Birth forest celebrates
another year of growth
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter

Strathmore Communities in Bloom (CIB) is growing the num-

ber of trees in the Town of Strathmore along with celebrating
the birth of children by further expanding their birth forest.
Standard library The program, which has seen the addition of 45 new trees
honoured and shrubs every year since 2008, was started to increase the
number of trees planted in Strathmore.
Page 11 The first location along Green Meadows Drive was completed
in 2016 while the second location of the project started the fol-
lowing year – it includes a series of fruit trees and shrubs along
Centennial Drive. Different fruit-bearing varieties include ap-
ples, pears, plums, cherries, haskap, blueberries and currants.
“All the fruit trees and shrubs we plant are hardy to our area
and so we are demonstrating to the residents of Strathmore
what can be planted,” said Rob Pirie with CIB, adding that they
hope the planting of trees also encourages residents to plant
more trees of their own.
High school rodeo Along with bringing up the tree population in Strathmore, the
birth forest also celebrates the rising population of Strathmore
by commemorating new babies in town. In this free program,
parents can register the new birth of their child as a method of
celebration. Once registered, they will receive a certificate com-
memorating the birth of their child and the birth forest.
“The birth forest is a legacy to the future of Strathmore – re-
member the quote: ‘He who plants a tree plants a hope,’” said
Pirie quoting Lucy Larcom.
Although registration forms are accepted all year long, Pirie
hopes parents register their children before the tree planting
takes place so they can also help with the plant and take a
picture with their newborns and a tree. All trees planted will
be accessible for everyone to enjoy. The trees are planted to
honour and recognize all new births and are not assigned to

Standard library is ‘making a difference’ Showtime:

JANET KANTERS
Times Editor
Standard Municipal Library recently
received Marigold Library System’s
Making a Difference award which rec-
ognizes and celebrates excellence and
innovation in library service.
According to Kristine den Boon,
Marigold’s library services consultant,
the award acknowledges a library and
team who are proud of an achieve-
ment in an area such as programming,
outreach, advocacy and public rela-
tions, partnerships and innovative use
of technology.
“The Standard Municipal Library em-
bodied the concept of innovation for
their Making a Difference Award appli-
cation this year by providing a unique
program to the children in their com-
munity,” said den Boon.
Last summer, 13 children and four
adults visited Blackfoot Crossing His-
torical Park, led by Adreena Duffala,
Standard library manager, where they
were treated to a guided tour, and
drumming session with traditional
songs, complete with a round dance by
ries: community benefit, excellence in
service, innovation and excellence in
advocacy.
The awards are given out annually
at Marigold’s member libraries’ work-
shop in May. The Marigold advocacy
committee determines the award re-
cipients based on the criteria.
This isn’t Standard Municipal Li-
brary’s first award – in 2015, the li-
brary received the Making a Differ-
ence Award for excellence in service.
That year, Duffala hosted over 100
programs with over 1,000 participants.
Programs offered included weekly
movie matiness, tween/teen crafting,
story and craftivities, kidz can cook,
sewing classes, video conferences,
summer reading, pumpkin carving
party, and a Christmas open house
with Santa.
Duffala said being recognized is im-
portant. “We are able to showcase what
a rural library can do. It increases our
visibility and creates a greater aware-
ness of how vital a library is,” she
noted. “It shows our growth, and com-
mitment to increasing and promoting

funding in reverse decision
JANET KANTERS
Times Editor
Wheatland County council took a re-vote on the library
funding issue, and by a narrow margin – 4-3 – voted to fund
libraries located within Wheatland County for 2019.
About 45 county ratepayers crammed council chambers on
Tuesday to show their support of libraries in the county and
to urge councillors to change their vote.
At the April 16 council meeting, councillors voted to with-
hold funding that was allocated to county libraries in the 2019
budget. A flurry of letters, emails and phone calls from con-
cerned ratepayers ensued, leading to an invitation to make
presentations at the May 21 council meeting.
Board members and interested individuals from libraries in
and Standard, spoke at the meeting, reiterating the impor-
tance of libraries, especially in small communities such as
those within the county.
As of April 16, 2019, there are 1,851 library cardholders in
Wheatland County. Funding approved by the county for 2019
totals $45,765.
At the May 21 meeting, councillors Tom Ikert, Scott Klassen
and Jason Wilson voted against the funding.

Strathmore gets McHappy

The Strathmore McDonalds location celebrated
McHappy Day with some familiar faces helping
behind the counters. Funds raised during the
one-day event, $1 from the sale of every Happy
meal, Big Mac, or hot McCafe beverage, help
support Ronald McDonald House charities.

because high school boys can be pretty dense, and think that

She did get to see me become a teacher and had been too

wedding day. I remember driving away from the cemetery
and looking back to see her lonely coffin at the site, waiting
to be later lowered. I thought back to that dance night in high
school, when I’d hurt her feelings and once again … I was
filled with regret. Even now, 34 years later, I think back to that
high school dance and eventually losing her to cancer. I’d sure

New MLA offices opening soon
LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
Hello Strathmore! I hope you are enjoying the improved
weather and taking advantage of Strathmore’s extensive path-
way system. I rode it with my assistant Pete when we were
training for the Ride to Conquer Cancer on our tandem bike
and it is one of the town gems.
Let me update you on our office situation. We will be open-
ing up new offices in Langdon and Strathmore. We needed to
open an office in Strathmore and hire another constituency as-
sistant to help us to serve you better. This has meant we have
to close the Chestermere office. As you know, the province is
faced with major debt and deficit issues and our budget has
been frozen. Our Strathmore office will open in June at 129
Second Avenue, and our office in Langdon will open in July at
the latest. It will be less than a 20-minute drive to our offices
from anywhere in the constituency. We are also very mobile,
so if coming to one of these offices is not convenient, we will
come to you if at all possible. Watch this space for updates.
In the meantime, please stop by and see Vicki and Peter at
the Chestermere office until the end of May. You may contact
us at 403-207-9889, or by email at chestermere.strathmore@
assembly.ab.ca. Thank you for your patience and understand-
ing as we get organized and set up.
Danielle Smith’s May 17 Calgary Herald column ( https://
calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/smith-fat-cat-alberta-
unions-back-doomsday-anti-oil-campaign ) made for interest-
ing reading. To quote Ms. Smith: “For those who don’t know,
Public Interest Alberta is a self-described public interest ad-
vocacy group. Its board of directors is represented by every
major public sector union in Alberta, including the Alberta
Teachers’ Association, the Health Sciences Association of Al-
berta, the United Nurses of Alberta, the Alberta Federation of
Labour, the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, the Non-
Academic Staff Association, the Calgary and Edmonton district
labour councils, and CUPE Alberta Division.”
What strikes me the most in this article is that our schools
and teachers, hospitals, nurses and other unions are funded
by our incredible resource sector. We owe our quality of life
to the energy sector. Other sectors like manufacturing, small
business and agriculture, all of us rely on a healthy economy
that is led by our energy sector. Energy is diversified, adapt-
able and even under the most hostile of circumstances, bounc-
es back with good policy and good management. To throw
the sector and its workers under the bus is disingenuous and
dangerous. The public sector union bosses are asking you to
advocate an end to Alberta’s energy sector. I know it sounds
ludicrous and it is. Did you know that union pension funds
are invested in oil and gas? It makes absolutely no sense at all.
Please read “Pact for a Green New Deal” ( https://act.green-
newdealcanada.ca/the-text/ ) which alarmingly describes that
we as energy producers are exacerbating the “systemic injus-
tices” of economic inequality, racism and the housing crisis.
They are suggesting that civilization will come to an end
and that the only way to fix this is to stop using fossil fuels.
Where is the evidence? Did you know that most societies that
exist in extreme poverty also suffer from energy poverty? Our
modern medical system is built on technology from the oil
and gas sector that saves millions of lives each year. What
about renewables? Well I love renewables and if there is a
market for them it is a fantastic mix into our grid; however,
subsidizing them and not being accountable to the fact that
every windmill and solar farm has to be backed up by reliable
power is misleading to the public, and does not tell the full
story. We need electricity and heat to survive, and renewables
May 24, 2019 • Strathmore TIMES • Page 7
are intermittent at best. Thank goodness we have natural gas
as a backup on those cold winter nights when the wind is not
blowing and the sun is not shining.
Another interesting point that is brought up is the entire
idea of using batteries to hold power from renewables. It
sounds great right? Of course, batteries require the mining of
large quantities of metals such as copper, nickel, lithium and
cobalt. Tesla has warned that there could be a shortage of
metals used in batteries which are key components in electric Strathmore RCMP is

Western Irrigation District Memories

- Peter and Elsie Nikkel
JOHN GODSMAN
Times Contributor
The Nikkel family name originated in
northern Holland and Prussia, before
settling in Ukraine in the 1700s. After
the Seven Years War, Russian Czarina
Catherine the Great required the servic-
es of farmers to rehabilitate her nation’s
land and persuaded many Mennonites,
including the Nik-kel family, to move to
the Ukraine.
In 1926, Peter’s grandfather came to
Coaldale, east of Lethbridge, with his
family, which in-cluded Peter’s father
Abram. This area was particularly at-
tractive to immigrants with a farming
background because of the opportuni-
ties associated with irrigation and sugar
beets.
Peter was born in 1938 in Coaldale
and attended the Readymade School for
both elementary and junior high, fol-
lowed by the Mennonite High School.
From 1958-1960, he attended SAIT in
Calgary for aircraft maintenance, which
led to subsequent work with Pacific
Western Airlines in Edmonton.
From 1964 to 1982, he was an auto-
motive teacher at Bowness High School,
then took a number of alternative fuel
courses, which came in handy after he
started farming and using irrigation.
From 1983 to 1993 he was a consultant
for Career Technology, then spent three
years curriculum writing for the prov-
ince.
Elsie (Thiessen) Nikkel’s family also
originated in Ukraine. She was born at
her parent’s farm in Namaka, and at-

Obituary
POTTER, Mildred Grace
February 8, 1934 – May 13, 2019
Mildred Grace Potter passed away peacefully on Monday, May 13,
2019 at Sagewood in Strathmore at the age of 85 years.
She will be forever loved and missed by her husband Gordon of 67
years and her four children: Neil (Marlene) Potter, Terry (Wayne) Hillestad, Lois (Les)
Dugdale and Russell (Pam) Potter. Mildred will be lovingly remembered as Grandma
by 11 grandchildren: Melissa (Todd) Christensen, Andrea (Murray) Slough, Nicole
Potter, Wes (Natasha) Hillestad, Jared Hillestad, Darcy (Rhonda) Dugdale, Ryan (Jes-
sica) Dugdale, Erin (Shane) Sawley, Devon (Tristan) Potter, and Jocelyn Potter. She
was a proud great-grandma to 19 great-grandchildren.
Mildred was born on February 8, 1934 and was the eldest daughter of Bud and
Frances Thompson. After she married Gordon they raised their family on the farm at
Dalemead. She volunteered in several community groups bringing companionship
to everyone in her kind and gentle way. Mildred and Gordon were avid bowlers and
shuffleboard players although she spoke more of the people she met than the game
she played. They were supporters of the hockey and ringette games of their grand-
children and great-grandchildren. Mildred loved nature, wiener roasts at the river,
jigsaw puzzles, handicrafts but mostly time spent with family and friends.
The family would like to acknowledge the exceptional care Mom received at the
George Boyack Nursing Home in Calgary and AgeCare Sagewood in Strathmore.
A Memorial Service was held at Mountain View Funeral Home on Friday, May 17,
2019.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Mildred’s name to the Wheat-
land Hospice Society, PO Box 2154, Strathmore, AB T1P 1K2 Phone: 403-934-8199

COLLETT, Scott Andrew
September 14, 1956 ~ May 15, 2019
It is with great sadness, and “a little shock”, that we announce the

worked hard and tried his hand at different jobs, A.G.T., Doug’s Earthmoving, trailer

was everything for Scott, he respected his brothers, sister, his mom and dad, and
when they lost their brother Ronnie, he was there for his family.
Scott was an animal lover, he had a black lab named Shadow as a kid, currently his
cats; Nelson and Newman.
He enjoyed coming home on the weekends, touring the countryside with his friend
Darren, teaching him proudly about the country. Scott was a practical joker and
loved to tease his nieces and nephews. He also enjoyed a little creative building
at work and home. He will be sadly missed by his loving family and a lifetime of
friends.

JORAWSKY, Harold Roy
May 2, 1929 – May 16, 2019
Harold Roy Jorawsky passed away on May 16, 2019 at Tudor Manor
in Okotoks.
Harold was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta on May 2, 1929. His family
homesteaded at Alderson, Alberta, sheep ranching until the early thirties and then
moved to the Didsbury area to try their hand in grain farming. After a few years
they moved to Carstairs and by this time Harold was grown up and helping his dad
farm. Harold worked in Calgary during the winters where he met Helen Skeen
while they both worked at Peoples Credit Jewellers. They were married on Sep-
tember 18th, 1951 and would spend the next 65 years living life to its fullest, being
virtually inseparable. In 1956 Harold and Helen moved to Strathmore with their
two sons, Roy & Alan, to continue farming with his Mom & Dad. They continued to
purchase additional land in the area, spending many years farming and welcoming
four more sons (Jim, Gregg, Dale and Norman) into the world. Harold belonged to
the Strathmore Lions Club and was on the board of directors for the Strathmore
Co-op for many years. In 1977 Harold & Helen moved to Calgary to semi retire, pur-
suing other business ventures while renting out the farm. In 1981, returning back
to Strathmore area, they built a home south of the original home place. In 1991
they moved to Calgary spending a few years before settling into Airdrie and then
onto Westbank, Kelowna in 2007. In 2011 they moved back to Calgary to be closer
to family. Harold & Helen loved travelling, spending many happy winters in Yuma,
Arizona, touring through Mexico and making the long journey to the Ukraine fol-
lowing their retirement from farming and small business. Harold is survived by his
sons Roy, Jim (Pat), Gregg (Dawn), Dale (Sharon) and Norman (Laura) as well as 11
grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Harold is predeceased by his wife Helen
Jorawsky (Skeen), son Alan Jorawsky, sister Annie Nawosad and daughter-in-law

Obituary
NEWMAN, Alice Bernice “Dolly”
(nee Jorgenson)
February 13, 1923 – Oyen, Alberta
May 16, 2019 – Calgary, Alberta
Dolly has gone dancing! Our dear Mother died on Thursday, May 16,
2019 aged 96.
Told how old she was when asked her reply was always a shocked “Really?” She
was living in Bow View Manor in Calgary for ten years and her family has greatly
appreciated the tender and loving care to Mom of the staff there. She considered
them part of her family. Born in Oyen, AB, she enjoyed her childhood raised on a farm
with her parents, sister and brothers, and cousins nearby. Her first job as a telephone
operator took her to Brooks and then to Edmonton where she spent the next sixty
years. While raising her family in Jasper Place, she contributed to the fast-growing
Edmonton region by organizing Brownie and Girl Guide troops, becoming a Girl Guide
Commissioner. She loved the outdoors, exploring much of Western Canada on camp-
ing and fishing trips with her husband and children. She worked in retail sales, her
last and most enjoyable job with Peoples Jewellers in diamond sales. She excelled
there and made friends of her customers. Shortly before retirement, dancing and
travel became her passions. West Edmonton Seniors was a great enjoyment, and
through that association she danced and competed successfully at Senior Games.
Travel took Mom all over Canada and through much of Europe and smaller parts of
Asia. Many winters were spent in Yuma, Ariz. with her brother Harry as well. Dolly
never met a stranger on her travels, only new friends.
Dolly is survived by her brother, Grant Jorgenson and wife Pat of Calgary, AB; her
daughter, Sharon White and husband Dean of Strathmore, AB; her son, Ken H.
Newman and wife Joan of Victoria, BC; grandchildren, Dena Annand and husband
Ritchie, David White and wife Sina, Jenne Newman and husband Jason Planidin, and
Sara Newman. She loved and enjoyed her six great-grandchildren who loved her
right back - Axel, Brom and Carys Annand, Davina White, Ruby and Parker Planidin.
She is also survived by nieces Lynn Johnson (Dale) and Donna Thomas (Denny), and
nephews Mark Jorgenson (Cecilia) and Ryan Jorgenson.
Mom was predeceased by her parents, Henry and Hilda Jorgenson; sister, Ethel
Carran (Ray); brothers, Arnold and Harry Jorgenson; and her son, Bryan Newman.
A Celebration of Dolly’s Life was held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY (Park Memorial,
5008 Elbow Drive SW, Calgary, AB) on Thursday, May 23, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. Recep-
tion to follow in the Hospitality Centre at the Funeral Home. Interment will take
place at a later date in Edmonton. Condolences may be forwarded through www.
McInnisandHolloway.com. If friends so desire in lieu of flowers donations may be
made to The Brenda Strafford Foundation Ltd. (4628 Montgomery Blvd. NW, Calgary,
AB, T3B 0K7).
In living memory of Dolly Newman, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek
Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Park Me-
morial, 5008 Elbow Drive SW, Calgary, AB, T2S 2L5, Telephone: 403-
