The Strathmore Handi-bus Association is do-ing better than ever in the last couple of years.

Despite the rumour coming out of Calgaryabout their Handi-bus programs being takenover by Calgary Transit, the Strathmore Handi-

buses have never been or are in no way afli-ated with the city program and will continueto run as they always have.

“We’re operated with the support of the Town of Strathmore and the County of Wheat-land and local donors,” said Brian Grier, withthe Handi-bus Association.

The mandate of the association is ‘to provide transportation services for seniors andphysically challenged (people) in the Town ofStrathmore and the County of Wheatland.’

The members meet every month, except inthe summer, and have representatives from

the town, county and various organizationsaround town, who are all strong supporters.Grier related that the accountant for the as-

sociation said in the last few months the nan-cial position is the strongest he has ever seen.

“Our buses are getting old, so we do need to buy new buses. We do have money… we have just purchased one recently,” said Grier.

“We think we’re going to buy another onethis year, but we’re going to be prudent aboutit. We’ll buy one this year and maybe we’ll buyone next year. We would like to get supportand we’re willing to give recognition.”

The idea is if a person or company donatesapproximately $25,000 or more to the associa-tion, their name would be placed on the exte-rior of the bus in recognition of their donation.

The $25,000 is about half of the cost of oneHandi-bus.

The association’s bigger bus is about 15 years old and has a few issues. The associationhopes to maybe replace it at some point, butit is more expensive to do so than the smaller

buses.Grier hopes one day the Handi-bus Associa-

tion will be self-sustaining.“That’s my goal. I want to operate without

donations … I think that’s a good goal for the board to look at and that’s one of the things we’re looking at in our strategic plan and working on,” said Grier.

In 2014 there were 5,963 trips, which worksout to around 500 people per month. So farthe numbers are on track to see the same us-age in 2015.

Wheatland County invited residentsof Lyalta and surrounding area to anopen house regarding the proposed

wastewater utility project.Homesteads Development, Wheat-

land County councillors and staff werepresent to answer any questions thatresidents may have had about the con-struction of the utility lagoon for waste-

water management.Homesteads Development and the

county are essentially playing the wait-ing game, until some details are -nalized, at which time the public willknow more.

“We’re waiting for subdivision ap-proval at this point and that’s what

we’re dealing with right now,” said BillMaher of Homesteads Development.“We’ve been doing this for ve years,our project, the sewer problem cameup last year and Muireld approachedus to ask us how we were dealing withthe sewer. That’s how this all devel-oped. We said, well we might as well

work together on this because we needone solution for Lyalta.

“We needed water and they had a wa-ter treatment plant and we came intoan agreement. We’ll do the sewer andthey’ll do the water. We’re trying to getit in place as soon as we can, becauseMuireld has an issue that they’re deal-ing with.”

He admits that the project has been

slow to get going, but now the con-struction has been steadily improving.“From the beginning until now, we’ve

had a recessive slow down. They’resaying that there is a slowdown now

and those have a big effect on mov-ing forward with the project,” said Ma-her. “Muireld was underway and you

saw their lots … there’s a fair numberof lots sitting there but they have resi-dents, so when they approached us wesaid ‘we’re not really ready’ for anoth-er year. But we’ll move forward if we

work together.Homesteads Development, in con-

junction with Muireld, believe theyhave a solution in place to help thesewage problem.

“We have a treatment process inplace to take the sewage from Muir-eld and the Homesteads and treat itup at that lagoon site, that is the answerand nobody else came forward with asolution to Muireld,” said Maher. “Wehad to come up with a solution for ourown project and that’s when we talkedto Cattleland. We’ve come up with thisprocess that’s a win for them becausethey need water for their elds and a

win for us because we needed a placeto build a lagoon. Muireld got tiedinto that because they needed a solu-tion to come into Wheatland becausetheir sewage treatment with the adja-cent county was coming to an end.”

The Homesteads Development arepatiently waiting for the go ahead from

Alberta Environment on the project.Councillor Alice Booth offered her

take on the project.“The county can’t do anything until

this is passed through Environment. This is a new project that’s never been

done anywhere,” said Booth.“Until Environment is satised of what this project’s going to be, howthat efuent is going to be handled andall of that. Really there’s nothing the

Q: Why is there a weekly“Ask a Funeral Director” article?The funeral industry is unlike any other.People have many questions about funeralsbut are often afraid of the answers or afraid ofasking close relatives for fear of bringing up

pain. This article was started to answer thosequestions. Many people have never dealt witha funeral before and are very misinformedabout the industry. Television commercials willtell you most funerals cost $10,000 and onlinesources will tell you all funeral directors arecon artists, both of which are false claims. Webelieve very strongly in the value of funeralsand we also believe that every person whoneeds our services should be as prepared aspossible. This article is intended to give properinformation on a wide range of topics that applyto the funeral industry. If you have a question,please call us or email it to the address below.

Booth added the county has somegroundwork to do while the process isongoing.

“What we have done is sent a letterto Alberta Environment, to let themknow we’re supporting this project andthey understand that we’re there withthe group moving forward. So we’re on

board,” said Booth. “We’ve already gavethem permission for the pipeline andso the process starts after that approvalis done.”

Changes are being promised for this year’s Strathmore Heritage Days andStampede, many of which the new Gen-eral Manager Herb McLane is sure willmake the experience more inviting tothose attending.

“Lots of folks don’t understand whatthe agricultural society is about,” saidMcLane.

“The community has really grownover the last several years and there’san urban dynamic here that doesn’t nec-essarily know what the Ag does, or theimpact they make on a community, andall the good deeds that are done. So we

want to ensure that that happens, that we extend more information out there.”

This is why a communications special-ist has been hired to help get the wordout, by coordinating with media and in-forming them about upcoming eventshappening at the Ag Park.

“Brad (Walls) and the board haveasked me not only to focus on signatureevents like the rodeo, but also to en-sure that we have year round program-ming to more fully utilize the resourcesthat we have in terms of the facility, thepark,” said McLane.

McLane prefers the word park for the Ag grounds, because the goal is to haveit as a park, for it to be a destinationfor local people and those far away. He

wants it to be a comfortable place forpeople to use, whether they are camp-ing, using the ball diamonds or the oth-er facilities the Ag has available.

One new event coming to the AgSociety is the rst annual StrathmoreHeritage Days and Stampede Golf Tour-

nament, being held June 12 at the Strath-more Golf Club.

“It’s sponsored by the society, but we

New Strathmore Ag GM looksfor positive outcomes

in part want to bring awareness to thestampede and rodeo. By that time it willonly be about six weeks away from thegolf tournament date,” said McLane.

“We want local participation, it’s opento anyone.”

Something else that is new to the Agthis year is a rock concert. The name ofthe performer is still under wraps fornow, but the concert will take place onthe Friday night of the rodeo. Saturday

will still have the cabaret with TC andCompany.

“We have been focused on someevents that we think will help createawareness… but also internally, we’ve

been reviewing essentially all aspects ofour business model; how we do things,how we create revenue, our expenseportfolio, our expense items, and see-ing where we can make some changesthat make sense … that make the opera-tion a little more efcient and also drivesome revenue,” said McLane.

“We’re thinking about some events inthe park sponsored by us, or co-spon-sored by us, because I am a great believ-er in alliances and partnerships. We planfor community involvement, upping ourgame in agriculture, particularly in foodand beverage, and products and experi-ences around that.”

McLane has had international experi-ence that he thinks could be brought toStrathmore and adapted here in a suc-cessful way.

The University of Calgary’s Solar Carteam visited Strathmore schools on May6.

The team spent the day chatting withstudents while showing off one of theirsolar cars, the Schulich Delta.

The visit was part of their commu-nity outreach program with the goal of

engaging in community awareness andencouraging sustainability. The hopeof the program is to educate studentsabout renewable energy and inspirethem.

“It is to push innovation into schooland encourage scientic spirit,” saidteam member and Strathmore HighSchool alumni Jonah Zankl.

He has been part of the team for two years and manages the business side of

the team. He feels like the project is afun and good way to give back to thecommunity, which is why they came toStrathmore.

“I wanted to make sure that we went back to all the schools that I went to,”said Zankl. “We really want to involvescience into the community.”

The team, which consists of Universityof Calgary students from all programs,has been building cars since 2004 in re-sponse to the North American solar car

challenge that ended in Calgary. The carsare completely student run so all thedesign, sponsorship, fundraising build-ing and driving is done by the Univer-sity’s students. According to the team’s

website, the Schulich Delta was builtin 2012/2013 and took eight months todesign, three months to mold and threemonths to build.

point to another building,” said Baron.“It’s based on a mirror image principle,so the identical building to the identical

building. It turns into a more scienticapproach based on criteria: what’s theuse and occupancy of a building, what’sthe nature of it’s construction, what’s the

height and length of the wall by howmany openings are in it.” The approach is essentially based

on the re protection surrounding the building.

“The building code also says wherethe re department takes more than 10minutes to respond to get there, whichin itself is a whole other set of calcula-tions, because when a call does come in,

when does the clock start,” said Baron.“The way the code looks at it is when

you exceed the 10 minutes that limitingdistance now doubles.”

Baron cautioned that there is no wayof really solving the 10-minute issue.

“So there’s not a particular straightanswer to the 10-minute issue becauseof all of these other factors that need tocome into consideration. So within that… changes to the construction types andtechniques,” said Baron. “For example if

you were to put in a standard 2X6 walland you had to put some exterior grade

x-rated drywall (up), then you have reproong on the outside, you change thecharacteristics of the performance ofthat wall, which invariably changes thatdistance to the midway distance of that

wall.”Councillor Steve Grajczyk admits this

will be a complex formula that will not be implemented over night.

“This already complex to me anyway,”said Grajczyk. “I don’t know about the

rest of council, but I need a Reader Di-

gest version of all these numbers andeverything else can’t be done in oneevening.”

Grajczyk had asked Baron about howanother re hall could mitigate some is-sues. “You can build as many re hallsas a community grows,” said Baron, “but

you’re never going to get caught up to it because it’s always the type of construc-tion and the use of not building it thatdrive the expectation of performance.”

Baron offered his answer to Council-lor Bob Sobol’s question whether the

builder’s costs adhere to the law and isit in reach.

“It’s always within reach, I don’t know what normal (cost) would be. I do knowa normal here is going to be differentthan a normal in the City of Calgary,

where they start getting into the onemillion dollar envelope on housing,”said Baron.

“I don’t expect you’ve got that here.If your builders in your community are

big on steel studs for example … I hadthat blip happen when I was in the eldand I had builder’s come through … andall of sudden they’re big on steel studs,

building houses on steel studs. It can bedone.”

Baron added that the costs are not as-

tronomical to do this project.Deputy Mayor Rocky Blokland thoughtBaron’s information was of value.

“I’m getting a lot of informationhere tonight that’s certainly starting tostraighten things out. I like the possibil-ity of more re halls not being the an-swer,” said Blokland. “One of the bestthings we’ve got going in Strathmore isour volunteer re department and ku-dos to them, we’ve got a great re ser-

vice in this town. I stress the word vol-unteer because I rmly believe we canhave three re halls in town, but as longas we’re strictly volunteer to get to those10 minute response times can be prettydifcult.”

Wheatland County extended their fencing agree-ment with DENICO through 2016.

DENICO has served the county well for three years and were recommended to come back foranother term by staff.

“Their agreement was from 2012 to 2014 andthere was a possibility for an extension, so theirfees were xed for those three years. With the newrates, they’ll be xed for the next two years,” said

Alan Parkin, Wheatland County’s Chief Administra-tive Ofcer.

“In 2017, we’ll have to go out for a new tender because we won’t be able to extend it again. DENI-CO can apply again but might not be successful.”

Parkin added that the rate increase is in the eightto 10 per cent range because of the materials that

will be needed by the company.“Most of the materials have gone up in the last

three years. The labour costs have been the same,like they have always been. Different things wentup different amounts,” said Parkin.

VALLEY BUS FUNDING

Reeve Koester received letter back from the Val-

ley Bus Society in regards to their future plans foraging buses. The two-year fundraising plan willinclude replacing the aging vehicles to buy new-er ones, without the existing stairs or wheelchairlifts, as it is matter of them being a hazard and too

expensive. The campaign will also include buying vans instead of buses, as they are easier to movearound and it helps with controlled costs. The costsfor a fully equipped van will be $75,000. The re-port also indicated that the Valley Bus Associationis looking for a donation.

HELIPAD EXPANSION

Deputy Reeve Ben Armstrong had an update onthe expansion of the Strathmore Hospital Helipad,

Wheatland Regional Water Partnership (WRWP)project and Transfer Site Agreements the countyhas with small villages. He mentioned that there isan updated provincial direction through the ruralhealth services review. The WRWP project is hop-ing for an updated application on the scope of the$9 million expense for the pipeline. There is a hopeof renegotiating an agreement with the villages, forshared costs of maintaining transfer sites for gar-

JESUS - AUTHOR & FINISHER...To me it seems almost pre-mature to stray away from the Eastermessage of Jesus Christ - His life,crucixion and His resurrection from the dead. These events form thevery core message of true biblicalChristianity. I really appreciatedhow Pastor Dawn from Lord of AllLutheran Church organized theannual Strathmore and District min-isterial Good Friday Service this year.She included all of the clergy fromvarious churches who were able to

be present. What struck me was the‘rallying’ of us as Christian leadersaround the Person of Jesus Christand the events from Scripture thathappened around the time of Jesus’Crucixion. Each church individuallycelebrated on Easter Sunday theresurrection of our Lord.A wholeweekend centered around our Savior- as should be all our days. The primeemphasis of the Christian Church isand always must be the person ofJesus Christ our Lord and Savior andComing King!It is apparent that we are, as asociety here in Canada, losing ourfreedoms and privileges to promoteJesus publicly. The Supreme Court ofCanada ruled that it is not ‘lawful’ tohave public prayer in our Parliament

and Councils of cities and towns. Thevery foundation of our country wasbuilt on the Word of God and theseprivileges of prayer too. This ought

not to be! We are living in a country that no longer stands for God, HisWord and our Christian roots. Whatis next? Will God be legislated out ofour country altogether?Christian opposition suggests wehave ‘matured, progressed andevolved’ and no longer need the‘opium’ of Christianity. They say weare ‘modern and forward-thinking’.Really?Looking at the state of the world welive in suggests otherwise. Neverbefore has there been this kind of

rampant deterioration of the familyunit, to say nothing of the murder-ing of our unborn children! Yes, all through history it has been evident that we live in the state of a ‘FallenWorld’. Our only hope is the Princeof Peace. Hebrews 12:1 says “Letus x our eyes on Jesus, the Authorand Finisher of our faith.” We, theChurch, must persist under pressure.The Strathmore and DistrictMinisterial is a way to help unite the churches as we representChristianity. We are all proud to callJesus Christ our Lord and King, even though our services take on differentavors. Unity is around centering onHim alone. He died for all, rose from the dead and is coming back again.He comes alive in our hearts by faith.

True unity is found in Him alone.

The school’s musical specialists, CarolynnSteeves, could not be any more proud of her group

accomplishment.“What it’s called is the Alberta Musical Festival Association’s Provincial Coral Finals and we werecompeting in a Grade 4-6 choir class, representingDrumheller Festival because that’s who nominatedus and we ended up tied for second place,” said

Steeves. “I think they worked hard all year, they really

wanted to go to provincials and when they gotthere, we’re here, let’s do it and they sang very well.

They got a superior rating and a mark of 92, anawesome result all the way around,” said Steeves.

“We got a placement and to the kids that’s veryspecial.”

For being such big group, the team was praisedfor their dedication to teamwork.

“The kids were actually complemented from theadjudicator on their total commitment to the groupand great part singing,” said Steeves.

She admits that there was no special technique

Brentwood choir sings to a ‘silver’ nishthey used but the kids just went and sang quality music.

“We presented our materials like everybody else and the ad- judicator liked the quality of our music and we were rewardedfor that,” said Steeves.

The choirs will end the year off with the singing of ‘OhCanada’ at Canada Day festivities and at the opening ceremo-nies of the Alberta 55 Plus Summer Games.

Steeves would like to acknowledge the piano accompanistKathie Zakresky for her commitment and job well done withthe group.

Eddy Dostaler, known as ‘Fast Eddy’, ran throughtown on April 23, on the rst part of his solo andunsupported round trip running trek across Can-ada.

Dostaler, 26, started his run on March 1. His

‘There and Back’ run began in Victoria, B.C. and will run to Conception Harbour,N.L., before turning around andheading back to B.C. Manned withonly what’s essentially a joggingstroller, he lled it with everythinghe needs.

“No one to date has ever com-pleted there and back,” said Dos-taler. “On average it takes someone7,300 km to get across Canada. Itcan take a little bit under, but that’sthe average. It’s taking me just one

way around 10,000 kilometres.” The idea began when he did a

research paper on Terry Fox whenhe was 15. He found Fox’s run to

be such a seless act that it reso-nated with him and he decidedone day run across Canada for Al-zheimer’s.

“I picked Alzheimer’s right thenand there because it not only af-fects the person being diagnosed,

but it really hard-hits the family,”said Dostaler.

As with many people, life beganto become busier and his lofty goal moved to the

backburner. It was when his grandmother was di-agnosed with Alzheimer’s two years ago that heknew it was time to hit the pavement. He calledthe Alzheimer’s Society and told them he wouldrun one way for them, and jumped in with twofeet.

Three months into the planning he went to tell

one of his professors about it and found out theprofessor had passed away. The professor hadalways told Dostaler that one day he should dosomething for breast cancer research and aware-ness.

With a new plan Dostaler changed the scope ofhis run and changed from being supported on therun, to heading out solo. He is now running for

both causes.Fundraising hasn’t been as good as he had

hoped, but being a man of his word, he set outon March 1.

“The biggest hazard I have is people texting anddriving. They just don’t pay attention,” said Dos-taler.

Someone reading and responding to even aquick text, driving at 400 to 600 metres and 100km an hour, could drive past and not even notice

him. “If you have your wheel turnedslightly to the right, you’re goingto hit me and I can’t really get outof the way.”

Something that does encouragehim on his daily runs is when peo-ple honk as they drive by.

“A honk can go a long, long way. It denitely does make yourday. The more and more people

who stop, the more cheerful I am.It makes someone’s day to havesomeone notice what you’re doingand you’re not doing it in vain,”said Dostaler.

There are days that are tough, buthe has never wanted to quit, stat-ing that every time he gets tired,and maybe a little discouraged, heremembers why he is running.

“Why? One in nine women areaffected with breast cancer. One inthree people know someone with

Alzheimer’s. This has worked inthe past and it has created hugefoundations, where it’s in 47 differ-

ent countries for the Terry Fox run,” said Dostaler.“You may not personally be living with the ill-

nesses, but that’s what kind of makes you a little bit different in that sense. It’s a seless act in thesense that there’s no real personal gain for me.

“A random act of kindness can create an endlessripple. I would much rather do something withmy life than sit idly by wishing something had

been done. If you’re waiting for that perfect time,that perfect moment, it’s never going to happen. You have to sit there and you have to create thatperfect time that perfect moment and build on it.”

In addition to running through each province,zigzagging along the way to hit major cities, Dos-taler will also be hosting 10, 24-hour-long runs ineach province to raise awareness. To nd out howhe is doing, where he is, or to donate go to http://

Fast Eddy blasts through town

Times Reporter

The Harvest Healing Centre wants to supportthe community any way they can, focusing onhelping people in a practical sense rst, and thenpossibly helping them spiritually.

“This vision for us is a little bit different in the building was built for community, a practical building. Most churches don’t have a shop, it’s nota really fancy stained-glass-window-type church,and in here we deal with a lot of different people,addicts, people like that come in and out throughhere as well,” said Pastor Elizabeth Karp.

“The key, for me anyway, is the people I runacross they don’t have a lot, they don’t have a lotof funds and initially the church’s mandate is tolook after people practically and then look afterthem spiritually, so the one kind of leads into theother.

“Our mission statement here is REAL, relation-

al, excellent, accepting and life-giving, and that’s what we’re striving to be in the community, what-ever that looks like.”

There are clothes for people in need, there areprograms offered for the youth, including learn-ing more about being a mechanic, and there’s thefree bread that is given away a couple nights a

week.Eventually the members of the church would

like to offer a soup kitchen; there have been gen-erous donations for the kitchen so it has beenset up with a commercial kitchen and the onlythings missing now are food and people. As it is,

on Sundays, the church does offer a breakfast bydonation to anyone interested.

“We can’t run on free though because then thekitchen won’t be able to make a breakfast, weneed people to donate enough money to at leastmake enough to buy the food for the next break-fast,” said Audrey Senft, who runs the kitchen.

The church and its community are being builton the passion of the people within it. For Karpthe passion began when she was younger. She

was born in Norway and moved to Surrey, B.C. when her family immigrated. A lot of her friends were street kids and addicts, many of whom died young. She always recognized, though, that they were people too, just hurt people, and there wasn’t a lot of love shown, something she wantedto share. Addiction is a way to get away from hurtand pain, said Karp, and addicts have no copingskills to do that, which is why they turn to alcoholor drugs or whatever it is.

At a young age she became a mom, she was

married, and has had her own ups and downs. Aslife went on people would continue to cross herpath, and to this day she still loves who they are.

“I have huge respect for anyone that has theguts to walk in, even to this ofce, lay everythingon the table, tell me everything they have done

because they are desperate to get well, I havehuge respect for that,” said Karp, which is partly

why she now tries to be there for the people thatdon’t have anyone, to help them and guide themas much as she can.

“I believe God can bring healing into people’slives.”

KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., CROWFOOT Parliamentary Report

Last October, Prime Minister Stephen Harperintroduced the Low-Tax Plan for Families, which

will provide benets to four million Canadianfamilies this year. Low and middle-income fami-lies will receive two-thirds of the overall benetsprovided by this package.

First, the new Family Tax Cut is aimed at cou-ples with children under the age of 18, whereone spouse is in a higher tax bracket than theother. Transferring up to $50,000 of income fromspouse to the other can lower a family’s overalltax bill up to a maximum of $2,000.

Second, we have enhanced the Universal ChildCare Benet (UCCB). Our Government is increas-ing the UCCB for children under age six. As of

Jan. 1, 2015, parents will receive a benet of $160per month for each child under the age of six –up from $100 per month. Parents will now receive$1,920 per child, per year. We are also expandingthe UCCB to children aged six through 17. As of

Jan. 1, 2015 these parents will receive a benetof $60 per month for each of these children. Thisamounts to $720 per child, per year.

Next, we are increasing the Child Care ExpenseDeduction limits by $1,000 for the 2015 tax year.

You or your spouse may be able to claim a deduc-tion for expenses incurred for someone to lookafter your child so that one of you can work orgo to school.

Lastly, we have doubled the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit from $500 to $1,000 per child, startingin the 2014 tax year.

Our Low-Tax Plan for Families is affordable,

even with the current challenges confrontingCanada’s – and Alberta’s – economy. What we

have done is pursue a plan of balanced budgetsand low taxes for families, for individuals, and for businesses.

This past week, Justin Trudeau promised toraise taxes on thousands of middle class families

by replacing the Family Tax Cut with his “Family Tax Hike,” and taking away your ability to savemore through your Tax Free Savings Account.

The Liberal Party will scrap the Universal ChildCare Benet which they have long said parentsspend on “beer and popcorn.”

The Liberals have also stated their ideologicallyopposition to income splitting and seniors should

be worried. Finally, critics are citing a $2 billionshort-fall in the Liberal plan and Justin’s reply has

been that he will announce details on that at alater date.

Our Conservative Government’s plan is puttingmore money back in the pockets of taxpayers –as much as $6,600 per year per average family offour. The political alternatives in Parliament wantto return to higher tax levels and roll back our re-cord-level of support for families. They want yourmoney to ow back to Ottawa for them to spendon big government. We won’t let that happen.

The Relay for Life is fastapproaching on June 13 inStrathmore and the fund-raising has been a gratifyingsuccess.

“It’s going really well this year. We decided to make thechange from a 12-hour relayto a ve-hour relay, which

we haven’t done in the pas t with them,” said SiobhanDoherty of the CanadianCancer Society. “We’re hold-ing it in Kinsmen Park this

year, it’s open to the public,not just teams.”

The pre-event fundraisinghas continued to be success-ful and is only increasing asthe event gets closer.

“We’re at $5,200 of our

goal of $25,000, so that’ssuper exciting for us. We’vehad a silent auction, wedid a family dance and theother thing we have comingup at the end of the monthon May 23 we have kids ka-raoke night at the Quonsetand adult karaoke on May30 at Legends Sports Bar,”said Doherty. “Our biggestgoal this year is to let peo-ple know about the Relayfor Life and come out to theevent to see how fun it can

be and learn about the Ca-nadian Cancer Society.”

Doherty has been thrilled with the community supportthat Strathmore has beenable to display through the

fundraising process.“I think in a small town

you see the buy-in fromcommunity members thatthey really care and it’s re-ally important to them …cancer is something thattouches so many people,”said Doherty. “My main con-cern is trying to do a com-munity event that’s actuallymeaningful to the commu-nity.”

Team Value Drug Marthas been one of the top lo-cal supporters with a totalof $1,500 raised through lu-minary sales, and could not

be any happier with howtheir efforts are going.

“It slowly kicked off andat this point I think we’redoing fairly well withoutnobody knowing that this is

where the luminary peopleare,” said Donna Biggett,team captain. “We’ve soldabout 25 and that’s just cus-tomers wanting to do it orstaff members here and Ithink it’s a good start,”

Biggett admits the biggestreason why they’ve doneso well with their initiativeis because many people onthe team have been touched

by cancer.“We’ve either lost or sup-

ported people that are bat-tling cancer and somethingthat’s coming from ourhearts,” said Biggett.

Lumanaries are still avail-able at Value Drug Mart andcan be purchased for $5.

Brandi Hebbes of the Strathmore Regional ArtCollective (SRAC) came forward to Strathmoretown council on May 6 with a proposed graftiproject.

“A couple of weeks ago, Dave Rimes, ParksSupervisor for the Town of Strathmore, came toSRAC with concerns regarding dealing with graf-ti, specically the grafti on the backside ofdugouts at the ball diamonds on the south end ofKinsmen Park,” said Hebbes. “Since art was a so-lution, SRAC was more than happy to help out.”

Strathmore Regional Art Collective has put aplan in place to prevent the unwanted graftiaround town.

“We thought of the two-pronged approach involving putting art in the grafti areas and alsoputting up grafti walls where kids would be

welcome to paint. As an artist, this seems like agreat idea to me,” said Hebbes. “However, sincesubmitting that request to town council, we have

been able to meet with Constable Shannon Whitefrom the Crime Reduction Unit of the RCMP herein town.”

Hebbes was impressed with what White brought to the table for the project.

“She did some very thorough research, whichshe brought to the meeting on the success ofgrafti walls in many other cities in North Amer-ica,” said Hebbes. “The walls by most accounts

were a resounding failure.” Therefore, the Strathmore RCMP would not

like a grafti wall.“However, in this meeting we did discuss a

new approach … that of developing programsto clean up existing grafti as it occurs, in an ef-

fort to curb more grafti,” said Hebbes. “SRAC ispretty excited to spearhead these initiatives and we still think that installing art in the grafti ar-eas is still a very valid idea.”

The hope is to educate young kids before theydecide get involved in grafti.

“We hope to target the young early on, before

they feel the need to turn to vandalism to belongto something,” said Hebbes. The cost for the projects will be in the range of

$25,000- $100,000.She was hopeful that the town would get on

board with their proposal.“At this point, SRAC is presenting this proposal

to town council for consideration. In the shortterm, we’re only hoping that town council will ap-prove the concept in principle and supply SRAC

with a letter to that effect, so we may submit thisletter with their application,” said Hebbes. “At alater date, SRAC would propose a motion to towncouncil for consideration that we would be per-mitted to put outdoor art in problem grafti sites,

with the art projects approved on a case-by-case basis in accordance with specic proposals.”

Councillor Denise Peterson put a motion onthe oor to provide a letter of support to theStrathmore Regional Art Collective, as she has a

bit of background having been in meetings withthem.

“I was lucky to be at the meeting with DaveRimes when he rst talked about problems ofgrafti and heard later about the issues the RCMParticulated. It’s been a great journey to learn tounderstand how negative grafti can impact acommunity and how positive art is in the same

way,” said Peterson.“There’s a lot of compelling research that talks

about what Brandi has presented here that youngchildren participate in community-based art proj-ects and show the good of their work.”

Peterson believes this will only enhance Strath-more’s arts scene.

“I think there is tremendous potential to bringmany artists and utilize our schools as well in thesame area. I think it’s a great plan and a tremen-dous benet to the community,” said Peterson.

The musical Wildwood Fire appears on Rose- bud’s BMO Studio Stage, May 6 to June 20. Thisplay, written by Lauren de Graafand Kelsey Krogman, is a treat foreveryone who loves a musical story,and especially for fans of June Cart-er Cash and Johnny Cash.

We understand there was sup-posed to be a different kind of con-cert, performed by Johnny Cash,

June Carter Cash and June’s motherMaybelle Carter. But Johnny is inthe hospital, suffering the effects ofhis substance abuse, so his mother-in-law Maybelle (Alix Cowman) left

June in the hospital with Johnny,and has come to do this concertalone. But June (Lauren de Graaf)surprises her mother by also com-ing to perform, insisting she doesn’t

want to disappoint their audience.De Graaf and Cowman use stories and songs,

with banjo and ukulele, to tell the story of June’slife, about her growing up with music, and her life

with Johnny -- their sorrows, their struggles, andtheir love. While Maybelle urges June to go to herhusband, to be the supportive wife she’d taught

her daughter to be, we discover thatfear of disappointing her audienceis not June’s only fear, and that it’snot the real reason she insisted she

would perform. Wildwood Fire is a touching

story, and our sell-out crowd gavede Graaf and Cowman a standingovation. If you enjoy the music of

Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash,or are fascinated by their story of

victory over tragedy, you’ll love thisshow too.

However, you’ll need to book your tickets soon. As of openingnight, nearly 75% of the WildwoodFire tickets were sold. Fortunately,Rosebud Theatre has added three

extra shows to the line-up. You can get your ticketsat 1-800-267-7553 or rosebudtheatre.com.

Performing in the 2011 Passion Play turned JohnMoerschbacher’s life around.

“I had pretty much lost all my faith in human-ity,” he says. “The Passion Play restored a lot ofthe belief that I really wanted what(people) had to offer.”

The acting was so “hugely fun,” heattended Scout Week, a step towardenrolling in Rosebud School of the

Arts (RSA).“Not with the intention of apply-

ing for admission,” he says, “but be-cause I wanted to prolong the fun.(But Scout Week) only increased mylove of theatre.”

In August 2012, he and his wifeLynn left their jobs, rented out theirCalgary home, and moved to Rose-

bud. John was a student again – inhis 60s.

“It was no small thing,” John says.“But I was quite determined andLynn was determined that if I was

determined, she’d become deter-mined too.”Lynn took a job in Rosebud. They expected to

stay four years. But in summer 2013, Lynn was laidoff – so they couldn’t afford John’s second year ofschool.

Rosebud’s Thorny Rose Cafe asked them to takeover as managers. John is “fast in the kitchen,” hesays. Lynn’s strengths are “decorating, with makingthings pretty and inviting.”

More importantly, they wanted to “love on” thecustomers.

“We have a heart of hospitality,” Lynn says. “Iknow that it’s God’s love. It’s not my love that Ilove people so much ... it’s God’s love. And when

you see them with His eyes, you can’t help butreach out and cherish, from the littlest two-year-oldto the granny.”

“What I’ve loved about the cafe,” John says, “ismeeting so many people from so many differentplaces. And being able to make their day special

by being there, by talking to them ... so in comingin, we just offered what we are, and what we had.”

“I know this last year and a half has made a dif-ference for lots of people,” Lynn says. “We blessothers but in turn we’re so, so very blessed ... it’s

been like we’ve had this great big family here.” John also took RSA’s playwriting courses, and

acted in half-a-dozen roles from Calgary to Edmon-ton.

But running a café “is a moun-tain of work,” he says. By the endof summer 2014, they’d workedfour months of 70-hour weeks.

“We were at our end,” he says.“We took two weeks off and wecouldn’t see straight.”

And none of John’s acting wasin Rosebud.

“I came to the conclusion,” hesays, “that my acting career ...is best served in a larger cen-ter where there’s many differentthings to audition for.”

They decided they couldn’t runthe cafe another summer. They’removing back to Calgary. The café

will continue under new manage-ment.

John will return full-time to his job at Rona, keep writing playsand doing acting auditions. Lynn will look for a job

where she’ll keep making a difference.“There’s lots of people that need loving on,” she

says. “Lord, where do You have for me next?” John says, “we also look forward to having some

time where we can come out here and enjoy thethings that we haven’t had time to enjoy, living and

working here.”But they’ll miss living here.“The sweetest thing (about Rosebud) has de-

nitely been the people,” he says. “The residents as well as the visitors, all of them ... you get to be very close to people here ... it will be hard. We’lldenitely miss that.”

Rosebud will miss them too.“What they’ve given to the community is remark-

able,” says Paul Muir, RSA’s education director.“Beauty and creativity run through Lynn as muchas through John.

“In all kinds of ways, there’s been deep disap-pointment (for them here). But in that disappoint-

Farewell may be a new beginning for beloved Rosebud couplement, they continued to give, give, give.

“Their future is bright. The dream that’s planted in John, it’sstill unfolding ... I don’t think John’s going to give up on thedream.

“Who knows what (their story) is going to look like? Godtakes us on a certain journey. We think it’s going to go a cer-tain way. But God is taking it this way.”

John and Lynn remind each other that God has unknownopportunities ahead.

“God makes a way for everything. God’s grace is sufcient,” John says.

“This is not the end,” he says, quoting Winston Churchill. “Itis not even the beginning of the end. It is perhaps, though, theend of the beginning.”

Getting pretty for a good cause

SHANNON LECLAIR

The Harvest Healing Cen-tre is looking to take yourused cars so that the youthin the community can learn anew trade. Inside the churchis a little different than what

you would normally expect.One section is a mechanicsshop, complete with a pro-fessionally installed hoist.

Don Howe, shop man-ager for the centre, said he

would love to see all sorts ofequipment be donated in or-der to teach the youth, girlsand boys, about how things

work, and possibly spark alifelong interest in them.

“It’s not only the cars, I would like to have go-karts,snowmobiles, motorcycles,I don’t care what it is, if it’s

got a motor on it, and thekids can learn from it, (thenI want it),” said Howe.

“What we’re looking for ispeople who will donate ve-hicles for a tax deduction, Imean we can do that, or ifthey just give them up we’llpick them up free. The thing

will be to give the kids anopportunity to play around

with them a little bit and geta feel for things and see ifit is something that intereststhem.”

They will not be doing re-pairs for people in the com-munity, but Howe did say ifa vehicle is donated that can

be repaired and put back onthe road, then they will gothrough it, get it recertiedand may sell it to someonethat needs it.

Howe said a lot of themembers of the church haveacreages outside of town,and this would give the kidsan opportunity to x some-thing up, and then take it outand try it, and essentially see

“I’m hoping to have a fewmore adults get involved, butnot only just to hold it to theautomotive, but maybe to

build a shed or let them (the youth) learn a little bit about wood,” said Howe.

Another reason this is hap-pening is to help give thekids something that keepsthem off the streets. Howesaid that’s something youhear all the time, but said it’snot only about that, “It’s see-

ing where there’s maybe aninterest.”

Howe said even if some-one has a vehicle, or equip-ment that can’t necessarily berepaired, it could be brokendown and sold for scrap, andthe funds from that could goto further the initiative. Anyand all youth in the com-munity, church members ornot, are invited to take partin the initiative. Stop by theCentre, 102 Canal Gardensor call 403-901-0893 to ndout more info.

Pranava Yoga Studio is of-fering a new YogaBugs sum-mer camp for the community.

The camps will be offered tochildren in Grades 1-3 and4-6.

“It is going to be reallyfocused individually on thechildren succeeding in thecamp,” said Becky Stone,owner of Pranava. “They’ll be

getting one hour of yoga withme and then the rest of theday will include lots of differ-ent things in terms of keep-ing it focused on the yogaprinciples of self-awareness,

breath capacity and powerof calming the mind that isgeared to how a kid is goingto learn it through fun.”

There will be outdoor ad- ventures, hiking aroundtown and seeing what thecommunity can teach them,and learning about makinghealthy lifestyle choices.

“By keeping our groupsmall it allows us to do somereally neat activities, so we’relooking at doing a smoothieday where the kids can buildtheir own smoothies and lit-tle cooking classes here andthere,” said Stone.

“We’re going to be teach-ing meditation but we’re go-ing to be doing it in waysthat incorporates compas-sion towards the rest of thechildren in the group.”

Throughout the rest of theday they will continue to

build body awareness as wellas incorporating the princi-

ples of yoga.Stone said the groups are

recommended age groupsonly, if families feel like they

want siblings to participatein the same week, it can bediscussed. There will also bespecial pricing for peoplethat sign up for two weeks ata time, or for a second sib-ling. Pricing is $200 a week,or $180 for the specialty pric-ing.

Participants will need to

bring the usual – water bot-tles, packed lunch, and sun-screen, if you use a specialone, but there will sunscreenoptions as well. There has

been children’s program-ming at the studio for a cou-ple of years and Stone saidthe instructors and memberslove having the opportunityto get to know the childrenindividually.

“As we get to know kids better through our yogaclasses, we realized we canreally relate to them andhow they learn and howthey communicate so that

we can communicate withthem,” said Stone. “Throughthose lines of trust and re-lationship we can reallystart to build a foundationof what we believe is mostimportant, competence, self-awareness, compassion andempathy.”

The camps will run from9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday toFriday. More info about thecamps and the dates they

will be offered can be foundat http://www.pranavayoga.ca/#!kids--teens/cj7k.
