Regardless of trepidation about a 30per cent loss in attendance with rodeosin surrounding areas due to an econom-ic downturn, the Strathmore Stampedeattracted record numbers last weekend– numbers that are being credited to thesignature event’s reputation, changes inadvertising, and a large number of new
venues and attractions.Crowds flocked to Canada’s third
largest rodeo this year, eager to scorea front-row seat for the acclaimed 12thannual Running With the Bulls event,hoping to get into the cabaret that wasforced to turn hundreds of people away,or enter their furry four-legged friend in
the latest competition – the Dachshundraces. Although plummeting numbers at
nearby attractions suggested Strathmoremay be facing a similar fate, the Strath-more and District Agricultural Society
were pleasantly surprised when Strath-more’s numbers contradicted those pre-dictions. This held especially true, when the
Strathmore Family Centre reached its1,800 people capacity and a line-up ofroughly 300 patrons were eagerly wait-ing to get into the cabaret.
“Our cabaret, we were turning peo-ple away, that’s how busy we were,”said Brad Walls, president of the Strath-more and District Agricultural Society. “I
haven’t seen crowds at the cabaret likethat since 2006. Obviously we were ex-pecting a downturn, and that not hap-pening shows us we’re doing somethingright and whatever that is, we’re goingto continue on that path.”
For more than a year, staff and vol-unteers have implemented numerouschanges and worked hard on expand-ing the Stampede experience. Thesechanges included different musicalperformances, various entertainment –
which had a greater focus on teenagersthan before – and switching the Mondayschedule to feature the chuckwagon fi-nals before the rodeo finals.

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 commercialswill tell you most funerals cost $10,000 andonline sources will tell you all funeraldirectors are con artists, both of which arefalse claims. We believe very strongly in thevalue of funerals and we also believe thatevery person who needs our services shouldbe as prepared as possible. This article isintended to give proper information on awide range of topics that apply to the funeralindustry. If you have a question, pleasecall us or email it to the address below.

Surrounded by his fellow volunteersand his family, Bruce Bishop was movedto tears when he was caught off-guardand presented with the Keith Schneider
Award for his years of hard work and volunteer efforts.
Bishop, who’s been volunteering inStrathmore for over 31 years, includingtaking on a crucial role for the Alberta55 Plus Summer Games and never wa-
vering to lend a helping hand with theStrathmore Lions Club, was not expect-ing the recognition on Aug. 2.
“I walked out there with my wife andkids and I didn’t see them so I didn’tknow what was going on until they toldme to turn around,” recalled Bishop.
“I like to keep busy and it’s part ofthe family. My dad and my sister each
worked for their community and always volunteered. I knew Keith and I knewhim all the time he was alive.”
Bishop added that receiving this spe-cific award carries more weight because
of what and who it represents. The Strathmore and District Agricul-
tural Society dedicated their excellenceaward to Keith Schneider, a formermayor and an influential person in thecommunity, in 2010. Having receivedthe award himself, Pascal Del Guercio,chairman of the Strathomre Pro RodeoCommittee, can’t think of anyone moredeserving to have accepted the recogni-tion this year.
“Bruce Bishop has been a big workerhere for many years, I can’t tell you howlong… and last night it was his turn,”said Del Guercio. “When you see an oldman cry you know you’ve touched theirheart. It’s special to recognize him forthe work he’s done. I’ve been aroundhere a long time and it seems that be-sides the seagulls out here on a regu-lar basis, I see Bruce. He’s a workaholicand he’s always here. I don’t remember a
year when he hasn’t been here.”Bishop is the second Strathmore Li-
ons Club member to have received theaward, with Gordon Prusky having beenawarded the honour previously. While Bishop is not one to sit still, he
planned on putting up his feet for a bit
once all the Strathmore Stampede clean-up was taken care of on Aug. 3.

Strathmore-Brooks MLA Derek Fildeb-randt and Wildrose Party Leader Brian
Jean are accustomed to taking the bulls by the horns in the legislature, but last weekend, the two politicians voluntari-ly stepped onto the Strathmore rodeogrounds to take on the actual hornedanimals – all in the name of winning theCalgary-Foothills by-election.
Moments after Fildebrandt addressedStrathmore’s prestigious Running Withthe Bulls event at the legislature, hand-
written notes from the NDP memberssoon made their way to the MLA en-couraging him to participate and thusinspiring the idea.
Within 10 minutes of announcing thechallenge, that Fildebrandt and Jean
would run in the 12th annual Running With the Bulls event during the Strath-more Stampede if $5,000 are raised,over $3,500 quickly accumulated. Sincethen, the grassroots members have sur-passed their $5,000 goal in what theycalled a creative way to raise funds.
“I think I realized, that eventuallysteak wants to eat human from time totime,” said Fildebrandt. “I got a smallgrazing but otherwise pretty fine, but I
was behind some of the worst injuries,luckily behind not in front. It’s not myfirst rodeo but it was certainly not theusual duties of an MLA, but it was also
Wildrose challenges bulls for Foothills campaigna great way to promote the Strathmore
Stampede in what is a pretty uniqueevent.” According to Fildebrandt the event
garnered more attention and tractionin the government since the announce-ment, and even received donationsfrom politicians in northern Alberta.
Jean, whose father was a rancher, calledthe experience exhilarating and is ea-ger to repeat the experience.
“There’s nothing more importantthan coming together with a commu-nity of strong supporters and an eventthat’s so incredible,” Jean said. “This is agreat Alberta event and we’re proud to
be a part of Alberta.”Inspired by the famed event in Pam-
plona, Spain, where a number of bulls
run through the town streets, the con-test has played a predominant role inthe Strathmore Stampede since 2003. Just over 120 participants over the
weekend – some dressed in costumes– confronted the brawny bulls as two
victorious winners took home $1,000.“It was stupid but it was a blast,” said
Matt Hillhouse, who won Saturday’sevent and participated in the Running
With the Bulls for the first time. “I just
got right in there and I didn’t want to
mess around. I figured it’d be a goodchance, even if I didn’t win, it’d be agood time, and it was. I don’t think I’mgoing to sleep for two days.”
Hillhouse’s previous experience withStrathmore was the occasional cup of
Tim Hortons coffee on his way throughthe town, but upon hearing of the eventadvertised on the radio, he decided togive it a try – a decision that resulted inhim taking home the winnings on Aug.1. Then, on the following day, Christian
James also received the lump of money, when he got up close and personal withthe bovines. Unlike Jean, James had noprior experience with the animals.
“I tried to have a lot of fun, and I don’t
know what to say, I just tried to getin its face,” James said. “I don’t knowmuch about animals … and I thoughtit’d be scary. I wanted to do somethingI was afraid of.” While some broken bones and inju-
ries are not keeping many of the par-ticipants away from trying again next
year, Fildebrandt is setting his sightshigher. Next year he is shooting to raise$10,000.

As we age, our skin changes. It gets thinner,
bruises easier and can become quite dry. To slow
down skin aging, sun sensibly, don’t smoke and keep
hydrated.The type of toothbrush you use is not as important
and HOW you use it. Some people prefer the
electric toothbrush because some have a timer that
forces brushing for at least 30 seconds per quadrant.
Others prefer the manual brush which can be ne
if it’s used properly. It’s important to get the brush
close to the gums to remove all the plaque from the
gum line.
When you start on a blood pressure-reducing
pill for the rst time, you may experience light-
headedness, extra urination or fatigue. Don’t stop
taking the drug. Side effects do lessen with time so
stick to it.
Many drug products have moved from “prescription
only” to “over the counter”. It wasn’t that long
ago you could not buy ibuprofen (for pain and
inammation) or ranitidine (for heartburn) without
a prescription. But just because they don’t need
a prescription, you should get some professional
advice before using them. Our pharmacists cansupply that information.
Our pharmacists’ principal role is not “counting
pills” as so many TV stories about pharmacists show.
It’s education. We spend the majority of our day
talking to doctors and nurses and of course, you, our
customers. We enjoy that job. Let our knowledge
increase your knowledge about medications.

Town council is moving ahead with a
traffic signal installation, shortly after aright-in-right-out lane was constructedat an intersection earlier this year mak-ing the roadway more active and wellattended.
Since the construction of the lane atCanal Avenue and Highway 1, whichclosed at the median on Highway 1 atthe Strathmore Motor Products, expec-tations of vehicles making eastboundleft turns from the busy roadway, andsouthbound left turns from WestmountRoad, are on the rise. With a possible solution, council was
asked to consider proceeding with theconstruction of the traffic signal at West-mount Road and Highway 1 as well as aflashing indicator for eastbound traffic,despite the developers to the south ofthe highway unwilling to contribute tothe project. With a price tag of $501,000, a pro-
posal was made to Alberta Transporta-tion for cost sharing of one-third of theproject. Because the development tothe south was deemed as being a sig-nificant beneficiary of the traffic signal,it was originally intended for the devel-opers to also contribute one-third of theportion. Despite the setback, the townis within their budget to consume two-thirds of the costs.
“The initial consideration that we had
was that we would also get a third costfunding from developers,” said GordElenko, director of engineering for the Town of Strathmore. “The project wasincluded into the 2015 capital program. At this time two-thirds of the projectcosts will be paid by the town and thatdoes fall within our existing budget.” The town contracted Allnorth Engi-
neering to design, manage, and ten-der the traffic signals project. Alberta Transportation has also committed toan amount not to exceed $167,000.
Intersection to receive upgrades While tender amounts varied from justover $266,000 to more than $385,000,
council decided to award the project toBlack and McDonald Ltd., the lowest bidder.
“I think this is overdue,” said Council-lor Denise Peterson. “This is somethingthat’s going to save lives and it’s a greatidea. I’m really glad that we’re movingforward with it.”
Council was also made aware thatthe Municipal Government Act preventsthose projects situated on provincialhighways to be included in off-site lev-ies. Therefore, this particular project isnot included in the proposed 2015 off-site levies. While the project was met with ap-
proval by council, Councillor Bob Sobolis relieved changes are finally taking
place at that section of roadway.“It’s an intersection that scares me,”
said Sobol. “Anytime I go through there,I would rather go elsewhere than gothrough that intersection. So I think it’sa great idea, and I’m glad that we ap-parently saved some money with thetender. It doesn’t feel like we savedmoney, but we did.” According to administration, the de-
velopers are required to complete a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) as acondition of development approval by Alberta Transportation.
The expected completion date isscheduled before Oct. 31.

As frustrations regarding the lack of medical equipmentat the Strathmore hospital continued to mushroom over thepast three decades, a new medical clinic is relieving somepressures and filling a considerable need, by re-introducingstate-of-the-art technology back into the community. The Pinnacle Medical Clinic, which recently opened up
in Strathmore and had its ribbon cutting ceremony on July31, is actively recruiting doctors, housing a Peak PulmonaryFunction lab and a Peak Sleep Apnea and Snoring clinic, andis hoping to bring specialists to the town for a day to helpeliminate residents’ costly and burdensome trips to Calgary.
“We lost those services in Strathmore about a decade ago,”said Dr. Rahim Damji, who is a family physician at the newclinic. “There’s not a demand to keep those services hereevery day, but if we can be proactive and organize patientsand ones from other clinics and bring them all together and book a day for a cardiologist, instead of them having to gothere, then we can bring them here.” With the addition of the pulmonary function technology,
the first of its kind in Strathmore, patients are no longerobligated to make their way to the city. The lab is ideal fortesting any lung issues, ranging from asthma to lung cancer, by measuring a patient’s lung volume, diffusion levels, andperforming a Spirometry test.
“It’s really helpful that they can have it done here,” said Amin Thawer, owner of Pinnacle Medical Clinic.
“We have a really good relationship with Calgary Co-op and we’ve opened-up numerous sites in Calgary and we thoughtthis would be an excellent site, knowing that patients need
these medical services. With the help of Dr. Damji, who’s been in Strathmore for many years, it just seemed like a natu-ral partnership.” The addition of the Strathmore location signalled the Pin-
nacle Medical Clinic’s seventh location. Since the facility, which currently contains an overall staff of five, can accom-modate up to four physicians, the prospect of attracting moredoctors to the area is a good sign to some local politicians.
“The Pinnacle Medical is looking to bring more doctorsinto their clinic, and there’s a huge need for more doctors,so this is very, very good,” said Mayor Michael Ell, who waspresent at the ribbon cutting ceremony.
“The more growth we meet, the more we need medicalservices, and this is just one more being added. I’m person-ally pleased to see them here.” The Pinnacle Medical Centre opened its doors at 120 Edge-
field Place at the Co-op location in Strathmore. The clinic iscurrently accepting new patients.

Cooped up in a hospital room with chemother-
apy dripping into his veins was not the childhood Ashley and Eric had envisioned for their two-year-old son Kaiden. Five months ago, during a visitto Montreal, the youngster resembled most otherchildren his age. Kaiden was his energetic, play-ful self, until he suddenly expressed flu-like symp-toms; ones his small body wasn’t able to shake. Without any other indications of the flu accompa-nying his ongoing vomiting, his small deteriorat-ing body caused his parents to take action andrush him to the hospital.
Following a CT scan and MRI, Ashley and Eric were informed that a five-cm-long tumour waspressing on Kaiden’s cerebellum and the likeli-hood was it had spread to his spine.
“It was probably the longest week ever, and that was rock bottom right there,” said Erik Dressler.“At least it was operable and it gave us a chance
and it wasn’t terminal. But at the time we didn’tknow and we thought it was. It’s so rare in kidsunder five, and the chance of him getting it is ri-diculously small.”
Further tests revealed that Kaiden’s brain cancerhad indeed spread to his spine. While doctors be-lieved they removed all of the mass in his brain,the five to eight tumours left in his spine requiredintense chemotherapy treatments, which forcedthe two-year-old to remain in the Alberta Chil-dren’s Hospital for two to three weeks a month. Although the light at the end of the tunnel is near,and Kaiden is done his treatments towards the endof September, Ashley said discussions about possi- ble radiation may be necessary if any of the cancersurvives the treatment. Because of his young age,the couple was told radiation could have serious
consequences –not being able to graduate fromhigh school and never being able to live on hisown - and was not ideal.
“He’s done really well and they say children justhandle it sometimes better than adults, they justkind of go with it,” said Ashley Dressler. “It’s a dif-ferent life than you expected. Now our weeks, in-stead of doing little fun things with his friends, I’mhaving to go to the hospital three times a week.”
Even though cancer was absent on both sidesof the family, the impact Kaiden’s illness had onthe family, sparked ambitions to raise money andawareness for early detection and research.
During her efforts to raise funds and spread the word about a brain cancer fundraising event she’sorganizing for the family, Kelley Akister, Kaiden’sgreat aunt, was met with disappointment whenshe received little feedback.
“I’m just trying to get the word out there, andmy husband and I have donated throughout thecommunity and to not get a good response is
kind of breaking my heart; maybe because it’s soclose to home,” said Akister. “I was hoping to getmore support from the Strathmore people and Iknow times are tough right now, but they can’t betougher than that. But I’ll keep going. I’m going toLangdon and the rest of Strathmore.”
Friends and family members are pitching in tohelp meet the $100,000 goal, and Akister has al-ready received help through donations for the si-lent auction in the form of baskets, quilts, shirts,and hockey tickets. While her hope is for some of the contributions
to help out the family, Eric seemed adamant formost of money to be donated to the Brain TumourFoundation of Canada.
“Before this happened I’ve never been this closeto it, and you always think of cancer as this thing
that doesn’t really affect you,… but for it to hap-pen to you, you look at it differently,” said Eric.“No matter what, this is now a part of us now.
This will always affect us, so we’re always goingto be involved in raising money and awareness.” The silent auction will be held at the Cheadle
Hall on Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. For more informationon how to get involved contact Kelley Akister at403-934-7408.

Every day men and women in the emergencyservices protect and serve the community.
One member of the public, Chris Morgan, wantsto give something back to them by celebrating the job they do and the people behind the uniforms.
Morgan wants to break the notion that thesepeople are not part of the community when infact they are and their job is a vital one.
“Every time you call one of them out it’s be-cause something bad has happened,” said Morgan.“I want the public to know that they are peopletoo. It is for them to say ‘you know we are peopletoo, we have a job to do and we do it.’”
Morgan wants to celebrate the people behindemergency services such as the Strathmore RCMP,
the peace officers, the fire services, ambulanceand EMTs, Stars and Hawks.
He has spoken with these groups to see howthey like the idea of a party and so far he has got-ten positive feedback.
M&M Meats have offered to do a BBQ and therehave been talks with Stars to do a low-level flyover. Members of the public are invited to takepart in a Q&A session with some of the servicemembers.
Morgan meet with town council to discuss apossible date and place for the celebration. He isaiming to have it at Kinsmen Park or the Strath-more Civic Centre at the end of August before theschools start up again or the middle of September.
He also wants members of the public who have been helped by any of these services to write a let-ter to them to present it to the services on the day.
Celebrating our emergency services

The Town of Strathmore and the WheatlandKings Junior B Hockey team came to an under-standing on July 8, by introducing a blended ratefor the Wheatland Kings – a permanent rate that
will prove beneficial for all young adult competi-tive teams.
The Wheatland Kings addressed the issue of a blended rate with council last July, in hopes ofcheaper ice rental fees, which in turn provide achance for the team’s revival. Without a blended rate already in place – an ac-
tion that requires specific processes – town councilagreed to allow the team to be charged the youthrate for one year and thus provide them with aleg up. While the decision proved beneficial to theplayers, aged 17 to 24, town council’s revenuestook a hit of a couple thousand dollars. With the2014-2015 season in the past, council was askedto consider a blended rate going forward to please
both parties.“When we started to think about what we’re
going to do this year, the blended rate came upthroughout the year in talking with minor hockeyand the Wheatland Kings, and I think it’s a great
solution because they don’t really fit either catego-ry,” said Tracy Simpson, community services coor-dinator for the Town of Strathmore.
“They’re not youths and they’re not adults, and we want to make sure that the programs is suc-cessful and these players can afford to play thislevel of hockey at their age. But we also want tomake sure that we’re still being financially prudentto the facility and the taxpayers.”
The blended rate of $157.50 for prime time issandwiched in between the adult rates of $186.95and youth rate of $128.40. The non prime timerate for all three categories remains constant at$116.20. Although the Wheatland Kings will be charged
a substantially lower fee than at an adult rate, theteam will be paying $5,000 more than last year.
“They gave us the youth rate, which is the same
as what the minor hockey teams paid, to give usa hand up at the kick off year,” said WheatlandKings president Mike Langen.
“Obviously it’s going to be quite a bit more cost-ly for our team but we’re ok with that. That’s kindof where we are, in that difference between minorhockey and adult pick-up hockey. I’m really happy
with council’s decision and their support for us. We were worried that it was going to be a fulladult rate and then that would’ve put some seriousdampers on the season.” The roster is made up of 25 athletes that are ei-
ther busy working or attending post-secondary ed-ucation. The Strathmore Minor Hockey Associationand the Strathmore Wheatland Kings Jr. Hockey
Association struck an agreement in early 2014, torevive the Junior B team for the 2014-2015 season.
“I find this to be a fairly ingenious way of deal-
ing with this issue and I appreciate the direction you have gone, so I totally support this,” saidCouncillor Bob Sobol to administration at the reg-ular council meeting on July 8 when the issue was
brought before council.Council gave third and final reading to the Fees
Bylaw Amendment Bylaw to allow for the blendedrate to take effect. Councillor Pat Fule and Council-lor Brad Walls were not in attendance.

KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., CROWFOOT
Parliamentary Report
As your Member of Parliament, I have always been glad to work closely with the seniors’ com-munity all across our large riding. The Governmentof Canada has developed a considerable amount ofprograms and services that are aimed at improvingthe lives of Canadians. As your MP, I work to ensure that all corners of
our riding are informed about and have access toopportunities that support our senior population. Iam pleased to report that we have very caring andcapable community leaders in our senior ranks andeveryone always responds to alerts from me con-cerning applications for programs, new initiativesand more.
Over the years, especially in our less populatedregions, we see the importance of projects that
benefit seniors in our Crowfoot riding, the NewHorizons for Seniors Program for example. Manyof you will recall the numerous announcementsthat our government has made as federal support
has helped build, upgrade, refurbish or add to fa-cilities that serve our local senior citizens.
Reducing the social isolation of Canada’s seniorcitizens is a major goal of the federal government’sefforts. Health and Social Transfers to the provinc-es pay for many services and support, but there ismuch more that the federal government does. Whenever I have had the opportunity to team
up with local officials and seniors groups, I havealways found and appreciated innovative partners.
Their diverse knowledge base, resources and col-lective experiences help us explore new and mean-ingful ways we can keep seniors active, engagedand informed. Our Government recognizes the
valuable contribution seniors have made to our so-ciety and the economy. We are acting to ensure thatseniors maintain quality of life and continue to beactive members of their communities.
In our area of Alberta, you can dial 2-1-1 on yourphone for information about government and lo-cal community programs and services. This line isavailable 24 hours a day and is a great exampleof how community partners work together as it issponsored by the United Way Centraide and others.
1 800 O-Canada (1-800-622-6232) is anotherhandy contact point for seniors or www.seniors.gc.ca. Service Canada centers have informationavailable about Government of Canada programsand services, including Old Age Security and theCanada Pension Plan.
Our Government has provided Canadians withclose to $76 billion this year through Canada’s pub-lic pension system. We provided a top up to theGuaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) in 2011 tohelp Canada’s most vulnerable seniors. This wasthe largest increase in 25 years to the GIS for thelowest-income seniors. This measure further im-proves the financial security and well-being ofmore than 680,000 seniors across Canada. We are working hard to address elder abuse with
awareness campaigns. Projects funded by the New
Horizons for Seniors Program raise awareness ofelder abuse and legislation helps ensure consis-tently tough penalties for offences involving theabuse of elderly people.
Finally, everyone is welcome to contact my officefor help accessing programs and services for ourretirees or assistance for families to access help tocare for their family’s older members.

The change-up in schedule resulted in the larg-est crowd for the chuckwagon finals and a largeswarm of spectators for the rodeo finals. The society attributes some of the turnout to
the reallocation of advertising dollars that werespent on various radio stations. One such radioadvertisement attracted an individual to run withthe bulls; he then ended up taking home the$1,000 prize.
“It’s part of our identity as a town, a district,and a community,” said Herb McLane, generalmanager for the Strathmore and District Agricul-
tural Society. “The rodeo is a big part of Strath-more’s history, therefore its legacy, and judging by the crowd a lot of people still love the rodeo. Whether it’s the rodeo, the wagons, the running with the bulls, or a combination between live-stock and man, I think it says a lot of the fabricof our community and the values we hold dear.”
Even though a midway was not securable, thesociety focused their attention on providing fam-ilies, teenagers, and adults with enough attrac-tions to keep one occupied. The society received feedback, specifically
regarding the Heritage Wine Cellar, which was
presented by the Co-op. However, for Chairmanof the Strathmore Pro Rodeo Committee, PascalDel Guercio, who’s been involved in the eventfor years, the Strathmore Stampede remains un-predictable.
“Some years just go better, because there aresome match ups between the livestock and thecowboys, and we had some awesome horsesand great bull riders, bronc riders, and barebackriders,” Del Guercio said. “There were no inci-dents in any of the chuckwagon races, none inthe livestock with the rodeo, and we’ve had along record where we’ve never had a problem. At the end of the day, all I can say is I’m really
happy, everyone was safe, everyone had a goodtime, and a lot of money was won by some of thecowboys.” According to Del Guercio, the four-day-long
event awarded contestants with a total sum ofapproximately $350,000. While the society deals with numerous other
events throughout the year, the team will alreadystart planning for next year’s signature event.
“It was one of the best weekends we’ve everhad,” said Walls. “We’ve had very few incidentson the park, and we are looking forward to a big-ger and better next year.”
Thousands of people flockedto the Strathmore Stampedethis year, which featured nu-merous concerts, much en-tertainment, and dispersedover $350,000 in prize mon-ey to contestants. This yearthe events also introduced aDachshund race and a rock‘n roll concert.

Town council tasked ad-ministration to review the
Taxi Bylaw, after concernsfrom numerous citizens al-leged the industry of turning
a blind eye to the bylaw’s reg-ulations and raised red flagsamong councillors regardinghealth and safety.
Councillor Bob Sobol ad-dressed the issue on July 22,resulting in a motion for ad-ministration to review bylaw08-25 in a revised motion per-taining to the licencing regu-lation and control of the taxiindustry, and bring it back tocouncil for consideration.
“I reviewed the bylaw andI must admit it does containa number of rules and regula-tions, which are designed toprovide our citizens and visi-
tors with an acceptable levelof service in the taxi indus-try,” said Councillor Bob So-
bol.“Regrettably I’ve had many
experiences passed on to mefrom our citizens, which sug-gest that a number of theserules and regulations are be-ing ignored. Without goinginto great detail, it’s fair tosay that some action is need-ed which will be designed toraise the level of service ofour taxi service in the imme-diate future.”
Sobol also requested the
appointment of a chief taxiinspector in order to provideconsistency to the industryand allow for complaints to
be heard. According to theMunicipal Government Act,council is able to pass bylawsunder the safety, health, and
welfare of people and prop-erty, transportation and trans-portation systems, and busi-ness, business activity andpersons engaged in business.
The act furthermore recog-nizes that council by bylawmay establish committees andother bodies.
“There are different ways
to regulate the issue fromtaxi commissions to peace of-
ficers to administrators,” saidSobol. “Personally, I feel thatappointing one individual tooversee this area would be a
benefit to all.”He also referred to wheel-
chair accessibility, which islacking in Strathmore, and
his desire for its implementa-tion - an opinion shared byother councillors. “Sitting onthe Seniors’ Advisory Com-mittee, I have to echo Coun-cillor Sobol’s concerns, anddefinitely the one with re-gards to wheelchairs,” saidCouncillor Denise Peterson.“That’s the one that they’vemade council aware of andalso issues related to safety.I know that when I say this,I can say it on behalf of thecommittee, this is somethingthat they’ll welcome.”
Chief Administrative Of-ficer Dwight Stanford, said
administration is alreadytalking with other communi-ties, including Airdrie, abouttheir bylaws, with intentionsof making the ones in Strath-more tougher. He also statedthat currently only peace of-ficers are able to write certaintickets, which he hopes could
be changed in the future toinclude bylaw officers. How-ever, he agreed with councilthat complaints regarding thetaxi industry have been pilingup. While the emphasis was
placed on wheelchair acces-sibility and the aging popula-tion, Councillor Pat Fule wasmore worried about his stu-dents.
“Being a teacher at Strath-more High School, we havea lot of students who use thetaxi services,” said Fule. “So
you have minors riding these vehicles, and so I think safe-ty and health and quality ofservice is a huge thing as faras the young people are con-cerned too.” With Mayor Ell absent from
the July 22 council meeting,council voted to task admin-istration with reviewing and
revising the Taxi Bylaw to be brought back before council.

When John Moerschbacher moved toRosebud in 2012, bringing years of bee-keeping experience, he began sharinghis knowledge with others. By the sum-mer of 2013, about a dozen beekeepers
were keeping hives around Rosebud. Two of them were friends Jordan Cut-
bill and Kelsey Krogman, who startedthree hives in 2012, learning from Moer-schbacher step-by-step. When they install a new hive, Krog-
man explained, they put in the queen,then the other bees on top. They alsoleave honey for bees to eat until theygather pollen and nectar. The hive’s firstgoal is to make more bees.
“You need lots of population to collectall the nectar and pollen, and then toget the bees through the winter becausethey need each other to stay warm,” shesaid. The bees’ second goal is to produce
honey. Beekeepers won’t harvest untilthe bees have enough for themselves.
When honey stops flowing in fall, bee-keepers winterize the hives.“That means wrapping them closely,
Rosebud beekeepers persevere despite setbacks

John Moerschbacher practices his gentle,chemical-free approach to beekeeping.
making sure they have enough honey toget through the winter, and making surethere’s enough ventilation ... but alsothat they stay warm enough,” said Krog-man. “Over and above taking honey, you
want to have hives that survive year af-ter year.”
Following Moerschbacher’s example,Krogman and Cutbill practice gentle,chemical-free beekeeping.
“I haven’t been stung yet in three years of beekeeping, and I don’t wearequipment,” said Krogman. To handle mites, they sprinkle bees
with icing sugar, which the bees cleanoff, making the mites fall off as well.
“(The mites) fall to the bottom of thehive and they can’t jump back onto the
bees,” she said.In October 2014, Krogman and Cutbill
went to wrap their hives for winter, onlyto find all three hives almost empty. Thefew bees left were dead.
“They had actually frozen to death,”she said. “The bulk of the bee popula-tion was just gone.” They can only speculate, Krogman
said, but the most likely explanationis that a nearby crop, re-flowering inthe unusually warm weather, had beensprayed one afternoon, the time when
bees usually feed. When the weather turned cool, the
hives didn’t have enough bees to keepeach other warm.
Despite the setback, Krogman andCutbill expanded this spring – fromthree hives to 13.
“If it was strictly about (selling) honey, we couldn’t do what we’re doing,” saidKrogman. “We’re just barely able to ex-pand our equipment and our expenses.”
Her primary commitment is more ba-sic.
“I believe, first of all, in the necessity
of pollinators in this world ... and sortof working alongside them,” she said.“That’s really all that we’re doing.” They’re doing a few things differently
after last year’s loss.“The one thing that we’ve added to
our approach is to find a second loca-tion on the other side of the valley,” shesaid. They’re also planning conversations
with local farmers.“We’re here trying to practice (bee-
keeping) and you’re here trying to raisea crop,” she said. “How can we work to-gether?” This year’s dry conditions hampered
the early production of pollen and nec-tar, Krogman said, and they neededto re-queen one hive. But after recentrains, 12 of the new hives are doing welland look like they’ll be well-preparedfor their first Alberta winter.

Wheatland County’s Infrastructure and Trans-portation Services General Manager, DaveChurchill, and his team stumbled across drain-age problems and infrastructure replacementissues following various studies on the culverts
just south of the Golden Hills School Division
project. The concern came up recently, years after the
file was removed from the province’s bridge filelist, when it was considered a non-issue and theCounty did not know the problems existed untilthe studies were conducted.
“The fact that it qualified as a bridge file wasre-discovered while we were reviewing the de-sign of the road and in order to accommodatethe drainage we had our consultant check theflows and design a culvert that will handle thedesign flows,” said Churchill.
On Range Road 222, south of the East Wheat-land School project, the culvert will be installedalong with the reconstruction of the road, and beexpanded from 1.2 metres to 1.6 metres in diam-eter to accommodate a better drainage system.
“That’s what caused the problem on that roadall along with the drainage,” said Churchill.
Churchill does not expect weather conditionsto play a role in the drainage issue, but said if
there were changes in the weather patterns therecould be an impact.
“I would say for the time of year and the typeof year that we’re having, it won’t be an issue,”he said.
“Typically the issue would be in the spring. If we’ve had a really heavy snow fall and the snowall melts at the same time.”
He expects that the new culvert will be herein a month and installation will get underwayshortly after its arrival. The project will cost roughly $175,000.

The 2015 Strathmore Stampede had a lot of tightcompetition in the finals on Aug. 3 as it came down toa matter of seconds or a couple of points to determine
who brought home a big payday and the famous belt buckles.
Team roping duo of Clay Ullery and Kevin Schreinertook home the top prize, claiming $1759 with a timeof 11.4 seconds on a two head.
Ullery said that the Strathmore Stampede was a great week for them and that the momentum and luck wasin their favour.
“We’ve been having a great week and just caughtanother one,” said Ullery. “Strathmore is awesome. Wedon’t get to stay here all weekend, we were at threeother rodeos, but I love coming here and roping for
big money and the crowd is always good.”He felt a little nervous coming in as the steer wasn’t
being directed properly at first but once they settled inthen everything fell into place.
“We were fast in our first one and our steer didn’trun like he was supposed to, that sometimes puts youoff your game,” said Ullery. “But we got by him and it
was all good.”Saddle Bronc Rider, Chuck Schmidt, narrowly won
the rodeo with 87.75 points over the next closest rider,Zeke Thurston, who sat at a close 86.75. The Keldron, S.D. native has been here a few time
before and said the horse gave him a real challenge.“I was expecting the horse to be a little easier but it
ended up working pretty good,” said Schmidt. “Prettyup under him and backing up, moving side-to-side and
just a lot of action, a lot of stuff to try and get through.”He added winning at an excellent rodeo meant a lot
to him as it helps the riders on both sides of the borderin the standings.
Garrett Smith’s first trip to the Strathmore Stampedeis one that he will never forget as he was able to walk
out with $2,030 for winning the bull riding.“The weekend was great,” said Smith. “I ended up
not making the short end in the bulldogging, I was6/10 off of making it, but to make it in the bull riding
was pretty awesome.” The 20-year-old Idahoan added that there were chal-
lenges throughout the weekend but he made adjust-ments when he had to.
“You just got to take it step-by-step, it’s kind of hangon, that’s what I’ve been going by now,” he said.
Strathmore and District Agricultural Society GeneralManager, Herb McLane, thought this year’s Stampede
went was a successful one and he was thrilled with thequality of livestock and riders.
“I think the rodeo was fantastic,” said McLane. “Wemeasure success of course in terms of the crowd, thequality of performances, the quality of livestock com-petition. We had great weather all week and we had
very few turnarounds. I think that indicative of thecalibre of competition at this rodeo.”

Jason Glass and his chuckwagon team came
up victorious for the second year in row at the
Strathmore Stampede. Chuckwagon fans gottreated to some very close races every night of
the Stampede all weekend long.
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
For the second year in a row, JasonGlass and his infamous checkerboardchuckwagon have won the StrathmoreStampede July 31 to Aug. 3.
Glass, along with outriders ChadCosgrave and Chanse Vigen, posted anaggregate time of 4.59.79 to claim thechampionship
“It was great,” said Glass. “It was anup-and-down summer for us. The hors-es have been strong and running really well all summer, but they deserve it.”
It was that time of year where thestock was getting thin and Glass hadto dig deep into the barn to find theright combination with the horses that were available to him.
“It’s near the end of the year and I
went through the whole barn,” saidGlass. “I think there was one horse outof 23 that have never gone this week-end and that’s two horses who’ve nev-er been in a wagon race.”
Glass could not praise the commit-tee any more for a job well done onthe track.
“Everybody put so much work in thesport that anytime you can win one ofthese events, it always feels so good,”
said Glass. “It was a great weekend. The committee did a great job on therace track, it was in real nice shape,the stands were full every night, thecrowd saw great wagon races everynigh
