This year Blackfoot Crossing Histori-
cal Park, BCHP, in Siksika Nation will
be launching the Blackfoot Crossing
Fest, which will feature the fourth an-
nual World Chicken Dance Champion-
ships on June 18.
In previous years it was a two-day
event, which focused on the chicken
dancers; this year its a one-day event
flled with a variety of things everyone
can enjoy.
Recently BCHP was paired with
Mobilized Strategies out of B.C., who
helped with event planning in Whistler
for the Vancouver Olympics, through
the mentorship program with parks
and recreation.
Basically they looked at our mod-
el before, which was heavy on the
competition, and we tried to keep
the building separate, said Beverly
Wright, Director of Business Opera-
tions & Marketing for BCHP.
We werent breaking even, and we
werent getting the draw from neigh-
bouring communities. So we did a little
analysis and what we found is we need
to expand our programming, invite
the communities around us and have
things to do other than the pow wow,
and thats exactly what were doing.
From 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. there will
be events for the whole family to en-
joy.
Blackfoot Crossing Fest will provide
visitors with a full day of Blackfoot cul-
ture and experiences from tours of the
extraordinary museum to food demos,
fashion shows, regalia displays, craft
workshops, storytelling, outdoor tours
and tipi building, said Jack Royal,
BCHP President in a press release.
There will be storytelling, a fashion
show, food and the archaeology site
for the parents, and drum making and
a number of other fun activities for the
kids. All day long people can also sit
and watch the different levels of danc-
ers, with the fnals taking place at 5
p.m.
Tickets are available at the event
and are $10 per person. Children fve-
years-old and under are free.

County Fair looks to bring people together
Shannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
The second annual Calgary Diocesan
County Fair- the Palio will be in Strath-
more on June 18 at the Agricultural So-
ciety grounds.
Its a reason for all in the Roman Cath-
olic Diocese of Calgary and Southern Al-
berta and their families to get together.
Its just to celebrate families, and so its
open to everyone, said Michael Subasic,
one of the organizers of the event.
Subasic said there hadnt really been
an event to get everyone together pre-
viously, so they decided to create one.
The fair is to get people together to have
a fun day with their families without
spending a lot of money.
Its set to be a fun flled, yet relaxing
day. There will be mass with Bishop
Henry starting at 11 a.m., with priests
from different parishes involved.
The kids will have a chance to get
their faces painted and play in some of
the bouncy houses. Parents will have
an opportunity to shop at some of the
many vendors who will be selling every
thing from fruit to art.
The fair will also feature the running
of the horses, which is set to take place
in the afternoon.
The running of the horses is based
on Palio di Siena. Its just a little district
near Siena, Italy, and basically what they
would do is all of the little townships or
regions from within Siena would get to-
gether and put a rider and a horse into a
race and just run for the winning of the
day, said Subasic.
It was basically to win a thing called
the Palio, which was a silk screened
piece of art.
In Strathmore there will be one horse
representing each parish in the diocese,
and the winner of the day will get to
take a banner, which is a picture of the
virgin Mary, back to their parish.
Baseball enthusiasts will also get a
chance to take part in the parish versus
parish ball games.
Really its just a day of fun, to relax
and enjoy the weather, said Subasic.
The gates open at 9:30 a.m. though
Subasic said the real activities and fun
will begin after mass.
Tickets are $10 per adult and $5 for
children and seniors, tickets are avail-
able at the entrance gate. To fnd out

Strathmore resident Kirsten Dunlop formed
a team for the annual Relay for Life, June
6 at the Ag Grounds. Dunlops team raised
$16,790, aided by the generous donation
from Whitecap Resources for $15,000.
Dunlop (middle) joined the Relay for Life in
honour of her grandparents Sonny (left) and
Joan (right).
A few years back i participated in the Re-
lay for Life with my family under the team
Sonnys Soldiers, said Dunlop in her intro-
ductory letter. This was in honour of my
Grandpa Sonny, who is a prostate cancer
survivor. This year i have a different person
that i am fghting for. my Grandma Joan,
(Sonnys wife), has been diagnosed with
acute myeloid leukemia and the doctors
have given her a pretty grim prognosis. She
is unable to undergo any of the currently
available treatments due to her age and i
would like to help raise money for the can-
cer society so in the future there are more
available treatments that can help people
that are over 60. my family and i continue to
pray and be hopeful that she will have many
months ahead, but hope that in the future.

The faithful flled the his-
toric pews of St. Andrews
Anglican Church in Gleichen
to mark the parishs 125th
anniversary on June 12.
Founded by J.W. Tims, who
was sent to the area by the
Church Missionary Society,
the church was built in 1886,
and although it has since
been named a historic site, it
continues to serve the parish
housing weekly services.
Because of the historic
designation, no renovations
are possible on the church,
and so a few feet away, the
congregation members built
a new parish hall which was
dedicated after the anniver-
sary service and the housed
a supper for members and
guests. At the supper, the
contributions of many par-
ish and community mem-
bers were noted in helping
to make the new hall a real-
ityno small feat given the
size of the parish and com-
munity.
Fr. Fergus Tyson, who had
previously served the parish,
preached and presided at
the traditional Anglican wor-
ship service, giving thanks
to God for the ongoing min-
istry of the parish to Glei-
chen and area. Tyson noted
the new parish hall showed
the congregation was look-
ing forward to the future
and ways it could continue
to minister to the communi-
ty, even while they treasured
their history embodied in
the historic church building.
Fr. Eric Haffenden brought
greetings from Bishop Der-
ek Hoskin of the Diocese
Calgary, congratulating the
parish on the occasion, and
St. Andrews celebrates 125 years

dens Linda Holt and Brenda

As we honor the fathers,
grandfathers, stepfathers,
and uncles in our lives, here
are some inspirational and
funny words to live by.
To be a successful father,
theres one absolute rule:
when you have a kid, dont
look at it for the frst two
years.
-- Ernest Hemingway
Never raise your hand to
your kids. It leaves your groin
unprotected.
-- Red Buttons
By the time a man realizes
that maybe his father was
right, he usually has a son
who thinks hes wrong.
-- Charles Wadsworth
Im so ugly, my father
carries around a picture of
the kid who came with his
wallet.
-- Rodney Dangerfeld
Any man can be a father,
but it takes a special person
to be a dad. -- Proverb
When I was a boy of
fourteen, my father was so
ignorant I could hardly stand
to have the old man around.
But when Igot to be twenty-
one, I was astonished at how
much he had learned in seven
years. -- Mark Twain.
A father is always making
his baby into a little woman.
And when she is woman he
turns her back again.
-- Enid Bagnold
One father is more than a
hundred schoolmasters.
-- George Herbert
If the new American father
feels bewildered and even
defeated, let him take comfort
from the fact that whatever
he does in any fathering
situation has a ffty percent
chance of being right.
-- Bill Cosby
A father carries pictures
where his money used to be.
-- Author unknown
Celebrate dad
with humorous
and sincere
Fathers Day
quotations
Senora Louise Smart Dodd was born to William Smart, a Civil
War soldier, and Ellen Victoria Cheek Dodd in 1882. Senora was
the only daughter in a family of six children. When Senora was 16,
her mother died in childbirth with her sixth child. Senora stepped
up to help her father raise all of her siblings in Washington state.
Seeing all that her own father did to keep the family together, and
after hearing a church sermon about Mothers Day, Senora decided
fathers were equally deserving of the honor. She approached
the Spokane Ministerial Alliance and suggested her own fathers
birthday (June 5) as a day to honor fathers. Although her efforts
began in the early 1900s, it wasnt until 1972 under President Richard
Nixon that a permanent observance of Fathers Day on the third
Sunday of June was established. Senora got to see her dream
come to fruition and witnessed four other actual Fathers Day
observances. She died at the age of 96 in 1978.
Did You Know?

On June 8, Investigators with the Strathmore RCMP
General Investigation Section and Strathmore Detachment
arrested and charged a 17-year-old male from Strathmore
with Traffcking a Controlled Substance. The charge is in
relation to an investigation conducted into the death of a
15-year-old male, which occurred on June 3 in Strath-
more.
The investigation has determined the deceased youth
purchased a quantity of pills, believed to be ecstacy, from
the accused shortly before the youth went into medical
distress.
The death of the 15-year-old continues to be investi-
gated by the Strathmore RCMP and the Calgary Medical
Examiners Offce.
VicTim in hoSpiTal afTer ShooTing
On June 10, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the Strath-
more RCMP Detachment received a report of a male be-
ing shot, near the City of Calgary. Police from Strathmore
RCMP, Chestermere RCMP and Calgary Police Service re-
sponded to Garden Road, north of Highway #1. A 22-year-
old male Calgary resident was located outside his vehicle
suffering from a gunshot wound. The male was treated at
the scene by EMS personnel and then transported to a Cal-
gary hospital. The victim is in serious but stable condition.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting are still
under investigation. The Strathmore RCMP request anyone
with information related to this incident contact their offce
at 403-934-3968 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8427.
miSchief charge laid in relaTion To VandaliSm
On June 11, Strathmore RCMP arrested and charged
a 16-year-old male from Strathmore with mischief over

tion regarding multiple complaints of vandalism through-
out the Town of Strathmore. In recent weeks Strathmore
has seen an increase in the number of vandalism occur-
rences in the downtown core. Strathmore RCMP believe
that the 16-year-old male was not acting alone. At this
time the Strathmore RCMP are continuing to investigate.
If anyone has any information about this or any other
criminal offence they are asked to contact the Strathmore
RCMP at 403-934-3968 or through Crime Stoppers at

To high-Speed purSuiT
On June 11, at approximately 5:50 p.m., the Strathmore
RCMP received a report of a home invasion in progress
in the Village of Cheadle, 12 km West of Strathmore. As
members where responding to the area it was determined
the suspects were in possession of frearms and had as-
saulted the homeowners, then fed in a dark colored SUV.
Strathmore RCMP members located the suspect vehicle
at the Highway 24, Highway 1 intersection, and a pursuit
was initiated west bound on Highway 1 towards Calgary.
Speeds during the pursuit reached 200 km/h with the
suspects driving into the ditch several times. The vehicle
entered the Calgary City limits at Stoney Trail when the
pursuing offcers lost sight of the suspect vehicle and the
pursuit was called off.
Two females and two males were in the home when
three suspects wearing masks broke into the home, pro-
duced a frearm, and assaulted a male and a female. Both
have been transported to the Strathmore Hospital and are
in stable condition. During the home invasion the family
dog was shot by one of the suspects and has under gone
surgery in Strathmore. The other two victims fed the home
when they realized the suspects had frearms. The three
suspects fed the scene after taking some items from the
home. Police believe this was not a random attack. The
victims stated they do not know the identity of the sus-
pects. Strathmore RCMP with assistance from the Calgary
RCMP General Investigation Section and the Forensic Iden-
tifcation Section continue to investigate. An RCMP Com-
posite Sketch Artist has worked with witnesses, and two
sketches of the suspects are attached for distribution. Also
attached for distribution is a photo of the suspect vehicle,
believed to be a dark colored Acura MDX, that fed from the
scene and was pursued by police. Anyone with information
about this incident or the suspects involved are asked to
contact Strathmore RCMP at 403 934 3969 or Crime Stop-
pers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

To the Editor
Previously it was shown that with the new potable
water rates the Town will rake in about $50,000 per
billing period ($300,000) per year from residential us-
ers because 11m3 signifcantly underestimated aver-
age (mean) usage.
According to Mayor Steve Grajczyk a special Coun-
cil meeting was necessary because if there was a de-
lay in imposing the new rates, its going to cost the
town an extra $30,000 to $50,000.
However, this was going to be collected, not from
residential users, but according to CAO Dwight Stan-
ford, Its a big increase for businesses who use a
lot of water ... that increase is where the $30,000 to
$50,000 of lost revenue will come from now that the
bylaw has passed.
So, most of this $30,000-$50,000 per billing period
($180,000-$300,000 per year) generated from busi-
nesses is in addition to $300,000 per year from resi-
dential users. The issue here is not that these sums
shouldnt be collected.
The issue is transparency and accountability. These
funds are being collected by misrepresentation. This
total of $480,000-$600,000 per year should be able to
cover up a lot of mismanagement.
Make a guess at the amount the Town has over-
charged on water bills for outdoor watering from May
2004 to Aug 2010. Write it down. See how your esti-
mate compares to mine in a future letter.

Landon Hebbes raised $5,900 for the Al-
berta Childrens Hospital when sold his lamb
Hornet for charity.

Landon Hebbes and his 112
pound lamb Hornet were success-
ful in raising money for the Alberta
Childrens Hospital. His hard work
has paid off as he will be handing
over $5900 to the hospital. At the
West Wheatland Show and Sale,
Landon started off the sheep part
of the sale by telling the audience
about his lamb and his mission to
raise money for his favorite charity.
Landon and his sister Kylee were
very excited to hear the auction-
eer say sold at $25 / lb to Hilto-
na Holdings in Strathmore and to
the kids surprise they donated the
lamb back to be sold again. The
second buyer was TriWest Agro Ltd
of Drumheller and they purchased
the lamb for $26/lb. And yet again
another surprise for Landon was
when he went over to have the
gentlemen from Tri West sign the
buyer slip they informed him that
he could take Hornet home with
him. The buyers had the choice
of what charity they wanted half
of the proceeds to go to and they
both chose Alberta Childrens
hospital. Bumper to Bumper in
Strathmore couldnt make it to the
sale but gave Landon $200 to give
to the hospital. There is talk that
the Hebbes family would like to
take Hornet with them to deliver
the proceeds to the hospital and
maybe they could have a visit with
some of the patients there. Rocky
Ridge Land and Cattle donated the
feed for the lamb and Strathmore
Motor Products supplied the air
time for Landon to advertise his
lamb. It is great to see the mem-
bers giving back to their communi-
ty. Landon said he felt good about
what he had accomplished and is
now excited about taking the mon-
ey to the hospital.

Pieces of history could easily be lost
as veterans begin to pass away if young-
er generations arent taught about the
things that have made the world today
what it is.
One group is working hard to make
sure the horrifc acts against China by
Japan are not forgotten and lost forever.
What its about is to make sure this
part of history is not forgotten, and
thats what theyre trying to do, said
Rob Pirie, social studies teacher at
Strathmore High School.
In the mid 90s a group of volunteers
created the B.C. Association for Learn-
ing and Preserving the History of WWII
in Asia, ALPHA. In 2004/2005 B.C. AL-
PHA began organizing the frst Peace
and Reconciliation Study Tour, which
sends teachers to Asia to learn more
about what took place. In 2008 Ed-
monton ALPHA began by sending two
teachers on the study tour and this year
they are sending fve, including Pirie.
I actually attended a conference
sponsored by them in the fall that dealt
with the whole issue of the so-called
forgotten war, said Pirie.
After attending the conference, which
he found fascinating and moving Pirie
thought it was an excellent opportunity
which he should take advantage of.
He had thought he had missed the
deadline but later found out it had been
extended, allowing him the opportunity
to apply for the 2011 tour. Pirie said he
likes being able to bring that frst-hand
experience back to his students and ex-
plain in detail what it is like there now.
Its a fascinating part of human his-
tory. I cant say its a pleasant part, but
it is a fascinating part. If we dont teach
it, we forget about it. So what this orga-
nization is trying to do is to ensure it is
taught, said Pirie.
The big thing is these atrocities took
place, we should be teaching about
these atrocities, which I argue we do in
this new curriculum. We do have much
more of a global look at the world.
Since 2004, more than six tours with
150 educators have taken place. The
study tour goes to Shanghai, Beijing,
Nanking and Harbin in China as well as
Seoul, South Korea.
ALPHA is trying to infuence the stu-
dents, infuence whats being taught by
taking teachers over there to come back
and tell their story. Pirie said China is
still outraged with Japan because they
have never admitted to what happened,
undermining what took place.
One of the things were supposed
to do is, were supposed to come back,
and my role or my job is to not just
teach my classroombut pass it on to
other teachers and to the community as
a whole, said Pirie.
Before heading on the tour Pirie and
the other participants have also had to
take part in preparatory sessions before
leaving.
The study tour takes place from July
13 to 28, though Pirie will be staying
an extra day to tour the demilitarized
zone, which is a strip of land that runs
across the Korean Peninsula and serves
as a buffer between North and South
Korea.
Pirie is looking forward to the tour in
a sense, but not in the way that it will
be fun. Instead he is looking forward
to learning more about an important
piece of history and being able to bring
the experience back to his students.
Preserving pieces of history for generations to come

The well known love story and mu-
sical, The Phantom of the Opera was
re-created by the Siksika Nation High
School performing arts junior and se-
nior high program, interpreted and told
from a Blackfoot perspective. While the
original Phantom of the Opera focuses
a lot on the singing and music perform-
ing arts elements, the students utilized
dance, movement, and through special
choreography integrated some tradi-
tional dance styles from a First Nation
perspective. The performance was in-
tertwined with various styles of western
dance, which included a Waltz, Modern
interpretive dance, and Ballet.
The cast worked very closely with the
director, choreographer, and stage man-
ager (also the SNHS performing arts
teacher) Miss Andrea Fox through re-
hearsals that occurred both during and
after school hours.
With the intention not to duplicate the

original story, the cast became deeply
involved in how they would change
several parts of the story in order to ex-
press their creative input from a Black-
foot and artistic perspective. They felt it
was necessary for the Phantom to over-
come his loneliness, desire to belong,
and most of all, to be loved; they were
unifed in having The Phantom end up
with Christine, whom he longed for.
First time performer, Lead Blackfoot
Phantom Ty Maguire a Grade 12 stu-

I am coming to realize I have more po-

education at SAIT in the fall in photog-

His counter part, a Grade 10 student
Shayna Leather played Christine. For
Leather it also was a good experience
for her frst time acting. Leather says, I
am more confdent, I learned my part
and worked on being more fuid in the
dancing, I really enjoyed the play.
This story created awareness of some
socio-economic problems faced by
many in this day and age, abuse, de-
pression, and how despite the challeng-
es life may bring to your life, you can
still over come these challenges, and
make your dreams come true.
The cast and crew are very grate-
ful for the support they received from
the SNHS staff and administration. Ms.
Fox and the cast and crew give special
thanks to Kathy Breaker and Roberta
Olds, Marianne Black, Mel Csizmadia,
Denise Low Horn, Sylvia Lopez, Jacque-
line Short, Tyrone Sitting Eagle, Jolyne

The weekend of June 10 and 11, the Holy Cross
Collegiate gym was flled with family and friends
of the ffth class to graduate from the school. The
theme for this years grad was New Beginnings,
Destination Unknown. Grad weekend began
with a Friday evening mass, during which the
graduates presented their parents with a rose
and special letters they had written. Saturday
saw everyone gathering again in the HCC gym
for the graduation ceremony. The afternoon pro-
gram included messages for the graduates from
Christ the Redeemer School Division, the Board
of Trustees, principal Lavern Evans as well as
Paulette Chotowetz, principal of Sacred Heart
Academy who taught some of the students when
they attended SHA in Grade 3. In addition to their
diplomas, the 34 graduates received HCC gifts of
guardian angel visor clips as well as faith brace-
lets made by the Grade 4 classes at SHA. Grad
2011s valedictorian was Megan Crosby, who
gave a beautiful address to her fellow graduates.
The graduation banquet and dance was held at
the Civic Centre, with the evenings guest speak-
er being Michael Annicchiarico, who taught the
students high school Social Studies as well as
coached many on various athletics teams. Holy
Cross Collegiate congratulates the Class of 2011
and wishes them well in their future!

Wheatland County Council
held their regular council meet-
ing on June 7. One of the big
ticket items for the agenda was
road maintenance and recon-
struction to damaged county
roads. For weeks Gerry Van
Ooostwaard, Public Works Su-
perintendant has been trying to
fx roads which were damaged
due to fooding. The amount
of snow and moisture the area
received this winter and spring
have caused poor conditions to
some gravel roads, while others
have washed out completely.
We want people to know it
is on a priority basis. The worst
roads will be taken care of frst
but we are making progress and
will be coming around to fx-
ing and grooming all the roads
as we can run said the Public
Works Department.
Dust Control
Dust control on gravel roads
was also discussed. A motion
was made to test out a new cano-
la based product on the roads
rather than the calcium chloride
based product used in the past.
You dont know unless you
try said the Public Works De-
partment.
This new product is non-cor-
rosive to vehicles and non-haz-
ardous to the environment.
The dust control program will
be continued, and the Lyalta
Road, Range Road 251A will be
added to the program. The new
canola based product will also
be tested at this particular spot.
Lyalta to me is a good spot
said Alice Booth, Councillor of
Division one.
Changes to finanCial
statements
A new way of providing fnan-
cial statements will be put into
place for community Fire Asso-
ciations. The new way of provid-
ing the statements is the same
for all non-proft organizations,
and is a way of providing infor-
mation in an orderly fashion to
Revenue Canada, while showing
citizens how the public money is
being spent.
The County wanted to stress
the fact that these associations,
such as the Rockyford fre de-
partment, will not be taken over
by the County.
We are quite proud of our as-
sociations said Glenn Koester,
Deputy Reeve and Councillor of
Division two.
animal Care Donations
The County pound is trying to
fnd a new supplier of old blan-
kets and towels. Previously a
supplier out of Calgary was pro-
viding the blankets.
We just feel that the animals
should have something to lay
on when theyre in there, and
we came to the conclusion that
were running out said the Pro-
tective Services Department.
They are currently be seeking
a new supplier or donations.
emergenCy
response time
Council held a discussion re-
garding which emergency ve-
hicles are the frst to arrive to
a scene when the call is made.
One concern was the ambulance
arriving before the fre truck,
and the possibility of the EMTs
being put in a dangerous situa-
tion.
The dispatch system needs to
possibly be looked at said Ger-
ald Skibinsky, Manager of Pro-
tective Services.
Disaster relief
The disaster relief application
which was sent in earlier this
year has been approved, and has
taken into account information
from citizens who were hit hard
from spring fooding. The Alber-
ta Government is committed to
providing grant money in order
to help these citizens who took
such a hard hit.
This was the frst time that
the province has come back and
approved so many applications
said Skibinsky.
County roads in need of repair
after harsh winter
Support the Cause Day is a 5 km walk from the employees of Western
Financial and marlin Travel in Strathmore to raise money for defbrillators in
every community they represent. They also support a bursary of $500 to a
deserving high school student in the area that is nominated by members of
the community. Fourteen employees and the two managers (Glen & Sher-
rie Reiter from Western Financial, and mathilda Barrett from marlin Travel)
participated in the event.

Springtime concert
Sacred Heart Academy held their annual
Spring Concert on June 8 at the school. The
theme this year was very unique and even in-
teractive with the audience. each class from
kindergarten to Grade 6 represented a coun-
try from around the world and expressed the
importance of music and religion in their lives.

traditional Ukrainian dance. The other grades
covered countries from China to ireland to
mexico.

Original Joes now offcially open
Shannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
The much-anticipated opening of
Strathmores newest restaurant and pub
took place on June 14, when Original
Joes opened their doors. The new estab-
lishment is located next door to M&M
Meat Shops at #8, 100 ranch market.
What we are basically is, a restaurant
quality menu in a comfortable pub-style
atmosphere, so thats why we kind of
call ourselves a restaurant and bar, said
Todd Hill Area Manager for Southern Al-
berta.
Its kind of misleading in some ways,
in that people think we are a family res-
taurant as well. Were actually a no mi-
nors establishment.
The reason for this is because thats
where the hole in the market was, said
Hill. He said there are plenty of places
for families but not really anywhere for
people to have the pub atmosphere with
a great menu.
Most of the food is made from scratch,
and Hill said they are prep-heavy and
prefer to make the food onsite instead of
having pre-processed foods brought in.
Another thing Original Joes offers is
good portion sizes, giving people their
moneys worth. Hill said they also sup-
port a lot of local breweries on tap and
have a number of locally crafted micro
brews available.
People have been coming up to us
while weve been doing construction,
and training. People are ready for an-
other restaurant in Strathmore, I think,
said Hill.
Theres been a lot of talk about how
its been the same players here for a long
time so people are looking for some-
thing new.
Original Joes will be open from 11
a.m. to 2 a.m. as long as they have the
crowd to warrant staying open that late.
The kitchen is open until midnight Sun-
day to Thursday and until 1 a.m. on Fri-
day and Saturdays.
Staff were
ready to greet
their guests on
June 14 when

newest restau-
rant Original

Though the rodeo itself is
enough to draw in people for
Heritage Days, whats a fair
without a good midway? This
year Heritage Days goers will
have a chance to ride some of
their favourite rides, and play
some of their favourite games
without having to drive to
Calgary for the Stampede.
Midways are a huge
attraction in the fair industry
and it was my personal mission
to bring a reputable midway
to our Stampede. Luckily
Canuck Amusements out of
Manitoba was available for our
weekend, said Darcy Ledene,
general manager for the Ag.
Society
They will supply, and operate
an amazing 17 rides and
games to our event, in essence
bringing our show to the next
level when it comes to a fun
flled family event.
Canuck Amusements is a third
generation family run business,
which began in 1970 with three
homemade rides and two
concession stands.
The show travels from the
end of April until October, going
to small towns all over Canada
from New Liskeard, Ontario to
the Yukon, NWT.
The midway will be open from
noon until approximately 11 p.m.
everyday, and boasts games
and fun for the whole family.
Some of the rides coming out
for Heritage Days include the
Zipper, the Ferris Wheel, the
Space sled, Star trooper, Tilt-
a-whirl, Raiders, and a number
of rides for the younger kids.
There will also be a variety of
games including Shoot out the
stars, Balloon races, Basketball,
and Star darts.
Heritage Days is only weeks
away and passes are already
on sale at Sobeys, and for $25
people gain entrance to the
grounds and unlimited rides for
the day.

If the people who rely on the Bow River and its
tributaries for water want to ensure everyone has
enough water well into the future, the river sys-
tem needs a completely different and cooperative
management regime.
This is the major fnding of The Bow River Proj-
ect initiated by the Alberta Water Research Insti-
tute in May 2010 and involving almost all the ma-
jor water users of the system.
Mike Kelly, Bow River Basin Council (BRBC)
Chair, took part in the project and explains that
each major river water user manages its use of the
river by focusing on its needs, responsibilities and
applicable regulations.
The Bow River Project shows that if the various
water users cooperate to manage the river system,
the river could gain water supply, recreational op-
portunities and environmental health.
A large part of any new management system re-
quires asking TransAlta to change when it releases
water from its mountain reservoirs.
Theres going to be a certain cost to Trans Alta.
Its not insignifcant to the company, but quite
small in comparison to many of the public and
private benefts that could be created. For exam-
ple, it was certainly the view of the people in the
room that the alternative cost of having TransAlta
manage the reservoirs differently is less costly
than trying to build new reservoirs, Kelly says.
The people in the room Kelly refers to include
representatives from the Alberta Water Research
Institute, WaterSmart, BRBC, the City of Calgary,
the Calgary Regional Partnership, County of New-
ell, Rocky View County, the three big Bow River
irrigation districts, Ducks Unlimited, Trout Unlim-
ited, Agriculture & Rural Development, Tourism
and Parks, Sustainable Resource Development
and Alberta Environment.

After the tragic death
of Jonathon Herrmann
many Strathmore residents
are trying to get over the
shock, and others have be-
gun to fght to re-open the
youth centre.
One Strathmore youth
decided to do his part by
auctioning off an abstract
painting he had done pre-
viously to raise funds for
the centre.
Twelve-year-old Jacob
Klauck overheard his mom
Lori discussing a mural
spray-painted at the skate
park during Herrmanns
memorial, and the youth
centre being closed. Jacob
decided he wanted to help
out, and had the idea of
auctioning off one of his
paintings.
I just thought it was sad
how a boy died, and he was
good friend of my brother.
I just felt like I wanted to
do something, said Jacob.
It was all his idea, I was
pretty proud of him. His
older brother plays foot-
ball and played with Jon so
there was a bit of a connec-
tion that way as well, we
knew Jon, said Lori.
Its just a sad unfortu-
nate thing that happened,
and I think that this town
has learned a lot from it.
I think that families are
now talking about drugs
a little more openly, and
what can happen. A lot of
lives can be saved just from
this life lesson that hap-
pened right here in our
own town.
Lori posted a photo of
the painting on Facebook
and auctioned it off to raise
funds to help re-open the
youth centre. The auction
ran until June 10, and Ja-
cob was able to raise $100
through the auction. It was
the frst time Jacob has ever
raised money through his
art, and said it is something
he would like to do again
to help if needed.

A night of laughs and farewells
ian maSt
Gleichen Community Development Council
This community has always felt like home ,
a statement such as that says a lot about both the
individual and the community. Saturday night at
the Gleichen Community Centre, it carried extra
weight when those words were spoken by outgo-
ing Staff Sergeant Robert Golan, given the nomad-
ic lifestyle a member of the RCMP can encounter
throughout their career.
A terrifc turnout saw residents of both Gleichen
and Siksika come out to say goodbye to the long
standing detachment head and his family as they
make their move to Creston, B.C. Presentations
and speeches were made by members of Siksika
Justice, Siksika Health Board, Siksika Emergen-
cy Services, Gleichen Community Development
Council and Wheatland County to both Bob and
wife Mary.
Tom Littlechild of Siksika Emergency Services
delivered the ultimate compliment to Staff Sgt.
Golan and his impact on both communities with
a single statement You hardly know where the
tracks are anymore a testament to the work
done by the RCMP to break down the barriers be-
tween our communities.
Bobs second in command, Bob Campbell, de-
livered a humorous farewell to his outgoing boss
while revealing the deep undercover work the
two performed most Saturday mornings at Gra-
ham Auctions.
A big thank you to all those who attended and
brought enough food to ensure no one went home
hungry Saturday night. A special thanks going out
to organizer Connie Webb, Ian Bagwell, Ian and
Eva Mast, Ron and Trina McCanna of the Gleichen
Community Development Council, Alice Booth
and Doris Lindeman of the Gleichen Community
Association, and Gina Smith for all the work they
did in making this night possible.
Good luck Bob and Mary, and thank you again
for all youve done for our community.
CORRECTION: The next meeting for the Glei-
chen Community Development Council will be
held Monday, June 20, not the 13th as previously
listed. The meeting will be held at the Community
Centre starting at 7 p.m.
hydrological management model developed by
Hydrologics from Baltimore, Maryland. The model
allows for the inclusion of economic and environ-
mental values or issues. With the cooperation of
many organizations and government departments,
the Bow River Project loaded up 67 consecutive
years of southern Alberta data.
What you can do is sit around a table with a
group of very knowledgeable Bow Basin water
managers and say what if we did X or what if we
did Y. The model will show you the results on all
of the rest of the system. We really wanted this in-
teractive model to determine how we can manage
the river differently and what the consequences
would be of doing so. Because like all systems,
when you push on one area of the Bow River sys-
tem something else will pop up in another area,
says Kelly. One of our goals was to reduce or
eliminate unintended consequences. He adds
that, we need to look at this more but it certainly
looks like this could be a much less expensive
option in terms of providing water for the basins
projected population growth, recreational use and
water demand.

Healing and Reconciliation: Siksika
Jenna Campbell
Times Jr Reporter
Siksika Nation celebrated
the National Day of Heal-
ing and Reconciliation on
June 11, a celebration that
is anticipated to become
a yearly event. The days
signifcance was to begin
a recovery process to over-
come the brutalities that
members of the Siksika Na-
tion have endured while
attending past residential
schools.
The days events started
at 10 a.m. at the Old Sun
College, from where mem-
bers of the nation walked,
ran and biked to the Sik-
sika Powwow Arbour to
continue events until to 6
p.m. The opening ceremo-
nies included a prayer fol-
lowed by the youth runners
who performed an opening
dance, followed by speech-
es from individuals who in-
troduced and spoke about
the meaning of the event,
including Donnie Yellow
Fly, who has frst person-
ally experienced many of
the hardships of attending
the residential schools.
Beginning at a residential
school at the age of 5 and
continuing on for a total
13 years, Yellow Fly recol-
lects his experiences, stat-
ing that the bad memories
stand out to be the most
prominent.
The policies at that time
were to civilize and to
Christianize us, said Yel-
low Fly. It wasnt so much
the religion itself that was
responsible for the brutali-
ties; it was more the people
who were waving the reli-
gious fags.
In an attempt to civilize
those attending the resi-
dential schools, Yellow Fly
emphasizes that their poli-
cies were enforced through
physical and, unfortunately
in some cases, sexual abuse.
Yellow Fly states that phys-
ical abuse was mostly what
he had encountered. The
schools weekly pay days
still stand out in his mind.
They used to take some
of the older members of
our school to document
throughout the week how
many times they caught us
speaking our language, he
said. They would gather
us, and would take girls on
one side and boys on the
other, and would call out
our names; who was go-
ing to get whipped on the
buttocks. You would liter-
ally have to pull your pants
down in front of every-
body; consider the humilia-
tion of that experience.
Yellow Fly remembers
the thought of, Im not go-
ing to cry, Im not going
to cry, because he did not
want to let them beat him
at the game so to speak.
He believes the suppres-
sion of emotion was what
contributed to the eventual
psychological damages and
emerging addictions which
he personally acquired, as
did many other residential
students.
Consequential to his drug
and alcohol addictions,
which were his biggest
sources of comfort, Yellow
Fly was sent to prison for
several years, and recalls
that experience to be life-
saving. He states that if he
had not gone to prison, he
currently would be buried
six feet under the ground.
After his release, Yellow
Fly became an addictions
counsellor and is currently
working for the land claims
department.
I have moved on. Be-
cause of my experiences,
Im embracing the healing
journey, he said. I know
our history, Ive experi-
enced our history and the
need for this healing to be-
gin. I think it will not only
beneft the populace here,
but our interactions with
the broader society.
To symbolically begin
the healing process, a tree
planting ceremony took
place where four trees
were to be planted in the
four corners of the Arbour.
Chief Fred Rabbit Carrier
states that the trees are
signifcant because they
begin as a small seed and
take many years to grow,
like the healing journey. He
laughs that the trees will
also beautify the area be-
cause, there are no trees!
In letting go of the past, a
balloon releasing ceremony
took place as well, along
with a Candle Light Memo-
rial, and the closing activ-
ity of the Round dance,
a friendship and healing
dance which put a close to
the days events.
Chief Fred Rabbit Carrier
emphasizes that the days
games and events would
not have been possible if
it were not for the many
helping hands of the volun-
teers, with a special thank
you to Marsha Wolf Collar
for spearheading the event.

People with fresh
tattoos have had
chemicals injected into
their skin that can make the local
area very sensitive to UV exposure
while the tattoo is still healing. So
absolutely dont allow that area to
tan. Either cover it up completely,
if possible, or dont tan at all until
the skin has healed. After the skin
has healed, do continue moderate
protective measures. At this point
the chemicals have lost their
photosensitivity. The tattoo, though,
will begin to lose its brilliancy with
exposure to UV, whether that UV
comes form indoors or outdoors. So
preserve those tattoos by
using a tattoo stick or a
good sunscreen.

Rain hinders dig but students keep in good spirits
Every week students in-
volved in the archaeological
excavation will be submitting
their own account as to how
things are going. Readers will
have an opportunity to follow
along as they unearth pieces
of history.
Gina Carroll
During the past two weeks,
I have learned to love char-
coal. While this strange af-
fection may be lost on all
but BBQ afcionados, I can
assure you that as an archae-
ology student, your frst real
fnd becomes incredibly dear
to your heart. I spent the frst
few weeks digging through
a more or less sterile unit,
hoping and praying that my
next level would contain
something, anything, other
than nearly invisible charcoal
fecks. Bones, beads, maybe a
crystal skull or twoTHOSE
were the things I so desper-
ately wanted to fnd.
As I dug deeper and deeper
however, I began to see how
charcoal could be just as excit-
ing and informative as other,
more interesting, artifacts,
ecofacts, and features. This
was proven when I opened
my new unit, and discovered
a rather dense, deep char-
coal stain. The location, den-
sity, and depth of the charcoal
stain all tell a storyone that
is waiting to be interpreted
and placed in the grander
scheme of things. While my
charcoal stain is probably not
going to revolutionize the
world of archaeology, it has
certainly revolutionized my
attitude towards all those ar-
tifacts I deemed uninteresting.
Just because you dont fnd
a lost civilization, the missing
link in the evolutionary past
of Homo sapiens sapiens, or
the Rosetta stone of yet in-
decipherable ancient scripts,
doesnt mean you arent do-
ing, and learning something
important.

Week 2:
Once we all got the hang of
excavation techniques and a
better feel for using the trow-
els, everyone was looking
forward to our second week
of excavation. Unfortunately,
with the rain we were unable
to excavate. Instead we used
the time to learn more about the history
of the site as well as excavation tech-
niques and various aspects of archaeol-
ogy that are more valuable now that we
have feld experience.
Week 3:
After a week of being unable to ex-
cavate I was ready to jump in and re-
ally make some headway with my unit.
I opened two new units, bringing my
total to three units for the feld season
so far. The last unit I opened has been
quite exciting with the fnd of a bead,
which is always something interesting.
Anything beyond charcoal, unmodifed
lithics, and small bone fragments gets ev-
eryone excited! This week also involved
intense practice and use of the Total Sta-
tion, which is used to survey and take ac-
curate points of the artifacts found in our
units. The end goal of practicing with the
Total Stations is to be able to set them up
in under fve minutes, which is no small
feat. Trying to level the machine and en-
ter the correct information that quickly
can be diffcult but everyone is getting
the hang of it!

It was a thrilling weekend for the
Strathmore Spartans girls rugby team,
as they hosted the ASAA 2011 Rugby
Provincial Championship June 10-11.
After a team from one of the zones
had to pull out of the competition,
the girls earned a spot in the tourna-
ment as a host team. In fact, the Spar-
tans nearly qualifed for provincials
on their own, losing their zone game
in overtime.
However, once in the tournament,
the girls had a fantastic weekend of
play. The Spartans won the seventh
place game 23-5, after losing their
frst two games to the eventual pro-
vincial champs from Raymond and
the consolation winners from Ross
Sheppard.
According to Spartans head coach
Jerry Flaws, it was defnitely a case of
saving their best game for their last.
They played amazing, said Flaws
of their win over Foothills Compos-
ite. They kind of really saved every-
thing for the end. It was a rival team
and they really stepped up.
To come up to Tier 1 girls - against
the best teams in the province - and to
get a win is a great accomplishment
for our program. It speaks highly to
what our girls can accomplish if we
really get enough people to come out
and play the game.
According to Flaws, the Spartans
move the ball really well to the out-
side and utilize their team speed to
create chances.
The Spartans hosted the tourna-
ment at the Calgary Rugby Union,
where over 30 teams took part in the
tournament, playing on four felds.
FP Walshe won the gold medal
in Tier 2 girls, Banff won the Tier 2
boys, Raymond won the Tier 1 girls
and Medicine Hat won the Tier 1
boys.
The university scouts were out,
the Alberta scouts were out, said
Flaws. They get exposed to some re-
ally good rugby out here.
The Strathmore Spar-
tans girls rugby team,
the host team of the
ASAA 2011 Provincial
Championship, won
their last game of the
season 23-5 over rival

The Alberta High School Rodeo As-
sociation, AHSRA, fnals were held in
Ponoka from June 10 to 12, and three
teens from the Strathmore and District
High School Rodeo Club had a chance
to participate.
Lance Dowler and Blake Williamson
made it in tie down roping category
and Shane Krywcun made it in steer
wrestling.
It was good, (Im) pretty proud of
the kids. They did well, they tried hard,
and it worked out very well for Shane.
He had a very good weekend, said
Dan Dowler of the Strathmore and Dis-
trict High School Rodeo Association.
Krywcun, 17, was able to get his steer
down all three days of fnals, which
showed consistency and kept his score
high enough to advance. He placed
fourth overall in Alberta and will be
moving on to the National High School
Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyoming.
When youre able to fnish within
the top four in the province, and get
the opportunity to head south to com-
pete at that level, thats a very, very
successful achievement for sure, said
Dowler.
Anytime the kids can do as well as
they have in here its something to be
proud of.
Though Lance and Williamson wont
be heading to Gillette with Krywcun,
they both had a good weekend. De-
spite the stiff competition in the tie
down roping Williamson placed 25th
overall and Lance placed 30th.
I was pretty proud of them, they
tried hard, they had a couple of catches
each, and it looked really solid. This
was Blake Williamsons fnal year in
the High School Rodeo, his goal that
he set out for himself at the beginning
of the year was to make it into fnals
and he achieved that, said Dowler.
Were happy for him, he worked
hard at it and he did a great job, so it
was good to see.
Dowler said he is sure many of the
kids will continue honing their rodeo
skills by joining clubs whose season
may just be beginning. Next year the
Strathmore and District High School
Rodeo Association is hoping to host
two rodeos after having to cancel the
High School Rodeo, which had been
scheduled for the May long weekend.
Dowler said they are waiting to hear
back from the Alberta High School
Rodeo Association, to fnd out which
dates will work.

Spartans end season on high note
Bantam C Venom building their winning ways
Mark Gron & anGela rikstad
Strathmore Bantam C Venom
The Strathmore Bantam C Venom
lacrosse team is gearing up for a run
in the playoffs. The team currently sits
third in the standings, but have played
less games then other teams. After two
hard fought ties against the Rockyview
Rage, the boys got back on the win-
ning track with impressive victories
over the Hornets and High River.
In the frst game, Kaleb Robinson
and Jon Biccum led the offense with
multiple goals, while Austin Drum-
mond and Ethan Gallant scored im-
pressive markers as well. Ethan Riks-
tad, Blake Wenstrom and Tyler Boyd
played strong, physical games, opening
up scoring lanes and punishing Hornet
players. Nathan Rikstad earned his frst
point of the year, setting up Robinson
for a highlight reel goal. Jayden Jones
earned A honors for his strong play
over the last few games.
The second game of the week against
High River was a battle for third place.
The team and its fans hoped to gain an
edge by enjoying a tailgate party with
coaches and parents, who have come
together to show their support for the
team.
The team fell behind early against a
fast and determined Heat team. Stel-
lar goaltending by Garrett Gatto held
the fort until the offense came alive in
the second half. Kaleb Robinsons four
goals and Carson Grons goal secured
the victory for Strathmore. Gatto, in ad-
dition to great play in the net, also con-
tributed two assists. Ryan Torgrimson
also contributed with a helper. Dustin
Wolfs and Cory Weis played very strong
games defensively with their efforts to
slow down the Heats team speed.
The boys have been doing additional
outdoor practices and have been com-
mitted to working on skills daily. The
results have been amazing. The team
skill level and game play gets better
each and every week. Every game is
a learning experience that builds to
the next level. The Bantam C Venom
team is preparing for some challenging
games ahead, and a chance to move
up again in the standings. We all wish
them luck on the games ahead and
completing the season with celebrating
with the boys at their Windup party
next week.

The Strathmore Ven-
om bantam C lacrosse
team is gearing up for
the playoffs later this
month.
T-ball in Standard has really taken off big. Children ages three to six in Stan-
dard have been playing T-ball this spring every Thursday at the ball dia-
monds. Parent volunteers have been coaching the sport to over 25 children
of the various ages. Sometimes comical but a great way to get kids inter-
ested in the sport and also exercise in general.

a great fnish in Red Deer on the weekend, June 10 to 12.
After 3 round robin games the squad advanced to Sun-
days two playoff games and came home with silver medal.
Semi fnal game had the Thunder up against the Red Deer
Rage in fne played game by both teams. With the score still
deadlocked at 0-0 into the 3rd inning the Thunders Bailee
Rieger started things off with a single then was moved to

off by a Leah Dahm triple put 4 runs on the board and 2
great catches in the outfeld by Hope Tornberg and Brooke

The fnal had the locals taking on Camrose as they defeat-

4 runs in the top of the 7th inning with alert base running
from Jessica Murphy and Kaitlyn Brock followed by a timely
single from Alyssa Lavallee who went 8 for 16 at the plate
on the weekend.. Defense again came up big with 2nd

The Strathmore Renegades, a U12 girls fastball team, has had a great 2011
campaign. The girls began their season in may and have played twice a
week in the Calgary minor Softball league, which includes teams from Cal-
gary, Airdrie and Cochrane. The Renegades also travelled to Red Deer to
play a tournament on the weekend of June 3. They may not have won every
game, but they did play with determination and left the feld with smiles on
their faces. many thanks goes out to their coaches, Guy and Jill, who have
tirelessly devoted many hours to seeing these girls develop their skills in so
many ways. Their season wraps up on the weekend of June 17 when they
take on their competition yet again in the fnals, held in Calgary. Way to go
girls, your fans are super proud of you! The team consists of Camryn Hinz
(l-r, front row), Kiersten Gron, Grace Olson, Kaylin Larson, Payton Vogel,
Taryn Tanton, Daylen Wathen, Camryn Riley and Jenna Smith. The coaches
are Guy Bailie (l-r, back) and Jill Gron.
