Repairs are needed on the Aquatic Centreroo ater it was discovered that a section othe roo had been damaged and needs to bereplaced. Minor repairs were being lookedat on the roo where a couple o protrusionsaround the HVAC/Air conditioning have seensome leaking.
We had secured a contractor to come inand perorm those repairs to buy some timein terms o the inevitable replacement o theroo at some point, said Jesse Parker, direc-tor o engineering and operations or thetown.
Upon looking at the roo with the contrac-tors to fgure out an estimate, a major ailureo the roo on the west side o the Aquatic
Centre was ound.A section on the lower area o the roo,above the washrooms in the Civic Centre andthe mechanical storage room or the AquaticCentre, has been damaged and allen awayrom the building, leaving the insulation andinside o the building exposed to the ele-ments.
Parker said basically water got in and hassaturated the drywall and insulation that wasin that wall.There is some water that has gotten in
beneath the roo, and there is also bowing,warping, o the roo, which indicates waterdamage in other areas as well.
Were not overly happy (with) the actthat this has occurred but this part o ouroriginal section o roo, said Parker.
With the water coming in I think its bestthat we open that up and determine whatthe damage is. This project budget as well asthe estimate rom the contractor representsworst-case scenario, so ull replacement othat roo section.
I we open it up and fnd its not as badas a ull replacement theres some things wecan do to reduce this cost, but we wont havethat inormation until we actually open it upand do a proper assessment o the roo andwhat needs to be replaced.
Parker said he didnt see signifcant dam-age below, so they are anticipating that thedamage has been somewhat held to the onespecifc area.

Communities in Bloom (CIB) is welcoming a new ace athelm this summer. Melody Wilson is the new chair, takingover or Robert Breitwieser.
I have been doing it or seven years and Ithink it was time or new blood to come in andnew ideas and resh ideas. Ive also elt thatI have several other things I have wanted to
become involved in, in the community, saidBreitwieser.
He is still on the committee or CIB, and doesplan to continue moving the Civic Centre/Fam-ily Centre beautication project orward. Breit-
wieser has also recently joined the Strathmoreand District Chamber o Commerce board this
year, and the Strathmore Lions Club.Wilson and her husband have lived in the
area or 15 years. She has a background in hor-ticulture, having graduated rom green housemanagement at Olds College.
I have always been passionate about garden-ing, it started really, really young, I think I grew my rst cropo sunfowers when I was about ve or six, said Wilson.
I think its important or people to appreciate, even i theydont know, the basic workings o how to grow a plant and
why its important to have trees.Wilson eels that people who care or the yards generally
seem to care more or the community they live in. For nowshe is hoping to continue on some o the projects that Breitwi-eser started. She does have a ew ideas or projects she wouldlike to see started soon as well.
I would like to see another community garden maybe withsome mentorship with kids and older people, Ithink thats a great place to start because kidsare usually very eager to learn and theres lotso people that have extra time I think that can
volunteer a ew hours here and there, said Wil-son.
I think doing a tulip blitz this all would be
kind o un as early spring you can see all yourwork right away.
Wilson has been in the chair role or only amonth, and is still trying to ully envision whatshe would like to see done. One thing she hasstarted in her short time with CIB is bringingthem online.
I am in the process o getting Communitiesin Bloom online through social media just to
bring a wider spread o people the inorma-tion on projects were working on. I think its
a really good way to get inormation out quickly and get aresponse back quickly as well, said Wilson.
Communities in Bloom is always looking or volunteers.Anyone wishing to help out can go to the Facebook page,Communities in Bloom Strathmore, or can email Wilson atmelody@peapatch.ca

For some going to college or university can bring with it theear o how bills will get paid, groceries bought and home-
work done. Though homework isnt o the list, Strathmoreteen Jonah Zankl can gladly check o the ears o aordinguniversity ater he was awarded a $60,000 Schulich LeaderScholarship or the University o Calgary.
Its such a pressure relieved, I think thats the biggest thingis it opens so many opportunities to keep giving back in thecommunity, said Zankl.
The best quote I heard through the year was (rom) a thyear engineering student, he was speaking at a dinner I gotinvited to and he said, dont think o it as ree money, think oit as your paycheque or the year so you can volunteer insteado working.
There are 20 universities in Canada that participate in theSchulich scholarship program, and ve in Israel. Every studentselected must keep their grades up, and continue to show theongoing leadership and community involvement that helpedthem be selected in the rst place.
We had about 75 nominees this year and then rom thatwe have a committee that looks at each and every submis-sion, said Susan Barker Vice-Provost o Students Universityo Calgary
We have criteria rom the Schulich Foundation, we look atacademic excellence, community involvement and entrepre-neurship. Then rom the nominees that we have we decide ontwo students that we make oers to as a result o the process.
Each high school in Canada is allowed to nominate onestudent or the scholarship said Barker. The rst round oselection is by the high school; at that stage the student mustsay which university they wish to be considered or. The nom-inees have to be choosing within a STEM program in orderto qualiy or the scholarship. STEM programs are science,
technology, engineering or math.Its pretty prestigious even to get nominated rom your
high school, said Barker.Zankl relived the day he got the call that he had been se-
lected as a recipient o the scholarship.I got a call rom the registrar at the University and he
was like well what are your plans or school, and I was likewell I am coming here now arent I? said Zankl.
This one was denitely crazy because I had gone homesick that aternoon and I was lying on the couch and just gotthat phone call and he was like, you need to sit down and atthat moment I kind o knew that that was what it was goingto be about.
I had seen on Facebook that they were announcing theirselection that day, so it was unbelievable, I could hardly talkand didnt even know what to say to him on the phone, it was
just unbelievable.Zankl plans to work on completing a combined degree
in economics and applied math. At this point he is not surewhere he plans to take his career, but he does have ve yearsto gure it out.
I get $15,000 a year and basically whatever is beyond tu-ition is mine to use or books and school supplies and to putaway a little bit more or my last year, said Zankl.
Montreal billionaire Seymour Schulich, who credits a schol-arship with helping him complete his own MBA at McGill Uni-
versity, created the Schulich scholarship. He has been quotedas saying he is trying to create a scholarship in Canada similarto the Rhodes scholarship. In 2011 he announced a git o$100 million to create the Schulich Leaders Scholarships. This
year there were 40 students across the country selected to be2013 recipients o the award.

Jonah Zankl (l) was awardd with a crticat for his Schulich LadrsScholarship for $60,000 by Prsidnt and Vic-Chancllor of th Univrsityof Calgary, Dr. elizabth Cannon.

You oten hear that those that getinto police work were born knowingthey would join the orce one day. Inthe case o one o Strathmores newestRCMP constable, Erin Peters, that old
stereotype holds true.Its always been an option or me, Iwas that little kid that always wantedto be a police ofcer, and I dont re-ally have a rational reason or that, butI was that little kid that always said Iwant to be a police ofcer, said Peters.
Ater high school Peters went to uni-versity beore moving to New Zealandor a year. Once she came back romher yearlong adventure she immediate-ly applied to RCMP Academy.The toughest thing she ound while
at the depot was a build up o all thelittle stu; she said you are pushed toevery capacity while there. She oundit was about learning to manage yourtime and fnding balance between hav-
ing so much to do and sort o maintain-ing your own personal hobbies as well.
Its a little bit tough sometimes, butyou really have to make a conscious e-ort. Strathmore is really good becauseit provides a lot o opportunities withgyms, parks and things to do, it givesyou a lot more options o things to do,said Peters.
Fitness is emphasized, but Peters saidthe Academy oers a balance o train-ing between both academics and ft-ness.
You have to be able to contributeequally in everything. Its not just amatter o being able to run eight kilo-metres the astest, you have to be ableto also learn your laws. Learning othertools like communication and sort oanalytical tools to help you as well.They really try and prepare you or ev-ery situation.
Being a member o the RCMP wasonce a career most commonly pickedby men, but when Peters was in train-ing she said it was a airly even mix omen and women.
Theres defnitely been a hugeshitnot necessarily even (in) attract-ing women, but women being attractedto the jobs and realizing that there is alot o potential and opportunity thereor them, said Peters.
She graduated rom the academy inFebruary, and immediately went home
to pack her bags and come to Strath-more. Since being here she has had anumber o interesting experiences, butthere are some that stand out morethan others.
I think one o the more interestingexperiences because you sort o seeit on TV was participating in locatingsome individuals with the assistance othe helicopter, the HAWC rom Calgary,that was defnitely a really good op-portunity that a lot o people may notget in other areas i its not available to
Dream of policing comes true
Steroids often get bad press but there is a goodside to them. Our bodies normally make steroidsto build cholesterol which produce hormones
like cortisol, made by our adrenal glands andis important in energy and immune functions.Other steroids regulate our uid and electrolytes.Our sex hormones, like testosterone and estrogenare also steroids.
Steroids are also used legitimately to treat dis-eases like asthma, inammatory bowel disease,rheumatoid arthritis and gout. Short coursesof steroids are used to treat allergic reactionsthat might cause obstruction of the airways andthey can bring a quick and dramatic relief ofsymptoms.
Its the negative sides of steroids that we hearabout in the media. Some body builders andathletes use them as performance enhancers andthey can cause serious side effects like cataracts,osteoporosis, immune system suppression, con-fusion and mood changes perhaps with halluci-nations. Kidney failure, blood clots, stroke andshrinking of the male testes also can occur.
For standard medical problems, doctoroversight of the use and dosage of steroids isvery important. However, using them for bodyenhancement is not a good idea and should def-nitely be avoided.
It takes fve years to become a pharmacist. Inthat time, we learn much about drugs and theiruses. Wed be happy to share that knowledge
with you.

them, said Peters.Id say thats got to be one o
my highlights, sort o like be-ing a kid watching a helicopterchase except youre in it thistime.
Having a chance to grow inher career, and be able to ex-
pand on her skills and moveinto dierent policing areas arejust a ew things that attractedPeters to the Royal CanadianMounted Police.
I think or me its the levelo opportunity thats availablewith the RCMP. You sort o havethe excitement o general dutypolicing which you do now andthen you can build up to morespecialized sections in ederalunits as well, which isnt an op-portunity that everyone has inthis line o wok, said Peters.
And the red serge is just kindo nice looking.
She said it was unny about
the serge because you see it andits really cool, but she said onceyou literally sweat and bleedor it, its a really nice eeling tohave made it and fnally have iton.

years ago. Deb and I actually know how it all gotstarted. There was a man we knew who had a lot orabbits in the 70s, and a bunch o them got loose.It took a while (even though they were rabbits), buteventually Canmore had a real rabbit problem - they
were everywhere. They lived in wooded areas, un-der buildings, and a bunch hung out under the Se-niors Lodge. I guess i you were Lennie rom OMice and Men, youd be in Bunny Heaven! Remem-
ber, he wanted to tend da rabbits?My son had his own bunny situation, but it turned
out to be a help, not a problem. When he was in hisrookie basketball season at the U. o C. he and theother rookies had to ace the dreaded Initiation.The older players basically got the rookies very
drunk and shaved their heads to the skin. Fromwhat he remembers, the party changed locations aew times, and fnally a totally bald Brennen was setree! Unortunately, he had no idea where in Calgaryhe was, and he was still quite loaded!
He actually phoned us on his cell in the weehours, to try and get navigated close to his base-ment suite. This is where the rabbits came in. A to-tally bald Brennen ound his way close enough tothe university and home by noticing rabbits! Thereare a large number o rabbits near the U. o C. orsome reason. Some may actually been set ree bystudents who didnt want to dissect them in Biology!
There was a ellow PE classmate o mine, who actu-ally made a protest sign about this that read: Frogs
Okay - Bunnies NO Way!Anyway, a very inebriated Brennen ound his
way home, all because a lot o rabbits lived nearhis place! They couldnt help with his shaved head,though.
I you know elementary teachers, you knowtheyre always on.
Even in Summer Break, theyre always thinkingor planning about changing their classrooms, newmethods or books to try, even things like class pets.
There have been a ew summers when the critterswound up at our house, until school resumed. Thatbrings me to this summer. Debbie ound a bargainon the Strathmore Sells site, and wound up with asmall terrarium flled with sand, rocks, and not one,
but two Hermit Crabs. First o all, Im not big on
anything that even remotely resembles a reptile, andthese crabs are ugly! They actually leave one shell
behind, and crawl into a bigger one. Now, you rarelysee this happen, because only one crab actually doesanything. He crawls around in his shell, with a goodhead o steam, so my kids named him Turbo. Well,
Turbo actually got away while no one noticed, and amassive search was launched. We ound him under a
big couch, that I had to tip up, so Deb could get him.I thought about the crab, and asked Deb what crab
was like barbecued? She did not fnd this amusing,and put Turbo back in the terrarium. The other onestill was in his shell, although Im still not even surethere are two, because Ive never seen the one whosalways hiding. Oh yeah, hes a really un-flled pet all you need to do, is watch the shell do absolutelynothing, and imagine what this crab might do!Youd think that would be it or my elementary
teacher wie, but youd be as wrong as me. More bar-gain Internet shopping, and we welcomed anotheraddition to the amily. Deb said he was a hedgehog,and my kids immediately named him Sonic, youknow, rom the Sega video game. I knew we were inor trouble when the lady who delivered him said,hes really stinky we had to roll down the win-dows!The cage was pretty dirty, and I was just getting
used to this, when the other part o the cage camein! This hedgehog didnt have just a cage, he hadan addition where he could go and exercise! WhenI saw the hedgehog, I realized why he needed theextra exercise cage! I thought hedgehogs were smallenough to ft in your hand but this one was huge!He snorted a lot, made some gross snuing nos-es and waddled into his little house. I told Debbie,
thats not a hedgehog, thats a badger!This thing is a beast the ew times Ive seenhim, hes a ball o quills, with a long snout, andhe makes weird noises! Deb showed this at rodentto me, while she held him with oven mitts, so shecould pet him!
They say hedgehogs cant see well, but this onestared me down! Im even scared to go near him ona milk and cookie run at night (you dont thinkDeb got him rom Doc, do you?)!
So, now weve got new members o the amily,were moving to another house, and Im scared towalk near the badgers cage! I know these guys areleaving when school starts, but its the frst time Iveever wanted the Staples Back to School ads to startright now!

Letters to the editor
To the Editor
I fnd it interesting that a simple act okindness has been blown into such a ri-diculous issue. First I would like to com-mend the Mayor and his council or do-nating money in a timely manner to helpout High River; it was an act o kindnessin a time o need on behal o Strathmore.Giving like this is a municipalitys right,
one Im sure many other municipalitieshave done.There seems to be issue however in the
manner in which this was done. Being atown council they do have policy in placeto help them act upon special circum-stances.
Using Town issued cell phones therewas a 6/7 vote to go ahead and make thedonation to High River (Councillor Bestvoted no). Councillor Sobol then asked i
anyone wanted to call a special meeting,and no councillor requested one. There-ore the donation was made. I would liketo remind those who are upset by this thatwe are only talking about a $1,000, whichwas given to a real lie crisis in our ownbackyard.
I dont believe there is any need to de-mand a resignation or a gesture that was
made with good intentions and ollowedthrough using councils own policy.
Councillor Best may not be happy withthe outcome, but it did happen with amajority vote, which is what democracyis about. There is paperwork/minutes toprove that the unds were given ollowingproper protocol. I think we need to trustthose we have put in charge to do theirjobs as best they can as long as they areadhering to their board policy and pro-
cedures. Ater all, that is why we elect agroup o people to run our town.
I policy and procedure were ollowedand only one member o council have aproblem with what has transpired, thenone tends to think a uss like this is moreo a personal issue and does not belongin the board room. Wheatland Countycouncil is doing the same type o thing,
with public accusations and demands orapology rom one councillor to another.Again i due process was ollowed,then wheres the problem?
I guess the good news is that this wholething will be sorted out on Election Dayin October. Please exercise your right tovote.

To the Editor
Although I respect a persons right todisagree with my actions (Letter to theEditor by Cheryl Marshman, StrathmoreTimes July 18, 2013), I do take exceptionto having someone misrepresent the acts,and thereby question my integrity.
Mr. Sobol used his position to decidewithout due process to grant money.
Not true. I did, however, use my posi-tion as a councillor and representativeo my community (Strathmore) to orga-nize some assistance to our neighbors inSouthern Alberta in their time o need.Administration and our Mayor were
frst approached with my suggestions andwere supportive. I then contacted eachcouncillor to determine whether theywould support the concept (fve out oseven responded afrmatively).
On two occasions, I suggested havinga special council meeting to approve theunds (the last time on June 24, beoreany unds were released).
No one rom council requested a spe-cial council meeting to deal with this is-sue. Sometimes, decisions have to bemade quickly but they have never beenmade by one person. Whether in a or-mal or inormal setting, this council hasalways worked on the principal that aquorum (majority) is required to make adecision, and this was no exception. Theenormity o this tragedy created abnor-mal times, and the majority o our councilrealized this - demonstrating leadershipin supporting two proposals to help ourneighbors.
CouncillorBob Sobol
Helping those in need
To the Editor
I elt it was time to write this letter. Mosto us take every day as a normal challengeand take everything or granted. We pretty
much ollow the same routine day in - dayout, without changing too much. I knowthat I do.June 20-23, 2013, everything changed in
High River. Not only changed or 13,000residents, but also their amilies and riendsoutside o town.This was not a normal food. High River
can handle those. They do just about everyyear. They have the expertise and equip-ment to deal with those food issues. Ive
been with the mayor in previous years andseen what they had to deal with - and it
was handled extremely well.The High River food o 2013 has been
declared the third worst disaster to hitNorth America. The fow rates o the High-
wood River were indeed greater than Ni-agara Falls. About all you can do is stand
back and watch.In two words - total devastation.
With a state o emergency already de-clared, and the Emergency Operations Cen-tre (EOC) in ull operation, town ocialsknew they were in trouble. Panic saety
became top priority. As foodwaters contin-ued to rise, within hours a mandatory ullevacuation order was issued. By the 2 and3 day, the entire town was under water;some streets nine eet deep. Weve all seenpictures over and over.
In the meantime, tensions, tempers andstress levels were also starting to rise. My
brother called about then and said, Rocky,you know Im the mayor o High River butI dont know i I got a town let. I replied
back to him Emile, you still have your peo-
ple. Look ater your people!In the three to our weeks that ollowed,
I absolutely believe he did exactly that. TheMayor and Council working with the EOC,kept public saety and health in mind, keptenorcing the evacuation order in place,and dont orget; there were no utilities
working at all.With increased security, police and army
in place, much to some citizens unrest, theMayor kept his line - keeping his popula-tion inormed o what was happening daily.
He took some fack over this (and prob-
ably still is) but he stayed the course tomake sure his population was sae.
His decision to hand over the local stateo emergency to the Province was a very
wise one, even i it was only or two weeks.High Rivers town sta and administration
were completely mentally drained and a-tigued. Many or all o them were dealing
with their own personal food problems.Even the Mayor didnt escape unscathed.His house and commercial properties re-ceived extensive damage.As High River moves ahead, time will
heal. Some o their citizens were more or-tunate than others. Some lost a little andothers lost a lot.
It is very gratiying, to say the least, tosee people helping people; communitieshelping communities. The week o July8-15, there was in one day, excess o 1,000
volunteers in High River. This is tremen-dous!
It might take 10 years to rebuild HighRiver, but we all know - they will get there.As or my brother, I had lunch with him
last week July 17. Weve never been re-ally emotional, except maybe when mompassed away a ew years ago. But I doknow, he has ull amily support behindhim, rom the Blokland side as well as romhis wie, Gails side. We all love him verymuch and we all respect him or the leader-ship role that he has taken on in this disas-ter. Even in Strathmore yesterday, people
were saying thank you to Emile. PremierRedord told me that Emile was one o thestrongest people that she has met.
Small town politics can be tough as Ihave ound out, but this is a big time busi-ness that has to be dealt with.
I have known this man or 60 years andI have never been more proud o him. Inhis words inch by inch we will get there.
And you will. Our mother always told usnever give up.
Mayor Emile Blokland is probably the
My Brother, the Mayor of High Riverhardest working, and well-known mayor inCanada - or all the wrong reasons.
High River, you should be very proud oyour Mayor, Emile Blokland.
Thank you.Sincerely,
Councillor Rocky Blokland

The Strathmore and District Agricultural Soci-ety is celebrating 40 years this year. The club be-gan in 1973, and one o its ounding members,Eugene Helrich, still sits proudly on the board.
Helrich has been president o the Ag. Societya ew times in the past, but says now he plans tojust remain a board member.
Though the rodeo is one o the biggest eventsthe Ag. Society hosts, it wasnt originally createdor the rodeo.
Originally the land was pur-chased to provide space or therecreation acilities in Strathmoreas they were needed. So the Ag.Society donated the land that thetennis courts, the curling rink,the skate board park, the FamilyCentre and the Civic Centre areall on, said Helrich.The whole process began in
1970 when the Strathmore LionsClub began looking or land toaccommodate uture recreation-al acilities. In 1970 the curlingrink was where the Crowoot Li-quor Store is now, the arena waswhere the old IGA (now Sobeys)is and the outdoor pool waswhere KFC is.
There was no parking aroundthere, and we thought it would be very nice whenthese acilities outlived their useulness, or i
something happened to them, i we would havesome land available or these acilities to be builton. That was the premise o buying the land, andthats how the Ag. Society was born was to buythe land, said Helrich.
In the beginning the main problem was gain-ing community support or the project. Duringthe search or land the organizing group lookedat three parcels o land. The frst is where thecurrent town ofce is and the surrounding land.Another area considered was the land that is nowknown as the Spruce Industrial Park; and thethird was the present day Parkwood.
By 1972 support or the project had grown, andso the group applied to the Government o Al-berta requesting that they wanted to orm whatis now the Strathmore and District AgriculturalSociety.The frst meeting or the newly ormed society
was on April 18, 1973, and on June 14, 40 yearsago, a Memorandum o Agreement was signed topurchase 150 acres.
Helrich said it was more land than they hadoriginally intended to buy, but in the end hasworked out quite well with the growth o the ro-
deo.When we went looking or
this land back in 1970 the rodeowas the urthest thing rom ourmind, it was basically or rec-reation or the town, said Hel-rich.The rodeo had started out on
the south end o Kinsmen Park,but in 1976 or 1977 the frst ro-deo was held at the current lo-cation. Since then it has grownto become one o the top threelargest rodeos in Canada.A lot o things have changed
since the initial talks about fnd-ing land or recreation acilities.
It seems to have gone bypretty ast, theres been a lot ac-complished at the Ag. Societygrounds over the years, said
Helrich.One o the newest things the Ag. Society board
is working on now is creating an outdoor skatingrink.
We have plans in place or it were just look-ing or unds right now, we have applications orsome grant money, we hope to get that o theground pretty quick, said Helrich.The Ag. Society may be best known or the
Strathmore Stampede, but throughout the yearthey are always busy with other activities outsideo the rodeo.
Helrich said the Ag. Society hopes to continueto provide recreation and amily acilities wellinto the uture.

If The CrICk DonT rIse
Ever heard the phrase, Ill be
there Lord willing and i the crickdont rise?
Its an old expression that hasbeen around or decades, but takes
on new signicance or us thesedays in Southern Alberta. I have
lived here or 25 years and havenever seen anything like this in our
rivers. Others who have lived heremuch longer have said the same
thing.It got me thinking, i you put
enough water together in the same
place, going the same direction, itspower is amazing. The other day
I explored around Wyndham Parkand the Caresland Weir. The whole
area is changed. The banks o theBow River that used to be t here
are simply gone. Picnic tablesare resting on ences hundreds o
yards rom the river. O course, thedamage to homes and businessesis where it is really serious. The
losses are in the millions andmillions o dollars.
So, what are we to make o this?To go back to our old saying, the
crick rose, but how does the Lordswill t in? Ill leave sorting that out
to someone else who has moresmarts and more space than me.But we can remember some things
about God and foods.When the Lord regretted what
a mess his people made o hiscreation, he destroyed them with
a devastating food. Thats whatNoah and the ark are all about.
God expressed his wrath towardrebellion by fooding the earth and
eectively starting over. It was likecreation and then de-creation.
Centuries later things werenot much dierent. This time,however, instead o wiping out all
o humanity, the Lord wiped out therepresentative human, his son, Je-
sus Christ. Psalm 42:7 can be takenas reerring to Jesus when it says
your waves have gone over me.God, in eect, drowned his own
son in a food o his wrath. Themeant we were sae on dry ground,
and this is a great grace. This wasthe beginning o his re-creation.
Whatever we might make o the
Flood o 2013 and its atermath,one thing we can say is that God
does still love us. He proved that inJesus Christ.

The Strathmore Regional Arts Collective (SRAC)
gained a one-time only payment of $2,500 fromthe County of Wheatland on July 16, to supporta Cultural Days event for Countyresidents. The group were advisedby letter that any further fundingrequests should go through theCommunity Enhancement fundingprocess. Consideration was givenby council to the request as thegroup was in organizational stagesat the time of last years Communi-ty Enhancement funding deadline.
We are new, we are serious,long overdue and we are here tostay, said Brandy Hebbes, spokes-person for the group.
Hebbes said that SRAC hadbased the need for arts and cul-
tural development on studies done in the pastwhich indicated that the people in the area arehungry for more opportunities to enjoy entertain-ment and cultural experiences. Wanda Reinholdt
of the Hope Bridges Society appeared in supportof the group. Hope Bridges helped in the earlystages of the groups development.
SRAC established a nine member board and
became incorporated in August 2012. Their goalis to help area artists improve and communicatetheir work, notify and educate res-idents about the arts, and provideartistic and cultural event venuesfor the enjoyment of the commu-nity. During Alberta Cultural Days,they will be holding a fair in Kins-man Park in Strathmore on Sept28. There will be tents with vari-ous working artists, exhibits andlive entertainment all day long.They are looking for partner-
ships for their organization andhave begun fundraising. Theygained a donation from the Townof Strathmore and are working toinclude Siksika in discussions and
support aboriginal artists as well.They are a very strong and united group of
passionate people, said Councillor BernieceBland.

With the donation o a big-ticket item, BobbyJo Wiebe just knew she had to reopen her onlineauction or another week. Since hearing the news
she has kept her ans in suspense on Facebook,only announcing on July 23 what the secret itemis.The auction runs on July 27 rom 9 a.m. to 6
p.m. and those interested can bid by going toFacebook and adding BJ Wiebe as a riend, or bygoing on Twitter and ollowing @bajah21.
The item is a signed guitar rom the guys oNickelback, donated by them personally, saidWiebe.
When we started the auction online I had ahuge dream to have something signed by Nick-elback. I have a riend who knew how to get itdone but we really didnt think it would happenbecause o the scheduling. Needless to say it cameto ruition just recently and there was no way Iwas turning that away. The guys are rom Albertaso it is an incredible t to have this opportunity
and I know we will make them proud.Wiebe and her riends are hoping to see the
guitar signed by the Hanna natives bring in thou-sands o dollars. Theyre hoping to hit the $10,000mark overall or the auction.Wiebe began the auction last month as a way to
help raise unds or those aected by the food in
the Carseland-Wyndham area. She began with agoal o raising $300 and quickly realized that shewasnt dreaming big enough.
As o July 16 the auction had raised $5,550,and now with the autographed guitar the goal o$10,000 isnt so ar o. Families in Wyndham have
nished cleanup and now have begun assessingwhat repairs need to be done, and what things areneeded to help them get their lives back on track.
Continued support is instrumental in makingsure that happens, and nancial help will go along way in ensuring those who have lost homes,or parts o their homes, will be able to come outo this on their eet and able to move on.
Ater this item, its time to give some o thismoney out. We want our Wyndham amilies tokeep progressing with rebuild and this moneywill hopeully help with whatever is not covered,said Wiebe.
Having Nickelbacks support is attracting morenames wanting to help, so i we need a roundtwo o big ticket items then so be it, we will keepit going or them. The support or this auctionand people o Carseland- Wyndham is out o this
world amazing and eels so great to be a part oit all.Another dream o Wiebes is nding a business
that will match the unds raised through the auc-tion. Any businesses interested in matching theamount raised, or helping them reach their goalo $10,000, can contact BJ Wiebe at 403-616-5571.

Councillor John Rempel has beenloading up his pickup and deliveringtruckloads of items to High River everychance he can.
He had brought pressure washers,tarps and dollys to help haul out gar-bage from the homes. Now that muchof the clean-up stage is coming to anend residents are now in need of dif-ferent items.
He said the residents of the water-devastated community are in need ofitems to help them start putting theirlives back together.The clothing donations that have
poured in from outlying communitieshave been greatly appreciated, but as
some High River residents are movingback into their homes they need thingslike furniture, dishes and other every-day household items.
Theres an awful lot of work thatneeds to be done there, said Rempel.
Unless you have been there its inde-scribable.
Rempel said he is trying to makehimself and his truck available to helpbring things to the community. He alsowants people to know that he doesrecognize there are other communitiesthat are also in need, that he has notforgotten them and that he is trying tohelp out where he can.
Rempel suggests that anyone wishingto donate items do so by bringing themto the Salvation Army in Okotoks or inNanton.

The Calgary Kart Racing Club (CKRC)made a well-received presentation to
Town council on July 17 about the pos-sibility o moving their acility into thetown. John Kwong, president o theCKRC club, and secretary Nathan Bart-
ley showed a PowerPoint presentationon who the CKRC is, what they do and
why they would be good to have in thecommunity.
CKRC has been around since aboutthe 50s, which is approximately whenkart racing was rst developed.
We started out on parking lots, get-ting permission to set up and race inempty parking lots prior to when Sun-day shopping started. Later we got per-
Racing club hopes to fnd a new home in Strathmoremanent acilities when they were avail-able, one o those was Kart Gardens
by the Calgary Airport, said Kwong.The present acility is located just
southwest o Sheppard (SP) road and68 St. next to the Calgary Waste andRecycling Landll. Kwong said thelease is coming to an end and the city
wants to reclaim it or waste disposal.
The CKRC has been actively seek-ing a new location to bring their track.
They had worked with the City o Cal-gary or 13 years and hope to buildanother good relationship whereverthey end up.
Trac and noise concerns are rstand oremost sometimes when you leta motorsports acility into the commu-nity. Ninety per cent o our acility us-ers are Calgary residents, said Kwong.
The noise level we abide by rightnow is the City o Calgary noise bylaw
which is 96 decibels, were well withinthose limits.
He said the club is able to stay with-in the noise restriction without havinganything to try and cover the noise,
such as berms. There would be about60 vehicles coming through town toattend the events, which Kwong said
would generally arrive at the track be-ore 9 a.m. and leave around 4 or 5p.m. in the aternoon. The CKRC is nota rental acility; it is by appointmentonly and is club run.
Its a summer time only kind o ven-ue. We run 12 one-day events, test andtune access on Tuesday and Thurs-day evenings typically. Our other usergroups also hold one-day events com-ing in at about nine weekend eventsand 20 weekday what we call test andtune events, said Kwong.
In the past the CKRC has hosted
charitable events, they have donatedbottles collected on race day to the
Boy Scouts, donated track time to theUniversity o Calgary and more.The CKRC is looking or something
like 15-20 acres on reasonably fatland.
Some o the concerns they have arestorm water management and decentaccess to main roads. The only utilitythey need is electricity and an area to
can put up porta potties.The CKRC has 150 members in their
club. There are 400 in the Alberta miniroad-racing club. The Motard club alsouses the acilities and has 25 members.
The Allen Berg racing schools, and asttrack motorcycle saety school also usethe track and are partnerships Kwongthinks will come with them to theirnew location.
Kwong said the CKRC only needsthe land; they are prepared to incur allexpenses to build their track. Kwongsaid the acility the town would get atno cost to the taxpayers, but with ben-ets to the community. Right now the
big ticket is to get the land, commit-ment, get the asphalt down and go on
rom there.We dont want to be a burden on
anybody, its just getting the land,thats been our biggest obstacle so ar,said Kwong.
Council was supportive o the pre-sentation and are looking orward tothe possibility o having the CKRC callStrathmore home.
I sure would like to be able to seeyou guys locate to Strathmore, saidCouncillor John Rempel.
Im excited, I say pursue that withadministration and see what we cando, said Mayor Steve Grajczyk.The CKRC will now have to go
through administrative channels to be-
gin the required process to bring theiracility to town.

The second and third readings o the Abraham
Heights Area Service Plan (ASP) passed WheatlandCouncil with one vote opposed, on July 16. It isa two phase, three-acre development o eight lotsand an additional commercial lot, southwest oStrathmore.
Gareth Webster, engineering consultant retainedby the county, recommended council not accept theASP, which led to discussion o issues surround-ing the plan. Webster indicated the developmentparameters were not consistent with the Munici-pal Development Plan (MDP), because it ragment-ed agricultural land and was not in a designatedgrowth node. He also had other concerns.
I am concerned with the conclusion that theplan theoretically states, the wells will service thearea and remaining developments in the area, said
Webster.He suggested a ground water study be done
to veriy the conclusion. The ASP showed trafcwould be pushed over the capacity limit, movingit into a type two category, requiring paving andupkeep o the intersection on Township 240 andRR254. He recommended the developer be respon-sible or those costs. Councillors also had concernsabout storm water management plans or the lots,as there was no centralized plan suggested.
Patricia Maloney, planner or the developer, ar-gued that those concerns could be dealt with dur-
ing the re-designation stage o development, andexpensive detailed studies were not required bythe county at this stage in the past.
In earlier plans we required them or some and
not or others, said Reeve Glenn Koester. This ispart o the growing pains with our Area ServicePlans. We are trying to come up with a more con-sistent method to make it easier on sta and de-
velopers.Maloney argued they had complied with re-
quired studies and previous requests and condi-tions, which included moving an access road 15m west o an Encana well easement and a prom-ise to clean up uel tanks and vehicles on the lots.She pointed out while the development wasnt ina growth node; it was close to an urban centre,
which was indicated as desirable in the MDP. Shesaid the trafc increase would only be our vehiclesat peak periods, and the intersection currently ser-
viced county trafc going to the waste transer siteand Global Training. She elt it was unair to placecosts on one party. She elt levies or partnerships
could be developed or the intersection later inthe process. Landowner Danny Thiessen said they
were trying to look to the uture or the area andthey wanted to be able to set aside property ortheir children. Thiessen said water issues were im-portant, as it impacted their residence as well. Ma-loney said that each lot could incorporate a pondthat would deal with storm water concerns. Therecurrently were no objections rom neighbours orthe development.
