Strathmore isnt a communitywith a very high crime rate, butonce again a local business has

been robbed. On April 21, anarmed robbery took place atNo Frills. The RCMP was calledat approximately 10:55 a.m.,

which was just after the crimehad been committed, accordingto their report.

Generally these things hap-pen in a matter of seconds, so

by the time somebody picksup the phone to dial 911, theperson responsible is generallyin a run, or jumping into a ve-hicle by then, said Cpl. StephenBrowne, with the StrathmoreRCMP.

Whether or not there wasany help, were not aware ofthat.The suspect, dressed in dark

clothing, proceeded to thepharmacy. He then demandedpharmaceutical narcotics andproduced a weapon. An undisclosed amount of

pharmaceutical narcotics weretaken. The suspect was last seenheading westbound towards the

Glenwood area of Strathmore. This is the second pharma-

ceutical robbery Strathmore hasseen in the last four months. OnDec. 22, Shoppers Drug Martspharmacy was targeted. Thesuspect in that robbery was re-ported to be armed with a re-arm, and had also ed the scene

with an undisclosed amount ofpharmaceutical narcotics. In

both cases no one was injured,and Browne said there is noth-ing to connect the two crimes.No suspect had been appre-hended as of press time. Theinvestigation will continue.

An interest in politics and governmentis not something many teens have, butone Strathmore High School, SHS, stu-

dent does. Jonah Zankl had the oppor-tunity to spend a week in Edmonton asa part of the Forum for Young Albertans.

It was recommended by Mr. Pirie whois my social teacher. I signed up, and Igot accepted, said Zankl.

Hes an outstanding student, not onlyacademically, but also in the sense thathe works hard, hes willing to interactwith others and hes very mature, saidRob Pirie, an SHS teacher.This was the rst time in a few years

that an SHS student has participated inthe forum. Pirie said he is not sure whythe school hasnt sent anyone in thelast few years, but thinks one part of itmight be the fact that many of the stu-

dents arent ready to go off on their own.Pirie also said he would argue that thename hinders some young people fromwanting to go. He said the name doesntsound exciting, and politics and govern-ment isnt something a lot of young peo-ple have an interest in.

Anybody who ever went has justraved about it, which is unfortunate thatnot too many go, said Pirie.

Zankl had signed up for the forum inFebruary, and heard in March that hewas accepted to take part in it.

We did everything from listening tospeakerswe were at the courthouse allday, said Zankl.

We talked to a whole bunch of dif-ferent MLAs and leaders of the differ-

ent parties. We talked to somebody fromCBC, who told us sort of what her role isbeing the media in the government. Wemet with the speaker and got to sit down

on the oor.The 29 students who took part had a

tour of the legislature in Edmonton, din-ner with the MLAs, and had a chance togo to the top of the legislature.

We had a bunch of different panels

so that we could ask questions of all theparties and see where their views dif-fered, said Zankl.

We had four hours in the legislaturewhere it was just us and we got to de-bate within the house so that was reallycool.

Zankl said there was no one thing thatstood out as the best, because it wassuch a great experience. He said though,if he would have to pick, it would prob-ably be listening to the panels, because itinterested him how, in Alberta, there canbe a group of people that vary so muchand that it really opened his eyes. The students also got to sit in on a

question period, which got a little rowdy

when the leader of the liberals posed aquestion to the conservatives. Zankl saidhe is glad Mr. Pirie recommended he go,because he doesnt think he would haveotherwise.

After going I would denitely recom-mend it to anybody, it was an awesomeexperience, said Zankl.

Its denitely something I would rec-ommend to people even if theyre notgung ho for politics. Its a really goodlearning opportunity and you meet a lotof really cool people, especially the peo-ple who go with you.

He said he had considered himselffairly knowledgeable about politics andthe government but still learned quite abit.

I didnt quite understand how the mi-nority parties within the house worked.Like how so few people can get quitea bit done, so that was sort of an eye

opener, but they do. Even though theydont have much power, they still havequite a bit, said Zankl.

I like to keep track of it because it af-fects our lives so much yet people dontquite realize that. I think its importantto get involved because if you dont vote,and you arent happy with whats beingdone, its sort of your own fault right.Getting involved is the biggest thing.

Zankl recommended interested peopleshould go to the website www.youngal- bertans.com and nd out more aboutwhat is offered. Registration is available

online and the next forum will be nextspring. Interested people dont have tonecessarily be recommended by a teach-er, they can apply on their own to attend.

Jonah Zankl recently got back from a week long

trip to Edmonton as part of the Forum for Young

Albertans.

Why Massage

Through Pregnancy?

During pregnancy, your body

will need to accommodate its

accelerated growth and weight

As early as two weeks into

your pregnancy, the hormones

progesterone and relaxing

encourage elasticity in your joints,

muscles and other soft tissues to

help satisfy this need. But this new

mobility often results in pain. For

example, a shift in the pelvic joint

combined with the extra weight

you are carrying often results in

sciatica, and can literally be a real

pain in the butt!Prenatal Massage lessens pain

and aching in weight bearing joints,

helps reduce swelling in your

extremities, encourages digestion

by easing constipation and reduces

fatigue and muscle cramping.

Promoting deep relaxed breathing

also lessens mood swings and

anxiety.

Massage Therapists trained in

Pregnancy/ Prenatal Massage will

chose specic techniques that

are safe and effective. A typical

massage position would be side

lying, where your Therapist wouldrst address one half of your body

with you laying on your side and

then have you turn to the other

side mid treatment. This position

is made more comfortable through

the ample use of pillows for support

between knees, under your neck

and growing belly. Another option

would be The Queen of Sheba

position where you would lay on

your back, propped up with several

layered pillows holding your upper

body semi reclined. Your position

is always determined by how

appropriate and safe it is for your

pregnancy and, of course, by yourcomfort level.

Since changes in your body

may continue up to a year into the

postpartum period, especially in

nursing mothers, Massage Therapy

can continue to ease the stress you

may feel as a new mother by helping

to reduce pain and encourage

relaxation. Further, a new mom can

be taught how to bring the healing

benets of their own touch into their

babys life through Infant Massage.

Allow yourself time to experience

massage during pregnancy. Help

your body to relax and unwind, andyour mind to nd calm and serenity

during a time when physical and

emotional stress is high.

Massage Therapist at Country

Escape Spa and Wellness, trained in

To the Editor

There are currently some interesting happeningson the Canadian campaign trail. And while ultimatelythe voters will decide the direction Canada will take,

we should be careful to look what unfortunate thingsare currently happening in other countries in the

world. And more importantly, we should try to learnfrom the experiences in those countries. As we all know, many countries in the European

Union were not as fortunate as Canada, under thecapable leadership of Prime Minister Harper. Theysimply did not survive one of the worst recessions inthe world. To name a few: Ireland, Portugal, Greece,Spain - all countries which have asked or will askthe European Union to nancially bail them out. Ifthey are not bailed out, these countries will simplygo bankrupt. Now, it is interesting to note that all ofthese countries were or are lead by Socialist or SocialDemocratic leaders (similar to the current NDP). Po-litical analysts in Europe believe that the EU is in bigtrouble and that a number of other countries will facethe same economic uncertainties.Also, just recently, South of our border, in the Unit-

ed States of America, under the leadership of a Demo-cratic (or better Social Democratic) President Obama,there was a real crisis. The US Congress refused tosign spending bills because the US is currently facingthe largest decit and debt load in their history. Infact, there are quite a few economists that are predict-ing that the people of the US will never be able to pay

back their per capita debt load. And then we have Canada who, facing the same

world recession, surprisingly has done better thanany industrialized country in the world. In fact, Mr.Harper has stated that he intends to pay off our re-cession-caused decit by 2014/15. Quite an economicaccomplishment having to maneuver through aminority parliament. With all the aws our currentgovernment might have had or has, looking at whatis happening around the world, it is still the best al-ternative we all have. We indeed have been blessed.

Therefore, on May 2, I plan to vote for a majority con-servative government under the leadership of PrimeMinister Stephen Harper!

Scouts News

The 1st Strathmore Scouts attended the IronScout Camp a couple of weekends ago. Iron Scoutcame about from the Iron Chef show on TV. As

with the show Iron Scout uses a theme or spe-cial ingredient in the contest. This year the theme

was Super Heroes and the special ingredient wasspinach. All prep and cooking is done at the camp

by the Scouts only, leaders are not allowed at thecampsite while the food is being prepared. This event was attended by 196 youth and

adults, with 30 groups presenting their menu to

the judges. For the rst time since its inceptionthe Iron Scout contest was won by group fromoutside of Calgary - that group was the 1st Strath-more Scouts. From the prep work to the cookingand presentation to the judges the scouts workedas a complete team. All seven of the scouts at thecamp were a valued contributing member of theteam. Their win was a complete team effort that

was well deserved. The winning members were; Ashleigh Enslen,

Brandon Korol, Rylan Hammel, Ethan Lewin, Er-ica ONeil, Gabe Erhman, and Maggie Wiebe. Theleaders of the 1st Strathmore Scouts are Stephenand Alicia Enslen.

To the Editor

April marks the 60th anniversary of the Battle ofKapyong one of the most signicant battles fought

by the Canadians in the Korean War.As a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, a

group of committed young people who are dedicatedto preserving Canadas military heritage, I would liketo highlight this anniversary.

On April 24-25, 1951, the 2nd Battalion of PrincessPatricias Canadian Light Infantry engaged in the Bat-tle of Kapyong. From their stand on Hill 677, the Pa-tricias managed to hold their positions and re-openthe supply route despite tremendous odds and bitterghting. The Canadian action at Kapyong stopped theChinese advance in this sector of the front for the restof the war and earned the battalion the US Presiden-tial Citation for valour.

Canada sent 26,791 soldiers to battle in Korea. More

than 1,200 were seriously wounded and another 516never came home. After the Korean Armistice Agree-ment was signed in 1953, the Canadians returnedhome amid little fanfare. There were no bands play-ing, and no parades. In fact, the Korean War had verylittle impact on Canadians, except, of course, those

who fought in it or who lost loved ones. To mark this anniversary, The War Amps has re-

released its documentary Korea: Canadas ForgottenWar to regular and specialty TV channels. Part of TheWar Amps Military Heritage Series, it is also availableat a cost-recovery price of $12 by calling 1-800-250-3030 or visiting waramps.ca.

No one was more surprised atthe success o Band Wars, whichtook place April 23, than the bands. There were fve bands, Truck, Shrapnel, Burning Efgy,End Silence and Silo helping kids

o all ages rock out at the CivicCentre.

It was a pretty good success,there was quite a lot o peoplethere actually, I was pretty sur-prised, I didnt think there would be that many there, said Clay Watson, better known as Cashwith the band Silo, who were theheadliners.All o the bands there are quite

a bit heavier than Silo, who isconsidered had rock, while mosto the other bands played heavymetal.

They even surprised me some-times with how heavy they couldget, but theyre defnitely good

musiciansbut were defnitely adierent music genre rom them,said Watson.

We dont get a lot o oppor-tunities to do all ages shows, sothat was a good opportunity orus. Because defnitely that is thecrowd we want to get ollow-ing us, the young guys, becausetheyre the ones that buy yourmusic and all that stu.

Silo has recently signed on witha management company, and Wat-son said there might not be muchtime let to do local shows comesummer. The band wants to gettheir local shows in now, because

they are not sure when they cando them again.We all had a really good time,

the second band that played, it was their third or ourth showthat theyve ever done live, so itwas pretty big or them, and weall had a lot o un, said Brett Ro-tariu, drummer or End Silence.

End Silence was the organizero the Band Wars. They had comehere or a show last October andater seeing how well it went,the band decided on Strathmore.They picked the name Band Wars, because they are all Star Warsgeeks, but it wasnt a battle o the bands, it was more to showcase

them. The show was a success,but Rotariu isnt sure i they willbe back again next year.

Well see. It was a little bittougher or us to host a showthere because were rom Lang-don, and (most o) the other bands are rom Calgary so itstough to get people to Strathmore,but it went pretty well though orus, said Rotariu. Each band had45 minutes on the stage, with EndSilence and Silo playing as long asthey wanted. Most o the groupsare high school bands, and theyamazed the crowd with their tal-ent.



Metal enthusiasts got their fll at Band Wars


Band Wars took place at the Civic Centre on April 23. Five different bands performed,

impressing some of the partygoers. t was an all age event with plenty of moshing.

H pv p rom

pp ufc ppakes painting orts WorthwhileWhen compared to painting, surace preparation can be tedious,

but proper prep will make or break your exterior painting project.

The frst step should be a thorough inspection o your homes

exterior, checking or peeling paint, dirt, grease, cracks, knots,

rusty nail heads, bare areas and mildew.

Scrape all suraces clean o peeling paint and rust. Remove oil,

grease and dirt by washing with TSP Plus which is recommended

or washing paint. To remove mildew wash area with a solution o

1 part bleach, 3 parts water and let sit or 5 minutes then rinse.

Cracks in siding or open joints between building materials should

be caulked, and unpainted suraces should be primed beore caulk-

ing. You can use mineral spirits to remove resin i siding has bleed-

ing wood knots. Then seal these spots with special knot sealer.

Sand rusty nail heads, then sink them slightly below the surace

with a hammer and nail punch. Apply corrosion-resistant primer

over the nail head, add putty or exterior spackle, and sand inecessary or a smooth fnish.

Bare areas should be spot primed. Even i the siding is actory

primed, spot priming will be necessary on bare or rusted areas.

Minor scratches, dents and raw edges should be flled, eather

sanded and spot primed.

Its oten been said that painting is a breeze - its the surace prep

that takes the most time and eort. Without the prep, however, your

painting eorts are virtually worthless. With the proper prep, youll

be rewarded by a beautiul paint job that will last or years.

Libraries can be considered dusty, old placeslled with books and not much to do. Jennifer

Young, Library Technician at Crowther Memorial Junior High, CMJH, is trying to change that out-look.

Were trying to do thingsin the library, weve

made a lot of changes there this year, just to keepit current and interesting, said Young.

Most people think of libraries as this big roomwith dusty books in it, and were really trying tochange that.

Once or twice a month she tries to bring in dif-ferent people within the community to speak tothe kids. Young had contacted Aviva BelHarold,

who had done some author readings at the schoolbefore, about bringing her back to the school overlunch hour to talk about her new book. BelHaroldtold Young she would go one better and bring a

few of her colleagues with her. Derek Donais, Jo-Anne Sieppert, Arnold Henry and Tracy Blaine willall be the rst, hopefully annual, Authors Evening.

Its just a fun evening. Its four authors and aneditor who are coming. I believe most of them areself-published, said Young,

So theyre just talking about their books, and theself publishing route, and the editor is going to talkabout what needs to be done and stuff like that.

Young said this time they are bringing in all localauthors but next time may try to bring in authorsfrom out of town. The authors range from teen c-tion to fantasy, and Young said it promises to be afun evening. Most of them will have their books forsale, and Young is hoping for a group of 30 people.

Anybody is welcome, parents, students, anyoneinterested in writing themselves, are all welcome as

well, said Stephanie Koller, who is helping orga-nize the evening.The Author evening begins at 7 p.m. in the CMJH

library on May 11.

Through her position with WesternStorage, one woman has decided to helpa lesser-known organization in theirtime of need.

Christy Bangen works closely with Al-berta Association for Community Living,AACL, and their Alberta Community Liv-ing Foundation, ACLF, and has realizedthey are in need of help.

Its sort of been a rough time lately.Seasonally, I mean the weather certainlyplays a role, said Shawn Ergang, who isthe COO of the AACL and in charge ofthe ACLF.

Typically by this time of year we seea large spike in donations, just as peopleget into their garages and get outside,and start doing their yard work. Basi-cally the spring cleaning phenomena,

which has been pushed back, sort of re-peatedly, based on weather.Another factor is an increasing need,

and there is plenty of competition forthe donations. The ACLF utilizes West-ern Storage trailers for the storage and

A change to utility rates wasproposed at the regular councilmeeting on April 20. The changes

would see the monthly convey-ance and maintenance charges godown by 50 per cent. The potable

water charge would be revisedto $1.60 for usage up to 30 cu-

bic metres per month, and every-thing beyond would be charged$1.65. The proposal was initiatedto conserve water. Forty-nine percent of the bills in town use 11cubic metres or less per month,and for people who use approxi-mately 22 cubic metres, it should

be an increase of $10 per monthon their utility bill. CouncillorEarl Best voiced his concerns thatlarge families would be penalized

by the changes, and was opposedto the motion, forcing it to come

back at a later date.On April 26, a special meeting

was called to order to give thirdand nal reading to the UtilityRates and Penalties bylaw. Coun-cillors Bob Sobol and Best wereunable to attend the meeting.

The reason for this meeting re-lates to our utility rates and pen-alties bylaw that we had on theoor at our last council meeting.

There was one councillor whovoted twice in a row, and voted athird time no, and he has a rightto do that. I also would like tosay that in the audience of coop-

eration those things shouldnt bedone, said Mayor Steve Grajczyk.

Its ok to have your own voiceand opinion and vote the way you

want to vote, but when you knowsix are going to vote anyway forit, and its going to pass regard-less, and youre demanding a spe-cial meeting is what I call a sand-

box vote. Its not a mature vote,and I think it is absolutely deplor-able that they take those liberties

when you could have possiblycost the town $30,000 to $50,000in utility income for that periodof time.

If council had waited until thenext council meeting, it wouldhave been too late to charge thenew rates on the next utility bill.For the two month utility bill peo-ple would have been charged theold rate, which would have costthe town $30,000 to $50,000.

taxi bylaw to be assessed

Martin DePeuter of Strathmore

Economy Taxi spoke to councilon April 20, revisiting the taxi by-laws approved November 2008.

We have a taxi bylaw here inthe town of Strathmore that, inmy opinion, doesnt cover half of

what needs to be covered, saidDePeuter.

Some of the concerns broughtup involve vehicle maintenance,the renewal of permits and down-sizing the number of people al-lowed in a taxi. Another concernhe brought up is the permits all

drivers are required to carry, usu-ally placed on the dash. DePeuter

would like to see the permits asa badge pinned to the lapel, withnames and information listed onthe back, where passengers canteasily see it. Council accepted De-Peuters presentation as informa-tion to be sent to the bylaw ofce

for further assessment.

Ridge Road

On April 6, council directedadministration to set up a capital

budget for repairs along RidgeRoad. On April 20, Jesse Parker,Director of Engineering and Op-erations for the town, presentedthe proposed capital budget forapproval. Using the 2009 AECOMreport as a basis for coming up

with a capital budget, Parker de-termines it will cost approximate-ly $2.25 million. He said approxi-mately 2 million for project costs,

with the remaining $250,000 forthe engineering and contingency

cludes replacing aging under-ground utilities, installing a storm

water collection system, re-con-structing the road sub-structure,and surface work improvements.

The surface work improvementsinclude a curb, gutter and side-

walk. Parker estimates the side-walk could cost $300,000.

There was lengthy debate aboutensuring the road width remainsthe same, or wider. The sidewalk

Utility rates passed third and fnal readingwould be single sided, and isrecommended to help accom-modate some of the pedestri-an trafc accessing the busi-nesses. There is money available

proved the additional capital budget for the reconstructionof Ridge Road, and it will now

be going to tender.

iRRigation committee

Council accepted the reportand nal recommendationsfrom the irrigation committee.

We had much discussionon thisand Im not to sure

weve come to a conclusion,said Mayor Steve Grajczyk.

Councillor Bob Sobol saidhe was disappointed by therecommendations by thecommittee, as he was expect-ing a more long-term plan as

to how the system could besaved. He stated he could notsupport the committees rec-ommendation, and is not in

favour of re-instating the sys-tem on a trial basis. CouncillorRocky Blokland said it doesntmake nancial sense to bringthe system back.

Out of the potential 627 us-ers only 94 signed up. BothCouncillor Pat Fule and Coun-cillor Dave Hamilton are in

favour of bringing the systemback, as long as it is user pay.Councillor John Rempel saidhe believes irrigation shouldcontinue on and would like tostart conserving potable wa-ter for what it is intended for.Rempel continued on to saythat it is ludicrous to use treat-ed water on lawns, and thatno one can convince him thatirrigation is not the way to go.

Councillor Earl Best said hehas always been in favour ofirrigation but would like tosee a budget before makinga decision. Grajczyk agreed

with Best, and the discussion

was adjourned until May 4,when more information and a budget can be brought forthfor council to go through.

Bisons dish out the hardwareMario Prusina

Times Editor

The UFA Bisons capped offtheir 2010-2011 season on April21, when they hosted their an-nual awards banquet at theStrathmore Civic Centre.

Flanked by family and friends,the players were honoured fortheir efforts during this pastseason, where they made it allthe way to the South DivisionChampionship series.After taking six weeks to di-

gest the loss, Bisons head coachParry Shockey deemed the sea-son a success.

It was as good as it gets, saidShockey with pride. Everyonemeasures a season on wins andlosses and that sort of thing,(but) personally as a coachingstaff, we measure it on a devel-opment of players. I think a lotof these kids will have a chance

to play at the next level.Thats how success is mea-

sured.Shockley said it was a privi-

lege to work with elite athletesand very satisfying to see theirdevelopment over the course ofthe season.

He is specically excited tosee what the future holds forhis players.

When the season is over, Iget to go from being a coach tobeing a fan, said Shockey. Sothats where we go now to seethese guys move on. Whetherits in hockey or (not). Ive hadguys come back to (visit) me who are stockbrokers, lawyersand stuff like that. Thats impor-tant (to me).According to Shockey, it was

difcult to make the award se-lections this season. That isbecause his team was well bal-anced from front to back.

I think every player contrib-uted to the success of our hock-ey club, said Shockey. Thenames on those awards, wecould have moved them arounda lot of different ways. The Bisons named Simon

Philp as the Most ImprovedPlayer, while his brother Luketook home the honour of beingthe Leading Scorer. Sam John-son was selected as the Rookieof the Year and Connor Chartierwas selected as the teams MostValuable Player.

Sam McKechnie was theHardest Working Bison, whileShayne Gwinner was award-ed the Top Defenceman. TheDedication, Perseverance &Sportsmanship went to CarsonMcCormick and George Merikwas awarded the Ron EbbesenMemorial Scholarship and the AMHL Scholarship, given outby the league.

The UFA Bisons hosted their annual awards banquet April 21 at the Strathmore Civic Centre. Assistant coaches Jeremy Friesen

(l), Cody Leavitt and coach Parry Shockey made the presentation to the award winners.

Expanded league makesRockies extinctMario Prusina

Times Editor

The merger of the West-ern Womens HockeyLeague into the Canadian Womens Hockey Leaguehas dissolved the Strath-more Rockies franchise. The WWHL, which con-

sisted of teams from Strath-more, Edmonton, Manitoba,Minnesota and the dormant

Calgary Oval Extreme fran-chise, will essentially combine its top players andcreate an Alberta team thatwill compete in the CWHLbeginning this fall.

The expansion into west-ern Canada will make theleague North Americaslargest professionally runelite womens league.

Rockies general managerand team founder, Saman-tha Holmes-Domagala,joined the CWHL in a spon-sorship role and is excitedabout the move.

I think that when wemade this decision I madethis decision along with therest of the owners from theWWHL that were kind ofat a crossroads with what isgoing to happen next withwomens hockey at our lev-el, said Holmes-Domagala.The CWHL has done afabulous job with provid-ing that high calibre of playwith lots of parity. We justfeel that it will work outbest for womens hockey asa whole.

Its unfortunate for theRockies and the other

teams in the WWHL, butthose elite players will stillhave a place to play inWestern Canada.

The new team will sharetheir home games withfans across the provinceby playing in various are-nas, such as the StrathmoreFamily Centre, among oth-ers.

Currently, the CWHL hasteams in Boston, Bramp-ton, Burlington, Montrealand Toronto.

This is a momentous an-nouncement for elite wom-

ens hockey in Canada andacross North America, saidBrenda Andress, ExecutiveDirector of the CWHL, ina release. We are thrilledabout the popularity of womens hockey and areproud to add a new teamto our roster, offering newopportunities for North American women to playhockey. According to Holmes-

Domagala, the merger hasbeen in the works for abouta year and will help thesport grow in the future.

By combining the eliteplayers from western Cana-da, it truly creates a profes-sional league with the bestplayers in North America. With Strathmores team

ofcially gone, Holmes-Domagala is not sure howshe will react when hockeystarts up again in the fall.

I havent thought aboutit its probably going tobe tougher for me once theseason comes and there is

no Rockies, she said. Istarted the Rockies to (cre-ate) something bigger andbetter for womens hockey,so this is not really ending,its just evolving in a differ-ent form.

The tears will probablycome in August-September when we would normallyhave our camp, but rightnow, its just an excitingthing for womens hock-ey to have all of the eliteteams under one league.The Rockies, who spent

a handful of seasons in

Strathmore, are grateful forthe chance to call the townhome.

Weve had a lot of sup-port the Town of Strath-more itself was the reasonwe were able to hang ourhats there, said Holmes-Domagala. Everyone atthe rink, our fans, werereally supportive. The oth-er teams, the WheatlandKings, the Bisons, minorhockey everybody reallymade it happen for us. Wethank them very much foreverything.

enthusiastic Frenchman into their home.We met Jean through a mutual friend

in the Cayman Islands, Debi Boddenoriginally from Beisiker, said DarlenePiche.

She had moved down to the island,and we became very good friends. Shehas since moved to Australia. She con-

tacted me through Facebook back inJanuary and told us about Jean walkingaround the world.

Bodden had met up with Beliveau inEcuador roughly in 2002, while he was

walking, and she was biking, throughSouth America. Boddenspent the day with him andhas kept in touch with himever since.

Debi asked if we wouldbe interested in lodging himfor an evening, on this, thelast leg of his journey backto his home in Montreal,said Piche. We checkedout his web page, wwwalk.

org, contacted his wife Luceand made sure our namewas on the list to host Jeanin our home for an evening.

We were very fortunateto have bad weather hit us, and I dontsay that too often as, like everyone else,I am tired of winter...but it did give ustwo extra days hosting Jean, which wastremendous.

Another four thousand something ki-lometres to go. Nearly now Im (done)about 20 per cent of Canada, said Be-liveau.

Beliveau has been gone from homefor more than a decade, which did costhim some things. His father passedaway while he was in Belgium, and he

has two grandkids-one is 10 years oldand the other is ve. He said he is look-ing forward to seeing them. His wife,Luce, would travel to see him for three

weeks every year, and Beliveau said theInternet was a great way for them tokeep in touch.

It was very important for us, withoutInternet I dont think we would passthrough, said Beliveau.

He said there could be all sort of situ-ations, and sometimes life is not easy,especially if youre in a negative way,

but he said this was a positive trip, andhe thinks that is part of what made a bigdifference. His dream was to cross theve continents, which he did. Thoughhe wanted to travel around the whole

world, there were a few places he couldnot go, due to safety or other concerns.

Africa was another nice challenge.Most of the people were very nice withme. I arrived to tribe to ask for hospital-ity to sleep. They bring you to the chief,they take time for you, said Beliveau.

He left with only $4,000, which heknew was not enough, but said he hadto go. He said in America people weresupportive and he was given money,he had some help from his family. InChili he was also given nancial help.He was given many free boat trips, andights, to aid with his travels to the des-tinations he couldnt walk to.

At rst I didnt speak English, so I

learn on the way. Then Spanish, andPortuguese, and some Arabic, said Be-liveau, his French accent still thick.

In countries, I had to put peoplecomfortable on me. Im like sort ofstranger to them, so its very importantto learn hello, how are you in their lan-guage, and then slowly talk away.

Sometimes I feel what I do for peacereally is sort of action (that) will createreaction, and I go to share about whatI learn to schools or groups or socialgroups.

Beliveau said he would sometimes gosix days with no resources in between.He could carry 30 litres of water in hisstroller. His consummation was approx-imately 10 litres per day.

Its a desire. When I started they said, yeah I would be pushed out by manyreasonable people. People they are in

the box and they achieved their life.They have their values, their good bankaccount. They are so apart so they willmaybe push but I had to go, said Be-liveau.

He said he met many people whohave the desire to do some-thing, or to escape but havefamilies or they have workholding them back.

I feel its sort of pilgrim-age. Im not religious, but

we always want to nd whowe are, and try to see about bearings, emotional bear-ings, and the more people

we know the more healthy

we may be about mind.Beliveau left with anagenda, and a schedule ofhow many kilometres heplanned to follow per day.

No two days were ever the same. He ispushing his third stroller since begin-ning the trip, and is now on his 51stpair of shoes.While most of the trip was exciting,

there were times that were scary, andpeople would tell him about zones thatmay be high risk. He said in Philadel-phia a guy told him to hurry and go 10kilometres further, and not to look atanyone.

In South Africa Beliveau said he hada little attack. Two guys were drunk and

trying to get his things, he had policepatrolling him but they werent there atthe time of the attack. He said they keptstruggling and he told the men police

were coming, and they nally gave up.He said he met people involved with

Pablo Escobar, the KGB, the CIA and Fi-del Castro.

They were nice for me. I dont judge,I stay with hope sort of people, we arehumanity, sort of see the other side,said Beliveau.

Sometimes we say, oh these peoplethey are corrupt, they are this, and that.I stay with them and they serve anothersort of people. There is no perfection inthe world, we have to care our world forthe children.

Beliveau admits to being satisednow, and ready to get home. When herst arrived in Vancouver his wife wasthere to greet him, and he said it wassuch a warm welcome.

Yeah sure, I look there further athome, but I have to live every singlemoment of my walk through Canada,said Beliveau.

Im proud to bring that walk throughCanada.

October 16 is the day he plans to behome, and said it will be a Sunday forthe party. After he arrives home, heplans to be with the family until Christ-mas, after which he plans to work onhis book about his travels and possibly

do conferences. Beliveau said his trav-els were like his university, with all ofthe learning he did.

Beliveau left Strathmore on the morn-ing of April 16 and stayed with friendsof Piches in Bassano, and was in Brooksthe next night staying with more friendsof theirs. Piche said they were all ex-cited to have the opportunity to meetBeliveau. To read previous blogs about Be-

liveaus travels or to nd out how thingsare currently going, go to wwwalk.org.

Times Reporter

Some people have called him crazy,others wish they could take off like hehas, and Jean Beliveau admits it all mayhave stemmed from a midlife crisis. Be-liveaus name is well known all over the

world, as the man who literally walkedthe world.

I needed to change something in mylife and then, I walk about, said Be-liveau with a laugh.

It began on August 18, 2000, the daythe Quebec native turned 45-years-old.He packed up a three-wheel stroller,a tent, supplies and left. Beliveau hadkept the secret of what he was planningto do for eight months, only telling his

wife and family a few weeks before heleft.

After eight month secret, I didnt tellher because I was afraid thatpeoplethey love you, they have time to break

your dream, said Beliveau.

It was too fragile, I told them justthree and a half weeks to go and thennally she said we try. She said do thisfor peace.Which is exactly what he did. He fol-

lowed the theme of the United Nationsdelegate for peace for children.

Now its nearly nished, I say alwaysIm on the driveway home, said Be-liveau.

These Canadians, they are so warm.From Vancouver, I had chain all the waythrough the mountains to stay inside.

On April 12, one Strathmore familyhelped continue the chain, allowing the

11 year trip coming to an end
