With continued growth in enrollment numbers but declining space in schools, Golden Hills School Division (GHSD) is looking at ways to see a new school come to Strathmore. There are eight schools in town, all of which have been doing well and are continuously improving, but all of which are also quickly running out of space. Growth brings renewal, brings additional funding, addition taxation base and is good in many ways but it also brings challenges when it comes to finding space for the increase in students. The additional students ultimately results in better programming for kids and so were very pleased to see that happen. We have worked hard in our school district over the last number of years to provide high quality academic programs, enhance programs in other ways and we have focused on developing connected, collaborative graduates who are tech savvy and who are creative problem solvers, said Bevan Daverne, superintendent of schools for GHSD. In Strathmore the schools are in a constant cycle of renovation and addition to provide the space needed. At Crowther Memorial Junior High, they are now officially out of space to add portables. Wheatland Elementary has portables, now called modular classrooms, coming and with the addition of those they will be close to out of space there. Westmount Elementary has approximately 500 students and is bursting at the seams. The school has been renovated numerous times and modular classrooms will be added later in the year, but the school will quickly run out of space. There are plans at Brentwood Elementary to add more modular classrooms as well. Trinity Christian Academy is not housed in a GHSD building. It is currently leasing space and there have been changes with lease support, said Daverne. At some point the school will require its own building, but for now the school is continuously renovated to provide space. The division has been working with administration to try to find a site for a new school in town. While there are challenges for school space, there are also challenges for recreational facilities in town, said Daverne, which was part of why he and chair David Price made a presentation before council at the Sept. 18 meeting. All our facilities are booked flat out basically 24/7 throughout the school year as a result of demand across the community. We understand that many of you get calls for additional recreation space in the community and certainly within the Quality of Life master plan that you had done there was some mention of providing additional space in there as well, said Daverne.

Capsule Comments
During a stay in hospital, your medications may be changed and some older medications may be stopped. Its important to be sure to not take these medications when you get home. Part of our job as your pharmacist is to be a final check to ensure this transition from hospital to home occurs smoothly. Many admissions to hospital are due to a medication problem...not taking them properly, taking too much or too little or due to a drug interaction. Having a complete record of your medications helps us to ensure youre taking your medications correctly and safely. A vasectomy is still one of the best birth control methods. A minor operation using a local anaesthetic, it involves severing the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the penis. The operation doesnt result in immediate sterility so alternate birth control methods should still be used. No sexual difficulties result from the operation however it doesnt protect against sexually-transmitted diseases. Weve mentioned the polypill in this column in the past. Its a drug delivery system that combines 4 drugs in one pill for patients with heart disease. The pill contains ASA, a cholesterol-lowering drug and one or two blood pressure-lowering drugs. Its a way of ensuring the patient gets all the medication needed to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Not on the market yet, but perhaps soon. Understanding how a drug works and its importance to your health will help you remember to take them correctly. We can help.

Sharon McLeay Times Contributor The possibility of video conference participation for council meetings got a wait-and-see response from Wheatland Council, with most preferring to be present for meetings if possible. The idea was part of the Procedural Bylaw that came up for first reading on Sept. 17, 2013. I have a problem with councillors missing two or three meetings and attending council while they are in Hawaii or something, said Councillor Brenda Knight. Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Alan Parkin shared that other municipalities used the option; however the practise isnt currently wide spread. He said he was aware of one municipality where a councillor who worked shifts in Fort McMurray, and another that was a snowbird and travelled in the winter, had used the technology successfully. In the past, telephoneconnected discussions had many technical problems, but with new technology offsite participation links can be quite good. The times are changing folks, said Councillor Ken Sauve. The communication system is key. If I had the choice of attending this way or not, I would take the opportunity that allowed me to participate in the meetings. If someone represented me, I would want them there. With new technology being installed in the council chambers upgrade, the option might allow councillors to save mileage and increase possibilities for meetings where travel time was a factor in postponing meetings. Councillor Ben Armstrong could see the option had practical uses in multi-membered committee meetings such as SAEWA. There was discussion that it may be practical when road conditions prohibited travel.
Participants dont get engaged the same way, said Councillor Alice Booth, who had experienced the video conferencing within the Canadian Badlands meetings. When they vote me in, they expect me to be here physically doing my job. My job is to be here. You get better communication face-to-face, said Councillor Don Vander Velde. Reeve Glenn Koester said that some municipalities require a physical quorum of members present for the option to be used. He thought discussing the idea is premature now, but once the new electronic system was installed, the option could be reviewed again. Councillor Berniece Bland suggested it be left until after the election in October. Another procedure of the bylaw was discussed, concerning whether the council chair should have the right to close public hearings early and set a later date to reopen the public hearing. It is used in case the hearing goes into later hours. Sometimes people cant concentrate and it allows you to recess and set it at a later date, said Parkin. Reeve Glenn Koester suggested that giving one person the power to make that decision puts a lot of pressure on them. He also wanted the public to know that decisions were made by council as a whole. In the past, council has taken a break during public hearings for more information or clarification. Councillor Ben Armstrong suggested council use the Municipal Government Act as a reference, which provides structures for council to use. It also gives the public knowledge of council processes and protects councils from missing something or dealing with challenge situations. Council directed staff to revise the Procedural bylaw and bring it back for their review.

consider the welfare and interests of the municipality as a whole; participate generally in developing and evaluating policies and programs; participate in meetings; obtain information from the CAO; and keep in confidence matters discussed in private. Under the MGA, the primary responsibility of council is to establish the policies and guidance necessary to carry out these policies. Council is the legislative body; its members are the communitys decision makers. The CAO serves the council and the community in carrying out policies and overseeing the delivery of municipal services, serves as the professional administrator of the municipality and is responsible for coordinating all day-to-day operations and administration. These duties include personnel and labor relations, administration of the municipal budget, intergovernmental relations and organizing the implementation of the councils policy, etc. The CAO also serves as the chief advisor to the council.
Noise concerns
To the Editor We, the residents of Strathmore are gearing up for another election. An issue which is becoming a major concern for many residents is noise pollution. After discussing this issue with Dwight Stanford, he assured me Strathmore has a noise by-law. My reply was when is this by-law going to be enforced? We live in Lambert Village, which is located across the street from Kinsmen Park. A great location, except that the hot rods and motorbikes spoil a peaceful environment with their very loud noises. They seem to feel they must race up this street at great speeds, making as much noise as possible with their noisy mufflers. This happens most nights, especially shortly after 10 p.m. till midnight. An easy solution would be to install a speed bump along this street in front of Lambert Village. Many other towns have solved this problem by installing speed bumps. Walmart and Sobeys in Strathmore have installed them with satisfaction. The councilors who are willing to tackle the noise pollution problem in this town would certainly get my vote.

Hello! With the introduction of the four-year term for mayor and council, there should be a mandatory checks and balances program halfway through the term to ensure transpar-
ency and accountability. This could be accomplished through public forums, or open houses where the public can participate and raise issues or ask questions. The general idea is that if there are any critical issues or concerns, council will have another two years to address these matters. This will accomplish two things; one, councillors will know how they are doing; and two, the public will have a voice and will know that the council they elect are complying with Part 5, Division 3 of the MGA which deals with the duties, titles and oaths of councillors.

Fortunately our town employs a phenomenal staff, including an award winning CAO, who is adept at teaching councillors the finer points of the act when necessary. There are however three general areas where I am confident improvements could be made; section 199, which governs conditions under which meetings are held, could be modified to encompass digital media that would allow for councillor and public attendance when they are not able to be physically present in chambers. This expands into areas where council is required to post notices in newspapers; this could also be done on websites and in other media venues. Sections 219 to 226 outline rules for petitions; adapting and transforming these sections to allow for on-line petitions would allow for a greater level of participatory government. Section 275.1 summarizes the conditions for remuneration for councillors; I believe that no government official, federal, provincial or municipal, should be allowed to vote for their remuneration, nor should they be entitled to appoint committees for this purpose. An independent third party would be better suited to determining remuneration for publically elected officials. I welcome comments and insight from all Strathmore citizens. Phone: 403-934-3635: Email 2pine@ telus.net.

I firmly believe that the Municipal Government Act should be structured and regulated by the provincial government as to maintain its integrity and therefore governed and enforceable by the provincial government. The Strathmore Municipal Government, Strathmore Town Administration and the citizens of
Strathmore (and all Albertans) have the ability and right to make suggestions to the provincial government to revise or maintain the current Municipal Government Act Legislation. I personally do not feel at this time there is any need to revise or alter the Municipal Government Act from its current wording in the legislation. Furthermore, I do not see the relevance of this question as it pertains to the 2013 Election. There are serious questions on the minds of the voters that deserve answers. I will be available to comment on any of those issues if you the voter wish to contact me. We Are All In This Together! www. johnmwhieldon.com

Being one of Albertas largest pieces of legislation, the Municipal Government Act (MGA) can be a daunting piece of work for anyone unfamiliar with it. Containing 18 Parts and over 650 sections it is no wonder that the province expects it to take three years for the
John Rempel
Emergency Services continue to be very costly for municipalities, particularly when the province continually downloads responsibility to municipalities. When new development occurs, there should be more
consideration for responsibility for costs for protective services; for example, if developers were required to partner with each other, for the dedication of a small area of land, and pay towards the upfront capital costs for a protective services building through a cost sharing agreement, where the developers, the municipality and the province each pay a portion of the upfront costs, this would be more equitable to our current population, (with the understanding that the taxpayers will be responsible for operating costs in the future).
review to be completed. The MGA has not been reviewed for 17 years. It is clear that many things have changed over the past 17 years, therefore there are surely many changes and additions that can be made to help keep pace with our ever-evolving province. As for specifics, however, I cannot pretend to know where I am, in reality, ignorant. Necessary changes and additions should be left to those who are familiar with the act, those who work amidst it and know what does and does not work. As for myself, I am eager to become more familiar with the act and to see what the future holds after its review is done.
Doug Clarke
The Municipal Governance Act is a huge piece of legislation. The Alberta Government is in the process of reviewing three main parts of the act; Governance, Planning and Development, Property Assessment and Taxation. While I could go in a number of directions, I thought I might look outside the box for an answer. I should start by mentioning that an often-discussed complaint I share with many residents is the smell we regularly encounter
Allan Auger
The Municipal Government Act, since being reformed back in 1994 has allowed local governments to be freer to act in the best interests of their communities. Municipal Governments in Alberta are responsible for delivering specific services such as police, fire and emergency services as well as solid waste, water and parks and recreation. As nice as it is to be able to prioritize how our local tax dollars are spent, we still find ourselves short of the funds needed to repair local infrastructure but in being able to build new infrastructure such as recreational facilities, road works or even special projects which would enhance
the community, such as a local museum without having to look to the provincial government for short term funding or having to go into debt. The Alberta Urban Municipalities Association laid out a Municipal Funding Framework to the provincial government on Feb. 12, 2012. Basically, as a community we do not have direct control over tax dollars collected in our municipalities. With the proposed funding framework each municipality would be able to have better access to tax dollars collected locally and distribute them where they feel they are needed most. So even though as a municipality we can govern more freely, we are still dependant on the provincial government for a great deal of funding with our own tax dollars. The change in the MGA I would like to see, is the ability for local governments to be able to allocate tax dollars as they think they are needed without reliance on provincial funding or by carrying a huge debt load.
from one or all of the feedlots that surround our town. I would ask that the government review Part 2 Division 1(7) and Division 2(12) of the act. This relates to a municipalities ability to enforce its bylaws outside of their designated boundaries. If Strathmore were to adopt or amend a bylaw that includes noxious odors, feedlot operators may need to find ways to lessen their impact on the surrounding town. Checking wind direction, day of the week, or time of day prior to fouling the air could be mandated. This change to our bylaw jurisdiction may be applied in other situations like smoke from controlled fires. The bylaw(s) would need to be carefully worded to ensure its only intent was to lookout for the well being of citizens. For more discussion, check me out on Facebook.com/Electdougc.
Brad Walls
I would like to see the MGA revised under Part 17 Planning and Development. One change I would like to see would be seeing the
developers help by contributing to the building of fire halls. This would take some of the financial burden off the town and continue to ensure that we have adequate emergency services to protect our citizens and our town. I would also like to see the developers assist with recreational facilities. Again this would assist the town with the financial burden of building the recreational facilities and continue to keep our citizens healthy and promoting a family orientated community.
Pat Fule
Currently, under the MGA, developers dont have any responsibility to contribute any costs toward parks and green spaces apart from what is allocated to Municipal Reserve Land and landscaping. I would like the Act to change so that the developer has to help with
up front capital costs like playgrounds and soccer fields. On the topic of changing an act, I would like to see the Municipal Elections Act change so that people with criminal records are not eligible to run for office. As well, I think there should be a local by-law change so that a potential candidate must have more than five signatures to be able to run. As a town of over 10,000, we are allowed to increase this number up to 100. Perhaps a number of 50 signatures would ensure all candidates are serious, and have support, before they can run. Thank you, Pat Fule.
Robert Antonisse
I have read through some of the Municipal Government Act and from what I have read it seems to be well put together and easy to translate and retrieve relevant information. As of yet, I have not had to utilize the MGA so it would be hard for me to suggest any changes or additions. I will, however, state that there may be some situations or issues
that Strathmore will face that I dont currently know all the information. I can promise that I will do whatever it takes to learn everything that I can to make the most sound and best decisions for Strathmore. As a town councillor, it is our responsibility to represent the people of Strathmore and make those decisions based on that responsibility. I am going to make myself as accessible as possible so everyone can voice their opinions and be heard. Whether it be in person one on one or through social media, it is important that every citizens opinion be considered. I have a passion for learning and I look forward to conversing with everyone in the near future. Thank You
Steve Grajczyk
The MGA is a legal document designed for municipalities to use as their governance that is almost 400 pages of rules and regulations. It is a somewhat complex document and it is up for interpretations in many areas. It is my opinion that it is a document to be used as guidance only. It states at beginning of the book that it is reminded that it has no legislative sanction. Towns do not own their roads, (this means all roads including alleyways), however,
Bob Sobol
One area that I would like to see changed in the Municipal Government Act deals with is linear assessment (referring to taxes received from oil and gas wells, petroleum pipelines, and finally electric power, telecommunication and cable television systems). As most of these systems are found in rural
areas, all taxes go to the rural municipality. This has created a severe imbalance in tax incomes most often to the detriment of various towns and cities located within counties or municipal districts. Our own town sees about one per cent of the total industrial tax base in Wheatland County. I believe a more equitable system must be brought in by the Municipal Government Act and note that some municipalities have actually amalgamated to deal with the sharing of linear assessment income (for example, Fort MacMurray ceased being a city in 1995 and became a hamlet within the Regional District of Wood Buffalo).
Michael Ell
One improvement I would consider to the Municipal Government Act is within Section 275.1 Expense Allowance. I would add a subsection that stipulates amounts paid to councillors for expenses must be publicly reported by name of councillor, amount paid and reason for the expense. Presently any expenses paid to councillors in Strathmore do not provide any details and are included
as a lump sum in the towns financial statement under legislative. Strathmore citizens do not have any details on amounts claimed as expenses by the current council. A second improvement to the act would be to prevent councillors from approving their own raise. The MGA should stipulate any increase in remuneration will not take effect during the term of the current council. As an example, the current council approved their raise three years ago and the increase was immediate. If you elect me as your mayor I will lobby for these changes at the first AUMA I attend. I am bringing these changes forward and I would like to hear your thoughts. E-mail me at mikeell2013@ gmail.com
Mark Giesbrecht
This is a very important question. The Municipal Government Act is a very large and comprehensive piece of legislation containing
18 distinct parts and 650 sections. One of the most important issues with regards to the act would be Strathmores status as a town or a city. I believe Strathmore should become a city as this would aid in economic and retail development. This would also impact how elections are handled. Strathmore would have to consider establishing specific wards of the municipality and councilors would then run and represent specific regions. I think this moves democracy forward.
Village of Rockyford
where their dollars are being spent. There is a growing need to understand why our taxes go up every year, why certain projects happen before other projects that are perceive as more important or urgent. Meeting minutes should be posted, online for those with Internet access and in public view for those who dont have access to the Internet. Any bylaw that is changed should be communicated to the public so they are not surprised when they are either in violation of a bylaw or when they go to pay fees that have gone up without notice. Recently the dog license fee has gone from $10 annually to $25 annually, thats an increase of 150 per cent without informing the constituents of Rockyford. I think if there were an addition to the MGA (Municipal Government Act) in respect to transparency, we would ensure the public is well informed of all things important to them.
would like to see would be to the advertising of public meetings. With all the different types of social media and print there are plenty of ways to advertise for meetings. Having minutes available on the Internet would also be a good idea so that everyone has access to them. Also, posting the agenda for upcoming meetings for the community to see would be a good addition to the advertising as it will allow members of the community to get involved. Granted, there are some ideas that have to be discussed behind closed doors, but others can be out in the open. The municipality plays a key role in providing the many services that impact people most in their day-to-day lives, so the community should be aware of any upcoming meetings so they can share their input.

About Greg: Im married with three children. My wife (Natalie DeSantis) and I have lived in Rockyford for 3.5 years now. I commute to Calgary everyday where I work for Shaw Communications as the Manager for the Incident Management team. In response to the question: something I do not see in the current Municipal Government Act transparency. I think its time for all local governments to be completely transparent with their actions and spending. With todays technology we are able to easily open the books for everyone to know

The Municipal Government Act (MGA) is such a large act; it is actually a book larger than the English dictionary. So this makes it almost impossible for village councillors to know and understand the whole MGA. As councillors who do not work full time as councillors whenever we have had to refer to the act we simply read the portion that pertains to our question or talk to our Village CAO who has a better working knowledge of the act. So without going into detail all I can say is that I hope the government doesnt forget about small town Alberta - that the government will allow villages to have input by keeping communication open. By the provincial government using municipalities as sounding boards hopefully changes made to the MGA will be positive for Albertans.

Tim Muir
About Tim: My wife and I have lived in Hussar for almost eight years. I grew up in a small town and appreciate the rural lifestyle. I am a dedicated family man, who takes every opportunity to share time with my children and my grandchildren. I have been employed for over 10 years at the Sheerness Coal Mine as a heavy equipment operator. Prior to my experience as a heavy equipment operator, I drove truck for twenty years, both as a driver and an owner/operator. I look forward
to serving the people of my community. Im new to municipal politics so Im not as familiar with the MGA as I would like to be. Its a huge piece of legislation that is going to take quite some time to become educated on. The Alberta Government will be meeting with the stake holders this fall right through to the spring, as I understand it, to come up with new and improved ways in which to improve the act. This is an exciting time and opportunity for towns and villages to have some real input on how our municipalities are governed. In my opinion, this is going to be some of the most important work a councilor will have to do for his community. I look forward to getting involved with the stakeholder consultation this fall and becoming a loud clear voice, championing for the village and community of Hussar. About Bruce: My name is Bruce Kaufman and I have been on council for six years serving as mayor for the last three years. I have enjoyed it very much and hope to have the opportunity to continue to serve the residents of the Village of Hussar. One change that I would like to see is for the government to modify the current act. The most important change or additional item that I would like to see is that the government would guarantee funding to the villages so that they can remain a viable operation. We rely on government support and funding to remain so.
Corey Fisher
About Corey: Hello my name is Corey Fisher. I reside in the Village of Hussar with my wife Michelle and our two beautiful children. I have just recently completed my EMT studies. I have also been serving my community as a volunteer firefighter for the past 17 years. The proposed act includes a part entitled How Can I Influence What My Municipality Does? This is an addition I would like to see. This part obliges a municipality to provide information
following the request of any person unless there is good reason for withholding information. The proposed act does specify when a good reason to withhold would arise but also states a municipality may release information when public interest consideration outweigh a reason for withholding it. There are also specific provisions allowing for petitions to amend or appeal a by-law or resolution or to pass a new by-law or resolution. Also the public is granted extensive petition powers, whereby they can petition a municipal council about any power, duty or function of the municipality. I believe this new part will allow for greater public participation in the municipal government process, which adds to greater transparency and hopefully get more of the public involved in their local municipal government.
Bruce Kaufman
The funding has to be of a level that would allow us to be successful well into the future. There should be at least a cost of living increase each year to support the villages, as cost increases are inevitable. Major needed projects should be allowed to be done in an appropriate time frame and not have to wait years to complete if ever. The changes that are being made today from costs being allowed to no longer falling under previous criteria. These changes are really hard on villages and cities that have very limited budgets. Thank you.

The Alberta Municipal Government Act has almost 500 pages of guidelines and definitions laid out for municipalities to follow. One of the more common arguments I hear are
ly then I believe the website will pay for itself over time. For smaller municipalities I would think a possible provincial website could host these postings and notices and maybe have a fee attached for the municipality to do a cost share. I dont feel we have an issue in the county on this issue because we are surrounded with the platform and the means to publish these documents. To be honest, the issue on publicly posting these notices must be very minuscule with all the other issues surrounding taxation, assessment, and planning and development. Over the next few
years with the help of open public forums I believe we will address the concerns of residents in the County of Wheatland. The MGA is a piece of legislation with many guidelines, some of which will be redrawn to account for the massive growth Alberta has felt in years past. The open public consultation and new document will take a couple years to draw up so I hope our residents will provide feedback to help us make changes understanding this piece of legislation will be implemented possibly for the next decade or two before being revised again.
Jacki Kirk
The Municipal Government Act spells out the powers and responsibilities of municipal governments in Alberta. The act itself, over 400 pages in length, is thorough. It is well organized and easily understood. The checks and balances one would expect to be in the act seem to be in place. While it is important that municipal councils and administrations consider the impact this act has on Albertans,

Colin Smith
The reason the Municipal Government Act is under review is to mostly bring it up to date. The MGA is what the councils and governing bodies all over the province have to follow in order to govern. I feel that this act is quite an important one. Such acts are not unfamiliar to me; for example, while volunteering with the RCMP for 11 years, there were numerous government acts that were necessary to follow. There are many reasons that an act may be changed: it may simply be renamed or reworded, or new laws may be added. A section of the MGA that I would like to see changed is the section regarding the way unsightly or dangerous premises (Order to remedy dangers and unsightly prop-
erty 546(0.1); if a property is neglected to the point that it is unsafe, or causes your property to lose its value (which does affect the community as a whole), this section of the MGA helps councillors and tax payers deal with it. The appeal process can be a lengthy, costly, and time consuming one. What I would like to see is the elimination of this appeal process for repeat offenders - the county would instead remediate the property immediately. This would allow a faster way for the issues to be dealt with. This county and its communities are beautiful, and this is a great area to live in - I aim to keep these communities safe and help encourage newcomers. Thank You.

Golden Hills School Division is such a diverse area. There are many pressing issues within the school division and each area of the division has different issues. But one issue, which is at the top of the pyramid so to speak, is programming. Programming is why students attend school where they do. Parents send their kids to the school that they feel
Corey Fisher
Golden Hills School Division has as many issues and concerns that match its size and diversity. I do not feel that any one issue is more important or more pressing than the next. An
issue in one area of the division may not seem like a concern for other areas but the decision made by the school board does affect all the students within the division. Being a parent with two school age children I am aware of how decisions made by the school board will impact them. I believe that by working alongside all stakeholders as a school board Trustee that the best possible decision will be made for all students. School board trustees are advocates for students, which will only be enhanced by input and support of stakeholders.

Were just working on fundamentals right now. If you work hard, youve got a chance. Speaking to that team effort, defenseman Philip Anderson left the game against Lethbridge, stating he had a headache following a hit in a scrum. Fraser, a forward, took over for Anderson. That really helped to just switch and make that change, MacDonald said. Guys are doing what they have to do to be successful right now. Its presumed Anderson has a concussion. Everyones very careful these days for hits to the head. So well see how he does this week, MacDonald said. In the next few days, athletic therapists will see how to proceed with their fallen defenseman, and when hell be ready. The Bisons are back in action this weekend when they host the Sherwood Park Kings (Oct. 5, 8 p.m.) and the MLAC Maple Leafs (Oct 6, 2 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre.

Aryssah Stankevitsch Times Reporter After suffering another 6-0 loss against Holy Trinity on Sept. 24, the Spartan varsity girls soccer team rallied for a 1-0 victory over Highwood High two days later.

Great support here by the fans lots of people came out. The girls just hustled, everywhere. They were on the ball all the time a really great effort by all of them.

Show will go on
Aryssah Stankevitsch Times Reporter After Junes floods swept into Calgary, the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium suddenly cancelled Expressions Dance Studios annual recital. On Oct. 5, 100 students finally get their chance to perform. They were so incredibly disappointed. The Jubilee cancelled such last minute didnt give us any warning or heads up, said Heather Thomas, owner and director of the studio. But theyre thrilled that they get to be at the Jubilee. Its a huge venue, and its so gorgeous. Its such a fabulous experience. Over 50 programs are available at the studio tap, ballet, lyrical, acrobatics, musical theatre, modern. Adult combo classes and team street jazz classes are also offered, with registration still ongoing. Into its 31st year, the dancers will be able to perform two shows this session, as this seasons recital is coming up as well. Weve been doing rehearsals, and back into doing last years routines, Thomas said. They have all these beautiful costumes that they get to wear that they didnt have a chance to use. Theyre super excited.

them in the championship. And as for that one Lacombe giant? Hit him every single time. I hope that works, he said. The peewees will travel to Red Deer on Oct. 5, while Strathmore High Schools (SHS) team stays at home to battle Crescent Heights High School at 2:30 p.m. The SHS Spartans lost an exhibition game against Chestermere on Sept. 24, 41-14, and again this past Saturday, 39-8 to Brooks. Were just trying to get some execution down, said Coach Carl Seafoot. Things are just starting to click. Not that Saturdays game was any reflection of that though I was almost thinking that was one of our worst games of the year. SHS is still looking for their first win of the year. Offensively especially against Brooks Seafoot said they just werent connecting. Most of the other games, you could always say, well, that was working, or that was working. But we didnt have much working at all in this one, he said. Were struggling out of the gate; letting the guys get a good jump on us. We always seem to be fighting out of the hole.

FRASER,
Ivy (nee. Hunter) October 6, 1915 to September 27, 2013
Ivy passed away peacefully at the Meadowlark Senior Care Home in Strathmore. She was born in Gleichen. Ivy is survived by her children, Marian Christensen, Judy (Walt) Schopfer, George/Bub Fraser (Kim), Deb (Wayne) Kube, son-in-law Sunny McMillan & 14 grandchildren & 14 great grandchildren. Ivy was predeceased by her husband of 65 years Tommy Fraser (2003); son-in-law Norman Christensen (1977); daughter-in-law Nancy Fraser (1993); and daughter Diane McMillan (2013). Ivy moved to Standard after her marriage in 1938. She was very active in the community for many years. Ivy was a good friend and many people enjoyed the warmth of her home. Numerous meals over the years were shared with whoever was there at mealtime. There was always enough food; always a pot of coffee and usually goodies for everyone who stopped by. In November, 2005, Ivy moved to the Strathmore Wheatland Lodge, and in June, 2011 to the Meadowlark Senior Care Home. A funeral service will be held on Monday, October 7, 2013 at Nazareth Lutheran Church (Standard) at 2:00 p.m., with Pastor Brad Everett officiating. Interment to follow at Standard Cemetery.

Warriors unbeaten
Aryssah Stankevitsch Times Reporter Four games into this season, the AA Wheatland Warriors have dominated their competition. The peewee Braves sit 1-2, and the midget Chiefs begin their season on Oct. 5 against the Taber Golden Suns. The Warriors first game of the year, Sept. 21 against the Badlands Longhorns, resulted in an 11-2 victory. Rylan Longmuir scored three, and added an assist, while Kyle Merkosky had a natural hat trick in the third period. Joel Krahenbil added two, while Brady Skiffington, Chayse Hnatowich, and Wacy Sandum had single goals. The next day the Warriors continued their streak, defeating the Red Deer Ramada 5-2 after going down 2-0 early in the game. Longmuir added another hat trick; Hnatowich continued his goal streak, and Ryan Bell contributed one of his own. On Sept. 28, the bantams beat out Cranbrook CPC, 9-3. Skiffington and Bell each had two. Other contributors were: Merkosky, Krahenbil, Cole Clayton, Robert Butterwick and Kaleb Jardine. The Southwest Rockies were at the Warriors mercy by a score of 8-1 on Sept. 29; Jardine added two, along with Hnatowich, Butterwick, Krahenbil and Merkosky. The AA Braves lost their first two (2-1 to the Airdrie Lightning on Sept. 21, and 4-2 to the Foothills Bisons the following day), but won by the latter score against the Medicine Hat Venom on Sept. 28. The losses against the Lightning and Bisons were particularly tough, as Hassan Akl scored at the end of the second but didnt have enough time to pull off the win against Airdrie; in the Foothills game, the peewee boys were originally winning 2-1, but the Bisons came back, scoring three in the third. Ryan Orford, Ethan Phan, Tarun Fizer and Eric Sandum scored against the Venom; Phan also added two assists with his goal. Both he and Fizer are on a two game goal streak.
