Online fundraising for the new Lions Re-gional Outdoor Rink officially kicked off on

Feb. 6. The rink, which will be located on theStrathmore and District Agricultural Societygrounds, is expected to cost approximately$368,700. To date just over $150,000 has been raised

towards the project, thanks to the StrathmoreLions donating $75,000, which was matchedin a grant from Alberta Culture through theirCommunity Facility Enhancement program.

“There’s a potential we’re actually going toreduce what our end cost is based on offersthat are being made by the public,” said RyanParkins, a volunteer board member with theproject.

Local businesses have offered in-kind services to help with the project, and “we havegot new corporate sponsors who have ex-

pressed interest recently, so there’s quite a bitof buzz about that.” The reasons for going online for fundrais-

ing are twofold. It helps create communityawareness while providing a place to whichpeople can contribute. It also allows peopleto see how much has been raised to date, andfind out more information about the project. The day the ‘gofundme’ page launched

3,000 people saw it. Since then it has beenshared 379 times across different social mediaoutlets.

Parkins said the fundraising efforts are two-pronged. The public one is through this onlinecampaign. Donations can also be dropped offat the town office. The second part of the fundraising effort is

members of the board are now approaching

corporate sponsors with a sponsorship pack-age. Depending on how fundraising effortsgo over the next little while, the board mayintroduce other fundraising avenues at a laterdate. The board also plans to continue apply-ing for additional grant funding to help lowerthe costs. The rink will be multi-use, free of charge

and accessible year round. It will be 80feet x 180feet built on a reinforced concreteslab, and will be maintained by the Town ofStrathmore under the Parks Department.

LAND USE TEXTUALAMENDMENT BYLAWS

The following Land Use Textual Amendment Bylaws will be presented to Council for consideration on March 4, 2015.

Public Hearing, March 4, 2015, 7:00 pm: Bylaw# 15-01 and Bylaw#

15-06 Textual Amendments to Land Use Bylaw 14-11. Summary ofAmendments are as follows:

Bylaw# 15-01• Corrects or addresses setbacks from a side property line for the

principal building in the following residential districts: R1N, R2X and R3.• Addresses Setbacks for Accessory Buildings

• Revises minimum lot widths for certain dwelling unit types inresidential districts

Setbacks from a side property line provide space between buildings

affecting their appearance and the overall appearance of thestreetscape while providing space for fire protection, access to rear

yards, sunlight penetration, air circulation, privacy, drainage, as wellas space for utilities and related matters. The LUB, as passed in

September of 2014, changed the setbacks for a principal building from aside property side in the R1N, R2X, and R3 districts. These setbacks are

currently 1.0 m which is viewed as a typographical error. This Bylawproposes a minimum setback of 1.5 m. Greater setbacks apply to taller

buildings and corner lots.Lot widths affect density and the overall appearance of a streetscape.The LUB currently allows 7.62m wide lots in both newly developing

areas and existing areas. This width is viewed as inappropriate in newsubdivisions recognizing that the Town wishes to retain elements of its

character.Bylaw# 15-06

Amend the Heading in section 3.26 Secondary Suites by removing the words Secondary Suites and replacing these words with “Garden

Suites”.

Section 3.26 Secondary Suites is amended by removing the heading,namely, Secondary Suites, and clauses 1. to 9. under this heading.

Remove Sections 4.1 (2) (b) (vi), 4.2 (2) (b) (vi), 4.3 (2) (b) (v), and 4.4 (2) (b)

(vii), “Secondary Suites” from the list of Discretionary Uses in the R1,R1N, R1S, and R2 Land Use Districts.

Remove the words “unless an approved secondary suite” from Sections

4.1 (3) (f), 4.2 (3) (f), and 4.3 (3) (e), from General Site Requirements in R1,R1N, and R1S, Land Use Districts.

The Strathmore 2015 Alberta 55 PlusSummer Games committee has official-ly unveiled their games poster on Feb.9. Bret Kenworthy, who is best knownin town for his Strathmore Stampedeposters, volunteered his time to helpcreate the poster.

Colleen Huber, games manager, saidin a promotions meeting the committee

was trying to figure out how to get theposter done and decided on a design

when Shauna Kenworthy offered tocheck with her son to see his availabil-ity. The younger Kenworthy said theposter was created through a collabo-ration with his mom.

“She told me about the idea and shehelped me design the poster, it waskind of her inspiration, she had all theideas and I put it together,” said Bret.

“We took pictures that would repli-cate an Alberta landscape and because‘it’s our time to shine’ is the slogan, somy mom really wanted to do something

with sunrays.” This year marks 35 years for the 55

Plus Summer Games. This year’s Alber-ta 55 Plus Summer Games will be heldin Strathmore July 16-19.

People with Type 1 diabetes have reason to hope

that they won’t have to inject insulin for the rest of

their lives. Scientists are working with stem cells.

It is known that stem cells can be trained to act likeany other type of body cell and the researchers are

training them to produce human insulin. Many steps

must be taken before actual clinical trials can take

place around 2017 but it looks promising.

Everyone loves snack foods at times. Instead of

reaching for the potato chips and pretzels, try some

nuts. Almonds, pistachios, cashews, walnuts and

pumpkins seeds do contain fat but these fats are

polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats which

are good for us. They are also packed with protein.

It takes about 5 to 6 hours for our bodies to

eliminate half the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Some

people need that to help kickstart their days. I t’s also

a reason why coffee too late in the day may not be

advisable if you have sleeping problems.

Most “cold pills” contain an antihistamine and

a decongestant . The antihistamine helps to dry

mucus secretions and reduce the irritation caused

by coughing. The decongestant relieves the stuffy

feeling in the nose and sinuses. Some products maycontain a pain reliever and/or a cough suppressant

which may or may not be needed. The best product

choice is one that treats only the symptoms you have.

Don’t hesitate to ask our pharmacists questions

about cold medications or any other type We have

the answers.

Alberta winters can be toughon our bodies. The dryness inthe air seems to suck the mois-ture from our skin and lotion becomes almost a necessity.But did you know that it also

wreaks havoc on your eyes?By February we’re in themiddle of winter, and the dry winter climate has taken hold.For many Albertans this time of year also brings on aggravatingdry eye symptoms.

“Dry eye is one of the mostcommon conditions that I see

on a daily basis, especiallyin the winter,” says Dr. Chris Johnson of Ranch Market Eyec-are. “The symptoms can rangeanywhere from annoying todebilitating, and finding theright treatment can be a chal-lenge.”

Dry eye occurs when theeyes don’t produce enoughquality tears. Heavy reading ordigital device use, prolongedcontact lens wear, hormonalimbalances and even certainmedications can contribute tothe disease.

“My patients deal with a wide variety of symptoms,” said

Johnson. “Some say their visionis blurry or that their eyes aresensitive to light. Others com-plain about a scratchy or grittyfeeling, and say that sometimesit feels like something is stuckin their eye.”

In some cases, said Johnson,the eyes may try to create moretears in response to the dry-ness, which can result in ex-cessive watering. Optometrists will often ask a series of ques-tions, and can conduct special-ized tests to diagnose dry eye. There is no cure, but it can behelped. Treatment options in-clude changes to your lifestyle

and/or diet, eye medication,over-the-counter lubrications,in-office eyelid procedures andat-home treatments.

“Dry eye can cause perma-nent tissue damage if left un-treated, so it’s really importantto see your optometrist if youare having problems,” says Dr. Johnson.

Early detection, as with any-thing, is key in successfullytreating any eye disease. Dur-ing your eye exams discusslifestyle changes and differenttreatment options with youroptometrist to help prolong your eye health.

around Southern Alberta,spread around the CanadianBadlands and it’s also an op-portunity for people to comeand see what Strathmore hasin terms of its tourism opera-tions,” said Brad Tucker, Ex-ecutive director for the Ca-nadian Badlands about whyStrathmore was chosen as ahost community.

Other keynote speakers forthe conference include Rob-in Esrock, a travel journalist, TV host and author of the‘Great Canadian Bucket List.’

Fule for Thought

I’m sure you’ve noticed, but Strathmore has a bitof a traffic problem. Yes, it’s hard to believe, butthere is a definite “rush hour” at certain points ofthe day. For example, if you are trying to turn left

onto Wheatland Trail between 8:10 a.m. and 8:30a.m. … well, get ready to hunker down, and wait.I seem to get stuck behind someone who never

wants to try this left turn, until there’s a space ofabout a five second count! That means … you wait.I think they feel guilty at the line of vehicles grow-ing behind, because they creep ahead a bit, tomake you think they might take a risk and actuallyturn! It’s tough to sit back and count the “steam-

boats” where a turn could have been done, butthey’re waiting for that perfect 5-10 second spac-ing! They also tend to stay way to the right of thatlane, so no one can turn right onto Wheatland …

big mess (I know I must sound like I have “roadrage”, but it can be frustrating … I mean, I’m in arush to bring learning to the Youth of Today)! There’s another frustrating intersection at 2nd

Avenue and Wheatland Trail. Again, if you’re tryingto turn left on to Wheatland Trail to head south,at certain times, good luck! With the school zoneright at that intersection, and the number of large

vehicles cruising through, that would be enough.But oh no, if you are lucky to turn left and get onto Wheatland, you are right at a pedestrian cross-

walk! So, you wait, you creep out, then zip ontothe road, only to brake hard as kids loaded down

with snowsuits and backpacks hit the crosswalk button. If you’ve noticed today’s youth crossingroads, then you also know they don’t seem to wantto wait to make sure things are safe! Oh no, theyfeel that everyone must stop for them, just because

they step out onto a road. How many times have you tried to go through an intersection, only tohave a kid step right out, no looking, head down,and just cross! If they do make eye contact, theyusually “stare you down” a bit with a bit of anobnoxious, “yeah, that’s right … you better stop!”

I think I did kind of “snap” about a week ago.

I had turned left onto Thomas Drive, at the 4-waystop in front of SHS. Just as I am headed south andabout to go by the first cul de sac, a girl steppedright out, head down, while her friend waited. Herfriend even yelled something at her, as she stayed

back! I had to slam on the brakes … then lookedat another driver who also was trying to make aturn! We looked at each other, shook our heads,then made exact “what are ya gonna do” gestures

with our arms. It was like we were united by thisgirl’s dumbness! Then, that same first girl looked

back at me, with a look that would kill, if you let it(heck, I’ve raised a teenaged daughter … that lookdoesn’t scare me)! Before I realized it, I had a non-

verbal gesture for her! No, it wasn’t “the finger” …I mean I am a teacher … I do have some self-re-spect (hear that, Mr. Prentice?). No, before I knewit, I had made the big letter “L” with my right hand,then pointed at her! It felt great! It wasn’t obscene,and the best part, is that it made her friend point ather and break into hysterical laughter! I looked atmy temporary driver “pal” … he was laughing, too!I guess teaching a lesson to today’s youth can takemany forms! I felt warm all over … but that mighthave been a bit of road rage … Strathmore-style!

Parliamentary Report

The world is a dangerous place and, as most brutally demonstrated by last October’s attacksin Ottawa and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Canada isnot immune to the threat of terrorism. That’s whyPrime Minister Stephen Harper announced theGovernment will bring forward legislation to pro-

tect Canadians from the evolving threat of terror-ism and help keep our communities safe. The proposed legislation (Bill C-51, the Anti-

terrorism Act, 2015) will provide Canadian lawenforcement and national security agencies withadditional tools and flexibility to keep pace withevolving threats and better protect Canadians hereat home. Bill C-51 will help keep Canadians safe

by creating a new Criminal Code offence that willcriminalize the promotion of terrorist attacks onCanadians. This legislation will interfere with ter-rorist recruitment by giving our courts the author-ity to order the removal of terrorist propagandaonline. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service(CSIS) will be given the ability, under judicial au-thority, to intervene to prevent specific terror plots

while they are still in the planning stages. As the Government, we recognize that the high-

est responsibility of our Government is to helpkeep Canadians safe and our country secure. Wemust make it easier for law enforcement agenciesto detain suspected terrorists before they can harmCanadians and toughen penalties for violating courtordered conditions on terror suspects. We are evenproviding witnesses who are willing to come for-

ward with crucial evidence additional protectionin national security proceedings and prosecutions. The international jihadist movement has declared

war on Canada. Canadians are being targeted by ji-hadi terrorists simply because they hate our societyand the values it represents. That’s why our Gov-ernment has never hesitated to call jihadi terrorism

what it is. Just as we are not afraid to condemn it, we are not afraid to confront it. Jihadi terrorism is

not a future possibility; it is a present reality. This new legislation will give our law enforce-

ment and national security agencies the tools theyneed to protect Canadians against the ever-evolv-ing threat of jihadi terrorism.

Bill C-51 provides federal departments and agen-cies the ability to share relevant information andthis strengthens the Passenger Protect Program,

which prevents known terrorists from travelling. As well, the legislation ensures national securityagencies are able to prevent foreigners who pose athreat to Canada from obtaining Canadian citizen-ship, or from even coming to Canada. Jihadi terrorism is not a human right; it is an act

of war. As your Member of Parliament, I will votein support of our Government taking these pro-active measures against future would-be terrorists.Bill C-51 strengthens and protects the rights of Ca-nadians against jihadi terrorists.

Distracted driving has be-come a major cause of 20-30 per cent of accidents andfatalities on our roadways,

which is why the RCMP andthe Sheriff’s departmentshave proclaimed February

as Distracted Driving Month. Throughout the month

of February the Alberta In-tegrated Traffic Unit (ITU)has been focusing its effortson reinforcing the dangersassociated with distracted

driving in an attempt to helpreduce fatalities and seriousinjury crashes.

February is distracted driving month The distracted driving legislation

first came into effect on Sept. 1, 2011.Since then there have been over 60,000charges laid for the offense. Just in2014 there were 23,913 convictions fordistracted driving, and on only one dayin January of this year the Integrated

Traffic Units in Southern Alberta wrote51 tickets, one of which was for a per-son working on their laptop whiledriving.

“We need your help to make ourroads and highways safer,” said Super-intendent Eaton, Officer in Charge ofRCMP Traffic Services in a press re-lease.

“Don’t be a half-attentive driver be-cause you or someone else may losetheir life.” A vehicle travelling at 100 km an

hour moves at approximately 30 me-tres per second, which means in thethree seconds you may take to glanceat a cell phone, that vehicle has trav-elled almost 100 metres, or 270 feet.

People are being killed all acrossCanada every day due to distracteddriving. In many communities it is tak-ing over as the leading cause of vehiclecrashes, responsible for more crashesthan even impaired driving.

“Saying no to distracted driving isabout saving lives,” said Superinten-dent Stiles, Officer in Charge of Alberta Traffic Sheriffs.

“Before you drive, put distracting de- vices or material out of reach becausedriving is a full-time job.”

For more information about the dis-tracted driving legislation go to http:// www.t ranspor tation.a lber ta.ca /di s-tracteddriving.htm.

The Sacred Heart Academy launched their ‘Jump Rope for Heart’ campaign in a special assembly on Feb.11 to help raise money

and awareness of heart conditions. On hand were for festivities were Janet Ying (l-r), teacher Genevieve Chisholm, skipper Mae-gan Leaper and Jennifer Duggan of the Heart and Stroke foundation.

BE COURAGEOUS!

Often times, people get con-

fused, not knowing what to

do next when overwhelmed

by unpleasant situations and

circumstances; when they

have Issues to be resolved and

challenges to be confronted, but

there is always something to do

even in that confused state.

Hear what God told Gideon in

Judges 6:14; ‘14 Then the LORD

turned to him and said, “Go in

this might of yours, and you shall

save Israel from the hand of the

Midianites. Have I not sent you?”

Gideon was a young man who

had questions about God and

the life of his people, Israel. He

was a frustrated man who felt

very powerless in the face of

the many troubles around him.

He wondered why the God who

worked miracles in the past

would not step in to deliver

Israel from the Midianites who

plundered their wealth.

When God responded to Gide-

on’s query, He did not offer a ny- thing new to Gideon. God simply

told him to use the power that he

already had, to go and conquer

the Midianites. In other words,

the power that Gideon needed

was already inside of him. He

did not have a lack of power but

a lack of confidence. He did not

need more power; he needed

more courage. Many of us are

like Gideon and we complain

without knowing the power in us.

God has given you tremendous

ability; His ability is a part of

Himself. The power of God in you

is able to perform the tasks that

God has called you to perform.

His power at work in you can

move every mountain and make

every path straight before you.

Have faith in God and have faith

in your abilities. You are well

able.

This week recognize God’s

power at work in you. God is

with you. You are well able. As

Gideon put the Midianite armies

to flight, so will you also put the

enemy to flight.

Go in this might of yours!

Knowing how and when to talk to your kidsabout drugs can be tough. You don’t want to pushthem too hard, but at the same time you want themto understand the consequences that could comefrom drug abuse.

Starting Feb. 26 the Kids and Drugs informa-tion session will be in Carseland. They are free toattend, and open to any parent looking to learnmore.

“It’s for parents, it is very important they knowthis is a program about positive parenting anddrug prevention. It is not a program that is gearedto counselling for the youth,” said Lynn Walker, a

team facilitator with SWAT. The sessions are held Thursday nights from 6:30

p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Four topics will be discussedthroughout the four sessions. The first week is talk-ing about the power of parenting and how much

of an impact you can have on your kids. The sec-ond session is helping your child make good deci-sions; the third session is talking with your kidsand learning how to have that dialogue with them.

“The fourth week is when the RCMP come out with their big drug display and go over everything with them and just give an idea of different thingsthat they look for with each of the drugs,” said

Walker.Parents will be given a workbook to help so they

have ideas as they go along, and it has some infor-mation in it.

Kids and Drugs it is sponsored by the Strath-more-Wheatland Addictions Team, the RCMP and

Alberta Health Services and the community ofCarseland. The four sessions will be held at the

community hall each Thursday, with the exceptionof March 12, beginning on Feb. 26. The sessionsare free to attend but pre-registration is requested.Either e-mail [email protected] or call (403) 934-5335to sign up.

Freedom facilitator and coach Annette Stanwick will be hosting a ‘Letting Go and Living Without

Fear’ seminar on Feb. 25 (6:30 p.m.) at Days Innand Suites.She will teach couples how to face their fears

and making the right choices to eliminate them.“It will be strategies for limitless, bold, brave

and courageous living – everybody is afraid ofsomething at sometime,” said Stanwick. “Fear canreally be paralyzing and hold us back from thingsin our lives, situations in our relationships and canexhaust us with worry.”

She will do a unique exercise at the end of theseminar that has changed the way people look attheir fears.

“I have a real fun exercise right at the very endof the seminar that is pretty phenomenal called

‘Busting out of Your Fears.’ I’ll bring a cardboard box and I try to find someone in the audiencethat will be strong and willing to help me withthis exercise and we will be talking about howfears can confine us and get us stuck in this box

we just can’t seem to move,” said Stanwick. “I didthis once before and I called a man up out of theaudience, I saw him when he walked in the roomand asked him if he’d be willing to help me.”

She made the man get in the box and he had tokick and punch his way out of there and the result was surprising.

“He did it and when he stood up, he said youhave no idea how I needed that,” said Stanwick.

She will also strategize with them about choicesthey make during a normal day.

If people are interested in the seminar you willhave to pre-register by contacting Stanwick at [email protected] or by phone at 403-983-1844.

“We’re still all about removing the barriers, if you need a flutter board todo your swim, who cares, even withlittle kids lifejackets are allowed, we just don’t let the flippers in the pool because with more people in the poolthey can hurt if you get kicked by one,”said Johnson.

New this year is the Mega Smore, which is an Olympic distance. It’s a oneand a half km swim, a 40 km bike ride,

and a 10 km run. The Mega Smore wasadded this year because of the fifth an-niversary of the Tri-Smore, and it is thefifth distance. Johnson said there have been a few

people interested in it, but she want-ed to make sure as the organizer thatshe knew what they were doing beforeadding on the longer distance.

“It just kind of seemed fitting because we have the Two Bite race, the quarterand then we have the Half Smore andthe Full Smore, so now we’re going toadd the Mega Smore which will be ourfifth distance and it’s our fifth year. Theother fun thing I am doing with thatis if you register by 05,05,15, so May5, 2015, you get your registration for

$55.15,” said Johnson. The Full Smore is sprint distance,

equaling a 500-meter swim, a 20km bike and a 5 km run. The Half Smore ishalf the distance of the full, the quarterSmore is half the distance of the HalfSmore, and the Two Bit Smore is forkids eight-years-old and younger. Any athlete of any fitness level is en-

couraged to sign up and participate inone of the races being offered.

“Just do it, remove the barriers comeand have fun, nobody is going to pull

you off the course if you don’t meet atime in a certain part, we don’t care if you have to walk during the run that’s

fine,” said Johnson. The idea is to get out and just do it.

The Tri-Smore is only as competitive as you make it, said Johnson.

Learning tips on how to train andfinding ways to track your progress hasnever been easier thanks to the Inter-net.

“One website that I really like forsomebody that has never done it be-fore is beginnertriathlete.com,” said Johnson.

“It covers newbies, it covers veterans,it covers all distances and you can getplans off of there that are free or youcan upgrade your membership and getreally detailed plans. It is a really good website for just basic triathlon informa-tion.”

It may be tough to believe now, butshe strongly believes that anyone whostarts training now would be able tocomplete the Full Smore by June, or if you were dedicated enough it would bepossible to go from couch to Olympicin the next few months.

“I am a mother of seven kids and ifI get in four workouts a week I’ve hada really good week and I can do a FullSmore off of that. I’m no super athlete but I try to stay active and some ofthose plans are a lot more detailed butthey just start you small and you buildand they have a rest week in there,”said Johnson.

“It all depends what your goal is, if you’re trying to win a world medal atit, you’re going to have to dedicate alot, but if you want to finish you canstill do it.”

Registration has been open for acouple weeks and it’s never too ear-ly to sign up and start training. ‘Like’the Facebook page for updates Tri-Smore Triathlon, or go online to the website at https://raceroster.com/events/2015/4662/tri-smore-2015 toregister.

The Hussar alumni volleyball tournament willtake place on Feb. 28.

It is open to anyone who went to the school and wants to make a team for a day.

“It’s a high school reunion type thing, where ev-ery year the grad class has had a tournament. This

year we have teams from as far back as parentsand the community residents who have graduatedin the 70’s and 80’s and individual year teams thatgo back to 2001, “ said Cole Kaiser, tournamentorganizer. The tournament is very affordable for everyone,

and the proceeds go to a very worthy cause.“What we do is the entry fee is $50 a team and

that money goes to ‘Kids Up Front,’ that’s an orga-nization in Calgary and one of the girls that gradu-ated from Hussar is actually one of the managersof the non-profit group,” said Kaiser. “Every year

we have a theme and this year’s theme is ‘Tight‘n Bright.’ The team that is the best dressed getspicked by the ‘Kids Up Front’ group and they get

a prize package supplied by them, and the bestdressed individual and the team that wins thetournament get a prize.”

In 2011, Hussar closed their high school so stu-dents were forced to go to Strathmore. However,Hussar residents who graduated in Strathmore areallowed to participate in the tournament.

“A lot of times they get their friends and peo-ple they’ve graduated with … a lot of kids go toStrathmore now, so we get some from there whoare coming back, but generally it’s made up ofcore kids in the Hussar area,” said Kaiser.

Games will begin at 8:30 a.m. and go right un-til 7 p.m. followed by the dance at 9 p.m. at thecommunity hall, which will be $10 and opened toanyone in the surrounding communities The deadline is Feb. 23 and you can register by

contacting Kaiser at 403-901-9174.

62 Strathmore novice players had theopportunity to play pond hockey with12 players from the Calgary Hitmenduring the ‘Pond Hockey by Enmax’event on Feb. 15 at the Strathmore Fam-ily Centre.

It’s the first time the event was held inStrathmore and there were some verymemorable moments for a lot of thekids who look at the Hitmen as idols.

“It means so much to the community… to get out there and play with theiractual heroes. These players look up tothose guys and this is what they prob-ably want to do when they grow up,”said Liz Wilson, Enmax sponsorship co-ordinator. “So being able get on the ice,

shoot out, pass to them, maybe evenstop a goal, it’s amazing to see thosemoments.”

“We went through the novice spon-sorships to pick the teams that we dopond hockey with each season so wedo a rotation.” Wilson added that she would love to

bring the event back to Strathmore witha different team next time, with the pos-sibility of Flames being the next one.

Strathmore Minor Hockey Association board member Cory Flett was ecstaticabout the presence of the Hitmen play-

ers and how important the communica-tion was with the young players.

“The program that Enmax started with us last year, where they provideus with $1,000 for each (novice) teamto get a track suits for every kid, that’s

where it started. This year they didsame thing, then Airdrie cancelled onthem, they couldn’t get ice and said‘hey do you want this Hitmen oppor-tunity’ and I said absolutely,” said Flett.“I wasn’t sure how it was going to goover, but the stands were packed, theparents were excited, the brothers andsisters had a great time. It was a greatopportunity for Strathmore.”

First-year Hitmen centre Tyrell

Draude thought skating with the youngkids was a great way to interact with theplayers that support the team.

“It was a lot of fun. I grew up in Sas-katoon and watching the Blades wascool,” said Draude. “I know what it’slike skating with the older players andit’s a pretty cool feeling. We’re peoplethat they look up to and we were intheir shoes at one time, so it’s good to(give back).”

The subject of mandating rain barrels on new developments

was broughtforward to councilon Jan.21. The proposed amendment tothe Land Use Bylaw would see

the additionof rainbarrels onnew residential lots become man-datory.

CancorpProperty Group,develope rs of WildflowerRanch, and

OvationHomes wrote letters of oppositiontothe amendment.Curtis Palmer,presidentof OvationHomes,was on hand for

the publichearingand spoke abouthis concerns,whichincludedthe possible risk they pose tothe foundation if notinstalled prop-

erly and the freezingof the waterinthe barrels duringthe winter.

“As a builderwe are required tograde eachhome with positive

drainage away fromthe foundation,”said Palmer.“Itis the homeowner’s responsibility tomaintainthose grades

afterpossession,includingcorrectingany settlement.Water in basements and foundation issues caused by water willnot be

warrantied by the buildero rthe third party warranty providerifitis determined those grades have notbeenmaintained.”

He continued ontosay thatinhis experience wi thhomeown-

ers today,everyone’s time is valuable and they are lookingforlowmaintenance ineverythingthey doa nd he would suggestthatthe

majority of homeowners wouldn’twant a rainbarrel,but admits

tonotaskingthemei ther. WernerFischer, with the planning and development depart-

mentfor the town,said thatthe developmentpermitand buildingpermitprocesses try to ensure thatpositive drainage is provided

away fromthe buildingwithout impactingadjacent properties.

“Inareas of townwhere we donot have stormsewerwe’recompelled touse streets and the lanes because they are anessen-

tialpart of the overalldrainage forthe town,”said Fischer. There is an issue withs tormwater managementin certainar-

eas of the town.Many areas downtown,forexample,don’thave

stormsewer;al lof the new areas dohave stormwaterdrainage,however.

“I believe certainly insome of areas of the town, especially in

those areas where we don’thave stormsewers, rainbarrels aregoingtobe required and we’re goingto have tofigure outhow

tomake themwork,”s aid Fischer.CouncillorRocky Blokland questioned if itwillrea lly make that

muchof a difference,especially since those barrels willstillneed

tobe emptied, and willlikely be drained ontopeople’s lawns ifthey are notused forgardening,orotheruses.

“You’re reducingthe rate of release,that’s whatthis is alla bout,”said Fischer.

In Fischer’s opinion making rainba rrels mandatory is about

water conservation, stormwater management and water tablemanagement.Th ere are cases where everything has beendone

righton a property,and suddenly 20years laterthey have water

i ssues thatweren’tthere before due to r i singwatertables.Hesaid typically one neighbouradding a sumppump resolves the

si tuation,butthere are oftenotherways to dealwi thi t.Insomecases extendingthe downspoutfurther away fromthe house has

helped some people mitigate the problem. Continued on Page 5
