New businesses coming into the downtown area are going to be the rst faced with following the guidelines of the new Downtown Overlay District Bylaw. When a new business opens in the downtown area, the rst thing the owner should do is head to the town ofce and le an application for a development permit if they are planning to change the use of the property. They should also le for a signage permit. Before they do anything they should be coming in to talk. Thats not just the downtown, before youre doing anything construction-wise, or changing a use you should be coming in and talking to the town, said Deputy Chief Administrative Ofcer for the Town of Strathmore Linda Nelson. Most things require either a development permit, or a building permit. Some things dont but it is best to check ahead of time. The Downtown Overlay District Bylaw species that the town has architectural controls over the way buildings will look. The application (for a permit) would come forward and from there we would set up a meeting with the downtown design review committee, said Nelson. (We would) review the application and make sure that it meets all of the criteria and specications within the Downtown Overlay District Bylaw. It is not a strict bylaw, a lot of times people think that a bylaw is restrictive, but sometimes it can be the exact opposite, it can give you more options and it can help generate those ideas. The underlying zoning is still there, so you still have those requirements, but what the town has done is added additional things that a business owner or a developer can do. The design committee can make recommendations and suggestions but they cannot approve a permit, and they cannot attach conditions to a permit; that is up to the development ofcer. Continued on Page 2

The committee is strictly there to make sure the application is following the guidelines and offer a few suggestions. Some of the general purposes of the bylaw are: to encourage adaptive re-use of abandoned, vacant or underutilized buildings or structures where appropriate; to allow for a mix of new land use s that are appropriate to both the needs of the community and the scale of the surrounding neighbourhoods; to maintain a consistent high level of design quality though the district; and to build upon the historic development patterns in the existing downtown area to create an attractive, vibrant, walk-able and economically successful downtown.

Capsule Comments
If you have a child that swallowed something poisonous, call your local poison control centre right away. Have the poison container with you and listen carefully to the questions you will be asked: what was swallowed, how much, what the container label says and if the child has had anything to eat or drink since the event. Speed is of the essence so listen carefully and act as directed. There seems to be some mixed signals about drinking alcohol while pregnant. Some stories have said it was OK in moderation but the best advice on this one is to not drink any alcohol while pregnant. Many thousands of children in Canada are born yearly with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome which causes a range of problems from physical disabilities to brain damage. Pregnancy and alcohol do not mix. Heres a suggestion about alcohol and pregnancy: The decision to have a child is usually a mutuallyagreed decision between husband and wife. They both want the healthiest child possible. To this end, the husband can support his wife by also abstaining from alcohol for the term of the pregnancy. Flashes of light in your eye could indicate a migraine but it also could mean a serious eye problem called retinal detachment. This is a serious eye problem that could result in loss of vision. Get medical help right away. Many things can cause medical problems and many of them are preventable. Helping you with your concerns about health and medications is our daily job. Its part of our professional responsibility to our customers.
Giving blood
A successful blood drive was held on March 7 by a former Rockyford ringette team in honour of their former coach Dwayne Marshman. Marshman was instrumental in bringing ringette to Rockyford. In 2012 he lost his battle to Mantel Cell Lymphoma. Karen Koester, a member of the Rockyford Ringers ringette team, got her blood taken surrounded by her teammates. By the end of the evening the clinic had seen 139 donors walk through the doors out of the 178 who had booked appointments. The target was to collect 120 units of blood, and by the end of the night 117 units had been collected, falling just shy of the target. Back: Natalie Gregory (l-r) Nicole Robinson and Kim Salt.

Correction
In the March 14 edition of the Strathmore Times in the Fire Hall Purchases New Truck article Captain Jason McEwing is quoted as saying, ventilate a structure to power fans which clear out smoke, CO2. This quote is not accurate. When addressing council McEwing stated CO, which is carbon monoxide, not CO2. It is important to note the difference between CO2 and CO. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

government executives and politically appointed staff to save $5 million annually. We could also save $6 million annually by eliminating the 10 under-performing associate ministers and by reducing the number of ministers to 16. Wildrose would never seek savings by gutting front line services like education, health care or supports for persons with developmental disabilities. By contrast, the PCs have only sought savings by gouging our front line workers and cutting the services our most vulnerable rely on. There are clearly savings to be found. If the PCs havent found any savings yet, its because they refuse to look. Albertans need new schools, hospitals and upgraded roads. Building needs to be a priority for the long-term prosperity of the province. This will be harder and harder to do as interest payments become more and more burdensome under the PC plan of more and more debt. We hope you will take the time to review the Wildrose 2014 Budget recommendations at wildrose.ca/feature/wildrose-releases-2014-budget-recommendations.

PAT FULE Fule for Thought By the time you read this (maybe thats wishful thinking!), St. Patricks Day will have come and gone. People will be having green coloured foods and treats, and some wearing their best green outts to avoid being pinched. A lot of people think that Im Irish because of my rst name, but if youve read earlier columns, you know my parents didnt even have a name for me when I was born. So I got named after the Irish doctor who delivered me! For your whole life to get called Patty or Paddy, and given extra pinches because kids think youre Irish loses its fun factor after a while! Even my 80 year old Slovenian uncle calls me every St. Patricks Day! Ive had to remind him, uh, you know Im Hungarian-Slovenian, right, Unc? Oh well, the calls always nice, even if Im not Irish. It did get me thinking of my background, how I got to where I am, and specically how I came to stay here in Strathmore. Not to get political, but Strathmore has denitely gotten prettier over the last 30 years. There are more trees, parks, and pathways than ever before. But in May of 1983 when I got interviewed for a teaching position at Samuel Crowther School, it was not the gem its becoming now! Now before you long time residents get too mad, I came from Canmore, and thats a lot different than here! In fact, on the interview day, I was a half hour early, so I thought Id drive around the town. I thought maybe I could refer to something I saw, if it came up in the interview, and I wanted to look around. Driving east down Main Street, I was absolutely shocked. Back in 1983, Main Street was not the most attractive street in town! I drove down it and up the next one, and wasnt quite sure what Id just seen. My parents were off work that day, so I actually called home from a pay phone (you remember those) to tell them about Strathmore. You wont believe this, Dad! The buildings are all old and kind of run down looking. They put the Main Street on a hill! Ive never seen anything like this! Yeah, Im still after the job, it might be a great starting point for me, I told him. Starting point indeed, its now 31 years later and Im still here! Deb and I had opportunities to go back and teach in Canmore, but we always talked ourselves out of it. Now, its way too early to campaign, but it was the amazing people who kept us here! Strathmores residents still have that old fashioned down to earth friendliness, that I dont think has even weakened over the last 30 years! Its denitely been a great place for us to live and raise our family! However, in 1983, I was still totally unsure. I was told 90 applied for the Jr./Sr. high job, ten of us were interviewed, and I got the position! I know, this is where some of you may be saying what happened to the other nine? Its too late, 30 years have gone by no backsies its kind of late to get rid of me now! So, the next night (Saturday) the superintendent called me in Canmore to offer the job. I think I cut him off with a yes even before the sentence got very far! I do remember my mom screaming when she realized her son was going to be a teacher. My family is all from Europe and I was the rst to ever get a University degree! Okay, sure, one of mine is a PE degree, but like I said, no backsies! So, my parents came out with me later the next week to look for accommodations. There werent many from which to choose! Back then, the old King Edward Hotel was still going strong, with a Chinese restaurant attached. Just next to that was an ancient butcher shop with a one bedroom apartment above. We went to look at it, and once again, I was stunned. My dad said, I think you take it, Pat. Not much in town. This one be good. Uh Dad I know youre from the old country, and you were a POW in WWII, and lived through a lot of bad stuff, but that doesnt mean your youngest kid has to! Youre not gonna make me live here, are you? Vy not you sometink special? (My dad had an accent and was pretty blunt!) No, but I think theres got to be something a little less Prison Campish, I replied. Luckily Mom was with me and began to discipline my dad, she got me out of that one! We nally found a bachelor apartment in a brand new Chinook III, and I was ready to start livin the dream! Yup, here I was, a Canmore mountain kid living on the Prairie. That rst pay cheque I cleared $1,300 and my rent was $400! Now 31 years later, Im still here and I really have no regrets Strathmore is a great town, but I still wonder why Main Streets on a hill!

Strathmore High Schools 2013/2014 Grade 11 students are the first ones to use the new 3D printers the school purchased for the design class. Above: Logan Blakney (l-r), Matt Sandum, Ed Eberts, Braden Burton and Jared Dougan.
object. The program SHS uses is Autodesk, and the students are learning on Inventor, which is a digital prototyping program. There have been a few failures as they learn how to use that machine, and there have been some interesting tips learned through watching YouTube videos, like spraying hairspray on the glass to help the plastic stick. The rst thing they printed was a little blue bunny head. What we want to do is we want to start making our own iPhone cases with our schools logo and then give them away, said Eberts. Art teacher Brandy Roberts is excited about the potential the printer has with her art class. She would love to use it for casting one day but plans to mostly use it for jewelry for now. As soon as I saw the rst 3D printed thing I thought thats just another material we could work with. I think the fact that it can be 100 per cent original, it can be a component to something that they have already created in another medium, theres no end to what they (can create), said Roberts. I think almost every department can use it in some way if you have the time and the accessibility to it. The technology is changing fast, said Roberts. Now 3D scanners are being made, where you can put on object on the scanner, it scans and then will print that object on the 3D printer. Windows is even offering built-in 3D printing drivers in its computers now. Its funny because it is not really that new anymore, its just now becoming a more public, and more accessible, before you had to be a little bit more nerdy to know how to use that stuff, now its accessible to everyone, said Roberts. There are a lot of schools now considering buying one. Its not too farfetched to think that one day everyone will have a 3D printer in their home. There are a number of different 3D printing applications, and the possibilities seem endless. I hope that some of them think of it as a career or think about using it on
the farm or wherever. You could print out a tool that you need or if something breaks on the machine you dont have to run in to order one, said Eberts about his hopes for his design class.

She, too, moved around the country and was living in Bonnyville, Alta. when she met and married Rocky in 1983. They raised two sons, two daughters and have 11 grandchildren ranging in age from four to 14. Rocky and Ellie visited this part of the province in 1999, looking for a bakery to acquire, and they kept coming back to Strathmore, where the bakery was for sale.

World Day of Prayer held at Lord of All Lutheran Church on March 7 was organized by Sacred Heart Parish. This year the ecumenical service was written by the World Day of Peace Committee of Egypt. The annual event is sponsored by churches in and around the community and this years sponsor was Sacred Heart Parish. Over 60 people participated in Strathmore. This event is held all over the world and the theme this year was Streams in the Desert. These women presented a background of women in Egypt, from ancient times until the present.

feeling full. A combination of whole wheat toast, fresh fruit and Greek yogurt makes for a filling start to the day. * Stay hydrated. Although drinking a lot of water can result in more frequent trips to the bathroom -- which can be cumbersome for brides wearing their gowns -- it is essential to stay hydrated. Dehydration can result in headaches, weakness and dizziness and may make you feel cranky. Be sure to consume water throughout the day. * Pack some snacks. The time between breakfast and the cocktail hour of a wedding may be significant. In your wedding survival kit, be sure to pack some easy snacks to eat. Trail mix can be nibbled for a boost of energy, and a banana can take the edge off of hunger pangs. Avoid anything messy that can drip onto clothing or get stuck in your teeth. Arrange to have snacks stowed in the limousine or another mode of transportation so that you can refuel on the way to the ceremony or in transit to the reception. * Dont overdo it with caffeine. It may be tempting to lean on an energy drink or a super-size cup of coffee to give you the boost you need. But caffeine is only a temporary fix. After the effects of the caffeine wear off, you could find yourself more tired than before and crash at an inopportune time during the day. Instead, a brisk walk outdoors may recharge your batteries. Afterward, time spent on the dance floor enjoying the reception will likely stimulate some adrenaline to keep you going. * Eat dinner. When family is beckoning and the photographer needs to get yet another pose, it is easy to skip dinner. Be firm with your decision to enjoy your meal. After all, you paid for it and it should not go to waste. Besides, sitting down to dinner enables you to rest and absorb the atmosphere of the wedding. * Continue to drink plenty of water throughout the night. Alcoholic beverages may be flowing, but too many spirits can compromise your energy levels. Be sure to balance the booze with hydrating fluids, such as water or juice. Weddings take up the entire day, and it can be easy to succumb to a lack of energy as the day progresses. But by heeding a few tips, its possible to remain in top form throughout the entire wedding day.

calm your nerves. * Aim for a jovial toast. Wedding toasts are typically given at the wedding reception, when guests and the bridal party are ready to celebrate. Such an atmosphere lends itself to a jovial toast wherein best men and maids of honor focus on happy times with the bride and groom. Tell a funny anecdote that illustrates the special bond you have with the bride or groom. When choosing a story to tell, remember to keep things appropriate for guests of all ages, including young children. * Steer clear of alcohol before giving your toast. Many people overindulge in alcohol at wedding receptions, but best men and maids of honor should avoid consuming alcohol until after they have toasted the bride and groom. Horror stories about drunken, inappropriate wedding toasts may seem more like an urban legend than a legitimate possibility, but the tendency for alcohol to lower peoples inhibitions makes it dangerous for men and women to consume it before giving their toasts. * Give your best wishes to the bride and groom before raising your glass. Raising your glass to toast the bride and groom is often the last step before your toasting duties officially end. But before you raise your glass, remember to offer your best wishes to both the bride and groom. Once those sentiments have been expressed, ask the guests to raise their glasses and toast the newlyweds. Toasting happy couples at their wedding receptions can be stressful for best men and maids of honor who are unaccustomed to speaking in front of large groups of people. But following a certain formula and speaking from the heart will ensure such toasts go off without a hitch.

Music often plays an important role on festive occasions, and wedding days are no exception. The right music can make a wedding day that much more meaningful, while the wrong music can make a couples big event memorable for all the wrong reasons. Though music selection might seem like one of the easier decisions couples must make, those about to tie the knot typically must make a host of music-related decisions regarding their wedding day, including whether to choose a live band or a deejay to perform at their wedding receptions. While the reception is when music might be most on display, couples planning their weddings must think beyond the reception when setting the musical tones for their weddings. day and evening.

Ceremony The ceremony itself often sets the tone for a couples wedding day. A beach wedding, for example, often creates a laid back atmosphere, while a ceremony held in a large church or temple often sets a more formal tone. Music played during the ceremony also goes a long way toward setting the tone couples hope to establish. When choosing music for the ceremony, couples should first consider the venue where they are tying the knot. Some, such as houses of worship, may have rules pertaining to what can and cannot be played inside the venue. Classical, hymnal or processional music often makes the best fit when weddings are taking place in more formal venues. Outdoor weddings tend to give couples more leeway. But in general couples dont want to choose any music thats too loud or over-the-top for their ceremonies. Keep in mind that while the music played during the ceremony can set the tone for the day, this music can vary significantly from the music played during the reception. A favorite performer may not be appropriate during the ceremony, but that doesnt mean the couple cant dance to that artists music during the reception. Live musicians can add a more elegant feel to the ceremony, but such performers also can be costly. Playing prerecorded music may not be as elegant as having a live performer, but it can cost a lot less and still make for an enjoyable

The Strathmore Ice U14 squad hosted Provincials from March 14-16, playing five games. Wins were hard to come by, as the girls finished in eighth place. On March 15, they lost a close game to Spruce Grove 3-1.
Wind-up weekend
With U14 teams competing in Provincials at the Family Centre, the U7, U9, and U10 girls traveled to Rockyford for exhibition games and their year-end wind-up bash from March 15-16. Over 300 players wrapped up their seasons, with the four Strathmore teams and a Rockyford teams.
Winning effort
ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter Strathmore Minor Ringette hosted U14 Provincials at the Family Centre from March 14-16, with the hometown girls giving their best effort. They placed eighth at the tourna=ment, and gained much needed experience. We played hard, said Sonny Warrack, tournament chair and goalie coach for the U14 squad. Though the wins werent there, the effort was. The U14 Strathmore Ice lost to Red Deer on March 14 by a score of 7-1, and fell in overtime to Calgary East the next day, 5-4. That was a tough one to take. We were leading most of the game, Warrack said. Later that afternoon, ghting fatigue, the Ice took on Spruce Grove. They were the highlight for our team, Warrack said of Spruce Grove, who went on to win bronze. I thought there was a very good possibility we could have won that game. Though the score was 2-1 for the majority of the game, with Strathmore continuously pressing, Spruce Grove pulled away in the last few minutes, and won 3-1. The Ice then played two consolation games on March 16, losing to Medicine Hat and Calgary North. We had played that team several times in the season and almost beaten them before, Warrack said of Calgary North. We just had a bad game against them. The U7, U9, and U10 girls traveled to Rockyford for year-end wind-up bashes for exhibition games, while the 110 girls who played in the provincials tournament partook in a skills competition on March 14. It was a really positive atmosphere. The girls had a riot out there, Warrack said. Strathmore Minor Ringette has already received thank you letters from all over the province from teams for their experience. We did a very good job representing our town overall, as an association. Also, our head organization, Ringette Alberta, complimented us with most people indicating it was the best provincials theyve ever attended, Warrack said. So were really happy about that. Warrack especially wanted to thank all their sponsors and volunteers for their hardwork and dedication. Were thrilled about the involvement of our association members. We need over 100 shifts lled and we did it, he said. It was just a positive weekend for our association. We hope that businesses around the town felt positive effects from it as well.
Hopping season!
The Strathmore Icicles U9 ringette team capped off their season by taking part in the Bunny Bash tournament in Rockyford over the weekend. It was a successful season for the girls, who won more than half of their 23 games this campaign.

The Strathmore Storm bantam B ladies battled against Fort Saskatchewan in a provincial round robin game on March 15, eventually breaking the tie in the third to win 3-2. Later that afternoon however, they lost 7-1 to the Red Deer Chiefs. Due to a tie in standings, and goal differential results, the Storm did not move on to the playoff round.
Three-way tie
ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter The Strathmore Storm Bantam B ladies stepped up their game for the Provincial Championship in Brooks March 13-15. Unfortunately a tie-breaking procedure cost them a chance at moving on. Though the team had a 3-1 record through the round robin, they were tied three ways with Red Deer and Fort Saskatchewan for rst in the pool. Strathmores goal differential was not as tight in comparison to the other two teams, who were able to continue to playoffs. That was a tough one, Storm coach Doug Pagenkoph said. All three teams nished with the same record, and six points. Strathmore had 16 goals for and 10 against, while Red Deer had 18 for but four against, and Fort Saskatchewan had 10 for and three against. They couldnt have given any more. We just couldnt pull her through, Pagenkoph said. One standout was Haylea Crone for the Storm, who led the team with eight points in four games. Her play was outstanding. Shes been great all year, Pagenkoph said. Shes been one of our main leaders. Shes done really well. The rest of Crones teammates also made their shots count; the Storm had the highest team scoring efciency, with 19 per cent of their shots nding www.videogallery the back of the net. strathmore.formovies.com I guess the quality of shots were good ones. We tried to get good quality than forcing, Pagenkoph said. Their rst game of Provincials was a 4-0 win over the Calgary Avalanche on March 13. Brittney Sheller was named the Strathmore player of the game, also earning the shutout.
Against the Lethbridge Hurricanes on March 14, the Storm dominated 8-1. Crone, player of the game, had two goals, as did Hanna Gallant. The squad put 36 shots on goal to Lethbridges 15. The next day, the girls won 3-2 over Fort Saskatchewan in the morning, with Yulisa Solda scoring the game winner at the beginning of the third, but lost in the afternoon 7-1 to the Red Deer Chiefs. Crone scored the lone unassisted goal. Strathmore only had four less shots than Red Deer, and eventually changed from Larissa Hiebert in net to Brittney Sheller, but it was too late. We lost our focus at the start of that game. By the time we had regained the focus in the third, wed dug ourselves deep, Pagenkoph said. They gave everything they had in that third period.

sounded the score was a tight 3-1 in favour of the Ice Warriors. Fans were unaware of what the coaching staff discussed with the Ice Warriors, but they denitely turned it on. When the nal buzzer signalled the end of the game, the Ice Warriors stepped off the ice with a 9-2 victory. The nal game for the Ice Warriors came on Sunday which saw the Ice Warriors take on Sherwood Park Elite. Ice Warriors had played the Elite when they traveled up north for the Sherwood Park Tournament in November. The Ice Warriors were ready to show the Elite all the skills and moves they worked on since they last met. When the whistle sounded to signal the start of the game, you could see both teams wanted the nal win. It was tough competition and the rst goal of the game did not come until 5:34 in the rst period. This goal was scored by the Elite and the rst period ended with the Ice Warriors being shut out 1-0. The little breather between periods was just what the Warriors needed. They came out strong, and at 16:17 they scored their rst goal, followed up by another quick goal at 15:55. Halfway through the second, Elite answered back with a goal of their own and the fans saw a nail-bitter tie game with less than 10
minutes to go! The Ice Warriors scored at the 7:00 mark show them on top. Elite would not give up, and tried everything to get another one past our goalie, Alex Mackey, but defense was tough and offense was even better. In the nal seconds the Ice Warriors put in a nal goal into the empty net and that saw the Ice Warriors take the win off the board with a score of 4-2. Team members consist of Alex Mackey, Grace Praeker, Suzanne Sevcik, Jaylin MacLean, Payton Jenson, Laura Sader, Carly Krahenbil, Cayley Boschee, Meghan Munchrath, Joely Dahm, Olivia Wilson, Cosette Lacroix. A grand and exceptional effort was made by the whole team. The Ice Warriors lost as a team and won as a team. That nal win took away all the tricky little bounces, all the rings that just wouldnt go in, all the girls that got by, all the missed opportunities and reminded the Ice Warriors what a great season they had placing rst in their league play. The Ice Warriors were even coming out of the tournament. There will be a next time, so look out Alberta, Strathmore Ice will see you again!

to play against, he said. Its good when you go to zones to be able to play as many of those teams as you can before you go. Thats a lesson for another year. Looking forward to next year, the team will have no Grade 12s but will play at the senior level. Irvings second-string players received a lot of experience during their rst game at zones, against Acme on March 14, a 64-49 win. Acme usually has quite a strong program, but I think their team was quite young this year. We ended up being up by about 25 at the half, Irving said. That game against Hanna was a good learning experience and gives us more of an idea of what were going to have to do to succeed next year.
It is with sadness that the family of Kara C. Peneyra announces her passing on March 13, 2014 in a collision east of Smoky Lake, AB. Kara was born in Coron, Palawan, Philippines.

First check the windows, there are usually dates in the window panes if the windows are sealed units. Another trick is to check the inside of the toilet tank lid. If the toilet is original you may solve the age mystery there. Another area to check is the electrical panel. Quite often there will be a dated inspectors stamp of the permit placed there. Finally if all else fails, head on over to the local municipality office as they may have the answer in their archives. Another tip, when purchasing an acreage or farm land, have your realtor get an aerial photo of the subject property, especially in winter. It not only shows the boundaries, it also shows low spots which indicate areas where water would collect or the quality of the land (alkalie, etc.).
