Arrest
made in
Langdon
assault
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
A woman who was attacked at
the Botsford Delicatessen in Langdon last week is home and recovering.
Patrick Geddes, 38, from Langdon
was arrested by Calgary Police and
has been remanded into custody.
Geddes has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, attempted
murder and forcible confinement.
On April 16, at approximately 6:20 a.m. a call came in to the
Strathmore
RCMP
detachment
about a woman in her 50s who had
been assaulted in a local business.
The woman, who was reportedly
stabbed, was taken immediately to
hospital by EMS. Police then asked
the public to be on the look-out for
a 2000 blue Chevy Tracker that had
no license plate and was missing
the rear bumper. Police cautioned
against approaching the vehicle if it
was spotted, and instead asked that
911 be called.
Tips that came in helped the investigators find the missing vehicle.
The vehicle was found about 18
hours after the initial event, and it
was found in Calgary as a result
of tips from the public. We actually had several reports throughout
the day of people who had seen it
hours earlier, those reports at least
gave us a general idea of where the
vehicle was headed and what area
it was in, said Sgt. Steve Vince of
the Strathmore RCMP.
Without those types of tips it
would be next to impossible to find
a vehicle in a city of over a million
people.
Vince said the victim and the suspect did casually know each other.
Geddes was scheduled to appear in
Calgary Provincial Court on April
20.

Local musician Jordan Ostrom, also known
as Sykamore, gave a free performance at
Strathmore High School theatre on April 17.
The singer/songwriter was once a student at
Strathmore High and chose it to be the venue

her homecoming concert.
The head table at the Gleichen RCMP Regimental Ball included Lois Koester (l-r), Wheatland County
Reeve Glenn Koester, Siksika Chief Vincent Yellow Old Woman, Vicki Yellow Old Woman, Chrystal
Hamori and RCMP Superintendent Tony Hamori.
Regimental Ball
MANNY EVERETT
Times Contributor
Since they came west in 1874, the
RCMP have been welcomed into each
of the communities they serve, and the
April 18 Regimental Ball at the Gleichen and District Community Hall was
a chance for the Gleichen RCMP Detachment to express their thanks for
that welcome.
This is a chance to say thank-you for
all the support the communities give,
said Gleichen RCMP Staff Sergeant
James McLaren. We couldnt do our job
without it.
The feeling is mutual.
We have a very positive relationship
with the RCMP and we want to continue to build on it with them, said Siksika Chief Vincent Yellow Old Woman.
The hall was filled with over 120
people from the three communities the
detachment serves - Wheatland County,
the Siksika Nation and Vulcan County for an evening of dining, dancing and
fundraising.
RCMP Superintendent Tony Hamori,
who oversees RCMP operations in Alberta from Olds to the U.S. border, said
Most detachments hold a ball every
other year, as a fundraiser, usually for
the local victim services group, as they
are key to the work we do.
Strathmore Victim Services Society,
and with the Gleichen Community Hall
were the beneficiaries of the evenings
fundraising effort.
In his remarks to the gathering,
McLaren noted that when the first

Capsule Comments
Six ounces of orange juice contains about 75 mg of
vitamin C. If you are taking iron supplements, take
it with some orange juice. The vitamin C helps the
body absorb the iron better.
The number-crunchers who keep track of
worldwide life expectancy have reported
the
average life expectancy of the people of the world
in 1990 was 65.3 years. In 2013 it had risen to 71.5
years and if we continue in this manner, by 2030, it
will be 85.3 years. So healthcare is getting better
around the world and we are gaining on many of
the causes of early death like measles, malaria and
diarrhea.
We all are aware of the dangers of smoking. One
danger often overlooked is that its a significant risk
for gum disease. Smoking reduces blood flow to the
gums which deprives them of oxygen and nutrients
that keep them healthy. Smokers are four times as
likely to suffer from gum disease than those who
have never smoked.
If you are going to have surgery soon and are taking
herbal products routinely, it might be advisable to
discontinue them a week or so before surgery. Some
herbals like garlic, ginseng, feverfew, ginkgo and
Devils claw have varied effects on blood clotting
that might result in excessive blood loss during
surgery.
There is a lot of hype out there about herbal
products. There is a phrase that says marketing
outweighs science. What is true and what is hype?
In our pharmacy, we have sources that help us get to
the science of the matter.

Who is my neighbour?
To the Editor
Who is my neighbour? To answer this question, Jesus told a
parable of the Good Samaritan, which speaks directly to the coming Alberta election. In an age of political correctness where politicians hide behind policies and procedures that have the capacity to handicap the dreams and desires of citizens, to mention the
name of Jesus raises the hackles of the politically correct.
Who is my neighbour? In Jesus parable it was the down trodden, the poor citizen set upon and left on the roadside to die.
We have developed many organizations to enable us to meet the
needs of our neighbours with compassion and kindness. But this
Prentice PC government has decided to reduce our incentive to
support groups who are on the front line of having compassion

HE CANNOT FAIL
Therefore know that
the LORD your God, He
is God, the faithful God
who keeps covenant and
mercy for a thousand
generations with those
who love Him and keep
His commandments. Deuteronomy 7:9
God is a covenant keeper. He never forgets His
promises. In the midst of
our greatest battles, His
faithfulness remains sure.
When everything around
us falls apart, His faithfulness remains firm. He is
God when youre down;
He is God when youre
up. He does not depend
on your moods. He just
watches over His word to
perform it. If He promised
it, He will perform it. That
is the nature of our God.
The reality of our walk
with the Lord is that He
never abandons us even
Election 2015
With an election called for May 5, we are asking the candidates questions to help you get to know them better. The
second question is What values would you bring to the
MLA position that you would not compromise and for
which you would be willing to be held accountable?
I value and bring to the MLA position,
accountability, balance, community service, determination and vision.
Accountability is when you make a
promise and you keep it, and you dont
promise anything you cant keep. Before the 2012 election the PC MLA accepted payment for committee work
that he never attended. Our previous Wildrose MLA made the decision
to cross the floor to become part of the PC government. I
promise I will not accept any pay that I havent earned nor
will I ever cross the floor. If a circumstance arises where
my beliefs no longer mesh with the Alberta Party, then I will
inform the people of Strathmore-Brooks and resign to ensure
the constituents have a democratic option in a by-election.
Balance is not fence sitting as some on the right like to
say. Balance is finding common ground that all can agree on
or at least accept. Balance is working together with different
parties to find solutions and not pound out ideology. Balance is also not overspending or under spending, but finding
the right amount and not spending one penny more.
I come from a village where community service has accomplished many great things over the years. They have
built a community hall, arena and curling rink. The villages

coming election because of what I have seen accomplished at the local/municipal level through
effective communication and cooperation. Strathmore-Brooks constituents will receive from me
strong, knowledgeable, friendly, forward-looking
and local representation in the provincial legislature.
If you wanted a snap shot of the words or phrases which best describe me, I am: loyal, a leader,
generous, empathetic, positive, solution oriented.
I listen, I question the status quo and I am respectful of diverse points of view. I take pride in being
a big picture person.
I believe in the leadership of Premier Jim Prentice and his plan for Alberta. I believe I would be
an asset to the Prentice Team and look forward to
using these skills as an MLA to benefit the residents of the Strathmore Brooks Constituency.

County approves
community grant funding
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
Wheatland County Council approved
the Community Enhancement Grant
Funding after a recent assessment of
ongoing projects was done for the area.
The funding, including levy totals, is
$422,919.78.
So what ends up happening typically now that its approved, the cheques
will be put together and they will be
dispersed to the groups. Its an upfront,
so the groups can get going on their
projects, said Alan Parkin, Wheatland
Countys Chief Administrative Officer.
The funds come from the mill rate set
up by the county a number of years ago,
and the Community Enhancement funding is supported by the money collected
from that. This initiative has been ongoing for three years, helping local groups
and organizations fund various projects.
The county set up a mill rate of .1

With the constantly rising food
prices, buying groceries is becoming
harder for more and more families.
We may be seeing savings at the gas
pumps, but the extra money in our
pockets, and then some, is instead
being spent on buying the basics at
our local supermarkets.
A recent partnership between
COBS Bread and the Harvest Healing
Centre is hoping to ease some of that
burden by offering free, fresh bread
to anyone interested, while eliminating the amount of bread tossed away
at the end of the day.
Thanks to the proposal, each and
every weekend the Centre will be
able to hand out dozens of loaves of
bread to those in need in the area.
We had an opportunity that was
presented to us by COBS, and the
conditions from COBS was that we
be charitable and we give it away,
and we have to consistently show
up and take their bread that theyve
made that day, rather than throw it
out, said Pastor Elizabeth Karp.
Members of the Centre knew this
would be an amazing opportunity to
help the community and jumped on
board.
Bread can be very, expensive and
some of this bread is $7 or $8 a loaf,

The UFA Bisons are proud to announce that CFR Chemicals will be their new sponsor starting next season.
Bisons General Manager Wayne Hansen says that what the
company had to offer was a no-brainer decision from the
start of negotiations, which began shortly after the Macs
Midget Tournament in December.
The huge thing for us is both their company and our
organization are very similar in their thought process. They
like to develop their employees and internally were (doing)
the same thing, said Hansen. It was really important when
we started our search that we found a partner. We firmly believe we found a solid partner thats going help us increase
our presence in the community of our brand.
With CFR being a province wide company, it will provide
some exposure wherever the team is.
Were very excited to have CFR on board because they
bring some fresh ideas to the table and theyre going to challenge us to think outside the box, said Hansen.
We underwent this huge change three years ago when
we became a billet program. One of the things that CFR
Chemicals is going allow us to do is theyre going to want
us to expand on that.
CFR Chemicals Operations Manager Jeff Gellately is honoured to have their company involved with the Bisons organization.
Were trying to get our brand out in the mainstream so its
a little more recognizable and when I had heard the Bison
organization was parting ways with UFA, I took it to our
senior managers and we had a discussion, said Gellately.
We contacted the Bisons and we made a pitch that they
appreciated.
What was most appealing to Gellately was the type of program that the Bisons are running.
I think for me personally, its the program that theyve put
together. Our target market is to build our brand and image
in Calgary and although Strathmore and the Bisons are out
of town a bit, they play frequently in Calgary, said Gellately.
Theyre a first class organization and I was familiar with
them. The program theyve put together, the way they build
these young adults into more than just hockey players.
For CFR Chemicals, this is a new identity for them but is a
really exciting opportunity that is presented to them.
In the past CFR has supported hockey teams buy hosting golf tournaments, purchasing jackets, or helping with
signage. This is the first time they have decided to sponsor
a team.
This is a big step for the company to make. The organization for one made it any easy decision and two I think the
mileage and exposure in the game, its all positive for our
organization, said Gellately.
He added that the logo would not have significant changes.
We dont want to change a whole lot of the image of the
Bisons because there is history and personally Im a traditionalist at heart as well.

Strathmore baseball
MacDonald pursuing
wants players to have fun pro rodeo career
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
The 2015 Strathmore baseball season
is shaping up to be another successful
campaign.
There has not been much change
from last year and the association simply wants the kids to enjoy themselves
on the diamond.
The purpose of minor ball is to organize a program where the kids can
have fun and learn the game of baseball, said Strathmore baseball president Daren Kennett.
There will be lots of baseball being
played locally this year will a significant number of kids registered.
We have about 350 kids playing
baseball this year. There is seven girls
teams playing in the Calgary softball league, said Kennett. The baseball (divisions), either will play in the
Baseball Alberta league or theyll play
in a Rocky View league consisting of
Drumheller, Standard, Hussar, Irricana
and Siksika. Well have 75 kids that
are playing t-ball, theres about 60 kids
playing rookie ball, mosquito will have
four teams, peewee will have one play
in the Baseball Alberta League and two
play in the Rocky View league and bantam that will have one in each.
The midget triple A Reds will be playing more home games this year at Kinsmen Park as they are joining the NorWest league.
Theyre our top team in town this
year in the NorWest league and their
big trip this year is going to Tennessee
to play for eight days, said Kennett.
He believes that there is a lot of potential on this team, and that its a team
that will be exciting to watch.
Theyve got some very capable baseball players on that team and its exciting to have some more home games.
Part of the issue with the tournaments,
it that we were always gone and so we
wanted to try to get some home games
and showcase the kids a little more,
said Kennett.
Coaches are always needed and Kennett admits there are always spots to
fill.
We always need more volunteers,
what we do is go through the list to
see if we got coaches and we contact them, if we dont, we go and ask
people to see if theyll coach, said
Kennett.
Strathmore Minor Baseball held
their AGM on April 13, and there
were a few topics that were discussed
which will be addressed during the
course of the season and ones that
may take awhile.
The one major issue was the lack of
facilities in town for baseball.
We have a lot of teams in town
and not enough baseball diamonds.
I think thats probably the biggest issue, Strathmore is not getting smaller,
its only getting bigger, said Kennett.
As an example, Kinsmen Park is the
only place in town that bantams and
midgets can play and we have three
teams playing on that diamond for
the year which is very difficult.
Kennett added they have had a subcommittee approach the town about
an indoor facility but no progress has
been made yet.
The season will officially begin on
May 1.
