Not In My Back YardNew Chestermere Substation Interconnection Project unpopular with residents

By Michelle Young

Along with other hot topics in our community, the newest one that is all a buzz is the Chestermere Substa-tion Interconnection project. FortisAlberta has requested upgrades to the transmission system through the building of a new substation near Chestermere which is meant to help meet the increase capacity and ensure the reliability of the electrical system for years to come. We have all experience the frustration of having the

power knocked out. Sometimes explained by way of vehicle accident that perhaps took out a pole or a severe storm – but even in those instances, is there more that could be done to bring the power back quicker? Does a new substation bring more reliable services?According to AltaLink, “Yes. FortisAlberta, the electric-

ity distribution owner for the City of Chestermere, has requested upgrades to the transmission system to help meet increased capacity and ensure the reliability of the electric system. The new substation will improve the reliability of electricity for the City”. First it’s important to know the role of a substation.

Substations are defined as the connection points between power lines of varying voltages and contain equipment that controls and protects the flow of power. Substations include transformers that step down and step up the voltage so power can be transmitted through transmission lines or distributed to your community through distribu-tion lines. Public consultation on this project started back in Sep-

tember by way of a mailer that went out and also two open houses. One happening back in October and the most recent one was on Monday February 29th at the

Chestermere Recreation Centre. AltaLink representatives were on hand with displays showing details of the project including the proposed location for the new substation. Over the past few weeks, residents learning of the new

substation project have been expressing concerns about the location. There are currently five locations being considered, one of which is SW-2-24-28-W4 in the Kinniburgh Community and one near Chestermere High School – which have residents very unhappy about the project. Chestermere resident, Anna Antoshko‎, has launched a

petition to remove the Kinniburgh location from the pro-ject stating, “Altalink is going to build powerful electrical substation in Kinniburgh community- very close to the residential area (300 meters) - less than 1km to East Lake School and Camp Chestermere”. Antoshko continues, “Residents of Kinniburgh are asking to eliminate Option E and have signed a petition against location in Kinniburgh. We ask that substation instead be built in any of the Op-tions A, B, C or F. The near proximity of Options E to the houses in the Kinniburgh Community and the East Lake School poses fire hazard risk, as electrical substations have been known to catch on fire in the past. The close placement of the substations to the Kinniburgh Commu-nity can potentially affect the health of us the residents. The placement of the substation in the locations of Op-tions E will also decrease the value of the property in our community, therefore directly harming us the residents and the City of Chestermere. We have a choice and Altalink wants to hear from us”. Regarding the proposed location near Chestermere High

School, Scott Schreiner, Vice President of Communica-tions with AltaLink explained, “The safety of the public

and of our employees is a core value for AltaLink. We understand that residents may have concerns regarding Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). The Chestermere High School is located approximately 500 metres away from one of the potential substation locations. At a distance of 100 metres from the power line or substation fence boundary, the levels of EMF produced are typically indistinguishable from background levels. AltaLink also relies on the expertise of organizations like Health Cana-da, which has conducted and reviewed research on this topic for over 40 years. Health Canada has stated “There is no conclusive evidence of any harm caused by expo-sures at levels found in Canadian homes and schools, including those located just outside the boundaries of power line corridors.”At the February 29th open house, residents came out

to listen and to ask questions regarding all aspects of the project and to have their voice heard. Schrein-er explained the next steps saying, “We will continue to engage with community members as we refine our proposed substation locations. We will be updating community members regarding the sites that we intend to recommend to the Alberta Utilities Commission. We plan to submit an application to the AUC for review in the summer of 2016. We encourage participation and invite community members to contact us at any time if they have comments, questions or concerns about the project”.Once AltaLink has completed their consultation pro-

gram, they plan to submit an application with the Alberta Utilities Commission in the summer of 2016. If the pro-ject is approved, construction may begin in the winter of 2017 and be completed by the summer of 2017.

Calling On A Higher PowerSending up prayers for our community

By Michelle Young

It would be naïve to think that in any community everyone would always see eye to eye on everything and never argue, disagree or divide. Chestermere has always been a close knit community that helps each other in times of disaster and tragedy. Gathers together to cele-brate triumphs and special moments. But over the last year, a feeling of division and contention has rocked our city with what feels like one hit after the other. From politics, to flooding, unimaginable loss to econom-

ic disruptions…..residents have found themselves frus-trated, confused and in some cases, angry, at the world we live in – and closer to home, our community. Many times over the past months, many have asked the ques-tion “I just wish I knew the answer” or “I wish it would just get better”. Well, the leaders and membership of Lake Ridge Community Church have started an initiative that although may not solve all our problems, it may at least bring some peace to our community. Lake Ridge Community Church is doing a church-

wide project throughout the month of March where the whole church, each day, is praying for individual people, groups, and leaders in Chestermere. Pastor Preston Pouteaux explained, “Right now things

are not going smoothly for our city and we believe that by praying, we change the way we see others, and invite God’s peace into the challenges we face together. The quote that helped inspire our month of prayer is from Mother Teresa, she was a very active person who changed the culture around her. Yet even she said her love and service began with prayer. She said, “If we pray, we will believe; if we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.” So the question to our people was simply,

“what if we pray?” Will it change the way we love and serve our city? We hope so!”Since starting the project, the church and its members

have prayed for a variety of groups and individuals in our community. The Chestermere Lions Club, Rocky View Schools – specifically Bev LaPeare as she is our trustee, the Chestermere grocery stores and their owners, Camp Chestermere and its staff and leadership and the Chestermere Recreation Centre…and these are just the ones so far. The list is quite impressive as this group took into accounts all who have some influence or role in our community – and just seeing the list of people that make this city the amazing place that it is makes you stop, pause have a moment of gratitude. These sweet prayers are simple but direct with each

having very specific things mentioned. The leaders of Lake Ridge Community Church also want anyone who wishes to participate to do so and they’ve actually pro-vided a little ‘how to’ when it comes to saying a prayer. “Prayer is like a flower bulb. It may be small, but when

rooted by God it has the power to change a barren field into a lush, fragrant garden. Here are four steps you can take to “plant a prayer” for your city: 1. Find a quiet moment, each day, to sit down and

spend time with God. 2. Pray specifically for someone, or a group in our city. 3. Talk and listen. Ask God for help, and thank God.

God hears all kinds of prayer, especially yours. 4. Act. With each person we are praying for, we’ve

included their contact information. Maybe that person or group needs to know that they are being prayed for, that they are important and loved. Imagine how amazing it would be to know that dozens, or hundreds, of people were praying for you? It is powerful.”

Now, it’s also understood that not everyone believes in prayer and a higher power – but there is still something to be said for positive thoughts and energy. So, although you may not feel that praying is your thing, perhaps some positive energy or a kind word or deed is the way that you help lift the spirit in our community. Every day, Lake Ridge Community Church is posting on

their Facebook page whom they are praying for that day. If you want to follow the prayer list, check out: https://www.facebook.com/LakeRidgeCommunityChurch/?-fref=tsPastor Pouteaux added, “It’s a small act, but that’s the

point. Our metaphor throughout this season of prayer, and leading up to Easter, is a flower bulb. Small, but full of beauty and hope. Anyone who prays for our city is doing just that, planting a bulb of beauty and hope. Through prayer, belief, love, and service, spring will come for our city”.

Chestermere Teen Headed To The WHLPortland Winterhawks welcome Matthew Quigley

By Michelle Young

Since Matthew Quigley was a mere tod-dler, the hockey spirit was alive and well inside him. Playing mini sticks at the age of two and playing mini sticks and hockey in the driveway every chance he could, the tremendous talent and athleticism Quigley had was soon noticed by many. “Every young boy growing up in Canada

wants to be able to get the chance to play High Level hockey, and growing up my mom always gave me a chance to play at the highest level I could. My mom played woman’s hockey for years, so this was something we could do together. Plus,

I love the feeling of belonging to a team or club, and a team coming together to create a common goal”, added Quigley. Quigley was born in Calgary but he

and his family moved to Chestermere in 2003. “I have been going to school in Chestermere since grade one, and I am currently in grade 11 at the Chestermere High School”.At the age of 7, Quigley began play-

ing organized hockey right here in Chestermere. Since then, this young man has already had a remarkable career in the sport that he loves.2006/2007 Chestermere Lakers Novice

Winterhawks, they stated, “Matthew is an excellent skater who has the ability to lead the rush or join the attack,” said Portland Winterhawks General Manager & Head Coach Jamie Kompon. “His overall play at the prestigious Mac’s Midget Tourna-ment really impressed our scouting staff. We’re excited to have him under contract and look forward to him advancing his career with the Winterhawks.”So what does the young star think of this

amazing step in his career, “Signing is a dream come true and really a great op-portunity, especially with such a top end organization like Portland. My family and friends are very happy for me and I’d like to thank them for their support that they have given me over the years”.

Chestermere Teen Takes Silver On The SlopesFrom bunny hill to Alberta Winter Games

By Michelle Young

Since Xander Lee was just a little boy, the crisp snowy slopes have been calling to him. Calling Chestermere home his entire life, this twelve year old is already mak-ing a big name for himself in the skiing world. Xander has always had love for the mountains and skiing

and it is the combination of those that have taken him to competitions such as the Alberta Winter Games. Last month at the 2016 Alberta Winter Games, Xander won a silver medal in Freestyle (Mogul) skiing. Mogul skiing is a freestyle skiing competition consist-

ing of one timed run of free skiing on a steep, heavily moguled course, stressing technical turns, aerial maneu-vers and speed. Moguls are a series of bumps on a piste formed when skiers push snow into mounds as they do

sharp turns. This tends to happen naturally as skiers use the slope but they can also be constructed artificially. Once formed, a naturally occurring mogul tends to grow as skiers follow similar paths around it, further deepening the surrounding grooves known as troughs. Since skiing tends to be a series of linked turns, moguls form together to create a bump field. This has been a medal event in the Winter Olympics since 1992. This past weekend, Xander competed at Castle Moun-

tain, winning silver in single mogul and silver in dual mogul. This is Xanders best ranking of 6th overall in province. With this success, he has been invited to Junior National in Ontario next week. When this impressive middle school student isn’t tearing

it up on the slopes, he enjoys mountain biking, wake boarding, camping, swimming, quadding and anything

outdoors explains his mom, Janet Lee. But Xander isn’t the only one in the family who has

developed a love for the slopes. His younger sister, Tarra, is also in freestyle skiing and is competing at club level competitions and plans on following her big brothers footsteps to provincials in a year or two when she is old enough to compete. “We are very proud of him for meeting his personal

goals. We look forward to seeing his successes in the future”, says mom Janet. And what does that future look like? Well, Xander says

he hopes to have the honour to represent Canada on the world stage.Congratulations Xander and good luck!

Community Input Needed For Off-Leash Area Study

March, 7 2016 – For immediate release Chestermere, AB –The City has begun

an off-leash / dog park management study and is looking for your input! “City staff are collecting information

about the current off-leash area in order to ensure our park spaces are welcoming and respectful for all park and trail users,” said Katelyn Richards, Community Recreation Coordinator at the City of Chestermere. The City has already begun consulting

the public by speaking with animal experts (veterinarians, animal trainers etc.) to get their thoughts on off-leash/dog park etiquette, park safety and dog owner responsibilities. Next, an online survey will be created

and distributed to the community to collect information about concerns, needs and expectations for off-leash spaces in Chestermere. The online survey will be made avail-

able on March 9 and all residents are encouraged to complete it. Your input

is very important to evaluate the current space and plan for future park spaces in Chestermere.Finally, information collected from the

survey will be addressed in an off-leash workshop open to Chestermere residents. More information about the workshop will be made available shortly. “We are thrilled to have the ability to

connect with residents and get their val-ued feedback on the current off-leash area and trail,” said Richards.Following the survey and workshop,

Parks and Recreation will present Council with recommendations provided from this consultation process and their research in May 2016. A copy of the report will be released to the community. The City’s current off-leash area is locat-

ed at the northwest end of Chestermere Lake. More information about the park

Leavin’ It Be For NowCity of Chestermere withdraws annexation application and is headed to mediation with RVC

By Michelle Young

In December 2015, a frustrated City of Chestermere submitted an application to the Minister of Municipal Affairs requesting the annexation of 25,000 plus acres of land that is currently under Rocky View County jurisdic-tion. At that time, Mayor Patricia Matthews explained the decision by saying, “We have done everything we can to work with Rocky View County even up to re-cently offering to go through a mediation process, but they chose not to participate in that so we have no other choice. We have done everything we possibly can. This move to annex these lands is in an effort to control our own density. They (RVC) are effectively boxing in our

entire region with bad development”. Chestermere and Rocky View County res-

idents had a variety of reactions to this an-nouncement. Concerned about taxation, jurisdiction, servicing and development…..the uncertainty of what the outcome of this possible annexation weight heavily on area residents. Well, worry no more as it was announced on March 2, 2016 that the City of Chestermere has withdrawn their application for annexation.

Based on comments by Rocky View’s legal counsel at the Municipal Government Board hearing that the appeal under section 690 of the Municipal Government Act will freeze development in the Conrich area, as well as agreement to an Inter-municipal Committee meeting in Chestermere to discuss the Inter-municipal Development Plan (a good neighbour document), Chestermere City Council has renewed faith that Chestermere’s concerns can be met through the mediation process and ultimately a decision by the Municipal Government Board. “We have been trying since June 2015 to get into

mediation with Rocky View County, particularly over the Conrich area”, explained Mayor Matthews.

“We are entering the me-diation process with open minds and open hearts that this will result in a good, sustainable development in Conrich,” said Mayor Patricia Matthews. “We want to give this appeal the opportunity to run its course unfettered by the annexation application and believe that Chestermere residents will be protected by the freeze on develop-ment until it does.”Council passed the follow-

ing motion at a special meeting of Council on Tuesday, March 2nd - “That Council direct the Chief Administra-tive Officer to submit a letter to the Minister of Municipal Affairs requesting withdrawal of the annexation applica-tion of Rocky View County lands in order to allow the mediation process, under the 690 appeal, to be complet-ed unfettered”. Following the announcement by the City of

Chestermere that they were withdrawing their appli-cation, Rocky View County says that they are satisfied with this decision. “It would be too strong to say we’re pleased with Chestermere Council for making the right decision in abandoning this annexation. Their ill-fated actions cost Rocky View County, the Province, and the citizens of Chestermere a great deal of time and money. It caused many of our senior citizens, residents, and busi-ness owner’s great stress. The annexation attempt should never have happened, and we’re satisfied Chestermere has finally recognized their error,” said County Reeve Greg Boehlke. “Things are now moving forward as they should, and Rocky View County will continue to embrace any legitimate ideas our neighbours may have about making the region strong,” Boehlke said.Mayor Matthews continued saying, “We are going into

this with open minds and open hearts that this is going to resolve in a positive sustainable development. Which is good for us, good for them and good for the region and we sincerely hope that Rocky View continues to keep up the forward momentum so that we can get this done. The concerns we had have now been addressed and we wanted to show as much good faith as possible so we pulled the application. We believe this process has a potential to address the things we need to have ad-dressed. So, let’s take a step back and focus on one thing that will get us to where we need to go. Their community and our community form one community. We should be doing what’s right for the entire community regardless of whose jurisdiction it’s in and an unstainable plan is bad for everybody. A good regional plan is good for not only them and for us but for the region. Let’s put it together”.

Calgary, AB, Feb. 29, 2016 - For the first

time in more than two decades, STARS’

Alberta Lottery is in danger of not selling

out. The lottery has a 23-year history in

the province and is the only charitable

home lottery in Canada to set records by

selling out every year since it began. How-

ever, our stormy economic climate has

led to slumping ticket sales in the lottery’s

2016 edition.

“The reality is, STARS is available 24

hours a day, seven days a week and we

have been for 30 years. We will contin-

ue to be here, but we need your help to

make that possible,” said Andrea Rob-

ertson, president and CEO of STARS.

“The lottery funds the equivalent of one

STARS base, and I would like to appeal to

Albertans to help STARS be there for the

next patient that needs us.”

In light of the financial hardship many

are facing, there has been a strong de-

mand for smaller ticket packages. To make

the lottery more affordable, some of the

larger ticket sets have now been reconfig-

ured into $25 and $60 packages.

STARS recognizes that times are tough

for many, so the organization is asking

its loyal supporters to find the means to

support the lottery in any way they can,

just like Alvin Fry did.

“I have been a supporter of the lottery

for years and believe that buying tickets

is a great way to show my support,” said

Alvin Fry, the $25,000 winner of the 2016

loyalty draw, held earlier this year. “Win-

ning is really exciting – it will help us out

so much this year.”

Like other charities, STARS has seen a

decline in individual, corporate and event

fundraising in recent months and there

is now an even greater need for public

support.

“We recognize that this type of public

appeal is unusual for STARS, but these are

unusual times for everyone,” said Robert-

son.

STARS operates from three bases in the

province of Alberta. One-third of STARS’

operating budget is funded by lottery

revenue, which netted more than $11

million in 2015.

In the early days of STARS, the organi-

zation relied heavily on public support to

get it off the ground. Thirty years later, the

organization still counts on Albertans to

keep STARS in the sky for years to come.

LEELA SHARON AHEER, MLA

Lo-fi NeighbouringYears ago, when I was studying in Van-

couver, one of my professors had a simple way of connecting with his students that has stuck with me for years. He and his wife would invite groups of his students to his home to eat soup. After welcom-ing us in, he’d gesture into the kitchen, “Grab a mug and a spoon, the soup is on the stove.” In his kitchen, he built a series of shallow shelves that covered much of one wall. On the shelves were dozens of large soup-sized mugs. With that simple invitation, we would ladle up some soup from a big warm pot on the stove, butter up a bun, and enjoy our time together. My professor’s soup nights became more than soup, they became a fond memory. For a few hours we would talk and laugh about family, life, ideas, and books, finishing the night by doing the dishes and helping clean up. It was perfect.Creating meaningful memories with oth-

ers is often lo-fi. Relationships are formed around simple moments of hospitality, maybe around soup, with stories and ideas. In a hi-def world where most of our relationships are found through the screen of our computer, it’s almost radical to suggest that we start getting together to eat soup.Maggie Stuckey writes about how soup

changed her neighbourhood. A resident of Portland, she found that regular soup nights profoundly transformed the street where she lives. She writes in her book, Soup Night, “At its core, Soup Night is a stunningly simple idea: get everybody together once a month for an informal soup supper. What is not so simple - what is in fact quite extraordinary - is what happens next. A strong sense of commu-

nity replaces isolation. People no longer feel like strangers and children thrive in a safe environment, watched over by many loving adults.”But here’s something they didn’t expect

about their simple soup night suppers together. People heard about the vibrant community that was coming together on her street. Soup nights led to friendships, which led to more fun, and even support during difficult seasons of life. Her neigh-bourhood became the kind of neighbour-hood where people want to live. One of her neighbours, Marty, writes, “Everybody wants to live on this street. People go door to door, trying to find someone who is thinking about selling.” Could you imagine if the people on your street meant so much to you that you were not willing to move, and others were knocking on your door asking if they could buy your home? Imagine a future where the quality of our neighbourhoods and the depth of our re-lationships actually made Chestermere the most uniquely desirable city in Alberta?This lo-fi vision of neighbouring is certain-

ly simple, almost simple enough to try our-selves. Consider what it would take to plan a soup night, this month, for the people on your street or in your neighbourhood. If you have a pot, a favourite soup recipe, and a willingness to invite others over, then you’re ready. Creating the kind of city and neighbour-

hoods we want begins with us, today. Fos-tering healthy neighbourhoods in challeng-ing times may not be exotic, in fact our very best work may happen as we sit long, laugh easily, and share a meal together. “Welcome, the soup is on the stove.”

halcyon days of my squandered youth, I have moved on to more refined tipples, as would befit a seasoned gentleman such as myself.The easiest way to class up an Irish event is

by switching to whiskey instead of beer, which implies gently sipping in a rustic old club with plenty of dark wood and overstuffed leather chairs, instead of pounding back brewskis while wearing a leprechaun hat.Yes, gentle reader, if there ever was a time to

drink Irish whiskey, this would be the time.For those not familiar with the spirits of the

Emerald Isle, Ireland tends to punch above its weight in the world of booze.For the whiskey purists, there is Scotch Whisky

from Scotland, Irish Whiskey from Ireland, Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey from the USA, and Canadian Whisky from our home and native land.There is a wee bit of whisky produced in Ja-

pan, India, and New Zealand, but they are not major players on the world stage. Even China is trying to get into the game, but it is mostly rot-gut produced only for domestic consumption. Our claim to fame here in Canada is Rye

Whisky, with our abundant rye grains lending a subtle spiciness to our national spirit. That’s why you saw Don Draper drinking nothing but Canadian Club in his 3-martini lunches on Mad Men, and why the Manitoba-based Crown Roy-al Northern Harvest recently won the coveted 2016 World Whisky of the Year award.Here in Canada, we actually have very few

regulations on how our whisky is made. Most distillers use a mix of rye and barley, sometimes with a bit of corn thrown in to keep the price down, but the amount of each grain is not restricted.A 100% rye whisky is actually quite rare, so

feel a bit of local pride about Alberta Premium, a whisky made entirely from local rye grains, produced in the Alberta Distilleries plant in Calgary.Our Yankee neighbours to the south have more red tape to deal with, requiring American

Rye Whiskey to be made from at least 51% rye, and Bourbon Whiskey to be made from at least 51% corn.Scotland is still the king of the hill in the whis-

ky world, even though most historians agree that it was Irish monks who introduced distilla-tion to Scotland.The biggest difference between Irish Whiskey

and the better-known Scotch Whisky is that Irish Whiskey is distilled three times for added smoothness, instead of the two cycles through the still that is more common for Scotch Whis-ky.Irish Whisky is also made from barley cooked

over a closed oven, rather than the open peat fires used in Scotland, which results in a less smoky flavour. While the whisky geeks of the world love their

harshly peated single malt Scotch, the teeming millions of the mass market prefer a smoother taste, which is what Irish Whiskey aims for.Irish Whiskey has played second fiddle to

Scotch Whisky for nearly 100 years, but this was not always the case. Up until the dark days of Prohibition in the USA from 1920-1933, Irish Whiskey was the most popular whiskey in the USA, in no small part due to the large popula-tion or Irish immigrants in cities like Boston and New York.Coinciding with the loss of their biggest export

market was the Irish War of Independence, shortly followed by the Irish Civil War of 1922. When the dust finally settled, the Irish whis-key industry was in ruins, and took decades to recover.Fortunately for the tipplers of the world, the

Irish whiskey industry began a renaissance in the 1990s, making Irish Whiskies the fast-est-growing segment of the booze industry for the last several years. The big brands of Irish Whiskey are Black

Bush, Bushmills, Jameson, and Tullamore Dew, all of which can be found in pretty much any neighbourhood booze merchant or drinking establishment. My personal favourite is Tullamore Dew, which

can usually be found on the shelves around the $40 mark, and is a particularly easy-drinking and smooth blended whiskey, with notes of spice, vanilla, and toasted oak on the palate. So, if you are a whisk(e)y drinker, give that

tired old Bourbon or predictable Scotch a pass, and try out an Irish Whiskey for yourself!

Chestermere pursues mediation with Rocky View County and withdraws annexation applicationMarch 2, 2016 – For immediate release

Chestermere, AB – Today Chestermere officials announced that they will be with-drawing their request to the Minister of Municipal Affairs to annex land in Rocky View County. Based on comments by Rocky View’s

legal counsel at the Municipal Govern-ment Board hearing that the appeal under section 690 of the Municipal Govern-ment Act will freeze development in the Conrich area, as well as agreement to an Inter-municipal Committee meeting in Chestermere to discuss the Inter-munici-pal Development Plan (a good neighbour document), Chestermere City Council has renewed faith that Chestermere’s con-cerns can be met through the mediation process and ultimately a decision by the Municipal Government Board. “We are entering the mediation process

with open minds and open hearts that this will result in a good, sustainable devel-

opment in Conrich,” said Mayor Patricia Matthews. “We want to give this appeal the opportunity to run its course unfet-tered by the annexation application and believe that Chestermere residents will be protected by the freeze on development until it does.”Chestermere moved forward with the

annexation request (under section 125 of the Municipal Government Act) when the Conrich Area Structure plan was approved by Rocky View Council on December 8, 2015 without consideration to Chestermere or Calgary’s stated con-cerns. As it exists currently, the Conrich ASP has the potential to negatively impact Chestermere and its residents but hope-fully the proposed mediation process will bring Chestermere’s concerns to light and changes can be made to the plan. Chestermere had also passed first reading

of the Inter-municipal Development Plan while Rocky View Council has not cur-rently, formally reviewed the document.

Slow and SteadyWhile I hope this doesn’t sound too

wishful, the end of winter is near. With a weekend of double digit temperatures and a forecast full of warm weather I am ready to say goodbye to old-man winter and get on with Spring! With sunny days top of mind there is a renewed interest to meet those fitness goals and and lose those last few inches.When building your workout schedule

don’t forget to plan for some down time too.Quite frequently I will have a new client

sign on for training sessions, and before I know it they are booking into every one of my classes or training sessions with me every day. It is great to be excited about a new goal and eager to see results and achieve those goals. At the same time, it is important to remember that saying: slow and steady wins the race. Overtraining happens. It is important to

listen to your body and know the signs of overtraining. While there are a number of signs to watch for, here are some of the most common:Decreased performance. As you train,

you should be progressing steadily over time: getting stronger or faster. If you find you are getting weaker, slower or have lowered endurance levels you may be overtraining.Increased effort required. As overtrain-

ing takes a toll on the body, workouts that were at one time achievable can be more difficult or impossible.Excessive fatigue. If you don’t give your

body a chance to fully recover from a pre-vious workout you may continue to feel more and more fatigued. It is common for muscles to feel tired after a workout. This fatigue should not last multiple days.Ongoing muscle aches or joint pain.

Muscle soreness from a workout is com-mon and should diminish after a couple of days. Overused muscles and joints can cause constant aches that last for days after a workout.Irritability or lack of concentration. Too

much exercise and too little rest can cause mood swings and difficulty concentrating. Frequent illnesses and respiratory infec-

tions. A nagging cold or consistent head-aches might be a sign of overtraining. Too much exercise can make your body more susceptible to illness and infections. Restless sleep or insomnia. Sleep is re-

quired to repair the body. An overtrained body, find rest difficult making it more difficult to recover between workouts.Loss of appetite. If you have increased

your daily physical activity, your appetite should increase as well. A decrease in ap-petite is a good indicator that something isn’t right.All of these signs of overtraining should

not go unnoticed and should not be an excuse to stop training altogether. Try cutting back on the intensity, frequency or duration of your workout. Consider changes to your plan: swap a weightlift-ing session for yoga or a high impact class for a long walk and give your body the rest and time for recovery that it needs.

IMPROVING BALANCE AND STABILITYBy Shawn Marie Watson, Lifepath Wellness

With Dr. Julian Politylo, Lifepath Wellness Centre

Serious injuries can result after a fall; I know this first-

hand because my father recently fell down all of 5 stairs,

and ended up breaking his back and neck. When an

injury results after an accident of any sort, loved ones are

often left to wonder how the situation could have been

prevented. Most falls are a result of losing your balance.

Chiropractor Dr. Julian Politylo offers us some simple tips

on how to improve your balance and stability in order to

prevent falls.

Improve Your StabilityStrong legs help to reduce your chance of falling

because sturdy legs stabilize your core muscles. Simple exercises such as lunges and squats are an easy way to increase the muscle mass in your legs. Leg lifts increase muscle and improve flexibility.

Start with Brisk Walking or Jog-gingWalking and jogging

are two of the sim-plest ways to increase strength and stability in your legs, and to improve balance. The only equipment required is a good pair of shoes that supports your feet and ankles. Walking or jogging can be done alone or as a group, you can walk round the mall, a running track, or outside in your neighbourhood. The options are endless!

Think Outside the Box

Balance is affected by more than your leg strength. It is important to identify extenuating factors that could contribute to a fall. Poor eyesight, medications that cause dizziness, and many health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease can negatively affect your balance and stability. Annual eye exams, eating a healthy diet, and

talking to your physician about medications that affect your balance is a great place to start.

See Your ChiropractorA visit to see your chiropractor can help improve your

balance and stability by restoring the alignment of your musculoskeletal system. Instability can be caused by the mis-alignment of your joints, muscles and bones.

Chiropractic adjustments can bring back the correct alignment of this important body system, which will improve your overall health and wellness.

Chestermere Fire Services & Chestermere Lakers Hockey Team Honour Markus Lavallee’s Legacy

Submitted by Megan Matthies

Chestermere, AB – Tragedy struck twice for the commu-nities of Chestermere and Strathmore in the summer of 2015 as two remarkable young men were lost in sepa-rate vehicle accidents. Jaydon Sommerfeld and Markus Lavallee were well known in the local sports community as outstanding athletes and strong team players.As the fall hockey season began, Chestermere Lakers

coach Ted Laing wanted to do something significant to honour Markus’ legacy in particular as he had grown up playing his tyke, novice, atom, and peewee with the Lakers team and had eventually reached the M15 Raiders and Strathmore’s Midget AAA team. “Markus was a great leader that kids could look up to on

and off the ice,” said Laing. “We dedicated our season to his memory but wanted to really remind the kids of what he stood for and encourage them to ‘play like Markus’.”Inspired by the Calgary Flames’ tradition of giving a

fire helmet to outstanding players, Laing contacted Chestermere Fire Services (CFS) to see if they would be interested in helping out. “The professionalism and team work that firefighters

demonstrate are the things we also want our players to emulate, so we felt that partnering with them would be a good fit,” said Laing.

The fire crews were more than happy to support the team. “When Coach Ted approached us, I thought this was a great way to help promote the strong values that Markus lived by - values that we share as firefighters,” said Acting Fire Chief Brian Pomrenke.The crews ended up providing not only a helmet but

informally adopting the team for the season. They gave the players a tour of the department, hosted dryland training sessions at the fire hall gym and attended games when possible.“There are so many parallels between a hockey team

and the emergency services team. It’s been fantastic for our crews to be able to act as mentors to this group of young people. Working with the team has been a great reminder to us that you really can have a big impact even with small actions,” said Pomrenke. Small acts of inspiration were recognized at the end

of each game, when the helmet that CFS provided was given to the player who had shown the most heart and worked the hardest, someone who had ‘played like Markus.’ By the end of the season, every player had been awarded the helmet. On Sunday, January 24th, at the team’s last regular sea-

son game, the helmet, bearing the signature and number of each player, was presented to Shantelle Lavallee, Markus’ mom.

“We wanted to let her know that the whole community is still behind her,” said Laing. “We are still thinking of Markus and the want to let her know that his legacy will not be forgotten.”“Words can not express the gratitude, love and sup-

port we feel for this thoughtful and kind gesture from Coach Ted, the Peewee players, their parents and the Chestermere Fire Department,” said Shantelle. “To honor Markus in such a way, warmed our hearts in a way that we’ll forever remember. The Play Like Markus award that was gifted to our family to honor Markus and the many years he played in Chestermere as a Laker will be treas-ured in our family all the years of our lives. Thank you also Wyatt, the team’s captain, for the amazing presenta-tion. We know Markus was so proud, as were we.”The Lakers are currently in the playoffs and the crews at

Chestermere Fire Services wishes them the best as they wrap up their season.“It has meant a lot to our crews to be able to work with

this great group of young players and be inspired by them in return,” said Pomrenke. “We plan to cheer them on as they finish this season and hope that we can keep this partnership going for many more years to come.”For more information about Chestermere Fire Services,

LEELA SHARON AHEER, WILDROSE MLA

Hello Chestermere!

Do you ever think of all the things you use in a day that are made out of pet-ro-chemicals? It is truly amazing when you think of your daily life, and the impact that these products have on your quality of life. The very computer I am typing this article on was created by using petro-chemicals not only in its materials, but also in the process used to mold the plastics in the screen, the key board, and the stand. Oh yes, the chair I am sitting on is also made out of plastics. Propane becomes propylene and is then trans-formed into polypropylene. Ethane to ethylene to polyethylene. Detergents and synthetic fibers, which most of us wear now a days come from petro-chemicals. I mean I personally do not know how I would live without Lycra... Seriously! Yoga wear, the mats, the studio floor, the hair elastics, your favorite running shoes, the back pack you hike with, the diapers you put on your baby, your toothbrush, are all created wholly or partly from petro-chemicals. It is astonishing when you think of it, and thought provoking when you consider what life would look like without these items we have come to depend on. The question is then, how do we reconcile our desire to do better for our environment, and continue living this blessed life we are so lucky to have not only because of family and friends

but because of the creature comforts we have come to expect. Could you live without your TV? What about your iPad, or cell phone? Definitely. What I mean is that you could survive. But how about heating your home and driving your car at an affordable price? What about fresh vegetables in the winter? They don’t walk here. The point is that we must protect our environment and continue to pro-duce, and market our energy resources. The energy industry in Alberta is at the forefront of regulatory and environmen-tal standards that protect our water, our air and our way of life. The people who work in our energy industry live here too. They are innovative, and look for ways to improve their environmental footprint at every opportunity. There have been mistakes but there have also been ex-tra-ordinary achievements in technology that will take us forward. We have been accused of having a poor environmental record by our government. We have been told that our government will set the stage for us to be “genuinely proud”. I don’t know about you, but I already am! Alberta has been compared with 9 other oil producing jurisdictions and we are the second most stringent next to Australia. We are even further ahead than Norway for ongoing reclamation and remediation when it comes to comprehensive laws surrounding the environment. Does that mean we should not attempt to do better? Of course not. We want to be the best, but we should not sacrifice the energy in-dustry and all the other indirect businesses that support our prosperity. The govern-ment needs show leadership in standing up for Albertans. The government should not have to be told this. Be strong and proud Alberta!

As always, we love to hear from you.Leela Sharon Aheer, MLA

SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALLThe Varsity Girls quest for a Rocky View league title be-

gan on Thursday when they hosted the George McDou-gall Mustangs in a semi-final matchup. Despite a slow start offensively, the Chestermere girls stepped up in the next three quarters and walked off the court with a 66-40 win to advance to the Championship Final. In the gold medal game against the Bert Church Chargers on Satur-day, both teams stood tall defensively and battled down to the last two minutes. The team never trailed through-out the game but had to score a couple of late baskets and made some clutch free throws to capture the title in an exciting 45-38 victory. The team now has its sights set on the South Central League title and a berth into the Provincial Championships. The girls play their first round game, on Wednesday, at CHS at 6:00.

SENIOR BOYS’ BASKETBALLThe Lakers started off their playoff run on a great note.

The Lakers finished with a 6-0 league record which ensured them a 1st round bye. In the semi final game they faced the Cochrane Cobras. The Lakers found themselves in a hole after the 1st quarter, down 20-11. The team found their game and pulled ahead and never looked back winning 85-70. This led the Lakers to the Rocky View Divisional Championship game against Bert Church. The Lakers started out strong and grabbed an early lead that they would hold onto the whole game. The Lakers won the Championship 78-62 earning them their 3rd Divisional Championship in a row and 4th in 7 years. This leads the Lakers into the South Central Zone

Championship where the Lakers are the #1 seed. The Lakers will open zones with a home game on Wednesday at 7:45.

JV GIRLS’ BASKETBALLThe JV Girls team continues to have an outstanding sea-

son despite having 13 rookies in the lineup. With a 2nd place league finish the Lady Lakers earned a first round playoff bye. In the semi-final game the girls were up against a scrappy McDougall Mustangs squad. Shaking off some nerves, the girls used their relentless full court pressure to power them selves to a 45-27 victory. Earning a spot in the league final the girls were up against the undefeated Cochrane Cobras. The girls played outstand-ing defense and gave their best effort pushing the Cobras to the very end, eventually losing 39-33. The team is proud of its 2nd place finish and looks forward to having another crack at Cochrane at the JV Zone Championships this weekend.

JV BOYS’ BASKETBALLIn a pivotal showdown with George McDougall, the JV

boys played a brilliant game. Unfortunately, they fell 75-72 in front of a raucous road crowd. After falling behind early, the Lakers never quit. An impending re-match with the Mustangs on Tuesday will decide who earns a berth at the JV Zone Championship.

FORD WITT AT WRESTLING PROVINCIALSBest of luck to Ford Witt who will participate in the

ASAA Provincial Wrestling Championship this weekend in Sherwood Park. Ford has been training hard after winning the Rural Provincial Championship two weeks ago.

AND COMMUNITY SPORTS 21| March • 10 • 2016 | The Chestermere Citynews

~ Basketball Playoff Preview Edition ~

The Senior Varsity girls have been working hard all season to attempt to recapture the magic they found last year when they went all the way to the City Finals. While the team is comprised of mostly the same personnel, the players that have changed have required the girls to form an entirely new identity. They now attempt to get wins with their defence and as the season wore on, they started to get improved results. Now, in their first game of the playoffs, they get a chance to avenge their finals loss from last season as they get a rematch with Forest Lawn in the quarter finals. They will be leaning heavily on some of their senior players to carry the load. Isabelle Albert, Becca Sikorski and Janae Madayag have carried the bulk of the scoring load for the team while Carley Hauser has provided great leadership for the group. Leslie Luu has been a steady player on both ends of the floor while Brianna Lopez and Cassy Lucas have contributed important minutes coming off the bench. One of the newcomers, Meghan Wiebe, has become a defensive specialist and often helps drive the girls’ transition game. While, the seniors are called on a lot, the two grade 11 players on the team are of equal importance. Brooke Wynnyk is arguably the team’s best player and Brooklyn Jarvis, another newcomer, has made great strides as a post presence. If the girls can click, they could be in for a fun week, but regardless of their playoff results, they’ve had a good season and have been a lot of fun to watch.

The Junior Varsity girls started off the season hot with two wins in a row. That may have set up unrealistic expectations for this group of exclusively grade 10 students and they struggled to find results in the games to follow. On their last game of the season, however, the girls managed to take a thrilling win over the highly ranked Henry Wise Wood and that should give the girls some confidence as they head to Father Lacombe for their quarter final playoff game. While the Varsity girls struggled to transition through losing a couple of their players from last season, the JV girls had to deal with significant roster turnover during theirs, which could help explain some of the struggles. Losing three players and gaining one had its growing pains and also required the girls to play with just 8 players, but those 8 girls have really started to come into their own. April Reaso, Soleil Philador and Cassie Leil are bulldogs at guard and Adrianne Camacho has developed greatly and become a key contributor. Perhaps the most improved player on the team is Aedyn Kirinic, who is playing basketball for the first time and has quickly become one of the team’s most important players. Hannah Papke and Kayla Poku are key players at the forward position and play both ends of the court well, while Tina Jozlejic, who joined halfway through the season, immediately turned into one of the team’s best. It’s been a great season of development and with a little luck, the girls have the potential to make a cinderella run in the playoffs.

The Junior Varsity boys have been the most consis-tent team in the school this season. They have be-come a contender in the league with their smothering defence and have earned themselves a home playoff game for their efforts. They’ll have to battle through a bit of adversity, however, as they enter the post sea-son with three of their four post players struggling through different injuries. Nathan Herras, one the team’s top scorers and most experienced players, suf-fered a knee injury in their final game. Manny Ali is hampered by a calf injury that he’s struggled through all season and Luc Beaudoin rolled his ankle last week. That puts a lot of pressure on Owen O’Reilly to put up big minutes for the team, but he’s more than capable. Although, only in grade 10, he’s quickly become one of the top players on the team. At the guard position, Jacob Magat and Jarrett Kind - who are counted on to lead the team - will have to be at their best to ensure success while Brandel Neboh, who started the season as a defensive specialist, will have to continue to shoot the ball as well as he has down the stretch. It might, however, be the other grade 10 players who are the X-factors for the playoffs. Andre Lopez, Jared Madayag and Ethan Monaghan have been big players all sea-son and Jack Christy is probably the most improved player, becoming one of the team’s best rebounders. If Christy isn’t the most improved, then Harry Ran-dawha certainly is. Regardless of the outcome, it will be fun to see how the boys cap off a great season.

Dear Editor,

Here is an open letter to the city regard-ing the Council Meeting held February 18, 2016

Two key questions arose at the recent Chestermere City Council meeting of Feb-ruary 18 that resulted in a vote for an ap-proximately 17% rate increase on utilities for area residents. The first question most residents had was what factors led council to this decision and why these issues were not clearly outlined at the meeting. The second question was why council chose to disallow public discussion on the matter.On the obviously sensitive issue of the

rate increase and council’s acceptance of it, the Mayor suggested residents should speak with a councillor individually, after the meeting. However, it was clear from my own experience that councillors had no intention of following through on this direction. At the end of the council meeting I requested a meeting with a Council Member. I asked the individual what factors and information were used in the decision to increase utility rates. I explained that if I could better understand the real facts used to support the increase, I would have a better understanding of the issues facing the council and could provide a better explanation to my family. The councillor however, was not inter-

ested in aiding my understanding and actually indicated that they didn’t really understand the issues by explaining that they did not understand utilities and were not an accountant. The councillor further explained the decision was based on the information provided by the “experts”. However, it is my understanding that the “experts” council previously relied on also ran a deficit of $1.4 million dollars for the past three years and a fact of which coun-cil was unaware until recently.My frustration with council’s obvious

dismissal of public concern in regards to the rate increase was shared by other at-tendees. Many were very upset when they found out they could not ask questions

publicly and as a result two attendees who made their feelings clear on the matter were escorted out by peace officers. Also, the fact that council felt the need for a police presence for this meeting illustrates council’s callous disregard for public input and debate.Along with concerns regarding council’s

conduct at the February meeting, there are also questions arising from the Con-sultant Report on the 2016 Rate Increase. This report suggests there are potential accounting concerns and possible ac-counting policy changes that need to be implemented. Area residents would like to know have these concerns been dealt with and are the accounting issues behind us? Many of these concerns and questions

could easily have been handled by setting aside time at the end of the meeting, or even moving the question period to a separate forum. Area residents should be allowed an opportunity to ask questions of City Council in a public forum about this very sensitive topic. Although allowing such a question period would have result-ed lively and pointed discussion, people would have still left with the feeling they had a bit of input into the matter. Coun-cil must remember that they were voted in by the residents of Chestermere and they deserve respect. The majority of the residents in attendance felt disrespected and sidelined.In my opinion, the information present-

ed in the Herald article was generic and created to give the public a general idea of the issues. No numerical facts support-ing council’s decision were published. In my analysis of the Review of Chestermere Utilities Inc. Request for 2016 Rate In-crease consultant report I have identified a few key points that I feel are red flags:• Accounting practices used by the

CUI were questioned• CUI reports 25% system water losses

(This was 40% in 2012. An accept-able rate is 8%- 10%)

• It is speculative on the CUI’s part to project there may be no need for an

increase in 2017• There are three reasons that a 25%

rate increase may not be large enough

• New practices used by the CUI to calculate normal utility rates purports to include relevant costs

• There could be room for a 15% increase rather than a 25% increase

As a resident of Chestermere I feel such major cost increases to property taxes and utility charges must be reviewed very carefully and with attention paid to the

details. Decisions of this magnitude affect more than 5,500 resident home owners and about 220 business customers in the city of Chestermere. With such a large group affected it was an eye opening ex-perience for me to see how out senior city leaders demonstrated their handling or this in case – mishandling, of such issues.

ObituaryMAILLOT, Patricia Anne

(Patti)Born: March 5, 1954 -

Calgary, AlbertaPassed Away: March 5, 2016 - Calgary, Alberta It is with sad hearts we

announce the passing of a beautiful wife, mom and grandma on March 5, 2016 at the age of 62 years after a hard fought

three-year battle with brain cancer. The eldest of three siblings, Cheryle (Gary) Brandner and Kevin (Pat) Payne, Patti is survived by her parents Ann and Bill Payne of Calgary and will be lovingly remembered by her husband and best friend of 43 years, Allan Maillot, their oldest daughter Nicole (Kelsey) Johnson and grandsons Bryant (17), Carter (15), their son Jared (Darby) Maillot and granddaughter Kalia (8) and grandson Griffin (5) all of Chestermere, Alberta. Patti was born in Calgary at the Holy Cross Hospital on March 5, 1954. Patti graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1972 and worked for the Bank of Montreal for 27 years, retiring 8 years ago to take care of her parents, grandchildren and travel with her husband. Patti’s family was her greatest passion. The door to her home was always open and the house always full of noise, chaos and wrestling matches, footballs, Bar-bie dolls and laughter. Patti loved to cook and it didn’t matter who was around, you were always welcome. As long as you stayed out of her kitchen and let her cook, she was going to feed you. Her smile was warm and her laughter infectious. She will be remembered for that laugh, bent over, legs crossed, tears running, fully body laugh. She was the warmest, most caring individual who would help at any cost for no reason at all. Her passing will leave an emptiness that can never be replaced in the hearts of her many brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews who loved her deeply and knew they could always count on her. Allan, Nicole and Kelsey, Jared and Darby would like to express their sincere thanks to Father John and to Deanne Mah for all the love and care, Dr. Paula De Robles at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre for her attention and guidance through this journey, Janna and Pam with homecare who become trusted friends showing so much compassion to Patti in her final weeks at home. A special thank you as well to Regina, Melanie, Tess, Bing and all the wonderful people at Southwood Hospice. To Patti’s cousin and life-long friends Gail and Bill Fraser and loving sister and brother-in-law Lucy and Bob Aucoin and close family friends Denise and Corey Bradley and Jamie and Jamie MacDonald, who spent her last hours with her as she said a peaceful good-bye in a room filled with love. Friends and family are invited to a Celebration of Patti’s Life at the Chestermere Community Recreation Centre (201 West Chestermere Drive) on Fri-day, March 11, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Patti’s name to her favourite charity, The Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation (2888 Shaganappi Trail NW, Calgary, AB T3B 6A8). To express condolences, please visit: www.moun-tainviewmemorial.ca.

Horoscope - Salome's StarsWEEK OF March 14, 2016

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Consider moving beyond the usual methods to find a more creative means of han-dling a difficult on-the-job situation. Avoid confrontation and, instead, aim for cooperation.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Seasonal change creates a new look for the outdoors. It also inspires Taureans to redo their own environments, and this is a good week to start redoing both your home and workplace. Enjoy.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A misunderstanding needs to be straightened out so the wrong impression isn’t allowed to stand. If necessary, offer to support the use of a third party to act as an impartial arbitrator.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A career change offering what you want in money and responsibilities could in-volve moving to a new location. Discuss this with family members before making a decision.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Feeling miffed over how you believe you were treated is understandable. But before you decide to “set things straight,” make sure the whole thing wasn’t just a misinterpretation of the facts.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Showing you care makes it easier to build trust and gain an advantage in handling a delicate situation. What you learn from this experience also will help you understand yourself better.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Planning for the future is fine, especially if you include the roles that fam-ily members may be asked to play. Don’t be surprised if some hidden emotions are revealed in the process.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Making choic-es highlights much of the week, and you have a head start here, thanks to your ability to grasp the facts of a situation and interpret them in a clear-cut manner.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Carry-ing a torch can be a two-way situation: It can either keep you tied to the past or help light your way to the future. The choice, as always, has to be yours.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your watch-words this week are: “Focus.” “Focus.” “Focus.” Don’t let yourself be distracted from what you set out to do. There’ll be time later to look over other possibilities.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A workplace opportunity might require changes you’re not keen on making. Discuss the plusses and minuses with someone familiar with the situation before you make a decision.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love and romance are strong in your aspect this week. If you’ve already met the right person, expect your relationship to grow. And if you’re still looking, odds are you’ll soon be finding it.

BORN THIS WEEK: You approach life in a wise and measured manner, which gives you an edge in many areas.
