tax hike
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
A substantial property tax in-
crease could be on its way in 2015
for Strathmore residents, warned
Chief Administrative Officer Dwight
Stanford at the Oct. 1 council meet-
ing.
“There’s a very good possibility
there will have to be a property tax
increase for 2015. As Mel (Tiede)
mentioned earlier, the CPI for the
Calgary area is 3.2 per cent. Council
approved four additional staff mem-
bers on Aug. 13, the effect on the
budget equates to approximately
three per cent of our net municipal
property taxes,” said Stanford.
“The Family Centre, Aquatic Cen-
tre and Civic Centre have an annu-
al operating deficit of $2.4 million
combined, the deficit is supported
by property taxes, it comes out of
the $9.9 million of net municipal
taxes. Fuel and operating costs for
equipment continues to escalate the
fixed charges for electricity and nat-
ural gas are expected to go up.”
In the new residential areas, the
town will be gradually taking over
the lighting and paying those light-
ing costs which is quite a bit. One of
the positives on that, said Stanford,
is the town has told the developers
they will have to put in LED light-
ing. There are also costs with some
of the outer roads - there are oper-
ating costs of grading and maintain-
ing the roads. The 2015 budget is
going to be a really tough budget
and council is going to have to de-
cide what to do at the budget meet-
ing in November.
“There could be a pretty good
tax increase, or some cutting, or we
have to take out of the financial sta-
bilization reserve. Traditionally we New season begins!

Times Reporter
October is Farm to School month, an initiative that has
been happening for a number of years in the U.S but is
relatively new to Canada. Farm to School programs bring
healthy, local food into schools, and provide students with
hands-on learning opportunities that foster food literacy, all
while strengthening the local food system and enhancing
school and community-connectedness. Farm to School em-
powers students and
school communities to make informed food choices while
contributing to vibrant, sustainable regional food systems
that support the health of people, place and planet.
The Calgary Zoo, as well as other agencies across the prov-
ince, offer the Little Green Thumbs program which provides
indoor growing boxes, vermi-composting, lights, soil and
seed as well as support to start teaching kids about how to
grow their own food, where it comes from and how to pre-
pare and cook it.
“We’re really trying to advocate for schools to bring food
literacy into the curriculum,” said Cathy White, advisory

Potbelly pigs still not allowed in town
SHANNON LECLAIR when moving into a neighbourhood that there is a
Times Reporter
The allowance of potbelly pigs in the commu-
nity was once again a topic of discussion during
a town council meeting. The matter had been
brought to council originally in September 2013
for an amendment to allow the pets in Strathmore.
At that time a motion was made for administration
to get together with the applicant, Trevor Dahl,
and Christine Campbell, from Oops-A-Dazy Ani-
mal Sanctuary, to create an amendment.
That meeting didn’t take place in 2013 and on
Oct. 1, 2014 Municipal Enforcement Officer Teresa
Fuchs spoke to council about the possible amend-
ment.
“My recommendation would be to leave the by-
law as it stands to not allow pot belly pigs in town.
One thing is that then would be opening the door
for other animals to be brought into town limits,”
said Fuchs.
She did look up other municipalities to see what
their bylaws are, such as Lethbridge, Beiseker,
Calgary, Acme, Strathcona County and Cochrane,
which do not allow potbelly pigs. Calgary did
amend their bylaw in 2006 to remove it as an al-
lowable under their bylaw.
The one municipality that does allow them is
Chestermere; Fuchs contacted them, and heard
they had no restrictions or limitations in their by-
law at this time. There is one potbelly pig in the
community on a property near the golf course,
and the only complaints have been because there
is a pig in town.
Mayor Michael Ell questioned how a municipal
enforcement officer would go about restraining a
potbelly, should one get lose, which is also a con-
cern for Fuchs and her department.

Zombies have taken over many discussions over
the past couple of years, and even a couple of
classic books: Pride, Prejudice and Zombies any-

more books given the zombie makeover which is
a reason behind the Halloween Art Contest run-

“The whole zombiefy thing has been really big
in books lately it seems like. It was mostly in-
spired by the Pride, Prejudice and Zombies series
of books, we just thought it was a cool idea and
wanted to see more literary characters zombief-

with Marigold Library System.
The idea is for teens ages 12-18 to pick their
favourite book, graphic novel or comic and zom-
biefy it. Participants can draw, paint or even sculpt
and send a photo of their creation. Entries can be
sent by e-mail and will need a scan or a photo-

God’s good gift to man: to have
dominion over all the earth
turned rancid when man gave
away his authority to God’s en-
emy, Satan. He became what
the Bible calls the ‘ruler of this
world’. Everything which was
made to live forever, began to
die. Everything good became
infected. Destruction, disease,
spoiling ... now, here we are.
Wars, sickness and death are
still what we face. However,
let us never forget to do all in
our power to help restoration
efforts worldwide. Canada is a
wealthy, progressive land.
What would it look like to have
a lifestyle of ‘Thanks-living’?
God showed us a perfect ex-
ample in Jesus to posture our-
selves after. Christianity 101 is
doing what we saw Jesus do.
Let us consider WORPP: The
widow, the orphan, the refu-

Home Children advocate visits Strathmore
SHANNON LECLAIR that were on the streets and they had nothing else
Times Reporter
Author of ‘The Street Arab’ and ‘Belonging’ Sandra Joyce
will be in Strathmore to speak about her books, her father
and British Home Children. Joyce will be at the Strathmore
Library on Oct. 15, beginning at 7 p.m. The presentation will
also be videoconference to other library systems members in
Southern Alberta.
The story is firmly based on records she was able to find on
her father from the Orphan Homes of Scotland, which
is called Quarriers now and is still in existence. She
happened to be on a trip to Halifax after her father
passed away and came across the passenger list her
father was on at Pier 21, the National Immigration
Museum.
When she typed in his name she got this list, took
a copy, and was surprised to find out he had come
over with the Orphan Homes of Scotland at 15-years-
old, along with his 12-year-old brother.
“That in itself was quite shocking to me because he
had never said anything about that,” said Joyce.
Another thing she found shocking was that he came as part
of a group of children. Joyce has a journalistic background
and the records piqued her interest. She went back to
Toronto and contacted her sister who used to work as an
immigration officer to ask if she knew anything about why
a group of children were travelling, quite often it seemed,
and instead of using the same name over and over they used
the quotation marks to duplicate the information. Her sister
looked into it and they found out about the Home Child
operations.
“That just opened my eyes to this whole immigration
scheme that was going on and as I did more research to find
out what’s going on I thought this was such a large group of
child immigrants who are being brought over not to really
help them in that sense, but to work,” said Joyce.
At least 118,000 kids have been sent to Canada through
Home Children operations. Home Children would see poor
or orphaned children sent to Canada and other British
colonies to help alleviate labour shortages.
“People sometimes get the idea that these were all kids

in their lives, but in a lot of the cases they weren’t
orphans,” said Joyce.
“In fact only two per cent of the ones we have
documented so far were orphans, the others had
one member of their parents still alive, or both, and
they had just fallen on unfortunate circumstances
and were unable, maybe only temporarily to
provide for their children.”
Some families would go back for their children
only to be told they had been shipped to
Canada. A law was passed in 1891 that
gave the organizations the right to do this,
without parental permission, once they
accepted the children.
“I think the whole scheme was borne
of good intentions, that they were trying
to help the impoverished children,” said
Joyce.
Her dad stayed in the Quarriers Village
for four years before being sent to Canada,
and that’s where things started to get a bit lost she
thinks.
There was no one to check on the kids;
there were cases of horrible abuse on one
end of the spectrum, and on the other
end some were taken into the family and
maybe even adopted.
Her dad’s case, Joyce said, was
somewhere in the middle; he was seen as
a worker not as a child in any way, and
was separated from his sibling.
She remembers him saying things like
the first farmer he worked for was really
mean, he wasn’t allowed to sit at the table with
them for supper or socialize with the children.
She didn’t understand that at the time he was 15,
not in his 20s like she had thought.
Joyce never did find her dad’s brother, but
through some digging did manage to locate his
older sister. Unfortunately she had also passed,
but she did get to meet her four male cousins, and
her eldest cousin’s daughter Moira Cameron, who
is the first woman to become a Yeoman Warder

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Doubt: A Parable, a Pulitzer Prize-winning play
by John Patrick Shanley, opened at Rosebud
Theatre on Sept. 19.
It’s 1964, in the Bronx, New York. Father
Flynn (Nathan Schmidt), a young Catholic priest,
opens the show by preaching a sermon to his
congregation. His topic is doubt. Doubt, he tells
us, can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as
certainty.
But Sister Aloysius (Jeany Van Meltebeke),
principal of the church’s elementary school, has
no doubt, at least none she’ll admit. She believes
Father Flynn is in an improper relationship with
a Grade 8 student, and she convinces young and
trusting Sister James (Heather Pattengale) he is
guilty.
Donald Miller, the child at the center of the
controversy, is never seen, but there’s a brief
intense scene with Mrs. Muller (Lennette Randall),
who only wants her son, the school’s first black
student, to make it through this school so he can
attend a better high school. Besides, her son’s
father hates Donald, and Father Flynn has become
a friend to him.
But is Father Flynn actually abusing the boy?
The cast includes only these four – and each
actor’s performance is exceptional. Nathan
Schmidt is a warm, winsome priest. I very much
wanted him to be innocent, right, sincere. Jeany
Van Meltebeke, who was loving and motherly
as Mrs. Frank in Diary of Anne Frank, is a little
scary as the unbending Sister Aloysius. I fervently
hoped her accusations were wrong, but I also
felt for her. Heather Pattengale is an endearing
teacher, terrified of Sister Aloysius, yet desperate
to do what’s right.
Lennette Randall is a powerful, conflicted Mrs.
Sandra Joyce, author of The Street Arab and Belonging, will be
at the Strathmore Municipal Library on Oct. 15 to speak about
her books and Home Children.

of the Tower of London, England, breaking a
500-year-old male dominated tradition.
“It was a momentous event to meet her,” said
Joyce.
When it came to writing her books she knew
there were other people out there like her that
wondered about their families, which was her
purpose in writing her books and is what their
organizations does.
“I wanted to reach other people like me
and the first book was to kind of explain
the reasons why these children ended up
in care, what life in care was like and then
life on a farm here in Ontario,” said Joyce.
“The second one is basically going
through his life and never feeling like he
belonged, because at first they were made
to feel like they didn’t belong in Canada
and they didn’t belong in Britain. It’s very
important that this story get out there because
it’s a large part of Canadian history when you
consider that at least 10 per cent of the Canadian
population are descendants of the British Home
Children.”

Home Children, attend the free gathering at the
library on Oct. 15. If you can’t make the other
visit you can also find out more by going to www.

Muller. In numerous other roles I’ve seen Randall
perform since she graduated from Rosebud School
of the Arts two years ago, she’s usually made me
laugh, but there’s no laughter here. Mrs. Muller is
deep, pained and angry.
Randall’s performance is memorable – as is the
play itself. In the days since I saw it, I’ve been
questioning some of my own assumed certainties.
I see now that a little bit of doubt can be a healthy
thing.
Doubt: A Parable is only 80 minutes long, and
each performance is followed by “A Matter of
Doubt,” a talk-back with the cast. Most of our
audience stayed behind, and their questions and
comments made the talk-back as challenging and
insightful as the show itself.
I highly recommend Doubt: A Parable, for its
lasting impact on your life and thinking. Doubt
plays at the Rosebud Theatre until Oct. 25. Tickets
include a dinner buffet. Call 1-800- 267-7553 or

Local Christmas Hamper Society
largest in Canada
DAVE COLLINS community will address in its giving.
Chairperson
The Strathmore & District Christmas Hamper So-
ciety held its 28th Annual Meeting on Monday, Oct.
6.
It was revealed by Dave Collins, the Chairperson,
that the Canada Revenue Agency statistics show
the local Christmas Hamper Society is not only the
largest such charity in Alberta but the whole of
Canada.
The West Coast Christmas Hamper Society in
Victoria (population almost 500,000) had dona-
tions in 2013 that were $34 greater than here in the
Wheatland County (population about 21,000) but
last years local donations went up by almost $700.
This is like comparing David to Goliath said Col-
lins and a reflection of the generosity of our local
community.
The Victoria Christmas Hamper Society is similar
to other societies across the country in that they
generally give out only a spread for Christmas Day
along with toys for the children. Our local Christ-
mas Hamper organization has a goal of giving its
sister organization, the Wheatland County Food
Bank, a well deserved holiday and also to give out
food that will last a family throughout the month
of January.
Typical applicants for Christmas Hampers are
not single mums with children, but young working
couples who are struggling to cope on minimum
wages. That seems to be a fact of life and not some-
thing, which is going to change in the near future.
The few weeks leading up to Christmas and the
three or four weeks after are the period of greatest
stress in family life where lack of income is a fac-
tor and it is this concern that the society hopes the
Tax savings not a priority for Alberta municipalities
PATRICK BERGEN seem to resonate as it once did, at least according
Smart Towns Inc
It’s that time of year again. Municipal councils
are huddled with town managers and directors ar-
guing back and forth to come up with the 2015
budget. In the end, one single number will be the
indicator of whether the work was successful or
not. The tax increase that residents will face. Giv-
en it is the first full year of a four-year term and
the next election is well in the future, this increase
will likely be the largest.
Alberta homeowners have seen an incredible
rise in the residential tax of 151 per cent from
2002 to 2012. That is the amount the municipal-
ity collects not including the education portion.
This number has been lost in the rapid population
growth of 24 per cent and even higher growth of
homes at 30 per cent. The Bank of Canada put the
inflation rate at about 21 per cent for this period
which means that the average homeowner has
seen their tax bill almost double over the same 10
year period.
Municipalities often use the ‘tax rate’ or ‘mill
rate’ to communicate to the public what the tax
increase has been year over year. That is the dollar
amount for every $1,000 of assessed value of the
property. The problem with representing it this
way is that property values have risen significant-
ly, so a small tax rate increase is still a large dollar
increase if the value of the property has gone up.
Prosperity has been a consistent part of the fab-
ric of Alberta for some time. Frugality also used
to be a big part as well, right up to the end of the
Klein era. Saving tax payers money just does not

chester Road, Strathmore, T1P 1J1
The Hamper Society took over the Community
Coat Program from the Wheatland FCSS when they
moved to the county office and is still run in the
Lambert Building at 85 Lakeside Blvd. The pro-
gram is a vital part of community helping com-
munity. Coats, toques and mitts will be greatly ap-
preciated by dropping off such gently used items
from mid-November until the beginning of March
next year.
A full slate of officers was elected at the annu-
al meeting and once again we are appealing for
volunteers to assist with sorting and packing by
phoning 403-934-9090. Male volunteers are partic-
ularly needed on a few days to help in setting up
tables, loading hampers and so on.
The meeting agreed to the idea that the name of
the Society be changed at next years annual meet-
ing to that of: the Strathmore & Wheatland County
Christmas Hamper Society. The name change will
clearly identity that families from both the town
and county can apply for Christmas Hampers as is
the case now and will clear up any little confusion
that might exist.
to the numbers.
A search on Google Trends indicates that peo-
ple were three times more interested in “knitting”
as opposed to “city tax.”
Unfortunately that number has slipped even fur-
ther over the last 12 months to below one in four.
While the interest in knitting has been quite con-
sistent over the years, what people pay for prop-
erty tax isn’t. It just can’t compete with all the
press of the Alberta provincial government and
the much more exciting municipal personalities
of the east.
So, in the end is the massive increase justified?
Are municipalities providing more than in the past
or merely responding to the wishes of the voters.
Perhaps, other forms of revenue such as commer-
cial tax, fees or even provincial grants have not
been able to keep up. We will have a good look at
these in future articles.
What if municipalities had kept taxation to just
growth and inflation? What would the average tax
bill look like? The savings would have been about
$540 per household or about 830 million dollars
annually. Is it enough to get excited about? Not
according to the numbers.
At your next council question period ask “would
you be willing to keep taxation to growth plus
inflation?”

Everyone blames a digestive enzyme in Turkey, for why they

When really a person cannot eat enough of the enzyme to
actually cause drowsiness, it is the combination of
overeating, consumption of alcohol and the body trying to

The ‘Hip’ way to be fit
SHANNON LECLAIR “The choreographies, they do move fast because
Times Reporter
Belly dancing is a great way to get, and stay, in
shape, but can sometimes get a bad rap as being a
little overly sexual. Zaida Bahir, owner of Hathor
Dance Studio, wants people to come and check it
out for themselves.
“People have a really funny idea when they
come to class, it’s not what they thought usually,
it’s all natural movements, we don’t distort our-
selves, we’re not double jointed,” said Bahir, who
has been teaching in Strathmore since 2004.
“It works every muscle, not just your belly. It’s
funny how many girls are like ‘oh my arms,’ or the
butt. It works every muscle, it really works legs,
butt, everything. You gain good posture, and bal-
ance of course.”
She recently restructured the classes; they are all
held once a week with each session happening in
a month, four classes.
“The first program for beginners is called a
Quick Start program. They learn basic moves and
technique and it just prepares them for the upcom-
ing choreographies,” said Bahir.

there’s four weeks so we have four one-hour class-
es and we push it, people sweat, but I don’t expect
students to be absolutely perfect, and as they go
along the choreographies get more challenging of
course as they go up in levels.”
There is no end to how far you can go with Ba-
hir and her training. She is a certified middle east-
ern dance teacher, training under Hadia, and can
teach finger cymbals, Egyptian cane dancing, and
veil dancing to name a few options.
Bahir likes to keep her class sizes a little small-
er, opting for between four and seven people in
each class, 15-years-old and up. There is a discount
price for students who pay before the 15th of the
month, it’s $60, up to the 25th is $75, and she will
take late registrations if she has room left in the
classes. On Oct. 25 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. there will
be an open house at the dance studio, located at
134 2nd Street, below CIBC. The first four women
will get to take part in the Quick Start four week

verse welcoming celebration of art and
the artists in our community. Over the
years it has become a fun celebration of
art in its various mediums and genres
for artists from all over Wheatland
County and Strathmore.
The night will feature various musi-
cal entertainment as well as gallery dis-
plays. Musical pieces will include Sing

African Drumming with Sarah Haughey,
Rachel Konschuh and her musical part-
ner Lisa Jacobs, Lilly Furfaro, the Stu-
dent Chorale from Rosebud School of
the Arts, and Chuck and the Amigos to
name a few.
The art gallery for the evening will
be an intimate affair with a commu-
nity piece that was created on Canada
Day this year. The Go Green Up-cycling
group will have a number of fall pieces
on display as well, including some piec-
es that were commissioned as part of a
wedding this fall. A number of unique
pieces will be on display by up-and-
coming artist Robbie King who is an
abstract acrylic artist.

Mastering Lego Strathmore

JUSTIN SEWARD “I just got into it over the summer –
Times Reporter
When Bricks 4 Kidz Strathmore di-
rector Derek Donais created the pro-
gram back in the summer for the area,
he wanted to enhance the meaning of
building LEGO to kids ages 5-12.
He believed that LEGO could be a
way of educating the kids that playing
with blocks is a way of learning a sci-
ence.
Bricks 4 Kidz started down in the
States and Donais had a keen interest
in it and went down and took some
classes.
“It’s a business that was started in
2008 down in St. Augustine, Fla. and the
founder, her name is Michelle Cote, and
she was actually looking to get into the
schools and do Spanish language class-
es. They did not have an opening at the
time but they did have some openings
for science-based things,” said Donais.
“She was an architect, so she thought
she’d put together a few kits (of LEGO)
and teach some classes and they sold
out immediately. They had such a big
demand for it; it kept growing and
growing until now it’s multinational in
over 30 countries.”
Bricks 4 Kidz is a program designed
for kids to explore their curiosities and
become creative with LEGO through
specialized kits with blocks which will
provide education while they build.
Donais is fairly new to the Bricks 4
I’ve been looking into it for a number
of years but I just finally decided to
go with it because it was something I
was really interested in. I’m a teacher
as well, so it’s pretty suited to some of
the stuff I like, teaching and LEGO,”
said Donais. “I didn’t really realize the
adaptability of LEGO when I was teach-
ing. Now I totally see how it could be
used in the classroom, especially for sci-
ence and math and even social studies
and language arts.”
He wants the kids to work together
in the camps to put their creativeness
together in the building process.
“It’s basically about curriculum learn-
ing as well as fun, educational, hands
on just exploring and creating,” said
Donais
He believes that the more advance
LEGO became it was just a matter of
marketing yourself in the community
and also word of mouth.
“Just the fact that LEGO is so popular
and so universal, the LEGO movie and
the kits and everything,” he said. “If it’s
a big movie or children’s programming,
it seems to come out with some LEGO
variant, the timing was right, to get out
there and get your foot in the door and
people start to spread the word.”
Donais is very curious about how
LEGO has advanced into the high
school level with some unique DNA
camps that various schools have been
able to provide through field trips.

Braves win home opener
JUSTIN SEWARD ficulty with are peewees from last year
Times Reporter
The Wheatland Braves edged Red
Deer Parkland 5-2 in their home opener
on Oct. 5 at the Strathmore Family Cen-
tre.
Coach Keith Klemmensen was en-
thused that his team got the victory, but
admits that there is still work to be done
on a consistent effort from everyone.
“I think we’ve made little to no head-
way as far as the importance of showing
up prepared to work hard,” said Klem-
mensen. “As the game went on we saw
some guys a little more mature and bet-
ter than last week. Even though we had
some injuries, the lack of effort in the
first period was pretty much inexcus-
able.”
The 2-1 score at the end of the first
was a shock to the coaching staff consid-
ering the poor start.
“The 2-1 score after the first really flat-
tered us. I thought the 3-1 after two was
indicative of a pretty even second peri-
od and in the third period we outscored
them 2-1 and probably came close to
earning that,” said the coach of the local

Some of the players had a great game
and were able to step up when called
upon.
“Mo Hakim played defence and centre

pens. He goes back without complaining
with a smile on his face and I thought
his effort was good all day and the goal-
ies were fundamentally sound,” said Kl-

Tristan Zandee scored twice, while
Kyle Crnkovic, Adam Kirkpatrick and
Zach Nicholls supplied the offence for
the Braves.
The Braves are in a Thanksgiving tour-
nament this weekend in Medicine Hat.
Meanwhile, the Wheatland Warriors
dropped to 3-2 on the season with a 4-3
loss to the Airdrie Lightning on Oct. 4.
The local double-A bantam team will
head on a three-game road trip, starting
with a pair of contests in Brooks (Oct.

In other action, the Wheatland Chiefs
opened their 2014-2015 campaign by
collecting three out of a possible four
points.
The local double-A midget team ham-
mered the Cranbrook Knights 10-1 on
Oct. 4, before earning a 2-2 draw with
the Lethbridge Hurricances the follow-
ing day.
The Chiefs will have their home open-

Peewees undefeated; seniors get second win

JUSTIN SEWARD “He did a great job of spreading the ball around.
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Spartans are 4-0 and sitting comfortably atop
the peewee standings. They were able to sustain pressure from
all areas to preserve a 50-6 victory over the Innisfail Cyclones on
Oct. 4 in Innisfail.
“We had an all-round great day. We dominated in all areas, of-
fense, defense and special teams,” said coach Clinton Bean “The
defense played strong only allowing one touchdown against and
pushing the Cyclones backwards many times. The offense had a
wonderful day once again showing we are not a single athlete
team –we got seven touchdowns from seven different players.”
Spartan quarterback Tanner Bean kept the Cyclones defense
guessing all game long.
He had three passing touchdowns and rushed for an-
other,” said Bean.
The Spartans have two regular season games left,
and their undefeated streak is on the line in the last
home game against Red Deer (4-1) this Saturday, Oct.
11. Kick-off is scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Strath-
more High School.
If it weren’t for a last minute blocked field goal,
the Strathmore Spartans high school team would not
have had their second victory of the season, as they
were able to hang on and defeat Brooks 12-10 on
Oct. 3.
“Overall we played pretty good, the game was a
whole lot closer than it should have been. The refs
took a field goal off the board because they called an
infraction on the field for too many men on our team,”
said coach Chuck Holloway. “Pretty much whenever
we were in the red zone, we took too many unsports-
manlike penalties and we were on the one yard line
three times and didn’t score.”
If the Spartans win their next game versus Drum-
heller (Oct. 11, 1p.m.) at the Strathmore High School,
they will make the playoffs and will play the top-
seeded team.
Meanwhile, the Strathmore Spartans bantam team
will continue their season with a road game in Drum-
heller on Oct. 11 at 1.pm.

Wheatland Kings forward and Strath-
more native Cody Willis was named the
Rookie of the Month in the Heritage
Junior Hockey League for September.
Willis compiled five goals and two
assists for seven points in the two
games he played in.
He could not have been more hon-
oured to be rewarded for his hard
work this early in the season.
“To be honest, I was really excited.
I didn’t think it was going to happen,
there were a lot more rookies playing
really well, but I was pretty happy with
it,” said Willis.
The start of the season was a very
productive one, as he had a five-point
night – including a hat trick – in Coal-
dale on opening night.
“It was really exciting that I could
do that in my first league game, it was
really good to get the start like that,”
said Willis. “I think I played a decently
consistent game, but I mean you have
your off nights, but I hope to keep (the
play) up.”
He hopes to build off the hot start,
keep his high level of play and contin-
ue to produce for the team to get wins.
cause of some scheduling changes, our
go to at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir was on
Monday (Sept. 29). We ran the kids two
runs in three days and some of the kids
were exhausted,” said Paul Sonsteby,
Spartans cross country coach.
Sonsteby admits it was vital for them
to attend the Strathcona-Tweedsmuir
meet, as that is where the provincials
will be held later this month.
“It was critical for us to go to that
meet because that is the provincial
course. So the kids who qualified (for)
zones next week got a look at the
course they’re going to be running (for
provincials),” said Sonsteby.
He had praise for a couple of his ex-
perienced runners who were able to
take home bronze in their categories at
the Strathcona-Tweedsmuir meet.
“We had two bronze medals, Karly
Larson of the senior girls and Gunnar
Raycroft with the junior boys, both re-
ceived bronzes and we had six other
kids place in the Top 10,” said Sonsteby.
The team is hoping to build off of
their zones victory last year and build
on the momentum from the two meets
going into zones in Canmore.
“Last year we had a strong finish
there (at zones) where we won our
zone banner and we sent 10 runners
to provincials. So this year it’s at STS
again just outside of Okotoks. We have
33 runners this year and we would like
to send at least a dozen to provincials
and it’s important for us to challenge
for the zone banner again,” said Son-
steby.
When the zones competition starts
on Wednesday, Oct. 8 in Canmore, it
will be important for Sonsteby to know
that the runners felt comfortable run-
ning and gave it an honest effort.
“We want to defend that banner, but
the most important thing to me is that
each runner ends that day feeling they
ran their best race of the season,” said
Sonsteby.
“(For) some of our seniors (going)
to provincials, it’s their last race. Kids
like Karly Larson, Kyle Foster, Brendan
Roberts have run with me for awhile
and it would be nice to see them have a
good race at zones and have a provin-
cial run again.”
According to Sonsteby, the team over-
all in every category has gotten stron-
ger and hopes it will lead to success
come zones and possibly provincials.
in Okotoks. Pro-
vincials will be
held on Oct. 18 in
Okotoks.

Paul Sonsteby
“I would say as equally experienced
but our junior categories are stronger
this year. We had a pretty strong senior
group last year, our senior boys were
mid-range and (this year) our senior
groups are very strong,” said Sonsteby.
“The junior groups that have come in
are exceptionally strong, two of our
best runners are a junior girl and boy. I
think we have deeper runners in every
category this year.”
Before every race, Sonstesby takes
players aside and asks them what their
goals are for the competition.
The Spartans are going into zones
with the mindset that they want to re-
peat and win the zones to give them-
selves an honest shot at provincials.
“The team goal would be to respect-
ably defend the zone banner, if we
don’t win it to at least challenge ex-
tremely strongly for it and I think we’re
that good of team to be in one of those
two spots,” said Sonsteby.
Zones will took place Oct. 8 in Can-
more and the provincials will be held
Saturday, Oct. 18 in Okotoks.

Times Reporter
His resume includes tremendous
success with the Calgary Royals midget
AA program for the last four seasons.
Accomplishments include being
awarded the 2013 Coach of the Year
by the Royals Athletic association and
the same award in 2014 from Hockey
Calgary.
During his tenure at the helm of the
Royals, he compiled a 76-16-14 record.
These results were good enough for
appearing in the city finals each sea-
son.
These are all little accomplishments
that got Jeremy Blumes the coach-
ing gig for the new era of Strathmore
Wheatland Kings.
“For me since I got the job and start-
ed recruiting and tried to put together
a team, it’s just been a lot of fun. The
thing I’ve enjoyed most is meeting a
lot of new players, and getting to know
them,” said Blumes. “There is nothing
I feel like that’s where we’re headed.
We’ve got a common goal, (we’re) on
the same page and (we) understand
the importance of sacrifice and team-
work.”
He accredits his quality coaching
staff for the success he has had so far.
“As a head coach I surround my-
self with quality assistant coaches and
management personal empowering
them to be involved in the direction
of the team. I consider the relationship
with the coaching staff as a partner-
ship,” said Blumes.
There are a few similar transitions
coming from the Royals to the Kings.
“There is a few a similarities, coach-
ing is as much as x’s and o’s as it is
being able to deal with people and
manage their different personalities
and what they’re focused on,” said
Blumes. “I think at the junior age,
you’re dealing with guys that now are
adults. You know some of their priori-
ties have changed, but at the end of
the day we’re looking for players that
when they come to the rink, they need
to compete, they’re ready to perform.”
Blumes’ coaching style is that he
wants to be direct with his players and
recognize the ones that work hard and
strive to meet and exceed expecta-
tions.
“I believe you have to be honest and
straight forward with your players and
really a coach’s job is to set expecta-
tions and then reward players when
they exceed those expectations and
discipline them when they don’t meet
expectations,” said Blumes.
Off to a strong start with the Wheat-
land Kings, coach Blumes and his staff
have done their job so far and hope to
keep the momentum going.
“Something I’ve always taken to
heart is something my dad told me
and that’s just ‘trust your gut,’ ”said
Blumes. New Wheatland Kings head coach Jeremy
The motto has worked for him so Blumes is hoping to instill a hard working mental-

After earning a berth in the

of 77, Wilson shot 79 on Day 1
and carded an 83 on the second

cooler and wet, but Wilson admits
he was able to battle the weather
to shoot a respectable score.
“The second day it was bitter
cold and rainy, not so good for
the conditions, but still managed
to shoot very well. I finished tied
for 13th, considering I don’t play
golf as a competitive sport I feel
I matched up very well against
kids that just play golf,” said Wil-
son.
Meanwhile, the Spartans had a
very strong showing at zones in
Cochrane and all the team mem-
bers played hard.
“Jayse Wilson led the way with
a round of 77 to qualify as an
individual for provincials on at
the same course,” said Spartans
coach Jennifer Meyers.
“The only girl member Alicia
Kennedy competed in the girls’
competition and represented our
school well. It was cool and rainy
for much of the round, but she
persevered and played well.”
The boys’ team resulted in a
tie for third and a playoff against
Chestermere where the Spartans
fell short.
“Only three teams could have
moved on to compete at the Pro-
vincial Championships, a playoff
was held pinning three of our
players against three of theirs in
a sudden death combined score
playoff,” said Meyer. “Jayse Wil-
son, Korbin Allen, and James
Farmer all pared the hole but
came up one stroke short when
the Chestermere team secured
their berth at provincials with a
birdie.”
Meyer would like to congratu-
late the team on a very successful
season.

Pro Wrestling comes to Legion

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Legion is hosting the Rise of the Legends
Four live Pro Wrestling on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m.
“The Legion I heard is selling very well. It’s a family event,
we don’t do the nudity or swearing. It’s more family orientat-
ed towards all ages and general public,” said Steve Ewaschuk,
event organizer.
The Legion venue was chosen again because of the positive
feedback they received from the first event, which was held
1014 Westridge Road, Strathmore AB
in May.
“We did a show there a couple of months back and the turn
out (was) well received, so we thought we would come back.
It raises money for the Legion as well with the ticket sales,”
said Ewaschuk.
Cooperation from the wrestlers has been nothing short of
excellent as they are more than willing to participate in an
event such as this one.
Thanksgiving
“Everyone has been cooperative. I just contact the wrestlers
and give them the dates and they take the bookings and show
up from there,” said Ewaschuk.
TNA Wrestling tag-team champion Davey Richards will be
one of the guys to look out for in the ring.
“He’s travelled all over the world to Japan, Puerto Rico,
Mexico and now he is being called the next generation of the
Dynamite Kid,” said Ewaschuk.
Fans can expect a traditional, old school event.
Tickets can be purchased in advance for $15 for adults,
while kids 12 and under and seniors are $10. Tickets at the
door are $20 for adults and 12 and under and seniors are $15.

COYLE-ARCHER,
Janis Dale
April 20, 1956 -
September 30, 2014
It is with deep regret that the family of Janis
Dale Coyle-Archer, beloved wife of H. David Ar-
cher of Strathmore, announces her passing on
the 30th of September at the age of 58 years
after a courageous struggle with cancer. Born on
April 20th, 1956, in Picton, Ontario, Janis was a
devoted mother, stepmother, grandmother, wife
and friend to all those who loved her. Throughout
her life, Janis gathered close friends from Nova
Scotia, Ontario, and Alberta where she eventu-
ally settled near Strathmore with her husband
Dave. They were married in Victoria, B.C. on
March 17, 2012. A life-long dedicated worker,
she enjoyed her most recent employment with
WestJet and became an avid traveler. She often
journeyed to Halifax, Toronto, and Vancouver to
keep contact with the family and friends that she
held dear. She and Dave explored their favou-
rite destinations, including Victoria, B.C. and the
UK. She will be deeply missed by her husband
Dave; daughters Paula Nickerson (Mike) and
Michelle Chase-Samuels (Otto); stepdaughter
Stephanie (Nathan); grandchildren Holly, Jacey,
Calvin, Christian, and Noah; sisters Melanie Mo-
ran (Steve) and Patty Welbank; and niece and
nephews Chrystal, Adam, Kyle, and Brandon. She
is loved by scores of friends and family. A cel-
ebration of her life was held on Monday, October
6, 2014 at Wheatland Funeral Chapel (Strath-
more, AB), at 10:00 a.m. followed by reception
for friends and family at Strathmore Alliance
Church. Interment held at Taber Memorial Gar-
dens Cemetery. The family is extremely grateful
to the Tom Baker Cancer Center, Dr. Rahim Damji
of the Crystal Ridge Family Medical Clinic, Kelly
and care providers from Bayshore Home Care,
Agape Hospice, and the many people who helped
in providing comfort to Janis. In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made directly to the Canadian
Cancer Society (#200, 325 Manning Rd., N.E.,
Calgary, AB, T2E 2P5) or the The Gideons Inter-
national in Canada (P.O. Box 3619, Guelph, ON,
