Jennifer Cuthberston, chair of the Strathmore

Youth Justice Committee, was on hand at the Strathmore town council meeting on Nov. 2 to explain
the purpose of the youth justice committee and the
important work that the committee has done with
young offenders in the Strathmore area.
Cuthbertson also revealed case success rates over
the course of this year. Out of the 16 youth justice
committee cases seen this year, Cuthbertson revealed
that only three cases went back as unsuccessful.
We work with first-time young offenders aged 12
to under 18 with the goal of helping them avoid further criminal activity, said Cuthbertson. Each young
person we work with has been charged with a minor
criminal offence and they have accepted full responsibility for their actions.
The committee is funded by the Alberta government and receives grant money each year, depending
on the volume of cases involved. It is able to spend
monies allocated by the government as it wishes and
it generally uses funds to train volunteers, acquire
needed resources and give donations back into the
community.
There are 148 youth justice committees across the
province of Alberta, and the Strathmore committee
consists of seven volunteers.
According to Cuthbertson, young offenders have a
one-time opportunity to go through this alternative
measures program. However, if the young offender
re-offends, they are required to go through the court
system and would likely have a criminal record.
Our committee is sanctioned after section 18 of
the Youth Criminal Justice Act and is empowered to
determine and supervise consequences given and
agreed to by the young offender, said Cuthbertson.
Consequences are an important component of
the process and young offenders are given consequences such as community service hours, letters of
apology to the victims/parents or making charitable
donations.
Our committee is quite creative when determining consequences, but everything is done with the
goal of helping the young person to avoid re-offending, said Cuthbertson.
The committee receives a copy of the police report
prior to meeting with young offenders and determines if the case is appropriate for the committee.
Next, the committee holds an open invite discussion
as to why the young offender chose the actions they
did.
Many are surprised to learn what impact their
criminal record might have on their parents, their
siblings, their career choices and their school choices, said Cuthbertson.

With hard economic times hitting Alberta,
more people are expected to utilize the Wheatland County and Strathmore Christmas Hamper Society.
Organizers are expecting county requests to
increase by 20 per cent. Last year, 67 hampers
were sent out in the Wheatland County area.
The society requested an increase from last
years $2,700 Wheatland County donation. A
$3,300 request was made for the 2016 Christmas program.
When you figure it out, basically the increase isnt out of reason, said Coun. Ben
Armstrong.
Hamper cost ranges from $100 to $300.
The Wheatland County and Strathmore
Christmas Hamper Societys campaign kicks
off Nov. 12. On Nov. 19, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
they are hosting a stuff-a-truck campaign,
inviting donations in a truck parked in the
Strathmore Sobeys parking lot.
The motto for the society is neighbours
helping neighbours, and historically in a time
of hard economics, rural people step up to ensure everyone has a little something to help
them through the holiday season. Food, new
unwrapped gifts and cash will be accepted by
the society. Those who cant afford to donate
can offer to volunteer in other ways by calling
403-934-9090 or 403-934-2266.
The society will have boxes for donations set
up at Sobeys, Co-op, No Frills and Walmart.
To apply for a hamper call 403-934-2266, after Nov. 14 and before Dec. 15.

WHAT IF FOR HANDIBUS

Wheatland County residents have long
asked for increased hours on the Handibus
service. So Wheatland County council wanted
to know how much it would cost to improve
those hours of service.
This is the information I brought to the
partnership meeting for consideration. Council requested that the Handibus bring in a budget for extra hours of operation, said Coun.
Alice Booth.
For an extra two days a week and four staff
members needed to man the extra service, the
approximate total cost would be over $111,000
annually.
We certainly appreciate the $35,000 of funding given to us this year, as it is a constant
act of juggling by the Handibus Association
to keep the buses running and transporting
our disabled and seniors to medical appointments, said Coun. Alice Booth. It is a very
important program that is working well, but
we still do need support.

Christmas of Hope helps

with the loss of loved ones
MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Francis Van Bussel, owner
of Wheatland Funeral Home,
will be holding a Christmas
of Hope gathering on Dec.
4 at the Hope Covenant
Church.
The events aim is to help
people recognize the recent
loss of loved ones, and to
ease the pain and uneasiness
of those who may be having
a tough time experiencing
the loss of a loved one.
Its a coming together of
all these people who are
in the same boat, who are
feeling the same loss, said
Van Bussel. A lot of times
its easier for people to deal
with things when they realize that there are other people out there dealing with
the same thing.
The service is designed to
bring some comfort to those

who have experienced a
loss.
Pastor Glenn Peterson
from the Hope Covenant
Church will be speaking to
family and friends regarding
the loss of their loved ones.
Van Bussel said the joy and
excitement of the Christmas
holidays brings memories of
all that was; however, it also
serves as a fresh reminder
for those suffering from the
loss of a loved one.
The service will help
people deal with their first
Christmas without that person present, said Van Bussel. What were trying to do
is sort of give them a little
different perspective of the
Christmas holidays, and by
people coming together who
are facing the same things, it
for what-ever reason, a lot
of times makes it easier for
people.
Van Bussel said sometimes
people can feel as though
they are all alone and that
nobody really understands
or can feel what youre feeling.
He cautioned that it does
not become any easier, but
it becomes better to understand that what youre going through is not just what
youre going through, its
what other people are also
going through.
Van Bussel said in the past,
there have been similar services offered in Strathmore;
but at the present time, no
such services exist that hes
aware of.
Theres really nothing
in the community so we
thought it would be a good
time to bring this (service)
to fruition and get it going,
he noted.
Van Bussel will be contacting people his funeral home

has dealt with over the last
year to let them know about
this service being offered.
Its not just for families
that we have served, said
Van Bussel. He said the
service will be of-fered to
anyone in the area whose
Christmas will be shadowed
with the sorrow of a loved
ones absence.
The funeral home owner
hopes to provide music at
the service with a soloist.
The service will be followed
by a small luncheon with
food and refreshments.
A keepsake will be given
to all families. For more
information or to register
to attend, call Wheat-land
Funeral Home by Nov. 25
at 403-934-4404 or e-mail

sees successful year
Continued from Page 1
After determining appropriate consequences, a committee member is
assigned to see the completion of the
consequences, and a legal document is
signed and a timeframe established for
completing consequences.
The turnaround time for each case is
no longer than three months.
If we deem them successful in completing consequences, we mark their
file successful, said Cuthbertson.
In this case, the judge informs the
youth that the charge has been withdrawn and they do not have a criminal
record. However, if the young person
is deemed unsuccessful, their file is
marked accordingly. In both cases, the
young offender is required to attend
court.
Cuthbertson believes the number of
cases will increase
as the committee
continues to work
with the RCMP.

At the meeting, Strathmore town

Strathmore RCMP is currently

on November 2nd, 2016 on
Highway 9 near Highway 1.
Unknown suspect(s) gained
entry to the shop after

When your child has a cold, coughs can be one

of the toughest symptom to bear and to treat. If
the child is under the age of six, cough medicines
are not indicated. In fact, coughs are beneficial in
removing phlegm and thats a good thing. The one
recommended remedy for coughs in young children
is honey. You can still give some acetaminophen in
the correct age-related dose for discomfort.
When you go for a doctor appointment, prepare for
it first. Make a few notes as to your main concerns
and note any changes in the condition since your
last visit. Bring a list of all your medications.
prescription and non-prescription (including vitamins
and herbals). If you have a hearing problem, make
sure the doctor and assistant knows this. You can
even bring a family member along to ensure you
dont miss anything. All these ideas will help you
and your doctor as well.
We often hear the phrase boost your immune
system. How do you do that? Proven ways include
getting enough sleep and regular exercise, eating a
healthy diet, drinking alcohol in moderation and the
big one, dont smoke. Of course, you dont want
your immune system to go into overdrive which
can cause problems like allergies and autoimmune
diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
Vaccinations do not weaken the immune system,
they boost it. Because our immune system weakens
as we age, ensure all your vaccinations are up to

Good advice: Before you take it, talk about it.

Original Joes donates meals to those in need

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Original Joes Restaurant and Bar
celebrated 150,000 meals shared with
charitable organization Mealshare that
sees partial proceeds from featured
items on the Original Joes menu go towards purchasing a meal for someone
in need.
Strathmores Original Joes contribution to the Mealshare program has totaled 1,625 meals shared to date.
Its just a really cool way to give directly back to people in need and it
always feels good, said Blake Chayer,
manager of Original Joes in Strathmore.
Its nice to be a part of a company that
actually cares about charity and giving
back, because we owe our success to
everyone within the community.
Original Joes launched a partnership with the charitable organization
Mealshare, a Calgary-born non-profit,
back in 2014. Since its inception in July
2013, Mealshare has accomplished its
Road to One Million campaign by providing one million meals to people in
need.
Originals Joes has captured approximately 15 per cent, or 150,000, of those
one million meals.
Currently, the Strathmore Original
Joes is featuring the Tostado Salad as

the selected meal that, when purchased,
will contribute towards the Mealshare
program.
Its kind of a seasonal thing; the Tostado Salad is one we did because it
was really popular the year prior and
its also a really popular summer meal,
said Chayer. Coming into the winter,
well be changing it [meal].
Anytime someone purchases the Tostado Salad, Original Joes automatically
donates one meal to the Strathmore
food banks at no cost to the consumer.
Chayer said the next featured
Mealshare item will be based on popularity.
Theyll [head office] go through the
numbers and see what is selling really
well just so were not choosing a menu
item thats not going to be beneficial to
the program, said Chayer.
Original Joes advertises Mealshare
items on the menu and also advertises
in a small way on the website and on
social media.
It flies a little bit under the radar
just because its kind of in the fine print
and its not something that gets talked
about a lot, maybe as it should be, said
Chayer.
In addition to donating meals to local
food banks, Chayer said the company
Holy Cross gets slimed

Holy Cross spent the entire week of Oct. 24-28 promoting school spirit. Students also brought in 845 food
bank items throughout the week in hopes of getting
chosen to slime a teacher. Each food bank item gave
students a ticket to put into a bucket to slime the teacher
of their choice. On Oct. 28 the day of the event the students raised an extra $120 in less than three minutes for
the bonus sliming of vice principal Art Hanson, to help
bring the amount of items to 1,000 being donated to the
local food bank. The teachers slimed included Deanna
Sample, Rachel Boutette, Josh Jalbert, Dan Patterson,
and Brent Wiley.

To date, Original Joes has volunteered

Thats another way to get involved
with the program and the community
as well, he said.
Strathmore Original Joes tries to get
involved in the community as much as
it can. We have a bit of a limited budget, but we always try to give back as
much as we can, noted Chayer.
We do a lot of gift card donations to
charities and we sponsor the Ag Society

Chayer said the Mealshare program is
a great fit for the restaurant.
Its nice because its specific to the

part of their human health lifeline.
STARS appeared in front of Wheatland County council, asking for an increase in Wheatland Countys per capita donations.
We have access now to almost 100 transport positions,
across six bases in three provinces that we serve, said Glenda
Farnden, senior municipal relations liaison for STARS. STARS
strive to be on the leading edge of critical care advancements.

only funds 21 per cent of STARS costs. The other

funds have to be generated through donations, fundraising efforts such as their lottery and calendar
sales, and website registration donations.
We have had a drop in donations. We have had a
very difficult couple of years, said Farnden.
She said the organization recognizes the economic
downturn has also hit municipalities and businesses. She said business donations have decreased and
fundraising events for STARS are also decreasing.
STARS has addressed some of this impact by
downsizing and reorganizing staff duties within the
organization. To additionally meet shortfalls, Farnden is asking municipalities to increase their yearly
donation commitments. She asked if Wheatland
County could increase their funding from $1 per
person to $2 for a total of $16,570, which was approved Nov. 8.
Call statistics average about five callouts per day
in Alberta. Over the last six years, STARS has responded in Wheatland County 31 times. Farnden
broke down the cost of those calls: 31 calls would
cost approximately $170,000.
STARS has carried out 3,423 missions across the
Prairie Provinces since their inception in 1985. They
currently have 11 response helicopters to service
Prairie populations. Farnden said call volume has
increased about nine per cent over the last couple
of years.
Helicopter EMS has the opportunity to provide
the bed to bed, or scene to bed advantage which
greatly reduces stress on critically injured patients,
said Farnden.
Farnden said their universal blood on board program has improved critical patient outcomes for
transported patients. They have also recently acquired a Hamilton T100 ventilator that can be used
for all patients no matter what body size, similar to
the ones utilized in critical wings of hospitals.
In Alberta, 75 per cent of municipalities are part
of the municipal funding initiative. Municipalities
generate about $1.6 million in donations for the
agency. She reminded council that this funding allows a first class air ambulance patient response,
eliminating the extra worry families would have
about the cost of receiving expensive lifesaving
care. She said some municipalities are dedicating
and entrenching donations in their protective and
emergency services budgets, as they are committed to STARS for the long term. This action allows
STARS more security in their budget and aids future
decision making.
It helps us to ensure the safety and quality of life
for your residents and, at the same time, you will
ensure the sustainability for STARS for generations
to come, said Farnden. We are all uniting together

to preserve a service that we are privileged to have.
Big versus small in emergency air support
One question from council was why STARS recently acquired AW139 helicopter and why STARS
is moving it to the Edmonton base, which already
has an AW139. The smaller BK117 helicopters will
be utilized from the Calgary base to service southern areas.
Over the last 31 years the BK has served us very
well and the majority of the missions throughout
the southern regions have been with the BK117,
specifically because most of the landing pads wont
accommodate the larger unit, said Farnden.
She said the larger units often require a ground
transport assist and the smaller units can offer bed
to bed options for injured clients. STARS also considered cost savings when they decided to move the
AW139, as training and mechanical work could be
consolidated to one area for one specific platform
of care. The larger helicopters are also better suited
for across province flight.
Coun. Brenda Knight questioned whether another helicopter is replacing the larger one being
moved. Farnden said no new replacement for the
lost helicopter to the Calgary base was being considered. On-call back-up is available when several
emergencies happen at the same time; however, the
transport method for the client would be assessed
and response adapted to the nature of the call and
resources available at the time.
There is a requirement that local municipal area
landing sites need to upgrade their helipads to accommodate larger helicopter unit sizes.
Coun. Ben Armstrong questioned why the landing platform regulations were so stringent.
Those helicopters can land in some pretty rough
spots. They can land anywhere and pick up people
and yet they are required to have a pristine area to
drop people off, said Coun. Armstrong. You dont
have to spend $2 million to upgrade. To me somebody isnt using their head and I think the money
they spend in upgrading them to that level can be
better spent somewhere else.
Farnden said the service must follow Transport
Canada ruling. She said some latitude is given for
landings in lifesaving measures, but for repeated
landing sites, Transport Canada enforces its guidelines.
She said the future will bring more use of medium-sized air transport vehicles, and suggested it
may be good planning for a municipality to consider the landing pads upgrades needed in the future
for those medium-sized helicopters, as they may be
a part of municipal emergency preparedness plans.
Communities in Bloom set to expand with help

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Chinook Financial announced it will be continuing its yearly $1,000 financial contribution towards
the Communities in Bloom birth forest in Strathmore until the year 2020.
In addition, Chinook Financial is making a onetime contribution of $2,500 to go towards the establishment of the new birth forest.
According to Kimberley Sharkey-Thompson, Chinook Financial contributes so the non-profit Communities in Bloom can be assured of the $1,000
yearly funding for a few years to come.
Every year, Communities in Bloom has come
back to us and requested another year of sponsoring, she said. And so this year, in addition to
the $1,000, were also making a commitment to do
the $1,000 in 2017 to 2020.
The branch manager also said Chinook Financial
staff volunteers their time and assistance planting
the trees in the birth forest.
Rob Pirie, chairman of Strathmore Communities
in Bloom, said of Chinook Financials contribution: Its fantastic. Its truly a commitment to the
community of Strathmore.
The new birth forest will be moving along Centennial Blvd., starting at Thomas Drive and heading eastward. Communities in Bloom will incorporate pathways and benches in the new birth forest
community. Forty-five trees will be planted in the
new spot starting next spring.
Pirie said that the birth forest was started along
Green Meadows drive nine years ago, and vol-unteers have planted 45-plus trees there every year
since then.
Weve filled that area and, as a result, were mov-
ing, and so we asked the credit union if theyd be

willing to sponsor us again, so they came through
and helped sponsor us, Pirie said.
Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit
organization committed to fostering civic pride,
environmental responsibility and beautification
through community involvement and the challenge of a national program, with focus on enhancing green spaces in communities.
Pirie said the idea of the birth forest is to develop a sense of community and a feeling of accomplishment.
Sharkey-Thompson said Chinook Financial is
always looking for ways to give back to the community and it is within the companys mandate
and cooperative philosophy to give back to the
community in ways that make a difference.
Communities in Bloom is just one of those organizations that has a real positive impact for the
community, she said. One of our pillars is looking for those types of organizations that have a
strong, real positive impact.
Eagle Lake Nursery and the Town of Strathmore
have also been major partners in sponsoring this
project along with Chinook Financial.
We couldnt be doing this without support from
council and Eagle Lake Nursery, Pirie said. Anita Hoover (Eagle Lake Nursery) has done a tremendous job of supporting us over the years. We
would not be able to do it without them because
they also are making a huge financial commitment
to this and have been for the last eight years.
Communities in Bloom is made up of volunteers
and is always looking for more volunteers. Those
who are interested can go to the Strathmore Communities in Bloom website or Facebook page for
more information.
Environment policy leads to new hire

SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
A new environmental policy accepted by Wheatland County council resulted in the hiring of a new
full time environmental coordinator.
The previous coordinator has come back from
maternity leave and is on a .6 position. We would
like to give the person currently filling this role
a full time position. It means about a $40,000 increase, CAO Alan Parkin.
The full time environmental coordinator position
was included in the accepted environmental policy.
The position will be responsible to the agricultural
service board, but the coordinator will also work
closely with the county planning department.
With environmental regulations changing at a
rapid pace, and new regulations being developed
by the province and the South Saskatchewan Regional plan, there is a need for a qualified staff
member to address any issues that arise, according
to Parkin.
When someone phones and has an environmen-
tal issue, we will have a person who is trained,

who will be able to go out and follow up, he said.
Under legislation, we have a duty to follow up.
Councillors wanted the calls investigated, with
any frivolous issues weeded out, prior to Alberta
Environment involvement.
There was discussion that this may be setting up
a second level of monitoring and that the county
really has no punitive measures to deal with infractions.
This is our ratepayers who live and work in our
county. We owe them duties of care to make sure
things are done right, said Coun. Alice Booth.
Parkin clarified the role would have more of an
educational focus than a punitive one.
There is a lot of legislation out there that people
arent aware of, said Parkin.
Parkin said the county is working on a ratepayer
environmental survey, set for release sometime in
2017, that will identify what environmental concerns residents have and set directions the public would like to see in future policy and decision
making processes.

Lifes little pleasures

PAT FULE
Fule for Thought
Recently, I got to MC the Crisis Societys Dueling Pianos Fund Raiser. The night also consisted
of a live auction. I havent been to many auctions,
and heres what I learned about them. If you see a
friend in the crowd, do not wave to him!
I did, and the auctioneer took my wave as a
$350 bid! Ive never been so scared, I didnt even
know what Id bid on, and I frantically thought
about ways to find that money fast! Luckily, the
auctioneer let me off the hook and another person won the bid! I did tell my friend that Id never
wave at him again!
I think that gave a lot of people some laughs, to
see if Id have to pay for a dumb mistake. I also
like to find humour in things that happen, it can
be a good way to deal with life. When I was a kid
and a paper boy, I had one of the biggest laughs
of my life. I was rounding the corner with my paper bag weighing me down, when I saw a young
lady getting groceries out of her trunk. It was winter, very cold and icy all good ingredients for a
big slip, and fall!
Yup, as I lumbered around the corner, she hit
glare ice with her boot, and she and all her groceries went up (briefly), then down with what was
probably a good thud! I couldnt help myself I
had to ditch into the bushes along the road! I was
hysterical, I laughed so hard I was crying, and the
teardrops were starting to freeze! Then, the poor
lady tried to get up, and down, she went again!
It was all too much for a 12-year-old boy to take
my laughter switched to the silent, shrugging
ones where your whole body is overcome. Luckily, she never saw me, but that sight has stood
with me for 40 years! I know its awful, but every
now and then when Im blue, it always brings me
a smile!
Vehicles can bring little joys to a persons life.
For example, I was recently in Calgary for a vehicle service. While waiting, I decided to walk a bit,
and cut through another dealership. Heres where
you can try a simple but effective, and fun trick.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a salesman
walking behind me. He was trying to catch up to
me, so I increased my pace. He increased his pace
and I increased mine some more, forcing him into
a light jog! This guy was in a suit, and it was nice
and warm out, so I could hear him huffing and
puffing. When he finally caught up, I stopped

abruptly, so that he almost crashed into me. As
he asked if I needed help, I laughed that was just
passing through heh heh got another one!
If you have a power lift gate on any of your
SUVs, try the game I play. With your remote,
watch and wait for someone to walk close enough
to your vehicle, so that when you hit the button,
the lift has a chance to raise and give them a little
bump, or scare! Its free entertainment, its fun,
and an easy way to hunt shoppers! You can also
play another game on your own family with your
vehicle! I call it: The Door Lock Game.
All you need is power locks, a snowy or rainy
day, and a trusting kid. You get in on your side
and lock the power locks. Then, you dont let in
your kid, and motion to the door handle. Ah, the
fun, the competition and good times, of seeing if
your child can open the outer door as you unlock,
and lock the door from inside! For this to truly
work best, you should play the game in a good
downpour, or in blizzard conditions! It does help
your child to set goals for himself, and deal with
failure, too! They also learn to respect the power
of Mother Nature. One warning: I would avoid
this game in severe lightning storms that seems
to take the fun out for the kid!
One cold January morning at SHS, some male
(its always the guys!) students decided they wanted a day off from school. So, at about 2 a.m., they
pulled up in a pickup truck with a huge garbage
pail full of water. They proceeded to drive up to
every exterior door, and poured water along the
bottom sills to freeze them solidly! Their hope was
that if no one could get in, maybe, just maybe,
school could be cancelled. They hadnt known the
coach and players for the boys basketball team
had a 7 a.m. practice! So, the players were able to
chip away the ice to get the door open, and the
school day was saved! Our culprits also forgot we
have security cameras outside, and a clear image
of them, their truck, and its license plate was in
full view! They were able to get some time off
school, but not the way they had planned!

Strathmore-Brooks stands tall

at Wildrose AGM
MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

The Wildrose Party held its annual general meeting in Red Deer on Oct. 28-29 and party members
voted overwhelmingly to adopt several of the policies put forth by the Strathmore-Brooks Constituency Association.
I think all five of ours that were put forth that
were passed went through pretty unattested, said
Ronda Klemmensen, president of the Wildrose
Partys Strathmore-Brooks Constituency Association (CA). I dont think any of them were totally
unanimous, but a few of them were very close. It
was excellent support.
Five policy resolutions were adopted: repeal
the carbon tax; repeal Bill 6 and engage in consultations with farmers to draft more reasonable
farm safety legislation; restore the single-rate flat
income tax that was replaced by higher taxes by
the PCs and NDP; implement income-splitting for
families and seniors; reform public sector pensions to address unfunded liabilities.
Klemmensen said the board worked really hard
and that Logan Vaughan, VP Policy StrathmoreBrooks CA, did an outstanding job putting it together.
He does a lot of the legwork for the board,
researching and writing the policy, and he did a
really good job. Im really proud of him, said Klemmensen.
Wildrose is a common-sense, grassroots political party that stands up for ordinary, hardworking
Albertans, said Vaughan. Our policy process, and
the success of the policies that we put forward,
together illustrate this character of our party.
Natasha Lausen, secretary for the StrathmoreBrooks CA, did the writing for Bill 6 while Vaughan
wrote all the other policies put forward.
We were really, really proud of her and the one
that she put together, said Klemenssen.
Klemmensen said that once a year, each Wildrose constituency association reviews a policy
and constitution book and each respective board
determines if there is anything that they would
like to see amended or changed.
In addition, at this time the board also decides
on new policies.
Klemmensen said Vaughan put approximately 20 policies forward to the Strathmore-Brooks
board and the board ranked these in terms of importance.
The Strathmore-Brooks board discussed the
policies, put them in writing and then came up
with a unanimous vote to put the policies forward

at the AGM in Red Deer.
Next, all the Alberta constituency association
offices, including Strathmore-Brooks, sent all the
proposed policies to the Wildrose Partys head office, where the list was compiled and sent back to
all the various constituency offices and each office
ranked the overall compiled policies.
Next, these policies were sent back to the Wildrose head office and prioritized. The policies
came to the floor at the AGM in ranked order of
highest to lowest.
So what actually hits the floor, is what the CAs
want based on how they ranked everything, said
Klemenssen.
Sixty-two policies went to the floor during the
AGM but only 30 got heard, and only 20 were
passed.
In addition, five out of the 20 policies were
passed from the Strathmore-Brooks CA and this
rendered the association quite successful in getting its proposed policies heard and adopted.
So five of ours actually got to the floor and got
read and got voted on and all five got passed,
said Klemmensen. We were quite excited about
it.
Klemmensen said because the policies were
adopted so easily with little opposition made it
pretty clear that the policies were standard, pretty
common sense policies that need to happen.
The Strathmore-Brooks CA also won the most
memberships sold for the party out of any constituency.
We won that award and we won the award for
fundraising, said Klemmensen. We made a pretty
good splashy show at the AGM this year. Everybody knew who Strathmore-Brooks was.
Klemmensen said the associations main focus
going forward is trying to continue the membership drive and get as many members as possible.
Were totally focusing on membership and trying
to increase the membership, she said.
According to Klemmensen, the Wildrose Party
stands for a fair, honest, conservative government
that represents their constituencies.
In the province of Alberta there are 87 constituency associations along with 22 sitting MLAs for
the Wildrose Party.
Wildrose is still trying to get the boards going
in all 87 constituencies so that in this next election
we can get candidates and make sure that there is
one in every constituency, said Klemmensen.
The next provincial election is scheduled for
2019.

The Battle of Beaumont Hamel July 1st, 1916 (1 day) /

The Battle of the Somme July 2nd, 1916 (4 months)
Trench warfare had begun along a front line
almost 1,000 kilometres across Belgium and France.
The Western Front were the forces of France,
Britain and allies such as Canada and the other
front were the Germans. In between them, No
Mans Land of barbed wire and shell holes. The
German defence had grenades, mines, machine
guns, snipers and barbed wire. All of these, plus
artillery and sickness took their toll. Plans were
made by the Allies to join their resources for
the Big Push through the German defensive
lines. This was planned to happen in the Somme
River valley of Northern France, near the village
of Beaumont-Hamel. The Battle of the Somme
began with an attack by hundreds of thousands of
British and French troops in the morning on July
1st, 1916. It was a slaughter more than 57,000
British Commonwealth troops would be killed,
wounded, taken prisoner or go missing the highest
single day losses in the British Armys history. The
sector of the front at Beaumont-Hamel were the
Newfoundland Regiment. The attack was supposed
to be a surprise, but the Germans knew they
were coming and the initial Allied bombardment
failed to damage the German defences. The
Newfoundlanders a part of the 29th British Division
attacked from a trench nicknamed St. Johns Road,
which was actually behind the front line. At No
Mans Land, they were expected to cross through
tangles of barbed wire to reach enemy trenches,
more than 500 metres away. Along the way, there
was a tree partway down the slope that marked the
spot where German fire was very intense. It was
nicknamed the danger tree by the Newfoundland
troops and it marked the spot where many of them
would fall. They tucked in their chins, as if to go into
a blizzard, and would be practically decimated in
less than half an hour of German fire. It was the first
day known as the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel of
more than four very brutal months of fighting, which
became known as the Battle of the Somme. More
than 650,000 Allied soldiers were killed, wounded,
missing or taken as prisoner, and both the Allies and

Germans would each lose about 200,000 lives.
This was the cost for the Allies to move the front
line only 10 kilometres.
Losses sustained by the Newfoundland
Regiment at Beaumont-Hamel were enormous.
Of the 800 or so in the Regiment that went into
battle, only 68 answered roll call the next
day. The dead included 14 sets of
brothers, including four lieutenants
from the Ayre family of St. Johns. The
commander of the 29th British Division
said of the actions of the Newfoundland
Regiment on that July morning:
It was a magnificent display of
trained and disciplined valour, and its
assault only failed of success because dead
men can advance no further.
The Newfoundland Regiment would be almost
wiped out, but its survivors continued to see action
in the fighting and reinforcements would come
to help rebuild it. The Regiment went on to earn
the official designation Royal from the British
Crown in recognition of its gallant actions at Ypres
and Cambrai the only unit of the British Army
to earn that distinction. By the
end of the war, more than 6,200
Newfoundlanders had served in its
ranks. More than 1,300 of them lost
their lives and 2,500 were wounded or
taken prisoner, which in all
would have a major impact
on the dominion for many years
to come.

A unique drumming experience
Students from drumline at the football game in

September. The crowd was thrilled to see this
unique drumming experience that is very popular
in the United States during school sports games
and pep rallies.

A unique music event performed
for the crowd at Holy Cross Collegiate
(HCC) Hawks football game on Oct. 28.
The HCC drumline, part of the
schools music program, was part of
the schools pep rally on the day of the
football game, much to the delight of
the home crowd and visitors alike.
According to HCC music director Sarah Haughey, members of the away team
at the football game were so excited to
see it. I think they thought it was cool.
The drumline is interesting because
I think therere only three or four high
schools in Alberta that have a drumline,

added Haughey, who said Chestermere
High and Three Hills are among those
schools.
According to Haughey, drumline is
new to Canada, but is quite popular in
the United States.
It happens in the U.S. all the time,
she said, and there is even a movie that
showcases the music called Drumline.
Id just like people in the community
to know that there are musical experiences outside of traditional, classroom
music and band that are really beneficial to students, said Haughey.
In the U.S., drumlines play at pep rallies and sport events, and competing

schools have drumline battles. Drumline encompasses only the percussion

of a marching band. It includes snare
drums, bass drums, quads and cymbals.
Haughey saw drumline for the first
time at a teachers convention workshop when Chestermere High teacher
Leo Johnson did a drumline workshop.
We thought, how cool is that, and
the division basically provided the
drums for our school for something
new, said Haughey. She explained that
it is not cheap equipment.
HCC also offers a world drumming
program in addition to the regular concert band offered to Grade 7 through
Grade 12 students, and it contains traditional percussion from around the
world.
My world drumming Im really
proud of too, because thats really different as well, said Haughey. A lot
of schools have drum days in the elementary part, but through high school
theres not usually much of an opportunity to learn authentic music from
somewhere else in the world.
Haughey teaches traditional West African drumming to Grade 7 students
and then switches to more of a world
drumming focus once students reach
Grade 10.
The program for high school students
encompasses African drumming, Japanese Taiko drumming and some steel
drumming from Trinidad, which was
just added to the program this year.
Haughey said the world drumming
program gives students, who arent
necessarily band students, an opportunity to participate in music.
They get a really good, authentic
music experience without knowing
how to read music because we learn
traditionally, said Haughey.
Haughey attended the University of
Lethbridge where she said there was a
pretty big world drumming community.
So, during her second year teaching at
HCC, she decided to bring the program
to the students who arent necessarily
interested in band as a musical experience.
Haughey and her music students often go to the University of Lethbridge
to do clinics with percussion professor
Adam Mason. Theres not that many
people in Alberta who really know a lot
about world drumming, said Haughey.
Haughey said both the drumline and
the world drumming groups may be
going to play in the Fort Macleod Santa
Claus Day Parade on Nov. 26.
Haughey and her music students are
travelling to Whistler, B.C. to compete
in the Con Brio Whistler Music Festival, a three-day non-competitive music
festival, running Apr. 27-30, 2017. They
will stop in Vancouver prior to the festival to do some world drumming workshops. Fundraising efforts are under
way.
At HCC, we really value music and
we have a lot of different opportunities, said Haughey. The teacher said
her music group tries to play in the
community and is open to performing
at different types of functions.

spell-a-thon raises funds
sults tallied and given to the
parent school council committee. The collected money
went back to school council
and then the school committee held a big reveal with tallied results on Oct. 28 lead
by Amanda Mansell.
We kept the amount hidden and then we had a fun
spelling bee challenge with
our teachers on that assembly day as part of the reveal, said Zulyniak.
After the announcement
of total money raised, some
prize categories were awarded and all students who participated in the spell-a-thon
were entered into random
prize draws for each grade
level. Prizes were awarded
for the highest number of
fundraisers.
The school council awarded prizes as a bit of an incentive for the kids, said
Zulyniak, who added that
there were a lot of local businesses that sponsored prizes
and the school council committee also purchased some
prizes to give out.
Everybody also received
donated McDonalds and
Dairy Queen coupons.
The spell-a-thon fundraiser campaign has been
in operation since 2003 and
continues to do well each
year. Zulyniak said the campaign drew an all-time high
one year of approximately
$18,000.
Its great to see the support our family and friends
give to our school, said Zulyniak. It was a great effort
from the parents and very
nice to see that were getting
that support in our school
community.

A
spell-a-thon
hosted
by Sacred Heart Academy
raised over $14,000 muchneeded funding for school
programs.
School vice principal Lauren Zulyniak said the support received from the spella-thon was phenomenal
from our family and friends
of Sacred Heart.
The spell-a-thon is Sacred
Hearts one and only annual fundraiser from school
council and is held each fall.
It is led by a parent committee which does all the behind the scenes work. Funds
raised go towards school
council-sponsored events for
students in musical, drama
and sports, such as the Alberta Opera, Evergreen Theatre and Curling Canadas
Rocks & Rings program.
Amanda Mansell is the
chairperson for the school
council and, with other committee parents, helped organize this years spell-a-thon.
The students were given
a list of spelling challenge
words by grade level, and
then studied and practiced
their words at home and at
school. They then sought
pledges from family, friends
and the community, to help
sponsor them in their spelling challenge. Students discussed setting personal goals
with community members.
For example, one personal
goal may have been stating
an intention to try their best
and work towards 100 per
cent on the test.
Tests were taken in each
students classroom and re-

Take Our Kids to Work program gives a dose of reality

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Grade 9 students across Canada, including those in Strathmore, participated in the Take Our Kids to Work program on Nov. 2.
The program allows Grade 9 students to shadow a parent, friend, family
member or community member in their
job for a day to experience the inner
workings of the profession and decide
if the career choice may eventually be
right for them.
An alternate purpose of the day was
for students to experience first-hand
how their parents make a living and
spark the thought process of thinking
about different careers.
Linda Tucker, principal at Crowther
Memorial Junior High School (CMJHS)
said: Kids are sent out into the community to learn first-hand what work
is like.
Tucker referred to the program as
outstanding and said that there was
an assignment that needed to be done
and there were also a series of questions that students needed to ask the
employers.
Laura Ryan, a teacher at CMJHS, was
the local coordinator of the Take Our
Kids to Work program along with other health teachers at the junior high
school.
Ryan said that in Grade 9, students
start to think about interests, and they
start to look at what courses they want
to take or what grades they need to get
into certain education and job streams
down the road.
She said the Take Our Kids to Work
program just kind of initiates that
thought process. What jobs do I definitely want, what am I definitely interested in or what am I definitely not interested in?
Ryan said the program also initiates
conversation about future careers: How
important is passion in a job? Do your
parents do the job because they have
to, or do they do the job because they
love to? What do you want to do?
Ryan cautioned the intent of the program was not to pressure students into
picking their career because obviously
that doesnt happen for lots of people
until they are 20.
Ryan and the health teachers discussed general work etiquette with the
students, such as what is on time for
a job, or what does an actual job shift
look?
She said some students assume a typical job shift for a teacher is limited to
the six to seven hours that teachers put
in at school, for instance.
Teachers always find it interesting

because lots of people think its only

8:30 to 3:30, but theres lots of behindthe-scenes work, said Ryan.
To take part in the Take Our Kids to
Work day, students were responsible
for setting up their host (employer),
and this was most often the parent or
guardian. However, if students werent
interested in their guardians profession, they were able to go somewhere
else by calling other community members and setting up a different place of
work to visit.
The program works just as well at
eliminating potential career paths as
discovering potential career paths, and
the process is one of true exploration.
Ryan said a student last year went to
a vet clinic because she loves animals,
but once the clinic started cleaning an
animals ears and the student was exposed to certain smells, she suddenly
passed out. She later said to me, I dont
know if I can be in that environment.
After returning to school this year,
students were given a career fair project where they had to discuss what
they did for the Take Our Kid to Work
day over two to three health classes.
So then not only do they get to experience what they experience, they
get to see what other people did and
then its a little more job exploration,
said Ryan.
Next, students will be given an opportunity to use an online portfolio
My Blueprint where they can select
courses they could potentially take during high school that shows them exact-

what careers would open up for them.
Ryan said the program is valuable
because oftentimes kids get streamed
into just 10 job ideas, such as teaching,
nursing, engineering, accounting, and
its hard to think past that scope.
I think the fact that they have threeand-a-half years left in their mandatory
school career hits them and they think,
OK, now Im getting to a point where
I do get to make my own decisions and
thats a little stressful but its also cool,

to the Blackfalds Wranglers 6-1 at the
Strathmore Family Centre on Nov. 1.

Penalties hurt Kings

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Wheatland Kings have
suffered another snag in their schedule
as they try to correct a mini four-game
slide.
The Blackfalds Wranglers whacked the
Kings 6-1 Nov. 1 and the High River Flyers clipped the Kings 4-3 Nov. 4.
Im not too sure what has happened.
We are playing good, I really think it is
a couple bounces that havent gone our
way, said Kings forward Cole Busslinger.
Three of the four losses on this current
streak have been of the one-goal variety
including an exaggerated shootout loss
to the Ponoka Stampeders (3-11-1) Oct.
23.
We have the skill to compete with any
team, we just have to stay out of penalty trouble and we should be fine, said
Kings netminder Pierre Wiederhold.
The Kings (4-8-3) penalty kill has been
near flawless on the road. They lead the
Heritage Junior Hockey League (HJHL)
with an 84.62 penalty kill percentage
away from the Strathmore Family Centre. But when they are forced to send a
player to the box, they take away from
possible time that they could be unleashing their crash-the-net offence into the
other zone.
The Kings killed all five Flyer power
plays, but ran out of time in the third
period to mount a comeback.
Alternate captain Cole Busslinger
brought the Kings within one with
11:40 remaining in the third from d-man
Hayden Vanderploeg, but they couldnt
push another across.
I thought we controlled the pace
in the final 10 minutes. There might
have been a few chances where we
just missed the net, where is if we bear
down a little more, maybe we could
have made things happen. High River

also capitalized on all their good chances, and that is something we are missing
out on right now, said Busslinger, who
is fourth on the team with six goals and
12 points.
The Kings also carry the top-ranked
power play in the HJHL, operating at a
32.35 per cent clip.
The efficient power play unit of Kristian Ayoungman, Brooker Pretty Youngman and Matt Thomson connected to
opening the scoring in the first. It was
Ayoungmans 10th goal of the season.
Brenden Moore added a goal another
power play marker in the second from
Nolan Lightning and Ayoungman.
Brady Hoover was given a breather,
so rookie Pierre Wiederhold got the call
between the pipes.
The Okotoks native played for his
hometown midget AA Oilers last season.
This was his third start and his first action since Oct. 23.
I just prepare the same way I always
do; work hard in practice to get ready
for the weekend. Brady has done a great
job in net all year, but I need to be ready
for any situation. I make sure I eat right
and mentally focus in case I get called
upon, said Wiederhold, who made 35
stops.
The Kings were trounced 8-1 by the
Wranglers (8-5-0) on one of three Tuesday night tilts this season.
The Wranglers were relentless, scoring
two goals each frame. Thomson pushed
an unassisted goal across at the 19:35
mark of the second.
There is some low hanging fruit approaching the Kings as they aim to
shake this schneid.
The Three Hills Thrashers (5-9-1) host
the Kings Nov. 11 at Centennial Arena.
The Kings return home Nov. 12 to host
the Stettler Lightning (6-7-1) 8:15 p.m. at
the Strathmore Family Centre.

Cole Busslinger
The Strathmore Wheatland Kings are Back!
As a result of an 8-0 start, the CFR

Chemicals Bisons have developed a
bit of a target on their back.
Teams are giving us their best effort now, said Bisons head coach
Sandy Henry. They see the standings
and they are trying to dethrone us.
They are coming at us with great efforts each night and we need to work
on matching that.
The Bisons travelled to Sherwood
Park for the Alberta Minor Hockey League showcase extravaganza.
Teams from around the league played
at Sherwood Park Arena as it provided a chance for scouts from Junior A,
the Western Hockey League and United States colleges to take a look at the
talent.
For their efforts, the Bisons returned home with three points. They
edged the Knights of Columbus Pats
4-3 Nov. 5, and skated to a 2-2 tie after
the time change Nov. 6 with the Fort
Saskatchewan Boston Pizza Rangers.
It was the Bisons (10-0-2) first glance
at the two Dodge division teams.
We didnt really have any video to
go off of, said Henry. For the most
part, we just try and stick to our game
plan when we play new teams and try
to force them to adjust to what we are
doing.
The extra hour of sleep didnt seem
to boost the Bisons. They jumped out
to a two-goal lead in the first on goals
from Lethbridge Hurricanes ninthround pick Jackson Salt and captain
Brett Trentham.
The Rangers (2-8-2) seized momentum in the second period when the
Bisons handcuffed themselves with
six penalties.
They definitely took advantage
with all the time on the power play.
We werent terrible, but I just feel like
we let an opportunity slip away, said
Henry.
Goaltender Hunter Young sustained
a concussion earlier last week and
was a scratch. Henry stated he is still
going through the concussion protocol and there is no timetable for his
return. While he still travelled with the
team, the Bisons called up Ty Tarvyd
from the Wheatland midget AA Chiefs
to back up Ben Laidlaw. Laidlaw recorded 54 saves on 60 shots over the
course of the two games.

Henry and his coaching staff
werent surprised by the strong effort
put forth by the Pats (4-7-1).
We talked before the game and
we knew they were a big skilled
team on paper with a few identifiable
names, said Henry. They have probably under-achieved this season, but
they played with a great structure and
made things difficult for us.
Most notably, Kirby Dach was selected second overall by the Saskatoon Blades during the 2016 WHL
bantam draft.
Tarun Fizer netted his sixth and the
winner from Brandon Machado and
Trentham with 9:22 remaining in the
third.
We didnt have the greatest start,
we had a poor warm up and they
came out hard on us, said Henry. I
thought we controlled the third and
we had a couple great scoring chances to really put them away late but we
couldnt capitalize.
Other Bisons goals came from
Landon Melzer, Payton Krebs and
Machado with assists to Liam Belcourt, Zach Huber, Fizer (2) and Salt.
The Bisons drop the puck at the
Strathmore Family Centre at 8 p.m.
on Remembrance Day when the
Grande Peace Ernies Sports Storm
(4-6-2) come to town. The following
night (Nov. 12), the Bisons host the
Lloydminster Bandit Energy Bobcats
(3-8-1) for an AMHL league championship rematch. Game time is set for
5:15 p.m.
The Bisons dusted the Bobcats 6-2
earlier this season in Lloydminster.
With the end presumably closer
than the beginning, Schiffner has
been asked about how long he plans
to keep competing.
I dont think about it too much.
I realize that Im on borrowed time.
But for me, it comes down to three
things: if Im having fun competing
and not embarrassing myself, if Im
still healthy enough to compete and
if I can still make money in it, then
Ill keep competing, said Schiffner.
Who knows, I might come back from
Edmonton and think its time to quit,
or I might come back from an event
in two years and think its time then.
But for now, Im just gonna keep
putting my hand in the rope and see
what happens.

Strongman Sauve scores

eighth at Worlds
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

Nolan Sauve has put Strathmore on
the map in world-class weight lifting.
Sauve recently returned from
Mooresville, Ind., where he placed
eighth out of 18 during the Giants
Live 90K Worlds Strongest Man competition held Oct. 22 at the Core Fitness Club.
Given the fact he only had three
weeks notice to get ready, I thought
he did an incredible job, said owner of Core Fitness Club Aaron Molin, who also referees official World
Strongest Man events.
I felt like I could have done a little
bit better if I had more time to train.
I was a little beat up coming off nationals and three weeks isnt a long
enough turnaround time, said Sauve.
Sauve, a Gleichen product, captured
the Alberta Strong Man competition
at the end of August in Fort McMurray and won the national Strong Man
competition in Regina Sept. 22, which
earned him a spot in Indiana.
We were very excited to have Canadas strongest man down here, it was
very important to us for him to make
the trip, said Molin. I heard of him
on the Internet and saw some of his
previous competitions. He is a great
lifter and a great guy.
Some guys dedicate their lives to
the sport; Sauve just finished his third
season of competitions. He became
hooked on the sport after watching
some shows and YouTube videos of
lifters like Zydrunas Savickas and Vytautas Lalas.
I am a little surprised at how far
its taken me. Ive had the right opportunities, did (well) at them, Ive
been injury free and now its rolling,
said Sauve.
Without a coach, dietitian or trainer, Sauve is self-made. Training in his
own gym on his farm, Sauve probably
has enough equipment to put local
gyms out of business if he wanted to.
Thats what happens when you bench
press 350-400 pounds and squat in
the 500s.
Ive just been collecting equipment
and building my own stuff over the
years, he said.
Sauve isnt completely alone; he
still has the support of his friends,
the community, his parents and his
girlfriend of five years, Rachel Tunke.
He lives and breathes weightlifting. He probably works out six to seven times a week and for two to three
hours each day, said Tunke, who
studied kinesiology at the University
of Lethbridge. When we travel for a
vacation or to visit my family, he is
always checking to find the nearest
gym that can satisfy his needs.
Hotel gyms and local YMCAs might
not particularly meet Sauves needs,
but he manages.
His work ethic is very impressive.
He has always worked out, but he
takes this very seriously. His dedication and determination is amazing,
said Tunke.
Sauve was hovering around sixth
place entering the final discipline, the
atlas stones, but couldnt manage to
place the 240-pound stones onto the
66-inch high platform.
The competition was a one-day
event. There was a weigh-in the
morning, and then the grunting began at noon and carried on for the
next six hours.

It wasnt too bad, we had about a
half-hour break between events, depending on how you placed in the previous event, said Sauve.
Points were handed out in each category, ranging from one to 18, with 18
points awarded for first place. The person with the most accumulated points
at the end was crowned the winner.
Lifting nearly 5,300 pounds over the
duration, Sauve earned 14.5 points for
the max deadlift (lifting 700-pound
Hummer tires), 14 points in the load
medley (carrying two 250-pound kegs
and two 250-pound sandbags), nine
points in the press medley (shoulder
pressing a 200-pound keg, 174 pound
dumbbell and 285 pound axel), eight
points in the carry and drag (carry a
800-pound yoke and drag a 700-pound
chain), nine points in the power stairs
(carry 275, 300 and 325 pound block
up six steps) and zero points in the atlas stones.
The yoke and chain drag were the
most tiring events, but the hardest ones
were the power steps and atlas stones
because Im so short, said Sauve, who
stands 5-foot-9.
Sauve, 25, was the only Canadian

representative and finished eighth
with 54.5 points. Terry Rady of the
United States placed first with 101.
Sauve missed the podium by 24.5
points. The successful showing in
Moorseville earned Sauve a trip to next
years nationals, which has yet to be
determined when or where, as he eyes
another trip back to Worlds.
Hopefully next time he has a little
bit more time to prepare and then I
think we will see what he can really
do. He has the potential to definitely
make a run at this thing, said Molin.

McInnis rushes to league title in overtime

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

It was the moment kids go to bed
hoping to dream about: tie game in
overtime with a chance to win the
league championship.
For Austin McInnis, that dream became reality Nov. 5 at a surprisingly
warm Crowther Memorial Junior High
School (CMJHS) field.
The Strathmore Community Football
Association (SCFA) peewee Badgers
downed the Red Deer Hornets 12-6 in
front of a lively crowd to capture the
Central Alberta Peewee Football Association league title.
For the SCFA organization, it was
their first league title in any of the three
age groups since 2002, when the bantam team was crowned Tier I champions.
Tied 6-6 after the fourth quarter, the
Hornets won the coin toss and elected
to take the ball.
Backed up because of penalties, the
Hornets faced third and what seemed
like a mile. Thats when Hornets quarterback Matthew LaBonte connected
with wide out Ryan Raymont on a 38yard pass down towards the Badgers
goal line.
Our D made a few mistakes today,
but we bent and didnt break, said
Badgers head coach Doug Thiessen.
They were lights out all year for us just
like they were today.
The Hornets were looking at first and
goal when they were swarmed by the
Badgers defensive line, backing them
up with eight and 12-yard sacks. Trying
to salvage their situation, the Hornets
tried to kick the ball through the end
zone for the rouge, but that was also
blocked.
The Badgers took over on downs
back at the 35. Any score would clinch
them the championship.
We called a run play that was only
supposed to pick up five, maybe 10
yards so we could kick the ball for the
win, said Thiessen.
McInnis took the handoff to the left,
bounced off a tackle in the A gap and
was gone 35 yards to pay dirt and the
league championship.
It feels really good to score a big
touchdown like that, said McInnis,
who was beaming after the game. It
was his third touchdown of the season.
The play was an R1F1 handoff through
the line and I was able to deke my way

through to the opening.
It was a sentimental touchdown as
well for McInnis. Earlier in the season,
teammate Sean Grill broke his leg at
practice one night. While he was in the
hospital, a pair of Calgary Stampeders visited him. Afterwards, Thiessen
bought him a pair of Stamps gloves.
Grill gave them to McInnis prior to the
game and told him to wear them and to
score a touchdown for him.
As soon as McInnis crossed the goal
line and the referees signaled touchdown, the entire Badgers roster and
coaching staff poured onto the field
while the Hornets fell to their knees in
shock and heartbreak.
The boys played great today. Both
teams played well; there was nothing
more I could have asked from them.
They played their hearts out, said Hornets head coach Tracy Collins-Decker.
Its hard for them when they lose a
game like that so quickly.
Parents rushed the field to take photos, Thiessen was given an ice bath
from his team, and league commissioner Carl Seafoot presented the trophy to
the captains.
That was one of the toughest games
we played all year. I think my team deserved to win this one, said McInnis.
The Peewee Badgers will host the
Bonnyville Renegades on Saturday,
Nov. 12 at 1 p.m. at CMJHS for the Tier
III provincial championship.
SENIOR BADGERS MISS OUT
Unfortunately, the highly anticipated
rematch between the senior Badgers
and the Innisfail Cyclones was a let
down.
The Cyclones cauterized the Badgers
67-6 to win their third-straight Mountain View Football Conference title Nov.
5 in Innisfail.
There was some controversy heading into the finals; the Badgers thought
they should have hosted the championship, but an end-of-season rule change
saw the game transfer to Innisfail.
But for the Badgers, it didnt matter
if the game was in Strathmore, Innisfail or on the moon, they simply didnt
have their A game.
Everything went wrong, said Badgers head coach Sean Seafoot. We
saved our worst game of the season for
the end.
Starting with 19 players on the bench,
Hawks reload for playoff push

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks
football team certainly wont be entering the playoffs with any sort of
momentum.
Playing their final regular season
game of their inaugural campaign, the
Hawks were torched by the number
two ranked Rimbey Spartans 30-0 in
Rimbey.
Like the Hawks experienced earlier
in the season, when teams get up by
more than 30, they stop keeping track
of the score.
They slaughtered us. It was probably around 100-0, said Hawks head
coach Michael Annicchiarico.
Despite the lopsided loss, the
Hawks are searching for positives as
they prepare for their B side semifinals.
We took it as a learning experience, said Annicchiarico. I think our
guys were a little intimidated during

the warm up and it showed. They are
a fantastic team with great coaching
and that is a program we are striving
to be like going forward
Fortunately, it wasnt our last game
of the season. We are looking forward
to getting back out onto the field.
The Hawks (3-5) finished sixth in
the south division, which means they
will take on the fifth-place Assumption School Crusaders (3-5) Nov. 12 at
Jackson Field.
Just like us, Assumption is a firstyear program. They had a slow start
but have won three straight to end
their season, said Annicchiarico. We
have a little bit of film to go off of, but
we are all just excited for this game.
The Hawks took off Nov. 11 on the
six-hour bus ride and will stay overnight with the game Saturday.
The Redwater Renegades (3-5) and
Caroline Cougars (4-4) face off in the
other semifinal.
Central Peewee Football League commissioner Carl Seafoot present the league title to the Strathmore
Community Football Association Badgers captains Jack Warrack (l-r), Brady Johansen, Austin McInnis, Riley Wiebe and Zachary Kelly Nov. 5 at Crowther Memorial Junior High School Field.

the Badgers limped into the fourth

quarter still scoreless while injuries
shrank their bench to 11 guys.
Its a tough way to end, but it was
a really fun season, I loved coaching
these guys, we have most of the roster
coming back next year to take another
run at it, said Seafoot, whose players
returned to CMJHS just in time to see
peewee McInniss winning touchdown.
I think the players all had a great time
this year and thats what really matters.
BANTAM BADGERS MISS IN
CONSOLATION PLAY
The bantam Badgers played in the
consolation final in Rocky Mountain
House against the Rebels and were
clipped 41-36.
The Badgers were playing catch up
after trailing 5-0 after the first quarter.
Riley Southern registered three touchdowns, Luke Henry and Brandon Middlemiss chipped in a touchdown each,
but it wasnt enough to pass the Rebels.

Warriors offence warming up

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The Wheatland Warriors turned in their first
weekend sweep of the South Central Alberta
Hockey League season, thanks in large part to
strong goaltending and an offensive outburst.
The local double-A bantam team skated to a
7-4 win over the Foothills Bisons (1-11-0) Nov. 4
at Blackie Arena, followed by a 6-3 icing of the
Okotoks Oilers Nov. 6 at the Strathmore Family
Centre. The Warriors (5-7-2) have won three out of
their last four games.
Were heading in the right direction now, said
Warriors head coach Cody Brown. Guys have
bought into our system and we are getting some
positive results.
It was an especially nice win for the Warriors,
who were 0-2 against the Oilers (6-3-2) this season.
The Warriors didnt truly hit their groove until
halfway through the second period against the
Oilers, when they started piling on shots from all
over the ice.
Zach Nicholls was Johnny-on-the-spot in the
first when he picked off an Oilers pass right by
the net and chipped it in.
Warriors captain Kage Yellowfly took a pass
from Kobe Gosling in the corner, calmly slid the
puck between the defenders feet to the left of the
net and unleashed a backhand top shelf to put the
Warriors up 2-1 after two periods.
Yellowfly sits second on the team with seven
goals and 13 points in 14 games.
Adam Kirkpatrick and I have been putting in
hard working shifts and its paying off. Hes nice
to play with, said Yellowfly.
Yellowfly opened the scoring in the third on
a two-on-one rush when he elected to keep the
puck, firing a laser over the blocker of Logan Heffron: 3-1 Warriors.
Kage is a great team player, he brings a good,
consistent work ethic to each shift and the guys
thrive off of that, said Brown.
Trey Gillis and Austin Kuryk found their way
to the back of the net in the third, with Kuryk
registering an empty net goal to ice it with 1:12
renaming.
Thats the thing we have been struggling with
this season; getting pucks on net. Any shot is a
good shot for us right now, said Brown.
Logan Grant started both games over the weekend and turned away 50 of 57 shots.
We need him to be strong in net. He is one of
the returning guys on this roster so we are expecting him to take charge and be steady in the
crease, said Brown.
The guys are playing great in front of me and
doing a great job clearing pucks, said Grant. It
feels really good to pick up a pair of wins. Now
we know we can play like this and we need to
carry it into the second half of the season.
The Warriors are in tough this weekend as they

CHIEFS BEAT HOUNDS
The Wheatland Chiefs (9-1-1) avenged their early season loss to the Medicine Hat Hounds (7-3-2)
in a battle for first place in the South conference
and gave themselves a little bit of breathing room
as well.
The local double-A midget team dropped a
one-goal game to the Hounds three weeks ago in
Medicine Hat, but blew the doors off them in the
rematch, leaving with an 8-2 victory Nov. 6 at Kinplex I Arena.
The Chiefs opened the game with a six-goal explosion in the first period, much of it coming from
players not on their top line.
Kelton Travis started it with a solo effort 6:31
into the first, followed by an avalanche of goals
from Scott Desserre, Wacy Sandum, captain Ryan
Bell, and a pair from Kale Clouston.
With the game basically over, Travis added his
second snipe and Bell registered his second goal
in the third.
A.J. Kusu, Brady Skiffington, Ryan Longmuir,
Clouston and Sandum each recorded a pair of assists. Zachary Suntjens, Lucas Muenchrath and Riley Romashenko supplied one assist each.
Riley Stovka started in net with Ty Tarvyd getting called up to play with the CFR Chemicals Bisons. He carried a blank slate into the third and
finished with 19 saves for his third win.
The Chiefs doubled up the Foothills Bisons 4-2
Nov. 5 at Tom Hornecker Recreation Centre. They
led 2-1 after the first frame on goals from Muenchrath and Sandum, and added a pair of second period goals from Chayse Hnatowich and Sandums
second to ice the Bisons. Isaac Benoit and Skiffington supplied a pair of assists each.
Tarvyd was barely tested, making 13 saves for
his sixth win.
The Cranbrook Dynamiters (0-10-0) visit Hussar
Arena Nov. 11, puck drop 7:30 p.m. The last time
these two teams faced off, the Chiefs blasted the
Dynamiters 8-0 in the second game of the year.
Nov. 20, the Chiefs are on the road in Red Deer to
take on the Elks (3-5-3) at Kinsmen Twin Arenas.
BRAVES DROP TWO
The Wheatland Braves (1-10-1) couldnt build
any momentum following their first win of the
season and dropped a pair of weekend bouts.
The local double-A peewee team fell 8-5 to the
Red Deer Motors (5-2-3) Nov. 6 at Kinsmen Twin
Arenas.
Nolan Mahussier buried two goals; Tyler Fairbairn registered a goal and an assist with remaining goals coming from Tate Yule and Philip Ray-

effectively, I believe we will be able to compete against the

top four teams at zones, said Moncks.
Zones run Nov. 18 and 19 at Bert Church High School in
Airdrie. Until then, Moncks will be working his girls hard on
passing and defensive strategies.
My goal this year at zones is to make playoffs and hopefully play our best volleyball of the season and upset one
of the top teams (Springbank, Bert Church or Brooks) and
make a run for a medal at zones, said Moncks.

Spartans net home tourney win

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The Strathmore High School Spartan boys captured the title during their annual volleyball tournament, rolling through the competition undefeated.
The Spartans faced off with the Eagle Butte
High School Talons in the championship game
and downed them in three sets, 2-1 (25-19, 16-25,
15-11).
It was exciting for the guys to experience this
level of success at home, said Spartans head
coach Cole Hintz. It was a really competitive
draw this year, so going undefeated was a really
good result for us and a great confidence boost
heading into zones.
The Spartans slipped by the Senator Gershaw
School Gators in the semis 2-0 (25-18, 25-18).
We really started to stabilize our passing,
which allowed us to get some good match ups
attacking out of the middle, said Hintz. We also
started to improve our intensity and grittiness on
defense. Weve been struggling with how we deal
with frustration all year, so this weekend was a
big step forward in how we move on mentally and
put ourselves in a position to play free.

The Spartans barreled through the round robin
with wins over Canmore Collegiate High School
Crusaders 2-1 (25-15, 21-25, 16-14), Three Hills
Royals 2-1 (23-25, 25-14, 15-7) and the Talons 2-0
(27-26, 25-19).
Next up for the boys will be the zone tournament Nov. 18 and 19 in Brooks.
SPARTAN GIRLS COME UP SHORT
The Spartans girls couldnt capture the magic of
playing a tournament on home court. The Medicine Hat High School Mohawks swept the Spartans in straight sets during the quarterfinals.
We have a tendency to get off to a slow start
giving our opponents a three-to-seven point head
start before we settle our nerves and find the self
confidence to compete with the top teams, said
Spartans head coach Randy Moncks.
The Spartans finished the round robin second
in their pool with wins over the Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks 2-1 (21-25, 25-17, 15-5), Crescent
Height High School Vikings 2-1 (16-25, 26-24, 1510) and Highwood High School Mustangs 2-0 (2516, 25-11).
If we can control those unforced errors more
Spartans selected to all-star squads

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The Strathmore High School Spartans football team got an injection of
positive news as they prepare for their
quarterfinal provincial matchup.
Seven players were named to the
Rangeland Football Conference allstar team and their coach was named
coach of the year.
Its a pretty cool award, but really,
it says more about our players, said
Spartans head coach Travis Gorski.
It shows how much these kids have
grown and developed. As coaches, we
correct them and give them advice;
they took the criticism and played to
the best of their abilities.
Presenting the trophy to Gorski was
his former coach Quinn Skelton, who
now coaches the Medicine Hat High
School Mohawks.
He was influential to me and it was
nice to see him recognize the growth
of this program over the past three
years, said Gorski, who played under
Skelton from 2003-05.
Senior quarterback Isaac Wegner
turned in a fabulous season for the
Spartans and just missed out on the
Most Valuable Player award by one
vote, losing to Crescent Heights High
School Vikings slotback Adrian Glauser. But for his efforts, Wegner was
named to the RFL all-star team along
with six of his teammates.
Joining Wegner were fellow seniors Garrett Gatto (defensive tackle)
and Isaiah Simwamu (wide receiver).
Middle linebacker Aubrey Laveck, offensive tackle Garrett Kopp, halfback
Mason Phillips and defensive end/halfback Chris Rebeyka were also named
to the all-star team.
Meanwhile, the Spartans are back at work in what appears to be a very difficult opening round match to provincials.
They take on number one seed Cochrane High School
Cobras (7-0) Nov. 12 in Cochrane.
We had a light week of practices last week and we plan
on cranking it up this week as we put together a game
plan, said Gorski. Cochrane has had a strong program for
a long time and we are expecting a good game.

LIFE
... and Death: Lets face it, we all
face it. It is often asked how a
good God allows something so
painful as death? My sister and I
were standing beside our mothers
48 year old lifeless body, when a
Catholic priest happened to be
doing the rounds in that Cape Town
hospital. I shall never forget his lifechanging words. He said Jesus was
standing there crying with us and
that death was the enemy He had
come to overthrow. Those words
changed my heart from accusing
God, to searching for Him in my
time of need. When Jesus learned
that Lazarus, his friend had passed
away, the Bible says in John 11:35
Jesus wept. (May I add He later
raised Lazarus from the grave.)
Peoples fascination around the
theme of death (Halloween being a
prime time for this with R.I.P. signs
on lawns) may be a reflection of the
difficulty we have with the honest
confrontation of facing it. Death
does not seem fair - because God
never made us for it. The Bible
assures us God is the author of
life, not death. He made us for
Himself - to commune with Him for
all eternity. In our fallen state, God
reached out to mankind in mercy
by making a way back into rightstanding with Himself, a Holy God.

His Son, Jesus, paid with His life

for us. Anyone who will, has a free
gift to receive in Christ: Eternity to
spend with God in heaven.
Jesus died and after three days
raised again - he overcame
death - and was seen by over 500
witnesses. This was the first fruits
of resurrection. Matthew 27 records
that at the time of Jesus death, the
earth quaked, and the rocks were
split and the graves were opened;
and many bodies of the saints who
had fallen asleep were raised ... and
appeared to many. Our hope lies in
this, that we will rise again. Paul,
the author of many books in the new
testament, describes resurrection
by drawing a parallel picture to
gardening: When we plant a seed,
it dies or breaks open in the ground,
to produce a flourishing plant. What
we plant is far inferior to what
grows. Each seed producing its own
form: flowers, bushes, trees. The
variety is stunning. This image of
planting a dead seed and raising a
live plant is a mere sketch at best.
It reflects how physical mortality
is raised up in spiritual immortality.
Although we have earthy origins,
lets embrace our heavenly ends.
Death swallowed by triumphant
Life!

Where did last

years Bisons
end up?
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

While last years playoffs might not
have ended the way many of the CFR
Chemicals Bisons players would have
liked, several of the graduating class
have moved on and are experiencing
success at the junior level.
The goaltending tandem that split
time between the pipes last year have
conditioned their puck stopping ways
this past month.
Ryan Simpson was recently named
Heritage Junior Hockey League goaltender of the month for the Cochrane Generals in October.
It feels really good. Ive got great
teammates in front of me that have
made my job a lot easier, said Simpson.
Sitting 9-0, he is the only unbeaten
goalie with a 0.916 save percentage and
owns the third best goals-against average, 2.29 for the first place Generals (162).
He attended a few Junior A camps; he
was a little unfortunate that he didnt get
a better look, but we were lucky enough
to have him come here and push our
other veteran in net, said Generals first
year head coach Dan Gendur.
The Airdrie product credits the Bisons
for working on stabilizing his mind during the game, not getting too high or too
low, for his early success.
Im adjusting really well here. They
welcomed me with open arms and its
a good fit. Hopefully this is a stepping
stone towards a more consistent game,
said Simpson.
Last year, Simpson went 9-5-1 with a
0.917 GAA and 2.28 save percentage for
the Herd.
Sharing the crease with him last year
was Hunter Virostek, who has now landed with the Drumheller Dragons of the
Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL).
After 11 appearances, Virostek sits 6-5
with a lovely 3.00 GAA and a 0.899 save
percentage. He went 10-6-3 with a 2.37
GAA and 0.921 save percentage last season.
Last seasons captain for the Bisons,
Kyle Gordon, has also landed on his feet
in the AJHL. In 19 games he has racked
up three goals and 12 points for the
Okotoks Oilers.
Staying in the AJHL, Zach Cox is off
to a good start with the Drayton Valley
Thunder. In 18 games, the left defenseman has three goals and a pair of assists.
Liam Izyk, now playing for the Fort
McMurray Oil Barons of the AJHL,
has three goals and eight points in 19
games. He scored the overtime winner
against the Grand Prairie Storm Nov. 3
at the Casman Centre. Tanner Foster has
yet to register a point in 16 games for
the Whitecourt Wolverines.
The 12-5-1-0 Medicine Hat Tigers are
off to a great start in the Western Hockey League and are just sitting on the outside of the Top 10. Airdrie product and
centreman Gary Haden has one goal in
eight games.
Forward Matt Davies sits second in
Kimberley Dynamiters (Kootenay International Junior Hockey League) rookie
scoring with seven goals and 11 points
in 12 games.
Defensemen Cooper Krauss has a pair
of assists in 16 games for the Columbia
Valley Rockies, Matt Halkovic has a goal
in 16 games for the Sicamous Eagles
and Liam Rycroft has recorded one assist in eight games for the Creston Valley
Thunder Cats.

Gwendolyn Bernice
(nee Southall)
Nov 06, 1925 Nov 06, 2016
Gwen passed peacefully on her
91st birthday with her family by her
side. She is survived by her son Ken
(Darlene) grandchildren Kyle (Katherine) and Kathleen, and two great
grandchildren, Karina and Kaden; her daughter Dianne Hallstrom (Don), adopted granddaughter Patricia, great grandchildren Danielle, Dillan and Brady
Notte; her nephews Jesse Vary and Jim Dewar and
her niece Colleen McCall. Gwen was predeceased
by her father, Albert Southall, mother, Ellen Southall
(Seeley) stepfather Bill Seeley, infant brother Sonny
and her loving husband Doug. Born in Sylvan Lake,
Gwen spent much of her childhood in rural Alberta as
her father operated grain elevators. The family lived
in Sylvan Lake, Conrich, Ardenode and Standard and
other small Alberta towns. Gwen was always full of
fun liked to sing and tap dance. Together with her
lifelong friend Betty Jo, they entered many talent
shows in Standard and surrounding towns. She loved
music and was often found playing records of the
old crooners all times of the day. During the Second
World War Gwen joined the Canadian Armed Forces
and worked as a switchboard operator. After the war
she continued to work for the military based out of
Suffield, where she met Doug. Gwen and Doug were
married Nov 06, 1948, Doug continued with a career
in the military and they lived in various cities across
Canada. Their son Ken was born in Medicine Hat
and their daughter Dianne in Lachute, Quebec. Doug
retired from the military in 1973 and they settled at
Lake MacDonald, Quebec by his parents farm. In the
early eighties they moved to Gwens home ground of
Strathmore to be near her mom Ellen, Ken, Dianne
and their families. From Strathmore Gwen and Doug
enjoyed wintering in Yuma, AZ for many years. Everyone who met Gwen will fondly remember her fun
loving nature, and somewhat feisty personality, which
remained until the end. A memorial service will be
held on Monday, November 14, 2016 at Lord of All
Lutheran Church at 11:00 a.m. with Rev. Bryan Beveridge of St. Michaels Anglican Church officiating.
In lieu of flowers donation may be made in Gwens
name to the Veterans Foodbank (#210, 1235 17
ave. SW, Calgary, T2T 0C2) or online at www.canadianlegacy.org. The family extends their thanks to the
wonderful nurses and staff at the Strathmore Hospital
and Peter Lougheed Centre.
