Wheatland County Christmas Hamper Society was
brought into the 20th century with social media and
various communication tools, the openhanded organi-
zation is perplexed with donations and hamper appli-
cations that took a nosedive in comparison to previous
years.
A large majority of tables and shelves remain bare,
covered with only 10,000 items a 30 per cent decline
over last year at this time.
While donations are expected to climb closer to
the Dec. 15 deadline, a growing concern of fracturing
among the community is spreading some doubt about
the accumulation of this years target and last years
final count of 33,000 items.
I know that all the groups are feeling some effect
this year, theres something going on that isnt real ob-
vious, said Craig Stone, chairperson for the Strathmore
and Wheatland County Christmas Hamper Society.
There is a tremendous amount of outside com-
munity projects, thats one thing. But theres a lot of
in-our-community projects that are also going on too.
Its commendable to everybody doing something, but
the problem with dividing and everybody doing their
own individual projects is you get to the point where
you really fear that youre going to fracture, and you
will fracture.
The whole system and the people that are really
needing the help are not going to get the proper help,
because youve fractured it in so many directions that
nobody is going to benefit.
Expecting a large turnout last year, the society pre-
pared 260 hampers. Although applications remain low
at 105 as of last week, Stone expected to receive over
100 more applications this week. In speaking with the
Wheatland County Food Bank, he believes their non-
stop demand is more of a realistic indication of the
need thats going to befall the society this year.
The society theorized that perhaps the reason last
years numbers didnt meet their expectations is be-
cause families are feeling the pinch this year and are
less likely able to afford donating items and money,
and are rather keeping it for themselves.
Other organizations in Strathmore have also noticed
a slowdown in donations.
The recently created Adopt a Family initiative is sim-
ilar in concept, but director of outreach Richard Rodg-
ers said the cause was not meant to step on the toes of
other organizations. Furthermore, he noted the families

thief but long-time volunteer
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Shortly after a community outcry over what appeared - on
security tape footage - to be a robbery of a local toy-drive
donation bin, a linchpin volunteer with the Strathmore and
Wheatland County Christmas Hamper Society realized his
mistake, walked back into Tinas No Frills to apologize, and
the situation is now being alluded to as an innocuous mis-
understanding.
The seasoned volunteer, who will remain unnamed to pro-
tect his privacy, was sent to collect items from the societys
collection bins scattered at roughly 30 different locations
around town on Nov. 24. When he walked into local grocery
store, Tinas No Frills, at 11 a.m. the volunteer emptied out
the wrong bin in error that of the newly launched Adopt a
Family initiative.
He never gave it a second thought, until reports about the
incident appeared online, in local media, and threats were
made about taking the camera footage to the RCMP.
The gentleman that made the mistake is already abso-
lutely distraught, and weve made apologies and retributions
back to them, said Craig Stone, Strathmore and Wheatland
County Christmas Hamper Society chairperson.
He made an assumption that all this stuff went to the
Christmas Hamper Society, got a big cart, loaded all the stuff
up, and nobody questioned him. I think it may have gotten
blown out of the water a bit, but the community needs to
know that we dont have a big thief in our town.
After discussions with members of the Adopt a Family ini-
tiative a collaboration between the Strathmore Overnight
Shelter (SOS), Scotiabank, and Tinas No Frills the toys will
remain with the society, but the organization is replacing the
items by providing the cause with nearly $700 worth of food.
Adopt a Family is a new initiative that aims to sponsor at
least four families who are struggling to make ends meet this
holiday season.
He did come forward, it was an honest mistake and he
felt terrible, said Elizabeth Karp, executive director of SOS.
The (toys) have been offered back to us, but at this point,
because we have the fundraiser going, we just thought they
get distributed to needy families no matter what. Its really
important that there is no blame or any shadow that falls on
the Christmas hamper society. Theyve been doing an excel-
lent job for so many years. We thank them for all their hard
work and efforts that they do and we just want to ensure the
public that all the toys will go to needy kids.
FULL STEAM AHEAD
Yet the initiative still remains short on meeting their quota
of a minimum 30 new toys, to provide 12 children with at
least two toys this Christmas. With an upcoming deadline
of Dec. 11, the partners were approached by a local cou-
ple, Mike Cope and Amanda Perkins, who thought to do-
nate sleigh rides around Kinsmen Park in exchange for a toy
as payment. Having been in a situation in which Christmas
became a financial burden in the past, the family wanted
to give back to the community and help out other families
struggling financially. While there has been a spike in dona-
tions over the past week, collections have only reached the
halfway mark.
They seem to be coming in pretty steadily, so I think the
community is stepping up, said Richard Rodgers, director of
Outreach for SOS.
People realize that they can make a difference, and for the
last two days Ive seen an increase in the bin.
Toys for Hay Rides will take place in Kinsmen Park on Dec.
9 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Although the altruistic campaign is widely recognized in www.c21.ca/101106017

Alberta, Strathmores pilot project is the brainchild of Family
and Community Support Services (FCSS) employee Tammi
Sieben.
The idea bore fruit shortly after a coldfront in November
blanketed the town in snow, which subsequently resulted
in an influx of phone calls from members of the community
unable to clear their sidewalks and walkways as mandated
by the towns Community Standards Bylaw for snow removal.
The towns scarcity in resources to accommodate the re-
quests in turn sparked the hurried creation of the volunteer-
based program in Strathmore.
Its kind of a work in progress and well learn as we go
what we can do differently next year, said Sieben.
We need to get something going, because we didnt have
any other means for snow removal for private areas. We had
a lot of residents calling us that couldnt do it, and there was
nothing we could do for them because we didnt have the
resources to do residential snow removal.
Sieben lobbied for the program this week by visiting local
businesses with information outlining the programs intent
and structure. Those unable to clear their pathways and side-
walks of snow and ice, due to limited mobility, will receive a
window sign signalling the need for snow removal assistance
to volunteers.
While volunteers are not expected to contact the town
rather the program takes on a see-and-do approach Sieben
encourages homeowners to nominate the individuals to the
town, in order to receive a certificate and prize at the end of
the season.
Still in its infancy, the program was fast-tracked in anticipa-
tion of colder temperatures in the near future.
This is one way were hoping to get the community en-
gaged and helping one another out and to entice volunteers
anybody who sees a sign can go and do it, she said.

time in the making, which is why its still kind of a work in
progress. This year is going to be a learning curve for us as
we do the program, and maybe well learn to do things dif-
ferently or better in coming years.
Terry Grant Denturist
The Community Standards Bylaw for snow removal states 403.934.3877
that the owner or occupant of a private parcel of land adja-
cent to a sidewalk or pathway, shall remove ice and snow so Complete / Partial Dentures
that the sidewalk or pathway is cleared to the bare surface
within 48 hours after the ice or snow has been deposited. Same Day Relines & Repair
Although the program aims to lessen the burden on those Custom Mouthguards
residents physically unable to conform to the bylaw, the pro-
gram relies on the goodwill of volunteers and in the end the Custom Night Guards
onus on ensuring the snow is removed within 48 hours still Natural Teeth Whitening
lands on the homeowner. Simply placing a Snow Angel sign
on the property wont guarantee snow removal.
Sieben plans on also approaching schools, where students
may be in need of volunteer hours to graduate.
Signs will be displayed until mid April. Residents wanting
a Snow Angel sign can contact FCSS at 403-934-9090. A nom-
ination form can be submitted electronically via e-mail or
dropped off physically to the town office. The form and fur-
ther information can be found on the towns website (www.

In its 15th year, this years production boasts
47 singers and 18 orchestra members. Having
grown substantially since its humble start in
2002, the performance will include five narrators
as well as sound and light personnel, and took
many volunteers to bring it all together.
Its a wonderful group this year, said Marvin
Gill, musical conductor of the group. Each year
the music is different and Im never sure how it
will progress until we get into it. This years mu-
sic is especially fun, having a predominantly Celt-
ic style which people generally love. The work
also contains many favourite carols and familiar

I will advise the public of what positions will be held by whom as soon as it has been determined.

I was appalled about an incident that took place at our Remembrance Day Ceremony. One of our
Veterans was wearing a medal, pinned on by his dear, since departed wife, which he proudly wore
for his stint in Vietnam. Someone went up to our Veteran and tore the medal off of his jacket, stating
it had no place in Canada! He then left, with the medal. Comrades, nobody has the right to do this
to anyone!! A Veteran is a Veteran, whether or not you agree with the war he fought in! To my way
of thinking, there is no war that has ever been popular, not Korea, not Vietnam, not World War II nor
World War I! Yet, our men and women fought for us regardless of where and when! They received
medals for what they did, for their bravery and sacrifice, and have every right to wear them proudly
on their uniforms! For someone to walk over to rip a medal from their jackets, simply because he
did not agree with the war, a medal earned for their service, is unforgiveable!! This is not our deci-
sion to make, ever! I dont know if the medal was, heaven forbid, thrown away or not. If it wasnt, I
would expect that it be brought to the Legion, with or without a letter of apology, no questions asked.
We will then have the honour of returning it to our deserving Veteran and make his Christmas a little
happier. After doing the wrong thing, please make it right. Thank you!

MLA reaches out to provide hope
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Strathmore-Brooks MLA Derek Fildebrandt has
been spending a lot of time on the phone, shak-
ing hands, and listening to constituents concerns
over the last month, reconnecting with voters and
attempting to restore hope regarding economic
and political angst.
The 31-year-old Independent politician is mak-
ing good on the promise he made when he re-
signed from the United Conservative Party (UCP)
caucus in August. Fildebrandt announced he
would take time to focus on family and the con-
stituents of his Strathmore-Brooks riding, and has
since dedicated much of his time to local out-
reach efforts.
Over the past month, Fildebrandt hosted nu-
merous meet-and-greets and town hall meetings
in the various hamlets, villages and towns within
the constituency. Beyond that, hes personally
phoned thousands of residents an undertaking
he claimed is his duty as the Strathmore-Brooks
representative.
Ive always believed in regular face-to-face with
the constituents as often as possible (and) over
the last month Ive made about 3,000 phone calls
directly to the constituency to hear from people
who arent necessarily going to reach out to me,
Fildebrandt said.
Liberals finally listening to Canadians
MARTIN SHIELDS
Member of Parliament Bow River Riding
After months of stubbornly refusing to listen to
Canadians concerns, it appears the government
has finally yielded to public pressure and made
changes to some of their legislation.
Everyone who took time out of their busy sched-
ules to write letters, make phones calls, and sign
petitions made a real difference. The Liberals may
not listen to us Conservatives, but if enough peo-
ple speak up, they have no choice but to listen to
the Canadian public this is democracy in action.
First, the Liberals have accepted a Conservative
amendment to Bill C-51. This Bill would have com-
pletely removed explicit protections for religious
officials from the criminal code our amendment
keeps the existing law in place. Many religious
communities, including those in Bow River, were
very concerned about the impact that removing
these protections would have.
The government has also announced they will
be keeping the grain tickets system in place. As
you may know, grain tickets are an important tool
farmers use to deal with year-to-year variability
in income. After threatening to eliminate them in
Budget 2017, the government finally backed off
after hearing from farmers what a bad idea elimi-
nating the tickets is a big win for farmers.

prise. I understand that when you work for your
constituents, they are your boss and its totally
natural to check in with them as often as you
can.
Residents have expressed concerns about the
reality of a swift economic recover, and restoring
wages and salaries to their pre-recession state, a
recurring theme across the riding.
While Fildebrandt noticed a loss of hope among
his constituents recently, his supporters are push-
ing for the United Conservative Party (UCP) and
the MLA to continue holding the NDP govern-
ment accountable, as the official opposition.
In the opposition you cant do a lot directly,
but I tell people to just hang on, the next elec-
tion is in spring 2019 and were doing everything
we possibly can to make sure Alberta has a new
government, Fildebrandt said.
Its still a long road ahead but you have to
hang in there. I heard from people, they are pret-
ty desperate for us to get back to work and get
rid of the NDP, but we still have a lot of work to
do, and in the meantime focusing on local issues.
Fildebrandt will continue hosting town-hall
meetings over the coming weeks and will be
hosting a Christmas open house to provide an-
other opportunity for constituents to meet per-
sonally with their MLA.
Conservatives were strongly opposed to elimi-
nating the grain ticket system and to stripping reli-
gious officials of their explicit protections from in-
terference and harassment. We continually urged
the Liberals to cancel these ill-advised changes.
However, it is you the Canadian public that
deserves credit for forcing the government to
change their plans.
Unfortunately, we have another big debate ahead
of us that has yet to be won. The Liberals say they
are making changes to their proposed tax chang-
es, but some of the worst elements of their plan
are still in place. They still intend to implement a
reasonableness test on income sprinkling, which
is going to be a bureaucratic nightmare. They are
still intending to tax passive income, which could
be very bad news for many small businesses and
farms.
We dont know what the Liberals final proposal
will look like yet, but you can be sure they are still
looking to hike taxes on Canadians to pay for their
massive deficit spending.
I extend my sincerest thanks to everyone who
participated in urging the government to change
course. Your activism is holding this government
to account. Lets keep up the good fight and con-
tinue opposing these proposed Liberal tax hikes
on farmers and small businesses.
This is another big win.

Province-wide nutrition program funding

benefits local school
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
One of Strathmores elementary
schools is reaping the benefits of the
Alberta governments pilot program
that is funding nutrition programs at
schools across the province.
Last year the province dished out
$3.5 million in funding to introduce the
nutrition pilot project for the 2016-2017
school year in 33 schools. While none of
the schools in the Golden Hills School
Division no. 75 were participants last
year, the school board received approx-
imately $140,000 used to implement
the program at the Wheatland Crossing
School for the current school year.
The expansion was made possible
due to a project budget hike of $10 mil-
lion.
One of the really good things about
the program is that it provides a nutri-
tion program that reaches all kids and
as a result we are not missing those
even though it seems the economy is
coming back a little bit we have not
seen those needs go down significantly
yet.
According to the provincial govern-
ment, students have shown to have in-
creased energy and have shown to be
able to focus better in class.
To date over 5,000 students have
been affected by the program, and the
14 school boards that initially partici-
pated in the pilot project each received
a $250,000 grant for this school year.
The other 48 school boards, includ-
ing the local school boards, received a
cheque of $141,000.
This program has been overwhelm-
ingly positive in the communities
where its already been introduced, and
the results are quite impressive, said
Minister of Education David Eggen in a
press release.
Weve seen improved student atten-
dance, a decrease in negative behaviour
and an increased sense of healthy food

Children and Youth. In addition, each
participant is required to include a nu- 9th Annual
trition education component in their
program.
While Golden Hills School Division
fosters relationships with community
partners surrounding nutrition in their
other schools, theres not enough wig-
gle room in the local budget to allocate
to the cause, rendering this pilot project
very appealing.
This is a very interesting pilot pro-
gram to explore and to see how it im-

Hestia Properties was completing the structural building part of Sagecourt on Nov. 22 by lifting and
installing the final trusses onto the roof. The structural erection of the building took only three days to
complete, thanks to the different modules being pre-fabricated before arriving on site to be assembled
with a crane. Golden Triangle roofer, Ryan Sutherland instructed the crane operator to safely place the
first large truss onto the roof.
New approach provides
quick affordable housing
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
A known-to-Strathmore design-build
company is changing its tune and ex-
perimenting with a quicker and more
efficient technique to build lower-
priced apartment units within the town,
therefore expanding its local footprint
and completing the project in under
two months.
While the process itself is nothing
new, the Hestia Group chose Strathmore
over its primary locations in Calgary, to
try its hand at modular construction a
process where a building is constructed
off-site in a controlled plant, using the
same materials as conventional builds
and still adhering to the same codes
and standards, but over a much shorter
timeframe.
The company put shovels in the
ground in the middle of October to
pour the foundation, and is expecting
to be move-in ready by the first week
of January.
Due to the design, where buildings
are produced in modules 18 mod-
ules in the case of this 12-unit apart-
ment complex in Sagecourt the Hestia
Group was able to secure the pieces on
top of the foundation within three days.
As all 18 modules took an estimated six
to eight weeks to construct in the facil-
ity, the company noticed a quicker turn-
around than building on-site.
Generally each module requires two
weeks to complete from start to finish,
including a finished kitchen, trims, cas-
ings, doors, flooring and paint.
Hestia is always looking for innova-
tive ways to build, grow and look at
new products, methods and new theo-
ries, said Ivan Busic, site supervisor for
Hestia Construction.
The design is something completely
different from what weve done be-
fore and for a project like this it works.
These modules come out on site, they
get lifted onto the foundation by a crane
and we basically had our building up
and 95 per cent complete in three days.
Thats not including the foundation it-
self.
The design-build company is no
stranger to Strathmore. Much of Hestia
Groups portfolio is comprised of devel-
oping senior care facilities for AgeCare,
and in Strathmore constructed Sage-
wood Villas and Sagewood Estates.
The company currently offers 42 af-
fordable homes at Sagecourt for those
families and individuals that fall slight-
ly above the low-to-moderate income
bracket. The price of a one bedroom

wood.
In the economic times that were in,
43 Spruce Park Drive, Strathmore
this is a way to say you dont need to
qualify, and this rate its just above what admin@brotech.ca brotech.ca
we market our affordable housing for.
We wanted to bring something to mar-
ket really quickly, and we wanted to
serve those individuals that are looking
for something thats high quality but
still attainable and within their budget.
The current complex offers rates of
$910 for a one bedroom and $1,015 for
a two bedroom.
Ideally the project was expected to
be completed within four weeks. Re-
alistically due to some unforeseeable
weather delays the company is now
looking at a timeline of 45 days.
The project also sparked some ex-
citement among town staff, where the
location, quick timeline, and design all
ticked the right boxes.
Its very positive and we love it, said
Chuck Procter, planner with the Town
of Strathmore.
We are always excited to offer more
affordable housing and the biggest
thing about this one is location. Their
side benefited from having the modu-
lar design and the town benefited from
having a complete application package
with complete drawings. We were able
to give a quick turnaround on that one.
The building is located just off of
Thomas Drive, is near Brent Blvd., the
schools, hospital, pathways and the
downtown.
According to Busic, developing in
Strathmore also had its perks for the
company.
Its a nice change from dealing with
people in Calgary, he said. The re-
sponse times here in Strathmore seem
to be a lot quicker. Its great. Especially
for somebody like me whos on site and
waiting on these answers, who needs
things done. Everybody has been great
with us.
The project has placed the units on
the foundation but still has to add the
roof, shingles, siding, balconies and
stairs. The units are expected to be
move-in ready in early 2018.

County coat program

back in full swing Strathmore Lions Club
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor

With the start of December and anticipated

colder temperatures on the horizon, the Wheat-
land Family and Community Support Services
(WFCSS) has brought back its winter coat pro-
gram, County Coats, and while interest has re-
mained steady the organization is hoping to reach
more people in the rural areas.
Four years ago, WFCSS launched the coat pro-
gram, which at the time consisted of staff mem-
bers taking the items to various locations in the
countys villages and hamlets. Last year, however,
the organization spent half the season visiting
communities and the other half setting up shop
at the Wheatland County Municipal Operations
Centre. As a result, they received more traffic and
greater interest in the program, spurring the pro-
gram to stay put at the office, located just 10 km
east of Strathmore.
WFCSS Program Coordinator Lynn Walker
hopes to see more residents make use of the free
service.
Were really putting the push out there for
people not to wait until its bitter cold, but to
come in and do it now when its nice and they
can travel, she said.
We are getting people coming in basically on

a daily basis. I want our residents to know that
these are here. If they are unemployed or on a Strathmore Civic Center
fixed income, come grab a coat. Theres lots of
them that still have tags on them. Deck yourself
out. December 10, 2017
Items include various styles from baby snow- 2-4 pm
suits, to childrens clothing, to mens and wom-
ens coats. While most items were donated, some
individuals in the hamlets also got together and Tea, coffee, Live music by
knitted toques, mittens and boxes of scarves. cookies, and the Crowther Jazz Band
The program started at the beginning of No- and the Crowther grade 9 band
vember and allows residents to either donate an Christmas fun!
item, make a trade, or grab items for free. A visit from Santa and Mrs.Claus

SPORTS
Hawks
host home
tourney
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The Hawks senior girl basketball team tipped off their new
season inside the friendly confines of the Holy Cross Colle-
giate gym.
A pair of former coworkers have teamed up behind the
bench of the Hawks this season. Joe Lapage has returned to
the coaching chair after leaving Holy Cross Collegiate as their
principal nine years ago. Back in the day, he used to coach
the senior girls program. He was also responsible for hiring
the senior boys coach at the time.
I hired Michelle to teach a long time ago. So it was kind
of funny and a role-reversal type of way that she asked me to
come help out and coach this season, said Lapage. For me,
its all about the relationships you build with the team and we
have some great girls on the team this year.
Last years head coach, Brad Everett, is helping out the ju-
nior varsity boys program this year. Also gone from last years
squad is Yulisa Solda, Alexandra Eygenraam, Cassidy Filipi-
onek and floor general Darcie Weir.
Weir was the catalyst for the offence last year. With her
strong rugby background, she took the ball up the floor and
barreled toward the hoop through a maze of bodies.
This year, the ball handling duties have appeared to be
shifted over to now senior point guard Destiny Stevens and
Grade 11 small forward Hope Given.
Given led the way for the Hawks Dec. 2 in the tourney fina-
le with 17 points, as the Hawks downed the Hugh Sutherland
School Kodiaks 49-34.
Last years offence was a gun fest. Anybody with open space
had no conscience at all in hoisting up 3s, contested or not.
In the Hawks 15-point win, the Hawks only attempted one
3-pointer and it came at the end of the third quarter.
Our team this year has some awesome players in the low
post. We are going to be driving to the lane, getting position
on defenders and trying to get them the ball. We like the
percentages of the ball going in better than the percentages
of shots from outside going in, said Lapage. Were going to
shoot, too, but if we can get the ball down low, then thats
where we will go to work.
Like most starts to a sports season, it took some time for the
Hawks to shake off the rust.
They dropped their opening match 75-30 against the Bas-
sano School. Given recorded six points with Stevens behind
her with four points.
In their second game, the Rosemary Rockets dumped the
Hawks 62-17. Grade 12 student Taryn Tanton led the way for
Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks point guard Destiny Stevens (left photo) tried to get around a Hugh Sutherland High School Kodiaks
defender. Hawks forward Hope Given (right photo) finished strong while getting fouled Dec. 2 during their home tournament.
the Hawks with six points.
I really liked how positive the girls were all
weekend, said Lapage. They never got down on
themselves, they just kept trying and we pulled out
a win in the end. We got better every game, made
better passes and found the open man. It was a
good start.
Similar to last year, the Hawks will return to the
Foothills Athletic Council for their league games,
but will compete in the junior varsity division.
However, when they take off for tournament play
in the New Year, they will battle in senior-level
tourneys, as they prep for the South Central Zone
tournament in March.
The senior boys team has the same coach as last
season, Josh Jalbert, but is still one week away
from playing in any meaningful games.
The Hawks began practising in the final week of
November with their new team.
Graduating from last years program was Kyle Ge-
rencer, Jericho Ricafort and Luke Sproul, but also
missing from this years team are a pair of Grade
11s in Reid Jensen and Cordel Steadman.
Jensen was a guard last year and typically ended
Tyler Lowey Photos
up with the most shots attempted, while Steadman
was a young centre who was developing into a
good rebounder.
This season, the offence is sure to run through
the Grade 10 Athlete of the Year last year, Alex
Nwoye.
The springy guard showed the ability to score
from anywhere on the floor last season, and will
be joined by Grade 12 students Turner Dirk and
Landon Osachuk in leading a young, athletic team.
Im excited to see where our potential takes us
and to see how much we grow as a team. We have
a lot of guys who are fairly new to playing basket-
ball or havent played in a long time but are very
athletic. Its good that we have a bunch of practices
before games start so we can shake off any rust,
said Jalbert. From the early onset, it looks like we
have good team chemistry and a positive outlook
on the season.
The Hawks will be competing in the senior boys
division of the FAC and will host their own tourna-
ment Dec. 15 and 16, with one eye down the road
at the Zone tournament, which will take place at St.
Josephs Collegiate in Brooks.

UNDERSTAND YOURSELF
It is said that If you dont know
who you are, you will waste what
you have This is a valid statement
because if you dont know yourself,
there is possibility of wasting what
you have. Also, if you dont know
who you are, you will live for peoples
opinions about you.
However, knowledge of self is crucial
to living a fulfilling life. That is, it is
crucial for your fulfilment on earth. It
prevents one from beating about or
wandering aimlessly in the business
of life. Above all, it makes life easy
and worth enjoying.
To start with, what do I mean
by knowing yourself? It means
understanding the real you; It means
to understand your main potentials
or what makes you different from
others; It means understanding
your area of dynamism; It means
understanding your strength,
weakness and temperament.
Ideally, a sound knowledge of self
must inform choice of friends or
associations, career, choice of
marriage partner and several others.
Except you know yourself, you
will waste yourself and will abuse
yourself. When John the Baptist was
asked whether he was the expected
Messiah or not, his response
put period to all insinuations and
confusions because it came from a
sense of purpose. (John 1:23)
You might be wandering how this
can be possible. Just look inward,

But after the local double-A
peewee team swept a week-
end series with the Cranbrook
BP Wings, Klemmensen was
speechless and sprightly.
Its always good to win, but it
was really good to see our prog-
ress that we have made over the
past two weeks; the improve-
ment in the team game, our ef-
fort and unselfishness was really
something to see over the past
two games, said Klemmensen.
The Braves (12-6-0) had fall-
en on hard times in the South
Central Alberta Hockey League
lately. Following their six-game
winning streak in late October,
the team hit a mini three-game
slide in the middle of November.
Arriving as an early Christ-
mas present, the Braves enjoyed
a week off two weekends ago,
and it couldnt have come at a
better time.
These 11- and 12-year-old
kids were going solid for three
months. It was a heavy sched-
ule and they needed some time
off to be honest, said Klem-
mensen. The break worked out
pretty good for us.
Playing their first game since
Nov. 19, the Braves thrashed the
4-9-1 Wings 7-2 Dec. 1 at Hussar
Arena.
Conner Radke had himself a
strong weekend as he scored
twice and supplied one assist in
the series opener. Luc Trevors
netted one goal and two assists.
Wyatt Yule, Aden Miller, Kolten
Kuryk and Charles Goll sup-
plied one goal each.
The Braves followed that per-
formance up with a sound 6-1
victory the following afternoon
at the Strathmore Family Centre.
Radke led the way once again
with another two goal, one as-
sist performance. Nolan Bell
chipped in with one goal and
one assist, while Yule, Nash
Wassing and Goll registered one
goal each. Colton Gabe record-
ed a pair of assists.
The goaltending was also ex-
cellent this weekend, said Kl-
emmensen. Any time you get
goaltending like we did, you al-
ways have a chance to win.
In the first game of the series,
Connor White was solid stop-
ping 23 shots to push his record
to 7-2-0. Matthew Dovichak

CHIEFS SPLIT
The Wheatland Chiefs split a
pair of home games last week-
end.
Playing at Hussar Arena Dec.
2, the local double-A midget
team was clipped 2-1 by the
Medicine Hat Hounds (7-7-0).
All the scoring was done in the
second period, as Brady Skiff-
ington answered the Hounds
opening goal, with assists going
to Brian Butland and A.J. Kusu.
The deadlock didnt last long,
as Dax Wandler netted the win-
ner just after the midway mark
on the power play.
Ethan Rycroft made 28 saves
in the loss.
Returning to the Strathmore
Family Centre the following
afternoon, the Chiefs (9-6-2)
pulled out the 6-4 decision over
the Red Deer Elks (5-11-0).
Mitch Desserre and Jayden
Hendricks scored in the second
period, as the Chiefs closed out
the final frame with four goals.
Cole Berg supplied a pair, with
singles coming from Stran Red
Crow and Lucas Muenchrath.
Riley Stovka stopped 19 pucks
for his third win.
The Chiefs are all over the

WARRIORS GO TO
SEMIFINAL
The Wheatland Warriors took
a break from the SCAHL last
weekend for a tournament in
Lethbridge at the new ATB Cen-
tre.
The bantam tourney got off
to a great start, as the Warriors
thumped their SCAHL rival
Okotoks Oilers 4-1. Brandon
McGillvary and Brayden Ledrew
teamed up for the scoring.
The Warriors followed that up
with a 3-1 loss to the Calgary
Rangers, despite outshooting
them 16-12. Joel Romano netted
the lone goal.
In their final round robin
game, the Warriors earned the
rights to a semifinal game after
handling the Parkland Athletic
Club Timberwolves 6-4.
Domenic Ficaccio netted a
pair and Spencer Tower deflect-
ed in the winner. Other goals
came from Jarred Schrock, a
wrap-around from Ray Warrack
and a power play marker from
Philip Raycroft.
In the semis early in the morn-
ing Dec. 2, the Warriors were
downed in a barnburner, losing

Kings look to stick with the plan
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
As the Strathmore Wheatland Kings
losing streak hit five games, the mes-
sage post game remained relatively the
same: stick to the game plan and get
pucks on net.
Alternate captain Brenden Moore was
doing his part in getting pucks on net.
In one power play in the second peri-
od, Moore launched five shots towards
Blackfalds Wranglers netminder Lane
Brann, directing anything he could on
net, hoping to get a lucky bounce and
have one fall.
That wouldnt be the case.
During the Kings losing skid, the
third periods were painful, having been
outscored 9-1 over that stretch in the
final frame.
The Kings trailed 1-0 entering the fi-
nal frame Dec. 2 at the Strathmore Fam-
ily Centre, when they fell victim to an-
other third-period let down.
Fifty-one seconds into the final frame,
Moore got called for a slashing penalty,
sending the Heritage Junior Hockey
Leagues second-worst road power play
unit to work.
Shawn Rowe teed up a point shot
from Ryan Chambers and Dylan
Scheunert one minute into Moores mi-
nor, giving the Wranglers (13-6-0) the
lead for good.
Were getting a little frustrated on
the bench. The puck wont be going
our way, so we get frustrated and miss
our chances on the ice when we need
to be focused and bear down, said

game. The first two periods were sound,

Badgers hand out yearly awards

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Community Football Associa-
tion Badgers held their annual awards banquet as
a way for one final glimpse back at the successful
season that was.
There were no league championships won this
year, but plenty of outstanding individual perfor-
mances to recognize and honour.
The peewee Badgers made it the furthest of the
three programs, as they lost in the Central Peewee
Football League title to the Stettler Panthers in a
miserable winter snow storm.
They wouldnt have reached the league final
for the second-straight year if it wasnt for the
outstanding efforts by Brady Johansen, who was
named the peewee Most Valuable Player.
Johansen was a dominating running back, pro-
viding the power game up the middle to comple-
ment the shifty outside running of Austin McInnis.
He was also a force on the defensive side of the
ball, tackling ball carriers in the back field and
moving teams backwards.
Johansen was also named a CPWFL All Star and
was honoured for his three years of participation
at the peewee level.
Garrett Larrviee, Porter Zaugg, McInnis, Adam
Greenhill, Riley Shea and Jacob Robson were also
named to CPWFL All Stars.
Sticking with the peewee division, Jordan
Southern, Logan Van Sickle, Brooklynn Weal,
Jaydin Robson, Niles Grill, Isaiah Weibe, Bodey
Pettifer, Larrivee and Shea were named for the
Badger Award, an award recognizing players for
their leadership, proficiency, attitude and dedica-
tion towards the team. Joining Johansen, Larrivee,
Josh Potter, Zaugg, McInnis, Adam Greenhill and
Van Sickle were honoured for their three years of
service at the peewee level. Wrapping up the pee-
wee awards was Jack Barlund, who was named
Defensive Lineman of the Year; Zaugg won the
Offensive Lineman of the Year award, Greenhill was named
the Defensive Back of the Year, McInnis was named the Of-
fensive Back of the Year; the Most Improved award went to
Gage Robison and Aiden Barlund was the Rookie of the Year.
The roster overhaul that Head Coach Sean Seafoot had to
deal with was made easier by a rookie at the senior level.
Luke Henry graduated the bantam program last year and
excelled as a running back this season.
He had a huge impact as a running back. He is super-fast
and when he gets a block in 9-on-9 football, he took advan-
tage off all that running room. He is a physical back that has
a great understanding for the game, said Seafoot.
Henry also won the Rookie of the Year award and the top
Offensive Back award, along with being named a Mountain-
view Conference All Star.
Joining Henry on the All Star team was Zach Palardy, Aus-
tin Drummond, Brandon Middlemiss and Brayden DesRoche.
Winning the Badger Award at the senior level was Anthony
Timmons, Malikia Henry, Brandon Middlemiss, Owen Grill,
Nicolas Heaton, Delray Yellow Old Women and Angelina
Palardy. Timmons and Sam Ropson were honoured for their
three years of service at the senior level.

Former Bisons vying for Team Canada
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Two former standouts from their time with the
Foothills CFR Chemicals Bisons put their best foot
forward in hopes of making Team Canada West.
The top 60 Junior A players from the B.C.
Hockey League, Alberta Junior Hockey League,
Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, Manitoba
Junior Hockey League and Superior Internation-
al Junior Hockey League funneled to the Markin
MacPhail Centre at Canada Olympic Park Dec. 2-5
for four days of practices and games as part of the
selection camp.
The selection camp was in place to narrow
down the roster for Team Canada West to compete
at the 2017 World Junior A Challenge.
Highlighting the roster invitees were Blake Wells
and Hunter Virostek, who both spent a midget

Other senior awards went to Zach Palardy, who won the
Offensive and Defensive Lineman of the Year awards; Drum-
mond was named Defensive Back of the Year and Quentin
Frayn won the Most Improved award.
It was a difficult season for the bantam Bagders, who fin-
ished the regular season without a win. But that didnt mean
that there werent any great individual performances.
Cooper Nelson was named MVP, along with a Central Foot-
ball League All Star selection.
Jack Warrack was the other bantam player named to the All
Star team, as he also won the Top Offensive Lineman award.
Ty Stone, Sean Grill, Aiden Hopp, Adam Speidel, Brigham
Zaugg and Jordan Stewart won the Badger awards, while
only Ryker McKinnon was celebrated for three years at the
bantam level.
Wrapping up the bantam awards was Bennett Salmon, who
was named Defensive Lineman of the Year; Connor Carro-
bourg won the Top Defensive Back award, Riley Heysa was
named Offensive Back of the Year, Bowen Dale won the Most
Improved award and Brody Holladay was named the Rookie
of the Year.

AAA season in Strathmore.
Wells, 18, was a forward on last years final edi-
tion of the Bisons. In 31 games, he scored 13 goals
and 27 points. These days, Wells played for the
Okotoks Oilers of the AJHL, where he has five
goals and 12 points in 26 games.
Virostek, 19, suited up between the pipes for
the Bisons two seasons ago, where he went 10-
6-3 with a .921 save percentage and a 2.37 goals
against average. This season, Virostek is experi-
encing his best year at the junior level, as he cur-
rently sits 13-8-1 with a .904 save percentage and
a 2.61 goals against average for the Drumheller
Dragons of the AJHL.
Both are doing very well with their respected
teams this season and are very deserving to be
here. Its a great opportunity for both of their ca-
reers and they are both having a ton of fun, said
Team Canada Blue Assistant Coach Matt Keillor.
The selection camp split the 60 hopefuls into
three different teams; Red, White and Blue. The
camp began with practices going over game plans
and ended with modified scrimmages throughout
the weekend. Some games were played at five-on-
five, some games were played alternating between
power play and penalty kill time during 7:30-long
periods.
For both of them, it was their first taste of hock-
ey at the national level.
This is a big milestone for my hockey career.
Even though it is just the selection camp, it is still
very meaningful to put on the try-out jersey, said
Virostek.
Its been a big honour for me and my family to
compete here. Its something Ive dreamed about
growing up and getting the chance to make the
tournament team has been the highlight of my ca-
reer, said Wells.
The World Junior A Challenge might not cre-
ate the same type of buzz as other national junior
tournaments, having only been around since the
2006-07 season, but that doesnt mean there was
a shortage of eyeballs watching the teams skate
over the weekend.
This camp and tournament have produced cur-
rent NHL players such as Zach Hyman, Erik Karls-

also feature a Team Canada East, Russia, United

9th Annual
set for Dec. 16.
Through four days at the selection camp, both
former Bisons had been impressive.
The first thing you notice about Blake is his
big body. He likes to have the puck and is a hand-
ful on the fore-check. Hes a really good kid that
wants to learn and thats important in these short
camps, said Keillor, who coaches the Grande
Prairie Storm of the AJHL. Hunter is calm and col-
lected in net and doesnt let the noise bother him.
He has tons of great energy and any team would
be thrilled to have him.
The two former Bisons might be rising pros-
pects in the national program, but they certainly
havent forgotten where they came from.
Strathmore was a top-tier program last year
and had a winning culture. I think being in that

Crowther hosts Hockey for Hunger game
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Crowther Memorial Junior High School dropped the puck
on a two-week long food drive for the Strathmore and Wheat-
land County Christmas Hamper Society.
The fifth annual Hockey for Hunger game took place Dec.
1 at the Strathmore Family Centre as a way to kick off a two-
week food drive that ends Dec. 15.
The CMJHS hockey program displayed an intrasquad game
in front of the biggest crowd to flood to the Family Centre
since Game 3 of last years Alberta Midget Hockey League
final.
The entire school, Grades 7, 8 and 9, jammed into the
bleachers to watch the Grade 9 players from the hockey pro-
gram hold an exhibition match. The game consisted of three
15-minute periods with enough kids on each team to form
two lines.
Its a great way to showcase the hockey program for the
entire school and parents of the community that have some
time to come check it out, said hockey program head coach
Brad Huntley. But more importantly, its a great way to kick Crowther Memorial Junior High School held their fifth annual Hockey For

This year, to add a little spice to the donating process, the
school pinned each of their three pods against one another, as there will be carts set up inside, accepting donations until
seeing which pod could raise the most food.
On the first day of competition, the school brought in 976
food items throughout the three pods.
This is the most weve ever had on the first day, said days, said Paskevich.

Spartans basketball tips off in tourney play
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The man in charge of Strathmore High School is now in
charge of the senior girls basketball program.
Principal Kyle Larson has taken over the reins for the se-
nior program, joining his wife Leslie, as their daughter and
starting point guard plays out her final year with the Spar-
tans.
Last years head coach, Dion Galandy, has slid over to
coach the boys program at Crowther Memorial Junior High
School, as his son is eligible to play for the Cougars.
Ive always coached, but it hasnt been at the same school
where I work, said Kyle. As principal, it was tough to coach
at another school, so I am looking forward to working with
this team this year.
Kyle takes over a team that won the South Central Zone
championship last year and entered the Alberta Schools Ath-
letic Association provincials as the 10th seed, only to lose
both matches.
The goal is obviously to get back to provincials, but we
have to be competitive in our zone first, said Kyle. We had
some big contributors last year graduate, so right how we are
seeing what we got before we make any predictions.
Graduating last year was lights-out three-point shooter Bri-
anna Kennedy, slashing power forward Ffyona Gibson-Smith,
rebounder Pacey Strangling Wolf and Tatum Wathen, who
registered a few double-doubles.
Our strength is going to have to come from our back
court, said Kyle. We arent a big team this year, so we will
have to rebound by committee.
Last weekend was a feeling out process for the Spartans,
as they participated in their first tournament in Medicine Hat.
In the opener, the Hawks were thumped by the Eagle Butte
High School Talons 40-20. Responding the next morning, the
Spartans handed it to the Balfour Collegiate Bears 70-20, but
dropped the consolation final 68-53 to the Kate Andrews
High School Pride.
You could tell that we havent practiced much, said Kyle.
It was a good game against Kate Andrews, but we still have
a lot of work to do.
This season, the Spartans have opted out of the Foothills
Athletic Council. The league that featured teams from around
the Calgary area and only contained a few competitive games
and demanded a lot of travel time throughout the work and
school week. Instead, the Spartans will only participate in
tournament action, highlighted by their home tournament
Feb. 16 and 17, as they try to make it back to the provincial
tournament.
The road back to provincials will run through Strathmore,

The same crew is back behind the senior boys bench, but
whats different about this years team is their size.
Caleb Funk, Jonathan Le May and Mackenzie Bain were
three of the seniors last year that graduated, bringing the
average height of the starting unit down significantly.
Our tallest guy is in Grade 10 this year, said Spartans
Head Coach Matt Laslo. He played awesome this weekend,
but hes still a 15-year-old going up against 17- and 18-year-
old kids.
An injury in the Spartans opening game last weekend to
Caleb Wilchowy in Lethbridge shrank Laslos big man rota-
tion even more, as they got hammered on the boards and
dug themselves deep holes early.
I think in all three games we went down by at least 20
early, said Laslo. The good news is that we were able to cut
it to three at times, but it definitely wasnt one of our best
weekends.
The Spartans opened up the weekend by losing 89-56 to
the Holy Trinity Academy Knights Dec. 1 in Lethbridge.
Grade 12 student Ryan Edwards led the way for the Spar-
tans with 15 points. He was the only Spartan to finish in
double figures.
Trying to mix in with Edwards and the rest of the returning
cast are six new players this year, as Reid Jensen transferred
over from Holy Cross Collegiate, along with five players up
from the junior varsity program. Cordel Steadman also trans-
ferred from HCC, but will play on the junior varsity team.
Early in the morning on Dec. 2, the Spartans fell 77-72
against the Rundle College Cobras. Edwards led the way
again with 31 points and a pair of blocks.
The Spartans wrapped up the weekend with a 98-93 loss
to the Crescent Heights High School Vikings, where the Spar-
tans were led by Grade 10 student Daniel Mulder with 22
on 10-of-19 shooting. He also finished 3-for-5 from the land
beyond over the weekend. Mulder is one of the new play-
ers Laslo will be keying on this year as he eyes up a trip to
provincials.
Last year, the Spartans lost to the Canmore Collegiate High
School Crusaders in the zone semifinal by one. If the Spar-
tans are to reach provincials this year in Cochrane, they are
going to have to tighten up their defence a lot more.
We have a lot of talent, said Laslo. We have to learn to
play together and get our rotations down on defence and
work hard for each other. It should be another good year.
The Spartans still have a long way to go until then, as they
also have dropped out of the FAC, only playing in tourna-
ments, including the Spartan tournament they are cohosting
with the girls program in February.
Laslo will look to see an improvement in his team this
weekend when they suit up for a tournament in Camrose.

WHEELER,
Lance Morley
April 8, 1939 -
December 2, 2017
As the sun set on Saturday, so too did
the life of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather,
and friend to many.
Lance was born in Calgary, Alberta to Marion and Lin-
coln Wheeler on April 8th, 1939. He attended school
in the communities of Dalemead and Carseland, and
then continued on to Olds College where he gradu-
ated from their agricultural school. On November
18th, 1961, he married Heather King of Indus, and
they resided on the family farm south of Dalemead.
Together they put their trust in the weather, raised
two children, and celebrated the family farms cen-
tennial anniversary in 2009. Lance was very active in
the development of his community and participated
in numerous boards, most notably the Bow Valley Ag
Society and the creation of the Indus Arena. He spent
several years in his retirement as a rural realtor for
Aztec Realty. Lance continued to be deeply involved
with his farm even through his retirement, and he en-
joyed his final years surrounded by family.
Lance is lovingly remembered by his wife of 56 years,
Heather; his children Dianne (Jim) Novak and Stuart
(Michele) Wheeler; and his grandchildren Bradley
(Beth) Novak, Kennedy Novak, and Marla Wheeler.
The family is extremely grateful to Lances physician,
Dr. Fanning, and the staff at the Strathmore Hospital
for their genuine kindness and compassionate care.
