Strathmore-Brooks MLA
forms new political party
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor

It’s been a game of whack-a-mole and Derek Fildebrandt

won’t stay down.
Show ‘N Shine The Strathmore-Brooks MLA dominated headlines last
year with a number of well-publicized controversies. Last
week he once again flung himself into the spotlight by
spearheading a new right-wing Alberta party – the Freedom
Page 20 Conservative Party of Alberta (FCP).
The outspoken MLA, who’s been sitting as an independ-
ent for nearly a year, announced the creation of the party
last Friday, stating the party is a platform for grassroots
conservatives, libertarians and Alberta patriots who believe
in freedom, conservatism and a stronger place for Alberta
within Canada.
The announcement was made just months after Filde-
brandt claimed United Conservative Party (UCP) leader Ja-
son Kenney refused to let him rejoin the party if he planned
Bocce ball on running in his current constituency in order to grow fe-
male memberships – sitting MLA Leela Aheer was the only
one out of five nominees to have her application in on time
to run for the new Chestermere-Strathmore constituency.
On Friday, Fildebrandt said the FCP wants Alberta to have
direct control over the Canada Pension Plan, employment
insurance, tax collection, immigration and the Firearms Act.
“We are a party of unapologetic conservatives and lib-
ertarians; we want to get the government out of your
wallet, your bedroom, your schools and your churches,”
RE/MAX FIRST Fildebrandt said. “We are committed to real grassroots de-
587-316-2000 mocracy (and) in our party the members are guaranteed to
hold the pen on policy.”

The party seeks to only have candidates running in the
majority of rural and small-town constituencies where the
New Democratic Party (NDP) has no chance of winning,

Local teenager recognized for volunteerism
SABRINA KOOISTRA
Times Contributor
For 13-year-old Emma Moore, a com-
munity’s need is quite simply a call to
action.
Under the name Em’s Donation
Projects, Moore has contributed over
$15,000 to various campaigns she has
established to support needs that have
been identified in Strathmore and area.
Beginning this mission at the age of 10,
Moore vowed to help people in need.
Moore has orchestrated and carried
out various campaigns over the past
four year, including Em’s Purse Project,
Senior’s Secret Service Christmas Cheer
Program, collecting donations for the
Veteran’s Food Bank, Em’s Bedtime
Bundles, the Wheatland County Food
Bank Hygiene Drive and the Hunger
Sucks Campaign. She also teamed up
with Brentwood and Wheatland Ele-
mentary Schools this year to sell suck-
ers for their Lickin’ Hunger Campaign,
which raised funds for Moore’s Hunger
Sucks Campaign.
Though she is truly grateful for her
past partners, such as local businesses,
community members, and her friends
and family, Moore generally flies solo
when it comes to organizing these cam-
paigns. Her donation of time is simply
her way of staying committed to the
needs within Strathmore and area.
“I have a really good life and family.

It makes me sad that other kids don’t
always have that, so that’s what keeps
me going,” she said.
To recognize Moore’s efforts, the of-
fice of MP Martin Shields awarded her
with the 2018 Bow River Volunteerism
Award this summer. Nominated by
Strathmore town councillor Bob So-
bol, this award identifies Moore as in-
strumental to community development
through volunteerism. While she said
she is very proud of this accomplish-
ment, she added she doesn’t do the
projects for recognition, but simply to
do the right thing.
As part of his letter of congratulations
to Moore, MP Shields stated, “Commu-
nity service is a vital part of social life.
(Moore’s) commitment to this service
will serve (her) well through the rest of
(her) life… (her) lifetime dedication to
volunteering is inspiring.”

HEALTH ADVICE
Gord Morck
Pharmacist
Capsule Comments
Blood pressure is perhaps the most important risk
factor we know about in medicine. There some new
research that is suggesting treatment should start
earlier. Usually, treatment starts when the systolic
(upper number) reaches 140. Now some doctors
are thinking that better outcomes can be reached if
anything of 120 is measured. Don’t know your blood
pressure? Get it checked.
The new shingles vaccine, Shingrix, is about
97% effective in preventing shingles. This is an
improvement on the first shingles vaccine called
Zostavax but both vaccines reduce the risk of
postherpetic neuralgia, that intense nerve pain
that shingles sufferers know so well. Two shots
of Shingrix are required two to six months apart.
Shingles risk rises after the age of 50.
The term deprescribing is starting to show up in
medical and pharmacy journals.
It refers to the idea that periodic reviews of your
medications might reveals some drugs you may not
need or their doses could be reduced. It’s an idea that
“less is more” could be beneficial because for every
drug that is added to your list increases the chance of
adverse drug reactions and interaction.
Swimmer’s Ear is a painful, itchy infection of the
external ear that can develop from long periods of
swimming. It’s caused by water becoming trapped
in the ear making it an ideal breeding ground for
bacteria. To prevent this, dry the ears and mix a
solution of equal parts white vinegar and rubbing
alcohol and instill 1-2 drops into the ear. This will
help dry the ear out.

MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
New efforts to streamline the Home Support
Program is saving Strathmore thousands of dol-
lars, reducing administrative costs and providing a
framework for the program’s future sustainability.
Three years ago, the Home Support Program –
in operation since 2012 – made up over 50 per
cent of the entire Family and Community Sup-
NEWS port Services (FCSS) budget. The program assists
seniors, people with disabilities and low-income
families to live in their homes as independently
as possible by providing housekeeping services,
grocery shopping and companion care.
The new model aims to implement new income
thresholds, a new fee structure, a medical referral
requirement and a reassessment process every six
months.
As a result, FCSS is reducing administrative time
to 30 per cent of the current resources and cutting
costs to only 31 per cent of the overall budget,
while bringing down the 67 per cent subsidy rate
to below 50 per cent.
“We’re confident that with the new model and
the implementation of (policy 5101) we’ll be able
to see that those numbers continue to shrink over
the next couple years as we find more efficiencies
and new processes,” said Tracey Simpson, direc-
tor of community and protective services for the
Town of Strathmore.
“Our existing model that we have for our Home
Support Program, we’re averaging about 67 per
cent subsidy… these estimates on subsidies in-
clude about 40 to 50 per cent of our administrative
time previously going to this program and in 2015,
the Home Support Program was over 50 per cent
of the entire FCSS budget.”
The new model is based on a budget of 4,000
billable hours and a subsidy of 48 per cent to
clients. Furthermore, the adjustments result in a
$50,000 savings that Simpson said could aid oth-
the Week er programs or be used in external community
~ grants.
The program previously averaged nearly 5,000
billable hours, or the equivalent to 2.75 full-time
positions of home support workers. The data is
based on information collected from 2015 to 2017.
For 2018, the budget is based on three full-time
equivalent positions, or 6,000 billable hours, along
with a number of changes that will affect current

W. Cordeiro Private swimming lake a consideration
for Lakewood Meadows
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
As Alberta’s recovering economy continues to
impact the housing market, developers of one of
Strathmore’s communities are thinking outside
the box to attract buyers and provide an amenity
that’s currently non-existent – a swimmable recre-
ational lake.
The town’s developmental service department
received an application to amend the Lakewood
Meadows Area Structure Plan (ASP) to allow for a
private, recreational lake.
The proposal would not only distinguish Lake-
wood Meadows by making it the first community
in Strathmore to provide a lake view, but it would
also offer year-round activities, providing resi-
dents with a recreational space and, in turn, aid
in the building, development and sale of homes
within the community.
While the lake is intended to be owned, op-
erated and maintained by a private community
association and result in yearly fees, the develop-
ers are investigating methods of providing other
Strathmore residents with memberships; however,
nothing has been confirmed.
“This development was approved a number of
years ago in the area structure plan and the de-
velopers have found that they’ve had difficulty
clients on Jan. 1, 2019.
According to the report, income thresholds will
be enforced as a condition of eligibility as based
on the Alberta Seniors Benefits Special Needs As-
sistance Program for clients older than 65 years of
age, and the Alberta Child Health Benefit Program
for clients under the age of 65. Hourly rates for
service are being adjusted, and clients will be re-
assessed every six months to ensure the assigned
duties are meeting their needs. The program also
requires a medical referral from either a home
care worker or medical practitioner.
While the program also no longer offers a lawn
care or snow removal service, FCSS stated such
services will be supported through new partner-
ships for volunteer-based programs such as new
youth lawn care businesses, Snow Angels and a
Friendly Visitor program.
“For the first time in my five years on council
I have felt fully confident on where we’re going,
and I know that FCSS is relatively new and I can’t
tell you how happy I was to see this and have
confidence and certainty in the numbers and the
budget going forward,” said Councillor Denise Pe-
terson.
She added the biggest concern around the com-
munity she’s heard is rooted in the loss of the
snow removal and lawn care service, and was
grateful to see the inclusion of programs such as
the Snow Angels.
Other council members were concerned about
the impact on current clients and the possibility of
creating confusion. However, Simpson informed
council during the regular council meeting on July
18 that FCSS staff will notify and educate clients,
conduct home visits and new assessments upon
the adoption of the policy by council. The process
is expected to take nearly five months. FCSS cur-
rently has 103 clients.
“It’s incumbent on us as council and the town
to look at efficiencies of a way that we can cut
back,” said acting Deputy Mayor Lorraine Bauer.
“Although this Home Support Program is very im-
portant in our community… we want quality of
life, which is what our motto is in this town, to be
of utmost importance. I think that (FCSS) is defi-
nitely looking at ways that we can still have that
quality of life but maintain it within a responsible
budget.
The policy was passed on July 18 and is expect-
ed to come into effect Jan. 1, 2019.
marketing the project as it currently stands,” said
Ryan Roycroft, director of infrastructure and de-
velopment services with the Town of Strathmore.
“They approached the town to be able to look
at creative ways to reconfigure the area struc-
ture plan to create a more marketable solution.
A privately owned swimming lake (is) an ame-
nity for the development that really isn’t present
anywhere in Strathmore. This would be a unique
feature in Lakewood Meadows.”
Lakewood Meadows and is located adjacent
to Hillview and near the North Boundary Road.
When the Town of Strathmore sold the land to
developers several years ago, it identified a re-
quirement of 40 acres of the land to be used for a
large storm pond. Not willing to determine an ex-
act location for the 40 acres at the time to prevent
intervening with future development, the town
registered a rite of trust on the property. Accord-
ing to Roycroft, that rite of trust remains today.
“With the town being able to negotiate the col-
laborative storm water management initiative, so
large-scale storm water management plan with
the Western Irrigation District (WID) that gener-
ally changes how storm water will be managed
within Strathmore, that entire 40 acres is no lon-
ger required for storm water purposes,” said Roy-
croft.

Reds
ready for
provincials
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Strathmore and the people involved
in the mosquito Reds baseball program
stepped up to the dish at the 11th hour
and are hoping to hit provincials out of
the park this weekend.
After the final tiering portion of the
mosquito Baseball Alberta schedule,
the team that was anticipated to host
the Tier 5 provincial championship got
promoted to Tier 4, leaving the rest of
the five teams in the division high and
dry for a provincial host.
“The short answer to how we got
awarded the chance to host provincials
is because we have some great parents
on this team and they said they were in
and stepped up,” said Reds Head Coach
Jeff Stender. “Now we have a chance to
win it at home.”
The first game of the tournament
goes July 27 at the Strathmore agricul-
tural diamonds, with games running
throughout the weekend. The final —
depending on if there are any tiebreak-
ers — would tentatively go July 29 in
the afternoon.
“The kids don’t really care if it’s at
home or on the road. They are just ex-
cited to play for a provincial title. It’ll
set in this week and they will get ex-
cited to have the chance to win gold in
their own back yard,” said Stender.
Provincials couldn’t have come at a
better time for the Reds, as they are
playing their best baseball of the sea-
son and are 3-3 in their last two week-
ends of action. The Reds have also de-
feated all but one of the entrants in the
tourney. The Camrose Cougars will en-
ter provincials 1-5 in their last six. Their
only win came against the Reds.
The midget Reds program won’t par-
take in provincials for another week, as
they wrapped up their final weekend of
Baseball Alberta play last week with a
1-2 record in Lacombe.
The weekend started off on a crush-
ing note, as the Reds melted away a 3-0
lead, losing in the bottom of the sev-
enth on a walk-off sacrifice fly to lose
4-3 to the host Lacombe Dodgers.
The Reds scored in the fourth when

Kobe Gosling pitched for the bantam Reds 1 during the Canada Day tournament in Calgary.
a walk. He eventually made his way to
third with two outs and scored on a
passed ball.
In the fifth, the Reds managed to
push two more runs across when
Hunter Biskup singled home Ryan Or-
ford, and third basemen Scott Desserre
scored first baasmen Biskup on a
standup double to centre.
Colby Tanton started, going 5.2 in-
nings and striking out six. He gave up
three earned runs, but Kadin Wilson
came on in relief and allowed the win-
ning run to score.
The Reds got their revenge later that
afternoon when Ericson doubled on
the first pitch he saw to walk-off the
Parkland Twins 13-12.
The Desserre brothers were domi-
nant again, as Mitch went 3-for-5 with
two runs scored and two RBIs, while
Scott went 1-for-2 with three runs
scored and two RBIs. Nathan Bogstie
was also productive at the dish, going
2-for-4 with one run scored and col-
lected a pair of RBIs.
On July 22 the Reds were on the
wrong end of 2-1 decision to the Cam-
rose Cougars.
Down 2-0 in the bottom of the sev-
enth, the Reds made things interesting
when Scott scored his brother Mitch
with a triple to centre with one out.
With the tying run standing 90-feet
away, Bogstie struck out and Wilson
flew out to right field to end the con-
test.

Ryerson Rushford was brilliant on
the mound, going five innings, strik-
ing out three and only allowing one
earned run. Orford came in to shut it
down and allowed one run in two in-
nings.
“Playing in these one-run games was
extremely important and we talked
about it with our guys after the game.
We know errors happen, but every
play is so vital this time of year, so we
need to clean a few things up before
provincials,” said Reds Assistant Coach
Darren Cockx.
The Reds are now in prepare mode
for their Tier 1 provincial tournament
over the August long weekend in Red
Deer.
“We think we are looking pretty
good heading into provincials. We’ve
been right there with every team these
past few weeks. We even took Cam-
rose to the brink and they are unde-
feated this year,” said Cockx. “When
we play good defence, we are a tough
team to beat. Now it’s about going out
and playing our best baseball at pro-
vincials.”
The bantam Red 1 program had one
of their two provincial tune up games
rained out July 23 at Fair Field in Chea-
dle.
The Reds also hosted the Foothills
Outlaws July 26 at Fair Field in prepa-
ration for their Tier 1 provincial tour-
nament Aug. 3 to 5 in Grande Prairie,

Barrel racing series
hits midway mark
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
There is still plenty of time to sign
up with the Double S Barrel Racing
Series to win their newest belt buckle.
Now in its third year of existence,
the local ladies barrel racing series
historically gives out four buckles at
the end of the season for the winner
of each division: 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D.
The divisions are broken up based
on average race times, with 1D being
the fastest and 4D being the slower
of the four.
This year, the Double S series has
introduced a new Rookie of the Year
buckle that will be handed out fol-
lowing the two-day final meet at the
end of September.
“New racers will be based on a
point system and they can win as
much as 25 points for each jackpot,”
said producer Denise Sluggett.
Races run each Thursday in Indus
and races also take place one Satur-
day a month at the Strathmore and
District Agricultural Society rodeo
grounds.
The latest race to take place in
Strathmore happened July 21, where

Registration for each race opens the
Monday before the race and closes
the night before. There is a peewee
division for riders between the ages
of four and six, while the open divi-
sion sees riders compete at nine years
of age and older.
Riders also don’t need to be signed
up all season to compete. They can
register as often or as little as they
want.
But after the Double S series hit the
halfway point last weekend, the time
is now to sign up to earn valuable
points towards a year-end buckle –
especially the new Rookie of the Year
buckle – at the end of September.

Ag diamonds could go under inspection

TYLER LOWEY

The Strathmore and District Agricultural Society

is seeing if an upgrade to the softball diamonds is
viable for the future.
General manager of the ag society, Herb McLane,
brought the idea of investing in a feasibility study
to the attention of Strathmore town council during
last week’s meeting.

But even in those times, in those
situations, if we look around there is
someone, something to be thankful
for … a calming person’s voice

An unexpected gift arriving when
the need was greatest. Someone
stepping in when we didn’t know
where to turn.
If I am going to be entirely fair
and honest, there are many times
when it would seem unnatural to
be “thankful,” because times can
be hard and pressures make us
wonder what we could have to
stop and say thanks for … But the
pleasant young man at the door to
the dentist brightened my day … and
I am thankful for a dentist’s office

thankful to live in a town that cares
for its citizens so well. I am thankful
we are safe, in the protective watch
of fire departments, police, EMS.
In the season of summer, we
often have a bit more time to stop
and reflect … I encourage all to
take time and be thankful for the
blessings we have, to make time
to thank people that are part of the
blessings we receive, and to be
blessings to others when God gives
us opportunity….

Refreshed, clean Sauve ready to lift again
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
After putting his body through the
gauntlet last summer, Strathmore’s No-
lan Sauve is taking it easy this summer,
but still competing against the strongest
men around.
Coming off last summer’s season that
saw the 27-year-old Sauve compete in
over eight Strongman events, the local
weight lifter has dialed it back and will
only be competing in his second event
of the summer this weekend in Airdrie.
“I think it’s helped my body to only
be in one event so far. I was pretty
worn down last season and didn’t feel
like getting up to too much after it all
ended,” said Sauve.
The Strathmore product will be put-
ting his best stuff forward this Saturday
at CrossFit 403 for the Canada’s Stron-
gest Natural Man event.
Most Strongman competitions aren’t
drug tested, but this will be the second
event for Sauve this season that bans
any kind of muscle-enhancing steroid.
“I don’t take any extra pride or any-
thing like that knowing I’m clean when
I go up against some of these other guys
that are juicing. It doesn’t bother me at
all,” said Sauve. “My thought is that, I’ve
always been strong without that stuff,
so why start? Even if I was juiced out to
the nines, I could still have a bad event
and lose. So what’s the point of it then?”

Strathmore shows well
at Alberta Summer Games
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Strathmore brought home baseball
gold last weekend during the biennial
Alberta Summer Games in Grande Prai-
rie.
Jonathan Rilling was the only player
from the community to be named to
the zone 2 squad.
Loaded with players from the
Okotoks Dawgs Academy, zone 2 was
a heavy favourite to take the tourney,
but they certainly didn’t start the tour-
nament looking like favourites.
“We were down 9-0 early in our
first game. We all looked around
and thought that this wasn’t how we
thought the tournament was going to
go. We thought we had a better team
than this,” said Rilling, a second base-
men.
Zone 2 gave their head a shake and
bounced out of the early funk and went
on to wax zone 7 by a score of 24-13 in
the opener July 20.
Rilling’s squad closed out the round
robin with a 6-4 victory over zone 6
later that afternoon.
Rilling made his first start in the
semis when they took on zone 4. While
Rilling was held hitless, he did draw a
walk and was hit by a pitch once. He
also made all the routine plays at sec-
ond, in the 7-0 blanking.
“It was great to experience AAA ball
and be around some really great play-
ers. The group of guys was very wel-
coming, and we had a great time,” said
Rilling, who is 14 years of age.
Playing for gold, zone 2 didn’t hold
back, as they steamrolled zone 5 8-0 to
capture the tourney title.
“It was such an exciting feeling. This
was one of the first tournaments I’ve
ever won. To do it at this level was a
great feeling,” said Rilling.
Baseball wasn’t the only sport that
saw a zone 2 team on the podium.
The football program featured three
local players and won bronze in the
most exciting fashion possible.
Zone 2 missed out on a chance for
gold by a fingernail, as they played
zone 5 tight all game and trailed 11-9
in pounding rain until the final few
minutes.
A late touchdown made the final
19-9 for zone 5 and sent zone 2 to the
bronze medal game.
Zone 4 held a 20-6 lead on zone 2 in
the second half. Finally receiving some
nice weather, zone 2 was able to march
down the field twice and added a two-
point convert to force overtime.
Barrel racing in Indus and Strathmore
Continued from Page 15
“We had 160 riders out
last Saturday which was a
huge showing and (it was)
great to see that so many
people are interested in
racing horses,” said Slug-
gett.
This season will feature
more than 20 rides in In-

New to the games this year was the Canadian Football
League overtime rules, where the clock is turned off and
teams start at the opposition’s 35-yard line. They are given
three downs to make 10 yards to keep going. If the team that
starts scores, the opposition has to either match their score
or one-up them for the win.
Zone 4 won the coin toss and punched in a touchdown.
Their kicker got injured earlier in the game, which forced
them to go for two. Zone 2’s defence, led by Kaden Warren,
Dawson Jensen and Jack Warrack, shut down zone 4 and
gave the offence a chance for the win.
Zone 2 Head Coach Chris Class marched his team down Unit D,

the late Lester Jones, who was the best “hand picked typer”
and supervisor of running the press. In 1969 printing changed
to Offset, which involved typed copies, photographs, camera
reproduction of negatives which went to Calgary to be printed.
Due to the change we gave Heritage Park the original Strathmore

we purchased the Old Royal Bank on 2nd. Avenue (Now Standard

we had recruited Maxine Morrison and Elisabeth Struiksma – who
were incredible employees and adapted so well to the new printing
method. We had at first some amusing publications! A big “thank
you” goes to all the writers who faithfully sent in their local news.
Strathmore and the newspaper helped us too adjust to a new way
of living in Canada and we sincerely thank everyone who helped us
on the way.

Wheatland County staff conducting
Pest or Weed Surveys.
Each year Agricultural Services staff
conduct a number or surveys to assist
Alberta Agriculture and determine the
status of pests or weeds that could
affect agricultural production in
Wheatland County.
The staff members performing the
surveys are appointed as Inspectors
under the Agricultural Pests Act and
Weed Control Act. This means that
they legally may enter on any land at a
reasonable hour for the purpose of
inspecting for legislated Agricultural
Pests or Weeds. They do this to help
determine the status of pests or
weeds that could affect agricultural
production in Wheatland County.
While it would be ideal for us to notify
all landowners before performing
surveys, it can be very difficult to lo-

in a short span of time. If you do run
into a staff member, inspectors are
happy to
explain the surveys they are
performing to anyone who is curious,
and will show you their identifications.
Surveys being conducted this year
include the following: Weeds, Bertha

with a kid ready to make his pro debut
so I jumped at the opportunity.”
The kid Schmit jumped into the cage
with was Justin Doege, a 24-year-old
Kelowna product that owned a 3-1 am-
ateur record and was looking to make
the jump into the professional ranks.
“I remember being young and look-
ing for fights. I figured it was a great
opportunity for the both of us,” said
Schmit, who turned 33 the day before
the fight.
It had been a while since Schmit
stepped in the octagon. Recently, he
has been boxing with Dekada Fight
Night and picked up wins in his last
two bouts.
Making the transition back into MMA
wasn’t too difficult for the vet with 11
pro fights under his belt.
Schmit was also riding some momen-
tum, too, as he won two of his last three
decisions.
None of that mattered when Doege
made his entrance at 255 pounds, while
Schmit — who took the fight on very
short notice — was only 206.
Doege tackled Schmit to the ground
twice early in the first round. But the
vet knew how to counter and got back
to his feet both times.
Doege took Schmit to the ground
again a third time. This time, when

Numerous community members, young and old,

Schmit tried to escape, Doege popped
him right on the nose, briefly knock-
ing him out. With Schmit down and
out, Doege got a couple more shots in
before the ref stopped the fight at the
three-minute mark.
The resulting damage was a busted
nose, which Schmit figures is at least
the 10th time it’s been broken, and a
broken orbital bone.
“I stand by my record. I could have
a lot cleaner of a record if I picked my
fights a bit better, but there aren’t too
many fighters around that will step up
on short notice like I do,” said Schmit.
Schmit now has 90 days to hit the
drawing board, as his medical suspen-
sion plays out. He is confident he will
be back fighting in the ring in no time,
as the fight schedule ramps up in the
late fall.
Promoters from all around certainly
know by now they don’t have to put
him in an arm bar to get him to sign up
for the next fight.
Schmit’s training partner didn’t have
any better luck this weekend, but he
still has all his bones intact.
Regan Running Rabbit was sched-
uled to fight at the same XFFC event as
Schmit, but was forced to resign from
the contest a few weeks prior with a
nagging shoulder injury.
Running Rabbit believes he sustained
the injury June 8 at the Prestige Fight-
ing Championship 10 in Fort McMurray,
when Mark Mosure threw him into a
kimura. Trying to slip the hold, Running
Rabbit believes something stretched in
his shoulder.
“I couldn’t even lift my left arm above
my head. It’s frustrating having to pull
out of the competition like that espe-
cially coming off a loss, but you can’t go
into a battle injured or you won’t stand
a chance.
These days, Running Rabbit is jogging
and working out as much as his body
will let him, with hopes of being back
in fighting shape for when the XFFC is
supposed to make its debut in Calgary.
“Fighting close to home will be nice
for many reasons, but it will be great to
fight close to home and have some fam-
ily and friends come out,” said Running
Rabbit.
