A new proposed crosswalk at the

busy intersection of Parklane Drive
and Parklane Way will help pedestrians cross the road more safely, with
the help of a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB). This will be the
second RRFB installed in the Town of
Strathmore.
According to Bryce Mackan, Town of
Strathmores director of infrastructure,
a concern about the busy intersection
was brought forward to the town.
Because of the seniors in the area
who use that intersection, a little extra
safety precaution could be warranted.
We reviewed the site with an engineering consultant and determined that it
would be a good spot to add some
lighting, especially because theres a
slight bend in the road there, he said
during the Sept. 7 town council meeting.
Currently, there is an existing crosswalk on the east side of the intersection, but it provides no lighting and
extra signage, and actually crosses into
the driveway of the opposing property. Thats not where we would like
to have pedestrians cross into, said
Mackan.
An RRFB is a solar-powered, pedestrian-activated traffic control device
that alerts motorists to the presence
of pedestrians using the crosswalk by
displaying rapidly flashing amber beacons mounted above the pedestrian
crossing signs at the side of the road.
The town is reviewing the proposal
to move the existing crosswalk to the
west side of the intersection where it
will cross into another sidewalk instead of a roadway. We want to upgrade the wheelchair ramps there and
create a better crossing, a safer crossing there, said Mackan.
He added that there are other areas
around town that need updating, but
this intersection has been identified as
a priority at this time.
Counc. Rocky Blokland voiced his
concern with the busy intersection.

Town responds
to high utility
bill complaints
MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

At the town council meeting on Sept. 7,
Mel Tiede, director of corporate services,
updated council on how the town has
been responding to utility bill complaints
on social media.
According to Tiede, over the spring and
summer there was some negative criticism
of the utility department with respect to
high utility bills.
In the spring and summer months,
customers find utility bills increase due
to outdoor water usage, he explained to
council.
The town has just over 5,000 water meters in the community and each gets billed
monthly for water usage.
In response to the recent complaints,
the town is in the midst of sending out a
Be Water Wise document to all customers over a one-month billing cycle, which
started Aug. 26. Be Water Wise lists a number of steps and tips that property owners
can use to help reduce water consumption,
detect unnoticed water usage and perform
regular checks.
Some tips include utilizing spray taps,
low flush toilets and specific sprinklers for
outside watering.
The towns utility department has a protocol or list of steps to go through when
discussing concerns that a customer has
about a high utility bill. The town will
check consumption patterns, suggest various water reduction ideas, offer to do leak
reports, perform leak testing, update to
newer meters and send old meters out for
testing. The town has sent 22 water meters
to be tested since 2011.
One meter out of that group had been
found faulty and an adjustment was made
to the customers utility account at that
time, said Tiede, adding residents can
have their meter tested at a cost of $100
which the town reimburses if the meter is
found faulty.
The town has a meter replacement program in effect designed to update water
meter efficiencies, and so far this year it
has replaced 193 meters. Over the previous two years, 692 meters have been replaced.
Tiede expressed the importance of wise
water consumption.
With water becoming an ever increasingly important commodity, we need to
do our part to conserve this important resource.

Bow Valley College looks to expand

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Bow Valley College is looking to offer
more program choices through an expansion to its local office, or a physical
move to a better space.
The college currently offers two program choices through its Strathmore
campus located in the FCSS building in
downtown Strathmore.
Corinne Finnie, director of regional
stewardship with Bow Valley College,
said the college has calculated about
500 local jobs within the Strathmore
region and would like to ensure there
is a ready and available skilled labour
market meeting employment needs.
While the college deems Strathmore
as a growth market in need of more
course offerings, the current space is
not big enough for the college to expand and doesnt provide enough network connectivity to aid in the technological delivery of programs onsite.
Without a new space to operate
from, we will continue offering two
programs a year and 10 people getting
access to education, said Finnie.
Finnie added that space is limited to
about six learners, which makes it very
difficult to grow, and there are only 25
megabytes for bandwidth connection
in the space.
So network connectivity is an extreme barrier in the current space were
operating out of, she said.
At the Sept. 7 town council meeting,
Counc. Denise Peterson expressed interest in the expanded college concept
stating. Im excited about what can
happen and I think this council and
this community has great capacity to at

least mitigate the circumstance of bandwidth, she said.
Strathmore currently has a fibreoptic
line running through the downtown,
and therefore, a downtown space
would work well for a Bow Valley College expansion.
The college conducted a survey of
24 Strathmore respondents and found
a lot of opportunity exists for training,
especially in agriculture, oil and gas,
and trades.
The majority of our programming
in rural communities is for women and
typically with children, said Finnie.
The college is also able to partner
with other post-secondary institutions
to bring desired programming to Strathmore that it currently does not offer.
Finnie said Strathmore is significantly
behind in developing programs compared to other small locations such as
Airdrie. She said Airdrie currently has
the capacity of 76 spaces during the
day which is significantly higher than
the six spaces offered in Strathmore.
When we look at the type of programming were bringing, were actually spending a lot of time on healthcare programming hospital unit clerk,
medical office assistant, healthcare aid
for example because the number of
jobs there are local, said Finnie.
According to Finnie, the Strathmore
campus is starting to see a drop in inquiries and she attributes this to the
campus being relatively unknown in
the area. She maintained the college
has spent a lot of monies on marketing
its programs in the region.
Finnie stressed it is important to keep

local residents within the town.

We want to develop rural communities and keep people learning here and
working here in Strathmore.
There will be approximately 620
graduates coming out of high school in
the region and the college is looking to
keep these youths in the community as
long as possible.
They are a great labour market
source and so if they have access to
post-secondary, chances are they will
stay longer in our rural communities,
she said.
The college will be looking to work
with the Town of Strathmore in moving
toward a bigger space but is not looking for funding at this time.
I cant make an announcement at
this time, but Im very confident that
we will find a solution to move into a
space and the timing is right for me
to come and ask the town to consider
how we can partner and work together
to make that a successful venture in the
community, said Finnie.

There are a lot of elderly people
crossing that road from the housing development plus the Lodge. This is a very
serious road with implications. Somebody is going to get hurt there yet, said
Blokland.
The first RRFB in the Town of Strathmore was installed a little over a year
ago at the intersection of George Freeman Trail and Edgefield Gate. Mackan
said the town has received positive
feedback from this RRFB installation.
The new project will require concrete work for new wheelchair ramps
and sidewalks, beacons and some line
painting.
While the town is looking at two different options for installing the beacons,
the option they recommend would increase the number of ramps to seven, as
well as increase the sidewalk length in
order to connect to the nearest pathway
along the south side of Parklane Drive,
east of the canal. The approximate cost
of this option will be $49,000.
Town council postponed the RRFB
installation decision to the next council meeting on
Sept. 21 so that
it can review the
two different proposed installation
options.
Evidently, many Canadians are not doing a good

job of their oral hygiene. It includes regularly
brushing, flossing and rinsing with an oral rinse.
Some mouthwashes are better than others in reducing
plaque build-up. Our pharmacists will be happy to
help you make a good choice.
The internet can be a minefield of misinformation.
You know how you see an ad for some health product
and a picture a person named Alice or Joseph, pops
up raving about how great the product is. Many of
these testimonials start out by saying the person was
skeptical at first but when they tried it, changed their
mind.
Many of these testimonials are fake. Read with
caution and common sense.
As cooler weather comes upon us, the cough
and cold season cant be far behind. Its a good
time to remind parents that giving cough and cold
medications to children under the age of six is not
proven to be effective. Kids under six are less able
to communicate side effects to their parents. Choose
safer methods like a humidifier or vaporizer, lots of
fluids, nasal saline drops and honey for cough.
Over 60% of Canadian seniors take more than 5
prescribed medications while one in 20 take more
than 15 drugs daily. And this doesnt include all the
vitamins and herbal products people may take. To
reduce the chances of error, our pharmacy staff may
be able to help review and organize your medications.
One of our jobs as your pharmacist is medication
safety. We would be glad to talk to you about your
medications and how to take them safely.

CanSkate in the black

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

The Strathmore Skating Club is entering the skating season with a financial buffer due to successful fundraising efforts from last year that have
carried forward to this year.
According to Cora Foldi, Strathmore
Skating Club media chair, because of
this buffer no fundraising will be required from the CanSkate group.
CanSkate families arent doing any
fundraising this year because we have
a bit of a nest egg so we thought we
would cut back on that, said Foldi.
This year the CanSkate families are
free of the fundraising which is kind
of nice.
However, Foldi said figure skating
families will still have to do fundraising and they will accomplish this
through bottle drives, garage sales and
other things.
Foldi noted that there will be other
changes at the club this year.
Weve got our same coaches but
weve added another coach, weve

bought some new CanSkate equipment, and were bringing a professional figure skater to do a workshop
Aaron Lowe, she said.
Lowe is a Canadian ice dancer who,
along with partner Megan Wing, won
six bronze medals and four silver medals at the Canadian Figure Skating
Championships. The duo also finished
11th at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Lowes workshop is tentatively
booked for Feb. 24.
The Strathmore Skating Club will
have five coaches this year. There will
be a CanSkate or learn to skate program along with a figure skating program consisting of junior, intermediate
and senior skaters.
Power skating will also be offered,
which is more geared towards ringette
and hockey players. Its all about skating, and not about puck handling and
skills. Its all about learning how to
skate faster, sharper edges, said Foldi.
Figure skating has been in full swing
since August, power skating is ongoing
and CanSkate will start the first week

of October with registration open before that.
Those interested in figure skating
can sign up at any time and can even
go out and give it a try before signing
up.
Foldi said that it is always nice to
watch the kids reach their goals. She
said the figure skaters discuss and
set their goals with a coach at the beginning of the year and usually meet
them.
The figure skating girls have lots
of competitions and things coming up
that were pretty excited about. Everybodys moving up really well and it has
been really positive the last few years,
she noted. They all compete at their
own levels and at their own pace, and
they travel all over Alberta and sometimes go into B.C. to compete.
Also new this year will be the senior figure skaters helping teach the
CanSkaters. They will receive monthly
awards for the assistance that they give
each month.
Krista Pietrobono practices with the figure skating group during the Strathmore Skating Club
practice Sept. 12 at the Strathmore Family Centre.

Thats nice for them to get a little

recognition, said Foldi.
Some of the senior figure skaters
have taken CanSkate-certified courses
on a more professional level. These
courses are offered through Skate Canada.
Kings optimistic about upcoming season

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The Cochrane Generals proved to be too much too handle
for the Wheatland Kings in their final game of their exhibition season with their overhauled front office.
The Generals brushed back the Kings 6-1 in Heritage
Junior B Hockey League action in front of a near-sold-out
crowd Sunday night at the Strathmore Family Centre.
It will be a brand new coaching staff brought in by their
new general manager Darcy Busslinger.
Busslinger and his staff have worked with the Wheatland
midget AA organization for the past three seasons, making it

We are proud to have this group of local men join the
organization, said Kings president Mike Langen. We as
an organization have been able to secure some really good
coaching from within our larger local organization and they
are locals who grew up playing and coaching here. They
have come from our local AA program where they have been
for years. And while that is a loss for the WAA, it will give an
opportunity to other coaches at the AA Midget program to
see what they can do.

higher levels to behind the Kings bench.

This is a new experience for me and thats
why I brought my coaches with me. I trust them
and they take care of the work on the ice, said
Busslinger.
The new-faced organization was in tough
against the former South division champs.
We are looking forward to the opportunity,
its new to us, said Stoodley. We didnt have the
greatest preseason, but we got some good looking guys and we are going to get into the swing
of things now.
The Generals were simply faster, livelier and
resembled a Junior A squad Sunday night. They
controlled the play early with several short, crisp
passes, cycled through the neutral zone efficiently
and fired a lot of heavy shots at the net. The Kings
didnt manage a shot on net until 11:26 in the first
frame.
The Kings best couple of shifts came five minutes into the third period on a cross-ice pass, only
to be robbed by the Generals netminder. The
pressure continued into the next shift when, after the face off, the puck was bouncing around
behind the net and squirted out front to a player
who banged in the loose garbage.
Brooker Pretty Youngman is entering his final
Junior B season and realizes that there is a long
way to go from where the Kings stand now.
Well, Cochrane is a good team, no doubt about
that, but I think we got a lot of room for improvement, said Pretty Youngman, who sniped 15 goals

and 28 points for the Kings last season. We have

some young guys who are still trying to get their
feet underneath them, so once we figure it out I
think we can take off.
The Kings finished 13-23-2 under the old regime
last season and are looking to crawl out from fifth
place and have a record over 500 for the first time
since the 2011-12 campaign.
The Kings began their exhibition season with a
5-2 win over the High River Flyers back on Sept. 3,
and lost 7-1 to the Generals on Sept. 10.
With the roster set, the Kings practiced all week
in preparation for their season opener with the
Okotoks Bisons set for 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon at
the Strathmore Family Centre.
New reporter joins the Times

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

Good morning, Strathmore.
My name is Tyler Lowey and I am thrilled to be
joining the strong newsroom at
the Strathmore Times as your new
reporter. I jumped at the opportunity to cover this developing
town.
Just a little about me: I was born
just outside Toronto, grew up in
the southeast of Calgary and attended Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C., where I
graduated with a degree in journalism.
I spent a year as a sports/general reporter for The Morning Star
in Vernon, B.C. and I spent some
time with CBC Radio One in Kamloops.
I am delighted to be back on the prairies. It feels
great to come home and start a fresh new job.
Sports are huge for me. I love them all and espe-
cially love my Toronto teams, the Blue Jays, Maple

Leafs and Raptors. Yes, I have heard all the oneliners, seen all the memes and taken all the flak
that comes with bleeding blue and white. Thats
fine with me, because one day, the Leafs will reign
supreme again and all this pain will be worth it.
I will save you guys a seat on the
bandwagon.
Currently, I moved back in with
my old roomies (my parents) in
Calgary. I will be looking for rental spaces in town, so if you know
anyone with an open room, give
me a call. I am easy to live with, I
try to be as clean as possible and I
cook simple meals like Kraft Dinner and lasagna. I will not disturb
you at night because Ill be locked
into the MLB pennant races. Just
make sure your basement suite has
capable Wi-Fi.
I cant say enough how excited
I am to work in Wheatland County. I am looking
forward to getting to know all of you and uncover
all the fantastic stories this town has to offer.
Wheatland County meets with Shields

SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

Member of Parliament Martin Shields, for the
Bow River constituency, met with Wheatland
County councillors on Sept. 6, to share municipal
and federal information on issues concerning local
residents.
Shields had been taking the summer to visit
communities and participate in various events, prior to heading back to Ottawa for the fall session
that commences Sept. 19.
Its an opportunity to get out there and see a lot
of communities, said Shields, about his summer
schedule.
He said he was hearing concerns about the oil
and gas industry slowdown and carbon credit programs, agriculture and trade agreements.
When I talk to those in the oil and gas sector, they have previously lived through the yo-yo
effect, said Shields. But when they have to let
people go, it makes for a brutal time.
He said producers are hoping for a rebound to
at least $60 per barrel.
Shields said that the carbon credit program is
applying more pressure on those businesses, and
said the current government leans to issues championing green and environmentally friendly policies.
The first thing out of their mouth is climate
change and carbon credits, said Shields.
He said he has supported a drive in committee
work, to get the government to look at the economic impacts these policies have on business and
employment.
He said the pipeline development issue continues to come up and there is a process that has
to be worked through, in order for any of the
pipelines to be given the go ahead. In a response
to what role lobbyists play in getting a pipeline
approved, he said there is a lot of pressure from
these groups, both for and against. Some of the
lobbyists are paid and rumoured to have funding

from foreign sources.
He said there was money available for new energy and green energy development; however, Coun.
Ben Armstrong commented it targets smaller projects and not large corporate or municipal initiatives.
Leading from climate change issues, Coun. Brenda Knight shared information from her tour of the
St. Mary and Old Man River basin. A 1919 transboundary water agreement with the U.S. is currently being reviewed. With increasing demands
on water resources, this agreement will have future impact on water supply for southern Alberta
farmers. Shields commended council for their initiatives with the regional water partnership.
He said trade markets were under a great deal of
pressure. Beef was improving; however, he wondered why countries were still responding to product quality fears.
We have the best cattle and the safest food standards in the world, said Shields.
He said trade talks with China are going slower
than anticipated and negotiations are challenging.
New markets have opened with Korea. Confusion
in Europe with the Brexit decisions and ongoing
conflicts have also had their impact on trade.
When asked about response to the current U.S.
presidential election, Shields said both sides of the
government disapprove of the language and isolationist stance presented during the campaigns.
We hope it goes away after the election, said
Shields. Neither side wants to touch that. We are
waiting to see what happens.
Shields told council he welcomes any documentation from the municipality that concerns federal
matters, saying he could present it to the ministers
personally.
Thats the one advantage of being in the House,
they cant get away from you, said Shields.
On leaving, Shields commended people who
serve at the municipal level.
Municipal people make the decisions that are closest to

the people, said Shields. I remember it well. Being at a different level, I see what municipal people do and appreciate
it.
He said municipal councils can address concerns in a matter of weeks, whereas he was learning to appreciate that
sometimes to change things at a federal level takes a change
of governance.

HOW GENEROUS ARE YOU?

HOW MUCH DO YOU TRUST?
There was drought throughout
the land, a drought that Elijah
had prayed for. As the land
dried up and crops failed,
he was forced into hiding,
so went to live in the Valley
Cherith. It did not take long
and even this oasis dried up.
All the land for miles around
was parched! Prairie people
understand the serious nature
of drought.
The word of the LORD came
to Elijah and told him to go live
with a foreign widow she
will feed you. He went and
presented himself at the gate
of the town where the widow
lived. Bring me a little water
in a vessel, so that I may drink.
Bring me a morsel of bread in
your hand.
But she said, As the LORD
your God lives, I have nothing
baked, only a handful of flour
in a jar, and a little oil in a jug.
I am now gathering a few
sticks that I may go home and
prepare for myself and my son,
that we may eat it, and die.

She had only enough for one

last meal.
Elijah, the man of God said,
no worries. You go home and
make me a little cake, bring it
to me, and afterward go home
and feed yourself and your
son. The flour will last and the
jug of oil not run out, until the
day the LORD sends rain and
this drought is over.
What would you have done
had you been that widow?
There was barely enough
for one last meal for her son
and herself and she was
being asked to share with a
complete stranger- a man from
another country no less!
This single mom shared, and
was awe struck! The supplies
lasted and all three ate. Not
one of them went hungry. This
unnamed women trusted, was
generous with what little she
had, and learned that God truly
does, come through.
Would I be as generous?
Would I trust that deeply?

No shortage of doctors in Strathmore

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Healthcare in the Strathmore area has changed significantly over the last five years as more and more doctors have arrived in the area to provide a range of services for residents.
Dr. David Piesas, sectional medical chief of staff at the
Strathmore Hospital and physician at Strathmore Medical
Clinic, has been practicing in Strathmore for 15 years. He

the Week

Dreams are
extremely
important.
You cant do

imagine it
first!
said 10 new physicians have arrived in Strathmore over the last five years.
Thats changed the whole dynamic within
Strathmore since we were a smaller community
struggling with no one being able to find appointments and having to go to the emergency room
because they couldnt get in with their family doctor or they didnt have family doctors, he said.
Piesas said patients acquired physicians outside
of town in previous years as a result of a lower
level in the number of doctors. However, in spite
of the recent increase in the number of doctors,
he believes there are still quite a few patients in
the area who have physicians outside of Strathmore.
Currently, there are about 25 physicians providing different levels of care in Strathmore.
Thats quite incredible compared to five or six
which it was five or six years ago, said Piesas.
He said the increase in physicians started about
five years ago with the recruitment of four physicians to Valley Medical Clinic. Then, Pinnacle
Medical Centres opened up and hired three new
physicians, followed by two more physicians at
Crystal Ridge Medical and lastly new physician
Dr. Mike OBrien at Strathmore Medical Clinic this
month.
I think if there are new physicians going to
start in town, they may have difficulty in building
up a practice. Its not going to be as easy as it was
five years ago, said Piesas.
He said patients are now able to go to one of
the walk-in clinics or to phone their family doctor
and get a same day appointment for minor issues.
Many clinics have same day appointments and offer walk-in times.
For those looking for a family physician, Piesas
recommends phoning around to find doctors who
are accepting new patients. He said there is someone at each clinic accepting new patients.
In addition, specialized services are provided by
the Primary Care Network in Strathmore, which
runs an internal medicine specialist clinic once
a week. The network also does consultations on
complex, acute care patients who are admitted to
the hospital.
Other specialized services are available in
Strathmore as well. Vanessa Avramenko, office
manager at Crystal Ridge Medical, said the clinic
sees a need for specialized services. Because we
do have a lot of elderly in the community, its difficult for them to travel to Calgary for multiple
specialist appointments, so if we can have services local in town, its a lot easier for them to
arrange transportation, she said.

The clinic has an audiologist in every Friday
who deals with hearing aids, hearing testing
and other hearing issues, and the clinic will also
be offering services from the Foot Institute one
Wednesday each month. Crystal Ridge is also
looking at bringing in a respirologist.
Avramenko said the clinic would like to offer
more specialized services in the future.
It just depends on the companies that are willing to come to Strathmore to give the services,
she said. It kind of works on if they feel its something that our community could benefit from.
Thirteen physicians work at the Strathmore
Hospital in acute care, which houses 24 beds designed for short-term illnesses. These physicians
do their own admissions and run their own patients. There are also an additional 12 physicians
who run the emergency room. Five of those physicians work in the emergency room only, while
the other seven run clinics in town and also perform emergency room shifts.
According to Piesas, the Strathmore Hospital
emergency room is one of the busiest Calgary rural emergency rooms, and it peaked in 2008-2009
with 33,000 emergency visits per year. However,
thats currently dropped down to 24,000 visits per
year or approximately 2,000 per month.
Thats probably because of the change in the
physician manpower in Strathmore, said Piesas.
Yet, it is still one of the busiest smaller emergency rooms in Alberta.
The 24-hour emergency department services a
big area since there is no other emergency room
between Calgary and Brooks. Piesas said the
emergency department in Strathmore sees a lot
of people drive out from Calgary due to shorter
wait times and there are also a lot of people who
turn up from Siksika. He said they have quite a lot
of primary care illnesses and a lot of pathology.
Strathmore Medical Clinic offers walk-in services Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon
and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday 9 a.m. to 12.
Pinnacle Medical Centres offers walk-in services Monday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and
Tuesday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Crystal Ridge Medical offers walk-in services
Tuesday through Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30
p.m. and alternating every half hour between
scheduled appointments Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Valley Medical Clinic is open for walk-in services on Mondays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and
Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
The number of
doctors in Strathmore
has
increased substantially over the last
five years, enabling
more
physician
coverage at clinics
and the hospital.

Times Contributor

The second Wine Survivor
contest deadline is Oct. 31.
Teams entered by Oct. 17 will
be eligible for an early bird
prize.
The first contest was run at
the end of August and Marcy
Field, organizer for the event
presented Wheatland County
with $3,000 generated at the
event, which will be put toward

the Carseland Fire Hall building
project.
We are very proud and appreciative of all the fundraising initiatives made by the fire
associations and residents of
Carseland, and their ongoing
support of the Carseland firefighters, said Jim Lazlo, Wheatland Countys general manager
of agriculture.
Five teams of six people en-
tered in the first contest, and the

winners walked away with an
impressive assortment of wine.
Each member of a team donates $40, half of which goes to
the Carseland Fire Hall, and half
goes to purchase wine. Daily or
weekly draws are made, then,
to eliminate teams. Some win
wine, and some get kicked out.

Terry Fox Run looks for participants

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Organizers for the Strathmore Terry Fox Run are
looking for participants to help make the event a
success.
The Run takes place Sept. 18 starting at 8 a.m.
from the Kinsmen Park Amphitheatre. Participants
have the option of doing a 5 km or 10 km walk,
run, bike or blade, and can register as an individual
or as a team.
The Terry Fox Run is a non-competitive event
where people get together as individuals, families,
and groups to raise money for cancer research in
Terrys name. Runs take place in over 9,000 communities across Canada every year and are accessible to anyone with no entry fee, no minimum
pledge and a non-competitive atmosphere.
Participants raise money by getting sponsorships
via a paper pledge form, or through their race web
page, said Aia Clamp, local Terry Fox Run orga-
nizer.
Once they register online, there is an ability for
them to send out messages to friends and family to
support them through the website. They could also
get a paper pledge form from myself, she said.
The Strathmore Terry Fox Run will also raise
money by selling t-shirts. These will be available
for sale at Kinsmen Park on the day of the race.
Clamp said she will be organizing the day and
the runners, and ensuring everybody has a good
time.
Light refreshments will be provided after the
Run.
Terry Fox was a trailblazer with his Marathon of
Hope in 1980. His run across Canada was an amazing athletic feat, and he accomplished this with his
artificial leg exposed, talking about cancer and giving hope to those suffering from the disease.

Shame on me!
PAT FULE
Fule for Thought
Embarrassment comes to us in all forms, and
often happens when were totally vulnerable and
least expect it. For me recently, it happened right
in my own home where you think youd be in
your safe, happy place!
In fact, theres nothing quite like falling into
the laundry room from the garage. You know
when youve said goodbye to your spouse, think
shes done talking, and you step into the garage to
tie your shoes. I foolishly thought Deb was done,
so I leaned against the door to lace up the old
runners. She had one more instruction to give me,
and pulled open the door, causing me to literally
fall in to the laundry room, at her feet! Its quite
a shock to feel your only support give way, and
wind up in a room you just left. Ive now learned
to use the steps for support!
Sometimes the embarrassment happens in public where theres no real place to hide. Once, years
ago, Deb and I were picking up some bank forms.
The bank lady politely asked Deb for some photo
ID, and Deb reached in her purse to find her Drivers License. With a smooth flourish, Debbie pulled
out her wallet, and with it, out flew a new factory
sealed tampon! It was literally launched from the
purse, up in the air, and it gently bounced in front
of the bank lady!
What do you do at a time like? I know what
I do I laugh! not sure if you needed that
personal ID!
I continued to laugh, and Debbie, who is a very
discrete and modest person, wilted in embarrassment!
A few years ago, my son decided to put me in
my own awkward predicament. He and his new
girlfriend came grocery shopping with me. You
can imagine my horror when it was time to pay
the cashier, and our eyes met at the same time,
at the same items Brennan had slipped into my
groceries. There mixed in with the groceries was
a certain brand of lubricant (not WD-40)!
These are not the kinds of groceries I regularly
buy, and I think the poor cashier is now scarred
I know I am. Then to top it off, I had to go and
re-stock this item that I did not want, all while
Brennen skulked and laughed at the end of an
aisle!
I used to love to scare Breanne and any friends
she had over. Once at one of Brennens U of C

games, I was sure Bree and her friend had gone
ahead to our Silver minivan. I stealthily crept up
to the drivers door, threw it open and screamed
as loud as I could. I felt it was my best serial killer
impression, too. But, as you can imagine wrong
van!
Im so sorry Im sorry, was all I could manage. The couple had been looking at a city map
it was now plastered all over the ladys face. The
poor people were absolutely terrified (Im so glad
Canadians cant carry hand guns!).
They never even had time to get angry, as I
sprinted over to the right van to be teased mercilessly by my daughter! That became a start the
car, start the car moment!
My latest escapade happened this summer. Its
one of those moments when true fear and embarrassment hit you right in the face. My son and
his fiancs family were in Osoyoos, and Ive been
learning to use a ride on mower. In fact, Im starting to feel like a farmer, on their acreage! So, at
the end of my cutting, as I was putting everything
away, I realized I had to go to the bathroom. To
word this delicately, I had to urinate to tinkle,
you know ... so, I popped into their powder room,
to do my job.
No one told me that the main water was shut
off! Flush nothing flush panic. What was
I to do, I couldnt leave like this, for them to discover my gift!
So, I raced to the kitchen, filled coffee pot after
coffee pot with water from their cooler, and I was
able to get the stupid toilet to flush! I thought this
was great until I realized that I had pretty much
emptied their water cooler! They would wonder
who drank all their water, now what? So having
been raised a good Catholic, I phoned Brennen
and Abbeys dad to confess.
My penance has, of course, been some laughter and ridicule! So, from now on Im using the
Great Outdoors next time Nature calls!

County reconsiders
past vote
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

In a rare vote on Sept. 6, Wheatland County council reconsidered their vote denying Douglas Homes six development
permits.
Such a vote is rarely made and needed consultation from
the County lawyer, and reference to Roberts Rules of Order,
to make sure the procedure undertaken was correct.
I gave my word. I can see no reason why we cant rescind, said Coun. Alice Booth.
Booth and Coun. Brenda Knight were outvoted at the
Aug. 16 meeting, by a vote of four to two, denying Douglas
Homes the right to permits.
The four councillors who voted against the applications
gave their rationale for their vote. Some thought it might be
an end play by the company to slide permits through before the Oct. 18 wastewater pipeline review date. They said
some Muirfield residents had complained about the trucking costs to dispose of their effluent. They did not want to
see the new homeowners suffer, if costs escalated or negotiations fell through. There were also concerns that it would
reflect on upcoming permit requests for the area.
I would hate to see six more people have to pay those
costs, said Coun. Ben Armstrong.
In order to reconsider the vote, one of the four councillors who denied the permits had to ask for reconsideration
on the lost votes. After much deliberation, both Coun. Don
Vander Velde and Coun. Rex Harwood provided a reconsideration motion; all six permits were individually reviewed
again and were accepted with only Coun. Armstrong opposed.
Their decision did not come lightly. An eloquent appeal
by resident businessman Doug Whitney started a process in
which council had to roll up their sleeves and work through
a perplexing political catch 22.
I am here today, really as a ratepayer, standing shoulder
to shoulder with the other citizens of the Lakes of Muirfield, said Whitney. I am here to speak to you about the
hardships placed on us, from what we believe is political
posturing going on between the County and the developer.
He said as a builder in the County, he had some of the
same goals as the County for growth and prosperity of the
community.
Whitney said the initial decision meant he had to lay off
tradesmen who were supporting wives and children. It affected businesses in the community. Credibility, good faith
and business reputations were being jeopardized. He had
one buyer waiting for her new home, whose current home
had sold and she was living with relatives. If no reconsideration was made, she would have to wait another six months
to a year while appeal processes were made.
I am not burning bridges, I am starting to nuke them and
those are bridges that cant be built again, he said.
Whitney said property values were dropping due to delays in resolving these issues, with evidence of more for-sale
signs on homes going up every day.
The sacred equity of those people that trusted in and
invested in the community is being driven down and diminished, said Whitney.
He appealed to council to reconsider the vote, so the situation did not escalate to where reimbursement for personal
damages within the community would be considered.

County debates Muirfiled issue

The terms credibility, accountability
and trust were looked at from both
sides of the issue.
Whitney reminded council of the
comments made in the April meeting
to builders, and stated it was not fair to
use punitive measures against the residents and businesses, yet having little
effect on the situation with the developer. Council replied they were caught
in a difficult corner. They needed to ensure accountability and protect County
residents.
Nothing has been done and we have
seen it before, said Coun. Harwood.
The problem is the County didnt hold
anyone accountable for those services.
I want to see something signed and I
want to see some goodwill from their
side. With that, I am willing to rescind
it.
Whitney stated the effluent is being
trucked to Strathmore waste treatment.
Cost comparisons were done and the
price was cheaper than what Chestermere residents were paying for treatment. New buyers were being told the
waste management costs may rise, prior to signage of sales agreements. He
said his company always sent request
for permits as a batch. It was business
model regularity.
Coun. Brenda Knight agreed with
Whitney. She reminded her fellow
councillors that when the lots were
sold to the builders, it was under the

condition the effluent be shipped.
She said with the Strathmore trucking agreement, that contract obligation
continues.
Jim Souza, project manager for the
development, verified he had been
making weekly progress reports to the
County, as requested, and the delay
in having a signed contract lay in the
laps of lawyers and summer vacations.
However, he agreed council should
keep pressure applied to have the contract signed.
The problem is lawyers. Everyone is
on vacation during the summer and it
is hard to get things done, but summer
is over, said Souza. It is just not fair to
penalize these people.
Souza said lawyers gave assurances
the contract will be finalized before
2017. Souza made a promise not to
come back in front of council unless he
had a signed paper to give councillors.
Whitney suggested if the council
wanted to add teeth to the agreement
with the developer, they could apply
pressure to hold decisions on the existing unsold lots and phases owned by
the developer in the Lakes of Muirfield.
There are currently 24 unsold lots in
Phase I. The developer had planned for
a Phase 2 and 3 in the future.
We need to take away the mudslinging and start at ground zero, said
Coun. Harwood, who changed his vote
after hearing from Whitney and Souza.
We look forward to seeing you.

Tax penalties questioned

SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

There were several requests for rebate of tax penalties at the Sept. 6
Wheatland County council meeting.
The deadline was June 30, and payments must be postmarked prior to
that date.
Tax notices were mailed April 29
and the Municipal Government Act
states they are deemed received seven
days after they are mailed.
I move to approve the recommended action (denial of rebate), as it was
submitted by the owner late and it was
proved by the attached postage, said
Coun. Ben Armstrong about one application.
Several others also did not get approval for rebates; however, one application was rebated as the error was
not the fault of the landowner.
Some residents said they didnt receive the notice and paid once the
penalty letter was sent. One person
sent a stale dated cheque with a 2015
date and it wasnt caught by staff. The
bank returned the cheque after the
June 30 deadline. An online payment
was made, but the resident did not
notify Wheatland County staff that the
money was in electronic transit and so
the payment was deemed late.
NEW FIRE CHIEFS
Andrew Tschetter was approved by
Wheatland County council as Cluny
Fire Chief on Sept. 6. Previously, members of the Cluny Fire Protection Association voted unanimously for Tschetters acceptance on Aug. 25.
I am sorry to hear our previous
fire chief is moving away from our

area, said Coun. Alice Booth, but was
pleased that Tschetter had stepped up
as a replacement.
The Gleichen District Fire Association voted on Aug. 14 that Ron Welcher
head up their crew. Welcher was approved as Gleichen Fire Chief at by
Wheatland County council on Sept. 6.

COUNTY LOOKS INTO HOSPITAL

X-RAY SUPPORT
Wheatland County councillors requested information from Strathmore
Hospital regarding an additional x-ray
room in the hospital renovation. A
partnership agreement may be in the
works to equip and staff the additional
lab. Currently, the renovation provides
the extra room, but no money for staffing and equipment.
I wonder if we need clarification
from Alberta Health Services, said
Coun. Alice Booth. Will they support
to pay for another technician? I think
that has been the issue and that is why
(the hospital) was opposed to the purchase of a second machine.
Coun. Brenda Knight suggested
money for a technician and maintenance for the machine may not be in
the Strathmore Hospitals current budget and suggested a letter be sent to
the hospital to verify this, with a carbon copy sent to the Alberta Health
Minister.
Councillors felt they would get support from other municipalities in the
County on the initiative and once an
answer to their questions was given,
the matter could be taken to the regional partnership meeting.

Carrie Sproule and Amy Wegner of
Strathmore will travel to Rwanda in October, to support mothers affected by
extreme poverty.
Sproule first went to Rwanda with
the organization HOPEthiopia/Rwanda
in 2013, reaching out to 10 Rwandan
women whod survived sexual assault
during the 1994 genocide, when they
were 9 to 14 years old.
They all had children from that raping and their schooling was cut short,
Sproule said. Their families were
killed. So all they could do was sell
themselves to feed their children.
Sproule and seven others visited the
Rwandan women in their homes, showing love, building trust and, through a
translator, listening to their stories.
The stories these precious, beautiful young girls told us, they broke our
hearts, Sproule said. They couldnt
believe that all these women from Canada would come and sit in their little
homes, because they were despised by
their own people.
They helped the Rwandan women
create personal scrapbooks, recording
their stories, taking and inserting photographs, and adding songs, prayers,
Bible verses and other inspiring messages.
When we went back the next year,
some of those scrapbooks were worn
out, Sproule said. They (finally) had
something of their life to show. Theyd
shown it with such pride.
Between those yearly visits, HOPEthiopia had enrolled the womens children in school and trained the women
in the business of sewing. Scholarships, donated by Albertans, covered
the womens living costs during their
training.
Similar teams now go to Rwanda annually, re-connecting with the women
who started training the year before,
and meeting 10 new women.
Almost 100 Rwandan women have
been through training since 2013,
Sproule said, and the trained, experienced women now run business co-ops
and mentor the newer women.
It was like they lived in a tunnel
with no light at the end, she said,
about how training has changed womens lives. Once youre in that kind of
a lifestyle, how do you get out of it?
Its just like suddenly life and light has
been put into their life and they have a
way out.

The trained women still need support, however, and its those women
whom Sproule and Wegner will visit on
this trip, giving care, encouragement
and accountability.
The encouragement to the women,
that somebody from over here would
care enough to come to just be with
them, to encourage them, is worth (so
much), Sproule said.

added. We have so much, if we can
just give a little.

With libraries viewed as
an integral part of municipal community life, Wheatland County councillors
felt concerned that provincial funds awarded to the
libraries were not covering
the necessary maintenance
issues or repairing of the
buildings.
On Sept. 6, council voted to support a borrowing powers document for
regional library systems
at the Central and Alberta
Municipal District meetings.
There is a crucial need to
help the systems maintain
the facilities where their

resources are housed. The
Marigold library building
is in serious need of repair
and the proposal provides
a framework for joint efforts by the province, municipalities and the library
systems to meet their financial and service goals.
We will talk to other
members, said Wheatland
County CAO Alan Parkin,
who indicated the motion
would go to the central
district meeting in Acadia
set for October 2016.

Hawks lose tightly fought game

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Everything was falling into place
for the Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks
to orchestrate a game-winning drive
in the opening game of their inaugural football season, but the Caroline
School Cougars had other plans.
The Hawks recovered a fumble just
inside Cougars territory with just
over a minute remaining, but failed to
punch in the winning score, as they
were grounded 22-12 in Alberta 6 Man
Football League action on Sept. 7 at
Holy Cross Field.
It was a tightly fought game and
it came right down to the end, said
Hawks head coach Michael Annicchiarico. We left a lot of points on the
board.
The Hawks might not have walked
away with the result they were searching for, but the excitement and support they received was encouraging.
The players ran onto the field in front
of more than 200 students, parents
and friends along the sideline, while
the schools percussion band jammed
in the background.
It just speaks to the community we
are in and we are very lucky. There
were elementary and high school kids
out watching; there is a great environment in this town, said Annicchiarico, who also teaches Grade 10-12
social studies at Holy Cross Collegiate
(HCC).
The majority of players were playing in their first game of football, but
Jayden Hendricks played like a salted
vet.
I love the hitting and cutting
around guys, said Hendricks. The
touchdowns and making plays are fun
too.
Hendricks was literally all over the
field for the Hawks, featured as running back on offence and rotating between linebacker and defensive back
while on defence.
When the Hawks lost the coin toss
before the game and kicked off, Hendricks was in the middle making
tackles, forcing a three-and-out on
defence. Then, on the Hawks second
offensive series, on the first play of
the drive, Hendricks took a handoff to
the left and busted off a 40-yard dash,
scoring the first touchdown in Hawks
history.
That was definitely the highlight
for me, said the 6-foot-1 Hendricks.

season opener Sept. 7 at Holy Cross Collegiate Field.
Tyler Lowey Photo
The Grade 11 standout led the

Hawks in carries, tackles and two
fumble recoveries.
The Cougars opened and closed the
second quarter with a pair of rushing
touchdowns, jumping ahead 13-6 at
the break.
A lot of our guys have never played
before. There were a lot of penalties
and turnovers, said Annicchiarico.
We need to be more disciplined moving forward.
The field was covered in cloth
throughout the second and third
quarter. Penalties by both sides halted
drives and neglected scores.
Hendricks peeled off another 35yard touchdown carry, only to be
called back because of a holding call.
The Hawks also had a pick-six reversed for pass interference.
Also making his debut on the gridiron was senior quarterback Hayze
Stevens.
I thought it went well, we got a lot
to learn from, but I think we can be in
good competition in our next couple
of games, he said.
Stevens, a Seattle Seahawks fan, was
roughed up in the first quarter and
came off the field holding his ribs.
He wasnt gone long, as he returned
to action midway through the second
quarter and showed no ill effects following the game. He, like Hendricks,
is just happy to be out on the field
representing his school.
This is my first year playing football, I just wanted to be part of it, try a
new sport and be part of a great thing
here at HCC, said Stevens.
The Hawks play in the south division with nine other teams. The
Hawks host Heritage Christian Academy on Sept. 16 at Holy Cross field.
It looked like the Red Deer Steelers

were going to punch it in and break the
tie, but a goal line stand by the Strathmore Community Football Association
peewee Badgers defensive unit slammed
the door.
The Badgers prevailed 28-6 Saturday
afternoon at Crowther Memorial Junior
High School Field.
The turning point was definitely the
strong pushback from the Badgers front
line.
That was a big stop, said Badgers
head coach Doug Thiessen. Everyone
started playing a little bit harder after
that.
After the two teams traded rushing
touchdowns in the first half, the game
was locked up 6-6 into the third quarter.
The Steelers were marching down the
field looking to score, when an unnecessary roughness penalty was called on the
Badgers, putting the ball on the one-yard
line.
The Steelers had three cracks at the
end zone, but on each attempt, the defensive line broke through, tackling the
ball handler in the backfield, pushing
them further and further from the goal
line.
Eventually, the Badgers took over after a turnover on downs at their own 15yard line.
On the Badgers first play of the drive,
the ball was snapped fortuitously over
the quarterbacks head and into the arms
of running back Dawson Jensen. He took
off down the field, shedding tacklers left
and right, being brought down deep in
Steelers territory.
We talked to them at half time and
calmed them down, said Thiessen. We
were making mistakes and playing a little nervous. It was the first game for a lot
of our guys.
To finish off the game-changing drive,
Jensen carried several Steelers on his
back as he got within goal-to-go distance.
The Badgers promptly punched it in with

BANTAM BADGERS
Unfortunately for the bantam Badgers,
they didnt get a chance this weekend to
muster up any game-winning drives or
defensive stands.
The Innisfail Cyclones dropped out of
the bantam division, resulting in a bye
for the Badgers on the weekend. The
Badgers will host Rocky Mountain House
in their season opener in Strathmore on
Sept. 17 (1 p.m.).
SENIOR BADGERS
The senior Badgers are off to a smoking hot start following their first two
games of the campaign, outscoring their
opponents 89-14.
The Badgers cooked the Sundre Bisons
26-14 on Sept. 3 in Sundre and blasted
the Bowden Blazers 63-0 last Sept. 8 in
Bowden.
It was a good game and we are off to
a good start, but there are still plenty of
things to work on, said Badgers head
coach Sean Seafoot. We had a short
week in between the two games so we
couldnt really put any new plays in, all
we did was try and work on some things.
We have a bigger break before our next
game so we are going to try and put in
some new formations.
Badgers quarterback Reid Jensen recorded five touchdowns over the Blazers.
Waiting for the Badgers are the Innisfail Cyclones, two-time champions and
loaded with a big roster.
So long as the Badgers clean their game
up a little bit and dispose of the penalties
that have cancelled out touchdowns in
the past, Seafoot likes their chances on

They did an excellent job after that.

Mustangs
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The only significant time the Highwood High
School Mustangs spent inside the Strathmore
High School Spartans territory was when the
teams switched sides after each quarter.
The Spartans crumpled the Mustangs 43-6 in
an out-of-conference football game at Strathmore High School Field on Sept. 9.
There were some real positive signs Friday,
said Spartans head coach Travis Gorski. We
were very physical even though we were a
smaller team. We were assertive and hit them
hard.
The Spartans headed into the second quarter
up 13-0 after senior quarterback Isaac Wegner
connected with wide out Pierston Khanapace
on a 60-yard catch and run touchdown.
It felt good out there today, said Wegner.
We felt good going in and there were things
we worked on this week that worked out in
the game.
One of the items Wegner claimed to be working on at practice was playing with a more
heads-up style. Clearly something clicked, as
he threw for over 190 yards and two touchdowns, only playing in the first half.
His favourite target was fellow senior Isaiah
Simwamu, who hauled in two touchdowns and
ran for another.
Weve played together since bantam. Its
pretty easy out there if you have chemistry with
someone, knowing you can throw the ball up
there and hes going to be there to catch it,
said Wegner.
In the second quarter, with the Spartans up
27-0, Gorski pulled his defence aside and reminded them about the game plan.
We went over their responsibilities, reminded them to rally to the ball and tackle as a
team, said Gorski.
Those words stuck to defensive back Nathan
Cayouette; on the next defensive series, he took
to the skies, diving backwards to haul in an interception near mid-field as his bench erupted
once the play was blown dead.
Once the game was firmly in the Spartans
grasp, Gorski took the opportunity to sub in
some of his younger players with hopes of developing his own program.
While this was an out-of-conference game,
the Spartans will get down to business in the
Rangeland Football Conference this Friday
when they head to Medicine Hat to take on the
Mohawks.
This was a motivating and encouraging win
for us. This win will get us going for the next
game, said Wegner.
Loaded with seven seniors on the squad, Gorski has turned the reins over to his players and
likes the way the team has been run early on.
Ive seen a lot of leadership out of these
guys so far. They have made strides from where
they were last year and progressed and now
they are leading us, said Gorski, who teaches
math at Strathmore High School.

Little girls dressed in snow
pants and sweaters, either to
keep them warm in the arena
or to provide cushion from
the ice, laced up their skates
for the first time during the
Come Try Ringette event on
Sept. 8 at the Strathmore
Family Centre.
The Strathmore Minor Ringette Association (SMRA) organized the annual fall camp.
This was a fun, low-key
way for kids to try out ringette and for parents to assess the sport to see if it is
a good fit for their children,
said Cecilia Moore, director
of managers for SMRA.
This was a planned program put on by qualified
instructors who play in different levels of SMRA. Jan
Wathen, the director of mar-
keting for SMRA, was also

on the ice running the kids
through drills.
Moore was impressed by
the turnout and credits educating parents during this
past weeks registration as a
way to attract more kids.
Our motto is, fun, friendship and fun, we want them
to come out and love the
sport, said Moore, who has
a daughter on the U12 team.
While promoting the sport
was the main objective, seeing if there was any chance
for last minute recruitment
was also a reason for the
camp.
Evaluations for ringette divisions are underway.
This was the final camp for
the fall as the season kicks
off at the beginning of October. If there is enough interest, there will be another
camp in the spring.

Charity slo-pitch tourney a labour of love

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

Two young men with big bats and even bigger hearts
have been raising substantial amounts of money each
summer through their annual slo-pitch tournament.
Jason Hobson and Shane Fraser, both 18, grew up
together in Hussar, where they hung out, played sports
and now plan charitable ball tournaments.
Three years ago, we played on a slo-pitch team and
we would travel to play in tournaments, said Hobson. We figured, why not invite teams to play here?
We didnt realize how much money we were going to
make. We didnt know what to do with it.
The two materialized the idea through texting; Fraser
is still taken aback at the success of the tournament.
Its pretty crazy, we never thought it would be as big
as it is, said Fraser. We figured we would raise only a
grand or two.
After three installments of the tournament, the pair
raised more than $18,000 for different charities.
This past summer, Hobson and Fraser selected two
groups: Ronald McDonald House and Strathmore Mental Health. They split the money raised and sent a
cheque worth $3,700 to each group.
We are honoured that these young men chose us as
one of the recipients of this years fundraiser and very
appreciative of their efforts and contribution, said Darcy Jessen, area manager for rural addiction and mental health. Were going to use the funds to purchase
equipment and programming that will directly enhance
client care.
Last year, when Fraser was a member of the midget
AAA Bisons, his team took a trip to Ronald McDonald
House to hand out gifts in honour of Markus Lavallee,
a teammate who passed away in 2015. Shortly after, he
decided half of the tournaments earnings would go to
Ronald McDonald House. They also collected toys at
the tournament and sent them along with the cheque.
The tournament takes place the weekend following
the August long; this year it took place Aug. 5-7, at
Hussar diamonds. There are typically 10-12 teams that
enter.
We decided to change up the recipient each year.
That way we can help out different organizations, said
Hobson, who graduated from Strathmore High School.
We pick the charities if they have affected our family
or close friends, keeping it close to our hearts.
They raised over $6,000 during the inaugural tournament for diabetes, a disease Fraser deals with while
still managing to play hockey at a high level. Playing
for the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior
Hockey League, Fraser just wrapped up their preseason
schedule with a 4-1 record. The Oil Barons regular season kicks off Friday when they host the Grand Prairie
Storm.
Hobson just started his freshman year at the University of Lethbridge. He selected that institution to be with
friends and be close to family. He is in the education

Heart and Stroke Foundation.
We both have families with heart issues, so we
thought it would be important to give to them, said
Fraser.
Running a charity tournament is no walk around the
bases. With limited funds for year-round maintenance
of the field, Hobson and Fraser are on the field weeks
beforehand, making sure they are in game shape.
There are also a beer gardens and kitchen area that
need setting up, along with finding enough teams to
run the tournament. The toughest part might be naming the tournament; both men have yet to place a name
for the new tradition.
Hobson and Fraser have yet to win their own tournament, but they are in it for the money raised and to
have a good time. Hobson doesnt have a favourite position on the field but loves to step up to the dish to try
and crank one, while Fraser loves playing centre field.
There is a cash prize of $500 for the winners, $300
for second place and $150 for third, but each year the
winnings have been donated back to the tournament
and the charities.
If any teams are interested in signing up in next years

Wheatland embarks on 25th season

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

While the colour of their hockey
socks were different, they all wore the
same jersey for the Wheatland Warriors in their exhibition tournament
last weekend at the Strathmore Family
Centre, kicking off the 25th season of
Wheatland hockey.
There was a little more buzz around
this camp, as the local double-A bantam team begin their South Central Alberta Hockey League title defence.
It bodes well for the organization
and creates a little bit more excitement
in the arena after winning last year,
said Warriors head coach Cody Brown.
The Warriors selected players for
three games while coaches try to figure out who they will take for the
South Central Alberta Hockey League
season. They finished the weekend going 1-1-1.
The Warriors tied the Calgary Buffs
3-3 Friday night, conquered the Foothills Bison 8-2 Saturday morning, and
fell 2-0 to the Okotoks Oilers Saturday

evening.
Kobe Gosling led the Warriors with
two goals and two assists, while Austin Kuryk netted three goals, Nolan
Bailey supplied a goal and two helpers and Carter Murdick bagged a pair
of goals.
These games were a little bit of a
faster pace for the kids and we wanted to see how they reacted in a different dynamic, said Brown.
Codys father, Murray Brown, is entering his fourth season as president
of Wheatland Athletic Association and
prides himself with advancing players
in their young careers.
We got a lot of talent here; we will
only have two returning players from
last year, he said. We strive to send
our guys to AAA. We only want to see
them for one year.
Returning from the championship
squad are Keith Yellowfly and goaltender Logan Grant.
At a tournament like this, we were
more concerned on how guys fit in
rather than the score, said Cody

Brown. We want to see where the
new guys are sitting and try out different line combos.
The Warriors held an inner squad
game and selected players from that
to play in the tournament. There was a
final practice Monday night with final
cuts made afterwards.
The Warriors open the season on
the road at Murray Arena in Okotoks,
Friday, Sept. 23. The Warriors play
their first home game against the West
Central Tigers Sunday, Sept. 25.
While the bantam and midget teams
are still slimming down their roster
size, the peewee Wheatland Braves
have their team locked in for the season following their exhibition tournament in Okotoks last weekend.
Unlike other coaches, Keith Klemmensen didnt hand pick any players;
he had his team selected for him by a
group of highly respected and trusted
individuals.
I prefer not to have coaches pick
their team, I let outsiders pick, said
Klemmensen. I had a group of about

five experienced hockey guys not associated with Wheatland come down
and take a look. They dont have any
kids in the program or an axe to grind;
they are just hockey lovers.
The Braves didnt fare much better
than the Warriors, losing 8-3, 8-3 and
8-5, but just like Brown and his crew,
Klemmensen could care less about the
score at this point.
I just watched to see the potential
in guys and where they can get to going forward, said Klemmensen.
Now with the team selected, the
Braves will have plenty of practice
time available before their home
opener against the Olds Grizzlys Sept.
23 at the Strathmore Family Centre.
Right now, Im just going to focus
on building foundations. We will practice twice on Saturday and move forward from there, said Klemmensen.
Meanwhile, the Wheatland Chiefs
midget AA teams training camp began Sept. 12 at the Strathmore Family
Centre.
Bisons decide on roster

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The bleachers were packed as fans
filed into the subarctic Strathmore
Family Centre for the first time to lay
their eyes on the 40 hopeful players
in the Red and White exhibition game,
determining who might play for the
CFR Bisons this winter.
Theres always interest in this
game, said Bisons head coach Sandy
Henry, who enters his fourth season
with the organization. Its great to see
the fans come out and support these
kids and get a look at what the team
might look like.
The fans were treated to a fastpaced, energized exhibition game as
the White team skating past the Red
team 5-2.
I thought the game started out a
little shaky, the guys were probably
nervous putting on the Bisons jersey
for the first time, said Bisons general manager Wayne Hansen. We were
treated in the second and third periods when the players opened up and
showed us their talents.
While the score was important,
the coaching staff and players had
the thought of another round of cuts
looming in the back of their minds.

Following the game, Henry and his
staff released a large group of players.
Cuts are always tough and theyll
continue to get tougher and tougher
as we move along, said Bisons assistant coach Paden Grant, who is experiencing his first camp as a member of
the coaching staff.
It wont be a fun day, but its necessary, added Henry, who has had two
sons pass through the Bisons organization.
Of the six goalies in camp, Ben Laidlaw was watching from the stands and
successfully made it to the next round.
It can be an awkward scenario for
some, playing with and against players
that are competing for the same roster position, but for Laidlaw, its no big
deal.
Most of us know each other from
coming here year after year and having met through other tournaments
like Alberta Cup, said Laidlaw, who is
in his third camp with the Bisons. So
yeah, youre competing against each
other but youre all buddies.
While goalies dont need as much
chemistry to prevail during a showcase game, forwards and defencemen
need to know the general area and

Centre on Sept. 11.

ideas of their linemates to complete a

successful shift.
Colton Cameron, who sniped nine
goals and 19 points with the Airdrie
Lightning of the SCAHL last season,
netted a goal and an assist in the feature game.
You want to work hard and play
well with the guys out there and hopefully something works out, said Cameron, who also survived the cuts following the game.
Wheatland County will be represented strongly with this seasons version
of the Bisons. Henry figures at least
half of the kids on his final roster will
be local.
We got a lot of good players here
and they are all good guys; the surrounding associations have been represented by top quality players. It makes
this decision hard, but at the same time

thats what we want, said Henry.
Players can breathe easy, for a little
while. The Bisons have released a roster for the Strathmore Invitational Tournament that begins Thursday, Sept. 15
as the Bisons host the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs.
The Bisons have the full tournament schedule posted on their website
along with a roster. The roster will not
shrink prior to the tournament, but
names could be added as other Junior
A camps whittle down their rosters this
week. The tournament runs through
the weekend with a consolation and
a championship game Sunday at the
Strathmore Family Centre.
The Bisons open the regular season
at home with the Lethbridge Hurricanes Saturday, Oct. 1.

Jordan K.
It is with immense sadness we announce the passing of our son, Jordan

K. McKinnon at his home near Strathmore, AB on Saturday, September 10, 2016 at the age of 18 years due
to a medical condition. He is the absolute joy and love
of his parents Wayne and Allison McKinnon of Strathmore, AB; along with his brothers Lachie of Carseland,
AB and Kyle of Strathmore, AB. Jordan is also survived by his grandmothers, Grandma Farm Muriel
McKinnon of Carseland, AB and Grandma City Betty
Harrison of Calgary, AB; his paternal family: Uncle &
Aunt, Brian and Teri McKinnon of Carseland; his maternal family: Aunt & Uncle, Jo-Ann and George Neubert, Aunt Sheila Shaw, Uncle & Aunt Brock and Barb
Harrison, all of Calgary, AB, Aunt Gail Harrison of Katy,
Texas; several Aunts and Uncles, cousins and great
cousins of Carseland, Calgary, and Strathmore, AB
and Manotick, ON; and predeceased by his Grandpa
Farm, Donald Keith McKinnon of Carseland in 2001
and his Grandpa City Donald Keith Harrison of Calgary in 2002. Jordan came into this world six weeks
early and a prized-fighter, weighing in at a massive
4lbs 6oz! I know that we all find this a truly amazing statistic for our Goon, Bottomless Pit, Eating
Machine etc. Jordan truly provided challenges from
the start. He was cherished by his family and adopted
families, spoiled rotten by his grandparents, and later
those who got to know the real Jordan. Although unconditionally loved by his big brother Lachie and little
brother Kyle you could occasionally see a smoky red
sky to the south of Strathmore. All three of the boys
were raised in arenas. As anyone who knows kids in
minor sports there is usually a lot of windshield time
involved. We are fortunate that many road trips were
made with other teammates parents and kids which
resulted in life-long friendships. Youre always hoping the arena has a concession that is open to serve
somewhat bearable coffee or hot chocolate made
with good town water that didnt give you the runs
by mid-second period. Jordan was a lovable kid. Although he sometimes ranted and raved that he didnt
have any friends (mostly because it was just one of
those days/weekends when every one was busy), we
certainly beg to differ considering the outpouring of
emails, social media posts and phone calls. All of
Wayne and Allisons children have been raised with
the emphasis of love, caring, compassion and the
odd threat of consequences for their actions. Jordans
first love before lacrosse was hockey because of his
dad and brother. He was an avid sports enthusiast
loving hockey, box lacrosse and field lacrosse. He
was a zealous competitor. Everything Jordan set his
mind to he put more than 100% into. He was always
the earliest, the hardest working and most coachable
player in the arena. He had something indescribable,
that heart-filled drive. If we had 20 players exactly
like Jordan, the team would never lose a game. Jordan played for the Strathmore Storm, Strathmore
Venom, Zone 2 Bantam Summer Games, Okotoks
Midget A Raiders, Rockyview Midget A Rage, Silvertips Jr B1, Raiders Jr A, Team Alberta Field, Mustang
Starz Elite, WestCoast Starz & High Rollers. Jordan
was coaching and mentoring younger lacrosse players with Mustang Lacrosse and just about to begin
his 2016 season with the Mustang Starz Elite team.
Jordan had just returned from winning a bronze
medal at Field Lacrosse Nationals with Team Alberta.
He was entering his final year of high school, preparing to head to the University of Montana to show
his powerful spirit to the lacrosse community there.
A colourful Celebration of Jordans life will be held in
the Strathmore Civic Centre (120 Brent Blvd, Strathmore, AB) on Sunday, September 18, 2016 at 1:00
pm. We encourage you to wear your team jerseys or
pinnies. A private inurnment will be held at Mountain
View Memorial Gardens at a later time. The family
thankfully acknowledges all messages of support and
appreciatively requests in lieu of flowers and food,
donations can be made to Mustang Starz, Box 14,
Black Diamond, AB, T0H 0H0 or to Epilepsy Canada,
2255B Queen Street East, Suite 336, Toronto, Ontario,

It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Gerard

Allore in Strathmore, Alberta on September 7, 2016
at the age of 66 years. Peter was born in Peterborough, ON on February 27, 1950 to his proud parents,
Rita and Frank Allore. Known by the nickname Tor
to his hometown buds, his early adult years were
spent happily pursuing a freewheeling lifestyle that
entailed working hard and socializing hard! In the
summer of 1974, in search of the great-adventure,
he mounted his trusty motorcycle and headed west
to Alberta and a new life. In Calgary, while working
at Eatons Canada, he met and married the love of
his life, Darlene Warcomika. Eventually, they moved
to Strathmore where they lovingly raised two beautiful daughters, Brandy and Amanda. Over the years,
Peters devotion to his family only deepened with
the birth of his beloved grandchildren, Isabelle and
Owentwo new kids to play with! Apart from family
and friends, Peter also had a soft spot in his heart
for his cats and his motorcycleshe was always
happy when both were purring! Peter was predeceased by his parents, Rita (nee Gabourie) and Frank
Allore. He is survived by Darlene, his devoted wife of
35 years; daughters Brandy Allore of Beijing, China
and Amanda Allore (Paul Craig) of Strathmore area;
grandchildren Isabelle Craig and Owen Craig; sister
Sharon OToole (Jim) of Exeter, ON; and brother Jack
Allore of Calgary. In addition, he will be dearly missed
by nieces Jennifer Allore (Wesley Balla), Patricia
OToole-Terhune (Brian), and Chrissy Ewanchuk (Andrew); nephew Greg OToole (Genevieve); and many
friends and acquaintances. At Peters request, no services are planned. To send condolences, please visit
