A 2.5 acre parcel of land in Wheatland County is

being considered to house a munitions storage site.
If accepted by Wheatland County council, it will be
the largest munitions storage facility currently operating in Alberta.
The facility would supply ammunition to hunting
stores, sporting clubs, the RCMP and police departments, the military and parks departments. Security,
fire and emergency response plans will be submitted
to emergency services and the county.
It is high time we had a business such as this in
Alberta, said Anthony Aleksic, managing director of
Metak Distributing Ltd. and security consultant and
ballistics expert.
Here on the Prairies, we are underserved when
it comes to munitions, fireworks and high explosive storage. We feel this will help men and women
in uniform, giving them the best tools available so
they can to do their jobs and it will be done out of
Wheatland County. We are providing a service for
the private and public sector. This is community and
economic development and we are ready for it, said
Aleksic.
He told council the facility will provide taxes and
jobs in Wheatland County.
While some of the setback requirements for facilities handling volatile products in an Industrial General designation were met, there were two setbacks
that staff felt did not meet county guidelines for adjacent residences. The owner has adhered to all requirements set out by the federal government for a
munitions facility.
Jim Cammaert, who has experience dealing with
explosives and fireworks, appeared in council to
support the developers of the facility and clarified
that the fear of explosions should not be a factor in
councils decision, as it is regulated by the federal
government and there will be no black powder on
site.
Am I for it? Absolutely, said Cammaert. Is it safe?
Absolutely.
There was some discussion whether the designation would be more appropriate under Heavy Industrial, which is supported in an area west of Carseland; however, staff felt the suggested site could be
allowed as proposed if conditions for setbacks, environment and safety were in place. The full proposal
can be seen under the Wheatland County website
Oct. 18 agenda attachments.
Staff spoke with Natural Resources Canada about
safety and regulations for a facility of this size. There
are inspections annually of munitions sites by Natural Resources Canada and they can request alterations to the business and its location if necessary.

The Standard Municipal Library has recently decided to
take on a more active role in
showcasing local art and talent.
The library started off this
new venture by displaying
canvas prints produced by local photographer Adelle Ellis
from Adelle Ellis Photography
over the last few
weeks.
Adreena Harder, librarian at
the
Standard
Municipal
Library, said the librarys board chair suggested
Adelle have her showing at
the library, which I thought
was fabulous.
Harder added that the library has space for local artists to use, including a display case in the middle of the
room.
Ellis was born and raised
on a farm just north of Standard and has been involved
with photography over the
last 10 years. She took the
two-year SAIT journalism
program from 2012 to 2014
and majored in photojournalism.
I think living in the area
has kind of helped me develop my style, said Ellis.
The photographer said she
likes doing western shots
and anything country or outdoors. However, Ellis also
does a wide variety of other
photography.
My absolute favourite
thing to take pictures of is
people, so thats where definitely my niche is, she said.
Im able to help them create
something that they can keep
for years and years.
Ellis said this is the first
time shes really tried showcasing her photographs. She
was getting a lot of Facebook
messages about her prints so

Backing Trees, private yard, 3 bed,
1.5 bath open concept main with

fenced yard!!
she decided to blow up the

prints and see how people react to them.
Ellis started seriously taking pictures when she was
16. At that time, she talked
with the principal of her high
school about setting up a
photography program for the
school and this idea eventually became a reality.
Since finishing the photojournalism program at SAIT,
Ellis has been
working on photography projects for a few
different companies and has also
been freelancing. However, with a slow oil
patch, photography work for
the steel construction company she worked at dried up so
she has since decided to go
in another direction.
I decided to try and [photograph] more people and see
if I could sell some prints,
she said.
Ellis moved her prints out
of the library on Oct. 14
and showcased them at the
Standard Municipal Librarys
28th annual ham and oyster
supper fundraiser and silent
auction, held that same evening. She donated one of her
prints, featuring a crocus, at
the silent auction, with proceeds raised to go towards
the Standard Municipal Library.
Harder said the library
wants to continue to try to
bring in several different artists of all different types.
They want to get the word
out that we have a lot of talent in our community, Ellis
said. Its good to bring people into the library to come
and see what they have and
maybe get people into visiting more, and its good for
the artists too.
Harder noted the library is
able to showcase a wide variety of different local artists.

Strathmore native provides search and rescue in Haiti

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Strathmore native Kari Fulton, along
with members of the Canadian Search
and Disaster Dogs Association (CASDDA), arrived back in Canada on Oct.
26 after providing search and rescue
services in Haiti after the devastating
hurricane rocked the region on Oct. 4.
Fulton served as a support person to
team leader Silvie Montier of Edmonton
and her Belgian Malinois named Cken,
and Teresa Thorpe of Lloydminster and
her yellow Labrador Retriever, Belle.
The team was assigned to find 52
missing people after first arriving in
Jrmie, Haiti.
Our main job was to search for missing people, said Fulton. Unfortunately, most of the areas with the missing
people were not accessible due to continuous rains.
The team ended up helping out in
whatever way possible. It distributed
food and conducted wound care as
well. It also continued searching for
people whenever it had the chance.
We were there to help; if the dogs
cant work the whole time, we just
stayed busy doing anything else anybody needed, said Fulton.
Fulton said the dogs worked very
hard on the Haiti mission.
Its a lot of time but its worth it,
she said.
This was Fultons first international
mission; she has been with CASDDA
for almost three years. However, shes
been on quite a few local and national
missions.
She described the trip as an incredible experience, but also recognized
that it was devastating, since people
were starving and homes were destroyed.
She described people living in caves
just to stay out of the rain and the construction of lean-tos to also help citi-
zens stay out of the rain.

The place was devastated, absolutely devastated, said Fulton.
The hurricane hit on the west side
of Haiti where all the significant agricultural area is, so many farmers lost
crops.
Aid has been coming in and Fulton
said the country is doing fine right now
with the aid pouring in. However, she
cautioned that once the aid stops, Im
not sure what theyre going to do. Its
unbelievably sad.
Fulton said that normally aid remains
for a few months; however, its hard to
tell how long the aid will be there and
it depends on the country.
Fultons first search and rescue was
looking for a missing firefighter in Breton, Alta., and she has been on three to
four water searches as well.
She likes to be able to help give closure to families who have lost their
loved ones.
Fulton currently lives in Edmonton
and trains approximately 16 hours a
week with her male Standard Poodle,
Recce. She will stay in Edmonton until Recce is old enough to become internationally certified at a year-and-ahalf. She then plans on moving back to
Strathmore.
Fulton said she got involved with
canine search and rescue because she
needed something more in her life.
Ive always loved dogs, Ive always
worked with the dogs and I wanted
to get into something with the dogs,
but agility and that kind of thing was
getting boring, so I needed something
more, she said.
CASDDA is based in Edmonton, with
teams or subdivisions in Cochrane,
Lloydminster and Grande Prairie. Everyone gets together at seminars a minimum of twice a year.
Fulton is very passionate about what
she does and describes it as a way of
life.

Shooting range approved

SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

Wheatland Conservation and Wildlife
shooting range has moved its range and
clubhouse locations. The new site will
re-designate five acres of Agriculture
General land to a Recreational designation, off of Range Road 252 and 1.9
miles northeast of Ardenode for use by
the gun club.
The designation is allowed under
Wheatland Countys discretionary use
in the minor recreational designations.
The previous landowner passed away
and the club decided to move locations.
Construction had begun in the spring
of 2016, but the required permits were
not in place. When considering permits
for this designation, County staff said
consideration should be paid to noise,
traffic, building use, environmental concerns and safety issues. The owner had
no problems meeting those requirements.
We do a lot of work in the community and it is an important part of the
community, said Carl Carlson, applicant
and spokesman for the Wildlife Conservation Association. With the amount of
work we have done in the county
this all rolls together and is part of our
youth program. We hope council is with
us on this.
It was pointed out that private owners
hunting or shooting on their own prop-
erty differs from a concentrated activity that takes place in a shooting range,
and the county has the ability to place
restrictions on concentrated activity.
There is a wetland on one end of the
property and Alberta Environment had
concerns that perhaps the lead pollution through airborne dust and residual
casings may be a concern to wildlife
and in runoff water from the property.
However, the range is situated where
cleanup could be done and the wetland is further than the 200-metre range
that shooting would reach. Coun. Don
Vander Velde said that lead shot has not
been used as ammunition for a number
of years, and most shot is made from
steel.
Staff suggested spot zoning might be
a solution to accommodate the range
and clubhouse; however, subdivision
would be the preferable condition.
There were three letters of support by
neighbouring landowners and one present in council. He pointed out there is
a lot of hunters in the community who
support the club.
A site evaluation was done by the
province and Carlson needed council to
approve the first reading, so that applications can be made to the provincial
firearm officer and the project can move
forward. Second and third reading was
passed by council with consideration of
the proposed map options put forward
by Wheatland County planning staff.

Early studies of e-cigarettes in Canada show that

10% of students had used them during the past
year, usually not as a method of stopping smoking
of regular tobacco cigarettes. Some students cited
them as being cool. They are still not legal in
Canada but there is a worry that they will create more
nicotine addicts.
Work on the development of a universal flu
vaccine is continuing. Researchers have identified
three types of vaccine-induced antibodies that can
neutralize diverse strains of the flu virus that infect
humans. It may be a few years yet before we see
this universal vaccine but in the meantime, get your
flu shot this season. The more people that get it, the
better it is for our whole community.
Speaking of the flu, how can you tell the difference
between a cold and the flu? Flu symptoms include
fever, headache, severe aches and pains, fatigue,
chest discomfort and occasionally stuffy nose, sore
throat and severe cough. With a cold, fever and
headache are rare, some slight aches with a stuffy
nose, sneezing and sore throat as well as a mild to
moderate hacking cough.
There was a quiz in a magazine lately that asked
which lifestyle habit was most likely to contribute to
successful aging. The choices were: breakfast; 7-8
hours of sleep nightly; optimism; social contact with
others; all of the above. The answer, of course was
all of them. How are you doing with your aging?
There is so much research going in the world of
medicine and pharmacy. Pharmacist keep current
with this research to serve you better.

Munitions storage site approved

Continued from Page 1
Staff still suggested an alternate location would be preferable, subdivision or
a limitation of facility size, and a smaller
amount of hazardous material held in
stock was encouraged.
The owner would prefer not to move
the location and does not desire to subdivide the parcel out of his holdings,
although staff indicated that this would
be preferable for county planning and
future development. A Direct Control
designation would give council more
options for approval conditions.
Another concern was that the location
lies adjacent to two water courses. If
there is no subdivision requested, staff
cannot mandate environmental studies
be completed. While the owner suggested he will supply a biologist to attend
the public hearing, staff agreed the biologists findings should be peer reviewed.
There were also some discrepancies
with the supplied site plan. Berms are
in the plan and will be erected around
the facility. Staff were concerned that
they may alter water courses.
These significant setbacks are
in place due to the
hazardous nature
of this particular use, and the type and

nature of the munitions stored, stated
Colton Nickel, Wheatland County intermediate planner. Staff appreciates this
is a particularly challenging use to find a
location for and we appreciate the merit
of the proposal in finding a remote, unobtrusive location that is within easy access to major transportation routes.
Council passed second reading,
Coun. Don Vander Velde opposed.
Council passed third and final reading
with Coun. Ben Armstrong and Coun.
Vander Velde opposed. The owners and
munitions operator will be required to
provide additional information to
council when they
proceed with the
development permit.

Miracle on 34th Street in Rosebud:

Believing, finding home
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor

Miracle on 34th Street opens in Rosebud Theatre, Nov. 11.
The story ultimately is a story about belief,
said director Paul Muir. What does it mean to
believe? Of course, its about believing in Santa
Claus, or even you could say the spirit of Saint
Nick, of what Kris Kringle represents.
Its also about much more.
The other gorgeous thread that runs through it
is this meaning of home, he said. The nature of
home, the meaning of home and how important
it is for us.
That theme is as timely now, Muir said, as in
1947, when the first Miracle on 34th Street movie
was released.
So many people feel like they dont have that
sense of home, he said. Were always kind of
reaching for it or looking for it. Were looking for
a place that is home for us, that is, that sense of
where we belong. And a huge part of this journey
is about a group of people searching for home.
When you
couple
that
with the story
of belief, Muir
added, if were
really going to
believe in what
the spirit of
Kris Kringle is
actually about,
then wed better
believe
theres a place
for us as well,
because
the
two go together. Sometimes it does take a kind of miracle.
Muir is pleased with the cast and crew helping
him tell the story of this miracle.
Im totally thrilled with Tim Dixon whos coming in from Nanaimo to do Kris Kringle, he said.

CELEBRATION OF LIGHTS
Dixon started preparing for the role as soon as

he accepted it.
He was going to start growing his beard at the
early part of the year, because of course, we wanted a real beard, Muir said. So wed have these
e-mail discussions about what kind of beard it
should be, how long it should be. Every couple of
months, hed send me a photo of how the beard
is coming along.
Dixons preparation also went deeper, looking
into Kris Kringles historical background, listening
to the recorded speech of a Dutch-born Canadian
man and learning that dialect.
We havent even gotten to rehearsal, Muir said,
(but) already Kris Kringle is all about the deep
authenticity of who this man is.
Cassia Schramm, a 2011 grad, plays Doris Walker. Jordan Cutbill, a 2004 graduate, plays Walkers
boyfriend, Fred Gailey. Hannah Andersen and
Kaia Rose Wilson, Rosebud children, play Walkers
daughter Susan, and Asher Eliuk, a young Rosebud boy, is also in the show.
To have kids in the show and have these (RSA)
students as well as these seasoned RSA grads,
Muir said, as well as seasoned professionals (like)
Tim Dixon, its a
great cross-section of cast.
If youre looking for Christmas
this Christmas,
truly, come to
Rosebud,
he
added. Christmas is about
belief. Its about
family. Its about
home. I believe
this story will
deliver that.
Miracle on 34th Street opens Nov. 11 in Rosebuds Opera House, and runs until Dec. 23. Matinee and evening performances include a meal.

Christmas Hamper kicks off Nov. 12

JEAN BUTHFER
Strathmore & Wheatland County
Christmas Hamper Society Secretary

The Strathmore & Wheatland County
Christmas Hamper Society kicks off its
2016 campaign on Saturday, Nov. 12.
This will be the 31st year the Society
has delivered generous Christmas hampers to the needy families in Strathmore
and Wheatland County.
The original idea started in 1981
when The Happy Gang heard of a
familys financial plight and gave out
one hamper. In 1985, the society was
formed as a charity and has carried on
the tradition of assisting families to enjoy a better Christmas than they would
have otherwise had.
Craig Stone, society chairperson, says
its business as usual, although this year
may prove to be the biggest yet. With so
many Albertans out of work, the society
is looking at providing approximately
300 hampers this year. That figure is 20
per cent more than last year, which was
a record in itself.
Community Coat
program underway
JEAN BUTHFER
Strathmore & Wheatland County
Christmas Hamper Society Secretary

With the approach of colder weather,
the Strathmore & Wheatland County
Christmas Hamper Society, the charity
behind the Community Coat Program,
has announced this years program is
underway.
The program is run with the cooperation of the Strathmore FCSS staff and
the coat racks are located in the lobby
of the Lambert Building (the library
building) at 85 Lakeside Blvd.
With the kickoff of the program, the
society is now asking local residents
to check their closets and storage to
donate any new or gently used winter
coats, boots, toques and gloves.
Anyone in need of those items and
living in Strathmore or Wheatland
County are welcome to look and help
themselves to whatever fits themselves
or their familys needs. We would ask,
however, that you only take what you
actually require; please dont take an
armful.
This very valuable community program is in dire need of coats and the
program will run from now until midMarch or whenever the weather turns
warmer.
So the challenge is there for the communities to step up to the plate, open
their hearts and wallets and repeat the
past few years of generous giving.
Each hamper will contain generous
amounts of food and toys, with food
in sufficient quantities to last a typical
family well into the New Year.
None of this could be achieved without the valuable support of the local
schools, churches, service clubs, businesses and countless volunteers.
Collection points for food and toys
will be set up around Strathmore and
the surrounding villages. Monetary donations can be mailed to The Strathmore
& Wheatland County Christmas Hamper
Society, c/o Strathmore FCSS, 680 Westchester Road, Strathmore, Alta., T1P 1J1.
The typical family we assist is usually
where both parents are working but
their budget is stretched to the point of
breaking and there is little, if anything,
left over for Christmas presents for the
children or extra food for Christmas
dinner.
Volunteers are always needed to sort
food and toys; please register with the
Strathmore FCSS at 403-934-9090.
In Strathmore and Wheatland County
we can be proud that we are right up
there at the top of generous giving at
Christmas time in the whole of Canada,
not just Alberta.
Canada Revenue Agency statistics
placed us second in 2014 against the
West Coast Christmas Hamper Society
in Victoria, B.C. with them beating us
by only $8,000 in giving. Now thats like
comparing David and Goliath!

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor

Rosebud Church invites everyone to the fifth annual Art
Dahlen Memorial Polka Mass, a service of worship and communion set to polka music, Nov. 6 at 11 a.m.
Art Dahlen was a Lutheran pastor and musician who loved
God, loved his family, loved music, said Shauna Murphy,
who coordinates the annual Polka Mass.
What was important in his life was scripture and cleartelling as a pastor, a pastoral message, said Dahlens son-in-

law, LaVerne Erickson.

In the late 1990s, Dahlen met Father Frankie
Perkovich, whod written the Polka Mass.
(Art) just heard it and was totally taken by it,
Murphy said.
Dahlen and his brothers got a Polka Mass cassette and notated the music, modifying the lyrics
to fit a Protestant service.
He said to me one day, Shauna, theres this
thing called the Polka Mass. I really think we
should do that, Murphy said. Polka Mass? Im
thinking, what? Ive never heard those two words
together. He says, yeah, Ill give you a tape.
I listened to it and I thought this is crazy. Polka
music. Liturgy. Polka and liturgy. It feels like opposing ideas, she said. But I said, you are so
right, Art. We should do this thing.
They discussed venues.
But talk is cheap, Murphy said. We talked and
talked and we didnt do anything.
Dahlen was diagnosed with cancer, and it became terminal, but the Polka Mass was still on his
mind. About a month before Dad passed away,
my sister and I were with him and he talked about
funeral arrangements and the Polka Mass, said
his daughter Arlene Erickson in an e-mail. He
even had suggestions for what should be served
for a lunch following. He wanted to be sure that
one day it would be done in Rosebud and hed
chosen Shauna Murphy to see it through.
Dahlen passed away in 2011, and soon afterward, Arlene Erickson brought to Murphy her fathers Polka Mass cassettes and written music.
The next fall, 2012, was our first Art Dahlen
Memorial Polka Mass, Murphy said. I was only
sad that he wasnt with me. I had a lot of questions.
She was surprised to discover that Scott Heatcote, a young man working in Rosebud, had
played accordion in the Polka Mass when he was
growing up.
So he was my Art Dahlen, Murphy said. That
was like a God-given gift to me. He came along
and he helped lead us.

Bill Daugherty, Connie Canfield and a band of

accordionists from Three Hills joined them, along
with Bill Hamm on guitar, LaVerne Erickson on
tone bells and Murphy on piano. The musicians
return every year, even Heatcote, who drives from
Edmonton.
(The) polka music is so infectious, Murphy
said. Coupled with the words of faith, your basic
words of faith. We sing all of that to this music
thats so uplifting. I mean, it was about the most
joy-filled service Ive ever been part of.
I dont think you can come out there without
smiling ear to ear, she added. I just see a big
bunch of joy in the congregation too. Thats what
the music does to the words. And what a sound,
that many accordions can pretty much blow the
wall off the church.
At each Polka Mass, Murphy is glad to see Arlene Erickson and her family in the congregation.
Its just a nice tribute to their grandpa and their
dad that we do it in his memory, Murphy said.
This years Polka Mass will also be a memorial
of another kind for Murphy, as its the birthday
of her mother, Nomy Hite, who passed away in
February.
(Mom) opened the door for my music, Murphy
said. Shes a very big part of me, no matter if shes
living or gone.
Everyone is welcome at the Art Dahlen Memorial Polka Mass. The service will be followed by a
meal, at which guests are also welcome.

Busy time for chamber

JILL CROSSLAND
Strathmore & District Chamber of Commerce
Marketing & Communications Director

It has been a busy month for the Chamber. We
kicked things off with a lively and successful Fun
Casino at the Legion. We couldnt have done it
without the support of local businesses who
sponsored the tables and donated auction items.
Food for the Veterans Food Bank in Calgary was
also collected, but news reports indicate demand
has grown and shelves are nearly bare. During a
recent interview with CTV they talked about how
our veterans are struggling and with the younger
vets not finding work demand for hampers has
doubled since last year.
The 10th Annual Veterans Food Drive is currently being held from Nov. 1-15.
People can drop off non-perishable food items
and cash at:
Veterans Food Bank: 4539 6 Street N.E. Calgary
Crown Surplus - 1005 11 Street S.E. Calgary
Aero Space Museum of Calgary - 4629 McCall
Way NE. Calgary
Any Royal Canadian Legion
As the month progressed we celebrated Small
Business Week with ongoing events. The Grand
Opening of the new Chamber office had a great
turn out, we were pleased to see local business
persons reconnecting and meeting new business
owners for the first time.
Lunch was provided. Kims Katering had a va-
riety of sandwiches enjoyed by all and Nut Out

Cakes donated delicious cupcakes. We appreciate Mayor Michael Ell and town council spending
time at the opening and helping us cut the ribbon.
The Oct. 27 Meet & Mingle at Hobs Hobbies on
Second Avenue was also their grand opening. The
evening event provided an opportunity to meet
the owner, John Hilton, and see all this unique
Strathmore store has to offer.
Unfortunately there was not a good turnout
for Ryan Tongs World Financial Group Lunch &
Learn. Those who did attend found the topic an
Entrepreneur in Todays Economy helpful. We are
working on new Lunch & Learns plus Breakfast &
Learns for 2017. We realize these take time away
from your business but we always endeavour to
provide topics that will leave you energized and
better informed about ways to help your company.
Marketing, strategic business planning and business taxes are among the relevant topics planned
for January and February. Plus, we will reconnect
with Ryan Tongs to talk more on financial planning. March will also be our second annual Not
your Grandfathers AMG an evening of Craft Beer,
Guest Speakers and AGM stuff.
By attending these events you support not only
the Strathmore & District Chamber, but also the
business community. Together we get stronger.

Great concern for cattle industry

FROM THE OFFICE OF MARTIN SHIELDS

The recent finding of bovine tuberculosis in
southeastern Alberta is of great concern to ranchers, cattle producers and all involved in the cattle
industry, as well as Martin Shields, Member of Parliament for Bow River.
Thirty ranches have been quarantined thus
far, and we expect more could be added later by
the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA),
said Martin Shields, MP of the Bow River Riding.
Many of these ranches are in the County of Newell, in the Bow River constituency.
Shields is concerned about the timelines that
the CFIA adheres to to clear quarantined ranches.
Human resources at CFIA reflected in the number
of inspectors working to clear ranches could hinder and prolong the process, leaving many in the
cattle sector in a bind.
I am concerned that many ranchers covered by
The War Amps 2016 address labels

are being mailed to Alberta residents
starting this week. Three-year-old
Colton Sheppard, of Strathmore,
was born missing part of both feet
and is a member of the War Amps
Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.
Through public support of the Key
Tag and Address Label Service,
child amputees receive the artificial
recreational limbs and devices they
need to lead a full and active childhood and achieve future independence. Sheppard is shown holding
some of the address labels that are
available from the War Amps.

the quarantine will be stuck scrambling for feed

and water for cattle that they did not anticipate
having, said Shields. These cattle cant be moved
under the order of CFIA, until they are satisfied
there is no TB present.
Compensation for ranchers who are covered by
the quarantine is also an issue.
These are tough economic times in Alberta.
The government must clarify whether those stuck
with cattle forced to endure high unexpected
costs due to the quarantine will be covered for
the cost of feed and water, and more, he said. I
and my team will be working to seek clarification
and answers from the government on the issue of
TB in cattle in southeastern Alberta.
If you are affected by this quarantine and wish
to share your concerns, please contact Andrew in
the Ottawa office at 613-992-0761. Shields office
will pass concerns on to the minister of health, as
well as the minister of agriculture.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
High utility rates

To the Editor
In reply to article Town responds to high utility
bill complaints, Strathmore Times, Sept. 16.
I agree with Mr. Mel Tiede that with water becoming an ever increasingly important commodity,
we need to do our part to conserve this important
resource.
However, only water usage was discussed in the
article. There was no mention of a Maintenance
Levy, Water Conveyance Levy, Sewer Levy or the
Garbage Levy which also makes up our total utility bill. Lets look at the Sewer Levy, the highest cost
on the bill. This is calculated by a flat rate of $24.46
per month, plus $1.60 M3 water coming in through
the water meter. On average during the non-growing
season, lets say we use 10 M3. This would be normal
household usage. Now during the summer growing
season, lawns, trees, gardens, etc., we may average
20 M3.
Our household usage shouldnt change that much.
Now the additional 10 M3 of water coming through

the meter is used for yard usage which is not going
down the sewer. Yet we still pay a flat $24.46 and
a variable of $1.60 M3 for those 10 M3. By this calculation we in essence are paying $3.65 M3. I have
talked to concerned citizens of Strathmore, that have
lived in small communities and larger cities, all say
the same, that the cost of Sewer Levy in those communities was, on average, about half of their Water
Conveyance Levy.
And why do we have a $24.46 Flat Sewer charge,
when calculated is $122,300 per month based on
5,000 water meters in the community. Does EPCOR
own the sewer treatment plant? Is that the reason for
these costs? These charges may be necessary; however there needs to be more transparency from Our
Town on this issue.

Remembering those who sacrificed for us

To the Editor
I am proud to be part of Operation Legacy, in
which members and graduates of The War Amps
Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program pass on the Remembrance message to the younger generation.
As Remembrance Day is fast approaching, I would
like to pay special tribute to all men and women
who have served in Canadas military, and especially
those who lost a limb or limbs in war.
I was born missing my right leg above the knee,
and have learned to overcome this challenge thanks
to programs put in place by amputee veterans of The
War Amps.
I am thankful for war amputee veterans because
they have helped pave the way for amputees in Canada. Because of them, the limbs we use today are
much more sophisticated and adapted to our daily
needs and activities. Even more importantly they
fought for our country and our freedom. I am thankful for all they have done to make sure Canada remains a peaceful country.
On Remembrance Day, please take a moment to
remember those who have and continue to serve. We
commemorate their lives and share their stories so
that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
Sincerely,

Strathmore schools recognized at We Day

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Select students from different Strathmore schools took part in WE Day at
the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary
on Oct. 26 with various world-renowned
guest speakers and A-list entertainers.
Strathmore High School was one
school amongst hundreds that was given special recognition this year.
WE Day is an annual youth empowerment event organized by Free the
Children. The event started in Toronto
in 2007 and is now held in cities across
Canada, the United States, and the UK.
WE Day motivates youth to take action
on local and global issues.
Strathmore High School teacher
Christine Magill said WE Day celebrates
volunteerism and how that can transform communities and change lives. She
characterized the day as a giant pep
rally for volunteering.
Magill spoke for two minutes on stage
at WE Day in front of thousands of students and teachers and talked about the
WE Schools program and how empowering it is for students.
She spoke about the transformation
she sees happen in kids when theyve
done the WE program at school.
It creates an opportunity for kids to
take action and change the world, she
said.
Students had to earn a seat to WE
Day by planning one local and one global action to help improve their community and the world. Twenty-six students
went from Strathmore High School. The
students learned the full impact of giving, since organizers relayed overall statistics from all the schools such as total
number of volunteer hours, cans of food
raised, monies donated to local charities
and monies donated to global charities.
The other part of the day was centered around how students can become
involved in the future and what the options are for getting involved.
Speakers talked a lot about how they
are passionate about the things theyre
involved in and how they learn to turn
their skills into action.
A lot of its about how to take what
youre good at and what youre passionate about and kind of combine those
two things, said Magill.
Speakers and performers at WE Day
in Calgary included Chris Hadfield, Rick
Hansen, Margaret Trudeau, Paula Abdul,
Brett Kissel and Classified.
Strathmore High School students received front stage seats to sit directly
in front of the stage and Magill said, It
was amazing.
The students cited astronaut Chris
Hadfield as one of their favourite speakers. He spoke about not seeing any
borders from space and this provided a
good perspective for the kids.
The students also loved the musical
performances and found it amusing
when Margaret Trudeau made a joke
about Donald Trump.
They thought that was pretty funny,
said Magill.
Strathmore High School has been
involved with the WE movement for a
long time. The schools first trip to the
Calgary WE Day was in 2010. The school
then started a club in the fall of 2010.
Magill loved the empowering environment.
I really feel that this year theyve
taken all the feedback from the last few
years and really incorporated all of that
in the stage design, the way they involve the sponsors and the kind of performances and speakers they have, she
said.
Magill added the students said that
its really cool because they feel so hap-

Six students from Holy Cross Collegiate attended the YouthSMART - Youth
Mental Health Summit for the first time
at the YouthLink Calgary Police Interpretive Centre on Oct. 20.
Holy Cross Collegiate teachers Sarah
Haughey and Carla Bisharat accompanied six Grade 10, 11 and 12 students
to the summit to learn more about mental health.
Haughey said they were asked to
take two students from each grade in
high school and we picked the students who we thought would be leaders in our school community and would
really help bring it back to the school
and come up with ideas to help the student population.
Haughey thought the summit was really informative. I thought it was really
good because there were really open
discussions on mental health, she said.
I think a lot of youth especially feel
like they cant talk about mental health
issues because there is a stigma around
it, so that was really good and eyeopening for the kids.
Keynote speaker Sheldon Kennedy
and three guest youth speakers who
have suffered with mental health and
mental health issues spoke to the summit delegates. They shared their stories
with the students and that was really
impactful, said Haughey, who added
some of the guest speakers had mostly
dealt with anxiety and eating disorders,
and most of them had struggled a bit
with suicidal thoughts.
Haughey said Kennedys speech was
excellent as he discussed his personal
journey and how this has now lead him
to dedicate his life to awareness and advocacy of mental health and wellness.
Kennedy believes that mental illness
does not define a person and would
like to help break the stigma that sur-

rounds mental health.

He was also very open about the fact
that your mental health impacts profoundly the people around you, said
Haughey.
Haughey said Kennedy would like
to encourage youth to be more open
regarding mental health issues and
would also like to encourage people to
be empathetic to those suffering from
mental health issues.
The summit talked about how mental
health illnesses are caused by chemical
imbalances in the brain and are considered an illness just like any other illness
such as asthma or epilepsy. Educators
maintain that mental wellness should
be part of everyday conversation.
During the summit, the Holy Cross
Collegiate students attended break-out
sessions on healthy relationships and
stress management. The students were
taught to identify some warning signs
of unhealthy relationships, but mostly
the teachings were geared towards
how to help peers or students who are
going through difficult times.
Haughey said the summit talked
about what students can do to keep
mentally well and the discussion talked
a lot about exercise, eating right and
talking to people.
The Holy Cross Collegiate students
were enlisted with the task of going
back to their school and helping to set
up concrete things that they can do
as a group to help with mental health
awareness and help stomp out the stigma involved.
I think the first year we will focus
on concrete strategies they can do during exams and to help students just
relax and not get too anxious, said
Haughey.
She added that it is helpful to just be
a little bit more aware of the strategies
you can do to keep mentally healthy.
Haughey said she wants to create an
environment at Holy Cross Collegiate
where kids dont feel like they have to
hide it, or they can say if they dont feel
OK and theyre having a hard time.
Ideas included handing out stress
kits to the student population and perhaps having a quiet room where students can go to decompress for a few
minutes.
Haughey said they can decide to focus on different things next year, but
for now, we just have to brainstorm
concrete things [students] can do to
help make our school more safe and
caring.

Searching for a healthcare solution for seniors

MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Debbie Wakelam, owner of Meadowlark Senior
Care Homes for the past 15 years, provides a private Alberta government licensed supportive living
facility - group home for nine seniors to live in
within the Strathmore neighbourhood of Hillview,
and she specializes in dementia patients.
Wakelam says she is disappointed with the level
of health services seniors in private facilities receive.
To make her concerns heard, Wakelam facilitated
a roundtable meeting Oct. 27 to discuss the services she provides to seniors under her care.
Im advocating for seniors rights and the rights
of all private operators, said Wakelam.
Her roundtable included Richard Gotfried, MLA
for Calgary-Fish Creek, Strathmore town councillor
Rocky Blokland, members of the community, and
residents and families of residents utilizing Meadowlarks senior care home.
Wakelam said seniors should be entitled to receive all the same health services regardless of
whether they are in a private or public homecare
setting. She said things such as bandages, flu shots,
day programs and nursing care fluctuate depending on private versus public care settings.
In the past, Alberta Health Services has said that
while doctors make regular on site visits to Meadowlark, there is no licensed practical nursing care
on site and Meadowlark does not employ any registered nurses.
AHS says this limits Meadowlarks ability to accept all levels of care, and therefore, Meadowlark is
not on the governments list of approved facilities.
However, Wakelam maintains that 24-hour nursing is not a requirement and her facility is still a
good option for some.
Wakelam said smaller environments work better
for residents with dementia because the setting is
familiar and they can more easily participate
and feel more a part of the community versus being in a large facility.
At the meeting, Gotfried asked Wakelam what
were the most important services she recognized
as not receiving. Her reply: Recognition that this is
the family members choice to live this way.
Wakelam went on to explain that it is hard to
say what services her seniors are not receiving because it depends on their own specific level of care
required.
However, she voiced concerns that if one of her
seniors ended up needing the homecare nurse to
come more often due to end-of-life care or a health
circumstance requiring more support, she would
not be certain the seniors in her small, private facility would be supported as well as they should be.
Norma-Jean Risdons father is at the facility,
which she described as being as close to home
as it gets.
Risdon and her dad prefer this type of homecare
setting.
Wakelam said her facility has lowered the use
of antipsychotic medications that seniors usually
come in on. In addition, she provides a two-to-nine
ratio of staff to seniors during the day and one-tonine staff member at night.
Wakelam is licensed by Alberta Seniors; however,
Gotfried said she is not well recognized, so he offered to reach out to the Minister of Seniors and
Housing and the Minister of Health to explain why
this is a problem and ask what they are going to
do about it.
Whether somebody is living in the same home

Richard Gotfried, MLA of Calgary Fishcreek, came to Meadowlark Care Home in Strathmore on Oct. 27 to discuss the
role that Alberta Health Services plays in providing services
for seniors care.

theyve lived in for 35 years or whether theyre here

as a resident, there should be no different treatment of the care they receive, he added. Theyre
penalizing you for being an operator that doesnt
fit their mold.
Gotfried said everyone is talking about aging in
communities, and where older people fit in homecare models. For some older folks, it may be a big
institution that fits their needs; but for others it
may be a small, home-type setting.
Its finding the best solution and then providing the best care wherever that is, said Gotfried.
Particularly seniors with dementia where familiarity is a huge positive. Why would you not want
them living in an environment that is comfortable
for them?
Families of patients with dementia will have to
assess the needs of their loved ones and decide
on the level of care needed along with the best
care option for their loved one. This may include a
smaller, home-like setting such as Meadowlark, or
a bigger setting with different care options.
Gotfried recognized that Wakelam is providing a
small, innovative type of model which the province
should be studying and supporting. Its not the
only way of the future, but I think its part of the
choice, he said.
Wakelam noted that in the UK and in Europe,
there are hundreds of thousands of this type of
senior homecare model.
Canada is so backwards, she said.
Gotfried speculated that Alberta Health Services
is looking at this seniors housing model as being
a bit of a problem right now instead of an opportunity.
Meadowlark is currently experiencing a piecemeal approach to its seniors, where a healthcare
worker may come in and look at only one senior
at a time. However, Wakelam thinks there should
be more of a comprehensive team effort where one
health care worker comes in and takes care of all
the seniors medications, physio and other needs.
Wakelam has had her fair share of frustrations.
Its been 16 years of a continual lack of cooperation between Alberta Health Services homecare
and a privately operated group home, she said.
Gotfried said there is very little risk involved for
the government to support some innovative pilot
projects such as Meadowlarks model, because if
they fail, the cost is low, and if they succeed then
senior homecare models can improve and be replicated.
Strathmore town councillor Rocky Blokland took
notes at the meeting to present to town council and
encouraged Wakelam to keep trying to improve seniors services.
Im just trying to say, dont give up. At Alberta
Health Services there are some people there that
listen sometimes, he said.

Magical Moms will work to provide

the food, 50/50s and the silent auction
for the show.
Van Bavel knows quite a few cancer
survivors who are planning on coming.
Its a very uplifting night, she said.
They have fun, they have an evening
out and yet theyre still doing something good.
Van Bavel said cancer survivors look
forward to coming to this event.
Its not something that constantly reminds them that theyre a cancer survivor or they have cancer, she said.
The Magical Moms group has known
a lot of friends and family that have
gone to the hospitals for cancer treatments and have heard feedback stating
there has been a shortage of beds for
patients requiring chemo treatments.
These patients would be more comfortable receiving treatments in a bed.
So in this type of situation, Van Bavel
and her group may ask the hospitals
to buy beds with monies raised. The
group helps direct fundraising efforts
to specific patients needs.
Van Bavel also cited other examples
where funds may be utilized to help
patients. For example, some patients
go into the hospital and are away from
their young children, so in this type of
circumstance it is nice to have a laptop
or iPad so the patients can Skype with
their family.
Van Bavel wants funds to go towards
whatever makes patients happy and
whatever the hospital feels that they
need for that.
Prior to starting with The Boob Tour,

Van Bavel was the team captain for the
Relay for Life team. But when that team
stopped coming to Strathmore, James
Uloth, who founded The Boob Tour,
contacted Van Bavel to ask if she wanted to be a part of the comedy tour.
Originally, the group donated money to the Canadian Cancer Foundation
and monies raised went to such things
as research and administration costs.
Now we just donate whatever we
raise to patient care and split it between the Drumheller Hospital and the
Tom Baker Cancer Centre, where the
cancer treatment happens, said Van
Bavel.
The Boob Tour is the one and only
fundraising event that Magical Moms
undertakes.
When the group first started six years
ago, it only sold approximately 60 seats
and didnt have enough money to cover the costs of the comedians. But the
comedians donated their time because
they wanted all money raised to go directly to the groups fundraising goal.
Magical Moms Patti Van Bavel, Shelly
Neal, Amy Hampton and Dallas Stickel
promise to deliver a fun night out at
the comedy show.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the
show will start at 8 p.m. Tickets will
be available at the door if not sold out
prior to the event.

access library services
MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

The Alberta government recently announced it
will provide more than $670,000 to six regional
library systems and three large urban libraries in
Alberta to cover non-resident library fees for individuals living in indigenous communities.
Prior to this announcement, individuals living
in indigenous communities were required to pay
a fee to access public library services. However,
the recent announcement dismisses this fee and
this new change is already in effect.
Marigold Library System, which covers Strathmore and south central Alberta, will see this new
funding. The system represents 36 libraries and
44 municipalities and stretches from the B.C. border to the Saskatchewan border, outside the city
of Calgary.
With funding that has now been provided to
regional library systems, it enables a person from
a reserve to come into any library and access resources and materials just like a resident who resides in a municipality, said Laura Taylor, assistant director with Marigold Library System.
Taylor explained that traditionally, persons who
resided on reserves were not given free access
to public libraries because reserves are federally
funded while public libraries are mainly funded
by provinces or municipalities.
Taylor said Marigold received funding to provide library services for the Siksika Nation and
the Stony Nakoda Nation. The library system will
focus on communicating the message of accessible library services to indigenous people and
will try to connect with schools to spread the
message.
Were really trying to reach out to the schools
as a first step and hopefully down the road be
able to connect and promote the library in different ways so that people become familiar with
what it is and whats available, said Taylor, who
added it is something libraries have been advocating and striving to have.

Richard Feehan, Albertas Minister of Indigenous Relations, said in a news release: All people
in Alberta, no matter where they live, should have
equitable access to public libraries. Removing
non-resident library fees is a small but important
step towards ensuring indigenous communities
have the same resources and opportunities as all
Albertans.
The cost of a family membership for indigenous
people used to be $70.
Its a huge cost for a public library service and
so it was a huge detriment to many people to use
the library for that reason, said Taylor.
For indigenous people who may not have used
the public library service in the past, there may
be some learning and awareness that needs to
take place.
Its going to take a bit of time to educate and
let people know what the public library is and
what services are available and how a public library works, said Taylor.
Some libraries charge a membership fee and
Taylor said this fee is usually $12; however, some
libraries dont charge a fee at all. Strathmore Municipal Library does charge a fee.
Under the new provincial coverage, local lending policies and procedures will still apply to
things such as overdue books; however, every library is different because they are autonomous.
Taylor said the library system has been acquiring materials that focus on First Nations individuals and are materials that are written by reputable
First Nations authors.
Its a way to provide awareness to the community about First Nations individuals and its also
for First Nations individuals to access these materials.
Taylor said that library system will be using
some of its funding to connect and identify delivered programming to the various First Nations.

Hawks clinch
first playoff

Expansion seasons are always difficult to predict no matter the sport.
The Holy Cross Collegiate (HCC) Hawks clinched a berth
into the B division playoffs for the Alberta 6 Man Football
League following their 54-32 dusting of the Provost Panthers (0-8) Oct. 28 at a damp Holy Cross Collegiate field.
We are very excited about our performance today and
now the opportunity to head to the playoffs, said Hawks
head coach Michael Annicchiarico.
HCC (3-4) held a pep rally the afternoon leading up to
the clinching game that featured face painting and a performance by the HCC drumline.
Today was a lot of fun, a lot of excitement got built up
and its nice to end our home season on a winning note,
said Annicchiarico.
The Hawks went 3-1 on home turf this season and carried a plus-30 point differential.
Annicchiaricos squad is turning things around at the
right time. The Hawks went through a stretch from midSeptember to mid-October where they were outplayed on
three straight road games.
Now, enjoying the fruits of a pair of back-to-back home
wins, the Hawks are flying high with the playoffs on the
horizon.
We had a chunk of our schedule early in October that
we knew was going to be tough, and it was. I got to give
these guys a lot of credit for being able to see the big picture through all of that, said Annicchiarico.

The Hawks have been heavily reliant on running back

Jayden Hendricks all season, but received a more balanced
approach with multiple players finding their way into the
end zone for the first time.
Its extremely important to reward these guys, said Annicchiarico. Jayden has been a touchdown machine for us
this year and we are going to need him to continue that
moving forward, but we had to get some guys experience
on offence.
With one regular season game remaining, the Hawks
dont know for certain their playoff opponent.
The regular season finale sees the Hawks travelling to
take on the Rimbey Senior High School Spartans Nov. 3.
The Spartans (5-1) sit in second in the South Division.
Outdoor skating rink for Speargrass

SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Colder weather has residents thinking about outdoor activities, and the
Speargrass Community Association
wants to put up a temporary outdoor
skating rink for their residents enjoyment.
The group submitted a proposal that
was heard at the Oct. 18 Wheatland
County council meeting. Details can be
seen online under the agenda attachments.
They set out a 32 by 52 foot rink that
would be flooded with water that is
trucked in and supplied by the community association.

However, the staff listed liability and
public safety concerns with the proposal. The proposed locations for the
rink are bordered by roadways on all
sides, and concerns about parking with
vehicle damage from over-shot pucks
were considered.
I would sooner see it put in a spot
that is permanent and not affected by
any road plans, said Coun. Don Vander
Velde.
It was suggested that the association
approach Speargrass Golf Course; however, the owner of the golf course also

had concerns regarding liability. Council suggested if the rink were placed in
one of the suggested locations, an encroachment agreement would be needed and set only for the present year.
Community amenities such as skating rinks provide fun family activity opportunities; however, safety is always a
factor to take into consideration, stated Dave Churchill, general manager of
Wheatland County transportation and
infrastructure.
Council declined approval at this
time, turning it back to staff to try to
find a more appropriate site where the
rink could be located.
One of Canadas greatest bull riders looks to brand his name deeper into the Canadian Finals Rodeo
(CFR) record books.
Scott Schiffner captured the CFR
championship in 2001 and 2012.
Another win in Edmonton Nov. 9-13
at the Northlands Coliseum would
elevate him to a class with six other
cowboys.
Winning the CFR means you are
the best that year, and thats what I
set out for, said Schiffner.
A third title would move him into
a three-way tie for third all-time
with Rob Bell and Greg Schlosser.
Fitting, seeing that it will be Schiffners 16th trip to the CFR, the most
appearances in its history.
Its just one of them things, Ive
always wanted to do it. Im proud
of what I do, withstanding the test
of time, said Schiffner. You always
want to win these events.
Now 36, Schiffner approaches the
CFR a little different than he used to
in his twenties.
Just like any athlete, when you
get older, you have to work harder,
he said. My metabolism isnt what
it used to be like; I have to work
on being fit and limber, not big and
strong. My life is also a lot different now with having a family and a
ranch. That has helped me out because I dont think about bull riding as much, its more of a second
nature now.
Schiffner has been paying attention to more than just his diet lately.
Just over two weeks ago, he was
bucked off a bull in Saskatoon and
landed solidly on his left shoulder,
separating it in the process.
Ive been visiting my sports med
doctors in Calgary and Red Deer,
trying to get better, said Schiffner.
If I didnt think I was able to compete at the highest level, I wouldnt
go.

Highly anticipated MVFC finals rematch

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

Quarterback Reid Jensen turned in a
performance straight from Madden NFL
17 to lift the Strathmore Community
Football Association senior Badgers to
the Mountain View Football Conference
championship game.
The Badgers battered the Didsbury
Dragons 63-0 Oct. 29 at Crowther Memorial Junior High School (CMJHS)
field.
Reid has really excelled in the open
field this year, said Badgers head
coach Sean Seafoot. We have a lot of
plays where we move the pocket and
if the contain gets broken to one side,
our plan is to throw or usually pick up
a five-yard run. He was able to pick up
a lot more than five yards.
Jensen had all the moves working;
the hesitation, cut backs, spin moves,
juke-steps, slithering out of tackles,
completely reversing to the other side
of the field and most importantly, the
getaway speed.
We had a lot of great blocking
down the field today. Guys had their
heads up, the o-line and receivers did
a great job blocking for me, said the
15-year-old Jensen, who finished with
five rushing touchdowns, three passing
touchdowns and a successful two-point
convert.
Jensen connected with one of his favourite targets, Alex Nwoye, for a pair
of receiving touchdowns, totalling 27
yards.
Alex is really quick and he has
played really well for us this year considering it is his first year playing football, said Seafoot. His older brother,
Charles, won the Vanier Cup for UBC
last season and that really sparked his
interest in the sport.
With a forfeited game last week and
a bye in week 8, this marked the Badgers first game in three weeks and it
showed early.
The Badgers surrendered an opening
drive TD and only led 12-8 after the first
quarter. They also had five touchdowns
called back because of penalties.
The bye weeks added up against us
I think. We had a bunch of hiccups in
the first quarter. There were too many

mistakes. I guess it kept guys on their
toes a little bit, but we dont want to see
that again, said Seafoot.
Because of a last minute rule change,
the MVFC championship game will be
played in Innisfail, Nov. 5, against the
Cyclones. The two teams finished the
season tied at 5-0-1. The Cyclones and
Badgers teamed up for the most thrilling game of the season, which saw the
Badgers rally down 16 with 2:26 left to
tie the game thanks to a pair of twopoint converts and an onside kick recovery.

cials.
The Badgers earned the right for the
provincial title to run through CMJHS
field, granted they keep on winning.
Next, the Badgers host the Red Deer
Hornets Nov. 5 (3 p.m.) in the CPWFL
finals. The Badgers dusted the Hornets
28-6 back on Week 3.
BANTAM BADGERS SHUT OUT
The bantam Badgers were shut out in
their playoff opener, 34-0 to Lacombe.
Now, they will head to Rocky Mountain
House to take on the Rebels for third
place. The Rebels downed the Badgers
52-32 back on Week 3.

PEEWEE BADGERS BLANK REBELS

The peewee Badgers stymied teams
all season and carried their steel curtain defence into the playoffs, as they
blanked the Rocky Mountain House
Rebels 37-0 Oct. 29 at CMJHS field.
The Badgers only yielded three
touchdowns all season and recorded
two shutouts.
Our D plays contain to shutdown
the running plays to the outside, so our
linemen can go up the middle. There,
youve taken away two of their options.
Teams will then try and pass on us and
we are comfortable playing in coverage
and shut them down there too, said
Badgers head coach Doug Thiessen.
Our defence is our super strength.
With their defence on lock, the Badgers offence looked more evolved than
it did in week 1. Quarterback Brady
Johansen was dialed in with his number one target Noel Langlois. Langlois
hauled in four passes for 41 yards and
one touchdown.
We had almost 90 yards of passing
in the first half; you just dont see that
in peewee much, said Thiessen.
Running through the season undefeated (5-0), Thiessen was still apprehensive minutes before kickoff.
Im absolutely thrilled. It was my
biggest fear all week, coming into today undefeated and coming out flat.
But, they came out aggressive today
and came out to win right from the
start, said Thiessen, who has been part
of a coaching staff to carry an undefeated team into the playoffs four previous
times and failed to advance to provin-

Stevens seizes ticket to Vegas

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Theres an old saying: what happens in Vegas, stays
in Vegas. Which could be true, unless what happens
in Vegas is winning a finals rodeo.
That is exactly what Destiny Stevens is setting out
to try to accomplish Nov. 8-12 at the Indian National
Finals Rodeo (INFR) at the South Point Equestrian
Center in Las Vegas.
Stevens punched her ticket to her second straight
INFR following a strong season in the Indian Rodeo
Cowboys Association (IRCA) and Northern Alberta
Native Cowboys Association (NANCA).
She finished the season in first in the breakaway in
the NANCA and IRCA. That alone earned her a trip to
Vegas, but for extra measure, she went on to capture
the IRCA title for barrel racing. She didnt finish the
season with the lead in the barrels, but turned in
a second, fourth and first place placing during the
IRCA Finals, propelling her to Vegas for a second,
and unexpected event.
Breakaway is my favourite event. Its more my
style to rope than to run barrels, said Stevens.
The INFR pulls from 11 different regions, with the
season leader and finals winner for each discipline
and region making the trip down to Vegas. There is
also room for 11 extra cowboys and cowgirls in the
event.
Despite the two titles, Stevens remains humble in
preparation for the INFR.
I was pretty excited. It was nice to win both events
this year, said Stevens.
As a prize, she won a pair of saddles and belt
buckles to go along with a small chunk of cash.
She is downplaying her success, said her mother,
Crystal. It is unheard of to win two year-end titles.
We are very proud of her and all that she has accomplished this season.
Destiny and her family made the trip to Vegas last
year and finished seventh in the breakaway.
She was satisfied with last years results, but bringing home the hardware this year would be pretty
cool.
Destiny, a Grade 11 student at Holy Cross Collegiate, has been roping for five years now, as her family has a strong background in rodeo.
Her brother Hayze took part in the INFR last year
in breakaway, but didnt qualify this year. He competed in team roping and tie down roping this season, but didnt qualify for the INFR.
Her father, Jim, participated in the IRCA and NANCA finals this year in steer wrestling. Jim entered the
INFR for steer wrestling last year as well.
I might razz them a little bit on our trip down, but
thats about it, said Destiny.
She has made it plenty clear to her father that he
will be her groomer down there, said Crystal, who
manages her familys rodeo lifestyle.
The Stevens family will make the three-day drive
down to Vegas together, along with Destinys two
horses, Tom Tom and Becca.
Destiny rides Tom Tom during breakaway events;
he is three years old and is a chestnut brown. At 19
years old, Destiny prefers Becca for barrel races.
I ride Becca in the barrels because she is older,
more experienced and has a better feel for the competition than Tom Tom would, said Destiny.
The Stevens family isnt strangers to long road trips.
At one point this summer, Destiny and her father
travelled up to Saddle Lake, Alta. (180 km northeast
of Edmonton) down to Bragg Creek and then back
up to Saddle Lake over the span of two days, just to
attend competitions. Thats nearly 2,000 kilometres.
Having rodeo blood can only get you so far. Destiny is extremely dedicated to her craft and puts in
long days perfecting her skill.
Destiny and her brother take a half-hour bus ride
each morning for school. Once school lets out, she
will train at Lausen Indoor Arena twice a week.
There, she rides horses for two hours and, if weather
permits, she will practice roping outside. If not, she
Destiny Stevens finished as the season leader for breakaway roping and will compete at the Indian National Finals Rodeo at the
South Point Equestrian Center in Las Vegas. She will bring her two
horses Tom Tom (photo) and Becca down with her.

practices roping on a wooden calf.

She just has so much talent, said the owner of
Lausen Indoor Arena, Lorne Lausen. I would have
been shocked if she didnt qualify for Vegas.
Lausen grew up with Destinys father and has
known her since she was a toddler.
She is incredibly dedicated, she practices lots, listens to advice and constantly wants to get better,
said Lausen.
He is so confident in Destiny and Hayzes abilities,
he has started bringing them out to his clinics and
uses them as instructors.
When Destiny isnt riding around at Lausens, shes
probably out at her familys ranch, practicing her
roping skills on another dummy until the sun goes
down.
Las Vegas is in the forefront of Destinys mind
these days, but she would love to compete in the
Strathmore Stampede or even the Calgary Stampede
when she is older.
Vipers sting Kings on power play

A flurry of second period power play
goals for the Red Deer Vipers inevitably sunk the Strathmore Wheatland
Kings 6-5 Oct. 29 at Collicutt Arena.
It definitely doesnt help playing
shorthanded like that, said Kings captain Kennan Ogle. It doesnt make it
easy, its a mental toll, we lose focus
and argue with the refs instead of focusing on putting the puck in the back
of the net.
The Vipers clocked the Kings 5-1

It was a pretty similar game as to
when we played them the first time,

The Kings went 0-for-6 on the man
advantage.
Ogles line began to redeem themselves in the third, as Ogle scored
a natural hat trick to bring his team
within one. His last hat trick came two
years ago, as a member of the Kings
against the High River Flyers.
The hat trick helps boost the confidence a little bit, said Ogle. Theyre
always welcome.
Brooker Pretty Youngman extended
his point-streak to 11 games with a
goal, and Matt Thomson sniped one in
the first. Both players picked up separate fighting majors in the third. Cole
Busslinger and Hammond registered
three assists each.
Kings netminder Brady Hoover was
tested again, facing 38 shots. He sits
second in the HJHL for shots faced,
with 399.
Its a quick turnaround for the Kings
as they hosted the Blackfalds Wranglers (6-5) Nov. 1 at the Strathmore
Family Centre (result not available as

The Wranglers edged the Kings 4-3
in a shootout back on Oct. 9.
Games against the northern division
are where the Kings can pick up a few
key points in hopes to move up in the
southern standings.
We need to come ready to play, said
Desmet. Picking up points against
northern teams will help us get back
on track.
The Kings are on the road when they

Bisons blow out the Flames

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

In what must have felt like a whirlwind, the CFR Chemicals Bisons
wrapped up their busiest month of the
season nearly perfect.
The Bisons entered the weekends
action the only undefeated team in the
Alberta Midget Hockey League.
A gritty, bruising 2-2 tie Oct. 28 to
the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs (5-1-4)
iced the winning streak.
It was a super heavy game. We
knew Red Deer always comes at us
hard. We trailed 2-0 early, but give our
guys credit, they rallied and Hunter
(Young) was amazing in net, said Bisons head coach Sandy Henry. It was
a good lesson for our guys; for most of
them, it was probably their first taste
at some old-fashioned hockey.
The Bisons bounced back into the
win column Oct. 30 when they blasted
the Calgary Flames 7-2 at Father David
Bauer Arena. The Flames fell to 6-3-1.
For us, we havent lost yet, so the
streak is still going in our mind, said
Bisons netminder Ben Laidlaw.
Laidlaw, who is an affiliated player
for the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta
Junior Hockey League, was a force,
turning away 39 shots for his fifth
win. Measuring in at 6-foot-4 and 206
pounds, he plays with a very strong
lower half, vacuuming up shots.
Hes a big guy and a blocker-type
goalie; he relies on his size and his angles to make saves. I thought he was
bang on tonight. Its hard to find holes
on the guy when he drops down into
his butterfly, said Henry.

Peyton Krebs got the Bisons (9-0-1)
going in the first when he took a sweet
slap-pass feed from Zach Huber at the
left half-wall, deflecting it in front of
net, softly over Flames goaltender
Benjamin Howard. Krebs added another with 6:10 remaining in the third
when he forced a turnover at his blue
line, streaked up the ice with a defender draped over him and bent the rules
of physics as he chipped the puck top
shelf from a near impossible angle.
The first one I got a great pass from
Huber and was able to find the back
of the net, and the second I just shot it
and let the puck do all the work, said
Krebs, who leads AMHL scoring with
eight goals and 17 points.
Tied 1-1 after the first, the Bisons
erupted for three goals in three minutes during the middle of the second
period in front of a well-represented Bisons crowd that featured last
years captain Kyle Gordon. Gordon
has three goals and 10 points for the
Okotoks Oilers of the AJHL this season.
The outburst was highlighted by
Blake Wells solo effort on the penalty
kill.
With Huber in the box for cross
checking, Wells poked the puck away
at his own blue line and dashed towards the Flames net. He was chased
down and took a Paul Bunyan-sized
two-handed chop to his thigh, earning
a penalty shot.
Circling centre ice, Wells contemplated a couple of moves.
I thought I was going to come in,

fake to the forehand and try and roof

it, but he came out pretty aggressive
so I deked around him, said Wells,
who has five markers and nine points.
Other Bisons goals came from Tyler
Petrie, captain Brett Trentham, Tarun
Fizer and Kaden Hanas. Tyson Scott
and Hanas also returned to the lineup.
Scott got called up to the Drumheller
Dragons of the AJHL and Hanas finished serving his suspension.
Missing in action with a pair of injuries were defenseman Tyler Strath and
forward Boaz Bassen. Called up affiliated players Tucker Zdunich (Foothills
Bisons AA) and Connor Bertamini
(Rockyview Raiders AAA). Zdunich
is the younger brother to Tyler Zdu-
nich, a defenseman for the Strathmore

Wheatland Kings.
As the Bisons season slows down
a little from 10 games in October to
eight in November, they will now travel to Sherwood Park Arena for a showcase weekend.
Its a big scouting extravaganza
weekend. Scouts from the Western
Hockey League, U.S. colleges, BCHL,
AJHL and SJHL will be in attendance,
said Bisons general manager Wayne
Hansen.
The Bisons will take on the Knights
of Columbus Pats (3-6-1) Oct. Nov. 5
and the Fort Saskatchewan Boston
Pizza Rangers (2-7-1) Nov. 6 at Sherwood Park Arena.

Hartell, MacDonald inducted into

Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame
MELISSA STRLE
Times Reporter

Bob Hartell from the Strathmore area
and his cousin, the late Dave MacDonald, were inducted into the Canadian
Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame on Oct. 22 at
the Coast Plaza Hotel in Calgary.
Hartell said he is pleased with his
induction into the Hall of Fame.
Its just kind of like winning an
Academy Award, he said. Its the ultimate of whatever you do in rodeo to
get inducted.
In Hartells words, being inducted
with his late cousin was a unique situation and very good. Hartell further
reflected on the kind of person his
cousin was.
He was my mentor; he was probably
the ace of cowboys, said Hartell. You
talk about being a gentleman, which
he was and he had lots of ability.
Hartell was a three-event cowboy,
competing as a bull rider, bareback
rider and steer wrestler. He won the
Canadian All-Around Championship in
1975.
Before that, he won numerous amateur championships, and then joined
the pro circuit in 1973, where he won
three saddles within the first year in
the southern circuit. He went on to
win more saddles and pro saddles.
Hartell qualified for the Canadian
Finals Rodeo on three separate occa-
sions but missed competing once, in

1976, due to a broken arm. To this
day, Hartell has stayed involved in the
sport, supporting the future generations that now include his grandchildren.
Sandra MacDonald, wife of the late
Dave MacDonald, commented on her
husbands posthumous induction into
the Hall of Fame.
I was really surprised and really
delighted he (Dave) got to go in the
same time as Bobby. Its really, really
excellent, she said.
MacDonald said the two cousins
were practically raised together, and
Dave started riding when he was 11
years old. In all 42 years of Canadian
Finals Rodeo (CFR) history, there has
been only one contestant qualify in
three events in 1975, MacDonald put
up a record that may never be touched
when he qualified for the CFR in the
bareback riding, steer wrestling and
tie-down roping.
Also in 1975, he placed in all four
events in the Belvedere series including steer wrestling, tie down roping,
bareback and bull riding. He won the
all-around trophy for the Belvedere.
In 1978, he won the Canadian title in
steer wrestling and in 1981 he won his
last steer wrestling title.
It was always a family affair for
us, said Sandra MacDonald, reflecting
on special times with her family and

Bob and Yvonne Hartell. Bobby and

Yvonne traveled down the road with a
camper and their kids and so did we.
For a long time we rodeoed together.
We covered a lot of miles.
Indeed, Hartell and all his cousins
grew up together and rodeoed together. They came from a family line that
had a history of rodeo. In earlier years,
the cousins were a constant force on
the rodeo circuit.
We actually worked probably every
event there was except saddle bronc
riding, said Hartell.
Rodeoing has been a way of life for
the Hartell family since Bobs great
grandparents arrived in the Calgary
and Strathmore area in 1897 and started raising purebred Suffolk Punches
(heavy horses). At the time, they had
30 head of horses and 30 head of
cows.
Bobs great grandfather, F.J.Hartell,
emigrated from the U.K. to Ontario,
before moving on to homestead at
Fort QuAppelle, Sask. in 1885. He was
winner of the Dominion Exhibition
Challenge Cup presented by the Suffolk Horse Society of England in 1911,
1912 and 1914.
Bob Hartell was born to Jack and

Mag in 1948 and grew up in the
Strathmore area. He attended Samuel
Crowther School followed by Olds Agricultural College.
Bob and Yvonne live just west of
Strathmore. Their son Wace has a
ranch in Saskatchewan and daughter
Lindy has a ranch just south of Whitecourt, Alta. Lisa lives in Calgary.
Rodeoing is still a major part of the
family as some of Bobs grandkids
continue to seriously rodeo. Grandson
Tate MacDonald is a pro bareback rider and grandson Gunner Fuchs rides
bulls and team ropes.
Out of seven grandkids, Ive got
four that are really rodeoing, said
Hartell.
When asked when he stopped rodeoing, Bob replied, I havent stopped,
as a testament to how much rodeoing
has always been part of his life. However, he revealed he stopped actively
rodeoing after he got a bareback riding buckle in 1987.
Prior to that, he attended rodeos and
then went on to old timers rodeos a
few times after 1982-83 where he still
continued to win.

Spartans sedated in conference final

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The Strathmore High School Spartans came up short in
their first trip to the Rangeland Football Conference Finals,
when they fell 29-5 to the Medicine Hat High School Mohawks Oct. 28 at the Methanex Bowl.
It was a gutsy effort, but in the end, we made too many
mistakes to be able to stay in the game, said Spartans head
coach Travis Gorski. We can chalk that up to a relatively
inexperienced team in a big game.
The Spartans blocked a punt early in the first half, but
dropped a pair of passes in the end zone, settling for a field
goal.
Another threatening drive was halted when they were
stuffed on a third-and-one attempt from the Mohawks 15-
yard line. The very next play, the Mohawks hooked up a 90yard touchdown pass and run to jump in front 7-3.
The Mohawks clipped the Spartans 18-14 back on Sept. 16
in Medicine Hat.
Mix in four interceptions and the defence dropping a pair
of interceptions, it wouldnt matter how much of the clock
the Spartans controlled.
We didnt capitalize on our good drives and they capitalized on our mistakes, said Gorksi.
The Mohawks recorded two touchdowns on plays over 60
yards.
The season didnt end for the Spartans in Med Hat. Their
semifinal win over the Crescent Heights High School Vikings
earned a berth into provincials.
The quarterfinals kick off Nov. 12 against the number oneranked Cochrane High School Cobras in Cochrane.
Chiefs recapture winning ways

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

After the Wheatland Chiefs saw their
undefeated season come to an end on
the road, they got back into the swing
of things with a pair of convincing
home wins this past weekend.
The local double-A midget team took
out the CRAA Gold Royals 6-3 Oct. 29
and blasted the Lethbridge Hurricanes
8-1 Oct. 30 during South Central Alberta
Hockey League play at the Strathmore
Family Centre.
This was an important win for us.
They came in undefeated and other
teams can hunt you down in the standings pretty easily if you start dropping
a couple games in a row, said Chiefs
goaltender Riley Stovka following their
6-3 win over the Royals.
The Chiefs tied the CNHA Blazers 2-2
Oct. 26 at the Max Bell Centre and were
looking to regroup against the Royals
(2-1).
Our boys played well and bought
into the strategy we developed. We
wanted to see if our new ideas and
messing around a little would work,
said Chiefs assistant coach Matt Gregory.
Gregory claims that part of the coaching staffs new ideas didnt include
looping highlights of Wayne Gretzky
working behind the net, but it sure
looked like it. Three of the Chiefs (7-11) tallies came from plays starting behind the net.
That wasnt our plan, things just happened like that. We just got everything
to the net and banged them in, said
16-year-old Brady Skiffington.
Skiffington finished with a goal and
an assist, scoring on the power play
when Ryan McHarg took the puck behind the net, passing out front to Skiffington who was wide open in the middle of the slot, one-timing it through
the five-hole.
Defenseman Kelton Travis, who sits
second on the team in scoring with
three goals and 11 points, scored the
winner when he was in all alone, wrapping around the net to tuck the puck in
the gaping cage on the other side.
We knew this was going to be a
tougher game. We came in with a better
mentality and we needed to respond after last weeks games. Our guys stepped
up, won battles and fought harder, said
Travis, who played with Skiffington last
season for the M15 Rockyview Raiders.
Brady is a hard worker, plays the
body and probably one of the best on
our team at working in the corners and
getting the puck to the net, said Travis.
Remaining Chiefs goals came from
Isaac Benoit, A.J. Kusu, Wacy Sandum
and Kale Clouston, with assists by Benoit (3), McHarg (2) and Sandum.

Benoit now leads the Chiefs with seven goals and 13 points.
Stovka started his third game between the pipes and turned away 22
shots, and is enjoying his first season
of AA hockey.
Riley played well. He stopped a lot
of first shots, battled hard and dealt
with a lot of traffic in front of the net,
said Gregory.
Ty Tarvyd returned to the crease during the 8-1 thrashing of the Hurricanes.
Tarvyd was also a member of that Raiders team with Travis and Skiffington. He
racked up 19 saves for his fifth win, as
he leads the league with a microscopic
0.67 goals against average and spotless
.970 save percentage.
Rylan Longmuir sniped a hat trick,
while other goals were contributed by
Lucas Muenchrath, Benoit, Skiffington,
Sandum and Kusu. Chayse Hnatowich
registered three assists, Tyler Skehar
and Travis added a pair of helpers,
while Scott Desserre, Zachary Suntjens
and captain Ryan Bell chipped in with
one assist each.
The Chiefs hit the road, where they
are 1-1-1 this season. First, a bout with
the Foothills Bisons (0-7-2) Nov. 5 at the
Tom Hornecker Recreation Centre, followed by a re-match with the Medicine
Hat Hounds (6-2-1) Nov. 6 at Kinplex
I in a battle for first place in the south
conference.
The Hounds handed the Chiefs their
first loss of the season Oct. 23 in Medicine Hat.
WARRIORS WIN TWO
The Wheatland Warriors continued to
build in the right direction with a pair
of strong games over the weekend.
The local double-A bantam team
opened the weekend with an 8-2
thumping of the Medicine Hat Hounds
(3-6) at Hussar Arena.
Nolan Bailey pulled the hat trick
and added an assist to lead the Warriors. Kage Yellowfly buried a pair of
snipes while Bryce Benfield, Trey Gillis

and Kobe Gosling added markers. Cole
Walker was in the giving spirit, finishing
with three assists, Clye Clayton chipped
in with a pair of helpers, with other assists coming from Zach Nicholls, Adam
Kirkpatrick, Kegan Law, Jarred Schrock,
Benfield and Gillis.
Logan Grant was impressive in net,
stopping 35 shots.
The Warriors (3-7-2) opened the scoring on a goal from Kirkpatrick, assisted
by Cole Walker and Yellowfly, but the
Hurricanes (2-5-2) scored four unanswered goals, taking over.
Law found the back of the net on the
power play from Mitch Tessemaker and
Bailey.
The Warriors head to Blackie Arena
to take on the Foothills Bisons (1-9)
Nov. 4 and return home Nov 6. to host
the Okotoks Oilers (6-2-2). Puck drop
is slated for 5 p.m. at the Strathmore
Family Centre.
BRAVES TAKE A WIN
The Wheatland Braves racked up
their first win of the season as they toppled the Okotoks Oilers Black 5-2 Oct.
30 at Murray Arena.
Adam Moore netted the winner from
Nolan Mahussier halfway through the
second period. Ryder Many Grey Horses bagged a pair of goals, Tyler Fairbairn supplied a goal and an assist, and
Cole Tweit scored on the power play
with 4:11 remaining in the second.
Grady Stovka, Jacob Galandy and Many
Grey Horses added an assist each.
It was good to get a win for these
kids. They were quite the happy bunch
after the game, said Braves head coach
Keith Klemmensen.
Rhett Harten wasnt too busy in net;
he only needed to turn away 14 shots.
The Braves (1-8-1) look to turn this
into a winning streak when they head
on the road to take on the West Central
Tigers (4-3-1) On Nov. 5 and the Red
Deer Motors (3-2-3) the following day.
Gone are the days we used to share

But in our hearts youre always there
Never more than a thought away
Loved and remembered every day.
