Strathmore High School pulls an all-nighter
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The second annual Strathmore High
School (SHS) wake-a-thon took place
on Feb. 9 when 114 students pulled the
greatest all-nighter they may ever have.
The wake-a-thon used to run annu-
ally years ago to raise money for Stu-
dents Against Drunk Driving (SADD),
but unfortunately over time, students
lost interest so the annual event was
cancelled.
In 2016 the school challenged the
students to raise $2,000 for Hope for
Syria. The Spartan Council, the schools
leadership program, took on that chal-
lenge and the idea of holding a wake-
a-thon was greatly supported. The
council far exceeded their monetary
goal and students had so much fun that
the event was brought back for another
year.
It was a fantastic night. This year
our purpose was to build friendships,
have fun and raise money, said Cheryl
Davidson, a teacher at SHS who helped
organize this years event.
$2,200 was raised and all the pro-
ceeds from this year have been do-
nated to the Strathmore High Spartan
Council, which runs several activities
and events each year for the purpose
of enhancing leadership skills and
qualities of all students through mean-
ingful activities, events, campaigns and
conferences.
The night was full of activities in-
cluding line dance and square dance
lessons, a crib tournament, playing
Stay Warm With Great Scarfs & Toques!
capture the flag, online gaming and
playing board games, seeing movies in
the theatre, eating pizza and having a
pancake breakfast the following morn-
ing.
After the event ended and all the
pancakes had been eaten, students
went home to sleep through their flex
Friday day off school. Some students
even challenged themselves to stay 128 - 2nd Avenue, Strathmore
awake the whole Friday in order not
to throw off their sleeping schedule

Ro
too much.
The best part was watching the stu-
dents create their own fun and make Serving
new friends, said Davidson. I would Strathmore,
like this to be an annual event as long Drumheller,
as the staff at Strathmore High School Airdrie
continues to be willing to give up a & Calgary

Wheatland Crossing opening pushed back Acreage with Revenue

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The opening of the Wheatland Cross-
ing School has been pushed back yet
again. A new move-in date has not yet
been decided.
Construction on the new rural school
commenced over a year ago, and as of
last December, was scheduled to open
on Feb. 27, with students attending the
new school on the Monday after the
week-long family day and teachers
convention break.
We are day-to-day, week-to-week
right now on what the opening day
is going to be, said Bevan Davern,
Golden Hills School Division super-
intendent. There are a couple things
(construction crews) are still working
on. We are beginning the occupancy
inspection and commissioning pro-
cesses in the next week.
Nearly everything is lined up for the
new school to open and furniture has
been arriving. But Davern said recent
weather changes and heavy snow fall
have contributed slightly to the delay,
as some groundwork has yet to be
completed. Some systems within the
school are also not complete.
For the first several months of school,
regional water will not be hooked up;
however, there is a sufficient backup
plan in place that will work for the
time being and there is a water reser-
voir the school will be using until re-
gional water is hooked up. All under-
ground work is completed, and any
open holes in the ground are currently

Februarys General Meeting is on Tuesday the 28th at 7:00 pm.
I was told the other day that there are people in town who dont know that we
have Bingo every Wednesday night at the Legion! Yes, it is every Wednesday night
beginning at 5:30 or so. For those of you who do not have time to make supper
before coming to Bingo, The Kitchen is more than willing to feed you! Bingo is not
only for members of the Legion. It is open to everyone who wishes to come out and
have some fun! The only time we dont have Bingo, is through the months of July and
August, or if the weather doesnt want to cooperate. In that case, give the Legion a
call to see if Bingo has been cancelled or not. So now that you know, I hope you can
make it!!
Did you know that you dont have to be a Veteran of the Canadian or Allied Forces,
or the RCMP, or a firefighter to join the Legion? Anyone who is not related in one way
or another to any of these Veterans, can apply for an Affiliate membership! Just come

Fire guardians appointed
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
On Feb. 7, Wheatland County council approved
the 2017 fire guardians.
Under the Forest and Prairie Protection Act, it
is required that enough guardians be appointed
to cover the county effectively. Chosen were four
county staff and two members from each district to
serve the public and issue fire permits at no charge.
They will receive training from Wheatland Coun-
tys fire and emergency manager prior to March 1,
2017.
Appointed were:
County Staff: Jim Laslo, Dave Churchill, Brian
Henderson, Russ Muenchrath, Jason Regher, Jeff
Cyr, Kris Permann, Dean Young, Jordan Maier, Judy
Unsworth
Districts:
Wheatland West: Mike Jakubiszyn, Ben Bremner
Caresland: Ryan Hawswirth
Cluny:Vern Mills
Gleichen: Ron Welcher
Dalum: Albert Jensen, Gerald Rasmussen
Hussar: Mike Haggar
Rosebud: Art Hudson, Earl Pratt, Craig Nelson
Standard: Phil Faubion, Malcolm McKinnon
ADDITIONAL FUNDING
FOR WATER PIPELINE
Darcy Burke, chairman of the Wheatland Region-
al Corporation, has asked Wheatland County coun-
cil to approve a low interest loan of $1,036,318 to
complete phase two of the water project.
The grant approved by the provincial and fed-
eral governments shall only cover 94.3 per cent
($17,403,672). Remaining funds required to com-
plete the project are $1,036,318, that represents
5.7 per cent of the total construction value, said
Burke.
Burke speculated that water consumer rates
would rise about 40 cents per cubic metre or $1.82
for 1,000 gallons of water consumption.
Council approved the request and the money
will come from the Gleichen water reserve.
Phase one of the water project will be completed
by summer of 2017, and Phase 2 by March 2018.
CHRISTMAS HAMPER DEBRIEF
There were 247 hampers delivered throughout
Wheatland County for the 2016 Christmas period.
You can see the numbers continue to go up
somewhat. We are still at about 25 per cent of the
hampers provided, and as you recall, council in-
creased the amount provided for the Christmas
Hamper Society in 2016, once more, said Wheat-
land County CAO Alan Parkin.
The majority of hampers were delivered to 162
families of one to three persons, 81 to families with
four to six people and four with over six people. It
took 195.5 hours of work to get the hampers out
and there were nine screeners designated to make
the process run smoothly.
Three families deferred their hampers to others,
stating there were other families in more need that
could use the hampers.
WATER TANK FACILITY AIDS FIRE CREWS
Wheatland County council approved a water
tanker-truck facility, at a cost of $545,000, which
taps into the new Wheatland Regional Corporation
water line and is situated near Gleichen.
The recommendation of the fire service board
is to move forward with this and it is now in coun-
cils hands, said Jim Laslo, Wheatland Countys
general manager of Agriculture, Emergency and
Protective Services.
The facility will store 13,200 gallons of useable
water, and aid in speedy and efficient fills for ser-
vices like the local fire tanker trucks. The alterna-
tive is to fill from hydrants, which decreases water
flow rates and extends time to fill the trucks. Hav-
ing the capability to fill from the facility will cut

fill times in half, which will aid crews in major fire
emergencies.
The funds will come out of the Gleichen utilities
reserve fund.
PROMOTING COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Wheatland County council approved that Orica
Canada purchase an old county fire engine for
$20,000. Fire policy is to recycle equipment on a
regular schedule to ensure mechanical efficiencies
and decrease maintenance costs.
Our goal with the sale of this engine is to un-
dergo joint training sessions, said Laslo.
The fire service review recommends recruiting
additional fire volunteers from local industry. Part
of this process involves working with local indus-
try.
In this case, Orica will need to have properly
equipped staff to be able to assist, should we need
it. These are critical first steps ensuring we have
a good working relationship with our industry
partners, said Judy Unsworth, fire and emergency
management coordinator with Wheatland County.
Carseland firefighters will assist with the Orica
training opportunity.
FIRE SERVICE AGREEMENT
The South Central Emergency Management
Group (SCEMG) approached Wheatland County
council, to approve the motion to negotiate an
agreement for participation in the SCEMG as a sec-
ondary response group.
Various municipalities, such as Okotoks, have
had an agreement for services around Calgary for
approximately the last 20 years.
We are not in this agreement and we never have
been. Wheatland County has never been a part of
it until now, if we want to be a part of this, said
CAO Alan Parkin.
Council approved to review the agreement and
consider if they would like to participate.
The agreement contract will be brought back to
council in the future for approval.
DARK FIBRE DETAILS TRICKLE IN
Wheatland County CAO Alan Parkin updated
council on the progress of the dark fibre deal of-
portions of the fibre optic line run for provincial
purposes.
A number of municipalities are moving forward
on that, said Parkin.
He said the offer is a lease agreement for a 20-
year term. Speculation is the cost will be about
$22,000 per year, which would not be manageable
for one municipality, but potentially beneficial if
split by partners signing onto the memorandum of
agreement (MOU).
We are not sure who is in and who is out. Once
we know that we will know more about what it
will cost.
Parkin said the MOU has five points that include
the option for other members to sign on, share
the cost of the lease equally, and a three-month
decision time to opt into also utilizing the line for
electric light provision. Information that is more
detailed will be forthcoming later in February.
WADEMSA DONATION
Previously, Wheatland County was handling the
accounting processes for Wheatland and District
Emergency Medical Services Association (WADEM-
SA).
As of December 2016, we are no longer han-
dling their accounting, said Brian Henderson,
general manager of corporate and financial ser-
vices with Wheatland County.
There was a residual amount of services provid-
ed by staff, estimated at a cost of
$16,688.Wheatland County council opted to
grant the amount, as an in-kind donation to WA-
DEMSA, stating that a similar action will not be
necessary in future years.

Animal Care Centre teams up with Calgary Zoo

Continued from Page 1
The city is getting closer and closer (to the
DWCC) and that is starting to become a challenge.
Our concern with breeding sensitive and endan-
gered wildlife species is that we want to be some-
what isolated, and right now we are becoming too
populated in the area where our current facilities
are, said Jamie Dorgan, director of animal care at
the Calgary Zoo, adding that the zoo is looking
to expand their current conservation program to
help other species within Western Canada, such as
the woodland caribou.
The zoo had been looking at several potential
options within the past year to help with current
vet care and to give them a greater overall effi-
ciency and flexibility. Because the ACC is a mixed
practice and deals with both small and large ani-
mals, their strong standard and quality of animal
care and their shared values in conservation of
endangered species, they were an ideal candidate
for the zoo to partner up with. A bonus is their
location near Strathmore.
The Town of Strathmore should be very proud
that the zoo is in the process of trying to move the
DWCC so close to town. We can take pride that
wildlife conservation effort are being done in our
municipality, said Viste adding that it is a great
opportunity to help even more endangered spe-
cies, and that businesses in Strathmore will ben-
efit by having the centre so close to town because
it will create jobs.
If we can be involved in ensuring that many
more endangered species [are helped] in Alberta
here, that is phenomenal. That is the main reason
Another reason for the two centres merging is
that they will be able to learn from each other,
use each others resources and share experiences
working in conservation.
This is a good opportunity to potentially use
the resources of the ACC clinic, whether that is
people, equipment or the clinic itself, said Dor-
gan. It is always exciting to get more people
involved in what we are doing. We are looking
forward to getting Jodi and her staff on board to
continue what we are doing and helping with the
conservation of even more animals.
Viste believes the knowledge she and her staff
will gain from this partnership will benefit the
ACC and how they understand the species they
take care of daily.
This allows us to grow and tap into the knowl-
edge from the current vet team at the zoo about
those exotic animals. Any kind of education and
knowledge that we can gain about any species
will help us better understand the species that we
deal with all the time, she said.
Although they are still in the early stages of
planning and setting up the partnership, and the
exact fate of the DWCC has yet to be decided, Viste
said she is confident her team will thrive with this
new unique opportunity and they should all be
proud to work in conservation efforts for endan-
gered species.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would
be working in collaboration with the Calgary Zoo,
said Viste. To say I was excited when we were ap-
proached by the zoo is an understatement.
The ACC won the Canadian Veterinary Medical
Association 2016 Practice of the Year award.

we are excited about this project, said Viste.

Ag society poster wins awards
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The Strathmore and District Agricultural Society
scored two big wins at the Alberta Association of
Agricultural Societies (AAAS) annual convention
on Feb. 4, where their 2017 Strathmore Stampede
and Heritage Days poster entry won two awards.
The poster, depicting three young boys sporting
cowboy hats, won first place poster honours for
events of more than 5,000 attendees, and it also
won delegates choice.
We have a good history with these kinds of
wins, said Herb McLane, Strathmore and District
Agricultural Society general manager. Its nice
when people appreciate the artistic and thought-
ful effort that goes into the development of these
kinds of things.
This years poster is the third of a three-part se-
ries the ag society conceptualized over three years
ago. The poster from the first year featured a cow-
boy, last year there was a barrel racer, and this
year there are three young boys on the poster.
All posters are silhouette images and convey the
same type of feeling and message. This is the sec-

the Town of Strathmore to enter the contest which
would permit the winning town to hold an indoor

The contest, which is a part of the 25th anni-

ond year in a row the ag society has taken home
both awards.
A picture says a thousand words and that old
saying rings true in connection with our poster,
said McLane, adding that the ag society tried to
develop a similar feeling between the last three
posters. This year focuses on family. There are
three boys, all brothers, who are the principal
players on the poster. It was important for us this
year to capture some element of family and the
connection to rodeo and the lifestyle.
This poster does that with the three young
lads in their cowboy hats. In one sense, it em-
bodies the future that one day they may become
professional cowboys and compete in rodeos and Strathmore & District Agricultural Society general manager Herb McLane

Bisons win in more
ways than one
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
It was a significant win on
multiple levels for the Foot-
hills CFR Chemicals Bisons
Feb. 12 at the Strathmore
Centre.
The 5-0 blanking of the
St. Albert Tire Warehouse
Raiders (16-14-3) was their
first shutout of the season,
clinching a playoff bye, a
much-needed bounce-back
win on home ice, but most
importantly, a chance to
raise money for a family in
the community.
The Bisons athletic ther-
apist, Rebecca Thomp-
son, has known Stepha-
nie Boettcher for a few
years now. Boettcher is a
new mother living in Cal-
gary, who gave birth to her
daughter Aria on Nov. 9,
2016. Aria was diagnosed
with heptoblastoma, a form
of liver cancer. Thompson
reached out to the Bisons
with the idea of having a
charity night for her friend,
to help raise money for her
daughter.
We take interest in other
peoples lives and Rebecca
is around us all the time and
a big part of our lives, said
Bisons head coach Sandy
Henry. We wanted to help
her friend out any way we
could.
The Bisons raised over
$1,200 in cash, gift cards
and other supplies for the
family.
Its so amazing, I am
overwhelmed with how
much support the team has
provided, said Boettcher.
Im so thankful for all
these people who Ive never
met, reaching out and help-
ing me.
On the ice, the Bisons
(23-6-3) responded from
their worst defensive outing
of the year with their best
defensive outing of the year.

Less than 24 hours after
the Bisons yielded a 7-6
loss to the last place Fort
Saskatchewan Boston Pizza
Rangers (8-19-5) on home
ice, they turned in their first
shutout of the season.
Our dee zone coverage
got addressed after that
game and I thought we
were a lot more cognizant
in our own end today, said
Bisons captain Brett Tren-
tham. We knew where the
threats were on the ice and
we werent just standing
around, staring at the puck.
There has been a slight in-
house competition between
goaltenders Hunter Young
and Ben Laidlaw. The Bi-
sons were one of two play-
off teams without a shutout
this season.
Which isnt that odd, un-
less you look at the stats
and see that Laidlaw is
tied for the league lead in
wins (13) and was among
the leaders in goals against
average (2.45) and until re-
cently, Young owned the
top save percentage at .926.
We have come really
close to getting [a shutout]
this year, but lost it in the
final minutes, said Laid-
law. When we were on the
5-on-3 penalty kill late in
the third, I tried not to think
about the shutout and just
focus on the next shot.
Laidlaw was strong when
tested: the Cochrane prod-
uct turned away 19 shots,
including back-to-back
breakaway opportunities by
Zane Avery in the first.
Sent in alone on Laidlaw,
Avery was interfered with,
but still got his shot off only
to be denied by the blocker.
Rewarded with a penalty
shot, Avery came in shoot-
ing again, as Laidlaw kicked
the puck out with the right
pad.
He definitely earned
the shutout tonight, said

always those four or five

rose to the occasion.
Putting pucks in the net

wasnt against the Raiders.
Boaz Bassen netted the
winner in the first on a

Clayton was named the
player of the month for the
Bisons for February and he
picked up right where he
left off, scoring on a slap

netted singles for the Bi-

bye in the Alberta Midget
Hockey League playoffs
with two games to go.
The bye is something we
set a goal for this year, said
Henry. We think we play
well enough at home and
have the right type of team
to play on the big ice sur-
face.
The Bisons sit three
points back of the Calgary
Buffaloes (23-4-6) with one
game in hand.
The Bisons final home
game of the regular season
is set for Feb. 18 when they
host the Dodge division-
leading Sherwood Park J.

drop is slated for 5:15 p.m.
They will wrap up the
regular season on the road
the next day in Medicine

South East Athletic Club Ti-
gers (8-18-6) at the Medi-

THANK YOU!
The Kings 2016-17 Hockey Season has come to an end. The Kings would like
to thank all the wonderful Sponsors, the countless volunteers, the parents, the

you it would not have been such a great and super fun season!!

Spartans lose
edge, gain
experience
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore High School Spar-
tans senior girls basketball team has
been very strong this season. Last
weekend was not one of their best
moments, but will be used as a learn-
ing tool moving forward.
The Spartans hit the road for the
Panda Classic tournament in Magrath
Feb. 10-11.
Tournies have treated the Spartans
nicely this year; they won their tour-
nament back in December and cap-
tured the bronze in Olds at the end
of January.
The Magrath tourney opened in fa-
miliar fashion, as the Spartans blasted
the Brooks Composite High School
Lady Buffalos 62-28.
Thats when things took an unfamil-
iar turn.
The Raymond High School Comets
tuned the Spartans 80-32, and the host
Magrath High School Pandas brushed
back the Spartans 78-40 in the finale.
We played some tough teams over
the weekend and we learned a lot,
said Spartans head coach Dion Ga-
landy. It was our first real test this
year and we need to execute and play
with a little more patience.
The Spartans returned to Foothills
Athletic Council action Feb. 13. Play-
ing in Okotoks, the Holy Trinity Acad-
emy Knights clipped the Spartans
74-59 in the second meeting of the
season between the two teams.
The Knights edged out the Spartans
65-53 just before the Christmas break.
We spotted them a 20-point lead.
I thought we did a great job trying
to come back from that, but it just
wasnt enough, said Galandy. I defi-
nitely think that some of the things we
learned and experienced in the tour-
nament helped us out tonight.
The Spartans arent in action again
until Feb. 24 when they hit up another
tournament in Eagle Butte.
The Spartans senior boys host their
tournament this weekend. Their first
game is slated for 2 p.m. Feb. 17 when
they host the Canmore Collegiate
High School Crusaders.

Hawks take two from Timberwolves

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter productive without the ball in his hands, collecting sev-
It took a full team effort to knock off a two-year los-
ing streak.
Alex Nwoye has been carrying the offensive load for
the Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks senior guys basketball
team lately. Not playing his best game, the rest of the
team stepped up to knock off the Notre Dame Colle-
giate Timberwolves 63-46 Feb. 13 at the HCC gym, end-
ing a two-year losing skid in Foothills Athletic Council
action.
Sometimes, the shots just dont fall. Nwoye, who has
hit the 30-point plateau several times this year, went
4-of-17 from the floor, including going 0-for from three-
point land.
A lot of our other guys stepped up. Our bigs got
some nice boards for us and points in the paint when
the three-ball wasnt going in, said Hawks head coach
Josh Jalbert.
Centre Luke Sproul was a beast in the paint, lead-
ing the Hawks with 13 points and 14 rebounds. Turner
Dirk pulled down six rebounds to go with 11 points,
and Reid Jensen hauled in five rebounds, recorded nine
points and put the game on ice with a three-pointer
with 1:27 remaining.
Even though it probably felt like there was a lid on
the basket, Nwoye still finished with 11 points and was
en rebounds and four steals.
The Hawks (3-6) trailed 14-9 after the opening quar-
ter, but hit the accelerator in the second once their full-
court press clicked, outscoring the 4-5 T-Wolves 21-9.
The Hawks took on the Holy Trinity Academy Knights
(9-0) in Okotoks Feb. 15.
Just prior to the guys game, the Holy Cross Collegiate
Hawks senior girls team smoked the Notre Dame Col-
legiate Timberwolves 63-28.
Leading the way for the Hawks was freshman for-
ward Hope Give, who turned in a double-double per-
formance off the bench.
Like a bottle of Windex, she was all over the glass. Her
15 rebounds were a team high and drained 12 points
along the way, including sinking 3-of-4 baskets in the
second half and picking up three blocks.
The Hawks switched to a zone defense and it paid off
as they dominated the glass. Wrecking-ball point guard
Darcie Weir finished with eight points and 10 rebounds,
Taryn Tanton contributed to the dominating rebound
performance with nine of her own and Yulisa Solda re-
corded 13 points and eight boards. Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks big man Cordel Steadman drives

Bears upset Kings in HJHL first round

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Its about as tough of a loss that
a hockey team can take.
Trailing 1-0 in the best-of-three
Heritage Junior Hockey League
South division quarterfinals, the
Strathmore Wheatland Kings had
their backs up against the wall,
down 4-3 late in the third period
at the Banff Recreation Centre.
Thats when the Kings leading
scorer, Brooker Pretty Youngman,
hopped over the boards as the ex-
tra attacker with the goalie pulled
and parked himself in front of
the net. Hayden Vanderploeg
launched a shot from the point
and the rebound sat nicely at
Pretty Youngmans feet. Whacking
away, he tied the game with 47
seconds remaining, as the Kings
bench erupted.
We controlled the play for the
third period and most of over-
time. They just had a broken play,
a two-on-two rush where they
shot it, the rebound went through
our defensemans legs right out to
their guy, described Kings assis-
tant coach Braden Desmet.
That other guy was Banff Acad-
emy Bears leading scorer, Nathan
Cohen-Wallis, who registered a
pair of goals in the series opener.
The room was obviously disap-
pointed afterwards, said Desmet.
This isnt where we thought we
were going to end up. We thought
we had a pretty good chance
against Banff. Im proud of the
way our guys came back and we
were a couple coulda, shoulda,
wouldas away from evening the
series back up.
Indiana Kelly started between
the pipes for the Kings after
Brady Hoover was lifted in Game
1 after allowing three goals on
eight shots. The rookie Kelly
didnt back down from the pres-
sure cooker in the mountains, re-
cording 38 stops in Game 2.
The vets stepped up when
needed: Captain Keenan Ogle de-
livered the first two goals for the
Kings, and Strathmore product
Ryan Grasdahl brought his team
within one at the 5:15 mark of the
third period.
Matt Thomson returned to the
lineup after serving his one-game
suspension, but the Kings were
still without George Montour and
Nolan Lightning who were in-
jured, and Brenden Moore was
serving the third game of his
three-game suspension.
Its a Freaky Friday-type role
reversal from the opening round
of last years playoffs. The Kings
were the lower seed that upset
the Bears in two games.
The Kings were 3-1 against the
Bears during the regular season.
For the Bears, they now ad-
vance to take on the division-

Stovka saves the day as Chiefs snooze on Stampeders

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The puck was on the stick of the leagues best player, on a
breakaway, in a tie game with 10 seconds remaining.
Calgary NWCAA Stampeders (8-1-3) netminder Taylor Fin-
layson got fooled by Wheatland Chiefs Isaac Benoits array of
movement, but kicked the potential game-winning
shot aside with the left skate blade, preserving
the 2-2 tie during South Central Alberta Hockey
League action Feb. 11 at the Strathmore Family
Centre.
They are a pretty good team and they attacked
us tonight, said Chiefs assistant coach Matt Gass.
I thought it wasnt our best effort and kind of
disappointing, given everything this team has ac-

LIVING IN THE AGE OF MASS
COMMUNICATION
I will not presume to have much of
anything to add to the enormity of
what we all understand Living in
the age of mass communication
to mean: Every cultural/political/
religious influence, the ever
widening generation gap, the loss
of innocence, paralyzing fear which
may set in with every tragedy hitting
our hearts minutes after it occurred...
The world has indeed become a
very small place and the ego still
imagining control has to constantly
wrestle with how out of control
it all is. My reason for writing is
rather to suggest that there is still
so much silence. Many rational,
sound-minded, God-fearing beliefs
are curbed for fear of conflict or
controversy. The question: Which is
healthier: Silence or controversy?
I know which one is less frowned
upon and less uncomfortable for all.
Facts are, for thousands of years
God has been revered by societies
world-wide. It seems quite recently,
God, especially the way He presents
Himself in the Bible, has become
somewhat of a taboo subject many
places. Is mention of Him obtrusive
because it holds man accountable
to a higher power? No matter how
much talk I listen to, I am utterly
unable to separate myself from
Creator God, and as a created being,
from bowing my knee. I have found

Gods Word to provide me with
satisfactory answers to the hard
questions: Where do we come from,
where are we going and why are we
here?
May our ever-rapid, global
communication stay open to
discussions of a spiritual nature.
There IS more than the eye can see!
Humans have to deny a piece of
themselves to buy into the credence
that everything is only natural and
scientific. Is not true science driven
by curiosity and is it not a process of
investigation of created things? Man
cannot but acknowledge there is a
God who made things out of nothing.
Pursue and love truth. It does not
change and is not determined by
popular belief or culture or majority
vote. Consider, that today, across
the earth more than 200 million
persecuted Christians are suffering
for their faith in Jesus Christ. Why
are they choosing to suffer rather
than give in to the pressure to
deny their faith? They must have
conviction that Jesus is the truth.
History reveals Jesus really lived,
died and rose again. He is no fairy
tale. Many are seeking for answers
only God provides. When it comes to
issues of faith, courage of conviction
is required to remain engaged in this
global communication.

The local double-A midget team (26-2-3) pounced
out to a 2-0 lead in the first after Benoit finished
off a textbook two-on-one rush with Kale Clouston
and Kelton Travis, beat three Stamps down the ice,
tried to stuff in a wrap-around attempt, only to
have the rebound kick out to Brady Skiffington for
his ninth goal.
Riley Stovka was solid in net, turning away 32
shots, as his record moves to 11-2-1.
We should have lost that game if it wasnt for
his effort in net, said Gass.
The Chiefs returned to their winning ways the
following afternoon in Calgary when they trimmed
the 7-3-5 CBHA Blackhawks 3-1 at the Max Bell
Centre #2.
Ryan Bell sniped a pair of goals with Kale Clous-

evening at the Tom Hornecker Recreation Centre.
BRAVES NOTCH A WIN AND A TIE
It was a productive weekend for the local dou-
ble-A peewee Braves squad, as they picked up a
win and a tie in a pair of games over the weekend.
Philip Raycroft pulled the hat trick as the Braves
dusted off the 12-11-5 Taber Golden Suns 5-3 Feb.
10 at Hussar Arena.
Josh Alberda finished with a goal and two help-
ers, while Cyle Clayon registered three assists, Ty-
ler Fairbairn supplied two assists and Ryder Many
Grey Horses notched the winner on the power
play in the third.
A three-goal second period helped the Braves
come back to tie the Red Deer Parkland Transmis-
sion (16-8-4) 4-4 Feb. 11 at the Dawe Centre.
Trailing 3-0 midway through the second, consec-
utive goals from Many Grey Horses (short hand-
ed), Carter Gosling and Raycroft set the table for

WARRIORS EDGED OUT
If the Wheatland Warriors could have scored one
third-period goal over the weekend, things might
have gone differently.
The local double-A bantam team was edged 2-1
by the Lethbridge Hurricanes (16-8-4) in a tightly
contested affair Feb. 10 at the Strathmore Family
Centre.
The Hurricanes led 2-0 into the second when
Nolan Bailey chipped in his 14th from Adam Kirk-
patrick and Mitch Tessemaker. Corey Ross made
27 saves, but the Warriors couldnt find the back of
the net in the third period.
Two days later at the Tom Hornecker Recreation
Centre, the Warriors (9-16-4) and the division-lead-
ing Okotoks Oilers (17-5-7) skated to a 2-2 tie.
Kirkpatrick opened the scoring from Bailey and
Tessemaker in the first. With 2:02 remaining in
the second, Bailey found the back of the net from
Jarred Schrock and Tessemaker.
Only one game this weekend for the Warriors:
they host the Taber Golden Suns (19-8-2) Feb. 19
at the Strathmore Family Centre. That one is set for
12:15 p.m.

Local cheer team succeeding all over the province

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter and 87 respectively in Edmonton and Lethbridge.
While some of us have stumbled through the
New Year, the Platinum Elite cheer team has tum-
bled their way onto the podium.
Training out of Jumphouse Gymnastics, the Plat-
inum Elite squad is comprised of girls and boys
aged 10-15 years of age, a younger group com-
pared to their competition that they have been
dominating at events across the province.
Just this month, the Elite found their way onto
the podium three times.
They captured silver in Edmonton at the Cold
Snap Cheer and Dance Championship Jan. 21, sec-
ond at the Imagine Cheer and Dance Champion-
ships in Lethbridge Jan. 28 and won the All Things
Cheer Battle of Champions Feb. 4 in Calgary.
Its pretty rewarding, having watched these kids
put in all the hard work to get the skills and to go
out and deliver in competition, said Elite assistant
coach April LaChance.
The Elite crew performs a two-and-a-half minute
routine during the events. Sometimes they are two
day events, sometimes just one. They get scored
based on the difficulty of their routine and how
technically sound they are.
The cheer team combines gymnastics, dance and
stunting, all rolled into one. Given a score out of
100, the Elite recorded 86 in Calgary and an 84
Our athletes use tumbling, stunting, jumps and
dance, but our program is known for how great
our tumbling is, said Elite head coach Cassi Weiss,
who started the program seven years ago.
The Jumphouse also features a Matrix Cheer
team for kids aged 4-15, but the Elite has experi-
enced the most success as of late.
Practicing twice a week, you can find the Elites
at work all year long. The season runs from Sep-
tember to April, but there are plenty of summer
training sessions available for current and aspiring
athletes.
Were not just creating athletes here, were cre-
ating adults, said LaChance, who has two kids on
the Elite team. These kids learn critical thinking,
trust in teammates and a sense of responsibility.
The Elite look to keep the ball rolling with a
couple of marquee events on the horizon. Next
up is a two-day event in Warman, Sask., starting
March 4.
The big ticket is set for April 7-9 in Vancouver
for the Sea to Sky event. That competition pro-
