Wind storm
causes damage
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter

A massive storm system brought rain and pow-

erful winds to Strathmore on May 24, damaging
What a performance homes and vegetation around the community. The
wind reached speeds of 98 km/hr according to En-
vironment Canada.
There were quite a few trees that went down
Page 21 and were damaged in the parks and all over town,
said Dave Rimes, interim operations manager with
the Town of Strathmore. We had some damage to
the fence at the tennis court up by curling rink. Its
amazing, even the big corner posts are bent. Its
amazing the wind did that.
According to Rimes, although damage caused by
the storm wasnt exclusive to one part of town, the
older sections of Strathmore with bigger trees got
hit the hardest. Fences were knocked down around
town, including at Lambert Village. Many homes
Football jamboree lost shingles which could be found on roads.
Power was on and off in various parts of
Strathmore during the storm. Power lines had trees
fall on them but Fortis and the tree crews respond-
ed quickly, tackling dangerous or emergency issues
first.
Probably the busiest people after the storm were
the tree crews and Fortis because they were run-
ning around trying to get power back up and the
trees off everywhere else, said Rimes.

Strathmore High School students graduate
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
We made it to the beginning of whatever we want.
That was the message from Raegan Burkholder during
the class address that kicked off the Strathmore High School
(SHS) graduation ceremony and carried on throughout the
afternoon of May 27.
It was a lovely celebration for the 224 graduating students,
recognizing their accomplishments over the past three years.
Parents, siblings, relatives and friends crammed into the
stuffy gym to catch a glimpse of their graduating student
decided to retire. He was thanked for his years of service by
There was such a demand for seating that some family
members had to take in the ceremony via livestream from
the cafeteria.
The afternoon began with a message from SHS principal
Kyle Larson who, after many years as vice principal, was the
man in charge for his first graduation ceremony. He spoke
words of encouragement and optimism, as if the real journey
for the grad class was only about to begin and that he truly
believed in each and everyone.
Throughout the event, shared memories and gratitude from
each student poured from the speakers, thanking those who
helped them get through the tough times in high school.
Martina Vergouwen was elected as the valedictorian fol-
lowing her 96.2 per cent average this year. She delivered a

knockout speech more than seven minutes long, making eye
contact with everyone in the room, hardly glancing down at
her speech for hints.
Strathmore High School is very diverse. Not everyone has
an average in the 90s, not everyone is a star athlete or into the
arts, and thats what makes this graduating class so unique,
said Vergouwen, who plans to attend the University of West-
ern Ontario to pursue an education in medical science. We
are all going to go on and have different futures, but we will
be able to share this experience together.
It wasnt just one of the final days of high school for the
students. After 37 years in Strathmore, teacher Rob Pirie has
the student body and his peers.
High school can be tough at times. Each passing year will
contain its ups and downs. For Wacy Sandum, he got to expe-
rience a provincial championship with the Wheatland Chiefs
double-A midget team, but also was forced to deal with the
loss of one of his friends.
Grad was a special day for him in particular as it happened
to land on his 18th birthday.
Its going to be crazy now, entering the real world and
having to look after myself, said Sandum, who plans to at-
tend Lethbridge College to study agricultural sciences.
When asked about some of his favourite memories at
Strathmore High, he thought of his late friend.

SHS students make the streets WalkAble

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
Four students from Strathmore High
School (SHS) recently competed in
a competition that no student from
Strathmore has ever competed in be-
fore and they excelled in it.
SHS students Katie Doak, 17, Rachel
Huhn, 16, Emma Ewashen, 16, and Kai-
la Estall, 16, won second place at the
2017 Calgary Regional Technovation
Challenge for a safe walk app they cre-
ated named WalkAble.
SHS computer sciences teacher Ed
Ebert found out about the competition
through an email sent to him from the
Computer Science Teachers of Alberta
Society. He put together the group of
four young tech-savvy ladies who, be-
fore the project, had never spoken to
each other.
The competition is an app coding
challenge where a team of girls must
come up with an app idea, code and
design the app, and build a business
plan based around the app with the
help of a few highly-achieved women
mentors from the tech industry.
They met their mentors, the univer-
sity connected these girls as a team
with Calgary tech firms and from in-
dustry and business mentors. Its not
just about developing an app and cod-
ing, its about designing and creating a
business that would promote and sell,
said Eberts.
They learned how specific they
needed to be when creating an app,
designing it for a specific consumer
base, competitor analysis, market re-
search, consumer research and com-
petitor research.
The group got together in October
2016 before attending their first meet-
ing at the University of Calgary (U of
C) in January to meet with all the other
teams, their mentors and to get started.
The group then spent the follow-
ing 12 weeks bringing their app idea
to screen. They met weekly with each
other to work on their app, had either
weekly skype or in person meetings
with their mentors to work on building
and creating their app, and met month-
ly at U of C to pitch their progress to
the other teams.
The group had their app idea figured
out at the very first meeting Walk-

of farm safety
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
Students from Sacred Heart Academy (SHA)
learned about farm safety while attending the an-
nual Farm Safety Days on May 16 at the Calgary
Stampede Park, presented by AltaLink.
This is the second year SHA students have par-
ticipated in the event. In total, 48 Grade 6 students
from SHA attended along with other students from
Grades 6 to 9.
The free event was offered to rural communities
surrounding Calgary.
One of our pillars is safe and caring (so) as
a result, we take every opportunity to talk about
safety in our daily lives, said SHA Grade 6 teacher,
Sara Rinaldo. We have a large farming population,
so it is a discussion that is addressed throughout
WALK-IN
the year.
The students viewed demonstrations on the dan-
gers of farm equipment, watched a rollover simula-
tor demonstration and viewed what happens when
clothing snags on a power take-off shaft. They also
learned bike safety and participated in impaired
driving activities that were run by the RCMP.
The last set of stations focused on emergency
services where students practiced using fire extin-
guishers and were given basic first aid informa-

Celebrating Canada
FROM THE OFFICE
OF MARTIN SHIELDS
As Canada is celebrating its 150th anniversary
of Confederation this year, Bow River MP, Martin
Shields, is offering a special Canada 150 Certifi-
cate to constituents of Bow River.
Is there a volunteer in your community who
deserves recognition? Is there somebody in your
community who has gone above and beyond? Is
there somebody in your community that has been
a tireless volunteer for various causes or organiza-
tions? If so, MP Shields has Canada 150 Certifi-
cates and Medals to award to 150 deserving Bow
dren, three of which are triplet boys born in 2005.
After their wedding, Marilyn continued working
at Holy Cross Hospital in Calgary until the fall of
1973 when Eric desperately needed a grain truck
driver. So Marilyn resigned from the hospital and
became a trucker that fall, then a mother in Janu-
ary 1974.
Both Eric and Marilyn have been, and still are,
very involved with their church - the Alliance
Church in Strathmore, and the Bow River Alliance
Church in Carseland. Both are avid
horseback riders, as are members
of their family. They used to ride
along the banks of the Bow River
downstream of Carseland, as well
as various locations in the Rock-
ies. But now that they have re-
tired, their riding has diminished.
Eric has been an avid outdoors-
man all his life, and his hunting
and fishing ensures they always
have fresh meat and fish on their
table. They advised they prefer
eating wild meat because it contains one seventh
of the fat of domestic meat.
Their hard work did not permit much time to
get involved in community activities, although
Eric was a camp counsellor and set up an archery
program at the Sundre Youth Camp.
Eric and Marilyns years of farming were a real
blessing and they were fortunate enough to work
with Erics brother Corn (Cornelius) and wife Lin-
da for over 25 years.
Changes in the area include the small-town feel-
ing has gone. For example, at the old Co-op, one
could drop in and have coffee at the coffee coun-
ter. The new store doesnt appear to encourage
shoppers to do this. Same at Walmart - there used
to be a McDonalds, but its closed.
The elevators have all gone, feedlots have come
and gone. Price of grain has gone from 50 cents a
bushel to $5 a bushel, but has now dropped back
to around $3.50 a bushel. Around 1999-2000 Hwy
901 opened.
contributions to our communities.
I know we are all very excited and enthusiastic
about celebrating the 150th year of our great na-
tion, and I am inviting you to celebrate by nomi-
nating somebody who gives a part of themselves
back to their community.
I have also made an appeal to each and ev-
ery one of you to come and see your Parliament
in this 150th year of Confederation. The Centre
Block will be closed for up to 15 years beginning
in the summer of next year, so the best time to see
your buildings is right now.
I recognize the Honourable Rona Ambrose, In-
terim Leader of the Official Opposition and of the
Conservative Party. She announced this week that
she would be leaving politics altogether to move
on to other projects. After 13 years as M.P., Minis-
ter of the Crown, and now Leader of the Official
Opposition, she has conducted herself with dig-
nity, grace and stature. I hope you will join me in
recognizing her contribution to Canada.

SHS presents West Side Story

BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
Strathmore High Schools Drama 20/30 and
Dance 25/35 class will perform the passionate
dance-filled musical West Side Story.
The musical will take place June 3-7 at 7 p.m.
with afternoon shows at 2 p.m. on June 3 and 4.
The show is two acts long and involves a cast of 30.
West Side Story is set in New York in the 1950s
and follows the rivalry between two gangs: the Jets
and the Sharks. Tony is the protagonist and a for-
mer Jets gang member. He falls in love with Maria
who is the sister of the leader of the Sharks.
I find its really easy to play Tony, said Jonathan
Le May, 17, who is playing the leading role. I dont
want other people to be hurt and I want to protect
my friends as well. I really relate to him as a char-
acter because hes just trying to do the right thing.
West Side Story is actually based on Romeo and
Juliet. The show will explore ideas of racism and
love.
I know a lot of us havent had hard-hitting ro-
mances where you fall in love with one person and
die for them the next day, said Tanya Shpyth, 17,
who is double cast as Anita and Rosalia. I just try
and imagine what it would be like in their head.
Shpyth described Anita as a mother figure and
Rosalia as another Shark girl who isnt too bright.
According to Deanne Bertsch the teacher and di-
rector for the production, most of the characters
are high school-aged which resonated with the
young actors.
I actually wanted to do Mary Poppins but none
of them were interested, said Bertsch. When I
brought up West Side Story they were all so ex-
cited.
Bertsche initially thought West Side Story might
be too challenging as a musical, but her class wanted to try it.
Its hard to do this show without including all the awesome
dancing, said Bertsch. We do lots of dance shows at Strath-
more High, but I always felt if you ever did this show you have
to honour that original choreography.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Strathmore election heats up

To the Editor
My name is Earl Best and I would like to be your
mayor following the upcoming municipal election
taking place on Oct. 16, 2017.
Previously, I served three terms (nine years) on
town council, 18 months which were spent as deputy
mayor, which provides me with sturdy qualifications
to be your mayor. Having served under three very
different mayors has given me valued experience in
handling issues in a variety of ways.
I have sat on numerous boards including: the
Wheatland Lodge (assistant HR director), Strathmore
and District Chamber of Commerce (vice president),
Strathmore Library and Marigold Library (secretary
treasurer), Seniors Action Committee (chairperson),
Community Futures Wildrose (secretary treasurer),
Strathmore Names Committee (chairperson) and
many more, which also give me insight to our com-
munitys needs and the importance of fiscal respon-
sibility.
Our town council needs to be fiscally responsible,
decisive, think outside the box when necessary, and
do what is best for the citizens of this great town.
More prudent fiscal responsibility, better utility rates
and taxes are issues that need to be dealt with. Crime
must be a priority. We need to do what it takes to
bring industrial companies to Strathmore that will
provide good paying employment opportunities and
a reliable tax base. These are only some of the issues
that I believe need to be dealt with.
Thank you for your valuable time and consider-
ation. In the next few months please be sure to keep
an eye on the upcoming election news so you can
make an informed decision on election day.
Best for Strathmore.
Earl W. Best,
Strathmore

Fildebrandt will propose amendments

to constituency boundary changes
FROM THE OFFICE OF
DEREK FILDEBRANDT
Strathmore-Brooks MLA Derek Fildebrandt
challenged the majority report of the Electoral
Boundaries Commission (EBC) today for unrea-
sonably manipulating rural constituencies in the
redistribution.
The NDP-backed majority report of the EBC
punishes rural Alberta and will significantly di-
minish the ability of rural MLAs to effectively rep-
resent their constituents, said Fildebrandt. The
drive from one end of the Drumheller-Strathmore
constituency to the other end is 3.5 hours - Strath-
more to Compeer. This drive is an enormous un-
dertaking for constituents to consider, especially
with our hard Alberta winters and driving condi-
tions.
Three rural constituencies were abolished in the
draft boundary report, with new constituencies
added in Edmonton, Calgary, and sub-urban Cal-
gary. Large, rural constituencies are normally al-
lotted some flexibility in meeting the exact popu-
lation average due to the difficulty in representing
large geographic areas and ensuring that far-flung
communities have something in common with the
rest of the constituency. The
EBC recommended that rural MLAs either fly
extra time, without having any powers to increase
MLA office budgets. Strathmore-Brooks would be
split into two new constituencies of Drumheller-
Strathmore (16 per cent above the provincial aver-
age) and Brook-Cypress (two per cent above the
provincial average). The proposed Drumheller-
Strathmore constituency would stretch from the
Calgary Regional Partnership to the Saskatchewan
border.
The majority report of the EBC overzealously
cut away rural representation and now leaves
some rural constituencies the size of small coun-
tries and the populations far above the provincial
average, continued Fildebrandt. At 35 862 square
kilometres, Drumheller-Strathmore would be the
size of Taiwan and have a population far larger
than most urban constituencies.
With Strathmore continuing to grow at a healthy
pace, Drumheller-Strathmore would be under rep-
resented for the foreseeable future in the legisla-
ture.
I will be honoured to continue to represent
our constituency in whatever form it takes in the
next election, but there are clear problems with
the proposed boundaries that punish the people
of Strathmore, Brooks, Drumheller and the sur-
rounding region, he said. I will take these issues
to the EBC at their next hearings and make our

Brad Walls asked about fundraising that
he said was previously designated to
support this project. MacKan said that
fundraising had contributed to raising
the $75,000, but no further fundraising
is expected at this time.
Councillor Pat Fule said that town
held in the downtown area. He said the
Farmers Market Pavilion will help in
revitalization and scheduling could be
done so not to interfere with the cur-

that they have consulted with the exist-

The Cairnhill Community Centre will be rock-

during the Strathmore Musical Arts Societys Sat-
urday Night Boogie.
We thought it would be nice to have a fun
night and have all the genres of music across all
the different eras, said Linda Storkson, president
of the Strathmore Musical Arts Society.
DJ Mike Smith will be spinning different genres
of music and will be taking requests throughout
the night.
The Strathmore Musical Arts Society has been
in place since 1996 and this is the first time they
will be putting on a show that doesnt feature a
live band.
If you choose a live band, youre set in one
style, but we wanted to do all the genres, said
Storkson.

Living on the edge

BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
United Way Calgary, in partnership
with Strathmore Family and Communi-
ty Support Services (SFCSS) and Wheat-
land Family and Community Support
Services (WFCSS), is hosting a poverty
simulation at the Strathmore Civic Cen-
tre on June 7 from 9 a.m. to noon.
The poverty simulation is a live
group exercise where participants are
assigned a role and challenged with
the hard choices that many residents
face, said Catherine Walsh, SFCSS co-
ordinator. Whether its interacting with
human service agencies, grocers, pawn-
brokers or bill collectors.
The simulation is provided at no cost
to participants. Registration closed May
26.
According to Walsh, the main goal of
the simulation is to enlighten people
to the difficulties and challenges asso-
ciated with living in poverty and have
people walk away with a new perspec-
tive.
The event requires a minimum of
45 people and maximum of 80. Out of
those people, 15 will be given scripts
for roles like loan collector, social ser-
vice worker and police officer.
Theres even an illegal activities per-
son whose mandate is to steal things
and evade the law. According to the
United Ways handout on the roles, the
illegal activities person should use
their imagination and dont be shy.
The rest of the group will be given
limited resources and will have to navi-
gate through the simulation, making
the tough decisions those in poverty
face.
After the simulation is over, there
is a debrief where people are given a
chance to talk with each other about
what they experienced.
People participating in things like
this it can really hit home for them,
said Walsh. They need to talk about
what happened and share the experi-
ence with each other.

Local organization preps parents

and kids for the future
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
Families flocked to cole Brentwood
Elementary School on May 27 to take
part in a free event for Wheatland Coun-
ty four- and five-year-olds and their
families.
The event was hosted by 5 for Life
and was a chance for participants to
learn how that organization can help
children prepare for kindergarten.
5 for Life, an initiative by the Growing
Families Society, is comprised of volun-
teers dedicated to helping and provid-
ing resources to parents and children to
help transition them into the education
system, specifically heading into kinder-
garten.
The purpose of this whole thing is to
are happening in homes already, but 5 for Life
wanted to make parents aware of how much help
is available in Strathmore and the surrounding
area so parents dont have to run into Calgary.
Terrah Harper and her son Gavin, 4, attended
the 5 for Life event and were very happy with
what they found.
I think its a really good opportunity for kids
and parents to bond and to learn about things
that can help them develop, said Harper. Its
great to see what our kids will learn and what we
can do at home to prepare for school.
The coalition works in partnership Golden
Hills School Division and the Parent Link Centre
throughout the year.
The next event takes place in October and is
called Terrific 2 & 3 Year Old Event. For more Kids loved the obstacle course at the 5 for Life event. They navigated the pylons, balance

New directors at the chamber
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
The Strathmore and District Chamber
of Commerce (SDCC) declared two new
directors to their board on May 23.
Shelley Toderian, executive director
of the SDCC, welcomed Lawrence Carri-
ere and Matt McBean to the board. Both
are making an immediate impact: Carri-
ere has volunteered for multiple events
and McBean is the new chamber coor-
dinator.
Carriere was born in Edmonton and
is a family man with two children, aged
nine and six. Carriere said he loves the
family activity opportunities available
in Strathmore. His one-man business
provides web development and security
services to businesses.
Carriere has been a member of the
SDCC for a year and joined because he
wanted to know what was happening in

the business community around town.
I find that a lot of business stuff is
geared towards bigger type businesses,
said Carriere. Part of what I want to ac-
complish is to not only make the cham-
ber stronger in the community but to
reach out to smaller, one-person busi-
nesses.
McBean grew up on a cattle ranch west
of High River and moved to Strathmore
last year with his fianc and wanted to
get more involved in the community. He
is currently the general manager of the
Arrowwood Co-op Association, but will
be leaving the organization to join Stra-
tus Agri-Marketing which is an agricul-
tural research organization.
McBean brings a business and retail
expertise to the chamber. As the cham-
ber coordinator, he will be responsible
for taking notes and managing data dur-
ing meetings.
Its an important role and something

ber of Commerce. Carriere and McBean both

ber board.

thats hard sometimes to get people in-
terested in, being the secretary or the
chamber coordinator, said McBean.
But its still a vital role to the organiza-
tion to be able to take accurate notes,
and Ive done it in the past for other
organizations so I dont mind.
The SDCC also discussed upcom-
ing events including the Annual Get
to Know Your Neighbour, Picnic in the
Park, and the Strathmore Stampede.
The SDCC will meet again on June 7.

SPORTS Spartans rugby

drops semis tilt
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

There will be a new southcentral zone cham-

pion in girls rugby.
After the zone semis were postponed due to
last weeks wind storm and torrential down-
pour, the Strathmore High School Spartans fi-
nally faced off against the Foothills Composite
High School Falcons May 29 in Okotoks.
It was a great game, we just happened to be
on the wrong side of the scoreboard at the end,
said Spartans head coach Jerry Flaws.
The Falcons got the best of the Spartans 24-7.
With only 20 minutes remaining in regulation,
the Spartans were still within striking distance,
trailing 10-7.
Holy Cross Collegiate standout Darcie Weir
was responsible for the Spartans lone try on the
evening.
Several dropped passes down the stretch, as
the Falcons controlled scrums and dominated
possession, sealed the Spartans fate.
Last time these two teams met was in the sea-
son opener, when the Falcons crushed the Spar-
tans 37-0 at home.
It wasnt all bad news, as the loss didnt end
their season. The Spartans played in the bronze
medal game June 1 at the Calgary Rugby Union.
They found out their opponent late on May 30.

The Holy Cross Collegiate (HCC) Hawks football
squad dusted off the shoulder pads and helmets after
a long winter for their annual football jamboree May
27.
Joining the Hawks were J.C. Charyk Hawks from
Hanna and the St. Josephs Collegiate Crusaders from
Brooks. The three teams scrimmaged against each
other at the HCC field.
It was nice to get out and get some reps in against
other teams for a change, said Hawks head coach
Josh Jalbert. We have been working on some things
for a few weeks and it was nice to see the develop-
ment in the kids.
The Hawks have been holding practices for the past
three weeks, reintroducing plays from the fall to a
returning cast of players and a couple new recruits.
Teams gathered for informal games with a set num-
ber of plays on offence and defence, instead of play-
ing four regular quarters. The scores were not kept,
but Jalbert was satisfied with the effort portrayed by
his squad.
The guys came out eager to play and get back into

Locals capture water polo national title

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter whole weekend. As a teammate on
After trailing by three goals twice
during the national championship, the
Calgary Renegades water polo club
powered back with a pair of goals in
the fourth quarter, to capture the gold
medal.
It was a fantastic game, said Ren-
egades head coach Nathaniel Miller,
who competed in the 2008 Summer
Olympics for Canada. To be down by
three twice, to enter the fourth quarter
down one, and to pull it out showed
incredible resiliency. That is a very im-
pressive group of teenage girls.
The U16 nationals was a final four
of sorts at the Repsol Centre in Cal-
gary, featuring the CAMO water polo
club out of Montreal, Team Saskatche-
wan and Dollard-Des Ormeaux water
polo club from Montreal.
Strathmore produced a pair of team-
mates that deepened the Renegades
roster in Alex Knight and Payton Jen-
sen.
That was the most exciting game
I have ever been a part of, said Jen-
sen. There was a lot of stress that
the bench, we had to do our part to
calm them down, reassure our team-
mates and be ready to go if we got
called upon.
Jensen has been dealing with shoul-
der tendonitis in her throwing arm for
the past few weeks, which also kept
her on the sidelines during nationals.
While Knight and Jensen werent
part of the seven-man rotation that
Miller rolled with for the two-game
tourney, they were still able to get in
the water during the championship
match.
Those two girls were incredibly im-
portant to our success this year. They
might not have played the most min-
utes at nationals, but our success is
directly tied to their commitment and
development. Without them showing
up, getting better, practicing hard,
they wouldnt have pushed other play-
ers on the team to do the same, said
Miller.
Its a pretty rewarding way to end
the season. It just goes to show that
all the hard work, hours of practice
and driving to and from practice paid
off, said Knight, a Grade 10 student at
Holy Cross Collegiate.
Knight and Jensen shared many car
rides together, as practices ran in Cal-
gary five or six times a week through-
out the season.
In the semis May 26 against Dol-
lard, the Renegades led wire to wire
and held off a late comeback, clipping
them 10-9. Natasha Dykman netted a
hat trick, while Johanna MacEachen
and Emma Tufts both supplied a pair
of goals.
In the finals May 27, the Renegades
blanked CAMO in the fourth quarter
to come back for the 10-9 victory. Ali-
son Cameron pulled the hat trick, as
Tufts and Dykman recorded a pair of
goals each.

egades team that leaves on a water

Midget, bantam Reds stay hot into schedule change

Last week, Garrett Hagel was one in-

This weekend, Hagel threw his first

The Reds provided the run support

Crowther students win at zones
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
Junior high students from Strathmore headed to zones on
May 30 at the Foothills Athletic Park in Calgary to compete
for the top spot in track and field.
Zones is the highest level of competition because there is
no provincial competition for junior high-aged athletes.
Natalie Funk, 14, is a Grade 9 student at Crowther Me-
morial Junior High School (CMJHS) who competed in high
jump. Funk battled through multiple rounds with the bar be-
ing raised after each round. Eventually it was down to Funk
and one other girl.
I was just trying to tell myself that I can make it, said
Funk.
Funk and her opponent both cleared the bar 1.51 metres
but neither found a way over at 1.54 metres. Funk won first
place because she had fewer misses in the previous rounds.
Last year I tied for first but I had more misses so it was
tough to lose, said Funk.
This wasnt Funks first trip to zones for high jump as she
competed when she was in Grade 7 and 8. Funk also com-
peted in long jump and the 4-by-100 relay.
Venom nearly catch big break
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Venom trailed 7-1 to the Red
Deer Renegades in the first period on May 27
when they received the lacrosse version of a rain
delay.
Midway through the opening frame, the ref-
erees noticed one of the boards behind the net
was broken. A wide shot during warm up was the
presumed culprit, forcing a stoppage in action.
The delay took roughly 30 minutes, as the busted
board was popped out and replaced, giving the
Venom a chance to refocus.
We didnt get off to the start we wanted, said
Venom captain Josh Hardy. We werent playing
well, but the break in the boards gave us a chance
to regroup and took a moment to figure out what
we needed to do to get back into the game.
From there, the local Junior B team went on
their own 7-1 run, tying things at eight. Unfortu-
nately, the two teams exchanged goals down the
stretch, as the Renegades edged the Venom 13-11
at the Three Hills Centennial Arena.
The slow start could be attributed to some rust.
It was the Venoms first Rocky Mountain Lacrosse
League action in two weeks, following their first
win of the season back on May 14.
It sucked having the break following that win.
We couldnt ride any possible momentum, said
Venom head coach Lucas Bobbitt. Once again,
we got out to a sloppy start. After that, I thought
we outplayed them and we definitely played Red
Deer much better than we did earlier this season.
The Renegades thumped the Venom 16-9 back
on May 6 at Kinex Arena. The rematch looked des-
tined for blowoutsville, until the Venoms leading
scorer took over.

Strathmore Community Football Association badgers Riley Southern (l) and Caleb Stone particpated at
the All Canada Gridiron ABC Border Bowl May 27 at the University of Lethbridge Community Stadium.
B.C. crushes Alberta
at Border Bowl
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
For the second consecutive year, B.C.
dominated the provincial battle at the
All Canadian Gridiron ABC Border
Bowl.
Armed with a pair of local talents,
Team Alberta was looking to put an end
to Team B.C.s dominance in the provin-
cial battle.
Strathmore Community Football As-
sociation Badgers Caleb Stone and Ri-
ley Southern were hand picked to play
May 27 at the University of Lethbridge
Community Stadium.
Southern was an outside linebacker
playing for the bantam Badgers last
fall, flying around the field, levelling
anything that moved. He was named
to the Future Stars team, coached by
Sheldon Stanley. Caleb Stone was a ver-
satile defensive back/wide receiver on
the Mountain View Football Conference
division-winning senior Badgers and
he was named to the Rising Stars team,
coached by Jud Graham.
Playing in the Rising Stars game,
Stone faced one of the toughest match-
ups of his career.
Last season with the Badgers, Stone
rotated between defensive back and
wide receiver. For Team Alberta, Stone
suited up as a defensive back for coach
Jud Graham.
When he finally got out of his first
huddle and ran up to the line, a shadow
was cast over him.
Stone clocks in at 5-foot-7 and weighs
130 pounds. He was slapped with the
duty of covering B.C.s biggest wideout,
a kid standing 6-foot-4 and weighing
220 pounds.
When you first see a guy like that
and you have to cover him, it can be a
bit intimidating. The key was to push
that intimidation aside and not let the
other team see the intimidation. Luckily,
he wasnt faster than me. We switched
up our coverage, using press, man and
zone coverage to try and keep him out
of the end zone. I thought I was where
I needed to be and I was happy with

my performance. I was able to chase
him down and tackle him a few times,
said Stone.
Despite taking care of his check,
Team B.C. got the best of Alberta, win-
ning 46-14.
It was still a really good experience,
I got to learn new things, different
styles of play from different coaches.
It was a privilege to play at that level,
said Stone.
The two Badgers joined some of their
teammates at Cross Iron Mills for the
bus ride down to Lethbridge on May 26.
Upon arrival, the teams practiced that
evening and once again before kick-
off on the 27. While in Lethbridge, the
players stayed at the university dorms
with the rest of their teammates.
Unfortunately, the same joy could not
be shared with his hometown friend
Southern.
At the opening kickoff in the Future
Stars game, Southern went to pick up
an extra block when he felt something
painful in his knee.
Never one to shy away from contact
or take a play off, looking back now,
Southern thinks he might have over-
done himself a bit with the extra effort.
I ended up doing a weird twist and
hurt my knee pretty bad, said South-
ern, who had previously injured the
same ligaments in the knee.
Hes no stranger to the bumps and
bruises that come with the sport. South-
ern frequently missed several downs at
a time with the Badgers last fall for hit-
ting the opposition too hard, only to re-
turn later on.
This time was different. After hang-
ing around a couple more plays on the
sideline, he determined the injury was
too severe to carry on. He did not stay
around to see his team fall to Team B.C.
It was still quite the experience.
There were a lot of emotions running
around, some guys were nervous and
some were hyped up. It was a very foot-
ball-ish atmosphere, said Southern. I
was still able to learn on and off the
field from some of the best coaches Ive
ever been around.
