Many patients require dialysis a treatment that takes

times a week for roughly a four-hour duration. For those

Yet for Strathmores Mike Cooper, along with other resi- Broker Delegate

can be treacherous.
It started with my wife being on dialysis, and the biggest
thing is a couple of times I didnt think I was going to be

Alberta RCMP remind

motorists to buckle up
SGT. JACK POITRAS
RCMP

Mandatory seatbelt laws have been in

effect for over 30 years in Alberta. Yet,
there remain a small percentage of driv-
ers and passengers who are inconsistent
in their use of seatbelts or choose not to
use them altogether, putting themselves
and others at risk.
The Alberta RCMP remind motorists
that no matter how short the drive, its
important to make sure everyone is
wearing their seatbelt.
The proper use of seatbelts and child
safety seats is the single most effective
way to reduce injury and death in a mo-
tor vehicle collision, says Supt. Gary
Graham, Officer in Charge, Alberta Inte-
grated Traffic Services. Research shows
that seatbelts can reduce fatal and seri-
ous injury by as much as 45-65 per cent.
The best way to protect yourself, your
family and your passengers is by ensur-
ing everyone buckles up.
According to Alberta Transportation,
in 2015, individuals wearing a restraint
during a collision had a lower injury rate
(6.8 per cent), compared to those who
did not use restraints (22.4 per cent).
Not only does the likelihood of sustain-

UP

30% OFF
ing an injury decrease with the use of
restraints, but so does the severity of the

TO injury. Unbelted occupants are thrown

around the compartment, striking other
passengers and increasing the risk of se-
rious or fatal injury to other passengers.
In Alberta, the law requires that oc-
cupants must use all available seatbelts

Library still closed;
sponsors receive
sneak peek
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
As patrons of the Strathmore Munici-
pal Library are becoming restless, eager
to tour the newly renovated Strathmore
Lambert Centre, donors received a spe-
cial sneak preview of the space last
weekend.
Nearly 50 donors totalling $6,000
in contributions were invited to the
event on Nov. 18 that revealed for the
first time the librarys much-needed
facelift.
With 8,500 sq. ft. of space and a
healthy $700,000 budget, the facility
now offers quiet areas, proper staff ac-
commodations, an area to display art,
increased seating possibilities, a larger
programming room, updated teen and
childrens area, and even a fireplace
and water fountain.
Its better than I expected; its bright-
er it feels fresh and new, and feels
like a homey space, said Rachel Dick-
Hughes, director of library services for
the Strathmore Municipal Library.
We had a lot of great volunteers who
helped us and it was a long process.
I think the biggest change is that its
more of a community space; lots of
gathering spaces, lots of places to sit
and study, places to play games and do
puzzles, and just sit and read with your
kids. Were hoping through the rest of
the space we can accommodate every-
bodys needs as much as possible.
Nine staff members and five volun-
teers worked non-stop for a two-week
period to prepare the space, including
arranging 25,000 items back onto the
shelves. While the staff is keen on start-
ing to sign books out, the lack of an
occupancy permit and small additions,
such as bathroom stall walls, internet
access, etc., has caused a delay in the
library re-opening.
But Carmen Erison, assistant director
to library services of the municipal li-
brary, said the changes will be worth
the wait.
I know there are delays, and I know
there are people chomping at the bit
to get their books, said Erison. These
delays, although I will admit have been
difficult for the public, have really al-
lowed us time to make this space per-
fect for the public so that when you
walk in the door opening day, the first

provides an open reception area and
offered the library the space which was
then occupied by the towns Family and
Community Support Services (FCSS).
Previously, the library operated in a
4,432 sq. ft. space that failed to meet
the provincial standards of what was
expected when providing an essential
level of service for a population of over
10,000. According to these standards,
the town was only functioning at 57 per
cent. While the increase in space to over
8,000 sq. ft. bumped that figure to 95 We specialize in
per cent and provided a 10-year plan,
it also allowed for additional space to Fresh, Frozen, Take
Out, Dine In and
house the librarys 378 programs of-
fered throughout the year, as well as
the addition of a meeting room, a large
Catering
program room, a receiving room, stor-
age and a lunch room for staff. The
meeting room and program room will
be available to rent out to the public
with occupancy numbers still unavail-
able until the Strathmore Fire Depart-
ment completes their assessment.
With only necessary minor changes
still required, the staff hopes to show
off the space to the public soon.
Its basically been 10 months since
the town came to us and said, were
moving the FCSS, how would you like
the space? And then in 10 months to go
from an idea of a library thats going to
properly serve the needs of the people
of Strathmore is an incredible accom-
plishment from the staff and everyone

The transportation costs alone for

significant especially for seniors and
people on fixed incomes, said Filde-

community involvement and possibly
some fundraising.
Fildebrandt spoke of the success
Brooks and Newell had in fundraising
for the capital construction cost of their
dialysis unit. He believes it is now time
for Strathmore to receive a unit of their
own, adding that the renovations to the
hospital may pose the opportune time.
However, the provincial politician un-
derstands turning the vision into reality.
Im completely supportive but theres
a lot of work to do before we get there
and unfortunately theres a lot of red
tape to cut through, but if we proceed
the way the Brooks & District Health
Foundation has and start raising some
money I think our chances of getting a
dialysis unit in Strathmore go up very
significantly, he added.
I want to work with this group to
set some objectives to what this looks
like and come to an agreement on that
so while they can work on fundraising,
I can work on trying to secure a com-
mitment from the government to fund a
dialysis unit when we achieve our fund-
raising goals.
For now, the members will continue
to send letters to local and provincial
politicians while in the process of estab-
lishing the society.

403-934-5589 It is my professional view there are a number
of changes to the policy necessary to provide a
more responsive service delivery model and com-
munication plan for sustainable snow manage-
ment operations, said Mark Ruault, director of
infrastructure and development services for the
Town of Strathmore, regarding Policy 3201.
My operation staff has really stepped up, and
although we were short-staffed and we had some
senior people gone, our next senior people really
did an amazing job. Was there some faults, little
errors here and there, (and) have we identified
and will we do better next time? Absolutely. But
this goes to the policy issue that we really want
to get to.
In the meantime, staff implemented several
changes to make improvements. These include: in-
ternal communications with changes in protocols
between departments, additional contract resourc-
es, split shifts for longer storm durations, extra
weekend coverage by employees, and downtown
cleaning of bump-outs and islands.
Yet some councillors took issue with blaming
the snow events and errors in policy for the lack
of snow removal this month. Councillor Bob So-
bol emphasized the work that had been done over
the previous three days and stated that updating
and reviewing the policy isnt necessary in regard
to removing the snow, where staff have proven ca-
pable in playing catch-up. Furthermore, Sobol was
adamant about communicating with the public.
There was a comment made a few moments
ago in regards that we had staff down and I think
thats very important, and I wish we had started
through the screenshots I received through social
media, said Councillor Peterson.
I think there was a compilation of people con-
firming their frustration, but I dont think that that
necessarily means that what we did was wrong.
In spite of being short workers and having people
on leave, they have risen to the task and Im re-
ally grateful. I think that it is incumbent on this
council to work with our staff to build a stronger
corporate structure.
Councillor Tari Cockx also commended admin-
istration on their efforts, while Councillor Jason
Montgomery acknowledged the steps taken to
address the situation, the seriousness with which
administration is approaching the issues with the
policies and snow removal, and felt confident in
coming up with a strategy to deal with the prob-
lems and keep the constituents happy. Council-
lor Lorraine Bauer also appreciated the changes
brought forth by administration, especially in re-
gards to handling snow removal on the downtown
bump-outs.
Its really not about your mistakes, its how you
recover from your mistakes; and in this instance
if we use this as a learning opportunity, which
it is, we can see that yes we did have the per-
fect storm, she said. The downtown clearing of
the bump-outs, I heard specifically from business
owners in the downtown area who came to me
and asked me about that. Youve identified it, you
said that the town would pick up that and Im
very appreciative. I think that the combination of
feedback on social media definitely did spur this
into action, but I think that the town was already
going in that regard.

Youth Club seeks funding for Peru trip

MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
The Youth Club of Strathmore has turned their
fundraising focus on Strathmores corporate com-
munity in hopes of securing thousands of dol-
lars to send high needs and financially struggling
youth on a leadership humanitarian trip to Peru
next year.
The club started fundraising in May and has al-
ready received $15,000 through group fundraising
efforts. Despite still needing to tally up donations
brought in through individual undertakings, the
organization is behind the eight ball in meeting
their $50,000 goal of completely covering the cost
of sending 20 individuals to Cusco, Peru.
Thus far, the club has been fundraising non-
stop for seven months by organizing garage sales,
bottle drives and 50/50 tickets, and offering baby-
sitting nights. The organization also received do-
nations through the Jelly Bean Dance, Humptys
Milkshake Mondays, a Car Smash event and mis-
cellaneous donations. With only three months left
before boarding the plane, the club has reached
out to local businesses, financial institutions and
service clubs to make up the estimated $35,000
shortfall.
This is our first crack at a big trip like this, and
I did them before through the Boys and Girls Club,
and so there are a lot more opportunities for spon-
sorships being in a small community is harder,
said Shannon Zieman, program director for the
Youth Club of Strathmore.
We have some higher needs kids that were tak-
ing or lower income kids so its kids that this could
be a real life changing trip for, and we want to
make sure that they can get there.
Five staff members and six parent volunteers
will accompany the 20 youth, aged 13 to 17 years
old, over spring break, where the youths will be
expected to participate in a community project
along the lines of helping with a community cen-
tre or school renovation. The organizers are also
planning on taking the teenagers on a trip to Ma-
chu Picchu.
I think the kids are doing great, said Hannah
Magee, program coordinator and outreach for the
Youth Club of Strathmore. Were taking a different
group of kids and quite a large group of kids as
well, so they have been working really hard since
May, almost every other weekend doing a fund-
raising or community project. Theres still a ways
to go but the kids have put in a lot of effort.
Strathmores Sobeys also partnered up with the
club to offer a 90-second shopping spree to one lucky indi-
vidual on Dec. 16. Upcoming events also include a wine glass
paint night available for 13 years and up on Dec. 18, and
a medium to visit Strathmore on Jan. 27.
We want to keep people informed and let them know
were open to doing presentations and really looking for the
community to back these kids, said Zieman. Not only are
they giving back to someone less fortunate, but theyre get-
ting a life experience as well. This is helping them step out of
their bounds and experience something new.
The Youth Club of Strathmore is heading to Cusco, Peru
from Feb. 15-26 with a work week from Feb. 19-23 and a
couple of days to tour around the city.
Tickets for the 90-second Sobeys shopping spree are $5
and can be purchased at Sobeys, the Youth Club of Strath-
more, the Family and Community Support Services (FCSS),
Value Drug Mart and the youth involved with the trip. For
more information, to sponsor or to schedule a presentation,
contact the club at 403-934-4918.

Balance, not politics, needed in debate on

protecting sexual-minority youth
DEREK FILDEBRANDT
MLA Strathmore-Brooks
Debate is now underway on the NDPs Bill 24,
an act that would make it illegal for teachers to
notify parents if their children aged five to 17
are involved in a gay-straight alliance (GSA).
This bill is entirely about politics and not about
protecting our youth. The NDP know that their
track record on the economy and fiscal manage-
ment are leading them on the path to defeat in
the 2019 election, and they are desperately trying
to change the channel to talk about something
anything other than their own record.
Bill 24 is an attempt with the willing help of
most of the mainstream media to use the desire
of most people to protect vulnerable youth to
divide Albertans for partisan gain.
This issue is far more complicated and sen-
sitive than the usual partisan banter between
parties. Heres some background: gay and lesbian
youth are at higher risk than their peers for sui-
cide, substance abuse and homelessness. Being a
kid is tough enough, and I can only imagine how
much more difficult it would be for kids who feel
out of place. This is compounded if they do not
have loving and caring friends, family and com-
munities. Some kids turn to GSAs for support,
and Bill 10 (passed by the previous government
in 2015) makes it mandatory for schools to set up
a GSA if a student requests one.
Since Bill 10 was passed, there has been some
debate as to if parents should be notified if their
child joins a GSA. Bill 24 would make it illegal in
virtually all circumstances for teachers to notify
parents if their child is involved in a GSA. The
ostensible reasoning behind this is that any pa-
rental notification will out gay and lesbian kids
before they are ready and put them at risk.
If I believed that this was the case, I would sup-
port Bill 24; but its not.
The overwhelming majority of parents love
their children unconditionally, and care more
about them than any government bureaucrat or
parents would not be accepting or supportive of
their child coming out. In some circumstances,
this could even put that youth at risk, and this
is where the government has a legitimate role
to play.
Government should not create a blanket law
entirely forbidding any and all notification to
parents.
A blanket ban on notifying parents is as ir-
responsible as automatically notifying parents,
regardless of the circumstances. Teachers and
other education professionals are better suited to
make this sensitive decision, not politicians (my-
self included).
Bill 24 also makes no distinction whatsoever
between a five-year-old and a 17-year-old. Blan-
ket laws like this meant to achieve political ob-
jectives are overly blunt and do not account for
nuance.
Bill 24 also overrides the principle that schools
have delegated authority over children given to
them by parents, not government. We should re-
member that parents not the government are
the primary authority over children. The govern-
ment should only ever intervene in this relation-
ship when there is abuse or neglect, not differ-
ences over politics.
This is a legislated wedge being driven be-
tween children and their parents not intended
to protect children, but to change the political
channel away from debt, deficits and recession,
to divisive social issues. To do so using the most
vulnerable of our youth is saddening.
Most of you know where I stand on the issue
of personal liberty as it involves sexual matters:
I dont believe that it is any of the governments
business what consenting adults do in private;
but matters involving our children are more com-
plicated.
When we as legislators are making laws con-
cerning the most vulnerable of our children
sexual minority youth we should take care to
put them first, and remember that their greatest
ally in most cases is mom and dad.

Strathmore kicks off
inaugural Arts on 817
concert series
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
In a weeks time, Calgary-based
award-winning comic a cappella group
the Heebee-jeebees will launch the first
of a three-act concert series Arts on
817 with a little spin on the Christmas
tradition.
The four-man band is known for in-
corporating humour into their acts, and
this season they are bringing their com-
edy to Strathmore with a twist on time-
honoured Christmas songs.
Basically, its all their favourite
Christmas tunes with all the wrong lyr-
ics, said Jonathan Love, head songwrit-
er and lead baritone for the Heebee-
jeebees.
We have twisted and penned a
bunch of non-traditional Christmas
traditions. We realized in our 24 years
together that one of the things people
like to do is sing along to Christmas
tunes and its always fun to be in on a
joke. With Christmas tunes, everybody
knows all the words; the minute you
change it you have a connection with
the audience.
The band was formed in 1993 with
the sole purpose of attracting women,
said Love who noted that even aver-
age musicians had very attractive girl-
friends. So, while attending the Univer-
sity of Calgary, the four friends joined
to form a rock band.
When the band received requests to
perform before having a chance to re-
hearse, the friends whove sung to-
gether since they were children im-
provised by singing together instead.
From there, more performances fol-
lowed and catapulted the band into a
relationship spanning 24 years, com-
plete with three Contemporary A Cap-
pella Recording Awards (CARA), eight
CDs, and being the first inductees into
the Canadian A Cappella Hall of Fame.
While the band had performed in
Strathmore once before, they will be
the first concert to launch the Arts on
817 concert series.
I think everybody gets behind going
to a Christmas show and they really en-

The Strathmore United Church will Miriam Ostermann Photo
be hosting Arts on 817 over several
months. The idea of the concert series
came to fruition after the arrival of their
grand piano in May.
According to Carolyn Steeves, a
church committee member and driving
force behind the event, the planning
committee wanted to launch the inau-
gural series with a great family Christ-
mas concert. Having seen the group
perform, they were the first band the
committee approached.
I had seen the group perform many
times over the years during the Christ-
mas season and had found them to be
charming, funny and musical all at the
same time, said Steeves.
We approached them in early sum-
mer, worked out all the details and
signed our first contract in August. That
was a big moment for Arts on 817. Our

tions.
The CSMI was formed many years

that this is where the storm water cur-

Ruault noted that each member will
appoint a director to the CSMI board
of directors where details of the vot-
ing structure would be included in the
corporation and established in a unani-
mous agreement. Council was also in-
formed that under Albertas Water Act,
storm water can be used in limited
ways, and the municipality may reuse
the storm water before it enters into the
CSMI system.
Ruault also addressed the concern of
borrowing from the co-operation versus
the WID, where councillors were told
that funds may be borrowed from the
co-operation, but as WID owns most of
the assets used for the CSMI, borrowing
against them can occur however the
CSMI corporation would have limited
borrowing power.

Langdon sews to keep girls in school
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
For more than a year, volunteers in Langdon
have threaded their needles once a month to sew
necessary hygiene items for girls and women
worldwide, providing them with means to man-
age their menstrual cycles and follow through on
their education.
Days for Girls, an organization that came to fru-
ition in 2008 and has since swelled to over 1,000
teams globally, provides females with access to a
menstrual hygiene management system. While a
chapter was created in Calgary three years ago,
Langdon volunteers powered up their sewing
machines in March of 2016.
In providing the kits, the initiative has noticed
an increase of women completing their education
and becoming a vital role in their communities.
When girls have access to the means of man-
aging their monthly periods they stay in school,
and when girls stay in school, for every year of
education they have, they have higher earning
power as adults in order to support their fami-
lies, said Maureen ODonoghue, team co-lead of
Days of Girls Langdon.
If they dont have access to menstrual hygiene
supplies, they miss five days of school every sin-
gle month, and it doesnt take very many months
to fall behind and drop out of school. If you want
to raise the standards of a community and raise
how well they live, educate a girl. Its been prov-
en to be true, that educating girls will raise up
the entire community.
The initiative started nearly a decade ago, when
founder and CEO Celeste Mergens worked with
a family foundation in Kenya. The first design of
kits for Days of Girls differed greatly from those
used today. It took 28 more versions and specific
designs to meet cultural and environmental con-

The draft agreement, which was established in

ditions in communities all over the world.
According to the organization, over 640,000
women and girls have received kits in over 100
countries. This translated to 115 million days of
education that wouldve otherwise been squan-
dered.
Doing their part to contribute to the cause, any-
where from five to 10 volunteers show up to the
sewing days scheduled for the first Wednesday
of the month with sewing machine in hand.
Although the organization provides fabric, of-
ten donated, quality quilter cotton or good qual-
ity flannelette, volunteers require intermediate to
experienced sewing skills.
We generally are approached by church
groups or volunteer groups that are supporting
schools, and orphanages, and clinics in different
parts of the world and they sponsor these kits,
said ODonoghue.
The kits contain two shields, flannelette
squares, two panties, a washcloth and a bar of
soap, two Ziploc bags for storage and a cloth
drawstring bag. The shelf life of one kit is up
to three years. The work of the Langdon volun-
teers may end up in countries all over the world,
including India, Pakistan, Africa, South America,
and even Canada.
Along with the kit, the women and girls also re-
ceive a training session on how to properly care
for the kits, as well as an education system on the
reproductive systems and a health and hygiene
session known as the Ambassador of Women
Health program.
Days for Girls meets on the first Wednesday of
every month, with the next sewing day on Dec.
6 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Strathmore also has
a group. Individuals are expected to bring their
own sewing machine. To get involved, or for

Spartans set
for provincials
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore High School Spartans didnt need to win
the South Central Zone title to advance to provincials, but
they did so anyway for good measure.
The senior boys volleyball team has known all season
they would be competing for the provincial title, after learn-
ing they would host the tournament.
Having the safety net of one more weekend of guaranteed
volleyball didnt distract them or slow them down at all, as
they downed the Cochrane High School Cobras 2-1 Nov. 18
at George McDougall High School to capture the 3A banner.
We won the games that we were supposed to early in
the tournament which allowed us to rest some of our guys
at times, saving their energy for the playoff rounds, said
Spartans Head Coach Cole Hintz.
After dropping the first set of the final, Hintz noted that
his players loosened up, got back to the things that made
them successful this season and chipped away at the pow-
erful outside hitting Cobra squad.
They are a hard team to slow down, said Hintz. We
hung in there for the second set and once the third set
started, our confidence took over and carried us the rest of
the way.
Winning zones means the Spartans will enter provincials
with a higher seed. Now, they will be ranked No. 4 instead
of No. 11.
Last year at zones, the Spartans were bested by the Spring-
bank Community High School Phoenix. The two teams
locked horns again, this time in the semis, as the Spartans
redeemed themselves with the 2-0 sweep.
When the games really matter, we have a way of rising to
the occasion, said Hintz. We can grind it out, but we have
this ability to raise our game to another level, and thats an
exciting place to be.
The Spartans went 4-2 in the round robin, with wins over
the Bert Church High School Rams, the Brooks Composite
High School Buffaloes, the Canmore Collegiate High School
Crusaders and the Phoenix. They were tripped up against
the Cobras and the host Mustangs.
Provincials kicked off Thursday night at the Strathmore
High School. The Spartans will play three games Nov. 24
with the round robin wrapping up Nov. 25. It marks the
second time in three years the Spartans will battle for a
provincial title. Two years ago, they finished third for the
schools best showing at the tournament.
SENIOR GIRLS MOVE ON
The senior girls team should send a letter of thanks to the
St. Josephs Collegiate Crusaders for winning the provincial
championship last season.
By virtue of their win, the South Central Zone was award-
ed a wild card position for this years provincials, which
came in pretty handy once the Spartans faced off against a
team that had only dropped one match all year in the final.
Like the boys, the girls met the Cobras in the zone cham-

Former Bisons return in AJHL Strathmore showcase
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The fast-paced action of the Alber-
ta Junior Hockey League debuted its
Strathmore series of games last week-
end at the Family Centre.
The first of a guaranteed two games
with the possibility of two more in
the New Year took place Nov. 19,
as the Calgary Canucks hosted the
Okotoks Oilers.
Its almost illegal after the departure
of the Foothills CFR Chemicals Bisons
to talk about Junior A hockey in Strath-
more and not mention the leagues in-
terest in either expanding or relocating
to the Family Centre.
Viewed as a litmus test gauging the
public interest in the AJHL in the area,
276 paying customers filed into the lo-
cal rink with several more kids from a
variety of teams in the Strathmore Mi-
nor Hockey Association to witness the
Oilers skate away with a tightly played
2-1 victory.
The crowd was awesome and the
energy in the building was really cool,
said Oilers Head Coach and General
Manager Tyler Deis. It was good to
show our brand of hockey for the local
people of Strathmore.
While most of the fans were travel-
ling supporters of the two of the closer
franchises, locals did migrate to the
arena that appeared to be about 65 per
cent full.
Alex Wilkins put the pseudo home
team up 1-0 at the end of the first, get-
ting credit for a point shot that rico-
cheted a few times on the pucks path
to the net.
Okotoks answered with a pair of
goals in the second.
First, Tanner Laderoute popped in
his ninth of the year following an Oil-
ers power play, followed by Dylan Hol-
loway scoring through a screen at the
15:44 mark.
It was a fantastic game of hockey,
said Canucks Interim Head Coach Dar-
ryl Olsen. Okotoks came at us with a
ton of speed and theyre very talented,
we would have just liked to have won
that game.
During the first intermission, the ice
was split in half and hosted a pair of
Timbits Hockey games. Following the
game, members of the Strathmore
Storm received the opportunity to visit
the clubhouse and get autographs from
the Canucks.

tion were on hand to oversee the 50/50 sales, along with
silent auction items. Nearly $1,000 was raised by SMHA and
given to the peewee programs.
Also in the lounge were rosters for the two teams. Any
former Bison fan would have noticed a pair of names on the
sheet from last years brilliant season.
Canmore product Landon Melzer has suited up on the blue
line for the Canucks in eight games this season. He was a
healthy scratch in his return to the Family Centre, where he
played one season with the Herd, where he played in 31
games, scoring three goals and 12 points.
Landon is a fantastic kid and a great skater. Right now,
we are just trying to adjust his game at the higher level, said
Olsen. He has great hands and skates so well, but right now,
his thought process is just holding him back. Figuring that
out will just come with experience and once he gets a hold
of that, hes going to be one heck of a defenceman for us.

The sky is the limit for Blake. To see a guy with his size

advance of the 2017 World Junior A Challenge. Team West

Seeing the AJHL jerseys whirl around the Family Centre
naturally got people talking about the possibility of having
a franchise of their own. Bringing a team here would mean
the need for another arena.
Currently, the Family Centre struggles to find ice for all
the local hockey and ringette teams, along with skating pro-
grams. As of this moment, there has been no official decision
on a new arena, but the new mayor has heard all the reasons
for one and has said in the past that he is open to the idea
of a new pad.

Why buy a real tree..
Farmers grow trees especially for the holidays. They plant
huge tracts of land in beautiful noble pines, Douglas firs, blue
spruce, and other favorites. It may take 8 to 12 years to grow
a good sized tree. But during that time, the tree is taking in
carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. It is cleaning the air
and helping slow climate change. If people didnt buy the cut
trees, the farmers wouldnt plant them.
When you are done with your holiday tree, you can recycle
it. Most cities have programs to pick up your holiday tree and
grind it up into mulch. Then it is spread back onto the land to
help grow something else-ormore trees.
No matter how many years you reuse an artificial tree,
someday it will get thrown away and end up in a landfill for
the next 1000 years!
So this year, get a real Christmas tree. You can even get a
living Christmas tree with its roots still intact. After the holiday
festivities are over, you can plant it outside and help our
environment. Its better for us and the tree!
Celebrating 25 years in business!

All year, the Holy Cross Collegiate

looked to be the little engine that could,
but they sadly ran out of gas last week-

far they came.
We briefly met after we lost, and I
took out a piece of paper that I had the
kids write on during our first practice
back at the beginning of the year. I had
them write down what their goals were,
and we took a moment to look back on
our season, said Hawks Head Coach
Myles Pirie.
The Hawks set a very low bar for
themselves back in September: win one
game, win a tournament and compete
at zones.

The display will be open for the public from

Saturday 10 am - 2 pm
Destroying those modest expecta-
tions in four tournaments, the Hawks
won one, placed second and third, and
picked up a consolation trophy. Most
importantly, they qualified for zones.
Zones started off with a bang for the
local team, as they swept the host Three
Hills School Royals 2-0 (25-14, 25-18),
but fell in their second game 2-0 (22-25,
19-25) to the Prairie Christian Academy
Sabres.
In their final round robin game Nov.

Strathcona Tweedsmuir Academy Spar-

I think that Strathcona game got in
our heads a little bit. We have never
played a team with that strong of strik-
ers. We werent the same moving for-
ward, said Pirie.
In the B side quarterfinal, the Hawks
were bested by the Brooks Composite
High School Buffalos 2-0 (22-25, 18-
25), ending their season.
We had a pretty good season. I think
we did better than any of us were ex-
pecting to, said Pirie, who was joined
by Jason Tanton midway through the
season, as the two rookie coaches did
their best to put the boys in a position
to succeed this year.
The Hawks barely had enough play-
ers to occupy bench spots and needed
a player from the Spartans to do the
lines in their final round robin game.
Fielding a roster might be difficult
next fall, seeing as half the squad will
be graduating this coming spring. Alex
Torrez, Connor Pirie, Hunter Biskup,
Kyle Chavente and Ryan Leeper will all
leave Holy Cross this spring to pursue
their own goals in life.
Like the boys, the junior girls season
came to an end last weekend as well.
Without their starting setter a po-
sition typically referred to as the floor
general the Hawks offence struggled
to get going and did not qualify for
playoffs.
The team finished 1-3 at the 2A South
Central Zone tournament in Brooks
over two days of round robin play, leav-
ing on the outside looking in on the
playoff picture.
The girls were pretty defeated by
the end of the tournament, said Hawks
Head Coach Taleah Ross. Especially
mentally, but its important to remem-
ber where they started from skill-wise
to where they finished. I think they
probably surprised themselves a little
with how much they learned and how
much they grew.
The Hawks captured their host tour-
ney earlier in the season and finished
up the Foothills Athletic Council unde-
feated, before losing to Foothills Com-
posite High School Falcons in a five-set
thriller in the title game.
They all worked so hard for me and
Im looking forward to hearing how
they do next season, said Ross.

Bantam, midget WAA programs win after long layoff
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
A two-week break came at the per-
fect time for the Wheatland Warriors.
An odd scheduling conflict in the
South Central Alberta Hockey League
and the Strathmore Family Centre be-
ing occupied by the Strathmore Minor
Hockey Association atom tournament
last weekend gave the Warriors some
much needed time off to rest a couple
of bumps and bruises.
With fresh legs underneath them, the
local double-A bantam team came out
and handled their business, beating the
last place Taber Golden Suns 5-1 Nov.
19 at the Family Centre.
The time off was beneficial to a lot of
the guys on our team and I was happy
with our effort out there coming off a
long break, said Warriors Head Coach
Cody Brown.
Jarred Schrock got things going in
the first by whacking away at a loose
puck on a power play 3:36 into the first
period.
The Golden Suns (2-12-1) answered
1:18 later, but it was the Warriors who
retook the lead at the 8:41 mark for
good, when Schrock was back at it,
slamming home a touch pass from
Brandon McGillvary from the side of
the net.
Spencer Tower stepped on the ice for
a new shift in the second periodand
scored on a breakaway for his third of
the season.
The Warriors (6-8-1) closed out the
third with goals from Domenic Ficaccio
and Ray Warrack. Corey Ross stopped
20 shots in his return to the pipes.
The road will get slightly tougher for
the Warriors this weekend, as they host
the first place Okotoks Oilers (8-4-3)
Nov. 24 (7:30 p.m.), and the Central Al-
berta Selects (5-8-1) Nov. 26 (1:30 p.m.)

CHIEFS HANDLE HURRICANES
There is no longer an undefeated
team in the South division, after the
Wheatland Chiefs knocked off the Le-
thbridge Hurricanes 5-3 Nov. 17 at the
Family Centre.
The Chiefs were also playing their
first game in two weeks. Their last
game came against the very same Hur-
ricanes, as the two teams skated to a
tightly contested 1-1 draw at the Family
Centre.
The Hurricanes (12-1-2) led 2-0 until
the defending provincial champs went
to work.
Jayden Hendricks sniped a pair in the
second period, followed by Brady Skiff-
ingtons third goal of the season.
Adrian Kusu registered his third of
the year on the power play from Ben
Kruse, as Jaycob Masciangelo added
an empty-netter to polish off the divi-
sion leaders. Ethan Rycroft recorded 35
saves for his fifth win.
The local double-A midget team (7-3-
2) played their second mid-week game
of the season this past week against
the CNHA Canucks (7-0-0) of the Cal-
gary division at the Max Bell Centre #2.
They will take on the Foothills Bisons
Nov. 24 in their first game at Hussar
Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30
p.m. They will close out the weekend
at the Family Centre, when they host
the CNHA Blazers (2-1-2) Nov. 25 (4:45
p.m.).
BRAVES SPLIT WEEKEND SET
The Wheatland Braves responded
with a win following their worst loss
of the season, splitting a weekend set.
The local double-A peewee team was
pelted 9-5 by the Lethbridge Hurri-
canes Nov. 17 at Hussar Arena.
The Braves led 3-1 early into the sec-

and a snipe from Nash Wassing. From
there, the Hurricanes (11-3-2) closed
out the remaining 35 minutes on an 8-2
run.
Charles Goll and Jace Koole added
power play markers at the end of regu-
lation.
Nine goals were the most allowed
in any game this season by the Braves
(10-6-0), as their losing streak hit three
games following their six-game heater.
The Braves put an end to the slide
with a sound 4-1 decision Nov. 19 at the
Genesis Place Rink against the Airdrie
Lightning Red.
Connor Radke supplied a pair, with
single goals coming from Colton Gabe

Nwoyes football stock rising at UBC

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
It was the loneliest of Saturdays. Charles Nwoye was hop-
ing to return from injury to play in front of family and friends
in a Hardy Cup rematch, but the University of British Colum-
bia Thunderbirds coaching staff thought it would be best to
rest Nwoyes elbow one more week, leaving him at home
alone to watch one of the most unlikely comebacks in Cana-
dian football history unfold on TV.
The Thunderbirds led 28-21 entering the fourth quarter
against the host University Calgary Dinos at McMahon Sta-
dium. The final 15 minutes were bedlam and saw the lead
change four times, capped off by a 59-yard record-setting
field goal by Dinos kicker Niko DiFonte.
I didnt think they had a chance. We took the lead with 16
seconds left and their kicker already missed two field goals
from inside 40, recalled Nwoye.
Nwoye, a Strathmore product, could only watch as the kick
trickled over the uprights, ending his third season with the
T-Birds.
I thought the game was over, he said. Then a minute
later, it was like, well there goes the season.
Feeling helpless, Nwoye was sitting on his couch in his
school gear, nursing an elbow injury that had sidelined him
for the second straight week, as the Thunderbirds fell 44-43.
The injury, combined with the mind-bending kick, provid-
ed a chilling end for the second-straight year both at the
hands of the Dinos for the Nigerian-born Nwoye. It was just
the latest instalment in the wildly new career for Nwoye.
Three years ago, he had never strapped on football pads.
Spotted at a track meet, he wound up at UBC. In his first year
with the football program, he was on the sidelines for the
51st Vanier Cup, one in which the Thunderbirds shaved the
Universit de Montral Carabins 26-23 at Telus Stadium.
In his second year in Vancouver, Nwoye saw more action,
albeit slightly.
Now, Nwoye was six inches away from returning to the
field in the Mitchell Bowl and continuing on what was a
strong showing by the third-year defensive lineman.
city to live in either, so to help make things finan-
cially easier on himself, Nwoye works nights as a
bouncer at the Granville Room, usually getting off
work around 3 a.m.
The thought of going pro has surprisingly been
in the back of Nwoyes mind since he tied his first
pair of football cleats.
I remember talking to David Onyemata about
my story. It turned out he has a very similar story
as mine. Both born in Nigeria, attended a Canadi-
an university and both play on the defensive line,
said Nwoye.
The reason Nwoyes ears perked up when the
6-foot-4, 300-pounder spoke was because these
days, Onyemata is a backup defensive tackle for
the New Orleans Saints of the National Football
League. The Saints selected Onyemata in the
fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
It just showed me that not having a background
in the sport didnt matter, said Nwoye. He and I
have the one thing you cant teach and that is size.
As long as I keep working, I have a chance.
The numbers are coming along. This season,
Nwoye nearly doubled his tackle total from last
year. Playing in eight games, he recorded four solo
tackles, six assisted tackles and two sacks equal-
ing a loss of nine yards for the unlucky ball carrier.
Strathmore and District Agricultural Society presents
Strathmore Lions Club
CELEBRATION OF LIGHTS
The biggest problem that faced Nwoye was the
stacked depth chart sitting in front of him. He had
to battle for reps in games and in practices against
some of the top defensive lineman in the nation,
including Stavros Katsantonis, who was named
Canada Wests Outstanding Defensive Player, and
Connor Griffiths, who was named to the Canada
West All-Star team.
We still have some very solid linemen returning
this year. Its going to be an important spring and
summer for him. His maturity, new-found confi-
dence and work ethic should separate him a bit,
said Tracey. Then we will see what kind of season
he has and what the future holds.
DiFontes winning kick still stings and will be
used as motivation to get better in the off-season.
That, and the potential pro contract in the spring
of 2019, act as the light at the end of the tunnel for
the Strathmore kid.
Nwoye is elgible for the CFL Draft next season
and has two more seasons remaining at UBC.
If I train hard and show the scouts that I have
potential, then you never know what could hap-
pen, he said. Im thankful for the advice David
has provided over the years. Hes living my dream
out right now; hopefully I can join him on the field
one day.

Kings heavily penalized
against Red Deer Vipers
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The former Heritage Junior Hockey League
leaders in the penalty kill put their defenders into
overdrive Nov. 18 in Red Deer.
The Kings entered that game against the Vipers
boasting the best penalty kill unit in the league.
But at the end of the day, when a team spends
over half the game in the sin bin, it doesnt mat-
ter how good of a unit you have, it will catch up
to you.
And thats precisely what happened Nov. 18 at
the Collicut Arena, when the Kings were short-
handed 15 times, racking up a total of 130 penalty
minutes and a 7-0 shellacking in the process.
We clearly lost our focus, said Kings alternate
captain Brenden Moore. We started taking bad
penalties which only led to more penalties, and
weve already learned this season that giving up
penalties leads to goals and it did once again in
Red Deer.
Leading the way was an obvious candidate, Matt
Thomson, with 23 minutes, to give him 126 on the
season and 788 in his illustrious 101-game HJHL
career the equivalent of 13 hours and eight min-
utes of infractions and majors.
Surprisingly, rookie Jake Johnston was only a
harmless minor away from tying Thomson, as he
finished with 21 minutes in the box. Through his
first four games with the Kings, he only had a pair
of minors on his rap sheet.
The Kings (9-6-1) were doing pretty good on
the penalty kill and kept their percentage intact
until the third period, when the dam burst open
for three goals.
Connor Sullivan assisted on a pair of power
play goals to Cooper Willms and Curtis Hallman,
as Mack Differenz registered an unassisted power
play goal 13 seconds into the third.
The last time the Kings hooked up with the Vi-
pers, the Kings pulled off one of their more im-
pressive wins on the season, clipping the snakes
3-2 Oct. 1 at the Strathmore Family Centre.
The second place Vipers (11-4-1) capitalized
in the rematch, sneaking two past Cole Bright in
the first and second period, as the Creston, B.C.
product allowed six goals on 36 shots and was re-
placed by Kelly with 10 minutes to go in the third.
Indiana Kelly was better in his second outing of
the weekend, stopping 12 of 13 shots.
The Kings were doing a fantastic job with their
discipline this season. Last year, the Kings were
the seventh-most short-handed team, surrender-
ing 205 power plays. Entering the Viper game, the
Kings had only been short-handed 75 times, well
below the league average of 85 short-handed op-

portunities with the midway point of the season
around the bend.
During their six-game winning streak, the Kings
were averaging 3.83 power play opportunities
for the opposition. The total number during that
stretch was nearly matched in one game.
The Kings were much more disciplined to open
up the brief two-game gauntlet of a road trip
against the top teams from the Northern division.
The roady started at the Ron Ebbesen Arena in
Airdrie, as the Kings were doubled up by the top-
ranked Techmation Thunder 4-2, snapping their
win streak.
It would have been a difficult task for any team,
having to travel to some of the toughest rinks in
the Heritage Junior Hockey League on back-to-
back nights and walk away unscathed.
We were with Airdrie for the whole game,
we just didnt play a complete 60 minutes, said
Moore. There was probably 10 or 15 minutes
where we werent all there and they capitalized.
The Thunder (11-5-2) blitzed the Kings and led
4-0 into the second period, as the HJHLs No. 2
ranked scorer Clay Murray opened the scoring on
the power play. Rylan Plante-Crough netted an
even strength and short-handed marker, with Ja-
cob MacDonald supplying the insurance marker.
Indiana Kelly was lifted from his duties between
the pipes following the MacDonald snipe. He only
made 11 saves on 15 shots. Backup netminder
Cole Bright was inserted, stopping all 25 shots in
36:50 minutes of action.
Calgary product Jaks Fairs buried his seventh of
the season at the 3:10 mark, unassisted, and Kody
Hammond scored on the power play at the 16:19
mark from Mitchell Broughton.
Aside from all the penalties, the main things
from the weekend we took away were that we
needed to win more puck battles, said Moore.
Whether its in the corner or helping out our cen-
tre off the draw, we need to win the small puck
battles to control the play.
The weekend set saw an end to the Kings goal-
scoring burst. During the six-game heater, the
Kings smothered teams, averaging 6.66 goals per
game.
The Kings will look to shake the penalty trou-
ble and rekindle their goal-scoring touch Nov. 25
when they travel to the Didsbury Recreation Cen-
tre to tangle with the Mountainview Colts (8-6-3).
Returning home the following day, the Kings will
host the 9-7-3 High River Flyers (5 p.m.), who sit
two points ahead of Kings in the Southern Divi-
sion at the Family Centre.
The Kings are 1-0 against the Flyers this season,
beating them 8-3 back on Nov. 3 at the Bob Snod-
grass Recreation Complex.

A VISION DRIVEN LIFE
The place of vision for life cannot be
over-emphasized for an individual,
family, organization and government
at all levels be it federal, provincial,
county and so on. Vision is one
of the most powerful forces that
confer success and excellence on
whosoever has it. Vision is what
gives meaning to life. The question
is; What is the driver of your life?
Do you actually have goals you set
that you want to live by? If you dont
have vision for the life you are living
now, I will say you need to begin to
picture in your mind the quality of
life you want to live.
Therefore, there are many people
with eye-sights but lack foresights.
Vision is what produces foresight
based on insight with benefit of
hindsight. Vision is what gives ability
to think or plan the future with great
imagination and intelligence. Vision
is your ability to picture a future that
is yet to be fulfilled. There are some
wisdom nuggets that can help you
to develop and realize vision for
your life.
Wisdom Nuggets for Vision Driven
Life
What doesnt go through your
mind cannot go through your mind
life
What you see (mentally) is what
you can seize (physically)
What you picture is what you can
capture. What are you picturing?

It takes an open eyes to have an
open mind
The dreams of today are the
realities of tomorrow.
A man without vision is at best a
living corpse
However, you must be resolute to
have vision for your life, business
life, academic life, marital life,
ministerial life, financial life and
your spiritual walk with God. You
need to be consistent about the
pursue of your vision and be ready
to take risk because it is risky not to
take risk. Living a vision-driven life
is the gateway to a life of success
and great accomplishments in any
sphere of life. (Habbakuk 2:1-3) Hab
2:1 I will stand upon my watch,
and set me upon the tower, and
will watch to see what he will say
unto me, and what I shall answer
when I am reproved. Hab 2:2 And
the LORD answered me, and said,
Write the vision, and make it plain
upon tables, that he may run that
readeth it.
Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for
an appointed time, but at the end
it shall speak, and not lie: though
it tarry, wait for it; because it will
surely come, it will not tarry.

SHERSTABETOFF, Andy MYERS, Bea Elsie - November 24th, 2016

for AJHL
Continued from Page 21
Theres word of one of the Calgary
teams moving to Strathmore or Co-
chrane. I think a move out here would
be fantastic. Strathmore is a great
hockey town, they have always sup-
ported local teams, said Olsen. There
couldnt be a better place to play Junior
A hockey than in Strathmore.
The AJHL however, does not agree.
When commissioner Ryan Bartoshyk
was asked if there were any ongoing
talks about the league relocating or ex-
panding a franchise to Strathmore, the
answer was blunt.
No.
He later added, Communities hold
these types of satellite games for teams
around the league and are executed to
engage those communities in the region
to attract non-AJHL fans to our league
to see if we can expand our fan base.
With no near plans to bring an AJHL
franchise to town, local hockey fans
will have to wait until Dec. 8 for their
next taste of Junior A hockey, when
the Canucks host the defending league
champion Brooks Bandits.
There is talk about two more Canuck
games being scheduled in the New
Year, but the Canucks are looking for
a bigger turnout than the one they re-
ceived last week.

and passed away suddenly Nov. 14, 2017 in Anaheim,
California. He is survived by his wife Ruth Ann and
sons Will (Jen) Ben and Riley, Jason (Justina) Aubrey
and Brynn and Steven and his extended family Pete
(Beth), Lucy, Irene, Dennis (Deb), Yvonne(Ken), Debbie
(Lee) and Michael (Christine) and numerous nieces
and nephews. Andy was raised on the farm in Moss-
leigh. He went to school in Mossleigh and then to
Vulcan for high school. After attending SAIT Andy
returned to the farm where he continued to work.
Processing cattle became his second job until 2016.
Andy loved sports, he played hockey and baseball.
He either coached or watched his boys in all their
sports and then continued that tradition to cheer on
his grandkids. He loved showing all the grandkids his
beard. Andy loved the farm, fishing, holidays, high
school reunions, playing cards, listening to old rock
and roll music. Andy was a man of few words. Andy
and the boys went fishing for salmon, golfing when
they could and celebrated his 65th birthday at the
Blue Jays games in Seattle. To celebrate his life a
funeral service will be held on Saturday, November
25, 2017 at Strathmore Alliance Church at 1:00 p.m.
