As last weeks Career and Employment

Expo in Siksika drew a record-breaking number of vendors and attendees in recent years,
the event appealed to the younger generation
the nations powerhouse and elevated aspirations of collaboration with surrounding
communities, greater independency, and encouraging future propitious careers.
Portrayed as one of Wheatland Countys
largest career fairs, nearly 50 vendors attended the event. Despite the availability of information on possible job opportunity while
facing an aching economy, members of the
Siksika Nation expect the event will have a
catalytic effect, with intentions of addressing
social issues in the future.
Our people need to get into careers, start
looking at who they are as individuals, and
were working towards where our people
can be independent versus being on the welfare system, said Daniel Stimson, manager
with the Siksika Employment and Training
Services. We want to break that chain from
residential schools and what happened to
our First Nation members, because from yesteryears to now it has a snowball effect and
this is why were working hard to provide
events like this.
Understanding that the youths represent
roughly 60 per cent of the Siksika Nations
population, Stimson said hes already seen an
increase in the number of the younger generation graduating from high school, college,
and universities. Siksika Employment and
Training Services works together with various agencies including departments of education, public works, housing, justice, and
family services. By offering events like the job
fair, Stimson and his team hope it will instill
independence among the First Nation youth
and fill vital positions currently in abundance
such as doctors, nurses and engineers.
However, to achieve a greater success rate,
the Siksika Nation is working towards building stronger relationships with the Town of
Strathmore and Wheatland County. Among
the booths at the career fair, which included Siksika Income Support, Siksika Public
Works, and Litipaay Tapi Yoosiini a cultural
and essential skills program - the Wheatland
County office, the Strathmore Chamber of
Commerce, Strathmore-based McBride Career Group, and the Strathmore Overnight
Shelter were also in attendance.

The bridge has to be built, and it has
to work where we have that mutual respect, said Stimson. Hopefully that relationship will be build. I think theres
a lot of room for people to work with
each other. We want to be a part of the
solution not a problem.
Richard Rodgers, who helped organize the event, is aware of numerous re-
sources available in Siksika. Hes been

working together with the nation to
build collaboration between the communities.
They have a great mental health
unit, they have emergency services that
if a house burns down they respond
instantly, they have a high network of
psychologists, mental health workers,
great EMS emergency services, and fire
department, said Rodgers. There are
so many things, that it would help the

county and the town, that if you build
those relationships, then we can help
each other. Theres a shortfall within
any of those areas.
The Career and Employment Expo
ran alongside the Community Wellness
Symposium, and while the job fair resulted in a healthy turnout, Rodgers expects next years event to be larger with
even greater networking opportunities.
With water related claims on the rise

in Canada, Insurance Companies
are stepping up to the need for a
more diverse water package.

If you have ever visited some Asian countries,

you may find you have to squat to use the bathroom
facilities. Its an uncomfortable way to have a bowel
movement but ironically it provides a clearer exit
pathway and the muscles are more relaxed. There is
a special device on the market that raises your feet
as you sit on a normal toilet. Its supposed to be the
same as squatting.
Marijuana is often painted as a safe drug. However,
in teenagers it can be quite detrimental because their
brains are still in development and the synapses
are still making connections strengthened by the
experiences they take part in. The unfinished
brain makes teens more susceptible to wanting to
carry on with the drugmore so than in an adult
who starts the drug later in life.
New Zealand and the U.S. are the only two
countries in the world that allow drug companies
to advertise directly to the consumer. Billions of
dollars are spent on this form of promotion and there
is a move to curtailing this type of advertising and
direct some of this money into reducing the cost of
medications.
In the U.S. there has been a huge crackdown on
health products that contain hidden ingredients not
on the label. These products often claim to help
sexual enhancement and weight loss. Health
Canada in our country is always on the lookout
for these types of products and will ban the sale if
found. Many of these products can be found on-line.
Remember: if it too good to be true, it is.
If you are concerned about a product, talk to us.
We will look into it for you.

Keep the change Ottawa, Alberta needs to stand on its own two feet
DEREK FILDEBRANDT
MLA Strathmore-Brooks

For the first time in the modern history of Alberta, our
government has asked the federal government for a bailout.
Premier Rachel Notley requested a $250 million emergency
transfer from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Ottawa obliged,
handing Alberta its first welfare cheque since the Great Depression.
It was a quiet, but substantive blow to the dignity of our
province and it isnt worth the cost.

Thought for
the Week
~
Without
personal
trials, we
would not
develop
patience or
faithfulness
The NDP government is now on track to run a

$10 billion deficit, more than twice as large as the
next largest deficit ever run in Alberta. The federal
bailout money will cover just 2.5 per cent of the
projected deficit for 2016. It is a drop in the proverbial bucket of the massive fiscal shortfall that
the province faces in what will be our ninth consecutive year of deficit budgets. It will do nothing
to solve the long-term structural fiscal problems
that the province faces
The only thing that the federal bailout money
has done is to allow the federal government to
claim that it has done its part to help Alberta.
There is one thing that the federal government
can do and do tomorrow that wont cost taxpayers a cent: approve Energy East. The Energy
East pipeline would create billions of dollars in
economic activity across Canada and allow Alberta to finally get our products to international
markets. Its a no-brainer for any government that
cares about Alberta and our constitutional right to
trade across provincial borders without parochial
extortion.
Instead, the federal government is abandoning
its constitutional obligations under pressure from
the likes of Montreal mayor Denis Coderre and
the government of Quebec, which recently filed
an injunction against Energy East in court.
The response from our NDP government to this
injunction was to plead with Albertans to understand the viewpoint of the Quebec government
and to not get upset. It was a response unbecoming of the leader of a province that has contributed so much to confederation, and asked so little
of it in return.
Since 2007, the federal government has transferred $79.9 billion in Equalization payments to
Quebec, and it will receive another $10 billion
this year. The federal government is additionally
considering a $1 billion corporate welfare bailout
to the perennially troubled, Montreal-based Bombardier.
Rather than remind Quebecs myopic politicians
that Albertas net contribution to their federal largesse should encourage them to start behaving
like members of a united country, our government
has merely pleaded for a few scraps of our own
from the federal table.
Asking for this money may have weakened Albertas negotiating hand, and for a bargain-basement price.
The fact is that only Alberta can solve Albertas
fiscal problems. It is Albertas government that
has annually overspent since the mid-2000s. It is
Albertas government that borrowed money to finance our deficits, even when oil was over $100 a
barrel. It is Albertas government that is right now
driving investment and jobs away beyond our borders in the name of NDP economic experiments.
These are problems that only Albertans can
solve. Federal handouts that cover just 2.5 per
cent of a single years deficit will do nothing to
solve our structural fiscal challenges. Ottawa can
keep the change.
Albertas government does not control the price
of oil, but we do control how much we spend,
how much we tax, and what kind of business climate we want to create.
A return to balanced budgets is a challenge that
needs to be addressed with a multi-year plan that
sees reasonable reductions in expenditures and
that focuses on getting the best value for taxpayers money while protecting front-line services.
Also key to balancing the budget, however, is
stimulating economic growth and job creation.
This wont be accomplished by lavish new spending programs, but by fostering a competitive business climate that we once called the Alberta Advantage.
Alberta has what it takes to stand on our own
two feet if we will only just do it.

Albertas oil industry and Canadian

economy concern with constituents
MARTIN SHIELDS
Bow River Member of Parliament

I recently had the chance to criss-cross the Bow
River riding, which is roughly the size of New
Brunswick. I hosted many community roundtables, met with many municipal/local officials,
held consultations at seniors centres, and spoke
to dozens of constituents.
One of the common themes that was touched
on at most meetings was the state of Alberta and
Canadas economy. The price of oil has hurt our
oil and gas sector considerably, and to make matters worse, our federal Liberal government is not
giving enough support to this crucial sector.
Recently, they added new layers of bureaucracy
to the pipeline review process. Unfortunately, this
new layer of bureaucracy means very long delays
for approval, that would take possibly many years,
if ever, to get the green light. Take the Energy East
project for example. This project would require
no money from the taxpayer, it would translate
into jobs for Canadians by private sector investment.
There is already a strong regulatory process for
pipelines through the National Energy Board process. Theres no reason why this project should
be held up.
I was able to make a statement in the House
of Commons about the newly started Oil Respect
Campaign, which has been gaining traction in
communities across Canada. The campaign, spon-
sored by the Canadian Association of Oilwell

Drilling Contractors (CAODC), aims to shed light
on this industry, and about the hardworking men
and women that it employs. One of the main roles
of the Oil Respect campaign is to point out the
inaccuracies about their industry that are often
promulgated by mainstream media sources and
by groups with special interests that are anti-oil
sands.
Thankfully, the Oil Respect Campaign is able
to counter many of these inaccuracies with solid
facts. There are dozens of small businesses in our
region that rely on the oil and gas sector. On top
of the low oil prices and the low dollar, what we
need is a supportive federal government that assists the industry, as opposed to a government that
slaps more regulation on major project approvals.
The Conservatives will continue to stand up
for our hard-working oil and gas sector, and will
continue to pressure the Liberals to show our
working families the respect they deserve. I am
very proud of our industry, and will continue to
remind folks that we have one of the most environmentally sustainable and strongest regulatory
systems in the world.
I thank you for your continued support, and as
always I welcome your questions and comments.

Strathmore Pregnancy Care Centre

Imagine that you are 17 years old and your girlfriend has just told you that she is pregnant. Your
mind starts to race with questions not knowing
where to turn, who can help and what your role is
now.
At the Pregnancy Care Centre, we provide information and peer support for men and women who are
impacted by unplanned pregnancies, and resources
for those who are in the parenting stages.
We understand that the challenges facing men during unplanned pregnancies are different than those
facing women. If your partner is pregnant, we can
help you understand the choices that she has to make,
or has already made. We provide space and support
so that you can ask questions, work through challenges, and navigate your role in the decision-making
process and beyond.
Men of all ages and stages of life are welcome. We
provide peer-support regardless of whether current
or past partners have chosen to parent, place for
adoption, or have an abortion. If you need a place to
sort through the emotions associated with unplanned
pregnancy, we are here to help.

PAT FULE
Fule for Thought
I recently ran into a couple of my former high school
students. Theyre actually two brothers who were eating breakfast together. My first reaction was to point
out the obvious.
Aw, this is so cute, the two brothers sitting together
for breakie! Did you guys come down from your bunk
beds together, too? Do you have lots of room for activities in your room with bunk beds? I asked.
They were good sports about it, and we reminisced
for a while. I reminded Chris about one of his verbal
responses once in Grade 10 English. About seven years
ago, we were doing a kind of team building memory
game where the kids were put in groups and had to answer questions about themselves. Then, theyd switch
papers for a time period, and Id ask them questions
to see how well they got to know their classmates. I
have never forgotten Chriss answer to one question!
The question was: if you could travel any place, where
would be your favorite spot? Without missing a beat,
Chris had answered, Courtneys bedroom!
Now, Courtney was one of his classmates, but try as
I might, I could not stop laughing! It was a brilliantly
timed, funny answer, and Courtney joined us in the
chuckles! I did tell Chris at the time, that Id be telling
Courtneys father to be on the lookout for any high
school stalkers in their back yard!
Speaking of bunk beds, I have another friend Ken,
whos very excited about going on a wild boar hunt in
May. He even said the eight of them would be sleeping in two cabins with bunk beds! Bunk beds its
almost like a slumber party mixed with killing animals!
The brochure even suggests bring the whole family for
quality family time together!
I wonder how the boars feel about this quality time?
In fact, they even have a meeting planned for two
weeks from now to go over all their plans. It reminded
me of the sleepover scene from Grease where Sandy,
Rizzo, Marty, and Frenchie are trying out nail polish
and makeup. I can almost picture these hunters, their
planning, and the slumber party pig massacre.
Hey Floyd, help me pick out the best camo shade
for my face! What shades of green and brown would
be slimming?!
Yup, if youre going to be big game hunters, telling
me youre in bunk beds together, sends me off in way
different directions! Hopefully, these guys wont be

hunting one of Strathmores therapy piggies!
Ive also always wondered how hunter-guys go to
the bathroom when theyre up high in a tree stand.
Youd think that climbing down for a pee could be a
dangerous proposition. I mean, what if Floyd gets confused! A bathroom break could turn deadly!
Ken and his wife are also avid campers. They do
have a trailer with all the luxuries, but theyve also
roughed it. The Fules are not good campers. Weve
tried it in the past, and weve failed. My idea of roughing it is a 3-star motel vs. a 4-star. You know, if the TV
screen in the bedroom is less than 32, Im facing the
wilderness! You run in to interesting people when you
camp, or motel. I never actually met this one guy, but
I sure did have fun with the encounter! You see, Im
always amazed at just how much we as a society, use
cell phones nowadays. What I will never understand,
is someone talking on a cell while in a bathroom stall,
on the throne!
Thats where my stranger encounter happened, on
a camping trip in a large hotel. To me, if youre on
the phone in a stall, thats hilarious, and I just cant
help pointing this out. Im assuming the guy was in
business, because he was speaking on the cell using
financial terms. So I began to (one by one) flush all
the urinals. I hit the fan buttons, ran the faucets, and
even turned on the paper towel dispensers! I thought
it would be fun for the person on the other end of the
line to wonder where the heck the caller was!
What, no no, Im not in a bathroom, that would
be dumb! Im just in the hallway, its a busy place! he
said.
Thats when I went into the stall right next to him,
and flushed the toilet! I flushed it a couple more times,
and the guy actually admitted to his caller, that yes, he
was in the bathroom now no, it wasnt weird to be
on the phone yes, hed call back at another time!
Well, my work here is done, I thought, and I left the
mens room! Huh, maybe that was Floyd and he was
planning the costs for the pig hunt?

To the Editor
You can save your Strathmore tax dollars by telling council you want them to
vote no to historic designation of the Anglican Church building and property.
Background
You need to inform council that whether or not you attended the Anglican
Church Property Open House, you do
not want them to declare the Anglican
church building and the property it is
on as a Municipal Historic Resource. The
people who attended the 4:30 p.m. - 6:30
p.m. session of the open house were not
told by the Western District Historic Society (WDHS) that it declined the option
of buying the building and the property
from the parties that purchased them
from the Anglicans. The purchaser of
the property, not WDHS, informed people
at the 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. session about
the offer to WDHS.
Furthermore, WDHS gave the impression at both sessions of the open house
that no Town of Strathmore property
was available on which to locate the
church building. Material handed to some
people at the meeting reminded them that
councillor Fule recognized at the council meeting on Feb. 17, that moving the
church building to town property such
as kitty corner from the Legion would
put the building in a prominent location
(handout is at the web address below).
Moving the building to property along
Center Street by the downtown park with
the lake is an option raised with all councillors, WDHS and the mayor (see http://
www.auctorresearch.net/church.html).
Moving the building would (1) allow
Strathmore to not designate the property; (2) have the building be more prominent and useful; and (3) avoid litigation
apparently involving paying $500,000
to $750,000 compensation to the Anglican Diocese of Calgary. In summary, at a
meeting meant to inform attendees about
merits of viable options, important options were not addressed or partially addressed meaning attendees voting did not
have appropriate information about what
is best for Strathmore.
At the open house the MC, Mr. Dennis Groehof, who controlled questions
answered by WDHS, the Anglicans
and Strathmore announced that that responses to an anonymous ballot that all
people attending the Anglican Church
Building Open House could cast would
give Council accurate feedback from the
public to assist them to make the best

decision possible for the community as

a whole.
At the first session, Mr. Groehof apparently had a question about why the
WDHS declined the purchase offer mentioned above but did not ask for an answer. Furthermore, the Times (March 11
edition) reports that Strathmore officials
knew of the offer and did not have it disclosed to attendees at the first session of
the Open House.
Given that more than half the people
attending the open house voted based
on incomplete information on the merits of voting no and given no control to
see that voters were Strathmore voters
or taxpayers, the survey/ballot does not
provide accurate information. However, if
results were for no, the vote would only
have been more negative given attendees
had been given appropriate information
for voting.
Call to Action
You need to let council know that you
do not want them to waste $500,000 (possibly $750,000 when all bills are paid) of
your tax dollars by voting yes to declaring the church and property a Municipal
Historical Resource. Yes would result in
paying compensation. However, WDHS
can (1) buy the building and the property
and (2) when they are owners, can ask
Strathmore to pursue declaration of them
as a Municipal Historic Resource.
You can write or e-mail council (http://
www.strathmore.ca/your_elected_officials) identifying yourself as a tax payer
and telling them that, as your elected representatives, your will is that the property
not be declared.
Im providing an option, you can send
an e-mail to churchbuilding@telus.net or
chrcbldg@telus.net. You just need to say
I want you to vote no to declaration of
Anglican Church Building as a Municipal
Historic Resource.
Please specify that you are a registered
Strathmore voter and/or taxpayer and
give your name and address with postal
code. Ill only forward e-mail with a no
vote to council and will not forward any
e-mail that does not have a name and address with a Strathmore postal code. I can
check postal codes for being for Strathmore and will. Strathmore will have the
e-mail address you use and have the capability to identify fraudulent No vote information.

To the Editor
I am a member of Senior Advisory
committee to the Town of Strathmore. I
am very concerned about transportation
for our seniors and our handicapped.
We have had a number of meetings
to talk about this issue. This month we
had the Handy Bus people come and
meet with us. I am impressed with the
service that they offer, but they offer no
service for seniors or handicap after 6
p.m., weekdays and no service on weekends.
It is very important that the seniors
and handicapped get to their medical appointments and the Handy Bus is doing a
very good job of this.

The social life of seniors and handicap people is also very important. After
6 p.m., on weekdays and on weekends
they have no service to get them out to
dinner, go to a show or go to church, etc.
It seems that funding is the problem.
Monies for dispatching, more buses or
vans that can accommodate the handicapped. Our taxi service does not at this
time offer this service.
We need to find a way to treat our seniors and handicapped better!

MIRIAM OSTERMANN

Strathmore-Brooks
MLA
Derek Fildebrandt is finding
himself on thin ice among
some constituents, after a
social media frenzy followed
his comments regarding social issues.
Prompted through the online medium of Twitter on
March 1, whether the Wildrose Party was going to
weigh in on social issues
in conjunction with schools
preparing to implement new
guidelines in relation to the
LGBTQ community Fildebrandt took to the Internet stating that while social
issues are important, they
didnt rank in his 100 reasons
of running for office and that
he finds such debates stale.
His comment, which has
since been removed, quickly
gathered attention online, including comments from various New Democratic Party
and Progressive Conservative
politicians. In particular, NDP
MLA Michael Connolly, who
was one of the first three
openly gay persons to be
elected to the Alberta legislature and who visited Strathmore during the Canadian
Rockies International Rodeo,
replied to Fildebrandts tweet
asking whether, homelessness, income
inequality,
inter-partner violence, addictions, hate crimes, and LGBTQ rights are stale?
Although the StrathmoreBrooks representative did
not reply to the responses, in
an interview with the Strathmore Times, Fildebrandt acknowledged that the issues
are important and that the
Twitter platform was not the
proper forum to have mean-
ingful debates.
It was a glib comment that
is typical of Twitter where
you only have 140 characters
to express yourself and its
not necessarily the best way
to do it, Fildebrandt said.
Of course I care about social issues. What I meant by it
was that my focus right now
is dealing with unemployed
Albertans and addressing the
serious economic fiscal challenges of the province. Having an endless debate about
issues not focused on the
real challenges facing unemployed Albertans, is just not
my priority.
Nonetheless, his Twitter
comments had constituents
questioning his reaction.
While some felt it was raising
concern, others stated social
issues played a big part of
their jobs as politicians. According to Fildebrandt, the
social media debate provided
reassurance of the importance of meeting and discussing issues with constituents
in person.
Twitter is becoming an
increasingly silly medium
where its difficult to have a
calm and rational discussion
about the time of day, he
said. Of course people on
Twitter love to work themselves into a frenzy at any
perceived controversy. Its a
reminder why I engage with
constituents face-to-face as
often as possible.
In response to the issue of
the new LGBTQ guidelines as
per Bill 10, which was passed
by the previous government
last year, he recognized its
complexity and said hes
been encouraging concerned
constituents to contact the
Minister of Education directly.

Mothers support
group setting up
shop in Strathmore
MIRIAM OSTERMANN

Being the first among her
friends and family members to make the decision of
breastfeeding her children,
Angela Meyer spent endless
hours researching to find advice and a support network
with other mothers.
When numerous online
sources kept referring back
to the La Leche League, a national organization of volunteers dedicated to providing
encouragement and sharing knowledge with women wanting to breastfeed,
Meyer began reading one of
the charitable organizations
publications, The Womanly
Art of Breastfeeding.
Despite introducing Meyer
to the La Leche League and
providing answers to many
of her questions, the book
also shed awareness on the
meetings taking place across
Canada. Having received the
support she needed from
the group in Chestermere,
Meyer is now launching a La
Leche League support group
in Strathmore.
Studies have shown that
in Canada about 90 per cent
of mothers start out breastfeeding but by around the
sixth month that number has
dropped really significantly
to 24 per cent, said Meyer, La Leche League leader.
I find that a lot of mothers are giving up because
theyre not well supported.
It could be they dont have
support from their spouses, from their family, from
their friends, so they feel
like theyre fighting an uphill battle and we need
to know where we can go to
get help.
The monthly meetings
provide a platform for advice and anecdotes, while
creating a mother-to-mother support networking opportunity. Currently, there
are more than 160 La Leche
League Canada groups in
communities country-wide.
The La Leche League International (LLLI) was established 60 years ago, by a
number of Illinois mothers,
when breastfeeding was
rare. Several years later, in
the 1960s, Canada held its
first meeting in Quebec.
According to Meyer the local meetings will be focused
on various topics, but fluctuate depending on discussions and specific questions
brought forward by those in
attendance.
I really wanted to bring
a group out to Strathmore
to help extend the reach
that the La Leche League offers to mothers in this area,
Meyer said. Many of the
concerns that mothers have
are really about the practical
day-to-day aspects of mothering breast-fed babies and
because leaders have their
own experience breastfeeding their own babies, weve
heard about the experience
of many other mothers.
La Leche League meetings in Strathmore are being
held at the Strathmore Parent Link Centre on the third
Tuesdays of every month
at 6:30 p.m. The program is
free to attend and the leaders can also be reached via
telephone or e-mail for advice and assistance at 403242-0277 or angela@lllcalberta.ca. The first meeting
will take place on March. 22.

Hope Bridges expands into Wheatland

MIRIAM OSTERMANN

With a concrete foundation of programming secured
in Strathmore, a communitybased not-for-profit art organization is cashing in on years
of promotion and establishing
relationships with surrounding
communities by moving ahead
with a Wheatland County expansion.
For years the Hope Bridges
Society established their now
approximately 400-memberstrong community of artists
and facilitators, and developed
a creative lineup of programs.
As numbers continue to climb,
the society is moving full steam
ahead to bring programs to the
communities including Rockyford, Rosebud, Carseland, Hussar, and Standard.
Hope Bridges intention
has always been to serve not
only Strathmore but Wheatland County, said Wanda Reinholdt, Hope Bridges Society
program coordinator. We have
had contact and built relationships with various individuals

within the county, but we have
not until the last year or so really started developing regular
workshops and deeper relationships within the county.
Thats because we were laying
down a foundation of regular
programming in Strathmore
first, and when that solidified
we moved into the county.
The Hope Bridges Society already worked with Rockyford
Community Connections and
the Rockyford Library in facilitating the Zentangle workshop
a method of using repetitive
patterns and in the spring
will offer drawing classes led
by legally-blind artist Pat Timmermans.
While Rockyford was the
first community to host a
Hope Bridges Society workshop outside of Strathmore,
it also played host to the societys annual gala event. In
turn, the non-profit organization honoured the village with
a Zentangle creation at their
March is

One of the key things that
we find is that every community is different so every community has different needs and
different goals. Because of that
sometimes it takes some time
to find the best fit for the community, Reinholdt said. Having these partners that live
and work in the community
and that we can have discussions to brainstorm around is
so essential and we value these
partners greatly. They are the
key to our success, and we
cannot be successful without
them.
The society, which offers
art-based classes and workshops for adults, was also approached by the Carseland
Jett Setters who then received
an introduction into the Upcycling program. Interest has
also been shown for a Zentangle and pottery workshop in
the Carseland area.

Rosebud School of the Arts took learning out of the classroom and out of Alberta in February, on its annual theatre
study trips. The first-year class spent ten
days on Canadas west coast, and the
second- and third- year students spent
fourteen days in Toronto and New York
City. Both groups focused on seeing
theatrical productions and participating
in theatre workshops.
The trips are trying to take the students awareness from a regional understanding of theatre and trying to
put it on a national level, said Nathan
Schmidt, Rosebud School of the Arts
(RSA) Head of Acting, who led the
Toronto-New York trip. To expose the
students to larger centres of theatre and
the professionals that work there.
The Toronto-New York students saw
thirteen shows together, and some
saw up to five more on their own. The
shows included Marriage of Figaro at
the Canadian Opera Company, where
Rosebud-born Keith Hamm plays viola,
and a Russian-language production of
The Cherry Orchard. They took a playwriting workshop with Tarragon Theatre in Toronto, toured BAM (Brooklyn
Academy of Music), and shared conversation with an RSA graduate working
at Sanctuary Ministries, which serves
people experiencing homelessness. The
students also did a wicked cool workshop with STREB Dance Company,
Schmidt said. They explore impact and
falling and positive space kind of interaction. Theyre throwing themselves
30 feet in the air and landing in their
faces.
For Justin Lanouette, a third-year student, the highlight was seeing Wicked
on Broadway. We had a great cast ...
and it was just fantastic, he said. The
lights and the singing -- everything
was amazing. He also enjoyed a workshop with The Humanist Project, where
Literally everyone in our class had a
breakthrough in their acting, he said.
My instincts just took over and I was
just being really free.
Lanouette was inspired to be surrounded by theatre professionals, whatever the quality of their work. Its really

great to see other people doing great

work, but as an artist, its also great to
see people doing not-so-great work, he
said. We grow both ways.
He found it challenging to attend
live theatre with New Yorkers, because
their theatre etiquette is different than
hes used to. Theyre talking the whole
time and making lots of noise and just
shuffling, he said. Yet individual New
Yorkers were always kind. New Yorkers appear often to have this really hard
shell, he said, but as soon as I would
say, Thank you so much, or Youre doing great work, they would turn on a
dime and be like, Aw, thank you, thats
lovely. Its great to hear.
RSAs first-year students started their
trip in Victoria and Chemainus, seeing
shows and taking workshops in dance,
songwriting and voice and body, before
taking the ferry to Vancouver for more,
including a monologue workshop with
RSA graduate Lucia Frangione. (Frangione) has lots of insights to offer, said
Cassia Schramm, the RSA staff member who led the trip. Even during the
workshop, Schramm said, It was neat
to see (the students) monologues become clear.
It was a huge highlight for me to be
able to experience such a variety (of
theatre), said Anna Dalgleish, a firstyear student. To be able to go and just
consume this smorgasbord of art.
I very well may graduate from here
and start auditioning for these theatres
that Im seeing, she said, It really
brings what were studying here and
it makes it reality. ... It reminded me
of why Ive chosen a path that by no
means guarantees success. ... But it is
so worth it.
Traveling together also brought personal rewards, she said. You get used
to living with each other in this environment (of Rosebud), but it was kind
of neat getting to know everybody
again in a whole new place.
Her classmate Mikayla Whitehouse
agreed. The really special thing about
Rosebud is that youre really a relational school, she said. (The trip) was just
one more way that we could grow together as a class and not just in learning
our craft, but in learning just how to
relate to each other and how to do life
together.

Bisons back in league final

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The CFR Bison booked their trip to
the league final for the second year in
a row after coming from behind in the
last seven minutes of Game 4 to beat the
Calgary Flames 6-3 at the Strathmore
Family Centre on March 12, taking the
series 3-1.
The Flames led 3-2 going into the
third period and it appeared the home
side found another gear in the later
stages of the game, a trend that head
coach Sandy Henry doesnt want the
team to get too comfortable with at this
point in the season.
I thought we got out of the gate a
little slow, said Henry. They brought a
lot more than they seemed like they had
a game or two before. But we hung in
there, we scrapped and clawed and kept
ourselves in the game and I guess thats
the key, to give yourself a chance at the
end, and our guys came through.
He said the game was a step in the
right direction for the team because it

showed the boys can battle in games
they are not at their best in and still find
a way to get timely goals from all four
lines, as opposed to the Flames who cut
down their bench as the game wore on.
According to Henry, the checking line
of Matt Davies, Matt Halkovic and Jackson Salt were phenomenal in the last 10
minutes of the game as they kept getting
better, while breaking down the Flames.
The feeling of going back to league
final hasnt sunk in for the team yet, but
Henry said its good for the program
and theyve done the work throughout
the year to give themselves a chance to
win a league title.
Rookie forward Kaden Hanas said it
was great to see the support from the
community, which made the South Division Championship a more enjoyable
experience.
We just stayed calm and had the confidence, said Hanas. (We) just played
our game like we have all year and ended up working for us. This is definite-
ly bigger than anything Ive ever been

apart of.
Davies led the way with two goals,
while Salt, Peyton Krebs, Zach Vinnell
and Liam Izyk rounded out the scoring
in the win.
The Bisons league final opponent will
be the Lloydminster Bobcats and the
team knows itll be critical to be effective on the special teams, especially after having been swept by them in the
season series.
We believed weve really improved
our penalty kill and our powerplay,
said Henry. We need to play them 5-on5 as much as we can, we dont want to
give them those opportunities.
Games 1&2 will be played on March
18 (7 p.m.) and March 19 (3 p.m.) in
Lloydminster.
The Bisons will host Game 3 on March
24 (7p.m) and, if necessary, Game 4 on
March 25 (5:15 p.m.) at the Strathmore
Family Centre.
Game 5, if necessary, will go back in
Lloydminster at 2 p.m. on March 27.

The Langdon Recreation Centre
(LRC) committee began the process of
working to get an indoor sport facility
built in the hamlet in 2013 to meet the
growing population in the area that has
reached over 5,000 people.
LRC president Travis Tweit said
theyre a month or two away from
reaching their charitable status, which
he considers to be a step forward.
Langdon grew so fast, said Tweit.
We dont have any indoor recreation
whatsoever. That was the whole base
for it was to get something indoor year
round for everybody to use because
every community has that except us.
Theres just so many kids in town and
nothing for them to do, especially in
the winter months.
The LRC is anticipating that the facility will have an indoor ice rink, a dry
pad for lacrosse, soccer, weddings, concerts and a fitness facility, while having
a meeting space for all the groups in
the town.
The committee currently has $50,000
to get all the leg work done, while they
are beginning the process of fundraising one-third of the $7 to 10 million for
the first phase and getting one third
from both municipal and provincial
funding.
He added that the committee is exploring joining with the future Langdon
High School in creating a joint-use site
that is currently owned by Rocky View
County and Rocky View Schools. There
are ongoing discussions with local developers.
Tweit said he has been in talks with
Rocky View County as to what further
steps to take and spoke to community
groups as to prioritization.
What weve done as a community
is weve looked at all the amenities in
the community and what were going to
do, said Tweit.
And the first one were going to be
tackling, starting this year, is ball diamonds. Weve got two ball diamonds
that are not usually useable because
theyre under water and the higher level ball player cant play there.
The LRC hopes to break ground in
2019.

Warriors are league champs

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Wheatland Warriors swept the bantam AA league
championship over the Central AB Selects with a 5-3 home
ice win in Game 1 on March 11 and a 5-1 win in Lacombe on
March 12.
Warriors assistant coach Ty Brinton said this championship
was the first hes won as a coach or a player; the only other
time he came close was in his second year of midget.
To actually win it this time feels pretty sweet, said Brinton. We just told the boys going into a barn like that its going to be hostile and you know theyre going to come out. In
the first five minutes they came out flying. We got an early
goal and we just carried the momentum right through.
He added that they just stuck to their game plan, telling the
team to go out there and hit, while using their strong forecheck to their advantage to the point where they were nearly
unstoppable.
It was a whole team effort, said Brinton. Everyone
pitched in. It was from our one goalie to the other goalie, to
all our defencemen. As coaches we couldnt be any happier
with the group weve got, some of the kids are the best weve
seen come through the system.
It was the first time that captain Chase Clayton has been on
a winning team; he said the teams hard work and focus in
every game got them the championship.
I was so excited just knowing youre that close to winning
the ladder, said Clayton, referring to his thoughts in the dying minutes.
It was the best team Ive ever played for. It was a great
coaching staff. The groups of guys are good and all seemed
to gel together. Everybody got down to work and knew youd
be sitting if you werent working hard.
The Warriors will now play in the Bantam AA Provincial
Championships in Taber from March 17 to 20.
Meanwhile, Red Deers Nathan Kartusch broke a 2-2 tie
with 1:19 to go in the decisive Game 3 to beat the Wheatland
Chiefs 3-2, claiming the Midget AA League Championship in
Strathmore on March 13.
Chiefs assistant coach Keenan Desmet said it was a disappointment to lose the game on home ice with a nearly full
house on hand to watch the game, but on the other hand the
boys fought right until the end.
Playoffs is a game of momentum, said Desmet. I mean
as soon as we had momentum, we kept the puck in there.
When they got the momentum back they capitalized on a few
chances they got and thats the way it goes. Sometimes you
get on the wrong end of the stick.
The Chiefs got out to an early 2-0 lead, and Desmet said he
thought the score didnt reflect how the team played as he
thought the score couldve been 4-0 by the first intermission.
While the second saw Red Deer get a goal back, the Chiefs
took a 2-1 going into the third period and coaching staff felt
pretty good about their chances.
I thought we played hard all period, said Desmet. It was
one of those timely goals they got and kind of solidified the
game there with a minute and half left.
Despite the outcome, the coaching staff is optimistic about
coming back even stronger next season.

The Strathmore Ice U14A ringette
team lost 5-2 to Bow View in the bronze
medal game, leaving the hosts of provincials without a medal last weekend.
Head coach Randal Praeker said, regardless, the girls were excited to play
in the environment the provincials provided.
Overall it was pretty much what we
expected, said Praeker. The games
were close. There were overtimes and
shootouts; every team seemed to have a
chance. It went really well. It was eight
good teams vying for one thing and
were all pretty close.
The girls appeared to be nervous to
start the games because of the loud
atmosphere and with friends in the
stands. However, once they got a few
shifts under their belts they were able
to shake it off and feed off the energy.
Praeker said he was very proud of
the girls for battling through injuries
and adversity by having the whole team
together.
It was the process and not the results, he said. We wanted to bring our
best to the ice at the end of the year and
we really did that. They battled hard
this weekend together.
He added that if they were to play
the bronze medal game over again, he
wouldve liked to see the girls handle
their possession better.
The team opened up with a 3-2 loss
to the eventual silver medalist Medicine
Hat Machine on March 11. Game 2 saw
the Ice beating the Lacombe Edge 4-3
and Game 3 was a 5-2 Ice win over the
Red Deer Ricochet on March 12.
They lost 4-3 to the eventual champion Spruce Grove Renegades in the
semi-finals on March 13.

SHS badminton staying competitive

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Strathmore Spartans badminton team is in rebuilding
mode this year, but already has over 50 eager players who
have enthusiasm for the game.
The challenge for coach Kenton Zandee will be to find
court time and getting the kids to work hard at leaving their
comfort zone.
I think we still have a good shot at a zone championship
again, said Zandee. I need to see what our teams look like
putting different players together in terms of doubles and
singles.
I think for this team its about court experience. They
need more time on the court. I want my kids playing in as
many events as they can just so I can coach them after the
match to sort of give them certain hints and techniques as to
what they should be doing in certain situations.
There are 15 Grade 10 boys competing, and to give them
court time, Zandee said, theyll be playing as Grade 11 or
Grade 12s.
I like the synergy in the gym right now, said Zandee.

I like our groups optimism. Theyre really learning and I
think theyre learning off each other a little bit right now.
We need some of our second, third-year players to step up a
little bit and show the way and let our Grade 10s follow and
see what good badminton looks like.
The team is going to be participating in several tournaments this year, beginning in Brooks on March 19, before
returning from Easter break to host teams that they havent
seen before in their home tournament on April 9, including
big Calgary badminton schools wholl challenge for provincials.
Zandee feels their home tournament will be one of the
most challenging in Alberta this year.
The team will be in Lethbridge on April 16, and then back
at Strathmore High School to host the Feather tournament
on April 23.
Counties versus Holy Cross Collegiate will be on April 28
and zones will be on April 30.
Provincials will be on May 6-7.

won silver to take the last provincial
berth, preventing the Spartans from gaining the second provincials berth at zones

Head Coach Dion Galandy said they

to lose only by 20 points, he felt they
matched them the last three quarters.
The girls opened up with a 54-43 loss
to Bert Church, relegating them to the Bside where they would beat Bow Valley
64-35 on March 10 in a game Galandy
said boosted the girls confidence down
the stretch.

The Apartans defeated Brooks 52-45

on March 11, in what was a redemption
game of sorts after losing to them by two
points earlier in the year.
The girls would then face Olds on the
morning of March 12 where they came
away with a tight 46-38 win.
I think through the seniors energetic
play and their determination to do everything they could do to win, said Galandy.
That gave all the Grade 10s and 11s
some incentive to say oh we should step
it up too, and everybody did.
Galandy had a younger team this season and deemed this a rebuilding season
with all but two Grade 12s moving on;
however, his message was clear: that they
were a good team and that they had to
believe in themselves, and by the end of
the year they did that.
I think we did exactly what we wanted
because we believed thats what shouldve
happened, said Galandy.
But with a young team you cant rely
often that theyre going to believe but we
believe that theyre good as they are. The
two seniors, Mady Fisk and Maria Fanning, those two will leave the high school
with a gold zones and a bronze which is
pretty impressive in their three years in
one of the toughest zones in the province.
Meanwhile, the senior boys opened up
zones with a 93-73 win over the Brooks
Justin Seward and Dion Galandy Photos
Buffalos at home on March 9. However, they finished the tournament in Cochrane, where they lost 84-61 to number
one ranked Chestermere and to George
MacDougall 95-78 to finish an otherwise
successful season with a 24-9 record.
As for the Junior Varsity boys, they ended their season with an 83-39 loss to the
Foothills Composite Falcons in the opening game as zone hosts on March 11.
Point guard Pierston Kahnapace said a
lot of the players developed and got better as the season went on and now have
a better understanding of the fundamentals of the game.
When we pass the ball were a lot better team and we can compete with a lot
of these other teams, said Kahnapace.
Our posts, especially learned how to
play proper defense like keeping our
hands straight up, avoiding a rough foul
because at the beginning of the season a
lot of our players fouled out and no one
has fouled out our last couple of tournaments.
Post Isaac Wegner said they had an
up and down season in a tough zone
because they didnt have the size other
teams had.
He mentioned that it was good year
for the players to develop and get more
court time, as opposed to being put on
the senior team where they wouldnt get
much playing time.

Strathmore High School athletes Josh Lawal (l-r), Matt Edwards, Riley Johnson and Marvin Agboro
were honoured by the schools athletic department prior to a game earlier this month.

Athletes honoured
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

For four graduating Strathmore Spartans athletes - Josh Lawal, Riley Johnson,
Marvin Agboro and Matt Edwards - to
get the chance to be recognized in front
of their peers on Seniors Night prior to
a game earlier this month is something
they will cherish beyond their high
school years.
To be honest I thought it was pretty
amazing, said Johnson. I know last year
we didnt do anything huge like that.
We really didnt get the chance to. To be
shown off as a senior, like a player thats
been there a while. I thought was really
cool.
Johnson moved to Strathmore when he
was seven years old and it was then he
incorporated sports into his life; playing
competitively when he attended Crowther
Memorial Junior High School where he
participated in rugby and basketball.
Upon arrival at Strathmore High School
he also got involved in rugby, football,
cross country and track and field.
I think its great, we have some great
athletic programs here, said Johnson. I
think its great to represent the school doing what I love.
He said he likes the competitiveness
amongst the school sports and the most
important thing to him has been the team
bonding where he has made great friendships.
If nothing else, Johnson wanted to give
it his all at zones this past weekend in
Cochrane in hopes of coming back with
the banner.
For Agboro it was nice to get honoured
as a senior, and to play sports at the
school for three years was another way
of challenging himself other than in the
classroom.
He said there is not much difference
playing at a senior level other than wanting to set an example for the younger
players.
Its the same thing for all of our coach-
es, like Riley said, its just hard work,

said Agboro.
He is hoping to play football somewhere after post secondary.
Lawal, who moved to Strathmore from
Nigeria five years ago, had never touched
a basketball and only started playing
when he arrived in town. He gave credit
to his coaches for helping him along in
the sport.
It was pretty rewarding to get recognized in front of our home crowd, said
Lawal. Its pretty nice to be recognized
as a Strathmore Spartan. Its rewarding of
all the work you put in throughout the
entire season.
He recalled when he first started at
Strathmore High School in Grade 10 he
had Kent Smith for a coach, who had a
different approach to the game, and said
that between him and current coach Kyle
Larson, they were able to shape the team
to what it is now.
Matt Edwards came to SHS from Three
Hills this year because there was more to
offer academically and athletically and
said its been a great run with having a
great group of guys around him.
He added that basketball has been a
big part of his life and hed be blessed
to have his dedication show through with
this team in winning a championship after experiencing provincial with the volleyball team.
Head coach Kyle Larson said all four
players are super kids who work hard,
compete hard and have a good friendship
off the court.
Theyve worked at their game, said
Larson. Matt is the only one I didnt
watch for three years, but Matt came to
us with a real good skill set and him and
Josh have absolutely pushed each other
to be better every practice every game.
Right now in the boys program, were
competing in everything; its been exciting around here. Theyre up and down
the floor, they play quick basketball and
its exciting to watch and its been a lot
of fun.

John Benjamin Thompson lived

and farmed in the Duck Lake area
for 85 blessed years. John was the
youngest of four and grew up farming with his two
brothers (Bill and George) and sister (Betty) on
the family farm south of Duck Lake. John married
Mae Hoff in 1956 and together they moved close
by to start their own homestead. John was a kind
and patient father to Kevin, Susan, and Russell.
Through 60 years of loving marriage, John and
Mae raised their family, farmed grain and cattle,
and were faithful members of Our Saviors Lutheran Church and the communities of Duck Lake
and Hussar. John was a respected neighbor and a
humble, generous man. He was a devoted and beloved son, brother, uncle, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, and loved spending
time with all the children in his life. He took great
pleasure in cultivating the land and gently caring
for all his animals from the milk cow to the chickens. He always spoke with fond remembrance
of driving the big teams of work horses in years
past. John remained an active farmer throughout
his life, sharing the farming with his son Russell
and family during the last few years. He was also
a skilled carpenter, building many lovely pieces
of furniture and several houses. After 85 years
serving God, his family and his community, John
passed away on March 11, 2016, surrounded by
the love and gratitude of his family and friends. He
leaves to remember him his wife Mae, brother Bill,
children Kevin, Susan (Rick), and Russell (Linda),
grandchildren Laura (Josh), Heather (Daniel), Jennifer, Ethan and Everett, and his great-grandchildren Brooke, John, Mason and Janine. Funeral
services were held on Tuesday, March 15, 2016

We would like to thank the Spartans council

that they put in for the seniors offering a
wonderful lunch and an evening of cards.
They sent a school bus to the lodge and Sage
Wood to pick us up and memories of riding
the bus came rushing back, we all had a
chuckle about how much better the seats are
now. The students joined in for the card games
and a lot of laughs were had by all.
