Not only is the walk to class now a

HCC tackles exam stress Well Make You

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
Anxiety and stress seem to be an
ever-growing epidemic no matter your
age; it doesnt discriminate. Test anxi-
ety is especially prominent in youth
and school age kids.
Holy Cross Collegiate (HCC) is start-
ing a new initiative to try to alleviate
test anxiety and stress.
A lot of kids get worked up or
stressed during exam week, said HCC
principal Lavern Evans. We thought
if there is something we can do to al-
leviate and reduce that going into the
exam to get the students in a better
state of mind and a little more relaxed,
we would try it.
The idea of having stress reducing
programs was thought up by the HCC
student council. It was widely support-
ed by students, staff and parents alike.
Opportunities available for junior
and senior high students to relieve
stress include a stretching and relax-
ation class in the morning; a calm and
quiet room with aromatherapy, soft
lighting, tea and coffee for students to
relax in throughout the day; and light
breakfast items available to senior high
students.
We are always looking at ways to
improve HCC and this is one thing the
students came up with. We are all for
it, said Evans.
Lollipops are also handed out to stu-
dents when they start their exams to
help them relax. This easy and subtle
idea came around as studies show that

Its important for kids to have a

foods teacher, Melissa Wiley, who cre-
ated a breakfast spread with fruits, yo-

all for giving the kids lollipops during

This has been well received, said
Evans. Its been positive, a lot of peo-

If you have a friend or relative in a nursing home,
you can help improve their psychological well-
being by encouraging them to recount stories from
their past. A few pointed questions can get the
memories flowing and help combat feelings of
loneliness and these stories can be interesting for
you to hear as well.
Antibiotics often do their job against bacteria
by targetting the cell wall and breaking it down.
Researchers have discovered a new protein that
helps build the cell wall of bacteria. Theyve
nicknamed it SEDS and the hope is that new
antibioticss will be created to prevent this protein
from doing its job and give doctors a whole new
group of antibiotics to kill bacteria many that are
resistant to current therapy.
During the period from 1988 to 2016, 2.5 billion
children worldwide have been vaccinated against
polio. Through the work of the United Nations and
Rotary clubs around the world, this vaccination
program has prevented more than 15 million
children from being disabled.
Peanut allergies are very common. A new skin
patch is being developed that will reduce the
severity of the allergy over time. After one year of
trials, results have shown that the patch has allowed
users to eat more peanut protein than before and
without allergic side effects. Whether these trials
will translate into common treatment is yet to be
decided.

Uniting the right gains steam
Continued from Page 1
I am a diehard Wildrose. I be-
lieve in this party through and
through, I know a lot of you
do, too, said Fildebrandt. But
I think that we need to be big
here and welcome all conserva-
tives together as equals, as fel-
low conservatives.
There are several major chal-
lenges that need to be solved
before the two parties can unite,
the first being that the Wildrose
and the PC parties know what
they want to do as individual
parties, but they need to find
common ground and know what
they want to do as a united party.
We need to ensure that a new
party is built on a solid and firm
foundation of conservative prin-
cipals. I think that any political
party is a group of people who
may not agree on everything,
but agree on a broad overarch-
ing set of values, said Fildeb-
randt. We have enough com-
mon ground as Wildrose and
PCs that we can find common
ground for the basis of a new
conservative party.
Another challenge is that the
PC party is two parties in one
right now. There is a progressive
and a conservative, said Fildeb-
randt adding that there are some
Liberal left members who joined
the PC party years ago for the
perks, which resulted in many
true conservatives leaving the
PC party.
They are weeding themselves
out, they know their days are
limited, he added.
There are also conservatives
who dont agree with joining the
two parties to create one unified
party. Fildebrandt believes that
around 90 per cent of conserva-
tive members agree but that it
is not worth putting Albertas fu-
ture in jeopardy for the 10 per
cent who disagree with uniting
parties.
There are also legal challeng-
es with unifying the two politi-
cal parties as the law in Alberta
does not explicitly allow two
parties to unite. That doesnt

mean that we cant do it, but it
means that it is going to be dif-
ficult, said Fildebrandt, adding
that some legal challenges will
be sensitive to address.
Sensitive legality issues arise
with the presented options from
party leaders about how to form
a unified conservative govern-
ment. PC leader Jason Kenney
wishes to deregister both the
PC and the Wildrose parties,
forfeit the financial assets of
each party and register a legally
new party. Wildrose leader Bri-
an Jean wishes to create a new
party, but keep the legal and fi-
nancial foundation of the party
that has the most money in the
bank (namely the Wildrose by a
substantial dollar figure), so that
the new party has some money
to operate with right out of the
gate.
Fildebrandt acknowledges
there are merits to both ap-
proaches but that the best so-
lution may be somewhere in
the middle. I think the best
path forward is going to be a
new party that treats members
equally from both legacy par-
ties, but that definitely keeps the
financial assets of the Wildrose
party, he said, also stating that
the Strathmore Brooks Wildrose
raised more money in 2016 than
any constituency in any party
in Alberta, and that he does not
want the donations to be lost
but instead be used to fight in
the next election.
Whatever legal obstacles that
are in the way are not so great
that we cant overcome them if
we are dealing with one another

A true conservative is a con-

that there is a progressive side
to the conservative party. Those
are the people that are not hap-

New Catholic school planned
in Wildflower Ranch
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Expanding numbers of school-aged children
are spurring Strathmore town council to consider
a new school location to allow an earlier build
date for a Catholic school planned in Wildflower
Ranch.
The developer, Cancorp [Property Group],
Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools and town
administration support constructing a school in
Wildflower Ranch at this revised location, said
Mike Marco, senior development officer with the
Town of Strathmore. This amendment of the area
structure plan will facilitate future land use by-
law amendment and subdivision applications, to
enable the development of a school at a much
earlier date.
The school site was originally planned for just
north of the current Wildflower Ranch boundary.
The site has since been moved to a 10-acre plot
on the west boundary along a primary roadway,
which will accommodate the school and a sports
field.
Anticipated growth for the Wildflower Ranch
subdivision may reach a population of about
5,600 people.
A public hearing for the area structure plan is set
SUSTAINABLE WATER WAGON
Discussions on the use of the water wagon,
donated by the Alberta 55 Plus games, led to a
directive for Town of Strathmore administration
to generate policy and procedures for use of the
wagon by the town.
Council asked that the policy include addressing
Alberta Health standards, and services for clean-
ing and maintenance. Strathmore town council-
lor Denise Peterson asked if the wagon could be
used by other community organizations and this
option be summarized in the report. Coun. Steve
Grajczyk asked that a policy for any goods do-
nated to the town also be included, along with
the full budget and operating costs.
SENIORS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Seniors Advisory Committee was set up by
the Town of Strathmore to enhance access by the
elderly to town services. The committee gathers
information on gaps and barriers in those servic-
es and comes up with suggestions for resolution
of problems. The eight-member committee and
one town council member meet once a month,
excluding August, to discuss issues. They serve on
a volunteer basis.
Council received communications of the vol-
unteer applications for this committee. There are
two vacancies at this time, said Strathmore town
clerk Jennifer Sawatzky.
Roberta and Laura Phillips received appoint-
ments to the Seniors Advisory Committee on Jan.
25 and will serve until October 2018. Members
agree to participate for a two-year term.
SUPPLEMENTARY ASSESSMENT BYLAW
Annually, the Town of Strathmore passes a by-
law to allow assessors to make supplementary as-
sessments on new construction. Council passed

at the Jan. 25 council meeting. This applies to any
improvements made in 2017, but not previously
assessed, or those that increase values since the
last assessment was done.
In 2016, $50,249 was generated through supple-
mentary assessment taxes, and 2015 had $95,436.
I believe that it will be lower this year, closer
to $20,000 to $40,000, said Mel Tiede, director of
corporate services.
UTILITY REVENUE AND EXPENSE REVIEW
On Jan. 25, Strathmore town council reviewed a
breakdown of expenditures and revenues for the
2014-2015 utility services. They summarized ag-
gregate sales and the cost of running the utilities,
excluding the debt repayment amounts on loans
taken out for infrastructure, which include things
like the Calgary water line, wastewater treatment
plant and connections for the Wildflower Ranch
subdivision. Compilation of the 2016 figures has
delayed last years summary inclusion in the re-
port, but will be submitted to town council, as
figures are available.
Each year the services have run at an approxi-
mate $1.4 to $1.5 million deficit. Town adminis-
tration asked council to consider that investment
initiatives are prudent to offset depreciation costs
of aging infrastructure.
Council took the report as information for con-
sideration.
PUBLIC ACCESS COMPLAINT
The Strathmore Business Association (SBA)
has directed correspondence to Strathmore town
council complaining of administrations delays in
publishing council meeting agendas and videos,
not publishing times for special meetings and
locking doors to public meetings. They requested
an investigation and explanation on those delays.
This is disrespectful to the public, as they dont
know when they will be admitted, said an SBA
spokesperson at the Jan. 25 town council meet-
ing.
While there may be reasons such as technical
difficulties or staff turnover that would explain
delays, the reasons were not made public by ad-
ministration.
Council directed administration to compile a re-
port and present at the next council meeting on
Feb. 1.
SUPPORTING NEIGHBOURS
Strathmore town councillor Denise Peterson
asked her fellow council members to write a let-
ter of support to the Alberta Municipal Affairs
minister, in regards to Wheatland Countys re-
quest to opt out of the Regional Growth Manage-
ment Partnership. Alberta Municipal Affairs has
included areas west of Hwy. 21 in the partnership
mandate.
I have sympathy for them in trying to do this. I
see no advantage for them to be in a partnership
if they dont want to be, said Peterson.
Councillor Bob Sobol stated that until the
partnership defines policies and procedures for
growth management, it is difficult for him to
know how to appropriately address content for
the correspondence.
Peterson offered to work with administration to
draft a letter and bring it forward for council re-
view at a later meeting.

Bringing awareness
to car seat safety
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
After sharing her story and bringing aware-
ness to used car seat safety on Global Edmonton,
Emma Hunter, child passenger safety technician
(CPST) for the child passenger safety association
of Canada (CPSAC), wants to bring even more
awareness on the dangers of misuse of car seats
in Strathmore.
There is more misuse of car seats than there is
perfect practice, said Hunter. There are always
lots of changes from the manufacturers and differ-
ent uses for different seats. Its a bank of knowl-
edge the average person doesnt know about. But
we are car seat nerds and we love to learn about
them and about changes and what is best with
each seat, she said.
Hunter got involved with CPSAC while she was
living in Nova Scotia and was running a day home.
She saw that there was a course being offered at
the local hospital and thought it would be a good
thing to learn because everything related to chil-
dren and childrens safety is important to her.
CPSAC is a non-profit organization that brings
awareness to the proper use of vehicle child safe-
ty restraint systems, mainly boosters and car seats.
Most CPSTs dont charge for a seat check; how-
ever, since the techs are doing it on their own
time and their own dollar, donations are always
welcome.
We are passionate about it. We are passionate
about sharing the education and information that
we have and we are passionate about keeping
children safe, said Hunter.
CPSTs can do anything related to vehicles child
safety restraints. Hunter does house calls, on her
own time when it is convenient to her, to check
over boosters and cars seats and make sure they
are not expired, damaged, and are compliant. She
will then use the manual to properly install it in
your car during her checks. She can also put on
clinics about proper use of child safety restraints,
and she runs a Facebook page where people can
ask questions about car seats and boosters and
she will be able to answer them. She also posts
about deals on car seats.
The car seat has to fit your child, fit your bud-
get, and fit your car properly, said Hunter. Not
all car seats fit in cars and not all children fit in
car seats.
When she first moved here two and a half years
ago with her family, they had nothing but the
clothes on their backs. The community of Strath-
more donated to her family so they could furnish
their apartment and have things for their kids.
Now, Hunter wants to pay back the communitys
generosity by way of educating people and keep-
ing their children safe.
I want to pay it back and to help, said Hunter.
It makes me feel good to help and I have been
helped by the people here. I want to be a part of
the sense of community that Strathmore has.
The most important thing Hunter says to look
for when buying a new car seat is to make sure
it fits in your car properly, research the car seat
ahead of time to make sure it will work well for
you, to read the manual to ensure you set up your
seat properly, to make sure you know how to use
the seat properly, and if you have any questions at
all to contact a CPST.

berta) and encourages anyone to visit it if they
have any questions.
When Hunter first moved to Alberta there were
only 10 techs in all Alberta; now there are over 30.
CPSAC is setting up more training opportunities
in the future for any Albertans passionate about
car seats or about child safety. But until then, you
can contact a current tech to make sure your ve-
hicle child safety restraint system is safe.
I would love to get Strathmore a lot safer than
they are and give more information to people.
There needs to be a lot more knowledge out there
on what is safest with car seats and boosters, said
Hunter. The law (on car seats) is very basic and
dated. Because laws take forever to change, rather
than trying to get it changed we are just doing
more and doing better and safer by our children
because of our new knowledge based off studies
done on car seats, while the law still stays the
same. We are trying to promote what is safer for
your children, not just the law.
Hunter says the main things to know about buy-
ing used car seats is their history. You need to
make sure the seat hasnt expired, been in a col-
lision or been recalled; isnt missing parts, dam-
aged, or been submerged in water or cleaned
with chemicals, has the manual with installation
instructions, make sure it has a national safety
sticker and is 2012 compliant.
Some seats still in use were manufactured be-
fore 2012, but the compliancy law changed in
2012. Those seats are okay to use by your family
but it is illegal to resell or give those seats away.
If you need to use a used seat, then you need
to know the history from it. And preferably get it
from a good friend you trust and not just some
random off Kijiji, said Hunter. The biggest thing
is, would you trust this person (youre getting the
seat from) with your kids life.

REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS ~ Bert and Carol Katterhagen

JOHN GODSMAN
Times Contributor
Berts family name was originally
Koetterhagen and they have traced this
name back to Germany in the 1800s.
In the early 1900s the family moved
to Wisconsin, and the name changed
to Ketterhagen. His grandfather moved
again to Uniontown, Washington State,
(north of Lewiston) to start farming,
and the name became Katterhagen.
In 1917, he moved to the Rockyford
area to acquire land from the federal
government and CPR. The plan was
to take advantage of this cheap land,
by purchasing 3,000 acres - then re-
turn to Washington state and purchase
more land there. But, this plan didnt
come to fruition and they ended up
selling the Washington land, and keep-
ing their land in Alberta. They came to
Rockyford, as there was already a Ger-
man settlement here.
Berts father, Harvey Katterhagen,
was born in Uniontown, Wash. in 1901,
the second of four brothers. The 3,000
acres were split between three of the
brothers - Irvin, Harvey (Berts Dad)
and Lambert (nicknamed Skinner).
Apparently, Skinner was known
for his ability to move a piece of farm
equipment through a gate without
damaging anything! Hence the nick-
name!
Harvey married Winifred Ardis Scha-
fer in 1926. The Schafer family came
from Edwardsville, Ill. in 1909.They
had four children of which Bert was
number three, born in 1936.
He has one brother Harvey Jr and
two sisters Caroline and Sylvia. After
attending school at St Ritas Catholic
School in Rockyford through Grade
12, Bert farmed with his father and
brother Harvey Jr. Regretfully, their
Dad was killed in a farming accident
in June 1958.
In 1971, brother Harvey sold his por-
tion of the farm and moved to Calgary.
To this day, Bert continues to operate
and live on the family farm, which in
the past has had cattle, etc., but is now
only grain. This year, 2017, the farm

tarial College in Saskatoon for a year,
followed by working as a secretary
with different companies in Saskatch-
ewan, Calgary and San Francisco.
After moving to Calgary in the early
1960s, she shared an apartment with
Berts sister Sylvia and they worked
in San Francisco for a year. Carol and
Bert were married in 1965. They have
one son Ross and two daughters Lisa
and Cheryl, and four grandchildren.

Town increases utility
franchise fees
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Money to pay for things
has to come from some-
where, and Strathmore town
council is trying to find a
few extra dollars by increas-
ing electric and gas franchise
fees.
This evening we are con-
sidering both the franchise
fees for electricity and the
next item is for natural gas.
Included in the town bud-
get and the long term bud-
get plan, there was provision
to adjust the fees, said Mel
Tiede, director of corporate
services at the Jan. 25 town
council meeting.
A franchise fee is paid by a
utility company to a munici-
pality to use their right-of-
ways to install pipes, lines,
poles and other infrastruc-
ture. The utility company
passes those increases on to
its consumers, collects it and
turns it over to the munici-
pality for use. The fees are
usually a flat fee or based on
consumption. A formula set
out in the Municipal Govern-
ment Act is used to calculate
franchise fees.
All provincial funded in-
stitutions, such as schools
and seniors lodges, pay no
property tax. Franchise fees
are the only source of rev-
enue from those provincially
funded institutions. Those
institutions make up about
10 per cent of all the proper-
ties in the town, said Tiede.
Churches and libraries also
fall in that category, but they
only form a small portion of
the provincially funded insti-
tutions.
Times TIDBITS
Did You Know?
There are 119 single men - never married, widowed or divorced
- in their 20s for every 100 single women of the same age.
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names to see
who their Valentine would be. They would wear the name pinned
to their sleeve for one week so that everyone would know
their supposed true feelings.
Strathmore - 225B Wheatland Trail | 403-934-3770
Tiede said the current
10 per cent fee has raised
$663,500 in 2016. By raising
the electric rate to 13.52 per
cent and the gas to 17.22 per
cent, it places Strathmore
rates about mid-range to
other communities in Alber-
ta. High River currently has a
20 per cent electric franchise
fee and Airdrie has a 32.1
gas franchise fee.
Tiede anticipates the raise
will cost about $2.37 extra a
month on electric bills, based
on an approximate 625 kW
usage monthly, which is av-
erage for Albertans. The gas
bill will increase about $2.63
a month, based on about 320
gigajoules use per year. Tie-
de said the goal was to keep
the increase for both under
$5 per resident per month.
The increase will generate
another $140,500 for munici-
pal coffers, and will take ef-
fect April 1, 2017.
If the fees were not
charged, the shortfall would
need to come from town re-
serve funds.
With the Town of Strath-
more being able to keep
property taxes low in the
last few years, and that pro-
vincially funded institutions
and schools are paying no
property taxes, this is a way
to generate funds for much
needed projects, said town
Coun. Pat Fule.If we are
going to move forward as
a community, we cant con-
tinue to have zero property
tax increases. At some point
we have to generate reve-
nue. This is more equitable
because it covers institutions
and lodges that dont pay
property tax.

Yarn bomb project brings
community together
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter project Hope Bridges has done, there
Two vintage bicycles are receiving
unconventional updates at the current
community project classes at Hope
Bridges.
The bicycles are becoming yarn
bombed: yarn is wrapped, crocheted
and knitted, then weaved around the
bicycles frame and other parts, thus
turning the bicycles into pieces of art.
This is our first yarn bombing proj-
ect, said Wanda Reinholdt, coordina-
tor at Hope Bridges. It is a commu-
nity project that was done with our
upcycling group as well as our knit-
ting and crocheting community.
The idea came about after a Hope
Bridges facilitator stumbled upon a
beautiful yarn-bombed bike during a
trip to Norway.
We thought it would be a fun,
unique and different project that Hope
Bridges could do with the commu-
nity, said Reinholdt, who added that
everything the non-profit organization
does is to bring adults from the com-
munity together to connect and create.
The two vintage bikes were pur-
chased last August from Good Life
Bike Shop in Calgary, and since then
they have been undergoing a remark-
able transformation. After the bikes
were deemed to be in good working
order, they became the community
project that they are today.
Signs are currently being created to
identify each of the two bicycles: the
blue bike is named Go with the Flow
and the red bike titled This is my Hot
Rod and Keep it Spicy.

Internet safety message resonates

SABRINA KOOISTRA was presented by Paul Davis, who has

technology (IT) and is a presenter to
The Internet is a font of information the Department of National Defense in
and entertainment. But it can also har- Ottawa, Canada Border Services, Alber-
bour danger to unwitting individuals. ta RCMP, and schools spanning Canada
With that in mind, the Strathmore and the United States.
Youth Club recently held an Internet Davis career as a full-time Internet
safety workshop, where about 1,100 safety specialist skyrocketed when Da-
students and 100 parents learned about vis was asked by his daughters school
the harsh realities of Internet use and to address the topic of why kids get in
how to be successful and responsible trouble on the Internet. Davis has since
digital citizens. devised an Internet safety program for
Social Networking and Online Safety students in Grades 4-6, in Grades 7-12
and for parents.
Though this message is often met with
resistance, Davis urges mature elemen-
tary students to eliminate themselves
from the social media scene. Statistics
from a 2015 survey of American mid-
western middle schools concluded that
34.4 per cent of students had been cy-
ber-bullied at some point in their lives.
These personal attacks, perpetrated by
online creepers, could be proactively
avoided by disallowing young children
from engaging in activity on social me-
dia sites they are prohibited from hav-
ing an account on.
My message is very stern, but its
very effective, said Davis. Some kids
dont like it because they know Ive told
them to go home and do the complete
opposite of what they think is fine. This
is how kids get hurt. So my message to
those kids is, be a kid and get on tech-
nology when allowed to.
As a healthy alternative, blogging,
coding, downloading educational apps,
and programming apps of their own are
just some of the ways Davis advises el-
ementary students to just be kids, and
then revisit the idea of social media
when they are legally allowed to.
I cant blame a child because theyre
curious, and you have to love a childs
curiosity, he noted. But if parents dont
read the rules, we as parents put our
children in those positions to get hurt.
For students in junior and senior high
school who are within the acceptable
age of social media participation, Davis
advises students to take an active role
in responsible and accountable Internet
activity. With the fear of pornography,
sexting, phishers and technological
break-ins looming, teens are at a high
risk for personal destruction on Inter-
net sites which could be prevented by
addressing safe technological practices
prior to any incidents.
Creepers have a wonderful way of
telling who the kids are and creating
fake accounts to build relationships
with them, said Davis. (And) Ive been
proving that every day to the shock of
parents.
Addressing the reality of job and ca-
reer searches for young adults, Davis ad-
vises students to be wary of either pro-
vocative or profane posts and photos.
Though it may seem unfair, profiling oc-
curs on a daily basis. And especially in
a small town, personal protectionism on
technology is of the utmost importance.
Ultimately, Davis strongly encourages
parents to understand and monitor their
childrens technology time, and to be
aware of the influence technology can
have on the lives of their children and
themselves.

New book
store opens
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
It started out as an online store last October
but now it has a location in Strathmore: the Olive
Branch Christian Bookstore opened its doors to
the public for the first time on Feb. 4 in the Leary
Centre.
Owner Grace Dewan hopes her Christian book-
store will help Strathmore, Calgary and the sur-
rounding communities to be inspired by faith and
to come together.
By noon on grand opening day there had al-
ready been around 30 people stopping in to see
the new store; the first 20 customers also received
a 20 per cent discount off their purchase.
Its not just about selling books, bibles and
products, its about reaching out to others and
sharing the gospel, said Dewan.
The store boasts a variety of books, including
bibles and Christian living books by popular pas-
tors such as Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer and Joseph
Prince. There are books on healing, childrens
books, notebooks, knickknacks and inspirational
art.
The books on healing can be helpful because
sometimes it helps reading other books to get in-

Bears bash Kings
in playoff opener
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Wheatland Kings came out and laid an
ostrich-sized egg in Tuesday nights Game 1 of the Heritage
Junior Hockey League playoffs.
After finishing the regular season 16-18-4 with 36 points,
the fourth-place Kings earned the right to host the Banff
Academy Bears (11-22-5) in the best-of-three Southern divi-
sion quarterfinals.
These two teams met at the same spot last year, but it
was the Bears who finished atop the Kings in the standings.
Despite opening on the road, the Kings won the opener 7-5
in Banff and celebrated the clinching win on home ice in
a 4-3.
Home ice wasnt nearly as friendly as the Kings were
hoping for. The Bears dominated the first period, putting
three goals in a span of five minutes past Brady Hoover, en
route to a 6-1 win over the Kings
You can say youre ready and say your mentally pre-
pared, but when you put in that kind of effort, it shows
you arent ready, said Kings head coach Shadoe Stoodley.
Maybe because we had a good record against them in the
regular season, they thought it was going to be a cake walk
and we thought we were going to come away with an easy
win, but we came out flat footed, our dee zone was atro-
cious, our goaltending was weak, nobody helped anyone
out there.
Hoover had been sidelined with a lower-body injury he
sustained Jan. 6 during a 6-3 loss to the Cochrane Generals.
He returned for the regular season finale against the Coal-
dale Copperheads after missing nine games. He played 51
minutes, making 36 saves on 45 shots and told the coach-
ing staff that he felt fine after the game. The Kings coaching
staff did not comment in regards to their Game 2 goalten-
der following the game.
Following Nathan Cohen-Wallis marker at the 9:27 mark,
Hoover was relieved of his duties after making five saves
for Indiana Kelly.
A couple weird bounces were the death of me tonight,
said Hoover. Its kind of hard to recreate the game settings
and the playoff pressure; it just wasnt my night tonight.
Whatever the message was during the intermission, it
was definitely loud, and probably clear. The Kings came
out in the second and there was more of an effort not only
directing more pucks at net, but more bodies as well. The
only problem was, nothing went in.
The Kings were playing drastically short handed. Alter-
nate captain was serving his second game of a three-game
suspension for fighting, Matt Thomson was serving his
one game suspension after picking up a pair of 10-minute
game misconducts in the regular season finale, defense-
men Hayden Vanderploeg was away studying, both George
Montour and Christian Halman were nursing lower body
injuries and Nolan Lightning was unable to attend the
game. Filling in were affiliated players Cort Armstrong and
Will Kathol, who were both playing in their first game with
the club.
We need a full roster and the guys who are out, are

Spartans beat Spartans as Strathmore sweeps Strathcona

Times Reporter 0) Feb. 13 (7:15 p.m.). The Spartans also host their
Caleb Funk threw a block party Monday night
and everybody was invited.
The Strathmore High School senior boys basket-
ball team downed the 0-8 Strathcona-Tweedsmuir
Spartans 73-55 during Foothills Athletic Council ac-
tion Feb. 6 at the Strathmore High School gym.
Funk narrowly missed recording one of the rar-
est triple-double performances after accumulating
nine points, eight rebounds and a Manute Bol-ian
nine blocks.
Hes a volleyball player first, so he knows how
to go up and time those blocks well and stay out
of foul trouble, said Strathmore head coach Matt
Laslo.
Both Spartan defenses imposed full-court press-
es early, grinding down the pace from tip.
Strathmore (7-1) led 37-16 at the half, but with
Funk on the bench in the third, Strathcona made
their push and took advantage in the paint, trim-
ming the lead down to 13 at times.
They were up to the challenge and we thought
it was going to be an easy game. We got up and
then took our foot off the gas, said Laslo.
In that third quarter when Strathcona was mak-
ing their push, senior power forward Jonathan Le
May sensed the moment and took over.
Playing the role of distributor early, Le May took
the rock three straight trips down the floor, weav-
ing his way to the rack for acrobatic layups, restor-
ing Strathmores big lead.
Hes one of those guys who tries to get his other
teammates involved and then he decided to take
over in the third when it tightened up. Hes our
go-to guy when we need some baskets, said Laslo.
Le May finished with 12 points on 5-of-7 shoot-
ing, with 11 boards and four assists.
Leading the second unit when Le May and Funk
rested was Pierston Kahnapace and Connor Mc-
Bean.
Kahnapace picked up seven steals and finished
with six points, while McBean supplied six points
and five rebounds.
Over the weekend, Strathmore finished 1-3 at a
tournament in Medicine Hat.

Senior power forward Tatum Wathens double-
double helped guide the Strathmore High School
senior girls Spartans to an 83-31 victory over the
Strathcona-Tweedsmuir Spartans Feb. 6 at the local
high school gym.
Wathen capped off the double-double in style,
slashing down the lane after receiving a bounce
pass from Allie Davidson. Carving her way to the
cup, hacked as she was going up, earning the and-
one opportunity. Nailing the free-throw, she fin-
ished with 12 points, 10 rebounds and a pair of
assists and steals.
That was a great game for her, beamed Strath-
mores assistant coach Leslie Larson. Especially be-
ing a senior in her last year, those games are a lot
of fun.
Strathmore (7-1) found their stroke again, mak-
ing good on 24-of-65 shots from inside the three-
point line. Better looks and better ball movement
appeared to be the solution, as Strathmore assisted
on 17 of 29 made baskets.
Were always looking to make the extra pass, she
said. We try telling them, that, even though you
probably have a good look at the basket, theres
usually someone out there with a better shot.
There have been games this season where the
ball hasnt been going through, despite launching
upwards of 17 shots. That wasnt the case this time,
as everyone was getting involved.
Coming off the bench, Pacey Strangling Wolf
was a beast in the paint, finishing with 14 points
on nine shots, to go with eight boards and three
blocks.
Davidson was dominant all over the floor once
again, registering 13 points, five rebounds, three
assists and three steals. Sophomore forward Syd-
ney Boyd racked up 13 points on eight shots and

Chiefs punish second place Hounds

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Wheatland Chiefs left no doubt about who
is the top dog in the South Central Alberta Hockey
League.
The local double-A midget team defeated the
second place Medicine Hat Hounds 4-2 Feb. 5 at
the Strathmore Family Centre.
The Chiefs are now 2-1 against the Hounds (20-
5-4) this season.
Michael Murphy opened the scoring for the
Hounds 2:11 after puck drop, but Zachary Suntjens
answered seven minutes later on the man advan-
tage from Lucas Muenchrath and Wacy Sandum.
Riley Romashenko supplied his 18th on the pow-
er play in the second from Chayse Hnatowich and
Scott Desserre. Again in the second, returning the
favour, Hnatowich buried his 22nd from Romash-
enko.
Up 3-2 late in the third, Robert Butterwick add-
ed the insurance marker from Muenchrath, as Ty
Tarvyd made 27 stops between the pipes.
The Chiefs (25-2-2) return to action Feb. 11
when they host the NWCAA Stamps (7-1-2) at the
Strathmore Family Centre. Puck drop is slated for
noon. Playing in the big city, the Chiefs take on the
CBHA Blackhawks (7-2-4) Feb. 12 at the Max Bell
Centre #2.
BRAVES IMPROVE WITH WIN
The Wheatland Braves cranked the Airdrie Light-
ning White 5-1 Feb. 5 at the Strathmore Family
Centre.
After a scoreless first frame, Cole Whelan found
the back of the net at the 13:50 mark in the second
from Nolan Mahussier and Cyle Clayton.
Mahussier and Nolan Bell added snipes to start
the third, before the Lightning struck in the mid-
dle of the frame. Clayton registered a power play
marker with just under eight minutes to go and
Garrin Gosling bagged the empty-netter with three
seconds on the clock, as the local double-A pee-
wee team improved to 7-17-2.
Rhett Harten didnt have to work too hard to
pick up his sixth win, only making 11 saves in the
process.
The Braves look to turn their strong play into a
winning streak when they host the Taber Golden
Suns (11-10-4) Feb. 10 (7:30 p.m.) at Hussar Arena.
Hitting the road the next day, the Braves take on
the Red Deer Parkland Transmission (15-8-3) at the
Dawe Centre.

while singles came from Zach Stangness and Mitch
Tessemaker.
Not only did Logan Grant make 23 saves in net,
he also got credited for his first goal of the season
in the second period. A delayed penalty was called
against the Warriors, so the Hounds pulled Gavin
Angstadt for the extra attacker. A pass in their own
zone went awry and into the open net. Grant was
the last Warrior to handle the puck, so he earned
the empty-net marker.
The local double-A bantam team will now (9-15-

Buffs bounce Bisons
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
After starting the season on a 19-
game unbeaten streak, the Foothills CFR
Chemicals Bisons might not be the fa-
vourites to come out of the Dodge divi-
sion.
The Calgary Buffaloes shut out the Bi-
sons 3-0 back on Dec. 11 and completed
the season sweep with 5-2 win Feb.1 at
the Cardel Rec South Arena.
Its an incredibly small sample size:
the two teams only face off against each
other twice in a six-month season, but
the Buffs have come away with a pair of
convincing wins.
I am still comfortable with where
we are, said Bisons head coach Sandy
Henry, whose team sits two points back
of the Buffs, each with four games re-
maining. I thought we carried the play
well early. We didnt finish on as many
pucks as we should have [and] played a
good pace, but we have to be better in
our dee zone and stay out of the penalty
box.
Peyton Krebs notched his 14th of the
season from Landon Melzer and Cayde
Augustine at the 7:44 mark of the first.
Fellow Okotoks native Jackson Salt tick-
led the twine for his ninth nearly two
minutes later from Cole Clayton and
Krebs.
Even with a pair of first period goals,
the Buffs led 3-2 into the break.
The Bisons (22-5-3) racked up 16 pen-
alty minutes, but only capitalized on one
out of seven opportunities, as Ben Laid-
law blocked 24 shots in the blue ice.
With the loss, the door is open, al-
beit slightly, for the Red Deer Optimist
Chiefs. In all likelihood, the Bisons
should finish with a first-round bye, in

Snagging a bye is going to come down
to the wire. The Buffs (22-3-6) sit three
points up on the Bisons with three
games remaining and will benefit from
the remaining schedule. Their three op-
ponents combine for a .447 winning
percentage. The Bisons face a slightly
tougher path, as their four opponents
winning percentage sits at .496 per cent,
while the Chiefs (16-4-10) face teams
that combined for a .472 winning per-
centage in their final three games.
We just have to get focused and un-
derstand that the last four games mean
something and we need to take care of

spots, said Henry.
