closer to receiving financial aid to offset soar-
ing water bills associated with the treatment,
owing to a colossal amount of support by the
province’s municipalities at this year’s Alberta
Urban Municipality Association (AUMA) con-
ference.
Town of Strathmore Councillor Jason Mont-
gomery delivered the resolution to a room of
over 1,000 delegates, for AUMA to urge the
province to provide means by which home he-
modialysis patients may offset added utility –
electricity and water – costs for patients who
conduct hemodialysis in their homes.
Strathmore town council vowed to address
the topic at this year’s AUMA conference in
Sept. 2017, when a motion was also passed to
implement a grant program locally to aid with
the financial burden for those patients under-
going treatment at home – at the time water
bills climbed to $700 a year.
On Sept. 28, the motion was passed with
more than 85 per cent of the vote.
“I’m hoping that it’ll relieve a bit of the bur-
den for the people that are already dealing
with medical issues and make their lives a bit
less stressful,” Montgomery said. “There was
nothing controversial about it, it was a fairly
small amount in the grand scheme of things,
money wise, and it’s designed to help people
who are in need of help. I’m not totally sur-
prised of the outcome but I’m glad and thank-
ful that everyone was thinking of the bigger
picture.”
Currently no funding is available to the 80
patients in southern Alberta – two of which
are in Strathmore and area – to recover the
extra costs. The equipment used for home he-
modialysis is provided to patients from Alber-
ta Health Services and uses water while op-
erating and treating the patients. Bob Howe,
was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease
(PKD) in 2009, and approached council in
2017 regarding his water bill that had become
a burden. He has been instrumental on mak-
ing the voices of those in need of hemodial- Snow day!!

Hemodialysis patients look to offset

Science is… a roller coaster ride
Wheatland Crossing School participated in Telus
World of Science’s Science in Motion program-
ming Sept. 19-21. Elementary children participat-
ed in classroom workshops before a full assem-
bly was held. The Grade 4 class learned about
kinetic energy and gravity through learning how
a roller coaster works, before building their own
roller coasters. Taylor Yule helped her group to
build a roller coaster with a lot of loops.

“I’ve been fighting for all of this for
a long time … you have no idea what
this means to me and my wife, because
there is a lot more to it than getting a
grant,” Howe said. “It’s the acknowl-
edgement, number one. Number two,
if that happens where the province ac-
knowledges it, which I hope they do,
it means that we’re not alone out here.
“I was a truck driver for 40 years
and I was no different than anyone
else and I took it for granted. Most of
us do, until something happens. I may
not be able to help myself in my life
but I’m sure going to be able to help
a whole lot of other people that are
coming into it. They shouldn’t have
to go through what I’ve gone through
and what other people like myself
have gone through.”
The benefits of being able to conduct
home hemodialysis include improved
patient outcome, reduction in trav-
el-related expenses, increased person-
al time and overall improved quality of
life. Yet for those on fixed incomes, the
treatment is often unaffordable, with
increased water costs able to reach
300 per cent. In turn Strathmore im-
plemented a grant to local patients,
while seeking support from AHS to
cover the costs, as the same costs are
covered for patients who receive the
treatment in hospitals.
Councillor Denise Peterson, who’s
been supportive and vocal about the
issue, was surprised at the lack of
pushback at AUMA.
“I think the message is that if you
have something that’s rational, reason-
able, cost effective and improves qual-
ity of life for your community you just
need to stay with it, until it happens,”
said Councillor Denise Peterson.
After Okotoks seconded the motion,
it was passed with more than 85 per
cent in favour on Sept. 28. Peterson
expects the issue to come before the
province over the next few months.

Family raises awareness of alopecia PG

Monday night

MIRIAM OSTERMANN had disappeared.

Times Associate Editor
Three-year-old Cadence Fleming
loves to climb, twirl her baton and belt
out an infectious laugh. Those who
know her know she’s full of life – de-
spite misconceptions by those, who at
first glance, believe the youngster is
fighting for her life.
That’s because Cadence has alope-
cia, a very rare, highly unpredictable,
non-contagious autoimmune disease
that attacked her hair follicles when
she was only one year old, leaving her
without eyebrows, eyelashes or hair on
her head. While the Langdon family has
found a lot of support with alopecia
support groups and community mem-
bers, they have had to endure people

forms. Alopecia areata (patchy) is the
most common variation and results in
patchy hair loss mainly on the scalp and
is often associated with severe stress. In
comparison, alopecia universalis is a
rare form that affects the entire scalp
and body with complete hair loss. While 403-983-2121 Serving

assuming Cadence is battling cancer.
Then, last week, Cadence’s preschool
announced a wacky hair day that left
the family emotional and disheartened
with the lack of acknowledgment and
concern for the family. While her moth-
er, Trina, made the best of the situation
by pulling out eyeliner and Halloween
make up to paint a sunflower on Ca-
dence’s head, she wants to raise more
awareness about the condition that af-
fects thousands of people in Canada.
“This day brought tremendous emo-
tion for us and we didn’t want her to be
upset about being different or feeling
left out,” Trina Fleming said. “We decid-
ed we had three options: ask the school
to cancel it, not attend classes that day
or do it the alopecia way – with cour-
age and creativity.
“I was wondering why would you
have that when you have a kid with
alopecia? I feel like they should have
said something to me. The preschool is
lovely, but I think that’s why awareness
is needed.”
Cadence was born with thick and
strong strawberry blonde hair, but
around her first birthday in September
– also known as Alopecia Month – the
parents noticed her hair thinning. By
the time they were able to see a derma-
tologist eight weeks later, all of her hair
Nov. 15, most of her hair was gone.
While Geremia’s hair started growing
back this year, she also experienced
people staring, asking her if she has
cancer, and even had a man in Calgary
question her sexual orientation because
of her short hair.
“All of a sudden you get up in the
morning and you look at yourself in the
mirror and you have no hair; let me tell
you it’s a huge shock to the system…
you don’t realize how much your hair
is a part of your identity,” Geremia said.
“Even now people ask if I have can-
cer. It’s not offensive, it’s just weird that
that’s everyone’s first thought. There’s
no research on it. They are not trying
to figure out why people are randomly
losing their hair without a reason. The
fact that I went to a doctor who special-
izes in skin and he didn’t even know if
I was going to lose all my hair or if it
was coming back is quite amazing.”
Geremia continues to worry about
losing her hair again in the future, but
has taken to working out more fre-
quently and is engaged in other stress
management practices.
According to the National Alopecia
Areata Foundation, two per cent of the
population worldwide – about 147 mil-

Library offers more adult programs in October
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Greater emphasis on building stron-
ger relationships with local organiza-
tions is giving rise to a higher volume
of adult programming at the Strath-
more Municipal Library, addressing a
void evident for years.
The library assembles a line up of
over 300 diverse programs a year. While
requests within the community and a
desire by staff to focus on more adult
programming has been at the forefront
this fall, the number of special pro-
grams geared towards adults in Octo-
ber is now surpassing those offered for
children – for the first time.
“In October we do tend to see a few
more extra programs, and we’ve been
ramping up a lot of our programs and
partnering with different organizations,
so that’s unique in itself,” said Carmen
Erison, assistant director of library ser-
vices with the Strathmore Municipal
Library.
“As the library continues to grow in
its programming we also continue to
grow in our partnerships, and because
of those partnerships we’re seeing an
increase in the programming that we’re
able to provide to the public for free.”
In total, the library will offer 82 pro-
gram sessions – regular weekly pro-
gramming as well as special programs
– for the month of September and Oc-
tober. Out of those, eight sessions are
special programs aimed at adults while
only three special programs are offered
for children, irrespective of the regular
library programming.
This month, the library is offering
three community education sessions:
Physical Literacy & Health, which oc-
curred on Oct. 3; Keeping Kids Safe;
and, A Focus on Speech and Language.
The sessions are presented by the Com-
munity Education Service of the Child
and Adolescent, Mental Health and
Psychiatry Program of Alberta Health
Services and will be presented via vid-
eoconference. The programs offer com-
munity members information on rais-
ing physically literate children, how to
spot the signs of child abuse and how
to respond, and learning about speech
and language difficulties and the im-
pact on children and the youth.
The library is also welcoming cem-
etery sleuth Jennifer Young who will
be discussing the CanadaGenWeb Cem-
etery Project, which currently offers
a free and searchable listing of over
18,000 known Canadian cemeteries.
Halfway through the month, the insti-
tution is also hosting My Money Coach

In keeping with patron requests for
more author visits, the library is also
hosting a multi-author event. Five au-
thors of the Canadian Historical Brides
Series will be reading from their novels,
followed by a book signing.
Towards the end of the month, Intro-
duction to Reiki offers the community
a chance to learn about Reiki, how it
works and its benefits.
Staff is also bringing back the Hal-
loween costume exchange for its fifth
year, available to all ages, from children
to adults.
Most of the special programs are the
products of an increased number of
partnerships with the Strathmore Mu-
nicipal Library. Regarding local orga-
nizations, Erison estimated anywhere
from 10 to 15 partnerships are cur-
rently being strengthened while staff is
actively searching to build more. Those
partnerships include the Marigold Li-
brary System, Parent Link Centre, Hope
Bridges Society, the Wheatland Society
of Arts, the Happy Gang, the Town of

As the library is working on building
their momentum to continue offering
more adult programs, Erison has seen
other adult programs and initiatives
being introduced in the community by
other organizations and businesses.
“I think it’s getting there. It was
pretty quiet when I first got here and
I’m seeing now, not just with ourselves
but other community organizations, I’m
seeing there is more of a focus on more
events for adults,” Erison said.

Capsule Comments
Many people practice the “quit the booze for a
month” program. If you are one of them, don’t
wait till January, do it now. You will notice an
improvement in your sleep quality and wake up
more refreshed. Other benefits include weight-
loss and also you will give your liver a rest. A
month off can also give you a chance to reassess
your relationship with alcohol and perhaps make a
decision to drink less in the future.
Here are some facts about alcohol: It’s effect on
the brain starts within 5 minutes of swallowing.
It takes about one hour for the body to clear one
standard drink.
This varies depending on your body mass,
composition, genetic makeup and your level of
alcohol tolerance. But one hour is a good average.
One standard drink is defined as 12 oz of
regular beer, 5 oz of wine or 1.5 oz of distilled
spirits. Women are generally more vulnerable to
the effects of alcohol so it’s recommended that
women consume no more than 10 drinks per week
and no more than two drinks per day. Men’s limits
are no more than 15 drinks per week and no more
than three drinks in one day.
By the way, if you have had more drinks than
you should, eating food will slow absorption of
the alcohol but won’t help your liver to break
down the alcohol any faster. Coffee, cold showers,
vomiting or exercise won’t help either. The best
advice is keeping alcohol consumption to a
minimum. Best? Total abstinence.

So far, she has a juvenile reading section, a sec-

animals, classics and non-fiction, among others.
Her “check-out” system is also primitive – using a

borrow on the honour system in hopes they return

One of the largest challenges Ellis has is procur-

she is looking to expand and one that she is grow-
ing an appreciation for.
In her course outline, she now requires students
to read core texts, Grade 12 students to read a play
as per the provincial outline, and for all classes
to read three books of their choosing, one which
must be non-fiction – something that differs from
past years teaching when classes read novels cho-
sen for them. Ellis has worked many activities into
her classes that require students to handle the
books along with reading them – such as creating
poems using the titles on the spines of books and
by building in everyday independent quiet reading.
Although this is only the second year of the proj-
ect, Ellis has noticed an increase in interest for
reading among her students. She said some stu-
dents she taught last year are stopping by her class-
room to check out books to read – something she
describes as very rewarding. She speculates there
will always be some hard-core readers as well as
students who are reluctant to read and who prove
to be the greatest challenge.
“That’s where the greatest satisfaction comes – if
you can match a kid to a book, that might be the
book that changes (their) view about reading,” said
Ellis, whose goal is to get every student reading.
Currently Ellis is fronting most of the project
with help from community groups such as the lo-
cal Lions and Lionettes groups who helped get the
project off the ground. Along with funding grants
from them, she bought one bookcase and many
books on her own, and she is constantly scouring
second-hand shops looking for deals and hidden
gems. The school has also been supportive and
she was able to work with the school’s woodshop
teacher to turn some old cupboards into bookcases
for her classroom.
Ellis is continually looking for other ventures to
help support and grow her project. She hopes to
keep purchasing and receiving donations of rel-
evant and exciting books to keep her students’ at-
tention and interest in reading.
“To have a really functional classroom library
you’ve got to have optimally 1,000 to 1,500 books.
I’m not sure I’m even close to that. I really, really
believe that we have to keep things interesting and
fresh and current and alive, so that does require
funding,” said Ellis, who will also be starting a
book club for interested students this year.
Ellis said although in general people are reading,
younger generations aren’t reading as much. As a
teacher, as a school and as a community, she hopes
to encourage adolescent literacy and to encourage
reading because it’s fun, there is a lot that can be
learned, that books must be valued, and they must
be present and easily accessible for youth.
Ellis is happy to accept any book donations from
people looking to clean out their book shelves, as
well as funding so she may purchase books on her
wish list.
“Funding of course is always welcome and I can
honestly say I’m good at what I do and I’m pas-
sionate about it and I want to serve our students,”
said Ellis. “They live in our communities and so
maybe they will teach their kids in the future.”
Those with questions about the project or who
are looking to donate can email her at amanda.el-
lis@ghsd75.ca.
“The more students who read these books the
more they’re going to talk to others about them,”
said Ellis. “I think it’s been very successful if I can
measure it by a student’s enthusiasm.”

Conservatives get back to work
MARTIN SHIELDS
Member of Parliament Bow River Riding
The fall sitting of the House of Commons is un-
derway, and we have been debating some very
serious matters on Parliament Hill.
One that you have likely been hearing about is
the transfer of Tori Stafford’s killer to a healing
lodge. I believe that her murderer belongs behind
bars in a secure facility – period. I think this is a
straightforward issue, and the Liberals’ response
has been very disappointing. She should stay be-
hind bars, not in a more comfortable facility with
no bars or fences.
The Liberals also recently defeated our opposi-
tion day motion calling on the Minister of Veter-
ans Affairs to revoke the benefits that have been
extended to Chris Garnier. We learned that Gar-
nier, a convicted murderer who is not a veteran,
has been receiving benefits from Veterans Canada
to pay for his PTSD – the PTSD he got from his
murder of Truro police officer Catherine Camp-
bell. The Liberals have been defending his right
to receive these benefits. We believe that veterans
should not be fighting for years to receive their
benefits while a convicted murderer is using them
freely.
Minister O’Regan announced that Veterans Af-
fairs will no longer provide benefits to family
members of veterans who are in federal or pro-
vincial prisons. However, he refused to make this
measure retroactive, allowing Chris Garnier to
keep his benefits.
This is another simple, straightforward issue,
and I do not understand why the government will
not act to address it. A convicted murderer who
has never served his country should not be get-
ting Veterans Canada benefits. The correctional
system already provides prisoners with the bene-
fits they might require. It simply should not come
from veterans.
Finally, our last vote on C-71 was held in the
House of Commons. I voted against this deeply
flawed legislation. It does nothing but target law
abiding firearms owners, and it should not be
made law. It is now up to the Senate to stop this
legislation. I hope that they will recognize that
places unfair burdens on those who acquire their
firearms legally and obey the law, but does noth-
ing to address gang violence, rural crime, or il-
legal handguns.
Strathmore RCMP recover stolen vehicles
CST. DENZIL MOREY
Media Resource Officer Strathmore RCMP
Strathmore RCMP have charged three men with
multiple property-related offences after an inci-
dent that involved stolen property, and the watch-
ful eye of social media-informed citizens.
Strathmore RCMP responded to a break and en-
ter to a storage yard where a Haulmark Trailer had
been stolen a short time after 3 p.m. on Sept. 19.
An antique car was one of the items stored inside
that trailer. The owner of the trailer circulated im-
ages of his trailer and antique car on social media
in attempts to spread awareness and have more
eyes in the area looking for his stolen property.
On Sept. 20, after seeing a post circulated on
social media, a resident of Wheatland County
spotted a truck pulling the trailer and placed a
call to police. When Strathmore RCMP arrived on
scene, the suspects attempted to evade police.
RCMP were able to safely and effectively disable
the vehicle causing it to veer of the road, and the
suspects were placed under arrest and taken into
custody. The truck they were driving also turned

TRANS MOUNTAIN PIPELINE EXPANSION A
CONCERN Unit D,
After a great summer in our riding, I returned to 202 Canal Court,
Ottawa last week for the fall sitting of parliament.
Strathmore, AB
I heard from thousands of you over the course of
the summer – I greatly appreciated you all taking
the time to share your concerns. One issue that 403.934.6044
came up constantly was the Trans Mountain Pipe- prowatersystems
line Expansion.
@gmail.com
I completely agree with your concerns: the
pipeline needs to be built.
The Liberal government has mismanaged this
project for two years. Thousands of Canadians Water Softeners, Iron Filters
have now lost their jobs, and taxpayers are now & Drinking Water Systems
on the hook for a $4.5 billion pipeline that may
never be built.
The private sector was willing to start construc-
tion – all they needed was certainty from the fed-
eral government. Unfortunately, the Liberals failed
to provide investors with the assurance they need-
ed.
The Liberals have demonstrated time and time
again that they don’t care about the Canadian en-
ergy sector. In fact, the Prime Minister has stated
repeatedly that he wants to “phase out” the Cana-
dian energy sector. He told a group of Europeans
that he wishes he could do it “tomorrow.”
I can only assume the Prime Minister is embar-
rassed of Canada’s energy resources. How can
someone champion our oil and gas industry when
they don’t really believe in it themselves? We need
more than half-hearted support for our vital en-
ergy sector.
I strongly believe the Prime Minister needs to
immediately outline a concrete plan to ensure that
the Trans Mountain Expansion is actually built.
Workers deserve to know when construction will
start and when the project will be completed. Our
Canadian energy workers and their families have
had more than enough of this government’s inac-
tion.
This issue will continue to be at the top of our
Conservative agenda this fall. We are making ev-
ery effort to get the government to commit to firm,
concrete action that will get the project started.
I can be reached in Ottawa at martin.shields@
parl.gc.ca. My Brooks office can be reached at
403-793-6775 or martin.shields.c1@parl.gc.ca, and
my Strathmore office at 403-361-2980 or martin.

Thirty-five-year-old Jason Little, 25-year-old
Kelly Dwyer and 58-year-old Ralph Huizinga are
facing a combined total of 28 charges, including
possession of property obtained by crime over
$5,000, flight from peace officer, dangerous op-
eration of a motor vehicle and failing to comply
with a recognizance.
“Local residents were instrumental in helping us
make these arrests,” said Cst. Denzil Morey, Strath-
more RCMP media relations officer. “By using so-
cial media to raise awareness, they positioned
themselves so they could report the sighting right
away, and RCMP could move in and apprehend
the suspects. This is a great example of the com-
munity working with the police to fight crime.”

“Concerns with strychnine stem pri-
marily from the poisoning of non-tar-
get species, but we feel this concern
is dealt with effectively in the product
label requirements, which mitigate the
risk through directions for use, moni-
toring, environmental precautions and
disposal. To help ensure producers are
appropriately trained in the use and
handling of the product, consideration
could also be given to requiring a farm-
er pesticide certificate with an endorse-
ment for exterior rodent control before
purchasing of the product is allowed,”
stated Wheatland County Councillor
and Agricultural Service Board Chair-
man Jason Wilson in the letter to the
PMRA.
“While the re-evaluation focuses on
the health and environmental safety
standards for this product, it unfortu-
nately ignores the economic impact
that Richardson’s ground squirrel dam-
age has on producers, including direct
crop loss through consumption, and re-
duced production due to plant injury
and trampling. In addition, there are
downtime and repair costs for equip-

stock due to ground squirrel burrows and those of badgers
who follow ground squirrel populations,” the letter contin-
ued. “Producers in our municipality and others are simply
trying to manage a very serious crop pest issue, with the
help of one of the most effective means of control currently
available. Producers do employ a number of other control
methods in their management systems, but time and time
again attest to the effectiveness of strychnine to manage
Richardson’s ground squirrel.
“We feel it’s important to listen to the people living on the
landscape dealing with this pest problem on a daily basis. If
there was another product as effective as strychnine, produc-
ers would certainly use it, but until such time as an effective
replacement is available we strongly encourage Health Can-
ada to maintain the registration of strychnine for the control
of Richardson’s ground squirrel.”

above and beyond the call of duty to
ensure the ongoing practice of gym-
nastics in Strathmore.
In order to continue the gymnastics
programs – which are currently stalled
– the organization is seeking funds
through grants, fundraising efforts and
financial support from the Town of
Strathmore in the amount of $33,500 –
money, if received, that will be allocat-
ed to a spring-loaded floor, preschool-
specific gross motor equipment and a
large industrial-sized bouncy house.
Members of the Strathmore Gym-
nastics Centre attended the Sept. 19
regular town council meeting with a
Gymnastics facility. When Jumphouse
made the announcement of a new
building for their cheerleading pro-
gram in the spring, Strathmore gym-
nasts were left without a space to prac-
tice their sport. Strathmore Gymnastics
Centre is hoping to secure $130,000
for renovation and equipment to meet
its plans of signing a lease to the old
Jumphouse facility, which is closing its
doors on Dec. 1.
So far, 40 per cent of the necessary
equipment needs have been acquired.
However, the flooring and most of the
equipment is moving with Jumphouse
to its new facility, so Strathmore Gym-
nastics Centre is asking the Town of
Strathmore to fund three pieces of
equipment deemed most versatile to
create a community-use space. The
items include a $25,000 spring-loaded
floor, a $3,500 bouncy house to be
used for private functions and com-
munity events and a $5,000 preschool-
specific gross motor development
piece of equipment.

Siksika filmmaker shares Indigenous stories and music
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Municipal
Library showcased Siksika
filmmaker Trevor Solway’s
documentary, Intertribal Se-
ries, on Sept. 28. The docu-
mentary focuses on mu-
sicians from the Treaty 7
region.
The production touched
on themes of community
and preservation of Indig-
enous culture. Following the
presentation, those in atten-
dance were given a chance to
ask questions of Solway and
one of the four musicians
featured in the documentary,
Darcy Turning Robe.
“Growing up, I knew all
these amazing guitar players,
singers and drummers, and
they would have amazing
talent. But when I turned on
MuchMusic or MTV or listened
to the radio, you didn’t hear
them on mainstream media out-
lets,” said Solway. “When I start-
ed making film, it was a priority
for me to always tell our stories
and share our talent and do it
the right way.”
The Intertribal Series was
shot in October 2017; it is bro-
ken into four episodes that each
run about eight minutes long
and show musicians interview-
ing musicians from the Treaty 7
tribes that includes Siksika.
There were four artists fea-
tured with their own episode,
but each artist was interviewed
by another. Each episode high-
lighted aspects of an individual’s
life and some of the challenges
they faced as an Indigenous mu-
sician. It also showcased their
craft singing or playing in-studio
and in places that were impor-
tant to them specifically.
Solway explained that Indig-
enous culture was passed down
through oral tradition, which
was easier to remember if it had
a musical or rhythmic nature to
it. This helped to grow a feeling
of community or to teach mor-
als. In the modern world, Sol-
way said he feels it can be used
to preserve Indigenous culture
going forward.
“There’s always an imbedded
lesson or meaning with a song,”
said Solway. “Today we have a
lot of different ways of sharing
stories or songs.”
Turning Robe is a powwow
singer who has been singing

consistently since he was eight.
When Solway approached him,
he told Turning Robe he wanted
him to share his powwow-style
music on film. The singer was
more than willing to do that,
but as filming progressed, Turn-
ing Robe discovered he wanted
much more out of the project.
He wanted his people’s mu-
sic and culture documented so
other generations could see it
and also to bring together Indig-
enous communities with other
Canadians.
“This needs to be told, you
need to document it, you need
to keep saying your story, you
need to keep reading books
about us because that’s only
going to bridge the gap. That’s
what I wanted to see out of this,”
said Turning Robe. “We’re not
different. We just sing and pray
different, that’s about it. We’re
all the same.”
Turning Robe has already
found some success outside of
this film series. His music will be
in the upcoming Red Dead Re-
demption 2 video game which is
being released on Oct. 26.
“You don’t even know where
you’re going to go with your
music,” said Turning Robe.
“When I’m singing, I’m singing
right from here (heart).”
This was only the second
showing of the Solway’s Inter-
tribal Series. The other show-
ing occurred in July 2018 at the
Globe Cinema in Calgary.
Rachel Dick-Hughes, director
of library services with Strath-
more library, was pleased with
the turnout and a chance to
showcase Indigenous culture.
The library has done some In-
digenous programming with
Mother Goose in the Park, but
according to Dick-Hughes, a
couple of barriers they’re facing
are a lack of expertise with staff,
and money.
“We wanted to delve into In-
digenous programming and we
really haven’t to any significant
extent,” said Dick-Hughes. “We
definitely have a ways to go into
making sure our programming
is culturally inclusive and rel-
evant to where we are.”
There currently isn’t a way for
people to access the film series,
but Solway plans on making it
available in the future.

Winning
weekend
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
After an opening Heritage Junior
Hockey League (HJHL) weekend
that left something to be desired, the
Strathmore Wheatland Kings bounced
back in a big way.
The Stettler Lightning (1-2-0) haven’t
been world beaters in the north divi-
sion by any measure, but the Kings
didn’t take anything for granted and
earned the 6-3 decision Sept. 28 at the
Strathmore Family Centre.
Newly named alternate captain and
local product Isaac Benoit produced
his first of what could be many hat
tricks this season.
Benoit got things going in the first
period when Garret Vander Ploeg
spotted him 2:54 into the opening
frame.
That line got it going seven minutes
later when former Wheatland Athletic
Association teammate Lucas Muench-
rath popped in his first of the season
from Vander Ploeg and Benoit.
Staying hot on the power play mid-
way through the first, Vander Ploeg
picked up his third point of the period
from Brenden Moore and Muenchrath.
A scoreless second period led to a
back-and-forth third kick-started by
Kyle Bracko at 2:28.
Benoit completed his hat trick with
a pair of goals wrapped around two
snipes by the Lightning.
Riley Stovka yielded three goals in
the third but stopped 28 pucks in total
to record his first HJHL win.
The Kings (2-1-1) didn’t let off the
gas pedal the following night at the
Servus Arena in Red Deer when they
took on the Vipers (1-2-0).
The scoring was more spread out, as
the Kings recorded the 6-4 decision.
After leading the defensive core in
scoring last year, Hayden Vander Ploeg
pumped in his first of the season from
local products Kody Hammond and
Bailey Filkohazy 34 seconds into the
opening frame.
Hammond was just getting going, as
he tapped in his first of the year from
captain Cole Busslinger and Eric San-
dum.
The Vipers answered with a pair of
goals before Hammond reaped the
rewards once again from linemates
Busslinger and Sandum 7:35 into the
SPORTS
The Wheatland Kings collected their first home win of the season when they defeated the Stet-
tler Lightning 6-3 on Sept. 28 at the Strathmore Family Centre. The Kings followed that game
with their first road win of the season, a 6-4 decision in Red Deer the next night.
second.
Hammond is on pace to shatter
his goal total from last year, when
he only netted four goals in 33
games after supplying 11 goals in
36 games as a rookie two years ago.
Brady Skiffington notched his
first power play marker before the
ice dried in the third and Muench-
rath netted the winner with 7:10 left
on the clock from Muenchrath and
Garret Vander Ploeg.
Rookie Thomas Gmitter scored
his first goal as a Kings player with
Doug Taylor Photos
1:50 left in regulation from Tyler
Wirth and A.J. Kusu.
Still going with a tandem between
the pipes, Brett Willan kept pace
with Stovka and earned his first win
of the season after making 19 saves.
The Kings will open up their Oc-
tober portion of their schedule on
Oct. 6 at home when they host the
Vipers in a rematch.
Playing the following night, the
Kings will take on the Blackfalds
Wranglers (0-1-1) at the Blackfalds
Arena.
Braves
continue
winning ways
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
After dropping the first game of the
regular season, the peewee AA Wheat-
land Braves have begun to pick up
steam with three straight victories after
their dismantling of the Chestermere
Lakers 12-1 at the Standard Arena on
Sept 30.
The Lakers struggled to get offense
going while getting outshot 74-12.
Braves forward Luc Trevors led the way
in scoring with four goals and seven
points while Nash Wassing and Conner
Radke collected five points each.
The Braves will look to continue their
momentum when they travel to Leth-
bridge to face the Hurricanes White on
Oct 12.
A close battle saw the bantam AA
Wheatland Warriors lose their season
opener 4-2 to a different Lethbridge
Hurricanes team in Standard on Sept 29.
It was all tied at two heading into
the last half of the third period before
the Hurricanes slipped ahead with two
quick goals in two minutes and 20 sec-
onds. Warriors forward Philip Raycroft
had two points while Trey Kam also lit
the lamp.
The Warriors will head north to face
the Olds Grizzlys on Oct 5 before re-
turning to home ice against the Okotoks
Oilers on Oct 7.
It was a busy opening weekend for
the midget AA Wheatland Chiefs who
beat the Lethbridge Hurricane Hounds
4-2 on Sept 28.
Chiefs goaltender Landon Brassard
grabbed his first win of the season
with 31 saves on 33 shots. The Wheat-
land club looked to remain perfect as
they headed into the second game at
the Standard Arena against the Airdrie
Lightning on Sept 30. Forward Steve
Wilks tallied the lone Chiefs goal in a
5-1 loss.
There won’t be much rest for the
Chiefs as it’s another packed weekend
schedule against the Northwest Calgary
Athletic Association (WCAA) Stamps on
Oct. 5 in Strathmore before the club
heads on the road to play the Olds Griz-
zlys on Oct 6.

Bad bounces sink Spartans

BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
Strathmore High School (SHS) Spar-
tans fell to a 2-2 record on the road
against the Drumheller Titans at on
Sept. 29 in a lopsided loss (38-12).
Despite this, SHS Head Coach Travis
Gorski says the score doesn’t tell the
entire story because the Spartans were
within a single touchdown of tying it
up heading into the third quarter.
“It was 12-6 (Titans leading) at the
start of the second half and we had
just completed a 50-yard pass and we
were knocking on the door to score.
We actually fumbled the snap and were
forced to punt and that’s sort of when
the momentum shifted,” said Gorski
The very next play, the Titans made
an 80-yard run which was the begin-
ning of the end for the Spartans. The
Titans would also add 14 points in the
final minutes.
“The score was definitely not indica-
tive of the game,” said Gorski.
Quarterback Noah Desjardins had
a solid game according to the coach,
throwing for about 250 yards and scor-
ing two rushing touchdowns. Grade 10
wide receiver and outside linebacker
Cooper Nelson was also singled out for
catching a 50-yard bomb in the third
quarter after making a big tackle right
before.
“We had a lot of young kids step up

The Spartans have a balanced num-
ber of Grade 10, 11 and 12 students on

games of the year.
They are searching for security and
home field advantage in the playoff
race, in which they are currently tied
for second.
The Spartans will play their final
road game of the season against Pinch-
er Creek on Oct. 5 which Gorski said
will be a good chance for his team to
respond to the previous loss.
“We are hoping to get back into the
win column before our last regular sea-

said Gorski. “The thing is, we aren’t the

Cougars senior girls look to build
on home tournament
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
Crowther Memorial Junior High
School (CMJHS) hosted a senior girls
volleyball tournament on Sept. 29, and
although the local team was beaten
in the first round of playoffs in two
straight matches again Brooks, head
coach Lindsay Walker was happy with
the team’s effort.
“The experience is something the
team can build on going into the rest
of the season,” she said. “We have al-
ready seen tremendous growth in
skill, communication and positioning
so that was really good.”
The format of the tournament works
like a marathon because every game is
played in one day, creating a great deal
of demand on a player’s stamina.
The Cougars played two sets each
against the other three teams in their
pool. The girls did this all between 9
a.m. and 2 p.m. before playing in the
playoffs two hours later. The Cougars
went 2-4 in the round robin.
The rapid succession of matches in
a tournament can wear players down
quickly, but according to Walker, they
are trying to battle through the endur-
ance challenge.
“We preach the motto ‘practice like
you want to play,’ so really setting that
mentality that we will practice great
things we will do in the tournament,”
said Walker. “We do conditioning drills
in practice to try and get them to go
hard all day.”
According to Walker, the team plans
on working on its serving and consis-
