On Feb. 13, Wheatland Inn Manager Paul Gill

quickly stepped out of his office to run a few er-rands; all the time it took for three disguised in-dividuals to pull off their heist by entering Brand-ers Lounge, producing a weapon, and walkingaway with a couple thousand dollars.

Security camera footage showed the culpritsentering the Wheatland Inn establishment around6 p.m. with their faces covered by masks. Theindividuals continued to approach the Legendsrestaurant but turned around when noticing thelarge number of people and families, Gill sus-pects. Upon changing their direction, the threenoticed the Branders Lounge, where they pro-ceeded to present what appeared to be gun, de-mand the staff to provide access to the backroom,and request the safe to be opened. With roughly15 staff members working that night, Gill is con-

cerned about the safety of his employees.“She said she doesn’t have the key, but theykept saying open the safe, and she said she can’t,”Gill said. “I feel horrible for our staff, and I worryabout them, so I want them to be as safe as pos-sible. I’m just glad there was no one hurt.” The establishment had faced similar accounts

in the past, and with VLT machines on site, havesafety policies and procedures in place. Nonethe-less, Gill estimated the suspects managed to takeoff with a couple thousand dollars. While held atgunpoint, the Saturday night incident was surrealfor bartender Cheryl Graig, who’s worked at thelounge for 12 years.

“They came in and they had the masks on, andall I was thinking was ‘is this Halloween?’” Craigsaid. “I thought someday this is going to happento me because I’ve been here too long and times

are desperate now. You don’t know why this hap-pens. I hope they get caught that’s all I want, be-cause I don’t want anyone else to go through it.”

Craig was demanded to open the backroomdoor where the culprits started grabbing moneystuffed in glasses, causing some to fall and shat-ter. After they were unable to get access to thesafe, they left the premises. According to RCMP, the culprits fled the scene

in a blue SUV.One of the suspects is described as having a

slim build, approximately 5’8” tall, with a greyhooded sweater and a distinctive brimmed darkhat. His accomplice had a smaller build, sameheight, possibly a female and wearing a dark bluezip-up hooded sweater and black hat.

This is the 119th anniversary of the discoveryof Aspirin® (ASA). The original source of thedrug, salicylic acid, was the bark of the willowtree, known and used by the Sumerians about5000 years ago. Salicylic acid was isolated fromthis bark in 1763 but it was too irritating to thestomach. Finally, in 1897, the Bayer company inGermany patented acetylsalicylic acid and the restis history.

JUSTIN SEWARD

Times Reporter

The Cheadle Lions Club along with the Wheat-land and Area Hospice Society saw a need lastspring to build a hospice to meet the demand ofthe growing seniors population and the limitedcare in the county and area. The society wants to launch an awareness cam-

paign and work with the provincial governmentand Alberta Health Services to increase the avail-ability of hospice and palliative care in the com-munities.

“It initially started with Sonny (Warrack) andhis mother-in-law,” said Judy McLean, societymember.

“All of us have had people die in Strathmorein either palliative or in home and have seenthe benefit of hospice. Strathmore only has onepalliative care bed, so if there is more than oneperson dying, they have to go somewhere un-known.” The hope is to build a facil ity that can house

eight to 10 beds The committee visited several Calgary and

Okotoks facilities, and now know they have tospend between $1 and 2 million to build a hos-pice centre. So far $100, 000 have been accumu-lated.

“It’s received very good support so far from alot of people,” said Keith Clayton, Wheatland and Area Hospice Society president.

“It’s going to take a lot of volunteers that carrya fair amount of knowledge. We’ll take volunteersthat don’t have the knowledge for various things but we’re going to need people with building ex-perience, government, communication and archi-tects.” The next step will be to continue fundraising

through private donations, community fundrais-ing, grants and Alberta Health Services. Additionally a needs assessment needs to be

done which in turn will determine what fundsand policies will be needed. The hospice facility is expected to be built

within the next five years.

The Strathmore Theatre Players will be recreating Rob Uribanti’s Death byDesign- A Comedy with Murder later

this month. The play is set in a 1932English countryside manor where play

writer Edward Bennett and actress wifeSorel flee from London after a terribleopening night.

However, random guests startedshowing up including a politician, afiery socialist, a near-sighted ingénueand a zany modern dancer, and allhave a long-term secret.

One of them gets mysteriously mur-dered and now it’s left up to Bridgit,the feisty Irish maid with a keen inter-est in homicides, to solve the mystery.

“The challenge is often finding some-thing that’s inspiring to both our direc-tor and our audience,” said TashinaMackenzie, stage director.

“We know our community loves tolaugh. We love to have a lot of fun

when they come out and spend time with us. We were definitely looking forsomething that would hit both of thosespots. We read it out loud and we alllaughed as we were reading even with-out the acting.” The audience will notice a lot of

slapstick, witty repartee between char-acters, innuendo and sarcasm.

Graydon Pease, who is in his eighthshow with the Strathmore Theatre

Players, plays the head character Wal-ter Pearce, who is a newly electedconservative parliamentarian, and isdetermined to exhume the glory ofthe English economy from its languish-ment.

However, upon arrival at the manor,Pearce suddenly becomes an importantpart of mystery. Additionally, he has a love interest

and has no idea how to be a romanticguy and gets caught up in a challeng-ing situation.

“So to try and marry the two thingstogether in terms of the stiff personal-ity as well as trying to win the love ofa woman is extremely challenging for

Walter,” said Pease.“There’s a lot of comedy to come

from those challenges in itself. Thingslike coming up with something roman-tic to whisper in her ear and he has noclue in how to even to that.”

Pease said it’s been a challengingrole for him because he has a big per-sonality and he has had to play a char-acter that has no personality. The show will run from Feb. 25-27 at

7:30 p.m and on the 28th at 2 p.m. andagain from March 3- 5 at 7:30 p.m. withthe matinee going on fifth at 2 p.m. All shows will be at the Hope Cov-

enant Church. Tickets are $16 for seniors and stu-

dents, $21 for adults, and can be pur-chased through their Facebook page or

by cash at the door.

Addressing a long-standing and prev-alent issue about the lack of transpor-tation, town administration tested the

waters to generate interest among localpoliticians for a chance to grab a pieceof a multi-million dollar pie to securecapital funds for the purchase of transit

vehicles and technologies. The Alberta government introduced a

$2 billion program in 2010, with a fo-cus on sustainable pubic alternativesknown as the Green Transit IncentivesProgram (GreenTRIP). With $160 mil-lion still available to municipalities ac-

companied by a fast-approaching dead-line, council was asked for their inputand interest before investing more timeand resources to move further along inthe process. While no project was proposed in de-

tail, council was introduced to the pos-sibility of a project submission to ac-quire a wheelchair-accessible van.

“I’m aware that we are putting thehorse before the cart here, and this isnot how we normally do things, [but]the problem we have is that we’re un-der a time issue here, and this is a fairamount of work that’s going to be in-

volved in this,” said Councillor Bob So- bol, who attended a joined Calgary Re-gional Partnership transportation and

capital regional transportation boardmeeting in December.

“There’s been a lot of discussions andsuggestions as to how we could usethis unit, but certainly at the end of theday, no matter how it’s incorporated, it

would be primarily used for transporta-tion of handicapped persons our com-munity. I know for a fact that a vehiclelike this could be well served and wellused in our community. I want to makesure council is aware of why and whatthe work and potential is before we car-

ry on any further.” The GreenTRIP distributions supply

66 per cent of the eligible project’s capi-tal funds, with the remainder paid bythe municipalities coming from othersources including grants and propertytaxes.

Such projects include Light Rail Tran-sit systems (LRT), bus terminals, andtransit vehicles. As all purchases must

be accessible to transit users with spe-cial needs and meet Alberta Transporta-tion regulations, a wheelchair-accessi-

ble van, which can cost up to $80,000,not only piqued council’s interest but

would address a swelling communityneed.

“This is such a timely issue and in myreport from the Wheatland Lodge, aftertheir last meeting, they indicated thehuge issues that they’re having relevantto the cuts to the Handibus hours andthe deficit in terms of capacity for trans-portation for seniors in the community,”said Councillor Denise Peterson.

“In my Seniors Advisory Committeemeeting report this month, you’ll seethe same thing, that it is an enormousissue. Certainly TSI has reported that itis the number one issue, so it’s reallytimely.” A GreenTRIP application requires a

detailed project application and a busi-ness case. While questions were raisedregarding the vehicle’s operation, hours,

and interference with the Handibus,planner for the town of Strathmore,Chuck Procter, noted that the additionof the unit is expected to complimentthe society’s service. However, council

was reminded that currently the van is just an idea with wrinkles to be ironedout in the business case.

Council passed a motion to direct ad-ministration to continue to work on thegrant application for GreenTRIP and

bring the document back to council forapproval.

Alberta politicians - localand provincial - are kept inthe dark about the natureof a request by the ministerof infrastructure for AlbertaMLAs to compile a prioritizedlist of infrastructure projectsin record time, elected offi-cials said.

Strathmore-Brooks MLADerek Fildebrandt ap-proached politicians in hisregion with only a one-weektimeframe to complete thelist, which in Strathmore in-clude seven projects in needof upgrades totalling roughly$4 million. According to Fildebrandt

the approach proved unjustto municipalities and provid-

Province to spend billions of dollars on infrastructureed little information regardingthe amount and the origins ofthe possible funds - $4.4 billionthat Minister of InfrastructureBrian Mason’s spokesperson saidis allocated for new projects andprograms through the provincialcapital plan.

“I think the idea behind thisletter was for them to just iden-tify priorities and the letter wasclear that the MLAs would not

be required to provide detailedinformation on how projects metthe criteria, but it was more togauge where the need was,” said

Aileen Machell, press-secretaryfor Minister of Infrastructure and

Transportation Brian Mason.“These priorities that Minister

Mason is hoping MLAs come forward with, they’re all for the up-coming capital plan. It’s not nec-essarily for problems, but wheregood investments can be made.I think that our government has

been clear that this is the time toinvest in infrastructure.”Regardless of available capital

plan money, Machell said deci-sions will be made by the min-ister and provincial governmentin October when the budget isexpected to be released. Fildeb-randt was one of 86 MLA’s whoreceived the letter that was sentout on Jan. 22. Although he received a list

from the Town of Strathmore with projects deemed a prior-ity over the next couple years,he felt it was an inappropriate

tactic to deal with infrastructurespending.

“We’re talking about spend-ing hundreds of millions, poten-tially billions of dollars, and weshouldn’t be rushing things in a

week, as this kind of infrastruc-ture spending needs to be wellthought out and prioritized andnot rushed for political reasons,”Fildebrandt said.

“We’ve had no indication what-soever from the province if thatmoney is connected to anything,

This could be going to a generalpot or to a dedicated fund. TheStrathmore council is not theonly confused municipality. Thelist we’ve been asked to compile

was haphazard and rushed and we did our best to get word outto municipalities to collect theinformation but it was not fair toour reeves, mayors, and council-lors.”

Fildebrandt said the govern-

ment should’ve met with mu-nicipalities, discussed top priori-ties, and provided enough timeto consult and meet instead ofsending out an E-mail to MLAsasking for a list in a week. While Strathmore council-

lors showed excitement aboutthe possibility of funds tricklingdown into Strathmore, some rep-resentatives showed concern re-garding the lack of details madeavailable in the information pro-

vided to the government. The listincluded predominant projectsof 2nd St. reconstruction, Wad-

dy Lane, and the road replace-ment of Bayview Rd. with a costof $2.3 million. Other items onthe list included Brent Blvd. andCentennial Drive at $350,000,Brentwood Reservoir with a re-maining cost of nearly $600,000,and the George Freeman Trail

WID bridge scheduled for 2017and possibly resulting in a totalof $1 million.

Director of Corporate Servicesfor the Town of Strathmore, Mel

Tiede, said he hopes the govern-ment understands the econom-ic need and invest additionalfunds. Much like Fildebrandt, he

was unaware of the details sur-rounding the funds. The Townof Strathmore is also a recipientof nearly $3 million through theannual Municipal SustainabilityInitiative (MSI) funding.

“Our government is committedto taking advantage of the op-portunity to build schools, hos-

pitals, roads, bridges and floodprotection needed to address Alberta’s infrastructure deficit,”said Minister Mason.

“Investment in major infra-structure projects will help cre-ate good paying jobs and stimu-late economic growth, and builda strong economic foundationfor our children and grandchil-dren.”

Even though no date has beenproposed, government officialssaid more information will bereleased when the budget andcapital plan will be unveiled.

The Wheatland Regional Corporation (WRC) isinching closer to a centralized water treatmentsystem through the avowed multi-million-dollar fi-nancial injection from the provincial governmentto launch the first phase in supplying Gleichenand Rosebud with water system upgrades. The first phase of the $51 million potable region-

al water supply line project, which aims to provideStandard, Rockyford, Hussar, Gleichen and Rose-

bud with a cost-effective and reliable solution totheir deteriorating infrastructure problems, is esti-mated at $22 million.

With the Alberta government’s approval of theproject in its entirety, $20 million, or roughly 90per cent, of the first phase will be dispersed overfive years as part of the Water for Life program. The funds will include the construction of an

advanced water reservoir, pipeline from the reservoir to the treatment plant, and pipeline from thetreatment plant at the village of Standard to thehamlet of Gleichen.

“We’ve been at this for years … and the provincecame back to us and asked us to prioritize theproject and so we knew that we needed new raw

water reservoirs south of Standard and we knewthe people in Gleichen have needed a differentsource of water for a very long time,” said DarcyBurke, Chairman of the WRC and mayor or Rocky-ford.

“Our plant does not currently meet the Alberta

Environment guidelines for water treatment plants.So when we had the discussions with WheatlandCounty and their partners at the table, Rockyfordhad to make the decision. To be a part of this proj-ect we had to recognize the significance of ourpartners. At that point in time, we recognized thatthe people in Gleichen, their water is at a point

where they can’t drink it.” Wheatland County and the villages of Rockyford,

Standard, and Hussar originally established the Wheatland Regional Water Partnership (WRWP) toexplore possible solutions to the regional waterissues. Consequently, the partnership created the

Wheatland Regional Corporation, made up of fourmembers, that is currently under review by AlbertaMunicipal Affairs. The Wheatland Regional Corporation feels that

the regional water supply line project will be moreeconomical for ratepayers, by providing water tothe east Wheatland area through a single watersource delivered by the Western Irrigation District,instead of multiple plants.

“Sharing the cost of the treatment is basicallygoing to bring the advantage of less cost to treatthe water and more secure water to these commu-nities, because it’s coming from one single sourceand the quality and quantity of the water will becontrolled,” said Baha Hasasneh, general managerof WRC.

“The plants in these communities are a bit old sothey need to be upgraded to the latest technologyand to have a more reliable treatment. That’s why Ithink Alberta Environment and the government ingeneral, were pushing for a more centralized treat-ment system. The government was pushing for acentral location so at least it’s better controlled andless cost for everyone.” Alberta Transportation and the Wheatland Re-

gional Corporation signed an agreement in Decem- ber 2015, and the government already allocated$450,000 as part of the first phase cash injection. Wheatland County Reeve Glenn Koester and

Wheatland County Councillor Rex Harwood, whoare both members of the corporation, also ex-pressed their approval for the project and its sig-nificance in the area, in a recent statement.

The new regional facility and potable water sup-ply line to Gleichen includes a new raw water in-take and two raw water reservoirs, a raw waterpump station, a raw water pipeline, a water treat-ment plant and potable water pump station, andpotable water supply pipelines. The constructionis expected to commence in 2016.

“This is a huge project,” said Burke. “It’s not veryoften we see a $50 million project in WheatlandCounty. We’re very happy to be a part of that proj-ect and we know that we’re going to be providinga basic necessity of life to the ratepayers of thesemunicipalities for a long time.”

DEREK FILDEBRANDT

MLA Strathmore-Brooks

February opened with a list of academics andformer politicians calling for a provincial salestax (PST) in Alberta. In an editorial, they declaredthat with significant royalty hikes off the tablethat the only option left is another round of mas-

sive tax hike on Albertans. At no point in their proposal did they propose

addressing Alberta’s chronic spending problem –a significant lapse. Advocates of the proposal also fail to recognize

the devastating impact job losses have had acrossthe province. The $3-billion carbon tax proposed by the NDP

is anticipated to cost the average household anextra $1,000 per year when fully implemented.

Many Albertans are already running thin mar-gins, worrying if they will still have a job by theend of the day or if their EI will run out by theend of the month.

Small businesses and retail groups – already hithard by a combination of low oil prices and puni-tive government policies – would feel the pinch

even tighter.It will take a greater imagination to get Alberta back on track than simply raising another raft oftaxes on Albertans already suffering.

It is true that Alberta faces massive budgetaryshortfalls. The NDP inherited a deficit of $6.1 bil-lion from the former government. Despite raising business taxes by 20 per cent and marginal per-sonal income tax rates by as much 50 per cent,not to mention a slate of other tax increases, theNDP managed to increase the deficit even furtherthrough massive spending increases. The 2016deficit is anticipated to only increase from the$9.1 billion number rolled out in the fall. These spending increases took place in an en-

vironment in which Alberta’s government wasalready spending $8 billion more per year thanBritish Columbia, which is a high-cost jurisdic-

tion. In short, Alberta’s already bloated govern-ment has become even more bloated, when wecan least afford it. There will always be more good causes to

spend public money on. There is no end to how

much money can be spent on good things, butthere is a point at which spending begins to gen-erate diminishing returns.

For example, Alberta spends more per capitathan any province in Canada on healthcare, yet by most measures our healthcare outcomes are below the national average. If money were theproblem, Alberta would have the best healthcare

in the world.Our government has been comfortable to mere-

ly throw more money at problems since the mid-2000s; but that was during a time of high oil &natural gas prices, and when Alberta had no debtand a huge rainy-day fund to fall back on. Oil andgas prices have since plummeted, we are signifi-cantly indebted once again, $16 billion in contin-gency savings is gone, yet spending has not beencorrected. When the NDP introduced a raft of new and

higher taxes in June, they also increased spend-ing by an even greater sum. When the NDP im-posed a new $3-billion carbon tax on Albertans,they committed to spending the vast majority ofit. Taxes go up, spending goes up, and the deficit

goes up. Advocates for a PST may be well intentioned,

but I am sceptical that the revenue generated byit would go to anything but yet another expan-sion of provincial government spending. Alberta does have a revenue problem: it is wast-

ing far too much of it and has proven that moreof it is never enough. Wildrose is the only party committed to a real

reduction in government expenditures with a fo-cus on front-line service delivery, to bring Albertacloser in line to the national average. Albertans need their government to take real

action to get spending under control, stimulateeconomic growth, and create jobs. Still highertaxes will not do any of these things.

Discipline, innovation and the Alberta’s entre-preneurial spirit will.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor Strathmore town council is preventing a local prop-

erty owner from taking any action on its land and buildings. In September, 2015, the local Anglican con-gregation accepted an offer to purchase its land hold-ings in downtown Strathmore.

In December, the Diocese of Calgary accepted anoffer to purchase and remove the century old church

building from the proper ty. In January, on advice ofthe Western District Historical Society, of which boththe mayor and deputy mayor are directors, Strathmoretown council stepped into those real estate transac-tions, putting a freeze on any action on the propertyfor 120 days while it considers declaring the churchand property a municipal historic resource. The historical society had previously expressed an

interest in buying the building for $1 and removingit from the church’s land. When it was unable to finda suitable location, the society expressed interest inkeeping the church where it was, but failed to submita written offer for the land. Having failed to act tosecure the property on its own, the historical societyturned to town council to do it for them. Now, thechurch and two buyers are waiting for permission toproceed with what should have been routine real es-

tate transactions. While the church is trying to be patient, it is dif-

ficult to imagine any landowner not being frustratedat local government stepping in to block a real estatetransaction. Albertans are accustomed to selling theirproperty without interference. The truth is, though,that the laws of Alberta do allow a municipality tomake a historical resource designation, so long as it is

willing to pay for the privilege. If town council passesthis bylaw, they will be required to pay compensation,likely well in excess of a half million dollars, to thechurch. That compensation will not change the own-ership of the land or building, and will not provideany benefit to the town. The town needs to be verycareful about using its power in this way, and shouldavoid rushing into historical resource designations. This is a matter that should concern everyone who

owns an older building and every tax payer in Strath-more. I encourage all residents to make their viewson this matter known to town council, and to attendthe Open House on March 1 to learn more and offertheir feedback.

Fears and uncertainty regarding funding afterlast year’s Family and Community Support Ser-

vices (FCSS) announcement of the discontinuationof external funds to existing community programsdiminished when the organization had a changeof heart and funnelled funds back into the com-

munity.Last September, the provincial government pro-

vided the FCSSs in Alberta with a healthy cash injection of an additional $10 million, totalling $86million in government funds overall. Shortly after,a letter from FCSS sent to Strathmore’s non-profitorganizations stated that funding provided previ-ously would no longer continue except in supportof new initiatives. The announcement in a falteringeconomy fuelled anger and worry among the lo-cal organizations – many fearing the possible dis-solution of their programs. Strathmore FCSS hadreceived $18,000 in additional funds and after the

budget workshop in November 2015, the organiza-tion changed their course of action and strength-ened currently existing Strathmore initiatives andprograms.

“They’re meeting needs in the community thatour community members need, it’s that cut anddry,” said Catherine Walsh, Strathmore FCSS coor-dinator.

“There’s no one else offering their services andthey depend on FCSS funding to continue thoseservices in town. We don’t want to see programsgo without funding.” The Growing Families Society, an umbrella or-

ganization consisting of the 5 for Life Coalition,Bridging the Gap, and Growing Opportunities pro-grams, was among those contemplating the sur-

vival of certain aspects of some of their programs. Although the society continues to wait on furthergrant funding, a $15,000 donation from FCSS en-sures the program will continue to operate.

“It was a relief because now we can keep thingsgoing, we can keep progressing for a little bit lon-

ger, but we’re stumbling along,” said Margo Sevcik,president of the Growing Families Society.

“$15,000 has come to Growing Families fromFCSS but we have to split it among all these otherprograms that are doing well. The government’sgetting really good bang for their dollar when theygive us funds, we just need to secure a few moregrants. The problem is going to come up againnext year, because the government grants run on

a yearly basis.” The Growing Families Society was one of a few

recipients that received funding from the Strath-more FCSS. Recently, the United Way also dividedup $56,000 among 12 organizations, which includ-ed the 5 for Life coalition, Bridging the Gap, andGrowing Opportunities. Other programs includedthe Strathmore Municipal Library, School Fuel,Roots of Empathy, and the Youth Club of Strath-more. According to Walsh, W. Brett Wilson once again

invested money into Strathmore’s non-profit or-ganizations. While the funding was welcomed,Sevcik said the recently vacated position of life-skills worker is still not posted as money for theposition is not currently available. Furthermore,one of their programs may be acquired by anotherorganization as the Growing Families Society nolonger has the administrative support to keep theprogram operational.

“It would be nice to have block-funding so we know that we’re on a three-year basis, and itdoesn’t even necessarily need to be guaranteed

but to say, ‘you guys are a good program we wantto keep you going as long as our budget stays thesame we’ll keep giving you the same amount ofmoney,’” Sevcik said. “If you think of the Bridgingthe Gap program there’s that sense of communitythat the program provides to the seniors by linkingthem so they have lunch club. It’s not just the mealthat’s feeding them, it’s the sense of communitythat’s feeding them.

FCSS is currently in the process of a needs as-sessment and depending on the results said itcould affect their spending in the future.

Bill Hamm, music director of Rose- bud Theatre and Rosebud School ofthe Arts, is a member of the Canadian

Chamber Choir, whose album SacredReflections of Canada: A CanadianMass, was nominated for a 2016 Juno Award for Classical Album. The awards will be announced in Calgary March28 to April 3. As part of the festivities,on April 1, Hamm will also play in the Juno Cup, a competitive hockey game between Juno nominees and formerNHL players, which raises money for amusic education charity.

Hamm has been singing with thechoir since 2006, and choir members, who are spread around most of theprovinces of Canada, typically get to-gether to tour twice a year, he said. They spend a couple of months learn-

ing their music on their own beforegetting together for two or three daysof intense rehearsals. Then they spendseveral days giving concerts and work-shops.

One of the choir’s mandates is to fos-ter choral communities, Hamm said, sothey work with a variety of children, youth and adult choirs, in addition toperforming. The choir has toured mostof the Canadian provinces, and tooktheir latest tour this January, in south-ern Ontario.

Sacred Reflections of Canada, theirsecond album, was recorded last May. All the music was written by living Ca-nadian composers.

Hamm knew the choir hoped the

new album would be nominated for a Juno, but he said the announcement was still a surprise.

“It’s quite humbling to be recognizedin such a way,” he said. “We’re just ordi-nary people.”

Hamm and eight fellow choir members will be in Calgary for the awardevents. He looks forward to sharing theawards announcement with them at a banquet on Saturday night, and havingthem watch him play in the Juno Cupagainst the former NHLers the night before. The Cup raises funds for Mu-siCounts, the music education charityof the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Hamm invites Strathmore Times read-ers to come to the game.

“The game is very entertaining forthe crowd,” he said. “You get to see

some (NHL) greats.” This year’s NHL line-up includes

Mark Napier, Troy Crowder, Brad Dal-garno, and former Flames Curtis Glen-cross, Perry Berezan, Ron Sutter and Jamie Macoun.

“Come out and support music edu-cation and have some good entertain-ment,” he said. The Juno Cup game takes place at

Max Bell Arena, Friday, April 1, at 7:30p.m. Tickets are $20 and are availableat ticketmaster.com.

Times Reporter

Rocky View Raiders head coachPayden Grant has been satisfied with

his team’s recent play, and with sixgames left in the season, knows howcrucial it will be for the team to hittheir stride before Sutter Cup playoffs.

“I’m happy with how we’ve pro-gressed throughout the year,” said theStrathmore native of the Chestermere-based minor midget triple-A team.“We have had some stumbles in theodd game, but our guys are gettingbetter and working hard. We havesome team goals as well that we feelpretty confident about in who we areas a group. I think we can do a lot ofdamage in the playoffs and would bedisappointed if we didn’t make SutterCup.” According to Grant, local play-

ers Joel Krahenbeil, Isaac Beniot, Ty Tarvyd, Tyler Strath and Kelton Travishave been showing strong leadershipqualities and skill, which have madea noticeable impact on the team thisseason.

He added that the team has setthemselves up to be successful at Sut-ter Cup and now it’s just a matter offine tuning some areas including con-sistently dominating teams.

“As far as work ethic, I think it’sbeen there consistently throughoutthe year,” said Grant. “It’s just beingmentally engaged and buying in to what we’re doing. I wouldn’t expectany less from 15-year-olds. I’ve never

coached a team that hasn’t had upsand downs. As long as we’re learningfrom every one one of those stumblesI think we’ll be fine.” Whether it has been through player

meetings or video sessions, there hasbeen a constant reminder to the play-ers about giving it 100 per cent every. The Raiders are sitting in fourth

place with 40 points and a record of15-6-10. The Sutter South Cup will take

place from March 10-13 in Lethbridge with the top two teams, plus the hostteam, going to the Provincial tourna-ment. The Sutter North Cup will alsosend two teams.

The Strathmore Spartans senior boys basketball team started strong in theirhome tournament on Feb 12-13. The team opened up with a 70-point

win over Hugh Sutherland before win-ning a hard-fought double overtime

game over Henry Wisewood the next day, which earned them a spot in the final with Camrose, who defeated them 71-57.

Spartans Head Coach Kyle Larson saidthey were without four regulars in theline-up, and playing with short bench

was tough because in the end the boys were exhausted.

“I thought we played well through thefirst half tonight,” said Larson.

“I think a little bit of fatigue caughtup to us and a short bench. We couldn’tmatch their size. We only had two ourtwo main posts here tonight and asked

other people to do jobs they normallydon’t.”

He added the size difference madeit difficult to generate anything in thepaint and they lived or died in the areaall game long. The biggest thing they can learn from

the tournament is working on more ofa man-to-man offense and getting more

aggressive, while trying to be better onrebounding. Josh Lawal said his team left it out all

on the table but exhaustion set in afterthat double overtime game.

“Next time hopefully we’re mentallyand physically prepared,” said Lawal.

“It was good for us to have this kind ofgame to let us know where we’re at thispoint of the season.”

Lawal was awarded the All-Star awardfor his team, but said the whole teamcould’ve received the honour with the ef-fort they put in all tournament long.

The Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks se-nior girls basketball team were caughtup in a tight battle with the Foothills

Composite Falcons, taking a 28-21 leadinto half, but saw it dissipate and wereoutscored 32-26 in the second half, enroute to a 53-47 defeat on home courton Feb. 11.

“I was pleased with our effort in thefirst half,” said Head Coach Michael An-nicchiarico. “I thought we controlledthe tempo and controlled the game. ButI think a bit of fatigue set in the secondhalf. I think a lot of our girls who playedmost of the game started to tighten upa bit and they put on a very effectivepress in the fourth quarter.”

He said the credit goes to his de-fense for keeping an offensive jugger-naut such as Foothills to only 53 points

because they were used to scoring 90points on other teams.However, he felt his team turned the

ball over too much, and not attackingthe basket hard enough hurt them inthe second half.

“It’s just a matter of will,” said Annic-chiarico. “In the last few minutes we ranout of gas and it cost us. Hopefully wecan chalk this up as a learning experi-ence and be better for it as the seasongoes on.”

Meanwhile, the Hawks junior B boys wrapped up their season with an over-time thriller, coming away with a 40-37

win over Drumheller’s St. Anthony’sSaints at Holy Cross Collegiate on Feb.12.

Head coach Ben Chin said it was agood game for the boys to experienceearly on in their basketball develop-ment.

“It’s a big win for the boys,” said Chin.“It’s not often you can replicate thatsituation in practice. It’s just good ex-perience, especially when these kidsare just starting out in their basketballcareers. It was ugly, and I can’t say it

was very systematic and all they wantto do is come together as a team andhave fun. And when we can win it’s thatmuch easier to have fun.”

The Wheatland Chiefs played three games in afour-night stretch last week and came out with fiveout of a possible six points. The local double-A midget team defeated the

CNHA Canucks 5-4 on Feb. 10 in Calgary, whilegetting a 5-3 road win in Taber on Feb. 12, beforetying the North Division leading West Central Ti-gers 4-4 on Feb. 13 in Hussar. Assistant Coach Keenan Desmet was pret-

ty pleased with how the boys started the gameagainst the Tigers, getting out to a 4-0 lead; how-ever, penalty trouble would cost them late in thecontest.

“We kind of got into some penalty issues there

in the third period,” said Desmet. “That’s kind of what solved the game to get to a tie. Throughoutthe whole game we were down to two lines. Theguys were pretty tired in the third period and weshowed that.”

Ryan Bell, Riley Romashenko, Brad Hendricksand Robert Butterwick scored in the tie.

Desmet said Taber came out hard and got thefirst goal a couple minutes into the game, and af-ter that the boys were able to weather the storm

by pushing back and creating a couple breaks forthemselves.

Butterwick had three goals, while Wacy Sandumand Ryan Skytt rounded out the offense with onegoal each in Taber.

Romashenko led the attack with two goals, whileButterwick, Bell and Chris Rebeyka also scoredagainst the Canucks.

Desmet feels the team is peaking at the righttime with three games left in the season.

“I think everybody that has played in the last few weeks here from top to bottom have all steppedup in certain ways,” said Desmet.

“It’s a good thing to see because we’re comingup to the final tournament here and I think we’rein a pretty good spot. I have nothing but confi-dence going into the tournament with the team

we got.” The Chiefs will be on the road on Feb. 20 to

face Airdrie at 4:45 p.m. before playing their lastregular season home game at the Strathmore Fam-

ily Centre on Feb. 21 versus the Foothills Bisonsat 7 p.m.

Currently, the Chiefs are in first place with 43points, six points clear of Okotoks and 11 pointsahead of Taber.

WARRIORS IN A BATTLE

The Wheatland Warriors sit in third place, onepoint back of both Taber and Cranbrook, but havegames in hand, after doubling up on Okotoks 4-2on Feb. 13 and annihilating the West Central Tiger11-3 on at the Strathmore Family Centre on Feb.14. Assistant Coach Ty Brinton said against a weaker

Tigers team it was great to see the boys showcas-ing their strong skating capabilities and work onnot letting bad habits creep into their game.

“We really used that to our advantage,” said Brin-ton. “Especially when we get teams like that on the

big ice, we can really skate them into the ground.”He mentioned that it was a nice change to see

the scoring spread out rather than one line doingall the work, which helped in the team pushingthe pace all game.

“It was good to see the boys come in and com-pete,” said Brinton. “They didn’t take them toolightly, a lot of times in the bantam age group youcan take teams for granted that are a lot weakerthan you and lower in the standings.”

Cole Berg sniped a hat trick; Brandon Kasdorfand Mo Hakim each added two goals, while AnsonMcMaster, Max Schafer, Ethan McKibbin and Keith

Yellowfly added one each against the Tigers.Hakim notched two goals, while Kasdorf and

Hakim added singles against Okotoks.

The Warriors will hit the ice in Red Deer on Feb.20 at 2:30 p.m. before hosting the Foothills Bisonsat the Strathmore Family Centre at 4:15 p.m. onFeb. 21.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I’m reminded today of howmuch all of us need to havesomeone that takes careof us and shelters us andcomforts us. Just like theshepherd who takes care ofhis flock of sheep. The sheeplearn to trust their shepherdand love him for all he does

for them. There is a desirewithin all of us to have thatcovering in our lives. Just tofeel that sense of safety andrest.We hear about it in Psalm23. It says that the Lord is myShepherd and I will want fornothing. He makes me to liedown in green pastures andleads me beside still watersand restores my soul.That sure sounds wonderful.I think many of us could dowith some restoration andpeace, especially in a world

that has so much turmoil and trouble.It goes on to say that even

when we walk through thevalley of the shadow ofdeath, He is there and Hisrod and staff bring comfort

to us.It is so important to know

that we are not alone. Evenas we walk through troubled

times, there can be peace in the midst of it. We just need to look for it.

Sometimes we focus somuch on our circumstances

that we forget we even havea Shepherd available to us

that wants to bring us peaceand healing and comfort.If we are being led besidestill waters, I think it is im-portant to stop and lay downin the green pasture by therefor awhile and allow ourShepherd to refresh us withsome nice cool water.When was the last time we

took that time? It will be thebest investment you make.Pastor Elizabeth Karp Harvest Healing CentreChurch

The reign of two consecutive zone appearancesfor the Strathmore Spartans boys curling team isover after they were defeated 6-5 in the final end by Standard School during County playdowns atthe Strathmore Curling Club on Feb. 11.

It came down to Standard’s last rock, whereGrade 11 student Will Kathol played an angleraise to draw the stone back in behind Strath-more’s guards, needing a measurement to win.

“To watch him call a shot and make it that

tight and be within a minor difference was funto watch,” said Standard School Coach Cam Hol-loway.

“We haven’t had a lot of chances to play gamesso their experience is lower. The way they adjust-ed to a missed shot and went with Plan B as muchthey could. The skip played some nice shots go-ing into the end.”

Holloway mentioned that with this win they canstill grind it out and come out with a win.

Standard School has only run competitive curl-ing for the last three years and for them to go tozones will hopefully encourage players to partici-

pate next year. The Spartans felt they were prepared for this

match, having practiced since November, and it was tough to lose on the last rock in the end.

“They played a good game and called a goodgame,” said Spartans Coach Michelle Ladene.

“It’s disappointing but they tried their best.I think they read the ice pretty well and beingable to call the right shot. I think our skip Jared(Aschenbrenner) did a very good job at that. It’s just unfortunate they didn’t get the shots and hecalled the shots I would’ve done and they made a beautiful shot to win.”

It may be the end of the short season for the boys team, but the girls and mixed categories areoff to zones, and Ladene is confident in what bothteams can do to build off of last year’s zones.

“I think our mixed team is strong,” said Ladene.“Cole Burton, the skip, has done a lot of juniors

and competitive curling. Layne Wilson, she’s a re-ally good curler, the whole mixed team should begood curlers. The girls team is almost exactly as we had last year. We learned a lot and really cametogether last year at zones.”

Zones take place on Feb. 26-27 in Drumheller, while Provincials are March 4-5 in Ponoka.

For the second consecutive

year the Wheatland Kings aremoving on to the second roundof the playoffs after beating theBanff Bears 4-3 at the Strath-more Family Centre on Feb.12, sweeping the series 2-0 andearning themselves a date withthe number one-ranked Co-chrane Generals. The first period saw Banff exe-

cute as they got out to a 2-0 lead, while the second period was a back and forth affair, beforethe Kings were able find theirgroove in the third period.

Kings head Coach Emilio Fuo-co said he credited his team forusing their speed and intensity

effectively against a Banff team who didn’t quit.

“We knew after the last game we played them, we pepperedthem with shots,” said Fuoco.

“Once we got our speed goingthrough the neutral zone, theycouldn’t keep up with it. That’s

what the difference was, getspeed through the neutral zone,put some pucks to the net andgo for the rebounds.”

Fuoco said for the boys tocome back on Banff was noth-ing new for the team as they haddone it a few times throughoutthe course of the season.

“This is just a little bit of a warm up for us of knowing whatit feels like,” said Fuoco. “It feelsgood. Now the real stuff starts.”

Brooker Pretty Youngman broke the tie at the 4:47 mark ofthe third to propel his team tothe second round.

“I loved the feeling of thehearing the crowd go nuts,” said

Pretty Youngman. “(Tyler) Rivest went down low, I knew he wasgoing to cycle, so I followed andthere was only one defensemanin front of the net and I had seen

an opening.”Zachary Meadows, Chris Wil-

liams and Kristian Ayoungmannotched the other goals in the

win.In the 7-5 Game 1 win on Feb.

10, both teams were tied afterone before the Kings were ableto open it up, outscoring theBears 5-2 in the middle frame.

They picked up where they leftoff after the second intermission,adding one early in the third pe-riod before letting Banff scoretwo more, but that’s as close asit got.

Pretty Youngman and JacenBracko led the way with twogoals apiece while Blake Bishop,

Jayden Smith and Cole Bussling-er supplied one goal each.

pened on Feb. 16 in Cochrane, while the Kings will host Game2 on Feb. 19 at 8 p.m., Game 4on Feb. 22 at 8 p.m. and if neces-sary Game 6 on Feb. 26 at 8 p.m.

THANK YOUS

PAYNE, Robert (Bob)It is with profound sadness that we

announce the passing of Robert

(Bob) Payne on January 29, 2016

at the age of 71. The youngest son

of John Redvers and Zella Payne, Bob was prede-

ceased by his brother Don and is survived by his

sister Doris Stollings (George Tkach) of Red Deer.

Bob leaves behind his beloved wife of 42 years,

Shelley, children Tammy and Cory (Tara), grand-

sons Zach and Chaseton, nephew Bruce Stollings(Pam), and niece Lynn Manning (Dean).

Born in Trochu, Alberta, on May 22, 1944, Bob

shared the limelight of his home town with a

unique shoe store – perhaps the catalyst for his

penchant of sandals with socks later in life. Bob

had great enthusiasm for corny jokes and puns,

always motivated by how big a groan he could

elicit.

A proud central Albertan, he would always re-

mark when passing through Trochu that it was the

place where “Zella had a little Payne”. Achieving

academic success at an early age - including a

Governor General’s award - Bob had his choice

of career paths. He chose to article at the firm of

McKenzie Sheridan in Red Deer for his Chartered

Accountancy, a designation he carried through the

remainder of his life. After graduation, instead of

pursuing accounting immediately, he fulfilled a

challenge in faith and pursued the gospel callingby enrolling in Berean Bible College in Calgary.

His bible college training was supported by his ac-

counting profession. Within a couple of years, Bob

then transitioned from accounting to his first pas-

torate in Hanna, Alberta. Bob continued his paral-

lel careers, changing occasionally over the next 40

years between accounting and pastoring.

No matter where he was at in his profession, he

always stayed close to his passion for sharing the

good news of Jesus. Bob would often recount his

unusual career path by reminding a questioner of

the two certainties in life – death and taxes – and

that he had a foot planted firmly in both camps.

In his spare time Bob’s passion for gardening was

trumped only by a stimulating game of cards, be it

Bridge or Crib – a skill he took time to instill with

his grandsons.

Bob died in San Juan, Puerto Rico during one of his

newest-found loves, cruising.With full confidence in his salvation in Christ, Bob’s

family comes together to celebrate Bob’s passing

to Jesus’ loving arms. A memorial service will be

held on Saturday, February 20, 2016, at Strath-

more Alliance Church (First Avenue and Wheatland

Trail) at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in

Bob’s memory are encouraged to be sent directly

to The Mustard Seed (102 11 Ave. SE, Calgary AB,

T2G 0X5). To send condolences, please visit Bob’s

obituary at www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.

The CFR Bisons got a glimpse of whatpostseason hockey will look like afterplaying a couple of desperate NorthernDivision opponents who threw every-thing they had at them to try to earn aspot in the second season. The club beat the Leduc Oil Kings 4-2

on Feb. 13, but fell to the MLAC BeverlyOptimists 2-0 on Feb. 14. Despite theloss they were able to lock up secondplace and a first round bye to start theplayoffs.

Bisons general manager Wayne Han-

sen said the Oil Kings came out hardand the boys came ready to match theintensity, and it showed as they foundthemselves up 3-0 after two periods.

“Leduc got into some penalty troublesand we scored three power play goals,

which really hurt them,” said Hansen.“They took a four minute penalty and

we scored twice on it and had them ontheir heels. We took our foot off the gasa little bit in the third period which wasa great teaching thing for us becausein this league if you don’t go hard for60 minutes you could find yourself introuble.”

One strong trait for the boys all gamelong was when their defensemen wereable to hit the forwards in stride with

tape-to-tape passes, while the forwardsmade an impact on the back check.

Hansen added that one thing thathelped the team in coming out with the

win was the ability to refocus and notpanic when Leduc scored two goals.

The credit not only goes to the captains, but other players for stepping up to re- juvenate the bench with their play.

Tyson Scott, Liam Izyk, Brett Trenthamand Cole Clayton scored in the win. The game against MLAC had a play-

off feel to it as there were quite a few

fans of both teams in attendance to seea fast-paced, physical contest.

“At the end of the day we probablygot out goaltended,” said Hansen.

“Our guys learned even though youfight hard sometimes you lose andthere’s lessons to be learned in that andthose lessons are plain and simple, thatas long as you keep working hard and

you get your chances you should be al-right.” The Bisons are the defending league

champions and they will carry a targeton their backs.

Hansen said they will have discus-sions with the team about preparation,

but it will be important for them to havefun and stay loose. There will be have to be a focus on

being mentally and physically ready to battle and give it their best when theystep on the ice, especially for those first-

year players who haven’t experiencedthis type of intensity before.

“We’re really going to rely on our vetsto pull these guys along,” said Hansen.“If they see maybe they’re struggling alittle bit mentally, they’ll get them refo-cused. They need to lead by example.” Veteran defenseman Quaid McBean

said the team was in a good mindsetin both games and played as if it wasplayoffs in battling, taking hits, blockingshots and playing physical.

He added that with the bye, it will benice to get some rest and practices in

before their first game.“Everybody is excited for this time of

year,” said McBean.“It’s a different kind of game when it

comes to playoffs. Everybody is battlingthat much harder. Everybody’s payingthe price. I think every guy in this room

will end up dong that.”Game 1 of Round 2 will be played at

the Strathmore Family Centre on Feb. 24at 6:30 p.m.
