victory and the largest voter turnout in re-
cent years, Strathmores municipal election
transformed into one for the books on
Monday night, when all four female coun-
cil candidates secured a seat on the local
government body and declared a gender
majority the first in Strathmores history.
Emotions ran high at 8 p.m. after polls
closed at the Strathmore Civic Centre and
a total of 3,259 ballots were processed.
While votes were tallied at 9:40 p.m. the
candidates were left waiting in anticipation
until 10:20 p.m. when results were publicly
announced.
Meanwhile, in Wheatland County, the
outcome suggests residents wanted to clean
house by introducing new and younger
members and, like Strathmore, increasing
the number of women on council.
In Strathmore, Lorraine Bauer, Tari Cockx,
Melanie Corbiell and incumbent Denise Pe-
terson will be joining Jason Montgomery
and returning Councillor Bob Sobol at the
table as Strathmore town council repre-
sentatives.
With a sweeping victory in a two-horse
race, newly elected Mayor Pat Fule cele-
brated a monumental 2,773 votes on Oct.
16.
I am stunned that the Strathmore public
supported me so overwhelmingly and Im
grateful that they came out in the number
they did, said Fule.
I think thats great. I think its timely
and I think the people who are elected,
Ive known them off and on for quite a few
years, regardless of their gender, theyre
good people and they have some bright
ideas, some different ideas that are out of
the box. I think its exciting to be looking
ahead to working with some new faces.
I think we can start from a clean slate
and we can all work together to make the
town better and, in turn, work with the
county because were all united on a lot
of things.

Cheadle wetland
study results revealed
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

A Cheadle wetland impact study and
recommendations were presented to
Wheatland County council on Oct. 10 by
spokespersons for ISL engineering, with
results to be included in the updated

YEAR
Cheadle Area Structure Plan.
The study identifies environmentally
sensitive areas, their importance and
protection, which will be used for long-
term planning.
Its hard to know what we have and
how to manage those features, unless we
know what we have, said Colton Nickel,
intermediate planner with Wheatland

soil samples, precipitation and snow
melt data, disturbance records and wet-
land conditions were part of the study.
An open house was also held in Chea-
dle with about 20 to 30 people in atten-
dance.
It was noted that the Cheadle area has
an agriculture base of tame pasture and
cultivated soil, situated in a low-lying

$5,000
area, near wetland, springs and water-
courses, with minimal infrastructure to
deal with drainage.
The area falls within the Grasslands
Natural Region, dominated by blue-
bunch fescue, mountain rough fescue
and Parrys oatgrass. Geodiscover, an
Alberta catalogue of geographical data,
lists the area with a relative wetland val-
ue of about $18,600 per acre.
Shallow wells and groundwater depos-
its range from zero to 4.5 metres below
the surface. There was a mean of about
400 mm of precipitation, and the water
catchment area is about 2,000 hectares.

Neighbours angered over GFL fire and asbestos for more info

MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Nightingale residents are fuming over a continuous not-
in-my-backyard attitude and an endless array of down-
played scenarios when dealing with the Green for Life (GFL)
Wheatland Compost Facility in light of recent test findings
and a fire.
The communitys concerns regarding health, property val-
ues and quality of life once again garnered attention when
a piece of diesel-fueled equipment caught fire at the facility
over the weekend.
The incident occurred just days after the non-profit orga-
nization Neighbours Against Pollution 2017 (NAP) released
a statement regarding findings of asbestos in drywall found
across the fence line in one residents field. The organiza-
tion hired Western Site Technologies Inc., which took nine
samples on Oct. 13. According to NAP 2017, the results in-
dicated that one of the samples contains asbestos and the
testing company recommended remediation and asbestos
abatement to be conducted. However, a communications
and public engagement firm, Transitional Solutions, hired
by the conglomerate, was unable to comment on the test
results, not having received the report, and stated that GFL
tested the drywall materials on site for asbestos in July 2017
and test results did not indicate the presence of asbestos.
However, the company said they will follow up with Alberta
Environment and Parks on the matter. Furthermore, the re-
sponse by Alberta Health Services and Wheatland County
representatives to NAP 2017s concerns regarding the recent
incidents remained lackluster.
This is wrong, said Dennis Kiemeny, president of NAP
2017. Nobody has done anything. If we hadnt stepped up
to get this far nobody would do anything. If we wouldnt
have formed a group and fought like we have there would
be nothing happening. Wed all get sick and die out here.

their concerns have landed on deaf ears.
Theyve been covering up all this time but nobody will

and her kids are sick. Shes beside herself and doesnt know
what to do with her kids and the doctors told her its from
sulphur. Now she hears asbestos and its even worse. We all
need to be screened and tested.
NAP 2017 say they will continue to contact local and pro-
vincial representatives and organizations to have the dry-
wall tested by a third party. 413 - 3rd St. Strathmore

Landslide victory for Fule
Continued from Page 1
In the wake of weeks of campaign-
ing, candidates vowed to address vari-
ous issues facing Strathmore, including
recreation, crime, youth, downtown
revitalization, seniors and streamlining
processes.
While the turnout was not favourable
for former councillors Rocky Blokland
and Steve Grajczyk, or for hopeful can-
didates John Hilton OBrien, Gordon
Porteous, Peter Landry and mayoral
candidate Earl Best, Lorraine Bauer and
Tari Cockx were overcome with emo-
tion and appreciation at the civic centre
shortly after results were announced.
It feels so good to be more a part
of a town that has embraced me over
the last 16 years, and Im thrilled to be
the peoples representative, said Bauer.
Its absolutely fantastic for women, for
Strathmore, for relationships. I really
believe that this is going to be the start
of some amazing partnerships.
During the last municipal election
on Oct. 21, 2013, now former May-
or Michael Ell received 59.64 per cent
of the vote with a total of 1,513 bal-
lots. Ell announced he would not seek
re-election after one term and instead
focus on retirement. While an increase
in voter turnout can be credited to the
candidates themselves, returning officer
for the Town of Strathmore Jennifer Sa-
watzky stated that additional voting op-
portunities such as early voting and
mail-in ballots contributed to a rise in
numbers.
Although Fule has seven years ex-
perience sitting on council with a few
stints as deputy mayor, Strathmores top
elected position may pose a learning
curve in the future.

Strathmore youngster keeps giving
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Twelve-year-old Emma Moore is
unlike most kids her age. Last year,
for her birthday, she gathered and
stuffed 100 purses with $7,000 worth
of products for women in need at the
Community Crisis Shelter.
Since then, the youngster hasnt
stopped giving.
From the purse project to creat-
ing hygiene kits for the Wheatland
County Food Bank to Ems Bedtime
Bundles toiletries, books, blankets
and stuffed toys donated to shelters in
Strathmore Moore is now setting her
sights on nearly 5,000 isolated seniors
in the surrounding areas.
Last November, the family adopted
two Alberta seniors deemed to be iso-
lated and without family during the
holidays, through the Seniors Secret
Services Christmas Cheer Program.
When Moore found out many seniors
who were added on the list late were
not adopted, she collected 30 blankets
to donate. This year shes adopting
two more seniors while continuing to
collect blankets and fuzzy socks.
It makes me feel good to do some-
thing nice for the community, because
its nice when you feel safe in your
community and you know everyone is
taken care of, said Moore. Its nice to
see that its not just me. Its the whole
community and not just one person. I
couldnt get all that stuff by myself so
its a lot of community too.
The Seniors Secret Service worked
together with 124 different care part-
ners and outreach agencies in an area
spanning from Claresholm to Co-
chrane to Three Hills and in between.
The organization is expecting nearly
4,700 seniors from independent living
facilities to 24-hour care facilities to
be adopted a family anonymously
purchases items on the seniors wish
list to gift them at Christmas which
would result in an overall increase of
over 400 seniors.
Emma is an amazing young lady
and probably the youngest person
who has initiated it on her own, said
Andrea Brumwell, executive director
with the Seniors Secret Service.

were able to affect the lives of almost
4,700 seniors, but we cant do that
without the support of the volunteers.
If it werent for people like Emma
who collected these items for us, then
the seniors would not receive a gift at
Christmas and they would feel alone.
For those seniors added to the list at
the last minute, the organization pro-
vides a wish list of general items to
ensure no one is left without a little
something during the holidays. There-
fore, Moore is asking the community
for blanket and fuzzy sock donations
to bring a little warmth to a seniors
Christmas this year.
In 2014, Moore and her family vol-
unteered with the Christmas Hamper
Society and that sparked her desire to
help those in need. While her bigger
projects occur around her birthday in
March, when she will ask for dona-
tions and even use some of her birth-
day money to purchase items for her
bundles, Moores donation projects
span all year round and have impact-
ed hundreds of people.
Locally, her efforts have resulted in
contributions to Woods Homes, the
Wheatland Crisis Society, the Wheat-
land County Food Bank, the Strath-
more Overnight Shelter, Veterans
Food Bank with the Strathmore Le-
gion, the YWCA Sheriff King Home
and Inn from the Cold.
The Wheatland County Food Bank
distributed 690 hampers last year
from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31. Moore created
hygiene kits to add into the hampers.
According to members of the Wheat-
land County Food Bank, the need for
donations is year-round, and they
are thrilled to see such leadership in
some of Strathmores youth.
Among her biggest supporters and
cheerleaders are Emmas parents,
who are awestruck by her selfless na-
ture and ability to tackle her projects
while also involved in volleyball, pia-
no and competitive swimming.
Its really exciting and we are in-
credibly proud of her, said Cecilia
Moore, Emmas mother. Were thank-
ful that shes willing to be so giving
of her time and think of what oth-
ers might need. I think its important
that young people understand the
connection between each other in a
41st Year!

desire to help.
Forcing attendance also con-
stitutes cost and time manage-
ment issues for members, when
issues dont pertain to their area.
It forces the representative of
Wheatland County to attend 40
to 50 meetings a year at a huge
cost, over and above the other
costs, said Parkin.
Wheatland County staff along
with councillor Rex Harrison
made the point that it may be
prudent to always attend, to
protect Wheatland County rate-
payers interests and give sup-
port to other rural members,
under the given parameters list-
ed in the plan. It was suggested
that electronic participation be
allowed to save travel time, and
allow for inclement weather and
conflicting schedule demands.
Klauer stated that the plan
was unclear in promotion of
long-term sustainability, eco-
nomic well-being and competi-
tiveness of the Calgary metro-
politan region.
These are very broad state-
ments with no definitions of
sustainability and economic
well-being. Furthermore, it
notes competitiveness. It is un-
clear with whom the Calgary
Metropolitan board competes,
said Klauer.
There was confusion about
whether members were com-
peting within the partnership
with each other, or whether the
document meant other parties
outside the regional area. There
has been some indication that
provincial directives encourage
competitiveness over collabora-
tion between regions within the
province.
Cost-sharing of regional proj-
ects is mandated in the docu-
ment, without parameters to
how the cost sharing will be
conducted. The county would
like to know if population and/
or land base is the criteria. Sepa-
rating Wheatland Countys pop-
ulation not covered in the plan
from the cost formula will be
challenging. It was noted that
the board has the ability to req-
uisition additional costs at any
time for projects. Council want-
ed to ensure that it only pay for
things that benefit the countys
ratepayers covered under the
region. There was some fear
there could be a strain on a mu-
nicipalitys budget, especially in
overrun and servicing issues.
The province of Alberta has
clearly stated, in a couple meet-
ings that I have been in, that
in five years they want to pay
nothing towards this, said Par-
kin. A comment was made at
a meeting a couple of months
ago that costs would be split 10
ways and I dont believe that is
fair.
No public consultation or ap-
peal processes are included in
the plan. The county considered
this unacceptable and asked
due process as per the Munici-
pal Governance Act be included.
Councillor Brenda Knight said
she would like to see agricul-
tural land excluded from the
plan. She gave the example of
the farms around Cheadle. All
bylaws and land development
issues, such as ASPs and MDPs
made by the county, have to
adhere to the specifications set
out in the plan and receive ap-
proval by the regional board. It
effectively adds another level of
ambiguous red tape for citizens
to negotiate, not to mention
how decision-making may delay
business as usual. It may extend
the processes by an extra month
or more, which costs money for
developers and contractors.
The strongest disagreement
is still the disproportionate vot-
ing system, which gives Calgary
and those it influences greater
clout. Klauer suggested there
could be a different voting
structure considered on issues
that dont have a clear regional
scope. Wheatland County coun-
cil wants to see municipalities
given the last right to veto ac-
tions that might have detrimen-
tal effects on the municipality
and its ratepayers.
In close votes, where Wheat-
land County plays a decisive
role, it will only be discounted
by Calgary. It doesnt matter
how close the vote is, if Calgary
doesnt agree with it, it is not
going to happen, said Arm-
strong.
Armstrong referred to the
recent blockade Edmonton
played in the Capital Regional
board denial for expansion by
the County of Beaumont, be-
cause Edmonton held the ma-
jority population base and veto
vote. Eighteen of the 24 mem-
bers supported Beaumonts re-
quest for annexation and devel-
opment plans without winning
the vote.
In Alberta, the democratic
vote is based on the population
and you arent given an extra
vote because you have more
land, more money or prestige.
You are given a vote because
you are one person, said reeve
Glenn Koester.
The process will be ongoing
and many delicate negotiations
will be necessary to bring ben-
efits to all the members in the
Calgary region.
If we are in, we are going to
be in and participate as every
councillor participates at this
table, said Koester. We keep
that as our goal and mission
statement. We are in there for
Wheatland Countys benefit and
we will pay our share for that
benefit. We are in there for the
greater good and we believe
those who are receiving the
services should pay for the ser-
vices, and those receiving ben-
efit for the board will pay for
the board.

10 years of Celebration of Lights: searching for volunteers and funds
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
For the past 10 years, when the clock strikes
midnight and most Canadians are ringing in
the new year on Jan. 1, industrious Strathmore
resident Rose Hamrlik is already preparing the
groundwork for the upcoming Celebration of
Lights Christmas Park and Family New Years par-
ty.
With many hats to choose from, Hamrlik logs
thousands of hours in overtime coordinating vol-
unteers and events, decorating, building displays,
finding sponsors, and collecting raffle items.
Despite the efforts of roughly 50 volunteers
who lend a helping hand every year, volunteer
hours and monetary donations took a nosedive,
while interest and attendance climbed.
Therefore, along with this years milestone
birthday 10 years since a Merry Christmas sign
turned into a well-attended sought-after event
the demand for more participation is growing.
A lot of our volunteers are the same ones every
year, and a lot of them are getting up in age, said
Hamrlik, chairperson of the Celebration of Lights
Christmas Park. Were coming out with boxes
that are huge, full of stuff, and they have to be
moved, and you have to check every single light
strand there is. Its miles and miles of cords and
extension cords.
In 2007, then Strathmore and District Agricul-
tural Society General Manager Steve Grajczyk no-
ticed that the lonely Merry Christmas sign hang-
ing from the fence at the societys grounds was
spelled incorrectly. Determined to rectify the situ-
ation, he approached Hamrlik with an idea of a
Christmas park and a vision of one million light
bulbs strung up over 25 years.
Together with her husband, Dennis, and some
volunteers, Hamrlik gathered all her countless
Christmas decorations and bedecked the play-
Community Coat Program underway

Strathmore and Wheatland County Christmas
Hamper Society
With the approach of colder weather, the Strath-
more and Wheatland County Christmas Hamper
Society, as the charity behind the Community Coat
Program, has announced this years program is
underway.
The program this year will be slightly different
due to the shortage of space at SFCSS and the li-
brary. The coat racks will be located at the Harvest
Healing Centre Church at 102 Canal Gardens in
Strathmore. There will only be certain times for
drop off and pick up, but we hope the community
will bear with us for this season.

throughout Christmas, and the young and old
alike love it.
However, behind the scenes, Hamrlik and her
group of volunteers have faced their share of chal-
lenges. As nearly everything is handmade, the or-
ganizers continue to try to find more construction
panels to build on their displays. So far nobody
has stepped up to donate the materials, and costs
havent been favourable. The older lights have a
two to three-year shelf life and require constant
replacement. In the past, the CFR Chemicals Bi-
sons players also used to donate their time to help
set up the park, but with their move to Airdrie the
park lost manpower. Most memorable, however,
was the vandalism that plagued the grounds last
year. Damage was done to the Santa Claus, a $500
soldier statue, the sleigh, all nine reindeer were
destroyed beyond repair, both tents were slashed
and the contents inside were knocked over. The
rubber feed-line to a big propane tank was also
cut with its contents leaking into the air. It took
extra funds from the town, donations from com-
munity members, and much work to still have the
gates opened on opening day only a week after
the incident.
Active Living at Wheatland Elementary
Students of Wheatland Elementary School participated in
Activing Living Day on Oct. 5, to encourage the schools phi-
losophy of healthy, active living while promoting community
partnerships with local clubs and organizations which also
support active participation. Several organizations, includ-
ing Strathmore Minor Ringette, Lacross and Jumphouse
Gymnastics, were on hand to help students stay active.
Health promotion coordinator from Alberta Health Servic-
es, Christine Vokins educated students on the importance
of proper hydration and nutrition and the Parent Advisory
Council kicked off their Big Crunch campaign by handing
out apples to every student to encourage healthy eating
habits. Grade 3 student Elizabeth Scott flips over a matt at

REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS ~ Roger & Denise (Peterson) Nelson

JOHN GODSMAN
Times Contributor
Rogers great-grandfather Andrew
and great-grandmother Gauvaelin Nill-
son came from Vesterbotten, Sweden
to Canada around the 1850s, settling in
Seven Farms, Sask. Grandfather Robert
was born in Canada and his son, Rogers
dad Albert, was born at
Whitewood, Sask. on
Oct. 30, 1918. When Al-
bert joined the Canadi-
an army in the Second
World War, the enlist-
ing officer wrote down
Nelson instead of
Nillson, which in ad-
dition to changing the
family name, caused
major problems when
Albert tried to collect
his pension.
Rogers maternal
grandmother Matilda Abelson came from
an area of Sweden close to the Norwe-
gian border, and this side of the fam-
ily came to Canada in 1900, settling in
Metiskow, Alta. near Provost where they
homesteaded. His mother Ruby Abelson
was born in Provost Oct. 30, 1927.
Albert and Ruby met when his aunt
and uncle took both of them to a dance
at the Provost Hotel. They were married
in 1952, and had three surviving chil-
dren, of which Roger was the second.
Roger was born in Killam, Alta. In
August 1955, and attended the Edwin
Parr Composite High School in Atha-
basca through Grade 12, then obtained
his Bachelor of Education at the Univer-
sity of Alberta. In 2006, Roger began a
four-year Diaconate Program in Calgary.
He was ordained to the Sacred Order of
Permanent Deacon (Roman Catholic Dio-
cese of Calgary) on Oct. 3, 2010 and was
assigned to three parishes Strathmore,
Siksika and Cluny.
Denises paternal family originates
from County Cork, Eire (Ireland). To es-
cape the poverty in Eire in the 1870s,
great-grandfather Tom Carroll emigrated
with his family to P.E.I.
where Tom and his
brothers became po-
tato farmers. Grandfa-
ther Joe Carroll moved
to Edmonton in the
early 1900s, to join
the Alberta Provincial
Police. He married
grandmother Mary Mc-
Isaac in Edmonton in
1910. After he retired
from the police force
in 1920, they moved
to Oyen where they
homesteaded. They had six children, and
Denises dad Percy was the second, born
in 1912. Percy quit school when he was
11 years old to earn income for the fam-
ily. At age 12 he joined a threshing crew,
broke horses and worked forestry in B.C.
He also worked for the Hudsons Bay
Company, breaking land that homestead-
ers had abandoned in the Dirty Thirties.
By 1938, he had earned sufficient money
to purchase his own mixed farm south
of Oyen, which he purchased from the
Hudsons Bay Company.
Denises maternal grandparents, Frank
and Leontine Lijdsman, were from Breda
and Venlo, Netherlands. They were mar-
ried on Feb. 26, 1919 at the end of the
First World War. They had five children,
of which Denises mother Helen was the
second oldest. During the war, her grand-
father Frank, a lieutenant in the Dutch
army, had docked in Boston in 1916,
and while there filed on a homestead in
southern Alberta. They actually moved
to Canada in 1919, arriving on the last
ship that brought soldiers home from
Europe after the war. They homesteaded
close to the community of Bindloss, Alta.
Daughter Helen attended Normal School
in 1939, and assumed a teaching position
in September 1940 at Southview School,
Alta. near Bindloss. It was in this commu-
nity that Percy and Helen met, and were
then married on Aug. 31, 1944.
Denise was born July 29, 1954 at Oyen,
the fourth of five siblings. She attended a
one-room school in Greenmound, south
of Oyen, through Grades 1-4, then went
to Oyen for Grades 5 to 11. At the age
of 17, she married a local rancher and
they had three children. When this mar-
riage broke up in 1981, she moved with
her three children to Calgary, where de-
spite only having a Grade 11 education,
she upgraded her high school education,
then completed her Bachelor of Educa-
tion Degree at the University of Calgary
(U of C), in 1984. That same year, she
was hired by County of Wheatland #16
to teach at the Young Offenders Cen-
tre, where Roger was the vice-principal.
Roger and Denise were married Dec. 24,
1985 and they share five children and
eight grandchildren. Denise returned to
U of C in 2012, and graduated with a
Masters Degree in Interdisciplinary Re-
search in 2014.
They were, and continue to be, very
involved in the community. Rogers high-
lights include serving on Strathmore
town council from 1989-2004, member
of the Strathmore and District Agricul-
tural Society and principal of Storefront
School from 2003-2010. Hes been a
volunteer fireman and vice-principal of
the Strathmore Young Offenders Centre
as well. In his spare time, he is a wood
carver.
Denise has been very involved with
both the province and local Alberta
Teachers Associations, has served on
many volunteer committees including
Wheatland Housing, FCSS, Project Hope,
Strathmore Library and Childrens Ser-
vices, and is currently a member of the
Western District Historical Society.
She also coached fastball for 26 years.
She served as principal of Storefront
School from 1996-2003, was a teacher at
Sequoia School from 2003-2013 and has
worked at Siksika Outreach as a consul-
tant and teacher from 2013 to present.
She has been a member of Strathmore
town council since 2013.
In her spare time Denise is a potter.
Both Roger and Denise say the big-
gest change theyve seen in their Strath-
more community, south of downtown, is
the shift from retired farmers with sin-
gle family dwellings to highly densified
multi-family dwellings.

Speed warnings posted

SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Residential warning signs will be
posted at the entrance to all hamlets
in Wheatland County after a success-
ful trial brought positive results in the
hamlet of Nightingale. The signs cost
$5,850 and will be installed by the
county sign technician. The purpose
is to remind motorists to drive safely
and watch for resident activity in the
hamlets.
STORM MANAGEMENT DRAFT
Wheatland County council signed
the Regional Storm Water Management
Plan, and passed it to the cooperative
partners for their signatures. Any re-
visions made to the plan will be re-
viewed prior to final approval that is
expected in Jan. 2018.
The proper development of a storm
water development management plan
is essential to alleviate existing drain-
age and flooding issues, as well as al-
low for efficient use of developable
lands when new applications are pro-
posed in the county, stated Michael
Ziehr, Wheatland Countys transporta-
tion and utilities manager.
Each partner will respectively con-
tribute to costs for their areas, with
offsite levies generating the bulk of
the revenue, but an application for a
government grant of $7.6 million will
be made prior to approval for project
start. All regulations met for expansion
or modification to Weed Lake will be
done prior to approval. The Western
Irrigation District (WID) will not con-
tribute financial costs, but contribute
in-kind work, material and staff. WID
will develop and maintain the system,
with direction from the cooperative.
All existing regulatory approvals for
water licenses and registrations will
be transferred to the cooperative and

Wheatland regional
deputy fire chief
ready for action
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

Wheatland County has secured many
talented employees in the past and their
hire of regional deputy chief Mac de
Beaudrap is just another coup.
de Beaudrap
is no stranger to
fire services or the
Wheatland County
area, as he previ-
ously served as
fire chief in Strath-
more. He has also
worked in fire ser-
vices for the Town
of Cochrane and
County of Rocky
View. His firefight-
ing career expe-
rience extends to many communities
all over Alberta, and his reason for ac-
cepting the job at Wheatland County is
simple.
I sought out this position, said de
Beaudrap. I love the area and the peo-
ple.
The deputy chief position is a new
designation for Wheatland County fire
administration. de Beaudrap said he is
looking forward to challenges as they
present themselves, and expects his po-
sition will help expedite smooth inter-
actions in response to ratepayer needs.
There has been a lot of change in
this fire service and I think there is still
a great opportunity for growth, he said.
de Beaudrap currently reports to re-
gional fire chief Judy Unsworth and he
is responsible for training, fire inspec-
tions, fire investigations and public edu-
cation. Wheatland West and Carseland
fire crews are cooperatively supervised
under his direction.
de Beaudrap said he looks forward
to working with the teams and assist-
ing in their professional growth oppor-
tunities. He said there is a strong group
of collaborative partners in the current
municipal mutual aid agreements and
he expects those agreements will serve
southern Alberta well. He is impressed
with the current administration and said
pieces are in place to move the depart-
ment forward to meet future challenges.
We have all the right people in place
to deal with any change that comes our
way, said de Beaudrap.

How to find time for fitness
Many adults admit to having little
or no time to exercise, and statis-
tics support the notion that men
and women simply arent exercising
enough. According to the National
Center for Health Statistics, only 21
percent of adults ages 18 and older
met the physical activity guidelines
for aerobic and muscle-strengthening
activity (Note: The World Health Or-
ganization recommends that healthy
adults between the ages of 18 and
64 should do at least 150 minutes of
moderate-intensity aerobic physical
activity throughout the week or do at
least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity
aerobic physical activity throughout
the week, while also performing mus-
cle-strengthening activities involving
the major muscle groups at least two
days per week.)
Commitments to work and fam-
ily can make it hard to find time to
visit the gym or exercise at home. But
the benefits of regular exercise are
so substantial that even the busiest
adults should make concerted efforts
to find time to exercise. The following
are a handful of ways to do just that.
Embrace multitasking. Many pro-
fessionals are adept at mult-tasking
in the office, and those same skills
can be applied when trying to find
time for exercise. Instead of plopping
down on the couch to watch televi-
sion, bring a tablet to the gym or the
basement and stream a favorite show
while on the treadmill or the ellipti-
cal. When running errands around
town, ride a bicycle or walk instead of
driving.
Cut down on screen time. A 2016
report from The Nielsen Company
revealed that the average adult in
the United States spent more than
10 hours each day consuming media.
That includes time spent using smart-
phones, tablets, personal computers,
and other devices. By reducing that
screen time by just one hour per day,
adults can create enough free time to
meet the WHO-recommended exer-
cise requirements.

Concerns about medical emergency services in Wheatland County

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
A Wheatland County mayor and fire
chief expressed concerns over medical
emergency service in rural areas in the
county since Alberta Health Services
took over ambulance dispatch.
Until about two years ago, all emer-
gency services in Wheatland County
were coordinated by WADEMSA (Wheat-
land and District Emergency Medical
Services Association), and dispatched
through a Strathmore call centre.
When a medical call came from a ham-
let or rural area, the local fire department
and ambulance were both dispatched.
Firefighters, trained as first responders,
typically arrive on scene first, providing
initial care and a reassuring presence
until ambulance personnel arrive.
It was one of the better-run ambu-
there long enough now that we should
not be having the issue repeated.
According to Burke, the patient care
once the ambulance is on scene is just
fine. We have problems getting the am-
bulances paged to that scene. We have
problems getting the firemen paged to
that scene, for that initial medical atten-
tion. All that points right back to our 911
call centres.
Burke discussed this issue with MLA
Derek Fildebrandt, and asked him to
contact Foothills Emergency Services,
where the MLA has expressed similar
concerns.
We certainly expect something to
move forward from that, said Burke. If
we dont get that sort of support, maybe

Times Reporter

The recreational hockey league de-

signed for women is back for its 10th sea-
son.
The Babes on Blades womens hockey
league hosted a come try it night on Oct.
15 at Rockyford Arena.
The organization is intended for women
over the age of 18 with a wide range of
hockey skills featuring former college
players and first-timers.
The Babes players meet up roughly
once a week to play a scrimmage against
other club members.
As a way to bring in more players, the

are nervous to try playing hockey again.

Spartans poised to defend title

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The defending provincial champi-
on cross-country runners are armed
to defend their title with the biggest
group of runners in school history.
After losing 10 seniors who were
vital in capturing the schools first
provincial cross-country title, the
Strathmore High School Spartans are
sending 21 kids to Rundle Park in
Edmonton Oct. 21 to defend the title
following their third-straight South
Central Zone championship.
I hoped that we would do well;
they are a very dedicated group of
runners, but ( Jerry) Flaws and I were
staggered at how well we were do-
ing, said Spartans head coach Paul
Sonsteby, who was receiving text
updates from Flaws. I was cautious-
ly optimistic, but I ended up being
blown away.
The Spartans captured the zone
banner for the fourth time in the past
five years Oct. 11 in Sundre, on what
was a surprisingly difficult course.
It wasnt an easy race; it was cold,
there was some snow and it was very
windy, said Sonsteby. There were
also a couple substantial hill climbs
that made it a very difficult run.
Because of their strong showing,
the Spartans will send a minimum of
three runners in each of the six cat-
egories to Edmonton.
The Top 18 from each age group
advanced to provincials.
Kage Yellowfly was the only Spar-
tan on the podium, when he won the
junior boys 4 kilometre (km) run in
14:52. Luke Schramm was the next
best junior runner, placing fifth in
16:04.
Powerhouse runner Rayanne Lay-
cock placed fourth in the interme-
diate girls 4 km run with a time of
19:15. Ainsley Olson finished fifth in
the junior girls 4 km run in 14:54. In
the senior girls 4 km race, the top two
Spartans were Kaylin Larson, who
finished sixth with a time of 20:05,
and Adine Tarcea crossed the line in
20:48 for ninth.
Intermediate boys runner Josh Fili-
pionek rounded out the top 10 finish-
ers, when he placed sixth in the 5 km
run in 23:21.
Its the strong junior and interme-
diate groups Sonsteby is excited to
work with presently and in the years
to come. He believes the Spartans
dominance over the past five years is
all due to Crowther Memorial Junior
High School and elementary schools
around town developing successful
cross-country and running programs.
Most of the work is done by the time
the runners arrive at Strathmore High
School.
Sonsteby is feeling confident head-
ing into provincials, not just because
of the large squad he will be rolling
with, but because he believes the
course wont be as challenging as
Sundres.
Leading into Sonstebys surprise-
ment was the shortness of the run-
ning season. With only a few races
to learn from, he didnt understand
what the potential was for his run-
ners.
A little scouting of the provincial
course via Google Maps revealed just
one hill in the river valley, and it fea-
tures a less gradual climb compared
to the hills in Sundre.
It wont compare to what our run-
ners just went through in zones, said
Sonsteby. We are looking for better
times out of our runners because its
an easier course.
The Spartans have the horses to
put them in place to be the second
team in school history and first team
to win back-to-back provincial titles
since the golf squad captured the
2012 and 2013 banners.
The goal was to bring more people out
to see if we could build any interest in
the sport, said a member of the Babes on
Blades organization, Sara Van Kruyssen.
The event ran for an hour and featured
13 new participants.
We pretty much hit our max capacity
for new players and we have a few more
people that are interested in the group but
were unable to attend, said Van Kruyssen.
It was a really good night for us.
For the most part, the Babes will divide
whoever shows up for the Sunday night
scrimmage into two teams for an evening
of activity.
Some weeks we get a lot of skaters,
some weeks we dont get many numbers.
Often times with busy work lives and
dealing with kids our numbers dwindle
over the season. We are just looking for a
friendly, safe way to stay active and play
some hockey, said Van Kruyssen.
Occasionally, through years of built up
contact, the Babes will play an exhibition
game against teams from Carstairs, Vulcan
and Delburne.
The program runs until the final week
of March, when the Babes historically
compete in the Banff Cup tournament.
Fees for a full season of commitment
run $160, but there is also a drop-in op-
tion.
Any interested players are encouraged
to check out the Babes on Blades Hock-
ey Facebook page. Their next ice time is
booked for Oct. 22 at 8 p.m. in Rockyford.

Did You Know?
The aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, tends to be more
visible during autumn because geomagnetic storms are about twice as likely

another busy season

to occur during the fall thanks to cool evening weather.

Weight gain around this time of year may not only be due to comforting fall
foods like pumpkin pie and cider, researchers have found that lack of vitamin

TYLER LOWEY We have played out in Strath- tion to come up with terms of
Times Reporter

There is so much hockey on

deck this season that the Strath-
more Minor Hockey Association
will need a shoehorn to fit all
the games into the Strathmore
Family Centre.
Actually, numbers are up so
much compared to two years
ago, according to SMHA presi-
dent Natalie Haslund, that
teams are forced to look else-
where for ice time.
Atom and novice teams are
having to practice in Rockyford,
Hussar, Standard and Gleichen,
said Haslund. There are about
eight practices per week that
require ice from elsewhere.
The growth of the hockey
program is staggering. Its num-
bers have inflated nearly by 100
kids over the past two years.
This year, there are 482 kids
registered, up from last years
total of 448.
The total number of teams re-
quiring ice is also up by three,
for a total of 30. There are
seven age programs across the
system, starting with an intro-
ductory program for kids aged
three to five, all the way up to
midget. There are also four fe-
male teams this year, one more
than last year.
One would think with the
loss of the much-loved midget
AAA franchise, that a vast sec-
tion of ice time would open up,
but that isnt the case.
The Bisons usually only
practiced from 2:30 (p.m.) until
4 in the afternoon. The earliest
our practices start is 4 p.m.,
said Haslund, who has been the
president of SMHA since April.
We did not gain much ice time
from them leaving.
In fact, the Calgary Canucks
of the Alberta Junior Hockey
League reached out to SMHA,
asking to hold a pair of exhibi-
tion games at the Family Cen-
tre to test the temperature for
interest in Junior A hockey in
Strathmore.
more before and it worked well.
We got good crowds, good at-
mosphere and its always good
to expand the brand, said Ca-
nucks president Pat Loyer. We
are going to start with two
games and then reassess things.
If things go well, we will add a
couple games.
Strathmore is a good place
for a ( Junior A) team. As of
right now, the Canucks have no
need to relocate our franchise.
The Canucks have agreed to
play at the Family Centre Nov.
19 (2:30 p.m.) when they host
the Okotoks Oilers, and Dec. 8
when they host the defending
AJHL champion Brooks Bandits
(7:30 p.m.).
Should enough fans turn out,
the Canucks would return in
the New Year for another pair of
regular season games. During
the Junior A event, there will be
a 50-50 draw and a raffle table
as a way to raise money for the
SMHA.
If a Junior A team were to call
Strathmore home one day, more
ice would seem to be a neces-
sity.
Even without adopting an-
other team, Haslund already
reached out to local MLA Derek
Fildebrandt about the possibil-
ity of developing a new arena.
We talked about what we
need in town, why we need
it and how it would be sup-
ported by the community, said
Haslund. It isnt just us that
uses the ice, the AA programs,
figure skating, ringette pro-
grams and recreation leagues
use the ice, too.
Haslund hasnt heard any-
thing back from the Town of
Strathmore or from Fildebrandt
about her proposal. All she has
been told is that they are work-
ing on it.
As far as the arena is con-
cerned, I have been hearing
from many parents about the
need for more ice time. Its
definitely on this councils ra-
dar, and we asked administra-
reference for a new committee
whose sole focus would be on
that concept, said newly elect-
ed Mayor Pat Fule prior to the
election. Im in favour of a new
arena, we just need to get all
the heads of the stakeholder
groups together to start plan-
ning.
New arena or not, despite the
large numbers, there is actually
a shortage on puck stoppers in
the association.
We have to grow and gen-
erate goalies in the peewee
and bantam levels, and we are
bringing in a program that we
think will help that out, said
Haslund.
The P3 Training hockey de-
velopmental group will hold
three goalie instruction courses
starting in November. There
will be one per month, ending
in January, as they hope to edu-
cate and teach kids about the
goaltending position.
But the puck doesnt stop
there with P3s help.
A lot of the time, parents who
coach at the introduction and
Timbit levels have not coached
before. P3 Training is stepping
in and will help new coaches
out by coming up with new
practice programs and drills
for the kids, to help teach the
game.
The atom program and their
experienced coaches will be
ready to roll when the atom
tournament comes to the Strath-
more Family Centre Nov. 10-12.
More than 40 teams from across
Alberta will gravitate into town
for the tournament.
The novice program will also
host a very similar tournament
later in the season, running Jan.
5-7 at the Family Centre.
The SMHA regular season got
under way last week. They plan
on hosting provincial tourna-
ments across a few age groups,
but has to wait until middle of
December to hear to if they
were awarded the right to host
the tournaments or not.

open our spiritual ears to hear
whispers of truth, we know a
battle line has been drawn and it
is ours to win.
However, FORGIVENESS! Not
only does that concept sound
like defeat, rather we feel it is

Peewee Braves humbled by Lightning on home ice

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
It was their first measuring-stick game of the season
and it yielded impressive results despite being on the
wrong side of the score sheet.
The Wheatland Braves were fresh off a pair of vic-
tories and taking on the South Division leaders, the
Lethbridge Hurricanes.
The local double-A peewee team trailed 3-2 enter-
ing the final frame, but became unwound in the third,
eventually falling 6-3 at the Strathmore Family Centre
on Oct. 14.
I actually thought our performance last weekend
wasnt that impressive. We only showed up for four
out of the six periods and we were fortunate to get
two wins, said Keith Klemmensen, Braves head coach.
I thought we created good opportunities tonight, but
werent able to score against the best team that weve
seen all year.
The Braves trailed 1-0 in the first, when a scramble
in front of the Hurricanes net appeared to go in, but
was waved off immediately.
Forty-four seconds later, the Braves were still buzz-
ing in the offensive zone when Jace Koole was camped
out front and received a slick backhand pass from Gar-
rin Gosling. Koole wasted no time, punching the puck
in for his first of the season.
The Hurricanes (6-0-1) regained the lead after Trad
Owens toe-dragged around a pair of Brave defenders,
but was initially turned away by Matthew Dovichak.
Staying with the play, a rebound opportunity came out
to Owens, who netted his third of the season.
On the power play in the second period, a point shot
from Charles Goll was redirected on its path to the net
a few times. Pinballing around in pairs of skates at the
mouth of the goal, Tyler Fairbairn was able to get a
handle on it, cutting the Hurricane lead to 3-2.
Where we got in trouble today was in the funda-
mental things: we didnt get pucks past the first guy,
we didnt get pucks in deep at critical times and we
lost track of players when they got behind our de-
fence, said Klemmensen.
Terik Parascak netted the winner in the third after
Fairbairn hauled him down on a breakaway. He was
rewarded with a penalty shot and made no mistake,
beating Dovichak glove side.
Another point shot fluttered through Dovichaks
body midway through the third, as the Hurricanes ap-
peared to enter cruise control.
With under two minutes remaining, Goll finished off
a very difficult two-on-two rush with Fairbairn, as he
was able to get to the outside of the defender and poke
his stick out enough to deflect his captains pass into Wheatland Braves forward Charles Goll tried to avoid a poke check

Kings stunned by lowly Lightning at home

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

A brotherly connection couldnt el-

evate the Strathmore Wheatland Kings
to victory at home Oct. 14 against the
Stettler Lightning.
The Kings turned what looked to be
an easy win for the pickings into a 4-2
defeat at the Strathmore Family Centre.
While the coarse voice of bench boss
Shadoe Stoodley reverberated through
the concrete walls and into the hall-
ways and players exited the arena with
their heads bowed, one family was able
to salvage the evening event.
For the first time in their lives, Hayden
and Garret Vander Ploeg shared the
same ice and same uniform.
I would always watch him growing
up; we never played on the same hock-
ey team, just baseball, said Garret, who
is three years younger than Hayden
and two inches shorter. Its pretty cool
watching him out there now from the
ice and the bench. I would say we are
pretty in sync; we get dressed the same
way, he knows where I am out there
and I always know where he is.

HCC Hawks push provincial champs to the brink, but fall short
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
On paper, the winless Holy Cross Col-
legiate Hawks looked doomed when
the defending Alberta 6 Man provincial
champions rolled into town.
But the opposite occurred, as the
Hawks were within 10 points late in the
fourth, eventually falling 30-21 Oct. 12
to the St. Josephs Collegiate Crusaders.
If there was ever a loss to feel good
about, it was this game, said Michael
Annicchiarico, Hawks head coach.
They are the defending champs and
beat us pretty handily last year. I was
really pleased with the way we battled
and I dont think they were expecting a
good fight from us.
Annicchiarico was putting it lightly;
the Crusaders crushed the Hawks 70-0
last October.
They played really well today. We
knew Jayden (Hendricks) was the star
of their team so we tried to neutralize
him the best we could, said Steven Ples,
Crusaders head coach. Give them cred-
it; they stopped our ground game and
gave us a really tough contest.
By now, Hendricks is a marked man,
whether he is lined up in the backfield
or stationed out wide.
The Crusaders were jamming the line,
not wanting Hendricks to run wild and
daring the Hawks to throw.
Hawks signal caller Tanner Holling-
sworth took to the skies more than he
has at any point this season.
With the Hawks trailing 16-0 in the
second quarter, Hollingsworth connect-
ed with Chase Christian on a 57-yard
catch and run, scoring the first touch-
down in two weeks.
Tanner looked great out there. I
thought he threw the ball well, said
Annicchiarico. We had too many easy
drops tonight that could have resulted
in touchdowns that really could have
swung this game.
With Hendricks under close scrutiny
from the Crusaders defence, rookie
Ryan Orford stepped up and carried the
ball excellently as the backup tailback,
and even snagged a couple passes from
Hollingsworth to pick up first downs in
the first half.
The Crusaders two-headed run game
of Edgar Reyes and Loic Sona wore the
Hawks down in the second half, putting
the game out of reach until Hendricks
picked up a pair of touchdowns in the
fourth to get within nine.
Whether the Hawks lost by nine or 70,
it still means the same thing in the win-
loss column, with the loss column look-
ing less than ideal at the moment.
With three games remaining, the pres-
sure is sort of on the Hawks if they
are to make the B side playoffs for the
second straight year.
The league has yet to announce how
many teams will reach the postseason
this year.
Last year, the top four from each divi-
sion reached the A side playoffs, with
the fifth and sixth seeds playing on the
B side. The bottom two teams did not
qualify for postseason action.
Annicchiarico still hasnt heard from
the league if they will be using the same
format as last year or if they will change
it up and allow every team to participate
in the playoffs.
Either way, a win wouldnt hurt.
Thats what the Hawks will look to do
Oct. 20 when they travel to Camrose to
battle with the Our Lady of Mount Pleas-
ant Catholic School Royals (2-0).
We beat Camrose last year and we
dont expect them to be as strong as St. Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks running back Ryan
Joes was, said Annicchiarico. They are Orford looks to shed a tackle against the St.

ing on the other side of the ball and his fly-
ing tackle broke up a potential passing play.
Slow to get up, Jensen was grabbing at his
right leg and walked with a considerable
limp for the next quarter.
He never missed a snap, as Hargrove de-
scribed his injury as a minor stinger, which
he received from making that tackle and
having a Mohawk receiver roll up on him.
A conduct penalty on the Mohawks cut the
Spartans distance to goal in half, when Har-
grove called for a pitch-option to the right
for Jensen.
Jensen took the snap, rolled out, didnt
see anything open, so he bolted for the right
pylon. Diving, he stretched out as far as he
could, breaking the plane of the end zone, as
he sailed out of bounds.
This game was a testament to the work
we put in day in, day out this season, said
Hargrove. We battled a lot every day in
practice and dealt through some injuries. All
adversity we faced was reflected in that last
quarter.
There were still seven seconds on the
clock as the Spartans kicked deep to Zach
Campbell, who already registered a pair of
touchdowns on the evening.
Campbell looked to peel up the right side-
line, but was swarmed by a series of Spar-
tans, drilling him out of bounds as the final
buzzer sounded.
The crowd went nuts. The players cele-
brated like they had won the Super Bowl,
realizing the magnitude of the win and took
a team photo beneath the scoreboard.
The Rangeland Football League playoffs
began Oct. 17, when the Spartans hosted the
McCoy High School Colts (result not avail-
able as of press time). Back in week 2, the
Spartans clowned the Colts 49-0 in Medicine
Hat.
Should the Spartans eclipse the Colts, they
would travel to Medicine Hat for a rematch
with the Mohawks Oct. 20, as they look to Reid Jensen of the Strathmore Spartans fights for extra yards against the Medicine Hat
reach provincials for the second straight High School Mohawks Oct. 13 at the Strathmore High School Field.
