Glenn Randall broke down in tears and buried his face
in his hands moments before telling the 12-member jury he
never planned to murder his ex-girlfriend Brenda Walker
but takes responsibility for her death.
Entering the second week of the three-week-long first de-
gree-murder trial, a groomed and well-composed Randall
took the stand to recall the few details he remembered of
events leading up to the fatal shooting of Walker on Jan. 6,
2015.
Randall claimed he has no memory of killing Walker,
his actions afterwards, or being questioned by Strathmore
RCMP from 11:40 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Walker and Randall dated for nine months until the rela-
tionship ended in December 2014 – weeks before her death
– due to the strain of Randall’s continued friendship with his
ex-girlfriend Laura Hicks.
Randall told the jury that on the day before the murder,
he had returned home from the funeral of a friend’s wife,
and was upset and drank several glasses of red wine. Text
messages revealed he corresponded with Walker until 11:22
p.m. on Jan. 5, messaging her to stay away from him, that
he was not a good person and not the person she thought
he was.
The 56-year-old said the last thing he remembered that
night was snuggling his cat Minimix and grabbing his med-
icine bag. After that, Randall said the next memory he has
is fuelling up at a Bassano gas station hours after the inci-
dent, although he can’t remember whether he interacted
with staff or how he paid; talking on the phone to both his
sisters but not able to recall context; and then talking with
a member of the RCMP, a man whose voice he described as
sounding “angelic.”
While Randall remained calm and composed throughout
his testimony, he choked back tears and reached for tissues
when a 911 call revealed the last moments of Walker’s life.
Walker had managed to call the emergency dispatch, stat-
ing an armed man was in her house. The audio captured
her screams before several gunshots rang out and Randall’s
voice could be heard saying “I love you, I’m sorry.” A low,
haunting moan then filled the courtroom as the recording
captured Randall wailing and moaning shortly after. The for-
mer Strathmore resident identified himself as the one mak- Pumpkin patch pursuit!

“I love you, I’m sorry” – 911 call reveals Randall’s last words
before killing ex-girlfriend
Continued from Page 1
“Brenda was beautiful inside and out,
she was wonderful, caring and compas-
sionate,” he said. “We loved each other.
She was my friend. I never wanted her
gone. I can’t understand it, I don’t know
how this happened. It just doesn’t make
sense.”
The jury also heard about Randall’s
former relationship with Hicks and
his involvement with her children and
grandchildren, his financial woes and
failed business, and the love for his
mother and a trip to New Brunswick
Walker paid for, for him to be able to
say his goodbyes before his mother
passed away.
Randall was also questioned about his
interactions with Walker after their split,
including his encounter with her at the
King Eddy Pub on Jan. 2 where she was
seen with Trinity Rossignol, who testi-
fied last week, and with whom she left
the bar. While Randall assumed the two
left together he said he didn’t actually
see them leave together. Rossignol also
told court last week that he was not in a
romantic relationship with Walker.
“I felt sad and broken-hearted,” Ran-
dall told the court. “I still loved Brenda
and I never stopped loving her.”
At the time of Walker’s death, he was
also in possession of 13 firearms. Ran-
dall started competition shooting in his
early 20s but only managed to make
it to the shooting range in Strathmore
approximately six times over a decade.
He owned three long guns and 10 hand-
guns. Walker died from multiple gun-
shot wounds to the head and torso.
The trial was expected to continue on
Wednesday, Oct. 31, with Bates and de-
fence lawyer Jennifer Ruttan calling the
final witness – a forensic toxicologist –
to testify on the effects of drugs and al-
cohol on the body and results from the
breathalyser test taken at the time (due
to Strathmore Times press deadlines,
Oct. 31 trial details were unavailable).
Randall suffered from multiple medi-
cal issues that landed him in the emer-
gency room several times in December
2014. He suffered from a bowel obstruc-
tion, bladder infections, sinus infections
and kidney stones. Additionally, no few-
er than 12 medications were seized from
his home ranging from over-the-counter
cold and pain medication to Codeine
Phosphate, Losec, Valium and Coversyl,
which addressed migraines, pain, blood
pressure, prostate issues, cholesterol
and stomach acid. Randall also stated
he took at least five of the drugs on a
regular basis.
Lawyers were expected to make their
closing arguments this week followed
by jury deliberations and a verdict.

Activity bus allows flexibility and participation 403-983-2121

Times Reporter Strathmore, AB Airdrie | Calgary

For the past two months, residents at
Wheatland Lodge have had more flexi-
bility and freedom in their social events
calendar, thanks to the arrival of a new
15-passenger activity bus.
The bus allows Wheatland Lodge res-
idents to plan more scheduled outings
for more people, and for last minute
social plans.
“It offers opportunities for our resi-
dents to participate in all levels of com-
munity life. We’re just starting our bus
trips and outings and the possibilities
are endless,” said Vickey Cook, chief
executive officer with Wheatland Hous-
ing Management Body (WHMB).
The project to raise funds to purchase
a social activity bus started just over
a year ago. Originally, the group was
looking at purchasing a used 15-pas-
senger vehicle. Due to tremendous sup-
port and donations, they reached their
goal and were able to purchase a new
bus quicker than expected.
Over $40,000 was raised through do-
nations in just under a year and WHMB
fronted the difference for the $70,000
bus.
The funds were raised through nu-
merous cash contributions, bake sales,
raffles on quilts residents had made
and much more.
“We raised over $40,000 in that short
(period) of time. The residents and ev-
erybody were so enthusiastic about it
and it was a really great project for us
to all work on together,” said Cook.
Previously, as the non-profit had no
other form of transportation, all medi-
cal and social outings required using

bers. The new social activity bus offers
room for 15 passengers and will be
available for planned and last-minute
social outings for residents. Wheatland
Lodge still plans on using the Handi-
Bus for medical appointments.
For now, the plan is for WHMB staff,
with their Class 4 driver’s licenses, to
drive residents around town. WHMB is
currently looking for more volunteers
with a Class 4 license and clean driving
abstract to drive residents to outings
outside of Strathmore’s town limits.
To date, residents have had opportu-
nity to go to a casino in Calgary and
have gone for lunch, among other out-
ings. Planned trips include a visit to
Kananaskis Country, a dinner theatre,
trips to see Christmas lights and to
Christmas markets.
“I want to reiterate that this is by no
means taking away from the Handi-
Bus,” said Cook. “This is a strictly social
activity bus, it’s not for appointments
or hospital visits; it’s strictly a social ac-

Council approves new bylaw
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Not all Strathmore town council members saw
eye to eye at a special council meeting on Oct. 24
when a majority vote passed the amended Smoking
Bylaw and Cannabis Consumption Bylaw.
Four out of five council members voted in favour
of passing regulations that provide enhanced en-
forcement and attention to technical issues related
to smoking and cannabis consumption in Strath-
more’s public spaces.
Council failed to give unanimous consent for
the Smoking Bylaw’s third reading at the regular
council meeting on Oct. 17 when Councillor Jason
Montgomery voted against the motion. As a result,
council voted to hold a special meeting last week
to bring the bylaws back for approval. Montgomery
voiced his concern with the municipal government’s
role, keeping new costs associated with cannabis to
a minimum – such as for enforcement – and restrict-
ing options of smoking locations. Montgomery vot-
ed against third and final reading for both bylaws.
“I philosophically believe that it is the govern-
ment’s role to protect people from each other and
not from themselves, especially in instances where
another person is not being harmed by those ac-
tions,” he said.
“While I do not personally think smoking tobacco
is a good decision, past attempts at blanket prohi-
bitions have taught us that if we are too strict and
do not give people a reasonable outlet for use of
alcohol, tobacco or the like, that we risk the ap-
pearance of unintended consequences that may be
worse than what we are trying to prevent.”
While legislation exists provincially at address-
ing smoking in public, Strathmore had no bylaw
in place regarding the current provincial smoking
prohibitions, especially with regards to the legaliza-
tion of cannabis.
The Smoking Bylaw states that no person is al-
lowed to smoke in a designated public place with
or without visible no smoking signs. Designated
public places include municipal buildings and 10
metres from their entrances or exits, public build-
ings and the area five metres from their entrances
or exits, public sidewalks and public pathways and
the area within 10 metres of a public sidewalk or
pathway, outdoor public events and places, and
public transportation vehicle and vehicle shelters.
No smoking is allowed within 10 metres of a

Boosting caps on farm loans
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Agriculture Financial Services Corporation
(AFSC) is increasing the amount of money it can
lend farmers, agriculture producers, and agri-food
entrepreneurs and businesses.
On Oct. 10, the Alberta government added an-
other $10 million to the $5 million loan limits that
can be granted by AFSC. The corporation is a pro-
vincial crown corporation that makes money avail-
able for agricultural uses.
“They just bumped the limit up to $15 million,
before we couldn’t go over the set limit,” said Rein-
hardt Webber, Strathmore AFSC manager.
The bump may help farmers and agribusiness
owners cash in on new pulse-related products and
business ideas touted to be the next boon to over-
seas export markets. The province hopes lifting the
cap will encourage growth and diversity in the ag-
ricultural industry.

“Unfortunately, bylaws are a necessity of society
because there are people who don’t pay attention
to the common rule of the right thing to do and not
all laws are built on the lowest common denomina-
tor unfortunately,” said Trent West, manager of pro-
tective services with the Town of Strathmore.
“The (Alberta) Tobacco (and Smoking Reduction)
Act was (implemented) in 2005, and at that point in
time, that was probably the time to start introduc-
ing the will of the day of council for tobacco reduc-
tion in the community.
“We are 13 years down the road and we’re in-
troducing some form of additional restrictions be-
yond what the provincial regulation prescribes. So
absolutely we have to have a really good education
campaign.”
With the approval of the Smoking Bylaw, council
was able to pass the Cannabis Consumption Bylaw
that states no person is allowed to smoke in public
places, workplaces, a vehicle in which a minor is
present, a public vehicle, within a prescribed dis-
tance from a doorway, window or air intake of a
public place or workplace.
Montgomery noted that despite the bylaws being
passed, he plans to monitor their value.
“I believe that the administration and my fellow
councillors are acting with good intentions, and
that they want the best for this community,” Mont-
gomery said. “I will, however, be bringing forward
a motion to monitor the amount of time and money
that is being spent towards enforcing these bylaws
and other related costs so that future councils can
view the effectiveness versus cost to our commu-
nity.”
With the passing of the Smoking Bylaw, town
administration will develop a comprehensive com-
munication strategy and permitting process for des-
ignated smoking areas.
covery is crucial to our plan. Increasing the lending
limit, or assisting agriculture producers, agribusi-
nesses and food processors to expand their opera-
tions, is another important step towards economic
growth, diversification and job creation,” said Oneil
Carlier, Alberta minister of agriculture and forestry,
in a news release.
While the province indicates that it will help
young farmers and new businesses to get capital,
Webber stated $15 million is a lot for young farm-
ers to commit to in a first-time loan, as the money
is not a grant and has to be repaid.
An alternative for younger farmers is the Next
Generation Loan Program, which is offered to ap-
plicants under the age of 40, or to those with less
than three years farming experience, giving them a
one per cent cut on their interest rate for loans of
up to $1 million.
There are also longer-term loans offered by AFSC
for a variety of farming and ranching needs. Visit
afsc.ca for more information.

Financial Literacy Month
November is Financial Literacy Month in
Canada and your BBB is sharing several tips
to help you become savvy with your money.
Whether your goal is to manage money and
debt wisely or save for the future, BBB offers
tips or a brighter financial future.

• Find out what you own, owe and spend. Keeping track can
show you where you can cut spending in order to allocate
money to debts.
• Don’t max out your credit card. The higher the owing
balance, the greater the impact on your score.
• Avoid lending companies that claim they can make your
debts disappear with promises of pennies on the dollar.
And remember, avoid those companies that request upfront
fees for debt relief services.
• Talk to a financial advisor. They can assess your situation and
provide a road map to better financial security.

Payday loan reporting shows substantial drop
in costs for borrowers
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Sometimes the cost of living hits us
right in the pocket. When that happens,
many people turn to “payday loan”
agencies for a quick solution until their
pay cheque comes in.
The Alberta government wanted to
know how many people used these
loans and set out a reporting system to
track their use. On Oct. 12, the prov-
ince stated in a news release that in
2017, about $285 million was loaned
by payday lenders to about 96,000 bor-
rowers – almost $30,000 per borrower.
The province’s An Act to End Preda-
tory Lending came into effect in No-
vember 2016. Costs for payday loan
borrowers dropped, due to measures
in the act, which deals with fixed fees,
contingency fees, hourly rates, percent-
age fees and value-added fees. By re-
ducing the cost of borrowing per $100,
from $23 to $15, the move saved bor-
rowers $10 million in borrowing fees.
“We know that life is better when it’s
more affordable. That’s why we took
swift action to protect borrowers, and
this report shows that action is work-
ing,” said Brian Malkinson, Minister of
Service Alberta, in the news release.
According to the 2016-17 report, Al-
berta has the lowest interest rates for
payday loans across Canada. Lenders
can lend each person a payday loan
of up to $1,500 that is paid back in 62

Local filmmaker sheds light on the meaning of listening
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
For years, the city of Red Deer has been rocked
with devastating rates of teen suicides in their
high schools – a topic local filmmaker and sto-
ryteller Wanda Reinholdt is bringing to the big
screen with the short film Are You Listening? A
Pathway to Empathy.
Reinholdt knew instantly the 35-minute narra-
tive documentary – a fictional story with real-life
documentary interviews – needed to focus on
listening when producer Rueben Tschetter ap-
proached her with the story.
The film has been broadcast for a year and a
half and used as a conversation starter and tool
in schools and prisons. It was shown at the Cen-
tral Alberta Film Festival in Red Deer, was chosen
for the Reel Recovery Festival in Los Angeles last
week and will be viewed in New York at the be-
ginning of November.
The story pulled on Reinholdt’s heartstrings, as
her life once depended on the listening skills of
those around her.
“I’m not afraid of this story, in fact listening
saved my life,” said Reinholdt of Reinholdt Pro-
ductions. “When I was growing up, mentors and
friends really listened to me and saw me for who
I was and took me under their wing. If it wasn’t
for that, I’m not sure I’d be around anymore. I was
really discouraged – deeply discouraged at school
– I was bullied at school and at home I didn’t feel
heard either.”
In 2015, when six teenagers ended their lives,
Red Deer responded positively and invoked
change. Through collaboration with municipal
government and the Alberta government, the com-
munity was able to implement a program called
Empathy, a peer-to-peer program that taught stu-
dents to listen and talk with each other. The pro-
gram also enlisted the skills of trained facilitators,
and had psychologists and psychiatrists work
with counsellors and teachers in schools to bring
the program to fruition.
Tschetter, a Red Deer documentary filmmaker
and producer of Are You Listening? has followed
the events for years. He’s heard about the suicide

crisis since 2003 and had already started thinking
about creating a documentary when he discov-
ered the Empathy program had been scrapped by
the NDP government, after a year of showing suc-
cessful results. He was met with pushback from
school boards and government representatives in
his efforts to create a documentary, so he reached
out to Reinholdt who was willing to take on the
project.
“It hasn’t gotten any better, I can tell you that;
but the programs are slowly being put into place
and I couldn’t tell it in a traditional documentary
sense because I kept having doors slammed in
my face. I had meetings with school divisions and
government leaders and they didn’t want to have
anything to do with it,” Tschetter said.
“There’s a stigma around it. Professionals and
community leaders have no clue what to do about
it. That was the case then and I think it’s still the
case now. Our western healthcare system is just
not coping with it, science is just not capable of
dealing with it and so we’re at a loss as a society
about what to do.
“The story is very much about what happened
here in Red Deer, but I don’t think that the issue
that it tries to tackle is a local issue, I think it’s a
human issue.”
The project is supported by interviews from sev-
eral people, including a local priest, psychiatrists,
a professional working in suicide prevention, a
member of the legislative assembly, community
members and a father of one of the deceased. The
interviews reinforce the narrative of fictional char-
acter Josie, a mental health advocate who encoun-
ters various scenarios where she models listening.
“It’s an important topic and I think it’s impor-
tant that we learn to listen from one another and
help one another,” said Reinholdt. “Often people
aren’t looking for an answer, they’re looking for
comfort. They’re asking whether they’re crazy or
not. I just want people to know they’re human
and it’s OK to be hurting and we can help one
another.”

available on Telus Optik TV, Telus Optik YouTube
and on Reinholdt’s YouTube channel, as well as
on DVDs that are travelling to the different film

Provincial money for urban victim services

SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
New provincial funding was an-
nounced on Oct. 19 for victim service
agencies in large regional centres,
designated to help people affected by
criminal and violent acts.
However, no mention was made for
funding of rural area victim services.
The increase in available funding will
go towards police-based victim services
units, support for domestic violence
survivors, help for victims in court, re-
storative justice initiatives and expand-
ing outreach services for Indigenous
victims.
“Albertans affected by crime deserve
to feel supported and respected during
an incredibly difficult time. These funds

The Strathmore Wheatland Kings opened the weekend with a solid 3-2 win over the Medicine Hat Cubs
on Oct. 27 at the Strathmore Family Centre. It was the first of three games in four days for the local junior-
B club squad.
Kings take two of three
MARIO PRUSINA
Times Editor
Despite having a four-game winning
streak snapped by the top team in the
southern division, the Strathmore Wheat-
land Kings continue to make strides in
the Heritage Junior Hockey League.
The local junior-B team recently com-
pleted three games in four days, earning
four out of possible six points – which
included sweeping a home-and-home se-
ries with the Medicine Hat Cubs.
“We were able to piece four games to-
gether, which was nice,” said Assistant
Coach Chris Williams. “We just had the
mentality of keeping it simple. Sticking
to our game, which is getting pucks low,
getting pucks deep… not giving teams
time and space. We were doing a really
good job of that.”
The Kings opened the opened the
weekend with a 3-2 home ice win over
Medicine Hat on Oct. 27.
Hayden Vander Ploeg connected a feed
from his brother Garret Vander Ploeg
and Kody Hammond for a first period
power play goal. The Kings carried that
lead until 17:15 of the second period,
when Medicine Hat tied the game at one.
However, the proverbial “TSN Turning
Point” occurred late in the second period
– with one second left, in fact – giving
the Kings a lead they would not give up.
Adrian Kusu fired a goal after connecting
on a feed from Rylee Hebert and Bailey
Filkohazy.
Robert Butterwick supplied the in-
surance tally 4:49 into the third period,
when he converted a play from Brenden
Moore and Thomas Tyson.
The Kings then travelled to Medi-
cine Hat the following day where they

stormed out to a three-goal first period
lead en route to a 5-2 win.
Cole Busslinger, Tyler Wirth and Kusu
each scored in the first period, before
Garret Vander Ploeg tallied late in the
second period.
The Kings added to their lead early in
the third period, when Filkohazy capped
the Kings scoring, giving them a 5-0 lead.
The Cubs would tally twice in the third,
but it wasn’t enough, as the Kings swept
the home-and-home series.
The locals completed the three games
in four days with a date against the
southern division-leading Okotoks Bi-
sons on Oct. 30.
After falling behind early, Isaac Benoit
scored twice in under a minute to give
the Kings a 2-1 lead. The Bisons kept up
the pressure, eventually tying the game.
Okotoks scored 11 seconds into the
second period, before the Kings settled
into playing their brand of hockey. Un-
fortunately the teams traded goals, in-
cluding Cole Busslinger’s tally 7:46 into
the third.
Despite the solid effort, the Kings fell
to 7-5-1 on the season.
“That first period really damaged us; I
think we let in two goals that could have
been prevented for sure,” said Williams.
“Obviously it didn’t work out for us in
the end, but I thought we pieced togeth-
er a solid 40 minutes with the last two
periods there, but we just couldn’t find
the back of the net. We had our chances
and we just weren’t executing, so it’s def-
initely a stinger.”
The Kings will now prepare to face an-
other stiff test, when they host the 8-1-2
Coaldale Copperheads on Sunday, Nov. 4
(2 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre
in their lone game of the week.

Spartans zone qualifier position

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
Following a year of ups and downs,
the Strathmore High School Spartans
football team have shed their jerseys
for the last time this season; and for
16 graduating team members, it is
the last as they leave that football
field for good.
Finishing third in their league with
a 3-5 record in an extremely com-
petitive league is no easy feat. But
at the end of the day, the wind was
too strong and the number of inter-
ceptions was too high for the local
Spartans team to carry on to the
quarter-finals in search of a provin-
cials dream.
“There were a couple big plays that
really shifted the momentum of the
game … overall our defence played
fairly well, our offence ran the ball
quite a bit – for over 200 yards rush-
ing – but we struggled throwing the
ball; we threw five interceptions in
the game which sort of led to our
outcome,” said Spartans Head Coach
Travis Gorski.
Following the loss of 14 points dur-
ing the last two minutes of the sec-
ond quarter, the Spartans lost 22-6
with the help of a sustained 30 kilo-
metre per hour wind that inhibited
either team from making many suc-
cessful throws. The Spartans defence
was able, however, to procure three
interceptions against Rundle Col-
lege at the provincial play-in game in
Okotoks on Oct. 27.
“We played an extremely competi-
tive league, so to finish third in the
league just shows the boys had a suc-
cessful season overall,” said Gorski
who added throughout the year there
were many “special individual plays
by a lot of players that really stuck

out throughout the season” and that
“was definitely a highlight to watch.”
The 34-member team will be losing
16 teammates to graduation this year.
Gorski said he is looking forward
to training a new batch of Grade 9
students and developing the current
Grade 10 and 11 players.
With football season over, the
coaching staff is encouraging stu-
dents to play multiple sports. Many
of the players will be heading into
basketball season as well as working
on other sports. The school is try-
ing to secure some turf time at the
new fieldhouse once it opens, and
coaches are also floating around the
idea of starting a seven-on-seven flag
football league in the spring where
athletes can play games against each
other twice a week.
“Right now, there is going to be a
little stage of recovery because foot-
ball is such a large commitment,”
said Gorski.
The Spartans walked away from
the league with several large awards,
including five league all stars: Makel
Holloway, Dustin Thiessen, Nathan
Cayoutette, Noah Desjardins and
Scott Dumur. Kevin Agboro won
running back of the year and Dustin
Thiessen won the commissioners
award, having combined academic
excellence as well as field perfor-
mance.
“It was a season of ups and downs.
We had one injury on the team all
year and it was a key injury – we
lost our quarterback to a broken col-
larbone – but it was awesome how
so many of the kids stepped in and
played different positions that they
may have not been asked,” said Gor-
ski. “We faced a lot of adversity this
year, but we definitely came through
it.”

The Strathmore Community Football Associa-
tion (SCFA) peewee Badgers did something no
other team has done this season – they scored
points against the Lacombe Explosion.
Squaring off in the Tier 1 finals, the Badgers
faced the Explosion, an undefeated team that al-
lowed zero points against all season.
The locals showed no quit in the difficult game
as they managed 10 points for.
“They beat us 60-10; having said that, this is a
team that had nobody score on them all season.
So we actually got points on the board against
them; we actually fought back,” said Badgers
head coach Doug Thiessen. “The (Lacombe)
kids’ head coach actually came up to me after
the game and complimented me on the fact that
our kids didn’t quit, they kept going, they kept
trying to win, they kept trying to make the plays.
They never stopped until the game was over. He
said that he was quite impressed with the whole
character of the team; that even when they were
down, they just kept fighting back. So that’s a
pretty big compliment.”
The game was looking like any other the Ex-
plosion played this season, as they were up 42-0
at the half. However, the Badgers ended the Ex-
plosion’s perfect season by scoring 10 points in
the second half.
“We did something nobody else did, we found
a way to score on them,” said Theissen. “The
kids didn’t quit, the kids played well, that’s all
I can ask of them. I was super proud to coach
them this year.”
BATTLING FOR BRONZE
The SCFA bantam Badgers will battle for the
Central Football League bronze medal after fall-
ing to top-ranked Notre Dame Oct. 27 in Red
Deer.
Despite a solid effort from the local football
team, Notre Dame remained undefeated on the
season.
“Tough game, the kids played awesome. It was
a tough battle. I couldn’t be any prouder of my
kids and how they played,” said Badger coach
Greg Zaugg. “Notre Dame was the top-ranked
team in the league and they came out hard, they
hit hard, they played hard the whole game and
my guys didn’t let up.
“They gave us everything they had, and they
left it all out on the field. They gave Notre Dame
a beating, but unfortunately we just couldn’t

Obituary
MOCKFORD,
Christopher Clifton
Coventry
April 28, 1974
– October 27, 2018
Christopher passed away suddenly on October 27,
2018. He is survived by his wife and best friend Wen-
dy; daughter Isabella; mother Cathy Stewart; father
Dennis Mockford (Edie); siblings Heather Tyre (Jock),
Tammara Whelon (Dave), and Trevor Whelon; step-
mother Gail; his Grandmother Bea Mockford; his two
dogs Cocoa and Bear and his cats; his loving in-laws;
and very large extended family.
Christopher was a hard worker who took pride in
caring for his family and loved them endlessly. When
he was younger he played lacrosse and hockey and
loved Metallica and playing pool with his friends. As
a man he was low key and kind, he spoke little but
was heard for his passion for all things right. He loved
outdoors, archery, his classic truck, and especially his

MARIO PRUSINA
Times Editor
The Wheatland Warriors improved to 6-2-1 on the season
after a pair of shutout victories in a home-and-home with the
Taber Golden Suns.
The local double-A bantam team defeated the Suns 6-0 on
Oct. 27 at the Strathmore Family Centre, before travelling to
Taber the following day – hammering the Suns 11-0.
Philip Raycroft scored twice while Tate Yule added a goal
and two assists to open the weekend on home ice. Joshua
Alberda and Caeden Lomenda each added a goal and an as-
sist, while Bradon Forget also tallied for the Warriors, who
are currently in first place in the south division. Matthew
Dovichak made nine saves to earn the shutout.
The Warriors travelled to Taber the following day, where
Cole Grant and Trey Kam each scored twice and added
one assist en route to the massive win. Brandon McGilli-
vray scored once and added three assists, while Lomenda
scored twice. Dustin Holm added a goal and an assist, while
Yule, Alberda and Raycroft also scored for the Warriors. Ry-
der Many Grey Horses added four assists and Parker Forrest
made 10 saves to earn the shutout.
The Warriors will now host the Foothills Bisons on Nov. 2
(7:30 p.m.) at the Hussar Arena, before heading to Okotoks
the following day (5:15 p.m.) for a match with the Oilers.

TOUGH WEEKEND
The Wheatland Braves six-game winning streak was
snapped with a 4-4 tie on the road in Medicine Hat on Oct.
27.
Colton Gabe, Tate Hanson, Trip Jensen and Conner Radke
scored for the local double-A peewee team, while Kyle Mc-
Donough and Luc Trevors each added a pair of assists in the
draw.
Unfortunately, the Braves bid for points in eight straight

Brock Keer and Radke each had a goal and an assist in
the loss, while McDonough, Trevors and Pheonix Flett each
