Recognizing
farmers and
ranchers
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
Local Conservative MP Martin Shields
has introduced a motion to recognize en-
vironmental stewardship of ranchers and
farmers across Canada
Shields introduced Motion M-108 on
May 29 in the House of Commons.
For them to be recognized as conser-
vation and stewards I think it goes a long
way to recognizing what farmers and
ranchers do, said Shields. They dont
wake up in the morning thinking about
screwing up their land.
Shields is the sole author of Motion
M-108; he had it vetted by the Conserv-
ative Party before submitting it to the
house. Motion M-108 not only calls upon
farmers and ranchers to be recognized as
stewards of the land but to encourage the
government to support conservation ef-
forts by the farming community.
Shields said this is a new idea that
hasnt been done before. Shields pointed
to no-till practices as a way farmers have
softened their environmental impact. Ac-
cording to information on Shields web-
site, farmers and ranchers have been
asked to increase production while de-
creasing their carbon foot print.
Shields is a member of the House of
Commons Standing Committee on the
Environment and Sustainable Develop-
ment. This committee recently looked at
a study about protected spaces, which in-
cludes parks but not farms.
Shields said Motion M-108 has received
all-party support, which is rare in the
world of politics, as well as support from
organizations such as Ducks Unlimited.
I think they believe its the right thing
to do, said Shields.
Not every MP gets to put forward a Mo-
Flying High!
tion in each government. The MPs have a Expressions the Dance Gallery performed at the Strathmore High School (SHS) theatre on June
draw and Shields drew number 63 to ta- 9 to a full crowd. The act featured individual and group dances with ropes, rings, and swings for
the aerial performance. Dancers age ranged from 7-14. Im very proud of the kids, said Kate Van
ble Motion M-108. Shields estimated that
Kruyssen, the dance instructor from the gallery. That they even get to get on stage and to have
half the MPs wont get to table anything.
the bravery to do that is very impressive. Profits from the show went to the SHS dance program.
I feel fortunate that I was able to do
it, said Shields. Brady Grove Photo

County can now issue

fireworks permits
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter

An amended bylaw now allows Wheat-
land County to issue fireworks permits.
Wheatland County council voted in ap-
proval of amending bylaw 2017-44, the
Fire Services Bylaw, during the June 6
regular council meeting.
The amended bylaw now allows the
opportunity for the county to issue per-

30%
mits for fireworks.

UP
Previous to the change in the Alberta
Fire Code and the Wheatland County by-
law, the county and its residents were
not allowed to issue commercial or fam-
ily level fireworks, or to sell, possess or

TO
set off fireworks in the municipality. In-
stead, the province was responsible for
issuing these types of permits.

OFF!
Ironically, there is a fireworks factory
in Wheatland County, but they are feder-
ally regulated and are only authorized to
create, store, ship and set off fireworks
through federal regulations.
Permits can be filled out online or at
the County office. There is no charge
for a fireworks permit and applications
should, based on staff availability and
approved conditions, be accepted and
processed within 24 hours.
Permit holders must include their dis-
trict or regional fire chief in their plans
and must notify them of their intent to
use fireworks before the permits can be
processed by the county office.
Most municipalities hope to light fire-

Fire at Bio-Can site Lampe Berger

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The RCMP is investigating a fire at
Bio-Can Ltd., which occurred June 5.
A neighbouring resident near the
compost facility observed a low-lying
dark smoke emitting from the facility
and called into Bio-Cans phone num-
ber to warn them. He was re-directed
to leave a message at Bio-Cans 24 hour
answering service but received no re-
sponse. From there, the resident called
the fire department to notify them about
the fire.
The fire department arrived on-site 14
minutes after the call was made and Bio-
Can personnel were on site soon after.
It is rumoured that county residents
observed the smoke and the fire for
nearly two-hours before a call was made
to the fire department.
Our emergency response plan (ERP)
was followed, our personnel were out
there within minutes, the fire depart-
ment was notified and our emergency
response plan process worked, said
Don Francis, chief operating officer
(COO) of Bio-Can. I think if there was
a hazard, fire officials would have taken
action during the event to protect the
public.
Francis said the timing and circum-
stances (of the fire) are very suspicious.
Currently the cause of the fire is un-
known.
In the past, there has been some fric-
tion-related smouldering and melting at
the site, but no large fires have occurred.
Neighbouring residents were most
concerned about the low-lying dark
smoke that quickly spread to the north-
east of the compost site.
During a meeting with Bio-Can repre-
sentatives and interested parties at the
June 6 regular Wheatland County coun-
cil meeting, neighbours of the Bio-Can
facility voiced their concern that none of
the families who lived near the compost
site were notified about the fire.
Judy Unsworth, fire and emergency
management coordinator with Wheat-
land County, and the regional fire chief
assured residents the fire at the Bio-Can
compost site was a small 10-foot fire
that did not have flames but was in-
stead just smouldering and melting, and
that it was quickly extinguished by the
fire department.
Unsworth also noted that although a
low-lying smoke was present, sulphur
smoke has to be very dense and individ-
uals need a more direct contact for it to
cause any harm and although residents
worries are not going unheeded, there
was little to no cause for concern.
(The smoke present) was probably
pretty diluted so the risk for the individ-
uals was very minimal, said Unsworth
adding that all burning elements will
have an off-gas and that sulfur dioxide
is the off-gas of a sulfur fire, however
it can dissipate into the air quickly if it
travels far from the fire source.
In the emergency response guide,
the minimum for a small spill (liquid
sulphur) is a 75 feet evacuation. The
closest residents to the Bio-Can site is
475 meters away so there was no need
for an evacuation.
Unsworth later stated that the proper
and safest way for storing sulfur is by
storing it on the ground and that the
ignition point for liquid sulphur is 232
degrees Celsius and driving over it or by
it should not ignite the sulphur.
However, one of Unsworths concerns
echoed that of the residents about the
fact that there is no sort of fan-out phone
list present in Bio-Cans Emergency Re-

Veronica Slemp wins Strathmore
Times Class Act Award
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
Veronica Slemp, 17, was presented
the 2017 Strathmore Times Class Act
Award on June 8 at the Strathmore
High School awards ceremony.
Slemp credited her love of music as a
major factor in her winning the award.
I dont know where I would be
without music because its so much of
who I am, said Slemp, who received
the award from teacher and Times col-
umnist Pat Fule. Im so lucky to re-
ceive this award that just recognizes all
the hard work that Ive put into it.
Slemps mother Jolene was surprised
that her daughter won the award be-
cause it wasnt a music specific award.
I know she excels in music but
this was something outside her com-
fort zone. Im very proud of her, said
Jolene.
Slemp also won the J.P. Bigras Me-
morial Award for excellence in music.
Slemp says she loves all music but if
she had to pick a favourite genre she
would pick alternative rock with Green
Day and Queen coming to mind for top
bands.
Slemp plays the saxophone, picking
it up about six years ago. However, she
said her main musical weapon is her
voice. Slemp sang in all of her elemen-
tary school productions, and in Grade 7
joined the Strathmore Childrens Choir.
The choir director actually ap-
proached me after I performed in the
Grade 6 talent show (at Wheatland El-
ementary) and asked me to join the
choir, said Slemp. Thats actually the
start of my journey into music.
Jolene agrees that was the moment
that her daughters musical path truly
began.
Slemp was first to point out that
winning this award wouldnt have
happened without the support of her
friends and family.
Slemp was born in Calgary but has
lived her entire life in Strathmore. After
high school, Slemp plans on attending
the University of Lethbridge to acquire
a double bachelor degree in education
and music.
Jolene isnt worried about her daugh-
ter moving away.
Its not far, she said. Shes respon-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Setting the record straight
To the Editor
As you may know, a letter was recently published
in some media outlets suggesting that I had a pecuni-
ary conflict of interest because I took part in county
council deliberations on the CRAZ Servicing request
to undertake air quality monitoring in and around the
Bio-can LLP and Enviro-can composting operation. I
supported that funding request.
The author of this letter suggested my pecuniary
conflict of interest arose from the fact that my mother
has an existing lease of the land with these compa-
nies. While I certainly do not and did not think that
was the case of this instance, I took this allegation
seriously as I must.
I have consulted with a senior lawyer who has 35
plus years of experience in this field. He does not see
Former Strathmore rodeo committee members speak up
To the Editor
(An open letter to our many rodeo fans from the
Former Strathmore Rodeo Committee)
After much deliberation and several articles in the
local papers we have decided to respond to the many
calls we have received as to what really happened.
On April 4, the Strathmore Ag Society President,
Dennis McNeil, along with his Vice President Kara
Burne and GM Herb McLane attended our Strathmore
Rodeo Committee meeting and presented us with
Dennis McNeil explained how the Ag society is los-
ing money and the rodeo weekend is to blame. They
shared their vision which included;
1. A decrease in prize money;
2. Removal of the Monday Finals;
3. A reduction in the number of contractors;
4. The removal of rodeo announcer Bob Tallman
and the sound technician;
5. As well as kicking the rodeo committee out of
their long-time camping area, etc. etc.
With these directors demands the Rodeo Committee
expressed to the Ag Society executive and GM that
this was not the best strategy or a viable solution for
the Heritage Days Weekend. We suggested and agreed
to a steering committee of stakeholders and business
people in the community being formed to create a
strategic plan moving forward and review the Ag So-
cieties expenses.
One week later, on April 11, this Board of Directors
wisdom was to turf our strategy and dissolve the pres-
ent Rodeo Committee and create their own commit-
tee. Their meeting ended at 9 p.m. and by 8 a.m. the
next morning this discreet group of professionals had
the news out on the streets and later that week sent
out an e-mail informing us of their decision. Com-
ments by McNeil and McLane made little to no sense
of financial sustainability or of improving the rodeo
and wagon program long-term, there was no strategic
plan but to cut back on the quality of the show. We do
not agree that taking a show that has grown to be one
of the Top 3 in Canada and has taken so many years
by countless volunteers backwards will better the Ag
Societies financial position.
What really happened is a group of six directors
with no integrity or concern for their actions and with
personal differences against some of the rodeo com-
mittee decided to exercise their power of voting and
dissolve the rodeo committee. It is not about a bigger
or better plan, they have yet to show us one. At the
time this letter was going to the papers they had al-
ready registered the rodeo with the same prize money
and rehired the announcer they wanted gone. This
only confirms their only motive was vengeance.
At a follow up meeting of our former Rodeo Com-
mittee we reviewed the financial documents of the Ag
any pecuniary conflict of interest arising from these
facts.
While that disposes of the issue which the author
of the letter has raised, I have reflected on the fact
that it is possible that any future dealings council has
with this matter may probably spur some people to
make the same accusation against me, however hol-
low that may be in fact. I dont want to be the source
of a sideshow in this matter, as that would not benefit
my ratepayers, the county or council. For that reason
alone, I have decided that it would be best for my
ratepayers, the county and council if in future I recuse
myself form any dealings with this situation.
Coun. Brenda Knight
Wheatland County
Society which are public information. It is our con-
sidered and professional opinion that the actions by
some of this current Board of Directors show they
have little to no knowledge of financial responsibility
or running a successful business. One of these six di-
rectors was the committee head of an event the West-
ern Classic for two years and after losing over $40,000
a year that event had to be cancelled. These direc-
tors have recently spent major dollars on non-revenue
generating buildings that are rarely used. With these
losses in the hundreds of thousands, capital projects
and improvements are placed on hold. The last three
to four years of operations indicate quite conclusive-
ly that the staff salary expenses have risen by over
$250,000 to well over a half million dollars annually!
Our office costs are way out of line and that we know
is these directors biggest challenge not the Heritage
Days Weekend activities. That is just the smoke screen
they created to satisfy their personal desires.
The office is basically support staff for our activities
and grounds management. Yes, we need one, but not
at such a ridiculous cost. There is no possible way this
Ag Society will ever see profits again until this huge
problem is corrected. No farmer or business person
would ever succeed if you paid your hired staff exces-
sively more than you bring in annually, just simple
common sense.
Our suggestion to these six directors is to put your
personal differences aside and focus on the positive
for this Ag Society and the Historic Heritage Days that
has made Strathmore the place to be every August
long weekend. These six directors will probably be
gone soon but the damage and disregard they have
created in our community will be permanent. The Ag
Society has had some great directors over the years,
we express our gratitude for their time, we know there
are a few directors on this board trying to make things
right but unfortunately they are outnumbered or re-
moved by these six. If there are people out there with
business skills, an interest to volunteer in the com-
munity and help out a struggling organization please
take out an Ag Society membership and get on board.
Finally, for the community it is sad to see over 60
volunteers walk away that were never afraid to roll up
their sleeves and work long hours to put on a show
you the fans so deserved and enjoyed. These volun-
teers gathered from around southern Alberta and took
holidays annually to come out and help. The major-
ity have volunteered from 30 to 40 years as well as
donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to ensure
the success of Heritage Days. For an organization that
struggles to attract volunteers and sponsors, not the
smartest decision.

Busy spring for Arrowwood 4-H
SHERRY MALMBERG
Arrowwood River Wranglers
The Arrowwood River Wranglers 4-H horse
club has been busy this spring. After all the crazy
weather last spring, we decided to get an early
start riding.
The end of February we started riding every
second Sunday at the Siksika Agriplex. By the
time the weather was nice enough to ride outside,
we had completed more rides then we got in all
spring last year.
Over spring break, we were lucky to have FCC
sponsor a jumping clinic by De Winton which
gave us all a great chance to try something differ-
ent. Although a little scary for both the horse and
rider at first, it turned out to be really fun.
That same week we held the Wheatland District
Horse Workshop at Arrowwood Hall; unfortunate-
ly, the turnout was not great but the day was ter-
rific. We had Dr. Kate Ford from Strathmore Vet
Clinic come and do a presentation on whether or
not to suture wounds and then she taught every-
one how to do sutures on a banana.
We had the Tandy leather kit and learned how
to do leather stamping while making leather nose
bands for a halter. We had ID stations, horse bowl,
horse catch phrase, lunch and sundaes. Im not
sure how we will top that next year!
In May, our members completed the 4-H level

PAT FULE
Fule for Thought
Ive been walking again now that my nerve dam-
aged feet seem to be healing. Its funny I go
on these walks for the fresh air and scenery, but I
find that before long, my head is down, Im chug-
ging along on this fast paced death march, and I
havent seen anything!
I was walking along Strathmore Lake Friday
night, and decided I better look up. Thats when I
finally stopped and took time to just look at Nature.
A mama duck was climbing up the rocky edge of
the lake, and her trail of ducklings was following.
One of the last guys was not able to clamber up at
all! He kept trying to waddle and climb, but kept
slipping back. Finally, he gave up, slid back into the
water, and waited for mama and the others to find
him! This sight really made me think. If Id kept
trudging along, I never would have seen this, and
anyway, that little duck reminded me of me on the
walk!
Sometimes life can be like the rocks that little
duck took on. I had a friend (I know youre shocked
I had one!) who was from Hamilton. He was tell-
ing me what happened to him when was walking
as a teen. He was strolling in downtown Hamilton,
wearing a dashing pea coat, hands in his pockets,
and minding his own business. He said, from out of
nowhere, a drunken guy hauled off and booted him
in the groin! Mike didnt even have time to get his
hands out of his pockets, and was rocked by this
kick! Now thats the first part of the story. Remem-
ber, his hands were still in his pockets! So, as he
crumpled to the sidewalk, he wasnt able to brace
for impact. Thats right, he fell forward smashing
his chin into the cement! Mike said the drunk never
said a word to him, he just shuffled off laughing.
Theres a new video thats gone viral of a lady
in a city, walking and talking on her cell phone.
Now you know, many of us are starting to rely on
cell phones so much, we lose track of the world
around us. She did! There was an open set of doors
to a stair way, and she walked right over the rail,
falling down the stairs! Two ladies stood stunned

We had five of our members go to 4-H on Pa-
rade June 1-4 in Calgary. We are very proud of
all of them especially Alyssa Tharle, Mya Ingra-
ham and Olivia McLean who all won high point
awards.
Mya Ingraham also competed in the 4-H on Pa-
rade Global 4-H Network Summit Competition.
Mya won a trip to Ottawa in July where over 600
people from all around the world will gather to
attend the Global 4-H Summit. Congratulations to
her!
It wont be long until our achievement day on
June 24 in Arrowwood. We would like everyone
to come out and watch the 4-H members from
Wheatland district show off their riding skills.
as she rolled down the flight, and I think she did
get hurt. Im sure this lady will think twice the next
time she walks and talks, but if you want some slap
stick (and you know I do!) check out woman
falls down open cellar! Its okay go check now
Ill wait.
So youre back, eh? Pretty good chuckle, wasnt
it? I know, we shouldnt laugh, but it was funny! A
couple of weeks ago, I was walking in Canmore. If
you walk along the river, and across the old train
engine bridge, you eventually go past a power
house to a set of wooden stairs built into a very
steep hill. This hill takes you up to the Spray Lakes
area, and I call the stairs: The stairs of death!
They are very steep, and there are many of them!
I was climbing (and crawling) up these, and paused
to rest about half way up. Thats when he went by.
Some guy, probably older than me, was walking
down the path next to the stairs, but he was walk-
ing backwards! Here I was, huffing and puffing
thinking that like Fred Sanford, I was goin to have
the big one, and this guy was effortlessly walking
backward down the hill! Now at one time, Canmore
was an old mining town that had a lot of left over
hippies. Im going to tell myself that this guy was
one of those, and thought he was going up that hill!
Hopefully, Strathmores going to get better weath-
er now. If you get a chance, check out the path-
way around Strathmore Lake. Its not paved all the
way around, but its quite pretty. Ive been using a
lot of music to ease the pain on my Death March-
es, and the best ones to help me get a fast-paced
rhythm are: Stuck in the Middle With You by Steal-
ers Wheel and appropriately enough, The Walker
by Fitz and the Tantrums. If you are one of my 22
readers, maybe you could recommend a walking
song that will help me melt away the blubber! Just
please, make sure its not a long song Ive got
ducks to watch!

County councillors accused of conflict of interest
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
A couple of Wheatland County coun-
cil members have gotten themselves
into some hot water pertaining to ques-
tions of conflict of interest when vot-
ing or speaking on behalf of commu-
nity associations during regular council
meetings.
Twice in the past month, two coun-
cillors been called out by some com-
munity residents who believe that ac-
tions the councillors have taken during
county council coincide with a conflict
of interest.
During the May 2 regular council
meeting, Coun. Alice Booth recused
herself from any discussion regarding
the allocation of money being granted
to organizations within Gleichen and
Carseland as part of the Community Re-
gional Infrastructure Services Program
(CRISP) funding.
Booth then spoke at the podium on
behalf of the Gleichen Community As-
sociation as the vice chair of the asso-
ciation, asking for council to allocate
funds to community groups that are
open and operational to the public,
while providing some information re-
garding different community groups.
Booth was unhappy with the recom-
mendation that the Gleichen and Dis-
trict Agricultural Society receives 80
Champion lambs

Grand Champion Market Lamb as purchaser

ucts (l) displays the champion banner and Tamera
Newell (r) holds a tropy. The wether lamb weighed
110 pounds and sold to Strathmore Motor Prod-
ucts for $5.70 per pound.

to Western Chev Drumheller for $4.80 per pound.

per cent of the CRISP funding while
the Gleichen hall board and Gleichen
Library only receive 10 per cent of the
funding each.
Booth was later informed that the
funding is not based on usage of each
building, but is based on the total
amount of repairs recommended by an
infrastructure audit, and the percentag-
es handed out are based on the amount
of repairs needed for each facility.
Coun. Ben Armstrong recommended
holding over the discussion until other
community groups were present to ar-
gue their case as it is unfair that Booth
could make her statements before oth-
er community groups knew what was
happening.
Council has to be aware when they
are making comments that it could af-
fect communities; it could pit one or-
ganization against another, said Arm-
strong.
Coun. Brenda Knight insisted that in
the future, groups must provide a plan
of operation to council before they can
receive any grant funding.
Around 15 Gleichen community
members attended the June 6 coun-
cil meeting to argue the Ag Societys
case, and to provide evidence and sup-
port about usage and operation of the
arena, contrary to any comments that
Booth had previously made about the
organization.
June 16, 2017 Strathmore TIMES Page 11
Should my previous comments of-
fend other organizations I apologize,
that was never my intent, said Booth,
who added that she was not looking
to step over anyone but to try to gain
equal distributions of the funds for
each organization.
One community member even called
for Booth to be reprimanded by council
for the damage that has been done,
before offering a suggestion to council.
Im aware that councillors are prob-
ably all involved with their respective
communities my recommendation is
not only that councillors should recuse
themselves, but that councillors should
not speak on behalf of community
groups, said Cara Sheppard, a resident
of Gleichen who has held many posi-
tions related to the Gleichen and Dis-
trict Agricultural Society over the years.
Also at the May 2 meeting, Wheatland
County council took a vote pertaining
to undertaking air quality monitoring
in and around the Bio-Can compost fa-
cility just south of Nightingale. Coun.
Brenda Knight voted in favour of air
quality tests being taken. Shortly after,
a letter to the editor was published in
some media outlets, calling out Knight
as having a pecuniary conflict of inter-
est that arose from the fact that her
mother has an existing lease of land
with the companies that are being test-
la ternative
dcraf te d
han
ed.
The author of the letter believed
Knight would be financially positive-
ly impacted by the act of Wheatland
County testing the air quality, as Knight
herself would then not need to pay for
tests.
After consulting with her own per-
sonal lawyer, Knight was informed
there is no pecuniary conflict of inter-
est arising from the issue.
Wheatland County council, however,
still decided to seek legal advice from
their own lawyer regarding conflict of
interest and how it pertains to all coun-
cillors.
I dont think council really realizes
what the implications of pecuniary in-
terest and conflict of interest are and
what the effects of it are if they follow
through with it, said Coun. Ben Arm-
strong. He added that he wanted to
receive advice from legal and to hear
a rundown of what pecuniary interest
and the legal implications are for coun-
cil if they dont recognize the situations
themselves and remove themselves
from the table if issues come up.
Knight has since removed herself
from any further situations involving
Bio-Can, stating that she does not want
to be a sideshow on the matter as it
would not benefit her ratepayers, the
county or council.

New app showcases
Strathmores history
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
ety (WDHS) announced a soft launch of
their new app On This Spot on June 9
at the Strathmore Legion to 150 people.
The app will allow users to look at
historical photographs of Strathmore
locations and compare them to what is
there now.
Its important for the upcoming gen-
erations to remember how Strathmore
came to be, said Rhonda Stockwell,
president of WDHS. If we dont start
now then well never get started.
The app isnt complete yet and will
have a full launch in late September with
more features such as users transposing
themselves into historical photos.
People in attendance were given a
sneak peek at the walking tours that
are featured in the app. Once the app is
open, users can see the different places
and topics to explore.
There are four walking tours of Strath-
more, each specializing in a specific as-
pect of the towns history. Once a tour
has been selected, a map opens up with
pins on all the different locations. Each
pin opens a menu with a picture and
a few paragraphs of text explaining the
history behind the location. Users can
switch the picture between past and
present.
The app has two other cities available
for walking tours: Vancouver with 11
and Esquimalt with two.
We wanted to take our time and do
it right, said Stockwell. Its not a very
common thing thats out there.
The app was developed by Andrew
Ferris for $10,000. WDHS funded this
project with money from the Legacy
Fund.
The WDHS is a two-year-old organi-
zation consisting of about 20 members.
It is hoped the app will provide more
historical information to the community.
Were trying to encompass the coun-
ty and bring the other communities on
board to join forces with us, said Stock-
well.
At the luncheon, the WDHS bestowed
an honorary membership into the orga-
nization to George Freeman. Freeman
was unable to be there so his son Larry
accepted for him.

First play in the new school
Wheatland Crossing Grades 4 to 6 students held three performances of their very first play in the new
Wheatland Crossing school on May 31 to June 1. One hundred and ten students were involved in the
making of The Grunch.
The bank was one of the most popular service providers during the proverty simulation on June 7.
However, many participants failed to get through the long line to deposit much needed funds.
Living on the edge
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
United Way Calgary, in partnership
with Strathmore Family and Community
Support Services (SFCSS) and Wheat-
land Family and Community Support
Services (WFCSS), hosted a Living on
the Edge poverty simulation on June 7
at the Strathmore Civic Centre.
Its a great way for you to immerse
yourself in what its like to live for
a month with limited resources and
means, and the frustration of trying to
access the service to get out of poverty,
said Karen Gallagher-Burt, team man-
ager for United Way Calgary.
For the simulation, participants were
given either the role of a service pro-
vider or a family member.
Service provider roles included pawn
broker, quick cash, food bank worker,
social service receptionist, teacher,
homeless shelter manager, utilities
worker, employment agent, community
agent, police officer and faith based as-
sistant.
Transportation passes were required
at each service provider in order for
participants to do anything. These were
highly sought-after commodities in the
simulation.
Participants were placed into a family
and given a role to play. Families ranged
from one to five people. The event was
broken up into weeks and weekends.
Each family was given about 10-15 min-
utes to try to pay all their bills and ac-
quire cash each week.
The weekends were shorter and
served as time for families to plan their
next moves. Each family had a house
chairs set in the middle of the room.
At first everyone started off having
fun and joking in the early weeks. But
once the third week started, people be-
gan to panic and get anxious. By the
third week some participants wouldnt
waste any time on the weekend talking
to the nosy reporter because they were
worried they wouldnt get everything
done.
The Fuentes family consisted of a
single mom and two teenaged boys,

played by three women: Nora Heighton,
Kelsie Wrath and Lauren Duel. The fam-
ily managed to hold onto their house
but struggled the entire time.
I was trying to sell things at the pawn
shop and he was being really hard on
me. He wasnt giving me any money for
anything. So I have $73 and rent is due
and Im really worried, said Heighton.

New beginning in Lakes of Muirfield

BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
The Lakes of Muirfield community at Lyalta is ready to turn
to a new page in its history.
Developers, residents and the press met at the Vanity
Homes show home in the Lakes of Muirfield on June 8 at 1
p.m. to the discuss the future of the housing development.
Every little thing that could have gone wrong has gone
wrong, said Jimmy Souza, a long-time resident who repre-
sented Lakes of Muirfield development at the press confer-
ence. This is really the start of Lakes of Muirfield.
Souza talked about some of the issues the development has
faced, from big issues like the world economic collapse in
2008, to small issues such as a lack of signs in the early days
and the contractor going bankrupt.
Souza praised Harbans and Himat Gill from Vanity Homes
for helping to reinvigorate the community. Souza sought
them out and introduced them to the area.
As soon as we turned in, instead of weeds we
saw lush greenery, a beautiful golf course, beauti-
ful homes, said Himat Gill. We were hooked.
Bill Maher from the Homesteads recently re-
ceived municipal government board level approval
for his development, which hasnt started building
yet. Maher was approved for 2,400 lots in total.
People want to live in an area just like this, said
Maher. In five years youre going to see a major
difference here.
Wheatland County councillors Brenda Knight
and Alice Booth were in attendance as well to
show their support for the community and get an
update on the development.
Im a big promoter of the community even Hamit Gill from Vanity Homes speaking at the press confer-
though, yes, theyve had some difficult situations, ence about the positive road forward for Lakes of Muirfield.

Review: West Side Story rocks
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
Strathmore High Schools Drama
20/30 and Dance 25/35 class rocked
the theatre at the school with West Side
Story on June 7.
The actors navigated the complex
script with precision and enthusiasm.
The theatre was packed with only a few
empty seats.
They knew it was their last show,
said Deanne Bertsch, the director and
teacher for the production. For them to
achieve this kind of challenging musical
is pretty amazing because there is a lot
of beginner singers.
If any mistakes were made, the audi-
ence was none the wiser. Each scene
flowed into the next and the dancing
amplified the story and helped the au-
dience view the characters in another
way. The dancing was the original cho-
reography.
The costumes made you feel like you
had fallen back into the 1950s. The set
was simple yet effective. A chain link
fence covered the back of the stage
with a basketball hoop hanging in the
middle.
West Side Story offered a new speak-
ing challenge for some of the actors:
accents. The story consists of two rival
gangs: one with New York accents and
the other with Puerto Rican.
Brooke Paiha played the lead female
role of Maria and had to maintain a
strong Puerto Rican accent through-
out the performance. Paiha excelled at
maintaining her character while acting
but also held her accent when she was
singing.
I do accents all the time. British, Aus-
tralian, Scottish, Irish, South African.
You name it and I can do it, said Pai-
ha. When I found out we were doing

with it I was so excited because that
wasnt one I had dabbled in.
Paiha had an impressive perfor-
mance. The crowd was silent as hearts
broke when Paiha cried when leading
male Tony, played by Jonathan Le May,
was killed. Paiha had the proper level
of sadness and anger mixed into one
emotional rollercoaster of a scene.
Conor Anderson, who played Riff, Jonathan Le May (l-r), Brooke Paiha, and Bran-
the leader of the Jets, had to maintain don Berry in the pivotal end scene where Tony is

Tough
tourney for
Spartans
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Last year, the Strathmore High
School Spartans cashed in on a last-
second try that propelled them into
the provincial final.
This year, a last-second try flipped
the script on the Spartans and
knocked them out of contention in
the consolation bracket.
Strathmore and Chestermere played
host to the girls Alberta Schools Ath-
letic Association rugby talent avail-
able, as the Spartans hunted down
their first provincial banner.
The Spartans opened the tourney
June 9 in a rematch of last years pro-
vincial final.
Last year, the Winston Churchill
High School Griffins thrashed the
Spartans in the gold medal game.
A much closer affair, the Spartans
hung with the defending champs the
best they could, but still lost 27-12 at
the Strathmore High School field.
I thought we played our best rug-
by of the year this weekend, said
Spartans head coach Jerry Flaws. If
you look at the score last year and
the (recent) score against Churchill,
you can tell that everyone on this
team has improved since last season.
Darcie Weir got the weekend off on
the right foot by blitzing down the
right sideline in front of the home-
town crowd, scoring an early try to
put the Spartans up 5-0 less than a
minute in.
The Griffins quickly answered
when Kaitlyn Rombough punched in
a try underneath threatening skies.
Nikki Carter was a handful for the
Spartans defence, as she stormed
down the field, stiff-arming any Spar-
tan defenders, finishing with three
tries.
In the second half, the Spartans
lost one of their key defenders when
Pacey Strangling Wolf rolled up on
a defender, injuring her lower body,
causing her to miss the remainder of
the weekend.
Regrouping a few hours after their
first-round loss, the Spartans needed

a win to advance to the consolation fi-
nal.
Its a privileged feeling being able said Flaws. It was a tough, closely con-
to reach provincials again and compete
against the top competition in the prov-
ince. We still had a great chance to lay it
all on the line, said graduating student
Autumn Desjardins, who will be attend-
ing the University of Calgary next fall for
education and science.
The Saint Marys Saints brought the
same desperation and game plan into
the Day 1 finale.
A heavy, deadlocked game broke open
midway through the first half when Kar-
la Tejeda-Iglesias broke a couple Spar-
tan tackles, running it to the house.
Raeanne Pettifer returned serve for
the Spartans, finishing off a lengthy pos-
session by sprinting into the end zone,
tying the game at five.
With minutes remaining in the half,
Danielle Morrison chased down Tejeda-
Iglesias on a breakaway, preventing the
easy try and sending teams into half
knotted at five.
In the later stages of the second half,
Saints fullback M.J. Ruiz was handed a
yellow card for an illegal, as the Spar-
tans looked to deliver the dagger.
Unfortunately, disaster struck in the
final seconds.
Down a defender, Holly Rodgers bust-
ed through Morrisons arms and bolted
to the end zone with 15 seconds remain-
ing.
It was a gut wrenching loss and tears
were inevitable afterwards, as the Saints
advanced following the 10-5 victory

I told them after the game to be
proud of the way we played that game,
tested match and thats sports, some-
times you come out on the wrong end
of those close ones.
The scene shifted to Utely Field in
Chestermere for the 7th place game
against the Lloydminster Barons.
Tanya Shpyth was the recipient of a
series of rucks, diving into the end zone
for the try.
Trailing 14-5 in the second half, the
Barons spent over five minutes on the
Spartans goal line, trying to punch one
in, but couldnt crack the wall.
Seizing the momentum from the de-
fensive stop, Desjardins caught the Bar-
ons napping, as she pulled off the quick
tap and go, diving into the end zone,
bringing the Spartans within a convert-
ed try.
The door was briefly open with less
than a minute remaining near the Bar-
ons end zone.
A ruck ensued, which the Spartans
lost. The Barons tried to punt the ball to
mid-field, but botched the kick. The ball
was bouncing near the mouth of the end
zone, but the Spartans couldnt get any
fingertips on it, as they fell 19-12.
Many more tears followed the final
game of the weekend. For 15 of the Spar-
tans, it will likely be the last time they
strap on the rugby gear in a meaningful
game again. After the game, Flaws and
assistant coach Keegan Fanning held a
lengthy meeting, thanking each graduat-
ing player for their hard work and effort
over the years.

Rain shortens
Reds weekend
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
A little bit of rain and wind couldnt
slow down the Strathmore bantam
Reds from getting the second stage
of their season off on the right foot.
The Reds traveled to Okotoks to
take on the Outlaws Orange June 10
at Riverside Community Park.
The bottom of the order went
5-for-7 with six RBIs in the convinc-
ing win.
Catcher Ray Warrack was a perfect
3-for-3 with two RBIs and a stolen
base, Ryerson Rushford belted a two-
RBI single and Carson Polet cashed
in a pair while going 1-for-3.
Shortstop Colby Tanton was pro-
ductive, crossing home plate two
times and picking up a pair of hits,
and starting pitcher Kaden Zarowny
helped out his own cause with two
hits, an RBI and a run scored in three
trips to the plate.
On the bump, Zarowny flirted with
the borders of the strike zone, fan-
ning seven batters but also walking
five. Despite the busy base paths, he
only allowed three earned runs.
Rain pushed back their game six
hours the following day, but they
managed to pull off the 15-10 victory
over the Innisfail Indians.
After scoring four runs in the first,
the offence found themselves in a rut
for the next three innings, until four
singles and a walk from Warrack,
Nolan Metzger, Aiden Cockx, Polet
and Zach Stagness reignited the of-
fence with four runs. The Reds closed
things out with four more in the sixth
and a pair of insurance runs in the
seventh.
Zarowny was the top dog offen-
sively, scoring three runs while going
5-for-5 with a double.
Only one game on the docket
for the Reds this weekend, as they
square off in a rematch with the Out-
laws June 16 at Conrad Field.
MIDGET REDS SHUT DOWN

Continued from Page 21
The Reds entered their first game
of the second tier to their season hav-
ing scored 10 runs or more, six out of
their last seven games. The Reds had
outscored the Outlaws 27-4 through
two games this season.
We didnt play well at all. We
werent focused and we didnt execute
we laid an egg, said Reds head
coach Shawn Wilson. We have han-
dled that team pretty well in the past,
but for some reason, our guys thought
we were going to come out and roll
them. Hopefully this is a lesson for us.
Mendiuk handled the Reds master-
fully, allowing only three hits and no
earned runs over five innings.
That is a pitcher we have beaten in
the past. We need to realize we wont
go undeafted this year, said Wilson.
For the Reds, only Garrett Hagel,
Scott Desserre and Ryan Orford were
able to punch hits through the infield.
Their defence didnt help them out,
either, as the Reds committed a sea-
son-high eight errors.
Okotoks was handed four runs cour-
tesy of the Reds mistakes in the first
three innings.
The Reds matchup later that evening
with the Camrose Cougars was post-
poned due to inclement weather and
will be made up on a later date.
The Reds looked to bounce back
against the Innisfail Indians June 13
at the Innisfail Pool Sports Field. They
travel to Edmonton to take on the
Leduc Giants and Lacombe Dodgers at
Michener Park June 17. They wrap up
the weekend June 19 with a tilt with
the Drayton Valley Giants at Hunting
Hills Diamond.

Spartans bogged down in B final
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
A miserable monsoon slowed down
the Strathmore High School Spartans
bid at a consolation trophy June 10 at
Utley Field in Chestermere.
The skies were threatening all week-
end, when finally freezing rain and
howling winds consumed the Prairies
when the Spartans hosted the St. Jo-
seph Catholic High School Celtics.
The rain bogged down the field, the
wind was unbearable and the ball ap-
peared to be lathered in butter, as the
Celtics blanked the Spartans 22-0.
These types of conditions arent fun
for either team, but they definitely fa-
voured a team like the Celtics, who are
bigger, stronger and more physical than
we are, said Spartans head coach Brad
Steele.
The Spartans struggled to get their
speedy fullbacks out in the open with
room to roam.
Scoreless at the half, the Spartans
held the Celtics at the line, pushing
back wave after wave. Unfortunately,
injuries took their toll in the second
half, as the Spartans were down to 12
players on the field, as the Celtics took
over once and for all.
The Spartans reached the consola-
tion after thwarting the Lloydminster
Composite High School Barons 34-26
in front of a rocking hometown crowd.
That was the highlight of the week-

that Ill never forget.
Simwamu got the Spartans going in

kick by the Barons. Running up the
right sideline, a quick fake-pass to his
left froze a trio of Baron defenders,
parting a gap to the end zone for the
opening try.
The Barons responded well, finding
openings out wide in the Spartans de-
fensive coverage, as Joey McLaughlan
gashed them for a pair of tries.
Jared Aschenbrenner pounded a try
in following a long possession into the
left corner of the end zone, tying the
game at 14.
Thats when Simwamus former foot-
ball teammate Isaac Wegner took over.
Wegner intercepted a pass and revert-

ways, running across the field, all the
way to the house. He carried out an-
other brilliant run in the second half,
chewing up more than half the field,
setting up another Spartans try.
On the following kick-off, Jonathan

steamrolling his way to pay dirt for the
try.

After losing in the semifinals five of the past six

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Observing from the stands this school year, two
players stood above the rest and were recognized
as the Holy Cross Collegiate athletes of the year
June 6.
The selections were layups, if you will, as a pair
of basketball stars brought home the hardware.
Grade 10 student Alex Nwoye was selected as
the senior male athlete of the year and Grade 12
student Darcie Weir was chosen as the senior fe-
male athlete of the year.
Nwoye led the charge for a young, rebuilding
Hawks core that didnt back down from any chal-
lenges this winter. He became the second Grade
10 athlete to win the award under athletic director
Josh Jalbert.
I really wasnt expecting it. I just thought one
of the older guys would get it, said Nwoye, who
was named top male junior athlete of the year last
season. This is probably the best award that Ive
won in sports.
On the hardwood, Nwoye led the point of at-
tack, carrying the ball up the court, getting team-
mates involved and taking over when needed. He
has the complete package, the craftiness to weave
his way to the rack, the range to hit from outside
and the ability to play above the rim.
When asked about a favourite moment from the
past season, the choice was easy.
Id have to say my first in-game dunk. We were
playing Oilfields and I got the ball out on a break
early in the game and I tried to throw it down. It
was a great feeling, said Nwoye. I wasnt sure if silver medal.
I would be able to dunk at the high school level
right away, playing against bigger, stronger, older
guys, but I was impressed that I was able to pull
it off.
His springy ability also paid dividends during
track season, where Nwoye placed second in the
province at high jump. Missing out on the gold
because of a tiebreaker, Nwoye could have been
staring another gold in the face if the conditions
were more favourable. His distance in the long
jump during the South Central Zone Champion-
ship would have held up for the provincial title if
he was able to duplicate the jump in the pouring
rain.

Alex is a really exciting athlete, a great person,
an outstanding teammate and leader, said Jalbert.
He is obviously an outstanding athlete that has
an amazing athletic ability.
Sharing the floor with Nwoye this winter was
Weir on the girls basketball team.
The Hawks struggled to receive consistent
shooting, but Weir was relentless in her effort in
attacking the rim.
As the starting point guard, Weir didnt let a poor
shooting night slow her down. If the shot wasnt
falling, she would put the ball on the ground and
barrel to the hoop, picking up contact along the
way.
I really pushed myself this year because it was
my final year of high school, said Weir. I wanted
to have a great year and Im proud that my hard
work paid off in the end.
HCCs size didnt allow them to carry a rugby
team this year, so Weir and a couple other HCC
students were allowed to play for the Strathmore
High School Spartans.
The intensity Weir brought on the court was
amplified on the pitch, where she was allowed
to play with her aggression and intensity cranked
up to 11.
Its not that common to see kids be named
MVP of teams across three different sports any-
more with all the specialization in sports nowa-
days, said Jalbert. Darcie has always been the
best athlete on whatever team she plays on.
Her favourite sport wasnt even connected with
HCC. On the ice, she was a member of the U19B
Strathmore Ice, who brought home the provincial
Its the sport she plans on pursuing in the fu-
ture, as she prepares for life at the University of
Lethbridge next fall, vying for a spot on the rin-
gette roster.
The top junior athletes of the year were also
named. Grade 9 student Zac Cull won the junior
male award, as Ocean MacLean was selected as
the top junior female.
Cull suited up for the football, basketball and
badminton teams, while MacLean was a member
of the volleyball, basketball and track teams.
Both kids work extremely hard, were com-
mitted to teams all year round and were the best
players on their team, said Jalbert.

OT heartbreak for wounded Venom

BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Junior B Tier
2 Venom lacrosse team lost in
overtime to the Medicine Hat
Sun Devils 8-7 June 11 at the
Strathmore Family Centre.
The boys played great, said
head coach Mike Olver. It went
both ways. One team would
have the advantage then the
other.
The Venom struggled in the
first period as they gave up
three goals. The start of the sec-
ond period didnt go much bet-
ter, with two goals by the Sun
Devils to make it 5-0.
Hope began to fade away for
the Venom until the Sun Dev-
ils took a four-minute checking
from behind penalty and then a
two-minute slash immediately
after. The Venom buried three
straight power play goals to give
themselves life. The Sun Devils
snuck one more in before the
period ended.
The Venom (2-7) came out
guns blazing in the third period
scoring two goals right away, but
the Sun Devils countered mak-
ing it 7-5. Olver called a time out
with 9:39 remaining to settle his
team down and give them a rest.
The Venom responded by scor-
ing another powerplay goal.
With 2:30 remaining, one of
the Venoms youngest players,
Quinn Johnson, 16, stepped
up to the plate. Johnson broke
through the Sun Devils defence
and sniped one past the Sun
Devils goalie to send the game
to overtime.
I got the ball and I looked
around and saw there was
only two or three guys in their
house, said Johnson. I saw an
opening and I thought, I can do
this.
Johnson was battling through
an ankle injury and only played
in the third period.
I thought this was the chance
to help my team out because I
feel like Ive been letting them
down because Ive been injured
for a while, said Johnson.
The Venom thought they
scored early in overtime but the
goal was called back because of
a crease violation. The Sun Dev-
ils capitalized on the confusion
and potted the winner moments
later on a quick rush.
According to Olver, the Venom
has suffered some bad luck this
season with injuries but also
with a couple of players moving
to other communities.
The team has been playing
really good. We are really short-
handed this year and lots of kids
with injuries, said Olver. To-
night was one of those games
where you did everything you
could do but we still lost.

Golden team
The Strathmore Venom novice 2 team claimed the gold medal at their home tournament Jun 2-4 at
the Strathmore Family Centre.
The Strathmore U18 Thunder poses for a picture following their gold medal win in St. Albert last week-
end. Below, the U14 Thunder head coach Jason Sauve stands with his two daughters, Ann (l), who
won gold with the U18 Thunder and Elle, won played for him with the U14s.
Thunder family wins gold
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Its a good thing that gold medals
are a little easier on your incisors than
silver medals, or the U18 Strathmore
Thunder might not have walked away
with the tournament win.
Reaching the final of the 20th St. Al-
bert Fastball Tournament, the Thunder
was facing a team that knocked them
off in a walk-off victory during the
round robin stage, the Calhoo Erins.
Thats when Thunder head coach
Darren Kennett lifted the pressure off
his team with a little bit of science.
I told them before the game that we
had to win gold, because when you bite
into silver, it will chip your teeth and
gold wont, recalled Kennett.
The Thunder went on to brush back
the Erins 10-8 on June 11 in the cham-
pionship, making up for a 9-8 loss in
the round robin.
The tourney final has given the Thun-
der fits in the past, as they have finished
second the past two seasons.
We showed a lot of resiliency this
weekend. We had to battle back a cou-
ple of times and we didnt lose control
when things didnt go our way, said
Kennett. It was really awesome to see
the girls finally win this one.
The Thunder opened the tourney
with a 1-1 tie against the hosts June 10.
Rain pushed the start of the tourney
back a day, forcing the Thunder to play
a triple-header on the 10th.
The tie was followed up by the heart-
breaking loss to the Erins. The Thun-
der entered must-win mode against
High Park from Edmonton. The girls
responded with a 9-3 victory, keeping
their hopes alive.
Emma ODonnell pulled a Danielle
Lawrie, pitching three complete games
in the round robin.
Then, faced with a win-and-youre-in
scenario, the Thunder leaned on Em-
mas sister, Anna, against the Okotoks
Fusion. Anna followed in her sisters
footsteps, throwing a complete game in

must go. Prices are low!!
the 15-3 thumping.
It turned out to be a double-gold
weekend for the Thunder program.
Competing in the same tournament,
the U14 Thunder also captured the
gold.
There is a bloodline and a friendship
that connects the two winning pro-
grams.
For each of the past three seasons,
Kennett has coached with Jason Sauve,
who now runs the U14 program. Hav-
ing a similar coaching style appeared to
pay off last weekend in St. Albert.
The connections dont end there. Ja-
sons oldest daughter, Ann, plays on the
U18 team for Kennett and his youngest
daughter, Elle, plays for his U14 team.
It was quite an exciting moment see-
ing them both win medals. It was a very
special weekend, said U14 Thunder
head coach Sauve.
Much like the older Thunder squad,
the U14 team got a chance to redeem
themselves against a team that con-
quered them earlier in the tourney.
Matched up against the Red Deer
Rage, the Thunder knocked off the
tourney top-seed 8-5.
