Council passes
taxi bylaw
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associated Editor

Disappointment and disbelief were at the fore-

front of last week’s council meeting, when the
Unsafe ice town faced an ultimatum from a local cab com-
pany which threatened to close up shop follow-
ing the addition of a mandatory first aid certifi-
cate requirement to the current taxi bylaw.
Page 15 Despite efforts by council and administration
to address liability concerns, discuss best prac-
tices, and lessen the financial burden by offering
in-house standard first aid training for a reduced
price of $50 while waiving the $50 driver permit
fee in 2018, Strathmore Shuttle owner and oper-
ator Brenda Jan remained steadfast in her stance
to close her doors and halt all cabs on Jan. 31.
While Jan was unable to provide council with a
reason why her business won’t accept the chang-
Local product enjoys es, other than her drivers don’t want to take the
final season first aid training, council was left crestfallen at
the response.
“I’m actually stunned that we’re in this situ-
ation,” said Mayor Pat Fule in addressing Jan.
“We’re just saying to have first aid would be safer
and better for the typical resident who takes a
ride with (the) cab driver. One of the things that
concerns me, it feels to me, as far as the taxi driv-
ers and the company is concerned, that the tail is
wagging the dog. What concerns me is why are

The issue of the requirement by taxi drivers
to hold a valid first aid certificate was brought
before council on Jan. 10, when administration

YOUR WEEKLY
HEALTH ADVICE
Gord Morck
Pharmacist
Capsule Comments
Pharmacists are sometimes asked what “non-drug”
alternatives are available to help people sleep better.
Often there isn’t much supporting research behind
different herbal remedies but toxicity is usually low
and are worth a try. Some of the better examples
are passionflower, chamomile, valerian and hops.
Results vary greatly from person to person.
As well, good sleep hygiene is important. Allot
enough time for sleep so you get at least 7-8 hours.
Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at
the same time. Create a good bedroom environment,
not too hot or cold and ensure it’s quiet and dark.
Have a winding down routine each evening. Drink
a cup of warm herbal tea or warm milk and avoid
stimulants like TV, vigorous exercise and computer
screens at least an hour before bedtime.
Sometimes, sleep is hampered by other problems
like restless legs or sleep apnea. See your doctor
about these and get them resolved. Also, try
to restrict consumption of foods and beverages
containing caffeine after supper. No coffee, black tea
or caffeine-containing soft drinks allowed. Avoid too
much alcohol in the evening because it can disrupt a
good night’s sleep.
What about hot milk before bed? Many people
remember their mothers giving this to them as
children to help them sleep. Again, there’s not a lot
of research on this one either but milk contains the
amino acid, tryptophan which can make you sleepy.
Other foods containing tryptophan include turkey,
bananas, cottage cheese and tofu. If you like a little
snack before bed, including these types of food may
help. Melatonin is another suggestion. Talk to your
pharmacist about its use.

Fun-filled February
heading to the library
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Every year the Strathmore Municipal
Library prides itself on offering over 350
programs – last year’s program hiatus not-
withstanding – and 2018 is no exception
as the year is already off to a strong start
with Fun-filled February on the horizon.
Special programs this February include
the return of fan-favourite Putt & Play – li-
brary mini-golf – beloved magician Chris-
topher Cool, fan-favourite Library Olym-
pics, and the much-anticipated Blind Date
with a Book month-long event, where
patrons choose from a selection of pre-
wrapped books.
Unlike previous years, however, staffing
limitations are resulting in the cancella-
tion of regular programming, such as Sto-
ry Time or Night Time Tales, during the
weeks when the special programs occur.
“A lot of our programs are ones that we
ran before, and we usually like to take the
programs that we know have been highly
successful and run them again because
we know people love them,” said Carmen
Erison, assistant director to library services
at the Strathmore Municipal Library. “We
heard positive reviews from our families,
so we try to run them as often as we can.
We’re trying to come up with some more
unique programs. It’s just a matter of what
do the kids love to do.”
High on that list is Minecraft Mania,
which was not offered at the temporary
location while Lambert Centre – the li-
brary’s current location – was undergoing
construction. Owing to a grant provided
by the United Way, the library was able to
secure eight laptops for a laptop lab, thus
bringing back the six-week in-demand
Minecraft Mania program. Although the
program was already competitive, being
able to offer the program during
library hours as opposed to
after school hours, there
are only eight spots
available instead of
the former 10 – one
spot per laptop. In
the past, registra-
tion only took a
few minutes to fill
the program, and
is available at the
library on Feb. 5
for children eight
years and older. The
library is also plan-
ning on offering Mine-
craft Mania for children
Fun-filled February
programs for
children
aged six and seven for a six-week period
following the Feb. 27 to April 10 program.
Now that the library is able to spread
out and expand its programs in the new
facility, staff is excited to bring back Putt &
Play, a nine-hole mini golf round through-
out the library. The course was donated
by Town of Strathmore Councillor Denise
Peterson, and will be accompanied by a
variety of games.
This year, magician Christopher Cool
will not only be returning for a free magic
show but will take a couple dozen lucky
kids behind the scenes and reveal some of
the tricks to his trade.
However, Erison is most excited for the
return of Library Olympics, which is keep-
ing with the Olympic spirit of the games
being held in PyeongChang at the same
time. The library will stream the events in
the program room while simultaneously
offering the library’s twist on the XXIII
Olympic Winter Games through games,
crafts and activities for all ages.
“We get into the Olympic spirit around
here and we love the Olympics,” said Eri-
son. “We’re presenting our own indoor and
warmer Olympic winter games. The idea is
to work around winter sports, so you will
see a variety of sports, a variety of crafts
revolving around the Olympics, and in the
past we’ve done things like Kleenex box
snowshoes and reading obstacle courses.”
The program has attracted roughly 100
participants in the past years. The Strath-
more Municipal Library is also busy wrap-
ping books for the fourth annual Blind
Date with a Book – just in time for Valen-
tine’s Day. The initiative was widely popu-
lar last year when 71 books were signed
out. The idea challenges residents to pick
a book blindly without the chance to judge
its cover until unwrapping it at home.
Friday Fun Film will also take place at
the library on Feb. 23. Erison em-

grams are free to attend,

Local disc golf club proposes new course for Strathmore
BRADY GROVE
Times Contributor
The Strathmore Disc Golf Club (SDGC) ap-
proached council on Jan. 24 to propose a new
pitch-and-putt course geared more towards fami-
lies and kids for a low financial cost.
“We have kids from six years old up to people
in their 70s playing the sport,” said Matt Byma,
president of the SDGC. “I think comparatively
putting something like this in is really low cost
for the town.”
The pitch-and-putt course would either be nine
or 18 holes. It would be comparable to a par-3 golf
course and would involve much shorter holes. The
distance on the current Strathmore course fluctu-
ates between 200 and 700 feet on each hole which
is one of the challenges for younger players.
“Kids can only walk for so long,” said Byma.
“Three and half, four kilometres for a kid to do
those holes … that’s a lot of walking, even for an
adult.”
The distances proposed in the pitch and putt
would be between 100 and 200 feet, severely re-
ducing the potential walking distance. Two areas
being proposed for the new course is the green
space east of the Kinsmen ball diamonds and the
area across from Strathmore Ranch Estates.
The cost would vary depending on design, but
according to Byma each hole would be about
$1,000, which includes the cost of signs and tee
pads. According to Byma, part of the appeal of
disc golf is its low cost. The current course is free
to play and people who want to become SDGC
members pay $40 to join. Casual players who
aren’t part of the club only have to pay for their
discs, which cost about $10 to $20 per disc, and
you only need one, but can buy more for special-

BOB SOBOL
Strathmore Town Councillor
So, it’s probably time for me to step up on the
soap-box for a comment, as it pertains to munici-
pal councils and the issue of “over-legislating” (a
term being bandied about of late!).
But first, I’ll share a little history. Seventeen
months ago my son was killed in a car accident.
He was the driver of a vehicle southbound on
Highway 9. A northbound vehicle, in an attempt
to pass a semi-trailer, was on the wrong side of
the road and didn’t/couldn’t see my son coming
south. The head-on collision took the lives of my
son Jonathan and his passenger Alec Bracegirdle.
Now I admit that, had the laws that pertain to
passing when safe and driving with care and at-
tention been followed that day, my son would
probably be with us today. Nevertheless, we all
know that these laws are frequently responsible
for saving lives, rather than ending them. I un-
derstand, and appreciate, that people hate to be
“over-legislated” – I was a peace officer when the
seat-belt legislation became law in Alberta, and
that word was heard on a daily basis. People felt
the government had gone too far. Well, I cannot
count the collisions that I have attended in my
29-year career as a peace officer, where it became
so blatantly obvious that those leather restraints
were instrumental in saving lives.

Byma would prefer to follow a fundraising or

There are 52 members in the club who played
in six tournaments; most are local but include
residents from other communities such as Ches-
termere.
The SDGC also has 14 junior league members
aged 10 to 17 years of age which is part of the
club’s strategy – to grow the game from the youth
up.
Strathmore will host the EMBEE Open again
this year from Alberta Disc Golf Tour, which is a
major tournament for the local club, on June 30,
featuring junior, amateur and pro divisions. This
success has helped the SDGC look to the future of
its competitive players.
The prospect of a championship-level course
coming to the Strathmore area was also raised at
the council meeting on Jan. 24. A championship-
level course would bring more tournaments and a
So, as a councillor, I will continue to focus on
ways to save lives. The reason is simple, I cannot
bare the thought of having someone go through
the hell my family and I continue to go through
because of the loss of our son. I will continue to
press the police to write more tickets for distracted
driving. I will continue to support our Administra-
tion when they demonstrate why it is dangerous
to skate on Strathmore Lakes and to advertise/
sign that assertion. And, I will continue to support
common sense decisions like the one requiring
taxi-drivers to have a first aid course (in order to
know how to use the first aid kit that they must
legally have in their taxis). Having the knowledge
to take the right action when the people in your
vehicle need medical help is important. Not all
situations can be immediately solved by calling
911 or driving someone to the hospital (this has
happened with our taxis – and perhaps more of-
ten that one might imagine). But a situation like
a choking child in your back seat might require
some immediate action. Forget the fact that, as
a taxi operator, you are responsible for the safe
delivery of persons you are transporting. As a citi-
zen of this town, a town filled with so many fine
people, one would hope you could be relied on
to help save a life. I agree that everyone should
have some first aid training, but that could rightly
be referred to as “over-legislating!”

a one-time extension to meet the requirements of
the taxi bylaw from Jan. 31 to Feb. 23 of this year,

comply or a scheduled date for course completion.
Councillor Jason Montgomery said the situation
was unfortunate, and that council and adminis-
tration were trying to work with the taxi compa-
ny and giving the issue sufficient consideration.
Councillor Bob Sobol also voiced his opinion.
“A lot of people take first aid … in case one of
their children or grandchildren suffers an injury
and they know what to do. Maybe your drivers
should think about that. There’s a bigger picture
here, they have to stop looking at themselves and
start looking at other people,” said Sobol.
“You already said if you’re driving by and a
woman is lying on the ground you aren’t stopping.
That is a very, very sad comment, and if that is
the attitude of them, maybe it’s good you leave
because you’re not helping our community. We’ve
given you an opportunity to work with us and to
improve your service, and it’s very sad that you
don’t want to take advantage of it.”
By waiving the driver permit fee and offering
the in-house training at a low cost, each driv-
er would be looking at $230 in savings this year.

aid, not only to protect yourself but to protect our
population of residents here.”
Council voted unanimously to uphold the cur-
rent requirements of the taxi bylaw and to the rec-
ommendations made by administration, with the
addition of a first aid certification grace period.
The town will continue offering a reduced price
for in-house first aid training any year that drivers
are required to take the course. Councillors ques-
tioned the possibility of having a training course
twice a year, or every six months. Wrinkles, admin-
istration said, could be ironed out on a later date.
Administration also informed council that refusal
to comply with the bylaw could result in a fine,
refusal of permits or revoking permits.
A review of the bylaw took place in 2015, and
states that taxi drivers must pass a vehicle inspec-
tion, have a criminal record check, and obtain a
basic first aid certificate.
“The taxi bylaw has been in place for a year
which has given taxi companies ample time to
ready their businesses,” said Fule. “The main things
we’re addressing are mechanically inspected, clean
and smoke free taxis, with permanent decaling for
rider safety. We have also included a basic first aid
requirement for drives. But again, the companies
have had a year to implement this.”
None of the existing taxi companies had re-
newed their permits as of Jan. 31. The town was
also approached by several new businesses show-
ing interest in setting up shop.
According to the Municipal Government Act, mu-
nicipalities have powers to maintain responsible
service for safe public and private transportation.
Councillor Jason Montgomery asked Jan to ab-
stain from making a rash decision, give the situa-
tion some thought, talk to the drivers and continue
working together.
In response Jan replied the town wasn’t working
with her company or employees – which she has
referred to as family – and once more repeated
“we’re done” before leaving council chambers.

No pain, no gain
STEVEN GREENE
Times Contributor
As we near the end of the first month of 2018, I
thought about what goals I wanted to achieve in
my personal life. The first thing I thought of was
to get myself into shape.
Now, as a person with a disabil-
ity, I had to make a few dietary
changes (mainly cutting sugars
and adding more protein) and also
learn to adapt to certain exercises
and techniques, because after do-
ing a little research online, I found
there were limited programs for
people confined to a wheelchair
like myself. However, I was deter-
mined to get into the best shape I
possibly could.
After doing some further re-
search, I found an exercise online
called Seated Workouts, and quite
honestly, I can’t recommend it
enough. For those of you wondering what Seated
Workouts are, it’s an online program that’s made
specifically for people who are mainly wheelchair
bound. It has everything from strength – for me
I use free weights as using weight machines at a
gym wouldn’t really benefit my needs due to my

wheelchair; and cardio – my favourite is shadow
boxing, which is a great way to boost the heart
rate. It can be tiring at times, but it’s a great way
to get motivated, especially if you are confined to
a wheelchair, and I personally really enjoy it.
I got into fitness because I needed to get in bet-
ter shape. At the same time, I also wanted to live
a healthier lifestyle because at the
end of the day, we all have one life
to live and it’s up to us to live it to
the best of our ability because we
are never guaranteed tomorrow.
As I write this column, I have
to say that it makes me happy to
know that people are having an in-
terest in what I have to say, because
my ultimate goal in life is always
to encourage people to look at the
brighter side of life and realize that
there’s more to life than the latest
trends or what the latest celebrity
gossip is.
But my biggest goal is to encour-
age people to have the mindset that they can get
through anything that life throws at them, just
as long as they keep a positive mindset, push
through their obstacles and don’t ever give up, be-
cause we can get through anything, we just have
to believe in ourselves that we can do it.

Town of Strathmore protects its assets
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
The Town of Strathmore is cracking
the whip and zeroing in on a policy gap
concerning the absence of a municipal
right-of-way work and excavation pro-
cess, permit and policy that ensure the
protection and rehabilitation of public
infrastructure during construction.
Up until last week, the municipality
had no formal application process or
policy, operating on a case-by-case pro-
cess and leaving pubic funds vulnerable
when a company-damaged public infra-
structure then failed to make repairs or
lacked adequate insurance to cover the
cost.
Developers, builders, agencies and
companies are sometimes required to
excavate or dig into municipal rights-of-
way – town-owned sidewalks, roadways,
curbs and gutters, boulevards, back al-
leys, parks and walkways – in order to
upgrade services, install new services,
or repair services.
With Strathmore’s population on the
rise, the town’s Infrastructure and De-
velopment Services department has fo-
cused on improving processes with in-
tentions of serving Strathmore better.
As a result, the department ap-
proached town council on Jan. 24 with a
recommendation to adopt the proposed
Municipal Right-of-Way Work and Exca-
vation Policy 6104; a policy which coun-
cil approved unanimously.
“Infrastructure is at risk, public funds
are at risk, because we don’t have
enough information or proof of insur-
ance on these applications,” said Chuck
Procter, Town of Strathmore planner.
“We need this documented policy, we
need these formal processes and we
want to be a professional organization.
We also want to protect our public funds
and the new policy kind of established a
transparent process. We need something
in place to outline this approach. That’s
how we want to treat these folks mov-
ing forward, rather than an email and a
handshake.”
Policy 6104 requires a completed ap-

plication and checklist; a certificate of
insurance with a minimum general li-
ability insurance coverage of $2 million;
a $2,000 refundable deposit used to
correct deficiencies; and a $200 appli-
cation fee to cover costs of engineering
review, team review, communications,
map created by the GIS department and
newspaper ads. In addition, applicants
must submit detailed engineering draw-
ings, a communication plan and a traffic
accommodation plan in the event of a
roadway closure.
Town administration anticipates five
to 10 excavation requests this year. In
2017, municipal right-of-way excava-
tions included the fibre optic cable in-
stallation by Bell Communications to the
Storefront School, and upgrading the
municipal water and sanitary services
for two future six-plex units on Centre
Street – in both cases the roadways and
sidewalks were closed. The policy is tai-
lored to Strathmore but reflects on the
policies of Calgary, Banff, Grande Prai-
rie and St. John’s.
“The town gets what we want, we
get the information and the applicant
is more prepared because … they have
plans moving forward and they can
deliver a better process; it’s kind of a
win-win,” said Procter. “Applicants will
have more skin in the game with that
deposit and information provided to us.
The town will have more information,

We Are Hiring! Times Associate Editor

Posting 2018-01
Closes: February 23, 2018
General Manager, Transportation & Infrastructure Services
Due to the incumbent’s retirement in May, 2018, Wheatland County
is seeking a General Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure
Services.
The primary function of the General Manager of Transportation and
Infrastructure Services is to oversee Transportation, Roads, Bridges,
Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Fleet/Equipment, Facilities and
County Lands/Properties, and ensure compliance with current Health
and Safety Acts/Regulations/practices.
The General Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure Services
reports to the Chief Administrative Officer or in his/her absence to
the designate. A professional position in Wheatland County, the
General Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure Services leads
the Transportation and Infrastructure Services Team that implements
the strategic initiatives of the Department.
This position ensures the goals and objectives of the department are
achieved. Additional responsibilities may include assuming the duties
of Chief Administrative Officer in his/her absence as required.
The General Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure Services
supervises:
 Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure Operations
 Manager of Transportation and Utilities
 Transportation and Infrastructure Assistant
With Valentine’s Day just around the
corner, the Rosebud School of Arts is
embracing the theme with two musicals
focusing on the ups and downs of rela-
tionships.
While the timing wasn’t deliberate,
Cassandra Garbutt’s final project, May
and Joe: A Rosebud-born Musical, and
Caitlyn O’Connor’s final project, The
Last Five Years, fit the bill.
May and Joe: A Rosebud-born Musi-
cal was originally written as a Christmas
musical by Morris Ertman and Heather
Pattengale in 2012. The story is de-
scribed as a true love story about an or-
dinary couple who experience a miracle
when May becomes pregnant – but it’s
not Joe’s. It’s a story about faith, miracles
and sacrifices to keep ones love alive.
Garbutt always knew she wanted to
pursue a musical for her final project, as
well as something that resonated with
her faith and belief in God. It didn’t take
long for the Rosebud student to fall in
love with the script.
“I am incredibly passionate about
musical theatre, it’s one of the reasons
I am pursuing the arts, “ said Garbutt.
“I feel like May and Joe is more than a
romance, but I love how it is. It’s not re-
ally about them falling in love with each
other in that sense of the word romance.
But it’s actually about them already be-
ing in love and realizing that they do
want to spend the rest of their lives with
each other … even after the infatuation
is gone.”
Unlike her peer, Caitlyn O’Connor’s
cal as her final project. Yet it was the
music that captured her attention. The
Last Five Years is a story that follows the
relationship of Jamie and Cathy from
their first date to their divorce. However,
the timelines differ from each other. Ja-
mie’s story is being told from beginning
to end, while Cathy’s story moves back-
wards.
“It’s ultimately pretty heart-break-
ing; there are moments of joy for
sure, there’re moments of comedy. But
there’re also moments of sadness, anger
and despair; it’s got all the colours that
any relationship has,” said O’Connor.
“My heart went for the music and my
intellectual side went for the – how do I
put this – the show is really fascinating
because you know what’s going to hap-
pen right off the bat. I think the story re-
ally reflects the human experience, and
is very honest and very true. And that
really attracted me to it.”
Acting opposite O’Connor is Travis
Friesen who will reprise the role of Ja-
mie, who he had portrayed in the same
play 10 years ago. Yet Friesen isn’t the
only one returning to a former role.
Morris Ertman, who wrote May and Joe,
will once again be directing the play.
Paul F. Muir, the education director at
the Rosebud School of Arts, recognizes
the opportunities the projects present,
not only to the students but the com-
munity.
“I would say that musicals about re-
lationships are extremely popular be-
cause the themes are something all of
us can relate to,” Muir said.

Kings lack effort,
drop shootout at
Family Centre
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Wheatland Kings and the Medicine Hat
Cubs needed a shootout Jan. 28 in a battle for the basement.
The Kings entered the weekend finale having lost nine of
their last 10 and fresh off one of their worst performances
of the season the night prior.
But back home at the Strathmore Family Centre, the Kings
looked to be in a spirited mood, as they duelled the Cubs
whose recent play saw them enter tied with the Kings for
fifth place in the Heritage Junior Hockey League Southern
Division.
“Tonight was a much better game for us,” said Kings Head
Coach Shadoe Stoodley.
“We worked a lot harder and showed a lot more effort.
There was a lack of scoring, but at least we showed up with
an effort tonight.”
The Kings were able to skate into the first intermission
by staving off a five-minute major issued to Ryan Grasdahl
and two minutes of a Cubs’ five-on-three power play when
Hayden Vander Ploeg sat for roughing.
“It just comes down to effort on the penalty kill. When
you play harder, getting in the proper position becomes
easier and guys are able to stay in the play easier,” said
Stoodley.
In the second period, Jake Johnston snapped a head-high
shot from the blue line on Cubs netminder Josh Breznik.
The Coaldale product muffed an attempt to catch it, as the
puck fell out of his mitt and into the net for Johnston’s sec-
ond goal on the season at the 2:33 mark.
Four minutes later, the Kings (11-18-3) had a short-
handed chance, when Austin Holmes sent a pass over to
Chayse Hnatowich on a rush in the slot, but it was just past
the rookie’s reach. Going the other way, Riley Fiorkowski
gained the Kings’ zone with ease and rifled one past back-
up keeper Calum Humble.
Holmes had to be shaking his head after the Kings
dropped a close decision in a shootout, as he should have
ended up with five or six points the way he was setting up
his teammates in tight.
Late in the third, Holmes circled the net and sent a pass
out front. He received a lucky bounce off a Cubs’ skate,
with the pass landing on the tape of Hnatowich, but was
stopped in tight.
Holmes also set up Vander Ploeg at the buzzer but was
turned away by one of Breznik’s 55 saves.
Not to be outdone was Humble, who needed to be razor
sharp all game, as the Kings were short-handed nine times.
He was a big reason the Kings secured the loser point. In
the third, Kody Hammond turned the puck over at the blue
line, which sent Josh Schafer in on a breakaway. Humble
stood tall, stayed with the shooter and made the kick save.
Not too much time had passed when Cody Riehl was off
on a two-on-one. Kings rookie blue liner Jaden Dorion did
a great job to take away the pass, leaving Humble to key in

the second round, when an inadvertent

Schmit. “He’s got a pretty big head.”
Schmit was able to land some devas-

Local product wraps up career with Kings
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Growing up, Ryan Grasdahl wasn’t
sure if he had what it takes to be a
prominent player in the Heritage Ju-
nior Hockey League.
A product of the Strathmore Minor
Hockey Association, Grasdahl always
wanted to one day suit up in a Kings
uniform, ever since seeing his older
brother, Brennan, play three seasons
with the Kings from 2010-2013.
“I watched a lot of his games and it
seemed like fast-paced hockey,” said
Ryan. “I wanted to stay in town so I
could have a chance at playing for
them one day.”
Ryan debuted with the Kings as an
18-year-old in 2014 when the team re-
turned to the HJHL. As a teenager, the
highest level he played was in 2010-11
when he played three games with the
Wheatland Athletic Association bantam
Warriors.
“I was pretty nervous to put the jersey
on and play in my first home game. It
was a big jump for me, playing against
guys that had played midget AAA, AA
or Junior A in the past,” said Ryan. “I
remember one of my first games with
the team I got completely run over. Af-
ter that, I remember thinking, okay this
is the big leagues now. I need to keep
my head up.”
“At the start of his career, there was
definitely an adjustment period for
him,” said Kings former head coach
Jeremy Blumes. “But the thing about
Ryan is that he works hard, cares about
his performance and his team’s per-
formance and made a lot of improve-
ments in his rookie year. He developed
into one of our more reliable guys back
there.”
It didn’t take Ryan long to adjust
to the Junior B lifestyle. He became
a steady presence on the blue line,
playing in 117 games and recording
12 goals and 35 points to go with 191
penalty minutes.
“He’s a big, strong guy and a force
on our back end. He’s sound defensive-
ly and a big part of what we’re trying
to accomplish this season,” said Kings
Head Coach Shadoe Stoodley. “When
he is working hard, he is one of the
tougher guys to go up against in our
league.”
Things weren’t always smooth for
Ryan. In his second season with the
Kings, former head coach Emilio Fuo-
co anointed him captain for his home-
town team. Following the head coach
and front office turnover that summer,
Ryan’s captaincy was given to his team-
mate of two years, Keenan Ogle.
“There were a few issues between
us last year,” said Stoodley. “He wasn’t
happy about not being captain any-

THE EXTRA MILE ATTITUDE
A person with an extra mile
attitude is someone who cares
more than others think is wise.
He is the person that risks more
than others think is safe. He
dreams more than others think
is practical; believes more than
other think is possible, and
gives more than others think
is necessary etc. There is no
way a man can maximize life or
opportunities if all he does is
to work exactly for he is being
paid for; putting in the number
of hours that is commensurate
with his salary; or if he always
puts in little.
However, Jesus said “If all you
do is love the lovable, or greet
only those who greet you, it
is not any wonder because
an average person does that”
Living in Strathmore for the past 14 years, Ryan Grasdahl is one of few lo-
cal products to play his entire career with the Strathmore Wheatland Kings. (Matthew 5:46-47). John

takes an extra mile attitude
to go beyond where others
stopped. It takes extra mile
attitude to take risk; to work
more than you are being paid
for; to keep going when others
are tired and discouraged.
Therefore, a lot has been given
to you in form of potentials or
talents and God has invested in
you powerful wisdom to make
a difference on earth. Do you
want to break records? Do
you want to maximize life? Do
you want to leave an indelible
impact that is positive in the
minds of people? Do you want
to be an extra ordinary person?
Then, develop this extra mile
attitude. Do more than it is
expected of you whether at
the workplace, society, family,
among friends etc. Give more
than you are giving now. Give
to life your extra, and you will
make the best out of life.

The Strathmore High School Spartans
senior girls unit turned in their best per-
formance of the year coming out of the
exam break.
For the first time this season, they
reached the A side final. When tip-off
finally happened in the finale, the Spar-
tans were short a few key players and
fell 55-35 to the Lacombe Composite
High School Rams Jan. 27 at the Olds
tournament.
“We just couldn’t score in the final. We
were missing Natalie (Funk) who was
away for hockey (and) Kaylin (Larson)
rolled her ankle earlier in the tourna-
ment so we only had one point guard.
If we had our full roster, this weekend
would have been a different story,” said
Spartans Head Coach Kyle Larson.
Despite showing signs of fatigue, Da-
vidson led the Spartans in the final with
13 points but needed 20 shots to do so.
Sydney Boyd was second on the Spar-
tans with nine and pulled down four
rebounds.
The end result didn’t blind Larson
from seeing how much his team showed
signs of improvement coming off their
second break of the season.
“We played pretty good this weekend.
Anytime you reach a final, it should be
celebrated,” said Larson. “The first game
of the tournament was the best game
we played all year. We played well as
a unit, passed the ball, made the extra
pass to get easy baskets and scored with
ease in transition.”
In the opener, the Spartans cooked
the George McDougall High School
Mustangs 69-30 Jan. 26.
Boyd was the best shooter on the
floor, finishing up with 16 points. Da-
vidson once again was strong, piling up
15 points while shooting 33 per cent
on the afternoon. The Spartans hauled
down an impressive 47 rebounds, pow-
ered by Jaidyn Eitzen’s 12, while Kirsten
Wheland and Boyd each recorded seven
boards.
In the semifinals, the Spartans need-
ed overtime to suppress the Olds High
School Spartans.
Olds was making a run late in regu-
lation, as Strathmore was clinging to a
four-point lead.
“We squandered a pair of leads against
Olds, but I’m glad it went to overtime,”
said Larson. “I would rather them win
the game by battling back in overtime
instead of hanging onto a lead and bare-
ly winning in regulation.”
