Acting Staff Sergeant Kevin Reilly, from
the Strathmore RCMP detachment, met with
Wheatland Council on Dec. 6, to update
them on the policing progress that offcers
had made in the last year and share some
focus for the coming year.
He qualifed that the statistics listed were
down in general, however many factors can
infuence why the statistics fuctuate year
to year. Provincial traffc offences and im-
paired driving were down as well as theft.
There were increases in oilfeld theft. A co-
ordinated task force addressed factors con-
tributing to the thefts and developed tactics
to combat them. Vandalism calls were also
down. Drug arrests were generally the same
and located mostly in areas bordering Cal-
gary. The province was setting aside funds
to develop a regional focus to address drug
problems.
There were indicators that three more
offcer positions would be available in the
Strathmore detachment by 2015, and one
would be a dedicated position to deal with
major crime and undercover situations. The
permanent Staff Sergeant position should be
flled within three to six months. The New
Year may also see new support staff posi-
tions.
Some focus points included increasing of-
fcer visibility in all the rural communities.
We are trying to get our members in-
volved in all our communities, said Sgt.
Reilly.
Continued work with programs such as
Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE),
Strathmore Wheatland Addiction Team
(SWAT), the schools, Victim Services and
support to gain funding for a full time Do-
mestic Violence Co-ordinator. He said Vic-
tim Services are a great help to the offcers,
often flling the gap for the victims before,
during and after the time the offcers re-
spond.
Council had wanted more information
about retaining contracts for policing within
the municipality. Other counties and mu-
nicipalities had contracted offcer hours
and developed school resource positions, or
contracted offcers for special event cover-
age. Strathmore, for example has a contract
with the Strathmore detachment to provide
a certain amount of man-hours to police
Strathmore.

Under the Provincial Police Act
current to 2011, www.qp.alberta.ca/
documents/Acts/P17.pdf there are
mandates for cities and villages over
5,000 people to maintain a police
force either by making contracts with
the provincial force. An alternative
is to establish their own regional or
municipal force, which is very costly.
It states that towns or villages under
5,000 people pay no costs for the
provincial policing. Some areas can
be exempt with permission from the
Alberta Minister of Justice.
We try to work with the commu-
nities and councils. We receive their
input, to try to meet our goals and
their goals, in keeping our communi-
ties safe, said Sgt. Reilly.
Sgt. Reilly said that arrangements
to fund offcers for special events
have worked out well. The offcers
are usually off-duty offcers called
in and remain on duty for the entire
event. When the event asks for on-
duty patrols as available, they may
have to respond at any time to other
more urgent calls elsewhere.
With Christmas festivities gearing
up, the Strathmore detachment in
conjunction with Chestermere RCMP
and the Sheriffs held a check stop
that netted one impaired driver, three
people with outstanding warrants
and two vehicle equipment viola-
tions.
We will be conducting numerous
check stops throughout the county
during the Christmas season, hoping
to infuence them not to be drinking
and driving and keep our community
safe, said Sgt. Reilly.

As a way to commemorate the 60th
anniversary of Queen Elizabeths acces-
sion to the throne, a Queen Elizabeth
II Diamond Jubilee medal was created
and distributed in 2012.
The medal has been presented to
60,000 Canadians throughout the year,
recognizing them for various achieve-
ments and/or signifcant contributions
to their community, province or region.
Rockyford resident Dani Gariepy,
24, her fellow members of the Calgary
Stampede Royal trio and Indian Prin-
cess Amelia Crowshoe were among the
60,000 Canadians honoured with the
Queens Jubilee Award.
Receiving this award means the
world to me. It goes to show that my
past year of 100 per cent dedication to
the Calgary Stampede was well worth
it, and that my efforts contributed to
something bigger than just my own
self-fulfllment, said Gariepy.
It means that being a part of the
Stampede, especially on the centen-
nial year, contributed to building com-
munity in Calgary, and that this was
recognized by others as a signifcant
achievement.
At the beginning of November Gari-
epy noticed a fancy envelope ad-
dressed to her in the mail. At frst she
thought it was a mistake until she read
it and found out it was for a ceremony
on Nov. 30 at Mount Royal University.
I was very surprised to get this
award, considering my obvious degree
of youth compared to the others. The
other Stampede girls and I were by far
the youngest recipients out of the 100
people that received the award that
day, said Gariepy.
I felt so honoured to be put in the
same category as the rest of the award-
ed individuals. There were many doc-
tors, lawyers, scientists, artists and po-

Christmas is upon us...
And with the season comes
family gatherings and parties, and
accidents do happen. Do you know
that it is your responsibility to look
after your guests and to minimize
the risk of slips and falls? Make
sure your sidewalks and steps are
cleared of snow and ice. Its also a
good idea to have your porch light
on so your guests can see where
they are going around those gifts
and over the food that they are
bringing into your home. Make
sure that your lawn decorations
dont have cords that are in the
way, as they can get covered with
snow and trip an unsuspecting
person! That is the last thing you
probably want to deal with during
the Christmas season.
As you are piling your gifts
under your Christmas tree, make
sure to keep them far from the
tree lights. Although it is a rare
occurance, those lights can heat
up the wrapping paper and cause a
fre. Keep the ribbons and bows to
a minimum if you have young kids
or pets, as they are pretty and fun

to eat! Ribbons are a huge choking hazard.
If you decided to bring out the rum and eggnog, or
other party beverages, be sure that your guests have
made arrangements to stay over, or know how they are
getting home. You could be held liable if your guests
drink and drive and cause an accident along the way.
Aside from all this added stress to your holidays, we
wish you a Very Merry Christmas, from all the brokers at

The New Year holds some exciting
directions for the Harvest Healing
Church. Situated in the Canal Crossing
district of Strathmore, they have built
a new 6,000 sq. ft., two story sanctuary
that will be move-in ready this spring.
I give glory to God. I am really
thankful for all the work he has done
and is doing, and for all the work peo-
ple have done to help out, said Pastor
Elizabeth Karp.
The church is a spirit-flled, biblical-
ly-Christian-based, non-denomination-
al church. Services are high energy
and music-flled.
We are blessed with a good wor-
ship team, said Karp.
The church is six-years-old and their
mission statement revolves around
keeping it REAL-relational, excellent,
accepting and life-giving. The con-
gregation is 70 members strong, com-
posed of young families with a strong
junior youth attendance. It also holds
youth nights for 10 to 14-year-olds on
Fridays at 7 p.m.
The church currently provides ad-
dictions life skills counselling and
hopes to expand that with time. An-
other New Year goal is for the church
to host a missions luncheon caf, with
proceeds that go towards their mis-
sion outreach. Karp also foresees a
Wee College, where 4 to 6-year-olds
can gain foundational faith learning.
With help from the tradesmen in the
congregation, the inside layout will
have a kitchen, classrooms, a sanctu-
ary that doubles as a gymnasium and
a mechanical shop.
We want it to be a well utilized
building. A lot of churches are used
fve six hours a week and sit empty
most of the time. So this will be a
community service and training cen-
tre, said Karp. We are hoping to
get youth off the streets and we have
some people that are willing to coach
basketball, so we are hoping to utilize
that sanctuary for more than a sanctu-
ary. We want to teach classes on how
to maintain your vehicle and bring the
kids in and do some practical with
them.
The services will still be held at
10:30 Sundays at their 3rd Avenue ad-
dress, until all the work in the new
building is complete. Anyone wanting
more information can call Pastor Karp
at 403-880-3171. Everyone is welcome
to attend services.

SLC food drive
a huge success
Jenna GiGantelli
Times Jr Reporter
Over the past couple of
weeks, the Strathmore High
School Student Leader-
ship Council organized the
Twelve Days of Giving.
For twelve days, the stu-
dents were assigned a food
item to bring in to their
block one class. Since ev-
ery day the block one class
alternates, a sense of com-
petition really encouraged
the students to contribute
as many food items as they
could.
We collected 3,031 food
items and it is all going to the
Wheatland County District
Food Hamper Society, says
Jonah Zankl, co-president of
SLC. This has been our most
successful drive ever and the
response from the students
was remarkable.
The classes who brought
in the most food every day
won a prize, ranging from a
pancake breakfast, to a day
of tobogganing, and even a
piata/nacho party.
Congratulations to Strath-
more High School for an
amazing job well done.
Thank-you to everyone that
participated and supported
the food bank this holiday
season. Many families in
need are grateful for these
generous donations.

Testing new drugs requires seeing how they
might affect body organs like the liver, kidney and
heart. They use live subjects in this testing. The
National Institute of Health in the U.S. is funding
research into 3-D tissue chips using living cells
that model the structure and function of the real
organs. Once developed, these chips will be used
to test new drugs and result in bringing them to
market faster.
The words cold chain refer to the need to
keeping vaccines and certain antibiotics cold (2-
8C) from manufacturing to administration. This
is important when shipping products overseas be-
cause half of the vaccines are lost due to exposure
to heat. A new idea using silk as a stabilizer in the
product will allow a greater range of temperature
variations. Should be in use in about fve years.
We get kind of smug in Canada thinking that
being overweight is more an American problem.
But today, 59% of Canadians are either overweight
or obese. By 2026 this is expected to reach 70%.
Now is the time to do something about it.
Music can have a powerful effect on people with
dementia. A program called Music and Memory
uses music selections that the patient listened to in
past years. Using an MP3 player and earphones,
the music brings back memories to these patients
and helps them become more connected with the
real world.
Giving you the best service for all your medi-
cation needs is the main goal of our pharmacists.
Hope to see you in our pharmacy soon.

Members of the Strathmore and Dis-
trict Ag Society received the requested
unaudited fnancial report for 2012, at
a meeting held on Dec. 11, 2012 in the
Chuck Mercer Room of the Strathmore
Civic Centre.
Last year the membership voiced
concerns about accounting practises,
and they asked for a bookkeeping re-
view and a presentation of the fnan-
cial report to answer those concerns.
It was an initiative to move the Soci-
ety forward, into better accountability
practises and continued growth.
Gregory Harriman and Associates
prepared the report.
Nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that these f-
nancial statements are not, in all mate-
rial respects, in accordance with Ca-
nadian generally accepted accounting
principles, claimed the Gregory Har-
riman cover sheet.
The report compared 2011 to 2012
fgures, with a cut-off date of Oct. 31,
showing differences between the two
years.
In many areas, Schedule 1 of the re-
port showed improvements from the
prior year.
To their credit, it is a substantial im-
provement, said John Gauvin, CGA.
There were gains in:
Food and beverage sales,
Fundraising,
Raffes and auction tickets,
The tarp auction,
Campground sales,
Farmers Market revenue,
Donations
The membership increased by
$1,015, which supports continued in-
terest in the Society. Admissions fees
were down, but in 2012, Heritage
Days cut back the event by one day.
It is interesting to note that Heri-
tage Days was decreased by one day,
but total admission revenues did not
suffer signifcantly, said Sarah Wil-
liams, CA.
According to Schedule 1, there were
good efforts to cut back expenditures,
which the Board of Directors and op-
erational staff promised to the mem-
bership:
Prize money decreased,
Purchases were down,
Repairs and maintenance costs
lowered,
Farmers Market costs curtailed,
Telephone bill was less
Less was spent on conventions
and conferences,
Volunteer appreciation costs cut
Donations signifcantly curtailed
Livestock feed and vet costs low-
ered
Property taxes and interest on
loans and bank charges reduced
Less money spent on the banquet
The Societys Cash fow at the begin-
ning of the year was in the red, but
with the sale of land and cost cutting
measures, the fgures sat comfortably
in the black by Oct. 31, 2012.
Last years completed projects were:
Quonset reface
Building a secure Count room for
sorting money
Rodeo grounds and bathroom
maintenance
Bleachers on the south side were
repaired
Power upgrade made to the camp-
ground
Livestock Pavilion upgrades
Grounds cleanup by sea cans
New chutes with High School ro-
deo funding help
Upcoming development of an out-
door skating rink
Members suggested that a system
of checks and balances occur, to track
funds throughout the year and a book-
keeper be hired.
They also suggested that improved
decision-making processes were need-
ed for 2013 expenditures and contin-
ued efforts expended to improve ac-
countability and repayment of any lost
funds, or past loans.

Raes Day
Tears were fowing at the Strathmore hos-
pital on Dec. 5 during Raes Day. Raelene
Schmaltz, a nurse at the Strathmore hospital,
was killed in a tragic highway accident ear-
lier this year. Raes day was a fundraiser for
STARS Air Ambulance. Her family, friends and
colleagues gathered to remember her. eileen
Schmaltz, Raelenes mother, was thrilled with
the turnout and the support that was given.

Dec. 21, 2012 marks the beginning of
winter, but it also marks the End of the
Mayan Long Calendar. Some say it will
also be the end of the world.
I was trying to envision what the
end of the world would look like for
Strathmore, Alberta. I couldnt envi-
sion sudden snowmelt rushing through
the irrigation canals and sweeping us
all away. A huge ice age like blizzard
would probably go unnoticed until
Spring, by those who stay housebound
watching reruns and playing video
games. Perhaps, if all the fracking seis-
mic crews set off their charges at once,
we might experience an earthquake
of sorts, or it is possible a huge plane
could drop out of the sky on the fight
path to Calgary airport. It is this kind
of stuff that people preparing survival
shelters contemplate.
On the other hand, NASA says we
wont meet our end by cosmic calami-
ties! See www.Nasa.gov and Beyond
2012: Why the world wont end. Mayan
expert Leonzo Barreno, living in Sas-
katchewan, is also in agreement that
we will all wake up on Friday. After all,
the Mayans didnt do a real good job
of foreseeing the demise of their own
megatropolis.
I came across this joke on www.yoast.
com and it seems to explain as good as
anything, why God wont destroy the
world this Thursday. Hope some of you
enjoy it.
In the year 2012, the Lord came unto
Noah, who was now living in the Can-
ada, and said, Once again the earth
has become wicked and over-populat-
ed, and I see the end of all fesh before
me. Build another Ark and save two
of every living thing along with a few
good humans.
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying,
You have six months to build the Ark
before I will start the unending rain for
40 days and 40 nights.
Six months later, the Lord looked
down and saw Noah weeping in his
yard but no Ark!
Noah! He roared, Im about to start
the rain! Where is the Ark?
Forgive me, Lord, begged Noah,
but things have changed. I needed
a building permit. Ive been arguing
with the inspector about the need for a
sprinkler system. My neighbors claim
that Ive violated the neighborhood
zoning laws by building the Ark in my
yard and exceeding the height limita-
tions. We had to go to the Development
Appeal Board for a decision.
Noah went on, Then the Department
of Transportation demanded a bond
be posted for the future costs of mov-
ing power lines and other overhead ob-
structions, to clear the passage for the
Arks move to the sea. I told them that
the sea would be coming to us, but they
would hear nothing of it.
Getting the wood was another prob-
lem, he sobbed. Theres a ban on
cutting local trees in order to save the
spotted owl. I tried to convince the en-
vironmentalists that I needed the wood
to save the owls but no go! When I
started gathering the animals, an ani-
mal rights group sued me. They insist-
ed that I was confning wild animals
against their will. They argued the ac-
commodations were too restrictive, and
it was cruel and inhumane to put so
many animals in a confned space.
Then the EPA ruled that I couldnt build
the Ark until theyd conducted an envi-
ronmental impact study on your pro-
posed food! he said.
Im still trying to resolve a complaint
with the Human Rights Commission on
how many minorities Im supposed to
hire for my building crew. Immigra-
tion is checking the status of most of
the people who want to work. The trade
unions say I cant use my sons. They in-
sist I have to hire only Union workers
with Ark-building experience. To make
matters worse, they seized all my assets,
claiming Im trying to leave the coun-
try illegally with endangered species.
Noah pleaded, So, forgive me, Lord,
but it would take at least 10 years for
me to fnish this ark!
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun be-
gan to shine, and a rainbow stretched
across the sky.
Noah looked up in wonder and
asked, You mean youre not going to
destroy the world?
No, said the Lord.
The government beat me to it.
End of the world

Rekindling the holiday spirit:
teaching our children to give back
Karin HitcHcocK
Counsellors Corner
The holidays are often a time to refect on
our good fortunes and express gratitude for
our family and friends. Adults and families of-
ten give back to the community during the
Christmas season to express gratefulness for
their own blessings and good fortune. The com-
munity of Strathmore benefts from the spirit
of giving shared at this time of year. Volunteer-
ing, donating toys and food, carolling, organiz-
ing benefts, and adopting an underprivileged
family are only some of the ways that Ive wit-
nessed the strong community spirit in Strath-
more. There are, of course, many individuals,
businesses, and groups who contribute without
public recognition. It is indeed wonderful to be
part of a rural community which is caring and
kind to all of its members.
Having children in your life at Christmas time
is especially wonderful as children embrace the
Christmas spirit and look forward to opening
gifts on Christmas morning. However, there are
many children (and adults) who only have an
I want philosophy at Christmas. This is an ex-
cellent opportunity to teach children that they
also have the power to contribute to their com-
munity and to give back; not only at Christmas
but throughout the year. In what ways can we
encourage our children to reach out and be-
come positive infuences in the lives of others?
How do we teach children to give back once
Christmas becomes a distant memory? Here are
several ideas for teaching your children to give
back throughout the year.
You can create a family plan together and
children can have input. For example, your fam-
ily may wish to donate money to a local charity
or volunteer for a fundraiser in the community.
They may decide to volunteer to pick up litter
in the local park or go on a fundraising walk
or run. Its important that your child sees the
benefts of what she is doing for the other in-
dividuals in the community. Have a discussion
about what your child is doing to beneft the
lives of others.
Giving back can also involve simple things,
like smiling at someone, sending a card to a
friend, or spending time with a lonely relative.
Children can also participate in a number of
other activities, including making homemade
gifts or baking for elderly people or shutins.
They may beneft from going through outgrown
clothes and toys and donating gently used items
to charity. Children can also create gift certif-
cates for doing good deeds in the family or in
the community. While you are grocery shop-
ping, you can allow your children to select an
extra item or two for the food bank. Even a lit-
tle contribution makes a difference and teaches
your child some valuable life lessons in showing
compassion and caring. Your child may choose
an alternative birthday plan and ask those who
attend to bring something for a specifc charity.
And fnally, as you move through the Christ-
mas season and into the New Year, remember
that you are your childs teacher. Your ability
to show compassion and caring towards oth-
ers creates a child who will also care for others
and ultimately work towards strengthening our
communities.
Karin Hitchcock is a member of the Canadi-
an Counselling and Psychotherapy Association
and has a private practice in Strathmore. She
has a passion for giving back to her community
through volunteering. She holds a Masters De-
gree in Counselling Psychology.

Welcomed news for local cattle producers
From the oFFices
oF Jason hale
Wildrose MLA for Strathmore/Brooks Jason Hale
welcomed news that beef products from XL Foods
will resume exporting to U.S. markets after the
U.S. Department of Agriculture relisted the plant
on Dec. 8. Hale issued the following statement:
The news beef exports from XL Foods can re-
sume to the U.S. is a relief to the community of
Brooks and indeed the province of Alberta. The
recall of the beef products and subsequent tempo-
rary closure of the plant resulted in hardships on
the workers, ranchers and community.
The resumption of exports to the U.S. indicates
the situation has stabilized, which is certainly
welcome news in my constituency of Strathmore/
Brooks. We must remain vigilant that this never
happens again.
While the recall was a devastating event, the
community pulled together to overcome this chal-
lenge. With co-operation of the CFIA, the federal,
provincial and local governments, as well as the
community as a whole, Brooks and its partners
pulled together when it counted.
I look forward to a full investigation into the
incident so we might learn how to prevent this
from happening in the future.

Many people say frst impressions are every-
thing. We judge people, places and things by our
frst impressions. We are taught how important it
is to make a good frst impression when meeting
new people or applying for a job. We walk into
a store and immediately judge what we see. We
pick up a book and judge it by its cover. I came
to Kigali, Rwanda and my eyes saw poverty, suf-
fering and dirt. I saw sadness in the eyes of the
young with no toys to play with, hard labor as the
children worked side by side with their parents.
In the house I live in, I noticed how many times
we did not have electricity or running water. I no-
ticed how many cockroaches were running around
or how I couldnt sit without being attacked by
mosquitos. I saw the beauty of the rolling hills
marred by a bloody history and the poverty of the
people here. We are taught young how important
frst impressions are, yet we have also been taught
the expression, Dont judge a book by its cover.
There is much more to a person, a book, a place,
than what meets the eye of our judgments.
Every day that I am here in Rwanda my eyes
are opened wider. I am truly seeing beyond the
media, and beyond my own initial judgments. I
am seeing a people who are trying to heal as best
as they can from a bloody history that many of us
could not even begin to imagine. I see a people
who despite poverty do not see a need for more
material objects. They place value on health, fam-
ily and friendships.
I am surrounded by people that live day-to-day
to feed their families but still fnd time to praise
the Lord for their blessings. I see children that
can fnd pleasure in playing with an old water jug,
a nearby tire, making their own soccer balls out
of reeds, following me up the hill every day to my
house, practicing their English, going to school,
helping Mom or Dad look after the little ones. It
is a heartwarming and humbling experience, yet
also a very diffcult one as I begin to refect on
my own faults and the faults of the society and
culture I come from.
Here, I would keep count of the days we
wouldnt have electricity or running water and yet
every day I walk to work there are families at 6 in
the morning carrying their loads of laundry down
to the trickling stream at the bottom of the hill
to wash their clothes because they do not have
running water in their houses. They would then
carry all of these heavy, wet clothes back up the
hill where they would then get their water jugs
and make the trip back down again. Once they
had lugged the heavy, water-flled jugs back up
the hill they would use this dirty stream water to
cook, clean and bathe with throughout the day.
Here I am feeling like I have it rough with no
running water for two full weeks, or no electricity
regularly and yet some of my neighbors do not
even have the luxury to begin with.
An experience like this makes you think about
your priorities. Where do my priorities in life lie?
I value my family, friends and health but I look at
the people that surround me and I see room to
grow. Many people have asked me if I think this
experience has changed me and each time Ive
answered with the same responseEvery experi-
ence changes you. Whether a good or bad experi-
ence, every single experience plays an important
role in who we are and who we become. We are
the only ones with the power to make each expe-
rience a learning experience that we can embrace
and truly grow from.
I have been so blessed here to see the many
faces of Rwanda and explore the country side.
I have had incredibly moving experiences with
people telling me their Genocide stories, talking
about their ways of life, sharing their traditions
and beliefs with me and eagerly welcoming me
to their country. There are people here from all
over Africa and each one is just as proud of their
country as the next person and eager for me to
love it here. I havent come to Africa to change
the world but the impact these people have had
on me, and the impact I have had on them will
last a life time as we have learned from each other
in such extraordinary ways.
The many faces of Rwanda
Pat Fule
Fule for Thought
I dont feel much like being cheery or writing some-
thing a little bit entertaining. All I can think of are the
kids and teachers who were killed last week in Con-
necticut. The fact that happy youngsters faced terror
before this madman killed them is unbelievable to me.
These kids should be alive right now, and the only
things on their minds should be Christmas, family,
and pals. Unfortunately, theyll never have another
Christmas, have a frst love, get to drive, graduate, get
married, or experience anything they should have.
Its all been taken by another crazed gunman who
then cowardly, kills himself. Im stunned, and Im sure
youre in shock as well.
Right now, Ive seen so many reports, tributes, and
images for those lost. THATS how we have to think
of the victims they need to be remembered, not the
gunman. The only thing I do want to know, is when
will these killings stop? Its almost become epidem-
ic now. If 28 kids and teachers died of a mysterious
illness at a school, EVERY available medical service
would be mobilized. There would be a massive ef-
fort to make sure the disease was eradicated! But ever
since Columbine, these mass killings have still been
happening.
I dont know if theres any ONE answer, but its
probably that more than one thing has to be changed
in our, and especially American society. First of all,
people faithfully watch American TV and movies that
are full of violent acts. In a typical crime show, there
are murders, images of corpses to be analyzed, re-en-
actments OF the killings for viewers. How can people
NOT become de-sensitized to these acts? Theyre even
in reruns during the day for kids to watch! The irony
of American media, is that nudity and swearing must
be kept to an absolute minimum, to protect viewers.
If thats the case with those two things, why wouldnt
they feel the same for violence on TV?
Adding to TV and movies, we have incredibly
graphic violence in video games. Kids and teens can
eagerly shoot up and destroy digital people on a regu-
lar basis. Its no wonder that it doesnt shock people
to see crime scenes on TV, or hear of graphic descrip-
tions of murders! We are, as a society, becoming more
and more used to violence. Its not a stretch then, for
someone who has mental issues to act out on these
and bring THEIR inner darkness into reality. If people
already have personality disorders, killing in video
may become easier to do in real life. Add to that, the
fact that guns are easier to get in the US (especially
handguns), and its a recipe for disaster. I watched a
tearful President on TV talk of the recent killing. He
stated that things needed to change. I was expecting
something concrete that would now happen, but it
didnt. Perhaps its time for all major groups to get
together: The NRA, State and Federal governments,
and media representatives. Maybe its time that (at
least) TV shows become far less violent, as well as
limit the violence in video games. Maybe combined
with that, its time that people cant have easy access
to guns, and especially handguns. There is a violence
engrained in American society that is not as strong
in other countries. Having easier access to handguns
also makes it easier to murder.
I found some interesting facts on the gun homicide
rates between three different countries. In 2009, The
U.S. had three gun homicides per 100,000 people. The
U.K. (which has very strict gun laws) had 0.07 per
100,000!! The closest year I could fnd for Canada was
2004, when we had 0.5 gun homicides per 100,000
people. Please dont infer that I think all guns should
be outlawed. I just feel that highly dangerous and eas-
ily concealed ones should be VERY diffcult to get.
Canada, for example has far more strict laws than the
U.S. states regarding ownership of guns. We also have
very rare examples of these mass shootings.
My point for this column was at frst to express my
sadness at the killing of all these little children and
adults. I cant comprehend how they must have been
scared in their last moments. I hope I could be as
brave as the teachers who protected, or tried to pro-
tect, their little students. We as societies have to fnd
ways to stop, or at least drastically cut the numbers
of killings like Columbine, the Aurora movie theatre
shooting, and now the latest Elementary School mas-
sacre. Our grief and vowing not to remember the kill-
ers names is not enough. It must become more dif-
fcult for Americans to buy and keep handguns, and
automatic/semi-automatic weapons.
American and Canadian media need to limit vio-
lence shown in peoples homes. In addition, why not
make buying certain video games, also become more
diffcult, like buying liquor, where you must be 18
to purchase? Anything to lessen the violent acts seen
regularly on TV, in video games, coupled with more
diffculty in getting handguns and rifes, has GOT to
have some impact. If governments dont start a pro-
cess to identify and curb problems leading to gun vio-
lence, then its only a matter of time before another
massacre happens again. This has to stop, because
there are 20 little angels and their families who de-
serve more than speeches.
Enough is enough

IMPAIRED MoToR vEHICLE CoLLISIon
At approximately 10:28 p.m., on Dec. 15, Strathmore RCMP,
Calgary EMS and Langdon Fire Department responded to a single
vehicle collision on Highway 560, west of Langdon. A grey SUV
was west bound on Highway 560 approaching Highway 791
when it left the road, struck the guard-rail on a canal bridge a
fipped end over end. The vehicle came to rest on the other side
of the canal. As a result of the impact damage was caused to the
road way and the canal bridge. Highway 560 was temporarily
blocked in both directions from Highway 797 to Highway 791
while the scene was examined. A 26-year-old male driver was
transported to Foothills Hospital with non life threatening injuries.
Alcohol is believed to have been a factor and the matter remains
under investigation by the Strathmore RCMP.

Here was your opportunity to escape
the hustle and bustle of the crowded
shopping centres and city streets on
a winter Saturday. Why not seize the
chance?
The snow was falling lightly dur-
ing the early morning. The chill in the
air signalled winter had come to stay.
However, inside of the Cheadle Com-
munity Hall on Dec. 8 was a warm,
cozy, potpourri-scented atmosphere
of the Second Annual Christmas Fair
and Toy Show, only a fve-minute drive
west of Strathmore.
People always like the country set-
ting, said Yvonne David, organizer.
Its their chance to escape the city.
The community hall featured about
30 display tables set up in a horseshoe
layout. And those tables featured a lit-
tle bit of everything: scented candles,
scrap-booking projects, Native Cana-
dian crafts, and of course, farm toys.
Don Risky, Farm Country Toys, trav-
elled 200 km south from Lacombe to
set up and sell his inventory.
Ive had a steady crowd of buy-
ers and tire-kickers, he said at Satur-
day noon, a few hours after the doors
opened.
Risky was also promoting a new
Massey-Harris Collectors Association.
We just started up, he said. The
fedgling group already has 20 mem-
bers under their slogan of Collecting
and Preserving Part of Canadas Agri-
culture History.
Don Lamont, who builds mini-barns
at nearby Langdon, stopped by Riskys
table and they began discussing farm
toys. Among other items, Lamont
purchased an International Harvest-
er cookie jar, which featured a farm
scene.
My wife will like it, he chuckled,
suggesting it may be her Christmas gift.
Lamont had been out hauling hay
when he took a break to pull into the
Halls parking lot. I always like these
farm toys, he confessed.
Yvonne David was happy with the
turn-out of sellers and buyers.
We had to turn away vendors, she
said, noting she rented display space at
$30/table. And out traffc is so much
better than last year.
David charged $3/adult admission at
the door. Her sellers came from near
and far: Leduc, Three Hills, Gleichen,
Calgary, and close-by Strathmore, to
name a few places.

When you mention the name Shelby Gregory in
and around the Standard area, it will bring memo-
ries of her singing with her sister Kelly at numer-
ous events such as last years popular Ladies 80s
Night, for the Lionette fundraiser. Gregory and
her sister put on a fantastic performance of 80s
music with all the neon bright clothing and cho-
reographed pieces that had ladies reminiscing of
days gone by with much laughter and hilarity.
On a more serious side, Gregory has for many
years now helped develop the talent of many
young singers and musicians in the area. She
ran a group called Music for Young Children for
many years, introducing children in a fun way to
beats and rhythms, timing and all with a fun mu-
sical twist. Now with a student body of well over
20 kids of all ages and abilities, the recitals are
well attended events in the community. Gregory
has students from Standard, Rockyford, Rose-
bud and Gleichen whom she instructs out of her
home studio in Standard. She maintains and ex-
pects a high level of excellence, which is easily
seen in her students performances.
Sunday afternoon was full of whimsical Christ-
mas melodies played on the piano and organ,
and fun familiar carols sung by her students, the
youngest of which was 6. One of her more senior
students, Lyndsay Goebel, capped off the indi-
vidual performances, which didnt leave a dry eye
in the Church with her song Christmas Shoes.
Presently, Gregory (mother of three) is also
teaching some Music and Drama at Standard
School to the Elementary students with Crystal
Cavanagh. The students there will be putting on
a performance in the spring of 2013 and fnishing
the year with a Cowboy Musical.

On Dec.13, the Bantam Storm hockey team gathered at the
Christmas Hamper toy location to help load up boxes to be taken
to the Food location at the Ag grounds. The boys ages 13 and
14 were excited to help and enjoyed themselves as they formed
an assembly line to load over 200 boxes. Thanks to PJs appli-
ance and U Haul for donating the trucks to transport the boxes.

The UFA Bisons collected a number of assists over the
weekend, and it had nothing to do with their on-ice product.
The organization hosted the 12th annual Christmas Shop-
ping with the Bisons on Dec. 16 at Strathmores Calgary
Co-op.
The local triple-A midget team helped children of single-
parent homes select gifts for their loved ones and offered a
helping hand in the wrapping process.
Its a humbling experience for our guys, said Bisons head
coach Jeremy Friesen. Anytime you have an opportunity to
give back to the community and spend some time with kids
half your age its great. There is nothing better than see-
ing a smile on the kids faces. Its very important for us to be
active in Strathmore and give back to the community that
supports us so well.
According to Friesen, the UFA Bisons not only develop
elite triple-A midget hockey players, but it also teaches long-
lasting life lessons as well.
Were a unique organization the commitment it takes
to play here in terms of travel and your off-ice workouts and
things like that. (Then) our extra-curricular stuff we do away
from the rink (like this event) we try and encompass as
much as we can so when they do get to the next level, there
is nothing new (to learn), said Friesen. We try and let them
experience everything at least once and help prepare them
for (junior hockey). I think this is a great event that a lot of
other associations can be jealous of.
UFA Bisons general manager Wayne Hansen agrees.
You know what? At the end of the day, the smiles and
the thank-yous from the parents - some of them almost in
Bisons give back

tears that their kids had a chance to
do this - thats where its all worth it,
said Hansen. This event is a big part
of our organization, to be able to give
back to the community. Strathmore
and area, they mean a lot to this team.
They make this program what it is and
its more than just a hockey program.
What we pride ourselves on, as an
organization, is not only to develop
hockey players, but we develop young
men. Hockey is more than a game its
a part of life and a way to give back.
According to Hansen, Co-op has
sponsored the event from Day 1 and
has been instrumental in the Christmas
Shopping with the Bisons for 12 years.
Co-op has done it every year, said
Hansen proudly. Twelve years ago,
the organization came to Co-op look-
ing for them to sponsor part of it, and
they said no, we want to do it all.
It has been that way ever since.
Without Co-op, this event doesnt hap-
pen, so theyre a big part of it. Co-op is
a big part of the community as well, so
this is a great partnership for us both.

Once again the Lord Of All Lutheran
Church is hosting its annual free dinner
on Christmas evening, and the invita-
tion extends to everyone.
Vicki Thurn has been organizing the
dinner for the past few years, along
with her husband, and says that the
event is always fun.
We do this because there is a need.
I know last year we fed 67 people, and
every year is kind of different, but weve
certainly seen the numbers come up,
says Thurn.
Anyone is welcome to come and
participate in the dinner and company.
Thurn explains that if your plans fall
through, if youre new to the area or
if you just want company drop by and
enjoy the meal.
Nothing is required to bring to the
meal, and Thurn says it is totally free
and there is no need to book a spot or
call ahead.
Thurn encourages everyone of all
religions to come, since the festivities
dont focus on religion.
Come for a good meal. Come to
just be with others, Thurn says.
Doors will open at 4 p.m. and dinner
will be served around 4:30. Every year
is different and after the dinner you can
stay and play games or sing carols, or
you are free to leave.
If you do know that you will be at-
tending the dinner, please call the
church at 403-934-2374 if you are
able to so numbers can be more ac-
curately estimated.
Lord Of All Lutheran Church
set for annual Christmas dinner
The Lord of all Lutheran Church
will be having its annual Christmas dinner
this year with door opening at 4 p.m.
Anyone and everyone is encouraged to
attend for a warm meal and good times.

Tis the season for many a Sunday
school concerts and renditions of the
Nativity in many Churches across
Wheatland County, across the na-
tion and around the world. Standards
Nazareth Lutheran Church was no dif-
ferent, or was it?
This year the two directors of Sun-
day school came together on the
much-admired theme of superhe-
roes by the young kids of their Sunday
school. During the fall they discussed
many attributes of superheroes: their
strength, their brains, their gadgets,
and of course their mighty powers. It
then dawned on Sonya Elias and Jen
Jensen, the Superintendents of the
Sunday school, who better than Jesus
as the ultimate superhero.
The kids certainly got behind the
whole concept and came up with cos-
tumes (aka Halloween costumes and
homemade attire). They decorated the
Church with drawings and paintings
of favorite heroes. The door leading
to the inside of the sanctuary had a
drawing of The Incredible Hulk, Spi-
derman and Captain America having
a discussion with Jesus. The play was
mostly written by Elias and Jensen in-
corporating the local Church and Pas-
tor in the kids hunt for Jesus.
Not necessarily a traditional pag-
eant but the story came across loud
and clear to anyone who paid atten-
tion. In a society where Christ is being
taken out of Christmas it was a great
reminder of the true meaning of the
season.
After the performance the Church
held a potluck where everyone was
welcome.

The concert followed a dinner that was held
for those who might not otherwise receive a
Christmas Dinner. Strathmore High School
has made it a tradition, and with volunteers
from the Leo Club and the food class
students, they helped fed over 125 guests.
It is a great way to get the students involved in
helping those that might not have as much as
they themselves have. All the food was
prepared by the food students and any left
overs were donated to the crisis shelter.

A new business has opened in Strath-
more that is sure to help you fnd inner
peace and relaxation while getting your
daily dose of exercise. Pranava Yoga lo-
cated at 107-95 Brent Blvd is Strathmores
frst yoga studio. There are currently fve
instructors teaching in the new studio,
with a few different types of yoga being
taught throughout each week.
What our vision is is to help people
understand that there is no one style
of yoga. As many teachers as there are,
theres that many styles of yoga, really
truly, said Becky Stone who co-owns
the studio with Wayde Garrioch.
Though a class she and another in-
structor teach might be named the same,
Stone said it would be a different expe-
rience depending on the teacher. She
recommends fnding the teacher and the
class that speak to you.
The classes offered are a traditional
Hatha, which they call foundation class-
es, and are about holding a pose for four
to fve breaths. The Hatha fow class is
faster transitions between the poses and
can be more challenging but only in the
sense that you should be more comfort-
able in the poses to begin with.
Yin is meant to be slower, spending 10
to 20 breaths in a pose, and gets into
connective tissues. Yin is more about
spending time in a pose and letting it
work its way through your body. Finally
Pranava also offers restorative classes
that Stone calls the dessert of yoga. You
are completely supported using different
blocks and tools to help get into the po-
sition and learning to relax and focus on
a specifc group of muscles.
Typically in yoga you learn to use
only the muscles that need to be used
and learn to let go of the areas that try
to help. In a traditional class ideally the
hope is to be completely supported but
completely relaxed.
It is not yoga unless it is connecting
you with your breath. The breath is the
bridge between the body and the mind
and as a yoga teacher our goal is to get
you to listen to your breath so that youre
gaining awareness within your body,
said Stone.
Theres such a disconnect these days
between whats happening in our mind
and whats actually happening in our
body and how do we get those two to
communicate and thats what the breath
is for. Basically if you can breathe you
can do yoga.
There are currently kids classes being
offered. They incorporate play, music, art
and yoga poses making the class fun for
the kids. There are also seniors classes
being offered and Stone said they hope
to offer modifed programs for people
who are wheelchair bound or who might
have diffculty getting to the foor and
back up again.
We have a physiotherapist coming on
board in probably late spring, early sum-
mer who will work in conjunction in cre-
ating yoga therapy programs which is re-

yoga studio, Pranava Yoga, is happy to see that
after being open for only a few weeks classes are
already flling up.
ally the new way of healthcare because
it treats not only the physical body but
it addresses the emotional body as well,
and the spiritual body, said Stone.
Yoga is not just exercise, yoga is
about fnding balance.
In the basement of the studio there are
two different saunas. Members, or even
drop-in clients, can book their time on-
line for the sauna and then head over to
the studio for their time. It will be heated
up and ready when they get there. The
space in the basement will be a multi-
purpose space but a lot of it will be ded-
icated to private meditation for people
who may need some place for a private
practice.
So if youre fnding that our sched-
ules not working for you but you do
have your own practice and youve got
nowhere at home, or the kids are scream-
ing or what have you, you can just come
in and well have screens and stuff set up
to make it private to do that, said Stone.
There will also be meditation sessions
held in the basement, and if all goes well
there will be a childcare area. Monthly
unlimited memberships give access to
any scheduled classes and the sauna.
There is also a drop-in rate available. If
you still dont know if yoga is for you, or
which class would be best, just give the
studio a call.
(Im) so happy to help people out. If
they dont know what yoga is or if they
would just like some guidance in mak-
ing decisions about what classes to come
to, or if they have mobility or chronic
issues, dealing with chronic pain, any-
thing like that and they would like some
guidance in making those decisions they
can just give us a call and well certainly
chat with them about that. Yoga is for
every body, said Stone.
There is a version of yoga that is ac-
cessible for everybody and if we cant
provide that for them we will help them
fnd that.
The studio is offering select classes
over the holidays. To fnd out more or
see which classes are being offered ei-
ther call 587-365-3651 or go to prana-

Kings give back
Mario Prusina
Times Editor
The Wheatland Kings collected food and toys for
the less fortunate, and paid back their fans with a
win over a division rival.
The local junior-B team hosted their annual Teddy
Bear Toss and collected non-perishable food items
for the food bank at their highly-anticipated game
versus the High River Flyers on Dec. 15.
It didnt take long for the bears to come fying, as
Aaron Durant opened the scoring 26 seconds into
the game en route to a 6-3 win over the Flyers.
I didnt realize how much of a motivation that
was, laughed Kings head coach Doug Murphy. To
get it done in 26 seconds sets a new standard. It
absolutely gave us a spark (we were looking for).
We talked about how we wanted to get it over
with quick and get on with the game. I just didnt
realize they would do it that quick.
After having their diffculties with the Flyers over
the last couple of years, the Kings bucked the trend
and got the much-needed win.
Its a team we struggled with last year, for what-
ever reasons, said the coach. It was good to get the
win and get the trend back to winning.
Heading into the second period tied at 1-1, the
Kings scored twice in the second period to take
control of the game. After exchanging power play
goals to start the third, the Flyers pulled to within
a goal before the Kings iced the game with a pair
of goals.
Parker Goergsen scored twice and added an as-
sist, and Aaron Elaschuk scored once and added
two assists to lead the way for the Kings. Justin Kos-
tiuk and Durant each added a goal and an assist,
while Blake Bishop also tallied for the Kings, who
improved to 12-12-1 on the season.
Chris Reed chipped in a pair of assists, while goal-
tender Bryce Halverson made his season debut after
playing junior-A, stopping 48 of 51 shots.
According to Murphy, with the addition of Halver-
son and the already solid Richie Hubbell, the Kings
feel like they have one of the best goalie duos in
the league.
No question (we have one of the best duos in
the league), said Murphy. Either one on their own
can challenge for the best goaltender in the league.
When youve got them as 1 and 1A, its hard to think
that anyone has got better goaltending.
Both of them are extremely quick and very un-
fappable. They both play their angles and positions
extremely well.
The Kings will wrap up the 2012 portion of their
schedule this weekend, when they travel to Airdrie
(Dec. 21, 8 p.m.) and host the Cochrane Generals
on Dec. 22 (8 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre.

After earning a berth in the fnal of the Macs Midg-
et Hockey Tournament last year, the UFA Bisons can
hardly wait for the puck to drop this Boxing Day.
The local triple-A midget team is one of the fve
host teams and will welcome the Carolina Jr. Hur-
ricanes, the Lethbridge Pronghorns, the Okanagan
Rockets and the Saskatoon Contacts in Pool Five.
I think were looking forward to it, its a great
tournament and a great opportunity to play against
the top teams in Western Canada and see how you
measure up, said Bisons head coach Jeremy Friesen.
Our end result goal is to compete for a National
Championship and a lot of the teams were going to
see here are in the way of achieving that. Its a per-
fect opportunity mid-way through the season to see
where were at and what we need to work on.
According to Friesen, he sees a lot of parallels be-
tween last years squad, which made it to the fnals,
and this seasons squad.
Both teams were in the middle of the pack in the
Alberta Midget Hockey League standings heading
into the highly-anticipated tournament.
I think we need to prepare the exact same way,
said Friesen. Get the proper nutrition, rest, hydra-
tion and all those things its critical for the guys.
Its a tournament that momentum and confdence
can carry all the way through, like it did for us last
year. If you get off to a quick start and youre happy
with the way youre playing, you can build off of that
each and every day you come to the rink and youre
probably going to set yourself up for a special op-
portunity.
The Macs Midget Hockey Tournament held their
annual press conference Dec. 18 at the Westin Hotel
in Calgary where the schedule was released.
The Bisons will open the tournament on Boxing
Day when they take on the Saskatoon Contacts (3:30
p.m.) at the Father David Bauer Arena.
The team will then host their feature game on Dec.
27 (2:30 p.m.) at the Max Bell Centre when they host
the Carolina Jr. Hurricanes.
From there, the Bisons will tangle with the Le-
thbridge Pronghorns on Dec. 29 (5:15 p.m.) at the
Max Bell Centre, before closing the round-robin with
a game against the Okanagan Rockets on Dec. 30
(11:45 a.m.) at the Father David Bauer.
We just have to play our game, play a full 60 min-
utes and play consistently, said Bisons assistant cap-
tain Markson Bechtold. Weve shown fashes that
when we play our game, we can beat any team in
this league.
If you lose the frst game or two, you (could) be
done for the rest of the tournament. (The goal is to)
get that frst game or two under your belt, get a few
wins, get your feet under you and carry that momen-
tum the rest of the tournament.

It was an extremely disappointing weekend for
the UFA Bisons, after a pair of home defeats ver-
sus North Division opponents.
The Bisons lost 4-3 to the K of C Pats on Dec.
15, giving up the game winner with 40 seconds
left, before falling 4-3 to the Grande Prairie
Storm the following day.
I dont know if there is a word for it, said
Bisons head coach Jeremy Friesen, trying to de-
scribe the latest loss. We came out really fat, got
into some penalty trouble in the second period,
even when we started to get some momentum,
we took a penalty, then another penalty, then an-

You get our backs up against the wall in the sec-
ond and now youre trying to play desperate hock-
ey in the third this isnt the league to try and do
that in.
They say the defnition of insanity is doing the
same thing over and over and over again. Id say
right now (the way were playing), were insane.
The Bisons fell behind 3-0 before fnally register-
ing their frst goal. Affliate players Tyler Sharuga
took a feed from Dalton Dubetz to open the scor-
ing. Markson Bechtold pulled the Bisons within one
after burying a breakaway feed from Jake Dube,
before the Pats iced the game. Bechtold pulled the
herd within a goal late in the game, hammering a
tic-tac-toe play from Conner McCallum and Mason
McCarty.
Theyre a team that if you let them stick around
and hang out with you, theyre going to bite you
in the (butt) and they did, said Friesen. Its not
surprising, I think our guys have to do some soul-
searching and come together as a group.
On Saturday, the Bisons fell behind 2-0 before
scoring a pair of goals in the second period. Jake
Dube and affliate player Dalton Dubetz evened the
score, before Tyler Sharuga gave the Bisons a one-
goal lead in the third period.
The Pats evened the scoring later in the third pe-
riod, before scoring the game winner with just 40
seconds remaining.
It was very, very disappointing, said Friesen.
We came out a little fat and we didnt attack the
net. We got down in the frst period and went down
2-0 in the second and then found our legs. We re-
sponded and evened up the game and took the lead
and we thought we were rolling from there.
A couple of lazy plays (cost us). The hockey
Gods, I think, kind of bit us and its good. Id
rather lose than get a tie in that situation as awk-
ward as that would sound but you learn more
from losses and they sting a little bit more and thats
what we need to go through.
When you cheat and take shortcuts, the hockey
Gods are usually going to come back and get you.
Weve seen it time and time again.
After traveling to take on the Calgary Northstars
(Dec. 19, result not available as of press time), the
Bisons will cap off the 2012 portion of their regular
season with a pair of home games.
The Herd will host the Sherwood Park Kings on
Dec. 21 (8 p.m.), before hosting the Calgary Buffa-
loes the following day (5:15 p.m.).

Spartans Christmas Classic
Shannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
Strathmore High School (SHS) Spar-
tans and Holy Cross Collegiate (HCC)
Hawks teams took to the courts last
week to compete in their annual bas-
ketball tournament. For the girls it was
the Strathmore Spartans Christmas
Classic held at SHS.
The frst game of the tournament was
on Dec. 14, which saw the two home
teams compete against each other. The
frst game was a bit of a battle with
both teams hoping to start off the tour-
nament with a win. The Spartans kept
their defense strong, which helped the
girls etch out a 36-29 win.
Strathmore High School:
The Spartans have had trouble play-
ing at a level of their competition to
start the season, said coach Dion Ga-
landy.
In the semi-fnal, Strathmore played
against Eagle Butte from Dunmore.
This team has consistently been in the
top 15 of the provincial rankings for
the past four years, so the Spartans
were going to have their work cut out
for them.
The girls started out well pressur-
ing the ball and being rewarded with
a 15-14 lead after one quarter, and tied
29-29 at the half. Because of their ag-
gressive play, the Spartans got into foul
trouble and began to lose a little bit
of momentum, eventually losing 59-73.
They played a very good game that got
away from them in the second half.
Eagle Butte went on to beat George
McDougall from Airdrie in the fnal 77-
64. Because of the loss to Eagle Butte,
the Spartans were regulated to play in
the Bronze Medal Game against Olds.
They handled them well and won 62-
39.
This year has been a good start for
Strathmore as they have been on the
winning side of each of the three tour-
naments they have participated in.
They fnished third at the SAIT tourna-
ment, took second in Canmore and fn-
ished third this weekend at home. Af-
ter Christmas holidays, Strathmore will
be back on the court with a tournament
in Fernie. February is busy for them as
they have tournaments in Olds, Strath-
cona Tweedsmuir and Eagle Butte, not
to mention league play-offs at the end
of the month. The basketball season
will conclude with Strathmore High
School hosting 3A Girls Basketball
Provincials March 14-16.
Holy Cross Collegiate:
This year there were four returning
players to the Hawks senior girls team,
though only three were playing in the
annual tournament.
We placed sixth in the tournament
this weekend. We lost 36-29 to Strath-
more High in our frst game and I
was quite happy with the result, said
coach Angela MacLean.
The Hawks carried on to win against
Ecole de la Rose Sauvage 40-24, and
fnished with a 55-40 loss to Fernie.
The Most Valuable Player (MVP) from
the tournament was Riley Sangster
who is also the team captain said Ma-
cLean.
Our year has gone well so far. We
won the Christ the Redeemer tourna-
ment on Nov 30-Dec 1 and we have
won one league game (against Notre
Dame Collegiate) and lost one league
game, Oilfelds by 19, said MacLean.
The Hawks had a home game on
Dec. 19; the results were unavailable
at press time. All teams will get a two-
week resting period for the Christmas
break before heading into the fnal
half of the season.
With fles from Dion Galandy.

Rockyford 4-H
The 2012/13 4-H season has begun for Rocky-
ford. Thank you very much to Darcy Burke, who
took over the leaders position from Sean Kenny
we all appreciate it. Our president is Leah Dahm,
the vice president is Will Kathol, our treasurer
is Cale Kathol, the secretary is Julia Newell, the
reporter is Christian Seeley, and the district rep-
resentative is Brooke Kalbhen. Thank you to all
these people for flling these positions.
We do have many new members, which is a
good sign for our club. We again sold community
calendars as a fundraiser. Thanks to Tara Kathol
for organizing this and to all the people who
bought calendars.
Weigh in was a success. This years calves look
really good. I think the entire 4-H club owes Pat
and Tamara Newell a huge thank you for letting us
use their farm for weigh in and their shop to hold
our meeting in. The calves had good weights and
looked to be in good shape.
We are hoping for fabulous year to come.
Warriors collide
After leaving the frst period tied at two, the Wheatland Warriors used a
pair of second period goals to oust the Foothills Bisons 4-2 on Dec. 16
at the Strathmore Family Centre. The local double-A bantam team will
close out 2012 with a road game in Airdrie on Dec. 22 before starting up
again in the New Year.
