In the morning on Dec. 9 at 9 a.m., a report of an
armed robbery at the Petro-Canada gas station in
Strathmore, along Highway 1, reached the local RC-

the establishment, armed with a rifle and bear spray,
and demanded cash. Shortly after, one of the male
suspects entered the Husky station, grabbed several
items and upon leaving, bear sprayed an employee
who tried to stop the individual.

The Strathmore RCMP received a description of the

stealing liquor in Cluny, fleeing in a grey GMC Acadia.
With the additional information, Strathmore RCMP

the last robbery heading eastbound on Highway 1.

After weeks of struggling to fill the bare
shelves and with only a few days left be-
fore the Strathmore and Wheatland Coun-

cutoff point, a compassionate act by the
Roadhouse Restaurant and Lounge staff al-

This year, the 51-member-strong staff
at the local establishment unanimously
decided to forego a gift exchange at their
Christmas party and instead bring items to

Mayor bids farewell to long-time teaching career Natural Teeth Whitening

MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Nov. 30 proved to be bittersweet for seasoned Strathmore
High School (SHS) teacher Pat Fule, as he stepped down
from his teaching position to enter retirement and take on
the role of Strathmore mayor full time.
After the Oct. 16 election, when a landslide victory solidi-
fied Fules position as mayor, the former English and physi-
cal education teacher vowed to continue teaching as long as
necessary to ease the transition for his students.
Then two weeks ago, the local politician was faced with
myriad emotions as he bid adieu to a career spanning 34
years.
It was like I could see the finish line finally after a long
race, so I was relieved and yet I didnt know what it was go-
ing to be like to break the tape and to finally be done, said
Fule. It was a combination of happiness, excitement and a
The people are the main reason that kept us here. We
had chances to go back to teach in Canmore but we always
wanted to stay here.
Fule taught physical education and English at SHS, and
coached basketball and volleyball teams, as well as a little
bit of cross country and track and field, including to his own
children Brennan and Breanne.
Things changed in 2010, when the now 51-year-old, who
describes himself as reticent, decided to take a risk and run

Fules decision to turn to education was rooted in the ex-

English and physical education teachers who related course-
work to everyday scenarios and travelled with sports teams,
Fule enrolled in education at the University of Calgary.
Together with his wife Debbie, who is also a teacher and
has been married to Fule for 34 years, the couple left the
mountains to move to Strathmore and never left.

Capsule Comments
Heres a couple of solutions for those of you who
still have problems swallowing pills. Try putting the
tablet or capsule as far back on the tongue as possible
then drink about 4 oz of carbonated water. The
carbonation seems to move the pill to the stomach
faster than plain water. You might also try a spoonful
of yogurt as a way of pushing the pill down the throat.
As winter approaches, it is still sunscreen time.
especially for skiers At higher altitudes, skiers
should be diligent about applying sunscreen because
the ultraviolet radiation is more intense at higher
altitudes. Too much ultraviolet exposure can cause
sunburn and non-melanoma skin cancers including
basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas. Be sure to
put enough on and reapply if you perspire a lot.
There is a vaccine to prevent cancer. Eleven
years ago the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine
became available. It was originally recommended
for females between the ages of 9 to 26 for the
prevention of cervical cancer and has proven both
safe and effective. Because HPV can cause cancers
of the penis in men, it is advised that young men
will benefit from the vaccine. Just a reminder that a
person has to be sexually active to get the virus but
the vaccine does not cause people to become sexually
active. It is good insurance for the future.
When a woman becomes pregnant, there are many
dos and donts and what not to eat and drink and what
medications should not be taken. One of the best
foods to eat at any time is fish but pregnant women
should avoid tuna, particularly, albacore tuna and
swordfish because they contain higher amounts of
mercury. The best fish choices for pregnant women
are sole, flounder and salmon.

Rosebud
business owners:
diversification,
creativity
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
When Rosebud Theatre ticket sales were slow
this spring and fall, other Rosebud businesses also
felt the impact.
But the response of at least two business own-
ers diversified their income and strengthened
their communitys economy.
Were in this precarious place where were so
reliant on ticket sales in Rosebud, said Travis Fri-
esen, owner of the gift shop, Kith and Kin. All
the businesses thrive around the hours when the
patrons come to see the shows.
When fewer patrons bought tickets for Rosebud
Theatres spring and fall shows, Kith and Kin also
saw a drop in customers.
Valerie Speer, owner of Arbor Guest house, saw
a similar decrease in guests. When (the spring
show) had difficulty selling tickets, I felt the im-
pact as if I was back in my first year of running a
bed-and-breakfast. She added that was before her
business had an online presence, so few people
knew it existed.
Speer also saw lower attendance at the Akokini-
skway Gallery, where she is curator. Thats really
difficult because it can be very disappointing for
the artists whove worked so hard to have their
work here.
When that happens, you feel panicky, a little
anxious, Speer admitted. But it also made me
feel, OK, what can I do? And then we started get-
ting more creative. So I dont think thats a bad
thing, overall.
Speer couldnt fall back on casual shifts as a
server in the Haskayne-Kenney Mercantile, as she
often has, because, with low dinner theatre ticket
sales, they didnt need the additional staff.
But that was a gift, because it allowed her to fo-
cus more time on her work as a landscape painter.
I got more (painting) done than I have in a few
years. I would like to try and keep that momen-
tum going.

RCMP LOOK TO PUBLIC FOR DIRECTION
Strathmore RCMP Staff Sergeant Kevin ODwyer
is hoping Wheatland County will facilitate a sur-
vey that will allow Wheatland County residents
to give their input on police services, negative or
positive, to the RCMP detachments in the area. He
is hoping to get a wider demographic in the re-
sponse, so they can evaluate different areas and
concerns in the community.
Id like to go to the public and ask for their
ideas and what you feel is going to protect you
and your neighbours, and make you feel safer in
your own homes, said ODwyer.
He said there has been an increase in property
crimes and vehicle thefts in the area. The detach-
ments have been trying to encourage interest in
the Rural Crime Watch initiatives. He said people
sometimes feel it is too much of a commitment to

get involved. He would like to talk with the public
and brainstorm any measures they think could be
developed.
People have to drive it and want it, said
ODwyer, about any initiatives success.
Councillor Scott Klassen asked whether there
were Crime Watch apps for personal phones.
ODwyer said the RCMP is looking at developing
some in the future. Social media was discussed
but ODwyer cautioned that social media could be
supportive or destructive, depending on the qual-
ity of information posted. The RCMP aim to keep
people safe, while they implement crime-fighting
measures.
ODwyer will be looking to complete surveys
by mid-March 2018. Council agreed to discuss the
suggestion further.
CANADIAN BADLANDS PITCHES
INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE
Barry Morishita pitched the idea that tourism is
a great economic development driver, and belong-
ing to the Canadian Badlands Association pro-
motes tourism. He said Wheatland County is the
gateway to the Canadian Badlands, which is rap-
idly becoming an international tourist attraction.
He encouraged Wheatland County to continue an
affiliation with the other Canadian Badlands mem-
bers and initiatives.
Morishita said many tour companies are pairing
the Badlands with mountain excursions, which
drives seasonal employment and increased busi-
ness opportunities if unique experiences and op-
portunities are developed. The appeal of wide-
open spaces may seem ordinary to residents living
in this area; however, Morishita said many people
from large urban centres have no link to the great
outdoors. He said it is also a good opportunity for
people to understand about rural life.
We need to let people know what actually goes
on in southern Alberta, and to do that, we have to
educate people, said Morishita. The best way to
do that is invite them into your own backyard.
STARS CONTINUE TO SERVE AREA
RESIDENTS
The Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS)
can be the fine line between life and death in a
medical emergency.
Glenda Farnden, senior municipal relations li-
aison for the service, said STARS currently use 11
helicopters to respond to life-threatening situa-
tions, and that to date the service has flown over
36,000 missions.
On average, STARS calls are 55 per cent medical
emergencies, 19 per cent motor vehicle responses,
14 per cent trauma related, seven per cent recre-
ational accidents, three per cent agricultural acci-
dents and two per cent are industry related. They
responded to the Wheatland area about 23 times
last year.
Farnden said the total cost of those 23 calls if
they were not funded would be about $200,000.
Alberta Health Services only supplies about 20
per cent of the funding STARS requires. The rest
is generated through various fundraising efforts.
It is very much a united effort. We continue to
protect and preserve a service that as Albertans
we are fortunate to have, said Farnden.
On Jan. 20, 2018, the Juno award-winning coun-
try singer Brett Kissel will headline the Stars and
Spurs Gala, hosted by the Petroleum Services As-
sociation of Canada (PSCA), with proceeds going
to support STARS. Tickets can be purchased on-
line at stars.ca.
Wheatland County donates $2 per capita to the
organization, which is included in their yearly
budget. Fallon asked that council consider extend-
ing their coverage for a four-year period.

On Tuesday Aug. 8 my husband Phillip and I

Strathmore History or information that may lead me
to some of my family history and life in Strathmore
where my father was born.
You were so kind to show me the green book,
The Village That Moved, and referred me to Rhonda
Stockwell and/or the library. My first call to Rhonda
was in vain, so after a stop at the library, the Strath-

Strathmore Standard, with everyone telling me to
speak with Rhonda, I left her a message and she
called right back. She then referred me to Lynne Fair
who was kind enough to take time from her busy day
to meet us at Kims Caf where we were having lunch.
She brought the green book stating it was the only
history book about Strathmore. She even found ref-
erence to my grandfather, F.O. Boortz (Ferdinand). I

need a walkator outside of the house. Ive shovelled
and cleaned a lot of snow in my life, but I cannot do
it anymore. I applied for help snow cleaning at FCSS
but they cannot get anybody to do it. FCSS is a divi-
sion or whatever of the Town of Strathmore.
I hereby would like to thank the Snow Angels on
Nov. 21, while I was at the George Freeman Memorial
Service (I am a legion member). The town division
of transportation (street and sidewalk cleaning) and
FCSS apparently do not speak or talk to each other.
The town cleans sidewalks all over the town, around
the swamp, outside of the schools, along parks and
pathways, and many other places. But they cannot
ask FCSS whether they have any people or seniors
that need their sidewalks cleaned. The town also can
charge or make me pay for cleaning my sidewalk (I
cannot afford professional sidewalk cleaners on my
pension). But the town cannot keep my street clean
of ice. I am a lucky man that I did not fall and hurt

We believe the building now occupied by Queens
Nail Salon was once Superior Meat Market, where he
had his shop.
Page 54 shows he was a member of the town
council in 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920. This tells me
he was very involved in the community during those
years. They left in 1923, moving to California.

myself.
I bought $40 worth of salt, but that wasnt enough
to clean the street. After all the relatively warm weath-
er we had in the last two weeks, the ice hasnt com-
pletely melted.
To avoid the ice I can do two things: 1. Get into
my car on the right-hand side and slide across the
seat, but that is very difficult at my age; 2. I can park
backwards on my street so I can get in or out on the
sidewalk, but that is illegal. So I am caught between a
rock and a hard place.
The Town of Strathmore cannot or will not clean
my street or sidewalk when it snows. So I just have
to be lucky anytime it snows that I dont fall and hurt
myself every time I have to get out to go to the store
or church, etc.
Thank you Town of Strathmore for taking care of
your senior citizens this winter.

also asked for a Cinderella and Ariel.

sent it off. I was thinking, wouldnt it be
awesome if we could do something to
make that hug come true? As we grow
up, Christmas is not that big of a deal,
but when you have kids you go all out.
The girls are his princesses and I think
hes having more of a tough time than
we are.
That same night Michael messaged
his wife informing her that none oth-
er than one of their idols, the Dragon

visit the troops. Without great expecta-
tions, Aly sent an email to Dickinson
introducing herself and the girls and
asking whether it would be possible
to deliver the hug. Shortly after, she
received a reply that Dickinson was
no longer going to visit the troops but
the message would be passed on. The
mother of two didnt give it another
thought until her husband recently sent

Town turns to new approach

for old bridge replacement
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
A request to dish out $1 million for
the replacement of the George Freeman
Trail bridge left Strathmore town coun-
cil and staff sticker shocked and unable
to justify the lowest bid, turning instead
to a new approach in search of greater
innovation and a price tag thats keep-
ing within the $800,000 budget.
Two years ago, the town established
a capital project for the replacement
of the bridge, which crosses the West-
ern Irrigation District (WID) canal, to
rebuild the structure with two vehicle
lanes and a pedestrian walking path.
While the project was scheduled to be-
gin construction this year, the budget
overage of $397,000 equivalent to a 50
per cent increase of the 2017 approved
budget and resulting in a total cost of
$1.197 million had town staff recom-
mending to adopt a different tendering
strategy; a design-build approach.
It is believed by staff that this ap-
proach will spur a more innovative and
cost-effective bridge design than the
previous process, said Mark Ruault,
director of infrastructure and develop-
ment services for the Town of Strath-
more.
It is also expected to lead to sub-
missions that are more in line with the
budget. The idea here is that when we
go to the market, therell be a lower
price. Its just our belief that with the
new process were trying to do here,
therell be some innovation that well
have some cost savings.
Public HearingsWheatland County Council Chambers
December 19, 2017 at 1 p.m.
Wheatland County will consider the following applications for Public
Hearing at the regular Council meeting on Tuesday, December 19, 2017.
The following public hearings begin at 1 p.m. and proceed until all
applications have been heard:
Bylaw # 2017-58
Legal Description: Section 8-25-26-W4M
Instead of tendering engineering and
construction services separately, the in-
frastructure and development services
group recommended the capital project
be redesigned and retendered, by utiliz-
ing the design-build strategy in which
the design and construction services
are contracted by a single entity and
publicizing the project budget to en-
sure serious contenders meet the quota.
In addition, the tender must meet
specific requirements, such as a two-
lane bridge with separate pedestrian
walkways, the WID requirements and
Strathmores standards. In turn the de-
sign is left up to the contractor.
Staff believes that there are cost
saving opportunities by changing the
bridges cross-section and lane arrange-
ment, Ruault said. Also after review-
ing, staff believes the project needs to
be redesigned to better reflect the cur-
rent needs.
Approximately $60,000 has already
been spent on the project thus far.
However, Ruault assured council the
expenditure will be reabsorbed as part
of the informational package included
in the design-build project.
After an assessment was conducted
in November, it was concluded the state
of the structure didnt pose an immedi-
ate safety threat, yet $25,000 of repairs
would be necessary if the bridge is left
unchanged over the next year.
Councillor Lorraine Bauer was con-
cerned with additional costs due to
market fluctuations of carrying the
projects tendering process into 2018.

New candy store moves into town
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
As Craig Vandenberg, owner of Strathmores
newest business venture a one-of-a-kind candy
store drove home on Highway 22X three days
after opening the doors to Tasty Candy Soda & Ice
Cream, he was overcome with emotion.
Maybe it was the exhaustion from putting in 20-
hour days, or possibly the many weeks of tack-
ling small roadblocks, or just maybe it was the
response he received from the Strathmore com-
munity an overwhelming outpour of support to
suggest a promising future for the coveted enter-
prise.
I started getting teary because I was so blown
away with how supportive people are, Vanden-
berg recalled. Theres so many things you can do
in so many communities and nobody cares. They
want to complain. This community has been fabu-
lous. The kids have been fabulously well behaved,
young and old, and that keeps me going.
Vandenberg and his wife Masami are no strang-
ers to business. Combined, the couple amass six
decades of business experience, including the
successful management of Calgarys first Kinjo Su-
shi and Grill restaurant, and running businesses
ranging from top-tier jewelry stores, to a souvenir
warehouse, to working as a sales representative in
the oil and gas industry.
Then, four years ago, Vandenberg was hit by a
car as he crossed a T-intersection in Calgary. Upon
impact, the entrepreneur was thrown into the air,
causing his tailbone to shatter, smashing his back
and twisting his knee as he landed on the ground.
With a pregnant wife at home and extensive re-
hab, the family decided it was time to move into
a different direction; one of owning a family busi-
ness one day.
That day arrived late last month, after much re-
search and some luck brought him to Strathmore
where the stars aligned, and brought the candy
store, which had always been at the back of his
mind, to fruition.
We started a business not knowing what to ex-
pect and theres been such an amazing response,
he said.
I had looked at Calgary and surrounding areas
and Im thinking, well, where else? Because of
population it never dawned on me to think about
a smaller population centre. That night I went
home I went on Kijiji and space for lease in Strath-
more came up. Next day I came out, looked at the
space and thought this is going to be it.
Leading up to that moment, Vandenberg had
done extensive research. He attended candy
shows in Chicago, and went on a fact-finding mis-
sion about candy stores in nearby communities
such as Vulcan and Nanton. His research helped
him create a checklist: the community must not
have a current candy store, not too many box

Candy Soda & Ice Cream in Strathmore on Nov. 25. The store
has already seen lots of traffic since the doors opened.

stores and a decent overhead. Strathmore checked
off all the boxes.
Located in the Leary Centre, the space is deco-
rated in bright colours, vintage signs, walls cov-
ered with bulk candy, and an assortment of spe-
cialty items from Canada, the United States and
Europe.
The Calgary-raised Vandenberg was introduced
to business at the age of three when he visited
his father at the Birks jewelry store. Although he
studied criminology at Mount Royal College, he
ventured back into business in the 1980s. His ex-
perience helped him understand the needs of to-
days generation mixing the old with the new.
The kids are big into the new, the most sour,
the most weird, the worms, the scorpion suckers,
but were also trying to teach them a bit of his-
tory too, the stuff they didnt know existed like
Chicken Bones, old fashion clove candy, humbugs
and ribbon candy, he said.
Everybody grew up on these, its been a holi-
day tradition for a century. But its been harder
and harder to find them because all these big
manufacturers are going out of business. I cannot
accept, thinking of a memory as a kid, not having
a candy store in the town or city I grew up in.
The store officially opened its doors on Nov. 25
and has since seen an influx of customers often
attracting up to 80 junior and senior high school
students at lunch time.
Vandenberg isnt slowing down. He continues
to bring in new items, including a recent purchase
of very large greeting cards, and plans to set up
a Slurpee machine, cinnamon donuts, slush pup-
pies, cotton candy and ice cream presuming the
breaker wont burst.
Tasty Candy Soda & Ice Cream is located at 104
3rd Ave.

High demand for library program
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Following widespread interest and
lengthy waiting lists, the Strathmore
Municipal Library is introducing a one-
day program in the new year to provide
youth with a window into the popular
Winging It program.
Winging It is the brainchild of long-
time dancer and actor Alex Keeling who,
as a staff member at the library, initiated
the program a year and a half ago. Since
then, children and teenagers have taken
to the program with enthusiasm, offer-
ing input and showcasing their talent.
The program spans over eight and 16
weeks for children and teenagers re-
spectively, and can only accommodate
12 individuals in each group. Therefore,
Keeling is offering a one-day free Musi-
cal Theatre Game Day program on Jan.
4 to 20 participants.
Winging It for teens and Winging
It for kids programs are popular, so I
wanted to be able to give kids a little
snippet in a one-day (setting) so they
could experience it even if they werent
in the full program, said Keeling.
Its been a very successful program
with waiting lists, and people are al-
ready seeing the posters and asking
about it.
In comparison to the Winging It pro-
gram, which includes musical theatre
games, many exercises and a dance rou-
tine, the Musical Theatre Game Day just
focuses on the games.
Winging It: Theatre Games for Kids
and Winging It: Theatre Games for Teens
are also making a comeback early next
year and will see the addition of a skit.
Keeling has danced and acted for 11
years and thrives on passing on her tal-
ents.
I love watching the kids learn and
grown, said Keeling. Its my favourite
thing to see them progress, whether its

Kings win,
give back
to the town
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
All the Strathmore Wheatland Kings needed was a little holi-
day magic to snap their longest losing streak of the season.
With Santa in the house, the Kings soundly defeated the
Three Hills Thrashers 9-1 Dec. 10 at the Strathmore Family
Centre, ending their six-game slide.
It felt good to win and it felt good to do it with a big win,
said Kings alternate captain Brenden Moore. Guys werent so
tense afterwards. They were a little more laid back and more
relieved.
It was a win on more than one front, as the Kings held a
food and toy drive at the game. Fans were encouraged to
bring in a non-perishable food item or an unopened toy for
entry into the game.
More than 40 toys were delivered to the Hope Church with
225 pounds of food being sent to the Wheatland County Food
Bank.
We like to get the guys involved in the community as much
as possible, said Kings Assistant Coach Braden Desmet. Its
a great way to show respect to the community that supports
this team. Its awesome too for everyone to get together for a
great cause.
Giving gifts to the less fortunate is a great feeling, but so is
a convincing win where 14 different players reach the score
sheet.
Leading the way was Bradley Tingey who recorded four
points, scoring a goal in the second and third period.
Moore chipped in with his first two-goal game of his Heri-
tage Junior Hockey League career. Jaks Faris netted the win-
ner from Jaden Doiron 2:49 into the opening frame, while
Austin Holmes, Chayse Hnatowich and Garret Vander Ploeg
each supplied one goal and one assist. Also in the first period,
defenceman Dennis Asham Jr. netted his first of the season
from Tingey.
In the weekend opener, Indiana Kelly was bombarded and
faced 53 shots against the talented Cochrane Generals (14-8-
1).
However, he turned in one of his best statistical outings of
the season the next night, stopping 36 shots to earn his ninth
win.
The Kings 10th win of the season had to be a relief. As
the losses piled up during the streak, the growing season of
frustration was becoming apparent with the players inside the
locker room.
There was a little panic with a couple of the guys in the
dressing room. We are all trying our best out there, but things
werent going our way, said Kelly. We know we arent the

Strathmore Wheatland Kings leading scorer George Montour sneaks a pass underneath the legs of Cochrane Generals forward
Taylor Girard Dec. 9 at the Strathmore Family Centre.
team thats in the spot we were in. We know we are
a top-three team in this division, we just werent
playing like it.
During that sour stretch, the Kings were stacked
up against some of the best talent in the HJHL. The
six teams they lost to have combined for a 80-45-10
record with a .630 winning percentage.
The Kings (10-9-2) finally caught a break in the
schedule when they hosted the 1-16-0 Thrashers,
who own a minus-101 goal differential.
The blowout win came off the heels of another
tough loss at home Dec. 9, when the Cochrane
Generals downed the Kings 5-2.
The Generals picked apart the Kings, beating
them to pucks in the neutral zone, cycling the puck
down low and snuffing out any potential threats in
their own end.
Leading 3-0 in the second, Kody Hammond sent a
point shot wide off the end boards. The puck took
an odd bounce and came out to the Kings lead-
ing scorer George Montour, who found the rookie
Hnatowich out front for his seventh of the season.
After the two points recorded against the Thrash-
ers, Hnatowich sits second in the HJHL for points
by a 1999-born player with 23.
The Kings cut the Generals lead in half in the
third when Calgarian Ethan Allen scored his first
HJHL goal.
Holmes lost the neutral zone face-off, but Allen
was there to pursue the puck and poked it away
from the defenceman, back to Holmes. The two
embarked on a brief two-on-one, when Holmes slid
back to Allen for the wrist shot from 10 feet out.
It feels amazing to finally get that off my back.
Ive had a few chances this season, but couldnt

bury it, said Allen, who was competing in his
eighth game of the season. I think Ill keep the
puck in my room, maybe put it in a frame one day.
While the Kings were trying to find a way out
of their losing streak, news broke that one of their
veterans, Matt Thomson, chose to step away from
the team.
Thomson was involved in an incident with an
off-ice official Nov. 18 in Red Deer. Following their
7-0 loss to the Vipers, the team suspended Thom-
son indefinitely while they waited to hear the re-
sults of Thomsons hearing with Hockey Alberta.
The hearing concluded that they couldnt prove
whether Thomson was guilty or not and decided
not to suspend him. The Kings welcomed him
back, but Thomson has moved on to the Airdrie
Techmation Thunder of the Northern Division.
Tommy put up points for us and was a physi-
cal presence on the ice, said Desmet. He left our
team, we will not look back on it and dwell on it.
We will move forward and wish him the best mov-
ing forward as well.
In 83 career games with the Kings, Thomson
scored 41 goals, supplied 31 assists and racked up
675 penalty minutes. The Thunder (15-6-2) and the
Kings do not play each other in the remainder of
the regular season.
The Kings will look to build off their recent win-
ning ways when they hit the road for a pair of
games this weekend. On Dec. 15, they will be in
High River to take on the Flyers (12-9-3) at the Bob
Snodgrass Recreation Complex and will head down
to Medicine Hat the following day to take on the
Cubs at Kinplex Arena. The next Kings home game
goes Dec. 23 when they host the Cubs (8-13-0).

Canucks looking for wins and attendance in Strathmore
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
If the Calgary Canucks are to sched-
ule any more games in Strathmore,
they might want to avoid two of the
Alberta Junior Hockey Leagues elite
programs.
Granted, they are two of the closer
franchises to Strathmore, but the Ca-
nucks picked up their second loss this
season in Strathmore when the jugger-
naut Brooks Bandits blanked the host
team 3-0 Dec. 8 at the Strathmore Fam-
ily Centre.
This marked the second of a possible
four games for the Canucks in Strath-
more this season. Back on Nov. 19, the
Okotoks Oilers skated to a 2-1 victory
over the Canucks at the Family Centre.
Unfortunately for the Canucks, two
of the closest AJHL teams to Strath-
more occupy the top two seeds in the
Viterra South Division. The third seed
is also nearby, in the Drumheller Drag-
ons.
The proximity of those franchises
to Strathmore surely played a hand in
selecting which games to move from
the Max Bell Centre to the Family Cen-
tre, as the Canucks continue to test the
market for interest in Junior A hockey.
Despite a strong Bandits contingent
making the one-hour 20-minute drive,
attendance was down 74 people from
the November meeting.
For comparission, last years Ca-
nucks game in Strathmore drew just
over 600 fans. The Strathmore Wheat-
land Kings game Dec. 9 against the
Cochrane Generals drew slightly over
200 fans.
Nothing has changed in the AJHL of-
fice in the past two weeks, as there has

been no news to break about reloca-
tion or expansion of the league.
It would be great for us to have a
team here, said Bandits Head Coach
Ryan Papaioannou. It would be nice
for us to have a short bus ride, we could
develop a good rivalry with the team
and it would be easy for fans to reach
the game in both towns. The Bandits
have been great for a small town like
Brooks and I think Strathmore would
embrace their team the same way.

One source inside the league said
that talk has been there and continues
to be there about Strathmore getting
their own franchise one day. The two
things holding Strathmore back are its
arena and attendance.
Last year, the two Calgary-based
teams, the Canucks and Mustangs, fin-
ished second last and last in average
attendance. The Canucks averaged 221
fans, while the Mustangs bottomed out
at 205, which was a far cry from the
second-best team in attendance, the
Bandits with 1,299.
Even with all the buzz about a AJHL
team one day calling Strathmore home,
there was still a game to be played.
After Mayor Pat Fule addressed the
crowd before a ceremonial puck drop,
the Bandits showed why they continue
to be the class of the league.
The game was dominated by two
players in particular, as Bandits cap-
tain Dennis Cesana had a hand in all
three goals, and Mitch Benson made
27 saves for his fourth shutout of the
season.
Cesana ripped a shot through a
crowd at the 10:06 mark of the first,
and then with less than one minute re-
maining in the second, his low wrister
from the point squeaked past Kolby
Matthews.
The Providence, R.I. product picked
up a secondary assist on the Bandits
third goal in the third period.
Cesana dished the puck down low
to Nolan Thompson, whose initial shot
was blocked by Canucks captain Kyler
Newman to the right of the net. All in
one motion, Thompson kept the puck
alive by grabbing the rebound, circled
around the net and rifled a shot top
corner.
Benson, who committed to Colgate
University earlier that day, made his
toughest stop against Josh Giacomin,
who was awarded a penalty shot after
getting hauled down on a short-hand-
ed breakaway. Giacomin made a sim-
ple move, trying to open up Bensons
five-hole, but was turned away with
2:01 remaining in regulation.
He looked like the Mitch Benson
of old tonight, when he was our best
player last year, said Papaioannou.
He struggled to start the season, but
it looks like it was good for him to
get his college commitment out of the
way.

The Bandits, who have carried the
season series with the Canucks, now
lead the series 4-1, outscoring them 22-
9. Frustrations boiled over in the sec-
ond period when Nic Hamre slammed
into Matthews, who was way out of his
crease to play the puck.
This was the second time in the
past two games that one of their play-
ers ran our goalie. I will be submitting
this to our league and hopefully some-
thing gets done this time, said Ca-
nucks Head Coach Darryl Olsen, who
recently had his interim title removed.
Olsen loves returning to Strathmore,
as he once held hockey camps at the
Family Centre, and his brother Dan
used to coach the UFA Bisons.
One former Bison was recently ac-
quired by the Canucks and was excited
to see one of his home games changed
to his old home rink.
Tyler Petrie spent the past two sea-
sons with the Foothills CFR Chemicals
Bisons. In 64 games, he scored 18
goals and 44 points, and played in 17
playoff games.
Im happy to be in Calgary and be
closer to home, said Petrie, an Airdrie
native. Its nice to come back here, its
fun to remember all the times with the
Bisons over the past two years.
Petrie was with the Fort McMurray
Oil Barons this season, where he ap-
peared in 23 games, scoring a pair of
goals and recording four assists. He
has played in three games with the Ca-
nucks since being acquired Dec. 1.
We were at a point where we had
too many 1998- and 1997-born players;
we needed to get younger, said Olsen.
I liked everything about his game last
year. Hes a big kid, a good kid, and
once he becomes comfortable with us,
Im sure he will be a success.
Petries former teammate on the Bi-
sons, Landon Melzer, was on the Ca-
nucks roster last time the team was in
Strathmore. He was since traded to the
Dragons, where he was released and
has now popped up with the Lloyd-
minster Bobcats of the AJHL.
As of this moment, the Canucks have
not made a decision one way or anoth-
er to move two of their home games
to Strathmore in the New Year. The ice
time is still reserved for the Canucks
on Jan. 20 and Feb. 10, if they choose
to continue the Strathmore series of
games.

The Strathmore Wheatland Kings held their annual food drive during their game against the Three Hills Thrashers Dec. 10 at the Strathmore Family Centre. Donations were collected in a van provided by
Strathmore Ford and delivered to the Wheatland County Food Bank after the game. More than 40 toys were delivered to the Hope Covenant Community Church and 225 pounds of food was dropped off to
the Wheatland County Food Bank. It was estimated the amount of food donated was enough to feed a family of four for a week and a half. Karla Hammond (right photo, l-r), Shelly Stewart, Karissa Hammond,

Junior B to wear full cages in B.C. next year

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Hockey Alberta will not be joining
B.C. Hockey in their decision to make
full-face protection cages mandatory
for Junior B hockey teams next season.
Karin Larsen of CBC News broke a
story last week revealing the decision
to make the full cage the cages play-
ers wear from Timbits Hockey all the
way up to midget hockey manda-
tory for their three Junior B leagues in
B.C. at the start of the 2018-2019 sea-
son.
Our game is faster than it has ever
been, and, as a result, we face increased
challenges and responsibilities relative
to safety, B.C. Hockey CEO Barry Pet-
rochenko told CBC. We are confident
that, through this initiative, facial and
dental injuries will be greatly reduced.
The change will affect 42 B.C. teams,
including the Fort St. John Huskies and
Dawson Creek Junior Canucks who
both play in Albertas North West Ju-
nior Hockey League.
The decision was a controversial one,
to say the least.
I was awfully shocked to see the
announcement. There was no consul-
tation with us about the rule change,
said Golden Rockets Head Coach and
General Manager Jason Stephens of the
Kootenay International Junior Hockey
from, but I think there are more cons
than pros.
Hockey Alberta has reached out fol-
lowing the B.C Hockey decision and
they released this statement from Brad
Lyon, their senior manager, commu-
nications: Hockey Alberta continu-
ally reviews player safety concerns at
all levels of hockey, and these ongo-
ing discussions will determine if any
changes are made for next year. At this
point, Hockey Alberta has not identi-
fied any equipment changes for the
2018-2019 season.
There will forever be the random-
ness of the puck, being shot at incred-
ible speeds with the chance to bounce
off a skate, stick or body into a players
face, causing harm.
The stats are incredibly predictable
when comparing the insurance cost to
players who wear a full cage to those
who only wear the half visor.
As reported in the CBC piece, Hock-
ey Canada released stats from 2010
and 2015. Three hundred and seventy
dental injuries were reported in the
half visor category with claims total-
ling $288,000. Over the same period of
time, players who wore full face pro-
Hosted by the WHEATLAND KINGS
tection only reported eight dental in-
juries with claims of just over $7,500.
On Oct. 28, Busslinger got hit in the
mouth. The force from the check lac-
erated the inside of his mouth. Even
with a mouth guard, he still sustained a
minor injury. Busslinger still competes
as hard as anyone on the ice, sticks his
nose into the dirty areas and doesnt
shy away from blocking shots. He sees
the added protection from the cage
could provide more problems down
the road.
If everyone is wearing a full cage,
guys will become more careless with
their stick. They wont worry about ac-
cidentally clipping people in the face
as much and that could develop bad
habits if people ever move on to the
next level, said Busslinger. Fighting choose, by wearing a wired cage. The
is also allowed in our league. If some-
one delivers a cheap shot, they need to
be held accountable for their actions.
You cant really do that when guys are
wearing the full cage.
Junior B leagues in Alberta could
benefit from the rule change in B.C.
In the KIJHL alone, there are 137 Al-
berta-born players scattered across ac-
tive rosters in 20-team league. If play-
ers are strongly against this new rule
change, they could return to their Al-
berta roots and replenish the talent in
the local Junior B league.
The Heritage Junior Hockey League
has housed the Kings for the entirety
of the franchises existence and did not
have much to say about the new issue.
(This was the) first we have heard
about this change. At this point, we
have no comment on this because
we have not discussed this with our
teams, HJHL Governor Gary Wournell
said via email.
The HJHL has always cared about the
safety of their players. The league re-
quires players to either wear the half or
full-face mask. Players have the option
to protect their well-being if they so
only time players are seen wearing the
cage is if they have an injury to their
face or are an affiliated player.
There is sure to be some backlash
with B.C. Hockeys decision, but play-
ers on the Kings and other Alberta Ju-
nior B teams who cherish the hockey
tradition can sleep easy knowing they
have at least one more season of play-
ing without the wired cage.

the future, but we had no idea that it

I just want to see more reasoning
behind the decision. They provided a

warrant a sudden change.
The reverberations of B.C.s decision
spread quickly into Alberta.
I dont agree with their decision, but
it is what it is, said assistant coach of
the local Junior B Strathmore Wheat-
land Kings Braden Desmet, who played
177 games in the Alberta Junior Hock-
ey League and 63 games in the Cen-
tral Hockey League without a full cage.

Ive heard theres issues with how
much dental insurance is costing them,
and there are some young players in
their leagues that need the protection
of the full-face mask, but its just sad to
see the direction the game is going in.
The B.C. leagues are not the only
leagues with full masks past midget
hockey. All NCAA hockey is played
with a full-face mask.
NCAA hockey isnt for everyone.
Many players choose a path in Junior A

The Strathmore High
School Spartans basket-
ball programs didnt come
home empty handed from
the Boston Pizza Classic
tournament last weekend
in Camrose.
The senior girls pro-
gram opened the tourney
with a pair of losses, but
salvaged the weekend
with a 50-32 victory over
the Lloydminster Compre-
hensive High School Bar-
ons Dec. 9.
Senior Allie Davidson
led the Spartans with 19
points on 6-of-21 shoot-
ing, that included a pair
of threes and three steals.
We definitely took one
step forward in that last
game. We came together a
little bit and looked better
offensively, said Spartans
Head Coach Kyle Larson.
The better ball move-
ment and attacking of the
basket opened up our of-
fence. We had our shoot-
ers catching passes in bet-
ter spots on the floor to
shoot the ball.
The Spartans struggled
in the tourney opener,
losing 60-32 to the St. Pe-
ter the Apostle Catholic
School Spartans Dec. 8 at
the cole Camrose Com-
posite High School.
Held to single figures in
each quarter, Kaylin Lar-
son led the charge by can-
ning three triples and hit-
ting one from the floor for
nine points. Sydney Boyd
wasnt seeing her shots
fall, only going 2-for-20
from the floor, but got to
the free throw line eight
times.
Its not so much a new ing 89-68 to the Wetaski-

different things. We have
a lot of growing to do
