on the addition of the mandatory first aid cer-
tificate requirement to the town’s taxi bylaw, a
local cab company continued its service within
Strathmore in defiance of the bylaw, resulting in
both parties engaging in formal legal action.
According to the Town of Strathmore, all ex-
isting taxi companies within the town have been
operating illegally since Jan. 31 as no business
licenses have been issued or renewed, thus re-
sulting in taxi companies operating without the
required permits and receiving multiple tickets.
A year ago, Bylaw 16-14 received a stamp of
approval with amendments, including inspections
for vehicles, ensuring a smoke-free environment
and criminal background checks. Throughout the
process administration and the taxi companies
discussed the amendments and gained some in-
put. The town extended its deadline for drivers
to allow for first aid training and agreed to cover
the cost associated with training by waiving the
yearly driver fee.
However, taxi company owners felt the require-
ment posed a safety concern for their drivers and
an obligation to use the training, while being ac-
companied with too many legal implications. In
turn, the town assured the companies before the
bylaw was passed that under the Emergency Med-
ical Aid Act, a person cannot be held liable for
administering first aid in good faith and they are
not obligated to use their skills in an emergency.
Without the proper permits, the town said lo-
cal taxi companies are currently displaying illegal
decals and operating in non-compliance with ve-
hicle safety regulations, business licensing obliga-
tions and driver regulations.
“The taxi drivers have not come in for their per-
mits, they and the company continue to operate
illegally,” said Mayor Pat Fule. “We continue to
ticket them as we prepare our case. We do not
understand why the company would continue to
disobey bylaws they helped create, as part of the
taxi bylaw committee. Lastly, the companies had
a year to prepare for and implement the chang-
es. We want successful taxi companies, but they
should have clean, smoke free vehicles that are
also mechanically sound.” Luck of the Irish!
While details remain scarce, formal legal action The Ulmer School of Irish Dancing from Langdon performed some traditional Irish dances
has been taken against the companies as a result to seniors at Wheatland Lodge and AgeCare Sagewood in Strathmore on March 16. See
of continued operations. Page 2 for more photos.

Wheatland Crisis Shelter accepts provincial award
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
The prevention of domestic violence
regardless of gender has been the cor-
nerstone of the Wheatland Crisis Soci-
ety (WCS) since its inception.
That rationale distinguished the non-
profit organization in the province and
led to the 2017 Government of Alberta
Inspiration Award for Excellence and
Innovation.
A total of 14 inspiration awards were
handed out to groups and individuals
in southern Alberta who have dedi-
cated and demonstrated excellence of
working in sectors to address violence,
promoting public education about
healthy relationships and partnering
with Alberta’s diverse communities.
Wheatland Crisis Society, nominat-
ed by Calgary-based Sagesse Domes-
tic Violence Prevention Society, was
informed of the award in November
2017, but officially received the award
on March 9.
“It’s a pretty bold and proud moment
in our history and programming mov-
ing forward, because for 25 years we’ve
looked at domestic violence as a crime
against humanity and never looked at
it through a gender-based lens,” said
Wanda McGinnis, chief executive offi-
cer with Wheatland Crisis Society.
“Finally, somebody has recognized
that the work we’re doing is impor-
tant and that including all people is
an important way to look at domestic
violence. Our founders looked at it as
if people are living in an unsafe abu-
sive relationship; we want to make sure
they have somewhere that they can go
so we’ve always been pioneers.”
Having just surpassed a milestone
birthday of 25 years, the shelter serves

Standard Bighorns Club hosts famous hunter
The Standard Bighorns Club celebrated their 54th year of operation by host-

as a staple in the Strathmore commu-
nity in providing ongoing support and
services to men, women and children
affected by family abuse. The society
provides counselling, referrals, shelter,
public education and outreach to in-
dividuals affected by abuse no matter
their gender, age, race, religion, socio-
economic status, sexuality, marital sta-
tus, or mental and physical ability.
For crisis manager Erin Harwood, the
organization’s ongoing and progressive
approach allow her to make a differ-
ence in the community.
“The majority of people who were
there (awards ceremony) were all about
domestic or family violence; and they
were all great candidates and everyone
deserved to win. But I think the differ-
ence between us (and them) was that
we were the only ones that were there
for inclusive practices,” Harwood said.
“I feel honoured because you go into
this work hoping that you’ll get to make
a change in the world, and it’s nice to
work in an agency and community that
allows you to do that kind of work.”
Nominees were measured against
criteria of showing community lead-
ership, enhancing access to services
and supports, changing organizational
practices, promoting public education
of healthy relationships and gender
equity, working in partnership across
sectors to address violence, develop-
ing primary prevention strategies and
partnering with the province’s diverse
communities. An Inspiration Awards

ministerial and community partners –

HCC says
#enough and
shows support
for U.S. students
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Nearly 100 Holy Cross Collegiate
(HCC) high school students participat-
ed in a walkout on March 14 to show
solidarity and pay tribute to the victims
who lost their lives at Florida’s Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School one
month ago.
The Strathmore students joined thou-
sands of individuals across the Unit-
ed States who walked out of class on
Wednesday, pushing for tighter gun
laws after 17 people were killed and
no fewer than 14 people were injured
at the Florida school following a mass
shooting on Feb. 14.
On March 14 at 10 a.m., a majority
of the HCC Grade 10 to 12 students,
along with school principal Lavern Ev-
ans and approximately seven teachers,
stood outside the facility for 17 minutes
– one minute for each Florida student
who lost their life that day.
“We just thought it would be really
good for our students to support the
kids in the United States in their effort
to make their school safer… and just
because they’re young doesn’t mean
they don’t have good ideas,” said Sarah
Haughey, music director with HCC.
“I think it’s good that you have a
world view that you understand every-
body’s lives are not easy and that some
things that we take for granted, like
education and being safe at school, are
not a reality for some students and it’s
not just in the United States.”
Although shootings at universities
and schools are rare in Canada, Cana-
dians have mourned loss of life due to
school shootings over the past few de-
cades including incidents in Saskatche-
wan, Quebec, Toronto, Montreal, Taber
and Edmonton.
A month after the Marjory Stone-
man Douglas High School shooting,
students and activists have called on
students from around the United States
to command action with efforts result-
ing in the National School Walkout on
March 14 as well as the anticipated
March for Our Lives on March 24.
Haughey heard that some school
divisions in the United States banned
the walkout, fearing for their students’
safety. While Haughey hoped everyone
had a chance to participate in the walk-
out in the United States, the students
stood in silence in honour of those
who couldn’t themselves.

sions hosted their third annual St. Patrick’s Day

Capsule Comments
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in the
discovery of new drugs. AI will shorten the length
of time it takes to find a new drug molecule that is
safe and effective and the hoped for end result will
be drugs that will be much less expensive. Often
thousands of molecules are tested to find one that
shows promise. Using AI, perhaps only a few
hundred need to be checked and much more quickly
than before.
One of the most counterfeited drugs in the world is
the first drug released for male erectile dysfunction,
that is Viagra®. The internet abounds with ads
purporting to treat this problem and the products
looks like the real thing but often are not. There is a
move in the U.K. to move this drug from prescription
only to “pharmacy only”. A prescription won’t
be needed but the patient will be screened by the
pharmacist to ensure the drug is compatible with the
patient’s medical history.
Sufferers of Huntington’s Disease (HD) and their
families will be heartened by a recent discovery of a
drug that stops a gene from producing a toxic protein
that plays a role in the progression of this devastating
neurological disease. Up to now, there was nothing
available to help HD patients except trying to manage
the disease symptoms. Now there is hope. It’s early
times and clinical trials are still going on but early
results are very encouraging.
Some herbal products can interact with prescription
blood thinners like warfarin. You don’t have to stop
using herbs like feverfew, ginkgo, garlic and ginger
but tell your doctor. If you take an herb daily, any
interaction can be dealt with by adjusting the blood-
thinner dose.

we weren’t expecting to win any (awards); but
best beer in Alberta – that was very surprising
and pretty cool,” said Geeraert. “In 2016, Troubled
Monk won silver in the World Beer Competition
for their brown ale and we actually beat them. For
us, that was positive affirmation that we’re doing
a good job.
“The malt side of things is really taking off.
We’re barely keeping up with demand on the malt
side of things right now and in the brewery the
local support has been phenomenal; we cannot
keep up at all. I mean it’s a great problem to have.”
Origin Malting & Brewing Co. submitted 15 of
their more than 30 locally brewed styles of beer
to the Alberta Small Brewers Association, where
certified beer judges performed a blind taste test
to pick the 2018 winners during the association’s
first Alberta Beer Awards. All the beers are brewed
using craft malt that is locally grown on their fifth-
generation family farm and malted in Strathmore.
Last November, the establishment’s head brewer
Nick Patterson – who has no professional training
– sat down with members of Strathmore’s Roy-
al Canadian Legion and came up with a recipe
to mimic a traditional English brown ale as was
popular during the world wars. The Last Post was
brewed for Remembrance Day with proceeds fun-
nelled into the local poppy fund, and became the
taproom’s first brown ale.
“We just designed the beer to be for our fund-

it again and make it potentially a full time beer;
now that we got this recognition for it we pretty
much have to,” said Patterson with a chuckle.
“I don’t make beer to win awards; we just make
beer that we like to drink and think is well done.
So, it’s definitely humbling to know that the peo-
ple who were also in the competition were large
breweries that have a handful of brewers design-
ing beers and have multiple people involved, and
not just one person plugging away. It’s definitely
unexpected.”
Origin Malting & Brewing Co. first started brew-
ing July 14, 2017 and opened the brewery and
taproom during the August long weekend. In sev-
en months, the brewery has already hit their first-
year projections on litres sold and have made 80
different brews. Their product can also be found
at the Strathmore Curling Rink and Strathmore
Family Centre, and will be at this year’s Strath-
more Stampede and Heritage Days.
According to Geeraert, over the next six months
Origin Malting beer will be featured all over Al-
berta, and the company is looking into collaborat-
ing on various projects with breweries from the
United States and British Columbia.
However, local roots play a big part for the own-
ers, who have a strong presence in the Strathmore
community and have donated thousands of dol-
lars back to different charities and organizations
with profits from specifically crafted beers.
“Origin Malting & Brewing Co. made a name
for themselves in Strathmore and Wheatland
County very quickly,” said Lawrence Carriere, ex-
ecutive director with the Strathmore and District
Chamber of Commerce, which will have samples
of the beer at their Not Your Grandfather’s AGM
on March 26.
“Now being recognized on a provincial level is
a tremendous achievement. Albertans don’t just
love their beer, they’re proud of it, and this sort of
award will put Strathmore on the map as a place
to get a top-quality craft beer.”
More than 300 beers were entered into 22 cat-
egories at the competition on March 14. Origin
Malting & Brewing Co. competed against beer
from well-accomplished breweries such as Big
Rock Brewery, Troubled Monk Brewery and Wil-
drose Brewery.
On Feb. 28, the Legal Issues Scottish Ale also
won first place for favourite beer at the Science
of the Six Pack.
Marketing Digital and Taproom Manager Me-
leah Geeraert is aware of the brewery’s place in
the wolf pack and knows it’s full steam ahead.
“I think we’re one of the only companies that
do it from beginning to end to prove our malt,
and we’re not doing much distribution because
how much we’re pushing our system and spit-
ting out as much as we can with our brewery,”
she said. “We’re just keeping up and that’s such a
good thing and that’s a huge shoutout to our local
support, because that’s mostly being sold out of
our taproom alone. We just want to make Strath-
more proud and have a great atmosphere here.
We’re not going to slow down any time soon.”

Business owner concerned about

downtown parking time limit extension
BRADY GROVE
Times Contributor
Residents of Strathmore are now able to enjoy an
additional hour of parking in the downtown core
as town council passed an amendment to the by-
law on March 7 in a 4-3 vote.
However, local business owner Brian Code is
concerned it will negatively affect the traffic flow
for businesses.
“It’s such a retail unfriendly approach,” said
Code, owner of Strathmore’s Florist. “When you re-
move accessibility you remove the retail competi-
tive advantage.”
The downtown parking limit was increased to
three hours from two hours. Code is worried the
additional hour may prevent some people from
finding parking, thus prompting them to seek busi-
nesses out of the downtown core instead.
“If 20 or 30 people plug up the parking down-
town then parking becomes a massive issue,” said
Code. “I’m a little saddened the town has wasted all
this time discussing something that is a non-issue.”
A lack of consultation with business owners in
the downtown core over the parking time limit
bothered Code. He would like to see the town
leave the bylaw the way it is with a two-hour limit
and said he hadn’t discussed his issues with other
business owners but wanted everyone to thrive.
Councillor Denise Peterson voted against increas-
ing the time-limit and was concerned the change
would negatively affect the flow of commerce in
the area.
“We are still very much a driving society,” said
Councillor Peterson. “Having access to parking

According to a report given to council on March @gmail.com
7, Councillor Bob Sobol was provided with a peti-
tion from some business owners in the downtown
core requesting the removal of time restricted park-

Concerns around the petition included the docu- & Drinking Water Systems
ment not following the legal rules for municipal
petitions, but Councillor Sobol felt enough resi-
dents had voiced their opinions that he would be
doing a disservice by not bringing it forward.
“I didn’t bring this to council, it was something
that was brought to council through me by mem-
bers of the community,” said Sobol.
Sobol disagreed the increased parking limit
would hurt businesses and said he thinks it will
actually help business because residents would
have more time to do shopping and run errands
downtown.
“I supported it because I believed what the busi-
ness people of downtown were saying which was
the two hour parking limit was limiting their clients
to spend time in the downtown area,” said Sobol.
“I really felt like that argument was contrary to
what we were trying to do downtown, which is to
inspire and encourage people to shop downtown
and support our local business people.”
According to the town nothing has changed in
regards to enforcement, and the current enforce-
ment of the parking limit is on a complaint basis.

Strathmore library prepares
for spring break
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
The Strathmore Municipal Library is
not a science laboratory. Yet in April,
mini explosions, thermodynamics and
rainbows on paper will attract atten-
tion during spring break when the li-
brary ensures family-friendly program-
ming throughout the week.
The Mad Science Madness program
is among the new initiatives being in-
troduced alongside Pick Your Own
Program Day where children and their
families have the opportunity to dis-
cover new talents as they explore a se-
lection of self-guided creation stations.
“I’ve honestly wanted to host a sci-
ence program for a very long time, be-
cause I’ve always thought that science
was very cool and I think kids love
cool science experiments,” said Car-
men Erison, assistant director of library
services at the Strathmore Municipal
Library. “We have great programs that
are with the arts and acting, and craft-
ing and reading, and all of these won-
derful subjects. But we don’t have a
whole lot with science, and that’s why
we wanted to go with something like
this.”
In conjunction with the new pro-
grams, the local library is also bring-
ing back Get Your Game On with giant
board games including Jenga, Snakes
and Ladders, Connect 4 and Checkers.
Friday Fun Film also returns with a
Disney movie from 1997, and the cre-
ative juices are already flowing in an-
ticipation of the fourth annual Edible
Book Day contest.
“When we first started Edible Book
Day, people didn’t quite know what to
expect. But now as this is our fourth
year hosting it, I think people are get-
ting more excited and looking to up the
ante every year,” Erison said. “So we’re
seeing more creative entries each year.
I just can’t wait to see what we get this
year. It’s strictly voted on by the public.
Even if you are not entering into the
contest, come by the library and come
support these artists, these wizards of
food, because there are some excellent
entries and they should get that recog-
nition by people coming to see them.”
Last year the library received ap-
proximately a dozen entries in the chil-
dren’s category and nearly 60 votes.
While the adult category is slowly
growing in popularity, incentives this
year are a $50 gift card to Toys R Us for
the 15-year-old and younger category,
Fine Arts Afternoon
Ecole Brentwood Elementary School held its sixth annual Fine Arts Afternoon on March 15. The event
included an art gallery featuring drawings and crafts created by the students, a multi-guitar perfor-
mance with students and staff, dancing and performances by all three Brentwood choirs.
a $50 Visa gift card for the 16-year-old
and older category and a $50 Telus
Spark gift card for the family category.
There is one winner for each category.
Get Your Game On kicks off the week
on April 3 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The
program is free to attend, and an adult
or older responsible sibling must ac-
company children under eight years of
age. On April 4, the library hosts Pick
Your Own Program Day from 1 to 4
p.m. The program is free to attend and
no registration is necessary. Mad Sci-
ence Madness will take place on April
5 for 30 participants. Registration starts
on March 19. It is a free program for
children 8 and older. The Friday Fun
Film happens on April 6 from 1 to 3
p.m. Check out the Strathmore Munici-
pal Library Facebook page for movie
details. The week will finish off with
the Edible Book Day contest on April
7. Entries will be accepted from 5 p.m.
on April 6 until noon on April 7. Pub-
lic viewing and voting will take place
from noon until 1:30 p.m. on April 7.
Prizes are awarded at 2 p.m. For more

SHS alumni win University of
Alberta Augustana scholarships
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Over the years, certain students’
photos make it onto the wall of Karen
Harris’ office, one of Strathmore High
School’s (SHS) guidance counsellors.
One of those photos belongs to
fourth year University of Alberta (U
of A) Augustana Campus student Mo-
fiyinfoluwa (Dami) Lawal who, while
at SHS, made a lasting impression on
staff with her enthusiasm, loud voice,
and academically motivated and com-
munity conscious mind.
Lawal is one of three SHS alumni at
the campus that continue to contrib-
ute to the high school’s pride by ex-
celling in their academic achievements
and school involvement, having been
awarded scholarships this year.
Lawal, her brother Joshua Lawal and
Lane Anderson are among 346 U of
A Augustana students who received
awards for the 2017-18 academic year.
A total of $749,500 was provided
to the U of A and Augustana Campus
to recognize excellence in academics,
athletics, fine arts and leadership.
Lawal, who is in her fourth year
Bachelor of Science with a major in Ki-
nesiology and Physical Education and
a minor in Biology, received a total of
$2,000 through the Rathnavalu Family
Award in student leadership, as well as
the Rotary Club of Camrose Scholar-
ship. Furthermore, she was the recipi-
ent of the $1,000 Jason Lang Scholar-
ship.
With a GPA of 3.8, the SHS alum has
dedicated the last four years to volun-
teering. Some of her leadership roles
include volunteering with hospitals,
helping international students and act-
ing as a peer mentor, starting a dance
group, and taking on the role of resi-
dent assistant as well as campus am-
bassador for prospective students. The
scholarship money has already less-
ened her financial burden towards her
aspirations of applying to grad school
and pursuing medicine.

of people apply for these things, and

(to volunteer) because people did give
to me, they helped, they reminded me
that it’s important to help out where
you can. In high school when I first
moved here I didn’t know the impor-
tance of volunteering. They challenged
me to grow into all these roles in high
school.”
Lawal was born and raised in Nigeria
and moved with her family to Strath-
more in 2011. Education was always
important to Lawal and she credits
Harris for steering her towards U of A
Augustana Campus and helping with
the application process.

“Dami is quite the character, was
quite a treat to teach, and was always
very academically motivated but very
conscious about the school as well,”
said Harris.
“Strathmore High School has a long

Kings hand out
yearly awards
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Wheatland Kings put a bow on their
2017-18 season with their annual year-end banquet,
highlighted by a pair of first-year players taking home
the majority of the hardware.
For the second straight season, the Kings lost out in
the first round of the Heritage Junior Hockey League
playoffs, but that was all forgotten as players and team
officials, along with family members, friends and spon-
sors, gathered to celebrate another season of Junior B
hockey.
The voice of the Kings, Dennis Stewart, hosted the
dinner and awards event. The meal was provided by the
Strathmore Elks Club, as a montage of photos from this
past season played in the background.
Rookie centre Chayse Hnatowich was the big winner
on the evening, as he was the recipient of the Top Rook-
ie and Top Scorer awards.
“Working with Chayse two years ago in the Wheatland
Association made it real easy for him to fit in with us.
I wish we could get more guys to come from that pro-
gram, but to grab him was big,” said Kings Head Coach
Shadoe Stoodley. “I know the coaches he has worked
with the past two years and they coach in a similar way
to what we do, so the adjustment for him into our style
was pretty easy.”
The 18-year-old Hnatowich suited up in all 36 regular
season games and was second on the Kings with 14
goals and 18 points, trailing only George Montour with
37 points.
“I had a little slower start to my season than I would
have liked, but I adjusted to the league and it became
a lot easier from there,” said Hnatowich. “I’d say I got
comfortable in the league after I got my first hat trick
against Ponoka. That really kicked off my season.”
Austin Holmes spent the first two years of his HJHL
career bobbing in and out of the lineup with the Coal-
dale Copperheads before coming to the Kings this sea-
son. Another regular in the lineup, Holmes played 35
games, registering 11 goals and 12 assists for a career
high of 23 points. At the banquet, he was recognized as
the Most Valuable Player.
“I was a little surprised to win the award. My team
really made it easy to play for this team. It wasn’t that
difficult to fit in here. It was a great chance to come play
good hockey and have fun while doing it. It was an easy
group to fit in with,” said Holmes.
“Austin was one of our key players that we could stick
out on the power play, penalty kill, the last shift of the
game or the first shift of the game. Any time we sent
him over the boards, we felt safe about the game at that
time,” said Stoodley.

tween a pair of alternate captains. Both having a bigger

SPORTS Bantam girls skate
at provincials
TYLER LOWEY

One of the youngest bantam teams
in the Rocky Mountain Female Hockey
League picked up a whole heap of expe-
rience last weekend.
The Strathmore Storm bantam B girls
might not have earned the result they de-
sired, but they put forth a strong show-

“Overall, we were quite pleased with

Strathmore Ice improve provincial ranking

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
A pair of Strathmore ringette teams enhanced their pro-
vincial ranking last weekend, competing in their respected
year-end tourneys in Sherwood Park.
The U12A Ice entered their provincial tournament with the
lowest rank of the 12 teams, but improved to 10th after five
games and could have seen their ranking improve if a couple
close games went their way.

During our time in Strathmore we have had the honour to provide over
52,180 individualized services to job seekers, deliver 2,645 workshops,
and host 11 very successful job fairs. We were nominated for 4 awards

It has been our pleasure providing support to clients, community
partners and employers.
We would like to thank the community for everything; we have greatly
enjoyed being your neighbour and part of such a wonderful town.
Regards,
McBride Career Group – Strathmore
“We battled a lot of teams right down to the end
regardless of the score. We had a smaller team,
but they competed hard and left it all on the ice,”
said Ice Head Coach Wes Clark.
The Ice opened the weekend by battling the
Northwest Calgary Edge 0-0 until deep into the
second and final period. The Edge prevailed, scor-
ing three goals down the stretch to blank the Ice.
Up next, the Ice crushed the Bow View Blitz 5-0
to boost them into second in the pool.
A 7-1 loss to the Red Deer Rush in the final
round robin game sent the Ice into the dreaded
tiebreaker. The result saw them draw the South
Calgary Thunder in the B semifinal. The Ice trailed
3-0 and battled back to tie it at four. In the end,
they couldn’t keep up with the Calgary squad and
fell 6-5.
“We only have 10 skaters on our team, including
our goalie,” said Clark. “We were going up against
teams with 12 skaters and a goalie. At that point,
we had played four games in 36 hours and they
were a little burnt out.”
The semifinal loss dropped them into the 9th
place game, where they took on the St. Albert
Storm and lost 7-2.
“It was a pretty good year for our team,” said
Clark. “We won silver in Beaumont, gold in La-
combe, bronze at the Silver Ring tourney in Ed-
monton and took silver in our home tournament.
The girls have a lot to be proud of.”
The Ice wrap up their season March 23 when
they host Airdrie at the Strathmore Family Centre
for the zone banner.
BATTLE TO THE END
The U14B Ice were also in Sherwood Park last
weekend, and while they improved their ranking,
they left desiring a better fate.
“It was a great weekend and the girls played
awesome, but when you look at the top four
teams after the weekend, we beat all but one of
them at some point this season,” said Ice Manager
Charla Flett. “It’s nice to that we could play with
any team in the province.”
The Ice were 1-2 after a round robin slate that
saw them lose a nail-biter to the Hussar Fireworks
6-5. They bounced back with an 8-6 victory over
Lethbridge, only to drop their final qualification
game 7-3 to the eventual provincial champions
Lacombe Edge.
The Ice saw the most exciting game of the week-
end take place against the Medicine Hat Rouge in
the crossover playoff game.
Trailing 3-0, the Ice clawed back into it and lead
5-3, only to see the Rouge tie the game and force
overtime with four seconds remaining in regula-
tion.
“We had played that Medicine Hat team three
times this year and lost all three by a substan-
tial margin,” said Ice Head Coach Ben Sader. “We
knew they were the team to beat all year, so to
come back and knock them off was pretty special
and one of the highlights of our season.”
The Ice didn’t wait around to end it in overtime.
After being awarded the ring on a coin toss, the
Ice sent Reghan Tait dashing into the Rouge zone,
as she ripped a shot top corner for the win.
The dramatic win catapulted the Ice into the 7th
place game, where they were matched up with
the Spruce Grove Storm. The Ice put a cap on the
weekend with a solid 3-2 win, to place seventh
out of 30 teams in the province.
“The girls played great all year long,” said Sad-
er. “All year, they were willing to work hard the
entire game, be a hard team to play against and
checked all three zones really well. It was a total
defensive effort all year by the girls and it was
great to see it pay off.”

Tigers edge Warriors in SCAHL thriller
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Family Centre has
housed some great and memorable
playoff hockey games over the years.
On March 17, the Wheatland Warriors
added their name to the list of the great-
est games ever played in Strathmore.
The only problem was that they came
out on the wrong end of things.
With a trip to the provincial tourna-
ment on the line, the local double-A
team was shaved 2-1 in double over-
time by the West Central Tigers, end-
ing their South Central Alberta Hockey
League season.
“It was a feather in their cap just to
get here and I am proud of them for
that,” said Warriors Head Coach Cody
Brown. “Every guy in that room left it
all out there and that’s all you can ask
at this point.”
The Tigers took Game 1 of the best-
of-three league final 5-1 one day earlier
in Sylvan Lake.
With the Warriors back up against the
wall, they hung on by their fingernails
in the first half of the opening frame.
Lachlan Stewart took a double mi-
nor for head contact shortly after puck
drop, as the Tigers swarmed the offen-
sive end, but couldn’t find the back of
the net. At one point in the first, the
visiting squad led 11-2 in shots and
wouldn’t let the Warriors gain an inch.
The Warriors began to find their foot-
ing in the second half of the frame, as
Ray Warrack, Domenic Ficaccio and
Brayden Ledrew all had breakaway
chances, but were all stymied by Kaden
Toussaint.
Disaster struck shortly after, when
Dylan Fries-Abel went to cover a dump
in by Ryan Datema, only to have the
puck slip under the heel of his glove
and trickle into the back of the net.
The crowd, which was a 50-50 split
between Warrior and Tiger fans, and
resembled a Strathmore Bison crowd,
erupted at the opening goal.
“Dylan was the guy we had to ride.
He was a big reason we won the south
tourney and the hot hand to go with,”
said Brown. “Last night wasn’t a 5-1
game, it was 2-1 until late in the third
when a couple flukers went past him
and weren’t his fault. He was the guy
we had to have out there.”
The Tigers looked to extend their
lead following a Warriors power play

Former Bisons wrap up successful WHL campaigns

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Life in the Western Hockey League can be tough
at times, even for a high bantam draft pick that
excelled at the midget AAA level.
For the Millarville product and former Foothills
CFR Chemicals Bisons forward Zach Huber, it took
longer than he would have liked to get his career
going with the Calgary Hitmen.
It was a big year for Huber, as he entered the all-
important 17-year-old season. Getting reassigned
by the team for a second straight year would have
all but ended the possibility of him carving out a
career in the WHL. Luckily, he broke camp with
the team last September and remained with them
throughout the entire season.
“I was super excited to make the team,” said
Huber. “I worked all summer for this and I wanted
to be here as soon as possible. I put my work in to
be an everyday guy here in the lineup.”
Making the team is one thing. Turning into a
contributor is another.
Working with a new head coach and general
manager, Huber struggled to be a mainstay in the
lineup in the first half of the season.
“It was definitely frustrating,” said Huber. “I’m a
competitor and I wanted to be in the lineup. But I
soon realized that most young guys in the league
go through the same thing. Hopefully next year is
a different story.”
After being the trigger man alongside Peyton
Krebs last season and racking up 35 points in 33
games, Huber struggled to find the back of the
net. It was only until the final weeks of the sea-
son where Huber scored his first career WHL goal.
Two nights later, he added his second of his ca-
reer. That all wrapped up a stretch where his line
was playing better defensively and he dropped the
mitts in his first career fight.
“It just kind of happened. We were cross-check-
ing each other and the adrenaline took over when
he asked me to go,” said Huber. “This year proved
that things take time and it’s hard work to produce
in this league. Hopefully it comes more often next
season.”
Huber wasn’t the only member of the 2016-17
Bisons to struggle in the scoring department this
season.
Last year’s overtime hero Brandon Machado
went 37 games before he found the back of the
net against Huber’s Hitmen. Playing 60 games for
the Saskatoon Blades this season, Machado added
three more assists to his total.
Cole Clayton was in a similar position as Hu-
ber: a 17-year-old who got cut the year prior and
looking to make an impact with the Medicine Hat
Tigers this year.
He was also in and out of the lineup, being one
of the younger guys on the roster. Injuries opened
the door for playing time, as he registered two
goals and seven points in 56 games for the Central
Division-winning Tigers. They now host the Bran-
don Wheat Kings in the first round best-of-seven
series.
Clayton’s teammate, Gary Haden, had a much
more impactful year as an 18-year-old in the line-
up. He smashed his career high of eight points
by sniping 17 goals and adding 25 assists in 70
games.
Making the difficult jump from the Alberta
Midget Hockey League to the WHL at the age of
16 was Tarun Fizer of the Victoria Royals. Fizer ap-
peared in 45 games, scored two goals to go with
five assists. The Royals finished second in the B.C.
Division and will take on the Vancouver Giants in
the first round of playoffs.

Standard “Toys” on ice entertain

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
This year, 31 children enrolled in Standard’s
CanSkate program participated in the year-end
“Toys”-themed carnival on March 18 with the help
of five junior high and high school program as-
sistants – two of which were enrolled in the more
advanced StarSkate program.
The Standard Figure Skating Club and the Can-
Skate program have been a staple activity for chil-
dren in the community of Standard for many years.
During the carnival, children aged two and over
in oversized and flashy costumes showed off the
skating techniques they have spent the last six
months learning to a large audience. Sometimes
they fell, but they all had the courage to get back
up and keep skating.
Although last year the club had a large leap in
enrollment with over 40 members, a few years ago
the club was struggling to keep their base mem-
bership, with less than 20 young skaters.
“Carnival is always fun and is something they
look forward to. When you have skaters say to you
‘that was fun, I want to do it again,’ all the hard
work it takes is well worth it,” said Sonja Koustrup,
Standard skating coach for 13 years. She added
that the carnival helps the children get a feeling of
what it is like to skate in front of a group of peo-
ple, and that they get to learn and work on syn-
chronized skating – which can open up a whole
new world of skating.
During this year’s carnival, skaters ice danced
in costumes and to music based on Candyland,
teddy bears, Lego, spinning tops, Pokémon, Star
Wars, technology, Disney’s Cars, toy guns and John
Deere tractors.
The costumes were fun and bright, and the chil-
dren showed off skills such as skating forward and
backward, spinning, skating on one foot or two
feet, stopping, glides, spirals, drags, and even a
complicated shoot the duck where skaters crouch
down on one foot while their second foot is held
