spring 2019 workshop/presentation on March 2 that
will focus on recognizing and treating diseases in
trees and shrubs.
The workshop kicks off Communities in Bloom’s
year, following a very successful 2018 in which the
program received five “blooms” from judges after
evaluation.
Communities in Bloom (CIB) is a Canadian
non-profit organization committed to fostering civic
pride, environmental responsibility and beautifica-
tion through community involvement and the chal-
lenge of a national program, with focus on the en-
hancement of green spaces in communities.
In early August, CIB judges visited the community
and rated it based on several criteria.
“Our overall grade was 82 per cent with our
strengths being floral displays, environmental ac-
tion, tidiness and urban forestry. Our weakest areas
were in heritage conservation and landscapes,” said
Rob Pirie with Strathmore CIB during a presentation
before Strathmore town council earlier this month.
“In the overall summary, the judges were impressed
with (Strathmore town) council for its transparency
(and) its planning, in particular the downtown re-
vitalization.”
Strathmore CIB was formed in 2005. Since then,
the group has hosted judges periodically to view
and rate the town on criteria set out by the national
program.
Last year (2018) was the first time the group re-
ceived five blooms, the most a community can re-
ceive.
According to Pirie, the judge’s summary page out-
lined observations and recommendations for the
group to consider going forward.
“Many of the recommendations are already be-
ing acted upon,” he noted. “For example, the judg- Westmount Chief Council Inauguration

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Speed limit concerns
To the Editor
Last fall a test project was implemented to reduce
the speed limit on Centre Street and Cambridge Glen
Drive from 50 km/h to 40 km/h. A survey is now be-
ing conducted to assess the public’s feelings about this
speed reduction. I have heard complaints about the
loss of valuable time.
Here are some interesting calculations: the distance
from Centennial Drive to Parklane Drive via Centre
Street is 0.5 mile or .805 km. If this distance is driven
without stopping at exactly 50km/h it will take 58 sec-
onds. At 40 km/h it will take 71 seconds. If one feels
the loss of these 13 seconds are impacting their day
then I suggest you may wish to depart one minute
earlier and bank your saved time.
I encourage our town council to undertake imple-
menting speed limits in town as follows:
Snow and blowing wind brings out snow angels
To the Editor
I can’t say enough how I appreciate the brave souls
that go out and shovel snow off their neighbour’s
walks in Strathmore.
There is someone on Greenview Crescent that quiet-
ly removes accumulated snow, sometimes without be-
ing seen! Not only is the sidewalk in front of the house
cleared, they often remove drifts from garage doors
and roadway parking slots. As a needy beneficiary of
this help, it has helped me to attend appointments, get
out for groceries and pick up prescriptions on many
snow-filled days.
I often ask neighbours if they were my snow angel,
and they either don’t admit it, or really haven’t seen
the caring arms that heave all that snow into piles. So
since there never seems to be the opportunity to thank
them, this is it! I am sure there are others in Strathmore
experiencing similar blessings from good neighbours.
I have said it before and emphasize it again, I am so
thankful for the community spirit in Strathmore that
has one person caring for another’s welfare. It is rare
in some communities and in an age where self-interest
is so promoted. A caring gesture is enough to bring
light and warmth to another, reinforcing that there is
goodness in human’s nature.
With the discontinued snow clearing services from
Strathmore Family and Community Support Services
(SFCSS), snow removal can mean the difference of be-
ing shut in or not.
SNC Lavalin affair
MARTIN SHIELDS
Member of Parliament Bow River Riding
The last two weeks in Canadian politics have
been explosive. Almost every day, new bombshell
developments have come to light in the SNC Lava-
lin affair.
Allegations against Justin Trudeau’s Prime Minis-
ter’s Office were first published in the Globe and
Mail. The initial claim was that the Prime Minis-
ter’s Office attempted to pressure Jody Wilson-Ray-
bould, who was then justice minister, to intervene
in the prosecution of Montreal engineering and
construction giant SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.
Jody Wilson-Raybould was later fired from her
job. The question is: did the Prime Minister relieve
Wilson-Raybould of her duties because she refused
to intervene in the criminal case? The Prime Minis-
ter initially claimed that because Wilson-Raybould
was still in cabinet, she had full confidence in the
government.
Then, Wilson-Raybould resigned from cabinet.
Canadians need to know the facts in this unprec-
edented case. Yet the Prime Minister has respond-
ed only with vague statements and legal jargon.
The Prime Minister promised his government
would be the most transparent in Canadian history.
Needless to say, this is not transparency. These are
the actions of a government desperately trying to

Like other municipalities, SFCSS have given out snow
angel request posters for those in need to hang in their
windows, with the expectation and hope Strathmore
residents will step up and help seniors and those with
heath issues; but sometimes expectations aren’t ful-
filled and hope has a long wait.
Having no recourse, as sometimes hired help is too
expensive or unavailable, the elderly and handicapped
try to remove the snow on their own that may cause
them injury. Many see getting out of their homes and
having others visit as a necessity. Without the help of
snow angels life may be just a little more hazardous.
According to a study done by Public Health Agency
of Canada, 16 per cent of senior’s falls have snow and
ice as a factor.
A study published in the Canadian Medical Journal
showed that one-third of heart attacks occurred the day
after snowfalls and severity was related to the amount
of snow being moved. This was more prevalent in the
male population of the study.
This is also a caution to those snow angels and oth-
ers removing snow to assess their health before tack-
ling those drifts. The Canadian Centre for Occupational
Health and Safety website has some tips on snow re-
moval ergonomics. Some of techniques suggest using
your knees, not loading the shovel too heavy and tak-
ing caution to not over twist your body movement.

cover up a scandal. There is presently one investi-
gation underway, which is being conducted by the
Federal Ethics Commissioner (this is the fifth time
this government has been subject to an ethics in-
vestigation).
However, Canadians need answers now. The Lib-
erals have stonewalled our investigative attempts
at every opportunity. My Conservative colleagues
on the Justice Committee called for a probe of the
affair. Incredibly, the Liberal MPs on the commit-
tee blocked any meaningful investigation by refus-
ing to call key witnesses including Jody Wilson-
Raybould herself and the Prime Minister’s Principal
Secretary, Gerald Butts. I asked the government di-
rectly in Question Period what was discussed when
Gerald Butts met with SNC Lavalin. I received noth-
ing but generic talking points in response.
Conservatives will now explore legal and law
enforcement options to hold Justin Trudeau ac-
countable for this coverup and get Canadians the
answers they deserve. We will not allow the Prime
Minister to sweep this scandal under the rug.

SAEWA gets provincial grant for tech studies
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
The 52 municipal partners of the
Southern Alberta Energy from Waste
Association (SAEWA) have been lobby-
ing to get a clean energy from waste
(EFW) facility up and running.
They were pleasantly surprised this
month, when news of a $400,000 grant
from the Alberta Community Partner-
ship (ACP) fund came through.
“We are very pleased with the sup-
port from Alberta Municipal Affairs,”
said SAEWA Chair and Wheatland
County councillor Ben Armstrong. “Not
only does this project have the poten-
tial to provide a long-term alternative
to landfilling, it can also reduce our
members’ GHG (greenhouse gas) emis-
sions by just over seven million tonnes
for the life of the project, or 236,000
tonnes per year. Some of our members’
garbage trucks travel 800 kilometres
just to put waste into a landfill and we
believe SAEWA can cut that in half.”
The money will be used for geotech-
nical studies that screen and evaluate
engineering for construction and site
conditions for the facility. Criteria will
be evaluated on economic, legal, public
health and safety, environment, social,
cultural and community factors, and
technical considerations.
“We are excited to move forward to
identify an appropriate site for the en-
ergy from waste facility. Normally you
need a judge to decide where to put
one of those things, but in our case
we have six municipalities that have
stepped up and said they would like to

The convoy of trucks is making the trip to create

favour of pipelines to move our products in the
oil and gas sector to the rest of Canada as well

tive locations, to help them understand
the process and site requirements. In
the right location, an energy from

trict energy, but can also provide the
necessary infrastructure for enhanced
recycling of plastic and paper products
that we can no longer send to China.”

one in three who smoke cigarettes, started out vaping.
Many of these products contain nicotine, an addictive
substance known to cause attention and memory
problems in young people. As well, sucking smoking
and vapour into the delicate tissues of the lungs is not
good for people of any age.
There is some controversy in the U.S. and Canada
about the restricted release of a new opioid drug
(sufentanil) which is 10 times more potent than fentanyl
and 1000 times stronger than morphine. Although the
drug (OK’d only in the U.S.) won’t be available from
pharmacies, it will be used only in surgical rooms,
emergency departments and for military injuries.
Witch hazel solutions are astringent (skin-puckering)
in nature and were used historically by the Native
Americans and adopted by Early Puritan settlers in New
England. It is used even today to treat hemorrhoids,
bug bites and stings and some say it helps soothe
sunburn. There can be some people who are allergic to
it so try it on a small area of skin first.
Since the chemical structure of vitamin C was
discovered in 1928, it has been recommended for
everything from healthy skin to wound-wound-healing
to cancer. We need only about 90 mg daily for our body
to function but many people take much more than that.
Smokers do need about twice as much. Use of high-
3.00% *
doses for cancer is not recommended if it replaces
proven treatments.

Wheatland Industrial Park runoff plagues landowners
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Wheatland County has had storm water runoff
issues in the Highway 1 Wheatland Industrial Park
for many years.
Harold and Elvira Boldt appeared before county
council on Feb. 5 to encourage them to address
the problem.
“We are here to appeal to you for some help
and direction to mitigate the flooding action by
the industrial park adjacent to our property,” said
Harold Boldt.
The Boldts have been experiencing flooding on
their property for over 12 years. They had sub-
mitted concerns at the original public hearing for
the industrial park and gained assurances at that
time that water runoff would be contained within
the confines of the park. The Boldts also included
copies of the original projections and references
to studies used by council to approve the park.
Some of the original approval conditions have not
yet been met.
Storm water runoff concerns for that area have
come before council several times in the past. The
Boldts presented pictures showing the downhill
slope to their property from the industrial site and
various views of flooding that occurred. They pre-
sented historical information that indicated early
on that the runoff had caused some small pud-
dling, but it was predominately handled by the
ditch system along Range Road 270. They said
they could still farm the low-lying regions.
With development, they said increased runoff
causes flooding of the land at least twice a year
and often overflows the ditch on Range Road 270,
and the berm that was raised in hopes to contain
the runoff is not working. In the past, they were
told a 35-acre retention pond on the park’s land
would be needed to curtail the flooding. This has
not been constructed. They said they suspect the
removal of topsoil and leaving the clay base dur-
ing construction of the industrial park may have
eliminated the area’s ability to absorb water.
They said the excess water is affecting their land
with spots of salination showing, which affects
farming practices.
“The system has failed us in a number of key
areas,” said Harold Boldt. “There has been no in-
termunicipal communication between Rocky View
(County) residents regarding Wheatland County
developments. It appears there is one set of rules
for us that we are expected to follow, but no one
holds Wheatland County or Wheatland Industrial
Park accountable to manage the water on their
A celebration 80 years in the making
The Strathmore Lions Club held their 80th anniversary charter night on Feb. 16 at the Strathmore Civic
Centre. The evening hosted 275 people in the largest charter night celebration in Alberta’s history of
Lion’s societies. Along with the usual dinner and speeches, the Strathmore Performing Arts Festival
society and the Zuzuki Talent Education Society performed for the crowd. In addition, Judge Brian
Stevenson, past international Lions president, attended and gave a speech.

development.”
There was some discussion whether it was Rocky
View County’s problem, or Wheatland County’s,
as the area is within intermunicipal boundaries.
Their property is along Boundary Road but falls
within Rocky View County. Rocky View County
directed them to Wheatland County for a solution.
The Boldts also said the positioning of a few
new culverts after road construction has caused
pooling runoff onto their land. The landowners
had tried to remedy the grade of the land by top
dressing measures, but were asked for a $20,000
environmental study prior to approval. They esti-
mate a personal loss of at least $75,000 in labour
and crop losses to date.
They asked for the right to top dress the land,
the county to fix the culverts, address runoff
from the Wheatland Industrial Park, mediate with
Rocky View County the costs of the environmen-
tal review and set up a meeting with all affected
stakeholders.
Mike Ziehr, Wheatland County’s transportation
and infrastructure manager, said the County has
been dealing with the problem in that area since
2008. He said with the number of wetlands, mov-
ing the water around in the flat topography would
just divert the problem to another area. The origi-
nal plan called for a pipeline to divert water to
Hartell Creek, which empties into Weed Lake. He
said building a pipeline to Hartell coulee, which
is many miles away, would be expensive. With
the development of a regional storm water plan,
which may be 10 years away, the county hopes to
shunt water through that system via a pipeline.
“Someone else is using our land for their storm
pond and it isn’t right,” said Elivera Boldt. “Some-
body has to do something somewhere. We are sit-
ting in a swamp. It is not stopping.”
Ziehr said that in the short term, “we have put
restrictions on any new developments that go in
there, to ensure they retain some of the drainage
on their own parcels.”
County council studied a professional agrolo-
gist/biologist review and aerial photos of the
area, during both spring and fall. Precipitation in
both wet and dry years was measured. The results
showed the wetlands had periods of increased
water retention in 1970 and 1974, prior to the con-
struction of the industrial area, and the engineers
felt the runoff was not a contributing factor in in-
creased water levels.
“While I am sympathetic to what you are ex-
periencing, to council it has been demonstrated
that this is a historical issue that has been on the

SPAF youth performers

80th Charter Night Gala on Feb. 16. The performers pictured range in age
from 10-19 and will be participating in the upcoming inaugural Strathmore
Performing Arts Festival running from March 29 to April 9. They performed
a varied program consisting of piano and vocal solos, duets and trios for
a very warm and appreciative audience. Pictured from left to right back

property,” said Reeve Amber Link.
Ron Warrick, who has historical knowledge of the area and
farmed the area, stated there is a problem and said it seems
like there should be a simple remedy. He stated in the 1970s
there were a lot of trees along the adjacent property that may
skew the findings of the report, as they are no longer there
to take up large amounts of water. He also said there wasn’t
salination at that time, or the former nursery that was there
wouldn’t have planted trees in the area. He verified the de-
velopment has made problems worse.
Councillor Tom Ikert said council would be open to work-
ing with Rocky View County on solutions and they needed
to have staff look into runoff solutions. Boldt urged council
to ensure the property owner met the original development
requirement, by developing a storm water retention pond on
the industrial park’s property.
“Right now, we need to continue to work with the develop-
er to put that in place,” said Alan Parkin, Wheatland County
chief administrative officer.
Council accepted the information and would discuss their
involvement in regard to the issue at the planning and prior-
ity meeting.

Who let the dogs out?

Cecil Express
Strathmore resident of 20 years, Cecil Rampersaud, cel-
ebrated his retirement from working for the City of Calgary
as a Calgary Transit bus driver for 31 years. Rampersaud
has also volunteered his time with the Strathmore Citizens
on Patrol, learned Spanish from the Wheatland Further
Education Society and has volunteered as a Spanish tu-
tor with The Strathmore Language Group and has been
a member of Strathmore’s Royal Canadian Legion since
2016. To celebrate his retirement, the City of Calgary com-
missioned the “Cecil Express” bus to pick him up at his
home in Strathmore and drop him off at his retirement
party at the Strathmore Legion on Feb. 16.

Wheatland County is working with Siksika Nation to
try to solve the stray dog problem in the Gleichen area.
Stuart Larson, Wheatland County’s emergency, protec-
tive and fire services manager, said he met with Siksika
justice administration to coordinate some solutions to
the dilemma.
“Apparently the situation is a little worse further south
of the border (Wheatland County and Siksika reserve),
closer to the tail end,” said Larson. “We are making a
commitment to work together and try to solve the prob-
lem.”
Peace officers were encouraged to find some new non-
lethal alternative capture methods. One idea is the use
of net-guns, which fire a net to capture animals. These
types of guns are widely used in wildlife and research
operations.
“The dogs are getting smarter, so when they see the
cars they are taking off,” said Larson.
Siksika administration is moving forward to require li-
censing for owned dogs on the reserve.
WHAT TO DO WITH THE OLD CLUNY HALL?
County council approved moving forward with ac-
quiring the old Cluny Hall that had been up for bidding
through negligent taxation rules. The county stated there
had been a few complaints about the abandoned prop-
erty, so staff did an environmental assessment.
“There was a very low risk that there could be an en-
vironmental hazard on it,” said Brian Henderson, Wheat-
land County’s corporate and financial services general
manager. “So with this property, there is a vacant building
on it that will need to be demolished and taken away.”
The cost for the demolition would be $33,500. If there
are contaminants found in the demolition process it may
require additional funds. The building is not viable for
restoration.
“What happens if we don’t do this?” asked Councillor
Tom Ikert. “This is $35,000 and the guy that owns the
property now doesn’t want to spend the $35,000. With it
being in Cluny, if we hang on to it, in 30 or 40 centuries
it will be worth $35,000 for that lot.”
The other option was to leave it as it exists. Henderson
restated there have been complaints and for safety fac-
tors it should be dealt with. Councillor Ben Armstrong
said legal costs may take up an equivalent amount in
order to get the owner to clean up the property, and
once the property was cleaned up it might have better
sales value.
WADEMSA FEE INCREASES CONSIDERED
County council is considering raising the amount of
money per capita that is transferred to Wheatland and
District Emergency Medical Association (WADEMSA) dis-
patch.
“The fees historically were $2, ever since dispatch start-
ed. Since we were acquired by Alberta Health Services,
they don’t fund our dispatch anymore. After a lengthy
review by the board, to keep our dispatch and to pay for
it would cost about $8 per cap,” said Deputy Reeve Glenn
Koester. “The biggest draw is it is a local dispatch. Our
dispatchers know (the area and residents) and they are
also now getting first responders out. We were having is-
sues with Alberta Health Services getting first responders
out in a timely manner. We are tracking that and the only
way we can do that is through our dispatch.”
Koester said other municipalities in the county were
contacted on the increases and supported the raise. He
emphasized that the issue is not just about money, it is
also about the quality of service for ratepayers.
SAFETY CODE CONTRACTOR
Some of Wheatland County’s business goes to contrac-
tors who supply service to the county. One of those is
safety inspections on construction activity in the county.
Park Enterprises Incorporated of Lethbridge was chosen
from the tenders for the new contract. The contract runs
for three years, 2019-2022.
Councillor Tom Ikert asked about the criteria for choos-
ing the company from the applicants.
“Staff went through a number of requirements. Pric-
ing was one of them, but not the only one. There was
also qualifications of the staff, the system they use that
complies more to what our system is, experience and of
course reference checks,” said Alan Parkin, Wheatland
County’s chief administrative officer.
There were 174 development permits received and re-
viewed last year.

Twenty-one-year-old McKenna Husband is a

Strathmore Black Knights vs Airdrie Jets Purple Hurricanes
gold medalist after placing first in a figure skat-
ing competition during the Special Olympics
Alberta Winter Games Calgary 2019.
Husband, from Strathmore, received gold in
the Level 1 Free Skate competition.
“I’ve been figure skating since I was six or
seven,” says Husband. “And this is my first gold
at provincials.”
Husband started skating with the Gleichen
Skating Club, but at the age of 10, her family
moved to Strathmore and she joined Calgary
Special Olympics where she has since honed
her talents on the ice.
Getting to the provincials is no easy feat. Hus-
band trains once a week at the Calgary Olym-
pic Oval between October and March. She also
swims at SAIT and participates in track and

“THE TIMES THEY ARE
A CHANGIN”*
Yes, they certainly have
and they certainly are. My
grandmother was born in
1901 and passed in 2003, just
before her 102 birthday. She
saw revolutionary changes in
the automobile, the airplane,
the telephone, kitchen
appliances, clothing styles,
education … almost every
aspect of life. Life changed.
How do we cope with such
changes?
Moses was married with kids.
He was a sheep-herder in
the land of Midian. All noble
callings. One day while out
tending the sheep, he saw a
bush that was on fire yet not
consumed.
God saw that he had stopped
to look and called from the
bush, “Moses. Moses. Take
off your sandals. You are
standing on holy ground. I
am the God of your fathers,
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

my people make. They are
being treated cruelly by the
Egyptians. I’m sending you to
Pharaoh to bring my people,
the People of Israel, out of

Moses was shocked! “Who
me? Why me? What makes
you think I can do this? I’m
not eloquent. Find someone
else!”
Each time God answered,
“You can do this because I
will be with you.” “I will give
you the words to say.” “I’ll be
right there with you, teaching
you step by step.”
God is the one constant we
can count on in this life of
change. Sometimes God
calls us to make changes
but reassures us that his
presence will be with us,
enveloping us, encouraging
us, loving us and blessing us
along the way – always. God
with us. Thanks be to God.

Despite a solid regular season, the Wheatland Kings were ousted by the Medicine Hat Cubs in the first
round of the Heritage Junior B Hockey League playoffs. The Kings fell 2-0 on home ice Feb. 12 before
losing 5-2 in Game 2 on Feb. 14 in the best-of-three series.
Kings swept
out of playoffs
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Wheatland Kings
season came to an end at the hands of
a bitter rival in the Medicine Hat Cubs,
who beat the Kings in two straight
games in a best of three series.
The Cubs beat the Kings 2-0 on Feb.
12 in Strathmore and completed the
sweep with a 5-2 win on Feb. 14 in
Medicine Hat.
“I think we just came up against an
older, veteran Medicine Hat team,” said
Kings head coach Joel Robinson. “I
give kudos to Medicine Hat. They re-
ally dug deep and came out and really
wanted to show us that they were will-
ing to play with us in the series.”
In Game 1 of the series, the Kings
had home advantage and Kings goal-
ie Brett Willan made 37 saves to give
his team a chance to win. But they
struggled to get any offense going and
didn’t really find their game until the
final frame of the period.
The Kings outshot the Cubs 13-5 in
the third and had two quality chances
to tie it. Star centre Lucas Muenchrath
fired a laser beam of a wrist shot that
rang off the crossbar from the top
circle, and leading scorer Isaac Ben-
oit was robbed by Cubs goalie Brett
Vanderveer with a couple minutes re-
maining.
The series shifted back to Medicine
Hat for Game 2 and the Kings struggled
to get going early. The Cubs scored a
single goal in the first and added two
more halfway through the second. The
Kings made it 4-2 by the end of the
second, but they just couldn’t find a
way to get the puck past Vanderveer
in the third who took the first star of
the game.
“All series we just couldn’t get any
bounces,” said Muenchrath. “We’d hit
crossbars and get our opportunities,
Doug Taylor Photos
but the puck just wouldn’t go in.”
“They’d get an odd man rush and
put it in,” said Kings Captain Cole
Busslinger. “Whereas us we’d hit the
post, or their goalie would make a re-
ally good save.”
The Kings ended the regular sea-
son with an 18-17-3 record, finishing
fourth in the southern division. They
were ninth in goals for with 154, and
seventh in goals against with 148. Ac-
cording to Muenchrath, a local player,
playing in front of the home crowd
was a big plus this year.
“Our crowd every night is just crazy.
Best crowd by far in the league and it
just makes it so fun because you know
everyone and it’s just a great atmo-
sphere,” said Muenchrath.
Several of the Kings leadership group
played in their final junior B game
against the Cubs, including Busslinger.
“You get this sort of pit in your stom-
ach because you know you’re never
going to go through that again,” said
Busslinger. “I wanted to play competi-
tive hockey for as long as I can, and
I’ve always played all of my hockey in
Strathmore.”
The Kings are now taking some time
to decompress and evaluate their sea-
son. According to Robinson, it’s still
too early to say for sure who will be
back next year because the players and
staff need to make decisions on mul-
tiple things, such as school schedules
and job opportunities.
However, Robinson stressed to his
players at the end of the year that they
were a young team and they could
build on this season. Strathmore also
has a plethora of AA players coming
up which can be used by the Kings.
“You give it two or three years and
I think we’ll have a championship in
Strathmore,” said Robinson. “We are
going to be a force to be reckoned
with.”

Spartans girls lose nail-biter
in finals
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
It all came down to the last two min-
utes of play, but the Strathmore High
School (SHS) senior girls Spartans lost
42-39 to the Cochrane High School Co-
bras in the finals at the SHS basketball
tournament on Feb. 16.
“I’m disappointed that we lost but
I’m happy with where we are at. I
think our kids are competing with
every team now,” said Spartans head
coach Kyle Larson. “Even though we’re
really young I’m pretty excited about
it. I didn’t know we would be at this
point this year.”
The Cobras were on point in the
first quarter and found every hole
and opening in the Spartans defense,
and held a comfortable 18-5 lead. But
things turned around for the Spartans
in the second as their full-court press
started to yield turnovers and points.
The Spartans found themselves trailing
24-19 at the end of the half.
The Spartans continued to inch
closer to the Cobras in the third and a
couple of big threes from ace shooter
Kennedy Shiner and the skilled Justine
Larson had them within two points.
It was back and forth between the
clubs, with Justine Larson making a
free throw to take the lead with two
minutes remaining. But it wasn’t meant
to be for the Spartans at their home
