ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
My name is Adelle Ellis, and I am the
new friendly reporter at the Strathmore
Times. I am very excited to start my work
here and to join in at community events.
You may have seen me around before
as I am practically a local I was raised
on a small cattle and grain farm just north
of Standard where I currently reside. I am
a country girl heart and soul, and truly at
home on the Prairies
I first decided to study journalism while
in high school. I started reading more
novels and taking more photographs, and
became interested in different forms of
media.
Naturally, the next step for me was to
attend post-secondary and study journalism. I continued into SAITs journalism
program, which thankfully for me was
close enough to my parents farm to be
able to go home on weekends to get my
animal fix and do my laundry for free.
At SAIT, I majored in photojournalism
in my last year, choosing my love for photography over my love/hate relationship
with writing.
Upon graduation, I gained a job with
a steel construction company in Calgary
where I rebuilt their website and their
sister companys website, and produced
documentation photographs on various
jobsites.
Since my passion is for taking photographs of people, not buildings, I also
started taking family and individual portraits and booking photo sessions. Please
feel free to give me a like and follow at
facebook.com/adelleellisphotography.
And now here I am by chance of good
timing mixed with a little luck reporting for the Strathmore Times. I am once
again pursuing my journalistic dreams
and looking forward to documenting and
reporting on all Strathmore and Wheatland County offers.

Over 100 parents showed up to the new Wheatland Crossing School for a meeting and walk
through to see the progress being made. The
school, which wont be open until February,
will hold 450 students from the rural towns of
Standard, Rockyford, Gleichen and Hussar.
The school, several months behind schedule to
be completed, is highly anticipated by parents,
teachers, and students alike, and will have educational spaces fit with 21st century learning.

Capsule Comments
Weedless Wednesday is on January 18 this year. It
is the focal point of National Non-Smoking Week and
focuses media and public attention on the benefits
of quitting smoking and the community resources
available to help smokers stop. Its a great opportunity
to start a new non-smoking life one day at a time.
Heres a list of resolutions unlike the normal ones
people make year after year. 1) Get that medical
check-up this year with your dentist and your doctor.
2) Eat three meals a day. Skipping meals doesnt help
your concentration or your weight. 3) know your
family health history. It will help your doctor help
you. 4) Dont be too sedentary. Work some sort of
exercise into your daysat least 3 x weekly. Finally,
be thankful. Practicing gratitude is good for your
emotional health.
The trick behind keeping a resolution to change your
lifestyle is to make it such a habit that you do it almost
unconsciously. Brushing our teeth is such a habit and
a good one too. The other trick is dont try to change
too many habits at once. Pick one or two that are
most important to you and concentrate on them.
Overloading on vitamin C: The maximum amount
the body can absorb daily is 200mg. Many people
take many times more than that. What isnt absorbed
is excreted by the body in the urine. Smokers and
those undergoing the stress of a cold may require a bit
more. The safe maximum amount is 2000mg daily.
After that, gastrointestinal distress like diarrhea may
occur.
For good information about vitamins, pharmacists
are a great source.

From the audience, council members were: told perhaps they shouldnt be sitting there; asked if theyve
heard of a lynch mob; advised they were disrespectful.
I believe the seven members of Wheatland council
serve this community because they care. It is not an
easy job. If you dont believe me, consider trying it
out. There is an election next October. Discover the
rules and regulations councillors need to learn and
operate within in order to bring change (if at all possible).
Government, good or bad, whether we like it or
not, is part of the system we live in. I struggled for
a while to understand what lies behind last weeks
observed behaviour. I think it is a belief in the absolute freedom of the individual without government.
That would be anarchy, which brings an entirely new
set of problems. Many people today do not want to
recognize the authority of government even when it
is present. I do not believe the good of the one supersedes the good of the many. Our world becomes
a much better place when things beneficial to all are
taken into consideration.
I understand council needs to review and discuss

Our club finished our fall riding lessons at the
end of October and although it was pretty chilly,
everyone finished on a good note.
We did our annual horse health clinic in October where we checked our horses temperatures,
heart rates and other important things to know
about our horses health. A big thank you to Dr.
Katie Ford for coming out to help us with this.
We did a bottle drive in Strathmore on Oct. 29
and really appreciate all of the donations we received. Thank you to Keeling Transport for letting us use your shop to sort the bottles and stay
warm. We also did a Coco Brooks fundraiser in
November; thanks again to everyone who ordered
from us.
We held our monthly meeting on Nov. 1 and
discussed some fun day ideas. It was decided that
we will go to the Flying Squirrel in Calgary, date
to be determined.
Declaration of Mount forms were handed out
and need to be filled in and returned by the January meeting at the latest. 4-H on Parade will be on
June 1-4, 2017 and the regional horse show will
be held in Red Deer on Aug. 11-13, 2017. Awards
of Excellence were presented to Chanel with a silver award and Aliera with a bronze award.
On Dec. 6, our club met at Walmart to do
our shopping for Adopt-a-Family then held our
Christmas party and gift exchange. We played a
fun game, got some great gifts and had fun! We
also had our monthly meeting and are planning
on having a record book workshop and public

cause its where I work to represent the constituents of Bow River. I say it because its a marvelous
city, there is lots to do and to see here. I think
that every Canadian should come here and visit at
least once if they are able to make the trek.
I write and invite each and every one of you
to consider Ottawa as your travel destination in
2017. Its particularly important for me to share
this message with you as the Centre Block, the
heart of Canadas Parliament buildings, where the
House of Commons and the Senate as well as the
landmark Peace Tower are located, will be closing
and
for at least 10 years. This is a conservative
estimate, and other estimates I have heard say it will
be closed for up to 15 years for the major overhaul
and renovation that is required on this historic
and critically important building for all Canadians.
That being said, if you are planning on visiting
Ottawa, please contact my office at 613-992-0761
or martin.shields@parl.gc.ca. We would be happy
to arrange for you to attend Question Period, or
to give you a personalized tour of these incredible
buildings.
On behalf of my staff in Ottawa, Brooks and
Strathmore, I wish you and yours a very Merry
Christmas, and a healthy and prosperous 2017.

Macs midget on horizon
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Its a Christmas tradition in this country: turkey-eating,
present-opening, driveway-shoveling and hockey-watching.
The 39th installment of the Macs AAA Midget Hockey
Tournament has produced a smorgasbord of NHL talent
and crowned champions from six different countries. It is
set to get underway Dec. 26 (10 a.m.) when the Arizona
Bobcats host the Calgary Buffaloes at Max Bell Centre #1.
For the CFR Chemicals Bisons, they aim to be the sixth
team to capture the elusive title for a second time. The Bisons won the Macs Cup back in 1998 when they iced the
Swift Current Legionnaires, one year after losing out in the
championship to the Saskatoon Contacts.
Last season, the Bisons failed to make it out of the round
robin stage, going 1-2-1.
This year, expectations are reasonably higher for the
Herd. The Bisons rolled through the Alberta Midget Hockey
League (AMHL) like big shots to begin the season. They
opened the season on a 19-game undefeated tear, but hit
a miniscule road bump at the start of December. The Herd
appears to be back on track following a 7-1 win Dec. 16
over the Knights of Columbus Pats.
We are a lot more confident this year than we were last
year, said Bisons winger Kanden Hanas. Our hot start
might have given us a bigger target, but that only makes it
more fun.
But theres mythical allure to this tournament. The names
of Wendel Clark, Sidney Crosby, Mike Modano and Jarome
Iginla ring around the arena while parents, fans and scouts
file into the Max Bell Centre to catch a glimpse of some of
the best midget hockey from North America and Europe.
You kid yourself if you dont get excited for the Macs.
Its a cool event; not just for the kids, but for everyone involved, said Bisons assistant coach Paden Grant.
For Grant, it is his first time back at the Macs since he
played for the Bisons during the 2003-2004 season.
The excitement became amplified Dec. 7 when the pools
and schedules were released at the Westin in downtown
Calgary. The Bisons are the host team in Pool 5 along with
the Alaska Oilers, Greater Vancouver Canadians, Moose Jaw
Generals and Red Deer Optimist Chiefs.
The leader after the round robin from each pool advances, along with three wildcard slots going to the next best
records. Playoffs begin on New Years Eve with the championship running New Years Day (6 p.m.) at the Scotiabank
Saddledome.
For captain Brett Trentham, this will mark his third Macs
tourney. Playing for the Bisons as an affiliated player two
years ago, he looks to be a calming presence in the room
this year.
Guys are going to be excited when they step out onto
the ice in front of these crowds, said Trentham. We got to
control that and try to not get too fired up, because thats
when mistakes start to happen.
Bisons head coach Sandy Henry has been involved with
the Macs for two decades. Whether it was coaching his two
sons, scouting and with the Bisons, Henry has yet to drink
from the Cup.
We like our team, we think we have a good squad, and if
we play to our potential, then we have a good opportunity

Another milestone was reached during the Kings final game before the
holiday break. Rookie netminder Indiana Kelly backstopped his team with
40 saves in his second start to pick up
his first career win.
He faced a ton of shots from the sixminute mark of the second period and
on. They pressured us pretty hard, but
he held his own, said assistant coach
Braden Desmet.
Im very happy for him. He hasnt
missed a single practice all year and he
works really hard, said Pretty Youngman.
Kelly cruised through the opening
frame, and was only required to make
six saves as his team jumped out to
an early 3-0 lead on goals from Zachary Meadows, Pretty Youngman and a
short-handed snipe from alternate captain Brenden Moore.
Following a scoreless second frame,
the two teams went bonkers, combining for nine goals in the third, as the
Cubs (5-18-5) were taking advantage
of the lazy play from the Kings.
I dont know if we were tired, or
guys were thinking about the break, or
what. But we took our foot off the gas
and any team in this league can come
back against you if you let them, said
Desmet.
The Cubs sit fifth, eight points behind the Kings in the southern division.
Trailing 5-1 in the third, the Cubs
scored four times in the final 8:31, but
nus-8 goal differential, marginally different from going 0-4 last year with a
minus-13 differential.
The standings are kind of locked
up at the minute, so we need to come
back from the break and worry about
our own game plan as we shape up for
a playoff drive, said Desmet.
That marks the end of Kings hockey
in 2016. The team resumes action Jan.
6 when they take on the Generals for
the final time this regular season at the
Spray Lakes Family Sports Centre. Their
first home action in the New Year goes
Jan. 7 (8 p.m.), when they welcome the
Cubs back to the Strathmore Family
Centre.
Wacy Sandum, Robert Butterwick, Ryan McHarg and Benoit added assists.
Ty Tarvyd turned away 20 shots for his fourth shutout.
The Chiefs then manhandled the 2-19-2 Foothills Bisons
8-2 Dec. 18 at the Strathmore Family Centre.
Benoit scored four straight goals, Hnattowich picked up
three helpers, Zachary Suntjens finished with a goal and an
assist and Lucas Muenchrath supplied a pair of assists, while
Riley Stovka made 20 saves for his eighth win.
The Chiefs return Jan. 7 when they take on the Taber Golden Suns (7-9-5). at the Taber Community Centre.

In Loving
Memory of
John J. Van Verdegem
March 2, 1927
to December 26, 2011
No longer in our
lives to share
But in our hearts
youre always there.
GOOD, Barbara
July 28, 1947
December 17, 2016
Barbara Good beloved wife of Warren
Good lost her battle with cancer on
December 17, 2016 at the age of 69 years. Barbara
was born in Motherwell, Scotland on July 28, 1947,
and migrated to Canada at the age of 19 with her
parents David and Mary Millsop on July 1, 1967. Barb
and Warren were married on April 10, 1971 where
they met in Toronto and moved out to Calgary in August 1974. Barb was predeceased by her parents and
sister Annie, and is survived by her husband of 45
years Warren, her four sons Garry (Jen), Merle, Sheldon (Amy), and Brendan, and her two grandchildren
Maggie and Albert. Barb was well known for her sewing, knitting, and related talents (having worked as a
seamstress for a number of years) as well as her exceptional baking. Warren and Barb shared a love for
traveling and dancing, having taken several cruises
around the world, and attending dances as far as Las
Vegas. Barb will always be remembered for her sense
of humor, generous nature, willingness to share, and
always putting the well being of others before herself,
even during her last days in the Hospice. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, December 23, 2016
at Lord of All Lutheran Church (112 Lakeside Blvd.,
Strathmore, AB) at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, tributes may be made directly to the Wheatland & Area
Hospice Society (P.O. Box 2154, Strathmore, AB., T1P
1K2). To send condolences, please visit Barbs obituary at www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.
