night it came to its ultimate conclusion with a split gov-
ernment and the chance for a coalition government.
It may surprise few in Alberta to know the province
went blue with strong Conservative support. Across the
country, however, the results were mixed.
The Liberals had a minority government with 157 seats,
the Conservative Party of Canada had 121 seats, with the
Bloc Quebecois securing 32 seats in Quebec, the NDP
with 24 and Greens with 3 seats. Former Justice Minister
and Attorney General, Jody Wilson-Raybould, won in her
riding of Vancouver-Granville as an Independent.
As expected, Martin Shields, Bow River’s incumbent
candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada, was victo-
rious in his run for a seat in Parliament.
“I’m very humbled,” Shields said from Brooks on elec-
tion night. “There are a lot of volunteers to thank: people
putting up signs, organizing events, door-knocking; I’m
proud of the many people who supported me.”
While the national loss may not have been what the
Conservatives were hoping for this election, the work
does not stop, Shields said.
“We’re in a minority government now. Decisions still
need to be made.
“The electorate didn’t want to reward the Liberals with
a majority government, but we still have work to do. We
will continue to support the Trans Mountain (Pipeline)
expansion to see that it gets built.”
In an earlier interview, Shields stated he would contin-
ue to advocate for both inter-provincial and international
trade for the agriculture industry, pipeline construction,
and also focus on keeping waterways clear of invasive
species and improving rural internet access.

WHEATLAND Me to We Club hosting

COUNTY We Scare Hunger event
Where There’s Room to Grow FLORENCE KALIA
Time Contributor
Strathmore High School’s Me to We
Club is hosting an event called We
Scare Hunger on Halloween.
We Scare Hunger is a food bank col-
lection in a unique way. The event is
held to collect non-perishable food
items that can then be donated to the
Wheatland food drive
At 6:30 p.m. on Halloween, volun-
teers and members of the Me to We
Club will go around the community
trick-or-treating to collect food items.
“We chose Halloween because it is
a great opportunity to help others in
a fun way by incorporating the enjoy-
ment of trick-or-treating,” says Brittyn
Paiha, a member of the Me to We Club.
The We Scare Hunger event has
been held for many years and last year
the club collected a whopping 1,623
pounds of food.
Some members in the Me to We Club
have been volunteering in this event for
the last four years. Several teachers and
students from the Me to We Club put in
their time and effort to make this event
a success.
The Me to We Club was initiated by
Christine Magill, a Strathmore High
School teacher who is now retired. She
went to Rwanda on a volunteer trip
and when she came back she
discussed the trip
with her students

STRATHMORE THEATRE PLAYERS’ GUILD PRESENTS:
The stocking rate is 20 cow-calf pairs for a period of not more than 120
days (although alternative systems may be considered). Leaseholders
must:
• Follow a grazing rotation determined by or approved by
County staff.
• Use and maintain a remote watering system (provided).
• Allow access by County staff for workshops, tours, additional
projects and training events, which may be held on-site.
• Maintain existing fence line.
Sealed tenders, labelled “Lease within 34-27-26-4” may be submitted
by registered mail, courier, or hand delivered not later than 12:00 p.m.

be involved in the community, the club
was formed.
The Me to We Club is a part of the Me
to We Organization. The aim of the club
is to bring awareness for individuals
and groups who are underprivileged,
not only in our community but also on
a larger scale in the world. The club
hosts many events to raise money and
other helpful items for the people who
require them in our community.
There are three teachers and around
10 students who are currently involved
in the club. Many of the students in-
volved are international students who
love to pitch in and help others around
the world.
“Me to We club has been a pivotal
piece for connecting the students of
SHS,” said Reanna Thiessen, a member
of the club. “It gives passionate people a
chance to work with like-minded think-
ers to make the world a better place.”
This year the club is going to focus
on raising money for a pillar of the Me
to We movement. Every small dona-
tion is appreciated and is put to a good
cause around the community and the
world.
The club has upcoming events and
fundraisers such as bake sales and an
annual benefit concert. There will also
be a silent auction in the spring.
To help in the We Scare Hunger event
taking place on Halloween, peo-
ple in the community can
have non-perishable
items ready for collec-
tion in the evening,
or drop off some
food to Strathmore
High School dur-
ing the day or the

Bank anytime

Hope Bridges celebrates 14th gala Bob Sheddy C0-Owner/Commercial Broker

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Time Contributor
Hope Bridges Society, a non-profit
organization serving residents of Strath-
more and surrounding communities,
held its 14th annual Artists Among Us
gala, Sunday, Oct. 20, at Hope Commu-
nity Covenant Church. The event was at-
tended by nearly 400 people.
“Our mission is to use the arts as a
connective tool to bring people togeth-
er in friendship and community,” said
Sheila Konschuh, Hope Bridges’ board
chairperson.
“All of our activities, our actions, all of
our advocacy work is grounded in the
knowledge that everyone belongs, and
that everyone is a person of value, and
that every person has a gift to share in
our community.”
Funds raised are directed toward the
organization’s weekly facilitated events
for people with a range of abilities.
Those include a music therapy singing
group called Sing Your High Note, an
Adaptive Drumming Circle and the Go
Green Upcycling group, where partici-
pants take things about to be discarded
and turn them into something beautiful.
“All of our activities are facilitated
with the intention of excellence,” Kon-
schuh said, “but at the same time, the
primary goal is connection and friend-
ship. Every action that we take, we
think about what it means to have an
opportunity to connect.”
Artists Among Us, Hope Bridges’ pri-
mary annual fundraiser, is “a diverse,
fully-inclusive performance. And so,
it’s an actual example of what happens
when we make space for each other
and celebrate each other.”
David Snider of Rosebud emceed the
performance.
The new group Duo Grande – Megan
Konschuh and Denis Dufresne – per-
formed an engaging blend of violin and
fiddle.
The Kool Katz Band “got the place
hopping,” Snider said, with their air gui-
tar performance of Twist and Shout.
Brother-sister duo Kelsey and Aaron
Krogman performed Everly Brothers
and Emmy Lou Harris, and Jesse Dol-
limont and T. Buckley also celebrated
Emmy Lou Harris.
Rhonda Bruce led an audience-inter-
active performance with the Adaptive
Drumming Circle.
Jenn Beaupre and Lewis Frere, who
performed as soloists at last year’s gala,
performed as a duo, on keyboard, vo-
cals and guitar.
Jesse Dollimont led a Sing Your High
Note interactive performance. Jory Kin-
jo performed reggae.
The Rachel Konschuh Band, includ-
ing Denis Dufresne, Megan Konschuh
and Jaala Cutbill, sang an audience-in-
fused If I Had a Million Dollars.
Ghostboy, comprised of Denis Du-
fresne and Aaron Young, and Jory Kinjo
joined their skills to give a performance
that brought the audience to their feet.
Just before the final song, Konschuh
announced Chuck Bailey as the first
recipient of the newly created Hope
Bridges Harmony Award, saying he is
dedicated to the knowledge that every-
one belongs and that every person’s
contribution is meaningful and valuable.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Put your money where your mouth is
To the Editor
Like I’m sure all of you, I do hear quite a bit about
climate change on a daily basis, especially in recent
weeks with our federal election. Whether you believe
or not in man-made climate change, there is so much
information out there that it is very easy to get lost,
whether one way or the other.
They have not convinced us yet but one thing that
would make our climate change alarmists (politicians,
activists, etc.) a little more convincing would be to
lead by example. Like us, are you not tired of being
lectured by people who do just the opposite of what
they say/want you to do? As an example, this headline
dated Jan. 22, 2019: “More than 1,500 private jets and
world leaders land in Davos, Switzerland to discuss
climate change”. Wow, then those same people tell
us that letting our car warm up more than three min-
utes in the winter is bad for the environment. Then
what about Prince Harry declaring a few weeks ago
that they (and so should you) as a family won’t have
more than two children to help save our future on
earth. Yet, a week after in the magazines, here he is
Halloween house Election woes
To the Editor
We all remember that person who made our
childhood, by doing something that lives on in
our memories. My husband Doug takes great
joy in being one of those people and has for
19 years. All you need to say is, “I live at that
crazy Halloween house” and folks in Strathmore
know.
October is here again, and our yard on Centre
St. is full of inventive monsters that vary each
year, as he strives to make each display better
than the last. A second generation of trick or
treaters are now accompanied by parents who
share memories of when they came to the house.
Regardless of the weather, the yard is deco-
rated, with over 600 children and a few hundred
adults visiting us every year. We look forward to
seeing you on Oct. 31!

leading by example, we’ll think about the kids, OK?
The day we see our climate change alarmists (politi-
cians, activists, etc.) fly economy like you and I, only
use one plane for their campaign, bike and walk to
events/work/protests/grocery store, etc., all year
round (they use right now the very same cars they
want you to park), not switch their old phones as
soon as a new version comes out, encourage citizens
to buy as local as possible and remove red tape so the
local food industry can thrive and cancel their fancy
trips around the world to reduce carbon footprint;
then and only then will we even consider taking them
seriously. Until that happens, we will happily stay on
the other side of the fence and do what we know is
best at home. After all, if they really believed we were
in such a crisis, don’t you think that they would put
their actions where their mouths are?

To the Editor
On April 13, 1950 I landed in Halifax. Famous Pier 21,
my passport (Dutch) was stamped Landed Immigrant. I
paid for my own trip from Rotterdam, Holland to Leth-
bridge, Alta. I was seven years old.
The Liberals were the federal government under Louis
St. Laurent (Uncle Louis). They were building a pipeline
from Alberta to the east and the west. We had the infa-
mous pipeline debate in May 1956. The then Minister of
Transportation (I can’t recall his name) changed his mind
about building (I think it was the third pipeline east) into
Sarnia, Ont. again. He wanted the pipeline to go north of
Lake Superior to Toronto. American companies built pipe-
lines then. They told the Minister “that’s fine, but we don’t
want to pay the interest on the $80 million extra it was
going to cost.” The Minister said, “I’ll lend you the money
(Canadian taxpayer’s money) at four per cent.”
John Diefenbaker had just become leader of the Con-
servative party. He said, “you can’t give taxpayers money
to an American company.” The minister told him it was
a loan, not a gift, “but we’ll have the debate.” But they’ll
get this money June 1, 1956, so the shit hit the fan. The
company got the money (and it was paid back as soon as
the pipeline was finished) so Diefenbaker won the next
election and Canada went into deficit financing.
In 1962, Lester B. Pearson won the government back for
the Liberals (minority). But look what he did with a mi-
nority government. We did get our distinctive flag, we got
health care and we got Expo 1967 (Canada’s centennial).
Then Pierre Trudeau took over the Liberal government
so he (Trudeau) had his argument with Peter Lougheed
(Premier of Alberta) about oil. Not to close the oil sands
down, he wanted a bigger slice of the pie (Trudeau lost,
Lougheed won). So we went into bigger deficit financ-
ing. By the time he got voted out it was $200 billion. The
Conservatives under Brian Mulroney doubled that to $400
billion; right now, I don’t know where it stands.

To achieve sustainability, municipalities need to efficiently provide safe,
reliable and easily accessible water as well as dependable sanitation while
protecting our waterways and ecosystem.

About 70% of the earth’s surface is covered in water but only 3% of it is
freshwater. With the growing demands around the world, this supply is

Organic Abilities offers inclusive
programs for all to enjoy
CHRISTINE FOSHAUG
Times Contributor
Last spring Megan Nimchuk launched Organic Abilities,
with the goal of creating inclusive programs for people of
any age and ability.
With 15 years of experience working with vulnerable in-
dividuals, she knows how therapeutic animals can be. Her
Make Me a Farmer program is available for adults with spe-
cial needs as well as children. Nimchuk tailors each session
to the clients’ abilities and goes at their pace, which provides
an encouraging and nurturing experience.
There are five participants in the Tuesday morning ses-
sion that’s just wrapping up. Two of her clients come from
Calgary, and three from Wheatland Serenity House. With
help from support workers, Nimchuk immerses her clients
in farm life for a few hours each week. Interacting with ani-
mals, such as cats, dogs, chickens, pigs, goats, a llama and a
horse, has a calming effect and can have a positive impact on
individuals with repetitive behaviours.
“We teach them about animal care, so we do chores like
feeding the chickens and the pigs, and we brush the goats,”
she explained. “It’s a holistic approach, and it provides sen-
sory experiences to deal with behaviours.”
Twenty-five-year-old Dan Ryan and his support worker,
Mark Brown, make the trip out from Calgary. Mark says that
although Dan has autism and has difficulty communicating,
he looks forward to his trips to the farm.
“Dan loves spending time at the farm,” said Brown. “He’s
very fond of animals, especially cats and dogs, and he enjoys
visiting with the goats and feeding the pigs, chickens and
horse.”
Nimchuk’s future plans include the construction of a heat-
ed building so she can run her programs year-round. She
also intends to expand her programming to include garden-
New scholarships honour RSA faculty
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
At its graduation and awards ceremony on Sept. 29, Rose-
bud School of the Arts (RSA) announced four new scholar-
ships given by or in honour of faculty members.
The Jeany Van Meltebeke Award was established by former
student Dale Clark (RSA Diploma 2017) in honour of faculty
member Van Meltebeke, for a student who uses theatre to
present the Gospel of Christ. Shayleigh Sihlis received it.
“It’s not some strangers I’m receiving this from,” Sihlis
said. “It’s people that I already know and that have invested
in me for years now, both the donor and the namesake of the
award. So that meant a lot to me.”
Dale Clark said she established the scholarship because
of the impact on her when she received an RSA scholarship.
“It’s a very encouraging thing to get a scholarship,” she
said. “It’s still significant to me. I still have the little certifi-
cate. (It means) somebody believed in you. I want to give
back the way it impacted me.”
Van Meltebeke taught the first-year drama ministry class.
“If this scholarship is about what I love about drama min-
istry and what I hope students would take away, which is
permission and ingenuity to bring something … into a new
light,” said Van Meltebeke, “then I am so proud. It will en-
courage other creatives to work from their core value, find
that voice and make original art.”
Current and former RSA faculty announced three other
new scholarships.
Leah T. Hearne established the James Russell Hearne Me-
morial Scholarship in honour of her father, who passed away
in 2018. It’s for an RSA student who loves literature, has a

Organic Abilities offers a wide range of programs, from 1-800-222-TIPS
kids’ birthday parties to team-building sessions to goat yoga
for kids and adults of all abilities. It’s important to Nimchuk (1-800-222-8477)
to get involved in the community; she recently participated
in Farm Week at Hope Preschool, giving the students the op-
portunity to learn about baby goats.
She also welcomes individuals, families or groups who just
want to experience life on a farm. You can learn more about

entrance.”

Kings earn a split the hard way

MARIO PRUSINA
Times Editor
After suffering a loss to one of the
worst teams in the league, the Wheat-
land Kings responded with a resound-
ing win over one of the top squads.
The local Junior B team stumbled 7-5
to the lowly Rocky Rams on Oct. 19 at
the Strathmore Family Centre, before
playing a complete game versus the
Coaldale Copperheads the following
day, en route to a 4-1 home win.
“I just sent the message to the boys
in the dressing room there – I think
it was the best 60 minutes of hockey
we’ve played all year,” beamed head
coach Joel Robinson after the win. “I
just let them know that (if we play) like
that for 60 minutes, and we play a hard
60 minutes, it’s going to be hard to beat
a team like us. Especially when we got
speed and we’re hard on the forecheck.
“If you go through the lineup to-
night, everyone did their job – every-
one pulled on the rope.”
Despite the win, the club is looking
forward to building and maintaining
momentum as the season progresses.
They hope to shake the stigma of los-
ing to teams around or below them in
the standings.
“We don’t like to see what happened
(on Saturday night), but when you
come out and put an effort like that
(versus Coaldale) on the board and get
a win like that against a top team in the
division … that’s a big win for us,” said
Robinson. “( Just like) last Friday’s win
against Cochrane … these are the im-
portant games because when it comes
time to play playoffs, we’re going to
need these two points.
“It’s unfortunate what happened
last night, but tonight’s response was
the best thing you could ask for as a
coach.”
The Kings used a solid second pe-
riod, where they built a 3-0 lead over
Coaldale. Despite firing 17 shots in the
third period, Coaldale couldn’t solve
Kings goaltender Brett Willan until the
final minute of action.
“The shutout part kind of stings, but
the team did good and helped me out
a lot,” said Willan. “They really pushed
them and we came out with the W. It
makes my job a lot easier when there is
a team out there to help me out – to get
the rebounds if I let them out and clear
the zone. It helps out a lot.”
Unfortunately, against the Rams, the
Kings build a 3-0 first period lead be-
fore the wheels fell off. They allowed
four straight second period goals en
route to the loss.
“We just didn’t play a full 60 – we
came out and played a good 20 in the
first period,” said Robinson. “Then we
let them bring the game to us and we
kind of sat back on our heels cause we
had a 3-0 lead … we let them skate
around us at times.
“It just wasn’t a full 60 minutes of
hockey and in this league, it’s so im-
portant; it makes or breaks you.”
The Kings will now take their 4-4-
1 record and hit the road for a pair
of games beginning with the Airdrie
Lightning on Oct. 25, before traveling
to Sylvan Lake on Oct. 27.
Their next home game is Nov. 2 (8
p.m.) when they host Stettler at the
Strathmore Family Centre.
The curling club currently hosts
a men’s league that goes Monday
nights, a ladies league that runs on
Tuesday nights, a mixed league with
games on Thursday and Friday nights,
a junior league that plays Wednesdays
after school, a high school league
that plays Thursdays after school, and
a drop-in league that goes Monday,
Wednesday and Friday afternoons
from 2-4 p.m.
The various leagues also host bon-
spiels through the season: a shorty
bonspiel goes Jan. 4; mixed bonspiel
Jan. 22-26; ladies bonspiel Feb. 6-9;
junior bonspiel Feb. 21-23; and men’s
bonspiel March 16-22.
This year, the Big Country Senior
Sports Society is hosting a fun curling
bonspiel on Nov. 19.
Although the leagues are starting
play this month, it’s not too late to
join in.
“We welcome anyone to sign up on
the spare list, which is a good way to
get started,” said Shackleton.
The drop-in curling league is an-
other good place to get started or to
improve your skill set.
