State of local
emergency declared
for Siksika Nation
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor

Rapid snow melt is causing overland flooding,

United for Humboldt forcing Siksika Nation to declare a state of local
emergency on April 16.
While 30 homes have already been impacted
by the rising waters, efforts are focused on 300
Page 15 km of the 560 km of roads on Siksika Nation that
are deemed impassable due to flooding.
The washout of roads has impeded access to
emergency vehicles and school buses. The Siksi-
ka Nation chief and council have identified risk
to people, property and commercial and indus-
trial structures, and have mandated specific de-
partments to execute a seven-day emergency re-
sponse plan to protect structures. Residents are
currently not being evacuated.
Fire on Ice “I think the misconception is that it’s like
the 2013 floods and it’s not at that extent,” said
Kelsey Solway, communication representative
for the Siksika Emergency Management Team.
“People aren’t being forced out of their homes.
Right now we’re dealing with the road conditions
and if conditions deteriorate we’ll see flooding in
basements and septic backups, but this is what
the situation is right now. We’ve stressed that this

According to Environment Canada, overland
flooding has also prompted Lethbridge County
to declare a state of local emergency on Monday,
and regions such as Vulcan County, and the Mu-

Local taxi service shuts down illegal operations

MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Nearly two months after the dead-
line passed for taxi services to receive
their chauffeur permits and comply to
newly implemented Taxi Bylaw chang-
es, Strathmore is officially finding itself
without cabs on its streets.
Owner of Economic Taxi and Strath-
more Taxi, Martin DePeuter, who was
operating his business illegally since
February, publicly announced the ter-
mination of his taxi service at midnight
on April 15.
The decision followed an ongoing le-
gal battle between the Town of Strath-
more and the local taxi company, nu-
merous fines, the lack of a necessary
chauffeur permit – or driver’s permit –
and the refusal to abide by municipal
and provincial regulations.
“We had hoped the taxi company
would have complied, but we have
heard they’re ceasing operations,” said
Mayor Pat Fule. “We have been con-
tacted by another potential company,
and another opportunity is also being
discussed. We realize this is an incon-
venience to Strathmore’s residents, but
over the years complaints about the
taxis came forward and council felt we
had to act.”
According to the Town of Strathmore,
local residents made a request in 2015,
which led to a review of the Taxi Bylaw.
Local taxi companies, which at the time
included Strathmore Hotshot/ Shuttle
Service Shuttle, were involved in dis-
cussions to address community safety
concerns.
As a result, the town proposed the by-
law include the following requirements:
criminal record checks, routine vehicle
inspections, and obtaining a basic fist
aid certificate.
Yet, Strathmore’s taxi companies re-
fused to adhere to the amendments
– specifically the first aid components
noting that the drivers were against it
– that prompted the shutdown of the
Strathmore Hotshot/ Shuttle Service on
Jan. 31. Economy Taxi and Strathmore
Taxi, however, continued their opera-
tions. DePeuter said he is not comment-
ing on the issue at the moment and con-
tinues taking legal actions.
A statement released by the Town of
Strathmore states the town feels citi-
zens deserve safe, smoke free, clean,
and mechanically sound taxis in the
community and that all businesses op-

Multi-jurisdictional incident leads to arrest

MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
A Calgary man is being charged with multiple
criminal offences after a multi-jurisdictional inci-
dent that involved the Strathmore RCMP.
Thirty-two-year-old Cole Matthew Peoples faces
14 charges including possession of a controlled
substance, using a firearm in the commission of
an offence, dangerous driving and impaired driv-
ing.
“This incident highlights the unpredictability
of criminals and the dangerous crimes they of-
ten commit when utilizing stolen vehicles,” said
Sgt. Dennis Delaronde with the Strathmore RCMP
detachment. “The Strathmore RCMP was pleased
with the ongoing partnership demonstrated by
Calgary Police Service’s HAWCS helicopter. CPS
members are thanked for their assistance in ef-
fecting the safe arrest of the suspect and putting a
stop to his dangerous driving.”
Strathmore RCMP responded to a report around
10:30 a.m. on April 14 of a robbery with a firearm
in Wrangler Park in Rocky View County. The call
informed officials that a man was seen brandish-
ing a firearm and travelling towards Calgary in a
stolen Ford F-150. Shortly after, the RCMP received
another call reporting a suspicious vehicle, which
matched the previous description, at the Moun-
tain View Cemetery. After Calgary police were no-
tified, the vehicle fled and was later located by
HAWCS helicopter driving dangerously at high
speed north on Deerfoot Trail. Once the truck left
city limits it became stuck in a field southwest of
Balzac, where Calgary Police and RCMP members
from Airdrie and Strathmore took the driver and
lone occupant into custody.
Peoples has been remanded into custody and is
scheduled to appear via CCTV in Siksika Provin-
cial Court on April 19.

Jake’s Gift is a love letter of thanks to all vet-

of a Canadian Second World War veteran who re-

grave of the brother who never came home.

Debating agriculture strategies
and farmer rights
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Wheatland County’s agricultural ser-
vice board recently met to discuss the
setting of strategic goals for the county.
“We would like to know what con-
tent is desired, and depending on the
results you are looking for, how we will
get there,” said Angie Lucas, Wheatland
County’s general manager of agricul-
ture, community and protective servic-
es, as she addressed Wheatland County
council on April 11.
This led to a discussion on landown-
er/farmer’s rights.
“How can I gauge what a landown-
er wants to do with their land?” asked
Wheatland County Councillor Tom Ik-
ert. “I don’t want to make a decision on
a guess.”
Reeve Glenn Koester agreed.
“Being a councillor and a farmer, I
really wrestle with this. Having the
county telling me what to do with my
farming is difficult,” said Koester.
He said the desires of farmers vary a
great deal from developers and small
landowners. Koester warned policies
and plans have the potential to impact
farming decisions and land values.
Councillor Amber Link said ratepay-
ers have told her they don’t like gov-
ernment interfering with their property
rights.
Property rights was the contentious
issue faced earlier in the decade by
the Conservative government, when
they set Bill 19, 36 and 50, allowing oil
development on farms without owner

Over the Moon to perform in Strathmore area

MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Just over three years ago, drummer
and percussionist Craig Bignell found
himself slightly terrified and the cen-
tre of attention, clutching an acoustic
guitar while attending a dinner party at
actor and singer Tom Jackson’s house.
The party included numerous mem-
bers from the Alberta community who
sat around a circle and took turns
performing songs. Suzanne Levesque,
who met Bignell previously when he
had recorded drums, percussion and
banjo for the band she was involved
in, grabbed her bass and joined him in
singing a love song. That’s the moment
Bignell fell head over heels in love with
Levesque, his Over the Moon band
member and now wife of two years.
Since that meeting, their feelings for
each other haven’t changed and indeed
became a direct influence on the duo’s
band name, and their career has cata-
pulted to great success.
Although it took three years to release
their first CD, Moondancer, their music
has hit it big in the UK and Europe. As
well, music magazines in Russia picked
Growing Families Society
up their story, and the acoustic roots
duo was recently approached to book
an 18-day tour in China.
However, long before receiving in-
ternational recognition, the award-
winning vocal and multi-instrumental
artists left their mark in Canadian cit-
ies and towns. Specifically Strathmore,
where the Strathmore Musical Arts So-
ciety has followed their success closely
and will be hosting Over the Moon next
week before the band heads on tour in
Ontario.
“The Strathmore Musical Arts Society
has always believed in us,” said Bignell.
“They were the ones that reached out
to us when we just started, and they
come and follow us to some of our
shows. They’re always there… and we Over the Moon’s Craig Bignell and Suzanne Levesque will be returning to the Strathmore area to per-

Ken Bourassa: The paint doctor is in
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Creativity and culture played a large part in Ken
Bourassa’s upbringing. The Alberta artist can’t re-
member a time when he wasn’t playing music or
creating art.
Yet when he won Canada’s largest national
scholarship while attending the Alberta College of
Art, Bourassa didn’t just flourish – he was cata-
pulted into the spotlight, transforming his role as
an artist into becoming a public figure for the arts
by appearing in magazines and newspapers.
Shortly after, Bourassa began teaching across
the province before becoming manager of two
large picture framing facilities that allowed him to
remain active within the arts, learn the business
side of the industry, and network with companies
and corporations. Eventually Bourassa was hired
to create fine art for corporations – including Shell
Canada – where the then 20-something ambitious
Bourassa would go on to create thousands of piec-
es, from paintings to sculptures to product pho-
tography.

I know everything about what goes into all the

One looked at historical perspectives and fac-
tors that contribute to farming success. Two out-
lined a vision statement and definition of agricul-
ture, using them to develop strategies and policy.
Strategies developed by the ASB would also be
reflected in the municipal development plan.
“An agricultural strategy as defined in the five
examples reviewed, indicated the commitment of
the municipal government to advancing and se-
mendations for activities and initiatives that sup-
port the industry, and highlight the importance of
the industry to the municipality,” said Alyssa Rob,
Wheatland County’s environmental coordinator.
The board concluded the discussion by ask-

to set up workshop meetings, where they could
review information and develop strategies that
could be put forward for acceptance.

The very best of the Strathmore Skating
Club was put on display at their annual
Fire On Ice show April 13 at the Strath-
more Family Centre.
Figure skaters as young as five and all
the way into their late teens performed
for two hours, showing off the skills they
developed in a season’s worth of competi-
tion and practices.
“The kids did a great job and we had a
great turnout in the stands. It’s always a
fun day for the kids and I thought it was
another great show,” said Strathmore Skat-
ing Club Coach Jennifer Wickson.
More than 30 performers took to the
ice, debuting a pair of programs they have
been working on in front of a big audi-

Stevens joins brother at
Western Texas College
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
A brotherly connection helped
deliver Destiny Stevens to the ro-
deo hotbed of college athletics.
Following in her brother’s foot-
steps, Destiny will join Hayze at
Western Texas College next fall
and will join the Westerners rodeo
program.
“I’m really excited to go to col-
lege and I’m going to try my best
to win at the college level,” said
Destiny, a Grade 12 student at
Holy Cross Collegiate. “I’m really
excited to see what college is all
about.”
“We are very excited to have
Destiny join our program. That
girl can really rope and her barrel
horse is really nice, too,” said West-
erners women’s rodeo Head Coach
Greg Rhodes.
The Westerners compete out of
the Southwest Region, which has
historically produced some of the
greatest rodeo athletes that com-
pete on the grandest stage of them
all, the National Finals Rodeo.
“The list goes on and on and on:
Ryan Grey, Wes Stevenson, Jake
Wright and Trevor Brazile are just
a few who went on from this re-
gion to compete in the NFR. This
area produces some of the best
cowboys and cowgirls in North
America,” said Rhodes.
But before those rodeo athletes
starred on the big stage of the NFR,
they tore up the college ranks and
competed in the College National
Finals Rodeo. Rhodes has made a
career out of sending the top ro-
deo contestants to the CNFR. He
has sent a team or an individual to
the CNFR in each of his 20 years at
Western Texas.
The bright lights of the NFR and
CNFR are right up the alley for
Destiny, who has competed in the
Indian Finals Rodeo in each of the
past three years.
“We don’t bring a whole gob
of people into our program each
year. We only bring in those who
we think have a chance at going to
the CNFR. We are trying to win the
a l
realestatereps
Katelyn
Haffner
CNFR each year and we think Des-
tiny can help us out,” said Rhodes,
who has sent 24 individual and
teams to the CNFR in his time in
Snyder, Tex.
There were a couple of schools
trying to rope in the local rodeo
star, but ultimately having her
brother already attending Western
Texas was a big factor in Desti-
ny’s decision. Receiving a full-ride
scholarship, having her housing
and her rodeo fees paid for was
the cherry on top.
“Hayze says he really likes the
school and rodeo program. He en-
joys getting to practice every day
and I think that will only help out
my roping skills,” said Destiny. “My
parents were talking to the school
for me since Hayze headed down
last year, so that definitely helped.”
While Hayze suits up in the team
roping discipline, Destiny will hop
on the saddle for her two staple
events, breakaway roping and bar-
rel racing, but she isn’t closing the
door on pole bending. She will
bring her three horses with her to
school.
With the greatly superior weath-
er for rodeos, the season is much
longer in Texas than it is in south-
ern Alberta.
Destiny wrapped up her first
weekend in the Alberta High
School Rodeo Association last
weekend with a second-place
finish on Day 2 of the Taber Ro-
deo. Next fall, the Westerners will
compete in five rodeos before the
Christmas break and another five
in the New Year, hopefully ending
with a trip to the CNFR in Casper,
Wyo., in June.
Having just committed to the
Westerner program, Destiny is still
trying to narrow down her field of
study but believes she will take a
route in agricultural studies. Her
brother is in the business program.
Now with the stress of finding
a suitable college program off her
mind, Destiny can focus on finish-
ing her studies at HCC and take
aim at another provincial title in
the AHSRA and the Indian Rodeo
later this summer.

Sheen eliminated, Cox plays for chance at WHL title

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Moose Jaw Warriors were a run-
away freight train in the Western Hock-
ey League regular season.
A mainstay in the Canadian Hockey
League Top 10, the Warriors wrapped
up the season as the second-best team
in the CHL.
The Warriors had everything: a solid
goaltender, NHL prospects, perhaps the
best group of over-agers in the league,
a historic goal scorer and depth at the
blue line.
They laid waste to teams in the regu-
lar season, finishing with 109 points
and a 52-15-2-3 record. Everyone in
Saskatchewan was gearing up for a
long playoff drive, along with former
UFA Bison Barrett Sheen, who was
traded to the Warriors early in the sea-
son from the Kootenay Ice.
But those dreams of hoisting the
Warriors first Ed Chynoweth Cup and
advancing to their first Memorial Cup
came crashing down in Game 7 when
the Warriors got punched in the mouth
by the Swift Current Broncos April 16
at Mosaic Place.
“We thought we had a pretty special
team here. We went up against a re-
ally good team – probably the second-
best team in our league, and we lost.
It sucks, but it was a great experience
and I had a great time,” said Sheen.
Meeting the Warriors in the Eastern
Conference semifinals were the Bron-
cos, who loaded up with former 30-
and 40-goal scorers at the trade dead-
line. The Broncos finished the season
ranked fourth in the CHL. If it weren’t
for the new WHL playoff format similar
to the NHL’s, these teams – the top two
teams in the league – wouldn’t have
met until the conference final.
The series lived up to the hype, and
then Game 7 happened. The first six
games saw the Broncos take a 3-2 lead,
but the Warriors forced Game 7 with
a come-from-behind triple-overtime
thriller.
But the wheels fell off in Game 7,
when Calgary Flames prospect Glenn
Gawdin supplied two goals and two as-
sists in the 6-0 whitewashing.
“It was a hard-fought series that saw
six overtime periods take place,” said
Sheen. “It was a really close series, but
it sucked to end the season like that.”
Sheen was ready for a long playoff
drive. He racked up 10 goals and 21
points in 13 games in helping the Bi-
sons reach their only Telus Cup ap-
pearance in 2014.
Now in his fourth season in the
WHL and first extended playoff drive, There is still one former Bison in the

WAA hands out annual awards
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Wheatland Athletic Association
celebrated another successful season
and the 26th year of the program’s ex-
istence by handing out team awards for
the peewee, bantam and midget pro-
grams April 13 at the Strathmore Civic
Centre.
The season was successful for many
reasons and was highlighted by the
Wheatland Warriors South Division title
in the South Central Alberta Hockey
League.
The local double-A bantam team
knocked off a pair of higher-seeded
teams en route to earning the division
banner, mainly due to the outstanding
play between the pipes of Dylan Fries-
Abel who was named the team’s most
valuable player.
“(Fries-Abel) has a willingness to bat-
tle and his compete level is second to
none. Without him, we probably don’t
finish where we did,” said Warriors
Head Coach Cody Brown.
Reaching the SCAHL finals, Fries-Abel
faced more than 30 shots in four of the
Warriors seven playoff games, finishing
with a .950 save percentage and 1.73
goals-against average.
The Warriors finished the regular
season with the sixth-most goals in the
regular season with 144. Leading the
offensive charge was Jerrin Hendricks,
who led the Warriors with 23 goals, 21
assists and 44 points in 38 games.
Lachlan Stewart was awarded the top
defencemen award after he turned in a
pair of goals and 14 points in 39 games.
The jump up from the peewee Braves
program to the bantam level can be
tough, but it didn’t seem to bother Phil-
ip Raycroft, who took home the rookie
of the year award. Raycroft scored five
goals and 14 assists in 37 games.
With such a drastic turnover in the
Warrior roster from last season, Brown
needed new players to step up and fill
the holes from last year’s graduating
group. Leading the way for the division
champs were Nate Gillies and Jarred
Schrock, who split the most improved
award. Schrock scored 13 goals and Gil-
lis netted a pair of snipes In 40 games.

Each year, the WAA hands out the
Craig Kletzel award to a member from

year’s recipient on the Warriors was
Domenic Ficaccio.
SUCCESSFUL CHIEFS
The Wheatland Chiefs weren’t able
to defend their provincial midget title
from last season, but still cranked out
an incredibly successful regular season.
One of the players who has been a
mainstay in the WAA program was Lu-
cas Muenchrath, and he was honoured
by winning the top scorer and the ex-
emplary player award in his final sea-
son in the program.

LIVE LIFE WITH A CLEAR VIEW
OF THE FINISH LINE
I recently attended a public meeting
for community input into the needs
of our town for palliative and end
of life care. The cartoon-like clip
shown at the beginning of the
session, marking some of the
different, difficult stages families
go through when confronted with
a ‘no hope for a cure diagnosis’
by a medical professional, was
incredibly moving. Families dealing
with this kind of trauma, undeniably
need their communities to support
skillfully care for and about them.
There is no doubt about it that main
care-givers of patients, also need
someone to surround them with
love and to care for and to comfort
them. This is partly the drive behind
the idea of having such a facility.
Just having others around who
are simultaneously facing similar
circumstances, has the potential of
creating intimacy of community that
may otherwise be less natural.
I lost both my parents, within a year
of each other, to cancer, when I
was a young adult. Having been

moment, and the whole weight of
the heaviness of depression lifted
at “FREE!”, spoken by a pastor I did
not even know. God answered my
prayer of “Help, God.”, which I had
prayed months before.
Many people ‘do’ life and death
without support or spiritual
guidance and help. Some choose to
hold the ‘hope’ that there is simply
nothing after death. It is a risky
philosophy. I firmly believe eternity
is not a natural-born concept,
but a spiritual one, placed on the
hearts of men by their Creator, like
a ‘homing-device’. He made us, to
spend eternity with Him, and Jesus
is fallen man’s way back to Father
God.
It is no secret that life is terminal,
and death lies between us and the
rest of forever. As much as death is
a part of life, it is an uncomfortable
topic, and no-one wants to dwell
on it. However, a person does well
to live life with a clear view of the
finish line. This short life or ‘TIME’
is, according to God’s Word, where
we choose where we’ll spend
eternity. God Himself gave us free
choice and therefore we are free
to choose whom and what he will
believe. The gravity of consequence
lies in the responsibility of the
freedom of choice.

already played one game and it took
us a while to get going,” said Thurston,
who won three Allan Cups as a player
but is still searching for his first ring as
a member of the coaching staff.
Needing a win to secure a bye into
the semifinals, Lacombe cooked the
eventual champion Stoney Creek club
5-3 April 11.
Desmet set up another local product
Kyle Sheen for Lacombe’s second goal
of the game, and also picked up an as-
sist on the insurance marker from No-
lan Huysmans at the 9:13 mark of the
third.
“I thought we played a pretty solid
game,” said Desmet. “We didn’t give
them too many opportunities, our pen-
alty kill was solid and we shut them
down for the most part.”
Earning a bye into the semis, the Gen-
erals hosted the quarterfinal winner
from the other side of the bracket, the
Elsipogtog Hawks of New Brunswick.
“We played a flawless game. We out-
worked them and outcompeted them in
every aspect; we had four lines rolling
and shut down their top weapons of-
fensively,” said Thurston.
Desmet set up the opening marker to
Marshall in the second period, as the
Generals picked up the 4-1 victory April
13, advancing to the championship
which was aired nationally on TSN.
“We had some good opportunities,
but they are a highly skilled team and
capitalized on the chances we gave
them,” said Desmet.
Lacombe’s penalty kill (89.3 per cent)
and power play (12.5 per cent) were
both higher than the tournament aver-
age, but cost them when it mattered the
most.
Teegan Moore took a tripping penalty
and Dylan Nowakowski got called for
hooking 26 seconds apart in the first
period, giving Stoney Creek a lengthy
five-on-three power play.
“We got in a little penalty trouble in
the first and that cost us,” said Desmet.
“They scored on a five-on-three, but
they were also able to get a full head of
steam going from those chances.”
It was a difficult way for Lacombe to
end their season, and commitment to
another season with the hopes of end-
ing the abbreviated drought is difficult
to say with a long summer ahead. But
what might help sway any of the local
members of the Lacombe Generals to
come back one more season is a guar-
anteed trip back to the Allan Cup next
year, when they host the 111th install-
ment of one of hockey’s oldest trophies.
They will be searching for their fourth
Allan Cup in franchise history.
