Town’s organics program
shows impressive results
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Considerable participation over the last month in the
residential curbside organics program diverted nearly a
quarter of a million pounds of compostable materials
from the landfill and funneled thousands of dollars back
into Strathmore’s pockets.
Roughly 90 per cent of Strathmore residents partici-
pated in the Town of Strathmore’s program that seeks to
reduce the amount of landfill and lessen environmental
impact.
The green carts hit the streets on June 4 and through-
out the month collected 113 tonnes of organic waste
materials, or 249,000 lbs, making up 38 per cent of the
town’s overall waste.
Strathmore’s statistics are on par with Environment
Canada that states up to 40 per cent of identified or-
ganic waste materials make up residential waste, and
thus contribute to the release of greenhouse gases and
pollution that can leak into the ecosystem.
In 2016, council approved a three-year pilot project in
partnership with then H&H Huxted – now Waste Man-
agement – that led to the creation of the three-acre Class
1 composting site and motivated the institution of the
residential curbside organics program.
“I was shocked… I didn’t think everybody would buy
in that fast, but it’s a growing thing in Canada and the
United States and it’s widespread and worldwide, where
composting in the next big thing,” said Cody Huxted,
operations manager with Waste Management. “You look
at the landfill, in that one month, the amount that we
kept out of the landfill in itself… and now it’s a product
that can be used for agriculture or garden, so I guess it’s
a major benefit.”
Last June a total of 286.06 tonnes of waste and organ-
ics was collected within Strathmore. With 113.58 tonnes
of organics removed during the same month this year,
the town was left with 187.62 tonnes, or 413,631 lbs, of
waste for a total of 301.20 tonnes overall.
“The residential organics collection program has con-
tributed greatly to reduce the amount of waste going to
landfills,” said Strathmore Mayor Pat Fule. “In fact, in the
first few days, 16 tonnes of compostable material was
collected from Strathmore’s green bins.”
The residential curbside organics program is part of
the overall waste management contract with Waste Man-
agement that works in conjunction with the black cart
garbage collection service.
Having envisioned the expansion of the composting
site over the years, Huxted said the additional tonnage
did not affect the site substantially thus far, and ex- Flipping a 360°!

Strathmore Kindness Rocks gets families outside

SABRINA KOOISTRA
Times Contributor
Strathmore Kindness Rocks is a new movement that
offers an adventure-induced crafting experience for
all ages, helping get kids off the couch and exploring
the outdoors.
The premise is to decorate a rock through bedaz-
zling, drawing and painting, and leaving a positive
message or image. The rock is then hidden some-
where in Strathmore and instructions on how to find
the rock are posted on the group’s Facebook page.
Strathmore Kindness Rocks seeks to link communi-
ty members together in an uplifting and creative way.
The activity is reminiscent of geocaching – a trend
that encourages families and friends to use GPS to
discover small packages and random items – but is
designed to be close to home.
For Strathmore Kindness Rocks, and other groups
of the same nature, this is more than an opportunity
to create a town-wide scavenger hunt. It is an oppor-
tunity to showcase one’s artistic skills to others in the
community.
Established on July 6th by Wheatland County resi-
dent and mom Beth-Anna Van Dellen, Strathmore
Kindness Rocks joins two other new community
groups, Strathmore Playground Review and Macaroni
Kid Strathmore-Wheatland, organized by another lo-
cal mother Abbie McCullough. Strathmore Playground
Review is a platform created to deliver first-hand
reviews of local playgrounds, while Macaroni Kid
Strathmore-Wheatland seeks to share information on
events and activities pertinent to Strathmore and area
residents.
“These local Facebook pages (and) groups are so
important to the community… (they) unite us in fun
events and activities that connect, engage, and grow
our community,” McCullough said.
All three groups have been garnering popular-
ity and creating a buzz on Facebook this spring and
summer. Despite the short period they have been in
existence, this trio is seeing a healthy increase in fol-
lowers. Over 60 Facebook users have already liked
Strathmore Playground Review, close to 50 people are
members of the Strathmore Kindness Rocks group,
and Macaroni Kid Strathmore-Wheatland boasts close
to 550 likes.
McCullough finds this an encouraging sign to con-
tinue and grow, and invites others to follow them on
Facebook to review information and updates.
“It gets families outside exploring, trying new
things, visiting many areas of town… and creating
memories together,” she said.
More information can be found on the Facebook
pages for seasonal event notices, contest rules, as well
as more information on how to participate in ongoing
activities.

Strathmore teen heading to national stage
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Chanelle Cooke is an overachiever.
That’s evident from a very long list of
extracurricular activities of sports, clubs
and hobbies that make up much of the
14-year-old’s day. Beyond that, the Strath-
more born-and-raised teenager manages
to achieve honours at Trinity Christian
Academy, acquire top marks in math
competitions, and was a recipient of this
year’s Citizenship Award. But while being
captain of the volleyball team, practicing
mixed martial arts, and raising money
for charities through the school’s leader-
ship program isn’t enough, the Grade 9
student was also crowned Miss Teenage
Wheatland County earlier this year and
is now actively raising money to repre-
sent the area on the national stage; Miss
Teenage Canada.
“I like to keep myself busy to give me
something to do and being active is a
very important part,” Cooke said. “This is
a lot of work. I was pleasantly surprised
by how much work pageant people have
to put into this. I was a little shocked and
overwhelmed at first, but then I thought,
it’s fine, I have honours, if I can survive
school I can survive this.”
Cooke’s future ambitions include act-
ing and modelling which prompted the
youngster to take an interest in the Miss
Teenage Alberta two years ago. Unfortu-
nately, Cooke didn’t qualify at the age of
12 to participate and missed the dead-
line the following year. While she started
setting her sights on other interests this
year, her mother received a phone call
from the organization motivating Cooke
to send in her application.

Even though her efforts during the
interview portion and competing at the
two-day provincial competition didn’t
earn her the title of Miss Teenage Alber-
ta, her score was high enough to award
her the title of Miss Wheatland County
and qualify for nationals in Toronto with
a dozen other young Alberta women.
In addition to requirements of attend-
ing local events, becoming active on so-
cial media, writing blogs, and finding
sponsors, the oldest of five kids is now
staring at a $2,800 entry fee.
Cooke is therefore hoping to raise
money through a bottle drive and gain
sponsors by promoting their products
and services, making appearances at
events, and having the business or name
displayed on her banner during the
Strathmore Stampede and Heritage Days.
With her passion for education,
Cooke’s platform consists of raising mon-
ey for the WE charities – an international
charity and educational partner – to pro-
vide children with education. She plans
on selling bracelets made by women in
Kenya where half of the proceeds make
their way back to their families.
So far, Cooke has made appearances
at local farmer’s markets, Canada Day,
the Newsy Neighbour Festival, and will
be available at the Strathmore Stampede
and Heritage Day this weekend.
“I really enjoyed this whole experi-
ence, it made me get involved in my
community, and I’ve met so many people
and I’ve become a better public speaker,”
she said. “It’s nice to see people in my
community and try to raise money for
things I’m passionate about.”

in competing in more pageants, her fo-

for the community,” said Carmen Erison, assistant
director of library services with Strathmore Mu-
nicipal Library.
“This is a whole new show, we’re very excited.
Who doesn’t love a free magic show? We usually
love to provide some sort of program for families
every year for the Summer Reading Program and
they usually have a great wrap up party. This was
something that he offered to us and we felt it was
the right connection and a great partnership to
bring him back.”
The library is also hosting a new summertime
event, led entirely by three Indigenous students
– two who are currently working at the Marigold
Library System and another working as liaison stu-
dent with the Strathmore Family and Community
Support Services (FCSS). The Siksika Nation stu-
like this we jumped all over it,” Erison said. “I just
think that it’s important to learn about other cul-
tures and I think that this could be a really great
program for children. They have created this pro-
gram and we are so thrilled because this is a pro-
gram where our hands are off of it, it’s all of them
creating this program.”
Two days after the Indigenous Summer Program,
one of the library’s staff members, Heather Ulmer,
who owns her own scrapbooking business, will
be sharing her artistic talent with the public with a
newly introduced Creative Card Making event. All
ages are welcome and participants will walk away
with several of their own greeting card creations.
Magician Christopher Cool will be performing
his show at 2 p.m. in the library’s program room
on Aug. 10. The event is free to the public and
no registration is required. The Indigenous Sum-
mer Program goes Aug. 13 from 2 to 3 p.m. for
children aged five to 10. This program is also free
to attend and no registration is required. Creative
Card Making for children aged seven to 10 takes
place on Aug. 15 from 1 to 2:30 p.m.; and for those
aged 11 to 17, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Cost for the
program is $2 per child and includes supplies for
several greeting cards. Registration for this pro-
gram began on Aug. 1. Space is limited.

Don’t judge

by the seeds
you plant.

Promising start to
composting program
Continued from Page 1
Despite its infancy, the program is expected to
grow by bringing local and commercial businesses
on board – some that have already started partic-
ipating. According to Huxted, Waste Management
will continue to provide education in schools and
increase the amount of tours of the facility.
“We’re kind of ahead of a lot of areas, and it
seems like I’ve talked all day, every day, about
composting for the last three years; education is
the big thing,” said Huxted.
“We wanted Strathmore to be a leader. To him
(Colin Huxted) it’s a pretty big thing. We had a lot
of hours and a lot of time invested into getting
Strathmore to this level, and I’m proud of it.”
The Town of Strathmore rolled out the 240 li-
tre (L) black carts in January, and later supplied
those residents with a 120 L green cart and kitch-
en catcher for a cost of $225,897. Residents can
upgrade their current green cart with the town for
a 240 L green cart at no additional cost.

Rosebud women Trisha Lewandowski (third from left in brown skirt) and Maki Van Dyke (center, with red vertical stripes on her
blouse) rehearsed for their roles as chorus members and extras in the opera Carmen, to be performed Aug. 4 in the Badlands
Amphitheatre in Drumheller.
Rosebud women share once-in-a-lifetime opera experience
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Maki Van Dyke and Trisha Lewandowski of
Rosebud are performing as chorus members and
extras in the opera Carmen, in Badlands Amphi-
theatre in Drumheller, Aug. 4.
Carmen is a young woman who’s wooed by
many men. She ignores them and seduces Don
José, who’s already promised to marry Micaela.
Don José abandons Micaela and goes off with Car-
men, but Carmen soon rejects him in favour of the
toreador, Escamillo. Micaela tries to persuade Don
José to return to her, but he declares his undying
love for Carmen, just before stabbing Carmen to
death.
This performance is being produced by Mercury
Opera, in collaboration with Badlands Amphithe-
atre and Opera Classica Europa. Anna Goma, a
mezzo-soprano from Spain, is performing the role
of Carmen. Soloists are also coming from Toronto,
Okotoks and Edmonton. Singers from around the
province will perform as extras and chorus mem-
bers.
“I feel so honoured – when do you have that
chance to be part of an opera chorus,” said Van
Dyke. “I did it because I’ve never been cast in a
musical and because I do love singing. This is an
incredible opportunity for me to sing with the
best in the province, and some world-class people
who are coming in from out of the country. I get
to sing with them on this beautiful, beautiful set

with a really fun story with great costumes.” Doug Taylor Photo
The chorus members have a few local rehearsals
and two full days and an evening with the entire
cast.
But the principal soloists won’t join them until
the final weekend.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Le-
wandowski. “It was delightful to hear (that) the
professionals, these singers from Toronto, be de-
lighted with the facility and the environment of
the amphitheatre and the Passion Play site. They
were just so excited to be in this space.”
The Rosebud women are learning to sing in
French, but that’s not their only challenge. They
had a lot of laughter about a scene where the men
and women extras are directed to flirt.
“What does flirting in opera look like?” Lewan-
dowski asked. “Can I actually learn to flirt without
looking like an awkward junior higher? I don’t
know if I can actually do that part. Maybe there
are junior highers who have mastered this.”
The best part of performing in Carmen, they
said, is that they’re doing it with friends.
“I’m doing this because there are other people
in my community who are doing this,” said Le-
wandowski. “They equip and allow me to learn
better and faster and be a better me. It’s the peo-
ple we hang out with that make us good.”
Carmen will be performed Aug. 4 at 7 p.m., in
the Badlands Amphitheatre in Drumheller, the site
of the Badlands Passion Play. Get tickets at bad-
landsamp.com or 403-820-2001.

Both factors were prevalent in the 61st annual
rodeo last weekend.
The three-day event saw hundreds of fans pass
through the rodeo gates to enjoy some of the fin-
est rodeo with some great weather.
With 12 different events, there were 193 con-
testants, with 32 athletes from across Wheatland
County.
The local cowboys and cowgirls might not have
received the results they would have liked, but
they certainly enjoyed being part of the historic
show in front of family and friends.
“I was a little nervous before my ride with my
family and friends here, but once the bucking
chutes opened, I was fine,” said Griffin Koester, a
Rockyford product who rode in the junior steer
Cranbrook’s Brandy Vogt captured the ladies’
barrel racing title with a steamy 15.932-second
run.
Barrhead’s Tate Schmidt and his partner Kash
Bonnett of Ponoka pulled off an impressive time
of 6.5 seconds to win the team-roping event.
Blake Newton of Del Bonita, Alta., set the bar
high with a 3.9-second run in the steer riding
July 28. His run was more than a full second fast-
er than Brian Soucy’s time of 5.0 seconds to win
the title.
In other events, Lindon Woods won the bare-
back event with a score of 73 points on a horse
named Hy N Dry. Tanner Eno of Coronation rode
Hybrid Theory for a first-place score of 78 in the
bull riding.
The calves were speedy in the tie-down, as Colt
Cornet of Brant, Alta., saw his July 28 tie of 8.7
seconds hold up for the win.
In the junior barrel racing, Janae Wilson rode
to a victory in 16.319 seconds.

Sylvan Lake’s Justin Arksey took the
junior bull riding title with a 74 on a
bull named 67X.
The junior steer riding was all but
settled after the first day of competi-
tion, as Mayerthorpe’s Dusty Golden
and Coronation’s Cauy Schmidt got in
front of the pack with a 73.
Arrowwood’s Beau Gardner is hav-
ing a fantastic season and currently sits
third in the FCA with $1,658.22 in earn-

Canadian Finals Rodeo later this fall.
“The cow wasn’t as good as I hoped,

Conservatives urge Liberals to approve trade agreement

MARTIN SHIELDS
MP for Bow River
Canada is a trading nation. We ex-
port enormous quantities of products
to countries around the world. These
exports support a tremendous number
of jobs and industries across our coun-
try. In fact, one in five Canadian jobs

bill to approve the agreement far too
late in the spring session. Because of
the Liberal delay, there was simply no
time to pass it.
Our Conservative leader, Andrew
Scheer, recently wrote the prime minis-
ter directly to ask for an emergency ses-
sion of parliament this summer to ratify
the CPTPP. Unfortunately, the Liberals
have chosen to reject this request.
With the recent American tariffs on
Canadian goods, we need to diversify
our export markets so our manufactur-
ers have somewhere to ship their prod-
ucts other than the United States. In the
Bow River riding, we have all kinds of
agricultural producers exporting world-
class products. The CPTPP gives our
agricultural producers reduced-tariff ac-
cess to 13 per cent of the global econ-
omy.
The impact of having more access to
foreign markets is huge. Many of the ef-
fects are indirect, but make no mistake
– they mean more money in our pock-
ets. CPTPP has the potential to boost
Canadian income by $20 billion over
the next decade alone. That’s going to
increase our whole country’s prosperity
in the long term.
We can’t wait until the fall to act. We
need to approve this critical trade agree-
ment as soon as possible. Conservatives
will continue to press the government
to protect Canadian jobs and prosperity
by getting the CPTPP ratified.
Canada needs a government that will
show leadership and get trade deals
done. Fortunately, the 2019 election is
right around the corner.

SPORTS Contestant list released
for Stampede
TYLER LOWEY

Times Reporter

Contestants vying in the annual Strathmore Stampede

Games
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Three of the finest local athletes
have made their way to the Maritimes
with dreams of bringing home gold at
the Special Olympics Canada Summer
Games.
Scott Pagenkopf, Emma Bittorf and
Justin Thompson all qualified in the
past year for the games, which started
July 31 in Antigonish, N.S.
Pagenkopf, 25, was the first to qualify
after he won gold in powerlifting dur-
ing the Alberta Summer Games July 7
to 9, 2017, in Medicine Hat.
Pagenkopf, a Gleichen product,
walked away with gold after claiming
first place in the squat with a lift of
155-kilograms (kg), bench-pressing 110
kg and deadlifting 225 kg.
“This is going to be an awesome
event and a really fun one,” said Pagen-
kopf. “I’m going to go out there and try
to come back with some gold medals.”
The local lifter will be competing
in the male 145 kg-plus division. Pa-
genkopf’s competition was one of the
first to get underway in Nova Scotia, as
his competition took place Aug. 1. He
is one of four members representing
Team Alberta at the national event.
When the competition starts, Pagen-
kopf will have nine total lifts in the
bench press, deadlift and squat, to de-
termine a national champion.
Joining Pagenkopf in Nova Scotia is
the youngest athlete on Team Alberta
in Emma Bittorf.
Bittorf, 15, who began golfing four
years ago, has already ascended through
the provincial ranks and finished first
at the Summer Games in Medicine Hat
last summer after carding a 67 and a 56.
“I’m really looking forward to this
week. I’m going to have some family
there along with all my friends on Team
Alberta. I’m going to try and win gold,”
said Bittorf.
Entering Grade 10 at Strathmore
High School, Bittorf got into the sport
through the encouragement of her fam-
ily. Since then, she has taken to it like a
natural and has put in a lot of work to
Scott Pagenkopf was one of three local athletes that made the trip to Ed-
monton last month for a weekend of team bonding and sport specific train-
ing. Now, all three athletes are in Nova Scotia competing for the Special
Olympic Canada Summer Games.

get ready for the national tournament.
This past winter, Bittorf exercised plenty to get into her
best shape and received great support from the Strathmore
Golf Club in the pursuit of her goals.
“Brian Bassen and everyone at the Golf Club have really
gotten behind Emma this past year with support. Once she
qualified, they gave her access to the driving range and a
couple rounds of golf,” said Emma’s father, Darren.
The right-handed golfer hopes her short game travels with
her to Nova Scotia and has the comfort of knowing she can
pound it down the fairway with her Big Dog driver. Emma is
one of two girls on the seven-man team representing Alberta.
The golf tournament started Wednesday, Aug. 1, and wraps
up Aug. 3. She will be competing in the open-aged female
division.
The third local athlete to make the cross-country trip for
the national tournament is Thompson, a swimmer who won
gold in the 25-metre (m) breaststroke and silver in the 25 m
backstroke, 50 m backstroke, 50 m freestyle and 50 m breast-
stroke during last summer’s summer games.
Thompson was one of the 101 Alberta athletes that con-
verged on the University of Alberta campus earlier in June
for a team-bonding weekend, while also preparing one final
time in their specific sports.
The 19-year-old Thompson is swimming from Aug. 1 to
Aug. 4 in different events.
All events can be viewed on livestream through the Spe-
cial Olympic website as the three locals go for gold and a
chance to represent their country at the 2019 Special Olym-
pics World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi, of the United Arab
Emirates.
Rodeo were announced last week and the list features
plenty of local talent with many of the season’s best from
the world of rodeo.
The third-largest Canadian Stampede will feature cow-
boys and cowgirls from the Professional Rodeo Cowboys
Association (PRCA) and the Canadian Professional Ro-
deo Association (CPRA), as they compete for the $20,000
prize.
After announcing his retirement during the Calgary
Stampede, local product and national bull riding icon
Scott Schiffner will be making his final appearance at the
Strathmore Stampede Aug. 6.
Schiffner announced his retirement in July but said
there were a few more rodeos he was still planning on
attending. Fans from all over will get the chance to see
Schiffner compete one last time on the final day of com-
petition when he tries to cover a bull named Compton
Bound.
Schiffner’s ride on the final day will be the only time
the rodeo starts at 3 p.m. During the first three days of
competition, the rodeo starts at 1 p.m.
Riding in the same group as Schiffner will be the cur-
rent CPRA season-leader Jared Parsonage. He is in first
with 440 points. Behind him with 375 points and riding
Aug. 3 is Cody Lee Coverchuck.
The current PRCA season-leader Sage Kimzey rides
Aug. 5. Kimzey, an Oklahoma cowboy, has won over
$200,000 this season.
Denver Johnson makes his return to Strathmore as the
No. 1 ranked header in the CPRA for the team-roping
event. He and team-roping partner Tristin Woolsey of
Nanton are leading the pack with 392.5 points and are
scheduled to ride Aug. 5.
“We started off this year really good and kept it going.
We hit a little bit of a bump midway through but we have
found our groove again,” said Johnson. “We just get along
really well, (we) work hard every day at it. That’s been
the biggest difference from this year to last year.”
Riley Roy and his team-roping partner from Moose Jaw,
Sask., are coming off their first trip to the Canadian Finals
Rodeo (CFR) last fall and will be riding Aug. 6 in the team
roping event.
Tate Hartell returns to the Stampede and will be the
first local athlete to ride at Strathmore. He is in the first
group in the bareback event on Aug. 3. He will be trying
to stay on a horse named Saturn Rocket for the manda-
tory eight seconds.
The bareback event also features two-time defending
Calgary Stampede champion Richmond Champion. He
currently sits third in the CPRA with 315 points and is
scheduled to ride Aug. 6.
Airdrie’s Jake Vold rides on the same day as Champion
and sits in second in the CPRA with 385 points.
In tie-down roping, Dawson Johnson is scheduled to
compete on the second day in an all-Alberta draw on
Aug. 4

Mosquito Reds falter at home but enjoy final game

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore mosquito Reds ran
into some tough luck last weekend at
provincials.
Hosting the tier 5 tournament, the
Reds couldn’t capitalize on the home
field advantage and finished 0-3 at the
agricultural society softball diamonds.
“They were all very close games, we
just got started too late. Our defence
wasn’t sharp early and our bats weren’t
awake. Once we started hitting, we
were right with every team,” said Reds
Head Coach Jeff Stender.
The Reds nearly pulled off an epic
comeback July 27 against the Fort
Saskatchewan Red Sox in the tourney
opener.
The Red Sox led 10-2 in the final in-
ning when the Reds racked up six runs
with one out.
Mason Byma powered the Reds with
three RBIs on a 1-for-3 outing, while
Lucas Rees went 2 for 3 with a run
scored and an RBI.
Carter Neufeld came on in relief for
starter Xander Emlyn in the second
inning. Neufeld went 2.2 innings, al-
lowed four runs, but none of them
were earned.
The Reds lost an even tighter affair in
their round robin finale July 28 against
the Morinville Miners.
“We are extremely proud of the resil-
iency and determination they showed
when they were down to not give up,”
said Stender.
Down 12-8 heading into the final in-
ning, the Reds pushed four runs across
in the top half when Byma scored on
an error by the catcher, Kieran Neale
scored on a single by Braylon Becker,
Nixon Rapuano scored Becker on a
sacrifice bunt and Sam Michta drove
Neufeld in a single up the middle.
Unfortunately, in the bottom half of
the sixth, Owen Robinson surrendered
the game-winning run with two outs.
The loss sent the Reds into the con-
solation side of the bracket, where they
met the Lacombe Dodgers.
With it being the final game of the
year, Stender turned his lineup card
over to the kids and let them fill it out.
The Reds lost the high-scoring affair
20-10 July 29 to end their season.
Michta and Byma each went 2 for
3 at the dish with one RBI and one
run scored. Neale and Robinson each
picked up one hit and scored a pair of
runs.
“It was a different perspective for
them to fill out the lineup. They did a
great job in putting each guy in a posi-
tion they hadn’t played before this year
for a fun way to wrap up the season,”
said Stender. “The tournament might
not have gone our way, but the kids
ended it the way they wanted too.”

Chance Flad makes driving debut at Strathmore Stampede

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
After 11 years of outriding, Chance Flad is getting a shot
at making his dreams come true this weekend at the Strath-
more Stampede and Heritage Days chuckwagon races.
With the retirement of Rick Fraser, a two-time Strathmore
Stampede champion, a door opened for a new chuckwagon
team.
That’s when Flad jumped at the opportunity.
“I’ve been outriding for a while now and I think it’s time
to change things up and go for a new challenge,” said Flad.
Flad’s bloodlines in the sport are as thick as the reins on
his horse, as he is related to the late
Herman Flad and current drivers Troy
and Darcy Flad.
Flad has also spent more than half his
life around the sport of chuckwagon
racing. When he was 11 years old, he
was introduced to the sport when he
met Doug Irvine.
After working with Irvine for a few
years, Flad raced in his first Calgary
Stampede at 15 and turned pro the fol-
lowing season.
Since then, he has been travelling
with Irvine and riding in as many as

nine heats a day for whoever needed
an outrider.
& He quickly shot up the World Pro-
fessional Chuckwagon Association
standings and was the second best
outrider for the 2011-12 season. A few
years later, Flad kicked off a three-year

Going from one horse to four horses
is going to be one of the many chal-
lenges facing Flad this weekend in
Strathmore.
He needs to figure out which horses
are better in the front and which are
stronger in the back. He needs to figure
out which ones can handle the long bar-
rel and which ones are quick enough to
make tight turns on the inside.
The choices are many, as he will still
show up with Irvine, as they continue
ing forward to driving in the event closest to his home.
“I’ve ridden in the Strathmore Stampede 11 times and it
always has great fans so it’s fun,” said Flad.
Fans can keep an eye out for Flad, as he will be racing with
the yellow and black canvas sponsored by Aspen Crossing
Railway.
With only three races remaining, by rule, Flad will start
one point behind the rider currently in last, which happens
to be Josh Hrynyk at 129.
It goes without saying, but a win at Strathmore would be
an incredible feeling and a welcome early birthday gift as
Flad turns 27 later in the month.

four-day event.

“I don’t have any expectations for this weekend or have
any idea what this means for me next year. I’m just going
to go out and try and ride penalty-free all weekend, then go
from there,” said Flad.
