compost piles to reduce the smell.
For months, residents dealt with a strong
odour that quickly earned the name “Wheezy

In turn, Waste Management acquired addition-

diverted feedstock that was thought to have
caused a concern for their processing abilities.
Nearly 90 per cent of the feedstock has been
removed and efforts to reduce further material
will take place over the next three to six weeks.
“We actually made two decisions; first was to
redirect about one specific feedstock, or one
specific material; and the second decision which
was to divert practically all of the inbound tons

ADELLE ELLIS Nov 30 - Dec 6, 2018

Times Reporter
The Strathmore High School (SHS)
cardboard boat race team made a big
splash at the Skills Canada Alberta
Southern Cardboard Boat Race at the
Southern Alberta Institute of Technol-
ogy (SAIT) on Nov. 21.
Unfortunately, the team’s enthusi-
asm as they hopped into the vessel
caused the cardboard boat to buckle
and rapidly sink. But they did walk
away from the skills competition with
the Float your Boat award for the best
design.
“We didn’t win the race but we actu-
ally got the award for the best design
… so that was amazing even though
we didn’t win the race,” said Ed Eb-
erts, cardboard boat mentor and tech-
nology teacher at SHS.
In SHS’s first year in the competi-
tion it garnered the interest of four
students, just enough for one team.
Josh Kennedy, Cody Holdaway, Mason
Burns and Meadow Tribe met every
week in October and November to re-
search boats, and design and buoyan-
cy, before constructing three practice
boats that never got the chance to see
the water.
Participants were given an hour-
and-a-half to construct a boat out of
four pieces of four foot by four foot

first year the school has entered a team into the skills competition based on design and engineering.

cardboard, one roll of packing tape,
one roll of duct tape and a cutting
tool. Teams could also supply their
own measuring instruments and pen-
cils to aid in the building process.
Where most other boats were de-
scribed as “cardboard coffins,” a nor-
mal box with a pointy end, SHS’s boat
was made to resemble origami, com-
pletely folded with no cuts. The design
should have given the team an edge as
the boat theoretically should have had
less weak points.
“Unfortunately, during the race the
teenage brain kicked in and they
rushed a little bit; the boat buckled

SHOOTING IN CHESTERMERE
CPL. CHRIS WARREN
Media Relations Group
On Nov. 26 at approximately 10:30
a.m., RCMP responded to an incident
that occurred at a residence in the area
of West Lakeview Drive and West Creek
Mews. Investigation revealed that an
altercation took place inside the resi-
dence where a gun was fired. One adult
male was taken to hospital with serious
injuries and later succumbed to those
injuries.
Local schools were briefly locked
down as a precautionary concern for
the safety of staff and students. Once
the area was contained and deemed
safe, schools resumed normal daily ac-
tivities.
This was not a random incident and
the investigation is still ongoing. The in-
vestigation is being aided by the efforts
of the Southern Alberta Major Crimes
Unit, Forensic Identification Services,
Strathmore RCMP, and Police Dog Ser-
vices.
Police are asking if you have informa-
tion about this incident to please call
Chestermere RCMP at 403-420-4855 or
call your local police.

YOUR WEEKLY
HEALTH ADVICE
Gord Morck
Pharmacist
Capsule Comments
When pharmacists dispense an antibiotic, a
common question asked is “Is it OK to have a
drink with this”? A few antibiotics should not be
taken with alcohol but for most of them, a drink
of alcohol will not make them work less well.
Pharmacists will tell you if alcohol is OK with
any of your medications. Be sure to ask anyway.
The idea of a “poly-pill” containing three or
more drugs in one pill keeps arising in the medical
literature every few years. The latest is the “triple
pill” containing three drugs for the heart and
blood pressure. The amounts of each drug in this
pill are less that they would be if taken separately.
This seems to reduce side effects and of course the
main benefit is it’s only one pill to take not three.
It’s not too late to get your flu shot for this season.
Some people don’t get their flu shot because they
say it’s only “partially effective”. That may be
true but some protection is better than none at
all. Cost is minimal, side effects rare and they are
available everywhere.
A bit of pharmaceutical history: The word
“drug” originates from the French word drogue
which means dry herb. Historically, most drugs
natural. Even today, 30-40% of the drugs we use
originate from plant sources. People often feel that
if it’s natural, it’s safe and free from harm. Not
always so. Tobacco….Nightshade…Oleander…

Rabies case confirmed in domestic pet in Alberta

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
A nine-year-old domestic indoor-out-
door cat on a farm near Longview, Alta.
tested positive for rabies on Nov. 13.
Prior to testing, the cat displayed
extreme aggression before biting
the owner and the owner’s son, who
sought medical attention and had the
cat tested for the rabies virus.
Since the incident, all other animals
on the farm, including four other cats
and two dogs, have been quarantined
for a three-month period for observa-
tion, and a post-exposure rabies vacci-
nation was given to the animals in case
of virus cross-transmission.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agen-
cy completed variant typing that is
most consistent with the bat variant of
the virus. The cat is thought to have
hunted and caught a rabies-positive bat
before contracting the virus itself.
“The virus attacks the nervous sys-
tem, travelling up peripheral nerves to
the spinal cord and brain. The result
is permanent disruption or derange-
ment in how the brain operates, which
often manifests as sudden behavioural
changes or unexplained progressive
paralysis,” said Becky Bezugley, a vet-
erinarian with the Animal Care Centre
of Strathmore. “As a result, rabies can
be a fatal disease in both humans and
animals.”
In Alberta, the majority of rabies
cases are found in bats. In 2016, seven
cases of rabies-positive bats were con-
firmed; in 2017 the number was at 10
and so far in 2018, nine bats have been
confirmed with the virus.
The Office of Alberta’s Chief Provin-
cial Veterinarian confirmed to local vet-
erinarian Karen Sevick on Nov. 21 that
although it seems in recent years there
are increased incidents of rabies, that it
not the case. Rather, the number of bat
submissions, including submissions for
rabies-positive bats, has increased.
“There’s an increased incident in
submitting the bats in Alberta, which is
great because people are more aware
that yes, we can see rabies in bats, but
the numbers have been pretty consis-
tent,” said Sevick. “People are more
vigilant about getting the bats and
turning them in.”
Local veterinarians say the best way
to protect yourselves and pets from the
rabies virus is keeping up to date with
rabies vaccines. Vaccination options
include either a one-year or three-
year longevity vaccination. For people
working in animal-related industries,
it is suggested to also stay up to date
on a human rabies vaccine. Veterinar-
ians also suggest being vigilant about
turning in found dead bats for testing,
and for monitoring your animals for
changing and aggressive behaviours if
they do not have current rabies vacci-
nations.
“It’s such an easy disease to prevent,”
said Sevick. “To me, it’s extremely im-
portant to prevent the disease rather
than deal with post-exposure.”
Local veterinarians also cautioned
those who find dead bats not to touch
them with their bare skin. If you find a
dead bat, use gloves to pick it up and
put it in either a sealable Ziploc bag or
into a closed container, avoiding physi-
cal contact with the bat. Contact your
local veterinarian so they can handle
getting it to the government for test-
ing. There is no charge for submitting
a dead bat for rabies testing. Alter-
natively, if you need to remove a live
bat from your home, use thick leather
gloves and a cardboard box to trap the
bat and make sure never to come in
contact with it with your bare skin.
“Rabies has been present in Alberta
for many years; we simply become
re-aware of the disease when a new
case is reported,” said Bezugley. “The
people of Strathmore should always be
diligent about protecting themselves
and their pets against rabies.”

The Wheatland Kings earned a 6-5 overtime home win over Mountainview on Nov. 24 at the Strathmore Family Centre. After a

day (2 p.m.) at the Family Centre.
Kings win spirited contest
in overtime
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
The Wheatland Kings won a thrilling 6-5 overtime
game against the Mountainview Colts at home on
Nov. 24.
The hard-hitting game saw heroes on both sides
of the ice. But it was the Kings who prevailed with
a power play marker in the extra frame from Kings
forward Isaac Benoit, who scored his team-leading
15th goal of the season.
“It was a good game, I thought our team played
well,” said Benoit. “We had good chemistry today
and did what we had to get the W.”
The Kings got off to a good start with two goals
in less than two minutes starting at the eight min-
ute mark of the first period. Kings forward Kyle
Bracko skated through the circle and made a nice
move to get past the Colts defenseman and made
a quick deke to backhand it top corner. Kings for-
ward Zachary Meadows then hunted down a loose
puck in enemy territory to find Parker Keer for his
first goal as a King.
But the Colts weren’t going to go down easily and
made the most of their opportunities. Two break-
aways in the final three minutes of the first led to a
tie game. The Kings responded quickly in the sec-
ond period with goals from two of their big guns
in Garret Vander Ploeg and Lucas Muenchrath to
make it 4-2 Kings.
The Colts didn’t wait long to counter the Kings
and fired one past Kings goalie Brett Willan 20 sec-
onds later. They added a power play goal with five
minutes remaining in the second and it looked like
the game would remain tied heading into the third,
but the Kings weren’t satisfied with that. Muench-
rath found Benoit in close for a one-timer that re-
took the Kings lead.
In the third period, the Kings played a more de-
fensive focused style and tried to limit the Colts
chances in what became a battle of attrition. How-

ever, it took only one mistake to turn the tide on a
Kings powerplay. Colts forward Zane Leatherdale
stripped a Kings defender of the puck while fore-
checking hard and proceeded to loop around the
net and into the slot to sneak a shot past Willan to
tie the game up with less than six minutes to go.
The Colts had a golden chance a few plays later
when a costly giveaway saw the Colts wire a shot
from the slot, but Willan made a huge pad save to
keep the game tied and send it to overtime.
“Brett’s been nothing but a great success for us,”
said Kings head coach Joel Robinson. “The score
doesn’t reflect how well Brett’s played.”
The Kings had a power play heading into the
extra period and they made the most of it. Benoit
made an unorthodox hard backhand slap through
his legs on a scramble in front that snuck past Colts
goalie Ethan Woodward.
“We had an up and down game, we battled back
being down quite a few times but didn’t quite get
the bounces we were looking for,” said Colts head
coach Rob Turville. “I thought both goalies played
unbelievable. There was a lot of scoring chances at
both ends and in a 6-5 game you might think the
goalies had tough ones.”
The game had a nasty edge as was evident when
a heavy crosscheck chipped Benoit’s tooth on the
game-winning goal. The physicality ramped as the
game progressed and remained close but saw a
lot more slashes, hooks and board-rattling body
checks.
The Kings played the Ponoka Stampeders the
next night in Ponoka and lost 2-1 despite outshoot-
ing their opponent 45-22. After the weekend the
Kings remain in third place with a 11-8-1 record.
Up next for the Kings will be a grueling three-
game weekend starting on the road against the
Airdrie Techmation Thunder on Nov. 30 before two
home games and a chance at redemption versus
the Stampeders on Dec. 1 and the dreaded Coaldale
Copperheads on Dec. 2.

Braves snap winless streak
with back to back victories
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
The peewee AA Wheatland Braves ended a five-game
winless streak that stretched back to Oct. 19 with two
big wins last weekend. They beat the Foothills Bisons at
home 5-3 on Nov. 23 and then crushed the Okotoks Oil-
ers Green 7-1 in Okotoks on Nov. 24.
In the Bisons game, the Braves scored in the first two
minutes of both the first and second period and had a
commanding 4-1 lead. They were peppering the opposi-
tion with shots and led 21-10 in that category. Early in
the third, however, the Bisons scored a power play and a
shorthanded goal to cut the deficit to single goal.
The Braves gained some breathing room late in the
third with a low sizzling point shot from Braves defender
Nathan Maloney, which was initially stopped by Bisons
goaltender Cash Barton. But the rebound landed on the
hungry stick of Braves forward Nash Wassing who ham-
mered it in for his second of the game.
“In the first five minutes (first and second period) we
dominated and then the effort went south,” said Braves
assistant coach Slavo Halkovic. “We have to try to estab-
lish a 60 minutes effort every game.”
The Braves responded to their coach’s demand for a
stronger effort the next day against the Oilers. Wassing
led the way with three points with Dylan Serginson scor-
ing two goals and Jordan Hendricks, Luc Trevors and
Conner Radke all finding the back of the net once for the
Braves. Connor White made 25 saves in the victory.
The club now owns a 8-4-2 record and sits in fourth
place in the south conference. They will get a chance to
tie the second-place Taber Golden Suns on Nov. 30 in
Hussar.
CHIEFS SPLIT ROAD TRIP
The midget AA Wheatland Chiefs won a hard fought
back and forth game 4-3 against the Taber Golden Suns
on Nov. 24. The teams traded goals until the third period
when the Chiefs gained the upper hand with under 10
minutes remaining. Chiefs forward Tyren Grimsdale pot-
ted the game winner from Nolan Bailey.

Holiday Train Comes to Gleichen
For the very first time, the CP Holiday Train will be making a stop in
Gleichen on Friday, December 7th from 9:55 p.m. to 10:30
p.m..
This is a great opportunity to donate to the food bank, get out into
the community and also to see some great performances by Terri
Clark, Kelly Prescott, and Sierra Noble.
The CP Holiday Train is unlike your typical freight train. This train’s
consist has rail cars decorated with thousands of lights, and in-
cludes a boxcar converted into a performance stage.
Once the train comes to a safe stop, the
stage lowers and a free performance from
some incredibly talented musicians delights
spectators for about 30 minutes. While these
events are free, we encourage those coming
to watch to bring a cash or healthy food do-
nation in support of the local Food Bank.
Local community events start at 7 p.m..
Wheatland County Flood Assistance
If you live in Wheatland County, and your home, business or property
was damaged by overland flooding in spring 2018, you may be eligible
to receive Disaster Recovery Program funding from the Government of
Alberta. The Disaster Recovery Program provides funding for uninsurable
property damage, loss and other expenses incurred as the result of a
natural disaster.
You can submit your application online by going to
aema.alberta.ca/disaster-recovery-programs.
Deadline to apply is January 2, 2019.
