Christmas is usually a time of exhaustingshopping, struggling to wrap presents ontime, and seeing the joy on your childrensfaces as they open their gifts.

For one mother, Christmas came witha wish for her son. Five-year-old Owen, a

Westmount Elementary School student, wasdiagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma just a fewshort weeks ago. On Dec. 12 staff at West-mount School had found out about Owenand decided they would put the word out tothe parents and do what they could to helpOwen and his mom Charissa.

Here in Strathmore weve done thisthrough the schools, I know our head ofcehas also done a fundraising push, not withany expectation except to say to Mom, dont

worry about the bills for the next little while. Thats our goal, said Westmount PrincipalWayne Funk.

According to Funk, Owen had alreadyundergone seven or eight days of radiationtherapy and had started three weeks of che-motherapy as of Dec. 22. Though it has beenpreviously reported that Owens condition isterminal, Funk said there has been no suchdiagnosis given to the family.

When Grandma came to the school tograb some homework and his shoes andstuff we asked her that question, and shesaid absolutely not, theyve not been giventhat diagnosis, said Funk.

Support has been pouring in for Owenand his mom, with Westmount alone raising$13,842 as of Dec. 22, only eight days after

the school asked for support from the com-munity.

Its been really humbling for us at theschool level to see the support that there isfor a little guy and his mom who are in atough spot, said Funk.

My fear for the family was that, right nowat Christmas time everybodys really diggingin, but what if this is a six, eight, ten month

battle or three year battle. Whos going to belooking after this family at that stage?

So thats kind of our goal is to look a littlemore long term after this. So well see whatsneeded and well absolutely be involved.

Updates on how Owen and his family isdoing can be found on the Facebook page,Owens Angels.

Thousands of people lined the streetsfor the 123rd annual Rose Parade, com-monly referred to as the Rose Bowl Pa-rade, in Pasadena, California. The eventis aired internationally and, accordingto statistics, approximately 700,000

people line the ve and a half mile pa-rade route.

One Strathmore resident has nowhad the opportunity to participate inthe parade twice. Jamee DeWit rode with the Calgary

Stampede Showriders youth musicalteam for four years, and in 2003 theywere invited to ride in the Rose Parade.Three years ago DeWit successfully ap-plied for the directors coach positionwith the Showriders.

I was a rider with them at that time.This is my second time getting to go,now I get to take my team, said DeWit.

It is very exciting because it is a to-tally different opportunity now becauseI was a rider before, so you know yougo as a rider. Now Im the coach and itsall the behind the scenes work for thistour and taking your team down thereand organizing that. Its a totally differ-ent outlook, but very exciting.

Both the Calgary Stampede Showrid-ers and the Show band went to partici-pate in the parade.The parade usually takes place New

Years Day. Due to a policy that dictatesthe celebrations and games will nevertake place on a Sunday, everything hap-pened on Monday, Jan. 2.The theme this year was Just Imag-

ine and featured 44 petal coveredoats, and 16 bands from the UnitedStates and other countries and morethan 300 horses and riders.

Everybody is just thrilled with theopportunity to be able to be part ofsuch a huge, huge thing. Its quite an

honour to be invited, said DeWit.The girls had a busy but exciting few

days while they were in California. OnNew Years Eve they were in Disney-land, and they also had a chance totake in a Cirque du Soleil performancein Hollywood at the Kodak Theatre.The Calgary Stampede will be cele-

brating its centennial this year and be-ing invited was just the start of manycelebrations they will participate in thisyear.

The week of Dec. 12 Gold Key nsurance Ltd heldtheir 20th anniversary open house, but they alsoheld a silent auction fundraiser for the StrathoreRegional Victi Service Society. Through thefundraiser they were able to donate a cheque for$1,027 and a fuzzy blanket to help keep soe-one war. $1,000 goes a long way for us,said Tay Cooper, Assistant Coordinator withVicti Services.

This is a tricky question to

answer. First and foremost, if

you have photo radar tickets,

these do not affect your

insurance rates.

If you went to court and

fought your ticket, doesntmatter. I often hear, well I

went to Points and they took

care of it.. This is a common

misconception. Even if

you didnt pay the ne, the

ticket shows on your driving

Rather than having a big Christ-mas party and dinner for the staff atHome Hardware, there was a smallin-house celebration.

The extra money which would nor-mally have been used towards theparty, was instead donated to Grow-ing Opportunities. Perry Banadygaand his wife Cindy own the Strath-more Home Hardware, and Cindy isa member of the Growing Opportu-nities board.

For the ladies night we give to thefood bank and this was just becauseof my wifes involvement and seeingthe need there. We thought its a littleless known charity that we thought

we would like to give to that andhelp them out, they are in desperateneed of cash, said Perry.

Lisa Sader, who accepted thecheque for $400 on behalf of Grow-ing Opportunities, said the money

was to be used for purchasing thingsfor Christmas for the families.

On Jan. 14 Gleichen will be celebrating the completionof the hall renovations. Its taken four years of fundraisingand grant applications for this day to nally come.

Were hoping that we can have 125 people come. Weve

invited quite a few guests from the organizations that havehelped us collect enough money to get the grants we need-ed, said Doris Lindman, with the Gleichen and DistrictCommunity Association.

Calgary country singer Lori Kole, who recently releasedher third single Caught up in you, will be performing, and

will be bringing along a band that is sure to get peopledancing.

We knew that we would have this done by January 14and we knew this I think at the beginning of November.

We picked this particular date because of the entertainerLori Kole, she is booked up months in advance and literallyshe opened up one date for us, said Lindman.

MLA Arno Doerkson will also be attending the event, which will have a roast beef dinner, followed by a fewspeeches and then dancing.

Lindman said contractor Nick Holt, who is also a member

of the community, was fantastic at keeping things withinbudget, while pitching new ideas.Hes had some better ideas than we had initially, for

the same price or less, he has made the place better, saidLindman.

There were a number of things inside the building thatwere in a state of disrepair, and Lindman said the buildinghad to practically be gutted and redone.

It was tted with modern cupboards, a commercial stove,and sinks in the kitchen. All of the gas lines, electrical andplumbing work, had to be re-done in the kitchen. A largepantry was added to the kitchen and a cooler was updated

which means the kitchen now has commercial status.A storage room was also placed at the back of the hall

to hold decorations for the various celebration events heldduring the year.The bathroom sinks, stalls and toilets were removed and

replaced, and new ooring has been laid throughout thebuilding.

A grant from the Community Facility Enhancement Pro-gram helped the association bring in some of the moneyfaster than they may have otherwise.

We, through the other grants, had raised half of themoney and then we applied to CFEP and its a matchinggrant, we got the other half. It was through all of thosegrants that we were able to x the kitchen, and the bath-room and all of the things that I mentioned, said Lindman. Tickets for the gala are $20 per person and the doors

open at 5:30 p.m. There will be a silent auction, and proceeds from the

auction, and further fundraising events, will go towardsmany more needed renovations for the hall. If any com-munity member would be willing to help in any way at the

Associations functions, please phone 403-734-0114.

Gleichen prepares to celebrate

ate these extras, said Sader.Growing Opportunities is pro-

grams which focus on helping preg-nant woman who may need help, or

just have questions. There are differ-ent types of support services offeredfor both during the pregnancy andafter delivery.

PROGRAmPeople may think that

winter time sends our

Town Parks Departmentinto hibernation but you

may be surprised to know

this is not the case! While

our stafng is drastically

reduced from the summer

we stay busy with a number

of maintenance programs.

Following a snowfall we are

out clearing the snow from

all town owned sidewalks

and pathways. Combined,

these walkways amount

to over 20kms! The Parks

Department uses skid steerloaders with various attach-

ment to complete the job.

The pathways are cleared

in a priority sequence with

the main regional pathways

at the top of the list. In ad-

dition to ensuring our walk-

ways are clear and safe for

travel the Parks Department

also conducts regular gar-

bage pick-up and disposal

around all of our public

spaces. When the weather

allows the Parks Depart-ment will also clear the

snow from Kinsmen Lake

to offer pond skating to the

community. There are other

storm ponds in town that

residents will keep clear

for skating. While we want

everyone to enjoy them-

areas, it is important to note

that citizens do so at their

Alberta government turns bridges over to CountySharon McLeay

Times Contributor

Alberta Transportation delivered a letter to WheatlandCounty on Dec. 7, 2011, stating that bridges on urban roadapproaches, previously maintained by the province, would

be turned over to county public works or maintenance.There was some question in the past about who really

owns it and now the letter comes that they are turning it over

to us, said Reeve Glen Koester.Chie Administrative Ofcer Jennier Deak said in the past

the province made sure there was a road allowance into therural hamlets rom any major highway. Research by countysta hasnt turned up any written records indicating wheth-er the land and bridges were county owned, or provinciallyowned.

Gerry Van Oostwaard, Public Works Superintendent, saidthe department has always maintained the minor bridges.

The major bridges were always done by Alberta Transpor-tation, said Van Oostwaard.

Koester wondered i a land titles search would veriy own-ership, and indicated the county would not like to add an-other fve kilometres o pavement to each hamlet.

Council members asked or more inormation to be gath-ered, and or a letter to be drated and sent to Alberta Trans-portation, the MLA and Minister o Transportation, asking

why the turnover occurred, and to clariy ownership.Council members and administrative sta would presenttheir concerns at their next meeting with Alberta Transporta-tion.

A question of phosphorousCounty council was asked to support the Bow River Phos-

phorus Management Plan and appoint two representatives tothe committee. The committee is made up o representativesrom dierent municipalities, environmental groups, indus-tries, and Alberta Environment & Water.

It is the frst o its kind in the province and it is in its initialstages. It will eventually tie into the Southern Saskatchewanregional plan, said Sarah Schumacher, Agricultural Conser-

vation and Communications Coordinator or the county, whoattended preliminary meetings.The target o the group is to measure the amounts o phos-

phorus in wastewater, storm water and rom agricultural in-put in the Eastern area, to look at the problems this gener-

ates and fnd ways to reduce the amounts o phosphorusgoing into the system. The Eastern area designation is landand water rom Calgary to Bassano. The committee wants todetermine how much is going into the system through directaccess and how much rom indeterminate locations. There isan estimate that the distribution would be 50-50. The com-mittee wants to reduce the duplication involved in variousagencies researching a similar topic. Alberta Environment isproviding the unding.

Why is the region west o Calgary not included?, saidCouncillor Ken Sauve.The concern by council was that armers maybe unairly

targeted. They also considered an areas population load tobe a actor.

Reeve Glen Koester elt that the results o this study mightsupplement the Municipal Development Plan and other wa-ter studies being done. Council asked that the terms o reer-ence or the committee be provided to the council beore a

vote or support was granted.Boundary dispute at crossroads

The development plan or 464 new residents in LakewoodMeadows west o Hillview has county council concerned. The intersection planned or Hwy 817 and the North

Boundary road partially aects Wheatland County land andwill also aect surrounding residents.

They are planning major improvements to the intersectionand we havent had anything to do with that, said Koester.

Councillor Alice Booth pointed out that the subsequentphases in the development channel trafc ow up throughthat intersection and emergency access is on the county road.

I it all goes west and down our roads, there will be a bigimpact in that area, said Councillor Ken Sauve.

Councillor Brenda Knight said the road plan has a utureexpansion rom two trafc lanes to our and would need toinclude trafc lights. Jennier Deak, CAO, noted there had

not been a trafc assessment plan done, and said a projectthat big should have had an assessment done.

Council asked a letter be sent by the Jan. 6, 2012 deadline,to address their concerns. Sta and council members willalso be attending the Jan. 18 public hearing to question howthose concerns will be addressed.Silent day and night for Public Works

Pleasant weather is giving the public works maintenancecrews a break.

Its been quiet over Christmas, very dierent rom lastyear, said Gerry Van Oostwaard, Public Works Superinten-dent.

Gravel crews have been doing general maintenance on

their vehicles and stockpiling gravel at the Carbon and Gran-stock sites. Warm weather melts and reeze has sent sandingcrews to the waste transer sites and various hamlets to deal

with slippery conditions. Van Oostwaard said he has beenworking on tender preparation or trucks and light vehicleswhich will be posted in local papers soon. Heavy machinerytenders have been concluded.

He also indicated to council that calls to TELUS had beenrepeatedly made concerning the timely installation o lines in

the county; however, TELUS had not returned Public Workscalls.

Appeal board member appointmentsCouncil moved that Division 6 and 7 incumbents Gerald

Geeraerd and Ken Williams be reinstated to the Subdivisionand Development Appeal Board. In Division 3, George Sza-kaly is appointed. Incumbents to the board serve a two-yearterm, on a staggered schedule. Vacancies are advertised, andapplicants are appointed and reinstated at councils discre-tion.Countys emergency storm assistance not reimbursed

Councillors want clarifcation as to why their assistance inremoving snow during the State o Emergency declared byStrathmore in the winter o 2011 was not reimbursed by theprovince.All other services were rebated but the cost o the equip-

ment and operator was not covered.

The countys Disaster Services Coordinator, Gerald Skibin-sky, was asked to get an answer and report to council.Big or small membership fees remain the same

The 2012 requisition or membership in the Canadian Bad-lands Association arrived on Dec. 15.The ee is 50 cents per capita, with a cap at $25,000. 63

municipalities belong to the association, including MedicineHat and Lethbridge.

Larger communities get more beneft than smaller ones,said Councillor Ben Armstrong.

I the bigger centres pay their whole share, the per capitacosts would drop or smaller centres.

Councillor Alice Booth said the cap was introduced as away to get everyone on board, and is to be re-evaluated a-ter a three-year term. Booth serves on the board. She saidshe would bring the councils concerns to the association orconsideration.Sagewood complex Impressive

Councillors who visited the Sagewood complex on Dec. 20were impressed by what they saw.

It is a real addition to the community at large. It givesme great pleasure to see this and its projects like this thatmake me eel that this job is worthwhile, said CouncillorKen Sauve.All but one suite in the seniors community is sold and

there are plans or another $7.6 million addition.Planning ahead

The New Year has just begun and County councillors areadjusting their schedules to meet their 2012 obligations.

When holidays, committee work, or necessary unctions ellon regular council days, alternate days were scheduled orcouncil and MPC meetings. These schedule changes will beposted in local papers prior to their occurrence.

Finding comfort in their last days is somethingthe Strathmore Palliative Care Unit strives to provide to its patients. Having a friendly face tospeak with, or enjoy a meal with, can go a longway for the residents in palliative care. The needfor volunteers who are willing to be that personis always there.

Because people keep dying, really thats whatit comes down to. Its an ongoing need in ourcommunity and its never going to stop, said Pas-tor Dawn.

When you have people trained it stops burn-out, and it gives us a diversity of people we can

call on.In the New Year - the date is yet to be deter-

mined - there will be training offered to anyoneinterested in helping with palliative care.

Its going to be open to anybody that is a vol-unteer with Strathmore and District Health Ser-vices or Chestermere, said Bev Edwards, volun-teer coordinator with the Strathmore PalliativeCare Unit.

The training that were offering will be for thepalliative care volunteers, so if somebody is inter-ested they would call me and they would have togo through a process to become a volunteer and

then theyd have the training.The process to becoming a volunteer with the

Strathmore and Chestermere District Health Ser-vices begins with lling out an application. Thenthere is an interview, a police record check, whichEdwards said is free. Potential volunteers will alsohave to complete an occupational health and safe-ty form, and then theres an orientation. Once theprocess is completed, anyone who is interested involunteering with palliative care will be able totake the training.The training will be ongoing over a period of

time, not in one weekend, and there will be nocost associated with it.

Its available for the new volunteers, as well ofcourse, for the new ones, said Edwards.

It takes a period of time to get the paperworkand process a new volunteer, so if people are in-terested its great for them to contact me so that Iknow theyre interested.The Palliative Care Unit offers support to termi-

nally ill patients and their families. The volunteershelp the patients through a number of issues in-cluding grief counseling, education regarding thedisease progression and trying to help the patientsbe as comfortable as possible in their nal days.

Anyone interested in volunteering, or ndingour more, can contact Bev Edwards at 403-361-7154.

Fule for Thought

I think there are ways for all cultures to come to-gether and put aside their differences. There must becertain things we all hold in common, things that wecan all agree on.The one thing that comes to mind for me, unites all

males everywhere.That, my friends is the dreaded groin shot that all

males at one time or another have had. Im sure thateven in the deepest jungles of South America, therehas been a male member of a forgotten tribe, whostaken a stray blow gun dart below the belt.

Im also sure that these little tribesmen probablyfall over each other laughing, BEFORE he eventuallypulls out the dart!

Ive seen labour and although I have never experi-enced its pain, I think all men would agree that a wellplaced hit to us may actually be a lot like the pain ofchildbirth.

Sure, our pain doesnt necessarily last as long, butmeasuring a groin hit, scores very high on the RichterScale of pain. Allow me to illustrate.

Many years ago, I took one of my PE classes tothe golf course. It started out as a beautiful day, with

great promise. Little did I know that particular day,we were working on hitting the full swing with irons.

The class was in a long line, with piles of golf balls.I was patrolling behind the line, offering encourage-ment and what few tips I had. One girl was having avery difcult time making contact with the ball: eachswing would totally miss, and she was getting veryfrustrated. I should have realized that behind her, Iwas in the kill zone.

She nally got very angry, and began to swing her

club forward and back, yelling, I cant hit this stupidball!

On the word ball (how appropriate!), she hit itbeautifully hard a screamer of a hit back-ward!

It hit me below the belt so hard, that it droppedme like a sack of potatoes. Id never felt pain like thatbefore I wanted to cry I may actually have. Thepain was tremendous I ached and lay crumpledlike a rag doll, as my class encircled me.

Not one bothered to ask if I was okay someraised their voices like tenors to mimic me. Theyeven put the accident on the afternoon announce-ments to ask Mr. Fule, how he got his high voice!Anyway, Ive learned to stand more carefully, side-

ways but I still have a nervous tic!

United in Pain!

Its ofcially 2012, and many people have taken thetime to reect on 2011, including MP Kevin Sorenson.

I think 2011 was a remarkable year for Canada, Itend to look at our country both domestically, bothfrom home and from abroad. Some of the challengeswe faced were certainly challenges that werent of ourmaking, said Sorenson.

Our challenges were economic and those globaleconomic challenges came mainly from the United

States and Europe. In spite of that Canada is rankedas the number one country in the G7 as far as creatingjobs and so our economy relative to other economiesremains fairly strong.

Sorenson said there have been almost 600,000 new jobs created since 2008 when the recession began. The economy was the major challenge and he saidthey know going into 2012 its going to continue tobe a challenge.

Our government is committed to positioning Can-ada well, as far as a strong economy, continuing tobring down our decit. Those are going to take sometough measures and some difcult measures perhapsin this next budget and thats what were working onnow, said Sorenson.While the economy was a constant concern, there

were a number of accomplishments made throughoutthe year.

In the last year weve had some great accomplish-ments. We had an election in 2011 and Canadianshave rewarded our conservative government of Cana-da with a majority government, said Sorenson.

That was, politically, a huge accomplishment and

again I was very grateful to the people of Crowfootin 2011 for speaking so clearly and giving us a strongmandate.

He said many promises made over the last few elec-tions have nally come to fruition such as giving moremarketing freedom to farmers. Sorenson said therewas a legislation brought forward that would keep aCanadian Wheat Board but would eliminate the mo-nopoly where every farmer had to sell their wheat tothe Canadian Wheat board.There have also been tougher measures brought

forward to ght crime and there has been a new leg-

islation brought forward that will see more aggres-sive tactics when it comes to ghting terrorism inCanada.

Sorenson is hoping to see the long gun registry be-come a piece of history by the end of February orearly March.

On behalf of our government and our Prime Min-ister Im wishing everyone a very healthy and happyNew Year, said Sorenson.

Like every year theres going to be challenges forour country, and also individually, and we dont knowwhat this New Year holds but we know as a govern-ment were going to have to keep working hard to po-sition Canada in a good stead and we certainly wishhealth and happiness to everyone in the new year.

First up for Sorenson in 2012 is a trip to Japan.He said the Harper government is currently workingon a free trade agreement with Japan and Sorenson

himself will be in discussion about Canada import-ing more Alberta beef into their country. He will bespending eight days meeting with the Japanese dip-lomats and discussing issues that are mutually bene-cial to both countries.

As the 34th Annual Macs Midget Hock-ey Tournament progressed, the UFA Bi-sons were in the midst of playing some oftheir best hockey of the season. They used that momentum of con-

dence to claim Pool 1 with an impres-sive 3-0-1 record becoming one of eightteams to earn a berth in the playoff round and won both sudden death games onNew Years Eve.All that winning presented the Bisons

with a chance to play for the Macs MidgetChampionship against a very tough Sev-

erstal/Locomotiv team from Russia onNew Years Day.And on that specic night, the Russian

squad was the best team on the ice, win-ning 5-0 at the Scotiabank Saddledome inCalgary.

Their transition game is something spe-cial if we could gure out a way to teachthat, I think wed be heads and shouldersabove everyone else in our league, saidBisons head coach Jeremy Friesen afterhumbling defeat. As you know, our fore-check is kind of our game and we didnthave a chance to get that established to-day. We were always chasing the puck.

They do some things that weve neverseen before and when we did makethe odd adjustment here and there, they

seemed to have an answer for it.Theyre a great team they skate well,

they move the puck even better and theyscored some big timely goals.

Both teams entered the nal playing thesame amount of games at the tournament,but the Bisons looked a little slower inthe championship game than their Rus-sian counterpart.

However, when it was all said and done,the Bisons played 12 games in a span of17 days, including the tournament, regu-lar season and exhibition games.

Bisons captain Mitch McAllister wasntgoing to use that fact as an excuse.

I dont think it caught up to us maybeit did, maybe it didnt in a sense it does

take its toll. But at soon as the adrenalinehits you, it can boost you pretty good,said McAllister. Give them credit wevenever seen a team like that before andprobably never will again. They came toplay; theyre quick, theyre fast and theytransition (really well).

It was apparent from the rst game theBisons would be successful at the Macsif they played their team game. The teamcontinually rolled four lines, played welldefensively, and their goaltender WilsonSproule was phenomenal. The 17-year-old netminder was pre-

sented the Top Goaltender, was named tothe First All Star Team and picked up the

tournaments Most Valuable Player Award.Im pretty proud of that, but its just oneof those things you hang on the wall andget on with the next thing, said Sproule,deecting the spotlight. The credit goesto the defence, they helped me out a lotclearing pucks and played solid (through-out the tournament).

There were no passengers on our team.Everyone put in their shift and nobodytried to do it all on their own. Everyonewas working together.

With the tournament now over anddone with, the Bisons are focusing ongetting back to regular season action inthe AMHL. The team is currently sitting in fth

place in South Division with a 12-5-6 re-

cord, but is just ve points out of rst in ahighly competitive group.

Friesen believes the success at the Macscould spark his squad in the New Year,beginning with a two game road trip Jan.7 & 8 in Edmonton.

You want to remember the feeling (oflosing) and move on, said the coach.Its a lesson to learn. Well bounce backfor sure no question. Weve proved toourselves that we can beat the top teamsin B.C., Saskatchewan and Alberta. I likewhere were at as a hockey team. Wevematured a lot in the last 10 days or so it will make us stronger in the long run.

It was very fun to be a part of and Imvery proud of our guys.

The UFA Bisons werent the only locals hitting the ice at the 34thAnnual Macs Midget Hockey Tournament Dec. 26 Jan. 1.

Two Strathmore ofcials, Dallas Ducheminsky and Justin Geeraert,were linesmen during the prestigious midget tournament.

Both have been ofciating in the Strathmore area for a number of

years and were honoured to represent the community at the week-long event so close to home.

Its fun, it was really a good time and I had a blast, said Duchemin-sky. We used to come watch (this tournament) with my dad all thetime, so its kind of neat saying I used to watch it as a kid growing upand then come and ofciate in it.

The level of talent at this (event makes it special). When teamscome here, they step it up and it brings out the best in all of the play-ers.

Ducheminsky started ofciating when he was 13 years old andfor the past ve or so years has refereed the Alberta Midget HockeyLeague and the Alberta Junior Hockey League. This is his third timeat the Macs Tournament.According to him, he played hockey until the midget level and stuck

with ofciating because he wanted to stay involved with the sport.Now that it is in his blood, he would like to take it as far as he can.I want to go as far as I can. Im kind of getting up in age Im 30

now so theyre looking at the younger guys to move up, smiledDucheminsky. The Western Hockey League (WHL) would be fun, butIm really happy to be in the AJHL right now.The tournament was also a thrill for Geeraert, who rst started of-

ciating in his hometown of Rockyford.Its a pretty prestigious tournament to be a part of, said Geeraert.

I was here last year and got some experience. Its a good tournamentto be a part of we have a really good group of guys that (ofciate) it.

There are a lot of really good supervisors here and if you put on agood show, it can take you a long ways.

When you work hard, good things start to happen.According to Geeraert, he also has dreams of working in the West-

ern Hockey League. However, the 22-year-old knows working his wayup the ladder is the key to success.As for right now, he is enjoying his time on the ice.Its good to be part of the game, its good exercise, said Geeraert.

Then Ill try and take it to the next level.

Local ofcials enjoy

UFA BiSonS

Dec. 28, Father David Bauer Arena The UFA Bisons erased a two-goal

decit by scoring four unanswered

goals en route to a 6-4 win over theSSAC Athletics. After scoring the rst goal, the Bi-

sons fell behind 4-2 before stormingback with a huge second half and tak-ing control of the game, along withtop spot in Pool 1 at the Macs MidgetHockey Tournament.

They boys showed a lot of character,(especially) when we got down afterthe rst, said forward Joshua Betinol,who sparked the comeback with a goalmidway through the second period.We came back in the second hard andgot a few quick goals and held the leadfrom then on. Shift after shift, we keptgetting better.

We need to keep it simple really were a good forechecking team soif we play to our strengths, get pucksdeep, work hard and skate on it, wellbe successful.

Connor Bleackley, Chandler Irvin,Kevin ORourke, Austin Masse andParker Evans-Campbell also scored forthe Bisons, who improved to 2-0-1 inthe tournament.The game essentially eliminated the

Athletics from the tournament, who de-feated the Bisons last year en route towinning championship.

They played a great game, theyvegot a lot of talented guys they are thedefending champs and they knocked usout of the tournament last year, so it

Bisons elevate their game to the Macsdoes feel good, said head coach Jere-my Friesen. It is different personnel onboth sides, but it comes down to prideand taking care of the program. Youcan take a lot of pride in doing that.

Dec. 30, Father David Bauer Arena The UFA Bisons entered the nal

round robin game with one goal inmind victory.A win or a tie would secure the Bi-

sons top spot in Pool 1 and guaranteedthem a playoff game on New Years Eve.

Chander Irvin, Parker Evans-Camp- bell and Aaron Macklin each scoredrst period goals and goaltender Wil-

son Sproule made 30 saves to makesure that would happen.It feels good to nally be able to

secure a playoff spot and keep doing what we do best - winning, beamedSproule after the 3-1 victory. I have togive credit to the boys, theyre playingreally good in front of me. Theyre notgiving up too many chances it hasnothing to do with me. Im just tryingto keep it simple.According to Friesen, he is not sur-

prised that his netminder deectedcredit from himself.

Hes more than happy to pass off(the spotlight), said Friesen. A prime

example is today, he wins the game star hes already won one and he walksin the room and hands it off to anotherguy who he thought deserved it. Thatsjust the type of kid he is he is a tre-mendous individual on and off the ice.

The UFA Bisons have used the termoften this year bend, but dont break.

In the rst playoff game of the MacsMidget Hockey Tournament, the localtriple-A midget team did just that.

Parker Evans-Campbell and JoshuaBetinol each scored rst period goals,before the Bisons bent in the secondperiod, allowing the Flames to even thecontest at two heading into the nal pe-riod.

However, Dale Nerland and ConnorBleackley each scored in the third pe-riod, lifting the Bisons to the quarter-nals of the Macs Tournament with a4-2 win.

We knew going into the dressingroom after the second that we wouldhave to step it up, said assistant coachMike Voytechek. We got back on ourheels a bit, but they re-grouped and didexcellent in the third.

When the UFA Bisons ran into some injuryproblems at the Macs Midget Hockey Tourna-ment, Zach Wittenburg made the most of his op-portunity.The Wheatland Chiefs prized defenceman, who

is an afliate player with UFA, stepped into actionduring the nal round robin game and all threeplayoff contests, impressing Bisons head coachJeremy Friesen in the process.

Hes a guy that weve had to use due to injuriesand things signicantly throughout the year - Ithink that may have been his 10th or 11th game,said the coach. Were comfortable with him andwhat he brings to the table. Hes got some offen-sive ability too that weve havent seen quite yet,but hes bought right in.

He has stepped in for (the injured players) andpicked up where they left off. So hes doing what-ever it takes to help the guys out and win.

He understands the magnitude of this tourna-ment as well, its a great opportunity for him andhes done everything in his power to seize thatopportunity.

Despite not being part of the regular Bisonslineup, Wittenburg is familiar with the team andtheir program. He was also a member of lastseasons Wheatland Chiefs, who won the leaguechampionship with current Bisons Rylan Muen-chrath, Devon Westby, Alex Bechtold and Wilson

Theyre really tight, very passionate playersand a great coaching staff, said Wittenburg of hisafliate team. Everyone bonds and its like a sec-ond family for them. Ive played with (or against)most for all my life, so they all know me andwhatnot. Its an easy transition.

Wittenburg was given a regular shift during thegames hes played and made the most of them.He was given time on the power play and thepenalty kill.

Im used to it, Ive played a lot of games withthem, said Wittenburg. It was a great experi-ence.

UFA Bisons vs

CAlgAry nW FlAmes

Dec. 31, Max Bell Centre Playo Quarterfnal

Bisons kept rolling four lines and eventuallypulled out the win.

We have incredible depth, thats whats going totake us far, said Evans-Campbell, who was namedthe games star. There is no doubt we can play

with any of the guys (they put on the ice). Itsmuch easier for us to roll four line and keep thelegs fresh.

UFA Bisons vs PrinCe AlBert mintos

Dec. 31, Max Bell CentrePlayo Semifnal

When the UFA Bisons and the Prince Albert Min-tos collided in the seminal of the Macs MidgetHockey Tournament, head coach Jeremy Friesencalled it a feeling out process.The two teams never squared off prior to puck

drop and in fact, neither team had time to scoutthe other during the tournaments round robingames.

So when the two teams nally met, the Bisonshad no chance to make adjustments to their game

until after the rst period.After a scoreless opening period and allowing

the rst goal early in the second period, the Bisons

intermission adjustments took place, as they net-ted three goals in a span of 5:38 en route to a hardfought 4-2 win.

The rst period was more of a feeling out pro-cess we have never seen this team before, wehadnt had a chance to watch them for ve to 10minutes to see where theyre at, said Friesen. So(the rst period) was really to see what kind ofgame plan they bring and what kind of things theylike to do.

From there we made a couple of adjustmentsto tighten up the gap with our defence, make sure

we had good forward support. Make sure our for-wards were coming back more and catching themon the transition.

I think that was our success today we startedcatching them through the neutral zone with speedand generated a lot more scoring opportunities,

Forward Alex Bechtold opened the scoring be-fore Chandler Irvin and Conner Bleackley gave theBisons a 3-1 lead going into the third.After the Mintos made a signicant third period

push, Bleackley added an insurance marker be-fore the Prince Albert added a tally with just 17seconds left.

We stuck to the systems and we played as a

team, said forward Rylan Muenchrath, who addedan assist in game. If we get down a goal, we seemto rebound and comeback with a goal.
