Local Showrider ready for Stampede WITH THE PURCHASE OF

ANDREA ROBERTS
Times Contributor
With Strathmore Stampede and Heri-
tage Days right around the corner, Alie-
ra Chernoff is looking forward to the
long weekend – this will be the first
time the 15-year-old will appear as one
of the Calgary Stampede Showriders
since she joined the junior team at age
11.
The Showriders are a group of young
equestrians with a unique western flair.
With their distinctive cowboy hats and
button up shirts, the group travels to
different rodeos to perform their musi-
cal ride and show off the western life-
style.
“I got interested in it because I liked
the aspect of being on a team,” said
Chernoff. “When you are riding it is
usually an individual thing and I like
the idea of being on a team and being
in that kind of atmosphere. Also, I had
watched their performances and it gave
me goosebumps.”
The Showriders have attended the
Strathmore Stampede for many years
and this year they will be returning
once again. On Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, they will open the rodeo with
the grand entry, which has them ride
around the arena with the flags of the
event’s sponsors. Chernoff and the oth-
er Showriders also do a “stand and pat”
where the public can ask them ques-
tions and pet the horses.
Chernoff attends the Golden Hills
Learning Academy which offers a flex-
ible and adaptive learning environment
where every student can choose what,
when and how they want to learn. En-
tering Grade 10 this fall, Chernoff said
she decided on this type of flexible
learning so she would have more time
for riding and spending time with her
horse.
Meanwhile, the summer is busy for
Chernoff. The Showriders train ev-
ery weekend at the Calgary Stampede
grounds and during the winter they
work at home and do foot practices in
Calgary. All this pays off at the many
events they attend.
This year they have appeared at the
Calgary Stampede, Red Deer’s Mane
Event, Okotoks, Canmore and even
Pasadena, California where they took
part in the Rose Bowl Parade.
Despite the busy schedule, Chernoff
said she enjoys herself and is happy to
be a part of the group.
“It is a really amazing program. With-
in a year I learned so much, not just
about horses but about things you will
have to learn as you grow up.”
She added that she has seen an im-
provement in her confidence and pub-
lic speaking skills, and has grown as a
rider.
When she isn’t riding, Chernoff
spends time outdoors, and loves to
swim and run. Once she is done with
school, she wants to go on to learning
sports medicine as a career. She would
also like to partake in the National
Reining Horse Association (NHRA) Fu-
turity event.

The term rodeo loosly translates to “go around” or
“round up” in Spanish and the word rodeo was rarely
used in North America cowboy sport until the 1920’s,
until then it was commonly referred to as cowboy
contests, frontier days or stampedes.
The Strathmore Stampede is the second largest pro

Showcasing Strathmore Leela Sharon Aheer, MLA

LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
Hello Strathmore! The Strathmore Stampede
starts Aug. 2, so get ready for some fantastic en-
tertainment and the hospitality that Strathmore
is famous for. I am thrilled to be attending the
Strathmore parade, rodeo and many other events.
We will be in the parade with the help of our dear
friends Verne and Connie and their beautiful hors-
es and wagons along with lots of candy. Elvis the
Wonder Dog will be with me looking for hugs and
kisses as well. Please join MP Martin Shields and
I for hotdogs at Kinsmen Park afterwards start-
ing at 11 a.m. A $2 donation to the Strathmore
Library gets you a hotdog, chips and a freezie. We
are trying to get some “square paper drinking box
thingies” for water, as our Prime Minister puts it,
but you may have to settle for a regular paper cup
since he seems to be the only person in Canada
that has seen them.
I wanted to talk a bit about electricity. As I write
this, the wind is providing 96 MW, or 0.9 per cent
of Alberta’s 10026 required generation, far less
than the rated 1445 MW of wind generation in-
stalled (check out http://ets.aeso.ca/ets_web/ip/
Market/Reports/CSDReportServlet if you want to
watch our generation mix: it updates about every
five minutes). I have written many articles before
describing what I think is the best model and why
and so I would like to take some time to describe
the outcomes of our working groups and why we
are staying with an energy-only market instead of
the NDP “capacity” market. Basically, a capacity
market pays people to have generation available
whether it is being used or not. We consulted with
many stakeholders across the province to make
this determination. The energy-only market works
like this: generators of electricity are paid for the
electricity that they produce, and they are paid
wholesale, and that can move around.
The companies that generate decide on what
types of generation to do and they decide what
Chestermere-Strathmore
facilities they want to use to create that genera-
tion. Capacity works like this: private generators Strathmore Office:
are paid through something called the spot mar- 403-962-0126
ket, and it is a mix of competitive contracts that 129 Second Avenue
are auctioned and that pays their fixed capital Tuesday-Thursday

competitive market, and it takes renewables into 403-207-9889
the mix as well without overcharging you, the Chestermere.Strathmore@
ratepayer. assembly.ab.ca
We will be amending this legislation in the next
session. This renews certainty in the electricity
system as well as investor confidence. Recently,
Germany has had a crash with their wind power
as they could not sustain the subsidies or keep
up with the maintenance. The need to review our
market-based system was best for all of us as we
cannot keep experimenting with the market. It
drives away competition and makes it more ex-
pensive for all of us.
We presently have 5,000 megawatts of natural
gas, wind and solar contracts approved by the
province. These projects create jobs and bring you
the best price, that is fair and reliable. Did you
know that we have been operating an energy-only
market since 1996 in Alberta? It has provided con-
sumers with some of the lowest electricity costs
in North America and that is a huge competitive
advantage for Alberta. Let’s keep it that way.
You may reach my office at 403-207-9889 or
email (chestermere.strathmore@assembly.ab.ca).
My Strathmore office is open for summer hours
Tuesday-Thursday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 129 Second
Avenue (closed this week for holidays). Please call
ahead at 403-962-0126 for an appointment. As al-
ways, we love to hear from you!

Impaired driving risks

MICHAEL PAYTON
Senior Peace Officer, Town of Strathmore
Town of Strathmore Municipal Enforcement
would like to highlight the dangers of driving
while impaired. Driving while impaired by alco-
hol or drugs is illegal.
In 2018, the federal government updated Cana-
da’s impaired driving laws, including the introduc-
tion of three new cannabis and cannabis/alcohol
blood concentration limits. Cannabis limits work
the same way as blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) does for alcohol. Drivers found over the
criminal limits are considered impaired behind
the wheel.
In 2018, 40 per cent of all 24-hour license sus-
pensions in Alberta were due to drugged driving.
On average, 6,000 people were convicted of im-
paired driving in Alberta each year for the last five
years.
A study by the Canadian Centre on Substance
Use and Addiction reports that cannabis creates
performance deficits in many skills required to
drive safely, such as tracking, reaction time, visual
function, concentration, short-term memory and
divided attention.
According to Health Canada’s 2018 Canadian
Cannabis Survey, 39 per cent of people who had
used cannabis in the past 12 months reported
they had driven within two hours of using canna-
bis, and 43 per cent of those respondents did so
within the past 30 days.
Police have the tools to test drivers for impaired
driving. The Standardized Field Sobriety Test can
be conducted at the roadside and can result in ar-
rest and further evaluation and testing. Starting in
2018, police have also had the ability to request a
breath sample to determine a driver’s sobriety at
any time.
Whether drivers are caught driving drunk or
high, they will face the same consequences.
Driving after using cannabis is as dangerous as
driving after consuming alcohol, and police can
detect drug impairment.
If you are impaired, plan a safe way home. Be
responsible and do not drive if you are under the
influence.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TEACH US TO PRAY
Pass the Salt
When Jesus’ disciples asked him
to teach them to pray, he gave
them a model prayer which is now
very well known. Indeed, for many,
simply saying the first two words,
Our Father, is enough to evoke the
entire prayer. When something is that
familiar, it’s sometimes hard to notice
just how strange some bits are.
Take the first petition, for example:
hallowed be Thy name. It’s easy to
let those words just flow, as if simply
part of the opening address and not
an actual request – analogous to
the form of address encountered in
stories like Arabian Nights: “O King,
live forever.”
And yet, strange as it may seem, I
think Jesus intended our prayers to
begin by truly asking that God honor
his name, respect his reputation,
act in accordance with his revealed
character. For starters, the Bible
records some very bold, very
powerful prayers that build on this
very idea.
In Genesis 18, after God tells
Abraham his plans concerning the
notorious Sodom, Abraham responds
with this bold prayer: “Will you
sweep away the righteous with the
wicked? … Far be it from you! Will
not the Judge of all the earth do
right?” And in Exodus 32, when faced
with God’s anger over the golden
calf, Moses reminds God of the
promise to Abraham to which God

swore on his own name; as well as
how the Egyptians, still smarting from
their own gods’ disastrous defeat,
will spin things to smear God’s name.
And God responds favorably to these
bold prayers for God to hallow his
name.
Building our prayers upon first asking
God to be true to his character
also affects us. If we think through
what that request really means in
our current circumstance, we may
discover that what we need to pray
for has changed. Jesus himself prays
this way as his death approaches:
“Now my soul is troubled, and what
shall I say? ‘Father, save me from
this hour?’ No, it was for this very
reason I came to this hour. Father,
glorify your name!” In praying that
way, Jesus could be confident that
God would supply his most pressing
need – the strength to stand in the
time of trial.
So, if we too truly learn to first ask
God to honor his name, bring his
kingdom, and perform his will, we
can be sure that we too will receive
what we truly need: daily food,
shelter and clothing; forgiveness
of sins; and the strength to forgive
others and to stand against evil in the
time of trial.
Lord, teach us to pray.

Barking neighbour’s dog
To the Editor
I’ve waited for someone to
write about this subject, but I
never see this topic covered in
the Strathmore Times. So I am
going to bring this issue to the
top of the list of most annoying
neighbourhood problems.
A lot of people have dogs
that bark at anything that
moves. Every car that drives by,
cats, people that like to walk
about or some that enjoy kick-
ing back on the back deck.
I like to walk about my yard,
listen to the birds chirp and
just enjoy my little tranquility.
But as soon as I stroll about,
the next door neighbour’s dog
starts barking at me. I try so
hard to ignore, hoping the little
pooch will tire of my presence
and lay down for a nap. But no.
Little canine is relentless and
refuses to dismiss me until I
retreat, frustrated for sure, get-
ting out of his sight. Lucky for
me, one barker wasn’t enough,
so they introduced me to yet
another dog. At first the new
dog didn’t bark at all. But with
constant training the new dog
has mastered the art of barking
relentlessly.
I wonder how many people
shove their dogs out in the
back yard for the day and head
off to work. These owners are
possibly unaware that their
dogs are driving their neigh-
bour nuts all day. But even
when they’re home, inside
Your BBB* Serving Southern Alberta and East Kootenay presents:
BBB Tip of the Week:
watching TV, they never bother
to hush their animal. Too much
of an effort to run out with a
squirt bottle to train them. I go
out in the middle of the night
and spray my dog to shut him
up because he has such a loud
bark. He’s getting quieter but
informs me he just can’t toler-
ate coyotes.
I figure by writing this letter
one can print it off and tape it
to the oblivious owner’s door,
letting them know their dog is
an annoyance.
For the people that own
these constant barking ani-
mals, please understand that
your neighbours don’t ap-
preciate your animals need to
voice themselves. Sure, there
are those that defend by stat-
ing that is what dogs do, they
love to bark. I know my dog
loves the reverberation in his
throat, like he’s some kind of
opera star and we know how
we feel about opera. But when
a dog drowns out the orchestra
of robins chirping, well that is
like magpies squawking out-
side your window first thing in
the morning.
Barking dog owners have to
realize that others don’t share
the same cuteness of their vo-
cal pets, only see them as an
assault on their tranquility.
Let’s train our animals. Fences

Vandalism in the
community garden
To the Editor
On the afternoon of Monday, July 22,
two boys about 11 or 12 years old were
seen in the community garden operated
by Communities in Bloom, located at the
west side of Hope Community Covenant
Church. It is not known if these two boys
were responsible for pulling up vegetables
and plants, but they can be identified by
one of the garden patrons.
The raised beds are rented by patrons of
the garden, many of whom are seniors. A
lot of effort and expense goes into a gar-
den project like this and is a benefit to the
community. Beds are prepared for plant-
ing and the seeds and plants are hand wa-
tered and lovingly cared for. The produce
is only for the patrons of the garden: this
is clearly indicated on the garden sign.
Such wanton destruction of the hard
work of the garden patrons is senseless.
If you have children of the age identified,
take a few moments and talk with them
about respecting other people’s property
and hard work. Maybe ask them what they
have been doing in their afternoon leisure.
This is a teachable moment: don’t pass it
up.

Seventy-Five Years of Western Irrigation District
LINDA JENSEN
Times Contributor
Whether you represent it as seven and a half de-
cades, three quarters of a century or more than the
average life expectancy of an Albertan, 75 years is
something to commemorate.
And that is just what the Western Irrigation Dis-
trict, or WID, has been doing.
Celebrations with irrigators, a presentation for
Historic Calgary Week, and a Strathmore Times
article series, WID Memories, recognize and ac-
knowledge the impact and contributions that fami-
lies have made to this not-for-profit organization
which is headquartered in Strathmore.
In the late 1800s, CP Rail, which would even-
tually connect all of Canada by railroad from the
west coast to the east, promised new Canadian set-
tlers arable land. By 1907, a dam and reservoir
had been built at what is now Chestermere Lake,
along with a canal connecting them to the Bow
River. Canal networks were then
constructed servicing an area of 41
township blocks ranging from Irri-
cana to Carseland north to south and
Chestermere to Cluny east to west.
Irrigation ensured the land would be
able to reliably grow crops even in
dry years. After all, if the west could
grow abundant crops, easterners
would benefit from those crops, too.
In 1944, only 39 years after Al-
berta became a province, the WID
was formed. Five members formed the original
board: Jonathan Wheatley, George Boyack, James
Harwood, Emile Cammaert and Jack McArthur. A
number of descendants of the original board mem-
bers are still on the irrigation roll of the district to
this day. The first general manager was PM Sauder.
The first water systems included flood irrigation
and trenches using shovels and manual labour
on untilled land. Later, contour ditches and tarps
were used to retain water and to recreate dam-like
conditions. In 75 years, the WID has been trans-
formed from manpower, horses and plows, gaso-

changes is profound.
“Flood irrigation now makes up only about
three per cent of the district and low-pressure piv-
ots, which are nearly three times as efficient, now
make up 72 per cent. These kinds of savings mean
the WID has never been more efficient in our use
of water. WID irrigators are growing more food
with less water than they ever have.”
Currently, WID provides water for the irriga-
tion of 95,000 acres of farmland. As well, the WID
conveys water for a variety of agencies including
municipal users, such as the Wheatland Regional
Corporation which services Rockyford, Standard
and Gleichen, and the commercial sector, includ-
ing CrossIron Mills Mall. Livestock farmers also
have access to the water and rural
properties can water lawns or yard
sites. Fees are assessed for each acre
irrigated and for each of the differ-
ent contracts that are offered.
The opportunity to serve and
contribute to the communities they
operate in is important to the WID.
“You serve who you know; there’s a
face to every name,” said McAllister
who added relationships are impor-
tant to him.
When asked about the future for the WID, McAl-
lister said strategic priorities are water security,
water efficiency and financial sustainability. Raelene

Capsule Comments
There is sometimes some confusion about
medications after discharge from a hospital stay.
One idea out of Ireland is using USB memory sticks
containing all the information about medication
to reduce confusion and medication errors. Not
common in Canada yet but you can rely on your
pharmacist to check things out for you so that errors
can be avoided.
There is a real worry in the U.S. About two million
American teens are using some type of electronic
cigarette. They are being treated as a harmless fad
but they are far from it. Most contain nicotine which
is addictive. Use of these cigarettes (called “vaping”)
is in its relative infancy and long-term effects are
not known. Sometimes vaping is described as “less
toxic” than cigarette smoking but users are still
putting an addictive substance into their bodies.
Parents beware.
Some companies may require a drug test as part of
their hiring practice. This may occur more often with
companies whose employees are working in areas
where there is a high risk of injury. One method
of testing is the hair follicle test which can usually
determine drug use within the past three months.
This test is used to detect use of marijuana, cocaine,
amphetamines and opioids. Although not 100%
accurate, it adds information for discussion. If a
person has no head hair, facial or armpit hair is used.
Reason # 139 for not smoking. The vocal cords
become irritated and dried out by the smoke and
the voice becomes deeper and raspy. If you want to
sound like Michael Buble and not Tom Waits, don’t
smoke.

That, on top of the staggering number
of inactive wells in the province.
According to the Orphan Well Asso-
ciation (OWA), there are approximately
170,000 inactive wells in Alberta, repre-
senting about 37 per cent of all wells in
the province.
This number has not changed since
Alberta surface rights advocates met
with the previous government’s rural
caucus in Strathmore a mere two years
ago, in July of 2016. One area in Wheat-
land County, north and south of Carse-
land near Range Road 260 has seen an
increase of orphaned assets this year.
The OWA releases updated land lease
addresses publicly. As of June 5, 2019,
the area around Carseland has added 10
wells to be abandoned by the non-profit
organization. There are also five facili-
ties, more than 40 segments of pipeline
and 35 sites for reclamation in the same
location according to the inventory list.
Not every inactive well becomes an
“orphan” well.
“If companies have gone bankrupt
and there is no legally responsible party,
the AER may designate the wells, fa-
cilities, pipelines and associated site as
‘orphaned,’” said Shawn Roth, senior
advisor, external communications with
Alberta Energy Regulator (AER).

ity for inactive wells that once belonged

to companies that are no longer legally
or financially responsible for the wells;
that is, companies that have become in-
solvent. In the Carseland area, just over
98 per cent of the assets now in the
hands of the OWA formerly belonged to
Anterra Energy Inc., which went into re-
ceivership in 2017 and became insolvent
as of January this year. Inactive wells
belonging to companies that are still in
operation are the responsibility of the
well, facility, pipeline or site owner for
the asset’s lifetime.
“The OWA operates under the del-
egated legal authority of the AER, and
is financially and legally separate from
the AER,” said Roth. “The OWA’s annual
budget is paid for by oil and gas opera-
tors annually through the OWA levy. The
2019 OWA levy amount is $60 million.”
Even so, a 2017 report out of the
University of Calgary’s School of Pub-
lic Policy brought attention to the fact
there is no regulatory timeline to re-
claim the land around inactive wells.
Lucija Muehlenbachs, who authored the
report, stated the “deemed liability of …
inactive wells is so large, presently, that
the fund would be insufficient to cover
the costs” if all inactive wells were to be
abandoned to the OWA.
While Roth stated inactive wells can
be returned to active, producing wells,
Muehlenbach’s research indicated that
even if incentives such as increased oil

DEIRDRE MITCHELL-MACLEAN
Times Contributor
Alberta Agriculture Minister Devin
Dreeshen announced in July he would
be visiting rural areas in the province to
consult with affected community mem-
bers on changes to the previous govern-
ment’s Bill 6.
“Alberta farmers need common-sense
rules that promote farm safety – not pro-
cess, not red tape,” Dreeshen said. “We’re
going to repeal Bill 6, and I plan to meet
with farmers this summer to develop the
legislation to replace it.”
The United Conservative Party cam-
paigned on a promise to review and re-
vise the previous government’s conten-
tious Bill 6 during the 2019 election.
Wheatland County area residents gath-
ered in Bassano in December of 2015
for a Bill 6 town hall that was attended
by former Minister of Agriculture, O’Neil
Carlier. The town hall was organized by
former Wildrose MLA Derek Fildebrandt
and saw hundreds of attendees from the
county and beyond.
One issue raised with the legislation at
the time included requiring family mem-
bers to be deemed employees under the
Act and subject to the same protections.
The Bill was amended in 2016 to exclude
family members from regulation in 2016.
Changes to the Farm Safety Act, passed
in December 2015, included aligning
farms with standard occupational health
and safety standards in January 2016,
required farmers to maintain insurance
with the Worker’s Compensation Board,

Rockyford. Reduced to $181,000 Standard $199,900
or gas prices were realized, less than 12
per cent of inactive wells would be re-
activated.
“Policies should recognize that most
inactive wells will likely never produce
oil or gas again,” stated Muehlenbachs
in her report.
Surface rights advocates say they are
concerned about the reclamation pro-
cess and who will be responsible for
maintenance and clean up in the future.
Roth also stated the “AER is working
with the Government of Alberta, who is
responsible for setting policy, to ensure
that industry – not the Alberta taxpayer –
remains responsible for cleanup activity
and costs.”
Inactive wells are still required to be
turned off for safety reasons, but as
Muehlenbachs noted, the “longer a well
is inactive, the higher the likelihood that
its owner may no longer be around to
arrange and pay for its official abandon-
ment.”
In 2014, the AER introduced the Inac-
tive Well Compliance Program which has
seen non-compliance decrease by over
40 per cent. The AER noted they began
2017 with just over 30,000 inactive wells
and had increased compliance for over
5,000 wells during the previous year.
New numbers released in July show the
program is continuing to work to bring
more licensees into compliance with
regulations for inactive wells.
and aligned compensation with Alberta’s
Employment Standards in January 2018.
WCB claims from farm workers more
than doubled in the first year after the
legislation came into effect, but the issue
of requiring farm employers to use the
provincial insurance provider remained
an area of dispute for some. After three
years since its implementation, many
will be in a knowledgeable place to pro-
vide feedback on their experiences and
expectations for revisions to the Act.
The Ministry is currently accepting
feedback on “appropriate employment
standards, occupational health and
safety requirements for farms, worker’s
compensation insurance, and labour re-
lations” for the farming industry.

for learning, but it also boosts self-es-
teem and confidence.
“The program is designed to give a
helping hand to local families, so chil-
dren are starting school equipped and
ready to learn,” said Aia Hughes, pro-
gram supervisor at the Child, Youth and
Family Hub.
Last year, the Tools for School cam-
paign helped more than 20 families
send their children to school with ev-
erything they needed to succeed. This
year, the goal is to beat that number.

Tips for water safety this summer
ALBERTA RCMP
Media Release
Summers in Alberta are a great time
to hit the lakes and rivers. However, the
increase in people using natural water
ways also leads to increased risk of ac-
cidents and drowning.
This summer, whenever operating a
boat, canoe, or other watercraft take ev-
ery possible precaution to ensure a safe
trip.
Alberta RCMP reminds boaters to al-
ways practice safe boating and not op-
erate a boat while under the influence
of drugs or alcohol. In 2017, drinking
and boating accounted for about 40
per cent of boating related fatalities in
Canada.
Alberta RCMP recommends the fol-
lowing tips to be safe on the water this
summer:
• Never operate a boat while under

Strathmore football players Brady Johansen (l-r), Jack Warrack and Bennett Salmon won a bronze medal with
Team Alberta at the U16 Western Challenge July 15-18 in Kamloops, B.C.
Local Badgers win bronze medal
MARIO PRUSINA
Times Editor
Three members of the Strathmore Badgers
bantam football team represented Team Al-
berta at the U16 Western Challenge July 15-
18 in Kamloops, B.C.
Locals Jack Warrack, Bennett Salmon
and Brady Johansen were part of Alberta’s
bronze medal championship team, whose
journey began on July 11 in Red Deer for
mini-camp. The team boarded a bus for Ka-
mloops on July 13, ahead of their first game
on July 15.
Alberta started off slow and couldn’t re-
cover, en route to a 26-21 loss to B.C. The
wild rose province responded with a 69-0
hammering of Manitoba in the bronze med-
al game on July 18.
“It was an honour to be selected to play on
Team Alberta,” said Johansen. “It was great
playing with and against guys that play at
such a competitive level.
“I wasn’t very nervous. I knew if I played
as hard as I could I’d be fine. Our team
was well prepared, and we are at that level
where everyone knew how they were sup-
posed to execute. It was the best players in
Western Canada, so it was tough competi-
tion. It was challenging because all of the
players are so good.”
Despite winning the bronze, Johansen
and the team were looking for more.
“I felt mixed emotions,” he added. “We
should have beat B.C. and been in the gold
medal game but we proved we could play at
a high level and winning the bronze still felt
pretty good. (However) the coaches and my
teammates taught me so much. I’ll definitely
be a better player because of this experi-
ence.
“I learned a lot, made new friends and had
a great week. Working with these coaches
and playing with my teammates was a great
opportunity for me. I hope to play on Team
Alberta again next year.”
According to Warrack, who kept his
nerves in check, the experience was a lot of
fun and it was interesting to see the talent

level of the other provinces involved.
“I definitely was nervous, but not to an
extreme point,” said Warrack. “I felt really
confident about how we would do in the
game and I just felt really good and trusted
the coaching that we had been receiving to
get us through.
“The competition was super tough. Every-
one who was there was there because they
are a great player and deserved to be there.
It made the compete level extremely high
for everyone.”
Warrack said taking home a bronze medal
felt good, but the experience was invaluable.
“Even though I think we could’ve had
a great matchup in the gold medal game,
bronze is a still a huge accomplishment,” he
noted. “Playing in this tournament will defi-
nitely help me improve as a player. Compet-
ing at such a high level really showed me
how good some other players are and really
made me realize how much the little things
matter in a skill set. Also, the level of coach-
ing taught me a lot as well.”
According to Salmon, it was a new experi-
ence that he will remember.
“It was really cool being selected for Team
Alberta and participate in the Western chal-
lenge,” said Salmon. “It was something new
that I’d never done before. Before each
game I was a little nervous but when the
game started it just felt like a normal game.
“The competition was good. All the play-
ers I practiced against and played against
were good and deserved to be there. Along
the way I pick up a few new strategies, so
I think this tournament made me a better
player.
“It was really cool being part of Team Al-
berta and I think that being on this team
and working with these coaches has really
help me develop more as a player, on the
field and off.”
With the new season around the corner,
Warrack and Salmon have moved on to the
Strathmore Spartans high school football
team as first-year players. Johansen is gear-
ing up for his second and final year with the
Strathmore Badgers bantam team.

Baseball westerns
coming to Strathmore
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The AA Minor Western Canada
Baseball Championships will be
held for the first time in Strath-
more, from Aug. 16-18.
Hosted by the Strathmore Reds,
teams from British Columbia, Al-
berta, Saskatchewan and Mani-
toba will be here.
The recent completion of the
Fair Field diamond in Cheadle,
raising the total number of local
baseball diamonds to three, made
it possible for Strathmore to host
the championship that travels to
each participating province once
every four years.
Five teams from each of the
three age groups will be compet-
ing in the championships. The
U18 games will take place at the
Strathmore Kinsmen Park dia-
mond, U15 will be at Fair Field
Cheadle Lions diamond and the
U13 teams will play at the Strath-
more ag grounds diamond.
Each team will play four games
in the round robin championship
and the top two teams from each
division will vie for the champi-
onship title.
“It’s going to be good, competi-
tive ball because it’s the provincial
champions, the best of the best
from all four provinces, playing,”
said Don Anderson, tournament
chairman. “It’s great to show off
our facilities, our town and bring
good baseball to town. Plus, our
local teams will get to compete
in westerns at that level; all three
age groups get to compete.”
As provincials are being
wrapped up in some provinces,
Alberta’s provincial playoffs for
all three divisions will take place
over the August long weekend.
Once the 2019 provincial win-
ners for each of the four par-
ticipating western provinces are
determined, the schedule with
each province representative can
be completed and the Strathmore
Reds teams will know who their
competition is.
Heading into provincials, the

U18 Reds were in the hot seat
as the number two team in the
province in Tier 1. The U15
Reds held the third spot in Tier
3 before provincials and the
U13 Reds held strong in fourth
place in Tier 1. Part of the rea-
son Strathmore was successful in
their bid to host the champion-
ships can be accredited to how
well all three teams are playing
in their divisions this year.
“It’s going to be good competi-
tion; they’re going to have to be
on top of their game, there are
some pretty good teams,” said
Anderson.
Opening ceremonies for the
weekend will kick off on Aug. 16
at 5 p.m. at Kinsmen Park dia-
mond. Every team will be intro-
duced and present on the field
and some short speeches will
be made. Several alumni of the
Strathmore Reds, who have fur-
thered their baseball ambitions
through playing either college
or professional baseball, will be
present and recognized in the
ceremony and in the program.
Immediately following the
opening ceremonies, the Strath-
more Reds will take to the field
against Team Alberta in a game
at 5:30 p.m.
An event of this calibre and size
requires a lot of hours and vol-
unteers to set everything up. The
organizing committee is looking
for some more volunteers who
can donate their time with vari-
ous tasks such as score keeping,
grounds maintenance or helping
with the opening ceremonies.
The top team from each divi-
sion, crowned 2019 AA Minor
Western Canada Baseball Cham-
pions, will win medals and a
trophy. Following each game, a
Player of the Game award will
also be handed out to each team.
The public is welcome to at-
tend the opening ceremonies and
baseball games, free of charge.
Volunteer information and
game schedules can be found

MMA in
his blood
MARIO PRUSINA
Times Editor

While most kids at a young age begin

to play mainstream sports – hockey,
soccer, baseball, football, etc., – Strath-
more’s Seth Buss had another sport in
mind.
The now 16-year-old envisioned
himself as a mixed martial arts (MMA)
fighter.
“I just always, ever since I was five
years old, wanted to fight,” said Buss.
“I started fighting when I was five…
started off with taekwondo and gradu-
ally moved over to MMA.”
After the doors opened to Strath-
more’s APEX MMA in 2014, Buss made
the move to MMA. In May of 2016, he
came on as staff, assisting the APEX
coaches.
“They needed another instructor
and I was here every day, sometimes
four to five hours,” laughed Buss. “We
do get a lot of people who do want
to try (MMA), but most people don’t

U18 Strathmore Kinsmen Park Ball Diamond

like to get hit and they second guess
themselves. We have people who stick
around with it and some that don’t. It’s
the same for hockey – they get on the
ice and they realize they can’t skate or U15 Fair Field Cheadle Lions Diamond
that they don’t want to get shoulder
checked.”
Buss competed in his first amateur
U13 Strathmore Ag Society Ball Diamond
fight and is eyeing a second fight
this September. His dream is to one
day compete in the Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC), the pinnacle The Strathmore REDS are hosting the
Provincial Champions from BC, AB, SK & MB
MMA organization on the planet.
The UFC’s global reach had hosted
live events, including pay per view
(PPV) fights, all over the world. The
UFC had a successful show in Edmon-
