An arrest has been made in
the death of Brenda Walker,49, who was found dead inher home in Strathmore on
Jan. 6. Glenn Randall, 52, hasbeen arrested and chargedwith first-degree murder andis scheduled to appear inStrathmore court on Jan. 20.
First-degree murder is de-fined as being planned anddeliberate, whereas second-degree is where killing wasstill intentional, but it was notplanned in advance, and issometimes considered heat ofthe moment.
All I have been advised by
the investigators is they hadreasonable probable groundsfor laying the first-degree mur-der charge. I understand thecrown was consulted on thatand thats the charge they felt
was appropriate, said StaffSgt. Kevin Reilly during apress conference on Jan. 7.
Strathmore RCMP had re-ceived a 911 call from a wom-an, who from all indicationsappears to be Walker herself,on Jan. 6 at approximately1:11 a.m. Upon arriving onthe scene a few minutes laterRCMP found Walker deceasedin her home.
The RCMP Major Crimesand RCMP Identification sec-tions were called in. On the af-ternoon of Jan. 6 Randall wasidentified as a suspect and ar-rested without incident.Walker and Randall had
been previously involved in arelationship, which had endedin late 2014.
Brenda Walker ended it inlate 2014, the RCMP have noprevious history from either ofthose people of any domestic
violence incidents prior to thisinvestigation, said Reilly.

With the announcement of new schools, and various otherprojects, Golden Hills School Division (GHSD) found 2014 to
be a good year.We undertook a fairly significant parent and community
engagement process last year and we had a great responsefrom parents across the district, said Bevan Daverne, superin-tendent of schools for GHSD. Between our face-to-face meet-ings through school councils and responses to our surveysthat went out we heard from over 1,100 parents. We receivedfeedback on a number of areas, (such as) technology, our pro-gramming, report cards a number of areas.That feedback has been incorporated into planning for the
2015 year.Staff at GHSD and on the board are also interested in hear-
ing from the students to find out what they would like to seethat will help them be engaged, happy, enjoying their learningand doing well academically.
Kids that like going to school and like their school, lovetheir school, have school spirit, are engaged in their school,
also do really well in exams and it all ties back to whats hap-pening at the classroom and how were teaching and what
were doing in the classroom, said Daverne.Were looking for a stronger kind of partnership and stu-
dent voice in our district so we really do want to hear from
our students (and) were looking for ways that will make thateasier for everybody.The overall goal is to create a plan that will work with stu-
dents, staff, parents and board members when it comes tocommunicating.
Were looking at a communication initiative, and were stillin the planning stages. Its not entirely easy, weve had someschools that (have already) piloted some direct and easy com-munication with parents and were looking rolling that outacross the district now.
GHSD wants to tie parent communication in with transpor-tation and busing, in with weather problems and school prob-lems, and other notifications from teachers and the schools sothat its a more immediate and a quicker process to let parentsknow what is going on in the event of an emergency situation,or even just a reminder about parent teacher interviews.
GHSD is still looking to add and enhance various programsat schools within the division.
Things like dual credit programming, things like someof our apprenticeship and business partnerships at the highschool level and even some of our co-curricular and othercore programming at the elementary and junior high level.
Were looking at all of those things to see what we can doto enhance what we have been doing in many areas, saidDaverne.
GHSD wants parents and students to love their schools andnot want to go anywhere else.

The annual Canadian Cancer SocietyRelay for Life will be coming back tothe area this summer. Participation has
been down, and last year resulted in theevent being cancelled. With new leaders
at the helm brimming with fresh ideas,the event, scheduled for June 13, is sureto be a success.
Robin Navin has taken over the roleof coordinating the Wheatland Countyevent.
Navins brother-in-law Peter was diag-nosed with brain cancer at the age of30. On Oct. 18, 2013, at the age of 41,he passed away, leaving behind a two-
year-old son.2013 was also Navins first year at the
Relay for Life with her team For PetesSake, which included 12 adults and twokids. Together the team raised an amaz-ing $7,585.
This year were going to do a newformat, its going to be a six-hour relay,
versus 12 hours. Its no longer goingto be overnight, so it will run from 5p.m. to 11 p.m., said Siobhan Doherty,revenue fund development coordina-tor with the Canadian Cancer Society,
who is also helping organize the event.We need to have the dusk aspect inthere for the luminary ceremony but we
want to make it a more family centeredevent.
I think Strathmore, just with the de-mographic, needs to be family and pet-friendly and surrounded by that, thatsmy big goal is to make sure kids feel
welcome, the whole family (feels wel-come), said Navin.
Whereas before I think a lot of thefamilies were left out because of theovernight aspect and then it just leftit with a lot of younger kids or olderpeople.
Another new thing this year is thatthe Relay for Life will be held at Kins-men Park, which is a pet-friendly, cen-tral location.
The town is invited and they cancome see luminaries ceremony, comelight their luminaries, (give) dona-tions and support the teams even if
they arent actually participating in theevent, though we do encourage any-one and everyone to put in teams, saidDoherty.
Both women would like to see it be-come an event like Canada Day or Fam-ily Day where everyone knows familyfriendly stuff is happening.
I think if we can really make it atown-centered event with family, thatsour big thing I think is being a familyoriented event I think taking it from the12 hour to the six hour will really makea big difference in that, said Doherty.
For anyone who registers to take part,there is no minimum fundraising goal,
but there is a suggestion of raising $150.The next few months will be filled
with finding the volunteers and/orboard members who can help withplanning the event.
It will be held in Strathmore and alot of the planning committee will likely
be from Strathmore, but we do encour-age surrounding areas to come. We will
be extending invitations to basically allof the different areas that dont havetheir own Relay for Life that might beinterested in coming out, said Doherty.People that want to get involved in any
way, we encourage them to contact us.There is no minimum of how many
hours a volunteer should put in; evenjust providing ideas and advice, time, ortalent are all appreciated.
More information can be found onthe Facebook page, Wheatland County
AB Relay For Life, or by calling RobinNavin at 403-703-0057.
Relay is back for 2015
Robin Navin (l) has taken over planning for the2015 Wheatland County Relay for Life event,
which will be held at Kinsmen Park on June 13.
She has the help of Siobhan Doherty, revenue
fund development coordinator with the Canadian
Cancer Society to ensure the events success.

On the last day of 2014, Paul Muir, EducationDirector, took time to tell me about the kind ofyear it was for him and Rosebud School of theArts (RSA). It really feels like a time when God isopening the floodgates, Muir said, saying, Okay,Rosebud, this is your time. Youre just going to be
in a time of blessing right now. On the whole support and do-nations front, weve had an unprec-edented year, he said. Weve hadmany many other partners step upto the plate this year.
Dick and Lois Haskayne made anunbelievably generous donation,which, along with a CommunityFacility Enhancement grant, paidoff the mortgage on the Mercantilebuilding. Muir expressed gratitudethat the Haskaynes could see thething that was blocking that heart(of Rosebud) from being able toactually flourish and do what itsmeant to do. BMO and Encanawere also fantastic, he said. Two
families also donated vehicles totransport students.
Unexpected blessings came through variouschallenges RSA faced throughout the year. As thefaculty and board worked together to meet thosechallenges, Muir said, he felt the leadership andthe school became even stronger, more united.This fall had an extra blessing and affirmation
for Muir himself, as Trinity Western University(TWU) in Langley, B.C. invited him to be Artist-in-Residence, teaching acting classes and directingtheir Christmas show. I was completely honoredto be asked, he said, and is thankful for his dedi-cated and talented colleagues David Snider andMaki Van Dyke, who enabled him to go.
Personally, hes also grateful that, during thosefour months, he stayed with an uncle who hadinvested heavily in Muirs life when he was a boy.It really was precious to have that time together(with my uncle). I wouldnt have traded that foranything, he said. This has been a chance for meto give back to him a little bit.
Overall, his time at TWU was a lot of affirma-
tion, he said, as an acting teacher, as a directorand just as someone working as an instructor inthis ... faith-and-theatre kind of world. There werecertainly just lots of affirmations that this is whereIm meant to be. Teaching at TWU also affirmedthat what we are doing as a school here at Rose-bud, that its just absolutely right, he said. Wereon the right path.
Coming back, Muir has a clearer perspective of
what needs to be tweaked at RSA-- revamping the theatre tech pro-gram, for instance, and refining theActing Programme. With the debtload gone, RSA is hiring a new re-cruitment officer and a marketingmanager. Im really excited aboutthe ways forward from here, interms of us redefining who we areand how we put ourselves out therein the world, he said.
RSA signed a transfer agreementwith Briercrest College in Saskatch-ewan in September, so Rosebud stu-dents can now transfer more thana year of classes toward a degree.Muirs in similar discussions withTWU, and said, I feel confident that
before the year is out, well have asimilar transfer agreement with Trinity.
In 2014 and every year, Muir said, the richestblessing is watching students develop. In spring,second and third-year students took study tripsto New York and Toronto. In spring and fall, thesecond-year class performed The Great Divorceand The Masque of Beauty and the Beast. Threestudents produced successful Final Projects, and,in September, four students graduated as Fellowsof Rosebud School of the Arts.The greatest joy for Muir and his colleagues
comes from seeing students grow in the smalllittle ways, moment to moment, day to day, hesaid. A break-through in someones acting alwaystranslates into some personal breakthrough. ... Ul-timately, as artists, and as human beings, were alljust trying to grow, be more alive, be more pres-ent, be healthier, and grow closer to God.
One day it might be some little breakthrough,but on another day, it might be a big break-through, he said. When that stuff happens, all ofus just go, Ah, this is why we do what we do.

The UFA Bisons are looking for a new titlesponsor starting in the 2015-2016 season.
UFA notified the club that after 18 loyal sea-sons of sponsorship that they are moving in adifferent direction.
We recognized them for 18 years of support.UFA has been the only title sponsor that the Bi-sons have ever had, said Bisons GM Wayne Han-sen. Were going to start our search, starting inthe New Year, for a replacement title sponsor.
Hansen could not emphasize more how muchof an impact a sponsor has on a hockey team.
A sponsor for us is really important with re-gards to the visibility of our team. Were a hostteam at the Macs, its little things like that, saidHansen. We know that there is some great com-panies out there that will have some interest.
Since the notice from UFA, there has beensome expressed interest from sponsors, but it has
just been mainly discussion.Weve had preliminary conversations with a
couple people. One of the things that we reallywanted to do was to make sure we put a package
together that explained to everybody what it re-ally means to be the title sponsor of the Bisons,said Hansen. We now have that package thatsready to go and well be ready to move forward
with that in the New Year.UFA provided a lot of support to the Bisons,
and the next sponsor, will hopefully do the same.UFA, for 18 years was a partner with us, they
worked with us fantastically. We did minor hock-ey clinics and various things with them through-out the year, said Hansen. Its important who-ever comes in also has that desire to want to be
visible in the community.
He added that they are not closing their op-tions with any sponsors, but said it would be
beneficial to have a Strathmore sponsor.UFA and the Bisons have had a terrific rela-
tionship for 18 years and we were looking at thestart of the 2014-2015 season. We sat down andhad a conversation with the Bisons about whatthe future looked like and we agreed it was UFAslast year of support, said Richard Peter, spokes-person for UFA.
UFA is looking forward to new partnershipsthat will help us just to focus on the areas thatmatter most to the members of an agriculturalcooperative.
UFA was very happy to be associated with theBisons, but admit it was time to turn their atten-tion to other programs.
Its certainly an important part of the Strath-more community and UFA has always beenhappy to be a part of that but what were look-ing at now for UFA is obviously agriculture and
youth in the community where our members liveand work, said Peter. We have really significantsponsorships with organizations like Alberta 4-H,
Ag for Life, which is about rural education andsafety.
Peter did not want to echo the notion that UFAis trying to stray away from sports organization.
No I dont think thats the conclusion. I thinkthat if you look at where UFA focuses its com-munity investment, its in the areas that matterfor members. The winners for the Get and Giveprogram, some of the facilities that are gettingthe $50,000 of capital are associated with sport,said Peter.
If you are interested in being the primary spon-sor of the Bisons beginning next season, you cancontact Rich Biccum at 403-978-5756 or e-mail([email protected]).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor
I would first like to congratulate Heather Forsythfor taking on the role of interim leader of the WildroseParty. I was disappointed when Ian Donovan and Ker-ry Towle chose to cross the floor, but was devastatedand angry when nine more including Danielle Smithcrossed. Many of these people I have called friendsfor several years. Wildrose MLAs were elected to pro-
vide opposition and accountability to the government
and I feel they have fulfilled that role very well.I have received a lot of phone calls and e-mails as
well as conversations with Wildrose supporters in thepast week and only two people have stated to me thatthey think the floor crossers did the right thing.
In response to Jason Hales letter of excuses forcrossing the floor, the opposition does not have tooppose every effort by the government, but does needto keep it accountable going forward. This is going to
be even more important in the near future with lowoil prices and reduced revenues. As well there is notnow nor will there be in the near future any danger ofleft wing parties succeeding because of vote splittingon the right.Jim Prentice has only been Premier of Alberta for a
very short time and with the exception of implement-ing a few minor Wildrose policies, has done nothing
but make promises. It is far too early to decide if heis going to be the very kind of Premier I and manyothers have worked diligently to see elected.
I also believe Premier Prentice has made promisesthat he can not fulfill including a near guarantee thatthey will be the PC candidates in the next election.
That decision is made by the local constituency as-sociations and has already received a lot of backlash.One floor crosser is already regretting is decision to
cross after finding out he is not guaranteed to be thenext PC candidate.
I was disappointed that the Wildrose MLAs calledin and listened to Preston Manning who is now apolo-gizing for giving them bad advice. Some of the floorcrossers made their decision after listening to Mr.Manning.Alberta got into trouble because we had no credible
opposition for most of the first 40 years of PC rule.Wildrose has worked very hard and very effectivelyto change that sense of entitlement. I believe that thefloor crossers were outsmarted by Premier Prenticeand crossed the floor for personal gain and will cometo regret their decisions.
John Bland,
Strathmore
Disappointment in crossing

Minister of State for Finance, and Crowfoot rid-ing MP Kevin Sorenson reflects back on 2014.
When I look back on 2014 there are two eventsthat are very emotional for me, the first one I lostone of my closest friends and colleagues Jim Fla-
herty our Finance Minister, said Sorenson.The call came in that morning, April 10, with
news that the ambulance was at Flahertys house.Sorenson said he, and other colleagues, had
been hoping that Flaher ty would be able to retireand spend time with his wife and kids. The factthat he was taken was a very emotional time forSorenson because Flaherty was such a good friendand colleague.
The other thing of course when I think backon 2014 was the shooting on Parliament Hill andthat morning when sitting in the caucus room with175 of my colleagues and all of a sudden the shotsrang out and just the fear that I think we all had,those are the two big events that I remember, but2014 in spite of all that (was) a good year.
Sorenson said 2014 was a productive year on a
couple of different fronts.As Minister of State for Finance for Canada, Iam very pleased with the way our economy has
grown. Weve laid out measures in our last bud-get to focus on job creation and now we see thenumbers that since 2009 in the lowest part of therecession weve helped create 1.2 net new jobs inCanada, said Sorenson.
Between 80 to 90 per cent of that are full timejobs in the private sector. There have also beennew tax measures put into place for families, and
the investment in infrastructure and other areas ispart of why Canada is seen as having one of thestrongest economies.A few other major events stand out from the past
year. The stand Canada took against Russia whenthey went into the Ukraine, and the one the PrimeMinister took with Vladimir Putin stand out to So-renson, as does the principal stand Canada hastaken against ISIS/ISOL and evil.
We continue to work with our allies, were in-volved in air strikes against the ISOL targets, theyhave taken over certain oil fields and they haveammunition storage facilities that we continue tohit and we work together with our allies on that,said Sorenson.That is something that will be followed well into
2015.
It has been a fragile recovery since 2008-2009,and things wont be easy in 2015, especially withdropping oil prices, but Sorenson said the Cana-
dian government promises to take measures that will con-tinue making things better for families, like helping with jobcreation and business growth.The dropping oil prices are also having an impact on the
federal side of things, but the key is to continue to monitorthings and to plan for any economic impact it may make atthe federal level.
In spite of pulling up to the pumps and seeing the advan-tage there certainly we know that our social programs andeverything else we spend on is affected by the revenues thatcome in, so we have to keep disciplined, we have to makesure that we manage wisely, said Sorenson.
We recognize, unlike the Liberal leader Justin Trudeau whosays budgets will balance themselves, no, it takes discipline,it takes focus, it takes hard work and thats what were doing.
Sorenson said the government is going to continue movingforward with balanced budgets and work on legislation tocontinue to protect the streets and communities across thecountry.

With the snow on theground it may be hard tobelieve, but it wont be toolong until the Alberta 55Plus Summer Games comesto Strathmore. The Alberta55 Plus Summer Games So-ciety along with the Townof Strathmore, Alberta SportConnection, Alberta Gov-ernment and the Alberta 55Plus Association will run thegames.
Since the announcementthat Strathmore won the bidto host the Games the Soci-ety has been hard to workpreparing and planning. Oneof the hardest, and most es-sential things needed for anevent this size, is sponsor-ship.
Our total budget for the
games is $1.3 million. So farlocal sponsors have come onboard to the tune of about$536,000. We have had sucha great response so far fromthe community, said Cave
Starling, Friends of theGames director.
To date, with other fundsthat have been committedthrough Casinos and govern-ment grants, we are aboutat $800,000 but still have along way to go to attain our$1.3 million.
There are different spon-sorship levels available andmany ways that businesses,organizations and individu-als can get involved andhelp out.
We accept any type ofhelp we can get for thegames. Besides cash dona-tions, we accept gift in kinddonations as well. Gift inkind donations are supply-ing a budgeted item, offset-ting the expense that wewould have to otherwisepay, said Starling.
For example, Precise Vacu-
um Services, a local supplierof vacuum cleaners, vacuflosystems and repair servicescame to the aid of the soci-ety by supplying them witha vacuflo system for their of-

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
For LaVerne Erickson, founder ofRosebud School of the Arts and Rose-bud Theatre, it was a busy, yet fulfilling
year.After spending months of 2014 re-
covering from back surgery, Ericksonstarted a new project this fall: teach-ing a course on rural community-basedtourism at Hope College in Drumheller.The course has no Canadian textbook
available, but with his experience in-cluding founding Rosebud School andTheatre, Canadian Badlands PassionPlay, and Chemainus Theatre: and serv-ing as Alberta Travel Ambassador, Er-ickson acknowledges, Im like a livingtextbook of what is to be done.
He hopes the course will result in anew crop of rural tourism enterprisesin Alberta.
Erickson emphasizes his concern forrural Albertan life.An ongoing challenge (I see) is the
decline of rural population, and the ef-fect that it has on our sense of com-munity and wellbeing as a country,he says. The young people that growup in Rosebud either they have tobe entrepreneurs and figure out some-thing they can do here, or else they goto the city. We spend our families en-ergy raising bright young people andthen we lose them to the city.
Besides the economic impact, I thinkthere are a lot of moral implications,he says, because of the values that wehave (in rural areas) that come from usbeing Christ-like to one another.
When he talks about being Christ-like, he says people often protest,youre trying to push Christianity.
But his point is simply that wed alldo better if we lived the way Jesus did.
Thats who we want to be like, hesays, because if were not like that, oursocietys going to fall apart. if werenot truthful and honest and caring.
If my focus is on myself and mywealth, and my little circle of friends,
it becomes self-defeating. On the otherhand, if we invest ourselves in others,we forget about ourselves and werebuilding something thats going to behanded down.
Everybody who comes (to Rosebud),
we want them to have some sense ofbelonging. So many people dont feellike they belong anywhere.
So in 2015, were going to have somework-bees here, he said. So theyremaybe going to come and plant treesand build a gazebo.Theyre also exploring the feasibility
of a community garden.Jesus drew a circle of love so big
it took in the whole world, he says.Communities are big circles of love. Sothats my year-end message. The older Iget, the more important that is.
Erickson mentioned friends, neigh-bors, even former students, who passedaway or received serious diagnoses in2014.
That and turning 71 himself alsoshapes his perspective on the yearahead.
If were getting to the end of (life),we have to express our appreciation forone another, he says. If theres some-thing that needs to be resolved in ourrelationship, lets be truthful and honestand pursue that and make sure this allcomes to the kind of conclusion that itshould.

UFA Bisons vs SSAC Athletics
Dec. 29 Max Bell Centre
The UFA Bisons were left searchingfor answers after Athletics goalie MattBerlin turned in a stellar performanceas he stopped everything the Bisonthrew at him.The Herd
was able toscore two latepower playgoals fromShane Fraserand AustinCameron, butlost 4-2.Assistant coach Sandy Henry admits
if the Bisons capitalized on some ear-ly chances the outcome of the gamewould have been different.
I thought maybe really early in thegame we had a significant number of
chances and for whatever reason didntfinish them. (We) didnt do that ex-tra little thing it takes to finish pucksagainst a good goalie, said Henry. Ithink eventually we lost a little of themomentum because we couldnt getthat to go in, and maybe a little bit offrustration with how the games going,youre working hard getting chancesand not getting results.The Athletics, who were playing their
fourth game in four nights, played thegame simple and buried their chanc-es at pivotal times whereas the Bisonscould not keep pace.
I think we got off our game think-ing about feeling sorry for ourselves alittle bit and in 60 minutes of hockey,theres not any time to feel sorry foryourselves because you get behind theeight ball. They continued to score ontheir chances, said Henry. I was hap-py that we gutted up, we got one, ifwe couldve got that one earlier in thegame and it wouldve created a differ-ent momentum for us.The Bisons were noticeably making
Berlins job easy, as they did not getenough traffic in front of him as a lotof the shots were coming from the pe-rimeter.
We talked about our net front pres-ence in the offensive zone, it wasntgood enough. Goalies in this league, ifthey see pucks from 30 feet out, theyre
hard to beat, said Henry. In the thirdperiod we got that traffic and I thinkwe got some pucks through and theyhad a chance to go in.UFA Bisons vs Tisdale Trojans
Dec. 30 Father David Bauer Arena
The surging Tisdale Trojans gave theUFA Bisons all they could handle in thefinal round robin game.
Despite having a 3-1 lead aftertwo periods, the Bisons were deter-mined to not let this one slip awayand held on for a 3-2 victory to ad-vance to the quarterfinals.
I think it was a lot of good,tough play and a lot of guys real-ly trying their best, so when youdo that, you do survive, said headcoach Dan MacDonald.The Bisons were able to sustain
an early lead and battled hard againsta resil-ient Trojanteam.
Its al-
ways ourplan, wew a n t e dto initiateeverythingand thatswhat makes us a good team, said Mac-Donald.
I thought we forechecked really welland our defensive zone play was verygood and we had some good goaltend-ing, so when you add all that up andwe had a chance to be successful.
There were times when the Bisonshad to make some adjustments butthey always picked up their man skat-ing back into their zone.
The biggest thing was picking up
the right guy when we came back andthats something we havent done realwell this year but we did it well today.If you focus hard on what youre sup-posed to do and what your responsi-bilities are, thats what allowed us toovercome the thrust they had, saidMacDonald.
Fraser, Trgve Many Guns and GaryHaden scored in the win.FA Bisons vs Calgary Buffaloes
Dec. 31 Max Bell Centre
The UFA Bisons showed the neversay die attitude in their quarterfinalgame against the Calgary Buffaloeson New Years Eve at the Max BellCentre.
The Bisons were down 3-0 to the Buf-faloes halfway through the game, butturned it up a notch once they foundtheir legs.
I think we didnt get out of the gatequite how we wanted. I dont know ifwe thought we were giving them toomuch respect, said assistant coachSandy Henry. We didnt seem to be fin-ishing too many checks and were try-ing to do a little bit too much with thepuck.Will Conley was able to make it 3-1 by
roofing a shot over the Buffaloes goalieNick Sanders in tight with 3:21 left inthe middle frame and gained some mo-mentum back going into the third.
We came back and regrouped, Ithought our second period got consid-erably better and in the third we werethe better team, said Henry.
It appeared the Buffaloes had satback on the puck the rest of the gameand thats where the Bisons kept pres-suring them and kept the fans on edge
in the later stages of the game.Gary Haden snapped one blocker
side to inch closer to tying the gameat 8:52 of the final period, and two
minute later, Barrett Sheen got onethrough traffic from the point to tiethe game.The Buffaloes caught a break at
their own blue line and went downon a three-on-one, and Damon Por-
ter finished it by chipping it over KurtisChapman to win it 4-3 with 7.1 secondsleft.
At the end, yeah a little bit of a badhop off our defensemen at their blueline, (the) stick gets knocked out of hishands, he takes a second to pick it up.Weve kind of have it plugged up in theneutral zone but not quite and then theymake a play, said Henry. We didntquite have enough to win the game andin the same respect, its a great step for
our team, were just continuing to showthat resiliency and thats just basicallywork ethic.
The Bisons worked hard through theduration of the tournament and Hen-ry believes that is only going to make
them stronger goingforward.
We were happywith the whole tourna-ment. I think our teammade some steps againand thats what werelooking for in the bigpicture because ourguys are getting bettereveryday, said Henry.

The Strathmore-based Team Jones,consisting of McKenna Jones, Krista
Shortridge, Jessica Koch and HannahAirey, is currently participating at theJunior Curling Provincials in GrandePrairie from Jan. 7-11.
Shortridge is hoping the team willlean on experience to have success inthe tournament.
I think were a pretty experiencedteam, this is our first year being to-gether as a team, said Shortridge. Iexpect us to do well, Im hoping weplace in the top half.This the first time that the team has
competed in the junior age divisionand the team has adjusted well.
Its our first year in this age divi-sion. So juniors are from ages 18 to
21, and three of us on the team are18 and one member on the team is13, she is playing well above her agecategory, said Shortridge.There will be a lot of familiar faces
that the team is curling against andthey know they will have to be ontop of their gameTeam Jones earned a spot in pro-
vincials two months ago by playingin a draw format against other teamsat play downs in Calgary.
Theres an event called JuniorSouthern Play Downs and it was heldat the Calgary Winter Club. You com-pete against different teams and the
Top 3 teams make it to junior provin-cials and there were about eight girls
teams, said Shortridge.In the provincials, the team will
play five other teams and place in theTop 3 if they have hope of going tothe national championshipThe girls want to play well but
know that in order to that, they haveto enjoy playing the sport.
To play well, you have to makesure youre having fun and the onething I dont want to do is look backand not be able to say I didnt havefun, said Shortridge.
If the girls can make it throughprovincials, then they will play in theNational Junior Championships from
Jan. 24 to Feb. 1 in Cornerbrook, NL.

The New Year hasnt been too kindto the Wheatland Kings so far, as theyhave dropped all three games to begin2015.The team was just outworked in a 7-2
loss to the Medicine Hat Cubs on Jan.2, and held their own for most of thegame in a 5-0 loss at home to the No. 1ranked Blackfalds Wranglers on Jan. 3.
Head coach Jeremy Blumes is confi-dent that the boys are working hard toget out of this funk that they are in andto stay positive.
I thought in our game against Medi-cine Hat we got outworked and their
special teams was better than ours andthe better team won that night, saidBlumes.

Brett Dumaine and LucasJones scored in the defeat.
I think (Saturday) we did
Blumes and his staff reallystressed before the game thateach player has characterand to show that on the ice
because they are capable ofproducing.
We just want those guysto be leaders, hard workers,good teammates and remainpositive. I think weve startedto see the beginning of thatthis evening, said Blumes.
On Sunday evening in Co-
chrane, the Kings earned apoint, but lost a closely con-tested game to the CochraneGenerals 5-4 in overtime.
Read Douglas scored twowhile Kirby Ruzesky andGraham Watkins also addedone each.The Kings will have a pair
of home games next week-end when they play Banff (8p.m.) on Jan. 9 and Coaldale
(8 p.m.) on Jan. 10.
a better job of playing as ateam and staying positiveand sticking to a game planand I thought we executedthat well, he said. A teamthat leads our league in goalsfor, theyre pretty opportu-nistic and they buried theirchances.
He would liked to haveseen more of a battle aroundthe Blackfalds net in finding
those rebounds.I wouldve liked to see us
get more second and thirdrebound attempts. I think hehad 30 to 35 shots and thatspretty good work to get ashutout, said Blumes.
I think we needed to do abetter job of finishing whenwe did get inside their zone.We need to make our oppor-tunities count.

REDEEMING THE TIME
Back in 1967, experts predicted
that by the turn of the century
technology would have takenover so much of the work we do
that the average American work
week would be only 22 hours
long, and that we would workonly 27 weeks a year. As a result,
one of our biggest problems
would be in deciding what to do
with all our leisure time.
Well, I dont know about you, but
that prediction certainly missedthe mark as far as my life is con-
cerned! In fact, most of us seemto be very busy. We never have
enough time. Time is something
that we want most, but we use
worst.So here we are, a few days
into 2015. Will we make any
better use of our time this year?
I believe that Ephesians 5:15-16provides the secret of a wise
time management: 15 Look
carefully then how you walk,
not as unwise but as wise, 16redeeming the time, because the
days are evil.
Apostle Paul is warning us to
watch how we walk, in other
words how we behave thisyear that we just entered. He
encourages us to walk as wise
not as unwise. Well, the question
that you might have is: whatdoes it mean to walk or behave
as wise? Paul does not live
his readers unclear about his
warning. He clarifies for us what
it means to walk as wise.In order for us to walk or behave
as wise we need to redeem the
time. This phrase means to buy
up all the time (every opportu-
nity that God gives you) of our
remaining life on the earth sothat you might set it free. The
question is, set it free from what?We need to set our time free from
waste by making the most ofevery opportunity. It means that
we should stop wasting time and
take advantage of every opportu-
nity possible to serve the Lord. Itmeans to rescue or recover our
time from waste in order to use it
for great and important purposes.
So, in order for us to use our timewisely in 2015 we need to take
charge of our own time. I encour-
age you to make a commitment
to invest your time in somethinguseful and worthwhile in 2015.
As you do that you will redeem
the time and prepare yourself for
eternity.
