Adele Lepine “Life goes on.”
One of the most important pieces of advice for surviving winter in Alberta is dress in layers. The folks at Western Chevrolet were buried in layers, upon layers of coats, mitts, toques, and boots as part of their Coats for Kids campaign. The campaign ends today after which time the items will
be donated to the Drumheller Salvation Army. Mike Bell (left), Jordan Britton, Doug Lubinski, and Pat Mohan were almost buried in winter wear thanks to the generousity of Drumheller residents. inSide photo by Michael James

Youth Justice gets boost from Province
The Province gave Youth Justice Committees across Alberta a hand last week. The Drumheller and Hanna Youth Justice programs received $1,500 and $1,000, respectively, to use to train volunteers and help give youth in trouble with the law a second chance. The committees work with youth to find ways to teach a lesson and ensure they are not burdened by a criminal record. inSide photo by Michael James
Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Youth Justice Committees around Alberta recently got a boost from the Alberta Government. The Drumheller Committee received $1,500 and the Hanna Committee $1,000. The money will be used to help train volunteers so they may better
help youth on the wrong side of the law atone and avoid getting stuck with a criminal record. One of the ways the Drumheller Committee trains is to see how things are done in Calgary. “We like to have our volunteers sit in a meeting of the Calgary Youth Justice to see and learn how they do things,” said Drumheller Committee
member Amy Jopp. The Drumheller Youth Justice started over a year ago. The committee meets with youth who have been charged with a crime and have admitted their guilt. Committee members learn the details of the crime, why the youth did what they did, and then determine a meaningful punishment. “We get referrals when there is a youth with a criminal record. We review the file to see why they got a criminal record and what we feel is fitting for them to do to have it removed. They have to admit doing the crime and explain their side. Then, we give them sanctions,” said Jopp. “When they complete it, they get a letter they take back to court and the criminal record is removed.” For the youth, completing their assignment, which can be as simple as writing an essay or making restitution, can make a huge difference later in life. A criminal record can prohibit travel and limit what jobs are available. The opportunity to have their criminal record wiped clean is a one time shot. Those who failed or
committed another crime are not eligible to participate. So far, the committee has met with 14 youths, 12 of whom have passed. Those who fail the program are sent back to the courts. The committee could always use more volunteers. It can be difficult to get three members together to meet with youth and more members offer more skills and perspectives. There are currently nine members of the Drumheller Youth Justice. To get involved, contact Jopp at 403-334-0897 for Drumheller and Joe Schnurer at 403-854-2770 for Hanna.

One of the oldest churches in Drumheller is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, St. Magloire’s will be holding a special service on Sunday, October 28, followed by a catered lunch. However, that’s not all the St. Magloire’s congregation has been doing to commemorate their centennial year. Each month the congregation chose a centennial project, which over the past year has benefitted

groups such as the Drumheller and District Humane Society, Drumheller Public Library, Salvation Army, Women’s Shelter, the Special Olympics, and more. “We chose to turn it [the centennial] around. Rather than make it about us, we wanted to turn it outwards instead,” said Gisela Sorge, St. Magloire’s congregation member. “We wanted to be able to look back and say we gave to our community. That is our way of celebrating.” The centennial year culminates in a Eucharistic service lead by the new bishop of the Calgary Diocese, the Reverend Greg Kerr Wilson on Sunday, October 28. That will be followed by a meal for those in attendance. During the meal, there will be entertainment, including a harpist, and then a slide show about the church will be shown. St. Magloire’s Anglican Church has been a presence in the Drumheller Valley for 100 years as of this year. The church originally started in Munson on November 11, 1911. Services were conducted by Reverend Morgan, and he served Munson, Rumsey, and Drumheller.
QUOTE
centennial year
inSide Drumheller | inSideDrumheller.com
“We chose to turn it [the centennial] around. Rather than make it about us, we wanted to turn it outwards instead.” Gisela Sorge
The name of the church was derived through a group of men arriving from the Channel Islands in Britain. They insisted on the name St. Magloire’s, who is reputed to have lived in poverty, eating nothing but barley bread and a few vegetables. In 1912 a new church building was constructed in Drumheller. The first official records started soon after on January 12, 1913. The first recorded congregation had 16 in attendance. The church was officially dedicated on August 15, 1915. In December, 1952, the original church was replaced with the present building. The cornerstone was laid by Bishop Calvert on May 25, 1955, and the building was consecrated on November 3, 1957. St. Magloire’s, in its long history, has seen the major events of the valley. The Spanish Flu pandemic hit Drumheller in 1918 and the situation was dire. Drumheller had no hospital and it was Reverend R. Brant—who replaced Reverend Knight—and a few others that helped to transform the school into a clean and comfortable hospital. The church fell on hard times after World War I, but was going strong by World War II. Over the years, the church played a pivotal role in the social fabric of Drumheller. “The Anglican in Church Drumheller has experienced and survived the history of the valley. The flu epidemic took some members in 1918. The numbers of the church waxed and waned like the population of Drumheller,” said Sorge. The centennial service will be held on October 28 at St. Magloire’s Church on 2nd Street West and 2nd Avenue.
From the regular meeting of Town Council
October 9, 2012 • • • • • • Mayor Terry Yemen opened the meeting by proclaiming October as Breast Cancer Awareness month for Drumheller. Mayor Yemen also took the opportunity to congratulate Councillor Sharel Shoff on receiving a Certificate of Achievement for the Elected Officials Education Program at the recent Alberta Urban Municipal Association (AUMA) meeting. Mayor Yemen informed council he will heading to the Ukraine as part of the CanaDem mission to observe their elections. • • • • • • A public hearing was held in regards to Bylaw 14.12, which proposes closing a portion of a public walkway in East Coulee and to sell or hold the land. A written correspondence was read, in which it was asked that the wording of the bylaw be changed slightly, expressed some concern the walkway was only one of three entry points to the river, and asked affected residents (some of whom don't reside in East Coulee year round) be informed through the mail. Dan Gerlinger, who wishes to purchase the land, expressed the removed portion would not affect the walkway and he has discussed the matter with his neighbours. Margaret English, an East Coulee resident, worried about erosion of the banks and requested the drainage be kept clear. She also wanted to make sure the walkway could still be used as such were the portion in question removed. CAO Ray Romanetz said the Town had looked at the proposal in detail and felt the changes are not significant. The proposal will be sent to the provincial government for approval before second and third readings can be done. • • • • • • Director of Infrastructure Services Allan Kendrick presented a request for decision on purchasing the Town's supply of crushed gravel. It was recommended the Town purchase a 5 year supply of gravel from McNair Sand & Gravel Ltd. for $298,200. Council carried the motion unanimously. • • • • • • Bill Wulff, Acting Director of Corporate Services presented a request for decision regarding the Town's tax recovery public auction. Wulff requested direction on how to set the reserve bid price for each property. Council agreed to set the price based on the property assessment value. The auction is scheduled for January 25, 2013. • • • • • • Paul Salvatore, Director of Community Services, asked for a decision on changing the Town's recreational facilities definition of family to that used by the Government of Canada. Councillor Jay Garbutt suggested families who have paid for extra dependents be refunded. Councillor Andrew Berdahl was concerned the new definition would be just as restrictive and worried about the secondary impacts of using the proposed definition. His main concern was families that don't reside together would be left out. Councillor Garbutt replied he felt that was not the intent of the change and that the new definition is meant to be more inclusive. The motion to change the definition of family was carried with Councillor Berdahl opposed. • • • • • • Mayor Yemen, Councillor Tom Zariski, and Councillor Garbutt gave brief reports on the recent AUMA meeting. A highlight for Mayor Yemen and Councillor Garbutt was it gave an opportunity to lobby for an additional RCMP member for the Drumheller Institution. • • • • • • Mayor Yemen spoke briefly about meeting Alberta Finance Minister Doug Horner on Tuesday and encouraged residents to visit www.dollarsandsense.ab.ca. • • • • • •

While the Christmas play at Rosebud Theatre changes annually, the experience of visiting the artsy hamlet remains as timeless as ever. This year’s homegrown Christmas musical May and Joe is a love story that asks each of us: ‘If miracles exist, could one happen to me?’ “May (Lauren DeGraaf ) and Joe (Aaron Krogman) are ush with young and innocent
music.� In May and Joe, an Angel, reawakened after 2000 years by the innocent love between young unmarried May and Joe, brings an unexpected miracle gift that causes their blossoming relationship to whither. Fastforward to Christmas Eve and May and Joe are on the longest road trip imaginable, from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay, Ontario in a snow storm. May is expecting, and the baby isn’t Joe’s.

how is a person expected to believe something like that? Angel rides along in their pickup truck, unseen by Joe, blurred from May’s eyes by swirling snow. It was easier 2000 years ago. Joseph believed. But Joe ... well, he believes in anything
but angels and wise men. So, Angel waits for Joe’s eyes to open to dreams and miracles, and when they do, he’ll be there with a Hallelujah Chorus of music. This Rosebud original musical reveals that the simplest Christmas miracle of all is well within our reach. May and Joe runs from November 2 to December 22.

inSideHappenings DAYTIME EVENTS
Veterans in Canada will be honoured in a brand new way on Remembrance Day of this year. The Royal Canadian Legion is building a Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance to honour all deceased veterans in Canada. The Virtual Wall will be unveiled during the National Remembrance Day Ceremony, organized by the Legion. Large screens will display the Virtual Wall prior to the start of the actual ceremony and in ceremonies in the years to come.

Drumheller celebrates Small Business Week Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
October 14-20 is Small Businesses Week and in Drumheller there is a full slate of events planned. This is the 33rd annual Small Business Week and the theme this year is “Aim High! Invest in Your Future.” “Entrepreneurs across Canada are aiming high—investing to build better, more competitive businesses,” according to the Small Business Week website. “To grow, they need the right people, technology and business skills to beat the competition both here and abroad. BDC Small Business Week™ 2012 is about sharing stories of success and helpful, practical advice on how to succeed with those who are ambitious for their companies.” Drumheller will be a busy place this week with a number of events planned to celebrate small business, bring awareness to the role small business plays in the community, and
learn about what is offered. The week kicks off with an open house at the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce Office. This is a chance to enjoy a coffee and pastry and network with members of the board and staff. This is a great opportunity for members and non-members to get reacquainted with the Chamber of Commerce and how it serves its members and the community. On Wednesday morning, David Papp will be the featured speaker at Breakfast Before Business. He is one of Canada’s leading authorities on IT and will be making a presentation on using social media to augment your business and create a buzz. Breakfast Before Business is 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. at Canalta Hotel’s Cretaceous Conference Centre. On Friday the success of local businesses will be celebrated at the Badlands Community Facility. The Drumheller and
District Chamber of Commerce is hosting its Business Excellence Award. Once celebrated along with the Rotary Club’s Celebration of Excellence, the award program has taken a bit of a hiatus. This is back at a business luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Awards will be presented in five categories including Business of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Rookie Business of the Year, Downtown Business of the Year and Business Professional of the Year. The selection committee received over 30 nominations.
BDC Small Business Week™ 2012 is about sharing stories of success and helpful, practical advice on how to succeed with those who are ambitious for their companies.
It is my pleasure to honour all small business owners for all of their hard work and commitment in their business and to the community. Thanks

Finalists named for Business Excellence Awards Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce will be recognizing some of Drumheller’s business leaders as part of Small Business Week. The finalists for the Business Excellence Awards were announced on Wednesday. The awards will be handed out on October 19. The Chamber asked area residents to give them a hand by nominating business they felt were doing a great job.
Over 30 nominations were received, with some businesses receiving multiple nominations. “On behalf of the Drumheller & District Chamber of Commerce, we would like to congratulate all of the nominees and we look forward to announcing the award recipients on Friday, October 19. As a Chamber of Commerce, we believe it is important to recognize businesses and individuals in the community for their efforts. Presenting the Business Excellence Awards during Small Busi-
ness Week is a perfect way to celebrate business in our community,” said Heather Bitz, general manager of the Drumheller Chamber. The Chamber Board of Directors met Wednesday morning and named the three finalists for each award category. In the Small Business of the Year category, the finalists were Bits & Pieces Keepsake Quilting, Numberz Accounting, and Signature Bookkeeping. For the Business of the Year, Heartwood Inn & Spa, Hi-Way 9 Express, and
Western Chevrolet were named this year’s finalists. The finalists in the Downtown Business of the Year category were Chinook Credit Union, Reality Bytes, and Sports Room Source for Sports. The newest businesses in town are also being recognized. The Rookie of the Year finalists are Country Road RV, Dry Canyon Collectables, and Sublime Food & Wine. Last, but not least, are the Business Professionals of the Year, recognized for their commitment to the
business community and community at large. Trevor Gough, John Shoff, and Connie Tremblay are this year’s finalists. This will be the first time in roughly six years that the business awards will be handed out in Drumheller. The Chamber of Commerce brought the awards back after the hiatus, because there were no such awards being given and they wanted to celebrate the achievements of Drumheller businesses. The award winners in each category will be announced on October 19.

Small Business Branding your business Building a brand is essential for small businesses hoping to thrive in a competitive business market. Because consumers are still pinching pennies and looking to stretch every dollar, today’s market is as competitive as ever, but a brand can be used to effectively explain to potential customers what you and your products provide as well as how you and your products differ from those offered by competitors.
When building a brand, one of the first things a small business owner must do is define his or her brand. Defining a brand is essential, but it isn’t always easy. The following are a few tips to help small business owners define their brand. * Understand and explain your mission. Small business owners clearly want to make money, but the mission of your company should go beyond padding your bank account. This mission should define the company’s reason for being. Try to write why the company exists in a few short sentences, and then ask others in the company to do the same. For example, if your com-

pany is making an ecofriendly alternative to a popular product, then explain that your mission is to provide consumers with eco-friendly alternatives to traditional products. Explain your philosophy and keep in mind that your mission might change as your company evolves. * Explain why your product is beneficial. Another step to defining a brand is to explain why it’s necessary. This includes describing the your company’s product’s features and services provided. You want to separate your product and your company from its competitors, so be as specific as possible.

* Know your customers. It helps to know who your customers are and what they want. Thanks to the Internet, customer feedback and consumer opinion is now easier to attain than ever before. While direct feedback on your product is beneficial, you can also visit online forums in which consumers discuss their experiences, both good and bad, with other products and other companies. Use that information to your advantage, and never assume you know what your customers want. Understanding your customers is an ongoing process, as their needs and wants are likely to evolve over time.
INVEST INNOVATE GROW
Stay on top of knowing what your customers want so you can continue to meet those needs. * Think about what you want your company’s reputation to be. Branding also involves managing your company’s reputation. You want existing customers to react positively when thinking about you, your company and your products. Courteous, attentive and professional customer service goes a long way, as does adhering to your company’s mission. You not only want customers to be return customers, but you also want them to speak positively of you to their friends and family.
* Seek help. Defining a brand isn’t easy, and if you’re struggling to turn a great product into a successful brand, then don’t be afraid to seek help. Many communities recognize the important role small businesses play in a local economy, and such communities routinely host small business forums and discussions aimed at helping small business owners thrive. In addition, seek advice from established small business owners in your area, who might be able to share both their good and bad experiences and help you avoid certain mistakes they made when starting out.

Christine Vaier (left) and Dale Murphy of Stony Plain were heading back home from Calgary, but decided to stop in Drumheller on the way. The two spent some time on Monday sitting by the river, using the badlands as inspiration for painting.

Yemen selected to observe Ukraine elections Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Mayor Terry Yemen has an opportunity to serve in an international capacity, safeguarding democracy in the Ukraine. Yemen has been selected as a short-term observer for the 2012 Ukraine Parliamentary Elections. Citizen of the Ukraine go to the polls on October 28. Yemen will be part of the CANADEM Mission. According to briefing materials, Canadian observers will be stationed in locations that
would benefit from independent validation that the voting process is free and fair. They will also be in locations where there is a legitimate concern about voting irregularities. CANADEM is a nongovernment organization that promotes democracy through activities such as observing elections. In the last 10 years it has deployed more than 4,500 observers to points around the world. CANADEM was requested by the Canadian Government to observe this Ukrainian election.
This is a short-term mission for Yemen. He will be first heading to Ottawa for a briefing on October 18. This is a large mission with in the area of 500 observers. On October 19, mission staff will be arriving in Kiev. They will return home November 1. CANADEM describes the experience as rewarding, but a lot of work. It says volunteers can expect to put in one or more 24-hour –plus days. Accommodation will be simple, and in some instances there could be security risks. Election observers are expected to maintain impar-
tiality throughout the whole process. They are not to interfere with the election process, polling day procedures or the vote counting. According to CANADEM, observers may wish to bring irregularities to the attention of local officials but must never instruct an official or go against decisions of elections officials. They will participated in a post-election debriefing and base conclusions on well-documented verifiable evidence.

Drumheller councillor recognized at AUMA meeting Michael James | inSide Drumheller
One of Drumheller’s elected officials has just been recognized for her dedication to improving her abilities as a town councillor. Councillor Sharel Shoff, while attending the Alberta Urban Municipal Association (AUMA) meeting last week, was given the prestigious Certificate of Achievement for the Elected Officials Education Program. “I want to be a better councillor, that’s why I took the courses,” said Shoff.
Shoff was recognized along with four other municipal elected officials at the President’s Reception at the AUMA meeting. The program aims to teach councillors, reeves, and mayors about municipal governance and broaden their knowledge and skills. The courses cover a wide variety of subjects, from human resource planning to communications to ethics. “For the last five years, I’ve taken courses on things like municipal finance, government, and infrastructure,” said Shoff. “It’s really worth
it. It gives you good insight into municipal government. You can learn whether your town is on the right track or not.” To be awarded, participants must complete a total of eight courses. Shoff explained the time commitment was high, which results in only a few people graduating. “There are very few people who take the courses, because it takes quite a bit of time,” said Shoff. “I’m the only Drumheller councillor to finish so far.”

A judge found it plausible that a half-pound of marijuana could be for personal use for a heavy user entering a secluded work camp. Drumheller man, Sheldon White, was found guilty of simple possession of marijuana at trial at the Drumheller Court house on October 3. However he was found not guilty of the more serious charge of possession for the purposes of trafficking. The court heard evidence from Constable Robert Harms of the Three Hills RCMP detachment. Early in the evening of October 31, 2011, RCMP stopped a car driven by White after police observed it speeding and that the licensee plate was not illuminated. There

were two in the vehicle. White presented the officer with a notice of suspension and an expired insurance card. White admitted to having beer in a cooler in the car and Harms said he noted the smell of fresh marijuana. A search of the vehicle reveled a roach, a bag containing 237 grams of marijuana, beer, and a small plastic package with traces of cocaine. There was also bear spray, a digital scale and Ziploc baggies in a back pack and strewn about the car. Constable Robert Reynolds of the RCMP, who was allowed to give expert testimony, indicated the amount of marijuana, the presence of the baggies, scale and bear spray all indicated it was a commercial, drug operation. White testified that he is now six months sober, but at the time he was a heavy marijuana user. He had just bought the package of marijuana as he was preparing to go back to a work camp near Go for the
Red Box
Whitecourt. He indicated the baggies were bought for him to make lunches with, and he also used them and his scale to measure out portions of marijuana each day. The baggies were strewn about after he was arrested for an impaired driving charge previous to this stop. He said at time the had been in camp for more than two months at a time, and during this time workers are not able to come and go. He does not share or sell cannabis and it would take him about two and half months to finish off the bag. He said a half-pound is a fairly normal amount of drugs to bring into a camp. As for the cocaine, he said at the time he no longer used cocaine and was unaware of the package. The police did not weigh the cocaine. Judge Shriar found White not guilty of possession of cocaine. She also found it credible that he bought that much marijuana for personal use. This raised a doubt as to the charge of possession for the purposes of trafficking. White was fined $1,500 for the possession of marijuana charge plus a victim fine surcharge of $225. He was also placed on probation for a year with the direction that it not interfere with his work.

“Family� redefined to make fitness more inclusive Michael James | inSide Drumheller
A decision by Town Council on October 9 aims to make the Badlands Community Facility and Aquaplex more accessible to Drumheller families. At the meeting, a request for decision was presented by the Director of Community Services, Paul Salvatore, asking that the Town amend their deďŹ nition of ‘family’. The working deďŹ nition used until now was two adults and their two children, or one adult
and their three children. Family memberships were capped at four people per family. Any additional children were required to pay as an additional dependant. The deďŹ nition was felt to be too restrictive. “When we did our price reviews, we decided to change it. Some concerns had been brought forward. We had some feedback for quite awhile, so we went back and did some research,â€? said Guy Latour, business manager of the Badlands Community Facility. Salvatore hopes the

new deďŹ nition will make family memberships more accessible for larger families. “It’s about making sure a family of varying shapes and sizes can be included. In some cases, we’ll have larger families greatly beneďŹ t. We didn’t want to have a scenario where family members are excluded from family ďŹ tness,â€? said Salvatore. The old deďŹ nition was in use at the Aquaplex prior to the Community Facility being built. “There was a working deďŹ nition we used when were just operating the pool. It had been loosely in place for 20 plus years,â€? said Salvatore. “It was based on a number, rather than a family more loosely deďŹ ned.â€? At the time of the change, six families had paid for extra dependents. Those families will be given a credit on future recreation transactions, such as renewing a membership or sign up for a ďŹ tness pro-

The proper use of occupant restraints signiďŹ cantly decreases the severity of injuries sustained as a result of motor vehicle collisions. Research and collision investigations indicate that the use of seatbelts increase the chances of survival in a collision by up to 50 percent. According to Transport Canada, almost 40 percent of drivers and passengers killed in collisions were not restrained at the time of the crash. Alberta has been quite successful over recent years with restraint compliance. According to the Alberta Occupant Restraint Program, seatbelt usage is around 95% in our province. However, we continue to see far too many collisions involving fatalities or seriously injured victims who were not belted in when the collision took place. The Integrated TraďŹƒc Service of Alberta, comprised of RCMP and TraďŹƒc Sheris, work tirelessly to get this message out to motorists; however, during the month of October we are going to pay special attention to this important issue. Seat belts are proven to save lives. If you are not wearing yours, the chance of dying in a vehicle is signiďŹ cantly higher. Even at 40 kilometers per hour, if you are in a collision, the chances of serious injury and/or death is signiďŹ cant. It would equal falling o a 4 story building! Seatbelts are the single most cost eective life saving device we have to protect us in a motor vehicle collision. Don’t you owe it to your family and friends to take every precaution available to you to stay safe? TraďŹƒc oďŹƒcers are going to be highly visible on the streets and highways targeting drivers and passengers not complying with seatbelt laws. Avoid the $115.00 ticket and buckle up. It takes seconds to buckle up and a lifetime to make up for a loss!

Senior Titans regroup for league play Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller The Senior Titans continue to learn tough lessons as they march towards the post season. Last week the Titans were under Friday night lights in Brooks and were dealt a blow. Brooks are currently ranked ninth at the Tier 3 level and were led by an impressive quarterback. The Titans at times seemed not ready for Brooks. “Our biggest downfall was we fumbled the ball
five times and they recovered them,” said head coach Ken Fournier. “That’s five turnovers and they capitalized on all of them. You can’t win against very many teams when you hand them the ball.” Despite this, he said the Titans were actually moving the ball quite well, but ball protection was lacking. On defense the Titans were simply a step behind, missing tackles. Brooks’ quarterback could advance the ball in the air or scramble for yards. They took a 35-22 win.
The Titans have a skinny league schedule with only two other teams, and made a concerted effort to arrange games with more competitive teams that play at higher levels. It has been a mixed blessing. It has allowed the Titans to identify their weaknesses, but at the same time it appears they may have stalled some motivation. “I think it is complacency on the part of the players, I think they took these exhibition games a lot lighter than they should have. These are games where you

are supposed to improve and work on everything against tough opponents and really show what you can do,” said Fournier. “We did the right thing by picking the right opponents, it is just unfortunate we didn’t capitalize on the opportunities while they were there. It is a lesson these guys are going to have to learn before provincials if we make it there, because it is going to be a battle.” He said Justin Schinnour was a standout on defense versus Brooks. “He played really well for the defense, and offensively Josh Weeteringen had a really good game,” said Fournier. The Titans continue league play this weekend as they travel to Canmore to play Bow Valley. They are back home on October 20 to play Olds.

Bantams set sights on Hunting HIlls Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Bantam Titans were caught off guard by a strong Strathmore team last Saturday, but are in good shape heading down the stretch of the season. The Titans were in Strathmore to take on the Spartans. Going in to the game, coach Paul Redmond felt the teams were evenly matched, but Strathmore was the better team on this day. With a strong offense and the ability to capi-
talize on seven fumbles, Strathmore ran away with a 32-0 win. “They were a lot stronger this year,” said Redmond explaining Strathmore came out fighting, and the Titans couldn’t match their offense. The shell-shocked Titans regrouped and defensively, they played really well in the second half. In fact all of Strathmore’s points came in the first. “We shut them down completely,” said Redmond. “They have a pretty good team, and
With
had good size too. They got it together, that’s for sure.” This seems to have been the case this season. Redmond said there is good parity in the league leading to some competitive matches and some even records. Lindsay Thurber of Red Deer is still undefeated, and there are a couple teams on the lower end of the scale. Most however are in the middle of the pack battling it out.” “Other than those few teams we are all log jammed,” said Redmond
Nigel Lawrence & Chris Gordon
of the Titans 2-3 record. The Titans will finish league play this weekend by traveling to Red Deer to play Hunting Hills School. They are expected to be a strong opponent. Redmond explains whether they win or lose, the Titans will hold on to a spot in the tier four playoffs. “We are still in the driver’s seat for playoffs, we’ll have home field advantage all the way through,” said Redmond. We just have to keep winning.”
