The Town of Grenfell is seeking input regarding transit bus service in the community. Last week, the town began surveying residents in an effort to ensure that the bus is available when people need it. Offi- cials also hope to expand the demographic that uses the service. In 2018, the town purchased a new transit van, which can accommodate up to six children plus one adult, or seven adults and two wheelchairs. The cost ELAINE ASHFIELD | HERALD SUN of the bus was covered by a $55,000 grant from the 1HZRIÀFH federal government and $34,000 raised by the commu- 6KHUU\0LVNLPDQHQMR\VWKHQHZIURQWRIÀFHDUHDDW:KLWHZRRG6FKRROZKLFKLVQRZORFDWHGMXVWLQVLGH nity through various fundraisers.

Until January 27, residents can com- plete an online survey through the town’s Facebook site or contact Nicholl at the Town Office to share whether bus service is useful for them and when School renovations continue they would be most likely to ride the bus. The survey was prompted by a decline in ridership, due to the Walls for new classrooms go up at Whitewood School; Grenfell Pioneer Home closing and other riders mov- ing out of town. new offices and staffroom now completed “We’re really trying to gauge community interest and what their needs are,” Nicholl stated. “It’s an By Elaine Ashfield completely done, we will centre school build- $10,000 by Easter. amenity to the community and we are fortunate to Grasslands News likely have an ‘open ing have impacted the Donations can be made have it, so we want to make the most of the service.” house’ of sorts where playground areas at the by cheque, etransfer or in She emphasized that the municipally owned bus Construction contin- people can stop by and school so a new design is person at the school.

Ochap Thunder destroy Hudson Bay Hunters Outscore 33-8 in two games

By Chris Ashfield Grasslands News

The Ochapowace Thunder are now within one point of the first place Bredenbury Cougars in the Triangle Hockey League’ (THL) standings after the team saw a dominating weekend performance over the Hudson Bay Hunters. Ochapowace hosted Hudson Bay for back-to-back games on Jan. 18 and 19 where the Hunters found themselves peppered with goal after goal in both matches. By the time the smoke cleared Sunday after- noon, Hudson Bay had 33 goals scored against them while the Thunder held goals against them to eight. During the first game Saturday evening, the Thun- der dominated the Hunters 16-6. Clint Lomenda, Kon- rad McKay and Brandon Pelletier all had seven points with Lomenda scoring three and McKay and Pelletier counting two. Kirk Bear had two as well and Anthony Kinistino ended up with a hat trick. Dennis Peepeetch, Trey Bear, Valdez Bear, and Leland Wasacase rounded out the scoring. It spoiled a great game by Cody Chasse, who was in on all Hudson Bay goals scored over the weekend, as he had three goals and three assists in this one. Devon Tobacco had two and Tyler Grove one.

The Wolseley Mustangs went into last weekend in first place in the QVJHL but had back-to-back games that would challenge that position. Lumsden Jax were at the Sportsplex on Friday, and the Mustangs would travel to Yellowgrass on Saturday. The last-place Jax weren’t supposed to challenge Wolseley, but the game ended with a 3-2 win for the home team. Likely the most significant play of the game was ten minutes into the first period when Tyler Pryhitka and Dallas Schutz came to the defense of their goalie, affiliated player Braden Lutz, who was slashed in his crease. The two fights that resulted took two of the Mustangs best blue-liners out of the game, and worse, earned a three-game suspension for Schutz for being in a second fight in the same stoppage. Wolseley held a 2-1 lead after twenty minutes, but Lumsden pulled even halfway through the second. The eventual game-winner was potted, not only short- handed but unassisted, in the last minute of the second by Rylan Bechard. While the third period was score- less, the Mustangs started to find some consistency in their team play, and although they had some good STEPHEN SCRIVER | HERALD SUN chances (including a resounding goalpost DING by Mustangs unstoppable Sincere Toto), didn’t dent the twine.

Blake Nicholson and Cam Maier scored the other Wolseley goals, while Wade Roppel and Dustin Coderre each had two assists.
