Frustrations and outrage soared among a local parish and a
developer who find themselves at a deadlock after town council
imposed a 120-day freeze on actions surrounding the removal of
the former St. Michael and All Angels Anglican Church – a move
that hopes to preserve the historic significance for the Wheatland and District Historical Society (WDHS) despite the building
having been sold to a third party.
Last year, after an unconditional offer was accepted for a developer, who asked to remain anonymous, to purchase six lots
on Oct. 1, 2015 with a term of the purchase contract that the
church building be removed, the society was offered to purchase the 106-year-old building for $1; money the parish said
was never paid and with a written agreement never established.
The society then began scouting possible new locations and
received $5,000 from a local event to cover part of the removal
costs. Upon resistance from the community to move the church
to Lambert Village and with information stating that the structure would lose its eligibility for certain grants if moved from its
original location, the society sought council’s approval to designate the property a Municipal Historic Resource. Following a
Statement on Significance presented to council on Jan. 13, the
council initiated the first step in the process of designation by
sending a letter to the registered property owner to notify them
of their intent ensuring the property and building cannot be
altered for 120 days – tying the hands of the developer and the
parish from moving forward with their proposed plans. Furthermore, without payment of the $1, the church was sold to a third
party prior, confirmed the legal representation for the diocese
Peter Crisfield.
“It frustrates me, and I don’t understand how a society that
had the opportunity to purchase the building and purchase the
land beforehand chose not to… and instead they decided to
circumvent the system and go directly to council,” said the developer.
“It’s inconceivable what’s happening at this point. I have had
an opportunity to review the online council meetings and in
the Nov. 18, 2015 meeting one of the council members (Denise
Peterson) is quoted as saying that she and the mayor sit on
the WDHS. I believe this is a severe conflict of interest as they
should have removed themselves from all of the meetings and
subsequent votes. During the last council meeting the WDHS
and the town were the only groups that had representation. The
parish was not even notified. A fairly significant vote was taken
and two of the five voting members have a conflict with the
WDHS and their affiliation to it.”
The Western and District Historical Society had requested to
be put on the agenda for Jan. 13 and the presentation was not
initiated by administration.
According to CAO Dwight Stanford and Deputy CAO Linda
Nelson with the town, the two council members are only representing the board they sit on and without financial interests,
stating that it’s not a conflict of interest therefore. Stanford also
said administration had heard rumours about the sale of the
church to a third party but had never seen any official paperwork.

Children festival expecting to make comeback
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
A lack of sponsors regrettably shelved
the Strathmore Children’s Festival for
2015, but organizers are expecting a resurgence this year with some assistance
from the community, an enlivened theme,
and a profusion of fresh ideas to ensure a
successful event.
The event, which officially made its
mark in Strathmore in 2012, will focus on
encouraging children to play through active use of creativity, imagination, social
development, communication, and thinking skills, reflective of this year’s theme;
Back to Basics.
The organizers have already tentatively booked Reptile Parties that were
present when the festival launched four
years ago, and are taking on a different
approach to include local resources by
offering free spots in the festival in exchange for an activity or entertainment.
“The whole point of the festival this
year is to show kids that they can have
fun without computer, without laptops,
without video games,” said Event Organizer Marci Hira.
“It’s trying to go back to basics of
physical play, learning, and education. I
think this will really help promote what
we have in town. I’m kind of just testing
the waters this year to see how thing go,
because if things go well this year, I have
so many plans for next year.”
Hira introduced herself to the community with the Superhero Clean-up last
year, and was asked to take over the organization of the Strathmore Children’s
Festival shortly after she offered to volunteer. While she has already received
some feedback and secured some donations, an expected $3,000 to $5,000 are
required to secure Reptile Parties and
services including face painting, a magician, and balloon animals. As over 500
children attended the event in 2014, the
festival is expecting to attract more than
1,000 this year. Hira is organizing such
activities as a bouncy castle, piñata, art
and craft stations, info booths, obstacle
course, a petting zoo, and yoga, and is
targeting agencies such as ParentLink,
5 for Life, the Strathmore Municipal Library, KidsU, Macaroni Kid and Pranava
Yoga.
Donations made, whether monetary or
food items, are also expected to provide
funds to Fuel for Schools - a program
that provides breakfasts to Strathmore
schools - the Youth Club, and the Wheatland County Food Bank Society.
To guarantee a successful event and
available funds for the local programs,
however, the organizers are still in need
of approximately 10 more volunteers and
donations for goodie bags for the first
100 families, and door prizes.
While Hira is busy bringing her ideas
to life, she is already dreaming big for
next year, when she hopes to bring an
aerial circus to Strathmore, dependent on
this year’s outcome. Anyone wishing to
sponsor, donate, or volunteer can contact
Hira at 587-897-2193. The event is free
to attend but the public is encouraged to
bring food donations for the food bank.
The Strathmore Children Festival will
take place on April 9 at the Strathmore
Civic Centre from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Over $400,000 to rebuild primary clarifier
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
The Strathmore Town Council is shelling out nearly half a million dollars to
fast-track a rebuild on the primary clarifier at the wastewater treatment plant,
after a former decision to cover the
concrete tank hastened corrosion and
prevented routine maintenance to the
mechanism.
The primary clarifier, a settling tank
built with mechanical means for continuous removal of solids and floating materials, had originally been scheduled for a
full refurbishment in 2017, but was rendered inoperable in November of 2015.
As a result of severe corrosion and lack
of regular maintenance, the engineering
department deemed to have been caused
by the mechanism enclosure in a cover,
the clarifier mechanism failed.
“[Epcor] is recommending that it gets
fixed right away,” said Bryce Mackan,
acting director of engineering for the
Town of Strathmore.
“We’ve gone through the books and
the process and it seems that the original
plan design may not have had the covers
as part of the original design. It might
have been brought up during the design
phase or early construction phase that it
might be needed.”
According to Mackan, full details regarding the installation of the cover have
so far been unavailable and efforts to
gain such information from the original
staff at the time have gone unanswered.
Following Councillor Pat Fule’s question on why the cover was installed in
the first place, Mackan informed council
that the cover was installed to prevent
odours from wafting out of the tank – a
problem he said hasn’t become an issue
within other communities.
Since the mechanism failed in November of last year, Epcor proceeded to remove some of the cover, drain the tank,
and inspect the unit. Epcor concluded
the scope would entail the removal of
the cover, as a covered clarifier usually contains an exhaust system to withdraw the air to a gas scrubber system
so the corrosive and odorous gases can
be treated. Rebuild the corroded mechanism, build a new walkway for access
to the mechanism for routine inspection
and maintenance, and lastly re-surface
the corroded mechanism to prevent further corrosion and damage to the mechanism.
According to the town’s engineering
department, Epcor has by-passed the
process unit - a critical unit as the large
concrete tank continuously removes materials from the waste water – with no
adverse effects on the effluent quality
standards, owing to the treatment plant’s
additional designed capacity. However,
operational efficiency for Epcor was affected and additional chemical costs
incurred to mitigate the lack of primary treatment. Epcor therefore assured
the town that shutting down the clari-
fier would have negative effects, including sludge settlement in downstream
process units which require additional
maintenance and increased chemical
consumption to compensate for the volatile fatty acids (VFA) production.
Councillor Bob Sobol also questioned
the action of replacing the unit rather
than rebuilding the unit.
“We did ask Epcor about replacing the
unit with a brand new drive mechanism,
and with rough estimates they have one
planned in 2020 just for the mechanism
itself and they’re budgeting approximately $560,000 for that project,” Mackan said. “If you look back at the actual
list, the actual rebuilding of the clarifier
drive mechanism, will actually work out
between $120,000 to $150,000. So it’s
quite a substantial difference.”
The estimated cost approval involves
a completed primary inspection conducted in November 2015 for $50,000,
the removal of the roof at over $65,000,
construction of a walkway at more than
$87,000, rebuild drive/mechanism at
$65,500, and resurfacing mechanism at
over $65,500. The estimate also included
a 10 per cent Epcor management fee and
a 20 per cent contingency.
Strathmore town council voted in favour of allocating up to $430,000 from
MSI funding for the rebuild of the primary clarifier equipment. Councillor Brad
Walls and Councillor Steve Grajczyk
were absent during the Jan. 13 regular
council meeting.

In Australia, researchers are using smartphone
texting as a way of helping people reduce their
cholesterol, blood pressure and weight. Participants
received four texts per week for six months. The
texts contained motivational information on exercise
and diet…like “Don’t forget, physical activity is
good for you!”. Results measured after 6 months
showed that those receiving the texts all reduced the
three measurements significantly.
One of the most significant advances in medicine
over the past decade has been the development of the
human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. The German
virologist, Harald zur Hausen won the Nobel Prize

anti-cancer vaccine and could prevent up to 90% of
cases of cervical cancer. Our pharmacists will be
happy to talk to you about it.

One of the most powerful things you can do for
a friend or relative’s mental health is be a good

120-day freeze of action on 106-year-old church
Continued from Page 1
“I am a member of the WDHS and I
have openly supported their efforts to
preserve the church and at no time have
I relegated the needs of the Anglican
Church to a position less than that of the
town or of WDHS,” said Councillor Peterson in an E-mal to the Strathmore Times.
“I can assert that from my perspective
both the town and the WDHS have been
very respectful and aware of the needs of
the local Church as Rev. Beveridge made
their needs very clear to both parties. I
can further assure you that the WDHS has
been completely open with the diocese
and Rev. Beveridge. I inquired of administration whether I might be in conflict
and was assured I was not. I am certainly
willing to have an opinion in the matter
examined by legal.”
The town had previously directed administration to contact the landowner
and inquire about a figure appropriate
for compensation. However, the developer isn’t interested in compensation and
said after reaching out to the society via
phone and E-mail, they had previously offered a land swap that would require the
society to purchase the land located on
the east side and then trade for the western parcel the church is currently situated
on. While not ideal, the action would still
keep six parcels intact for developmental purposes. According to the developer
no correspondence was received regarding the proposal. Yet during the council
meeting, Mike Marko the acting director
of planning and development, who presented council with information on the
Historical Designation Process, stated
otherwise.
“We have tried to negotiate with the
owner but have been refused,” Marko
said. “They seem determined that they
want the building moved from the site.”
Several years ago, the congregation of
the St. Michael and All Angels Anglican
Church agreed that the best form of action was to sell the land that the church
is located on and use the money to build
a church elsewhere in town. While Pastor Bryan Beveridge said the society was
originally given the option of purchasing
the land and the church, the offer was
never accepted. With a 120-day freeze,
the parish is unable to access funds that
have not yet been exchanged for the sale
of the land, and therefore are unable to
purchase new land and construct a new
church.
“We’ve tried to do something that was
gracious that would give them the building they felt was appropriate and helpful,” said Pastor Beveridge, who said he
was not made aware that the society was
presenting at the regular council meeting.
“I’ve learned in this that apparently the

town can do whatever the town wants to do. It doesn’t matter
there’s a small congregation of older folk who are just desiring
their own place of worship. We offered to the historical society
this building which we see value in, which they see value in.
But you have to move it so we can move forward. Their response ultimately is ‘No, we’ll take your building thank you and
we’ll leave it where it is.’”
While the recent sale of the church to a third party wasn’t
mentioned during the Jan. 13 meeting, council agreed to the
120-day freeze and to advertise the notice of intention, garner
public input, and hold an open house to determine public support for a future bylaw. Councillor Bob Sobol spoke out about
assurance that there will be serious and in-depth efforts for
council to be involved in the consultation process.
Councillor Denise Peterson also said that it should be understood that at no time would the council advocate appropriation
and always would make sure there was compensation.
However, for the developer it’s an open and shut case.
“The shocking part is that they’re clearly missing the fact that
the land has been sold, and they’re putting in jeopardy land
deals with the parish which is involved and are members of the
community that have been completely forgotten in this, and a
developer that wants to build in this community,” the developer
said.
“It aggravates me that they didn’t want to pay the price for
the land and deal with it at the time, but they’re making everybody else pay the price. They were more than willing to move
that church to Lambert Village if it was an option for them. The
residents of this community said not in my backyard, so now
you’re going to force it into mine?”

New Years resolutions to the people
of Strathmore-Brooks
DEREK FILDEBRANDT
MLA Strathmore-Brooks
There’s no question, Alberta’s
economy is seeing some of its
toughest challenges in over a
decade. Plunging global commodity markets and NDP policies that are putting further
stress on our energy sector are
beginning to take a serious toll
on the provincial government’s
bottom line.
Alberta faces a record $9.1
billion consolidated deficit this
year. The result is we are now
borrowing at unprecedented
rates. Alberta’s borrowing has
become so severe that our hardearned AAA credit rating dissolved last month.
In fact, outside of Health,
Education, Post-Secondary and
Human Services, debt-servicing
costs will soon be the most expensive line item across government.
Spending was far above the
national average under the previous government, and has only
skyrocketed to new levels since
the NDP took power.
Wildrose has long warned
that reckless borrowing plans
combined with poor economic policies would only put the
health of Alberta’s economy at
risk. Premier Notley brushed off
these warnings as fear mongering, but it’s why Wildrose has
consistently called for operational spending restraint.
With the now defunct Sustainability Fund almost depleted
and with nearly $17 billion in
debt already, we cannot continue to kick this problem down
the road indefinitely.
Our proposals began with
continuing the freeze on MLA
salaries, but also an-across-thebroad wage freeze for all government of Alberta employees.
This suggestion also was condemned as a “knee-jerk policy
option” by NDP Finance Minister Joe Ceci as late as Jan. 10,
however days later, the minister thankfully reversed himself
when he announced a wage
freeze this week for all nonunionized (mostly management) government employees.
This is a positive first step,
and we shouldn’t hold it against
governments when they change
course in the face of hard realities.
It is still only a first step
though, and mostly symbolic.
The wage freeze for government managers is expected to
save $28.5 million a year, a proverbial drop in the bucket of
the $24.9 billion that the government spends every year on
employee pay and benefits.
Employee pay and benefits
make up half of the government’s consolidated expenses
annually, and so any plan that is
realistic about containing costs
has to consider it seriously.
Right now, many Albertans
have lost their jobs, while many
more fear for losing them. Many
other businesses in Alberta have
asked their staff to take wage
cuts as high as 10 per cent to
stay profitable.
Similarly, Alberta’s government should show serious restraint on salaries and wages.
Let me be clear, this does not
mean any front-line jobs lost. It
will however take all Albertans
to deal with the challenging
economic situation we are facing, and it means making small
sacrifices now before the challenges become much more severe.

Historical society and town council threaten church’s future

Church
With the assistance of
town council, the Western
District Historical Society is
in danger of bringing over
100 years of Anglican presence in Strathmore to an
end.
The newly formed histori-
cal society wants the former
church building and the land
on which it sits. The Anglican parish has already accepted an offer to purchase
the downtown property as a
means to fund construction
of a new worship space.
While the parish was happy to offer the building to
the historical society for one
dollar on the condition it be
moved, the society has now

persuaded town council to prevent any action on the property
for 120 days while it decides
whether to declare the church
and surrounding property a historic site.
In 2012, the Anglican congregation made the decision
to leave their building, already
more than a century old, in need
of a new roof and foundation,
and infested with both flies and
squirrels. It was agreed that it
made more sense to put money
into a building that would carry
the parish into the future.
With that in mind, money was
raised to prepare the property
for sale. To date, the parish has
spent more than $60,000 to remediate asbestos, remove the
church hall and kitchen, and
fill in the hole that was left. The
property was then marketed as
a six lot package, including the
four lots on which the church
and hall had sat, as well as the
property next door which once
served as housing for clergy.
Six downtown lots make an attractive package for developers,
and offers were received and reviewed. An offer was accepted,
one of its conditions being the
removal of the church building.
The Western District Historical Society was informed that
the congregation was accepting
offers, and chose not to make
one. Now that an offer has been
accepted, the society has successfully petitioned town council to prevent any action on the
property.
This action was taken without consulting the parish, or
seemingly considering what the
impact would be. The congregation was not informed that
the matter would be addressed
at town council, nor was it on
the published agenda. No offer of compensation has been
received, either for the land or
for the potential loss of a sale
whose condition has now been
made impossible to fulfil.
The local Anglican congregation is not large. It relies on
the financial contributions of its
members and it was counting
on two equity sources to fund
a new building. Both have now
been put in jeopardy by town
council. The downtown property is a vital source of equity that
has now been frozen. A further
three acres of land the church
owns at the north end of town
has been devalued by being left
out of the area development
plan, rendering it landlocked.
Attempts to address this issue
with the town have been met
with inaction.
A church that has been active
in Strathmore for more than a
century is in danger of losing
its future to those who would
preserve its past. While preserv-
ing history is a laudable goal, it
must not happen at the expense
of this congregation’s future.
Town council and the historical society need to find a way to
ensure that their actions do not
harm the congregation whose
building they hope to save. The
Anglican Church is still here
and it’s not a building.
Local Anglicans care about
the building. For us, it is more
than a landmark; it is the place
where we have worshiped, in
many cases for decades or even
generations. Our members have
memories of baptisms, weddings, funerals, and many special events in the building. We
made every attempt to find a
new owner for the building, including offering it in our local
newspaper and even online in
2012. We were thrilled when the
Western District Historical Society wanted to preserve it and
move it to another location. We
are not pleased that town council now values their interest in
our property above our own.
Town council will undoubtedly be looking for citizen input
before they pass a bylaw declaring the church property a historic site. They can propose the
bylaw in as little as 60 days. I
encourage all citizens to ask the
council not to jeopardize the future of this church as they consider preserving its past.

Community Spotlight: Strathmore Dental
Hygiene/ The Family Dental Clinic
JONATHAN MOORE
SAY Times Contributor
Debbie Tolgyessy, the owner of Strathmore
Dental Hygiene, who also shares the space with
the Family Dental Clinic and the owner Dr. Murai
Khalifa, opened her doors to the public back in
March 2010.
This dental hygiene practice is where many
citizens of the Town of Strathmore go for their
yearly check-up; many have gone to Debbie for
the past 25 years. The practice also offers fillings,
implants, tooth extractions, braces, and much
more.
The family-orientated facility aims at creating
a non-threatening environment for kids to go to.
Tolgyessy is trying to change the way that people view dentistry; the idea of someone poking
around in your mouth with metal tools can be
unnerving, but the atmosphere that is experienced when you walk into the waiting room is
sure to calm you right down.
You are able to kick back and relax with a
cup of coffee while watching ‘The Tonight Show’
with Jimmy Fallon, and when it’s time for your
cleaning, there is never a moment that is void of
laughter.
When asked why she opened up a dental hygiene practice in Strathmore, Tolgyessy stated
that, “This is my town, I love the people in this
town. I still have people who have moved away
from here coming back to me. I love the sense
of commitment that surrounds this community.”
Debbie graduated from the University of Calgary and SAIST in Regina; she is a registered
Dental Hygienist, Restorative Hygienist, and is
certified to administer local anaesthetic. She was
also one of the first Dental Hygienists to own a
free standing dental hygienist clinic, which sort
of makes her a rock star in the hygiene world.
The practice’s goal is to provide their patients
with the highest quality dental work, and help
them keep their smiles for a lifetime.
If you would like to book an appointment or receive more information about this establishment,
you can call 403-983-2001 or e-mail sdh2010@
shaw.ca or drop by and pay them a visit at Bay 2,

Strathmore Musical Arts Society rocks it into 2016
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Ever since he was young, 46-year-old
Lewis Frere wanted to perform songs
played on the radio. When he was 15
years old, his mother and four other siblings formed the Frere band, and since
then he’s been involved in a number of
country, rock ‘n roll, blue grass and folk
bands. Performing in the Strathmore
Musical Arts Society’s first event of the
year, the dance band Bottle Rock It – an
extension of Frere’s family rock ‘n roll
country band – is expecting to bring the
audience to their feet with old time rock
‘n roll popular hits covers such as Sweet
Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd and
Runaway by Del Shannon.

ever since I was younger, and when I

“I’m looking forward to a good turnout and for people to dance. This band,
Bottle Rock It is more of a dance band
because we’re playing all cover tunes.”
The four-piece band is primarily country and rock and performed at
the 15 Minutes of Fame festival, upon
which they were hired for their energy
and stage presence. Although Frere,
who assumed the role of lead singer
and rhythmic guitar, is well known for
his involvement in the folk music duo
Lewis and Royal and the three-member
Wheatland Band, both of which tour,
Bottle Rock It usually performs for oneday events, such as rodeos, cabarets,
and corporate functions.
“This gig in Strathmore is actually
a little unusual, it’s not typical,” Frere
said. “Typically we’re getting hired for
someone’s wedding, or an annual rodeo dance. This in Strathmore, I want
to believe that people are going to treat
it like a community event, and I hope
they get into the spirit and get onto the
dance floor.”
As all four members are originally
from rural areas, including Trochu,
Drumheller, and Airdrie, they are looking forward to performing in front of
a small town crowd, which Frere said
is more laid back in their attitude. The
band consists of Lewis Frere as one of
the lead vocalists and on rhythm guitar, his nephew Nick Frere on bass, lead
guitarist Jason Bertsch, and Wes Brown
on the drums. Although Bottle Rock It
does not tour, they already have performances lined up for rodeo dances and
summer weddings.
Bottle Rock It will be performing
at the Strathmore Travelodge on Feb.
6. Cocktails start at 6 p.m., dinner at
7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased
at the Marlin Travel, Pro Water, or Assist

MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Inspiration struck quickly when 5
for Life Chairperson Christine Kiemeny attended a colossal Calgary-based
fundraiser a few years ago, ultimately
translating her experience into a local
book sale to raise funds for programs
geared towards developing children.
The third annual 5 for Life Community Book Sale mirrors – on a much
smaller scale – the used book sale
founded and hosted in collaboration
with the Calgary Herald, Crossroads
Market, and the Servant’s Anonymous
Society that raised $1.5 million over a
decade. In Strathmore, the non-profit
organization focused on early childhood development in the town and
Wheatland County, adapted the fundraising-style with hopes of gaining
an influx in funds to implement and
support similar resources.
“It seemed like something that we
could get all of the communities involved in, the rural as well as Strathmore… it’s now in its third year,” said
Kiemeny.
“Dealing with children zero to five,
it’s the most developmental part of
their lives. So, we try to get across to
parents the idea of reading and bonding with their children and sitting
down and having quiet time, because
in this day and age, when you have
technology and everybody is running
in 50 different directions, that doesn’t
happen very much. It’s a very simple
thing to do, and we just want to pro-
mote that.”
As the organization is expecting a
greater turnout since the event’s inception – having already generated
much interest and donations thus
far – two literacy-focused programs
are already registered on the nonprofit’s radar. While not yet available in Strathmore, Building Blocks,
a program that originated in Nanton
and offers in-home services for families struggling with literacy, is a possible contender as a recipient of the
money which would launch the program in Strathmore for the first time.
Books for Babies, where new parents
receive a brand-new book for their
child, is also a program that received
support from the organization in the
past.
“We’re not specifically sure what
percentage goes to each, but if Books
for Babies needs some more books,
then we would give them some cash
to help, and if the Building Blocks
program comes on board then we
would look at how that would work
as far as supplementing other funding that we get from other resources,” Kiemeny added, who hopes to
raise more than last year’s $1,000.
“We want to provide resources, information, and activities that parents
can do without having to be Martha
Stewart, but something simple that
the parents can do, and give the parents
confidence
know that, ’Yes
Watch
yourtostep
I’m helping my child.’”
Donation depots are set up around
Strathmore and Wheatland County to
collect book donations of any genre
and age group, with the exception of
encyclopedias, magazines, old health
books, textbooks, or Readers Digests,
until Jan. 28. The third annual 5 for
Life Community Book Sale will take
place at the Strathmore Civic Centre
on Jan. 29-30. All children books and
soft covers are $0.50 and hard cover books are $1. For more information on where to drop off items call

MINOR HOCKEY WEEK
Annually across the country we celebrate Minor Hockey Week.
The week is a way to recognize the sport for its positive influence and benefits to
the community, while also recognizing the people who bring it all together from
organizers to players.
Hussar Minor Hockey seeing
results with ‘split’ teams
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
A collaborative effort by the communities
of Hussar, Bassano, Rockyford, and Standard,
ensures kids continue to have the opportunity
to play hockey with Hussar Minor Hockey.
“We didn’t have enough players, that’s why
all the associations have to work together in
small towns because there’s just not enough
kids,” said Clay Armstrong, Hussar Minor
Hockey director.
“Everybody is having trouble in the small
communities housing teams. I think working
with multiple associations is the way it’s going to go.”
Armstrong said having teams from the
four communities come together as one has
worked well so far, because they’re all working with the same goals in mind to give the
kids a positive experience.
“Basically the goal is to provide a positive
experience and I felt we’ve done that,” said
Armstrong.
He thinks the team’s development is going
well and hopes it leads to more wins under
their belts to contribute in making it to the
playoffs.
“So far it’s been good,” said Armstrong.
“We have the teams’ parents and the coaching staff. I haven’t heard any complaints so
it’s been good. We would be happy (to make
playoffs). Goals would be obtained,” said
Armstrong.
Rockyford Minor Hockey
see increased passion
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
Establishing sport teams
in a small town can often
become a struggle, but the
Rockyford Minor Hockey Association created a successful year for kids all in part
due to a group effort.
The association’s vice president Brad Munchrath said
in a small town everyone
has to pull up their socks
a bit more and show more
heart which has resulted in
stronger teams this season.
As a result such efforts have
helped the association reach
their goals that were set at
the beginning of the season.
“Very smooth going year,”
said Munchrath,
“It’s a number of things.
Good chemistry with the
kids, good coaching, I don’t
know it’s small town hockey.”
Munchrath coaches the
novice team, and the most
encouraging thing for him
and the association to see
this year has been more players going from uncertainty of
playing the game to finding a
love for it.
“We’ve got a lot of first-year
players in the sport,” he said.
“I like seeing them going
from not being sure if they
want to play hockey to scoring their first goal and really
start to join the team atmosphere. If you don’t like the
sport then there’s no point in
playing it. It’s all about you
loving the game.”
His goal for the end of the
season is to see the teams
make playoffs, opening the
door to endless possibilities.
Wheatland
Athletic
Association
getting strong
coaching
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
Strong praise rang out to coaches of the Wheatland
Athletic Association, whose teams – midget, bantam,
and peewee double-A – are all sitting in the top three
spots of their division.
The association’s staff is accredited with the success
of raising players to perform at a high level.
“They’re doing a good job at all levels,” said President Murray Brown.
“I think as it always goes, things are going to get
tougher in the second half. I think everybody is gelling
and I think the teams will be fine.”
Brown said the success goes back to the association’s
evaluation process that resulted in strong turnouts and
numerous talented players at the peewee level during
try-outs. While the midget level proved strong from
the start with many returning veterans, the selection
for the bantam level began with a clean slate, with
only one former player coming back.
“For one thing I believe in our process,” said Brown.
“All of our coaches are players. Most of them played
at a high level. They’ve had some good coaches along
the way that have been through our association.”
He emphasized that success is not based on wins
or losses but the development of hockey players, and
gave the coaches the responsibility of furthering their
skillset to become better athletes.
The first half saw very few adjustments being made
amongst the teams, but Brown thinks there will be
more of a focus on special teams going into the stretch
drive of the season.
Additionally, in the second half, the teams will have
to prepare themselves as much as possible for the inaugural tournament-style playoff format with all teams
playing two games a day.
Wheatland Athletic Association will be hosting the
midget playoff tournament from March 3-6 at the
Strathmore Family Centre.
Other events at the end of the year will include the
three-on-three tournament for atom, peewee, and bantam-aged kids, which will take place in Strathmore on
March 31, April 2 and 3.

15/16 GLEICHEN POND HOCKEY - TUESDAY EARLY
MINOR HOCKEY WEEK
Strathmore Minor
Hockey’s seeing
effective development
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
In part due to a new coaching resource to help coaches instill new
techniques, the Strathmore Minor
Hockey Association has seen positive
results in inching closer to achieving
goals set at the beginning of the season.
Coach’s Edge is new to the association this season and is coaching support which teaches coaches the five
pillars of coaching practices. In turn,
players are taken beyond their comfort zone of learning to help them
strive to a higher level of success.
The five pillars that are taught are
passing and receiving the puck at
full speed, how to angle check properly, angle and balance power skating, play support in zones, and drive
the net.
“Coach’s Edge has been doing
seminars every month,” said Strathmore Minor Hockey Association’s
president Kevin Brelis. “We’ve had
some coaches take advantage of
Coach’s Edge coming out and coach
a practice with them and give them
suggestions on what they can do to
improve.”
He said that few complaints have
been heard thus far, and credits the
coaches that have joined the organization this year.
“This year has been exceptionally
good in that regard,” said Brelis.
“Honestly when you have a good
coach in place, it doesn’t matter
what level of hockey you’re playing,
the coach with the right perspective
with some experience makes sure
they’re having a good year development-wise and having fun. I think
that’s what’s happening right now
and that’s a good sign for us going
forward.”
Brelis mentioned that the minor
hockey budget has been looked at
for improvements for the future, and
said he was proud they were off to a
good start by offering the lowest fee
amongst their peers.
“We’re doing a good job that way
but we’d like to look at more steady
fundraising ideas and working our
way to being more self-sufficient financially so we can maintain a low
fee,” said Brelis.

Welcome
Historic resource fair
for Strathmore
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
As employment insurance payments
are tapering off for those who faced
layoffs earlier last year and the Alberta
economy continues to face stagnation,
Strathmore will play host to a first-ofits-kind resource fair, aiming to connect
residents with free services and agencies
targeting all age groups from infants to
seniors.
The Helping Hands Winter Gifts fair
will feature information on free services
provided by Strathmore and Wheatland
County organizations, offer volunteer
opportunities, and hand out donations
– winter clothing, canned goods, baby
items.
“Basically it’s all the non-profit and
government agencies, and it’ll be the
first in Strathmore’s history to have so
many agencies in one spot,” said Richard Rodgers, director of Outreach.
“How the economy is right now, this
year looks worse than last. People don’t
even know what services are here.
Sometimes the working class, they lose
their jobs, and they’re proud and don’t
want to be spotted at FCSS asking for
food stamps or milk coupons. This is a
chance for those lower income or people that need these services to be introduced to them.”
With numerous agencies already
signed up, Rodgers expects 20 to 30 organizations to take part in the one-day
event. Among the many resourceful organizations is the Strathmore Municipal
Library, which has acted as a hub in the
community for a number of years. The
library also offers free programs – Baby
Goose Rhyme Time, Crafternoon, movie
showings, sign language, sewing and
knitting courses, and so forth, as well
as waived memberships for those who
can’t afford the cost. The library will be
able to showcase some of their programming and resources for all ages.
“Sometimes there are groups of people that it’s really hard for us to reach
and this would be one of them, and we
feel like we have so much to offer as
a resource to families who are going
through a tough time or who are just
having a hard time making ends meet,”
said Director of Library Services Rachel
Dick Hughes, at the Strathmore Municipal Library.
“Because there is so much free programming and free resources here, we
are excited about the chance to let them
know that we’re here and that we can
help them. It’ll just be nice to let people
know that just because money is tight,
it doesn’t mean the library is not open
to them.”
The organizers are gathering donations including canned food items, warm
clothing, blankets, toys, and infant items,
as well as door prizes. If the resource
fair proves beneficial for the town, Rodgers expects it will continue annually, at
least until the economy recovers.
“If we can help 50 to 60 per cent of
those people then it’s successful. These
people are educated and they’re just
down on their luck because of the economy and it’s out of their control. These
people have been working for 20 years
non-stop and they don’t know how to
access these services that are available.
I want everyone to know the services in
Strathmore and the county.”
The Helping Hands Winter Gifts fair
will take place on Jan. 30 from 10:30 a.m
until 3:30 p.m. at the Livestock Pavilion
building at the Strathmore Agriculture
Grounds. For more information contact
Richard Rodgers at 403.836.8745.

Rosebud students to host creative fundraiser
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Rosebud School of the Arts students
will engage in a Ten-Minute Play Creation and silent auction, Jan. 30, to raise
funds for their annual theatre study
trips.
In February, first-year students will
visit theatres on Canada’s West Coast for
a week; second- and third-year students
will spend two weeks visiting theatres
in New York and Toronto.
“What we’re really trying to do is immerse these students in theatre and in
theatre arts, and immersion in a whole
different culture, a whole different city,”
said Nathan Schmidt, the school’s Head
of Acting. “These trips are quite times
of growth. (It’s) students’ first time in
big cities, (for) some of them, and getting to traverse the subway in New York
and see Broadway shows, work with
professionals in the world of theatre ...
it’s a pretty inspiring, and can be a lifechanging, experience.”
The Ten-Minute Play Creation will
begin for students on the morning of
Jan. 30, when they’ll be placed into
groups of four, and each group will be
given just one line of text and one prop.
Then they’ll use that line and that prop
to create the script, design, costumes,
lights and sound for a ten-minute play,
which they must be ready to perform
by evening.
“It’s pretty heavy on improv and highenergy,” Schmidt said, “Lots of impulsive creation. So we’re hoping it’s going
to be lots of fun.”
The silent auction will open at 6:30
p.m. in the lobby of the BMO Studio
Stage, featuring student photography
and art, and other items. Bids can be
placed in person or on the Facebook
page: RSA Theatre Trip Fundraiser: TenMinute Play Creation.
At 7:30 p.m., the 10-minute play performance begins in the BMO Studio

donors, with a suggested donation of
$10. Donors who can’t attend in person
will receive a link to watch the performance online.

Rosebud residents optimistic for wastewater solution
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
Rosebud residents can see an end
in sight to hauling their wastewater
out to Olds for treatment thanks to an
environmentally-friendly Symbiotic Envirotek system.
Symbiotic Envirotek is a microalgae
wastewater treatment solution that produces algal biomass that can be sold
for a number of different applications
including food and non-food products.
Rosebud resident LaVerne Erickson
has been pleased with the steps being
taken to have this project built in Rosebud and thinks the right measures have
been taken to have it installed.
“We took the position that we wanted
it, (we) drafted it and gave it to Wheatland County so that they understand
we are working together in this community as a team,” said Erickson.
“We are unanimously in support of
it. The only other option we had is we
pump it out into a lagoon and that’s
not really environmentally sensitive at
all. That’s what other communities had
to do and they had to buy farmland.
You can’t farm the land if it’s covered
in wastewater. When water is so short,
it’s a sensitive resource; we want to
see something that we can recycle and
turning it into something that’s productive.”
Three groups are doing the background work on the project, including
one group looking after the aesthetic
look of the project, while a second
group is looking to incorporate it into
the Parks and Recreation plan because
of the amount of water that is being
discharged.
The third group will be looking at
the finances to buy services to treat the
water but to also be an owner in the
system.
Erickson mentioned that the current wastewater issue has not changed
anybody’s lifestyle due to Wheatland

County’s effort in purchasing a pumper
truck to haul the wastewater out.
“Our field is functioning to a certain
degree here,” said Erickson.
“When it can’t keep up, they pump
the excess into the pumper truck to another location in the county and treat
it there.”
The Symbiotic Envirotek project was
the most environmentally-friendly option with the possibility of providing a
platform for the community to go off
the grid in different areas.
Additionally, if all goes well with
the Rosebud Project, Wheatland County councillors will take an interest in
spreading it to their other areas.

recycled into something that might

“First it looks nicer,” said Erickson.
“Starting in the spring we plant flowers all over town, we keep our grass
green and plant trees. We’ve been averaging in the last five years between 50
to 100 new trees. We need the water resources to do that. They say ‘environmentally friendly’ there is a possibility
in the future of recycling this water so
it could be used for our greenhouse
development here in Rosebud.”
The challenge he sees with the project is the work and volunteer energy
that will be needed to complete the
wastewater treatment system.
The Rosebud Centre of the Arts is the
largest consumer of water in the area
and will be affected by the chosen system no matter what, and will explore
all avenues of possibilities.
“As a non- profit charitable organization, it’s highly unlikely we’ll invest
back into the program,” said Adam Furfaro, Rosebud Centre of the Arts executive director.
“The only way we can possibly see
some sort of investment is if we invest
land or if we invest in some sort of facility space so that we have some sort
of input in what’s going on. But other
than that I don’t think we can become
one of the investors.”
Furfaro said that what they’re interested in is they are in need of a wastewater management system in place because it’s holding up the area’s future
development.
With the ongoing situation, the houses can’t be completed in the neighbourhood for staff, and they are unable
to get new residences in for students.
“We have a serious situation where
staff members are travelling from Three
Hills, Strathmore and Drumheller,” said
Furfaro.
“It’s hard to maintain staff without
having space. The resolution of the
problem is ultimately the most important thing. I see a great potential for
the hamlet to benefit from the harvesting of the algae. I think that’s a great
thing for residents.”
He added that they are grateful for
the Wheatland County’s efforts in resolving the issue and they will work
with them with whatever space they
need to complete the project.

JUSTIN SEWARD

The Crowther Memorial Junior High School
CougaDespite an early setback, The CFR Bisons
were able to score six unanswered goals against
the Calgary Northstars, preserving a 6-2 victory
on Jan. 16 and thus giving them sole possession
of third place.
After finding themselves down 2-0 early, the
team was able to find the spark they needed and
never looked back from the eight-minute mark
until the final buzzer.
“I thought we broke up the game into three
segments and asked our boys to win one period at a time,” said Bisons assistant coach Dave
Attwood. “So coming back and tying the first period, we didn’t lose the period and then we were
able to win the second period and then the third
period.”
He added that the credit went to the boys for
realizing the hard work required to finish off
games.
“That’s really good,” said Attwood. “You do
have to give them a little time to see that and
learn those things for themselves. To see them
learn and grow, that’s really rewarding for coach-
es because that’s what we’re here for.”
Matthew Davies led the way with two goals,
while Tyler Petrie, Tanner Foster, Kyle Gordon
and Zach Vinnell scored in the win.
Despite a valiant effort the night before in Red
Deer, the Bisons fell 2-1.
“When you don’t get ahead on a team like that
and they just keep working hard and all they need
is a chance here and there, it’s not the way you’d
like the game to go,” said Attwood. “It doesn’t
take much for a goal to go in and all of sudden
the game’s changed and you’re behind. You just
hate to get behind with a team you’re better than.
In the second period the momentum tilted a little
bit and they were able to capitalize on a couple
of their chances.”
Vinnell had the lone goal in the loss.
The team will have a couple weeks off before
embarking on a regular season-ending five-game
road trip in Lethbridge on Jan. 30 at 4:30 p.m.
The Bisons will be hosting their first annual
cabaret fundraiser night at the Strathmore Civic
Centre on Jan. 23 starting at 7 p.m. The night’s
entertainment will feature the Independent Indie

Wheatland Kings head coach Emilio Fuoco said it was disappointing to see his boys put up a lackluster performance
in a 6-4 home-ice loss to the High River Flyers, especially
since they knew how important points are at this stage of the
season “After a decent first period, I think the only thing we
were really lacking was a little bit of intensity,” said Fuoco of
the Jan. 17 contest. “But we seem to pick that up in the first
part of the second period and the latter part of the second
period we just took a step backwards. And in the third period
there was not enough focus. The willingness to attack was
there, but we weren’t willing to put ourselves on the line to
play defense.”
Fuoco said the difference was the Kings poor play in their
zone. He gave the Flyers credit for making it tough.
“They wanted to win those battles,” said Fuoco. “They definitely made it difficult. I have to give them credit for their effort. They deserved to win. I think we just need to understand
especially at this time of year we’ve got to play a 200-foot
game, a smart game and want it.”
Kristian Ayoungman scored two goals, while Chris Williams
and Cole Busslinger rounded out the offense in the loss.
The Kings fell 4-3 to the Okotoks Bisons on the road Jan.
15.
The Kings will take on Okotoks again on Jan. 23 (8 p.m.)
at the Strathmore Family Centre.
The home game on Jan. 24 vs. Medicine Hat has been cancelled due to the Cubs not having enough players to field a
team. The Cubs will forfeit the rest of the season.
The Kings currently sit in fourth place with 25 points, two
points ahead of Banff and High River.

The Strathmore Polominos Water Polo Club is hosting their firstever fundraiser with a shorty funspiel and a chance for the curlers
to have professionals John Morris
and Ben Hebert be a member of
their teams.
The proceeds from the event
will go towards the operational
costs of the club.
“It’s a family-oriented kind of
spiel,” said Larissa Damen, parent-volunteer for the Polominos.
“In the curling community, John
Morris and Ben Hebert are very
respected celebrities and Olympians. This is really cool to have
them come to Strathmore and it’s
an opportunity for people that
would never normally get to meet
John and Ben to be able to have
that opportunity. I think it’s a great
idea for a fundraiser and I hope it’s
successful.”
Damen said the water polo club
has to wait two years to host their
first casino, and for that duration
will be finding ways to fundraise
in support of the players.
Morris and Hebert will be auctioned off at the live auction on
Jan. 29 at 7 p.m., while the curling will get underway on Jan. 30
at 9 a.m. at the Strathmore Curling
Club.
The event is looking for eight to
16 teams with the cost being $100
per team.
You can contact Damen at
[email protected] to sign-up
with the deadline being on Jan. 25.

Warriors continue rolling
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
The Wheatland Warriors swept their
way through their weekend games by
knocking off Red Deer 5-2 on the road
on Jan. 15 and thumping the North
Division-leading AB Central Selects 8-1
on Jan. 17 at the Strathmore Family
Centre.
Warriors captain Chase Clayton said
it felt good to get redemption on the
Selects after getting dominated in their
barn prior to Christmas.
“They’re a tough team and it felt
good,” said Clayton. “Last time we
played them, they beat us 6-2. That was
in the back of everybody’s mind. So I
guess that’s pretty good motivation just
to kick their butt. That’s probably our
closest game to playing 60 minutes of
everybody working hard.”
Despite not having their best game
in Red Deer, Clayton thought the key
to winning was generating lots of shots
and once they got the puck out of the
zone the forwards were able to capitalize on their slow defensemen.
Assistant Coach Tyler Brandon also
thought the boys responded well in
the game against the Selects with their
hard work ethic.
“The work ethic was there, everybody was willing to go, it was good to
see,” said Brandon. “We really preach
hard work and the boys do it, not giving the other teams a shot.”
In Red Deer, Stran Backfat Redcrow
led the way with two goals, while
Tristan Olexson, Mo Hakim and Brandon Kasdorf rounded out the offense
in the win.
Hakim scored two goals, while Kasdorf, Ben Kruse, Jaycob Masciangelo, Cole Berg, Carter Kam and Kevin
Schrock scored against the Selects.
The local bantam double-A team will
be back on the ice on Jan. 29 in Hussar against the Cranbrook Hornets at
7:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Wheatland Chiefs
split their weekend games by starting
off with a 5-3 win in Lethbridge on Jan.
15 before being shutout by Okotoks
2-0 on Jan. 17 at the Strathmore Family Centre in a game where the Chiefs
missed their chances.
“We got lots of powerplays and
couldn’t find the back of the net,” said
veteran Ryan Skytt. “We had the early
one called off and I just think some
of the guys lost it there and couldn’t
get their heads back where we needed them. We’ve beat them before and
there’s no reason why we couldn’t beat
them tonight. I think we just had some
off shifts and they cost us in the long
run.”
He credited the play of Mac Clark for
keeping them in the game like he has
all season long, and the strong goaltending efforts from both him and Nelson
Schiller.
Skytt, Kody Hammond, Wacy Sandum, Chris Rebeyka and Ryan Bell
scored in the Lethbridge win.
The local midget double-A will host
the CBHA Blackhawks in Hussar on
Jan. 23 at 5 p.m. before heading to
Okotoks for a rematch on Jan. 24 at
6:30 p.m.
The Wheatland Braves started their
weekend off with a 3-3 tie in Medicine
Hat with the Hounds on Jan. 15. Kobe
Gosling, Trey Gillis and Tristan Zandee
scored in the game.
Zandee and Adam Kirkpatrick supplied two goals, while Gosling and
Tegan Skehar scored one each in a 6-3
home ice win over Lethbridge on Jan.
16 in Hussar.
The local peewee double-A team will
play the Okotoks Oilers on Jan. 22 at
7:30 p.m. and the West Central Tigers at
1:30 p.m. on Jan. 24 with both games at
the Strathmore Family Centre.

Hawks have strong tournament
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
The Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks senior boys
and girls basketball teams both placed second at
their home tournament last weekend, and for the
coaches it was a positive sight to see because the
team’s play improved tremendously from the start
to the finish.
“It was really good to finish with a strong game,”
said boys Coach Josh Jalbert, in referring to the
game against High River’s Notre Dame.
“It was one of the more intense games we’ve
been in this year. I was really happy with how the
boys reacted to that. They were really excited but
there were times where I needed to say ‘hey calm
down, just relax out there.’ Overall, it was a really
good experience being in that close game.”
Jalbert saw a lot of upside from his group in certain areas of their games where they have become
a better basketball team.
“Our shooting was really good and we ran the
offense very well. I think the team has really improved with their knowledge of the game and
where they need to be on the court. That’s something that’s really helped out the offense. We’re
taking higher percentage shots than we were at
the beginning of the year. ”
Meanwhile, Michael Annicchiarico’s girls opened
the tournament by losing to St. Joesph’s of Brooks,
and he knew his team had their work cut out for
them going up against an experienced team.
“I think we had some good looks at the basket,”
said Annicchiarico.
“We were just not hitting some of those key
shots. Particularly in the second quarter we started to get pretty ice cold with our shooting and
they started to make a little bit of a lead on us. We
need to work on our rebounding down low, that
was an area of weakness for us, Brooks has some
size and strength down low and that caught our
girls a bit off guard.”
The team was able to make adjustments after
the loss and Annicchiarico was impressed with the
drive the girls had.
“We started driving the basket more,” he said.
“In that first game we were settling for a lot of
outside shots and not hitting them. Anytime you
can drive the basket and make higher percentage
shots or go to the free throw line, it’s going to increase your offense.”
He said he was satisfied with the second place
finish, considering it was the first tournament for
a lot of the girls at the senior level and it was a
good weekend to take as a stepping stone for the
rest of the season.

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
The Rockyford Ringers U19B ringette
team went undefeated at the 30th annual Esso Golden Ring tournament
from Jan. 15-17 in Calgary, winning
gold convincingly over Airdrie 10-4 in
the final.
For this group of girls it was their
third year in a row winning the tournament, going back to their last couple of
years at the U16 level, and head coach
Colin Melcher said they played hard all
the way through to the end.
“For the whole weekend they started
playing as a team,” said Melcher.
“(The) defense was strong, the goalie
was strong and just an all-around team
effort. I know the whole ringette association and all the parents, they’re
pretty proud.”
Melcher said it helped tremendously
having an experienced group on his
side.
“These girls are motivated,” said Melcher. “After
three years of Golden Ring
wins and three years of
provincial wins, they know
what to do. We played Airdrie and they beat us three
times this year. After seeing
We are looking
for coaches.
the girls play throughout the
weekend, I thought ‘yeah we
can do this.’”
He added that this win will
give them confidence going
into the second half of the
season after what he considered to be a slow start to the
year.

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
When Strathmore Running Club
founder Kelly Yorston trained long
hours for triathlons by herself every
day a couple of years ago, she eventually felt that she needed to network
with people to run with.
Despite attempts through Facebook
she was unable to get it structured and
that is when Diana Baird, who moved
from Carp, Ont., recently, connected
with Yorston a couple months ago.
“That was my desire in starting it,”
said Yorston. “Where Diana has had a
completely different side which is great
because we have two different inspirations. For me I’m social, I love people
and love meeting new people and I
hate training by myself.”
Baird began in a learn-to-run group
in Carp and she had such a successful
time that they asked her to come back
the following year. Ever since then,
she’s had a focus on the health component of running.
“My focus is the health benefits because there’s endorphins,” said Baird.
“You’ve got your emotional aspects
that increase happiness along with the
physical side with building my bone
strength.
“When I came out here I was looking
for somebody to run with and I’d see all
these people running around me, but I
didn’t know how to connect with them

yet.”
This is where Baird connected with
Yorston through Facebook.
Beside the current Strathmore Running Club, their plan is to take what
Baird learned in Carp and create a
learn-to-run club in Strathmore starting
in February.
“The current people we have now,
they’ve been runners in the past or
they’re current runners and they’re
joining us,” said Yorston. “There is that
whole population we really want to
motivate to get off the couch and come
out to do their 5K they’ve never done.”
The Strathmore Running Club is for
all ages and will run on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. in Kinsmen Park and
on Sundays at 9 a.m. at Strathmore Starbucks free of charge.

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
The Strathmore CHAOS club volleyball program is spiking into their second season and will try to build on last
year’s success with the addition of two
more teams to the group.
U15 White head coach Chelsea
Nielsen is seeing promising progress
at practice with the basic skill development and hopes it will continue into
the matches.
“I feel a lot of potential with our
girls,” said Nielsen. “Their heart is there
so they’ll be right up there with the others I think. I’m a big attitude coach; you
can coach the skills, but the attitude
they have to bring. I think we have a
good group of girls who are really optimistic and really love playing the game
and are willing to try things.”
Nielsen added that what will help
in team success is their willingness to
help each other out on the court. Once
the girls play together, that’s when the
unity will show and certain roles will
emerge.
“It’s a big mental game,” said Nielsen.
“When you’re seeing those other teams,
maybe they have a really great warmup, they can be really intimidating.
We don’t necessarily have the same
opportunity that those bigger centres do and we’ll try to do the best as
we can. They’re going to have to find
their place in the first few games and
the biggest thing is having those timid
players come out of their shell and be
confident in their abilities.”
From a coach’s perspective, she is going to try to be calm with the girls and
focus on the positive things, and give
them feedback on how they can fix errors.
U13 and U14’s coach Tiffany Callaghan is looking forward to the new
set of girls who have played one another and are new teammates, expected
to come together and gel as a team.
“My whole team, they’re multi athletes,” said Callaghan. “They play lots
of sports so they have a lot of drive.
Most of them have played a little bit of
volleyball or have been introduced to
the sport. They’re all pretty eager and
excited.”
Callaghan’s hope for the girls is to increase their love for the sport and continue to play the sport whether it’s at a
club level or school for future seasons.
“The girls are all pretty equal in their
experience, which I think is a nice base
point to start with,” said Callaghan. “Everybody’s running the race from the
same start point. That’ll be advantageous for all of us. In practice and in
tournaments or games, I just want them
to come with their best attitude, wanting to be there and give their best.”
If nothing else, she would like to see
the girls be better than they were the
day before.
U15 Purple Greg Appleyard learned
a lot last year about what it takes to
compete at club level and knows his
U15 Purple girls will have to continue
to build on last year’s Nationals appearance to achieve more success this year.
“Last year was a Cinderella-type season,” said Appleyard. “Not that we expect the same results. We expect the
same work ethic and you get results.
It’s fun because you go from development to having more fun with strategy.
The girls understand us as coaches and
vice versa. It’s a lot more fun being able
to push and what we’ve always said to
the girls is depending on the level of
commitment they give us, we will give
them.”
He added that the main goal will be
placing a focus on developing the girls
individual skills and giving them a valuable opportunity to play volleyball in
Strathmore. He said they are fortunate
at the U15 level that they have lots of
girls who want to play.
The other part of the changes for the
CHAOS was a boys division. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough interest
this year and the club formed a development team where they’ll get practice
time twice a week, during which they
will be able to work on basic skills and
play three-on-three games.

The seventh annual Laurie Morton
Ruppe Memorial Tournament has been
a staple in the Strathmore ringette community and preparations are complete
for what should be an exciting weekend of ringette.
“Teams are booked and the schedule is out,” said Pamela Betke, tournament director. “I think it’s a pretty big
deal for Strathmore ringette. One partly
because it’s a memorial tournament
in honour of Laurie Ruppe who did a
lot for the ringette association. We’ve
heard from a number of other associations that it’s their favourite tournament
to go to in the year. It also allows us to
market the sport a little bit more in the
community too.”
Ruppe made an impact on the Strathmore ringette scene as she served as a
captain of a team, a coach and a president for the association. She was also
known to be a positive person in the
dressing room, having a smile on her
face and providing encouragement
when she could.
Betke said the tournament provides
a great opportunity to play other teams
and to see what other levels are out
there in the province because otherwise it’s mostly the local teams who
play each other.
“Our biggest focus is to make this
whole thing fun to help the girls develop a real love of the sport,” said Betke.
“And for us it’s just nice to have the
tournament go well enough so the
teams want to come back year after
year. But it’s nice to know other teams
are willing to travel a fair distance just
to have an opportunity to play in our
tournament.”
Players will get the opportunity to
see where they could play at a higher
level one day as the Big Country Zone
2 U16 double-A team will play a game
at 3:45 p.m., while the U14 double- A
team will follow at 5 p.m. on Jan. 30
after the tournament games.
The tournament will run Jan. 29-31 at
the Strathmore Family Centre.

Love Your Family
At our wind-up meeting on January 11th., 2016 it
was obvious, once again, what a truly supportive
and caring community we live in.
The residents of the County of Wheatland and
Town of Strathmore have again proved to us that
they care about their neighbours and friends. Your
incredibly generous donations to the Christmas
Hamper from schools, churches, clubs, businesses
and individuals have provided County and Town
applicants with a bountiful hamper of food, and toys
for their children.
The outpouring of support, in these hard economical times, for our Christmas Hamper program has
been spectacular this year and greatly needed if our
numbers are anything to go by.
We broke three records on packing day December
19th., 2015. We packed 246 (the most ever) hampers
in a record time of just over 3 hours, with over 60 (record) enthusiastic volunteers. It was a tremendous
sight to see everyone working together for a great
cause.
This compares with the last “recession” in 2008
when we packed 238 hampers and last year’s total
of 218 hampers. When we consider that each generous hamper is designed to last a family not only for
Christmas Day but also well into January, that’s a lot
of food to be sorted and packed.
In addition our “toy department” filled and distributed 365 very large bags of toys to the children of
those families..
The Board would like to thank the Community and
Volunteers without whom none of this would be
possible.
