County councillors made their de-
cision in front of a packed house at
the Travelodge, where residents ex-
pressed their concerns or hopes for
a school to be built on the land.
“Of course we were disappoint-
ed,” said Ron Kenworthy, chair of
Danielle Smith the school board. “We’ll be discuss-
visits Strathmore ing that at our board meeting April
13.”
This meeting will be used to dis-
Page cuss what the board will do next.
The board was planning to build
the East Wheatland School on the
site, which would be a stand alone
kindergarten to grade 12 school that
would draw students from Gleichen,
Rockyford, Standard and Hussar.
The board was planning on clos-

They were also asked to discuss
how roads would be impacted and
potential busing routes for students,
along with parking and emergency
evacuation plan in case something
was to happen.
The board was also asked to ex-
plain the statement “New School
or No School” and stated that with
declining enrolment, surplus space
and the current buildings that need
maintenance are on a low priority
list from the Alberta Government.
Kenworthy said during the meet-
ing, that consolidation is essential
and the board will not compromise
school programs for old buildings.
Kenworthy did note that the Min-
ister of Education Dave Hancock
has said that a brand new building
in East Wheatland is a priority be-
cause it is a good business plan for
the board.
“We tried to address comments for
what the meeting was for and that
was the suitability of that site,” said
Kenworthy. “We tried not too revisit,
as we had the first time, anything to
do with the boards decision.” Man, I feel like a woman!

They used them to study different
aspects of music such as the form of
a song and learning about the differ-
ences between intro, chorus, bridge,
verses and outros.
The songs were also used to study
the elements of music such as the
rhythm, tempo, how fast or slow the
music is, melody and harmony and
how to listen for different instruments
that are being used.
“We thought it would be fun for the
kids to learn about music in a new
way,” said Zinken. “They can relate to
the slightly more modern music, al-
though if you ask the kids it’s old, but
it’s newer than classical music.”
The different ensembles have been
looking at the Beatles music since
January along with other classical
pieces, they have been preparing to
play at festivals.
The bands that performed were the
Grade 7 band, Grade 8 band, Grade
9 and then a high school band made
up of students in Grades 10, 11 and
12 and two jazz bands, one from the
junior high and one from the senior
high.
Two girls also sang during the night
and a small student group called Ivy
Inferno played their own version of
Eleanor Rigby.
The Band Parent’s Association orga-
nized a silent auction and a bake sale
to raise money to subsidize the cost of
instrument rentals. More than $3,000
was raised.
“A month’s worth of rentals for the
Band Parent’s Association is $2,500,”
said Zinken. “The kids do pay a rental
fee, but that only covers about a third
of our rental costs. The rentals are
highly subsidized by these fundraisers
and the Band Parent’s Associations.”
Along with practicing for their con-
cert, the high school band attended
the Alberta International Band Festi-
val in Edmonton March 17 and 18.
The high school band played for a
clinician at the University of Alberta
and at the Festival.
“We had great feedback, learned a
lot and had a ton of fun,” said Zinken.
The grade 8 and 9 bands are cur-
rently getting ready to perform at the

something Kenworthy thought
was not in line with the hear-

“I thought that a lot of the

what the hearing was supposed
to be about,” he said.

County Reeve said any pub-

public to voice their opinion of
the matter at hand.
“Some of it maybe wasn’t the

Before the vote was read,
the county’s planning depart-
ment had indicated that GHSD
had met all the criteria required
for an Area Structure Plan and
that additional concerns raised
would be addressed in the fu-
ture such as traffic, water and
environmental at a later date.
A recorded vote was done
and five members of county
council opposed the re-desig-

strong were the only ones to
vote in favour of the request.

Smith spoke about the Wild Rose Al-

Smith spoke about the Wild Rose Al-

would have addressed the $4.7 billion

Smith spoke about how the Wild Rose
would get Alberta back into the black
financially after two years by reducing
capital and operational spending, end-
ing corporate subsidizes and changing
the management to worker ratio in the
public sector.
She also spoke about where their party
stands on oil royalties, health care and a
bit on agricultural and land-use planning.
“There’s concerns about the budget,
the closure of health facilities or the lack
of construction on new and needed fa-
cilities,” said Smith. “Strathmore is not the
only place dealing with these issues, it’s
happening all over the province. The fact
that it’s happening all over the province

to me there’s a big problem in the way

Smith finished off her time in Strath-

where people asked more specific ques-
tions about the issues she already raised.
Smith said during her speech that the
Wild Rose Alliance has “a unique oppor-
tunity to build something that has mean-
ing and impact.”
She said the big test will in the next
election.
“We’re hoping that once we’ve run a
full slate of candidates that we’ll get a
number of them elected and then we’ll
be able to represent Alberta’s interest in
the legislature,” Smith said.

is looking for midget players for the up-

The league currently has enough play-
ers to field two small teams, but is look-
ing for up to an additional six players to
have two decent sizes teams.

how many kids wanted to come back

be able to compete at a higher level be-
cause we’d have more people to do the
running.”
There are currently 26 players regis-
tered and a team usually averages ap-
proximately 17 players.
Players for midget level for this season
would have to be born in 1994 or 1995.
In other lacrosse news, the association
will be moving back to play in the Cal-
gary and District Lacrosse Association.
“It’s pretty exciting for the associa-
tion,” said Betterton.
The team has played the last two years
in the Southern Alberta Lacrosse As-
sociation, which included teams from
Brooks, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge.
One reason the association decided to
move back to CDLA was because of the
travel time. Another was that teams were
playing two games on Saturdays.
“Two games of a physical, hard game
like lacrosse can be taxing on a young
person’s body,” said Betterton.
“We just thought there would be more
parity, which would help in our skill
development and interest in the sport,”
said Betterton.
The Calgary league has a tiered system
because of the number of players and
teams.
Strathmore teams will be ranked in
the tier their coaches think they can
compete at.
Also new this year is that the mini-
tykes and tykes will move to a system
like that of Timbit’s hockey.
These two levels will focus on skill de-
velopment and compete in small scrim-
mages where they don’t keep score,
with no physical contact, and where it’s
fun for the kids.
“That’s a province-wide decision to
move that way, so that’s very exciting for
lacrosse in general,” said Betterton.

The Strathmore Storm Midget Tier 2 team won against High River March 28 to capture the division title and
bring home the banner. The game was tied at two until the final four minutes of the third period when the
Strathmore Storm scored to win the game 3-2.
Midget Tier 2 wins banner
Amy Gregson
Times Reporter
It was an intense and
nerve-wracking game for
both players and families
March 28 as the Strathmore
Storm Midget Tier 2 compet-
ed against High River for the
division banner.
With the game deadlocked
at two for the majority of the
second and third period, the
Storm was able to net a goal
with less than five minutes to
play, to pull ahead and cap-
ture the title 3-2.
“I can’t think of a better
feeling,” said Doug Pagen-
kopf, head coach. “The boys
played great. They did every-
thing we asked of them this
year.”
Pagenkopf said the series
between Strathmore and
times
High River was tough. Strath-
more took the first game 4
to 2 March 19, even though
Pagenkopf said High River
outplayed them.
The teams played March
27 in High River, where he
said Strathmore outplayed
High River, but came up
short in a 2-0 loss.
In the final game in Strath-
more, Pagenkopf said it
could’ve gone either way,
but they were lucky to get
the goal when they did.
A key player in the win
was defenseman Cody Bet-
terton, who assisted on the
first goal and then scored the
final two goals.
“He’s a great skilled play-
er,” said Pagenkopf. “He was
out the first game [of the se-
ries] with a concussion, so
we didn’t let him play. That’s
sports

why he had a little more gas
in the tank today.”
Pagenkopf said another
key player was goaltender
David Barbeau, who finished
the playoffs with an average
of less than two goals against
per game, which always gave
them a chance to win.
The Midget team’s season
was plagued with injuries,
including several concus-
sions, broken bones and a
ruptured spleen.
“This never slowed the
team down at all, in fact they
got stronger as the season
went on,” said Pagenkopf.
“I knew all season long,
we had a good chance to win
the league. This group was a
great bunch to coach and I’m
glad to see them finish this
season as champions.”

The Strathmore Storm pee wee
tier 4 battled hard in the final
game of the year for the banner,
but came up short to Nanton.
In the third game of the final
series; Nanton lead by two goals
into the third period and even-
tually won the game 6-2 for the
division banner.
“For the boys and girl to not
win it they’ll be pretty sad be-
cause this is what they were try-
ing to accomplish,” said Kelly
Wheeler, head coach.
Wheeler said Nanton had
some really strong players, and
the Storm lost their nerve and
started worrying when Nanton
pulled ahead, and didn’t focus
on winning.
“It was all nerves,” said Wheel-
er.
Wheeler said the team should
have won both of the first two
games in the series. The team
lost in a shootout in game one
at home in Strathmore, and then
won the second game in Nanton.
“We work as a team every
game and we have to beat the
other team’s stars and today we
just didn’t, but usually we do,”
said Wheeler.
The final game was similar to
a situation early in the regular
season, when the Storm were
down two goals to Nanton and
ended up coming back and beat-
ing them.
Wheeler spoke about this dur-
ing the second intermission to
try and get the team going, but
said Nanton’s star players just
came out harder.
Wheeler said the year has been
fantastic, even though the team
lost two of their first five games
to a team that ended up finish-
ing 11th.
“We went from losing to the
11th place team [earlier in the
year] to playing the last game of
the year,” said Wheeler. “We were
there the whole way, we just
came up two periods short.”
Wheeler said it was a great
group of players this year and
that the team didn’t have super-
stars, but a team of great hockey
players.
“To be playing meaningful
hockey on March 28 is every-
thing,” said Wheeler.

With a second chance to claim the
South Central Alberta Hockey League
north division title March 23, the
Wheatland AA Chiefs couldn’t recap-
ture the glory.
The midget team thought they had
claimed the division title March 21,
after beating the Red Deer Elks on
home ice, only to learn later that the
game had to be re-played because the
Chiefs had accidentally used an ineli-
gible player.
“It’s been pretty hard on everyone,”
said Devin Olson, head coach.
A Wheatland Chief player had been
suspended in the second game of
the series and Olson said they hadn’t
heard about any additional suspen-
sion, so the player played in the origi-
nal third game.
“We went through every precau-
tionary thing we could, sending
emails and phone calls,” said Olson.
Red Deer protested the game after-
wards and the league announced that
supposed to be suspended.
Olson said that according to the
rules, if an illegal player is used the
game should be forfeited, but the
president of the league didn’t want
that, so an additional game was
played.
The third game was originally
played in Strathmore and the re-
scheduled game was supposed to be
played at the Family Center March 22.
However, the game was played March
23 in Red Deer.
“They were in the wrong and they’re
trying to make it even for both teams,
is what it came down to,” said Olson.
“We had to go up there, either that, or
they would have put in a protest [to
Hockey Alberta] and they probably
would have won the protest.”
Olson said it was tough to go and
play a fourth game in Red Deer and
that it was also pushed back a day to
give the players an extra day to cool
down and re-focus.
Olson said the kids came out and
started hard, until a Chief player hit
an Elk player from behind in the first
By the end of the first period, the
Chiefs were down 5-0, but Olson said
they battled back by outplaying and
out shooting the Elks in the second
and third period.
“We had the momentum, we just
couldn’t score,” said Olson.
The Chiefs lost the game 6-3, which
they played without three key players
said Olson, one with a broken thumb,
one out with a suspension and the
one out for the hit from behind.
Besides the final game, Olson
said it was a successful season with
the team only losing four games all
regular season, a 20-game unbeaten
streak, finishing first in the division
in goals for, second in goals against
and winning the north division in the

“We had a good group of kids too
this year. They’re all pretty good
friends,” said Olson. “They are a
pretty close group too, which always
helps.”

Ringette holds windup party
amy gregson
Times Reporter
What better way to celebrate another suc-
cessful season for the Strathmore Minor Rin-
gette Association than to hold a party to recog-
nize their players March 28.
They celebrated by introducing each team,
recognizing the accomplishments they’ve had
and handing out player recognition awards.
“It’s a complete celebration and tribute to
our coaches and all the volunteers that have
participated in the season and of the players
and their achievements in the year,” said De-
nise Taplin, president of the SMRA.
Taplin said it’s been a very successful season
for the assocation.
The association had record numbers for reg-
istration and saw the most pre-bunnys ever,
those under the age of six and are just learn-
ing ringette.
The association tried really hard this year
to field a U19 team, the oldest team in minor
ringette, but in the end was unable to get the
numbers.
Taplin said they are confident they will have
a U19 team next year because the numbers are
stronger in the upcoming group.
“We will be able to offer a team for every
player from the age of three to 18,” said Taplin.
Two of the minor ringette teams won the
banner in zone two this year, the Tween B
team and the Junior A team.

These teams, along with the Petite A and Ju-
nior B, attended provincials.
“I think all the girls had fun at a provincial
level competition,” said Taplin. “The sport is at
a high caliber level and I think our teams did
well and enjoyed their time.”
At the party, each team was called up on stage
and each player was introduced. Coaches also
spoke of what tournaments the teams attended
and how the players improved throughout the
course of the year.
The association awarded the Laurie Morton
Ruppe Award to four players in the tween and
junior division for the sportsmanship qualities
they show on the team.
The players who were awarded were Tas-
sia Rushford from the Tween Ice Thrashers,
Stephanie Meyers from the Tween Ice Sisters,
Jenna Gigantelli from the Junior Ice Ice Baby
and Kirsten Dunlop from the Junior Ice.
Each coach spoke about how hard it was to
choose just one player on the team, but that
they were all great leaders and gave it their all
on the ice.
The association handed out 10-year pins to
players Becca Dunlop and Kirsten Dunlop.
Board members and adult volunteers Darrin
Dunlop, Vicky Morris, Barb Steele and Rina
Hemple were also recognized for their com-
mitment to the sport.
“They’re passionate about the sport and to
see that range of age and enjoyment they get
from each level it’s really exciting.”

SHS holds largest
badminton tournament
in province

Times Reporter
More than 400 badminton players came
from 12 schools across Alberta March 27
as Strathmore High School hosted the
provinces largest badminton tournament.
With so many players, the tourna-
ment had to be held at Strathmore High
School, Crowther Memorial Jr. High and
Wheatland Elementary School.
“It’s a lot of work, but it’s really good
competition for the kids,” said Kenton
Zandee, badminton coach.
Jennifer Murray was able to win the
bronze medal in girls singles, her first
placing this badminton season.
Zandee said Murray was a bit surprised
because singles is not her strong suit as
she usually plays doubles.
“It was a pleasant surprise,” said Zan-
dee.
Zandee said he thinks the entire team
competed very well as they were up
against some of the best in the province,
especially because a lot will make it to
provincials.
“Some of my players I moved up into
higher age categories to make it more dif-
ficult for them just because it will pay off
when they go to county and zone’s them-
selves,” said Zandee.
The different disciplines were singles,
doubles and mixed doubles and then stu-
dents were divided into junior, intermedi-
ate and senior based on age.
Gavin and Carly Malcher from Standard
School received a sliver medal in junior
mixed doubles.
“They don’t usually play together,” said
Ed Yu, coach. “It was nice to see them be
able to play without practicing and play
well.”
Their record in the round robin was
six and one and they ended up playing
a three game match against a pair from
Eagle Butte.
The pair lost the first game and game
back to win in the second, but couldn’t
pull off a win in the third game.
After the Easter break, SHS will host
the county tournament April 14 starting
at 12:30 p.m. and than host Zones April
24 for those students who qualified from
the county tournament.
