With the provincial budget

the expected cuts coming to

However last week in Calgary,
Dave Hancock, Minister of Edu-

may not be as serious as previ-
ously thought.
“Prior to that time they were

Also a concern is that staff-
ing is currently 75 per cent of
the budget for the Golden Hills
in Gleichen
School Division.
With approximately nine
schools under 200 students,
Kenworthy said it’s hard to keep
them all staffed and viable.
He added that with so much
of the budget devoted to staff
it is a possibility that staffing
would be effected in budget
cuts.
“Our job is to ensure children
in Golden Hills receive the best
possible education,” Kenworthy
said. “If finances start to im-
pend on that, we get really con-
cerned.”
Despite the budget concerns,
the board is extremely happy
about the type of programs they
provide to students, especially
the international programs.
“People know about us and
want their children to come
here because they know there
is very good education provid-
ed,” said Kenworthy.
In the end, Kenworthy said
that education is an investment
and extremely important for the
province and the future. The Gleichen area celebrated Hockey Day in Canada Jan. 30 by having their
own four-on-four hockey tournament. Kids from age five to 15 played hockey

a long time at the long-term

Hospital.
She said she felt like she
was never able to do enough
for the seniors who were
there, and ended up going
and working privately for a
family.
They would tell Wakelam
that she should go into the
personal care business and
open a place for many se-
niors.
When her grandmother
was diagnosed with Alzheim-
er’s, the family wouldn’t put
her in a facility, so Wakelam
decided to look after her.
With the decision to look
after her grandmother, Wake-
lam also decided she would
help other seniors.
“It was really new for the
County of Wheatland. There
was no other care home, so
I had to do a lot of investi-
gating because there were no
guidelines for me. Now there
is with the Alberta Govern-
ment,” said Wakelam.
The home used to oper-
ate in Gleichen with six se-
niors, but has since moved
to Strathmore and is able to
help four seniors.
There are rooms available
for four seniors, who have
access to 24-hour help from

Discussion on seniors care

Amy Gregson
Times Reporter
Seniors at the Wheat-
land Lodge were able to
voice their opinions on
senior’s care in Strathmore
and Alberta and where
care is going Jan. 27.
Strathmore-Brooks MLA
Arno Doerksen and Mary
Anne Jablonski, Minister
of Seniors and Commu-
nity Supports, were both
on hand to discuss the
different levels of care for
seniors and answer ques-
tions.
“The concerns for ade-
quate needs in Strathmore
are extremely important,”
said Doerksen. “I’ve been
working hard to ensure
that we get those built and
services up and running
for people as quickly as
possible.”
Doerksen and Jablonski
toured the construction
site of the new Sagewood
Seniors Community being
built, and the Wheatland
Lodge after starting out
the day at the opening of
the Sunrise Garden assist-
ed living facility in Brooks.
“[There are] beautiful
facilities in our commu-
nities,” Doersken said.
“There are some needs
here, with regards to
maintenance and things
that need to be upgraded.”
He said they are com-
mitted to finding out the
needs in the communities
and meeting those needs.
“It hasn’t been deter-
mined yet what exactly
the next levels [are] or
what else will be built,
but there’s more to come,”
said Doerksen.
The Alberta Govern-
ment is committed to
funding seniors projects
across the province.
They have announced
$50 million in funding for
the Affordable Supportive
Living Initiative that will
see 750 units for seniors
built across the province
in the next two years in 17
different projects.
This is falling in line
with the Continuing Care
Plan that provides Alber-
tans with the health and
personal care needs they
have in either indepen-
dent, assisted living or
long-term care.
“The reason we have the
plan is because we know
we have an aging popula-
tion,” said Jablonski.
Within the next 10 years,
there will be half a million
seniors in Alberta with
various levels of needs. 90
per cent of those seniors
will be able to stay in their
own homes, but will still
need some level of care,
said Jablonski.
“We know we need to
have sufficient home care
available for seniors who
stay in their own homes,
and when they can’t stay
in their home they need
some [reassurance] that
we’ll have the proper level
of assisted living in place,”
said Jablonski.
Seniors at the Wheat-
land Lodge expressed
their concern about the
amount of facilities that
will be built in Strathmore
in the coming years, and
whether it will include
more extended care beds;
not having to move out of
the community for care;
couples not being sepa-
rated from each other; and
being able to get different
levels of care when need-
ed in the same facility.
“I think that like every
other community there
will still be more need,”
said Jablonski. “As mon-
ey comes available we’re
building as fast as we can.”

ment has also set up the

Project, with the first $100
million generated to go to-

15 years ago in the Genocide (a tribal
dispute within Rwanda) and the prog-
ress of recovery is remarkable. These
people have learned how to forgive
without resentment and have moved
forward into a hopeful betterment for
the future. We can all learn a lot from an
experience like this.”

Working on Budget 2010

Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Crowfoot
Parliamentary Report
Last week I was in Ottawa to attend the Conservative
Party National Caucus. Our government is in the midst
of consulting Canadians before we unveil our fifth fed-
eral budget on March 4. I will be holding the following
Satellite Office Meetings in our riding: Tuesday, Febru-
ary 9 in Strathmore from 10 a.m. to noon and from 2
p.m. to 4 p.m. in Chestermere; Wednesday, February 10
from 10 a.m. to noon in Drumheller and from 2 p.m. to 4
p.m. in Stettler; and, Thursday, February 11 from 10 a.m.
to noon in Hanna and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Oyen.
As your Member of Parliament, I want to express my
appreciation for the emails, letters, and phone calls al-
ready received in my office conveying what voters in our
riding of Crowfoot want to see in the next federal bud-
get. Prime Minister Stephen Harper says that what he is
hearing so far is that Canada’s economy remains the top
priority for Canadians, and he considers that to be our
Conservative government’s top priority.
The Hon. Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance maintains
that while the officials in his department are starting to
see signs of a recovery in Canada’s economy, recovery
is fragile.
As we enter Phase II of Canada’s Economic Action
plan, we are working closely with provinces and mu-
nicipalities to continue the rapid implementation of the
Economic Action Plan and roll out the remaining stimu-
lus projects across the country. At the same time, we
are also looking ahead to future challenges, especially
restoring balanced budgets once our economy is fully
recovered. There is work that can begin now to ensure
Canada builds a strong foundation for future economic
ister Harper, Minister Flaherty and the rest of the Con-
servative Caucus will be meeting with and hearing from
Canadian families, homeowners, workers, business-
owners and industries from across the country.
Already, close to 200 roundtables, townhall meet-
ings, online consultations and other events are planned
throughout the country, concluding with a new Throne
Speech on March 3. It is important that locally, we or-
ganize our input into the pre-budget process so we can
continue to benefit from the economic stimulus avail-
able to our riding.
Now is the time to communicate your ideas and
support for economic stimulus efforts that will see us
through the effects of the global economic slowdown. I
hope to hear from as many of my constituents as pos-
sible in the coming weeks. If you cannot attend one of
my Satellite Office Meetings you can always contact my
Camrose office or send in your comments directly to the
Finance Minister at: http://www.fin.gc.ca/prebudget-
prebudgetaire/1-eng.asp.
Finally, I encourage all of us to remember the people
of Haiti. A charitable gift big or small will significantly
help alleviate the many challenges these innocent peo-
ple are experiencing. As Chair of the House of Com-
mons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Inter-
national Development, one of the first reports I presided
over was a major study of Canada’s Mission in Haiti.
Haiti is Canada’s second largest aid recipient.
The people of Haiti had many issues to contend with
before the earthquake and clearly, Canadians continue
to want to support the people of Haiti.

Resident warns about phone scam

Amy Gregson
Times Reporter
A Strathmore resident is warning others
about a potential phone scam occurring
in the area after someone posing as her
grandson called her and asked for money.
Margery Weatherby was scammed out of
$4,000 after someone imitating her grand-
son called her over the phone.
“We assume that we know peoples voices
on the phone,” said Weatherby. “[There are]
people out there doing these scams who
are professionals. They can copy voices and
everything.”
It all started one morning when Weath-
erby received a phone call at around 10
a.m. and she recognized the voice right
away as one of her grandsons.
She said the caller on the other end was
beating around the bush, but she knew he
had something to share with her.
“He said ‘Grandma. I did something
I shouldn’t have done last night. I had a
couple drinks. I had the truck and had an
accident. I’m going to lose my job.”
Strathmore’s
celebration of lights
All Weatherby could think about was that
her grandson would lose his job because
he uses his truck as a company truck.
The caller said the truck is fixable and
that he could get it fixed without his em-
ployer every knowing what happened. All
that was needed was $3,840.
“We always said to the family ‘If you run
into any kind of trouble at all, give us a
phone call,’” said Weatherby.
She told the caller she didn’t have the
money and didn’t know if she could get it.
The caller said he would call back around
noon to find out if she could.
Weatherby said she wondered how she
could come up with the money and ended
up going to the bank to borrow $4,000.
The caller phoned back when he said he
would and gave Weatherby further instruc-
tions on how to get the money to him
She was told to go to the post office,
get a wire line and the money would be
sent through there. He also said it will cost
about another $115 to send it.
The caller than told Weatherby, “Don’t
worry, you’ll get that money back.”
Sun
Weatherby headed to the post office and
sent the money, which ended up costing
her $150 to send, bring the total very close
to $4,000.
One thing that stood in her mind was the
address she received to send the money
was in Quebec.
Weatherby said she quickly rationalized
this because companies are not always
located in the province and it could have
been a chain owned elsewhere.
Another thing the caller added was for
her not to tell dad or granny [the grand-
mother on the other side] about the acci-
dent.
Weatherby said her grandson’s other
grandmother never wanted to be called
‘grandma’ always granny, something only
the family would know.
She said another key thing the caller said
were the last words he spoke to her, “I love
you grandma.”
With four sons and eight grandchildren,
Weatherby said spontaneously they will say
“I love you grandma” or “I love you mom.”
The grandson who was supposedly asking
for money is the only one who says “I love
you grandma” to her every time they say
goodbye to each on the phone or in per-
son.
and saw almost the exact same story on the
news in Calgary.
“That was the first time I phoned the po-
lice,” said Weatherby. “Up until that point I
didn’t know it was a scam.”
The RCMP told her they are looking into
the potential scam that is occurring in the
Calgary area.
At this time she also phoned her grand-
son and asked how the truck was doing,
which coincidently was theirs and they had
sold to him.
He said the truck was fine and when
asked about an accident responded “Ac-
cident? What accident?” He knew nothing
about what had gone on.
Now, Weatherby is just warning others
this is happening in the area and telling all
her friends and family to be careful.
She said many have responded by saying
they would know if it wasn’t a family mem-
ber or friend on the other end.
“Let’s just say it was your wife’s voice and
she phoned and said ‘I just had an accident
and I need the money.’ You would do it.”
Her advice to others is to ask more ques-
tions. Weatherby said that if anyone you
know calls asking for money for an acci-
dent, talk about something else besides the
topic of conversation and be really certain

Smart The caller also mentioned he was getting

News
Happy 2010 to everyone from the
Celebration of Lights committee- it is now
time to start our planning sessions for the
new year and the 3rd Annual Light Up the
Night in November.
The only way we can grow and give the
community more spectacular lights and
events is by having more volunteers
involved is this fun event.
On Wednesday February 24th
we will be hosting
A Volunteer Evening
at 6:30 pm at the Strathmore
and District Agricultural
office at the Civic Centre
next to the pool.
Because of Canada’s
northerly latitudes most
of us are deprived of effective natural
sunlight for the majority of the year,
causing Vitamin D deficiency, a condition
now recognized as unnatural and
problematic. Ask your doctor to check your
Vitamin D levels with a simple blood test.
Moderate tanning, for individuals who can
develop tans, is the best way to maximize
the benefits of regular UV exposure while
minimizing the risks associated with either
too much or too little sunlight. Sunburn
prevention is the key. A few minutes each
week in our Vitamin D Sunbed will help get
a cold, something the RCMP would later
tell Weatherby could be a cover for any
variances in their voice.
At one she even called back the number
that appeared on the caller ID and got a
dead end. She assumed that she got a dead
end because the caller said he was getting
a calling card.
Weatherby said there was nothing in the
person’s voice that would have given her
some clue that it wasn’t her grandson.
“I’m very active and alert. It’s just great to
live everyday. I’m not an old grandma. I’m
not hard of hearing or senile. I just love my
children [and grandchildren].”
For the next week and a half, Weatherby
had no idea what had happened. She didn’t
realize the potential of the call until her
husband was watching the news one night
that you know who you are talking to.
“There is no such thing that when you
pick up that phone, you really know it’s
that person on the other end because you
can’t see them.”
Weatherby said the scariest thing is that
everyone thinks they have privacy and se-
curity, especially because we live in Canada.
“We don’t know if the information came
from Facebook or a cell. Somehow or an-
other they have to be able to copy voices.
It’s not tape recorded because it’s not hesi-
tant. There’s nothing that would make you
think it’s a machine,” said Weatherby.
She said she has no hope that the money
will be returned.
“We are living in a strange time and things
can happen to anybody in any country or
in any town, but people have to know.”

Open Houses for Proposed Power lines

Amy Gregson
Times Reporter
With the population of Alberta grow-
ing rapidly and the demand for power
doubling, a new transmission line has
been proposed in the province.
AltaLink is proposing to build the line
from the Genesee area west of Edmon-
ton to around the Langdon area and is
holding open houses to discuss the proj-
ect.
“There’s all these route alternatives
and we need to speak to stakeholders
to find the best one out of all of those
proposed so far,” said Robin Boschman,
from AltaLink.
There are currently three different
routes being proposed, but only one line
would be built.
The proposed routes include areas
with no other transmission lines, routes
that parallel other transmission lines
and routes near the least number of resi-
dences.
The completed line would be any-
where from 330 to 400 km in length and
would be a 500 kilovolt transmission
line using a new technology called di-
rect current.
A converter station will be built at each
end of the line to change electricity from
direct current to alternating current, so
the direct current line can connect with
the rest of the province, which operates
in alternating current.
Direct current continually flows in the
same direction, similar to the current in
a flashlight or an automobile battery.
Direct current was chosen because
stakeholders were concerned about re-
ducing the impact of building new trans-
mission lines.
The direct current line would also be
able to transport large amounts of pow-
er more efficiently than alternating cur-
rent. The towers would be smaller and
it would require a smaller right-of-way.
“We’ve added more than a million peo-
ple to our province, and the transmis-
sion system, which is the high voltage
long distance power lines that you see
in the province, haven’t been upgraded
in that time,” Boschman said.
“Our demand for power has grown ex-
ponentially and our transmission system
just hasn’t kept up.”
At the open houses people will find
out more information about the direct
current technology, information about
the compensation and consultation pro-
cess and more project details.
“Stakeholder feedback is critical to
finding the best route for this project,
so we really need to hear from people,”
said Boschman.
AltaLink will be talking to stakehold-
ers across the province at open houses
in the month of February, and then in
information sessions in March.
AltaLink will be refining the routes in
the summer after looking at stakeholder
feedback.
A second stage of consultations about
the transmission line will happen in the
fall with more open houses, information
sessions and one-on-ones.
They then must apply to the Alberta
Utilities Commission to get permission
to build the line. This application is an-
ticipated to happen in spring 2011.
If approved, construction would start
in approximately 2012 and be complet-
ed sometime in 2014.
The estimated cost of the project is ap-
proximately $1.1 billion.
The closest open house is in Indus
Feb. 16 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Indus
Recreation Centre.

Love after 50 years
Amy Gregson
Times Reporter
Sheila Wilson didn’t even have to ask
her husband Tom for help to put her coat
on. He just picked up her coat and helped
her.
She knew that his shoulder was hurting
and couldn’t get his coat on by himself, so
Sheila helped him out.
The simple act of helping your signifi-
cant other put on their coat is something
you rarely see these days.
However, sometimes it’s the simplest
things in life that show you that after 51
years of marriage a couple is still in love
and for Valentines Day we are celebrating
that love.
Or as the Winslow’s joke “their prison
sentence.”
The couple met when they were
12-years-old in England when Sheila’s
family had moved into Tom’s neighbour-
hood and he delivered newspapers to her
house.
They hung around with each other until
both left for work at the age of 15, which
was normal at the time in England.
They met again after Tom joined the
army, and eventually started dating.
“She appealed to me and that was it,”
said Tom.
The pair would go to the movies a lot
and would travel on Tom’s motorcycle to
get everywhere, calling themselves motor-
cycle enthusiasts.
Tom was planning to propose on Christ-
mas Eve in 1957, and was getting ready
when his brother showed up as “drunk as
a skunk” as he described it.
“That sort of took the edge off the pro-
posal,” said Tom who now had to deal
with a mad cab driver with vomit in the
car and Sheila worried that her future-
brother-in-law was dead.
“After that we did get engaged,” said
Sheila, who was surprised. Tom had al-
ready asked her father’s permission, which
Sheila said was very gentlemanly of him.
They were 21 at the time they got en-
gaged, and when Tom told his father, the
response he got was “it’s about time.”
They got married Dec. 6 1958 in a Cath-
olic Church in London with six brides-
maids and one best man, which was com-
mon then in England.
“We really enjoyed it,” said Sheila.
During this time they were looking for a
place to live, but it was difficult. Just four
weeks before the wedding, they finally
found two rooms in a house to sublet.
The place needed a lot of work and
they spent their honeymoon fixing up the
house.
They stayed in the house for a few years
before deciding to buy their own place.
They had to move in with Sheila’s family

to save up money, which took approxi-
mately three years.
The family moved into a two-bedroom
house in Kent.
When Sheila got pregnant for the sec-
ond time they said if they had another
daughter they could share a bedroom, but
if they had a son they would need a bigger
house. They had a son.

Mixed Bonspiel sweeps into Strathmore
amy gregson
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Curling Club
was full of curlers looking to win
the top prize in the mixed bon-
spiel Jan. 26 to 31.
The annual event had 22 teams
this year compared to 28 that
came last year from places like
Strathmore, Calgary and Chester-
mere.
“You just see fewer curlers
this year,” said Bev Shaw, orga-
nizer. “We’re very happy with the
amount of teams we did get.”
Each team curling was guaran-
teed three games. The amount of
games they played after that was
determined on their win-loss re-
cord. Teams played then in three
different events to compete for
prizes.
The top four teams in each
event got to pick their prize in or-
der of where they finished.
“If you’re the number one team
you get the better choice of priz-
es,” said Shaw.
“It adds a nice variety.”

Prizes came from places like
Home Hardware, Speargrass Golf
Course, Strathmore Golf Club and
Rafters.
Shaw said that while some peo-
ple prefer cash prizes, they feel
that actual prizes are a bit more
personal.
It was a $180 entrance fee per
team, which included a banquet
dinner and dance on Jan. 30.
The event attracted curlers of all
ages from those in their 20s all the
way to their 60s.
“With the mixed bonspiels it
also tends to be couples,” said
Shaw. “It’s a great sport for any
age.”
Shaw said many curlers who
cannot physically bend down to
throw the rocks have started to
use a stick to deliver their rocks
and stay in the game.
She said the bonspiel is a very
social type of atmosphere, yet can
be very competitive.
“It’s a very skilled technical
sport, but it’s also a lot of fun with
the people you curl with,” she
said.

Celebrating Canada’s Game

Amy Gregson
Times Reporter
Communities across Canada cel-
ebrated Hockey Day in Canada Jan.
30 and Gleichen held their own fes-
tivities.
The Gleichen area held a four-on-
four pond hockey tournament to
celebrate the game and their own
pond hockey program.
“The day’s been fantastic. The kids
are having a great time,” said Cara
Sheppard, organizer. “The parents
are loving it. It’s a good day.”
The coincided with CBC’s Hockey
Day in Canada as all six Canadian
hockey teams faced off on the same
day.
For $5, girls and boys from age
five to 15 came out to play three fun
games, even though all the players
kept score on the ice.
Just a week before the tourna-
ment, only 36 players had signed
up. They ended up with close to 70

Doug Taylor Photo All participants were given a
puck, a mini-hockey stick, a
Gleichen Hockey Day
T-Shirt and a team jer-
sey to keep and wear
for the day.
The tournament had
two playing surfaces set
up inside the arena and
one rink outside.
Sheppard said it was a
bit scary the week before
to see if the outdoor rink
would actually work out.
“We managed to pull it
off,” said Sheppard.
There were also ceremo-
nies and photos taken at the
tournament. The RCMP lent
out their radar gun to test
players shots.
Sheppard said the event
is going to happen yearly
on Hockey Day in Cana-
da. She said this year they
were late in planning but
she already has ideas for
next year.
“Next year is [going

Snow-Pitch for Haiti The Strathmore Communities-In-Bloom Committee, the

Amy Gregson
Times Reporter
Even before the devas-
tating earthquake in Haiti
on Jan. 12, a charity snow-
pitch tournament was al-
ready in the works to help
those in Haiti.
Now they are looking
for teams to compete in
the March 6 to 7 tourna-
ment, with proceeds go-
ing to support Haiti Arise.
“It’s a conscience that
they have this horrific
thing [earthquake] happen
to them and they need the
help more than they did
before,” said Melissa Bag-
nall, organizer.
Haiti Arise is an organi-
zation Bagnall found out
about through the Harvest
Healing Church in Strath-
more.
Haiti Arise is a non-prof-
it organization founded by
Mark and Lisa Honorat.
Mark was born in Haiti,
but the couple now lives
in Calgary.
Mark was in Haiti when
the earthquake happened
and returned to Calgary
Jan. 20 to his three chil-
dren and his wife, who
is expecting their fourth
child.
Their mission is to
strengthen families, neigh-
bors and the country
through education, bring
relief to poverty, stimulate
the economy and preach
the Good News so lives
can be saved and also
hope for a strong future
for Haiti.
The organization has
already built a Bible Col-
lege and established an
outreach program that dis-
tributed rice and clothing
monthly.
“We met them [Mark
and Lisa} when they came
out here [Harvest Healing
Church] a couple months
ago, so I knew the need
was already great there,”
said Bagnall.
The Snow-Pitch tourna-
ment is looking for any-
one over the age of 16
who wants to play and
have fun. Those aged 16
to 18 must have a guard-
ian’s perission to play.
They are looking for
teams of 10 players with
a ratio of six men to four
women. There are already
three teams signed up, but
they are looking for 16
teams in total.
Each team is guaranteed
three games, which will
be held at the baseball
diamonds on the agricul-
tural grounds.
The top three teams will
win cash prizes: $500 for
first place, $300 for sec-
ond and $200 for third.
The cost for a team to par-
ticipate is $200.
Bagnall is also looking
for people to donate priz-
es for draws and a pos-
sible silent auction, and
food to sell for lunch.
“We are looking for any-
one to come out, watch
and hang out for the day.”

ball tournament or for
more information contact

Chinook Credit Union, Eagle Lake Nurseries and the Town of
Strathmore are proud to be partners in the Birth Forest project.
What is the Birth Forest?
The Birth Forest is an initiative to plant a new tree for each
newborn child in Strathmore registered with the program.
The program is strictly on a volunteer registration basis, and
at no cost to the family. The cost of the planting of trees and
the subsequent maintenance costs are covered by the project
partners.
Where is the Birth Forest?
The first phases of the Birth Forest have been planted in
Parkwood Green Meadow along Green Meadow Drive,
and it is anticipated that the phases will be located on
other public (Town-owned) lands throughout the Town.
GroW toGether
Trees will be planted for new registrations once each year.
The number of trees will be matched to the number of child
registrations, but trees will not be assigned individually!
All Birth Forest trees will be accessible for everyone to enjoy.
Trees will be planted in the spring for all registrations
received in the preceding year.
reGistration
The registrations will be collected throughout the year.
To register your newborn for the Brith Forest,
please contact Communities in Bloom.
There is no cost for registering newborns.
reGistry Maintenance
The Communities in Bloom Committee maintains a Registry
of the children registered in the Chinook Credit Union Birth
Forest. Families of registered children will be notified for
special planting and other celebrations at the Birth Forest.
Why are trees iMportant?
Along with celebrating the birth of Strathmore children,
these trees will help increase the tree inventory in the Town
of Strathmore. This in turn will help remove pollutants from
the air and beautify the Town for decades to come. One acre
of mature trees will store 2.6 tons of carbon every year and
produce enough oxygen for 18 people each day.

Major ringette tournament being held in Strathmore
amy gregson
Times Reporter
Strathmore’s first major ringette tour-
nament will be happening Feb. 5 to 7.
The tournament will be the first time
almost every division in the Strathmore
Minor Ringette Association has played
in the same tournament over the same
weeked.
“We’ve never done an all-in-one tour-
nament before,” said Tami LeMoine,
tournament organizer. “We have always
had two or three tournaments through
the year with just two or three divisions.”
LeMoine said it’s been fabulous to
see the Strathmore Ringette Association
grow. Nine of the 10 Strathmore teams,
ranging in age from U7 to U16 will be
playing in seven divisions in the tourna-
ment.
The only team not participating is the
Junior A team who had hoped to be go-
ing to the Alberta Winter Games to rep-
resent Zone 2 that same weekend, but
didn’t beat the Rockyford team in a play-
off.
They will now be staying to help ref-
eree games and announce games during
the course of the weekend.
With only two ice sheets in town, it’s
difficult to get time for each individual
group to host a tournament.
“This way we get good timing, Febru-
ary, and we just wanted to give it a try,”
said LeMoine. “It makes for a very excit-
ing weekend. Intense, but exciting.”
The weekend also lets the organiza-
tion utilize a larger pool of volunteers
from each team. Past tournaments have
featured usually only two or three di-
visions with two pools where teams
played three round-robin games and
then had the opportunity to play in the
semi-final and finals.
This year there is only one pool for
each division and they will play three
round-robin games.
The top two teams in each division
will go on to play for the first place ban-
ner on Feb. 7.
“It makes it a more compact event,”
LeMoine said.
Teams from out of town applied to
come play in the tournament. LeMoine
said that in almost every division there
were more teams applying than they
could accommodate, so teams were cho-
sen by drawing names out of a hat.
Another feature of the tournament is
the pre-bunnies, ages three and four,
who will be demonstrating what they
have learned during the year.
Pre-bunnies don’t participate in the
tournament and don’t play any games
throughout the year, so this is the op-
portunity to give them a chance to shine
said LeMoine.
“They’re amazing. If anybody’s think-
ing about their child learning how to
skate, this is an incredible program for
them,” she added.
They will be in full equipment at 1:15
p.m. on Feb. 6 on the gold ice and will
be given ribbons afterwards.
The tournament has been named the
Laurie Morton Ruppe Tournament for
the woman instrumental in setting up a
ringette league in Strathmore.
“She played ringette as a youngster
and as an adult went on to create the
Strathmore Minor Ringette Association,
coached and was a huge supporter,” said
LeMoine.
The ringette community lost Morton
Ruppe seven years ago, but her family is
still active in the game.
“This is a way of remembering her
and her contribution,” said LeMoine.
The tournament runs Feb 5 from 12
to 8:45 p.m., Feb. 6 from 8 a.m. to 8:45
p.m., and finals on Feb. 7 from 9 a.m.
to 1 p.m.
Games will be held throughout the
weekend at the Family Center and on
Feb. 6 at the Standard Arena.

Shoot to win challenge
mario prusina
Times Editor
The Wheatland Kings
will give two lucky fans a
chance of a lifetime during
the teams final game of the
season Feb. 14 (6:45 p.m.)
at the Strathmore Family
Centre.
The pair of contestants
will each shoot one puck
from centre ice and must
make it through a small cut-
out in the centre of the goal
to win $10,000.
According to Kings head
coach, general manager and
team president Doug Mur-
phy, the $10,000 shootout
is a way of giving back to
the fans.
“It’s a fun thing that
(brings in) some fan par-
ticipation,” said Murphy.
“Hopefully somebody can
walk away with 10 grand.
“C.E. Franklin is a really
good supporter of the team
and this is one of the things
that they wanted to do to
help us out.
“It’s a win-win for the
both of us.”
In their second year of
operation, the Kings have
established a great fan base,
said the coach. However,
the support of the sponsors
is something that makes it
all possible.
“We have great spon-
sors – they have been really
good,” said Murphy. “Our
fans have been incredible –
I think a lot of that comes
from the team being local
and having local players.
“Businesses want to sup-
port that and the fans want
to come out and support
the people they know.”
Down the stretch
It is well known that the
Wheatland Kings will not
make the playoff this sea-
son.
But if you think that the
final three games of the
regular season are mean-
ingless, just don’t let head
coach Doug Murphy hear
you.
“We’re playing for pride,
we’re playing for next year,”
said Murphy. “We want

Family Centre Jan. 30.

to be making a statement
that when next year comes
around, we’re going to have
a team that more than con-
tends.”
The Kings will hit the
road Feb. 6, when they
travel to Red Deer to take
on the Vipers before closing
out the season on home ice.
Wheatland will host the
High River Flyers Feb. 13
(8 p.m.) and the Blackfalds
Ford Wranglers Feb. 14
(6:45 p.m.) at the Strath-
more Family Centre.
