An aging Ag Society Board wants to bridge the gap between teens and a greying organization. We really need to bring fresh light into our show, said Board member Grant Klaiber, at a community open house held at the Civic Centre March 13. He noted that the board and the patrons in the stands are aging and to carry on Heritage Days activities, younger people have to become involved. The committee head, Lori Knopf, of the Ushers, Parking and Admissions said the majority of teen volunteers want more recognition for their involvement. In previous years, there were some complaints that they felt unappreciated; that they were given jobs that no one else wanted and were not trusted with enough responsibility during the event. Another audience member questioned whether a job-shadowing program could be set up, in hopes that those youth will take over those jobs. Klaiber encouraged young people to become members and run for board positions. Crystal Stevens, a coordinator for junior rodeo, said an investment of year-round support was needed to get youth involved. Wheatland Cowboys and Cowgirls have 60 youth who participate to learn roping, goat tying and barrel racing. Interested youth can get more info at wheatlandcowboysandcowgirlsrodeosociety@shaw.ca Stevens said the youth would like to work with the society and there were other youth and agricultural-based groups that would step up if shown support. To reach younger audiences it was suggested to get more techno savvy. Other events tap into the teen right now mentality by offering information on their iPhones. There was a suggestion that entertainment could be teen-targeted. The Society had successfully engaged family groups but did not have much to engage the under 18 demographic. Many young people have expressed interest in improved midway rides. However, the Board is having difficulty supplying Midway rides. A conflict in scheduling and unavailability of other providers is the culprit. The Board is looking for ways to compensate for that deficiency. The society is encouraging any suggestions directed to their website at www.strathmorerodeo.com under contacts.

What is advertising liability?

It is common to H GRouP see Advertising Liability PRoGRAmS added in as an additional coverage. Be aware that H CommeRCIAl this is not always done by all H ReCReATIon insurance companies. H lIFe This extension is for claims arising from your H TRAvel advertising activities that Take ACTION could include: Against High Defamation, libel or Premiums slander Plagiarism or infringement of copyright Privacy and invasion of rights of privacy Have you discussed this with your broker?

As always, our advice is, take control of your insurance.

Fundraising success
The Strathmore for Haiti surpassed expectations, raising almost $10,000 more than the last auction. At the last auction the Hope Community Covenant Church raised $15,000, which lasted three years to help with the work they are doing in Haut-Limb. This year just over $24,000 was raised. The hope is to be able to work with it for the next few years, while Hope Church also plans to keep the community updated on the projects so interested parties can keep track of their dollars spending.

The Block Parent program has come to Langdon. The four board members are still looking for more people to apply to become a part of the program. Chrissy Craig, left, Tammy Loiselle, Shari Deines, Trudy Hale.
Growing up many of us can probably recall the distinctive red and white design of a Block Parent sign in the occasional window. Now a days seeing the signs is rare, but the ideal behind the program is still a necessary function. Block Parents have always been known as the safe people you can go to as a child if you need help, whether it is safety from bullies, strangers, or because you are feeling ill. Four women in Langdon have gotten the approval for bringing the Block Parent program to the community, now they need the volunteers. We just have the community members filling out the applications and getting them in. We havent given any signs out yet because we havent gotten any applications in yet, said Chrissy Craig, one of the four board members. In order to become a Block Parent, volunteers must go through the application process and have a police check done. Craig and the board dont have a specific number of people they would
like to become a part of the program, but said the goal is to have a Block Parent sign on every block, at every time of the day. After realizing that many of the people living in the community are families with children, bringing the Block Parent program to Langdon seemed like a natural fit to the board. The majority of this town is families with little children, everywhere you go, there are trampolines in every other backyard. We dont have a huge police presence out here, just because we dont have a detachment out here, so we needed something to help with these children, said Craig. Just to help if something happens, dogs or bullies or even some stranger, that does happen. But its mostly for like the bullying and the strange animals, or if theyre lost, that sort of stuff. (Its) to help these kids when their parents arent always around, so they have a safe place where they know they can go. Before the end of the school year Craig said the plan is to get in to the schools and preschools to inform the kids about the Block Parent program.

The Strathmore Whole Health Expo is coming up fast! This event will be a little different than other similarly titled events, with the focus coming upon education of the many options that are out there. And what is Whole Health, you ask? Just as the human body is striving for homeostasis, so does every element in our life from our physical, emotional, and spiritual health to our relationships, work, home and pets. We are constantly striving for balance in all areas of life. From alternative therapies, to fitness and weight loss ideas, to healthy thinking - there are so many wonderful things to learn about at the Strathmore Whole Health Expo March 31-April 1. In addition to booths featuring great products and services, from 12:30 p.m. - 6 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, there will be featured guests speaking on a myriad of topics. These 20 minute sessions will include topics such as Chinese medicine, heart health, medical marijuana and inspirational stories. There will also be demos on zumba and yoga. The schedule will be available very soon on
our Facebook page, and will be featured in the Strathmore Times in the coming weeks. At 6:30 p.m., we are very excited to be offering a screening of Happy, the movie that is getting rave reviews around the world. Check out thehappymovie.com for the trailer of this documentary that looks at how people strive for happiness in their life. This movie will not be released to the big screen, only featured in small releases such as this so set aside the time to come down and check it out. The cost for entry into the show will be a non-perishable donation to the foodbank or $2 which will go to Growing Families Society. With each entry, you can enter your name for draw prizes. A grand prize of a $250 gift certificate to the Rocking R Guest Ranch will be drawn for at the end of the movie on Saturday, but you have to be there! The cost for entry into the movie will be the same, and if you come down early to the show and want to come back for the movie, just ensure you get a stamp before you go. Jumphouse Gymnastics will have a play area for the kids with a team of kids to help keep yours entertained ($2 donation), so bring the whole family down. We look forward to seeing you!

The Youth Club of Strathmore, formerly known as the Boys and Girls Club of Airdrie, Strathmore Club, has moved from their home at Re/Max Realty Horizon to the Youth Centre. While in the development stage of securing their own Boys and Girls Club, they are offering programs to the community that follows the philosophies of the National Club organization. We have been very fortunate to have the support of Remax Realty Horizon, said Colina Clark, Program Coordinator for the Youth Club. They generously provided the space for our programs to be delivered to the community. With that support, we have now outgrown the space and acquired the Youth Centre to be our new home. The Youth Club of Strathmore has some new workshops approaching. In April, we will be offering a Bricks 4 Kidz program and a first aid course provided locally by Safeblu Fire and Safety Services, said Clark. Bricks 4 Kidz is a Lego-based program where the participants will combine learning
and fun as they engage in building with traditional bricks and motorized Technic Lego. This program is for 7-12 year olds. The first aid course is aimed at youth aged 8-12 years. Both of these programs are limited in class size. Clark stated The month of May will begin our fabulous Flex Friday programming. For one Friday in May and one in June, the Youth Club will provide an opportunity for community youth to participate in a shortened program of our Chef or Mad Science programs along with a recreational activity. Also, they will offer a babysitting course lead by Child Safe Canada. The summer camp registration will also be held in May. Members registration is May 14 and non-members are welcome on May 16. The Youth Club of Strathmore is a membership based organization. Our members receive a few benefits with membership. For example, reduced costs for programs and advanced registration, said Clark. Non-member registration for the upcoming workshops and programs, on a first come first serve basis, will be held on March 28, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Youth Centre, 170 Brent Blvd.

To the Editor I want to touch on the motion that was made by Councillor Sobol in the March 7 council meeting with regard to tracking costs for researching becoming a city. I want everyone to understand very clearly that all costs in becoming a city will be tracked and recorded to ensure transparency to the public. What should not be included in the costs is administrations time, (ie. phone calls, letters, etc.).
Tracking administrations time would be redundant, as projects such as this one are included under administrations daily roles. To clarify the motion, all costs will be recorded except for administrations time. Projects of this type fall under the daily roles and responsibilities of administration, therefore tracking the time and cost of this would be irrelevant. Mayor Steve Grajczyk Strathmore

Ag Society Board members hosted an open house for the community to discuss the status of the Society and ask for direction in various Society initiatives. We want the Ag Society to be more relevant in the community, said Darcy Ledene, General Manager. Members of the audience were concerned about the financial health of the Society, as there was a rumour that the Society was in financial trouble. The rumour was false and spread to establish interest in the Societys activities and generate support. Are you telling us the truth about the state of your affairs? asked Judi Wilson, questioning whether the Ag society is in trouble Air these expenses and tell us where our dollar is going. Board member Grant Klaiber said a $160,000 operating grant, given by the government, would cover this years loss. He outlined the Societys debt. Last year, an investment of $235,000 accomplished campground upgrades, hoping to generate year-round income. However, renters have decreased and utility costs increased, leaving concerns how to recoup the investment. The Society also owes $200,000 on land that is currently valued close to $14 million. One quarter section was going up for tender. Whether the sale proceeds cover the Societys current costs and fund some future initiatives would be up to a membership vote and acceptance of the tender. The Board members encouraged anyone questioning the funds to come to the annual meeting held Dec. 12, 2012 and look at the books. The Board had not specifically tracked why they were repeatedly losing money and an independent study pinpoints the leak in the revenue tub. Ledene indicated that it

would be a matter of rolling up their sleeves and pouring over the books to determine the cause. Society Director Jim Cammart stated that the Society was not in trouble, although every year for several years running the Society loses up to $100,000 on the Heritage Days event. Cammart noted that fair failure was widespread. Over 100 fairs previously attended in North America had shut down. The Board wanted to be forward thinking, to prevent the same demise. It would be reorganizing and forming a clearer mission from the community towards future direction. The Society focused on agriculture in the past, but has evolved into a recreational direction. There were past proposals for a better facility development that would serve all interest groups in the area. Trying to please everyone ballooned the cost to an unrealistic $80 million dollars and the project was shelved. Ledene said that input from members, the community, the Town of Strathmore and the County of Wheatland were necessary to consider revisiting a large facility enhancement initiative. Their current focus is to upgrade the existing buildings. One will be getting insulation and better washroom facilities for year round use. However, the Board does not want to discourage ideas. If anyone comes with a business plan that made sense, we would certainly entertain it, said Director Cammaert. The Society has two members sitting on the recent Golf Course, Arts and Recreation expansion committee and there may be a possibility for the Ag Society membership to be part of a coordinated development effort. While the Board did not commit to any of the ideas, they recorded them all. They welcomed suggestions and asked that other ideas be made on the Society website at www.strathmorerodeo.com/contact.html

The Labour Market Partnership (LMP) has gone live this week, and is ready to offer the survey to interested employers. Teri McKinnon, the LMP partnership Manager, is inviting all business owners and employers in Strathmore and Chestermere area to complete the survey for the Rural Employer Access to Workplace Training and Aboriginal Engagement project. The research project is being launched through a partnership between Bow Valley College, the Government of Alberta, The Banff Centre and the Alberta Rural Development Network. The survey tool is intended to identify factual information specific to workplace training needs, aboriginal engagement and leadership development opportunities directly from local employers, said McKinnon. We established a business scan based on location and industry. The survey is directed at respondents who own, manage or supervise businesses in the Strathmore and Chestermere townships. All data collected remains confidential ensuring company names and contact information is protected. Leadership and workplace development training are important business development

strategies and it is important to identify the specific needs within the Strathmore and Chestermere region. Once those needs are assessed, post-secondary institutions and other education providers will be able to work together to provide local programming that fits local demand. The survey will remain open for 10 weeks, during which we hope for high engagement from employers. The research study is seeking a minimum of 100 respondents across the Strathmore and Chestermere region in order to accumulate meaningful data from which to build an action plan for government leaders, said McKinnon. Respondents have the opportunity to supply contact information should they wish to conduct Phase 2 which is the interview process, or receive information on leadership and/ or training opportunities. Also, all participants who complete a survey qualify to win an iPad. To complete a confidential five-minute survey on professional and business development go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6FWCGCM.

After three months of meetings, the Golden Hills School Divisions (GHSD) East Wheatland Working Group is proposing closing the four area schools in favour of a consolidated K-12 standalone school for 350-400 students, to be located somewhere along Highway 561 between the junctions with Highway 840 (south of Standard) and 842 (south of Chancellor). Over 200 East Wheatland residents gathered to hear the details of the proposal and give their feedback at an information sharing night organized by GHSD on Monday, March 19 in Strathmore. GHSD Superintendent Bevan Daverne, who facilitated the working group, presented the proposal to the meeting, noting the time frame is tight as the GHSD board needs to make a decision on the issue at its March 27 meeting in order to meet the April 1 deadline for capital plan submissions to the province. The best case scenario for a start on a new school, if the board approves the proposal for its capital plan and Alberta Education accepts it, would be three years following an announcement of funding, according to a FAQ sheet produced by GHSD on the stand-alone school. The amount of support is uncertain, based on conversations with individuals after the meeting. Rockyford resident Fiona Elder said she was not happy with the location. With four children ranging from Grade 10 to not yet in school, she said she had hoped to keep a school in her community to which her younger children could walk. Concerns were raised about the surveyshow the questions were worded and how the results were compiled. The questions seemed designed to get a pre-determined result i.e. a standalone K-12 school, said Ron Corbiell of Standard. He also questioned giving extra weight to the responses of parents, since there is no such distinction when it comes to paying education taxes. Others have concerns about the accuracy and completeness of the research done concerning the costs of a standalone. How is it that GHSDs presentation to Wheatland County in 2010 for a similar project estimated the cost of water and sewer at approximately $2.6 million but now they are estimating a cost of less than $500,000? asked Alan Larsen, Mayor of Standard. Others thought the proposal was a good one. Corey Fischer, a former GHSD trustee for East Wheatland, said he always supported a stand-alone K-12 and hopes to see this go ahead. Erich Hoff from the Gleichen area said the working group took on an impossible task, and that any kind of progress on this issue is impressive. Bottom line, we need a new school in East Wheatland he said. While not her first choice, Sherri Skibsted who farms near Rosebud said she could support the stand-alone, but wondered what kind of commitment the schools could expect from GHSD in terms of funding and staffing in the interim. She also wondered if the project goes forward, what kind of support Standard school, the designated high school for East Wheatland, could expect from those parents who are currently sending their children elsewhere. Would
they be willing to send their kids to Standard in the interim to get numbers up and begin implementing the improved programming before a new school is built? she questioned. Several wondered if there was a plan B i.e. if for some reason a stand-alone K-12 couldnt be built in the proposed location outside of Standard if the working group had an alternative in mindsomething other than just status quo. When asked, Daverne said there was no plan B, simply the options presented to the meeting of a standalone or status quo. In a 45-minute presentation (which can be accessed on the GHSD website www.ghsd75.ca) Daverne showed how the working group, made up of East Wheatland parents, arrived at their proposal based in part on two Internet surveys of residents. The working group concluded fairly early on that given declining area enrollment, changing demographics, aging facilities and the fact that East Wheatland schools are not necessarily the first choice of residents (there are 306 resident students attending East Wheatland schools, but there are 150 resident students GHSD knows of who attend schools outside the area) While in some communities a K-6 school is satisfactory now, they did not believe this situation was sustainable. A consolidated K-12 would mean programming benefits such as an end to split grades in elementary, and a high school enrollment of 100 or over would mean no more combined classes (e.g. pure and applied math students in the same class) as well as more options for students. Based on the results of the first survey, which asked where respondents were on the continuum between more choices for students and having a local community school, the working group decided to investigate the possibility of a stand-alone school outside any community. The working group began looking at the major issues involved in a consolidated K-12 including the availability of land, the cost of services, and student safety, all issues that were brought up when GHSD previously proposed a stand alone K-12 for East Wheatland 2 years ago. According to the information gathered and presented, building a K-12 outside a community would be as possible, cost effective and safe as if it were built inside an existing community i.e. Standard. Daverne noted there are over 30 stand-alone schools in Alberta, built between 1940 and 2005, so it is not uncommon. Concerning land and services, Wheatland County maintains a Municipal Reserve Fund, $1.68 million of which is designated for school projects, which GHSD could apply to for purchase of land and installation of services for the site. Regarding water, Daverne said they projected approximately $25,000 for well drilling, pumps and storage tanks; $30,000 for setting up treatment facilities and between $2,000 to $3,000 or less for annual maintenance. Sewer would be more expensive at $375,000 for the initial set-up and an estimated $7,000 a year for maintenance. Daverne noted this is less than what GHSD currently pays for water bills in similar sized schools in a town. Both the water and sewer would require approval by the appropriate government agencies. Another issue was the feasibility of
east Wheatland residents filled the Strathmore Civic Centre on March 19 to listen to a presentation made by GHSD and give feedback with regards to the proposed K-12 stand alone school.
building a school to the standards required by the province for all new buildings i.e. silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Daverne said the research indicated building a stand-alone to these standards would not be significantly more difficult than if it were in Standard. In comparing emergency response plans for existing stand-alone schools in the province, Daverne said they were not appreciably different from what is followed in GHSD schools. Based on proposed routes to a standalone, busing times would be 20 per cent shorter, and express routes from each community would be in operation. The working group then conducted a second survey, asking if respondents could support a consolidated K-12 as a stand-alone or in Standard. The results showed that 69 per cent could to some degree support a stand-alone (i.e. ranging from would only support a standalone to would prefer it in Standard but would be willing to support a standalone) while 63 per cent to some degree supported the school being in Standard
(i.e. ranging from would only support the school in Standard to would prefer a stand-alone but would be willing to support a school in Standard). The deciding factor in the working group opting for a stand-alone was the fact that when only the responses of parents with children in school were considered, then the balance shifted to 74 per cent supporting to some degree a stand-alone and 58 per cent supporting the school being located in Standard. Explaining why the responses of parents were given more consideration, Daverne said at the end of the day parents are the ones who decide where the kids will attend, and for this project to succeed it needs a broad base of support. Following the presentation, those in attendance had the opportunity to give feedback to recorders at each table. One question asked people if they could support the proposed stand-alone or if they wanted to maintain the status quo (K-8 in Gleichen, K-6 in Hussar and Rockyford with K-12 in Standard).

In 1880, the Desjardin family left Quebec for Chippewa Falls in Wisconsin, to work in the lumber mills and build the river boats that moved up and down the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. They lived there for 11 years, before moving on to Joliette, North Dakota. Theresas father Leon was born there in 1893, and the family stayed for a further eight years, before moving to Crowfoot Creek, Gleichen. Theresas grandfather and father both raised Percheron horses, which continued until the age of mechanized farming. The Gibeau family moved from Quebec to Cluny in 1910. Ernie Gibeau was born in Cluny in 1925, and Theresa was born in Gleichen in 1930. Theresa and Ernie met in Cluny, and
were married in 1952. This marriage produced four sons, and they adopted four daughters, and now have 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Many readers will remember their son Mark, and daughter-in-law Laurie, who spent many years creating wonderful items of glass. Mark is now known for his Heritage Grains, whilst Laurie continues creating glass blowing products. From an early age all members of this family have enjoyed the outdoors- hiking, camping and hunting. Another son Michael was a Park Warden in Banff National Park, for 35 years. Ernie went to Jeanne dArc School and Cluny Bow Valley High School, while Theresa went to Yule School and St. Marys in Calgary. They lived at their farm six miles north of Cluny until 1973. Ernie introduced Black Argentina Rape Seed into Wheatland County in 1948.
Who would have known in those days, that this crop would become a staple of farming, today! After 21 years of farming, Ernie turned to his other love carpentry and construction. He was known throughout Wheatland County, Calgary and the Windermere Valley for the quality of his work, in the remodeling and building of custom homes. Although carpentry and lathe work became a lifelong hobby, one can see by looking at items of this work, that this was his pride and joy. Unfortunately, this came to an end in 1998, when illness forced him to stop. Theresa thinks of herself as a stayat-home mother, for the first 25 years of their marriage, and helping on the farm as needed. After selling the farm, they moved to Calgary for four years, before moving to Windermere. She upgraded her musical education, so that she could give private music lessons on piano, organ and accordion, in her
home. In 1984, they moved back to Strathmore, to be closer to their family, and Theresa continued teaching music until 2002, when Ernies illness required more of her time. Ernie was a member of the Reserve Army during WW2, on the board for rural telephone and power lines in the late 1940s/early 1950s, a member of The Lions Club in Cluny and Windermere, and a member of Knights of Columbus. Theresa has enjoyed her sewing, crafts and her music throughout her life. She still enjoys these activities to this day and continues to play at Wheatland Lodge and Sagewood every week. Ernie is now a resident of Extended Care in Strathmore Hospital, while Theresa resides at their home in town. She is very involved in writing the autobiographies of their families.

Performers played to a packed house on March 18 when Rockyfords United Church held a musical evening. Above: Rockyford Community Choir. Manny Everett Photo
There was more than meets the eye as Peter Lauridsen (the MC for the evening), wife Fiona on percussion and brother-in-law Michael Love on acoustic guitar shared a few of the oldies-butgoodies of some soft rock and gospel mixes. Local talent who also is no stranger to the stage, Shari Filipionek sang a beautiful rendition of How Great Thou Art. The Brass Buds from Rosebud played, followed by a few more numbers by the Choir including a congregational hymn
The Day Thou Gavest Lord Is Ended. It was a perfect conclusion to a fine evening of arts and entertainment. Following the program everyone was invited to stay for coffee and goodies in the churchs fellowship hall. Organizer of the event Gayle Garvin said This was totally a group effort from start to finish and the evening exceeded our expectations by far to have this wonderful evening of music gather the community members together for the love of music. It was a wonderful evening all around.

The Strathmore Curling Club was the host of the mens bonspiel last week. The bonspiel, which ran from March 12 to 18, saw teams come from all over southern Alberta to compete.
Strathmore High School alumni returned March 16 and 17 to compete in the annual alumni volleyball tournament.
won the bragging rights this year, beating out the Duthie Clan. The oldest returning team was from the Grad class of 78, and the tournament raised $850 for the Strathmore Volleyball Program.

Peewee Champs!
The Strathmore Storm female peewee team claimed the league championship by ousting Olds in two games. The Storm defeated Olds 4-1 on the road March 16 before clinching the series with a 7-2 win the following day at the Strathmore Family Centre. The coaching staff is proud of the girls for their solid team play all year, leading up to the championship win.
The Strathmore ice U19 B consisted of coach Stephan LeCavalier (back, l-r), Hannah Manyguns, Courtney edwards, Madison Gillies, Caitlin Thomas, Karli vanGunst, Caitlyn Woodcock, Megan LeCavalier, coach Darin Dunlop, Willow Paxton (front, l-r), Rebecca Dunlop, Raegan Graff, Dakota Cole, Jenna Gigantelli and Heather Potter. Absent were Shayna Dunbar and coach Chad Gillies.
The Wheatland Braves concluded their 2011-2012 season by taking part in the Hockey Alberta Provincial Championship March 15-18 in Lethbridge. The local double-A peewee team had a couple of tough outings to start the tourney before improving their play later in the weekend. It was somewhat bittersweet, said Braves head coach Keith Klemmensen. We played well for one game and probably not so well in the other three. We got what we deserved when we did play well and when we didnt play well, we got what we deserved there as well. The Braves opened the weekend with a 10-1 loss against league rival Okotoks, before losing their second game 9-1 to Lloydminster. However, the team regrouped and defeated Beaumont 5-3, before losing a tight 2-1 decision to Springbank. According to Klemmensen, despite not playing a meaningful game since being eliminated from the SCAHL playoffs, they boys were physically ready for the tournament.
I dont think the long layoff hurt anything, said the coach. I think and some guys will disagree, but I really think what hurt us more than anything was the fact our first two losses against Okotoks and Lloydminster were against, fast, hard-playing, rough teams. These guys were two really good hockey teams and they were more mature than we were. We didnt get the compete from the boys we needed to give those type of teams a better run. However, despite only winning one game, the tournament was a great learning experience for the boys, especially the returning players for next seasons squad. I would sure think so, said Klemmensen. Realistically, when I look at our (10) returning players (for next season), I wouldnt be surprised if eight or even all 10 are back next year. There is a good nucleus there for darn sure. The (returning players) definitely have a leg up on other guys. They have to make sure when they come next year that they understand there is more to hockey than just showing up. This weekend was a great learning experience.
It was a devastating end of the season when the Airdrie Sting dominated over Strathmore Ice in the U19B season playoffs during games on Feb. 25 and Mar. 3. The girls put forward their best efforts throughout both games; however, in the end, it just wasnt enough. We didnt come out as strong as we should have, so they got a few quick goals, stated Megan Lecavalier, one of the teams co-captains, in relation to the second game of the series. We really picked up the pace [in the second period though], and tried our best. It was tough competition for both teams; however, Airdries efforts superseded that of Strathmores and the
outcome was in their favor. Goals, during both games, were scored by: Caitlyn Woodcock, Megan Lecavalier, Willow Paxton, Becca Dunlop, and Shayna Dunbar. The last goal of the season was scored with 0.04 seconds on the clock by Shayna Dunbar. Throughout the year the girls won a number of games and partook in a few out of town tournaments. Even though the team was not successful at the tournaments, they had fun and grew as a team. This was the last year of U19 ringette for players Caitlin Thomas, Becca Dunlop, and Heather Potter it will be a loss to the Strathmore Ringette League, and a gain for their future ringette leagues. It is hoped that the Strathmore Ice will be more successful next year with upcoming talent from the leagues U16.

Kennedy Zaytsoff added three more medals to her collection last month when she competed in the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games in St. Albert.
Figure skater Kennedy Zaytsoff proved once again she is a skater to be reckoned with when she competed in the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games in St. Albert. Last year she had skated in the provincials for the Special Olympics, bringing home gold medals for both the freeskate and solo dance, which qualified her for the Canadian games. This year Zaytsoff did it again, bringing home another gold for Ice Dance and two silver medals for elements and freeskate. It was good and a fun experience,
said Zaytsoff. She said she has dreamed of competing in the Special Olympics and that it was everything she had hoped it would be. Zaytsoff first began skating when she was five years old and said she plans to skate until the day she gets sick of it. There isnt one thing in particular that she can say is her favourite move, but did say the best part of figure skating for her is to show off my skills to all the audience and the fans. Zaytsoff plans to work on her axel jumps, while waiting to find out if she has qualified for a chance in the Special Olympics Worlds being held in South Korea in 2013.

For the next few weeks Grade 5 and 6 students from Westmount, Wheatland and Brentwood elementary schools are getting a chance to learn basketball basics. Shannon LeClair Photos
Strathmore has a new basketball program in town, this one aimed at promoting an interest of the sport at a younger age. Grade 5 and 6 students from Westmount, Wheatland and Brentwood Elementary schools were learning some of the basic skills of the games March 14-15. For three weeks, the kids will work on their skills and then in the fourth week, just before Easter, there will be a mini tournament held at Strathmore High School. Its not a club program, its not where were going to take kids and go on with them as a team or anything from this, this year. Its just we want to make it accessible to all the kids who are in any school and hopefully thatll translate into more kids playing, said Kyle Larson, one of the coaches and organizers. Larson helped coach at Crowther
Memorial Junior High with the girls this year. Larson said he, Scott Koller and Matt Laslo had talked a lot about bringing in a program like that over this past basketball season. It was kind of a team effort. The three of us were kind of talking at zones, and a few weekends before that and we just said you know we havent really organized anything, said Larson. I said why dont we just try to throw something together this year and get it going, and just try to generate some interest at a younger level. Hopefully that will translate a little bit into a little more for the junior high right away. The first night was really good. Its just fun going back and coaching fundamentals and being with the little guys, were used to being with the high school. It was fun, it was fun to work with the young kids for sure. Larson said the four-week program will be offered again to the kids next year.

The Wheatland Chiefs hope a good showing at the Provincial Championship will spark them in their quest for the SCAHL title. The local double-A midget team earned a berth in the provincial semifinal, before falling 2-1 to Peace River in the matchup. We played pretty good, a lot of different guys stepped up that havent for a bit, said Chiefs head coach Devin Olsen. We had a good weekend and that semifinal game was pretty one-sided. We outplayed, we did everything we could except score goals. The Chiefs opened the tournament with a 7-5 win over Sherwood Park, before hammering Fort Saskatchewan 6-3. Wheatland then fell 4-1 to Sylvan Lake, their SCAHL rival, before falling 5-2 to the Calgary Rangers. However, despite the 2-2 record, the Chiefs earned a berth in the semifinal. It ended up being that our pool was definitely the hardest pool, said Olsen. The team that finished last in our pool was Sylvan Lake (the top team in the SCAHL regular season). Fort Saskatchewan lost only three games all year and we beat them to put them out of the playoffs. It was a good experience for the boys not too many have been to provincials and they didnt realize how much it meant to be there (until they got there). It really opened their eyes. After a solid run to the semis, the Chiefs now refocus on the best-of-three SCAHL Championship series. Wheatland dropped a 4-2 decision to Sylvan Lake in Game 1 on March 13 on the road. We had a slow start they came out flying, said Olsen. We battled back, but we didnt get any bounces. They hit the post and it goes in, where when we hit the post, it stayed out. If our team shows up from the start, there is not a team in the league that can beat us it just depend which of our team shows up and which doesnt. The Chiefs hope that the confines of the Strathmore Family Centre will help even the series and push it to a Game 3. Game 2 was played on March 21, but results were not available as of press time.
Our thoughts are of only you today, Mom Happy Memories come to mind Of the one we loved with all our hearts And Always will until the end of time. We will forever love and miss you Mom Walter, Pat & Lana and our families

She was a wonderful person and through the memories that she gave each of us, she will live on forever in our hearts. We would like to thank, the Lions Club Members, Strathmore Auxiliary Hospital and the Wheatland Funeral Home.

Obituaries
MACLENNAN, William K.
Calgary resident William (Bill) MacLennan died on March 19, 2012, at the Salvation Army Agape Hospice in Calgary, Alberta. At his request, no service will be held. Bill was born April 16, 1932, in Roland, Manitoba, to Lewis James and Annie Lydia MacLennan. He grew up a kind big brother to siblings, Murn and Fern. Bill served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Korean War and earned the nickname, tough old sailor. When he finished his tour of duty, Bill worked as the captain of a seismic exploration vehicle in the Arctic and later as a taxi driver in Calgary where he met his wife, Mila, and became Grandpa Bill to her 5 children, 12 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. In 2000, Bill and Mila moved to Strathmore, just outside Calgary, where they enjoyed retirement in a small town but always near their growing family in Calgary. Bill loved to play golf and was an active member of the Strathmore Golf Club, often playing 27 or 36 holes daily. He made many friends at the club and was able to play his favorite sport until the end of the 2011 season. Bill is survived by his wife of 22 years, Mila; son, Kenneth; brother, Murn MacLennan; sister, Fern Klassen; children, Milandro, Stella, Levi, Lisa and Vic; grandchildren, Ian, Sachi, Simon, Bryan, Carmen, Arielle, Ben, Sam, Sarah, Sharon, Serena and Aaron; and great-grandchildren, Jasmine, Percy, Ayza and Amelie. His grandchildren fondly remember his world-famous mashed potatoes and the banana pancakes he would make and deliver to them on his regular visits to Calgary. To send condolences, please visit www.wheatlandfuneralhome. ca. WHEATLAND FUNERAL HOME LTD. (Strathmore) in care of arrangements. 403-934-5666.
