Bisons future in
Strathmore uncertain
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

Having a vast draw zone has always been beneficial

for the Foothills CFR Chemicals Bisons, but in the end,
it might be the mitigating factor that sends them out the
Skating Club shines door.
The future of the Bisons is an ambiguous one, in re-
gards to where the three-time defending Chrysler division
champs will call home next season.
Page 19 Every few years we evaluate and review various areas
of our program, said Hockey Alberta senior manager of
communications Brad Lyon. This year we are reviewing
male triple-A hockey and the overall layout across the
entire province.
The first item on Hockey Albertas agenda is to see if
the South East Athletic Club Tigers and Lethbridge Hurri-
canes will merge into one team. The registration numbers
in Medicine Hats draw zone are the lowest in the prov-
ince. A merger has been proposed by both organizations,
as Hockey Alberta determines a new location for the pro-
Bisons win posed team.
south championship At the very opposite end of the spectrum is the Airdrie
Elite draw zone, which the Bisons fall under, which has
the healthiest registration numbers in the province.
Hockey Alberta released the registration numbers for
each zone, dating back to the 2012-2013 season. In the
past five seasons, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat have fin-
ished in the bottom two for registered players each year,
except in the 2015-2016 season when Medicine Hat saw
six more players register than the Lloydminster zone.
587-316-2000 Medicine Hat has averaged 277 kids and Lethbridge has
averaged 276.
See our ad on Page 5
Aside from the big city zones of Calgary and Edmonton,
the Airdrie Elite zone has registered anywhere between
200-300 more players each year than the next closest
zone, averaging 740 kids per year.

Strathmore native publishes cookbook

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
Nearly 18 years after graduating from
Strathmore High School, Kristy Gard-
ner has released her first cookbook
Cooking with Cocktails.
Gardner came upon her passion al-
most by accident. After graduating high
school, she attended the University
of Victoria where she accidently en-
rolled in a Womans Studies class which
rocked [her] world and taught her
that food [is] more than just something
to put in [her] mouth.
Gardner lives in Vancouver where
she maintains her popular food blog
She Eats. In the blog, Gardner talks
about food, shares recipes she has
created and posts photographs of the
meals she has invented and created.
She focuses on the ethics of how food
is produced and about food politics.
One and a half years ago, Gardner
was approached by publisher Coun-
tryman Press to photograph the cov-
ers of two cookbooks the publishing
company was working on. At the end
of the discussion, Gardners editor, Ann
Triestman, offered Gardner her own
cookbook deal.
I [created] all the recipes and took
the photographs. It was important to
me that the book tell the story I wanted
to tell, said Gardner. I wanted food
and drink to be delicious and elevated,
but still approachable and fun. I wanted
folks to try something new while still
feeling comfortable in something famil-
iar. I wanted to sit down with them at
their dinner table.
The book contains 100 recipes that
have been tested, photographed and
curated. Some of the dishes are adult
versions of childhood favourites, oth-
ers are new that have been concocted
throughout Gardners creative process.
Some of them are quick and easy, while
others take more time and care.
The book itself is 100 spirited reci-
pes and every single dish has booze
infused somewhere along the way,
said Gardner. Each one also has a cor-
responding, full-page image so read-
ers can see what the final dishes look
like, and in the sidebar, youll find what
Ive termed tipsy tips suggestions for
pairings, substitutions and other help-
ful tidbits.
The book is a coupling of (food and
alcohol in every recipe) alcohol co-
zies food and food cozies alcohol.
Gardner said growing up in Strath-
more helped her grow into the per-
son she is today. Lessons she learned
in Strathmore are written on the pages
throughout her book.
Small town values are firmly planted
in my core, said Gardner. Politeness,
hard work, loyalty, family, simplicity,
good quality whiskey and country mu-
sic. I talk about all these in my cook-
book. It was small town living and I
think theres something humble and
beautiful about that.
Along with creating content for her
cookbook and running and maintain-
ing her blog, Gardner spends her work-
ing hours as the owner and operator
of a design content, branding and men-
toring business, Peppercorn Creative,
where she helps bloggers, entrepre-
neurs and small businesses to create
profitable brands, beautiful websites,
and engaging content that makes them
money.
Gardner is also a self-proclaimed
bourbonator (like the Terminator but
she targets bourbon), is currently work-
ing on writing a science fiction novel,
and has recently acted in film and on
TV.
If I want to do something, I figure it
out and go do it, she said. People tell

ADELLE ELLIS

cole Brentwood Elementary has
been providing Grade 4 students with
a new fun and educational afterschool
activity.
Design Lab is based off the term
STEAM (science, technology, engineer-
ing, arts and math) which is newer to
education. It is a project that Brent-
wood Grade 6 teacher, Chantelle Keim,
created to let students try new activi-
ties that are geared towards the topics
of STEAM.
The students really enjoy it, said
Keim. My Grade 6 (students) are jeal-
ous that Im not running it for them as
well.
On Feb. 27, students used Makey
Makey boards to create circuits out of
everyday objects that conduct a tiny bit
of electricity, including their own bod-
ies (a Makey Makey is an electronic in-
vention tool and toy that allows users
to connect everyday objects to comput-
er programs). Students created actions
in their laptops and hooked up the
Makey Makey boards to the laptops.
Using different alligator clips hooked
up to certain parts of their board, each
wire represented a different command.
Once the circuit was completed, such
as by students high fiving each other,
then the action would happen. Stu-
dents were able to make a cat on the

PLEASING GOD
Living to please God is easy
to talk about but very difficult
to live out. None of us can
live to please God by our own
strength.
For it is God who works
in you both to will and to
do for His good pleasure -
Philippians 2:13.
What can we do to please
God?
In the Sermon on the Mount,
Jesus taught us to approach
God with a hunger and thirst
for righteousness. That is a
reference to our passion for
God. To please God, we must
intensely desire Him as the
source of our sustenance and
strength.
Jesus also told us to mourn for
our sins and turn away with
vehemence from anything
that offends God. We cannot
please God and still remain
comfortable with sin in our
lives. The person who loves
God, must hate sin.
It is important to remember
that the one who gives us the

desire to live to please God is
the Lord Himself. No matter
how intensely we desire to
please Him, we cannot do it by
ourselves. That is why Jesus
gave us the Holy Spirit our
Helper. Where we are weak,
the Holy Spirit is our strength.
Where we need guidance, the
Holy Spirit is our Teacher. He
lives in us and works in us.
The desire for God must be
in our hearts but the power
to live for God is from the
Holy Spirit. We give Him our
desires and He gives us the
power to do the things that
our hearts passionately long
for.
If you really hunger and thirst
for God, you will be where
He is and where His word is
shared. Make time with Him in
your church today.

New wind power project questioned
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
A Hussar resident is seeking more information
on the environmental impacts of the Wheatland
Wind Project, due for development permit ap-
provals this spring.
Ralph Seeley voiced concerns that have been
mentioned by other residents attending the vari-
ous open houses for the project. Additionally,
Seeley pointed out an important exclusion in the
companys environmental study.
The problem is that the [duck count] survey
took place mid-May to mid-October, completely
missing the early spring and late fall migratory
patterns for waterfowl, he noted. In these times,
our area can see whole sections of land covered
with snow geese. Sieu Lake and surrounding
ponds are filled with Canadian geese, snow geese,
ducks and many other species heading north or
south on their migrations. If you are a farmer or a
hunter, or just have your feet on the ground, you
know that unlike midseason pond ducks or geese
that fly at lower levels between ponds, migratory
birds fly at much higher elevations and it is a mag-
nificent sight to behold as they pass by.
The Seeley family is a generational farm family
in the area since the early 1900s. Seeley said farm-
ers living in the area may see things that perhaps
might be missed by those coming into the county
for industrial or commercial reasons.
In 2013, Environment Canada stated that each
wind turbine kills an average of eight birds per
Bisons nearly extinct in Town of Strathmore
Continued from Page 1
The very details and geographic lines of the
new draw zones are still being ironed out, but
a final answer should be coming down the pipe
relatively soon.
We dont know what each draw zone will look
like just yet, said president of the Foothills asso-
ciation Dave Attwood. Somewhere in the draw
zone could host another team. There is interest in
having those teams play out of Okotoks and Aird-
rie. But nothing is official yet.
Having two midget AAA draw zones creates a
problem for the Bisons, who have played out of
Strathmore since the early 1990s.
Strathmore could fall within Okotoks draw
zone. With Okotoks receiving their own team for
next season, it isnt likely that one zone would
host two teams.
If Strathmore falls outside of the Okotoks draw
zone, remaining in the Airdrie Elite zone, there is
some serious talk about Airdrie wanting to bring
the Bisons home. The Bisons have always been
carded out of Airdrie, despite playing all of their
home games in Strathmore.
Mark Bishop, the Wheatland Athletic Associa-
tion representative, was a little curious about the
committees timing in making the move to rear-
range the zones.
The hockey will get somewhat weaker with
more teams in the zone. It just begs the question,
why now? said Bishop. Is it because of the suc-
cess the Bisons are having now?
The Bisons just reached the Alberta Midget
Hockey League final and are fresh off the best
Adelle Ellis Photo
year, and a 2016 study estimated about 14 bats
per year per turbine are killed, both influencing
the natural food chain balances.
Seeley said the Wheatland Wind Project is on a
migratory flyway and he wondered if there is any
wisdom approving a development for an indus-
trial activity in migratory zones. He asked council
to take time to investigate the environmental im-
pacts further.
After all, we have seen projects, even county
projects, shut down while environmental studies
are done on things, like the protection of snails,
said Seeley. The Town of High River flooded
while we waited for a study on the tadpoles under
the CPR bridges, and countless studies and delays
to approve any oil and gas projects. Now Green-
gate expects speedy approval of their project with
only an incomplete environmental study in hand.
While wind energy is marketed as a green initia-
tive, many people consider costs associated with
the manufacture and installation of the materials
used in the 400-foot towers decreases the green
value.
Seeley would like to see more information on
road impacts and land disturbance, and whether
the facility will decrease property values and in-
crease utility costs in the area. He said the project
would affect agriculture, as the towers eliminate
the use of aerial services for crop and pest con-
trol.
The project boundaries take in 14,000 acres of
agricultural land, with one to two acres designat-
ed per turbine.
regular season campaign since moving to a 34-
game schedule.
Airdrie has already expressed an appetite to
house the team. The only scenario for the Bisons
to stay in Strathmore would be if they stayed in
the Airdrie draw zone and Airdrie allows the team
to stay put, said Bishop.
I highly doubt that the Bisons will be in
Strathmore next year.
If the changes result in the Bisons staying in the
Airdrie Elite draw zone, Todd Slaney, vice presi-
dent of High Performance Airdrie Minor Hockey,
can see the Ron Ebbesen arena be the new home
for the Herd.
Theres a 100 per cent chance we would like
to get the Bisons up here, if the draw zones allow
it, said Slaney.
Strathmore residents wont be receiving any
support from the AMHL offices on helping keep
the Bisons.
Airdrie owns the franchise, said Olynyk.
Where they play is up to Airdrie. Its a zone team,
where they play is none of the leagues business.
If the Bisons leave, it will leave a void in the
community.
We havent had any confirmation that this is
going to happen. We have our fingers crossed
that this doesnt happen, said Strathmore mayor
Michael Ell. The hockey players have been very
good in our community, they are a part of the high
school and they are an asset to this community.
In the meantime, Bison fans will just have to
wait until further meetings are held regarding the
zone changes to determine the location of future
teams.

County makes headway with CGM concerns

SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Wheatland County is making head-
way in the fight to support rural con-
cerns in the Calgary Growth Manage-
ment (CGM) board proceedings.
According to Alan Parkin, Wheatland
County CAO, the County is making
some progress in reducing some of the
area covered under the CGM board. He
said he will further the cause when he
meets with Municipal Affairs staff at
the Association of Alberta Municipal
Districts and Counties (AAMDC) meet-
ing.
We strongly want to have more than
one elected official at the [CGM] meet-
ings, he noted. If it is restricted to
only one [representative], then we be-
lieve that everyone should be restricted
to one and not do what Calgary did
and send three representatives to the
meeting. I believe that is fair and cor-
rect. If everyone is going to be treated
equally, then treat everyone equally.
Parkin said county staff were attend-
ing weekly meetings of the CGM and
putting in a lot of time and money to
present concerns. Although no staff
increases for Wheatland County are
anticipated at this time, he mentioned
that other counties have asked for
more staff, to meet the obligations of
attending meetings in the future.
The Edmonton Regional Growth
board had about 45 meetings last year,
and in the first year or two we expect
that to be similar here, he noted.
At the end of March or beginning of
April, the proposed draft regulation
will be presented to representatives of
council. After that, a two-month public
consultation process will begin.
Parkin said the CGM board has pro-
tected the minutes of the meetings,
stating they are private and protected
from public view; but Parkin said he
feels they should be more transparent
and available to the public.
Town of Strathmore and the City of
Chestermere have sent a letter of sup-
port for Wheatland County concerns to
the Minister of Municipal Affairs.

livery and reception speed is as crucial
grant, they may not upgrade service.
CARBON CREDITS
Innovative thinking is set to net a lo-
cal leaseholder some additional pocket
change, in a sale to recapture carbon
credits.
Wheatland County currently owns
a quarter section of which 40 acres is
used for sand resources. It leases the
remaining acres on the quarter to a
local farmer. The leaseholder wants
to sell carbon-offset credits from his
no-till crop technique on the land he
farms to an aggregator who, in turn,
sells them to industries in need of car-
bon credits.
In 2016, Lorraine Lynch, a spokes-
person for Alberta Agriculture and For-
estry, listed carbon prices at $15 per
tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent,
with offset credit value to farmers at
54 to 80 cents per acre, in the brown
and dark brown soil zones, and $1 to
$1.60 per acre in the black and gray
soil zones.
The 40-acre sand pit is recently ex-
hausted, and when the property is re-
claimed, the lease will be reviewed by
the county.
WHEATLAND TAX ASSESSMENTS
General tax assessments for 2016
came in at $4,146,408,650, which is
down from 2015.
A piece of good news, if you take
this as good news, the drop in our
assessments base was only a drop of
about $122 million, not $192 million,
said Brian Henderson, Wheatland
Countys general manager of corporate
and financial services.
The assessment is used for the 2017
taxation season.
Residential property numbers in-
creased, but farmland, machinery and
equipment, and non-residential land
decreased in 2016. There were an addi-
tional 1,227 market value-added sites,
under oilfield properties, that will gen-
erate an approximate increase of $50
million in assessments under industri-
al properties; however, it is expected
some of those assessments will be ap-
pealed and reviewed.
On April 4, county financials and au-
dited statements will be presented in
council.
are some water and bathroom services
currently existing at the proposed vil-
lage centre site that may be adequate
for uses such as a convenience store or
other business opportunity. There are
also wastewater cistern holding tanks
on the site.
Wheatland County council granted
approval for second, third and final
reading of the bylaw.
Council followed the approval with
discussions on the undeveloped prop-
erties in cell seven and eight of the cur-
rent discretionary plan. Old issues in
the area are a priority to fix, so council
stated that no new development ap-
proval could occur in certain designat-
ed cells, to ensure further construction
cannot take place before wastewater
treatment solutions are in place.
The new approval and changes will
be brought forward to the next Wheat-
land County Committee of the Whole
meeting.

ENVIRONMENT PLAN ACCEPTED
An environmental plan started in
2016 appeared before Wheatland
County council for approval on March
14.
The plan has three key components:
structure covering strategic direc-
tion, planning timelines, administra-
tion responsibilities and organization;
an action plan based on a three-year
template with quarterly reporting pro-
gram; and, reporting of recent Wheat-
land County environment successes.
Building on the successes of previ-
ous environmental projects and pro-
gramming, the environmental plan will
allow Wheatland County to streamline
the environmental projects, and im-
prove and showcase the environmen-
tal leadership of the municipality, said
Alyssa Cumberland, Wheatland County
environment coordinator.

Over the years, Wheatland County
councillors have received many com-
ments from residents and business
owners that rural Internet service
needs improvement. One of the cur-
rent providers in the rural area is CCI
Wireless.
Over the past seven years, CCI Wire-
less has deployed an advanced Alberta-
owned, rural high-speed Internet net-

stated Wheatland County Reeve Glenn
Koester. The CCI Wireless network
connects many of our residents and
businesses to the Internet, and Wheat-
land County supports their efforts
to increase bandwidth in our under-
served area.
CCI Wireless, in turn, has asked
Wheatland County to lend written en-
dorsement in their application for a
federal grant request.
We have only received a request
from CCI Wireless so far, to apply for
the rural Internet upgrade through the
federal program that was announced,
said Wheatland CAO Alan Parkin.
They have not applied as yet, but they
will apply. There is an advantage to
the residents in the Gleichen area. [CCI

they get the grant. If they dont get the

CANADA 150 PLANNING BEGINS
The Town of Strathmores Canada 150 commit-
tee has nailed down some interesting events for
the Strathmore and area public Canada 150 cel-
ebrations.
According to Tracy Simpson, Town of Strath-
mores community services manager, the commit-
tee requested and received $15,000 to book con-
cert retainers and merchandise purchases for the
event.
The Western District Historical Society will be
featuring the On This Spot smartphone app at the
seniors week celebration, which Simpson said fit
nicely with celebrating this areas historic past.
Leaning back to an established western family
tradition, a Sunday family picnic is in the works
for July 2, with family games, pie auction and res-
taurants selling picnic lunches and baskets for
families to enjoy.
A battle of the bands is planned for Aug. 25-27,
with space for 36 bands in the competition. The
top six bands will be judged by a panel of local
judges. The winner opens for Juno breakout artist
Tyler Shaw and performer Lyndsay Butler in a fi-
nal evening performance. Golden West Broadcast-
ing is being retained for the event.
The total budget is expected to run about
$60,000 and revenue from the event is expected
to cover costs.
The goal of the committee is to keep ticket
sales low, about $30, so everyone can participate,
said Simpson.
Some other ideas were a get-to-know-your-
neighbour event, community merchandising and
market, and a commemorative medallion given to
2017 graduating students.
Simpson said anyone wishing to help plan
events can contact the town office.
FEE AMENDMENTS FOR FIRE, PROTECTIVE
SERVICES
The original fire and protective services fee
schedule was drafted in 2014, and Chief Muir
Furzer brought changes to the bylaw for town
council approval on March 15.
It is looking at enhancing our ability to provide
technical response and advice, best safety prac-
tices, public education material to businesses and
organizations that we are able to, or required to
provide in the community, said Furzer.
He said the new fees and services overcome
some of the restrictive parts of the earlier bylaw.
He hopes in this way to give more support to
businesses that may be at higher risk in the com-
munity.
Yearly fire inspections have no fee; however, li-
censing inspections for the business or insurance
purposes would fall under the fees.

New filmmaking opportunities for Strathmore High School
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
Students at Strathmore High School (SHS) will
soon be learning about independent filmmaking.
According to Paula Richardson, drama and
dance teacher at SHS, independent filmmaker
Wayne Bradford of the Calgary Independent Film-
makers Society suggested the idea.
Mr. Bradford approached me about his idea to
teach the kids about filmmaking. I am really excit-
ed for the kids, said Richardson, who added that
interest in the field may be generated because the
film industry in Calgary and in Alberta is growing.
The class, comprised of 12 students, was created
in early March. On March 3, the class visited the
Calgary Film Centre where Bradford showed them
the set of a movie he is currently working on. Two
scenes were being filmed using two actresses and
around 20 behind-the-scenes people.
The students were able to see first-hand what
goes into the production of a film. They learned
many things, including how to properly light a
set and that a scene must be filmed from differ-
ent angles. The class learned how to change a
Strathmore Chamber moving forward
JILL CROSSLAND
Strathmore & District Chamber of Commerce
Marketing & Communications Director
The Strathmore Chamber is working on a busy
year, from participating in Canadas big 150th
birthday to a fun fundraiser in November.
There will be a Small Business Week Gala on
Oct. 19 with guest speaker Todd Hirsch. Hirsch is
ATB Financials Chief Economist and one of the
countrys most sought-after speakers on the econ-
omy. He is often invited to provide economic com-
mentary for CBC, CTV and the BBC, among others,
so his view point on Albertas economy and the
future of small business will be enlightening.
We are also working on a three part presenta-
tion for our Ask the Expert series. This will take
place in May with Darlis Collinge helping local
businesses to Know Your Business. Discover Your
Ideal Client.
She will bring her 20 plus years of community
and business development experience to the ta-
ble as she takes business owners from identifying
their ideal client to methods for attracting them.
More details to come.
The chamber is holding their AGM on March 30,
7 p.m. in the Chuck Mercer Room (Strathmore Civ-
ic Centre). The AGM is an opportunity for people
to network with the current board, and provide
feedback and suggestions. There will be reports
from our 2016 year and on the chambers plans
and goals for 2017.

The formal filmmaking class takes place after
school once a week in a three-hour timeslot. The
12 students will be working with Bradford and
other independent filmmakers throughout the
rest of the school year to create their own short
film, using equipment supplied by the indepen-
dent filmmakers and based on a script written by
Bradford.
The goal of the class is to generate (a film) idea,
find the funds, get it all organized and then shoot
the film. Hopefully after it is all edited it is going
to be entered into film festivals, said Richardson,
who added that each student will receive a credit

We also encourage you to think about joining
the Chamber Board of Directors. Solo entrepre-
neur, store owner, accountant, realtor, dentist,
community member; whatever your role is in help-
ing to make Strathmore and area grow and thrive,
consider being a part of this vital business organi-
zation. We will be accepting board nominations at
the March 30 AGM and require a resume be sub-
mitted prior to the April 12 board meeting. If you
have any questions contact Barbara Armstrong:

Visit our website for the full AGM agenda. Cof-
fee and pastries from Mousse Cake Sally will be
served.
As the Marketing Director for the chamber my
goal was to improve how the chamber commu-
nicated with its members and the business com-
munity. With that in mind I have assisted in the
development of a new chamber website, provided
updates for the website, expanded the reach of
both the Facebook and Twitter pages, ensured
that the print media has consistent ads plus writ-
ten and sent out the newsletters. This is my last
column for the Times; it is now time for these du-
ties to be turned over to another board member(s)
so I can dedicate more time to my marketing and
consulting business.
It has been a great pleasure to work with the
current chamber board; a group of hard working,
ethical and dedicated people.

Times Reporter
One of Crowther Memorial Junior High Schools
(CMJHS) most popular option programs, the Ca-
reer Technology Foundation (CTF) wood shop
class, received a generous donation of tools from
the Strathmore Walmart.
The wood shop class teaches approximately
60 Grade 8-9 students each day. With that many
students working in the shop creating projects,
some smaller tools can quickly become worn and
sometimes damaged.
The donation of the tools, including hammers,
wrench sets, power saws, drill bits and tool box-
es, ensures students have tools essential to creat-
ing their projects and offers them the opportu-
nity to work with some new tools
Were so appreciative of the donation. It came
out of the blue at one of those perfect times,
said Colin Lenox, associate principal at CMJHS.
When you get a donation like this its a relief
and its nice to know that you have some corpo-
rate entities that are willing to look out for you.
Lenox said the wood shop is an expensive pro-
gram, so when they receive donations, it allows
the school to be able to focus on other things
such as updating machines. In addition, getting
extra tools makes the process faster, and receiv-
ing different tools lets the school offer a wider
range of programming.

Planning for tourism in Strathmore

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The Town of Strathmore is hoping a
tourism workshop held this past week
will jumpstart some tourism ideas for
the town and area.
Facilitated by Canadian Badlands,
Strathmore town council hosted the
tourism planning workshop on March
21, where representatives from differ-
ent organizations and businesses in
Strathmore shared ideas to create a uni-
fied tourism plan for the area.
The free workshop is the first in a
lengthy process of identifying the type
of tourism Strathmore wants to bring in
and how to grow tourism within Strath-
ments arent just made here and there,
but that a development marketing or-
ganization is created and a plan is se-
cured before any updates or changes
are made.
The town council wants to see
some tourism development happening
in town on more of an organized and
focused level instead of as individual
development, said Simpson. We also
want to create a development market-
ing organization so this (workshop)
is the first step: bring stakeholders to-
gether to look at what we have here,
what we need here and how we can
more forward.
Representatives attending the work-
shop included members of town coun-

cole Brentwood French immersion program a first

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
cole Brentwood Elementary School
is the first school in Strathmore to of-
fer a fully integrated French immersion
program.
The first year of the program took
place during the 2016-2017 year when
a combined class was created with five
kindergarten students and 20 Grade 1
students.
Next year, a new teacher will be hired
to teach the Grade 1 students who will
be moving into Grade 2. The school is
currently accepting students to start
French immersion in kindergarten or
Grade 1.
Ive gotten mostly positive feed-
back from parents. (The kids) love it
and theyre catching on really quickly,
said Claire Berenger, kindergarten and
Grade 2 French immersion teacher.
Its amazing how they respond to the
vocabulary. Their vocabulary and writ-
ing is coming along well and they love
singing songs (in French).
Notice of Public Hearing
The program is a fully integrated
French immersion program in which
students learn completely in French.
English is not used except on the off
chance there is an emergency, to make
sure students understand the situation.
Berenger talks in French 100 per cent
of the time to her students, and she en-
courages students to talk to each oth-
er in French if they know the words.
This is so students can get a good ba-
sis of understanding all the vocabulary
orally. In the recent semester, they also
worked on writing in French.
Berenger teaches the students strate-
gies of how to read and write in French,
and when the students go home, their
parents do the work to teach them how Twenty-five kindergarten and Grade 1 students are enrolled in the cole Brentwood Elementary French

Sometimes the object of the hatred

Muir, who is also the schools educa-

Lovers of authentic music are invited
to attend a performance by the T. Buck-
ley Trio on April 1 at the Strathmore
Golf Course.
The event is being presented by the
Strathmore Musical Arts Society (SMAS).
These guys have been on my ra-
dar for a few years now, said Norman
Gavey, vice-president of the SMAS.
(Buckley) is a really strong songwriter;
most of his songs are based off a local
prairie feeling.
The SMAS was created by a group of
individuals hoping to share their love
of music through the promotion of inti-
mate music events that speak to a wide
range of tastes. The previous show
hosted by SMAS involved a band with
louder music and all upbeat covered
songs. The T. Buckley Trio is more laid
back.
Its going to be nice and not too
loud, said Charlotte Wilson of SMAS.
Youll be able to hear the words and
listen to the guitar picking and all that.
It will be a quieter night of listening,
good food and enjoying it all.
The T. Buckley Trio was formed by
Tim Buckley (lead vocalist and prin-
cipal songwriter) and Derek Pulliam
(stand-up bass and vocals) when they
met while at a jam in Calgary. The two

val. In 2016, the trio played about 120
shows.
We have a pretty broad repertoire of
original and cover material, said Buck-
ley. We sort of borrow from rock n
roll, blues (and) country, and fold in
our writing and performance. Theres
lots of three-part harmony and we
share the lead vocals between us quite
a bit.
Buckley said the group is not shy
about playing cover tunes.
We feel like its an important part of
the craft; learning other peoples tunes
and presenting them well, he said. Its
also a great way of connecting with an
audience and giving them some con-
text as to our musical background and
influence as a band.
Buckley added that the audience can
expect a high energy, fun and diverse
show, and that the trios musical com-
patibility, respect and admiration for
each other comes across on stage dur-
ing their performances.

That was Wheatland Chiefs forward Chayse Hnatowichs
message after sweeping the Airdrie Lighting 2-0 in the South
Central Alberta Hockey League best-of-three final.
The local double-A midget team wrapped up their third
straight league title by grounding the Lightning 3-1 March 18
at the Ron Ebbesen Arena.
This is a great feeling. They deserve everything theyve
worked for this year, said Chiefs head coach Evan Barlow.
The framework for the league title began in the first period
in Game 2 when, for the second straight game, the Lightning
jumped out to an early 1-0 lead.
The Lightning were a bit of a surprise to come out of the
North division and tried to wear down the Chiefs defensive
core early by dumping the puck in and following it up with
a suppressing forecheck.
One-goal leads dont faze the high-octane Chiefs. Even
without their captain Ryan Bell, who was assessed a five-
minute major and a game misconduct for colliding knee-on-
knee with Jordan Hodzic, the Chiefs battled back.
Hnatowich launched a backhander from a sharp angle, as
the rebound cascaded out to Riley Romashenko, who dished
the puck into the open net at the 3:16 mark of the second
frame.
Building off that momentum, Romashenko jammed a Light-
ning clearing attempt along the half-wall, created some space
and sent a sweet feed over to Rob Butterwick at the side of
the net for the easy tap-in.
In the first period, Brett LeGrandeur took a five-minute ma-
jor for tripping, sending the Chiefs to a lengthy power play.
Typically a recipe for disaster, the Chiefs were unable to
muster any goals. Then, with the Lightning on the five-minute
power play for Bells major, the Chiefs delivered the dagger.

Bisons bounce Buffs in double overtime
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter come out on top, even when we are down with
The Foothills CFR Chemicals Bisons three-peat-
ed as Chrysler division champs, finishing off the
Calgary Buffaloes in a dramatic Game 4 of the
Alberta Midget Hockey League semifinals.
With 24.6 seconds remaining in regulation, the
Buffs were dreaming of a Game 5 on home ice,
when Bisons head coach Sandy Henry called a
time out.
The Buffs just iced the puck, with the faceoff
coming to the right of Taylor Gauthier.
The play was to win the faceoff, move the puck
around the wall and get something on net, said
Strathmore product Cole Clayton.
After the faceoff, the puck worked its way be-
hind the net, where Jackson Salt was jamming
away, trying to free it up. From there, the puck
squirted to the left half-wall, and Zach Huber
and Peyton Krebs freed it, with valuable seconds
bleeding from the clock. Krebs hit Clayton on the
blue line with less than 10 seconds remaining.
I dont know how he thought to wait and fake
around him. If that was me, I probably would
have shot it into the guys shin pads, said Bisons
captain Brett Trentham.
Similar to Tyson Terrettas Game 3 double-over-
time winner, Clayton patiently waited for the blitz-
ing shot blocker to slide past him before shooting
on net.
Along its path to the twine, Salt made contact
with it, striking it down and into the back of the
net with 5.5 seconds remaining.
The packed Strathmore Family Centre exploded
as the Bisons bench went nuts.
You could feel waves of sound at that point.
It was crazy in there tonight, said Bisons head
coach Sandy Henry.
It only made sense that those two teams were
destined for overtime.
Each game was a one-goal game, with great
play making and even greater goaltending.
Gauthier was the 10th pick by the Prince George
Cougars during the 2016 WHL draft, but he was
outplayed by the AJHL Canmore Eagles prospect,
Ben Laidlaw.
Time after time, he found a way to come up
with huge saves against the leagues top offence,
frustrating them at crucial moments. He finished
the series with a 1.50 goals against average and
a .961 save percentage, recorded 146 saves (36.5
saves per game) and out-duelled one of the top
young goaltending prospects in Western Canada.
If you put too much pressure on yourself,
youre probably going to lose, said Laidlaw. I
just needed to focus on stopping the next one,
then the next one and then the next one. It also
helps when youre on a team like this. Im pretty
March 24, 2017 Strathmore TIMES Page 19
confident in this group and that they are going to
five seconds left.
Laidlaw was the main reason the Buffs went
0-for-15 on the power play in the series, including
50 seconds of a five-on-three power play in the
second period.
The guy is so composed. Ive never seen that in
a guy. Theres no rattle, but big battle. Its tough to
find guys that have both like that. Hes a special,
special kid, said Henry.
The Bisons were 3-0 in overtime this playoffs
heading into the Game 4 extra frames, and 48
hours removed from another thrilling double-
overtime victory at the Cardel Rec South arena. It
followed a similar blueprint to the Bisons Game
2 win in the quarterfinals against the Calgary
Flames.
In that game, Tyson Scott tied it with 15.6 sec-
onds remaining, before Brandon Machado won it The Foothills CFR Chemicals Bisons eliminated the Calgary Buffaloes in
with a tap in during overtime. four thrilling games during the Alberta Midget Hockey League division finals,
Machado had the magic touch once again, this advancing to the league finals for the third consecutive year. They meet the
time in double overtime, thanks to the James Nor- Leduc Chrysler Oil Kings.
ris Memorial trophy-worthy vision from Clayton. Doug Taylor Photo
Just over nine minutes into the second overtime,
the Buffs were looking to break out of their zone.
Thats when Clayton pinched and kept the puck
in.
Finding himself on a 2-on-1 with Machado, he
drove to the net.
I was standing on the bench, yelling at Macha-
do to back up; I thought he was too close for Cole
to get the puck over to him, said Henry.
Skating in as tight as he could, Clayton feath-
ered the puck underneath the stick of the kneel-
ing defenseman over to Machado.
Their guy wasnt laying down, so there was
a tiny triangle underneath the stick that I could
fit the puck through. I think the goalie was get-
ting ready for me to shoot because I was in so
tight. Thats probably why he couldnt slide over
in time, said Clayton.
You cant teach that stuff, its something theyre
wired with, said Henry, about Claytons play-
making ability in the clutch.
He hit Machado, who delivered his second tap-
in overtime winner of the playoffs, as the Strath-
more Family Centre went into bedlam.
Hes a great player and has great patience. He
made a great pass; after that, everything turned
into a blur, said Machado.
The players stormed the ice as parents and fans
smacked the glass, some even climbing the glass,
hanging over the top in celebration.
On the other half of the bracket, the Leduc
Chrysler Oil Kings swept the top-ranked Sher-
wood Park J. Ennis Kings in the league semis.
Winner advances to the Pacific championships
in B.C. for a chance to head to the Telus Cup.

Strathmore Ice capture Zone 2 title
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
It took nearly a month to crown the U19B Zone
2 ringette champion, but the Strathmore Ice finally
took home the title March 19 at their home rink.
After dropping the first game of the best-of-three
final back in February, the Ice stormed back into
the series by clipping the AC Thunder 5-3 March
11 in Cochrane.
Short three players, the Ice managed to level
the series thanks to Maddy Wheeler, an affiliated
player from the U16A team, who scored four times
in Game 2.

Oil Kings pick up major win in Game 1
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter have a disciplined forecheck and plugged us up
Last series, the Foothills CFR Chemicals Bisons
penalty killers snuffed out the Calgary Buffaloes
power play all 15 times.
In Game 1 of the Alberta Midget Hockey League
finals, the Leduc Chrysler Oil Kings capitalized
twice on a five-minute power play, to clip the Bi-
sons 3-1 March 19 at the Strathmore Family Cen-
tre.
Rarely does defenseman Cayde Augustine join
the rush. When Tyson Scott and Blake Wells broke
out, he saw an opening to contribute offensively.
Scott hit him with a touch pass in the slot, but
Easton Hesse was there to turn him away.
At the end of the play, Augustine had his feet
swept out from underneath him as his 6-foot-1
frame went barreling into the goaltender. He was
dealt a five-minute major for charging and a game
misconduct. The game misconduct meant that he
would be suspended for Game 2 in Leduc.
We watched the video during the intermission
and [Cayde] kind of put himself in a tough spot.
He tried to go to the backhand instead of just
shooting it, which got him a little tangled up and
made it difficult for him to stop, said Bisons as-
sistant coach Paden Grant.
The Oil Kings power play was operating at a
14.3 per cent clip this postseason before Augus-
tines major.
We used a time out to go over things and make
a couple changes, knowing it was a five minute
power play and not just a two minute minor, said
Oil Kings head coach Taylor Harnett. That power
play was a big reason why we are walking out of
here with a win today.
Tied 1-1 in the second, Tyler Schendel hit the
post from the right faceoff dot. The puck worked
its way around to him again, and picked the cor-
ner over Ben Laidlaws right shoulder with 1:38
remaining on the major penalty.
We made a couple mental mistakes on that
penalty kill that we werent making in the Buffs
series. We seemed a little bit mentally tired; the
mind was going but the hands couldnt catch up,
said Grant.
Nearly one minute later, Tyson Terrettas clear-
ing attempt appeared to hit Peyton Krebs in the
back, keeping the puck in the zone as Oil Kings
affiliated player Dillon Hamaliuk pounced on it,
finding the back of the net with 21 seconds left
on the major and at the 19:13 mark of the second
period.
The Bisons hadnt seen the Oil Kings since Oc-
tober, when they swept the season series follow-
ing a 5-1 and 3-2 victory.
Since the Macs AAA Midget Hockey Tourna-
ment break, the Oil Kings transformed into a dif-
ferent team.
Spartans compete
at provincials
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore High School Spartans senior
girls basketball team made waves in Medicine Hat
during the Alberta Schools Athletic Association 3A
provincials over the weekend.
After capturing their second South Central Zone
championship, the Spartans headed to provincials
ranked 10th in the province and looking to make
good after their winless trip back in the 2013-2014
season.
This was an absolutely positive experience for
the girls. It was always a goal of ours to make pro-
vincials and do a little bit of damage, and we were
able to accomplish that, said Spartans head coach
Dion Galandy.
The Spartans knocked off the seventh-ranked
Strathcona Christian Academy Eagles 62-58 March
16, led by Brianna Kennedys barrage of threes
and trips to the free throw line.
Ffyona Gibson-Smith chipped in 11 points, while
Sydney Boyd racked up nine points and Tatum
Wathen supplied six points.

Their effort level was really high tonight. They
the middle of the ice. We are going to have to go
back to the video tapes and see how we can ad-
just to their style of game, said Bisons head coach
Sandy Henry.
They wrapped up the season winning four of
their last five, before knocking out the divisions
top two seeds in the playoffs and are currently
riding a five-game winning streak.
We are a different team from the one the Bi-
sons played in October. It was a matter of hav-
ing our players buy into the philosophy. It took
a while for us to create our identity and realize
the potential we have in this locker room, said
Harnett.
As anticipated, the Bisons got off to a slow start,
following their epic four-game series with the Cal-
gary Buffaloes that featured two heart-stopping
double-overtime games. The Family Centre was
just as packed, but wasnt able to reproduce the
same energy that powered the Bisons to their
Game 4 win.
The Oil Kings opened the game by coming
down the ice and popping one past Laidlaw. Jack
Sander sent the initial shot on net. Laidlaw tried
corralling the rebound with three Oil Kings jam-
ming away at the loose puck, before Jaden York
wedged it home at the 4:57 mark of the first pe-
riod.
The Bisons got on board when Airdrie product
Brandon Machado intercepted a blue line pass
from Cole Lewis to Colby Wolter on the power
play. Machado was off to the races, beating Hesses
low blocker for his fourth of the postseason at the
6:40 mark of the second stanza.
The line of Machado, captain Brett Trentham

WCCRA hands out cash and prizes at finals
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The Wheatland Cowboys and Cowgirls Rodeo Association
(WCCRA) hosted finals on March 18 at the Lausen indoor
arena, with $10,000 in prizes and cash handed out.
Throughout the past five months, 56 young cowboys and
cowgirls between the ages of two and 18 have been compet-
ing in a combined 12 events, split between three age groups.
Events include barrel racing, thread the needle, goat tying
and untying, pole bending, steer daubing, live and dummy
breakaway, dummy and live roping, dummy and live team
roping.
The (kids) get a bond with their horse younger, said
Brandy Schiffner, treasurer of the WCCRA. Horses are large
animals so working with them gives them a lot of confidence
which then carries through to other aspects in their lives.
According to the WCCRA, spending time with the asso-
ciation provides youth the opportunity to learn compassion,
responsibility, confidence and sportsmanship. The kids learn
to look after and listen to their horses, and to communicate
in their own way with their horses to be able to compete in
the rodeo events.
The young rodeo stars have been meeting every second
Sunday since October to compete and to practice rodeo
events. Each youth rodeo is treated like a regular rodeo
where the kids with the best scores for each event win cash.
Throughout the year, the kids have been accumulating
points and times from each event. The overall winners from
each event were recognized at a banquet on March 19 where
they won buckles, horse blankets and halters.
Winners from each event and age group include:
Barrel racing: 8 and under A - Rhys Brosz; 8 and under B
- Taylor Hall; 9-12 A - Lexi Kathol; 9-12 B - Taya Sharpley; 13
and over A - Paige Sibbet; 13 and over B - Jaelyn Bec.

Storm set for provincial showdown on home ice
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter They wrap up round-robin play March 25 at 1 p.m. on the
Most teams would be happy enough knowing they are
hosting a provincial championship and will participate as
the host team. But not the Strathmore Midget A Storm.
The Storms season turned around once their provincial
status cemented when they were given the rights to host
provincials back in December.
Doug Raycrofts crew turned things around, and swept the
top-ranked Stettler Lightning in the Central Alberta Hockey
League final.
We didnt want to be just another host team in provin-
cials, said Raycroft. Stettler won the provincials last year
and they had a lot of players back on the team this year, but
we kept growing each game as a team and took it to them.
Nobody in our locker room was surprised by the result.
The Storm polished off the Lightning 2-1 March 17 and
wrapped up the series with a 4-2 victory March 18.
All that leads up to the provincial championships at the

Lauri-Ann (Randy) Lowe, Janice Steinhubl (Rick Pi-

to ride while not competing with the main rodeo season in
