Last week the Fraser Institute released their re-

Chamber excited port card on Alberta Schools. Some of Strathmore’s
schools did not fair well according to the report,
for 2011
which focused on elementary schools. The average
rating for the Strathmore area, which is based on the
past five years, states that the area is below average.
Page 19 “The Fraser Institute seeks to define quality ed-
ucation and good schools in terms of single test
scores, despite the fact that multiple-choice, ma-
chine-scored, paper-pencil standardized exams can
only measure a fraction of the intended learning
outcomes in the Program of Studies,” said Super-
intendent for Golden Hills School Division Dianne
McBeth.
McBeth said Alberta Education annually monitors
results for each jurisdiction and their schools on a
variety of measures linked to the four broad goals

measures, and de-contextualizes them, to produce a
ranking of schools,” said McBeth.
Page 22 “For reasons of integrity, the analysis, interpreta-
tion, use and communication of results should ad-
here to the purposes for which they were intended.”
Every school considers results achieved as a basis
for developing a three year Education Plan, which is
reviewed annually. McBeth said when viewing the
Fraser rankings, it’s important to think about what
is and isn’t being measured and reported.
“The problem with the Fraser Institute report is

City status shelved
for another 6 months
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Council for the Town of
Strathmore is shelving the
idea of changing from a
town to city status – for time
being anyway.
The possibility of switch-
ing Strathmore’s status was
discussed during the regular
council meeting on March
16.
A change requires a mo-
tion from council requesting
the Minister of Municipal Af-
fairs to modify it.
There was concern about
whether jurisdiction over
Highway 817would be given
to the town. Administration
met with Alberta Transpor-
tation representatives on
March 16.
“According to the meet-
ing with the fellow this af-
ternoon, he mentioned that
he does not believe that 817
would be a penetrator high-
way,” said Deputy Chief Ad-
ministrative Officer Linda
Nelson.
“So we would have control
and we would be respon-
sible for the maintenance:
capital operating costs for
817.”

At 1:40 a.m. on March 22 a fire raged through a home at
the corner of Briarwood Road and Briarwood Crescent
in Strathmore. Four neighbouring homes were evacuated

writing before agreeing to
anything. He would also like
to have an internal study
done, checking out the pros
and cons involved in gain-
ing city status. He said he
would like to keep it very
transparent for the public.
Councillor Bob Sobol said
he is sure one of the argu-
ments will eventually be that
people have just left the city
to come to a town and that
they don’t want to live in a
city.
“I don’t think we’re at the
size yet that warrants enter-
taining the status of city,”
said Sobol.
“I could certainly be
wrong in that, but I’m just
worried about spending an
awful lot of staff’s time and
money on this project.”
After lengthy discussion
and a defeated motion to re-
examine city status issue in
one year’s time, council vot-
ed in favour of bringing the
issue back to council cham-
bers every six months. All of
council was adamant about
keeping the public informed
and eventually hosting infor-
mation sessions.

H2S AT KinSMen lAKe
With the recent warm weather and melting of snow, the inflow of
stormwater into the Town of Strathmore’s Stormwater System has in-
creased. This increased flow has resulted in the displacement of an-
aerobic water, which is the result of decomposed organics in an oxygen
absent environment under the ice in Kinsmen Lake. Further, this has led
to the formation of H2S gas, which is trapped under the ice on the lake
and only permitted to escape through the outfall under Center Street and
behind Lakeside Views.
The Town of Strathmore and EPCOR Water Services are aware of the
issue and have been monitoring the situation daily for some time. An
approximate 10m perimeter has been established around these outfalls
and the public are asked not to enter the barricaded areas due to risk of
exposure to high levels of H2S gas. The H2S levels outside of the perim-
eter are not considered dangerous or a threat to human health. H2S is
a gas that the human nose has a high sensitivity to, and as such, can be
recognized in extremely low concentrations.
There is very little that can be done currently, other than monitoring,
flushing and venting. The Town and EPCOR will be experimenting with
flushing the culverts in the area, as well as venting the lake following the
Family Day celebrations.
In the event that H2S concentrations increase to a level that is con-
sidered to be of risk, the Town and EPCOR will take necessary steps to
resolve the issue. At this time, this situation is considered low risk, and
more of an inconvenience based on the low concentrations outside of
the immediate vicinity of the outfalls.
Going forward, the Town and EPCOR will investigate what solutions
could be implemented to prevent this situation from reoccurring in the
years to come. Potential long term solutions include chemical treatment
to reduce organics in the lake, an activated carbon filtering solution to
absorb H2S, as well as the implementation of water circulation equip-
ment.
if you have any questions or concerns related to this issue, please do
not hesitate to contact the Town Office at (403) 934-3133.

The Town of Strathmore will celebrate its 100th year anniversary of incorporation on July 6, 2011. 2011 will bring in an excit-

Help
someone Trouble Sleeping at Night?
- today! Insomnia is one of the most common
sleep disorders today. Insomnia is
actually due to excessive stress, due
to which a person gets into a cycle
of sleeplessness. However a person
will feel tired and lethargic, making
them consume a lot of caffeine (coffee,
energy drinks etc.), which again cause
them to evade sleep. Here are a few
ideas that might just help you get a good
night sleep,

1. Schedule a relaxing period such

as a hot bath or shower before going to
sleep, to separate your body from your
day’s stresses
2. Keep your bedroom quiet, dark and
at a cooler temperature
3. Keep a regular schedule by going
to bed at the same time every day and
don’t go to bed until you feel sleepy
4. If you nap in the day and then have
trouble sleeping at night, cut out the nap
all together, so you feel tired and sleep
through the night
5. Exercise regularly in the morning

have and up to $20,000 for nurses to attract them
to our rural communities.
“Families trying to provide their children with
arts education (music and dance lessons for exam-
ple) will have a tax credit. Caregivers taking care
of loved ones will get a tax break for their efforts.
We have a new $3,000 volunteer firefighters’ tax
credit; and the waiving of license renewal fees for
hunters and firearm owners.
“Again, we are improving federal student loans
program for Alberta students; and increasing support for re-
search and technology, including $50 million in funds for
agriculture innovation. These are important initiatives that
will serve us in rural Alberta,” MP Sorenson points out.
“Canada is emerging from the global economic reces-
sion in a better position than virtually all other countries.
We have the lowest budgetary deficit. Canadians understand
that we spent that money to save and create jobs during the
recession. Budget 2011 maps out the efforts we will take to
continue to pay down debt and yet continue spending on
programs and services Canadians value highly. It is a good
balance, in my view. It is a low-tax plan to create jobs and
growth.
“We continue to build on the work we have been complet-
ing with provinces, municipalities, local groups and commu-
nities. As the government, we have widely consulted Canadi-
ans to deliver what we need to ensure a prosperous future.”

RCMP Briefs
Uttering threats and firearms offences
In the early morning hours of March 15, Strathmore RCMP
responded to a 911 call to learn that a 30-year-old Strath-
more man had left his residence armed with a loaded ri-
fle. Further investigation revealed that in the course of the
events of the evening this individual had also uttered threats
to cause harm to acquaintances prior to leaving his home in
his vehicle.
Strathmore RCMP located the individual in his motor ve-
hicle a short time later. They established communication with
him and were able negotiate his cooperation in exiting the
car and allowing himself to be taken into custody safely. The
firearm involved was recovered at the location of the arrest
and seized. A 30-year-old Strathmore man has been charged
with several firearms offences including; Careless use of
a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of
a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He is further charged
with uttering threats, one count of theft not exceeding five
thousand dollars and several violations of a recognizance
specifically the conditions that he not possess weapons, not

and be of good behavior.
Vehicle damage to the Best Western Hotel
On February 27, at approximately 7 a.m., Strathmore
RCMP were called to the Best Western Hotel in Strathmore,
Alberta to investigate a hit and run complaint.
An unknown vehicle had struck the Northeast corner of
the Hotel, damaging the structure heavily in the process. The
damage included a partially caved in portion of the structure,
broken windows and debris left behind. The offending ve-
hicle sustained damage therefore it is logical that someone
has noticed unexplained recent damage to vehicle they have
seen or know of.
If you believe you have any information about this inci-
dent or the possible suspect vehicle members of the public
are asked to call the Strathmore RCMP at 403-934-3968 or
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

west of Highway 817 near Strathmore, sideswiped a pass-
ing Semi-truck with its mirrors. The resulting collision broke
the driver side mirror and window of the eastbound vehicle.
The westbound truck failed to stop following the collision
and continued westbound on Highway 564. There were no
injuries.
The westbound vehicle will have damage to the driver side
mirror and possibly the window. Vehicle make and model are
unknown at this time. Alcohol is not believed to have been
a factor.
If person(s) have any information regarding this collision
or the identity of the driver please contact Crime Stoppers at
1-800-222-TIPS (1-800-222-8477) or Strathmore RCMP at

On Sunday, March 20, a 24-foot flatbed trailer was stolen
from a shop yard in Standard. The trailer is a 1998 Falcan
FH370, red in colour. The trailer was stolen between 11:20
a.m. and 12:05 p.m. and a suspect vehicle was seen at the
location during that time. The vehicle is described as being
a white dually with a flatdeck and picker on the back. There
is a logo on the side of the door and a toolbox on the deck.
If you have any information regarding this theft, please con-

At 1:40 a.m., on the morning of March 22nd, Strathmore
RCMP, Strathmore Municipal Fire Department and Strath-
more Emergency Medical Services were dispatched to a
residential fire at the corner of Briarwood Road and Briar-
wood Crescent in the Town of Strathmore. Four neighbouring
homes were evacuated for the safety of the occupants due
to the severity of the fire and wind direction. The occupants
of the residence where the fire started, were not home at the
time. A second residence, next to the first, was damaged by
the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation with the

After witnessing first hand how can-
cer can ravage a family, 15-year-old Dyl-
lan Duperron has decided to do his part
to make a difference. Beginning March
14, Duperron laced up his sneakers in
Lethbridge and hit the pavement. He is
running from Lethbridge to Grande Prai-
rie, approximately 959 kilometres apart,
to raise money for the Alberta Cancer
Foundation.
“He came up to me last spring and
said, ‘I’ve been thinking of doing a run
for cancer, what do you think about
that?” said Boni Duperron, his mom,
who is along for the journey.
His Great-uncle Romeo passed away
from cancer a few years ago, and Boni
said Dyllan was at the age where he
could see the effects.
“He wasn’t able to make it to the fu-
neral, so this is his way of showing his
support for that (part) of the family,”
said Boni.
Many people in his family have had
cancer, with a few succumbing to it and
others surviving it.
Dyllan and Boni spent the night in
Strathmore on March 18, staying at the
Travelodge because, “This is the first
hotel we’ve found with a hot tub,” said
Dyllan.

President of the Strathmore and

Chamber of commerce welcomes
new board members at AGM
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
The Strathmore and District Cham-
ber of Commerce held its Annual
General Meeting at the Travelodge on
March 21. The meeting began with
dinner, followed by speeches about
how the Chamber has done over the
past year, and a few things they plan
to continue to promote over this next
year.
“It went really well. We probably
had about 35 to 40 in attendance, so
considering the weather and that sort
of thing it was probably about what
we expected,” said Lin Walker, presi-
dent of the Chamber.
“What we are the most proud of, as
far as what the Chamber accomplished
last year, is we increased our member-
ship by 40 per cent, and we bettered
our financial situation.”
Walker said part of that is because
they have had phenomenal represen-
tation over the past year. The Cham-
ber also introduced five new board
members: Steve Jefferies, publisher of
the Chestermere Anchor and his wife
Barb, owner of Pier Communications:
Rick Risdale from Golden West Radio;
Debbie Wakelam, owner of Meadow-
lark Care Homes; and Doug Sholter
with the Days Inn.

The students who take part must be between

“I just thought the conflict between war and
peace was breaking the world apart,” said Muen-

Muenchrath’s poster will be displayed at the Li-

Town protects wetlands from
possible east/west connector road
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
The Town of Strathmore
has been reviewing its long-
term infrastructure plan,
which brought forth a need
to review possible east/west
connector roads. One of the
potential alignments could
cut through the wetlands.
Jesse Parker, Director of
Engineering and Operations
for the Town, said there cur-
rently aren’t any plans for a
road through the wetlands.
He said it would be develop-
ment that will drive the ne-
cessity of an east/west road.
Administration is trying to
think about the potential of
future development in the
area. By making it a policy
then the Town could say to
a developer they would pre-
fer the structure placed else-
where, because there is the
potential for the road. Ad-
ministration doesn’t know
what the actual studies are
going to be. That’s why they
would like to have it as ba-
sically a policy. The rec-
ommendation from admin-
istration is that there is no
future development to en-
sure there are no barriers for
the possible alignment. The
only exemptions are: exist-
ing works by the developer
of WestCreek for the expan-
sion of the Public Utility,

Gleichen honours their past and
present during skate carnival
Manny Everett
Times Contributor
“That was then … this is now”, was
the theme of Gleichen Skate Club’s Ice
Carnival held this past Saturday.
The theme meant more than just
music from past and present, as the
Arena and Curling Club underwent
over $600,000 in major upgrades and
improvements including new boards,
glass, walkways, concrete and also
some outside improvements.
The stands were full for the carnival,
which kicked off with a ribbon cutting
ceremony sponsored by Encana. Com-
munity members were recognized for
their contributions of volunteer time,
money and support to make the Club
something to be proud of.
President Cindy Bolinger said, “It (the

great, the kids are enthusiastic and we
are looking forward to an amazing
2011-2012 season.”
The skaters put on an amazing per-
formance with the routines and dances
they had prepared with their coach,
Carrie Lassiter from Bassano. Lassiter
has coached at Gleichen for just over
eleven years and is very proud of how
far her students have come this season.
Both the Juniors and Seniors performed
solos during the evening.
After weeks of practice with their
particular groups, Program Assistants
Stephanie Bolinger, Kayla Pietrobono,
Taylor Lassiter, Rebekah Schalin, Taylor
and Korrie Stewart, Jourdyn Sammons
and Sierra Many Heads led their skaters
on the ice through the routines.

The Strathmore Ice claimed the U19 B Belle Zone Championship March 19 at the Strathmore Family
Centre. The Ice defeated Rockyford two games to none.
Ice off to provincials
Mario Prusina
Times Editor
Two fierce ringette rivals are off to
the U19 B Belle Provincial Champion-
ship this weekend in Fort McMurray.
The Zone Champion Strathmore Ice
and the Rockyford Ringers, the high-
est ranked zone team during the regu-
lar season, are in separate pools at the
Provincial Championship March 25-27.
The Ice earned a berth in the tourna-
ment by winning the zone title, while
the Ringers gained entry as a Wild Card.
“It’s a tough test (at) provincials,”
said Ice head coach Darin Dunlop. “It
always seems like the northern teams
are always pretty strong. We played
a couple of them in tournaments this
year and they’ll be a test. I was looking
at our pool – we have a real good shot
to make it to the finals on Sunday.
“We just have to keep our heads –
we can’t get away from our game plan.
On the defensive side, we need to play
good body position – don’t be chasing
rings and getting beat one-on-one. We
need to be patient.”
Both the Ice and the Ringers compet-
ed in the Ringette Calgary League dur-
ing the regular season. However, those
two teams, along with Cochrane, break
off and compete for the Zone Champi-
onship.
The Ringers were the highest ranked
zone team and earned a bye in the
first round of the playoffs, while the
second-ranked Strathmore Ice took on
third-ranked Cochrane Rockies.
Strathmore earned a 12-10 win in
Game 1 of the series, before a tough
10-9 loss on the road in Game 2. In the
third and deciding game, Strathmore
used their home ice advantage to post
a 10-4 victory and a berth in the final.

The Ice traveled to Rockyford for
Game 1 of the Zone Championship
Series. Despite falling 3-0 early in the
game, the Ice showed tremendous
character and came back to win 8-7.
In Game 2 on home ice, Strathmore
burst out to a 4-1 lead, en route to a 7-4
win to claim the Zone Championship.
“We started off the first game pretty
slow, but (we) called a quick timeout
and the girls got going again,” said
Dunlop. “Then back at Strathmore we
played a full 40 minutes of real good
ringette and won 7-4.
“There has been an ongoing rivalry
with Rockyford (for years),” said Dun-
lop. “It always seems like it’s us and
Rockyford in the finals – so it makes it
a little sweeter.”
According to Dunlop, the defence –
consisting of Heather Potter, Kirsten
Dunlop, Rebecca Dunlop and Shayna
Dunbar (affiliate for injured Caitlyn
Woodcock) – were always composed
and steady. If they did falter, goalie
Brianna Kemble always stood up and
elevated her game.
The forwards baffled Rockyford with
their quick transition game and timely
passing. Madisen Morris, Willow Pax-
ton, Liz Steele, Caitlin Thomas, Bobi
Edelemann, Nicole Laursen and Car-
men McMurray all played well.
However, despite defeating Rocky-
ford in the Zone Championship, the Ice
would love to play the Ringers again
this season. For that to happen, both
teams would have to make the playoffs
at the Provincial Championship.
“A lot of the girls (on both teams) go
to school with each other, so it can get
intense on the ice sometimes,” offered
Dunlop. “For the most part, there are a
lot of good friendships after.”
And a lot of bragging rights.

The Strathmore Storm Bantam Tier 3 team decided to do something a little different this year with funds left in their bank
account. Instead of spending the money on themselves, players took to Sobey’s and made a donation to the Food Bank.
The kids did the shopping, spent the money wisely, and delivered the goods. Thanks to Sobey’s generous donation, the
team was able to provide $710 worth of items to those in need.

Adults looking to swim competitively,
or just to brush up on their swimming
skills, will now have the opportunity
thanks to a new program in the Strath-
more Silversharks swim club. The Mas-
ters program began at the beginning of
March, and is for people 18-years-old
and up.
“The Masters Club, because it’s Tues-
day, Thursday mornings it gives those
swimmers who are wanting to be more
competitive the option of coming dur-
ing those times,” said Jennifer Mertz,
assistant head coach for the Strathmore
Silversharks.
“It’s the older swimmers that we’re
targeting, who would be able to swim
with the adults and just get more train-
ing in.”
The Strathmore Silversharks swim
club has been around for just over five
years.
“One of the parents…her daughter
wanted to start the swim club so they
asked a friend to start it,” said Venita
Schoepp, club manager.
“He volunteered his time, and now
we’re here. It had like 12 (members)
in the beginning and now we have 77,
with a waiting list.”
Schoepp said usually they add new
members into the club in January. The
kids are taught breathing techniques,
all of the different strokes, turns and
dives.
“Sometimes to make it different they
ming... just to change it up, but... they
do a lot of laps,” said Schoepp.
The Masters club isn’t the only new
thing the swim club has introduced
this year. Previously, parents of the
club have coached the swimmers, and
the head coach also has children in the
club, which Mertz said has been work-
ing really well.
“We’ve introduced some junior
coaches to our club…but we’ve intro-
duced a junior coaching program this
year just as a trial basis to see how
it’s working and it’s going great,” said
Mertz.
Spurs make it to provincials
The Strathmore Spurs U14 boys indoor soccer team played in the provincial tournament on March 19
The junior coaches are about at the Subway Soccer Dome in Calgary. The boys tied two games and won one before making it to the
14-years–old. Mertz also said the club final game. The final game went to a shoot out where the Spurs lost by one point. Even though they

and have a junior meet about every
five weeks and senior meet about once

Chiefs strike first in Championship Series

Mario Prusina
Times Editor
The Wheatland Chiefs are one step
closer to claiming the South Central
Alberta Hockey League Midget Cham-
pionship.
After sweeping the Red Deer ProS-
titch two games to none, the Chiefs de-
feated the Foothills Bisons 4-2 in Game
1 of their championship series March
22 at the Strathmore Family Centre.
Since losing their first playoff game,
the Chiefs have won five straight, in-
cluding the pivotal opening game of
the best-of-five championship series.
“It feels good to get the first one out
of the way and get a win,” said head
coach Devon Olson after the contest.
“We played good tonight – it was a
whole team effort. We rolled all four
lines again tonight, which is nice. We
can wear teams down like that, espe-
cially when we get the lead. They’re
sending their top guys out every sec-
ond shift, wearing them down. So if we at the Strathmore Family Centre. Imme- tential games.

a one goal lead into the third period.
The Chiefs dominated the final peri-
od, especially the last half of the frame
and iced the game with a goal from
Cody Burndred.
“They move the puck fast, so we
have to be on them quick and take the
body,” said Muenchrath, who lead the
offensive barrage with a goal and an
assist. “We’re a physical team, we get
a lot of shots – we have four lines and
really good depth.”
The Chiefs will have a chance to kick
back and relax for a week, as the series
will not resume until March 29 (7 p.m.)

The Wheatland Chiefs AA midget team claimed the SCAHL North Championship March 19 in Red
Deer. The Chiefs won 7-1 in Game 1 on March 15 in Strathmore, before closing out the series with a
8-5 in Game 2.

Bantam Storm Report
As my previous article last week
stated, the Strathmore Storm bantam
T5 team have tons of heart and a great
amount of team spirit. And over the
weekend the team prevailed again! At
their most recent tournaments this past
weekend, the boys walked away with
three wins, one tie and no losses. But,
yet again, it’s not in the stats – it’s all
in the heart these kids show every time
they practice or play the game.
After a disappointing loss to Brooks
on Thursday of last week, they walked
away from that game with heavy
hearts, but they also walked into the
tournament with the desire to win.
Not just the desire, but the passion it
took to walk away with a champion-
ship. Their first game Friday night was
against Crowfoot from NW Calgary and
that evening the boys walked away
with the momentum for the rest of the
weekend.
On Saturday it was an up early
morning for the boys and the hockey
parents. Those commercials with the
early hockey mornings I’m sure were
how the parents felt. The team that
day had two games a morning game
and an evening game. Their first game
that day was against Bow River from
SE Calgary in which another win was
captured. After some lunch and a break
they played Mindapore whom they had
played n the beginning of their season
in Brooks and at that time they lossed,
but this time heart prevailed once
again and they walked away with a tie.
Sunday was the final two games of
the tournament where the first place
team would play the second place
team. And the third place team would
play the fourth place team. That morn-
ing the boys were first and, they played
Mindapore and it was a no score game
till half way through the third when
the boys really came alive and walked
away with the gold. “Ben Sorensen had
an amazing game in the final, leading
his team to the 3-0 win.” Says Mike Lan-
gen coach for the Strathmore Storm.
Not only were the boys awarded with
a gold medal, but members of the team
were awarded with the Heart and Hus-
tle award. The first game it was Bray-
don Murphy. The second game it was
Logan Weir, the following game was
Tyis Yellowhorn and on the last game
it was Ryder Quenelle. Congratulations
to all of them. Also a huge kudos to
all the parents who supported them
through losses and wins. Great season
boys and good luck next year.

how they can help and consider donat-

presents an opportunity for Scammers.
Within hours of a disaster criminals cre-
ate fake charity web sites and “phishing”

is to donate money to reputable hu-
