MIRIAM OSTERMANN

Times Associate Editor

Frustrations and outrage soared among a local parish and adeveloper who find themselves at a deadlock after town councilimposed a 120-day freeze on actions surrounding the removal ofthe former St. Michael and All Angels Anglican Church – a move

that hopes to preserve the historic significance for the Wheat-land and District Historical Society (WDHS) despite the buildinghaving been sold to a third party.

Last year, after an unconditional offer was accepted for a developer, who asked to remain anonymous, to purchase six lotson Oct. 1, 2015 with a term of the purchase contract that thechurch building be removed, the society was offered to pur-chase the 106-year-old building for $1; money the parish said

was never paid and with a written agreement never established. The society then began scouting possible new locations and

received $5,000 from a local event to cover part of the removalcosts. Upon resistance from the community to move the churchto Lambert Village and with information stating that the struc-ture would lose its eligibility for certain grants if moved from itsoriginal location, the society sought council’s approval to des-ignate the property a Municipal Historic Resource. Following aStatement on Significance presented to council on Jan. 13, the

council initiated the first step in the process of designation bysending a letter to the registered property owner to notify themof their intent ensuring the property and building cannot bealtered for 120 days – tying the hands of the developer and theparish from moving forward with their proposed plans. Further-more, without payment of the $1, the church was sold to a thirdparty prior, confirmed the legal representation for the diocesePeter Crisfield.

“It frustrates me, and I don’t understand how a society thathad the opportunity to purchase the building and purchase theland beforehand chose not to… and instead they decided tocircumvent the system and go directly to council,” said the de-

veloper.“It’s inconceivable what’s happening at this point. I have had

an opportunity to review the online council meetings and inthe Nov. 18, 2015 meeting one of the council members (DenisePeterson) is quoted as saying that she and the mayor sit onthe WDHS. I believe this is a severe conflict of interest as they

should have removed themselves from all of the meetings andsubsequent votes. During the last council meeting the WDHSand the town were the only groups that had representation. Theparish was not even notified. A fairly significant vote was takenand two of the five voting members have a conflict with the

WDHS and their affiliation to it.” The Western and District Historical Society had requested to

be put on the agenda for Jan. 13 and the presentation was notinitiated by administration. According to CAO Dwight Stanford and Deputy CAO Linda

Nelson with the town, the two council members are only rep-resenting the board they sit on and without financial interests,stating that it’s not a conflict of interest therefore. Stanford alsosaid administration had heard rumours about the sale of thechurch to a third party but had never seen any official paper-

work.Continued on Page 7

A lack of sponsors regrettably shelvedthe Strathmore Children’s Festival for2015, but organizers are expecting a re-surgence this year with some assistancefrom the community, an enlivened theme,and a profusion of fresh ideas to ensure a

successful event. The event, which officially made itsmark in Strathmore in 2012, will focus onencouraging children to play through ac-tive use of creativity, imagination, socialdevelopment, communication, and think-ing skills, reflective of this year’s theme;Back to Basics. The organizers have already tenta-

tively booked Reptile Parties that werepresent when the festival launched four years ago, and are taking on a differentapproach to include local resources byoffering free spots in the festival in ex-change for an activity or entertainment.

“The whole point of the festival this year is to show kids that they can havefun without computer, without laptops,

without video games,” said Event Orga-nizer Marci Hira.

“It’s trying to go back to basics ofphysical play, learning, and education. Ithink this will really help promote what we have in town. I’m kind of just testingthe waters this year to see how thing go, because if things go well this year, I haveso many plans for next year.”

Hira introduced herself to the com-munity with the Superhero Clean-up last year, and was asked to take over the or-ganization of the Strathmore Children’sFestival shortly after she offered to vol-unteer. While she has already receivedsome feedback and secured some dona-tions, an expected $3,000 to $5,000 arerequired to secure Reptile Parties andservices including face painting, a magi-cian, and balloon animals. As over 500children attended the event in 2014, thefestival is expecting to attract more than1,000 this year. Hira is organizing suchactivities as a bouncy castle, piñata, artand craft stations, info booths, obstaclecourse, a petting zoo, and yoga, and istargeting agencies such as ParentLink,

5 for Life, the Strathmore Municipal Li- brary, KidsU, Macaroni Kid and Pranava Yoga.

Donations made, whether monetary orfood items, are also expected to providefunds to Fuel for Schools - a programthat provides breakfasts to Strathmoreschools - the Youth Club, and the Wheat-land County Food Bank Society. To guarantee a successful event and

available funds for the local programs,however, the organizers are still in needof approximately 10 more volunteers anddonations for goodie bags for the first100 families, and door prizes. While Hira is busy bringing her ideas

to life, she is already dreaming big fornext year, when she hopes to bring anaerial circus to Strathmore, dependent onthis year’s outcome. Anyone wishing tosponsor, donate, or volunteer can contactHira at 587-897-2193. The event is freeto attend but the public is encouraged to bring food donations for the food bank.

The Strathmore Children Festival willtake place on April 9 at the StrathmoreCivic Centre from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The Strathmore Town Council is shell-ing out nearly half a million dollars tofast-track a rebuild on the primary clari-fier at the wastewater treatment plant,after a former decision to cover theconcrete tank hastened corrosion andprevented routine maintenance to themechanism. The primary clarifier, a settling tank

built with mechanical means for continu-ous removal of solids and floating mate-rials, had originally been scheduled for afull refurbishment in 2017, but was ren-dered inoperable in November of 2015. As a result of severe corrosion and lack

of regular maintenance, the engineeringdepartment deemed to have been caused by the mechanism enclosure in a cover,the clarifier mechanism failed.

“[Epcor] is recommending that it getsfixed right away,” said Bryce Mackan,acting director of engineering for the Town of Strathmore.

“We’ve gone through the books andthe process and it seems that the originalplan design may not have had the coversas part of the original design. It mighthave been brought up during the designphase or early construction phase that it

might be needed.” According to Mackan, full details re-

garding the installation of the cover haveso far been unavailable and efforts togain such information from the original

staff at the time have gone unanswered.Following Councillor Pat Fule’s ques-tion on why the cover was installed inthe first place, Mackan informed councilthat the cover was installed to preventodours from wafting out of the tank – aproblem he said hasn’t become an issue within other communities.

Since the mechanism failed in Novem- ber of last year, Epcor proceeded to re-move some of the cover, drain the tank,and inspect the unit. Epcor concludedthe scope would entail the removal ofthe cover, as a covered clarifier usual-ly contains an exhaust system to with-draw the air to a gas scrubber systemso the corrosive and odorous gases can be treated. Rebuild the corroded mecha-nism, build a new walkway for accessto the mechanism for routine inspectionand maintenance, and lastly re-surfacethe corroded mechanism to prevent fur-ther corrosion and damage to the mech-anism. According to the town’s engineering

department, Epcor has by-passed theprocess unit - a critical unit as the largeconcrete tank continuously removes ma-terials from the waste water – with noadverse effects on the effluent qualitystandards, owing to the treatment plant’sadditional designed capacity. However,

operational efficiency for Epcor was af-fected and additional chemical costsincurred to mitigate the lack of prima-ry treatment. Epcor therefore assuredthe town that shutting down the clari-

fier would have negative effects, includ-ing sludge settlement in downstreamprocess units which require additionalmaintenance and increased chemicalconsumption to compensate for the vola-tile fatty acids (VFA) production.

Councillor Bob Sobol also questionedthe action of replacing the unit ratherthan rebuilding the unit.

“We did ask Epcor about replacing theunit with a brand new drive mechanism,and with rough estimates they have oneplanned in 2020 just for the mechanismitself and they’re budgeting approxi-mately $560,000 for that project,” Mack-an said. “If you look back at the actuallist, the actual rebuilding of the clarifierdrive mechanism, will actually work out between $120,000 to $150,000. So it’squite a substantial difference.” The estimated cost approval involves

a completed primary inspection con-ducted in November 2015 for $50,000,the removal of the roof at over $65,000,construction of a walkway at more than$87,000, rebuild drive/mechanism at$65,500, and resurfacing mechanism atover $65,500. The estimate also includeda 10 per cent Epcor management fee anda 20 per cent contingency.

Strathmore town council voted in fa- vour of allocating up to $430,000 from

MSI funding for the rebuild of the prima-ry clarifier equipment. Councillor Brad Walls and Councillor Steve Grajczyk were absent during the Jan. 13 regularcouncil meeting.

“I am a member of the WDHS and Ihave openly supported their efforts topreserve the church and at no time haveI relegated the needs of the AnglicanChurch to a position less than that of thetown or of WDHS,” said Councillor Peter-son in an E-mal to the Strathmore Times.“I can assert that from my perspective

both the town and the WDHS have been very respectful and aware of the needs ofthe local Church as Rev. Beveridge madetheir needs very clear to both parties. Ican further assure you that the WDHS has been completely open with the dioceseand Rev. Beveridge. I inquired of admin-istration whether I might be in conflictand was assured I was not. I am certainly willing to have an opinion in the matterexamined by legal.” The town had previously directed ad-

ministration to contact the landownerand inquire about a figure appropriatefor compensation. However, the devel-oper isn’t interested in compensation andsaid after reaching out to the society viaphone and E-mail, they had previously of-fered a land swap that would require thesociety to purchase the land located onthe east side and then trade for the west-ern parcel the church is currently situatedon. While not ideal, the action would stillkeep six parcels intact for developmen-tal purposes. According to the developerno correspondence was received regard-ing the proposal. Yet during the councilmeeting, Mike Marko the acting directorof planning and development, who pre-sented council with information on theHistorical Designation Process, statedotherwise.

“We have tried to negotiate with theowner but have been refused,” Markosaid. “They seem determined that they

want the building moved from the site.”Several years ago, the congregation of

the St. Michael and All Angels AnglicanChurch agreed that the best form of ac-tion was to sell the land that the churchis located on and use the money to builda church elsewhere in town. While Pas-tor Bryan Beveridge said the society wasoriginally given the option of purchasingthe land and the church, the offer wasnever accepted. With a 120-day freeze,the parish is unable to access funds thathave not yet been exchanged for the saleof the land, and therefore are unable topurchase new land and construct a newchurch.

“We’ve tried to do something that wasgracious that would give them the build-

ing they felt was appropriate and help-ful,” said Pastor Beveridge, who said he was not made aware that the society waspresenting at the regular council meeting.

“I’ve learned in this that apparently the

town can do whatever the town wants to do. It doesn’t matterthere’s a small congregation of older folk who are just desiringtheir own place of worship. We offered to the historical societythis building which we see value in, which they see value in.But you have to move it so we can move forward. Their re-sponse ultimately is ‘No, we’ll take your building thank you and we’ll leave it where it is.’”

While the recent sale of the church to a third party wasn’tmentioned during the Jan. 13 meeting, council agreed to the120-day freeze and to advertise the notice of intention, garner

public input, and hold an open house to determine public sup-port for a future bylaw. Councillor Bob Sobol spoke out aboutassurance that there will be serious and in-depth efforts forcouncil to be involved in the consultation process.

Councillor Denise Peterson also said that it should be under-stood that at no time would the council advocate appropriationand always would make sure there was compensation.

However, for the developer it’s an open and shut case.“The shocking part is that they’re clearly missing the fact that

the land has been sold, and they’re putting in jeopardy landdeals with the parish which is involved and are members of thecommunity that have been completely forgotten in this, and adeveloper that wants to build in this community,” the developersaid.

“It aggravates me that they didn’t want to pay the price forthe land and deal with it at the time, but they’re making everybody else pay the price. They were more than willing to movethat church to Lambert Village if it was an option for them. Theresidents of this community said not in my backyard, so now you’re going to force it into mine?”

DEREK FILDEBRANDT

MLA Strathmore-Brooks

There’s no question, Alberta’seconomy is seeing some of its

toughest challenges in over adecade. Plunging global com-modity markets and NDP poli-cies that are putting furtherstress on our energy sector are beginning to take a serious tollon the provincial government’s bottom line.

Alberta faces a record $9.1 billion consolidated deficit this year. The result is we are now borrowing at unprecedentedrates. Alberta’s borrowing has become so severe that our hard-earned AAA credit rating dis-solved last month.

In fact, outside of Health,Education, Post-Secondary and

Human Services, debt-servicingcosts will soon be the most ex-pensive line item across govern-ment.

Spending was far above thenational average under the previous government, and has onlyskyrocketed to new levels sincethe NDP took power. Wildrose has long warned

that reckless borrowing plans

combined with poor econom-ic policies would only put thehealth of Alberta’s economy atrisk. Premier Notley brushed offthese warnings as fear monger-

ing, but it’s why Wildrose hasconsistently called for opera-tional spending restraint. With the now defunct Sustain-

ability Fund almost depletedand with nearly $17 billion indebt already, we cannot contin-ue to kick this problem downthe road indefinitely.

Our proposals began withcontinuing the freeze on MLAsalaries, but also an-across-the- broad wage freeze for all gov-ernment of Alberta employees. This suggestion also was con-demned as a “knee-jerk policyoption” by NDP Finance Minis-ter Joe Ceci as late as Jan. 10,

however days later, the minis-ter thankfully reversed himself when he announced a wagefreeze this week for all non-unionized (mostly manage-ment) government employees. This is a positive first step,

and we shouldn’t hold it againstgovernments when they changecourse in the face of hard reali-ties.

It is still only a first stepthough, and mostly symbolic. The wage freeze for govern-ment managers is expected tosave $28.5 million a year, a pro-

verbial drop in the bucket ofthe $24.9 billion that the gov-ernment spends every year onemployee pay and benefits.

Employee pay and benefitsmake up half of the govern-ment’s consolidated expensesannually, and so any plan that isrealistic about containing costshas to consider it seriously.

Right now, many Albertanshave lost their jobs, while manymore fear for losing them. Manyother businesses in Alberta haveasked their staff to take wagecuts as high as 10 per cent tostay profitable.

Similarly, Alberta’s govern-

ment should show serious re-straint on salaries and wages.Let me be clear, this does notmean any front-line jobs lost. It will however take all Albertansto deal with the challengingeconomic situation we are fac-ing, and it means making smallsacrifices now before the chal-lenges become much more severe.

Debbie Tolgyessy, the owner of StrathmoreDental Hygiene, who also shares the space withthe Family Dental Clinic and the owner Dr. MuraiKhalifa, opened her doors to the public back inMarch 2010. This dental hygiene practice is where many

citizens of the Town of Strathmore go for their yearly check-up; many have gone to Debbie for

the past 25 years. The practice also offers fillings,implants, tooth extractions, braces, and muchmore. The family-orientated facility aims at creating

a non-threatening environment for kids to go to. Tolgyessy is trying to change the way that peo-

ple view dentistry; the idea of someone pokingaround in your mouth with metal tools can beunnerving, but the atmosphere that is experi-enced when you walk into the waiting room issure to calm you right down. You are able to kick back and relax with a

cup of coffee while watching ‘The Tonight Show’

with Jimmy Fallon, and when it’s time for yourcleaning, there is never a moment that is void oflaughter. When asked why she opened up a dental hy-

giene practice in Strathmore, Tolgyessy statedthat, “This is my town, I love the people in thistown. I still have people who have moved awayfrom here coming back to me. I love the senseof commitment that surrounds this community.”

Debbie graduated from the University of Cal-gary and SAIST in Regina; she is a registered

Dental Hygienist, Restorative Hygienist, and iscertified to administer local anaesthetic. She wasalso one of the first Dental Hygienists to own afree standing dental hygienist clinic, which sortof makes her a rock star in the hygiene world. The practice’s goal is to provide their patients with the highest quality dental work, and helpthem keep their smiles for a lifetime.

If you would like to book an appointment or re-ceive more information about this establishment, you can call 403-983-2001 or e-mail [email protected] or drop by and pay them a visit at Bay 2,410 Lakeside Boulevard.

persuaded town council to prevent any action on the propertyfor 120 days while it decides whether to declare the churchand surrounding property a his-toric site.

In 2012, the Anglican con-gregation made the decisionto leave their building, already

more than a century old, in needof a new roof and foundation,and infested with both flies andsquirrels. It was agreed that itmade more sense to put moneyinto a building that would carrythe parish into the future. With that in mind, money was

raised to prepare the propertyfor sale. To date, the parish hasspent more than $60,000 to re-mediate asbestos, remove thechurch hall and kitchen, andfill in the hole that was left. Theproperty was then marketed asa six lot package, including thefour lots on which the churchand hall had sat, as well as the

property next door which onceserved as housing for clergy.Six downtown lots make an at-tractive package for developers,and offers were received and re- viewed. An offer was accepted,one of its conditions being theremoval of the church building. The Western District Histori-

cal Society was informed thatthe congregation was acceptingoffers, and chose not to makeone. Now that an offer has been

accepted, the society has suc-cessfully petitioned town coun-cil to prevent any action on theproperty. This action was taken with-

out consulting the parish, orseemingly considering what theimpact would be. The congre-gation was not informed that

the matter would be addressedat town council, nor was it onthe published agenda. No of-fer of compensation has beenreceived, either for the land orfor the potential loss of a sale whose condition has now beenmade impossible to fulfil. The local Anglican congre-

gation is not large. It relies onthe financial contributions of itsmembers and it was countingon two equity sources to funda new building. Both have now been put in jeopardy by towncouncil. The downtown proper-ty is a vital source of equity thathas now been frozen. A further

three acres of land the churchowns at the north end of townhas been devalued by being leftout of the area developmentplan, rendering it landlocked. Attempts to address this issue with the town have been met with inaction.

A church that has been activein Strathmore for more than acentury is in danger of losingits future to those who wouldpreserve its past. While preserv-

ing history is a laudable goal, itmust not happen at the expenseof this congregation’s future. Town council and the histori-cal society need to find a way toensure that their actions do notharm the congregation whose building they hope to save. The Anglican Church is still here

and it’s not a building.Local Anglicans care aboutthe building. For us, it is morethan a landmark; it is the place where we have worshiped, inmany cases for decades or evengenerations. Our members havememories of baptisms, wed-dings, funerals, and many spe-cial events in the building. Wemade every attempt to find anew owner for the building, in-cluding offering it in our localnewspaper and even online in2012. We were thrilled when the Western District Historical So-ciety wanted to preserve it andmove it to another location. We

are not pleased that town coun-cil now values their interest inour property above our own. Town council will undoubt-

edly be looking for citizen input before they pass a bylaw declar-ing the church property a his-toric site. They can propose the bylaw in as little as 60 days. Iencourage all citizens to ask thecouncil not to jeopardize the fu-ture of this church as they con-sider preserving its past.

ent locations in Strathmore previously.“I’m looking forward to a good turn-

out and for people to dance. This band,Bottle Rock It is more of a dance band

because we’re playing all cover tunes.” The four-piece band is primar-

ily country and rock and performed atthe 15 Minutes of Fame festival, upon

which they were hired for their energy

and stage presence. Although Frere, who assumed the role of lead singerand rhythmic guitar, is well known forhis involvement in the folk music duoLewis and Royal and the three-member

Wheatland Band, both of which tour,Bottle Rock It usually performs for one-day events, such as rodeos, cabarets,and corporate functions.

“This gig in Strathmore is actuallya little unusual, it’s not typical,” Freresaid. “Typically we’re getting hired forsomeone’s wedding, or an annual ro-deo dance. This in Strathmore, I wantto believe that people are going to treatit like a community event, and I hopethey get into the spirit and get onto thedance floor.”

As all four members are originallyfrom rural areas, including Trochu,Drumheller, and Airdrie, they are look-ing forward to performing in front ofa small town crowd, which Frere saidis more laid back in their attitude. The

band consists of Lewis Frere as one ofthe lead vocalists and on rhythm gui-tar, his nephew Nick Frere on bass, leadguitarist Jason Bertsch, and Wes Brownon the drums. Although Bottle Rock Itdoes not tour, they already have perfor-mances lined up for rodeo dances andsummer weddings.

Bottle Rock It will be performingat the Strathmore Travelodge on Feb.6. Cocktails start at 6 p.m., dinner at7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $50 and can be purchasedat the Marlin Travel, Pro Water, or AssistBusiness Centre in Strathmore.

Inspiration struck quickly when 5for Life Chairperson Christine Kieme-ny attended a colossal Calgary-basedfundraiser a few years ago, ultimatelytranslating her experience into a local

book sale to raise funds for programsgeared towards developing children. The third annual 5 for Life Commu-

nity Book Sale mirrors – on a muchsmaller scale – the used book salefounded and hosted in collaboration

with the Calgary Herald, CrossroadsMarket, and the Servant’s AnonymousSociety that raised $1.5 million over adecade. In Strathmore, the non-profitorganization focused on early child-hood development in the town and

Wheatland County, adapted the fun-draising-style with hopes of gainingan influx in funds to implement andsupport similar resources.

“It seemed like something that wecould get all of the communities in-

volved in, the rural as well as Strath-more… it’s now in its third year,” saidKiemeny.

“Dealing with children zero to five,it’s the most developmental part oftheir lives. So, we try to get across toparents the idea of reading and bond-ing with their children and sittingdown and having quiet time, becausein this day and age, when you havetechnology and everybody is runningin 50 different directions, that doesn’thappen very much. It’s a very simplething to do, and we just want to pro-

mote that.” As the organization is expecting a

greater turnout since the event’s in-ception – having already generatedmuch interest and donations thusfar – two literacy-focused programsare already registered on the non-profit’s radar. While not yet avail-able in Strathmore, Building Blocks,a program that originated in Nantonand offers in-home services for fami-lies struggling with literacy, is a pos-sible contender as a recipient of themoney which would launch the pro-gram in Strathmore for the first time.Books for Babies, where new parentsreceive a brand-new book for theirchild, is also a program that receivedsupport from the organization in thepast.

“We’re not specifically sure whatpercentage goes to each, but if Booksfor Babies needs some more books,then we would give them some cashto help, and if the Building Blocksprogram comes on board then we

would look at how that would workas far as supplementing other fund-ing that we get from other resourc-es,” Kiemeny added, who hopes toraise more than last year’s $1,000.“We want to provide resources, in-formation, and activities that parentscan do without having to be MarthaStewart, but something simple thatthe parents can do, and give the par-ents confidence to know that, ’YesI’m helping my child.’”

Donation depots are set up aroundStrathmore and Wheatland County tocollect book donations of any genreand age group, with the exception ofencyclopedias, magazines, old health

books, textbooks, or Readers Digests,

until Jan. 28. The third annual 5 forLife Community Book Sale will takeplace at the Strathmore Civic Centreon Jan. 29-30. All children books andsoft covers are $0.50 and hard cov-er books are $1. For more informa-tion on where to drop off items call403.983.4815 or visit 5forlifeforever.com.

Annually across the country we celebrate Minor Hockey Week.

The week is a way to recognize the sport for its positive influence and benefits to

the community, while also recognizing the people who bring it all together from

organizers to players.

A collaborative effort by the communitiesof Hussar, Bassano, Rockyford, and Standard,ensures kids continue to have the opportunityto play hockey with Hussar Minor Hockey.

“We didn’t have enough players, that’s whyall the associations have to work together insmall towns because there’s just not enoughkids,” said Clay Armstrong, Hussar MinorHockey director.

“Everybody is having trouble in the smallcommunities housing teams. I think working with multiple associations is the way it’s go-ing to go.” Armstrong said having teams from the

four communities come together as one has worked well so far, because they’re all work-ing with the same goals in mind to give thekids a positive experience.

“Basically the goal is to provide a positiveexperience and I felt we’ve done that,” said

Armstrong.He thinks the team’s development is going

well and hopes it leads to more wins undertheir belts to contribute in making it to theplayoffs.

“So far it’s been good,” said Armstrong. “We have the teams’ parents and the coach-

ing staff. I haven’t heard any complaints soit’s been good. We would be happy (to makeplayoffs). Goals would be obtained,” said

Armstrong.

Rockyford Minor Hockeysee increased passion JUSTIN SEWARD

Times Reporter

Establishing sport teamsin a small town can often

become a struggle, but theRockyford Minor Hockey As-sociation created a success-ful year for kids all in partdue to a group effort. The association’s vice pres-

ident Brad Munchrath saidin a small town everyonehas to pull up their socksa bit more and show moreheart which has resulted instronger teams this season.

As a result such efforts havehelped the association reachtheir goals that were set atthe beginning of the season.

“Very smooth going year,”

said Munchrath,“It’s a number of things.

Good chemistry with thekids, good coaching, I don’tknow it’s small town hock-ey.”

Munchrath coaches thenovice team, and the mostencouraging thing for himand the association to seethis year has been more play-ers going from uncertainty of

playing the game to finding alove for it.

“We’ve got a lot of first-yearplayers in the sport,” he said.

“I like seeing them going

from not being sure if they want to play hockey to scor-ing their first goal and reallystart to join the team atmo-sphere. If you don’t like thesport then there’s no point inplaying it. It’s all about youloving the game.”

His goal for the end of theseason is to see the teamsmake playoffs, opening thedoor to endless possibilities.

Strong praise rang out to coaches of the Wheatland Athletic Association, whose teams – midget, bantam,and peewee double-A – are all sitting in the top threespots of their division. The association’s staff is accredited with the success

of raising players to perform at a high level.“They’re doing a good job at all levels,” said Presi-

dent Murray Brown.“I think as it always goes, things are going to get

tougher in the second half. I think everybody is gellingand I think the teams will be fine.”

Brown said the success goes back to the association’sevaluation process that resulted in strong turnouts andnumerous talented players at the peewee level duringtry-outs. While the midget level proved strong fromthe start with many returning veterans, the selectionfor the bantam level began with a clean slate, withonly one former player coming back.

“For one thing I believe in our process,” said Brown.“All of our coaches are players. Most of them played

at a high level. They’ve had some good coaches alongthe way that have been through our association.”

He emphasized that success is not based on winsor losses but the development of hockey players, andgave the coaches the responsibility of furthering theirskillset to become better athletes. The first half saw very few adjustments being made

amongst the teams, but Brown thinks there will bemore of a focus on special teams going into the stretchdrive of the season.

Additionally, in the second half, the teams will haveto prepare themselves as much as possible for the in-augural tournament-style playoff format with all teamsplaying two games a day. Wheatland Athletic Association will be hosting the

midget playoff tournament from March 3-6 at theStrathmore Family Centre.

Other events at the end of the year will include thethree-on-three tournament for atom, peewee, and ban-tam-aged kids, which will take place in Strathmore onMarch 31, April 2 and 3.
