Even though the federal election on

May 2 had ended, there was still one
more election which took place in the

The potential candidates were, long-

newcomer Jason Hale. The polls closed
at 5 p.m. and at 6:20 p.m. it was released
that Hale was the successful candidate.
“We were confident. With the work

The month of May is often a really
tough time for the Wheatland Food
Bank, and for the past few years the
Jesus of Christ Latter-Day Saints, LDS,
church has been running a food drive to
help them out. This year students from
Strathmore High School’s, SHS, Student
Leadership Council, SLC, will be helping
with the drive.
“The food bank said they are always
short during the month of May so we felt
it’d be a good time to do a food drive,”
said Brooklyn Davidson, a member of
the SLC food drive team.
“We’re just taking on the Hillview area.
The LDS church is doing the rest of the
community.”
Some of the students knew about the
church food drive and had wanted to
help out the community in some way.
The SLC contacted the church to see
how they would be able to help out, and
were assigned the Hillview area.
Flyers are being distributed in the
area, informing residents of what will be
happening, and allowing them a chance
to prepare to help out. The SLC will be
collecting non-perishable items, includ-
ing toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other
items the food bank is usually in need
of.
“They can just leave their food out on
their doorstep, and we’ll just come pick
it up so we wont have to hassle them,”
said Davidson.
During the Halloween food drive, stu-
dents were able to fill the back of an SUV
thanks to all of the support from resi-
dents, and Davidson said they are hop-
ing to collect at least that much again.
“This involves the whole community,
and SLC would really like the commu-
nity to help out. We’re happy to be doing
it, and hope to be doing it again next
year,” said Davidson.
The SLC will be collecting donations
from Hillview residents on May 14, from
9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Anyone wishing to
help out can leave the items, with the
flyer, on their doorstep and someone
will stop by to pick it up. The whole
town will be canvassed, and the hope is
to be able to provide enough food to the
food bank to fill it up until fall.

Irrigation’s fate has been
decided…or has it?
shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
The irrigation committee has
officially been dissolved as many
of the councillors feels they have
reached the best solution to
bringing residential irrigation
back. Even though the commit-
tee wasn’t originally going to
be given the chance to speak,
Councillor John Rempel made a
motion to allow Bob Carver, irri-
gation committee member, a few
minutes to once again present
the committee’s case to council.
Carver expressed two points.
The first concerned the changes
to the water utility rates, which
he said has made irrigation seem
even more attractive to residents.
The second thing he wished to
discuss was the report from Jes-
se Parker, Director of Engineer-
ing and Operations for the town:
the amount of water being used
by the town to water the parks
and what the town is required
to pay. Carver said the irrigation
committee feels the town should
pay the bill for the parks being
watered.
Parker said not all of the parks
have access to irrigation, and
for some of them there is only a
little bit of the park actually be-
ing able to be watered through
irrigation.
Tension was high, with mem-
bers of the gallery speaking out
of turn. Bob Carver doesn’t feel
like council has actually made a
decision, and has instead passed
the buck to irrigation users
to find a solution. He said he
doesn’t know how an individual
is to know what they have to pay
“We have no idea what they
mean. I know what they think
they mean, they would like to
see somebody coordinate it for
them. Well I’m sorry, but they are
the coordinators,” said Carver.
“How can you say that a group
has to put up this much money
without specifying what an indi-
vidual has to put up.”
Councillor Rocky Blokland
made a motion that the town re-
instates the irrigation for 2011,
with 80 per cent of the operat-
ing costs coming from the users
and 20 per cent from the town,
by June 15. The users’ portion
works out to approximately
$80,000. Even if 650 residents
with access to irrigation were to
sign up at $100 per person, they
would still be shy of the $80,000
mark.
EPCOR contract
As part of the EPCOR opera-
tions and maintenance contract,
every five years out of the 20
years the contract is brought to
council for a pricing review. It’s
an opportunity for the town and
EPCOR to review the scope of
the work, and look at any pric-
ing changes which might im-
pact the pricing of the contract.
In 2010 there were a number of
changes to water and wastewa-
ter utilities in town, including
the decommissioning of the for-
mer water treatment plant and
the commissioning of the east
Calgary waterline and the waste-
water treatment plant. Due to
the significant changes, over the
past year town administration
and EPCOR have worked on a
pricing exercise for the utilities
included in the EPCOR contract.
After lengthy meetings, consulta-
tions and number crunching the
figure of $2,270,734 was brought
to council for approval. There
were some savings, despite the
exuberant number.
Citizen of the Month
Every month a Citizen of
the Month is to be nominated.
Last month no one was named
so at the May 4 council meet-
ing, Councillor Rocky Blokland
brought forth his recommenda-
tion for April. Blokland nominat-
ed Sheila Crispin as the citizen
of the month for April. Blokland
said he nominated her because
she is a tireless, endless motiva-
tor on the projects she believes
in, especially making the down-
town area beautiful.
Councillor Dave Hamilton also
gave his citizen of the month
for May. He picked Robert Bre-
itweiser. Hamilton said Breit-
weiser is a dedicated member of
the Communities in Bloom and
Hamilton wants to reward him
for all of his hard work in the
community.
Street Sweeping
contract
Street sweeping was to begin
on May 2. Due to the snowfall
the week prior, it threw them
off a little. The equipment was
sitting in Sudbury, Ont., at the
time of the council meeting, the
equipment had been held up by
weather out east. Jesse Parker,
Director of Engineering and Op-
erations for the town, said the
last he had heard, the company
would be bringing equipment
up from the states to be in town.
Street cleaning is now set to be-
gin on May 9.

Before painting
Most homeowners who try to paint or wallpaper over damaged plas-
terboard walls wish they had taken the time to repair the drywall first.
Objects shoved against drywall sometimes make dents or scratches in
the surface. These are merely indentations, not actual breaks, and they
can be repaired with a minimum of effort.
Begin by sanding the surface thoroughly, which will roughen the area
and provide a good base for joint filler compound.
Use a three inch or four inch spreader for applying a good grade of
joint compound. Spread it evenly and press it firmly into the dented areas.
If the dents are extremely large, it may be necessary to let the com-
pound dry overnight and then apply a second coat. When it is completely
dry, sand the area until it is smooth.
Walls that have cracked can also be repaired, but it takes a little more
effort. Various types of patching powders and compounds are available
for patching wallboard. Some are powder, others are offered in paste
form.
Be sure the cracked area which is to be patched is completely clean
and dry. Remove all dirt from the area around the crack. Clean out the
crack and apply the patching plaster with a wide and flexible putty knife.
Apply the patching plaster by working across the crack with strokes
in both directions, as this tends to work the plaster into the crack better
than strokes in one direction.
Remove any surplus patching material by using the putty knife as a
scraper, and after the area has dried completely, it is ready to be sanded.
Your plasterboard walls should be good as new and ready for priming for
paint or preparing for wallcovering.

pesky little ants crawling in your garden, between those

cheap, natural and science-based ant remedies a try:
kindness - Vinegar
gather love Wipe down your countertops, cupboards and any other
places where you’ve spotted ants with a 50-50 mixture of
white vinegar and water. Ants hate the smell of vinegar, and
it removes the scent trails they use to get around.

Chalk/ Baby Powder

Draw a line of chalk or sprinkle baby powder across
the spot where the ants are entering your home. Talcum
powder, an ingredient in both chalk and baby powder, is a
natural ant repellent.

Coffee Grounds
Sprinkle your used coffee grounds in the garden and
around the outside of your house. Ants are repelled by the
scent given off by the grounds; and incidentally, so are cats.

Cucumber/Citrus Peels
Leave the peelings in areas of known ant activity.
Cucumber and citrus peels are toxic to the types of fungi
that ants feed on, and therefore avoided by the ants.

Herbs/Spices
Sprinkle cinnamon, mint, chili pepper, black pepper,
cayenne pepper, cloves or garlic – whichever one you
happen to have – in the area where you’ve seen ants and

Irrigation issue a major concern
To the Editor
In the three and a half years that I have been a Town
Councillor, I can think of no other issue which has
caused more angst and emotion than residential irriga-
tion. The issue seems simple – start the pumps that are
in existence and begin pumping water from the WID
canal (which runs through Strathmore) to residents for
their use in the summer months. The concept of using
irrigation water rather than potable one is environmen-
tally sound, and has always been supported in theory.
The issue becomes complicated when one takes into
account:
• In 2009, Council of the day decided to suspend the
use of Irrigation, based on the fact that all Strathmore
property-owners (approx. 4200) were supplementing
the irrigation system and that, in that year, half of all
the money the 627 users paid had to be returned be-
cause the system performed so poorly (infrastructure
issues resulting in numerous breaks and low pressure).
• In early 2011, in an effort to determine exactly
what kind of support for this system existed amongst
the potential 1100 users (approx. number of residences
with access to irrigation), Town Administration invited
those users to deposit $100 with the Town of Strath-
more, as a clear indication that they were interested
and willing to invest in this system. 94 “commitments”
were received by the cut-off date of April 15.
In an effort to clearly support the possible future
Safety concerns Pet Expo’s No. 1 priority
To the Editor
We would like to take this opportunity to respond to
some questions we have had as to why the public was
not allowed to bring their pets into the Strathmore Pet
Expo.
This was really not our decision to make. There are
many regulations in place to protect the public and the
animals in these situations. We were very fortunate that
the Town of Strathmore and the wonderful folks at the
Civic Center worked with us to even allow the ven-
dors to bring their animals in. The vendors had a legal
waiver which they had to sign as they were responsible
for their pets and ensuring their pets were current on
all vaccinations, medical checks, etc. Our veterinarian
was consulted over any concerns before approval was
granted. Health Services was very accommodating in
educating us on what we could and could not do and I
ensure you all the guidelines given to us were followed.
We were fortunate to have Teresa Fuchs, from animal
control on hand should we have any situations arise.

an annual event designed to
lend opportunity especially
to music students and their
teachers to perform, sharing
their talents with their fami-
lies, friends and the commu-
nity.
Although it not a competi-
tion, this program supports

to enjoy and appreciate our
own level of accomplishment
at any age and at any stage of
learning.

gram has had the opportu-
nity to present many artistic
genres, vocals, instrumentals,
dance, solos, ensembles, etc.
The number of participants
on the program has been as
many as 56! Dues to the
element of time, it has been
the experience that approxi-
mately 30 – 35 participants is
most appreciated.
The program also provides
exposure for the teachers and
others involved in musically
affiliated endeavors in our
community and surrounding
area, and an opportunity to
get to know each other in
our mutual quest…the LOVE
OF MUSIC !
The evening is enjoyed
in an organized yet relaxed
atmosphere with entertain-
ment for everyone!.
This year the Festival of
Music will be held on Thurs-

Spring
Garden Time
Few things are anticipated more in
spring than the arrival of new leaves on the
trees and budding flowers in the garden.
A landscape awash with fresh colors can
brighten the spirit and make anyone want
to head outdoors.
There are many different plants that
begin to show their colors in the spring.
A number of perennials, annuals and trees
begin to flower or show new sprouts come
the springtime. Here are some plants that
can be planted for springtime enjoyment.
Annuals
Looking for first signs of color? Look no
further than these wonderful annuals.
* Alyssum: Starting in April, this cascad-
ing bounty of tiny flowers offers a sweet
aroma that attracts butterflies.
* Dianthus: These vivid flowers also
attract butterflies and are often a cottage
garden staple.
* Gypsophila: Also known as baby’s
breath, these delicate flowers can serve
as filler in any landscape. Pink and white
varieties are available.
* Impatiens: One of the best-known
plants for the garden, these annuals come
in scores of colors and can generally toler-
ate full sun to full shade.
* Larkspur: Belonging to the buttercup
family, these flowers bloom in shades of
white to violet.
* Pansy: These flowers are some of the
earliest spring bloomers, arriving alongside
spring bulbs like tulips.
* Petunias: Petunias put on a show of
color through the entire season, making
them a popular bedding flower.

Garden Tools No Green Thumber Should Go Without
Gardening is a rewarding
hobby and one that gardeners
know is forever evolving. The
following tools are among the
many no gardener should ever be
without.
* Shovels: Gardening might
be relaxing, but it’s no walk in
the park, either. Gardeners can
expect to do lots of digging. A
round-nosed shovel is ideal for
digging holes for plants, while
gardeners can use the flat blade
of a square-nosed shovel to edge
neatly.
* Spading fork: A spading fork
helps gardeners break up soil
that’s too rocky for a shovel to
handle.
* Wheelbarrow: A wheelbar-
row helps ease some of the
physical demand associated with
gardening. Rather than carrying

tools one-by-one or manually
lifting heavy bags of fertilizer or
soil, simply toss these items in
the wheelbarrow to make it easier
to garden throughout the yard.
* Garden hoe: Remove weeds
and work on the soil with a stan-
dard garden hoe. A Dutch hoe is
ideal for larger garden areas as
it’s better for breaking up the soil
before planting, while a draw hoe
is better for working between
plants, such as when weeds need
to be removed.
* Rakes: A rake is not just
effective in late fall when it’s
time to clear the yard of all those
fallen leaves. Leaf rakes can be
used to remove debris, such as
grass clippings, from a garden,
while a garden rake can be used
to spread mulch and smooth out
the soil within the garden.

Did You Know?
Highlighting, or up lighting, is a landscaping technique in which light
from below is used to accent certain focal points in a landscape. In many
instances, the light is used to illuminate a particularly impressive or unique
plant. When highlighting, two or more spot light fixtures are placed at the
base of a landscape component and pointed upward. While highlighting is
most commonly used to illuminate plants, it can be used to draw atten-
tion to other focal points of a landscape as well, including sculptures or
other garden structures. Light fixtures are aimed away from observers as
a means to preventing glare, and oftentimes the fixtures themselves are
camouflaged to maintain the natural beauty of the landscape.
To do or not to do…
We all face decisions on downsizing
an overgrown, weed infested, and
or inferior flowering clump of perennials.
Lack of flowers, weeds coming up within a perennial and or a plant
that has out grown its space – all call for a revival.
The center of the perennial is usually the mature part of the plant,
where flower production has declined. Remove and compost it.
Even when left with small pieces from the peripheral of the plant.
These can be grouped to form a good-sized clump.
Cut away any dying and dead roots from the plant. Reduce the
foliage so the perennial will put its energy to growing new roots.
Return to the earth a healthy transplant.
The following guidelines are based on the typical bloom times of
some of our best-loved perennials. The elements will affect a
plants development so these are approximate timelines.
Spring bloomers – are divided after they bloom.
They include: Iris, Bergenia, Euphorbia, Bleeding Heart,
Moss Phlox, Primula, Lungwort, and Peonies
Summer bloomers – divide or transplant before they bloom
or after they bloom. Aquilegia, Lilies, Delphinium, Daylily,
Poppies, Salvia, Veronica, and Ligularia
Late summer to fall bloomers – divide in spring: Echinacea,
Tall garden Phlox, tall Sedum such as ‘Autumn Joy’,
Monkshood and hardy ‘Mums’

Standard 4-H member raising ‘Hornet’ for charity

Heather Hebbes
Submitted
Nine year old Landon Hebbes
has the privilege of raising the
charity lamb for the Standard
4-H Sheep Club. Landon’s lamb
“Hornet” was born on the fam-
ily farm in January. He will feed,
halter break, wash and trim his
lamb so he will be ready to sell
in June. He is sad to see Hornet
go, but on the other hand is hap-
py to know that he will help his
club raise money for some very
deserving charities.
This year Landon chose to do-
nate half of the proceeds of his
lamb to the Alberta Children’s
Hospital and the other half of the
proceeds to the buyer’s charity
of choice. When Landon’s par-
ents asked him where he want-
ed the charity money to go there
was no hesitation in his decision
to donate to the Children’s Hos-
pital. Landon has many friends
that have benefitted from this
hospital, but there is one young
person that is near and dear to
his heart that has benefitted and
that would be his sister, Kylee.
She has often been seen by
doctors there since birth, 15
years ago. With the help of the
Children’s Hospital, Kylee has
made great progress and is liv-
ing a healthy normal life. Ironi-
cally, Kylee is booked to have
surgery on June 10 by Dr. Clegg
from the Children’s Cardiology
team, and the charity lamb will
be up for sale the very next day,
June 11. Landon is personally
thankful for the expertise and
caring of the doctors, nurses and
all other staff.

International games may come to Strathmore
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Strathmore, Chestermere and Calgary
have begun working to try to bring the
2013 International Children’s Winter
Games, ICG, to the area. Mayor Steve
Grajczyk has been in touch with com-
mittee members from the ICG since at-
tending the winter games in Kelowna
in January about possibly bringing the
games here in 2013.
“I’m very excited,” said Grajczyk.
“It’s super for Strathmore, it’ll put us
on the map.”
The ICG is similar to Olympics for
kids, and brings competitors from all
over the world to the host country.
Richard Smith, Secretary General for
the ICG, was in Strathmore on May 5
to see what Strathmore and the Calgary
area have to offer.
“The window we have at the moment
is 2013, since we had our games 2011
in Kelowna, Canada. We were looking
at another city, they had to postpone,
they said that we can’t do it in 2013. So
they’re doing it 2015 and that would be
Innsbruck, Austria,” said Smith.
“This had to be now, and I’m finding
that all three mayors that I’ve talked
to…these are people saying they would
like to help anyway they can.
“The enthusiasm is there. I under-
stand the mayor of Calgary is also 100
per cent behind the games and is very
happy to hear that his city has the pos-
sibility of doing it.”
The summer games take place every
year in a different country, with 75 dif-
Mayor Steve Grajczyk (l), Holly Cuncannon with Tourism Calgary, Richard Smith Secretary General for
the International Children’s Games, ICG, Dwight Stanford, Chief Executive Officer for the town, tour the
facilities Strathmore has to offer in the event the ICG comes to the area.

ferent countries sending participants.
The winter games are held every other
year, with 40 to 50 countries participat-
ing.
“Everyone seems on board and we’re
happy to work together with what we
call Team Calgary. That includes our
ancillary neighbours of Strathmore, to
work together to use your facilities as
well,” said Holly Cuncannon with Tour-
ism Calgary.
“It is a huge undertaking, but we do
have time on our side. Kelowna did it
in under a year so we definitely have
more than enough time, that shouldn’t
be an issue.”
She said the city is so fortunate that
the facilities from the1988 winter Olym-
pics are still being used. Cuncannon
said Calgary is an example city for host-
ing Olympics, not only for the legacy
they left behind but also for the build-
ings.
They plan to use the existing infra-
structure so no new buildings will be
needed.
The idea is to have Calgary be the hub,
hosting accommodations and dinner for
the VIP’s and participants. Strathmore
will likely host the girls hockey, and
possibly a few other sports.
Smith said the goal of the Internation-
al Children’s Games is using sports to
achieve cultural interaction, and if you
decentralize it then there is no interac-
tion. He said there have been lifelong
lasting friendships coming out of games,
and Olympic Medal winners. While it is
yet to be officially determined that the
three communities will join together to

bring the ICG here, Smith feels fairly
confident it will happen.
“At the moment there are no other
candidates. I sincerely believe that if
nothing major happens in the next two
or three months, there is no reason the
games can not come here,” said Smith.
“That is my feeling at the moment. I’m
positively standing right behind mayors
from these three cities…but again I’m
only one person from the entire com-
mittee.”
The committee is made up of 19 peo-
ple from 12 different countries. If the
Calgary area is successful, it will be only
the second time Canada has held the

this past January in Kelowna. The sum-
mer games have been previously held

Strathmore’s lacrosse teams have started their season.

Venom improve each game
The Strathmore Venom girls bantam team is making tremendous strides early this lacrosse season. Despite losing 3-1 to the South Fish Creek
Sabrecats on May 3 and 4-0 to the South Fish Creek Axemen on May 6, the girls continue to improve every game.
Shockey returns to guide the herd
Mario Pruisna
Times Editor
After enjoying a successful first year behind the
bench, head coach Parry Shockey is already looking
forward to next season.
The UFA Bisons confirmed last week that Shockey
will indeed guide the herd for the upcoming
2011-2012 season, after the two sides came
to an agreement.
The well-known coach, who guided the
Bisons to an 18-10-6 record last season, is
looking forward to the challenge of coach-
ing a team filled with new faces.
“We’re hoping that they move on,” said
Shockey of the existing players. “That’s the
sign of a successful season, when your play-
ers move on. We’re hoping that they find a
place to play and get an opportunity to live
the dream.
“Midget is a really tough place to coach
because of the turnover, but that’s part of
hockey and part of the excitement of coaching.
“As much as you want to win, it really is about devel-
oping (the players).”
Even though he is preparing for the upcoming season
with no returning players, Shockey said he will not ad-
just his coaching style no matter who makes the squad.
Team officials expect zero to two returning players.
“I don’t think that anything is going to change,” he
said. “The structure, the discipline, the accountability
– those are qualities to making good hockey players.”
Shockey began his coaching career in the 1993-94
season, as an assistant coach to Mike Babcock and the
Lethbridge Proghorns of the CIAU, where he won a Na-
tional Title.
The following two seasons, he was assistant coach
Photos courtesy of Martin Eisbrenner
with the Spokane Chiefs (WHL), winning the confer-
ence championship.
Shockey took over as head coach of the Lethbridge
Hurricanes for the 1996-97 season, leading them to the
Western Hockey League Championship and a finalist
for the Memorial Cup.
He followed up his championship season by guiding
the Regina Pats to a conference champion-
ship, before becoming part-time colour ana-
lyst for the Calgary Hitmen radio broadcast
team for the 1998-99 season.
He began as a part-time scout for the
NHL’s Los Angles Kings during the 1998 sea-
son, before joining them as their full time
Western Scout from 2000-04.
Shockey was head coach and Director of
Hockey Operations for the Moose Jaw War-
riors for the 2004 season, before taking time
away from the game.
Last season, Shockey guided the Bisons
to the South Division Championship Series,
where they lost to Red Deer in a best-of-five
series.
After a great season, the Bisons are optimistic for the
future.
“Not that our players didn’t respect our coaches in the
past, but when you have a coach with his history - it’s
automatic, instant respect,” said Bisons General Man-
ager Neil Glionna. “He’s been to the next step, so he
knows what these players are in for. If they think it’s
going to be a piece of cake - well it’s not.”
During his career, Shockey has coached NHL players
such as Bryan McCabe, Brad Stuart, Barret Jackman,
Chris Phillips, Kyle Calder, Dustin Boyd and 2010 Stan-
ley Cup Champion, Troy Brouwer.
The Bisons are hoping to add a few more names to
the list in the near future.
On May 7, the bantam C team began the days games,
followed by the peewee team.

Venom teams
put up a tough game
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
The lacrosse season has officially started,
and almost nightly people can stop by the
Family Centre and see different teams play-
ing. On May 7 the bantam C played their first
game of the season against the Calgary Axe-
men.
“It was tough. We played a team that’s in
their third game, and that was our first game
of the season. So we had to get up to game
speed in a hurry,” said coach Mark Gron.
Gron said the boys have been practicing
hard, working on their basic skills, and have
made great improvements. It showed as they
kept up a fast pace with the Axemen for all
three periods. In the end the bantam C Ven-
om took the lead, ending the game 7-6.
Gron said Kaleb Robinson is a second year
player, and had really stepped up during the
game. He also said goalie Garrett Gatt played
really well.
The peewee team also had their chance in
the home arena on May 7. It was their second
game of the season and with the exception
of some easy mistakes it was a good game.
“I thought it went really well. I thought the
kids were picking up a lot of things we’re
trying teach them and coach them for,” said
John Bartlett, assistant to the team.
“I thought they were well prepared for this
game. They came, and they were executing
what we’ve taught them to do.”
The final score for the peewee game was
2-5, for the opponent. Both teams have had
a chance to get another game in since May 7,
though the scores for those games were not
available as of press time.

Badminton provincials a success

Strathmore High School, SHS,
hosted their first ASAA badminton
provincials this past weekend, May
6 and 7. There were 87 schools in-
volved, bringingtogether 240 athletes
from all over the province.
“Provincials were excellent thanks
to the dedication and effort of Strath-

as well as community members,” said

“As a result we were graciously

adequately stepped in to fill spots

Spartans rugby season has begun!

Jenna Campbell
Times Junior Reporter
The Strathmore High School’s boys
and girls rugby teams kicked off the
season with each playing their first
league game of the year on May 5.
The teams played against Highwood
High School in Strathmore, both fin-
ishing with two very close games. The
girls fought hard, holding the lead for a
majority of the game, but unfortunate-
ly lost 17-10.
The boys also played a strong game,
but ended up losing with a close score
of 14-10. With a majority of the play-
ers from both teams being new to the
game, the coaches feel there is a strong
athletic ability to build on.
Head Coach of the boys team, Brad
Steele, was extremely happy in how
thinks the boys need to start play-
ing more together as a team, and he
strongly emphasizes the need to win
the rucks and mauls.
“They surprised me on Thursday. I
hope they do the same tomorrow.”
Similarly to the boys, a lack of knowl-
edge of the game was the same factor
that was holding the girls back. Head
coach Jerry Flaws thinks that this past
weekend was a major learning expe-
rience for the girls. The team played
two games on Friday and two games
on Saturday, May 6-7, in a tournament
in Vulcan.
“We have twenty girls who have
never played 15’s rugby before. Their
knowledge of the game has vastly im-
proved and I think when we take this
back to league, we’re going to be a
whole new team because of it,” he said.
Flaws believes winning zones to be
“The staff and school received nu-
merous compliments on the organi-
zation, and running of the tourna-
ment from coaches, parents, school
board members and athletes.”
There were only two local teams
taking part in provincials; an inter-
mediate doubles team from Standard
and a junior girls singles player from
SHS. The high school did have an-
other team win gold at zones and
have a chance to participate in pro-
vincials, but the team was unable to
make it.
Despite the fact that the tourna-
also manned the numerous positions
at the four schools used at the tour-
nament. We feel fortunate that we
had such capable volunteers, and are
grateful for their outstanding efforts.”
Zandee said they want to thank all
of the hotels and restaurants who
helped accommodate all of the ath-
letes and visitors to Strathmore, and
the individuals who helped make the
tournament a success.
Zandee said the level of badminton
played was fantastic and a treat for
all of the people who were able to
attend.

the boys played and feels that they sur-
passed his expectations. He believes
this season is going to be tough com-
pared to last year, given the team’s lack
of grade twelve players.
Ultimately for the season, Steele al-
ways holds provincials as a goal, but
realistically hopes for, “just as many
victories as possible.”
In order to be successful, Steele

the team’s most realistic goal. In order
to get through zones and on to provin-
