October 1, 2010 Strathmore Times

SHANNON LECLAIRTimes Reporter

The Chamber of Commerce has part-nered with the Town of Strathmore to host an All Candidates Forum at the Civic Cen-tre on Oct. 7. The forum will begin at 7 p.m. and is open for everyone and anyone to attend and voice their questions and concerns to the 2010 candidates.

“There wouldn’t be enough time for council and the mayor to answer questions so we’ve chosen just to have mayoral can-didates answer questions, but we will have all of the council candidates there too,” said Lin Walker with the Chamber.

The Chamber is encouraging people to prepare questions for the candidates. All questions for the mayoralty candidates are to be submitted in writing. They request the questions be submitted prior to the fo-rum either by e-mail or to the Chamber offices.

There will be a moderator presenting the questions to the candidates, and before the forum the moderator will be going through the questions to make sure the same ones aren’t repeated. Any repetitive questions will be consolidated into one question.

“If we do it this way, what it does is it does away with repetitive questions maybe just phrased a bit different. We know one of the top questions is going to do with the highway realignment,” said Walker.

Meanwhile, the Strathmore Times will be hosting their own electoral candidates open house Oct. 5 and again on Oct. 7 (4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.) at the Day’s Inn Strathmore. Individual candidates from the Town of Strathmore, Wheatland County, Golden Hills School Division, the Village of Rockyford and the Village of Hussar will be offered an opprotunity to take part in the event. Residents are encouraged to visit the Strathmore Times website (www.strathmoretimes.com) or Facebook page for a complete list of candidates who will be available. It should be noted that the Town of Strathmore has two forums dur-ing the aforementioned dates, and elec-toral candidates for the town will more than likely only be available until 6:30 p.m. Please check the Times website for their exact times.

Petting zoo fun Toddle Inn Day Care held its grand reopening on Sept. 25, bringing in a petting zoo for the kids and wine and coffee for the parents. In 2009 Toddle Inn was able to purchase the building from Marge and Albert Boesenkool. Albert Boesenkool provided the land and built the home for the Toddle Inn Day Care Society, opening in 1986. Because of the support and all of the guidance the Boesenkool family has provided throughout the years, Toddle Inn dedicated their baby room to Albert’s memory and his family’s continued commitment. Jayden Clark, 19 months old, couldn’t get enough of the animals and wanted to show her love by hugging as many as she could.

The Wheatland Whirlers Square Dance Club held a night of dance at Westmount Elementary School on Sept. 22. There were demonstrations of a variety of different dances. There was round dancing, which is a cho-reographed ballroom dance, and they also showed clogging, which is basi-cally tap dance.

“It’s very pretty when you watch it. It’s a wonderful way of getting exer-cise, to music,” said Pius Sauverwald a member of the Wheatland Whirlers.

The club has been in existence for more than 30 years and they would like to see more people become in-terested in square dancing, which is almost like a folk dance, said Sauver-wald.

The whole night wasn’t just about demonstrations. The club was also teaching the participants some of the different steps and styles to each par-

ticular dance. People were asked to come down in comfortable clothes and shoes ,and everyone from 10 years old and up were welcome to take part in the night.

There were more than seven squares on the dance floor, with eight people per square. While the club may hold another ‘Lets Dance’ night, Sauverwald said it wouldn’t be this year.

Starting on October 6, lessons will begin at Westmount school. There is no need to sign up in advance for les-sons; anyone can drop in at the start of a lesson any Wednesday. The les-sons will be offered for 28 weeks, un-til approximately April 27, and they start at 7 p.m. every Wednesday night.

Not only is it a great way to get into shape, it’s easily affordable for every-one.

“You’re walking to music and we’ve measured it, various people have put on a pedometer and people take over 14,000 steps in one evening,” said Sau-verwald. Each lesson runs for an hour.

Siksika Nation celebrated the 133rd commemoration of the signing of Treaty #7 at Blackfoot Crossing Histori-cal Park on Sept. 22. Mem-bers of the community and visitors spent a day at the park to take part in celebrat-ing the historical event.

The original treaty nego-tiations between the Black-foot Confederacy and the Crown took place on Sept. 22, 1877 at Blackfoot Cross-ing. The treaty has been very important to Siksika. For the 100th commeration, in 1977,

Prince Charles represented the Crown in a re-enactment of the 1877 signing ceremo-ny.

“The treaty and the lan-guage in the treaty…when we look at it today it’s kind of different because I guess the times back then, they were different but some of those treaty rights still stand today,” said Shane Breaker, Vice-President of Marketing & Public Relations for the historical park.

The original signing didn’t take place exactly where the park is located, but instead took place directly west of the historical park’s location.

“That’s the reasoning be-hind the location is to over-look that whole area, and the signing itself took place west of the Bow River, within that area. So when people come they kind of get the big pic-ture of the whole area and the imagery of Tipis in the valley…,” said Breaker.

There were well over 100 people at the commemora-tion, keeping interpreters busy with questions and tours.

Guests were able to enjoy watching the cross-country race, eating burgers or hot-dogs from the BBQ, and they were able to watch a

powwow dance competition that had close to 60 dancers participating.

“A lot of community mem-bers wanted to come out and learn more about the treaty that they’re within,” said Breaker.

“I think the weather kind of maybe scared away a few people but it turned out nice in the afternoon.”

People also were able to go through the interpretive centre and learn, even more about the Blackfoot culture.

The Blackfoot Confedera-cy is comprised of the Sik-sika, Kainai, and Peigan Na-tions of Southern Alberta.

Q: What recourse do I have for poor service or overcharging?

The Alberta Funeral Service Regulatory Board (AFSRB) is the governing body of funeral practice in Alberta. If at any point you believe you are being mistreated by a funeral home, the AFSRB should be contacted. They will investigate your claims to ensure that both their standards, and the standards written in Alberta legislation are being upheld. In the funeral industry, due to the sensitive nature of the business, ethical behavior is expected, and legally required from every funeral service professional. A funeral director, embalmer, or entire funeral service business can lose their license if the AFSRB finds that their behavior does not comply with the legislation or high ethical standards that are expected of our industry.

Jack de Keyzer and his band, from Calgary, had people dancing, or at the very least toe-tapping in their seats. One guest even stated, “That cat can really play the guitar.” Greg Go-dovitz took care of the bass and Brad Carter was on the drums.

Looking up to the stars is some-thing that not everyone can enjoy these days, especially if they live in the city or a larger community. For one night, people are invited to head down to the Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park where Royal Astronomical Society of Canada astronomers will show attendees about Siksika constel-lations.

This is the final stare gazing

night for the year, said Shane Breaker, Vice-President of Mar-keting and Public Relations for the Historical Park.

“It’s an opportunity for stu-dents, young people, or just in-terested people to come out and check out these telescopes and learn more but also combine Blackfoot legends of the stars with today’s astronomy,” said Breaker.

“Last year I think we had about seven or eight telescopes set up.”

Breaker isn’t talking about the

small telescopes people can pick up at Walmart.

“These are like high end, I guess consumer telescopes, they are the type you can plug in a cord and it follows a star or satel-lite,” said Breaker.

Last year they were following the Hubble space telescope.

At 7 p.m. on Oct. 2 people can gather in the Vision Quest The-atre to listen to storytelling or drumming and watch some of the authentic dances before gather-ing in the parking lot at 8:30 p.m.

Look up to the stars


A few parents in Gleichen de-cided four years ago to band to-gether to make the park more attractive and safe for their kids. It’s been four years in the mak-ing, and while there is still a lot of work to go, things are finally starting to fall into place.

“Basically the intent was be-cause we all have kids, we just wanted some new equipment for the kids,” said Paula Pietro-bono, head of the park rejuvena-tion project.

The park is located just down the street from the school on 7 Ave., close to the homes of most of the people who are on the board.

Pietrobono took over two years ago, though the woman who originally spearheaded the project still sits on the board. A few years ago the group paint-ed all of the existing equip-

ment and put new seats on the swings, and recently they were able to add three new additions to the park.

“In the last two years we’ve (Gleichen) been able to (com-plete) a lot of projects and have actually gotten done because a lot of people moving here and people that are living here. It’s sort of like we’re coming togeth-er with a sense of pride and just wanting to really get things go-ing,” said Pietrobono.

The three new pieces of equip-ment they were able to bring in, thanks to fundraising efforts, are the crazy cup, a rocking horse and Bernie the bus. Bernie can easily have 10 children jump in and literally bounce around. The past few months Gleichen as a community has seen numerous projects being started or com-pleted, joining together to fund-raise and refresh the hamlet.

“It’s really changed, the are-na is getting done, the park;

the campground, they’ve made some changes up there and with our park here. It’s really good, I think it’s moving forward,” said Pietrobono.

The park rejuvenation proj-ect isn’t done yet but there are more fundraising events being planned.

“People think, ‘oh it’s easy’ but there is so much prep work to do and phone calls and ev-erything has to be in order, to even get a small amount of work done,” said Pietrobono.

She said everything is coming together in small steps, but is confident if everyone comes on board they will be able to get a lot more accomplished. Pietro-bono is hoping now that the new equipment is in, more communi-ty members will come on board and help keep the project mov-ing forward. The plan for now is to raise anything they can before applying for grants, which will match the amount raised.

As a Real Estate Agent in Strathmore (since 1999), I have had the opportunity to meet many residents (both old and new). I know the heartbeat of this town and I would like to use my strong negotiating skills to address the following:

1. Relocation of #1 Highway: One of the most talked about problems is the #1 High-way Relocation. The Relocation has been on the Government’s mind for the past 10 years. Although it will be another 10 – 15 years be-fore it happens, this uncertainty is already chasing away new business. It is also caus-ing a great deal of division within Strathmore. By having a solution, we as a town can ap-proach the Government with a (Bald “Win-Win”) proposal. I have a solution that will help the town, save the farmland and taxes as well visit my website www.kevinbaldwinformayor.com.)

2. Building on the Strengths of Strathmore: Strathmore is a great community for families and children to grow up in. The families I meet all say the same things.

“teachers in Calgary highly recommend the teachers and school system here”

“the hospital system is personable with great staff and much shorter waiting times than in Calgary”

“the Town staff are friendly and helpful”3.Addressing the Needs of Strathmore: • with the aging population, families ask

about services for their parents as well as their children. We need to address these needs by accessing Government grants and with income generating ideas.

• we need to find ways to support more recreational activities for our seniors as well as our youth

• beautification of our town (including the highway areas)

• resolve town irrigation issues• slow down the traffic on Centre Street• accountability and transparency of town

officialsAs Mayor, together with Council, we will lis-

ten to our Citizens, build on our strengths and make our community #1 in Alberta.

Town of Strathmore

MAYORAL

Kevin Baldwin

Strathmore is a great place to call home. I am running to make it better and with your support; we can do it.

In the past few weeks, I have been actively engaging with Strathmore residents to find out how to best serve the people of this great town. Some of the key campaign objectives I want to focus on include:

Accountability Your Mayor and Council must be approach-

able and fully accountable to you. Your elect-ed officials should not be holding closed door meetings when it is not necessary. I support monthly reporting of all expense claims sub-mitted by each council member.

Supporting Business We need to promote and support our exist-

ing businesses. Your Mayor and Council need to work together to create a partnership that

ensures local businesses become stronger and more successful; providing jobs that gen-erate a living wage, a future and a reason to stay and raise your family.

Supporting Community We need to work with our neighbors and

community groups.Promoting Tourism Strathmore is an oasis in the middle of the

prairie and has the potential of attracting tour-ists and their dollars. In order to do this we must expand and improve our parks, our wet-lands and opportunities for camping and sum-mer recreation. Our wetlands and parks will be the gem of our future.

Future Planning We need a coordinated plan for our aging

population. The public - private partnership for a seniors development is not enough. To ex-plore other viable options, I plan to meet with church groups that are expressing their desire to meet the demands for senior’s housing and care facilities.

I am excited about the future for our town and pleased to see the interest being ex-pressed by residents to find leaders that will work for the betterment of our community.

If I get elected, first I must cooperate with the other elected officials, town staff and the people of Strathmore. Secondly, we must be transparent and honest in all our elected duties. Thirdly, we MUST encourage indus-trial commercial development to offset our residential tax base and that is to keep up

with maintaining our current infrastructure. Next, we must continue and work with the ag society for the development of a multi use rec facility. Also, we must promote the development of reasonable senior home care facilities and lost cost housing that will be a crisis in the next few years. The proper structuring and working with transportation as to how the hwy should proceed through or around Strathmore. There are many other issues plus the everyday house keeping du-ties of council. Remember, three years goes by fast; this is from the man who has the time, will and knowledge to be your mayor.

When contacted by the Strathmore Times, Mr. Freeland declined the opportunity to leave a comment.

Just a little background for those who have yet met me. I am 63 years young, married, four children and five grandchildren. I was born and raised in Drumheller, Alberta.

I moved to Calgary at age 20 where I worked for Canadian Western Natural Gas for eight years. I was accepted by the Calgary Fire Dept. and retired after 32 years as Cap-tain and acting District Chief.

I also co-owned and operated a roofing business, which was in operation for 30 years. My wife and I moved to Strathmore in 2004. My career in public service and in my private business has been a definite asset to dealing with community issues.

I have now served as Mayor for three years. I am on executive Board of Calgary Regional

Partnership. Voting member at Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Member of Alta Ur-ban Municipalities Association. I also belong to 26 committees in Strathmore.

I have fought every step of the way for the Town of Strathmore and will continue to do so.

Here are some of my key platform issues;• Work with council and people to begin es-

tablishing a museum, • There are many parts of infrastructure that

needs rebuilding, roads to be repaved, more work to be done with recreations and parks.

• Remain a strong advocate for our hospi-tal.

• Work with the downtown businesses on a beautification and revitalization program.

• Work with all people on Identity for Strath-more, one that is unique to our town alone.

• Work with developers and builders to keep and make Strathmore diverse commu-nity as well as economically affordable for people of all ages.

• Work to attract new businesses to Strath-more.

• Remain a strong voice for the people con-cerning the Highway bypass.

My primary objective for the campaign is to alert the people of Strathmore about the im-portant issues that will need to be addressed by the new council and to remind Strathmore that what we need in the Mayoral seat is a strong individual with experience, new ideas and commitment to the community.

Many people comment on my young age, however, historically, there have been prime ministers, army generals and mayors younger than I, who all had one thing in common – the wisdom to trust the team assembled around them and work with them, igniting their pas-sions and utilizing their strengths. That is my primary goal for this election campaign – to work with the team and people of Strath-more, as well as strengthened relationships with Wheatland County and our neighbouring communities to accomplish the many goals

set before us. The primary goal for the future of this town

should be family oriented – the town should continue to move toward completing the fam-ily dynamics of the community. This includes developing bike paths for families to increase the extracurricular activities available.

Other issues that the council will need ad-dress quickly are the highway ring road which will provide easier, safer access to the busi-nesses south of Highway 1, as well as the general condition of our roads to increase mobility throughout town. Dealing with these issues sooner rather than later will increase the safety of our streets.

Affordable places to live are always on everyone’s mind – and I believe the town should continue to provide affordable hous-ing, as well as work with developers to build homes to see our population grow to expand the future of our town. By increasing housing, we will also be able to attract businesses to Strathmore to expand the business sector and employment opportunities available lo-cally. Likewise, the council needs to lobby the provincial government to take care of our ag-ing population by providing more extended-care beds.

Town of Strathmore

COUNCIL

Over the past few weeks there have been many things said and done. Innuendoes, name calling, mud slinging, and cheap poli-ticing. I don’t believe that is the way to run an election. It lacks true leadership. We need effective, proven leadership, which is bal-anced, responsible and practical, to ensure the best for our community. Over the past six years I have endeavoured to be that per-son.

Leaders should not be defined by their popularity, but by their ability to share credit and admit errors. The ability to utilize moti-vation, and partnering for the greater good. Leadership is not about quick fixes, clever slogans, or dividing citizens. Sometimes leadership in public office means telling citizens what they need to know rather than what they want to hear. Leadership is the

ability to learn and to expand your views, set goals, and take the initiative to reach those goals.

I know that the answers and solutions will only evolve over time with the proper lead-ership, facilitation and an acute amount of public interaction. I subscribe to a firm belief that lasting, positive results are only achieved through hard work, and co-operation.

The highway #1 by-pass IS NOT in Strath-more’s best interest. But with tact, diploma-cy and a co-operative partnership with the province it can and will be resolved.

Watering restrictions are an issue. I believe there is a need to conserve water but the current restrictions are too imposing.

We need a down town beautification plan. And, my thoughts on Recreational Vehi-

cles are well documented.I believe I have the experience, knowledge,

leadership and commitment that are critical to sit on Strathmore’s next Town Council.

On October 18th make your “Best” choice and re-elect me, Earl Best, to YOUR Town Council.

If you have any questions please call me at 403-934-6300.

Meet the candidates - Election 2010

My wife, Ellie and myself have lived in Strathmore for over ten years. We have four children and 11 grandchildren. We own and operate two businesses in Strathmore.

I talk to a lot of people daily and together with my family support, business colleagues and all my faithful customers, I have decid-ed to run for council seat.

As I enter week two of this election cam-paign, I realize there are some major issues at hand, as well as a lot of discontent with the present state of affairs.

I, Rocky will not get involved in any mud-slinging, naming people or accusations. I, Rocky will maintain a steady daily race of who I am and what I stand for.

What do I stand for?I believe my platform is quite basic and

straightforward. We need accountability, ef-ficiency, honesty, transparency and respect at council level. “Respect” is a seven-letter word, and I am suggesting the next seven elected officials better learn to use it, both in regards to people and policy.

I would like to bring with me a no-non-sense, common sense and business sense of which I am well rehearsed in.

Let’s look at policies, both existing and new ones coming in. Lets be accountable, and above all, transparent and honest.

After all, you the taxpayers of Strathmore, on October 18, are going to place seven of us in council chambers.

In closing, there are lots of issues at stake and with your vote, I will speak, debate, vote and work with council on your behalf and do what is best for Strathmore. I believe I can bring a fresh, new approach to council with forward thinking.

Vote Rocky for council. Vote October 18, 2010.

RockyBlockland

My main objective in running for Town Council is to have a community strongly represented.

My hope is to have a council in place that works together with guided leadership and

support; integrity; accountability and genu-ineness.

The role of councillor, to me, is to support the community by listening and actively ad-dressing the needs of the whole community to the best of a councillors ability.

As we have multi-generational residents I cannot assume to know all there is to know as I am only one perspective.

I will work towards linking pathways, safety enforcement, and support economic development while being financially respon-sible with Town resources.

“Strathmore as a Destination” establish a Task Force.

Public Safety and increase enforcement.Openness and accountability of Council,

Review Taxes.Snow Removal.Community development planning has to

include affordable Senior housing.Hiring of a Economic Development Offi-

cer with a clear mandate.Calgary water pipeline has left a lot of

questions unanswered.Establish a recreation area at the site of

the water reservoir lake NW of town.I believe Strathmore needs to be taken to

the next level and believe I can offer solid business background and vision for our growing future. I have personally been in-volved and seen community revitalization and growth- communities such as Che-mainus BC, Lacombe AB, Drumheller AB, Langford BC, Rosebud AB and Radium BC.

Strathmore requires an identity and needs to be a destination to draw more people to our community for industry, commerce and culture.

Governing in demanding times requires good business, good judgement and some common sense.

History can’t be rewritten, and finger pointing will not help, we all need to work together, Council, Chamber of Commerce, AG Society, Service Groups, WID and the public to grow the vision.

If you believe in a “Vision” for our Com-munity, please support my bid for Council-lor.

BillCooper

I have lived in Strathmore since 1983 and am currently in my 28th year of teaching at Strathmore High School. As a high school teacher and volunteer coach, I wasn’t able to find the extra time to run for Town Council until now. I do have strong feelings on certain issues; therefore my main objectives for the 2010 Election Campaign are quite straight-forward.

First of all, I support the businesses threat-ened by the proposed move of the Trans Canada Highway. We need to exhaust every idea regarding keeping the Trans Canada in its current location instead of giving in. In ad-dition to working for them, I’d like to work with the council and downtown businesses to revitalize this area with the least impact on taxes. There are many empty buildings and

we must find ways to return more stores to our downtown core.

Providing recreational opportunities for families is extremely important. There should be more emphasis in future subdivisions on developing parks and recreational facilities. It would be great to see more sports courts, more expansive parks with playground equipment, and interconnected pathways for all ages.

I’d also like to foster stronger relations with the fire and police departments, as well as with our bylaw officers. We should be able to find ways to match up the needs of these ser-vices with the Town’s.

Seniors have played a vital role in the de-velopment of Strathmore. We need to ensure we have enough extended care beds and that housing for able seniors is available and af-fordable.

I would also like to explore the feasibility of hiring a full-time Economic Development Of-ficer for Strathmore.

Finally, as far as the campaign itself, I want to run mine honorably. I sincerely believe there are honest and dedicated candidates in this election and I wish them all good luck.

PatFule

My areas of concern, is there has to be an alternative to the proposed ring road. The current proposal would adversely affect our local business community, which would have a ripple effect on the community as a whole. An economic development officer is needed to attract both light and heavy industry to our town. The spin offs would be an eco-nomic windfall for the town, as jobs would

be created and we would enjoy a better tax base. There has to be more openness and accountability with a new council. The new council will have to remember, they are work-ing for the people who elected them! There are other areas that I would like to address during the next three years if elected which are, researching the viability for a full time fire department, seniors, affordable housing, in-frastructure for the town, which would include revisiting the irrigation system, recreational facilities such as more ball diamonds, hock-ey rinks and completing the walking paths throughout the town. And finally, as the town grows, to maintaining the level of local law enforcement with both the RCMP, the towns Peace Officers and Bylaw Officers.

Dave Hamilton

I read or heard a quote once, and I apol-ogize to the author if he or she reads this article, as I am unable to identify them. I thought it so fitting to life in general, that I keep it on my blackberry as a constant re-minder of what to strive for.

“Take charge in making a difference”- To be totally honest, my primary objec-

tive for this campaign is to get elected to town council. The path I take to achieve this goal consists of several other main objec-tives.

- To get out, meet and speak with as many residents and business owner/operators as possible. As of late, we hear through the media polls as well as submitted articles, the many concerns of residents and busi-nesses alike. As accurate as these polls and articles appear, there is nothing like hearing it from the source. Not only hearing the con-cerns but the ideas and suggestions on how these problems may be rectified.

- I want the residents and businesses of Strathmore to know their thoughts, ideas, and concerns about our town and its future matter and they can have a voice on town council.

- I want to encourage ALL residents of Strathmore to “take charge in making a dif-ference”, and come out to vote on October 18, 2010.

What will I do for Strathmore??My advocacy will always be in the interest

of the majority but this does not mean the other viewpoint was not considered.

I will publicly oppose the re-routing of Highway 1. However, because highway 1 falls under federal jurisdiction I will have to consider the pros and cons of the re-align-ment.

I will publicly say that we need an Eco-nomic Development Officer. This position will help bring economic growth to create jobs for our residents so they can afford homes and families.

I will search for grant monies and funds that are available.

I will continuously review policies and pro-cedures to ensure changes if required.

I will research options for commuters to get to Calgary in an affordable and timely

manner.I am a life long learner and will not be-

come complacent with the responsibilities of council.

Why should YOU vote for ME??I am very accountable and transparent. I believe all taxpayers should be able to

have information of all the aspects of public business.

I can dedicate the hours of time to be an effective member of town council. As a busi-ness owner I can take off the time I need.

I understand the need for walking paths and dog runs.

I understand the clearing of road dilem-mas and how to overcome this and other challenges.

I understand budgets. I am committed and welcome huge chal-

lenges.Who am I?I’m a 17 year Strathmore resident.I understand and have served people of

all ages and all walks of life.I DESIRE to be a member of public ser-

vice.I am here to work for you.

Town of Strathmore

COUNCIL

After attending numerous town council meetings, I decided that with my experience to run again for council. I previously served on town council from 1989 to 2001. I am very concerned about our present economy and the uncertain economic times we may be facing. That being said, one of my main

objectives if elected is to make sure the spending of taxpayers’ dollars is done in an effective and prudent manner. It may be time to examine all town operations to see if they are cost efficient and run in the most effective manner. I believe council should go over the budget with a fine toothcomb and ask administration to justify their spending proposals with the right questions. Other concerns like what should happen to High-way #1. That is the privy of the provincial government but maybe we can have some influence on the outcome, as long as we do not become to entrenched in our views and are willing to compromise.

Meet the candidates

My Key Issues this election are; (1) Ad-equate Seniors Care. Seniors care in Alberta is rated among the lowest in the country.Having been a board member of the Wheat-land Housing Authority, I have first hand knowledge of the level of care our seniors can expect from our government. The peo-ple in Alberta that require government as-sistance, mainly the elderly and people with special Needs are all but forgotten by the Alberta government. The latest example of that is home care services. This service has been instrumental in allowing not only se-niors, but other people with special needs to remain in their homes, thus taking the pres-sure off our lodges and extended care facili-ties. (2) Affordable Housing (or lack thereof)

is of serious concern too me. It has been a project that has taken to many years to get off the ground. It appears that everything has been formalized and the project is about to begin. (3) Economic Development. There are numerous Developers that are prepar-ing area structure plans (ASP) for subdivi-sions in Strathmore that have a good mix of residential and commercial components.Development along the highway is being ac-tively pursued. With the annexation being completed this year, we have more Highway frontage for development. Additional high-way frontage through Strathmore makes it more attractive for commercial or light In-dustrial development along the highway.Sustainable environmental friendly industry would be a tremendous asset to Strathmore.

In the near future when the corridor for the realignment of the highway is established, and the portion of highway through Town becomes a local road, developers will be able to come up with more creative ideas for businesses along the highway that cater to the needs of the people that will come to Strathmore to support our businesses.

John Rempel

I am married (Gina) with three adult chil-dren (Denise, Jon and Tom) and one grand-child (Aryn). Upon completing 30 years of service as a peace officer with the RCMP in 2003, I chose to move to Strathmore and open a coffee shop (original Boulevard Café). I decided to run for Town Council in 2007 because I felt that, although I re-ally liked living in this town, things could im-prove. I was fortunate enough to be elected and have spent the last three years working towards that goal. I know, however, that the job is not done. The recent annexation of 18 ½ quarters of land will present Council and Administration with many issues which will require common sense, integrity, profession-

alism, honesty and transparency. If elected, I will continue to demonstrate those qualities as a Councillor for Strathmore. My goals are to continue to focus on safe communities, to continue lobbying for a Strathmore Extend-ed Care Facility, upgrades and expansion of our Hospital, a more realistic and respon-sible Trans Canada by-pass route and to purse a formal plan for Downtown revitaliza-tion. Lastly, our Council was instrumental in introducing the “Quality of Life” Master Plan (2010), which is designed to guide decision-making with regards to future parks, recre-ation and cultural facilities for Strathmore (can be located on the Town of Strathmore Web Site by searching “quality of life mas-ter plan” in the search site). This is a docu-ment which saw substantial public input and it will be my intention that this plan be in the forefront of planning and budget meetings. Having lived and visited many municipalities in Alberta, I know how fortunate I am to live in Strathmore. It is my intention to maintain and even improve on that quality.

LoisWegener

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Citizens of Strathmore for taking the time from their busy schedules to consider the new direction that they would like to see our Municipal Government put forward. Now is a unique time in our recent history to create positive and lasting im-provements for our Community. Obviously not everyone will agree with what those im-provements should be and how we get there but I feel with respectful dialogue all ideas can be considered for discussion. Highway #1 Re-alignment, an Economic Develop-ment Officer and the Down Town Core have monopolized one Local Paper. Those topics are extremely valid for discussion and effect us all in some way but they are not the only subjects on the minds of the Voters. I will be submitting my thoughts on various subjects

throughout the campaign. I am now and forever opposed to moving, renovating or building a new Town Office. To a any secret undisclosed location as previously printed in the Standard or the Kinsmen Lake area for-merly the CPR Right of Way. The Town Office was built in 1980. At that time, we the Citi-zens of Strathmore were promised to never again suffer the financial burden of the cost another structure would create. Furthermore I am opposed to the salary increase for the Councillors and Mayor that was proposed by the Town Management. (Council Meeting #10-C18. Policy No. 1806 Date: September 15th, 2010. Submitted By: Betty Gaskarth, Administration. Recommended Action: That Council approve Policy #1806 - Council Re-muneration & Expense Policy as amended. Mayor’s Salary to increase from $26,780.00 per year to $44,000.00 and Councillor’s Salary to increase from $15,450.00 to $22,000.00.) It was the recommendation of Administration to have this outlandish in-crease. I will vote loudly against any such increase if entrusted by you the Citizens of Strathmore to be your representative on Council.

John Whieldon


Village of

ROCKYFORD

I was first elected to Rockyford Village Council in October 1998. During these years on council I have learned that as elected of-ficials we need to be good listeners. We have to respect the fact that everyone has an opinion and has the right to express it and that we make sound decisions based on public input and supportive research. We

also have to consider how the decision will impact the municipality, our residents and our neighbors.

My main objectives for the 2010 elec-tion are to continue to work with neighbor-ing municipalites to secure a regional water source. I will also be working diligently to secure the funding from Alberta Infrastruc-ture for our sewage lagoon expansion. Once the funding has been approved we will then be able to move forward with the construc-tion of the north residential subdivison. As a councilor, I would continue to promote Rockyford as a welcoming community that is a great place to raise a family, start a busi-ness, or a place to retire or small town living at its finest.

DarcyBurke


I am Juliann Gaudet (aka Julie), a resident of Rockyford since 2004 and a Rockyford councilor since 2007. My past experiences include legal secretary, courthouse adminis-trator, manager for the Nakusp BC Chamber of Commerce and their economic develop-ment officer.

What are my main objectives for the 2010 election Campaign? I am pro-development

and pro-growth. Our Village has shrunk over the past few years; we need new people with new thinking and a new direction. We need to do what we need to do to cause business-es in our Village to succeed. I believe grow-ing Rockyford will spread the tax burden and create some ease for our many retired citizens. I see my first term as a training ses-sion; I can do so much more in the next three years. My first term, combined with my legal and civic experiences well qualifies me to represent Rockyford taxpayers in the many struggles and concerns we share. As a re-tiree myself, I can offer more time and effort to my post than most of my council peers. My past record as a councilor will speak for itself. Choose growth and development. VOTE JULIE FOR COUNCIL!

Julie Gaudet

Keeping our school here I think should be the main objective of council. Not only is it best, by far, for all the children living here, it also completes our community as a place where young couples would want to live and raise a family. For people that don’t have children, they should know that losing the school could very well bring down the value of our homes and properties in the area.

Also trying to get new businesses to move

to Rockyford is something I’m persuing. This would be very good for our economy and would definitely help keep our taxes down and give us capital to work with to make improvements.

I’m sure that new people running for office are going to mention a lot of changes for the village that the current council would have loved to have accomplished over the years, but without raising the taxes considerably it just wasn’t possible. Improving our streets was always a major objective and we’ve done what we could afford and still maintain them as best we can. New paved streets would be wonderful but would cost millions of dollars that our small village just doesn’t have. I love Rockyford and enjoy working to keep it the wonderful place it is.

GeraldKatterhagen

My priorities as a town councillor will be:Financial Responsibility• Lower property taxes in Rockyford by

generating interest in the town. Bring busi-nesses and residents to the area. Promote Rockyford to fellow Albertans. Begin a dia-logue with Calgarians, realtors and builders to promote Rockyford.

Infrastructure and Roads• Pave residential streets

• Upgrade sewer systems and the lagoon to accommodate the growth of Rockyford

Planning and Development• Ensure that The Rockyford School re-

mains open for our families and children• Let’s revive interest in planning and

building a sub-division to attract commuters from Calgary. Most communities close to Calgary are far too expensive and Rockyford has so much to offer. Our Village is only 40 minutes from the Calgary city limits and that could be very attractive to so many people who are ready for a lifestyle change.

Health and Lifestyle•Promote The Rockyford Rodeo and other

Rockyford events; Let’s generate interest in our community.

DixieO’Keefe

I’m Pam Seeley and I am running for counselor for the Village of Rockyford. I am running for council because I am a commu-nity oriented person and would like to make more of a contribution. I would like to see Rockyford continue with its initiative to re-main a viable force within the province with its forward thinking ways. With Rockyford being on the fringe of a bedroom community we can benefit from our location. Rockyford has large potential for growth in both the residential and business areas and I feel that needs to be promoted. I would also like to

see Rockyford make long term solutions to infrastructure issues within the community. That being said, I also realize the limitations small towns face in this area. Youth are the cornerstone to any community and need to be nurtured and attracted to our village. Finding new ways to do this is always dif-ficult but I would like to see what our youth are looking for and maybe provide some of the things needed to keep them in the com-munity. Being new to the political arena I also plan on spending a fair amount of time learning and observing the issues at hand. I believe within the year I will be able to ad-dress the issues from a positive and fresh perspective and by adding new ideas to the group of councilors. I hope to keep Rocky-ford moving forward to sustain and improve on the great community it already is. Thank-you to all the people, for making Rockyford a great place to live and raise our children.

DIVISION 1

My objective for the 2010 election is to serve the rate payers of Wheatland County. I will continue to tackle and make difficult di-cissions that comes forward. I have always been willing to listen to the concerns, issues and problems of the people who live in my area. I also tried, to the best of my ability, to resolve any issue. I wish to be open, trans-parent, available and accountable to the rate payers of Wheatland County. I have an open door policy for all rate payers to either come to my home or give me a phone call about their concerns. I will continue to work with our present and future business partners, along with all the rancher and farmers liv-ing within our County boundaries. All off the businesses are needed to make our County grow and they all need good routes on which to deliver their product. Therefore, I will con-tinue to fight for new infrastructure to be built

and paved, to move all the goods to various markets.

At present I sit on the Canadian Badlands Tourism Board as Treasurer. I am working with many others in our jurisdic-tion to develop Tourism in the Wheatland County, and developing an inventory of the attractions that we have. I am interested in preserving our heritage and saving our his-torical sites, artefacts, and old documents that pertain to the history of our towns. I’m presently on the parks committee and if I am re-elected I would like to work with the com-munity groups, towards improving the camp grounds and play grounds in the Wheatland County. In the past three years, I have had the privilege of sitting on the Community Fu-tures Wild Rose Board, and helping it met all of its present obligations. I am also the Vice President of the Handi-Bus Association, and I sit on two fire department boards and one seed cleaning plant board.

Since I have been a councillor I have been taking elected official courses, I have

six courses completed and one more core course to finish, and receive my Govern-ment Certificate of Achievement. (All of the courses have been paid for by me,) I believe in keeping abreast of all up-to-date

Alice Booth

My wife and I have lived in this County now for more than five years and have en-joyed every minute of it, I wish I made the move years ago.

My parents families farm or have farmed in Vulcan County for going on four genera-tions and I loved being part of that when I was a kid.

I used to go with my Dad during harvest and rode the combine and the grain truck or had to climb in the bins to shovel grain. The sense of community back then was preva-lent even at that young age.

I grew up in Calgary and spent the better part of my life there but in the past few years the sense of community has diminished.

The rural lifestyle the family values and the friends we’ve made here are priceless.

I want to contribute to this community and the best way I feel I can do that is by running for Council.

I want to get to know more people and be their voice when ideas or issues move them.

I want to understand the issues that affect my neighbours and to ensure that the life-style and values are protected.

Every time you turn around there’s chang-es that affect the way of life whether it’s the rail lines closing, the price of grain/livestock, the cost of living, school closures, road changes/diversion, I could go on.

Towns, villages, hamlets and the family farm need more support than ever.

I want to be part of all this, I want to be the voice for the constituents, to understand the issues and also present ideas that may help bring positive change.

Please join me for a meet & greet on Oc-tober 4th at the UFA Wheatland Co-op from 9am till 11am for coffee, pastries and con-versation.

County Council requires a councillor who is energetic, enjoys meeting people, listens to the constituents and believes in a com-mon sense approach. I offer all of these. I believe that service to ones community hap-pens in various ways. This would be my op-portunity. I have a strong desire to learn the issues and keep an open mind. It is impor-tant to make thoughtful and informed deci-sions and do it all with honesty and integrity. I have a warm and approachable manner,

am well organized and have experience as an articulate speaker. Sitting on council also requires courage, and most of all, resilience. Having farmed in the area for twenty five years, raised two grown sons, I am aware of several issues that are of importance to our ratepayers. Proper roads, which are not subject to road bans and the County issue of the proposed realignment of the Trans Can-ada Highway, are examples of ratepayers concerns. New challenges and a learning curve are to be expected. It is vital to bring a connection between the seven divisions, the communities within Wheatland County and the Council itself. I will do my best to be your representative. I believe that I possess all the tools necessary to be your choice in Division One and be part of a strong and dy-namic Council. It is time for a new voice…your voice.

Wheatland County

DIVISION 2

My main objective is to be a fresh, new voice for the families in Division 2 of Wheat-land County, with consideration for the fu-

ture growth of the County. I believe we need to take into consideration all the communi-ties within the county and the direction in which they are going. All future Wheatland County Council decisions should be made with this issue of growth at the forefront. We need to make sure that our communities are supported to ensure families are confident that this is the best possible place to live and thrive.

JessicaBissonnette

I believe that I have the necessary skills and commitment to be an effective Coun-cillor. Having taught Jr High School for 18 years, I am a life-long learner with excellent communication, observation and creative problem solving skills. I commuted to Cal-gary from Gleichen for 15 of those years, and owned and ran a business in Gleichen for 8 years, so I know how important local em-ployment is to the quality of life in our coun-ty, and I understand the challenges that face our small business owners. I raised a son who graduated in our community, so I appre-ciate the importance of local schools. I am concerned about the impact of unregulated growth, but I am not a fan of over-regulation. I believe it is government’s responsibility to be fiscally and environmentally accountable.

According to the Municipal Government Act, the primary duty of an elected council-lor is“to consider the welfare and interests of the municipality as a whole and to bring to council’s attention anything that would pro-mote the welfare or interests of the munici-pality”. I believe that Division 2’s residents need increased opportunity to express their concerns and opinions, as well as an arena in which to share their ideas, knowledge and expertise. During this campaign, the media is providing specific topics for candidates to address. It is naive for a candidate who is not currently a councillor to believe that s/he is well informed enough to make declara-tive statements about any particular issue. However, I will, of course, use all sources of available information as well as my own observations to address these topics. Resi-dents of Wheatland County can help me this by visiting www.jackikirk.ca. By clicking on contact me, you can send me a private/per-sonal email, or you can submit a public com-ment after any posting found there.

DIVISION 5

1. I believe there is a need to enable our communities to have more of a voice in re-solving what should be done on local issues. Example, in recent school debates, there were some very good ideas presented from the communities. It was easy to see that they were ready to take on some of the respon-sibilities in achieving a win/win solution. My objective would be to aid that type of think-ing in generating those ideas from commu-nities. I think that getting buy-in is all about taking on ownership, and will result in a more firm commitment to achieving a successful outcome by all parties involved.

2. I intend to listen to all constituents who want to put forward their concerns and opin-

ions. I believe there are no bad ideas just better ones, and that my objective is to fil-ter and find the common perspective with-out bias that best represents the majority of concern and opinion for the area I represent.

3. Divisions/Wards 3, 4 & 5 are the bor-der areas to M.D. of Rockyview and the in-ternational city of Calgary. These divisions will continue being the first areas to feel the growth from Calgary. My objective is to achieve a clear understanding of what Di-vision 5 wants on long term development planning, and that these plans be agreed upon well before approving those develop-ment permits.

4. We have to address and find a better solution for road maintenance. My commit-ment would be to increase frequency analy-sis of traffic patterns that target volume and load size throughout the year. Areas identi-fied as high traffic and load use should re-ceive more resource attention for repair and possible dust control.

DennisBigras

I am married, 39 yrs old with three chil-dren. My wife and I are small business own-ers. I grew up in the Nightingale area but, like most moved away to pursue a career, we choose to move back three years ago to raise our family.

I want to be division 5 councillor because

I feel I have the knowledge and experience by working for over fifteen years in municipal government as an operator and manager. I am familiar with budgeting, cost control, in-frastructure, planning, and development. In these hard times I would expect Wheatland County to balance service and costs and in doing so reduce property taxes for the rate-payers.

I feel with my experience and a common sense approach this would make me a good choice for district 5 councillor in Wheatland County. If you have any questions or con-cerns I can be reached at 403-901-6541, please exercise your right to vote.

Scott Klassen

After serious thought, research and con-sultation, I made the decision and com-mitment to enter civic politics. I’m looking forward to the challenge of conducting the business of Wheatland County on behalf of Division 5 and all County residents and land-owners.

I don’t have a personal agenda and be-

lieve in community service, so it seems like a natural progression. Some of my past and present community contributions include the Classroom Agricultural Program 4-H Leader, Calgary Stampede Ag Education Commit-tee, Strathmore & District Agricultural Soci-ety and the Royal Canadian Legion #10.

Over the next few weeks, I will be knock-ing on your door. I’m looking forward to dis-cussing any issues and concerns you may have. If elected, and although I am only one of seven on council, I’m confident I will be your voice.

Brenda Knight

For the past two terms I have sat on coun-cil as the Mayor. We have seen slow prog-ress on our new development but progress just the same. In hopes of getting some of our other projects rolling we have a hope-ful new source of funding this will allow us to see through some of our plans to make the improvements on the cemetery, camp-ground, ball diamonds and many other up-dates.

My objectives on council will be to con-tinue with ongoing projects as well as start

some new ones. We have had many sug-gestions from community members on what they would like to see happening and we hope to be able to follow through with some of these suggestions. Economic growth is always important in small communities and I am committed to making sure Hussar re-mains a viable community.

I was raised in Hussar for most of my life and only left for short periods of time to go to school. I live in Hussar with my spouse and two children. We chose to raise our kids here as this is where we were raised and enjoy the strong sense of community. I have been part of the E.F.R.T. (Emergency First Response Team). As well I am a volunteer Fire Fighter on the Hussar Fire Department.

I believe it is important that the voices of all are heard. The Village is a high priority for me and I will continue to put its interests first.

My name is Bruce Kaufman and I am just finishing my first term on council in the Vil-lage of Hussar.

It has been a great educational and learn-ing experience.

I have enjoyed my experience and hope that I will be able to continue to serve the residents of the Village of Hussar.

My main objectives would be to continue the work that I have been doing during my first term in office.

If I am successful in being re-elected, I will strive to continue to find solutions that will

keep the Village of Hussar a going concern and a quality place to live and raise your chil-dren.

This is a huge task when you consider the economic conditions today and the school closures that all small towns and villages face.

We must make changes as needed in or-der to be successful and to be around well into the future.

I feel, that we, on council have to listen with great interest to all concerns that our residents have.

As a semi-retired person, I have the time to commit to the tasks at hand and put forth the extra effort that is needed to do the job to the best of my ability.

I will do my best to keep the Village of Hussar a safe and friendly place to live.

Thank you for your support and I hope that I will be considered on Election Day.

Thank you very much.

School Board

WARD 3

My name is Janet Bolinger and I am run-ning for the position of school trustee for the town of Strathmore. Many of you know me as the director of the Gleichen & District Community Choir, a position I have enjoyed for 30 years.

I have always been passionate about edu-cation. Before beginning our family, I taught at Gleichen. In 1980, I became a school trustee for this system, serving 14 years over a period of 23 years.

As a trustee, you are representative of all students in the school system. An open door to listen to concerns and transparency of the school system are essential. Integrity and honesty from all educational stakehold-ers are also vital or what values are given to the students, our future, who are molded in these formative years. The best school sys-tem has parents, teachers, educational lead-ers and trustees working together to do what is best for children.

With the many issues that have arisen within the Golden Hills School Division, I re-alize an experienced voice is necessary if we are to continue a valued education system.

I welcome hearing your concerns or com-ments and can be reached at 403 934-3636. Please exercise your right to vote on Octo-ber 18.

LarryTucker


School Board

WARD 3

Should I be re-elected, one of my main objectives will be to continue working for an ‘equitable’ education for all students in the Golden Hills School Division.

I am strongly committed to providing edu-cational opportunities for children. This is why I have run for School Trustee and also seek re-election for 2010.

I am convinced that the work I do as a school trustee is very important as School Boards exist for children. In addressing matters related to their mandate, School Trustees must at all times be the children’s

advocate. First and foremost, educational policies must be judged on what is best for the development of the whole child; both educationally and physically. I strongly be-lieve Trusteeship means being partners with parents in ensuring that children, our great-est natural resource, are provided with the highest quality education to enable them to become not only well-rounded citizens but to help our children decide what road their life should take.

School Trustees do not represent any one school, neighbourhood, or community. Rather, when elected, School Trustees make decisions based on the needs of the entire school division. My role as a School Trustee is to ensure the Golden Hills School Divi-sion provides an education that equips our children to succeed as tomorrow’s citizens in whatever career choice the children make.

JoyceBazant

WARD 5

My family moved to Hussar in 1976 when I was in grade two. I still live in Hussar with my wife, Michelle and our two children Mi-kayla and Keenan. I have volunteered as a coach for both Junior and Senior High vol-leyball teams. For the past 15 years I have been a member of the Hussar Volunteer Fire Department and am currently the Fire Chief. A position I have held for the past two years.

I served as a Trustee for one term with the

Golden Hills School Division. I am familiar with board policy and procedure. Recently, I was invited by the Alberta School Boards Association to participate in a summit on Public Involvement in Public Education.

This greatly interests me because approxi-mately two thirds of the adult population do not have children in the school system. I feel school boards need to do a better job en-gaging the public. Boards need to involve citizens in program development, use mutu-ally agreeable two way communication, and share decision making and responsibility for decisions.

We need to clearly communicate with the public – the owners of the system –the suc-cess stories of our schools, what changes must be made and what these changes will mean for students and parents.

CoreyFisher

I’m running for re-election as trustee in the newly created Ward 5 in GHSD. My wife Carol and I have resided in the Standard area since 2001, on a farm we have owned since 1991. Before this we lived at the Calgary Stampede Ranch where I was manager for 29 years.

While living at the CS Ranch I served on the Berry Creek School Board for 13 years, nine of those as board chair. During that time our children attended a rural school that had three rooms with nine grades, so I’m familiar

with the challenges of rural education.My work with young people has included

coaching minor hockey from 1974-2000 and supporting the High School Rodeo program. I am presently a director of the Strathmore Agricultural Society and a member of the Heritage Rodeo Committee.

The area I seek to represent is large – all of Wheatland County south of Township Road 270 excluding the town of Strathmore. Rural education is about students, teachers, pro-grams and communities that care. I believe it is important for students that communities having a school presence maintain one, es-pecially for the younger children in K-6.

It’s important that all students receive the best education opportunities possible regardless of where they reside or which schools they attend and will work to that end.

RobertMcKay

My husband Clay, children, Layne-7, Corbin-4 and Alanna-1 and I live in my hometown of Rockyford close to our family farm. Over the past several years I have been very involved in learning about education in Alberta. Throughout this process I have learned that there are several things that can be changed within the GHSD to improve the education that our children are receiving.

The Board of Trustees need to increase communication with stakeholders. We need to ‘put the public back into public educa-tion’. This includes being open with current and future plans and creating achievable short and long term goals and communicat-ing these effectively to the public. Parents, staff and community members need to be comfortable in communicating their ideas

and concerns to the board of trustees and administration and know that they are being heard and listened to.

Board discussions and decisions need to be made in public and completely transpar-ent. This means no more in camera meetings before the public board meeting. All votes should be publicly recorded.

I would like to see more parent involve-ment in our schools. School Councils should include both parents and community mem-bers and I would like them to see them more actively involved in school and division de-cisions such as budgeting and school and division education plans.

Currently GHSD funds schools based solely on student number. I would like to see funding changed to program based funding so that every child within the division has an equal opportunity to learn in a safe and caring environment. This would ensure that schools are properly staffed and that the all teachers have access to the same resourc-es. Proper staffing of every school needs to be made a priority and program based fund-ing would achieve this.

Times TIDBITS

ELECTION FACTS The word Ballot is derived from the word “balls”. The Greeks dropped a white ball when they favored

a candidate, and a black when they were against. The term “blackballed” comes from this too.



It’s that time of year again: Thanksgiv-ing around the corner, Christmas steadi-ly on its way and the food bank need-ing donations for their hampers. Last year three different businesses joined heads and came up with the ‘Fill That Bus’ idea. For one day a full sized yellow school bus is on loan in order for it to be filled to capacity with food and other items for those less fortunate.

“Most of us like to give. There’s people that you know maybe can’t give money but they’ll take their last tin of soup and put that in there and every tin of soup helps,” said Laurie Shannon from Boston Pizza. Shannon and her general manager Gurpreet Uppal are heading things off on the Boston Pizza side of things, with Bill Crawford for Chinook Credit Union, and Susan Fowler from First Student Canada. First Student Canada is donat-ing the bus for the day. When asked why they started the event, Crawford said it was the right thing to do.

“There’s got to be something more to a business that you’re running, whether

you’re selling pizza or giving out money. There has to be more to that than just that. There needs to be some corporate responsibility in the community for the people that we serve, and not just with the business that you do, but to really impact their lives, and this is one way to do it,” said Crawford.

Last year the event brought in 2146lbs of food, equaling $5,365, and filling the bus. This year the team hopes to double that.

“The challenge is out there for the companies to really encourage their staff and let their staff run down for a few minutes during that day,” said Shan-non.

“This year we’ll send a couple of driv-ers too. They love to be part of their community,” said Fowler. The Wheat-land County Food Bank doesn’t just help Strathmore residents, they help all over the county. They help the crisis society and at times even the schools.

“Anybody in town that needs it, wheth-er it’s school or the crisis centre. We will help anybody….it’s not just people that fill out an application,” said Marleen Hockin from the food bank.

One can at a time

COUNCILLOR Brad Walls“Historically, there have been younger mayors,

prime ministers and army generals appointed who were younger than my 30 years of age. They all had one common factor, however, and that was

to possess the wisdom to trust and work with the team assembled around them. That will be my

goal in this term of office - to work with people and accomplish the goals set before us”.

“One of the people, for the people, here for you today and working for your tomorrow.”

The Town of Strathmore held a spe-cial public hearing on September 21 to discuss bylaws in regards to the Wild-flower Ranch. Cancorp Property Group and their consultants came forward with a request. The first reading of the bylaw was on Sept. 1.

Administration recommended a cou-ple of changes to the plan such as delet-ing a road and a row of housing. The recommended deleted part was a strip that was adjacent to the southerly por-tion of Hill Crest Manor Estates.

The other recommendation was that the developer builds a pedestrian bridge, which would link up Hill Crest and Wildflower at the developer’s sole cost. It would be a part of the regional pathway system. The other change was just that they provide some additional buffering and landscape to the plan so that the people have a nicer view than another row of houses.

“I believe with all of the changes we have made we’ve been able to address all of the public concerns that came for-ward,” said Linda Nelson Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for the Town.

There were a few concerns regarding

one of the roads and she said they still have to look at it, but she thinks once the new road is built it will not be a con-cern.

The redesignation was the second by-law discussed which included the R1N, the narrow lot and the R1, which is sin-gle family detached residential and some park space. There will be a nice range of 40, 42, 44 and 46-foot lots. In the bylaw they have insured that the min stays at 1.5 so people will always have a three-metre separation between buildings.

The same distance will still separate each building, no matter what size they are.

Send your pet pictures to Tracey at [email protected]. Your pet could be the “Pet of the Week!”

Absolutely! The myth is a dog needs to keep his coat in the winter to stay warm. However, for dogs that are inside that is comparable to us wearing

our winter coats inside when it is cold. It is important to keep up with your pet’s grooming all year long and you can request your pet be groomed for

the season. Winter and fall cuts are typically longer in length. Another important thing to remember is an overgrown matted coat picks

up snow and ice, when it melts the dog gets soaked and stays wet. A wet dog is a colder dog. A wet matted coat mats tighter. If the dog does not

resume regular grooming until the spring, there’s usually no option for anything but a shave. It is kind of like imagining your own hair

uncombed for 4-6 months and then trying to save it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the EditorI would like to add my perspective to the current

municipal election campaigns.I have served on Town Council for 15 years (retiring

from politics in 2007) and I hope that my observa-tions can provide some guidance, both for candidates as well as for voting residents.

One of the issues getting a lot of attention is that of the “per diem” claims made by Mayor and Council. When I served on Council, the “per diem” payment policy was designed for those cases where members of Council had to take time off from regular day jobs to attend to Town Council business. I’m not familiar with changes that have been made to the policy in the past three years. One item that apparently became a more significant issue in the last three years was a dis-tinct difference in meeting attendance at Town Coun-cil meetings (regular and special meetings), meetings of the various Boards and Committees where Coun-cil is represented, workshops and many other Town functions. It might well be that this past Coun-cil revamped the policy, rightly or wrongly, to allow claims per special committee meeting or convention attended, in order to ensure that those members of Council doing the lion’s share of the work get more compensation than those who only attend the bare minimum.

If your nomination in this election is an indication of you wanting to put your passion and vision for this Town to work, and you have specific ideas to offer, you have my attention.

The Town has recently seen a large amount of land added to its jurisdiction through annexation from Wheatland County. I have seen very little in the vari-ous campaigns to date as to what vision the candidates

have for those additional lands; what is their position on the general trend to increase development densi-ties to combat urban sprawl (more high-rise?); how do they intend to regulate financing of major development costs (transportation, water, sewer and storm water servicing), and what are their view points on off-site levies (infrastructure fees that developers pay to the Town per acre of developed land). With the amount of new, un-serviced land and the expected new proposals that will be submitted to the Town in the upcoming years, we need to know how the candidates want to see this managed if they were elected to Council. Do they promote changing from Town status to City status, and if so, at what population levels? Why?

Another hot topic is the proposed realignment of the Trans Canada Highway. Those candidates stating that “they will oppose the realignment” will probably come to the realization that at the end of the day, if the federal and provincial governments decide to realign the highway, the best that Council can accomplish is work with those other orders of government to get the best alternative for the region. Keep in mind that the asphalt in the current highway won’t be rolled up and put away.

In summary, I expect more than blurry statements from the candidates. I would like to find out about your specific vision for this Town. If you’re new to municipal politics and your only motivation is one-di-mensional, or if you don’t have a clear understanding of Council’s role in the governance of the Town, think again. Keep in mind when making election promises and statements, if elected, you will be one voice on a seven person Council. Thanks.

To the EditorThe Change for Strathmore group held another suc-

cessful meeting this past week. Some of the highlights include a commitment to:

- bring our message directly to residents before the election

- highlight a list of improvements we hope to see the next council accomplish

- inform the public of those candidates who share our values

- inform the public, with examples provided by Town administration, why we are so concerned about per diem expenses

- group members expressed their desire to send our concerns and findings to Alberta Municipal Affairs

which we have committed to do so.If any member of the public wishes to review the

detailed findings based on information we have com-plied from the towns own records, please email us at [email protected].

The Change for Strathmore group is hopeful voter turnout will be even better this election and hopes ev-eryone in the community takes the time to research the issues and ask the candidates difficult questions. Finally, the group has articulated a desire to keep this group going regardless of the election results to serve as a citizen focal point in the community.

To the EditorRecent changes to aesthetics and land use bylaws

could see our hamlets become junkyards. On July 6, Wheatland County councilors voted in favour to al-low three derelict vehicles per property for hamlets within the county and sent a letter to ratepayers stat-ing as such. In other words they (Wheatland council-ors) have given landowners permission to store three ``junkers`` per property. The Municipal Government Act clearly states “unsightly to such extent as to det-rimentally affect the response, amenities, use, VALUE, or enjoyment of the surrounding lands.”

After speaking with a councilor it is understood that this was to be a first step towards cleaning up our hamlets but why three and not one. I would sug-gest that the county should have stated three vehicles per property providing these vehicles were not vis-ible. The bylaw could have stated these vehicles be

in a building, or surrounded by a fence or at least be placed under a cover of some sort. Also having this amount of vehicles potentially creates fire and envi-ronmental hazards as most leak contaminants. As for the land use changes regarding storage containers in commercial areas, an exemption should have been put in place that would allow containers on commer-cial properties EXEMPTING our main streets within the hamlets thereby following aesthetic bylaws and allowing stores to be developed. Residents within these hamlets have spent a lot of money and time try-ing to make their communities a better place to live, unfortunately these changes are detrimental to all of that which we have accomplished and only serve to devalue and deface our communities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the EditorThere appears to be confusion by several Strath-

more residents with regard to the proposed realign-ment of Highway #1 through Strathmore. I would like make it very clear that my intent is not to criticize anyone, but to inform the people of Strathmore that the present Town Council is not oblivious to what Al-berta Transportation is planning for the “FUTURE” of the Highway in the Strathmore area. At some point and time, Highway #1 will be designated as a Free-way.

Everyone has had opportunity to view Alberta Transportation’s plans, detailing their proposed route, at the open house. It’s no secret that their pro-posed route was unanimously opposed by everyone affected, including the Councils of Strathmore and Wheatland County. Consequently, Transportation Minister Luke Ouollette, and MLA Arno Doerksen be-came involved, which resulted in a joint meeting with Strathmore Town Council and Wheatland County Council. It was agreed that Highway #1 could remain within its present corridor from Calgary to Gleichen, provided that a suitable alternative for realignment could be presented. Freeway status would require realignment through Strathmore. In the spirit of co-operation, and concern for the devastating impact that Strathmore and our business community would suffer, Transportation requested input from us as to how this could be accomplished; while still leaving the present corridor intact, thus minimizing the ef-fect on the businesses adjacent to the Highway. The Town

and the Province are actively pursuing all possibili-

ties to that end.Status quo is still our top priority, however, we

need to be realistic and must also consider the im-pact that a Freeway would have on Strathmore. If the Highway is designated as a Freeway, traffic will be flowing through Town at a 110 km/hr, with no traf-fic lights and no exits.Keeping the present alignment through Strathmore would have a devastating effect, not only to the businesses adjacent to the Highway, but to the entire Town.

In conclusion, I respectfully request that not only the Businesses and the Chamber of Commerce, but also the Change for Strathmore group unite with the Town in an effort to come up with a solution to the realignment. Failing that, Alberta Transportation is prepared to revert back to their original proposal, which will totally isolate the Town of Strathmore.

I thank Mr. Hal Lust for his tireless efforts in bring-ing this matter to the attention of Council and the public. Let’s focus our energy on establishing a route that is acceptable to the majority of the busi-nesses in Strathmore and to Alberta Transportation. This will enable us to continue planning for future development along the Highway, and allow us to deal with other important issues at hand.

I have an alternative proposal that will be available for everyone’s perusal and input at the public forum.

Do the other candidates have an alternate propos-al? If they do, let’s compare proposals and come up with the best solution possible for Strathmore.

To the EditorI am a candidate for Ward 5 Golden Hills School

Board Trustee and I would like to bring the following to your attention.

The number of wards in the GHSD was reduced last February and East and West Wheatland were combined. When speaking with people in the area many do not realize that there have been changes made to ward boundaries. Many people are under the impression that if their children are attending a Strathmore school that they would vote for a Strath-more trustee but that is not the case. The wards are

created based on population not on school boundar-ies. Ward 5 includes the communities of Spear Grass, Carseland, Cheadle, Lyalta, Nightingale, Rockyford, Standard, Hussar, Cluny, Gleichen and residents of the County of Wheatland. It does not include Rose-bud or residents that reside in Township 27 or 28, this area is included in Ward 2. By acclamation Da-vid Price is the new trustee for this ward. On GHSD website they list all the legal land descriptions for each ward.

Sincerely,Shelly Neal

New boundaries in effect

The Bantam Spartans football team wasn’t the only one to see victory dur-ing this weekends home game. The PeeWee Spartans took to the field be-fore the Bantam team on the 25, play-ing against the Sylvan Lake Bears. This is only the second year Strathmore has had a PeeWee team and the boys showed what they were made of, win-ning the game 22-6.

“The game went great. The kids are starting to play up to their potential, they’re starting to believe in what

we’re telling them and they’re getting confidence in themselves,” said coach Doug Klauck.

Strathmore doesn’t have an Atom team and so PeeWee is the first step for anyone who wants to play the game. Klauck said half of the team has returned after playing last season.

They are three games into their sea-son and there are three games left to play. Last year the team sat at one win and six losses, and so far this year they are sitting at two wins and one loss. The next home game won’t be taking place until after the Thanksgiv-ing long weekend.

The Bantam Spartans had a chance to make up for their devastating loss in Drumheller two weeks ago. Hard work-mixed in with a good week of practice contributes to the team’s 38-13 win on Sept. 25.

“It was really nice to see the things we worked on be implemented on the field. From the first possession you could see the boys really came to play,” said coach Rob Mussleman.

Kenny Lemay got in a couple of good runs and three catches.

Ryan Deines completed 60 per cent of his passes, tossing one touchdown to Shadin Timmons, and he also ran one in himself. Brandon Labonte also scored a

pair of touchdowns while playing de-fense. Johnny Millette added a touch down to bring the team up to their 38 points. Nick Ellis and Kyle Neufield held up their defensive line by spending most of the day backfield, stacking up multiple sacks.

“It was really nice to see the offense clicking and spreading the ball around. We had contributions across the board with four different players getting touch-downs and a wealth of yards on the ground. The defense stepped it up under the leadership of Kyle Neufeld and put in a solid effort,” said Musselman. While the victory was even sweeter after last week’s loss, Musselman said the boys still had to hit the field on Monday and practice just as hard as they had the week before.

“The win can be attributed in large part

to the linemen who came to play today. We have a small team, numbers wise, and in reality we have approximately six line-men, so they all end up playing the en-tire game. It was really nice to see them work hard the entire day and control the line of scrimmage from start to finish,” said Musselman.

The biggest concern of the day was a lack of discipline for the Spartans. They were given ten penalties out of the 12 called during the game, many of them for unnecessary roughness.

“It’s unfortunately what happens when everyone gets jacked up for a game and they really want to hit, they have to learn to pull up though. There are some things we can do this week to correct that.”

Musselman said this is one of the most unique teams he has coached in the

sense that they have been all over the map in their game play.

“We went from week one where we had a 53-6 loss to week two when we played an exceptional game and should have won but lost 16-14 to week three when we lost 77-0 to Drum and then week 4 we get the win we were looking for,” said Musselman.

“There are some exceptional players on this football team playing to their ca-pabilities and there are some other kids who might not have the athletic abili-ties of some others but who are playing way above their heads.” Despite having a team that is off the board sometimes, Musselman said it was nice to see things work out this last game, and the team is looking forward to its upcoming game in Wetaskiwin.

SHANNON LECLAIR Times Reporter

The Reds AAA played three exhibi-tion games this past weekend at the Kinsmen ball diamond. The first two games were against St. FX and for the last game they went up against Medi-cine Hat. They won all three games, winning the first two 12-2 and 20-3, and ending with an 8-7 victory over Medicine Hat.

“The weekend before that we just practiced on the weekend which really helped,” said coach Darwin Armitage.

“We were scheduled to go to Ed-monton but that didn’t work out so we just took the opportunity to practice at home.”

There is no league for fall ball and so the last few weeks have been ex-hibition games, with the final round of games taking place this upcoming weekend in Medicine Hat.

“All in all it was pretty decent fall ball for us, and it gave a lot of the younger guys a chance to see what its like playing at a little bit of a higher level,” said Armitage.

The AAA team took on a few play-ers from the Bantam Reds AA team, including Logan Crooks, who was picked for the Summer Games which took place a few months ago.

The team will have a few months off before beginning practice again in January when they begin indoor prac-tice.

“Most of the players will be going to

the winter camp that Strathmore minor ball runs and that Zane (Anderson) teaches. That starts in January, as well,” said Armitage.

Armitage thinks it will be a really good group of returnees, but is not sure how many will be back yet, since some of them will be heading off to college. Next year the boys should be playing in the Baseball Alberta League.

The Healthy Eating Ac-tive Living Coalition wants to encourage the people of our community to get active by walking, which is effective and free. There are several initia-tives we want to promote: October is international Walk to School Month so we are urging parents and

children to chose to walk to school. IWALK Week is Oct. 4-8 and IWALK Day is Wednesday, Oct. 6. Make every effort to walk to school for your health.

A second initiative is for anyone in the Strath-more area to compete for a prize by recording steps and distance on WALK-ER TRACKER. You could win a Grey Cup Party Pak (sandwich & fruit

& veggie tray) by being the person in the Strath-more Area to log the most steps. The goal is to walk 338 km (about 422,500 steps), the distance from Strathmore to the Grey Cup game in Edmonton, between Sept. 30 and Nov. 19. Log on the www.walkertracker.com to register and record your steps. Follow the link to Strathmore challenge.

KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., CrowfootParliamentary Report

As students return to school and farmers continue work-ing through a difficult harvest, Parliament is reconvening in Ottawa. I appreciate your making your positions on numer-ous federal government issues clear to me over the summer months at the many events I attended. As your Member of Parliament, I have always relied on the political input I receive from our Crowfoot riding. This extends to the work I do for you when I am at my desk in the House of Commons. My staff keeps me informed of what my constituents are saying on a daily basis, issue by issue, as our Conservative government pursues our legislative agenda throughout the Parliamentary Session.

Jobs for Canadians, the Canadian economy and crime legis-lation will be the focus of our Conservative government this Autumn. We will be working to sustain the economic recovery in Canada. Our government’s two-year global-recession fight-ing Economic Action Plan is entering its final six months. We are presiding over its completion. These ‘economic stimulus’ projects got off the ground very quickly and the good news is that the vast majority of them will be completed, including in our own riding.

In large part, these projects were a partnership between the federal, provincial and local governments. I want to again commend our municipal politicians for their hard work pre-paring projects that could be implemented to help save and create jobs in our local communities as we battled the effects of the global economic recession at home. I can report that all levels of government worked successfully together on our local front and our accomplishments will serve us for many years to come.

Our Conservative government has already doubled the gas

tax revenues returned to the communities where they were raised and we made this annual spending in communities permanent. Our Building Canada Plan continues to roll out across the country. After forming the government in 2006 we implemented our program called “Advantage Canada”, which allowed us to pay down around $40 billion on Canada’s ac-cumulated national debt. Advantage Canada is an economic plan designed to: reduce taxes; eliminate Canada’s total gov-ernment net debt in less than a generation; reduce ‘red tape’ obstacles for businesses and increase competition; create the best-educated, most-skilled and most flexible workforce in the world; and continue to provide the modern infrastructure we need. Our government continues to operate with the goals outlined in the Advantage Canada plan (see www.fin.gc.ca).

Our continued emphasis on criminal justice will include, among other things, measures to ensure Canada’s generous refugee system is protected and available to bona-fide people in need who make it onto Canadian soil. We will be standing up to human smuggling operations targeting our country.

Finally, I am writing this column before the vote on vote on Bill C-391 that would dismantle the failed and costly long gun registry. You can be sure that I will once again be cast-ing our vote in favour of the Bill. If the Bill is defeated, our Conservative Party will continue to push for the registry to be scrapped. The registry was the Liberals failed attempt to reduce the criminal use of firearms. It targets law-abiding re-sponsible firearms owners and users, mostly in remote and rural Canada, and taxes these Canadians with a paper-work nightmare. We believe that Canadians want laws that target criminals and criminal activity.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write me at 4945-50th Street, Cam-rose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail [email protected].

Parliament reconvenes in Ottawa

KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., CrowfootParliamentary Report

Kevin Sorenson, MP says he shares the disappointment of his constituents that the coalition majority of Opposition votes in the House of Commons has supported keeping the long-gun registry. Sorenson says, “Of all the accomplishments our Conservative government has delivered since 2006, the scrapping of the long-gun registry is one that we have yet to achieve. I am proud that my Conservative colleagues stand in solidarity immediately pledging to continue our efforts to scrap the failed and costly registry after we all voted to scrap it and lost.”

Twenty Coalition MPs originally supported the simple and straightforward bill to scrap the long-gun registry, but under pressure from their Ottawa bosses they turned their backs on their constituents and voted to keep the registry. The Conser-

vative Party does not believe in treating law-abiding hunters, farmers, and sports shooters as criminals.

Sorenson says, “This is the furthest we have come to dis-mantling the $2 billion wasteful and ineffective long-gun reg-istry. We are as close to forming a majority government as we have ever been and scrapping the registry remains one of the goals that a majority of votes in Parliament will deliver.”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said, “The people of the re-gions of this country are never going to accept being treated like criminals, and we will continue our efforts until this regis-try is finally abolished. After 15 years, opposition to the long-gun registry is stronger in this country than it has ever been.”

Sorenson concludes, “The original purpose of the registry was to reduce crime - it has failed. Canadian taxpayers want the money spent to maintain it spent on measures that target criminals instead of criminalizing farmers, duck hunters and rural Canadians.”

Conservative Party Maintains Pledge to Scrap Long-gun Registry

Anyone who frequented the Farmers Market this past summer has probably seen Naomi Hirose, but they may know her as the cupcake girl. Hirose only began baking last year after she started work at a day care and started making cakes for birthdays. She was convinced to start selling her cakes, and so it began. Hirose makes a variety of cupcakes, such as Chai latte that can’t be found anywhere else. If she is at the market again next year peo-ple should stop down and try some of her delicious cupcakes.
