Wheatland Whirlers The Chamber of Commerce has part-

host dance night 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
Page 5 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
Gleichen upgrades to be submitted in writing. They request
local park 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
Page 21 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
Bisons host open house Oct. 5 and again on Oct.
annual preseason 7 (4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.) at the Day’s Inn

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.

Remembering a piece of history
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
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,

Jack de Keyzer rocked Stix
on the 24, when he put on a

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.

“The treaty and the lan-

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-

signing itself took place west

they kind of get the big pic-

Q: What recourse do I have for poor
service or overcharging?
A: 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. For more information, you can visit
www.afsrb.ab.ca or call 1.800.563.4652.

SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
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;
parks and pathways
• Support affordable housing for seniors
and low income citizens
• Work with our neighbours and
the campground, they’ve made community groups to make Strathmore
some changes up there and with a great town
our park here. It’s really good, I • Prepare for the future through
think it’s moving forward,” said informed planning
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.

Look up to the stars

SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
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

Meet the candidates
With the Oct. 18 elections just around the corner,
the Strathmore Times asked candidates from the Town
of Strathmore, Wheatland County, Golden Hills School
Division, Village of Hussar and Village of Rockyford a
simple question. What are your main objectives for the
Town of Strathmore
MAYORAL
Kevin
Baldwin
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

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

2010 election?
Here is what the various candidates had to say …
(Please note, some of the candidates did not have the
opportunity to submit their answers prior to press time,
while one candidate declined to leave a comment.)
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
officials
As Mayor, together with Council, we will lis-
ten to our Citizens, build on our strengths and
make our community #1 in Alberta.
“Strathmore Putting Our Citizens First”
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.

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.

Brad

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

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.
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.
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.

Earl
Best
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

I believe my platform is quite basic and
straightforward. We need accountability, ef-

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.

I will work towards linking pathways,

development while being financially respon-

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.

munity, please support my bid for Council-

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

ogize to the author if he or she reads this

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.
Cheryl
Payne
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
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.
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.
- 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.
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.

very concerned about our present economy

be facing. That being said, one of my main

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)

and open a coffee shop (original Boulevard

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

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-

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.
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.

was built in 1980. At that time, we the Citi-

another structure would create. Furthermore
I am opposed to the salary increase for the

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

of Commerce and their economic develop-
ment officer.

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.

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

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.
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.

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.
• 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.
To show who I am, what I believe in and to
show how experience is a good thing. An-
swer all questions concise and correct, and
above all, be available for constituents to
voice concerns and opinions.

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

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

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

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

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.
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

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.

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.

doing so reduce property taxes for the rate-
payers.

choice for district 5 councillor in Wheatland

they would like to see happening and we

all are heard. The Village is a high priority for
me and I will continue to put its interests first.

School Trustees do not represent any

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.

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-

Please call 403-934-9681 The Town of Strathmore held a spe-

Dr. Elizabeth Robinson • Dr. Leanne Lesniak discuss bylaws in regards to the Wild-
flower Ranch. Cancorp Property Group
NEW patIENtS WELcoME and their consultants came forward with
#11 - 55 Wheatland trail, Strathmore a request. The first reading of the bylaw
was on Sept. 1.
Administration recommended a cou-

ing a road and a row of housing. The
recommended deleted part was a strip

ELECTION FACTS tion of Hill Crest Manor Estates.

Ranch Market

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.
Working hard
for their money
The Holy Cross Collegiate band students held
a bottle drive on Saturday outside the school to
help raise money for their upcoming trip to Dis-
neyland. Bags and bags of empty bottles were
dropped off outside the school on the 25 for the
students to take to the bottle depot.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Retired politician offers insight
To the Editor
I 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
Wheatland County hamlet to become junkyards
To the Editor
Recent 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
Hoping for a strong voter turnout
To the Editor
The 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

they promote changing from Town status to City status, in your mail box please
and if so, at what population levels? Why?
Another hot topic is the proposed realignment of
the Trans Canada Highway. Those candidates stating
give us a call 403.934.5589
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

Strathmore bypass
To the Editor
There 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.

New boundaries in effect

To the Editor
I 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

Bantam Spartans make a comeback to beat Wetaskiwin
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
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
Shannon LeClair Photo
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.”

unique teams he has coached in the

“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

we’re telling them and they’re getting
confidence in themselves,” said coach
Doug Klauck.
Strathmore doesn’t have an Atom

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

Sweet tooth
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.

Parliament reconvenes in Ottawa
KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., Crowfoot
Parliamentary 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

be scrapped. The registry was the Liberals failed attempt to
reduce the criminal use of firearms. It targets law-abiding re-

rural Canada, and taxes these Canadians with a paper-work
nightmare. We believe that Canadians want laws that target
criminals and criminal activity.

Conservative Party Maintains Pledge to Scrap Long-gun Registry
KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., Crowfoot
Parliamentary 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-
AnnuAl
vative Party does not believe in treating law-abiding hunters, HArvest FAir
farmers, and sports shooters as criminals.
Sorenson says, “This is the furthest we have come to dis-

have ever been and scrapping the registry remains one of the

gun registry is stronger in this country than it has ever been.”
Sorenson concludes, “The original purpose of the registry Any interested vendors
was to reduce crime - it has failed. Canadian taxpayers want phone 403-901-0477
the money spent to maintain it spent on measures that target
criminals instead of criminalizing farmers, duck hunters and
