The wind reached speeds of 98 km/hr according to En- vironment Canada. “There were quite a few trees that went down and were damaged in the parks and all over town,” said Dave Rimes, interim operations manager with the Town of Strathmore. “We had some damage to the fence at the tennis court up by curling rink. It’s amazing, even the big corner posts are bent. It’s amazing the wind did that.” According to Rimes, although damage caused by the storm wasn’t exclusive to one part of town, the older sections of Strathmore with bigger trees got hit the hardest. Fences were knocked down around town, including at Lambert Village. Many homes lost shingles which could be found on roads. Power was on and off in various parts of Strathmore during the storm. Power lines had trees fall on them but Fortis and the tree crews respond- ed quickly, tackling dangerous or emergency issues first. “Probably the busiest people after the storm were the tree crews and Fortis because they were run- ning around trying to get power back up and the trees off everywhere else,” said Rimes. The Strathmore Fire Department (SFD) was part of the initial response focusing on public safety is- sues. The SFD had 15 people and four trucks in operation. Muir Furzer, SFD deputy fire chief, said he was very proud of the quick response by SFD personnel. They responded to several calls of pow- er lines lying on the road and trampolines flying around because they weren’t secured. “We respond to a lot of different calls. Tracking down a wayward trampoline was different,” said Furzer. “We were helping out the lady. She was home by herself and we helped her get her tram- poline secured.” Lisa Conley is a Hillview resident who had her home damaged during the storm. The siding on her chimney was completely ripped off, exposing the wood underneath. “I thought it was weird that it was just the chim- ney that got stripped,” said Conley. “We have some damage in other areas but for it to just strip the chimney I thought it was odd.” Conley was also surprised at how quickly the town cleaned up fallen branches.

The order was announced on Feb. 7 in response to an in- crease in opioid- and fentanyl-related drug-induced deaths. “We see more (call outs for drugs) than we used to, it’s an increasing trend. Opium overdoses, and particularly fentanyl, is becoming more common,” said Kevin Link, paramedic and operations manager with Wheatland Emer- gency Medical Services (EMS). Naloxone is a highly effective drug that reverses the ef- fects of any opiates such as fentanyl, codeine, oxycodone, morphine, Percocet and heroin. The drug is extremely safe to use and only works on opiate overdoses. If someone was to be administered naloxone even if they were not overdosing on an opiate, it would not harm them as it ex- hibits essentially no pharmacologic activity. Though as with any medication, some rare but serious side effects, including death, can persist so the adminis- trant of the drug must weigh the potential side effects with the potential benefits. The government of Alberta is providing interested MFR agencies free training about opioid overdoses and how to administer naloxone. The naloxone kits are being provid- ed to MFR agencies at no cost. There are two versions: an intermuscular injection (most common) or a nasal spray injection. “I think it’s quite proactive that they are allowing in- jectable medications to be given by first responders,” said Link. “As paramedics, we have a lot of training and a lot of experience delivering a multitude of injectable medica- tions. It was quite thoughtful of the province to put this ministerial order forward so that (first responders) can use (naloxone).” Naloxone kits are also available at all pharmacies for the public to pick up, at no cost to them, if they believe they or a family member is at risk of a fentanyl overdose. Training on how to determine an opioid overdose as well as how to administer naloxone will be given by the pharmacists to individuals wishing to take home a naloxone kit. Take- home naloxone kits are only available as intermuscular injections. MFR agencies are not required by law to carry and ad- minister naloxone in the event of an opioid overdose; they remain free to make their own operational decisions re- garding carrying and administering naloxone. Several local MFR agencies are choosing to be proactive regarding potential fentanyl overdoses in Strathmore and Wheatland County by receiving training and carrying the naloxone kits.

One of the first projects the group took on was to declare the Anglican Church Strathmore’s first historical building and to move it to a new location after a devel- oper purchased the land that it sits on. Unfortunately, this project was a little too big for the WDHS so soon af- ter forming, and their efforts, although extensive, “came to an abrupt halt.” “The problem we ran into and the end result was that historical grants are only applicable if (the building) is on the original site. We can’t get a grant to move it,” said Tom Sadler, a director of the WDHS. Historic sites can be granted municipally or provin- cially, but it is the combination of the building and the site that grants them to be deemed historic, not one or the other. The three lots that the church sits on were originally donated by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), which makes it historically important to Strathmore. The developer, after purchasing the land, originally offered to sell the church to the WDHS for $15,000. They have since lowered their price to $2,000, but be- tween the costs of the building, moving costs, new land costs and the fact that the church would not be provin- cially granted historical status if it sits on new land, the WDHS decided moving the old church was not feasible unless a miracle happens. “It was a very sad day to lose one of our historical buildings,” said Denise Peterson, secretary of the WDHS. For the past year, the WDHS has been working with an app developer to design a historical walking app titled On the Spot. The app will feature three different walking tours of Strathmore with pictures of old, histori- cally important buildings in town, information about the site and the old buildings, and updated pictures taken from the same angle as the old photographs. The app, along with showing pictures from the 1900s and new photos, will also contain three levels of infor- mation: initial information, an expanded level to learn more and external links.

The Western District Historical Society (WDHS) held their annual general meeting on April 20 to elect of-ficers and to discuss plans for the coming year.

The WDHS has been around in one form or another for decades, although the most recent version has only been incorporated since January 2015.

Currently, there are 14 members who pay $20 per year to be a part of the group, which preserves the history of Strathmore and the area around it.

“We’ve got a small group and we are trying to think of ways to enlarge our membership,” said Rhonda Stock-well, WDHS president.

Strathmore is acting as a playground for se-rious concern, as a large number of the com-munity’s younger generation continue to be displaced, seeking refuge on a friend’s couch, in local businesses and even finding comfort in ATM vestibules.

The number of Strathmore residents between 15 and 25 years of age who are currently with-out a roof over their head is growing at an alarming rate, according to individuals in con-tact with those down and out.

Notwithstanding the fact that Strathmore’s vagrant are not readily visible in the town – sleeping on park benches or hanging out in parks – local businesses, churches and schools are becoming aware of the seriousness of the situation. No fewer than 50 individuals are esti-mated of resorting to “couch surfing” – crashing on friends’ couches and wandering from place to place – taking up residence in substandard housing, often without water or electricity, and even tenting.

Comic book and game store, Hobs Hobbies, has established itself as somewhat of a hub for teenagers in Strathmore. Owner John Hilton O’Brien, who holds a university degree in so-cial work and philosophy, and has been a staff-er, volunteer and board member on homeless organizations in Portland, Grande Prairie, Mil-waukee and Calgary, finds an average of five individuals in his store a week who are dis-placed.

“In terms of the youth homelessness Strathmore is troubled, and I have a handful of customers who are couch surfing, who come into the store because we have very cheap entertainment for them,” Hilton O’Brien said. “Maybe you need to couch surf because your parents are having a big fight and you just don’t want to be there, so who’s going to put you up? Is it that nice family who wants to take care of you, or is it the kid who you met at a party and invites you over and doesn’t have a lot of food but there’s some beer. You put this stuff together and it get’s real interesting.

“What we’re observing right now, it’s all an-ecdotal because it’s so hard to quantify, but we only have the stories the kids are telling us.”

Hilton O’Brien, among other members of the communities, have heard stories of teenagers staying with friends to avoid family violence, drugs, alcohol or mental health issues at home.

Forging ahead with construction to meet their September deadline, the Strathmore Overnight Shelter (SOS) just defeated an onerous hurdle, as a result of thousands of dollars worth of donated manpower and materials that cut the upwards-of-$100,000 cost to nearly half.

Volunteers were praised at a barbe-cue held last weekend, especially the Alberta-Saskatchewan-based company Legacy Fire Protection, which saved the non-profit society $9,000 in installa-tion, consulting and engineering plans, and using their connections to reduce the final cost of a sprinkler system and a fire suppression system to $60,000.

“We’ve got an amazing team of peo-ple who are centred on certain core values and they wanted to be a part of it,” said Carl Pollard, owner of Legacy Fire Protection.

“With homelessness, there are a lot of varying reasons. There are vulner-able people in society and they need community support. I think we’re for-tunate that we’re in the industry that we are and have an opportunity to provide for our families. Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, they’re in your community, so turning a blind eye doesn’t solve the problem.”

Due to space limitations, Pollard had to turn more volunteers away but said he had a large number of workers ea-ger to help on the project.

The requirement of a sprinkler sys-tem threw a wrench into the initial plans of Strathmore’s first ever over-night shelter – a result of changes to the Alberta Fire Code that were imple-mented in 2014, a year after the Har-vest Healing Centre Church was con-structed.

With the help of community mem-bers, volunteers and a board – which is expected to grow to nine members in the near future – countless hours have been spent to ensure the shelter’s pro-posed September opening date.

587-316-2000

MIRIAM OSTERMANNTimes Associate Editor

It’s been a trying week for Strathmore-Brooks MLA Derek Fildebrandt, who after facing scrutiny over sub-letting his taxpayer-subsidized Edmonton condo, dou-ble-dipping meal expenses, and allegedly being respon-sible for a hit-and-run incident, resigned from the United Conservative Party (UCP) on Tuesday.

Fildebrandt found himself in hot water earlier this month when news spread he had listed his taxpay-er-funded condo on Airbnb and earned $2,555 over eight months by renting out his living quarters when the legis-lature was not in session.

Along with 29 other eligible members, the Strathmore-Brooks representative also claimed the maximum amount in living allowances for the 2016-2017 fiscal year – or $23,160.

While his actions have been deemed as double dipping and hypocritical, Fildebrandt defended his behaviour, stating no rules were broken, he was vocal about the situation in the legislature and his decision was trans-parent.

Shortly after issuing an apology and donating the funds to the government to combat financial debt, Fildebrandt was once again the topic of discussion when Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark released records that showed the former UCP finance co-critic claimed food expenses while also claiming the per diem – an allowance per day – nine times for a total of $192.60 over a two-and-a-half year period.

In response, Fildebrandt chalked it up to administra-tive errors but took full responsibility for the mistakes with intentions of reimbursing any variances.

Furthermore, news broke of an ongoing court case re-sulting from a hit-and-run supposedly with his involve-ment in June 2016. Then, just after 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Fildebrandt took to Facebook to publicly announce his submission of his resignation to United Conservative Party Interim Leader Nathan Cooper, stating with media attention shedding light on private issues over public is-sues, taking responsibility would no longer suffice and therefore submitted his resignation.

“This young party cannot afford to be distracted from the formative period that is in right now as we come to-gether as conservatives,” he stated on his Facebook page.

“Right now, media controversy is distracting from the work that must be done as the UCP is founded. The UCP Leadership race should be focused on issues of leader-ship and values and not on personalities. My family and my constituents are the most important thing to me, and I want to do them proud. I’m a flawed man, and I can do better. If I have let anyone down, know that I have let myself down, and I will prove that I am the man that I hold as the standard for trust and integrity.”

Strathmore-Brooks MLA Derek Filde-brandt rallied supporters to vote in favour of the unification between Alberta’s two right-leaning parties and announced the formation of a new organization – United Liberty – on June 22.

Fildebrandt encouraged residents to em-brace the merger of the Progressive Con-servative Party (PC) and the Alberta Wil-drose Party into the United Conservative Party (UCP).

“We cannot erase the past two-and-a-half years of the NDP,” said Fildebrandt. “But we can prevent the next 20 years of the NDP if we come together.”

Many supporters wondered whether Fil-debrandt was going to run for leadership of the UCP against the current Wildrose leader Brian Jean and PC leader Jason Kenney.

“I have not decided if I will seek the leadership of the party,” said Fildebrandt. “But I am organizing actively right now to ensure I’m in a position to seek the leader-ship of the party after the unification vote.”

Gary Smith, who attended the event, has followed Fildebrandt’s career since he took the position of Alberta director and national research director at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation but said he wasn’t quite ready to commit to Fildebrandt as a leader.

“I always thought he would make an amazing premier in about 10 years,” said Smith. “Maybe Brian Jean or Jason Kenney first.”

Smith plans on joining the Wildrose Par-ty to vote for unity and liked the idea of Fildebrandt as the new finance minister.

Frieso Pouwer is a Wildrose member and has always been a Brian Jean support-er. Pouwer is cautious about Fildebrandt but wanted to give his local MLA a chance.

“He’s gotten himself into some hot water a couple of times,” said Pouwer. “But it’s only because he actually stated his mind, and people don’t like that nowadays.”

The Honourable Martin Shields, Member of Parliament for the Bow River constituency, ap-proached the Strathmore Town Council during the April 19 regular council meeting to make a delegation on matters that are currently hap-pening in Ottawa with the Federal Government.

“It’s been an interesting little while this spring. One thing that happened … that will affect all levels of government is the marijuana piece of legislation,” said Shields, adding that it will have a cascading effect on all three levels of government.

Currently, the federal government has intro-duced the broad strokes of a piece of mari-juana legislation just to get it out in the open. The plan is for the federal government to set broad guidelines regarding the legalization of marijuana and then the 10 provinces and three territories will take the next step regarding pro-vincial legislation.

Shields noted that they met with an Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) ex-ecutive in Ottawa who represented the munic-ipalities of Alberta and brought forward their concerns with the new piece of legislation.

AUMA believes that it will come down to the municipalities to do several things regarding marijuana legislation such as licensing, building inspections, approvals and policing.

In the end, several laws regarding marijua-na usage will differ between provinces, such as the distribution and sale method and the age at which a person will legally be able to consume marijuana in each province.

Originally, the federal government publicized that marijuana legalization will take place on July 1, 2018. However, they have backed off that date and although they have still set a tar-get date for marijuana to be legalized in 2018, there is no set date for it yet.

MP Shields proclaimed that he along with his party will be working to slow the legalization of marijuana down so that more specifics regard-ing the legislation are in place before a law is introduced and so that provincial and munici-pal governments are allowed more time to see what the ramifications are of the legislation and to deal with putting their own laws in place.

Family Day Unplugged 2017 was fun-filled and full of activities for families to participate in and to stay “unplugged” from technology so participants could connect with their friends, family and the community.

The Town of Strathmore organized this year’s Family Day celebrations in conjunction with sev-eral community partners who hosted several of the planned events.

The day started off with a pancake breakfast put on by the Cheadle Lions Club, complete with ma-gicians and a face painter.

During the breakfast, Strathmore Mayor Michael Ell announced the winner of the Strathmore 150 logo contest. The contest, launched in December, saw entries from Grade 7 to 12 students from Strathmore and Wheatland County. The top five entries were chosen, and over 500 votes were made by members of the community on their fa-vourite logo. The winner was Grade 8 student Em-meline Keeling, and four runners-up were Kiera McQuinn, Katie Zakariasen, Jayla Kenney and Ky-lie Bishop.

Keeling’s winning logo included a train in the centre of a maple leaf, surrounded by wheat, a cattail and people holding hands.

“I knew I wanted the maple leaf in it to repre-sent Canada and something to show the diversity in this town [people], as well as the train because that’s how this town first started: we were ‘the town that moved.’ I also wanted to show nature – the wheat and cattail – because the natural beauty is my favourite part of Strathmore,” said Keeling.

The logo was printed onto 150 buttons for peo-ple who attended the Family Day breakfast. Keel-ing herself received a shirt with the logo printed on it.

“This represents the strength of our community and joining hands and working together and be-ing proud of Canada,” said Strathmore mayor Mi-chael Ell on the winning logo.

Ell noted the Family Day celebrations are the kick-off to the town’s Canada 150 celebrations. “This is all about celebrating Canada and our Ca-nadian history and the Canadian future that we have,” said Ell. “One of the ways to do it is to cel-ebrate Family Day, which originally started in Al-berta.”

The Youth Club of Strathmore also hosted a car-nival with several games and many prizes for chil-dren while the breakfast was going on.

The Town of Strathmore has received $450,000 for upgrades to the ice plant system at the Strathmore Family Centre arena, through a new federal funding program.

To assist communities in celebrating Canada’s 150 years of confederation, the federal government has launched the Canada 150 Community Infrastruc-ture Program (CIP 150).

A total of $42.2 million has been al-located for community improvement projects across Western Canada.

Darshan Kang, Member of Parliament (MP) for Calgary Skyview, announced on Jan. 18 that seven recreational and cultural projects in southern central Alberta have received a Government of Canada CIP 150 investment total of $1,638,814.

“With this federal funding, many arenas and recreation centres will re-ceive upgrades and be improved. Such as the ice plant here in the Strathmore Family Centre arena, and the beauti-ful Sportsplex in Siksika,” said Kang. “Projects will help and enhance energy efficiency in community activities and centres.”

He added that the projects will leave a legacy lasting well beyond this year.

Upgrades at the Strathmore arena will include a new condenser and mo-tor, two new compressors and motors, two brine pumps and new control sys-tem upgrades.

“The Strathmore Family Centre is designed for year-round recreation. Thousands of people pass through this centre weekly,” said Strathmore Mayor Michael Ell, who added that the cen-tre operates at capacity for most of the year.

The current ice plant system in place is over 26 years old and has not yet needed any major renovations.

Nestled along the heart of the TransCanada Highway in Alberta is the vibrant community of Strathmore – where quality of life is a way of life.

Known as one of Canada’s fastest growing communities, Strathmore provides the idyllic lifestyle for families, with a high-quality standard of living.

This community of over 12,500 boasts spirit, excellent recreation, business opportunities and a strong education system. Strathmore offers all the benefits of living in a safe community, but also has the advantage of being a community just 22 minutes east of Calgary. A quick drive down Highway 1, west of Strathmore, leads right into one of Canada’s largest cities.

Families are provided with all sorts of recreational opportunities from the Family Centre; which boasts Olympic and NHL sized ice surfaces, to the Aquatic Centre, which includes a kiddie pool, hot tub, water slide, multi-purpose room and lane pool. Additionally, Strathmore has soccer fields, baseball diamonds, numerous parks and walking paths, a golf course within the town, and various golf courses in close proximity to the town.

Strathmore’s Parks Department strives to provide parks, open spaces and pathways that enrich the leisure needs and quality of life for citizens. The community endeavours to establish playgrounds that are appropriate for a wide range of ages and offers opportunities for creative fun.

Kinsmen Park is a fantastic spot for families to enjoy year-round. Located in the downtown core, Kinsmen Park has pathways, ice skating in the winter, gazebos, picnic benches, docks for fishing, a playground, washroom facilities and a brand new amphitheatre.

A popular destination on a hot summer day is the Lions Spray Park, located on the south end of Kinsmen Park. The spray park includes a great variety of colourful spray apparatus that are activated by touch.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the Ducks Unlimited projects and variety of wildlife at many ponds and wetlands throughout Strathmore. Gray’s Park, located on the east side of Wheatland Trail, is a great spot for families in all seasons. Throughout the winter it is a normal sight to see people gathering for a game of shinny or for a leisurely skate. During the warmer months the well used paths come to life as people enjoy the wildlife, flora and fauna in their natural habitats.

Spirit drives this community and there are hundreds of opportunities to get involved. No matter what your interests are, there is something for you.

Volunteers are always welcome to participate in major community events such as the Canada Day celebrations, Heritage Days, Relay for Life, and the ever-popular Celebration of Lights. Being involved in these events, or those put on by the many schools, churches and community service groups, brings people together to

develop lifelong friendships and the opportunity to give back.

Strathmore is a bustling community with a wide-range of housing available. Whether you want to be close to downtown, or schools, modern residential developments, brand new subdivisions, adult communities, or townhouses, there is plenty to choose from in affordable price ranges. Thanks to the East Calgary Regional Waterline, Strathmore is now being supplied with potable water from the City of Calgary. The line was finished, successfully commissioned and has been in service since January 2012. To supplement the potable water is the new wastewater treatment plant, managed by EPCOR. Strathmore can now meet the water demands of a population of more than 30,000 residents.
