Over 1,000 attendees enjoyed StrathmoresSept. 6 launch o the Tour o Alberta, as over 120pro cyclists raced rom the towns streets all theway to Drumheller.

It was a great success. I think that it put Strath-more on the map, said Mayor Steve Grajczyk.As we were speaking on the stage, it was beingstreamed live to 350 million viewers around theworld. To me, it was a real plus.

This was the frst year or the Tour o Alberta;the Alberta government is backing the project oranother two years. Grajczyk and his sta are al-ready encouraging to have a tour stage end inStrathmore next year.

I think I would love to see that happen, saidTracy Simpson, recreational events and commu-

nications coordinator or the Town. Its a bit big-ger, we get to put on an awards ceremony, andhave a bigger estival. I think now that peoplehave seen what its all about, the Town will reallyget behind it. I were successul, it would be justan amazing experience.

Grajczyk ollowed the riders along the route inthe pace car, and called it one o the most excit-ing things Ive ever done in my lie, it was sucha thrill.

Driving with an Olympic cycling silver medal-ist, the pace car stayed one minute ahead o theracers.

We were going down the hill o the highwaygoing 90 km/h. They were right behind us, hesaid.The overall winner o the tour also won the

Stage 3 day rom Strathmore to Drumheller; Aus-

tralian Rohan Dennis o Team Garmin-Sharp fn-ished with an average speed o 43 km/h over 170km on Sept. 6, and had an aggregate time o 17hours, 45 minutes, and 40 seconds over the fverace days.

I came into this race in pretty good orm, said23-year-old Dennis. I really didnt know how itwould play out throughout the week. I guess itplayed out well. So, Im a little surprised. Its thebiggest win o my pro career.

The top Canadian winning the Maple Leajersey was Ryan Anderson o Optum P/B KellyBeneft Strategies, with an aggregate time o 17hours, 49 minutes, and 36 seconds; he fnishedeighth overall, while Canadian avourite RyderHesjedal placed 60th.

For those who think campaigning or the municipal elec-tion is just about hanging signs and shaking hands, thinkagain. The extensive inormation session held on Sept. 5, atthe Town o Strathmore revealed there is a wealth o inor-

mation that those considering ofce should take into consid-eration.Some people think that it is just the frst and third Wednes-

day per month that they have to attend. Thats not it, saidDwight Stanord, chie administrative ofcer (CAO). Thereare also good selections o committees they need to serveon.

Not to mention all the subsidiary materials that need tobe reviewed, like the Municipal Government Act, which is ahety tome in itsel.

Department heads and administrative sta outlined a com-prehensive overview o areas o knowledge, roles and re-sponsibilities that councillors or mayoral successors wouldencounter. Facts about what issues were developing or thecoming term were presented. One example was the approxi-mate $2.5 million defcit aced yearly to run recreational andcivic centres in Strathmore.The need or new residents to lit the burden o committed

costs or residential water and utility commitments was alsomentioned. The retention o an on-sta development andplanning ofcer was mentioned as an area that needed to bereinorced.

Sta also went over some o the essential election materialneeded to fle their nomination papers and run their cam-paigns. Each o the department heads outlined their staroles and responsibilities as well.There were a handul o men interested in the possibility

o running or ofce, some with over 30 years residency inthe town.

I ound the evening very inormative, said Allan Auger.Most o the other participants were still deciding i theywould run or were keeping their options open beore theychose which position they were considering.

Both Bob Sobol and Pat Fule, current council members,were also on hand or a reresher course.

Sobal said sometimes people come in thinking they canchange the way things are done in the Towns dierent de-partments. He has learned that is not the case and the Townsta are very capable. He ound them very helpul through-out his term in ofce.

I think one important thing is to trust the support stato do their jobs. We are not here to bang the nails or oil thewheels.

There were no potential woman candidates that attendedthe meeting.The election will be held October 21, with voting at the

Civic Centre. Advanced polls will be held at the town ofce,

Oct. 16 rom 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nomination papers with the$250 ee, have to be fled on Sept. 23 rom 8:30 am.-noon. Nolate entries are allowed. There will be candidate orums heldat the Civic Centre on Oct. 3 and Oct. 9.

Sta at the County administrationbuilding will be encouraged by Wheat-land councils decision to go aheadwith urther development on the Ad-ministrative building expansion. Theyalso voted to support the council cham-

ber enhancement and ront oce up-grades.From what I hear rom our sta and

what I see, there is denitely a need,said Chie Administrative Ocer (CAO)Alan Parkin.

The pressure o additional growthin programs and sta, and accom-modating WFCSS in the building, haslet working areas seriously cramped.The small Protective Services oce isshared by our people. File rooms havebeen lled to overfowing, leading tohousing overfow in several le roomsthroughout the building. The datacopying centre sits between adminis-trative sta desks in ull view o thereception area with sta crossing other

sta working areas to retrieve copies.There have been several opportunitiesor the county to host interns in thevarious departments, but they had tobe reused as the space to accommo-

date them was not available.Currently the county oce build-

ing houses 31 sta in 19 oces andront workstations. It is anticipated thatstang needs will be maintained or in-creased slightly over the next 10 years.The addition o oce space will secureroom or growth or the next ten years,i past and present patterns continue,said Parkin.The proposal is an addition o 12

metres by 40 metres on the east endo the existing building which will bedesignated as oce space. It still leavesroom or urther expansion i neededin the uture. A 12 metre x 12 meteraddition to the west end o the build-ing will house a multiuse space usedor meetings, an Emergency OperationCentre, or training. Five existing ocespaces will be reduced to two, to allowaccess corridors or the new spaces,and the expropriated three oces willbe relocated in the East wing. Therewill also be improved storage spacesand multiuse areas.

Saety and security concerns will see

improvements to the ront receptionarea, so that workers can eel sae irequired to work evenings. There willbe a new visitor policy that will helplocate them in the building in the event

o an emergency. The Protective Ser-vices manager brieed council on sev-eral initiatives that he was working onand it is expected a security systemwill be in place ater renovations takeplace. Council made it clear that theywanted the public to eel welcome andarchitectural space should refect thatattitude in any o the new designs andpolicies.

Council approved moving ahead witharchitectural drawings and requesteda cost analysis, so they could consulturther with the public. They hope togather eedback at an open house androm comments on the county website.Parkin is hoping new architecturaldrawings will make clear how the ex-pansion will better serve county needs,now and or ten years to come.

Parkin said this project will be und-ed rom reserves and/or Provincialgrants. Current tax revenue will notbe utilized to und this project. Noincrease in taxes rom current or u-ture years will be required to und thisproject. The Council upgrades are ap-

proximated at $345,000 with the totalproject estimated at $1.5 Million.

Council was hoping to have thedrawings and open house prior to theall elections.

exciting sport and or a beginnerssport, its pretty reasonable to get into.

Over 100 volunteers were needed toput on Strathmores estival.

It was so exciting to see our volun-teers and to see what a great job they

did, said Grajzcyk.I think an event like that brings out

a lot o community spirit. People gath-er together, and celebrate, said Simp-son. It makes you happy to live whereyou live.

A request or the Strathmore and District Christmas Ham-per Society was made to town council at the Sept. 4 regularcouncil meeting. The society has been receiving unds romWheatland County or a number o years to help support thehamper program.The unds, which equaled $5,000, have been used in the

past to purchase turkeys and hamper items or residents oStrathmore, Wheatland County and surrounding communi-ties.The Christmas Hamper Society requested a grant rom the

town in the amount o $2,700 to be able to purchase itemsor the hampers or the society.There was some conusion at the council meeting as to

whether the county would still be involved in helping sup-port the program.

It was suggested that the $5,000 be split with 46 per centcovered by the county and the remaining 54 per cent be

granted through the town because o the participation romthe two dierent areas.Town council was unclear whether the county would in-

deed still be contributing to the program.A decision or the $2,700 grant was put o until clarifca-

tion was given by Wheatland County.We have every intention o contributing or that and or-

warding any ood donations or anything else that wouldcome in, said Lynn Walker, program coordinator or Wheat-land Family and Community Support Services (WFCSS).

She clarifed that what had happened previously was WF-CSS did a lot o administrative help or the program beorethe town ormed its own FCSS ofce. Now WFCSS is no lon-ger providing the administrative portion, but Walker said thecounty still has every intention o supporting the programbecause it is a defnite need or the residents. She said theunding is not coming rom WFCSS, but is coming rom thecounty o Wheatland.The request or unding will return to the Sept. 18 regular

town council meeting or a decision.

The downtown overlay plans movetoward a public hearing on Sept. 18,with a ew new changes that were add-ed by a volunteer working group andtown administrative and planning sta.

The working group is in place andwe have had good eedback rom theopen houses, said Patricia Maloney,the contract planner retained to helpwith the project. It is not a new idea. Itis a common tool or the town to use.

Many communities in Alberta haveused overlays as part o their rebrand-

ing process and it becomes part o thetowns identity to external audiences.The frst reading o the bylaw has

been passed and i council approvessecond and third reading, sta willmove ahead with a special rezoningpackage. All parts o the plan are ex-pected to improve economic, business,recreational and land use opportuni-ties. Planners are interested in eed-back rom the public as to where theboundaries should be applied. They areproposing three dierent sections withpossible allowances or dierent typeso residential and commercial use. Thespecifcs proposed by the plan are post-ed on the Town o Strathmore websitewww.strathmore.ca

The working committee has cho-sen to merge Railroad Heritage andMessy Vibrancy themes in eorts tolend character to the downtown core.The Railroad Heritage was chosen torecognize the historical ties in the com-munity, and Messy Vibrancy was to in-crease interest and incorporate art bylocal artists into the plan. While MessyVibrancy wasnt specifcally defned,planners used the painted exterior oStrathmore Florist or the gardens oRed Carrot as examples. Murals on barewalls, low maintenance seating, inter-connected walkways, upgraded alleyaccesses and open public areas lead-ing to unique businesses with interest-

ing window displays were also part othe vision. Unique signs and awningsalong with greenery will be encour-aged. Presenters did not elaborate howthe two theme ideas would be synchro-nously merged.

In past open houses the downtownbusiness community took exception toorced compliance to the overlay. Theplan does not require owners o exist-ing buildings to currently modiy theirbuilding rontage, but i upgrades aredone they will be encouraged to incor-porate some o the new componentsinto their plans. The town is hopingto encourage businesses to do this by

negotiating nonfnancial benefts or in-terested parties, or help develop part-nerships between businesses. Therewill be some new requirements orvacant buildings. There was no statisti-cal data presented at this time to mea-sure or evaluate the potential successor the plan, however Maloney statedthat to achieve success, the downtownarea needs interesting activity and busi-nesses to attract people 24 hours a day,seven days a week. No cost analysis orthe plan was presented at the Sept. 6open house. Many o the town counciland operational sta attended.The town will be responsible or all

inrastructure development. For exam-ple, installation o unique lighting, sub-

surace work, handicap riendly curbs,possible brick pathways and seatingareas, maintenance o parks, etc. Theyhave also committed to use town re-sources to support estivals and eventsin the downtown areas.

Planners are encouraging residentsto continue to submit their suggestionsto the Town ofce. Anyone wanting topresent concerns at the public hearingmust contact the Municipal Clerk at403-934-3133 to schedule a time thatyou will be heard and submit a writtensummary o what you want to discussor present by Wednesday, Sept. 11. Theoverlay is expected to be implementedin the spring o 2014.

[WOW!]See for yourself.

Did you know that our bodies contain about 10

trillion human cells. Coexisting with these cells

are bacterial cells numbering 100 trillion. These

bacterial cells are called the microbiome of thebody and play important roles in digestion, skin

health and our immune system. Bacteria arent all

bad.

The total fertility rate in Canada in 2011 was

1.61. This the average number of children per

woman. The lowest rate was in B.C. at 1.42 while

the highest was in Nunavut at 2.97.

Drug researchers are still looking to nature to

nd ways to treat common diseases. Gout for

example affects about 2% of Canadians over the

age of 50. The humble cherry might be a source

of relief. There is something in cherries that helps

decrease the amount of uric acid in the body.

Uric acid build-up is associated with the pain and

swelling well-known to those with gout.

Electronic cigarettes have not been OKd for sale

in Canada. They vapourize pure nicotine to satisfy

the smokers urge for the nicotine high. However,

there is no evidence of the longterm safety of in-

haling nicotine and the risk of addiction is alwaysa possibility. For now, those wanting to stop

smoking can use other forms of nicotine replace-

ment. Our pharmacists can help.

Our pharmacists will be happy to talk to you

about smoking cessation. As well as having the

will to quit and a way of replacing the nicotine

you wont be getting from smoking, good counsel-

ing is also really important. We can help.

Councillor Ken Sauve plans to step down rompublic oce ater close to a decade o service toGleichen, Cluny and surrounding area and theratepayers in Wheatland County.

Looking over his career Sauve said he had al-ways been interested in politics. His rst nudgeto seek oce was when he was involved with im-proving surace rights or area landowners. It wasan issue that he carried into his rst term. A desireto aect a positive change propelledhim to garner support, with repre-sentatives rom other municipalities

under the Alberta Association o Mu-nicipal Districts and Counties. Theyreviewed the Surace Rights Act andsubmitted suggested actions or con-sideration to the Alberta Govern-ment.

There were always other issues,you dont stop and work on just oneissue. There were a lot o them,Sauve said.

One thing I was pretty proud owas the Marigold Library System.When I came to council, we worked to becomepart o the Marigold Library system. We also es-tablished all the rural address signs, which are re-ally benecial to EMS, ambulance and re, Sauvesaid about two o his career highlights.

His decision to step down was infuenced by

careul consideration to the requirements thecommitment o another our years o servicewould mean. Public oce demands many hourso service. He said he talked with his wie andthey decided they would like to travel while theystill have their health. He said he was also lookingorward to spending more time with his grand-children and amily.

Sauve has learned some lessons along the wayand he has some sage advice or the up and com-ing candidates.

They have to run an election. When I startedout, I knew i I wanted it I had to get out andtalk to people. I called at every house and talkedto about 80 per cent o the people. I learned thatissues I thought were important were important,but everybody else had important issues too. Ihope that whoever gets in there, as Councillor orReeve, uses that to listen to everybodys concernsand not be a single issue person, said Sauve.

He suggested that new candidates sit in oncouncil meetings beore running, as he ound thatvery benecial.

Sauve said he was always thank-ul or the communitys supportthroughout his terms o oce.

All residents, and especially theresidents in my constituency thatvoted or me and supported me, Iappreciate 100 per cent. I also wantto put praise on the sta o Wheat-land County. We are ortunate tohave top end sta in this county. Itis one o the most highly thought oCounties in the province and thatis a lot to do with the sta. Theywere a pleasure to work with, saidSauve.

The praise also comes back to Sauve with thiscomment rom Reeve Glenn Koester.

Ken represented not only the citizens o Di-vision 2, but all o Wheatland County with air-ness. He always considered the potential impacto any decision on the uture wellbeing o Wheat-

land County and its residents. Kens insights andknowledge o Wheatland County helped makehim an essential member o council. Ken is a teamplayer with integrity and a good sense o humorand his input at council will be missed; WheatlandCounty is a better place thanks to Ken, said ReeveGlenn Koester.

Koester wished Sauve good luck in all his utureendeavors.

Sauve is expecting his nal motion and vote willbe cast sometime in October.

Strathmore United Church

In 1918, the Presbyterian and Methodist church-es in Strathmore merged to orm the UnionChurch. Then on June 10th 1925, the Congrega-tional Church joined these two denominations toorm the United Church o Canada.The original United Church building was locat-

ed where the Provincial Courthouse now stands.The congregation in the 1950s was made up omembers and adherents rom several surroundingcommunities including Ardenode, Cheadle, Lyalta,Namaka, and Nightingale who agreed to attendthe Strathmore United Church or all services.When the present church was built during

1962-63, much o the work was done by volun-teer help. Farmers brought their trucks to hauldirt and building materials while others broughttools and their sweat equity. Many members othe congregation pitched in to help complete thechurch which was dedicated on Sept. 22, 1963. OnJune 22, 1972a mortgageburning cer-emony washeld.

Since thattime manymodicationshave beenmade to thebuilding. In1984 there were changes made to the ront othe sanctuary to make it more user riendly. Dur-ing 1995 a larger addition was built to replacethe original entrance to the church. More storagespace became available in the new basement, and

an elevator now enabled access by handicappedindividuals to the other levels o the building. Oth-er eatures o the new addition included a groundlevel washroom, a larger gathering area inside thechurch entrance, and new oces or the ministerand church secretary. In the oyer, three beautiulstained-glass windows, originally memorial win-dows placed in the old church in 1945, were in-corporated into the new addition. A dedication othis addition was held on Mar. 24, 1996, and themortgage was burned on Sept. 26, 1999.

Buildings do not make a church, just as a housedoes not always make a home. The members o

the congregation, each in their own way, nd aniche where their talents may be utilized to carryout Gods work within our congregation and the

larger community. An example o this is refectedin the 1960s ormation o a Soiree Social groupspearheaded by senior members o the church.Their eorts resulted in the ormation o the non-denominational Happy Gang, a seniors groupstill active within the community o Strathmore.

Over the years our congregation has supportedmany church programs or children and youth.These include Explorers, Canadian Girls in Train-ing (CGIT), Hi-C, Junior Choir, Sunday School, Va-cation Bible School, and summer day camps.

Numerous social activities and undraisers in-cluding suppers, picnics, breakasts, canoe trips,camp-outs, talent shows and game nights contin-ue to be enjoyed by all who participate.

Over the years our church building has alsobeen home to a wide variety o organizations thatprovide great benets to our community at large.Some o these include: Play School, Alcoholics

Anonymous ,Time-Out orYoung Moth-ers, Take OPounds Sen-sibly (TOPS),Girl Guides,S p a r k s ,B r o w n i e s ,B e a v e r s ,Cubs, Music

Lessons, a Fetal Alcohol Support Group, Quilters,Dance Groups, the Gleichen Choir, and more.The United Church Women have done a great

deal to contribute to the lie o the church withnumerous activities over the past 50 years. One o

their major projects has been the organization andoperation o Spring and Fall Thrit Sales, rst initi-ated in 1976. This event continues to support proj-ects in the church, the community and the worldat large through our Mission and Service Fund.As we recall the past 50 years and look orward

to the next 50 years, we invite the community oStrathmore to share in our celebration. A specialAnniversary Service will be held at 3 p.m. on Sun-day, Sept. 22, ollowed by a supper at 5 p.m. Tick-ets or the supper are available or $5 rom theChurch Oce or by contacting Donalda Ledeneat 403-934-5871.

Fule for Thought

Weve just hit a milestone in the Fule amily. Mosto you, who know us, know Old Red. Old Redis our 1996 Ford Windstar. We bought it here backwhen there was a dierent Ford dealership at thepresent ones location.

Old Red hauled around a lot o kids over the years,to all sorts o sporting and social aairs. In act, itskind o scary to realize just how many people knowme in Old Red.

Its pretty much impossible to park anywhere,without people knowing where I am! Well, the old

timer is about to be let go. His speedometer just quitworking, his brakes are weak, he needs new tires,and hes got 285,000 km on him. Hes been amazing,and weve only had one major repair bill. However,the electrical system is alling apart, and not all thedoors and windows work!

Old Red had one o the rst portable VCR unitsbuilt into a middle console. In act, ater buying him,we had to drive him to Airdrie to get that installed.All the trips and all the movies eventually causedthat VCR to kick the bucket, and we moved on to aDVD player. Old Red just kept on truckin.

Hes driven us all over the place, to Vancouver andback a ew times, and once he took us up Goingto the Sun Highway in the States. I believe I wasa bit panicky on that road, with its huge drop-osand clis, and I re-discovered the power o Prayer!

Weve been through blistering sun, rain andhydro-plaining, kids spilling all sorts o concoctions,snowy blizzards, and the amily dog, or the last 13years!

In act, its the perect van or the dog, becauseit has a tall middle console, where hes loved to sitand watch trac, or years. All you have to say toour dog, is: car ride, and he goes crazy, ready orcruisin! Brodies always been a good dog on rides ...he can go or hours with no problems. It is a bit em-barrassing when he scratches at the passenger doorwindow whenever a motorcycle goes by, though.For some reason, hes always been ascinated bymotorbikes, and he has to try and get their atten-tion! Maybe hes trying to catch a ride I think hedhave been an excellent motorcycle dog, you know,

the ones who actually wear goggles?!Another reason Old Red is perect or our brown

and white dog/human, is that the van runs with theignition key out o the steering column. So, on hotdays, i I have to run into a store, I can take outthe key, and hes in cool, rosty comort. In act,there have been a ew times when Ive seen peoplewalk toward Old Red thinking Brodies in heat dis-tress! However, when they get closer and can hearOld Red whirring, wheezing, and its an blowing,they realize Brodies actually cooler than they are!Ill fop into the van sweating, to be greeted by thecoolest dog in Strathmore, his ur and ears blowingin the chilled AC! In 17 years, weve never had to do

anything to the AC system, its as i Old Red is keep-ing that system running or his urry pal!When you think about it, a amily vehicle is where

you spend a great many hours with your kids. OldRed has seen us at our best and happiest. Hes drivenus to unerals as we say goodbye to riends or am-ily. Hes been borrowed or birthday parties, or ason at university where some weird neighbour tooka bat to his ront ender! Hes protected us with hisseat belts, dual air bags, ABS breaks, and once hisoh so nimble steering, helped me dodge a hugeevergreen tree that ell o a landscaping truck, rightin ront o us! Hes even tried hard to be a truck orme, as I loaded him up with bags o dirt, shrubs,and ertilizer. Hes hauled lumber, garbage, and re-cycling hes been a boss!This last weekend, the Fules bought a slightly

used truck. I havent broken the news to Red yet,but hes no dummy. In a ew days, hell see the new-er truck, and even though its also a Ford, hes goingto be sad. Hes going to know. Hell put two andtwo together in his mini van brain, and realize thatwe cant keep all these vehicles. Oh sure, well allbe brave, and Red will carry on somehow, in someorm. Maybe hell be parted out, or maybe a kindsoul will x him up a bit or his golden years!There are a lot o young people who snowboard

hed be an awesome snowboard carrier andthey could have a video player to play their record-ed jumps and crashes! I none o that happens, Imgoing to try and nd him a nice arm, where he candrive around with all the other old Ford Windstars!Yeah, hed like that.

Through a competitive process theTown o Strathmore and WheatlandCounty were selected to be a lighthousecommunity or the Becoming a Commu-nity Builder initiative.

This is an opportunity to increasevolunteerism, business proftabilityand strengthen community resiliencythrough training in community capac-ity building emerging training practice,said Teri McKinnon, chair o the steeringcommittee at the Sept. 4 town councilmeeting.

Becoming a Community Builder is a15-week competency-based communityand proessional leadership develop-ment program oered with two distinct

but simultaneous learning tracks. Oneo those tracks is or the general adultcommunity service provider, non-sectordriven.The other track is specifcally or high

school students.The purpose o Becoming a Commu-nity Builder initiative is based on two

very simple principles. One, that peo-ple closest to the problem are the bestequipped to solve the problem, saidMcKinnon.

And two that education and supporto grassroots organizations and commu-nity leadership knowledge aligns time,talent and treasure towards a commongoal. The purpose is to prove and estab-lish in Strathmore and Wheatland Coun-ty an emerging practice that when pres-ent enhanced community leadershipcapacity makes great things happen.

Six desired outcomes were thoughto or measurement o the attainment

o instigating this initiative. McKinnonlisted the top three, which include: in-creased alignment and connectedness othe community; the increased entrepre-neurialism and support or local busi-ness; and enhanced leadership trainingor youth.

Upon being selected as a lighthouse

community, there was a leadership de-velopment program, and training onhow to deploy the program in Strath-more.Access to the program is unlimited.

All it requires is a username and a pass-word. The program will remain ree andaccessible to Strathmore and WheatlandCounty or lie.

That means it can be reused or highschool students, it can be reused ornew executives on community service

boards, it can be reused as training orelected ofcials or any business teamdevelopment, said McKinnon.

She asked or the participation ocouncil in the actual program so they

can see frst hand what it is all about.She also asked or a one-time grant o$1,000 to go towards the tuition o theprogram. The tuition that was paid byBow Valley College was $7,500 andthey have recouped some o those coststhanks to some local support.The program is on demand but partic-

ipants can go to the live stream webcastand ollow the program on the 21 oneday change continuum.

McKinnon said though i you wantto go in and do the competency on aSunday aternoon at 4 p.m. then all youhave to do is log on.

Its a really non-traditional and excit-ing learning continuum, said McKin-non.

Ian Hill developed the content. Hillis the ounder o the Let Them Be KidsFoundation, which is a North American-

based organization that builds skate-board parks and playgrounds. He alsois the executive director o the ChangingPoint, which was contracted by the gov-ernment o Alberta to pilot a test project

at Fort McMurray and Wood Bualo.The pilot test project, Becoming a

Community Builder, was well receivedand now other Alberta communitieshave been selected to see i it works

well in other areas.Once the template is built it will be

evaluated and measured. An evaluationsummary report will go back to everyparticipating community. Then the f-nal template will be built and it will bemarketed to other provinces across thecountry and then nationally.

We believe that Rural Communitiesare relevant in the 21st century and thatCommunity success always boils downto leadership. Community Leadership

Capacity is the key, said Hill in a pressrelease.

Community Leadership Capacity isleadership excellence o both ormaland inormal leaders within all sec-tors, silos, and corners o a community.

We are excited to have Strathmore andWheatland County as a Lighthouse Com-

munity. They were selected because webelieve the organizing committee andcommunity will be a great example o

what can happen when a communitymakes an all out commitment to developinormal leaders in the community.

Hill will be spending a hal-day in thecommunity to help launch the programon October 8, 2013. Mr. Hills day willeature a series o both ormal and in-ormal activities to learn more about theprogram, partner associations and meetcommunity members.

Community members can register orree to the leadership development pro-gram by going to www.register.becom-ingacommunitybuilder.ca.

Strathmore resident Trevor Dahlbrought a request to town council tosee an amendment made to the animalbylaw to allow potbelly pigs as housepets. Dahl has been a rescuer and own-er o potbelly pigs or 10 years and aresident in the town o Strathmore orve years.

He said in reading the bylaw itseemed more ocused on animalsbest suited to agricultural land, andhe agrees with not allowing people toraise sheep or goats next to his house.

Dahl said his pig weighs about 30lbsand he has absolutely no desire tobreed potbelly pigs at this time. Hegave council a list o reasons aboutwhy he would like to see amendmentsmade to the bylaw.

They are extremely clean animals

compared to what everyone seems tothink and kind o the repertoire thatthey run with. There is next to no smellwhen you do have a pet pig living inyour house or your back yard, saidDahl.There can be concern about toiletry

habits; he said the pig itsel, i giventhe option, would not go to the bath-room anywhere where it lives.

I the pig is house trained it will dothe same as a dog and ask to be letoutside. As or noise, he said in his 10years o having pet pigs he has hadguests that didnt even realize he had apet pig until the guest saw it.

As or how they are being a housepet, theyre extremely aectionate,

theyre social animals. Ours would layin the living room foor and i he actu-ally had the chance and was able toscore over the dog hed be up on thecouch, cuddling on the couch, saidDahl.

He said a potbelly pig will greet youat the door the same as a dog would,and they love having their belly rubbed.

I know in changing the bylaw therewould be a ear o having an infux opotbelly pigs coming into the town.Ive researched everything that I haveever had as a pet long beore I everthought about getting it. As a respon-sible pet owner I have made sure all omy animals have vet care, said Dahl.

Ill be the rst one to admit I dontthink everyone should have a potbellypig, theyre not a normal pet, theyrenot or everybody and i you wantto have one I say get educated rst.Theres dietary concerns, theres healthconcerns and theres knowledge youneed to know beore you think aboutgetting this as a pet.

Dahl said there are seven lineageso the potbelly pig. When they rstbecame popular they were the true

potbelly pig that only gained 55 to75lbs, which was the average dog size,weight-wise. The bigger pigs camerom cross breeding not being doneproperly. In the amendment therecould be a limit to the size and breedo the pig to ensure there arent sud-denly a number o 150 to 200lb pigsbeing abandoned. Dahl said there aretwo lineages genetically that could bespecied that are considered the microor mini potbelly pig which would beany pig under 85lbs.

Councillor Pat Fule is concerned thati they open the door and dont speciythe type, then people will end up withthese large pigs that they dont knowwhat to do with. He asked ChristineCampbell, chairperson with the boardo directors or Oops-a-Dazy Rescue,who was in attendance at the meeting,i there is a problem with abandonedpotbelly pigs in Alberta.

Campbell said there were a lot oproblems in the beginning. One othose things was dietary: people wouldget their pig and eed it pig ood whichmakes sense. But that ood is designedor pigs o the large porcine type,which helps them grow and is notmeant to be ed to potbelly pigs.

We as an organization have done alot o work to educate the public aboutpigs, said Campbell.

We oer personalized coaching toanyone considering adoption o a pigto try to prevent those sorts o issues.What we do nd now is the problemswith abandonment are as a result obylaws like this which are designedprimarily as Trevor mentioned or the

agricultural swine.Dahl said over the years he has no-

ticed a decrease in the education aboutowning pet pigs.

Theyre not an easy pet to take careo, i you want actual description onwhat its like to have a pet pig in yourhouse you have to imagine having athree-year-old child in your house or15 years, with the same intelligencelevel, said Dahl.They have to be entertained, they

have to have toys and play and i theirtoy is dirty they wont play with it. Theencing needed in a yard or a pot-belly pig would be the same as whatsomeone would use or a dog, and not

chicken wire. Rooting can become aconcern i the pig is let alone or along time outside with no toys or dis-tractions, but even then it would be aminor concern. The Dahl amily dis-poses o manure by either giving it toa arm out in Gleichen that uses ertil-izers, or giving it to their riends withgardens.

Council suggested that administra-tion meet with Dahl and Campbell tocreate an amendment to the bylaw.

Potbelly pigs may soon bewelcome in Strathmore

have come up. There has also been an increaseo enrollment. With just a couple o exceptionsin a couple o schools it looks like enrollment isabove predictions almost everywhere.

Were pretty excited, our enrollment is upoverall in Golden Hills. So were pretty excited towelcome a lot o new kids into classrooms across

out district, said Daverne.When GHSD had looked at the act the Grade1 students would move on to Grade 2 and so on,the numbers added up to a 2.5 per cent to threeper cent decline in enrollment. Instead, the divi-sion actually had a one per cent increase which isquite a bit above their projection.

Weve made a number o changes in the lastew years. We want to be more responsive to par-ents, we want to have better and be enhancingour programming at the school level. More stu-dent ocus, so I think a lot o that work that hasbeen ongoing over the last ew years I think wereseeing some dividends rom that, said Daverneabout the possible reason or the increase.

In previous years GHSD schools had partici-pated in the Alberta Initiative or School Improve-ment (AISI). The government is no longer unding

it but Daverne said GHSD is still moving orwardwith system improvements.

What started with AISI on a provincial land-scape is still very much a ocus or us withinGolden Hills at all o our schools so we want tocontinue the work that we started, said Daverne.

Since AISI rst started, it has morphed andchanged over the years. At GHSD the ocus theyhave had or the past number o years has beenon learning, the collaborative connected creativeapproach to teaching the students so they havethose skills to be very successul in the world.The division will also continue to use outcomes-

based assessments or report cards.Were not where we want to be yet with that

but we want to continue to work with our teach-ers sta and our parents until we have a nalproduct that everyone eels good about, saidDaverne.There has been good eedback about outcomes-

based assessment in the past. but this new reportcard program also has some challenges with itthat GHSD is working on.

Back in the day you showed up to class, had tomemorize what the teacher gave you and then llout the answers on a test. That is not the kind oemployee that people want these days. Daverne

said employers are looking or creative people,problem solvers that can collaborate with others.The old system o me memorize and know-

ing basically what youre going to ask me beoreI get to the test, thats all gone. Now we need asystem where we are teaching kids and assessingthem on their ability to collaborate and to prob-lem solve and to think creatively and to be able toconnect with others and to be able to use technol-ogy in creative ways, said Daverne.

Thats the new way o teaching and we havespent a huge amount o time changing instruc-tion so we do a better job o those things. Itsrefected in our achievement results as well, ourresults have gone up, every year virtually or thepast decade. So were seeing very good resultswithin our students, but it means that we need toassess them dierently now too.

Telling kids or their parents that they are doingpretty good and Ill give you a 65 just doesntwork anymore. People want to know why theyare doing good or bad and how they can work oncontinuing to improve upon those skills.

We give specic eedback on specic learneroutcomes and parents preer it because its moreinormation. We still have other things that we saytoo, but a letter grade is less important than thatinormation, said Daverne.

Earlier this year the Alberta government an-nounced the approval o unding or the newEast Wheatland K-12 School. An application hasbeen led with the county or re-designation o12 acres o land southeast o the intersection ohighways 561 and 840.

In the meantime, in Three Hills GHSD is work-ing on doing a lot o pre-work beore getting intodesign and modernization o the Prairie ChristianAcademy acility and turning it into K-12.

(To provide a learning environmentthat challenges each student to ulllthe potential o all God-given abilitiesin service to God and community.)Trinity is very excited with their in-

creased enrollment this year. Theschool has seen tremendous growth inthe past two years. The school now hastwo pre-kindergarten classes with 12students enrolled in each class, whichis huge compared to their one class o10 students last year. Mr. Funk is proudto announce the addition o his newlyappointed associate, Principal KristenOdegard.

It is nice to be able to have a ulltime administrator responsible strictlyor Trinity Lutheran, said Funk.With the growth the school was also

able to bring in a new Kindergartenteacher, Trisha Hincks. Administratorsat the school hope they will continue

working towards growth o the schoolin order to minimize the amount o splitgrades that are incorporated into theK-9 Christian School.
