Town council was poised to issue a letter of apology and reimbursement of non-mandatory installed
fire lock boxes after an angered business community
and the lobbying efforts of a local official directed
attention to the confusion and mixed messages of a
requirement to install such devices.
Strathmore businesses felt frustrated and pressured
to install a fire department lock box costing nearly
$500, after the Strathmore Fire Department conducted
a fire safety inspection report in the beginning of May,
and a letter that contained ominous language making
it seem the installation was mandatory and failure to
comply would result in consequences under the Alberta Safety Code.
It was later revealed that the action was not mandatory in certain situations.
At the moment there are many business owners
frustrated, confused, upset, and disappointed to say
the least on the lock box issue, said Councillor Rocky
Blokland, owner of Rockys Bakery. From what I
read from this letter it is definitely mandatory. Without
prejudice the fire department is sending out mixed
messages on the lock box issue and as business owners, they are getting very confused.
First they are mandatory then they are not, and
worst yet there is no clear information coming forward. Its now up to me as a councillor to get involved
with this as a councillor I do listen to the citizens,
taxpayers, and business owners in town.
Regardless of being told installing the fire lock box
was required after Rockys Bakery was inspected
on May 7, Blokland approached town administration where he was informed otherwise. A letter from
the fire department was circulated to all commercial
buildings that stated the property owner is required
to purchase a lockbox device.
Furthermore the letter, which was signed by Strathmore Fire Department Fire Chief Muir Furzer, informed businesses that pursuant to Alberta Fire Code
(AFC) I am advising you that effective immediately, all
occupancies shall install lock box devices in compliance with code requirements outline in section AFC
2.5.1.3.2. It continues saying that failure to comply
may result in the building owner, occupier, or manager being charged under the Alberta Safety Code.
During the Aug. 19 regular town council meeting,
administration contradicted the statement, clarifying
that the requirement is only valid in certain situation, such as when the facilities contain an automatic
sprinkler system, locked access doors to the roof, or a
locked fire alarm system, to name a few.

Pharmacist
Capsule Comments
There has been much in the news lately about
marijuana and whether it truly helps certain medical
conditions. The U.S. government granted permission
to 10 centres to run trials on cannabidiol, a liquid
extract of marijuana that has no psychoactive properties
but may have some anticonvulsant properties for
people with epilepsy. Preliminary results showed a
46% reduction in total seizures. More studies will be
carried out to see if these results are reproducible.
Diabetics who inject insulin are reminded to rotate
their injection sites regularly. Injecting into the same
area all the time can develop fatty scar tissue. Also if
you need more insulin than your pen or syringe can
hold, do two separate injections rather than keeping the
needle in while you measure out the rest of the dose.
Cilia are hair-like structures in the inner ear whose
job it is to convert sound waves into electrical signals
sent to the brain. These hairs are very fragile and can
be damaged irreversibly by continuous loud sounds.
Using ear buds can contribute to this damage if the
volume is too high. You should be able to carry on a
conversation with someone nearby while listening. If
not, its too loud.
Pharmacists and doctors use the term blood
thinners when describing certain drugs like warfarin.
These drugs dont actually thin the blood, but rather
keep harmful clots from forming in the blood vessels.
They do it by blocking the activity of vitamin K in the
body. This vitamin is important in blood clotting.
Sometimes, simple words are used to explain
complex situations. We try to answer your questions
in an easily understood manner. Its our job as your
pharmacist.

In an attempt to demonstrate the
towns efforts in keeping the volunteer
fire fighters and the community safe,
town council was asked to pass a motion that could result in a fire truck to
be housed in Lakewood Meadows and
therefore aid in meeting the theoretical 10-minute response time a decision requested before a public meeting was held and the bylaw passed.
Behr Energy Services provided the
town with a 10-minute response area
map earlier this year, but the results
showed the northern part of Strathmore was left exposed and not meeting provincial standards. The timeframe, which considers deployment
and response time to fires and medical

Its being done ahead of approval
of a second and third reading to allow the developer to note that we
have faith in this process and are prepared to be cooperative as we move
forward, said Councillor Denise Peterson.
I think that there is some need to
put forward a motion in this way so
that the community can see our intention and the future developer can see
that we want to move this agenda forward.
However, Councillor Bob Sobol was
concerned about the wording of the
motion and the repercussions it could
have for council in the future. According to Sobol the motion gave the impression that council was approving a
lease agreement and that if the public
hearing proceeds, then council agreed
upon that bylaw.
I dont know whats in this lease
agreement, I dont know the financial ramifications of this, I dont know
the civic ramifications of this at this
point, said Sobol. I like the idea but
I just feel that Im in a position where
I want some feedback from these firefighters who are not in town right
now. I want to hear some of this discussion and I want to know what this
is going to cost taxpayers. The motion
sounds to me like we are approving a
lease agreement that is made up between the builders and administration
at this point.
After some discussion regarding
these concerns, council approved the
motion that requests council to support in principle the building of an
oversized attached garage designed
to accommodate a fire truck in Lakewood Meadows, subject to the results
of the public hearing second and third
reading of bylaw 15-22, and the lease
agreement between the town and the
owner to be approved at a later date
by council, and that the fire department and the safety codes officer be
involved as the process moves forward.
As previously mentioned the 10
minute response maps and documents our living records that must be
constantly monitored and assessed as
growth occurs, said Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Linda Nelson.
In this way staff will have the ability to constantly update and reassess
the 10 minute response area to ensure
that we are current in our application
in the 10 minute rule as it relates to
building codes. There will be significant operational challenges that will
need to be resolved prior to finalizing
this proposal. We are confident that
continuous research and data gathering will result in a successful continuous process towards enhancing fire
safety within the town of Strathmore.

ing to Parkin, the municipality will overcome the obstacles and most likely turn
to reserves to fill the financial gap.
I think its been an excellent funding source for the municipalities, Parkin said. Its been really good to receive
funding from the province , wed just like
to ensure that theres a little bit more stability to it.
Wheatland County wasnt the only
municipality receiving the disappointing
news. Strathmore was also expecting an
additional $1 million, while Calgary was
informed about an additional $120 million and Edmonton was told they would
receive an additional $80 million top-up.
Unlike the county, however, their budgets are determined at the end of the
year and the actions, therefore, had less
of an impact for the municipalities going
forward.
We had not contemplated additional
spending of this million dollars, and so
the fact that the province said yes there
is an additional million dollars and not
here is not an additional million dollars,
really didnt affect us because we had
already put our plans into effect based
on numbers without this million dollars,
said Mel Tiede, director of corporate services at the Town of Strathmore.
To us its a non-issue for us. Its disappointing from the standpoint that yes
we couldve used another million dollars.
There are things in the town that are a
priority that may not get done now for
another year down the road. But it is
what it is, and we have to live with the
funding that the province has for us.
For now, Wheatland County council is
actively working on arranging a meeting
with the minister in the fall.

Unconventional promises made by
the former government that influenced
Wheatland Countys budget decisions
were revoked at the end of July and
dismissed as an advance rather than
additional funds by the new provincial
government. Staring down a $322,722
capital shortfall the municipality is now
likely forced to dip into reserves.
In a letter from former Progressive
Conservative Minister Diana McQueen
dated March 25, Wheatland County was
informed that a significant additional
funding allocation to the 2014 Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) Capital program was confirmed on March
6. With an additional $398.9 million
planned to be injected into the Alberta
municipalities infrastructure needs and
priorities, the county welcomed the offer
of over $1.5 million as they headed into
their budget process and used the allocated grant funding to prepare their final
budget for 2015, in April. The extra cash
allowed a cushion to fund the paving of
township road 232 which has already
been completed the Gleichen water
treatment with costs of $375,000, the
Rosebud Grader Shop at $383,000, and
Carseland Genset with costs of $10,000.

Rosebud Chef
Kosta Galanos
glad to be back
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Kosta Galanos, former
sous chef in the kitchen of
Rosebuds Haskayne-Kenney
Mercantile, has returned as
Head Chef and Food and
Beverage Manager.
Im ecstatic to be here,
Galanos said. When I finally got the word that it was
all going to work out, I was
tickled pink.
Galanos, known in Strathmore for working in his
familys Little Village Caf,
initially came to Rosebud
in 2011. On the drive out
for his interview, he almost
turned around, convinced he
was lost.
When he arrived, he said,
Im like wow! I would never
have known (it was here)
and look at the size of this
place!
I got thrown into the fire
pretty quick, he said, making 250 canaps for a wedding on his first day. And,
Right from the get-go, it felt
like home.
For two-and-a-half years,
Galanos was Rosebuds sous
chef.
(The sous chef is) the
one who implements everything the chef wants, he
explained. He executes it
and he helps the rest of the
kitchen execute it.
When then-head chef Pat
Murphy went on sabbatical,
Galanos added the role of
head chef to his usual responsibilities.
Then, during the 2014 offseason, Galanos took a leave
of absence, accepting a contract in northern Alberta. But
Rosebud called him back
before his northern contract

Town exploring
options for
emergency situations
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Warnings of tennis ball-sized hail,
winds exceeding 120 km an hour, and
images of funnel clouds twice within
two weeks highlighted the absence of
an emergency warning system currently
available in Strathmore, and compelled
the town staff and council to discuss options on Aug. 19.
A tornado warning was in effect for
Wheatland County and Strathmore on
July 22 and Aug. 5, when several funnel
clouds emerged over the City of Calgary
and near Langdon. Without any way to
publicly warn Strathmore citizens, the
town is now looking at installing a siren or collaborating with telephone service providers to send out messages to
each household or cell phones during an
emergency.
We should have some kind of warning
system, for example if theres a tornado
coming, theres a tornado a few minutes
away, what should we be doing and how
do we notify the public? said Chief Administrative Officer Dwight Stanford. I
think its important that we have some
kind of system. Years ago we used to,
I dont know in town here, but many
towns years ago had sirens on them so
they could warn people. But with the
weather the last year or two, and the
kind of storms were getting, I think its
important that we take a good look at it.
Administration is currently working
together with an expert in emergency
management with the province to find
out the retail cost, installation cost, and
how to use the siren effectively. While
the system would be effective not only
for weather related emergencies, but
other also for situations such as chemical
spills, some councillors were concerned
about how to communicate with the
public properly and avoid panic.
Im curious as to why so many towns
went away from that, said Councillor
Bob Sobol. I suspect, that the reason
that so many towns went away from it,
is that theres simply no message being
given to any of our residents when a siren goes off. And its conceivable that the
call of a siren could actually send people
in the wrong direction than where you
want them to go. At the end of the day is
something better than nothing? The flaw
I see with this siren system is that when
it goes off nobody knows what its for.
Stanford added that if a system was
in place with the communication service providers, the mayor could access
the system and warn residents about the
situation at hand. The siren would then
signal to the community to check their
house phones or cellular devices.
Councillor Pat Fule, who was contacted by a resident through social media about implementing an emergency
warning system in the town, agreed that
the system needs to be straight-forward.
I think following Councillor Sobols
comment, if you were to have a siren system you probably want to limit it so that
people knew that if the siren went off it
was specifically for one type of situation
that they should get more information
about and get to safety, said Councillor
Pat Fule.
I definitely think that itd be confusing if you had too many things associated with the siren.
Administration acknowledged that the
topic had been discussed a couple years
ago and some general information had
been obtained; however, they will work
on gathering more information to bring
back to council.

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
Upon the completion of
last season, Hockey Alberta
did their annual reviews
of each division and came
to the conclusion that they
wanted to have two peewee
double-A teams in each recruitment area.
Wheatland Athletic Association was concerned
because as there is no ice
anywhere in the county
to field a second peewee
double-A team, and it took
two appeals to come to an
agreement with Hockey Alberta to omit them from the
change for one season.
When it comes down to
it, how we went about it and
it was my concern all the
time was sourcing enough
ice in our draw zone, said
Murray Brown, Wheatland
Athletic Associations president. In the west end of
our draw zone, Strathmore
is very fair with ice and it
turned out I couldnt source
no ice in Chestermere or Indus.
After the first appeal was
denied by Hockey Alberta,
Brown decided to bring all
shareholders in from the
draw zone and to go back
to their associations to see
what ice times were available to them, but it was still
not enough for a second
peewee team.
They would have been
heading to the east side
of the county and a lot of
the associations dont allot
for ice until the end of September, said Brown. We
wouldve been in limbo on
where were going to force
this ice until the end of September and my argument,
its too late because all of
our ice times have to be
submitted to the league and
there was just none avail-

and a first hand look at where some players will fit on this years roster.
From what Robinson had seen so far,
there is a good mix of players that could
have the potential of making this team.
Youve got your 16-year-olds, you got
your 21-year-olds and the guys that played
with Strathmore last year, said Robinson.
I think for us trying to build a team this
year, weve talked about from Day 1 that
when I signed on, its respect. Its having a team that can compete night in and
night out. I think this conditioning camp
is a great way to get those kids that you
want to see what their work ethic is like,
see whats its maybe going to be like with
a new head coach and all the responses
I have from the vets, the rookies and the
kids that are getting their first ice time is
that theyre buying in.

Most people who own a home have a credit card. You need it for all kinds of major purchases: a new TV, building a
new deck, maybe even new appliances or better yet, a much needed, well-deserved, yes you earned it, kind of vacation.
Everyone knows that the best thing you can do is pay off the credit card every month. So a few months have gone by and
that credit card balance is still there. Now wait a minute, something else happened to you and your life and that credit
card balance is still there. Time has slipped by and you have been carrying a $15,000 balance on your credit card at 21
per cent interest for months now. No big deal, I will just keep making the minimum payments.
Yes you must make the minimum payments - but it will not get paid off this way. Its not entirely your fault. You make
the some money, have the same expenses, live the same lifestyle, and the lottery is just not working the way it used to.
If you own your own home, consider refinancing. If you are able to to pay off all these credit lines and debts owing how
would that make you feel. If you have a mortgage of $300,000 and you are able to add $15,000 to it and pay it all off at
3 per cent, the savings can be huge and the impact to your life can be substantial in two key ways. First your going to save
money in what you pay in interest. The second and most commonly overlooked piece to this is that
you will reduce your overall payments as well. So not only will you be saving money you will free
up more cash which you can use in any number of ways including paying off your mortgage faster.
Do yourself a favour, review your credit card statements. Go back as far as you have to to the first
month when you started carrying a balance over zero. If that was more than three months ago or
your credit card is at its limit, give me a call youll be glad you did.
