Thousands of outraged Alberta farmers are flocking to town hall meetings across the province and
the steps of the legislature, for a chance to have their
voices heard against a rushed bill that seeks to subject all farming operations to a one-size-fits-all solution.
The Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act would demand ranches and farmers to follow
health and safety regulations, which includes the opportunity for paid workers to join a union, negotiate
wages and benefits, and require operations to protect
their employees under the Workers Compensation
Board a requirement many local small farming operations say would put them out of business.
The legislation also allows Occupational Health and
Safety to inspect Alberta farms and ranches and has
many farmers worried about their day-to-day operations. Alberta farmers argue a small farming operation
should not be treated the same as a large factory.
With the new standards they want in place, WCB
on top of OHS and courses they want you to take,
I couldnt afford it, said small business owner Kim
Betournay, who owns Hoof Prints, a childrens petting zoo.
To put out that cost, I would never recoup it. Not
to mention the insurance I have to pay already to protect myself. That actual insurance that I pay covers me
more than WCB ever would. I dont think its viable
financially. I believe it infringes on our civil rights.
They try to tell us how to run our families and I dont
think thats right.
Alberta, which is the last province in Canada who
would adopt such legislation, fell victim to the uproar,
when the NDP government proposed the legislation
without consulting the farming and ranching community for input and feedback. When Strathmore-Brooks
MLA Derek Fildebrandt travelled to Edmonton for
Question Period, he joined a thousand farmers on the
steps of the legislature protesting the bill. He added
that the Wildrose Alliance Party asked nearly 20 questions pertaining to Bill 6 and received unsatisfactory
responses.
Im not against some changes here, what Im
against is not asking farmers for their opinion on this
farm bill, said Fildebrandt.
Im against treating multi-generational family farms
the exact same as a massive assembly-line factory.
What they are doing here will allow government OHS
employees to go onto family farm yards and homes
without any warning and conduct safety inspections
and even property seizures. They will treat the farm
house the same as a factory, because it does not make
any distinction.

minutes as presented.
Reverend Bryan Beveridge spoke with Council about the Anglican
Church. So far the congregation has spent $60,000 to make the church
safe in order to sell the property. Rev. Beveridge is asking Council to
exercise caution in designating the church a historical site as this could
damage the congregation and the purchaser of the property.
The purchaser is willing to allow for the removal of the church within a
reasonable amount of time.
Council accepted the presentation from Reverend Bryan Beveridge
regarding the Anglican Church for information.
Mr. Bruce Klaiber spoke with Council in regard to the events that
have taken place up until this point with trying to acquire the Anglican
Church. Originally the group had looked for a place for the church to be
moved. The location identified did not work out. It has been indicated
to the historical society that once a historical building has been moved
from its site it loses its historical status. Without historical status the
group would not be able to get grants for the building. The group had
discussed purchasing the church in order to keep its historical status.
Council gave first reading to Bylaw No. 15-30 Land Use Bylaw

Council moved to hold a Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 15-30 on

Council refused the month to month lease agreement between the
Town of Strathmore and the Calgary Cooperative Association Ltd. for a
monthly cost of $1,576.50 per month.
Council directed Administration to negotiate a $1/month lease
agreement for the Calgary Coop Parking Lot with provisions for the Town
to remove the snow and to hold insurance on the property.
Council commissioned a fire services study to ascertain a specific
interpretation of the 10 minute response rule and that the study be
undertaken immediately and completed, if possible, within 90 days and
that the cost of the study not exceed $50,000 with funds to be drawn from
the financial stabilization reserve.
Council approved the proposed street names for Edgefield Phase 2,
as shown on the attached Schedule A.
Council approved the gifts donated to Councillor Sobol and presented

Council extended the Lease Agreement between the Town of
Strathmore and H&H Huxted for a period of ten (10) years, with an option
to renew for an additional ten (10) years based upon the continued
success of the project which the criteria for success will be determined
by Town of Strathmore Administration and H&H Huxted.
Council approved the emergent upgrades to the Air Handling Unit
at the Strathmore Aquatic Centre and employ Associated Engineering
and Convergent Technologies to complete the necessary work for a
project cost of $126,500 plus taxes with funds to be drawn from financial
stabilization.
Council directed administration to utilize funds approved in the

Strathmore
RCMP received a
surprise on Nov.
23, when they
pulled over a
speeding vehicle
and in turn recovered
several
pounds of marijuana and a big
wad of cash.
Authorities
pulled over the
Chevrolet Silverado at 8:40 p.m.
when the driver
sped through a
60 km/hr zone at
speeds of 95 km/
hr traveling east
through
Strathmore on HWY 1.
Highway 1 is
a major corridor
through Alberta,
any drugs that
are going from
B.C. to the rest
of Canada, there
are only a certain amount of
routes they can
travel, said Sgt.
Steve Vince with
the
Strathmore
RCMP. Theres
certainly a lot
of drugs going
down the highway. Being able
to find them is
difficult. So this
time one of our
investigators with
a keen nose was
able to pull some
off the streets.
Upon interactions with the

53-year-old Saskatchewan driver, whose name
has not yet been
released, RCMP
discovered
7.2
lbs of marijuana
as well as more
than $2,500 in
cash money
thats being classified as Proceeds
of Crime and has
been deposited to
the government.
The driver was

arrested for Possession for the

scheduled to appear in Strathmore Provincial
Court on Jan. 5,

With social media and the internet so prevalent

today, there are many ways out there to entice to
you part with your money. One example is the ad
asking you to send strands of your hair for heavy
metal testing. This is not a reliable way to diagnose
heavy metals in the body. Blood tests are the only
reliable ways to determine metal toxicity. Talk to
your doctor if youre concerned.
The human papilloma virus (HPV) can cause
cervical cancer in women. It can also cause
oropharyngeal cancer (throat and mouth) in men and
women. There is a vaccine that can go a long way
of preventing these cancers and is recommended for
girls and it is suggested that boys also receive this
vaccine to prevent cancers of the mouth, throat and
anus. Recommended age is 12 years.
People who suffer from severe allergies can
take heart. There is a new skin patch technology
being researched that looks promising. Its called
epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT). It is hoped
that it will work well with those with peanut allergies
as well as dairy allergies. Research is ongoing.
Wine often is part of holiday celebrations. Check
the wine labels for alcohol content. Its not
uncommon to find wines with more than the usual
11-12% alcoholeven up to 14%. The same can
be true of some beers too. Also, every drink doesnt
have to be alcohol. Try the mix only or a big glass
of water.
There are many remedies for alcohol
overconsumption but the best is sensible
consumption.

Strathmore Municipal Library prepares for Christmas

MIRIAM OSTERMANN

With Christmas fast approaching and in the wake
of last years overwhelming success, the Strathmore
Municipal Library is gearing up for another week of
exciting programs that cater to the towns youngest
residents and seek to bring back some fan favourites.
The introduction of some new initiatives last year
proved popular among many residents, resulting in a
large turnout that sometimes left staff scrambling. This
year, however, the staff is expecting to expand the experience in a more structured way.
Its going to be bright and happy and exciting and
were going to pack the library tight, said Carmen Erison, the assistant to the director of library services.
Bigger and better than last year, more exciting, but
more controlled. We wanted to do this because we
know that the kids are off school between Christmas
and New Year, and the library is typically closed be-
tween that time. This is our last blowout before the

end of the year.
Back by popular demand, the library will be featuring Ginger All the Way, which made its debut last year.
As 50 participants showed up last year, the program
will run in three separate sessions this year, each accommodating 15 participants. While the program was
free last year, it left a sizable hole in the budget that
now means participants will pay a $5 fee. However, the
library provides all supplies, including the gingerbread
train, icing and the candy.
Last year was our first time running this program,
said Erison. We couldnt have anticipated that big of a
response, so this year were looking to do it a little bit
more smarter and a little bit more organized. We think
its going to be a spectacular event.
The library is also bringing back the Holiday Makeshop program, which is based on Makerspaces. Children will be provided with numerous crafts and create
Christmas gifts or items. This program is free to attend
and requires no registration.

Then on Dec. 23, two family Christmas films will be
showcased during Merry and Bright Movies. The event
will offer complimentary hot chocolate and popcorn
and is free for all ages. For more details and movie
titles visit www.strathmorelibrary.ca or visit the Strathmore Municipal Library Facebook page.
The library asks that children under the age of six
be accompanied by an adult. Registration for Ginger
all the Way will run from Dec. 1-15 with 45 spots available. The event on Dec. 21 has sessions scheduled
from 11 a.m. until noon, 1 p.m. until 2 p.m., and 3 p.m.
until 4 p.m. Holiday Makeshop will take place on Dec.
22 from 1-3, no registration necessary and free to attend. On Dec. 23, from 10:30 a.m. to noon the Merry
and Bright Movies event will feature a family movie
rated G, and in the afternoon from 1 p.m until 2:30
p.m. offer a movie rated PG.
The library will be closed for Christmas break from
Dec. 24 until Jan. 4.
Future of historical Anglican Church up in air

MIRIAM OSTERMANN

Actions surrounding the fate of a
105-year-old historical building are at
a standstill, with an offer accepted on
the land that requires the removal of the
structure, which in turn results in loss
of funding.
The Western and District Historical Society purchased the St. Michaels and All
Angels Anglican Church earlier this year
for a mere $1, after the congregation was
facing $60,000 in environmental studies,
remediation, and air monitoring. During
an earlier congregational meeting, it was
decided that a new building and a new
space would be sought and the former
space be put up for sale. The Western
and District Historical Society welcomed
the offer to restore the building for their
own purpose and originally planned on
moving the building to a remote loca-
tion, and then planned on moving it to a

section of Lambert Park, which was met
with hostility by surrounding residents.
Upon being informed that moving the
building may cause it to lose most if not
all of its historical value with the provincial government, which would translate
into lost funds to restore the building,
the society is now hoping to keep the
structure on is original site and come
to an agreement with the new owner
of the six lots, whose offer has been accepted.
On behalf of the congregation, the
old building was offered to the historical society for $1, said Pastor and Priest
Bryan Beveridge. On at least three occasions I had conversations with members
of the historical society and that verbal
offer was accepted in all cases in fact
they were grateful for what they called
our generous offer. The removal of the
old church building was and is crucial

agreement the church building must be

The society was the recipient of a
$5,000 prize earlier this year at the second annual Lets Make a Pitch event to
aid in moving the church off its current
location. As the building requires extensive repairs, the society is hoping to
work with the buyer and the congregation and still be a candidate for provincial restoration funding.

Dare to Dream Horse Rescue, located in Dalemead, relies entirely on the
manpower of nearly 150 volunteers. As
a result, the operation offers children
an opportunity to learn about horses,
provides university students with the
hours around large animals required
to get into veterinary school, and even
offers a special horse therapy program
for sexually abused and exploited girls.
However, if Bill 6 is implemented early
next year, Dare to Dream Horse Rescue, much like most rescues, wont be
able to continue to provide their services.
None of us horse rescues could stay
open because all of us are in the same
boat, and the horses that we would
normally be able to save would have
to go to slaughter because there is nowhere else for them to go, said Brenda
Fehr, co-owner of Dare to Dream Horse
Rescue.
A lot of what Im seeing, is that they
dont even understand how farms work,
and what safety things are in place.
Theyre grouping it all in one thing and
expecting everyone to abide by those
rules and those rules dont necessarily
apply to everything. In all honesty, any
farm and horse rescue, safety is number
one concern. We have very strict rules
here but they could be putting rules on

its historic significance, said Bruce

Klaiber with WDHS. To us, the importance of that was we would no longer
qualify for provincial restoration grants
or at least we wouldnt qualify for nearly the significant amount that we would
if the building remained on its original
site. So our focus then turned from one
of moving the building to leaving the
building where it is and purchasing it
there.
Rev. Beveridge assured council during
the regular council meeting on Nov. 17
that correspondence with the buyer has
been established and will be brought to
the next congregational meeting.

or meet the OHS standards.
According to Fildebrandt, the NDP is
not holding a town hall meeting in the
Strathmore-Brooks constituency, and
after his phone rang off the hook for
the past week, he organized a town hall
meeting in Bassano to hear farmer and
ranchers concerns regarding the bill
some issues which include not allowing your children to participate in daily
chores.
We all support farm safety and I
personally support some update of the
laws, but nobody cares more about
farm safety than the moms and dads of
rural Alberta, he said. This is a fight
that we dont want, but we will take
very seriously until the government listens. You dont introduce an ominous
piece of legislature without talking to
the people that it affects first. The NDP
have underestimated rural Alberta and
have lit a prairie fire.
The Wildrose Alliance Party is asking the government to send the bill to
a committee and consult with farmers.
The town hall meeting is taking place
on Dec. 5, at the Bassano School Gymnasium at 2 p.m.
Bill 6 should consult

farmers first
DEREK FILDEBRANDT
Strathmore-Brooks MLA

The NDP government recently introduced Bill
6, dealing with safety and labour issues on farms.
The bill has in a very short period of time attracted considerable attention from concerned farmers
and ranchers.
My offices in Strathmore, Brooks and Edmonton have been flooded by hundreds of calls and
e-mails from farmers and ranchers who have not
been consulted about the bill. My Facebook page
has had dozens and dozens of posts on it from
people in Wheatland County and Newell County
trying to make their voices heard, but who are being ignored by the government as they try to ram
Bill 6 through the legislature without consulting
them first.
On the surface, Bill 6 tries to update our farm
safety regulations something that is welcome,
especially for larger operations but does so in
a way entirely ignorant of agriculture, rural traditions and the reality of the family farm. It amends
or repeals no less than seven codes, acts, and regulations, and represents a basic change to how
farmers are allowed to do business.
Nobody objects to farm safety least of all the
men and women who run them but Bill 6 has
consequences that go well beyond safety.
The bill removes the distinction between family farms and other businesses. It treats a small
family farm the same as a large corporate-owned
farm, or even a factory assembly line. This means
that farmers must follow government guidelines
before they allow their children to do any work
on the farms or in their homes. It also means that
government OHS inspectors will be able to enter
farmyards and homes without notice, and search
and seize property without a warrant.
The bill also deals with labour issues, allowing
for the unionization of farms without the owners
consent, as if a farm were a large factory. The agriculture ministers background as a paid union
organizer raises serious questions about the real
intent of Bill 6.
The addition of mandatory WCB coverage is effectively a 2-3 per cent tax on most payrolls. These
Have you

Christmas
party yet?
Pass the Salt
changes come on top of a new, $3 billion carbon

tax, which is sure to have a negative effect on
farmers who will pay more, especially to get products to market.
The worst part however, is that these changes
are being rammed through the legislature without consulting farmers first. A token show is being
made of public consultations after Bill 6 was written and tabled in the legislature.
These town halls are more town-tells, where
bureaucrats have been sent to explain the legislation to farmers and ranchers, but not to solicit real
feedback from them about what the legislation
should actually look like. Further, only a handful of these town halls are being held across the
entire province, with seating limited far below the
demand to attend them.
Here in Strathmore-Brooks, my phones have
been ringing off the wall from farmers and ranchers who just want to be listened to and consulted,
but the NDP has refused to hold a single session
in our constituency despite being one of the most
agriculture-intensive constituencies in Canada.
As such, Ive booked the Bassano School Gymnasium (240, 6th Ave, Bassano) for Saturday, Dec.
5 at 2 p.m. for an emergency Bill 6 town hall meeting. I encourage all farmers, ranchers and other
constituents affected by Bill 6 to come out and tell
me what you want me to advocate for in Edmonton. This is your chance to gather together and tell
me what parts of Bill 6 are reasonable and acceptable, and what parts need to be improved.
The Wildrose Opposition represents most of
rural Alberta, and a large number of our caucus
members are farmers and ranchers. We get rural
Alberta. Thats why we havent done the easy thing
and rubber-stamped this bill despite its near universal endorsement from provincial media outlets
and labour union groups when it was introduced.
You sent me to the legislature to represent you
to Edmonton, and not Edmonton to you. To do
that effectively, please join me on Dec. 5 in Bassano and tell me what message I should carry back
with me.

and Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.)
JESUS THE SAVIOR

There was a former drunkard
who got converted to Christianity. He believed in Jesus and
reformed his life. One day another
man met him and asked him, I
heard that you got converted to
Christianity.
You know anything about
Jesus? The drunkard said, Not
much.
Do you know where he was
born? The drunkard replied, No
sir, I dont know.
Do you know how many parables he preached?
The drunkard again replied, No.
Do you know how many miracles he worked?
The drunkard again expressed his
ignorance.
Do you know, at least, how many
gospels are there in the Bible?
The drunkard said, I dont know.
Then the man said, For being a
new convert, you know nothing
about Jesus. It is useless.
Then the drunkard said, Sir, I am
really sorry that I am ignorant of
many things about Jesus. I am
ashamed of it, but one thing I am
sure. Six months back I was a
great sinner. I was a drunkard.
My family was in shambles. My
wife and children used to dread

it is enough for us. That we are

No mans words or deeds are

Jesus Christs. We are saved

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Think about the future of farms

To the Editor
Im 21 years old and I will
be the fourth generation to
run our mixed grain and cattle
family farm, located south of
Drumheller near Dalum. Im
very concerned over Bill 6.
As a family farm, we rely on
everyone in our family to help
out on a daily basis, and especially during the busy seasons.
Not only do we help our own
family out, but we also help

other members of the community when times get tough
or the weather is changing. I
believe that Bill 6 would not
only drastically change the
daily operations of the family farm, but it would also alter the make-up of all the tiny
communities across Alberta
that are brought together
and remain strong because

of farming. These communities

were brought to existence by our
farming ancestors and it would be
shame to see them ripped apart
by our government.
While I know first-hand that
farms are not the safest places, I
dont believe that OHS and WCB
will make a difference on the safe
practices already in place across
farms today. As a child growing
up on the farm, I learned firsthand the daily operations, as well
as dangers, by experiencing them;
not by reading about them in a
book, or on a computer screen.
I learned how to provide care
and nurture growing and sick
animals from a very young age. I
learned how to maintain and service machinery by following my

father and grandfather around
during seeding and harvest.
I learned what the dangers were
in every situation, and that has
kept me safe to this day. I want
my children to experience growing up and learning on the farm
just as I did. I do not want them to
have to stay in the house because
the government said that riding in
the tractor was dangerous or that
riding on an old dependable horse
might get them hurt. The fact is
that there are dangers everywhere
you look in our daily lives ... be
it riding in a vehicle, crossing the
street, or flying in an airplane. I
do not believe, however, that government regulation on the farm

will keep us safe.
In my opinion, Bill 6 is going
to tear the agricultural industry of
Alberta apart. Farming and ranching is hard enough on an average day, never mind when the
government gets involved to add
more paperwork, more headache,
and more stress. I encourage you
to think about the future. The future of our province, the future of
our family farms and ranches, and
the future of our economy.

Global Climate Conference will create misery

To the Editor
Most people are aware of the well publicized terrorist attack that killed over 100 ordinary people in
Paris on Nov. 13.
I contend that a much larger terrorist attack is happened in Paris on Nov. 30 that has the potential to kill
or create misery for most of the residents of planet
earth.
The meeting of over 150 world leaders for the Global Climate Conference will result in nothing more than
onerous taxation and augmented government control
that historically has caused far more death and destruction than any possible change that human actions are responsible.
If you are skeptical of my statement, then simply
look at the recent actions of Ms. Notley and her merry
band of NDPers with their new three billion dollars
worth of taxation!
Turn off your TVs people! All the tactics of propaganda are at hard work in our society and it is to our
detriment! The press has virtually ignored or shouted
down those who try to provide balance to the issue.
For a little different perspective on the issue I would
ask you to go to youtube and listen to presentations
by none other than one of Greenpeaces founders, Dr.
Patrick Moore or career climatologists like Dr. Tim
Ball. Better yet, go outside your home and look at the
vastness that surrounds you and ponder the idea that
we could warm all of this up if we just let our cars
idle. Send all the hate mail you want, but I believe
that we have lost the ability to grasp just how small
we really are in the Grand Scheme of Things!
No matter what government we have had, one thing
is constant and that is deficits and spending! Deficits
are postponed taxation and governments love to find
new ways to pillage the citizenry and what better way
than the fear of something that is unprovable? History tells me that the growth of government power
is to be feared far more than whatever excuse it conjures up to motivate people to fear. Benjamin Franklin
once posited that Those who would give up essential
liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve
neither liberty nor safety.
I fear for our grandchildren! I leave you with a
quote:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating
it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie
can be maintained only for such time as the State can
shield the people from the political, economic and/
or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes
vitally important for the State to use all of its powers
to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of
the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest
enemy of the State. Joseph Goebbels (Propoganda
Minister)

Food shortage at Christmas Hamper

Society Chairperson

The Strathmore and Wheatland County Christmas Hamper Society is up and running
for Christmas 2015. We are
the same organization but
with a new name one that
we feel reflects the fact that
we cover not only the Town
of Strathmore but the surrounding villages and rural
area.
We are an organization that
runs strictly on volunteers,
along with help from the

Wheatland and the Strathmore FCSS offices.
We have fabulous volunteers who are busy screening,
picking up donations from
schools, etc., emptying bins,
sorting toys and personal
items, and working with food
donations.
So far this season donations are down, especially
food, and applicants are up.
We are all aware of the downturn in our economy. It is affecting all of us. There are
many organizations asking
for donations and we hope
that the Christmas Hamper will be part

of yours.
Every donation of food, gifts or cash
enables us to help local people have
a wonderful Christmas, for children to
receive gifts and to put food on their
table.
Lets not forget our local community!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Preservation of the Strathmore building that was previously an Anglican church

To the Editor
To say that Im distressed by
what is happening regarding the
Strathmore building that was previously an Anglican church is an
understatement.
I voted in the meeting in which
the congregation accepted that
keeping the church building
functional was not a good use
of church resources. The people
with long years of relation to the
church building voted unanimously to give up the church building.
Was there support for having the
building preserved and happiness
when the Historic Society wanted
the building for their historic area?
Yes.
However, is the Historic Society
and Strathmore Council acting in
the best interest of anybody by getting a historic designation put on
the church building in its current
location? Preserving the church
building where it is follows from
rejection of other options and also
from recognizing that the Historic
Society may be able to get provincial money by in situ preservation.
Im reacting having credentials
and experience. My PHD is from
Cornell with a minor in urban and
regional planning. The important
part of my experience comes from

over 20 years with Parks Canada as
the person responsible for overseeing socio-economic considerations
regarding proposals to spend taxpayer money (see my resume and
an extended version of this document at http://auctorresearch.net).
At Parks Canada, I repeatedly
saw proponents for spending public money argue in general terms.
Some actions occurred and I saw
negative impacts of ill planed actions. Social impact on the local residents and on Strathmore
downtown needs to be rigorously
considered prior to action on in
situ preservation of the Anglican
church building. Strathmore can
end up living with and paying for
a bad decision being made.
Spending money on the assumption that good impacts will occur
when important ones wont and
bad impacts will occur is bad social and economic planning. Making the church building useful at
its present location will likely cost
at least $200,000, probably a lot
more.
Maintaining and operating it in
perpetuity, thats what historic designation would imply, is not free.
Might use of the building have a
payback? Yes, but what should

the town allow to be done in a
preserved church building that
is hidden away off main downtown roads back behind the Legion? Moving the building to the
NW corner across from the Legion might do something good for
downtown. However, careful analysis is needed to know if such a
move has benefits worth the cost?
If I were advising the town regarding preserving the Anglican
church building, Id certainly not
be advising council to ask/demand
that the purchaser of the property,
the seller and the Historic Society
negotiate about in situ preservation. Lets be clear. The idea that
keeping the church building in situ
contributes to helping preserve
downtown Strathmore is at best
misguided. What support exists
for in situ preservation will almost
certainly dissolve if Strathmore
taxpayers get a clear idea of costs
and benefits.
Given what Ive stated above,
you may be surprised to know that
Id like to see the Anglican church
building preserved. My caveat is
that a plan for keeping the building
makes economic and social sense.
The Historic Society, or some other
organization, needs to make a

case for having the building at
some location in Strathmore
being worth the cost of having
there. I do not believe a sound
socio-economic case can be
made for in situ preservation.
In this regard, part of the cost
is any money obtained from
the province. If preserving the
building is not worth Strathmore paying, preserving is not
worth Albertas or Canadas
taxpayers picking up the tab.
Im not using Church
because the Anglican church
building has been decommissioned. The building is not an

Anglican Church.
I started this document as
something to go to a Strathmore paper. What is written is
not authorized or approved by
the Anglican priest or Church
Council. This document expresses the thoughts and feels
of the author and should not
be construed as presenting the
views of any other person.

Concerns with Bill 6

To the Editor
I just finished a phone call with the Alberta government pertaining to Bill 6. I was motivated to call after
learning about the Town Hall Session in Okotoks on
Wednesday, Dec. 2. Preregistration was encouraged;
however, all spaces have already been booked. Two
hundred to three hundred spaces were made for Farmers, Ranchers and their workers in the Calgary area.
Many more people than that are impacted by this proposed legislation in this area.
I contacted Minister Lori Sigurdssons office (780638-9400) indicating my concerns and expressing the
need for the process to be slowed down, the need for
more consultation, etc. In the follow-up conversation, I
received the best information to date on the proposed
legislation. The communication, information available
and process thus far is messed up leading to a lot of
frenzied, partially informed reaction in social media
and print media. We are uninformed because the information we need to make an informed decision is
not available.
What I learned:
If the Bill passes on Jan 1, the exemption for
Farms, Ranches & Farm Workers is lifted for OHS and
WCB. Also, in the spring 2016: Employment Standards
Code will be amended along with Labour Relations
Code amended.
Specific legislation has not been drafted (this is
why letters, e-mails & phone calls need to be made to
inform those that draft the details know what is important to farmers, ranchers and their workers and why).
Special sections are included in current legislation
(e.g. Mining & Construction).
This type of a special section still needs to be written for Farms, Ranches & Farm Workers. The current
plan is to have this in place by Spring 2017 (remember
plans can change).
A consultation process is to be put in place across
the province to create the Alberta answer. We are apparently the last province to address this Health &
Safety concerns.
The current government put forward what the previous government had in their plans perhaps without
verifying that the consultation process was complete.
I heard that consultations may have just taken place

with big business. Not really the people impacted as
dramatically by the proposed legislation.
Labour Minister Lori Sigurdsson & the civil servants in her Ministry do want to hear from about our
concerns.
Some things are out of order (stuff that happens
when you are learning the ropes); however, there as
I understand it there is still time and opportunity to
influence how this legislation is shaped.
My suggestions:
1) Please phone to get your name on a list, to express your concerns and be part of the process.
2) Contact the Premier and the Ministers Offices by
letter, e-mail or phone call indicating your disappointment in the process and the communication thus far.
3) Remember, your involvement doesnt end with
your vote. Politicians dont know what we are thinking
unless we advise them.
I was told they are getting a number of calls. Now
is an important time to help change a direction that
could dramatically impact rural family lives. If you are
concerned, use your voice with the people that can
make a difference and be a part of the solution.

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

Aspen Crossing dedicated
the inaugural Alberta Ride
of the Polar Express to cancer patient Jace Hurum and
53 other kids who have either survived or battling the
disease to lift their spirits by
boarding the magical train.
The kids and their families
had a chance to experience
Aspen Crossing staff members and actors re-enact the
Warner Bros movie, while
enjoying hot chocolate and
cookies on the trek to the
North Pole and at the end
of the line, Santa climbed
aboard.
Hurum was diagnosed with
crangiopharyngioma, a brain
tumour of the pituitary gland,
around Christmas last year.
For his father Justin, there
was nothing more that he and
his wife Jody wanted than to
see their son enjoy the holiday festivities this year.
Its a wonderful experience, he said. They put on
a great show here. The boys
enjoyed it big time and its
a great way for us to start
our Christmas this year after
Christmas last year.
Justin and Jody got in touch
with Sick Kids and everything
went according to plan.
They have seen improvement in Jaces progress and
take it day-by-day without
worrying about the little obstacles.

Kids Cancer Centre Communications Manager, Gail
Corbett, was astounded by
the turn out and the job Aspen Crossing did in lifting the
holiday spirits of children affected by cancer.
I think for these kids that
have been through so much,
to be able to have a little
piece of magic, I think its everything to lift their spirits,
said Corbett. To give them
a little taste of normal childhood, which is one of the
things that Kids Cancer Care
tries to do is give families the
chance to have a community where they can be with
each other and support each
other. But also just to go out
and have some fun because
theyre not having a lot of fun
while on treatment and they
need a break sometimes.
Aspen Crossing owner Jason Thornhill was touched as
the night went along.
We think that probably
most of these kids hadnt
been on a train, said Thornhill. It was a great opportunity for everybody and it was
nice for us to be a part of it
and getting the recognition
out of it, its nice. And to see
all those smiling faces, it hits
the heart strings.
He added that an event like
this could take place annually.

Strathmore RCMP continue to have
their search and rescue teams in the air
and on the ground in hopes of locating
a Strathmore man who went missing
over a week ago.
Forty-one-year-old Michael Ully was
last seen by his family on Nov. 22, and
has not been back to his home or place
of work since. Then, several days later,
on Nov. 25, RCMP recovered a 2014
black Dodge Ram near Carseland that
was registered to Ully.
We had search and rescue out yesterday, and RCMP air services is out
today, said Sgt. Steve Vince, with the
Strathmore RCMP, on Nov. 30. We do
not suspect foul play at all. We had no
new information come to light.
Ully is described as 6 tall with
blonde hair and blue eyes. He weighs
220 lbs and was last seen wearing a
black sweatshirt and blue jeans. The
Strathmore RCMP are seeking assistance from the public in locating Ully,
and ask anyone who has seen Ully, or
has information regarding his whereabouts to contact the RCMP detachment at 403-934-3968 or 403-934-3535
or Crimestoppers.

Spartans take home

provincial bronze
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Strathmore Spartans senior boys
volleyball team ended off what was a
strong season, earning the bronze medal in straight sets (25-16, 25-20) over the
Louis St. Laurent Barons in what was a
very tough provincial tournament last
week in Grande Prairie.
We had to go in prepared to compete for every point, said head coach
Cole Hintz. The teams we were playing
were just that much better compared to
some of the tournaments weve seen
this year. It was an exhausting journey
all weekend long.
He said that every match they played,
the team prepared to be mentally focused and made the right adjustments
to what the other teams were doing to
try and limit some of their strengths.
Hintz enjoyed seeing the work the
boys put in the last three years together
paying off in building the program to
competing at a provincial level.
Some of these guys, it wasnt just a
come in and work for one year kind
of thing, said Hintz. Its something

they put in the time in for the last three
years. They always had the desire and
ability to work hard. As they played
more and more together as time went
on they became better volleyball players.
We had a lot of really good athletes
who relatively had limited volleyball
experience than some of these other
players.
Graduating left side Matthew Cool
said the team opened up the tournament with a poor performance but
their ability to rally back and take third
place was the thing he was most happy
about.
To experience it with our team was
just great, he said. We gelled more,
had better communication and just
played together as a unit better.
We had better setting by our setter
Dion and our passing was pretty good.
Just an overall good performance.
He added that to cap off his Strathmore High School athletics career with
a medal in his favourite sport was
amazing.

Bisons gain valuable

divisional points
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The CFR Bisons picked up crucial
early season interdivisional victories over some skilled teams in the
Calgary NWCAA Flames and the
Calgary Buffaloes by identical 4-2
this past weekend at the Strathmore
Family Centre.
We laid it out as the biggest weekend for us as far as where we are
in the standings, said Bisons head
coach Sandy Henry. And how much
it would get us some security in the
standings as far as moving up a little
bit. I think the boys responded real
well. Our effort level was outstanding every game. We just dont back
down from anything anymore, we
come out and go at it.
Henry said what made the difference in both wins was the consistent starts the team has been having right out of the gate and getting
their game plan down early in the
contests.
I thought we took it to both teams
right off face off number one, and
showed them that were going to be
hard to play against, said Henry.
We had 10 real good minutes in the
first period to start with today (Sunday versus the Flames). I thought
they gained a little bit of momentum
maybe through the last 10 minutes.

Then I thought in the second we
got going again. Were getting close
to that 60 minute effort every night
and that gives us a chance to win
every night.
The Bisons had a lot of puck possession in the game against the
Flames, which Henry thought was a
strong point in knocking off the division leader.
We had the puck more than they
did, he said. When you have the
puck, their guys are ineffective. I
thought our defense gapped up well.
We didnt let too much pressure get
deep in our zone. As a team I think
we locked up the middle of the ice
in our zone pretty good. The third
part of that was our goaltender was
outstanding.
Zach Cox, Gary Haden, Quaid McBean and Kyle Gordon scored in the
win over the Buffaloes.
Gordon notched two goals, while
Tanner Foster and Matthew Davies
scored one each in the victory over
the Flames.
The Bisons who currently is in
third place in the South Division
will be back on home ice on Dec. 5
when they host the Leduc Oil Kings
at 5:15 p.m., before taking on the
MLAC Beverly Optimists on Dec. 6

Nwoye, T-birds national champs

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The UBC Thunderbirds won the Vanier Cup over the University of Montreal
Carabins 26-23 in Quebec City on Nov.
28.
It was Strathmores Charles Nwoyes
first year playing football and for him
the ride was unforgettable.
It feels good, said Nwoye. I never
expected coming here and winning
in my first year. Everyone thought we
were the underdogs right from the beginning. Our very first game, we played
Laval, which at that time was the number one seed in the country and we
beat them pretty soundly.
After that moment, we had that confidence we could take anyone in the
country out and it was the confidence
we had as a group that helped us overcome that underdog label.
UBCs kicker Quinn van Gylswyk,
who was awarded the top punter award
by the CIS, had missed a kick prior to
letting Montreal back in the game to tie
it; Nwoye thought he would rebound
with no time left on the clock to win
the championship.
We had faith in him, said Nwoye.
The very first one, our holder fumbled
the ball, (it) wasnt really a knock on
Quinn. When he stepped up to kick
that field goal we really had no doubt
that he was going to make it.
Nwoye thought the atmosphere leading up to the 51st Vanier Cup was unforgettable as they bused from the
Uteck Bowl win a week prior in Nova
Scotia to Quebec City.
It was a great experience, said

First year UBC Thunderbird Defensive Lineman Charles Nwoye ended off
his inaugural year in the sport as a national champion as the his team won
the Vanier Cup last Saturday in Quebec City.
Nwoye. It was the nicest hotel Ive ever stayed in to be

honest. We had media following us 24/7 all week and at
practices, getting interviews.
I just felt like a pro player.

He added that he had the

SHS awards fall athletes

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

For many of the graduating
players it was one last chance
to be rewarded for their hard
work and dedication to their
school sport, while for others
it was a chance to be recognized for their tremendous
improvement made over the
course of the season at the
Strathmore Spartans fall athletic banquet on Dec. 1.
It was pretty sweet, said
Maria Fanning, who won the
MVP award in her last year
on the cross-country team.
She said the most noticeable improvement she made
from starting her career at
the Strathmore High School
until now was being eager to
go out and beat everyone to
playing more a support role
to her teammates this year.

My Grade 12 year was my
best running year, I got the
best running time, said Fanning.
She will always remember
her teammate Ann Smeyers
beating her to the finish line
this year being the highlight
of the year.
When Ann beat me, said
Fanning. At the very end
she beat me and thats when
I knew she trained so hard
and she came up to me and
gave me a big hug and said I
beat you finally. I was just so
happy for her.
Fanning would always carry in the back of her mind
going into racess what her
coaches Jerry Flaws and Paul
Sonsteby said to her about
never giving up and finish
the races despite it being

hard physically and mentally.

Flaws said her consistency of
getting better over the three years
and being naturally motivated is
what gave her success in running
through those tough courses.
The never give up is the good
part, said Flaws. Even if she has
a bad race, she shook it off real
quick and got ready for whatever
is coming next.

the night saw Gunnar Raycroft
also taking home the MVP honours, Ann Smeyers took home

Sammons earned the Spartan
Pride award.
Ayden Fisk was honoured to
win the Most Improved Player

sport and credits coach Darrel
Hargrove for helping his overall
game.

the team, said Fisk. Everyone

else on the team was really fun.
It worked out.
Being the Libero, he said his
passing got better and it became
easier when he got a feel for the
game.
Hargrove remembers when
Fisk first came in , he was being
timid and shy but as the season
progressed there was something
that let him know that he wanted
to improve.
There was no stopping him,
said Hargrove. He basically
battled through everything he
did and just took everything in
stride. Any sort of drill, technique or motion, he practiced it
not just during the drills but even
so afterwards on his own.

Kings use transition game

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Wheatland Kings started their four-game
home stand on the right foot as they outplayed
the visiting Stettler Lightning with a 5-2 win on
Nov. 28.
The game proved to be physically competitive,
pushing the Kings to engage more often and take
initiative.
I think were learning how to play against teams
that in previous years would try and take advantage of us, said Kings head coach Emilio Fuoco.
Its a learning process for us and were starting to
do a lot better than we have in the past.
Fuoco thought their neutral zone play was the
strongest part of the teams game, and as result,
the team was able to turn over more pucks to create chances in the offensive zone.
It was sort of a twofold, he said. We paid more
attention to details in the neutral zone which allowed us to create more opportunities in odd man
advantages. It was really starting to understand

how we want to play as a team within our systems.
He added that he liked how the defense have
jumped up in the play recently, and preached to
his team to have five attacking and five defending
on the ice.
It was really good to see the guys control the
gaps on defensive side and have their opportunities to move the puck up the ice, said Fuoco.
Kaleb Robinson, Kristian Ayoungman, Jacen
Bracko, Zachary Meadows and Brendan Moore
supplied the offence in the win.
The Kings will have three games straight at
home this weekend starting with Medicine Hat on
Dec. 4 (8 p.m.). Blackfalds will roll into town on
Dec. 5 with puck drop at 8:15 p.m., while Three
Hills will be here on Dec. 6 at 7 p.m.
There will be events going on at the games including a Santa appearance, minor hockey and
ringette teams playing at intermissions and the
high school band performing throughout a game.
Chiefs show no signs of rust

JUSTIN SEWARD

It had been three weeks since the Wheatland
Chiefs had seen the ice but the boys didnt seem
to lose a stride last weekend as they came out
with a 7-1 win over Okotoks on Nov. 28 and a
4-1 win over Red Deer on Nov. 29, leaving head
coach Shadoe Stoodley quite pleased with the
outcomes.
It was hard to say what was going to happen
after three weeks off, said Stoodley. Some guys
can jump out flat-footed and really not ready to
play. But right off the hop in Okotoks on the first
shift they were good, they came out strong and
had a lot of energy and went all out.
Stoodley added that in Okotoks, special teams
were key factors in the victory as they were able
take advantage of their opportunities.
We had a couple power play goals that were
big, he said. We had a 5-on-3 goal that was our
first goal and then in the second we got a couple
back to back (and) a couple of empty netters at
the end to win 7-1.
Chase Hnatowich led the way with a hat trick,
while Brad Hendricks, Kody Hammond, Ryan
Skytt and Lucas Muenchrath rounded out the
scoring against Okotoks.
Stoodley thought the scoring was more spread
out in Red Deer but said the team worked hard

right from the start and had a lot of opportunities
to score.
We scored when we really needed to, said
Stoodley. Right from (Saturday) to (Sunday) there
were 120 minutes of solid play.
There were a couple of lapses where we took
a shift off, but it long run they battled right from
the start.
Skytt notched two goals, while Hammond and
Chris Rebeyka scored one each in Red Deer.
The local midget double- A team will host the
Bow Valley Timeberwolves on Dec. 6 in Hussar
at 3 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Wheatland Warriors split their
weekend games, starting with a 7-0 shutout home
win on Nov. 28 before being edged by Okotoks
on the road 3-2 the following day.
Max Schafer tallied two goals, while Brandon
Kasdorf, Keith Yellowfly, Kyle Bray and Ben Kruse
scored in the win against Olds.
In Okotoks, Kruse and Max Kathol scored in
the loss.
The local double-A bantam team will play the
Airdrie Lightning at the Strathmore Family Centre
on Dec. 6 at 6:15 p.m.
The Wheatland Braves will resume play against
the Medicine Hat Hounds on Dec. 5 in Hussar at
7:30 p.m.
