Mask bylaw passes
first reading
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Masks are not mandatory by law anywhere in
Strathmore, but town council has made the first
step towards establishing a face covering bylaw
that could be enacted if necessary.
Town council passed first reading of a proposed
face covering bylaw during its regular meeting on
Sept. 16. The motion passed 4-3, with Mayor Pat
Fule, Deputy Mayor Denise Peterson, and Council-
lors Bob Sobol and Melanie Corbiell voting in sup-
port, while Councillors Lorraine Bauer, Tari Cockx
and Jason Montgomery voting in opposition.
The World Health Organization, Chief Public
Health Officer for Canada and the Chief Medical
Officer of Health for Alberta have stated face cov-
erings reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 in
situations where physical distancing may not be
possible.
The town’s procedure bylaw requires that ev-
ery proposed bylaw requires three separate and
distinct readings before coming into law. Thus,
to come into effect, the bylaw would have to be
brought back to council for second and third
readings and passed through respective votes by
council (with third reading requiring unanimous
consent).
“It’s a pending thing; it’s there for us, should
we need to enact it quickly based on the cases in
town,” said Fule during the meeting. “I just want
to reassure the public that’s basically all we’re do-
ing here tonight – to get something set up should
the need arise.”
The bylaw will return to the council’s commit-
tee of the whole meeting to receive additional re-
search and information, said Geoff Person, Town
of Strathmore communications strategist.
Passing a face covering bylaw is within the
town’s authority. Under the provincial Municipal
Government Act, a town council may pass bylaws
respecting the safety, health and welfare of people
and the protection of people and property, people
in, on or near a public place or place that is open
to the public, and businesses or business activi-
ties.
If enacted, the bylaw would require the wear-
ing of face coverings in indoor public premises
and vehicles (e.g. taxis, etc.), unless people are
separated from each other by an installed screen,
shield or other barrier. Face coverings are defined
as a mask or other face covering that covers the
mouth, nose and chin, creating a barrier to the
transmission of infectious respiratory droplets.
Anyone found not wearing a mask or covering in
a public place or vehicle would be subject to a
$100 fine.
There would be exceptions to this rule, how-
ever. Children under two years of age, those with
medical conditions or disabilities limiting their
ability to wear a mask, those unable to use a mask
safely without assistance, and those who are pro-
viding care to a person with a disability where a
facemask could impede care provision would all
be exempt. Also, people engaging in an athletic or
fitness activity, or who have temporarily removed
their mask to provide or receive a service would
also be exempt.
Furthermore, the mask requirement would not
be in effect for establishments, such as schools or
businesses, already with face covering measures
in place through provincial guidelines, corporate
requirements or provincial professional bodies,

The bylaw would also require employers, opera- Strathmore, AB
tors or proprietors to prominently display a sign
T1P 0H3
in a location visible upon entry to indoor public
premises or vehicles. Failure to display signage
would result in a $200 penalty.
However, upon conviction of either offence, the
bylaw provides for the chance of a greater fine,
if the circumstances “indicate a marked endan-
germent or increased risk of endangering public
health.”
By passing first reading of the bylaw now, the
town can move quickly if there is another wave
of COVID-19, said Doug Lagore, the town’s acting
chief administrative officer.
But it also gives residents and business opera-
tors a chance to review what is being proposed,
said West. “We have the opportunity after first
reading to have those formal conversations with
the Chamber of Commerce and get their feelings
about things and talk to the executive director and
other individuals in the community.”
A public hearing is not required for any bylaw
other than land use bylaws, explained Lagore.
However, council could still pursue other forms
of public input, such as surveys or letters, he said.
Bauer subsequently made a motion that passed to
direct administration to look into ways of engag-
ing the public in consultation of the first reading
of the face covering bylaw.
The passing of first reading does not necessarily
mean the bylaw will be enacted, said West. “I’m
hoping that we never have to have second and
third reading, and everybody continues to do the
job that they’ve done.”
Montgomery proposed an amendment to make
the bylaw such that businesses could essentially
opt-in to a mask requirement by displaying mask
requirement signage (the bylaw, if the amend-
ment carried, would apply to only businesses that
choose to put up signs stating a requirement for
masks).
Lagore said that advice from the town’s legal
department would be required as to how to draft
this proposed amendment. “I want to make sure
that we word it properly before you vote on that,
because if we don’t do it right, it could neutral-
ize the whole bylaw,” he said. Council then made
a motion that passed directing administration to
seek legal opinion as to how to word the pro-
posed amendment.
This amendment could negate the intent of the
bylaw, said Joni McNeely, a local physician.
“A public health measure is only efficient if it’s
widespread and addresses all the different levels
of the population,” she said. “By having a pick-
and-choose situation, then it’s really going to min-
imize the effectiveness.”
As the virus has the potential to spread rap-
idly and increase exponentially, officials have to
act quickly to an outbreak. Mandating masks for
indoor public spaces is one effective option by
which to respond, said McNeely. “I totally agree
with the town. They’re getting their ducks in a
row and preparing, because there’s not going to
be a lot of time to act, debate and plan.”

BearCom, a wireless communications

radio system. This upgrade will include
the installation of a new radio tower at
Hammer Hill, located east of Namaka
Lake.
Town’s tree planting
program postponed
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
A plan to plant 150 mature trees in
Strathmore funded by a grant is being
postponed for a year until budgetary
concerns are met.
The town was awarded a TD Green
Space Grant, following an application
made by Councillor Jason Montgom-
ery. The grant provided the town with
$22,865 to plant 150 trees in Strathmore.
However, a report from Donna McCal-
lum, Town of Strathmore horticulturist,
raised questions about the budgetary
impacts of planting the trees, because
of the five years of subsequent mainte-
nance they would require.
Every year, the per tree cost of main-
tenance, including watering, fertilizing,
pruning and watering, was calculated
to be $493.70. Thus, each year, $74,055
would be required for the maintenance
of the 150 trees.

The county’s local radio system is
used by all nine fire departments with-
in the county, as well as by its public
works department.
The existing analog system is older
technology nearing the end of its life-
cycle, making maintenance and part
replacement difficult, and cannot be
programmed to allow for interagency
operability, explained Michael Bour-
gon, Wheatland County’s manager of
fire and emergency services.
The new digital system will also pro-
vide better coverage, which is currently
lacking in some areas of the county,
noted Bourgon.
The town’s budget provides for
$15,000 per year for tree purchasing
and maintenance. This means added
maintenance costs in subsequent years
could compromise the town’s ability to
plant new trees, pay for other projects
such as planting flowers in garden beds
downtown, or retaining specialized con-
tracted services, including arborists and
irrigation technicians, said McCallum.
“Because we’re not in budget yet and
know that it’s going to be extraordinari-
ly tight this year, this is a big concern
that (McCallum) identified,” said Coun-
cillor Denise Peterson. “From a personal
perspective, from a health perspective
and community, I’d much rather have
150 trees than flowers, but I also know
that we’ve gone to tremendous lengths
to improve the downtown, so it’s a di-
lemma.”
In response to this concern, council
passed a motion to postpone the plant-
ing program until 2021.

Thanks for working with the province
LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
To all the parents, coaches, drama
teachers, choir directors and many,
many more not mentioned here, thank
you for working with the province, us-
ing the guidelines provided by Alberta
Health, and getting us back into sport,
arts and culture. The sectors have con-
cerns about folks participating in these
activities, especially when physical dis-
tancing is tough to accomplish. That is
why the organizations, along with Dr.
Deena Hinshaw, Alberta Health Servic-
es, and the Ministry of Health created
the ability to cohort up to 50 people
within a particular activity.
Let’s chat about cohorts, and then
non-cohorted groups, and let’s also chat
about multiple cohorts as many of you
have families, which means your cohort
groups are already pretty extensive. A
cohort is a group of up to 50 people
who are not able to social distance and
have made the commitment to each
other to participate in an activity know-
ing that the health parameters may not
always be able to be maintained. This
is important because group activities
are important to the health and well-
being of our citizens, no matter the age
or activities. The recommendation from
our top doc, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, and
health is that if you are a member of
one cohort, that limiting the amount
of cohorts you and your family partici-
pate in is the best way to prevent more
spread of this terrible virus. Ultimately,

tions, cohorts and families to work with
each other to keep each other safe.
You have all been so amazing in
keeping the virus from spreading, and
your government trusts the families of
this province to take care of each other.
We also trust that Albertans are hav-
ing those important conversations to
understand the needs of families and
organizations, and the importance of
working together, while protecting the
vulnerable. Cohorts should always be
the same people, including staff, coach-
es, instructors, participants, officials
and volunteers.
Non-cohort sports include arts and
culture activities such as drama, mu-
sical activities, horse jumping, solo
dance, badminton, tennis and other
sports that can maintain the two-metre
distance. These are great activities, and
many of these organizations are open
and taking on new students.
The bubble, circle or safe squad that
you are a part of is essential to the
mental health and well-being of our cit-
izens. These are choices and decisions
taken on by organizations, families and
the communities. The discussions and
disclosure of the cohorts is essential to
keeping our population healthy.
As summer transitions to fall and the
leaves begin to change, I am reminded
of our province’s unmatched natural
beauty and the many recreational op-
portunities available for Albertans to
enjoy in our parks. Alberta is blessed
with some of the most destinations in
Canada. Our parks are a core sector of
our economy, supporting opportunities

firefighting
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Wheatland County has agreed to pay for water col-
lected from the Wheatland Regional Corporation (WRC)
south truck fill station by county fire departments for
their training and firefighting.
During its regular meeting on Sept. 15, Wheatland
County council voted to assume costs resulting from
bulk water collections from the fill station by county
fire departments. The decision was made in response to
a request made by WRC in July.
All fire departments will be given a unique passcode
to track and record the amount of water they use from
the station. If annual usage exceeds $5,000 in costs, a
report will be made to council. Based on the munici-
pal rate the county pays for water in Gleichen, equal
to $3.88 per cubic metre, this amount represents 1,288
cubic metres of water.
Firefighter training evaluations require about 68 cu-
bic metres of water and happen twice a year, so they
require about 136 cubic metres per year, representing a
cost of about $530 per year.
Water use for emergency firefighting is more difficult
to predict, as usage depends on fire type and response
length, explained Michael Bourgon, Wheatland Coun-
ty’s manager of emergency and fire services.
The 2017 fires near Gleichen and Carseland required
about 3,785 cubic metres of water, equating to a cost of
$14,685. However, this value represents the cost if wa-
ter was sourced from the bulk water station only, and
not from other sources.
ta home on September 12, 2020 at the young age of 38
years. Tina was the beloved daughter to Ken (Joann) and Jackie (Bill)
and wife to Jesse. Tina was the proudest mother of all five of her chil-
dren, Tyler (Sam), Brady (Hayley), Eric, Hope, and Josie and is survived
by her siblings Tanya (Brad), Shaun (Seanna), and Deanna; and her step
siblings Shawn, and Michelle (Tom). Tina is also survived by her best
friends and soulmate Tasha (Justin), Jessica, Jodi, Geanette, and Ryan
(Josephine). Tina’s passing is also deeply mourned by several nieces,
nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and several remarkable friends. De-
spite the enormous size of the family, Tina developed a strong bond
with each and every member. Even in her final days, her genuine spirit
and whimsical sense of humor was a gift to those surrounding her.
Tina had a way of making every person who had the privilege of meet-
ing her feel included and welcomed. Most of her children’s friends lov-
ingly referred to her as “Mama T”. It was not uncommon for the kids
who came to visit to spend a majority of their time upstairs joking with
Tina. Tina’s door was always open and she provided a warm and wel-
coming environment to all. This loving atmosphere she created resulted
in her home becoming a place for strangers to become friends and
friends to become family.
Tina followed her passion of advocacy and attended the Social Work
program at Mount Royal University. Following her diagnosis and dur-
ing her treatment, Tina persevered and received her diploma in the
Spring of 2018. She touched the lives of many during her employment
at Wheatland Crisis Society. This passion could also be observed in
her personal life when advocating those disadvantaged in her life. The
impact Tina has made on those around will be carried on for many
generations.
We would like to thank Dr. E. Muller, Nicole Porquet-Seitz, and the
Palliative Care Team from Strathmore Home Care for their amazing
care and support. Also, thank you to the amazing community for their
prayers, thoughts, well wishes and support throughout Tina’s journey,
we could not have done this without all of you. Tina may be gone, but
never forgotten!
A private memorial service for Tina was held on Monday, September
21, 2020. To watch a video of the funeral service or to send condo-
lences, please visit Tina’s obituary at www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.
cer.
Romayne was born in Standard on February 16, 1940, the fourth of
eleven children.
He is survived by Barbara (Watson) his wife of 50 years, his daughter
Shawna McDonald (John) and their children Riley and Tyson; his son
Brian (Shelby) and their children Marley, Chloe and Koen.
He is also survived by his siblings Carol Tholenaer, Helen Beste, Iva
Gregory, Mary Lu (Norman) Wandler, Maureen (Paul) LeBoeuf, Joe (Kar-
en)Gregory, Jim (Wendy) Gregory, Frank (Terri) Gregory, Sharon (Gordon)
Hart and Mike (Morinne)Gregory. His sister-in-law Marie Taubert and
brother-in-law Doug Watson. As well as many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by parents Milford and Iva and brothers-in-law
Frank Tholenaer, Jerry Beste and Ted Taubert.
Romayne spent his whole life in the Standard community, the third gen-
eration to farm the family homestead established by his grandfather
Romayne. He was an active member of the community serving on many
boards. He served in the Lions club in many capacities for over 50
years. He was president of the Standard Recreation Board in the early
‘70’s when the covered arena was built and again several years later
when the artificial ice was installed. Romayne was a longtime member
of St. Rita’s parish in Rockyford.
His interests included coaching and playing hockey, curling, golfing,
hunting and various water sports. In his later years he enjoyed travel-
ling and trips to the casino with friends, as well as beating his family at
board games. All appointments and meetings were scheduled around
his mornings with the “guys from coffee”, which he faithfully attended
6 days out of 7.
He was a proud father and grandfather who enjoyed spending time sup-
porting his grandchildren in their various activities. Romayne had a wry
sense of humor and was not shy about expressing his opinions.
A private family funeral will be held at a later date.
If friends so desire, donations may be made to Wheatland and Area Hos-
pice Society (Box 2154 Strathmore, AB T1P 1K3) or Strathmore District
Health Services Palliative Care (200 Brent Blvd, Strathmore, AB T1P
1J9).
