Chuckles, the Vietnamese pot-bellied pig,made his way Strathmores town council meet-

ing on Nov. 5.Owner Trevor Dahl pleaded for Chuckles to

remain in their home, allowing Chuckles tocontinue to assist Christina Dahl as a certifiedemotional support animal (ESA). Chuckles satpatiently and was well-behaved and quiet, inspite of the crowd on hand.

I do apologize because there was a lot ofconfusion starting from the very first meeting,then the second one, when we asked for per-mission to speak and then when more informa-tion played out after that, said Dahl. Since thevery first meeting and through the second oneto and continuing on to this meeting, there hasbeen a lot of information that has come for-ward and a lot of information that didnt getpresented in a timely manner. We seem to have

managed to get it in now.Dahl made a renewed attempt to address theconcerns that have been raised. He submittedthe certification that Chuckles was indeed anESA and he was taking courses to complete hissecond therapy animal certification based outof Edmonton.

Dahl said the Strathmore bylaw lumps Chuck-les under a livestock category, where CanadaStatistics categorizes pot-bellied pigs under petcategories. He clarified that Chuckles walkson a leash similar to any dog and likes to gofor walks. Dahl would like to be able to takeChuckles for walks, keeping him on a leash. Hesaid he has been a farrier for 17 years and hastrained to care for Chuckles, including trimminghis tusks.

Dahl does not think breeding pot-bellied pigs

should be allowed in Strathmore, but wouldlike to see the limit per household set to twopigs (with conditions), as they are communalanimals and are more settled with a companion.

Councillor Pat Fule said his mind is open onthe issue; however he would only be consid-ering the letters submitted from people in theTown of Strathmore.

Councillor Bob Sobol asked about Christinasmedical documents and Chuckles animal sup-port documents, and asked about Chucklesneutered state.

Would it shock you to hear that I have re-ceived a whole bunch of letters, not from neigh-bours but from people in Strathmore and areaagainst this issue? said Sobol.

After the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Strathmore Civic Centre, there was a short

service held at the Strathmore Cemetery Field of Honour on Nov. 11. Prior to going out in

the bitter cold, the ceremony included a message from the Prime Minister read by Comrade

Ron Howard, a welcome from Deputy Mayor Brad Walls and guest speakers Strathmore Fire

Chief Muir Furzer and Comrade Doug Seaton. Comrades Gwen Dewar and Betty McKay

lead a Supreme Sacrifice Ceremony assisted by Strathmores 903 Squadron Air Cadets, fol-

lowed by the Laying of the Wreaths, also with the help of the cadets. For more Remembrance

The trained medical volunteers serving on the StrathmoreFire Department (SFD) will be feeling a little safer, afterhearing Alberta Health Services (AHS) is offering to delivermedical direction to them, if they deliver medical aid prior tothe arrival of area ambulances.

To build on the point of Councillor Bob Sobol and cus-tomer service, this is a service that the fire department hasprovided in the past and continues to provide today, saidSFD Captain Bas Owel. It is medical response when no am-bulance is available to respond in Strathmore. So if EMS iscalled and is not able to respond in a certain amount of time,the fire department is called to provide first line medical re-sponse to residents in Strathmore.

Previously the fire department had a joint agreement withWADEMSA for providing medical service. Owel said theagreement should really have been formally documentedwith WADEMSA, but since AHS has taken over medical su-pervision of EMS in Alberta, it follows to accept their offer ofmedical direction for first responders.The arrangement will offer some liability insurance for

those trained individuals as previously they were relying on

the Good Samaritan Act for coverage in case of complica-tions.All municipalities within the Calgary Zone of Alberta

Health Services have been offered medical oversight at nocost to the municipality. AHS adopted the term Medical

First Responder (MFR) to unify the different varieties of firstresponders in the province. It defines a Medical First Re-sponder as any agency that is routinely dispatched by 911,is trained, equipped and responds to medical incidents priorto EMS arrival, but does not transport patients as a MedicalFirst Responder.A press release by AHS states that local communities have

a say in what level of response is offered by their local medi-cal first responder agency. However it isn`t clear at this timewhat standards or responsibility MFR`s under their directionwill be required to meet.

It states while agencies will be expected to meet the pro-grams minimum requirements, it is not AHS intent to in-troduce a minimum standard that requires enrolment withAlberta College of Paramedics. It is important to note thatmunicipalities and agencies will be able to choose if theywant to participate in the program depending on commu-nity interest, resources, capacity and ability to respond tocalls. www.albertahealthservices.ca/Data/ahs-data-ems-mfr-medical-first-responders.pdf

We are asking council to accept the formal invitation byAHS to provide medical direction to the Strathmore Fire De-partment, said Linda Nelson, Deputy CAO for Strathmore.

Council complied with a unanimous vote.

When asked, Fire Chief Muir Furzer agreed that it was agood thing.We welcome the move as currently we don`t have any

direction and it leaves responders open to liability threats,said Furzer. This will be good for the department.

AHS extends helping hand to Medical First Responders

Dahl said no and both Sobol andDahl agreed there are two sides to ev-ery issue.

Sobol read a letter from Rescue andSanctuary for Threatened Animals(RASTA). The letter outlined the per-ils of having a pot-bellied pig as a pet.RASTA indicated that Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs require specialized care asa pet and really should not be kept inan urban setting, but rather in an agri-cultural setting.

When asked, the Strathmore bylawofficer was still not in favour of ex-panding the bylaw to include pot-bel-lied pigs.

Councillor Denise Peterson approvedof the documentation Dahl had gath-ered to support his case.

She said one of the requirements shehad to make a decision was that Dahlget the approval of his adjacent neigh-bours and supply more documentation.

That you would provide proof thatthis was an animal crucial to yourchilds health well-being and talk tothe lengths you have gone to makesure this is a healthy and well caredfor animal, said Peterson. I am con-vinced the CD you have provided, andthe information with the letters youhave provided ... from councillors anddoctors, have shown beyond a shadowof a doubt that this animal is not onlyimportant, but crucial to the well-beingof your family. I think it is a differentissue from changing the bylaw. I ap-preciate the education you have givenme.

Mayor Michael Ell said that he hadan open mind, would listen to bothsides of an issue and how they affectStrathmore residents. He wanted toensure the appropriate documentationwas in place and he needed to listento the recommendations of the bylawofficers.

Councillor Rocky Blokland askedabout infractions of the 10 pot-belliedpigs currently kept by residents of

Its not too often you nd a scientic textbook

that was written 156 years ago and is still in print.

The book is Grays Anatomy (not the TVs show),

written in 1858 by Henry Gray, a London doctor andsurgeon. The book is in its 40th printing and is still

used by the medical community today.

The amount of weight a pregnant women gains is

proportional to her normal body weight. A rough

guideline is: if you are underweight (BMI less than

18.5), weight gain should be 28 to 40 lb; normal

weight (BMI 18.5-24.9): 25-35lb; overweight

women (BMI 25-29.9): 15-25lb; obese (BMI 30+):

11-20 lb. However, the nal decision on how much

weight you should gain still rests with your doctor.

Its that time of year again when we become more

aware of passing on viruses and bacteria to our

friends and family. Shaking hands has become so

part of everyday life but it can be a source of infection

transfer. Ideas suggested as a substitute include st

or elbow bumping or even a bow. Hard to change

ingrained habits but its worth considering.

We have vaccines to protect agains Hepatitis A and

B but none for Hepatitis C. Baby Boomers (born

from 1945 to 1965) show the greatest rates of Hep. Cbecause they may have been infected in the 70s and

80s when rates of Hep C were high and blood wasnt

screened as well as it is today. If you think youve

been exposed, you can be tested.

Grade 7 students atCrowther Memorial Ju-nior High School learnedabout managing theirmoney during the annualDollars with Sense work-

shop on Nov. 5.The program, and

many others, are offeredthrough Junior Achieve-ment of Southern Alberta( JASA). The programs aretaught to Grades 5-12,with a different one be-ing offered for each agegroup, including learninginvestment strategies, ourbusiness world, econom-ics for success and more.

These programs aremeant for kids in schoolsnow and at young ages. Ifound out from personalexperience, kids get out

of school and they haveno idea about moneymanagement, entrepre-neurship skills, saidTristan Periard, JuniorAchievement represen-tative. They dont haveany idea about moneymanagement. So the

class were doing today isDollars with Sense, it re-ally teaches the kids howto budget their moneyand they might not learnthese skills anywhereelse.

Periard could not stressenough the importanceof educating youngergenerations with theseskills that will be an as-set to them in the future.

Its so important tohave these programscome to the school toteach students, becauseas they go into the real

world, if they dont knowhow to budget their mon-ey, then they will have astruggling real world ex-perience, said Periard.

Programs like thoseoffered through JuniorAchievement will alsohelp the students as

they move on into post-secondary education,and helps them figureout where they can savemoney, or gives themideas on how much theywill need to work in or-der to get by.

It really leads up tothem moving out of highschool and the skills theyneed moving out of it,said Periard.Anyone wanting more

information about JASAand what they offer go towww.souther n-a lber ta .jacan.org.

Learning money management

Chestermere, and was told they onlyone had one infraction where a pigwandered onto the golf course.

Blokland directed administration,with the agreement of council, to bringback to the next council meeting anamendment to the bylaw, with a spe-cial exception to the bylaw that couldbe made for the Dahls to keep the pot-bellied pig in their home. All membersof council voted in favour of the direc-tion.

Once administration brings the spe-cial amendment back each councillor

and the mayor will again have the op-portunity to vote whether to accept orreject the amendment and special ex-ception.The issue has caused a lot of sup-

port letters for both sides of the issueand Dahl said he certainly got a crashcourse in social media throughout theprocess.

A group of representatives from the StrathmoreAssembly of Youth (SAY) proposed the installa-tion of an 18-hole disc golf course in Strathmore,

to council on Nov. 5.Our main goal is to increase youth involve-

ment in Strathmore, said Susan Swann, one ofthe representatives.The group said youth would be interested in

utilizing the course, but it also could be playedby families and senior citizens. While it is a funpastime for anyone, it is also recognized profes-sionally.The equipment for the game consists of a

mounted hoop and participants throw frisbeesinto them. The hoops have a basket that is mount-ed on a pipe set in cement. Both are locked to-gether then padlocked for security. There wouldalso be a sign to indicate the course direction, andtees would be a pad of grass, gravel or asphaltmarked with paint.The 18-hole course would start in Brentwood

and wind its way through parks and walkwaysto Maple Park and Dinosaur Hill through to theCambridge area to the Lions Park and finally the

open area behind the Birth Forest Park.The group asked council if they would be will-

ing to take over the ownership and maintenanceof the course, once it was installed. SAY memberswould be involved in the labour of installation ofthe course.

Players would be responsible to purchase theirown discs (similar to Frisbees) and they can bepurchased in Calgary, or the group might con-sider selling them depending on how the ideadevelops.All told the project would cost around $13,000.

Sponsors will be approached and business logosof contributors will be put on the signs at eachhole.

You have done an excellent job and I com-mend you on so many levels your planningand presentation, said Councillor Peterson.

Peterson moved that Strathmore sponsor thefirst hole of the course for $1,000 maximum.

Council voted unanimously to accept the mo-tion.

Councillor Pat Fule commended teachers JillMcDonald and Susan Ruzek for giving up theirspare time to work with the group and help thestudents accomplish so many good projects forthe Town of Strathmore.

KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., CROWFOOTParliamentary Report

During the month of November, Canadianscome together to honour those who have sacri-ficed to make our world a safer place. I encourageeveryone to visit veterans.gc.ca/iremember where

you can learn more about the contributions to ournation by Canadas military veterans. Our Govern-ment encourages Canadians to honour our bravemen and women by attending a RemembranceDay ceremony, visiting a local cenotaph or monu-ment, thanking Veterans, wearing a poppy, andsharing a story about a loved one who has served.As your Member of Parliament, I find it remark-

able that so many of us in Crowfoot take the timeand make the effort to attend Remembrance Dayceremonies. In the past, I have laid the Govern-

ment of Canada Wreath at many small and largeceremonies in our Crowfoot Riding and I am al-

ways impressed by the strong showing of supportfor Canadas military veterans.The World Wars Commemoration period (2014-

2020) marks the 100th anniversary of the FirstWorld War and the 75th anniversary of the Sec-ond World War. As a nation, we have a duty toremember the more than 650,000 Canadians andNewfoundlanders who served in the First World

War and the more than one million Canadian andNewfoundland men and women who served inthe Second World War.

Many of you, particularly families with past orcurrent members of the Canadian Armed Forces

will know that as part of Canadas World WarsCommemoration period, all living Canadian Veter-

ans of the Second World War are eligible to receive

a limited-edition commemorative lapel pin and acertificate of recognition. This tribute includes liv-ing Canadians who served with Canadian forcesor with any other Allied force (including the Ca-nadian or British Merchant Navy), either at homeor abroad, during the Second World War. Pleasecontact my office for more details or assistance.This year, our thoughts and prayers will include

the family and friends of Corporal Nathan Cirillowho was murdered as he provided a ceremonialHonour Guard at Canadas National War Memo-rial. We also remember and pray for the familyand friends of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent

who was killed in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu by anISIL-inspired terrorist. These events are a grim re-minder that Canada is not immune to the types ofattacks we have seen elsewhere around the world.

We are also reminded that attacks on our security

personnel and our institutions of governance are,by their very nature, attacks on our country, onour values, on our society, on us, Canadians, as afree and democratic people who embrace humandignity for all.

I hope that everyone can attend your local Re-membrance Day service this year. The cenotaphsthroughout our region of Crowfoot and in com-munities across Canada are sacred places that paytribute to those who gave their lives so that wecan live in a free, democratic and safe society.

A LITTLE RESPECT,

PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

IIt is a week filled with somberrespect for us. The crosses have

appeared in front of the Legions, and

the field of Honor is on Memorial

Drive in Calgary. Poppies are evident

at the checkouts, and many people

are wearing them. And it is a time

when we are reminded to remember

and respect ...Is that same attitude present for the

other 51 weeks of the year?

Id like to say yes ... a few weeks

ago, as I was in the lead car of a

funeral procession, we realized thata truck that was coming up behind

the procession slowed and made the

traffic stay back until the processionwas all the way onto the road way

... a wonderful sign of respect for a

grieving family, preparing to lay their

loved one at rest. In a similar way,

as we drove by the school yard to

another burial recently, we noticed

the young students stop, remove

their hats, and stand with an attitu deof respect, as the procession drove

by. I have noticed people open doors

for others, saw someone go over and

help a senior out of their vehicle and

step up onto the curb, in the snow

the other day ... thank you to those

who live, showing concern and

respect for others around them ...Is that same attitude present for the

other 51 weeks of the year?I sometimes think no. I saw a child

take a swing at a parent the other

day, and it was not in jest ... I heard

the language of a youth and an adult

in conversation at a local restaurant,

the other day, and the language was

far beyond what anyone could con-sider respectful, and was far louder

and more colorful than necessary as

it subjected all around, including a

young family, to terms and attitude

that none of us needed, or deserved

or wanted to hear. I watched as an

adult made a gesture and showed

great disrespect to a youth who wastrying to do the right thing, as they

drove the other day ... I ask each one

of us to please consider our words

and actions, and please, take theexample of this week of Remem-

brance forward, to show respect and

compassion to all others around us,

for the other 51 weeks of the year.In 1 Thessalonians 4, Paul wrote

Make it your ambition to lead a

quiet life, to mind your own business,

and to work with your hands just

as you have been told, so that your

daily life may win the respect of

outsiders and so that you will not be

dependent on anybody.Would it hurt any of us, young or old,

to show a little more respect, day to

day? I dont think so. And will it be a

blessing to the world and to others

around us, as we do? I know so.

So lets do it, lets show it, lets hold

it up ... a little respect please and

thank you!

A break-in occurred at Strath-more Pawn and Collectables onLakeside Avenue in downtownStrathmore on Nov. 6, in the ear-ly morning hours.Tanya Andersen, joint owner

of the business, said it was de-termined the culprits came inand, within three minutes, sweptthe shop of antique jewelry and

military medals and artefactsand then they left.Police responded quickly and

we were thankful for that, saidAndersen. They often dont get

enough credit for the work theydo.

She said she has insurance,but thinks the value of all thearticles taken will be substantial.She doesnt think insurance willcover one tenth of the value ofthe articles taken.

It could have been worse. No-body was hurt. The store wasntsmashed up or burnt down, youhave to look at the positive,said Andersen.

The store already has alarmsand surveillance video, whichthe RCMP are reviewing.

In hindsight, she doesnt thinkthey will place reinforcing bars

on the windows. She said itgives a bad image to the busi-ness and town.Andersen said she thinks if

thieves want to gain entry, theywill find a way in.

The Strathmore Pawn andCollectables is a family busi-ness and they hope customerswill continue their patronagein spite of the incident. She isconfident the RCMP will locatesuspects involved.

Anyone with information re-garding this incident is askedto contact Strathmore RCMP at403-934-3968 or CrimeStoppersat 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

Laughter rolled out of Chea-dle Hall on Nov. 8, when come-dians Kevin Stobo and LaurieFord put on a show for localresidents.

Stobo was born in Banff, and

has competed in comedy com-petitions throughout the coun-try. He has made appearanceson Just for Laughs, the MontrealComedy Festival, and moved onto many other TV appearancesand performance opportunities.

Stobo worked the stage like acautious farmer, cultivating thecrowd for just the right jokes totickle their funny bones. In spiteof the hot lights from the stage,Stobo dug in his bag of comedicmaterial and threw out seeds ofa wide assortment of jokes thatgrew belly laughs from most ofthe packed hall.

Stobo performed a 30-40 min-ute comedic performance oneverything from relationships toRudolph, parenthood to Newfiejokes.

Lori Ferguson Ford hails fromBC and was Stobos warm-upact. She was elected BCs funni-est woman, and has performed

at comedy clubs all over Canadaand the United States. She hasalso appeared on many tele-vision shows including oneson the Comedy Network. Fordwarmed the crowd up slowlyand then smoothly had themhooked when, John sitting inthe front row, became the mainattraction. Johns good sense ofhumour and Fords set of jokeshad the crowd relaxed andready for more fun.The Cheadle Lions retained

the entertainers, and held a si-lent auction to raise money torenovate their local ball dia-

mond.The total cost will be about

$75,000. Upgrades needed arenew fences, dugouts, landscap-ing and construction, irrigationand shrubbery and lawn.

We are raising money for ourlocal ball diamond, or our fieldof dreams as we call it, said Jim

Jones, Cheadle Lions member.We wanted to get it done lastyear, but didnt have enoughmoney, so we are hoping to getit done this year.Jones said new members are

joining and they have youngfamilies, so the diamond will bea good project for the communi-ty as a whole. The diamond willserve youth minor and midgetbaseball and fastball.

If anyone wants more infor-mation about contributing tothe ball diamond fundraisingor becoming a Cheadle Lionsmember, call 403-660-3650.

from the show go to the Alberta Cancer Foundation and this year, through the Foundation, they were able to direct the fundsraised to the Enhanced Patient Care Programs at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and the Drumheller Community Cancer Centre.

The event included a cash bar, food, a silent auction, a 50/50 draw and of course plenty of laughs provided by four very funny

stand-up comedians. Comedians Steve Mazan (back l-r), Clare Belford, Dan Taylor and Ryan Paterson. Organizers Amy Hamp-

ton (front l-r), Shelly Neal, Patti Van Bavel and Dawn Kalbhen.

After writing a compelling essay for a scholarshipfrom the Royal Canadian Legion, Rachel Rogers

was asked to speak on behalf of them at the Sage-

wood Seniors Community Remembrance Day ser-

vice, held on Nov. 10. Rogers spoke to a crowded

room, and emotions ran high as one veteran spokeof the friends he lost in the war. Rogers lost two

great uncles in WWII and her grandfather fought in

the Korean War.

Above and below: It was standing

room only at the Strathmore Civic

Centre as the Royal Canadian Le-

gion Branch #10 Strathmore held

their Remembrance Day Serviceon Nov. 11.

Holy Cross Collegiateheld their Remem-

brance Day ceremony

on Nov. 10. The cer-

emony consisted of

Sgt. Larry McTaggert

talking to the schoolabout his experiences

at war, a wreath laying,

the school choir playing

God Save the Queen,and the Air Cadets do-

ing their march.

Wheatland students gave tribute to soldiers on

Nov. 6 in song and deed. The choir sang several

selections and students came forward to pinpoppies on a cross, as names of fallen soldierswere read.

Trinity Christian Academy held their Remembrance service

on Nov. 7. Each grade contributed with a poignant video to

end the service. Above: Grade 5 students spelt out wordsthat symbolize a soldiers service and sacrifice for their

country. Right: A Cadet reads a letter from a soldier in WWII

just one of many letters the Grade 7-8 students read from

different people who went through WWII.

Students at Westmount Elementary commenced their Remembrance Day

service on Nov. 7. Top: Westmount students take in the Remembrance Cer-emony in the gym. Bottom left: Students that MCd the event were Kiernan

Fisher (l) and Tiffany Okura. This was a special ceremony as Fisher wore his

camouflage sweater with his great grandfathers picture on it as he was oneof the first to drive a tank into V-day during World War II. Bottom right: Rior-dan Fisher poses with the Remembrance Day monument that the school

made during the ceremony.

bussed to school. The school bus driverwas the father of the former mayor ofStrathmore - Keith Schneider!

She remembers that one cold winterday, the driver forgot to pick her up, andthe nuns of a nearby

Catholic Nunnerytook her in, gave herhot food, then she

waited there untilthe bus returned. ForGrades 2 through 5,she attended a prai-rie schoolhouse witha single teacher, whotaught all grades.She remembers be-ing very active as a

volleyball player atschool. After com-pleting her educationin Medicine Hat, she

became a pharma-cists assistant for thenext 14 years.

She then openedTranquility Bay Enterprises in Winni-peg Beach, Man., which manufacturedauto air fresheners, barbecue starters,etc. Her new manufactured productsterritory covered Ontario, Manitoba,Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. So, Win-nipeg Beach was a central point for thisarea.At the same time she obtained her

dealers licence, which permitted her tosell all types of autos. She also took fly-ing lessons at St Andrews Airport FlightSchool, near Winnipeg. She met her hus-

band, a penitentiary officer, in MedicineHat in 1963, and they were married in1964.They had one daughter, Wendy, born

in Medicine Hat in 1966. Judy and Wen-dy moved to Strathmore in the early1980s where Wendy graduated fromSamuel Crowther High School in 1984.

That same year, Judy and Wendyopened Golden West Jewelry on Third

Avenue in Strathmore, and moved Tran-quility Bay Enterprises head office tothe same location. Golden West Jew-elry is a retail outlet, which sells gift-

ware, gold and silver jewelry, watches,and offers repairs of these items, as well

as family heirlooms.

This year they cel-ebrate 30 years inbusiness, at this loca-tion. Wendy workedthere for its first yearof operation, then

went to England as amanager for JourneyFor Lives, a cancerresearch organiza-tion. On returningto Canada, she ob-tained her produc-tion accountant cer-tification, and joineda C.A. firm in 1988,got married and hastwo lovely daughters,one attending Mount
