The ‘Alberta Advantage’ is dead afterthe Prentice government tabled the bud-get on March 26. The flat tax rate of 10per cent, which was the pride of formerPremier Ralph Klein, will be eliminated

and will see people earning more than$50,000 being taxed more. This wasn’t the only increase to hit

Albertans with the announcement. The budget will see increases to 59 differ-ent areas in the form of taxes and fees.

Things like gas, beer, wine, dying, be-ing born, getting married, insurance andmortgages will now cost Albertans more.

Health care premiums, which wereeliminated in 2008, will also be makinga comeback as of July 1, and will affectanyone making over $50,000 per year,costing up to a maximum of $1,000 perperson depending on your income.

“A need for increased revenues along with decreased spending requires a

tough budget which none of us likes, but we did expect,” said Molly Douglass, thePC candidate for Strathmore-Brooks.

“Albertans know services cost money(and) expect government to use taxpay-ers’ money wisely and efficiently, so withthis 2015 budget and going forward thatmust be the rule in order to keep our

province’s position of strength.” Alberta is about to go into a record def-

icit of $5 billion over the next year. Wil-drose candidate for Strathmore-BrooksDerek Fildebrandt said that number iscloser to $7.7 billion, which is the con-solidated total deficit for capital and op-erations.

Over the past few months the Prenticegovernment has brought four different

budget proposals to Albertans. The first was to see some tax hikes and continu-ing spending. Next was a $2.5 billion cutin spending and $2.5 billion in tax hikes.During the televised address by Premier

Jim Prentice on March 24, he announcedthat the government would hold the line

on spending but would contain tax hikes. The actual budget announced will see

a $3.5 billion increase in spending, and$2.7 billion in increased taxes.

“This is just the pre-election budget, which is likely to be the friendliest ver-sion that the electorate gets to see. Idoubt that it will be the budget actually

passed by the PCs once the votes arecounted,” said Fildebrandt.

“This is an assault on the middle class,I don’t believe in raising any taxes rightnow because the province does not havea revenue problem, it has a spendingproblem. Our government still couldn’t

balance the budget when oil was $110a barrel, and despite the decline in oilprices we still have higher revenues thanalmost any other province in the coun-try, the problem is we’re spending toomuch.” This is the first time in years that Alber-

ta’s taxes have been raised, and the intro-duction of a Provincial Sales Tax (PST)has not been entirely ruled out.

Three people were found dead aftera house fire broke out on the SiksikaNation March 28. Cody Blackkettle, 28, Troy Pretty Young Man, 28, and TiffanyPanther Bone, 25, were identified asthe three found in the home. The Glei-chen RCMP, assisted by the Cluny and

Siksika Nation Fire Departments, werecalled shortly after 7 a.m. on March 28after neighbours reported seeing smoke

coming from the windows of the home.Fire investigators found the bodies while clearing the home after the blazehad been brought under control.

It’s believed that smoke inhalation was what killed the three victims, who were discovered in the bedrooms of

the home, an area the flames had notreached. The preliminary examination sug-

gests that the fire started from inside,and did not appear to be suspicious.One thing that stood out to investiga-tors was the fact that there were no working fire alarms in the home. Acandlelight vigil was held on Sunday,March 29 to remember the three.

The Town of Strathmore is now ableto apply for financial assistance throughthe Small Communities grant from thegovernment. There are two projects to be sent forward for approval, one of which is the east Strathmore reservoir.

“We estimate the cost of this project be approximately $6 million. The sec-ond project is for the mainline sewer …from Orchard Park to the Waste Water Treatment Plant,” said Director of Cor-porate Services Mel Tiede. There is not currently a firm engi-

neering estimate, but Tiede said it has been suggested that, depending on tim-ing, the project will cost between $2.5and $3.5 million. When asked his opinion on how suc-

cessful the town will be on being giventhe grant, Tiede said he believes thetown will be somewhat successful, and

may not get all of the funding they arerequesting but will get some funding.

Because of the state of the economythe plan would be to move forward asquickly as possible if funding is ap-

proved. Grant funding comes in threeparts; a third is federally funded, athird is provincially funded and a third would be locally funded.

Councillor Steve Grajczyk raised con-cerns about being obligated to com-plete the project even if the town is notable to come up with its portion of thefunding. Tiede said to keep in mind that the

town had anticipated borrowing $3million to complete the roads projects, which they may no longer need, whichcould allow for additional borrowingcapabilities without going to extremeamounts.

“The new reservoir is very important,if you look back at our plans for quite afew years we’re to build a big reservoiron the west side that’s complete and working well, then we were to buildone on the east side,” said Chief Admin-istrative Officer Dwight Stanford.

“Another thing is we’re planning on

spending over a million dollars to up-grade the Brentwood pump station andif we could get approval to do the (eastreservoir) we could just sort of do someminor repairs to keep it going without

Town to apply for grant fundingspending the whole million dollars toupgrade it.”

Stanford thinks the upgrades willonly buy a few more years on theBrentwood reservoir before it wouldneed more repairs and upgrades. The $6 million price tag would also

include a road going from CentennialDrive (from the Brentwood Pump Sta-tion), to across George Freeman Trailinto wherever the new reservoir will belocated. A motion was made and ap-proved to apply for the Small Commu-nities grant, and to approve the projectspending financial approval.

Navigating your way around the Townof Strathmore’s website just got easier with the launch of the new website. Tracy Simpson, community services co-ordinator for the town, said they went with a new company, Twist Marketingfrom Calgary, who are more market-ing-based. Doing so will give the townmore access to more features down theroad if they want to do things like elec-tronic newsletters or campaigns.

“There are more things you can doonline through this (new website). Ourcitizen communication form you can doright online and submit if you have anyconcerns or questions for the town,”said Simpson.

“You can also book the mayor di-rectly for your event in an online form, we’ll be able to add more and more ofthose things that you can do online in-stead of having to come in to the town,so that’s a great feature.”

Something new also coming to thesite is a community group’s page that will act almost like a business directo-ry. Any community groups, non-profit,sports and seniors groups will all beable to go on the site and create a pro-file that can then be searched by the website users.

“Let’s say you’re new to town and you have a 12-year-old and you wantto know what’s out there, you can goin there and you can search certain

parameters and it will bring up whichgroups kind of work with that param-eter that you want,” said Simpson.

It was back in 1796 that the rst vaccine was

administered . It was for smallpox. However, it was

in the 20th Century that many new vaccines were

developed to control once-common diseases likediphtheria, mumps, measles, hepatitis, polio, tetanus

and u. A vaccine for malaria is also on the horizon.

Medical advice is readily available from many

different sources including the internet. However

this can be a double-edged sword because both

accurate and inaccurate information abound in

cyberspace. It’s important to know the difference

and get your information from reliable sources.

If you want reliable information on a disease, talk to

your doctor of course. Also you can go to the disease

websites. For lupus and MS, just type lupuscanada.

org or mssociety.ca. You’ll nd a wealth of reliable

information on each disease with ideas of where to

go for further information.

In Type I diabetics, the body’s immune system

destroys the pancreas’ insulin-producing cells

making daily insulin injections a necessity.

Hopefully, in the near future, encapsulated cell

therapy will remove the need for these injections..

Stem cells are used to make insulin-producingcells, covered in a special coating to make them

impervious to immune-system attack. Research on

this is moving quickly.

Our pharmacists keep up to date on the latest in

pharmaceutical and medical advances. It’s part of

our many goals to serve you better.

Because it is a big component of thesite it’s not quite ready to launch yet, but should be accessible in the next

month or so. Another feature that’s different is the

public advisory section, which is lo-cated on the home page, under newsfeed. The public advisory section can be small on the side, or it can be madelarge to go across the front of the mainpage so that people can see it if there’san emergency, and easily find informa-tion and important details. The previous website was outdated,

and needed to be refreshed and mademore user-friendly. It has been reorga-nized and any information not relevantto the public has been removed. Per-mits and applications forms can now befound online, and it is easier to searchthrough to find what you want.

“We tried to organize it in a way that we felt made sense to the residentsin Strathmore and not necessarily thestaff,” said Simpson. There may be changes to come as

feedback comes in from staff and resi-dents. Simpson suggests reaching outon Facebook or the citizen communi-cation form on the website if you havesuggestions.

but it would put everybody atrisk and we don’t have the landsavailable for them to do thosetypes of exercises on,” said JudyUnsworth, Fire and EmergencyManager for Wheatland County.

Consultations were had withthe firefighters, the officers and

district chief during the fire services review to determine whereand what would be a good fit forthe Carseland Fire Department.

Besides the need for expan-sion, it was also determinedduring the review that the hallneeds to be located away fromthe CP Rail mainline where itis currently located. If anything were to happen on the rail linethere the firefighters would not be able to access the fire hall.

The new hall location will beacross the highway on a locationadjacent to the existing Waste

Transfer Site, south of Carselandalong Hwy #24.

It is located away from the CPrail lines, and the other thing toconsider, said Unsworth, is thatone third of all response person-nel live outside of the Hamlet ofCarseland, so they won’t be pro-

hibited by the trains. The land is municipally ownedand there is already some servic-ing on it.

“It really does provide a safeand adequate location for theguys to perform training evolu-tions,” said Unsworth.

“I’m looking forward to the fu-ture benefits that brings for ourcommunities,” said Carselandresident Marcy Field on Face- book, about the increased spacefor training that the new loca-tion will allow the members.

Concerns have been raised

about the firefighters having to wait for the train to go by beforethey can get into the trucks, butit’s possible they could get intothe trucks and still be waiting onthe trains to respond.

“District Chief Heilman in-dicated that there are multiple

exits from the Hamlet of Carse-land including one a mile eastand one a mile west, given thattrains can occasionally be up totwo miles in length it stands toreason that one or the other exit would always be available to thefirefighters to muster at the hall,”said Field. At council Unsworth present-

ed a graph to outline where thecalls were coming in from. In55 per cent of the calls in 2013 were north of the train tracksand 60 per cent were south ofthe tracks in 2014.

THE JOURNEY OF FAITHFor the Christian Church, this isHoly Week. It is a journey of faithand reflection that began on AshWednesday, with the season of Lent.It is the week that we remember thelast week of the earthly life of Jesusof Nazareth.The events that are remembered in the week begin with the triumphantentry into Jerusalem for the feastof the Passover. Our sacred stories tell us that Jesus entered the holycity on a donkey, a humble animalspeaking of a person of a lower

social position.Still the people of Jerusalem, whohad heard of all of the wonderfulworks that Jesus had done, pulledpalm branches off the trees around them and waved them as we wouldflags to show their welcome andsupport for Jesus of Nazareth.As the week continued, Jesus wouldcome daily to the city and templewhile staying at his friend’s home inBethany, a few short ‘miles’ away.It is said that he would sit on the temple steps teaching and listening to the questions of the folk gathered.On Thursday of this week, someparts of the Christian Church,observe what is called “MaundyThursday” or the Day of Command-ment. In liturgical churches, wecommemorate this giving of the law‘to love one another as Jesus hasloved us.’On Holy Thursday, when we com-memorate that last earthly meal that

Jesus shared with his disciples andfriends, Holy Communion, and wealso re-enact his example of ‘FootWashing.’This action, done to a few membersof a congregation, is offered to re-mind those gathered on Holy Thurs-day that Jesus set an example for allhis disciples then and now, that weare to be about ‘humble service.’He further reminded them that ‘whatwill be done for you is also to bedone by you for others.’The Christian Churches of Strath-more and area, spend a significant

amount of time in prayer andreflection to discern what mannerof service God would have us do in this town, community and world. Weseek through this ministry to service to respond to the call of Jesus to‘serve.’We do not seek to do what otherchurches are doing but rather seek to discover and discern what uniqueministry God calls us to exercise. It isnot an easy task but it is a task eachcommunity undertakes so that werespond to the need that God reveals to us and for us and so respond toJesus’ call to serve and minister toothers as he has for us.As you seek to serve your family,your church, your community, yourfriends, may this Holy Week and theDay of Resurrection, Easter Day, be a time of joy and celebration.

Crowfoot Livestock 4-H club

Exciting news - the Crowfoot Livestock 4-H club will be participating in the show and sale at this year’s 4-H on Parade in Calgary. This is the largest youth show in Canada and the third largest in allof North America!

Members of the club are excited to be compet-ing against strong competitors from the Calgaryregion and having the opportunity to showcasetheir projects to a vast audience. The projects that

we will be taking in are heifers, cow-calf pairs andsteers. The heifer show is tentatively slated for Fri-day, Steer show Saturday and Sale on Sunday. The members will also be participating in multi-

judging, team grooming and showmanship com-petitions. Exact times are to be determined in April.

Club members have been working with theirprojects since November to learn how to “raise‘em right.”

Many hours go into the proper training, feeding, washing and grooming of their projects. Most ofthese bovines will lead better than some of thedogs you see walking in town even though they will outweigh the canines by over 1,100 lbs. Comeand see for yourself! Members will be “learning to

do by doing” all weekend long.Come and support your local club at 4-H on Pa-

rade at the Calgary Stampede Grounds from May29-31.

Calgary Regional 4-H Communication

Competition Committee

4-H members challenged judges with their highquality communication skills on March 21. TheCalgary 4-H Region had three public speaking andthree presentation competitions at the StrathmoreCivic Centre. The Regional competitions are thefourth level of competition for these 4-H members.

This is the last level of competition for the juniorand intermediate members but the top two senior

members continue on to the Provincial 4-H Com-petitions. We are very grateful for all the judges who came to judge and the volunteers who cameto do many of the jobs during the day. Senior 4-Hmembers did an awesome job of being the M.C. forthe competitions. The Calgary 4-H Region consists of five districts

as far west as the Alberta B.C. border, as far eastas Kneehill County, as far north as Innisfail, andas far south as Cayley. Each district sends forwardtheir top two competitors in each age category andcompetition event. Juniors are ages 9-11 years old.Intermediates are 12 to 14 years old and seniorsare 15 to 20 years old. There was 57 memberscompeting, entertaining and educating everyonethroughout the day this year!

In the public speaking categories, the first place winner in juniors (9-11 years) was Quinn Sawyer

from the Swalwell Beef 4-H Club in the Kneehill4-H District. Second was Hannah Sheehan fromthe West Carstairs Beef 4-H Club in the Mountain-

view District and third was Erin Hughes from theLongview Beef 4-H Club in the Foothills District. The winners in the intermediate (12-14 years)

competition was Cassidy Read from the OkotoksOutriders in the Foothills District. The secondplace winner was Emmett Sawyer from the Swal-

well Beef 4-H Club in the Kneehill District and thethird place winner was Gavin Chalmers from theBergen 4-H Club in the Mountainview District. The senior 4-H members (15-20 years) educated

us on many topics and were excellent speakers. The first place winner was Brennan Munro fromthe Irricana Beef and Multi 4-H Club in the Rock-

yview District. The second place speaker was Lind-sey Pearson from the Arrowwood River Wranglers4-H Club in the Wheatland District. The third placespeaker was Monique Uittenbogerd from the ThreeHills Wranglers 4-H Club in the Kneehill District.

Presentations were held during the afternoon.Some presentations were given by one 4-H mem-

ber and some were a team of 4-H presenters. Thefirst place junior presenter was Kyla Lightfootfrom the Big Hill West Light Horse 4-H Club in theRockyview District. Second place was the team ofRay & Jack Warrack from the Cheadle 4-H Club inthe Wheatland District and third place was KeeganHodgson of the Prairie Partners 4-H Club in theMountainview District.

Intermediate presentation winners were theteam of Jordan and Ethan Manor from the Prairie

Winds 4-H Club in the Rockyview District in firstplace. Second place was Jett Jones from the WestCarstairs Beef 4-H Club in the Mountianview Dis-trict. Third place was Dawson McLean from theEagle Beef & Multi 4-H Club in the MountainviewDistrict.

Huxley from the Three Hills Ghostpine 4-H Clubin the Kneehill District. The third place winner

was Sage Hughes from the Prairie Partners 4-HClub in the Mountainview District. A very special acknowledgement to AltaLink,

Capl, Moody’s Equipment, the Okotoks’ Wal-Martand the Calgary Regional 4-H Council for recog-nizing the importance of quality communicationskills that 4-H members learn through 4-H andthese events. Recognizing that confident, qualitycommunications skills will be a very important as-set to all 4-H members and society now and in thefuture.

KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., CROWFOOT

Parliamentary Report

As your Member of Parliament, I want to set therecord straight when it comes to the legislativemeasures our Conservative Government is takingin Bill C-51, the Anti-terrorism Act. Below, I ad-dress the main issues highlighted by the media. The Bill states that it does not target individuals

who engage in “lawful advocacy and protest.”Does this mean that unlawful protests will be

targeted? The Bill specifically excludes “lawful advocacy

or protest” from its application. A protest that isunlawful (for instance, peacefully occupying apipeline construction site) could only be subjectto the information sharing provisions of C-51 as“interference with critical infrastructure” if it alsomet the definition of “activities which underminethe sovereignty, security or territorial integrity ofCanada or the lives or the security of the peopleof Canada.”

In this way, C-51 allows authorities to distin-guish between illegally but peacefully protestinga pipeline from, for example, the bombing of apipeline and endangering the lives of Canadians.

The Bill states that the Canadian Security Intel-ligence Service (CSIS) would not require warrantsfor all its threat disruption activities. What activi-ties will not require a warrant?

CSIS’s present mandate prohibits it from engag-ing in any disruption activities. That means thatCSIS cannot currently approach the parents of aradicalized youth and encourage them to dissuadetheir child from traveling to a war zone or con-ducting attacks here in Canada. CSIS does speak with parents at present, but only in the contextof its current mandate of intelligence collection(i.e. asking questions) rather than threat disrup-tion (i.e. preventing and persuading). Threat disruption that would not require a war-

rant can be understood as any activity that is notcontrary to Canadian law. For example, it wouldnot make sense to require CSIS officers to obtain

warrants in order to ask parents to speak to their

children, or engage in conversations in an onlinechat room.

CSIS would, however, need a judicially-approved warrant for any activity that would infringe uponan individual’s privacy or other rights, or any ac-tivity that would be contrary to Canadian law. Fur-thermore, a judge would need to be convincedthat such interventions were reasonable and pro-portional to the threat.

Canada already has laws against hate speech. What will be criminalized that isn’t already cov-ered by existing legislation?

Canada’s current hate speech laws apply onlyto the incitement of hatred toward an “identifiablegroup.” As such, general threats against, for instance,

“Canada” or “all infidels” are not crimes under thecurrent Criminal Code. ISIS and Al-Qaeda propa-ganda often generalizes against “the West” or the“infidels.” While clearly in conflict with Canadian values,

the imprecise nature of these threats are a chal-lenge to existing legislation. The new C-51 defi-nition will better enable law enforcement to ef-fectively pursue those distributing radicalizingpropaganda and advocating violence “in general.”

Why does C-51 contain no additional oversightmechanisms, particularly Parliamentary oversight?Independent, expert, non-partisan oversight of

our national security agencies is a better modelthan political intervention in the process. Further,the key powers of the new legislation are subjectto judicial review and judicial authorization. TheSecurity Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC)carries out reviews and investigations of CSIS ac-tivities, and reports publicly on the findings.

PAT FULE

Fule for Thought

On the weekend, I got my haircut. I know, you’reprobably thinking, “big deal!”

Most men I know though do not like this wholeprocess. The calling in, the booking, not sure whoto book as your stylist … there’s so much pressure.

You see, my old Hungarian dad, dragged me to his barber for years.

Finally, as my pals’ haircuts looked better and better, and my barber “bowl” looked worse, I was

able to break away. “Brian” my old barber, alwaysseemed to have tears in his eyes, when he ran intome, as I was one of the last of the young guysto break it off with him! It actually did feel like a

breakup, and I tried my best to avoid him! That’s why I felt so guilty at my latest haircut

here in town. I committed the faux pas of callingin, and not asking for my usual stylist! It didn’t hitme until I was sitting in the chair with another girl!I felt like I’d been caught cheating on my stylist. Iknow it’s not like we’re dating or anything weirdlike that, but I had gone to someone else. I hadn’tcalled, or told either of my regular stylists, that “It

was me, not you” … I just went with someone else!Every time one of them walked by, I looked downto avoid eye contact! What a heel I was! Actually, in the huge mirror in front of you when

you get a haircut, I never know where to look. If

you look straight ahead, I’m always worried thestylist thinks you’re “checking her out!”

If you look at other people, I worry they thinkI’m thier stalker! So, that’s why I look down …through the whole haircut. The stylist has to ask meto check and see how I feel about the cut. I don’tknow how I feel … I don’t even remember the an-swer to her first question! What kind of cut do you

want? How short do you want to go? Did your laststylist use clippers or scissors? I didn’t know theanswers to any of those questions! I felt like a kid

who hadn’t studied for a big test! How can you gofor regular haircuts and not know what the stylistdid? It’s because I’m so stressed about not staring

ahead, that I “tune out” during the cut. In fact, therehave been times when I ’ve dozed off! That’s got to

be really helpful to the stylist, when your head sud-denly flops forward, or suddenly jerks backward!

That’s a good way to get a jugular cut.Most parents worry that their little kids will cry

or scream during their haircuts. Not us … one of us would have to stand next to Brennen, because he’dget that dozy faraway look in his eyes, and nod off,sound asleep! We’d basically have to hold him up,as he slept through the haircut! Then, haircut done,one of us would carry his limp, snoring little body

out to the van! Ah, good times.I never know if you’re a new reader or someone who’s managed to stay on as a ‘regular.’

So, I always worry about repeating myself. Incase you are new, or don’t read all that carefully, Imade a huge hair mistake with Debbie. I love herhair dark, and one weekend, years ago, I convincedher to color her hair at home. It was just before thefirst day of school, too. Whatever color it was thatI pushed on her, it was the wrong one! Her hairturned out “Elvira, Mistress of the Dark” black! Idon’t think it could have gotten anymore black! She

was mortified, cried, and panicked about schoolon Tuesday! To make a long story short, I had tosearch the Yellow Pages for a salon that could str ipaway this hideous black, and then they colored itto her natural shade. It was a $300 mistake, I’llnever make again!

So, I’d like to apologize to my regular stylists. This latest one meant nothing to me, it was just a“one time thing!”

It happened this once, and it won’t happenagain. I’ve learned my lesson – that you have to betrue to your stylist, that is, unless it’s me making acolor choice!

If you see a baby hare, leave itright there! Did you know whenhares are born, they are born with-out a scent so they are less likely to

be found by predators? The moth-er intentionally leaves them alonethroughout the day, returning onlya couple of times (typically duskand dawn) to feed them. Wild hares are born with their

eyes open and they are fully furred,unlike domestic rabbits. Within aday of being born they are able tomove around and even nibble ongrass. They are adapted to beingalone, and it’s completely normal

for them to run around and be ina different spot from where theirmother left them.

If you find a baby hare in theroad, or in a window well, etc., it isokay to pick them up and put themin a safe spot close to where youfound them. Mothers do not rejecttheir young if the scent of humansis on them. One thing you can dois to rub the baby down with grassas this will aid in removing someof the human scent, which may at-tract predators (cats and dogs, forexample).

If you see a baby hare, leave itright there! Please call the AlbertaInstitute for Wildlife Conservationat 403-946-2361, or a wildlife centrein your area prior to intervening.

RESENTMENT AND FORGIVENESSSharon Christie MSW, RSW (Women’s Health Resource Centre, AHS)

Giving blood is one of the easiest

things you can donate. It’s free, it’ssomething you have plenty of, it canliterally save a life, and you can get acookie in the end. And who doesn’tlove cookies?

On April 6 from 4-8 p.m. StrathmoreHigh School’s (SHS) Student Leader-ship Council (SLC) wants you to comeand give blood.

“We joined up with the Young Bloodfor Life campaign to broaden ourschool’s fundraising efforts. We wantedto make more of an impact besides justselling baked goods for SLC or wearingcrazy socks,” said Chelsea Dyck, withthe SLC.

“We wanted to actually make an im-pact in people’s lives. We signed upthrough the Canadian Blood ServicesCalgary branch. It was really easy toset it all up. The Young Blood for Life is a na-

tional donor recruitment program thatruns from the beginning of Septemberuntil the end of May, and is designedto raise awareness in all students andto encourage people to get their fellowstudents, family, friends and teachersto donate blood.

“At the moment the clinic is about40 per cent booked, but we have a lotof openings … we have about 70 openappointment spots to fill for that clinic.It’s tough to ask people to come outon an Easter Monday but, it’s also an

amazingly great cause and reason todo it,” said Susan Matsumoto, directorof donor relations for Canadian BloodServices’ Alberta, Saskatchewan andNorthwest Territories region.

“It only takes about an hour of time when you come to the clinic to when you’re ready to leave.”

The most needed blood type is Onegative, which is the universal bloodgroup for whole blood.

“The reason it is so important is, ifsomeone is in a car accident for ex-ample, and you don’t know that per-son’s blood type, the type of blood that you can give to anyone is O negative

blood,” said Matsumoto.Generally during a transfusion in the

hospital the nurses would know thepatient’s blood type and give them the

same type; but in an emergency andthe patient needs blood immediately, you can give them O negative. A per-son in an accident could require up to50 units of blood, which could take50 different people to get. Each time aperson donates they give 500ml. When that unit of blood is processed

it can be made into three differentproducts: red cells, plasma or platelets.Red blood cells have the iron compo-nent, plasma is often used for burn vic-tims and platelets are the clotting fac-tor of blood.

Some people require routine blood;someone with leukemia could need upto eight donations a week as part oftheir therapy, said Matsumoto. Some-

one going through cancer treatmentcould need five donations. Heart sur-gery could take five donations, peoplegoing through bone marrow couldneed up to two donators a day for a pe-riod of time, and people going throughhip replacement could take two dona-tions as well.

“The need for blood is constant. Ca-nadian Blood Services is the only orga-nization in Canada, outside of Quebec,that provides all of our hospitals withthe blood products that they need,”said Matsumoto. Everyone is requiredto complete a questionnaire to de-termine if they are eligible to donate blood. A copy of that can be found on

the website, or if you have questionscall 1-888-to-donate and a nurse will be able to help.

There are three easy ways to bookan appointment, either by going onlineat blood.ca, calling the national centreat 1-888-to-donate or via a mobile appavailable for iPhones and Android de- vices.

Individuals can also indicate thatthey’re donating on behalf of Strath-more High School’s participation of Young Blood for Life program by go-ing to www.blood.ca/joinpartnersfor-life. Look up the high school under theID number STRA13361.

In 2012 former Strathmoreresident Loralee Lenox dis-covered the Cinderella Proj-ect. She had been trying to

figure out what to do withthe beautiful gown she had bought for grad. After notreceiving any responses forthe dress after posting it forsale, she knew there had to be someone who could ap-preciate it.

“There aren’t too many oc-casions to dress up in beau-tiful dresses like the ones you see at graduation. Butthe dresses are expensiveand costs on top of that likehair and shoes can make thisexperience unattainable forsome,” said Lenox.

“Graduation from highschool takes effort and dedi-cation and I think everyonedeserves to have a positiveand memorable grad experi-ence. I waited years beforedonating my dress becauseit was so beautiful and I hadsome great memories wear-ing it ... but it wasn’t doinganything but gathering dustin my closet. I decided I’drather someone else enjoyit than have it hanging in agarment bag.”

She was put in touch withStrathmore High School

teacher Karen Harris, whotold her about the CinderellaProject. The Cinderella Project be-

gan in 2005 with Sir WinstonChurchill High School inCalgary. The staff and fash-

ion students had set out tocollect used gowns to do-nate to students around Cal-gary who were financiallyunable to attend their grad banquets.

Since 2005 those numbershave grown, with hundredsof girls getting the opportu-nity to be pampered and cel-ebrate one of the most im-portant events in their lives.

“It takes hard work to geta high school diploma andgrad is the celebration of allthis hard work,” said Lenox, which is why she is againcollecting dresses. “Every-

one deserves to take part re-gardless of income.”

Donations must be ingood, clean, condition andgrad-appropriate for girlsages 17-18. Other donationssuch as shoes, jewellery, eve-ning bags and gift cards arealso accepted. Anyone wanting to donate

can get in touch with LoraleeLenox on Facebook or by e-mail at [email protected]. She plans to collect thedonations and deliver themto Calgary on April 17.

“It’s just an updated fire service agree-ment that’s in place. Rocky View has

been working with our staff to get that

up to date,” said Wheatland Chief Ad-ministrative Officer Alan Parkin. “It stillprovides the same services. We work alot with Langdon, down to the Carse-land area, they reciprocate both ways.” This agreement will allow for both

counties and their municipalities to provide mutual aid to each other’s areas atno cost.

In addition to not having any costs involved, this will allow for a seamless fireresponse to all citizen emergency needs

without the concern of economic reper-cussions.

Parkin also said that negotiating wasnot a big issue as there was a lot of co-operation from both sides.

“It was last November or Decemberand we had a couple meetings withthem and it’s basically a final statenow and that’s why we’re getting it ap-proved,” said Parkin. The agreement outlines as follows:

innovation for better ways and better benefits, to have an honest, respectfulrelationship with everyone, being ethi-cal by doing the right thing with respectand dignity and following the missionstatement by helping serve the needs ofthe rural and diverse community.

The Hamlet of Carseland has seen agrowing number of domestic and feralcats roaming around the area and has become a concern to much residencein the area.

Cats becoming a concern in Carseland The issue has been brought up to

Wheatland County Council to possiblyimplement a cat bylaw.

“It was a request from councilor VanderVelde, and in Carseland there were a few complaints he receivedabout cats running at large,” said AlanParkin, Wheatland County’s Chief Ad-

ministrative Officer. “Our staff did a bitof a review, and we’re not recommend-ing to put in a cat bylaw because of anumber of things, but we certainly dohave the capabilities of taking nuisancecats to the SPCA and they can adoptthem out to a home where they can betaken well care of in Calgary.

“Unfortunately, animals go astrayand the next thing you know you gota nuisance on your hands and maybe a

safety concern.” The county does not regulate cats

owned within the bylaw guidelines;there has only been a bylaw set fordogs.

“Currently, we don’t have a cat bylawin Wheatland County, we can only as-sist property owners in capturing the

animals and getting them to the SPCA,”said Parkin. The Wheatland County’s Level 2

Peace Offices are the only ones whohave the authority to enforce animal bylaws.

If a cat bylaw were to be put into mo-tion, the peace officers would requirepossibly a .5 position increase to theirdepartment.
