Times Associate Editor

At a time when downtown business is desperate inStrathmore, frustrations and emotions among businessowners were escalating, when the town flip-flopped onthe issue of fireboxes - shortly after numerous local busi-nesses already footed the bill to install the equipmentthey say they were pressured to install. The Strathmore Fire Department conducted a fire safe-

ty inspection report in early May, which stated a fire de-partment lock box shall be installed and that failure tocomply with the instructions of the report will result in are-inspection, costing the owner another $175 plus taxes.

However, when some concerned business owners ap-proached the town about the issue, they were informedthe action wasn’t mandatory.

“I’ve been totally and completely scammed, the moneyis out of my pocket,” said Brian Code, owner of Strath-more’s Florist.

“Who’s protecting the small businesses in this town?If you’re like me you just do what you’re told, and youdon’t really pay attention. We assume that the fire depart-ment is operating from an honourable position. There isnothing honourable about this at all.”

Code argued that he received the notice during his busy season and followed the fire department’s order, before realizing two months later, upon reading the fineprint, that his business wasn’t obligated to install the$300-$400 box. Attached to the inspection, Strathmore business own-

ers received a list of 10 scenarios that would requirefor a key box to be installed. Such criteria included alocked fire alarm system, automatic sprinkler system,and locked access doors to a roof provided for firefight-ing purposes.

“I did all of [the instructions] because I didn’t knowI had any choice,” Code said. “When I was in my office

two months later I read it in detail and thought why didthey do this to me? They list all the conditions who hasto have it, I do not fit one of those criteria.” According to a letter from the Town of Strathmore Fire

Chief Muir Furzer, the emergency access-lockbox systemallows police and emergency services to enter a facil-ity quickly and safely during an emergency. The letterstates that the property owner is required to purchasea lock box device. Furthermore, Furzer wrote: pursuantto Alberta Fire Code (AFC) I am advising you that effec-tive immediately, all occupancies shall install lock boxdevices in compliance with code requirements outlinedin section AFC 2.5.1.3.2. The letter continues saying thatfailure to comply may result in the building owner, occu-pier, or manager being charged under the Alberta SafetyCode Act.

Answers to all questions will appear on the

website on the Funeral FAQ Page.

Q: How does Caveat Emptor apply?

Caveat Emptor. Buyer Beware. When

someone buys a car, they can research the

vehicle, read reviews, as well as test-drive

that car before they purchase. Death does not

allow for that ‘test it out rst’ type of shopping.

In fact, it is written in legislation that thefuneral industry is not permitted to work by

the philosophy of Caveat Emptor. With one

internet search, you can nd articles speaking

of the unscrupulous nature of funeral directors.

The reality of the situation is that, like any

industry, there are always some immoral

individuals. However, the vast majority of

funeral homes will do whatever is possible to

meet the needs of grieving families. Funeral

directors are required to explain everything

to a family, knowing that families are often

unfamiliar with the industry. As such, Caveat

Emptor does not and cannot apply in the

funeral industry.

Government cutbacks and the ab-sence of a provincial budget left theFoothills Advocacy In Motion Society(AIMS) branch in Strathmore with afunding shortage and a client freeze

this year.Despite ample support from local

businesses to contribute in a financialturnaround by contributing prize dona-tions for the sixth annual AIMS fund-raising event in a few days time, partici-pation in the event thus far continuesto remain low.

“They haven’t announced a budget yet so we’re kind of sitting on the fenceuntil we find out what the new bud-gets are,” said Bev Roppel, the programmanager for Strathmore AIMS. “Rightnow there’s a freeze of new individu-als coming in, because of the fundingshortfall, so we’re hoping to see somenew faces coming in.” The provincial government contribut-

ed over $3 million to the three different AIMS branches – High River, Okotoks,and Strathmore – that currently deal

with 90 clients. In Strathmore, thosenumbers translate to 18 individualsfor a staff of 12. Unless the situationis critical or a client comes equipped

with their own funding, the Strathmore branch lacks capacity to accommodatenew clients. Therefore, the society is hopeful that

numbers to participate in the ChinookFinancial Tight & Bright Family Run,the annual AIMS fundraiser, will spikeover the next few days, beat last year’sturnout, and raise necessary funds re-quired to continue their programs.

“We support individuals that have adisability so mostly a mental disabilityand actually it’s opening up to otherdisabilities also,” Roppel said. “We helpthem become part of the community

and support them where they needsupport. If it’s in a job, or out in thecommunity getting to know the com-munity and being a part of the com-munity, helping them have a life thatthey’re interested in having, as well asmaking sure the community acceptsthem for who they are and the abilities

that they have.” While numbers of participants for the

2015 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km run or walkare low - only a handful compared tolast year’s 75 - the opposite holds truefor support from Strathmore’s businesscommunity.

Forty-five prizes were made availablefor the upcoming event, more thanever before, including assistance fromthe Strathmore and District AgriculturalSociety, the Strathmore branch No. 10of the Royal Canadian Legion, and Chi-nook Financial – a longtime supporter

who donated a whopping $3,000 at last year’s event.

“Each Credit Union and speakingfor Chinook, we’re entrenched in thecommunity, and we’re member owned,

which kind of dictates that we lookafter our members as well so that themoney that we have always goes backinto our communities,” said KimberleySharkey-Thompson, regional branchmanager for Chinook Financial. “So wedo have a little bit of autonomy to de-cide where that money is going backinto and what we’re going to support.Particularly when they’re so invested intheir organization, the committee is soinvested, they’re a working board andthey volunteer themselves. And againthat speaks to what we do as well.

We’re out there and we give back in thesame way. So looking for like-minded

organizations it makes good partner-ships.”

Since early 2009, AIMS operated within Strathmore and continues to work together with individuals with

Family time

“There was a businessman that cameto me about a month ago and he was very concerned, and he said ‘I’m notputting it on my building, forget it,’”said Dwight Stanford, chief adminis-trative officer with the town. “I talkedto the fire chief that time and he said we encourage it but it’s not mandatory.So anyway I never heard another worduntil last week, and then somebody

got a hold of me with the same type ofthing. So there’s been a few businessesmad and upset about it.”

But Councillor and local businessowner Rocky Blokland doesn’t agreethat the lockbox would allow foremergency crews to get into the build-ing more quickly and argued that dur-ing an emergency situation it wouldcost him less for the fire departmentto break his front door and recoup thecost through insurance. Unlike Code,and many other business owners who complied with the report, Blok-land refused to install the box andapproached town administration on whether it was mandatory to install.However, over the last week, Blokland

has been taken a lot of heat from local businesses about his actions and lackof information-sharing with his neigh- bours. Frustrated about the inspectionand how the town has handled the sit-uation, Blokland planned to bring theissue to council.

“There’s too much misinformationcoming out, whether it should bedone this way or that way or maybeit doesn’t have to be done that wayor this way, and I wish they smartenup on that end,” said Blokland whoadded he hadn’t seen an inspection inhis 15 years at the location. “I’m a littleupset here because it’s not being han-dled properly by the town. There’s a

difference between encouraging it andsaying you’re required. And I’m nothappy about how they did an inspec-tion. I don’t know much about fire, butthat wasn’t much of an inspection, andthen you get a $50 bill for that.”

Code has submitted a letter to thetown asking to be reimbursed for$444.28 it cost for the installation andpurchase of the box, and adding thetown failed to protect its businessesfrom unnecessary expenses at an ex-

tremely difficult economic time. At the time when the Strathmore Times was in production, Rocky Blok-land planned to address the issue withcouncil on Aug. 19 and put forth amotion to try and reimburse the busi-nesses.

“I’m going to put myself into a posi-tion on Wednesday where I’m probablygoing to talk against my administra-tion,” Blokland said before Wednesdaynight. “But I feel, of my own mind, thatI have to do the best I can as a council-lor to straighten this out. Whether ornot I’m going to get any support fromthe council or not, I don’t know.”

Drug shortages and price changes may necessitate

a change in brand of your medication. Most of the

time this isn’t a problem but if it’s a thyroid or

warfarin brand change, it is good to get a bloodtest a short while after the change to ensure the new

brand is doing the job as well as the old.

Since the human papilloma vaccine was

introduced back in 2006, there has been a 56%

decrease of HPV infections in girls aged 14-19.

Side effects of the vaccine are rare (1-10 cases in

a million doses given) and the vaccine does not

encourage early sexual activity. It’s recommended

for girls starting at the age of 9 and is a protection

against cervical cancer in the future.

It’s quite evident when looking at the statistics

on tobacco and alcohol use why Russia leads the

world in cardiovascular disease. Russians are the

biggest users of tobacco products and their alcohol

consumption is also high which places the country

near the top in the number of cancer deaths per

year as well.

E-cigarettes are still unregulated products. There

are no standards as to how much nicotine or other

ingredients they contain. The United Kingdom isone of the rst countries that will legislate these

products starting in 2016. Proponents of the

product say they are safer than smoking tobacco but

they still contain nicotine an addictive substance,

that increases blood pressure and heart rate.

If you still smoke and want to quit, we can help.

Coming back from a one-month break, the HopeBridges Society recently completed their line up fortheir fall projects and workshops that trumps previ-ous seasons with more programs than ever before

– a result of growing demand from the society’sincreasingly expanding community.Hope Bridges recently added 25 new members

to their approximately 400-member-strong commu-nity of artists and facilitators that have participatedat any given time. In response to their requests,the Hope Bridges Society is offering 10 programs,some new times for old favourites, and guest art-ist facilitators – a move that’s been unprecedentedpreviously.

“It continues to grow and we continue to be askedto develop opportunities,” said Hope Bridges Soci-ety coordinator Wanda Reinholdt. “This is the mostopportunities we’ve ever had. People are coming.

They’re finding us here. We’re becoming a house-hold name, which is I think is great. It’s starting toreally come and this is my fourth year doing regularprogramming with Hope Bridges, so it’s exciting to

see it develop.” Already this year, the society has created 12

painted quilts, fostered stronger relationships with-in Wheatland County – including partnering up

with Rockyford Library and Rosebud – and con-nected more seniors with the younger generationsthan before. Reinholdt has also noticed stronger

bonds and relationships formed between membersof the society, who not only support one another

but the community in general, which was evidentduring the Let’s Make a Pitch event where 12 indi-

viduals showed up to support the event and thoseinvolved. This season, the staff at the Hope Bridges Soci-

ety is introducing an array of fresh ideas that in- volve instruction by Calgary-based artist Joan Pack-ham, and award-winning artist Charlene Hart fromChestermere, who will facilitate Hand Built Pottery.

While Packham’s specialty is to collect randomitems on her walks and turn them into art pieces,

which she will help those in attendance turn into acommunity art piece, Hart is no stranger to going

on the road and facilitating workshops in schools, with organizations, daycares, and at parties. No ex-perience is necessary for her workshops that runon Nov. 25 and Dec. 9.

“I think there is such a value to bringing this typeof artistic work to individuals,” said Hart. “Because

we’re dealing with adults rather than children, I’m

going to be having them do more the class thatthey can utilize at home rather than ornaments onthe shelf. The adults tend to prefer making vases,

bowls, and boxes.”New this season, is the Zentangle Community

project geared towards advanced Zentangle art-ists. Photographer Kenzie Kettenbach, who previ-ously taught Photography Tips, will also be coming

back in November to teach portrait photographyin anticipation of Christmas. The Community DrumCircle, although with a new instructor, will also bemaking a comeback. The society is also bringing back previous pro-

grams such as Go Green Upcycling, Sing & Play Your High Note, and the Community DrummingCircle.

However, in order to accommodate parents, theGo Green Upcycling, in partnership with Parent

Link, will be offered every third Wednesday from4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at the Parent Link location.

The Go Green Upcycling in the mornings will alsocontinue every Thursday.

In October, their annual gala will celebrate 10 years of Hope Bridges and provide another avenuefor local and regional artists to come together.

“We’re hoping to be bringing back different high-lights from the last 10 years, from the galas, so it’ll

be a special celebration,” said Reinholdt. “It’s always been the same goal to have a number of local andregional artists bring their art. So whether it’s visualartists, or performing artists, they bring their art.”

Reinholdt added, those interested in attendanceare asked to dress up in what they consider theirfinest clothes, whether that means something sim-ple as pants and a nice top, or a fancy dress. Theevent will take place on Oct. 22 at the Hope Churchat 6:30 p.m. and tickets are $10.

bridges.ca. Registrations are now open.

COME TO MEJesus said, “let the little childrencome to me.”Is this simply a nice sentiment, ora bold statement of value, priority,and importance? As a parent offour children under seven, livingin a community where childrenand young families represent asignificant part of our population, this is a vital question. As longsummer days filled with travel,play, and activity transition to-wards September and the “back

to school” routine, here are some things I have seen:- I have seen parents and kidscooperatively gathering togetherin a green space for low-keysoccer games where values ofplay, physical activity, and “team”have been introduced. Whereparents have invested not only in their own kids, but also in other’schildren.- I have seen churches and othercommunity groups invest and cre-ate day camps and bible schoolsnot as time fillers or cheapchildcare, but as opportunities forlearning, play and growth.- I have seen cul-de-sacs andstreets filled with bikes and im-promptu street hockey games.- I have seen bite-sized triathletesand not-yet major league ballerscheered on to early success.

- I have seen a “neighbourhood”street fair that placed high valueon fun, engagement, and activityfor our community’s kids.These, and many more, areexpressions of investment,intentionality, and commitment to our kids. Over the last severalmonths, I have also seen:- parents and adults struggle with the challenges of raising theirkids.- public expressions of frustra- tion, anger, and exasperation as

kids act out or misbehave.- expressions of impatience asadults fight to maintain maturityand perspective in challengingsituations with kids.- failures to see, value, accept,encourage, correct, and invest inchildren as the developing humanbeings they are.Jesus said, “let the little childrencome to me.”While we may be tempted to see this only as a sentimental expres-sion of cliched value on “the nextgeneration.”Every day we see opportunities inour community to invest, engage,inspire, pay attention to the littlestmembers of our town.

In an attempt to heed resi-dents’ complaints and ad-dress a lack of authority,town council requested ad-ministration to review thetaxi bylaw two weeks ago, a

decision that’s leaving Strath-more’s cab companies an-gered and frustrated about

the paucity of protection fortheir companies.

Council tasked administra-tion to focus their attentionon Bylaw 08-25 during theirregular council meeting on

Aug. 5, after Councillor BobSobol addressed the issue fol-lowing numerous complaints

regarding the cleanliness ofthe vehicles, wheelchair ac-cessibility, and the inability

Taxi companies upset over council remarks regarding industryof bylaw officers to enforce suchregulations. The comments caused indig-

nation with the owners of Strath-more’s cab companies that feelthe greater issue remains insuf-ficient protection from the town,

by allowing taxis from areassuch as Calgary, Chestermere,

Airdrie, and Brooks to competefor business in Strathmore, eventhough it’s illegal for Strathmoretaxis to cater to customers intheir boundaries because of their

bylaws.“The town first and foremost

has to step up to the plate, andif you’re not going to step up tothe plate then get your nose outof my business and stay out ofit,” said Marty Van Peuter, ownerof Strathmore Economy Taxis.

“We’re totally allowed tosmoke outside the cab, and wesmoke inside the cabs too. Ev-ery nitwit in town smokes in thecab, and drinks alcohol in thecabs. They’re not allowed to dothat, but the bylaw doesn’t en-force that; the RCMP doesn’t en-force it.

I’ve had cabdrivers assaultedover it, and there’s nobody to goto. The RCMP don’t want to lookat it. You’re caught in the middle.If you’re a smoking cab driver,

you might as well smoke withthem. It’s the easy way out.” The bylaw currently states that

no person, partnership or cor-poration shall carry on the busi-ness of operating a taxi servicein Strathmore, unless the per-son, partnership, or corporation

holds a current Town of Strath-more business license. Yet, local taxi drivers said ve-

hicles from cab companies ofsurrounding areas can be seentending to customers in town

without officers questioningthem about their whereabouts.

While owner of Strathmore Shut-tle Brenda Haf is in agreementthat action is required to handleout-of-town cabs competing for

business within Strathmore, shesaid it’s about time the towntook the initiative and re-exam-ine the bylaw.

“I’m insulted, my cabs areclean, they’re well-maintained,

decaled, lights, my drivers havesecurity criminal record checkdone,” she said, adding that shedoesn’t allow alcohol or smok-ing in her cabs and has neverhad an issue. “With that bylawI followed everything, because Idon’t want to get fined. When my

vehicles need to be maintained

they’re into a licensed mechanicand get it done right. Each of mythree vehicles have every clean-ing product they need. You keep

your van clean. If it needs to be washed go wash it. I don’t havean issue, I want my vehiclesclean.”

She added she wants all taxi-cabs in town clearly decaled,

yet, the bylaw only states thatthe vehicle has to be equipped

with a fully functional, illumi-nated roof-mounted sign thatidentifies the vehicle as a cab.Furthermore, the regulation in-cludes that every cab is requiredto be maintained in a good me-chanical condition and that allparts of the interior and exteriorare repaired or replaced when-ever such parts exhibit excessive

wear or damage or wheneverrepairs or replacements are re-quested by the permit inspector.

“That’s a fairly repetitious com-plaint that I’ve received, somehaving to do with the cleanlinessof the vehicles, the mechanicalability of vehicles, and some ofthe driving habits of the drivers,and that was one of the mainreasons why it was brought up,to bring something into our by-law that would mandate that,”

said Councillor Sobol.“I honestly feel that this will be

to the benefit of the companies.Quite frankly I know people that

won’t drive in the taxi because ofthe smoke. So if they clean someof that I suspect it will result inan increase in business. It’s justan effort to make an even play-ing field for everyone, we wantsome common sense rules inthere so that everything is equalto everybody and we lift theirlevel of service to our residentsa little higher.”

Despite emphasizing the in-ability of local taxis to providetransportations for anyone in a

wheelchair and the seriousnessof such concern, Haf and VanPeuter disagree. Being requiredto dish out at least $30,000 toupdate one vehicle to allow forsuch access, as well as receivingspecial training and certification,is not on the local taxicab radar,

when non-profit organizations

like the Handi-bus offer cheaperrates. According to Van Peuter,ramps were already bought last

year, but with the Handi-bus of-fering rates at 72 per cent of thecost, it’s not financially feasibleto install.

“You have to know how tohandle these people, there are

ways and means of handlingpeople in wheelchairs, and youcan’t just yank people out ofa wheelchair,” said CouncillorRocky Blokland, who is also amember on the Handi-bus board.

“I got a copy of the bylaw andI’ve been reading it over thelast week. It’s pretty vague andit should be updated. It’s seven

years out of whack. They canput all they want in a bylaw butare the bylaw officers out thereat 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning

when infractions are going onagainst the bylaw?”

In regards to protecting thetaxicab companies from out-of-town business, Blokland is ofthe same opinion that somethingneeds to be added into the by-law to add protection. The inability to administer the

current bylaw is among the rea-sons why the issue was brought

before council two weeks ago.

Some councillors are hopefulthat changes to the bylaw willprovide the bylaw office withthe ability to enforce such regu-lations. According to Van Peuter, how-

ever, town council doesn’t rec-ognize the value of the businessin Strathmore as more than justtaking citizens from A to B.

“I’ve dealt with children being born in the taxi to people dyingin the taxi,” he said. “We deal

with everything that comes our way. As a town [they] have leftthe taxis unprotected in every

way, and this council should beashamed of itself.”

Well Strathmore Times readers, my summer in-ternship has come to an end and sadly that meansI must leave you and return to Mount Royal Uni-

versity for my next year of schooling. This summerhas been definitely been one to remember. I haveexperienced many new and exciting things, met somany interesting people, and gained a little bit ofself-confidence along the way.

Over the past few months I have learned so manythings both as a journalist and as a person. I findthat now I can call people on the phone without

sounding like a ball of nervous energy, my pho-tography skills have improved, and my writing isa little more refined. I would like to say that theimprovements were all of my own doing but alasthat would not be the truth. It was the mentorshipand friendly atmosphere of my co-workers at theStrathmore Times that helped me to grow and mak-ing me feel like I was part of the community.

While working for this paper I have experiencedso much that will stay with me forever. Watchingone of my favourite country singers Kira Isabellaup close at the CRIR15 was a dream come true.

Then there were the Canada Day celebrations at

Kinsmen Park which I helped to cover while en-

joy the wonderful event the community put on.Stampede weekend will also stick with me because

while I may have gotten a really bad sunburn and blisters on my feet, I was taught to drive a team ofhorses and got my heart pounding as I stood centrefield to take pictures of brave folks who decided toparticipate in Running with the Bulls.

So dear readers I thank you for reading my sto-ries and generally just being great people. It has

been an honour to work for this newspaper andan honour to work in such an amazing town. Stayawesome Strathmore and you may just see me nextsummer.

Former deputy reeve, Shirley Reinhardt, will bestepping down from her position as chief admin-istrative officer with the Wheatland Lodge after a22-year career, to spend more time with her fam-ily.

Reinhardt’s political career commenced in 1992,lasting 18 years at Wheatland County while over-coming many obstacles and responsibilities. Dur-ing her time in office, she was present for highprofile projects including the road paving for thesecondary highways, the beginning of the CalgaryRegional Partnership, and the area’s economic development.

“I like the county’s system and I like what washappening,” said Reinhardt, about her time in of-fice.

“The starting of a regional partnership with Cal-gary and I guess it’s gone into ‘how are we goingto have the town assist on their own?’ and I was vice-chair on that. I think the developments were big with 20-acre parcels and they wanted to comein and the economy changed to have smaller par-cels. Where was a whole new plan of operation.”

She eventually got out of the smaller programsand expanded into the bigger ones like environ-mental farming plans and the delivery-of-waterconversation, as well as planning and promoting. There was also a time where Reinhardt took

on the responsibilities of communicating with thegovernment about the completion of road pavingaround the area.

Other highlights included being involved withthe transition of moving the county offices fromthe old building, which is now the Golden HillsSchool Division No. 75 school board building,and the ambulance services.

“I was very instrumental in that with Rob Witty,”she said.

“I served on the ambulance re-delivery for theprovince. I got to go to Edmonton a lot on that.

That was really good and if I had to pick (as a favourite highlight), it’d probably be the ambulance. That was a lot of work because we know we havea number one service in Alberta and we’re one ofthe forerunners, a lot of people looked how wedid it.”

She added that Witty should be commended for being there since the beginning of the ambulanceservices in Strathmore and surrounding area. According to Reinhardt, it was ‘frosting on the

cake’ to move from the county to WheatlandLodge because she is delighted to be able to helpseniors have a better life.

“After 18 years, [I was] asked to be the CAO andto be able to work with people I have known for

all my life and to help make their time here asgood as I can do it,” said Reinhardt.

Ben Armstrong, who was the reeve during Re-inhardt’s six years as deputy reeve, thinks thatshe was a really hard worker that really knew herfacts about county issues.

“She was a teacher,” said Armstrong.“We had a group of Russians and Germans over

and they visited the county. They went throughmunicipalities and how we operate it over in thiscountry. One of the guys asked ‘What’s a deputyreeve do ?’ and I said ‘deputy reeve, that’s likeChester on Matt Dillon. The deputy reeve makes

the sheriff look good’ and she did. She lookedafter the fine points, she knew names, protocoland she kept everybody honest.” Armstrong added that if Reinhardt had an idea,

the others would have to fight to voice their ideas.Fifty-three years ago, then wife and mother Re-inhardt raised a family with her husband Alfred.Shortly after, she stumbled upon her second ca-reer, this time in politics, before taking on theCAO position for Wheatland Housing Manage-ment Board, which she calls her fourth career.Now coming full circle, after a fulfilling and suc-cessful working life, Reinhardt will return hometo spend time with her nine grandchildren, chil-dren, and husband.

Learning is a lifelong process, and with the back-to-school season loom-ing adult learners can get excited too, with the course offerings from Wheat-land Further Education Society (WFES). WFES is a non-profit society that

promotes learning in adults within Wheatland County and runs on a com-munity-based learning system. Thismeans bringing the learning into thecommunity rather than the other wayaround. This is to encourage a passionfor learning.

“WFES is often the first point of ac-cess for learners,” said Joyce Bazant,the executive director.

“Its focus is to establish a community where adult learners can participate with confidence and fulfill their learn-ing needs.”

Bazant explained that the society’s vision is about being an associate toadult learners to encourage learningand therefore improve the communityas a whole. The society will be releasing their

course calendar in the Sept. 3 issueof the Strathmore Times. The calendar will feature the 40 classes offered in thefall semester that runs from Septemberto mid-December. The classes all fall

within different subjects that are of-fered. The subjects include English lan-guage learning,

French as a second language, literacyand foundational learning, business, fi-nance and computers, personal devel-opment, safety and wellness, and gen-eral interest. They also offer children & youth classes.

Hussar’s rural roots and rustic details will embolden production companyLeftside Pictures’ creative vision, asthey construct their film set and equip-

ment to capture their second short film,Metanoia, this week.Self-taught filmmaker from Calgary,

Levi Holwell, jotted down the storyline seven months ago and since thenhas accumulated a 10-member cast andeven bigger crew. The village was cho-sen to provide the ideal backdrop forthe 12-minute short film, that even in-corporates Hussar Mayor Tim Frank’snearly 100-year-old house.

“Oddly enough when I first started

the writing the project earlier this year,I just always had a deep love for smallerand rural Alberta and we just wantedto use a community like Hussar to doour best to showcase the history andthe unique landscape that the Bad-lands area of Alberta has,” the 20-year-

old Holwell said. “As far as filmmak-ing goes, it’s just been trial and error.I just firmly believe in making projects,messing up badly, and then learningfrom those mistakes and being betterthe next time. It’s all of these wonder-ful art forms … and you have all thesedifferent avenues to express yourselfand bring out different emotions andresponses, hopefully in an audience, if you do a good job.”

The aspiring filmmaker founded

Leftside Pictures in collaboration with21-year-old Gabe Romero, a musicianand producer who is working on theMetanoia soundtrack. Thus far the company has created

numerous music videos and one othershort film.

However, with the cast including Uni- versity of Calgary students and gradu-ated acting students, the project is al-ready forcing Holwell and Romero tostep out of their comfort zones.

“We’re dealing with a big crew, wehave a lot of actors from the university, we have a great location a great house,it’s really exciting just to be a part of it,”Romero said.

“On set, we’ve never had so many ac-tual people that want to be there. It’s

Hussar picked for setting of short film just using them correctly, not wastinganyone’s time, and keeping them onschedule.” The script revolves around change,

and a young woman’s struggle withidentity and regaining control of herlife in an action thriller genre. The in-

tention behind the execution of the pro-duction is to film the scenes in genresthey would normally not be expectedto appear as.

Once completed, Leftside Picturesintends to have a live showing in Cal-gary, before submitting the project toCanadian film festivals first locally, and building up to bigger events such as Vancouver, Ontario, and Montreal.

The cast and crew will be visiting the Village of Hussar for filming on Aug. 20to Aug. 22. Filming then continues forthe final days on Aug. 29 to Aug. 30.Residents are asked not to park their vehicles on 1st Avenue West on Aug.30, and the road will be blocked offstarting at Centre Street to 2nd Street

from 3 p.m. to sunset. Any concerns are to be directed to

the village office. To take a look at Left-side Pictures’ projects, visit vimeo.com/leftsidepictures.

Staying in the family business is noeasy feat but for the Garnett family,farming is in their blood.

Not only did they recently celebrate100 years on their family farm, but they were also the recipients of the AlbertaCentury Farm and Ranch Award. The award, which is given to families

that have actively owned and farmedthe same land for 100 years, was pre-sented to the family by WheatlandCounty councillor Don Vander Velde. The celebration was attended by rough-ly 160 people.

“I guess it was a beautiful day,” saidGary Garnett, the fourth generation ofGarnetts to farm the land. “Everything went really well.”

The family was originally from On-tario but moved to Summerland, B.C. tostart an orchard. In 1915 Gary’s great-grandfather Edmund Garnett traded theorchard for the farm in Carseland andmoved the family to Alberta.

Gary joked that on some weeks it would be nice to still be in Summerland, but obviously trading in the Orchardmust have been a really good changeas they have been here 100 years. The farm has been part of the fam-

ily for six generations of Garnetts whofarm grain, wheat, barley and canola.Currently Gary and his wife Nancy liveon the farm. They have three daugh-ters and two sons and a two-month oldgrandson. Gary’s parents John and Mau-reen also live on the farm, in an uncon- ventional home, a converted grain bin.Gary explains that the previous ownersused to farm oats and so had a number of grain bins to house the bushels.However, when they moved on to othercrops they didn’t need as many bins,and they moved one bin onto a hill andconverted it into a home.

“It is a really nice house, but as it wasa grain bin before it was a house wedon’t know how old the house actuallyis,” Gary said. The award ceremony and celebration

took place at the family farm on Aug. 8.

Nearly 100 years after theCanadian Pacific Railway(CPR) donated a one-kilo-meter stretch of park area tothe village of Standard, theStandard Community Facil-ity Enhancement Societyis planning on turning thegrassy patch into a pathwaythat preserves the communi-ty’s history – a project witha $300,000 cost attached. The land, which was do-

nated in 1923, remained un-touched for years. Follow-ing much interest amongcommunity members, the

society was formed to raisefunds and turn the greenspace into an enjoyable walkway and bicycle path.

Having attracted attentionfrom Don Sundgaard, Jack-ie Jensen, Moe Zaleschuk,Louise Welen, StandardCouncillor Ron Corbiell,and Standard Mayor AlanLarsen – who are the six di-rectors on the society – theproject is now gaining mo-mentum.

“I saw ladies walking onHwy 840, which has almostno shoulder, sometimes with their baby carriages,

which was kind of a dan-gerous situation,” said DonSundgaard, president of theStandard Community Facil-ity Enhancement Society. “Ithought why don’t we takethis park and make it intoa pathway for walking andcycling. We’re going to beplanting shrubs and treesand putting a water systemin, but the important thingis the pathway for peoplefor exercise, but also topreserve the history of thefamilies and businesses that build the community andsurrounding area.” The proposed three-year

project, named MemoryLane, is 100 feet wide and

one kilometer long, locatedon the ‘Old Elevator Road’along Christian Avenue.

Unlike most pathways,however, Memory Laneseeks to preserve and em-phasize the bygone days ofthe community by erectingsigns along the way – high-lighting the history of busi-nesses, elevators, and otheritems associated with the400-resident village over thepast 100 years. The society has already

begun applying for vari-ous grants, including fed-eral grants, to reach their$300,000 goal. While theorganization, which cur-

rently contains 20 membersand six directors, hopes to break ground later this year,the project is anticipated toreach completion in 2017, just in time for the 150-yearanniversary of Confedera-tion.

“That park is old andthere’s never really beenanything done with it,” said Jackie Jensen, vice-presi-dent of the Standard Com-munity Facility Enhance-ment Society.

“We’re just in the infancystages. We’re raising money,getting opinions, and hav-

ing a few public meetings.It recognized some of theolder people and the olderthings that were around atthat time, and maybe wecan just help to beautify thecommunity with it too.” The site stretches one ki-

lometers west from Hwy840, and used to containthe railway station, the Essoservice fertilizer dealership,and the grain elevators. The society hopes to re-

cruit more members, andhas already held a few pub-lic hearings, which they saidreceived a great turnout. Their next one is expectedto be held in the spring of2016.
