Holy smokes!A controlled re was set by the Strathmore Fire Department (SFD) on a property just north of the Wild-
ower Ranch early Oct. 26. Developer Ken Struss said he had tried to give the house away with the
stipulation that the new owners would move it. When no one was willing to take him up on the offer, he
gave permission for the SFD to use it for a training exercise. Shannon LeClair Photo

On Oct. 18 Reeve of Wheatland
County Ben Armstrong steppeddown from his role, nominatingCounillor Glenn Koester to takehis place. Councillor Alice Booth was also nominated for the role, but Koester was voted in with amajority vote.
Its another challenge for me,Im excited. Its nice to know youhave the support of your fellowcouncillors, thats a nice feeling initself, said Koester.
He has been with council forjust shy of nine years, and said thestaff is great to work with, and heloves working with the people inthe county.
Armstrong has been a memberof council for 20 years, eight of which have been as Reeve. Afterthe vote was in for Koester as newReeve, Armstrong was nominatedand voted into the deputy Reeveposition.
I dont have any ill feelingsabout it, and Im quite willing to work with Glenn and the rest ofcouncil. I cant see anything elseand I think its a positive move, andI think council will keep right ongoing, I think everything will runsmooth as it did before, if it ransmooth before, said Armstronglaughing.
The rest of council, theyre quite
capable of handling the job. Im juststepping back from it for awhile totake a break, (and) let somebodyelse run the show for awhile, getsome new ideas in there.Armstrong stated he is also con-
sidering running for a role in theAAMDC central zone election com-ing up this fall. He said he has been thinking about running forthe central zone director. Despitethat Armstrong said he has noplans of leaving council.
I still enjoy the job, being coun-cillor. Its a lot of pressure sittingthere in that position. It doesnthurt to step back a little bit.

Dwight Stanord has dedicated the last20 years to the town o Strathmore asthe Chie Administrative Ofcer (CAO).
This year Stanord was nominated oran Alberta Urban Municipalities Asso-
ciation (AUMA) and the Society o LocalGovernment Managers (SLGM) award. The award recognizes long-term ex-
cellence, dedication to municipal gov-ernment and chie administrative man-agement. On Sept. 7 Stanord was told atthe regular council meeting he had beenchosen to receive the 2011 DedicatedChie Administrative Ofcer Award.
It was a big surprise because Linda(Nelson) hadnt told me anything aboutit, and then when she mentioned it I
went, wow, said Stanord.Council had heard about the annual
award during the 2010 annual coner-ence and directed administration tonominate Stanord on their behal.
Linda Nelson, Deputy Chie Adminis-
trative Ofcer, completed the applica-tion and wrote a brie bio o Stanord
rom a personal perspective. Nelson hasworked with Stanord or 14 years andcredits him with helping her integrateinto her position with the town quickly.She has also ound him to be a greatmentor.
I ound out he was in the top twowhen I received a phone call asking or
a bio o Dwight rom a personal per-spective, said Nelson.I was told there were two individuals
who were both very deserving, and theywere looking or urther inormation toassist them in making a decision.
Standord was invited to the AUMApresidents dinner, on Sept. 27 at theHyatt Hotel, to accept his award. He
brought Councillors Rocky Bloklandand Bob Sobol, as well as amily, to thedinner.
I was really thrilled to be there. Isupported Dwight in the nominationprocess and certainly think he bringsa tremendous amount o wealth andknowledge and experience to the posi-tion that he holds, said Sobol.
Once youre in the political realm you understand how important that

CAO position really is and how manythings that Dwight on a daily basis a-cilitates and how many problems he ac-tually solves.
Sobol said many o the things Stan-ord works on might not be readilyseen, but that he is the workhorse thatkeeps things running smoothly.
I just want to thank council and thepast town councils or giving me theopportunity to work or the town, saidStanord.
Im proud o the town council wehave, Im proud o the citizens o Strath-more and the great support the citizenshave given me. Theres always a ew is-sues that come up, but overall the pub-
lic has been very supportive and I reallyappreciate that.

When East Wheatland armers wereasked what their thoughts were on therecent decisions o the ederal govern-ments decision to remove the monopolyeature or selling wheat, many respond-ed No comment. Not happy. Dont wantto jeopardize uture relations with neigh-
bors about expressing our opinions.Those who were or the newest legisla-
tion are the loudest and most outspokenabout the issue, touting its grandness. This recent decision came when the
governments legislation to make arm-ers sales to the Canadian Wheat Board
voluntary cleared another hurdle in theHouse o Commons Monday night, withMPs voting to send it to the next stageon its path through Parliament.The vote on second reading o the bill
Contentious issues over the selling of grain in Canadamoves it to committee, where MPs willhear witnesses discuss the legislation.It will then go back to the House ora third vote. I it makes it through theHouse, it moves on to the same processin the Senate.
Last week, the government moved timeallocation, limiting the number o daysor debate at this stage in the House. Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says
western Canadian armers shouldnt beorced to sell their grain through the
Wheat Board. NDP and Liberal MPs saythe wheat board is important or keep-ing prices air or armers, and ear largeagribusinesses will have an upper handin dealing with armers i the WheatBoard loses its monopoly.
Speaking in the House o Commonsbeore question period on Monday, NDPwheat board critic Pat Martin suggestedConservative MPs with a personal oramily business stake in prairie grainarming would be in a potential conicto interest should they vote in avor olegislation to end the boards monopoly.
I you believe the [agriculture] minis-ters supposition that Prairie armers willmake more money i they abolish theCanadian Wheat Board, then any Prairie
armer or any armer in the Conservativecaucus fnds himsel in a conict o in-terest and thereore is both duty-boundand honor-bound to recuse himsel not
just rom the vote but rom any de-bate that promotes the abolition o the wheat board, Martin said, reerring tothe conict-o-interest code or MPs.You cant have it both ways.
East Wheatland resident Ray Schultz,a third generation armer northeast oStandard says that not many are awareo the entire issue at hand. Schultzsgrandather bought the land in 1928and then it went to his Father Buster
and mother Margaret beore being trans-erred to brothers Francis and Raymond.
According to Schultz his bottom line wasMy grainmy choice where to sell itmy rightsmy wheat, and it all comesdown to reedom.The Federal Government is only try-
ing to regulate those grains or humanconsumption being durum, barley and
wheat to market internationally. Allother grains or things like animal eed,armers can choose to do whatever they
want in selling their product.Hussar long time armer DarrellStokes makes no bones about where hestands on the issue at hand. He passion-ately said, Quite rankly the Conserva-tive Government needs to get out o the
Wheat Boards business. He is not inavour o the Governments decision todissolve a 75-year-old institution andgive away the control to huge inter-national monopolies. Those who thinkthat they can operate within a dual sys-tem are ooling themselves because it
will never work. The huge grain compa-nies are going to monopolize the smallarmers and it will all come down tomoney in the end.
Leigh Christensen a ourth generation
armer in the Standard area says, I ap-preciate the uncertainty that comes withchange or some producers, but there isnothing special about wheat or barleymarketing that requires intervention osales management. The new CWB hasno inrastructural assets (elevators andterminals) to handle and ship grain. Ithey can live up to their (unaudited)claim o extracting a premium rom themarket and align themselves with a ship-per, then they have a chance o survival.
Time will tell.So as ar as the issue goes the consen-
sus on both sides is that Time will tell.

Chamber honours local businessesShannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
The Strathmore and District Cham- ber of Commerce held their annualBusiness Awards night on Oct. 20 atthe Strathmore Travelodge.
It was a good night. I think every- body had a good time, people hungaround afterwards, said Marcy Fieldwith the Chamber.
(There was) lots of great network-ing happening and building of rela-tionships which is what the Chamberis about, and giving back to the com-munity. This year there was 35 businesses
nominated everyone but the judgeswere surprised by the winners.
The Business of the Year winnerswere Fuel Automotive and AccessoriesInc. for the small business enterprise,M&M Meat Shops won the for the me-dium enterprise, and Strathmore HomeHardware for the large enterprise cat-egory. This year the Community Spirit
Award was split into two categories,one for a business and one for an orga-nization. The winners of these awardswere Boston Pizza and Junior Achieve-ment Southern Alberta.Another new award this year was the
Employer of Choice award, in which
people were asked to nominate theircompany if they thought they had thebest boss. Gregory Harriman and As-sociates was picked as the Employerof Choice. Daisy Does Recycling wasvoted in as the Emerging Entrepreneurfor the year, and the Strathmore Timesis your Chamber Member of the Year.
It went very well. It was a very goodevening, said Field.
Field said the Chamber will be incharge of whatever happens movingforward, but suspects the BusinessAwards will continue for years to come.
Last year was the rst year for theevent, which saw 23 businesses nomi-nated and ve awards presented.

Winter is quickly approaching,which means it is time to once againpull out, or buy, winter outdoor gearsuch as coats, toques and mitts. Un-fortunately some people may not have winter clothes or the money to pur-chase them.Thats where Wheatland Family and
Community Support Services, FCSS,comes in. In 2003 FCSS took over theCommunity Coats project.
We took it over because if we hadnttaken it over at the time, it would have been gone, said Susan Gates withWheatland FCSS.
The agency that was doing itcouldnt do it any longer because ofspacewe just happened to be luckythat we work with other groups likeChristmas hamper (society) and they
have a storage place. We could storeour racks and things with them.From October until the end of Janu-
ary FCSS accepts donations of anythingto do with winter outdoor wear. They
collect items like gently used wintercoats, hats, boots, mitts, and scarvesfor adults and children.
We have it out in the foyer of the building so its accessible Monday toSaturday, said Gates.
People can drop their gently useditems off in the respective spot in thefoyer, hanging up the coats. Or those who are in need of winter outdooritems can rummage through whatsavailable to nd something for them-selves.The items used to be in the board-
room in the FCSS section of the build-ing but board meetings had the itemsclosed off from people for short peri-ods of time.
This I think works a little better forsome people, because I think theyreuncomfortable with the fact that theyhave to do that in the rst place. Sowhen its out there nobody is watching
over their shoulder, said Gates.We do literally go through hundredsof coats. Some years are better thanothers, some years the need is greaterthan the supply and demand.
Helping people stay warm this winter
Any items that are left at the end ofJanuary are bagged up and donated tothe Canadian Diabetes Association inCalgary, and the Calgary Cerebral PalsyAssociation. Anyone interested in do-nating, or in need of warm outdoor
clothing, can go to 85 Lakeside Blvdbetween 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, oron Saturdays. You can also contact Su-san Gates at 403-934-5335 or [email protected]
There were eight local
businesses presented
with awards at the annual
Strathmore and DistrictChamber of Commerce
Business Awards cer-
emony on Oct. 20.

In a situation where a Search and Rescue (SAR)team is needed, Wheatland County could be wait-ing for hours for one to come from Red Deer,Calgary, or Brooks.
Scott Campbell, a Rockyford resident and vol-unteer reghter, was looking at his 19-month-old son oneday thinking about that and decidedto do something about it.
He thought it was time to start up a BadlandsSAR team for Wheatland County and surroundingareas that need it.
Campbell, representatives of Calgary SAR, RedDeer SAR and Bruce Marshall, the SAR AlbertaSouth Central Director, were at Global TrainingCentre (GTC) to discuss beginning the BadlandsSAR on Oct. 15.
Its going to take awhile before were actuallyup and ready to go, said Campbell.
The real thing is that, theres a real need forvolunteers to help out with search and rescue inthe Badlands of Alberta because there is a hole inthe coverage. Its not a matter of if something isgoing to happen, its a matter of when and howbad.
Everyone at the meeting was supportive ofCampbell and agreed there is a hole in the cov-erage but warned him it can be tough to get the
help needed to start the initiative.Don Shelley, former owner of Global Training
Centre, said he thinks Campbell has the right mo-tivation and there may be something GTC can doto help get it off the ground.
Campbell is looking for 20 to 40 people tobe able to really get the Badlands SAR off theground. Not only does he need volunteers to beinvolved in the search and rescue side of things,he needs help fundraising.
Im also looking for people that want to get in-volved in fundraising and awareness, said Camp-bell.
Theres a lot of people that want to get in-
volved with search and rescue but theyre notable to be involved in the actual physical, butthey want to help out. It is going to be a chal-lenge to raise volunteers, part of the advantagefor us is were going to be looking for peoplebeyond Strathmore.
Campbell said they are looking for people whoare committed, are mentally and physically t,are team players and are able to handle the job.He said every search is an emergency, and forpeople who are involved with SAR long enough,they will eventually deal with nding a deceasedperson. To nd out more information, or to join the
Badlands SAR contact Campbell at [email protected]

Many residents of Langdonwere able to get their pump-kins while supporting theirlocal food bank on Oct. 22
at the third annual PumpkinPatch Giveaway.People were asked to do-
nate a minimum of $2, andto only take two pumpkinsper family. The money raised,$806, was donated to thesoutheast Rocky View FoodBank.
So many fundraisers aredone, food drives especially,for the food bank and I knowthat so many people need awhole lot more than cans ofsoup and jars of pasta sauce,said organizer Jill Beaton.
They need to be able to
buy milk and produce andfresh stuff. I know the south-east Rocky View Food Bankbank account is usually pret-ty low because a lot of peopledont want to give cash to thefood bank. Its just a differentway of raising something elsethat they need.
Beaton said the event issomething people in the com-munity have begun to lookforward too, and last year itonly took an hour for all ofthe pumpkins to be sold out. This year Beaton bought
approximately 300 pumpkinsfrom a Superstore in Calgary,the same one she has goneto in the past. She said she ishoping to keep it an annualevent, but said it depends onif she is able to get the quan-tities she needs.

Laurie Blake from Hanna came to talk farm safety with the students
at Trinity Lutheran Christian Academy Oct. 25. The importance of
being safe around farm equipment and animals is a message we can
all benet from. Over 4,000 children were injured in quad related ac-
cidents last year alone. The kids were taught safety rst, and thenyou can have fun.

Letters to the editor
To the EditorRe: Conversation required- Strathmore Times -
Oct.14I agree with Mr. J. Anglin that Premier Redord
needs to Repeal Bill 50 and discuss Energy sectorimpact on Alberta consumers. By consumers, I meanhome and arm owners, not Big industry consumers,
who receive billion dollar profts rom their energy
consumption.A 14 page, color, glossy pamphlet called PoweringAlbertans (AESO vol.5, Issue 2) arrived with my junkmail the other day. It was AESOs, public relations at-tempt to explain to Albertans, why we must pay moreor power both when there was too little and too muchenergy generated, as well as accepting the projected
Transmission lines crisscrossing our good armland.On Page 8, Aeso states that Upgrades are neces-
sary to service increasing demand and account or thepower requirements o major oil production acilitiesin the Northeast and (Page 10) that the oilsands havehundreds o billions o dollars in capital investmentat stake. Not to mention the orestry and gas develop-ment in the Peace region which will lead to increaseddemand or electricity over the next decade.The oversupply o new generation projects, such
as wind arms in the south means that new marketscan sell to other provinces and over the border con-
sumers as well. There was no mention o an initiativein Eastern Canada by Real Energy, o providing ree
solar panels to householders, which would pay theirmonthly power bills and also produce power to sell
back to the grid. An initiative like that could make aconsiderable dent in some big business pocket book.
My question is why householders have to pay in-creased costs to service the needs o big businessconsumers. This doesnt even address the continuedescalation in energy and heating prices that appear
on our monthly utility bills, through unrestricted rateriders and waivers o tax taris.Will the provincial government continue to cater
to big business and big energy consumers/produc-ers ignoring the excessive burdens placed on homeowners, small businessmen and armers? Let the big
businesses oat the cost o upgrades to supply theirdemand and profts. It also does not address the righto land owners to determine what happens on theirown property.
I am thinking we need to shit the Occupy WallStreet protests to the Parliament buildings. I thatdoesnt work, Albertans need to support candidatesin the next election, who will repeal Bill 50 and ad-dress the escalating energy costs to its voters. Doesntit seem ironic that the rich resources under the eet oevery Albertan always leads to increased prices andprofts to some corporations bottom line?

To the EditorRe: Standing up to criminals Parliamentary Report;
Strathmore Times, October 14, 2011Mr. Sorenson:
Average Joe Canuck, tax-paying eligible voter here.I have a high school education and a correspondinglylow-paying job. I watch the CFL, enjoy a ew beers
with riends on the weekend, and, like most Canadi-ans, try to do the best I can with what I have.
I have a couple o issues regarding Bill C-10.Now, Im all or sae streets and communities. Im a
husband, ather, and grandather, and again, like mostCanadians I dont want any o my amily or riends to
be victims o crime.Bill C-10, however, is not the way.Firstly, building more prisons does not reduce crime
or act as a deterrent. It just creates more prisoners.We already have too many prisoners, at much too
high a cost to tax-payers. Treatment programs have
been proven to reduce crime, rehabilitate people andcost ar less than building more prisons.
Secondly, mandatory minimum sentencing does notreduce crime or act as a deterrent. Mandatory mini-mums have the same eects as building more prisons more prisoners, more cost to tax-payers.
Both o these approaches have been tried, and bothhave been ineective in reducing or deterring crime.
Bill C-10, in its current orm, is a bad bill. I (aver-age Joe Canuck, tax-paying eligible voter) know it.
The Opposition knows it thats why they dont sup-port it. Even Texas conservatives (http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/10/17/po l-vp-milewski-tex-
as-crime.html) know it.Lastly: grizzly is a very large bear; grisly (adj)
means causing horror, disgust, or ear.Youre welcome.

Halloweens
historyHalloween is a popular holiday
that takes place on October 31.Children dress in costumes and go
trick-or-treating. Many people carvejack-o-lanterns out of pumpkins.
Halloween parties for childrenfeature fortunetelling, mock haunted
houses, scary stories, and games,such as bobbing for apples. People
decorate their houses and yards withimages of ghosts, skeletons, witches,
black cats, bats, and other symbols
of Halloween.Halloween developed from an
ancient pagan festival celebrated by
Celtic people over 2,000 years agoin the area that is now the United
Kingdom, Ireland, and northwesternFrance. The festival was called
Samhain (pronounced SOW ehn),which means summers end. The
festival marked the beginning ofthe dark winter season and was
celebrated around November 1.In the 800s, the Christian church
established a new holiday, All SaintsDay, on this date. All Saints Day
was also called All Hallows. Hallowmeans saint, or one who is holy. The
evening before All Hallows wasknown as All Hallows Eve, or as it
came to be abbreviated, All Halloween. This name was eventually
shortened to Halloween.It was once common for people
to leave food out on a table as atreat for spirits believed to be about
on Halloween. In England, peoplewent house-to-house souling
that is, asking for small breadscalled soul cakes in exchange for
prayers. In some areas of the United
Kingdom and Ireland, people wentmumming (parading in masks) onmany holidays, including Halloween.
Groups of masked adults would godoor-to-door asking for food and
drink in return for a performanceor song. Dressing in costume and
asking for food or money was donein England on Guy Fawkes Day
(November 5).Today, trick-or-treating is the main
Halloween activity for children.Young people wear costumes and
go from door to door saying trickor treat! Costumes range from
simple homemade disguises toelaborate store-bought likenesses
of characters from cartoons, motionpictures, and television. Costumes
of ghosts, witches, devils, andother mysterious creatures are
also popular. The neighbors, toavoid having tricks played on them,
give the children candy and othertreats. Children carry bags or plastic
buckets to collect the candy.

Parliamentary Report
On Monday of last week in Acme, Ihosted the Press Conference of my Cab-inet colleague, the Honourable GerryRitz, Minister for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Minister for the Ca-nadian Wheat Board. The Minister wasannouncing that legislation to eliminatethe single-desk marketing of wheat and
barley, Bill C-18 would be tabled inthe House of Commons the next day.
We were at the farm owned and oper-ated by Matt Sawyer, Chairman of the
Alberta Barley Commission, and hiswife Tara. Doug McBain from the Bar-ley Growers and Kevin Bender from the
Wheat Growers also attended.Our Government remains focused
on completing the economic recovery,emphasizing the importance of job cre-ation and economic growth. Earlier this
year, we received a strong majority man-date from Canadians, and Western Ca-nadians specically, to follow throughon our election commitments. As I amsure everyone knows, this includes pro-
viding Western Canadian wheat andbarley farmers with marketing freedom- the same marketing freedom as farm-ers have in other parts of Canada andaround the world.
Canadas agriculture sector is criticalto our jobs and our growth in this coun-try. Canadas farmers and food proces-sors drive over thirty-ve billion dollars($35.6B) of our exports and generate
one in every eight Canadian jobs. TheCanadian grain sector alone brings oversixteen billion dollars ($16B) to thefarm gate and is a major contributor toour economy. In fact, our agricultureindustry has helped Canada lead theway out of the global economic down-turn. Today, Viterra and Cargill are thetwo largest exporters of Canadian grainwith the Canadian Wheat Board beingthird. As evidenced by the tremendous
growth in the canola and pulse indus-
tries, todays entrepreneurial farmersare proving over and over that they have
what it takes to succeed when they are
in control of all aspects of their farmingbusiness. Our government has consultedwith stakeholders from across the valuechain, including commodity groups,associations and Canadian businesses,
who all see opportunities for growthwhen marketing freedom is implement-ed. Most importantly, we have listenedto individual farmers who just want thechance to succeed by being able to selltheir wheat, durum and barley at thetime and to the buyer of their choice.
The Governments of Alberta, Saskatche-wan and British Columbia, representingfarmers who produce approximately 80per cent of wheat and 90 per cent of
barley in western Canada, support the
move to marketing freedom.Bill C-18 will: provide farmers withthe choice of whether to sell on anopen market or through a voluntary Ca-nadian Wheat Board; immediately allowfarmers and companies to forward con-tracts for the delivery of grain after Au-gust 1, 2012; and, allow an interim CWBto act as a voluntary marketing entity,supported by our Government, while ittransitions to full private ownership.
In addition to the legislation, ourGovernment will: ensure the availabil-ity of producer cars as well as the over-all security of the grain handling andtransportation system in a marketingfreedom environment; and, ensure thatthe Port of Churchill continues to be an
important Northern shipping port withadditional economic incentives. An open market attracts investment,
encourages innovation, and createsvalue-added jobs as well as opportunityfor growth and a stronger economy.

Inspired by the 1940s and 1950s eraof old fashioned lms, Aspen Cross-ing, the recent 2011 Rural TourismChampion, presents their Halloween
production, Train of the Dead. TheDinner Theatre allows the audience toenjoy an elegant 3 course meal, whiletaking in the live performance whichsurrounds them, inside of an 1887Pullman Rail Car which was once usedby former Prime Minister John Diefen-baker. Guests are encouraged to askthe characters questions and get in-volved in the show, making it a moreof an interactive experience.The story follows Kate, a dedicated
archaeologist whos been obsessedwith nding Cleopatras tomb and suc-ceeds in her efforts. As Kate and thediscovered remains make their wayby train across Canada, the questionof was the tomb cursed? arises. Thedrama thriller, unlike previous shows,does not ask the audience to try andgure out the mystery as it happensright in front of them.
Gail Whiteford, writer of Train ofthe Dead as well as many other As-pen Crossing productions, said thatinspiration came from reading an ar-ticle in National Geographic about awoman whose life aspiration is to ndCleopatras tomb. It was not until Whit-
eford began writing the play that sherealized that the old fashioned thrillermovie evolved. Building on the silverscreen theme, all of the characters cos-tumes will be mostly black and white.
I love those old movies, so I thinkit was timely needed to have a classic
black and white movie. Its highly overdramatic with all of those poses, overthe top acting styles with almost go-ing to melodrama but not quite, saidWhiteford.
While attending Aspen CrossingsDinner Theatre, guests will not haveto worry about not being able to en-joy their meals and drinks as intermis-sions will be scattered throughout theshow, timed to give a break for eachcourse.
We sort of feel the cooks are justas much artists as we are, so the au-dience should really get a chance toenjoy the incredible food out there,said Whiteford.Aspen Crossings Dinner Theatre is
near the end of their second season,and they anticipate another successfulve show season the following year.For businesses who are looking to dosomething different at their companyChristmas party, Whiteford says AspenCrossing can base their theatre pro-duction on the particular crowd.
For example, we did Vulcan thisyear for Vulcan Days. We did a wholeshow based on Star Trek, so we can
Cleopatras tomb found at Aspen CrossingsDinner and Theatre
tailor and make a script for any crowd,said Whiteford.
For groups who wish to extend theirstay, the company can also provideroom and board in their 1949 Cana-dian Pacic Caboose cabin thats ren-ovated into a camper and sleeps 4-5
people, has a kitchen, a bathroom, areplace, a at screen TV. Groups whowish to put off the drive home for thenext day can book the caboose by call-ing ahead and making a reservation.
Keeping in mind that the train carseats only 38, Whiteford says ticketsdo tend to sell out quickly, but ticketsto Train of the Dead are still availableas well as tickets to their Novemberand Christmas productions. The rstweek of Train of the Dead runs fromOct. 26-29 and Nov. 2-5 in the sec-ond week. Wednesday and Thursdayshows are priced at $55 and the Fridayand Saturday shows are priced at $65.The shows are scheduled to begin at6 p.m.To book tickets to Train of the Dead

Albertas Fire Prevention and Aware-ness week took place all over theprovince from Oct. 9 through to the15. Many re departments took part inmaking their respective communitiesmore aware of safety procedures andservices from their departments.The Standard Fire Department went
all out in their community by involv-ing the elementary school students ina hands-on view and tour of their retruck. They arrived at the school earlyin the week and showed the studentsall the different parts of their equip-ment and answered questions. Volun-teers Kevin Bardi, Keenan Hauck, andMalcolm McKinnon donned their suitsand helmets in the warm fall sun toshow the kids. The Kindergarten classalong with students in Grades One andTwo also had the opportunity to spraythe hose and feel how much strength ittook to hold the equipment.
Bardi told the kids how importantit was that they know their addresses,especially those who were from thecountry, that they should post theirlegal land description by their tele-phones for easy access. The students were told how to leave their homessafely, and if they couldnt, to makesure that the re ghters knew wherethey were in their homes by shoutingHere I am, please help me!
Many of the kids knew the basics, but addresses and when to changebatteries for smoke detectors were iffy. They were told that smoke detectorsshould be tested at least once a month
and batteries changed every year. All of the elementary students are
also participating in a province-widecontest with regards to re safety andprevention. Some of the requirementsof the contest include the making ofHome Fire Escape Plans and practicingre drills in their homes. The studentswere excited with all the informationand many had already taken part indoing these exercises with their par-ents and siblings.The volunteer remen also told the
students that it was important to knowhow to properly and safely leave theschool in case of a re or an emergen-cy.
On Friday the re alarm was pulledat the school and the re ghters ar-rived with sirens blaring and lightsashing. All the students had evacu-ated the school building and were be-ing accounted for by their respectiveteachers. The re team did an authen-tic mock drill with a scenario of are within the school. They donnedtheir breathing masks, suits and hel-mets and went through their protocolbefore declaring that the building wassafe to be entered again.
Both the school administration andstaff along with the re department arealready making plans for a table talkabout how they can improve evacu-ation and awareness to students andstaff. They will try another surprisemock drill in the spring of next year.
As part of Fire Prevention week,the Standard Fire Department gave afree smoke alarm to each family withstudents in Kindergarten through toGrade 2.

On November 4 the Community Cri-sis Society and students in the com-munity will be delivering 150 rosesto businesses in town. Paul Thomas
with the Crisis Society said Novemberis Family Violence Prevention month,
which is why the roses are deliveredand displayed in local businesses.
The kids from Storefront schoolhelp us almost every year, and the lastcouple years Ive been getting a fewother kids from different schools, justso more kids get the opportunity todo it, said Thomas.
We basically want to raise aware-ness, because November is Pro-claimed the Prevention of Family of
Violence Month in the province of Al-berta. Thats what we do at the shel-
ter, we try to do that every year. Itsgreat getting the kids involved andthey are always really eager to do it.
To get the roses all out it usually takesus a full morning to do it.Thomas said he and the kids drop
off roses and cards to be displayedin local businesses. The cards explainthat the roses are for the men, wom-
en, and children in Alberta who havedied victims of domestic violence.
Family Violence Prevention Monthbegan in 1986 in Hinton, Alberta, af-ter concerned residents began a edu-cation and prevention campaign. Theeffort reached the ears of the AlbertaLegislature, who support the cam-paign as a provincial initiative, and todate hundreds of Alberta communi-ties are actively involved in trying toprevent family violence through edu-cation.

ent. Ive always loved the water and Ithought it would be kind of cool to goto the west coast, said Taplin.
It was great actually, such an expe-rience.Taplin heard about the new schol-
arship, created last year by Brett Wil-son and the Prairie Merchant Corpora-tion, a few days before the applicationdeadline. She had to write an essayoutlining why she thought an Out-
ward Bound trip would benet her.In the essay she talked about her
love for adventure, nature and meet-ing new people, and said she thought
it seemed perfect for her.Being outside in nature for so long
can really bring you back to who youare. Theres no drama, no outside
world drama. Its kind of keeping itreal the whole time, said Taplin.
Its just such an experience. I justcame back with a whole new appreci-ationlike I wouldnt say a complete-ly new outlook on life, but in a way itis. Its different being out there and itkind of brings you back to the basicsand whats important in life, but reallyit was just really cool. Taplin is happy to have made new
friends across the country, and said ifshe had a chance to go on an Outward
Bound trip again she would go to Ec-uador.
Zombies takeover CalgaryShannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
On October 15 zombies took overStephen Ave. in downtown Calgary,and Strathmore resident James Bos
was one of them. This was the sixthannual zombie walk, though it was therst time Bos had participated.
What a great time, over a 100 peo-ple showed up, and some great cos-tumes. It was everything I wanted todo and more, said Bos.
The best part of the zombie walk
was the making of friends that sharethe same love for this genre, said Bos.Its something about the simplicity
of the living dead that you can scarepeople with what you look like and
walk and act, that is why I think itsmaking a comeback and becomingmore and more popular. Anyone cando it, from 10-years-old to 90, all youneed is a little blood around the mouthand bang you are the living dead.
Bos favourite horror movie produc-er is George A. Romero who createdNight of the Living Dead.
I enjoy a great classic horror andsome of the newer horror. I love boththe graphic novels and the T.V. show
The Walking Dead, and Max Brooks
Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z,great reading.Again the zombie genre is just one
of the simplest yet scarier (types of)horror out there. It is us, it is the wayhumans are in the simplest forms,thats why I and others love it.
Bos has also been participating thelming of the Dead Mile, which tellsthe story of a zombie outbreak onCalgary streets, and is written, pro-duced and directed by Calgarian K.J.Kleefeld.
