Hearing on low-

A public hearing on a proposed bylaw

ing a last-minute letter of opposition by a
Wheatland County member of town staff.
(as of September 8, 2020) The proposed bylaw would consolidate
four low-density land use districts – sin-

district. The bylaw passed first reading by
Strathmore town council during its regular
meeting on July 22, and a public hearing
was scheduled for Sept. 2, but was later
postponed.
“Staff are proposing this bylaw because
we believe that having one consolidated
district with all those low density uses
will allow developers to effectively react
to the market changes that are occurring
very regularly right now,” said Cameron
Thompson, a planner with the town.
If the consolidated district is approved,
developers could change the use of what
they are building (e.g. single detached
housing to a duplex or semi-detached
housing) without having to proceed

Wheatland County council in brief
Information from Wheatland County Council Regular Meeting - Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2020

CANNABIS REGULATIONS
UPDATED
Council voted to amend the county’s land use
bylaws to change some rules and definitions re-
garding cannabis production. The third reading
of the bylaw passed 4-3, with Reeve Amber Link,
Deputy Reeve Scott Klassen and Division 1 Coun-
cillor Jason Wilson voting in opposition.
Some of the restrictions regarding siting and
operations were relaxed. Setback requirements
were reduced from 500 metres (m) to 150 m for
schools, daycares and other establishments in-
volving childcare. Though the required setback of
100 m for dwellings remains unchanged, it is now
measured from the boundary of the proposed de-
velopment, rather than the property line, as previ-
ously.
The changes open up more of Wheatland Coun-
ty to non-retail cannabis businesses. Previously,
cannabis production facilities could be sited only
within the Highway 1 West Area (an industrial area
located along the south side of Highway 1, west
of Strathmore), but this restriction was removed.
Established was a new land use – cannabis cul-
tivation – meaning lands, buildings or structures
for growing cannabis only (no onsite processing,
packaging, testing, etc.). The land use bylaws now
allow cultivation as a discretionary use in agri-
cultural general and rural business districts, and
as a permitted use in industrial general districts
throughout the county.
The opposition to the changes partly related
to how they would affect how issues associated
proposed cultivation operations are addressed by
council. While discretionary uses require a devel-
opment permit, through which conditions can be
added, the decision is appealable, said Wilson. “I
think we should be mitigating the problems ahead
of time, rather than at the (development permit)
point,” he said.
Link agreed. “That’s my reservation as well – the
fact that we could take into account potential nui-
sances at the (development permit) stage, but it is
the appeal ability of it that is concerning for me,”
she noted.
Walking to support veterans
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
For three years Canadians have participated
in walks across the nation in support of veter-
ans. And for the first time, the event is coming to
Strathmore on Sept. 26 in a virtual format.
Unable to be held in Calgary this year because
of COVID-19, a local supporter of the Canadian
Walk For Veterans (CWFV) took it into his own
hands to reach out to the national organizer to see
if a walk in Strathmore would be of benefit.
“I feel it is important to continue to spread the
interest and support for our veterans, along with
first responders that do a great job every day,” said
retired Sgt. Jeffery Warne, a veteran of 28 years
and organizer for the Strathmore CWFV.
With the motto of “walking virtually shoulder
to shoulder” leading this year’s charge, the walk
is taking a different format across the country. As
the inaugural CWFV walk in Strathmore, every-
thing is new, but Warne hopes for a good turnout.
“I do not have a goal for the first year (of the
walk) here, but I am hoping for a fair turnout,”
said Warne, who added it’s an important event to
support. He “discussed with my brothers and sis-

“I’m definitely not opposed to this at all – T1P 0H3
I know the community wants this – but (with)
that frontage along (Range Road) 264, there has
been some discussion about future development
of that,” said Klassen. “I’d hate to hinder that by
putting this there.” The proposed site also lacks
parking, he added.
Administration also considered a site located
west of The Mercantile at Muirfield, behind the
community post boxes, but this area was deemed
to potentially have drainage and water issues.
Second reading of the bylaw was deferred,
which will occur after Klassen discusses siting
with county staff and consults with residents.
“We’ll get it figured out,” he said.
PROPOSAL FOR NEW RESIDENCES
AT MOUNTAIN VIEW
Council moved first reading of a bylaw to es-
tablish a new direct control district to allow an
increase in residential density at the Mountain
View Hutterite Colony. The colony is proposing
the construction of a new multi-unit dwelling. The
proposed direct control district would limit the
number of multi-unit dwellings (or townhouses)
to five in the parcel.
Wilson voted in opposition, after citing unequal
treatment of county residents. “We have a rule that
if we have more than four parcels on a quarter
section – which could (be) five parcels on a quar-
ter section (with) two houses each, which is 10
houses (and) 10 families – they’re mandated to
have servicing,” he said. “I just don’t know why
we have that rule, but we allow communities of
200 residents to pop up, and we don’t make them
tie into regional water and wastewater.”
ters in the forces (and) we feel this is an important
tradition to carry on and support, and I know this
town has support for a lot of things.”
The theme for the walk this year has shifted to
“what is in the hearts of all of us in these difficult
times” and that “service, sacrifice and selflessness
are the tenets of the best,” which is why the walk
this year is highlighted by the contributions made
by those who choose to give of themselves even
when times are hard. The walk this year is dedi-
cated to the military, veterans, first responders,
civil servants and every essential frontline worker
across the nation.
On Sept. 26, registrants are being asked to meet
at the small parking lot by Gray’s Park before 11
a.m. and will walk, run or bike around the green
space and pond, a distance of about four kilome-
tres.
Registration is open to anyone and the cost is
$20 per person or $60 per family; cadets pay $10
and children 12 and under are free. Pledges are
not required to participate, and every participant
will receive a special edition memento coin.

SOLAR PROJECT FOR MUNICIPAL BUILDING
CANCELLED
Strathmore town council voted not to proceed with the
solar panel project for the town’s new municipal building,
following a recommendation by administration.
The project was intended to be funded in part through a
grant from the Alberta Municipal Solar Program, an initiative
by the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre. But even
if the town received the grant, which was not certain, the
investment would require an eight- to 10-year payback on
the cost of the solar panels, according to Doug Lagore, the
town’s acting chief administrative officer.
A sunny future is still possible, however – the building is
designed such that the panels could be added if funds or
new technology becomes available, he reported.
FIVE-YEAR RCMP FINANCIAL PLAN PRESENTED
The RCMP’s multi-year financial plan (2021-2026) for the
Strathmore municipal detachment was presented to council.
In Strathmore, the current ratio of police officers available
to respond to calls is one member per 1,033 residents, which
is above the average for municipalities across Alberta with
a similar population (between 10,000 and 19,999 residents),
according to the plan.
The plan proposes incremental staffing increases of two
regular members, one in 2021-22 financial year and one in
2023-24, and an additional municipal employee. It proposes
the addition of a criminal analyst that would “facilitate intel-
ligence-led focus towards identifying emerging crime trends
and transient criminals.”
This extra staffing would cost the town an extra $300,000
by 2023, in addition to normal cost increases. The increased
financial resources being requested would cause municipal
taxes to increase by 2.2 per cent, reported Mel Tiede, the
town’s director of corporate services. The funding will be
discussed during the town’s upcoming operating budget
talks, which have been proposed for Sept. 30, 2020.
CIVIC CENTRE JOINT USE AGREEMENT APPROVED
Town council approved the joint use agreement between
the Town of Strathmore and Golden Hills School Division

Under the agreement, GHSD has exclusive access to com-
mon facilities at no cost during school hours and has first
rights to book common facilities within 30 days’ notice at no
cost during non-school hours but must work cooperatively
with the town. The agreement also covers such things as rev-

restriction be lifted
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
A group of local physicians and representatives of the
Town of Strathmore are requesting that provincial rules be
changed to allow wider provision of remotely supervised
medical imaging services in town.
Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-
ray, are used to provide visual representations of interior
structures within people’s bodies. While imaging itself can
be performed by a technologist, these techniques require a
physician, typically a radiologist, to interpret the image and
provide diagnosis and direct treatment.
A newer technique is teleradiology, in which the images
are captured remotely in one location, then sent to another
location where they are interpreted. One prominent type of
teleradiology is remotely supervised ultrasound, which has
wide application, is relatively low-cost compared to other
imaging techniques and is of minimal risk, as it uses sound
waves rather than radiation to generate images.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA)
establishes medical standards and guidelines, including those
for diagnostic imaging that establish how these techniques
can be used throughout the province. One rule therein is
that the approval of remote ultrasound interpretation and
supervision is restricted to communities located more than
100 kilometres from an urban centre.
The intent of the restriction is to ensure the highest qual-
ity of care for patients (while balancing access to care), as
on-site interpretation and supervision by an imaging special-
ist remains the gold standard for ultrasound provision, ex-
plained Jessica McPhee, CPSA’s director of communications.
Strathmore Hospital can perform teleradiology, specifi-
cally remotely supervised ultrasound, through its emergency
department because it was grandfathered in, and thus by-
passes this restriction, explained Dr. Ward Fanning, a local
physician. But the provision of teleradiology services there
is “very spotty,” he said. “We’ve been left high and dry many
ing a letter to Tyler Shandro, Alberta’s minister of health, to
ask the province to address the matter with the CPSA. This
letter was accepted for information by town council during
its regular meeting on Sept. 2.
Having teleradiology facilities in Strathmore would reduce
wait times, improve quality of health care for rural patients,
and would alleviate pressure on the emergency department
at the Strathmore Hospital, the letter asserts.
The letter also affirms that offering remote ultrasound
close to home reduces patient anxiety and is more efficient
and cost-effective.
“If somebody comes into emergency, and has a simple
gallstone or kidney stone, we have to spend hundreds of
dollars to ship them into Calgary by ambulance to get the
ultrasound and ship them back,” said Fanning.
Furthermore, given the COVID-19 pandemic, the restric-
tion means vulnerable patients must travel from areas of low
rates of infection, such as Strathmore, to places where infec-
tion risk is higher, such as Calgary, the letter states.
The issue has been on the town’s radar for some time. The
Town of Strathmore created a resolution at the 2019 Alberta
Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) convention, asking
the Alberta government to address the restriction with CPSA.
The motion passed with 92 per cent of member constituen-
cies in support.
“This is not a new proposal by any means,” said Fanning.
CPSA is currently reviewing its standards, which includes
considering feedback it attained from stakeholder consulta-
tion that ended in January 2020. The review was sidelined by
COVID-19, but is now restarting, and any further proposed
revisions will be distributed for additional stakeholder con-
sultation, said the CPSA’s McPhee.

Virtual concert next week at ag grounds

SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Strathmore will be rocking next Saturday, to the
benefit of the local food bank.
Sounds of the Prairies, a drive-in concert experi-
ence, is being held at the Strathmore ag grounds at
8 p.m. on Sept. 19. The concert will feature virtual
performances by four bands: Blake Reid Band,
Lewis & Royal, LOCALS and Over The Moon.
The event is being hosted by the Strathmore
Musical Arts Society in conjunction with the
Strathmore Wheatland Chamber of Commerce,
the Town of Strathmore and the Strathmore and
District Agricultural Society.
“There will be some really good music to hope-
fully get people upbeat,” said Shawn Kisling, exec-
utive director of the chamber. “We’re seeing a lot
of these concert experiences happening all over
North America, so it’s great to have one here in
Strathmore.”
The grounds can accommodate up to 300 ve-
hicles, on a first-come first-served basis. Admis-
sion is a donation to the Wheatland County Food
Bank, either by providing a non-perishable item
or a small cash contribution.

Strathmore targeted for new continuing care funding

SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Strathmore could expand its continuing care capac-
ity following a funding announcement by the provin-
cial government.
Alberta Health Services (AHS) is requesting propos-
als from new and existing continuing care operators
to provide new publicly-funding spaces not requiring
additional capital investment, it was announced on
Sept. 1. Continuing care is a term encompassing home
care, supportive living, long-term care, and hospice
and end-of-life care.
The average wait for a move into a continuing care
facility in Alberta was 54 days in 2019-20. There are
400 Albertans waiting in acute care for a spot in con-
tinuing care, according to a provincial government
news release.
Strathmore is listed as one of 31 Alberta commu-
nities most in need of continuing care spaces based
on current and projected demand and supply, demo-
graphics and health-care utilization. Interested opera-
tors can submit proposals through an expression of
interest process if they have capacity to operate new
continuing care spaces, under contract with AHS.
However, Meadowlark Senior Care Home would not
qualify for the funding, said its owner and operator,
Debbie Wakelam, in an email. AgeCare Sagewood was
contacted regarding the organization’s eligibility, but
no response was provided.
Wheatland Housing Management Board (WHMB)
will discuss the funding announcement at its next
board meeting, said chairperson Glenn Koester.
“We do not know if (it) will work out, because there
is no capital funding attached to this,” said Town
of Strathmore Councillor Denise Peterson, another
WHMB member, during the town’s Sept. 2 council
meeting. “But we do believe that there are opportuni-
ties for our community in this process.”

www.alisawurz.com but there are certainly pockets here and
there that I would say it’s a conserva-

Mule deer populations in the west
central, mountain and foothills wildlife
management units (WMU) are report-
edly declining. In response, the prov-
ince may adjust some hunting seasons
or tag allocations, he said.
“The management plan should work
towards deciding, what is our goal?
How many mule deer do we want in
this area, and when (the numbers) drop
below a certain level, then the number
of tags should drop to whatever level to
account for that so we make sure we’re
not overharvesting when we have many
years of reduced numbers,” said Zim-
merling.
In the prairies, it’s a different story –
not just for mule deer, but for people
too.
“Thirty years ago, when the last plan
was made, the demographics and at-
titudes across the province was very
different than it is today,” Zimmerling
noted. “What we’re doing is develop-
ing a management plan that suits what
people want nowadays.”
Today, there is less social accep-
tance of having abundant deer run-
ning across roads because people are
hitting them with their cars. “That’s a
major issue that probably wasn’t there
30 years ago.” Also farming practices
have changed, which has resulted in
more conflict between mule deer and
hay producers.
Therefore, the panel will consider the
“social carrying capacity” of the land-
scape, rather than the biological one,
he said.
Mule deer are abundant in Wheatland
County. Across WMUs 156, 160, 152
and 138, parts of which includes all of
the county, the mule deer population
is estimated at 12,000, based on aerial
surveys and harvest reports, according
to John Muir, spokesperson for Alberta
Environment and Parks.
Within WMU 156 alone, there is an
estimated 2,600 mule deer, based on
an aerial survey flown on Jan. 13 to 16,
2020. In 2018, the mule deer harvest
within this management unit was 220
total mule deer (150 male, 58 female
and 12 young), accounting for a 71 per
cent success rate.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a
transmissible and fatal prion disease af-
fecting ungulates, is also a major con-
sideration in developing a new plan, as
it was not a problem 30 years ago.
“It’s starting to spread through our
mule deer population, and in some
cases, is getting into white-tailed deer
as well,” said Zimmerling. “So, what is
the plan? What do we want to do about
that?
“If you reduce deer numbers way
down, the ability (of the disease) to
spread decreases, but what’s the down-
side of doing that?”
The panel will be studying different
approaches and their respective out-
comes as to how species management
could play a role in controlling CWD.
Hunting in areas with CWD also aids
in the studying of the disease. In certain
WMUs, including WMU 156, it is man-
datory to submit the head of harvested
white-tailed and mule deer, which are
then tested for the disease.
Despite these trends and issues, the
panel does not have an initial direc-
tion in terms of increasing or decreas-
ing harvesting in specific areas. Instead,
Zimmerling said they are considering,
“what are the key issues, what are the
different options, and of those options,
what makes the most sense?”

One week remains in Special Olympics virtual event
JANET KANTERS
Times Editor
Special Olympics Alberta’s Virtual Summer Series is
in its final week, but it’s not too late to register for the
final leg of the event.
The Virtual Summer Series is a new Alberta Law
Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) event, running from
June 15 to Sept. 15. The event was organized in re-
sponse to the cancellation or postponement of all
summer fundraising events that LETR would typically
run over the summer months.
Participants in this event include the general public,
Special Olympics athletes, law enforcement officers
from agencies across Alberta and beyond, community
members and Special Olympics Alberta staff.
“The Virtual Summer Series has created a way for
law enforcement officers to join together virtually and
support our Special Olympics athletes,” said event
lead Matt Burton with the Alberta Sheriffs. “LETR has
always fostered the ‘inclusion revolution’ for our Spe-
cial Olympics athletes through our various fundrais-
ing efforts and events. But with most of our in-person
events being put on hold for 2020, our law enforce-
ment community, both provincially and globally, has
rallied behind the Virtual Summer Series.
“Not only do we recognize the benefits of encour-
aging physical activity and health during these un-
precedented times, but this event is also a way to
raise some much-needed funds for Special Olympics
Alberta as they continue to offer virtual support and
programming to our athletes,” added Burton.
According to Johnny Byrne, CEO of Special Olym-
pics Alberta, fundraising events like this, and the fact
that many fundraisers have been postponed, have a
big impact on organizations like Special Olympics Al-
berta.
“Special Olympics programs are made possible be-
cause of the generosity of our donors and sponsors,”
Doug Taylor Photos
he said. “We are very aware of the physical, mental
and financial challenges that everyone is facing due
to the pandemic, so we are continually looking for
ways to respectfully engage with our supporters. The
Virtual Summer Series has provided an innovative
way to stay connected while being active and healthy.
Events like these will be critical for us to ensure that
our local programs across the province have the re-
sources they need to restart safely.”
The Virtual Summer Series has over 110 partici-
pants from Alberta and beyond all logging their kms
for Special Olympics. The biking leg, the first leg of
the series which ran from June 15 to July 15, saw par-
ticipants cycle over 18,000 cumulative kms. Last week
was the final week of the running leg, the second part
of the event, with participants cumulatively running
over 4,100 kms.
The overall fundraising goal has been set at $50,000,
which will help support Special Olympics Alberta as
it continues to offer online training and workouts, vir-
tual social opportunities, and mental health support
to over 3,300 athletes.
Participants can join in and register anytime, with

Charlie was a kind, thoughtful man, with a soft spot for both people
and animals, and the loving patriarch of our family. He was a small
town, southern Alberta boy with a huge heart and an inquisitive mind
who lived his life with integrity and taught by example. Charlie was a
man of many talents; not only was he an awesome Dad, he a was a
skilled farmer, mechanic, athlete, storyteller, antique car restorer and
a connoisseur of fine, homemade lemon meringue pies.
Following the Way tradition of a telephone call to let family know you
had arrived safely at your destination, Charlie’s uncharged cell phone
rang at 6:02 a.m. on August 22, 2020, with a blank screen, letting
us know that he had arrived safely on the other side. Charlie and
Wimmie, his wife of 65 years are together again; off on yet another
adventure, this time in the celestial realm.
Our hearts are missing him greatly.
Kids: Lorna (Michael), Kevin, Karen (Ron), Brenda (Keith)
Grandkids: Michael Broere (Leah), William Broere, Erin Davidson
(Tom), Lexi Davidson, Shelby Way (John)
Great Grandkids: Hadley Gillis
Loving Companion: Elaine McKinnon;
and Auntie Bee, the extended Way Family & many friends
A Celebration of Life will be held and announced at a later date.
If friends so desire, donations may be made to The Heart and Stroke
Foundation as an expression of sympathy.
Obituary
SCHWORMSTEDE, Darleen
August 10, 1949 – August 31, 2020
Darleen Schwormstede (nee McNeil) of Carseland, AB passed away
on August 31, 2020 at the age of 71 years.
Darleen was born in Vancouver, BC to Ralph and Loyce McNeil on
August 10, 1949. She was an army brat and lived all over the country
during her youth. Darleen settled in Southern Alberta living in Calgary,
Brooks, and a few small towns until she ended up in Carseland in
1978/79, where she spent the rest of her life. Darleen could do so
many things and took pride in everything she did. She was a fantastic
cook and bread maker. Her grandchildren were her whole world for
the past 17 years. When asked what her greatest accomplishment
was, she responded “ My Children”. We would say being a great mom
and friend.
Darleen is survived by her sister Colleen (Jim) Wallis of Cabri, SK;
her daughter Angela Eriksen of Carseland, AB; daughter in-law Cristy
(Greg) Monteith of High River, AB; grandchildren Paige, Brooke, Ava,
Rhylee and Kate; nieces and nephews Anthony, Tony, Natasha, and
Kristina; and her step-daughters Tracey and Lesley. She was preced-
ed by her parents Ralph and Loyce McNeil, and her son Lance Norton.
Photos, memories and condolences may be shared with Darleen’s
family through www.evanjstrong.com. Donations can be made in
Darleen’s memory to the Alberta Children’s Hospital (http://www.
childrenshospital.ab.ca/) or Dreams Take Flight (https://dreamstake-
