Local physician Dr. Ward Fanning recently ap-peared before Strathmore town council to ask for support in an appeal to the College of Phy-sicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA), after a 2014 decision that blocked the establishment of an independent outpatient ultrasound and x-ray clinic for Strathmore. Fanning is going to re-introduce the plan at an appearance at the College of Physicians and Surgeons on April 17, 2017. The CPSA stated in 2014 that it cannot approve the service due to an archaic rule that outpatient services in a clinic setting cannot be situated  within 100 km of Calgary, due to isolation and safety issues for the technician. However, if the facility is in a hospital setting or in areas further than 100 km, it could be approved.“I don’t think it is a safety issue, but it is more of a control issue,” said Fanning.He is hoping local support and his address to the CPSA will set their reservations to rest and logical minds will prevail.He said technicians in Strathmore would in-teract with many doctors and staff members in a clinical setting. A specialist would also be on hand in Strathmore once a week. With new technology, exam results are now transmitted via the Internet from clinics in Cal-gary and from even more remote global areas than Strathmore. “I don’t see how the objections have relevance in today’s world,” said Fanning. The facility machines will be provided through an agreement with Mayfair Diagnostics, so no funding will be necessary from the town or pub-lic to get the clinic up and running.Councillors and the mayor agreed that having such a clinic here would be safer and benefi-cial for rural patients. Those with no transpor-tation often cannot get into the city for exams, the physically challenged are taxiing the local Handibus service for trips into Calgary for clinic appointments, and those who drive have to deal  with weather and city traffic hazards.  The CPSA has stated that a population of 20,000 or more would be necessary to support such a service, and as Strathmore has only 14,000 citizens, it would not qualify. Fanning said if you take into consideration the additional surround-ing rural communities and the Siksika reserve, the population would be over 30,000.

Pharmacists place great importance on your taking your medications as prescribed by your doctor and not missing doses. This is called good adherence. In this context, people often think of only oral medication. However, persons with glaucoma who use eye drops daily to keep the pressure in the eye down, should also not miss doses. Non-adherence in this case could lead to blindness. The acronym
GERD
 is a familiar one. It stands for
gastrointestinal reux disease. It simply means that the contents of the stomach sometime ow backwards
up the esophagus causing intense heartburn. This can be alleviated by losing some weight and eating smaller meals more often throughout the day. Raising the head of your bed will also help if you are bothered with symptoms at night.Wearable medical devices are beginning to make inroads into healthcare. In the U.S. there is a contest open to the public to design a wearable device to detect alcohol levels in the body. It is hoped that
when the device nally reaches the market it will be
available to those who treat alcohol use disorders and perhaps eventually to individuals to monitor their own alcohol use.If you take a number of routine medications, it may seem you are always phoning the pharmacy for
rells. The idea of prescription synchronization is
becoming more popular. After some initial quantity adjustments, all your routine prescriptions will run out at the same time. It saves time for you and is a good indication of whether you are taking your medication as the doctor ordered.

 The Town of Strathmore is set to elect a new council on Oct. 16 of this year and they have approved the election Bylaw 17-07, which outlines matters that are required under the provincial Local Authorities Elec-tion Act. The act sets out how elections are to be conducted.  There are some new additions in the by-law. The vote times will now be from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.“This is so people can vote before they go to work,” said Jennifer Sawatzky, Town of Strathmore’s manager of legislative services.  There is also a provision for incapacitated persons to receive a house call from the electoral officers, so they can vote. There are changes to the ballot forms, instructions for electronic voting systems, and guide-lines for pre-voting, voting, post-voting and counting procedures.Nomination forms for election candidates must be in between 8:30 a.m. and noon on the designated nomination day, with sup-portive signatures of five eligible voters and a deposit of $250.Dates and procedures for advanced or pre-voting will be announced closer to elec-tion date. Town councillors asked about the num- ber of polling stations and if any measures  were changed to alleviate the long lineups encountered in the last election. Adminis-tration said there would not be any new polling stations.“This year we have set it up differently: lineups will be inside and the voting pro-cess will be more effective to go through,” said Sawatzky.

Students of Wheatland Elementary learned on April 3 and 4 about the dangers that a farm can possess and on the im-portance of farm safety. Wheatland Elementary has offered the farm safety pro-gram to students with yearly visits and lectures from the Farm Safety Centre, which is based in Raymond, Alta. “This program has been around for 18 years. This school has been a part of a whole bunch of rural schools that have had this visit for a few years now,” said Marie McKevitt, Farm Safety Centre instructor for the southwestern region. Instructors for the Farm Safety Centre live and farm in the regions in which they teach so they have first-hand knowl-edge of regional issues and lifestyles throughout Alberta.  Also, because they come from the agricultural sector, they understand the safety challenges a working farm presents, and have a genuine interest and concern for the safety of rural children.Since the students take the program nearly every year, the instructors were noticing a loss of attention as students got older. They tackled that problem by changing the lecture style program to a “Jeopardy” style program, where students are taught about farm safety and then they split into groups to play a game of farm safety Jeopardy.  The program has also evolved into a more up-to-date ver-sion, highlighting safety measures following real life safety issues that have recently happened on farms, including the recent drowning in Airdrie on the canal and the three sisters  who passed away by drowning in grain. A stronger empha-sis is now placed on safety around grain, all-terrain vehicles (ATV), and safety on water and ice.“It’s changed to make it more relevant and up to date to  be able to (give children) a really good knowledge (of safety concerns on a farm), and to know that an accident can hap-pen in an instant,” said McKevitt. “It’s good for children to go home and remind their parents (of different safety con-cerns),” she added.  According to a report released by Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, in 2014 there were 17 farm-related deaths in Al- berta caused by animals, machinery, ATV rollovers, chemical toxicity, falling from heights or being struck by falling ob- jects. One death in 2014 was of a child under the age of 18. One especially important piece of information McKevitt hopes children will learn is the “one seat, one rider” rule. Many farms don’t follow that rule, resulting in too many in- juries and deaths caused by ATVs, tractors and riding in the  back of pickup trucks. McKevitt notes that the program is very successful when given to students every year to remind them of safety con-cerns on a farm.“I think it’s so smart to educate rural children on farm safety,” said McKevitt. “Especially for some of these kids who don’t live on a farm, it’s important too, because I know that they are visiting farms and their parents won’t be telling them safety concerns with grain and that it is like quicksand and other things like the parents of children who live on farms do.” By introducing both rural and non-rural children to farm safety, it ensures every child knows about the dangers on a farm and how to safely play in the country, she added. Approximately one quarter of the students in Westmount Elementary school live on farms so they use the knowledge gained from the program daily. Many other students visit their friends on their farms, so it is important for them to learn about the risks associated with a farm and how to safely play and visit a farm.
Westmount teaches farm safety
Students of Westmount Elementary learned all about farm safety from in-structors with the Farm Safety Centre on April 3-4. Students learned about real life scenarios where children were hurt on a farm and about the possible repercussions of not acting safely while on a farm. They then played farm safety jeopardy to test their newly gained knowledge on farm safety. Marie McKevitt taught students all about proper farm safety.

Over 50 students of Westmount Elementary acted in ‘Scared,’ a play about a monster named Harley who isn’t scary and doesn’t fit in. The play explores topics of bullying, fear and the virtues of kindness. The students put on five different performances of the production from April 10-12 to a variety of audience members.
