Dear Ramsay Neighbours,
September and the first part of October were times of significant change for your Team Ward 9 and for our municipal gov-ernment. Closer to home I welcomed Katie Hope and Eric Peters to my office, who I introduced to you in last month’s report. During the beginning of October, the three of us made the rounds to Ward 9’s commu-nity association meetings in order to meet your community leadership. I am elated with the enthusiasm and capabilities of my new team and want to assure you that our mission remains steadfast - the relentless pursuit of Great Neighbourhoods.
On a broader stage, Alberta history was made on Tuesday, October 7th. Our Mayor, Naheed Nenshi, Premier Jim Prentice, Edmonton’s mayor, and Alberta’s Minister of Municipal Affairs met at Calgary City Hall and signed the “Framework Agreement for Charters”. This Agreement is the first step on the century-old dream towards a City Charter for Calgary and Edmonton. When realized, this will transform these
important cities from “creatures of the prov-ince” into full-fledged governments in their own right.
Establishing a new relationship with the Province is the fifth component of my five-point Great Neighbourhoods plan. This Agreement commits the three parties to establishing exactly this kind of next-gener-ation leadership, with a more efficient and logical set of responsibilities for each level of government, along with the sustainable and predictable funding sources to carry out these responsibilities.
Keeping with the theme of municipal empowerment, on September 5th I was extremely honoured to be invited to pres-ent at the first annual Alberta Municipal Governance Symposium in Grande Prairie. At the Symposium close to 300 munici-pal leaders from across Alberta met to discuss the future of our Province. In a very balanced way we explored the idea of amalgamating the hundreds of Alberta municipalities into significantly fewer and significantly stronger organizations, in order
to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of government. The event left me inspired and I encourage you to view the remarks I made at the symposium here.
Over the next month, Council will redis-tribute roles and responsibilities at our annual Organizational Day (I expect my role to remain largely unchanged) and debate Calgary’s first ever four-year business plan and budget. I look forward to report-ing to you on that next month.
We remain at your service at 403.268.5330 and at [email protected].

Recently, Reality Is Optional kids’ writing club ventured into the world of superhero speed dating. What, you ask, is superhero speed dating? It is when you create a character with randomized powers, costume colours, and goals. We then gave our heroes names and motives. After that we interviewed each other’s superheroes and made teams. Our teams went on grand adventures in such places as France and Great Britain. We don’t know if we’ve made a great difference in the world or just annoyed the heck out of French people in general, but our intentions were good (sort of ).
In other news a Japanese High School full of goats sprang up in the RIO classroom, with two of our members speaking in only Japanese Anime phrases for a good chunk of the meeting. We invented new sports such as Kawaii Toast Running and Monocube. Both are amazing and challenging sports, one more deadly than the other. We also had a pun off, an election for class president (won by a goat), and created a really badly trans-lated theme song. See all of these in either October or November’s RIO E-zine.
We had a very chill Free Fall Friday, where we wrote for an hour in somewhat quiet. It was nice. Pen and Panel cartooning club, our sister club, is doing well. They have cre-ated new characters, new comics, and lots of inside jokes – like Tim and Sad Volleyball. Go to their website to see the fun, www.pen-andpanel.com. For random movie night we watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail – probably one of the best movies ever. We can now NEE with the best of them and know
a shrubbery when we see one. The movie reminded us of our latest Dungeons and Dragons club adventure where we battled spiders and got into a ship wreck.
We are always taking new members so if you wish to give up your sanity and play with words contact us via the RIO website: www.realityisoptional.weebly.com.

When I’m playing on my drums, I’m always having fun, Rattle, clack bang boom, tappity tap, I never want it to be done, And I can’t stop this feeling, going straight down to my feet, I like to rattle!
Sometimes when I’m singing songs my guitar talks to me, Tells me how much it would like to be sittin on my knee, When I pick it up to play, it’s such good company, I like to strum, strum, strum!
When rhythm’s not enough I need some strummin’ harmony. When my strumming wants a boost, a backbeat’s all I need. We just get together, like two birds of a feather, in all kinds of weather, Captain Steve and Heather. I like to rattle and strum …
So begins Heather Johnson and Steve Hazlett’s self-titled CD Rattle and Strum. Heather and Steve’s lastest musical collaboration is in the running for the Canadian Folk Music Awards Children’s Album of the Year. This toe-tappin’ collection of heart-warming, silly ditties has already won a Parents’ Choice Gold Award and has been nominated for many other prizes. It’s no surprise that their first venture into kids’ music has been so successful. The energy and humour in these songs builds on years of per-forming together as Heather Blush and the Uppercuts.
The Uppercuts came together because Heather Blush needed a back-up band for her first solo CD release. Heather knew Shane “Cannonball” Sutherland, the group’s orignal bassist, and asked him to find folks for the release party. He knew Steve, and they started to jam. “They wouldn’t leave me alone,” Heather joked. It worked out so well that they started to peform together. After trying out a few names for the group, they agreed that “The Uppercuts” reflected the trio’s spirit because they dress to the nines on stage. And, Steve says, “We’re a little fighty.” They’ve produced two albums: Vice (2008) and Versa (2009).
Raised in Winnipeg, Heather started playing the guitar when she was 15-years old. She put down her guitar while she studied clas-sical piano at Brandon University. She’d always sang to herself, but was too shy to sing in public. Pursuing a degree in music therapy at Florida State University forced her to develop competence (and confidence) playing many intruments, including her voice. She started to write songs and sing at open mikes, where she fell in love with performing her own material. Heather practiced music therapy for about five years before she decided to concentrate on her musi-cal career.
Steve has been playing gigs since he was 17. “My mom used to write me notes to excuse me from missing my first class: ‘Stevie had to work late last night.’” He started playing drums in The Spirit of Windsor, a home town marching band, when he was 14. The drum
instructor from the band gave him lessons, and he was hooked. He’s lived in Ramsay since 1996, and for the past seven years has been a sculptor at F & D Scene Changes.
The Uppercuts and Rattle and Strum combine Heather and Steve’s muscial and artistic talents. Heather writes the songs. They produce the albums together. And Steve designs the CD covers. Vice and Versa are complementary albums, and the covers play on the dark and light themes in the music. The cover of Vice is a bar, and a family picnic is the scene on Versa. Heather and Steve carved graffi-ti on a bar table for the first album. And Steve’s sisters made a quilt to grace the cover of the next release. Steve thought that listeners should think that a kid could have done the cover and illustrations for the booklet of Rattle and Strum. For the booklet, he drew quick drawings that told the story of some of the tunes. Colourful card-board cutouts illustrate other songs. They are all gorgeous, but my favourite is the cut-out illustration he made of themselves for the CD label. It’s this newsletter’s cover, based on the photos below.
I wondered how producing a kid’s album was different from the jazz/blues music that has built their reptuation. Heather explained that it’s different because the music is aimed at kids, but it feels the same because of the connection they’ve developed after so many years of working together. They aren’t different people on stage when they are performing for younger folk. Steve explained, “The humour is the same, but
it doesn’t hit those topics that it shouldn’t.” They decided against a childish persona for the kids’ shows. “Kids are just less experienced people,” says Heather.
The lyrics of the songs on Rattle and Strum are clever, punny, and amusing for kids young and old. “Video Game Blues,” is a song about a kid whose older brother and younger sister would rather play video games than be outside. And their Mom is hooked on video games, too. Harsh! Greyson, the household’s resident expert on kid’s music, says the best song on the album is “In My Spaceship.” But that might be because he and his friends, Charlie and Reese, sing backup vocals on his dad’s album. He’s also the inspiration for “Peanut Butter Song.” When he was 2-years old he managed to get peanut better everywhere – and he does not remember how it got on his toes! Greyson has an idea for their next tune. It’s based on his experiences trick-or-treating, which he describes as a “volcano kid explosion!”
So what’s next? They hope to be in the studio soon to record songs for both groups. But in the meantime, Ramsay has its fingers crossed that they’ll win a CFMA award. The CDs are great stocking stuffers for the young music fans in your family; they’re available at rattleandstrum.com. Heather Blush and the Uppercuts will be play-ing at Mikey’s Juke Joint on November 7th. Or catch one of their 10th-anniversary gigs in 2015.

November 7th - 29th: Artist Sheila Rowe presents Glory in the Main Gallery. Glory celebrates the beauty of landscape, its many seasons and moods and its people. Artists Darlene Beck, Marie Gelinas-Giles, and Vanessa Kary present Moments in the Red Gallery and Stairway Gallery. The artists feel art is about emotion and loosing oneself in the moment. Much of the Abstract Art por-trays a peace and tranquility or the colours of the area or season that they are in at that time. They use bright, bold colours, portray-ing an excitement of what they are doing or what is to come. Working with more dark colours gives a form of mysteriousness to some of the work. They wish to leave the viewer inspired in that each person will see something different and exciting in the work as they view it at that MOMENT.

To Ramsay Community:
I had the privilege of chairing the Ramsay Community Association’s recent AGM. I was remiss in not recognising Jenny Jensen’s willing contribution for the past five years and would like to do so now. I feel that this is important as the contribution of time and energy of all board members is meaningful and must not only be recognised but celebrated. Jenny, congratulations on your five years (maybe more) of service; it was a significant contribution to your community.
Thank You, Jenny! Shirley-anne Reuben

Ten years ago the Ramsay News had the Harvest Table & Craft Fair on the cover, and the new Board celebrated the addition of Colleen Peters, Lynn Wheildon, Darlene Travis and Carline’s Liz Skagen. Past President Michael Fitzpatrick noted Block Watch’s revival (which separately got a full page) and Janice Thoroughgood men-
tioned the Manchester Water Center and a proposed UofC East Village Campus in Civic Affairs. The average sale price of a bungalow was ~$220k and Principal Brian Del Castilho celebrated students’ academic achievements. Architect Gerry Forseth presented a Viva Mexico City! slideshow with wine & cheese (mmm… cheese…) and Denis Herard was running for re-election as Egmont’s MLA. The Stampede had a map of their proposed Development Master Plan, the City’s EMS promoted Sledding Safety and the Alex introduced their new Laundromat next to what is now Prime Time. Oil Baron C.C. Snowdon was the focus of Beth Carter’s People in Ramsay and we still had a Calendar of Events on the back cover!
