What is new in Chestermere.  Apparently quite a lot!   The Chestermere Laker has published the first edition of their weekly newspaper.  This is what you will find in it!

Lyme Disease Ticks have been found on pets in Chestermere!  Who knew? 

The town does not know what to do with the weeds from the lake!  Who is surprised? 

Pointy breasts are too sexy for a sign in Chestermere!  I never knew we had guidelines for that did you? 

The sportsplex cannot get financing so it probably won't happen!  Too bad. 

Storm water from Calgary will be diverted to Shepard.  Good to know. 

With only 15,000 residents the library has over 6,550 members and lots of great summer programs.  Go library!

A really special bike was stolen, Chestermere RCMP are looking for tips.  A good reminder to keep your valuables out of sight we are not that small town anymore!

Melcor is opening a 54,000 sq. ft. office building.  Great, now businesses needing office space will not have to pay retail rates.  It would be good if Melcor had some competition what do you think?

Roy Chester not only cleans window he kills spiders too.  There are a lot of spiders around the lake so I am happy to know that there is someone locally I can call. 

A water upgrade will cost the town $750,000 to bring water to 20 Lake Ere homes...They will have to pay the cost.  A note from a Realtor, they will get their money back.  Good water and sewer are priceless to home buyers. 

The town of Chestermere wants to be your friend on facebook.  Do you want to be theirs?

Chestermere has a historical society and they want to create a multi-purpose building to celebrate the heritage of Chestermere. 

Chestermere's RCMP have enhanced early morning patrols and they are catching car thief's in Chestermere.  Good work Chestermere RCMP.

The only outside piece that was not specifically about Chestermere and written by the staff of the Laker was a movie review on the girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which is out on video. 

Thanks to the Laker we should not run out of issues to discuss with our neighbours this week. 

The paper should have been delivered to your door by now.  If you have not received it you can pick it up on stands around town.  Or at the Laker office where Shoppers Drugs used to be at 140 East Chestermere Drive. 

Or you can read the Laker on line at www.chestermerelaker.com

Great job Lakers!
