Stephen Slawuta of RC Strategies delivers a skating arena and curling rink feasibility study to a near empty room at the Lions Rec Centre in 

Coronation on Thurs., May 12. 

ECA Review/D.Clark 

Three attend rink feasibility study meeting 

Dena Clark 

ECA Review reporter 

The information took a year to 

gather however only three people, outside 

of town council and the steering 

committee made up of members of the 

Wellness Society and press attended 

the skating arena and curling rink feasibility 

study public presentation held 

on Thur., May 12 at the Lions Rec 

Centre in Coronation. 

“Either the town really trusts 

council to make decisions for them or 

people simply don’t care,” the Town of 

Coronation CAO Sandra Kulyk told the 

press that night. 

The Edmonton based community 

development, public engagement and 

wellness infrastructure, company, RC 

Strategies presented their findings, 

which included a year’s worth of 

research to a total of 12 people. 

Their 144 person survey reported 

that 67 per cent of persons who completed 

the survey actively use the 

skating rink while 80 per cent have 

been a spectator. 

The curling rink reports showed 

slightly lower numbers with a 50 per 

cent participant rate and 60 per cent as 

spectators. 

Their research also showed a significantly 

high percentage of 10 - 14 year 

olds living in the Coronation area compared 

to the rest of the province. 

The research stated that the 

Coronation skating arena was the only 

one in a 25 km radius and one of 15 in a 

100 km radius. 

The Coronation curling arena 

showed similar findings. 

The other significant items of note 

which RC Strategies shared at the 

meeting included their engineers’ findings 

that there is a high liklihood of a 

catastrophic event happening in the 

next one to five years due to combination 

of structural issues in the skating 

rink. 

Interestingly enough the price tag to 

“fix” the buildings to bring them up to 

spec is almost identical to building two 

brand new structures, around $20 million, 

give or take a couple of million 

depending on facilities amenities that 

are included for a new complex.

study visit the Town of 

Coronation’s website.

Wind farm update 

During their last regular meeting 

on Tues., May 3 Coun. Blumhagen 

abstained from discussion and 

departed the meeting while Country of 

Paintearth dealt with the wind farm 

and land use by law. 

According to meeting notes 

Paintearth council received a copy of 

Schedule A for Bylaw 463-16, which is 

now condensed into the material solely 

from the Land Use bylaw hearing and 

has recommendations for the various 

setbacks as per previous review and 

discussion, and also reflecting solar 

workshop information which occurred 

the day after the hearing. 

Since the hearing, Paintearth 

County has received a number of 

written submissions and some minor 

changes were affected by information 

at the solar workshop. 

Coun. Dahmer moved that an additional 

public hearing be held at on 

June 7 to receive new supplemental 

information on the Land Use bylaw 

463-16. Turn to Phase, Pg 3

CORONATION COUNCIL 

Council cuts own perks to avoid raising taxes 

Dena Clark 


Coronation town council 

approved the 2016 budget at 

their special Mon. May 16 

meeting, with no increase to the 

municipal tax rate, however 

both the Paintearth Lodge and 

Education tax rate increased 

due to increased levies from 

both. 

Deputy Mayor Jackie Brigley 

and Councillor Vickey Horkoff 

spearheaded council’s attempts 

to cut the 2016 operating budget 

to avoid raising the mill rate by 

the proposed one to two per cent 

at their regular meeting on 

Mon., May 9. 

The main focus of discussion 

for the proposed cuts included 

sending fewer councillors to the 

Alberta Urban Municipalities 

Association (AUMA) conference 

and only demolishing two of the 

four upcoming demolitions 

scheduled for 2016. 

The two demolitions that 

remained on the books were the 

two “worst”, the home on 

Norfolk Ave. and the home on 

Victoria Ave. 

As reported by CAO Sandra 

Kulyk in the agenda minutes, 

because of Canadian Institute of 

Chartered Accountants (CICA) 

changes to financial accounting 

requirements, which now 

require municipalities to report 

depreciation of tangible capital 

assets, accounts have been 

included in the 2016 draft 

budget to account for estimated 

annual depreciation expense. 

The total annual depreciation 

expense budgeted for 2016 is 

$401,861. 

The draft budget does not 

fully fund this expense and a 

deficit budget is presented as a 

result. 

The deficit is proposed to be 

offset by a transfer from the 

contingency operating 

restricted surplus and unrestricted 

surplus accounts in the 

amount of $400,000. 

Tax rates/assessment 

The draft operating budget is 

presented with an assumption 

of a two per cent increase being 

made to the municipal tax 

rate. 

The town’s total residential 

assessment has increased by 

0.6 per cent as a result of inflation 

in 2016, and the total 

non-residential assessment has 

increased by 0.3 per cent as a 

result of inflation. 

New development only 

accounts for a 0.2 per cent 

increase in the town’s residential 

assessment base. 

Declining assessment values 

for non-residential properties 

has resulted in a 1.4 per cent 

decrease in assessed values in 

2016. 

The total combined assessment 

increase for residential 

and non residential properties 

is $262,610, which is an increase 

of 0.35 per cent over 2015 values. 

If the town maintains no 

increase to the municipal tax 

rate, the average increase to 

commercial tax levies would be 

1.13 per cent ($133.34 per year) 

and the average increase to residential 

tax levies would be 1.25 

per cent ($43.89 per year), based 

on a sampling of municipal 

properties. 

If the town considered a two 

per cent increase to the municipal 

tax rate, the budget deficit 

is reduced by approximately 

$20,715.72, and the average 

increase to commercial tax 

levies would be 2.77 per cent 

($264.38 per year) and the 

average increase to residential 

tax levies would be 2.5 per cent 

($84.18 year). 

The town has approved residential 

and commercial tax 

incentive programs to promote 

new development. 

A total of $35,385.15 will be 

rebated as per the terms of the 

commercial property tax incentive 

in 2016. 

An analysis of the total tax 

levy for the Town of Coronation 

for the tax years 2010 to 2016 

shows the source of the total tax 

collected for 2016 is budgeted to 

be approximately 83 per cent 

municipal, 15 per cent education 

levy and 2.3 per cent Paintearth 

Foundation levy. 

The analysis also shows the 

source of the total municipal 

tax collected is approximately 

60 per cent residential and 40 

per cent commercial. 

In 2014, the ratio of residential 

to commercial tax levies was 61 

per cent residential and 39 per 

cent commercial. 

Salaries and benefits 

In December, 2015, 

council approved a 1.4 

per cent cost of living 

increase to the town’s 

salary and wage grid. 

In combination with 

employee grid advancements 

and with 

increases to contracted 

wages, council fees and 

fire department 

honourariums and wages, the 

total budget for employee salaries 

and wages has increased 

by 3.7 per cent in 2016. 

Employee benefits have 

increased by a total of 8.98 per 

cent as a result of increases to 

extended health benefit premiums 

and Workers 

Compensation Board 

premiums. 

Municipal Sustainability 

Initiative (MSI) funding 

The town has received its 

2016 funding confirmations for 

the MSI program. 

The town’s MSI operating 

funding has decreased by 9.74 

per cent ($6,169) in 2016. MSI 

capital funding decreased by 

3.66 per cent ($9,041). 

The Basic Municipal 

Transportation grant component 

has remained unchanged, 

as the grant is allocated on a 

per capita basis. 

Youth programming request 

Brad Johnson requested an 

opportunity to appear before 

council to request a discounted 

rate for the Lions Rec Centre to 

hold a youth dance. 

Council discussions on the 

subject oscillated between 

wanting to support the youth 

programming yet needing to 

not only cover their own costs, 

such as security and the 

cleaning fees for the venue but 

also the precedent they would 

be setting by allowing one 

group a discounted rate. 

The $100 for a full day only 

required a $5 fee from 20 

attendees which to council did 

not seem like an excessive 

amount. 

Johnson was invited to make 

a formal presentation to 

council. 

Replacing memorial benches 

Council determined that 

there would be set styles for the 

memorial benches currently 

located along with Coronation 

walking path. The current

Tax rate increase did not pass third reading 

Dena Clark 


The two per cent mill rate increase, 

which was proposed and agreed upon 

by council on December 8, 2015 did not 

pass a required unanimous third 

reading by council during their regular 

meeting on Tues., May 10. 

Councillor Kruse was the sole opposition 

in passing the motion stating 

that “it was not the right economic climate 

to raise taxes”. 

CAO Kim Neill reminded Coun. 

Kruse that council had agreed to raise 

taxes this past December, and although 

they had hoped for an economic windfall 

to avoid that option, it did not 

occur. 

Councillor Preston said that 

although he didn’t want to raise taxes 

Phase one water line 

debenture to be paid off 

Cont’d from Pg 1 

Darrin Newell, WSP updated council 

on the rural water strategy that was 

compiled for the county. 

Newell advised council that the 

Shirley McClellan Regional Water 

Services Commission (SMRWSC) does 

not recommend any hot tapping into 

the water line. 

There are eleven “T” connections 

located along the line that can be used 

for tie-ins to the water line and these 

have not been considered in the rural 

plan. 

The Coronation reservoir was 

designed with the intent to eventually 

feed Brownfield as the reservoirs were 

meant to serve the rural areas. 

Some funding from the Building 

Canada Grant was used to assist the 

county in getting water to Circle 

Square Ranch however the funding 

that was available was given out for 

existing infrastructure and not for 

new water lines. 

Council will be provided with a copy 

of the rural water strategy plan as presented 

for review and discussion at a 

later date. 

This baseline model can be utilized 

by staff to use with interested parties 

to determine water hook-ups. 

Coun. Dahmer also moved the 

County of Paintearth pay off the extra 

portion of phase one debenture of 

$80,000 from water restricted surplus 

due to the withdrawal of two members 

to the SMRWSC. 

Purchases 

Bryce Cooke, Director of Public 

Works reported to council that 

council purchase a new 420F2 backhoe 

from Finning Ltd. for $154,280 which 

will be used for loading clay at gravel 

pits but mainly during the winter for 

brushing and burning crews. 

The older unit will be kept for an 

additional winter brushing crew. 

Council also approved the purchase 

of a new Freightliner 114SD cab and 

chassis for $135,000 to replace the 1998 

Mack water truck 

unit #9030. 

The tank 

would be 

removed from 

Unit #9030 and 

placed on the new 

chassis for 

$32,000. 

The tank is 

only three years 

old and was purchased 

with a 

liner to protect it 

from handling 

calcium.

either, that it was “more palatable to do 

a two per cent raise now than 10 per 

cent later”. 

The tax rate has not changed since 

2010. 

Upon further discussion Coun. 

Kruse attempted to retract his third 

reading opposition however it was 

decided to table the discussion until 

the next meeting. 

More information on fibre optics 

Jason O’Connor from Axia: Fibre 

Optic Internet made Axia’s second presentation 

to council on Tues., May 10 to 

further the discussion about installing 

a fibre optic network in Hanna. 

Councillor Campion told council following 

the presentation that he “Won’t 

make a decision with no paperwork, no 

information, no plan on a 100 year 

commitment without knowing what 

the information is about.” 

O’Connor said that Axia would provide 

Hanna with a municipal access 

agreement for the town to sign and 

once that first step is completed will 

initiate the process start on the engineering 

plans. 

Tenant destroys house 

Deb Sabine of Hanna requested that 

council waive the service fee to her 5th 

Ave. home in light of the fact that her 

last tenant destroyed her rental home. 

“It’s been trashed to the point where 

it may have to be demolished,” she told 

council. 

Sabine told council that she did not 

have the money to have it accessed to 

determine if the property needs to be 

condemned. 

Delburne plan nears completion 

Debra Johnston 


The Municipal Development Plan 

(MDP) for Delburne builds on the work 

of Belonging Delburne, explained 

Natasha Wright from Parkland 

Community Planning Services as she 

reviewed elements of the MDP with 

council at the May 10 regular meeting. 

The MDP covers everything from 

economic development to Main Street 

design and redevelopment and is 

nearly complete. 

Prior public consultation has 

already taken place for the plan and 

the public will again be encouraged to 

participate once the final draft of the 

MDP is ready to be presented later this 

spring. 

Get some skin in the game 

The Delburne Village Charity Golf 

Tournament will go ahead again this 

year council decided. 

While the village organizes the 

event, the proceeds go towards local 

organizations. Those groups must fill 

out an application to be considered for 

the funding and must also provide volunteers 

to help out with the 

tournament. 

Proposal for new housing 

Bylaw 1122/2016 to rezone a property 

on 24 Avenue across from Elk 

Haven from low density R1 to residential 

R2 passed first reading. A 

purchaser for the land would like to 

build a four-plex on the lot. The units 

would be smaller, less than 700 square 

feet, and suitable for one or two residents 

per unit. The public hearing for 

the bylaw will be held in June.

ON THE OTHER HAND 

Lessons of history 

by B.P. Schimke 

Reinhold Niebuhr, an American 

theologian, said, “There are limits to 

our ability to shape other societies or 

even to fully anticipate the consequences 

of our actions.” 

The Middle East’s instability and 

the successive creation of newer and 

more violent groups, ISIS, al-Qaeda, 

Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas and the 

PLO are the unanticipated consequences 

referred to by Niebuhr. 

Between the Ottoman, British, 

French, Americans, Germans (under 

Kaiser Wilhelm II and Adolf Hitler) 

and Russia (under the Tzars and the 

communists), the peoples of the Middle 

East have been colonized, divided as 

spoils to victors after both world wars, 

oppressed and left in poverty while 

their puppet leaders are lavished with 

wealth and weapons by the West and 

Russia. 

Arabs, Persians, Muslims, 

Christians, Kurds, Turks, 

Palestinians, Azeris, Jews and 

Armenians (to name just a few religious 

and ethnic groups in the Middle 

East) through the centuries have had 

tense relationships but also understanding 

amongst the various tribes. 

There truly have been peaceful times 

between Christians and Muslims. 

Although there has always been fairly 

high tensions between the two Muslim 

groups, the Shia and the Sunni. 

“ 

He blames the 

immigrants but, of 

course, that is far 

from the truth. 

But the region became a powder keg 

after what could be called the worst 

decision ever made by Britain and the 

United States. Canadian, Australian, 

British and American governments 

today are quite pro-Jewish, but that 

was not the case after World War II. 

With millions of Jewish refugees 

fleeing Germany there was not one 

ally country willing to allow a massive 

immigration of Jews into their lands. 

The in-conceived solution by the 

U.S. and Britain was to scoop ancient 

Palestinian land and create an 

European Jewish state in the middle of 

a region with thousands of years’ history 

of multiple religions and tribes. 

Middle Eastern Jews, Christians, 

Muslims co-existed for centuries, but 

now a totally different culture 

(Europe) not just a religion, was thrust 

upon the region and then armed to the 

gills with the latest state-of-the-art 

weaponry. 

By taking away traditional lands 

and creating an European Jewish 

state, the Middle East was to become a 

forever powder keg.

V I E W P O I N T S 

The British spent much of their colonization 

days believing that they were 

the finest race in the world and the 

more of the world that they inhabited 

the better the world would be. But 

during their days of colonization, they 

raped the occupied countries of their 

resources, lived as kings and queens in 

armed compounds while the masses 

were slaves and continued to live in 

extreme poverty. 

The Americans are the same in 

believing they are the greatest nation 

on earth and everyone should feel privileged 

to have their friendship. 

However, their history of manipulating 

and/or overthrowing 

governments for their own economic 

purposes have left behind violence and 

poverty in many of the Middle East 

and Third World countries they supposedly 

befriended. 

People like Republican presidential 

nominee, Donald Trump want you to 

believe that the “only reason we have 

ISIS today is because of Hilary Clinton 

and President Obama,” which shows 

complete ignorance of history. 

Ironically Trump followers are 

feeling the same way as many Arabs 

and Palestinians have felt after years 

of being controlled by puppet leaders 

who have done little to bring the 

masses up out of poverty. Trump is 

feeding on the anger of a huge swath of 

Americans who once held good-paying 

factory and manufacturing jobs. He 

blames the immigrants but, of 

course, that is far from the truth. 

It has been the policies of successive 

American governments since 

the time of Ronald Reagan that has 

pushed so many people from the 

middle class into poverty. Through 

the policies of neo-liberalism (free 

trade, low taxes and de-regulation), 

the U.S. is moving economically 

towards a third world status. The 

very rich holding the vast majority of 

the wealth (again, ironically Donald 

Trump being one of main beneficiaries 

of neo-liberal polices), a shrinking and 

indebted middle class and a growing, 

angry class of poor people. 

It appears that Donald Trump 

doesn’t care how he becomes 

President. If his ticket to victory 

means stirring up hatred, racism and 

angry amongst disenfranchised 

American citizens, he seems more 

than willing to be a participant. 

But what Donald Trump may not 

realize, if elected, his angry group of 

gun-toting Americans will want 

changes and for anybody who understands 

the American political system, 

the only two things a President has 

absolute power over are starting wars 

and vetoing a bill. 

Mr. Trump and his gang need to be 

very mindful of the words of Reinhold 

Niebuhr. If he is elected, unfortunately 

there will be significant consequences 

to his election campaign actions and 

those consequences will not only affect 

peace in America, but Canada and the 

entire world.

A view of the Fort McMurray fire from evacuee, Jade Hiscock’s home on Tues., May 3. 

 

ECA Review/Submitted 

‘From the bottom of my heart, 

thank you, Coronation!’ 

Dena Clark 


Fort McMurray evacuee, Jade 

Hiscock and her seven year old 

daughter escaped with only their two 

dogs and each a grocery bag full of 

clothes, she said during an interview 

with the ECA Review on Thur. May 12 

having arrived just three days earlier. 

“I was petrified, I think I have run 

out of tears because I have cried so 

much,” she continued. 

“I was in Coronation last summer 

visiting my step-brother, Will 

Noseworthy and his family, and loved 

it,” she replied with asked why she 

came to Coronation. 

Hiscock first left her Gregire (a 

suburb of Fort McMurray) home on 

Sun., May 1 at 11:30 p.m. following a 

mandatory evacuation for her area 

issued by the Fort McMurray mayor. 

Police had been stationed on every 

other block and the radio had 20 

minute interval updates. 

She packed up her daughter, her two 

dogs and a bag of clothes and went to 

stay with a family member on the 

other side of town where the fires had 

not yet become problematic.

By 3:30 a.m. that same night the 

mayor apologized on behalf of the 

municipality for over reacting and told 

residents they could return to their 

homes. 

Hiscock returned home and opted to 

keep her daughter home from school 

both Monday and Tuesday due to the 

fact that her daughter suffers from 

severe asthma. 

Hiscock, however, did not spend long 

in her home before a second mandatory 

evacuation was issued. 

Once again she packed up the crew, 

along with her emergency bag headed 

towards Hwy #63, which she said was 

a five minute drive from her home. 

However upon being only three car 

lengths away from the turn off, the 

police announced that the integrity of 

Hwy #63 had been compromised due to 

a fire had that already reached the 

other side of the southbound highway. 

She was then redirected to Hwy #69, 

which Hiscock claimed is a dead-end 

road that only leads to the airport. 

She spent the next several hours, 

along with countless other vehicles in 

a holding pattern while fire crews 

attacked the flames on the main southbound 

traffic artery.

Despite signing on to the new Councillor Code 

of Conduct at the beginning of the May 11 regular 

meeting, some Stettler County councillors had 

difficultly abiding by the Code. 

While Bylaw 1557-16, which provides for rules 

of conduct for councillors in every aspect from 

confidentiality to code of ethics, was passed at the 

Apr. 13 regular meeting, the official signing was 

conducted on May 11. 

Yet some councillors fell short of the mark with 

respect to the Code, directing barbs at each other 

and one councillor publicly admonishing 

administration. 

As part of the Municipal Government Act 

Review, all municipalities are required to adopt a 

code of conduct that addresses councillor 

accountability and conduct. 

All but two councillors signed on to abide by 

the code of conduct. Councillor Dave Grover 

declared that he would not sign, stating that is 

was “a gag order”. 

In a phone call with CAO Tim Fox, Fox confirmed 

that Coun. Ernie Gendre had also not yet 

returned a signed document but that both councillors 

were free to do so at any time given there 

is no time limit for signing. 

Legal action threatened 

An angry Earl Marshall, former reeve and 

owner of Earl Marshall Trucking, slung rocks 

and barbs of his own at council at the meeting 

over a recent decision 

to award a 

contract for 

gravel processing 

to North Star 

Trucking. 

At the Apr. 13 

meeting, council 

voted to contract 

with North Star 

to process material 

in the 

Stormoen Pit that 

lies adjacent to 

land North Star is 

mining for an 

estimated cost of 

$125,000 to 

$175,000. The joint 

proposal was to 

work through the 

boundary line of 

both properties to 

utilize the material. 

Because of 

required property 

setbacks and back 

sloping requirements, 

the 

material could 

not be processed 

otherwise.

the county, issued a letter to council stating they 

did not tender the work properly. 

At the meeting, Marshall took the decision personally, 

“You know how long it took me to figure 

out you screwed me over? Thirty-five seconds!” 

Reeve Wayne Nixon countered that the county 

had realized their mistake and took action to 

rescind the contract. 

“We will re-tender or whatever it takes to rectify 

the situation,” stated Nixon 

Marshall was not satisfied, “What I’m hearing 

then that it was a simple mistake? It stinks!” 

Nixon took issue with 

Marshall’s shots, “Earl, you 

know you’re out of line by 

addressing council that way. 

Respect works both ways.” 

To which Marshall countered 

before leaving council 

chambers, “Respect is 

earned. Don’t talk to me 

about respect! Sir we will 

see you in court!” 

Following the exchange, 

council directed administration 

to seek legal advice over 

the matter.

welcome. 

Cards of Thanks 

IT’S BEEN A long 

hard journey, but 

finally two and a half 

years after the flood, 

we are finally back in 

our house in High 

River. Our home 

was severely damaged 

with two feet of 

water on the main 

floor. Our insurance 

covered the rebuild 

and contents of the 

basement up to 

grade, since damage 

was caused by 

sewer back-up. 

There was no coverage 

for the main 

floor, garage, or exterior 

damages, since 

this was caused by 

overland flooding. It 

has been an 

extremely stressful 

time in our lives but

many total strangers 

in the Brownfield and

We are forever grateful

THE FAMILY of Judi 

(Clark) Toivanen wish 

to express our deepest 

and sincerest 

“Thank You” to all for 

being a part of 

Jude’s life. She loved 

her friends and family 

and wanted to be 

a part of everything 

she could. She 

climbed many hills 

and crossed many 

valleys, but she 

never gave up. 

Thank you for attending 

her memorial services, 

for the many 

expressions of sympathy, 

cards, gifts 

and food, memorial 

donations and 

“hugs”. Special 

“Thank you” to Barb 

and Elaine for 

speinding extra time 

with Jude. To all the 

nieces and nephews 

for their help, tributes 

and music. Your 

song was beautiful 

Paula. The 

Stampede Barn was 

a perfect setting. 

Jude would have 

loved the get together 

with all her friends 

and family and the 

balloon send off was 

so special. She left 

us with heavy hearts 

but many memories 

and we know she is 

at peace. We will 

always love her. 

Thank you to 

Reverend Heather 

Carlson for her guidance 

and kind words, 

to Howard McKee for 

his help, Tannis and 

her crew for the

An elegant yet feisty lady 

The more that you read, the more 

things you know. The more that you 

learn, the more places you’ll go. 

(Dr. Seuss) 

Gladys Muriel Carter was born in 

Coronation on July 29, 1937, the only 

child of Cecil Carter and Helen Price. 

Helen moved to Calgary to work and 

support her family while Gladys lived 

with her grandparents, George and 

Lily Price. They had a great influence 

on her life and helped to shape her into 

a wise person. 

She attended her earliest school 

grades in Calgary, returning home to 

complete elementary through to grade 

12 in Coronation and was her 

class valedictorian. Her 

mother later married Ray 

Neal and Gladys was 

delighted to be sister to 

Bonnie, Ken and Ross Neal. 

Many will believe Skip 

caught her eye when she was 

just 15, but Gladys would tell 

you she actually remembers 

going to the Fleet Store with 

her mother, and a young 

spoiled Skip would be riding around 

on his tricycle banging into their heels. 

Helen would always remark what a 

spoiled little kid he was. 

They started dating and enjoyed 

each other’s company for 57 years. 

They were both 22 years old when they 

exchanged wedding vows on April 2, 

1960 at Trinity United Church. Their 

lives were enriched with the arrival of 

their daughters Tracy (1965), Marla 

(1967), and Kerri (1970). They were 

thrilled with the birth of their son, 

Rick in 1974. Skip and Gladys were 

married for 49 years when he passed in 

2009. She missed him so much but 

memories of laughter, music and 

family adventures for this busy family 

gave her strength. 

In 1961, Skip and Gladys bought an 

old travel trailer and began a lifetime 

of adventures heading out to Czar 

Lake, Gull Lake and the Okanagan, 

BC. Often these adventures were 

shared with Sadie and Cecil Caseley, 

Bill and Bubbles Bullick and their families. 

Gladys would pack up the trailer 

on Thursday night so Skip could gas it 

up at noon on Friday and everyone was 

ready to head out for family adventures 

at five when Skip finished work. 

They eventually placed their trailer 

at Pine Lake and enjoyed visiting, 

fishing and water skiing. Skip died six 

and a half years ago but Gladys carried 

on this weekly 

summer trek 

D 

because she 

wanted to spend 

time with her children, 

grandchildren 

and great grandchildren 

as well as 

many wonderful 

friends. This 

would have been 

her 31st year of 

weekends at Pine 

Lake. 

Marla shared 

their family 

adventure of 

travel in a van to 

California in 1982. 

Can you picture 

four kids dispersed 

in the 

three seats of the 

van, Gladys with 

five maps spread 

across her lap and 

on the dash, eight 

lanes of traffic 

and Skip spitting 

sunflower seeds 

out the window, 

pinging off stranger’s 

cars as Gladys 

tried to convince

him not to take the next exit? 

On that same trip, the kids were in a 

swimming pool close to Disneyland 

when suddenly unexpected fireworks 

exploded nearby and Gladys was 

frantic thinking there were gunshots! 

Gladys scurried out, ran to the pool 

and demanded the kids get back to the 

room immediately. 

Tracy recalled another memory 

from that trip when they stopped in 

Provo, Utah on a Sunday afternoon 

and the van refused to start. Skip was 

so mad he hit the starter with a 

hammer, the engine started and they 

made it back to Alberta. Life was 

always interesting and funfilled 

at the Slemp’s. 

Kerri remembers the 

amazing birthday cakes 

including Big Bird, Barbie 

Doll, Oscar the Grouch and a 

special one Gladys made with 

cream puffs to resemble the 

Easter Bunny. Gladys liked to 

prepare everything and was 

organized in advance for 

family feasts. 

Rick, being the youngest sibling, 

slept on a Murphy bed in Gladys’s 

sewing room. He recalls falling asleep 

as his Mom sewed clothes, amazing 

Hallowe’en costumes and bridesmaid 

dresses. Rick admired her skill as an 

artist, he, and each of his sisters have 

Family trees Gladys painted. Other 

subjects included paintings of the 

house in Fleet and a favourite truck. 

Gladys started working after graduation 

at the Weather Office in 

Coronation with Marion Lamontagne, 

Eugene Rovensky and Riley Workman. 

She worked as Meteorologist Officer 

for nine years but chose to remain at 

home before Tracy was born. Rick 

recalled visiting the Coronation 

Memorial Library where Gladys 

worked part time starting in 1979. 

The girls remembered their Mother 

studying late at night to improve her 

qualifications. Her family were 

thrilled when she was honoured by 

Parkland Regional Library as 

Librarian of the Year in 1999. 

She continued working at the 

Coronation Library for several years 

after Skip retired in 2002. 

Gladys and I started “Tuesday 

Sisters Book Club” many years ago to 

meet with friends to discuss a variety 

of challenging, entertaining and controversial 

topics and to get together for 

fellowship. Turn to Her, Pg 13

One way to make money is to get a job. But that is not possible for 

everyone. Often times kids can’t get jobs because they are too young. 

But that hasn’t stopped kids around the world from finding clever 

ways of earning some cash. Some kids, like Jason, turn doing 

something they love into a way of earning money.

Her priority was her family 


Her love of books, extensive knowledge and 

understanding of characters and words made her 

the solid core of our group. She truly believed 

Dr.Seuss’s quotation about the importance of 

reading and exploring our world through books. 

Gladys spent countless hours researching 

information about the Schlemp/Slemp family and 

located ancestors going back eight generations to 

the late 1600s. In the preface of the extensive 

volume she published, she stated: “To know 

where you’re going you must first know from 

where you came.” She also stated: “I expect that 

this consuming pastime of “digging for our roots 

“ will consume much of my remaining years.” 

Her trip with Kerri to Ireland to learn more 

about her Cowan and Switzer roots was a memorable 

experience for both Kerri and her mom. 

She posted on the internet an open offer to help 

strangers by locating headstones at the 

Coronation Cemetery and trying to find obituaries. 

I know she made many friends through her 

interest in genealogy and the courses she taught 

through Further Education. She assisted many 

adopted people to find their birth families using 

her Genealogical skills. 

Music has always been important to both Skip 

and Gladys. He and Cecil encouraged Sadie and 

Gladys to take music lessons for three years in 

Stettler when Kerri was quite young. Sadie 

played the sax and Gladys the clarinet. Sadie said 

Gladys was a wonderful listener and so honest 

and trustworthy. 

Gladys has been described by her friends as an 

elegant yet feisty lady who was interested in the 

world and in politics. Her routine included 

reading at least two daily newspapers. She was 

up to date on the latest technology texting family 

and skyping with grand and great grandchildren 

whom she adored! Gladys was a happy, positive 

person whose priority was her family, her 

friends, her pets (including tiny Meeka), her community 

and her garden. 

Rick remembers the summer he and Skip dug 

out the water garden and worked so hard to make 

the Slemp backyard a piece of heaven, a safe spot 

for bluejays, woodpeckers, hummingbirds and 

those hated crows! Gladys had a green thumb and 

grew beautiful roses, clematis and peonies. She 

and Skip treasured winning the 1992 

Beautification Residential Award presented by 

the Coronation Chamber of Commerce. 

We will remember Gladys as a wonderful 

friend to many. We will miss her giggles, laugh 

and enjoyment of a good joke. She was a faithful 

member of the 55+ Bible Study Group and appreciated 

their support and encouragement to know 

Our Lord. 

At our March Book Club, hosted by Gladys, we 

discussed “The Nightingale “ by Kristen 

Hannah. One of the characters commented: “You 

are my sunlight in the dark and the ground 

beneath my feet.” To each of Gladys’s family, this 

summarizes how important and loved each of 

you were to her. She enriched the lives of countless 

people but now it is time to bid farewell. 

Gladys is survived by her mother, Helen Neal, 

her daughters: Tracy (Dwayne) Reberger, and her 

children Kristin (Kris) Kremp ((Isabella and 

Tye)) and Logan Graham, Marla 

(Curtis) Rush and her son Travis; 

Kerri (James) McPhee and her daughters, 

Rebecca and Lauren; and her son

Cards of Thanks 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank 

everyone for thei expressions of sympathy 

through flowers, cards, phone calls, hugs, food 

dropped off at the house, lawn maintenance, 

attendance at the funeral and memorial donations. 

Your support will always be remembered. 

Mom loved the supportive community she lived 

in and her friends and the groups she belonged to 

which brought her many hours of shared 

laughter, discussions and debates. You were 

always there for her, which allowed her to continue 

to live so independently. 

Pastor Grice, we thank you for your kindness 

and compassion for mom and the family. The 

ladies of the Evangelical Free Church for the 

wonderful lunch you provided 

after the service. 

Pat Watson for sharing 

such a memorable eulogy 

and Barbie, Margaret and 

Brenda for your gift of 

music. 

Heather Caseley and the 

Coronation Funeral Home, 

for your patience and professionalism, 

caring about 

the smaller meaningful 

things, and providing such a 

beautiful service. You are 

family. 

A special thanks to the 

Gerber’s for keeping up the 

yard maintenance. 

A simple thank you to 

everyone will never be 

enough, but is meant with 

the utmost gratitude.

Firm believer in family ties 

Nancy Tainsh was born on 

November 22, 1919 to Smith and Emma 

Hill. She grew up with her two 

brothers, Vincent and Leslie, and her 

sister, Frances, north of Monitor. She 

attended Camrose Normal School to 

further her education to become a 

teacher. 

She started her teaching career in a 

variety of different schools until she 

married Otto Seim in 1944. 

Together they were blessed with five 

children; Connie, Larry, Corinne, 

Norma and Arnold while they farmed 

in the Antelope Park district. 

In the fall of 1960, Nancy took a job 

offer in Altario, Ab. where all her children 

were able to finish their 

schooling. Otto passed away in 1963. 

After marrying Les Hawtin in 1970, 

Nancy took a teaching position in 

Consort. Sadly, Les passed away 

shortly after the move. 

She continued her teaching career 

until she met her new love…Doug 

Tainsh. 

Doug brought many years of love 

and joy to Nancy’s life. At the Tainsh 

farm with Jim, Donna, Nonavee, 

Palmer and Dawn, she became 

grandma to many more people. 

She continued her life in Consort 

with Doug until he passed on. She 

later moved to Stettler where she 

resided until her passing on May 10, 

2016. Turn to So, Pg 15

Council cautioned to interpret financial statements as a whole 


Debt limit 

The village’s total debt limit available 

in 2015 was $1,975,252 and in 2014 it 

was $2,664,985. The total debt-servicing 

limit available in 2015 for Alix was 

$520,739 compared with $575,280 in 

2014. 

But Luymes cautions in his report to 

the village that the calculation alone 

doesn’t represent the financial stability 

of the municipality but rather 

the financial statements must be interpreted 

as a whole. 

In his report, Luymes said, “The 

budget adopted by council on May 6, 

2015, was not prepared on a basis consistent 

with that used to report actual 

results (Public Sector Accounting 

Standards). 

The budget was prepared on a modified 

accrual basis while Public Sector 

Accounting Standards now require a 

full accrual basis. 

Luymes said, “The budget anticipated 

use of surpluses accumulated in 

previous years to fund current year 

operation and capital activities. 

Amortization was not budgeted. The 

budget expenses all tangible capital 

expenditures.” 

Village passes 2016 budget 

The Village of Alix passed its 2016 

capital and operating budget May 4 

with a 2.99 per cent increase in taxes. 

“Council wanted to keep it (increase) 

under three per cent,” said acting 

Chief Administrative Officer Tanya 

Meston. 

The 2016 budget includes $1,629, 881 

in revenue ($863,735 in residential 

taxes; $284,398 in commercial taxes; 

$472,957 in industrial taxes; $26,635 – 

power and pipe; and $2,155 in federal 

grants in lieu). 

Other taxes include $42,000 for Atco 

franchise payment and $185,474 for 

Fortis franchise fee. Other revenue 

include: penalties $50,000; penalties 

and costs utilities $5,000; investments 

$5,000 and miscellaneous revenue 

$15,000. 

The village budgeted $426,564 for 

general administration expenses for 

2016. In 2015 council budgeted $436,216 

for general admin expenses and the 

actual was $471,224. Medical building 

expenses were budgeted at $3,554 for 

2016, down from $9,362 in 2015. 

Council budgeted $411,353 for the 

youth centre in 2016 and $43,759 for fire 

protection. Other items in the 2016 

budget include: public works - 

$302,266; streets and roads - $340,829; 

recreation - $196,426; campground - 

$77,401; trail - $43,656; arena - $52,959; 

parks - $52,286; library - $25,444; and 

community hall - $8,350. 

Council budgeted $111,711 for sewer 

(lift station) in 2016. The village’s 

10-year capital budget shows $1,755,000 

budgeted for sewer. 

Aging infrastructure to cost 

Earlier this year a delegation from 

MPE Engineering told Alix council 

that more than $4 million in capital 

work needs to be done in the next five 

to six years just to stay ahead of the 

village’s aging 

infrastructure. 

Three main 

projects need to 

be completed in 

the next few years 

including the lift 

station, 49 St. 

sewer and lagoon 

upgrades. Mike 

Breunig of MPE Engineering told 

council that the village needs to do 

projects every few years in the coming 

decades to catch up to repairs of its 

aging infrastructure.

So much more 


It wasn’t because she was 

an artist, had a love for 

travel, a green thumb, or 

that she was selfless, kind 

and generous…it wasn’t 

even because she was 

patient, hospitable and mild 

mannered, or that she was 

morally strong and a firm 

believer in family ties...it’s 

not even the fact that she 

was non-judgmental, noncomplaining 

and a keeper of 

secrets…it is because she 

was all of these and so much 

more that made her such a 

remarkable lady.

Generous donation to 

the Hanna Library 

Sandy Van Bussel presented a generous 

donation on behalf of her late 

mother, Mary Bye to the Hanna 

Municipal Library on Sat. May 14 at 

the Willow Creek Bistro in Hanna, Ab. 

Others attending the low key event 

included Hon. Kevin Sorenson, M.P., 

Mayor Chris Warwick, Special Areas 

Board Chair Jordon Christianson and 

Marigold Library 

System Michelle 

Toombs. 

Bussel gave a 

narrative about the 

donation and her 

mother. 

Mary Bye, a 

British war bride, 

arrived in Hanna to 

join her husband, 

Austin Bye, in 

September 1946. 

Carrying their 

six month old 

daughter, Laraine, 

in her arms, 

imagine Mary’s 

shock when she 

sized up the small, 

dusty town of 

Hanna. So happy to 

be reunited with the love of her life, 

Mary took on the daily challenges of 

an agricultural community. She had 

never experienced snow and she had to 

learn how to cook. 

It wasn’t long until she met other 

war brides and monthly ‘sewing club’ 

gatherings were organized. These 

ladies were able to laugh and cry and 

support each other in their new 

country. This club lasted for more that 

forty years. 

Two more daughters, Sandy and 

Bonnie, completed the ‘Bye’ family. 

Life in Hanna was certainly different 

from her city life in England. As 

a child, Mary buried herself in books. 

She continued her love of the written 

word into her adult life. Her love of 

reading was instilled in her three 

daughters. Their weekly trips to the 

Hanna Municipal 

Library, to choose 

the maximum 

quota of books, 

were eagerly 

anticipated. 

Mary believed 

that the library 

was more than a 

place to borrow 

books. She volunteered 

her services 

in many ways. She 

often entertained 

groups with 20 

minute recitations 

that she had 

learned as a child 

and with her beautiful 

reading voice, 


she read storied to 

the young people of 

the Hanna area. Mary was a talented 

songstress as well and she sang well in 

to her eighties. 

It is important to support the library 

because of its positive, far reaching 

impact in the community. Reading and 

acquiring the love of the written word 

contributes to a lifetime of learning. 

For these reasons this endowment has 

been made to the Hanna Municipal 

Library in honour of my mother, Mary 

Bye. 

Sandy Van Bussel, right, has made a very 

generous donation to the Hanna Municipal 

Library, in the memory of her mother Mary 

Bye. Left is library board chair, Evange 

Lamson. 

Stuck out on the highway 


Four and a half hours later this fire 

had been contained and Hiscock was 

finally heading out of town alongside 

thousands of other evacuees. 

My breaking point 

During this time, Hiscock said she 

was “petrified”. She said you could 

“feel the heat of the fire, see the flames 

and couldn’t even turn on the air conditioning 

because all the car would 

suck in was hot air”. 

Eighteen of her 

family members met 

on Hwy #881 near the 

Anzac shelter to take 

a head count and 

form a convoy as they 

drove to Gibbons, Ab. 

Hiscock said her 

breaking point came 

while stuck out on 

the highway. “There 

were people broke 

down everywhere, 

families on the side of 

the road with their 

pets, abandoned vehicles, it was like a 

scene from a movie”. 

Her gas tank reading zero, an elderly 

dog having seizures that she thought 

would die while in their car, the slow 

moving traffic and a little girl crying 

and scared was not only stressful but 

emotionally exhausting, she shared. 

At the moment, as far as she knows, 

due to the lack of updated information 

being provided to residents of “Fort 

Mac”, her home is still standing. She 

thinks in part to a stubborn elderly 

gentlemen in her neighbourhood who 

refused to leave and continued to spray 

his, and nearby yards, with water from 

his garden hose - that along with a bit 

of good luck from the changing winds. 

Hiscock, however has learned of 

many homes which have been looted 

and robbed and shared her frustration 

by not only the inconsistent and outdated 

information that is being 

provided to the public on the situation 

but the fact that she doesn’t understand 

why the military hasn’t been 

allowed to go in and help. 

As far as she has heard, all but 30 

people who are in Fort Mac to deal 

with the fires are on the 

front lines. 

Those additional 30 

people are the only ones 

left to protect the homes 

that are still standing 

from vandalism and 

robbery. 

The silver-lining in 

the midst of the grey, 

smoky clouds in her 

life, aside from the fact 

that her family is safe 

Jade Hiscock and Hailey Ash (although she expressed 

a great deal of guilt 

over having left their 

fish behind) despite being told that it 

may not be for another four to eight 

weeks before they can return home, 

and if then it may be only to gather 

valuables and leave, has been the 

warm, overwhelming welcome from 

Coronation. 

Hiscock told the ECA Review, “My 

daughter Hailey and I would like to 

thank the beautiful Town of 

Coronation for opening their hearts, 

along with donating items to us in our 

time of need. Words cannot express 

how thankful we are. 

“I would also like to thank the school 

for making Hailey feel at ease during a 

very difficult time. Thank you.”
