water tower<br />

Submitted<br />

The Town of Provost’s water tower<br />

was built in Ontario and it is<br />

believed that it was shipped to<br />

Provost by rail where it was assembled<br />

just west of the MD of Provost<br />

building in 1952. The tank can hold<br />

62,500 imperial gallons.<br />

The 81 foot tower was taken down<br />

in 1995 then moved to Doug Hall’s<br />

property just south of the Case<br />

Building (Crescent Point Energy).<br />

It’s last move was to the museum site<br />

Feb. 14, 2006.<br />

An early color of the tower was<br />

silver but later was painted green.<br />

The tower now sports a new coat of<br />

green paint and will stand to just<br />

over half its original height when<br />

erected.<br />

ECA Review/Submitted<br />

Stettler County reverses previous tax decision<br />

Debra Johnston<br />

ECA Review reporter<br />

Stettler County Council<br />

reversed its May 2016 decision to<br />

deny tax forgiveness on the<br />

McKay Family Joint Venture lots<br />

located in Heartland Business<br />

Park after Greg Hayden presented<br />

council with a new request<br />

at the Aug.10 regular meeting.<br />

Hayden was looking for a<br />

10-year agreement with the<br />

county to forgive 100 per cent of<br />

the municipal portion of the property<br />

taxes on unsold lots.<br />

Under the agreement, once the<br />

lots are sold, full taxes would be<br />

paid.<br />

According to Hayden, because<br />

the lots are serviced, rezoning<br />

them back to agricultural land,<br />

which carries a lower tax rate<br />

than commercial zoning, was not<br />

an option. After the May decision,<br />

the group had considered<br />

the rezoning.<br />

Council opted to approve 100<br />

per cent forgiveness of the municipal<br />

portion for 2016. The amount<br />

forgiven was $23,179.79 of the total<br />

tax of $31,959.21.<br />

Strong stance gets results<br />

A weed notice issued by the<br />

county to Alberta Transportation<br />

to spray wormwood growing in<br />

highway ditches has garnered<br />

immediate results.<br />

Weed spraying progress very good, says Beaumont<br />

Cont’d from Pg 1<br />

Quinton Beaumont,<br />

Director of Agricultural<br />

Services Board, reported to<br />

council that Renu-L-Tech<br />

Environmental Services is<br />

currently spraying the<br />

ditches.<br />

According to Beaumont,<br />

Highways 56, 12, 850 and 853<br />

have been completed and<br />

work on 53, 21, 835 and 590 is<br />

continuing.<br />

The county issued 22 weed<br />

notices to the province for<br />

the areas in need of<br />

spraying, according to<br />

Assistant CAO Yvette<br />

Cassidy.<br />

“Considering how much<br />

he’s spraying, progress is<br />

very good,” stated<br />

Beaumont.<br />

A weed notice to Alberta<br />

Transportation effectively<br />

tells the province to uphold<br />

its own Weed Control Act to<br />

control noxious or prohibited<br />

weeds along its<br />

highways. Because wormwood<br />

is a noxious weed, the<br />

county had the authority to<br />

issue the notice.<br />

Other municipalities are<br />

noticing the results.<br />

“It’s very good the County<br />

of Stettler took the lead on<br />

this,” stated Deputy Mayor<br />

Les Stulberg.<br />

Council approved a<br />

motion to bring a resolution<br />

to the Central Zone of<br />

Alberta Association of<br />

Municipal Districts and<br />

Counties (AAMDC) that the<br />

provincial government provide<br />

more effective<br />

vegetation control along<br />

WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR?<br />

provincial highways. If<br />

endorsed, the resolution will<br />

proceed to the AAMDC resolutions<br />

committee.<br />

Lake residents<br />

want direction<br />

Buffalo Lake residents are<br />

seeking direction from the<br />

county on two fronts: how to<br />

deal with deadfall along the<br />

lakeshore in front of their<br />

properties as well as where<br />

to store docks or boat<br />

launches during the winter.<br />

A delegation of property<br />

owners brought their concerns<br />

to council in order to<br />

get clarification on removal<br />

of deadfall if the county<br />

can’t or won’t remove what<br />

the property owners regard<br />

as a fire and safety hazard.<br />

Johan van der Bank,<br />

Director of Planning and<br />

Development, recommended<br />

that council get legal advice<br />

for a draft of Policy 1.33<br />

Maintenance and Protection<br />

of Reserve Land, which lays<br />

out things like county permission<br />

to remove deadfall,<br />

indemnity insurance, fines<br />

and security deposits.<br />

Council approved a<br />

motion to get legal advice on<br />

the draft policy.<br />

Council also gave first<br />

reading to Bylaws 1569-16<br />

and 1570-16. The first is to<br />

amend Land Use Bylaw<br />

1443-10 to allow for temporary<br />

private storage of boat<br />

lifts or docks on environment<br />

reserve land and the<br />

second is to allow for specific<br />

reserve lands to be<br />

used for said storage.<br />

Some properties,<br />

especially those not on the<br />

waterfront, have nowhere to<br />

store docks or lifts. Owners<br />

are seeking a way to either<br />

store them on ER or reserve<br />

land through a permitting<br />

system. The public hearing<br />

on both bylaws will be at the<br />

next county meeting.<br />

Erosion gets<br />

emergency fix<br />

Rob Grandfield appeared<br />

before council to make an<br />

appeal on behalf of Abbey<br />

Road residents for emergency<br />

funding to install 120<br />

feet of rip-rap to prevent<br />

shoreline erosion.<br />

According to Grandfield,<br />

$15,000 worth of rip-rap<br />

would prevent further erosion<br />

of the Buffalo Lake<br />

beach and flooding of treed<br />

areas that are not currently<br />

protected by the berm previously<br />

developed by<br />

residents.<br />

Council approved funding<br />

the project from Special<br />

Recreational Funds.<br />

Third year running<br />

for festival<br />

The county will again be a<br />

sponsor of the Stettler<br />

Pheasant Festival for the<br />

third year of the successful<br />

event.<br />

Donna Morris gave an<br />

update to council about<br />

plans for this year’s festival,<br />

which already has 100 hunts<br />

sold.<br />

“We’re please with this<br />

based on Alberta’s<br />

economy,” stated Morris of<br />

the number of hunts sold.<br />

Council approved a platinum<br />

sponsorship of $5000.<br />

Lock it up<br />

Property related crimes<br />

are up across the province<br />

especially in rural areas but<br />

that comes as “no surprise”<br />

to RCMP Sgt. Phil Penny,<br />

who gave a quarterly update<br />

to council.<br />

Economic factors have<br />

added to the rise, although<br />

Penny stated it’s beginning<br />

to taper off.<br />

Penny attributed this to<br />

the economy stabilizing<br />

somewhat.<br />

Items stolen from the<br />

Stettler area have shown up<br />

as far away as Cranbrook,<br />

BC.<br />

Penny stressed the need for people<br />

to do simple things to deter theft, like<br />

locking cars and doors, and keeping<br />

records that would make identifying<br />

stolen items easier.<br />

“Write down serial numbers. These<br />

are all basic things that people don’t<br />

do.”<br />

LACOMBE COUNTY<br />

County partners with conservation group<br />

Lisa Joy<br />

ECA Review reporter<br />

<br />

Lacombe County is partnering with<br />

Alternative Land Use Services (ALUS)<br />

that lets landowners tap into funding<br />

for conservation improvements.<br />

The project was narrowly approved<br />

during Lacombe County’s regular<br />

meeting Aug. 11 in a split vote.<br />

Reeve Paula Law, along with Coun.<br />

Rod McDermand and Coun. Brenda<br />

Knight were against the county partnering<br />

with ALUS.<br />

Reeve Law pointed out that ALUS is<br />

“on the uptake from a number of<br />

municipalities” and asked if this could<br />

be sustained by ALUS.<br />

She added that there are a number of<br />

programs already available that deal<br />

with wetlands.<br />

“I’m concerned that if we go down<br />

this road the funds dry up from ALUS<br />

there will be pressure on us to continue<br />

once it’s started.”<br />

Another issue said Reeve Law, was<br />

how do you determine who gets the<br />

money.<br />

“How do you decide if there are lots<br />

(landowners) competing and only x<br />

amount of dollars?”<br />

And Reeve Law said she doesn’t<br />

agree with a push to make Lacombe<br />

County producers more environmentally<br />

astute.<br />

“I’m taking exception with that.<br />

They (landowners) spend (a lot of<br />

money) to make sure they are environmentally<br />

astute. They don’t do it just<br />

for the bottom dollar, they also know<br />

they have to look after the land. It’s<br />

their livelihood. Their income for their<br />

kids and grandkids.”<br />

Coun. Brenda Knight said she sees<br />

the program’s merit but the $15,000<br />

total offered for a target of 858 acres<br />

wouldn’t go far in the farming community<br />

and asked if there would be<br />

pressure on the county to increase the<br />

amount of acres.<br />

“Potentially how big could this get<br />

for the county? I’m a little concerned<br />

about what it will become.”<br />

Coun. Rod McDermand said there<br />

were only 10 counties participating and<br />

those numbers didn’t “excite” him<br />

about the program.<br />

Coun. Barb Shepherd, Coun. Keith<br />

Stephenson, Coun. Dana Kreil and<br />

Coun. Ken Wigmore voted in favour of<br />

the county participating in ALUS.<br />

“It would encourage a producer to<br />

potentially be more environmentally<br />

conservative and sensitive,” said Coun.<br />

Shepherd. She added ALUS gives the<br />

county’s producers another avenue to<br />

manage their lands.<br />

Coun. Dana Kreil said Red Deer<br />

County’s participation in ALUS is a<br />

good example of the program working.<br />

“These young farmers are getting<br />

paid in slough areas,” she added. “It’s<br />

Hanna enters into agreement with AXIA<br />

Dena Clark<br />

ECA Review reporter<br />

The town of Hanna council members<br />

voted in favour of entering into a<br />

Municipal Access Agreement (MAA)<br />

with AXIA Connect Ltd. in front of<br />

over 25 interested community members<br />

at their last regular council<br />

meeting on Tues., Aug. 9.<br />

Council, through their 2016 community<br />

campaign, identified that the<br />

Town of Hanna has both the need and<br />

desire to have a fibre optic network in<br />

the community.<br />

According to CAO, Kim Neill’s<br />

report to council, the MAA is an agreement<br />

that will provide access to<br />

anyone requiring utility access on<br />

town property (such as back alleys,<br />

under roadways, ecetcera). There is<br />

currently no funding proposed in the<br />

MAA from AXIA to the town for the<br />

right to utilize these right-of ways.<br />

As per AXIA’s request, the town provided<br />

AXIA with a decision prior to<br />

July 30, 2016 therefore Hanna will be<br />

the next AXIA fibre optic community<br />

with the grid installation being completed,<br />

at AXIA’s cost, prior to the end<br />

of the 2016 calendar year.<br />

Neill went on to state in his report<br />

that council strongly believes that<br />

fibre is the way of the future and the<br />

best technology for the installation of a<br />

comprehensive broadband system for<br />

the Town of Hanna.<br />

However a challenge the town faces,<br />

Neill continued, is that an installation<br />

with this kind of comprehensive fibre<br />

system requires a 100 year contract,<br />

similar to the installation of tele-com<br />

system originally installed in Hanna<br />

by Alberta Government telephones.<br />

Therefore, Neill advised, council<br />

needs to be confident that all potential<br />

options for the installation of this fibre<br />

grid have been fully investigated to<br />

ensure they are making the best long<br />

term decision and not just the fastest,<br />

most inexpensive or seemingly risk<br />

free option.<br />

Another angle, Neill advised council<br />

consider is the risk benefit ration for<br />

opting to privatize.<br />

With Hanna being the largest urban<br />

centre in the Special Areas it could<br />

play a significant role in the viability<br />

of a regional broadband system for<br />

area.<br />

Being the largest fibre profit centre,<br />

the town makes the viability of a fibre<br />

system in the other towns and villages<br />

HANNA TOWN COUNCIL<br />

much more challenging as potential<br />

profits from Hanna in the long term<br />

will not be available to support the<br />

regional system.<br />

Credit Union investment<br />

Council voted in favour of investing<br />

just under $650,000 with the Chinook<br />

Credit Union at the Aug. 9 meeting.<br />

Hanna received their 2016 Municipal<br />

Sustainability Initiative (MSI) capital<br />

funding allocation in the amount of<br />

$645,978.<br />

However these funds were earmarked<br />

for two projects that will not<br />

be initiated until the Summer of 2017:<br />

1) The 3rd St. storm water outfall<br />

project which includes the construction<br />

of a new storm water outlet to CN<br />

Reservoir, the replacement and<br />

upsizing of water, sanitary and storm<br />

mains along 3rd St. West between 3rd<br />

Ave. West and Railway Ave. and road<br />

restoration work for an estimated cost<br />

of $1,200,000, and<br />

2) The construction of an addition to<br />

the existing public works shop for an<br />

estimated $400,000.<br />

CAO Neill explained in his report to<br />

council that if the funds were to be left<br />

in the general account at RBC they<br />

would accumulate 0.8 per cent interest<br />

or approximately $5,200 over one year.<br />

After requesting rates for term<br />

deposits from the four local banking<br />

institutions the Chinook Credit Union<br />

came in with the best rate at 1.85 per<br />

cent for a one year term with the penalty<br />

clause to remove the funds early<br />

being only 0.25 per cent, which still<br />

provided a rate of 1.6 per cent in the<br />

event the funds were required early.<br />

This would earn the town around<br />

$12,025 over the term of the investment,<br />

an increase of $6,825 over the<br />

interest that would be made if the<br />

funds remained in the general account<br />

with RBC.<br />

Library renovation update<br />

The library roofing has been completed<br />

according to Neill despite<br />

trouble on the west end of the library<br />

addition.<br />

Approximately 1500 square feet of<br />

insulation, found wet in the west end of<br />

the library portion, needed to be<br />

replaced at the quoted price of $1.95/sq.<br />

ft.<br />

The contractor also recommended<br />

installing two internal drains, one<br />

over the former council chambers and<br />

the other over the administration roof<br />

portion to drain low areas of the roof<br />

where standing water collects.<br />

Swimming pool<br />

The swimming pool will close on<br />

Aug. 28 for the season.<br />

New pool blankets arrived in July to<br />

replace the worn blankets that have<br />

been in use since the pool opened 11<br />

seasons ago.<br />

Preserve, restore and repurpose - The Hanna Roundhouse<br />

by John Kinnear<br />

Crowsnest Pass Herald<br />

These days, part of our Municipal<br />

Historic Resource Board’s focus is a lot<br />

like this article’s title and the beautiful<br />

Coleman Seniors Centre is a classic<br />

example of this tripartite approach of<br />

preserve, restore and repurpose.<br />

So this July when I toured the<br />

amazing train roundhouse and turntable<br />

at Hanna these important<br />

tenants of saving our heritage jumped<br />

out at me in spades.<br />

They are exactly what the executive<br />

director of the Hanna Roundhouse<br />

Society, Sandra Beaudoin has in mind<br />

for this iconic piece of railroad history.<br />

Sandra is as driven as any passionate<br />

preserver of heritage can be<br />

about their society’s mission. She has<br />

vision and imagination and is pushing<br />

ahead along with her board with both<br />

determination and gusto on what will<br />

be a long hard battle. This is the type<br />

of insight that has surfaced all across<br />

Canada as we fight to save those special<br />

historic pieces of our industrial<br />

growth.<br />

Roundhouses were an integral part<br />

of the development of the west and as<br />

railroads pushed into Southern and<br />

Northern Alberta, both CNR and CPR,<br />

picked divisional junction points along<br />

their routes to build these major train<br />

service centers. In Alberta, from<br />

Edson to Lethbridge to Medicine Hat<br />

and several other strategic locations,<br />

roundhouses were built to service the<br />

ever increasing number of<br />

steam trains that made their<br />

way across the prairies<br />

hauling new settlers and<br />

supplies into the newly<br />

developing lands and<br />

hauling precious commodities<br />

like No. 1 Marquis<br />

wheat back east to markets.<br />

There are precious few of<br />

these amazing structures<br />

remaining in Western<br />

Canada.<br />

Sometimes, like at<br />

Crowsnest on the border,<br />

which was a divisional point<br />

for CPR, we find that only<br />

the cement circle of the<br />

turnaround remains. From<br />

historic images it appears<br />

there was a small (four bay)<br />

roundhouse there along<br />

with the turnaround (turntable)<br />

on the south edge of<br />

Summit Lake.<br />

In other cases like Fort<br />

MacLeod we find a little<br />

more evidence like the<br />

roundhouse foundations for<br />

10 bays and the actual turntable<br />

steel frame.<br />

At Hanna, they have both<br />

the massive 10 stall roundhouse<br />

building totally intact<br />

as well as the immense<br />

heavy-duty turntable bridge<br />

in front of that huge fanshaped<br />

roundhouse.<br />

According to that intrepid<br />

rural explorer Chris<br />

Doering, “The turntable<br />

itself is very interesting. It’s<br />

essentially a bridge resting<br />

on a centre pivot, with support<br />

wheels at each end,<br />

resting on rails embedded in<br />

the turntable pit wall.<br />

“A simple and compact<br />

arrangement, this allowed<br />

an engine to align with a<br />

specific stall, or to be<br />

turned. To power them they<br />

utilized a turbine type<br />

motor using steam from the<br />

power plant (or the locomotive<br />

itself), or simply an<br />

electric motor.<br />

“At smaller facilities, the<br />

turntable was moved by the<br />

Armstrong method –<br />

meaning the train crew<br />

pushed it. Either arrangement<br />

required the<br />

locomotive to be almost perfectly<br />

balanced on the<br />

turntable.”<br />

(Check out Chris and<br />

Connie Doering’s amazing<br />

website: Off the Beaten Path<br />

at bigdoer.com)<br />

At one time Hanna had 15<br />

stalls, five were added later<br />

in 1919 - 1922 in the brick<br />

addition which was torn<br />

down in 2012 by the Town of<br />

Hanna for safety reasons.<br />

Future plans of the Hanna<br />

Roundhouse Society is to<br />

rebuild this beautiful brick<br />

addition over the existing<br />

floor which remains.<br />

Canadian Northern<br />

Railroad drafting of this<br />

roundhouse distinctly show<br />

a total of 25 stalls, with five<br />

stall sections added at a<br />

time.<br />

Probably the largest<br />

roundhouse that I know of is<br />

the John Street Roundhouse<br />

in downtown Toronto, which<br />

was build in 1929 - 31 and at<br />

one time had an incredible<br />

32 bays for engines. It now<br />

serves as a home to the<br />

amazing Toronto Railway<br />

Museum.<br />

To tour the Hanna roundhouse<br />

was truly a humbling<br />

experience as the massive<br />

size and function of this<br />

industrial site was breathtaking.<br />

The rock solid post<br />

and beam construction<br />

inside gave great assurance<br />

to the buildings stability and<br />

usability for other purposes.<br />

The roof covering that<br />

spans between the support<br />

beams is two by eight’s (true<br />

dimension) on edge! The<br />

massive double entry doors<br />

challenged my imagination<br />

Presented by the Alberta Rural Physician Action Plan and the Town of Vermilion<br />

as to what it must have<br />

looked like when one of<br />

these prairie workhorses<br />

chuff chuffed its way into<br />

the building off of the turntable<br />

and pulled up over a<br />

drop pit inside for servicing.<br />

Canada’s Penny an Olympic superstar<br />

by Bruce Penton<br />

Canada’s sports editors won’t have to<br />

wait until December to send in their<br />

votes for this country’s<br />

female athlete of the year.<br />

The penny coin might be<br />

history, but our Penny is<br />

making history.<br />

Penelope (Penny) Oleksiak<br />

of Toronto went from a virtual<br />

unknown on the<br />

Canadian sports scene to an<br />

athlete with immediate firstname<br />

status during the first<br />

week of the Summer<br />

Olympics at Rio. Tiger.<br />

LeBron. Arnie. Now Penny.<br />

And she’s only 16.<br />

From Vancouver Island to Cape<br />

Spear, Newfoundland, Penny Oleksiak<br />

became an overnight sensation when<br />

she was part of a relay swim team that<br />

won Canada’s first medal at the<br />

Olympics in Rio and then proceeded to<br />

win three more, including a gold in the<br />

<br />

Penton<br />

100-metre freestyle, on her own. No<br />

Canadian athlete has won more<br />

medals in one Summer Olympics.<br />

While Oleksiak and the<br />

Olympics is all about winning,<br />

there is one loser in all<br />

this. Golfer Brooke<br />

Henderson may want to send<br />

a note to Oleksiak saying a<br />

sarcastic ‘thanks’ for stealing<br />

the athlete-of-the-year award<br />

from her grasp. Until Penny’s<br />

performance at Rio,<br />

Henderson and her No. 2<br />

world ranking in women’s<br />

golf, and her major victory at<br />

the KPMG Women’s PGA<br />

Championship in June, had given her a<br />

virtual lock on the award.<br />

Henderson has 2017 through 2019 to<br />

try to win the national award, but<br />

when 2020 comes around, it will be<br />

another opportunity for Oleksiak to<br />

shine on an Olympic stage. And<br />

former Canadian Olympian, Oleksiak<br />

will be stronger and better in four<br />

years.<br />

Meanwhile, major colleges in the<br />

U.S. are salivating at the thought of getting<br />

Oleksiak to attend and compete for<br />

their NCAA schools for the next four<br />

years. Some observers are suggesting,<br />

however, that Oleksiak could eschew<br />

college and turn professional. One estimate<br />

had her possibly earning a<br />

minimum of $250,000 in her first year<br />

from endorsements contracts with<br />

swimming gear companies alone. In<br />

Canada, her smiling face would also<br />

likely show up in commercials for<br />

banks and major companies such as<br />

Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons and Sport<br />

Chek.<br />

The continuing bad news is<br />

Alberta’s government remains<br />

unwilling to abandon ideological<br />

policies in favour of proven<br />

solutions to get our economy moving<br />

and protect working families.<br />

Solutions like keeping taxes low for<br />

families, promoting trade, spending<br />

within our means and restoring the<br />

Alberta Advantage.<br />

Typically, the first thing ideological<br />

governments do when the economy<br />

begins to weaken is look for a scapegoat:<br />

blame the price of oil, blame the<br />

Strankman<br />

shrinking economy. Jobs<br />

are being lost. Less is<br />

being produced. Trade is<br />

declining. Without the<br />

kind of economic growth that lifts all<br />

people, political divide-and-conquer<br />

tactics lead to divide-and-flounder<br />

results.<br />

Alberta is here.<br />

Unwilling to budge from its prerecession<br />

agenda Alberta’s new<br />

government chooses which businesses<br />

it will support through elaborate new<br />

tax-and-spend corporate welfare<br />

schemes, and which sectors of the<br />

labour force it will support through<br />

socialist economic policies.<br />

It’s bringing forward policies, like a<br />

new carbon tax and dramatic increase<br />

to the minimum wage, that are forcing<br />

small businesses to close their doors.<br />

In the heart of the deepest recession<br />

since the 1980s, the government is only<br />

making things worse.<br />

Across our province, Albertans are<br />

coming to the realization that we can<br />

do better than this, that we are better<br />

than this.<br />

It’s time to set the politics of division<br />

aside. We need more production. We<br />

need more trade. We need the kind of<br />

economic policies that offer new hope<br />

and new opportunity to all Albertans,<br />

those will provide more jobs.<br />

Some say that a rising tide floats all<br />

boats. It’s an apt metaphor, although it<br />

ignores a key truth: It wasn’t until a<br />

low economic tide that we have come<br />

to grasp the reality of the situation - we<br />

are all in the same boat.<br />

The financial reefs are getting<br />

uncomfortably close! It’s time to<br />

change course.<br />

ON THE OTHER HAND<br />

Winning the old<br />

fashioned way, earn it<br />

The International Olympics<br />

Committee needs to take a lesson from<br />

the Canadian Football League (CFL)<br />

when it comes to dealing with cheats.<br />

The Saskatchewan Roughriders<br />

football team was fined $15,000 two<br />

weeks ago for breaking the Canadian/<br />

American ratio rules. Last week they<br />

were fined $60,000 and had their salary<br />

cap reduced by $26,000 for another rule<br />

violation, specifically practicing with<br />

unsigned players.<br />

In the CFL these are big fines with<br />

significant impact on a team.<br />

It seems the vice president of<br />

Football Operations, Chris Jones, who<br />

is both general manager and coach,<br />

made a shoddy attempt to bring his<br />

team’s dismal 2016 season to victory by<br />

cheating.<br />

Cheating is pervasive in our society<br />

whether it’s Tom Brady’s involvement<br />

in deflating footballs to win super<br />

bowls, robocalls in politics, cheating in<br />

school, insider trading on Wall Street<br />

or cheating on taxes.<br />

What an excellent example CFL<br />

Commissioner, Jeffrey Orridge set<br />

when he took decisive action to<br />

penalize the Roughrider organization.<br />

He had a message, not only to the<br />

guilty party, to all teams that his job is<br />

to protect the competitive balance, the<br />

spirit of the CFL rules and the integrity<br />

of Canadian football.<br />

The CFL is unique because of its<br />

unique rules. American coaches, such<br />

as Chris Jones, want to import<br />

National Football League (NFL) ideas,<br />

but that’s not the name of the game in<br />

the CFL.<br />

Saskatchewan may be re-thinking<br />

their decision to hire Chris Jones or at<br />

least regret giving him so much power.<br />

Correction<br />

In the July 28 edition of the ECA<br />

Review, “Clean up of town property, ft.<br />

pg., July 28” Peggie Ginger of Out of<br />

the Cold was reported as being present<br />

at the meeting.<br />

It was in fact, Allison<br />

Fotheringham, co-owner of Out of the<br />

Cold, who attended the meeting.<br />

We apologize for this error.<br />

In an email to the ECA Review Ms.<br />

Fotheringham also stated “I do not<br />

remember saying that “I can do my job<br />

without a trap”, as catching cats is one<br />

of the main duties of Out of the Cold<br />

and using humane traps is the best<br />

way to do it. Rather, I recall saying<br />

something along the lines of I can do<br />

my job without the trap but that it will<br />

be difficult for the reason stated above.<br />

The ECA Review has made a request<br />

to Morrin village council for permission<br />

to record the meetings to avoid<br />

these memory differences for the purpose<br />

of accurate reporting and solving<br />

the ‘who said what’ issues.<br />

Jones went over from the Edmonton<br />

Eskimos to Saskatchewan to gain<br />

management power and increase his<br />

salary from $350,000 to $500,000 plus<br />

incentives. Incentive bonuses are tied<br />

to wins. To date, the Roughriders have<br />

one win under their belt.<br />

Orridge didn’t mince words. “The<br />

recent conduct, behaviour and activities<br />

of the Saskatchewan Roughriders<br />

have compromised the reputation of<br />

the CFL,” said Orridge.<br />

Unfortunately it has also compromised<br />

the reputation of the<br />

Saskatchewan Roughriders. Among<br />

fans of other teams, Saskatchewan has<br />

more often than not been the second<br />

team of choice —often referred to as<br />

Canada’s team.<br />

Jones’ actions have brought much<br />

disrepute to the most faithful of fans —<br />

Rider Nation — and it was<br />

unnecessary. Jones is a highly motivating<br />

and successful coach. In two<br />

short years, he took the dismal<br />

Eskimos from the basement to the<br />

Grey Cup. There is no reason why he<br />

shouldn’t win more Grey Cups in the<br />

future.<br />

Jones, upon his arrival, turned the<br />

entire Roughrider team upside down<br />

by trading their stars and bringing<br />

over many Grey Cup winning players<br />

and coaches from his former team the<br />

Eskimos.<br />

It appears he wanted instant results<br />

and lacked the patience to meld a new<br />

team together and produce a winner<br />

the old fashioned way through hard<br />

work and honesty.<br />

Hopefully for Rider Nation, Jones<br />

has learned that in the CFL you earn<br />

Grey Cups, you don’t cheat your way to<br />

one.<br />

Long road ahead<br />

Cont’d from Pg 4<br />

When it was built in 1913, the<br />

Hanna Roundhouse required a<br />

60,000 gallon water tank that<br />

necessitated the construction of a<br />

dam on a small meandering<br />

creek nearby.<br />

The interior has been modified<br />

somewhat as it has served several<br />

functions since it was<br />

officially closed in 1961,<br />

including a livestock auction<br />

market.<br />

Most of the drop pits have been<br />

filled in and the interior partitioned<br />

with a giant concrete<br />

firewall that presents a 9,500<br />

square foot area, which they<br />

refer to as the Great Hall, which<br />

can serve as a marvelous area for<br />

large special events.<br />

Every roundhouse had an<br />

attached machine shop/ boiler<br />

house building and Hanna was<br />

no different with a 3,700 square<br />

foot building that the Hanna<br />

Roundhouse Society envisions as<br />

an interpretive center/main<br />

entrance area with a coffee bar<br />

area and a visiting area for visitors<br />

and volunteers, with old<br />

photos to take the place of equipment<br />

until equipment is located.<br />

Being the curious coal miner<br />

that I am, the conversation with<br />

Sandra Beaudoin eventually led<br />

to the question of coal supply way<br />

out there in the prairies.<br />

I recall discovering in 2014 that<br />

Hillcrest Coal was shipped as far<br />

as Spokane for marketing<br />

because of its superior steam<br />

heating quality.<br />

Crowsnest Pass coals were<br />

considered some of the finest<br />

steam coal around and to my<br />

surprise Beaudoin indicated she<br />

thought that Crowsnest Coal was<br />

shipped to Hanna and was the<br />

preferred coal out at the<br />

roundhouse.<br />

In fact when it came to what<br />

coal to use for the trains, the<br />

engineers always opted for it<br />

because mountain coal would<br />

burn so much longer than flat<br />

land mined coal.<br />

However, most often coal<br />

mined locally from mines such<br />

as the Sheerness Mine just down<br />

the road from Hanna was used<br />

and abundantly available.<br />

It is ironic, I find, that the government<br />

is moving to shut down<br />

Sheerness which will, like it did<br />

here in the Pass, have a significant<br />

impact on the community of<br />

Hanna nearby. Westmoreland<br />

Coal operates Sheerness and has<br />

contracts to 2026.<br />

This mine has operated for 19<br />

years without a loss time accident<br />

(as of 2014). That is nothing<br />

short of remarkable. Are we<br />

really going to go down this<br />

road?<br />

For the Hanna Roundhouse<br />

Society there is a long complicated<br />

road ahead as the fight to<br />

preserve, restore and enhance<br />

this truly important piece of<br />

Central Alberta railway history<br />

carries on.<br />

Turn to Repurposing, Pg 20<br />

Halkirk’s Bullarama saw Richard Houston of Wainwright take the championship saddle home after<br />

scoring the most points on his bronc in the annual roughstock competition held this past Sat., Aug. 13<br />

in Halkirk. Event organizer, John de Mos told the ECA Review that although the attendance was down<br />

slightly this year the beautiful weather, generous sponsors, RCMP presence and family focused day<br />

made for another successful year. <br />

Yummy cucurbits<br />

Do you know what cucurbits are?<br />

They are the gourd family of vegetables,<br />

and they include delicious edibles<br />

such as zucchini, cucumber and<br />

squash. Sure, treating yourself to all<br />

kinds of field berries and eating corn<br />

on the cob are some of summer’s<br />

greatest pleasures, but locally grown<br />

cucurbits also deserve your attention.<br />

Grated or sliced and eaten raw, sautéed<br />

or roasted, you just can’t go wrong<br />

with these garden-fresh veggies.<br />

Strange pattypans<br />

With their little UFO shapes, pattypans<br />

are an intriguing yet delicious<br />

summer squash. The skin ranges from<br />

white to bright yellow, depending on<br />

the variety, and the firm, slightly<br />

sweet flesh has a vaguely artichokelike<br />

taste. Pattypans are particularly<br />

flavourful cooked on the barbecue<br />

then sliced into rounds and seasoned<br />

with olive oil, garlic and balsamic<br />

vinegar.<br />

Versatile zucchini<br />

Zucchini can be enjoyed a thousand<br />

different ways: raw, au gratin, baked<br />

or steamed, grilled, stuffed and stirred<br />

into an omelet or even a cake. The<br />

firm, moist flesh of zucchini contains<br />

B vitamins, potassium and rutin, an<br />

antioxidant in the flavonoid fa mily.<br />

When shopping, choose slender,<br />

smooth and firm zucchinis.<br />

Refreshing cucumber<br />

Composed of 95 per cent water,<br />

cucumbers are a refreshing treat<br />

during a heat wave. They’re also a real<br />

friend to those of us trying to lose a bit<br />

of weight.<br />

Cucumber is so re freshing raw that<br />

most people don’t realize it’s equally<br />

delicious cooked, especially when<br />

grilled on the barbecue. Try cucumber<br />

in salads, sandwiches and cold soups.<br />

Eating it unpeeled will help you stock<br />

up on several vitamins, minerals and<br />

antioxidants.<br />

Where to find the ultimate<br />

in flavour and freshness<br />

Whether it’s fruits, vegetables,<br />

cheese, bread or meat, doesn’t it feel<br />

good to prepare and savour it when<br />

it’s fresh and when you know it<br />

comes from a nearby producer? And<br />

where can you find produce that’s as<br />

fresh as it could possibly be? Directly<br />

from the producers or at a farmers<br />

market. At the market, you’ll find<br />

just-picked produce, fresh and frozen<br />

meat, preser ves, prepared dishes<br />

and all kinds of other treats.<br />

Not only can you stock up on all<br />

sorts of delicious and nutritious<br />

foods at the farmers market, but you<br />

can support farmers in your area<br />

and help the local economy. And<br />

that’s not all; you’re also protecting<br />

the environment by doing your grocery<br />

shopping close to home. That’s<br />

be cause the food you find at the<br />

sellers’ stalls didn’t have to tra vel<br />

hundreds or even thousands of kilometres<br />

be fore ending up on the table<br />

in front of you.<br />

This saves on fuel, but it also saves<br />

on packaging; food that co mes from<br />

your region doesn’t have to be overpackaged<br />

in order to survive a long<br />

trip on the road. In short, public markets<br />

are as good for the planet as<br />

they are for your taste buds.<br />

Public markets offer a more<br />

au thentic human experience, where<br />

people are friendly and the producers<br />

themselves can answer all<br />

your questions.<br />

They’re also more than happy to<br />

help you discover new foods that you<br />

might have always shied away from<br />

at the grocery store. So, what are you<br />

waiting for?<br />

Your Agricultural Services Department is<br />

Corn in the husk will keep well for several days in a cool place.<br />

Corn on the cob is<br />

a summer must<br />

Do you love going to corn roasts? Do<br />

you wait every summer for the arrival<br />

of those roadside stalls selling bags of<br />

freshly picked corn on the cob?<br />

Now, you can rejoice; corn season<br />

has finally arrived.<br />

Corn is native to Central America<br />

and is a gluten-free grain; in fact, it is<br />

often mistakenly considered to be a<br />

vegetable. It’s a source of fibre and several<br />

vitamins and minerals<br />

(phosphorus, in particular), and it’s<br />

delicious seasoned with butter and<br />

salt.<br />

It can, of course, be boiled in water,<br />

but you can also cook corn on the cob<br />

in the oven, in the microwave (in<br />

plastic wrap) or on the barbecue —<br />

with or without the husks.<br />

Whichever method you prefer, just<br />

don’t overcook it, or it will be mushy.<br />

How to choose corn<br />

Choosing good corn doesn’t mean<br />

having to peel back the husks one by<br />

one. Simply select cobs with bright<br />

green husks and make sure their kernels<br />

are large and plump by applying a<br />

bit of pressure with your fingers. If you<br />

don’t plan to eat it straight away, store<br />

the corn in a cool place, in the husk.<br />

Corn dries out quickly if you shuck it,<br />

but tightly wrapped in its husk, it<br />

keeps well for several days.<br />

Although corn is delicious when<br />

eaten on the cob, kernels are great to<br />

use in a variety of re cipes — think seafood<br />

chowder, vegetable soup, salad,<br />

homemade salsa and shepherd’s pie.<br />

Yummy, is your mouth watering yet?<br />

WE WORK HARD TO GAIN YOUR BUSINESS AND KEEP IT!<br />

Call anytime for a quote per acre.<br />

Distance is not an issue. By hauling our<br />

equipment we get to your fields sooner.<br />

Fog Fever recently reported<br />

Alberta Beef Producers<br />

Barry Yaremcio, Beef and<br />

Forage Specialist with<br />

Alberta Agriculture and<br />

Forestry, has reported the<br />

first confirmed case of<br />

Acute Bovine Pulmonary<br />

Emphysema and Edema<br />

(Fog fever, Bovine atypical<br />

interstitial pneumonia) in<br />

west central Alberta this<br />

year.<br />

Three animals have died<br />

and others are affected by<br />

the disease.<br />

Growing strong , sustainable<br />

communities together.<br />

Acute Bovine Pulmonary<br />

Emphysema and Edema<br />

(ABPEE) is one of the more<br />

common causes of acute<br />

respiratory distress in<br />

cattle, particularly adult<br />

beef cattle, and is characterized<br />

by sudden onset,<br />

minimal coughing, and a<br />

course that ends fatally or<br />

improves dramatically<br />

within a few days.<br />

Empty container<br />

recycling program<br />

Agri-News<br />

CleanFARMS, municipalities<br />

and ag-retailers are<br />

working together to recycle<br />

all empty pesticide containers,<br />

and farmers are<br />

reminded to return the right<br />

containers to the right place.<br />

“Smaller containers, that<br />

are less than 23 litres in size,<br />

should be returned to a<br />

municipal collection site,”<br />

says Kim Timmer,<br />

CleanFARMS.<br />

“Empty liquid fertilizer<br />

containers (less than 23<br />

litres) are also accepted.<br />

“All containers should be<br />

triple or pressure rinsed<br />

before they are brought in.<br />

“The cap and booklet<br />

should be removed and disposed<br />

of through the<br />

regular waste stream.<br />

“This ensures that the<br />

containers can be recycled<br />

properly.”<br />

All larger bulk pesticide<br />

containers, sometimes<br />

known as drums, totes or<br />

shuttles, should be returned<br />

to an ag-retailer or point of<br />

purchase.<br />

These containers must be<br />

empty and clean (when possible)<br />

with all closures in<br />

place.<br />

For more information, go<br />

to http://www.cleanfarms.<br />

ca/collection_sites.html<br />

also indicated that a number of cases<br />

were reported in Saskatchewan this<br />

summer.<br />

Fog fever is generally caused in<br />

cattle fed lush pastures where rumen<br />

source of the amino acid L-tryptophan<br />

is converted to 3-methyindole and<br />

absorbed into the bloodstream. This<br />

amino acid can be very high in lush,<br />

rapidly growing pastures.<br />

Treatment of affected animals is<br />

limited, and control is best shown by<br />

avoiding pastures likely to induce the<br />

disease.<br />

Use these pastures for strip grazing<br />

cattle under 15 months of age.<br />

Feeding livestock Rumensin prior to<br />

grazing them on suspect forage or pastures<br />

has been used to prevent the<br />

condition.<br />

The Redwater decision:<br />

a simple summary<br />

Custom Manure Spreading<br />

/Corral Cleaning<br />

Agri-News<br />

The Alberta court recently<br />

issued a decision regarding a<br />

trustee’s ability to renounce<br />

non-producing oil and gas<br />

assets in the event of a<br />

bankruptcy.<br />

Redwater Energy went into<br />

bankruptcy in 2015. A firm was<br />

appointed as the trustee responsible<br />

for selling assets and<br />

distributing the proceeds to<br />

cover Redwater’s debts. In this<br />

case, the trustee made a financial<br />

decision to renounce the<br />

non-producing wells.<br />

“Selling or reclaiming the<br />

wells would’ve incurred a cost<br />

and reduced the amount<br />

M&n<br />

ConstruCtion<br />

Coronation, aB<br />

(403) 578-2016<br />

available to pay the outstanding<br />

debts. Renouncing the assets<br />

means the trustee relinquished<br />

itself of the responsibility for<br />

abandonment and reclamation,”<br />

says Jeana Les, rural engagement<br />

and communications<br />

specialist with the Farmers’<br />

Advocate Office (FAO).<br />

The Alberta Energy<br />

Regulator (AER) argued that<br />

the company could not<br />

renounce its legislated responsibilities<br />

for abandonment and<br />

reclamation. It applied for a<br />

court order to have the trustee<br />

handle the end-of-life responsibilities<br />

for the assets it had<br />

renounced.<br />

Weed Seedling Guide<br />

(2nd Edition)<br />

Agri-News<br />

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry<br />

(AF) has updated its popular Weed<br />

Seedling Guide publication.<br />

“Early identification of grass and<br />

broad-leaved weeds saves time and<br />

money,” says Nicole Kimmel, weed specialist,<br />

AF, Edmonton. “The second<br />

edition of this convenient, pocket-size<br />

booklet helps producers and others<br />

correctly identify weed seedlings.<br />

Proper identification allows you to<br />

take the appropriate measures to deal<br />

with weeds.”<br />

The Weed Seedling Guide (2nd<br />

Edition) now includes a number of<br />

common winter annual weeds as well<br />

as additional weed species. “Overall,<br />

the text has been revised and updated,”<br />

says Kimmel. “To further help with<br />

identification, the guide now provides<br />

a comprehensive table highlighting<br />

commonly confused weeds.”<br />

The coil-bound publication features<br />

information on 62 broad-leaved weeds<br />

and 10 grasses. The weeds are organized<br />

by cotyledon (seed-leaf) shape to<br />

make identification easier, and the<br />

book has seed-leaf shape drawings and<br />

full-colour weed seedling images, a<br />

table of commonly confused weeds and<br />

a glossary of terms.<br />

Alberta Beef Producers<br />

Dr. Tim McAllister receives the 2016 Canadian<br />

Beef Industry Award for Outstanding Research<br />

and Innovation<br />

Respected nationally and internationally for<br />

his work on antimicrobial resistance, beef cattle<br />

nutrition, silage science, greenhouse gas emissions,<br />

E. coli O157:H7 and prion science, Dr. Tim<br />

McAllister was formally recognized tonight by<br />

the Canadian beef industry.<br />

Presented with the 2016 Canadian Beef<br />

Industry Award for Outstanding Research and<br />

Innovation at the inaugural Canadian Beef<br />

Industry Conference, he was honored by hundreds<br />

of producers and industry stakeholders,<br />

including many past and present colleagues and<br />

students.<br />

Dr. McAllister is a Principal Research<br />

Scientist at the Agriculture and Agri-Food<br />

Canada Lethbridge Research and Development<br />

Centre. He also holds adjunct appointments at six<br />

universities in Canada, as well as universities in<br />

China and Ghana. He has made phenomenal contributions<br />

to advancements in the<br />

competitiveness and sustainability of the<br />

Canadian beef industry through his passion and<br />

dedication to progressive science, and exceptional<br />

collaboration, leadership and<br />

communication with industry, as well as governments<br />

around the world.<br />

His research is helping beef producers in<br />

Canada remain as leaders in producing high<br />

quality beef in a safe and environmentally sound<br />

manner. Dr. McAllister has conducted years of<br />

research to develop a safe means of composting<br />

specified risk materials, which is influencing<br />

new regulations for their disposal following the<br />

BSE crisis is 2003. He has made tremendous<br />

advances in the area of antibiotic-resistant bacteria<br />

in cattle, which is leading to the<br />

development of alternatives to antibiotics.<br />

In addition, he has led many other important<br />

projects related to optimizing the nutrition of<br />

beef cattle.<br />

Most recently, he led a research project that<br />

found that the amount of greenhouse<br />

gas generated in producing one kilogram<br />

of Canadian beef has dropped<br />

by 15 per cent over the past three<br />

decades.<br />

Dr. McAllister brings current<br />

Canadian science to the global stage<br />

through his active participation in a<br />

number of international initiatives,<br />

including the UN’s Food and<br />

Agriculture Organizations Livestock<br />

Environmental Assessment and<br />

Performance (LEAP) Partnership.<br />

ice is closer<br />

Dr. McAllister takes a collaborative<br />

approach to research. He is well<br />

known for his ability to assemble and<br />

lead Canadian and International<br />

research teams to advance the field<br />

of beef science.<br />

Repurposing of buildings is key survival these days<br />

Cont’d from Pg 7<br />

As I stood in the center of this massive<br />

structure I could clearly hear the<br />

cheers from graduation classes posing<br />

for photos, music echoing out from a<br />

huge stage area at some gala event in<br />

the grand hall and see curious tourists<br />

like myself wandering around static<br />

displays and marveling at this special<br />

piece of railway history.<br />

Repurposing of buildings is key to<br />

many communities survival these<br />

days. It protects the original heritage<br />

of the structure and ensures it will be<br />

around for future generations to<br />

understand how they came to be.<br />

In June of 2015 the Hanna<br />

Roundhouse was designated a<br />

Provincial Heritage Resource and that<br />

August a reunion gathering of railroad<br />

retirees saw 130 former employees<br />

from as far away as Port Alberni show<br />

up.<br />

That Port Alberni retiree came with<br />

his great grand-daughter and<br />

Beaudoin said, “He was the last<br />

machinist that worked in the boiler<br />

room of the roundhouse, which closed<br />

in 1961.”<br />

My last word on repurposing would<br />

be to tell you this. The main span of the<br />

bridge that the CPR train passes over<br />

on the highway just south of Pincher<br />

on its way to the Shell’s Waterton sulphur<br />

plant is in fact an old turntable<br />

from either the Lethbridge or Empress<br />

roundhouse.<br />

Now that’s repurposing.<br />

I watched sadly as the very last CPR<br />

house at Crowsnest was summarily<br />

hauled away last year.<br />

I have also watched the moving of<br />

and participated in the wonderful restoration<br />

of the CPR station in Fernie<br />

years ago.<br />

Industrial heritage preservation is<br />

not an easy road but if ever an industrial<br />

site deserved to be saved it is the<br />

Hanna Roundhouse.<br />
