ECA Review 

Three local students sang on 

America’s grandest stage – 

Carnegie Hall in New York. 

Coronation’s Aiden 

Kobi,Shailyn Anderson from 

Castor and Emma Werbowesky 

from Stettler were all selected for 

the 2018 High School Honors 

Performance Series to sing 

under master conductors at 

Carnegie Hall that ran from Feb. 

1 - 5. 

“I can’t even put it into words, 

it was such an amazing experience 

standing on stage and 

looking out at a whole bunch of 

people and having a whole bunch 

of people around you that love 

doing the same thing,” said 

Aiden. 

His voice coach, Rhonda 

Sylvester of Stettler, who nominated 

Aiden for this once in a 

lifetime experience, said his 

voice is unique. 

“He has a unique voice with a 

lot of musicality to it. There’s no 

words for it. It’s just unique. Not 

the same voice type or style of a 

lot of people. It’s special because 

it is unique and not very many 

people have those same 

qualities.” 

When nominating students 

Rhonda also takes into consideration 

a student’s work ethic.

Emergency planning survey to be implemented 

Students perform in Carnegie Hall 

Cont’d from Pg 1 

“Aiden is a hard worker. He travels 

once a week to see me for lessons and 

to be a part of the 

Gracenotes Choir. 

He is one of the section 

leaders. 

They’re responsible 

for everyone else

ECA Review 

The County of Paintearth council 

has given approval for Emergency 

Management to 

 

Thousands of students 

apply for the 

approximate 250 

spots so another 

factor for Rhonda when endorsing a 

youth is the student’s personality. 

“The kids that I recommend have to 

have an outgoing personality. 

“I want kids who are outgoing to go 

and make the most of it and not be shy 

and get themselves out there and just 

really have a good time through music 

and the experience of being with other 

people and kids with the same love of 

them.” 

Aiden was surprised to find out he 

was one of the elite vocalists selected 

Paintearth council 

proceed with an emergency preparedness 

questionnaire during the regular 

meeting on Feb. 21. 

“We are asking the questions that 

people need to ask themselves,” stated 

Director of Emergency Management, 

Alix council 

to sing at Carnegie Hall. 

Shailyn Anderson from Castor and 

Emma Werbowesky from Stettler, also 

performed, who have all been singing 

with Rhonda Sylvester in Stettler since 

a very young age. 

There were more than 12,000 nominations 

for the 2018 series from which 

700 were chosen. 

Kobi performed in the Honours 

Concert Choir while Anderson and 

Werbowesky performed in the 

Women’s Choir. 

Top voice and instrumental students 

from around the world participated in 

Carnegie Hall’s Grade 9 – 12 performance 

series where they rehearse and 

perform under master conductors. 

“The people was the best part,” said 

Aiden. “The songs and the whole performance 

was great but the people 

there was my favourite.” 

Aiden started taking voice lessons in 

about Grade 2. 

“I sang more classical and opera 

style music.” 

The Grade 10 student also plays the 

piano and he’s not certain if he will 

pursue a career in music. 

“I’m not sure where I would like to

Amount paying to lease holder questioned 

Lisa Joy 

ECA Review 

The Village of Alix, by moving 

$56,000 in the books from a line item 

from capital to financing, saves the village 

$60,000 in penalty fees. 

In January Alix council refinanced 

Railway House (the closed 

Moonwalkers Activity Centre) for 

about $1.4 million, which reduced the 

village’s annual payments from 

$138,789 to only $72,000 a year. 

That means the village won’t have to 

pay a $60,000 early lease buyout penalty 

fee to the lease holder of the 

building after council unanimously 

voted in favour of re-designating the 

remaining $56,000 in its lease agreement 

from capital to finance in its 2018 

budget. 

“Instead of using it as a capital portion 

it’s a payment of financing and 

pays down some of the debt,” Alix’s 

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) 

Michelle White told council during its 

regular meeting Feb. 21. “It’s just a 

wording choice that makes it an eligible 

expense.” 

Alix Coun. Vicki Soltermann asked 

if council was “ever going to see the 

actual figure,” how much they are 

giving to the lease holder of 

Moonwalkers. 

CAO White said staff submitted the 

paper work to Alberta Capital Finance 

on Feb. 14 - 15 and the $1.4 million refinancing 

request was a “guesstimate to 

ensure we have enough.” 

She added staff is still clarifying 

questions that Alberta Capital Finance 

has arising from the application. 

The borrowing bylaw was a result of 

an August 2017 Ministerial Order from 

Shaye Anderson, Minister of 

Municipal Affairs after completing an 

inspection of the village at the request 

of local residents who had submitted 

two petitions to the provincial 

government. 

The minister directed the village to 

have a qualified accounting firm complete 

a review of the Moonwalkers 

lease and recalculate the village’s 2016 

total debt and debt service under the 

province’s debt limit regulation. 

Chickens can now roost 

Alix residents, if approved, can have 

up to four urban chickens in their yard 

after Alix council gave its urban 

chicken bylaw third and final reading 

during council’s regular meeting Feb. 

2. 

The coops can’t be larger than 10 

metres squared in floor area and no 

higher than 2.4 metres. 

There will be an annual license fee 

and the license isn’t transferable from 

one person to another. A license, however, 

is transferable from one property 

to another if approved. 

Members of the 2018 Honors Performance line up for their performance, including Aiden Kobi, third from the right, front row. Rhonda 

Sylvester’s students Shailyn Anderson of Castor and Emma Werbowesky of Stettler performed in the Honors Women’s Choir. 

 


take my music 

right now. If the 

path ever became 

available, I would 

definitely hop on 

and be interested 

in it.” 

Management Act of Alberta. 

The survey will be sent out with tax 

notices which also aligns with 

Canada’s National Emergency 

Preparedness Week. 

“Our concerns are the protection of 

residents lives and property,” said 

Pawsey. 

This type of information could have 

been useful during the Oct. 2 snow 

especially regarding equipment and 

supply knowledge, he added. 

The form contains questions 

regarding contact and ownership of 

the land and farm and yard information 

such as livestock handling, 

dangerous goods and the available 

equipment. 

The questionnaire is voluntary but 

is highly encouraged by Emergency 

Management to be completed. Once a 

completed form is returned to the 

county office it will be scanned into 

the software system where it will be 

available for future use. 

“We hope to never have to use this 

information,” said Pawsey “but it is 

good to have on hand” 

“ I think this is a good idea,” said 

Coun. Doreen Blumhagen, “I can see 

being Oct. 2 was the perfect example of 

how we never expected it, but it would 

have been pretty handy to know.” 

New pickup purchase 

Coun. Morris Wiart moved the purchase 

of a new 2018 2500 Ram 4x4 

pickup truck for the Agriculture 

Services Board. The new vehicle will 

be replacing a 2008 Dodge 2500 and 

will be going to the mower fleet of 

vehicles. 

The cost of the new pickup truck 

$33,780.25 plus tax, just slightly over 

the budget of $33,000. The purchase is 

to be funded by restricted surplus. 

Stop sign removal 

Coun. Tyrrill Hewitt moved to 

remove the lone stop sign along 

Township Road 370 stopping west 

bound traffic on Range Road 133. 

This will create an uncontrolled 

intersection. 

The stop sign was originally put in 

place, approximately five years ago, as 

there were poor sight lines due to the 

dense brush. 

This past fall county workers 

cleared the brush and back-sloped the 

trees near the intersection, by doing 

this the sight lines are now adequate.

Morrin council 

FOIP request generates animated discussion 

Linda Stillinger 

ECA Review 

A recent FOIP request generated 

animated discussion at the 

Village of Morrin’s regular 

council meeting on Feb. 21. 

According to information provided 

to council by Morrin 

Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Annette Plachner, 

someone from the village has 

made a FOIP request to 

Municipal Affairs concerning 

past village grant information. 

CAO Plachner appeared 

clearly upset that someone had 

chosen to take this route to 

obtain the information 

declaring, “If people want to 

know something, come ask me.” 

Mayor Howard Helton 

acknowledged the process, as 

something people are entitled 

to. 

“Fine and dandy, come here 

and ask me. I’m not hiding it. I 

don’t have anything to hide,” 

Plachner asserted. 

Contending that it is unnecessary 

for people to use this 

process to obtain information, 

Plachner stated, “It’s a little bit 

childish, I think.” 

“It’s an avenue that people 

think they have to take. They 

obviously feel that they have to, 

so I guess it’s trying to cultivate 

an atmosphere where people 

don’t feel they have to do that. 

“That’s something that 

maybe has to be dealt with,” 

stated Mayor Helton “but you 

can’t put a sign out saying no 

FOIP.” 

Land Use Bylaw 

Changes in the Municipal 

Government Act (MGA) have 

prompted an amendment of 

Morrin’s land use bylaw. 

Council took the first step 

toward change by giving unanimous 

first reading to Bylaw 358, 

an amendment to Landuse 

Bylaw 345. 

Land use bylaw amendments 

require three readings by 

council and a public hearing. 

CAO Plachner advised 

council of the requirement to 

advertise the proposed bylaw 

amendment and public hearing 

for two consecutive weeks, 

asking for a motion to hold the 

public hearing. 

The public hearing will be 

held in April. 

The hearing will provide the 

public with an opportunity to 

speak for or against the 

amendment. 

Fire Department 

Morrin Fire Chief Darcy 

Davidson came before council 

to address the needs of the village 

fire department. 

Seeking to fulfil mandated 

requirements, Chief 

Davidson put together a list 

of the materials needed, 

presenting council with 

rough quotes from 

suppliers. 

During his presentation, 

Davidson stated, “My 

largest concern right now is 

I’d like to replace some 

existing fire hose and add a 

little bit to our complement 

as well.” 

Mayor Helton advised the 

fire chief to come back with 

firmer quotes after consultation 

with the county. 

“Obviously council needs 

to see some firm figures,” 

he noted. 

Morrin and Starland 

County hold a 70/30 cost 

sharing agreement for fire 

services. 

Morrin’s 30 per cent share 

of the requested supplies is 

estimated at $7000. 

Council approved the 

expenditures in theory, 

subject to firm price quotes 

and county acceptance. 

At the conclusion of his 

report, Chief Davidson 

informed council that volunteers 

logged 892 man 

hours in 2017, involving firefighting, 

vehicle accidents 

and training. 

The Morrin Fire 

Department has 16 volunteer 

members, nine who are 

very active. 

Other business 

A motion to approve a 

funding request from the 

Morrin Municipal Library 

Board was given unanimous 

approval. 

The library will receive a 

$500 operating grant from 

the village. 

Following an in-camera, a 

motion was passed to initiate 

an annual perforance 

review for the Chief 

Administrative Officer. 

The review will take place 

May 17.

Neat and tidy farmstead was a must 

Gordon Saunders was born in 

Castor, Ab. Nov. 20, 1921. He grew up 

on the farm and after completing 

normal school training in Calgary, he 

taught in one room schools for four 

years before returning to the farm in 

1945. 

Gordon and Connie were married 

June 16, 1974. They both enjoyed life 

on the farm, riding horses, feeding 

cattle and operating the farm 

equipment. 

Keeping the farmstead and garden 

travelled from Tuktoyaktuk to 

Galveston and from Tofino to Cape 

Breton, no year was really complete 

without a trip to the mountains in the 

summer camping or in the winter 

skiing or perhaps both. 

Gordon and Connie moved into 

Paintearth Lodge in November of 2017 

and then Gordon moved to Castor 

Extended Care in December before 

moving to Coronation on Jan. 10, 2018 

until his passing on Feb. 15, 2018. 

Gordon was predeceased by his 

1935, brother Howard Saunders in May 

1945, step brother Arnold Houseman,

Orale Kewley Peterson 

Sept. 7, 1927 – Feb. 22, 2018 

Orale Kewley Peterson was born 

Sept. 7, 1927 in Carruthers, Sk. to 

Fredrik Peterson and Francis Mary 

Kewley. He passed away 

peacefully in the Stettler 

Hospital with family at his 

side. 

Orale was the fourth of 

five children that grew up 

on the Carruthers family 

farm. As a young man 

Orale worked on the family 

farm and helped carve a 

living out of the prairie sod. 

Eventually he took over the Peterson 

farm and the passion for 

farming never left his blood. 

In 1966 Orale moved to the Bulwark 

area where he set down deep roots and 

engaged in mixed farming as he 

worked to raise 11 children. 

Orale is survived by his children, 

Daryl (Brenda), Wynne, Connie, Ricky, 

Friela (Kevin), Rodney (Peggy), 

Dwayne, Shiena, Todd; daughter-inlaw 

Carol; step children Wayne 

(Jolene), Cathy; sister Ruth; sisters-inlaw 

Rita and Lil. 

He leaves a legacy of 19 grandchildren; 

three step grandchildren; 32 

great grandchildren and one great 

great grandchild. They all have a very 

special place in his heart. He especially 

loved cuddling babies and over 

the years he has had many to hold and 

spoil. 

Orale was predeceased by his wife 

Bev, sons Lloyd and Lyle, granddaughter 

Rhondi, brothers Carl and 

Lorne, sister Pearl, brothers -in-law 

Stuart and Alex. 

Orale never let the grass grow under 

his feet and for most of his life he was 

hard to keep up with. 

He was always up for an adventure: 

fishing, bike riding, curling, skating, 

watching hockey and wood working, 

or anything that included risk! 

He loved to camp, fish and the 

“Narrows” was his favourite hangout 

spot. 

If there was ever downtime, he 

would be challenging someone near to 

a game of crib or pool and if no one 

took him up on the challenge, he 

would be playing solitaire. A man in 

constant motion! 

In 1988 Orale married Bev 

Thacker and relocated to Red 

Deer, starting their retirement 

which allowed them to travel, 

camp and follow the Scotties 

and Brier curling championships 

for many years. He 

remained an avid curler well 

into his 80’s! 

Orale was known to rarely 

travel directly from point A to 

point B, but rather to drive 

every back road checking out 

the crops as he went. If there 

was a Tim Horton’s or an Auction 

Mart along the way, it was an automatic 

STOP! 

Orale loved to visit with those he 

knew and those he didn’t. No one was 

a stranger to him.

of numerous famous orchestras, on 

world stages and have won several 

international music competitions. 

Nikki Chooi, winner of the 2013 

Michael Hill International Violin 

Competition, held the world’s most 

prestigious violin post as 

Concertmaster of the Metropolitan

Securing Alberta’s future through energy diversification 

Ab. Gov’t Press release 

Alberta will build on its strengths 

by leveraging billions of dollars in new 

private-sector investment to create 

thousands of jobs in a diversified 

energy industry. 

Premier Rachel Notley announced 

that support for full-scale commercialization 

of partial-upgrading 

technologies will be among the government’s 

next steps toward energy 

diversification, taking action on recommendations 

from the Energy 

Diversification Advisory Committee 

(EDAC). 

In addition to support for the commercialization 

of partial upgrading, 

work is underway to ensure companies 

have access to the natural gas 

liquids they need to grow private 

investment in Alberta-based natural 

gas processing and to build on the 

early success of Alberta’s 

Petrochemicals Diversification 

Program. 

Details will be announced in the 

coming weeks. 

“The deep history of NOVA 

Chemicals stands as a success story 

for diversification in this province. We 

have seen the positive impact of 

employing Alberta’s considerable 

resources, innovative technology and 

talented people to encourage billions 

in new investment, ensure highpaying 

jobs for Albertans and create 

lasting growth in our communities. 

The government will implement the 

EDAC report will build upon Peter 

Lougheed’s legacy, creating the next 

generation of value-added opportunities 

and allow companies like ours to 

continue to grow here in Alberta. 

A study by the University of Calgary 

estimated the impact of partial 

upgrading could be worth up to $22 

billion in GDP growth for Alberta over 

20 years. 

Partial upgrading 

Partial upgrading reduces the thickness 

of oil sands bitumen so it can flow 

through pipelines more easily, without 

having to be blended with diluent. 

This increases the volume of 

bitumen product that can be 

shipped through pipelines. 

Partial upgrading would 

enhance oil sands industry 

competitiveness by reducing 

industry costs, increasing 

pipeline capacity and 

enabling more refineries to 

process Alberta bitumen 

product. 

It would not limit future 

opportunities for full 

refining within Alberta. 

Energy Diversification 

Advisory Committee 

EDAC was appointed by 

government in October 2016 

with a mandate to engage 

Albertans and explore 

opportunities to increase 

the value of our energy 

resources, create jobs and 

attract new investment. 

The committee has submitted 

its final report, 

including 36 

recommendations. 

The government has 

accepted the committee’s 

advice and is moving forward 

immediately on a 

number of fronts. 

Membership on the committee 

included Jeanette

Guest editorial 

Canada is facing 

a crisis of quality 

journalism 

V I E W P O I N T S 

The opinions expressed are not necessarily 

the opinions of this newspaper. 

by John Honderich 

“We should all be very concerned by 

the crisis facing quality journalism.” 

The Trudeau government has either 

ignored or rejected virtually all the 

recommendations proposed to help 

support newspapers. What particularly 

stings is that the vast majority 

would not cost taxpayers anything. 

Reporters are being laid off in 

droves, many smaller communities 

are now “news deserts” with no local 

newspaper, and the amount of serious 

investigative journalism is declining 

sharply. 

And if you believe, as I do, that a vigorous, 

investigative press is essential 

for a strong democracy, we should all 

be very concerned. 

“ 

Ottawa’s advertising 

strategy had resulted in a 

“misalignment” of the 

reality that many 

Canadians still rely on 

traditional media. 

At the beginning of its mandate, the 

Trudeau government seemed to share 

that concern. It commissioned the 

Public Policy Forum, under the direction 

of veteran editor and journalist Ed 

Greenspon, to study the issue. 

The final report, entitled “The 

Shattered Mirror,” was released a year 

ago. It outlined in vivid detail the crisis 

and put forward 12 core 


The government also commissioned 

the Commons committee on Canadian 

Heritage, under Vancouver MP and 

former journalist Hedy Fry, to conduct 

a parallel investigation. After months 

of hearings and dozens of witnesses, it 

came up with 20 practical 


Now that the Trudeau government is 

more than halfway through its mandate, 

what has been its response? 

My view? Studied indifference. 

Across the board, the Trudeau government 

has either ignored or rejected 

virtually all the recommendations. 

What particularly stings is that the 

vast majority would not cost taxpayers 

anything. 

To make matters worse, in 

announcing her government’s decisions, 

Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly 

emphasized her government wasn’t

Review 

Limited 

interested in bailing out “industry 

models that are no longer viable.” 

Left starkly unclear was where 

quality journalism would then originate. 

And newspaper executives, 

myself included, were left asking: if 

this is what the Trudeau government 

really thinks, then why did we go 

through this lengthy process? 

To illustrate the point, let me chronicle 

the fate of 10 recommendations: 

1. Copyright protection for newspapers: 

Under Canadian copyright law, 

original content from Canadian newspapers 

can be easily duplicated and 

distributed on the internet for free. 

This has become a real annoyance, 

particularly when aggregators, bloggers 

or others use original material 

without permission or fee. 

The Public Policy Forum recommended 

Ottawa amend the law to help 

newspapers protect their content “for a 

reasonable time.” Newspapers, understandably, 

have also argued they 

should be paid for their content. 

The result? Nothing to date. 

2. Facebook and Google: These two 

multinational giants now control more 

than 70 per cent of all digital advertising 

in Canada. Yet the playing field 

is patently unfair for Canadian media. 

Under Canadian tax law, companies 

can deduct the cost of advertising only 

if ads are placed in Canadian publications. 

Yet this law does not apply to the 

internet. 

So not only do Facebook and Google 

not pay corporate tax or GST/HST, 

because they are headquartered outside 

Canada, but they accept ads on the 

same basis as Canadian media. 

The list of countries that have 

sought to address similar concerns is 

impressive: New Zealand, Norway, 

South Korea, Japan, Switzerland, 

South Africa and Israel, as well as the 

European Union. Last month 

Australia launched its own 

investigation. 

Both the Public Policy Forum and 

many media groups have asked 

Ottawa to do the same. 


3. Federal government advertising: 

For the past several years, Ottawa has 

followed a “digital-first” strategy in 

placement of federal ads. 

That, in turn, has led to a reduction 

in the proportion of federal spending 

for daily newspaper ads by 96 per cent 

and for community newspaper ads by 

21 per cent. These figures, importantly, 

come directly from the Department of 

Canadian Heritage.

Disaster zone in 

short order 

by Herman Schwenk 

In the mid sixties when John 

Diefenbaker was the Prime Minister of 

Canada, a book was written about him. 

This book, “ A Renegade in Power” 

was very critical of Diefenbaker. 

He was a very domineering and 

forceful leader. He was a person who 

could not be intimidated. If he decided 

on a course of action that was what 

was done even if it was a wrong 

decision. 

During his reign as leader of the 

conservative party there was considerable 

conflict. The cancelation of the 

Avro Arrow was a high profile 

example of conflict in the party. 

I got thinking about that book this 

past week when I was reading about 

our current Prime Ministers latest 

shenanigans. 

Most of the mainstream media still 

seem to regard Justin Trudeau as 

their poster boy. He has such a nice 

gregarious personality. What is there 

to not like about him? 

They seem not to take notice of the 

non-sensical stuff that comes out of his 

mouth both now and before he became 

the Prime Minister. 

His unrealistic political correctness 

really came to the forefront a couple 

weeks ago when he attempted to correct 

a woman at a town hall who used 

the term mankind when asking him a 

question. 

He said that she should have said 

“peoplekind, because it is more inclusive 

than mankind.” 

That exchange went viral all over 

the world, and the responses have not

been kind to Trudeau. He is basically a 

laughing stock the world over, as he 

should be. 

Can you imagine the response of the 

media if Andrew Scheer were to utter 

something that stupid? 

The above example is only one of the 

many gaffes recently committed by 

Trudeau. 

“ 

You may recall a couple of his other 

gaffs from before he became Prime 

Minister, his statement that the budget 

would balance itself and his comment 

about how he liked China’s basic dictatorship 

because they could make 

decisions much faster than we could. 

A recent gaffe had to do with the 

returning ISIS fighters. He compared 

them to Italian families settling in 

Montreal after the Second World War 

and how they were discriminated 

against due to their dress and religion.

Trudeau’s third gaffe was a real doosey 


This is a comparison that is really 

offensive to immigrants and refugees 

who came to Canada for opportunity 

and to escape violence. 

The ISIS fighters were fighting 

against Canadian troops and they all 

should have been charged with treason 

as soon as they set foot in Canada. 

His third gaffe was a real doosey, 

when asked about the government’s 

troubled relationship with Canada’s 

many veterans: “Why are we still 

fighting against certain veterans 

groups in court? His reply, “because 

they’re asking for more than we’re able 

to give right now.” 

But they were able to give Omar 


The issue was fully studied last year 

by the Commons standing committee 

on government operations and 

estimates. 

In its final report, it concluded 

Ottawa’s advertising strategy had 

resulted in a “misalignment” of the 

reality that many Canadians still rely 

on traditional media. It urged more 

spending be directed to traditional 

media “including TV, radio and print 

media.” 


4. Digital tax credits: The heritage 

committee recommended that newspapers 

be given a temporary five-year 

tax credit for a portion of the labour 

and capital they spend on digital innovation. 

In fact, Ontario also had a 

digital media tax credit but it has been 

discontinued. 


5. Canada Periodical Fund: Since 

before Confederation, this fund and its 

precursors have provided financial 

support to Canadian magazines and 

weeklies. 

Maclean’s magazine, for example, 

receives $2 million annually from this 

fund, allowing it to continue in 

operation. 


the heritage committee recommended 

that free distribution community 

newspapers and daily newspapers be 

included in this fund. *The ECA 

Review does not receive this funding 

because free distribution community 

newspapers do not qualify. 

The result? Idea rejected. 

6. The Canadian Press: Canada’s 

national wire service, which celebrated 

its 100th anniversary last year, 

has had a pension problem for several 

decades. 

Eight years ago, the three owners of 

CP (one being Torstar) went to Ottawa 

to see if CP could get an extended 

period to meet its obligations. The proposal, 

fully supported by CP’s staff, 

was enthusiastically endorsed by then 

finance minister Jim Flaherty. And it 

cost Ottawa nothing. 

“CP is too important to this 

country,” he told us. 

Eight years later, interest rates being 

even lower, the three owners returned 

to Ottawa to see if this relief could be 

extended. In countries such as France, 

for example, the French equivalent of 

CP is seen as so important to French 

democracy that the government 

directly subsidizes it. 

And what did current Finance 

Minister Bill Morneau tell us? “Why 

should I do anything special for CP?” 

The result? CP’s request was denied. 

One year later, CP is entering a different 

federal relief program. But it has 

been a slog. 

7. CP and local journalism: To help 

provide news coverage in smaller communities, 

the Public Policy Forum 

suggested The Canadian Press be 

Khadr, a terrorist, $10.5 million and 

they were able to spend millions and 

billions around the world on climate 

change and other feel good green 

projects. 

The way he rationalizes issues 

makes absolutely no common sense. 

Can you imagine what Canada 

would look like if he actually had dictatorial 

power? 

There are many countries in the 

world today with dictators who are just 

as clueless as he is. Each one of those 

countries is a disaster zone. 

A good example is Zimbabwe that 

had Robert Mugabe as a dictator for 

over 30 years. He totally destroyed a 

rich nation that was self-sufficient. 

Democracy deserves better 

given the mandate and resources to fill 

the gaps. 

The idea is for CP to hire 60 to 80 

reporters across the country to do the 

bread-and-butter coverage of city halls, 

courts and legislatures. The estimated 

cost is $8 million to $10 million a year. 

A similar concept has been rolled out 

in Great Britain by the BBC. 


8. CBC and cbc.ca: The huge exception, 

of course, to Ottawa’s studied 

indifference is our national broadcaster. 

The Trudeau government has 

pledged an additional $675 million over 

five years to the CBC. 

Parenthetically, just one per cent of 

Ottawa’s total funding to the CBC 

would pay for more than half the 

Toronto Star’s newsroom. 

In today’s digital world, the greatest 

competitor to Canadian newspaper 

websites is cbc.ca. It is an excellent 

website, flush with resources and 

funded, of course, by the public. Not 

only that; it is free. Furthermore, it is 

out in the market competing for digital 

advertising. 

The heritage committee, in its 

report, proposed that Canada adopt the 

British model where the BBC does not 

compete for ads. The rationale is that 

the public broadcaster has an obvious 

advantage with its guaranteed public 

funding. 


9. Non-profit journalism and philanthropy: 

In the U.S., Germany and other 

countries, non-profitable journalism 

ventures are funded by grants from 

foundations. 

Under their laws, such grants are 

considered charitable donations. This 

is how such renowned American 

investigative websites as ProPublica 

survive. In Britain, the Guardian is 

owned by a trust and supported partly 

by grants and reader contributions. 


the federal task force on charities 

urged the passage of similar legislation 

in Canada. 


10. Investigative journalism support: 

To help promote investigative and civic 

journalism, the Public Policy Forum 

recommended the creation of a legal 

advisory service. 

Large newspapers, such as the Star, 

have in-house counsel who provide 

essential legal advice on difficult 

investigations or articles. For smaller 

publications, these costs can be 

prohibitive. 


In summary, this list speaks for 

itself. In fact, there are other more 

expensive proposals that are deliberately 

not included. Again, most of the 

10 above cost nothing, but rather 

involved changing the law or practice. 

Studied indifference. 

I believe this country and its journalism 

and democracy deserve better. 

If Trudeau were allowed to have free The people of this country need to 

reign, this country would also be a wake up and realize that an idiot in 

disaster zone in short order. In my power is far more dangerous than a 

opinion we are well on our way renegade in power. At least a renegade 

already.

Feb. 25 in Stettler. 

ECA Review/L.Joy 

Stettler hosts a successful 

provincial curling championship 

Lisa Joy 

ECA Review 

Stettler was showcased while 

hosting the 2018 Provincial Masters 

Curling Championships Feb. 20-25. 

Eight men’s teams and seven women’s 

teams from across Alberta 

converged on Stettler for the week-long 

provincials with up to 200 people per 

day participating. 

“Everyone left with a sweet taste of 

Stettler in their mouth,” said Town of 

Stettler Councillor Malcom Fischer 

who was the ceremonies chairman and 

MC of the event. 

“I know there were people here that 

never visited Stettler before and they 

intend to come back. It gets the town’s 

name out.” 

Fischer said he talked to all of the 

curlers and everyone had positive comments 

about everything from the town 

and stores to the accommodation. 

“I have never run into so many 

kudos. The rink looked good. The hall 

looked good and the ceremony went 

well. It was a great public relations 

exercise.” 

When Team Armstrong (Red Deer) 

competed, with skip Fred Armstrong, 

there were more local residents 

watching the games, said Fischer. 

Armstrong is from Erskine. 

Successfully pulling off the event 

quiets any naysayers. 

“Despite the fact that some people 

think Stettler is too small, once again 

the people of Stettler showed we can do 

almost anything.” 

Pulling off the Provincial Masters 

took 65 volunteers and months of 

planning. 

“When you do it well then it looks 

like it took no effort at all,” said 

Fischer. “It went really smooth. 

Everybody did a good job. There were 

a lot of people working hard to make 

everything work well.” 

Fischer praised the work of Stettler 

Curling Club President Steve Gerlitz 

calling him the head driver for 

bringing the provincial championship 

to Stettler and the Scotties in 2019. 

During the opening ceremonies 

Gerlitz was presented with a plague 

from the Alberta Curling Federation. 

“He ran everything smoothly. His 

leadership was instrumental.” 

For the women’s division, Team 

Foster (Inglewood) defeated Team 

Aslyn 8 - 0 to take gold. 

In the men’s, Team Pendergast (Red 

Deer) defeated Team Greening 5 - 2. 

The winners will represent Alberta in 

the Nationals in Surrey and White 

Rock, B.C. from April 1 - 8. 

Stettler will also host the Alberta 

Scottie’s Tournament of Hearts from 

Jan. 23 to Jan. 27, 2019.

A G r i c u L t u r e 

Red Deer doctors form new society to advocate 

for fair healthcare funding for Central Albertans 

A group of Red Deer physicians have 

formed the non-profit Society for Fair 

and Transparent Health Funding to 

Central Alberta (the Society). 

A year in the making, the Society 

was created after a major expansion of 

the Red Deer Regional Hospital was 

dropped from the provincial priority 

list in late 2016 with little explanation 

from either Alberta Health Services or 

the Government of Alberta. 

The Society was created as a result 

of public groundswell over close to two 

decades of lagging infrastructure 

investment in Central Alberta, 

according to physicians. 

The Society is non-partisan and 

does not ascribe to any particular ideology 

other than fair and transparent 

allocation of tax dollars for health 

care. 

Local physicians believe this nonprofit 

Society is the first of its kind in 

Canada, but given the need for infrastructure 

in various locations across 

the country and often obscure drivers 

of development, it may not be the last. 

Although physicians have led the 

creation of the Society, it will be welcoming 

members from the community 

to participate on the board and 

thereby create a sustainable force. 

“Citizens should not have to travel 

for medical care when it can be safely 

and reasonably delivered close to 

home. We want decision-makers to be 

fully aware that they are being 

watched and that Central Albertans 

deserve their tax dollars to be invested 

locally based on fair and transparent 

processes,” says Dr. Kym Jim, one of 

the Society’s founders. 

Quote from Dr. Kym Jim: 

“Due to a lack of health infrastructure 

investment in our region dating 

back many years,” said Dr. Kym Jim. 

“Red Deer is in dire need of capital 

spending to expand the Red Deer 

Regional Hospital in order to provide 

care to the over 400,000 

people who live in Central 

Alberta. 

“ We don’t blame current 

government or Alberta 

Health Services leaders for 

our current predicament, 

but they do have the urgent 

obligation to fix it. 

“Given the fact that major 

hospital development can 

often take a decade from 

decision to implementation, 

we are anxious to hear good 

news soon, as we continue to 

work with Alberta Health 

Services on updating our 

most recent expansion plan 

created in 2014.” 

Objectives of the Society 

for Fair and Transparent 

Health Funding 

• To advocate for fair and 

transparent health funding 

to Central Alberta 

• To educate Central 

Albertans, the medical

RCMP Investigating a 

semi-truck roll-over 

Oyen RCMP responded to a single 

vehicle rollover on highway 9 near 

Range Road 43 on Feb. 25 at approximatey 

4 p.m. 

The semi-truck was travelling west 

bound on Highway 9 when it rolled. 

The truck was carrying liquid hydrocarbon 

tanks when it rolled. 

The tanks, some empty and some 

full, scattered across highway 9. The 

truck itself was leaking diesel fuel. 

The cause of the roll-over is 

unknown at this time and is still 

under investigation. 

Found property 

On Feb. 21 the Hanna RCMP recovered 

two stolen vehicles. 

One of the vehicles had property in 

the cargo area that didn’t belong to the 

owner. It is believed these are stolen 

items. 

The RCMP is looking for the owners 

of the following property: a red 

Eskimo brand gas 

powered ice 

auger; a Xenarc 

video display that 

is believed to be 

part of a Boviscan 

veterinary ultra 

sound. 

If anyone 

believes they are 

the owners of this 

property please 

contact the Hanna 

RCMP 

Detachment at 

(403)854-3393. 

Hit and run 

with pedestrian 

Coronation 

RCMP received a 

complaint of a hit 

and run that 

occurred on Wed. 

Feb. 14 at approximately 

4:30 p.m. 

The involved 

motorist was 

stunting with their vehicle at the time 

of the incident. 

The vehicle was travelling east on 52 

Avenue in the town of Castor, Ab. 

when it dangerously proceeded 

through the intersection of 51 Street. 

The vehicle sped away from the 

intersection, lost control and struck a 

pedestrian and his snow blower. The 

driver did not stop and proceeded eastbound 

towards Gus Wetter School. 

Fortunately, the pedestrian did not 

sustain serious injuries. 

The suspect vehicle was a newer 

model, blue, four-door pickup truck. 

The driver is believed to be between 

the ages of 25 and 35 years old with 

dark hair and a moustache. 

Investigators are asking anyone 

who may have information regarding 

this occurrence to contact Coronation 

RCMP at 403-578-3666 or Crime
