Police still in dark as marijuana legalization approaches 

Lisa Joy 

ECA Review 

Intended for the week of March 22 

Recreational marijuana legalization 

across Canada rolls out July 2018 but 

RCMP still grapple with how to deal 

with the drivers impaired by drugs. 

Stettler RCMP Sgt. Phil Penny told 

Stettler town council, during its regular 

meeting March 20, there are still 

unknowns surrounding how officers 

will deal with drivers impaired by 

marijuana. 

“We’re trying to be as prepared as 

we can to deal with the potential.”

ECA Review 

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) 

Sandi Jackson submitted her notice of 

retirement to the Town of Castor 

council during a regular meeting on 

Mar 26. CAO Jackson’s retirement will 

be in effect starting April 1, 2019, 

giving just over a year notice to ease 

the transition. 

“I’ve been part of tremendous 

changes and worked with many wonderful 

staff and councillors” read the 

submitted notice, “ I believe the time is 

right to look towards retirement.” 

CAO Jackson has been a Town of 

Castor employee for 38 years. 

“Good for you Sandi,” expressed 

Mayor Richard Elhard, “Its been good 

to have you hear all these years.” 

“It is well deserved,” said Coun. 

Lonny Nelner “You have worked 

hard.” 

No decision was made regarding a 

replacement.

2018/19 Stettler RCMP priorities 

Cont’d from Pg 1 

The federal government 

will bring in a roadside 

saliva test to check for drug 

impairment and, over the 

next five years, will provide 

$81 million in funding to the 

provinces and territories to 

assist police with checking 

and testing for drivers 

impaired by drugs. 

Sgt. Penny said it’s uncertain 

if police will have to 

purchase the devices. “I’m 

playing the waiting game.” 

The New Criminal Code 

rules will require drivers to 

have less than five 

nanograms of THC in their 

bloodstream. THC is the 

cannabis compound that 

gives the user a high. 

Provinces are in charge of 

overseeing the sale and distribution 

of recreational 

marijuana. 

In Alberta you will have 

to be 18 or older to buy or 

use cannabis. There’s no 

limit on how much you can 

possess in your home but 

public possession has a limit 

of 30 grams. 

Sales will be in specialty 

stores and separate from 

alcohol, tobacco and 

pharamceuticals. Smoking 

and vaping in public fall 

under the existing tobacco 

laws. 

You can grow a maximum 

of four plants in your home 

but can’t grow any outdoors. 

Locations where you can 

smoke or vape will fall 

under existing municipal 

smoking laws.

$35,425.70 raised for cancer research 

Twelve schools from Clearview took 

part in the 2017 Terry Fox Runs and 

raised $35,425.70 to benefit cancer 

research. 

Wendy Kennelly, Provincial 

Director for the Terry Fox Foundation, 

stated in a letter to Clearview, “We are 

proud to work with you to foster volunteerism, 

compassion and leadership of 

Clearview Public Schools students.” 

Clearview Public Schools is proud of 

the staff and students as they work 

hard each year to organize and participate 

in the Terry Fox Runs to support 

this worthy cause. 

Terry Fox’s story is a defining piece 

of Canadian history and has become 

an integral part of the Alberta 

curriculum. 

Last year raised close to $30 million. 

This year the Terry Fox Foundation 

is stepping up their efforts to support 

student growth during the Terry Fox 

events. 

Initiatives such as the ‘Be Like 

Terry’ program are giving students 

the opportunity to develop leadership, 

philanthropy and service skills. 

The Terry Fox Run is an annual 

non-competitive charity event held in 

numerous regions around the world in 

commemoration 

of Canadian 

cancer activist 

Terry Fox, and 

his Marathon of 

Hope, and to raise 

money for cancer 

research. 

The event was 

founded in 1981 

by Isadore Sharp, 

who contacted 

Terry in hospital 

by telegram and 

expressed his 

wishes to hold an 

annual run in 

Terry’s name to 

raise funds for 

cancer research.

Castor Minor Sports Council requests additional arena funding 

Emily Wheller 

ECA Review 

Paintearth County council was 

joined by Castor Minor Sports council 

representatives, Natasha Bozek, Stacey 

Renschler and Town of Castor Mayor, 

Richard Elhard, during a Mar. 27 regular 

meeting. 

The representatives requested that 

council consider the Castor Minor 

Sports council and the arena renovation 

project when discussing the 

budget during upcoming meetings. 

Initially the estimated project budget 

was between $350,000 and $400,000, 

Paintearth council 

after further information and 

investigation. 

The budget has increased to $750,000 

- $900,000. 

“I think this project shows commitment 

from Castor to the 3C’s, ” shared 

Mayor Elhard, “shows commitment to 

Coronation and Consort that we are 

being proactive and trying to support 

all communities” 

The representatives asked that the 

council think of it as a long-term 

investment rather than operational 

funding. 

The County has already funded 

$100,000 towards the project. 

The presentation was accepted as 

information. 

Future gravel 

Director of Public Works, Bryce 

Cooke, presented council with a 

detailed overview of the county’s current 

gravel situation and future 

planning options. 

“Gravel is not an easy thing,” said 

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), 

Tarolyn Aaserud “It’s wear and tear 

on roads. It’s an estimation. It is something 

that is essential and vital for our 

travelling public and for our community 

to have good gravel roads. 

This is the final year of the current 

supply and deliver contract of 25,000 

tonne to Bulwark and Paintearth 

School sites. 2018 is the first year of a 

three-year supply contract for the purchase 

of 30,000 tonne per year, 

delivered by county trucks to the 

Bulwark and Smith sites. 

At the end of 2018, there will be a 

seven and a half year supply of ¾ inch 

gravel. 

West county sites have 104,656 tonne 

and will continue to need 25,000 to 

30,000 tonne delivered to each site on 

two to three year intervals. 

While the 347,107 tonne in the east 

will be able to sustain needs, along 

with the three year supply contract, 

for eight to 10 years. 

Cooke presented four options, along 

with estimated costs, regarding future 

gravel needs. Options include: a one 

year supply and deliver contract extension 

of 30,000 tonne, $1,370,500; 

entering in to a new three year supply 

and deliver contact with a start date of 

2022, $4,385,000; developing a new pit 

south of Coronation in 2020 and complete 

crushing in 2024, $3,089,000; and 

purchase land with gravel; $1,515,852. 

“This is not a right now thing,” 

stated CAO Aaserud,” This is something 

that, about within the next year, 

there has to be a plan in place.” 

“I do commend past council and 

Bryce. You guys have stayed ahead of 

this curve” Reeve Stan Schulmeister 

stated regarding the gravel reserves. 

BREOC update 

The Battle River Economic 

Opportunities Committee (BREOC) 

has received $1,750,000 from the 

Community Coal Transition Fund 

(CCTF). This funding will be spent 

towards building community capacity. 

Urban Systems will be the consultants 

on the CCTF project and are to 

develop a critical path to move forward. 

The next meeting will held at 

the end of April, where the start-up 

plan will be reviewed. 

Dramatist Jenny Wright was part of a seven-person team that highlighted Three Hills’ annual community Good Friday service last week. 

More than 900 people filled the Three Hills School gymnasium. Conducted by the town’s ten-member ministerial, the service featured 

congregational singing, a message, and a collection for a clean-water project in Africa that raised more than $3,400.

Alix Wagon Wheel Museum busy year 

Submitted 

Alix Wagon Wheel Museum opens 

for the season in May and “closes” 

around the end of August. 

After that, the museum is open for 

special events and by request. This 

report covers the 2017-18 fall and winter 

events during the time we have been 

“closed.” 

There have been several tours at the 

request of individuals. We continue to 

help people seeking information by 

internet, telephone or written contact. 

We order, collect, store and share 

tourist information from local venues 

and from Travel Alberta. In the winter, 

there is still tourist information available 

at the museum although summer 

is when we experience the majority of 

the demand for it. 

As well, the Museum Board undertook 

the lead for much of the work for 

development and installation of the 

Alix Avenue of Heroes project, begun 

by Charles Andrews of Friends of the 

Alix Public Library. 

They installed flags and signs, and 

developed and hosted the Honour 

Board for those who wished to donate 

to the project in memory or honour of 

family and friends. We opened the 

museum before and after the 

dedication of the project on the afternoon 

of Remembrance Day, Nov. 11. 

We hosted three ‘Coffee and 

Conversation’ events, hosted Jayden 

Stauffer for a presentation about his 

semester as an exchange student in 

Brazil; during the Christmas Market 

and Toy Run, the museum was open 

with a display of over 100 decorative 

Nutcrackers; and the elementary 

school classes at Alix MAC School visited 

this display. 

The subject of the March 15 ‘Coffee 

and Conversation’ was “music” where 

we featured a gramophone with “78” 

speed records, the pump organ, and 

Ralph Toepfer’s violin and other 

instruments brought by participants. 

There was free admission to all these 

events. 

During this time, there were 356 visitors 

according to our Visitor Sign-In 

book. We still have a function to come 

in April when “Live History” will 

present a historical drama event with 

two short plays at the museum and two 

drama workshops at the Alix MAC 

School. 

Alix Wagon Wheel Museum 

Association is very grateful for the support 

received from visitors, local 

businesses and for the continuing 

financial support from the Village of 

Alix, Lacombe County, Rahr Malting, 

Canada Summer Jobs, Young Canada 

Works and STEP. 

The support allows us to plan, both 

for events and visitors and for improvements 

to the building and exhibits. 

We also benefit from community 

partners such as Alix Recreation and 

Friends of the Alix Public Library in 

projects and events. 

Winter is the time when plans are 

made, work is done, and orders of supplies 

and equipment are begun. The 

reliable funding lets us make improvements, 

and also allows us to host 

events. 

Board Members, all of whom are volunteers, 

continue to attend meetings 

and educational events of Central 

Alberta Region Museums Network 

(CARMN) and the Alberta Museums 

Association (AMA) to develop our abilities 

and improve service. 

Board members have devoted many 

hours to maintenance and improvement 

of the building, which have made 

our exhibits better and easier to create 

as well as to reduce our environmental 

footprint. 

We are looking forward to our spring 

2018 opening.

Hardisty council 

School enrollment numbers a concern 

Lisa Bye 

ECA Review 

Although the Battle River 

School Division has assured the 

town of Hardisty that they have 

no intentions of closing their 

school both Councillors Penny 

Wurz and Connie Beringer 

expressed their concerns over 

enrollment numbers for next 

year after attending the recent 

Parent Advisory meeting. 

Beringer stated, “I think six 

grade nines will be leaving,” 

stated Beringer, “and if we get 

anymore kids that will be 

pulling out and moving to 

Sedgewick next year, our numbers 

are going to be under 60 

again.” 

In smaller schools the 

number of staff is understandably 

going to be lower than a 

larger school and this sometimes 

makes it difficult to plan 

as many field trips and engage 

in the same amount of extracurricular 

activities as schools 

with a much higher population 

base. 

Council brainstormed ways 

to get the community more 

involved with the school and 

pondered whether accessing 

some of their skills and talents 

would be beneficial for programs 

during and after school. 

This would provide more 

opportunities for the students. 

The Parent Advisory committee 

intends on inviting the 

Battle River School Division to 

one of their meetings and 

council will attend as well. 

They want to discuss how the 

provincial budget is making it 

hard for aides to be in the classroom 

and the plan to hire more 

teachers may not help a school 

with low enrollment as that is a 

key factor in how many 

teachers a school can employ. 

Hardisty School has some 

split grades and the committee 

feels that aides are a very necessary 

part of the student’s 

education process. 

Missoula Children’s Theatre 

There is something exciting 

planned for the students at the 

Hardisty School next October 1 

- 5. 

The Parent Advisory is 

hosting the Missoula Children’s 

production and the council has 

agreed to pay the $800 hall 

rental feel to assist in this experience 

for all the students. 

They will work hard all week 

learning lines, dances, 

designing sets, learning the 

value of team work to create a 

memorable performance for the 

whole community to enjoy. 

Rural Crime 

Rural crime continues to 

escalate, and the Flagstaff 

Rural Crime Watch Society is 

taking steps to educate both the 

rural and urban population by 

hosting a Crime Prevention 

Trade Show on Tues. April 17 at 

the Lougheed Field house. 

Hardisty council agreed to contribute 

$200 to this event. 

There will be guest speakers 

engaging in conversations 

about what you as a property 

owner can do, and what will 

result in charges to you as the 

victim as well as what you can 

do to prevent crime. 

Booths will be set up with 

security systems, surveillance 

cameras, GPS Tracking 

devices, locks and deadbolts 

and alarm systems. 

Infrastructure 

revenue charge 

Council discussed at length 

an infrastructure revenue 

charge to properties that are 

not hooked up to water and 

wastewater services but are 

serviced with municipal 

services. 

These would generally be 

vacant or undeveloped 

properties. 

Council agreed that this 

would not happen in the 2018 

year. 

Council is planning an open 

house in June hoping for feedback 

at that time. 

Beautification Committee 

Councillors Wurz and 

Beringer will call a meeting 

with the Beautification 

Committee to discuss plans for 

a new welcome sign, possible 

revamping of the town 

slogan, community projects 

and preparing the planters 

that will need to be ready for 

spring. 

Deputy Mayor Dean Lane 

expressed interest in 

attending as well and has 

some ideas on landscaping 

and planting more trees in 

the community.

Canadian oil finding its way to Asia without pipeline 

Lucia Kassai and Robert Tuttle, 

Bloomberg News www.bnn.ca 

Canadian oil producers found a way 

to access the growing Asian energy 

market without the controversial 

Trans Mountain pipeline. 

A cargo of heavy crude was sent to 

China after being railed to a terminal 

in Portland, Oregon, according to U.S. 

Census data and people with knowledge 

of the situation. 

The crude came from Alberta’s oil 

sands, the people said. 

The shipments happened as Kinder 

Morgan Inc. struggles to move forward 

with its Trans Mountain 

Pipeline expansion to the Vancouver 

area amid fierce opposition from 

British Columbia. 

The project, which would open up 

the Asian market to oil sands producers, 

was approved by the federal 

government in late 2016 but suffered a 

setback when the B.C. government 

proposed limiting any increase in 

shipments of diluted bitumen amid 

concerns about spills. 

Census data showed that the 

January export out of Portland to 

China totaled 243,879 barrels of foreign 

crude. 

The oil was listed as having an API 

of under 25, indicating it was heavy oil, 

like the type produced in the 

Canadian oil sands. 

Canadian oil producers are trying to 

diversify their customer base in hopes 

that having more buyers will improve 

the prices they receive for the crude. 

Nearly all the country’s oil exports 

go to the U.S. 

Heavy Canadian crude prices are 

trading near their biggest discount to 

West Texas Intermediate futures in 

almost four years as new oil

Coronation council 

Request for reconsideration 

of development permit 

Lisa Bye 

ECA Review 

Claude Cardinal 

attended the March 26 

council meeting to discuss 

with council the 

possibility of having 

them reverse their decision 

to deny his 

development application 

to move a 1996 manufactured 

home into 

Coronation. 

Cardinal had given 

council photographs of 

the home, so they could 

see the condition it was 

in, but he could not confirm 

or provide proof as 

to whether it was built in 

1996 or 1998 and the 

bylaw stipulates manufactured 

homes 

constructed more than 

20 years prior to the date 

of the development 

permit application shall 

not be permitted. 

Council advised him 

that if he could obtain 

some information or documents 

proving when 

the home was constructed 

then he could 

resubmit his application. 

“I don’t understand 

why you guys don’t want 

a decent trailer to be 

moved into the trailer 

court when you got so 

much stuff that is 25 

times worse than that, 

we need to make tax and 

not turn people away 

that are going to pay 

some taxes,” commented 

Cardinal. 

Mayor Mark Stannard 

replied, “We have made 

this bylaw because we 

have had issues in the 

past and we have to abide 

by the bylaw now.” 

Mayor Stannard continued 

explaining that 

previously they had no 

age requirements on 

manufactured homes 

being brought into town 

and it did not work out 

well, so the bylaw was 

amended to be more 

specific. 

Water Meter System 

Barring any unforeseen 

weather, the town is 

planning on installing 

their Bulk Water 

Metering System this 

spring. The hope is to 

complete it during spring 

“shutdown” in the oilfield 

to minimize any 

disruption to water 

haulers who rely on the 

towns bulk water 

service. 

Council budgeted 

$25,000 to do this in 2017 

and was not able to complete 

it due to time 

constraints. 

Council reports 

Coun. Brett Alderdice 

reported the Fire 

Department has a project 

to purchase new bunker 

gear, more radios, a portable 

water tank and a 

pressure washer. 

The estimated cost is 

around $60,000 and 

Coun. Alderdice has 

applied for a $25,000 

Farm Credit Canada 

(F.C.C.) grant to help 

offset the cost. 

Deputy Mayor Shelley 

Cook brought forth some 

tourism ideas she gathered 

from her recent 

Badlands Tourism conference 

in Medicine Hat. 

Although many of the 

ideas were centered 

around bigger communities, 

the suggestion of 

Bird Watching Tours 

was of interest for the 

rural areas. 

Bird Watching is getting 

to be a very popular 

past time during winter 

and summer months and 

if there are decent trails 

and willing guides then 

it could be a potential 

viable source of tourism 

for our area. 

Coun. Ron Checkel 

mentioned the 

Communities in Bloom 

Committee had been 

busy turning the Petunia 

Tree in to an Easter Egg 

tree in time for the 

Coronation Festival and 

the pots have been 

removed and delivered to 

Howe’s green house in 

preparation for the 

planting of the spring 

flowers. 

Alberta Emergency 

Alert notifications 

Currently radio, television 

and social media are 

some of the forms being 

used to alert the public of 

serious emergency 

events but effective April 

6,2018 the Alberta 

Emergency Alert 

Notification System 

(AEA) will also be 

sending out alerts to 

wireless devices such as 

smartphones, tablets and 

other electronic devices. 

AEA is a warning 

system that issues alerts 

for weather events, natural 

and man-made 

hazards, Amber Alerts 

(child abduction), other 

life-threatening 

emergencies or 

disasters and tells 

the public what 

actions they need 

to be taking to 

protect themselves 

and their 

families. 

The first 

planned national 

wireless alert test 

will be on Wed. 

May 9 at 1:55 p.m. 

Mountain 

Daylight Time 

(MDT-observing 

daylight-saving 

time in spring and 

summer). 

The website 

www.alertready.

of information. 

You will be able to 

find test schedules 

on alerts for all 

the provinces and 

territories and 

investigate any 

questions you 

may have on 

whether your 

wireless device is 

able to receive the 

alerts and if not,

Personnel handbook update 


Coun. Nelner motioned to approve

The wording change will give 

council the option whether to increase 

wages yearly based on cost of living, or 

not. 

A cost of living allowance was not 

given this year, even though the previous 

handbook stated the guaranteed 

increase. 

To comply with the previous version 

council voted to give the increase for

Trudeau’s values 

by Herman Schwenk 

Ever since Justin Trudeau was 

elected as leader of the Liberal Party 

he has talked about values. 

He made it clear from the start that 

anyone who was seeking a nomination 

to run for the Liberal party in an election 

had to agree that it was a woman’s 

right to choose, in other words his candidates 

could not be pro life. 

He is now trying to force all 

Canadians into agreeing with what he 

considers a fundamental value by 

using a government program as a 

lever. 

“ 

The government and 

their ministers have been 

disrespectful of taxpayers 

and their money right 

from day one. 

For years there has been a government 

grant available to assist students 

with summer employment. It was the 

Canada Summer Jobs program. 

This program was used by church 

groups, charities, municipalities, small 

business etc. that provided temporary 

summer employment for students to 

financially assist with tuition and 

other expenses for secondary 

education. 

Trudeau decided to put an additional 

“value” regulation in place this year to 

qualify for the grant. One of the regulations 

was in the application you had 

to attest to your support for abortion in 

order to qualify. 

Many of the organizations that have 

traditionally used this program to 

afford to hire these students refused to 

agree to this regulation as it was contrary 

to their basic believes. 

They are now trying to find other 

ways to finance summer student 

employment or have decided not to 

hire at all. 

Trudeau can talk all he wants about 

his values but it is obvious that he does 

not really value the sanctity of life. He 

seems to think that what he considers 

as a value is the only value that is 

relevant.

V I E W P O I N T S 

What many Canadians consider as a 

fundamental value seems to be inherently 

wrong in his opinion. What 

values did he think he was supporting 

when he was traipsing all over India in 

his costumes pretending to believe in 

their culture and religion? 

Somehow I don’t think the majority 

of those people would be in favour of 

his position on abortion. 

I may be wrong but I think he was 

married in the Catholic Church. That 

church and many other churches are 

pro-life and opposed to abortion. If he 

was married in the Church he was 

being a hypocrite because by marrying 

in the church he was agreeing to 

the Church’s values. 

Recently there was a town hall type 

meeting held by Amarjec Schi the 

Infrastructure Cabinet Minister who 

is the MP from Sherwood Park. 

A somewhat heated debate ensued 

over Trudeau’s value regulation to 

obtain a Canada Summer Jobs grant. 

Finally a frustrated Shoi declared 

that the people could not tell the government 

how to spend THEIR money! 

This is an example of the extreme 

arrogance that this government is 

demonstrating and they have been in 

power for less than three years. The 

government and their ministers have 

been disrespectful of taxpayers and 

their money right from day one. 

He promised a deficit of 10 billion 

dollars but bumped that up to three 

times that amount within months. He 

hands out millions and billions of dollars 

to countries all over the world for 

various causes every time he leaves 

Canada. 

With his dictatorial tendencies he 

seems to think he has a right to impose 

his values on all Canadians and 

increase our taxes to spend on programs 

that support his values. 

It seems to me that in Trudeau’s eyes 

the whole world is a stage. He was a 

drama teacher and every thing he does 

appears to be from a position of acting 

on the world stage. The India trip was 

a prim example. 

Every thing he does is an act to 

impress the audience. 

His values give him the appearance 

of being a shallow individual, opposite 

of being a statesman. 

In fact in a recent letter to the editor 

he was described as an empty suit. He 

really does not understand the value 

that would identify a true leader. 

Ice-age overdue 

Dear Editor, 

Just a short note on the Carbon Tax 

and Climate Change. 

I can’t believe the success of the climate 

regime to convince very smart 

people into sacrifice their hard-earned 

money for something that is 

unachievable. 

Carbon Tax does not reduce carbon 

emissions. It just enables inefficient 

governments to impose outrageously 

high taxes. 

Just think if you were able to apply 

your carbon tax to your monthly bills, 

it would pay a lot of them.

On the Other Hand 

Privatize profits,

B.P. Schimke 

ECA Review 

On opening day, the Toronto Blue 

Jays had a complete sell out. 

On the sidelines CBC and the 

Toronto Star were following the sale 

and re-sale of every ticket. 

They found 230,519 tickets or 45 per 

cent of the total were immediately 

scooped up by on-line resellers to be resold 

on average 105 per cent above face 

value. 

One of the larger re-sellers then confessed 

on camera that the Blue Jays 

baseball organization took a cut on 

their gain. 

I remember when scalpers were considered 

illegal but now with lax 

regulations and virtually no government 

oversight, fans are really getting 

hosed. 

Not only are Bots able to scoop up 

thousands of tickets in seconds from 

law-abiding citizens, but the Club is 

getting a financial kickback from 

selling one seat twice. 

A W5 investigation found that for 

generic drug companies to get access 

to Costco pharmacies, they are asked 

for million dollar corporate kickbacks. 

In 2017, the generic drug industry in 

Canada was worth $6 billion dollars. 

Our generic drugs are priced 19 per 

cent to 30 per cent above prices in 

Europe, Australia and New Zealand. 

Although two Costco executive 

plead guilty before the Ontario College 

of Pharmacists for professional misconduct, 

no criminal charges were 

brought by the Crown. 

Such kickbacks are illegal in 

Ontario, but in all other provinces, 

including Alberta, it is perfectly legal. 

Costco says these kickbacks help 

lower the cost of everything for Costco 

consumers. 

If I believed that story, which I don’t, 

I take no solace in knowing I’m getting 

my booze, cigarettes and junk food 

cheaper while one in 10 Canadians 

cannot afford to fill their drug 

prescriptions. 

A little known slight-of-hand change 

to bankruptcy laws in 1997 by Stephen 

Harper in one of his omnibus budget 

bills will do more to bankrupt this 

province than any NDP government. 

Before Harper, oil companies that 

went bankrupt had to set aside enough 

value from the good wells to pay for the 

cleanup of their bad well inventory 

before creditors were paid out. 

No more, the changes in 1997 

dropped that requirement, creditors 

get paid first and all non-economic 

wells are turned over to the Orphan 

Well Association (OWA). Because of the 

growing volume of abandoned wells 

and the insufficient funds available 

through the industry-funded OWA, it 

will be taxpayers left holding the bag. 

The government of Alberta isn’t lily 

white in this mess either. 

We are the only jurisdiction in North 

America without regulations defining 

time limits for the cleanup of abandoned 

wells and pipelines. Most 

jurisdictions give two years. 

A change here would stop the behaviour 

of majors selling almost-kaput-oil 

producing assets to smaller companies 

who are much more likely to go 

bankrupt. 

Politicians today across all party 

lines are not actually representing 

ordinary people, but rather the elite. 

Populist leaders have been able to 

identify the depth of dissatisfaction by 

the masses, but for all their bluster, 

they aren’t getting to the root problem. 

The root problem is too often multinational 

and large Canadian 

corporations are being allowed to 

privatize profits and socialize costs. 

Ordinary Canadians, including 

Conservatives, need to stop blindly 

buying into the mantra ‘regulations 

and governments are bad’. 

Until we do, powerful corporations 

and their executives will continue to 

take all of us for a very costly ride!

Right and wrong starts in the home 

by Lois Perepelitz 

The young people south of the 

border are getting together marching 

and protesting for stronger gun laws. 

This could be a good thing. It has 

already made some retailers on both 

sides of the border remove some products 

from their stores. 

It might even be possible that these 

young voices will be able to speak loud 

enough that even the government will 

hear them. That would be nice. 

Of course, as soon as they started 

speaking, people were putting 

answers up on good old Facebook. 

These answers seem to have the 

general theme of kindness. That if the 

young people would stop bullying and 

making fun of others, if they would 

just be kind to each other then 

stronger gun laws would not be 

needed. 

They seem to be saying that the 

reason someone would go on a 

shooting spree is because they have 

been bullied to their breaking point, 

and some people reach that breaking 

point faster than others. 

They might be right, but so are the 

young people. If guns were not so easy 

to get, then it would be harder to go on 

a shooting spree when or if you hit 

that breaking point. 

Yes, being kind to others can help 

keep people from getting to that 

breaking point, so I guess they are 

Does not work 


Carbon tax had been started in several 

countries, such as Australia, only 

to be eliminated a few years later 

because it was too hard on industry 

and citizens and does not work. 

As to global warming, I think the 

next ice-age may be on us when you 

look at current triple-digit below 

normal temperature. 

This is a small reminder of what the 

new ice-age will be like. 

We are overdue for the next ice-age 

as scientists tell us the last ice-age 

ended only 25 to 30 thousand not millions 

of years ago. 

It took the human population down 

to less than 10 thousand people. 

The coming ice-age will also greatly 

diminish earth’s population as it will 

restrict farming to within to 1000 

miles of the equator. 

Two-thirds of all farmland is in the 

northern hemisphere and it would be 

too cold to grow crops. Millions of 

people will starve to death as a result. 

I, for the life of me, cannot figure out 

why we are trying to eliminate the 

only thing that might save us or at 

least prolong something that all scientists 

say is definitely coming. 

The two degrees of warming that 

has now become less than one is easily 

understood because of far more cities 

and far less rural temperatures being 

recorded. 

Cities are always two degrees 

warmer than rural locations. 

Our carbon levels are dangerously 

low at 400 ppm, as plants that we rely 

on for world food supply (the three 

grasses that feed the masses, namely, 

rice, corn and wheat) evolved at 1200 

ppm and it was estimated to be at 4000 

ppm during the age of dinosaurs. 

Nana’s Blog 

both right. 

Now let’s ask where these young 

people are going to learn about kindness 

and right and wrong. The first 

place they learn anything 

is in the home. That’s right 

Mom and Dad, it starts 

with you. 

A child who lives with 

kindness learns to give 

kindness. A child needs to 

learn what is right and 

what is wrong. He needs to 

learn that there will be 

penalties to pay when you 

do the wrong thing. 

Some parents 

think they cannot 

teach about kindness 

and love if 

they also give 

penalties for 

wrongdoing. 

When a child 

knows there will 

be consequences 

for their actions 

they are more 

likely to think 

twice before 

acting. 

If a parent will 

teach the child 

about right and 

wrong and consequences 

as they 

Why would any 

thinking person 

believe a carbon 

tax is going to 

save the earth?

are simply 

stealing our 

money.

need to do all of the above. 

Okay, now we have figured 

out how to keep the young 

people from going on a shooting

The next question is how do 

we stop the adult from going on 

a shooting spree?

Harvey relates the story of what he 

calls the ‘Pioneer Creed.’ 

“I believe in God, my country and

That acted as inspiration for early

These guiding principles were all 

the incentive they needed as they set 

out with no security into a vast 

unknown territory.

Special Areas Advisory Council 

hear from several presenters 

The Special Areas Advisory Council 

finished up their first meeting of 2018 

in Hanna, with the locally elected representatives 

spending two days 

together discussing emerging issues, 

reviewing organizational performance 

and providing direction to the Board 

on work planned for 2018. 

Topics of discussion included the 

Elected Advisory Council Code of 

Conduct, 2017 financial statements 

review, ongoing advocacy efforts with 

the provincial government on significant 

issues impacting ratepayers, and 

some potential future economic development 

projects. 

The locally elected Advisory Council 

welcomed a range of presenters, from 

private citizens to Special Areas staff 

to the Hanna Climate Change 

Taskforce.

Webinar: Soil information viewer - 

steps to becoming an expert 

Agri-News 

Registration is now open 

for the Soil Information 

Viewer: Steps to Becoming 

an Expert webinar, taking 

place on Tuesday, April 24, 

2018 at 10 a.m. 

This series of short webinars 

is designed to explore 

all the features that the 

Alberta Soil Information 

Viewer offers and the information 

it can provide. 

The Alberta Soil 

Information Viewer is a 

database compilation of 

detailed soil maps for the 

entire agriculturally active 

parts of the province of 

Alberta. 

It provides 

aerial photographs 

taken at 3 

different time 

periods: 1999, 

2010, and 2015. 

The viewer 

allows anyone to 

access the soil 

types on the land 

and to zero in on 

the landscapes 

where those types 

can be found. 

“Soil is the fundamental 

structure upon 

which our agricultural 

productivity 

rests,” says Harry 

Brook, crop specialist 

at the 

Alberta Ag-Info 

Centre. 

“Without 

knowledge of its 

components and restrictions, 

resources can be 

wasted or improperly used, 

resulting in disappointing 

crops or even reduced 

productivity.” 

The viewer contains a 

number of useful features 

including a measuring tool 

to mark out a particular 

area in a field, and high resolution 

photo magnification. 

It can measure linear distances 

and area in square 

feet, hectares, or acres. It 

also includes the GPS coordinates 

to allow for ground 

truthing of the selected 

area.

Considerations for your cropping plan 

Agri-News 

An Alberta Agriculture and 

Forestry (AF) specialist says there are 

a few points producers should consider 

before committing acreage to some of 

the less common cropping alternatives 

such as flax, camelina, pulses, and 

hemp. 

“Every year we have the challenge 

of finding profitable crops to grow. 

“The first step in crop planning is 

determining the various costs of production,” 

says Harry Brook, crop 

specialist, with the Alberta Ag-Info 

Centre. 

“By knowing your total production 

costs, you can find out where the combination 

of crop yield and price 

becomes profitable.” 

Brook says it’s extremely important 

to select crops that are profitable and 

acceptable to both the producer and 

their banker. 

“Why grow something that guarantees 

a loss? Anyone can make money at 

$14 per bushel canola, but what about 

at $10 with a less than average yield? 

You can’t grow canola all the time. 

Once the production costs are all 

known, you can then use them as a tool 

to find cost savings without foregoing 

too much yield.” 

With any new crop you try, start 

small. 

“Use the first year as a chance to 

learn the agronomics and particulars 

of the new crop. When growing a new 

crop, it is imperative to get a contract 

first before you grow it. You need to 

know there is a home for it,” explains 

Brook. 

“When there was significant acreage 

of borage in 2005, contracts only 

accounted for a small part of the crop. 

It took a long time to find a home for 

the majority of it. With hemp, Health 

Timeless principles 


These courageous settlers clearly 

were not looking for someone else to 

look after them; they were 

only looking for the incentive 

to seek what they saw as 

an opportunity. 

They didn’t demand anything; 

they saw only the 

optimism of the situation 

and set out to grasp what 

they saw as an opportunity 

that lay in front of them. 

In his 12 minute broadcast, 

he traces the history of 

escalating taxation and the 

role it played in the devastation 

of the once great civilizations in 

China, Spain, Greece and the Roman 

Empire. 

He makes the connection and 

explains how these civilizations succumbed 

to the lure of security 

through taxation, a security that 

they ultimately never achieved. 

They didn’t want opportunity, they 

wanted security, and the government 

gave them chains, and they were 

secure! 

Incentive for individual achievement 

isn’t fostered by government 

providing anything other than the 

opportunity to realize a person’s 

abilities and full potential. 

One of the most tragic things in 

life is unexplored potential and 

ability. Without that incentive to 

explore an opportunity, unfortunately 

these things are all too often 

wasted. 

The recent Albertan NDP budget 

has further diminished any incentive, 

by moving further down the 

Strankman 

Canada requires paperwork before 

you can grow it. 

“There is also a requirement for 

inspection of the crop, and all harvest 

seed must be sold to the company you 

bought your seed from. If production 

contracts are not available, take that 

as a sign it may be hard to sell and not 

be readily marketable. You also need to 

consider storing that crop.” 

Pulse crops are valuable to grow for 

their reduced fertilizer requirements 

and the additional benefits for following 

crops as they extract nutrients 

from the crop residue. Says Brook, 

“Peas, lentils, and faba beans all provide 

a nitrogen benefit and have 

established markets. 

However, recent trade issues with 

India have dropped the price of peas 

and lentils, making those less 

profitable. 

Peas grow throughout the province, 

but there are issues related to 

standability. 

Lentils grow best in the brown and 

dark brown soil zones. 

Faba beans will grow well in the 

black and grey wooded soil zones but 

they take a long time to mature and 

should be seeded early.” 

Brook notes that there are two distinct 

and separate markets for faba 

beans. 

“The low tannin faba beans are 

almost totally marketed to the hog 

industry as a soybean replacement. 

There is also a human consumption 

market for the high tannin varieties of 

faba beans. 

“Insect pests can be a problem with 

quality, as sucking insects mark the 

seed. Markets are up and down and 

you need to assure yourself there is 

profit from growing them.” 

Above all, Brook advises caution. 

path towards government reliance 

that eliminates opportunity, as the 

burden of Alberta’s record debt 

mounts. 

A tried and true principle 

is that debt has never been 

conducive to providing 

opportunity, which in turn, 

limits the investor incentive 

required to ultimately create 

opportunities. 

Albertans had a lot in 

common with the early pioneers 

who set out with little 

more than an opportunity 

and a wagon loaded with 

incentive. 

History has shown that the people 

of Alberta will, when given the 

incentive, use the freedom of opportunity 

to create their own security 

and provide for themselves. 

Further continuation of the NDP 

insistence of an increased tax burden 

will only serve to escalate a downward 

cycle that will seriously deter 

any incentive towards self reliance. 

There’s no disputing the fact that 

some principles are timeless when it 

comes to being successful; principles 

that will undoubtedly always apply. 

A key principle on the road to success 

relates to being proactive. 

You can wait for opportunities to 

pop up in life. Or, you can go out 

there and create your own opportunities. 

The latter is definite and 

much more empowering. 

Like principles, Albertan’s desire 

to be self reliant will never change, 

but in order to be self reliant, incentive 

has to exist. 

“Become informed on issues related to 

any new crop, both for growing and 

marketing it. Talk to people who 

already produce it. 

“Crunch the numbers on anticipated 

costs and returns to make sure the 

experiment doesn’t end up costing too 

much. Learn from other’s mistakes, 

don’t make your own.” 

“By taking care of the details when 

planning cropping changes, you can do 

everything you can to make ensure a 

profitable outcome, and not just a bill 

for the education.”

AUC ruling on request to file additional 

evidence on Halkirk 2 Wind Project 

The Alberta Utilities 

Commission (AUC) considered 

two requests to file 

additional evidence for the 

Halkirk 2 Wind Power 

Project. 

The Battle River Group 

(BRG) requested an opportunity 

to file additional 

evidence relating to an airstrip 

owned by Gerard and 

Donna Fetaz; and a request 

from Joseph and Sara 

Felzien and Stacy and 

Trisha Fuller (the new BRG 

members) to participate in 

the proceeding as members 

of the BRG and submit evidence 

related to a January 

2018 application 

amendment. 

Based on the submissions 

filed, the Commission on 

March 21, 2018 determined 

that the BRG failed to establish 

sufficient grounds to 

warrant the inclusion of the 

airstrip information at this 

stage of the proceeding. 

The BRG neither alleged 

that the airstrip information 

was not known to it by the

ECA Review 

In a comprehensive facilities 

report, Associate 

Superintendent Peter Neale 

delivered positive news to 

trustees at the Mar. 20 board 

meeting. 

Despite limited resources 

of time and funds, the 

Facilities Services Update 

for 2017-18 reveals Clearview 

has succeeded in keeping 

school facilities throughout 

the division well-maintained 

and effective for student 

learning. 

In his report, Neale 

explained details on facility 

conditions, school capacity 

and utilization, net operating 

costs, infrastructure 

maintenance renewal (IMR) 

dollars spent, and work 

orders. 

According to the Facilities 

Condition Index (FCI), the 

rating for Clearview facilities 

is very good, ranging 

from zero per cent to 15 per 

cent. 

The FCI is the ratio of the 

cost to correct current and 

future (five year) deficiencies 

relative to current 

facility replacement values. 

All Clearview schools 

with the exception of 

Donalda School are under 

the FCI of 15 per cent with 

Donalda sitting right at 15 

per cent. 

School utilization 

in Clearview 

schools ranges 

from 23 per cent 

in Byemoor to 81 

per cent at Gus 

Wetter. 

IMR dollars 

totalled $777,083 

in 2016-17 and 

$1,218,745 is available 

to be spent in 

2017-18. 

Overall 

Clearview’s educational 

facilities 

are in good condition 

with no 

critical issues. 

A new, easy to 

use phone application 

promises 

to enhance communication 

for parents, students and 

staff. 

After a soft launch in 

March, Clearview expects 

the new app to be finalized 

for the entire school community 

by April. 

Key features of the app 

include a one-stop spot to 

obtain detailed information, 

real-time updates to student 

busing in the mornings and 

afternoons, the ability to add 

calendar events directly to 

personal mobile devices and 

access to the latest district 

wide school news all in one 

place. 

Information will be up-todate, 

customized to 

individual schools, news and 

events with quick access to 

phone numbers, website and 

staff information. 

Stettler Trade Show 

Trustees will be manning 

the Clearview booth at the 

2018 Stettler Trade Show. 

Confirming plans for the 

April 13-15 event, the board 

has decided to feature the 

new technology being utilized 

in Clearview schools. 

Parents will have the 

opportunity to learn more 

about devices such as 

z-Space, a virtual reality 

technology for education 

and the C-Pen, a reader pen 

scanner for students with 

reading difficulties.

The Commission determined 

that the BRG has not established

Viola Muriel Carson 

April 9, 1937 - March 15, 2015 

Viola was born the first of three 

daughters to James and Jaunita 

Richardson in Coronation. She passed 

away at the Hardisty Long 

Term Care. 

Viola lived in the 

Caroline/Chedderville area 

from the age of 4½ until she 

was 12 years old. 

She told many happy stories 

of growing up near her 

Uncle Donald and Aunt 

Helen Cole and the fun she 

had with her cousins. 

When the family moved Carson 

back to the Brownfield area, 

she was then surrounded by 

her many Black, Richardson and Cole 

relatives. 

She attended High school at 

Briercrest and in Calgary, she lived 

with the John Richardson’s family and 

worked part-time and then attended 

the Baptist Leadership Training 

School. 

Later she moved to Castor where she 

worked at the Lady Of Our Rosary 

Hospital until she married Franklin 

Carson Oct. 11,1958. 

Viola then moved to their farm near 

Hughenden, Ab. where they raised 

their family. 

She took training to run a Kidney 

Dialysis machine and practiced 

that for several years. 

They sold their farm in 1990 

and moved into their new 

house in Hughenden where 

they spent some retirement 

years. 

Viola’s life had many passions: 

her faith in God, her 

husband and family were her 

top priorities which included 

taking their children and 

then grandchildren to 

summer Bible Camps at 

Sunnyside ,Sylvan Lake, Veteran and 

Moose Lake. 

She always loved the outdoors and 

spending time in her huge garden, her 

flowers and looking after her fruit 

trees. 

She enjoyed doing handiwork in the 

forms of quilting, sewing clothes for 

her children, embroidering, crossstitch, 

crocheting and also decorating 

many cakes for her children, weddings 

Worked hard but 

made time for fun

raising livestock, so by sharing these 

photos and stories we hope to help educate 

Albertans about life on the farm 

and the vital role agriculture plays in 

our lives.” 

The #FarmBabies18 contest is open

Two vehicle collision 

Drumheller 

RCMP, EMS, and

known as 

Morrin corner. 

Investigation 

revealed an eastbound 

car had 

drifted into the 

opposite lane and 

collided head on 

with a westbound 

tractor trailer. 

The driver and 

lone occupant of 

the tractor trailer 

did not sustain 

any injuries. The 

driver and lone 

occupant of the 

car, a 39 year old 

male from 

Youngstown, Ab. 

was pronounced 

deceased at the 

scene. No 

charges will be 

laid and no 

names will be 

released. 

Theft from 

energy site 

Killam RCMP 

responded to a 

break and enter 

with theft at an 

energy site near 

Range Road 142 

in Flagstaff 

County March 26 

that occurred 

between midnight 

and 8 a.m. 

the same 

morning. 

Suspect(s) cut 

locks while on the 

property and 

access was 

gained to several 

buildings. A 

number of items 

were stolen 

including copper 

wire and cables. 

Damages to the 

building and theft 

of property is 

estimated to be 

$250,000. 

Killam RCMP 

continue to investigate 

and are

you have information 

about this 

incident, please call the 

Killam RCMP at 780-385- 

3509 or call your local police. 

Uh oh, … now what? 

Advertorial 

You’re one of those people 

that notices something that 

doesn’t seem to work well. 

Or is just a pain in the butt 

to do. 

You ponder “there must 

be a better way”. It eats away 

at you. You grab a napkin 

and start sketching. 13 napkins 

later you head out to 

the garage and start whittling 

away with parts and 

pieces you have kicking 

around, determined to solve 

that pain in the ass. 

You don’t really spend 

much time thinking about 

how to solve the myriad 

problems you are likely to 

encounter. You focus only on 

the “next” problem. One 

solution at a time. 

Next thing you know, you 

have a pile of scrap and one 

semi-workable prototype. 

Your friends are 

impressed, your spouse 

thinks you’ve lost your marbles. 

All that work, … for 

that? But you’re proud, and 

that’s what really matters. 

You’ve solved that nagging 

pain in the butt problem. 

Then it hits you. Uh oh, … 

now what? How do I go about 

getting a real version 

manufactured? 

How do I get my foot in the 

door of industry-X to get 

them to try it and buy it? 

or Crime Stoppers by phone 

at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). 

How do I simultaneously 

reveal it and still protect it? 

How do I know someone else 

isn’t doing the same thing? 

And most importantly, 

where is all the money going 

to come from? 

Battle Bend Energy – 403- 

741-4920, ask for Don. 

That’s exactly what we do. 

Our team is networked to 

get you in front of the people 

that can endorse your 

efforts. 

We are direct links to 

industry. We are a network 

of strong capital resources 

that want to invest in you. 

We are knowledgeable 

about a variety of industries, 

both here and globally. We 

know stuff. And what we 

don’t know, we know 

someone who does. 

And you’re right, it can 

take an awful lot of money to 

achieve full 

commercialization. 

This may be the first time 

you have done such a thing, 

but it’s not ours. 

We will never say that the 

inventing is the easy part, 

but we have seen so many 

great ideas still on a shelf 

due to barriers to realizing 

commercialization.
