Request to reconsider minimum property tax of $500 

A letter urging council to reconsider 

the minimum municipal tax of $500 

was denied at the regular Coronation 

Town Council meeting on Mon. Aug. 

13. 

Leanne Watson of Stavely, Ab., 

owner of farm property that falls on 

the east side of Albert St. from 

Imperial Ave. to York Ave., wrote in 

her request to council, “Certainly this 

would seem, for lack of a better term, a 

‘money grab’ as all of the properties 

that are close to or above the minimum 

$500 would not be affected.” 

Watson’s taxes have increased from 

$41.75 to $507.49. 

“We did this for a reason,” stated 

Coun. Vickey Horkoff. Council unanimously 

denied the request. 

Riding Arena proposal 

Council learned that the proposal by 

Darin Eno at a previous council 

meeting to construct an enclosed 

riding arena at the Coronation Rodeo 

Grounds that could potentially be used 

for the Bull-a-Rama, riding practice 

and competitions, 4-H shows and sales 

has the agreement by the Coronation 

Ag Society that they will be the managing 

partner for the construction of 

this facility as well as management 

upon its completion. 

Council agreed to issue a letter of 

support and consent as the Ag Society 

will be applying for grants. 

Dirt stockpile 

Council was asked by administration 

to consider future use for the old 

BMX track area as a green space/recreation 

area for public use and 

enjoyment, as well as an area for overflow 

camping for ball tournaments in 

conjunction with Communities in 

Coronation Town Council 

Bloom (CiB) plans for an edible 

orchard. 

Currently campers are permitted to 

park along the northwest corner of 

Ball Diamond #4 for tournaments and 

pay $20 per night for unserviced 

camping fees. 

It was agreed to ask the Ag Society to 

find an alternate site to store the dirt 

stockpiled for the Bull-a-Rama from 

year to year so the town could plant 

grass, provide picnic tables and garbage 

receptacles for this area. 

“That means more work for the town 

staff,” noted Coun. Shelley Cook. 

Lifejacket Loaner Stations 

Council received information 

regarding a $1,000 grant approval for 

the construction of a Lifejacket Loaner 

Station in Coronation from Cabela’s 

Canada Outdoor Fund to build the station. 

The initial supply of lifejackets of 

varying sizes will be supplied by 

Cabela’s Canada. 

The Lifesaving Society will also provide 

banners, posters and ‘water 

smart’ education materials for the 

station. 

Sheri Wuzinski proposes that lifejacket 

kiosks be developed at both the 

Coronation Pool and the Coronation 

Dam to ensure that there is sufficient 

access to this valuable lifesaving 

resource at both public use waterbased 

recreation areas. 

Council accepted the material for 

information and administration will 

look into actual costs for construction 

of the two kiosks. 

Bylaw report 

Bylaw Officer Sheri Wuzinski 

reported on July activities including 

one fine for a trailer unlawfully parked 

on the street. Her report also included 

three other trailers parked unlawfully 

on the street, seven unsightly properties, 

four derelict vehicles and three 

dog calls. 

PEPS donation 

Council unanimously passed the 

resolution for the Paintearth Regional 

Waste Management Ltd. (PRWM) corporation 

to provide the annual funding 

grant of $100,000 to the Paintearth 

Economic Partnership Society (PEPS) 

for their operating budget. 

Camp kitchen 

Council approved clarification on 

the partial and full day rates for the 

campground kitchen. A partial day is 

now defined to be four hours or less 

and a full day, more than four hours. 

Transitional progress report 

Urban Systems, hired to work with 

Battle River Economic Opportunites 

Committee (BREOC) provided a 

written report to council that included 

information regarding the two 

Economic Transition Centres being set 

up to open Oct. 1 tentatively. 

One is to be located in the old 

Paintearth Gas Co-op building on 

main street, Castor and the second 

office is on the second floor in the provincial 

building in Forestburg with 

ongoing renovations to both locations 

proceeding. A wheel chair lift will be 

necessary for access to the Forestburg 

office at a cost of $30,000 to $40,000. 

Each centre will have one manager 

and one assistant with the positions 

lasting 18 months. 

Budget shortfall of $145,685 is being 

addressed by members of BREOC who 

are involved seeking additional 

funding as the initial Coal Community 

Transition Fund (CCTF) application 

for an additional $700,000 was not 

approved by the government. 

Members include the municipalities 

of the counties of Paintearth and 

Flagstaff, and communities of 

Forestburg, Heisler, Halkirk, Castor 

and Coronation. 

Canadian Badlands Tourism 

Coronation council will apply to 

host a one-day session for Canadian 

Badlands Tourism guest speaker, 

Roger Brooks. 

The town will be required to provide 

a meeting room for 150 people, 

morning coffee/tea and lunch and 

marketing the event. 

Brooks is a tourism destination 

development expert hired by Canadian 

Badlands Tourism for a learning tour 

in four communities across the region. 

Land Use bylaw 

Council passed third and final 

reading of the Land Use bylaw to 

include provisions to allow placement 

of fabric covered buildings and C-Can 

storage units in residential and commercial 

districts. Currently they are 

only permitted in Industrial districts. 

Payments 

In the cheque listing for approval by 

council, it was noted that the town 

paid $126,126. prepayment to 

Horseshoe Paving for the Community 

Centre parking lot paving which the 

Community Hall Board has already 

reimbursed in full to the town. 

Other expenses included lighting for 

$27,405 and new flooring upstairs in 

the arena for $21,265; and flooring in 

the Lion’s Rec Centre for $9,347. 

County of Paintearth 

Development Plan enters final draft stage 

Terri Huxley 

ECA Review 

The County of Paintearth held an 

open house on a new agreement 

required by Alberta Municipal Affairs 

on Tues. Aug. 14 in the hopes of 

receiving feedback about this new 

partnership between the County of 

Paintearth and the M.D. of Provost. 

As of April 1, the Municipal 

Government Act (MGA) has mandated 

the development and implementation 

of an Intermunicipal Development 

Plan (IDP) between councils of municipalities 

and or villages or towns with 

common boundaries. 

These IDP’s are meant to create a 

standard for communication and decision 

making between the two entities. 

Regulations are also put in place in 

case of disputes or disagreements. 

“The benefits will always be 

increased communication and information 

sharing between two 

neighbours. I can’t really see too much 

drawbacks from them unless its from 

a contentious project and that is going 

to be project by project basis anyway.” 

Todd Pawsey, County of Paintearth 

Development Officer, gave an overview 

on how the plan will work once in 

place. 

Both Counties consider the relationship 

in good standing but will allow 

for increased communication especially 

along the fringe area they share. 

“The government a couple years ago 

in updating the MGA basically decided 

that any municipality that borders 

another one has to have these agreements 

in place. 

“I think in their mind and their 

thinking it was mostly designed from 

the rural planning around urban 

municipalities and they may or may 

not have considered the impact of 

rural to rural because we have so 

many rural to rural borders. 

“There is never that much contention 

in rural to rural that there used to 

be historically between urban to 

rural.” 

The fringe area refers to the area 

within a mile of the shared border 

which means a two mile strip in the 

north east stretches approximately 20 

miles in length. 

Notification letters were sent to 

residents and businesses in this fringe 

area but only one phone call was 

received. 

“I can’t see it affecting anybody 

because we are not changing as our 

land uses are the same,” explained 

Pawsey. 

The M.D of Provost will be holding 

their open house next week to discuss 

the same draft. 

Once that is complete and opinions 

are accepted, if any, the document will 

be formalized as a bylaw which will 

follow normal proceedings. 

First reading may come as early as 

the end of September. 

AgriSpirit Fund supports 

community initiatives 

The M.D. of Wainwright, Holden 

Agricultural Society and the Hussar 

Rural Fire Association all received 

monies from Farm Credit Canada 

(FCC) for projects in their 

communities. 

The M.D. of Wainwright received 

$25,000 of the purchase of a water 

tanker truck for the Irma Fire & 

Rescue Department and Hussar Rural 

Fire Association will receive $20,000 to 

purchase a new motor vehicle rescue 

tools. 

Holden Agricultural Society will 

receive $20,000 to renovate the arena. 

FCC is giving a total of $1.5 million 

through its FCC AgriSpirit Fund to 84 

community groups across Canada to 

support rural capital projects. 

Seventeen communities in Alberta 

received monies ranging from $25,000 

to $5,000. 

Over the past 15 years, the FCC 

AgriSpirit Fund has supported 1,170 

projects, an investment of more than 

$13.5 million. 

The next application period opens in 

the spring of 2019. Registered charities, 

municipalities and non-profit 

organization interested in funding can 

visit www.fccagrispiritfund.ca for eligibility 

requirements, to apply online 

and view past projects.

Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB) member Blake Chapman, left, prepares some notes while Craig 

Teal, board chair, addresses the crowd during the Paradise Shores Appeal Hearing on Thurs. Aug. 16., in the Stettler 

Community Hall. The next hearing will be held on Tues. Sept. 18. 

ECA Review/T.Huxley 

High attendance at 

Paradise Shores hearing 

Terri Huxley 


Over 120 people were in attendance 

to witness the continuation of the 

Subdivision and Development Appeal 

Board (SDAB) meeting involving the 

Paradise Shores development on 

Buffalo Lake. 

The proposed project, a 750 lot RV 

resort on the south banks of Buffalo 

Lake, has caused major waves in communities 

residing nearby. 

The SDAB meeting was held in the 

Stettler Community Hall on Thurs. 

Aug. 16., to go over any procedural 

problems and determine future plans. 

Eight appellants submitted applications 

against the project and one was 

received from the developer in favour 

of it. 

The meeting was chaired by Craig 

Teal. Teal, Greggory Jackson and 

Blake Chapman made up the appeal 

board. An appointed lawyer as well as 

Yvette Cassidy filled in as the SDAB 

secretary. 

Next door neighbours Rochon Sands 

Heights Community Association spoke 

up the most during the meeting. 

The party was concerned with collusion 

involving the Paradise Shores 

developer Rick Halpern and Stettler 

County’s developer Johan Van 

Derbank. 

FOIP documents were seized for the 

1000 page report outlining each conversation 

that may have been 

pertinent to this concern. 

Developers have the right to make 

contact through text or other forms of 

communication but interactions must 

remain professional, not social in 

nature according to Municipal 

Government Act (MGA) which was 

highlighted in the community association’s 

appeal submission. 

The texts recovered said things like 

“Thank you for lunch. Great to meet 

your family. The food was great. I just 

sent over that drawing. Have a great 

evening.” and “This will all still be 

here on Monday morning. 

Please go enjoy your family 

for the weekend. Have a 

great weekend. That’s as a 

friend not a developer.” 

The SDAB members were 

also prior Stettler County 

council members. 

“Do any of the board 

members feel that the previous 

professional or 

personal relations with the 

development authority of the 

County of Stettler influence 

your ability to provide a fair 

and unbiased hearing?” 

asked Julie Ruttan, Rochon 

Sands Community 

Association representative. 

The board decided that 

these interactions and past 

connections were not 

enough to change board 

members and ruled that 

they were ‘satisfied that 

they do not have a bias’ 

which furthered the 

hearing. 

Paradise Shores’ lawyer 

asked for a grace period of 

20 days or less to read 

through the 1000 page 

package more thoroughly in 

claims of ‘fairness of 

process’. 

The board agreed to this 

but also extended the same 

Squeeze 

3” wide version 

the MOST out of your advertising dollars 

Place your ad here 

AND province 12345 wide 

with a combined circulation 

of over 800,000 for only... 

courtesy to the appellants. 

After 20 days, all final 

submissions will be taken 

and added to the package if 

there is any. 

After this deadline, the 

board will review before the 

next hearing. 

The next SDAB hearing 

will be held on September 

18. 

The final bullet point on 

the board’s agenda pertained 

to how the hearing 

will be conducted in 

September. 

After deliberation, the 

board produced two options; 

the first being to have each 

appellant say their piece 

before the board or to have 

each appellant speak about a 

number of specific topics as 

to avoid repetitiveness. 

Each speaker will have 

the chance for a rebuttal 

after all topics have been 

covered. 

The Rochon Sands 

Community Association 

was in favour of the first 

option as to make powerful 

points during their speech 

but the board chose the 

option of specific topics to 

avoid repetition.

Morrin council 

Municipal 

Affairs observes 

council meeting 

Two representatives from 

Municipal Affairs informed 

Morrin councillors they 

were present to observe, at 

their regular meeting on 

Wed. Aug. 15. 

They explained that with 

all the changes in the 

amended Municipal 

Government Act (MGA) last 

fall, they were given a mandate 

to visit all villages and 

towns in Alberta every four 

years to assure Municipal 

Affairs that the MGA was 

being followed. 

Municipal Affairs will 

provide a full report to 

council and the public following 

attendance at the 

meeting and spending time 

in the office the following 

morning with Chief 

Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Annette Plachner. 

After getting confirmation 

from the two 

representatives that they 

would only need a couple 

minutes during the meeting 

to explain their presence 

and possibly answer a 

couple questions, council 

unanimously passed a 

motion to approve the 

amended agenda that would 

include the delegation 

request which was previously 

denied by CAO 

Plachner. 

According to Mayor 

Howard Helton in an interview 

following the meeting, 

Endeavor Chartered 

Accountants presentation of 

the 2017 Financial 

Statements had been put off 

again because, according to 

CAO Plachner, Municipal 

Affairs would take up too 

much time at the August 

meeting. 

The Financial Statements 

are usually presented prior 

to approval of the budget, 

however, it was put off until 

a water audit was received, 

according to the CAO. The 

2017 Financial Statements 

will be brought forward at 

the next meeting, Wed. Sept 

19. 

The agenda with the 10 

minute delegation, the 

perusal and approval of the 

accounts payable, council 

concerns, council reports 

and the delegation, John 

Siemens, took up only one 

half hour to 7:30 p.m. 

Siemens raised issues he 

has with the village as per 

the Procedural Bylaw #352 

in regards to misinformation, 

made up rules, and not 

following the Municipal 

Affairs Act by the village 

employee. 

An hour and a half incamera 

for legal and 

personnel ensued and was 

followed by two motions. 

A unanimous decision 

was made to camera the 

sewer lines as requested by 

the Village’s insurance 

company. 

A further unanimous 

decision was made that 

directed Mayor Helton to 

provide a performance 

review letter to the CAO.

Town of Stettler Council has given


 

Town of Hanna 

Lease agreement with the Hanna Rod and Gun Club 

Emily Wheller 


The Town of Hanna council 

has moved to enter into a land 

lease agreement with the 

Hanna Rod and Gun Club. 

The decision was made 

during the regular meeting held 

on Aug 14. 

The land, described as a portion 

of the northwest quarter of 

Section 16, Township 31, Range 

14, west of the fourth Meridian, 

will be leased by the Hanna Rod 

and Gun Club where the club 

will operate a trap shooting 

facility. 

This is a 20-year agreement 

that will expire on Dec.31, 2037, 

but also has a termination 

clause for either party to end 

the agreement with one year’s 

notice prior to this expiration 

date. 

The club is also required to 

provide liability coverage. 

A clause regarding the maintenance 

of the property, which 

is to be done by the Hanna Rod 

and Gun Club, will be added to 

the lease as well. 

The club has been operating 

the trap shooting facility from 

this location for a number of 

years. 

There was no previous lease 

agreement made between the 

Town and the Club although 

administration found a draft 

agreement from 2005. 

Giving circles 

Council accepted a presentation 

from Laurie Armstrong 

and Tannis Voltner of the 100 

Women Who Care Alliance 

Hanna Chapter. 

The group has quarterly 

meetings where members 

donate $100 and listen to presentations 

from nominated local 

organizations. 

Once all the presentations 

have been heard, the members 

vote and all the funds go the 

chosen organization. 

“As individuals, it is difficult 

to make a very large impact, but 

as a group we believe we have 

the ability to contribute to the 

growth of our communities in 

ways that we never before 

thought was possible,” states 

the organization’s website 

www.100womenhanna.com. 

“To put it simply, we are 

‘giving circles’ focused on 

making collective gifts to local 

non-profits.” 

“One hundred per cent of the 

money that comes in goes out,” 

said Armstrong. 

The recipient of the first 

meeting, held in May, was 

Dryland Emergency Medical 

Services (DEMSA) where they 

received $5,025 towards a new 

vehicle. 

The Royal Canadian Legion 

No. 25 Hanna was gifted $5,125, 

during the second meeting 

which was held on Mon. Aug. 13. 

This money will go towards 

the replacement of the south 

facing second story windows 

and door. 

The 100 Women Who Care 

Alliance currently have 51 

members, which is comprised of 

approximately 80 individuals. 

The group will focus on 

building their female numbers 

before expanding into youth 

groups and possibly even a male 

chapter. 

“My ask is that you help 

spread the word, and help us get 

more members,” said 

Armstrong. 

“The more members we have, 

the stronger we will be and the 

thought of getting, a minimum, 

of 100 people in an hour, 

donating $100. 

“Five thousand almost brings 

them to tears. Ten thousand can 

make a huge impact on these 

groups.” 

Tree inventory 

Grace Curry presented a 

Public Tree Inventory report to 

council, which was accepted as 

information. 

Curry also presented mapping 

software she used to 

document the trees. 

The software was used to give 

each tree an identification 

number and important information 

such as GPS location, 

species, age, condition, maintenance 

records and even photos. 

“This helps us in our discussions 

and planning when we are 

looking at the parks,” said 

Director of Community 

Services Gwen Snell. “It really 

becomes a big planning tool for 

us.” 

The document includes summaries 

of individual parks and 

the maintenance priority of 

each. 

There are three high priority 

parks; Fox Lake Campground, 

the Hanna Museum and Hector 

King Hunter Pioneer Park 

all of which will require 

attention. 

There is approximately 

615 trees and 50 bushes 

located on the town’s boulevards, 

while there are 

approximately 1831 trees 

and 344 bushes in parks and 

green spaces. 

Now Open 

Curry, who was hired 

through funding from the 

Summer Work Experience 

Green Jobs Initiative, has 

completed many projects for 

the Town of Hanna since 

starting in May 2018, 

including the Tree Bylaw 

and the Tree Maintenance 

and Care Manual.

As white nationalism and anti- 

Semitic acts of violence rise worldwide, 

on a recent European trip, I was interested 

to hear and feel local sentiments. 

Stops included the heart and soul of 

Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany— 

Nuremberg and Munich. 

Tour guides in Germany did not 

fudge the facts about Nazi Germany 

nor justify the complacency of their 

ancestors towards Hitler. 

Seems in the early 1970s, the government 

became concerned that their 

younger generations were forgetting 

the frightful history of six million 

Jews exterminated by Germans. To 

stop the growing ignorance, a visit by 

all 15 year-old students to a concentration 

camp became mandatory. 

As one interpretative guide 

explained, there were three reasons 

why the Jews were persecuted in 

Germany. First, even as early as the 

1100s, evidence was uncovered 

showing the church historically persecuted 

Jews for not accepting the 

Messiah. 

Second, Adolf Hitler hated Jews and 

they were his perfect scape goat to 

dehumanize and solidify fear and 

hatred towards a common enemy. 

And lastly, the Jews were persecuted 

because of envy. 

After World War I, anyone who 

wanted to join a guild had to swear on 

the Bible, which a practicing Jew 

would never have done. At the same 

time, Bible-believing Christians 

understood it to be wrong to loan 

money with interest or go into debt. 

Without an opportunity to take up a 

trade, industrious Jews started banks 

and used debt to fund new mercantile 

activities, getting rich in the process. 

Austrian interpretative guides mentioned 

its country’s torrid past with 

 

Nana’s Blog 

Hitler, but the passion and fervour 

shown by German interpreters didn’t 

seem as evident. In fact, Austria has 

elected a far-right wing government 

and its first action was to close the 

border to refugees. 

At the wedding of Austria’s Foreign 

Affairs Minister’s daughter, invited 

guest President Vladimir Putin of 

Russia seemed to have a very warm 

and cozy relationship with this highranking 

Austrian politician. 

Austria was a willing subject to 

Adolf Hitler during World War II and 

Austria’s flirting with Russia and their 

ardent stance against refugees leads 

one to ponder their memories of 

history. 

Hungary is doing their race-purity 

policy by refusing refugees and 

enacting strong anti-immigration 

laws. They offer married couples who 

commit to having three children in 10 

years, a 32,000 euro cheque to purchase 

a home. 

Hungarians average income per 

year is 800 euro. The hope behind the 

three-child policy—one replaces mom, 

one replaces dad and one grows the 

population and expands the economy 

without immigration. 

Attacks against Jews and other religious 

minorities are on the rise 

throughout Western countries, and 

that includes Germany and Canada. 

One German interpreter told a 

recent story where thousands of Nazi 

followers gathered for a rally in the 

centre square of Bamberg. It was 

thwarted when the local Priest rang 

the church bells for hours making it 

impossible for speakers to be heard. 

Ironically, the Priest was charged 

and found guilty under German law of 

obstructing freedom of speech, but 

who said democracies weren’t messy. 

But, alas, the future can be more 

than messy when we forget the past. 

Pickle recipe lives for 

another generation 

by Lois Perepelitz 

On one of the hottest days of the year 

I was chopping up four litres of yellow 

beans to make pickles. My place has 

some nice shade trees so it usually 

stays cool during the day, but by the 

time I had the beans cooking and the 

brine boiling it was getting very warm 

in here. 

It made me wonder how they did it in 

the old days. 

With all the heat we have been 

having I have been watching the 

weather reports to see if we have been 

breaking any records. 

I was surprised to see that we did not 

break very many at all. I noticed that 

most of the records were set in the 

1930’s . 

In the 1930’s the women would have 

been cooking on the good ole wood 

stove. They would have needed to get 

that fire going pretty hot to get things 

boiling on the top of that stove. 

Having that kind of heat in a room 

on a plus 30 Celsius day must have 

been horrible. 

The women of that time would not 

just be making one or two small 

batches of their favourite pickles, they 

would have been canning the winter 

supply of veggies and fruits.

Rights should be sacred 

with cannabis laws 

Dear Editor, 

Cannabis becomes legal in Canada 

in October, and it continues, to be a 

contentious issue. Presently municipalities 

are amending their bylaws to 

comply with the legislation. 

Under the Alberta Gaming and 

Liquor Act, citizens of a municipality 

may, by plebiscite, opt out of retail 

liquor sales. The citizens of Cardston, 

Ab. following a plebiscite, have not had 

retail liquor sales, for many years. 

Unfortunately, our provincially 

elected officials in Alberta, in enacting 

the Alberta Cannabis Act, did not 

include a similar opting out clause, as 

did the provinces of Saskatchewan and 

Quebec. 

Perhaps our Alberta government, 

does not respect the rights of 

Albertans to make that decision on 

their own ? 

Albertans, through a democratic 

vote, in a plebiscite under proper election 

rules, should be able to decide 

whether they may opt out of cannabis 

retail sales. 

I believe the non- inclusion of this 

clause is a direct infringement of citizens’ 

rights under Section 7 of the 

Charter Rights and Freedoms. 

Section 7, which states “Everyone 

has the right to life, liberty and security 

of the person and the right not to 

be deprived thereof except in accordance 

with the principles of 

fundamental justice” was specifically 

JoYCe Webster 

Publisher/Editor 

publisher@ECAreview.com 

BoNNY WilliAMs 

Circulation Manager 

included in the Charter so the rights of 

citizens, be protected and not trampled, 

by Governments. 

Citizens of a municipality should 

have the right to decide whether to opt 

out. I question whether the Alberta 

Government is forcing an agenda upon 

their citizens, and removing Albertans 

democratic right to decide. 

Is the Government of Alberta, in 

pushing the cannabis agenda and not 

including an opting out clause, hoping 

municipalities for financial reasons 

and a possible long battle in the 

courts, hoping they will simple opt out 

of the fight for their democratic rights? 

On August 15, the Village of Alix 

council voted unanimously to have a 

public vote under proper election rules 

on the cannabis issue, so our citizens 

may have the democratic right to 

decide if they want a retail cannabis 

store in their community. 

The citizens of Alix, both pro and 

con, on this issue, are being afforded 

the right to decide and not have the federal 

and provincial governments, 

make the decision for them. 

I urge all Albertans to contact their 

members of the Legislative Assembly 

and members of Parliament and make 

their feelings known. 

Do not allow, your democratic right 

to be infringed by the federal and provincial 

governments.

Castor’s own Tiara van Zandbergen 

has made a big indent in the world of 

music these past few months. 

She and 10 others had their top 

piano pieces chosen to be published in 

a book titled ‘Fingerprints’ by the 

editor of the Keyboard Camp in 

Biggar, Saskatchewan. 

Many from the camp requested 

their work get in but were turned 

down. 

The camp, which took place on 

Wednesday, August 8 and Thursday, 

August 9, offered students ages seven 

to 21 the opportunity to develop their 

skills through techniques and other 

trained qualities. 

It was made possible through the 

Canadian National Conservatory of 

Music. 

At the camp, attendees were split up 

amongst different age groups and skill 

levels, each team with a leader who 

was typically one of Canada’s top 

piano composers. 

“So they come and we all compose 

like one big group song together and 

then we performed it the very last 

day,” said van Zandbergen. 

Mini sessions were created so each 

age group can interact with more composers 

than just their assigned leader. 

“We learn stuff like cording and 

Days of cooking and canning 

winter supplies in the heat 

Cont’d from Pg 6 

This would mean days of cooking 

and canning in the heat. 

Some farms would have a small 

building beside the main house that 

would have an extra stove in it and 

that would be used as the summer 

kitchen. 

This would keep the house cool but 

the women still had to cook in the 

heat. Those veggies needed to be 

canned and those berries needed to be 

made into jam when they were ripe no 

matter what the weather was. 

It is easy to understand why women 

were so willing to give up their canning 

when the canned goods started to 

be available in grocery stores. 

I just feel sad that so many recipes 

that had been passed down through 

the generations are now getting lost 

because no one is using them. 

With air conditioning and modern 

appliances heat is not the big problem 

it was, now the problem is time and 

not having enough of that. 

I look at my small batch of yellow 

bean mustard pickles and wonder if I 

will be the last to use this recipe that 

was handed down from my mother 

since my daughter and granddaughters 

do not seem interested in making 

their own pickles. 

A few days later I got a phone call 

from my niece. She was just thinking 

of me because she had just made a 

batch of yellow bean mustard pickles 

from my recipe. 

The yellow bean mustard pickle 

lives for another generation.

how to learn a pop song in like 10 minutes 

and stuff like that,” she said. 

Van Zandbergen’s piece titled “This 

Is Just the Beginning” originally 

began in November of last year. 

“I realized like ‘Oh, I am going to 

university next year and it’s a new 

change in my life’ so it’s basically from 

me now going into university and 

starting what I want to do for the rest 

of my life.” 

Van Zandbergen had the special 

honour of performing her song in front 

of not only young musicians but some 

of Canada’s top composers. 

A mini recital was also held for 

musicians that were featured in 

‘Fingerprints’. 

The young composer began her love 

for piano at a young age as she was 

always curious to try but didn’t have 

access to one for a long time. 

Eventually, her step-father had a 

piano at home so she was able to start 

lessons which sparked major interest. 

Two years ago, her piano instructor 

told her about a camp that takes place 

in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. 

“After that camp meeting a bunch 

more Canadian composers, I decided I 

was going to write a song so I did that 

but it didn’t get published. I ended up 

going to provincials with it,” she said. 

The camp rotates as to where it will 

be so last year it was in Ontario before 

coming back to Western Canada. 

“I went to the camp this year and it 

just turned out that my second composition 

that I wrote got into the book,” 

explained van Zandbergen. 

A composer she met at another 

camp was the main reason behind her 

inspiration to keep writing music. 

“My favourite part would probably 

being able to meet actual composers of 

people who I performed songs at the 

music festivals and it was just really 

nice seeing them and how they teach 

and like to compose. It was a lot of 

fun.” 

She attributes her success to support 

and inspirational backing from family 

and her piano teacher. 

The 18-year-old just graduated highschool 

and hopes to pursue a 5-year 

Bachelor of Science Combined 

Education Degree at the University of 

Lethbridge which she will use to 

become a university professor.

Alix Council 

Ballot vote over cannabis retail sales 

Terri Huxley 


Council has already made an 

amendment to the Land Use Bylaw 

which adds definitions relating to 

cannabis. 

The next step they must determine is 

what types of regulations council 

wants to put in place. 

After much talk around the table, 

council agreed to let the people have a 

chance to voice their concerns or support 

in a constructive and civil 

manner by holding a referendum by 

ballot regarding retail sales of the 

plant based drug. 

Both sides of the argument were 

concerned about ridicule from the 

other so this option of a referendum 

was a reasonable way to express their 

opinion without being concerned for 

backlash. 

“Like I said, I have talked to people 

on both sides and the only thing that 

was in agreement was ‘We want a referendum, 

we want to be able to vote on 

this’,” said Coun. Ed Cole. 

The results of this ballot will be used 

to give council an indication as to what 

direction they should lean towards 

when deciding on cannabis regulations 

within the village and what level 

of compliance they wish to follow with 

upcoming legalization on October 17. 

Residents that wish to have a voice 

will ‘vote on a question by ballot under 

proper election rules on a question of 

cannabis retail sales in our community’ 

as the motion outlined. 

“I just like the idea, that for me 

anyway, that the people can at least say 

they had a voice in it and it’s not your 

garden variety type of bylaw – this is a 

hot button issue that people are very 

passionate about on both sides,” said 

Mayor Rob Fehr. 

No date has been set for the vote at 

press time. 

ATCO Franchise Agreement 

What many refer to as a ‘hidden tax 

grab’, Alix’s Franchise Fee Agreement 

with ATCO has come to council for 

decision making. 

ATCO’s franchise fee for Alix is 

solely based on natural gas use and 

associated delivery rates for the 

community. 

Two rate changes were made earlier 

this year in March and April which in 

turn decreased the overall delivery 

rates that the community is paying for. 

The ATCO Gas franchise fee is currently 

at 20 per cent and property taxes 

are included in the amount collected. 

They must be taken out of the payments 

prior to the property tax due 

date. 

Council had the option to continue to 

collect franchise fees and property 

taxes or to collect property taxes separate 

from franchise fees. 

Administration recommended the 

latter option as it provides residents 

with a more transparent look at their 

electric bill as many may not be aware 

that approximately 4.5 per cent of the 

franchise fee amount on their bill goes 

toward ATCO’s annual tax bill payable 

to the village. 

Council tabled the agreement to 

budget time deliberations as it is not a 

pressing issue for administration to 

tackle. A full review of these percentages 

will be conducted to make an 

informed decision. 

Land Use Bylaw Amendment 

Alix council allowed for a public 

hearing on Wed. Aug. 15 prior to the 

regular council meeting to discuss 

amendments to proposed Land Use 

Bylaw 435/18. 

The changes to this bylaw were put 

in motion by recent changes to the 

Municipal Government Act (MGA) and 

primarily dealt with how a development 

permit is handled and what 

timeframes are set for processing such 

permits. 

Other changes were made to the subdivision 

application process again to 

handle timeframes and processing. 

Any time there is an amendment to a 

land use bylaw, the MGA requires a 

public hearing. 

In the end, no written or verbal submissions 

were received. 

Council later passed second and 

third readings of the bylaw during the 

regular council meeting. 

Alix Rodeo entered its fourth year on Aug. 18 - 19. Different age groups were categorized 

for some events. Bull Riding, Team Roping, Bareback, Saddle Bronc, Barrel Racing and 

Junior Steer Riding were on the list of competitions but Ladies Cow Riding became a big 

hit with the crowd overall. Katy Praught of Stony Plain makes a hard landing after her cow 

ride. She had no score as she did not surpass eight seconds. ECA Review/T.Huxley

Ottawa’s contradictory climate 

policy just wastes money 

Billions of dollars in spending announcements allow politicians to burnish their green credentials. 

But they don’t get the job done. 

Troy Media

“Around the world, businesses, governments 

and experts agree that 

carbon pricing is the cheapest and 

most efficient way to cut carbon pollution,” 

Catherine McKenna, Canada’s 

environment and climate change minister, 

recently tweeted. 

If what she says is true, it means all 

other anti-carbon strategies - including 

regulations and subsidies - are unnecessarily 

expensive and inefficient. 

Yet just a few months earlier, when 

McKenna announced $100 million in 

green subsidies to Ontario households 

and businesses, she said that the 

spending “pays for itself by saving 

money, reducing carbon pollution and 

making our homes and businesses 

more comfortable and affordable.” 

Has her position changed or does she 

still believe Ottawa’s subsidy programs 

and corporate welfare remain an efficient 

use of tax dollars that will 

somehow pay for itself? 

McKenna’s $100 million supported 

the previous Ontario government’s climate 

spending program. 

However, the evidence shows us that 

the billions the Ontario Liberals had 

slated for climate spending was a massive 

waste. 

A recent essay by University of 

Calgary economist Trevor Tombe estimated 

that money spent to “improve 

energy efficiency in multi-tenant residential 

buildings” was 29 times more 

expensive, per tonne of emissions 

reduced, than cap and trade. 

And “support to household adoption 

of low-carbon technology” was about 

15 times more expensive. 

It turns out that just as the budget 

doesn’t balance itself, the government’s 

green spending doesn’t pay for 

itself either. 

While Conservative Premier Doug 

Ford is sensibly axing Ontario’s climate-spending 

fund in an effort to 

drag public finances back in the right 

direction, the federal Liberal government 

is forging ahead with handouts 

to rent-seekers. 

In just the past few months, federal 

taxpayer dollars have been torched on 

everything from corporate welfare for 

farms in P.E.I., to enlarging the 

Alberta Indigenous Solar Program, to 

homeowners’ windows in New 

Brunswick, to making Ontario’s postsecondary 

campuses more energy 

efficient. 

Why does the federal government 

continue to waste billions of dollars of 

your money this way when - by 

McKenna’s admission - experts agree 

that a carbon tax is preferable? 

The answer lies in what Liberals 

view to be a problematic feature of a 

carbon tax as compared to a government 

command-and-control climate 

strategy. 

Economists prefer taxation over 

subsidies and regulations because a 

carbon tax, for example pegged at $20 

per tonne, gives people incentive to 

reduce emissions when, and only 

when, the cost of doing so is below $20 

per tonne. 

This means the private market has 

the flexibility to find the cheapest 

ways to reduce emissions, rather than 

have the government decide. 

But allowing more flexibility for the 

private sector isn’t something Liberal 

politicians can go along with. 

If households and businesses are 

allowed to make decisions for themselves, 

the collective wisdom and 

brilliance of those politicians goes 

unused. 

That’s why a heavy government 

spend-and-regulate regime is in place. 

Just as importantly, billions of dollars 

in spending announcements 

allow politicians to hold press conferences 

to burnish their green 

credentials and repeat tired slogans 

about how government spending 

improves both the economy and the 

environment. 

Such slogans ignore that the fastest 

increases in prosperity and cleanliness 

in human history were supported 

by private industry, not corporate welfare 

and green subsidies. 

The federal Liberals remain big 

supporters of the carbon tax, of 

course. But that has nothing to do 

with taxes being cheaper and more 

efficient than regulations and 

subsidies. 

They just like the carbon tax 

because it’s a tax. And they will find 

ways to spend it even if the policy evidence 

says it’s a costly mistake.
