Cannabis industry planting roots in Trochu 

Terri Huxley 

ECA Review 

A B.C. based medical cannabis company 

has chosen Trochu as its next 

place to set up shop. 

Kannaba Agritech Corp of 

Vancouver, B.C., has made the decision 

to invest in the town of just over 1,000 

people. 

An open house held on Oct. 4 in 

Trochu had three out of five executives 

of the company come and discuss the 

details of the facility with residents. 

Approximately 115 people were in 

attendance with a mostly mutual 

approval of the project as it has a large 

potential for economic growth. 

“There were lots of great questions 

asked and answered,” said Trochu 

Mayor Barry Kletke. 

Trochu was a viable candidate compared 

to other centres such as Carbon, 

Beiseker, Mountain View County, or 

Kelowna because they already had 

land zoned for discretionary use. 

“They chose Trochu because they 

could move it along faster than they 

could with other areas,” said Kletke. 

It is expected that approximately 50 

local job positions will be created 

within the first year and will move up 

 

Council declines 

increase to 

remuneration 

Emily Wheller 


Castor town councillors 

moved that monthly salaries 

and per diems remain 

the same for the upcoming 

year. This decision was 

made at the organizational 

meeting held prior to the 

regular meeting on Oct 22. 

The salaries and per 

diems were last changed in 

2015. Mayor, deputy mayor 

and councillors receive a 

monthly honourarium of 

$650, $500, and $450 

respectively. 

This is in line with the 

average payment which is 

documented in a survey of 

remuneration rates from 

September 2017. 

However, council did 

move to increase the 

mileage paid per kilometre 

to reflect the rate that is set 

by the Canadian 

to 750 jobs once the facility is fully 

functionable. 

“In year four when they are completely 

ramped up, they are looking at 

another 50 acres which will mean 750 

more jobs,” said Kletke. 

The proposed site will be located on 

the east end of town near the elevator 

and train tracks, behind the meat processing 

plant as that land is properly 

zoned. 

The company is unsure if they will 

pursue an entirely new building or buy 

one that already exists nearby. 

Initial estimates have the building at 

about 50,000 square feet of space, one 

job per thousand square feet for the 

first year. 

There are also plans to possibly grow 

the facility from 50,000 square feet to 

750,000 within three or four years of 

operation. 

“The community itself is totally prepared 

for it,” Kletke continued. 

The company must first go through 

the Subdivision and Development 

Appeal Board as part of the government 

process to acquire a development 

permit. 

If Kannaba Agritech Corp is not able 

to get the existing building before 

winter strikes, they want to start

“They are hoping to get in ASAP so 

hopefully in November here if they can 

secure their building or get the 

building that’s existing, they want to 

be in right away. They want to be up 

and running by the end of January,” 

said Kletke. 

Security measures will be tight. 

An eight foot high fence with barbed 

wire will be stationed around the 

perimeter as well as security cameras 

covering inside and out, unauthorized 

access sensors, one access gate with 

keypad entry, and fingerprint scanner 

among other measures. 

The town should see a large economic 

boost once the facility is in place 

as Kannaba intends to make itself a 

part of the community by forming long 

term partnerships with local suppliers, 

as well as with the community itself by 

taking an active role in social and educational 

programs. 

“I’ve been on council since 2002 and 

this is probably the first time that I 

have really got excited about potential 

growth within the community. 

“I think the whole community is 

excited for it. It’s going to be a good 

boost for us and the other thing is that 

Council views first draft of 2019 budget 

Emily Wheller 


Chief Administrative 

Officer, Debra Moffatt 

shared administrations 

first draft of the 2019 budget 

during a regular meeting 

on Oct 18. 

The drafted budget saw a 

total of $4,492,870, there is 

no proposed capital budget 

for 2019 as the majority of 

Forestburg’s reserves and 

grants will be utilized 

 

during phase one of the residential 

subdivision located 

on SE 3-42-15 W4M. 

Administration did not 

show this as a capital 

project due to the fact that a 

majority of the costs are 

related to development of 

the land for resale 

purposes. 

“This is really easy to 

read,” said Coun. Elaine 

Fossen regarding the first 

draft as it was presented in 

a different format than that

government. 

The current rate, found on 

the official Canadian government 

website, is $0.55. 

This is an increase from 

council’s previous reimbursement 

of $0.50. 

Natural gas controller 

The town’s south natural 

gas system will be receiving 

a new controller as per 

council’s decision. This will 

cost approximately $6,000 to 

$8,000 and is not in the 

budget. 

“We can’t run without it,” 

said Mayor Richard Elhard. 

The controller is a vital 

piece to the town’s natural 

gas system. This new controller 

will be more efficient 

and minimize gas that 

escapes the system. 

“I have done everything I 

can to try and fix it,” said 

Assistant Foreman Weston 

Gibson. 

of previous budgets. 

CAO Moffatt explained 

that the budget was based 

off a 50 per cent cut of 

Municipal Sustainability 

Initiative (MSI) funding. 

This was recommended 

by Alberta Urban 

Municipalities Association 

president Barry Morishita. 

“I will definitely re-work 

this,” said CAO Moffatt, “By 

the end of the year, I hope to 

have this fleshed out.” 

“This is just information 

at this point in time,” said 

CAO Moffatt, “It will be 

coming back regularly until 

the end of the year. 

Mayor Blaise Young 

would like to see $10,000 put 

towards playground 

reserves for upcoming 

years.

Stacey Strilchuk, executive

The Camrose PCN is a 

network of healthcare practitioners 

that provide 

primary care to over 34,000 

individuals in the local communities 

including Bashaw, 

Camrose, Daysland,

“This is person-centered

there is going to be a bunch of good, 

well paying jobs too,” concluded the 

Mayor. 

Local labour will be used 

throughout the process from the initial 

stages of getting the land ready for 

construction, engineering, design, to 

the cultivation, maintenance, upkeep, 

harvesting of the crops, the construction 

of a laboratory and extraction 

facility, and the processing of the crop. 

Jobs created by partnerships will 

produce positive impact on local taxation 

revenues through the employees’ 

income taxes. It is reasonable to 

assume that a considerable percentage 

of those new jobs will be filled by 

people currently unemployed.

High school student enjoys trip to Japan 

Emily Wheller 


Town of Hanna council welcomed 

high-school student Beck Halter to 

their Oct. 9 regular council meeting to 

share his experiences as part of the 

Japanese Student Exchange Program. 

On Aug. 7 Halter travelled to 

 

Hanna’s sister town, Wake, Japan and 

returned on Aug 27. 

“I had an amazing time, I’ll 

remember it forever,” said Halter. 

During Halter’s visit to Japan he 

stayed with five host families and got 

to participate in many exciting experiences 

including driving laps on a 

racetrack, visiting the Tokyo Sky Tree

Doctor recruitment a priority 

Lisa Bye 


Mayor Doug Irving and 

Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO)Sandy Otto 

reported to Hardisty 

council on the conference 

call with Dr. Dan 

Edgcumbe the medical 

director for Central 

Alberta and Marlene 

Young the Medical Affairs 

Director in charge of 

recruitment to discuss getting 

another doctor for 

Hardisty at their regular 

Oct. 23 meeting. 

Hardisty currently has 

one doctor. 

CAO Otto stressed in the 

conference call that not only 

is it of the utmost importance 

for the residents of 

Hardisty and surrounding 

area to have access to medical 

care when needed. 

With all the economic 

activity involved in the oil 

and gas industry throughout 

the Hardisty area the population

Big Valley council 

Considering increases 

in water and sewer 

Linda Stillinger 


The first draft of the 2019 operating 

budget was reviewed by council. 

Though no increase to the property 

tax mill rate is expected for the 

coming year, a review of the water and 

sewer flat fee rates revealed recommended 

increases to these accounts. 

According to CAO Michelle White’s 

report, at the current rate the water 

account will end the year with a deficit 

of $25,430. 

The recommended increase of $3 per 

month per utility account will bring 

that deficit down to $18,230. 

While the amount collected for the 

sewer system has, up to now, closely 

matched the cost of operations, 

according to reports from Big Valley’s 

public works department, some valves 

between lagoon cells will need work, a 

significant build-up of cattails has 

developed around one of the cells and 

the lagoon has not been de-sludged in 

almost two decades. 

A recommended increase of $2 per 

month to the flat rate fee toward the 

sewer account would facilitate setting 

funds aside to deal with some of these 

problems and ensure that the sewer 

system continues to operate efficiently 

in the years to come. 

The recommended increases will 

result in a revenue increase of $7,200 to 

the water account and $4,800 to the 

sewer account. 

Council will consider these 

increases with the second draft of the 

operating budget at the November 

council meeting. 

Cannabis retail sales 

Bylaw 839, the amendment to Land 

Use Bylaw 765 addressing cannabis 

retail sales passed third reading. 

No written or verbal submissions 

were received at the public hearing. 

Organizational meeting 

Sandra Schell was acclaimed as 

mayor for a second term at Big Valley’s 

Oct. 25 organizational meeting. 

Councillor 

Harry Nibourg 

was voted in to 

serve as deputy 

mayor. 

Council 

appointments to 

the various board 

and committees 

were renewed for 

another year. 

Remuneration, 

meeting and 

travel allowances 

were reviewed 

with council 

electing to maintain 

current 

compensation 

levels. 

The annual fee 

for all councillors 

is $1,250. The full 

day rate (over 

four hours) for 

meeting attendance 

is $90. the 

half day rate (up 

to four hours) is 

$60. and mileage 

reimbursement is 

at $.50 per 

kilometre.

meeting 

was followed by 

the regular 

monthly meeting. 

increase, and it is imperative 

that the emergency 

department remain open 

and that there be a doctor on 

call at all times. 

Hardisty’s population is 

around 554 people but that 

number can change quickly 

when an influx of oilfield 

employees are working in 

the area. 

If all the hotels, motels, 

rental accommodations, private 

room accommodations 

and campgrounds in and out 

of town are full this can 

easily add over 850 or more 

people to the town, not to 

mention all the people 

driving in from neighbouring 

towns to work. 

CAO Otto and Mayor 

Irving were assured that 

while Hardisty is under 

staffed there would be 

locum doctors coming to 

provide coverage until the 

end of the year and then the 

issue will be reviewed. 

Procedural Bylaw 

Council will be reviewing 

the town of Hardisty’s 

Procedural Bylaw for 

amendments as some of the 

items in the bylaw have now 

been dealt with in the

Council reports 

Council requested CAO 

Otto to set up a meeting 

with Gibson Energy to discuss 

all the trailers that are

other issues.

New relabeled recycling 

bins have been placed

to put their clean recycled 

items in the proper bins. 

“As long as people read

Cannabis consumption 

The cannabis consumption bylaw 

for the town of Hanna has passed third 

reading with amendments. 

The approved bylaw reads that individuals 

must not smoke, vape or 

consume what appears to be cannabis 

on any public place within the town 

limits. 

Although this does not apply to a 

person who is entitled to medically 

possess cannabis.These individuals 

must produce a copy of the medical 

document if requested by an officer.

any restrictions on medical cannabis,”

Host of critters in Hughenden classrooms 

by Zac Rochon, Kimberly Hoyt 

At Hughenden Public School (HPS) 

teacher, Susan Reynolds has always 

kept animals in her room to provide 

students with the chance to connect 

and learn with the animals. 

The current host of critters, a corn 

snake, a tortoise, two bearded dragons 

and several fish have been given funny 

names like Snaky for the snake and 

Tort for the tortoise. 

Ms. Reynolds encourages students to 

take the animals out of their enclosures, 

to feed them and interact with 

them, even to carry them around the 

school to show others. 

“I keep animals in the classroom as 

they provide important connections 

for learning and help to nurture 

empathy in everyone,’’ said Reynolds. 

Students think it is a great idea for 

Ms. Reynolds to keep the animals in

the school because it adds a unique 

part to the school experience, and they 

help provide students with great 

learning they wouldn’t otherwise 

experience. 

Students who are new to the school 

often take time in their mornings to 

visit the Science classroom where the 

animals are kept and some students 

take pride in volunteering to help 

Reynolds with their care and feeding. 

Reynolds also encourages the animals 

and students to share the 

classroom during instructional time 

whenever possible, and students can 

often be seen completing biology work 

with a critter on one shoulder. 

Marco, one of the two bearded 

dragon lizards, has an adventurous 

spirit and often wanders into the hall 

if there is nothing interesting for her 

to learn during class. 

Students and staff alike are learning 

to interact with the animals and help 

to care for them in and outside of 

school hours.

Back to the basics 

B. Schimke 


Sometimes it takes forever for that 

pendulum to swing back from the 

extremes and land in the middle, but, 

alas, the Alberta government’s draft 

K-4 curriculum seems to have re-found 

that practical middle when it comes to 

teaching math. 

In today’s digital-driven job market, 

math, science and, of course, reading 

are absolutely critical. We’ve done well 

at sustaining our reading and science 

rankings worldwide, but the same 

cannot be said for math. 

The Organization for Economic 

Co-operation and Development’s 

(OECD) Programme for International 

Student Assessment (PISA) triennially 

measures 15-year olds in 72 countries 

on math, science and reading. In 2012, 

Canada ranked seventh in math, by 

2015 its ranking fell to tenth and when 

the 2018 rankings are reported, it is 

anticipated Canada’s ranking will fall 

again. 

“ This draft curriculum 

was developed with more 

collaboration and input 

from stakeholders and the 

public than has ever been 

done previously on a 

curriculum rewrite. 

Employers have been demanding 

higher math skills for years and often 

have had no choice but to hire people 

from other countries to fill highpaying 

technical positions. 

Concerned parents, who could afford 

the expense, have taken to hiring 

tutors to give their children math success 

and many elementary educators 

lament the de-emphasis on memorizing 

basic math facts. 

That’s all about to change. 

David Eggen, Minister of Education, 

announced that the new K-4 curriculum 

will place more emphasis on rote 

“

EVIEW

36 pt 

V I E W P O I N T S 

learning (memorization technique 

based on repetition) and traditional 

calculation methods, such as stacking 

numbers for addition and subtraction. 

Children will be expected to memorize 

both timetables and addition and 

subtraction numbers. Additionally, 

students in grade one will be introduced 

to basic fractions, and more 

emphasis will be given to working with 

money and manipulating two- and 

three-dimensional objects. 

The provincial government is also 

proposing that student teachers be 

required to take more math courses 

before earning a teaching degree, 

regardless of what specialty they have 

chosen. 

A grasp of basic number facts, 

geometry and algebraic reasoning is 

shown to improve a person’s ability to 

solve problems and develop abstract 

thinking. 

These are absolute skills necessary 

if today’s youth are going to compete 

successfully in tomorrow’s economy. 

The country that scores number one 

in math competency and collaborative 

problem solving is Singapore. 

They use traditional pedagogy-- 

teachers lead the class; math focuses 

on a narrower but deeper curriculum; 

struggling kids get compulsory extra 

sessions; teachers receive 100 hours of 

designated training each year to sustain 

competency and consistency; 

public funds are spent on research; 

and new strategies are tested, monitored 

and evaluated before being 

rolled out to the whole system. 

Even better, Singaporean students 

are found to be happy suggesting 

structure does bring a sense of security 

for children. 

It is encouraging to see our provincial 

government’s focus on these 

critical math building blocks. But they 

didn’t do it alone. This draft curriculum 

was developed with more 

collaboration and input from stakeholders 

and the public than has ever 

been done previously on a curriculum 

rewrite. 

The digital economy is new, but the 

math skills now being promoted have 

always been important to every generation 

since the industrial revolution. 

In math, as in reading, if you don’t 

get the basics at each step, you’re forever 

behind and eventually lost.

Nana’s Blog 

Far too many 

people who believe 

by Lois Perepelitz 

Recently there has been a post on 

Facebook telling us not to wear a 

poppy because it offends some people. 

Maybe I live under a rock or something 

because I have not heard about 

anyone complaining about our poppy 

tradition. 

Then I realized that 

the only place I did hear 

about it was on these 

Facebook posts. 

That is when I knew it 

was just another cyber 

troublemaker post. 

These troublemakers 

like to take a whisper or 

a grain of truth, blow it 

up and shout it across 

the country using social 

Perepelitz 

media; so now what was just a whisper 

that would likely have died a natural 

death is now a healthy shout that is 

being heard across the country. 

That grain of truth is now something 

totally different than what it started 

out to be. 

They do it because they want to get 

people to react to the message. 

They are hoping people will get all 

worked up about the message and 

write angry comments then spread it 

around by sharing the post. 

This will get people angry at whoever 

the message was talking about. 

It reminds me of how the school 

bully gets his bullying done. 

It also makes me very glad that 

Hitler did not have this technology 

available to him. 

One of the biggest reasons they are 

JoYCe Webster 

Publisher/Editor 

publisher@ECAreview.com 

BoNNY Williams 

Circulation Manager 

so successful at this is because there 

are still far too many people who 

believe everything they see on 

Facebook. 

They think if it is on Facebook it 

must be true. Wrong! 

Anybody can put anything they 

want on Facebook or social media. 

People need to start checking 

things out before hitting that share 

button. 

The Snopes website is a good 

place to start. Another option is 

searching the well-established 

news sites. 

When people stop spreading the 

troublemaker’s message he loses 

his weapon; his power to make 

trouble. 

He can’t spread his message of 

hate unless we help him. So please stop 

helping him. 

Okay, getting back to that poppy 

message; even if it does offend 

someone, wearing it to annoy them is 

not a good reason to wear the poppy. 

We wear the poppy to honour and 

remember the men and women who 

fought for our freedom. 

That same freedom the bully uses 

when he puts whatever he wants on 

Facebook, the freedom we use when we 

worship at the Church of our choice, 

the freedom we use to vote in the government 

of our choice, the freedom we 

use to live our lives every day. 

We wear it to remember the blood 

that was shed to give us that freedom. 

Please wear your poppy to honour 

these people, to remember them and to 

thank them.

Deserving recipients honoured at Stettler Awards Gala 

Terri Huxley 


On Thurs. Oct. 25, the 

Stettler Community Hall 

was packed with business 

leaders, sponsors, supporters, 

award winners, 

family, and friends for the 

Stettler Business & 

Citizenship Awards Gala 

that took place. 

Each presenting sponsor 

had positive things to say 

about the business or individual 

they were giving the 

award to with approximately 

three to five minute 

speeches to prove it. 

Burn ‘N’ Mahn, a 

Canadian style Dueling 

Pianos entertained the 

remaining audience. 

Thirteen awards were 

given during the event. 

Consumers Choice 

Award was an award that 

can be given to any business 

or individual for 

practically any reason as 

explained during the event. 

This was its first year in 

action. The choice came 

down to two businesses 

vying for the title of 

Consumers Choice; The 

Fresh Wife or Today’s 

Sweet Cakery. 

The new start-up company 

The Fresh Wife won 

for their unique company 

style and fresh products to 

go with it. 

New Business of the Year 

Award was given to Stettler 

I.D.A for showing a successful 

opening and 

operation in their first year 

and demonstrating a desire 

for growth and prosperity 

within the Stettler 

community. 

Little Keepsakes won 

Small Business of the Year. 

The successful private 

enterprise showed what it 

takes to exemplify an outstanding 

spirit and 

commitment to the Stettler 

community with two years 

or more running within the 

community. 

Business of the Year 

Award went to the Stettler 

Funeral Home and 

Crematorium for their dedicated 

and humble service 

during difficult times while 

also exemplifying outstanding 

spirit and 

commitment to the Stettler 

community. 

Mya Prehn was awarded 

the honour of Youth Citizen 

of the Year award for her 

outstanding dedication and 

contribution to the welfare 

or betterment of an individual, 

service, not for 

profit group and/or the 

community in an unpaid 

position leaving a positive 

impact. 

Citizens of the Year are 

known to be a source of 

inspiration to others which 

Prehn has shown so well. 

Female Citizen of the 

Year went to Winnie 

Bissett, Executive Director 

of the Heartland Youth 

Centre. Her caring and 

motivating nature towards 

young women has been a 

highlight as well as her 

activeness as an individual. 

The requirements of 

becoming a Citizen of the 

Year is outlined as a person 

who “Recognizes the outstanding 

dedication and 

contribution to the welfare 

or betterment of an individual, 

service, not for 

profit group and/or the 

community in an unpaid 

position leaving a positive 

impact. 

Citizens of the Year are a 

source of inspiration to 

others. Recipients must be a 

resident of the Town or 

County of Stettler.” 

Male Citizen of the Year 

went to Doug McKay. His 

continuous passion for 

music has spread 

throughout the community 

through his unwavering 

dedication and volunteerism 

in many different 

facets. 

The Consignment 

Closet won the Eco 

Excellence Award for their 

many contributions to the 

planet and community 

alike. 

Next, the Learning in the 

Workplace Award went to 

Generations RV. The innovation 

and continuous 

growth of their business 

environment scored them 

the award. 

Rhonda McCulloch 

Danceology won the 

Heritage Award because 

they have been in the community 

for an extended 

number of years showcasing 

dependability and 

who continues to strive to 

be active in and serve the 

local community well. 

Two Way Oilfield 

Services Ltd. secured a seat 

at the table by winning the 

Product and Innovation 

Award for their knack of 

creating parts when none 

are available. 

They continually create 

value through the development 

or application of 

products, processes, services, 

or technologies to be 

prominent in their industry 

and continuously train 

employees to meet their 

high standards. 

The crowd gave a 

standing ovation to three 

award winners. 

Stettler Regional Fire 

Department was by far 

given the loudest and 

proudest one of all. 

As the fire department 

continually serves the community 

so selflessly as 

volunteers from the area, 

they were selected for the 

Community Service Award. 

They best demonstrated 

outstanding commitment to 

community involvement 

through partner ships, 

volunteerism, or other 

means of contribution to 

the local community. 

Extreme Pita won the 

Customer Service Award 

for going above and beyond 

to provide their customers 

with outstanding service in 

their everyday operations 

and shows leadership in 

setting high service standards 

for the Stettler area.

event can be found on our

Kneehill County 

Trident seeking property tax relief 

Terri Huxley 


Trident, a natural gas 

company with a rich history 

in Kneehill County, came to 

council in search of property 

tax relief as they 

continue to lose revenue. 

The company spends $1.6 

million a year in property 

taxes to the county. 

They came to Kneehill 

County Chambers as a delegation 

on Tues. Oct. 23 and 

requested a 20 per cent 

decrease in property taxes 

with the promise of brighter 

days ahead where this tax 

reduction will no longer be 

needed. 

Since the company’s 

inception, they have 

invested over $100 million in 

capital investment with 183 

wells currently producing in 

the area. 

It was a grim subject as 

Chief Executive Officer 

(CEO) Alan Withey and 

Chief Operating Officer 

(COO) Rob Will presented, 

accompanied by a slideshow 

to show the depths of their 

problems. 

Low gas prices, declining 

production base, operating 

costs like field services, and 

property tax rates, things 

they have no control over, 

have all taken a hit to the 

Calgary based business. 

Property taxes and lease 

costs have become the most 

significant operating costs 

for Trident. 

In Kneehill County, property 

tax in 2014 was set at 5.6 

per cent and has since 

increased to 17.3 per cent in 

2018. 

Lease agreements saw 

similar rises from seven per 

cent to 17.3 per cent in 2018. 

Many costs like labour 

and capital investment in 

the area has since been 

reduced to keep up with all 

of these demands. 

After consideration, 

council chose not to give 

them the tax break as there 

was only eight days left until 

the county will be sending 

out tax notices*. 

Council made a motion to 

receive the presentation as 

information and directed 

administration to respond to 

their request in writing to 

say Kneehill County will not 

provide tax relief for the 

company as a courtesy. 

Hesketh Hall request 

Council approved the 

request from the Hesketh 

Hall to become an additional 

name insured under county 

insurance. 

RMA Insurance, the 

county’s insurance provider, 

offers coverage for small 

community groups as an 

Additional Named Insured 

(ANI). 

Hesketh Hall has 

requested to have access to 

this coverage. 

An initial application has 

been completed and a quote 

has been provided by RMA. 

The Swalwell Hall has 

also requested and 

subsequently received this 

type of insurance for their 

hall. 

This ANI option allows 

small community groups 

access to the same group 

pricing and broad coverage 

that Kneehill County has by 

being a member of RMA 

Insurance. 

Mike Morton, Director of 

Corporate Services, 

explained that the risk to 

the county was minimal and 

there has yet to be any 

increased liability because 

of something like this. 

Premiums would be paid 

by Hesketh Hall. The cost to 

the county includes a small 

amount of administrative 

time communicating 

between the community 

group and RMA insurance 

which will take little time. 

The acceptance of this 

request would also help 

their strategic plan as it 

would promote safe and 

viable communities within 

the borders of Kneehill. 

Council moved to approve 

the request. 

Community Grant 

funding chosen 

The second application 

deadline for the Community 

Grants to Non-Profit 

Organizations in 2018 was 

on Oct. 3, 2018. The total 

dollar amount requested for 

Round Two was listed at 

$71,900. 

The Prairie Christian 

Academy (PCA) and the 

Lions Club of Trochu 

requested over $5,000. Both 

presented a delegation to 

council in regards to the 

extensive funding. 

Council underwent a process 

to determine which 

community organizations 

and clubs would receive 

requested funding for projects, 

renovations, and other 

community centred ideas. 

Council approved the 

requests of the Three Hills 

Junior B Hockey Club, 

Kneehill Minor Hockey 

Association, Kneehill Pond 

Hockey Association, Carbon 

& District Ag Society and 

Curling Club and the Acme 

Church of God (Seventh 

Day). 

The Junior B Hockey Club 

will use their $4,500 in funds 

for equipment replacements 

such as helmets, jerseys, and 

socks while the Kneehill 

Minor Hockey Association 

will use their $4,500 for a 

rink divider as required by 

Hockey Canada’s new program 

changes. 

The Kneehill Pond 

Hockey Association will use 

their contributed amount of 

$1,000 for new jerseys for 

four different age groups 

ranging from five to 18 years 

old. 

Carbon’s Ag Society and 

Curling Club will be 

replacing their lower lobby 

chairs, 40 all together for 

$900. 

The Acme Church of God 

(Seventh Day) requested 

$1,000 for the 100 year old 

church interior renovations 

including painting, flooring 

and a screen projector to 

modernize their services. 

The pay out will be 

$11,900 in total. 

County wide fire strategy 

At the Oct. 15, 2018 

Committee of the Whole 

(COW) meeting, Council 

made a few recommendations 

about fire 

strategy. 

Councillor 

Debbie Penner 

made a recommendation 

to 

direct administration 

to 

schedule meetings 

with 

Kneehill County’s 

Urban Council’s 

one-on-one, discussing 

the best 

possible fire services 

available to 

residents and to 

ensure they are 

protected. 

They would 

also discuss the 

concerns that 

urban partners 

have with fire to 

be completed by 

Jan. 1, 2019. 

Councillor 

Kenneth King 

also made a recommendation 

to 

write to the 

councils of the 

towns and villages, 

suggesting that 

they meet 

together as they 

outline the 

future vision of 

rural fire protection 

within 

the area. 

Since COW 

meetings are simply for discussion 

and more time to 

understand a topic, council 

came up with these recommendations 

that could not 

be implemented until the 

regular council meeting. 

Council carried a final 

motion to have administration 

write to all towns and

County of Paintearth 

Establishing councillor duties 

Terri Huxley 


The County of Paintearth 

held their annual 

organizational 

meeting on Wed. 

Oct. 24, to determine 

roles 

councillors would 

play and who 

would attend 

which meetings. 

This meeting is 

held each year in 

October or early 

November as part 

of the Municipal 

Government Act 

cycle. 

“It is a statutory 

requirement 

to hold these 

meetings every 

year and I think 

the school of 

thought behind 

that is councillors 

will serve on different 

committees 

in their four year 

term,” said Chief 

Administrative 

Officer (CAO) 

Michael Simpson. 

“When they are 

serving on these 

committees, some 

might be really 

passionate about 

some, less passionate 

about 

others. 

“It’s also a 

chance in that 

they perhaps 

would want to 

change committees 

with another 

member for something 

else that 

they are interested 

in,” 

concluded 

Simpson. 

Stan 

Shulmeister was 

selected as reeve 

for a second time 

and the deputy 

reeve title also 

went back to Doreen 

Blumhagen. 

Councillors decided

Farmers have been busy in the fields for over two weeks now as weather forecasts have been 

favourable. 

ECA Review/ T.Huxley 

Harvest season finally 

coming to an end 

Terri Huxley 


Most farmers are breathing a sigh of 

relief as weather has changed for the 

better over the past two weeks. 

As reported by the Provincial 

Government on Oct. 16, very small 

quantities of harvest progress was 

achieved as frost was prevalent. 

Many who saw a small window of 

opportunity to continue combining 

were taking off tough or damp crops 

that kept the aeration bins busy. 

Over 95 per cent of peas are in the 

bin with the exception of Peace Region 

which has only 66.9 per cent as cold 

and snow kept most producers out of 

their fields. 

However, this past week saw a large 

jump in numbers as 46.7 per cent of 

crops harvested in Alberta moved up 

to 78 per cent. 

Region 2, the region that covers 

from Rimbey to Airdrie to Coronation 

to Oyen, reported 75 per cent of crops 

are off the ground as of Tues. Oct. 23. 

Recent higher temperatures and 

warm winds helped aid farmers in 

their harvest, allowing them time to 

get into the fields. 

The fields that were previously flattened 

by snow are proving to be 

difficult to pick up and are slowing 

down machines. 

TK Ranch 

Custom Meat Processing 

Located south of Coronation, AB 

Canola is on par with the major 

crops at 73 per cent harvested and 18 

per cent swathed. Peas are essentially 

harvested. 

Fall seeded crops are rated at 35 per 

cent fair and 63 per cent good or better. 

Surface soil moisture rated as fair is 

at 14 per cent, good ratings are 60 per 

cent, and excellent ratings are 24 per 

cent, with two per cent rated as 

excessive. 

Subsurface soil moisture rated poor 

is 11 per cent, fair at 23 per cent, good 

ratings at 52 per cent, and excellent 

ratings are 14 per cent. 

Livestock producers are happy to be 

able to finally turn cattle into stubble 

fields to augment their feed supply. 

The moisture received in September 

and early October is now filtering 

down to a sub-surface level and ratings 

of good have increased four 

percentage points. 

Fewer committees 

Cont’d from Pg 11 

“Everyone gets a chance to get their 

fingers in all these different areas of 

how municipalities operate and 

interact with the ratepayers, different 

community groups and organizations,” 

said Simpson. 

“There is certain boards that, for 

example the hospital board or the 

seniors housing board and things like 

that, they [councillors] would learn 

how those things operate and it will 

enhance their ability to perform as an 

elected official,” Simpson added. 

The number of committees has been 

reduced from the previous list. 

In fall of 2017 there were 66 active 

committees and appointments while at 

the end of this year’s meeting, there 

were 50 committees and appointments 

as some boards closed after inactivity 

or council felt their presence was not 

needed in that specific group. 

All councillors as well as two county 

members at large were appointed to 

the Agriculture Service Board. The 

two county member at large positions 

are still needing to be filled. 

The Fire Intermunicipal Committee 

will have Deputy Reeve Blumhagen, 

Coun. Dale Norton, Reeve 

Schulmeister, and Coun. Maurice 

Wiart sit on the committee. 

The Mine Committee will be made 

up of Deputy Reeve Blumhagen, Coun. 

George Glazier and Reeve 

Schulmeister. 

Coun. Diane Elliott, Glazier, Reeve 

Schulmeister, Wiart and Paintearth 

County Development Officer Todd 

Pawsey will sit on the Municipal 

Planning Commission, commonly 

known as MPC. 

All councillors 

are sitting on the 

Municipal 

Planning 

Committee. This 

committee also 

focuses on the 

relationship 

building of 

Individual

and Schulmeister 

will be working 

on Halkirk’s 

while the Rural 

IDPs and ICFs 

18104AA0 

will be handled by Glazier, 

Schulmeister and Pawsey. 

The Safety Program & Risk Control 

Committee will be made up of Elliott, 

Glazier, Coun. Tyrrill Hewitt, Chief 

Administrative Officer (CAO) Michael 

Simpson, Assistant CAO Brenda Hepp, 

Director of Corporate Services Roth, 

Director of Public Works Cooke, 

Director of Environmental Services 

Cosens, Development & Community 

Services Officer Pawsey and Safety 

Coordinator Hildreth. 

The Subdivision and Development 

Appeal Board will have Norton, 

Walter Pickles, Loren Rodvang, Terry 

Hepp, Gordon Wakefield, and a 

secretary. 

Lastly, the Weed & Pesticide Appeal 

Board will also have Walter Pickles, 

Loren Rodvang, Gordon Wakefield, 

Larry Weber and one County member 

to be appointed. 

A number of council appointments 

were also made. 

Some of note include the Alberta 

Rural Transportation Committee, the 

Battle River Watershed Alliance, 

BREOC Committee, Canadian 

Badlands Tourism Association, Castor 

Housing Authority, Coronation & 

District Bus Society, East Central 

Ambulance Association, Parkland 

Regional Library Board and the 

Shirley McClellan Regional Water 

Services Commission. 

“In the end, council as a whole was 

satisfied with the results of the 

meeting and I think they will continue 

to work together well as they have in 

the past,” concluded Simpson.

Castor Fire Hall receives $50,000 

Terri Huxley 


Castor Firefighters will 

soon be seeing their once 

cramped fire hall turn into a 

larger facility dedicated to 

the force thanks to a $50,000 

cheque donated by the 

County of Paintearth. 

Members of the fire 

department came to a 

council meeting on Oct. 16 

as a delegation asking for 

some financial backing for 

the project, specifically 

Phase 1. 

Phase 1 focuses on a 20 x 

75 feet of additional space 

which is already in progress. 

Phase 2 will be to add 

offices and a meeting room 

to the back side of the 

building. 

The fire department is 

hoping to start moving into 

their new hall with more 

space for equipment soon 

but a further expansion is 

required for it all to fit 

properly. 

They acquired the 

building this spring.

The money from the provincial government’s

create a plan—a road map—over the 

next two years to direct economic 

development for the Town and its

and scope, and in this particular 

case, Castor’s move to a new hall 

will add valuable years to the 

service,” Reeve Stan 

Schulmeister said. 

Council made a motion at that 

meeting to contribute an additional 

amount of $50,000 to the 

Castor Fire Department beyond 

what is annually given to support 

training and equipment 

needs. 

“We were asking for any donation 

we could receive so we’re 

more than happy,” said Castor 

Fire Chief Pat Kelly. 

The fire department is now 

seeking funds for Phase 2 of the 

project.

A life of CN trains, 

farming and sports 

John “Jock” Lawrence Boulter 

August 27, 1927 - October 23, 2018 

With great sadness we announce 

the passing of John “Jock” Lawrence 

Boulter on Oct. 23, 2018 at the Hanna 

Hospital. 

Jock was born in Acadia Valley on 

Aug. 27, 1927, the fourth child of Aaron 

and Anna Boulter. 

In the early 30’s the family moved to 

a farm north of Oyen. His school was 

2½ miles away so in good weather 

Jock would walk and in the winter a 

horse pulled him on a toboggan. 

In the late 30’s they moved to the 

Fairacres district where the family got 

their first tractor and combine. 

Jock became the janitor of the 

Fairacres School, each morning 

having to start the wood-coal pot belly 

stove and haul in the drinking water, 

earning about 75 cents per week. 

After Jock finished high school in 

Oyen, he went to work at the Peyton 

School located 10 miles south of 

Chinook. 

Many weekends Jock would walk 

that 10 miles to Chinook to attend 

dances, play hockey or baseball, 

walking back early Monday morning 

to be back at work. 

In 1947 he was hired by CN to be the 

night assistant agent at Rosedale, Ab. 

Later that year he moved to Cereal, 

Ab. to be the night assistant there, 

learning the morse code required to 

telegraph CN messages. 

It was in Cereal that he offered a 

young lady, Esther Olsen, a ride on his 

motorcycle and their 70 year romance 

started. Jock and Esther married 

June 1, 1951. 

Their married life started out in 

Jarrow, Ab. and they lived in several 

different communities over the years. 

They moved to Alsask, Sk. then to

Dec. 19, 1972. They were 

blessed with two daughters, 

Stacie on Jan. 19, 1978 and 

Darla on May 10, 1981. 

Donnie was never afraid of a 

little hard work. He spent many 

hours in the tractor working the 

land or helping out a neighbour 

when needed. 

He always found time to fit in 

a baseball or hockey game, a 

curling bonspiel, hunting in the 

fall and summer salmon fishing 

trips in BC with family and 

friends. 

Music was his first love and 

he could often be found with a 

guitar in his hands or picking

Mantario, Sk. In 1953, they moved to 

Sibbald, Ab. where Sharon, Ken and 

Judy were born in Oyen hospital. 

In 1961, they moved to Youngstown, 

Ab. and in 1965 when CN closed the 

station they moved to Marengo, Sk. 

In 1972, with another 

CN Station closure, they 

moved to Hanna where 

Jock took the position of 

Transportation Service 

rep for CN until his 

retirement in 1985. 

Jock and Esther were 

active members of all 

communities they lived 

in. Jock looked after the 

Boulter 

ice for curling and hockey 

rinks, maintained the 

ball diamonds, and they 

both drove school bus. 

Jock always had a passion for 

farming. He started out farming land 

north of Oyen, selling that and then 

purchasing land north and east of 

Hanna. In 1994, he sold all his farm 

land and went into full retirement. 

Jock purchased a patch of land just 

east of Hanna at Bonar and each year 

he planted a garden of veggies, the 

potatoes were the best ever and pumpkins 

that would weigh over 50 lbs. 

Jock and Esther made many trips to 

Las Vegas to get away from the cold 

Alberta winters. They enjoyed curling 

and playing golf. They both enjoyed 

old time music and together they 

danced many miles over the years. 

Jock was predeceased by his parents 

Anna and Aaron Boulter; two 

brothers Ralph and Fred; brothers-inlaw 

Chester, Clifford, Bud and Hank 

Olsen; and sisters-in-law Olena 

Peacock and Rosie Olsen. 

Jock was survived by and blessed 

with his loving wife Esther for over 67 

for the County 

of Stettler as the 

weed inspector, 

hauled methanol, drove the fuel 

truck for Shell, worked at GM 

changing oil and for Ledcor 

plowing snow and hauling 

gravel. 

Donnie was happy to finally 

have sons when Stacie and 

Travis were married in 2000 

and then Darla and Eric in 2002. 

He was just as proud of them as 

he was of his girls. 

There was nothing more 

important to him than his 

grandchildren. Aiden arrived 

in 2003, Ben in 2004, Brett in 

2005, Olivia in 2007 and Maya in 

2009. He looked forward to 

Johnson 

years; children Sharon (Bob) Crowe, 

Ken (Shelley) Boulter, Judy (Wayne) 

May; five grandchildren Trevor 

(Gloria) Crowe, Brooke (Cam) 

Waldbauer, Aaron (Katrina) Boulter, 

Drake May, and Katrina May; three 

great granddaughters Brittney 

Crowe, Brooklynn Boulter, and 

Grace Waldbauer; two sisters 

Joan Tullikopf and Mic Smyth- 

King, both of Three Hills; as 

well as numerous nieces, 

nephews, cousins, and many 

good friends. 

Jock was laid to rest on Oct. 

26, 2018 at a private family service 

held at the Cereal 

Cemetery. 

Friends and family are 

invited to share in a reflection 

of Jock’s life at 2 p.m. on Fri. Nov. 16,

Card of Thanks 

The family would like to thank Dr. 

Fortna for all she did for Dad. She 

went above and beyond with her support, 

honesty and compassion. 

We also want to extend our gratitude 

to all the nurses and support staff 

at the Hanna hospital, they were all 

wonderful and we can’t thank them 

enough.

Spook and Spike tournament held 

by Kirsten Smawley 

There were many fun 

activities happening at 

Theresetta during October 

including lots of fun fallthemed 

learning, the annual 

Spook and Spike Volleyball 

Tournament for the grade 5 

and 6 students, and a lot of 

fun things to help celebrate 

Halloween. 

Theresetta hosted their 

annual Spook and Spike 

tournament on Oct. 26. The 

Halloween-timed tournament 

invited grade 5 and 6 

students from Christ King 

in Stettler, Donalda and Alix 

to join for a day of triple ball. 

Triple ball is a younger 

student-geared version of 

volleyball where both teams 

get more opportunities to 

play the ball without 

depending upon successful 

serving for every rally. 

All three Theresetta 

teams ended up making it 

into a semi-final game. 

The tournament final was 

played by Donalda and 

Theresetta team #3 with 

Theresetta taking home the 

tournament title! 

The Theresetta Knights 

have been busy travelling 

and playing many volleyball 

games in the past two 

weeks. 

League play had both the 

girls grade 8/9 team and 

boys team travelling to Gus 

Wetter on Oct. 17, coming 

home victorious!

The younger grade 5 - 7 girls team 

travelled to Big Valley on Oct. 18 and 

they showed off even more improvement 

in their skills to take home the 

win. 

The younger girls team got yet 

another chance to try out their abilities, 

this time against the Coronation 

volleyball squad on Oct. 24. 

The female Knights fought hard, 

made lots of great serves and had a 

strong showing in the first set of the 

game before going on to lose in the 

third tie-breaking set. 

The Theresetta Knights have also 

been hard at work playing on multiple 

weekends including travelling to 

Killam on Oct. 19 - 20. The older team 

played their way into the semi-finals 

against Viking. They won their opportunity 

to take on the host team in the 

A final and came home with golden 

hardware after putting up scores of 25 

- 12 and 25 - 17. 

The younger Knights also put on a 

great showing on the B side of the 

tournament as they to played their 

way into a semi final against Viking. 

They too won their spot into a final, 

this one against the host school’s 

younger team, which was a great 

match up! 

They went home with second place 

and big smiles on their faces as they 

got to play so much and worked so well 

as a team.

Nikki Wiart, from Castor and 

Heather Grovet from Galahad, joined 

the students for the entire afternoon to 

share their experiences and to workshop 

some new writing pieces. 

The authors 

shared their 

experiences as 

writers before 

suggesting a 

writing prompt 

and activity to 

the students. All 

the students enjoyed 

learning from the writers
