One of the oldest existing Christian churches

The Great Bend Church of
Christ is one of the oldest
continuously existing
Christian churches in
Alberta.

Ernie McGowan was also
known for having cardigan
pockets full of candy.
Stewart Oke showed off
the little church piggy bank
that kids would donate pennies
to on their birthdays as
the congregation would sing
happy birthday to them.
Discussion about the
bank put the age of that
little plastic church at 70 or
more years old.
When Lance was minister,
he introduced the
candy bag as a birthday
perk as well.

of our 110 years of
history.
Cake and coffee was
served in the church basement
where attendees
continued to visit and reminisce
about the church’s
past.
The cake was first cut by
Myrtle Jeffrey, who celebrated
her 100th birthday
earlier this year and has
been a member of the congregation
for all these
years.
Historic photographs
graced the walls of the basement
for all to enjoy.
In 1943, the meeting place
in Ardley burned down, so
Church was held at the
Great Bend School.
In 1949, Harold Jestin
donated this land as a site to
build the church, a more
central location for our
membership.
A great deal of donated
labour erected a building,
and on Easter Sunday, April
9, 1950, the first church service
was held in it.
A teacherage was purchased
and moved to be
used for the parsonage.
When the Christian
Church in Erskine was torn
down, much of its material
was used to enlarge the parsonage
when Ralph
Whitrow was the minister.
Another addition to the
parsonage was completed in
1995.
In 2002, work on this new
church building began, with
the first worship service
being held in 2003.
Robert Simpson and
Luther Doughty served as
ministers until 1942,
donating their time.
In 1942, the church called
Frank Rempel, a student at
Alberta Bible College, who
then served the church on
weekends.
Since that time, a number
of men have served,
including Owen Still Jr.,
who helped the elders draw
up a constitution for our
church while he was here.
Many students and
instructors from Alberta
Bible College followed, to
name a few: Roscoe
Hollister, Norman Wells,
Neil Burt, Harold Murray
and Douglas Barrie.

who worked here full time
and also worked at other
jobs to augment their
income -- Alfred Scott,
Ralph Whitrow, Ken
Ferguson, Dick Scruggs,
Jim Philips, Keith Shields,
Lance Penny, and the last
full-time minister was Scott
Janzen.
Following him, it was
decided to continue our
weekly services with the
help of many dedicated
retired ministers from the
surrounding areas.
In the early life of the
church, Percy Simpson and
Roy Johnston went to the
States to attend Bible colleges
and served churches
in Canada and the States.
We have had several
young people attend Bible
College – Ernest McGowan,
Laurel and Jeanette

and René Harris.
These people have gone
on to serve in the various
churches where they chose
to live and worship.
Marjorie McGowan
served in the mission field
in Colombia.
Keith Shields grew up in
the church, went to Bible
College, has been serving
God in full-time ministry
for several years, and is currently

County of Paintearth
Valley Ski Hill board mulling over options
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
The Valley Ski Hill sent a strategic
business case document including a
feasibility study to council on Tues.
Nov. 6.
The beloved ski hill near Alliance,
Ab. has had a rocky past as numbers
continue to dwindle and the facilities
continue to age.
Two members of the Valley Ski Hill
board were in attendance at a meeting
with Flagstaff and Paintearth County
representatives to discuss this business
case.
Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
Michael Simpson told council that
Flagstaff County would like to have
the full board examine the document
to determine what should be done and
if they need help from municipalities.
The board can choose from eight different
strategies outlined in the report.
“They can use them all at once [or]
adopt some and not the others. There is
obviously some forecasted revenue and
expense scenarios in there as well so
they have a lot to think about, ” said
Simpson.
The board has indicated they would
like help but both counties did not
want to dictate how the strategic planning
process moves forward.
Instead, they would like to see the
board determine what they can handle
in terms of workload and then have the
municipalities help where needed.
Flagstaff has offered to have the ski
hill operate under the County
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
rules as well as supply communications
staff and help deal with
structural facility needs.
“For municipal contributions it
seems to be lacking any mention of any
urban contributions,” noted Coun.
Tyrrill Hewitt.
Coun. Diane Elliott mentioned that
the main reason the neighbouring villages
and towns have not been
mentioned was possibly because the
hill is situated on county land rather
than urban land.
CAO Simpson was in agreeance with
Hewitt saying “It is but it’s a fair point
to consider asking the urbans to see if
they want to contribute some of this,
certainly the structural projects.”
Deputy Reeve Doreen Blumhagen
was happy with the progress but felt
the timing of the potential changes was
unfortunate as the hill already had
their annual ski swap and season pass
event the weekend prior to the council
meeting.
“It’s unfortunate because it’s something
that we won’t be able to do this
year,” said Blumhagen.
Council made a motion to accept the
document as information until the ski
hill board is done with their decision
making.
Non-Payment tax penalties
and guidelines
Administration introduced a new
bylaw that outlines property tax penalties
and terms of payment as it was
never formally done before.
A large number of county residents
were misunderstood as the tax must be
paid in full before or on the due date
rather than making a payment and
‘dragging it out’.
The bylaw makes expectations clear
for both staff and ratepayers.
“Everything is in place but now it’s
on paper,” said Assistant CAO Brenda
Hepp.
Payments can be made at the county
administration building or deposited
in the envelope depository located at
the entrance of the building and the
due date for tax payment is June 30.
Ratepayers also have the option of
Alix Library requests safety signage
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
The Alix Library is asking council
for additional signage near the
building as the area is known to have
speedy drivers pass by.
At the regular council meeting on
Nov. 7, council mulled over the
options.
Over the past few years, there have
been many ‘close calls’ involving children
running out of the library and
vehicles passing at the intersection of
the lane way between the library and
the hotel.
The library mentioned Thursday
evenings during the fall and winter
months have been particularily the
worst times at which this situation
presents itself.
The intersection is also known to be
quite open for visibility when turning
on to Main Street and when turning
from the lane on
Main Street.
Unfortunately,
the 2018 budget
funds set aside for
signage has been
used as they
installed a new
3-way stop on
Lake Street.
The request to
have a “Slow:
Children
Crossing” sign
and a “Stop” sign
was given to
public works for
consideration
prior to the
meeting.
They felt the
extra signage in that area
would cause difficulty for
snow removal.
A sign mounted on the
back of the library deck was
their suggestion instead.
The sign would be for
information purposes only
as it does not meet Traffic
Safety Act standards and is
not enforceable under the
law.
Council made a motion to
put up a sign on the deck as
well as recommend the
library put up a
caution sign on
the inside of the
building on the
door as well.

As for Tax Installment Plan eligibility,
all taxes must be paid in full.
If there are any missed payments or
withdrawal from the tax instalment
plan, all unpaid taxes become due and
payable, and subject to penalties.
Any payments that are late from
July to the end of September will have
five per cent penalties attached to all
current taxes and arrears of taxes
where as anything due past that point
is 10 per cent.
All taxes unpaid after December 31
of the current year are deemed to be in
arrears effective January 1 of the following
year.
After reading the fine print, council
carried the bylaw.
Wild Boar Agreement
Alberta Agriculture and Forestry
have asked the county to sign an
Implementation of Wild Boar
Containment Standards Agreement
which would be effective from January
1, 2018 to December 31, 2023.
They suggest the wild boar is a pest
under Agricultural Pests Act and standards
are needed to contain the
animal.
In 2017, Administration spoke with
Perry Abremenko, Alberta
Agriculture and Forestry Inspector,
about wild boar in the county area.
It was determined they were a
hybrid pig and not considered a wild
boar.
Abremenko felt there was no issue
with the pigs escaping and would not
require fencing standards that are
being proposed by the provincial
government.
The document is not mandatory at
this time so council agreed to not sign
the document as they felt there was no
real threat to the county.
operating budget was presented
to council for its first
review.
This budget projects
$2,762,052.34 in revenue and
total expenses at
$2,596,189.07 with over
$165,000 in variance.

pump repair was required

at the William E. Hay Composite High School Remembrance Day Ceremony on Fri. Nov. 9.
The items once belonged to the reverend’s ancestors.
ECA Review/T.Huxley
Community gathers
for Remembrance Day
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Stettler’s William E. Hay Composite
High School opened up their doors to
the community as they celebrated
Remembrance Day on Friday, Nov. 9.
Dignitaries came and presented
unique yet powerful stories about the
wars and the importance of keeping
connections strong between generations
as it weakens over time.
“It’s important for our youth to take
a moment to just be reflective of the
history of our country and what people
have gone through in order to give
them the country that they live in,”
said Vice Principal Diane Enyedy.
“It’s a way of recognizing the sacrifices
people have made in spite of the
fact that most of us thankfully will
never have to experience what they
have gone through in history.”
Reverend Ross Helgeton gave a presentation
talking about his former
Junior High school teacher who served
but not without repercussions.
He suffered from
post-traumaticstress
disorder
(PTSD) and coped
in the form of
alcoholism.
Helgeton
explained how his
perception had
changed once he
understood the full
story behind the
teacher’s condition
which was known
at the time as ‘shell
shock’.
The Reverend
also carried a delicate
blanket kept
bundled together
by a worn belt. The
government issued
blanket once
belonged to his
grandfather, Fred
Peterson, who
served in World
War I.
The belt was
once worn by his
uncle, Jim
Peterson, who
wore it during his
time serving in
World War II.

The colour party consisted of members
of the Stettler Legion, current
RCMP law enforcement, and other decorated
members.
Each student, faculty member and
guest wore a poppy as well.
“Overall we were very pleased with
how it went,” said Enyedy. “It’s nice to
see all of the students from the full
complex – the two schools – come
together in remembrance.”
The student band performed an indepth
number depicting the before,
during and after aspects of the war in
song which echoed throughout the
gym and into nearby halls.
“They were really good this year –
exceptional,” said Enyedy. “The
elementary student choir always does
a fantastic job but they were definitely
very good this year as well and the
speeches definitely made you stop and
think. They were relatable and we
were really pleased with how it went.”
This year marks the 100th anniversary
since the end of the first world
war.

Stettler Town Council
Topsoil removal becomes costly for snow dump
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Melissa Robbins, Director of
Operational Services, brought topsoil
removal of the snow dump expansion
to the forefront as new issues have
arisen since it was accepted during the
Oct. 2 council meeting.
At the time, general discussion took
place regarding the nature of the sitework
and a required contingency. It
was noted that the site will be constructed
as one continuous storage
site, with a separate settlement site.
The original budget accounted for
siteworks, engineering and the topsoil
relocation for a total of $100,000 to
expand the existing snow dump area.
Northstar Trucking Ltd. won the bid
to remove and haul the topsoil for
$60,261.50 but the anticipated volume
of topsoil to be removed was nearly 2.5
times the quantity expected.
The unexpected amount requires
more time to remove the topsoil, plus
the added cost of hauling clay to provide
additional material to build the
snow dump.
This ultimately raised the cost of the
Northstar Trucking contracted work
to $90,000 which the Operational
Services Director was asking for
acceptance of.
In turn, money has been shifted
within the budget to adjust for extra
soil needed to be removed.
Robbins did note that town trucks
were used as much as possible
throughout the process to supplement
the work and reduced engineering fees
to keep the project within the $100,000
limit.
During the meeting held on Nov. 6,
Council accepted the recommendation
to approve the Snow Dump Expansion
Budget Update to account for the cost
of moving the extra materials by
increasing the approved expenditure
to Northstar Trucking Ltd.
The town still has an approximate
7,000 cubic metres to remove.
Lagoon cell desludging
As part of the 2018 Capital Budget,
the desludging of four lagoon cells is of
top priority.
Lagoon Cells A, B, C and D are
under the microscope as the sludge
continues to build and produce a
rather powerful odor.
Five bids to complete the work were
received but only one was deemed
compliant under all rules laid out for
the tender.
The budget has $350,000 allotted for
this project including the use of the
Municipal Sustainability Initiative
(MSI) funding.
American Process Group (Canada)
Ltd., the only company to comply with
all rules, gave a quote for $841,805.70.
Both council and administration
found this number to be quite high so
administration recommended they retender
by modifying the scope of work
for just one cell compared to all four as
it can be seen as ‘shopping for bids’.
They chose Cell B as it has no
sludge, whereas the others have a
large amount of sludge that was not
anticipated.
Council made the motion to not take
the single bid for $841,805.70.
Tax public auction
Lot 11, Block 40, Plan 244AE. 49th
Avenue is a house with a garage that
was recently put up for bid at the Tax
Public Auction on Thurs. Oct. 11.
No one attended and the property
was not sold.
This left council with three options:
tax forfeiture title, clear the title, or to

do nothing.
Administration recommended
council to refrain from not taking title
to the property through tax forfeiture
at this time.
No one lives on the property but the
current owner of the home is
attempting to sell it.
Upon sale, any debt owing to the
municipality would have to be paid by
the new owners.
Council made a motion to not do
anything with the property at this
time.
Taxes and penalties will continue to
accrue and remain on the municipalities’
books as a growing liability.
The municipality cannot dispose of
the property or rent, license or lease it.
This option does not allow the property
to revert to the municipality after
the 15 year time period, however, the
Town has the option of ‘Tax
Forfeiture’ at any time moving forward
provided the taxes remain in
arrears.
RCMP delegation
Phil Penny, Detachment
Commander of the Stettler RCMP,
came to council to give them an update
on things going on in and around
Stettler.

He along with Coun. Gord Lawlor
attended a crime reduction workshop
in Camrose which took place over four
days.
The commander felt there was more
value in the conversations between
detachments than the actual presentations
themselves.
“It was not what we were
expecting,” said Penny. “I don’t think
it was a complete wash.”
“It was a great place to start to give
everyone the opportunity to try new
ideas discussed with other detachments,”
Penny continued.
Both agreed that this workshop
could be useful as an annual
gathering.
Penny moved on to current issues
throughout the year that were worth
highlighting as well.
Continued work with county and
neighbouring detachments have
strengthened. Informal check stops
have been conducted with Bashaw’s
detachment where they have been
successful.
Some of the Stettler officers had the
experience of working with Fish and
Wildlife to learn more about poachers.
Hot spot target patrols have been
conducted to help narrow the focus of
attention as well.

Forgetting the promise
to never forget
B.P. Schimke
ECA Review
Every scene, every battle described
from World War I and the 40 million
soldiers and civilians killed makes it
one of the most horrific examples of
evil.
There were Armistice services
throughout Western Europe this past
weekend to commemorate the 100th
anniversary of the end of World War I.
One of the more poignant ceremonies
was at Compiegne, 40 kilometres
north of Paris, the site where Germany
officially surrendered to the Allies on
November 11, 1918.
French President Emmanuel
Macron and German Chancellor
Angela Merkel officially unveiled a
new memorial acknowledging, ‘the
criminal pride of the German empire
died, vanquished by the free people it
sought to enslave’.
Much has been written about the
dividing of spoils after World War I
and the virtual elimination of the
German state. History repeated itself a
short 20 years later. Most historians
agree the treatment of the defeated
Germans after World War I led
directly to the success of Adolf Hitler
and another world war.
After World War II, war criminals
were aggressively prosecuted but the
countries of West Germany, Austria,
Italy and Japan were built up rather
than thrashed and humiliated. Today
Germany and France are powerful
allies showing how peace after conflict
can actually be achieved and
sustained.
In 1970, Canada faced its own terrorism.
In October, the FLQ, Quebec’s
Liberation Front, a militant part of the
Quebec sovereignty movement, kidnapped
British Trade Commissioner
James Cross and murdered Pierre
Laporte the Minister of Immigration.
Instead of warring with Quebec, successive
government put time and effort
into reconciling French and English
interests.

Today the sovereignty movement
has waned and has little support
among young Quebecois. English
Canadians may not like all the compromises,
but if we had separated,
there would have been Brexit-type economic
chaos and decades of
uncertainty.
In contrast, the non-compromising
attitude of Spain towards their unique
province of Catalonia will most likely
lead to violence and a messy divorce.
Our aboriginal peoples are another
example of providing accommodation
to a defeated people—even though it
took us more than a century to admit
and start to deal with our uncomfortable
past. As truth and reconciliation
progresses, schools teach First Nations
history; and governments, courts and
the majority show respect, there is
confidence building in First Nations’
communities and among aboriginal
youth.
Our history is dark and long.
Progress forward will take time and
patience.
In contrast, the United States of
America never dealt with their racial
past. White Supremacists have been
emboldened by President Trump. As a
consequence, the un-United States is
awash in hatred and anger with an
ever increasing likelihood that a civil
conflict or even war could happen.
Because of Canada’s humble ethos,
willingness to compromise, ability to
admit failings, and our acceptance of
people from all races, cultures, religions
and sexual orientation, we still
enjoy relative peace within our borders.
But that peace can be fleeting.
It is frightening how many citizens,
whose relatives fought and died for our
freedom, are today forgetting their
military forefather’s promise to never
forget the lessons of the world wars.
The tongue is powerful. Hate consumes
reason. Rationalization of evil
can overtake the best of people.
Meaningless apologies
by Herman Schwenk
It seems that the in thing now is for
politicians to apologize for
events that they were not
responsible for and did not
initiate.
I guess that is supposed to
make everyone feel better
about the incident and make
it look like the politician is so
sorry that the incident ever
took place.
By apologizing the government
can demonstrate
PrairieView
compassion for the descendants of the
terrible event.
I find those kinds of apologies
to be empty of real
contrition and in some ways a
bit hypocritical.
To me, an apology is for
some wrong that was perpetrated
by an individual or
organization that the individual
or organization was
directly responsible for
causing.

Remain silent at our peril
Dear Editor,
We recently remembered the thousands
of men and women that died,
those thousands injured, and those
who participated in several wars to
preserve our freedoms.
One of those freedoms that these sacrifices
were made for was religious
freedom — the freedom to assemble
and believe in many diverse ways, and
to not interfere in another’s religious
participation.
Sadly we have forgotten this history
and there is no longer a commitment
by our government to religious
freedom.

Bill 22 emulates
Wynne’s failed Ontario
agenda to define the
family in weaker terms
so that Government can
more easily intrude into
the family unit to enforce
its own ideas.

They are using a stealth approach by
changing what appears to be innocuous
language in legislation and then
adopting regulations (where there is
no discussion) that remove religious
rights.
In 2016 I wrote a letter to the editor
supporting Bishop Henry when he
seemed to be standing alone in
opposing the provincial LGBTQ guidelines
that included Catholic Schools, as
they were a clear violation of Catholic
principles.
He became “prey”, castigated by the
press, education ministry, public
schools and special interest groups, as
archaic and narrow-minded.
I said that we remain silent at our
peril.
That has come to pass in the intervening
years.
We have the publicly-funded
Cornerstone Christian School defunded
because they were not allowed
to use certain Bible verses in their
Mission statement or Safe and Caring
Schools policy.
Now this year, all private Christian
schools must not state their beliefs
that God is the supreme authority, or
that the Bible, God’s Word, is the
truth.
These are fundamental to the very
core of a Christian school’s existence.
And just recently the Catholic bishops,
who had been working for a year with
Alberta Education on the new sex education
curriculum, were told by the
minister that they could not teach
their perspective along with the
Alberta curriculum.
This new curriculum will also
extend to private Christian schools
and homeschoolers as well.
Even Lisa Corbella of the normally
left-wing Calgary Herald labelled this
attack on religious schools as a violation
of the Charter (Calgary Herald,
Oct 3, 2018).
On the elimination of the word
“truth”, she says, “…schools must
teach only relativism, no absolutes are
allowed, otherwise those schools will
not find favour with Eggen (Education
Minister) and his comrades in the
NDP.”
This violation of religious freedom
extends to the Children’s Services
ministry as well. CBC News (posted
May 2, 2018) reported that an Alberta
Christian family had their adoption
application initially rejected because
of traditional views of sexuality, views
also held by Jewish people and
Muslims.
The decision was only reversed after
the couple sought a judicial review.
Another foray into this area is Bill
22, Children’s Services amendments,
which has just passed second reading
and is set to become law in early 2019.
It has a misleading title: An Act for
Strong Families building Strong
Communities.
It is anything but.

Everyone has an opinion on climate change
Dear Editor,
Questions I have regarding climate
change.
All forms of military since WWI,
including the atomic bombs, I ask,
where did all the radiation go??
Space program: every time something
is sent to space, what does that
cause in our atmosphere? All airplanes
and especially jet planes.
What is the pollution from just one of
those jet planes?
Our throw away society – An appliance
used to last for 20 or more years.
Cont’d from Pg 6
It emulates Wynne’s failed Ontario
agenda to define the family in weaker
terms so that Government can more
easily intrude into the family unit to
enforce its own ideas.
It makes an unnecessary and subtle
wording change. instead of the current
“the family is the basic unit of
society and its well-being should be
supported and preserved”, the amendment
reads “the child’s family has the
primary responsibility for the safety
and well-being of the child”.
This sounds similar good for families,
but in legal terms, it is not.
No more and now it’s cheaper to throw
it away than to fix it.
Global trade across the oceans.
Every time we have another trade
agreement, more ships are crossing
the ocean.
More pollution with the larger ports
and larger ships. Where will it all end?
We should trade on our own continent
and ‘save the whales’.
Cruise ships - Where is all the waste
and garbage going when out of port?
The ships just keep getting bigger.
For all the talk about ‘climate
Violations extend to Children’s Services
The former indicates that the family
predated society is the building blocks
of society and has precedence.
The latter makes it easier for the
government to intervene, as in
Ontario where the minister said “In
my mind that is abuse” when a parent
said “no” to a child’s argument on
gender identity.
This NDP government is determined
in its remaining mandate to
implement legislation and policies that
seriously infringe on everyone’s
freedom of religion, despite the
Alberta and Canadian Charter of
Rights and Freedoms, the Canadian
Holding record for most apologies
Cont’d from Pg 6
That kind of apology demonstrates
accepting responsibility for the
wrongful incident.
What got me going on this apology
was Trudeau apologizing for that shipload
of Jewish people that were
refused entry into Canada in 1939.
That event was a political decision
by the then Liberal Government of
McKenzie King.
That government knew full well
what would happen to those people.
That was an event that needed to be
publicly criticized and condemned but
Trudeau apologizing on behalf of the
Federal government was not going to
change anything.
To me, his reason for that apology
was for personal attention; that it
would make it look like he was being
supportive of the Jewish people following
the massacre at the Synagogue
in Pittsburg.
He has apologized on at least a halfdozen
other occasions for events that
go back before Canada was even a
country, like the hanging of a number
of aboriginal chiefs in 1864.
Some of the other events he apologized
for are the Residential Schools in
Newfoundland and Labrador.
These schools were set up well
before Newfoundland was part of
Canada.
He apologized for the purge of
LGBTQ from Government and the
Military.
There was a government apology for
the relocation of Manitoba’s Sayisi
Dene First Nation in 1956.
We all remember his apology to
Omar Kadar for being locked up as a
terrorist in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for
an extended period of time.
Not only did he apologize, he
secretly paid him over 10 million dollars
for that internment.
His reasoning was that Kadar was a
Canadian and should have been
brought back to Canada immediately
because a Canadian is a Canadian is a
Canadian.
The problem with that is he does not
seem to understand that a terrorist is
a terrorist is a terrorist!
While I think Trudeau holds the
record for the most apologies for a
Prime Minister he is not the only one
to do it.
I can recall that on at least two occasions
Stephen Harper made apologies
on behalf of the Government.
He apologized for the Government’s
moving the Japanese people out of B.C.
into Alberta during World War II and
he apologized for the Residential
School system that was implemented
in Canada.
Again these were events that needed
to be publicly condemned but he was
not personally responsible for the
events, so to me, the apology was
inappropriate.
If Justin Trudeau wanted to apologize
for something that would have
real meaning, I can think of a number.
He and his family spent his first
Christmas as Prime Minister with the
Aga Kahn.
He was charged by the Ethics
Commissioner for breaking a number
of protocol rules and regulations with
that episode.
He and his family traipsed all over
India in costumes to impress his Sikh
constituents here in Canada.
Basically, he made a fool of himself
and embarrassed the entire country.
Trudeau has killed three viable pipeline
projects since becoming Prime
Minister.
If these projects had proceeded he

Delia cannabis bylaw passes
Linda Stillinger
ECA Review
Bylaw 634-2018, a bylaw to regulate
all smoking and vaping of both
tobacco and cannabis in public and
work places within the Village of Delia
passed second and third readings
without any further amendments at
the Nov. 8 regular council meeting.
Elizabeth Armitage of Vicinia
Planning & Engagement Inc. was on
hand to review the company’s proposal
to develop a Municipal
Development Plan (MDP) for the
Village of Delia.
In the past, only municipalities with
a population of 3,500 persons or more
were required to adopt an MDP.
Now, according to the Municipal
Government Act (MGA) all municipalities
must have a MDP in place by
April 1, 2021.
Delia’s MDP will communicate the
long term desired land use for the
community and
serve as a blueprint
to show how
the community is
expected to
change over time
and the shape it
will take in the
future.
Vicinia proposes
to develop
Delia’s MDP in
conjunction with
the Intermunicipal
Development Plan
/ Intermunicipal
Collaboration
Framework (IDP/
ICF) project they
have been
retained to
complete while also providing updates
for the Land Use Bylaw as required by
the MGA.

obituary
Always been passionate about the land and the cattle
Aron Keith James
1975-2018
It is with great sadness that we
announce the
passing of Aron
James. He passed
away peacefully at
Our Lady of the
Rosary Hospital in
Castor with his
wife, Terra and
mom, Judy by his
side.
Aron Keith
James was born in
Coronation, Ab. on
James
Oct. 17, 1975 to Trevor and Judy James,
the oldest of two boys.
Aron was raised on the James farm,
east of Castor. His early years were
spent working on the farm, dirt biking,
playing hockey, 4-H, skiing and team
roping.
Aron attended Gus Wetter School in
Castor where he graduated in 1993. He
then went on to apprentice with
Coronation Farm Equipment and completed
his heavy duty mechanic ticket.
He then started in the oil patch soon
after. Aron started his own oilfield
company Teron Enterprises in 2000.
Aron married his high school sweetheart
, Terra Jamieson on Aug. 16,
1997. They moved a house out to the
family farm that fall and enjoyed their
time together before starting their
family.
They welcomed Cade on Jan. 3, 2003.
Then Codi arrived on Jan. 6, 2005, with
Cort arriving soon after on Jan. 25,
2007.
As a proud papa he always had time
for his kids. Aron spent many hours
roping in their outdoor arena with all
the kids.
They made many miles taking them
to hockey games and rodeos travelling
as a family most of the time to these
events.
He taught them the work had to be
done before it was time to play. He was
very proud of all of their accomplishments.
If he couldn’t be there, he loved
to listen to their play by play re-capping
their days events when they got
home.
They did many family holidays, but
the kids absolute favourite was their
yearly trips to the Ya-Ha Tinda.
Aron enjoyed life to the fullest and
savoured every moment with his
friends and family, whether at a
branding or just hanging out in the
shop having happy hour. He played
hard but he worked harder.
Aron, Terra and kids have worked
hard to build the family farm and have
always been passionate about the land
and the cattle.
Over the years they have harvested
many fields with friends and family,
branded too many cattle to count,
cooked meals to feed the masses and
enjoyed every minute of it.
Aron leaves to mourn his passing,
his loving and devoted wife, Terra, his
son Cade, daughter Codi and son Cort.
His parents, Judy and Trevor James,
brother Neal and his wife Lori, father
and mother-in-law Doan and Sherry
Jamieson, sister-in-laws Lisa Jordahl
and her daughters Sydney and
Morgyn, Kyla and Logan Downey and
their children Evan, Emma and Rhett.
A funeral service was held on Tues.
Nov. 6, 2018 at 3 p.m. at the Knox
United Church, Castor, Ab. with Rev.
Barbara Zimmerman officiating.
Interment followed at the Castor
Cemetery, in Castor, Ab.
Celebration of Life was held right
after led by Keith Erion. Following the
services, there was a time of sharing
memories and a luncheon prepared
and served by Ann Michielsen.
Donations in memory of Aron are
gratefully accepted to Our Lady Of
The Rosary Hospital – Palliative Care
Room or a Trust Fund at ATB for the
James children.
Sympathies may be forwarded to the
family by signing the guestbook at

Loved to socialize
and entertain
Darrel Dean Hurtak
1952-2018
It is with great sadness that we
announce the sudden passing of our
brother, Darrel Dean Hurtak.
He was a much-loved
brother, brother-in-law, uncle
and friend to many.
Darrel was born on Jan. 8,
1952, to John and Shirley
Hurtak and was raised in the
Crowsnest Pass.
He loved the Pass and spent
many hours hunting, fishing
and working there.
Darrel’s favourite jobs in Hurtak
the Pass was at the Dairy
working with Rudy bottling
milk for the morning milk
run, making some of the best
mozzarella sold in Alberta
and doing the milk run if
needed.
Throughout his later years,
he could be seen on Friday
and Saturday working the bar
for Bob at the Bellevue Inn. He
also worked at the COSECA gas plant.
Darrel left the Pass in 1970 to attend
the University of Lethbridge.
He received a degree in Education
and went on to teach in the areas of
Rainbow Lake, Keg River and Castor.
Darrel loved to travel and as he had
worked on his steam and power engineering
tickets, he was able to obtain a
job in Dubai and his world travels
began.
He worked in
Dubai for 25
years.
Darrel then
moved on to
supervise the
construction of
more LNG plants
in Africa,
Venezuela,
United States and
Thailand.
In 2015, he
retired as Senior
TOSTR Engineer
in Thailand.
Darrel loved to
socialize and
entertain which
led him to purchase
the Halkirk
Hotel in Halkirk,
Ab.
Darrel was a
proud hotel
owner and that
great pride meant
that he upgraded
and restored the
hotel into a
landmark.
When Darrel
was not overseas,
he lived in the
Castor-Halkirk
area always
improving the
Halkirk Hotel.
Darrel had to
have a state of the
art kitchen as
food and cooking
was a great love.
Two of his
favourites were
making pasta and
smoking meats.
He was an avid
gardener and
loved flowers
which were abundant
around the
hotel.
Darrel had a
passion for goose
hunting and took friends and family
on many ‘legendary’ goose hunts,
some in the ‘bird van’.
Darrel was a generous person and
gave so much to many
people. He was always there
to help any way he could.
He was a Ducks Unlimited
supporter, a Royal Order of
Moose for 44 years and a

Emergency water pump repair
Cont’d from Pg 3
This unexpected cost took
a hit to their finances, setting
them back
approximately $17,000.
Council made a resolution to
have the pump repair paid
for through reserves.
“That’s what reserves are
for right?” said Coun. Barb
Gilliat.
The budget is anticipating
a surplus at the end of this
year.

New take on classic
Christmas variety show
Amero Little Christmas is a new
take on a classic Christmas variety
show taking place at the Stettler
Performing Arts on Sunday, Dec. 2
hosted by Stettler Variety Showcase.
It falls somewhere between a
Michael Bublé Christmas Special and
Tom Jackson’s Huron Carole, giving
the audience a modern take on a
classic.
Between the witty banter, lots of
laughs, heartfelt music and inspiring
stories, Amero Little Christmas is an
experience for the whole family.
Don Amero is a three time Juno
nominee who is making his mark on
the Canadian
Country music
scene and he’ll be
touring this
winter to bring
his soulful
country voice
along with a few
band mates to
ring in the holiday
season.
From humble
beginnings in
2009, Don decided
to plan a
Christmas
themed concert
based purely on
his love for holiday
music and
the community
vibe that the
season brings.
“We all know
there’s something
magical about
Christmas and
my hope is to
$15,159 of this surplus
towards fire department
reserves, the village would
still have funding for the village’s
portion of capital
expenses up to and
including 2020.
There is also a line item
within the budget that
allows for $15,000 transfer to
reserves under fire department
expenses.
Chief Administrative
Officer (CAO) Michelle
White recommended
The Heartland Arts Troupe Society (HATS) captivated the audience
with witty humour as they presented the dinner theatre production
‘Rumors’. Four performances took place at the Stettler Community
Hall from Wed. Nov. 7 to Sat. Nov. 10, all of which were nearly or
completely sold out.
ECA Review/T.Huxley
capture some of that and put it into a
show”.
Don is known to throw in a few fun
and festive videos that really put the
icing on the cake and are always an
audience favourite.
The show sets a tone for people to
refocus on what the season is really
about, which to Amero means “to
relax, look at the blessings in your life
and show love to others.”
There are two shows, 2 p.m. and 7:30
p.m. Tickets are $30 for adults; $15 for
students and are available at Wish
Kitchen & Gifts, Stettler or at the door.

council consider doing this transfer on
an annual bases to ensure enough
money has been set aside for future
large expenditures like a fire truck or
other pieces of pricey equipment.
The village is required to pay for 50
per cent of all capital items purchased.
Council made a resolution to accept
the recommendation to continue the
$15,000 transfer on an annual basis as
well as set $15,159 towards the fire
department reserves.
Legal expenses
Alix did not have a line item for legal
expenses in the past. It was always
under professional administration
purposes.
“So for this year we have about
$25,000 in that department and that
being said, we are at this point under
utilizing that department, I am happy
to say,” said White. “It’s not to say we
won’t need them for year end but it’s a
section of our budget that we could
tighten down on if we had a reserve set
up for it.”
CAO White mentioned how council
could use this year’s surplus to make
this reserve a reality or to budget for
in 2019.
Coun. Vicki Soltermann felt that a
separate reserve would not be beneficial
as those funds could only be solely
used for legal matters whereas a general
reserve gives the village freedom
to move funds around as needed.
CAO White then mentioned they
could build a general reserve set anywhere
from $25,000 to $50,000 instead.
No resolution was required but
administration did take the information
into account for further
adjustments to the budget.
