MORRIN COUNCIL 

Fire Chief Davidson reports to council 

J. Webster 


Fire Chief Darcy Davidson 

attended the regular Morrin 

council meeting on Wed. Dec. 19 

to give the Fire Department’s 

annual report. 

This included the department 

responding to six fires, 12 motor 

vehicle accidents, one medical 

emergency, one CO2 alarm and 

one river/water rescue 

throughout 2018. 

He said members are training 

twice a month and are focused 

on water management and 

vehicle extrication. 

He noted logged hours ran a 

total of 634.5, however, he 

emphasized that some members 

aren’t keeping track as often so 

likely the hourly total is approximately 

800 to 900 hours per 

year. 

Mayor Howard Helton asked 

for pertinent numbers for the 

budget for 2019 if the Fire 

Department was thinking of 

upcoming expenses for the 

replacement of outdated turn 

out gear that includes the coat, 

hat, helmet, boots and gloves. 

Two sets can cost as high as 

$5,500 to $5,800. 

Davidson said he’d prefer an 

annual purchase of two sets a 

year stating “then it would 

probably never get to where sets 

exceed the 10 year date for suggested 

replacement.” 

Davidson noted that equipment 

approved by the Village of 

Morrin 10 months ago, other 

than an ‘attack hose’ have yet to 

be purchased, a list which had 

included a pump, supply hose, 

rope and lift bags. 

Davidson noted they were 

still waiting for Starland 

County to approve. 

The Village and the County 

share in the expenses for the 

fire department. 

Council approved to the pay 

the village share 

for the purchase of six sets of 

firefighter structural-rated 

gloves and face shields at a cost 

of approximately $255 per set. 

Davidson will get back to 

Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Annette Plachner with 

accurate costs prior to the 

January meeting. 

Cannabis bylaws addressed 

Cannabis Bylaw #362 is a 

bylaw that will restrict consumption 

of cannabis in public 

places in the Village of Morrin 

which has now passed all three 

readings. 

The Land Use Bylaw #363 

regarding the location of cannabis 

retail sales development 

passed first reading and will 

now go to a public hearing in 

January, as is required for all 

land use bylaw changes. 

Sewer troubles 

CAO Plachner explained to 

Council that the resident on 

Kneehill County and Town 

of Trochu working together 

Submitted 

The Town of Trochu and 

Kneehill County met on 

December 19 and 20, 2018, as 

part of a mandated mediation 

through Municipal Affairs. 

Both parties came to the session 

willingly and prepared to 

work together, intent on 

collaboration. 

Both the Town and County 

agreed to meet in good faith in 

order to negotiate the intermunicipal 

agreements that are due 

by March 31, 2020, per new 

requirements set out in the 

Municipal Government Act. 

The negotiations between the 

Town of Trochu and Kneehill 

County will be ongoing through 

the new year. 

As these are contractually 

based agreements, these sessions 

will be confidential and 

closed to the public. 

A mutual commitment to 

open and frequent communication 

with each other will be key 

to shared successes. 

Rocky View County Council 

split decision over Kneehill CAO 

Terri Huxley 


Kneehill County’s 

Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO) Al Hoggan 

has recently put in his 

employment departure 

notice as of October. 

Since then, a replacement 

has been identified. 

During Rocky View 

County’s regular 

meeting held on Tues. 

Dec. 11, councillors had 

mixed opinions when it 

came to the situation 

they were presented 

with. 

Hoggan had applied to 

become Rocky View 

County’s CAO, Kneehill 

County’s neighbouring 

municipality. 

The vote was split, five 

in favour to four opposed 

due to the preliminary 

review being conducted 

by Municipal Affairs, but 

the Rocky View County 

Reeve was rest-assured 

there would no issues 

regarding Hoggan’s 

hiring. 

“It’s disappointing 

when councils don’t support 

a motion of council 

but that’s democracy and 

people can choose any 

way they choose,” said 

Reeve Greg Boehlke. 

“My take on it is 

there’s no real reason to 

not hire him. The issues 

that are going on in 

Kneehill, I don’t think 

anything will come of 

them and if they do we 

will have to deal with 

that when it happens but 

I’ve been assured by the 

[Kneehill County] Reeve 

and the CAO that 

nothing will come of it.” 

Council passed a resolution 

appointing Al 

Hoggan as the County’s 

new Chief 

Administrative Officer, 

effective Dec. 17, 2018, 

after majority ruled the 5 

– 4 vote. 

Boehlke has been in 

touch with Municipal 

Affairs, finding 

Kneehill’s administration 

to pass with ‘flying 

colours’ as most of the 

issues arising have been 

surrounding the council 

decision making process. 

“It didn’t have anything 

to do with 

administration. As a 

matter of fact, their 

administration just came 

with flying colours in 

September on a 

Municipal Affairs review 

that they do for municipalities 

under 5,000 

residents,” he said. 

Boehlke added that 

council hired a personnel 

finder with the 

intention of hiring 

someone who held both 

municipal and nonmunicipal 

sector 

experience, something 

Hoggan fit the bill 

perfectly. 

“We took their complete 

advice on 

everything and they supplied 

us with good 

candidates. We narrowed 

it to four then we 

narrowed it to two and 

then we narrowed it to 

one so we are very confident 

and looking 

forward,” Boehlke said. 

“You can’t ask for 

more than that with 

what we got and we got 

the guy we wanted.” 

The county recently 

underwent a corporate 

restructure which is currently 

being 

implemented. 

“Well I can tell you, 

the vast majority of 

people are very excited 

about the direction the 

county is going in,” he 

said. “We just finished 

a corporate 

restructure and I 

believe Al 

Hoggan will 

carry that on and 

we will end up 

much better off 

with the hire.” 

Railway Ave. has had sewer 

backup problems three 

times recently. 

Plachner called in a 

plumber to look at the issue 

and report back what the 

issues are to Council along 

with the bill. 

Although the 2nd Ave. S. 

sewer main replacement has 

been suggested by MPE 

Engineering for the next 

major project to replace the 

line from a four to a six inch, 

Plachner said it may be 

Railway Ave. first which 

would cost less as the line, if 

needed, would only be a four 

inch line replacement. 

CAO Plachner will keep 

Council informed as the situation 

develops. 

Larger snow bucket 

Council approved a 

motion for $4,745 to purchase 

a larger bucket and 

blades to mount on to the 

JCB 214 backhoe. 

In his written report, 

Public Works Foreman 

David Benci noted that by 

reducing labour and fuel 

costs with a larger bucket 

“the return on investment 

would be about 1.3 years 

based on last winter’s’ snow 

removal and would improve 

snow removal service to the 

community.” 

Council concerns 

and reports 

Coun. Graham questioned 

the absence of the Village of 

Morrin’s website. 

“He was suppose to come 

to the meeting tonight,” 

explained CAO Plachner,

Rules determined for use of cannabis 

Terri Huxley 


Bashaw Town Council determined 

the rules surrounding the use of cannabis 

at their regular council meeting 

on Thurs. Dec. 20. 

No public feedback was received so 

second and third reading passed 

without many complications. 

The bylaw prohibits the use of cannabis 

on public property. This includes 

areas like the arena, sidewalks, parks, 

etc. 

It also decides anyone who is a nuisance 

by smoking or vaping in their 

home if the consumption is disturbing 

the peace of any other individual. 

To determine if someone is being a 

nuisance, they follow certain parameters 

such as the form of cannabis being 

consumed, the time of day and duration 

of consumption, proximity of 

adjacent or effected properties and 

impact on health and others. 

If anyone were to consume cannabis 

on public property or decide to disturb 

the peace, they will receive a $250 fine 

for the first offense and then $500 for 

any subsequent offences. 

The nationwide cannabis act came 

into effect in October but Alberta has 

taken measures through the Act to 

Control and Regulate Cannabis which 

also places restrictions on the use of 

cannabis in public settings. 

TOWN OF BASHAW 

Water charge discussion 

Council and administration have 

been hard at work preparing for the 

upcoming water charge discussion 

which will take place during their regular 

council meeting on Jan. 17. 

Interested individuals can find 

council in the Small Room of the 

Community Hall to accomodate for a 

large audience. 

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) 

Theresa Fuller wanted to get council 

caught up to speed as to where the 

water consumption levels are at, as 

well as new discoveries that are continuing 

to develop. 

The total annual water consumption, 

water that is purchased from the 

Highway 12/21 Commission, is 

expected to reach 99,000 cubic metres. 

The total metered consumption from 

resident metres that the town collects 

revenue from will be 68,020 cubic 

metres. 

Operational water costs like hydrant 

flushing and water treatment testing 

also appears to access a certain volume 

of water. 

The total unmetered amount of 

water consumption racks up to 30,980 

cubic metres. 

CAO Fuller explained many of the 

sites listed have had water metres 

installed recently but a few are left to 

be completed by public works. 

Once the metre readings become

Funding requests were 

received from various community 

organizations. 

Each organization submits an 

accurate report on why they 

require funding and lists their 

revenues and expenditures for 

the year so council can have an 

in-depth look and make 

informed decisions before allocating 

funds.

detail in the new year before the

“This just makes it legal to

away,” explained Chief 

Administrative Officer (CAO) 

Sandra Kulyk as Council discussed 

the interim budget. 

In the new year, typically in 

the spring, the budget will be

“This will provide us with information 

over time, and we can begin to 

determine what water is being used 

where, identify and/or eliminate infrastructure 

leaks as well,” stated Fuller 

in her request for decision regarding 

the discussion. 

They currently anticipate the water 

revenue to be around $50,000 less than 

current projections, compounded by 

the subsidization of water of $24,000. 

This is due to the unmetered sites 

resulting in uncollected water 

revenue. 

A few optional directions were presented 

to council. 

They decided to chose to keep the 

base charge at $25 per month and 

water prices at $2.96. 

The increased base charge to include 

the $13,000 for water metre purchases 

will have unmetered water costs covered 

through taxation. 

This option was chosen to alleviate 

the sudden rise in water prices and 

keep consistency. 

The only issue identified was that 

this option, along with the others, does 

not include capital contributions to 

save for future water repairs or 

upgrades. 

“My opinion is that if we can keep it 

as close to the cost as possible at this 

point and I know that doesn’t cover the 

cost of the metered water but if we can, 

breaks, evacuation policies, 

blizzards and snowstorms, 

drought, telecommunications 

failure, energy/power/utility 

failure, and communication 

equipment failure. 

Hazard planning included 

computer hardware and software 

failure, water pollution or 

shortage and missing persons. 

Both Coun. Jackie Brigley 

and Deputy Mayor Ron Checkel 

have completed the Alberta 

Emergency Alert Training. 

Coronation to purchase 

County pumper truck 

Coronation Council agreed to 

purchase the County of 

Paintearth’s Ford F700 pumper 

truck for $26,000 at their regular 

Dec. 17 meeting, as the 

County is receiving a new fire 

truck. 

Research will be done on the 

Town’s existing truck to see 

what the value of it is and then it 

can be advertised on the private 

market.

Fair’s Fair Taxi Service 

CLOSING 

I just want to start off by saying thank you to 

all the wonderful people in the area. It is with 

great regret that I have to inform you, as of 

Dec. 31, 2018 Fair’s Fair Taxi will no longer be 

operating the local Hanna taxi service. 

The unfortunate reason for closing is due to 

the rising cost of operations as well as some 

recent vandalism. All four van tires were 

slashed in October. 

The Taxi Service will still be available for city 

trips by appointment only. 

Thank you again for all the support.

then next year not have as much of a 

big jump, we gradually keep 

increasing because we all know prices 

keep going up,” said Deputy Mayor 

Rosella Peterman. 

“Nobody wants to go from $2.64 to 

$2.96 or $3, for that matter,” began 

CAO Fuller. 

“But we can’t absorb it,” Coun. Lynn 

Shultz finished the sentence. 

“Well, we are in a situation where 

we are moving backwards and it’s still 

a little bit risky offsetting that volume 

of water through taxes but we do have 

a little bit of options,” said Fuller. 

The discussion in January will 

allow residents to voice their questions 

or concerns. 

Non-potable water price 

Town administration has explained 

the Non-Potable Truck Fill is operation 

but water pricing is yet to be 

determined. 

After deliberation, council came to a 

consensus to set the water price at 

$2.50 per cubic metre to cover rates. 

Typically, the calculation would be 

based on the projected consumption 

and offset the installation price of the 

filling station but the town currently 

does not know how much water will be 

consumed. 

Since Camrose County has a nearby 

non-potable fill station where they 

charge $2.50, council felt it was beneficial 

to be competitive by setting the 

rate the same.

Scene of four vehicle collision on Highway 9 

Submitted 

Oyen RCMP responded to a four 

vehicle collision on Highway 9 near 

Range Road 60 on Dec. 27, 2018 at 

approximately 11:25 a.m. 

Initial investigation has revealed 

that an eastbound truck crossed the 

centre line into the path of an westbound 

car on Highway 9. 

Two other westbound cars then collided 

sending one of the westbound 

cars into the ditch. 

Conditions at the time of the collision 

were very icy and foggy. 

Hanna rally organizers David Starcevic, left, and Shawn Godziuk hold up protest signs during 

the Hanna rally held on Sat. Dec. 22. 


‘Every person matters’ 

Cont’d from Pg 4 

Godziuk added, “Every person 

matters.” 

As for Drumheller, Organizer Terry 

Couturier was pleased with the 

amount of people who showed up on 

Sun. Dec. 23 at the Salvation Army 

parking lot across from the Husky gas 

station. 

“ He’s [trudeau’s] pitted 

every race, every province, 

every religion against each 

other. it’s not good.” 

- TERRY COUTURIER, 

DRUMHELLER ORGANIZER 

A bleak winter day quickly turned to 

sunshine as the day continued. Many 

protesters, approximately 125 people, 

remained in the area along the 

highway for approximately three 

hours before calling it a day. 

“I’m happy with it,” began 

Couturier. “It was really good for being 

this close to Christmas.” 

Couturier has been involved with 

the oil patch for 33 years, claiming this 

has been one of the hardest times for 

people in the industry. 

“It’s bad times. I’ve never seen it this 

bad. There’s a lot of people hurting 

here and a lot of people are upset over 

the UN Migration Pact that [Trudeau] 

signed. That’s one of the big ones for 

me. 

“This is the worst government I’ve 

ever seen in my life. He’s pitted every 

race, every province, every religion 

The female driver (28) of Banff, Ab., 

of the westbound car died at the scene. 

The male and female passengers of 

the eastbound truck were transported 

to hospital by EMS with serious 

injuries. 

Two other females and one male 

from the other two cars were transported 

to hospital by police with minor 

injuries and later released. 

RCMP members from Oyen and 

Hanna detachments, and a RCMP collision 

analyst attended the scene. The 

matter remains under investigation. 

against each other. It’s not good. We all 

have to unite together and get him out 

of power,” he said. 

Recently, the Canadian government 

introduced Bill C-69, an act to enact 

the Impact Assessment Act and the 

Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to 

amend the Navigation Protection Act 

and to make consequential amendments 

to other acts. 

These amendments included giving 

over control of Canadian borders to 

the United Nations, something many 

if not all of the protesters have disagreed 

with. 

Recently, the bill passed third 

reading with 169 yes votes while 131 

voted no. 

Couturier was inspired by the rallies 

that took place in Nisku and 

Grande Prairie, which started the 

local protest in Drumheller. 

Drumheller has acted as the central 

hub for oil and gas oriented jobs for 

many years but hardship has seen 

businesses pulling out of the area. 

“There’s not a lot left here and it’s 

bad because a lot of people rely on 

this,” Couturier continued. 

“He [Trudeau] has us completely 

landlocked with our oil. He’s doing 

what his father did. He wants to shut 

us down and break Alberta. That’s 

what he’s looking to do and he’s doing a 

good job of it.” 

The organizer sees this protest continuing 

in the future, hoping to make a 

difference as time goes on. 

The key is to remain united and 

bring this attention in the rural areas 

to the urban centres. 

“I hope it keeps going and you see a 

lot of stuff on Facebook where just the 

oil industry is hijacked. We still have 

to look at Canada as a whole and all 

come together. We just have to get this 

government out.”

PRAIRIEVIEW 

Notley’s ‘Hail 

Mary’ pass 

by Herman Schwenk 

Rachel Notley, the Alberta premier, 

is getting desperate. 

She is within six months of having to 

call an election. 

I think she sees the writing on the 

wall. 

This is forcing her to come up with 

some desperate ideas to get re-elected 

or at least leave with a credible legacy. 

Since she can’t get a pipeline built 

during her tenure she came up with 

the idea of buying thousands of rail 

cars and trains to pull the cars for 

moving oil. 

As well, she is asking for proposals 

to build a refinery to market some of 

our surplus oil. 

The upside of this idea is that it 

would provide thousands of jobs. 

In my opinion, a refinery at this time 

is a non-starter. 

“ 

People did not vote 

for her [Notley], they voted 

against the old, corrupt PC 

government that Jason 

Kenney and his people 

appear to be 

resurrecting. 

This isn’t really a new idea by the 

NDP. 

Is there a business case for another 

refinery at this time? I think not or it 

would have already happened. 

Of course being a socialist, her idea 

of a proposal would involve government 

intervention of some kind, like a 

government incentive grant or partial 

ownership. 

As usual, she has not thought 

through the logistics of what she is 

asking for. 

We’re talking about an investment of 

10 to 15 billion dollars. 

This would take years of planning 

and regulatory approvals, something 

that would not and could not happen in 

the next six months. 

Who does she think would be prepared 

to provide the financing needed 

for a project of this magnitude? 

You would think if she hasn’t 

learned anything else in the last 3 1/2 

years that she would have figured out 

that money doesn’t grow on trees or 

maybe she thinks borrowed money is 

money growing on trees. 

“ 

VIEWPOINTS 

She has the same basic problem with 

her railcar idea. 

While it would not be a project of the 

same magnitude, it would still require 

significant financing and there would 

be a logistical problem of running 

many more trains on existing rail 

tracks. 

Sooner or later there will be some 

pipeline capacity built and by that time 

the rail cars would not be needed. 

Right now there are somewhere 

between 250,000 and 300,000 barrels of 

oil being moved daily by rail. 

I think that most of that is going to 

the USA. 

In my mind, it is moving in the 

wrong direction. 

Last week at the Canadian First 

Ministers Conference, the premier of 

Quebec, Francois Legault, said it was 

socially unacceptable for Alberta’s 

‘dirty oil’ to move through Quebec. 

However, it is socially acceptable to 

transfer over 13 billion dollars to their 

coffers, most of which is generated by 

Alberta’s ‘dirty oil’. 

Legault has demonstrated ignorance 

and hypocrisy with his comments 

about dirty energy. 

Jason Kenney was recently quoted 

as saying in an Edmonton Sun editorial, 

“It is not acceptable for a province 

to block our resources while benefiting 

massively from the wealth they 

generate”. 

If Quebec does not like our oil going 

through their province in a pipeline 

then Notley should make sure it goes 

through the province in the rail cars 

we have now instead of going to the 

USA. 

Quebec may prevent us from 

exporting oil by pipeline for now but 

they can’t stop us from shipping it 

through the province by rail. 

I think Rachel Notley is now finally 

beginning to figure out what makes 

Alberta tick. 

Her ultra-socialist concepts just do 

not work. 

Her accidental election win in 2015 

has caused Alberta to lose over $100 

billion in investment and almost that 

much in deficit financing. 

She still thinks she won that election 

because the people liked her socialist 

policies. 

People did not vote for her, they 

voted against the old, corrupt PC government 

that Jason Kenney and his 

people appear to be resurrecting. 

However, even with that happening, 

Notley’s ‘Hail Mary’ pass still will not 

get her re-elected. 

The opinions expressed are not necessarily 

the opinions of this newspaper. 

LEGISLATURE 

How not to get it done 

by Rick Strankman, MLA 

Drumheller Stettler 

Ronald Reagan once said that the 

nine most terrifying words in the 

English language are: “I’m from the 

government and I’m here to help.” 

His quote aptly describes the typical 

inefficiency of government. 

Where government fails, private 

industry, more often than not, will 

prosper. 

In order for prosperity to 

have a fighting chance, it 

requires an atmosphere 

that is free of market 

manipulation and 

over-regulation. 

Examples of over-regulation 

and government 

manipulation are currently 

on display across Canada. 

Governments across this 

country have bogged down 

pipelines for generations. 

They are attempting to remedy that 

with, you guessed it, a higher level of 

government involvement! 

The Trans Mountain Pipeline 

project is a shining example of how 

government can over-regulate and 

allow objections to halt a project and 

make it no longer viable for private 

investors to pursue. 

Although it’s important to protect 

the environment, landowner rights 

and ensure companies are accountable 

for their actions, there must be reasonable 

limits to how far those actions can 

go. 

Both the Alberta and Federal governments 

have failed to prioritize the 

importance of the energy industries 

contribution to the Canadian economy. 

Now, average Canadians are beginning 

to feel the negative effects of 

government overreach. 

If Alberta and Canada are going to 

climb out of the self-imposed regulatory 

purgatory, a vastly different 

approach needs to be taken. 

The difficulties investors in 

Canadian energy have encountered 

have had inevitable negative consequences 

for the Canadian economy. 

Unprecedented exodus of investment 

dollars to other locations throughout 

the world was seen in 2018. It appears 

that this will continue in 2019. 

The Canadian energy industry 

dilemma has accomplished 

only one thing, self-imposed 

hardship. 

Consumers of the energy 

products that have been the 

foundation of our economic 

success in the global market 

depend on a consistent and 

reliable supply of those 

products. 

Canadian energy policies 

Strankman are now creating an impression 

that our supply is 

unreliable and inconsistent. 

While the government plays a vital 

role in protecting Canadians and their 

assets from harm, in recent years they 

have grossly overstepped their role in 

our lives. 

Time and again we are seeing corporations 

that meet requirements to 

engage in their line of production, 

effectively blocked from moving forward 

by endless regulations that add 

unbudgeted costs and delays. 

Nowhere are the words by Ronald 

Reagan exemplified better than right 

here in Alberta. 

Overarching Government regulations 

have been at the root of most, if 

not all, of the province’s current economic 

woes. 

If this government truly would like 

to help move industry and Albertans 

forward, their best course of action 

would be to create and stick to a reasonable 

set of regulations that allow 

our industries to fairly compete in the 

global market.

Maximalism: design trend 

replacing minimalism 

For the last decade or so, minimalism 

has been all the rage among 

interior 

designers. 

An esthetic 

that 

embraces 

simplicity, 

minimalism 

favours basic 

geometric 

patterns, 

muted 

colours and 

unembellished 

furniture and accessories. 

Recently, however, there’s been a 

new trend exploding in the interior 

design world — maximalism. A reaction 

against the less-is-more mentality 

of minimalism, maximalism embraces 

bold colours, luxurious fabrics, 

detailed patterns and a melange of 

accessories and styles. The maximalist 

approach encourages you to 

design interiors that display your creativity 

and reflect your personality. 

If you’re tired of sparse, minimalist 

interiors, here are a few tips on how to 

achieve the maximalist look: 

 

interiors may look artlessly eclectic, 

they have to be carefully planned to 

avoid looking kitschy and overstuffed. 

Even when experimenting with 

clashing patterns and designs, you 

should organize the room symmetrically 

and have an overarching colour 

scheme. 

malist 

interiors can sometimes feel 

impersonal, maximalist interiors 

showcase your personality through 

REAL E STATE/HOMES 

unique combinations of styles and decorations. 

Choose colours, patterns and 

accessories that 

reveal something 

about you and your 

interests. 

 

doses. Start with a 

few decorative 

touches, like adding 

a mix of brightly 

coloured throw pillows 

on the couch, 

putting up patterned 

wallpaper or 

investing in a few statement pieces of 

furniture or decor. 

This winter, embrace the maximalist 

trend. Brighten up your home 

by integrating vibrant colours, loud 

patterns, gilded decorations and richly 

textured fabrics into your living space.

Our Oilfield . . . Our Future 

Insight into 

current oil 

supply 

Calgary, Dec. 27, 2018 /CNW/ – 

Western Canada’s oil supply is 365,000 

barrels above the amount of oil 

flowing daily in existing pipelines, 

according to a new report on Western 

Canadian Crude Oil Supply, Markets 

and Pipeline Capacity released today 

by the National Energy Board (NEB). 

This report gives insight into the 

imbalance between supply and 

capacity to move crude oil to markets 

and factors that have contributed to a 

wider discount (known as a differential) 

for Canadian crude oil; it also 

describes how space is allocated on 

pipelines in Canada. 

The Minister of Natural Resources, 

the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, has 

recently asked the NEB for advice on 

how to optimize oil transportation 

capacity on existing pipelines and rail. 

This report will serve as background 

information while the NEB 

prepares its advice to the Minister in 

February 2019, after consulting with a 

number of industry participants. 

The NEB publishes a portfolio of 

products on energy supply, demand 

and infrastructure regularly as part of 

its ongoing market monitoring.

OBITUARY 

Instilled importance of farm values 

Margaret Elizabeth Rowe (nee 

Dornan), age 87, passed away peacefully 

on Dec. 16, 2018 at the Red Deer 

Hospice surrounded by her family. 

She was born on March 21, 

1931 to her parents, Norman 

and Annie Dornan, on the 

homestead near Finnegan, Ab. 

Margaret is survived by her 

daughter Anne (Randy) Karren; 

sons: John Rowe, Len (Cheryl) 

Rowe and George (Julie) Rowe; 

four grandchildren, Trevor, 

Jeff, Koryn and Megan and two 

great grandchildren: Nathan 

on July 4, 1953 on the Dornan farm and 

this past summer would have been 

their 65th wedding anniversary. 

Lorne and Margaret lived on the 

Rowe farm near Stanmore 

for nearly 40 years. After 

getting married, Margaret 

taught school at Westover, 

north of the Rowe farm 

and then Stanmore School 

until it closed in 1960. 

Margaret and Lorne 

raised their family on the 

farm and instilled the 

importance of farm values, 

Rowe 

also known as the 

Farmers Creed, in their 

children. They also raised 

Hereford cattle of which they were 

very proud. 

Besides helping Lorne on the farm, 

Margaret crocheted and knitted and 

took a keen interest in genealogy and 

history. This led Margaret to help out 

and become president of the History 

Book Club, which published the 

Prairie Rose Country. 

Margaret also judged record books 

for the Youngstown 4-H Club for a 

number of years. 

After moving to Hanna in 1990, 

Margaret volunteered by delivering 

Meals on Wheels, helping the Hanna 

Food Bank and then later becoming 

the president of the Hanna Food Bank. 

Margaret enjoyed visiting and 

playing cards with friends and family. 

She enjoyed many bus trips with Lorne 

to various parts of Canada and the 

USA in their retirement. 

Margaret enjoyed her time living at 

the Hanna Manor and most recently 

the Hanna Lodge. 

and Owen; and three siblings: 

Doris Husty, Lawrence Dornan 

and Catherine Wiens. 

Margaret was predeceased by her 

husband Lorne in March 2018; a son, 

Richard in 2016; her father, Norman in 

1976 and her mother, Annie in 2009. 

Being the oldest of four children and 

growing up in the 1930’s, Margaret 

learned at an early age to help out on 

the family farm with milking cows, 

cleaning the barn, shearing sheep, 

riding and breaking horses, haying 

and gardening. 

Margaret attended her elementary 

school years in Connersville School 

near her parent’s farm; completed her 

Grade 9 in Brooks; Grade 10 in Hanna 

while living in the Hanna Dormitory 

and Grades 11 and 12 in Sunnynook, 

Ab. where she met Lorne, who was 

also going to school there. 

Margaret completed her teaching 

certificate from Calgary Normal 

School and began her teaching career 

at Cando, a one-room school near Big 

Stone, Ab. 

Margaret and Lorne were married

OBITUARIES 

Worked almost fifty years in Magnet Store, Castor 

Helen Marie (Battle) Bowen was 

born Oct. 9, 1922, and passed away on 

Dec. 19, 2018, in Stettler. 

Mom was born at home on the 

family farm during a time when the 

Italian (Angelozzi) grandparents were 

visiting. 

Mom started her schooling at 

Enterprise School and finished her 

schooling in Delia, Ab. 

Mom loved the farm life. 

She was particularly fond of 

Grandpa’s horses and working 

in the fields along with her 

brothers. 

Apparently, she did this so 

Grandpa would let her play 

ball. 

This was one of the loves of 

her life. 

She was very proud of the 

fact that they were the youngest Bowen 

team in the Provincial Playoffs 

one year and came in second to 

a “much older” team. 

She also loved curling, camping, 

travelling, gardening, making jams 

and jellies (she won many ribbons at 

the fall fair for her cinnamon buns, 

jams/jellies and flowers) and 

belonging to the IODE, UCW (rummage 

sale in particular), Legion 

Auxiliary and canvassing. 

She was very proud of Ivor’s many 

years of involvement with the Castor 

Air Cadets and the young men and 

women who were part of it; some of 

whom have kept in contact with her 

after they left Castor. 

Mom also immensely enjoyed her 

and Husband Ivor’s trips to Europe for 

various anniversaries of the end of 

WW2 which Ivor fought in. 

If you mentioned Vimy, Dieppe or 

Normandy, she would recount histories 

of these places as they had visited 

them, and Ivor’s memories of where he 

fought, etc. and would haul out pictures 

and point out where they had 

been. 

Her memory and knowledge of 

almost anything was incredible. 

After school, Mom moved to Sylvan 

Lake and then to North Vancouver. 

Helen and I were born there in 1944 

and 1942 respectively. 

We later moved to Youbou, BC and 

then back to Delia in 1952. 

Mom worked in the Co-Op Store in 

Delia until the end of June 1953 when 

we moved to Castor. 

Both herself and Ivor were employed 

by Ray Wiart, and later Guy at the 

Magnet Store for many years. 

I believe for Mom it was almost 50 

years. 

She remained in Castor 

until June of 2013 when she 

moved to Calgary. 

About a year later she 

moved to Paragon Place in 

Stettler and enjoyed her life 

there until she became ill 

during this past summer. 

She was residing at 

Points West in Stettler at 

the time of her passing. 

Some of the highlights of 

her life were derived when 

the grandchildren arrived. 

They were “her boys” and she loved 

them dearly, taking part in their activities 

from babies, to school age and into 

adulthood. 

She was so proud of all their accomplishments 

and the girls they chose to 

marry. 

She subsequently enjoyed the arrival 

of each of her great-grandchildren and 

great-great-grandchildren. 

She loved to take the “boys” camping 

with her or travelling to B.C. or other 

destinations and quite often the 

Turner boys were involved in some of 

the activities. 

They have some interesting stories 

to tell. 

She enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles 

hiding the last piece was something 

she did all the time, Chinese Checkers, 

especially with Evan, Bridge and 

Yahtzee. 

She enjoyed Ivor’s family and especially 

all the acquired nieces and 

nephews, many of whom have fond 

memories of “Auntie Helen”. 

She was an amazing lady and we all 

have fond memories of her and those 

who felt her wrath knew they had it 

coming. 

Enjoyed many 

visits to his home 

Tyler Neil Pals was born March 6, 

1987 in Castor, Ab. at Our Lady of the 

Rosary Hospital. 

Tyler came into this world with one 

of life’s hurdles. He was born with 

Cerebral Palsy. 

Tyler was the 

middle child of 

Philip and Shelly 

Pals. 

Tyler attended 

Gus Wetter School 

where he was 

included in the

of teacher aides over Pals 

the years. 

After Tyler graduated high school, 

he moved into his new home that 

Philip and Shelly purchased and renovated 

into the Group Home, where he 

lived with Katie and John for almost 11 

years. 

He was well cared for by his group 

home family. 

Tyler enjoyed seeing many visitors 

at his home including the many visits 

from his sisters and his two nieces. 

On Dec. 21, 2018 Tyler lost a battle to 

pneumonia. 

He is survived by his parents Philip 

and Shelly Pals, his older sister Stacy 

and her husband Anthony and nieces 

Aislyn and Bethany, his younger sister 

Jill and her husband Jordan and 

Tyler’s newest niece Kaylee, his

and Betty Filipenko and many aunts, 

uncles and cousins.

held on Fri. Dec. 28, 2018 at 2 p.m. in 

the Knox United Church, Castor, Ab. 

with Reverend Barbara Zimmerman 

officiating.

Spreading Christmas cheer 

by K. Smawley 

The entire Theresetta Junior 

High student body visited the 

Lodge on Thurs. Dec. 6 to 

spread some holiday cheer. 

The students made ornaments 

with the residents that 

expressed their Christmas 

wishes. 

The group had brought along 

a large Christmas tree cutout to 

hang on the wall and decorate 

with the residents’ wish 

ornaments. 

Some students took some time 

to play their favourite 

Christmas song on the piano 

and there was even a Christmas 

carol sing-a-long. 

Christmas concert 

On Thurs. Dec. 20, Theresetta 

presented its annual Christmas 

Concert night consisting of 

three separate plays. 

The elementary music classes 

were busy most of December 

practicing and polishing their 

musical for the Christmas 

Concert. 

Throughout the school there 

were some scurvy-looking 

pirates, some adorable elves and 

some dancing reindeer ready to 

put on a fun show! 

The students did a great job 

acting, dancing, and signing 

and the Pirate’s Christmas play 

was such a fun way to send the 

Theresetta community off into 

their Christmas break. 

Next up in the night, was the 

annual Grade 9 play written, 

conceptualized, acted, and 

directed by Mr. Reis and his 

Grade 9 Language Arts class. 

It was a comedic play about a 

Calgary Flames and Edmonton 

Oilers player’s reunion being 

double-booked at the Castor 

Community Hall. 

The students took on outgoing 

characters which provided 

many laughs. 

The play itself was based 

around a trivia challenge 

between the two hockey teams 

to see who won the right to use 

the hall, which allowed lots of 

hockey references to be weaved 

in. 

It was well written, and well 

performed by Theresetta’s 

group of Grade 9’s. 

Lastly, was the annual 

Nativity Scene play. 

The Grade 7/8 class provided 

the actors, and the narrators. 

The play was accompanied by 

a junior high choir group that 

helped tell the story of Jesus’ 

birth. 

The fabulous, musical and 

entertaining night ended on a 

high note, or rather a few high 

notes, as the junior high choir 

presented a special song to end 

the night. 

Christmas activities 

The Grade 1/2 Class spent a 

few days putting their letter 

writing skills to work to get 

their Christmas letters to Santa 

before the holidays. 

The Grade 1 - 4 students 

kicked off their last day of 

school on Dec. 21, with some 

Christmas fun. 

In the morning, the students 

got to decorate Christmas 

cookies, play Christmas bingo, 

and got to make a Christmas 

themed craft. 

After lunch the whole group, 

joined by some helpful parents, 

walked to the arena for skating! 

Concurrently, the Grade 5 - 9 

classes headed off to Stettler on 

Dec. 21 for some year end fun of 

their own. 

The 5/6 class started with a 

dip in the Stettler pool, while 

the Grade 7 - 9 students went 

bowling. 

After meeting up together for 

lunch, the whole group headed 

over to the Jewel Theatre for the 

magical, classic Christmas 

movie, The Santa Clause, to end 

their day. 

Basketball 

The girls basketball team has 

already put a few hard hours 

into practicing this year. 

The female Knights even 

managed to fit in two exhibition 

games before the break. 

The squad took on the 

Provost Angels on Dec. 12. 

It was a long road trip to their 

fellow East Central Division 

school, but Provost was so 

welcoming and the girls had a 

fun game putting to work their 

skills for the first time in the 

year. 

Coach Ries commented 

saying, “It was the first time my 

team has been able to make it to 

Provost for a game and both 

schools were happy to finally 

make the match-up happen.” 

The victorious Knights were 

back at it again the next day, as 

they took on the Killam 

Kougars. 

Trying to fine tune some 

plays, they worked hard but 

were defeated. 

The Knights will be back in 

Killam for the Kougar Classic, 

their first basketball tournament 

of the year, on January 11 

to 12. 

The male Knights travelled 

across town to take on the Gus 

Wetter Raiders on Dec. 11 for 

their first exhibition game of 

the year. 

The boys played hard, but lost 

out in the end. 

The boys travelled with the 

girls team the following day to 

Provost where they took on the 

Provost Saints. 

After rethinking some plays 

from their game the day before, 

the boys put in a good effort but 

were again defeated. 

“The team has learned a lot 

already from their two games,” 

said Coach Fink, “and the 

improvement from one game to 

another is a great sign for what 

is to come this season.” 

Jr. ATB Day 

On Dec. 13, kids participated 

in the last Jr. ATB day for the 

year. 

There were 11 employees 

present that helped with the 14 

deposits that were made. 

The winners of the monthly 

draws were Kyla Beaumont, 

Rylee Charbonneau, and Ashley 

Renschler. 

Students can save up all their 

money over the break and the 

Jr. ATB will be back at it again 

in the new year.
