Rear-end collision involving two semi-tractor trailer units 

J. Webster 

ECA Review 

Tow truck operators work to clean 

up and haul away what remains of the 

tractor-trailer unit pulling an empty 

tanker for West Coast Oilfield 

Services of Saskatoon, Sk. that hit a 

Tri-Line tractor-trailer from behind 

at approximately 4 a.m. Mon. Feb. 11 

at the corner of Hwy 12 and Sec. Hwy 

872 (Range Road 110) known as the 

Brownfield Road. 

According to the police report, poor 

road conditions due to recent snow 

fall causing low visibility was a 

leading factor in the collision. 

The leading tractor-trailer 

attempted to make a northbound turn 

onto the Brownfield Road from Hwy 

12 when the rear end collision 

occurred. 

According to John Thiessen, general 

manager for West Coast, the 

driver suffered a broken hip and 

facial lacerations. He was taken to the 

Castor Hospital and was expected to 

be transported to the U of A for 

surgery. 

The driver and lone occupant of the 

lead tractor-trailer unit was not 

injured.

Westview Co-op is investing more 

into East Central Alberta by purchasing 

Fox Lake Agro and Hanna 

Building Supplies. 

Although Westview Co-op already 

serves members and guests in 

Carstairs, Drumheller, Eagle Hill, 

Linden, Olds and Sundre, these will 

be the first locations to serve Consort 

and Hanna and the surrounding 

areas. 

“It’s important for us to evolve to 

serve our communities, which are 

also changing,” said Dennis Laing, 

General Manager of Westview Co-op. 

“When opportunities come along to 

expand our offering to Co-op members 

and guests by building on 

already respected local businesses, 

we have to take them.” 

Fox Lake Agro, located near 

Highway 9 in Hanna, serves guests 

through a dry fertilizer blending 

plan, bulk bin storage and an AWSAapproved 

warehouse for agricultural 

chemicals. 

Hanna Building Supplies operates 

a traditional home and building supplies 

for the ‘do-it-yourself’ person, as 

well as a suite of services specifically 

for contractors. 

This location in Hanna also provides 

outdoor enthusiasts with 

hunting and fishing supplies. 

A location in Consort, Ab. provides 

agriculture and building supplies and 

services. 

All three locations will officially 

becomes part of Westview Co-op on 

Feb. 15 once the conditional agreement 

is completed. 

“We’ve always made serving our 

communities a priority for our businesses,” 

said Dale Crowle, President 

of Fox Lake Agro and Hanna 

Building Supplies. 

“It was extremely important for us 

to make sure that our customers and 

communities were in good hands. 

“We’ve seen how everything that 

Westview Co-op does is exactly what 

our communities need. I’m confident 

they’ll continue to invest in these 

businesses and our communities,” 

said Crowle. 

This most recent addition to 

Westview Co-op builds on the recent 

purchase of Horseshoe Canyon Ag, 

formerly Tri West Agro Ltd. in 

October 2018. 

That site added granular fertilizer 

blending, seed and crop supplies services 

to Westview Co-op’s offerings in 

the Drumheller area. 

This acquisition is part of a larger 

growth trend across Co-ops in 

Western Canada, especially in the ag 

sector. 

Since 2017, 11 agriculture sites have 

been acquired by Co-ops in Alberta, 

Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

Forestburg Council News 

MyFlagstaff survey results 

shared with council 

Jody Pettigrew 


Shane Pospisil from New West 

Opportunities Inc. NWO met with 

Forestburg council on Feb 7, 2019 at a 

regular meeting to present the summary 

report on feedback that was 

received from the responses through 

community and stakeholder 

consultations. 

Flagstaff Intermunicipal 

Partnership (FIP) engaged New West 

Opportunities Inc., a consulting firm 

specialized in working with municipalities 

on governance issues, to 

consult with the public and stakeholders 

to find out the opinions 

residents have on the feasibility of 

potentially forming a single-tier government 

within the Flagstaff region. 

This engagement took place from 

November 2018 to January of this 

year through 12 community-wide 

meetings and information booths and 

nine smaller community resident/ 

seniors meetings across the Flagstaff 

region. 

The initiative to consider the possibility 

of a single-tier government arose 

from a need to explore all options of 

developing sustainability in the future. 

Residents were also able to share 

concerns through an information line 

which received 198 calls. 1,150 overview 

and background documents and 

questionnaires were distributed or 

downloaded from the MyFlagstaff 

website. 

There were 844 responses to the 

MyFlagstaff questionnaire, which 

asked people to share their opinions on 

the most important issues and challenges 

facing their household, business 

and municipal government and on the 

idea of regional 

governance. 

With about 10 

per cent of the 

regional population 

responding, 

it was found that 

there is not unanimous 

agreement 

on how the 

Flagstaff region 

could or should 

be governed at 

the municipal 

level. 

The results 

have identified 

the differing viewpoints 

ratepayers 

have on the issue. 

A statistically 

significant regionwide 

median of 

about 50 per cent 

of the respondents 

approve of moving 

forward with 

more detailed consideration 

of the 

single-tier governance 

model. 

The disapproval 

rate is also 

relatively high at 

44-46 per cent, 

however does not 

reflect the 

majority of 

respondents. 

Between 7-9 per 

cent of respondents

component to their response, indicating 

that they could support the 

single-tier governance model if a ‘good 

and fair’ deal was negotiated by on 

behalf of their municipality. 

With the rising cost of living, lack of 

jobs, high taxes and economic uncertainty, 

30-50 per cent of respondents 

listed personal financial concerns as 

the most important issue facing their 

household or business. 

Many people responded that they 

saw challenges facing their communities 

including poor internet services, 

lack of economic opportunities and 

increased cost of services. 

However, the most important challenge, 

with 30-50 per cent of those 

surveyed, is the declining, aging population 

which also contributes to the 

loss of small farms and lower school 

enrollment 

Twenty to 40 per cent suggested that 

the biggest areas of opportunity in 

these communities are in finding ways 

to attract new and younger residents to 

the area.

The Regional Governance Project 

currently remains in the exploratory 

stage and is focused on listening and 

learning from from the perspectives of 

those involved. 

The aim of this project is to assess 

and evaluate the information received 

so that all FIP communities and 

municipalities will be able to make 

fully-informed decisions moving 

forward. 

The next phase, if continued, would 

be non-binding on the participating 

communities and would take about 

six to eight months to gather more 

detailed information. 

FIP was established in 2003 to bring 

communities together to identify 

opportunities for increased intermunicipal 

collaboration aimed at 

providing more effective services and 

infrastructure across the region. 

The nine FIP communities include 

the Villages of Alliance, Forestburg, 

Heisler, Lougheed; the Towns of 

Daysland, Killam, Sedgwick, Hardisty 

and Flagstaff County. 

Since 2015, these communities have 

been involved in looking at ways to collaborate 

on sharing services in fair 

and reasonable ways. 

Like many rural areas throughout 

Canada, our region is facing many 

uncertainties and challenges, 

including the ongoing decline of residents 

and relatively small population 

of 8,500. 

It is noted that Sedgewick is not currently 

a participating community in 

the FIP Regional Governance Project 

initiative.

Collective cooking: a strategy for communities 

to eat affordably 

Collective cooking groups bring 

communities together to fight rising 

food costs. 

According to Statistics Canada, the 

cost of food in Canada has risen 

steadily over the last five years. Both 

collective kitchens and community 

kitchens make it possible for people to 

reduce their grocery bills while still 

eating a healthy diet. 

Collective kitchens 

Collective cooking as a grassroots 

movement first began in Montreal in 

the 1980s. Today, so-called collective 

kitchens bring people together to 

choose recipes, buy groceries and 

cook. After making a meal, they divide 

it into many portions for members to 

enjoy at home. It usually ends up 

costing each person about one dollar 

per portion. 

Community kitchens 

In community kitchens, the focus is 

on educating people about cooking and 

healthy eating. They often operate out 

of community centres, churches or 

schools. Instead of people pooling their 

money together to buy groceries, the 

kitchen provides the food, and staff or 

volunteers to oversee the meal 

preparation. 

If you can’t find a collective cooking 

group in your area, consider starting 

your own with a group of friends or 

neighbours. Sharing the costs of groceries 

and the burden of cooking is a 

great way to eat healthy while on a 

budget. 

Personal finance 

tips for freelancers 

When freelancing is your main 

source of income, it can be difficult 

to maintain a budget. 

Here are tips for managing your 

finances as a freelancer. 

Estimate your income for budgeting 

purposes 

To determine your projected 

monthly income as a freelancer, 

figure out what you expect to earn 

from your regular clients. 

Then, approximate the total 

amount that you think you’ll earn 

from one-off and non-regular 

clients. 

Divide this number in half and 

add it to your estimated earnings 

from regular clients. Using the 

resulting amount as your 

monthly income will allow you 

to make a budget that has a builtin 

buffer in case it’s a slow 

month. 

Keep a separate account for 

business expenses 

Have separate business and personal 

bank accounts so you can 

keep track of work expenses like 

soft ware and office equipment. 

You should also have at least one 

savings account that you contribute 

to regularly. 

As a freelancer with irregular 

income, it’s especially important to 

have savings. 

Four ways to teach young 

kids about personal finance 

The earlier children develop good 

spending habits, the better. Here are 

four ways you can teach your kids 

about saving money and living 

frugally. 

1. Pay in cash. Using cash instead of 

cards when shopping with kids will 

help them better understand how 

money works. Consider giving them 

the cash to count out when it’s time to 

pay — they’ll get to practice their math 

skills. 

2. Show the benefits of comparing 

prices. Encourage kids to look for the 

lowest prices at the store and figure 

out if you’ll get a 

better deal by 

spending more to 

buy larger quantities. 

Make it 

into a game to see 

who can spot the 

best deal first. 

3. Set tangible 

goals. Let kids 

know that you’re 

saving as a 

household for 

something they 

want (such as a trip to Disney World or 

a pool for the backyard). This will help 

teach them about cutting out unnecessary 

expenses to save for something 

bigger down the road. 

4. Let them do the grocery shopping. 

If your kids are older, have them 

choose their meals for the week, then 

make an ingredients list, find the items 

needed at the store and pay for everything 

in cash. 

Taking the time to teach kids how to 

spend money responsibly will help prepare 

them for a lifetime of good 

financial habits.

Plan for taxes 

When you aren’t an employee, you need to 

set aside around 25 per cent of your income 

for taxes. Make sure to keep all invoices and 

payment receipts so you’re prepared for tax 

season. 

If you work from home, you’ll likely be able 

to claim things like internet bills and office 

supplies as business expenses on your taxes. 

Since taxes for freelancers are particularly 

complicated, it’s a good idea to hire an 

ac countant to do your taxes so you don’t make 

mistakes or miss possible deductions. 

Tax changes happen ever year whether you are a corporation, sole proprietor, partnership, farm, 

business or an employee. Endeavor can help you navigate these tax changes and help put more 

tax dollars in your pocket for you and your family. 

Endeavor has a team of 17 members comprised of Chartered Professional Accountants, a 

Professional Agrologist, Senior Accountant, CPA Articling Students and accounting support staff 

to meet the needs of your business, farm and personal tax reporting no matter the size. 

We work with clients big and small in the following areas: 

• Tax estimates for both corporate and personal

Three Hills 

Thrashers 

seek new 

head coach 

by Steven Ibbotson 

The Three Hills Thrashers board 

of directors have decided they will 

have some new personnel behind the 

bench for next season and are beginning 

the search for a new head coach. 

After 11 seasons with the Thrashers, 

two as an assistant coach and nine 

years as Head Coach, Ian Hall will not 

be returning as the team’s bench boss 

next season. 

According to Board Chair Landis 

Stankievech, “Ian has been tireless in 

his efforts and kept the team competitive 

for many years. Volunteers like 

that are hard to come by. This decision 

was not made 

lightly but we feel 

it is necessary for 

the team to move 

ahead in the years 

to come.” 

Applications for 

the Head 

Coaching position 

with the Three 

Hills Thrashers 

Jr B Hockey Club 

can be sent via 

email to thrashersmanager@ 

gmail.com. 

Coach Hall 

was behind the 

bench along with 

his assistants for 

the remaining 

games this 

season.

Trochu Boys pick up 

first place zone curling 

title in 32 years 

Terri Huxley 


An easily obtained banner has sent 

the Trochu Senior Boys Curling Team 

off to provincials in March after a 

weekend bonspiel. 

Bow Valley and Cochrane High 

Schools hosted the South Central 

Senior High Zone on Sat. Feb 9 where 

Trochu faced off against Drumheller, 

Olds, Cremona, Bow Valley and 

Cochrane in round robin and playoff 

matches. 

Coach Louis Perrault found the team 

made it look easy after winning all of 

their matches undefeated with many 

games ending early due to the point 

difference. 

“It’s pretty awesome. The boys are 

pretty excited,” said Perrault. “They 

won the round robin then they won the 

two playoff games so they went five 

and ‘o’ for the weekend so they did awesome. 

They curled very well.” 

The team’s final match was against 

Olds where they won 13 – 1, claiming 

the banner and gold medals. 

Olds automatically took silver after 

the game while Cremona took bronze. 

Trochu has not won a zone title since

The team consists of four Grade 11 

boys. 

Two curl in a Red Deer league while 

one curls in Three Hills regularly and 

the fourth player has never curled 

before this year. 

“I said ‘Well let’s take this as a 

learning experience’ because hopefully 

they can go next year as well,” 

Perrault continued. 

Alberta’s top 10 teams from each 

division including Trochu are set to 

travel to St. Paul come March 6 - 9 for 

provincials. 

The school is hosting the boys, girls 

and mixed curling championships 

together where a banquet and opening 

ceremony will be held among other 

unique qualities to the tournament. 

Coach Perrault hopes to fit a few 

more practices in before the final 

bonspiel. 

“There will be some practice ice 

times. We are trying to get some ice 

times in Three Hills so we will have a 

couple or three practices. Two of the 

boys still curl in their Red Deer 

leagues so we have to work around 

their schedule,” he said.

No simple answers 

to the Asian tiger 

Brenda Schimke 


We’re caught in the middle and it’s 

not looking good. 

China President Xi Jinping’s power 

grab to legislate himself leader for life, 

embrace populism rhetoric to 

demonize Canada and detain three 

Canadian hostages, and America’s 

verbal and trade attacks on Canada 

has created a massive China mess. 

“ 

Canada, through 

The extradition order by the United 

States to arrest Huawei’s Chief 

Financial Officer, Ming Wanzhou, was 

a bad omen. And when President 

Trump tweeted that Wanzhou could be 

used as a bargaining chip in his trade 

war with China, Canada, through no 

fault of their own, was put on a collision 

course with China. 

When then–Ambassador John 

McCallum came out and mused that 

there was a good case not to extradite 

Wanzhou to the United States because 

of Trump’s political interference, it 

was wishful thinking that his comments 

might diffuse China’s fury, but, 

alas, the only outcome was the 

Ambassador’s firing. 

It’s interesting how mad China is at 

Canada yet we are one of only two 

countries allowing Huawei to use their 

G5 technology. 

On the other hand, the United States 

and all other democracies are pressuring 

both Canada and Great Britain 

to cease their business relationship

with Huawei with the threat it may 

jeopardize their willingness to share 

future intelligence. 

Except for former Prime Minister 

Harper’s tough stance on China when 

first elected, Canadian politicians, 

business people and universities have 

played soft ball with them–more concerned 

about markets, investment and 

profits than potential consequences of 

playing nice with a powerful 

Communist country. 

We’ve accepted millions of dollars 

of Chinese investment in our universities, 

allowed Chinese oligarchs to buy 

up Vancouver real estate, gave permanent 

residency cards to their rich and 

powerful, including Wanzhou, 

approved takeovers of significant 

Canadian corporations by Chinese 

state-owned entities, and even turned 

a blind eye to Chinese drug money 

being laundered through B.C. casinos. 

It’s truly unfortunate the United 

States has decided to withdraw just as 

China is seriously challenging for 

world domination through bullying 

and financial support of autocratic 

market economies. 

Canada needs to get smarter and 

tougher dealing with autocratic 

regimes, but to stave off this Asian 

tiger, the United States, the European 

Union, Australia, New Zealand, 

Canada and hopefully India will need 

to unite and speak with one voice 

against China’s trade practices and 

human rights violations. 

The fact that few democracies have 

supported Canada against either 

China or Saudi Arabia’s unfair attacks 

on our citizens or rule of law clearly 

shows the prevalence of nationalism 

and bunker mentality amongst our 

allies. 

Until the United States recognizes 

the error of their ways, Canada’s best 

hope is to implore all other liberal 

democracies to unify and stand up to 

China’s bullying, then pray the United 

States will be back before it’s too late.

Who does the MLA represent? 

 

by Herman Schwenk 

We need to take a serious look at who 

does your MP and MLA really 

represent. 

Are they representing the people 

who elected them or are they representing 

the party? 

It seems to me that the 

last three Alberta premier’s 

were promoting the aspirations 

of either the 

bureaucracy and/or the 

party. 

I did not see any demand 

from the public for them to 

be running deficit budgets. 

Your MLA is told how to 

vote by the party whip on Schwenk 

government policy. 

I believe in most cases 

even opposition MLA’s are told how to 

vote on “party” policy. 

For the two terms that they were 

official opposition some Wildrose 

MLA’s did vote in the interests of their

constituents. 

Perhaps a bit of history would be in 

order for us to understand what has 

been really happening politically in 

Alberta. 

While we have consistently had 

majority governments, we 

have not had what I would 

describe as good government 

since the beginning of Ralph 

Klein’s fourth term. 

He had us back to a balanced 

budget and the debt paid off by 

the end of his third term. 

After that accomplishment 

he lost his focus and issues 

went sideways to the point that 

he only received 54 per cent of 

support at an annual meeting. 

He stepped down and was 

replaced by Ed Stelmach. 

Under that leadership, we started 

running deficit budgets that have consistently 

grown worse since that time.

‘Bluster, rhetoric and anecdote but...low on facts’ 

Dear Editor, 

I have a few thoughts on last week’s 

editorial “Simply Unsustainable” but 

first, I have to apologize for a mistake 

on my letter last week. 

The sentence that said “When plants 

appeared on the scene...” should have 

read “When flowering plants appeared 

on the scene...” 

I caught it as soon as I read it in the 

paper and should have proof-read it 

better. Facts matter, especially 

regarding the thorny subject of climate 

change and I regret the mistake. 

In “Simply Unsustainable”, the 

author makes too many claims and 

statements to address in this brief, limited 

format without the ability to show 

graphs or images, but I will attempt to 

address two in this letter. 

The first is the claim that extreme

Dear Editor, 

Climate Change Part 1. 

As a science teacher and student of 

science developments all my life, I 

would be amused by the handling of 

several ‘science’ issues today if they 

did not have such serious 

consequences. 

One such is climate change (earlier 

known as climate warming).

He quit after one term and was 

replaced by Allison Redford. 

She thought she was entitled to 

spend money like she was a sovereign. 

Her spending (especially for herself) 

was so outrageous that she was forced 

to resign after 2 1/2 years by her own 

caucus. 

Redford and Stelmach were compromised 

candidates as they were elected 

on second ballot by a proportional 

voting system in their leadership 

contests. 

Jim Prentice, a former conservative 

cabinet minister from the Stephen 

Harper government, won the nomination 

to replace Redford and was sworn 

in as premier. 

He called an early election saying 

that he needed a mandate to deal with 

the deficit. 

What he really thought was that 

there was no way the NDP were a 

serious election threat and the 

Wildrose were not yet a threat due to 

the defection of Danielle Smith and 

most of her caucus to the PC Party. 

In other words, he was looking over 

his right shoulder instead of his left 

and saw an opportunity. 

Well, we all know what happened. 

He won only 10 seats to the NDP’s 55 so 

he rightly resigned his seat.

Climate change 

losing steam 

Dear Editor, 

Finally the climate change is losing 

steam. 

This myth is following the same path 

as the bleeding of patients by physicians 

to make them better, tomatoes 

are poisonous to eat, the Y2K myths, 

and the 1970’s documentaries warnings 

us of an immediate ice age (which 

may be actually happening). 

The flu pandemic and finally the 

greatest myth and well practised claim 

that the oceans are going to rise when 

the North Pole ice pack melts by 2080. 

This ice pack is almost entirely 

floating so if melting occurs the ice 

will be naturally replaced by ocean 

water and levels will recede. 

Fact: Ice takes up 9.5 per cent more 

space than water, ice is lighter in 

weight than water and finally earth’s 

surface is 71 per cent oceans and 29 per 

cent land. 

If ten feet of water over the entire 

land mass somehow found its way into 

the oceans, the levels would only rise 

less than three feet. 

To prove this fact take a container 

like a water glass and fill it with water 

and ice to where the water in the glass 

is completely full. 

The ice will float 20 per cent above 

the glass and when it melts, the water 

will not spill over but will recede below 

the previous completely full mark. 

More facts: Climate change was 

largely instigated by a small number of 

people in the United Nations (UN) to 

redistribute wealth from industrial 

countries to underdeveloped countries. 

One part of this program is working 

– extorting money from you and me by 

inefficient and wasteful governments. 

Fact: the climate change theory was 

based on models, not reality and estimates 

of warming have gone wrong. 

They are down from eight degrees to 

five degrees and now two degrees. 

In actual fact, the warming has been 

less than one degree. I think it is time 

for individuals and governments to 

realize the giant myth and let us spend 

our hard earned money where it will 

do some worldly good. 

My ideas are from facts and common 

sense, not formal education which 

seems to have convinced some very 

smart people into believing this inconvenient 

and costly myth. 

My next step is forming and organizing 

an action that will hire lawyers 

and file lawsuits against individuals 

and organizations that are promoting 

these myths that are costing us dearly. 

We could fund it with our carbon tax 

money and collect millions in damages 

from these sources and put into achievable 

goals.

Hanna, Ab. 

What Prentice and his advisers did 

not see was that the public was so sick 

and tired of the old PC politics that 

people held their nose and voted NDP 

just to get rid of them. 

However, what we did was jump out 

of the frying pan into the fire. 

You can see that the NDP are using 

the old party mold for developing 

policy, implementing policy from the 

top and feeding it down to the people. 

The MLA’s were told how to vote. 

This was not grassroots policy. They 

knew what was best for us. 

Maybe it is time to look at a different 

model. 

Independent MLA’s do not have to 

tip-toe on a party line, they would vote 

for policy that is in the interests of the 

people that elected them. 

It is obvious that the UCP under 

Jason Kenney has gone back to the old 

model and is ignoring the policy and 

constitution passed at the UCP 

founding convention. 

I think we may have the opportunity 

to vote for independent candidates in 

some ridings in this election. 

If Independents held the balance of 

power like the Green’s in BC that 

would sure change the way business is 

being done now. 

To get real democratic policies, there 

does need to be change. 

over intellectual honesty) are all 

responsible for where we are at today. 

What the public and journalists that 

are providing them with supposedly 

trustworthy information do not understand 

is that two words being used are 

foreign to science – “settled” and 

“consensus”. 

No truly honest, unbiased and truthseeking 

scientist will ever use these 

terms in a scientific paper, debate or 

discussion. 

These are political terms that are to 

close discussion and debate to further 

an agenda. 

This leads to political rather than 

scientific attacks on people as sceptics 

or deniers as they promote their particular 

economic agendas – electric 

cars, solar and wind power, carbon 

pricing, et cetera. 

The actual fact is, good scientists are 

always sceptics by examining data, 

finding new data, proposing theories 

and adjusting them or abandoning 

them as new data is found. 

They never adjust data to fit the 

models (as we see happening) but 

adjust their model to fit new data. 

They are always open to new studies. 

In fact, if 100 studies support 

Conclusion A but only one study 

Pollutant release a 

real problem 


The most accurate and rational 

article that I have found related to this 

subject is “Tropical Hurricanes in the 

Age of Global Warming” by Paul 

Homewood of the Global Warming 

Policy Foundation. 

This article looks at the actual numbers 

and many different methods of 

tracking these tropical storms over 

the years and comes to the conclusion 

that “ there is little evidence that 

global warming has resulted in more 

hurricanes, or more intense ones.” 

On the contrary, evidence confirms 

that hurricane and major hurricane 

frequency has been as great in many 

prior periods as it has been recently. 

The main problem with this issue is 

that climate change alarmists are conflating 

our increased ability to use 

modern technology to observe, track 

and report on these events with their 

false hypothesis that these events are 

increasing in frequency due to global 

warming. 

Another claim that the author 

makes is that “the earth is warming at 

unprecedented rates - 10 times faster 

than during the ice age warming.” 

The three most highly cited combined 

land temperature and surface 

sea temperature data sets are NOAA’s 

MLOST, NASA’s GISTEMP, and the 

UK’s HadCRUT. 

They all show a very gradual 

warming of about 1 1/2 degrees 

Celsius since the beginning of the 

Industrial Revolution which conveniently 

coincides with the end of the 

Little Ice Age. 

These numbers are certainly not 

unprecedented and may not even be 

above margins of error in the data 

sets. They also do not take into 

account the urban heat island effect or 

the fact that scientists who are the 

keepers of these data sets refuse to 

release their raw data for public 

scrutiny. 

To quote Phil Jones, HadCRUT scientist, 

“Why should I make the data 

available to you, when your aim is to 

supports Conclusion B, that means 

that A is faulty and must be changed or 

discarded, or at best kept with 

reservations. 

Do we find this honest discussion 

happening today? 

No, we hear only a political viewpoint 

from both politicians and 

journalists. 

In fact, I am disappointed to see that 

the ECA Review has fallen prey to this 

globalist political agenda. 

There are thousands of dissenting 

scientific studies with available data 

that can be studied and replicated 

which true scientists would do. 

But what we see instead are 

ignoring, dismissing and religious 

worship of these Intergovernmental 

Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 

models which do not predict 

accurately. 

This is politically motivated, not scientifically 

motivated. 

And now we have new credible data 

from NASA which supports 

Conclusion B. 

How will it be handled? 

That needs to be the subject of 

another letter.

Killam, Ab. 

try to find something wrong with it!” 

The data set that is the most damaging 

to the author’s statement is the 

UAH Satellite Based Temperature set. 

It only goes back to 1979 since we 

have not had satellites covering the 

globe for very long, but it shows a net 

gradual warming of 1/4 of a degree 

Celsius since then. 

This data set is unique in that it 

relies on uniform, accurate temperatures 

from the entire surface of the 

earth and it therefore has little or no 

margin of error. 

If I were to use the tactics of the 

alarmists, I could even argue that the 

temperature has decreased by 1/4 of a 

degree since 1998 by focusing only on 

the data since 1998 when the temperatures 

peaked at 1/2 of a degree over 

the 1979 temperature, but of course I 

would never do that! 

One thing I do agree with the author 

on, is the lack of sustainability of putting 

“real” pollutants into the 

environment worldwide, but especially 

in Southeast Asia. 

Real pollutants include particulates, 

ozone, SO2, NOX, fertilizers and pesticides 

in surface and groundwater, 

heavy metals, etc. 

The release of these pollutants into 

the global ecosystem is a real problem 

and humanity needs to address this 

problem, but CO2 is not a “real” 

pollutant. 

It, along with sunshine and water is 

a driver of photosynthesis, which 

makes all life possible on earth. 

It has been demonstrated in multiple 

peer reviewed scientific papers that it 

was many times more abundant in the 

past with positive consequences for 

the environment. 

It would be of benefit if we could 

instantly double or triple CO2’s concentration 

worldwide. 

This is another reason why I am so 

against the shutting down of our clean 

coal electricity generation plants in 

Alberta, but that is another story.

Well-rounded student 

receives $100,000 

national scholarship 

Terri Huxley 


Matthew Trefiak of Edgerton, 

Ab., has won the national Loran 

Scholars Foundation after a rigorous 

selection process. 

The foundation chose Trefiak 

from a pool of 5,089 applicants 

where character is key. 

The Grade 12 student’s unique 

agricultural background, drive and 

well-rounded nature was what set 

him apart from other applicants 

according to Loran Scholars 

Foundation Senior Director of 

Programs, Heather Spratt. 

“He was just so curious,” she 

began. “He was really engaged. He 

wanted to know everything about 

everybody in the room and he had 

this beautiful kindness about him 

and also he is proud of his place 

and who he is and the community 

that he comes from. 

“He’s really proud of the people 

that he works with and the younger 

4-H people that he’s helped to 

mentor. 

“He has a lot of pride in his 

school but at the same time, you 

know he’s got a little edge of 

humility. 

“He knows he is a person of his 

place and of his community and he 

just wants to make it the best that 

he can,” concluded Spratt. 

Wainwright High School has 

nominated students for the past 10 

years but Trefiak is the first to 

make it to the semi-finals, let alone 

being entered into the elite class of 

scholars. 

He is in the top-three for highest 

grades in his classes although 

much time is spent buying, selling 

and showing hereford and black 

angus cattle at home.

OBITUARIES 

Liked to do things for others 

Donald Lee Davidson was born July 

26, 1925 to Ralph and Margaret 

Davidson in the east bedroom of their 

home east of Alliance. He 

passed away Feb. 4, 2019 at the 

age of 93. 

Don grew up on the farm 

with his older siblings Tom 

and Mary. 

He attended Southbend 

School until Grade 8, then 

Alliance School, before 

attending Olds College where 

he obtained his high school 

and agricultural diplomas. 

After graduating he took 

over the family farm from his 

Dad and Uncle Lee. 

In 1958, he married Lila Ferguson 

and they raised five children. They 

were happily married for 56 years. 

His farm was his whole life and 

moving out of his home was something 

that he never wanted to do. 

He wanted to be where he could care 

Davidson 

for his animals. 

Don strongly believed that if you 

wanted to have a community you had 

to support that community. 

That included everything 

from shopping at local businesses 

to giving time and 

money to local 

organizations. 

Don was involved on the 

farm and in the community 

to the day he died. He fed his 

cows that morning; he had 

coffee with his friends, and 

was planning to attend an 

Ag Society meeting that 

night. 

Don died like he lived, never quitting. 

Don believed that when the going 

gets tough you just keep putting one 

foot in front of the other and that was 

what he did to the last moments of his 

life. 

He was the kind of person who liked 

to do things for others, not the kind 

that wanted others to do things for 

him. 

We know that on his last day he did 

not intend to put anyone through that 

much stress and worry. 

Don is survived by his children 

Jennifer (Ralph) Boone, Frances 

(Craig) Holte, Maggie Davidson, Ralph 

(Beth) Davidson and Helen (Steve 

Madge) Davidson. 

Also his grandchildren Jennette 

(Chris) Corsi, Cliff (Sanah Sidhu) 

Boone, Heather (Chris) Robblee, 

Michelle Holte, Cassandra (Devon 

Bizuk) Holte, Jeffrey (Rebecca) Holte, 

Brianna Madge, Tyler Madge and 

Kevin Davidson. 

And also his great-grandchildren 

Leonardo Corsi, Coraline Robblee, 

Silas Robblee, Callahan Robblee, 

Josephine Bizuk, Danielle Bizuk and 

Brieal Rath. As well as numerous 

extended family members, neighbours 

and friends. 

He was predeceased by his wife Lila, 

his parents Ralph and Margaret, his 

brother Tom and his sister Mary 

Ferguson. 

A memorial service was held at the 

Alliance Community Hall on Sun. Feb. 

10. 

Donation in Don’s memory may be 

made to Alliance Volunteer Fire 

Department (cheques payable to the 

Village of Alliance) or the Alliance 

United Church, or a charity of the 

donor’s choice. 

Appreciation and thanks 

As a family, we truly appreciate that 

in the end, the community that he 

loved so much came out in droves to 

show how much they loved him in 

return. 

From the bottom of our hearts, we 

thank everyone from the Alliance 

community and beyond who came out 

on a dangerously cold night and drove 

every snow filled back road and oil 

lease until Don was found. 

Always proud of his herd 

John Harvey (Bud) McFarland was 

born May 10, 1931 at Hardisty, Ab. to 

parents Cecil and Winnifred 

McFarland. 

He lived with his parents at Battle 

Bend, east of Alliance, where they 

owned a quarter of CPR land. 

He was nicknamed 

Buddy by 

his mother, in reference 

to his 

father’s Irish 

heritage. 

In 1934, Cecil and 

Winnie purchased 

two quarters of 

land south of 

Forestburg along 

the Battle River 

where they raised 

cattle and owned horses. 

McFarland 

Growing up, Bud assumed a lot of 

responsibility farming and tending the 

cattle since his father’s WWI injury 

occasionally caused him to be 

hospitalized. 

One of those times he came home 

from school and found his mother had 

been knocked down by a cow and 

among other injuries, had a fractured 

leg. 

She was admitted to the hospital and 

Bud stayed home alone to do the farm 

work with the help of a neighbour. 

When growing up, to help earn 

income, Bud would use his “stone 

boat” sleigh to haul water, firewood 

and anything else his neighbours 

needed. 

He regularly picked up the milk cans 

for the neighbours to haul to the 

creamery in Forestburg, which was 

hard work for a young man. 

Bud left home as a young teen to go 

to work. 

He worked in the underground 

mines in Drumheller, then building 

the railroad north from Halkirk to the 

Cordel Coal Mine. 

He worked for local farmers and 

then moved to the Fuller farm and 

worked for Lou Fuller. 

This is where he met Joyce and they 

were married Jan. 5, 1951. 

For a short time, Bud and Joyce 

lived with Joyce’s great-grandmother 

and Bud worked at an underground 

mine near Forestburg. 

When Bud’s parent’s health declined 

the next spring, they took over their 

family farm. 

In March of 1953, they purchased 

and moved to their own farm south of 

the Battle River where they remained 

and raised their nine children. 

They raised horses and cattle. 

He was always proud of his herd. 

Every Saturday morning was spent 

riding through the hills counting 

cattle. 

Bud owned a large farm but never 

liked to work alone so he rented out the 

farmland to work at other jobs. 

He worked at a variety of jobs 

including underground mining, farm 

labourer, owning and operated a 

water-well boring machine powered by 

a heavy horse and forestry jobs in the 

winter. 

He settled into the job he held for 

years at the Cordel Coal Mine where 

he remained until his retirement. 

He was always proud to show others 

the picture which he received at his 

retirement of him with his coal-hauler 

truck. 

Bud loved to visit; many cups of 

coffee and stories were shared at 

neighbours’ tables over the years. 

His favourite outings were camping, 

travelling around visiting relatives 

and attending rodeos in Alberta, 

which him and Joyce both loved. 

They enjoyed attending the Ponoka 

Stampede yearly, sitting with the same 

people every year. 

He was involved with the Paintearth 

Light Horse Club and a member of the 

Halkirk Elks Club. 

After Joyce passed away, Bud 

remained on the farm until late 

summer of 2014, but with his declining 

health, made the decision to move off 

of the farm. 

After a year at the Paintearth Lodge 

in Castor he transferred to Points West 

Living in Stettler for two and a half 

years and spent his last year in 

Extended Care in Castor. 

Bud passed away peacefully at the 

Our Lady of the Rosary Hospital Long 

Term Care Facility in Castor, Ab. on 

Sun. Feb. 3, 2019 at 87 years of age. 

Funeral services were held at 

Evangelical Missionary Church on 

Sat. Feb. 9, 2019 at 2 p.m. with Pastor 

Brent Siemens officiating. 

Winston McFarland gave the eulogy 

and several family members shared 

memories and tributes to Bud and 

many stories were told of their love for 

him. 

Musicians and singers Trish Kirby, 

Debbie Weeks and Heather Poettcker 

offered their gifts of music. 

Interment will take place in Castor 

Cemetery where he will be laid to rest 

with his loving wife, Joyce. 

Pallbearers were his beloved grandsons: 

Lance, Clint, Jason, Brett, 

Mitchell, Leighton, Blayne and 

Nicholas. 

Family and friends gathered in the 

Upper Hall for a time of fellowship and 

a luncheon by Ann Michelsen and 

staff.

Clearview 

Rural partnership shows 

real academic gains 

At the Alberta School Boards 

Association (ASBA) Zone 4 meeting 

Jan. 28 in Stettler, Division and Board 

officials from Clearview Public 

Schools and Wolf Creek Public Schools 

(WCPS) shared the successes of joint 

efforts between the two school divisions, 

aimed at creating strong, flexible 

instructional access and curricular 

outcomes for rural students. 

School board Trustees from around 

Zone 4 heard how Enhanced Learning 

Models (ELM) create flexible learning 

environments by integrating multiple 

technologies, which has led to positive 

results and an increase in high school 

completion. Those technologies include 

digital content delivered in a platform 

accessible anywhere, anytime for 

students. 

“The needs of rural Alberta schools 

vary from those in more urban environments,” 

said Peter Barron, 

Superintendent. “The ELM supports 

the current work of our teachers and is 

especially helpful to beginning 

teachers and those teaching outside of 

their training. 

“These additional supports are welcome 

solutions to some complex 

challenges,” said Barron. 

Clearview and WCPS began ELMs 

in the 2016 - 2017 school year, before 

partnering together in June 2018. A 

crucial part of the assessment success 

has been the two boards covering the 

cost for students to access Rock the 

Diploma, an intensive preparatory session 

for students wanting to perform 

well on diploma exams. 

This past school year, there were 

more than 540 WCPS students and 62 

Clearview students who took advantage 

of their respective board’s offering 

to fund Rock the Diploma 

preparations. 

“Clearview is fortunate to be 

involved in a cooperative agreement 

between rural divisions that is having 

such a positive result for our students,” 

said Board Chair Greg Hayden. 

“We are unique boards with unique 

issues but common goals—student 

success. 

“Partnerships like our relationship 

with Wolf Creek on Rock the Diploma 

and the Enhanced Learning Model, 

put our smaller rural divisions on 

equal footing with the larger divisions 

by providing a number of hours of 

intense instruction by selected master 

teachers to compliment the great work 

of our local teachers,” said Hayden. 

“The improvement in diploma 

results has been amazing and appears 

reproducible. Our students are excited 

and are embracing Rock the Diploma 

as a real opportunity. 

“As a board we are excited and 

thankful for the partnership opportunity 

for Clearview,” concluded Hayden. 

If parents or students are interested 

in learning more about flexible high 

school delivery through the ELM or 

how Rock the Diploma can help them, 

contact your school principal for more 

information. 

Won World Champion Hereford 


Trefiak is a fourth generation 

farmer and his family has celebrated 

their 25th annual bull 

sale recently. 

On the side, he is a 4-H 

Alberta Ambassadors for the 

Northeast Region. 

Sandra Grunow, a counsellor 

and teacher at Wainwright 

High School, has known 

Trefiak for a number of 

years and viewed him as the 

school’s ‘go-to’ student for 

school-wide events and other 

leadership positions. 

“Matthew has always been 

a go-to kid in our school 

when it comes to getting kids 

to step up to do something or 

to help out running schoolwide 

events. 

“Matthew can be the quiet 

leader in the background 

and he can also be the guy in 

the front motivating kids to 

be apart of a bigger thing,” 

said Grunow. 

On a personal level, 

Grunow admitted she had 

shed a few tears of joy after 

hearing the news. 

“It was really impactful 

and it’s a wonderful organization 

and I mean $100,000 – I 

mean knowing that it will help 

pay for his first degree . . . I’m 

just so proud of him. He’s just 

an awesome kid,” she said. 

“Everything that he has ever 

gotten in life he has worked for. 

It’s that nothing that has been 

handed down to him has been a 

gift. He worked hard every 

minute of every day from 

working the farm to selling his 

cattle to showing his cattle. 

Matthew misses a ton of 

school and I would say he 

always maintains his academics,” 

said Grunow. 

Announcements were made 

on Sat. Feb. 2. This was a day 

Trefiak is not likely to forget 

after he also won Champion 

Hereford of the World while in 

Fort Worth, Texas for the 

Hereford of the World 

Competition two hours prior to 

the announcement. 

“It’s quite humbling and overwhelming 

for sure. I mean I still 

haven’t really come to terms 

with it I guess. It’s all been a 

whirlwind,” said Trefiak. 

“ 

It’s quite 

humbling and 

overwhelming for

haven’t really come to 

terms with it I guess. 

It’s all been a

TREFIAK 

Each scholar receives opportunities 

to explore, develop and 

share their various talents over 

four years in an undergraduate 

study at one of 25 Canadian 

Universities that have partnered 

with Loran. 

Valued at $100,000, each 

Loran Award includes an 

annual stipend of $10,000 and 

matching tuition waiver, access 

to $10,000 in funding for 

summer internships, one-onone 

mentorship and annual 

retreats and scholar 

gatherings. 

The selection process began 

by reading applications from 

the northern alberta area by 

two trained volunteers. 

From there, 20 applicants are 

selected and asked to come in 

for four interviews within a full 

day. 

Three individuals including 

Trefiak were chosen from that 

pool to proceed to the national 

level where more interviewing 

took place in Toronto. 

“She tried to play it off and 

pretend that I wasn’t going to 

get in and it really had me 

kind of sweating beads while 

I was sitting there on the 

phone,” he said. 

“Then she said ‘But, you 

know if you’d like to spend 

more time with us we’d love 

to have you as one of the 

scholars’ and it was like holy! 

So it was quite the day.” 

For Trefiak, he plans to 

leave the ranch to attend the 

University of Saskatchewan 

where he will take Animal 

Biosciences as an undergraduate 

for Veterinary Sciences. 

From there, he hopes to 

return home and open up a 

large animal/reproduction 

clinic. 

Being proud of his hometown, 

representing 

Wainwright and the rural 

way of life on such a large 

scale has been the cherry on 

top. 

“I never expected to get even 

to the finals so I mean I’m very 

proud to bring Wainwright and 

rural Alberta view to the table 

because there was not very 

many of them so it was fun. It 

was really fun being there,” 

said Trefiak. 

In its 30th year, 35 students 

were selected to join the elite 

class of scholars. 

If you enjoy writing 

we have a casual position for you, 

covering council meetings in

Livestock semi tractor 

trailer rollover near Hanna 

Submitted 

The Hanna RCMP, Hanna/Special 

Areas Fire and Hanna EMS responded 

to a call of a rolled over semi tractortrailer 

hauling cattle on Highway 36 

north of Township Road 340 on Feb. 11, 

2019, at 12:30 p.m. 

The investigation determined that 

while going around a curve on Hwy 36 

the load of cattle shifted and caused 

the semi to lose control and roll over 

onto the passenger side. 

The semi unit came to a stop in the 

ditch after skidding for approximately 

60 meters. 

The driver, who had non-life threatening 

injuries, was transported to the 

Hanna Hospital by EMS. 

The Hanna Fire Department utilized 

their livestock containment system to 

prevent the cattle from roaming free 

along the highway. 

Of the 42 head of cattle on the trailer, 

two were euthanized at the scene by 

the RCMP. 

No charges are being laid in this 

investigation. 

Male charged after fatal motor 

vehicle collision 

A 30-year-old male from Calgary is 

facing a number of charges after Oyen 

RCMP investigated a fatal collision 

yesterday. 

On February 10, 2019, at approximately 

9:00 p.m., Oyen RCMP 

responded to the scene located on 

Highway 9 near Range Road 50 for a 

single vehicle collision. 

An SUV transporting the driver and 

two passengers had left the roadway 

and rolled. 

LLB 

As a result of the collision, a 33-yearold 

male passenger who was seated in 

the rear, and a 31-year-old male passenger 

seated in the front sustained 

injuries and were transported to an 

area hospital. 

Unfortunately, the 33-year-old male 

passenger died of his injuries a short 

time later. The front seat passenger 

was treated for his injuries. 

Sompasong Rattanathongsay (30) 

was arrested at the scene and charged 

with the following offences: Impaired 

Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing 

Death, Impaired Operation of a Motor 

Vehicle Causing Bodily Harm, and 

Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle. 

Rattanathongsay was released by a 

Justice to appear in Hanna Provincial 

Court on February 27, 2019. 

As this matter is now before the 

courts no further information will be 

provided. 

Robber released into house arrest 

On Feb. 7, 2019, 21-year-old Morley 

Roland Savage attended court in Red 

Deer and was released into his own 

Recognizance which includes ‘house 

arrest’ to attend Provincial Court in 

Stettler on Feb. 28. 

Stettler RCMP received a complaint 

of an armed robbery on Dec 10, 2018 at 

approximately 10:10 a.m. 

The victim had provided the suspect 

a ride to the Stettler area where he produced 

a firearm, told the victim to 

leave the area on foot and stole the 

vehicle.

Police seized several items inside the 

residence including a loaded firearm, 

methamphetamine, stolen property 

from a related investigation and additional 

drug trafficking-related 

paraphernalia. 

Michael Patterson (53) of 

Wainwright, Ab. is facing charges for 

multiple offences, including unauthorized 

possession of a firearm, careless 

use of a firearm, possession of property 

obtained by crime under $5,000 

and failure to comply with a probation 

order. 

Patterson also had additional outstanding 

warrants from Viking, 

Westlock and Wainwright. He was 

held in custody and will appear in 

Vegreville Provincial Court on Feb. 11. 

“The teamwork and intelligence 

sharing between RCMP detachments 

and EADCRU, along with information 

from the public, allows us to successfully 

target and apprehend the main 

offenders in our rural areas”, says 

Viking RCMP Detachment 

Commander Cpl. Brad Mouland. 

Business mischief and theft 

A male driving a white minivan 

attempted to break into an outdoor 

vacuum cleaner located at a business 

in Stettler on Jan. 19. 

Unsuccessful, the male then proceeded 

to a business across the street 

where he stole an outdoor coin receptacle 

by pulling it from its base and 

driving off with it. 

If anyone has information about this 

or any other crime, they’re encouraged 

to call the RCMP or 

Crimestoppers.

‘Painted with Fire’ art exhibit 

by K. Smawley 

Where did January go? 

Many of the students and staff at 

Theresetta have been heard commenting 

that they are not sure what 

happened to the month of January. 

Ever since coming back from their 

break, everyone has been busy 

learning, going to sport practices, 

playing basketball games, attending 

the new afterschool Games Club, 

attending the junior high dance, and 

wrapping up the first semester. 

The Theresetta hallway is currently 

displaying the school’s second, and 

final, travelling art exhibition for the 

school year from the Alberta 

Foundation of the Arts Travelling 

Exhibition Program. 

The exhibit is called “Painted with 

Fire” and was created by artist Ken 

Lumbis. 

The series is created using clay 

sculpture and pit-firing techniques. 

The pit-firing technique involves an 

application of various materials and 

fire to create organic patterns across a 

ceramic landscape. 

A variety of compostable materials 

and minerals, for colourants, are 

arranged on top of ceramic pieces, 

which are then placed in a fire pit. 

A fire is then lit on top of the pieces 

and that’s “when all the chemistry 

happens”. 

Once everything has cooled and the 

ashes are brushed away, the final 

results are revealed. 

Be sure to come by and check out 

the exhibition while it is in the school 

until Feb. 14. 

Studies on India 

On Jan. 24, the Grade 3/4 social 

studies class enjoyed a presentation by 

Carolyn Fetaz about India, which is 

one of the countries they are learning 

about this year. 

Mrs. Fetaz shared pictures, clothing 

and artifacts from her time in India as 

a volunteer teacher in 1997-98. 

Harlyn Bunbury modelled a sari 

which Mrs. Fetaz had worn during her 

stay in India. 

They also learned how to say two 

phrases in Telugu, which is the language 

spoken in Andhra Pradesh. 

It was a very interesting way to 

learn about another country and 

enrich the content the class has 

already learned in their social classes. 

Curling 

Also on Jan. 24, the junior high 

members of the Theresetta curling 

team were lucky enough to be gifted 

eight tickets from ATB to watch the 

Alberta Scotties Tournament of 

Hearts in Stettler. 

The donated tickets from ATB had 

the students sitting right down at ice 

level in the ATB box. 

The students were delighted to get to 

see the curling games up close. 

On the bus trip home, the students 

were buzzing with all the new things 

that they picked up from watching the 

pros. 

The complimentary pop and donuts 

made the experience that much 

sweeter! 

The students had such an awesome 

experience, and got cow bells that the 

team will be sure to loan out to their 

parents to use at upcoming bonspiels. 

Drop everything 

and Dance 

Students got a surprise on 

Jan. 30 just after lunch, as 

music suddenly came over 

the school’s intercom system 

signalling the first “Drop 

Everything and Dance” for 

the school year! 

This is an activity that the 

Theresetta Wellness Team 

puts on to encourage health, 

happiness and school spirit. 

Students so enjoyed getting 

to drop what they were 

doing, head out into the 

hallway and dance around 

with the entire school. 

It a very fun way to break 

up the routine of the day and

Smart saving habits 

Junior ATB took place on 

Jan. 31. There were 16 customers 

who visited to make 

a transaction with the help 

of the nine workers. 

This months winner of 

the gift card draw was 

Hailey Rowland. While Cole 

Charbonneau and Teo 

Pickles took home small 

prizes also from the draw. 

The Junior ATB program 

has been a great success in 

Theresetta and is such a 

postive way to encourage 

smart saving habits and 

teamwork for all those 

involved in running the 

monthly bank days. 

Basketball 

In basketball news, both 

the girls and boys teams 

have been busy with league 

play. The teams travelled to 

Veteran on Jan. 23. 

After a close first quarter 

the female Knights squad 

started to pull away from 

the Veteran girls and ended 

up coming home with the 

win. It was a spirited game 

and Veteran put up a great 

effort. The final score was 69 

- 28. 

The boys team also battled 

against Veteran and 

ended up on top with a final 

score of 61 - 24. 

Coach Finkbiner was 

really happy with the game 

and commented that he was 

proud of the Grade 5 and 6 

players who made a great 

contribution to the teams

One time investment for 

Agriculture societies 

Submitted 

Agricultural societies operate more 

than 700 facilities across the province, 

including hockey rinks, curling rinks, 

community halls and facilities that 

serve rodeos and fairs. 

This new $10-million grant program 

will support technologies that help 

them reduce greenhouse gas emissions 

and facility operating cost, including 

improving lighting, heating, ventilation 

and rink/arena equipment. 

This new initiative will help Alberta 

agricultural societies save money and 

reduce emissions through energy-efficient 

upgrades. 

“Alberta’s agricultural sector wants 

to do its part to reduce greenhouse gas 

emissions. This one-time investment 

will allow our agricultural societies to 

demonstrate environmental leadership, 

while continuing to enhance the 

quality of life in communities they 

serve,” said Oneil Carlier, Minister of 

Agriculture and Forestry. 

An estimated 260 agriculture societies 

that operate facilities will be 

eligible for the funding to help them 

with the more than 3,000 community 

activities they’re involved in each year, 

such as rodeos, fairs, farmers’ markets, 

4-H activities, agriculture and 

farm safety education and 

scholarships. 

“Many of Alberta’s agricultural 

facilities are aging and this grant will 

provide an opportunity to update 

buildings, improve energy efficiency 

and reduce increasing operating costs 

in the long term. 

“Our ag societies, and these facilities, 

are essential to a high quality of 

life for Albertans, and this support 

helps relieve some of the rising financial 

pressure on societies so they can 

continue to do important work in their 

communities,” said Tim Carson, CEO, 

Alberta Association of Agricultural 

Societies. 

The program will be paid for 

through 2018-19 Climate Leadership 

Plan funds. 

Eligible initiatives under the grant 

program include retroactive and 

future activities that are measurable, 

increase energy efficiency and reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions, with results 

being reportable to the Alberta 

Climate Change Office.

Avan Yu has performed on stages

“Avan Yu is a pianistic force and contains 

an 

astonishing sensitivity 

far beyond 

his 21 years of 

age,” says Claude 

Gingras of La 

Presse. 

Yu has performed 

extensively 

throughout 

Europe, North 

America, Asia 

and Australia 

and at venues such as Weill Recital 

Hall in Carnegie Hall, Concertgebouw 

in Amsterdam, Philharmonie in 

Berlin, Salle Cortot in Paris and the 

Sydney Opera House. 

He has obtained Diplom and 

Konzertexamen degrees at the Berlin 

University of the Arts in Germany and 

is currently a candidate for the degree 

of Doctor of Musical Arts at the 

Manhattan School of Music.
