Fun had by all at Will’s Jams Concert

ECA Review 

Many families braved the cold 

weather and snowy road conditions to 

come to the Forestburg Community 

Hall to see Will’s Jams perform on Sat. 

Feb 16. 

Some people even travelled from 

Vermilion, Lougheed and Bashaw to 

get a chance to meet the star of Will’s 

Jams, a family show on Kids CBC. 

The lively band had everyone forgetting 

about the cold weather outside for 

a while and had kids and their parents 

up dancing, singing and having fun 

together. 

It was a great way to spend the 

Family Day long weekend. 

Strankman running as Independent in next election 

Terri Huxley 


Drumheller-Stettler MLA Rick 

Strankman, now an Independent 

member of the legislature, has officially 

put his name forth in the 

upcoming election. 

The announcement made Mon. 

Feb. 18, outlined Strankman’s goals for 

the constituency in terms of property 

rights, economic development, reduced 

tax load and better representation in 

the Legislature. 

“After nearly seven years as an MLA 

shackled with Party-first priorities, it 

is clear that Alberta’s party system of 

government has stripped effective 

representation and across-the-board 

best interests from Alberta’s citizens,” 

Strankman said. 

“Running for election 

and winning office as an 

Independent will enable 

me to restore the priorities 

of all Drumheller-Stettler 

citizens to the front lines 

of the Legislature and 

advance their priorities 

for resurrecting Alberta’s 

prosperity.” 

Strankman left the 

United Conservative Party Strankman 

(UCP) in mid January 

amidst top-down control and the slow 

elimination of grassroot principals 

instilled by the Wildrose Party. 

As an Independent, the seasoned 

politician believes this route will provide 

better representation of 

constituents when in the 

legislature. 

At the announcement made 

Monday, Strankman listed his 

four top priorities for the 

Drumheller-Stettler 

constituency. 

The first was the goal to 

entrench requisite property 

rights for all Albertans, particularly 

farmers and ranchers. 

Advancing a new irrigation 

project for the Special Areas, along 

with other infrastructure initiatives, 

were identified as important priorities 

to help accelerate the Drumheller- 

Stettler riding’s economic development 

and elevate local prosperity. 

He mentioned a few areas to make 

this a reality including a mesh of 

public and private partnership to get 

new irrigation technology to the 

Special Areas as agriculture is the 

second largest industry in the 

constituency. 

His third priority was reducing taxes 

for young people, families, companies, 

seniors and more to encourage development 

in the area. 

“Alberta needs a better solution to 

global warming impacts than a carbon 

tax. Turn to Make, Pg 10

Forestburg council 

Frozen sewer line policy developed 

Jody Pettigrew 


The Village of Forestburg recognizes 

the importance of maintaining the 

sanitary sewer system for residents 

and had previously directed administration 

to develop a policy regarding 

frozen sewer lines. 

After reviewing the new Sewer 

Service Line Blockage Policy, it was 

accepted by Council as presented. 

The policy defines the roles and 

responsibilities of the municipality and 

property owners. 

If it is determined that municipal 

piping contributed to the blockage, the 

municipality will be responsible for the 

costs to open the sewer line. 

The cost to clear or replace the line 

from the sewer main to the property 

line will also be covered by the municipality 

if the blockage is a result of tree 

roots on municipally-owned property. 

It is the municipality’s responsibility 

to do all that is reasonably possible to 

clear blockages located on municipal 

property. 

The municipality will not be responsible 

for providing staff or contractors 

to open sewer lines, payment of homebased 

energy costs arising from 

applying heat to exposed plumbing or 

 

to prevent service lines from freezing 

or any damages caused to service or 

interior plumbing lines due to the 

blockage. 

If the blockage is a result of grease, 

kitchen waste, paper, low water usage, 

foreign objects or roots from trees 

located on the owners property, the 

cost of clearing and repairing the line 

will be the resident’s responsibility. 

Homeowners are responsible for the 

portion on the sanitary sewer line 

from their home to the end of their 

property line. 

If a lateral line crossing the property 

line requires repair or replacement, 

the responsibility may be shared. 

The Village recommends any suspected 

blockage issues be reported 

promptly to staff as they will visit the 

property within regular working 

hours. 

Duncan appointed as new 

bylaw enforcement officer 

The contract with the previous 

bylaw enforcement officer from Bylaw 

Enforcement Services Ltd. out of 

Bawlf, Ab. was not renewed in January 

as Council decided to find someone 

local to fulfill the duties of this 

position.

Officer must be appointed by Council. 

Administration recommended that 

Sharon Duncan be appointed to act in 

this position for the Village of 

Forestburg which was unanimously 

approved. 

Reserve funds allocated 

Administration had previously prepared 

a listing of additional reserve 

contributions that Council can make 

as part of the year end financial 

review. 

The reserve funds are generated 

through tax dollars that were not utilized 

at the end of the operational year 

in 2018. Council approved the transfer 

of the additional reserves in the 

amount of $110,007.76. 

Of this amount, $50,007.76 has been 

allocated to the general contingency 

reserve, and $20,000 each to the water, 

sewer and recreation reserves.

Roger Cole, an expert on rural economic

launching in Flagstaff County. 

Delburne Medical Centre open 

Ray Reckseidler 


Delburne Council received an 

encouraging update from a delegation 

of three members of the medical team 

at their regular meeting on Feb. 12. 

A total of 444 patients have been 

seen since Jan. 21, 2019 with 50 per 

cent of those patients having no family 

doctor 

Seventy-four per cent come from the 

Delburne community. 

Three physicians now available and 

council was told medical specialists 

will be recruited once patient’s medical 

needs are assessed. 

Besides the examination rooms, a 

complete full time pharmacy under 

the Pharmasave brand and additional 

accommodation for future medical 

 

alix 

Watercross 

event renewed 

Terri Huxley 


Council was tasked with approving 

the Western Canadian Watercross 

Association which was passed after 

discussion at their regular Wed. Feb. 6 

meeting. 

The annual event uses a large portion 

of Alix Lake in mid July and has 

drawn many new faces to the area for 

a weekend away to use their water 

equipment for races and leisure. 

This event has also received a complaint 

regarding a number of reasons 

including noise levels, potential loss of 

revenue, riparian health and environmental 

damage to the lake. 

Event organizers were notified of 

the complaints and actively took steps 

to correct these concerns. 

For this year, they have rerouted 

their course to remain away from the 

shore line for bank stabilization and 

nesting areas for birds while using the 

water surface. 

Turn to Regulation, Pg 9 

services in in the building. Possible 

other services could include diagnostic, 

dental hygiene services, a blood 

draw centre and chronic disease 

management. 

At present the medical centre 

employs a staff of seven. 

The delegation also informed village 

council of several concerns, the most 

urgent being the need for high speed 

internet. 

“We are currently using cellular 

LTE Internet which is very limiting in 

regards to electronic medical records,” 

said Dr. Kauchali. 

A grand opening is planned for the 

future. 

“Council is here to help. Your medical 

centre is a tremendous asset to our 

community!” stated Coun. Tim Wilson. 

Council dealt with reports on a proposed 

campground development, a 

bulk fuel business and expanded 

senior housing. 

Council is also discussing improved 

garbage and recycling service.

Infrastructure Report 

provides recommendations 

The 2019 Infrastructure Update 

Report, which was prepared by Select 

Engineering Consultants Ltd., was 

presented for information purposes 

and accepted by Council. 

This report is instrumental in 

helping the Village and Council to 

schedule capital projects based on the 

information and recommendations 

received. 

The report provides an overview of 

the condition of existing infrastructure 

and makes recommendations on 

maintaining the water main distribution 

and sanitary sewer network and 

approximately 11.6 km of roads in the 

municipality. 

The last report was updated in 2013. 

The report recommends water main 

improvement projects in the area of 

46th Avenue (49th Street to 50th Street) 

and 44A Avenue (47th Street - 49th 

Street) be considered over the next five 

years. 

Administration and Council will not 

be undertaking any capital projects 

this year in 2019, as they are concentrating 

their efforts on the 

development of a new 13-lot residential 

subdivision.

Hanna council 

Cervus allowed to service equipment 

Eileen Morrill 


Hanna Council unanimously 

passed a land use bylaw amendment 

at their council meeting 

held on Tues. Feb. 12. 

The bylaw, which pertains to 

the Cervus Equipment property 

at 302 Pioneer Trail S, allows 

Cervus to sell and service farm 

and heavy equipment as a discretionary 

use under the 

amendment. 

Jeff Laurin, a senior planner 

with Palliser Regional 

Municipal Services was present 

at the public hearing in the 

council chambers but no opposition 

or concerns were raised by 

any public member. 

RCMP Detachment 

2018 Report 

Cst. Salmi gave the presentation 

based on the Police 

Reporting Operating System 

(PROS) data, for the Hanna 

Detachment generated showing 

1167 files in 2018, down from 

1215 files in 2017. 

This included the calls for 

service from the public as well 

as self-generated and proactive 

files. 

August had the highest 

number of calls for 2018, with 

December having the lowest 

number. 

Cst. Salmi noted that in cold 

weather traditionally, calls drop 

off. 

In 2018, Monday was the busiest 

day of the week with 

Sunday being the quietest. 

The hours between 9 a.m. and 

10 a.m. were the busiest, while 

the hours between 3 a.m. and 5 

a.m. were the quietest. 

The highest number of 

vehicle thefts occurred in 

January when there were four, 

and there were several months 

 

that had zero vehicle thefts. 

Throughout the year, there 

were 48 false alarms. 

Cst. Salmi affirmed that there 

was no extra workload related 

to the newly implemented 

Cannabis legislation. 

Cst. Salmi also noted that the 

concerted effort from the 

Hanna Learning Centre was 

fruitful in bringing awareness 

about domestic violence to the 

Hanna area. 

North east area 

structure plan 

Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Kim Neill reported the 

owners of the property across 

from Fox Lake Trail, north of 

Hanna Building Supplies who 

have an application in for subdivide 

into four lots, are looking 

at making amendments to the 

1970’s plan, including lot sizes, 

road networks, etc. 

An original structure stands 

on one of the subdivided lots. 

Palliser Regional Municipal 

Services advised of many 

changes in environmental and 

other regulations since the 

1970’s when the original Area 

Structure Plan was created. 

“There is a fair amount of 

work on engineering and 

roads,” said Neill. “These Area 

Structure Plan amendments 

will be a process and will again 

be brought back to council.” 

Infrastructure projects 

Infrastructure has been 

authorized at $1.3 million for 

capital work in 2019. 

It includes removing the subsoil 

and paving Stephens 

Crescent which is starting to 

deteriorate. 

The subsoil is to be removed 

and new granular placed before 

it is paved. 

Winkler Drive in front of the 

County of Stettler 

park is to be cored out and 

paved and Pioneer Trail from 

Hwy. 9 to the South Municipal 

Road will be milled and repaved 

as well. 

Shacker Crescent, from the 

southeast corner to its connection 

with Winkler Drive is to be 

cored and paved. 

James Crescent is not a priority, 

but frost boils at James 

and 7th Ave. W are a concern. 

Estimates for all this work 

exceed $1.6-$1.7 million mark 

but all of the projects were identified 

as a high priority and 

must be completed in the short 

term. 

Council has also allocated 

$100,000 to sidewalks. 

Shacker Crescent has sidewalk 

sections that are in need of 

replacement. 

Neill reported that he met 

with the owners of the former 

Lodge property. 

The owners believe there is 

an interest in a seniors’ development 

in the area and are 

working towards this. 

Voids in healthy practices 

Gwen Snell, Director of 

Community Services, informed 

council that one of the voids in 

healthy practices identified in 

Hanna by her work with the 

Alberta Healthy Communities 

Initiative, is the absence of a 

healthy snack machine at 

Centennial Place. 

Since Snell was unable to 

secure a healthy snack machine 

through the marketplace, the 

Town of Hanna has agreed to 

develop and operate this 

service. 

Transportation to allow 

seniors to keep medical appointments 

is an initiative that needs 

encouragement and Snell hopes 

interested parties with ideas 

will come forward. 

Gadsby under one year moratorium 

Terri Huxley 


With the Village of 

Gadsby’s viability review 

being conducted by 

Municipal Affairs 

underway, the County of 

Stettler administration 

brought forth a possible way 

to keep control over potential 

future development 

within the area. 

The County and Village 

are also in the process of 

completing an 

Intermunicipal 

Development Plan (IDP) but 

until this review is finished 

and Municipal Affairs determines 

if the village should 

remain on its own, 

Administration felt it was 

best to place a moratorium 

on development adjacent to 

the village. 

Council unanimously carried 

a motion to place a 

moratorium in and around 

Gadsby for the duration of 

one year, rather than the 

entirety of the viability 

study after Coun. James 

Nibourg suggested they add 

a ‘sunset clause’ to avoid forgetting 

about this change. 

The moratorium would 

hold any outstanding or processing 

development 

permits and would stop any 

new development or subdivision 

applications from being 

accepted until the review is 

completed which is expected 

to take a minimum of one 

year. 

On Jan. 23, 2019, the 

Minister approved a viability 

review will be 

undertaken and infrastructure 

study funding through 

the Alberta Community 

Partnership Grant in 

response to a council 

request. 

Benefits of having a moratorium 

will allow the 

County to protect the land 

and help guide development 

in the area to keep things 

cohesive with the rest of the 

community. 

Agricultural buildings 

are exempt from this moratorium 

as they do not 

require permits from the 

County. 

Request for 

sponsorship funds 

Earl Radford on behalf of 

the Steel Wheel Stampede 

came to council in an effort 

to secure more funding for 

this year’s three day event. 

They made $3,000 in profit last year 

but all the money they earned will be 

going towards this year’s stampede to 

cover upcoming costs. 

Radford explained that each entertainment 

piece hired can cost 

anywhere from $4,000 to $10,000, thus 

the need for further funding. 

Extra entertainment 

aside 

from the rodeo is 

needed as some 

families, especially 

with 

children, may not 

attend otherwise. 

The Stettler Ag 

Society has also 

raised rent for 

use of the 

grounds. 

Council agreed 

to instead supply 

$5,000 as a one 

time deal as they 

felt the Stampede 

should be selfsufficient 

at this 

point after 11 

years in 

operation. 

(more Stettler 

County news in 

next week’s 

edition) 

On Feb. 7, Snell attended a 

meeting of the Community 

Foundation of South East 

Alberta, in her search for 

possibilities for funding 

senior services. She would 

like to see a similar foundation 

formed in Hanna. 

Twelve years ago, there 

had been a group in Hanna 

working to build such a 

foundation but Snell would 

like volunteers pull together 

to resurrect this group.

Council approved the 

motion for administration to

Expression of 

Interest application 

in the 

amount of 

$225,000 for Type

County of Paintearth Council 

Follow up on land use bylaw request 

Terri Huxley 


The County of Paintearth revisited a 

request to review the municipality’s 

land use bylaw that was made on Dec. 

11, 2018 by County residents, Gerard 

and Donna Fetaz. 

The couple, who own an airstrip 

on their property, found some topics 

that have not been outlined in the current 

land use bylaw. 

“We’ve basically taken a look at 

planning processes and aeronautics in 

the County and what they pointed out 

to us here were some gaps in the 

County land use bylaw and things we 

can look at improving,” explained 

Todd Pawsey, County of Paintearth 

Development Officer. 

“In many cases, their questions led 

to us having even more questions of 

the whole thing.” 

A presentation showed the wide 

range of responsibilities the County 

has control over and how the request 

made was only a portion of the issues 

the County is required to look at to 

make sure all sides are heard. 

In the absence of federal law, provincial 

or municipal legislation takes over 

control. 

Anything regarding aeronautics 

is considered federal 

under 

Transport 

Canada. 

“Basically the 

planning process 

requires consultation 

surrounding 

lands as a municipality, 

everything 

we do is transparency 

of 

applications and 

the approval process,” 

said 

Pawsey. “It 

involves effected 

parties, neighbours, 

public 

reviews, public 

open houses, also 

having the public 

appeal process 

and what our legislated 

mandate 

for the County is 

the balance of 

rights of both 

developers and those like 

farmers, industrial, oil and 

gas, pilots. It could be residents, 

it could be anybody 

that wants to develop or use 

land and the rights of the 

adjacent landowner.” 

The current land use 

bylaw has very little in 

terms of aeronautics regulations 

partly because the 

template used to erect this 

bylaw happened 25 years 

ago with the last major 

update taking place in 2009. 

Two airport fringe districts 

including the 

Coronation Airport and 

Castor Airport occupy space 

within Paintearth County 

with airstrips listed as a discretionary 

use in the 

agricultural district 

meaning they should be permitted 

under the 

municipality. 

Since aeronautic licenses 

or approvals are dealt with 

at the federal level, the 

County does not have control 

over developments in 

this area.

“So that is one of the 

things we are looking at 

including in our land use 

bylaw and process is that we 

will recognize the federal 

planning process as well as 

we must recognize the federal 

approvals and we will 

also update our planning 

approvals in the land use 

bylaw process where needed 

because we do have to do 

that,” he said. 

Pawsey mentioned agricultural 

buildings and how 

they do not require building 

permits within the County. 

Because of this decision 

outlined in the current land 

use bylaw, a farmer can 

potentially construct a bin 

yard, silo, or shop for 

example near an airstrip 

such as the Fetaz families. 

For any new airstrips, 

Transport Canada is liable 

as they determine licenses 

and permits as well as consultation 

with the County 

and nearby neighbours.

Coronation Council 

New casual position to foster more Rec Centre bookings 

J. Webster 


Council approved the job description 

for a casual attendant position at the 

Lions Rec Centre at their regular Feb. 

11 council meeting. 

The position will be part of the wage 

grid as a casual labourer starting at 

minimum wage. 

Council will issue a letter to Rick 

Strankman, MLA expressing concern 

regarding the Community 

Airport Program (CAP) to have the 

province increase the funding to the 

program that will allow Alberta’s 

community airports to operate safely 

and without incurring excessive 

financial strain on the communities 

managing them, as per a request 

from Alberta Airports Management 

Association (AAMA). 

Coronation has applied unsuccessfully 

for this funding every year, and 

according to Coun. Jackie Brigley, 

talked to Alberta Transportation at 

every AUMA meeting. 

“You’d think they [government] 

would want to keep them up,” said 

Coun. Keith Griffiths participating in 

the meeting via Skype. 

According to Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO) Sandra Kulyk, the fund 

is “$2 million to be shared between 72 

airports, that’s nothing.” 

“Considering that [airports] were a 

gift from government to the municipalities, 

they just start costing us money,” 

said Mayor Mark Stannard. 

Doctors residences 

Councillors on the Physician 

Recruitment regional committee will 

discuss further with members at their 

next meeting as to the viability of 

maintaining a home in Coronation for 

physicians when homes deteriorate 

rapidly when no one is living in them. 

“We’re not having to provide a house 

any more,” said Kulyk, with the 

changes made by Alberta Health 

Services.

With February being Congenital

positive response to an invitation from 

cardiologist Dr. Tim Prieur and his 

assistant, nurse-clinician Yvonne 

Balon, saw the couple travel to the 

Peter Lougheed Centre where Dr. 

Ibbotson was interviewed about 

growing to adulthood with a congenital 

heart disease, holding down a job 

and raising a family. 

More than 100 doctors, nurses and 

other medical professionals attended 

the Ibbotson’s hour-long multimedia 

session which featured questions from 

his healthcare providers 

and the 

audience. 

The purpose of the 

Ibbotson session was 

to put a real-life face

Asked if he is past the life expectancy

Ibbotson said, “Today’s medical 

advancements for newborns with 

heart conditions were unavailable 

when I was born in 1972. Though my 

parents were never given a specific life 

expectancy, it was not to adulthood.” 

Ibbotson’s faith journey is relevant 

to his lifestyle, so he asked nurse clinician 

Balon if the faith-related 

statements in his session were 

appropriate. 

“Yes,” she said. “Before you arrived 

for your presentation, we talked about

fit right in.”

As for established existing airstrips, 

both the Fetaz residents and the 

County are attempting to understand 

who has paramountcy in the situation 

as there is little legislation from 

Transport Canada to determine this 

power. 

“We are working on those things 

moving forward for aerodrome planning, 

aerodrome protection, those 

kinds of things so if federal approval 

also causes a landowner to seize a currently 

land use, are there 

compensations involved? Those are 

questions we don’t have answers to 

and quite frankly we’re trying to find 

that out,” said Pawsey. 

Like any bylaw process, the County 

is required to have hearings before the 

bylaw moves to a second reading. 

They have decided to host multiple 

open houses as well as an online 

survey to gauge resident feedback on 

the situation which are still yet to take 

place. This year’s update will be an indepth 

review in light of the gaps found 

in the current bylaw. 

“There are lots of chances to 

exchange dialogue.” 

The Fetaz’s requested they be kept 

informed as information comes in and 

suggested administration look at past 

assessment notices to determine all of 

the airstrips within the County which 

they agreed was a great suggestion.

Doug and Lynne Potter, residents of

Lynne began by citing some recent 

research surrounding wind turbines 

and associated health issues. 

The largest concern the couple had 

was the set back distance of 750

CAO Kulyk reported she was 

working with the neighbouring communities 

on the Contracted Fire

The County had prepared a revised 

draft of the current agreement that 

committee members had suggested

There were clauses in the draft that 

related to proposed reductions in

three years. 

Follow-up meetings will be held, 

said Kulyk. Turn to PEPS, Pg 11 

‘Listen with open mind’ 

Alberta’s minimum setback distance 

for turbines is 500 metres but the 

County made arrangements to have it 

set at 750 metres after residents originally 

raised concerns. 

The Potters have lived in the County 

of Paintearth for nearly 21 years and 

have since began a business as well as 

farming operation. 

They explained that with two towers 

placed just 750 metres away from their 

home, they have already developed ‘an 

exit strategy’ as both of their children 

have major health issues including 

one with epilepsy and the other with a 

traumatic brain injury. 

Concerns of property values, health 

issues including wind turbine syndrome, 

lack of representation and 

visual pollution were expressed at the 

delegation. 

Mrs. Potter conducted her own 

research surrounding communities 

under similar circumstances and the 

effects of Wind Turbine Syndrome. 

“Did we ask for the project to disappear? 

No. We asked for greater 

setbacks so that our health would not 

be compromised.

In addition to Jody Wilson- 

Raybould’s exit from Cabinet and the 

immense trouble it will, and should, 

cause Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 

and the Liberal Party in the next federal 

election, it’s important to not lose 

focus on who broke the story and what 

this says about our democratic 

failings. 

Once again this breaking story 

highlights the immense value of a free 

and fact-based press. For those of us 

who do not subscribe to alternate facts 

and who know the excellent reputation 

of the Globe & Mail for investigative 

reporting, the story immediately 

shouted ‘credibility’. 

“ 

It speaks to the 

imperative that political 

parties on the right must 

stop cherry picking 

stories, but consistently 

support the free press— 

and it’s role in keeping 

elected officials 

accountable. 

It’s just ironic that those on the right 

who more often than not denounce our 

Canadian press as bias and left-leaning 

are all over the SNC-Lavalin story. 

It speaks to the imperative that political 

parties on the right must stop 

cherry picking stories, but consistently 

support the free press—and it’s role in 

keeping elected officials accountable. 

This revelation of political pressure 

on our Attorney General also highlights 

democratic weaknesses that can 

easily be exploited by powerful corporations. 

I don’t think we should be so 

naïve as to think the pressure applied 

by SNC-Lavalin on our current political 

leaders or the decisions taken by 

the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) 

would have been significantly different 

if another political party had 

been in power. 

We need only watch the annual 

gathering of the superrich, corporate 

giants and world leaders each year in 

Davos, Switzerland to understand 

who’s influencing our politicians, and 

it’s not the electorate. 

There is absolutely nothing 

redeeming about SNL-Lavalin other 

“ 

than it is headquartered in Quebec and 

employs thousands of workers in 

Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. 

The World Bank found SNC-Lavalin 

guilty of corruption and shut them out 

from bidding on any of their contracts 

until 2023. 

If they are convicted of corruption in 

Canada, they will be unable to bid on 

government contracts for 10 years. It 

will bring economic hardship to many 

Canadians, but is it not time to stop 

protecting corrupt companies that politicians 

deem ‘too big to fail’? 

However, be assured for every bad 

actor pressuring our government, 

there are good actors as well. Two 

recent examples included Imperial Oil 

and Telus. 

Imperial Oil was sending out a ‘notso-subtle’ 

message that they are 

‘surprised that President Donald 

Trump hasn’t made an issue about 

Alberta’s production caps since it 

breaks trade rules’. 

The last thing we need is for Trump 

to slam dunk another Canadian 

industry with his irrational behaviour. 

Both Jason Kenney and the 

Premier had reluctantly supported 

short-term production cuts to drive 

down inventories, push up prices and 

save jobs. It’s not ideal, but it’s the best 

of the worst. 

Imperial Oil makes profit when 

there is an oversupply of oil and low 

prices. They only take care of shareholders 

while governments must 

balance their decisions during harsh 

economic times to give the most benefit 

to, and cause the least damage to, 

the majority of Alberta families and 

corporations. 

Telus has recently threatened our 

federal government that if Huawei 

telecom equipment is banned from 

their next generation (5G) network, 

they will retaliate with high prices to 

consumers and/or demand government 

largess to keep their 

shareholders whole. 

Again, governments have more than 

one constituency to please—they must 

balance security concerns of our 

allies, consumer demands for fairer 

pricing and business-friendly policies 

to encourage investment. 

The moral of the story for Prime 

Minister Trudeau is actions are more 

important than words. Voters believed 

‘sunny ways’ would deliver higher ethical 

standards than the previous 

government and he hasn’t. 

The moral of this story for us is twofold. 

Never let ideologues undermine 

the importance of the free press, and 

always be aware and alert to the pitfalls 

of corporate influence over all 

political parties and politicians.

Concentration of political power 

by Herman Schwenk 

The way the political system has 

evolved in the last several decades in 

Canada has not served us well. 

This has happened at both the federal 

and the provincial level. 

I think it was happening to some 

degree ever since confederation but it 

really got bad when Trudeau #1 

became the prime minister. 

What he did was concentrate the 

power of the prime minister in his 

office by giving highly skilled civil servants 

authority to micro manage 

government according to his vision. 

These unelected people directed the 

policy that the MP’s were to communicate 

to their constituents. 

MP’s and MLA’s totally abdicate 

their responsibility for the citizens 

they were elected to serve and represent 

when they vote as directed by the 

party rather than in the interests of 

their constituents. 

Our system of government is not a 

republic as they have in the USA. 

Ours is system of government that is 

an adaption of the Westminster form of 

government that evolved over centuries 

in England. 

The leader of the party in power 

becomes the prime minister and does 

not answer directly to the people 

except in an election. 

In most cases it seems the Prime 

Minister or Premier can assume the 

power of a democratically elected 

dictator. 

The caucus does have the power to 

overrule the leader but that does not 

seem to happen unless something has 

gone radically wrong. 

That did happen in Alberta in 2014 

when the caucus forced Allison 

Redford to resign due to her irresponsible 

management of the provincial 

finances. 

Political parties do have caucus 

meetings but it seems to me MP’s or 

MLA’s are intimidated to follow the 

direction of the leader and his minions 

under threat of being purged from the 

caucus. 

We now have a very good example of 

what happens when the office of the 

PM is directing political activity. 

Some time ago Justin Trudeau 

needed a minor cabinet scuffle due to

the resignation of a cabinet member. 

This afforded him the opportunity to 

demote the Justice Minister who was 

one of his best ministers to the Veteran 

Affairs Portfolio. 

No one could figure out why the 

demotion happened until last week. 

SNC-Lavalin, a Quebec Engineering 

Co., is accused of fraud in conducting 

business in Libya and elsewhere. 

It appears that Trudeau and his 

PMO tried to pressure Jody Wilson- 

Raybould to make a deal with the 

Public Prosecutions Office under a 

new law so that SNC would avoid going 

to court. 

It appears that she refused and that 

may explain her demotion. 

Somehow the Globe and Mail found 

out about this and went public. 

I think Trudeau figured that 

demoting the Justice Minister would 

send a message to the rest of cabinet. 

Well, long story short, Trudeau is in 

big trouble now and is trying to cover 

his tracks. 

I will bet that the rest of his caucus 

had no idea what was going on and had 

no say in what happened, however they 

will suffer the fall out in an election. 

Change is needed in the way political 

parties make decisions. 

The system is anything but 

democratic. 

There needs to be some kind of a 

check and balance in the party system 

whereby the leader can be constitutionally 

held accountable to the caucus 

without a government being forced to 

call an election when they lose a vote. 

Independent candidates do not have 

to follow a party line. 

I think we have a chance to elect 

independent MLA’s in this next 

election. 

That hasn’t happened in Alberta 

since 1944. 

The UCP have done their best to 

purge any Wildrose influence from the 

party. 

This could be a basis for voting for 

independent candidates. 

MLA’s who are elected independent 

would have the opportunity to expose 

the flaws in our present system and get 

public opinion to cause a needed 

change.

Dear Editor, 

Climate Change, Part 2. 

As I said in my last letter it takes 

only one dissenting paper that cannot 

be refuted to make the theory of the 

majority faulty and models based on it 

need to be changed or discarded. 

The majority (perhaps, but that is 

another story) of climate scientists 

seem to support climate warming with 

their models certainly predicting it. 

In fact even the International Panel 

on Climate Change (IPCC) has had to 

say the models have been too “warm”. 

The National Oceanic & 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 

has not been able to use the actual 

measured temperatures (that show 

reality) but have to adjust their data to 

show the modelled warming as 

reported by Investors Business Daily. 

So what is the dissenting data 

recently released? 

NASA sees a distinct cooling and 

shrinking of the upper atmosphere. 

“We see a cooling trend,” said 

Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley 

Research Center. 

“High above Earth’s surface, near 

the edge of space, our atmosphere is 

losing heat energy. If current trends 

continue, it could soon set a Space Age 

record for cold.” 

For years many solar scientists have 

viewed the sun as the major influence 

on climate changes, dwarfing man’s 

influence like Shepherd, Zarkov and 

Zharkova. 

Their charts from before industrialization 

show how closely temperatures 

track the sun’s activity, meanwhile 

temperature precedes carbon dioxide 

instead of following in that tracking. 

The little ice age was from 1645 to 

1715, the Mauunder Minimum in solar 

activity. 

In 1795 to 1825, the Dalton Minimum 

saw ice skating parties on the Thames. 

In the late 1800’s, crops were not 

seeded or not harvested in some of 

these years due to another cold 

minimum. 

Note that this does not show causation 

but correlation. 

So much more needs to be studied in 

this field. 

“In fact, Thermosphere Climate 

Well reasoned and eloquently expressed 

Dear Editor, 

Congratulations Brenda Schimke on 

your well-deserved award. 

I always look for your editorials in 

the ECA Review because I find them so 

well reasoned and eloquently 

expressed. 

I particularly enjoy your perspectives 

on current issues which are 

always well researched and full of 

insight, rather than simply parroting 

the conventional wisdom of the street. 

It is rare to find such good writing in 

local newspapers these days. 

I look forward to reading more of 

your thoughts in the future.

Castor, Ab. 

Index (TCI) numbers now (temperature 

in top layer of atmosphere), in the 

closing months of 2018, are very close 

to setting record lows since measurements 

began. 

“We’re not quite there yet,” 

Mlynczak reports, “but it could happen 

in a matter of months.” 

The new NASA findings are in line 

with studies released by UC-San Diego 

and Northumbria University in Great 

Britain last year, both of which predict 

a Grand Solar Minimum in coming 

decades due to low sunspot activity. 

Both studies predicted sun activity 

similar to the Maunder Minimum of 

the mid-17th to early 18th centuries, 

which coincided to a time known as the 

Little Ice Age, during which temperatures 

were much lower than those of 

today. 

Climate change is hardly settled in 

true science. However, the political 

elite need the CO2 vehicle for its 

agenda. 

Hang on for the ride and keep your

Financial 

Matters 

Why you should hire a tax professional 

This year, instead of spending hours 

trying to do your taxes yourself, why 

not hire a professional to handle them 

for you? 

Not only will experienced tax preparers 

and accountants be less likely 

to make mistakes when assembling 

your tax return, they’ll also make sure 

you don’t pay too much. 

Here are a few of the many benefits 

of hiring a tax professional. 

• You’ll save time and energy. By 

hiring an accountant to do your taxes, 

you’ll avoid spending hours poring 

over tax forms and crunching the 

numbers yourself. 

You’ll be able to use that time for 

other things, whether it’s catching up 

on work or relaxing at home. 

• You’ll save money. Tax professionals 

will help you avoid paying 

more in taxes than you’re required to. 

They’ll determine if you’re entitled 

to a refund and they’re more likely to 

spot possible deductions that you can 

claim, helping you to save money when 

filing. 

• You’ll avoid costly errors. 

Because of their thorough knowledge 

of tax laws and regulations, tax 

professionals are unlikely to make 

mistakes when completing your tax 

returns that could result in an audit or 

having to pay back money to the government 

after receiving your refund. 

They’ll also work to understand 

your financial and employment situation 

so that they can figure out if there 

are special rules or stipulations that 

you’re required to follow when filing 

taxes. 

Above all, hiring a professional gives 

you peace of mind — you’ll rest easy 

knowing your taxes were done right 

the first time. 

Tips for getting rid of student loan debt 

Living with student debt 

can be demoralizing, but it 

doesn’t have to take over 

your life. Here’s how to take 

charge of your student 

loans. 

Make a 

repayment plan 

Knowing the value and 

interest rate of each of your 

loans will help you figure 

out how to pay off your loans 

efficiently. 

Use a student loan calculator 

to find the best 

repayment strategy for your 

situation, ta king into 

account loan interest rates. 

Avoid paying only the 

monthly minimums. It’ll 

take longer to pay the loans 

and cost more in interest. 

Use the avalanche or 

snowball method 

The avalanche method 

for tackling debt 

involves making the minimum 

payments on all 

your loans and then 

putting left over money 

toward your loan with the 

highest interest rate. 

Once that loan is paid, 

fo cus on the loan with the 

second-highest interest 

rate. 

The snowball method 

works similarly except 

instead of prioritizing 

loans with high interest 

rates, you start by paying 

off loans with the lowest 

balances. 

You’ll save more money 

and time with the avalanche 

method, but the 

snowball method is often 

more effective because the 

relief of paying off one loan 

motivates you to continue 

making payments. 

Don’t despair 

As long as you make payments 

part of your budget, 

you’ll be living within your 

means while slowly but 

steadily paying off your 

loans. 

Consider finding other 

ways to supplement your 

income (a roommate, a 

second job, etc.) and try to 

maintain your frugal student 

lifestyle to keep living 

costs in check.

Greater setbacks needed 


After doing my research, I feel even 

greater setbacks are needed,” said 

Lynne. 

“You are our people. We are your 

people. We are the people who elected 

you to represent us, to listen to our 

concerns and discuss with us ways to 

make this community 

one that 

we want to 

remain in. I feel 

you have been 

negligent as our 

representatives 

in doing your due 

diligence. You are 

not Capital 

Power’s people.” 

The decision 

regarding the 

Halkirk 2 Wind 

Project is under 

the Court of 

Appeals at the 

time of the presentation 

so the 

County was 

unable to comment 

much on the 

presentation. 

Reeve Stan 

Schulmeister 

added “Because 

this is in fact in 

front of the Court 

of Appeal we 

can’t address a lot 

of this right now. 

We definitely 

appreciate the 

effort you have 

put in to this.” 

“We understand 

and I think 

Council as a 

whole understands that the process is 

flawed and in that we have applied to 

set a resolution to the province 

because we know there has to be 

change. Between our MLA and whatever, 

we have got to get our voice back 

to the province,” concluded 

Schulmeister.

Regulation 

talks spurred 


While Calgary and Edmonton 

bylaws state 96 decibels or greater is 

an “objectionable noise”, levels at the 

beach were monitored and recorded at 

an average of 77 decibels with the 

machines running. 

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) 

Michelle White also mentioned that 

July was a particularly good month for 

the Village last year as the campground 

made $8,000 in deposits 

compared to $5,000 to $6,000 per 

month. Weather played a significant 

role in its success. 

Any source of water whether it is a 

lake or river is considered crown land 

which is under federal jurisdiction, 

meaning the Village of Alix does not 

hold any control over activities John on & Kirsten the Taylor 

lake. 

Chauvin, AB 

Red Deer River Municipal T: 780.858.2435 

Users 

Group contact Keith Rider C: reminded 780.806.3395 

the CAO that they only control what is 

jktaylor@telusplanet.net 

municipally owned. 

“You’re essentially deciding 

whether or not this organization will 

have access to the municipally-owned 

land adjacent to the lake,” said CAO 

White. 

Talks of regulations spurred as 

more details unfolded. 

Councillors agreed to add in that the 

association and all of its members 

follow the Canadian Boating 

Regulations like cleaning and drying 

their boat before accessing the lake as 

invasive species can travel and spread 

this way. 

Mayor Rob Fehr felt the association 

is “reasonable to work with.” 

Outstanding fees to taxes 

Outstanding utility accounts have 

been transferred to taxes when they 

are 45 days past due. 

All other accounts with outstanding 

amounts are transferred on Jan. 1 of 

the new year. Over the years, this procedure 

done by village staff has 

become part of the normal operations 

of the village. 

CAO White brought this forward to 

formally put this practice into bylaw 

and to gain any feedback from how it is 

currently run. 

The proposed bylaw gave timelines 

and other guidelines to help residents 

understand the procedure itself. 

It also creates a clear statement of 

repercussions for not making timely 

payment. 

The only issue Council raised was 

the legality of who was the actual homeowner 

as some homes are rented out. 

Council made a resolution to have 

the taxes moved to the owner of the 

home rather than the tenant and to 

have transference owed on account 

onto taxes against the owner of real 

property.

Herman 

Schwenk, president 

of the Rick 

Strankman reelection 

constituency 

association, felt 

the decision for 

Strankman to 

run has created a 

unique 

opportunity. 

“I think it’s 

important in this 

constituency 

while we have 

this opportunity 

to elect an 

Independent 

MLA because an 

Independent 

MLA represents 

the people that 

elected him,” said 

Schwenk. “The 

problem with 

MLA’s that are 

elected with 

party affiliation 

is once they are 

elected they have 

a higher priority 

to serve the party 

rather than the 

people that 

elected him.” 

At the heart of 

the campaign, 

Strankman hopes 

to push a harder 

line of conservatism 

that 

resonates with 

voters while 

delivering fair 

democracy to the 

legislature. 

“Central to all 

of these initiatives 

is a 

grassroots direct 

democracy model 

for input into 

these, and other 

provincial initiatives 

that must 

respect and 

reflect the priorities 

and opinions 

of all the citizens 

of Drumheller- 

Stettler. Like all 

of you, I want 

your voices heard 

in Edmonton,” 


“My helpers 

and I will conduct 

regular community 

consultations 

across the constituency 

on 

issues important 

to our people.” 

The provincial 

government 

hasn’t called the 

election but must 

do so between 

March and May 

of this year.
