After nearly four decades of successfully doing business in Three Hills, Mumtaz Premji, center, locked the door of her Three Hills Loonie<br />

Store for the last time on Sat., March 9. But not without the assistance of 17 friends and family who worked for weeks to help clear the<br />

store for the new business owner, the Great Canadian Dollar Store. The team’s goal was to sell everything from wall to wall, and what did<br />

not sell will be made available where needed to local and other charities. “Going to work was like my second home,” Premji said. “I will<br />

miss meeting so many nice people, but look forward to getting involved in the community as a volunteer.” <strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong>/D. Nadeau<br />

The survey was presented for public<br />

consultation during the Fireman’s<br />

breakfast on Oct. 13 to gather feedback<br />

from residents about how they currently<br />

view Forestburg and where they<br />

would like to see improvements.<br />

Capital Budget and<br />

Strategic Plan approved<br />

Terri Huxley<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

Council and senior administration<br />

dived into the proposed<br />

capital budget on Tues. Feb. 26<br />

where they reviewed each item<br />

line by line, citing good understanding<br />

of the source material.<br />

This year’s <strong>2019</strong> Capital<br />

Budget amounts to $4,074,150 in<br />

total with over half of the<br />

Legacy track gets leg up on funding<br />

Terri Huxley<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

The Town of Stettler, the<br />

County of Stettler and<br />

Clearview Public Schools met to<br />

affirm their commitment to<br />

restoring the public 1991 Legacy<br />

Alberta Summer Games running<br />

track on Fri. March 1.<br />

The investment will renew<br />

the surface of the outdoor running<br />

and walking track in<br />

Stettler located at W.E. Hay<br />

High School.<br />

The total projected cost is<br />

between $407,000 and $425,000,<br />

with a current financial commitment<br />

by the three local<br />

governments of $350,000 to<br />

$370,000.<br />

Members of the organizing<br />

committee will now be meeting<br />

with communities and service<br />

groups for help to generate the<br />

remaining supports needed;<br />

approximately $40,000.<br />

The running track in Stettler<br />

is a legacy from the 1991 Alberta<br />

Summer Games.<br />

income coming from grants like<br />

the Municipal Sustainability<br />

Initiative (MSI), Federal Gas<br />

Tax (FGT) and Basic Municipal<br />

Transportation Grant (BMTG).<br />

With this, the town will<br />

access MSI, FGT and BMTG<br />

grant funding for utility projects<br />

and use freed-up utility<br />

surpluses to fund projects and<br />

savings for non-utility<br />

purposes.<br />

It has seen multiple events at<br />

almost every level of competition<br />

including zones and<br />

provincials as well as community<br />

events.<br />

“It’s been a four or five year,<br />

on-going community discussion<br />

and there has been some frustration<br />

along the way,” said<br />

Greg Hayden, Committee Chair,<br />

“but at this point we have actually<br />

brought the three major<br />

stakeholders that are financing<br />

the project together and other<br />

community organizations<br />

where we have actually come<br />

up with 90 per cent of the<br />

funding for the project.”<br />

Originally expected to last<br />

only 15 years, the current age of<br />

the track is approximately<br />

double the life it was expected to<br />

have.<br />

The current condition<br />

of the track surface<br />

including the rubberized<br />

material which has deteriorated<br />

significantly<br />

was deemed unlikely to<br />

withstand another year.<br />

Capital Plan reviewed<br />

Council reviewed the Capital<br />

Improvement Plan for the second time,<br />

with additional information regarding<br />

village-owned buildings and recreation<br />

facilities, which was requested by<br />

council during the Feb. 7 meeting.<br />

It will be amended by administration<br />

to look at prioritizing road<br />

This will turn the savings<br />

into real dollars in their bank<br />

account as opposed to having<br />

unspent MSI grant funds that<br />

are not in the town’s possession.<br />

part of the process but will be<br />

completely reviewed again as<br />

they get closer to the current<br />

year.<br />

STETTLER TOWN COUNCIL<br />

Without the collaboration and<br />

financial support of the three<br />

local governments, Stettler<br />

would have experienced a loss<br />

of the rubber surface on the<br />

track and a loss of the ability for<br />

the community and students to<br />

enjoy an excellent community<br />

asset.<br />

With a renewed track surface,<br />

Stettler will be able to once<br />

again host track and field tournaments,<br />

including the<br />

opportunity to bring in people<br />

that may be interested in living<br />

in the area.<br />

The new life expectancy of<br />

the refinished surface will<br />

range between 25 and 30 years,<br />

if not longer, giving everyone an<br />

outlet to maintain a healthy<br />

lifestyle.<br />

Starland County building clean-up continues<br />

Terri Huxley<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

An awarded contract has<br />

allowed for further breakdown<br />

and removal of the once<br />

standing Starland County<br />

building in Morrin, Ab. on Wed.<br />

Mar. 7.<br />

Administration hope to start<br />

reconstruction of a new office in<br />

the village as soon as this<br />

summer.<br />

On May 25, 2018, at approximately<br />

4:30 a.m., the County<br />

building became engulfed in<br />

flames, rendering the facility a<br />

write-off in terms of insurance<br />

and usage.<br />

The east side took the most<br />

damage as fire crews used backhoes<br />

and trackhoes to lift the<br />

roof in an attempt to stop the<br />

fire by constantly feeding water<br />

into the structure.<br />

The west side, which did not<br />

fall, sustained serious smoke<br />

damage among other issues so it<br />

was determined the entire<br />

building would be demolished.<br />

Morrin, Munson, Rumsey<br />

and Drumheller Fire<br />

Departments responded as well<br />

as RCMP and EMS, all of which<br />

did not leave the scene until late<br />

in the evening.<br />

For now, ATCO has lent some<br />

mobile units that have been<br />

transformed to fit the needs of<br />

the County so they can continue<br />

running.<br />

“It’s been pretty good,” said<br />

Matthew Kreke, Assistant Chief<br />

Administrative Officer (CAO) of<br />

Starland County. “They [ATCO]<br />

were pretty good about setting it<br />

up real quick and giving us a<br />

spot to move in. We prefer to be<br />

in Morrin.”<br />

Shortly before the fire, the<br />

County was making plans to<br />

construct a new public works<br />

facility that currently sits at the<br />

north end of the village.<br />

The County is now pivoting<br />

and taking advantage of the<br />

misfortune by allocating their<br />

funds towards an entirely new<br />

building or buildings that will<br />

hold space for both public works<br />

and administration.<br />

“We’re going to be using the<br />

money to build a new location,”<br />

continued Kreke. “We made the<br />

decision not to rebuild. It was<br />

pretty expensive to rebuild and<br />

we were already in planning to<br />

build a new public works shop<br />

on the north end of town. We<br />

MLA responds to correction<br />

in February 28 <strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

Press release<br />

The text of the <strong>ECA</strong>’s<br />

“Correction”, Feb. 28, Page 3<br />

states there was an error in<br />

the newspaper’s reporting<br />

on MLA Rick Strankman’s<br />

decision to leave the UCP to<br />

sit as an Independent in the<br />

provincial legislature.<br />

This correction information<br />

is, in fact, incorrect and<br />

misleading.<br />

The “correction” contends<br />

that Mr. Strankman did not<br />

leave UCP for the reasons he<br />

stated publicly when he left<br />

the Party in January, with<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> citing different motivation<br />

assumed to be definitive<br />

and conclusive.<br />

Those assumptions are<br />

inaccurate. The factual reasons<br />

communicated by MLA<br />

Strankman in January were<br />

Terri Huxley<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

Council picked up where<br />

they left off by reviewing the<br />

Traffic Bylaw as they continue<br />

to look at each<br />

segment in depth during<br />

their meeting on Wed. Mar.<br />

6.<br />

The rules of parking was<br />

this week’s topic.<br />

One of the rules requires<br />

vehicles to not park within<br />

five metres of a fire hydrant,<br />

marked crosswalk or stop or<br />

yield sign.<br />

Recently, a new stop sign<br />

was erected in the village to<br />

curb speeding in a residential<br />

area which happens to<br />

also be located close to a<br />

school zone.<br />

A resident who lives right<br />

outside of this stop sign has<br />

lived on the property longer<br />

than the sign so councillors<br />

felt there should be some<br />

discretion for the homeowner<br />

when it comes to<br />

parking vehicles near his<br />

property.<br />

The bylaw acts as a way<br />

for law enforcement to have<br />

backing when investigating<br />

a complaint.<br />

The system is complaint<br />

driven.<br />

Another concern coming<br />

from both residents and<br />

councillors was idle times in<br />

a residential district.<br />

Some residents earn their<br />

living by truck driving so<br />

some semi-trailer trucks<br />

can be seen parked overnight<br />

in these areas and are<br />

sometimes run for long<br />

periods of time in the<br />

morning to warm up.<br />

repeated in the news release distributed<br />

to all constituency media on Feb.<br />

as an Independent in thecoming provincial<br />

election.<br />

Those reasons cited by MLA<br />

Strankman stand as stated publicly in<br />

communications on both dates in this<br />

matter:<br />

1) Repressive top-down control of<br />

the UCP, and<br />

2) The slow elimination of Party<br />

EVIEW<br />

Published by<br />

Coronation<br />

<strong>Review</strong><br />

Limited<br />

Brenda Schimke<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

It was quite appropriate that last<br />

Friday was International Women’s<br />

Day as Prime Minister Trudeau continues<br />

to absorb the resignation of two<br />

of his three most senior female cabinet<br />

ministers. Jody Wilson-Raybould’s<br />

concern of judicial interference by the<br />

Prime Minister and Jane Philpott’s<br />

resignation in support has left<br />

Trudeau reeling.<br />

Trudeau, the Clerk of the Privy<br />

Council and the Prime Minister’s<br />

Office (PMO) staffers are being taught<br />

a very public lesson on the differences<br />

between men and women. They are<br />

uniquely different and more often than<br />

not have different leadership styles.<br />

Woman generally have a higher<br />

sense of fairness, more easily accept<br />

responsibility for mistakes and believe<br />

strongly in the greater good. Men are<br />

much more into power, position and<br />

bravado.<br />

“<br />

The end result needs<br />

to be a de-clawing of all<br />

appointed political<br />

operatives and a return of<br />

power to our<br />

elected MPs.<br />

Today, Trudeau should understand<br />

diversity isn’t just an equal number of<br />

men and women. Rather it is a coming<br />

together of the sexes which will dramatically<br />

alter inputs into decisions<br />

and subsequent outcomes.<br />

Trudeau would be well advised not<br />

to kick either Wilson-Raybould or<br />

Philpott out of Caucus, but rather<br />

learn from his mistakes and re-boot<br />

the agenda that drew people to vote for<br />

him in the last election.<br />

Some positive preliminary changes<br />

are happening. Trudeau is now<br />

studying the appropriateness of one<br />

person acting as both the Justice<br />

Minister and the Attorney General – a<br />

good step to stop politics from unduly<br />

influencing an independent judiciary.<br />

Much to my chagrin there is a<br />

strong argument that in order to stay<br />

“<br />

OPINIO N<br />

competitive with Britain and the<br />

United States, we must have a deferred<br />

prosecution agreement (DPA) process.<br />

The argument goes—jobs, jobs, jobs.<br />

A Canadian headquartered company,<br />

SNC-Lavelin has 3,400 direct<br />

jobs in Quebec, 3,000 in Ontario, 2,600<br />

in Western Canada and 40,000<br />

internationally.<br />

Those arguing for DPAs say it is not<br />

simply a slap on the wrist, as I depicted<br />

last week, but a restorative justice process<br />

with strong controls, tough<br />

supervision and long-term oversight.<br />

If DPAs are to remain vehicles to save<br />

jobs and industries from themselves,<br />

Canadians deserve much more transparency<br />

during the process.<br />

Gerald Butt’s departure from the<br />

PMO was a good start, but the end<br />

result needs to be a de-clawing of all<br />

appointed political operatives and a<br />

return of power to our elected MPs.<br />

For far too long, strong political<br />

staffers have been calling the shots<br />

leaving our elected MPs as nothing<br />

more than talking parrots.<br />

The Cabinet, not PMO staffers<br />

should be the body setting the policy<br />

agenda, managing government files<br />

and preparing talking points, not<br />

unelected political staffers.<br />

We didn’t vote for Gerald Butt but<br />

he was so used to pulling rank he<br />

assumed he was more powerful than<br />

the Attorney General.<br />

Under Prime Minister Harper’s<br />

government, Nigel Wright and Jenni<br />

Byrne were calling the shots, writing<br />

the talking points and overstretching<br />

their authority eventually leading to<br />

the Mike Duffy fiasco.<br />

Conservative leader, Andrews<br />

Scheer seems more interested in using<br />

Wilson-Raybould as a pawn in his election<br />

campaign rather than addressing<br />

what changes he’d make if elected.<br />

Let’s remember, Philpott and Wilson-<br />

Raybould are still part of the Liberal<br />

caucus.<br />

Even with all Trudeau’s missteps<br />

and his declining favour, neither<br />

Andrew Scheer nor Jagmeet Singh’s<br />

leadership popularity numbers have<br />

seen a bump.<br />

Therein lays the problem for both<br />

the ND and Conservative parties. As<br />

big as Trudeau’s blunders have been,<br />

he is still seen as more trustworthy.<br />

What a difference it would have<br />

been were Rona Ambrose still the<br />

leader of the Conservative Party.<br />

Talk about a shell game!<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

I seldom read a daily paper anymore<br />

but on Jan. 9 while I was waiting in a<br />

doctor’s office at the U of A hospital, I<br />

skimmed the National Post.<br />

In the Financial Post section, an<br />

article entitled “Chevron, Occidental<br />

buy stake in carbon capturing firm<br />

backed by Bill Gates and Murray<br />

Edwards” caught my eye.<br />

I was sarcastically thinking, “Yay,<br />

another item about the meaningless<br />

exercise in futility called carbon<br />

capture”.<br />

The article boasts of American oil<br />

giants Chevron and Occidental<br />

investing in a Squamish, BC company<br />

called Carbon Engineering. It also has<br />

a rather large picture of Microsoft billionaire<br />

Bill Gates and states that he<br />

is also an investor in the company.<br />

As I read through the article and<br />

found out about the new kind of<br />

carbon sequestration that this company<br />

is developing. I had difficulty<br />

restraining myself from making an<br />

angry verbal outburst that would<br />

have made quite a scene because of<br />

the contemptible stupidity demonstrated<br />

by everyone involved in this<br />

article.<br />

This includes the author of the<br />

article, the editor(s), Bill Gates and<br />

his ilk, Chevron and Occidental executives,<br />

Carbon Engineering itself, and<br />

even the many National Post readers<br />

that did not raise an eyebrow over this<br />

article.<br />

Carbon capture technology is the<br />

process of using technology to remove<br />

and capture carbon dioxide from fossil<br />

fuel emissions so that less (or no) CO2<br />

is released into the air.<br />

In the case of Carbon Engineering,<br />

they have gone one step further and<br />

developed a method of scrubbing CO2,<br />

not just from exhaust emissions, but<br />

from general atmospheric air.<br />

The practice of carbon capture is<br />

both futile and potentially dangerous.<br />

Futile because of the minuscule<br />

scale that they are discussing in<br />

comparison to the natural carbon<br />

sequestering that is happening all the<br />

time in our oceans through the formation<br />

of limestone and through<br />

photosynthesis on land and sea .<br />

Potentially dangerous because if<br />

they ever do ramp up this technology<br />

enough to significantly reduce the<br />

atmospheric CO2, our food supply will<br />

be at risk.<br />

This requires more explanation.<br />

Oceans constantly and efficiently<br />

remove CO2 from the air every day<br />

through the deposition of limestone<br />

(calcium carbonate - CaCO3).<br />

This happens mainly organically<br />

through shellfish living and dying and<br />

their shells sinking to the ocean floor<br />

to form limestone.<br />

“<br />

If they ever do ramp<br />

up this technology<br />

enough to significantly<br />

reduce the atmospheric<br />

CO2, our food supply will<br />

be at risk.<br />

This has been happening for hundreds<br />

of millions of years and over that<br />

time, despite infusions of more CO2<br />

into the air through volcanic activity,<br />

this process has reduced CO2 from in<br />

excess of 5000 parts per million (ppm)<br />

to the record low of 278 ppm just before<br />

the industrial revolution.<br />

Estimates vary, but today the Earth’s<br />

crust is between five and 10 per cent<br />

limestone.<br />

That is an unbelievable amount of<br />

sequestered CO2! This makes human<br />

efforts at carbon sequestration futile in<br />

comparison.<br />

Landlocked Alberta valuable to Canada<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

Whenever Albertan Independence<br />

(or the ‘s’ word) is uttered, a wellmeaning<br />

‘Canadian’ dismisses it as<br />

‘unrealistic’ because Albertans are<br />

simply ‘landlocked’.<br />

Whether out of ignorance or desperation,<br />

this ‘Canadian’ is hoping that<br />

you never look at a world map, read<br />

Canadian history and /or compare<br />

Albertan exports with the rest of the<br />

world.<br />

And maybe they should try telling<br />

these ‘landlocked’ nations that they<br />

simply cannot be independent:<br />

Austria, Bolivia, Botswana, Czech<br />

Republic, Hungary, Kazakhstan,<br />

Zimbabwe, Switzerland and couple<br />

dozen others which are completely<br />

landlocked.<br />

Historically, Canada needed the territory<br />

that present day Albertans<br />

occupy.<br />

John A. Macdonald said, “[The<br />

Americans] are resolved to do all they<br />

can, short of war, to get possession of<br />

our western territory, and we must<br />

take immediate and vigorous steps to<br />

counteract them.” (p.240 Canadian<br />

History for Dummies).<br />

So the Canadian ‘Pacific’ Railway<br />

was built with generous promises of<br />

cash, Alberta lands, captive producers<br />

and consumers. Wow! Old John A. constructed<br />

Canada’s very own ‘colony’<br />

– Alberta.<br />

Canada needs Albertans’ land, location<br />

and resources to remain the<br />

country which you see today.<br />

Without Albertan territory, south<br />

central Canada would lose their ‘independent<br />

access’ to B.C. and the Pacific<br />

Ocean.<br />

At the same time, British<br />

Columbians would be cut-off from the<br />

rest of Canada and may also be willing<br />

to consider options outside of Canadian<br />

Confederation.<br />

Also remember that Canada’s<br />

Northwest Territories (NWT) only allweather<br />

road access is through<br />

Alberta and BC.<br />

And without ‘independent access’<br />

through Alberta, south central Canada<br />

- and its remaining provinces – would<br />

have to negotiate – not just ‘appear’ to<br />

negotiate as in the 1980s - with<br />

Albertans.<br />

This is something that can only be<br />

done, if we Albertans are willing to<br />

exercise our options –-- at least five different<br />

combinations with our<br />

neighbours --- outside of Canadian<br />

Confederation.<br />

However, history and geography do<br />

not pay the bills.<br />

But here again, Alberta is more<br />

valuable to Canada than Canada is to<br />

Alberta.<br />

The Fraser Institute reported that<br />

“between 2007 and 2015, Albertans<br />

paid $221.4 billion more in federal<br />

taxes than they received in transfers<br />

and federal programs.”<br />

But, Albertans have been doing this<br />

since 1961.<br />

Some estimates total this at over<br />

$460 billion dollars (not adjusted for<br />

inflation). And remember when<br />

Albertans paid off their public debt –<br />

with low oil prices and less oil<br />

production – even when their pockets<br />

were being picked by Canada.<br />

Albertans occupy a very ‘strategic’<br />

location, collectively own 80 per cent of<br />

Alberta’s natural resources and<br />

recently ranked thirty-sixth in the<br />

world for exports.<br />

Of course, an independent Alberta<br />

would be able to leverage this dominant<br />

position, with not only, its closest<br />

Ron Checkel<br />

would like to thank<br />

of AG Foods<br />

MAIL BAG<br />

Protect yourself against a pattern of abuse<br />

If you own land in the County of<br />

Stettler, you will have received a<br />

package outlining ATCO development<br />

of the Central East Transfer Out<br />

Transmission Project.<br />

However, there is much more critical<br />

information you need to protect your<br />

land and your rights. Twenty-eight<br />

landowners attended an information<br />

meeting March 28, <strong>2019</strong> in Gadsby,<br />

Ab. where an expert outlined what<br />

landowners can expect as this process<br />

proceeds, as well as what<br />

landowners need to know before<br />

meeting with ATCO.<br />

Some of the most important takeaways<br />

were that ATCO is not your<br />

friend. They have been contracted by<br />

The Alberta Electric System<br />

Operator (AESO) to build this transmission<br />

line and are mandated by the<br />

NDP Government of Alberta on how to<br />

achieve this.<br />

The Alberta Utilities Commission’s<br />

(AUC) mandate is to regulate the utilities<br />

sector, natural gas and electricity<br />

markets to protect social, economic<br />

and environmental interests of Alberta<br />

where competitive market forces do<br />

not.<br />

However, the organization is stacked<br />

with members appointed by the<br />

Alberta Government who needs the<br />

tax dollars from this project, and the<br />

very energy industries who need to be<br />

regulated.<br />

A little like the fox guarding the hen<br />

house.<br />

We know as Albertans there are<br />

future power requirements. The transmission<br />

line will be developed, and we<br />

are well aware opposition is futile.<br />

“<br />

Affected landowners<br />

must be organized and<br />

united to achieve two<br />

goals.<br />

The point is that ATCO has a very<br />

clear track record of achieving their<br />

development goals through any<br />

devious means necessary, while<br />

grossly disrespecting landowner’s<br />

legal and human rights.<br />

Affected landowners must be organized<br />

and united to achieve two goals:<br />

1.) ensure ATCO chooses the route<br />

with the least negative impact overall,<br />

and<br />

2.) protect yourselves from ATCO’s<br />

pattern of abuse by being armed with<br />

critical information.<br />

These proposed routes presented by<br />

ATCO are designed to create confusion<br />

“<br />

and division. The adage…divide and<br />

conquer.<br />

When meeting with ATCO, make<br />

certain you have someone with you<br />

during your discussions who can support<br />

you and help you document the<br />

meeting, and assist in negotiations, if<br />

necessary.<br />

Put your concerns and your preferred<br />

route in writing and have that<br />

document dated and signed by yourself<br />

and the ATCO representative.<br />

There is an extensive list of concerns<br />

you need to address (too long to<br />

include here) that has been compiled<br />

by an expert and group of landowners<br />

and it is available to you for the asking.<br />

It is critical you are informed and as<br />

soon as possible, and before you meet<br />

with ATCO, so please, please contact<br />

me to get that list and further critical<br />

information.<br />

In addition, the question has been<br />

raised as to whether this line is an<br />

overbuild considering we export power<br />

to other jurisdictions.<br />

Something else to think about.<br />

Remember, it is important you state<br />

your preferred route.<br />

New proposed project routes usually<br />

proceed along established electrical<br />

corridors. In this case, the established<br />

route is the 9L20 line along 601.<br />

One of ATCO’s suggested routes<br />

comes from the Battle River Plant and<br />

neighbours (including B.C., N.W.T., the<br />

U.S., Manitoba and Saskatchewan),<br />

but also the remainder of Canada.<br />

Corinne & Jay Bortnik, Albertans<br />

Hanna, Ab.<br />

is routed west along a new right of way<br />

beside the existing 9L20 transmission<br />

line to Nevis.<br />

One of the major advantages of the<br />

established route is that the area upon<br />

which the existing 9L20 line is located<br />

has already been extensively<br />

researched well over 40+ years ago.<br />

There will be another information<br />

meeting on March 21 at 7 pm at the<br />

Stettler and District Agricultural<br />

Society Pavilion, featuring Todd<br />

Beasley, founder and managing<br />

director of Albertans for Affordable<br />

Electricity and Stop the Shock<br />

Campaign, and an individual with a<br />

deep background in the energy sector.<br />

If you will in any way be affected by<br />

this development, I urge you to attend.<br />

Please contact me at 4<strong>03</strong>-742-3904 and<br />

I would be happy to supply you with<br />

the information you need to protect<br />

your rights and your land.<br />

But the prodigious hitter<br />

with vast potential will start<br />

the season with the AAA<br />

Buffalo Bisons until, oh,<br />

about the third or fourth<br />

week of April.<br />

Seasoning, the Jays will<br />

say. Nudge, nudge, wink,<br />

wink. Further development<br />

needed, they’ll add. Another<br />

couple of winks. Not quite<br />

ready yet, the Jays general<br />

manager Ross Atkins will<br />

repeat.<br />

While Atkins might wink<br />

while uttering those words,<br />

Jays’ fans eyes will be<br />

rolling.<br />

There hasn’t been a<br />

19-year-old player more<br />

ready than Guerrero to step<br />

into a major league team’s<br />

lineup.<br />

He slammed 20 homers<br />

and batted .381 in AA and<br />

AAA last year.<br />

But, just as Atlanta kept<br />

Ronald Acuna, Jr., down on<br />

the farm until late April<br />

before calling him up and<br />

watching him romp to the<br />

SPORTS<br />

FROM THE BLEACHERS<br />

National League’s rookie-ofthe-year<br />

title, Guerrero will<br />

bide his time in the minors<br />

and the Jays’ brass will continue<br />

to fudge the truth<br />

about the reason why.<br />

It’s simple, really. If a<br />

player is on a major-league<br />

roster for at least 172 days, it<br />

counts as a full season of<br />

service.<br />

After six years of service<br />

time, the player is eligible for<br />

free agency. By not adding<br />

Guerrero to the majorleague<br />

roster until around<br />

the third week of April, his<br />

<strong>2019</strong> service time is — wow,<br />

wouldn’t you know it! — just<br />

fewer than 172 days.<br />

The MLB Players’<br />

Association doesn’t approve<br />

of such roster manipulation.<br />

It tries to provide as many<br />

jobs and financial opportunities<br />

as possible for its<br />

players.<br />

But you can’t blame Jays’<br />

management for trying to<br />

maximize the availability of<br />

a star player such as<br />

Guerrero.<br />

Jays’ fans may lament the<br />

youngster’s AAA stint for<br />

three weeks or so, but those<br />

same fans will be happy in<br />

2025 when Guerrero is in the<br />

final year of his contract —<br />

barring the signing of an<br />

extension before becoming<br />

eligible for free agency.<br />

But if Guerrero is as good<br />

as touted, he’ll almost certainly<br />

let his contract expire<br />

and explore his value on the<br />

free market.<br />

He’ll look at what Bryce<br />

Harper signed for earlier<br />

this month — $330 million<br />

from the Phillies for 13 years<br />

— and harbour similar, or<br />

greater, dreams in 2026.<br />

So no, Guerrero is not<br />

After taking a year off, she started a<br />

“I am honoured and humbled to be<br />

nominated for the Edwin Parr award,”<br />

said Rebecca Clarke.<br />

“I feel very fortunate to belong to<br />

such a supportive and inspiring<br />

community.”<br />

In addition to teaching, Clarke<br />

managed the Sr. Boys’ Volleyball team,<br />

helped organize Operation Christmas<br />

Child and is currently helping with the<br />

yearbook committee.<br />

She has really enjoyed working with<br />

students outside of the classroom and<br />

getting to see students succeed in<br />

something they feel passionate about.<br />

Outside of school, Clarke has been<br />

curling in the Castor Curling Club<br />

Ladies League.<br />

She enjoys knitting and crocheting<br />

and attending craft markets with her<br />

products.<br />

Since moving back to the area, she<br />

has enjoyed being closer to family and<br />

spends most of her free time with<br />

family and friends.<br />

Principal Daram Van Oers said,<br />

“Rebecca is teaching Grades 3 and 4<br />

Language Arts and Science, as well as<br />

many English classes this year –<br />

some of which are combined<br />

classes.<br />

“Rebecca is demonstrating<br />

excellent skills in classroom<br />

management, planning and<br />

lesson delivery. Her students are<br />

equally engaged in their learning<br />

whether we are talking Grade 3<br />

Science or English 30-1 students.<br />

Van Oers continued,<br />

“Rebecca’s calm and caring<br />

demeanor, her professionalism<br />

and her confident and competent<br />

manner ensure students feel safe and<br />

secure in her classroom and in<br />

learning activities, and has helped<br />

Rebecca establish a strong rapport<br />

with all age and variety of students.<br />

“Rebecca is also active in many<br />

school based extracurricular activities<br />

as well as her own professional<br />

learning.”<br />

“Rebecca is an excellent candidate<br />

for the Edwin Parr Award,”<br />

Superintendent Barron stated proudly.<br />

“She embodies all the qualities we look<br />

for in a first year teacher.<br />

“She is innovative, hardworking and<br />

dedicated to her students. We wish her<br />

all the best at the next stage of this<br />

competition, and for the rest of the<br />

school year.”<br />

OBITUARY<br />

Enjoyed quiet community life in retirement years<br />

November 4, 1934 - February 21, <strong>2019</strong><br />

Marlene Gladys (Short) Baldwin was<br />

an only child born on Nov. 4, 1934 in<br />

Coronation, Ab. to parents<br />

Harold and Julia Short.<br />

Marlene met the love of her<br />

life in 1949 when William<br />

Norman Baldwin moved to<br />

Coronation. A short time<br />

later the young couple was<br />

engaged, moved to Calgary<br />

and were married in 1954.<br />

In 1955 the young couple<br />

moved to Regina and it was<br />

in 1958 when Cameron was<br />

born. In early 1960, the<br />

Baldwin’s moved to Unity, Sk.<br />

and there their second son, Aaron was<br />

born in 1964.<br />

The day that Marlene left the hospital<br />

with this new baby, the family<br />

moved to North Battleford, Sk.<br />

With Norm’s employment with<br />

Imperial Oil, the family was able to<br />

live in many cities of Western Canada<br />

including Dauphin, Winnipeg,<br />

Lethbridge and finally in Calgary.<br />

Marlene worked at the Royal Bank<br />

of Canada starting as a teller and<br />

moving up to ‘Claims Department’<br />

before her retirement in 1989.<br />

With their retirement they moved to<br />

Harvey Heights, near Canmore. The<br />

“empty nesters” enjoyed several summers<br />

at the mountains and many<br />

winters in Arizona.<br />

In 2001 the couple elected to move to<br />

Castor to be closer with their family.<br />

In December of 2010, Marlene lost the<br />

love of her life.<br />

Marlene enjoyed the quiet community<br />

life and became a member of the<br />

Hospital Auxiliary, enjoyed many<br />

afternoons of bingo and met some dear<br />

friends through the knitting club and<br />

widow’s club.<br />

Marlene soon started to downsize<br />

and moved into Manor III. As her<br />

health began to fail, she then opted to<br />

move into Paintearth Lodge.<br />

In May of 2017, Marlene then<br />

required more care and moved into<br />

Our Lady of the Rosary Hospital<br />

Extended Care.<br />

On Feb. 21, <strong>2019</strong> Marlene went peacefully<br />

in her sleep, that took<br />

her from this life to be with<br />

Norm once again.<br />

Marlene is survived by her<br />

loving family, children:<br />

Cameron (Jacqueline) of<br />

Castor and Aaron (Maria<br />

Vnuchkova) of Russia; grandchildren<br />

and great<br />

grandchildren: Sean (Lisa)<br />

SNC-Lavalin<br />

scandal continues<br />

by Hon. Kevin Sorenson, M.P.,<br />

Battle River-Crowfoot<br />

We are five weeks and counting into<br />

the SNC-Lavalin scandal and there<br />

continues to be more questions than<br />

answers as Prime Minister Trudeau<br />

fails to be fully transparent and<br />

accountable.<br />

After three resignations, including<br />

that of two highly respected Cabinet<br />

Ministers and Trudeau’s right-hand<br />

man and long time friend, Gerald<br />

Butts, the Liberal government refuses<br />

to be the least bit contrite or accept full<br />

responsibility for their unethical<br />

behaviour.<br />

Like so many Canadians, I was first<br />

shocked and then disgusted to learn<br />

about the extent of the political pressure<br />

exerted on former Attorney<br />

General (AG), Jody Wilson-Raybould<br />

and her staff by those in the highest<br />

levels of Government.<br />

Ms. Wilson-Raybould provided credible<br />

testimony as she spoke “her truth<br />

to power” after being silenced by<br />

Trudeau and maligned by some of her<br />

Liberal colleagues.<br />

Her account included detailed<br />

descriptions of 10 meetings and 10<br />

phone calls involving 11 senior officials<br />

over a four-month span.<br />

According to Ms. Wilson-Raybould,<br />

the objective of this “consistent and<br />

sustained” effort was to convince her<br />

to politically interfere in the Director<br />

of Public Prosecutor’s decision to proceed<br />

in the criminal prosecution of<br />

SNC-Lavalin.<br />

PARLIAMENT<br />

AGRICULTURE<br />

Having a justice system free from<br />

political interference is a cornerstone<br />

of Canada’s institutions of<br />

Government.<br />

Less than a week after the former<br />

AG’s stunning revelations, Treasury<br />

Board President, Jane Philpott,<br />

resigned from Cabinet citing “serious<br />

concerns” with “evidence of efforts by<br />

politicians and/or officials to pressure<br />

Ms. Wilson-Raybould to intervene in<br />

the criminal case.”<br />

Ms. Philpott, perhaps Trudeau’s<br />

most competent Minister, said she felt<br />

obligated to stand up for principles<br />

such as the rule of law and the integrity<br />

of the justice system even if it hurt<br />

her politically.<br />

I believe we would all be better MPs<br />

and people if we took to heart Ms.<br />

Philpott’s parting words, “There can<br />

be a cost to acting on one’s principles,<br />

but there is a bigger cost to abandoning<br />

them”.<br />

The testimony of former Principal<br />

Secretary to the Prime Minister,<br />

Gerald Butts, at the Justice<br />

Committee, didn’t ease concerns that<br />

lines were crossed.<br />

While he certainly came across as a<br />

competent individual and did admit to<br />

knowing the trust he had with Ms.<br />

Wilson-Raybould had been damaged,<br />

he did not admit to pressuring her on<br />

this criminal matter.<br />

As most predicted, this has become a<br />

matter of “she said, he said” or failed<br />

recollections.<br />

NDP government appointed ‘enemy’ to energy regulator<br />

Reprinted from the National Post,<br />

Licia Corbella, Postmedia journalist<br />

Alberta’s NDP government has done<br />

it again — it has appointed an enemy of<br />

Alberta’s oil and gas industry to<br />

oversee it, regulate it and advise on it.<br />

Ed Whittingham, the former executive<br />

director of the Pembina Institute<br />

from 2011 to 2017, was appointed to a<br />

five-year, part-time, $76,500 per year<br />

directorship at Alberta’s Energy<br />

Regulator (AER), with an additional<br />

$750 for each day he participates in<br />

meetings with the organization, which<br />

is tasked with ensuring “the safe, efficient,<br />

orderly, and environmentally<br />

responsible development of oil, oilsands,<br />

natural gas, and coal resources<br />

over their entire life cycle.”<br />

Whittingham’s appointment is<br />

TzeporahBerman 2.0 — only worse.<br />

According to Vivian Krause, the<br />

Vancouver-based researcher who has<br />

followed the money trail and uncovered<br />

the concerted foreign Tar Sands<br />

Campaign to keep Alberta’s oil from<br />

reaching tide-water, Pembina has<br />

accepted almost $8 million of foreign<br />

funding from U.S. foundations, groups<br />

such as the Tides Foundation, the<br />

Hewlett Foundation, the Oak<br />

Foundation, and other U.S. organizations<br />

under the auspices of the Tar<br />

Sands Campaign, which had the stated<br />

aim of “landlocking” Alberta’s oilsands<br />

by preventing any pipelines<br />

from being built.<br />

Whittingham pushed for the<br />

Issue remains<br />

“she said,<br />

he said”<br />

Cont’d from Pg 12<br />

To get to the bottom of this ever<br />

growing scandal, Conservative MP<br />

Lisa Raitt put forward a motion to the<br />

Justice Committee to subpoena all the<br />

emails and texts between Mr. Butts,<br />

other PMO staff, and the former AG.<br />

Predictably, the Liberal majority on<br />

the Committee shot down the motion.<br />

They also voted against inviting Ms.<br />

Wilson-Raybould back to Committee to<br />

respond to Mr. Butt’s testimony.<br />

This is contrary to the second chance<br />

they granted the Clerk of the Privy<br />

Council and others to respond to Ms.<br />

Wilson-Raybould’s assertions.<br />

For many, this issue will continue to<br />

be an unclear “she said, he said” on<br />

whether there was pressure put on the<br />

former AG to politically interfere in our<br />

justice system.<br />

However, one thing is clear: the facts<br />

strongly suggest the PMO wanted to let<br />

SNC-Lavalin off the hook.<br />

From the number of meetings the<br />

PMO took with SNC prior to making<br />

Deferred Prosecution Agreement’s<br />

(DPA) legal – some believe DPAs were<br />

tailor made for SNC – to the many<br />

meetings afterwards.<br />

From the<br />

alleged illegal and<br />

legal financial<br />

contributions<br />

made to the<br />

Liberal Party by<br />

SNC, to the<br />

repeated meetings<br />

and phone calls<br />

made by PMO and<br />

the Clerk of Privy<br />

Council to Ms.<br />

Wilson-Raybould.<br />

To me, and to<br />

the many constituents<br />

who have<br />

written me on this<br />

issue, this is a<br />

clear case of political<br />

interference.<br />

Trudeau government and the National<br />

Energy Board to move the goal posts<br />

on Energy East to include indirect<br />

CO2 emissions caused by the end users<br />

of Alberta’s oil and gas, instead of just<br />

the emissions caused by the pipeline<br />

itself.<br />

The Alberta government scarcely<br />

made a peep of protest over the feds<br />

changing the rules on the $15.7-billion<br />

west-to-east pipeline, while placing no<br />

extra requirements on OPEC oil,<br />

imported by tankers down the St.<br />

Lawrence River, where belugas live<br />

and breed.<br />

Whittingham also opposed the<br />

Northern Gateway pipeline (effectively<br />

killed by Trudeau government policies)<br />

and the Keystone XL pipeline.<br />

When then-newly elected Premier<br />

Rachel Notley announced details<br />

about her Climate Leadership Plan<br />

(which includes a carbon tax that she<br />

never campaigned on), Whittingham<br />

was standing by her side at the<br />

podium.<br />

Whittingham did not agree to an<br />

interview with Postmedia, stating that<br />

the AER would have to approve it. The<br />

AER declined to allow Whittingham to<br />

be interviewed.<br />

However, in an email sent last week<br />

prior to the AER gag order,<br />

Whittingham<br />

wrote: “I reject in<br />

the strongest<br />

terms possible<br />

accusations by<br />

some that I am ‘an<br />

anti-oil activist.’”<br />

Oddly enough,<br />

Krause agrees<br />

with Whittingham<br />

in a facetious kind<br />

of way.<br />

“I agree that he’s<br />

not an anti-oil<br />

activist,” said<br />

Council approves charges for campground concession<br />

Cont’d from Pg 3<br />

Chief Administrative Officer<br />

(CAO) Michelle White noted she<br />

is in talks with Public Works to<br />

find an area that can accomodate<br />

these vehicles as a possible<br />

truck stop area.<br />

Recreation Vehicles (RV) or<br />

trailers were also a hot topic.<br />

Any RV or trailer is currently<br />

not allowed to block access to<br />

any public or private property,<br />

and if said vehicle can not move<br />

due to mechanical issues they<br />

will have 72 hours to promptly<br />

remove it.<br />

Nobody is allowed to live in<br />

their trailer on the street either<br />

as there are areas such as a the<br />

campground for this.<br />

The CAO has the right to<br />

waive these issues if it is necessary<br />

to do so.<br />

White mentioned she will<br />

investigate to learn more about<br />

Cont’d from Pg 2<br />

Major projects like pavement<br />

patching and<br />

sidewalk improvements<br />

along with the <strong>2019</strong><br />

roadway reconstruction,<br />

water, anitary and storm<br />

service replacement at a<br />

cost $1.72 million were<br />

highlighted.<br />

“There is support for all<br />

kinds of areas and services<br />

in our community from<br />

water, sewer, roads,<br />

drainage, planning studies,<br />

recreation and culture<br />

components so it’s a gamut<br />

of a full spectrum of expenditures,”<br />

said Chief<br />

Administrative Officer<br />

(CAO) Greg Switenky.<br />

The budget also reveals<br />

the large carry-over<br />

amounts from continuous<br />

or new projects coming up.<br />

There are internal funds<br />

being used as well as<br />

grants.<br />

The town, like many<br />

other municipalities across<br />

the province, are waiting<br />

for the results of the provincial<br />

election as it will<br />

determine whether there<br />

will be modifications to the<br />

budget or even postponing<br />

projects as grants may be<br />

slashed or added to.<br />

“I’ve been pleased by<br />

some of the feedback<br />

received by senior staff,”<br />

said CAO Switenky.<br />

“Historically, we have had<br />

limited sort of participation<br />

by all of our department<br />

senior staff at the capital<br />

budget.<br />

“I think they greatly<br />

added value to the question<br />

and answer session. I had<br />

at least two or three of them<br />

come forward and basically<br />

say how much they enjoyed<br />

the process and relationship<br />

with members of<br />

Council.”<br />

Mayor Sean Nolls added,<br />

“I think what it really<br />

shows, Greg, is the inclusivity<br />

of this organization<br />

and that’s why we are who<br />

we are and what we can<br />

accomplish.”<br />

RVs on private property and<br />

how this can be added into the<br />

Campground Concession<br />

fees questioned<br />

Council debated on the future<br />

of charges for the use of the<br />

campground concession.<br />

They historically have<br />

charged for usage but there was<br />

arguments for both sides of the<br />

issue.<br />

After discussion, Council<br />

passed a motion to charge $100<br />

for use of the concession.<br />

Some councillors felt the<br />

facility would stop people from<br />

exploring downtown by ‘taking<br />

money from people on main<br />

street’.<br />

Others were not as concerned<br />

highlighting that the facility<br />

draws people to the campground<br />

and lake.<br />

Along with the approval<br />

of the <strong>2019</strong> Capital Budget,<br />

council also discussed their<br />

Strategic Plan for the town<br />

of approximately 6,000<br />

people.<br />

Five main goals have been<br />

identified; the first being<br />

corporate and identify<br />

branding.<br />

The other goals highlighted<br />

were downtown<br />

improvements like parking<br />

solutions for the north and<br />

south end of main street, the<br />

multi-use facility, highway<br />

access and West Stettler<br />

Park improvements.<br />

Although these goals are<br />

on the radar, more discussion<br />

will be taking place.<br />

Stampede gains $10,000<br />

in entertainment funding<br />

President Earl Radford of<br />

the Steel Wheel Stampede as<br />

well as Vice President Sean<br />

Nolls presented their case<br />

for further funding of the<br />

event at the regular meeting<br />

held on Mar. 11.<br />

The pair, on behalf of the<br />

stampede committee,<br />

requested $10,000 in funding<br />

to get a ‘foot in the door for<br />

us’ as entertainment pieces<br />

are costly.<br />

Council agreed to give the<br />

Steel Wheel Stampede<br />

$10,000 in funding from the<br />

Community Development<br />

account of the <strong>2019</strong> budget.<br />

A bullfighting night is<br />

expected to take place on the<br />

Thursday night for approximately<br />

$4,500 again but the<br />

committee feels extra family<br />

friendly events are warranted<br />

as it attracts more<br />

people through the gates.<br />

This will also help them<br />

get the event to a more sustainable<br />

state.<br />

This is the third year the<br />

Town has supported the<br />

event.<br />

Coun. Wayne Smith asked<br />

about their financial state<br />

once last year’s event numbers<br />

rolled in.<br />

Radford explained there<br />

was roughly $3,000 in<br />

accounts to put towards this<br />

At one point, the caretaker of<br />

the campground had the<br />

authority to operate the concession<br />

themselves, sub-lease it or<br />

keep it closed.<br />

Reserve allocations<br />

Village Financial Statements<br />

show the amount of Municipal<br />

Reserves as part of the Village’s<br />

annual audit report.<br />

These amounts are a total of<br />

the capital and operating<br />

reserves for each department<br />

and so council is able to create,<br />

use or re-assign reserves<br />

through resolutions if they see<br />

fit.<br />

Administration asked council<br />

to combine both capital and<br />

operating reserves into one<br />

reserve as it would give a more<br />

clear picture of what is available<br />

in each departments<br />

reserves.<br />

Stettler town senior staff added<br />

value to budget discussions<br />

year and that the relationship between<br />

the Steel Wheel Stampede and Stettler<br />

Agricultural Society is becoming<br />

stronger each day.<br />

The only fee they have to pay for the<br />

ground usage is a damage deposit,<br />

keeping costs low in that regard.<br />

As for live entertainment, the stage<br />

will be moved to a different location<br />

again as they figure out which space<br />

works best.<br />

The parade route is also being reexamined<br />

as the route last year was<br />

found to be quite long.<br />

Legacy Track<br />

close to reaching lofty goal<br />

On Mar. 8, Clearview Public Schools<br />

announced the resurfacing of the 1991<br />

Summer Games Legacy Track located<br />

at the William E. Hay High School.<br />

The three stakeholders including<br />

the Town of Stettler came together to<br />

pool the funds needed for this project.<br />

When separated it leaves<br />

room for interpretation.<br />

Council made a resolution<br />

to amalgamate both<br />

reserves into one.<br />

Lake vitality research<br />

taking place<br />

A request made by local<br />

resident Sharon Frazer<br />

during the Feb. 20 Alix<br />

prompted administration to<br />

of Alix Lake and the Nature<br />

A letter was sent to<br />

Technology mimics<br />

what oceans do<br />

Cont’d from Pg 4<br />

Interestingly, if you go to the Carbon<br />

Engineering website and read about<br />

their four step Direct Air Capture<br />

(DAC) technology, you will find that<br />

the first two steps mimic and accomplish<br />

exactly what the oceans do, they<br />

scrub the CO2 out of the air and produce<br />

pellets of calcium carbonate,<br />

better known as limestone!<br />

In steps three and four, they burn<br />

natural gas for heat to convert the<br />

CACO3 into lime (CaO) and slaked lime<br />

(Ca(OH)2) while capturing purified<br />

CO2.<br />

They boast of being able to produce<br />

“carbon neutral” purified CO2 because<br />

the CO2 that they remove from the air<br />

to make the calcium carbonate pellets<br />

makes up for the CO2 released when<br />

they are burning the natural gas.<br />

Talk about a shell game!<br />

It would be really ironic if their purified<br />

CO2 was used to inject into<br />

greenhouses to increase plant growth!<br />

Hopefully you are beginning to see<br />

what I mean by “contemptibly stupid”!<br />

The other more minor but vitally<br />

important contributor to natural<br />

carbon sequestration is of course photosynthesis,<br />

the process that converts<br />

sunlight, water and CO2 to sugar and<br />

makes life possible on this earth.<br />

It also allowed for the vast deposits<br />

of fossil fuel deposits that we have been<br />

blessed with. Here is where the potentially<br />

dangerous part comes in.<br />

If humans were to somehow reduce<br />

CO2 levels to 150 parts per million, all<br />

plants and therefore all life on Earth<br />

would die.<br />

Of course, that is not going to<br />

happen, but as I have previously mentioned,<br />

for every increase or decrease<br />

of 100 ppm you get an approximate corresponding<br />

increase or decrease of 10<br />

- 15 per cent in plant growth and therefore,<br />

food production.<br />

Again, hopefully you see where I am<br />

going.<br />

Maybe farmers worldwide should be<br />

preparing to sue Carbon Engineering<br />

and their investors for damages due to<br />

reduced crop production potential.<br />

Maybe we also should throw in the<br />

climate alarmist environmentalists<br />

and the whoring politicians as part of<br />

the suit as well!<br />

How could so many people who are<br />

supposedly so smart have missed this<br />

and fallen for this carbon capture<br />

bravo sierra?<br />

Who is to blame for this “contemptible<br />

stupidity”?<br />

In Canada, I blame our education<br />

system and feel that I have the right to<br />

do so as I am a science teacher.<br />

We are not teaching students logic,<br />

critical thinking and the basics of how<br />

the Earth works. If everyone knew<br />

what I just explained about limestone<br />

deposition, photosynthesis and the<br />

history of atmospheric CO2 levels on<br />

the Earth, we would all be able to see<br />

through the climate alarmist garbage.<br />

Worldwide, I blame the United<br />

Nations and their neo-pagan globalist<br />

agenda, but there is not enough space<br />

to elaborate on that here. Canadians,<br />

please think well about these issues.<br />

Do not believe the liberal media and<br />

liberal politicians; seek truth, look into<br />

it yourself.<br />

were nominated for the <strong>2019</strong> Clearview<br />

Star Award for their volunteerism,<br />

including their contributions to the<br />

community and Clearview students at<br />

Stettler Elementary School and<br />

Donalda School.<br />

They are co-recipients of the award.<br />

As local volunteer firefighters, they<br />

have visited Clearview schools in<br />

Stettler and Donalda to provide fire<br />

safety education.<br />

They have also provided fire station<br />

tours to groups of students.<br />

Steve Maruk and Justin Tanner presented<br />

fire safety for Kindergarten<br />

students for the past two years at<br />

Stettler Elementary School. Aside from<br />

prepping for the presentation, they give<br />

up four hours of their own time as they<br />

have to present to four separate<br />

classes, a total of 99 students.<br />

The volunteers have brought an<br />

interactive model home that demonstrates<br />

the dangers such as smoke and<br />

electrical fires.<br />

This house is an aide to help the students<br />

visually learn about fire proofing<br />

rooms in the home.<br />

They also provided the students with<br />

fire engine hats and goody bags with<br />

educational resources for parents and<br />

children, coloring activities and emergency<br />

Notley hires pro-foreign activist<br />

Cont’d from Pg 13<br />

“I would categorize Ed Whittingham<br />

as a pro-foreign oil activist. His<br />

activism has been a huge competitive<br />

advantage for the American oil<br />

industry,” she said, adding that during<br />

the 10-year span of the Tar Sands<br />

Campaign, U.S. oil output has doubled.<br />

“There is nothing anti-oil about the<br />

Tar Sands Campaign, absolutely<br />

nothing. None of those U.S. funders,<br />

not one of these activists, like Ed<br />

Whittingham, are anti-oil.<br />

“They may say they are but if you<br />

look at their actions they haven’t kept<br />

one barrel of oil in the ground. All<br />

they’ve done is shift where the oil is<br />

produced, from an ethical place like<br />

Alberta to the Middle East and the<br />

United States,” she added. But, “I<br />

cannot see how it’s justifiable to<br />

appoint this individual to the AER,<br />

given that he readily agreed with me<br />

that their campaign sacrificed<br />

Canada,” Krause said of her conversation<br />

with Whittingham, who admitted<br />

in his email that he spoke with Krause<br />

twice.<br />

Krause says<br />

she also rejects<br />

the idea that<br />

appointing<br />

Whittingham to<br />

the AER brings<br />

needed balance.<br />

“If you look at<br />

his record, he is<br />

not balanced<br />

towards the<br />

industry that<br />

fuels Canada’s<br />

economy. He is a<br />

very effective<br />

enemy of it.”<br />

For Notley &<br />

Co., it’s apparently<br />

not enough<br />

to have U.S. billionaires<br />

attacking Alberta<br />

through environmental<br />

groups.<br />

She brings those<br />

complicit with<br />

that tactic into<br />

the fold. Then<br />

again, considering her anti-oil-and-gas<br />

cabinet, Whittingham fits right in.<br />

Email premier Notley your thoughts at<br />

premier@gov.ab.ca, and tell her what<br />

you think of this appointment.<br />

FARM CASH<br />

Cash Advance Program<br />

FARMCASH HELPS<br />

YOU SELL YOUR COMMODITIES<br />

WHEN THE MARKET IS RIGHT—<br />

NOT WHEN YOU NEED CASH<br />

FOR INPUTS<br />

Farming is unique right down to the way you manage your dollars<br />

and cents. Every farmer knows that lining up the timing of your input<br />

purchases won’t necessarily coincide with the ideal market conditions<br />

for selling your product. And that puts you in the position of either<br />

selling at what could be a lower price than anticipated, or financing<br />

your crop through a production loan with interest rates that shrink your<br />

margins.<br />

On September 1 2018, The Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC)<br />

launched FarmCash, a competitive cash advance option under the<br />

Federal Government’s Advance Payments Program (APP). Our motive<br />

for launching FarmCash was simple: the APP tool helps farmers manage<br />

cash flow to avoid these challenges and improve profitability. The APP<br />

is designed with the uniqueness of agriculture in mind.<br />

This federal loan guarantee program provides producers with easy<br />

access to low-interest advances. Through FarmCash, producers can<br />

apply for advances of up to $400,000 19<strong>03</strong>2AA1per program year with the first<br />

$100,000 interest free. Producers can apply for advances on 45<br />

commodities including all major crops, honey and livestock with a<br />

one-time application fee of $50.<br />

FarmCash offers lower interest rates than you’ll find through chartered<br />

banks and other financial institutions, and at 18 months for grains oilseeds<br />

and honey and 24 months for livestock, the repayment period is<br />

more forgiving. That extra time gives farmers more power to keep their<br />

product in storage until market conditions are right, also serving as a<br />

risk management strategy for any unplanned events like rail delays.<br />

In going through our due diligence process prior to launching<br />

FarmCash, AWC learned that the uptick from farmers on the APP<br />

could be stronger. With the sheer volume of cash flowing through<br />

your operation at any given time, having a tool designed specifically<br />

for your needs is essential.<br />

With that in mind, AWC designed a cash advance option for Alberta<br />

producers to help grow awareness of this valuable tool and foster<br />

improved returns. Through the development phase, we mapped out<br />

a way to make the FarmCash application process more user friendly<br />

and less time consuming. Our platform is simple, convenient and<br />

streamlined. The application is fully automated, taking you through<br />

a step-by-step process that is slimmed down to show only the<br />

information relevant to you. You can also apply by downloading<br />

the application and emailing it to farmcash@albertawheat.com, by<br />

speaking to a FarmCash representative at 1-855-376-2274, by faxing it<br />

at 4<strong>03</strong>-717-1966, or in person at AWC’s Calgary office. FarmCash will<br />

issue your payment within 3-5 business after receiving your completed<br />

application.<br />

Further, AWC’s FarmCash business model is transparent: if AWC<br />

sees any profit from administering FarmCash, it will be returned to<br />

benefit the entire agriculture industry in Alberta. To learn more<br />

about FarmCash and how can we help you manage your financial<br />

obligations, please call our office at 1-855-376-2274 or visit<br />

RCMP<br />

Safeguarding against fraud<br />

Submitted<br />

Coronation, Ab. – As March is Fraud<br />

Prevention Month, Coronation RCMP<br />

would like to remind the public to safeguard<br />

themselves against falling<br />

victim to fraudulent scams; particularly,<br />

those by phone or online contact<br />

which seem to be the most prevalent.<br />

The Coronation RCMP have<br />

received numerous complaints from<br />

residence throughout the County of<br />

Paintearth that have been contacted<br />

by fraudsters, or worse, have been victimized<br />

by them. In some reported<br />

cases, victims have lost several thousands<br />

of dollars.<br />

There are several scams that one<br />

may encounter over the phone or<br />

online whether it be through email,<br />

social media or contacts made by other<br />

means over the Internet. Below are<br />

just some common examples one may<br />

encounter and should take note of to<br />

safeguard oneself from victimization.<br />

Fraudsters will often call random<br />

numbers and fraudulently pose as<br />

large banking companies like Visa or<br />

MasterCard. The fraudster will notify<br />

the victim to advise that fraudulent<br />

transactions have been made on their<br />

credit cards. The fraudster will<br />

request assistance to an investigation<br />

about fraudulent activity and request<br />

the victim to buy iTunes or Google<br />

Play gift cards to cover various fees or<br />

costs in doing so.<br />

The request for the victim to purchase<br />

these types of gift cards is not<br />

exclusive to this scam and is often<br />

requested by persons with bad intentions.<br />

No legitimate company will ever<br />

ask you to purchase gift cards to pay<br />

for their services. This is always a<br />

scam.<br />

Another type of scam is the<br />

Romance Scam. This scam occurs<br />

when a victim meets someone online<br />

through social media, a dating app or<br />

website.<br />

The unbeknownst victim and<br />

scammer build a relationship and<br />

after a period of time—once the fraudster<br />

believes a relationship of trust has<br />

been established—the fraudster will<br />

ask the victim to send them money.<br />

The fraudster will often make it seem<br />

like they need financial assistance<br />

during difficult times or require funds<br />

to arrange a flight or bus fare to the<br />

victim’s location.<br />

The scammer does not have intentions<br />

to meet the victim and is<br />

typically not suffering financial hardship<br />

as described. This too is almost<br />

always a scam and particularly a risky<br />

move on the victim’s part, especially if<br />

they have never met in-person.<br />

The “Emergency Scam”, sometimes<br />

called the “Grandparent Scam”, is not<br />

new but still surfaces among fraudulent<br />

complaints received by the RCMP<br />

and other police agencies.<br />

Traditionally, fraudsters contact<br />

potential victims while posing as a<br />

family member or friend in urgent<br />

need of cash. Often the scenario<br />

involves an accident or arrest while<br />

travelling abroad, with a request that<br />

cash be sent through a money transfer<br />

company, such as Western Union or<br />

Money Gram.<br />

In the typical scenario, a grandparent<br />

receives a phone call from a<br />

con-artist pretending to be their<br />

grandchildren. The caller says that<br />

they are in trouble, usually a car accident,<br />

returning from a foreign<br />

country, or even in jail and need<br />

money immediately. If you receive a<br />

call that sounds similar to<br />

this, do not provide any personal<br />

information or send<br />

money. Instead, hang up the<br />

phone and contact your<br />

local police to report the<br />

scam.<br />

If you believe the complaint<br />

to be legitimate, it is<br />

recommended that you still<br />

contact your local police<br />

prior to acting on any<br />

requests made by the caller.<br />

The easiest way to avoid<br />

falling victim to these types<br />

of scams is to never provide<br />

your personal information<br />

such as account numbers,<br />

your social insurance<br />

number, usernames, passwords<br />

or other identifying<br />

personal information in<br />

response to unexpected<br />

calls or emails.<br />

Furthermore, it is advised<br />

to never send money over<br />

the phone to a stranger,<br />

through an email response<br />

or to new contacts made<br />

through a dating app or<br />

social media.<br />

Fraudsters often make on<br />

like there is an emergency<br />

or that responding is time<br />

sensitive in effort to pressure<br />

victims to cooperate<br />
