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 />

from residents about how they currently<br />
view Forestburg and where they<br />
would like to see improvements.<br />

TOWN OF STETTLER<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 />

unspent MSI grant funds that<br />
are not in the town’s possession.<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 />

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 />
18 when he announced his candidacy<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 />

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

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 />

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 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 />

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 />

In addition to teaching, Clarke<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 />

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 />
Council meeting has<br />
prompted administration to<br />
dig deeper into the logistics<br />
of Alix Lake and the Nature<br />
Trail.<br />
A letter was sent to<br />
council asking council and<br />
staff to do more to keep the<br />

are adhering to an agreement<br />
between the Queen<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 />

Firefighters Steve Maruk, Justin<br />
Tanner and Troy Auton as part of the<br />
Stettler Regional Fire Department<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 />
information.<br />
There has been positive feedback<br />
from parents about how much their<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 />
