MORRIN COUNCIL<br />
Project dollars and cents not adding up<br />
Joyce Webster<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
Dollar amounts for several projects<br />
were estimated at Morrin’s special<br />
budget meeting as quotes requested by<br />
motions as far back as January were<br />
not available.<br />
Prior to the start of the meeting held<br />
on Tues. June 11, Mayor Howard<br />
Helton asked “So do we have new<br />
copies of the budget?”<br />
“I never made any, no,” replied<br />
Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)<br />
Annette Plachner.<br />
Mayor Helton then passed out to residents<br />
present in the gallery, copies of<br />
the budget he had previously received<br />
from the CAO that also included his<br />
questions and remarks.<br />
Mayor Helton again explained<br />
according the Municipal Affairs Act<br />
(MGA), why two items from the<br />
agenda, setting the by-election<br />
returning officer and election date at<br />
the start of the meeting could not be<br />
dealt with at the Special Meeting.<br />
“We have to do that today,” said CAO<br />
Plachner referring to those additions to<br />
the agenda.<br />
“We only have so much time to do<br />
the by-election. You’re putting it<br />
behind.”<br />
The by-election is a result of Coun.<br />
Bob Graham resigning.<br />
“I’m not putting anything behind.<br />
That is the regulation set by the MGA.<br />
I think we went over this a while ago.”<br />
“But I sent this to you last week,”<br />
stated Plachner.<br />
“No, you didn’t send anything to do<br />
with the agenda. I sent the agenda in,<br />
Auction Mart<br />
co-founder<br />
honour roll<br />
posthumously<br />
Page 12<br />
in my capacity, for a special meeting<br />
which I complied with the MGA,”<br />
replied Helton.<br />
“When I got your email [setting the<br />
special meeting], I sent it to you,” said<br />
Plachner.<br />
“That wasn’t the agenda, that was a<br />
memo. I sent the agenda last<br />
Thursday,” said Helton.<br />
The MGA regulation states that all<br />
items dealt with at a Special Meeting<br />
must be on the agenda at the time the<br />
Special Meeting is called.<br />

Is the budget set in stone?<br />
Cont’d from Pg 1<br />
discussion, Mayor Helton asked of<br />
CAO Plachner, “In your opinion, are<br />
we to expect that [budget] is the budget<br />
set in stone, that we are to approve?”<br />
“I would like you to, if you don’t<br />
want taxes to be raised very high,”<br />
answered Plachner.<br />
A back and forth conversation highlighted<br />
the miscommunication<br />
between Mayor Helton and CAO<br />
Plachner as information and budget<br />
amounts were missing or changed,<br />
stalling the overall budget process.<br />
“What happened to the fact that we<br />
had no input in the budget despite special<br />
meetings we had prior to this,<br />
considering the projects that we made<br />
resolutions for that we were going to<br />
address, like the paving?” questioned<br />
Helton.<br />
“We asked you to get quotes for the<br />
paving, we asked you get quotes, in<br />
particular the green space and in particular<br />
the public works yard.”<br />
“The green space quotes did not<br />
“<br />
“no, where are we<br />
getting with this other<br />
CAO? I’m not clear on that<br />
either,” said Plachner.<br />
come in, the paving quotes did not<br />
come in,” said Plachner. “You can’t go<br />
and drag people here to give them<br />
quotes. They were phoned and asked to<br />
come many times and they haven’t<br />
come.”<br />
“Well, I guess you have to phone the<br />
right people that will come,” said<br />
Helton in response. “This was started<br />
two months ago and it’s taken two<br />
months to coordinate some contractors<br />
to get us quotes on these projects we’ve<br />
outlined some months ago”.<br />
“What would your suggestion be to<br />
address those now because we want to<br />
proceed with these projects?” asked<br />
Helton.<br />
“Those are capital projects. They<br />
would have to come out of Capital<br />
[Budget], not the Operating,” stated<br />
Plachner.<br />
“How do we determine the future<br />
now that nobody has gotten council a<br />
quote?” stated Helton in frustration.<br />
“You have quotes on the fencing,”<br />
said Plachner.<br />
“I have no quotes on fencing,” said<br />
Helton.<br />
The gallery had received the quote<br />
in the package they picked up at the<br />
beginning of the meeting.<br />
“Where is it for me to review?” asked<br />
the mayor.<br />
“I sent them to you,” responded<br />
Plachner.<br />
“These magical things... It’s like the<br />
agenda today and last meeting I don’t<br />
have it until I get here. I got a different<br />
agenda from what I sent. Last month I<br />
had a different agenda than when I got<br />
here, you told me you sent it to me.<br />
What is going on?”<br />
“I emailed them to you. Have you got<br />
them M’Liss?” asked Plachner.<br />
“Seems everybody else has?” said<br />
Helton. “I wouldn’t be asking for a<br />
quote if I had a quote. This is serious<br />
stuff.”<br />
“Yes, it is,” said Plachner.<br />
“Indeed it is, and paving is a major<br />
thing too,” said Helton.<br />
Paving project<br />
Council had approved a motion on<br />
April 17 to have MPE survey the levels<br />
along the west side of the village to<br />
determine how to improve the<br />
drainage issue at the west entrance to<br />
town where water pooling causes<br />
“<br />
potholes to pound out, before doing any<br />
pavement patching.<br />
“There was a lot of misunderstanding<br />
with MPE regarding the<br />
lower end of main street,” said Mayor<br />
Helton.<br />
“I don’t think they understand what<br />
we were looking for,” said CAO<br />
Plachner.<br />
“Is there some way to contact them<br />
and get more clarity so it could work in<br />
with our plan to fix up that piece down<br />
there [entrance to the village]?” queried<br />
Helton.<br />
CAO Plachner promised to get that<br />
to them by Wednesday and recommended<br />
budgeting $75,000 for the<br />
paving project.<br />
“The quote for the green space –<br />
What kind of figure did we get for<br />
levelling that, grassing it, putting in a<br />
little fence and a couple items in<br />
there?” asked Helton.<br />
“Haven’t got that yet,” responded<br />
CAO Plachner,<br />
“Paving repairs is the big one, how<br />
are we doing the budget [without<br />
these quotes]. How much is that<br />
[paving repairs]?”<br />
“I don’t know,” replied Plachner,<br />
“It’s critical,” stated Helton.<br />
“Well, if you want to leave it<br />
[budget] till next Wednesday we can<br />
pass it on Wednesday if I have this<br />
for you, at least an idea,” said<br />
Plachner.<br />
“We can do the final passage on<br />
Wednesday,” chimed in Coun. M’Liss<br />
Edwards.<br />
“Well, we have to because we have to<br />
get the taxes done. It’s getting late,”<br />
said CAO Plachner.<br />
Recycle bins relocation<br />
Council estimated $30,075 for the<br />
public works space although they did<br />
not have the drawings showing the<br />
dimensions that was requested in a<br />
motion by council at the April 17<br />
meeting.<br />
Plachner indicated that Dave Benci,<br />
public works manager, took the concept<br />
drawing done by Mayor Helton<br />
and paced it out as to how you wanted<br />
that fence to go rather than doing up a<br />
formal dimensional drawing to scale<br />
that had been requested by motion in<br />
the April 17 regular council meeting.<br />
Mayor Helton opened up the meeting<br />
for comments from the gallery<br />
regarding the recycling bins and<br />
public works space with a great deal of<br />
discussion ensuing.<br />
Council had planned for the relocation<br />
of the bins to be the southeast<br />
corner on town property.<br />
The majority felt it would be better<br />
located east of the unused tennis<br />
courts although there is no developed<br />
road.<br />
“Cheaper to build a road over there<br />
than to put up a $40,000 fence,” stated<br />
Daryl DeMille.<br />
“Do we want them to be the focal<br />
point of your village, people coming<br />
into town and they look over the display<br />
coming into town, over the ball<br />
diamonds then we come to the public<br />
works yard?” asked Helton.<br />
“You are not going to offend any taxpayers<br />
by putting it over there [next to<br />
the unused tennis court],” said Wanda<br />
Hampton.<br />
“The aesthetics was to have a fence<br />
and slats and trees so it doesn’t look<br />
obtrusive,” said Helton.<br />
“It was a dumping ground [before]<br />
and they are afraid it will become a<br />
dumping ground again,” said<br />
Hampton.<br />
Only concern that I kind of have is<br />
about the road portion of it. It’s by the<br />
ball diamonds and if there’s traffic<br />
going by and there’s kids running all<br />
over the place, back and forth to the<br />
park, that’s my major concern,” said<br />
Dennis Schoonderbeek.<br />
“It’s a catch 22,” said DeMille.<br />
The consensus of the gallery reached<br />
was to put the recycle bins on the east<br />
side of the old tennis court.<br />
“To keep peace in the town, the<br />
tennis court isn’t going to offend<br />
anyone. Like Daryl said, plant some<br />
trees”, said Wanda Hampton.<br />
The green space was also discussed.<br />
Plachner package<br />
and CAO assistant<br />
Council motioned to hire an assistant<br />
CAO and budgeted $40,000 for the<br />
position.<br />
“So again these projects, including<br />
the CAO package and an estimate for<br />
an assistant CAO to be hired would<br />
then, in this budget, have to come out of<br />
that Unrestricted [Surplus],” asked<br />
Helton.<br />
“No, where are we getting with this<br />
other CAO? I’m not clear on that<br />
either,” said Plachner,<br />
“Well, we are going to hire an assistant<br />
CAO for the transition,” said<br />
Helton.<br />
“Why is that?” asked Plachner,<br />
“You’ve more than indicated that you<br />
are retiring,” said Helton, “Somebody<br />
has to be ready. We have to hire<br />
someone to come in and work with you.<br />
It’s obvious since last November, the<br />
back and forth, we’re all familiar with<br />
that, that you’re wanting to retire,<br />
sooner than later, so that’s why we are<br />
going to go ahead and hire an assistant.<br />
“Okay, fine,” said Plachner. “Paying<br />
this person can come out of operating.”<br />
“That’s what this meeting is all<br />
about,” said Helton. “We needed a prebudget<br />
meeting to get these things<br />
worked out.”<br />
“We want to make sure we have<br />
enough money in operating budget to<br />
do that,” added Coun. Edwards.<br />
“I’m thinking $40,000 would be<br />
enough, give or take,” said CAO<br />
Plachner.<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB JuNE <strong>20</strong>'19 3<br />
HANNA COUNCIL<br />
Hanna Farmers Market rental subsidy<br />
Eileen Morrill<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
Peggy Rehill, a member of the<br />
Hanna Farmers Market<br />
Committee appealed to Hanna<br />
town council for a subsidized<br />
rental agreement for their<br />
weekly market at the Hanna<br />
Curling Rink.<br />
At the regular Hanna council<br />
meeting on Tues. June 11,<br />
council granted them a rate of<br />
$271.35 plus tax per week compared<br />
to $405 plus tax for the<br />
market in May.<br />
“The Hanna Farmers Market<br />
have originally been located at<br />
the Round Up Centre but have<br />
parted ways with the owners,”<br />
said Chief Administrative<br />
Officer (CAO) Kim Neill.<br />
“While there are not a ton of<br />
alternative locations in Hanna<br />
for a farmers market, the town<br />
does not want to undercut somebody.<br />
The town wants to respect<br />
private individuals who pay<br />
taxes.”<br />
Roundhouse<br />
restoration report<br />
Sandra Beaudoin stepped<br />
away from her desk as councillor<br />
to put on her other hat as<br />
Roundhouse Society President<br />
and Founder and led a delegation<br />
of five to present the<br />
Roundhouse Society Operating<br />
Business Plan.<br />
The Roundhouse is of historical<br />
significance for Alberta<br />
therefore to date Alberta<br />
Heritage has provided<br />
CORONATION COUNCIL<br />
approximately $<strong>20</strong>0,000 for the<br />
restoration.<br />
The Elks have also donated<br />
funds for the restoration and<br />
the town forgives the land taxes.<br />
Two private events have been<br />
held in the unfinished facility to<br />
date: a wedding and a church<br />
service.<br />
Major drawbacks are access<br />
to water, and without water,<br />
power is not available, however,<br />
the Society does use a generator.<br />
Beaudoin said the assets for<br />
the roundhouse are increasing.<br />
The assessment value was<br />
$136,000 when the building was<br />
purchased and now totals over<br />
$350,000.<br />
The Roundhouse Society<br />
would like the town to purchase<br />
two lots on the east side of the<br />
Boulevard maintenance<br />
J. Webster<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
The Community Standards Bylaw<br />
was passed in the second and final<br />
readings by a vote of 4 - 1 at the regular<br />
council meeting on Mon. June 10.<br />
Coun. Vickey Horkoff voted against<br />
the motion.<br />
This change was in response to a<br />
concern that had been raised<br />
regarding who is responsible for the<br />
maintenance for boulevards and<br />
maintenance standards.<br />
The new bylaw states that the boulevard<br />
adjacent to the land owner or<br />
occupant must keep any grass cut and<br />
remove accumulation of fallen leaves<br />
and other debris.<br />
Fines are $50 for first offence, $100<br />
for second offence within the same<br />
year, and $<strong>20</strong>0 in third and subsequent<br />
offences within one year.<br />
Grade 6 class visit<br />
Mrs. Pasolli’s Coronation Grade 6<br />
class attended the council meeting as<br />
part of their Social Studies<br />
curriculum.<br />
They came armed with questions<br />
and ideas for council.<br />
One issue raised was the unsafe<br />
abandoned and derelict buildings with<br />
mold.<br />
Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)<br />
Sandra Kulyk explained to the class<br />
regarding costs involved in removing<br />
these buildings.<br />
An example she gave was the large<br />
house on the corner Norfolk Avenue<br />
and Arthur Street in Coronation<br />
where the attic caved in spreading<br />
asbestos throughout the entire house.<br />
“We had a company come in and<br />
give us an estimate,” said CAO Kulyk.<br />
“Every bit [of powdered asbestos] has<br />
to be gathered up, bagged, hauled<br />
away, then they have to vacuum, bag<br />
that up and haul it away and then they<br />
have to put glue on any surface of<br />
wood or hard surface and then they<br />
can tear it down.<br />
“They were talking over $100,000 to<br />
do that,” she concluded.<br />
“Trust me,” said Mayor Mark<br />
Stannard, “if we could take all of them<br />
down, we would,” added Mayor<br />
Stannard.<br />
Other issues discussed included<br />
making the dock at the Coronation<br />
dam more stable and bigger so more<br />
people could be on them at one time;<br />
an off leash two-part pet park for not<br />
only dogs, but cats too; having a bigger<br />
GaGa pit as classrooms use the one<br />
located near the swimming pool and it<br />
would be nicer to have a<br />
bigger one so lots of kids<br />
could play and a second one<br />
on grass so that knuckles<br />
don’t get scraped.<br />
“That one was $600 and it<br />
was donated to the town<br />
from the FCSS,” said Mayor<br />
Stannard.<br />
Coun. Horkoff found that<br />
bigger ones are available.<br />
She questioned the class if<br />
it would be better to have<br />
two pits.<br />
Last year’s Grade 6 class<br />
had requested that the basketball<br />
hoops and nets be<br />
fixed and the town obliged.<br />
This year’s class<br />
requested that the one<br />
located in the mobile home<br />
park be repaired while<br />
another student commented<br />
on pot holes in the outfield.<br />
Development<br />
decision upheld<br />
Terri Huxley<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
The Subdivision and<br />
Development Appeal Board<br />
(SDAB) issued a decision on<br />
Tues, June 11 upholding the<br />
County of Stettler’s<br />
Development Authority<br />
decision that a development<br />
permit application by<br />
Paradise Shores was<br />
incomplete.<br />
They submitted the<br />
permit on March 28 with 318<br />
campsites or RV stalls as<br />
necessary to support the primary<br />
use of the property<br />
being outdoor recreation<br />
facility.<br />
The development permit<br />
application was for the lands<br />
located at NE <strong>20</strong>-40-<strong>20</strong> W4M,<br />
the lands at Paradise Shores<br />
RV Resort.<br />
After reviewing the application,<br />
the Development<br />
Authority advised the appellant<br />
that the application was<br />
incomplete.<br />
The County set out the<br />
outstanding information<br />
and provided a deadline to<br />
submit the outstanding<br />
information but Paradise<br />

In other words, to determine<br />
whether the<br />

A Picture of You<br />
I only have a picture now,<br />
A frozen piece of time,<br />
To remind me of how it was,<br />
When you were here, and mine.<br />
I see your smiling eyes,<br />
Each morning when I wake,<br />
I talk to you, and place a kiss,<br />
Upon your lovely face.<br />
How much I miss you being here,<br />
I really cannot say,<br />
The ache is deep inside my heart,<br />
And never goes away.<br />
I hear it mentioned often,<br />
That time will heal the pain,<br />
But if I’m being honest,<br />
I hope it will remain.<br />
I need to feel you constantly,<br />
To get me through the day,<br />
I loved you so very much,<br />
Why did you go away?<br />
The angels came and took you,<br />
That really wasn’t fair,<br />
They took my one and only Son,<br />
My future life. My heir.<br />
If only they had asked me,<br />
If I would take your place,<br />
I would have done so willingly,<br />
Leaving you this world to grace.<br />
You should have had so many years,<br />
To watch your life unfold,<br />
And in the mist of this,<br />
Watch us all grow old!<br />
I hope you’re watching from above,<br />
At the daily tasks I do,<br />
And let there be no doubt at all,<br />
I really do love you.<br />

STETTLER COUNTY COUNCIL<br />
Village of Gadsby under county administratively<br />
Terri Huxley<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
With the recent departure of the<br />
Gadsby village council, the County of<br />
Stettler has taken over administrative<br />
duties.<br />
Municipal Affairs has requested<br />
that Gadsby enter into an administration<br />
contract with the County of<br />
Stettler which council agreed to at<br />
their monthly meeting on Wed. June<br />
12.<br />
The Village of Gadsby council<br />
resigned with no Chief Administrative<br />
Officer (CAO) on May 8, <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong>.<br />
Municipal Affairs has appointed an<br />
“Official Administrator” to act with<br />
all the powers of the Village of Gadsby<br />
council, but the Village still required<br />
to have a CAO.<br />
The Village of Gadsby’s Official<br />
Administrator has already passed a<br />
motion accepting the agreement as<br />
presented.<br />
Yvette Cassidy, the County CAO has<br />
been appointed.<br />
Municipal Affairs continues to<br />
review Gadsby’s viability, and has<br />
indicated they will undertake an expedited<br />
tabletop review.<br />
With the county appointment, they<br />
will be taking over administrative<br />
duties from June 1 until Dec. 31, <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong><br />
so Municipal Affairs can complete the<br />
viability review first.<br />
The financial review portion of the<br />
study has been completed and filed but<br />
the infrastructure review is still in<br />
progress.<br />
The county is also being paid $35,000<br />
by the ‘smallest village in Alberta’ to<br />
do this job for seven months.<br />
“The contract is very similar to<br />
what we had with Botha,” said CAO<br />
Cassidy.<br />
Once the review is done, CAO<br />
Cassidy expects there to be public<br />
meetings with municipal affairs to<br />
give community members a sense of<br />
what life would be like under the<br />
county.<br />
Anyone can attend the public meetings<br />
but for the final decision as to<br />
whether the village remains a village<br />
is up to its residents.<br />
If all is positive, the county will<br />
resume control on Jan. 1, <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>.<br />
Tax bylaw and tax notices have not<br />
been done which has added an extra<br />
workload to county staff but the<br />
public works department has done the<br />
most heavy lifting in terms of getting<br />
current infrastructure projects done<br />
properly and up to standard.<br />
“This is a good opportunity for us to<br />
make sure we get things pointed in<br />
the right direction,” said CAO<br />
Cassidy.<br />
At this time, the village has not dissolved<br />
into the county.<br />

Clawing for leftovers<br />
Brenda Schimke<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
It may come as a surprise to many of<br />
my regular readers that I was once an<br />
advocate for no corporate taxes. Upon<br />
graduation with a Commerce degree<br />
from the University of Alberta and<br />
having studied all economic theories, I<br />
favoured the supply-side, neo-liberal<br />
economic model that corporate taxation<br />
was a job killer.<br />
In the academic world, it sounded<br />
plausible that corporations without<br />
taxes would use excess money to invest<br />
and create more jobs.<br />
“<br />
Corporations have<br />
no obligation to keep<br />
their oversized financial<br />
gains earned in Alberta<br />
here nor to re-invest and<br />
create and sustain jobs<br />
during a bust cycle.<br />
I could still argue that income taxes<br />
for corporations whose entire operations<br />
are located in Canada should<br />
have relatively low corporate tax rates<br />
as the vast sum of their earnings and<br />
profits are recycling within<br />
Canada. But with globalization and<br />
the subsequent market power of multinational<br />
corporations, low corporate<br />
tax rate cuts have caused the rise of<br />
inequality and the decline of the<br />
middle class.<br />
Alberta got rich when Premier Peter<br />
Lougheed was elected in 1971 and significantly<br />
increased royalty rates<br />
(taxation) on oil and gas. His priority<br />
was to get Albertans to not only be the<br />
owners, but act like owners of their<br />
natural resources.<br />
Yet after 50 years of intensive development<br />
in the oil sands and billions of<br />
dollars of cash generation, we’ve never<br />
had enough money in the public coffers<br />
to complete a four-lane highway to<br />
Alberta’s cash cow—Fort McMurray.<br />
Inconceivably, Alberta during the<br />
boom years didn’t have enough money<br />
to build schools and hire teachers to<br />
accommodate the bulging population<br />
growth. Alberta did not have enough<br />
money to build medical capacity for a<br />
“<br />
OPINION<br />
growing population but instead normalized<br />
long, protracted wait lists for<br />
necessary surgeries.<br />
Alberta didn’t even have enough<br />
money to keep municipalities whole. It<br />
wasn’t that many years ago when<br />
many bridges had reached critical<br />
failure rates in much of rural Alberta.<br />
Calgary, the headquarters of this<br />
booming industry, never had the<br />
resources to invest in an adequate<br />
transportation system leaving its citizens<br />
in gridlock.<br />
The corporate tax race to the bottom<br />
allowed the multi-nationals to amass<br />
the lion’s share of the profits from our<br />
oil sands. It wasn’t their responsibility<br />
to build roads, bridges, schools and<br />
hospitals or fund police, doctors and<br />
universities.<br />
Corporations have no obligation to<br />
keep their oversized financial gains<br />
earned in Alberta here nor to reinvest<br />
and create and sustain jobs<br />
during a bust cycle.<br />
Therein lays the problem with the<br />
voodoo economics of low corporate<br />
taxes.<br />
Scandinavian countries have<br />
always held that a prosperous country<br />
requires a high level of public investment<br />
in education, infrastructure,<br />
basic research, technology, health and<br />
protection. In fact, investments by our<br />
governments in these areas during<br />
the golden age of the middle class (1950<br />
- 1980) also helped support private<br />
investment and equitably grow the<br />
economy.<br />
The wrong of globalization was to<br />
enable multi-national corporations and<br />
the wealthy to move their earnings to<br />
low-tax regimes away from the countries<br />
where the actual wealth was<br />
generated.<br />
Some $300 billion of Canadian<br />
wealth is today hoarded in offshore tax<br />
havens and the two richest Canadians<br />
own the same amount as the poorest 30<br />
per cent. Poorer people spend a higher<br />
percentage of their income and keep<br />
their cash re-circulating in their own<br />
backyard.<br />
Lougheed was the first and last<br />
Premier to treat Albertans as owners<br />
of their natural resources. As we were<br />
under the Social Credit government in<br />
the 1950s and 60s, we are again slaves<br />
to the oil industry – blaming Ottawa<br />
and clawing for leftovers as the<br />
majority of our wealth flees outside<br />
our borders.<br />
It’s like giving a pig access to the<br />
whole crib of corn and expecting some<br />
to be leftover for tomorrow . . . and the<br />
next day . . . and the next day.<br />

Defending credentials<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
In response to a letter titled, Fact<br />
checking needed, June 13, pg. 6, that<br />
criticized and disputed Dr. Tim Ball’s<br />
academic credentials and claimed that<br />
people need to check their facts – let me<br />
set the record straight.<br />
I am respectfully speculating that<br />
the author has gone to Wikipedia and<br />
or the infamous horribly biased<br />
DesmogBlog for his information.<br />
So to clarify, yes, it is true that Dr.<br />
Ball was a professor of geography at<br />
the University of Winnipeg, but the<br />
author ignored the fact that his Ph.D.<br />
was in historical climatology and he<br />
indeed is qualified to speak as an<br />
“expert” on climatology and the<br />
environment.<br />
Here is an excerpt from an article<br />
Dr. Ball wrote in <strong>20</strong>11 called “Ad<br />
hominem” from his own website: “I am<br />
accused of being a geographer as if<br />
that is a sin and somehow belittles my<br />
qualifications.<br />
“When I got my degree in climatology<br />
in 1982 from Queen Mary<br />
College at the University of London,<br />
there were very few climate research<br />
centres in the world. Two of the top<br />
ones were Hubert Lamb’s Climatic<br />
Research Unit (CRU) at East Anglia<br />
and Reid Bryson’s Climate Centre in<br />
Wisconsin.<br />
“Logically, the only department at<br />
the University of Winnipeg in which to<br />
place a climatologist was geography,<br />
since climatology was then a half of<br />
what was called physical geography.<br />
“There was a climate lab and office<br />
complex separate from the geography<br />
department (two floors higher).<br />
“Professor Bill Bell, who became<br />
State Climatologist in Georgia, occupied<br />
it first; and when he left, I moved<br />
into the complex and ran the climate<br />
program.<br />
So there was, in fact, a separate<br />
entity and facility related to climate.”<br />
So the Wikipedia article on Dr. Ball<br />
is guilty of omission, not commission.<br />
It does not lie when it says he was a<br />
professor of geography at the<br />
University of Winnipeg, but it does<br />
omit the fact that his doctorate was in<br />
climatology and that his career was<br />
spent teaching and researching in the<br />
field of climatology from within the<br />
geography department.<br />
I would encourage people to read the<br />
whole article called “Ad Hominem” at<br />
DrTimBall.ca.<br />
In addition to defending his academic<br />
credentials, he has some<br />
interesting information about the<br />
people behind the Desmogblog, namely<br />
their connections to the federal Liberal<br />
Party and the David Suzuki<br />
Foundation.<br />
It took me less than five minutes to<br />
find this and related information by<br />
searching the words “Dr. Tim Ball academic<br />
credentials” (not on Google,<br />
though; but that is another issue!).<br />
I do not wish to be too critical.<br />
It is very easy to be influenced by<br />
biased information on the internet that<br />
only tells half the story and I commend<br />
him for making the effort to investigate<br />
the climate change issue and<br />
write a letter about it.<br />

My mother Dorothy Yeats was born<br />
on Jan. 27, 1927 on the farm near<br />
Palmer, Sask.<br />
Her parents Harry and Lilian Shave<br />
were both originally from England.<br />
Out of this marriage came seven children,<br />

room and board, including a<br />
monthly allowance of $6,<br />
ultimately completing her Yeats<br />
degree as a Registered<br />
Nurse.<br />
She worked one year at Mossbank<br />
Hospital in Saskatchewan, then moved<br />
to Coronation, Alta. to work at the hospital<br />
there.<br />
My mother and father met at a dance<br />
that took place at Whittaker School.<br />
They were married on Oct. 27, 1952<br />
and shortly after moved into the house<br />
my dad built outside Coronation,<br />
where he farmed.<br />
I was the first born of three boys on<br />
May 27, 1954, then came Alan on Mar.<br />
14, 1964 and Donald on Oct. 21, 1966.<br />
After many years of working at the<br />
Coronation Hospital, my mom eventually<br />
became the matron of the nursing<br />
home until she retired.<br />
She enjoyed spending time with her<br />
grandchildren, Travis, Corey and<br />
Caitlyn.<br />
She had many different hobbies<br />
including gardening, photography,<br />
crafts and travelling whenever the<br />
opportunity presented itself.<br />
As time progressed, home care came<br />
to the house with meals and to check<br />
on her. Then one morning, when going<br />
outside, her hip broke. Luckily Sanna<br />
Olson found her and called the ambulance,<br />
so off to Red Deer we go.<br />
Mom pretty well went directly into<br />
surgery, so I was with her just<br />
outside the operating room<br />
where the nurses were prepping<br />
the patients. Out of a<br />
room came a surgeon who<br />
walked over to mom and<br />
talked to her about what was<br />
going to happen.<br />
After he was done, she<br />
asked him if when he was<br />
done fixing her hip, if he<br />
wouldn’t mind fixing her<br />
back. He took her hand and<br />
said, “Dear, when you are reborn, we<br />
will catch that on the second go<br />
around.”<br />
After her hip healed, we talked her<br />
into going into the nursing home. It<br />
was a struggle for a while until she got<br />
to know people and made friends.<br />
After a while, she needed more care<br />
and attention so she went to Long-<br />
Term Care where she has remained<br />
until June 10, <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong>.<br />

Courageous battle lost<br />
Randy Henderson courageously<br />

at the age of 58 years.<br />

was really cold all the<br />
time) is survived by his loving<br />
wife Wendy, son Ryan (Jen)<br />

nephews and many many friends.<br />
Randy was predeceased by his father<br />
William Leonard Harris and his stepfather<br />
Norman Brown and his<br />
parents-in-law Murray and Helen<br />
MacKay.<br />
Randy was born in Bonnyville, Alta.<br />
on Nov. <strong>20</strong>, 1960 and lived there for four<br />
years before moving to a farm near<br />
Forestburg, Alta.<br />
Aside from finding mischievous<br />
splendour, time well spent was often<br />
found in farm-related chores and 4-H<br />
activities, in which Randy was<br />
involved for several years.<br />
Randy was not noted to be a fan of<br />
school and in Grade 11 he dropped out<br />
halfway through the year and began a<br />
lifelong journey working for a living.<br />
Not afraid of hard work or trying<br />
new things, Randy experienced many<br />
OBITUARIES<br />
different jobs in different places, from<br />
road construction work in Bonnyville,<br />
grain elevator work in Hanna, Alta., to<br />
gravel crushing in Edmonton and<br />
truck driving.<br />
In July of 1978, Randy met his true<br />
love, Wendy MacKay and<br />
one year later was married<br />
to his sweetheart on Aug. 3,<br />
1979.<br />
Together they lived in<br />
Edmonton for a while and<br />
after a month and a half of<br />
married life, they then<br />
returned to Forestburg<br />
when Randy received a call<br />
to work at the Manalta Coal<br />
Henderson Mine where he remained for<br />
what would have been 40<br />
years in Sept. <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong>.<br />
Randy and Wendy resided in<br />
Forestburg for a few years and welcomed<br />
a new family addition when<br />
Ryan was born on Aug. 15, 1980.<br />
They were blessed again with a<br />
daughter Trinity on May 13, 1983.<br />
The family eventually relocated and<br />
moved to Botha, Alta. where they still<br />
reside.<br />
The Henderson Saga continues to<br />
this day and remains for over 41 years<br />
and counting.<br />

Well known, respected<br />
business owner<br />
TWA, Gordon Lloyd<br />
1944 – <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong><br />
It is with heavy hearts that we<br />
announce the passing of Gordon Lloyd<br />
Twa of Coronation, Alta. on Fri. Jun. 7,<br />
<strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong> at the age of 74 years.<br />
He will be greatly missed by all his<br />
family and friends.<br />
Gordon was born on Sept. 1, 1944 in<br />
Coronation, Alta. to John<br />
and Grace Twa, the second<br />
oldest of 11 children.<br />
He was raised on the farm<br />
in the Talbot District and<br />
attended schools in Talbot,<br />
Brownfield, Coronation and<br />
Clive.<br />
Gordon married Lynda<br />
Milne on Jan. <strong>20</strong>, 1967 in<br />
Coronation, Alta.<br />
After moving to Pincher<br />
Creek, Alta., Gordon and<br />
Lynda moved to Red Deer where their<br />
first son, Talbot was born.<br />
The family then relocated to Calgary<br />
where Gordon purchased his first<br />
welding truck.<br />
Here, they welcomed the birth of<br />
their second son, Lee.<br />
In April 1969, Gordon and his family<br />
embarked on a new journey to High<br />
River, Alta, opening his first welding<br />
shop and finally coming back home to<br />
Coronation in September 1970.<br />
Another welding shop was opened<br />
shortly after, operating until 1984.<br />
Twa’s Welding was a well-known<br />
and respected business, providing service<br />
to the surrounding area and<br />
Gordon was involved with the<br />
Coronation Elks, fire department and<br />
various community projects.<br />
Gordon joined the Elks in 1974 and<br />
was a member for over 40 years, even<br />
serving as the Exalted Ruler from<br />
1978-1979.<br />
He was a volunteer fireman for 35<br />
years, receiving a special award from<br />
the Country of Canada for his service<br />
and was one of only 180 firemen in<br />
Canada to receive this award.<br />
Gordon continually donated time<br />
and resources to the development and<br />
upkeep of the Coronation rodeo<br />
grounds and instilled the community<br />
spirit in all his employees.<br />
Gordon continued to operate a portable<br />
welding truck, working all over<br />
Western Canada, until <strong>20</strong>05.<br />
He transitioned to a consultant position<br />
and began the next chapter of his<br />
life.<br />
Gordon and Lynda continued to<br />
travel in the United States, primarily<br />
in Arizona and Texas.<br />
After the passing of his first wife,<br />
Lynda, in <strong>20</strong>11, Gordon met the second<br />
love of his life, Leah Jansen Norris in<br />
Arizona.<br />
They were married on Oct.<br />
24, <strong>20</strong>14, continuing to live in<br />
Coronation.<br />
Their winters were spent in<br />
Arizona, enjoying the company<br />
of many good friends<br />
they met in Arizona, as well<br />
as fellow ‘snowbirds’ from<br />
Canada.<br />
He enjoyed camping,<br />
fishing and playing cards and<br />
table games with family and<br />
friends.<br />
After a lengthy battle with cancer,<br />
Gordon is now resting in peace.<br />
Although sickness robbed him of a<br />
future, he will always be remembered<br />
by those he encountered as a strong<br />
man, with a love for life.<br />
Gordon will be lovingly remembered<br />
by his devoted wife, Leah Twa; sons<br />
Talbot Twa of Ponoka, Alta. and Lee<br />
(Tracey) Twa of Blackfalds, Alta.; stepdaughter<br />
Shannon and two<br />
granddaughters, Danea and Shania.<br />
He will also be fondly remembered<br />
by his three brothers, Stewart<br />
(Marjorie) Twa of Veteran, Alta., Lyle<br />
Twa of Alix, Alta. and Wayne Twa of<br />
Ponoka, Alta.<br />
He is also remembered by his three<br />
sisters, Bernice Clausen of Stettler,<br />
Alta., Bonnie (John) Twa of Bentley,<br />
Alta., and Sherry (Doug) Twa of<br />
Ponoka, Alta. , two sisters-in-law<br />
Margaret Twa and Elvia Twa, as well<br />
as multiple nieces and nephews.<br />
Gordon was predeceased by his wife,<br />
Lynda Twa; his parents, John and<br />
Grace Twa, and his brothers, Robert,<br />
Kenneth, Charles and Stanley Twa.<br />

Castor violin recital<br />
and hootenanny<br />
impressed audience<br />
Submitted<br />
Castor violin students hosted a<br />
recital and hootenanny at Castor Long-<br />
Term Care on Sat. June 15, <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong><br />
To honour Castor prairie-pioneer<br />
heritage, violin teacher Carol Ries<br />
opened the recital with Old-Time Barn-<br />
Dance polka favourite “Soldier’s Joy.”<br />
Then it was time for the budding violinists<br />
to pick up their bows<br />
accompanied by Ries on piano.<br />
Jessica Boizard played lively toe-tapping<br />
“The Cowboy” and a lovely<br />
classical melody “Andante in C Major<br />
Op. 22 No.1” by Edward Elgar.<br />
Chantel Green played favourite folk<br />
songs like “Mary Had a Little Lamb,”<br />
“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and<br />
famous fiddle tune “Bile ‘em Cabbage<br />
Down.”<br />
Tegan Younger played Beethoven’s<br />
Ninth Symphony “Ode to Joy” theme,<br />
Unwavering work ethic<br />
Cont’d from Pg 7<br />
He would later have the opportunity<br />
to purchase D&L Services from Doug.<br />
Through 22 years of “prompt and<br />
efficient” service, Dale built many<br />
strong friendships and became known<br />
for his unwavering work ethic.<br />
Dale met Denise at church youth<br />
group and they married on Nov. 3,<br />
1984.<br />
They started their family in 1989<br />
when Cody was born and went on to<br />
have two more children, Jamie and<br />
Sonya.<br />
Dale’s passion was water-skiing.<br />
He took pride in taking people to the<br />
Castor Reservoir, his hidden gem adjacent<br />
to his farm and teaching them<br />
how to ski.<br />
You had to be brave to be on a boat<br />
with Dale as his athleticism and daredevil<br />
nature always made for great<br />
entertainment.<br />
He also enjoyed curling, golfing and<br />
fishing.<br />
Dale’s strength and selflessness<br />
shone through until his final breath.<br />
He will be remembered by his contagious<br />
grin and sharp wit, which left<br />
our hearts full of fond memories.<br />
He will never be forgotten.<br />
Dale is survived by his loving<br />
family: his wife Denise; sons Cody<br />
(Karey) and Jamie (Andrea); and<br />
daughter Sonya (Chad Bauman).<br />
Dale was expecting his first grandchild<br />
this July.<br />
He is also survived by his mother<br />
Erma Marquart; brother Darcy<br />
(Cassie) Marquart; and sisters Julie<br />
(Winston) McFarland and Bonnie<br />
(Wallace) McComish; father-in-law<br />
Cecil Lewis; brothers-in-law Randy<br />
(Marilyn) Lewis and Brent<br />
(Dyanna) Lewis; other family and<br />
French lullaby “Playing Ball on the<br />
Stairs” and Royal Conservatory of<br />
Music repertoire “Pony Trot.”<br />
A rousing sing-a-long fiddle-andspoons<br />
“She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the<br />
Mountain”, complete with “yee-haws”,<br />
rounded out the “hootenanny” component<br />
of the event.<br />
Ries also teaches violin in Stettler,<br />
Alta. where her students are showing<br />
great promise.<br />
Her students Laia Chesla and<br />
Kristine Chesla have been nominated<br />
for an award for a duet they performed<br />
at the Stettler Music Festival and<br />
Laura Hebbes who travelled with her<br />
violin to Hawaii with the Stettler<br />
Senior Band.<br />
Students are experiencing many<br />
exciting opportunities through music,<br />
the universal language that unites us<br />
all!<br />
many dear friends.<br />
He is predeceased by his father<br />
Richard Marquart and mother-in-law<br />
Betty Lewis.<br />

Kneehill Historical Society Museum President Rosalie Lammle at the Sat.<br />
June 8 ribbon cutting for a CNR portable bunkhouse. The bunkhouse,<br />
used in the Sunnyslope–Linden area from the 1930s to 1970s, was<br />
donated to the Three Hills Museum by the late Jim Berry. With the help<br />
of a $4,228 Kneehill County community grant to non-profit organizations<br />
and ongoing restoration assistance from volunteers, the bunkhouse now<br />
plays an active role in presenting county history. In addition to the ribbon<br />
cutting, the museum welcomed many visitors to its annual pioneer times<br />
demonstration day featuring rope making, printmaking, typesetting, and a<br />
point-arrowhead display.<br />

Rank Riders 4-H Club update<br />
by Club Reporters Maisie Burlock<br />
and Tess Shannon<br />
The Rank Riders 4-H club hosted the<br />
4-H east central ski night on Mar. 15 at<br />
the Alliance ski hill. All of the runs<br />
were open and groomed.<br />
There were snacks and the chalet<br />
was always full.<br />
We held a goat tying clinic on Apr. 5<br />
with Tori Brower, where the older kids<br />
worked on goat tying while the<br />
younger kids worked on the<br />
assessments.<br />
Three Hills<br />
Thrashers<br />
taking year off<br />
from league<br />
Terri Huxley<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
With <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong>/<strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> season fast<br />
approaching, the Three Hills<br />
Thrashers requested and received a<br />
one year leave of absence from the<br />
Heritage Junior Hockey League.<br />
The decision was not made lightly<br />
but the Thrasher board members felt<br />
that by taking a year off from icing a<br />
team, it would give them the opportunity<br />
and time needed to build a<br />
stronger board, build a more competitive<br />
team and become a bigger part of<br />
the community going forward.<br />
The last few seasons have been difficult<br />
for the team as a whole from<br />
attracting players, attracting board<br />
members and<br />
being involved in<br />
the community.<br />
These are very<br />
important elements<br />
of having a<br />
successful Jr. B<br />
team.<br />
The board is<br />
hopeful that this<br />
will not be the<br />
end of the<br />
Thrashers, but a<br />
new beginning as<br />
they work hard<br />
for the following<br />
season to recruit<br />
board members<br />
and strengthen<br />
the team.<br />

A potluck lunch followed<br />
the clinic.<br />
We had a quick meeting,<br />
and some members did their<br />
public speaking.<br />
A 4-H Fun Day was held in<br />
Lougheed, Alta. on Apr. 13.<br />
Judging was done in the<br />
morning, and then we did<br />
the fun stuff in the<br />
afternoon.<br />
On Apr. 16 we had a<br />
roping clinic at Forestburg,<br />
Alta.<br />
This was one of three<br />
roping clinics held in April.<br />
We hosted a Kade Mills<br />
Horsemanship clinic on Apr.<br />
19 in Forestburg where we<br />
worked on turning and on<br />
getting the correct leads.<br />
A hotdog lunch was provided,<br />
after which we<br />
worked on rodeo events.<br />

Rules laid out in first decision lacked follow-through<br />
Cont’d from Pg 3<br />
The Appellant has appealed the<br />
deemed refusal of the application.<br />
As a recurring theme of incompleteness,<br />
the County of Stettler came to the<br />
sight for an inspection where they<br />
found many of the rules outlined in the<br />
first SDAB decision were not being<br />
upheld.<br />
Of the 113 RV’s occupying a space,<br />
315 sites were available.<br />
This total amount exceeded the<br />
SDAB’s original decision of 168 sites<br />
for the development.<br />
Other structural issues like landscaping<br />
and unsafe sloping were found<br />
as well as a lack of emergency escape<br />
routes.<br />
A stop work order was issued on<br />
May 17 due to these infractions<br />
Applications are reviewed on a case<br />
by case basis.<br />
The Appellant took the position that<br />
apart from a reduction in the number<br />
of campsites, the Application was the<br />
same as the <strong>20</strong>18 Application.<br />
Therefore, the Development<br />
Authority should have made its decision<br />
based on the documents<br />
submitted for the <strong>20</strong>18 Application.<br />
The SDAB was of the view that the<br />
county is under no obligation to do so.<br />
It is open for the Development<br />
Authority to request additional information<br />
on a subsequent application<br />
even if the subsequent application is<br />
identical to a previous application.<br />

Stettler Auction Mart co-founder<br />
entering Canadian Auction Mart<br />
honour roll posthumously<br />
Terri Huxley<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
Charlie McKay, cofounder<br />
of the Stettler<br />
Auction Mart, was inducted<br />
into the Canadian Auction<br />
Mart Honour Roll posthumously<br />
on Sat. June 1<br />
in Leduc, Alta. for the<br />
Livestock Markets<br />
Association of<br />
Canada convention.<br />
McKay was originally<br />
from Ireland<br />
but immigrated to the<br />
Stettler area with his<br />
family, including his<br />
parents and 11<br />
siblings.<br />
Born and raised<br />
on a farm, McKay had<br />
the skills necessary to raise<br />
and learn how to produce<br />
quality livestock but his love<br />
of the industry and skill set<br />
turned him to<br />
auctioneering.<br />
Multiple hours were<br />
spent riding horses or in the<br />
tractor singing and honing<br />
his voice until the day<br />
arrived when Ace Pratt and<br />
he partnered together to<br />
build the first rural auction<br />
facility in Western Canada.<br />
“Our dad was a pioneer<br />
in the industry and were one<br />
of the first markets in<br />
western Canada. They had<br />
quite and vision,” said Doug<br />
McKay, one of Charlie’s five<br />
children. “The market is<br />
still going strong today.”<br />
The co-founders had<br />
created a solution to this<br />
problem by offering convenience,<br />
less shrinkage and<br />
stress on the animals and<br />
local hospitality when the<br />
auction mart opened in<br />
August of 1953.<br />
At the time, livestock was<br />
sold to terminal markets or<br />
sold to drovers working the<br />
land along the way.<br />
Producers<br />
were either forced<br />
to sell to these<br />
individuals,<br />
transport them<br />
by truck or train<br />
to a terminal<br />
market where it<br />
could take days to<br />
reach their destination<br />
and get<br />
their money out<br />
of it.<br />
To this day,<br />
auction marts<br />
across the<br />
country run<br />
through over one<br />
million head per<br />
year.<br />

familiar face in the communities<br />
of Coronation, Hanna<br />
and his hometown of Stettler<br />
as he opened and managed<br />
livestock markets in those<br />
locations.<br />
The cowboy sold everything<br />
from weekly auction<br />
sales to purebred<br />
cattle to<br />
farm equipment<br />
to 4-H sales and<br />
charity auctions<br />
all over central<br />
Alberta.<br />
He was a<br />
founding<br />
member of the<br />
national organization<br />
that<br />
recognized him<br />
on Sat. June 1 at<br />
the Executive Royal Hotel in<br />
Leduc as well as the Alberta<br />
Auction Mart Association.<br />
“Charlie was one of the<br />
few ever to stand the hair on<br />
the back of your neck as he<br />
could change octaves in his<br />
chant without ever breaking<br />
rhythm – a very rare talent,”<br />
said Jim Abel, one of the<br />
presenters at the event.<br />
“He was one of the best<br />
that we’ve known and we<br />
worked at a lot of auctions.<br />
When he was just a teenager<br />
he had a wonderful voice,<br />
kind of like that Wilf Carter<br />
sound,” added Doug. “That’s<br />
what he really enjoyed. He<br />
had heard one of the local<br />
auctioneers and he was fascinated<br />
with the whole<br />
thing. He was just a<br />
natural.”<br />
“He could be selling at one<br />
pitch and then all of a<br />
sudden he could almost<br />
change an octave. It would<br />
just drop and it was very<br />
smooth and almost melodic<br />
like music would be. He had<br />
quite an ability.”<br />
