GADSBY COUNCIL 

Gadsby viability 

study completion 

within sight 

Terri Huxley 

ECA Review 

Since the Village of 

Gadsby’s council resigned in 

May, steps have been taken 

to keep the village running 

smoothly. 

The financial portion of 

the viability study is complete 

while the 

infrastructure study is 

almost finished with a few 

more weeks left. 

Much of the village has 

been assessed by the County 

of Stettler staff as they have 

been contracted for administerial 

duties as well as 

helping the lone public 

works foreman for the 

village. 

Several issues, including 

4th Street construction, was 

addressed by Yvette Cassidy, 

County of Stettler Chief 

Administrative Officer 

(CAO). 

The previous council had 

applied to do the storm 

drainage improvements and 

4th Street paving project 

which was followed up on. 

Extra money from the 

Federal Gas Tax (FGT) 

budget has allowed for this 

to move forward. 

An approach was missed 

so they will be constructing 

that at a cost of $3,502 as 

well as lowering some lines 

for $3,852 and two twin culverts 

will be replaced as 

they are now completely 

rotted out at the bottom for 

$16,273. 

“[The contractor] didn’t 

put enough space between 

what he was doing and the 

Paintearth Gas Co-op lines 

and Paintearth Gas Co-op 

was a little upset so we have 

to lower the lines,” said 

Cassidy. 

Harold Johnsrude, the 

Official Administrator 

appointed by Municipal 

Affairs, approved the additional 

changes to the 

project. 

All of the extra expenditures 

totalling $23,627 will 

be paid for through the village’s 

federal gas tax grant. 

Wet weather has stalled 

progress on the 4th Street 

project but the county has 

already determined what 

they plan to do to make sure 

it is done properly. 

“There are four different 

areas that we are focusing 

on right now that we are 

aware of,” said Rick Green, 

County of Stettler director 

of engineering and public 

works. 

“One of them is obviously 

the contracted work going 

on 4th Street. Unfortunately, 

with all the wet weather the 

contractors are having a bad 

time out there as far as the 

ability to come in and finish.

Rochon Sands Estates Road 

patching concerns addressed 

Terri Huxley 


The County has received numerous 

concerns in recent years over the condition 

of the cold mix placed on the 

roads in the Rochon Sands Estates subdivision 

in 2012. 

After discussion at the regular 

council meeting on Wed. July 10, the 

county authorized public works to lift, 

apply a light oil, re-spread and compact 

the existing material throughout the 

subdivision to help alleviate issues. 

The recommended plan consists of 

lifting the existing surface course, 

drying and stabilizing the subgrade as 

required, richen the existing mix with 

DL-10 Special light oil, then place and 

compact the material. 

The County provided the cold mix 

application under a 50 per cent costshare 

agreement with landowners in 

the subdivision. 

The application consisted of the

county supplying and placing the 

required surface gravel, and the contractor 

mixing in place oil with the 

gravel, then placing and compacting 

it. 

Pre-mixed cold mix was imported 

for radiuses and cul-de-sacs and 

grader lay hot mix and compact at the 

intersection of Highway 835. 

This type of treatment had a three 

to five year lifespan depending on 

traffic and loadings. 

County maintenance has been 

patching areas annually for a few 

years now with asphalt, and they felt 

that a broader approach was required 

to effectively maintain the subdivision 

roads safely. 

“The slopes are too steep to hold the 

way they have been doing it,” said 

Rick Green, director of engineering 

and public works. 

“It’s much more cost effective than 

pothole patching which is onerous on 

staff and time and money.” 

Motor collision southeast of 

Three Hills leads to fatality 

Submitted 

Three Hills RCMP were dispatched 

to the report of a two-vehicle motor 

vehicle collision at the intersection of 

Hwy 582 and Hwy 21 on Sun. July 21 at 

11:04 a.m. 

A vehicle was travelling eastbound 

on Highway 582, came to a full stop 

and then proceeded 

into the 

intersection. 

The second 

vehicle travelling 

southbound collided 

with the 

eastbound vehicle. 

The 72-year-old 

female driver of 

the eastbound 

vehicle was pronounced 

deceased 

on the scene. 

The other 

vehicle occupants 

were transported 

to hospital but no 

injuries were 

reported. 

The collision is 

still under 

investigation. 

Mail theft in 

Cereal, 

Youngstown 

Sometime 

between the evening 

of July 10 and 

morning of July 

11, 2019, an 

unknown person 

or persons broke 

into the Canada 

Post Office in 

Cereal, Alta. and 

stole mail from 

the mail boxes. 

A similar occurrence 

happened at 

the Youngstown 

Post Office during 

the same time. 

However, the 

thieves didn’t gain

access to those mail boxes but did 

cause damage to them.

this or any other unsolved crime, 

please call the Hanna RCMP

Byemoor pipe replacement 

A leaky 80-year-old pipe in Byemoor 

will soon be replaced after County of 

Stettler council awarded the contract 

to Action Plumbing. 

The replacement is expected to cost 

$44,000 with funding coming from 

reserves. 

Three companies were contacted 

and instructed to provide a quote to 

replace the existing two inch line and 

upgrade it to a three inch line, 

including approximately 930 feet of 

line, open cut, “2 - 3” valves, one flush 

hydrant, and a tie on to four existing 

services. 

The pipe has been patched several 

times in the past. 

County Shop solar proposals 

Council made a motion to look at 

options to outfit the county shop with 

grid connected solar. 

At the time of the motion last year, 

market conditions were not favourable 

and the technology was still in its 

infancy. 

Money has been added to a new 

grant program by 25 per cent. 

The county put out a request for 

prices. Five companies came forward. 

Administration was solely seeking 

permission to bring the proposals forward 

at this time. 

Broadcasting public meetings 

The votes are in and the people have

to be a valuable resource when staying 

informed on local politics. 

Over 200 responses from a cross section 

of citizens were taken into 

account. 

The policy committee reviewed the 

current policy on June 25. 

At the table, there was discussion 

around whether or not there was a possibility 

to record the meetings and 

publish them afterwards by not having 

a live broadcast. 

Concerns were raised about the perceptions 

around editing, and whose 

responsibility it would be to both edit 

and use discretion as to what would be 

edited out. 

There would have to be a significant 

investment of staff time to go with this 

option. 

A discussion was also held around 

expanding the scope of the live meetings 

to automatically include 

committee meetings and public hearings 

– like the Municipal Planning 

Commission, Agricultural Service 

Board and other public hearings. 

Council chose to make no changes 

after finding the answer to be “loud 

and clear that people enjoy watching 

us discuss points of government in the 

County of Stettler.”

HANNA COUNCIL 

Student exchange program on track 

Eileen Morrill 


A very happy 16-year-old 

Jaala Hill was an invited guest 

at the Tues. July 9 meeting of 

the Hanna Town Council. 

Hill, who will be entering 

Grade 12 at J.C.Charyk High 

School in the fall, has been 

chosen to represent the Town of 

Hanna through the Hanna- 

Wake Student Exchange 

Program and council requested 

her presence so they could meet 

her and congratulate her on 

being chosen as the successful 

applicant. 

Hill is expected to leave for 

Japan on Aug. 3. 

The Town of Hanna requires 

that the students from Hanna 

be responsible for 50 per cent of 

their airfare costs while the 

town will cover the remaining 

half. 

Hill agreed to attend another 

council meeting at the end of 

the summer and report back on 

her journey. 

Coun. Connie Deadlock 

explained that in meeting 

Hanna’s host responsibilities for 

the exchange program, three 

students and a chaperone from 

Wake arrived in Hanna on Mon. 

July 22. 

The Hill family will be the 

home stay family for the Wake 

students and the Halter family 

will host the chaperone. 

Homestay families are 

responsible for any costs associated 

with hosting the visitors. 

Student host Mrs. Hill, in 

response to questions from 

Councillor Beaudoin, stated 

that the host committee has 

lined up a busy 12 days for the 

group including a welcome 

event, a drive to Banff, a day at 

Calgary’s Calloway Park and a 

visit to a Hutterite Colony. 

Damien C. Kurek was named the official 

conservative candidate for the Battle 

River-Crowfoot constituency after the 

announcement made on July 17 in 

Camrose. Kurek grew up in Consort, Alta. 

and has a lengthy history in politics, 

including his most recent job working 

under previous conservative MP Kevin 

Sorenson who announced his retirement 

earlier this year. ECA Review/T.Huxley 

Task force terminated 

Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Kim Neill reported that 

on June 12, Doug Giffiths, CEO 

of 13 Ways Inc., the consultant 

who has been instrumental in 

guiding Hanna away from its 

economic reliance on the coalpowered 

generation industry, 

attended a Cactus Corridor 

Economic Development 

Committee (CCEDC) meeting 

following his time with council 

that morning working on a strategic 

plan. 

Neill stated, “Doug has indicated 

that it is time to terminate 

the task force and transfer all 

responsibility for economic 

development and coal transition 

initiatives to CCEDC. 

This includes any work or 

follow-up with the active 

Community Action Team (CAT) 

and those CAT teams that are 

still active would work under 

the direction of CCEDC. 

“An event is being planned for 

the evening of July 30 for the 

Task Force and the CAT teams 

to update Doug and hear from 

Doug his vision on Economic 

Development for the Region 

moving forward.” 

Fire department accepts call 

Fire Chief David Mohl 

reported that on June 18 the 

province requested a truck and 

crew be dispatched to High 

Level to be put on stand-by for 

its out-of-control wildfire. 

The Hanna crew with truck, 

who usually have 12 hours to 

prepare for similar emergencies, 

were on the road within 

two hours. 

Mohl explained that using 

Hanna fire services rather than 

Edmonton or Calgary was very 

necessary because the High 

Level Office was looking for a 

Type 3 (grass fire) Engine, “plus 

our firefighters are trained 

grass fire fighters.” 

The crew went on an eightday 

deployment and returned 

safely back to Hanna on June 

26. 

Contracts approved 

Council unanimously passed 

a motion to enter into an agreement 

with 13 Way Inc. to retain 

their services to complete the 

Town of Hanna Brand Identity 

Project at a cost not to exceed 

$42,000. 

Funds will be accessed from 

either the Coal Community 

Transition Fund from the provincial 

government, the 

Western Economic 

Diversification from the federal 

government, or transferring 

funds from the Town of Hanna 

Accumulated Surplus. 

Neill stated that discussion 

has taken place with 13 Ways 

Inc. around the importance of 

ensuring Hanna’s brand identity 

is aligned with the outcome 

and objectives of the strategic 

plan. 

Neill said 13 Ways Inc. is to 

deliver focus and build on the 

community of Hanna’s competitive 

advantages and what 

makes it unique with special 

consideration to factors such as 

history, demographics, infrastructure, 

culture, economic 

foundation and opportunities, 

quality of life factors, as well as 

other discovered factors. 

The company will also focus 

on logo creation, colour palette, 

template, website and all-inclusive 

branding guide as well as 

prepare the municipality for the 

subsequent phase of communicating 

and marketing the town 

of Hanna. 

Following completion of this 

project there will be the expectation 

that there may be further 

costs associated with replacement 

of town building signage, 

town letterhead and any other 

marketing materials that may 

have the current town logo. 

Traffic concerns 

Council approved a motion to 

retain MPE Engineering to conduct 

a review of options to 

alleviate traffic issues on West 

Industrial Road and provide 

council with options including 

estimated costs at the scheduled 

Aug. 13 council meeting. 

Council discussed the suggestion 

and agreed cost and soil 

conditions are primary 

concerns. 

Neill said that if this issue is 

resolved this road may be 

included in the 2020 capital program 

or, if time permits, there 

may be an option to do something 

this fall. 

Skunks spotted in town 

Adrian Mohl, Director of 

Protective Services, in his 

report noted that skunks are 

active on the west side of town. 

Skunk traps are lent to property 

owners by Protective 

Services. 

Homeowners need to be vigilant 

because sometimes cats are 

caught in the traps instead of 

skunks. 

“People who place their 

weekly garbage bags on the 

ground in the alley instead of 

in proper garbage receptacles 

are inviting these little 

unwanted critters to a free 

meal,” stated Mohl. 

“They are also encouraging 

crows, magpies, 

seagulls, cats and occasionally 

dogs to do the same, 

often leaving a huge mess in 

the alley.” 

Archives proposal 

Discussions between the 

Hanna Library Board and 

the Hanna Museum have 

started, acting on a request 

from the Hanna Historical 

Society to house museum 

archives in the library. 

The Library Board leases 

their premises from the 

Town of Hanna and this 

contract expires at year end 

in 2031. 

The two boards would like 

council’s approval up front 

before they proceed with 

renovations and incur costs. 

The town provides both 

the library and the museum 

with operating grants. 

Council discussed the 

matter and unanimously 

supported the proposal.

already a framework for

PAINTEARTH COUNTY COUNCIL 

Circle Square Ranch apprehensive of CETO project 

Terri Huxley 


Circle Square Ranch co-director 

Kevin Perry and Bernie Doan came to 

council on Tues. July 16 to discuss the 

adverse effects the Central East 

Transfer Out (CETO) project could 

have on the non-profit camp 

organization. 

Over 150,000 people have walked 

through the doors of the ‘old motel’ 

since the 1970s when it opened and the 

ranch sees roughly 200 people per 

week. 

It is one of nine under Intervarsity, 

an Ontario nonprofit 

organization that 

hosts youth and 

multiple other 

organizations all 

year round 

including international 

visitors. 

“It is a very 

valuable thing 

geared towards 

mostly kids, 

youth and its 

leadership development 

so for us 

we really have a 

big concern with 

this,” began 

Perry. 

Perry mentioned 

that 

roughly $45,000 

is spent monthly 

with local businesses, 

making it 

a vital economic 

engine within 

the east central 

region. 

The other 

underlying concern 

is the visual 

beauty of the 

property which 

may be tarnished 

with the massive 

power lines in sight. 

They did acknowledge the wind turbines 

that are already visible to the 

southeast but disclosed that some 

groups have simply left because of 

their presence as they come from 

urban centres in hopes of escaping that 

reality for the peaceful countryside 

experience. 

Many of the outdoor activities are 

based around the diverse landscape 

including the valley to the south as 

well. 

“For future development we really 

want to have a voice and to also have 

you guys understand that you can be a

EDITORIAL 

Nothing charitable 

about mind 

manipulation 

B. Schimke 


Premier Jason Kenney is right to 

question the activities of charitable 

organizations, he’s just wrong to focus 

on one small group of charities. 

Charitable organizations, with tax-free 

status and authority to issue tax 

deductible receipts, are privileged 

indeed. Yet charity laws are fraught 

with enforcement challenges and competing 

interests. 

Hunters, businesses and communities 

reap economic benefits from 

Ducks Unlimited even though there 

are other rural Albertans opposed to 

their water diversion schemes. Many 

environmentalists would applaud their 

commitment to wetland development 

but frown on foreign hunters coming 

to kill birds. 

“ 

under the guise of 

independent researchers, 

they pump out reports to 

sway public opinion and 

economic policy. 

Kenney is teaching us to hate environmental 

groups opposing the 

pipeline, yet Ducks Unlimited is also 

an environmental group. 

The same can be said for religious 

institutions. Few may dispute the right 

of Judeo-Christian churches to have 

charitable status, yet can the same be 

said for Muslim mosques or Jewish 

Synagogues? 

Throughout history, Jews have been 

hated as money grabbers and many 

believe mosques are incubators of terrorism. 

Even today some churches 

seem to promote right-wing politics as 

synonymous with Christian values, 

especially as witnessed in the United 

States. 

These examples are simply used to 

show how conflicted we are when discussing 

who is abusing their charitable 

status. Governments could eliminate 

charitable status altogether, but a 

better option might be to audit the 

donors—does their donation lead to 

personal financial gain? The obvious 

“ 

OPINION 

targets for such audits would be ‘think 

tanks’. 

Two think tanks most often quoted 

in Alberta are the Parkland Institute 

on the left and the Fraser Institute on 

the right. Under the guise of independent 

researchers, they pump out 

reports to sway public opinion and economic 

policy. Yet both can cherry-pick 

data to shape public perspective in line 

with their donor’s wishes. It’s hard to 

imagine how Parkland Institute 

donors would gain personal wealth, 

but the same cannot be said for the 

donors of the Fraser Institute. 

Right-wing ideology think tanks, 

founded by wealthy Americans, 

started to proliferate in the US in the 

1970s. The Koch Brothers were the 

leaders in this movement and today 

they are the largest donor of foreign 

dollars to the Fraser Institute. 

The Koch Brothers wealth is oil 

and gas; their mantra is climate 

change denial and their investment in 

the Alberta oil sands is significant. 

Their large donations to right-wing 

think tanks, on both sides of the 

border, protects and grows their personal 

wealth and has been highly 

successful. 

Liberal and Conservative political 

parties and the Canadian public have 

bought into their mantra that low 

taxes, few regulations, small government 

and trickle-down economics 

benefit everyone. 

Nothing is further from the truth, 

but it is a testament to the power of 

money. Today, corporations run governments 

for the good of corporations, 

and in the United States they own the 

White House. 

As Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize 

winner said, “When you have a few 

people who are so wealthy that they 

can effectively buy the political system, 

the political system is going to tend to 

serve their interests”. 

Charitable organizations should 

face regular audits, but think tanks, 

not environmental groups, need our 

special attention. Think tanks, as the 

name implies, tries to influence our 

minds to their way of thinking. The 

Koch Brothers’ 35-year investment in 

think tanks has indeed been a financial 

windfall for the wealthiest one per 

cent of the one per cent. 

Today, right-wing think tanks are 

powerful political bodies of influence 

at our highest levels of government. 

Since there is nothing charitable about 

mind manipulation, all think tanks, 

including those on the left, need to be 

stripped of their charitable status, now. 

The opinions expressed are not necessarily 

the opinions of this newspaper. 

MAIL BAG 

Sick at heart 

Dear Editor, 

Here we go again, the Canadian 

media parroting all the left wing 

media of the United States. 

From the terrible Antifa organization 

to the Democratic so called 

freshmen, we are treated to not only 

hateful words but very vulgar potty 

language. 

Add to that the violent attacks by an 

organization that claims to be anti-fascist 

makes some of us sick at heart. 

What most individuals like these 

love to do is call everyone else by the 

very names that describe them. It 

shows they suffer from the lack of 

knowledge as to what these words even 

mean. 

What is it that disturbs most of 

society? 

Not the colour of one’s skin, not their 

gender and not their religion, or their 

race. It is their policies and their 

character! 

Definition of insanity 

Dear Editor, 

Well, here we go again! Round two 

begins of consultations with ATCO and 

AltaLink. 

Apparently, landowners provided 

too much input and it confused the 

companies, or so they would want you 

to believe. 

Remember the definition of insanity: 

Doing the same thing and expecting 

different results? 

In this round, both companies are 

pushing landowners to commit to 

accepting a route, with a ‘what can you 

live with’ scenario. 

I encourage those who have not yet 

done so to submit your concerns and 

route suggestions again. 

In the second package you received 

from ATCO or Altalink there is a form 

for you to complete and submit called 

‘Shape the Conversation’. 

If mailing, please keep a copy. There 

will be no more open houses. Route 

Their policies because they are dangerous 

and insulting, their character 

because they don’t have one. 

Donald Trump is not running our 

country so why do Canadians think 

they have to hate him? What difference 

does it make to you what he says or 

does? 

We have our own problems in 

Canada and Alberta, so why, oh why, 

do we have to listen to our press trash 

the President of the United States on a 

regular basis? 

Investigative journalism is dead in 

most quarters of this country and 

when CBC has a budget of millions of 

dollars and then mimics CNN they 

should be docked a few month’s salary! 

Put on your gum boots reporters and 

find your own press items! Your rhetoric 

has become tiresome. 

Apologies to the Review. 

Faye Pearson 

Stettler, Alta. 

selections will be made and applied for 

at AUC. 

It’s unfortunate these companies are 

allowed to manipulate this process of 

consultation. 

How simple would it have been to 

present two routes in the very beginning, 

knowing the two routes would 

have allowed landowners to engage in 

meaningful dialogue? 

If landowners actually had property 

rights, these companies would be 

forced to consult and negotiate while 

respecting landowners’ rights, eliminating 

their divide and conquer 

strategy! 

I recently attended a Paintearth 

County Council meeting in response to 

a letter of concern with the CETO 

project, published in the East Central 

Alberta Review, regarding Paintearth 

Council’s position on Halkirk 1 and 2 

wind turbine projects.

LEGISLATURE 

Legislature session ends 

by Nate Horner 

MLA Drumheller-Stettler 

The first session of Alberta’s 

30th Legislature has concluded. 

For a first timer it seemed to 

drag-on and be a blur at the 

same time. 

It was a productive session 

passing 13 bills in total and fulfilling 

many campaign 

promises. 

It was also one for the 

record books as twice the 

record was broken for 

consecutive sitting hours, 

including a 46-hour marathon 

to end the session. 

After session, the 

majority of caucus 

rushed to Calgary for the 

Stampede. 

I had the pleasure of 

meeting a few Canadian political 

leaders, including Premier 

of Saskatchewan Scott Moe and 

the Premier of New Brunswick 

Blaine Higgs. 

It was quite a sight seeing five 

Canadian premiers flipping 

pancakes side by side. 

It is plain to see that they 

enjoyed being in Alberta and 

Horner 

seemed to have a great amount 

of respect and appreciation for 

Premier Kenney. 

I also had the chance to meet 

Andrew Scheer. I had never met 

him before and found him to be 

a really engaging person that 

made time for everyone. 

I had no idea he was that tall. 

He must be six-footfour. 

Stature aside, 

he was very 

impressive one-onone. 

He has a 

positive vision for 

Canada and sees 

Alberta as the economic 

engine. 

One of our campaign 

promises 

that I look forward 

to fulfilling is the 

repealing of Bill 6. 

We said that we would repeal 

the Bill and replace it with the 

Farm Freedom and Safety Act, 

but not before consulting with 

Albertans. 

We are in the planning stages 

of a Rural Crime Tour as well. 

It is looking like it will take 

place in September and will 

include the Minister of Justice, 

Doug Schweitzer. 

The Minister is well aware 

that our riding has been hit 

hard by rural crime and I 

expect we will be heavily 

involved. 

The Alberta Citizens on 

Patrol convention is in 

Drumheller this year, from 

Sept. 20 to 22. 

That seems like a natural fit 

for the tour, but if anyone has 

any other events or ideas please 

reach out. 

We have moved into our new 

office in Stettler and it should 

be up and running shortly, just 

waiting on internet and the 

security system from the 

Legislative Assembly Office. 

They have been swamped due 

to so many new MLA’s, new 

boundaries and many office 

changes. We have a new location 

in Drumheller coming 

soon as well. We are just 

working out some lease issues.

Amazed at council’s response 

Cont’d from Pg 6 

Circle Square Ranch made a very 

good presentation regarding the proposed 

Halkirk 2 project and the 

proposed transmission route, outlining 

the negative effects which these 

projects will have on their operation. 

The transmission line crosses in 

front of the gateway to their ranch. 

I was amazed at council’s response 

to their presentation. 

They clearly showed lack of concern. 

They even doubted the impact of wind 

turbines and transmission lines on the 

Ranch. 

At the very least, council should 

have made a motion to send a letter of 

support stating the transmission line 

should not be routed anywhere near 

Circle Square. 

At a time when rural communities 

are struggling with revenue and population 

numbers, an organization such 

as Circle Square needs to be recognized 

as a valuable asset to the 

Paintearth County. 

Circle Square Ranch is a non-profit 

organization that has been operating 

in this area for 41 years. During peak 

season, they host around 5,000 guests 

and employ 60 staff and volunteers, so 

there are 220 people on the ranch each 

week. 

Since 1978, over 150,000 people 

Ironman Scrap 

Metal Recovery 

. . . is picking up 

scrap again! 

• farm machinery 

• vehicles • industrial 

worldwide have graced this 

area. Plus, Circle Square 

spends approximately 

$45,000. per month at local 

businesses. 

Their programs are specifically 

designed around 

the beautiful Paintearth 

coulees. People come to see 

rural Alberta, they come for 

the view. If the number of 

visitors decline due to visual 

pollution caused by the 

transmission line and wind 

turbines, Circle Square 

would be forced to sell and 

move elsewhere. 

Can Paintearth County 

afford to lose this organization 

and tourist attraction? 

Federal, provincial and 

municipal governments 

need to fully address the 

implications of the decisions 

they make.

Open house 

marks next 

step in Huxley 

grain terminal 

construction 

David Nadeau 


For Jean Schmidt, the contrast 

could not be more stark. 

Where once she and her late husband 

ran a quiet Huxley-area grain 

farm, GrainConnect’s multi-million 

dollar inland grain terminal and its 

four kilometre circular rail siding 

enters final construction stages. 

“I’m having trouble believing my 

eyes”, said Schimdt who now resides in 

Innifail. 

Schmidt, her son Ben, daughter 

Judi, and close to 500 area residents 

and producers participated in the 

multi-national grain company’s July 

17 open house that included a locally 

catered lunch and networking at the 

Huxley ball field. Guided elevator 

tours of the 78 hectare site located 

south of Huxley off of Highway 21 were 

given as well. 

GrainsConnect administrator 

Lorraine Jacobs described the Huxley 

open house as a casual get together 

and welcoming of neighbours. 

Company President Warren Stow 

said the company, founded in 2016 with 

its Canadian offices in Calgary, is 

owned by Australian and American 

interests and will partner with P&H to 

own and operate a Vancouver grain 

terminal. 

“After the Huxley facility opens for 

business this September,” said Stow, 

“we could eventually have as many as 

eight staff in the elevator, six in the 

office, and 78 trucks rolling through 

here in a 10-hour day.” 

When in full operation, a producer’s 

truck can be unloaded in less than 12 

minutes and a 140-car train can be 

filled in eight hours. 

Stow anticipates annual throughput 

at approximately 400,000 tons. 

In an interview, Kneehill County 

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) 

Mike Haugen said the County did not 

spend any infrastructure money to 

make the facility possible and that the 

County, based on similar facilities, 

would expect yearly tax revenue to 

exceed $150,000—“but this is only a 

rough estimate; the actual amount is 

yet to be determined.” 

When asked to comment on 

Huxley’s potential benefit from 

employment at the site or economic 

opportunity from the traffic coming to 

the site, Haugen said, “These present 

opportunities. Future tax revenues 

collected from the development will 

aid the County in delivering services 

and replacing needed infrastructure 

throughout the County.”

Friends precious to her 

Mary Elizabeth was born Jan. 13, 

1940 in Lloydminster, Sask. to Frank 

and Elsie Wroe who lived in 

McLaughlin, Sask. 

She joined older siblings 

Jeanne and Dwayne and the 

family was eventually completed 

with the arrival of 

Darlene. 

Mary is survived by her 

children, Debora (Ron) 

Vanlanduyt, Kim (Christine) 

Hubert and Susan Posma; 

grandchildren, Chelsey 

Vanlanduyt, Whitney (Carson) Hubert 

Sutton, Bryce Vanlanduyt, 

Travis Vanlanduyt, David (Coreina) 

Hubert, Jennifer (Don Rasmussen) 

Robinson, Ashley (Davis) Gray, Cheryl 

(Jack Hart) Hubert, Geoffrey (Jennifer) 

Posma and Jamie Posma. 

She is also survived by great-grandchildren: 

Brooks, Clark, Levi, Ayden, 

Ashton, Jessi, Jordyn, Cole, Morgan, 

Brooke, Evan, Aquay, Brian and 

Kashton. 

She is survived by her sister 

Darlene Hrabchuk and sister-in-law 

Betty Wroe as well as numerous other 

relatives and many dear friends. 

Mary was predeceased by parents 

Francis and Elsie Wroe; husband 

Richard Hubert; son-in-law Rudy 

Posma; great-grandchildren, Kaitlyn 

Gray and Presley Sutton; brother 

Dwayne Wroe; sister Jeanne 

Shymanski; sisters-in-law, Ellen 

Hubert and Dahrlyne Hubert; 

brothers-in-law, Albert Hrabchuk, 

Michael Shymanski, Herald Hubert 

and Wilf Hubert. 

The Wroe family moved to Big 

Valley, Alta. before Mary was in 

school, and that is where she spent 

most of her childhood and where she 

met her husband. 

They were married in 1956 and soon 

after they had us, Debora, Kim and 

Susan. 

She was a loving and devoted wife 

and mother who worked very hard for 

her family. 

“It has been a privilege to love and to 

be loved by this wonderful lady”. 

Mary helped in every season of their 

life together. 

She worked by his side, building and 

pouring cement as they always seemed 

to be doing. 

She loved camping with him, three 

little kids and a dog. 

She was supportive and travelled 

wherever his work took him from 

Quebec City to the Yukon. 

Mary was also a talented seamstress 

and had an amazing green thumb. 

Her yard would be filled with 

flowers and a well-kept garden every 

summer. 

She also grew many beautiful house 

plants. 

She made many long-lasting friendships 

over the years, a great testament 

to the caring, compassionate lady she 

was. 

Her friends were precious to her. 

Her home was always filled with 

family and friends who can all say 

without a doubt, our best memories 

were when we were all together at the 

lake. 

When the grandkids started 

arriving, life got busier as the house 

seemed always to have family coming 

or going. 

She was a loving grandmother who 

was always helping to look after kids 

and loved to host family holidays. 

She physically slowed down while 

waiting for a hip replacement, the pain 

increased, but her spirit never faded. 

In later years, Mary cared for her 

husband and their home until it 

became too much and they both ended 

up in care in Stettler. 

“We are all going to miss her stories 

OBITUARY 

and the laughter that came 

along with them. 

Our mother modelled for 

us many things; 

how to pray, love 

one another, manners, 

respect and 

the importance of 

thinking of others 

before ourselves. 

“These values 

have helped shape 

each one of us, 

maybe in different 

ways but they 

have made us who 

we are and we thank her 

very much for that.” 

Funeral services for the 

late Mary Hubert were held 

on Fri. July 19, 2019 at St. 

Peter Lutheran Church followed 

by interment beside 

her beloved husband 

Richard at Erskine 

Cemetery, Erskine, Alta. 

Donations in memory of 

Mary are gratefully accepted 

for St. Peter Lutheran 

Church or Erskine Cemetery 

c/o Stettler Funeral Home & 

Crematorium, P.O. Box 1780, 

Stettler, Alta. T0C 2L0, 

403-742-3422, who were 

entrusted with the care and 

arrangements. 

Card of Thanks 

The family of Mary Hubert 

would sincerely like to thank 

everyone who has been a 

caregiver to her over the last 

couple of years. 

We would also like to 

thank Pastor Jonathan 

Aiken along with Doug 

McKay and Scott and James 

Pfeiffer for the service and 

music. 

The time you made for us 

was very much appreciated. 

A big thank you to the 

Lutheran Church Ladies for 

the lovely luncheon. 

Our appreciation also goes 

out to staff at the Stettler 

Funeral Home and Panda 

Flowers for their thoughtfulness 

and attention to detail. 

We wish to express our 

gratitude for your many 

thoughts and prayers, visits, 

food and flowers over the 

past week. 

Debora, Kim and Susan 

Work to be redone 


“A lot of the things that 

were done compared to the 

contract and the design were 

not done correctly by the 

contract so we are laying a 

bit of a hammer down trying 

to get them to fix things 

when he gets back in. A lot of 

the work is going to have to 

be torn up and re-laid.” 

The next project will be 

the culvert replacement. 

A potential water leak 

directly east of 4th Street has 

been discovered as well but 

Green told the crowd that 

they will find more when the 

area is opened up for further 

investigation. 

Financial report 

CAO Cassidy made a 

detailed report surrounding 

the village’s finances up to 

June 30 since her and her 

team at the county have 

taken leadership of 

administration. 

The previous administration 

had certain money 

allocated in other places 

which aren’t necessarily 

negative, it has taken time to 

get the finances organized to 

fit in with the rest of the 

county’s operations. 

“We put this together and 

we are still working basically 

to clear up any 

abnormalities we found in 

the books. 

“We are trying to make 

sure things are posted in the 

right place and I’m not 

saying that anybody did 

anything wrong, I’m just 

saying everybody has got a 

different way of doing 

things,” said CAO Cassidy. 

Tax notices are expected 

to be sent out this week after 

certain issues have been 

straightened out. 

“We’ve been reconciling 

the tax accounts from last 

year to make sure that they 

balance, that penalties have 

been calculated correctly, 

that the payments have been 

posted the right way, if there 

was anything added to the 

tax roll, and we’ve had a 

little bit of trouble getting all 

of that straight,” she 

continued. 

Although the budget is 

showing a slight surplus, it 

was noted it was not the 

most accurate at this time. 

The budget is not expected 

to be approved until August 

at the next council meeting. 

The bulletin boards have 

been a solid way for both the 

county and residents to be in 

touch with upcoming news. 

Utility personnel check 

the mail slot at the office 

daily and there has been a 

noticeable increase in people 

visiting the county office in 

Stettler. 

MSI capital grant funding 

is given every year. 

A run-down property 

within the village is 

expected to be demolished 

thanks to this funding. 

CAO Cassidy told residents 

at the meeting that 

more bylaw enforcement is 

visiting the village for 

unsightly properties. 

Water and sewer line 

issues are also being 

addressed as quickly as 

possible. 

“If you have a problem or 

you have a question, just get 

a hold of us and we will try 

to get to you as quick as we 

can,” she said. 

Auditor appointed 

For the 2019 fiscal year, 

Chapman and Company 

Professional Accountants 

was appointed as Gadsby’s 

official accountants. 

“It just makes sense to use 

the same auditor because if 

there was a new auditor 

there would need to be 

reviews and procedures and 

those kinds of things,” said 

Johnsrude.

is the best way to find

FEATURE 

Alberta’s final execution revisited 

Terri Huxley 


What initially started as an 

intimate evening gathering at the 

Stettler Public Library quickly 

gained steam as the community 

showed a vast interest in the ‘sensational’ 

story leading to the final 

execution in Alberta 60 years 

later. 

Retired judge and defence 

lawyer Dave MacNaughton 

and Stettler Town Councillor 

Malcolm Fischer discussed 

the last official hanging in 

Alberta in front of a crowd of 

374 people on Tues. Jan. 29 in 

the Hub of the Stettler 

Recreation Centre (SRC). 

MacNaughton, the defence 

lawyer who represented 

Robert Raymond Cook in 

1959 and 1960, was convinced 

he blocked the horrific event 

out of his memory while 

Fischer provided his viewpoint 

and detailed story leading to 

the decision of the hanging. 

“It is such a sensational story,” 

began Fischer. 

With the storyline of a 

Hollywood film, a local vandal 

known to police for petty theft 

became the centre of a seven 

family member massacre within 

the sleepy town of Stettler, Alta. 

in 1959. 

Cook was born in Hanna, Alta. 

in 1937 and was the only son of his 

father’s first marriage. 

His mother passed away suddenly 

during a routine operation 

at the Hanna hospital. 

Fischer mentioned “It was 

common in Hanna to see a vehicle 

driving without a driver because 

he could hotwire the cars from 

the age of 10.” 

When Robert was 12 , his father 

married his school teacher, Daisy 

Mae Gaspar, thus the move to 

Stettler. 

From the age of 14 when his 

crime sprees started until the 

time of arrest at age 22, 94 per 

cent of that time was spent behind 

bars in various penitentiaries for 

stealing vehicles. 

Cook was in the Saskatchewan 

Penitentiary in Prince Albert 

serving a three year sentence 

when the Queen came to visit. 

Approximately 100 prisoners 

were released on the queen’s 

amnesty with Cook being one of 

them. 

Many described him as calm 

and incapable of what he was 

charged and executed for. 

“There was no violence in his 

record. He was a pleasant person 

[but] a constant liar,” described 

MacNaughton. 

“People thought he was the 

next Elvis Presley he was that 

good lookin’” said Fischer. 

Fast forward to the day after 

the murder, well before anyone 

knew of what had happened, 

Cook was spotted driving a 

flashy white 1959 Chevrolet 

impala convertible with red 

leather interior. 

For a town of 3,600 at the time 

the vehicle was hard to miss for 

Const. Allan Braeden. 

Cook was asked to go to the 

police station after Sergeant 

Thomas Roach received a call 

from a dealership in Edmonton 

stating they had incomplete 

paperwork filled out by a man 

named Raymond Cook. 

Cook told the sergeant that he 

provided his father $4,100 in cash 

to pay for the move to British 

Columbia to start a garage business. 

In return, his father gave 

him the family station wagon 

which he traded in Edmonton for 

the new convertible. 

After some questioning by the 

sergeant, Cook was charged with 

conducting business under false 

pretences and put under arrest 

until his story could be proved by 

family.

ECA Review/Submitted 

“The most problematic and significant 

character trait Cook 

displayed was his disregard for 

the truth and in many cases, the 

law,” said Fischer. 

Cook was often described as a 

compulsive liar which 

MacNaughton confirmed after 

his multiple encounters with the 

young man. 

He called MacNaughton who 

recently moved from 

Saskatchewan with his wife and 

children. 

Sgt. Roach and a couple of officers 

visited the Cook home a mere 

two blocks away from the station 

and found nothing unusual other 

than children’s running shoes left 

behind and bed covers removed. 

The next morning, after a 

phone call to staff sgt. David 

Beeching out of Red Deer, a team 

of investigators descended on the 

seemingly normal home and separate 

garage on 52 Street. 

Const. George Sproule was first 

to spot tiny dried blood stains on 

the television screen. 

The master bedroom was in 

disarray with many articles of 

clothing strewn over the bed.

Bashaw detachment cell block, 1959. The cell can still be 

found in the current Bashaw Fire Hall with information 

on the famous case.

An officer lifted some of the 

clothing to discover a large, damp 

blood stain in the centre then the 

bent double barrel of a shotgun. 

The butt end of the gun was 

missing. 

After lifting the mattress, 

another officer found some light 

blue trousers and a blue suit coat 

spotted with blood as well as a red 

necktie and a torn white shirt. 

With the burning question of 

where the bodies were, investigators 

moved to the garage. 

In it, large heavy pieces of cardboard 

lined the floor to avoid oil 

stains when working on vehicles. 

They slowly removed each 

piece from the ground which 

revealed the unmistakable stench 

of decaying bodies. 

The infamous grease pit was 

where the bodies of all seven 

family members were found 

including Raymond Cook, 

Daisy Cook and their children: 

Gerald, 9, Patrick, 8, 

Christopher, 6, Kathy, 4 and 

Linda, 3. 

Tires and rims were laid on 

top of the bodies in the five foot 

deep grease pit. 

Robert Cook was sent to the 

Ponoka Mental Institution for a 

physiatrics evaluation to determine 

if he was mentally fit to 

stand trial after breaking down 

during his charge reading. 

Breaking Free 

On Fri. July 10, between the 

hours of 11:30 p.m. and midnight, 

Cook escaped his maximum security 

cell of the hospital. 

Police were informed of the 

apparent escape and created 

roadblocks on Highway 2, 

Highway 53 east and Highway 12 

towards Stettler as Cook was 

known for stealing vehicles. 

Not too long after the daring 

escape, RCMP officers lining a 

strip of Highway 12 in Nevis came 

upon a vehicle. 

An officer attempted to 

approach it as it slowed down but 

the vehicle suddenly lurched into 

action, darting in between two 

cop cars. 

The car crashed after flying a 

fair distance in the air when it did 

not make a turn properly. 

Police were apprehensive as the 

person behind the wheel, most 

likely Cook, could be armed. 

They waited until morning 

light where the vehicle was found 

empty. 

Cook had disappeared. 

Four choppers were deployed 

over the area and 

roadblocks were 

strengthened. 

Word was sent 

that the Nevis 

Hall had been 

broken into on 

Saturday 

morning. Back in 

the day, these 

halls were supplied 

with dry 

goods. 

Clues led police 

to believe the 

felon was heading 

to Alix but the 

search was temporarily 

stopped 

due to darkness. 

Monday 

morning, a call 

came in claiming 

the Alix garage 

had been broken 

into overnight 

and a 1957 Monarch was stolen. 

Those in the community who 

remember Cook’s escape felt onedge 

as he could possibly return 

to conduct more crime. 

The radio and newspapers were 

constantly giving updates on possible 

whereabouts. 

Children were kept indoors. 

Homes and vehicles were left 

unlocked as to avoid any trouble. 

Stettler and area had become a 

shell of its former self. 

“Food was even left on the 

table,” chuckled MacNaughton. 

“Cook was out and hysteria 

would not be at all an exaggeration 

of what this town and a big 

chunk of Alberta turned into,” 

added Fischer. 

Every other person seemed to 

be a military or RCMP official as 

they flooded the small town. 

Finally a solid lead from 

Richard Schultz, a resident near 

Bashaw, closed in on Cook’s 

whereabouts. 

Two more sightings confirmed 

he was heading towards Bashaw. 

Norman Dufvah called RCMP 

to notify them a man matching 

Cook’s description was hiding 

behind his pig barn. 

Once they arrived, they called 

out for Cook saying ‘the jig is up’. 

He surfaced and was found to 

be completely exhausted after 

spending 84 hours on the run. 

“ 

From the age of 

14 when his crime 

sprees started until the 

time of arrest at age 22, 

94 per cent of that time 

was spent behind bars 

in various penitentiaries 

for stealing vehicles. 

“He had no weapons, no shirt, 

carrying two coats and was 

wearing women’s boots with a jug 

of water and a black floppy hat,” 

described Fischer. 

“He collapsed where they 

arrested him on the spot.” 

The runaway was taken to the 

Bashaw detachment’s cell which 

is still in place today in the 

existing fire hall. 

Courtroom proceedings 

Defence lawyer MacNaughton 

called in some big players 

including Giffard Main to help 

with the case as he was still quite 

fresh at the time. 

Cook was under cross-examination 

for three days. 

In the end, the jury did not take 

long to make a decision. 

Within 30 minutes they determined 

a guilty verdict and 

sentenced him to hang. 

MacNaughton noted in a followup 

interview with the ECA 

Review that most criminals on 

death row turn towards religion. 

Cook was no exception, creating 

a deep poem that outlined 

his innocence. 

The striking end of the poem 

has inspired the name for a play 

at the Bashaw Theatre named 

‘End of the Rope’ which was conducted 

in the early 2000s. 

“I’ve heard of justice, but where 

can it be. I looked in the dictionary, 

Behold! There it is to see. 

When I sent for my lawyer he just 

shook his head. Justice will only 

come long after you’re dead. So 

people of the world take note. It’s 

murder when the innocent die at 

the end of the rope.” 

At about two minutes after midnight 

on November 15, 1960, 

Robert Raymond Cook was 

hanged.

REAL ESTATE/HOMES 


Visual pollution became the forefront of discussion 


If the powerline were to run through 

the valley, it would “severely affect 

some of the programming that we do 

which then results in registration and 

retreats dropping off which means we 

don’t become viable and they say ‘OK, 

we are going to take the resources and 

all that.’ 

“They [Intervarsity] put their energy 

and their efforts into the other camps 

in Alberta.” 

Perry continued, “I mean that’s 41 

years of great things that are happening 

on that property and many of 

you have been there. Your kids have 

come through, the schools, and that’s 

really important to us. We feel this is 

our community. We want to be apart of 

this community.” 

Perry requested council advocate on 

their behalf to keep Circle Square’s 

unique value and to keep helping children 

develop into the best version of 

themselves. 

“Do you feel that enrollment would 

really drop though because of a power 

line?” asked Reeve Stan Schulmeister. 

Perry replied, “In regards to the 

wind turbines that are off we have distinctly 

lost five specific groups that 

have made comments to me. 

“I asked, ‘Was it the service? Was it 

the food? What was it?’ and they would 

say ‘Really, to be honest, we are 

looking for a landscape where we are 

not looking out and seeing blinking red 

lights at night’.” 

Reeve Schulmeister asked if they 

had participated in the Alberta 

Electric System Operators (AESO) and 

ATCO discussions which they replied, 

they had done. 

“I think at this point we are far from 

knowing if the project will go or where 

it will go because they are now 

thinking there may be other alternatives. 

They want to impact as few 

people as possible,” said Schulmeister. 

“We just want the opportunity to 

speak to you but we did speak to three 

different gentlemen and had a really 

good conversation with them and stuff 

but I think I’m just trying to paint a 

picture for you guys,” said Perry. 

“It’s not that I’m trying to be a rebel 

rouser. I’m just trying to say this is the 

impact that it does have,” said Perry. 

“And we know that if that goes 

ahead, there will be more windmills in 

the county and that is a significant 

impact,” said Doan. 

Visual pollution became the forefront 

of discussion. 

“When you are out there, can you 

see the power plant [towers] from your 

site?” asked Coun. Maurice Wiart. 

“You mean to the north? Not really. 

You can see the smokestack,” said 

Doan. 

“That wasn’t a determinant to going 

there and people weren’t worried about 

pollution?” asked Coun. Wiart. 

“No, that stack is probably how 

many miles away,” said Doan. 

“But I mean with prevailing winds 

the smoke on a clear winter day you 

can see it coming right down that 

valley,” described Wiart. 

“Yes and no but if you look at it, a lot 

of it is a condensation of the hot air 

going into the atmosphere,” said Doan. 

“Personally, I just think that windmills 

10 miles away is probably less 

detrimental than –” said Coun. Wiart. 

“Yes I would agree but they are not 

10 miles away from us. They are only 

half a mile away,” said Doan. 

“We recognize that there will be 

development but I guess we are asking 

that we have consideration to choose to 

go a little further to the east or south. I 

know that affects other people but we 

are not here just on behalf of ourselves,” 

said Doan. 

Council is waiting on more information 

and/or a decision from ATCO at 

this time. 

“I don’t think there is a whole bunch 

at this point that we can do. I think 

that it’s good that 

you have expressed 

your opinions to 

them. Hopefully, 

they take everything 

into 

consideration,” 

said Schulmeister. 

“All we are 

asking is that if you 

have the opportunity 

to deal with 

this whole issue is 

that you would 

remember that it does affect not just a 

few but it affects quite a few,” said 

Doan.
