Kneehill County caps 75th birthday with party<br />
Terri Huxley and David Nadeau<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
Three-quarters of a Century of history<br />
in farming, family and<br />
community spirit was celebrated last<br />
Fri. Sept. 13.<br />
Approximately over 150 people from<br />
across the county came to witness<br />
Kneehill County’s 75th anniversary at<br />
the Three Hills Curling Rink.<br />
Thirty-seven individual maps from<br />
different time stamps were<br />
on display along the walls<br />
while resident images were<br />
framed as part of the top<br />
entries for a photo contest.<br />
Tables from different communities<br />
such as the Three<br />
Hills Museum and Carbon<br />
Museum also featured local<br />
history with the use of<br />
photos and various tools<br />
used back in the day.<br />
The photo contest winners,<br />
selected by administrators<br />
from 167 submissions, will<br />
see their work illustrate the<br />
county’s 2020 calendar.<br />
In addition to extensive<br />
historical displays, the<br />
county used the event to<br />
unveil its new logo, as determined<br />
by a ratepayer-only<br />
vote.<br />
Compared to its previous design, the<br />
thin black border along the county’s<br />
borders was removed and a blue to<br />
yellow gradient was added to enhance<br />
the modern take on the classic look.<br />
“It represents the actual physical<br />
look of the county,” said Kneehill<br />
County Reeve Jerry Wittstock. “The<br />
other one was kind of scrunched in<br />
there. This one is a little closer to what<br />
the county actually looks like. I like the<br />
colours, I like the blue sky and green in<br />
it for the grass and crops. That’s what<br />
the people liked also. I’m happy that<br />
that is the one that was chosen.”<br />
This logo will slowly be phased out<br />
starting with new signage that will<br />
replace the old ones that sit on the side<br />
of the main roadways into the county.<br />
A hot lunch was provided as well as<br />
cute cupcakes featuring the new<br />
county logo.<br />
Reeve Wittstock found the event to be<br />
a resounding success.<br />
“I thought the program went very<br />
well and just the people that showed up<br />
that had conversations with council<br />
and staff. I think it was a great way to<br />
highlight what the county does for our<br />
residents. It was just a great<br />
celebration.”<br />
He added, “It was nice to see the participation<br />
in the photo contest and it<br />
was nice to see the amount of voting<br />
that was done on the new logo. It was<br />
nice to just have everyone engaged.”<br />
The anniversary held a high standard<br />
to showcase their<br />
accomplishments.<br />
“It’s our 75th anniversary. You highlight<br />
your achievements and we’ve<br />
come a long way in 75 years from operating<br />
a $10,000 grader with lights and a<br />
cab to what we have now,” said Reeve<br />
Wittstock.<br />
“I’m proud of the residents, I’m<br />
proud of the accomplishments of our<br />
county. We are a very prosperous community<br />
in Alberta. We are very<br />
innovative, very forward thinking and<br />
it obviously shows,” he said.<br />
Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister<br />
Kaycee Madu and Olds-Didsbury-<br />
Three Hills MLA Nathan Cooper, as<br />
well as Reeve Wittstock, gave some<br />
empowering speeches to the interested<br />
crowd.<br />
“I thought it went very smoothly. It<br />
was great to see representation from<br />
the provincial government there which<br />
is something we were sort of lacking in<br />
the last little bit,” said Reeve Wittstock.<br />
In his comments, Minister Madu<br />
said Kneehill County, like many<br />
Over 150 people came to celebrate the three-quarter century<br />
milestone for Kneehill County on Fri. Sept. 13 at the Three Hills<br />
Curling Rink. The public was invited to take a step back in time<br />
with different maps and museum items to discover. Cupcakes<br />
featuring the new logo were a staple to finishing off a hearty<br />
lunch buffet meal.<br />

Alberta communities, has seen tough<br />
times but has always persevered.<br />
“You have shown the spirit and<br />
strength it takes to be an Albertan,” he<br />
said.<br />
MLA Cooper said he was proud to<br />
represent this area in the legislature<br />
and that it is important to pass on the<br />
virtues of hard work and dedication to<br />
the next generation.<br />
Other guests included representatives<br />
from neighbouring towns and<br />
villages, former county staff and councillors,<br />
and rural community hall<br />
representatives.<br />
Commemorative historic images<br />
were gifted to each rural school hall<br />
including Orkney, Ghostpine, Hesketh,<br />
Three Hills, Huxley, Swalwell,<br />
Wimborne and Torrington.<br />

History<br />
The municipal District of Kneehill<br />
#278 first became a reality on Jan. 1,<br />
<strong>19</strong>44 when the provincial government<br />
ordered a dissolution of four smaller<br />
districts, combining them into one<br />
larger unit.<br />
These four areas were: MD of<br />
Carbon, established <strong>19</strong>12;<br />
MD of Norquay (in Acme),<br />
established <strong>19</strong>18; MD of<br />
Ghost Pine (in Trochu),<br />
established <strong>19</strong>12; MD of<br />
Stauffer, established <strong>19</strong>18.<br />
The following year in <strong>19</strong>45,<br />
the district was renumbered<br />
#48.<br />
Over the years, significant<br />
projects have highlighted<br />
milestone anniversaries.<br />
In <strong>19</strong>94, over 700 Township<br />
and Range Roads were<br />
erected on all county roads<br />
to recognize the 50th<br />
anniversary.<br />
In 2004, signs were<br />
installed on major entrances<br />
into the municipality to commemorate<br />
the 60th<br />
anniversary.<br />
For the 70th, council<br />
announced the new administration<br />
building and finally for the 75th, the<br />
unveiling of the county logo and<br />
replacement of the 60th anniversary<br />
signs as announced.<br />
As for interesting facts, the county<br />
was the first in Canada and one of the<br />
first in North America to adopt hail<br />
suppression measures because this<br />
area is located in one of the worst hail<br />
areas in the world.<br />
In <strong>19</strong>04, a quarter of land taxes was<br />
approximately $8.<br />
Prior to World War I, it only cost $10<br />
to buy 160 acres of land.<br />
The county used to pay $85 for<br />
funeral services.<br />
Throughout time, 63 schools were<br />
located within Kneehill.<br />

COUNTY OF STETTLER COUNCIL<br />
Erskine crosswalk requested<br />
Terri Huxley<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
An Erskine resident has<br />
requested a pedestrian crosswalk<br />
be placed at Highway 835<br />
and Alberta Avenue within the<br />
hamlet’s limits.<br />
Their nine-year-old daughter<br />
uses this area on a daily basis to<br />
get to school either by bus or<br />
walking.<br />
She must cross this roadway<br />
to get home from school as the<br />
bus only drops off one way at<br />
the far north end of the street or<br />
only on the other side of the<br />
road.<br />
Clearview buses will not give<br />
her a ride home as the home<br />
they live in is on the wrong side<br />
of the highway.<br />
“Every year I sit on my deck<br />
watching cars go by at 60 to 70<br />
km per hour in a 50 kilometre<br />
per hour zone. One of these days<br />
something not nice is going to<br />
happen. Help me prevent this.”<br />
“If cars don’t stop for buses<br />
with stop signs why would they<br />
stop for a nine year old little girl<br />
trying to cross a highway?”<br />
Coun. Cheri Nietz concurred<br />
that speeding is a common<br />
occurrence along that specific<br />
roadway.<br />
The county’s bylaw officer did<br />
not recommend a crossing at<br />
the requested location due to its<br />
proximity to Highway 12, a busy<br />
stretch.<br />
County administration has<br />
made a call to Alberta<br />
Transportation on this issue to<br />
get their input and expects a<br />
response sometime this week.<br />
IDP/ICF<br />
time delay request<br />
The County of Stettler has<br />
chosen to send out a letter to<br />
neighbouring municipalities to<br />
garner support for a request to<br />
delay Intermunicipal<br />
Development Plans (IDP) &<br />
Intermunicipal Collaboration<br />
Frameworks (ICF) due to the<br />
uncertainty of the county’s<br />
future revenue streams and<br />
currently strained resources.<br />
All municipalities are<br />
required to follow this as per<br />
the Modernized Municipal<br />
Government Act (MGA) by creating<br />
ICF and IDP with the<br />
municipalities which they share<br />
common boundaries.<br />
The recent announcement of<br />
plans to provide property tax<br />
relief to shallow gas producers,<br />
the review of the current assessment<br />
model, and the ensuing<br />
uncertainty surrounding the<br />
future of municipal revenue<br />
streams has precipitated questioning<br />
the timing of<br />
requirements to fulfill the obligation<br />
of completing<br />
Intermunicipal Development<br />
Plans and Intermunicipal<br />
Collaboration Frameworks with<br />
their regional, geographical<br />
neighbors.<br />
“It’s like sending us to a knife<br />
fight with a spoon,” said Chief<br />
Administrative Officer (CAO)<br />
Yvette Cassidy.<br />
“We have been in consultation<br />
with our local MLA, Nate<br />
Horner regarding the hurdles<br />
we are facing. Completing negotiations<br />
and committing to<br />
service models through IDPs<br />
and ICFs is putting the future of<br />
our own municipalities at great<br />
financial risk, not knowing<br />
what the future holds in terms<br />
of municipal revenues.”<br />
MLA Nate Horner was in<br />
attendance to witness the conversation,<br />
hearing loud and<br />
clear the issues the county is<br />
facing.<br />
He offered support and advocacy<br />
at the provincial level<br />
specifically on this issue among<br />
other concerns brought to the<br />
table for discussion.<br />
Emergency<br />
management protocol<br />
Lee Hardman, Director of<br />
Protective Services &<br />
Emergency Management,<br />
brought council to the attention<br />
of the county’s current emergency<br />
management plan and<br />
how it is in dire need of<br />
updating.<br />
The county received a<br />
$5,000 grant from the<br />
Alberta Emergency<br />
Management Agency to<br />
assist with the utilization of<br />
a consultant.<br />

Alberta’s 23rd<br />
tornado touches<br />
down near Carbon<br />
Terri Huxley<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
It was confirmed Tuesday, Sept. 10<br />
that a landspout tornado had touched<br />
down south of the Village of Carbon.<br />
Environment Canada issued a small<br />
release following the announcement<br />
saying that “An area of showers has<br />
been affecting portions of Southern<br />
Alberta over the past couple of days<br />
and on Tues. Sept. 10 produced the<br />
23rd tornado of <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong> in the province.”<br />
The tornado touched down at<br />
approximately 2:15 p.m. eight kilometres<br />
south of Carbon and only lasted<br />
for a couple of minutes.<br />
“It was very short lived,” said Kyle<br />
Fougère, Warning Preparedness<br />
Meteorologist with the Government of<br />
Canada’s Environment and Climate<br />
Change Canada (ECCC) division.<br />
“The people that witnessed it<br />
watched it cross the road and dissipate,”<br />
said Fougère.<br />
No damage was reported as landspout<br />
tornadoes are known to be<br />
mostly harmless compared to the<br />
supercell tornadoes humans normally<br />
associate with.<br />

preliminary rating of EF0 on the<br />
Enhanced Fujita scales as implemented<br />
by Environment Canada.<br />
This means it is the lowest on the<br />
scale and is the weakest type of<br />
tornado.<br />
“They can form with any type of<br />
thunderstorms or really any type of<br />
developing storms in Alberta,” said<br />
Fougère. “They form when you have a<br />
wind shift at the surface and you have<br />
basically air that is already spinning<br />
and you have storms develop on top of<br />
it that stretches the rotation so it’s not<br />
the same as the very strong supercell<br />
tornadoes that are particularly more<br />
associated with doing a lot of damage.”<br />
Winds were recorded between 90<br />
and 130 kilometers per hour.<br />
“A landspout tornado is very rare to<br />
do a significant amount of damage. It<br />
can be very weak and short lived,” he<br />
said.<br />
Meteorologists continue to investigate<br />
this tornado.<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
Unknown individual(s) broke into<br />
the Alix Post office, collecting various<br />
pieces of mail on the evening of Tues,<br />
Sept. 10.<br />
A Canada Post employee alerted the<br />
RCMP when they discovered the disturbances<br />
in the building.<br />
They attended the scene and conducted<br />
an examination, collecting<br />
some evidence in the process.<br />
“At this point we do not have any<br />
suspects, we are continuing the investigation<br />
utilizing the CCTV systems in<br />
the area,” said Bashaw Staff Sgt.<br />
Bruce Holliday<br />
The post office and RCMP are<br />
working together to determine who’s<br />
mail has been taken.<br />
RCMP have also notified other post<br />
offices within the jurisdiction of the<br />
break in so they are extra vigilant.<br />
Lougheed suspicious activity<br />
Submitted<br />
The owners of Smith’s Equipment<br />
Sales in Lougheed, Alta. were alerted<br />
to suspicious activity on their lot at<br />
approximately 3:30 a.m. on Mon. Sept.<br />
16.<br />
A royal blue four-door ford truck<br />
with a small cargo trailer was<br />
observed pulling up to the front door<br />
of the business close to the BadBoy<br />
lawnmowers.<br />
The vehicle then went and parked<br />
on the side of the building and turned<br />
off the headlights. By that time, the<br />
owners responded and the vehicle<br />
sped off south on range road 114.<br />
The vehicle was spotted about a mile<br />
down that road, scoping out other<br />
yards and fled again when they knew<br />
they were spotted.<br />
The owners would like to point out<br />
that this appears to be a repeat visitor,<br />
as the truck was also the subject of a 3<br />
a.m. visit in July.<br />
It is a unique colour blue for a Ford<br />

Valley Ski Hill<br />
nominated to Kraft<br />
Heinz Project Play<br />
Terri Huxley<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
The Valley Ski Hill has been nominated<br />
to be a contender in the $250,000<br />
Kraft Heinz Project Play.<br />
This program goes towards recreational<br />
facility upgrades with three<br />
second place winners each receiving<br />
$25,000 for their project.<br />
For the ski hill located north of<br />
Alliance, the physical hillside is<br />
sliding.<br />
Over the years the soil on the hill<br />
has become saturated by the runoff in<br />
the spring, causing the hill to slide.<br />
Every fall, heavy equipment has to<br />
be brought in to push the soil back into<br />
place before snow making can begin.<br />
Through countless volunteer hours<br />
and donated equipment, the hill gets<br />
up and running each season.<br />
However, the club is dangerously<br />
close to losing one of the T-bar towers<br />
to this slide, and if that happens, the<br />
hill will most likely close.<br />
An engineered plan has been drawn<br />
up to fix the hill and all that is needed<br />
is the funds to go ahead with it.<br />
The family of the late Karen Barker express<br />
their appreciation for all of the phone calls,<br />
texts, visits, and expressions of sympathy during<br />
our recent loss. Your kindness and support for<br />
Karen and our family has been overwhelming.<br />
A special thank you to the<br />
Thank<br />
You<br />
Many have already voiced their concerns<br />
and appreciation for the regional<br />
facility including Valley Ski Hill Board<br />
of directors member Carol MacRea<br />
who nominated the ski hill to the<br />
program.<br />
She sees this program as a “community<br />
builder.”<br />
“If we lose that tower we are<br />
hooped,” said MacRea.<br />
The rules of the program are simple:<br />
for this round the public is asked to<br />
submit photos worth three points,<br />
sharing their post on twitter for five<br />
points and/or submitted stories worth<br />
10 points with an external judging<br />
component as well.<br />
The more points accumulated, the<br />
better the odds of placing in the top<br />
four entries.<br />
The deadline is fast approaching<br />
with only three days left as of Thurs.<br />
Sept. <strong>19</strong> so submissions are more<br />
important than ever.<br />

submitted their stories and images on<br />

It’s hard to<br />
be humble<br />
OPINION<br />
The opinions expressed are not necessarily<br />
the opinions of this newspaper.<br />
Brenda Schimke<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
The first clause of Section 15 of the<br />
Canadian Constitution states, “Every<br />
individual is equal before and under<br />
the law and has the right to equal protection<br />
and equal benefit of the law<br />
without discrimination.”<br />
The only reason this statement is<br />
enshrined in law is because we don’t<br />
believe it’s true.<br />
With the help of Janice MacKinnon<br />
and her blue-ribbon panel, the Kenney<br />
government has cleverly set a trap to<br />
use unions and professional associations<br />
to distract the public from their<br />
real agenda.<br />
“<br />
Jealousy and<br />
hatred are two<br />
powerful emotions that<br />
enable unscrupulous<br />
political leaders to<br />
employ bullying and<br />
fear to get elected and<br />
sustain power.<br />
Unemployed white-collar workers in<br />
Calgary and blue-collar oil-related<br />
workers throughout the province are<br />
angry because they believe the upper<br />
elite socialist civil servants (doctors,<br />
nurses and teachers) were protected<br />
during the recession while they disproportionately<br />
bore the financial<br />
pain.<br />
Conveniently forgetting that our<br />
nurses, doctors and teachers are the<br />
best paid in Canada because the oil<br />
industry pushed up Alberta’s average<br />
wage rates to levels not seen in other<br />
provinces.<br />
Previous conservative governments<br />
had no choice but to increase the<br />
wages of these professionals in order<br />
to recruit and retain them during a<br />
time of extreme wage and population<br />
growth.<br />
Jealousy and hatred are two powerful<br />
emotions that enable<br />
unscrupulous political leaders to<br />
employ bullying and fear to get elected<br />
and sustain power.<br />
Jealous and angry people will accept<br />
the pain of labour unrest in our hospitals<br />
and schools because ‘we’re<br />
sticking it to the socialist elites’.<br />
How often do we say out loud or in<br />
our heads, “I work hard whereas civil<br />
servants are lazy, over-compensated,<br />
take too much sick time and receive a<br />
cushy pension.” Or “I deserve more<br />
because I’ve made better choices or I<br />
was born into a hard-working family<br />
and we’ve contributed so much more<br />
than them.”<br />
We have a foreshadow of what 2020<br />
will look like in Alberta because we’ve<br />
done the slash and burn of civil servants,<br />
public institutions and<br />
infrastructure before in the <strong>19</strong>70s.<br />
We still live with the consequences<br />
of those cuts 40 years later with a<br />
shortage of hospital beds and medical<br />
specialists in all cities, including Red<br />
Deer, excessively long bus rides for<br />
rural students, overcrowded classrooms<br />
in larger centers and high<br />
municipal debt.<br />
It’s not in human nature to be<br />
humble.<br />
Yet it’s very easy to exalt oneself by<br />
putting down others.<br />
Too many, who have never worked<br />
in a civil servant position and are<br />
egged on by populist governments<br />
and right-wing think tanks, exalt<br />
themselves by putting down and<br />
degrading those who work in jobs<br />
serving the people.<br />
Religious texts of all faiths address<br />
arrogance in the human heart and<br />
warn against the evils of vengeance.<br />
These texts also encourage believers<br />
not to take advantage of the weak and<br />
poor, love their enemies and not put<br />
themselves in the higher place. But,<br />
alas, it’s tempting and often easy to set<br />
aside general consideration and kindness<br />
towards others when our hearts<br />
and minds have been primed with<br />
envy and hatred.<br />
Kenney is taking away the bargaining<br />
rights of professional<br />
associations and unions by using the<br />
courts and because he has an ace in<br />
the hole—the notwithstanding clause<br />
that supersedes the first clause of<br />
Section 15 of the Constitution—he and<br />
his oil patch cronies will win. But at<br />
what cost to civil society?<br />

GUEST EDITORIAL<br />
Donor-supported CBC<br />
worth pursuing<br />
by Brian Giesbrecht, Senior Fellow<br />
Frontier Center for Public Policy<br />
CBC Radio was once a national<br />
treasure.<br />
From Peter Gzowski through Arthur<br />
Black, Shelagh Rogers and Danny<br />
Finkleman, a turn of the knob<br />
rewarded the listener with information,<br />
entertainment and humour.<br />
But now, a push of the button is more<br />
likely to bring on someone eager to talk<br />
about their sexuality, ethnic origin or<br />
skin colour.<br />
The truth is I’m perfectly happy to let<br />
people do whatever they want sexually.<br />
Pierre Elliot Trudeau said in <strong>19</strong>68<br />
that the state has no place in the bedrooms<br />
of the nation.<br />
I believed him then and I believe him<br />
now.<br />
Consenting adults can do what they<br />
want – I just don’t need to know about it<br />
on the CBC.<br />
And, as for racial or ethnic matters,<br />
Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson<br />
Mandela have me absolutely convinced<br />
that skin colour and ethnicity are irrelevant,<br />
so I simply don’t care if you look<br />
different than me.<br />
I’m no more interested in your culture,<br />
ethnicity or sex life than you’re<br />
interested in mine.<br />
Today, too many shows on CBC featuring<br />
some troubled soul rattling on<br />
about their sexuality and culture bring<br />
my groans; one show on the topic is<br />
more than enough.<br />
But CBC seems to think that listeners<br />
have an insatiable appetite for<br />
angst-filled special-interest commentary,<br />
that relentlessly banging the<br />
drum about diversity, reconciliation or<br />
the world-threatening “climate emergency”<br />
every time there’s a natural<br />
weather event.<br />
CBC has become tediously missionary<br />
rather than journalistic on<br />
these issues.<br />
The larger issue is whether CBC<br />
should exist in its present form at all.<br />
Not only does the broadcaster<br />
duplicate services that the private<br />
sector provides, but its biased<br />
reporting, in cases such as the Gerald<br />
Stanley trial, is appalling.<br />
Yet taxpayers are obliged to pay<br />
CBC’s substantial and rising costs.<br />
The last thing Canada’s beleaguered<br />
mainstream media needs is competition<br />
from government-subsidized<br />
journalism.<br />
Getting rid of this hopelessly politicized<br />
duplication should be the first<br />
order of business for a new federal<br />
government.<br />
Americans have shown us a useful<br />
alternative to a taxpayer funded CBC.<br />
National Public Radio (NPR) offers<br />
an excellent service and it only costs<br />
taxpayers a few cents each.<br />
NPR relies mainly on voluntary<br />
donors and has been operating successfully<br />
for almost 50 years.<br />
The beauty of the American system<br />
is that if their program directors<br />
insisted on boring listeners to tears<br />
with identity politics drivel (like CBC<br />
does), donations would dry up.<br />
Their programmers have to be<br />
responsive to listeners’ wants.<br />
Surely CBC’s uber-progressive executives<br />
and programmers don’t.<br />
Almost all modern information services<br />
– podcasts, YouTube and the like<br />
– use this model: fully listener and<br />
advertiser funded.<br />
For CBC, the government chooses to<br />
continue a funding model that might<br />
have made some sense in <strong>19</strong>36, when it<br />
was created, but certainly doesn’t in<br />
today’s Internet world of bountiful,<br />
instantly-accessible information.<br />
Clearly, CBC doesn’t want to change<br />
its continuing programming choices –<br />
identity and climate politics, seemingly<br />
leaning ever more left.<br />
Despite collapsing audiences, as long<br />
as CBC can facilitate the present federal<br />
government’s agenda, it obviously<br />
is betting on a continuing payday.<br />
It’s time to consider a more balanced<br />
and less expensive alternative.<br />

Immigration a boon to Canadian tennis<br />
Canadian politicians may<br />

shortcomings of immigration<br />
during the upcoming<br />
federal election, but<br />
Canadian<br />
tennis fans<br />
are giving a<br />
solid thumbsup<br />
to the idea<br />
of welcoming<br />
people from<br />
other<br />
countries.<br />

Proving it was no<br />

up with a victory at the<br />

8 S eptember <strong>19</strong>'<strong>19</strong> HANNA/COr ONAt ION/StettL er, Ab . e CA reVIe W<br />
Jaala Hill enjoyed Japan visit<br />
Eileen Morrill<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
A smiling Jaala Hill kept<br />
the promise she made to the<br />
Hanna Council in July and<br />
returned to the council<br />
chambers for the Sept. 10<br />
meeting to present a show of<br />
photos from her visit to<br />
Wake, Japan as part of the<br />
Hanna/Wake Student<br />
Exchange Program.<br />
Hill said that during her<br />
visit to Japan, she was honoured<br />
to meet the mayor of<br />
Wake.<br />
Hill also visited several<br />
temples and was hosted by<br />
an elementary school where<br />
she watched the students<br />
ride unicycles.<br />
She visited Tokyo<br />
Disneyland, walked on a<br />
hanging bridge, and had several<br />
visits to a “really big”<br />
mall.<br />
The exchange student was<br />
hosted by five different families<br />
during her twenty-day<br />
stay in Japan.<br />
Hill and a 16-year-old girl<br />
from one of the host families<br />
ventured together by train<br />
to Yokohama, Japan.<br />
Food was not a problem<br />
for her as the folks in Wake<br />
prepared food she liked and<br />
on one occasion Hill cooked<br />
a Canadian meal for her<br />
host family.<br />
Hill did learn a little of the<br />
language and can greet<br />
another with “Hi” in the<br />
Japanese tongue.<br />
In response to a question<br />
from Coun. Sandra<br />
Beaudoin, Hill acknowledged<br />
that this was her first<br />
trip away without her family<br />
and although she had fun<br />
and time seemed to fly, she<br />
missed her family.<br />
As the exchange visit<br />
came to a close, she said that<br />
she was ready to come home.<br />
Jada Hill, Hill’s mother,<br />
said that with modern technology<br />
she and her daughter<br />
were able to keep in touch<br />
throughout her visit which<br />
helped make this a really<br />
good experience for her<br />
daughter.<br />
Jada said because of the<br />
new experiences her children<br />
gained through her<br />
family being a host family,<br />
she would “do it again in a<br />
heartbeat.’’<br />
Hill said she would love to<br />
visit Japan again and noted<br />
that although the airport in<br />
Japan was huge, she had no<br />
trouble navigating it and<br />
also had no problems during<br />
her 11-hour flight.<br />
Hill was encouraged by<br />
Council to make this same<br />
presentation to her<br />
schoolmates.<br />
Coun. Beaudoin noted that<br />
she had seen Hill grow in<br />
confidence through her<br />
hosting and travels.<br />
Mayor Warwick thanked<br />
Hill for being a very good<br />
ambassador to Hanna’s<br />
twinned town, Wake, Japan.<br />
Grant Notifications<br />
CAO Neill reported that<br />
the Hanna Learning Centre<br />
has received notice of<br />
approval of their application<br />
for $673,000 of Federal<br />
funding through the<br />
Western Economic<br />
Diversification to offset the<br />
costs of operating the Hanna<br />
HANNA COUNCIL<br />
Business Hub Facility.<br />
Also, Neill reported the Town<br />
will receive the following<br />
interim amounts: Municipal<br />
Sustainability Initiative (MSI)<br />
Capital funding of $397,437; MSI<br />
Operating funding of $140,261;<br />
and Federal Gas Tax funding of<br />
$289,168.<br />
The provincial MSI funding is<br />
approximately $250,000 less<br />
than the budget anticipated<br />
while Federal Gas Tax funding<br />
is double the amount<br />
anticipated.<br />
A percentage of Hanna<br />
Policing Costs may be assigned<br />
to Hanna Ratepayers<br />
CAO Neill reported that the<br />
Province of Alberta Ministry of<br />
Justice and Solicitor General,<br />
are reviewing Provincial Police<br />
Costing Models.<br />
Neill said presently towns<br />
like Hanna with a population<br />
under 5,000, Metis Settlements<br />
and all municipal districts/<br />
counties regardless of population<br />
do not pay for policing as it<br />
is covered by the Province of<br />
Alberta.<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB S E p TEm BER <strong>19</strong>'<strong>19</strong> 9<br />
Hanna Pro Rodeo Queen<br />
reflects on past year<br />
Terri Huxley<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
A year in the life of a rodeo queen<br />
isn’t always the glitz and glam many<br />
associate it with.<br />
It’s early mornings, late nights, and<br />
busy hours in-between representing<br />
the best version of yourself and your<br />
rodeo.<br />
For Alli Sauer of Acadia Valley, this<br />
year was condensed to six months as<br />
the other six were spent overseas in<br />
Ireland studying.<br />
During this summer, Sauer has<br />
been racking up miles across the province<br />
to be an advocate for the sport of<br />
rodeo<br />
“I always grew up being involved<br />
with it, not necessarily on a pro-level<br />
but within the industry all over the<br />
place so just to become the face of that<br />
and to bridge the gap between contestants<br />
and spectators was something I<br />
was really passionate about,” said<br />
Sauer.<br />
Growth has been a key to this position<br />
as well.<br />
“I’ve grown in confidence from<br />
when I started the competition but I<br />
would say I still have the same amount<br />
of drive and passion I had when I was<br />
in the pageant,” said Sauer.<br />
This ambassadorship is what drew<br />
her in initially, but the vast connections<br />
she has made has been an added<br />
bonus.<br />
There were numerous highlights<br />
throughout the year but one really<br />
stood out to the local rodeo queen.<br />
“Walking across the big stage at<br />
Calgary Stampede is one of the best<br />
things you will ever do as a rodeo<br />
queen and the amount of people that I<br />
have met through networking – I’ve<br />
created this home in the rodeo<br />
industry so that’s a pretty neat thing,”<br />
she said.<br />
For a day in the life of a rodeo queen,<br />
Sauer begins her day by getting ready<br />
which takes roughly an hour to an<br />
hour and a half. Then the time is spent<br />
driving to the event where it usually<br />
begins with a parade followed by a<br />
pancake breakfast.<br />
“It’s just a lot of socializing and<br />
meeting with people and living up to<br />
the expectations of what your committee<br />
expects and hopes you to be at<br />
these events. Most of the time it is just<br />
[about] being yourself, creating this<br />
happy persona but still remaining<br />
true to what you believe in,” she said.<br />
Sauer is sad her reign is almost<br />
complete but as she eloquently put<br />
“All good things must come to an<br />
end.”<br />
Once everything is all said and<br />
done, Sauer is continuing her education<br />
at the University of<br />
Saskatchewan, graduating with an<br />
Agribusiness degree with a minor in<br />
field crop production.<br />
Not enough contestants were able to<br />
put on a competition for this year but<br />
Sauer will still be passing down the<br />
crown at the end of the weekend.<br />
The Hanna Pro Rodeo is taking<br />
place the last weekend in September.<br />
Welcome Everybody<br />
to this year’s Rodeo<br />
and Good Luck!<br />

The 103rd annual<br />
Hand Hills Lake<br />
Stampede held at<br />
the Hand Hills Lake<br />
rodeo grounds was<br />
packed Saturday,<br />
June 1, <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>.<br />
Amongst the crowd<br />
was Alli Sauer of<br />
Acadia Valley who<br />
was crowned Hanna<br />
pro Rodeo Queen<br />
in Sept. 2018. The<br />
Hand Hills Lake<br />
Stampede is Hanna<br />

rodeo’ when it<br />
comes to proximity<br />

Student volunteers recognized for commitment<br />
Cont’d from Pg 8<br />
The new Police Costing<br />
Model developed by the<br />
Ministry of Justice and<br />
Solicitor General anticipates<br />
that all municipalities<br />
will contribute directly to<br />
the cost of front line<br />
policing.<br />
Neill said, “The model<br />
released by the ministry if<br />
implemented may mean a<br />
cost to the Town of Hanna<br />
taxpayers in the amount<br />
$55,000 annually which is<br />
equivalent to a 2% tax<br />
increase.”<br />
Neill posed the question<br />
that if the province implements<br />
the policy where<br />
towns like Hanna pay a percentage<br />
for policing.<br />
“Will Hanna have more<br />
input into services received?<br />
Will there be more service?”<br />
Neill concluded, “There<br />
are a lot of questions.”<br />
Climate Change Task<br />
Force Update<br />
Chief Administration<br />
Officer (CAO) Kim Neill<br />
reported that the Climate<br />
Change Task Force held<br />
their final regular meeting<br />
on Aug. 20.<br />
At that meeting, the Task<br />
Force recommended that<br />
Cactus Corridor become the<br />
stewards of the $80,000<br />
remaining in Coal<br />
Transition Funding and<br />
take over the responsibility<br />
of managing the<br />
Community Action Teams<br />
to the end of <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong>.<br />
Neill stated, “The core<br />
Task Force members will<br />
continue to work and<br />
manage renewable energy<br />
projects as well as be available<br />
to meet and be involved<br />
with any outside business<br />
opportunity that may<br />
present itself.”<br />
Neill also noted that Doug<br />
Griffiths from 13Ways was<br />
in Hanna Sept. 5 where he<br />
met with Council to review<br />
the draft tactical plan.<br />
13Ways also met with the<br />
Cactus Corridor Economic<br />
Development Corporation<br />
Board of Directors to review<br />
the progress on their<br />
Strategic Plan.<br />
Meter reading<br />
equipment<br />
becoming obsolete<br />
Brent Olesen advised that<br />
the water meter reading<br />
equipment Hanna presently<br />
uses is becoming obsolete,<br />
so Hanna Public Works and<br />
Hanna Administration are<br />
in discussion with providers<br />
about a mobile collector<br />
system or an antenna<br />
system.<br />
Olesen said that there are<br />
new and improved water<br />
billing systems on the<br />
market that are not labour<br />
intensive and compile a<br />
very detailed record of history<br />
of usage which can be<br />
used to help sort out consumer<br />
questions and<br />
prevent<br />
misunderstandings.<br />
Leaders in Training<br />
At the Sept. 10 Council<br />
Meeting, Gwen Snell,<br />
Director of Community<br />
Service, proudly suggested<br />
the resolution that Hanna<br />
Council unanimously<br />
passed recognizing the volunteer<br />
commitment and<br />
dedication of students<br />
Brandon Barth, Abby<br />
Kolkman, Drew McGillion<br />
and Owen Olsen for their<br />
participation in the Leaders<br />
in Training Program.<br />
Their contribution to<br />
other programs and activities<br />
provided by the Town of<br />
Hanna in <strong>20<strong>19</strong></strong> was nominated<br />
as well.<br />
Mayor Warwick presented<br />
a Certificate of<br />
Completion and gift cards to<br />
the four successful<br />
participants.<br />
Angela McGillion is the<br />
program trainer.<br />
Leaders in Training are<br />
required to provide a minimum<br />
of 125 hours of<br />
volunteer service, obtain<br />
first aid training and complete<br />
the HIGH FIVE<br />
Principles of Healthy Child<br />
Development course.<br />
Snell said this is a heavy<br />
commitment and very valuable<br />
in terms of developing<br />
strong leaders.<br />
Potential Leaders in<br />
Training were recruited<br />
this spring and required to<br />
apply to the program.<br />
Under the guidance of the<br />
experienced leaders, the<br />
four young people gained<br />
the knowledge and understanding<br />
of the<br />
requirements to implement<br />
a successful recreation program,<br />
and the importance<br />
of role modelling for young<br />
children.<br />
The students were very<br />
actively involved in the Epic<br />
Adventures Summer<br />
Program. Snell noted<br />
Hanna had developed a very<br />
good product and a lot of<br />
towns have asked to copy it.<br />
Snell proudly admitted,<br />
“Hanna gladly shares”.<br />
Pool liners installed<br />
Gwen Snell, Director of<br />
Community Services, made<br />
a report on the status of the<br />
installation of the Town<br />
Pool liners.<br />
The pools are now closed<br />
to the public for the season,<br />
have been drained, and the<br />
old liners have been<br />
removed.<br />
The remains of the old liners<br />
are being prepared for recycling<br />
and have been placed in the<br />
large dumpster which has been<br />
set near the pool area.<br />
Installation of the new liners<br />
is underway and once the new<br />
liners are fully installed the<br />
pools will be partially filled and<br />
winterized.<br />
Arena opening<br />
Snell reported that the<br />
opening of the Hanna Arena is<br />
on schedule for Oct. 11.<br />

and looks very nice.<br />
Spray Park Committee<br />

Snell reported that the Spray<br />

Playworks to prepare a design<br />
build for the Spray Park.<br />
Director Snell noted she is<br />
working with the Committee on<br />
Important asset<br />
Cont’d from Pg 4<br />
Valley Ski Hill has been<br />
an important asset to the<br />
community as there are no<br />
other ski hills within 150<br />
kilometres of Alliance.<br />
Schools come from six different<br />
counties in the<br />
eastern part of the province<br />
including Wainwright,<br />
Camrose, Flagstaff,<br />
Paintearth, Stettler, and<br />
Special Areas, giving every<br />
student the opportunity to<br />
learn how to ski, a chance<br />
they would probably not get<br />
if Valley Ski Hill didn’t exist.<br />
“We really do have a lot of<br />
school kids come and learn<br />
how to ski. It’s a super<br />
family friendly sport and it’s<br />
so much fun for kids and it’s<br />
a winter outdoor sport.”<br />
MacRea highlight the disabled<br />
ski program,<br />
something unique to the hill<br />
as there are scarcely little<br />
programs for disabled<br />
people to utilize in the area.<br />
“Around here the only<br />
other option is hockey<br />
unless it’s a team sport in<br />
school,” said MacRea. “And<br />
two: we have the CAD<br />
answer to puzzle on page 11<br />
program which is a disabled<br />
program. Like in the city<br />
there are opportunities, out<br />
here not so many.”<br />
The hill also has a racing<br />
program, and a freestyle<br />
program which gives children<br />
of any age or ability the<br />
opportunity to develop that<br />
passion for skiing that their<br />
parents and grandparents<br />
had, despite the flatter<br />
landscape.<br />
The community’s ‘passion<br />
for play’ all started 72 years<br />
ago, when a group of volunteers<br />
with a passion for<br />
skiing got together and<br />
started a ski hill.<br />
They relocated 15 years<br />
later to the present location.<br />
In <strong>19</strong>89, the lodge burnt<br />
down, and again the volunteers<br />
and the community<br />
rallied and rebuilt a beautiful<br />
new lodge.<br />
This love for skiing has<br />
been passed down from generation<br />
to generation, as has<br />
the determination to run a<br />
quality ski hill out on the<br />
prairies.<br />

Constant<br />
theme<br />
Cont’d from Pg 7<br />
The family moved back to Romania<br />
when Bianca was young, and it was in<br />
Pitesti, Romania, where she started<br />
playing tennis at age 7.<br />
They moved back to Canada a few<br />
years later and Bianca was 11 when<br />
she became involved with Tennis<br />
Canada.<br />
There is a constant theme to the<br />
backgrounds of other top Canadian<br />
tennis players:<br />
— Toronto’s Milos Raonic, who<br />
missed this year’s U.S. Open due to<br />
injury, was born in Yugoslavia (now<br />
Montenegro) and is of Serb heritage.<br />
His parents, worried about political<br />
unrest in the Balkans, moved the<br />
family to Brampton, Ont., in <strong>19</strong>94,<br />
when Milos was three.<br />
— Félix Auger-Aliassime, currently<br />
the top-ranked male in our country,<br />
was born in Canada, but his father<br />
emigrated from Togo, and married a<br />
Quebec woman.<br />
— Denis Shapovalov, the thirdranked<br />
Canadian who made it to the<br />
third round of the U.S. Open, was born<br />
in Tel Aviv, Israel, the son of Russian-<br />
Israeli citizens Tessa and Viktor<br />
Shapovalov. They moved from Russia<br />
to Tel Aviv when<br />
the Soviet Union<br />
was collapsing,<br />
later settling in<br />
Canada.<br />
— Vasek<br />
Pospisil, from<br />
Vernon, B.C., is<br />
the fourthranked<br />
Canadian<br />
male. His parents<br />
Milos and Mila<br />
escaped the<br />
Communist<br />
regime in<br />
Czechoslovakia<br />
in <strong>19</strong>88 and<br />
wound up in<br />
Vernon, where<br />
Vasek was born<br />
in <strong>19</strong>90.<br />
Immigration, it<br />
seems, has been<br />
good for the fortunes<br />
of<br />
Canadian tennis.<br />
Say tennis fans<br />
from coast to<br />
coast: Keep ’em<br />
