Many gaping mouths and wide eyes

to construct.
The school band also played a few
songs like ‘Dreams of Victory’ and
‘God Save the Queen’.
Dinny Lovig, a former Irma school

school’s history written by Ruth

over from the

didn’t miss any days because of it.
“The kids left on Friday at the end of
their regular classes and started
Monday in their new classes. It went
extremely smooth because everyone
pitched in and did what needed to be
done to lessen the impact on the kids.”
Some of the features of the $16 million
modernization include an open
community library, large common
area in front of the school where they
can host gatherings, a playground and
community spaces available for rent.

was to have a space a third of its current

The community stepped up by providing

With the new school in place, the old

Students are thrilled with their

“They really enjoy it. Well obviously
it’s new and it’s physically nicer but
again, the design of it, we worked
really hard to try to make it have some
good flow and have them have spots to
be able to work in small groups and
they really like that,” said Grosky.
The school offers Kindergarten to
Grade 12 classes as well as playschool
services and before and after school
programming.

PARLIAMENT
‘Greatest honour of my life’
Damien Kurek, MP
Battle River-Crowfoot
On Nov. 25, I was officially
Sworn-In as the
Member of Parliament for
Battle River – Crowfoot in
the 43rd Canadian
Parliament.
It is the greatest honour of
my life, along with my wife
Danielle and my family, to
be able to serve this
constituency.
I am energized and eager
to represent all of you, to
advocate and fight for East
Central Alberta, and to take
action on the issues you
shared with me throughout
the campaign.
Since the election, I have
been busy travelling to
events and meetings across
the constituency.
I have opened a main
office in Camrose and
Ottawa.
I was able to see the
reality of how powerful elections
are and that our

MORRIN COUNCIL
Special meeting
remuneration
Council motioned to
change the remuneration for
special meetings during regular
working hours for the
Chief Administrative
Officer (CAO).
Presently, the CAO gets
paid $50 for special meetings
even if the meeting falls
during the CAO’s regular
work hours.
“It was set up that way
when I was hired to work
here,” stated CAO Plachner.
Council approved a
motion that the CAO will
not receive compensation
for extra meetings that are
during working hours.
Council also reminded
CAO Plachner of the unanimous
motion in April that
bank reconciliations and
bank statements be provided
at the council meetings
quarterly.
Helton directed that “We
get back on track of that at
the December 18 meeting.”
Other unanswered
requests by council included
where the $55,000 overrun
on the fire pump motor
replacement was coming out
in the budget, as was promised
by Plachner at the
special meeting.
Plachner did not recall
where the monies were
found in the budget stating
finally, “I took that from
something we didn’t do. It’s
covered anyway.”
Plachner agreed to inform
council exactly where the
monies were found for the
overrun at their next
meeting.

system empowers Canadians to be able
to choose their representatives. I join
337 other MPs from across Canada,
also elected by their continents, to
serve Canadians. Even though MPs
will disagree, I am looking forward to
the opportunity to engage in the process
of governing our great country.
My Swearing-In became especially
poignant when Danielle and I, along
with a few of family members learned
that my Great-Great Uncle’s name was
going to be displayed in the World War
II Book of Remembrance the following
day.
For those who have not had the
opportunity to visit Parliament let me
explain; there is a small chapel on
Parliament Hill that houses a series of
books that records the name of every
Canadian Serviceman and Woman
who has been lost in service to our
Country.
Each day the pages of these books
are turned, to ensure that once a year,
every person who died in service has
their name displayed in the heart of
Canada’s democratic system.
Danielle, myself, my children and a
few family members arrived at the
“Room of Remembrance” shortly
before the ceremony was scheduled to
begin.
We witnessed a simple, but powerful
ceremony when the pages are turned.
After the ceremony I was able to
view and even feel the page where
Flight Officer John Earl Stillings of
the RCAF is memorialized.
I share this story with you because
our democracy and the freedoms that
we have as Canadians are not something
that we can forget. We should not
dismiss nor can we ever neglect to protect
this. Although we face serious
challenges as a province and region,
we live in an amazing country.
In future columns I will address concerns,
current events, initiatives, and
many other subjects.

OPINION
The opinions expressed are not necessarily
the opinions of this newspaper.
Mind control
B. Schimke
ECA Review
It’s hard not to be concerned about
the future, when one watches the news.
The world is in an uproar, citizens are
rioting, democratic elections are being
compromised, autocratic leaders, corruption
and ethic cleansing are on the
rise.
There are lots of scary men to blame,
but I would argue the two most powerful
kingpins in the demise of a stable
world are China’s eternal Premier, Xi
Jinping, and Facebook’s founder and
president, Mark Zuckerberg.
“
They have God-like
status and directly or
indirectly control the
minds of 40 per cent of
the world’s population.
Jinping has the power to directly
control the minds of 1.43 billion people
(18.4 per cent of the world’s population)
and Zuckerberg has personal power
over an unregulated platform that controls
the minds of 2.5 billion people
(19.1 per cent of the world’s population).
In China, Jinping controls all media
and uses the military to control any
dissidents. He has brutalized millions
of Muslims by forcing them into massive
concentration camps, ironically
named, re-education centres, to beat
their religion out of them.
With the Americans withdrawing
into themselves, Jinping’s agenda for
world dominance is moving forward
quickly. Communist China has and
continues to directly invest billions
into infrastructure projects in developing
nations and rouge states,
specifically in Africa, South America
and Eastern Europe.
Chinese state-owned companies
have bought strategic industries in all
of the G-7 nations and through Huawei
are offering the cheapest and best G5
network on the market today, making
it an obvious choice for Canada’s three
Telecom giants.
As our governments pulls funding
from post secondary institutions, the
Chinese have stepped into the void
making significant investments at our
major universities.
Lest we forget, money equals
influence.
Then there’s Facebook, a wonderful
tool for keeping up with families and
friends. It is little wonder that people
sign up in the millions annually.
Roger McNamee in his must-read
book, ‘Zucked’ argues that Zuckerberg,
in his relentless pursuit of growth has
forgone any moral obligations to user’s
privacy or mental health.

“
McNamee, was a consultant and
friend to Zuckerberg and once a strong
advocate of Facebook. Now he is
arguing for a breakup of Facebook and
more regulatory control.
Zuck’s business model is to exploit
personal data to anyone willing to pay
and as such his platform has enabled
anonymous bad actors to undermine
governments and increase civil rights
violations worldwide.
Zuck calls Facebook, free speech.
McNamee says anonymous free speech
is no free speech at all.
In 2018, Science Magazine, published
a study that revealed disinformation
and fake news are shared 70 per cent
more often than factual stories and
spread roughly six times faster.
A free-for-all on Facebook clearly
benefits bad actors. The algorithms
prey on behaviour modification techniques
that create addictions. Its
algorithms are designed to move
people into filter bubbles—creating
tribal
behaviours.
Zuck’s largest
revenue streams
come from sites
with the most
hate, fear, anger
and conspiracy
theories.
Jinping’s
overall goal is to
be the supreme
economic and military
leader of the
world. Zuck’s singular
focus is to
pursue global
influence and
massive personal
profits. In so
doing, Zuck has
abdicated his platform
to bad actors
and fake news.
Today these two
men, each with
suspect morals,
are not accountable
to anyone but
themselves.
They have Godlike
status and
directly or indirectly
control the
minds of 40 per
cent of the world’s
population.
That should
cause all of us to
ponder
McNamee’s most
profound observation,
“You see the
effect today
among people
whose embrace of
Donald Trump
has required them
to abandon personal
beliefs held
deeply only a few
years earlier.”

Thank you
PRAIRIEVIEW
Science or propaganda?
by Herman
Schwenk
About three
weeks ago my son
Michael sent me a
scientific document
that was 22
pages in length
written by Sacha
Dobler explaining
the detailed
causes of climate
change.
Now there is no
way that I can
condense a document
of that
length into a
column of 650
words. But I did
get the message
out of that paper
that the current
proponents of
climate change
are so far out to
lunch on the propaganda
they
are promoting
that it defies
reason.
Nowhere in that
paper did it make
any reference to
C02 emissions as
a cause of climate
change. Well.
actually in one
place it did say
that water vapour
[that is a gas not
water condensation]
has 10 times
the power of C02
as a greenhouse
gas.
Climate is
affected by cosmic
rays and solar
flares.
This scientist
seems to maintain
that at the
present time we
may be entering a
period of very low
solar activity
known as a Grand
Solar Minimum
or much less sun
spot activity. This
means that we are
in a cooling
trend.
When I read
through that
paper it became
very clear that
the current propaganda
that we
are being exposed
to actually has it
all backwards.
Mr. Dobler has
clearly stated that
the climate has
been cooling since
the year 2000.
In a Grand
Solar Minimum,
more cosmic rays
enter earth’s
atmosphere. Here,
these high
velocity particles,
mostly protons,
collide with atmospheric
atoms and
dissociate in a
cascading mode
into smaller subatomic
particles.
These particles
act as cloud nuclei
by ionization and
propagate low
cloud formation.
Some particles
may reach the
earth’s surface
and even penetrate
it. In this
way, more cosmic
rays accelerate
storm formation,
erratic rainfall,
snowstorms, hail
and local
flooding. And in

cooling.
He goes on to
write Grande
Solar Minima, the
cooler phases, are
historically prone
to drought and,
due to jet stream
disturbances, also
singular heat
waves and wild
fires increase.
So it is cooling
not warming that
is the cause of
extreme weather
events.

damage.
were discussing
what was
expected in the
Government’s
Throne speech.
She said that a
high priority had
to be climate
change policy.
Of course, what
she meant was
policy to reach the
Paris Accord
targets.
This woman
says that what she
is promoting is
climate science.
Well, that is
pure fiction.
She has stated
that 11,000 scientists
agree that
C02 emissions
have to be drastically
reduced to
avoid a 1.5 degree
Celsius increase
in global temperature
by the end of
the century.

The Coronation Evangelical Free Church wishes
to thank all those in our community who
participated in our Roast Beef Supper Fundraiser
on May 4, 2019. As a result of your generosity,
we were able to raise $11,000, which will go towards some of our
pressing building maintenance issues. With the funds we raised,
we will be replacing two sets of double doors, and part of our West
Exterior Wall, where water has been seeping through and flooding
our basement. While we had originally planned to replace the
shingles on our roof, the issues with our doors and wall are more
pressing, so we have made the decision to fix them first.
Thank you again for your generosity, and if you have any
questions, please feel free to call Pastor Clayton Grice at
(403) 578-3884, or Barry Lindmark at (306) 296-7833.

She maintains
this has to happen
in the next decade
or the harm will
be irreversible.
Well, science is
not about large
majorities but
about evidence
and current evidence
indicates
the opposite.
It would be
interesting to see
where Elizabeth
May and the rest
of those climate
change zealots
are getting what
they claim is scientific
information.
They obviously
are not reading
the real climate
science that scientists
like Sacha
Dobler are publishing,
or if they
are, then these
people, and that
includes the
media, have deliberately
lied and
misled the public
to achieve an
agenda that has
nothing to do with
climate change.
I do believe that
if this foolishness
continues for
another decade
we may have an
irreversible
disaster, and I am
not talking about
climate damage.
I am referring
to a financial
disaster that
could see the
world go
bankrupt.
Countries
“
around the world
are incurring
huge deficits and
debts. Much of
this debt is due to
climate change
policy.
When governments
subsidize
green energy
technology that
cannot compete
with traditional
forms of energy,
they are consuming
wealth to
line the pockets of
those green
energy developers
that are exploiting
hard working taxpayers
instead of
allowing the capitalist
system to
work and produce
wealth.

6 D ecember 5'19 HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLer, AB. ECA REVIEW
CAO Entitlements Policy
Cont’d from Pg 2
Following a closed session
that CAO Plachner
refused to attend, council
moved to accept a CAO
Entitlements Policy.
It was explained that
this was a necessary step
as all documents from
the past listing these
benefits and amounts are
no longer in existence.
When questioned by
CAO Plachner, Mayor
Helton stated, “The purpose
of this policy is to
establish a record going
forward, as at this stage
there is neither a record
of entitlements nor documentation
of previous
council approval of these
current entitlements.
“ There is no change, it
is just what you are currently
getting as regards
to vacation, sick, salary,
the RSPs, staff holidays,
just so we have a record
of it,” he concluded.
FOIP fee returned
Further to missing
documents, council
motioned to return a $25
FOIP fee to Joyce
Webster, ECA Review
publisher, as per her
written request.
Coun. Melissa Wilton
read from the letter from
Catherine Taylor, Senior
Information and Privacy
Manager from the Office
of the Information and
Privacy Commissioner of
Alberta that, in part,
stated, ‘The written and
verbal reason cited by
the Public Body [CAO
Plachner] to deny access
is not a valid reason
under the FOIP Act.’
The letter concluded
stating “A public body
cannot simply refuse to
look for a record and
refuse to respond. The
FOIP Act was put in
place to prevent that
very thing.”
List of destroyed
documents
To be compliant with
the Municipal
Government Act (MGA)
Section 214 (1 and 2),
council passed a motion
to have the CAO present
a comprehensive report
listing all missing
documents.
CAO Plachner had
responded to John
Siemens request on Sept.
4, 2019 that the “minutes
from the 1970’s and 1980’s
were not available as
they do not exist any
longer and were apparently
disposed of years
ago when the storage
room was cleaned out in
the 90’s by council and a
summer student.”
Coun. Wilton continued
to read,
“Apparently the disposal
of documents was not
dealt with as per the
Municipal Government
Act.
Door into work area
Council proposed a
divider for the work
space area that is convenient
for all parties
working in the office,
instead of a separate
door, as quotes came in
ranging from $10,000 to
$20,000 for a door.
“It [the divider] won’t
work because of the
FOIP Act. Because of the
FOIP Act it has to be a
soundproof room,” said
CAO Plachner.
Council tabled the item
and motioned for CAO
Plachner to provide the
FOIP regulation section
that specifies the ‘work
space room’ would
require sound proofing
and provide it to council
before their meeting on
Wed. Dec. 18.
Correction
The Review apologizes
for the error in last
week’s Morrin report.
Monica Faupel, partner
in Endeavour Chartered
Accountants presented
the financial statements
to the village council at
their March 20, 2019 regular
meeting, not Tim
Ell, as we incorrectly
stated.

County concludes Municipal Accountability Review
Cont’d from Pg 3
Councillors debated who
they felt would be the best fit
including Bunbury, Bye and
Pilsworth.
“I do think that Marilyn
has a good perspective as
well. I wouldn’t cancel her
out,” said Dep. Reeve Doreen
Blumhagen.
“Sorry for using that term
but facts are there,” said
Reeve Schulmeister.
“I mean that there are
women who are active in
farming as well,” said
Blumhagen.
“Yeah well…” said
Schulmeister in a doubtful
voice.
“Careful Stan, careful,”
said Coun. Diane Elliott.
“She is just as qualified as
everyone [else],” added
Blumhagen.
The motion was made to
have Dale Pilsworth and
Dan Bunbury be appointed
to the ASB while Walter
Pickles, Loren Rodvang,
Gordon Wakefield and
Jaron Bye be appointed as
Members at large to sit on
the Weed and Pesticide
Appeal Board for a one-year
term.
Six councillors
were in favour
while Dep. Reeve
Blumhagen was
against it.
Since there
was one more
position needed
to be filled for the
weed and pesticide
board,
Weber who was
asked following
the meeting, if
she would be
interested in that
as she had only
mentioned her
initial interest in
the ASB.
She has since
accepted the
position.
After a short
break, Reeve
Schulmeister
opened the
meeting with a
short apology on
the matter
stating, “The
word I used
describing who
was applying was
not derogatory. It
was not meant as
such but because
of sensitivities I
formally apologize
for using the
term ‘Housewife’,
although I think
they are a very
important position
in our
world.”
Since the
council meeting,
Schulmeister has
sent a letter of
apology to Weber
for this comment.
MAP Review
Paintearth was
randomly
selected by the
provincial government
to
undergo the
Municipal
Accountability
Review (MAP) Report this
year in July.
The review is conducted
by Municipal Affairs officials
who dive into
administration’s policies,
procedures, records and
bylaws for compliance and
items that are not yet compliant
in the eyes of the
Municipal Government Act
(MGA).
It also gives council an
idea of the diverse responsibilities
of the county.
The final findings were
accepted during the council
meeting on Nov. 20 with 16
non-compliant items for the
county to solve.
Chief Administrative
Officer (CAO) Michael
Simpson noted these items
were mostly about bylaw or
policy wording.
“The items with this
report now complete, the
county was required to
implement an action plan to
tackle these non-compliant
items which they passed
during the same council
meeting.
This must be done within
a year which the CAO feels
confident they will.
“Administratively we don’t see any
glaring problems with the stuff they
have identified. It’s just a matter of getting
some policies and bylaws up to
date,” said CAO Simpson.
For positives outlined in the report,
the review noted the public participation
policy as well as public presence
at meetings, tax recovery, land use
bylaw, financial records and receipts,
and passing bylaws to name a few.
As for legislative gaps in administration’s
books, they found voting,
pecuniary interest, schedule of fees

CAO Simpson.
“They even stated ‘It’s not

thing. Their intention
is to have everything run a
little tighter and a little
more smoothly.”

ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB DECEmBER 5'19 11
New branding for Hanna
E. Morrill
ECA Review
Over 100 residents attended to hear
the new Town of Hanna Strategic Plan,
‘Embracing Change, State of the
Union’ forum at the Hanna
Community Centre on Thurs. Nov. 28.
Hanna council and Cactus Corridor
Economic Development Corporation
(CCEDC) hired 13 Ways Inc. to develop
a roadmap
designed to
bring prosperity
to
Hanna well
into the
future.
Mayor
Chad
Warwick
stated, “We
do need help from our citizens to
implement this new Strategic Plan”.
The new Strategic Plan is a document
of two pages with a playbook of
160 pages and is broken into sections.
Doug Griffiths, consultant of 13
Ways Inc., said the new vision for the
Town is, “A community cultivating an
unparalleled quality of life through
technology, agriculture and lifelong
learning.”
Rather than stating “values”, the
new Strategic Plan lists five items outlining
“What We Value”.
These five items are, agriculture,
education, technology, business and
collaboration.
Griffiths stressed the “What We
Value” items are “really important.
This is the plan and priorities beyond
basic infrastructure that always must
take precedence.”
If someone
shows up and
wants to
develop something
that
does not fit
into “What We
Value”, then
Hanna should
say “No”.
The new
Hanna logo representing agriculture,
technology and lifelong learning was
unveiled.
The phrase on the new Town Logo is
“Live the Lifestyle”.
Griffiths stated Hanna needs to reinvent
itself and acknowledged this was
not going to happen over night.
He said, “The only thing holding you
guys back is mind set.”

12 D ecember 5'19 HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLer, AB. ECA REVIEW
The Hanna Ministerial Association presented The
Community Christmas Carol Festival at the Hanna
Community Centre on Sun. Dec. 1. The St. George’s
Catholic Church choir participated in this 20-year
tradition singing ‘Carol of the Bells’. Other participants
included the Hanna Alliance Church, Seventh Day
Adventist Church, Bethel Church choir, Hanna Seniors’
‘Agriculture is huge’
Cont’d from Pg 11
“Where do we go from here?” asked
Mayor Warwick.
“Cactus Corridor needs to hire a
new economic team,” said Griffiths.
“A team with innovation to go out
and get business synonymous to the
core of “What We Value”.
The Strategic Plan compliments the
Strategic Economic Strategy of Cactus
Corridor and the region, so they will
be executed together.
Griffiths continued by stating
another top priority is innovative new
agriculture. He said, “Agriculture is
huge.”
Today, there are many changes in
agriculture through research and
innovation. There is vertical agriculture,
urban agriculture, neutral
pharmaceuticals, greenhouse agriculture
organics and hydroponics.
China and India are looking for safe,
secure food. They are not going to
know we exist if we do not advertise
and they then become aware of what
we can grow and our assets.
A third priority outlined by Griffiths
is the introduction of a new website for
Land for Sale by Tender
The following briefly describes property offered for sale by tender.
Choir, Redeemer Lutheran Church choir, Hanna First
United Church and Ira and Lana Ross. The offering of
$1,281 taken supports the Hanna Ministerial Emergency
Assistance Fund to help with gas and lodging for people
in need of emergency assistance passing through the
region and to help Hanna area families experiencing
domestic violence. ECA Review/R. Baumbach
marketing and have a sales pitch.
Pages should go faster, host videos and
modern look. It should be sophisticated
and show the great quality of life
Hanna offers.
Griffiths proposed the establishment
of local apprenticeship training which
would help the people of Hanna
develop careers in the trades and a
renovation for downtown.
If the community does not come
together no one else will take a risk.
An audience member said that in
addition to the ideas Griffiths put forward,
in some parts of the world they
are creating renewable energy from
food.
Mayor Warwick noted this line of
questioning was impressive and that
the Hanna Learning Centre is in the
process of establishing a business hub
which is charged with the task of
working with entrepreneurs to bring
new businesses to the Hanna region.
“When you sell it [your town], be
positive!” concluded Griffiths,
“Inoculate your friends against negativity.
If they are negative, it won’t sell.
