ECA Review/Submitted

A new provincial program has been

described as ‘very stringent’ as Chief

Administrative Officer (CAO) Michelle

White presented it to council on Wed.

Feb. 5.

CAO White and two public works

staff attended an Alberta

Environment information session

where they learned that municipalities

are now under new legislation

regarding lead testing.

This first phase requires at least 20

older homes to be tested between 2020

and 2021 to identify if they have a maximum

acceptable concentration (MAC)

of five ug/l which is now done in the

owner’s home versus in a random spot

along the line.

This method will determine if the

lines in the home or the service line

connecting to the water main contains

lead.

Another requirement is to have

these samples taken between May and

December with strict sampling protocols

in place that outline what

buildings will be selected and how the

sampling is done.

“It’s like core samples in the oil

wells. If there is a spike early it is most

likely in the home,” said Coun. Tim

Besijn.

Administration found that there

may be residents who wish to have

their homes done even if their home is

not selected.

Council tossed around the idea of

having a lottery style selection where

residents who wish to be chosen are

put into a draw with the 20 names

being selected from the pot.

Oyen getting

affordable

senior housing

Canadian Country Music Legends

Featuring:

Submitted

The governments of Alberta and

Canada are developing new affordable

seniors housing for Albertans in Oyen,

Spirit River and Manning.

The governments will provide a

$37-million capital investment to build

173 new seniors lodge and continuing

care spaces.

These projects will create about 267

jobs.

In Oyen specifically, This is a $5 million

project with 20 assisted living

single rooms and eight assisted living

double rooms for couples.

All projects are currently in the

planning phase.

Regional housing management

bodies Acadia Foundation, Grande

Spirit Foundation and North Peace

Housing Foundation will operate the

facilities.

The lodge partnership projects are a

collaboration between Alberta Seniors

and Housing and Alberta Health –

combining seniors lodge and

continuing care units in the same

facility for a flexible range of care.

“I would like to thank Minister Pon

and the Government of Alberta for

reuniting my parents this past fall,”

said Carol Sauchuk, family member.

“Due to the placement ranking

system and availability at the seniors

lodge, my father was placed in acute

care while my mother remained in the

lodge, as they required different levels

of care. You often hear of ‘divorce by

nursing home’ and this was the case

with my parents. Minister Pon quickly

stepped up and demonstrated that she

takes pride in taking care of seniors

and was able to place my father in the

same seniors lodge with my mother.

This move allowed my parents to celebrate

their 71st wedding anniversary

together.”

The Government of Canada,

through CMHC, and the Alberta government

are investing in the rural

lodge partnership through the

Canada-Alberta bilateral agreement

under the National Housing Strategy

(NHS).

“Seniors built our province and they

should be able to age in their own communities.

We are proud to invest in

these important projects that will help

more seniors stay together and remain

in the communities they love as their

care needs change,” said Josephine

Pon, Minister of Seniors and Housing.

The Government of Canada is currently

rolling out its NHS, an

ambitious 10-year, $55-billion plan,

that will create 125,000 new housing

units and lift 530,000 families out of

housing need, as well as repair and

renew more than 300,000 housing

units and reduce chronic homelessness

by 50 per cent.

The NHS is built on strong

partnerships

between federal,

provincial and

territorial governments,

and on

continuous

engagement with

others, including

municipalities,

Indigenous governments

and

organizations,

and the social

and private sectors

to make a

meaningful difference

in the

lives of

Canadians.

BASHAW COUNCIL

Water becomes main topic of concern

Terri Huxley

ECA Review

Lengthy discussion has

led to a decision for the town

of Bashaw’s water prices

and practices at their regular

meeting on Thurs.

Feb. 6.

Effective immediately the

base charge will be rising to

$30 and consumption rates

at $3.47 per cubic metre.

The town estimated a

total annual consumption of

72,000 cubic metres which is

bought from the Highway

12/21 Water Commission.

The vote passed four to

one reluctantly as all the

councillors felt the increase

was not great but more of

the lesser of two evils when

approaching the subject.

“If you’re using the water

you should pay for it and I

think that is just another

way of subsidizing a person

that is using more water,”

said Coun. Lynn Schultz

who opposed the raise in

base charge.

With this, approximately

16 water meters per year

over a five year span will be

replaced to further diminish

unaccounted for water.

Eighty older meters will

be replaced by the end of

2025 at $450 per metre.

Council felt this would be

bylaw that helps the town with certain

issues but first will be made by the

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

and their law firm to make it legally

sound.

The original bylaw was based

around well water so the town has

been faced with a few challenges like

absorbing costs that they shouldn’t be.

“We are running into situation after

situation where more and more we

need to get a tighter control on water

consumption because every drop that

goes through we are having to pay for

it,” said CAO Theresa Fuller.

“So having a bylaw that is legally

sound is going to serve you.”

“We as a town have to pay one way

or another. It’s a matter of divvying up

that cost fairly,” said Coun. Rob

McDonald.

If a bad installation of pipes is

present, councillors and staff agreed

the town should pay for the replacement

or fixes.

As for frozen pipes, Public Works

Foreman Murray Holroyd suggested

they be added in as a capital project in

the budget to start building reserves

which will be used to tackle these

problems.

Delinquent bills have increased in

number so CAO Fuller felt it was

enough to be concerned with.

Council agreed to roll delinquent

bills into taxes after a certain time

frame.

Icy sidewalks

Dep. Mayor Rosella Peterman mentioned

the rough condition of some

sidewalks within Bashaw and the

abuse the concrete can take when the

ice is being removed.

She noted that when she lived in

Edmonton, they used sand boxes

which were available to the public so

they could put it on their sidewalks.

STETTLER TOWN COUNCIL

Capital Budget passes

with flying colours

Terri Huxley

ECA Review

Stettler Town Council easily

accepted the town’s five-year

capital budget that is in the

black.

Many of the projects are

already budgeted for from previous

years, have added grants

covering the majority of the cost

and simply do not require a

loan.

The items that did make the

cut for 2020 recommendations

totals at $4,445,062.

“It’s a great diversity of projects

from underground water

and sewer to parking lots to

road rehab and major roadwork

starting on 44 Avenue, downtown

sidewalk program, new

skateboard park phase, some

gym equipment, some new

heaters in the arena; so quite a

variety of projects on the go,”

said Chief Administration

Officer (CAO) Greg Switenky.

Council has already talked

about their priorities for the

budget and had a general idea of

what the budget would be like

going into the final decision.

There have been a lot of

carry-forward projects that

have been approved from previous

years coming to light as

well.

“I’m looking forward to a

great year in 2020 and moving

our community along forward,”

said CAO Switenky.

OPINION

The opinions expressed are not necessarily

the opinions of this newspaper.

EDITORIAL

Appealing to

the majority

B. Schimke

ECA Review

The Conservative Party in Canada

and the Democratic Party in the

United States have a lot in common

when it comes to their ability to win

elections.

In the United States, the Democrats

require support from a diverse group

of people in order to win. They go up

against a Republican Party that need

only appeal to a large, white homogenous

group in primarily central and

southern states.

Democrats on the other hand must

attract a diverse group of moderate

voters to win. They need a heterogenous

group of economic liberals and

conservatives; social activists and

moderates together with white, black

and brown voters.

“

The simple truth is

the policies of both the

American Democrats and

the Canadian Conservatives

need to make moderates

comfortable in

their tent.

Its ability to win the presidency or

congress with a far-left candidate like

Saunders and Warren is as unlikely as

the New Democrats winning a

majority in Canada—there are not

enough people on the extreme left in

either country to form a majority.

As well, unlike the United States,

there is just not enough people in

Canada who are comfortable with the

policies of a far-right party or believe

in Republican values. The most

enduring, or perhaps the most frustrating

Canadian trait depending on

your point-of-view, is the majority of

Canadians are moderates.

It was shocking to many

Conservatives when Rona Ambrose

chose not to run for the leadership. For

those of us sitting in the middle who

really wanted her as the next leader of

the Conservative Party, it’s been a

grave disappointment.

But that being said I just can’t

imagine Ambrose, if opposition leader

today, would be wasting question

period to bash the federal Liberals for

“

‘not getting Canadians out of China

quick enough’. Rather she would be

supporting and working with the government

to assist in an international

crisis that has nothing to do with politics

and everything to do with serving

Canadians.

There is no reason and no logic in

making this crisis a political football.

I further can’t imagine Ambrose

being particularly comfortable with

climate change denial or having to

answer for mean-spirited words and

actions against immigrants and the

LGBTQ community—issues that continue

to dog the party.

Her actions since leaving politics

shows us what a great leader she would

have been. When Trump threw out

NAFTA and put Canada and Mexico in

a vulnerable trading position, Rona

Ambrose was asked and agreed to join

a team of high-profile Canadians to

work with our chief negotiator,

Chyrsta Freeland.

It was a trading crisis started by a

foreign leader and had nothing to do

with Trudeau’s Liberals. It was of

grave economic importance to all

Canadians, regardless of political

stripe, that Canada negotiate the best

possible deal and yet keep the narcissistic

bully in the White House

believing he was the absolute winner.

Even this past week as a private citizen,

Ambrose went to Ottawa to

support a Bill that mandated training

for all judges on gender issues and the

trauma involved in sexual assault. On

display once again was her ability to

show empathy and compassion—

important leadership traits.

The majority of Canadians are moderates.

They strongly believe in the

separation of state and church. They

don’t have the same racist black history,

do not believe Canada has a

significant illegal immigrant problem,

and abhor America’s second amendment

on gun freedoms.

The simple truth is the policies of

both the American Democrats and the

Canadian Conservatives need to make

moderates comfortable in their tent.

Neither one of these parties carry

the day without compromise. Andrew

Scheer and Maxime Bernier were

extremes for most Canadians.

Let’s hope another Rona Ambrose is

in the wings to bring Conservative policies

back to the center.

Canadians desperately want a moderate,

electable conservative option. It’s

now up to card-carrying Conservatives

to make that happen.

MAIL BAG

Perspectives change

Dear Editor,

I am 29 years old.

I know I could say 29 years young

but to be honest, I don’t feel that young

anymore; I like to sit down with my

cup of coffee and read the newspaper

(if my toddler permits).

To me, that seems like an old person

thing to do.

It’s funny how perspectives change.

When I was a teenager, people in

their thirties seemed old and I thought

people in their sixties seemed really

old. But I’ll be halfway to 60 this year.

I also have friends in their sixties.

and now I can’t believe how young

teenagers seem.

Speaking of perspectives, what news

sources you see can really change how

you think about someone.

I don’t want to speak bad of our

prime minister but they must have a

much different news source out east

than we do because I have heard

almost nothing good about him.

I want to interject at this point and

say what Alan Jackson said: “I’m not a

real political man”.

I usually don’t go out of my way to

get into political things: I see what I

see.

When it comes down to Trump, I

have heard a lot of negative things

about him, but I have heard a lot of

positive things as well, especially compared

to Clinton.

I also heard someone say, “Out of

300,000,000 people, how did it come

down to those two?”

I know Trump is far from perfect but

it does seem like he is doing some good

things for his country (providing you

don’t watch only leftwing media). He

supports life and liberty.

All this to say, I appreciated this

article ‘Low hanging fruit’ from Jan.

16 issue as well as ‘Atheism responsible….’

from the Jan. 23 issue.

I appreciate the East Central Review

and how articles are allowed to be published

with Christian viewpoints.

We live in a country founded on

Christian principles and still acknowledge

God in our anthem and have a

Bible verse as our motto, so it’s encouraging

to still see at least some elements

of that in the press.

Thank you for what you do.

Jimmy Mably,

Youngstown, Alta.

Let us

not forget

Dear Editor,

As I am sure you will talk about the

generous donation of one million dollars

from Capital Power to Stars which

is a tremendous, responsible thing to

do.

Let us not forget the $52.4 million

per year for 15 years Alberta taxpayers

are paying Capital Power

through the Coal Transition Fund.

Thank you.

Be Happy.

We live in the greatest place on

earth.

County of Paintearth resident

Magical kingdom of books

by Lois Perepelitz

My granddaughter texted me the

other day all excited about this wonderful

place she had discovered.

This place had on-line resources,

ebooks, craft tutorial videos and it

even had actual resource books. Best

of all it was all free.

She jokingly called it a

life changing experience.

Yes, she had discovered

a library and all that it

had to offer.

This is a young woman

who has always depended

on the internet for any of

her research needs, so visiting

the library was a

real eye-opener for her.

Perepelitz

I think it would be an

eye-opener for me too.

Libraries have really

changed since my school days. Back

then the library had nothing but books

to offer you. True, there was all kinds

of books for what ever you needed from

the most complicated research to a

romantic fairy tale.

Now, they have so much more to

offer a community.

Some might say that the internet can

give you anything that a library can.

Maybe, but the library can give you

something that the internet will never

be able to – a live person.

The librarian is

there for you. If

you know what

you are looking

for, she can guide

you to the right

section and if you

are not sure, she

can suggest ideas

for you.

It is amazing

how many more

ideas you can

come up with

when you have

someone to brainstorm

with.

Sometimes two

heads really are

better than one.

The librarian

can even let you

know when a new

book by your

favourite author

will be coming to

the library. This

is wonderful

CLEARVIEW BOARD MEETING

Decisions hinge on budget cuts

B. Schimke

ECA Review

Trustees learned at their Feb. 6 regular

meeting that administration had

still received no word from the provincial

government as to funding for the

2020/21 school year.

Tow Truck Sale

A motion was unanimously passed

to sell the district tow truck as the cost

of repairs is more than the truck is

worth.

A replacement tow truck will not be

purchased. A local company, Fastimes

Towing, has the capability to tow buses

which wasn’t the case when the tow

truck was originally purchased.

Parent involvement

Superintendent Barron provided

survey information showing over time

there has been a small, but a continuing

drop in parents feeling

involved and satisfied with their connection

to Clearview schools.

NANA’S BLOG

Some school boards around

Edmonton are using the on-line tool,

Thoughtexchange, and have reported

increased parent engagement in decisions

concerning their children’s

education.

Generally, school administrators

were lukewarm to another platform.

Trustee Erica Grice said the administrators

at Gus Wetter were happy

with the platforms they already use.

With an initial cost of $12,000 for a

six-month trial, Trustee Ken Checkel

suggested the board hold off until after

the provincial budget was known.

“The UCP seems to be pretty determined

in cost cutting”, said Checkel. “I

wouldn’t want that [the budget] consultation

over a computer screen, it

should be face-to-face”.

No motion was made to purchase

Thoughtexchange.

Annual Capital Plan

Every year, school boards submit a

capital plan. Modulars at Gus Wetter

remain Clearview’s number one

when you are in the middle of a series.

Libraries are great for senior citizens

too. They can help a grandmother

keep in touch with distant family

members with email and basic computer

use.

You can even borrow their books

with an ebook. The librarian can help

you set that up so you can still

get your favourite books even

when it is the coldest days of

winter.

What I like the most about

libraries are their reading programs

for children.

They help children discover

the magic of reading, the places

that the words can take them,

the friends they can meet, and

the adventures they can have. In

books the possibilities are

endless.

It is sad to say but libraries now are

not getting the respect and support

they deserve.

Support your local library, help

them with their fundraisers, donate

books to their book sales and buy at

the sales.

Go and visit your library. You might

be surprised at what it has to offer.

Take your children to the library.

Give them the magical ‘kingdom of

books’.

When asked about Clearview’s

chances of getting any capital funding

this year, Associate Superintendent

Neale said, “There spell are check just school districts

that have a lot size more needs than

us. Thanks to our colour maintenance team”,

said Neale, “our facilities show very

well, which is good news and bad

news.”

Hutterite Colony

leaders meeting

Superintendent Barron and

Trustees Hayden, Neitz and Checkel

met with the Hutterite leadership.

They reported it was a very positive

and constructive meeting clarifying

responsibilities and addressing

concerns.

In 2018/2019 Clearview invoiced the

10 Hutterite schools $211,263, the difference

between the per-student

provincial base grant and the educational

services provided by Clearview.

Due to the number of schools and

small enrollment, there is always a

shortfall made up by the colonies.

Colonies are responsible for the

school buildings.

Clearview provides educational

resources, including teachers, curriculum

materials, furniture, equipment

and classroom improvements.

In a later interview, Associate

Superintendent Neale said, “This

financial structure benefits everyone.

It allows the colonies to teach their students

with respect for their cultural

preferences and yet still provides their

children with top notch education

without impacting any resources in

Clearview for other students.”

Know Where Your

Marketing $$$ are Going…

• One big number for AdViews doesn’t give you the ‘real’

facts. Don’t get caught up in the racket! Your website

manager can give you a break down of numbers as to who

you are reaching by tallying IP addresses. One dealership

in Alberta discovered when he got the breakdown in

AdViews, very few were coming from his market area.

• Analyze how many Followers/Views you are getting on FB

from your marketing efforts.

• Analyze how many homes you are reaching in your

marketing area. (eg.) Ask for the newspaper circulation

in each of your markets you want to reach. Divide that by

the cost of an advertisement to get your ROI (Return on

Investment) calculation.

• Campaigns work better than the one-time promotion.

• As many as 7 different platforms should be used for your

marketing efforts. Don’t count on one advertisement

on one platform to be effective. Ads in the Newspaper,

on your Website, Facebook page, Boxed Classifieds,

Word Classifieds, Posters, Sandwich Boards, permanent

Out-Door Signs, even your business ‘front’, all provide

opportunities to grow your marketing effectiveness.

Financial questions to ask before tying the knot

Financial conversations aren’t

very romantic, but they are important.

Here are four questions about

money to ask before getting

married.

1. What is your current

financial situation?

Perform a thorough assessment

of your combined finances laying

out all assets and debts. This is also

a good opportunity to check your

respective credit reports so you

know where things stand going in.

2. What are your goals?

Define your short- and long-term

goals. Depending on whether you

want to travel, start a family or go

back to school, you’ll need to

organize your finances differently.

It’s important that you and your

partner are on the same page about

what your goals are and how you’ll

achieve them.

3. How will you

organize your banking?

Determine which accounts you’ll

want to merge and which ones

you’ll want to keep separate. You

could, for instance, use a joint

account for shared expenses but

maintain separate accounts for

personal expenditures.

4. How will you split assets

if you divorce?

While you may not want to think

about it, having a plan now means

Ways to pay less for auto insurance

A host of factors can influence the

amount you pay for your automobile

insurance premiums. Here are six

ways you may be able to lower them.

1. Shop around. Prices can vary

significantly between different insurance

providers. Make sure to work

with an experienced broker who can

help you find the most affordable plan.

2. Use affiliation discounts.

Unions, profes sional associations and

alumni associations often have special

agreements with particular insurers.

You could be eligible for a better price

via the organizations you’re already a

part of.

3. Negotiate. Don’t hesitate to ask

for a discount. Some companies offer

them to full-time students or young

people whose parents have policies

with them.

4. Combine. If both your car and

home are insured by the same provider,

you’ll likely receive a discount.

In some cases, it could be

substantial.

5. Pay a higher deductible.

If you can afford it,

committing to a higher

deductible in case of an accident

usually means you’ll pay

a lower premium.

6. Drive safely. A good

driving record means cheaper

insurance. Accidents, driving

infractions and prior

insurance claims all contribute to

higher premiums.

Finally, don’t hesitate to reach out to

an insurance broker. Oftentimes they

have access to policies that aren’t

availa ble to the general public.

that you won’t need to try to come up

with one later on if things end badly.

Have a frank discussion about it before

the wedding.

Being clear about your financial priorities

as a couple will ensure your

marital union starts off on the right

foot. If you need any help, don’t hesitate

to consult a financial planner.

Getting the most of RRSP’s

John Tarnowski, executive vice president

at ATB Financial

A few tips to help you get the most

out of your RRSPs:

1. An RRSP contribution can help

you at tax time.

It’s no secret that getting a few extra

dollars into your RRSP will help you

save on taxes and benefit from taxdeferred

investment

growth.

Contributing to an

RRSP allows you to

deduct the contribution

amount from

your taxable income

which means a

lower tax bill or

higher refund.

Talk to your personal

accountant or

banker to estimate

how much of an

RRSP contribution

will offset any tax

you might owe.

2. Know when to

max out your RRSP

or save room.

Your RRSP can

give you a tax deduction in the short

term but, when you start making withdrawals,

that amount will be added to

your taxable income.

The key is to maximize your RRSP

contributions when you have a higher

tax rate. If you are in a lower tax

bracket, a Tax-Free Savings Account

(TFSA) might make more sense.

If you haven’t contributed right up to

your RRSP limit, you can transfer the

value of your TFSA to your RRSP at a

later date when your taxable income is

higher giving you a bigger bang for

your buck.

3. Consider setting up

pre-authorized

contributions.

Pre-authorized contributions

can help you

grow your retirement

savings rather than a

mad dash at the annual

RRSP deadline.

This automatic withdrawal

transfers a

specified amount of

money from your bank

account into your RRSP

or TFSA.

You can line them up

with your paycheques,

or more frequently if you

want.

It’s the easiest way to

set aside savings and

invest earlier to get the most out of

your RRSP or TFSA.

4. Don’t put all your eggs in one

basket.

It’s a well-known phrase but it is

good advice when it comes to RRSPs.

Having a diversified portfolio—

owning securities, mutual funds or

exchange-traded funds in multiple sectors

of the economy—allows you to

take advantage of market growth

while protecting yourself from

extreme losses during down markets.

Your personal banker or financial

advisor can show you how to diversify

your RRSP portfolio so you are, in

essence, putting your eggs in multiple

baskets.

The goal is to create a portfolio that

helps you reach your financial goals

and withstand short-term volatility

without being tempted to deviate from

your savings plan.

5. It’s never too late to start.

It’s always great to start saving early

but, if you’re closer to 50 and haven’t

started yet, it’s not too late.

Your RRSP enjoys tax-free investment

growth until you turn 71 so you

still have time to save.

If you haven’t been paying into an

RRSP, your contribution room has

been piling up since you got your first

job so a large, lump-sum contribution

is possible if you have the means. It

will also generate a nice tax refund

which you can re-invest for your

retirement and be even further ahead!

Just remember, it’s never too late to

plan for your financial future — just

talk to an advisor to get you started.

Identity theft: prevention, intervention

How many times over the past year

have you entered your name, address,

phone number, email address, birthdate

and other sensitive information

into a sign-up form?

Unfortunately, this information can

be used by fraudsters to usurp your

identity, allowing them to obtain credit

in your name or perform other criminal

acts. Here’s how you can reduce

the risk of identity theft, and what you

should do if it happens to you.

Prevention

While a large proportion of personal

information is leaked through corporate

data breaches, it’s still important

to exercise caution. Here’s how to minimize

your risks:

• Always check your bank and credit

card statements for suspicious activity.

• Only use trusted and protected

websites to make

payment

transactions.

• Don’t use password

auto-fill

features, as these

store all your

passwords in one

place, which could

be disastrous if

someone gains

access to it.

• Shred documents

containing

sensitive information

when you

don’t need them

anymore.

• Never give

sensitive information

(like your

credit card or

social insurance

number) over the

phone or by email.

• Leave your

passport and

social insurance

number at home

unless you absolutely need them.

• Consult your credit report once a

year.

Intervention

If you think you’re the victim of

identity theft, contact the police immediately

and then notify the relevant

governmental authorities, your financial

institution, the credit companies

you have accounts with and any other

organization who could be affected by

the incident.

Additionally, you should ask for

your credit report and close any fraudulent

accounts. You’ll also need to

cancel all unauthorized transactions

individually by contacting the affiliated

creditors directly.

Rebuilding your credit after

someone steals your identity may be

challenging. Some experts recommend

Capital Power makes $1 million donation

Submitted

STARS is another step nearer to

renewing its helicopter fleet, thanks to

a $1 million gift from Capital Power.

In June 2018, STARS unveiled a

multi-year plan to replace its fleet of

BK117 and AW139 aircraft with nine

new medically equipped Airbus H145

helicopters, at a cost of $13 million

each.

One million outfits a helicopter with

the medical interior needed to perform

emergency life-saving procedures.

“The bulk of our aging fleet is no

longer being built and is becoming

costlier to maintain,” said Andrea

Robertson, STARS president and CEO.

“Additionally, independent assessments

of the sustainability of our fleet

told us we needed to move from two

aircraft types to one.”

An extensive review resulted in the

selection of the H145 aircraft as the

best option for STARS’ new fleet.

It offers cutting-edge technology,

advanced safety features, and an

updated version of the medical interior

found in STARS’ existing helicopters.

STARS has been flying missions

with the new H145 aircraft from its

Calgary base since July 2019, thanks to

early support from the Government of

Canada and the Alberta government.

‘Win in spirit’, for

girls basketball

The girls basketball team played

host to the Consort Stingers on Wed.

Jan. 29 and did a great job staying positive

and working hard against the

much more experienced team.

This year, half of the Knight’s bench

is from Grade 5/6, so Coach Ries was

not at all disappointed with the loss to

the Grade 9 heavy opponent.

The girls also played in Brownfield

on Wed. Feb. 5 where they were

defeated.

On Thurs. Feb. 6, the Knights hosted

a mini tournament.

The team was able to take home the

win against Christ King but lost to

Alix.

Both games saw the younger girls

getting lots of playing time.

The Alix team was much more experienced

than the young Knights and

the strong team was able to run up a

pretty big gap before loosening up on

their defence.

This did allow a couple of the

Knights younger players to make their

first baskets of the season, which made

the game a win in spirit even if the

scoreboard didn’t reflect the feeling.

and took home a big score of 70+ points

and the win.

They were able to keep their

momentum going and repeat their 70+

score against the Consort Cobras on

Wed. Jan. 29.

Their coach was happy to see the

team working well together on offence.

The boys hosted a home tournament

on Sat. Feb. 1.

Teams from Gus Wetter and Erskine

joined in on the fun and the Theresetta

gym played host to a great day of

basketball.

The Knights made it to the final

game and lost a tight one, 40-45 to Gus

Wetter.

Theresetta’s new Mindful Monday

Club started on Feb. 3. Mrs. Ries

started the club this year to share her

passion of meditation.

Ten kids showed up to give the club

a try and they had a great time doing

some breathing meditation, learning

about the parts of the brain, and even a

walking meditation.

It was a great way to relax and focus

their energy.

The Theresetta Elementary classes

enjoyed their annual Ski Trip at the

Valley Ski Club on Fri. Feb. 7.

The group was grateful to have

amazing weather and pretty good

snow conditions.

The Grade 1/2 class has been busy

learning about the needs of a community

in their social studies class.

The students had the chance to build

their own communities and had to

plan what to include to meet all needs

of their citizens.

Using ‘habit 3’, begin with the end in

mind, they did a great job planning

what their community needed before

building.

Some of the more creative ideas

included building a lego store, a slime

store and a dinosaur store.

Many groups were sure to add other

important things like farms, hospitals,

grocery stores and houses.

Hughenden Junior girls

basketball team working hard!

by Makenna Lomheim

Hughenden Public School doesn’t

have a big girls’ basketball girls team

this year, but that only means the team

members have to put in their best

every practice and every game.

Thalia Legault, Grade 9 student and

one of only six Junior players, says

that despite the small numbers,

playing basketball helps clear her

mind from stress and all her problems

disappear when she’s focused on the

game.

It makes her feel good about herself.

“It’s like having a second family,”

said Legault.

“We’re doing pretty good, especially

with only six players when other teams

have 10. We only hope for the best!”

Coaching these Junior Wildcats are

Danielle Stankievich and Brooke

Morrison.

Usually it is decided that there

should be one captain for a team but

because this team is so small,

Stankievech and Morrison have

decided to rotate the captaincy to allow

more opportunity to be a leader for

their team.

The purpose of a captain is to lead in

warm-up drills and keep the positive

energy flowing.

Legault feels that her small team

works well with each other overall.

“Most of the time we communicate.

Sometimes we get frustrated at each

other but we are working hard to win.”

Alix waives taxes

Cont’d from Pg 1

Anyone who didn’t get picked can

still ask and pay for testing to be done.

Alix has passed all of their lead

testing in the past but the village does

expect there to be a second phase to

this project once 2021 is over.

Before changes came into effect,

municipalities had to do one test per

year.

Council was also concerned for the

wellbeing of residents so they suggested

even using something as simple

as a Brita filter or point of use filtration

system will help if a resident is

concerned.

Council has chosen to get all 20

homes done within 2020.

Each test is $30 plus a $5 disposal

fee.

At $35, it will cost the village

roughly $700 plus staff time.

A minimum $150 charge is added to

the bill with the current company the

village is using.

This will be covered in their current

budget with an appropriate dollar

amount set aside for next year.

Outstanding taxes waived

The property known as one filled

with asbestos has since been removed

safely.

The process cost the village $92,000,

$62,000 of which was for the asbestos

clearing alone as it was a much more

extensive job than normal.

The home required an individual

wash room and plenty of the old structure

was immersed in asbestos which

required more attention and care.

Since then, the village has been left

with $52,482.13 worth of outstanding

taxes.

The village ‘bought’ the property for

$30,300 at market value which has

been given to a lawyer to be held in

trust pending transfer.

Once the transfer is completed it

covers just under half of the cost of the

remaining $22,502.96.

At this point there is no way of

recovering any costs.

Council passed a motion to waive

the outstanding taxes.

Administration pointed out that “by

clearing some of these properties off

the books, we will be giving a more

accurate representation of the village’s

financial status.

CAO White also mentioned in her

report that the village’s outstanding

taxes have been the lowest they have

seen in over a decade by the end of

2019.

More people have been approaching

the office and are utilizing the Tax

Installment Payment Plan.

Performing Arts request

Cont’d from Pg 5

A delegation, led by Wendy Staal and

representing the Wm E Hay

Fundraising Society made a presentation

to the board seeking a donation to

help upgrade lighting and microphones

at the Performing Arts Centre

(PAC).

To date, $28,418.25 has been raised

which includes $9,000 from the Town

of Stettler and $3,500 from the County

of Stettler.

With the money raised, some LED

lights have been ordered and $9,000

will be spent on microphones.

Approximately $30,000 is still

required.

Trustees were impressed with the

fundraising efforts of the group to date

and their commitment to this valuable

community centre.

Most external

users of PAC are

not-for-profit

community

groups and the

school uses it for

drama classes

and musical

concerts.

PAC started out

as a community

project but ownership

of the

building was

later turned over

to Clearview Schools.

Last year, there was a $40,000 deficit

in the upkeep and maintenance of the

building.

“We don’t know our budget and can’t

make any decisions until we get our

budget allocation”, said Trustee

Smyth, “that is the only money we get

to operate our schools.”

In summary, Chair Greg Hayden

thanked the group and assured the delegation

that the Board was not giving a

definite no.

However, with the expectation of a

$1.5 million reduction in government

funding, the Fundraising Society

would have to look to Clearview’s

expenditures on building maintenance

and operational costs as our donation

at this time.

SPCA charge Delia farmer

Terri Huxley

ECA Review

The Alberta Society for the

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

(SPCA) has charged a Delia cattle

farmer.

They were charged with three

offences under the Animal Protection

Act including: causing an animal to be

in distress; failure to provide an

animal with adequate food and water;

and failure to provide adequate care

for an animal that is wounded or ill.

In early December, the SPCA were

given a public complaint about this

farm so a search warrant was executed

with police presence to keep the peace.

When they arrived they found that

the majority of the 210 animals found

on the property were ‘in distress’ with

the investigators able to move all of

them to a safe location within the

region that the SPCA partners with.

A handful of the animals on site

were found already dead.

The cattle that remained have since

been dispersed at auction.

The proceeds from that would be

used to cover SPCA’s costs for transporting

the cattle, and the vet care and

boarding of them until the sale.

Any proceeds in excess of that would

have been given to the owner.

These charges carry substantial

weight as they can hold up to $20,000

fines and a lifetime ban from owning

animals.

The first court appearance will be

on March 27, 2020 in Drumheller

Provincial Court.

21

Replacing sewer/water mains

Cont’d from Pg 3

Councillors agreed that the budget

was laid out well and full of ‘clarity’.

When taking a closer look, the

breakdown of the 2020 capital budget

includes $2,352,609 in grants alone as

well as $280,000 towards the annual

Sidewalk Replacement Program and

Pavement Patching Program.

On 44 Ave. from the golf course to

the end of the ball diamonds near the

Stettler Recreation Centre will have

miscellaneous sections of standard

curb and gutter removed and/or

replaced, complete base failure repairs

along the curb, mill the existing surface,

tack coat and apply new asphalt.

A total of $950,000 will be used with

a smaller portion coming from

Municipal Sustainability Funding

(MSI) at $53,391.

The Federal Gas Tax (FGT) fund

will foot the majority of the bill at

$600,833.89 plus $295,775.11 from the

Basic Municipal Transportation Grant

(BMGT).

Another large infrastructure

project is the 61 Street Water/Sewer

Replacement in Grandview at a cost of

$546,000 coming from MSI.

The town plans to remove/replace

the existing water line and valves as

well as existing sewer main and services

to the property line.

Hanna Business Hub opens

Submitted

The new Business Hub, located at

203 2nd Avenue West in Hanna, Alta.

has formally opened the doors to the

community.

The Business Hub will be the new

home for two full time staff; Business

Concierge and Office Manager, along

with key business service providers –

Cactus Corridor Economic

Development Corporation, Hanna

Chamber of Commerce, Rural Alberta

Business Centre and Community

Futures Meridian.

The role of the Business Hub is to

provide a one-stop source for new and

existing business owners to seek support

and mentorship, generate new

business opportunities, showcase local

businesses and provide a professional

co-working environment for anyone

seeking productive workspace.

Coal Community Transition

Funding facilitated the Community

Action Team process and it was

through this process, which included a

number of interviews with entrepreneurs

and local business support

agencies, the need for a central location

for Business Services was

identified.

Following identification of this need,

funding for the Business Hub was

secured from Western Economic

Diversification Canada by Hanna

Learning Centre.

By consolidating service organizations

in one collaborative office space,

entrepreneurs will be supported by a

network of experienced team members,

working together to drive

forward business growth and success.

The vision of the Business Hub is to

be the first stop for both new business

inquiries and new community

members in our region,

thereby strengthening the

business ecosystem in

Hanna and the surrounding

region. The Business

Concierge and Office

Manager are working

directly with the service

organizations to provide a

number of exciting networking

and training

events. Continue to watch

for more information on the

Grand Opening planned for

late March.
