ECA Review

Dallas Vert and Natasha Pospisil

of Dryland Agro Services in

Kirriemuir nominated and then won

$15,000 for Altario School’s School of

Excellence Program.

This program centres around

agriculture where students from

inside and outside of the school division

have daily tasks and plenty of

livestock to take care of including

poultry, beef, a cow/calf pair, turkeys

and their most recent addition

of bottle fed lambs donated by

Lakeland College.

They also have a community

garden and will soon work with

Dryland Agro by using 50 acres of

their land for a student learning test

crop in the coming seeding season.

Adama Canada’s Thank a Retailer

community contest is one where top

agriculture retailers across Western

Canada nominate a worthy cause

and collect points.

Dryland Agro was up against

some hefty competitors including

some from Hussar and Drumheller

but they were able to pull ahead by

coming together.

The contest rallying period was

from Jan. 23 until Feb. 17.

On Feb. 19, they were given the

news they had won as well as two

other recipients; Sharpes Crop

Services in Moosomin,

Saskatchewan and Prairie Giants of

Manitoba.

“A small community that has 200

people in it can win against these big

[businesses]. We were up against

some very very large outfits and it

was pretty neat to see how this community

of ours can come together

and do that for us,” said Vert.

Altario School Principal Kevin

Van Lagen says there are two potential

options the students will decide

to spend the money on, a small

tractor or expanding their chicken

operation by purchasing an insulated

structure.

“They are going to research what

they are going to do,” said Van

Lagen. “They will make a motion in

their board of governors and get to

spend the money like they want to.”

Altario school has approximately

60 students from Kindergarten to

Grade 12.

Van Lagen added, “Another group

almost caught us. We went crazy and

emailed everyone we knew to get

playing and we won pretty handily

so that was pretty awesome. We had

people playing from different provinces

and everything for us. Social

media works.”

“It’s all a part of growing the

program.”

CLEARVIEW PUBLIC SCHOOLS

2 M arch 5'20 HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB. ECA REVIEW

Transportation department, a well-oiled operation

Brenda Schimke

ECA Review

Maryann Wingie, Director of

Transportation Services, presented

the transportation

services update to Clearview

Public School Board trustees at

their regular meeting on Feb. 26

in Stettler.

The district has been collecting

and analyzing the length

of bus rides for 18 years and has

been able to consistently meet

the Board’s ride time goals.

Currently high school students

from Byemoor face the

longest rides.

Transportation safety

Wingie expressed her pride in

the transportation staff. For

this reporting year there were

zero accidents and zero convictions

for Clearview bus drivers

and zero out-of-service days for

the maintenance crew.

MELT (mandatory entry level

training for Class 1 and 2

drivers) is proceeding.

Clearview bus drivers get the

53.5 hours of training free and

donate their time.

As one driver stated, “What

they hated most about MELT

was 53.5 hours of training, what

they loved most about MELT

was 53.5 hours of training!”

Transportation budget

Since the fuel price contingency

grant was eliminated in

2014, all school districts have

struggled with insufficient dollars

to run buses and

consequently have used

instructional dollars, surpluses

and other grants to fund the

shortfalls.

Transportation made savings

through route optimization,

removing eligible, but non-rider

students and decreasing bus

maintenance costs through

better communication on road

maintenance with counties.

“We are pleased how quickly

county staff work to address

school district road concerns,”

said Wingie.

A co-operative busing

arrangement was made some

time ago with the local separate

school division, East Central

Alberta Catholic Schools

(ECACS), for schools in the

Town of Castor.

Advantages of cooperative

busing agreements are many—

efficiencies gained in running a

single busing route, best use of

tax dollars, and additional

grants available from the

Alberta Government ($713 per

student).

As budgets tighten, it is hoped

a similar agreement can be

reached within the County of

Stettler.

Many school districts have

already, or will be introducing

student bus fees, to make up for

the grants lost in the fall budget.

Other districts have turned to

private operators.

“Last time Clearview looked

into contracting out busing, our

transportation efficiencies were

such that a private operator was

unable to bid high enough to

make money”, said Wingie.

The idea of the province

coordinating the purchase of

buses to gain bulk purchasing

power was also raised as a

potential cost savings to local

school boards.

Boards meet with

MLA Nate Horner

Trustees Scott and Smyth

reviewed outcomes from a

meeting they had arranged

with Nate Horner, MLA for

Drumheller-Stettler on Feb. 19

in Hanna.

All school boards that are

wholly or partially within the

borders of Horner’s constituency

were invited to attend.

Four did, Golden Hills, Prairie

Land , Prairie Rose and

Clearview.

Horner has asked that after

the budget is released, school

boards provide him with analyses

comparing the old funding

model to the new funding

model.

“He needs facts in hand”, said

Scott, “so when opportunities

arise, he is better able to argue

for and represent the rural

perspective.”

Specific areas discussed were

transportation costs, insurance

on school buildings (which have

skyrocketed) and the necessity

and ability to have flexibility,

autonomy and rural perspective

represented in Caucus.

Village of Big Valley

Community Vision session

Trustee Smyth attended the

Feb. 25 meeting where the draft

community plan was unveiled.

Smyth noted that the school

wasn’t mentioned in the proposed

Village of Big Valley

municipal plan.

“This raises the whole

issue of different levels of

governance needing to advocate

on behalf of each other,”

said Smyth.

Discussion centered

around the Clearview Board

becoming more aware of

community-planned events

and more forthcoming in

offering input into municipal

plans since schools are

valuable assets in

communities.

“From his perspective,

conversation with community

groups is as important

as communication with

parent councils,” said chair

Greg Hayden.

CUPE Agreement

ratified

A two-year agreement

with non-instructional staff

was ratified. It ends on Dec.

31, 2021 and provides no

increases for base compensation

and only small

changes from the previous

agreement.

Castor council tweaks fire chief role

Stu Salkeld

Local Journalism Initiative reporter

ECA Review

Castor town council tweaked the fire

chief’s role and dealt with several other

items at their regular council meeting

Feb. 24.

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)

Christopher Robblee presented a memo

to councillor regarding the fire chief’s

position within the town hierarchy.

Council discusses liability related to fire pits

Robblee noted that currently the

Castor fire chief answers to both town

council and the town manager which

is technically not allowed.

Robblee said it has to be one or the

other, but not both.

Fire pits

Councillors also discussed liability

related to fire pits. They discussed

the issue of someone starting a fire

in a fire pit, then the fire getting

loose and damaging other property.

During discussion, councillors

noted this has happened in the past.

Councillor Kevin McDougall made

a motion to keep the uncontrolled

fire fine at $100, but added to the

bylaw the term “plus additional

costs.”

Councillors approved first reading

of the fire bylaw; Robblee and his

staff will draft it and bring it back to

a future meeting.

Flagstaff County Peace Officer

Skyler Zelinski received his 12-year

Alberta Emergency Services medal

for serving as a peace officer. The

medal presentation was made at the

recent 2020 Alberta Association of

Community Peace Officers (AACPO)

Conference in Lake Louise. From

the left, Terri Miller, President of

the AACPO; Skyler; Tammy Spink,

Manager of the Peace Officer program

General ministry; Curtis Zablocki,

RCMP K Division Commanding Officer;

and Mark Sproule, Vice President of

the AACPO. ECA Review/Submitted

One councillor too many

Robblee presented councillors with

an issue within the Subdivision

Development Appeal Board structure.

It turns out the board is to have only

one town councillor as a member and

actually had two.

He explained the SDAB is intended

to have members at large hear appeals

which explains why only one councillor

sits on the board.

Councillors approved first reading

of the change; the bylaw will be publicly

advertised and then return for

approval at a future meeting.

Bikes for Kids

Councillor McDougall suggested

council look at a Bikes for Kids program

similar to what the RCMP did in

town last year.

This would be a safety-oriented

course and the town could look for

partners to help host it.

Councillors unanimously agreed to

have staff look into a possible Bikes for

Kids program.

Private deliberations

The councillors ended their meeting

with an in-camera session to discuss

two matters.

Castor council debates pros, cons of sea cans

Councillors instruct CAO to look at storage cans in other places

Stu Salkeld


ECA Review

Castor town council decided at their

Feb. 24 regular meeting to examine

how other communities handle sea

cans in residential areas, after a local

resident asked the town to approve

them for storage use.

Councillors read a letter from resident

Lorne Dewart, who stated sea

cans, large, metal storage units nowadays

popular with landowners, have

more benefits than drawbacks.

“I would like to ask Castor town

council to consider amending the Land

Use Bylaw to allow for the discretionary

use of Storage Structures in

Residential Areas specifically Sea

Cans,” stated Dewart’s letter.

“Sea cans can provide landowners

cost effective, excellent storage for a

wide variety of items from the storage

of vehicles and parts, woodworking

materials, motor bikes and ATVs;

almost anything because they provide

a fire safe, weatherproof, rodent-free

dry storage.

They are a great place to store items

that would otherwise be deemed

unsightly.

“They are safe and secure which is

also a major benefit given the

increased break and enter thefts in our

area.

“Sea cans can also be altered to

blend into their surroundings by

painting to match existing buildings,

use of fencing or screens can also be

used so as to make them more aesthetically

pleasing.”

Dewart pointed out he isn’t the only

Castor resident with a sea can in his

yard.

“Currently to my knowledge there

are four to six sea cans located in residential

areas of Castor already. By

allowing discretionary use council can

ensure that all cans are meeting a Sea

Can standard, placed appropriately on

the property and have an approved

Development Permit in place for

them.”

Dewart was correct when he wrote

sea cans are forbidden in residential

areas of Castor; councillors mentioned

this point several times at the meeting.

Dewart also asked council to hold off

on enforcement while they considered

his request.

Chief Administrative Officer

Christopher Robblee noted sea cans

are not allowed in residential

neighbourhoods, but are allowed in

residential estates. They’re also permitted

in zones such as industrial.

Councillors unanimously agreed.

Coun. Lonny Nelner pointed out sea

cans have some special issues associated

with them, such as they meet no

building codes and, since they’re made

of metal, they can seriously inhibit

emergency personnel in the event of a

fire.

Coun. Tony Nichols said he sympathized

with Dewart. “I don’t see where

they’re much of an eyesore,” said

Nichols. He said there are some

garages around Castor that look worse

than a sea can.

“I think we should change the

bylaw,” said Nichols.

Coun. Brenda Wismer disagreed,

noting she felt sea cans look

“unsightly.”

Coun. Nelner said he agreed with

Dewart’s statement the sea cans can be

painted to blend in with the neighbourhood

and guidelines would be needed.

Coun. Rod Zinger said sea cans seem

to have a lot of problems associated

with them, including the ability to

stack them on top of each other.

Mayor Richard Elhard agreed with

Nichols, noting sea cans have been in

town for a long time.

Coun. Kevin McDougall suggested

tabling the issue until Robblee has

time to investigate other jurisdiction’s

handling of sea cans.

Castor council ponders summer student quandary

Stu Salkeld


ECA Review

Town of Castor council found out

during their regular meeting Feb. 24

that questions still remain around

grant funding for summer student

positions.

Councillors heard a report from

Chief Administrative Officer(CAO)

Christopher Robblee that the municipality

requires $30,000 in grant

Questions around summer student grants remain

funding to cover two full or four parttime

summer student positions. If the

town doesn’t receive that much in

funding, then, Robblee said, councillors

will face a decision.

The options facing council over the

funding included full grants, meaning

they receive the $30,000, partial,

meaning they receive part of the

$30,000 but not all of it, none, meaning

the grants weren’t received at all and,

lastly, a tax increase to cover the

summer student funding. It was stated

at the meeting a one per cent tax

increase would be needed to cover the

funding.

Councillors were given a presentation

by staff on what duties summer

students cover, which is considerable.

Summer students work as lifeguards

at the swimming pool, perform upkeep

and maintenance at the ball diamonds,

water plants around town, spray

weeds, paint handicap spaces and

curbs and tree trimming, among many

other duties.

Council may tweak utility billing

Stu Salkeld

Local Journalism

Initiative reporter

ECA Review

Big Valley village council

may tweak the way it handles

utility billing. The issue

was discussed at the Feb. 27

regular meeting of council.

Chief Administrative

Officer (CAO) Sandra Schell

stated councillors noted that

they feel the current system

for dealing with delinquent

utility accounts may not be

the most efficient way.

Currently, bills must pass

a 90-day “unpaid” term,

when they are then transferred

to the property

owner’s tax bill. After

another 90 days pass with

no payment, utilities are

then shut off.

Schell stated councillors

want to examine how other

jurisdictions handle this

issue and that information

will b presented at a future

council meeting.

Delegation

Canadian Northern

BIG VALLEY COUNCIL

representative Rich

Graydon spoke to council

about a couple of items.

Graydon was interested in a

study on possible improvements

to the village’s

roundhouse and the possible

purchase of railroad

property.

Councillors accepted the

presentation for

information.

Traffic bylaw

Councillors examined the

village’s traffic bylaw, which

hasn’t been updated in some

time.

CAO Schell noted it dates

back to 1962.

She stated nothing is particularly

vital but the bylaw

does contain some old information

that’s no longer

applicable.

Councillors made certain

amendments and staff will

bring back the proposed

bylaw to a future council

meeting.

Snow removal

Councillors examined the

Village of Big Valley snow

removal bylaw to see if it needs

updating.

They directed staff to investigate

how other municipalities handle snow

removal and bring that information

back to them at a future meeting.

Improvement

Councillors discussed the

Continuous Improvement workshop.

This program is related to developing

a vision for the future of the

village, especially pertaining to

growth.

This item will be discussed again at

a future meeting.

Village lots

Schell noted councillors discussed

lots owned by the village which are or

could be available for sale.

Councillors were keen to get certain

lots available for sale and ensure the

public is aware of this.

They decided to advertise at least

one lot, leave it open for offers for six

months and get a report back later on

the results.

Transfer to taxes

Councillors agreed to pass unpaid

utility bills onto the landowner tax

roll. When necessary, this is done on a

monthly basis.

Schell wanted to ensure residents

know the village office is always open

for those who are having trouble with

their bills.

Drop by the office and talk to the

staff to develop a plan that benefits

everyone.

Lead testing

The provincial government has

made it mandatory for municipalities

to test water systems for lead levels.

School said the village has developed

a plan to test 10 times this year

through a lottery draw, including both

older areas, pre-1965, and likely some

newer areas. This will give an accurate

picture of the entire village.

All tests will be done this year.

It was noted that if no summer students

are available, town staff will

have to add the seasonal work such as

cutting grass to their regular

workload.

Robblee noted some jobs, like crackfilling

on paved roads, must be

performed as liability is involved; this

means other jobs, such as grass cutting,

could be bumped down the

priority list.

The CAO said the town won’t know

until about May whether grants were

approved, which is frustrating

because the jobs are usually advertised

beginning in March.

He said the report was mostly for

council to keep in mind, as reduced

funding for summer student positions

will mean lower service levels this

summer.

EDITORIAL

Kenney’s got bigger

problems than

Trudeau or Greta

B. Schimke

ECA Review

Alberta is in trouble economically

not because Tech Resources pulled

their application on the Frontier mine

project, but because Premier Kenney

and the Conservative Party of Canada

choose to ignore the reasons given by

the company for pulling their

application.

Tech’s Chief Executive Officer, Don

Lindsay, placed the blame on governments

(federal and provincial), saying,

“Canada doesn’t yet have a clear

framework to

reconcile

“

resource development

and

climate change.”

Businesses do

understand

Canada’s federation

and the

risks of investing

when energy

provinces, the

official opposition

and the

federal government

are at loggerheads over an issue

(climate warming) that has been settled

in the minds of the majority of the

world.

Tech Resources has always been

clear, they needed a partner to share

the financial burden of such a large

project. Whether it’s fair or not, the

huge liability around tailings ponds

and the higher carbon emissions from

oil sands production, dispute the

industry’s continuing reduction of perbarrel

greenhouse gas (GHG), are still

viewed as a risk that global investors

aren’t prepared to take.

The world’s biggest multilateral

lender, the European Investment

Bank, will not invest in fossil energy

projects after 2021, and Norway’s US$1

trillion sovereign wealth fund has

stopped all investments in fossil fuel

industries.

Sweden’s central bank sold off

Government of Alberta bonds because

of our large carbon footprint.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset

manager, has started a fund that

excludes all companies that generate

any revenue from coal or oil sands.

American capital is chasing cheap,

home-grown shale gas plays.

This is today’s reality and it’s not a

left-wing plot or a Greta coup. There

actually are 20 oil sands projects in

Alberta that have received regulatory

approvals. If all went ahead, it would

have the same employment and

An alarm should

be sounding when we

put even more of our

eggs in one economic

basket.

revenue impact on Alberta as the

Frontier mine but much quicker.

It’s a foreign investment issue.

Kenney’s solution, take control of pension

assets and all available capital

dollars in AIMCo, Alberta’s

Investment Management Company,

and invest in fossil fuel projects that

international monies won’t touch.

An alarm should be sounding when

we put even more of our eggs in one

economic basket.

For our own good, Alberta must

turn a corner and stop the hate-on for

former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau

and the National

Energy Program.

“

The 1980s argument

was about

policy jurisdiction

between the

provincial and

federal levels and

who got the lion’s

share of the nonrenewable

revenues.

Alberta won that

debate and we

prospered

greatly.

Today the global debate is about

saving the planet from catastrophic

warming.

Mark Carney, former Governor of

the Banks of England and Canada

said, “firms that align their business

models to the transition to a net zero

(carbon) world will be rewarded handsomely.

Those that fail to adapt will

cease to exist.”

This reality doesn’t discount the

necessity for increased pipeline

capacity. Alberta’s economy and revenues

from traditional fossil fuel

industries are critical to transition

our province into a diversified

economy.

Ironically, it was a Liberal federal

government and a provincial NDP government

that understood this reality

and pulled out all the stops to ensure

the construction of the Trans

Mountain pipeline, even to the point of

investing taxpayer dollars.

We must understand that aggressively

pursuing a transformative

energy and high-tech economy is not

contrary to the current goals (or

actions) of our large oil sands and

energy corporations.

It continues to be Kenney’s inability

to understand the message delivered

by Tech’s CEO Don Lindsay and other

Alberta oil sands CEOs that will eventually

strangle Alberta’s future

prosperity.

PRAIRIEVIEW

Media manipulation

by Herman Schwenk

On Sun. Feb. 9 I was watching CTV’s

Question Period with host Evan

Solomon.

The last interview on the program

was about the Trans Mountain pipeline

and the Teck Resources Frontier

oil sands mine.

He was interviewing Bob Fife and

Pam Palmater an indigenous woman.

It didn’t take long and I was so upset

that I shut the program

off.

This woman stated

that they would conduct

whatever

protests and civil disobedience

that they

felt was necessary to

prevent the completion

of these

pipelines, of course

Schwenk that was no surprise.

Bob Fife was a

CTV reporter and now works for the

Globe and Mail. His first comment was

that he could not see how the government

could approve this mine with all

the environmental issues that it poses.

This mine is a project proposed to

last 40 years just south of Wood

Buffalo Park that would cover an area

about twice the size of Vancouver.

He said that the mining would

destroy wetlands, old growth forest

and would create a problem for the

government to reach its 2050 target of

net zero emissions.

When work is commenced on a

project like that, just a small area is

opened up and mined. When that area

is mined out they move to the next

area and reclamation work is started

on the first area.

In this way, by the time the entire

area is mined out, most of the area will

have already been reclaimed including

the wetlands.

Dear Editor,

I feel compelled to send a brief message

perhaps sometimes controversial comments

made by Herman Schwenk in

his column, PrairieView.

Herman expresses so well the opinions

Castor council looks

at property price

$35k for lot said to be too high

Stu Salkeld

Local Journalism

Initiative reporter

ECA Review

Town of Castor councillors

will lower the price of a lot that

has been described as too

expensive by prospective

buyers. Council discussed the

issue at their Feb. 24 regular

meeting.

Chief Administrative Officer

Christopher Robblee presented

councillors with a report about

a vacant lot that had been taken

by the town in accordance with

the Municipal Government Act

for outstanding taxes.

The CAO noted the parcel of

land has been listed at $35,000;

Cont’d from Pg 6

There would be no environmental

mess a generation after the mining is

complete so what is the problem?

According to what I have read about

this project in the Edmonton Sun, it

would produced half as many emissions

per barrel as the national

average for oil production and will

recycle nearly 90 per cent of the water

used in extraction.

This was a $21 billion project that

would have created about 7,000 jobs,

including highly paid employees from

the 14 Indigenous communities in the

area who completely support the

project.

On Sun. Feb. 23 the Teck Resources

CEO withdrew its application to

develop the mine stating that there

were too many political and environmental

impediments to proceed.

This could have been a very positive

project.

What has got my goat is that the

media seem to almost always interview

people with a negative point of

view on this and almost every issue. It

seems to me that putting a positive

spin on issues like that is against their

journalistic principles.

If journalists like Bob Fife would

take the trouble to study real climate

science they

would find out

that Canada has

already reached

its 2050 emission

target because

our forests

absorb more

carbon than

Canada

produces.

The government

has finally

convinced the

police to dismantle

the CN

blockade at

Bellville, Ont.

While other

blockades have

been removed

across the

country there are

more being

erected in support

of the

Hereditary

Chiefs from

Wet’suwet’en.

he noted the town must follow

the rules in the Municipal

Government Act (MGA) for

selling land, such as getting a

market value appraisal and

selling the property only for

market value.

Also, any revenue over and

above what is owed to the taxpayers

is returned to the

original owner.

However, feedback to the

town from local real estate

agents has been that the market

for that parcel has dropped, and

it’s not valued at $35,000.

Robblee confirmed some

people contacted the town about

the parcel but all offers were

well below $35,000.

Robblee noted real estate

Dangerous precedent

There is still no leadership from the

government to put a stop to this

nonsense.

Again the national media are accommodating

this illegal movement to

persist by giving them free positive

airtime.

While they may have an obligation

to report the activity, they should at

the same time be condemning the

entire process.

What is going on is against the law

regardless what the Hereditary Chiefs

say.

If the government allows these

people to shut down the Coastal Gas

Link natural gas pipeline there will

never again be any natural resource

infrastructure built in Canada.

That would be the beginning of

Canada becoming a third world

country!

It appears to me that much of the

national media are in favour of the

hydrocarbon industry being shutdown

even if it destroys the national

economy.

The national media are accommodating

government inaction and that is

creating a dangerous precedent.

agent expertise can’t be the

basis for the parcel’s price; it

has to be based on an appraisal.

The latest appraisal of the

property was for $25,000, and

Robblee noted the town must get

at least $26,000 to square the

debt of taxes owed to the Town

of Castor.

Councillor Brenda Wilmer

stated she would be in support

of spreading the town’s real

estate business around a bit so

that each real estate business

gets a chance.

Councillor Rod Zinger made a

motion to reduce the asking

price on said property from

$35,000 to $30,000, which was

unanimously passed.

Talking about

social justice issues

by K. Smawley

The Grade 3/4 class has been talking

about social justice issues in their class

with Mrs. Ries over the past few weeks.

In response to all of the things they

have been discussing, the class has

run two fundraisers recently as a way

to help out some social causes.

On the same topic, they had Lynn

Cole from

Brownfield

“

come in to talk

about a recent

trip she took to

Uganda.

She explained

to the class what

she encountered

and how life is

very different

from what the

students are

used to in

Canada.

She told the

students about the extreme poverty

people experience there, how many of

them only have access to one meal of

rice a day, and how they do not have

easy access to water, like we do.

The students chose to take this cause

on as their next social justice project

and want to raise money to help the

people of Uganda as much as they can.

After learning all about multiple

social causes, the class held their first

RCMP Commander

sees housing situation

in Castor a problem

Cpl. Chad Salmi says Castor homes

tough to come by for RCMP members

Stu Salkeld


ECA Review

The Consort RCMP detachment is

trying its best to get members into

local communities, but the NCO says

homes aren’t always easy to come by.

Consort acting commander Cpl.

Chad Salmi spoke to Castor town

council at their regular meeting Feb.

24. Salmi is also acting commander of

the Coronation detachment area,

which includes Castor.

Salmi said the RCMP are currently

in financial planning mode for the

next fiscal year and wanted to gather

input from communities on priorities

for policing and also hear community

concerns.

He said the RCMP’s goals include

reducing crime but also include

enhancing public confidence and

engagement, goals which can be

reached in a variety of ways: coffee

breaks with the RCMP, council meetings

or simply talking with residents

on the street.

Salmi noted the RCMP know that

rural crime is a concern. However, he

said he wanted to hear directly from

councillors about local issues.

Coun. Trudy Kilner said police visibility

is important. “We don’t see them

around here enough.”

The corporal said the RCMP are

looking at having members live in

Castor, but housing is always a

concern.

It seems there is always property for

sale, but rental properties are usually

more in demand with newer or

younger Mounties.

Salmi said an RCMP member

recently had trouble finding a home in

Coronation and the rental market in

Castor is also tight. He stated that if

the rental market was better, he suspects

members would be attracted to

Castor because, for example, it’s closer

to Stettler and Red Deer.

It was noted that the RCMP likes to

lease property, as the landowner

remains responsible for maintenance.

Mayor Richard Elhard said that as

far as crime or safety concerns,

speeding is always on the list, as are

stop sign infractions. Elhard said it

seems people treat stop signs as

optional.

Coun. Tony Nichols agreed speeding

is a concern in Castor.

The mayor elaborated saying: 50th

Street “is kind of a race track,” and

Castor residents also have to deal with

stunting on icy roads.

Coun. Lonny Nelner said every year

council hears complaints from residents

who are concerned about

speeding and stunting.

The subject of RCMP funding was

mentioned. Salmi said it appears there

may be increased funding for the

RCMP, but whether the Castor region

sees another member is not known.

Salmi noted the average cost for an

RCMP constable and patrol car is

about $160,000.

Coun. Nichols echoed the concern

that he would like the RCMP to be

more visible in the Castor community.

Councillors accepted Salmi’s presentation

as information.

THERESETTA SPORTS

Exhibition games

keep teams busy

by K. Smawley

Theresetta basketball

teams are on the countdown

to Clearview & Region

Athletics (CARA) and

Central Western Alberta Jr.

High Athletics Association

(CWAJHAA) tournaments.

League games have

wrapped up and the teams

have been keeping busy

playing exhibition games

over the past few weeks.

The girls travelled to

Brownfield on Feb. 19 for an

exhibition game and

although they lost, it was an

exciting game because at the

end they could officially say

that everyone on the team

has scored at least one

basket this season. With so

many new Grade 5 players

on the team this year, getting

everyone a basket was a

team goal.

The girls hosted Donalda

on Feb. 25 for another exhibition

game and though they

played hard, they lost. It was

a close game though, and

the older girls on the team

showed their leadership

skills.

The coaches of the team

have mentioned numerous

times throughout the season

that they are proud of the

positive attitude and level of

encouragement the older

players have displayed in

every game.

The boys travelled to

Erskine on Sat. Feb. 8 for a

one day tournament. They

started the day by playing

the Grade 9 Stettler team.

They played well but lost the

game before going on to win

against Coronation.

That put the boys second

in their pool so they got to

play for the bronze medal

and third place. They were

up against a team from

Trochu and after a close

back and forth battle, the

Theresetta Knights came

home with the third place

win. Well done boys!

The boys team played an

exhibition game against Gus

Wetter on Feb. 19. The

Knights lost the game, but it

is always a learning experience

to play against an older,

more experienced team.

The boy’s team travelled

to Stettler on Feb. 26 to take

on the Stettler B team for an

exhibition game.

Coach Finkbiner took

only the young players this

time for some extra experience

for them and they had a

good time testing out all

their skills during some

longer shifts.

Curling team successes

The Theresetta curling

teams had a great day in

Stettler at CARA. They had

two teams entered and both

teams had strong showings

in their round robin play,

both winning two of their

three games which took

them to the quarterfinals.

After a hard quarterfinal,

one team lost out to last

year’s, and eventually this

year’s, CARA champions

from Erskine. The team is

made up of all Grade 7’s, so

they are looking forward to

many more curling seasons

together.

The other Theresetta

team won their quarterfinal,

then played the

Erskine future champs in

the semifinal, losing by one

point.

From there, the team

advanced to the bronze final

against a Gus Wetter team.

They played well but ended

up taking home fourth

place.

It didn’t feel like a loss

though, the curlers made so

many great shots

throughout the day, it was a

great experience.

It was a very long day for

this team as they played 24

ends, and had four games

back to back to finish the

day.

Not end-of-season

finale it once was

Cont’d from Pg 14

Jacobs and Kennedy

form a formidable back

end, and the Brush

Brothers — E.J. and Ryan

Harnden — have few peers

at the front end. The addition

of Kennedy has helped

vault Jacobs’ crew to three

Grand Slam victories in

four events this season.

Those three victories

make Jacobs a big favourite

at Kingston this week,

but the other main contenders

forming the cream

of the curling crop in

Canada — rinks skipped

by Kevin Koe, Brendan

Bottcher, Brad Gushue,

John Epping, Matt

Dunstone, Jason

Gunnlaugson, Jim Cotter

and either Mike McEwen

or Glenn Howard (one of

whom will be the wildcard

qualifier) won’t make it

easy on the Sault Ste.

Marie team.

The Brier is still a big

deal, but it’s not the end-ofseason

finale it once was.

There are still two Grand

Slam events to go, as well

as the world championships,

but the winner this

week in Kingston will

breathe a huge sigh of relief

that it gets to spend a week

in chilly Saskatoon in

December, 2021.

HPS archery aiming for victory!

by Frances Coral

Since September,

Hughenden Public School

(HPS) has been spiking and

three-pointing their way

through championships.

But now, HPS is ready to

pick up the bows and

arrows.

Archery season has officially

begun.

Last Wednesday, students

from elementary to high

school had the targets set up

for their first practice.

Twenty-eight students

had signed up for the team,

with the school principal

Mr. Ryan Duffett as their

coach.

They will continue to

practice until the tournament

day comes, which is on

March 14 in Edmonton.

Thirteen students are

confirmed as going to the

competition and probably

more will join.

Disconnect Challenge

Cont’d from Pg 8

Some students and staff chose to

participate in a Disconnect Challenge

throughout the month of February.

Starting on Feb. 10, participants

logged how much screen time they

used for the whole week. On Feb. 17,

they disconnected and found non-electronic

focussed ways to occupy their

time.

Fifty people took on the challenge,

including student’s family members,

and they recorded their experiences

during the “technology fast”.

It was interesting to hear how

everyone felt throughout the challenge,

how they chose to spend their

extra time, and what their personal

thoughts were on the experience.

The goal of the challenge was to help

find a balance, and to better understand

the use of technology, within

their lives.

Students who participated enjoyed a

hot dog roast on Feb. 21, to celebrate

the end of their fasting.

Shrove Tuesday

The Grade 1/2 class presented to the

whole school about Shrove Tuesday on

Feb. 25, also fondly known as Pancake

Day around the world.

Shrove Tuesday is an important day

in the Christian calendar, as it marks

the day before the beginning of Lent.

Pancakes are commonly eaten on

this day to use up ingredients like

eggs, milk, and butter before the

season of Lent begins and people

sometimes give up rich things like

these while fasting.

Ash Wednesday

On the following day, the school participated

in an Ash Wednesday liturgy,

where they all received ashes on their

foreheads to represent the beginning

of Lent.

The beginning of Lent is also a very

important time in the Church and the

act of having ashes put on your forehead

is a sign of repentance.

Students and staff are now

observing Lent for the next 40 days,

not counting Sundays, and some chose

to give up something for this period in

the same manner that Jesus fasted for

40 days before starting his ministry.

Different and unique

The Kindergarten class has been

learning in religion class about how

they are all made different and all

have unique talents. They spent many

days talking about what those special

talents are and practicing their favourite

one, before performing them for

parents at a Talent Show on Feb. 27.

Dress-up theme days

There were three dress-up theme

days during the month of February.

First, 70’s Day was a fun Spirit Day

organized by the Theresetta Student’s

Union on Feb. 19. The next dress-up

day was Pink Shirt Day on Feb. 28 to

stand up to the bullies by making the

statement that they stood with their

classmate, but also make sure

everyone knew that bullying would

not be accepted.

The third dress-up day was wearing

stripes for Rare Disease Day on Feb.

28. Theresetta participated in this day,

along with many in Castor, to show

awareness for the many people in our

world, and those specifically in our

community, who are living with rare

diseases.

Duffett is teaching them techniques

to improve their marksman skills.

For example, they use cards as the

main target instead of the bullseye

point.

This helps with control of their

aiming and shooting.

Compared to volleyball and basketball,

where athletes get to run and

jump, archery isn’t a very active sport.

But according to Duffett, this sport is

still beneficial.

“Students get to practice focus and

discipline in a fun setting,” he said. “In

our area where we rely on hunting, students

get the opportunity to learn at a

young age and they can transfer skills

for hunting when they’re older.”

Grade 7 student Declan Lawrason

agrees that the sport has his attention.

“This is my second year; there’s

never a dull moment in archery,” said

Lawrason.
