State of emergency at Swalwell

following train, B-train collision

Terri Huxley

ECA Review

Swalwell residents were evacuated

from the Kneehill County hamlet in

the afternoon of March 9 after a

B-train hauling propane collided with

a passing train.

The railroad crossing located along

Railway Avenue in the hamlet of

Swalwell, Range Road 302 was closed

off and people were directed to Three

Hills for their temporary sanctuary

while crews continued to assess and

contain the scene.

At 2:47 p.m. the call was put in and

Three Hills RCMP and Fire emergency

services responded.

Firefighters approached all 58 homes

within the area to alert them of the

evacuation as the truck had been

leaking fluid.

No dangerous goods were reported

to be on the train. No injuries have

been reported either.

Crews remained on scene overnight,

working to contain the incident.

As of 3 a.m. on Tues. March 10, the

train involved in the incident was

cleared from the scene.

One of the impacted propane vessels

has been repaired, the product has

been offloaded, and is now awaiting

transportation. The remaining

propane vessel was uprighted on

Tuesday morning and reassessed for

potential risks.

“Safety is of the utmost importance

for our residents and the first

responders working tirelessly to contain

the scene. We’re working closely

with CN Police, RCMP and local Fire

Departments to mitigate the potential

hazard,” said Kneehill County Reeve,

Jerry Wittstock.

Evacuees were stationed at the

Reception Centre located at the Prairie

Bible Institute cafeteria in Three Hills

which remained open throughout the

day for displaced residents.

Seven Stettler

physicians

‘revoke ER

services’

Stu Salkeld

Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

ECA Review

Stettler and area residents going to

the local healthcare centre’s emergency

room may see some unfamiliar

faces there.

As antagonism between the Alberta

government and doctors continues,

physicians at two Stettler clinics confirmed

most of them will no longer

work in the local ER.

A social media message circulating

the week of Mar. 2 included a Twitter

quote from Stettler physician JB

Lombaard, stating “Financially and

personally, I had to make a decision on

whether it was still viable to me.”

Lombaard was referring to providing

ER services.

The message also contained a statement

that six out of 10 Stettler

physicians were joining Lombaard,

who works at the Stettler Medical

Clinic.

Efforts to contact Dr. Lombaard by

deadline were unsuccessful.

ECA Review

As trouble brews for the provincial

government over its latest budget, the

mayor of the Town of Stettler, along

with the local MLA, recently met with

physicians to hear grievances.

During the regular meeting of

Stettler town council Mar. 3, Mayor

Sean Nolls reported on a meeting he

had in February with Drumheller-

Stettler MLA Nate Horner and a group

of Stettler-area physicians.

The provincial government was

recently in mediation with physicians

over fees and pay; the mediation effectively

ended in a stalemate, so the

provincial government nullified a

long-standing guiding agreement with

physicians and announced it will

introduce new rules on Apr. 1.

There have been comments back and

forth from both sides in both traditional

media and social media.

Cont’d from Pg 1

Contacted Mar. 6, the Heartland

Medical Clinic, Stettler’s other medical

clinic, confirmed through a

spokesperson who preferred to remain

anonymous that seven of 10 Stettler

physicians were revoking emergency

room services at this time.

“They’ve put in their resignations

for that,” the spokesperson said by

phone.

The ECA Review contacted Alberta

Health Services Mar. 9 to confirm the

cancellations and effect these will

have on the local hospital’s ER.

In an email, Allan Sinclair, senior

operating officer Central Zone –

Stettler mayor, MLA meet with physicians

Mayor Nolls said the physicians

weren’t very happy with the way

things have ended up.

“Needless to say, they’re fairly

upset,” said Nolls.

Nolls said when the physicians, he

and Horner met the physicians stated

they were unhappy with comments the

Minister of Health Tyler Shandro

made over social media platform

Twitter; some government Twitter

comments appeared to take sides in

the dispute, criticizing the way doctors

bill their patients.

The mayor said the physicians told

him that they don’t feel comments out

in social media like that are

acceptable.

Nolls, himself a businessman, said

“You can’t treat staff like that.”

Nolls said Horner promised to keep

him informed about this issue. The

mayor finished his report by saying

this is a very complicated issue that all

Albertans need to keep an eye on.

have prompted some physicians at the

Stettler Hospital and Care Centre to

serve notice that they are giving up

their privileges in the Emergency

Department.

“The privileges are connected to the

Emergency Department only and do

“We understand this has caused

some concern in the community.

“We are putting strategies in place

to ensure patients continue to receive

several RCMP Detachments including

Vegreville, Viking and Killam

attempted to contain the vehicle.

According to an ASIRT press

release, the suspect vehicle was identified,

and when RCMP attempted to

contain it, it drove away at a high rate

of speed.

Additional RCMP vehicles entered

the area near Chipman, Alta. and had

intermittent contact with the suspect

vehicle, which continued travelling at

excessive speeds.

At a location near Chipman, the suspect

vehicle turned south on Range

Road 184, where a bridge was under

repair, and collided with concrete barricades

on the roadway.

The vehicle was badly damaged and

the two male occupants were trapped

inside.

The local fire department and EMS

responded and extracted the two

males from the vehicle.

A 37-year-old male was transported

by STARS air ambulance to hospital

in Edmonton.

A 40-year-old male was transported

by ground ambulance to the same

hospital.

Both males were listed in critical

condition with various injuries.

ASIRT’s investigation will focus on

the actions of police during this incident,

while the RCMP will maintain

responsibility for the investigation

into the circumstances that led up to

the incident, as well as the occupants

of the vehicle.

The RCMP will continue to investigate

the events leading up to the

collision.

ALERT seizes drugs,

stolen property

Warrants have been issued for two

suspected drug dealers after ALERT

seized drugs, a firearm, and stolen

property from a home in Three Hills,

Alta.

Victor Foley, a 34-year-old man, and

Jamie Ryan, a 36-year-old woman, are

wanted by ALERT, Red Deer’s organized

crime and gang team, for their

alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

Both suspects are from Three

Hills, Alta.

Foley and Ryan were the subject of

an ALERT drug trafficking investigation

that began earlier this year.

On Feb. 26, 2020, their Three Hills

home was searched. One person was

arrested at the time: Krista Rix, a

36-year-old woman from Cochrane,

Alta.

secure temporary physicians to assist

with coverage. And, in the event that

it’s needed, we will redirect patients to

nearby sites in the area, with EMS

prepared to transport patients as

required.

“Physicians are critical to the

healthcare system. AHS is committed

to working with them to ensure

Albertans receive timely and appropriate

access to safe, high quality,

patient care,” added Sinclair.

A request for comment was left with

Drumheller-Stettler MLA Nate

Horner at his local office Mar. 6 and

his Edmonton office Mar. 9 but the

ECA Review didn’t hear from him by

deadline.

After searching the home, with the

help of the RCMP, investigators seized

drugs three stolen vehicles and stolen

property, including stolen identification;

and one rifle.

All three suspects face various

charges related to drugs, firearms,

and possession of stolen property.

CSC seizes $139,000

worth of contraband

A package containing contraband

was seized on the grounds of the

medium security unit at Drumheller

Institution on March 2, 2020.

The contraband seized included

crystal methamphetamine, THC concentrate

and two cell phones.

The total estimated institutional

value of this seizure is $139,000.

The police have been notified and

the institution is investigating.

The Correctional Service of Canada

(CSC) uses a number of tools to prevent

drugs from entering its

institutions.

These tools include ion scanners

and drug-detector dogs to search

buildings, personal property, inmates

and visitors.

CSC is heightening measures to prevent

by March 20.

ECA Review/Submitted

Three Hills native

creates Hair 4 Hope

cancer campaign

Terri Huxley

ECA Review

Essie Watt of Three Hills,

Alta., has taken it upon herself

to collect $500,000 for

cancer research. She has

raised $1,400 so far.

After losing loved ones to

cancer from an early age,

she was determined to make

a difference.

“I was inspired to pursue

this goal when a loved one of

mine became sick with

brain cancer after having

previously beaten breast

cancer,” said Watt.

“Another girl I know,

seven years old, has lost her

leg and hair to cancer. Even

though cancer is all around

us I don’t see many people

my age taking a proactive

approach to their healthcare

or pouring into cancer

research.”

The campaign launched

January 20 and will end on

March 20 through the Terry

Fox Foundation.

“I started doing some

research of my own and

decided I wanted to raise

awareness and encourage

other people to take cancer

seriously. On a side note, it’s

just silly how much money

we pour into things that

hurt us versus research that

will potentially save our

lives.”

She came up with the half

a million dollar figure as

she realized the audience

she could tap into in Calgary

alone was quite expansive.

Despite this, Watt has

found donations hard to

come by as she found people

can have a hard time

parting with their hard

earned cash.

Even if the campaign

doesn’t go as planned she

said, “I definitely want to

continue pouring into

cancer research and encouraging

proactive healthcare.

This was a solid first

attempt and I learnt a lot.”

Over three weeks ago, the

22-year-old cut her hair

which was then donated as

well.

“It feels amazing! It’s bold

and so low maintenance –

except the whole world is

windy, the fridge is arctic,

and I bump my head a lot

more than I realized before,”

she joked.

The first time she ever

donated her long locks was

when she was nine.

FORESTBURG COUNCIL

Community able to access GIS mapping information

Terri Huxley

ECA Review

Council went into their

Committee of the Whole

(COW) meeting before

entering their regular

meeting on Thurs. March 5.

Council was introduced to

Munisight Flagstaff

Regional, a website coded

with Geographic

Information System (GIS)

mapping used to help

administrators, councillors

and residents within

Flagstaff County about

important details within

their community.

This system tracks complaints

and finds complaint

hotspots which will only be

accessible to town administration

and councillors but

anyone is allowed to access

the program as a guest

where they can see a visual overview

of their community from a bird’s eye

view perspective.

When clicking on a specific home, it

can show how much that resident pays

in residential taxes on average as well

as other information like development

permits and land titles.

No one will be able to see how much

that resident currently owes or does

not owe for utilities and taxes.

Something as simple as a fire

hydrant can be checked on.

Administration can view it and see

how old the hydrant is, when it was

installed, etc. as well as track all capital

asset information when needed at

a click of a button.

Council was encouraged to ‘play

and look at it’ to get a feel for how the

program works and how it may be

helpful in the future when helping

residents.

Incentives for lot sales

The Town of Forestburg hopes to

attract new and already interested

buyers into the area by having two different

discount weeks for residential

lots.

From March 16 - 27, buyers can see a

15 per cent drop in lots purchased

within that time frame while March 28

to April 3 will have a 10 per cent reduction

in price.

One person has already voiced

interest in purchasing the land for

house development.

This promotion runs in conjunction

with the realtors who currently hold

the listing and would be promoted in

Camrose and within the region.

Emergency Draft agreement

Council hit the highlights of the

Flagstaff Regional Emergency Draft

Agreement, noting several issues and

inconsistencies within the fine print.

This is a terrible contract, I’ve done

thousands,” said Coun. Fossen as she

sifted through her copy of the pages

filled with notes and highlights.

“Everything that comes up you will

be hiring a lawyer for.”

Council came up with a few suggestions

as well as clarity from Chief

Administrative Officer (CAO) Debra

Moffat when it came to some of the

clauses.

Comments are asked to be given

back by March 31 so council made a

motion to table the discussion to the

next meeting to allow more time to go

over the document.

FRACCA Grant denied

The Heisler Archery Club submitted

an application for a Forestburg

Recreation, Arts and Culture Grant

(FRACCA), requesting a grant in the

amount of $3,000.

Unfortunately, the application did

not meet three requirements including

the fact they are not based within the

“I think it’s really hard to

“We could give

First time Coronation pageant contestant

gains queen title, trip to Toronto

Terri Huxley

ECA Review

Miss East Central Alberta

is making her way to

Toronto for nationals after

competing in only one debut

pageant.

Vanessa Kuziw received

the title as well as placing

third overall after a

weekend in Calgary at the

Miss World Alberta pageant

from Feb. 28 - 29.

“I’m loving it, it’s so much

fun and the people there are

amazing and they stuff so

much in one weekend it feels

like it was a week. It was just

so amazing,” said Kuziw.

Kuziw graduated from

Coronation School in 2018,

then went to Lakeland

College for a veterinary

medical assistant

certification.

She currently works at the

Stettler Veterinary Clinic.

Kuziw, alongside many

others from across the province,

were judged on their

gown outfit, little black

dress and swimwear as well

as performing a number. In

her case a grand march.

Aside from the outer

appearance, judges asked

contestants about their own

morals, values, personality

and what they stand for.

“It’s more based on your

personality so who you are,

what you could do for

Alberta, why you should be

the face of Alberta and all

that and just you overall.

“So they ask a lot of personal

questions in the

interviews and then you are

judged on how well you can

basically hold yourself and

how confident you are,” she

explained.

Five titles are chosen from

the Alberta competition.

Kuziw holds the fifth position

for raising the most

funds for the charity of

choice, Make-A-Wish

Foundation and the Cardiac

Kids while placing third

overall.

The 19-year-old found a

post on Facebook about the

competition and felt pageants

would be a good way

to get into something modelling-related

while putting

her energy as well as make

the world a better place

through volunteerism.

“Modelling I kinda

thought was always self centred,

it’s not at all but I got

the appeal from it that you

just stand there and take

pictures so the pageant

appealed to me more

because it’s based on who

you are, where you come

from, how well you can hold

your self, it’s not just a pic-

ture,” said Kuziw.

Kuziw has felt nothing but support

from entering the competition so far.

“Everybody is so kind. Like I didn’t

have to worry about what was going

on, the previous pageant mums were

so helping and willing. It’s not like on

TV where they are just looking out for

their daughters and themselves, no,

they are looking out for everybody,”

said Kuziw.

Kuziw will be headed to Toronto in

mid July for the Miss World Canada

competition.

It will take place over the course of

five days where the Coronation local

will take part in a fashion show, photo

shoot and speeches as well

as other events.

If she were to advance

from there, the Miss World

Universe competition is in

her grasp.

Vanessa Kuziw of Coronation, Alta. walks the stage in her formal gown

during the Miss World Alberta competition in Calgary on Feb. 29. The

Coronation local was judged on three events and since she qualified

for Nationals, she will be travelling to Toronto later this year.

BASHAW COUNCIL

Funding grated

same as last year

Stu Salkeld

Local Journalism Initiative

Reporter

ECA Review

The Town of Bashaw

approved funding from Family

and Community Support

Services accounts among several

other important decisions

at their regular council meeting

Mar. 5.

Chief Administrative Officer

(CAO) Theresa Fuller noted the

provincial government committed

their share of $24,554 to

Bashaw’s FCSS programs.

The town’s share adds up to

$6,139, which could be increased

based on council’s prerogative.

Coun. Rosella Peterman

stated she was in favour of

leaving funding at last year’s

numbers.

Camrose County also contributes

just over $30,000.

The Bashaw Youth

Foundation (BYF) requested

$22,695 for 2020, while the

Bashaw & District Support

Services (BDSS) requested

$45,829.02. Fuller noted both

organizations provided their

budget information.

Councillors eventually

decided to provide the two organizations

with the same funding

they received in 2019, BYF with

$15,000 and BDSS with

$45,829.02.

Zamboni offer

The Town of Bashaw isn’t

going to give up on trying to get

some revenue from their old

Zamboni.

Councillors made the decision

at their regular meeting

Mar. 5.

CAO Fuller presented council

with a report on efforts to sell

the old Zamboni. Fuller stated

the old Zamboni went to tender,

but the town didn’t receive any

offers.

As it turns out, an individual

approached the town with an

offer of $100 for the Zamboni

and blades; she noted the individual

is not a resident of

Bashaw.

Fuller told councillors the

town hasn’t tried any other avenues

to sell the vehicle,

although there are a few

options.

Speed limits questioned

Terri Huxley

ECA Review

Youngstown School Parent Council

requested to Alberta Transportation

the Highway 9 speed limit through the

village drop to 80 km/h.

Council discussed the findings at

their March 2 meeting.

Two representatives from the ministry

gave a presentation explaining

how lowering the speed limit through

Youngstown was not feasible, even

with a school directly along the popular

corridor.

They talked about adding some

additional signage on the highway

instead to warn drivers of the school’s

presence.

In the presentation, it was mentioned

that the

community of

Jenner was

having problems

with their school

zone as it drops

from 100km/h to

50km/h when

driving by but

will soon be

increased to

70km/h ‘because

it is causing too

many problems,”

said CAO

Garlock.

CAO Garlock

towards fixing

the current pavement

Bus drivers in particular are concerned

about the road’s condition as

they fear the potholes and other issues

are severe enough to be potentially

dangerous to all occupants on board.

A letter to Prairie Land Regional

how truly concerned the

An advertisement could be

posted with details of the

Zamboni and with an asking

price of $500 to $1,000.

She stated trying to sell the

Zamboni at an auction was

another option.

Also, the town could look into

selling the Zamboni for scrap

metal.

Coun. Rosella Peterman

asked if it was possible to contact

at least one scarp dealer

and get an estimate on what the

Zamboni was worth.

“When they’re stealing hair

dryers out of Starbucks, there’s

got to be more metal (in a

Zamboni),” she said. Mayor

Penny Shantz agreed.

Fuller stated town staff can

look into that. Staff noted at the

meeting the Zamboni weighs

about 6,000 pounds and the old

Zamboni does technically run,

but it’s a bit obsolete and they’re

not sure how well it runs.

Councillors unanimously

agreed to have town staff contact

a scrap dealer for a quote

and list the Zamboni on line and

report back at a future meeting.

EDITORIAL

The only thing

holding us back

is mindset

B. Schimke

ECA Review

In 2016, long-time newspaper publisher

in Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.),

Paul MacNeil, organized Georgetown

2.0 and wanted a strong speaker to

push business and community leaders

outside their comfort zone—local

author and consultant, Doug Griffiths

became that speaker and his book

“Thirteen Ways to Kill Your

Community”, became their

inspiration.

In the last four years, P.E.I. has led

the country in economic growth and

the Conference Board of Canada said it

will continue to outpace all other provinces

in terms of GDP and population

growth in 2020.

The issues

facing P.E.I.

“

Two factions spend

all their time and energy

on negative gossip and

have nothing left to

advance their

community.

included a

shrinking and

aging population,

the

economic ups

and downs of

fishing, farming

and tourism, and

rising discomfort

as

neighbouring

communities

were being

forced to negotiate shared governance

and services as provincial budgets

shrunk.

East Central Alberta 2020 looks

eerily similar to P.E.I. 2015. Our

municipalities are being disproportionately

hurt by provincial budget

cuts, oil fields have matured and agriculture

has great opportunities but

many uncontrollable challenges.

Cooperative governance and service

delivery, or even amalgamation of

counties and towns, may be on the provincial

agenda to further cut

administration costs.

Griffiths argues our municipal

boundaries drawn a 100 years ago do

not reflect today’s connected world and

too often function as little fiefdoms of

power competing with each other

rather than uniting to take on the

world.

In this newspaper we read how the

community of Morrin is tearing itself

apart as two factions spend all their

time and energy on negative gossip

(often based on incorrect or made up

information), and have nothing left to

advance their community.

We saw some positive hope when

Clearview School Board took the

initiative, on an informal basis, to

bring together the six school boards in

the Battle River riding and commit to

work with MLA Nate Horner by providing

facts and analyses on the effects

of budget cuts to local schools.

On a micro level we saw a group of

volunteers from Wm. E. Hay

Fundraising Society run from county

to town to school board in Stettler

seeking donations for the community

Stettler Performing Arts Centre.

During their presentation at

Clearview they said the town would

give more, depending upon what

Clearview gave. This is not a criticism

specifically of the Town of Stettler, this

is the reality that reporters hear often

as we attend county and town meetings.

It’s a well ingrained way of

thinking about

the small ‘me’,

not the large ‘we’.

Hanna is going

through a transformation

with

their coal power

plant being

repurposed to

natural gas. The

leaders of the

community

could have said

“woe is me, my

world is ruined”.

They could have become bitter, backward

thinking and died on the vine

like so many coal mine towns in the

U.S. But they chose to become a

Sparwood or Kimberly, B.C., towns

that took mine closings in stride, with

much gnashing of teeth, and looked for

other attributes in their regions to promote

growth and stability.

Hanna hired Doug Griffiths and

chose to do something rather than

nothing. “Look forward, not backward,”

said Griffiths at a community

forum on November 28, “The only

thing holding you guys back is mind

set”. Hanna and region have embraced

the future.

P.E.I. turned their fortunes around

by embracing international

migrants—a group of highly motivated

displaced persons with education and

drive, willing to work hard and take

entrepreneurial risks. The population

growth consequently resulted in

strong growth in construction and elevated

demand for P.E.I. products,

boosting exports and manufacturing.

Yes, it takes hard work, but for P.E.I.

and Hanna, mindset change was the

first and most important starting

point.

MAIL BAG

March madness

Dear Editor,

It looks like we have to critique the

last two vague routes proposed by

ATCO/AltaLink for the CETO project.

Once again, they want your input

regarding their route proposals.

Interestingly, after the two previous

rounds of consultations, specific

details pertaining to the two routes

which have been selected to present to

the AUC, are not clear.

Both of the proposed routes have

included sub routes, rather than the

clear routing everyone was expecting.

Confuse and divide in order to

conquer.

Adding to the frustration of this

CETO Project application is the fact

there has been no concrete construction

on any renewable energy project

to support this

application.

Capital Power

has received a

time extension

on their proposed

Halkirk 2 project.

ATCO/

AltaLink have

stated the pace of

construction is

related to the

pace of development

of

renewable projects.

“

The least invasive

route is to construct the

transmission line on

public right-of-way’s not

across landowner’s

property.

This begs the question of why even

go through this if nothing is actually

under construction? Only when these

projects are actually under construction

and proceeding, is there a real

need for a transmission development

to take place.

Only then should meaningful consultations

with landowners proceed.

AESO’s mentality of “build it and they

will come” is clearly misguided.

ATCO/AltaLink’s decision to recommend

construction of a mono pole

double circuit structure to the AUC is

a result of landowners feedback.

They view it as the most

efficient,cost-effective, least invasive

structure to build.

The least invasive route is to

construct the transmission line on

public right-of-way’s not across landowner’s

property.

If this project is built for the public

good, it should be placed on public

right-of-ways. If property owners had

full property rights this conversation

would not be happening.

Elected officials must have the

courage, not cowardice, to confront

this type of allowed behaviour.

It is important you give ATCO/

AltaLink your feedback regarding line

routing and the mono pole double circuit

structure.

For those of you who are on the

rejected routes, I want to thank you for

taking the time to express your opinions

on the CETO project.

When ATCO/AltaLink presents

their application to

the AUC, the land

agents representing

them will be asking

landowners to sign

options on the proposed

routes.

Grant Barnes, a

land agent who

works with ATCO/

AltaLink stated this

is standard procedure.

My advice to

everyone is not to

sign anything. Why would you sign an

option for something which may not

proceed?

I would remind everyone a number

of us have contacted CAEPLA to represent

us in negotiations with ATCO/

AltaLink’s land agents when the final

decision is made on routing.

Landowners need to be united as a

single voice to ensure meaningful

negotiations.

CAEPLA have been successful in

representing landowner’s concerns.

If you’re interested in joining our

group, call me at 403-742-3904.

Remember ATCO/AltaLink’s land

agents are not working in your best

interest.

Brett Penosky,

Stettler, Alta.

STETTLER TOWN COUNCIL

Town of Stettler to purchase new tandem truck

Stu Salkeld


ECA Review

The Town of Stettler decided to purchase

a new tandem truck after

examining offers from several dealerships

during their regular meeting

Mar. 3.

Councillors decided to investigate

purchasing a New West Freightliner

M2 112 with a midland box after

looking at the results of a request for

proposal presented by CAO Greg

Switenky and Director of Operational

Services Melissa Robbins.

New West Freightliner offered two

models, a Freightliner M2 112 with

Renn box for $166,690.81 and a

Freightliner M2 112 with Midland box

for $169,460.73.

Western Star Trucks offered one

model, a Western Star 4700SB with

Midland box for $200,000.

Great West Kenworth also offered

one model, a Kenworth T880 with

Bibeau box, for $209,700.

Glover International Trucks offered

two models, but staff noted neither

truck met the town’s specifications.

Both of the Glover International

trucks were just over $180,000.

Robbins said the trucks offered are

very similar in details and have similar

warranties and trade-in values.

“Various options on extended warranty

were offered by all companies

with relatively similar terms,” stated

the agenda memo.

“Trade in of the existing 2005

Freightliner was an optional item in

the RFP. Western Star and Glover

offered trade in values of $10,000 and

$15,000. New West and Great West did

not offer a trade in.”

It was noted the town’s old truck has

about 9,500 hours on it.

Coun. Scott Pfeiffer questioned the

need for a three-year extended warranty.

Pfeiffer said to his knowledge

extended warranties are rarely used,

and it looked like the dealerships were

asking $8,000 for it.

Mayor Sean Nolls said he used to

work with trucks like this, and such

warranties are excellent protection

ALIX COUNCIL

from unknowns, stress and downtime.

Robbins noted for work trucks like

this, with emission controls, extended

warranties are worthwhile. She noted

the town has used them before.

Switenky also noted larger tandem

trucks don’t do a lot of highway

driving, but rather spend most of their

lives starting and stopping within the

town, which is considered hard work.

The extended warranty would help

protect the town.

Councillors unanimously agreed to

award the tandem RFP to New West

Freightliner Inc. for the purchase of a

2020 Freightliner M2 112 with midland

box in the amount of $169,460.73,

excluding GST and purchase the additional

3-year warranty for $7,850.00

Town hall on budget crunch

Stu Salkeld

Local Journalism initiative Reporter

ECA Review

The Village of Alix will hold an open

town hall meeting to gather input from

residents before deciding on the

municipality’s upcoming budget, a

budget with question marks surrounding

it.

Councillors discussed the issue at

their regular council meeting Mar. 4.

As the subject of budget came up,

Coun. Vicki Soltermann told her peers

that she felt not just a council meeting

should be held for budget deliberations,

but that a town hall style

meeting should be held where residents

can see issues facing the village

and give their input.

One of the prime issues facing not

just the Village of Alix but virtually

all Alberta municipalities is the recent

provincial government’s announcement

of increased numbers of police

officers, with the complication that

those officers will be paid for directly

by municipalities.

The announcement was received

with surprise by some municipalities,

as they had not factored this increased

policing into their budgets.

Soltermann stated residents should

at least get a chance to give their input

on how the budget shortfall should be

addressed. She said a town hall

meeting would be a way of “testing the

waters.”

Councillors discussed the conundrum

of whether cuts to other village

departments should be made to cover

the policing costs, approve an increase

to the tax rate or a combination of

both.

Village CAO Michelle White suggested

a special council meeting to

discuss budget, the first part of which

would be a town hall meeting where

the public could ask questions and

offer input.

Mayor Rob Fehr noted that even

though the budget town hall would

have a single topic, there may be other

members of the public who want to

talk about other issues or air

grievances.

It was suggested that each member

of the public be limited to a few minutes

to make their comments.

Councillors eventually decided to

hold a special budget deliberation

meeting opened by a budgetary public

engagement session Apr. 8.

Land-use Bylaw

CAO Michelle

White presented the

item to councillors,

noting the updates

mostly revolve

around questions

and items encountered

by the village’s

development officer

Tanya Meston that

aren’t directly

addressed in this

important bylaw.

New tandem

The Town of Stettler council decided

to adjust a truck purchase on the

advice of staff at the regular meeting

of council Mar. 3.

The subject of the regular replacement

of a three-quarter ton truck was

brought to council by CAO Greg

Switenky and Director of Operational

Services Melissa Robbins. They noted,

however, that as one truck replacement

approached, an unexpected one

reared its head.

“Approved 2020 capital budget is

$50,000 to purchase a One Ton Truck,”

stated the council agenda memo.

“After completion of the capital

budget, one of the existing 3⁄4 ton

trucks engine started knocking.

“Administration re-evaluated the

fleet replacement plan and decided to

move a 3⁄4 ton truck purchase up from

2021 and delay the one ton truck purchase

until next year to keep the fleet

operational.”

Robbins said three local dealerships

were approached and asked to submit

details for a 3/4 ton 4x4 extended cab

truck with eight foot box. She also

noted that, as a municipality, the Town

of Stettler gets very good price quotes

from dealerships.

According to the agenda memo,

Aspen Ford responded with a price of

$38,977.92 for a truck that met the

town’s specifications.

Stettler GM and Stettler Dodge

prices were $38,781.25 and $44,122

respectively but Robbins noted these

did not meet specifications as one one

a supercab and the other a crewcab.,

Councillors unanimously approved

awarding the 3/4 ton truck tender to

Aspen Ford and fund it through the

2020 capital budget.

The Endmoor (Endiang/Byemoor

combined) Floor Curling Club has

been curling weekly from September

through April in the Endiang Hall

since 1984.

Over those 36 years the club has

sponsored many bonspiels. In 1992

they decided to hold a Leap Year bonspiel

and they called it Sadie Hawkins

Day Fun ’Spiel.

Since that time Endmoor has held

the Fun ’Spiel each Leap Year on or

close to Feb. 29.

It is stipulated all skips must be a

lady.

Names of all entrants are drawn

from ‘the hat’ so it is “get acquainted

with your team when you play”.

When it started back in 1992, ladies

were asked to dress in their best Sadie

Hawkins ‘capture your man’ costume

so over the years there were many

unique and comical costumes making

for plenty of laughs but this year no

special costumes were asked for.

Forty-eight people made up 12 teams

Renovating, sewing, camping, family were her passions

Arlene Tkach was born on Jan. 14,

1954 in Coronation, Alta.

She was the youngest of four children

born to Harry and Helen

Webster.

She spent her childhood years on

the family farm east of Spondin, where

she enjoyed the simple life of a ranch

girl with her horses and other ranch

activities.

She fondly recalled driving

the tractor while putting up the

hay crop and dodging rocks

that her brother would toss at

her from the bale stooker to

keep her mind on the job.

She told stories of dress-up

with the horses and the many

adventures riding.

Early school years were

spent at Spondin and then a Tkach

transfer to the big school in

Coronation for high school.

It was here that she spied the love of

her life and set her eye on landing the

unsuspecting boy. The trap was set

and sprung.

Arlene married Robert (Rob) Tkach

on Mar. 3, 1972 in a small ceremony in

Edmonton.

Rob went on to finish his degree in

Pharmacy, and a new adventure

began.

They welcomed their firstborn in

July of 1972, and with Neil in tow they

headed north.

The family soon purchased their

first home in Grande Prairie where

Rob was employed as a pharmacist.

Arlene went to work first as a waitress

in a local hotel and then she began

her retail career with Zellers and

quickly became a department

manager.

In 1975, the call of home caught

them and they returned to Coronation

to purchase the local drugstore.

Arlene would work side by side with

Rob in running the pharmacy.

In the summer of 1976, they were

blessed with Toby.

In 1977, the business was relocated

to the Coronation “mall” with Arlene

at Rob’s side in the pharmacy and the

kids running ragged around the mall

a close-knit family was made.

New friends and colleagues ruled

the roost of the Coronation mall.

Shopping cart rides, naps in the furniture

store, creations in the bakery and

showers under the drainage pipe are a

few of the memorable stories relayed

for the future generations

entertainment.

In 1981, Arlene completed the first

program of Pharmacy Technician at

Red Deer College.

1983 saw another career change

with Rob moving to the hospital as

Materials Manager/Pharmacist with

his right-hand pharmacy technician

Arlene at his side.

While Rob looked after other matters

in the facility, Arlene kept the

pharmacy running smoothly and submitted

a monthly newsletter for the

hospital with word puzzles to stump

everyone.

1987 saw Rob transfer to Daysland

as Hospital Administrator, and Arlene

followed once the house sold in

Coronation.

While in Daysland, Arlene worked

as a pharmacy technician at the local

drug store, and she began volunteering

with the local ambulance

service. Eventually, she opened a

small variety business she entitled

“Imagination.”

She completed her EMT-A in 1992.

While in Daysland, she was a fish

momma with a pond outside her home

that would generate hundreds of

goldfish.

She would move these to a small

plastic swimming pool in her store in

Daysland and give them away.

1996 saw another relocation to Red

Deer and a baby.

Born in July of 1996, Alexandra was

the first of four grandkids to be

spoiled.

At this point, Arlene went into semiretirement

with some initial health

issues.

While in Red Deer, she

hosted many of her children’s

friends and became

the annual host for a

number of years for a

couple of cowboys competing

in the FCA finals.

Arlene continued with

her tradition of renovating

every house they owned.

Rob fondly remembers

the removal of many walls,

a beautiful oak china cabinet

that will forever now be pink, and

a formally red brick fireplace painted

white.

All this often happened while Rob

was away at work.

1998 brought two new milestones to

the family, Neil and Pam got married

in the backyard in July, and Keegan

was born in August.

1999 saw Toby and Dave married in

September, and the year 2000 brought

grandchild number three; Shae was

born in August.

Arlene and Rob were once again on

the move.

This time to Crossfield to operate

another pharmacy. Together Arlene

and Rob operated a successful business

until 2008. During this time, she

used her retail skills to train the pharmacy

staff who became very proficient

buyers and merchandisers and welcomed

her last grandchild Brooklyn in

February of 2003.

In about 2005, Arlene’s health began

to catch up to her, and an unfortunate

turn to bad health plagued her from

this point on.

In 2015 a return to Coronation saw

Arlene in assisted living where she

stayed for two years then moved home

with Rob.

In December of 2019, Arlene

returned to long term care and passed

in her sleep on the morning of Mar. 2,

one day short of her 48th wedding

anniversary.

Throughout her life, Arlene enjoyed

her gardens and flowers – when

unable to plant them herself, she made

sure Rob had things properly looked

after.

She enjoyed the outdoors with

camping a favourite pass time.

Fondly remembered were the many

weekends spent at Pine Lake with

family and friends and numerous trips

to Hawaii, her favourite vacation spot.

She loved to travel and was able the

see many distant places.

Sewing and quilting were long time

passions and she was an avid reader

devouring anything by Nora Roberts

and her pseudonym J D Robb.

There was never a shortage of

Lypsyl, Kleenex or water in the house.

Neil and Pam, Toby and Dave, along

with her four grandchildren Allie,

Brooklyn, Keegan and Shae, were her

pride and joy and she very much

enjoyed the time spent together.

White said tweaks would also streamline

the Land Use Bylaw (LUB) and

make the process easier for applicants.

White noted council already spent

quite a bit of time discussing RV’s in

their traffic bylaw and White noted

staff felt it was a good time to make the

LUB fit with the traffic bylaw.

The proposed changes included

details such as where an RV can be

parked on a residential lot and other

details such as an RV overhanging a

boulevard.

A proposed change included an RV

being used as temporary accommodation

for not more than 30 days per year

and a development permit is not

required for that purpose.

Changes allow for a buffer between

residential zones

and zones like

industrial that

could contain

dangerous goods.

A 50 meter buffer

can be totally

contained within

the industrial

zone.

Alix has two

truck routes that

handle dangerous

goods, both on

the north and

south side of the

highway.

Rules also

apply to vehicles

loaded with dangerous

goods

parked on the

street, said

White.

Fences and

decks are also

addressed in the

land use bylaw.

White told

councillors that

more changes,

more administrative

in nature,

may be coming

towards the end

of summer.
