STETTLER COUNTY
County balks at request to lower speed limit
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative reporter
ECA Review
County of Stettler councillors balked
at a request to lower a speed limit,
stating it would set a precedent for
more such requests.
The decision was made at the regular
meeting of council May 13.
“A resident has requested to have the
speed limit reduced from 80 km/h to 50
km/h in front of their residence on
Township Road 38-2 West of Range
Road 21-2,” stated Lee Hardman,
director of Protective Services, in his
report to council.
“No signage displaying speed is currently
present on the township road
which automatically defaults to 80
km/h in accordance with the Traffic
Safety Act.
The complainant is concerned for
the safety of his children that play in
their yard.
“The complainant stated that the
speeds are causing rocks to be flung
into his yard, in one instance almost
hitting his child.
The complainant stated he was at
the point of not letting his children
play outside anymore on his property
due to the safety concerns.
“Cautionary signs are already in
place advising the motoring public that
children are at play on either side of
the resident’s yard.
These types of signs exist
throughout the county at the request of
residents, but this would likely be the
first speed limit reduction in front of a
single acreage.”
Hardman stated when he spoke to
the resident, it was made clear county
departments couldn’t change the speed
limit, only council could do that.
Coun. Wayne Nixon stated that
council is obliged to treat all residents
equally, and if they granted this
request, it may cause many more of
these requests to come forward. “I
don’t see how it can work,” said Nixon.
Coun. Ernie Gendre agreed, stating
he could not support the speed limit
change because it could apply to every
residence. “this could be precedent setting,”
said Gendre.
A motion to grant the speed limit
change was defeated by councillors.

ALIX
Village of
Alix to open
campground
June 12
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative reporter
ECA Review
The Village of Alix will open its popular
campground on June 12 as part of
the provincial re-opening decided
councillors at their regular meeting
May 6.
Councillors adjusted their meeting
room seats to maintain social distancing
guidelines.
Village Chief Administrative Officer
(CAO) Michelle White gave councillors
a report on the municipal campground,
a popular recreation spot in
central Alberta.
She said the village office is fielding
a lot of calls from people wanting to
know if Alix’ campground would open
for May long weekend. Coun. Tim
Besuijen felt it should.
Mayor Rob Fehr noted even if the
campground opens, there are a
number of serious social distancing
rules to follow which could affect
workload for staff.
He also said he fears the provincial
government is jumping the gun on
reopening the economy.
White stated it didn’t look like the
village had a serious liability issue
with opening the campground but the
beaches were another matter because
the provincial government had yet to
clarify that area for compliance with
coronavirus measures such as social
distancing.
Coun. Ed Cole stated opening the
campground would boost the local
business community, as it would draw
visitors.

Hanna council addresses loan bylaws
Eileen Morrill
ECA Review
There were three bylaws on the
Hanna council meeting agenda on
May 12.
The first, Bylaw 1008-2020, titled
the Hanna Golf Club Loan Bylaw,
was to have received second
reading at this meeting.
The Golf Club had submitted a
request for a loan to cover interim
financing in the amount of $20,000
to assist with operating costs
because of a potential late season
start-up due to the Covid-19 crisis.
Under Section 264 and 265 of the
Municipal Government Act (MGA)
a municipality may lend money to
a non-profit organization if the
loan is authorized by bylaw.
However, circumstances
changed for the Golf Club as they
applied for and received funding
assistance from the Federal
Government through a Covid-19
program, and the Hanna golf
course was able to open May 9 and
is receiving revenue through the
purchase of memberships, punch
cards, green fees and take away
food services from the club house.
CAO Kim Neill acknowledged
that many unknowns still exist in
this Covid-19 crisis and the
Province could change golf course
regulations again dependent upon
new Covid-19 outbreaks.
Neill continued by saying that,
“In case things go sideways” and
the club is required to shut down
creating a situation where they
generate little or no revenue and
needs financial assistance later
this summer, to avoid starting this
bylaw process over from scratch,
Castor council pondering
garbage truck decision
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative reporter
ECA Review
Castor town council put the
brakes on a decision to buy a new
garbage truck during their regular
council meeting May 11.
The meeting was conducted electronically
to meet COVID-19 social
distancing measures.
Town of Castor Chief
Administratie officer, (CAO)
Christopher Robblee presented
councillors with a report on the
purchase of a new garbage truck to
replace the current one.
“In 2018 council was advised that
the current garbage truck is past
its safe operational expectancy.
Since then council reserved
$80,000, roughly $24,000 of this
being approved Municipal
Sustainability Initiative funds,”
stated Robblee in his agenda
memo.
“Administration is able to purchase
a garbage truck for the
original reserved amounts but
such equipment is the same as
what we currently own.
“Further, for such a price
council would be able to modernize
to a side load garbage truck
including all the garbage cans for
residents of Castor.
Such a price would also cover a
load behind, but nothing else.”
Robblee noted if councillors
wanted to proceed with buying a
new garbage truck, some decisions
needed to be made.
“Primarily, council will have to
choose to transfer 2019 reserve
cash to enable the purchase, in
addition, administration will have
to amend our 2020 MSI application.
“Social implications include, but
are not limited to, residents being
required to pull their roll outs.
“However, it will also decrease
the likelihood of complaints
related to garbage not being taken,
destroyed bags, improper garbage
being put out among others.”
During discussion, Robblee
described a major factor being a
new garbage truck’s basic design.
Modern garbage trucks include
factors such as front or side
loading, plus the ability to pick up
plastic, street-sitting “roll out” garbage
bins.
Coun. Rod Zinger stated the current
garbage truck should be
closely examined to find out
exactly why it needs to be replaced
and, perhaps, what its re-sale value
would be.
He also pointed out this decision
probably needs more time spent on
it considering the amount of money
that could be involved, and the fact
that Coun. Lonnie Nellner had to
excuse himself from the meeting.
Councillors eventually agreed to
table this issue to give them time to
ponder options, plus get a report
from staff on the exact condition of
the current garbage truck.
Council should delay second
reading of this bylaw until
the fall.
Neill stated that under
Section 188 of the MGA
bylaws may remain open for
two years.
Hanna council unanimously
agreed to leave
Bylaw 1008-2020 open.
Hanna Roundhouse
Society loan bylaw
defeated
Hanna Roundhouse
Society (HRS) requested an
interest free loan in the
amount of $35,000 to assist
the society with the costs of
completing fire and building
safety code improvements
and their goal to host public
assembly type events in the
roundhouse.
The society is requesting
a repayment period of five
years for the loan.
Before the discussion
started, Coun. Sandra
Beaudoin asked if she was in
conflict of interest wearing
both hats as a council
member and president of the
Hanna Roundhouse Society.
CAO Neill clarified she
was only in conflict of
interest if she, or a member
of her family, were to make
financial gain from a decision
of council.
Coun. Beaudoin
explained background information
on funding received
for the restoration of the
Hanna roundhouse which
included loans repaid to
Special Areas, grants from
Alberta Heritage and the
South Eastern Alberta
Foundation and local fund
raising and donations.
Beaudoin stated in 2020
two grant applications, the
Community Facility
Enhancement Program
(CFEP} grant for $15,508 and
the Co-op Community
Spaces Grant for $20,000.
The society has agreed
that if these grants are
received a portion or all the
loan can be paid back to the
town immediately.
The town has provided
the society with an operating
grant since 2016 that is
equivalent to the municipal
portion of their property
tax.
CAO Neill confirmed for
council that the name on the
title is The Hanna Round
House Society.
Councillor Beaudoin
stated no money raised by
the society goes to any board
members, and in fact society
members have paid personal
funds to make and install
safety signage around the
property.
Beaudoin said work needs
to be completed on the roof
and if funding does not
permit the entire roof to be
completed, the society will
use what available funds
they have and do a portion
of the roof.
Beaudoin said before the
roundhouse can be opened
to the public fire safety work
must be completed which is
estimated to cost $50,000.
The society has permission
to use porta-potties.
The motion was defeated
2 - 5 with Mayor Warwick
and Coun. Beaudoin in
favour and Councillors
Campion, Deadlock, Jensen,
Stickel and Olsen opposed.

Water meter upgrades
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Western Canada’s measurement
sales manager, Dennis Plican with
ICONIX, a waterworks company,
presented at council via video conference
how they could help the
town with upgrades to their water
meters.
Plican offered the Badger
Beacon system which is a cellular
system.
“It means you’re not driving
around any more or using a hand
held or anything like that. All
you’re going to do is install the end
point into the home, connect it to
the meter,” explained Plican. “It’s a
really simple system. As soon as
water runs through the meter, it
will connect to the cellular.”
Around Coronation, they have
the option between two cell towers
within range just outside of town.
Plican hopes to have a 100 per
cent or 99 per cent at the least in
terms of connectivity when
reaching these meters remotely.

Fox Coulee solar park units reduced
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Aura Power Renewables
Limited sent in a letter giving
an update on the solar park
located near Fox Coulee and
the airport, close to the
Drumheller Valley.
In the latter half of 2019, the
company finished an investigation
meant to optimize the
performance of the array.
“In general our conclusions
reveal that we are able to
increase the performance by
using panels that track the
movement of the sun.
Additionally, by using this
configuration we can
decrease the amount of glare
experienced by ground
observes,” noted the letter
signed by the company’s
development team.
This new method will allow
them to decrease the amount
of ground covered by solar
panels, while still producing
the same amount of electrical
power from the array.
The site chosen is still
expected to remain similar to
past presentations.
To date, they have completed
a number of inner
projects to make the solar
farm a success including
single direction panels which
replaced the tilt style panels
previously installed as well
as completion of wildlife
monitoring and follow up
studies as required by the
Alberta Environments and
Parks.
The number of inverter stations
have been reduced to 17
Cont’d from Pg 1
Cole stated at least opening
the campground would create
some optimism and the village
could monitor for
problems.
Councillors voted 3 to 2 in
favour of re-opening the
municipal campground on
June 12.
No discount after all
Councillors defeated, by a 3
to 2 vote, a bylaw that would
have offered a 10 per cent discount
to residents paying
their property taxes early
this summer.
Discussed at a prior
meeting, the effort was linked
to coronavirus measures
such as pushing back the
property tax deadline and
CAO White brought back a
STARLAND COUNTY
as a result of higher performance
units now becoming
available.
They anticipate these units
will give off the same or less
of the noise emissions given
under the previously proposed
designs.
Aura Power expects to be
ready to begin construction
in late summer or in the fall
of this year with the site
becoming operational as
early as November.
Lastly, the company is on
the hunt for trades people in
the local area including
labourers, accommodations,
construction equipment,
trucking and more is
required to make the project
possible.
Morrin letters
Two letters were received
by the Mayor of the Village of
Morrin, Howard Helton.
Council remained quiet
during the meeting,
accepting the letters as
information.
The letters addressed concerns
regarding Starland
County’s water operator Glen
Riep who has a side business
as an independent operator
that monitors Morrin’s water
treatment plant as well on his
own time.
Morrin council sent this
letter highlighting points that
were laid out in the Annual
Operations Review (AOR) as
miscommunication between
Riep and Morrin has resulted
in a back-and-forth match of
opinions and facts.
“... Keeping in mind that at
Alix in solid financial position
draft bylaw that would have
finalized the discount.
Coun. Vicki Soltermann
reiterated that she felt the discount
would encourage
people to pay early and get
cash flowing to the village
while helping those in
distress.
Coun. Gilliat stated she felt
the discount rewards people
who don’t really need help
and doesn’t help people who
are in financial difficulty.
White pointed out the
Village of Alix is in a solid
financial position and at least
one major taxpayer stated
they will pay on time so cash
flow shouldn’t be an issue
this summer.
Councillors defeated
Soltermann’s motion for first
reading, with Soltermann
no time did council intend to
alienate the two municipalities
but acted in good faith in
performing their duty as
elected officials to act in the
best interest of the municipality
and its citizens,” the
letter, dated March 25, stated.
Riep performs his water
operator duties for both
Starland County and Morrin
but has said he does Morrin’s
water treatment work on his
own time, keeping the work
separate from his daily duties
with the county.
“In the spirit of the
Intermunicipal Collaboration
Framework I would like to
see only the employees of
Starland and the village
involved.
As stated earlier by Mr.
Riep, the village had no
option other than to engage
Pier Enterprises [at the time].
This was never an issue with
me. However, the situation
has now changed and there
are employee operators available
as indicated by Mr.
Riep.”
Back in Dec. 2017, Morrin
council met with Riep in the
old Starland building to
acquaint themselves with the
water plant operations.
This was the first time
there was discussion about
pursuing a replacement
emergency pump gas engine
with electric motor.
With the goal of eventually
replacing the whole system
by implementing new pumps,
all at the meeting agreed they
can look into but as a first
step could start with
Non-residential property tax
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Elnora councillors and
Chief Administrative Officer
met via teleconference video
on Tues. May 12 for their regular
monthly meeting.
The non-residential property
tax deferral topic was
tabled from the April 14
meeting but after discussion
this time around, council was
able to come to an agreement,
ELNORA COUNCIL
making a draft bylaw to
amend the 2020 penalty date
to October 1 and six per cent.
For utility accounts, the
village invoices utilities once
a year with accounts being
due December 31.
If the account is outstanding
at that date, it is
transferred to the tax account
and subject to an 18 per cent
penalty in the past.
A motion made by Dep.
Mayor Nelson was approved
to allow a 15 per cent credit
for commercial utility
accounts for this year with a
possible additional credit pursuant
to an approved
application.
Services that run under
this category include the
churches, the school, the
community hall and agricultural
building, as well as the
Legion and drop-in centre.

Tax recovery
Councillors heard an
unusual report about a land
sale to recover unpaid taxes.
White reported that the
property located at 4705 45th
Ave. had been sold to recover
unpaid taxes owed to the village,
and a mobile home had
been disposed of as a hazard.
White reported that after
paying expenses the land sale
netted the village $17,491.36
which was not enough to
cover the debt owed, which is
rather unusual. The village
still was owed $1,906.78.
Councillors unanimously
agreed to waive $1,906.78
from the applicable tax roll.
replacing the outdated engine pump
driver.
A quote for the pump driver was
received. Later on, council asked Chief
Administrative Officer (CAO) Annette
Plachner for a more detailed quote to
be brought back.
On Jan. 22, 2019, Riep gave council
the detailed report outlining how
replacing the old fire pump was
needed as its age and hand controlled
operation of the unit.
He noted that the unit can still do
what it needs to but must be started by
hand and attended to during
operation.
By Jan. 29, it was decided to go
ahead and purchase as deadlines for
receiving the Genset they require was
closing.
In talking with the contractor,
Collicutt Energy, they found that a 30
horsepower motor was needed. Photos
and measurements were taken at this
time as well.
The mayor requested a new quote be
given with the additional costs as
much of their water works was run out
of the same building.
It was at this time the mayor asked if
the county would be interested in
sharing this cost.
Ripe explained that the county’s
budget was already set for the year
with only the GenSet included so if
any additional costs were needed, the
village would have to foot the bill.
By April 17, a new quote from
Collicutt Energy was received.
Council accepted this figure and
directed the CAO to inform the county
of their decision.
It was here that miscommunication
unfolded as council ‘assumed’ that
Riep was working on the project and
was aware of the decision to move forward
with the replacement on top of
the additional costs presented by
Collicutt.
Riep thought the additional costs
outside of the generator and transfer
switch were then trying to be given to
Starland County instead.
“I would point out to Mr. Riep that at
no time did any councillor act on their
own to change the project, stated
Mayor Helton. “The only action of a
councillor, who was me, was to request
Collicutt Energy to submit a quote and
as stated earlier Mr. Riep was well
aware of that.
“Subsequently, council received said
quote and made the decision to accept
the project,” said Mayor Helton.
In closing, Helton added, “In my
opinion, the Village of Morrin council
has been elected to keep informed of
the operations of the village and
expects that all employees and contractors
will understand their roles as
well and make an effort to keep said
council well informed and provide any
and all information that is requested
of them.”

HALO Air Ambulance, a
southern Alberta based medical
service, is in dire straits
after the government has
made it abundantly clear
they wish not to invest much
needed funding for continual
operations.
HALO CEO Paul Carolan
estimates the fee-for-service
model currently used only
accounts for less than 10 per
cent of their annual budget,
leaving a large amount up to
‘the backs of everyday
Albertans’.
“I try to be very, very clear
about this. The most important
message we need to get
out is while COVID-19 might
be the catalyst for this, it is
not the cause. The cause is
the lack of the provincial government’s
willingness to
fund appropriately for essential
services in southern
Alberta,” said Carolan.
On Fri. May 8, 2020 HALO
contacted Premier Kenney’s
office to make it clear that
without an immediate
Government of Alberta
investment they would have
to fold the medevac program
and scale back operations to
a single-engine helicopter
effective June 1, 2020.
“The problem with that
model is that the most inexpensive
part of the program
is the flying,” said Carolan.
“So the government is getting
the benefit of having an
exclusive asset SUTTON
available
whenever they need it and
LANDMARK REALTY
only paying when they use it.

Black bear spotted
near Spondin
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
At approximately 2 p.m.
on Tues. May 12, a black
bear was spotted on the bald
prairies in the Spondin,
Alta. area, northeast of
Hanna and southwest of
Coronation.
Don Quast, the man who
saw the bear, says neighbours
– especially ranchers
– should be on the lookout to
ensure their livestock’s
safety as well as their own.
The fully grown bear was
headed northeast, coming
for the southwest.
The most expensive part of
our program is the dedicated
availability of the service.”
HALO covers remote service
areas in the east central
region like Special Areas and
MD of Acadia including
Buffalo, Jenner, Oyen,
Acadia Valley, Empress, Big
Stone, Wardlow, Finnegan,
Iddesleigh, etc. as well as
Lethbridge, Brooks and
Medicine Hat.
Carolan noted that the
main reason they are needed,
especially for service deserts
such as the Special Areas is
that when speaking with fire
chiefs, their call can be a
mere 10 miles away but it
ends up being a 90 minute
drive by ground because of
the landscape like winding
rivers and deep coulees
Unfortunately, no picture
was able to be taken due to
its quick stride.
“He was moving along
pretty good,” said Quast.
“He would walk for a few
steps and then he’d go and
he was covering ground
pretty good.”
Frank and Sue Geduhn of
Hemaruka, Alta. spotted a
bear, likely the same one,
several days later.
He stated it looked to be a
two-year old adult male and
said generally at that age
males tend to branch out
and likely would not be
harmful livestock.
which can become a life or
death situation with that
time being lost.
“We’ve been to calls in the

between us and a program
like STARS coming out of
Calgary is that being located
regionally means that we
maximize every ounce of fuel
we have because we are
always travelling in the
direction of the goal post
right so when we leave
Medicine Hat for Oyen we
can get to the Foothills
Hospital in Calgary on one
tank of fuel,” said the CEO.
“So we don’t have to wait
for a refuel, we don’t have to
wait for an unload or reload
of a patient. We don’t have to
deal with any of those delays
check us out online
www.ECAreview.com
and quite frankly if you’re using a helicopter,
those minutes really matter.”
Since their inception in 2007, the
company has never had sustained
funding from the province other than
a restricted $1 million grant for the
purchase of their main twin-engine
helicopter, HALO 1.
Currently, there are ambulance services
as well as two helicopters at their
disposal but typically the HALO 1 is
used as it is stronger, larger and more
versatile in emergency situations.
Late last week, members of the
HALO Board of Directors held an
emergency meeting to discuss the
financial forecast of the program.
Following a record setting fund
development year in 2019, the arrival
of the pandemic earlier this year had
an immediate impact on their fundraising
program.
“Other air ambulance programs
have benefitted from years of
Government of Alberta support,
allowing them to build financial
reserves that can be drawn upon
during these extraordinary times.
HALO has no such reserves,” stated
Carolan.
The province has not addressed the
situation at this time.
We here at
Paintearth Lodge
would like to give a

So far the foundation has

In a recent council meeting,

why they should be the one
footing the bill when there are
plenty of other members in the

Resiliency versus efficiency
B. Schimke
ECA Review
We learned how vulnerable our beef
supply chain was during the BSE
crisis. We learned how vulnerable our
poultry and pork industries were
during the Avian and Swine flues,
respectively.
With COVID-19 we’re learning how
Canada, a country blessed with agricultural
lands and output, is
vulnerable to food shortages because
of the ‘efficiencies’ we’ve built into our
supply chains.
The majority of our meat production
goes through huge multi-national meat
processing plants. To achieve large
returns for shareholders and ‘cheap’
food, these companies use low paid,
temporary workers and immigrants to
work closely together in conditions
where viruses thrive and spread.
The Cargill
plant in High
“
River, where half
of its workers
were infected
and some died, is
owned by 100+
family members
out of
Minneapolis, 14
of whom are
billionaires.
The JBS meat
packing plant in
Brooks is owned by a Brazilian company,
the largest meat processing
company in the world.
Yet when Mr. Trudeau announced
his first round of financial help to the
agricultural industry, $77 million was
set aside to invest in safer working conditions
in these foreign-owned plants.
It’s disgusting on one front—bailing
out billionaires—but on the other
front, this public investment has a pay
back in terms of putting a lid on health
care costs.
We got through BSE, SARS, Avian
flu and Swine flu because it didn’t take
down the whole world at once.
This pandemic, however, has shone
a light on how vulnerable food security
is worldwide.
Liberating world trade and reducing
responsible controls between countries
has liberated the power of biology—
pests, viruses, diseases,
fungi—leading to the overuse of pesticides,
antibiotics and chemicals.
Most concerning is the very real
crisis facing the world’s number one
pollinator—the bee.
Local and regional
food networks should
be our government’s
subsidy priority.
MAIL BAG
Once again, we are looking at the
obvious—our agriculture industry’s
supply chains for local consumption
need to be nimbler and more sustainable,
and our native ecosystems need
to be better respected.
Every time there’s been an unforeseen
crisis, large processing plants
have always been the juggernaut in
our meat processing capabilities, and
often have benefited the most from
government bailouts.
Granted, large food processing
plants and factory farms are important
to provide equitable and cheap
food for a hungry world, but building
resilience into our local food supply
chain is also gravely important.
Crisis after crisis we just fall back
into the old ways of doing things.
In our subsidy programs, let’s start
making a sizable distinction between
BigAg and Canadian agriculture delivered
by
medium-sized
and smaller
operators
who are on the
land, not investors
from afar.
More attention
should be given
to how we build
up and sustain
local horticultural
operations,
farmer’s markets,
organic producers, agricultural
cooperatives, and small and mediumsized
producers.
It’s nonsense that we allow our meat
supply chain to be completely vulnerable,
in a land of plenty, because the
government hasn’t prioritized and supported
locally-owned meat-packing
plants.
There’s no better time than after this
pandemic to shift the balance of subsidies
away from BigAg and towards the
rest of the agricultural sector.
Producing food is a tough business
with outrageous input costs (compliments
of BigAg) and many
uncontrollable factors, but it is also our
most important industry.
Local and regional food networks
should be our government’s subsidy
priority.
Governments must build resiliency
into the system so that all Canadians,
rich and poor, can rest assured that
our agriculture industry has the
ability to provide uninterrupted,
healthy and affordable food even
during a pandemic.

Catching wild pigs
by Herman Schwenk
Everyday for the last couple of
months Trudeau pops out of his rabbit
hole to make another financial
announcement.
His primary purpose is to convince
Canadians what a caring government
the Liberals are.
His major concern is the welfare of
HIS job and the future of the Liberal
government, not us.
Progressive parties design government
programs to take people’s
freedoms away.
I know any government would have
had to provide some assistance to
counterbalance the negative effects of
COVID-19 and we know that there has
to be maintenance of basic welfare programs
but the Liberals have gone
overboard and they will bankrupt our
country.
The enclosed article written by
Norman Wolfe, living in Portland,
Oregon and adviser to CEOs, is something
that all residents in Canada
should read.
This analogy makes the point I’ve
been trying to make in many of my
columns.
Critical life lesson
‘Do you know how to catch wild
pigs?’
There was a chemistry professor in a
large college that had some exchange
students in the class.
One day while the class was in the
lab, the professor noticed one young
man, an exchange student, who kept
rubbing his back and stretching as if
his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man
what was the matter.
The student told him he had a bullet
lodged in his back. He had been shot
while fighting communists in his
native country who were trying to
overthrow his country’s government
and install a new communist regime.
In the midst of his story, he looked at
the professor and asked a strange
question.
He asked, ”Do you know how to
catch wild pigs?”
The professor thought it was a joke
and asked for the punch line. The
young man said it was no joke.
BRENDA SCHIMKE
Editorial Writer
GAYLE JARAWAY
Marketing 403-578-4111
advertise@ECAreview.com
“You catch wild pigs by finding a
suitable place in the woods and placing
corn on the ground, The pigs find it
and begin to come every day to eat the
free food.
“When they are used to coming
everyday, you put a fence down one
side of the place where they are used to
coming.
“When they get used to the fence,
they begin to eat the corn again and
you put up another side of the fence.
They get used to that and start to eat
again. You continue until you have all
four sides up with a gate on the last
side.
“The pigs, which are use to the free
corn, start to come through the gate to
eat that free corn again. You then slam
the gate on them and catch the whole
herd.”
“Suddenly the wild pigs have lost
their freedom. They run around and
around inside the fence, but they are
caught. Soon they go back to eating the
free corn.
“They are so used to it that they
have forgotten how to forage in the
woods for themselves so they accept
their captivity.”
The young man then told the professor
that is exactly what he sees
happening in America.”
The government keeps pushing us
towards communism/socialism and
feeding us the free corn of programs
such as supplemental income, tax
credit for unearned income, tax
exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy
subsidies, payments not to plant crops,
[CRP] welfare entitlements, medicine,
drugs etc., while we continually lose
our freedoms, just a little at a time as
the government forces us to participate
in many of these programs whether or
not we want to.
One should always remember two
truths. There is no such thing as a free
lunch, and you can never hire someone
to provide a service for you cheaper
than you can do it yourself.
If you see all this wonderful government
”help” is a problem confronting
the future of democracy in America,
you might want to share this with your
friends. God help us all when the gate
slams shut!”

Tax penalty relief
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Youngstown council
gathered for their regular
meeting on Tues.
May 5 where it was
decided that taxpayers
will have eased penalties
if not paid on time.
What is normally set
at 18 per cent for late
payments is now down
to 10 per cent until
September 31, 2020.
Taxes are normally
due by August 31.
“It might not hurt but
we are way later than
most municipalities
anyhow,” said Coun.
Ken Johnson.
Mill rates set
Youngstown solidified
their mill rates for the
year with residential at
14.78 per cent which is
half a per cent increase
There you have it!
Cont’d from Pg 6
So there you have it!
Believe me Trudeau is
using this crisis for his
and the Liberal’s benefit.
I wrote over two
months ago that the
Liberals are just ecstatic
about this development.
He can spend money to
his heart’s content
without much public
criticism.
He has attempted to
convince the public that
he is so concerned about
their welfare but he
doesn’t seem to be too
Lives well-lived
Cont’d from Pg 6
I wait for it every
week, and, like eating a
cake with really good
icing, I read the editorial
last, so I am left with a
really good taste in
mouth.
I read the obituaries,
in part to make sure I’m
not listed, and I like to
read about lives welllived
who have been
part of our community. I
read community news
and advertising for bull
sales even though I don’t
know much about bulls.
And speaking of bull,
I even skim read
PrairieView although I
don’t agree with one
thing Mr. Schwenk
writes.
His articles are predictable:
anti-Trudeau,
anti-Liberal, anti-NDP,
anti-motley, anti-carbon
tax, pro landowners
rights, pro Wildrose, Pro
Kenny, climate change
denier, and not well
researched, but I respect
his right to express his
opinions. Mr. Schwenk
never lets facts get in the
way of a strong opinion.
I do need to respond to
a letter to the editor by
Gordon Snell of Three
Hills, also in the April 23
paper.
from last year.
This is because of the
Big Country Waste
Association raising their
fees 1.6 per cent as well
as the Acadia Valley
Seniors Foundation up
0.13 per cent.
The School
Foundation requisition
went down 0. 4 per cent.
Commercial or nonresidential
properties
are set at 16.03 per cent,
up 0.3 per cent in mill
rate from last year.
“It’s not enough that I
think people will be
grumbling too much,”
said CAO Garlock as she
determined the added
cost will go up possibly
$20 for residents in total.
“It will cut into our
scotch money,” joked

concerned about the
welfare of this country
when it comes time to
repay this huge debt.
His policies are
restricting people’s freedoms.
An example are
his recent proposed gun
laws.
If the Liberals win
another election the
financial integrity of
this country will be
destroyed and we will be
very vulnerable to a
non-democratic government
taking over
Canada.
While his anti-
Trudeau stand is
predictable in rural
Alberta, his view associated
with the Chief
Medical Officer is not.
It sounds much like
the views that might be
held by Derek
Fildebrandt or Allan
Hunsberger.
It was Mr. Hunsberger
who single-handedly
snatched defeat from the
jaws of the victory by
the Wildrose Part with
his homophobic views.
Now we have Mr.
Derek Sloan (a
“Conservative without
apology”), a candidate
for the leadership of the
Conservative party.
His racist and
misoginistic attitude
was too much for many
Ontario Conservatives
and they want to boot
him from the party.
Funny, I didn’t hear a
peep from Alberta
Conservatives.
In closing, I think it is
worth noting that the
most respected politician
in the country right
now is a female, a
Liberal, and an
Albertan.

Coronation Outreach School
CONSULTATION
As a valued part
of the education
and learning
for our students,
Clearview
is seeking
your feedback.
Clearview is considering the opportunity to shift the outreach
programming offered through Coronation Outreach School
into Coronation School effective September 2020. The program
and opportunities for students provided through the outreach
programming option will continue.
Coronation Outreach School is currently operating in a facility
apart from Coronation School. In previous years outreach
schools could not operate on school property, and starting next
year the Alberta Government will now allow outreach schools to
operate on school property. This provides an opportunity to look
for what is best for our students.
The consideration to move the outreach programming option
into Coronation School will allow for even more supports and
resources to be available (along with the outreach programming
option) for those students at risk or could benefit in an outreach
learning environment. Also, by moving the outreach program
into the school, the cost savings from the rent can instead
be used for learning priorities. Further, efficiencies in school
operations including administrative supports and increased
collaboration with staff will be available.
Traditionally, outreach schools offer additional opportunities
for students that may not be successful in a traditional learning
environment. Students that would use the outreach program
within Coronation School will be able to continue to access the
same level of supports and alternate learning opportunities,
while also having access to the full-range of student learning
supports available to all Coronation School students.
As part of the process in doing so, Clearview will no longer use
the school code for Coronation Outreach School. Under the
Education Act (Section 62), both the removal of the school code
and the move of the outreach program into another site requires
consultation.

Report states Kneehill adapted
well to COVID-19 pandemic
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative
reporter
ECA Review
Kneehill County’s operations
have adapted relatively well to the
coronavirus pandemic, council
heard at their regular meeting
May 12, with staff working on new
projects and bringing in some new
considerations.
During a detailed update from
Kneehill County Chief
Administrative Officer (CAO)
Mike Haugen, councillors heard
how the municipality has been
adapting to the pandemic.
“The COVID-19 pandemic event
has placed a number of issues and
pressures on the county and its
operations,” stated Haugen in his
report to council.
“While the nature or provision
of some services has changed,
other services have largely continued
in their normal way.”
Haugen showed a chart illustrating
how the Planning Services
department has been affected by
the economy’s shutdown.
In 2019, the county handled 27
subdivisions, but so far in 2020
there have only been 12. However,
Haugen stated with much talk of
re-opening the economy step by
step, there’s optimism those numbers
will jump.
Haugen stated the
Communications department had
plenty to handle.
“On top of normal county business,
communications is also
playing an active role in Kneehill
County’s Emergency Coordination
Centre, monitoring updates from
the Alberta government and
adding new COVID-19 information
to our website.”
The CAO stated municipal staff
had time to convert paper files to
electronic.
“While the front desk is still
answering calls and emails, they
have been able to take on the digitization
of county files,” stated
Haugen’s report.
“During this pandemic event,
almost 16,000 pages have been
scanned into the county’s electronic
filing system.”
The Ag Services department has
been busy with COVID-19
measures.

OBITUARY
Always made the best of the situation
Isabell Hogg
January 27, 1932 - May
9, 2020
Isabell was the second
child of John (Jack) and
Alethea Thomson, born
in the General Hospital,
Calgary Alta. on Jan. 27,
1932.
Her early years were
spent in Calgary.
Sister, Doreen and herself
were boarded with a
family near Innisfail for a
short time.
She then was hired to
help Grandma Hogg at
the family farm.
There she met her
future soulmate Harry,
and together they started
a family of their own,
Lawrence (Karen)
Frances Beekman
(Henry) and Bruce
(Leona).
Harry died suddenly in
October of 1970 leaving
her with a young family
to care for which she did.
As did many farm
women, she made the best
of it; milking cows,
raising chickens, putting
in a garden, sewing and
knitting.
Over the years she
became a part of the community,
joining a lady’s
group, working at various
community functions and
doing what she loved,

quilting by hand,
making jams to sell at
local farmer’s markets
and selling fresh cream
and eggs to the ready
customers of the area.
She did this for some
60 years from her home
on the farm near Huxley,
Alta.
In 2012, she moved to
Sunset Manor in
Innisfail and
made many
new friends
there.
In her
retirement
years, she
enjoyed travelling
across
Canada and
the U.S., visiting
family Hogg
and made new
friends where
ever she went.
Family and people
were very important to
her.
Isabell would always
make the best of whatever
the situation with a
positive attitude, never
spoke ill of anyone and
there was always a place
at the table for anyone
who stopped by.
Isabell always enjoyed
her grandchildren and
the children of the area.
Each Halloween, she
would dress up to greet
the little spooks and
goblins with treats but
they had to pose for pictures
to put in her
album.
Many family reunions
were held at the farm
where members of her
family would gather to
tell stories and enjoy
each other’s company for
a brief time.
These were always
special to her.
Isabell passed
away quietly of
natural causes
on May 9, 2020
with family at
her side.
Isabell was
predeceased by
her parents,
husband Harry,
brother Richard
and sister
Doreen.
She is survived by one
brother, John, half-sisters
Eves, Collena,
Elvena and Betty; her
three children, 10 grandchildren
18
great-grandchildren as
well as numerous nieces,
nephews and cousins.
As per her wishes, she
was cremated and there
will be no service.

Pumphouse upgrades
Cont’d from Pg 3
Tagish Engineering
has come back with
quotes to address various
problems with the
pumphouse and
reservoir.
In his summary, Greg
Smith, principal engineer
and general
manager with Tagish,
said “Tagish thinks it is
important to define
what should be considered
new construction
versus major maintenance
and doesn’t want
the two to conflict with
each other.”
Smith visited council
and the pumphouse for a
better idea of its problems
in early March. A
few ideas were discussed
and since then
he has come up with a
couple of funding
options which were discussed
with public
works as well as recommendations
on priority
list items.
His first step was to
finalize the Elnora
Water Pumping Station
and Water Analysis
report which will help
cement the sizing of the
future water storage.
Secondly, public
works recommended an
upgrade to the existing
building.
“From an engineering
perspective, the project
would be more seamless
and a better product in
the end if a new pump
station were built on the
newly purchased lot
along with a small
storage tank then potentially
utilize the existing
main tank that was constructed
in the 1980s for
the bulk of the storage,”
said Smith in his report.
The existing pump
house itself was built on
top of an old storage
tank that is currently
used as the pump
chambers.
Smith suggested they
decommission it due to
its age and the ‘number
of unknown factors’.
During construction
of the new pumphouse,
it was noted that the old
pump house can remain
in use. But if the
existing pumphouse is
being renovated instead,
a temporary pumping
system will be needed
during the construction
phase.
A motion was made
by Dep. Mayor Nelson to
purchase 524 – 3rd Ave.
at a cost of $40,00 and to
obtain costings for two
options from Tagish
Engineering.
Off-leash dog park
Talks of an off-leash
dog park within Elnora
was discussed.
After all was said and
done, council directed
administration to investigate
fencing options as
well as table the discussion
to the next town
hall meeting for community
discussion.

The system can also determine if
someone has been tampering with
their meter as it gives individual
‘health’ stats.
The town hopes to have water
meters and MXU’s for the purpose of
reading meters electroncially,
installed over a five year period.
After a few discussions
with
neighbouring communities,
Chief
Administrative
Officer (CAO)
Quinton Flint
found that the
Village of Veteran
is replacing all
meters and MXU’s
over a shorter time
frame of two years.
The Village of
Consort is also
looking at
replacing its
system over a more
extended period as
well with finances
permitting.
The administration
has sent out
requests from a
few different companies
and has
only received
information from
one so far.
However, their
quote was very
unorganized, and
the CAO has
requested a
re-quote.
If the (Federal
Gas Tax) FGT is
used, the municipality
would have
no choice but to
replace the water

meter and the MXU’s.
If the municipality only replaced the
MXU’s, the FGT will not cover the
costs.
MSI would, however, most of MSI is
proposed to be allocated to paving
projects.
Council chose to approve the water
meter proposal.
Currently, this project would be recommended
for a full replacement,
either funded by reserves or GTF, with
the assistance of the year loan payment
presently coming to an end in
October of 2020.
The reserves could be replaced
within a matter of two and a half years
if the municipality used both sources
of funding.
Administration has been reviewing
the current life cycle for the existing
meters and feels that the municipality
is potentially losing revenue with
water meter miss-readings.
The current meter and MXU system
are 17 to 19-years-old.
The revenue can be lost over a
period when the meters are near end of
life.
While the meters wear out due to
age, the percentage increases over
time as well.
The main mechanical portions of the
meters do become clogged with debris,
residual, sediment and/or damaged.
The result is that mechanical components
begin to fail or need to be
cleaned and re-calibrated.
The other aspect is the meters themselves
are becoming an outdated
technology that was purchased in the
2000s.
The municipality currently has
more than 50 sites within the municipality
where meters are estimated due
to the MXU’s failing or the meter being
unresponsive.

...jokes, puns, riddles and rhymes.
Kids: color
stuff in!
We use words when we speak or write. We use
them in songs, stories, poems, letters and
speeches! We use words to tell others what we
are thinking, how we are feeling or how things
work. We use words for fun too! We love to “play”
on words in jokes and riddles, and in other ways.
Read the clues to fill in the crossword puzzle with
different kinds of word play that we have fun with:
1. a ______________ word shrinks a word making it easier to say; airplane = plane
2. word that is spelled the same backwards and forwards; kayak
3. series of words with the same starting sound; big bad boy
4. words with the same letters, but moved around; cat - act
5. words that resemble the sound they are talking about; whiz, bang
6. set of “opposite” words; jumbo shrimp, small crowd
7. swapping of letters or syllables in words;
bunny rabbit = runny babbit
8. a tongue __________ puts together
words that are hard to say in a row;
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
9. an exaggerated statement; I died laughing
10. putting two words together to make a new
word; squeeze + crunch = scrunch
11. words that have the same ending sound; very cherry
12. a humor-filled story or trick; knock, knock!
13. giving human-like abilities to something non-human;
the wind howled, time marches on
14. a word named after a real person; teddy bear (Theodore Roosevelt)
15. a clever question that needs thought to be answered; What loses
its head each morning, and gets it back in the evening? A pillow!
Dear Forest,
At the picnic today, a fast pitch from the baseball pitcher
broke a pitcher, and the pieces flew into a warm pitch patch
that sealed a hole in the walkway! A bowl of squash skidded
off the table and squashed tomatoes in a basket. After I clean
the mess and the rest I will need a rest!
3 And so I seal my letter with a seal
4
to send to you!

REAL ESTATE/HOMES
Delia street cleaning mostly finished
Cont’d from Pg 5
No cheque registers were
ready at the time of council as
well as the bank reconciliation.
“Everything is run, just no
report to show you,” said
Breese.
Mayor David Sisley noted that
this needs to be done online as
well which Breeze said had not
been done yet as she was
unaware.
Beginning next
meeting, Ed
Pedersen of
public works will
be providing a
written report to
council as sitting
in on meetings is
outside of his
normal working
hours.
Breeze
reported
Pedersen has finished
most of the
street cleaning in the village
this week, using new brushes
that were purchased last
month.
New blades and guards are
expected to be coming soon as
well.
When asked about weeds, no
formal written requests have
been made to tackle this situation
but council directed
administration to get a quote
from certified contractors
within the area as well as
Starland County which will be
brought back at the next
meeting.
Lastly, CAO Breese mentioned
there have been some
glitches in the system regarding
automatic billing for utility
bills, stating the ones from May
1 were affected.
