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.

and Besuijen voting in favour,

Gilliat, Fehr and Cole

opposing.

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

Oyen, Jenner, Buffalo,

Special Areas. The difference

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

Mayor Sisley is hoping higher

some relief for foundations

like this one but said it’s ‘one of

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.

PRAIRIEVIEW

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

Mayor Robert Blagen.

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,

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,

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.

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.
