BIG VALLEY COUNCIL
Councillors claims CAO making “rash decisions”
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative reporter
ECA Review
A councillor for the Village of Big
Valley questioned the chief administrative
officer’s (CAO) qualifications
and wanted the administrator to take a
stress management course. That idea
was defeated in a 2 to 1 vote at the Sept.
24 regular meeting of council.
Coun. Harry Nibourg asked that several
additions be made to that
meeting’s agenda, including the topic
of CAO Sandra Schell’s annual
evaluation.
The provincial government’s
Municipal Government Act requires
RCMP confirmed crimes, refuse to press charges, says Nibourg
CAO’s have an annual performance
evaluation.
Coun. Nibourg asked when CAO
Schell’s annual job evaluation was
coming up, if he could get a copy of
Schell’s qualifications and also suggested
all village staff submit
confidential evaluations of Schell’s
performance.
Nibourg stated in order to get a fair
evaluation of Schell’s performance,
confidential appraisals were
necessary.
Deputy Mayor Clark stated he has
seen appraisals like that in the private
sector. He said he’s not a big fan of
anonymous comments but also said
he’d like to see honest, fair feedback.

Page 3
Nibourg made a motion that CAO
Schell take a stress management
course because Schell “has made rash
decisions under pressure and became
emotionally distraught under stressful
situations.”
Coun. Art Tizzard stated he didn’t
understand why Schell’s qualifications
were being discussed and that it
seemed Nibourg still had an axe to
grind.
“You guys hired her,” said Tizzard.
“That was the time to do the
evaluation.”
Nibourg stated more transparency is
needed because Big Valley has never
been transparent enough.
At this point Deputy Mayor German
So Your Business
is Online?
Awesome!
How to get your
online presence noticed?
stated he felt any more discussion on
the CAO’s evaluation should be done in
closed session.
Nibourg’s motion to require the CAO
to take a stress management course
was defeated by a 2 to 1 vote.
Inspection defeated
Coun. Nibourg made a motion that
the village request a provincial government
inspection of the village
administration. Nibourg referred to a
letter the village previously received
from Municipal Affairs noting the
option of requesting an inspection.
The inspection must be approved by
a resolution of council. Nibourg’s
motion was defeated 2 to 1.

2 O ctober 1'20 HANNA/CORONATION/StettLer, AB. ECA REVIEW
Working on pandemic protocols for arena
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative reporter
ECA Review
Town of Bashaw council heard a
report that the municipality is working
on pandemic guidelines that will be in
place so the arena can open for this
winter.
The discussion took place at the regular
meeting of council one day early,
Sept. 16, which was held at the community
centre to meet pandemic
guidelines.
Town Chief Administrative Officer
(CAO) Theresa Fuller reported to
council on the upcoming opening of
the arena.
She stated town staff are still
working on protocols for the reopening,
as pandemic rules such as
social distancing and a 100 person limit
for indoor events must be considered.
RCMP claim
crimes occurred
Cont’d from Pg 1
Coun. Nibourg asked his
fellow councillors if they
were aware of an RCMP
investigation into the
Village of Big Valley administration
regarding
allegations of fraud and
other issues.
German responded by
stating all councillors
received an email form the
CAO noting the RCMP were
investigating after some
allegations were made.
Nibourg responded by
saying he spoke with the
RCMP and the police told
him the investigation confirmed
crimes occurred but
RCMP were not charging
anyone because of the coronavirus
pandemic which,
police claim, would simply
result in the charges being
thrown out of court anyway.
Nibourg stated the case file
was #20201028011.
Road ban
Coun. Tizzard stated he’d
heard complaints from business
owners downtown that
the year-round road ban
placed on Railway Ave. was
hurting business.
Tizzard stated he’d heard
that big trucks stopping in
Big Valley used to support
the business sector better.
Tizzard stated it’s being
felt because business is
already down this year.
However, Tizzard stated he
understood why the ban was
being placed in the spring
when the roads are soft.
Coun. Nibourg stated the
road ban helps protect the
roads from damage.
Animal control clarity
CAO Schell reported to
council on the village’s current
Animal Control bylaw,
which she stated is mostly
concerned with dogs with
one part referring to farm
animals.
Schell stated updating the
bylaw would clarify things
for staff when complaints
come in.
Deputy Mayor German
stated he’s heard complaints
in Big Valley that dog
owners have rules to follow
but cat owners get a free
pass.
Councillors unanimously
agreed to have Schell bring
back proposed amendments
to the animal control bylaw,
possibly including farm animals
and cats.
BASHAW COUNCIL
Fuller also noted pandemic rules
include a limit of 50 people on the ice
surface.
Town Foreman Murray Holroyd
stated that the ice plant start will be
delayed as Nordic Systems have more
work to do and some staff away on
vacation.
It was estimated the start up would
commence Sept. 21.
Tax sale
Fuller reported that a tax recovery
sale of a property within Bashaw
appears to be unnecessary after the
owners signed a payment agreement
with the town.
The CAO noted the owners also
stated that they are interested in
selling the property in question.

disappointed to discover that federal

mechanism.
She provided councillors with a
report stating replacement water
meters, boards at the arena, assessing
the arena’s post and beam structure or
forwarding the funds to a future
project may all apply for the grant
money.
Councillors instructed Fuller to get
quotes for each project and report at a
future meeting.
Arena softness
Staff reported on a section of the
arena wall that will need some work.
“Public Works has discovered a section
of wall within the building that
requires remediation,” stated Fuller’s
report to councillors. It was noted the

Stettler town council turns down rezoning request
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative
reporter
ECA Review
The Town of Stettler
turned down a request from
a developer to change the
zoning of a portion of the
Meadowlands by the Park
subdivision, stating the
request went against established
plans for the area.
The decision was made at
the Sept. 15 regular meeting
of council.
The request to rezone Lot
19, Block 20, Plan 0729463
(4021 – Monarch Way) in
Stettler from owner
Rockwood Land
Development Inc. asked
councillors to approve
rezoning from Residential
Low Density to Residential
General noted director of
Planning and Development
Leann Graham in her
report to council.
Graham explained the
application and recommended
councillors turn it
down.
“The applicant has
requested the rezoning to
accommodate the possible
development of multifamily
housing in way of a duplex
or fourplex similar to those
in the area along 68 Street,”
stated Graham in her report
to council.
“In this particular application
the applicant is
proposing to rezone a single
parcel at the corner of a
block that has a long term plan
to extended as an R1:
Residential Low Density.
“The change from an R1 to
an R2 would allow for higher
densities, the intent of the R1
district is for single family
dwellings on single parcels of
land while the R2 zoning allows
for higher densities such as
duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes
and basement suites on single
parcels.
The increased density has
ramifications to the overall
plan but also to the existing residents
in the area.”
Graham explained the
Meadowlands by the Park Area
Structure Plan (ML ASP) was
approved in 2007 and lays out
plans for the subdivision’s
development in the future.
“Staff has assessed this application
against the provisions
outlined in the ML ASP, the
Town of Stettler Land Use
Bylaw and the Municipal
Development Plan...and (recommend
council) refuse the
Land Use Bylaw Amendment
request.”
Graham stated the reason for
an ASP is to have a plan for
future development, but it was
noted the plan was adopted 13
years years ago and it’s possible
things change in a

ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB OCTOBER 1'20 3
Council moves forward with $100,000 spend
Deputy Mayor of the Village of
Morrin, M’Liss Edwards called a special
meeting for the purpose of
approving the Municipal Stimulus
Program (MSP).
The meeting was held by conference
call on Fri. Sept. 25 at 7 p.m.
Mayor Howard Helton did not
attend.
In an interview with the ECA Review
reporter as to his absence in the
meeting, Mayor Howard Helton stated
the meeting was non-compliant
according to the Municipal
Government Act (MGA), Section 194
(1), and (5), and he did not cast a vote to
hold the meeting.
The section states the “chief elected
official” can call a special council
meeting, stating the purpose, from a
request by a majority of council.
It goes on to state that “no matter
other than that stated in the notice
calling the special council meeting
may be transacted at the meeting”.
The meeting notice stated that the
item of business would be to “discuss
the Municipal Sustainability Initiative
(MSI) grant but later corrected it to
state it was the Municipal Stimulus
Program (MSP) Capital Project.
However, when the agenda arrived,
said Helton, it had other items of business
not listed in the notice of the
meeting.
In a follow-up interview, Deputy
Mayor Edwards stated Sec. 194 (4) in
the MGA states that a special meeting
can be held in less than 24 hours with
no public notice, if at least 2/3rds vote
in favour. Edwards stated the vote was
held by email but did not provide the
emailed vote to the media.
Edwards and Coun. Wilton were in
attendance at the village office for the
Special Meeting with Chief
Administrative Officer (CAO) Annette
Plachner while the public was on
teleconference.
A motion was made to forward the
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to
spend the Municipal Stimulus
Program (MSP) amounting to $50,000
for Morrin to be put towards the village
water plant upgrade.
The plan showed upgrading the duty
pumps, installing
a new regulator
valve with new
piping and a bulk
water truckfill.
Helton
explained to the
ECA Review in an
emailed response
that he was of the
opinion the MSP

MORRIN COUNCIL
lacking in information required by the
government.
He stated the application was
missing actual quotes (2 - 3 required)
with an itemized list in detail, drawings
and technical specifications for
the upgrade.
He also felt that the MSP wasn’t for
replacement of equipment.
“There are just too many anomalies
on this project to allow me to approve
this application as currently presented,”
said Helton.
As far as the bulk water truckfill
included in the application, Helton
noted several anomalies including the
quote was not detailed and was outdated.
There were no costs quoted for
installation and commissioning.
The only estimate council has
received was an outdated quote for the
truckfill for $19,492 from JC Industries
provided by the village’s former
Certified Water Manager, Glen Riep.
Helton expressed his concern that
Riep’s cistern cleaning estimate provided
by Riep was $10,200 which ended
up costing the village $21,700.
Nor did the numbers quoted match
what Riep had previously provided to
council.
Main street water/sewer
Helton concluded that he was of the
opinion the MSP application should
include the deferred revenue from the
MSI Capital in the amount of $790,045
plus the $50,000 to total $840,045 and
make up the application to go toward
the $840,000 main street water/sewer
project.
Helton stated this was a project
known to be in an emergency stage due
to confirmed blockage of the main
sewer which will continue to be an
ongoing cost for emergency services.
Helton was also of the opinion if construction
on the water upgrades in the
current MSP proceeded as of Oct. 31,
2020 (which was part of the application
in front of council at the special
meeting) without council discussion
and the appropriate cost estimates in
place and funds available, the village
would be committing to costs that
would not be funded.
“My goal is to see that the village
receives funding that will be most efficiently
utilized,” concluded Mayor
Helton in his correspondence to the
ECA Review.
$50,00 support for new school
Deputy Mayor and Coun. Wilton also
approved a motion for $50,000 to the
Friends of the Morrin School to be paid
over a period of three years from the
MSI funding.
Julie Robison, representative for the
Friends of the Morrin School had previously
told council they had three
priorities, to include the community,
inspire learning and literacy and promote
inclusivity.
Another motion at the special
meeting was made to donate $200 to the
Morrin School for an award and this
was also approved.
According to the MGA only what is
advertised to the public 24 hours prior
to a special meeting can be addressed
at that special meeting.
Only the MSP was to be discussed at
this special meeting.
Helton stated “To date, to my knowledge,
council has neither received a
has no knowledge of finances for the
village because “we have never
received a bank reconciliation statement
in 2020, actuals-budget (2020)
statement nor the Audited Financial
Statement for 2019. These are resources
that council need to be aware of before
any financial commitments are
determined.”
Municipal Affairs requires that the
2019 Financial Statements must be
approved by council and sent to
Municipal Affairs by Oct. 1, 2020.
“It is sad when administration and
members of council decide to act with
such disregard for the MGA regulations
and without knowledge of the
village’s financial position,” stated
Helton in his response.
“How can we spend money when we
don’t know what money we have to
spend,” said Helton.

4 O ctober 1'20 HANNA/CORONATION/StettLer, AB. ECA REVIEW
Land-use bylaw approved after public hearing
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative
reporter
ECA Review
Village of Alix council
approved amendments to its
land-use bylaw (LUB) Sept. 16
after a public hearing.
The public hearing and regular
council meeting were held
in the community centre to
meet pandemic guidelines.
Village Chief Administrative
Officer Michelle White stated
Mayor Rob Fehr chaired the
public hearing, which included
four members of the public.
None of the four people spoke.
Craig Teal, a planner from
Parkland Community Planning
Services was present to discuss
amendments to the LUB,
including changes to administrative
provisions, general
regulations and land-use
districts.
Results of the Aug. 13 open
house were also presented.
Nobody from the public
opposed the amendments and
no agencies or government
departments had concerns
either.
After the public hearing was
closed, councillors unanimously
approved second and
third reading of the LUB
amendments.
AHS changes
Mayor Fehr gave council a
report on approved changes to
911 dispatch, including Alberta
Health Service’s plan to consolidate
all 911 dispatch in one of
three call centres.
Fehr stated this isn’t the first
time AHS brought up this idea,
including in 2009, 2011, 2013 and
2016 and it’s been shelved every
time it was brought up.
Councillors also read a letter
from City of Red Deer Tara Veer
who is also concerned with the
changes.
ALIX COUNCIL
He stated the village has
serious concerns about how this
consolidation will affect the service
that Alix residents need.
Council approved sending letters
of concern to the premier’s
office, Health ministry, and the
MLA requesting that the decision
be reversed.
Traffic bylaw
Some tweaking of the village’s
Traffic Bylaw was linked
to the Land Use Bylaw (LUB)
amendments.
White explained the LUB
changes allow oversize vehicles
to be parked on private property
in R4 residential areas.
Councillors thus approved a
change to the Traffic Bylaw to
only cover oversize vehicles
parking along public roadways.
Urban chickens
Councillors approved a
change to the village’s Urban
Chicken Bylaw which allows the
village more options when
chicken owners break the
rules.
In her memo to council
White noted, “If
enforcement of
Urban Chicken
Bylaw 430/18 is
done on a person
renting property
and they decide
not to pay the
fine or seizure
costs, the only
further action
toward collection
would be to go to
court.”
Hence, White
suggested a
change to the
bylaw that gives
the village the
option to place
fines or seizure
costs onto the
property owner’s tax roll.
Councillors passed the
amended Urban Chicken
Bylaw.

If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We’d pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried...
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we’ve cried...
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted You.
- Always in our hearts,

everyone in the group is busy planning
for how they’ll use their share.
“Everyone is thrilled about the win

Significant
functional
duplication
Brenda Schimke
ECA Review
It’s a very instructive read, the 101-
page Alberta Health Services
Performance Review that Premier
Kenney is using to cut health care budgets.
Nobody is questioning the need
for restraint and cuts, the debate is the
how and where cuts should be made.
Two comments, in different sections
of the report, gives a good clue. On
page 6, the authors reiterated the
financial and operational efficiencies
gained in 2008 with the move from a
governance model of nine regions to
one consolidated entity—Alberta
Health Services (AHS).
Major items resolved were inequalities
and competition between regions,
accountability and significant reductions
in health care spending. By 1995
per capita spending on health care had
dropped by 17 per cent.
In this most recent report, governance
wasn’t addressed until page 90
even though the conclusions in that
section were eerily similar to those of
2008. The report states, “compared to
other jurisdictions, Alberta has significant
functional duplication”, and that
zone-based silos are beginning to
re-emerge.
Governance inefficiencies should
not come as a surprise to anyone who
has worked in a large organization.
Organizations, as they evolve, add
new functions eventually leading to
power struggles, duplication and
inefficiencies.
Forty-one Primary Care Networks
(PCNs) and 16 Strategic Clinical
Networks (SCNs) were introduced
since 2008 clearly impacting the governance
model. Public health has gained
in importance and technological
advances are revolutionizing our
health services.
The report authors list six areas
where significant functional duplication
between AHS and Alberta Health
is occurring—analytics, public health,
PCNs, SCNs, infrastructure and information
technology.
As well, the special agreement and
relationship with Covenant Health did
not allow AHS to exercise effective
oversight over Covenant Health as a
part of an integrated health system.
Re-engineering governance to weed
out duplication is the first step on the
road to renewal. Reducing the fat in
bureaucracies, curtailing empire
builders and making sense of responsibilities
leads to substantive cost
savings up the chain—not down at the
front-lines where services are directly
impacted. Simply slashing budgets has
the opposite effect—duplication and
empires are maintained and the least
powerful, front-line workers, bear the
brunt of the cuts, as do services.
Even as an outsider, it seems reasonable
that our current two-headed
structure—AHS and Alberta Health—
needs to be re-worked.
On paper, Alberta Health is the
policy arm of government and provides
some level of oversight, whereas
AHS is the deliverer of services. It
seems obvious that PCNs and SCNs
should be solely under AHS’s authority
and Covenant Health be accountable to
the integrated health system and not
run as a ‘free spirit’.
The report recommends Alberta
Health should be focused on systemwide
strategy and priority setting.
With health care making up 43 per
cent of the provincial government’s
total operating costs, I would also
argue its oversight and auditing
responsibilities should be enhanced.
A robust Alberta Health would keep
the Health Minister current on trends
and problems making it unnecessary
to continually waste tax dollars on outside
consultants, another expensive
duplication.
Given that Premier Kenney made no
mention of governance when the
report was released, it is unlikely he
intends to do the hard work of governance
renewal—the cornerstone of
structural efficiency and right-sizing.
Rather, his pursuit of private surgeries
will add even more governance
inefficiencies and competition for
finite resources.
In 2008, former Premier Ralph Klein
took the heat and re-vamped governance.
The results were positive and
their efficiencies lasted almost 10
years.
Unfortunately, Premier Kenney
seems unable to think beyond boom/
bust budgeting, blaming others, and
villainizing doctors and nurses.
Schimke has been through three organizational
re-structures; Syncrude, kept
job; Amoco, lost job; College of the
Rockies, responsible for cutting 20+
positions.

Basic guaranteed
wage overdue
Dear Editor,
A guaranteed minimum wage is
long overdue and with the pandemic
creating so many job losses, it’s the
perfect time to implement it.
Of course, it will likely cause a political
fire storm.
A lot of people will say it will cause
workers to not want to go back to work,
but I think they’re totally wrong.
The basic guaranteed wage is just
that, and most people will want to
work for the finer things in life.
Just post a job with a decent wage
and see how many will apply.
Minimum wage or poverty level jobs
are an insult to people and the pandemic
brought attention to the plight of
people working in the Long Term Care
Homes.
I’m sure that a guaranteed minimum
wage would cut down on crime
and mental health issues
tremendously.
The naysayers will likely be the

people that have always been lucky

steady job and never had to stand in

The economy is always on everybody’s
mind and the billions and
trillions that the big corporations have
don’t fuel the economy.
It’s the money in the hands of the
ordinary citizen that keeps the
economy going. If the people can’t buy
the products in the stores, there
wouldn’t be much sense in producing
them, would there?
Of course, this will need some
thought and probably a tweak or two
after it’s put into use.
I just hope the politicians can do
better on this than they did on getting

ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB OCTOBER 1'20 7
OBITUARIES
Grandchildren brought out the “boy” in Jim
Jim left us in the early
morning on Sept. 11, 2020 in
the Consort Hospital at the
age of 81 years old.
His life began on Feb. 23,
1939 in the Consort Hospital.
He shared his childhood
with his two sisters Marlene
and Nora-May and his mom
and dad, Doug and Eileen.
As a young boy, the family
moved to Tees, Wetaskiwin
and Lacombe.
It was in Wetaskiwin that
Jim began school, but after
coming down with
Rheumatic Fever and losing
six months of schooling, he
repeated Grade 1 joining his
sister Nora-May.
In 1947, the family moved
back to Consort to the John
Tainsh farm and in 1948
Doug and Eileen purchased
the “Bibby Farm” which
was Jim’s home for most of
his life.
He learned to work hard
on the family farm, learning
to get up early and help run
the Consort Dairy which
ran until 1962.
Jim loved to horseback
ride and had his own horse
called “Queenie” adorned
with a saddle, martingale
and bridle which he won in a
draw as a young boy at the
Calgary Stampede.
As a teenager, Jim loved
to dance, took up square
dancing lessons and could
really jive!
Air Cadets was held after
school and Jim loved it. Fred
Bagory was the leader and
Jim really respected him.
He travelled to Abbottsford,
B.C. for Air Cadets summer
camp and earned many
badges and pins including
his wings. He said Cadets is
where he learned to respect
others and also how to be a
leader.
On Sept. 30, 1961, Jim
married Donna Beebe at the
Knox United Church in
Consort, moved to the
family farm and raised
three children: Nonavee,
Palmer and Dawn.
During the next 40 years,
Jim was involved in many
community organizations
such as at the Knox United
Church as the Chair of the
Board of Stewards, a session
member and served on
many committees.
He coached Palmer in
hockey until 16 and under,
was a Boy Scout leader,
enjoyed Kinsmen, K40’s, was
an Arts Alive member and a
4-H leader.
Jim was a Remco
Memorial salesman for 40
years, taking this over from
his grandfather Jim Mudie.
Jim enjoyed playing
hockey, curling, horseshoeing,
playing cards,
dancing, snowmobiling,
Halloweening, being funny
and being a prankster.
Jim loved to farm with his
“green machinery.” He
always said, “There are only
two kinds of farmers, John
Deere farmers and those
who wish they were John
Deere farmers.”
He raised Hereford-cross,
and Charolais cattle and
built up the family farm.
He was an excellent carpenter,
electrician,
mechanic, bookkeeper and
progressive farmer.
He fed cows over at
Schoffs each winter with a
stone boat and horse called
“Pinto” until 1975.
Jim and Donna loved to
camp, travel, boat and fish.
As a family, they travelled
each summer to various
places in
Saskatchewan,
Alberta and BC.
In 1979 Jim and
Donna purchased
a lot at Lake Mara
Properties and set
up camp for good.
There they met
many “forever
friends,” and spent
time fishing,
Tainsh
boating and
playing in the
water.
They started to travel
abroad in the early ’80s, to
places like Hawaii, Mexico,
Las Vegas, Aruba,
Caribbean cruises, Grenada,
Fiji and the Cook Islands.
More “forever friends” were
made.
Later, they bought a timeshare
at Fairmont so their
family could enjoy winter
fun at the ski hill.
In 1997, Jim and Donna
retired from farming but
continued to help out on the
farm for many years.
Grandchildren brought
out the “boy” in Jim again,
as he loved setting up racetracks,
building playhouses,
building farm sets out of
barrels and coffee tins,
playing games, cards and
crokinole.
Probably his favourite
thing to do with his grandchildren
was to drag them
behind the boat on water
skis or tubes trying his best
to drown them! They all
have many stories of fishing
trips and wild rides with
their “Papa.”
Jim lost the love of his life,
Donna on Sept. 5, 2002.
He continued to live in
their home in Consort until
moving to the Lodge in 2016.
There he enjoyed good
friendships and all the
activities.
Students from the Consort
School became dear friends
when they came to learn to
play cards at the Lodge. Jim
loved being with children
and young people and they
loved being with him. Jim
was “fun.”
Jim loved to talk about
history and wartime and
was so proud to be a
Canadian. With that being
said, his licence plate read,
“God made Scots just a wee
bit better.” So….I guess we
could say he was proud to be
a Scottish Canadian!
Jim was an organized
man, keeping his shop, his
desk and any of his spaces
neat and tidy. He was also a
sentimental man, keeping
cards, early letters from
Donna, our childhood creations,
newspaper clippings,
land information and travel
memorabilia.
Jim was a family man,
and this was evident by his
life’s choices. Relationships
were important to Jim and
this was obvious as he met
and greeted those around
him.
Jim touched many lives
by showing great compassion,
sharing his humour
and the ability to listen to
others. He will be greatly
missed by his family and
friends.
Jim Tainsh is
survived by his
loving family, children:
Nonavee
(Brent) Kary of
Veteran, Palmer
Tainsh of Consort
and Dawn (Larry)

Thank-you
As a light breeze blew, on
a smoky harvest day, with
hundreds of geese soaring
overhead and combines
ready in the fields, 28 of our
family members along with
Rev Kwon and wife, Miran,
gathered at the Lake Road
Cemetery in honour of our
father, Jim Tainsh.
Regrets included:
Grandson, Scott (Kiley)
Kary, children, Harper and
Beckham of Whitefish,
Montana, USA.
Waiting for us at our parent’s
memorial, cradling our
Dad’s urn, was a green John
Deere wagon filled with
dozens of roses, and a small
John Deere toy tractor as
the centrepiece.
As we gathered to our
seats, Piper, Katrina
Zimmerman echoed the
bagpipes in the background.
We recited The New
Creed, the 23rd Psalm, The
Lord’s Prayer, sang the
hymn, “I, The Lord of the
Sea & Sky”, and listened to
Rev. Kwon’s message, and
with all this, we embraced
the holiness of such a special
moment.
The prairie grass, the
many memorials, the garter
snakes, the birds, and the
smell of fall, made us feel at
home and close to God.
Our family has been
blessed with a wonderful set
of parents who loved, protected
and who have helped
us in many ways. We thank
all of you who have been
part of our Dad’s life.
We thank those who have
sat and visited with him,
and phoned him over the
years, treating him with
kindness and love. He

Harvest For Kids sending over
36,500 children from developing
countries to summer camp
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
A small act of kindness can
go a long way. An even bigger
act, such as that seen a couple of
miles north of Three Hills, Alta.
on Sept. 19, has gone even farther.
Around the world in fact.
Harvest for Kids, a branch of
a faith-based organization
called Children’s Camp
International, has fields all over
Western Canada
that contribute to
this fund each
year including
three in
Manitoba, five in
Saskatchewan,
and one in
Alberta.
For Three Hills
specifically, they
have been at it for
three years now
including 2020.
There were 21 combines in
action taking canola off an
anonymous donor’s field along
Highway 21.
“It’s amazing. The farming
community when you get to
know the farmers – their DNA –
pulling an event like this
together has been pretty incredible
to see the hearts of the
farming community,” said
David Theissen, president of
Children’s Camp International
who attended the event first
hand.
“I know one farmer that came
to the field that day still has 80
per cent of his crop out. He
came and dropped what he was
doing to come and make a difference
in the lives of kids.”
Turn to
Whopping,
Pg 12
A total of 21 combines
ripped up and down
a canola field north
of Three Hills near
the Cargill elevator
on Sat. Sept. 19. Over
36,500 children from
developing countries
will be sent to summer
camp after $55,000+
was raised in support
of Children’s Camp
International.

ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB OCTOBER 1'20 9
AGRICULTURE / REAL ESTATE
STARLAND COUNTY COUNCIL
Natural gas company seeks new payment plan
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Pine Cliff Energy, an Alberta based
oil and gas company who is a large
contributor to Starland County’s
economy, approached the municipality
with hopes of striking a new deal in
terms of payment of linear taxes.
Council met with people high up in
the company via video conference on
Wed. Sept. 23.
Terry McNeill, CEO of the company,
stated a few times this configuration
was not about getting a ‘hand out’ but
rather streamlining money in an
easier fashion.
From August until the end of
December, Pine Cliff has 13.2 million
in gross (12.0 million net) of municipal
taxes due to be paid.
They intend to ‘meet all future obligations’
but have proposed to make 12
equal payments to pay their tax balance
of $825,505.50 and that Starland
waives all penalties for the 2020 year.
McNeill noted that they have never
missed any scheduled payments but
with shrinking investment in the
Canadian oil and gas sector, they lost
access to its banking syndicate which
means they operate on available cash.
Coun. John Rew asked if next year
would be promising in terms of commodity
pricing to which McNeill said
yes, “It’s going in the right direction.
We are encouraged where it is headed.
“Fingers crossed for all of us”.
No decision has been made at this
time for this company by council as
they will speak to it at a future
meeting.
Pine Cliff Energy owns operations in
Medicine Hat, Morrin and Viking.
MSP application
As part of CAO Bremer’s report, she
noted Starland has officially submitted
their Municipal Stimulus Program
(MSP) Capital Program application.
This application is for MSP funding
for replacement of a portion of the CLV
Waterline, specifically approximately
625 meters of 6” steel pipe coming out
of the Drumheller Valley to the CLV
Regional Water System.
As this portion of waterline has
experienced many leaks and breaks
over the past several years, if
approved, it will most certainly reduce
their costs in regards to repairs and
the cost of lost water.

Photography completed his contract
with the county for producing a video,
photographs and aerial photos
throughout the county.
The visually appealing video using
smooth drone footage of different locations
across the county.
His goal with the video was to showcase
Starland County, everything that
makes the county who they are and
what the area has to offer.
“He wanted to capture our farming
industry from seeding to harvest and
the good work that the farmers do, the
amazing landscapes and rustic buildings
that we have, the crops in bloom,
all of the tourist hot-spots, and our
hamlets to show the great places we
have,” said Bremer.
They intend to showcase this video
on the Starland County website and
facebook page, as well as on a TV
screen in the office foyer.
This video was compacted into two
to three minutes for that purpose.
MAP Review
Every five years, the province of
Alberta selects random municipalities
to undergo a Municipality
Accountability Program (MAP)
Review.
This year, Starland was selected to
have this done virtually and given a
few items to sort out.
It was highlighted by CAO Bremer
that many of their files burned in the
2018 office fire so some things they
were naturally unable to complete
which Municipal Affairs agreed would
be fine as long as they tried to replace
the documents as best they could.
One of the items the council dealt
with on the list was for determining
where the official county building is as

Upon site inspection of the lots it was
determined the lots were not in compliance
with the County of Stettler
Nuisance Bylaw.
The owner of the four lots in question
belong to the same person
residing in Calgary.
“A Remedial Order was sent to the
property owner to bring the lots into
compliance. On July 29, 2020 a subsequent
inspection was conducted
finding no change to the condition of
all the lots.
“On July 30 a Municipal
Government Act Order under Section
546 of the Municipal Government Act
was sent to the property owner.
“On Aug. 20, 2020 a letter from the
property owner was received by protective
services outlining that he is

Hardman provided councillors with
a copy of the letter sent to the property
owners in question, Filippo & Yolanda
Difranco, dated July 30, 2020.
At the meeting, staff stated this incident
included only mowing of grass
and hence didn’t need things like court
orders.
Also, it was noted, staff need a
council resolution to enter onto the
properties in question.
Coun. Les Stulberg stated situations
like this are a hazard to other residents,
as once it dries up in the fall tall
grass like that becomes a serious fire
hazard.
Councillors unanimously gave the

Fire engines for Acme, Carbon, Trochu, Torrington

Kneehill County’s
regional fire services were
further enhanced with the
delivery of four brand new
fire trucks to the fire halls
in the Town of Trochu,
Village of Carbon, Village of
Acme, and Hamlet of
Torrington on September
28, 2020.
The engines will be fully
operational and in service
within the next couple of
weeks.
Prior to 2020, Kneehill
County owned 100 per cent
of these engines through a
Master Fire Agreement
between all municipalities.
The fire engines were previously
funded solely
through Kneehill County’s
Capital Equipment

considered the replacement
schedule of 20 years for a
fire automotive apparatus,
determined by Fire
Underwriters and considered
in fire insurance rate
calculations.

they were able to donate a whopping
$55,000+ which equates to over 36,500
children getting sent to summer camp
in places such as Brazil, Cambodia,
India and Kenya.
All of the combines adorned a flag
from one of those countries as well.
Last year, they were able to send
over two million kids. At the end of
October though, they will have
reached another 500,000 in 2020 alone.

The Acme fire engine was due
