<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

Kneehill County council granted<br />

requests to boost water output for two<br />

residents. The decisions were made at<br />

the Sept. 28 regular meeting of council.<br />

John McKiernan, manager of environmental<br />

services, presented both<br />

requests.<br />

The first came from the Churchill<br />

district and the applicant name had<br />

been removed from the engineering<br />

report.<br />

“A resident has requested an<br />

increase to water volume by engaging<br />

in a water model to see if the increase<br />

in volume is feasible,” stated<br />

McKiernan’s first report.<br />

“WSP was used as the engineering<br />

firm to run the water model and concluded<br />

that the current service is able<br />

to be increased to 8 igpm with minimal<br />

effect on the system.”<br />

McKiernan referred to engineering<br />

firm WSP’s report on water flow modelling.<br />

“As per your submitted request<br />

we completed a water model for the<br />

service connection at NW 15-28-20-<br />

W4M,” stated the report signed<br />

byTarek Saman.<br />

“Based on a maximum flow of 1700 l/<br />

day, the model indicates the ability to<br />

meet a flow of 8.0 Igpm at 81 psi.<br />

“The service can be installed with<br />

minimal effect on the system. Our<br />

model is set up that all service connections<br />

installed whether tied in or not<br />

will pull maximum daily demand<br />

during the assessment of a proposed<br />

additional service.”<br />

McKiernan added that Kneehill<br />

County has a policy in place for<br />

requests such as this and includes the<br />

stipulation the applicant must pay a<br />

fee of $<strong>10</strong>,000 per riser which is<br />

described in the master rates bylaw as<br />

“Approved Increase For Rural Water<br />

Volume.”<br />

Coun. Debbie Penner asked if this<br />

was an existing service, to which<br />

McKiernan answered “Yes.”<br />

Penner asked if this request is<br />

granted, can more residents in that<br />

area request the same increase?<br />

McKiernan answered there aren’t<br />

that many residents in that area and<br />

their requests would also have to be<br />

put through a water model.<br />

Councillors unanimously approved<br />

the Churchill water system increase<br />

request.<br />

Selkirk request<br />

Councillors also read about a<br />

request from a resident in the Selkirk<br />

water system.<br />

“A ratepayer has requested an<br />

increase to water volume by engaging<br />

in a water model to see if the increase<br />

in volume is feasible,” stated<br />

McKiernan’s second report.<br />

“WSP was used as the engineering<br />

firm to run the water model and concluded<br />

that the current service is able<br />

to be increased to 8 igpm with minimal<br />

effect on the system.”<br />

It was stated during the discussion<br />

this application came from Sunterra<br />

Farms Greenhouse.<br />

McKiernan noted this applicant<br />

would also be required to pay the<br />

aforementioned fee.<br />

ALIX COUNCIL<br />

Resident suggests village look into stock lake with fish<br />

Stu Salkeld<br />

Local Journalism Initiative reporter<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

A resident of the Village of Alix suggested<br />

the municipality look into<br />

stocking the similarly named nearby<br />

body of water with fish.<br />

The resident’s proposal for Alix<br />

Lake was presented to village council<br />

at their regular meeting Oct. 5.<br />

Mayor Rob Fehr presented Alix resident<br />

Tyson Beebe’s letter during the<br />

correspondence section of the agenda.<br />

Beebe and Fehr has discussed the idea<br />

of stocking Alix Lake with fish.<br />

“Being an election year, I had a question<br />

for you,” stated Beebe’s initial<br />

email dated Sept. <strong>14</strong>. “As a youngster<br />

growing up five minutes to the east of<br />

town I recall Alix Lake having excellent<br />

rainbow trout fishing<br />

opportunities, currently the fishing<br />

regulations are saying that there is<br />

northern pike in there which as I’m<br />

sure you are aware there isn’t.<br />

“I believe the lake is completely dead<br />

of fish, to my knowledge, anyways.<br />

“I’m sure this question has come up<br />

before, but why can’t we make the lake<br />

back into a fishing lake, whether it be<br />

trout or pike (preferably trout).<br />

Even if the town had to sink some<br />

money into infrastructure such as aeration<br />

and fish stocking, I believe that<br />

year-round the town would benefit<br />

from this (financially with) food,<br />

tackle, gas etc.”<br />

Fehr responded by agreeing it’s a<br />

great idea, but financial cost and safety<br />

risk factors have to be taken into<br />

account.<br />

“Being an avid fisherman myself, I<br />

<br />

understand where you’re coming<br />

from,” stated Fehr in his response. “I<br />

asked questions as well about the history<br />

of the lake and learned the<br />

following:<br />

“Fish and Game stocked it every<br />

spring with rainbow trout. Due to its<br />

depth, winter kill would cause these<br />

species to last until mid to late<br />

December which at that point, they<br />

were netted.<br />

“Aeration was utilized off and on for<br />

a number of years with no change. At<br />

one point whitefish and pike were<br />

introduced from Parlby Creek with<br />

poor results.<br />

“Open ice was caused in some areas<br />

due to aeration being utilized.<br />

Apparently this concerned a number<br />

of citizens and user groups, as they<br />

were concerned about personal safety<br />

on the lake in the wintertime.<br />

“In speaking to Fish and Game in<br />

2011 they indicated to me they have no<br />

plans restocking the lake,” stated<br />

Mayor Fehr.<br />

“On top of that the biologist I spoke<br />

to a year or so later suggested it likely<br />

wouldn’t be feasible either.<br />

“While I would love to see fish in<br />

that lake it would be a rather expensive<br />

endeavour if Fish and Game isn’t on<br />

board,” added the mayor.<br />

Beebe responded thusly:<br />

“I, as well as my fellow neighbours<br />

would love to see fish put in there. I<br />

hope you will push for this opportunity<br />

and take serious consideration into<br />

seeing what can be accomplished.”<br />

Councillors discussed the idea.<br />

It was mentioned some aeration<br />

infrastructure at other lakes<br />

requires substantial labour to keep it<br />

PAINTEARTH COUNCIL<br />

Paintearth, Castor,<br />

Coronation strike<br />

agreement for recreation<br />

Terri Huxley<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

At County of Paintearth’s latest<br />

council meeting on Tues. Oct. 5,<br />

leaders from Castor and Coronation<br />

were present to sign an agreement<br />

focused on recreation to share the<br />

costs of operating the recreational<br />

facilities and providing the recreational<br />

programs and services<br />

provided.<br />

Two agreements were signed following<br />

a motion made by county<br />

councillors to enter them – one for<br />

Castor and one for Coronation.<br />

One outlining portion of the agreement<br />

states that if there is any year<br />

that the operating costs of the recreational<br />

facilities exceed revenues<br />

received, the town and county agree to<br />

fund that operating deficit.<br />

“We covered a lot of ground,” stated<br />

Castor Mayor Richard Elhard. “It’s in<br />

our best interest to be as efficient as we<br />

can in the interest of all parties<br />

including the county.”<br />

“The way the agreement is structured<br />

now - it steps away from a<br />

specific dollar amount for operational<br />

costs,” explained Chief Administrative<br />

Officer (CAO) Michael Simpson. “The<br />

potential support is handcuffed to<br />

their [Castor and Coronation] own<br />

means to deliver.<br />

He noted that the county and<br />

towns are funding the potential as<br />

they will now split the cost 50/50 as<br />

both parties have roughly the same<br />

number of users.<br />

Elhard added that the conversations<br />

that have led to these agreements give<br />

county council an idea of how large of<br />

a deficit the towns can run when it<br />

comes to recreational facilities.<br />

The agreements take effect January<br />

1, 2022.<br />

Castor Bus Society appointment<br />

Administration posed the question<br />

of whether to have a councillor sit on<br />

the recently formed Castor and<br />

Community Bus Society board.<br />

Council, after discussion, felt the<br />

best option is to have someone be<br />

appointed as a representative to not<br />

only help in decision making at this<br />

level but also bring word back to the<br />

county if there are any questions or<br />

requests for support.<br />

Coun. Diane Elliott shared that the<br />

similar Coronation board meets once<br />

every three months as they are fortunate<br />

to have an excellent coordinator.<br />

She added that in the case of Castor, it<br />

would be valuable to have a<br />

representative.<br />

CAO Simpson added that the Castor<br />

Bus Society has formed as a means to<br />

up fundraising including the ability to<br />

host a casino or other endeavours in<br />

light of increased insurance costs.<br />

Coronation’s bus board has a deal<br />

with the town where insurance is run<br />

through the town for cheaper rates and<br />

the town also donates $5,000 annually<br />

to support its function.<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

Youngstown’s mayor, Robert Blagen,<br />

was notified of winning a prestigious<br />

provincial award presented by<br />

Alberta’s Urban Municipalities<br />

Association (AUMA) at<br />

Youngstown’s latest council<br />

meeting held on Tues. Oct.<br />

5.<br />

At the upcoming fall convention<br />

to be held in<br />

Edmonton, Blagen will be<br />

handed the award after<br />

serving 40+ years as a<br />

years or more.<br />

Main street upgrade study<br />

Jennifer Koppe of Studio 818 has<br />

been working closely with the Village<br />

of Youngstown to establish a vision<br />

and future development of Main<br />

Street.<br />

In particular, the green space beside<br />

the Small World Cafe, the Community<br />

Hall and park beside the village office<br />

in an effort to spruce up the area to be<br />

more inviting for visitors.<br />

Residents were polled on which<br />

types of styles would work best which<br />

Koppe estimated to have contacted and<br />

“It’s just not feasible,” said Fehr.<br />

Councillors accepted the letter as<br />

information.<br />

gotten word from at least two-thirds of<br />

the community.<br />

“It wasn’t from a lack of effort,”<br />

acknowledged Chief Administrative<br />

Officer (CAO) Emma Garlock.<br />

Results were telling as many people<br />

preferred treed streetscapes with<br />

ample lighting, benches, etc. as<br />

well as unique illustrations<br />

such as historic mural paintings<br />

on the community hall to<br />

show the community’s rich<br />

heritage.<br />

With results now in place,<br />

Studio 818 will provide smaller<br />

manageable projects as the village’s<br />

capital plan allows, as<br />

well as an umbrella timeline<br />

for implementation within the<br />

next couple of months.<br />

Senate election<br />

CAO Garlock shared with council<br />

about the village’s plan for the<br />

upcoming senate election and referendum<br />

on Mon. Oct. 18.<br />

Three people including Garlock will<br />

be working for 12 hours at the community<br />

hall to facilitate and answer any<br />

questions.<br />

She estimated the total amount for<br />

rent, ads and supplies to be between<br />

$500 and $750.<br />

Council passed a motion to pay $30<br />

per hour or $360 for each individual<br />

facilitator.

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

Bashaw town council waived almost<br />

$800 in penalties for a property owner<br />

who missed the July 31 tax deadline.<br />

The decision was made at the Oct. 7<br />

forgive the $782.89 in penalties by<br />

noting he had just purchased the business<br />

in question.<br />

“...we took...over July long weekend,<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

The Village of Alix<br />

will send a letter of concern<br />

to the provincial<br />

government requesting<br />

a review of a nearby<br />

intersection’s safety<br />

after a resident voiced<br />

concern about it.<br />

The decision was<br />

made after the resident<br />

appeared at the Oct. 5<br />

regular council meeting.<br />

Alix resident Chelsea<br />

Giesbrecht spoke to<br />

council about her concerns<br />

over the provincial<br />

intersection on the east<br />

side of Alix which<br />

includes the east-west<br />

primary Hwy. 12 and<br />

north-south Sec. Hwy.<br />

601.<br />

Secondary highways<br />

usually have a stop sign<br />

and must yield the rightof-way<br />

to primary<br />

highways, which is the<br />

case here.<br />

Giesbrecht’s original<br />

letter to Lacombe-<br />

Ponoka MLA Ron Orr<br />

and Alberta<br />

Transportation, which<br />

she provided to councillors,<br />

read: “...I am<br />

writing this in hopes to<br />

start the process of<br />

having a review done on<br />

getting a highway speed<br />

limit decrease and attention<br />

signage such as<br />

‘important intersection<br />

ahead’ posted, in concerns<br />

with Sec. Hwy. 601<br />

and Hwy. 12.<br />

“Over the course of<br />

the 15 years that I have<br />

lived in the Village of<br />

Alix the intersection of<br />

Hwy. 12 and 601 has been<br />

an intersection of many<br />

serious car accidents,<br />

some resulting in<br />

fatalities.<br />

“On average our Alix<br />

Fire and Medical<br />

Department attends to<br />

three plus accidents at<br />

that intersection per<br />

year. This is substantially<br />

high and very<br />

concerning.<br />

“I have spoken with<br />

our fire chief and many<br />

times these accidents are<br />

caused by people not<br />

seeing the stop signs<br />

while driving on the 601<br />

highway and blowing<br />

through the intersection,<br />

which then has<br />

those accounts.<br />

“My wife went to the town office...<br />

mid-July to figure out our new property<br />

taxes and utilities within the<br />

town.<br />

“To my understanding, the town<br />

needed a land title in our name to proceed<br />

with putting it all forward.<br />

“Now, fast-forwarding past July 31<br />

we received a letter in the mail saying<br />

that we hand’t paid our property taxes<br />

for the meat shop in <strong>2021</strong> and that a 12<br />

per cent or $782.89 penalty was added<br />

to our notice,” stated the property<br />

owner.<br />

Fuller noted in her report the property<br />

owner came in before the tax<br />

deadline to talk about utilities for tax<br />

roll 000708 but didn’t pay the tax bill.<br />

“Administration acknowledges the<br />

owner came into the office prior to the<br />

payment deadline of July 31,” stated<br />

Fuller.<br />

ALIX COUNCIL<br />

those driving...east or west colliding<br />

at <strong>10</strong>0 plus km/hr.”<br />

“In April of this year I had<br />

written a letter to our MLA in<br />

hopes to start the process of<br />

having the intersection of Hwy.<br />

#12 and Sec. Hwy. #601 reviewed<br />

for a speed decrease and ‘important<br />

intersection ahead’ signage<br />

placed,” stated Giesbrecht in a<br />

letter to council.<br />

Mayor Rob Fehr stated the<br />

number of actual collisions<br />

doesn’t include the substantial<br />

number of close calls that also<br />

occur in that intersection.<br />

Coun. Tim Besuijen stated he<br />

doesn’t understand how traffic<br />

coming off Sec. Hwy. #601<br />

misses stop signs, but does<br />

“They came in requesting to change<br />

the utility account into their name.<br />

They were informed the utilities are<br />

changed once the title transfer has<br />

been received.<br />

“The business owner requested to<br />

pay their taxes and then realized they<br />

did not have their cheque book with<br />

them. They indicated plans to return<br />

with their cheque book and provide<br />

payment,” noted the CAO, who added<br />

that the property owner never<br />

returned.<br />

Once the deadline was missed and<br />

the penalty applied, the property<br />

owner contacted town staff and<br />

requested the penalty be removed.<br />

Fuller told them town staff don’t have<br />

the authority to waive penalties and<br />

only town council can do that.<br />

The property owner’s letter noted<br />

they had paid the entire tax bill of<br />

$6,524.08 and would like the almost<br />

Fugitive arrested near Byemoor<br />

Submitted<br />

Vigilant residents of Stettler<br />

County near Byemoor alerted Stettler<br />

RCMP on Thurs. Oct. 7 of suspicious<br />

persons on Sec. Hwy. 589.<br />

Responding investigators located a<br />

B.C. female, 25-year-old Andreaha<br />

Dorigo near a late model GMC Sierra<br />

pick-up that was determined to be<br />

stolen.<br />

Further investigation led to<br />

locating and arresting the second<br />

individual, a male, Christopher<br />

Bouchard, (38) of no fixed address.<br />

Stettler investigators were supported<br />

by a Fish & Wildlife Officer<br />

RCMP<br />

and a member of the Central Alberta<br />

District Crime Reduction Team (CAD<br />

CRU).<br />

The investigation revealed that<br />

Bouchard was wanted on arrest warrants<br />

out of multiple jurisdictions and<br />

the truck had recently been stolen out<br />

of B.C.<br />

The pair are facing numerous property<br />

and weapons related charges and<br />

have been ordered held in custody<br />

after a Judicial interim release was<br />

conducted.<br />

The Stettler RCMP members were<br />

successful in this investigation as a<br />

result of the cooperation of the<br />

Stettler County residents who<br />

reported the suspicious activity.<br />

This allowed the police to respond<br />

quickly and engage enforcement partners<br />

from Fish & Wildlife and CAD<br />

CRU to assist in the apprehension and<br />

processing of the recovered weapons<br />

and stolen property.<br />

“This kind of success is realized<br />

when the public and the police work<br />

together in combatting crime,” said<br />

Staff Sgt. Bruce Holliday –<br />

Detachment Commander for Stettler<br />

Detachment.<br />

understand the intersection has<br />

a lot of collisions. “It is bad,”<br />

said Besuijen.<br />

Giesbrecht suggested the<br />

speed limit coming out of Alix<br />

not be increased to <strong>10</strong>0 km/hr<br />

until after passing through the<br />

intersection in question, and<br />

that incoming westbound traffic<br />

have a lower 70 km/hr speed<br />

limit before entering the same<br />

intersection.<br />

Councillors unanimously<br />

agreed through resolution to<br />

instruct Chief Administrative<br />

Officer (CAO) Michelle White to<br />

write letters of support for<br />

Giesbrecht’s request to both<br />

MLA Orr and Alberta<br />

Transportation.<br />

The Village of Alix is concerned about this intersection<br />

on the east side of town. <strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong>/Google Maps<br />

$800 in penalties waived.<br />

“I would like to maintain a strong<br />

relationship within the community<br />

while we change over to our new business<br />

and hopefully solve this issue the<br />

correct way,” stated the property<br />

owner.<br />

Coun. Rosella Peterman stated normally<br />

she wouldn’t consider waiving<br />

property tax penalties but she recognized<br />

this situation involved brand<br />

new business owners who may have<br />

made an honest mistake.<br />

Coun. Rob McDonald agreed, adding<br />

that it didn’t appear the property<br />

owner was lax but rather the situation<br />

was caused by an oversight.<br />

Both Mayor Penny Shantz and Coun.<br />

Darren Pearson both said they were<br />

fine with waiving the penalties.<br />

Councillors unanimously passed a<br />

resolution forgiving the tax penalties<br />

mentioned above for tax roll 000708.<br />

Flagstaff Regional<br />

Services Society<br />

(FRESS) to be formed.”<br />

In July of <strong>2021</strong>,<br />

Forestburg previously<br />

agreed to extend the<br />

agreements until<br />

October <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

The County has asked<br />

for an extension to the<br />

agreements until Dec. 31,<br />

<strong>2021</strong>.<br />

Council agreed to<br />

approve the extension of<br />

the Regional Fire Chief’s<br />

Agreement and Fire<br />

Services Agreement as<br />

per Flagstaff County’s<br />

request for a period of<br />

three months until Dec.<br />

31, <strong>2021</strong> and that the<br />

agreement be terminated<br />

immediately and without<br />

the requirement of<br />

written notice at the time<br />

that the Flagstaff<br />

Regional Emergency<br />

Services Society absorbs<br />

the associated contracted<br />

services.<br />

Utility rates adjusted<br />

As part of the annual<br />

budgeting process,<br />

administration reviewed<br />

the costs related to water,<br />

sewer, garbage and fire<br />

services and brought forward<br />

Bylaw 8:<strong>2021</strong> Utility<br />

Rates Bylaw in an effort<br />

to ensure that utility<br />

expenses are fully costrecovered<br />

within utility<br />

rates.<br />

Administration recommended<br />

a three per<br />

cent increase to the<br />

water and sewer basic<br />

charges and the usage<br />

rates but keep the garbage<br />

fee at $31.<strong>10</strong>/month<br />

and the fire services<br />

remain at<br />

$12.05/month<br />

which council<br />

found favourable.<br />

Chief<br />

Administrative<br />

Officer (CAO)<br />

Dwight Dibben<br />

added that customers<br />

will see<br />

an approximate<br />

increase of $1.05<br />

per month to<br />

customers.<br />

Administration<br />

also took a look at<br />

the gas utility<br />

operations and<br />

rates for the<br />

municipalityowned<br />

natural<br />

gas system.<br />

They recommended<br />

a three<br />

per cent increase<br />

in the monthly<br />

infrastructure fee<br />

and the monthly<br />

consumption fee,<br />

equating to an increase<br />

of $1.20 per month for<br />

customers.<br />

Administration also<br />

recommended the Gas<br />

Capital Reserve fee<br />

remain at .20/Gj.<br />

Council passed a<br />

motion to accept administration’s<br />

recommendation.<br />

Policy and<br />

Procedures <strong>Review</strong><br />

Administration has<br />

been continuing its<br />

scheduled reviews of<br />

existing policies and procedures<br />

concerning<br />

Village of Forestburg<br />

operations.<br />

The recommended<br />

changes to the<br />

Remuneration Policy<br />

and Annual Payments to<br />

the Mayor, Deputy<br />

Mayor and Council will<br />

increase the annual<br />

budget by an amount of<br />

$2,070 per year.<br />

The annual costs of<br />

recommended changes<br />

to expense rates and the<br />

inclusion of Preparatory<br />

Time as an eligible<br />

expense cannot be precisely<br />

calculated in<br />

advance as the number<br />

of meetings, conventions,<br />

seminars and training<br />

sessions for 2022 have not<br />

yet been discussed or<br />

determined.<br />

A forecast following<br />

the Organizational<br />

Meeting in October will<br />

be calculated for council’s<br />

deliberations as a<br />

part of the 2022 Budget<br />

<strong>Review</strong> Process.<br />

Council accepted<br />

administration recommendations<br />

aside from<br />

one small portion in that<br />

they wished to keep the<br />

Question and Answer<br />

period which allows residents<br />

the opportunity to<br />

engage in conversation<br />

with council if they<br />

attend council meetings.<br />

Parkland Library<br />

budget<br />

Administration<br />

received Parkland<br />

Regional Library’s 2022<br />

budget. No changes were<br />

made so council passed a<br />

motion to accept the<br />

budget, accepting a per<br />

capita requisition of $8.55<br />

in 2022 totalling<br />

$7,481.25.<br />

Electric Franchise Fee<br />

Forestburg council<br />

had the choice to up the<br />

2022 ATCO Electric<br />

annual franchise fee for<br />

the community from 11<br />

per cent to 11.33 per cent<br />

to account for inflation.<br />

After discussion,<br />

council agreed to keep<br />

the franchise fee at 11 per<br />

cent, acknowledging that<br />

they increased the fee<br />

last year.<br />

All revenues received<br />

from Franchise Fees are<br />

directed to General<br />

Revenue and will assist<br />

in offsetting the potential<br />

tax rate increases necessary<br />

when Council<br />

contemplates the draft<br />

2022.<br />

Administration anticipates<br />

$1<strong>14</strong>,3<strong>10</strong> in revenue.<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

Town of Stettler council<br />

approved a property owner’s<br />

request to split and merge a<br />

mobile home lot with two<br />

nearby ones. T<br />

he decision was made at the<br />

Oct. 5 regular meeting of<br />

council.<br />

Councillors<br />

read a request for<br />

subdivision and<br />

consolidation<br />

written by Leann<br />

Graham, director<br />

of planning and<br />

development, and<br />

presented by Greg<br />

Switenky, chief<br />

administrative<br />

officer (CAO).<br />

The request was<br />

filed by 123911<br />

Alberta Ltd. for<br />

Lot 3, 4 and 5,<br />

block 1, plan<br />

1321364 which was<br />

also described in<br />

the report as 4905,<br />

4907 and 4909 – 43<br />

Street in Stettler.<br />

“The applicant<br />

is proposing to<br />

subdivide lot 4,<br />

block 1, plan<br />

1321364 to create<br />

two separate parcels<br />

and<br />

subsequently consolidate<br />

the north<br />

half of the newly<br />

subdivided parcel<br />

(Lot 4) with lot 5,<br />

block 1, plan<br />

1321364 and the<br />

south half of (Lot<br />

4) with lot 3, block<br />

1, plan 1321364,”<br />

stated Graham’s<br />

report.<br />

“The proposed<br />

subdivision is to<br />

accommodate for<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong>, your #1 news source<br />

in east central Alberta<br />

two larger residential mobile<br />

home lots.<br />

“While the applicant has<br />

applied for a subdivision and<br />

consolidation of the parcels at<br />

4905, 4907 and 4909 43rd Street<br />

the applicant has also applied<br />

for a development permit at 4905<br />

43rd Street (one of the proposed<br />

newly subdivided parcels) for a<br />

2012 mobile home which<br />

received Municipal Planning<br />

Commission (MPC) approval on<br />

Sept. 9, <strong>2021</strong>.”<br />

Switenky stated it appears the<br />

owner of the middle lot wants to<br />

split it in two and combine it<br />

with the north and south lots.<br />

Graham noted town staff<br />

assessed the proposal against<br />

the Municipal Government Act,<br />

subdivision and development<br />

regulations, Intermunicipal<br />

Development Plan, Municipal<br />

Town of Stettler council approved a property owner’s request to split and merge a mobile<br />

Lazy governance<br />

Brenda Schimke<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />

We’re going to have a chance to exercise<br />

direct democracy on October 18,<br />

but it will be a very unsatisfying exercise.<br />

For our First Nations there will<br />

be no polls on reserves, and in electoral<br />

districts like the County of<br />

Paintearth, where all municipal and<br />

school board positions are acclaimed,<br />

there’s only one poll in Castor.<br />

Two of the three referendum questions<br />

are federal jurisdiction. Given<br />

how Albertans react every time the<br />

feds touch their toes into provincial<br />

jurisdiction, it’s hard to understand<br />

what the point of<br />

adding senate<br />

elections and an<br />

“<br />

equalization<br />

question to the<br />

ballet. Especially<br />

at a time we’ve<br />

needed the<br />

Armed Forces,<br />

Red Cross and<br />

other provinces<br />

to save us from a<br />

Premier unable<br />

to understand a<br />

pandemic.<br />

Of the 13<br />

Senate candidates<br />

running,<br />

there are perhaps<br />

two<br />

independents,<br />

with decades of public service, who<br />

may be considered by the Prime<br />

Minister. But be assured, putting your<br />

vote towards any of the six candidates<br />

sponsored by the UPC or PCC is a complete<br />

waste.<br />

One of few wise decisions Prime<br />

Minister Trudeau made in Office was<br />

to kick out all Liberal Senators from<br />

his Caucus and make them<br />

Independents. Subsequently, every<br />

new Senator appointed has been an<br />

Independent.<br />

Without a major constitutional<br />

change, which is all but impossible, the<br />

Liberal government determined if all<br />

Senators sat as independents they<br />

could better perform their role to represent<br />

regions of the country, not a<br />

political boss in the House of<br />

Commons.<br />

On occasion, it has certainly made<br />

the Prime Minister’s job much more<br />

complicated, with many more delays<br />

and amendments to proposed legislation,<br />

but good democracy is messy. The<br />

more voices, the better the legislation.<br />

Unfortunately, the Conservative Party<br />

still prefers political operatives in the<br />

Senate rather than independent individuals<br />

providing a ‘sober second<br />

thought’.<br />

The equalization question is just<br />

cheap political theatre based on lies by<br />

an unengaged Premier who doesn’t<br />

want to, or isn’t capable of, negotiating<br />

improvements to the design and operation<br />

of the program. A vote to remove<br />

equalization from the Constitution is a<br />

vote to tear out the heart and soul of<br />

Canada.<br />

Our Canadian identity is fairness.<br />

Equalization payments, using federal<br />

tax dollars, ensures that all provinces,<br />

even those with a below-average ability<br />

to raise revenue, can offer an acceptable<br />

level of education, health care and<br />

social services.<br />

Kenney’s argument that Alberta<br />

over the last 60 years has given to<br />

Ottawa $600-billion more than it’s<br />

received back is nothing more than<br />

‘the big lie’. High-income regions, like<br />

Alberta, do not transfer funds to lowerincome<br />

ones. Nor do taxpayers in<br />

Alberta pay a higher percentage of federal<br />

taxes than<br />

any other<br />

province.<br />

Scientists are strongly When you’re the<br />

richest province<br />

recommending we go to in Canada, yes<br />

even today, and<br />

year-round standard time. our salaries are<br />

the highest, of<br />

Otherwise, kids will be<br />

course, many<br />

Albertans pay<br />

higher amounts of<br />

severely impacted—<br />

federal and provincial<br />

taxes. As<br />

unless school start times<br />

do all top earners<br />

in other provinces.<br />

Size of<br />

are pushed back to<br />

population also<br />

9:30 or <strong>10</strong> o’clock.<br />

matters. In aggregate,<br />

individual<br />

Ontarians contribute<br />

more to federal coffers than do<br />

individual Albertans.<br />

Rather than anger, we should be<br />

thankful that we’ve been blessed with<br />

so many natural resources. It’s like<br />

being jealous of someone on welfare!<br />

Lastly, we have a question to accept<br />

full-time daylight-savings time (DST).<br />

Experts say It’s going to play havoc<br />

with our internal Circadian clock<br />

which operates sleep and wakefulness<br />

based on the sun.<br />

Scientists are strongly recommending<br />

we go to year-round standard<br />

time. Otherwise, kids will be severely<br />

impacted—unless school start times<br />

are pushed back to 9:30 or <strong>10</strong> o’clock.<br />

Getting kids to bed in the summer<br />

with DST will seem a piece-of-cake<br />

compared to getting kids up in the<br />

winter under DST hours.<br />

Referendums are simply lazy governance,<br />

and too often have huge<br />

unintended consequences.<br />

That first word<br />

by Lois Perepelitz<br />

Last week I got the strange urge to<br />

organize my writing room. This happens<br />

every few years.<br />

When I was moving a pile of books<br />

from one place to another I found the<br />

beautiful leather covered journals that<br />

my sister had given me. She had<br />

wanted me to write my life stories in<br />

them.<br />

When I learned that they were not<br />

teaching cursive writing<br />

anymore I thought writing<br />

in the journals would be a<br />

waste of time since future<br />

generations would not be<br />

able to read them.<br />

Holding those books and<br />

looking at all those blank<br />

pages made me realize that<br />

writing in a journal is<br />

something you do for yourself<br />

not future generations. Perepelitz<br />

I decided to write my stories<br />

in them even if it was<br />

just to give myself the joy of remembering<br />

them.<br />

I got myself settled in my chair and<br />

opened a book. The sight of that blank<br />

page made my mind go blank. This<br />

happens to me a lot.<br />

When it happens I usually get a<br />

bunch of random meaningless<br />

thoughts rolling through my mind.<br />

Here are some of the thoughts that<br />

rolled through my mind that day.<br />

I have to remember to tell my grandchildren<br />

to tell their children and<br />

grandchildren to learn how to read<br />

sorry for me every winter.<br />

Some people can do whatever they<br />

want and when they get caught doing<br />

something wrong all they have to do is<br />

say “I’m sorry, I made a mistake.” and<br />

all is forgiven. It must be nice<br />

to be that special. Most people<br />

have to pay the consequences<br />

for their ‘mistakes.’<br />

Why did they have to go and<br />

coat chicken breasts with a soy<br />

protein? It is already a high<br />

protein food so why spoil the<br />

taste? I wish scientists would<br />

leave my food alone.<br />

Who invented knitting?<br />

What kind of genius had the<br />

brains and patience to design a<br />

pattern? I barely have the<br />

patience to follow a pattern.<br />

Why do some cats just sit in the yard<br />

and torture the barking dog behind the<br />

window? Maybe they were bullies in a<br />

past life.<br />

After those and a few more random<br />

thoughts went through my mind I<br />

looked at that blank page again. I<br />

picked up my pen and wrote,’ My sister<br />

gave me this book...”<br />

Writing can be very much like life,<br />

for every journey you take you must<br />

take that first step; for every story you<br />

write you must write that first word.<br />

Headed down the garden path<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

A couple weeks ago there was a<br />

meeting in Calgary of some of<br />

Alberta’s MLAs to discuss the future<br />

of Alberta’s premier. A writer for the<br />

Calgary Sun summed up the MLA’s<br />

this way, “They walked in the front<br />

door and slithered out the side door<br />

without speaking to reporters.”<br />

MAIL BAG<br />

I’ve heard Alberta’s MLAs described<br />

as ‘Kenny’s Kids’ and they proved to<br />

Albertans that’s what they are.<br />

Not enough courage to even speak to<br />

reporters. I guess they forgot their<br />

responsibility is to the people who<br />

elected them, the people of Alberta.<br />

They let Albertans down. Families<br />

in Alberta have lost loved ones while<br />

our Premier hides in a corner, and<br />

health care is in shambles.<br />

On another subject, I read in the<br />

Western Producer there is an international<br />

campaign to remove all animal<br />

products from the marketplace, even<br />

chickens. It leaves me wondering<br />

where Canadians and the world population<br />

will say ‘enough is enough’.<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB OCTOBER <strong>14</strong>'21 7<br />

Protect the air you breathe<br />

Cont’d from Pg 6<br />

I’ve never baked a cake without an<br />

egg! These so called plant-based products<br />

are nothing but lots of chemicals,<br />

have no natural nutrition for<br />

mankind.<br />

I was horrified when the television<br />

showed a “maggot” being put in the<br />

hamburger bun, covered with sauce!<br />

Maggots were put on earth to eat rotting<br />

and decaying flesh and that’s what<br />

you want your children to eat!<br />

Now, let’s talk climate. The climate<br />

has been changing as long as history<br />

has recorded. When Palliser came<br />

through southern Alberta in the late<br />

1800’s, he recorded the area was so hot<br />

and dry it was uninhabitable. No available<br />

fuels being used back then.<br />

One of the oldest history books<br />

known to mankind, the Bible tells of<br />

Joseph knowing in a dream, a famine<br />

was coming to Egypt and instructed a<br />

portion of grain to be put in store<br />

houses to prevent a famine in the<br />

country in the coming years. No fossil<br />

fuels!<br />

In the Dirty<br />

Thirties, the fields<br />

were planted and<br />

harvested with<br />

horses, the main<br />

transportation<br />

was horse and<br />

buggy or democrats.<br />

No fossil<br />

fuels! The drought<br />

was widespread.<br />

Our federal government<br />

have<br />

convinced people<br />

there is no need to<br />

think for yourself. People are being<br />

led down the garden path like sheep to<br />

the slaughter pen.<br />

Money will not change the weather.<br />

Yes, you have less money to pay your<br />

bills, the government has more to<br />

waste. Best they realize the Good Lord<br />

has control, not the government.<br />

There is nothing new about climate<br />

change. Pull the planes out of the sky,<br />

keep your feet on the ground and protect<br />

the air you breathe.<br />

With luck your harvest is complete.<br />

The grain bins are far from full and<br />

I’m told barley is $9 a bushel so I guess<br />

beer drinkers are in for a shock.<br />

The cow herds are going to market<br />

in untold numbers, steak will only be<br />

what you dream of next year.<br />

The Canadians food supply is<br />

shrinking so don’t be shocked when<br />

you enter the grocery story.<br />

Have a thoughtful and courages day<br />

and think for yourself. Don’t be led<br />

down the garden path.<br />

Three Hills RCMP officers recognized for their contributions with reducing rural crime. Three Hills RCMP<br />

Detachment Commander Sergeant Jamie Day provided both officers Constable Matt Nyman and Constable<br />

Pouria Samimi with the Detachment Commander’s Certificate of Appreciation. “My words can never be enough<br />

to praise your actions; the work and talent you bring to the table always exceed my expectations. The dedication<br />

and integrity you have displayed is truly a credit to the organization, the clients it serves and speaks to the high<br />

standards you have set for yourself. Your commitment is greatly appreciated.” <strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong>/Three Hills RCMP<br />

Advertorial<br />

From the Campaign Trail . . .<br />

Time to Vote.<br />

Thank you to everyone for your support<br />

and encouragement.<br />

Time to address the question I have<br />

been asked the most.<br />

Setbacks for farm buildings, homes,<br />

dugouts and grain storage.<br />

In May of <strong>2021</strong> our county councillors<br />

voted to re-define and establish<br />

new setbacks for farm support<br />

structures.<br />

Our county councillors have since<br />

authorized enforcement and legal<br />

action supporting these setbacks,<br />

regardless of when structures were<br />

built, if no development permit has<br />

been issued.<br />

So yes, your dugouts, grain storage,<br />

sheds and possibly homes, that are<br />

deemed to be in violation of setbacks<br />

are subject to enforcement and legal<br />

action from our county. It has begun.<br />

These are your elected officials.<br />

This is your county, your home, your<br />

future. Demand better. Protect and<br />

support young families and decades of<br />

development. Fix the bylaw.<br />

My commitment to you if chosen to<br />

be your County Councillor:<br />

• I will support ratepayers over<br />

lawyers.<br />

• I will vote against destruction of<br />

your yards and livelihoods.<br />

• I will seek solutions through consultation,<br />

not courts.<br />

• I will work to establish greater<br />

water security for all residents and<br />

our primary industry, agriculture.<br />

• I will continue the fight for a better<br />

future in our County through<br />

responsible development, fiscal<br />

restraint, low taxes, improved infrastructure<br />

and protection of our<br />

unique landscapes and<br />

environment.<br />

• I will listen to and support you, our<br />

county residents and communities.<br />

• I will ask the difficult questions. I<br />

will tell you the answers. You have<br />

a right to know.<br />

Thank you. Let’s vote.<br />

Be safe and stay healthy.<br />

Revisions made to procedural bylaw<br />

Cont’d from Pg 2<br />

County council passed a<br />

motion to create the position<br />

and will have the person to join<br />

decided upon at the organizational<br />

meeting coming up.<br />

Councillor appointments<br />

A few revisions and deletions<br />

were made to the procedural<br />

bylaw which council passed<br />

motions individually for each<br />

administrative request.<br />

The first was to remove some<br />

committees as<br />

they have disbanded<br />

or the<br />

county is no<br />

longer interested<br />

in supporting<br />

these groups.<br />

This includes<br />

the Assessment<br />

Negotiating<br />

is now undertaken<br />

by<br />

$525.50) and the<br />

Red Deer River<br />

Watershed<br />

Alliance where<br />

no payment has<br />

been made since<br />

2012.<br />

Council’s consideration<br />

is<br />

requested to<br />

change the<br />

County Member<br />

at Large appointments<br />

from the<br />

current one year<br />

term to a two or<br />

three-year term<br />

to provide continuity<br />

and<br />

eliminate the<br />

need to send letters<br />

and have<br />

representatives<br />

sign off on the<br />

Code of Conduct<br />

every year.<br />

The external<br />

committees are:<br />

Castor & District<br />

has one at<br />

large member on<br />

a one year term<br />

as well as the<br />

Lastly, the<br />

Coronation &<br />

Non-Residential<br />

Tax Incentive<br />

Bylaw<br />

A culmination<br />

of work for<br />

county administration<br />

over the<br />

past two-three years has come<br />

to a final point in terms of economic<br />

development.<br />

The Non-Residential Tax<br />

Incentive Bylaw has been<br />

revised to include defined capital<br />

costs, the elimination of the<br />

deferral definition, and deals<br />

with timelines and exemptions<br />

in an effort to create an easier,<br />

more defined pathway for<br />

developers and administration.<br />

Rural motivation<br />

Cont’d from Pg 9<br />

The oldest two attend school in<br />

Coronation and the youngest children<br />

attend in Brownfield.<br />

It is Thomas’s commitment to contribute<br />

to strong rural communities<br />

that motivated<br />

her decision to<br />

put her name forward<br />

to join<br />

Clearview’s<br />

School Board.<br />

“I believe<br />

strong communities<br />

build<br />

resilient children<br />

and it does truly<br />

‘take a village’ to<br />

raise them,” said<br />

Thomas. “I love<br />

living and raising<br />

my family in a<br />

rural community<br />

and appreciate<br />

the opportunity<br />

to bring that perspective<br />

to the<br />

Board.”<br />

She added,<br />

“Clearview is<br />

already on a great<br />

I’m looking forward<br />

to being a<br />

part of that. I<br />

appreciate the<br />

From the east central<br />

Love for people<br />

Helen Dorothy Christiansen<br />

1945 - <strong>2021</strong><br />

It is with deep sadness that we<br />

announce the passing of our beautiful<br />

mother, grandma, great grannie, sister<br />

and friend.<br />

Mom passed away on Mon. Oct. 4,<br />

<strong>2021</strong> in Castor with her sister and<br />

brother-in-law by her side.<br />

Her big heart finally gave out. Helen<br />

was born Oct. 13, 1945 to Walter and<br />

Dorothy Meyer in Leader, Sask. A<br />

beauty with massive curly hair. Helen<br />

was a very hard worker and loved<br />

every job she had.<br />

Helen married Patrick Shepherd and<br />

was blessed with their two<br />

sons, Shane and Larry. They<br />

were her whole world.<br />

Helen, along with her sister<br />

Gladys opened a dress shop in<br />

Brooks and named it Dorothy’s<br />

Styles after their mother and<br />

ran it for eight years.<br />

Helen later married Bob<br />

Christiansen and moved to<br />

Castor and a few years later<br />

ran the Hotel restaurant along<br />

with her sister for a year and a<br />

half under Sissy’s Country Kitchen.<br />

Helen and Bob later moved to<br />

Provost and Helen ran her brother’s<br />

restaurant, “Gus’s”, which she later<br />

owned and operated.<br />

They moved back to Castor and she<br />

resided in their beautiful little home<br />

on the creek after Bob’s passing.<br />

Helen’s personality and love for<br />

people attracted everyone to her, no<br />

matter where she went. She had a<br />

great sense of humour and was a great<br />

joke and storyteller.<br />

She loved going back to Brooks to<br />

visit her sons and family, and<br />

Christiansen<br />

especially loved going to her son’s and<br />

brother’s “Shop”, that was the gathering<br />

place to visit everyone. She loved<br />

playing Bingo and reminiscing with<br />

family and friends.<br />

She leaves to mourn her two son’s<br />

Shane (Kim) Shepherd and Larry<br />

(Niki) Shepherd; grandchildren:<br />

Ashley, Carly, Carson, Howie and<br />

Sophie; great grandchildren Keelyn,<br />

Brooklyn and Karter Coston: brothers<br />

Wally (sadly Wally passed away a week<br />

later), Joe (Sandra), Larry (Lorna) and<br />

Rick Meyer; sister Gladys (Leo) Wiart;<br />

and many loving nephews and nieces.<br />

Helen was predeceased by her husband<br />

Bob; parents Walter<br />

Meyer and Dorothy Saum;<br />

stepfather Charles Saum;<br />

her little brother Randy<br />

Meyer and niece Michelle<br />

Meyer.<br />

Another link in our<br />

family chain has broken but<br />

Heaven rejoices with the<br />

gain of such a beautiful<br />

soul.<br />

Due to COVID restrictions<br />

we are only able to<br />

have a family service.<br />

We thank every friend and acquaintance<br />

who made our precious mother’s<br />

life so joyful. God bless you all.<br />

time for family fun.<br />

This is Rod, Danielle and their girls Isla and Nora. Rod joined<br />

Vision just a few years ago because he liked the idea of banking<br />

somewhere with Agriculture Specialists who come to you. As a<br />

third-generation farmer, Rod knows first-hand that financial<br />

institutions don’t typically understand the challenges of Ag clients<br />

– let alone visit their operations. Rod appreciates that his Vision<br />

Ag Specialist does both. It gives their family just a little more time<br />

for fun together, something Isla and Nora appreciate too.<br />

AGRICULTURE<br />

OBITUARIES<br />

Loved everyone, enjoyed music and singing<br />

David Moses Thiessen left his<br />

earthly home to be with his beloved<br />

Lord and Saviour on Oct. 2, <strong>2021</strong>, just<br />

15 days short of his 83rd birthday.<br />

David was born (with no middle<br />

name) the third of 12 children in Swan<br />

Plain, Sask. on Oct. 17, 1938 to Wilhelm<br />

and Maria (nee<br />

Martens) Thiessen.<br />

He did various<br />

jobs throughout his<br />

life including logging,<br />

being a ranch<br />

hand, holding the<br />

position of Foreman<br />

at York Farms in<br />

Lethbridge,<br />

Thiessen<br />

farming, truck<br />

driving, heavy duty<br />

mechanics and a<br />

few others. But by far his favourite<br />

thing to do was drive.<br />

He met Maria (nee Thiessen) in<br />

Swift Current, Sask. in June of 1959<br />

while she was working at a Husky Gas<br />

Station Restaurant.<br />

They were married on May 15, 1960<br />

(Maria’s birthday) in Taber, Alta.<br />

They resided in the Coaldale/Taber<br />

area for most of their married lives<br />

until moving to Stettler, Alta. in April<br />

of 2005.<br />

They welcomed six children into<br />

their family during their 61 year marriage.<br />

It was from these children that<br />

he received his middle name.<br />

David was a devoted husband, father,<br />

grandfather and great-grandfather<br />

and he loved everyone well, with<br />

laughter and relationship.<br />

He enjoyed music, playing his guitar<br />

and singing solo or with a group. He<br />

especially enjoyed singing with Maria<br />

and his daughters.<br />

He gave his life to the Lord early in<br />

his life, and later became very involved<br />

with his church serving as board<br />

chairman and leading worship for<br />

many services.<br />

He loved horses, John Wayne and<br />

people and was always ready to share a<br />

cup of coffee and trade stories with a<br />

friend or a stranger. He was always<br />

ready with a helping hand to anyone<br />

who needed it.<br />

He will be deeply missed by<br />

everyone who crossed his path.<br />

He was predeceased by his parents<br />

Wilhelm and Maria and his brother<br />

George Thiessen.<br />

He is survived by Maria, his loving<br />

wife of 61 years, his children: Christine<br />

(Floyd) Van Bergen, Dorothy (Warren)<br />

Johnson, Sandra (Ervin, passed away<br />

Oct 3, <strong>2021</strong>) Abbott, Dave (Sherry)<br />
