<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 />

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 />

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 />
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 />

(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 />

notified that the annual<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 />
home lot with two nearby ones. The decision was made at the Oct. 5 regular meeting of<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 />

in other provinces.<br />
Size of<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 />

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 />

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 />
Committee which<br />
is now undertaken<br />
by<br />
Municipal<br />
Affairs, Canadian<br />
Badlands<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 />
FCSS which currently<br />
has one at<br />
large member on<br />
a one year term<br />
as well as the<br />
Coronation<br />

Lastly, the<br />
Coronation &<br />
District Support<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 />

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 />

‘take a village’ to<br />
raise them,” said<br />
Thomas. “I love<br />
living and raising<br />
my family in a<br />

“Clearview is<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 />

The girls see more<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 />
