CLIVE COUNCIL 

For 58-year-old Robert Siebens of Three Hills, Alta., carving has been in his blood for as long as he can 

remember—everything from ice and watermelon banquet decorations to old tree stumps that want to fly like 

an eagle. Siebens, a resident school survivor, said Oct. 23 he enjoys carving “for the fun of it.”

CASTOR COUNCIL 

Castor seniors club may become 

social agency hub instead 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism 

Initiative reporter 


Town of Castor council 

heard a plan to possibly 

change a seniors club into a 

Family and Community 

Support Services (FCSS) 

office. 

The idea was floated to 

council at their Oct. 12 regular 

meeting held one day 

later than usual because of 

Thanksgiving. 

Town Chief 

Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Christopher Robblee 

presented councillors with a 

report about the Golden 

Circle Club’s idea to temporarily 

turn their building 

over to the town while they 

take a hiatus from 

operations. 

The building, which is 

town property, is located at 

5103 51st. Street. 

For readers unfamiliar 

with the club, it is a recreational 

organization open to 

anyone 40 years and older 

and offers activities such as 

bingo, cards, floor curling 

and potluck suppers. 

Robblee stated the club’s 

idea went on to propose that 

perhaps in a year or so the 

club might like to take the 

building back and restart 

operations. 

He also noted the Golden 

Circle Club was planning on

sending an official letter to 

the town about this request. 

Robblee also noted he had 

a proposal from the local 

FCSS organization to take 

over the building including 

paying $250 rent and perhaps 

offering some of the 

activities that the Golden 

Circle Club previously 

offered. 

Councillors spent some 

time discussing the Golden 

Circle Club’s idea which, if 

granted, meant the building 

would either be left vacant 

for the time being or rented 

to someone else, such as the 

FCSS group. 

The CAO noted taxpayers 

will still have expenses, 

such as insurance, regardless 

of whether the building 

is in use or not. 

The CAO stated the 

building in question has 

three furnaces for some 

unknown reason, and therefore 

goes through a lot of gas 

every winter. He said the gas 

bill every month can be up 

to $700. 

The total annual utility 

cost for the building can be 

up to $13,000 if the building 

is in use he added. 

Robblee noted the 

building in question does 

have one other tenant, a carpentry 

group. 

The FCSS office is currently 

located in the town 

office and pays $500 rent. If 

FCSS was allowed to move

into the Golden Circle Club building, 

noted the CAO, town staff already 

have a lot of uses in mind for the 

vacated town office space. 

Coun. Kevin McDougall stated he 

liked the idea of FCSS moving into the 

Golden Circle building even if the 

utility bill or janitorial costs are a bit 

higher because it would bring some 

organizations together. 

During discussions several councillors 

asked why the Golden Circle Club 

was taking a break. Robblee stated he 

got the impression the COVID-19 pandemic 

had affected the club’s 

operations, such as attending fundraising 

casinos. He noted the Golden 

Circle Club has no debts owing to the 

town. 

However, Coun. Trudy Kilner 

pointed out that if FCSS is allowed to 

move into the Golden Circle building, 

the club can’t really move back in later 

if FCSS is in there.

ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB O CTOBER 28'21 3 

STETTLER COUNTY COUNCIL 

County says ‘no’ to broken mirror, windshield repairs 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism Initiative reporter 


County of Stettler council said “no” 

to a reimbursement request from the 

owner of a damaged vehicle who 

apparently claimed it was the municipality’s 

gravel road that caused the 

problem. 

The decision was made at the Oct. 12 

regular meeting of council. 

Council considered the agenda item 

of “Ratepayer Request for 

Reimbursement of broken mirror” 

which was brought forward by Coun. 

Dave Grover. 

Grover stated he was given a repair 

estimate for damage to a mirror to a 

private citizen’s vehicle which the 

vehicle owner requested be brought to 

the council meeting so the county 

could pay for the repairs. 

Grover stated the private vehicle in 

question was hit on a gravel road 

which belongs to the county and no 

other details were provided. 

A redacted copy of the invoice from 

Aspen Ford Sales Ltd. of Stettler was 

included in the agenda, and stated at 

the top was “Service estimate customer 

copy,” which listed the following 

estimates for repair work on a blue 

Ford Super Duty F-350 pick-up truck: 

Replace lefthand side lower mirror 

glass and replace righthand side upper 

and lower mirror glass, replace windshield. 

At the bottom of the estimate it 

was quoted labour at $388.08, parts at 

$1.065.92, supplies at $58.21 and tax at 

$75.61 for a total work estimate of 

$1,587.82 

Coun. James Nibourg stated that he 

thought the county usually forwards 

requests like this to an insurance company 

for investigation. 

Coun. Ernie Gendre asked if the 

county has rules for such requests, and 

asked if the county is responsible for 

damage like this. 

County Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Yvette 

Cassidy stated the 

municipality 

doesn’t have a 

bylaw or policy 

that covers 

requests like this; 

usually if a large 

truck, for 

example, throws

Nixon stated he hesitated to pay this 

bill because it would open up a can of 

worms, with lots of people sending the 

county bills for cracked windshields. 

He also stated many times these 

cracked windshields occur on provincial 

roads which the county isn’t 

responsible for. 

Gendre added the damage seemed 

“pretty extensive” and wanted more 

information about what actually happened 

to the truck in question. 

Coun. Cheri Neitz stated she also 

was concerned about the large amount 

of damage claimed. 

Coun. Grover made a motion that 

the County of Stettler pay the estimate 

as it was presented; the motion was 

defeated 1 to 6, Grover the lone vote in 

favour. 

Gravel crushing 

After reading the results of a tender 

for gravel crushing presented by 

Director of Operations Rick Green 

councillors unanimously agreed to 

offer the work to Howell’s Excavating 

Ltd. of Innisfail based on their bid of 

$525,000. The tender saw a large 

amount of interest. 

“The Operations Department advertised 

the opportunity for the mining, 

crushing, screening and stockpiling of 

approximately 25,000 cubic metres of 

aggregate” in two pits, the Stormoen 

and Schoff, stated Green in his report 

to council, noting the project was budgeted 

for $751,819. 

Other bids came from Brockhoff 

Enterprises Ltd. of Camrose for 

$555,000, GCS Energy Services Ltd. of 

Red Deer for $600,000, Zulu Aggregates 

of Rocky View County for $656,250,

“The purpose of an enclosed cargo 

trailer is to provide a means to transport

report. “Firefighter rehab portable

equipment, decontamination inflatable

Dennis noted a suitable trailer was 

located for the budgeted amount and 

requested the county kick in their 

portion. 

Cassidy stated the $25,000 county 

portion could be taken out of reserves 

and paid back in next year’s budget. 

That’s exactly what councillors, 

through resolution, agreed to do.

ALIX COUNCIL 

Council offers resident two-month utility rebate 

Stu Salkeld 



Alix village council will offer a twomonth 

rebate on water and garbage 

utility billing after they received a resident’s 

angry letter which was read at 

the Oct. 20 regular meeting of council. 

Alix resident Margaret Barry’s 

letter was presented to councillors by 

village Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Michelle White stating the letter 

was a complaint from Barry about the 

way her 49th Street home was affected 

during large infrastructure work this 

past summer. 

“I would like to register a formal 

complaint regarding the construction 

which occurred this summer on 49th 

Street and 48th Ave. and the village’s 

handling of it,” stated Barry’s letter 

dated Oct. 5. “...I would formally 

request that the property taxes I paid 

for 2021 be refunded to us and property 

taxes for 2022 be waived.” 

Readers should note that Barry’s 

letter listing the points of her complaint 

was over two pages in length 

and due to space constraints, can’t be 

fully printed here. 

However, parts of it read, “We 

received absolutely no notification of 

impending water/sewer work nor any 

information regarding construction or 

what would be occurring or what to 

expect. 

“As a result of the construction we 

were unable to access our property 

from the front of our house or use our 

side driveway.’ 

Barry explained this caused two 

problems for her family, including 

having to find a storage area for their 

travel trailer, which included added 

expense, and no garbage pick-up. 

Barry described other problems the 

construction caused. “I only have one 

day off throughout the week which I 

use to do laundry, housework, baking 

etc.,” stated the letter. “For two of those 

days my water was shut off and then 

my sewer,” adding her family was 

given one day’s notice by a card on 

their front door. 

“In addition several times I could not 

even get to my garage through the 

alley due to the construction on the 

street and construction of a garage in 

the alley. 

During discussion White stated she 

phoned the property owner and apologized 

for the problems, explaining that 

the village didn’t realize how much the 

adjacent property would be affected by 

the utility work and noted the call and 

apology “went well.” 

White stated Barry’s property is on 

the opposite side of the street from the 

project but village staff didn’t realize 

project fencing would affect them or 

that the alley was blocked. 

Coun. Tim Besuijen asked if the

ALIX COUNCIL 

Village will likely never recover unpaid tax debt 

Stu Salkeld 



Alix village council will likely never 

recover a large unpaid property tax 

debt even though they can acquire the 

property in question they heard Oct. 

20. 

Councillors heard the report at the 

first regular council meeting following 

the recent municipal election. 

Village Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Michelle White gave councillors 

a report on the municipality’s efforts to 

auction lot 15a, block 1, plan 6146RS 

(tax roll 34) at a public event Sept. 22, 

which she noted did not sell. 

Village of Alix councillor Barb Gilliat, left, swears her oath of 

office from village CAO Michelle White at the regular meeting of 

council Oct. 20. 

ECA Review/S.Salkeld 

The lot in question is zoned residential. 

During discussion it was stated 

some buyers prefer not to buy tax 

recovery parcels through auction 

because there are too many rules 

involved, and instead prefer to wait 

until the municipality owns the property 

and purchase it directly. 

“The reserve bid, which was equal to 

the assessed value of the property, was 

set at $29,500,” stated White in her 

report to council. 

“The outstanding taxes on the property 

are $9,049.13.” 

Municipalities can recover unpaid 

property taxes through a process in the 

Municipal Government Act (MGA) that 

includes auctioning the property; any 

profit over and above the taxes owing 

are returned to the original property 

owner. 

As the property didn’t sell at the auction, 

on paper the village has a few 

options yet to recover the unpaid taxes 

noted the CAO, including taking title to 

the property to sell it, taking title to use 

it for municipal purposes or simply 

leaving the property in the name of the 

current owner. 

However, as councillors read the 

report they came across a letter from 

Taxervice, the company Alix hired to 

help them with the tax recovery 

process. 

The letter, signed by Gary Burnside, 

president, stated, “We note that there is 

a CRA judgement registered against 

the title: writ registered Apr. 9, 2019 in 

the amount of $87,933 plus costs. 

“(If Alix owned the property) we 

could then approach CRA on your 

behalf and attempt to negotiate how the 

proceeds of sale would be shared. 

In the worst case scenario, CRA 

would insist on the full sale proceeds, 

in which case all arrears, penalties and 

interest would have to be written off,” 

added Burnside. 

She noted, as Burnside did, if CRA 

insists on keeping all proceeds from 

the land sale, at least the property 

would likely become tax generating 

again. 

Mayor Rob Fehr wasn’t optimistic 

the Village of Alix will get any money 

even if it manages to sell the property. 

“I bet you we won’t see a dime,” said 

Fehr. 

Councillors unanimously agreed to 

acquire title to the property in question 

with the intention of selling it to 

recover the unpaid property taxes.

When and if Premier Jason Kenney 

and Preston Manning decide to analyze 

why their conservative picks in 

Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton were 

decisively defeated by progressive candidates, 

the answer may be as simple 

as ‘behaviour’. 

Let’s start with Jeromy Farkas in 

Calgary, who prior to being a City 

Councillor was a senior fellow at the 

Manning Foundation. 

In 2018 he was kicked out of the 

council chambers over a ‘misleading’ 

Facebook post. 

Integrity Commissioner, Sal 

LoVecchio, found Farkas had undermined 

public confidence in city 

council. His punishment was to say 

‘sorry’ to fellow 

council members 

and the 

residents of 

Calgary. 

He refused. 

Then there’s 

Edmonton’s 

Mike Nickel. In 

July 2020, the 

City of 

Edmonton 

Integrity 

Commissioner, 

Jamie Pytel, 

found that 

Nickel posted 

tweets that, 

“were disrespectful, 

lacked 

decorum, contained 

personal attacks, and 

Subscriptions: 

$52.50 in Canada; $98.70 in US; 

$183.75 Overseas. 

“ 

Federal leader, erin 

O’toole, may not be 

everyone’s choice, but he’s 

the first conservative leader 

since brian Mulroney and 

Peter Lougheed that shows 

attributes necessary for 

successful leadership— 

respect, decorum, integrity, 

humility and adult 

behaviour. 

misleading information”, that contravened 

city council’s Code of Conduct. 

Subsequently in 2021, he was found 

in violation of council’s Conduct of 

Conduct in two more matters. 

In Red Deer, Buck Buchanan violated 

Code of Conduct Rules in three 

areas for his social media posts and 

comments. 

Unlike the major cities who have 

full-time staff, Red Deer had to pay an 

outside consultant $20,000 to 

investigate. 

Buchanan was suspended from 

attending committee meetings and 

assuming rotating deputy mayor roles 

until he gave an apology—which he 

eventually did when the election was 

looming. 

This may explain why all three did 

so poorly in the civic elections. Men 

who cannot meet minimum standards 

of conduct have no place in civic leadership 

roles. 

Also noteworthy, both Farkas and 

Nickel usually voted ‘no’ to every 

motion brought before their respective 

councils. The easiest way to avoid 

responsibility is to never support

OPINION 

anything! That’s not someone you 

want in leadership where decisionmaking 

is paramount. 

Preston Manning and company 

seem to believe that because the bombastic, 

unprofessional, child-like 

behaviour of Donald Trump in the U.S. 

and Boris Johnson in the U.K. are 

highly popular in their respective 

countries, that it should work in 

Canada. 

Perhaps it’s time for a re-assessment. 

Jason Kenney is sitting at 22 per cent 

popularity and Saskatchewan’s Scott 

Moe is making an even bigger mess of 

COVID-19 because of his petty hatred 

for Trudeau. 

In contrast, Doug Ford of Ontario 

has set aside his populist behaviour 

and has become statesman-like and a 

well-respected conservative leader 

likely to win 

re-election. 

Maybe it’s time 

for Preston 

Manning and 

company to get out 

of their 1930 ideology 

time-warp, 

and consider the 

year 2022. 

Stephen Harper, 

Preston 

Manning’s 

number one success 

story, won a 

minority government, 

governed 

like a conservative 

and was rewarded 

with a majority. 

Yet four years 

later, he lost to his arch-enemy, thirdparty 

leader Justin Trudeau, because 

of his and his cabinet ministers lack of 

decorum and respect for others. 

Pettiness and mean-spiritedness 

towards immigrants, First Nations, 

LGBTQ, and the less fortunate became 

the lasting hallmark of the Harper 

regime. The snitch lines, burkas and 

barbaric cultural practices still resonate 

in the minds of many Canadians, 

especially in vote-rich suburban areas. 

The aforementioned men, who I 

refuse to call conservatives, but rather 

oversized male egotists with chips on 

their shoulders, haven’t served the 

conservative brand well. 

Federal leader, Erin O’Toole, may 

not be everyone’s choice, but he’s the 

first Conservative leader since Brian 

Mulroney and Peter Lougheed that 

shows attributes necessary for successful 

leadership—respect, decorum, 

integrity, humility and adult 

behaviour. 

Arrogant, stand-alone, bombastic, 

sleight-of-hand, childish behaviour 

isn’t what the majority of Albertans or 

Canadians need, or in most cases 

want, in their political leaders.

Morrin resident says thanks 

Dear Editor, 

Too often we don’t take the time to 

show appreciation to those who take 

the time to make our communities a 

great place to live. 

Today I want to change that and 

show my appreciation to Mayor 

Howard Helton. 

Mr. Helton was Mayor of our Village 

for three years. It took courage, but 

Mr. Helton resigned from his position 

as Mayor because it became obvious 

that the Municipal Government Act 

(MGA) was not being followed when a 

councillor resigned a number of times 

but the Morrin Chief Administraive 

Officer (CAO) wouldn’t accept the resignation. 

The MGA is very clear that 

once a councillor resigns the resignation 

is effective immediately. 

As a result of Mr. Helton resigning 

in protest it caught the attention of 

Municipal Affairs who then appointed 

an Official Administrator (OA) who 

became the whole council. He immediately 

removed the Deputy Mayor who 

had improperly been put in as Mayor. 

None of this would have happened 

with Mr. Helton doing the right thing. 

Mr. Helton accomplished a lot 

during the time he was Mayor. One of 

the biggest things he accomplished 

was saving our Village $179,000 which 

was set aside without approval, for a 

retirement package for the 

CAO. Instead Mr. Helton used this 

money to benefit all residents by 

having equipment installed that would 

allow residents to have water in their 

homes when the power went out. 

The Mayor also approved the purchase 

of Christmas Lights to help 

brighten the Main Street. 

He also approved the removal of the 

unsightly garbage and recycle bins on 

Main Street and replaced them with a 

small park that is a tribute to the 

farmers and us as a farming 

community. 

Mr. Helton knew that the public 

having access to council agenda and 

minutes was important for the residents 

and to show openness and 

accountability of council. The fee 

established by the former council of

digital@ECAreview.com marketing@ECAreview.com 

$55 just for a one page agenda was 

simply not appropriate. 

Prior to the previous council 

approving this fee I was personally 

told by the CAO that the public was not 

entitled to a copy of the agenda or minutes. 

With Mr. Helton’s direction 

residents can now receive a copy of 

both at no charge when attending a 

meeting. 

At the time Mr. Helton began as 

Mayor, closed sessions were not being 

properly recorded. They are now. 

Sewer problems in the Village are 

nothing new to anybody living here. 

While Mayor, Mr. Helton had a 

number of sewer laterals checked with 

a camera to see if they were functioning 

properly. As a result four 

lateral lines were dug up and replaced. 

Mr. Helton’s sewer was also scoped 

but the camera would only go in 26 ft. 

and couldn’t go further. Rather than 

run a snake and clear the line the 

obstruction was left. 

Mr. Helton had to rent a PortaJohn 

as his sewer backs up when solids are 

put in the line. 

For those who don’t know the 

Helton’s, they are senior citizens and 

for months now have to go outside, rain 

or shine, to use the facilities. Even 

though the Official Administrator 

tasked the CAO to deal with this 

months ago, nothing has been 

done, even after requests submitted by 

the Helton’s go unanswered. 

Mr. Helton saw early on that our 

CAO needed financial assistance. 

Other council and the CAO were dead 

set against it. I see recently that the 

Mayor was right all along as the OA is 

now using a Financial Assistant in the 

CAO’s office. 

I not only want to thank Mr. Helton 

for the many hours he put in as Mayor 

to make our Village a better place to 

live but I want to let the residents know 

that Mr. Helton donated his salary as 

Mayor to a Village of Morrin organization. 

He also purchased, with his own 

money comfortable chairs for council 

chambers.

AGRICULTURE 


Survey finds on-farm cover crop innovation 

occurring across the Canadian prairies 

Submitted 

Researchers at the 

University of Manitoba (UM) 

have shared the results from 

the 2020 Prairie Cover Crop 

Survey which capture a snapshot 

of the use and grower 

observations of this new 

practice. 

The report suggests that 

cover crops are becoming 

established in the Prairies and 

can be grown in a wide range 

of locations and environments 

across Manitoba, 

Saskatchewan and Alberta. 

Accessing local information 

about cover crops has been a 

hurdle for Prairie farmers 

interested in adopting this production 

method which holds 

the potential to build soil 

health and store carbon in 

soils. 

To help fill these knowledge 

gaps the 2020 Prairie Cover 

Crop Survey was developed to 

provide information to 

farmers, agronomists, 

researchers, policy makers, 

and government organizations 

that will play an important 

role in the future of cover 

crops in the region. 

Between October 2020 and 

April 2021, Dr. Yvonne Lawley 

and graduate student Callum 

Morrison from the Department 

of Plant Science at UM asked 

farmers questions about how 

their farm utilized cover crops 

in 2020, such as how cover 

crops were grown, their 

agronomy, the benefits and the 

problems farmers have 

experienced. 

Respondents were also asked 

about what could be done to 

support those using cover 

crops as well as questions to 

characterize farm types and 

size. 

“It is an important time to 

hear from farmers about their 

needs for research and knowledge 

transfer,” said Callum 

Morrison. “Farmers want to 

know how to use cover crops to 

meet their goals.” 

Policy makers and extension 

providers want information to 

best assist farmers and design 

policy to reach environmental 

targets.” 

In total, the survey collected 

responses from 281 early 

adopters who grew a cover 

crop in 2020. 

These farms, which were 

from every major agricultural 

region of the Prairies, grew 

102,539 acres of cover crops. 

Of the respondents, 31 per 

cent were from Alberta, 32 per 

cent from Saskatchewan and 

37 per cent from Manitoba. 

“As early adopters of cover 

cropping on the Prairies, we’ve 

found it to be a bit of a lonely 

pursuit,” said Kevin Nickle, 

survey respondent and grain 

farmer in the Red River Valley 

of Manitoba. 

“This survey demonstrates 

that there is widespread participation 

and a general desire 

to continue. 

“There is so much to learn in 

this realm and this survey 

may help inform researchers 

and practitioners on the specific 

questions to ask.” 

“Although I had not yet used 

cover crops at the time of this 

study, I am encouraged by the 

uptake of the practice, and 

have now planted fall rye as a 

trial on some of our acres and 

may be used for spring 

grazing. We are also able to 

purchase a no-till drill this fall 

and look forward to the possibilities,” 

said a survey 

respondent. 

The research team partnered 

with a number of farm 

organizations and individuals 

in sharing the survey widely. 

“We must thank all those 

who took the time to call their 

neighbour, send an email, add 

the survey notice a newsletter, 

published a story, or retweeted 

a post,” said Yvonne Lawley. 

“It was exciting to experience 

the strength of networks 

in the agricultural community 

throughout this project.” 

Funding for this project was 

provided by General Mills and 

Manitoba Agriculture and 

Resource Development 

through the Manitoba Ag 

Action Program.

Career missionary in India 

Beryl Alexandria Alice Finch of 

Mirror, Alta. went home to be with her 

Lord on Oct. 15, 2021 at the age of 98. 

She passed away at a seniors residence 

in Stettler which had been her 

home for the past six 

years. 

Beryl was born July 

11, 1923 in Heisler, Alta. 

After high school, she 

attended Prairie Bible 

Institute and then went 

to India as a career 

missionary. 

Beryl’s love of India 

and the Indian people 

(and their cuisine!) continued 

long after 

Finch 

her 

retirement to Canada in 1988. 

Beryl was an avid letter writer and 

corresponded with friends and family 

on several continents well into her 

nineties. She also kept a camera close 

by and documented her travels 

and ministry. 

Beryl is predeceased by her 

sister Kay Smith, brother Glenn 

Finch, niece Glenys Hardock, and 

niece-in-law Jeannie Finch. 

She is survived by her nephew 

David Finch of Calgary, Alta, 

niece Sylvia Adams of Bowen 

Island, BC, and by several grand 

and great-grand nieces and 

nephews. 

A Celebration of Life is being 

planned. Time and location will be 

posted on the website of the Stettler 

Funeral Home & Crematorium. 

https://stettlerfuneralhome.com. 

If desired, charitable donations may 

be made in Beryl’s memory to the following

Time to get back to work 

Damien Kurek, MP 

Battle River-Crowfoot Constituency 

I am eager to return to the 

essential work that is done in 

Parliament for the people of 

Battle River—Crowfoot on Nov. 

22. 

Unfortunately, the delay will 

mean the constituting of 

Parliamentary Committees will 

likely be in the new year. 

For those who follow House of 

Commons proceedings closely, 

Kurek 

they will know that it is in committees 

where much of the work 

of Parliament gets done. 

This is also where the Official 

Cont’d from Pg 3 

Two witnesses suffered 

minor injuries as a result. No 

one else was physically injured 

as a result of this incident. 

Aaron Matthew Pegg (46) of 

Calgary was charged with the 

robbery, assault with a weapon, 

wearing a disguise while committing 

an offence and failing to 

comply with release order. 

Following a judicial hearing, 

Aaron Pegg was remanded into 

custody and is scheduled to 

appear in Drumheller 

Provincial Court on Oct. 22, 

2021. 

As a result of further investigation, 

Drumheller RCMP 

executed a search warrant at a 

residence on Oct. 19, 2021, and 

arrested one male. 

Kyle Alvin Ohlhauser (32) of 

Drumheller was charged with 

robbery and wearing a disguise 

while committing an offence. 

Following a judicial hearing, 

Ohlhauser was released from

PARLIAMENT 

Opposition is able to most effectively 

hold the Liberal Government to

This includes holding 

the Government accountable 

for their conduct, 

studying important issues, 

and ensuring that all legislation 

is carefully 

reviewed. 

In the last Parliament, I 

saw how important committees 

were through my 

work on both the Ethics 

and Public Safety 

Committees. 

We are seeing firsthand that

“It’s easy to understand the 

level of concern that is present 

when one’s property is violated,” 

says Staff Sergeant 

Edmond Bourque, Drumheller 

RCMP Detachment 

Commander. 

“However, we urge members 

of the public not to take matters 

into their own hands. We have 

seen the person who takes the 

matter into their own hands be 

quite seriously injured. 

“What we need are for individuals 

to report a crime in 

progress to 911 so that the police 

can attend to assist.” 

Tractor found 

near Wimborne 

Olds RCMP are asking for 

public assistance in locating the 

owner of a Massey Ferguson 

Model 270 tractor with a cab and 

Canadians are faced with a pervasive 

threat of rapid inflation; due to the 

unhindered printing of money coupled 

with the Government’s overspending… 

unfortunately, 

our economy is 

stumbling, and 

industries like 

agriculture and 

energy are last on 

the list of priorities, 

even though 

these industries 

helped build 

Canada. 

RCMP urge public not to intervene

The abandoned tractor was

FROM THE 

BLEACHERS 

Early exit 

heartbreak 

for Giants 

by Bruce Penton 

Here are a few things sports fans 

have learned in the last couple of 

weeks: 

— Winning 107 games during a 162- 

game season gets you nothing but 

expanded heartbreak when your team 

is eliminated in the first round of playoffs. 

Sorry, Giants. 

— Emails filled with hate, racism, 

misogyny, homophobic references and 

things for which your mother would 

have washed your mouth out with 

soap, even 10 years later, can come 

back to haunt you. Maybe you deserve 

time on the unemployment line, Jon 

Gruden. 

— Even if you believe not getting 

vaccinated against COVID-19 is your 

personal right, NBA execs have the 

final say if you’re a professional basketball 

player and you’re willing to 

forego millions of dollars to make your 

point. You da man, Kyrie Irving. 

— Generating what might be a faux 

‘rivalry’ can turn into millions of dollars 

for the combatants, because 

sports fans generally love vitriol and 

possible combustion, perhaps even 

constant catfighting. Good thing the 

biggest bucks are for charity, Brooks 

and Bryson. 

— Fighting in professional hockey is 

nothing like fighting in pro wrestling. 

The on-ice battles, however stupid they 

may be, are real. Right, Zack Kassian? 

— Blue Jays’ boss Ross Atkins is on 

the hot seat as he tries to figure out 

how to manage the team budget so 

that two free agents, pitcher Robbie 

Ray and second baseman Marcus 

Semien, can both be resigned for 2022. 

Sorry, Robbie, it was nice having you 

in Canada for one season. 

— Even at age 44, a guy can still play 

quarterback in the NFL at the highest 

level. You’re amazing, Tom Brady. 

— Even without a reliable placekicker, 

a team in the Canadian 

Football League can win games week 

after week. Another Grey Cup on the 

horizon, Bombers? 

— Mental health is nothing to scoff 

at, and it’s especially problematic 

when you’re constantly in the spotlight 

because you’re a professional 

athlete. Isn’t that right, Carey Price, 

Naomi Osaka, Simone Biles and countless 

others? 

FALL TIRE SALE! 

• RJ Currie of 

sportsdeke.com: 

“Canada’s most 

decorated Olympi- 

- 

 

sister to ex-NCAA 

 

Kraken blue- 

 

wonder she’s so 

athletic in the 

water, swimming 

in that gene pool.” 

• Dwight Perry of 

the Seattle Times: 

“Bengals quarterback 

Joe Burrow 

was on “voice rest” 

following a throat 

injury against the 

Packers but isn’t 

expected to miss 

any playing time. 

‘Can we get one 

of those for Dick 

Vitale?’ piped up 

more than one 

basketball fan.” 

• Charles Barkley, 

on TNT, on Wayne 

Gretzky not known 

for his defence: 

“He’s the Charles 

Barkley of hockey.” 

• Tim Hunter of 

Everett’s KRKO 

Radio, on the 

Mariners buying 

Pyramid Brewery 

across the street 

from their ballpark: 

“If you’re a 

longtime Mariners 

fan, you’ll understand 

why.” 

• Steve Simmons 

of Sun Media, 

on rapper Drake, 

unofficial hangeron 

with Toronto 

Raptors, on now 

clinging closely to 

Canada’s national 

soccer team after 

its recent success: 

“Drake has be- 

 

 

When anything 

important is 

happening, he 

is there, ready to 

switch his allegiance 

and ballcap 

at a moment’s 

notice.”
