2 A pril 21'22 HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB. ECA REVIEW THREE HILLS Support to revitalize Three Hills street infrastructure A moody yet scenic backdrop for an abandoned homestead in the County of Paintearth along Lake Thelma Road, Mon. April 4. Thank you to the readers who have followed along on my journey as a multimedia journalist over the past four years and those that I interacted with frequently for news and information. It’s been a true pleasure to build such a strong relationship with each and every one of you. My pride for this region has only strengthened. Cheers to the next chapter! ECA Review/Terri Huxley MAIL BAG Hello folks…. Submitted The Town of Three Hills announced a project that will revitalize the town’s Main Street through several infrastructure and aesthetic improvements that aim to draw both residents and tourists alike into the heart of the community, by creating a downtown space that highlights the pedestrian focused amenities of downtown. Amenities will include healthy trees lining the street, more accessible walkways for residents of all ages, additional flower planters and places to enjoy the active and vibrant downtown community through additional tables and chairs. The project site will include the north and south sides of Main Street, between 2 Ave SE and 6 Ave SE, and will be completed over the spring and summer months of 2022. Funding for this project will include a $311,147 federal investment through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund, and $103,716 from the Town of Three Hills, totalling a project value of $414,863. “The Town of Three Hills is overjoyed to receive a grant from PrairiesCan,” said Three Hills Mayor Ray Wildeman. Dear Editor, Just a note to say how much we appreciate your newspaper stepping to the plate and keeping us informed of the shenanigans that both our provincial and federal politicians are trying to pull on us! Kenney is a disgrace to the Conservative Party name and Trudeau is not too far behind as far as the Liberal name is concerned…..not like true conservatives like Lougheed or even Mulroney. I’m sure Trudeau Sr. is rolling over in his grave with the scandals and coverups his offspring has unloaded on us…. Getting back to your newspaper. As I mentioned to the publisher when I called last week, it is refreshing to have a more centralist view on politics rather than the right wing opinions of Post Media and Corus radio which is all we have in this province… I understand a person needs time to take a break from her work keeping track of the political goings on both here in Alberta and in Ottawa, but please know Ms. Schimke, your editorials are sorely missed! PS…I am sending a small donation to help a bit with your distribution costs. Cliff Buchanan, Hanna, Alta. Historical holocaust commemoration Dear Editor, Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) takes place this year on April 28. This is an important and solemn historical commemoration that reminds all people to be vigilant against rising bigotry, hatred and antisemitism. Sadly, antisemitism is growing around the world, including here in Canada. Statistics over the past several years repeatedly state that Jewish people and institutions are among the most common targets of police-reported hate crimes in Canada. Too often, these incidents are dismissed as a byproduct of international events or otherwise downplayed or even denied. But this surge in hatemotivated crimes is a real, growing problem – and it needs to be confronted. A new, grassroots movement is mobilizing to encourage (especially non-Jewish) Canadians to stand R R R R R Published by Coronation Review Limited Subscriptions: $52.50 in Canada; $98.70 in US; $183.75 Overseas. against hatred of all kinds, but particularly against anti-Jewish words and deeds. We believe that Jewish people have been forced to confront these incidents by themselves for far too long. Upstanders Canada (UpstandersCanada.com) is identifying and empowering Canadians across political, religious, cultural, economic and demographic divides to join together to stand with Jewish people and against hatred and violence. Our statement of unity is simple: We believe that Jewish people have the right to live in peace and free from fear anywhere in the world, including in Canada and in Israel. Our goal is to ensure that Canada remains a welcoming society for all people. We invite you to become an upstander.

ECA Review/Flagstaff County Corrections In the County of Paintearth story titled ‘Land Use Bylaw changes raise concerns from public’ in last week’s edition, it was stated that letter submissions would be available on the county website but in fact are not at this time. The expectation is that they will be published later this week. Additionally, in the story titled ‘Altario School celebrates Ag program success’, Elder Russel Joseph was misidentified in the caption as Elder Joseph Naytowhow who presented at the celebration separately via a video stream. The ECA Review apologizes for these errors. Local Journalism Initiative is funded by the Government of Canada.

ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB ApRIL 21'22 3 CASTOR COUNCIL Council hears 2022 will be final ‘cut budget’ Stu Salkeld Local Journalism Initiative reporter ECA Review Castor town council heard a report from their chief administrative officer (CAO) that efforts to trim the municipal budget have almost reached their end. The report was made at the April 11 regular meeting of council. CAO Christopher Robblee, during the regular budget update, notified councillors that operational cuts to the budget are almost done. He added that, looking ahead to future budgets, if any more cuts are made they will have to come by cutting services. Also during the report Robblee noted every department has higher expenses than revenue at this point and those departments won’t see revenue increasing until later in the year. On the positive side, the CAO noted We had such a busy afternoon here at the Castor Golden Circle Community Hub… Crib for some and Easter crafts for others on Tues. April 5. ECA Review/ Castor & District FCSS the town’s gas system has generated a $27,000 profit. It was also noted that the county will forward recreation requisition at the end of the year. Councillors accepted the report as information. Accounts payable Councillors examined the regular listings of accounts to be paid by the town. Among those that were discussed were the U7 softball tournament fees, physician house renovations (carpet, painting, flooring and doors) and staff footwear, among many others. It was noted the physician house costs are split three ways between the town, county and foundation. Councillors discussed the town paying funds to new staff to purchase steel-toed boots; Robblee stated that it’s done even for staff who are probationary, and if they don’t pass probation the money is taken off the person’s final pay cheque. Tax recovery transfers During the cash statement report councillors passed a resolution related to the tax recovery process. This is the process that all municipalities use to recover unpaid property taxes: a legal process is employed to hold an auction for certain property and unpaid taxes and other debts are paid out of the auction proceeds, if the property sells. Robblee requested councillors pass a resolution approving the transfer of the town’s expenses related to the tax recovery sale to the tax rolls involved. They unanimously did so. Castor Rodeo Councillors read a letter of request from the Castor Rodeo. Organizers of the annual event were requesting funding from the town and even though CAO Robblee noted this is an annual request and is always granted, cash requests must come before, and be approved by council. Councillors unanimously approved the request.

Mark Kremer, Greg Julas, Melanie Krahn, and Randy Gardiner led the music team at the annual Community Three Hills Good Friday Service April 15. ECA Review/D. Nadeau Good Friday service draws hundreds David Nadeau ECA Review For one short hour, we set aside news of war, suspicion, oppression and injustice. Just an hour, spent in the cavernous Three Hills School gym, to concentrate on the annual community Good Friday service. Seven pastors, one from each participating church, took turns expounding on the service theme of I AM—the Man on the Cross. Prairie Tab Congregation’s Pastor Glenn Flewelling, for example, said Satan works to prevent us from leaving his domain of darkness and death in favour of our defecting into God’s realm of light and life. Appropriate words that fit well with the morning’s service and the world we left outside for an hour. The freewill offering, described by Victory Church Pastor Terry Krahn, will help support Prairie College’s centennial celebration, scheduled for this July. Thank you!
