Bashaw town council has forwarded 

an application for a First Nations 

family wellness centre to various 

agencies for their opinions and comments. 

The decision was made at the 

May 2 regular meeting of council. 

The application from Dr. Tony 

Mucciarone, James Carpenter, Lucy 

Smolcic and Audrey Ward to rezone 

5430 51a Street has been at council 

since 2021; since the site is zoned 

“direct control (DC),” town council has 

authority on development permit 

applications. 

Town Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Theresa Fuller stated in her 

agenda memo that the town has sent 

the applicants six “incomplete letters” 

noting the application didn’t include 

all the information councillors needed 

to make a decision.

Town approves budget, 3.97 per cent tax increase 

Stu Salkeld 

Local journalism initiative reporter 


Town of Bashaw property owners 

may see an increase on their tax bill 

after councillors approved a projected 

increase of 3.97 per cent within their 

2022 operating budget. The decision 

was made at the May 2 regular 

meeting. 

Town Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Theresa Fuller presented councillors 

with the proposed 2022 

operating budget, noting it had been 

adjusted after April 19 discussions. 

During discussion Fuller stated the 

proposed operating budget included a 

3.97 per cent projected municipal 

Cont’d from Pg 1 

Bashaw notified the applicants of 12 

sections of information missing from 

the application, including confirmation 

of exact uses to be included on the 

site, confirm the number of beds for 

overnight guests, age of guests, business 

plan and more. 

Another issue facing the application 

is that applicants asked that development 

permit information be kept 

confidential, while town council heard 

at an April council meeting development 

permit information is usually 

available to the public. 

Fuller stated the applicants provided 

hundreds of pages of 

information as of April 21 in response 

to the latest incomplete letter; she 

noted that an April 20 letter from the 

applicants acknowledges the information 

will be made public. 

At previous council meetings applicants 

gave the impression the family 

wellness centre will focus on First 

Nations youth and in fact one of the 

applicants, Ward, is executive director 

of Young Spirit Winds, a program 

located at Maskwacis which is 

described on the Youth Solvent 

Addiction Committee (YSAC) website 

as a “treatment program” including 

the following topics: Communication 

and self-awareness; Addictions and 

assessments; Cultural identity; Health 

and awareness; Grief, loss and 

recovery; Self-esteem and peer pressure; 

Anger management and cycle of 

violence; Family and community; 

NAAAW; Addictions and relapse prevention; 

Coping skills and change. 

On page 11 of the new information 

the proposed centre is described as 

“Maskwacis Family Wellness Centre.” 

Readers should note, due to the 

sheer amount of information it’s 

impossible to summarize everything 

included. 

Some information pertinent to the 

application will be quoted here, but the 

entire sheaf of information within the 

May 2 regular meeting agenda on the 

Town of Bashaw website. 

Under the heading “Confirmation of 

exact uses,” a portion of the applicant 

response stated, “Some researchers 

acknowledge the linkage between 

Indigenous culture and healing from 

substance abuse as rooted with traditional 

knowledge keepers and 

communities. 

Alfred shared that the central 

problem for Indigenous health rests on 

‘the effect of colonially-generated cultural 

disruptions’ and he and others 

connect the subjugation of Indigenous 

cultures, including the exploitation of 

Indigenous lands, specifically to substance 

abuse. 

Dell et al. add that ongoing suppression 

of First Nations culture has 

significantly contributed to the problematic 

use of substances among 

BASHAW COUNCIL 

property tax increase, and she 

included a summary of how this could 

affect property owners. 

Based on random samplings, 

Fuller’s projections included dollar 

increases for high residential property 

($154.55), medium high residential 

($212.31), mid residential ($92.77), 

medium low residential ($44.79), low 

residential ($21.15), high non-residential 

($97.88), mid high non-residential 

($246.54), mid non-residential ($86.29), 

mid low non-residential ($62.56) and 

low non-residential ($37.18). 

Coun. Kyle McIntosh asked how 

much of that increase was the provincial 

government’s education 

requisition, to which Mayor Rob 

McDonald answered none. 

Application deemed complete 

recent generations of First Nations 

youth. 

“As communities heal from the 

symptoms and illnesses of cultural disconnect, 

more First Nations are 

establishing culture-based intervention 

programs that, by reconnecting 

an individual to his/her culture, aim 

to heal the root cause of many addictions 

and explore and implement 

awareness and preventative techniques 

and methods through cultural 

teachings.” 

Under the heading “Confirm the 

number of beds for overnight guests,” 

the applicants responded, “An average 

of 30 to 40 clients to sleep at the centre.” 

The applicants stated at a previous 

meeting clients may have family members 

with them as well. On page 13 it 

was also stated, “The centre will 

become a hub for all First Nations in 

Alberta with its primary and initial 

focus being the four distinct Nations of 

Maskwacis. 

Under the heading “Confirm the age 

of guests, duration of stay etc.”, the 

applicants stated ages would run the 

gamut from infant to elder and duration 

of stay was “...estimated at 90 

days.” 

Council discussion 

Fuller stated the application has 

been deemed complete so it can now be 

considered by councillors. 

She noted the Municipal 

Government Act (MGA) requires a 

decision made on the application 

within 40 days of the “complete letter” 

being issued; the town and applicant 

can agree on an extension, however. 

Councillors asked why staff were 

recommending the application be forwarded 

to other agencies for comment, 

including AHS, Battle River School 

Division, Bashaw & District Support 

Services, Camrose & Area Lodge 

Authority, Camrose County and 

RCMP. 

Liz Armitage, a consultant hired by 

the town to assist with this application, 

noted the MGA gives Bashaw the 

authority to forward the application to 

other groups who may be impacted by 

the proposal and ask for their input, “... 

and ultimately it is the right thing to 

do,” she said. Typically the agencies 

return their input within 21 days. 

Councillors also discussed their own 

timetable to examine the material 

which Armitage described as a core of 

about 50 pages with about 1,000 supporting 

pages. 

Councillors decided they will move 

their regular May 16 meeting to 

another night and discuss this application 

instead. It was noted they’ll 

probably need another night as well. 

Coun. Kyle McIntosh noted that at a 

previous council meeting it had been 

agreed Bashaw Mayor Rob McDonald 

would talk with First Nations leaders 

The mayor was apparently pointing 

out the education tax would be on top 

of the municipal increase. 

Fuller confirmed this by stating the 

3.97 per cent was only the municipal 

operating budget increase, the provincial 

education tax was not included. 

During discussion Coun. Bryan Gust 

voiced his conflict over the operating 

budget including a tax increase. 

“It’s hard to say...I’m in favour,” said 

Gust. 

Mayor McDonald noted he didn’t like 

it either but difficult decisions had to 

be made. “Unfortunately it’s the world 

we live in right now,” said McDonald. 

McDonald noted the town has to deal 

with the rising cost of inflation, plus 

rising policing costs and said of the 

from Maskwacis about this application 

and wanted to know how that was 

coming along. 

McDonald answered he hadn’t had 

any further contact with Maskwacis 

leaders but stated he would reach out 

to them for an update. 

Councillors also discussed how a 

public consultation on this application 

would be conducted, and Armitage 

recommended write-in comments and 

a public meeting to reach as many 

people as possible. 

Councillors passed a number of resolutions 

related to this application, 

including sending a letter to the applicants 

that the application is deemed 

“complete,” that this application be 

sent to referral agencies for comment 

and that Bashaw council meet May 16 

to review this application.

Her report noted adjustments made 

to the 2022 operating budget included 

utility penalty revenue, firefighter 

honorarium paid out last year, general 

supplies in the fire department

museum insurance adjusted, 

increased septic receiving station revenue

Readers should note property tax 

bills are affected by more than the

also unanimously passed all readings 

of the 2022 tax rate bylaw to bring it 

into effect.

STETTLER TOWN COUNCIL 

Stettler town council hears about 

watershed school programs 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism Initiative reporter 


Town of Stettler council heard about 

a watershed organization’s efforts to 

work with school kids on environmental 

education. The report was 

made at the May 3 regular meeting of 

council. 

The Battle River Watershed Alliance 

(BRWA) sent two representatives, 

Carson Hvenegaard and Sarah 

Skinner, to give an update on the organization’s 

efforts. 

They explained the alliance management 

oversees three areas of interest, 

watershed management, engagement 

and stewardship and noted that the 

organization enjoys the membership of 

a diverse group of stakeholders 

including governments, industry, the 

farm community and many more. 

The pair showed several maps of the 

watershed’s sprawling area of responsibility, 

from Wetaskiwin County in 

the west to Special Area #3 in the 

southeast of Alberta. 

They noted the BRWA can help communities 

to conserve water, balance 

priorities such as economic and ecological, 

engage with the public on 

watershed issues and solutions, 

working with environmental regulations 

and planning and action for a 

healthy, resilient watershed. 

The BRWA also offers several education 

programs, including Discover 

Your Wetland, a field trip program for 

Grade 5 students, Waste in our 

Watershed tour, a tour intended to educate 

Grade 4 students about liquid and 

solid waste streams and X-Stream 

Science, a hands-on scientific inquiry 

program for Grades 7 to 12. 

The BRWA also offers two programs 

aimed at 4-H clubs, a presentation on 

watersheds and agriculture plus the 

Stewardship Community Project. 

The representatives noted that many 

students who take their programs may 

one day be farmers and ranchers in the 

watershed boundaries. 

Councillors accepted the BRWA presentation 

as information. 

Unnecessary police force? 

Councillors read a letter from 

National Police Federation spokesperson 

Colin Buschman; the NPF is 

the RCMP’s collective bargaining arm. 

“Recently, the NFP completed out 

Keep Alberta RCMP community 

engagement tour,” stated Buschman’s 

letter, who noted the NFP’s final report 

on that tour had been released. 

“The majority of Albertans told us 

loud and clear that they do not want an 

expensive police transition to replace 

the RCMP with a new provincial police 

service. 

“(Albertans stated) the Government 

of Alberta should make priority investments 

aimed at improving the justice 

system, strengthening social services 

and increasing police resources. 

“Participants felt they had not been 

consulted by the government and that 

targeted investments would bring 

better and more immediate results to 

addressing crime in their 

communities.” 

Buschman also included a full copy 

of the report for councillors to peruse. 

Town CAO Greg Switenky noted a 

number of tours or consultations are 

going on regarding the possibility of a 

provincial police force, including the 

provincial government and Alberta 

Municipalities. 

Budget summary 

Assistant Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO) Steven Gerlitz noted that 

the town is still going into its bank 

account to pay bills. Tax revenue at 

this time of year is usually low for most 

municipalities. 

Regional water bill 

Gerlitz also presented the minutes 

for the regional water services commission 

meeting, including 

information on the annual “true up” 

on how much water members have 

used and how much money was paid. 

It was noted the Shirley McClellan 

Regional Water Services Commission 

would be billed $14,141.57, while the 

Hwy. #12/21 Regional Water Services 

Commission would be billed $5,850.21. 

Stettler County representative Reeve 

Larry Clarke told the board the municipality 

is considering a water line 

expansion of about 20 km. in the 

Gadsby area which Gerlitz described 

as, “much, much needed.”

ALIX COUNCIL 

Debate benefits of provincial police force 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism 

initiative reporter 


Alix village council 

debated the pros and cons of 

the provincial government’s 

proposal to replace the 

RCMP with an Alberta 

police force, and it seemed 

there were more cons than 

pros. 

The discussion occurred 

at the May 4 regular council 

meeting. 

In the correspondence 

part of their agenda was a 

letter from the National 

Police Federation (NPF), the 

RCMP’s bargaining unit, 

which included the results 

of a public consultation the 

NFP conducted in Alberta 

over the winter. 

“Through the NFP’s community 

engagement sessions 

and online surveys with 

Albertans we heard loud 

and clear that the majority 

do not want a 

new police service,” 

stated the 

report’s executive 

summary. 

The summary 

went on to state 

that the majority 

of respondents 

told the NFP 

they’d prefer to 

see any efforts by 

the provincial 

government 

instead focused 

on improving the 

justice system, 

strengthening 

social services 

and increasing 

police resources. 

“Participants 

felt that these targeted 

investments would bring 

better and more immediate 

results to address crime 

within communities,” stated 

the NFP’s report. 

Coun. Ed Cole, who often 

describes himself as a 

retired RCMP officer, stated 

a provincial police force 

would mean Alberta loses 

over $100 million a year in 

federal funding, and further 

noted even the Alberta government 

admits only about 

15 per cent of current RCMP 

working in Alberta would 

join the new force. 

Cole noted thousands of 

new police officers would 

have to be recruited and 

trained, adding that there is 

no training facility in 

Alberta. 

“How anyone can say this 

is going to be cheaper...,” 

said Cole. Coun. Tim 

Besuijen responded, “It’s 

almost like there’s something 

else behind this.”

Village Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO) Michelle White 

noted it appears 2,100 police officers 

would have to be recruited, 

and many of those could be 

brand new recruits with little or 

no experience. 

White added that the province 

has suggested those new 

recruits could come from 

within their own communities 

but no plan has yet been 

released on how those people 

will be recruited. 

Councillors also discussed 

the issue of family members, 

friends and neighbours 

becoming police officers in 

their home communities. 

White also wondered how the

RCMP coverage and new police 

force coverage would be 

handled.

Alberta Prosperity Project 

comes to Coronation 

Submitted 

The Alberta Prosperity Project 

(APP) society gave a presentation on 

Fri. May 6 at the Coronation 

Community Hall to about 150 people 

from the area who wanted to learn 

about the project. 

The APP is a grassroots, non-partisan 

educational society whose goal is 

to unite all aspects of society in 

Alberta, build communities and demonstrate 

how everyone can make their 

way to freedom and prosperity 

through independence. 

Speakers for this event were Dr. 

Dennis Modry, Michael Wagner and 

Tanner Hnidey. The evening was moderated 

by former Patricia, Alta. teacher 

and APP Chapter Leader Shannon 

Packham. 

Dr. Modry now retired, pioneered 

the first successful heart/lung transplantation 

program in Western 

Canada. He was involved with 

Premiers Lougheed, Getty, Klein and 

Stelmach with the provincial finance 

committees. 

He prepared a document for Premier 

Klein and caucus in 2003 entitled 

“Alberta at the Crossroads, Status Quo 

Re-Federation, Autonomy”. 

He told the audience how after 116 

years no provincial or federal government 

ever protected Alberta’s interests 

or future prosperity. He gave several 

examples how Alberta can become the 

most free and prosperous nation in the 

world. 

Dr. Modry acts as the chief executive 

officer of the Alberta Prosperity 

Project. 

Michael 

Wagner, an independent 

researcher and 

writer and a columnist 

for the 

Western 

Standard, a 

Canadian political 

and social 

commentary 

media website 

operated by 

Western 

Standard New 

Media Corp. , 

walked the crowd 

through Alberta’s 

political history 

since joining 

Confederation. 

He used history 

to demonstrate 

how we are not 

equal partners in 

Confederation 

despite the efforts 

in the past to get a 

better deal for 

Alberta. 

He is the author 

of two books 

“Alberta 

Separatism Then 

and Now” and “No Other Option: Self- 

Determination for Alberta”. 

Tanner Hnidey, a graduate of the 

University of Calgary, is an Industrial 

Organization Economist. As a laytheologian 

and Bible teacher, he is the 

author of “True Christianity” a dissertation 

on the fundamentals of his 

Christian faith. 

Tanner explained to the audience 

how Alberta is treated as an 

“unthinking economic engine whose 

only purpose is to feed the government’s 

insatiable appetite to spend 

money.” 

He said he is full of hope for the 

future prosperity of Alberta and for all 

citizens to live freely, earn a living and 

enjoy life instead of the current situation 

of being crushed by a denial of 

liberties and a strategic attack on the 

province’s economy. 

Tanner Hnidey is the Vice President 

of Economics for APP. 

After their individual presentations 

there was a question and answer 

session. 

The general consensus was that 

there is a growing and continuing discontent 

towards the present 

government of Alberta and a definite 

contempt towards the federal 

government. 

Questions ranged from banking systems 

to oil exports, to health care, 

education, pensions and taxation and 

how this can all be successfully 

achieved in a free and independent 

Alberta. 

The message was one of hope and 

prosperity for the future.

Wainwright local goes ‘all-in’ to win 

Submitted 

Wainwright resident Rhonavie 

Bugayong made a fateful decision to 

add the ‘All-in’ to her Jan. 30 Poker 

Lotto ticket – it turned the $10,000 prize 

from matching a ‘royal flush’ into a 

much more significant windfall; a total 

Submitted 

‘The fine art of dance’ began for 

Jeannie (Willis) Zinger in 1952 in 

Stettler taking her first formal lesson 

of tap, ballet and highland from Loree 

Martin. 

She attended 

her first 

Highland Games 

in Red Deer in 

1952 winning a 

medal for ‘The 

Highland Fling’. 

This was the 

beginning of 

many Highland 

competitions 

which were held 

throughout 

Alberta, 

Saskatchewan, 

British Columbia 

and Ontario. 

In 1959 at 14 

years of age, 

Jeannie began 

teaching dance in 

Stettler and 

staged her first 

revue that year. 

During this 

time she continued 

to take her 

own lessons in 

Red Deer and 

Banff and spent 

six weeks in New 

York. 

Over the years 

Jeannie has 

taught in Castor, 

Stettler, Halkirk 

and Byemoor. 

She started 

teaching in 

Coronation in 

1969 and continues 

to instruct 

at the Zinger 

LAW N & GA R DEN 

of $134,984.90. 

Bugayong purchased the ticket at 

Tofield ESSO on Jan. 30 – the day 

before travelling outside Canada. 

The ticket remained unchecked until 

Bugayong returned and the winner

Attractive mulch 

Do you want to beautify your yard? 

If so, here are four mulches you may 

want to use in your garden. 

1. Cedar mulch is available in a 

variety of colours. It lasts for several 

years and is suitable to use around the 

base of trees and hedges. However, it’s 

not recommended for flower beds or 

vegetable gardens. 

2. Hulls from cocoa beans, peanut 

shells and buckwheat decompose naturally 

over time and nourish your soil. 

Consequently, vegetable gardens benefit 

greatly from hull mulch. However, 

cocoa bean hulls can be hazardous to 

dogs. 

3. Ramial fragmented wood mulch 

slowly decomposes over two years. It’s 

made of shredded hardwood branches 

and is one of the best choices for vegetable 

gardens and flower beds. 

4. Recycled glass that’s been crushed 

into small fragments is safe to use as 

mulch but shouldn’t be mixed with 

soil. Instead, it should be layered on 

top of landscaping fabric. It’s perfect 

for plants that tolerate heat and 

drought.

Review

Brenda Schimke 


Premier Kenney, with the help of the 

executive of the provincial United 

Conservative Party, has a simple solution 

to all problems, “if you can’t win 

the game, change the rules.” 

First the rules were changed so that 

an early leadership review in the fall 

couldn’t happen. Later a delegation 

leadership review scheduled for Red 

Deer was cancelled in favour of 

mail-in-ballots. 

UCP members are just now starting 

to understand the significance of a 

mail-in-ballot in conjunction with Bill 

81, which was passed into law at 3:00 

a.m. on December 7 after a successful 

filibuster marshalled by Solicitor 

General Kaycee 

Madu, 

“ 

Transportation 

Minister Ric 

McIvor and 

Government 

House Leader 

Jason Nixon. 

Bill 81, an 

amendment to 

the Elections 

Act, included the 

provision that 

anyone can buy 

a political membership 

on 

behalf of 

another person 

without their consent. With this provision, 

a mail-in ballot significantly 

improves the odds Kenney could retain 

his job even though he’s the most 

unpopular conservative premier in the 

history of Alberta. 

At the time, Government House 

Leader, Jason Nixon compared the 

bulk purchasing of memberships in a 

political party to private sports clubs 

and local churches. “What do we do 

next?” asked Nixon. “Start to interfere 

with the membership process of crosscountry 

ski groups or the local 

fish-and-game club or the local 

church?” 

A shocking comment when you consider 

political parties are an integral 

part of ensuring fair and democratic 

elections and have always been governed 

by strict legislative rules 

enforced by the chief electoral officer. 

Even more shocking was Nixon 

didn’t know that all sports clubs and 

churches are governed under the 

Societies Act and elections, raising 

money and memberships are not a 

free-for-all. 

A mere month before the legislation 

was debated in 2021, Alberta’s chief 

electoral officer, Glen Resler, issued a 

bulletin that said buying party and 

Subscriptions: 

$52.50 in Canada; $98.70 in US;

[Kenny] leads the UCP 

is one more day that 

the United Conservative 

Party remains the most 

un-united party in the 

country. 

constituency association memberships 

for others is not allowed under 

Alberta’s Election Finances and 

Contributions Disclosure Act. 

The now-disgraced and fired 

Solicitor General Madu, the same guy 

who had contacted the Edmonton chief 

of police after receiving a distracted 

driving ticket in March of 2021, 

pronounced in December 2021 that 

Resler’s interpretation of bulk purchasing 

was wrong. We’ll see! 

Nixon at a later news conference 

denied the new measure could be used 

fraudulently. We’ll see! 

Albertans should be reminded that 

the RCMP is still investigating alleged 

election wrongdoings in the 2017 UCP 

leadership race won by Kenney. And 

let’s not forget former chief electoral 

officer, Lorne 

Gibson, was fired 

by the Kenney government 

when he 

was getting too 

close to uncovering 

facts about 

the “Kamikaze” 

campaign (alleged 

collusion between 

the Kenney and 

Jeff Callaway campaigns 

to defeat 

Brian Jean), and 

was in the process 

of fining individuals 

who had 

made illegal contributions 

to the Callaway campaign. 

Alas, Elections Alberta has now 

launched an investigation into complaints 

filed against the Kenney team 

for purchasing bulk memberships 

prior to the leadership review. 

In the letter uncovered by the CBC, 

the investigator writes, “depending on 

how these purchases were financed, a 

violation of the Election Finances and 

the Contributions Disclosure Act, may 

have occurred.” 

Jason Kenney and the provincial 

executive of the UCP party have shown 

that nothing will stop them from 

keeping Kenney in power, least of all 

fudging or breaking rules, muzzling 

dissent, changing legislation, cover 

ups or firing people. 

A stench has surrounded Jason 

Kenney ever since he returned from 

Ottawa. Each day he leads the UCP is 

one more day that the United 

Conservative Party remains the most 

un-united party in the country. 

If Jason Kenney cared about the 

UCP, he would have resigned months 

ago. But he didn’t and he won’t. He 

cares little for the citizens he governs, 

it’s all about Jason Kenney and his 

select few keeping their privilege, prestige 

and power.

Newspapers are 

not packaging 

Unlike product packaging, the newspaper 

is the product. 

Across the world, municipalities and 

provinces have been moving their 

recycling programmes to Extended 

Producer Responsibility (EPR). EPR is 

great in theory and in practice. It 

levies fees on manufacturers and 

retailers for the packaging that wraps 

everything from the food we eat to the 

toys our kids play with. Any parent 

who has helped their child open a new 

toy knows that between the thick 

plastic that practically takes garden 

shears to open, the twist ties, and the 

cardboard, there is still way too much 

wasteful packaging 

associated 

“ 

with so many 

products. 

EPR has one 

laudable objective: 

Reduce 

packaging in the 

waste/recycling 

stream. It does 

so by shifting 

the burden of 

Newspapers have 

had the highest level of 

collection of all recyclable 

materials. 

recycling costs from taxpayers to producers. 

When producers must pay 

these fees, they innovate and find ways 

to wrap their products in far less 

packaging. 

Since the advent of the Blue Box, 

newspapers have had the highest level 

of collection of all recyclable materials 

– more than plastics and even more 

than aluminum. Newspapers continue 

to be a valuable recovered resource in 

the recycling stream. They have a 

stable end market and high commercial 

value. And recycling newspapers 

saves trees. 

Newspapers have always been a 

public good – The dissemination of 

news to the public is a necessary element 

of a vibrant and healthy 

democracy and a well-functioning 

society. Fake news – around COVID-19, 

elections, and many other issues – has 

highlighted the importance and value

of credible news provided by trusted 

media sources. 

Newspapers allow the reader to 

pause, engage and reflect – providing 

an important service that is not met 

through other media. 

So, what does any of this have to do 

with extended producer 

responsibility? 

Until recently in Ontario, the EPR 

program in most provinces of Canada 

has treated newspapers the same as 

waste packaging. Unlike product packaging, 

the newspaper is the product. 

Publishers have moved to thinner 

paper to lower our footprint. 

Driving up the 

cost of newspaper 

production with 

EPR fees drives 

down the content 

as newspapers 

are forced to cut 

pages and, therefore, 

value to 

readers. The 

knock-on effects 

are a loss of jobs 

in a sector that is already facing many 

external challenges, and a less 

informed citizenry. 

Across Canada, newspapers face a 

patchwork of provincial regulations, 

administrative regimes and fees. The 

levies charged are based on opaque 

formulas often devised by monopolies 

controlled by waste haulers, retailers, 

and consumer packaged goods companies. 

In British Columbia, for example, 

the levy on newsprint went up by 80 

per cent in a single year, while the levy 

on plastics remained flat. 

We cannot have a misguided system 

that puts newspapers at risk at a time 

when the public needs trusted sources 

of information more than ever before. 

The unintended consequences of 

EPR on newspapers are to reduce the 

number of pages in a newspaper or for 

the paper to simply close.

Kneehill County’s 2022 

budgets total over $24 million 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism initiative reporter 


Kneehill County residents will see 

an increase on their tax bills in 2022, 

which comes at them from a few different 

sources. 

County council approved the 2022 

tax rate bylaw at their April 26 regular 

meeting. 

The 2022 tax rate bylaw was presented 

to councillors by Caroline 

Siverson, property tax officer, and 

Marika von Mirbach, financial planning 

coordinator. 

Von Mirbach reiterated the agenda 

memo by stating that, “The annual 

budget determines the total amount of 

taxes to be levied on residents and 

businesses of the community for the 

budget year. 

The 2022 operating and capital 

budget was passed at the March 22, 

2022, council meeting and requires 

that $24,011,496 be collected from ratepayers 

to maintain the municipality’s 

operations.” 

While the staff presentation didn’t 

specifically identify any percentage 

increase to tax rates, it was noted 

Kneehill County property owners 

taxes were increasing but the exact 

amount is dependent on property 

zoning and market factors. 

“The individual impact on each ratepayer 

will be dependent on the change 

in assessment which their property 

experienced during the last year. 

The typical hamlet home (assessed 

at $100,000) will see a $26 annual 

increase, acreage homes (assessed at 

$300,000) will see an increase of $79 

annually and 

farmland 

(quarter section) 

will see an 

increase of $47 

annually,” von 

Mirbach noted 

from the agenda 

memo. 

“Industry will 

also see a proportional 

increase in 

their annual 

taxes based on 

their change in 

assessment. The 

new assessed 

values will be 

detailed on the 

combined assessment/tax 

notices.” 

During discussion 

von Mirbach 

noted the 2022 

budget was “constrained” 

and 

Kneehill County 

saw revenue 

KNEEHILL COUNCIL 

issues related to provincial government 

policy decisions. 

She noted residents would see “... 

some moderate increases” in some tax 

rates. 

It was also noted at the meeting the 

county also collects requisitions for 

other governments and organizations, 

the largest of which was the provincial 

government’s education tax. 

“The requisition for school purposes 

has increased by $163,790 or 3.2 per 

cent from 2021 for a total requisition of 

$5,330,788 in 2022 compared to 

$5,166,998 in 2021,” stated the agenda 

memo. von Mirbach also noted the 

Kneehill Housing Corporation and Dip 

Requisition were both down slightly 

from last year. 

Reeve Jerry Wittstock stated councillors 

and staff spent a lot of time 

working on the 2022 budget. 

There was no other discussion about 

the 2022 tax rate bylaw. Councillors 

unanimously passed all readings of 

the 2022 tax rate bylaw to bring it into 

effect. 

Special bylaws 

Councillors also approved several 

special tax bylaws related to specific 

places. Local improvement bylaws 

were all passed for Grainger, Selkirk 

and Sunnyslope. 

Lastly, councillors also approved the 

Trochu recreation levy.

Busy firefighters 


Councillors read the regular 

quarterly report of 

Regional Fire Chief Drayton 

Bussiere, who noted the Alix 

department had engaged in 

substantial training 

recently and he was very 

proud of their work. 

Councillors looked at the 

fire department numbers for 

the period of January 2022 

to March 2022 and noted 

their fire department had 43 

callouts that added up to 220 

hours and 23 minutes. 

The CAO noted the number of 

callouts is about average, but 

the amount of time Alix firefighters 

spent on the calls is 

“higher than expected.” 

The report stated that three 

motor vehicle collisions 

required 44 hours of work from 

the Alix firefighters. It was also 

stated the Alix department 

responded to 24 calls within the 

village boundaries. 

White stated she likes to point 

out how dedicated Alix firefighters 

are. Councillors 

accepted the report for 

information. 

Right of way 

Councillors unanimously 

agreed to update right-of-way 

(ROW) agreements with 

Fortis Alberta as the company 

plans upgrades to its 

power line network. 

White explained the village 

has one ROW agreement on 

municipal reserve within 

Pheasant Trail while another is 

located on the village’s lagoon 

property. 

The lagoon site, while village 

property, is not located within 

the village’s boundaries; it’s 

actually located within 

Lacombe County.

OBITUARY 

Lived a life of love and compassion 

Louise Isabel Shepherd 

1934 ~ 2022 

Louise Isabel Shepherd (Tondu) of 

Stettler passed away peacefully with 

her family by her side on May 5, 2022. 

Louise was born in Wainwright and 

raised on the family’s farm in the Gilt 

Edge community near the Battle 

River, where her father Louis farmed 

and her mother Mae taught school. 

The eldest of four children, Louise 

was surrounded by the love of her parents, 

her grandparents George and 

Marie, her siblings and many cousins 

from the large Tondu family that had 

moved from Thurso, Quebec to homestead 

in the area. 

Following her 

primary schooling, 

Louise was educated 

at a convent 

in Wainwright and 

she spoke fondly of 

the sisters who 

taught her piano 

and self discipline. 

Louise left 

Wainwright at a 

young age to work 

in Red Deer at the 

Shepherd 

Michener Centre, an experience which 

ingrained her with love and respect 

for the mentally disabled. Louise then 

moved to Erskine and then Stettler 

during which time she met John. 

John and Louise were married in 

Wainwright in 1953 and raised their 

family in Stettler where John worked 

for Gulf Oil while Louise worked 

alongside many life-long friends at 

Morley’s Diner and Alberta 

Government Telephones. 

Consequences 


This has a detrimental effect on 

both readers and advertisers across 

Canada. 

Recently, the Ontario government 

issued a regulation that will exempt 

newspapers from EPR levies in the 

province. Canada’s newspaper publishers 

applaud this change, and we 

hope other provinces will follow 

Ontario’s lead. 

Alberta is about to put an EPR 

regime in place, and British Columbia 

is working through changes in that 

province. We hope Premier Jason 

Kenney and Premier John Horgan 

will exempt newspapers. 

To its considerable credit, the federal 

government has taken 

meaningful steps to support local journalism 

across Canada. Provincial and 

municipal governments should not 

undo that with punitive fees that are 

based on the flawed premise that 

newspapers are unnecessary and 

wasteful packaging. 

Jamie Irving is Chair and Paul 

Deegan is President and Chief 

Executive Officer of News Media 

Canada 

Louise and John were blessed with 

many friends with whom they shared 

several passions including card games, 

curling and horseback riding. 

Louise had a deep compassion for 

animals of every kind and a particular 

fondness for horses which was passed 

on to her children and which ultimately 

led to the family moving to an 

acreage near Erskine. 

The family enjoyed many trail rides 

with the Stettler Light Horse 

Association and the Erskine 4-H Horse 

club. 

After John’s passing in 1984 Louise 

moved back into town where she 

resumed her passion for curling, culminating 

in a NACA championship in 

1999 alongside Eve Snodgrass, Gladys 

Groat and Teri Nolte. 

She travelled widely with her dear 

friends, Al and Doreen Haney, enjoyed 

gardening and became deeply engaged 

in the community through the Royal 

Purple and her work at Superfluity 

thrift store. 

She enjoyed seeing her family grow 

to five living generations for whom she 

hosted many family celebrations. 

Louise lived a life of love and compassion. 

She taught us to respect all 

people, to stand against cruelty, to 

treasure your friends and to give more 

than you receive. 

Louise’s family expresses our profound 

appreciation for the love and 

care that Louise received at Royal Oak 

in Lacombe, where she had been 

residing for just over a year at the time 

of her passing. 

Louise is survived by her children: 

Dianne (Ron) Paton, Rick (Debbie) 

Shepherd, Bob (Liz) Shepherd and 

Caro Block (Bob); grandchildren: 

Candice, Tracey (Kevin), Johnpaul 

(Christa), Charlotte (Robert), Nolan 

(Myranda), Joel (Kerri), Alex, Will, 

Brianna (Jarrad) and Bryre (Emily). 

She is also survived by great-grandchildren: 

Kylie (Dave), Sienna (Justin), 

Courtney (Matt), Chance, Dillon, 

Damion, Lexus, Ben (Roisin), Jed, 

Jake, Rex, Liam, Sam, Eva, Ella, 

Tisdale - CWRS

great-grandchildren: Kodie, Jace,

OBITUARIES 

Always found time to visit, coffee always on 

Franklin Roy Edward Dummett was 

born on Feb. 9, 1930 at the Coronation 

Hospital and was the third of four children 

born to Frank and Pauline 

Dummett. 

Frank was raised on the family farm 

northeast of Coronation, Alta. where 

he attended the Hart School and later 

moved to the homestead southwest of 

Coronation and attended both Lucerne 

and Lake Thelma School up until 

Grade 9 when he decided to quit school 

and join the work force. 

In 1952 he met his future 

wife, Peggy Plautz and they 

were married the following 

year on Nov. 16, 1953 in 

Duffield, Alta. and moved 

into Coronation from the 

farm. 

To this union there were 

three children born; Bill in 

1954, Brian in 1957 and 

Brenda in 1958. 

Frank spent a few years Dummett 

working at the Coronation 

Seed Cleaning Plant, then at the 

lumber yard, as well as driving fuel 

truck for B/A Oil Company. 

The family moved to Fort St. John in 

1965 where Frank began running 

grader for a small oilfield construction 

company. He then began his 20-year 

career as a grader operator for the B.C. 

Ministry of Highways. 

In March of 1988 he received his 

achievement plaque from the Ministry 

of Highways and a gun rack from the 

Montney District, of which he was very 

proud. 

Frank and Peggy then began their 

“gypsy years.” They moved back and 

forth from Coronation to Montney 

where they lived in the old Montney 

Store, then onto Drayton Valley where 

Frank helped his brother-in-law out at 

his car dealership, Mayhew Motors, 

while Peggy ran a dayhome. 

Following that, Frank spent a few 

years as a foreman and educator for 

the B.C. highways department in 

Prince George. 

They then decided to buy a condo in 

Osoyoos where they enjoyed warmer 

weather with friends for eight years, 

spending their winters there and summers 

back on the farm, before finally 

retiring from their gypsy days and settling 

back down in Coronation for 

good. 

Frank spent nearly every day 

driving back and forth out to the farm, 

working on anything he could 

get his hands on, right up until 

he was nearly 92 years old. 

He always found time for a 

visit and the coffee was always 

on! 

He was also an avid hockey 

fan and everyone knew not 

make a peep or walk in front of 

the TV during good ol’ Hockey 

Night In Canada! 

Frank was predeceased by 

his parents, Frank and 

Pauline Dummett; his brother 

Kenneth, sister Victoria; brothers-inlaw 

Clifford and Melvin, as well as his 

granddaughter, Larrissa. 

Frank is survived by his loving wife 

Peggy; his children Bill (Karen) 

Dummett, Brian Dummett, Brenda 

Gregor (Don); grandchildren Byron 

(Kirsten) Dummett, Bradley (Lindsey) 

Dummett, Ryan Dummett, Corey 

(Kayla) Dummett, Jennifer Dummett, 

Becky (Stephane) Rocque ; and 

numerous great-grandchildren, who 

always brought a smile to his face and 

kept him young at heart. 

He is also survived by his sister, Eva 

Wadstein, as well as numerous nieces 

and nephews and other family members 

whom he treasured. 

A social gathering will be held in the 

Golden Age Drop In Centre, 

Coronation, Alta. on Sat. May 14, 2022

Hanna’s secret 

Advertorial 

Hanna has a secret and it’s on the 

east end of town! If you go, there it’s 

like walking back in time. 

As you walk down Patzer Way you 

will see old buildings containing treasures 

of yesteryears. 

The ranch house, store, school, 

church, railway station, caboose, a 

building containing old machinery 

and one of the first electric cars. 

Years ago, George Patzer retired 

along with most of his volunteers. He 

wrote an article in the paper telling us 

we would lose this treasure if we didn’t 

step up and take an interest.
