DELBURNE COUNCIL 

Property owner’s plea to reinstate water service 

Brenda Schimke 

ECA Review 

Ken and Margaret 

Minifie-Cloutier presented 

their case to the Delburne 

village council on July 19 

seeking permission to continue 

using village water 

when visiting their property 

in Delburne. 

Although the property 

has sewer and water 

hookups, a house has yet to 

be built and instead, they 

park their RV on the property 

while visiting. 

Recently they received a 

letter from the village 

stating that water would no 

longer be provided as this 

type of hookup could possibly 

contaminate the 

village water. 

They said they have 

always kept the property 

maintained, paid all the fees 

required, including a $50 

monthly consumption fee in 

lieu of a meter, and would be 

more than willing to pay 

any additional fees. 

They, however, couldn’t 

understand how their setup 

affected the health and 

safety of the village’s water 

system any more than 

campground hookups or 

outside hoses on homes. 

“The change of policy”, 

 

said Coun. Andy Folks, “was 

so that everybody that has 

services to their property, 

even those that don’t utilize 

it, need to share in the cost 

of funding the future (services). 

Sometimes it leads to 

this.” 

“Council had made a 

change on how the village 

handles turning water on 

for the summer and shutting 

it off for the winter and our 

policy choice inadvertently 

caught you,” said Mayor 

Tim Wilson. 

Councillor unanimously 

passed a motion to reinstate 

water service to the Minifie- 

Cloutier property. 

They will be required to 

pay all fees and install a 

backflow preventer. These 

conditions would cease upon 

the sale of the property. 

Fees increase 

Changes to the Fees & 

Charge Bylaw No. 1182/2022 

included adjustments to fees 

that were too low to cover 

the actual costs of the 

services. 

The base fee for the village 

to clean up a private 

property has been increased 

to $200. It is hoped this 

increase will discourage 

property owners from 

counting on village staff to 

KNEEHILL COUNCIL 

look after their snow, weeds 

and grass. 

The application fee under 

the land use bylaw will 

move from $150 to $300. The 

fee has been the same since 

1997, yet costs, such as 

advertising, have continued 

to rise. 

The recycling fees 

increased to $4.91 for curbside 

pick up per the contract 

and a $1.50 yard compost fee 

has been added. 

Popularity of village 

newsletter 

Because of the village 

newsletter’s popularity, too 

much demand has been 

placed on its space and on 

the staff. 

A policy was proposed 

and unanimously approved 

setting out content submission 

guidelines and 

confirming that village 

staff could no longer offer 

design services. 

“We’ll accept the policy 

and then wait for feedback 

to see if any changes need to 

be made,” said Coun.Jeff 

Bourne.

Kneehill County council 

unanimously approved rezoning 

a parcel of land to 

light industrial (LI) to 

reflect how that property 

was already being used. The 

re-zoning bylaw passed 

second and third reading 

after a public hearing July 

19. 

The public hearing to consider 

a re-zoning application 

was opened by Deputy Reeve 

Ken King, with the application 

presented by staffer 

Brandi Hay-Morgan. 

The application was based 

around Bylaw #1857 which 

proposed re-zoning a portion 

of SE-22-30-25-W4 plan 

011 2534 block A lot 1 from 

agriculture to light industrial 

zoning. 

The application in question 

already passed first 

reading at the June 14 

council meeting. 

Hay Morgan described the 

application: “Ext Capital 

Inc. is the current landowner 

of the SE 22-30-25 W4 

and have recently purchased 

this property in 

February of 2022,” she 

stated. 

“The parcel was purchased 

by the new owners 

with the impression that the 

lands were already zoned 

commercial or industrial 

use.” 

Hay-Morgan explained 

that upon further investigation 

it was revealed that 

although the property was 

being used for LI purposes it 

was still zoned agriculture. 

“The proposed site is 

located approximately 2.5 

miles southeast of the 

Village of Linden as the 

crow flies,” stated the 

meeting agenda memo. 

The site is accessed via 

Range Road 252 and is five 

miles south of TWP Rd 304. 

The applicants currently 

store their business products 

(concrete forms) in one 

bay and are looking to lease 

the other three bays to other 

businesses for warehousing 

purposes. 

It was noted that all current 

or proposed uses are 

allowed under the LI zoning. 

Hay-Morgan noted the 

county did not receive any 

public feedback, either in 

support or opposed, for the 

application and no one came 

forward that the hearing. 

Deputy Reeve King noted 

the applicant was present for 

the public hearing and gave 

Ext Capital Inc. a chance to 

speak but the company representative 

declined. 

Later in the meeting councillors 

considered the 

application. 

It was noted at a previous 

meeting that the location in 

question has been in operation 

for a number of years 

and isn’t new. 

Councillors unanimously 

approved all 

readings of the 

re-zoning bylaw 

to bring it into 

effect. 

Karen Fegan has contacted 

Chris George of MPE 

Engineering Ltd. to get a 

second opinion on the letter 

from the Environment & 

Parks 

Department dated March 

30. 

It was not clear what the 

department was actually 

asking the village to do in 

regards to further environmental 

testing on the bistro 

site. 

The company that does 

the testing, ParklandGEO 

Ltd., reviewed the letter and 

said we may need to do 

another phase 2, which 

would be very costly. 

No decision was made. 

New businesses 

Two new business 

licences were issued for 

Delburne Liquor and 

Delburne Foods (previously 

Supervalu) and a third 

for Dodong’s Foods which 

will offer ready-to-cook 

Philipino products.

MORRIN COUNCIL 

Council unsure about owning 

contaminated property 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism Initiative reporter 


Morrin village council sounded 

unsure about whether or not to acquire 

a contaminated property with an 

unpaid tax bill. The discussion was 

held at the July 20 council meeting. 

The council meeting agenda package 

contained some information about the 

former Gas Plus property which is 

located on Main Street Morrin; at previous 

council meetings councillors 

have discussed the fact an unpaid tax 

bill is connected to the property along 

with an underground contamination 

which apparently was linked to the 

property’s past use as a service station. 

The documentation was correspondence 

between the village and Alberta 

Environment and some of it was dated 

2021. 

Village Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Annette Plachner stated that the 

Municipal Government Act (MGA) 

may contain a clause that makes the 

village responsible for the contamination 

clean-up if the municipality takes 

ownership of that property. 

Mayor Chris Hall stated he wondered 

if in 45 years the contamination 

may have lessened; he also wondered 

how serious the contamination was. 

Councillors discussed having the property 

tested, and noted that they were 

not sure how to do that. 

Coun. Lorraine MacArthur stated 

she was hesitant to take the property if 

the village faced a large clean-up bill. 

During discussion it was noted that 

the property in question sometimes 

has a smell associated with it. 

School details 

Council held a public hearing for a 

re-zoning application, then dealt with 

that application and a subsequent subdivision 

request all for the property 

the new school is being built on. 

During the public hearing Palliser 

Regional Planning Services staffer 

Garry Wilson presented to councillors 

the re-zoning application from the 

former Starland School Division, now 

called Prairie Land School Division, to 

re-zone the new school property from 

commercial to community services. 

Wilson noted years ago it was likely 

thought the property in question might 

someday be used for new businesses. 

For the school to be located there it 

needed to be re-zoned. 

No concerns were aired about the 

application and after the public 

hearing was closed councillors unanimously 

approved second and third 

readings of the re-zoning bylaw. 

Then Wilson presented the subdivision 

application. 

The school division requested a subdivision 

for the old gymnasium to sit 

on its own parcel so that it can be sold 

to another group. 

Councillors unanimously approved 

the subdivision request. 

Drumheller seniors6 

Coun. M’Liss Edwards presented a 

request via email from the Drumheller 

and District Seniors Foundation that 

Morrin council approve extending the 

foundation’s loan by between $2 million 

to $3 million which would allow 

the foundation to expand a facility. 

Edwards noted without the loan 

extension the addition cannot be built. 

Edwards stated as far as she knew 

the loan extension would not affect the 

village’s requisition. 

The CAO responded she thought an 

increased loan must affect Morrin’s 

requisition. Edwards responded she 

knew that the foundation wants to 

borrow an additional $2 million for the 

addition. 

Coun. MacArthur stated she felt the 

foundation should have sent a formal 

letter for this request and Plachner 

agreed. 

“Why can’t people do that?” asked 

MacArthur. 

Edwards responded the foundation 

doesn’t expect the loan to be as much 

as $3 million. 

“They don’t expect it to be that 

much,” said Edwards. 

MacArthur asked how other 

member municipalities were contacted 

and Edwards responded some members 

have already approved extending 

the loan. 

“They’ve already approved it” said 

Edwards. “Drumheller’s approved it, 

Delia’s approved it.” 

MacArthur responded she would not 

approve it until she saw a letter from 

the foundation explaining how big the 

loan would be and whether it affects 

Morrin’s requisition. 

Councillors agreed to request such a 

letter from the foundation. 

Service station 

During council reports Mayor Hall 

noted he’s had discussions with UFA 

managers from the Calgary office 

about getting a service station built in 

Morrin. 

“He said Morrin is on the list,” said 

Hall, referring to communities where 

a UFA service station has apparently 

been considered. 

Mayor Hall stated UFA plans to send 

staff out in the fall to investigate the 

feasibility of developing a service station 

in Morrin. 

Councillors discussed available 

property in the village. 

Lions Club 

Council received a response from 

the local Lions Club regarding several 

requests the village council made at a 

previous meeting all related to the 

Main Street park. Previously councillors 

asked if the club would be 

interested in painting the gazebo and 

adding lights. 

The Lions Club declined, noting 

they liked the way the gazebo looks 

as-is and lights could be set up temporarily 

as needed. They also asked if 

the sign could be moved. 

Council agreed the sign can be 

moved as the club requested.

REAL ESTATE/HOMES 

Voices support for RCMP’s ‘call to action’ 

at the Stettler location is September 11 from 11am-3pm 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism 

Initiative reporter 


Big Valley village council will 

support the RCMP’s bargaining 

unit’s efforts to remain 

Alberta’s primary provincial 

police force. The decision to support 

a “call to action” was made 

at the July 14 regular meeting of 

council. 

Village Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO) Elaine 

Macdonald presented councillors 

with a document somewhat 

similar to one they’d already 

read at a previous council 

meeting on a request from 

Mayor Dan Houle. 

Mayor Houle asked that councillors 

reconsider a “Call to 

Action” request from the 

RCMP’s bargaining unit, the 

National Police Federation 

(NFP), that the village voice 

support for the RCMP amidst 

the provincial government’s 

quest for a provincial police 

force. 

Houle explained the village 

originally did not support the 

letter because councillors 

thought it came from the provincial 

government. 

 

Houle stated he supported the 

RCMP and wondered, with 

changes to community peace 

officers and sheriffs, if Alberta 

actually needs another police 

force. 

CAO Macdonald noted the 

RCMP will still have to remain 

in Alberta anyway for certain 

federal investigations. 


approved putting their support 

behind the RCMP. 

Electronic bylaw 

The village held a public 

hearing for Bylaw 869 

Electronic Transmission of 

Documents, which was called to 

order at 6:30 p.m. by Mayor 

Houle. The CAO noted there 

were no members of the public 

present for the public hearing, 

so it was closed. 

Material included in the 

agenda package showed the 

bylaw allows residents to 

receive certain information 

through electronic means such 

as email, and also included an 

email authorization form that it 

appears residents would be 

required to fill out. 

Later in the meeting councillors 

approved all readings of the 

bylaw to bring it into effect. 

BIG VALLEY COUNCIL 

Emergency management 

Councillors examined and 

approved two documents 

related to emergency management, 

Bylaw 870 Regional 

Emergency Management and 

the Stettler Regional 

Emergency Management 

Partnership Agreement. 

CAO Macdonald noted the 

bylaw is mandatory under the 

MGA, and defines how such 

actions as the declaration of a 

state of local emergency will be 

conducted. 

Mayor Houle asked how such 

things are handled if village 

councillors are out of town or 

otherwise unable to respond. 

Macdonald noted the bylaw 

states the declaration has to be 

made by a specific committee of 

the mayor with one councillor 

or two councillors so that 

should cover the problem. 

Councillors then looked at the 

agreement; they discussed 

requirements such as liability 

insurance. 

Houle noted that so much 

insurance is needed now that it 

seems nobody wants to have fun 

anymore. 

Councillors discussed tabling 

the agreement to see if any 

other partners had concerns 

Planning requirement cancelled 

Daniel Gonzalez 


The cancellation of a deferred 

reserve dedication, established by the 

Red Deer Regional Planning 

Commission in 1977, was brought to 

council at the July 19 regular meeting. 

According to the Director of 

Community Services, Todd Pawsey, 

the planning requirement outlined 

that subdivisions reserve 10 per cent of 

land for the municipality. 

A lease expansion application for 

NE20-35-9-W inquired about the location 

of the deferred reserve. 

According to the planning requirement, 

15.9 acres of the 159-acre area 

would act as the deferred reserve. 

Administration noted that there is 

no defined area, and the county 

should not have exercised that option 

PAINTEARTH COUNCIL 

45 years ago. 

The county could take the land at 

any time by giving notice to the landowner 

for school or municipal 

purposes. 

Discussions with the Subdivision 

Planner at the Palliser Regional 

Municipal Services (PRMS), Gary 

Wilson, noted that the PRMS can 

remove the deferred reserve caveat at 

any time. 

Council moved to have the caveat of 

a deferred reserve from the land title. 

Administration will communicate 

with the landowner to receive a letter 

of acknowledgement. 

Baseball 

Funding applications for the 2022 

Alberta U11 Baseball and the U11

both applications.

job, saves thousands on tender 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism initiative reporter 


The Town of Stettler awarded its 

water reservoir painting tender to a 

Calgary company, and it turns out the 

town will save some money on the 

project after all. 

The decision to award the tender was 

made at the July 19 regular meeting of 

council. 

Director of Operations Melissa 

Robbins presented councillors with the 

results of a request for proposal (RFP) 

for painting of the large concrete water 

reservoir located adjacent to the fire 

department headquarters on 47th Ave. 

It appeared issuing a new RFP after 

some challenges with a previous contractor 

paid off for the town. 

Town council previously awarded 

painting of the water reservoir to a 

company called AlumaSafway, which 

bid just over $41,000 for the job. As they 

were not able to do the work in the fall 

of 2021, the job was bumped to 2022. 

However, Robbins reported at a previous 

meeting AlumaSafway 

approached the town with concerns 

 

about inflation, which Robbins stated 

wasn’t unusual in the current 

economy but the company and the 

town were unable to come to an agreement 

on how much more Stettler 

should pay for the job. 

As out turned out AlumaSafway told 

the town it would need between $98,000 

to $105,000 to do the work, and Robbins 

noted she wasn’t able to negotiate a 

better deal with the company. 

Town council eventually withdrew 

the offer to AlumaSafway and 

instructed Robbins to re-list the job. 

Two bids were received and the low 

one was actually lower than what 

AlumaSafway originally asked for. 

Robbin’s report noted a Calgary 

company called AG Creations bid 

$37,000 to paint the water reservoir, 

while another company, United 

Supreme Group Inc., bid $447,442, 

which Robbins noted during her presentation 

illustrated “extreme 

differences” between the two bids. 

It seemed, stated Robbins, the much 

higher bid from United Supreme Group 

Inc. included repairs to the concrete 

structure. 

She stated she did reference checks 

STARLAND COUNCIL 

Levy on sand and gravel 

Daniel Gonzalez 


Starland County will introduce a 

levy on sand and gravel pits through a 

new bylaw presented at the July 20 regular 

meeting. 

The proposed bylaw titled the 

Community Aggregate Payment Levy 

would apply to all sand and gravel 

businesses that operate in Starland 

County. 

The revenues from the levy rate of 

$0.40 per tonne of sand and gravel will 

pay for infrastructure and other costs 

in the municipality. The new policy 

will outline procedures to be followed 

and ensure bylaw enforcement. 

According to Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO) Shirley Bremer, the 

county will provide forms to monitor 

the levy. 

Businesses must complete the forms 

within 30 days at the end of March, 

June, September and December. 

Penalties for late payments will be 

imposed, with failure to report shipments 

costing $2,500 with an 

additional $5,000 penalty within 12 

months. 

Council and staff will report known 

sites to public works administration to 

notify owners and operators of the 

requirements and provide them with 

report forms. 

CAO Bremer noted that although 

administration and peace officers will 

enforce the bylaw, it will also rely on 

the honour system. 

Council moved to read and approve 

the bylaw. 

Streamlining fee 

A new bylaw will streamline the fee 

process for municipal services in 

Starland County. 

The Municipal Services Fee bylaw 

will repeal two bylaws from 2000 and 

2005, which will list all rates and fees 

for the various services, permits and 

licences offered by Starland County. 

CAO Bremer outlines that this will 

be more efficient for ratepayers as they 

can find a majority of costs for the different 

services in one location. 

Prices and services listed under the 

new bylaw include administration and 

finance, Ag Service Board, cemeteries, 

operations, parks and recreation, planning 

and development, protective 

services and utilities. 

All fees in each category have been 

reviewed, updated, added or removed 

due to lack of applicability or 

relevance. 

Due to the price of services offered in 

Starland County changing, council 

will review the bylaw annually to 

ensure consistency or adjust prices 

accordingly. 

Council unanimously moved to 

approve the implementation of the new 

bylaw that will take effect Jan. 1, 2023.. 

Kish property 

An update on the clean-up for the 

Kish property located on 2975AH, 

Rumsey, Alta. was presented to 

council. 

The property, described as a “hoarder’s 

house,” contained several 

computers, four loads of tires, four 

loads of metals and 6 barrels of 

cooking oil as items listed on the 

cleanup. 

With cleanup on the property and 

yard complete, it has been boarded up 

and fenced off for the time being. 

A sea-can on the property contained 

equipment and machinery. Council 

intends to bring the sea-can back to 

Starland County. 

Although it is a tax sale property 

with an interested buyer, there was a 

discussion about demolishing the 

property. 

Council decided it would not be costeffective 

as it would require a $20,000 

assessment to check for asbestos in the 

house with another estimated $10,000 

to move it. 

The property will continue to be 

maintained and sealed off. No decision 

was made on what will happen to the 

sea-can or its contents. 

Council moved to accept the report 

as information. 

Stettler town council awarded its water reservoir painting tender to a Calgary company, and it 

turns out the town will save some money on the project after all. ECA Review/File photo

great. It turns out the company in 

question has experience working on 

shopping mall parkades. 

Robbins stated she was confident in 

offering the job to AG Creations. 

The director of operations told councillors 

she would also like about 

$13,000 set aside as a contingency and 

that the company wanted to start the 

project as soon as possible. 

Coun. Scott Pfeiffer asked how long 

a paint job on the water reservoir 

lasts. Robbins answered it should last

A fool’s errand 

Brenda Schimke 


Once again, the Canadian 

Constitution takes a bite out of Dr. 

Brian Day’s 11-year pursuit to overturn 

Canada’s public health care 

system. A private-health care advocate 

and investor, Dr. Day had his latest 

appeal dismissed by the B.C. Court of 

Appeal. His failed argument, people 

have the constitutional right to privately 

purchase health care when the 

public system takes too long. 

It’s a lesson that supporters of Pierre 

Poilievre, Danielle Smith and Brian 

Jean should consider. 

Dr. Day’s lawyer’s argument focused 

on Section 7 of the charter, which 

reads, “Everyone has the right to life, 

liberty and security of the person and 

right not to be deprived thereof except 

in accordance with the principles of 

fundamental 

justice.” 

“ 

His argument 

failed, yet again, 

to meet the conditions 

under 

Section 1, which 

puts limitations 

around individual 

rights and 

freedoms. Dr. 

Day was unsuccessful 

in 

proving private 

health care 

delivery wouldn’t 

negatively impact 

the public 

system. 

Throughout 

the Canadian 

constitution, there is an overriding 

theme of a society that values fairness 

and needs based over individual 

rights. The equalization program and 

public health care are two such 

examples. 

Another example was when the 

courts found that COVID vaccination 

restrictions in public areas, airplanes 

and workplaces during a pandemic 

were not unconstitutional. Everyone 

had the right not to be vaccinated but 

everyone didn’t have the right to put 

others in danger. 

The same argument applied to the 

Ottawa occupation and border blockades—they 

became illegal, not because 

people don’t have the freedom to protest—but 

they don’t have the right to 

take away the livelihood or the 

peaceful existence of others. 

The Constitution also got in the way 

of former Premier William Aberhart’s 

legislation to assert Alberta’s independence 

over currency, Preston 

Manning’s elected Senate push, and 

Stephen Harper’s move to change the 

rules for judicial appointments to the 

Supreme Court. 

In 2014, Prime Minister Stephen 

Harper appointed Marc Nadon to the 

Supreme Court even though unqualified. 

In a pre-emptive move, Harper 

included a provision in the 2013 budget 

bill that would change the appointment 

eligibility to match Naden’s 

qualifications. 

In a 6 - 1 decision, a majority of justices 

on the top court ruled that Nadon 

didn’t qualify to join them in the court. 

In a separate opinion, they ruled 

Supreme Court provisions in the 

budget bill are void because the legislative 

branch does not have the power to 

make amendments to the constitution 

unilaterally. Constitutional amendments 

also require the approval of 

seven provinces representing 50 per 

cent of the 

population.

the Charter of 

in the world? 

Right and 

Freedoms. 

Have ‘these 

three’ solved the seven-province, 50 

per cent population conundrum that 

has tripped up all those before? 

How do ‘these three’ plan to get 

around a Canadian justice system 

which has a reputation for being one of 

the strongest independent judiciaries 

in the world? 

Dr. Day’s persistence in bringing his 

privatization argument before multiple 

courts year after year and getting the 

same decision—‘unconstitution’al— 

could be labelled a fool’s errand. 

The previous attempts by right-wing 

leaders to change the constitution 

through legislation has ended the 

same way—‘unconstitutional’. 

For ‘these three’ to promise the ‘all 

but impossible’, is not only a fool’s 

errand, but it shows complete disregard 

for their supporters who, today, 

absolutely believe these promises are a 

‘done deal’ once their candidate is 

elected.

No one is safe 

in America 

Dear Editor, 

America is a divided country: blue 

states (progressives/liberals) versus 

red states (conservative). 

On the conservative side, 27 states 

have enacted voter suppression laws to 

restrict or prevent minorities from 

having political equality with white 

folks. 

They have enacted anti-abortion 

laws that will now come into effect 

since the US Supreme Court overturned 

Rove vs. Wade, the landmark 

court decision which legalized abortion 

in America. Those laws will deny 

women the right to choose their own 

destinies. 

The same “red states” have passed 

or are passing laws that will prevent 

teachers from discussing the problems 

of racism and bigotry in America. 

We’re seeing the same states banning 

books in schools and in public 

libraries. 

Those same “red states” reject any 

kind of meaningful legislation concerning 

gun violence in America. 

Why? Answer: The gun lobby, the 

National Rifle Association (NRA) and 

the Grand Old Party (GOP), often used 

interchangeably with the word 

Republican, have sold many 

Americans the idea that ownership of 

semi-automatic weapons and military 

grade weapons (AR-15s and AK-47s, for 

example) will protect Americans from 

“the bad guys”. 

Is America safer than Canada or any 

other democracy because it allows 

civilians to buy such weapons or to 

participate in unregulated armed 

militias? 

Hmm? Right now, the U.S. experiences 

1.5 mass shootings (four or more

people killed and or wounded per incident) 

per day. In 2021, 45, 030 

Americans lost their lives to gun 

violence. 

So far this year (2022) 23,701 

Americans have died from gun violence 

(source: Gun Violence Archive). 

Of those, 176 children (birth - 11 years 

of age) have died, 651 teenagers have 

died and 32 police officers have died. 

Consequently, no one is safe in 

America. Not in churches. Not in 

schools. Not in shopping malls. Not at 

concerts. Not on the highways. Not at 

social events and not even when 

attending funerals or weddings. 

So, why do the conservatives and the 

gun lobby push their gun agenda? 

Bottom line: To sell fear and to sell 

guns. 

The gun industry is big business. 

Consequently, Americans own more 

guns than any other people on this 

planet, and, as a result, suffer more 

deaths and wounded than any other 

people except for those involved in 

wars (the war in the Ukraine, the 

proxy wars in the Middle East, or the 

sectarian/religious wars in Africa). 

The individual who wrote the article 

“Should terrify any thinking person” 

is an example of a person selling fear 

and misinformation. 

In my opinion, he wants to see 

Canadians have the same access to 

deadly guns as the Americans. 

The writer fails, like the GOP and 

the gun lobby, to tell the people that 

they can still purchase pistols, rifles 

and shotguns. No one is suggesting 

otherwise, but the gun lobby continues 

to push the ‘fear factor’.

PARLIAMENT 

The Liberals’ ego-driven firearms policy 

by Damien C. Kurek, M.P. 

(Battle River—Crowfoot) 

Violent and 

serious crime 

has intensified 

since the 

Liberals took 

office in 2015. 

Driven by a 

failed, doublepronged 

approach of 

being soft-oncrime 

while 

simultaneously 

stomping on the rights 

of law-abiding Canadians, 

the Liberals have managed 

to jeopardize the safety of 

Canadians more than ever 

before. 

In the past few weeks, 

reports of political interference 

in the senseless killing 

of 22 people by a deranged 

gunman have inundated 

headlines across the nation. 

The written notes of Nova 

Scotia RCMP Supt. Darren 

Campbell, which was 

released as part of the Mass 

Casualty Commission 

probe, shows that in the 

early stages of the investigation, 

RCMP Commissioner, 

Brenda Lucki, pressured the 

RCMP referencing promises 

she made to the Minister 

and the Prime Minister. 

It is alarming to see once 

again just how low the 

Liberals will sink to push 

their agenda. 

Many of the firearms 

used by gangs to terrorize 

our communities 

and to conduct 

numerous types of 

illegal activity are 

smuggled from the 

United States or from 

other points of entry. 

Illegal gun trafficking 

is a major issue 

that is largely overlooked 

in the context of 

the Liberals’ public safety 

policy. Preventing criminals 

from attaining weapons 

before they can commit violence 

should be the 

objective. 

The circumstances surrounding 

Bill C-21 are 

further proof of the Liberals’ 

commitment to ignoring evidence 

on their political 

crusade to ban firearms. 

We want to see action on 

violent crime by all sides, 

but the Liberals and their 

Public Safety Minister need 

to put egos and partisanship 

aside for the sake of 

Canadians. While this is 

clear, the Liberals continue 

to take firearms away from 

those who follow the law and 

are also amending the criminal 

code to reduce penalties 

for serious crimes. 

Ironically, this includes 

UCP contestant 

Smook explains 

rural platform 

Advertorial 

Kevin Smook has outlined 

his priorities for growing 

and sustaining rural communities. 

Included are 

commitments to help rural 

municipalities and landowners 

collect unpaid 

oil-and-gas taxes and lease 

payments; combat rural 

crime; improve medical 

transportation; and 

support agricultural 

societies. 

Smook notes the 

frustration rural 

municipalities are 

facing in collecting 

unpaid oil-and-gas 

taxes and plans to 

push the Minister to 

give counties more 

powers if education on 

their existing powers 

is deemed insufficient. 

To combat rural crime, 

Smook is pledging to support 

pressuring the federal 

government to fill federal 

justice vacancies (2017 

vacancies took until 2020 to 

be filled), reform early 

release from court-imposed 

sentences to discretionary 

parole for repeat offenders, 

and implement stronger 

penalties for property 

crimes. 

On the health file, Smook 

wants the province to sit 

down with stakeholders to 

create a plan to combat 

ambulance and paramedic 

shortages. He’s also pledged 

to advance an audit that 

could see more local services 

provided instead of 

transporting residents to 

other care centres and 

explore a plan to help 

municipalities innovate in 

assisting with medical 

transport. 

With increased costs to 

heat large facilities 

and power 

curling rinks, 

as well as continued 

decreased revenue 

from 

rentals for 

many agricultural 

societies, 

Smook wants to 

Smook 

see bridge 

funding provided 

into the 

next year to ensure their 

full recovery. 

This builds on his earlier 

commitments to seek support 

for small businesses 

through suspension of the 

small business tax, support 

for families by seeking a ‘reindexing’ 

of the 

non-rebatable tax amount, 

and an exploration of 

funding independent practices 

for Nurse Practitioners 

to help supplement the care 

residents can access.

The Trudeau government is 

pushing law-abiding firearm 

owners into a corner while 

allowing violent recidivists to

It begs the question why? 

Dear Editor, 

It begs the question why?, 

regarding why no Alberta leadership 

candidate wants the 

RCMP instead of a provincial 

police force. 

In my opinion, the answer is 

obvious to anyone who looks 

beyond the RCMP union propaganda, 

has followed the Nova 

Scotia mass murder investigation, 

the SNC Lavalin affair, 

and the Aga Khan, Trudeau 

cosy-up. 

The RCMP brass and bureaucracy 

follow Prime Minister 

Trudeau’s wishes. 

In responding why they didn’t 

charge Prime Minister Trudeau 

for his illegal activity in the Aga 

Khan vacation; the response 

was “that it would have undermined 

confidence in the 

government.” 

Commissioner Lucki has 

admitted that she interfered in

Targeting 

East 

Central 

Alberta 

Canada had a government that 

respects those who follow the 

rules, puts real criminals 

behind bars, targets repeat 

offenders, gangs, organized 

crime and those involved in the 

smuggling of illegal guns. 

I will continue to fight against 

the Trudeau government’s vilification 

and attacks on 

law-abiding firearms owners 

and their hug-a-thug way of governance 

that prioritizes 

the Nova Scotia mass murder 

investigation at the request of 

the Prime Minister’s office 

(PMO) because she had promised 

the Prime Minister to help 

him with his gun bans. 

I have nothing but respect for 

the rank and file RCMP but 

after years of following story 

after story and dealing with the 

RCMP Firearms Centre, 

nothing but disdain for the 

hierarchy. 

The union has convinced the 

municipalities that the cost of 

policing will go up with a provincial 

police force because of 

the federal government not covering 

30 per cent as they do with 

the RCMP. Even so, I believe 

that Albertans would be better 

off with a police force loyal to 

Albertans rather than one subservient 

to Trudeau.

OBITUARY 

Motherhood was her great labour of love 

Celia Ruth Elizabeth Richardson 

was born June 3, 1942, in Lisnaskea, N. 

Ireland and passed away July 7, 2022 . 

Her father: Ernest Walter Patterson 

was born Enniskillen, Northern 

Ireland and her mother: Martha Elliott 

Patterson (neé Graham) was born 

Dysart, Scotland. 

Her sisters: Pamela Redmond, Judith 

(Ron) Krebs. 

Husband: Wayne Irwin Richardson. 

Daughters: Karen (Alain) Desgagné, 

Astri (Zvjezdan) Patz, Inga 

Richardson, and Susan (Kevin) 

Packer. 

Grandsons: Domenic and Gabriel 

Desgagné, Alexander and Jason Patz , 

Karsten, Koen and Leo Packer. 

Granddaughters: Ida, Thalia and 

Katarina Packer. 

Susan was predeceased by her parents 

and brother-in-law Howard 

Redmond. 

Celia was born into a farming family 

in Northern Ireland. Her early life was 

marred by the death of her father from 

cancer two months after her twin sisters’ 

birth in 1946. 

Her mother moved 

her girls to 

Edinburgh, Scotland 

where she had more 

support from her 

sister and her 

friends. 

There, Celia 

became very close to 

her Aunt Betty and 

Uncle George. Their 

boys were older and 

her uncle became a 

surrogate father to 

“ 

Celia was a 

playful and energetic 

grandmother who 

adored her 

grandchildren, doted 

on them, and was 

in turn adored 

by them. 

her. He enjoyed singing baritone arias 

and took Celia to concerts, instilling in 

her a love of classical music. He also 

took her on long hikes in the Pentland 

Hills, exposing her to the joys of the 

countryside. 

Her aunt was a bookstore manager, 

so ensured that Celia was well-read. 

Celia’s love of animals probably 

began on regular outings to the 

Edinburgh Zoo. She was delighted by 

the daily penguin parade and proximity 

to the zoo also allowed her to 

indulge in many elephant rides. 

At home, she cared for and trained 

her family’s pet Boxer dog (named 

Bracken after a fern native to Scotland 

– this was the first of two dogs to carry 

that name). 

Her first job was in a pet store 

feeding various animals and birds. 

They occasionally escaped from their 

cages on Celia’s watch. 

As a girl, summer holidays meant 

returning to an uncle’s farm in 

Northern Ireland. She had fond memories 

of him squirting milk into her 

mouth directly from the cow, of being 

chased by a gander (not so fond a 

memory) and of exploring the farm 

environment with Mitchell, an older 

cousin. 

The rest of summer was spent at 

home in Scotland, at the seaside or on 

the promenade, enjoying gelato, licorice 

and curry. And rain. 

Celia’s first job as a young adult was 

as a clerkess for the Scottish government, 

which she kept until she 

emigrated to Canada at age 21. 

Her mother had been encouraged to 

emigrate to Edmonton by friends who 

had done so a few years before. Celia 

was not keen but acquiesced when her 

mother and sisters said they would not 

go if she was not with them. 

As a child, family and friends called 

her by her second name, Ruth, and like 

Ruth from the Bible, she moved when 

those she loved moved. 

Celia soon found herself happy in 

her new country. She obtained employment 

with the Alberta Department of 

Health and Welfare. 

She discovered that the sun was 

more dependable in Alberta than in 

Scotland, and much more enjoyable 

than the rain. She enjoyed countless 

hours soaking it up, often to the detriment 

of her comfort for a few days. 

Celia also found the neighbours 

quite friendly – one in particular. She 

married Wayne on Oct. 1, 1966. Three 

months later, Wayne was transferred 

to a CIL office in New Toronto and the 

couple relocated to Bramalea, Ont. 

There Celia took an accounts payable 

position with Carter Carburetor 

which she held until the arrival of their 

first daughter in 1970. 

All her time in Bramalea was then 

devoted to raising her family. Celia was 

kind-hearted and caring and had considered 

taking nursing training. So, 

although she was initially uncertain 

whether motherhood was right for her, 

she took to it immediately. Three more 

daughters arrived. 

She was a generous and loving 

mother who always made delicious 

meals for her little girls, clothed them 

with many dresses she 

made, and took them 

to and from activities. 

She didn’t omit 

essential training in 

the finer things in life 

– regular mother and 

daughter walks were 

taken to the local Sara 

Lee cheesecake 

factory. 

She grew abundant 

tomatoes, peppers and 

some Concord grapes, 

enjoyed knitting and 

embroidering scenes of flowers and 

birds, cared for the family dog and 

took drawing classes at a local college. 

Somehow, she also managed to keep 

a spotless home, and look flawlessly 

elegant while doing it. 

In 1980, Wayne and Celia moved 

back to the family farm in Brownfield. 

She had lived most of her life in large 

cities and the transition to country life 

was not easy for her– acres of garden, 

gravel roads and tiny motorhome 

kitchens on family vacations. 

Here, not as much sewing – dresses 

were not everyday school clothes – but 

other things emerged to fill her time. 

Hungry teenagers meant lots of time in 

the kitchen and perfecting the charcoal 

barbecue. 

She had a knack for finding the best 

recipes but many meals were delivered 

with an apology – her standard was 

perfection. 

She cultivated many houseplants, 

but (cacti aside), they tended not to 

thrive, to her chagrin. 

A driver’s license became a necessity 

but learning to drive as an adult was 

approached with some trepidation. 

However, the pickup soon became the 

family taxi and she was a busy driver. 

In Alberta, Celia’s love of animals 

translated into more dogs (all rescues), 

a love affair with horses (not reciprocated), 

painstakingly handfeeding 

rejected newborn kittens and endlessly 

removing quills from her last Boxer 

(until she decided he needed a porcupine-free 

city environment). 

One day later in life, Celia opened 

the front door to find a new black ‘cat’. 

It had white stripes. She calmly 

reached down and stroked its lovely 

soft tail a few times without incident. 

Celia was a very private person but 

Wayne and her daughters remember 

her creativity and flair for the dramatic. 

Celia had natural artistic 

ability. She could also quote 

Shakespeare and Kipling, and her 

spontaneous composition of rap lyrics 

amused the few who were lucky 

enough to hear them. 

She loved to laugh -- Herman comics 

“ 

and Ken Davis comedy sketches left 

her almost breathless. 

Celia loved music her entire life (for 

years she had the C&W radio station 

on much of the day) and delighted 

attending musical and theatrical performances 

in Alliance, Coronation, 

Castor and Rosebud with family. Her 

musical tastes covered the gamut of 

genres, although she preferred 

rhythmic toe-tapping pieces. 

Her very keen ears also gave 

her the ability to automatically, 

and mostly 

unconsciously, adopt the 

accent of the person she was 

speaking to, and sound 

Canadian, apart from occasional 

use of a British phrase. 

This was on display in Celia’s 

sole theatrical endeavour 

(playing the role of a German 

spy in a Brownfield performance). 

Celia put her own spin on what 

it looked like to be a farmer’s wife. 

When the nest was empty, Celia had 

time for more hikes in the countryside. 

She caught Wayne’s rock collecting 

habit (and gave him a fossil collecting 

one), expanded her use of nature’s artistry 

to decorate the house, and happily 

accompanied Wayne to local fairs and 

craft markets. She also attended and 

enjoyed many AAMDC conventions 

and Agricultural Service Board tours 

with Wayne. 

She loved to watch movies with him, 

read for hours with a dictionary by her 

side and enjoyed many games of 

Scrabble. And she eagerly anticipated 

trips to the cities to visit her sisters and 

her daughters’ families. 

When Celia enjoyed something, she 

allowed herself to enjoy it fully. This 

meant occasional tummy aches from 

too many Spanish peanuts 

Richardson 

(“Scrumpdiddlyumptious!”) or too 

much homemade ice cream (often the 

couple made and polished off a litre or 

two late at night after the girls were in 

bed – at least until they grew wise to 

the routine). 

There was often a Majesty magazine 

on the kitchen table beside the empty 

peanuts bag when the girls returned 

home from school; she 

always made a point of 

keeping up with news about 

Britain’s royal family. 

As grandchildren began 

to arrive, it meant occasional 

(happy) exhaustion 

from agreeing one too many 

times to a child’s request for 

“One more game, PLEASE 

Nana!” Celia was a playful 

and energetic grandmother 

who adored her grandchildren, 

doted on them, and 

was in turn adored by them. 

Celia was sensitive and compassionate, 

noticing and caring for anyone 

who seemed to be overlooked, particularly 

the elderly. 

She hand-wrote newsy letters and 

cards to friends and family, in particular 

her beloved sisters (Pamela and 

Judith), cousins (Mitchell and his wife 

Jessie, Joan and her husband Wesley, 

Fletcher and his wife Evelyn, and 

Allan) and childhood friends (Marjorie 

and Eleanor). 

But motherhood was her great 

labour of love; she loved her daughters 

sacrificially, was their biggest cheerleader 

and gave them the great 

blessing of a peaceful and happy 

childhood. 

We miss you so much Celia, Mum, 

Nana. You were the star of our show. 

Rest in peace with your Saviour.

STETTLER COUNTY 

Council votes 

down electric car 

AGRICULTURE 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism Initiative 


The County of Stettler won’t be 

joining the ranks of electric vehicle 

owners quite yet, as council voted 

down a proposal to purchase such a 

vehicle for delivery jobs. 

The 3 to 4 vote was held at the July 13 

regular meeting of council. 

County Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Yvette Cassidy presented a 

report to councillors about an opportunity 

for Stettler County to purchase a 

plug-in hybrid electric vehicle for the 

Public Works department’s use. 

Cassidy stated the county has been 

looking into the idea of an electric 

vehicle for a few years and it’s now 

made easier by a provincial government 

grant program. 

She said staff have been working on 

purchasing an SUV type vehicle for 

the parts department to run parts to 

staff in the field. 

However, one hurdle to confirming 

the grant money was to get a vehicle 

confirmed for delivery within 12 

months. It appears the Public Works 

department was able to leap this 

hurdle. 

In a report to council by Director of 

operations Rick Green councillors 

heard a Stettler dealership was able to 

find a vehicle. 

“Public Works received a sole source 

quote... as other local brands do not 

have current availability of similarsized 

plug-in hybrid electric vehicles,” 

stated Green’s memo. 

“The county has been arranging 

participation in available grants 

through the Municipal Climate 

Change Action Centre Electric 

Vehicles for Municipalities Grant 

(EVM). 

The grant 

should provide a 

minimum of 

$7,000 against the 

purchase price. 

“This purchase 

was not budgeted 

in 2022 but we are 

looking at fairly 

long delivery 

dates and are 

looking for direction 

to order now 

and attribute 

costs to the 2023 

budget. 

Acceptance of 

grant funding will 

be confirmed 

prior to any order 

confirmations.” 

The CAO stated 

that even if the 

grant fell through, 

the Public Works 

department had 

room in its 2023 

budget to purchase 

the hybrid 

vehicle. 

Green added that 

if something bigger 

needed to be delivered, 

such as barrels 

for example, a larger 

vehicle was also 

within the county 

fleet for those jobs. 

He explained that 

the vehicle would be 

plugged in right in 

the Public Works 

shop and kept ready 

to go all the time

and that the vehicle shouldn’t be any 

problem. 

However, it needed to be pre-ordered 

now to include in the 2023 budget. 

Coun. Les Stulberg stated he was 

opposed to an electric vehicle and 

would vote against its purchase 

because two thirds of the county’s 

property taxes are paid by the oil and 

gas industry while power plants pay 

zero taxes to the county. He likened the 

vehicle’s purchase to Stettler County 

buying beef from foreign countries for 

municipal events. 

Coun. Justin Stevens asked about 

the price of a recent pick-up truck purchase 

Stettler County made. Green 

answered the pick-up was a half-ton 

truck with a V6 engine and was over 

$50,000. 

Coun. Dave Grover asked if the 

Public Works building would have to 

be expanded to accommodate the electric 

vehicle. Cassidy answered no, no 

expansion was necessary. 

Coun. Ernie Gendre stated he would 

support the vehicle’s purchase as times 

change and he didn’t mind 

experimenting. 

During discussion quite a few jokes 

were made about the ribbing county 

staff may receive if they drove around 

in an electric vehicle. 

A motion to approve the purchase a 

2022 plug-in electric hybrid at a purchase 

price of $44,233 plus $2,211.65 

taxes and $6.26 Amvic fee for a total 

$46,4450.91 was defeated by 3 to 4 vote 

with Coun. James Nibourg, Stevens 

and Gendre in favour, Reeve Larry 

Clark and Coun. Stulberg, Grover and 

Mackay opposed. 

After the vote it was stated the staff 

would investigate purchasing a van as 

a delivery vehicle which would be 

included in the 2023 budget. 

Charlotte (nee Castillo) and Trevor Usselman were married 

on July 9, 2022 in Vacaville, Calif. U.S. The happy couple are 

residing in Lethbridge, Alta.
