BASHAW COUNCIL 

Council wants draft 2024 operating budget smaller 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism Initiative reporter 

ECA Review 

Bashaw town council wants to 

whittle down their draft 2024 operating 

budget after a detailed presentation at 

the March 20 regular council meeting. 

Town Chief Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Theresa Fuller presented the 

draft operating budget to councillors, 

noting in her report that the town’s 

2023 financial statement is still being 

prepared. 

“Once the audit is complete, the 

actuals within the budget will be 

updated and may impact the overall 

budget,” stated Fuller in her memo to 

council. 

As Fuller and other staff reviewed 

all sections of the draft budget, she 

noted a few key areas. 

She began by saying there appeared 

to be a sight increase in staff functions 

and this was likely due to the policy of 

providing turkeys or hams to staff at 

Christmas, while the price of these 

items has increased noticeably; she 

noted councillors may wish to revisit 

that policy. 

Under general administration, 

Fuller stated the budget remains fairly 

stable, noting that the previous grant 

program quite important to municipalities, 

the Municipal Sustainability 

Initiative (MSI), has been replaced by a 

new program, the Local Government 

Fiscal Framework (LGFF) and 

Bashaw’s grant appears to be the same 

amount at $118,190. 

It was noted that a public auction 

generated additional revenue for this 

department. 

Fuller stated that provincial requisitions 

such as education tax are tricky: 

the rate based on property assessment 

stayed much the same for education 

tax, but property values increased, so 

taxpayers will see an increase 

described as nine per cent. 

Coun. Cindy Orom asked if the Town 

of Bashaw’s switch to monthly water 

billing affected this department. Fuller 

responded no, that would be part of the 

water budget. 

The fire department was briefly discussed; 

the draft budget proposed 

stable funding and Fuller noted the 

department expects more calls in 2024. 

She also noted the Bashaw Fire 

Department has been successful in 

finding grant money. 

Coun. Kyle McIntosh asked if the 

proposed wildland fire truck is listed 

in this budget; the CAO responded that 

the truck will be included in the capital 

rather than the operating budget. 

The community services department, 

stated Fuller, can be tricky to 

budget as it’s difficult to predict, for 

example, how many building permits 

will be sought. 

She noted FCSS costs are a bit 

higher. 

Discussing the Public Works department 

Fuller stated dust control and 

insurance costs have climbed. A bit 

more money has been earmarked for 

the airport as Fuller stated it’s unclear 

if a door being left open and a tap left 

running was an accident or intentional 

vandalism. 

It was noted tipping fees at the landfill 

have gone down substantially, and 

the CAO noted that’s because Bashaw 

residents are strong recyclers. 

Councillors also discussed maintenance 

and other costs associated with 

the community hall, with the CAO 

noting this building costs substantial 

money. “It’s an expensive building,” 

said Fuller. 

In the recreation department staff 

mentioned unused ice time at the 

arena; it was noted users groups may 

want that ice time but aren’t aware of 

it. 

Councillors discussed the draft operating 

budget; Mayor Rob McDonald 

noted that if about $66,500 were cut 

from this draft, town council would 

only have to consider a five per cent 

property tax increase or less if more 

savings can be found. 

Coun. Bryan Gust stated he felt that 

there are places to find savings in the 

draft budget, plus suggested using 

reserves to get any possible tax 

Small town business can easily be target 

of fraud through calls, email, social media 

Stu Salkeld 



Rural Alberta communities aren’t 

immune from fraud, and small business 

is often the target of sophisticated 

fraudsters, whether they be provincial, 

national or international in nature. 

As March is Fraud Awareness 

Month, business owners can benefit 

from some advice that may very well 

save them some money. 

Local businessman Gord Lawlor, 

who has owned and operated jewelry 

stores in multiple communities, shared 

some of his experiences with fraud in 

an effort to help other business owners 

avoid being ripped off by con-men. 

In a phone interview March 19 

Lawlor stated local business owners 

may be wary of someone contacting 

them by phone, email, text or social 

media with interest in something 

expensive or extravagant. 

He cited as an example someone contacting 

him by phone from another 

province asking about a rather expensive 

piece of jewelry, even something 

up to $15,000. As the call proceeded the 

caller had excuses for everything, 

including a credit card that was 

declined; the scammer claimed they 

just booked an expensive vacation on 

that card and must have maxed it out. 

Lawlor noted eventually staff 

decided not to proceed with a proposal 

that big over the phone; this is an effective 

strategy, as requesting the buyer 

appear in person may in effect call 

their bluff. 

If, as suspected, the caller is actually 

a scammer in another province or 

country, obviously they will not appear 

in person at your Stettler-area 

business. 

Lawlor stated that an acquaintance 

of his called describing a phone call 

like this. The friend stated they were 

quite excited about the prospective 

large purchase which can mean a lot to 

a small business’ bottom line, but the 

friend had an uneasy feeling that 

“something was wrong.” 

As it turned out, Gord spoke to his 

staff and they suspected the original 

phone call was a scammer attempting 

to rip them off. 

Lawlor noted that these fraud lures 

dangled by scammers may be very 

tempting to a small business owner 

who is struggling to make ends meet. 

Lawlor also related an incident he’d 

heard about locally where a woman 

was targeted in a romance scam; 

apparently, this lady had a “fiancé” 

overseas who was directing her to 

essentially send her life savings to him 

through gift cards. Red flags were 

being thrown up when this lady was 

regularly purchasing $1,000 to $1,500 

worth of gift cards. 

Technically, it’s not illegal for 

someone to buy that many gift cards 

over that short period a time but 

friends and family may note that it’s 

out of character for a person to do so, a 

signal that something may be wrong. 

These are some of the pitfalls that 

rural Alberta business owners face 

through modern fraud. The RCMP provided 

a wealth of information and good 

advice for Fraud Awareness Month. 

Federal campaign 

RCMP Federal Policing Strategist 

Christina Zoernig shared a treasure 

trove of information about the bewildering 

array of fraud facing not just 

business owners but Canadians in 

general. 

“This March, the Alberta RCMP will 

be sharing information and resources 

in support of the Alberta Community 

Crime Prevention Association’s 

(ACCPA) Fraud Prevention Month 

campaign,” stated a press release to 

the ECA Review newspaper March 6. 

“The campaign, which will include a 

weekly theme, seeks to educate 

Albertans on the many ways that 

fraudulent activity impacts their 

communities.” 

She noted some scams getting a light 

shone on them included romance 

scams (partner is interested in you and 

asks you to send them money), 

phishing emails (email is fake and 

clicking it exposes your computer to 

theft), job scams (job doesn’t exist), buy 

and sell fraud (item doesn’t exist), lottery 

and/or prize scams (you are asked 

to pay a fee to claim your prize), tech 

repair scams (problem they describe 

doesn’t exist); and impersonation 

scams (sometimes called the grandparents 

scam). 

“How can you protect yourself from 

these types of scams?” mused Zoernig. 

“Here are some helpful resources: 

Use strong and unique passwords for 

your online accounts; Learn the seven 

major red flags of phishing emails; and 

learn how to better protect your money 

from cyber criminals.” 

The seven red flags include threats, 

request for private information, sounds 

too good to be true, email shows up out 

of the blue, information mismatch such 

as obvious spelling errors, suspicious 

attachments and amateurish design. 

Another area of focus in the campaign 

is business fraud such as 

investment fraud via social media; 

Ponzi or pyramid schemes; cryptocurrency 

scams; real estate investment 

scams; and offshore investment 

schemes. 

Cpl. Sean Milne of the Alberta 

RCMP Provincial Financial Crime 

Team added, “As technology continues 

to evolve, scammers are finding new 

and innovative ways to convince a 

target that they are legitimate. 

Canadians can better protect themselves 

from these online tactics by 

learning how to secure your accounts, 

devices and digital connections.” 

Elvis is alive! 


RCMP advised that if you believe 

you may be a victim of fraud, or are 

currently being targeted by fraud, 

please report it to your local law 

enforcement and the Canadian Anti- 

Fraud Centre (CAFC) at 1-888-495-8501. 

Instances of compromised personal 

and/or financial information should be 

reported to your bank and credit card 

company.

increase down to a reasonable level. 

Coun. McIntosh stated he felt councillors 

should have a talk about the 

dog/cat bylaw and mentioned a recent 

incident where dogs running at large 

cost the Town of Bashaw a substantial 

amount of money. 

Councillors unanimously passed a 

resolution instructing town staff to cut 

at least $66,500 from the draft operating 

budget and bring the issue back 

to a future meeting.

ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB March 28'24 3 

 

HANNA COUNCIL 

Discount rent for farmers market continued 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism 

Initiative reporter 


Hanna town council continued 

to subsidize rent for the 

local farmers market after a 

presentation from that nonprofit 

organization at the March 

12 regular meeting of council. 

Councillors heard a presentation 

by Peggy Rehill on behalf 

of the Hanna Farmers Market 

requesting a reduced rental rate 

for space in the curling rink. 

The Farmers Market also 

provided a letter from Farmers 

Market Manager Melissa Ray 

providing more information for 

the request, acknowledging the 

Town of Hanna has provided a 

rental subsidy in the past for the 

farmers market. 

The letter outlined a number 

of challenges facing the market, 

including pandemic recovery. 

Rehill, who also provided 

councillors with a financial 

statement on the non-profit 

farmers market, noted those 

involved wth the farmers 

market wish to serve the 

 

community. 

“We didn’t make a lot of 

money but we’re not in it for 

money,” said Rehill. “We’re in it 

for service.” 

Rehill stated the organization 

regularly hears from people 

who appreciate this service and 

those involved, including vendors, 

organizers and visitors, 

feel the service is worthwhile. 

Rehill noted last year the 

farmers market had 35 different 

vendors from Hanna, with 

another 30 vendors from out of 

the community. 

Rehill noted that non-profit 

societies are offered free tables 

at the farmers market, and it 

was noted five such organizations 

took advantage of that 

opportunity; two of them were 

at the market every week. 

Coun. Sandra Murphy stated 

that after visiting the farmers 

market herself she was disappointed 

by the huge space and 

few tables plus the dark atmosphere 

of the venue. Murphy 

asked if the curling rink is the 

best place to hold the farmers 

market. 

Rehill responded the 

organization has looked around 

at other venues, but considering 

things like vendor and visitor 

access, the curling rink is the 

only facility that meets all 

needs; plus, the curling rink 

isn’t heavily used during the 

summer so it’s available when 

the farmers market wishes. 

It was noted the farmers 

market doesn’t do fundraising 

and the Hanna Ag Society is its 

sponsor, a requirement for 

farmers markets in Alberta. 

Coun. Sandra Beaudoin noted 

that farmers market vendors 

and visitors, especially out-oftowners, 

probably support local 

businesses when they visit 

Hanna. 

Rehill agreed, noting the 

farmers market doesn’t usually 

offer a concession so vendors 

will likely visit Hanna’s eating 

establishments. 

The farmers market representative 

noted the organization 

actually posted a loss in 2023, 

their biggest ever, stating the 

non-profit was very grateful 

that the Hanna Ag Society has 

helped them in the past. 

After the presentation 

Council balks at invoice 

for bridge replacement 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism 

Initiative reporter 


Big Valley village council 

wants to meet with their County 

of Stettler counterparts to discuss 

a $30,000 invoice the 

smaller municipality says it has 

no record it ever committed to 

paying. The resolution to 

request a meeting was passed at 

Big Valley’s March 18 regular 

council meeting. 

This was the first regular 

council meeting following the 

Feb. 20 by-election and featured 

newly elected Mayor Chantel 

Janke and Coun. Tim Fields 

along with current Coun. Dan 

Houle. 

Village Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO) Colleen Mayne 

provided councillors with an 

update on an invoice the village 

received from the County of 

Stettler for $32,206.91 described 

as “BF 07577 Bridge 

Replacement” on the document. 

At a previous council meeting 

it was noted the invoice represented 

what the County of 

Stettler claimed was the village’s 

share of construction on 

the bridge located on Twp. Rd. 

#355 which connects Big 

Valley’s Railway Ave. to Hwy. 

56. The construction work was 

completed in summer of 2023. 

When the invoice was last discussed 

the Village of Big Valley 

was without council quorum 

and still under the guidance of 

the provincial government’s 

Official Administrator (OA) 

Gene Sobolewski; at that time 

the OA decided the issue should 

be tabled for the newly elected 

council to decide.

FROM THE BLEACHERS 

No easy games at 

men’s world curling 

by Bruce Penton 

Based on historic results that show 

Canada has won 36 world titles, 25 

more than the next-best country, 

Canada’s Brad Gushue, who defeated 

Saskatchewan’s Mike McEwen for the 

2024 Brier title, should 

win this year’s men’s 

world curling championship 

in 

Schaffhausen, 

Switzerland. 

Based on recent history, 

however, the 

odds-on favourite to 

win the event that 

starts this weekend 

would be Niklas Edin 

of Sweden, who has 

won four of the past five titles. 

Penton 

But based on current excellence, the 

favourite should be Italy’s Joel 

Retornaz, who skips the No. 1-ranked 

team in the world. And if recent play in 

the Grand Slam of Curling events 

should be considered, watch out for 

Bruce Mouat’s Scottish entry. 

Then there’s the U.S., which won the 

Olympic gold medal in men’s curling in 

2018 and will send veteran John 

Shuster to this year’s worlds. And if 

home-ice advantage is at all a factor, 

then watch out for the Swiss entry 

skipped by Yannick Schwaller. 

In other words, it’s wide open. The 

oddsmakers in Vegas would be perplexed 

about setting gambling lines,

but one thing is for sure: The curling 

talent gathering in Schaffhausen 

should guarantee a great event. 

Gushue will wear Canada’s colours 

for the sixth time, and third straight. 

The game hasn’t been kind to him at 

the worlds, however, with only one 

championship to his credit. But he 

is the most experienced Canadian 

skip and with rink-mates Mark 

Nichols, E.J. Harnden and Geoff 

Walker, a podium finish is almost 

guaranteed. 

Besides his lone world championship, 

Gushue also has three 

runners-up finishes — all to Edin, 

which is the foundation for one of 

the sport’s great all-time rivalries. 

Retornaz won four bonspiels this 

season, three on the Grand Slam circuit 

in Canada and one in Europe, the 

Baden Masters. Winning the world 

title this year would be an astounding 

accomplishment, considering Italy is 

one of five countries to have never won 

at the world level (Germany, Denmark, 

Finland and France are the others). 

As well, the next Winter Olympic 

Games will be held in February, 2026 

in Milan, Italy and what a special treat 

it would be for Retornaz to represent 

his country knowing he has a world 

title on his resume. 

Scotland and Sweden can never be 

counted out at the world championship.

championships and Mouat, the

champ. (Strange how Scotland picks its 

representative: Mouat lost in the semifinals 

of the Scottish championship, 

eventually won by Ross Whyte, but 

Scottish Curling decided that Mouat

world event.) 

And if the Swedish, Italian, Scottish, 

Swiss and American competitors 

weren’t enough to give Gushue sleepless 

nights, rinks representing South 

Korea and Japan have been showing 

great improvement in recent years. 

It’s a wide-open competition, and 

Gushue is 43 years old and nearing the 

end of his dominant days, so Canadian 

curling fans will be rooting for him to 

add one more title to his resume.

Stettler county deputy reeve appointed to ASCHA 

The County of Stettler Deputy 

Reeve, James Nibourg was recently 

appointed as the President of the 

Alberta Seniors and Community 

House Association (ASCHA). Deputy 

Reeve Nibourg brings a wealth of experience 

and dedication to this important 

role. 

Nibourg, has been a council member 

for the County of Stettler for 13 years, 

and has a long and committed history 

with ASCHA, previously serving on 

the ASCHA Board as a director and 

vice president. His passion for serving 

Albertans, especially seniors, is evident 

in his work and advocacy within 

the association. 

“Being chosen the President of 

ASCHA is a true honour, and I am 

grateful for the opportunity to continue 

serving Albertans in this 

capacity. I am excited to work alongside 

the dedicated members of ASCHA 

to advocate for the needs of seniors and 

ensure access to quality housing and 

community supports. Together, we 

will strive to make a positive difference 

in the lives of those we serve,” 

said James Nibourg.

up of member organizations that offer 

community and senior housing 

options to Albertans. The association’s 

core roles are advocacy and member 

services, aimed at ensuring housing 

providers have the education, best 

practices, and resources necessary to 

provide the very best 

housing and supports to the 

individuals they serve. 

Collectively, ASCHA 

members represent more 

than 60,000 units of housing 

in 227 communities across 

the province, and 75 per 

cent of Alberta’s total 

seniors housing sector in 

Alberta. 

The association has a 

unique mandate to champion 

the full continuum of 

community and seniors 

housing options, offered 

through the public, voluntary 

and private housing 

sectors. 

The ASCHA president is 

the only Board position 

elected by the entire membership 

at their annual 

general meeting, and as 

such, holds a higher degree 

of accountability and trust 

given by the full body of the 

organization. 

James Nibourg recently appointed president of the 

Alberta Seniors and Community Housing Association 

meets with the Honourable Nate Horner, Minister of 

Finance and President of Treasury Board, and MLA for

Dear Editor, 

Please review the attached Water 

Act Approval Licence DAUT0013330. 

This is a Government of Alberta 

issued Water Act Licence to a developer 

giving them access and control 

over several thousand acres of water 

and vegetation without landowner consultation 

or approval. 

This licence was issued at the discretion 

of the Government of Alberta and 

Designated Director under the Water 

Act, Angela Fulton. 

Landowners have found additional 

similar licences issued without landowner 

knowledge or approval. 

I asked my MLA. He provided no 

answer. 

I asked the Farmers Advocate 

Office. They provided no explanation. 

I asked Alberta Agriculture. They 

advised. ‘Yes, this developer has been 

granted access to surface water

without notification or landowner

They then asked. How can we help 

you to find more water? 

Are we losing our water rights and 

access to surface water without our

Provincial Government for industrial 

development in a time of water 

shortage and in an agriculture crisis? 

Ask your MLA. A former

Is it time for pitch forks, clubs and

Happy calving. Protect your water.

Solar plant petition 

Town of Hanna news release 

The Town of Hanna received a petition 

with over 300 names on Thurs. 

Feb. 8, 2023. This petition requested 

that Hanna town council remove Solar 

Power Plant as a permitted or discretionary 

use in any and all districts in 

the Land Use Bylaw 1032-2023, 

including the removal of all definitions 

or other bylaws relating to Solar Power 

Plant. 

According to the Municipal 

Government Act (Section 226 (1)) 

Within 45 days after the date on which 

a petition is filed, the Chief 

Administrative Officer must make a 

declaration to the Council or the 

Minister on whether the petition is sufficient 

or insufficient. 

Municipal Government Act (Section 

232 (2)) states that a petition requesting 

a new bylaw under Part 8, 9, 10, 17 or 

17.2 of the Municipal Government Act 

or an amendment or repeal of a bylaw 

or resolution made under Part 8, 9, 10, 

17 or 17.2 of the Municipal Government 

Act has no effect. 

Part 17 of the Municipal Government 

Act is the Planning and Development 

section and is the section of the 

Municipal Government Act that mandates 

that all municipalities must have 

a Land Use Bylaw. Therefore, the petition 

is not valid because it seeks to 

amend the Town of Hanna Land Use 

Bylaw # 1032-2023. 

At the March 12, 2024 council 

meeting a resolution was passed that 

council accepts the Solar Power Plant 

Petition Report for information. This 

report states that based on legal 

advice, the Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO) confirms to council that 

the petition received Feb. 8, 2024 is outside 

the legal scope of petitions 

contemplated in the Municipal 

Government Act RSA 2000 c. M-26; specifically, 

pursuant to section 232(2), a 

petition purporting to require an 

amendment to a land use bylaw (which 

is a bylaw addressed under Part 17) 

“has no effect”. 

Therefore, it is not appropriate or 

necessary for the CAO to determine 

sufficiency of the petition (i.e. whether 

the petition has met the logistical 

requirements of petitions as prescribed 

JOYCE WEBSTER 

Publisher/Editor 

office@ECAreview.com 

in the Municipal Government Act). 

The CAO will advise the named representative 

for the petitioners of the 

foregoing. 

In addition, council at the March 12, 

2024 council meeting passed a resolution 

that administration prepare a 

press release explaining the rationale 

behind the decision and that despite 

this decision council remains opposed 

to the proposed Solar Farm 

Development adjacent to the Hanna 

Airport. 

Council sent a letter of non-support 

of the project to the Developer PACE 

Canada LP on Dec. 13, 2023. 

Furthermore, council has retained 

legal counsel to assist the Town of 

Hanna with managing the Alberta 

Utilities Commission Intervention 

Process and provide guidance and 

direction to protect the Town of Hanna 

and the Hanna Airport now and into 

the future. 

Council is also planning to retain 

other technical advisers for review and 

guidance of studies completed by the 

developer on this project such as glint 

and glare, runway setbacks, etc. if 

necessary. 

Council has no authority 

It is important to note that under 

Alberta regulations, renewable energy 

projects approval lies with the Alberta 

Utilities Commission. 

Town Council is working diligently 

to safeguard the community and the 

airport however council does not have 

the authority to approve or reject this 

project as per section 619 of the 

Municipal Government Act. 

File a complaint 

Any group or individual can file a 

complaint with the Alberta Utilities 

Commission. 

Finding the complaint process 

online is very easy. Go to auc.ab.ca on 

the internet and at the very top of the

Liberals deny Canadians a 

choice on the carbon tax 

by Damien C. Kurek, MP 

Battle River - Crowfoot 

On April 1, the Liberal-NDP 

costly coalition will raise the 

carbon tax by a whopping 23 per 

cent, the next step in their plan 

to increase it to 170 dollars a ton. 

Conservatives gave the MPs 

from the Liberal backbench, the 

NDP, and Bloc Quebecois a 

chance to stand up for 

Canadians and their constituents 

and stop the forthcoming 

hike… but they chose instead to 

continue to prop up the 

Government. 

This tax hike is coming at the 

worst possible time. Canadians 

are struggling after eight years 

of Prime Minister Trudeau’s 

inflationary spending and 

taxes. 

MPs had a chance to listen to 

their constituents and bring 

some desperately needed relief 

this week on two occasions. 

They could have voted for a 

Common-Sense Conservative 

motion Wed. March 13 to spike 

the hike, but they didn’t, which 

is why Pierre Poilievre introduced 

a motion of

non-confidence. 

This past Thurs. March 21 

Conservatives debated, and 

Parliament voted on a confidence 

motion to give Canadians 

a carbon tax election. The NDP 

and Bloc could have voted to 

give Canadians the power but 

they did not. 

The Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition 

instead abandoned their 

constituents and decided to prop 

up the historically unpopular 

Liberal Prime Minister in the 

twilight of his disastrous 

Government. 

In fact, since NDP Leader 

Jagmeet Singh, was elected the 

NDP have voted with Trudeau 

on 93 per cent of confidence 

votes, and all confidence votes 

since the 2021 election. 

Seventy per cent of 

Canadians oppose Justin 

Trudeau’s April 1 tax hike, and 

70 per cent of provincial premiers 

– including the Liberal 

Premier of Newfoundland and 

Labrador and provincial 

Liberal parties in Ontario, Nova

to stop this painful tax increase 

before it’s too late. 

But the truth is that the costly 

coalition is no longer listening 

to Canadians. 

While the Liberals crow 

about how great everything is 

going for them, all while 

Canadians are hurting. 

The left-leaning coalition 

whose policies are dominating 

the public agenda of the nation 

are causing economic misery 

for so many. 

A simple example of this is 

skyrocketing food bank usage, 

of which these essential community 

organizations that have 

always been there for those who 

need it are expecting to see a 

million more people, only more 

devastation on top of last year’s 

record usage. 

Justin Trudeau has created 

the worst economic conditions 

since the great depression, and 

Canadians have lost faith in his 

Government. Only Common- 

Sense Conservatives will axe 

the tax, bring home lower prices 

for everyone, and lead a government 

that you can trust.

STETTLER COUNTY COUNCIL 

Red bulls White bulls Roan bulls 

Shorthorn Bulls for Sale by Private Treaty 

Over $250k approved for trucks 

Stu Salkeld 



The County of Stettler council 

approved about a quarter million dollars 

for a number of new trucks, 

including a new fire department 

vehicle. The decisions were made after 

councillors examined tender results at 

the March 13 regular meeting of 

council. 

The lengthiest discussion councillors 

had when examining vehicle 

tenders was for sport utility vehicle 

(SUV) for the Stettler Regional Fire 

Department’s new regional manager 

Ivan Dijkstra, who presented the 

tender results to councillors himself. 

The truck in question is to be purchased 

by the County of Stettler and 

Town of Stettler in a 50/50 split. While 

the tender appeared to be strongly 

received with six offers, as Dijkstra 

explained a number of issues popped 

up. 

First, Dijkstra pointed out St. Albert 

Chrysler Dodge’s offer of a 2024 Dodge 

Durango for $68,199 didn’t meet the 

tender specifications of a full-size SUV, 

so the offer was discarded. 

Another offer, this one from Gary 

Moe Chevrolet Stettler for a 2023 

Yukon priced at $95,933, was also discarded 

as Dijkstra explained at the 

meeting the actual bid document 

wasn’t delivered according to the 

specifications. 

Another offer, this one from Stettler 

Dodge, wasn’t considered as their 2024 

Jeep Wagoneer for $87,429 didn’t meet 

the vehicle specifications and had a 

delivery time of up to 12 weeks. 

A 2023 Tahoe from Shaganappi 

Motors of Calgary priced at $77,609.25, 

was already sold by the time the tenders 

were opened. 

That left two vehicles: a 2024 

Expedition from Aspen Ford of 

Stettler for $67,854 with a delivery time 

of about six months, and a 2023 Tahoe 

from Competition Chevrolet in Stony 

Plain for $87,800 with a delivery time 

of only one week. 

During his presentation 

the 

regional fire manager 

stated the six 

month wait was 

excessive, plus the 

vehicle didn’t meet 

all specifications; 

this SUV had cloth 

seats which can be 

contaminated at 

an emergency call. 

Thus, Dijkstra’s 

recommendation 

was the 2023 

Tahoe from 

Competition 

Chevrolet. 

Coun. Justin 

Stevens interjected 

by saying if 

the County of 

Stettler approved 

the local offer 

from Aspen Ford 

he knew the Town 

of Stettler was 

willing to find a 

truck for Dijkstra 

to use during the 

six month wait 

time; Stevens also 

pointed out the 

cloth seats could 

be upgraded 

before delivery. 

Coun. Les 

Stulberg stated the 

town and county 

have been working 

hard on getting

underway, but in his opinion 

waiting six months for the 

fire vehicle wasn’t 

reasonable. 

Reeve Larry Clarke 

agreed, adding that he feared 

that after the six months was 

over the county would then 

be told the SUV wasn’t available. 

“Timing to me is 

critical,” said Clarke. 


approved a motion that a recommendation 

be made to the 

Town of Stettler that both 

partners purchase the 2023 

Tahoe from Competition 

Chevrolet. 

Three quarter ton trucks 

Councillors approved the 

purchase of two 3/4 ton 4X4 

trucks after examining the 

results of a tender presented 

by Director of Operations 

Joe McCulloch. 

McCulloch stated he was 

impressed by the wide array 

of offers the County of 

Stettler received for these 

trucks, but noted the original 

plan of purchasing three 

vehicles was altered to two 

vehicles instead. 

Offers were received from 

Aspen Ford of Stettler 

($68,940.90 per unit), Metro 

Ford Sales of TsuuTina 

($69,454.25), Cam Clarke 

Ford of Red Deer ($70,751 per 

unit), Stettler Dodge 

($72,210.60 per unit), 

Westgate Chev of Edmonton 

($76,949 per unit) and Gary 

Moe Chev of Stettler ($80,129 

per unit). 

McCulloch’s recommendation 

was to accept the offer 

from Aspen Ford of Stettler. 

Coun. Paul McKay asked 

how long delivery would 

take with McCulloch 

responding delivery was 

estimated towards the end of

2024, but because these 

trucks are replacements the 

Public Works department 

can wait for them. In fact, 

McCulloch suspected the relatively 

low price of the 

trucks may have been linked 

to the county’s willingness 

to wait for them. 

He also noted while price 

point is the prime factor in 

considering an offer, he 

stated other factors such as 

maintenance and wheel size 

are also considered.

Councillors accepted an 

offer from Rocky Mountain 

Dodge of Rocky Mountain 

House for a 1/2 ton 4X4 

priced at $50,445.25 after 

McCulloch presented the 

results of a tender that he 

noted received strong 

response: seven offers. 

McCulloch, who noted this 

half ton was a replacement 

vehicle for utility use, stated 

it’s better to have a smaller, 

lighter 1/2 ton for this work 

than a 3/4 ton. He added that 

he hasn’t seen prices for a 1/2 

ton 4X4 this low in a long 

time. 

Other offers came from 

Cam Clarke Ford of Red

VIEWPOINT 

Is government ready to raid your pension? 

Pension fund managers are worried that the Trudeau government 

is targeting your pension because “that’s where the money is” 

by Roslyn Kunin 

In the United States, the government 

aspires to uphold life, liberty, and the 

pursuit of happiness. In Canada, our 

goals are more modest, aiming for 

peace, order, and good government. 

While there’s always room for 

improvement, we have largely 

achieved these objectives. 

A big factor in this achievement, and 

a blessing for all Canadians, is that 

Canada operates under the rule of law. 

Our laws are formulated by freely 

elected legislatures, administered 

impartially, and upheld justly by our 

justice system. Unfortunately, this is 

not the standard in every part of the 

world. 

Think of all the autocratic, despotic 

or just plain chaotic countries in the 

world. Those who work with immigrants 

to Canada will tell you that 

many immigrants are amazed when 

told that judges in Canada do not routinely 

take bribes. 

We frequently invoke the old expression 

‘there ought to be a law’ when 

faced with situations that require resolution. 

However, there are many 

scenarios where enacting a law would 

be ineffective. Legal action would be 

ineffective against factors beyond our 

control, such as viruses and weather 

patterns. 

Laws only function when society collectively 

demonstrates willingness and 

capability to adhere to them. Centuries 

ago, the Talmud wisely cautioned 

against governments passing laws that 

people would not obey, as this undermines 

the integrity of the entire legal 

system. 

Nevertheless, we do not have to look 

beyond modern democracies to find 

examples of just such laws. 

Prohibition against alcohol in the 

United States at the beginning of the 

20th century is one. Too many people 

were just not prepared to entirely 

forego all beer, wine or liquor. When 

not available for legal purchase, they 

made their own, sometimes miscalculating 

the procedures and poisoning 

themselves or others. 

Canadian distillers got rich smuggling 

alcohol into the U.S. to operators 

of illegal bars called speakeasies that 

hid from the police and made a 

mockery of the legal system. 

Long-standing laws and severe penalties 

have not eliminated the use of 

non-medical drugs. They now make 

criminal gangs rich and powerful. The 

lack of quality control and the 

resulting death toll is sufficient to have 

lowered life expectancy in the U.S. In 

Canada, we at least have had the good 

sense to stop making criminals of all 

recreational cannabis users. 

The unintended and often unforeseen 

consequences of such legislation 

also prevent us from simply passing 

laws to banish all our ills. Take sanctions, 

for instance. Sanctions are 

prime examples of laws that never 

yield the intended effectiveness 

because the individuals and nations 

they target have strong incentives to 

circumvent them. 

The American ban on selling cutting-edge 

technology to China may 

slow their progress in the short run. 

However, the Chinese are already figuring 

out ways to use older technology 

to greater advantage and are pouring 

resources into developing state-of-theart 

components and facilities to put 

China at the forefront of the world 

technology sector – something they 

might not have done had the sanctions 

not been implemented. 

In Canada, our major pension funds 

are concerned that a law might be 

passed that could hurt present and 

future pension recipients. Pension 

fund managers aim to generate a 

return that is sufficiently stable and 

ample to meet pensioners’ 

expectations.

OBITUARIES 

Many stories of this amazing woman 

Sharon Ruth Watson, originally of 

Calgary, most recently of Stettler, Alta. 

beloved wife of Dave Watson, loving 

mother of David, Jason and Kari, 

passed away quietly in her home at the 

age of 81 years. 

Born in Calgary Dec. 19, 1942 to 

Doreen and Richard Smith, Sharon 

spent summers in Big Valley with her 

Webster grandparents and cousins, all 

of whom she loved dearly. 

This spirited young girl grew into a 

strong, beautiful, incredible caring 

woman with a fantastic sense of 

humour who was loved by all. Sharon 

loved making people laugh, and never 

missed an opportunity to do so. 

Sharon met Dave Watson in high 

Young man of passion and conviction 

Quinten Golby was born on Aug. 12, 

1999 at St. Mary’s Hospital, Camrose, 

Alta. He attended Kindergarten to 

Grade 9 at Brownfield 

Community School, 

Grade 10 - 12 at 

Coronation High School 

and went on to 

Lethbridge College. 

Quinten had many 

hobbies: reptiles, goat 

4-H, and Comicon, baseball 

and basketball. 

Quinten was a 

remarkable young soul 

who left a lasting mark 

on all who knew him. 

Golby 

Quinten was a young man of passion 

and conviction, with a heart as vast as 

the prairie sky and a spirit as lively as 

the creatures he so adored, lizards. 

His fascination with these scaled 

wonders was not merely a passing 

fancy but a testament to his profound 

curiosity and love for the natural 

world. 

Quinten was not one to shy away 

from expressing his opinions. Whether 

engaged in a lively debate or fervently 

defending his beliefs, he approached 

every interaction with unwavering 

determination and boundless enthusiasm. 

His tenacity was matched only 

by his infectious zeal, igniting spirited 

discussions that often left us both 

enlightened and entertained. 

Beyond his love for lizards and spirited 

debates, Quinten possessed a 

kindness that touched the lives of 

those around him. He had a knack for 

finding beauty in the simplest of 

things and a generosity of spirit that 

knew no bounds. 

His laughter echoed like a melody 

through the halls of our hearts, 

leaving behind cherished memories 

that we will hold dear forever. 

Though Quinten’s time with us was 

tragically brief, the impact he made 

will endure for a lifetime. 

As we bid farewell Quinten, let us 

take solace in the knowledge that his 

spirit lives on in the hearts of all who 

knew him. 

May his love for lizards, his unwavering 

conviction, and his boundless 

kindness serve as guiding lights in our 

lives, reminding us to embrace our 

passions, stand firm in our beliefs, and 

always approach each day with the 

same fervent joy that Quinten so 

effortlessly embodied. 

Rest in peace, dear Quinten. You 

will be dearly missed but never 

forgotten. 

Quinten is survived by his parents 

Tracey and Wade Golby; his grandparents 

Clarence and Donna Golby and 

Don and Linda Maron; brother Evan 

Golby; aunts and uncles - Lyle and 

Delayne Golby and their children 

Jenna (Hunter Baldwin), Adam and 

school and they were married in 1963. 

Not long after, along came children 

David, Jason and Kari. Sharon was a 

doting wife and mother who extended 

this love and care to three nephews 

who she raised for a time in their perfect 

little house in Parkhill. 

Sharon and Dave loved to travel, 

often taking road trips to the West 

Coast and into the U.S. with friends 

and family. Some of her favourite trips 

were taken with cousin Allan and his 

wife Sylvia, brother-in-law Wayne, and 

let’s not forget her iconic trip to Las 

Vegas with sister Deanna to see Elvis 

perform. 

It is no surprise that Sharon had several 

dear, close friends, many of whom 

Logan: Brad Golby and his children 

Tarisa (Kolby Wittmack) and son 

Kylan, Ashley (Jaycee Hendry) and son 

Noah, Justin (Madison Nichols) 

and their mother Dana Golby: 

Tina and Dale) Tuchscherer and 

children Justin (Avrianna Hebert) 

and Daina (Tyler Clemence), Terry 

(Pauline) Maron and children 

Hope, Isaac and Adison; numerous 

other relatives and many friends. 

He was predeceased by great 

uncles and aunts - Edward and 

Annette Golby, Don and Laura 

Fawcett. 

A Celebration of Life for Quinten 

was held at the Brownfield 

she stayed in touch with for most of her 

life. 

If you called her in the mornings, 

her line was often busy as she would be 

on the phone sorting out the gossip and 

problems of the world, wearing her signature 

orange lipstick with a coffee 

and a cigarette in her hand. 

She loved having friends and family 

over, and a card game or six was mandatory. 

She loved playing Scrabble and 

sometimes her games with Kari would 

get a little bit tense. The bingo halls 

and casinos will be missing her 

contributions. 

While primarily a homemaker for 

most of her life, in her younger years 

she worked at Simpsons Sears in the 

Legacy of love and warmth 

Donna Robinson 

1954 - 2024 

Donna Marilyn Robinson peacefully 

passed away on March 19, 2024, leaving 

behind a legacy of love and warmth. 

She was born on Sept. 30, 1954 in 

Camrose, Alta. and attended 

Donalda School and Wm. E. 

Hay Composite High School. 

Donna met and was united 

in marriage to her beloved 

husband, Norman Robinson in 

1976. Together, they built a life 

filled with love, laughter and 

cherished memories. 

Donna was a devoted mother 

and grandmother to her three 

children, Tannis, Kent, and 

Donavan and her seven grandchildren 

Abbigail, Tova, Grayson, 

Lincyn, Oliver, Dax and Weldon. Her 

unconditional love and unwavering 

support were constant sources of 

strength for her family. 

Beyond her role as a mother, Donna 

was known for her kindness, generosity 

and all the ways she enriched the 

lives of those around her. Though she 

Robinson 

may no longer be with us in person, 

her spirit will live on in the hearts of 

all who were fortunate enough to have 

known her. 

A luncheon to celebrate Donna’s life 

will be held on March 27, 2024 at 

Spirit’s Respite Ranch at 2 

p.m. Friends and family are 

invited to join together to 

honour and remember a 

truly remarkable woman 

who touched the lives of so 

many. 

In lieu of flowers, the 

family requests that donations 

be made to the ALS 

Society, STARS, Spirit’s 

Respite Ranch or the 

Omega Circle in memory of 

Donna, reflecting her spirit of generosity 

and compassion.

dealing, and ran a babysitting 

room at a local bingo hall. She was up 

to any task and always took great 

pride in her work. 

After moving to Big Valley in 1996 

Sharon finally got 

her drivers’ license 

and took great 

delight in driving 

all over to visit 

loved ones and to 

go fishing. She 

enjoyed being in 

her garden and had 

the most wonderful 

flowers which, 

unfortunately, the 

cats also loved. 

Watson 

Sharon’s health started to decline 

and she struggled with many new and 

interesting ailments in her later years. 

Husband Dave and her kids all made 

sure that she got to her appointments 

and that she was taken care of. 

In 2023, Dave and Sharon relocated 

to Willow Creek Lodge in Stettler 

where she was happy to let others do 

the cooking and cleaning. 

Sharon was predeceased by her parents 

Richard Smith, Doreen Toker, her 

beloved in-laws Edward (Jock) and 

Eleanor Watson, her good friend 

Sylvia Webster, and her loving firecracker 

of a son, Jason Watson. 

There are so many other wonderful 

things to say and stories to tell about 

this amazing woman. She will be 

extremely missed by her family: husband 

Dave, children David and Kari, 

nephews Greg, Clark and Brett, her 

great-nieces and nephews Sydney, 

Jenna, Brittney, Sam, Terrace and 

Devin who thought of her as their 

grandmother; sister Deanna Kuzyk, 

her many cousins, especially Allan 

and Joan, and friends, with honourable 

mention to Sandra, Betty and 

Elsie, and everyone else who knew this 

very special lady. 

We love you lots. 

A Celebration of Life will be held at a 

later date. Memorial donations may be 

made to the Alberta Cancer 

Foundation.
