Let’s look at diversification

Amelia Naismith

Tammy Kublik

Pipestone Flyer

As the recession looks to be settling in, politicians, government officials and business leaders have begun talking about “diversification.” The topic has come up before, in 2008 the last time the economy sank into quicksand. Whether any diversification has been conducted on behalf of Albertans since then is a matter of debate. There is one unsung hero of Alberta’s economy, and that is tourism. Alberta is a beautiful, breathtaking, fascinating place to visit. Even lifelong residents

have plenty to learn by exploring the four corners of this province. The historical profile of Alberta is interesting. There are plenty of places in Alberta that offer a time machine to Alberta’s past and offer learning and surprise. In southern Alberta, lots of excellent historical and cultural resources are a very short drive apart. Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump is an interpretive centre about 90 minutes south of Calgary on Highway #2. The centre offers the history of the craggy area as a hunting trap for aboriginal people, and archeological evidence at the site stretches back at least 14,000 years. Nearby in Fort Macleod, the NWMP Fort Museum has an impressive collection of artifacts from both aboriginal and non-aboriginal sources, including the precursor of the RCMP, the North West Mounted Police. The history of settlement in southern

Reader says Wetaskiwin County budget out of control Dear editor, With all the cutbacks from government freezing wages, private sector rollbacks, layoffs, wage freezes, the County of Wetaskiwin have approved a three per cent cost of living adjustment (COLA) for all salaries and wages for employees. Can we as ratepayers afford this? From the County of Wetaskiwin’s financial statement Dec. 31, 2014, salary of councilors, CAO and designated officer assessment, here is their 2014 salaries: Councilors from Div. 1 to Div. 7 salaries 324,980 times 3 per cent COLA = 9,749.40 increase. Can we afford this? Salary for CAO 193,515 times 3 per cent COLA = 5,805.45 increase. Can we afford this? Salary designated officer assessment 109,822 times 3 per cent COLA = 3,294.66 increase. Can we afford this? The cost increase for the seven councilors, CAO and designated officers for assessment is 18,849.51, this is not counting the rest of the county employees. The allowances for councilors, CAO and designated officer assessment is $110,388. Look at the Pipestone Flyer Thursday, Dec. 24, 2015 page 11, “Wetaskiwin County approves interim 2016 budget.” We have to question why those we elect to represent us prosper, while those who provide their salaries languish and suffer.

Wayne Maygard, County of Wetaskiwin

Alberta, including stories about the famed Blackfoot Chief Crowfoot and the birth of the ranching industry, are on display. In the summertime, the Fort has it’s own equine musical ride. In Crowsnest Pass, the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre is an eye-opening introduction to the history of mining in Alberta. The interpretive centre tells the story of the Town of Frank, destroyed 100 years ago by a mountain landslide. It’s a must-see for any Albertan or history buff. Heading west, Rocky Mountain House boasts the RMH National Historic Site, the place which hosted the Hudson Bay and North West Company trading posts. The history of famed cartographer David Thompson and the rest of the Voyageurs are presented alongside the story of First Nations in the area. The site usually has a herd of bison there too. Then there’s natural or

what some call “sporting,” tourism including hunting which is an attraction that brings people from around the world. Alberta has world-class fisheries too; angling is a massively popular pastime. Don’t forget straightforward outdoor activities, like ice climbing, caving, hiking and other exhilarating sports along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Even areas of the province that may not appear to hold obvious tourism, like the Palliser Triangle area of eastern Alberta, have yet to exploit a natural resource that is fast becoming a popular attraction in the Jasper area. “Dark sky” watching has become one of the bestkept secrets in tourism. The hobby involves enjoying the Milky Way galaxy that’s minutely visible in areas of Alberta at night that don’t have lots of man-made glare. It’s completely unexploited right now in an area of the province that would be perfect

for it. There are more tourist opportunities in interpretation and heritage that aren’t being exploited. The “Golf Ball” in Alsask, a hamlet on the AlbertaSaskatchewan border, was a part of the “pine tree line” of radar stations built during the early Cold War to protect the United States (and of course Canada) from Soviet missiles or invasion across the arctic circle. It’s a fascinating part of North American history that many today, especially in the Millennial generation, know little or nothing about. Currently, many abandoned defense bases are simply rusting away. With the dollar low, Canada should be very attractive to American tourists as they get 30 to 40 cents more on the dollar; Alberta should be capitalizing on this and making tourism the kind of industry that can stand beside energy, agriculture and forestry.

Opinion Kyoto protocol’s collapse no surprise

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER Recent talk by our diligent provincial government about climate change and how our diligent provincial government is working 24 hours a day to save us from ourselves reminds me of something I wrote a lot about early in my career: the Kyoto protocol. The protocol was an agreement on paper by dozens of nations, which they were concerned about the environment, and the effects of human

activity on the environment (mostly pollution). Generally, the protocol called for keeping nations greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels. When the controversial document came to Parliament, Conservative Party MP Bob Mills set a House of Commons record for longest filibuster (Nov. 26, 2002, 11 hours), as he was dead set opposed to the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol; Jean Chretien’s Liberal majority was guaranteed to pass the Kytoto protocol, and showed no interest in either the opinions of opposing politicians or the people who elected them, or the economic effect the Kyoto Protocol would have for the benefits it offered. “The Benefits It Offered.” Therein lies the meat of the issue. Mills, MP for not only Red Deer but also Rocky Mountain House, the community where I worked,

was a retired schoolteacher who reveled in exposing posturing politicians and exposing hypocritical, corrupt and pointless exercises like the Kyoto Protocol. Mills pointed out to me in numerous interviews that, though the Kyoto Protocol signatories swore to tackle the demon of climate change, some, if not all, of the largest polluters in the world were not involved in the protocol. The United States didn’t ratify the protocol and China apparently only signed the Kyoto Protocol on agreement that the communist nation wouldn’t have to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. Globally, China is one of the largest emitters of carbon dioxide in the world, if not the largest. In 2006, according to the Netherlands E n v i r o n m e n t a l Assessment Agency, China overtook the U.S. as the largest emitter in the world of CO2. If you pay

attention to international news, you’ll be aware of how air pollution in China has become staggeringly bad. On Dec. 1, 2015 Global News ran a story about a Beijing artist who was able to “vacuum up” the Chinese capital city’s “air” and bake the air into a brick. The Kyoto Protocol also included “flexibility mechanisms.” In essence, these mechanisms ensured that not all Kyoto partners were created equally. Some were allowed special treatment. India, for example, was given “non-binding” targets for the Kyoto Protocol. Meaning, India was allowed to continue polluting as it wished. India’s contribution to polluting the global ecosystem is considerable. According to the report “Country Analysis Brief: India” written by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in 2011, India was the third larg-

est emitter of CO2 in the world in 2009. Then there are the crooked parts of the protocol. The agreement included a scheme called “carbon credit trading.” Nations with vast green space, such as Russia, that absorb much more CO2 than the country produces, are allowed to offset massive pollution created by other nations, for example China and India. Of course, payment in hard currency would be included, and nations with vast green space, like Russia, wouldn’t really have to do a damn thing except cash cheques. Pretty good scam, huh? The complexities of the Kyoto Protocol can’t be explained in a space this limited, but I suspect you’re beginning to see what this agreement offered. Keeping foreign nations like China and India from polluting the atmosphere is impossible; they do

as they wish. Many governments, including our provincial NDP, feel that reducing electricity use in North America is far more important than lobbying nations like China and India to cut down the amount of atmosphere bricks they’re creating. It’s true, though, we can all help in the global battle against climate change. The average Albertan can do a lot to prevent pollution: at home, use energy efficient light bulbs, buy energy efficient appliances, ensure your home is properly insulated and don’t waste water. At work, try to cut the number of idle electrical devices sitting around and, if possible, use public transportation or carpooling. When buying a vehicle, try to buy the most fuel efficient one possible. Stu Salkeld is the new editor of the Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer and writes a regular column for the paper.

Journalism 30 years ago to today

BY TREENA MIELKE BLACK PRESS I began my career in journalism with a certain amount of surprise and a great deal of trepidation. I, a housewife with three kids, whose expertise had revolved around making melt in your mouth delicious cinnamon buns, stepped tentatively past the threshold of the news-

paper world, not quite able to believe I had made it past the interview stage. But, somehow, it seemed the paper gods were smiling down on me, and before I knew it, there I was. A reporter. My first assignment was to cover a town council meeting, actually understand what they were talking about and then write about it so it made sense not only to me, but also to my readers. I was so nervous my pen was vibrating, but I wrote copious notes, not understanding too much of anything I wrote. I agonized over my notes later. “What?” I mused. “What was I trying to say? What were they trying to say? Oh my goodness, I should have stayed in the kitchen. Whatever was I doing trying to be a reporter?

What if I wrote the wrong thing? What if I misquoted somebody? Actually, for about three decades now those questions have continued to plague me. When I first began my career as a journalist, I was given an old typewriter to work on. It did not return the carriage all the way, but I was told to improvise, so I did. I banged stories out on that old typewriter probably with more determination than skill, but my stories ran every week and every week I banged out more. Editors tore my stuff apart and I wrote and rewrote and I was completely happy. I also worked in the darkroom, rolling negatives, developing negatives, and finally making prints.

I was not happy in the darkroom but no one knew, because it was, after all, dark in there. But it was part of the job so I learned it and I did it and was even a tiny bit impressed with myself until the day I accidentally dropped the negs into the wrong solution and they came out blank. That was the week I learned who my true friends were. A true friend helps you avoid the wrath of an editor and allows you to stage a picture with them in it, even if it is midnight. On deadline day we cut and pasted all our stories and pictures into strips and somehow we fit them all into these huge pages laid out on giant light tables. After the pages were done, they were taken to the camera in the back where the negatives were

shot. Then the negatives were taken somewhere, but by this time, I did not care. I was done. I was terrible at cutting and pasting. Someone from production who was much better at it was always redoing my pages and I would go around muttering “sorry” and feeling very inadequate. Finally, after I cut and pasted for what seemed like forever and people went behind me and redid all my work, we would order Kentucky Fried Chicken and laugh and talk and be all happy. Deadline day was over. The paper was done. Finally, one day the little independent newspaper I worked for was sold to a big newspaper chain. It wasn’t awful. It wasn’t the end of the world. We all kept our jobs. It was

simply change. As it turned out change included no more cutting and pasting. We had to learn to lay out the pages on the computer. I was terrified. I remembered fondly the days of my typewriter with the carriage that routinely jammed. Sometimes when I struggle to figure out the three remotes we have in our house now, I feel the same way about an old television set we had with a dial that worked only on channels six and eight. But, of course, change is inevitable and, in the long run, usually good. Apparently now we are supposed to “tweet” people. My goodness. What next?

FINANCIAL ADVICE YOU DESERVE

Tax free savings account a great option SUBMITTED BY GOVERNMENT OF CANADA The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) program began in 2009. It is a way for individuals who are 18 and older and who have a valid social insurance number to set money aside tax-free throughout their lifetime. Contributions to a TFSA are not deductible for income tax purposes. Any amount contributed as well as any income earned in the account (for example, investment income and capital gains) is general-

ly tax-free, even when it is withdrawn. Administrative or other fees in relation to TFSA and any interest or money borrowed to contribute to a TFSA are not deductible. A person determined to be a non-resident of Canada for income tax purposes can hold a valid SIN and be allowed to open a TFSA, however, any contributions made while a non-resident will be subject to a 1 per cent tax for each month the contribution stays in the account. You can have more than one TFSA at

any given time, but the total amount you contribute to all your TFSAs cannot be more than your available TFSA contribution room for that year. Generally, interest, dividends, or capital gains earned on investments in a TFSA are not taxable either while held in the account or when withdrawn. There are, however, certain circumstances under which one or more taxes may be payable with respect to a TFSA. The following sections provide information and examples of when and how these taxes are payable, and by whom. Normally, in most TFSA situations, there is no tax payable, and therefore, a TFSA return is not required; however, where one or more of TFSA taxes are applicable a TFSA return is required must be filled out and sent by June 30, of the year following the calendar year in which the tax arose. There are three types of TFSAs that can be offered: a deposit; an annuity contract; and an arrangement in trust. Banks, insurance companies, credit unions and trust companies can all issue TFSAs. For more information about a certain type of TFSA, contact a TFSA issuer. Self-directed TFSA: You can set up a self-directed TFSA if you prefer to build and manage your own investment portfolio by buying and selling different types of investments. For more information, contact a TFSA issuer. Be aware of these rules and restrictions You can contribute up to your TFSA contribution room. A tax applies to all contributions exceeding your TFSA contribution room. Withdrawals will be added to your TFSA contribution room at the beginning of the following year.

You can replace the amount of the withdrawal in the same year only if you have available TFSA contribution room. Direct transfers must be completed by your financial institution. To open a TFSA, you must do the following Contact your financial institution, credit union, or insurance company (issuer); and provide the issuer with your social insurance number and date of birth so the issuer can register your qualifying arrangement as a TFSA. Your issuer may ask for supporting documents. If you do not provide this information or provide incorrect information to your issuer, the registration of your TFSA may be denied. If your TFSA is not registered, any income that is earned will have to be reported on your income tax return. Your federal income-tested benefits and credits such as: old age security (OAS) benefits, the guaranteed income supplement (GIS), or employment insurance (EI) benefits will not be reduced as a result of the income you earn in your TFSA or the amount you withdraw from your TFSA. The income earned in the account or amounts withdrawn from a TFSA will also not affect your eligibility for federal credits, such as the Canada child tax benefit (CCTB), the working income tax benefit (WITB), the goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax credit (GST/ HST), or the age amount. You can withdraw money from the TFSA at any time, for any reason, with no tax consequences, and without affecting your eligibility for federal income-tested benefits and credits. More information is available online at http://www.cra-arc. gc.ca/tfsa.

Trained, tru$ted and totally into your taxes. All the services. All the support.

FINANCIAL ADVICE YOU DESERVE

Six tips for spending your tax refund SUBMITTED BY ENCOMPASS CREDIT UNION A wide-screen TV might entice you. A tropical beach might beckon. But if you can resist the temptations, there are ways to get a bigger bang for your tax refund buck. 1. Pay down debt Especially that high interest, non-deductible credit card debt. A $5,000 credit card balance at 18 per cent compounded monthly costs you $978 per year. Ouch! 2. Pay off RRSP loans Your RRSP loan was a smart strategy, and it created a larger tax refund. Now apply that refund to the balance of your loan. You’ll save on interest charges and free up money that would otherwise go toward monthly loan payments. Channel that freed-up money into your RRSP by setting up a monthly Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) Plan. 3. Make a lump sum RRSP contribution for the current tax year The sooner you contribute, the sooner your investments start to compound, and the more you end up with when you cash out. 4. Create a rainy day fund Are you prepared to cope

with emergency purchases or unexpected interruptions to your household income? It’s not a good idea to dip into your RRSP, especially if it contains the kind of investments that should be held for the long run. Instead, set up a separate rainy day fund. It should contain three to six months living expenses in secure, liquid assets. Start building your rainy day fund the stress-free way using monthly PreAuthorized Contributions. 5. Save for a child’s education Drop your refund into a Registered Education Savings Plan on behalf of a child or grandchild. The federal government kicks in a 20 per cent bonus to the plan, to a maximum of $500 every year. Then, make sure that your child’s education nest egg continues to grow by setting up monthly Pre-Authorized Contributions. 6. Avoid getting a tax refund in the first place After all, what is a tax refund? It’s really an interest-free loan that you’ve made to the government as a result of paying too much tax. Solution? Set up a Pre-Authorized Contribution Plan so you can make regular monthly payments to your RRSP. Your PAC Plan entitles you

your budget allows. When financial markets are volatile, your PAC Plan acts like a shock absorber, thanks to the advantages of dollar cost averaging. Since you invest the same amount every month, your money naturally buys more fund units when prices are lower, and fewer fund units when prices are higher. Over the long term, this simple strategy tends to reduce the average price you pay for fund units, so you can enjoy higher

potential gains. Mutual funds are offered through Credential Asset Management Inc.

Incandescent album offers a smorgasbord of genres BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER Listening to Harlan Wells’ Waiting for June was an unanticipated and surprising journey of discovery.

The album opens with Lonesome Road and I immediately thought outlaw county but this album has so much more to offer than that. Within the first few songs, Waiting for June

also displays lighter tones of country-rock. Harlan Wells himself offers listeners a clear voice to latch onto with a subtle hint of a husky rasp to add another dimension to the music and adds a little character and cohesion to the songs. However, Waiting for June did not carry on as just a rough and tough country-rock album as initially expected. By the sixth song it was easy to see the album also had a more sorrowful, bluesy side. These were my original thoughts on Waiting for June. When I reached Strong it was the first song I was disappointed with. It came off as forcefully enlightened and generic (but I think that could be the Judaism-based Christian tones coming through).

Wells’ talent never waivers but such music can get a little monotonous to itself with its singular messages of heavenly love and strength, hence the “generic-ness.” Even though Wells’ kept the rasp in his voice the song seemed quite out of line with the rest of the album — at first. Once Strong was fully digested, the eighth of 11 tracks, which heavily references Noah and the flood, it changed the flavour of many of the songs on the album, including Lonesome Road to music with similar vibes. This surprise discovery showed me there really is more to Waiting for June than initially meets the ear and listeners can continue to peel back the layers time after time. The fact that Wells created something so iridescent

that will be able to take on and show off different components depending on who’s listening is the mark of a master musical artisan. While the lyrics of cer-

tain songs may not interest the less religiously or spiritually inclined there’s no denying Wells’ talent or the astounding accompanying music that married each track seamlessly.

PIPESTONE FLYER 9

Millet Soccer Association celebrates milestone SUBMITTED BY ERIN SAUNDERS MILLET SOCCER ASSOCIATION With the closing of the 20th anniversary year of the Millet Classic tournament, it seemed only fitting for Millet Soccer Association (MSA) to follow this up by inducting 14 lifetime members and two honorary members into its ranks during a special awards night held on January 29. In attendance were past presidents who had served MSA from the early 1990’s all the way through to the current president. Over 40 people attended the func-

tion at the Millet Royal Canadian Legion. In addition to the Life Members noted in the captioned photograph, lifetime memberships were also awarded Paul Pay (founder), Esben Larsen, Terri-Sue Larsen, Margaret Shinness and Randy Shinness. The lifetime members were all recognized for their immense contribution to soccer in Millet over many years – their unique qualities reflected how they each gave time above and beyond the time period that their own kids were involved in the sport. For example, Rex Johnson,

who was a board member in 2011, showed the current board in 2015 how to run the paint machine and the irrigation system. David Ramsey, past president from 2000/01, was on hand at last year’s tournament to help with the administration and fill in anyway possible. The list of how these past board members, to this day, continue to help with the Association is endless. Two outstanding individuals were also named honorary members of Millet Soccer. Chuck O’Neill of C. O’Neill Distributors was not only instrumental in founding the association back in 1989, but he has been a huge supporter of minor sports in Millet. The other individual is Al Hendriks of Pipestone Links Golf Course. Since installing the irrigation system in the Paul Pay fields, Al has been MSA’s turf “expert”. Without his expertise and constant nurturing, the fields would not have been in the great condition they were in just in time for the 20th Annual Millet Classic tournament last year. A significant moment of the awards evening was recalling the quote made by founder Paul Pay back in 1989. “Why should our kids have to travel to Leduc or Wetaskiwin to play soccer?” Once Paul said that, he and newly inducted honorary member Chuck O’Neill set out

to start Millet Soccer 27 years ago. And Millet history was made. Also, since Paul moved from the area a few years later, the ensuing board members had never met him. It was with a great chuckle that a picture of Paul was displayed and the attendees said “Oh, that is what he looks

like.” MSA president Erin Saunders noted that the 2016 board was thrilled to host this event to honour its past. However, “seeing the past made us think of the future,” she said. More board members are needed for this upcoming season as registration starts

Feb. 27 in the Hugo Witt room in the Agriplex”. This year, there are 4 registration dates. Feb. 27, March 16, Mar. 22 and Mar. 23. Times and locations can be found at www.milletsoccer.ca, on Facebook, or people can contact MSA registrar Kathryn at 780362-2369.

PIPESTONE FLYER 11

Wetaskiwin county council approved community donations BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER County of Wetaskiwin councillors made multiple decisions regarding different recreation and community culture endeavours at their Feb. 2 meeting. Plexiglass donation The Alder Flats Agricultural Society is being given the plexiglass from the Winfield Agriplex as the glass will not

fit the dimensions of the new, aluminum dasher system being installed in the Winfield establishment come spring. Wetaskiwin county council received a letter from the Alder Flats Agricultural Society requesting the plexiglass, which is in good condition, be donated to them for a new skating rink in Alder Flats. The Winfield Minor Hockey Association has volunteered to remove the current wooden dasher system and plexiglass from

the Winfield Arena, cutting the removal costs from the project, which County of Wetaskiwin CAO Frank Coutney previously stated is being covered by the $1 million in Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) funds the county received late last year. Coun. Lyle Seely moved council donate the plexiglass to the Alder Flats Agricultural Society. “We’re giving it to them,” said Coutney in an interview with the Leduc-Wetaskiwin

Pipestone Flyer. He added council was able to go through the matter with little discussion. FCSS donation Council also increased it’s annual donation to the FCSS Seniors Wellness Conference from $200 to $500. Coutney says the request for an increase is a result of rising costs and that the county has been making the donation for the conference for a long time.
