Killam Post Office ‘minions’ take Scarecrow Fest prize

Repeat offender arrested twice in two days in stolen vehicles

Reports say the pilot was returning to the Flagstaff Regional Airport after dropping off a passenger north of Wavy Lake near Strome, but crashed
that Killam RCMP were asking members of the public to be on the lookout for any suspicious individuals on foot in the rural Strome/Daysland areas of Flagstaff County. They added
Police confirm that the crash investigation is now in the hands of the TSB. Police are not releasing the name of the pilot at this time out of respect for the family.

Province contemplating police funding share from rural and small communities Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Alberta contracts policing from the RCMP, with the province covering the costs of police for all small municipalities under 5,000 residents and rural districts. Centres with higher populations pay for their own municipal police forces, or contract RCMP directly, and are eligible for grant funding to help offset the costs. The province is presently reviewing that funding model and starting consultations with municipalities that are presently not paying for policing. According to the Rural Municipalities Association (RMA), the province has put forward options that include a funding formula partly based on population, 30 per cent, and partly based on equalized assessment, 70 per cent. The RMA has already voiced concerns about policing based on equalized assessment figures, “It transfers a significant amount of the costs to counties and municipal districts without addressing the service levels in rural and remote areas that are so different once you get outside of an urban community where a police detachment is housed,” says RMA President Al Kemmere in a message to members. He says another concern is that the province is apparently considering transferring 15 to 70 per cent of the policing costs to these small and rural municipalities. “The values applied to these numbers will definitely become a huge challenge for our members by having a significant effect on their bottom line, while not enhancing service levels. “This is just a shift in the tax burden.” Alberta’s Opposition Leader Rachel Notley says that at 70 per cent, that averages out to $406 per resident per year. In an op-ed piece authored by Justice
Minister Doug Schweitzer on Wednesday, Sept. 25, he says, “To ensure we have a law enforcement system that enhances public safety and emphasizes frontline policing, our government is fulfilling our campaign promise to review how police are funded in Alberta. “The current model has resulted in a shortage of policing services. “We’ve been listening to Albertans, municipalities, and others and are asking for feedback on a number of models on how police should be funded.” Schweitzer adds, “If any new funding model that would collect funds from more municipalities is chosen, any funds collected would be reinvested in frontline policing and would lead to an overall increase in funding for police services in Alberta.” Flagstaff County Council heard during their Sept. 25 regular meeting that ranges from 15 to 70 per cent could add anywhere from approximately $200,000 to over a million to their annual expenses for the county alone based on models presented by the province. “That’s more than we’re presently paying for our Community Resource Officer,” was one comment Flagstaff County Council had during their Sept. 25 meeting. Minister Schweitzer is currently travelling on a “Talking Rural Crime” tour, recently extending it to new dates and adding an online survey. The tour will visit Camrose on Wednesday, Oct. 9, to hear people’s concerns about rural crime. The event in Camrose will be at the Norsemen Inn from 7 to 9 p.m. An online survey can be completed, a link to this can be found at: https://www.alberta.ca/rural-crime-engagement.aspx
The survey is open until Oct. 31. It covers issues such as community safety and policing, and crime-reduction matters.

RCMP have had their share of moose/vehicle collisions reported over the past month. There’s rarely a winner when you encounter a moose on a rural highway, but it can be interesting to find them in fields around the region, especially this fine specimen, showing off his ‘beard’ and the fuzz on his antlers. This photo was taken earlier in the summer, obviously, as what was then yellow turned white this past weekend.
Flagstaff Waste heading towards a banner year Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Flagstaff County Council Deputy Reeve Howard Shield presented a committee report from Flagstaff Waste Management during Council’s regular meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 25. Shield presented highlights from the Waste Management Operations report, with revenues up from a number of sources over last year. Scale revenue is up $30,000 over the previous year due to some major projects in Sedgewick and Killam, and asbestos recycling is up $119,000 from last year, and $135,000 over 2019’s budgeted amount. Bin rentals are down overall, with fewer temporary bins in service for 2019, with total sales dropping around $20,000 from last year. Waste Management has sold over 800 tonnes of recycled concrete aggregate after running a newspaper ad campaign with The Community Press, in Flagstaff and Beaver County, with $15,000 revenue resulting. Alliance and Hardisty transfer sites are being upgraded, with Alliance starting in September, and tentatively being completed in 2019, but no firm plans in the works until 2020 for Hardisty. Shield advised Council that Flagstaff County had been chosen as one of the pilot project sites for the Ag plastic recycling project, but as yet had no details on what that will entail. They are expecting more information by January. Assistant CAO Brent Hoyland asked about how the closure/post-closure reserve fund was recovering, saying, “They are doing very well with replenishing that fund.” Councillor Jeanette Herle, who is the primary Flagstaff Waste Management representative from Council but who was unable to attend the meeting said, “The group is really very happy with the growth. I believe 2021 is the projected catchup for the post-closure account.” A cash flow trend report shows that the closure/post-closure reserves have increased from $392,715.50 at the end of 2013, to $1,467,222.52 as at Aug. 21 this year. Reeve Don Kroetch asked, “Will the requisition rate be reduced when the catchup goal is hit?” Hoyland asked, “What is the present life span of the facility?” Herle promised to bring back answers at the next Council meeting to both questions. She added that due to increased air space (height) and other factors, including better packing equipment, she knows the life span of the landfill had recently been extended. Council discussed a basic overview of what closure would look like for the site, with grazing land vs. farmed acres, with environmental monitoring. Shield reported to Council that the committee also approved an adjustment to salary ranges at Flagstaff Waste Management, who have 15 full-time and five part-time staff members, approving a proposal to add two steps to the existing eight-step salary grid. There would be no immediate impact on payroll, but over the long term, the adjustment allows employees to stay in their current salary grid positions for two to four years longer.

Killam News writer enjoys Elton John farewell tour performance Ally Anderson Killam News
Howdy my fellow Killamites. Is it already time to start singing Christmas jingles? I know we have all heard every man and his dog complain about the winter storms this weekend, but I’m still a wee bit annoyed by it. Yeah, we could have had it way worse than we did compared to those in Southern Alberta, but it still was a rude awakening to an already crummy weather-wise year. Hopefully the snow waits a little while longer before staying. I can accept the pre-show if that means we get a decent October. So far the weatherman is saying this is how October will go. But they like to change their minds every five seconds, so I’ll see it to believe it. I was away for the entire weekend with family. I did, however, get to experience Elton John on Friday evening, and I might say it was a fantastic concert. Elton John is on his farewell tour, and we were lucky enough to get tickets to go along with Kerry and close family friend Grant. Elton is one of my all time favourite musical artists and it was my second time seeing him live. It was quite the experience hearing some of my favourite songs like Levon. It was a magical three hour show with little to no breaks, and I was extremely impressed that at 72 years old, he still can put on an incredible show. After that, Eric left me behind in the city with my family so I could spend some time seeing some who had come into town to visit and check in with my Oma. She is very sick and they just aren’t sure how much more often they’re going to be able to come visit her. It was a great time with a lot of laughs as we looked through some old photo albums. My aunt and uncle and father were quick to regale tales
that the photos reminded them of, and told me of my relatives back in the homeland in Germany. It was fascinating to hear about how many relatives I have across the ocean, and to hear about my dad’s family in greater detail. There will be some great stuff to watch this weekend. In Strome on Saturday there will be a Threshing Bee at the Hartys’. They will have demonstrations of threshing, binding, plowing, and more! You can check out their Classified ad in this week’s edition of The ‘Press. The Wheat Kings will be back in action at home this weekend as well, with their first game at home being on Friday evening against the Vermilion Tigers. They will then have another game
on Saturday agains the Lloydminster Bandits. They played their first game in Wainwright on Saturday last weekend and took a 6-2 loss. But
that was only their first of many games and I know this team has a lot spunk and desire to win this year. Make sure you head on

Identity politics bite PM Trudeau in the butt - again Do last week’s blackface photos of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prove that he is a racist? People’s Party leader Maxime Bernier said it so well: “The PM is not a racist, just a hypocrite.” Unless you just returned from your bucket-list trip to Siberia, you no doubt know that pictures emerged last week of a 29-year-old Justin Trudeau painted black in an Arabian Knights costume party while he was a teacher at a private school in Vancouver. This was the third occasion in which he was dressed in blackface for some party, and he was asked over the weekend if it was the final time photos of such would be found. His answer was to avoid the question, making me think he is a serial blackface offender (“brownface” as the Liberal media have spun it to soften the negative taboo against Trudeau). Regardless, racism is in the heart. It is not simply uttering some off-handed comment, or making a joke, or playing dress up with black make-up. But embarrassing photos seem to be a weekly event for the PM. The week prior, he was photographed in creepy too-close photos with 19-year-old Bianca Andreescu, our newly crowned Canadian tennis champion. Those photos, (plus his hand in familiar territory on the upper chest of one of his female friends in the blackface photo, plus the groping accusations of a reporter) do bring to question the legitimacy of this self-proclaimed feminist. Always the greatest supporter of women and Aboriginal people, Trudeau hired First Nations Jody Wilson-Raybould and then destroyed her and former Health Minister Jane Philpott. Both were cast down from caucus for not toeing the party line or doing what the PM wanted in the SNC Lavalin affair - which was to interfere with prosecutorial independence. He also fired Liberal candidate Karen Wang when she tried to appeal to the large Chinese community in her riding to vote for her rather than Jagmeet Singh who is of “Indian descent.” She was immediately disqualified to run, with Trudeau explaining she was not representative of the high and mighty politics Trudeau puts forth. “One understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths as a country. Those statements were not in keeping for what the Liberal Party stands for,” he explained. But Trudeau has been playing a wicked game of identity politics and it has come back to bite him in the butt. That’s what happens when you are forever lecturing the Canadian people and your opponents for their sins against tolerance. Now he asks for the forgiveness he has been so unwilling to afford to others. Imagine his preaching had this been Andrew Scheer. Remember him changing “sons” in the national anthem?, or when he embarrassed a woman in Edmonton when she used the word “mankind” and he corrected her: “We like to say peoplekind because it is more inclusive.” Oh, brother! Sanctimony is Justin Trudeau’s real enemy here, not the embarrassing photos. He remains the face of the Liberal Party despite the “negative” image. KERRY ANDERSON

Alternative viewpoint Forgiveness and Bitterness A reader recently asked a question about forgiveness. Sometimes we know intellectually that we need to forgive and move on, but we cannot seem to let go of the bitterness remaining after we have been hurt. It is interesting to consider that the hurtful event is in the past. Assuming there is no repeat of the incident, we can ask ourselves why it keeps hurting. The answer we inevitably must come to is that we are continually reminding ourselves of, and reinforcing the hurtful event and how wrong it all was. In other words, we keep up an inner propaganda machine-a voice that continues to ‘bad mouth’ the ‘offender’, replaying the details of the ‘crime.’ While initially it may have been another who hurt us, it is we ourselves who continue to twist the knife. Consequently, if we want the suffering to stop, we have to make a conscious decision to let the issue go, and
SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST FORM
to stop thinking about it. We must decide that we are finished torturing ourselves, and to delete the memory from our ‘hard drives.’ Many of the hurts we have suffered, though real, were not the result of someone intentionally trying to cause us pain. We can ask ourselves how we would feel if we inadvertently offended someone, and knew they were playing the event over and over in their minds, months or even years after the incident. Replaying the past is like paying interest on a debt for a vehicle which was totaled in an accident. It is a waste of our resources, and there is nothing to show for it.

Photographers from Flagstaff shine in contest Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Vision Credit Union recently announced that Killam photographer Shaina George is the grand prize winner of their “You know you’re home when...� photo contest. This unique contest didn’t rely on outstanding photos alone, although there were many stunning entries. Winners were judged on the combination of their photos, past or present, along with the accompanying story about the subject of the photo, and how both celebrated their community. “Let’s see what makes your hometown home,� Vision challenged entrants. Shaina George was raised on the Coldstream Farm west of Killam, home to one of the most famous barns of the region, and had the best photo and best story of the contest. The George family barn was home to community dances from as far back as 1947, and Shaina’s entry included a stunning mirror image of the barn today, with a story about what it meant to her family, and to the community at large, then and now. She received her prize on Wednesday, Sept. 25, when Killam Branch Manager Trina Hofer stopped by the farm to hand her a cheque for $500. Shaylyn Wolbeck submitted an incredible sunset photo featuring St. Peters’ Church, and her story was about realizing how important the church was to the greater community after she’d shared the photo with friends and family. Wolbeck’s entry was neck-and-neck with another entry, by Beth El-
hard of Castor, in the highest-rated photo as voted on by the public. Each of them received a Community Engagement Award that came with a cash prize of $150. Wolbeck turned around and donated her prize to Daysland School Athletics. Elhard donated hers to the Castor Centennial Pool, topping the amount off to a total of $500. The third-place prize winner is another Flagstaff resident: Jody Busk from Hardisty took third place with a photo of a 70-year-old tractor with her son and her husband. She used black and white to really make a dramatic statement, pairing her picture with the story behind the photo; continuing the family farming tradition. The top 20 finalists’ entries were judged Sept. 5 by a group of volunteer judges from the Camrose Association of Community Living, who judged each entry’s story and photo in a blind vote.

RCMP deal with 164 calls over three-week period Leslie Cholowsky Editor with files from Cpl Trent Cleveland, Acting Commander Killam RCMP
Killam RCMP Detachment members dealt with 164 calls for assistance from Sept. 4 to 25. RCMP members were required to attend and check five 911 calls from various locations throughout the area. Police had six complaints of abandoned vehicles, none were determined to be criminal in nature. RCMP charged a 46year-old male with Aggravated Assault and two counts of Assault with a weapon in Amisk after a 67-year-old male was assaulted. Members had four animal calls come in, three to euthanize moose or deer after vehicle collisions, and one report of 15 cattle loose near Hardisty. RCMP are actively investigating three open files of complaints of assault, in Killam, Sedgewick, and rural Flagstaff near Daysland. RCMP assisted a federal agency with next-of-kin notification. Killam members were warned to be on the lookout for (BOLO) by Edmonton City Police, as well as Viking RCMP members, a stolen vehicle. The vehicle was not located in the region. Members assisted Fish and Wildlife officers with another euthanization. Alberta Health Services and County Peace Officers requested assistance from RCMP after reports of a suspicious person at Hardisty Health Care Centre. Members attended and confirm there was no criminal activity taking place. An ongoing nine-month investigation in 2018 regarding a complaint of fraud over $200,000 resulted in the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) arresting two males in Singapore, and charging them. Cst. Boisvert-Cormier was in charge of the investigation, and was recently notified of the arrests. Members were called to assist the general public in two instances; one was a tenant-landlord assist, the
other assisting parents with a child’s behaviours. RCMP had two breach of peace complaints, in Daysland and Hardisty, both were related to noise complaints. Members attended both scenes, and no arrests or charges were made. An RCMP member used discretion after a complaint of breach of recognizance was made to the detachment. Killam RMCP are investigating 13 total break and enter complaints; seven to businesses, three to rural oilfield sites, and three to residences. Three individuals were arrested and charged after a break in and trespass at a Forestburg business. Gemma Herman, a 37year-old female from Sylvan Lake, was charged with possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes, two additional weapon related charges, and mischief under $5,000. Herman was released on a $2,500 no-cash bail. William Johnstone, a 40year-old male from Castor, was also arrested. Johnstone had four warrants outstanding from Black-
falds which were executed regarding 12 criminal code charges and two provincial violations. In addition, police added eight charges, including mischief over $5,000, three firearm-related charges, trespassing, and three charges of failing to comply with recognizance. Johnstone was remanded into custody until a Sept. 25 court date in Camrose. Donivin Layton, 21, of Mirror, also received 10 charges from the incident, including Mischief over $5,000; multiple firearms charges, trespass, four charges of failure to comply, as well as for the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Layton, too, was remanded into custody. The arrests were made with the assistance of Bashaw, Stettler, and Camrose RCMP Detachments along with information from members of the public. Killam RCMP members worked with BC RCMP investigating serious allegations involving youth. Two complaints of criminal harassment are being investigated by Killam
members as part of an ongoing issue. A complaint of causing a disturbance turned out to be a noise complaint in Hardisty. A complaint of driving while disqualified had members following up, but the vehicle was not located. Police are aware of who the subject of the complaint was. RCMP had two complaints of failure to stop and remain at the scene of a collision. In Lougheed, members were able to locate and follow up with all members involved, with no charges being laid. Police are still investigating a hit and run at the Sedgewick Co-op Food store where a vehicle was hit while parked. RCMP responded to two false alarms, one at Hardisty Tank Farm, the other from Amisk Hotel. Members assisted the Daysland Fire Department with a house fire there. Police investigated a firearms complaint from Hardisty where shots were heard. Members made patrols but did not see or hear anything out of the ordinary.
A complaint of fraud under $5,000 was made to RCMP, related to charges on a company gas card. Killam members received three information files from Alberta Callback units related to suspicious activity occurring in the area and are following up on all three. RCMP had two reports of found property, with bicycles found in one instance, and stolen property recovered in rural Flagstaff County. Police responded to three complaints under the Mental Health Act, transferring two individuals to the nearest medical facility.
Members had seven reports of mischief, all throughout the region. Each complaint is presently open and under investigation. Police ticketed 16 moving violations, and are conducting four impaired driving investigations. In Strome, a 63-year-old male refused to provide a breath or blood sample, and will be in court Nov. 5. A 34-year-old Hughenden female was stopped in Hardisty and faces multiple charges including Impaired Driving, Driving over 0.08, Driving while Unauthorized, Driving See RCMP P20

Flagstaff Council finalizes first Intermunicipal Development Plan with Provost with Hardisty, and suggested meetings with Hardisty and the developer before further steps are taken. Reeve Don Kroetch said he agreed with gathering more information as the next step forward. The landowner in attendance also promised to forward a letter with any concerns about the development to the county. A second public hearing on Wednesday was held to hear any objections or support for a new IDP with the M.D. of Provost under Bylaw 06/19. The first reading of this bylaw has been done, but Council heard recommendations for wording changes have now been made; Hoyland told Council these were minor wording changes that did not change the intent or purpose of the document. Council passed the amendments, then gave second and third reading
Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Flagstaff County Council held a public hearing on Wednesday, Sept. 25, regarding a proposed amendment to their Land Use Bylaw 09-18 to re-district SE-35-42-10 W4; a portion of which is “Highway Commercial (HC) District” and a portion of which is “Agricultural (A) District”, to “Industrial (I) District”, for the purpose of accommodating the installation of a temporary tank farm (140’ x 45’) with seven 1000 bbl tanks for methanol 50 per cent/ propylene glycol 50 per cent hydrotest fluid storage. The amendment bylaw’s first reading was done Aug. 14, with the public hearing set for Wednesday, when anyone affected by the amendment, or with objections to the amendment could speak. One nearby landowner attended the public hearing to get more information. After the hearing was closed, Assistant CAO Brent Hoyland notified Council that the county’s planner recommended that only the parcel of land where the proposed development would sit be redistricted. He also noted that the land in question falls within the Intermunicipal Development Plan

Village of Alliance regularly appreciated for being so welcoming Libby Whittall 780-888-5097
Alliance libbywhittall@gmail.com
Waking up to snowfall and three inches of the white fluffy stuff on the ground Monday morning, my first thought was for the fields of unharvested crops still on the ground. It was tempting to head over to the café to listen to the local discussion, which was surely swinging between complaining about and humbly accepting the weather. Instead of going to participate, I went out to harvest one last plant, sweeping a g arden path through the snow as I went. Although my mood was a bit down because of the view from the windows, once I was outdoors, tromping through the heavy, wet snow in my rubber winter boots, breathing the damp, cool air, and watching my dog Miss Molly Greensleeves rolling over and over with delight, I felt better. We live on a beautiful garden planet, but it’s not a terrarium; we have little to no control over the weather or its powerful effects on human society. For all we know, another early winter could mean a time of global cooling is upon us, as has happened many times in the past. We know so little about the future, all we can do is be as happy as possible right now, regardless of the circumstances the weather brings upon us. The federal election is coming up and there will be a polling station in Alliance run by Laura Towers and myself. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to participate in an election at this level and I’m sure there will be a lot of valuable information taught at the training sessions. The job doesn’t pay much for the day, but as was ingrained in me by many years of Brownies and Guides, it is a part of every citizen's duty to take an interest and participate in civic and national affairs. In anticipation of placing my vote, I am thinking about issues that actually have an effect on me and people in the village. There are many seniors here who purchased inexpensive, affordable homes and are
hoping for a secure retirement, but all the extra costs weigh them down. I was shocked at the size of my electric bill this last month, so I called the company to ask what I could do to reduce my consumption. As they explained my bill to me, I saw that I was actually using very little of their product and the exorbitant costs were all fees for this and that. My suspicion was confirmed when they told me there was nothing I could do to reduce the bill. I received a phone call a few weeks ago that was asking me to pass on a message from the Wong family, who owned the two
restaurants here in Alliance years ago and who I mentioned in this column last month. The message they asked me to convey was how much they appreciated the welcomes and the acceptance they received from the community members of the time. It’s good to hear
that there was no discrimination to be seen and I think Alliance is still the same welcoming community it was back then. The bible says “He who wants friends must be friendly.” So, if you are feeling lonely, start by volunteering and help to keep Alliance the friendly vil-
lage it is. We had a great home church meeting and potluck this last Sunday at the Stoner’s house and the message spoken to us was, “We reap what we sow.” The bulletin said the service would be closed with the song “I Shall Not Be Moved,” solo, by Betty
Stoner, which caused a burst of laughter. We all pitched in off-key to help her belt it out, which caused even more laughter; it was a great way to start our week. If you have any news or stories to share, please send me an email. Bye for now.

Lorna and Lois Polege joined their cousin Brenda Eberl for a few days in Victoria, BC. Victoria is such a walkable city and is a great place to explore some history, visit the Butchart Gardens, try out lots of restaurants, and have a good visit. They highly recommend The Dutch Bakery and Coffee Shop. Another highlight was seeing the Nazarene Compassionate Ministries’ Compassionate Resource Warehouse, which works with partners around the world to send shipping containers full of equipment and supplies. It's kind of like the Good as New Shop times 10. Starting next week, there's a taking back Flagstaff County prayer tour, as people from all denominations are invited to join in two weeks of evening prayers. Pastor Ben Kellert describes the event as, "Binding our hearts together for this cause to believe in God for a miracle in our County." A
detailed schedule should be available at all churches in the Flagstaff County. The 100 Women Who Care in Flagstaff County have recently counted 125 women who are participating in the non-profit organization. Members could nominate an organization to donate to until the end of September. Their first meeting is on Oct. 15, where they will vote to determine the first recipient of their donation. They didn't start too long ago and are already making big waves. We're excited to see what they'll accomplish. Anyone can change the world and make it a better place. Thank you to all the participants and founding partners for believing that anything is possible and coming together to make an even bigger change happen. A rural mental health project coalition meeting is on Oct. 16 at the Flagstaff Family and Community Services (FFCS) office. At that time all interested people are invited to join in as they identify existing services, community strength, opportunities, promising practices, and a
set of key strategic activities to consider over the next three years and beyond. For more information please contact Holly Bovencamp or FFCS. It's concert month as Honeymoon Suite, with Prism and Lee Aaron, will be in town on Oct. 19; some tickets are still available. It's Sedgewick’s chance to rock. The second-annual Sabres Halloween party is later this month, too. Music will be provided by Beach Bad Boys and tickets will become available at the beginning of October. The Sedgewick United Church will be hosting their fall supper in late October. It will be open to the public, as they appreciate the support for one of their biggest fundraisers of the year. On Sept. 26 in Lougheed four tables with two extra players gathered to play whist. The ladies’ high was Lorraine Musfelt, mystery was Gay Backen, low was Millie Meyers, and travel was Martha Pope. The men’s high was Robert Drager, mystery was Wayne Johns, low was Bob Taylor, and travel was Don Mackinnon.
Nighthawk to open and play VIP for upcoming Sedgewick mega-concert Edmonton rock band ‘Nighthawk’ has been added to the roster for the “One Night of Rock” concert coming up at the Wild Rose Co-op Recreation Centre in Sedgewick on Saturday, Oct. 19.

Flagstaff Council Continued from Page 9 Thompson said, “My only concern is, with or without the penalty?” Hoyland responded, “It’s setting precedent to set a payment schedule without a penalty, our recommendation is to include the penalty.” Kroetch added, “I’ve spoken with the Reeve of Stettler County, they added a penalty as well.” Hoyland told Council that Wainwright also added a penalty, but that Beaver did not, perhaps due to Pine Cliff being one of that county’s larger ratepayers. Council passed a resolution to approve a monthly payment schedule with penalty. Council reviewed a proposal from Tarin Resource Services Ltd. regarding allowing Tarin to market and sell the County’s aerial image data, providing a 35 per cent royalty payment on net sales. Hoyland said, “We’re currently getting nothing when our aerial image information is accessed from our website.” Councillor Erik Skoberg asked, “Who owns the information?” Hoyland advised that Flagstaff County presently owns the aerial photo data. Skoberg asked if there is any privacy act infringement in having the data sold, and Hoyland confirmed there is none. He explained that the data is already available through the County’s website, but Tarin, who has the largest geospatial database in Western

A 39-year-old male from Camrose was arrested and charged for possession of a controlled substance, also possession of stolen property, being in possession of a stolen debit card, and resisting police in Camrose. Killam members charged one individual with possession of a motorcycle stolen from the Edmonton region, and police have five open investigations of possession of stolen property.
In the first instance, a 36year-old male from Camrose was charged in Galahad with possession of property obtained through crime, resisting a police officer, fail to comply with conditions, operating a motor vehicle without a proper licence, driving an uninsured motor vehicle, and driving a vehicle without a licence plate; and will appear in provincial court in Killam on Nov. 5. Killam members are conducting an ongoing investigation into a com-
Canada, will have the right to market and sell the data, while Flagstaff County retains full ownership. Purchasers under the proposed agreement will not have any rights to resell or redistribute the data. “It’s our data,” Hoyland said, “but they have the market for it.” Kroetch added, “It’s a single source data advantage and a foot in the door for Flagstaff County for investment opportunity.” Council passed a motion to enter into the agreement. Earlier in the year, the provincial government announced a property tax relief initiative for shallow gas producers, cancelling 35 per cent of 2019 property taxes and any related penalties for all qualifying properties in the province. A list of qualifying properties has been provided to all affected municipalities, with Flagstaff County having only three shallow gas producers with qualifying properties: Long Run Explorations Ltd., Pine Cliff Energy Ltd., and Alphabow Energy Ltd. The total amount, 35 per cent of all three rolls, comes to $1,975.04, which will then become eligible for a credit from Alberta Edu-
cation for an equivalent amount on the December 2019 education property tax. Kroetch commented, “I’m surprised at how little investment in shallow gas there is in Flagstaff.” Hoyland responded that other municipalities are being impacted much more by this initiative. Council passed a resolution on the 35 per cent cancellation and refund as required by the province.
plaint of public mischief. Police have responded to a complaint of libel over a comment made on social media; this complaint is part of a larger investigation by police. Sixteen suspicious persons and vehicles complaints were made to RCMP, all have been documented. Members dealt with three reports of stolen bicycles from Killam, two stolen vehicles from Flagstaff County, as well as two thefts from motor ve-
hicles, both in Killam. Members had 14 motor vehicle collisions reported during this period. Two complaints of trespassing were made to police; one complainant declined to pursue charges, and for the other police had insufficient evidence to support a charge. RCMP are investigating a complaint of uttering threats against property or an animal. Police were asked to perform two wellbeing checks; one individual was
undergoing a mental health assessment, the other was located without incident. If you have information about these or any other incidents, please call the Killam RCMP at 780-3853509. If you want to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), by internet at www.tipsubmit.com, or by SMS (check your local Crime Stoppers www. crimestoppers.ab.ca).

OBITUARY Connie Patricia Sutter
Constance (Connie) Patricia Sutter was born on November 20, 1956, in Westmount, Quebec. She passed away on September 23, 2019, at the age of 62, after a year-long battle with a malignant brain tumour. Connie married Allan on July 14, 1976, in Corn-
wall Ontario, where they lived for one year before moving back to the farm at Lougheed. Throughout the years, Connie was very active in the community and the Nazarene church. She volunteered at the local food bank, 4-H Beef Club, coaching minor ball, and the Hardisty Communities in Bloom. Connie was best known for Connie’s Greenhouse. She ran her business on the farm for 24 years and loved meeting and visiting with all her customers. In 2014, Connie decided to close her greenhouse and do her favourite job, being
a Grandma. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Family has always been the most important thing in her life. Connie will be forever loved by Allan, her husband of 43 years, her daughter Carrie (Todd) and their children Gabriel, Benjamin, and Joshua; and her son Curtis (Anjuli) and their children Vera, Oliver, and Wyatt. Sadly missed by three sisters; Jennifer BrownMajor (Brian), Sheela St. Louis (Daryl Smith), Laura Brown (Narendra Budhia), three brothers; Christopher BachandLauko (Pride Bagde),
Faith Column Between tomorrow’s dream and yesterday’s regret is today’s opportunity. I’m not sure who gets the credit for making this statement but I believe they should get some. This is a very profound and heart-searching statement that requires some real evaluation. Where are our thoughts and efforts expended? Are they on trying to fix the past; with all its accomplishments or failures? Or
perhaps our time and energy is focused on tomorrow, with thoughts of what we could possibly be or accomplish, or earn, or become, or gain, or win or, or, or.... Jesus said, “No one having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.” I think it is pretty clear as to where our focus needs to be. It needs to be fixed straight ahead.
What about tomorrow? Well, it is very good to have dreams and aspirations for the future, but we must never forget that before tomorrow is a very special and precious today. God has given us today, we are not guaranteed a tomorrow. We are not even guaranteed our next breath and so we must live each and every moment as if it were our last. Pastor Ben Kellert Killam Pentecostal Church
James Deneault (Melanie Tomczak), and Richard Brown (Donna); her beloved mother-in-law Doris Swanson, brotherin-law Garry Sutter (Sheila), and sister-in-law Kathy Ellis (Tony). She also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews and many close friends. Pre-deceased by her parents Richard Campbell Brown and Jeannine Marie Estelle BachandRowland, and her fatherin-law, Louis Murray Swanson. Connie will be remembered for her strong will, enduring faith, compassion for others, and her love of family and friends. She was an inspiration to us all.

Wheat Kings fall in season opener to Wainwright Emily Tanton Student Reporter
It was back in September of 1982 when Killam first decided to enter a hockey team known as the Wheat Kings into a Junior League. The then-called Central Alberta Junior “B” League has since been renamed the North Eastern Alberta Junior “B” Hockey League and the Wheat Kings are now entering their 37th year as an organized junior hockey team. Russell Grant was one of the founding members of the board and club president of the Killam Wheat Kings that year. In an interview in 1982 Grant spoke highly of his new team and was excited for what the future would hold for his players. “The Wheat Kings will be a team for all of
Flagstaff, from which it is hoping to draw a nucleus of players. The youth is here, the talent is here, and we hope that not only Killam, but all of Flagstaff will support us.” Grant believed the team’s role would be to provide good, clean sport and raise good citizens who are in a critical age group. Current Head Coach, Bob Charchun, wholeheartedly agrees with Grant’s statement about the Wheat Kings and is excited to see what this year’s team will accomplish. “We have a great group of kids once again that understand the importance of a community team. They are eager to learn and have been working hard so far.” Thirty-seven years after the first Wheat Kings team took to the
Blanket Alberta Ads take approximately 10 days to process
ice, the team is young and full of potential, with three veteran players retiring last year and many simply not returning. The Wheat Kings retired two forwards and one defenceman last year; Clay Lang, Bailey Antos, and Ryan Guhle all aged out of the Killam team. Colton Leslie, Cole Lewis, Jackson Angelstad, and Jordan Mandel were all expected to return this year but opted not to, leaving the Wheat Kings short two senior forwards and two senior defencemen. Killam has a mix of local Flagstaff kids as well as what Charchun says is a strong contingent from Camrose that is critical for sustaining the Wheat Kings program going forward. It’s been a month since camp opened at the beginning of September for
the Wheaties, but due to the irregular harvest, September school startup, as well as work commitments, Charchun says it’s been difficult getting the whole team on the ice. “It will take a while for some of our young guys to find their feet and it's up to our veterans to lead the way with their experience.” The Wheat Kings played their first game of the season on the road last Saturday, losing 6-2 against the Wainwright Bisons. Kobe Charchun and Braydan Davis were the scorers of the night, each assisting the other’s goal as well. The Wheat Kings were trailing 5-0 right until the middle of the third period when two powerplays allowed the Wheat Kings to attempt to come back. The Bisons poked an-

Municipalities to ‘do their part’ to balance provincial books, AUMA delegates hear Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Alberta Minister of Municipal Affairs Kacee Madu spoke to delegates attending the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) on Thursday, Sept. 19, about what to expect in the province’s long-awaited 2019 budget, to be announced next month. "We are in a tough economic situation right now, and it is my expectation that all of us will work together to overcome the current difficulties," he said. Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) funding was put in place in 2007 to assist the province’s municipalities with operating funding to cover day-to-day costs as well as capital funding to build or maintain infrastructure, or any other capital projects. AUMA President Barry Morishita told reporters afterwards that he thinks municipalities are prepared for a reduction in MSI funding ahead of the program’s 2022 end, “Particularly if they only go after capital; it’s a little easier to scale our plans up and down on capital. “The critical part will be the operating portions.” Rural Municipalities Association President Al Kemmere said in a communication to members, “Municipalities are willing to do their share to reduce the deficit but not at the long-term cost of looking after our assets, which are essential in moving of goods and services that support the provincial economy.” While Flagstaff municipalities only learned this August what their 2019 MSI allocations are, most already had their 2019 budgets in place in late 2018 or early 2019. MSI funding will come to an end in 2021-2022, and no plan has been put in place to replace it, al-
though the province says: “The government continues to discuss the future of municipal infrastructure funding with our municipal partners.” The province entered into a funding agreement with Calgary and Edmonton, replacing MSI funding for those centres in 2018, leaving the two cities to share $500 million for 2022 and 2023. “Stable and predictable infrastructure funding is just as important for other municipalities, and the government will share information on the ongoing work to develop an MSI replacement as soon as it becomes available.” The 2019 allocations for
every municipality in the province is available from Alberta Municipal Affairs. Municipalities also receive funding through the federal gas tax fund (GTF), and this year’s GTF allocation included a $50,000 one-time top up for everyone but Killam and Flagstaff County, who received $54,208 and $285,086 respectively in addition to the regular installments. Regarding the future of MSI funding, the province says, “MSI funding can only be confirmed for the current program year as updated municipal population, education tax requisition, and local road length in-
formation are required to calculate future annual funding allocations.” The province says it has made improvements to the reporting for MSI funding; municipalities will not be required to submit spending plans to receive payment of the operating portion, instead they only need to report on how the funding was spent. The capital allocation may be carried forward for a total of six years, but must be spent on an accepted project by Dec. 31 of the sixth year. Without an indication of whether or not MSI funds will continue at close to current levels past 2019, municipalities

have expressed their frustration in needing to submit three-year financial plans under revisions to the Municipal Government Act (MGA) and five-year capital addition plans without any indications that grant funding from the province will continue from year to year. After a meeting with Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely, Hardisty Town Council sent a letter to Lovely following up on
key discussion points Hardisty had, and asking Lovely to share with other MLAs and ministers. The letter lays out specific capital expenditures that lie ahead for the town to meet the needs of the community, including future growth, and to meet provincial guidelines and compliance regulations. These expenses are well outside what property tax revenue can reasonably provide.

Heisler community to host suppers this fall Maxine Badry Heisler P.
780-889-2113
Hi everyone, were you surprised to see the snow this Monday? Did they predict snow on the weather report last Sunday? I didn’t see the report. It was more moisture we didn't need; let's hope that is the end and that we are
blessed with some good weather and some wind for the next two weeks. Many farmers don't have their potatoes dug up, their corn picked, or their carrots harvested. I remember digging up carrots in the snow one year on the farm; they were still good and kept well. So one never knows, hopefully the plants are holding on. Did you all get your slips for the sausage supper? They are in the mail.
Yes, our sausage supper is on Sunday, Oct. 27, so mark your calendars everyone. The sauerkraut is now brewing; it should be delicious. Marcie Matthiessen has returned home after spending 10 days visiting with her daughter Amber Fauche, son-in-law Curtis Fauche, and her grandchildren in Pinawa, Manitoba. Shirley Heisler spent a few days with her daughter Deb Bendfeld, helping her celebrate her birthday
Heisler Council votes to leave FIP Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Heisler Council voted to make a clean break during their July 29 regular Council meeting, passing four motions that resulted in the village rescinding support for the Regional Broadband Project - joining Hardisty, Killam, and Daysland, and rescinding their five-year commitment to Flagstaff Intermunicipal Partnership (FIP), previously made via letter sent June 13. In another motion, Council voted to give their six-month notice to withdraw from the FIP committee, and send notice of their intention to withdraw from the regional
SCADA, the Regional Water Operators’ Consortium Project by the end of 2019. Alliance, Hardisty, Killam, and Sedgewick remain in that group. These decisions of Council were not part of the village newsletter highlights of July’s meeting. Highlights included confirmation of incentive property tax breaks for Patty Schulte and Noreen Steil for their new development on Heisler’s Main Street, resulting in tax cancellations totalling $1,644.13. Also included in July’s highlights were the purchase of two new pumps for the lift station, and sale of a 2006 John Deere lawn tractor and IH 855 Tractor
with 700 loader. Council voted to advise Flagstaff County Council that the village of Heisler will commit $2,000 per year for three years to help fund a Community Resource Officer position, adding a request for a ‘Crime Watch Tow Hall Meeting’ in Heisler annually to educate residents on crime prevention practices and news. August highlights include approval for the CAO to apply for an LED lighting grant, as well as to purchase a pump for the lift station for $8,177. Council accepted a proposal to install a plastic playground border and finish the project, at a cost of $2,005.50.
Teen Challenge visits Strome This past Sunday, the Strome Community Church hosted a delegation from Teen Challenge, a program run by the Alberta Men’s Centre in locations such as Priddis during their morning service. Their website states that “Teen Challenge Canada operates 12-month in-residence alcohol and drug addiction rehabilitation programs with centres located in Alberta, Atlantic Canada, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. “ They offer help and hope to those struggling with alcoholism or addiction to other drugs through a proven, faithbased program. Addicts, alcoholics, their families, and their friends begin their restoration at Teen Challenge. On Sunday morning, three of the men shared
their stories of how their addictions started and how they spiraled out of control to the point of them wanting to end their own lives. After someone directed them to the Teen Challenge Centre they began getting the help they needed to overcome their addictions and improve in other areas. Teen Challenge focuses on sobriety. They help individuals process mood swings, tiredness, and anxiety as their bodies recover from addiction. Physical health is supported with nutritious food and exercise. The 12month program also provides time for the addict to heal. It usually takes a year to reboot and start new habits. Most of the Teen Challenge graduates say that the focus on faith was vital to their transformation and
success. When addicted men and women acknowledge that they cannot find freedom over drug and alcohol addiction on their own, are willing to commit to a 12month, faith-based program, and are ready to put in the hard work to change, Teen Challenge is ready with a program proven to work. Presently, the centre in Southern Alberta is in the process of raising funds for an addition that will double their capacity from 12 to 24 beds. The parishioners of the Strome Community Church were given the opportunity to become sponsors to help with the addition. It was an eye-opening morning for those in attendance. A time of coffee and fellowship followed the morning service.

Jerry and Shara-Lynn Weller have returned home after spending a few days visiting with their daughter Mandel Babe, son-in-law Daryl Babe, and baby Aksel in Medicine Hat.

MUIRHEAD’S LTD. 4601 49 Street - Hardisty
780-888-3926 24-Hour Line: 1-888-384-3601 Safety First Muirhead's Ltd. is a family-run business built on exceptional customer service. That founding commitment to customer service hasn’t wavered over the years. In fact, it’s the reason the company continues to grow in an increasingly competitive oil and gas industry. “We want to be able to provide unparalleled customer service,” says General Manager Justine Ness. “Open 24/7. We’ll answer your call at 3 a.m. We will be out there for you. We will go the extra mile for you.” Safety First Muirhead's Ltd. was established by David and Patricia Muirhead in 1996 and has served customers throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC, and the Northwest Territories ever since. David and Patricia began the company with just one air trailer and a tiny shop. Throughout the years, Safety First has grown considerably since its humble beginnings and now has a fleet of 14 air trailers and 12 medical units. David’s son, Jonathan Muirhead, took over operations in 2012. Continuing with the firm’s upward trajectory, Jonathan and Justine recently purchased a 3,300-square-foot office and shop in Sherwood Park. “We want to keep growing,” says Justine. “We are continually looking at ways to improve in areas of reliability, quality, and safety. We are proud of our company's record and dedication in providing the best service.” Safety First Muirhead's Ltd. is an active participant in the Partnerships in Health and Safety Program and holds C.O.R. designation, as well as ISN. Of course, Safety First has also been propelled by quality personnel.
“Our staff is really what drives this company forward. We have a phenomenal staff,” Justine adds. “Our office atmosphere is like nothing I’ve ever been a part of before. We laugh, we have fun, and we are professional. Our clients, they love coming in here to talk to us. Our clients actually come to us, which is a unique thing for most service companies like ours. We wouldn’t be where we are without our staff.” Safety First Muirhead’s Ltd. is staffed by a team of qualified safety supervisors, on-site medics, instructors, and office personnel. Because Safety First is a seasonal-based company for most of its onsite services, staffing numbers range anywhere from 20 to 60 employees depending on the time of year. All staff are trained with a minimum of WHMIS, TDG, Standard First Aid, Petroleum Safety Training (PST), H2S Alive, and Confined Space Rescue Level I and II. Each employee holds a valid driver’s license and has a clean driving abstract. Medics are all accredited by the Alberta College of Paramedics as EMR, PCP, ACP, and carry the required tickets to be present on an oilfield site. Nurses are registered with the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta. Safety First provides a full range of safety products and services. Under the safety banner, they provide supervision for a variety of projects, including: turnarounds, completions, decommissioning, hot and cold tie-ins, service and drilling rigs, production testing, and plant and pipeline construction. On-site services include: NCSOs, safety advisors, breathing air trailer technicians, breathing air trailer bottle watch, confined space attendance, rescue personnel for tank vessel entries, technical rope rescue, gate access control, traffic control, clean-up crews, fire watch/spark watch, and much more. On the medical side, Safety First provides mobile treatment centres, medic office trailers, and ambulances. Safety First also offers in-house courses such as H2S Alive, first aid, confined space/rescue, global ground disturbance, fall protection, ACSA flag per-

son, skidsteer operator, ATV/UTV training and aerial platform training, in addition to a wide variety of online courses. Safety First’s comprehensive panel of occupational testing is designed to help companies in all industries monitor the well-being of their employees, minimize the employee health risks and promote health and wellness in the workplace. It includes: urine testing, hair follicle testing, breath alcohol testing, saliva testing, audiometric testing, spirometry testing, vision testing, fit testing, and RN and physician medicals. Safety First is also the place to go to rent a wide array of safety equipment, as well as to purchase or rent fire extinguishers, and to have them serviced. In addition to all of these services, Safety First also stocks a large supply of workwear; which they have deemed the “SFM Workwear” portion of their successful business, featuring popular brands such as Carhartt, Helly Hansen, Muck, IFR Workwear and even Saxx. There is something for everyone; including options for women and children; and always expanding due to popular demand. Justine offers the following sage advice for anyone looking to start a business or expand an existing one in the Flagstaff Region: “The advice I have for business owners coming into the Flagstaff area to open up a business is to always have an open door. Always be there. Think outside the box. “We are a rural community, and we need things that are tough to get out here. So always be thinking outside of the box. What are people looking for, asking for? What can you do to make your business better? What is in your capability to offer? What can you do to go the extra mile? That’s what has made us successful.” For more information on
