Frustration evident at Stettler County meeting Debra Johnston
ECA Review reporter Stettler County councillors ploughed through a packed agenda at their Apr. 13 meeting. Several delegations addressed council on a variety of subjects from the new shop to solar energy. After prolonged discussion, both the Borrowing Bylaw 1558-16 for the new shop and the voter plebiscite were quashed. Council requested that administration bring back to council what options are left for the new shop for a special meeting scheduled Apr. 20 following the afternoon Municipal Planning Commission meeting.

Kneehill pays off debt two years early Debra Johnston
ECA Review reporter Kneehill County realized a $2.9 million surplus in 2015 due to savings in several areas like lower project bids and lower fuel costs. Director of Corporate Services Mike Morton presented council with the finalized numbers from the 2015 financial statements at the Apr. 12 meeting. Council considered options of where to apply the surplus. Morton offered

several scenarios, one of which was to use part of the surplus to pay off the county’s water service area debenture two years early, saving $40,000 in interest. Of the $2.9 million, $1.8 million will go towards the debenture, $460,000 into contingency reserves and $621,209 will go to balancing the 2016 budget. Morton also presented options to balance the budget, which had a $1.8 million dollar shortfall. Along with a portion of 2015 reserves, council chose

to cancel a $500,000 project for shop and grader shed upgrades. A transfer of $750,500 towards the building reserve was also cancelled.

Clearview unlikely to save Halkirk school Debra Johnston
ECA Review reporter Concerned parents of students in Halkirk’s Mother Teresa School are trying every avenue to keep the school open, if even for a few more years. JD Johnson and Kevin Perry addressed Clearview School Board trustees at their Apr. 14 meeting, hoping to find support to keep the school open rather than have children bused to Castor. “It’s easier for almost everybody involved to go to another school…except the children,” stated Johnson. The local community is behind the push, according to Johnson, with volunteer efforts and fundraising.
Johnson is scheduled to meet with County of Paintearth to see if they would consider purchasing the building, which would eliminate maintenance costs if Clearview took over the operations side of the school. “There’s such a sense of community there,” explained Perry “You won’t find a more committed group of parents and kids.” Parents are actively involved stated Perry and despite the small size of the school, students are thriving. “There’s a bigger story than the spreadsheets. It’s vital to our community.” Response from the board was empathetic but not hopeful. In a follow up phone call, Johnson stated that it was likely
the school will have to close with students dispersing to other schools as there really is no other alternative left. The school, which had previously been part of the Clearview School Division before the Catholic Association had bought it, is set to close its doors at the end of this school year.

CORONATION COUNCIL
Coronation town council opted to move the Skate shed that’s use is intended for skaters using the outdoor skating rink on the tennis courts for putting on skates but is being used as a ‘sex shack’. It was reported to council at their regular meeting Apr. 11 that the outdoor skate shed in Coronation is being as a “sex shack” as well as a place to smoke and do drugs by kids as young as 13 and 14 years of age. Council decided to have the shed moved to the public works yard until further decisions can be made for its use.

Delburne set to test preparedness ECA Review reporter
Debra Johnston
Knowing council’s responsibilities during a disaster was the focus of an emergency refresher session for Delburne council during their Apr. 12 meeting. Alberta Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) field officers Bruce Mackenzie and Craig Sallows, along with Dan Marsellus, Director of Emergency Management walked council through procedures to follow in the event of an emergency. The visit precedes Emergency Preparedness Week, which falls in the first week of May. Marsellus has a mock
emergency exercise planned for that week to test the readiness of council, staff and first responders in Delburne and surrounding areas. Mackenzie affirmed the need for council to have procedures and people in place and trained prior to any actual event occurring. Saving lives is the top priority in a crisis, followed by the protection of property and environment, then protection of economy stated Mackenzie. As well, Mackenzie emphasized the need for all levels of a community to know their roles from families maintaining emergency kits to council knowing when and how to declare a state of emergency.
Lisa Joy
Hager told council that Lacombe County’s industry mill rate is comparable across Alberta but added that he has heard from oil companies in the county cautioning them to be careful with the mill rate and don’t over tax. Hager said some businesses in the county have gone bankrupt and council can’t collect taxes due from them. This year he said it amounts to about $135,000 and expects the amount to double next year.
-- ---
The provincial and federal governments both have agencies and resources at the ready to assist communities but must receive a request from the municipal level for that assistance. The responsibility to make that request falls on council. More information about how to prepare for an emergency is available on AEMA’s website.

Lacombe County has an operating budget surplus from last year of almost $1 million. At its regular meeting April 14, Lacombe County council voted in favour of allocating $600,000 to the tax rate stabilization reserve and $313,000 to uncollectable property taxes. Coun. Ken Wigmore told council he would like to see the surplus go towards keeping the 2016 mill rate down. Lake resident’s “At a time like this our raterequest beach access payers would appreciate it if we A group of Wilson’s Beach put the surplus towards the 2016 budget,” he said.

Pandas are different from Bear other bears. For one thing, eye they have eyes like a cat. And their front paws have an unusual thumb—sometimes called a false thumb. This is not actually a thumb, like a human thumb. It is a part of the wrist bone that sticks out to the side like an extra finger.
Number the pandas in order from smallest to biggest.
Baby pandas are itty-bitty bears. They weigh only 4 to 6 ounces at birth (114-170 grams).

Claims of exaggerated costs and tax rates distorting the facts Cont’d from Pg 1 Black mold in the pressed straw that insulates the building was visible where part of the interior wall had been pulled back. Several code violations from exposed electrical junctions to the lack of a proper crash door at the exit were pointed out. The entire report of what is required to bring the shop up to code is available on the County of Stettler website. WSP’s report did not seem to convince Coun. Ernie Gendre of the need for so many repairs. Gendre accused some council members of inflating and exaggerating the costs of repairs to the old shop and ‘hiding costs’ of the new shop from the public. Gendre contended that council really doesn’t know precisely what needs to be done with the old shop. Coun. Greggory Jackson responded that Gendre had the reports right in front of him of what needed to be done. “We keep throwing a bandaid onto something that’s not going to change,” stated Jackson. According to Coun. Les Stulberg, the old shop property is not zoned for commercial/industrial use. The road entrance to the shop has a weight restriction that the county must regularly violate in order to
bring equipment into the yard.

venture proposal to the county to act as general contractor for the new shop. Both Unruh and Bagshaw stated they could provide services at less cost than the current general contractor although both conceded the work would likely take longer to complete. According to CAO Tim Fox, considering another alternative would complicate the tender process and would require a legal opinion.

RELENTLESS ON WEEDS. SAFE ON WHEAT. FLUSH AFTER FLUSH™ CONTROL. With EVEREST® 2.0, no grower has to sacrifice yield or crop safety in order to control weeds in wheat. EVEREST 2.0 Herbicide, the new standard for grass control in wheat, has advanced safener technology built in to provide peace of mind while delivering longlasting control of green foxtail, wild oats and key broadleaf weeds. FLUSH AFTER FLUSH™ CONTROL LEADS TO BETTER YIELDS In University of Saskatchewan field trials, researchers found that regardless of conditions, EVEREST 2.0 delivered Flush after flush™ control of wild oats and green foxtail with no risk of injury symptoms. The crop was able to grow without adverse effects, thanks to the super selectivity of EVEREST 2.0 on all varieties of spring and durum wheat. “We like that EVEREST 2.0 gives customers a wide application window that lets you spray at your earliest convenience, regardless of weather conditions,” says Jaron Bye of Eagle Agro. “Spraying early provides the best weed control, and with EVEREST 2.0, young wheat has the best chance to become established
and reach its top potential yield. And at the same time, if the rains come and the crop advances, EVEREST 2.0 is still safe to apply.”
EVEREST 2.0. A herbicide you can count on. For more information on EVEREST 2.0 visit Eagle Agro, or call 1-866-761-9397
BEST-IN-CLASS CONTROL OF GROUP 1 RESISTANT GRASSY WEEDS More and more, spring wheat growers in Western Canada are plagued with Group 1 resistant grassy weeds. As a Group 2 herbicide, EVEREST 2.0 is the best option for growers struggling with Group 1 resistance. It is the only group 2 herbicide that provides Flush after flush control with unsurpassed 16043TA0 crop safety. SUPERIOR FORMULATION AND CONVENIENCE “EVEREST 2.0 is an advanced, highly concentrated liquid formulation,” says Trent McCrea, Arysta LifeScience marketing manager, herbicides. “It’s a user-friendly, nohassle product that wheat growers can rely on, with exceptional convenience and flexibility.” One 2-litre bottle will treat 80 - 100 acres for wild oats and green foxtail. In addition, the high-quality liquid formula with safener technology makes it compatible with multiple tank-mix partners.

The Cadogan fire department was called out to a fire in the pile of railway ties in town around 4 a.m. and the second fire was spotted two miles south of Cadogan in a brush at approximately 6 a.m. Cause of either is unknown at this time. Fire bans and advisories have been announced across Alberta with the high winds and dry spring causing problems. ECA Review/D. Prediger

• From Dwight Perry’s Sideline Chatter in the Seattle Times, quoting from USA Today: “Give-andtake between Bubba Watson and a Masters fan, after Watson sliced a drive into the trees and tried to address his ball: Watson: ‘Can you back up? You’re really not supposed to be back here.’ Fan: ‘Neither is your ball.’ Watson: ‘I don’t know about you, but I have two green jackets. Thanks for coming.’”

According to Imrie, a legal challenge from oil and gas companies to reduce coal bed methane assessments will go to appeal in September. Kneehill and surrounding counties will have legal representation at the hearing because wells belonging to those companies are located in the county.

EAST CENTRAL OUTDOORS
The chucks by Bob Chapman Until recently I had not watched a chuckwagon race or rode a horse since I was a small boy and I had to put a quarter in them to make them “run”. This sport has recognized huge growth both in size and popularity and I found them very entertaining and interesting. The work, gear, dedication and preparation demanded by the modern chuckwagon racer and their team are huge and commendable. Although there are a few racing
circuits in our province the race I attended was a Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association (CPCA) event, one of eight organized tour events every summer. Points are awarded 36 down to one, plus aggregate points for consistency. This article will concentrate on the CPCA as the events in this circuit are within a reasonable drive of people living in east central Alberta. Chuckwagon races are not new to Alberta, with the first races dating back to 1923 at the Calgary Stampede. Turn to Roots, Pg 10

Racing roots date back to the late forties
Cont’d from Pg 9 Although not called the CPCA at the time, its roots date back to the late forties when ranchers and farmers would get together and race horses hitched to grain wagons. Chuckwagon races were initially part of a rodeo and evolved over the next few decades until the 1970’s when the Northern Chuckwagon Association (NCA) was formed as a separate entity and later in 1979 the Northern Professional Chuckwagon Association (NCPA) was formed. Chuckwagon racing continued to grow and evolve and in 1995 became the CPCA. Each team consist of a driver, a fourhorse team and two outriders. One outrider holds the reigns of the team at the beginning of the race and the other outrider loads the “stove” in the back of the wagon when the horn goes off. The outriders then both mount their horses and follow their wagon around the track and must finish within 150 feet of the driver. The 2016
CPCA circuit begins in North Battleford, Sk. the first week of June and ends in Lloydminster mid August. As of the Lloydminster sponsorship tarp sale on April 5, 2016, there were 29 teams registered for this season. There are teams represented from Czar, Lacombe, Wetaskiwin and two from Chauvin with the remainder located farther north in the Lloydminster, Onion Lake, Bonnyville, Dewberry areas and many teams from central and northern Saskatchewan as well. Over the years the CPCA has grown and evolved with many changes, the majority of them focusing on safety.
The current regulations state that the wagon must be a minimum of 1325 lbs. including the driver and the stove. The
wagons are pulled by four thoroughbred horses weighing about 1300 lbs. each. Some drivers choose to wear

The band is comprised of grade 8 students, from the left, back row: Dylan Brown, Gibson Osetsky, Jo Brigley, Felicity Mears and Mr. D. (K-Dawg) Kinakin, the band coach. Front row: Tristen Shaw, Aiden Kobi and Jaron Scribner. Taking home a beautiful plaque, three band members also won individual medals for showcasing their instrument/singing skills. Urban Hazzard is now working on adding to their repertoire of songs with plans to perform more in the spring. ECA Review/Submitted
Defined rules Cont’d from Pg 10 There are defined rules for scoring and penalties with numerous judges and cameras positioned around the track to ensure accuracy and to resolve discrepancies. Wagon drivers must control their team and there can be big penalties and even fines for interference with another team. One of the things that I observed after talking to people in the circuit is what a huge family event these racing teams are. On many occasions there are two or three generations involved with the racing team, so it is great to see one of the old traditions being carried on. I am sure there are many fans of the chuckwagon races in the eastern part of the province that are anxiously waiting for the races to begin and many who have heard of the races but have not attended any
of the events. If you have not attended an event, I encourage you to attend one of the many events this summer. They are interesting, exciting, rough and tough, with lots of things going on, adrenaline is high with one man, no ladies yet, trying to control about 5000 lbs. of horse power that have been bred to run and run hard. I would like to thank Karla White and Brad McMann for supplying info and data for this article.
