GRANTING GUIDELINES FOR 2014

Council discusses ATCO agreement Katie Davis News Reporter

First reading was administered to an application for rezoning at the Town of Stettler council meeting on January 7, 2013. Intentions for this parcel of land, in a predominantly industrial zone at the corner of 42 Street and Highway 56, was outlined in the request to “rezone… from UR: Urban Reserve to I: Industrial for the development of light industrial manufacturing,” and stated there would be compliance with a Development Agreement to address offsite levy payment, utility servicing, access/exit of properties, lot sizes/location and grading and environmental reserve and road dedications.

Electric agreement

Council discussed the ATCO Electric Franchise Agreement renewal, as the current agreement with the company expires May 31 after a 10 year period.

A memorandum provided to the town indicated a few changes in the agreement.

How the fee is calculated when paid had changed from 7.5 per cent and building, land and linear property tax inclusive to 6.1 per cent plus a “separate payment for taxes,” which will be revenue neutral. The

fee could be raised by the town to a maximum of 20 per cent.

The document also outlined that “In the new agreement all new or relocated street lights… will be based on ATCO investing in such” and improved reporting on core services.

The new arrangements were spoke to favourably by CAO Rob Stoutenberg, who noted that only four municipalities in the province have the arrangement with ATCO. “Sometime in the future this favourable situation might not be there,” he noted on the agreement.

CAO report

CAO Stoutenberg gave a synopsis of his activities in the month of December, 2013.

Notably, Stoutenberg coordinated the Town of Stettler long-service awards, wherein nine staff received awards for service exceeding 20 years; two individuals received five-year service awards, and one 15-year award was presented. He noted of interest that of 47 full-time employees, 50 per cent currently have less than five years service.

Stoutenberg also noted that he assisted with a charity event which filled a half-ton truck with food and raised $2,000 for the Stettler Skate Park.

RURAL WATER TREATMENT (Province Wide)

Discussion item

Councillor Cook brought up snow removal on town parks, along the water tower park and sidewalks, noting that a piling up of snow and certain areas left snow covered make transit by foot and vehicle difficult in certain parts of town. It was also noted that there was a large pile of snow being built up by the tower park.

“The entrances into town aren’t done, neither are the streets coming into the core on the main drag,” Cook said. “The core needs to be opened up right out to the highway.”

CAO Kulyk noted that public works procedure was typically one street, one pass, to ensure that all snow is removed at once to reduce the chance of packing or having the piles driven over.

Kulyk noted that road priorities at present is a single written sentence and is not yet a broader policy. She said building upon the discussion item and elaboration would need to be implemented to construct a productive road priority policy.

Dear Editor, iPhones - I hate them. We have a whole era of extreme rudeness because of them.

When did it become acceptable to ignore all the real live people around you to talk to or worse text someone else?

Kids used to gather to play or talk to each other. Now you will see them on their $#$#$# iPhones, oblivious to anyone else. How rude!!!

Parents give kids these phones and this easy access is where bullying starts in a lot of cases.

It’s not just kids either. Next time you are in a restaurant look around: most of

LEGISLATURE

It isn’t broken, don’t fix it

by Bruce Rowe, MLA OldsDidsbury-Three Hills and Wildrose Service Alberta Critic.

The government’s recent musings about selling off Alberta’s Land Titles registry system to the highest bidder should have all landowners and taxpayers concerned.

Former Service Alberta Minister Manmeet Bhullar says the department is open to exploring privatization to make capital improvement expenses.

According to the Minister, the cost of modernizing is pegged around $29 million.

With Alberta well into its sixth year of deficit budgets and now accruing debt, asking the private sector to pick up these expenses would seem like a shrewd move but sadly it is nothing but short sighted.

Currently, Alberta’s Land Title System is actually generating revenue. Last year alone, it created $69 million in profit for the Government of Alberta.

Certainly, prioritizing spending and reinvesting a portion of this revenue to maintain a world class system should not be an obstacle.

As a member of the Wildrose we are in favour of exploring where the private sector can meet the public’s demand for services and limit government’s involvement.

However, when it comes to the Land Titles system, it is a monopoly for the creation, transfer and extinguishment of real property interests.

To grant this monopoly to a private enterprise would be to hold government captive to the

private holder of the monopoly and would work against the private economic interests of land owners, the province and taxpayers.

Simply put, selling our Land Title’s registry to a private interest to operate as a monopoly is not how we deliver good public services.

If we look at other jurisdictions in Canada, we see that privatization has had mixed results.

In Ontario, an agreement has been in place with Teranet since 1991. Along with unexpected challenges with changes in the system, Ontario now charges $20 for accessing information online. The charge in most provinces, including Alberta, is $0.

In fact, Land Title fees in Alberta remain the least expensive in Canada.

In November, Minister Bhullar called Alberta’s registry the “gold standard” and his own Deputy Minister agreed calling the system darn near perfect.

The Wildrose Party believe in common sense and if a program isn’t broke, don’t fix it.

It is our Party’s hope that in the coming months new Service Alberta Minister Doug Griffiths backs off from their plan to sell off landowners’ interests to the highest bidder.

The first case of avian influenza in Canada was confirmed in Alberta after an individual passed away from the virus, according to a Government of Alberta press release received on Wednesday, January 8.

The release indicated that results received from the provincial laboratory on Monday, January 6 and confirmed by the National Microbiology Laboratory on Tuesday, January 7 indicated an Albertan has died from H5N1 avian influenza.

The individual in question travelled to China in December. The individual returned to Alberta and was admitted to hospital on January 1, ultimately passing away on January 3.

Health Minister Fred Horne expressed his condolences to the family and thanked AHS health care workers and the Chief Medical Officer of Health for their quick response.

“Avian influenza is not easily transmitted from person to person.

It is not the same virus that is currently present in seasonal influenza in Alberta,” Talbot said.

“Public health has followed up with all close contacts of this individual and offered Tamiflu as a precaution. None of them have symptoms and the risk of developing symptoms is extremely low.”

In 2013, there were 38 cases of H5N1 avian influenza reported world-wide to the World Health Organization and 24 deaths.

by BJ Avramenko The Redcore Enterprises Storm took on icy roads and the Pierceland Panthers in a battle across the border on Saturday, January 4.

Stettler got on the board less than seven minutes in when Kierra Scollo set Kelsie Litke up for the first goal of the game. Stettler scored again at 5:42 of the first when Miranda Storch and Kelsie Litke combined to set up Kierra Scollo.

Scollo scored her second of the period banging in a rebound on a shot taken by Morgan Van Dusen, giving the Storm a 3 - 0 lead at the end of one.

In the second period Geri Slemp added to the lead, Jessie Anderson and Morgan Van Dusen got the helpers.

In the third period Pierceland finally got on the board when Krysta Warrington took advantage of a Stettler defensive breakdown, scoring in a two on one.

Late in the period with Stettler on the power play Makayla Peters and Jayden Hogg set Harlee Avramenko up for the final goal of the game.

Lindsay McKinnon got the win in a 5 - 1 final.

SLAP SHOTS

Great support for Team Canada

by Bruce Penton We don’t know who will win the gold medal in men’s hockey at Sochi, Russia, in February, but we do know that the selection committee made terrible mistakes Jan. 7 when the team was announced.

How do we know? Thousands of people — hockey fans from Newfoundland to B.C., hockey analysts on every sports network in the country, some players who felt they got shafted by not having their name called and even the president of the social committee at a nursing home in Gimli, Man. — said Steve Yzerman and the Team Canada braintrust made some horrible personnel goofs.

No matter what happens at the Olympics, the Canadian critics will be out in full force.

If Canada’s team doesn’t advance to the medal round, Yzerman may as well stay in Russia and apply for political asylum.

If Canada makes the playoff round but wins a medal with either a silver or bronze tinge to it, Yzerman will be allowed back into his home country, but he will be stripped of his Team Canada duties and Canadians will be invited to throw eggs at his house for the next 12 months.

If Canada wins gold, say 7-3 over Russia in the final, the critics will say had Martin St. Louis been chosen for the team instead of Chris Kunitz, or had Carey Price started in goal instead of Roberto Luongo, our country’s hockey image would have been enhanced far brighter with a six- or seven-goal victory — not a mere four.

In other words, nothing but gold — and impressive victories throughout the tournament — will vindicate Yzerman, Kevin Lowe, Mike Babcock and the others who made the difficult final choices on the Team Canada roster.

Canada’s situation centres around our country’s dominance in the sport. A 25-player roster was needed, but Canada has 40 or 50 potential Olympians. Our Reject Team could probably win an Olympic medal. But such is the state of hockey in Canada, similar to the Americans’ Dream Team in basketball.

Fans of both those teams will promise undying faith and support, win or tie.

Perish the thought that Canada doesn’t win gold. All those post-selection vultures will be hovering over the carcass, eager to start pecking.

Talk about pressure!

Good question, Paula! Cold fronts and warm fronts are something meteorologists – scientists who study the weather – watch to make predictions about the weather.

I’m puzzled, Dr. Cicle.

What are cold fronts and warm fronts?

Oh no! A cold wind blew my display about weather fronts all apart!

Luckily, I numbered each sentence. Do the math problem on each piece.

Then use the answers to put the sentences in order from the smallest number to the largest.

Discovering How Hypnosis Can End The Suffering . . .

Hypnosis, when applied can help resolve & comfort an infinite list of ailments, concerns or issues. If you are curious whether hypnosis can help you...the answer is most definitely YES!

Depressed I felt alone and depressed. I allowed myself to

feel let down by what my people said to me. I felt everything was my fault. I felt like I had to be careful of everything I said. I feared rejection all the time. Now, I realize I am a strong independent person. I can stand up for myself. My opinion matters. I can make my own choices. As a bonus from hypnosis I am able to drive in the winter without fear. I am able to feel good about myself without guilt and I don’t hide from everyone.

Hypnosis has brought me back to the person I used to be before. I let all of life’s hurts affect me.

Hypnosis has helped me take down all the walls that used to surround me. ~Jeanette P, Drumheller

Anxiety Before hypnosis I had NO positive thoughts. I

always worried about what people were thinking.

I also had no energy. Hypnosis has allowed me to be more positive, more calm, more motivated and ready to take on life! As a result I am starting to lose weight. Hypnosis definitely has changed my outlook on life. I am more confident. ~Kathy, Castor

Weight I have reduced my weight by 40 pounds in 4 months

with Hypnosis for Health and Happiness. Hypnosis is easy and effective. ~Patricia, Edmonton

Fertility Of course my main goal throughout this process

was to become pregnant but what I didn’t realize was how much I would benefit in my everyday life as well. Through the techniques in the Mind-Body Fertility Connection Program I am able to apply a lot of what I have learned to other life situations. It is a process but, I am learning that it is okay not to be perfect all the time or to have every answer to every question or to control everything that comes my way. I am learning to be relaxed, confident and to take things in stride. I have become more positive in general and I believe that is really helping my anxiety during my pregnancy. I plan on continuing to use these techniques to help me as I go through life and encounter all types of situations, good or bad. ~Rehana G, Edmonton

Fear Petrified of Heights…that was me! I’d be paralyzed, not able to look over a second story balcony. On the second rung of a ladder I was breathing hard and shaking with pain in my brain.

Thanks to hypnosis I can paint on a ladder without batting an eye. My biggest accomplishment; being over 30 and learning to downhill ski!!

I was also able to ride a gondola without fear. ~Rhonda, Castor

Weight Before hypnosis I was overweight,

slightly depressed and lacking self-esteem. With hypnosis I have taken off weight gradually and as a result I’m gaining self-esteem and happiness. I feel better, thus I exercise more and don’t suffer from shortness of breath. I am amazed at how easy it is and how well hypnosis works. ~Kay K, Hanna

Pain My experience with hypnosis has

been amazing. I was experiencing terrible migraines that doctors could not figure out the cause of.

I was given heavy painkillers, but they made it hard to stay working.

Hypnosis has made it possible for me to be completely drug free and has given me the tools to cope with pain when it does happen. Hypnosis has truly given me my life back and made me feel like a normal 21 year old again. ~Jill, Calgary

Sleep I found the first thing that hypnosis

helped with was my sleeping. I had trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. Now all I can say is “where have you been?”, now I feel great and I can sleep all night. ~ Shirley E, Castor

Childbirth I am so happy that we had the

opportunity to use Hypnobabies for the birth of our first child, especially being so far from a larger center where it would normally be offered.

It allowed us to be confident about the birthing process with all the knowledge we gained and taught us to approach childbirth with a positive attitude. I was able to remain calm during my contractions with the use of hypnosis and we were able to stay home much longer than we thought was possible. Hypnobabies empowered my husband throughout our birthing time and he stayed by my side at all times, giving me the support that I needed. I was able to deliver drug-free and felt fantastic right after our baby was born. I plan on using Hypnobabies for any of our future children and would recommend it to anyone that was planning on having kids. Thank-you Trisha and Hypnobabies for the tools for a wonderful and memorable birth experience!

- Teri, Castor

Weight & Sleep Before hypnosis I suffered from irregular sleep and emotional eating.

Hypnosis has improved my life by helping me relax and to see myself better. My health is restoring and I remember to love myself. ~Sandra, Cereal

I used food for comfort and soothing and as a result I mindlessly ate myself into a 75 pound weight gain over 10 years. Hypnosis has given me a tool I can turn to daily especially in times when things start to waiver whether it is for attaining a healthy weight or less stress at work. I am also sleeping better. If you make a plan, hypnosis will help you work it. ~Bev, Castor
