Stettler Town Council had some questions for Habitat for Humanity’s executive director Brian Brake at their regular meeting held Oct 18.

Brake had made a presentation to Stettler County Council last month which a couple of town councillors had attended. The

town requested that Brake attend a council meeting to provide more information about the housing Habitat constructs.

According to Brake, communities benefit from Habitat homes by addressing long term affordable housing needs.

Typically, a family will remain in a home for between five to seven years. When they move on, the home is sold back to Habitat

for use for a new family in need.

“Habitat homes remain a part of the community’s housing strategy forever.”

Duplexes or triplexes are the norm for Habitat homes with a typical unit being 1200 square feet.

“We don’t build single homes anymore,” stated Brake, owing to the need to maximize the use of a lot to house more families.

Generally, the land for a Habitat home is donated by the municipality or by private donors. The municipality also donates approximately $110,000 in cash or kind with the remainder coming from local and national donors.

“There are many different corporate sponsors that help us with the cost of that home.”

Harvest is slow in east central Alberta as over 50 per cent of the crops are still in the field. Don Stephenson grabs a few days/nights over this past weekend to get a start on his canola crop south of Coronation. He has approximately 600 of the 1000 acres he has left to harvest but light sprinkling of rain and heavy fog at the beginning of the week has stopped harvest again.

Major road repairs for Clive in 2017 Lisa Joy

ECA Review reporter The Village of Clive started planning for major road repairs in 2017.

Council, at its regular meeting Oct. 11, approved about $2,000 for survey work this fall for the 49 Ave. and 52 St. project, which is estimated to cost about $700,000 to $800,000.

“We want to do the survey work now,” said Clive Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Carla Kenney, adding that it’s cheaper to do the survey work before there’s snow on the ground.

Council, also at its Oct. 11 meeting, agreed to continue using Parkland Community Planning Services (PCPS) for another three years after the village’s contract expires April 2017.

The annual fee Clive pays to PCPS, however, will be reduced from $7,000 per year to $5,000 per year.

PCPS completed the village’s Community Sustainability Plan earlier this year and is currently working with the village on updating its Land Use Bylaw (LUB).

CAO Kenney, in her report to council, said administration continues to work on a draft of the updated LUB. The LUB is looking at Clive’s commercial and industrial districts and what types of businesses should be allowed in different areas of the village.

Post office in Clive

The Village of Clive doesn’t usually respond to union requests but agreed

to offer their support to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) by filling out a federal survey online.

“The village is committed to having a Canada Post office in our community,” said CAO Kenney. “We wanted to make sure that is recorded.”

More energy efficient

Clive council, at its regular meeting Oct. 24, agreed they want to be a part of Fortis’ proposal to convert street-

lights in communities to LED. Fortis will pay for the investment up front and recoup costs on customer bills through a separate maintenance item added.

The eventual energy savings will pay for the initial costs of the streetlights, said CAO Kenney.

Council duties

The Village of Clive plans to participate in a post election workshop in the

fall of 2017 in Blackfalds that is aimed at educating elected officials about their roles and responsibilities.

The Town of Blackfalds is planning the regional workshop after the next municipal election.

The province is making these types of workshops mandatory effective the 2017 councils being elected.

“We want to secure spots,” said CAO Kenney about the workshop.

Wheeled excavator bids come under budget Cont’d from Pg 1 Habitat began in 1985 in Canada and has since constructed 2800 homes, 25 per cent of those in Alberta.

Bids come under budget

The town received five bids to provide a wheeled excavator with attachments.

Melissa Robbins, Director of Operational Services, presented the information to council.

According to Robbins, of the five models submitted which were Hitachi, Volvo, John DeereBRRG;, Cat, Hyundai and Doosan, staff were provided with three test models. Only Volvo and Cat were unavailable for testing.

The Hitachi loader was the most expensive at $323,400 and the Doosan was the cheapest at $256,185.

After field testing the models and

considering the attachments included, the staff recommendation was to accept the $258,100 bid from C.E.M Heavy Equipment for the Hyundai model.

Council accepted the recommendation and also opted to purchase an additional five-year, 5000-hour full machine warranty for $8,390.

The total amount of $266,490, excluding tax, comes under the approved budget of $300,000.

Roof repairs approved

Despite following all the bidding protocols, such as newspaper advertising, the town received only one bid for the Stettler Community Hall Roof Replacement, explained CAO Greg Switenky.

The 20-year old structure requires several upgrades to the interior, exterior and the air conditioning system,

all to be completed in phases. Phase I includes a budget of $80,000 for new shingles.

Greg Boxma of Halkirk provided the town with a bid for either metal ribbed roof at $57,400 or asphalt shingles at $61,400.

Council awarded the bid to Boxma for the shingles option. They also approved that the remainder of the $80,000 go towards engineering costs for upgrading the air conditioning for the hall.

Council approves Parkland budget

Parkland Regional Library’s requisition of $46,213.92 from Stettler town for the 2017 budget was approved by council. The amount represents an overall two per cent increase, or $919.68, over last year’s requisition.

The per capita amount for 2017 goes to $8.04 from $7.88 in 2016.

ballots would be counted in council chambers out loud.

A motion by Coun. Blumhagen passed unanimously to post councillor time sheets on the county website each month “so it gives ratepayers a better idea of what we do.”

Coun. Dahmer at the same time raised the inequity between councillor wages where two councillors receive 40 per cent of the wages, three are average, and two councillors get only 10 per cent.

“It is quite a discrepancy,” said Dahmer.

The discrepancy lies in those councillors with the most wages sitting on committees that actively meet a lot more often compared to other committees that seldom, if ever, meet.

In the 2015 Financials Statements, Reeve Glazier’s wages totalled $36,633; Coun. Elliott $26,959; Coun.

Hewitt $22,874; Coun. Weber $22,792; Coun. Dahmer $20,076; Coun.

Blumhagen $19,491; and Coun.

Bunbury $19,082.

Tension in Morrin over agenda availability Tension was prevalent again at the regular Morrin council meeting on Wed. Oct. 19 when addressing a letter from resident, John Siemens asking council to approve the expenditure of $1 for the purpose of providing an agenda and the previous month’s minutes to people attending the meetings for the purpose of following along with the political process during the meetings.

He also requested that five copies be made available at the front desk for residents to pick up.

“Nope, you can pay the buck,” said Deputy Mayor David MacLeod. “We changed the by-law to suit you so it’s going to stay the same.”

Siemens, in the letter, also presented a second option that would not cost the village anything, by putting up a copy of the agenda and the minutes at no cost two days prior to the council meeting on a website, “Morrin Freedom of Information” web page which would be no expense for the village.

“There is no possible way,” stated Deputy Mayor David MacLeod adding, “my opinion, it [the website] is nothing but a personal blog.”

Sewer line troubles fixed

In new business, a letter from John Siemens was read concerning the sewer line troubles he has had since November 2014 until October 6, 2016.

Council disagreed with his statements in the letter regarding when the line was fixed, stating that the engineer’s report shows it was not fixed until Oct. 18.

Siemens indicated the new sewer line east of the sidewalk was attached to the ‘old’ sewer main on Oct. 5 stating in the letter he “no longer have to use my high pressure flush system. Our sewer for the first time in years has worked as it should.”

Siemens also noted in the letter that a Grayson Excavating employee on Oct. 5 told him the ‘sewer line on village property between the sidewalk and the sewer main had a belly in it and was collecting toilet tissue’.

Council denied that the sewer line had been fixed stating that the engineer’s report they had in front of them showed the sewer line was fixed on Oct. 18 - 19.

“We have the full report from the engineer,” said MacLeod, “so no work was completed on Oct. 6. I believe the

engineer any day.”

Siemens offered to show council the time/date stamped photos from Oct. 5 of the new sewer line but was denied the opportunity.

“Anymore outbursts we’ll have to ask you to leave,” interrupted MacLeod.

The ECA Review was not provided with the engineer’s report as per request by email to the Village office on Thurs. Oct. 20.

In an interview following the meeting with the ECA Review, Siemens confirmed that on Oct. 18 or 19, Grayson Engineering then dug up the sewer line under the sidewalk west to his property line which had not been dug up on Oct. 5 and replaced the entire sewer line from the edge of his property to the ‘new’ sewer main.

Siemens has since sent his photos to the village office.

Council to meet with Lion’s

The Morrin Lion’s Club asked in a letter to council if the village had any projects in mind mentioning ideas they had for the old tennis courts,

possibly replacing them with sand for beach volleyball.

Council decided to meet with the Lion’s Club to discuss some ideas.

Council also agreed to the annual sponsorship for the Legion book.

Bronze medal

Coun. congratulated Coun. Al Bremer on his ‘bronze medal’ win in the Alberta Seniors 55+ Snooker competition held in Drumheller on Sept. 29 - Oct. 1.

BASHAW COUNCIL

Drainage solutions complicated Lisa Joy

ECA Review reporter The new school in Bashaw seems to have created a drainage issue for a nearby house and council is struggling to find a solution.

The way that the school is built, rain water now runs into the nearby house, which was built in about 1942. Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Theresa Fuller said the town doesn’t know if the house was built before the culvert or the culvert constructed before the house, adding that standards were different then than they are today.

“We have a culvert draining into

residential property,” said CAO Fuller.

“It’s not acceptable.”

But she acknowledged there are limitations how the town can address the situation. The culvert can’t be moved because that would only move the problem onto another property owner’s land, she said.

“We have minimal solutions at this time.”

Brian Boutin, who was scheduled to give a presentation at the Oct. 20 council meeting but then declined, said all the water near the school is going into the drain and into his mother’s property.

Appreciation dinner ‘Octoberfest’ style

by Jamie Geddes The Battle River Research Group (BRRG) hosted a farmer’s appreciation dinner “Octoberfest” style in Galahad on Sat., Oct. 22 at the Galahad Agriplex.

The Battle River Research Group (BBRG) is a non- profit grassroots organization that focuses on independent agricultural research, management and stewardship of agriculture interests in east-central Alberta.

They offer integrated support through partnerships within the industry, the producers, and government.

They provide industry related seminars and events for their membership base.

Doreen Blumhagen; vicepresident of the BBRG, suggested hosting a farmer appreciation night and Martina Alder, Assistant Extension Environmental Co-ordinator suggested an Octoberfest theme and voila or “gefunden” the first official BBRG Octoberfest in Galahad became reality.

Nothing says Octoberfest like accordion music, good German food, and beerwell the BBRG delivered!

The hall was decorated in a blue and white checked Bavarian theme as the aroma of sausage and sauerkraut saturated the air and German folk music played in the background.

Sean Willms of Norsemen Brewing Co. from Camrose and Bruce Anderson of Ribstone Creek Brewery from Edgerton offered free samples of their award winning craft beer throughout the evening.

Blair Kuefler, a BBRG board member donated red and white wine.

On the menu

was stump pot, spätzle, bratwurst and farmer sausages, sauerkraut and root vegetables.

It was followed by black forest cake and apple strudel for dessert. Rudi Koller; a charismatic man from Penhold provided the

evening’s entertainment.

Koller emigrated from Weinfelden, Switzerland over a decade ago and is proprietor of Rocky Mountain Meats.

He is a master butcher with some extraordinary entertain

ment skills.

Koller was dressed in lederhosen as he entertained with his accordion.

He played some games and dances that required audience participation.

by B. Schimke Alberta still has many climate change deniers and writing a column in support of the carbon tax is likely dangerous to my wellbeing. But the reality is even if we don’t believe in global warming the majority of Canadians and most of the world do believe global warming is the number one threat to our planet. We just can’t continue to think “they’re stupid and we’re right”.

Suncor, the largest operator in the oil sands, has supported a broad-based price on carbon for years. They see it as an important tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change. Alberta’s riches have declined for two reasons, over supply of oil internationally and our inability to address climate change.

“

Alberta has chosen to use the funds for research and development of emissions-lowering technologies

“

While the Canadian and provincial governments were dithering and denying climate change, the world moved past. In Alberta it’s understandable after decades of being spoiled with quick profits and huge pay cheques from fossil fuels. Sure global warming will have less direct effect on Alberta and Saskatchewan because we’re far away from oceans lapping off significant portions of our land. And from an agricultural perspective, Alberta and Saskatchewan will actually benefit from global warming as the climate conditions should allow the number one cash crop in the world, corn, to be grown extensively on the prairies.

But, again we’re not alone in this world and it’s not all about us.

What a difference it would have made if we had been proactive on climate change 15 years ago, as was Germany. Instead we gained the reputation of world slackers when we opted out of the Kyoto accord and the federal government starting gutting environmental legislation to facilitate pipeline construction.

Our timing was impeccably bad.

Fractioning in the United States made it energy-self-sufficient; China couldn’t keep up their torrid economic pace and the science of climate change was being accepted by the majority of the world’s population, because it was affecting their lives adversely.

Today, Germany powers virtually all its domestic needs with low or noncarbon emissions technology. Yet they continue selling coal to less wealthy, developing countries who cannot yet

afford to move away from fossil fuels.

The Germans acted on the seismic shift that was coming and they and other European countries are now leading the way into the new energy world. It’s like we never learned any lessons from the arrival of the combustion engine and the resultant Industrial Revolution. No one has ever argued that fossil fuel won’t continue to be a major power source for decades to come, it’s just we’ve ran out of time to continue to do nothing for the future.

The carbon tax will generate a significant amount of money and contrary to what some Premiers say, all the money goes back to the provincial governments. Alberta has chosen to use the funds for research and development of emissions-lowering technologies; looking to build jobs for the future. Saskatchewan can use their carbon taxes to lower taxes if that’s their choice.

Trudeau was right to force the hand of the provinces. At least three, perhaps four provinces would have continued to avoid real CO2 emission reductions. A national carbon tax also levels the playing field between provinces.

Since all climate agreements are between national governments, it is most appropriate that our federal government set the guidelines, giving provinces flexibility but not abdication rights.

And please, let’s not believe that we the people haven’t paid industry before to do research and development. Both the federal and provincial governments have poured millions of dollars over the last 55 years into research and new technology development to enable our oil sands industry to be where it is today. Don’t think that we the taxpayers haven’t bailed out companies either. I was at Syncrude during the late 1970s and it was our two levels of government that were solely responsible for saving Syncrude. The consortium had lost one major partner and the rest weren’t prepared to carry on and bear the extra risk. Today no one could deny that our governments’ decisions to invest in Syncrude in the 1970s was a great one.

The same will happen with the carbon tax. It will be used to motivate the oil and gas industry to engage in research and development for new and better non-carbon emission options and/or continue to improve emission controls and processes for our carbonbased industry.

And lastly, the carbon tax will show the world that Canada is prepared to pony up and do our part to reduce greenhouse gases. And that surely will go much further in securing pipelines and moving our oil sands’ output to markets than our denial and ignore strategies of the last 15 years.

PRAIRIEVIEW

Much less democratic than present system

by Herman Schwenk Well I’m back for a couple of issues at least.

I know some of you were disappointed that I wasn’t submitting columns during the summer. I’ve got to the age where I can’t concentrate on two or more activities at once.

During the summer I am busy with my garden and yard work every day and haven’t the time or inclination to think about issues for a column.

Schwenk In the Oct. 6 issue of the ECA Review there was a letter to the editor from Frank VanderKley of Trochu, Ab. on how he thinks we should change the way we would elect our MP’s in the future. He claims that the process would be more democratic than our ‘first past the post system’.

The system he proposes, in my mind, would be much less democratic than our present system and I will explain why.

With our present system of electing MP’s, they are accountable to the people in their constituency and once elected they are representing all the people in that constituency, not just the ones that voted for them.

There has been a lot of debate for the past few years about our unelected senators. They are not accountable to the people that they are supposed to represent. They are only accountable to the prime minister who appoints them.

Vanderkley’s proposal for electing MP’s would be even worse. There would be absolutely no connection between the MP and the people that he or she is supposed to represent.

You would simply be voting for a party and God knows what kind of screwballs the party would be appointing as MP’s.

For an MP to effectively represent his or her constituents they need to have some kind of personal relation-

ship with their constituents.

With our present ‘first past the post system’ a person has to go through a double process to become an MP. They first have to contest a nomination process by members of the party that they will represent in the election to be a candidate.

Secondly they will have to convince more electors in their constituency than the candidates from the other parties that they are the best person to represent them in government when the election is called.

Once elected an MP is responsible and accountable to represent the concerns of all the people in their constituency, not just the concerns of the people who voted for them.

Every MP has one or more offices that are available for constituents to discuss their concerns or issues with that MP. With the system that is proposed by VanderKley, voters would not have any connection with an MP and I think the MP couldn’t care less what the people think. His or her main responsibility is to represent the position of the party that they were appointed by.

What VanderKley is proposing is a system that is similar to what most of the European countries have. Anyone who is paying attention will soon realize that many of those countries are basket cases such as Greece or Spain, or are outright dictatorships like they have in Russia right now.

Is this the kind of Government we want in Canada? I think not.

I am not suggesting that the system we have now isn’t perfect. But there are ways to fix it without throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I agree, even with our present system, parties and leaders have too much control over their MP’s.

The MP’s could override their leaders and fix the system by forcing legislation through that would give themselves more authority if they would just agree to do it.

Greenfeed under snow: what to do now?

Agri-News With the early snow, many acres of annual crops grown for greenfeed are still in the field.

Barry Yaremcio, beef/forage specialist at the Ag-Info Centre, speaks to producer concerns about the wetter greenfeed, should temperatures warm up and the snow melt, and the tough or damp greenfeed is baled.

Bales containing 18 to 20 per cent moisture (or higher) have the potential to heat, and some of the sugars will be used by the microbes during the heating process.

“This will reduce the energy content available to the animals,” says Yaremcio.

If temperatures within the bale get above 40 oC, the bales will smell sweet or like tobacco, and the colour can change to dark brown or black. When this happens, some of the protein will be tied to the fibre and not available to the animals.

If this occurs, Yaremcio recommends requesting an Acid Detergent Insoluble Nitrogen (ADIN) or ADIP (protein) test in addition to the regular feed analysis, and to use the adjusted lower protein value when formulating rations.

Molds can also develop in bales with higher moisture, and can result in a loss of quality and possible feed refusal.

“If mold is present, bales should not be fed through a bale processor but rather rolled out,” says Yaremcio.

“This will allow the cows to sort through the greenfeed and let them waste the material that is contami-

nated with mold.”

Forcing cows to eat 5 per cent moldy feed can possibly reduce the digestibility of the ration by 10 per cent.

Nitrate in greenfeed is another concern, and it could be present if the crop had significant amounts of nitrogen fertilizer or manure applied this spring or last fall.

“If the crop was cut three to five days after a light frost and the field was well fertilized, this creates conditions favorable for nitrate accumulation in the plant,” says Yaremcio.

When bales heat, nitrate can be converted to nitrite (the same first step that occurs in the rumen), making the nitrite 10 times more toxic to the animal compared to nitrate.

Yaremcio says a telltale sign of heating and possible nitrate-to-nitrite conversion is if the bales have slumped and lost normal shape. He recommends testing for both nitrates and nitrites in this situation.

Yaremcio also advises against making chop or bale silage out of greenfeed that has been cut for two weeks or longer.

This is because aerobic bacteria have established themselves in the swath, and outcompete the anaerobic bacteria that develop during the ensiling process. White mold can form and nutrient losses also occur.

It is also difficult to make good quality silage with material that has been exposed to the weather.

One option available to help counter mold growth and heating is applying the appropriate amount of buffered propionic or formic acid to higher

moisture greenfeed.

These products could allow baling at four to five per cent higher-thannormal. However, moisture levels remain higher-than-recommended, and these bales should be fed out as quickly as possible.

Bacteria cannot develop when temperatures are below 0 oC, so one possible option is to bale the greenfeed when temperatures remain below zero. Nevertheless, this method also has risks because the time available for baling before the crop is completely snowed under may be very short.

Surprisingly, producers should heed higher moisture bales as possible fire hazards.

“They should not be stacked into pyramid piles or under a hay shed, because if the bales start to heat, temperatures could get high enough to

cause spontaneous combustion,” says Yaremcio.

“Hay or greenfeed fires are entirely possible.”

Unpaid taxes bylaw approved

Bashaw council, at its regular meeting Oct. 20, gave third and final reading to a bylaw allowing council to roll unpaid tax balances to the owner of a trailer park.

The bylaw was generated after the town made several unsuccessful attempts to get tax assessment information from a local trailer park owner. This gives the town a tool to follow through with tax recovery procedures if necessary.

The Municipal Government Act (MGA) requires owners of trailer parks to provide monthly reports to the CAO regarding ownership of trailers, serial numbers, year, make, size and movement of trailers coming in and out of the park.

The last listing the town has from the trailer park owner was from 2012.

LACOMBE COUNTY

No support for Library budget Lisa Joy

ECA Review reporter Lacombe County council voted against supporting Parkland Regional Library’s (PRL) proposed two per cent increase for its $3.3 million 2017 budget.

Lacombe County’s membership fees for 2017 are $82,908, which represents about $8.04 per resident. Lacombe County’s membership fees were $7.88 per capita in 2016.

Eleven of the 17 member municipalities approved PRL’s proposed two per cent budget increase and six haven’t, Tim Timmons, Manager of Corporate Services told Lacombe County Council during its regular meeting Oct. 13.

Coun. Rod McDermand said he didn’t agree with the two per cent overall budget increase saying, “I struggle with this.”

Coun. Dana Kreil said, “Some (municipalities) are feeling that is too much. It’s been fairly debated.”

Council unanimously voted against PRL’s proposed budget increase and will advise PRL board that the county supports a zero per cent increase to the board’s per capita rate for its 2017 budget.

All member municipalities must vote on the budget and it takes twothirds membership for the PRL budget to be approved. PRL serves 49 libraries across Central Alberta.

Avoids setting precedent

Lacombe County will get the message out to its ratepayers that they can help sponsor the Lacombe arena project but they want it made clear they aren’t driving the initiative.

The City of Lacombe sent out letters from the mayor to residents and businesses soliciting arena sponsorship and asked Lacombe County to do the same.

Coun. Brenda Knight said she would support the county notifying its residents of the opportunity but wouldn’t support a letter from the county promoting the sponsorship opportunities.

“This is a City of Lacombe fundraising initiative. The Clive Hall comes to my mind. Are we going to send letters out for the Clive Hall? We asked them (Clive Hall) to fundraise and I don’t see this as any different. I really don’t feel we should be sending solicitation letters to people.”

Likewise Coun. Keith Stephenson agreed.

“Sylvan Lake had a sponsorship committee that did this and I don’t think Lacombe County should get involved in this.”

Coun. Barb Shepherd said the suggestion of the county sending out letters stating, “Lacombe County invites you to become part of a really big deal by contributing to the renovations at the (Lacombe sportsplex)” was too bold.

“I feel like it is a little bit in your face.”

Coun. Ken Wigmore questioned the fairness of Lacombe County’s involvement.

“Are we going to get involved in fundraising with the rest of the communities when they want a project?”

He added that he’s not against the City of Lacombe canvassing Lacombe County residents for donations, but said he preferred to see the county’s support be limited to allowing the city

Clearview Public Schools

Requires a CASTOR SCHOOL BUS DRIVER Competition #5686

to use the county to get information out to county residents.

“We support this but it’s the City of Lacombe that is canvassing for the money, not us.”

Coun. Wigmore added that if the county solicited for the city they could end up getting Blackfalds making similar requests.

Coun. Dana Kreil said if the county sent out letters on behalf of the city, this could open up requests from other arenas in the county.

Reeve Paula Law said the point is to let Lacombe County residents know that they can be a part of the arena sponsorship. “They have an opportunity to donate if they wish. Yes it should be the city driving this.”

Lacombe County council agreed to support the city-driven initiative through the County News, on the Lacombe County website/social media, and by setting up a lobby display.

RCMP

Identity of fire victim confirmed The RCMP’s Major Crimes Unit from Red Deer and members of the Bashaw RCMP Detachment obtained confirmation of the identity of the victim who died when a fire swept through the Bashaw Motor Inn on Sunday, October 9, 2016. The body of 54-year-old Barinder Singh Tiwana was identified through the use of DNA during the course of an autopsy and subsequent testing at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Calgary.

The scene of the fire has been released by investigators, however, the police work is far from over as the investigation ongoing.
