Alix council agrees to meet with Arena Association Lisa Joy
ECA Review Reporter The Alix Arena Association will get the meeting they want with village council to hammer out who pays for arena maintenance and improvements. Village council agreed at its Jan. 6 meeting, to meet with the association. The rental agreement was signed in 1999 and it’s time to look at it, said Coun. Jody Widmann. The arena association told council in a letter that while making improvements to the arena they discovered more work is needed. But before they proceed they want to meet with council to see which improvements would be the responsibility of the village and which would be the responsibility of the Arena Association. Village of Alix Mayor Arlene Nelson
suggested council schedule a separate meeting to meet with the Arena Association. “We can go to them instead of them coming here (council chambers),” she said.Council unanimously agreed to a motion having administration set up a meeting with council and the arena association.
Council denies Medicine River’s request for funding
Medicine River Wildlife Centre (MRWC) asked council to consider help funding their non-profit organization in its next budget. Carol Kelly, executive director of MRWC, said that in the last year one per cent of the wildlife that MRWC treated were transported from the Village of Alix. MRWC is a wildlife hospital and education centre located half an hour west
of Innisfail and provides a wide range of services. They started in 1984 helping 14 animals and today they help about 2,000 wild animals a year. In her letter to council, Kelly said the money would be used to cover the costs of staff, vehicle and other expenses incurred while responding to community calls and programs. Village of Alix Mayor Arlene Nelson said if Alix was a bigger centre they may be able to help. “Are we in agreement that we are not in a financial position to support these people,” asked Mayor Nelson during council’s regular meeting Jan. 6. Council unanimously voted not to offer financial support to MRWC.

Long-serving Hughenden School librarian retires Teresa Motley, the Hughenden school librarian will retire this school year after 44 years. Motley started working at the Hughenden Public School (HPS) in 1972 as an instructional assistant however after two years of service added librarian to her role and successfully balanced both duties for the next 42 years. When asked about her retirement, Motley said that she “will miss the students and trying to find books they would enjoy as well as visiting with staff”. Motley said she also enjoyed checking books in and out, finding new books that students would love, preparing new materials for use in the library and checking for available accelerated reader quizzes. During an interview with HPS students she said that one of her favourite memories while working at HPS was having a new library to setup and organize following the modernization of the school, and of course reading to her grandchildren once they started attending HPS. Motley’s retirement plans include relaxing and travelling as well as spending time with her family.

‘Pawsitive reinforcement
“Pawsitives” were created to recognize and reward students who have demonstrated positive behaviour and good deeds throughout the school. Pawsitives are paw-shaped papers on which the name of a student and the specific positive action for which that student is being acknowledged for is written. They are
awarded by a staff member who has noticed a positive behaviour. The paws are entered into a draw and at the end of the month two paws are drawn for the purpose of awarding students with a prize. by Kjersti Congdon, Maddie Long, Berit Cuthbert, Ethan Dambrowsky, Layne Motley, Lucy Lee, Erin Johnson and Chloe Sayer

Stettler families have more support in New Year Debra Johnston
ECA Review Reporter Stettler Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) has more room to breathe in 2016 thanks to an increase in provincial funding. Stettler town council approved the 2016 FCSS budget at their Jan. 5 meeting following a presentation by FCSS Executive Director Shelley Walker. This year’s budget as presented comes to $397,436 of which the town’s contribution is $36,013. The remainder is split between the County’s contribution of $38,086 and the provincial portion of $323,337. As CAO Greg Switenky pointed out, the province has committed to an additional 10 per cent increase to FCSS on top of the original 10 per cent increase in mid-2015, but has not indicated that municipalities must match the increase. If the town matches the amount, their portion would be $39,000 by 2017. The total budget would be approximately $401,000 according to Walker. “We’ll be happy to match the increase,” declared Mayor Richards. “It’s amazing how many lives that place touches.”
Busy 2016
Stettler Board of Trade (BOT) had a successful 2015 according to Board of Trade Executive Director Stacey Benjamin and Board President Matt Dorsett in a 2016 budget presentation to council. A number of ongoing projects, places or plans netted profits, saw an increase in usage, or met BOT goals Stettler Trade Show netted a profit of $21,395 while the Pheasant Festival netted over $14,000 for a total of $28,000 over its two years of operation. Use of the visitor information centre increased by 40 per cent and the Physician Recruitment Program welcomed four doctors to Stettler clinics. 2016 looks to be an equally ambitious year for the BOT as the Destination Stettler website embarks on its first full year. The new Stettler town float has an increased schedule for parades. As well, the BOT is actively promoting yearly events like the Pheasant Festival, Steel Wheel Stampede and several other community events. BOT has amalgamated with the Downtown Business Association (DBA) and will be promoting DBA events like The Night Before the Night Before. Council approved the town’s contribution of $246,172 to the BOT budget. The total budget for the year is $472,932.

A motor vehicle collision near Halkirk leaves Castor’s Gus Wetter school Principal Daram Van Oers and his daughter in hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries on the foggy morning of Jan. 6. ECA Review/Submitted
Collision sends two to hospital A motor vehicle collision near Halkirk lon Wed. Jan. 6 leaves Castor School Principal Daram Van Oers and his daughter in hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries, stated Cst. MacIntyre in a recent interview. The Van Oers’ dark blue passenger truck struck the rear end of an unloaded flatbed trailer being hauled by a tractor just after 8 a.m. on Wed. Jan. 6, on Hwy 12 approximately five kilometres west of Halkirk, Ab. Coronation RCMP, the Halkirk and Castor fire departments and Castor EMS were on scene at the collision. Castor EMS transported the two
occupants of the truck to hospital for further medical treatment. Both the driver and the passenger of the truck remain in hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the tractor trailer was not injured. Road conditions are not believed to be a factor, however at the time of the accident there was poor visibility in the area due to fog. An RCMP Collision Analyst attended the scene and the cause of the collision is still under investigation at this time. The ECA Review was unable to gain an update on the medical
Bashaw approves wage increase Lisa Joy
ECA Review reporter The Town of Bashaw council unanimously voted in favour of giving staff a three per cent cost of living increase in wages for 2016. In 2015 about $461,000 was paid out for staff wages and it’s expected about $500,000 will be paid in 2016. Bashaw will pay about an extra $40,000 a year in wages this year because of the cost of living increase and additional staff. Coun. Darren Pearson said he was in favour of the increase and said it was acceptable. The item was a late addition and added to the agenda at the beginning of the Jan. 7 council meeting. The wages don’t include the honorarium that is paid to firefighters.

Accrual and changing inventory value Agri-News When it comes to doing an accrual, an Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) specialist says it’s important to remember that a change in value for an inventory item can have a dramatic effect in calculating the accrual adjustments. As an example, if you have 500 cows with a value of $2,000 each on Dec 31, 2014, and then with the rising livestock prices the value is increased to $2,500 each at the end of 2015, there would be an accrued gain due to inventory valuation increase of $250,000. Conversely if the value of those cows was $2,500 at the end of 2014 and were valued back at $2,200 each at the end of 2015 for whatever reason, the adjustment would show a loss of $150,000 due strictly to the drop in value. “This issue is most prevalent when valuing the breeding stock,” says Rick Dehod, agriculture farm financial specialist, AF, Edmonton.
“Although this could easily be the real case, the farmer who just carried on with no other changes would show large fluctuations in accrued income due only to this adjustment. “If a historical review is being done, it might be more meaningful to record the per unit value of breeding stock the same each year so as not to adversely affect the accrued income calculation. “The income would still include an appropriate adjustment for a change in numbers of breeding stock.” This may also be applicable to other inventories such as feeds or grains but normally has less of an effect, says Dehod. “If you do not have the actual market values of the commodities you can record an average value each year for the specific commodity and then again, the accrual adjustment will only be affected by the volume of product.”

PRAIRIEVIEW
Bureaucrats overjoyed, our worst nightmare by Herman Schwenk In last week’s column I described some of the issues that I have encountered with the bureaucracy in the Alberta government. I think the first thing we need to understand is that it is absolutely essential for government or any large organization or business to hire bureaucrats in order to function. They are the people that are supposed to actually implement an organization’s Schwenk polices and deliver the product that an entity has in its mandate. The problem we have here in Alberta is that the bureaucracy seems to have become an entity unto itself. Rather than being servants for the people, they seem to have taken it upon themselves to tell the people what they need and want. I described a couple of examples in the column from last week.
“
We now have a
bloated over paid bureaucracy that has forced the government into deficit for the last seven years.
“
Where I think the bureaucracy gets off track is that they cannot resist the temptation to exercise control. Every time you hear the word centralize from government you just know that it is bureaucrats maneuvering to gain more control in their department. I am not privy to the reorganization that takes place in most of the government departments but there are some examples that I am aware of. I just finished reading a book written by a retired game warden. He details some excellent examples of bureaucrats organizing and reorganizing the departments that were responsible for protecting Alberta’s fish and wildlife. The front line workers in this department were the game wardens. The welfare of these people did not seem to be a major concern of the bureaucracy. Game wardens, like police, are always at risk for personal injury. It

took over two decades of lobbying before they were officially issued weapons to protect themselves. The bureaucrats seemed to have no clue as to the hours of work, risk and sacrifice that was involved by these officers in protecting this valuable resource. The bureaucrats were much more interested in protecting their own skin. I would recommend that you try to get a copy of Game Warden IV by Murray Bates. Believe me, it is a real eye-opener. Where the Alberta government has really done damage to this province is with the reorganization of the Alberta Health Care System. The system has gone through three major reorganizations since the mid nineties. It went from individual hospital boards of directors to 17 regional boards to nine regional boards. That still didn’t produce the desired results. The system was costing too much and wait times for certain operations and emergency room service was unacceptable. The bureaucrats were then able to convince a new progressive premier by the name of Ed Stelmach one provincial board with one CEO was the answer. With a centralized health care system the government thought it could control the costs and deliver better service. In my opinion the opposite happened. What the bureaucracy and its union, the AUPE did not seem to understand was that an organization of that size would require hundreds of management bureaucrats to function. So what was achieved? We now have a bloated over paid bureaucracy that has forced the government into deficit for the last seven years. It is now the most expensive health care system in Canada and delivers the poorest service, but the bureaucrats are in control! With a union friendly government in power now just think what will happen with the implementation of Bill 6 and a carbon tax system. I think it will be our worst nightmare. It won’t take long for Alberta to look like Ontario. You can be sure the bureaucrats were overjoyed when the NDP were elected with a majority. There would be no cutbacks.

Beginning to see right through our government Dear Editor, It seems every few years our language changes and just when we think we understand what the next generation is talking about, in comes another batch of peculiar sayings. Going back to my teenage years, there were expressions such as “in a pig’s ear”, which had nothing to do with a swine’s hearing. When we were exasperated we would let everyone know by uttering the profound saying “Oh for crying in the mud!” Later on I realized these were commonly known as idioms and because they didn’t really mean what the words implied they were quickly replaced. In the last 10 years or so, I have become acutely aware of the latest idioms that are peculiar to individuals in position so power. Presidents, prime ministers and other who live in the political arena are often heard using two popular idioms when addressing the populace. The individuals assume a very serious expression and stance, stares intently into the camera lens and begins; “I want to be ‘perfectly clear’ ” regarding . . . and on and on they go, winding up with the second most popular idiom of our day “our government
is committed to being ‘completely transparent’ with the citizens of our country!” It took me quite awhile to understand that when using these expressions the individuals really do not mean what the words normally imply. For instance when being “perfectly clear” about a 10 billion dollar deficit, the current government was really talking about growth, jobs and infrastructure. This also applied to the raising of taxes on the wealthy, offsetting the lowering of middle class income tax. They somehow miscalculated, but the difference was rather insignificant, only about one billion short. Oh, and about the 25,000/10,000 refugees, they really had no idea how to accomplish that, but they assured us it would happen. December 31 really meant ah, was it February or maybe April? It’s tricky to catch onto all of these idioms, especially for an old gal like me. But I want to be “perfectly clear” about this, as our government becomes more and more “completely transparent” I am beginning to see right through them! Faye Pearson, Stettler, Ab.

Coronation/Stettler, Ab
Started farming at a very young age “Eulogy read by Mark Strashok” Murray Hugh Magill was born on Jan. 5, 1952 in Coronation to Robert and Dorothy Magill. He grew up in the Hemaruka area with his sisters, Faye and Donna and started farming at a young age on the Magill Farm. On Dec. 12, 1981 Murray married Marlene and recently celebrated 34 years of love and commitment. That commitment included becoming an amazing father to Ian and Dwight. When Murray and Marlene told the boys about the upcoming wedding, they Magill eagerly shared the news that their mom was marrying “Maaree” Magill. Murray’s dedication to his new father role very soon gave him the title “Dad”! He was so proud of his boys and the men that they have become. He beamed when he spoke of their families and how he gained two fabulous daughters – Christy and Jody, and grandsons Hudson and Ryker. Murray farmed alongside his Dad, Robert and Mom, Dorothy, building a successful farming operation. Working side-by-side with his dad for more than 60 years and with the love and support of his Mom, he became a skilled and knowledgeable farmer. He was very proud to celebrate 100 years on the family farm with them. Murray was calm and methodical with animals, especially his cattle. He had the ability to recognize each and every one of them and some even got special nicknames. If you asked Murray, he would know the blood line, the medical history and current status of all of the cattle. Curling, music, dancing, watching sporting events, quading and touring around the countryside were a few of Murray’s interests in life. He was also known as an avid hunter. So much so, that driving on the way to his wedding he made time to pull over, shoot down a coyote he spotted in the distance, and toss it into the back of his truck. In 1981 a coyote pelt was worth good money! Being a farmer to Murray meant being a founding member of the Steer-aYear club and never missing an auction. He looked forward to the auctions because it meant getting to spend time visiting and enjoying a piece of pie or cake or two. As a child he was a member of the 4-H Club, which later led him to become a 4-H leader, who helped shape a new generation, including his own boys. Whether improving the feeding facility, making the transition from horses to motorbikes and quads for working with the cattle, Murray was always looking to progress the farm. We have heard so many stories this week from people who have been impacted by Murray’s love of farming and spirit of friendship. Whether it was lending a hand to neighbours to sharing his knowledge, he always made time for others. On behalf of the nieces and nephews, my brother Darwin, cousins Brandy and Ryan….we will miss you Uncle Murray. From tractor rides when we were just a few feet high, to those Thanksgiving sportsmen’s weekends as we called them, duck or goose hunting in the morning, then fishing for trout at the pond in the afternoon, we all have so many special memories of our visits to the farm! Murray cherished his sisters Faye and Donna. His family and friends were more important than even his love for farming! This was never more evident than the joy he brought to others and himself when playing the role of Santa at the

FORESTBURG VILLAGE COUNCIL
Continued delays for new water treatment plant Dena Clark
ECA Review Reporter No update has yet been received for the potential commissioning dates for the new water treatment plant, reported CAO Debra Moffatt during the Forestburg village council meeting on Mon. Jan. 4. Her report also stated that Select Engineering along with Forestburg Transit Mix determined that despite the freezing temperatures, there is enough clean, dry fill to ensure that there will be no damage to the piping and minimal settling come spring in order to proceed with coring into the reservoir and burying the resulting water line.
Unfilled Regional Water Operator position
The Village of Forestburg is still looking for a Regional Water Operator
despite having conducted a first founds of interviews. The job posting has been renewed and the position remains unfilled at this time.
FIP news
Flagstaff Intermunicipal Partnership (FIP) Coordinator Laura Towers has submitted her resignation effective Jan. 15, 2016. Plans are currently in place to fill the position with existing staff. CAO Debra Moffatt will be taking on the additional duties until April at which time Megan Snider, who is currently on maternity leave, will return to her current role as Assistant Administrator to the Village of Forestburg in addition to her new role of FIP Coordinator. As a result of the shared role, FIP will be footing the bill for half of Snider’s salary thereby reducing the anticipated property tax increase to
one per cent. Flagstaff County and the Village of Alliance have confirmed they are rescinding their motions to withdraw from FIP.
Budget
A comparison budget was also presented to council by CAO Moffatt that showed a 10 per cent increase between the 2011 budgets and 2016 budgets which speaks to an annual budget increase of around two per cent each year. It was reported that wages have increased by approximately 2.5 to three per cent each year with the overall budget showing around $682,000, approximately 22 per cent of the budget, of the municipal income used for wages and benefits.
Funding requests
Two requests that did not go through the normal application process were made from council for funds. This prompted discussion from councillors regarding what information should be included from individuals/ groups looking to council for fundraising dollars.
These items include a budget which outlines the total cost for the event or project the funds are intended for, as well as all revenue streams and how the specific requested funds will be used.
Restricted access to airport
Restricted access to the airport for the general public was a subject of discussion amongst council members following an unpaid property tax bill of $5,700 from an individual who currently has personal items in storage at the airport. Access to the airport can be gained by contacting the village office.
