a Flatiron style building and was disappointed it was destroyed. “We lost a landmark and many years of history last night,” said Coun. Knight on Monday. “The loss will certainly be felt by the community. Many happy memories were made in that building. However, Mirror is resilient. We’ll grieve the loss but will move onward and upward. We always do. “A huge thank you to all the fire departments who assisted in the blaze and saved the adjacent buildings,” added Coun. Knight. “Teamwork at its finest, thank you so much.” In its hay day the hotel dining room was “first class”, said Duncan.

sad thing. It was here when the town was being established.” Duncan said the Mirror Hotel has been closed for about five years but she had hoped it would be restored. “It was a neat old building. It’s a shame it’s gone.” Duncan believed the hotel was a Flatiron building, a rare structure. Flatiron buildings got their name from their triangular shape on a corner-block. “To me it does look like a Flatiron building,” said Duncan, adding that it had an angled entrance way. But Baker said he didn’t think it was a Flatiron building. Lacombe County Coun. Brenda Knight believed the building was

A vital part of Mirror’s history went up in smoke Sunday night when the Mirror Hotel burned to the ground. Mirror Fire Department responded with all nine members at 8:40 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 28 and requested mutual aid from Bashaw, Clive, Alix and Lacombe Fire departments. It took more than eight hours to extinguish the fire, said Mirror Fire Chief Dave Tomkinson. At 8 a.m. Monday fire crews dealt with hot spots until around noon. Chief Tomkinson said the fire is suspicious and under investigation. No dollar value of the loss has been determined.

Mirror and District Museum member Edgar Baker said the wooden hotel opened in 1912. “It was one of the first buildings in Mirror,” said Baker. According to the Sept. 12, 1912 issue of the Mirror Journal, the Imperial Hotel was built by T. G. Cook Builders of Wainwright and J. Baker did the plastering. At the back of the hotel there were hitching posts on each end for horses. Baker said the hotel caught fire twice in the past, once before his time and the second time when he was a child in the 1940s. Claire Duncan, president of Mirror and District Museum, said it’s a loss to the community. “It’s just another piece of Mirror’s history that is lost. It’s a

RCMP

Possession of stolen property charges During the early morning hours of Feb. 24, 2016, Consort RCMP were called to a complaint of a suspicious vehicle in the Hemaruka area. This vehicle was subsequently located in Consort, Ab. According a Consort RCMP press release they located the stolen property including three stolen Ford pickup trucks, a flat deck trailer, two license plates, a large quantity of illegal drugs, and various tools and other equipment. Jason and Cindy Emter, both of Wainwright, face multiple charges including possession of stolen property over $5,000; stolen property under $5,000, possession of break in instruments, three counts under the Drugs & Substances Act.

Investigate sexual assault

A female youth attended the Killam RCMP detachment on Tues. Feb. 16 to report that she had been sexually

assaulted by an adult male. Police conducted a thorough investigation into the allegation and on Thur. Feb. 25, charged Bruce Darren White (49) of Strome, Ab. with sexual assault. Police are continuing their investigation which may result in additional charges. White has been remanded into custody and will appear in Killam Provincial Court on Tuesday, April 5.

Armed robbery suspect arrested

On Feb, 21 at approximately 7:05 p.m. Killam RCMP were advised of an armed robbery that had just occurred at the Esso gas station in Sedgewick, Ab. A male wearing a skull mask, red t-shirt and black hoodie pointed what appeared to be a rifle at the owner and demanded money. A customer pulled into the parking lot and the suspect hid in a back room. The customer entered the store and

walked towards the back of the store. The suspect pointed the gun at him and forced him into the back room. The suspect then returned to the front counter and demanded money. The owner gave the suspect the money from the cash register. The suspect fled the scene in an unknown vehicle. The investigation led police to a suspect who lives in Forestburg Ab. where a search warrant was executed on the suspect’s home. A 19 year old man, Cody Allen Nelson was arrested and charged with robbery, two counts of pointing a firearm, fail to comply with a probation order, unlawful confinement, possession of a controlled substance, two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, and careless use of a firearm. Nelson has been remanded into custody and will appear at Killam Provincial Court on March 1.

Mutual Fire Aid agreement to be discussed Dena Clark,

The Town of Coronation council members discussed a mutual fire aid agreement with the Village of Consort at their regular town council meeting on Mon., Feb. 22. Currently there is no agreement in place that relates specifically to Fire Mutual Aid. The town is party to a Disaster Services Mutual Aid Agreement between the following municipalities, which does include provisions for Fire Services Mutual Aid that includes the MD of Provost and Acadia Valley, counties of Paintearth, Stettler, Starland, Wheatland, Cypress and Newell, the towns of Castor, Coronation, Hanna and Oyen, villages of Consort, Youngstown, Cereal, Veteran, and Empress and Special Areas Board. Council members voted to include Flagstaff County into this group.

Recreation report

Although Recreation Director Barry Brigley was not in attendance at the meeting, he did send a report which indicated that the town’s bowling season would see Mar. 19 as its final day. He also stated that the Coronation curling rink is hosting CARA School playdowns on Thur., Feb. 25 and the Oil Ladies bonspiel the weekend of Feb. 27 and 28 to mark the end of the curling season. The skating rink will be shut down during the third week in March. There has been some issues with the 30 year old scoreboard and clock this winter. A grant application has been sent in hopes of its replacement. The minor hockey league’s regular season finished on the weekend of Feb. 19 and 20 with three 3C’s teams making into the provincial finals which commence in March: Pee-Wee A, Bantam A and Midget A. Brigley also reported that

a grant has been received to cover the pool deck with recycled rubber which is scheduled to take place mid-May. CAO Sandra Kulyk explained that the Health Inspector said the cracks are breeding grounds for bacteria and the scheduled maintenance is a quick fix which will be completed before the pool’s scheduled opening. Council members agree to have two permanent handicap parking stalls drawn up outside Coronation’s Drop-In Centre.

Snow removal

Gary Schroeder appeared before council Mon., Feb. 22 to discuss his concerns with Town of Coronation’s snow removal policy, specifically the streets around the school being plowed prior to the commencement of classes following a snowfall. Council members felt Schroeder’s request was fair and that they would look into it. The Town of Coronation’s current snow removal policy states that the town will provide snow and ice control on municipal streets and sidewalks according to pre-established priorities. The Public Works Department implements snow plowing operations in accordance to priority as follows: Priority 1- Fire Hall driveway, Priority 2 - Ambulance bay driveway, Priority 3 - Doctor’s residences - including driveways and clear access route to the hospital, Priority 4 - Government Road - leading to the Hospital Priority 5 - Railway Ave. Priority 6 ·Downtown Core Priority 7 - School/Arena area, including Norfolk Ave. on south side of arena and school and George St. from Norfolk Ave. to York Ave. on east side of the school. Priority 8 - All other residential, commercial and

industrial streets in an order which is determined at the discretion of the Public Works Foreman. Downtown core means roadways that include: Victoria Avenue from King Street to Queen Street, Royal Street from Railway Avenue to Norfolk Avenue and Windsor Avenue from King Street to Queen Street. Plowing operations are governed by current weather conditions and by the priorities assigned to individual roadways. Snow plowing will commence after three centimeters of snow has accumulated or when snow drifting impedes

WATER MANAGEMENT

Water for food production The number of attendees at the The Prairie Association for Water Management (P.A.W.M.) annual meeting on Feb. 17 at Kirriermuir, Ab. was small but those who attended received a wealth of information from Joey Hurley, on the available resources and the distribution for use by our population and industries including agriculture. Joey Hurley, a water policy advisor for the Alberta government, Environmental Sustainable Resources department shared with the attendees her knowledge on water that is available for the production of food and the amount of water in

the various river basins. She stated that those of us in the south have the most amount of people and the least amount of surface water while the north have the most amount of water and the least amount of people. Her presentation on water management in Alberta outlined the policy context, water supply and availability, water allocation system, water demand and water rights and management as it transitions from government policy to the various stakeholders in the province. Although the water belongs to the people of Alberta, the

government of Alberta was given the authority by the people to manage these resources and to conserve water resources to sustain a healthy environment to insure a high quality of life in the present and stimulate Alberta economic growth and prosperity in the future. There is a shortage of water world-wide, said P.A.W.M.President, John Kloberdanz of Kirriemuir in his report to the ECA Review. Even though we have been blessed with adequate supplies in Alberta, we must always do our part in protecting and conserving this precious resource.

BIG VALLEY

Waste Management team visits Debra Johnston

ECA Review reporter A team from Waste Management met with Big Valley council at their Feb. 25 meeting to provide some information about the company’s landfill situated west of Big Valley on Highway 590. Rina Blacklaws and Solomiya Lyaskovska from Communications/ Community Relations and Paul Burns, Director of Operations, ran through the history of the company in the Big Valley area. The facility, which is a Class II industrial landfill accepting construction/demolition debris, contaminated soils and industrial waste, began construction in 1990 and started operating in 1992. On average, 200 tons of waste per day comes into the landfill. At times, the tonnage has reached 2000 tons per day when a special project, such as a demolition, is underway. Covering 150 hectares, 45 of which are permitted for waste disposal, the landfill has a life expectancy of another 59 years. The facility does not accept hazardous waste or municipal waste. Waste Management provides garbage pick up to the village free of charge. The municipal waste is then hauled to Stettler landfill. The garbage fee residents pay covers the charges from the Stettler landfill. The company is an active supporter of Big Valley non-profit and charitable groups and conducts school demonstrations. Students learn about waste management, recycling and landfill operation. Blacklaws described visiting a classroom and building a model landfill with the students using candy as the medium to represent waste.

Waste Management plans to hold an open house in Big Valley likely in March. Representatives will be on hand to answer questions about the facility and respond to any complaints the public may have. According to Blacklaws, the landfill has only had one recent complaint about mud being tracked onto the highway from trucks leaving the facility. The facility has a sweeper to clean the highway. They also have rumble strips in

place to shake excess mud and gravel from the tires. Burns stated they also maintain the roadways at the facility to keep them well graveled and compacted. According to Waste Management of Canada’s website, the company employs 3400 people in nine provinces. They operate 116 locations of which 20 are recycling recovery facilities and 18 are landfills. Big Valley is one of two landfills in Alberta. The second is in Edmonton.

ALIX

Crime solution offered Lisa Joy

ECA Review reporter Since the downturn in Alberta’s economy crime is on the increase and Alix, which doesn’t have a police detachment in the village, is an easy target, Edwin Cole of Excalibur Security Consultants told council at its regular meeting Feb. 24. Cole, a retired RCMP officer living in Alix, offered his services to the village saying he could help monitor the community for suspicious activities during the hours of the night the community is most vulnerable. “The deterrent factor alone justifies the cost,” he said. Cole said the criminal element monitors police scanners and are aware

where police are and know the response time for the Bashaw detachment to reach Alix is typically 30 to 60 minutes. He added that it’s cost prohibitive for Alix to have a local police detachment. “I like the concept,” said Mayor Arlene Nelson of Cole’s proposal. Coun. Kurt Pederson said although Alix has Citizens on Patrol, it’s difficult to get the people out. Cole, however, said unless those patrolling are ex-law enforcement they don’t know what to look for before a crime happens. He said he would like to start in April or May. Council deferred making a decision and will discuss the issue at its upcoming budget deliberations in March.

Must see show of the season Advertorial Cultivating the Arts Gala Event featuring Cirque Mechanics is set to perform Sat. Mar. 5 at the Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose. To “Cultivate” by definition is to acquire or develop a quality, sentiment, or skill. The mission of the Lougheed Centre is just that - to be the home of performing arts in Camrose, showcasing world-class entertainment for our citizens while also providing leadership and expertise to local events, all of which contribute to the cultural fabric of our community. “Our goal is to encourage, engage and support community organizations in the Camrose area, helping them reach their full potential,” says Nick Beach, General Manager for the Lougheed Centre. “We invite you all to join us as we celebrate the Lougheed Performing Arts Centre and what it means to Camrose and area residents to have this world class facility in our community,” says Tanya Pattullo, Patron Services Manager. “This year, we are thrilled to present an amazing act Cirque Mechanics - a premiere American circus, with a unique approach to performance, inspiring storytelling and innovative mechanical staging. Cirque Mechanics, although inspired by modern circus, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American ingenuity. The show, rooted in realism, displays a raw quality, rarely found in modern circus that makes their message timeless and relevant. The stories are wrapped in circus acrobatics, mechanical wonders and a bit of clowning around,” describes General Manager Nick Beach. Company founder, Chris Lashua, hails from Boston, Massachusetts, where he spent most of his youth

riding on a BMX bike. He was discovered by Cirque du Soleil and created/ performed a BMX bike act that was entirely his own. He was then commissioned to build a “German Wheel” piece for the company, cementing his reputation as a visionary of circus gadgetry. His engineering chops and creative energy led him to ‘run away’ with his own circus company, Cirque Mechanics. Chris believes that innovative mechanical apparatus and the relationship between performer and machine sets his company apart and is at the heart of what makes Cirque Mechanics unique. Chris has delivered on this unique relationship in Birdhouse Factory and Boom Town the company’s two theatrical productions and in Cirque Mechanics for the Orchestra, Chris explored the performer machine relationship with the Gantry Bike, a self-contained, pedal driven mechanical stage, worthy of the grand classical music featured in that show. “We sincerely hope that you can join us in our fundraising efforts. By attending the gala event, you contribute to keep operational funding at a level to ensure all community groups have equal accessibility to our facility. This encourages community groups to use the facility allowing their performances and events to benefit from the theatres professional atmosphere and technical abilities,” adds Pattullo. Presented by Shuman Insurance, the Lougheed Centre is proud to present Cirque Mechanics on Sat. Mar. 5 @7pm. A few tickets are still availProgeny able – all seats $100. To purchase tickets, visit the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre website at www.camroselive.ca or call the box office at 780-608-2922. It’s @LougheedCentre. See it Live! Camrose Live!

MLA fields questions from Clearview trustees

PRAIRIEVIEW

Equalization, an unfair program by Herman Schwenk In Canada we have a government program called equalization that in its simplest form was intended to transfer some tax revenue from well off provinces to the less well off provinces. The idea was this would allow all provinces to provide somewhat equal services to their residents. It was intended that Medicare, education and various social services would be similar in every province. This is a program that was implemented 60 years ago and was enshrined in the Constitution since 1982. In theory this would seem to be a fair program. In actual practice it has always been an unfair program for the people of Alberta. The last time that Alberta was a recipient of the program was in 1963. Alberta is the only province that has been a Schwenk consistent contributor to that program since then. Manitoba, Quebec and the three Maritime provinces are referred to as have-not provinces and have always been recipients of the transfers. BC, Saskatchewan, Ontario and NL have been contributors and recipients of the program at one time or another. Ontario was a continuous contributor of the program since its inception. When premier Dalton McGinty implemented the Green Energy Act a large segment of Ontario’s manufacturing industry left the province due to high electricity prices. This caused a large enough decrease in their revenue for them to become a have-not province. Between 2000 and 2014 on a net basis Alberta’s taxpayers have shipped an estimated $200 billion to the federal government. During the boom years of 2007 and 2008 the provinces taxpayers shipped more than $20 billion annually, on a net basis. Conversely Quebec receives almost $10 billion each and every year. One program that Quebec is able to finance from their equalization wind fall is their day care program for $7 a day. The author of one column I

Published by Coronation Review Limited

read suggested that there is an, ”overarching policy question: is equalization doing to provinces what welfare programs have done to communities and individuals – foster dependency, undermine employment, reward profligacy and compromise growth.” We know that Quebec and Nova Scotia have hydro carbon resources in shale that could be developed similar to what is done in western Canada. They refuse to develop this resource as it might make them ineligible for the equalization transfer. In fact Quebec does not have to include the revenue from its hydro electric industry as part of the equalization calculation. In one editorial that I came across it stated that no other province including Ontario, with three times the population, comes close to matching Alberta’s contribution to the federation. It is remarkable that few Canadians seem to be aware of this. This writer wrote, “I’ve never seen these numbers reported in the national media or disclosed by federal or provincial politicians. He went on to say that he couldn’t find a single expert who had researched the data or was willing to discuss it at any length. “ Brian Jean the leader of the official Opposition Wildrose party has announced that they have struck an expert panel, chaired by University of Calgary economist Frank Atkins, to propose changes around equalization. “Alberta is still set to be one of the largest net contributors to equalization despite the enormous shock our energy sector has taken”, he told reporters in Calgary. The panel will report back in October. The Notley government does not appear to be impressed with the appointment of this panel. They said it won’t make a whit of difference today. However they do seem to think that the $250 million that the federal government just awarded the province is a big deal. With a projected deficit in excess of $6 billion it won’t make much difference.

Debra Johnston

ECA Review reporter Trustees had a broad range of questions to ask of Wildrose MLA Rick Strankman, who stopped in to the Feb. 25 Clearview School Board meeting to touch base with the board. Keeping rural schools open and viable is one of Clearview’s priorities. Trustee Ken Checkel was curious to know how much influence the opposition parties had with the government, specifically on the issue of the Small Schools by Necessity Grant, which helps to keep small schools open. As Checkel explained, the larger school districts like Edmonton or Calgary would hardly notice the small amount of funds the grant provides but those grants are essential to smaller schools. “We absolutely depend on those grants. That’s really the only thing keeping them [smaller schools] going,” stated Checkel. Strankman stated that, even though the ‘theatre of the Chamber’ can get contentious and heated, outside of that environment, MLAs can

Edwin Parr nominees meet the board

Melissa Burton, who teaches kindergarten at Botha School and teaches at the Lane’s Lake Colony School, was the first nominee for the Edwin Parr Award to make a presentation to the board. Nominated by Botha School

Principal Mike Flieger, Burton described the busyness of an elementary school class was uniquely suited to her teaching personality. Burton’s early life was always full of numerous activities that required managing: very similar to the way a kindergarten class operates, explained Burton. She enjoys having the opportunity to ‘change things up’ for her class to keep students interested. Teaching has always been part of Jennifer Knowles life, who teaches at Gadsby Colony School. Nominated by Colony Schools Principal Tim Croker, Knowles came to the profession of school teacher a little later in life, after spending a number of years in various careers, but primarily in dance. As a Colony teacher, Knowles has found project based learning to be a very effective tool for colony kids. Students have more choice about what subjects they want to study, consequently, their studies can be more directed to the lifestyle of the colony. Clearview will announce the winner this week.

speak with each other openly. “I like to think we have a respectful relationship.” How to deal with the latest government policy regarding transgendered students was also on the board’s list of concerns. “This government has a misconception of their role,” stated Strankman. He believes the government is trying to implement their ideology without having a mandate to do so. As Trustee John Schofer stated, “We believe we are doing this already,” referring to Clearview’s policy of making its schools safe places for all students. In an effort to gather feedback from the public, Clearview will host two public meetings, Mar. 15 at Gus Wetter School, Castor and Mar. 16 at W.E.Hay, Stettler.

Dear Editor, Mr. Schwenk’s opinion pieces are always thought provoking. In this case they have provoked me to write this letter. An ongoing theme seems to be that bureaucrats are responsible for government policy. This is not correct. Governments set policies, bureaucrats implement policies. Bureaucrats may draft

policies, but it is governments who direct them to do so, and ultimately it is governments who set them into legislation. In the case of electricity deregulation as referred to in the Feb. 25 column, it was the former PC government’s ideology that “competition is always better” without analyzing the possible consequences that took us down that road. It is interesting that Mr.

Schwenk blames the “bureaucrats” for the PC government’s electricity deregulation debacle, but the “NDP government” for all of its policies. By all means, blame the NDP government, but also put blame on the 44 years of PC government whose complacency and lack of foresight got us where we are today. Marion Oberg Riise Forestburg, AB

now) where the general consensus of the taxpayers in the village was that our hall was old but we could not afford to build a new one. There was even a vote at one of those meetings that taxpayers would not financially help. Yet apparently there are

people who ignore the residents of Clive and go ahead anyway. Further, I do not see where the County of Lacombe has asked for the projected sustainability of a new hall. We need ALL the facts. Avis Sayers Clive, AB
