INDEX

Lacombe County, at its regular meeting April 25, backtracked on allocating a projected 2015 $1 million surplus because of an administration error.

Numbers entered were transposed and Lacombe County Council was told April 14 that the surplus would be $931,771 instead of the actual $97,283.

“Had we waited until the financial statements were completed before projecting the surplus for 2015 the transposition error would have been identified and corrected,” Lacombe County Commissioner Terry Hager told council April 25 in his report. maauctions.com The 2015 surplus was projected this year without finalizing the balanced financial statements. Hager said this is the first year the surplus was projected without balancing the financial statements and was done to give council a chance to allocate any projected surplus prior to the auditor presenting the financial statements to council.

At the April 14 regular meeting council was told there would be a projected 2015 surplus of almost $1 million and recommended council allocate $313,000 to uncollectable property taxes and $600,000 to reserves. But when finishing the final balance and checks for the financial statements, it was discovered that the number in the line item for change in the prepaid expenses and inventory of supplies was transposed.

ECA review

Bashaw can capitalize on businesses wanting to relocate Lisa Joy

ECA Review reporter Branden Jones, of U.S. based company Multi-View, pitched a $12,000 proposal to Bashaw town council at its regular meeting May 5, that he says could bring business to town.

Jones, in a presentation over the phone, told council through a targeted behavioural campaign, Bashaw could tap into the businesses looking into relocating to either Calgary or Edmonton.

Behavioural targeting is a technique used by advertisers to increase how effective ad campaigns are by gathering an individual’s web-browsing behaviour for the last 30 days. This includes the pages they visit and key word searches they make. The targeted approach then has ads pop up into the browser’s window. In Bashaw’s case they could target toplevel managers of businesses who are looking to invest in Alberta, said Jones. He said if a company has a registered IP address he can give them information on the company. The campaign would also collect data on who is coming to the Town of Bashaw’s website.

Coun. Bryan Gust, however, didn’t

Budget typo

think a targeted campaign would suit Bashaw.

“The reality of Bashaw competing with Calgary or Edmonton for business location is a little far fetched.”

Chief Administrative Officer Theresa Fuller said Bashaw could consider a regional partnership for the campaign and ask neighbouring communities if they’re interested in participating.

CAO Fuller said if the town ended up selling one or two industrial lots it would cover the cost of the marketing campaign.

Mayor Penny Shantz said she liked the idea of approaching the campaign from a regional perspective. “Never say never. Look outside the box.”

Deputy Mayor Rosella Peterman said the targeted campaign is a way of reaching an audience they may not otherwise reach but added, “I need time to digest this.”

She said the industrial lots are just “sitting there” but the town needs to consider what kind of industry they want to target.

“We are small and some of those things won’t come. Then it would be a waste.”

“It is a lot of money for a small town,” said Coun. Darren Pearson.

CAO Fuller said it’s an interesting campaign worthy of consideration.

from May long weekend to the middle of September.

Pam Miller, past chair of the historical society, told council at its regular meeting May 5 that they won’t be able to use a summer student and asked the town to help pay the $7,200 cost for an employee for six hours a day, five days a week. The individual would be at the tourist booth from Wednesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and at the museum from 1 to 4 p.m.

“We would like to request that your generous offer of handling the wages for our employee be used again this year, if we supply you with our full commitment of monies,” said Miller.

The historical society plans to use the tourist booth to display some historical artifacts.

“We have a selection of old fire equipment that we have never been able to showcase and the booth would provide a wonderful venue,” said Miller.

The historical society may include antique dressers, tables, history books,

walking historical tour brochures and tourist brochures in a display.

The historical society wants to hold its summer children’s program at the booth, gazebo or park. They are considering a variety of activities from a picnic and concert in the part, bug collecting and a photo and art contest, to crafts, puppet show, talent show and a historical contest.

They plan to highlight the old fire truck and put mannequins dressed in old firemen uniforms at the truck.

They want to hold weekly tours of the historical statues, buildings and plaques around Bashaw.

To conduct the tours they are considering using a horse and wagon, a six-passenger golf cart or an old historical truck.

“Finding the funds for this project may prove a little more tricky,” said Miller.

Coun. Rosella Peterman suggested the historical society ask Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin if they have a vehicle they could lend.

FORESTBURG

Plans for economic diversification Council discussed economic diversification during their regular meeting on Wed., May 4 and the following points were brought up: a need to develop a marketing campaign that works in conjunction with the 100th Anniversary Celebration; the potential need to engage a marketing consultant to provide direction on how to set up the campaign; developing affordable lots;

updating the internet service, developing an inventory of all businesses; using “fresh eyes” to view the community to see what sets Forestburg apart; promoting local shopping; setting up a public meeting to discuss the issues facing the future economic situation.

Administration set a public meeting to be held on Thur., June 9 at 7 p.m. at the Community Hall.

PRAIRIE LAND SCHOOLS

Board agrees to support playground Dena Clark

ECA Review reporter Audra Limpert from Hanna Primary School requested approximately $60,000 on behalf of the Hanna Community School Enhancement (HCSE) from the Prairie Land Regional Division (PLRD) at their meeting on Thurs. Apr. 28 for the new playground equipment project currently in the works in the Town of Hanna.

The new equipment has a total price tag of $232,265.29.

To date, $60,000 has already been raised for the project through the efforts of HCSE and with the $60,000 requested of the school division, that allows for the potential of applying for a matching government grant which should cover the entire cost of the project.

Following Limpert’s presentation there was a great deal of discussion surrounding the request.

The board shared varying opinions over providing these dollars.

ON THE OTHER HAND

The wealth of the sands

by B.P. Schimke Life is fragile, again highlighted by what has and continues to unfold in Fort McMurray. In an instance our lives can change forever.

There are at least 90,000 people who faced tragedy on Tuesday last. Their lives will never be the same after driving through walls of towering flames and losing homes, businesses, jobs, memories and treasures. Living as nomads, sleeping on cots, in strange hotel rooms or couch surfing. Needing strangers, family and friends to provide the basic necessities of life. And most distressing, their lives will not be normalized for some time to come.

I have always had a problem with successive Conservative governments enjoying the wealth of the Sands, but doing far too little to support the people and infrastructure of Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo MD. Ninety thousand people living at the end of a road, one way in and one way out, always seemed like a tragedy waiting to happen.

The south has enjoyed the lion’s share of the Sands wealth especially through low taxes, no provincial sales tax, high salaries and huge investments in southern infrastructure. Yet after 35+ years of extensive oil sand development, we have yet to provide those residents with a safe four-lane highway from Fort McMurray to Edmonton. Truth be told, schools, hospitals and living spaces for seniors were all painfully slow in arriving to meet the needs of Alberta’s economic engine.

It seems North American life style needs tragedy to challenge us out of our complacency and self-absorption.

It is now time that we stop fretting about the provincial debt or our taxes

and step up to the plate, not for the short-term which is easy and emotional, but for the long term.

With three successive major weather events in the last five years (Slave Lake, Southern Alberta/Calgary floods and now Fort McMurray), our Treasury is bare and we need a new source of revenue. It would be incumbent on the government to start charging a progressive “Act of God” surcharge on our taxes to cover the cost of uncontrollable major weather events. The surcharge should come and go depending on whether there are Act of God costs to pay or in the case of McMurray, the twinning of Highway 63 to finish.

The silver lining in tragedy for wealthy countries is that a lot of citizens remember and experience empathy for others. We have seen donations pour in, but as the survivors of Slave Lake will tell you, the rebuilding of lives and communities takes decades and lots of public money.

We’re in a bust. As per usual the Alberta government and many of its citizens didn’t plan for a bust, thought the boom would go on forever. Well it hasn’t and now we have what will be the most expensive-ever cleanup from a natural disaster in Alberta history.

With oil prices in the tank and much of our production off line because of the fire, working Albertans are solely on the hook for this one.

And, that’s not such a bad thing.

Next time it could be you or me facing the life alternating event and we, too, will look for government’s financial support.

We the people are the government and we might just have to start acting like that instead of a citizenry drunk on oil.

Sixth graders grill Coronation council Dena Clark

ECA Review reporter Coronation school teacher Dan Kinakin brought several of his sixth grade students to the Coronation town council meeting on Mon., Apr. 25 to question council on various topics as part of their social studies curriculum.

Some of the questions council fielded included being asked to increase the temperature of the pool. To which, Kulyk explained the lower temperature was required in order to strike an optimal balance between chlorine and bacteria levels. With an increase in the pool water’s temperature there comes an increase in the amount of bacteria present, therefore a higher level of chlorine needed. If those chlorine levels are not up to provincial code the pool risks being shut down.

Colony kids walk for health Debra Johnston

ECA Review reporter Colony students are walking across Canada in a wellness project started

by Silver Spring Colony School teacher, Lori Zitaruk.

Superintendent Peter Barron explained the physical/virtual project to trustees at Clearview School Board meeting on May 5.

According to Zitaruk, the students and staff physically walk each day at their respective colonies. The distance each person has walked is entered into an app called ‘World Walking’.

The total then shows how far across Canada the group has progressed. The app uses Google Maps and even provides a street view of each new

Visit from mobile classroom

Students at Brownfield and Botha schools will get a chance to learn computer coding when the Code Mobile visits the schools at the beginning of the 2016/17 school year.

The Code Mobile, an initiative of Ladies Learning Code, is a travelling computer lab that teaches students about program coding. The target audience is generally children and women and the goal is to get individuals to not only use but also build technology.

Finalizing budget details

Trustees worked out the final details of the 2016/17 budget, which the board will finalize at the next meeting.

Boards have until June to approve their budgets.

Some of the main tweaks were: hiring a full time coordinator focused on early learning which replaces a current position of an employee set to retire, busing rates for field trips will be cut in half for schools, automatic external defibrillators to be placed in all schools, and continued technology upgrades and remodeling.

Therefore the lower pool water temperature helps ensure the pool remains open throughout the entire summer season.

Another student asked for more street lights in town, to which council replied, “they would have to look into”.

Murmurs were heard among council members that some streets were quite dark and perhaps some upgrades were required for their bulbs.

In response to the question, “what is council doing to attract business and economy to town”, Counc.

Shelley Cook replied that pamphlets were being stocked at tourist booths in addition to getting together with other communities to promote each other.

Counc. Vickey Horkoff added that the Paintearth Economic Partnership Society (PEPS) was working to promote economy in the county.

Our opinion isn’t the only one… it is important that you express your opinion!

Keep it short…Ask yourself how long you would spend reading an individual letter.

Don’t rant… Nothing turns away a reader’s interest like a misguided, misdirected rant. Don’t put down or name call other writers. We all have a right to our opinions. Instead, aim for a persuasive, rational argument supported by facts and figures.

On being edited … Expect editing…and when it doesn’t happen, great. All newspapers reserve the right to edit. The primary purpose is to ensure a letter is readable While care is taken in the editing process not to impair (or destroy) a writer’s point of view, a well-formulated letter requires less editing.

Be legible…Not everyone owns VIEWPOINTS a computer but please make handwritten letters legible.

Lola was born in Federal, Ab. to George and Georgette Easton on June 11, 1922, the second oldest of the family of six siblings.

She grew up on a farm and attended school in the Coronation area.

Lola worked at the Lacombe Hotel in Heggen Lacombe Ab. before

she married Henry Heggen on Nov 24, 1943. Together they made their home on a farm in the Spondin area and raised a family of two girls, Mavis and Anola.

Lola and Henry parted ways and Lola moved to Hanna where she worked at several places including Rawlusyk’s Bakery and the Acadia Lodge.

After retiring, Lola bought the house of her dreams, which was her

Failing health forced Lola to sell her house and she moved to the Acadia Lodge and finally to the Hanna Long Term Care Facility where she resided until her passing.

Lola shared the last 48 years of her life with a special friend and partner, Alois Csanits.

Together they enjoyed numerous trips throughout Alberta, B.C. and the United States.

Publication to document Stettler’s historical roots Debra Johnston

Council made no decision at the meeting.

ECA Review reporter Documenting the origins and changing face of Stettler from 1905 to 1910 is the focus of a new Stettler Museum campaign.

At the May 3 Stettler Town Council meeting, Alf Erickson outlined the Museum’s goal of compiling and printing Stettler’s history for the time period. The project will cost $3000 for 1200 copies which will be available free of charge to the public.

Erickson requested that Stettler town council consider providing a grant for the project.

Low bid wins contract

Tender bids continue to come in well under budget for planned projects. The 2016 sidewalk replacement tender went to Greg Patterson who bid $91,170 to replace miscellaneous sections of concrete.

The budget for the project is $130,000.

Two other companies bid on the project: J. Branco and Sons $116,276.95 and Proform Concrete $129,372

The RCMP – Much more than policing!

PHOTO SP

Canada’s national police force is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and what better time to learn more about who they are and what they do than during National Police Week, May 15 to 21. While today’s “Mounties” still work to “always get their man”, to do so requires so much more than when the RCMP was created back in 1873.

Originally, the RCMP provided general law enforcement for early settlers in Canada, with a role that varied from establishing peaceful relationships between settlers and the First Nations, to fighting fires if the need arose. These officers also established their presence internationally during numerous rebellions and wars. The first women police members were signed on about 100 years after the organization was formed, but are now a vital part of RCMP operations.

In fact, the RCMP continues to grow as its role becomes even more challenging with today’s technological advances. The use of technology has generated a new wave of criminal activity, and one branch of the RCMP’s National Police Services deals specifically with crimes such as identity theft or sex offences, and provides services related to security, audio and video analysis, and co-ordination of investigations between all police services in Canada.

Other branches deal with firearms, education, information, intelligence, forensic laboratories, identification networks and child exploitation. The RCMP’s major areas of focus include organized crime, terrorism, youth, aboriginal communities and economic integrity.

On a more local level, RCMP officers still provide everyday policing in areas not served by provincial or municipal police services. They also provide extra support to provinces and municipalities when needed.

Community needs

Public safety and security, rights and freedoms and strengthening police-community ties are the goals of National Police Week. These issues are key to safe homes and communities and when police work with the community, they are easier to accomplish.

Lengthy in-camera discussion Cont’d from Pg 4 Some trustees felt the $60,000 should be provided “in-kind” while other trustees urged the board to remember that the $60,000 currently raised was already provided by the community.

Another trustee was also of the opinion that if HCSE had not taken on the playground equipment project, the entire lump sum, not to mention all the logistics of the project, would have fallen into the PLRD lap. Therefore a $60,000 cost was merely around $3,000 a year over the playground lifespan of approximately 20 years.

The board agreed to give the amount of $60,000 in a letter of intent, including in-kind work to be funded through unsupported building school components.

Lengthy in-camera discussion

The PLRD spent over four hours “in-camera” to discuss the agenda items listed as superintendent evaluation, deputy superintendent position, 2016-2017 staffing and compensation review.

Following the in-camera discussion the ECA Review was

provided with notes on the private meeting that included a motion being passed by the Board of Trustees to adopt the 2016-2017 staffing budget.

A combination of stable funding in addition to a small increase in student enrollment has allowed the Board to maintain staffing levels throughout the division.

No other details on the in-camera discussion have been provided at this time.
