Three attend rink feasibility study meeting Dena Clark
ECA Review reporter The information took a year to gather however only three people, outside of town council and the steering committee made up of members of the Wellness Society and press attended the skating arena and curling rink feasibility study public presentation held on Thur., May 12 at the Lions Rec Centre in Coronation. “Either the town really trusts council to make decisions for them or people simply don’t care,” the Town of Coronation CAO Sandra Kulyk told the press that night.

Strategies presented their findings, which included a year’s worth of research to a total of 12 people. Their 144 person survey reported that 67 per cent of persons who completed the survey actively use the skating rink while 80 per cent have been a spectator. The curling rink reports showed slightly lower numbers with a 50 per cent participant rate and 60 per cent as spectators. Their research also showed a significantly high percentage of 10 - 14 year olds living in the Coronation area compared to the rest of the province. The research stated that the Coronation skating arena was the only one in a 25 km radius and one of 15 in a 100 km radius.

The Coronation curling arena showed similar findings. The other significant items of note which RC Strategies shared at the meeting included their engineers’ findings that there is a high liklihood of a catastrophic event happening in the next one to five years due to combination of structural issues in the skating rink. Interestingly enough the price tag to “fix” the buildings to bring them up to spec is almost identical to building two brand new structures, around $20 million, give or take a couple of million depending on facilities amenities that are included for a new complex. For a complete overview of the feasibility study visit the Town of Coronation’s website.

Wind farm update
During their last regular meeting on Tues., May 3 Coun. Blumhagen abstained from discussion and departed the meeting while Country of Paintearth dealt with the wind farm and land use by law. According to meeting notes Paintearth council received a copy of Schedule A for Bylaw 463-16, which is now condensed into the material solely from the Land Use bylaw hearing and has recommendations for the various setbacks as per previous review and discussion, and also reflecting solar workshop information which occurred the day after the hearing. Since the hearing, Paintearth County has received a number of written submissions and some minor changes were affected by information at the solar workshop. Coun. Dahmer moved that an additional public hearing be held at on June 7 to receive new supplemental information on the Land Use bylaw 463-16.

CORONATION COUNCIL
Council cuts own perks to avoid raising taxes Dena Clark
ECA Review reporter Coronation town council approved the 2016 budget at their special Mon. May 16 meeting, with no increase to the municipal tax rate, however both the Paintearth Lodge and Education tax rate increased due to increased levies from both. Deputy Mayor Jackie Brigley and Councillor Vickey Horkoff spearheaded council’s attempts to cut the 2016 operating budget to avoid raising the mill rate by the proposed one to two per cent at their regular meeting on Mon., May 9. The main focus of discussion for the proposed cuts included sending fewer councillors to the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) conference and only demolishing two of the four upcoming demolitions scheduled for 2016. The two demolitions that remained on the books were the two “worst”, the home on Norfolk Ave. and the home on Victoria Ave. As reported by CAO Sandra Kulyk in the agenda minutes, because of Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) changes to financial accounting requirements, which now require municipalities to report depreciation of tangible capital assets, accounts have been included in the 2016 draft budget to account for estimated annual depreciation expense. The total annual depreciation expense budgeted for 2016 is $401,861. The draft budget does not fully fund this expense and a deficit budget is presented as a result. The deficit is proposed to be offset by a transfer from the contingency operating restricted surplus and unrestricted surplus accounts in the amount of $400,000.
Tax rates/assessment
The draft operating budget is presented with an assumption of a two per cent increase being made to the municipal tax rate. The town’s total residential assessment has increased by 0.6 per cent as a result of inflation in 2016, and the total non-residential assessment has increased by 0.3 per cent as a result of inflation. New development only
accounts for a 0.2 per cent increase in the town’s residential assessment base. Declining assessment values for non-residential properties has resulted in a 1.4 per cent decrease in assessed values in 2016. The total combined assessment increase for residential and nonresidential properties is $262,610, which is an increase of 0.35 per cent over 2015 values. If the town maintains no increase to the municipal tax rate, the average increase to commercial tax levies would be 1.13 per cent ($133.34 per year) and the average increase to residential tax levies would be 1.25 per cent ($43.89 per year), based on a sampling of municipal properties. If the town considered a two per cent increase to the municipal tax rate, the budget deficit is reduced by approximately $20,715.72, and the average increase to commercial tax levies would be 2.77 per cent ($264.38 per year) and the average increase to residential tax levies would be 2.5 per cent ($84.18 year). The town has approved residential and commercial tax incentive programs to promote new development. A total of $35,385.15 will be rebated as per the terms of the commercial property tax incentive in 2016. An analysis of the total tax levy for the Town of Coronation for the tax years 2010 to 2016 shows the source of the total tax collected for 2016 is budgeted to be approximately 83 per cent municipal, 15 per cent education levy and 2.3 per cent Paintearth Foundation levy. The analysis also shows the source of the total municipal tax collected is approximately 60 per cent residential and 40 per cent commercial. In 2014, the ratio of residential to commercial tax levies was 61 per cent residential and 39 per cent commercial.
Salaries and benefits
In December, 2015, council approved a 1.4 per cent cost of living increase to the town’s salary and wage grid. In combination with employee grid advancements and with increases to contracted wages, council fees and fire department

Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) funding
The town has received its 2016 funding confirmations for the MSI program. The town’s MSI operating funding has decreased by 9.74 per cent ($6,169) in 2016. MSI capital funding decreased by 3.66 per cent ($9,041). The Basic Municipal Transportation grant component has remained unchanged, as the grant is allocated on a per capita basis.
Youth programming request
Brad Johnson requested an opportunity to appear before council to request a discounted rate for the Lions Rec Centre to hold a youth dance. Council discussions on the subject oscillated between wanting to support the youth programming yet needing to not only cover their own costs, such as security and the cleaning fees for the venue but also the precedent they would be setting by allowing one group a discounted rate. The $100 for a full day only required a $5 fee from 20 attendees which to council did not seem like an excessive amount. Johnson was invited to make a formal presentation to council.

Council determined that there would be set styles for the memorial benches currently located along with Coronation walking path. The current

HANNA COUNCIL
Tax rate increase did not pass third reading Dena Clark
ECA Review reporter The two per cent mill rate increase, which was proposed and agreed upon by council on December 8, 2015 did not pass a required unanimous third reading by council during their regular meeting on Tues., May 10. Councillor Kruse was the sole opposition in passing the motion stating that “it was not the right economic climate to raise taxes”. CAO Kim Neill reminded Coun. Kruse that council had agreed to raise taxes this past December, and although they had hoped for an economic windfall to avoid that option, it did not occur. Councillor Preston said that although he didn’t want to raise taxes
either, that it was “more palatable to do a two per cent raise now than 10 per cent later”. The tax rate has not changed since 2010. Upon further discussion Coun. Kruse attempted to retract his third reading opposition however it was decided to table the discussion until the next meeting.
More information on fibre optics
Jason O’Connor from Axia: Fibre Optic Internet made Axia’s second presentation to council on Tues., May 10 to further the discussion about installing a fibre optic network in Hanna. Councillor Campion told council following the presentation that he “Won’t make a decision with no paperwork, no information, no plan on a 100 year
commitment without knowing what the information is about.” O’Connor said that Axia would provide Hanna with a municipal access agreement for the town to sign and once that first step is completed will initiate the process start on the engineering plans.
Tenant destroys house
Deb Sabine of Hanna requested that council waive the service fee to her 5th Ave. home in light of the fact that her last tenant destroyed her rental home. “It’s been trashed to the point where it may have to be demolished,” she told council. Sabine told council that she did not have the money to have it accessed to determine if the property needs to be condemned.
Delburne plan nears completion Debra Johnston
ECA Review reporter The Municipal Development Plan (MDP) for Delburne builds on the work of Belonging Delburne, explained Natasha Wright from Parkland Community Planning Services as she reviewed elements of the MDP with council at the May 10 regular meeting.
The MDP covers everything from economic development to Main Street design and redevelopment and is nearly complete. Prior public consultation has already taken place for the plan and the public will again be encouraged to participate once the final draft of the MDP is ready to be presented later this spring.
Phase one water line debenture to be paid off Cont’d from Pg 1 Darrin Newell, WSP updated council on the rural water strategy that was compiled for the county. Newell advised council that the Shirley McClellan Regional Water Services Commission (SMRWSC) does not recommend any hot tapping into the water line. There are eleven “T” connections located along the line that can be used for tie-ins to the water line and these have not been considered in the rural plan. The Coronation reservoir was designed with the intent to eventually feed Brownfield as the reservoirs were meant to serve the rural areas. Some funding from the Building Canada Grant was used to assist the county in getting water to Circle Square Ranch however the funding that was available was given out for existing infrastructure and not for new water lines. Council will be provided with a copy of the rural water strategy plan as presented for review and discussion at a later date. This baseline model can be utilized by staff to use with interested parties to determine water hook-ups. Coun. Dahmer also moved the County of Paintearth pay off the extra portion of phase one debenture of $80,000 from water restricted surplus due to the withdrawal of two members to the SMRWSC.
Proposal for new housing
Bylaw 1122/2016 to rezone a property on 24 Avenue across from Elk Haven from low density R1 to residential R2 passed first reading.

ON THE OTHER HAND
Lessons of history by B.P. Schimke Reinhold Niebuhr, an American theologian, said, “There are limits to our ability to shape other societies or even to fully anticipate the consequences of our actions.” The Middle East’s instability and the successive creation of newer and more violent groups, ISIS, al-Qaeda, Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas and the PLO are the unanticipated consequences referred to by Niebuhr. Between the Ottoman, British, French, Americans, Germans (under Kaiser Wilhelm II and Adolf Hitler) and Russia (under the Tzars and the communists), the peoples of the Middle East have been colonized, divided as spoils to victors after both world wars, oppressed and left in poverty while their puppet leaders are lavished with wealth and weapons by the West and Russia. Arabs, Persians, Muslims, Christians, Kurds, Turks, Palestinians, Azeris, Jews and Armenians (to name just a few religious and ethnic groups in the Middle East) through the centuries have had tense relationships but also understanding amongst the various tribes. There truly have been peaceful times between Christians and Muslims. Although there has always been fairly high tensions between the two Muslim groups, the Shia and the Sunni.

But the region became a powder keg after what could be called the worst decision ever made by Britain and the United States. Canadian, Australian, British and American governments today are quite pro-Jewish, but that was not the case after World War II. With millions of Jewish refugees fleeing Germany there was not one ally country willing to allow a massive immigration of Jews into their lands. The in-conceived solution by the U.S. and Britain was to scoop ancient Palestinian land and create an European Jewish state in the middle of a region with thousands of years’ history of multiple religions and tribes. Middle Eastern Jews, Christians, Muslims co-existed for centuries, but now a totally different culture (Europe) not just a religion, was thrust upon the region and then armed to the gills with the latest state-of-the-art weaponry. By taking away traditional lands and creating an European Jewish state, the Middle East was to become a forever powder keg.

The British spent much of their colonization days believing that they were the finest race in the world and the more of the world that they inhabited the better the world would be. But during their days of colonization, they raped the occupied countries of their resources, lived as kings and queens in armed compounds while the masses were slaves and continued to live in extreme poverty. The Americans are the same in believing they are the greatest nation on earth and everyone should feel privileged to have their friendship. However, their history of manipulating and/or overthrowing governments for their own economic purposes have left behind violence and poverty in many of the Middle East and Third World countries they supposedly befriended. People like Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump want you to believe that the “only reason we have ISIS today is because of Hilary Clinton and President Obama,” which shows complete ignorance of history. Ironically Trump followers are feeling the same way as many Arabs and Palestinians have felt after years of being controlled by puppet leaders who have done little to bring the masses up out of poverty. Trump is feeding on the anger of a huge swath of Americans who once held good-paying factory and manufacturing jobs. He blames the immigrants but, of course, that is far from the truth. It has been the policies of successive American governments since the time of Ronald Reagan that has pushed so many people from the middle class into poverty. Through the policies of neo-liberalism (free trade, low taxes and de-regulation), the U.S. is moving economically towards a third world status. The very rich holding the vast majority of the wealth (again, ironically Donald Trump being one of main beneficiaries of neo-liberal polices), a shrinking and indebted middle class and a growing, angry class of poor people. It appears that Donald Trump doesn’t care how he becomes President. If his ticket to victory means stirring up hatred, racism and angry amongst disenfranchised American citizens, he seems more than willing to be a participant. But what Donald Trump may not realize, if elected, his angry group of gun-toting Americans will want changes and for anybody who understands the American political system, the only two things a President has absolute power over are starting wars and vetoing a bill. Mr. Trump and his gang need to be very mindful of the words of Reinhold Niebuhr. If he is elected, unfortunately there will be significant consequences to his election campaign actions and those consequences will not only affect peace in America, but Canada and the entire world.

A view of the Fort McMurray fire from evacuee, Jade Hiscock’s home on Tues., May 3. ECA Review/Submitted
‘From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Coronation!’ Dena Clark
ECA Review reporter Fort McMurray evacuee, Jade Hiscock and her seven year old daughter escaped with only their two dogs and each a grocery bag full of clothes, she said during an interview with the ECA Review on Thur. May 12 having arrived just three days earlier. “I was petrified, I think I have run out of tears because I have cried so much,” she continued. “I was in Coronation last summer visiting my step-brother, Will Noseworthy and his family, and loved it,” she replied with asked why she came to Coronation. Hiscock first left her Gregire (a suburb of Fort McMurray) home on Sun., May 1 at 11:30 p.m. following a mandatory evacuation for her area issued by the Fort McMurray mayor. Police had been stationed on every other block and the radio had 20 minute interval updates. She packed up her daughter, her two dogs and a bag of clothes and went to stay with a family member on the other side of town where the fires had not yet become problematic.
LETTERS POLICY • Letters to the Editor are welcomed • Must be signed and a phone number included so the writer’s identity can be verified. • ECA Review reserves the right to edit letters for legal considerations, taste and brevity. Letters and columns submitted are not necessarily the opinion of this newspaper.
By 3:30 a.m. that same night the mayor apologized on behalf of the municipality for over reacting and told residents they could return to their homes. Hiscock returned home and opted to keep her daughter home from school both Monday and Tuesday due to the fact that her daughter suffers from severe asthma. Hiscock, however, did not spend long in her home before a second mandatory evacuation was issued. Once again she packed up the crew, along with her emergency bag headed towards Hwy #63, which she said was a five minute drive from her home. However upon being only three car lengths away from the turn off, the police announced that the integrity of Hwy #63 had been compromised due to a fire had that already reached the other side of the southbound highway. She was then redirected to Hwy #69, which Hiscock claimed is a dead-end road that only leads to the airport. She spent the next several hours, along with countless other vehicles in a holding pattern while fire crews attacked the flames on the main southbound traffic artery. Turn to Stuck, Pg 16

KNEEHILL COUNTY
Generous support for communities Debra Johnston
ECA Review reporter Kneehill County council approved a generous $25,000 donation for the Fort McMurray relief efforts at the May 10 regular meeting. The donation will go to the Red Cross in order to maximize matching provincial and federal donations.
Lodge renovations approved The $35,200 cost to renovate a
dining room at the Westview Care Community Seniors Lodge in Linden, Ab. will be covered by Kneehill County. Council opted to use the remaining $26,193 from Community Grants to Non Profits and another $9,006 from operating contingency to fund the project. The renovations include new windows, flooring, railings, lights, wall vinyl to withstand wheelchair scrapes, tables, chairs and a steam table.
Mowing continues
For now, Kneehill County will continue to mow grounds at Three Hills Airport at no cost to the town but the Airport Committee will meet to review that practice. Manager of Park and Agricultural Services Bowen Clausen presented council with options of how to deal with the yearly increase of area the county mows.

Fiery debate fills Stettler County council chambers Debra Johnston
ECA Review reporter Despite signing on to the new Councillor Code of Conduct at the beginning of the May 11 regular meeting, some Stettler County councillors had difficultly abiding by the Code. While Bylaw 1557-16, which provides for rules of conduct for councillors in every aspect from confidentiality to code of ethics, was passed at the Apr. 13 regular meeting, the official signing was conducted on May 11. Yet some councillors fell short of the mark with respect to the Code, directing barbs at each other and one councillor publicly admonishing administration. As part of the Municipal Government Act Review, all municipalities are required to adopt a code of conduct that addresses councillor accountability and conduct. All but two councillors signed on to abide by the code of conduct. Councillor Dave Grover declared that he would not sign, stating that is was “a gag order”. In a phone call with CAO Tim Fox, Fox confirmed that Coun. Ernie Gendre had also not yet returned a signed document but that both councillors were free to do so at any time given there is no time limit for signing.
Legal action threatened
New shop on hold again
Second and third reading of Bylaw 1564-16 to authorize borrowing for the new county shop was delayed until May 25.

the county, issued a letter to council stating they did not tender the work properly. At the meeting, Marshall took the decision personally, “You know how long it took me to figure out you screwed me over? Thirty-five seconds!” Reeve Wayne Nixon countered that the county had realized their mistake and took action to rescind the contract. “We will re-tender or whatever it takes to rectify the situation,” stated Nixon Marshall was not satisfied, “What I’m hearing then that it was a simple mistake? It stinks!” Nixon took issue with Marshall’s shots, “Earl, you know you’re out of line by addressing council that way. Respect works both ways.” To which Marshall countered before leaving council chambers, “Respect is earned. Don’t talk to me about respect! Sir we will see you in court!” Following the exchange, council directed administration to seek legal advice over the matter.

Cards of Thanks
IT’S BEEN A long hard journey, but finally two and a half years after the flood, we are finally back in our house in High River. Our home was severely damaged with two feet of water on the main floor. Our insurance covered the rebuild and contents of the basement up to grade, since damage was caused by sewer back-up. There was no coverage for the main floor, garage, or exterior damages, since this was caused by overland flooding. It has been an extremely stressful time in our lives but
our family would not have been able to manage without the thoughtfulness and generosity of our friends, family and many total strangers in the Brownfield and surrounding areas. We are forever grateful for all the donations and even though we left the area in 1994, it still feels like we remain part of this wonderful community. With love and thanks, Ron and Kathy Andrews and family THE FAMILY of Judi (Clark) Toivanen wish to express our deepest and sincerest “Thank You” to all for being a part of Jude’s life. She loved her friends and family and wanted to be a part of everything she could. She climbed many hills and crossed many valleys, but she never gave up. Thank you for attending her memorial services, for the many expressions of sympathy, cards, gifts and food, memorial donations and “hugs”. Special “Thank you” to Barb and Elaine for speinding extra time with Jude. To all the nieces and nephews for their help, tributes and music. Your song was beautiful Paula. The Stampede Barn was a perfect setting. Jude would have loved the get together with all her friends and family and the balloon send off was so special. She left us with heavy hearts but many memories and we know she is at peace. We will always love her. Thank you to Reverend Heather Carlson for her guidance and kind words, to Howard McKee for his help, Tannis and her crew for the great lunch and everyone who brought squares. A million thanks to all. Love from the Clark and Tiovanen Families.

re you looking to earn some money this summer? You can become an entrepreneur! That’s a person who starts a business. Fill in the missing vowels to discover some ideas for types of businesses YOU can start this summer!
An entrepreneur (on-trah-preh-nyur) is a person who sees a way to earn some money by solving a particular problem. For example, lots of kids have learned that thirsty people on hot days will pay for a cold glass of lemonade. Can you see the job opportunity in each of these pictures? Look at each picture. What problems do you see here? What kind of help might they be willing to pay for?
One way to make money is to get a job. But that is not possible for everyone. Often times kids can’t get jobs because they are too young. But that hasn’t stopped kids around the world from finding clever ways of earning some cash. Some kids, like Jason, turn doing something they love into a way of earning money. Look at each of the following pictures. Write down ways a business you could start might be able to help.

Her priority was her family Cont’d from Pg 12 Her love of books, extensive knowledge and understanding of characters and words made her the solid core of our group. She truly believed Dr.Seuss’s quotation about the importance of reading and exploring our world through books. Gladys spent countless hours researching information about the Schlemp/Slemp family and located ancestors going back eight generations to the late 1600s. In the preface of the extensive volume she published, she stated: “To know where you’re going you must first know from where you came.” She also stated: “I expect that this consuming pastime of “digging for our roots “ will consume much of my remaining years.” Her trip with Kerri to Ireland to learn more about her Cowan and Switzer roots was a memorable experience for both Kerri and her mom. She posted on the internet an open offer to help strangers by locating headstones at the Coronation Cemetery and trying to find obituaries. I know she made many friends through her interest in genealogy and the courses she taught through Further Education. She assisted many adopted people to find their birth families using her Genealogical skills. Music has always been important to both Skip and Gladys. He and Cecil encouraged Sadie and Gladys to take music lessons for three years in Stettler when Kerri was quite young. Sadie played the sax and Gladys the clarinet. Sadie said Gladys was a wonderful listener and so honest and trustworthy. Gladys has been described by her friends as an elegant yet feisty lady who was interested in the world and in politics. Her routine included reading at least two daily newspapers. She was up to date on the latest technology texting family and skyping with grand and great grandchildren whom she adored! Gladys was a happy, positive person whose priority was her family, her friends, her pets (including tiny Meeka), her community and her garden. Rick remembers the summer he and Skip dug out the water garden and worked so hard to make the Slemp backyard a piece of heaven, a safe spot for bluejays, woodpeckers, hummingbirds and those hated crows! Gladys had a green thumb and grew beautiful roses, clematis and peonies. She and Skip treasured winning the 1992 Beautification Residential Award presented by the Coronation Chamber of Commerce. We will remember Gladys as a wonderful friend to many. We will miss her giggles, laugh and enjoyment of a good joke. She was a faithful member of the 55+ Bible Study Group and appreciated their support and encouragement to know Our Lord. At our March Book Club, hosted by Gladys, we discussed “The Nightingale “ by Kristen Hannah. One of the characters commented: “You are my sunlight in the dark and the ground beneath my feet.” To each of Gladys’s family, this summarizes how important and loved each of you were to her. She enriched the lives of countless people but now it is time to bid farewell. Gladys is survived by her mother, Helen Neal, her daughters: Tracy (Dwayne) Reberger, and her children Kristin (Kris) Kremp ((Isabella and Tye)) and Logan Graham, Marla (Curtis) Rush and her son Travis; Kerri (James) McPhee and her daughters, Rebecca and Lauren; and her son Rick (Sandra) Slemp and her daughters Melissa, Alicia and Amber ((Mia)); sister, Bonnie Stephenson, brother

Ken (Dolores) Neal, sister-in-law Tina Fox, brother-in-law, Buzz Slemp; as well as numerous nieces and nephews and many dear friends. Gladys was predeceased by her husband Richard “Skip” Slemp on October 24, 2009; her grandparents George and Lily Price, stepfather Ray Neal and brother, Ross Neal. Gladys Muriel Slemp passed away in Red Deer Regional Hospital on May 5th, 2016 at the age of 78 years. A funeral service for Gladys was held on Friday, May 13, 2016, 2 p.m., at the Coronation Community Centre with Pastor Clayton Grice officiating.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for thei expressions of sympathy through flowers, cards, phone calls, hugs, food dropped off at the house, lawn maintenance, attendance at the funeral and memorial donations. Your support will always be remembered. Mom loved the supportive community she lived in and her friends and the groups she belonged to which brought her many hours of shared laughter, discussions and debates. You were always there for her, which allowed her to continue to live so independently. Pastor Grice, we thank you for your kindness and compassion for mom and the family. The ladies of the Evangelical Free Church for the wonderful lunch you provided after the service. Pat Watson for sharing such a memorable eulogy and Barbie, Margaret and Brenda for your gift of music. Heather Caseley and the The recycling Coronation Funeral Home, roundup is on! for your patience and professionalism, caring about the smaller meaningful things, and providing such a beautiful service. You are family. A special thanks to the Gerber’s for keeping up the yard maintenance. A simple thank you to everyone will never be enough, but is meant with the utmost gratitude.

Nancy Tainsh was born on November 22, 1919 to Smith and Emma Hill. She grew up with her two brothers, Vincent and Leslie, and her sister, Frances, north of Monitor. She attended Camrose Normal School to further her education to become a teacher. She started her teaching career in a variety of different schools until she married Otto Seim in 1944. Together they were blessed with five children; Connie, Larry, Corinne, Norma and Arnold while they farmed in the Antelope Park district. In the fall of 1960, Nancy took a job offer in Altario, Ab. where all her children were able to finish their schooling. Otto passed away in 1963. After marrying Les Hawtin in 1970, Nancy took a teaching position in Consort. Sadly, Les passed away
shortly after the move. She continued her teaching career until she met her new love…Doug Tainsh. Doug brought many years of love and joy to Nancy’s life. At the Tainsh farm with Jim, Donna, Nonavee, Palmer and Dawn, she became grandma to many more people. She continued her life in Consort with Doug until he passed on. She later moved to Stettler where she resided until her passing on May 10, 2016. Turn to So, Pg 15

Council cautioned to interpret financial statements as a whole
Cont’d from Pg 7 Debt limit The village’s total debt limit available in 2015 was $1,975,252 and in 2014 it was $2,664,985. The total debt-servicing limit available in 2015 for Alix was $520,739 compared with $575,280 in 2014. But Luymes cautions in his report to the village that the calculation alone doesn’t represent the financial stability of the municipality but rather the financial statements must be interpreted as a whole. In his report, Luymes said, “The budget adopted by council on May 6, 2015, was not prepared on a basis consistent with that used to report actual results (Public Sector Accounting Standards). The budget was prepared on a modified accrual basis while Public Sector Accounting Standards now require a full accrual basis. Luymes said, “The budget anticipated use of surpluses accumulated in previous years to fund current year operation and capital activities. Amortization was not budgeted. The budget expenses all tangible capital expenditures.”
Village passes 2016 budget
The Village of Alix passed its 2016 capital and operating budget May 4 with a 2.99 per cent increase in taxes. “Council wanted to keep it (increase) under three per cent,” said acting Chief Administrative Officer Tanya Meston. The 2016 budget includes $1,629, 881 in revenue ($863,735 in residential taxes; $284,398 in commercial taxes; $472,957 in industrial taxes; $26,635 – power and pipe; and $2,155 in federal
grants in lieu). Other taxes include $42,000 for Atco franchise payment and $185,474 for Fortis franchise fee. Other revenue include: penalties $50,000; penalties and costs utilities $5,000; investments $5,000 and miscellaneous revenue $15,000. The village budgeted $426,564 for general administration expenses for 2016. In 2015 council budgeted $436,216 for general admin expenses and the actual was $471,224. Medical building expenses were budgeted at $3,554 for 2016, down from $9,362 in 2015. Council budgeted $411,353 for the youth centre in 2016 and $43,759 for fire protection. Other items in the 2016 budget include: public works $302,266; streets and roads - $340,829; recreation - $196,426; campground $77,401; trail - $43,656; arena - $52,959; parks - $52,286; library - $25,444; and community hall - $8,350. Council budgeted $111,711 for sewer (lift station) in 2016. The village’s 10-year capital budget shows $1,755,000 budgeted for sewer.
Aging infrastructure to cost
Breunig of MPE Engineering told council that the village needs to do projects every few years in the coming decades to catch up to repairs of its aging infrastructure.

So much more Cont’d from Pg 14 It wasn’t because she was an artist, had a love for travel, a green thumb, or that she was selfless, kind and generous…it wasn’t even because she was patient, hospitable and mild mannered, or that she was morally strong and a firm believer in family ties...it’s not even the fact that she was non-judgmental, noncomplaining and a keeper of secrets…it is because she was all of these and so much more that made her such a remarkable lady. We were truly lucky to call her our mother. Predeceased by her husband and father of her children, Otto Seim; husbands, Les Hawtin and Doug Tainsh; son, Larry Seim; grandson, Ryan Seim; step daughter-in-law, Donna Tainsh; and step son-in-law, John Cowan.
