“At least no one can complain,” was the response from council when no residents came to the public hearing held prior to the regular meeting of Coronation town council on April 27.

The public hearing was held for the purpose of considering an amendment to the Town’s Land Use Bylaw 2009-559 that had been brought as information at the last meeting.

The new bylaw, 2015-632 was given first reading at the April 13 council meeting.

Changes included: the addition of definitions of digital sign, medical marijuana production facility and communication tower, amendments to land use districts including minimum gross floor area requirements for C-1 and C-2 commercial transition districts.

It also included amendments to manufactured homes, the deletion of fire pits in general land use regulations, the addition of digital signs, medicinal marijuana production facilities, communication towers and demolition or removal of buildings.

Along with the handout that council had prepared for residents, should they have attended the meeting was a map showing changes to land use for the Turn to Property, Pg 7 district.

Kneehill County will hold line on residential taxes Debra Johnston

ECA Review Reporter Kneehill County council has agreed not raise residential taxes this year but will raise non-residential rates by .5 mill to 12.73077 from the current 12.23077, council decided

at the Apr. 26 meeting.

“We made it clear that we weren’t going to raise taxes,” stated Coun.

Carol Calhoun, in reference to a commitment made to ratepayers over construction costs for the new administration/medical building.

year, pointed out Calhoun. The admin/medical building and renewal of county roads will utilize those reserves.

“Those reserves were established to do exactly what we are doing this year,” said Reeve Bob Long.

The .5 mill increase in

non-residential taxes will bring in an additional $887,715 to county coffers.

Hundreds attend funeral for victims of triple-homicide Lisa Joy

ECA Review reporter The Castor Community Hall was packed with mourners paying their last respects to Gordon Douglas Klaus, 61, Sandra Norma (Berry) Klaus, 62, and their adult daughter Monica Dale Klaus, 40, 17 months after they were murdered.

All the chairs in the hall were filled and many stood, leaning against walls for the hour-long service May 2 with Rev. Barbara Zimmerman officiating.

People hugged and passed around tissues as they gathered to remember the Klaus family. A musical selection, Dolly Parton’s “I will Always Love You,” opened the ceremony.

Eulogy for Gordon

Marilyn Thomson, Gordon Klaus’ sister, gave the eulogy for Gordon Klaus, born July 12, 1952. She remembered him as a “great athlete” playing basketball and hockey who liked to hunt and fish and was involved in the 4H Club. She said Gordon had a wonderful sense of humour and never missed an opportunity to play jokes or a prank.

Thomson recalled one of Gordon’s favourite tricks while hunting. He would put grease on the eyepieces of binoculars so when someone used them they would have two black circles around their eyes.

Thomson described her brother as someone who worked hard and was dedicated to his family.

She said Gordon’s wife Sandi “was an absolute angel. She was kind and tender hearted.”

Thomson said Monica was vibrant,

strong and fun loving and had her father’s sense of humour and her mother’s smile.

“I miss them more than words can ever express,” said Thomson.

Gordon Klaus attended school in Castor from Grades 1 – 11 and took his Grade 12 at Lindsay Thurber in Red Deer. He married Sandi March 19, 1971.

Eulogy for Sandi

Grant Berry gave the eulogy for his sister Sandra Klaus born May 10, 1951 in Stettler.

Sandra (Sandi) attended high school in Castor and Stettler and went on to work for Alberta Government Telephones as an operator and then at Alberta School Hospital in Red Deer. After her children were grown, Sandi worked at Our Lady of the Rosary Hospital in Castor, which she loved.

Thomson recalled how much Sandi enjoyed her red Mustang when she was young. He said Sandi and Gordon were high school sweethearts and their first child, Lisa Marie was born March 19, 1971 and they married April 28, 1972.

But tragedy struck the young couple with the loss of their daughter Lisa Marie Thanksgiving Day 1973 in a farm accident.

“It was a difficult time,” said Berry.

Eulogy for Monica

Nicole Thomson gave the eulogy for her Aunt Monica Klaus, who was born May 29, 1973.

Monica grew up on the Klaus family farm and attended school in Castor. She was active in sports, pitching for the girl’s baseball team. She was also a figure

skater. She worked part-time throughout high school at Our Lady of the Rosary Hospital.

After graduating she attended Red Deer College and received her paralegal assistant certificate. She worked at a lawyer’s office in Stettler and as payroll administrator at Vortex. She was known for her strong work ethic and was happy she could take her best pal Patches to work.

Sandi and Patches spent many weekends at the family farm helping with calving, branding, cattle drives and chores. Monica liked to deer hunt with her family and was always looking for the trophy buck.

Community support

Gordon’s brother Robert Klaus also gave a tribute. He thanked the fire department for their efforts battling the house fire. He thanked the community members for their concern and support.

“The community was amazing, people were cooking, donating and there were many, many phone calls and it was overwhelming, continuously, and people were always looking to help and they did an awful lot.”

He also commended the RCMP for their investigative work, bringing in the dive team from B.C. and helping the community feel safe.

“I appreciate the RCMP looking over the town of Castor and the community.

That’s what Gordon and Sandi would have wanted.”

Klaus said the death of Lisa in 1973 knocked the wind out Gordon and Sandi’s and the rest of the family’s sails for a long

Gordon and Sandi Klaus, and their daughter Monica, are survived by their son/brother Jason Gordon Klaus, who was arrested last August and faces three counts of first-degree murder and arson in connection with his family’s deaths Dec. 8, 2013. His co-accused is Joshua Gregory Frank of Castor.

After the funeral service a private interment was held at the Castor Municipal Cemetery.

“Gordie, Sandi, Monica, Lisa Marie, rest in peace,” said Robert Klaus at the end of the service.

ECA Review/Submitted

Hobby horses completed Submitted The grade 7 class at Coronation School worked for three weeks to complete their hobby horses.

They began with drawing and cutting out the horse heads using the jig saw.

Following that, students rasped the edges and sanded them. Next, they drilled holes for the handles and the body dowel. After that came the staining.

Coronation/Stettler, Ab

Everybody then custom painted the eyes, ears, nostrils and bridle. To protect the finish, two coats of polyurethane were applied. Finally, different colored yarn hair was attached using carpet tacks.

While some students chose to buy their own hobby horses, others sold them for the low cost of $10. There may be one or two horses left for purchase if anyone wishes to buy them.

Cont’d from Pg 1 With over 500 miles of dirt trails throughout the county, the committee will be responsible for bringing recommendations to council regarding their upkeep.

Currently, dirt trail blading occurs twice a year depending on time and road conditions. Some have been graveled which causes them to appear as improved road, according to CAO Al Hoggan.

“We have to do a better job of identifying our roads,” stated Deputy Reeve Jerry Wittstock, explaining that dirt trails need to be marked as such on maps.

Laurie Watt, Director of Municipal Services, who presented the terms of reference to council for the dirt trail committee, stated that administration is currently working towards identifying all roads and their conditions.

Coun. Calhoun has heard from ratepayers that many dirt trails receive harsh use beyond their purpose as access to fields and industrial sites.

STARS get support

With over 27,000 missions flown in its 30-year existence, STARS has become a leader in critical health care, stated Glenda Farnden, Senior Municipal Relations Liaison for STARS. Farnden attended the council meeting to update council on STARS activities and petition for financial support from the county.

STARS operates six bases across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and averages seven missions per day. In Alberta, there is no cost to recipients of the service.

Alberta Health Services funds approximately 20 per cent or nearly $7 million of STARS total costs for the three Alberta bases, with the remainder made up from fundraising and community contributions. Each base costs about $10 million to operate.

Kneehill County approved a contribution for $3000 per year for the next five years.

OpiniOn

Brenda Schimke ECA Review

This editorial goes to press hours before the final results of the Alberta Election will be determined. By the time this is read, Albertans will be settling into another four years of Progressive Conservative rule, a minority government or a new government entirely.

In 1971 it was upstart Peter Lougheed and the Progressive Conservatives that surprised the old and tired government by sweeping into power and ending the 36-year dynasty of the Social Credit Party.

Former Premier Ernst Manning’s seat in Edmonton had, the year before, been snapped up by the Lougheed team in a by-election so the writing had been on the wall.

I remember my great uncle Robert English, who lived in Edmonton, extolling the need to get rid of the Socreds and elect a new party. At the time, as a campaigner and supporter of Social Credit candidate, Ralph Sorensen, father of current day MP, Kevin Sorenson, I thought his comments were treasonous.

Remember, I was only 17 and devastated by the end of the Socred dynasty having somehow come to believe that the Socreds held the higher moral ground and should be ordained to govern forever.

But in retrospect, a change in government was exactly what Alberta needed and Peter Lougheed unquestionably was the perfect leader for Alberta in 1971. He turned the province’s fortunes around by increasing royalties substantially and Albertans became true owners of their natural resources until Premier Klein gave them away again.

The other reality I learned was that it should not come as a surprise that Edmontonians are the first to vote against incumbent governments because they, as a collective group, are much closer to the workings of government. They see the nepotism of old tired governments and entitled MLAs long before it reaches the rest of the province.

Yet even more fascinating in this year’s election campaign was that the ND platform was virtually identical to the Peter Lougheed Progressive Conservative platform in 1971. The Progressive Conservative, Conservative and Wildrose Parties have jumped so far to the right in the last 20 years, that the ND’s are now the party that has captured the middle of the political spectrum.

And although mathematically the ND’s popular vote is highly unlikely to translate into a majority government, it certainly explains why the “not so scary left” has become a formidable force in Alberta.

Online poll In last week’s poll we asked: Should small towns and villages amend bylaws to accommodate bylaw infractions by growing businesses to try and keep them in the community?

4 votes - yes, we should do whatever we can to keep businesses 5 vote - yes, within reason 12 vote - no, bylaws are there for a reason zero votes - I have no opinion

MAIL BAG

Such a friendly community Dear Editor, I was disappointed when I read the article in “viewpoints” in the East Central Alberta Review last week that told of Heisler being unfriendly and the individual telling people to not move here.

I’ve never lived in such a friendly community.

I have lived in Nova Scotia, in the U.S. and in numerous towns in Alberta and I’ve never lived in a friendlier place…I’m speaking as a senior.

Potential unclaimed benefits

by Leon Benoit, Member of Parliament “Families in VegrevilleWainwright with children under 18 are eligible to receive money under our proposed enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB), but are at risk of not receiving the benefit unless they apply,” explained Leon Benoit, Member of Parliament.

“That is why I’m asking for help from the media and the public to ensure families are aware they should apply for the benefit.”

The majority of families with children, approximately 3.8 million, are known and will automatically receive the enhanced UCCB or be contacted by the Government to confirm their information.

However, many eligible families are not currently captured by the Government’s UCCB system and may miss out on receiving money that is owed to them unless they apply. In 2015 alone, this represents potentially millions of dollars in

unclaimed benefits.

Under the proposed enhancements to the UCCB, families would receive almost $2,000 per year for each child under 6 and $720 per year for each child aged 6 through 17.

The new benefit amounts are retroactive to January 1, 2015 and will be reflected in monthly payments to families in July 2015.

The proposed enhancements to the UCCB are expected to more than double the number of families that benefit from 1.6 million to more than 4 million.

“We want to ensure that every family with children receives the enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit.

“If you’ve got kids under 18, you qualify. It doesn’t matter how much you make or the type of child care you choose. Apply now so you can receive this money.”

If your family is not currently receiving the UCCB, has never received the UCCB, or has never applied for the Canada Child Tax

Council May update

Members of the 4H Brownfield Multi Club pick up litter on Hwy 872 between Coronation and Brownfield. The group was part of the Annual Highway Cleanup Program on May 2, a fundraising event for 4H groups. From left, Amber Burkinshaw, 17, Edita Cole, Katelyn Thomas, 10 and Hanna Kroeker, 9 all members of the Brownfield 4H Multi Club.

ECA Review/B. Causley

Helping to keep highways clean Beth Causley

ECA Review Reporter The 4H clubs were out in full force on May 2 to clean up the highways by picking up litter. The Brownfield Multi Club along with members from Coronation and Hughenden groups walked along highway 872 with bright orange safety vests on and bright orange garbage bags in their hands, picking up litter along the way.

The Brownfield Multi Club group walked from Zingers to Fairfield Road picking litter up of both sides of the highway and would be walking about nine km to where a vehicle was waiting. The 4H groups hoped to cover 36 km of road, completing both sides, meaning that the participants would cover a total of 72 km.

The groups were ending the day with a barbeque at Burma Park.

The group was part of the Annual Highway Cleanup Program, a fundraising event for 4H groups, held on the first or second Saturday in May, as weather permits. The group makes money by bringing in all recyclable items they gather to the Bottle Depot for refund and also gets paid

by Alberta Transportation.

Payment is made on a per kilometer basis at different rates for urban, rural and special areas. An urban rate is $100/ km of highway right-of-way cleaned on both sides. This rate applies to all

roadways within 16 kms of an urban center that has a population of over 5,000 due to large quantities of garbage.

The special area rate is $100/km. The department identifies all special area roadways prior to cleanup registration day. The rural rate is $55/km. on all other roadways.

Clubs may request certain sections of highways, but award depends on availability (first come first serve basis). The amount of kilometres awarded will depend on the number of participants.

Alberta Transportation recommends one kilometre for every two participants. For example if an organization has 20 participants then the maximum number of kilometres awarded will be approximately 10.

Participants must be at least nine years of age with suggested supervision of one adult for every two children under the age of 14.

Filled garbage bags are placed along the outer edge of the highway shoulders and will be disposed of by the Alberta Transportation maintenance contractor.

Alberta Transportation supply all necessary materials including safety manuals, safety vests and garbage bags.

Although the program was originally established for associations such as the 4H and Scouts, all groups and clubs are now encouraged to participate.

Desire to implement best practices Cont’d from Pg 3 d.) Is not to enter the Kneehill County Public Works Shop, or any other Kneehill County facility with the exception of the Kneehill County main office reception area, Council Chamber, Chief Administrative Officer’s office, and any other area of the main office used for personal hygiene.

-The third motion was to request a Ministerial inquiry into Councillor Bobby Painter’s conduct as a Councillor of Kneehill County, under the Municipal Government Act, R.S.A. 2000 Chapter M-26, 572(2)(b).

Councillor Painter was previously warned about acting outside the bounds of Council procedures as defined in the Municipal Government Act. On August 5, 2014, Council passed a motion directing administration to

remove Councillor Painter from all Committees and Boards, and removing authorization for his attendance at any conference, convention or any other event representing Kneehill County.

Councillor Painter remains under this censure, however he retains all of his duties as a Councillor, including as a voting member of Council, as well as communicating with and representing ratepayers.

Reeve Long indicated that a disruption of Council had now been expanded to create a disruption for staff, which affected the overall operations of the County.

It is Council’s desire to implement best practices and work towards a common vision for the Kneehill County community. For Council contact information, please contact the Kneehill County Office.

Sara Craigie, girl in braids, was one of 34 who participated in a mission trip in March 2015 to tijuana, Mexico. a couple days of the mission trip was spent in an orphanage playing, praying and teaching the children about Jesus.

Trip changes lives On March 26, 1915 a team of people from the Brownfield area converged upon the cities of San Diego, California and Tijuana, Mexico. As these people embarked upon this journey, they hoped that they would be able to make a huge difference in the lives of the people that they were going to help. However, this trip ended up changing their lives...

“It’s inevitable that you go on trips like this with intentions to serve and to help out, but it’s always the case that you get blessed more than you’re able to bless others. This trip changed a lot of lives – but mostly our own lives,” says Kendra Price, who co-led this trip with her husband, Clayton.

“From start to finish, this trip was

Before the team left, they participated in two huge fundraisers – an online silent auction and a live event at Brownfield Baptist Church. The money that was raised, helped to alleviate participants’ costs, and helped out various organizations in Mexico.

“On this trip, we worked in an orphanage for a couple of days,” said Clayton Price. Because of our fundraising efforts, we were able to leave a generous donation with the orphanage.

Hughenden school students win speaking competition

by Susan Campbell Several students were judged for their speaking skills on April 21 with the winners going on to participate in the Superintendent’s Speaking Competition which was held in Vermilion April 28.

Congratulations to Ethan Dambrowsky in the Elementary division and DarbyAnne Swanson in the Junior High division. Accolades are also given to Kendra Holte for coming in a close second and Maja Congdon in third place for the elementary level.

The student body heard from Provincial candidates Blake Prior and Wes Taylor on April 21 where students had an opportunity to ask questions. Next week students will participate in a student vote and it will be interesting to see how our results align with the final provincial results. We encourage all to be active citizens, become informed and vote.

Art teacher, Lara Ledger has been pulling lots of art talent out of certain high school and grade 9 students. Several pieces of work were displayed at the MAD (Music Art and Drama) event in Wainwright.

Forty-three students from Hughenden Public, Provost Public and one student from Mannville (vidcon student) travelled to Edmonton on April 24 for a high school science field trip.

The day started at Canadian Blood Services where 14 donations of blood were given. Students were given a presentation on blood and blood products, a tour of the facility and everyone had their blood typed.

The Stem Cell One Match presentation was also given to students. An impressive 16 students committed to the program by registering with their cheek swabs. The ideal candidate to be a stem cell donor is a male between the ages of 17-35.

We learned that if one has a bone marrow transplant, the recipient takes on the blood type of the donor! We also

learned that one patient’s hair turned from straight and blonde to dark and curly after the stem cell’s they received from their donor – interesting what incorporation of new DNA can do!

After a sponsored pizza lunch, pediatric cardiac specialist Dr. Joseph Pagano showed us the way to the MRI suite of the Mazankowski Heart Centre at the U of A Hospital. We received a tremendously interesting presentation on MRI technology, followed by seeing MRI in action and a competitive game of jeopardy reviewing all of the newly acquired knowledge we had gained.

Rounding off our day we received a presentation on pancreas islet cell isolation and transplantation to reverse diabetes.

Typically it takes 3-5 pancreas donors to provide sufficient cells for transplantation.

We also learned that the new cells are transplanted by catheter into the recipient’s liver. This was particularly relevant for the two diabetic students we had on the trip. All in all it was a great day of learning.

Badminton has officially finished and other athletic pursuits are well underway.

Several students are working on their track and field skills during extra coaching time after school.

Appreciation is extended to Ryan Duffett for being available to students to hone their athletic skills.

Grade 9 boys were invited by Wainwright on Wellness (WOW) to participate in a day for similar aged boys in the geographic area on April 28.

Workshops on positive relationships, alcohol and drug abuse, healthy sexual

relationships and decision making were some of the areas that students gathered information about.

A lot of group work and activities also were infused throughout the day.

Coronation students hold elections in their study of democracy Beth Causley

ECA Review Reporter Elections usually come and go without a thought given by many of our youth but not Dan Kinakin’s social studies class.

The grade 6 class at Coronation School is studying democracy and in the unit they are covering now they are focused on provincial government and concentrating on the provincial election.

The class was broken down into groups with each group giving a presentation on the six parties that are in the election; Alberta Party, Progressive Conservatives, WildRose, Liberal, New Democratic Party and the Green party.

The students began their presentations by telling the class who the leader of the party is and then continue by talking about the parties stand on issues and how they propose to deal with them. The issues that the students presented about were health, education, agriculture,

energy and the environment.

As students present Kinakin helps to explain the issues and makes them relevant to the students by giving examples that are specific to the popula-

tion living in the area.

The students all have a paper with the issues along the top and the parties listed along the side and as a group does their presentations, those in

the audience are encouraged to take notes or make checkmarks when there are points covered by the parties that are important to the student.

Kinakin set up a polling booth on May 5 where each student voted for the party they wished.

The class then counted the votes and will be comparing

RELENTLESS ON WEEDS. SAFE ON WHEAT. ™ FLUSH AFTER FLUSH CONTROL. With EVEREST® 2.0, no grower has to sacrifice yield or crop safety in order to control weeds in wheat. EVEREST 2.0 Herbicide, the new standard for grass control in wheat, has advanced safener technology built in to provide peace of mind while delivering long-lasting control of green foxtail, wild oats and key broadleaf weeds.

FLUSH AFTER FLUSH™ CONTROL LEADS TO BETTER YIELDS In University of Saskatchewan field trials, researchers found that regardless of conditions, EVEREST 2.0 delivered Flush after flush™ control of wild oats and green foxtail with no risk of injury symptoms. The crop was able to grow without adverse effects, thanks to the super selectivity of EVEREST 2.0 on all varieties of spring and durum wheat.

“We like that EVEREST 2.0 gives customers a wide application window that lets you spray at your earliest convenience, regardless of weather conditions,” says Kyle Lowery of CHS Canada LP. “Spraying early provides the best weed control, and with EVEREST 2.0, young wheat has the best chance to become established and reach its top

potential yield. And at the same time, if the rains come and the crop advances, EVEREST 2.0 is still safe to apply.”

BEST-IN-CLASS CONTROL OF GROUP 1 RESISTANT GRASSY WEEDS More and more, spring wheat growers in Western Canada are plagued with Group 1 resistant grassy weeds. As a Group 2 herbicide, EVEREST 2.0 is the best option for growers struggling with Group 1 resistance. It is the only group 2 herbicide that provides Flush after flush control 15051TA3 with unsurpassed crop safety.

EVEREST 2.0. A herbicide you can count on.

For more information on EVEREST 2.0 visit CHS Canada LP., or call 1-866-761-9397

CHS Canada LP. Alix, Alberta 403-747-3000

SUPERIOR FORMULATION AND CONVENIENCE “EVEREST 2.0 is an advanced, highly concentrated liquid formulation,” says Trent McCrea, Arysta LifeScience Marketing Manager, Herbicides.

“It’s a user-friendly, no-hassle product that wheat growers can rely on, with exceptional convenience and flexibility.” One 2-litre bottle will treat 80 - 100 acres for wild oats and green foxtail. In addition, the high-quality liquid formula with safener technology makes it compatible with multiple tank-mix partners.

Coronation/Stettler, Ab.

3.75” wide version

Support from church and community Cont’d from Pg 6 “We couldn’t have done this without the support of our church and our community.”

All together, 34 people connected to Brownfield Baptist Church went on this trip, mostly high school students from Brownfield, Coronation, Castor, Halkirk, and Amisk.

They left on three different flights – two leaving from Calgary, and one leaving from Great Falls, Montana. All of the participants were encouraged to stay focused on the right things during the trip.

Participants included: Al, Sylvia, Kyla, Julie, Samuel, Gweneth, and Kendra Richardson, Clayton Price, Jalycia, Jaydon and Kylan Huber, Sara Craigie, Isaac and Simon Cole, Luke Holte, Braiden Bowthorpe, Sonia Stolz, Deanna and Jenessa Dunkle, Zachary, Liam, Brennan, Haley and Patricia Grice, Judy McFarlen, Norman, Darolyn, Tanner and Michael Black, Jean Adair, Leland, Sherri, Sydney and Nate Creasy.

The following was a blog entry that the team’s leadership submitted before the team arrived in San Diego: “The way that we are trying to maintain proper focus on this trip - and something that we do every hour (on the hour), we call, ‘Jesus Hour’. What we simply do is have someone from the team share a verse or two from the Bible to help us “focus” our eyes on Jesus.

This has been a great thing to develop a sense of camaraderie on our team. One of the “Jesus Hours” that stands out today was a reminder to ‘not worry about our life - what we will eat, drink, or wear’.

Rather, we are to trust in God’s care and provision - and seek God above all. So far, this trip has been amazing! You can tell that it’s going to change a lot of lives - including our own...”

While in Mexico, the team volunteered at a Senior’s Complex, a local church, a Youth With A Mission base, and at the orphanage. One particular day, they served in an area of Tijuana called Zona Norte, which is the red light district in the city. During this time, it was apparent to see the affects of devastated lives in the form of drug addiction, prostitution, and poverty. The team members purchased fruit to distribute, struck up conversations on the street, prayed, and tried to be a bright light in the hours that they were there.

Clayton noted, “It was great to be a part of the hope and redemption that can be offered through Jesus, when we try to serve people with wisdom, grace, and compassion.”

Clayton noted that that day in particular, was a very gutwrenching day. It was difficult to see and experience some of the days’ activities. That evening, at the Youth With A Mission base, there was a huge party planned, for the dedication of a new building. Clayton

explained, “There was a Mariachi band, tacos for miles, churros, and our team had the opportunity to be a part of something very special! This was the same day as one of our team leaders’ 60th birthday, so we pretended that we planned the event for her. It turned out being a very challenging day, but it ended wonderfully!”

Clayton and Kendra Price explained that they will for sure be going on trips like this in the future. They indicated that the support that they got from everyone was very generous and overwhelming.

“It was great to be a part of something that everyone felt so strongly about,” said Kendra. “We want to change the world!

So, every little thing that we can do to make that happen, we want to be a part of it!”

If you’re interested in changing the world, and being a part of such a trip in the future, be sure to contact Clayton and Kendra Price.

No change in oil sands air quality - study

Residents in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region needn’t hold their breath about air pollution, says School of Public Health professor Warren Kindzierski.

Edmonton, AB Professor at the School of Public Health and nationally-recognized researcher Warren Kindzierski’s work shows little change in pollutant concentrations in Alberta’s Athabasca Oil Sands over the past 15 years.

Since 2000, Kindzierski has analyzed data on air pollutants such as fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide in three major communities in the region—Fort McKay, Fort McMurray and Fort Chipewyan.

His 15-year analysis indicates that air quality in the region is not a threat to public health.

ECA review

Coronation/Stettler, Ab.

For your mental health Beth Causley

ECA Review Reporter The rain held off for the Coronation mental health groups kickoff event held on May 3 which saw people walking from the water tower in town out to the dam where a barbeque was held.

Brad Johnston of Coronation, who heads up the group, started it as a way for people with mental health issues from Coronation and the surrounding area to allow people to gather together for socialization and support.

While the group started in April, they chose May 3 as a kickoff date to coincide with Mental Awareness Week which runs from May 4 -10.

The event saw around 50 people participating in the event which

also had a 50/50 draw and silent auction.

Johnston said that everything for the day had been donated and also said that the communities had been very generous donating money to the group which will go towards social activities, guest speakers and will also go towards course fees for Johnston to receive more training in the field.

“We’ve had interest in the group from communities as far as Stettler,” Johnston said, stating that there is a real need for a group like this as mental health professionals in the area are few and waiting lists are long.

“You can wait up to five weeks to see someone,” he said. A focus of the group is not only to help each other but also to get the word out

that rural areas need more mental health professionals.

The group handed out information sheets from Alberta Health Services about seven steps people can do to improve their mental health, including information about how food, music, exercise and acts of kindness can all improve mental health.

The group held a contest to come up with a name for the group and had 41 names suggested to them.

The winner was Janine Stannard of Coronation with the name SOSSharing Our Strengths. The winning name won $25 but Stannard donated it back to the group.

The group can be found on Facebook or you can call Johnston directly at 587-219-0527.

Minor Hockey season wind-up Submitted Another successful season has wrapped up for Hughenden Minor Hockey. Players greatly appreciate the huge commitment in volunteer time of the coaches, directors, managers and general executive that enable them to play the sport that they love.

Over the summer parents need to be reflecting upon a suitable candidate for the president position of Hughenden Minor Hockey. We also greatly appreciate the support of the community and business sponsorship in enabling our organization to provide organized physical activity for youth.

At the end of the season an appreciation and celebration evening was held at the hall. The generosity of Shelter Valley, who provided the burgers for the evening, was greatly appreciated.

This year’s midget team consisted of 16 players from Hughenden and Hardisty.

The team was coached by Derek Johnson, Justin Eldering and Wyman Pederson.

They had a very busy year playing a total of 42 games including pre-season, league, provincials and playoffs.

The team attended the provincial tournament in Beaverlodge where they had three close games, winning one and losing two.

In the North Central League regular season we had a record of 18-1-3, finishing first overall. We finished the year with an exciting double overtime win at home over Red Deer, the second double overtime win in the series to win the league championship! We wish Shelton Southoff, who played his last year of minor hockey, good luck with his post-secondary plans.

The Peewees main coach was Wade Lomheim, with assistance also from Stacy Swanson, Derek Johnson, Dustin Small and Peter Dyck. There were 12 players on the team.

They won the Tri-City Tournament,

earned second place in the Viking Tournament, finished in first place in the NCHMA League Tier 4, with a record of 17 wins and three losses.

The Atom level Hughenden Jets played in the tier 3 division of the NCMHA. We finished the regular season in first place with a 15-1-2 record.

Our playoff run had many hard fought battles which found our team in the league finals.

The championship series went down to game 3 of 3, which our team lost by a score of 4-3. It was a disappointing end, but still a very rewarding season.

Appreciation is extended to our coaches Quentin Motley, Corey Johnson and Brandon Penman.

Our Novice team had a fun year, with each player improving immensely over the season. Coach Wade Lomheim called it a building year and the team will be great next season. Good work team.

The initiation level was a fun team to be around. They were coached by Kevin Elliott, Lucas Almberg and others that lent a helping hand when needed. The players learned lots, tried hard and most of all had fun. The majority of the players were in their last year of initiation. They were expected to help the younger kids by leading by example.

The initiation team had a successful year and was very competitive in league play. We hope to see everyone out again next year.
