CORONATION
The crown town Dena Clark
ECA Review Reporter On Mon. Nov. 9 Allan Smith provided the Coronation town council with a brief update on the town’s public works, specifically the various preparations being done for the upcoming winter. Barry Brigley also was on hand to update council. His report included an overview of the town’s bowling program which will have eight adult teams, 16 youth members and 10 teams for Wednesday nights. A bowling clinic was held on Sun. Nov 8 and their first tournament of the season was held this past weekend. Brigley also said that 40 new chairs were purchased for the bowling alley hall. The new zamboni received a favourable report and suggestions were made by council to host a zamboni ride fundraiser later this year. Brigley said he hoped to learn within a day or so if the old zamboni was sold to the town of Consort. The rink’s roof has still not yet been fixed with concerns about the delay causing potential water damage from snow and rain. CAO Sandra Kulyk reassured council members that she had been in contact with town’s insurers and any water damage that does occur will in fact be covered.
The plot thickens
After a dispute between local gardeners over the community garden plots, one unnamed resident submitted a deposit to claim four plots for next summer’s growing season. However the decision was made to return the deposit and create a policy that limits one plot per gardener each year unless no other plots were wanted. A policy was also discussed that would regulate how and when gardeners are to maintain and clean their plots.

Atco Electric donated $500 towards the purchase of the decorations as part of their community involvement efforts. The new decorations will replace older, worn out models. ECA Review/D.Johnston
Crown town
A future meeting date was set to discuss new avenues to market Coronation as a town of crowns. Council members want to get away from a ‘royal’ theme and shared ideas about implementing a crown theme to encourage more local tourism. Ideas included putting up crown shaped street signs, crown shaped flower planters and a crowning of an annual prom and grad king and queen.

Kneehill Councillor apologizes Debra Johnston
ECA Review Reporter Coun. Bobby Painter made an apology to council at the Nov. 10 Kneehill County council meeting for past indiscretions that resulted in disciplinary action over the past year. In a previous ECA Review interview with Painter
following council’s motion to allow him to attend conference, Painter had indicated he would likely apologize to council because he felt they had made an effort and he was prepared to do the same. Coun. Ken Hoppins motioned to accept Painter’s apology and council carried the motion.
Social media used to ‘backstab’?
As Coun. Carol Calhoun observed, she hoped this would put an end to the situation and council could move on with business.
Torrington training
Alberta Health Services is offering a Medical First Response training program to municipalities for five levels of emergency response: standard first aid (SFA), first medical responder (FMR), emergency medical responder (EMR), emergency medical technician (EMT) and advanced life support (ALS). In a presentation to council, Communications Officer Debra Grosfield outlined the various levels of training available as well as the liabilities associated with increased services. Torrington Fire Hall has applied for training in all five levels but council moved to approve only the first two: SFA and FMR. Council agreed that the
higher levels of training could pose a risk for the county. Once trained, those individuals are required to provide that level of service if they are on duty. If that emergency training fails, the county could be held liable. While Alberta Health is offering the training at no charge, there is no funding for municipalities attached to the program. Consequently, municipalities would incur costs for supplying the additional services. Since 2000 in Alberta, the Emergency Medical Aid Act generally provides protection to individuals rendering aid to an injured person. However, the act states that in cases where the person rendering aid is found to be grossly negligent, they could be held liable. Albertans are not legally bound to provide assistance to someone in need.

The fleet of designated crude oil transportation railcars in North America is estimated to be 87,500 by the end of 2015, which will bear a huge capital cost to rail companies to upgrade the entire fleet. The cost will be passed on to you, the consumer, as the cost of transportation rises accordingly. The reported reasoning behind the rejection of the Keystone pipeline application claims it was done for environmental protection reasons. That was the intent, however, the data tells a different story.

(Above) CFR contestant, Zeke Thurston hopes to ride the momentum of his career season to a big win at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas next month. ECA Review/D.Clark (Right) Big Valley resident, Zeke Thurston measures out his reign length prior to one of his saddle bronc rides during the Canadian Finals Rodeo held in Edmonton from Nov. 11 - 15. ECA Review/D.Clark
Big Valley resident Zeke Thurston has built a saddle bronc riding resume during his rookie season that most professional rodeo cowboys would aspire to during the course of their entire careers. Twenty-one year old Thurston has set arena records, won buckles, cash and saddles at some of the biggest rodeos in the circuit not to mention earned a spot as a contestant at both the Canadian finals (CFR) and the national finals (NFR) in Las Vegas this year. Thurston started his season down south in Arizona winning the saddle bronc buckle and setting a new arena record of 90 points on the horse of the Tucson rodeo finals, Killer Bee. He then went on to the Houston rodeo and although was there as an alternate he ended up winning the $54,000 payout, champion buckle and a very special trophy saddle of his own. Like father, like son. Thurston’s father, Skeeter is a former six-time NFR contestant and five-time CFR contestant who has quite the impressive resume himself. Skeeter won the Houston Rodeo saddle bronc champion title in 1986 and now there are matching trophy saddles for the family to proudly put on display. During the course of the year Thurston began travelling with saddle bronc colleagues, Taos Muncy and Tryel Laresn and “that was probably the biggest help and positive thing for me,” Thurston said in a recent interview. When competitors spend only eight seconds on a horse (ideally) the mental aspect of sport is huge. Late nights, long hours in a vehicle, the lack of home-cooked meals and potential injuries do not make for

athletes in tip-top condition. With so much time spent on the road travelling from rodeo to rodeo having like-minded winning attitudes around you helps maintain focus during the downtime. Thurston finished the July long weekend with another $10,000 payout and carried that momentum with him to the Calgary Stempede where he, Cody DeMoss (2015 Saddle Bronc Champion) and Wade Sundell (2015 CFR average winner) each scored a 90.5. The trio had a $100,000 ride-off for the first place prize, and the rookie from Big Valley walked away with a big cheque. This past week at the CFR “didn’t go so good”, said Thurston however the NFR is a few short weeks away and his season is not over yet. When asked what has contributed to his success, Thurston answered it was probably his mind set, just wanting it so bad. Trying to be the best at whatever you do in life and the support I have from people and my friends, he added.

VIEWPOINTS Pot is not the cash crop its supporters claim by Jordan Bateman, B.C. Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation (This column originally appeared in the National Post on November 16, 2015) Fourteen years ago, B.C. Marijuana Party candidate Joshua McKenzie ran in the staunchly conservative provincial riding of Fort Langley-Aldergrove. He spent a memorable all-candidates meeting answering every question with one sentence: “If government legalized and taxed marijuana, there would be plenty of money for health care, education and other priorities.” By the end of the meeting, people were chanting his answer along with him. McKenzie only drew 674 votes, but the belief that legalizing and taxing marijuana could pay for everything has only grown since 2001. The examples south of the border, however, seem to suggest that the truth is very different. With Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s campaign promise to “design a new system of strict marijuana sales and distribution, with appropriate federal and provincial excise taxes applied,” Canada is closer than ever before to seeing what kind of tax money can be wrung out of the pot industry. And while the Canadian Taxpayers Federation does not oppose legalizing marijuana, it certainly isn’t a government cash crop. A 2012 study estimated national marijuana sales at $4.6 billion per year. That’s total revenue, not potential taxes. Indeed, the taxes generated from marijuana are likely to be far less than suggested in recent years. If you’re hoping that pot will fund a new school in every community or a subway to your door, it won’t. In Colorado, the first U.S. state to legalize pot, tax revenue from marijuana is on pace to hit $126 million this year on $923 million worth of sales. If Canada used a similar tax rate, it would generate $628 million in taxes per year. That might sound like a lot of money, but considering the federal government is projecting to collect $290 billion in revenue this year, the additional cash from marijuana would amount to an increase of 0.22 per cent. “The big lesson we tell other states is you probably shouldn’t legalize marijuana if you want to make money — that’s not why you

do it,” a Colorado official told the Huffington Post. In Washington state, the revenue generated from taxes is even less, $65 million over the first 10 months of this year. “When you’re looking for billions of dollars, tens of millions doesn’t solve the problem but it certainly doesn’t hurt,” explained an staffer in Washington Governor Jay Inslee’s office. Marijuana legalization advocates often argue that enforcement costs will dip, too. However, that isn’t the case thus far in Colorado, as police there have asked for more resources to try to stamp out the organized crime networks that controlled marijuana production and sales for decades. Further, the black market is still in operation as people seek cheaper, tax-free marijuana. And that’s the real Catch-22. How do you regulate and tax marijuana when the black market can provide it so much cheaper? If you push marijuana taxes to tobacco levels, will you keep people buying contraband? Would a critical mass of people pay a premium for pot when they can get it the old fashioned way at much lower prices? There’s still an illegal market for cigarettes in Canada — 15 to 33 per cent of smokes are contraband, and many fall into underage hands. “Kids have less money and they are amazing communicators on social media,” an industry expert explained to the Victoria Times Colonist. “As soon as one finds out where you can get tobacco for half price or less, everybody knows.” Marijuana is — and would remain — the same, unless the price of the legal product was lower than the black market price, which would only happen if the government decided to forgo some of its potential tax revenue. Given the difference in usage patterns, and the precedents of Washington and Colorado, it seems highly unlikely that marijuana taxes will generate nearly as much revenue as tobacco taxes. Marijuana legalization is coming, thanks to Prime Minister Trudeau. It will be a fascinating experiment in public safety and taxation policy, one that will be studied for decades to come. But no politician should start writing cheques until they see how many zeros marijuana taxes actually produce.

What will Trudeau do?
Dear Editor, In light of the Islamic state attacks on Paris I was just wondering if the ECA Review, as an Albertan publication which is in tune with Liberal philosophy, expects that the newly formed Trudeau liberal government will still stick to its campaigned position to expedite the taking in of some
twenty-four thousand Syrians as opposed to adopting the previous governments’ cautious approach to immigration balanced with protecting the security of Canada. Perhaps the new leadership should all sit down, smoke a joint and think it over. Ya think? M. Lee Hudson, Coronation

ECA review
Coronation/Stettler, Ab
Result of a relationship of dependency Cont’d from Pg 6 The Conservative Government refused to appoint that commission. I suspect that the reason is that they already knew the real cause but were not convinced that an expensive commission would solve the real problem. Trudeau will throw a lot of money at the Indigenous problems and in the process hopefully that should improve their living conditions but none of that will improve the basic relationship these people have with the rest of us. The relationship the government has with them is paternalistic. As long as they are dependent on the rest of us for their standard of living there will always be a certain amount of conflict and animosity. The result of a relationship of dependency automatically causes them to be second class citizens in my opinion. I think the Indigenous people will continue to be second class citizens until the reservation system, as it is now structured, is dismantled and the people are afforded basic property rights like everyone else in Canada. All they can own while living on a reservation are chattel’s such as vehicles, furniture, etc. The people cannot own their houses while living on a reservation, as a consequence they don’t respect their housing the same as they would if they were responsible to maintain it.

As well if they had to pay taxes to support their infrastructure like the rest of us, it would also command more respect. Until structural changes like this are agreed to, there will never be

“Somewhere My Love” was played. Pallbearers were Jesse Vogt, Nash Vogt, Luke Gould, Ty Gould, Clinton Allen, Brandon Allen and Evan McCarvill as Clarence was laid to rest at Castor Municipal Cemetery. The UCW presented a lovely luncheon while friends and family shared time together in the Upper Hall.

Lodge plan includes treatment/therapy room Cont’d from Pg 2 According to Paradon, the facility would be classified as extended care, meaning seniors would have access to cleaning, laundry and cooking services. Medical care, such as nursing staff, would not be a feature of the lodge but the plan includes a treatment/therapy room where practitioners could offer services. A unique feature of the lodge would be to include room for a playschool. According to Paradon, the addition could solve the problem Delburne Playschool faces with losing the church if the property sells. The arrangement would also allow interaction between generations. The society is hopeful the village will consider donating land that sits
beside property the society already has for the project. Or, if that isn’t possible, consider earmarking the 2016 .5 ml special levy tax money for the project. The land in question is zoned commercial and would allow for the facility. “Right now that land is sitting idle,” commented Coun. Tim Wilson, stating that if the village did donate the land but the facility was not built, the land could then revert to village hands. Currently, Delburne seniors requiring or wanting this kind of facility must go elsewhere. “They can’t stay in their communities where they’ve worked all their lives,” stated Paradon, pointing out they often end up in communities far from their families wherever space is available.

Appalling outcome
Paintearth Feeder’s Association
Cont’d from Pg 4 Along with an increase in emissions the State Department’s study found that costs are substantially higher (three times) with rail transportation versus pipelines. These additional costs associated with the rejection of pipelines are a major contributor as to whether projects are economically viable, and that directly translates into unemployment numbers. The intentions of those that oppose the building of more cost-efficient and environmentally safer pipelines have not been bolstered by the undesired outcomes based on the actual data. Regardless of how genuine the intentions are, sometimes the outcomes can have unintended but overshadowing consequences. Alberta’s Premier has fundamentally opposed the approval and construction of pipelines based on environmentally ideological beliefs that just don’t deliver the desired results of her intentions. The data also shows time and again that the outcomes of shipping by rail will have a far worse impact on the environment versus those of a pipeline. Even with good intentions by the Premier, it will be an all around appalling outcome for Albertans.

Farmers, ranchers and their workers want to return home safely after working hard all day. We want to help. That’s why we’re proposing changes to laws that keep farm and ranch workers safe and ensure they’re treated fairly. • • •
Ensuring farm and ranch accidents can be properly investigated so they can be prevented. Making sure farm and ranch workers can still support their families if they’re injured on the job. Protecting farm and ranch owners against the impact of workplace injuries and illnesses.
If approved, laws that govern workplace safety and Workers’ Compensation Board insurance coverage would apply to farm and ranch workers as of January 1, 2016. 15113DG0
We also want your views on how we can work with employers to make lives better for farm and ranch workers. For example: • • •
How should hours of work for farms and ranches be regulated? How should vacation leave work on farms and ranches? How do we make these changes while protecting family farms and ranches?

The head of a turkey has very few feathers. But, it does have a snood and a wattle!
A part of the turkey’s stomach contains tiny stones that the bird has previously swallowed. This organ has strong muscles and uses the stones to grind up food. Color the spaces with one dot to see what it is called.
The snood is a fleshy body part that hangs over the turkey’s beak. The wattle is the fleshy area on the turkey’s throat. When a turkey becomes frightened, agitated, excited or ill, the snood and wattle can change from their usual pale pink or bluish gray color to red, white, or blue. Turkeys can run at speeds up to 25 miles per hour and can fly as fast as 55 miles per hour! Have three players race to unscramble these Thanksgiving dinner words. The winner gets the first slice of pie.
