cumstances of that file. “No restitution was sought as the cattle were recovered.” The ECA Review contacted the RCMP livestock investigator but the call was not returned prior to going to press. In February 2015 Walter and Adeline Suntjens returned to their ranch, which has been in the family for 104 years, after a two-week vacation to find their lives and livelihood forever changed. Suntjens runs a 550 cow/calf operation and farms 3000 acres northeast of Hanna. According to Suntjens’, their hired man, Jason McDowell, his wife Kelly, their six children and Jason’s father, John had all up and left with only a note to explain their sudden disappearance.

INDEX
Cache Creek Natural Beef Company, which is another ranch operation that McDowell conned his way into, claims a Kamloops source. A court worker for the Kamloops Provincial Court informed the ECA Review that the victim surcharge is money that is given to the BC Victim Services which in turn is redirected to various victims of crime in the local area. The Suntjens’ were not named as recipients of McDowell’s restitution payments. According to the Kamloops Crown Counsel, Will Burrows who stated in an email to the ECA Review, “The decision to charge with respect to only 10 cattle was made by the Crown and/or police in Alberta, so I can’t help you with the cir-

Jason McDowell, the former SilverSun Farm’s hired man was found guilty for only one count of cattle theft in the Kamloops Provincial Court on Nov. 18 where received an 18 month jail sentence for stealing 10 cows according to court documents. However, according to Walter Suntjens he had a total of 50 bred cows and 20 yearlings stolen. It is no wonder that SilverSun Farm owner Walter Suntjens prefers good ‘ole western justice’ over the current justice system when he claimed in a recent interview, “If these people are not sent to jail then ranchers and farmers will take justice into their own hands. We will not allow things like this
to happen so if the judges will not take care of it – then we will.” McDowell’s own mother Kathy English even called his sentence “ridiculous” and “a slap on the wrist.” McDowell’s defense lawyer’s request for ‘house arrest’ was denied by the presiding judge and he was sentenced to a 354 day jail term, a $100 victim surcharge and $20,000 in restitution for the charge of cattle theft and another six months in jail, a $200 victim surcharge and $11,430 in restitution for the two counts of theft over $5000. The $20,000 restitution payment is to be paid to Colton Sather, the Hughenden rancher who had unknowingly bought 10 of the stolen cattle and the $11,430 restitution payment is to go to the

Bashaw dealing with feral cats Lisa Joy
Review reporter Bashaw council unanimously agreed to pay up to an additional $2,000 to deal with feral cats running loose around the town. Previously council contracted Old MacDonald Kennels and approved $1,000 to trap and catch cats but the kennel has been running at a loss and so far its costs in Bashaw have been $1,276.25. “We are extremely fortunate to have her (operator of kennel),” said Bashaw Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Theresa Fuller during council’s regular meeting Nov. 19. “She took this on not knowing how many cats it would be.” The operator of the kennel doesn’t believe in euthanizing animals and has been spaying and neutering the cats and posting them for adoption through Facebook for farms as mousers. “It’s wonderful that is how she is doing this,” said Mayor Penny Shantz. “We don’t have a choice but it seems expensive,” said Coun. Lynn Schultz. CAO Fuller said the kennel operator is using two traps to save trips to Bashaw. Coun. Schultz suggested a third trap be purchased to make more use of the kennel operator’s trips to town. “I guess we have a problem,” he said. “I would like to see how many cats she catches.” CAO Fuller said dealing with the cat

I am Mary Anne and here is how hypnosis s o l v e d my w e i g ht problem. Before hypnosis I had many negative thoughts about myself and had low self-esteem. I was not happy with the way I looked and I didn’t want to socialize. I now like myself and I’m much happier with my appearance. My outlook is more positive. I know I am in control of my emotions and I am delighted with how active I have become. I am once again participating in many social activities and I have a lot of self-confidence due to my belief in myself.
Arena use
Council approved its new arena and recreation facility use policy and will get community feedback meeting with as many user groups of the arena as possible. CAO Fuller said the town wants to accommodate as many requests for ice time as they can.
Happy Gang Centre lease renewed
Bashaw council unanimously agreed to renew the Buffalo Lake Golden Age Club (Happy Gang Centre) lease for another five years. The club manages the facility and bookings and pays for its own expenses and the town provides the facility for a nominal lease fee. Mayor Penny Shantz pointed out that the club has never approached council for extra funding and they pay to run the facility themselves.

Farming accident takes life
Despite her recent 80th birthday, Coronation resident Peggy Dummett didn’t let that stop her from telling Santa what she wanted for Christmas at Coronation’s Craft Fair on Wed. Nov. 18. ECA Review/D.Clark
A 10 year old boy from the Lougheed Hutterite Colony has died following a farming incident near Killam, Ab., according to Edmonton CTV news. The incident occurred on Nov. 21 at approximately 11 a.m. The young boy had been driving a forklift on the family farm when the machine became unstable and tipped over. The boy suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead on scene, according to an RCMP news release . The Killam/Forestburg RCMP are investigating this occurrence. Initial investigation has
found that the young boy lost control of the machine while driving on a gravel roadway. The machine drove into a ditch and rolled over. Witnesses were nearby and quickly attempted to administer first aid. Members of the family describe the young boy as having operated the machine in the past and he was familiar with its operation. The name of the child is not being released out of respect for the family’s privacy.

Food for thought Dear Editor, Looking at the new Liberal cabinet ministers and listening to the media approval of how this group of politicians better reflects the face of Canada, made me reflect on an announcement made by Trudeau on May 7, 2014. “Anti-abortion candidates need not apply in 2015, Justin Trudeau says” read the CBC news headline. Trudeau did excuse any of the then current sitting liberals but later revoked their right to vote according to their conscience. He made the comment he was for “open nominations” but that would not interfere with this decision to screen all new candidates. If these news items are true, then is it fair to assume every one of the 184 duly elected Liberals are pro abortion and “better reflect the face of Canada?” It appears the Liberal Party does not believe in the sanctity
of human life. I’m sure there are many others who feel the same. But what about those who are of a different mind set? As Canadians they are shut out of this party and cannot even express their deep aversion to the slaughter of the innocent. Since there is no concern for the unborn, it makes me doubt the concern for the children who have been spared. To appear in public with his beautiful children and talk so passionately about such social topics as child poverty and the need for more day care, rings a bit hollow in my ears. As I am classed among the elderly and in the very near future doctor assisted suicide will be the norm, I wonder how long it will be before this government considers me an unwanted living and breathing non-person. Food for thought? Faye Pearson Stettler, Ab.

Safe and healthy farms and ranches
Alberta Beef Producers newsletter The Government of Alberta announced sweeping changes this week to labour legislation dealing with farm and ranch workers. If the Alberta Legislature passes Bill 6, the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act, farmers, ranchers, and their employees will face significant changes related to occupational health and safety, workers’ compensation, employment standards, and labour relations. ABP shares the government’s desire and commitment to make farms and ranches even more safe, fair, and healthy workplaces, and we were expecting legislative changes this fall. However, we are concerned that the
Annual Meeting
many hours we spent consulting with senior government officials and elected officials have not had more influence on the direction of these legislative changes. Farm and ranch work is unique and diverse. Jobs such as raising livestock, seeding, and harvesting do not fit into eight hour days and five day 40 hour weeks in easily defined locations with clearly identified workers. Turn to Farmers, Pg 9
ECA review
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. 15114DG0
We also want your views on how we can work with employers to make lives better for farm and ranch workers. For example:

Wind Farm Developer Seeking Land EDF EN Canada is actively seeking development opportunities across the province of Alberta. If you have land in an area you believe may be suitable for a wind energy project, we want to hear from you. Wind energy uses very little land and provides good long-term lease income for farmers and host communities.
We are looking for:
• Strong wind area • Close to electrical transmission lines (5-10 km) • Flat open terrain • Reasonable road access • Likelihood that neighbours will also be interested • Likelihood of a supportive local community

Farmers should have choice in selecting insurance Cont’d from Pg 8 Farm work takes place at odd hours, in widely dispersed locations, often with the help of family, neighbours, and friends. Alberta Jobs, Skillls, Training and Labour Minister Sigurdson said that the rules the government implements must respect the unique qualities of the farm and ranch industry, but the legislation appears intended to treat farms and ranches just like other industries. ABP certainly hopes that further consultation will ensure that the unique qualities of farm and ranch work are respected. One part of the proposed legislative changes is consistent with the messages the government has received from ABP and the agriculture industry. Bringing farm and ranch workers under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, with a commitment to working with industry on the development of technical rules by 2017 is acceptable to ABP. We have long supported legislative changes that would allow investigation of serious injuries or fatalities on farms and ranches in order to help prevent recurrence of these incidents. We have much greater concerns about other elements of the proposed legislative changes. We support a requirement for farms and ranches to have baseline insurance coverage for employees, but we do not support mandatory WCB coverage. We think farmers and ranchers should have choice in selecting insurance coverage. Although some farmers and ranchers have WCB coverage, it is not the best choice for many farms and ranches and may not provide the best protection for many farm and ranch workers. Many of these workers will have less coverage on January 1, 2016 under WCB than they
currently have under their employer’s insurance coverage. We are also concerned that there will not be enough time between now and the spring of 2016 for meaningful consultation on amendments to the Employment Standards Code that will appropriately reflect the unique nature of farm and ranch work. ABP will work with the government to try to develop rules that in Minister Sigurdson’s words “make sense,” but we still believe that awareness, education and training,
rather than sweeping legislative changes, are the best way to build a culture of safety and make farms and ranches more healthy and safe. A series of town hall meetings on the proposed legislative changes will begin on Thursday, November 26 at the Pomeroy Hotel in Grande Prairie. ABP encourages producers to attend the town hall meetings and provide your input into the proposed changes. It would be even more valuable to have your workers attend the meetings and tell the

Fishing, hunting, golfing and Evie Gillard
Claude Gillard passed away peacefully with his wife by his side in Long Term Care on Nov. 15 at the age of 93 years. Claude went to school in the hamlet of Throne and married Evie Thacker on June 25, 1950 in Edmonton, Ab. They started their small family with a son, Bryce who was born on Jan. 31, 1951. During this time Claude was employed at Clarks Lumber doing carpentry work.
In April of 1951 the decision was made to move back to the family farm at Throne. Soon after the move their daughter Rondi was born at the Coronation Hospital on Aug. 15, 1952. Once again Claude took up his carpentry skills and started working with Bullick Construction where he was employed from 1964 to 1984. From this job a long time friendship was built with Ted Bullick. In 1984 the decision was made to move off
11
the farm and into their new home in Coronation. Claude and Evie enjoyed travelling which took them to the casinos at Jackpot. Another favourite hobby that allowed them to spend a great deal of time together and took them travelling was fishing. Even though he was retired, if Evie was asked where Claude was she would say that he Turn to At work, Pg 12 was at work.

“At work” meant a daily game of pool with friends
Cont’d from Pg 11 Which really meant that he had gone up to the Seniors Center to meet his friends Ted Bullick, Max Heidecker, Albert Untch, Fleury Nicoud and other seniors to have a daily game of pool. For many years golfing was a daily ritual. Claude also spent many hours reading and never missing the 6 o’clock news. Claude also had a love for the game of crib. He passed this fondness on to his children, grandson and was just starting to teach the game to his great grandson. When the family would get
together Evie would always ask “Are you going to get out the crib board?” Every year come fall Claude would go deer hunting with Evie helping him as his ‘spotter’. In later years his son, Bryce and his wife Mona took on that role. A week before his passing Mona shot her deer with the rifle that Claude had given her, which brought a smile to his face. Another big part of Claude and Evie’s life was berry picking every fall. Claude was predeceased by his father, Arthur in 1940, his mother,

Drinking and driving ruins lives. Think about it! Too many people are arrested every holiday season after failing breathalyzer tests at police roadside checkpoints. Driving while intoxicated puts your own life in danger, but the worst thing is that it endangers the lives of other road users as well. Make sure that this festive time of year doesn’t end in tragedy for you or anyone else. Christmas time often means one party after another with drinks galore. When you accept an invitation, plan ahead of time how you’re going to get home. Members of the same family or group of friends can designate a driver, arrange to share a taxi at the end of the evening, or use a free or for-hire drive home service. Even if your alcohol consumption is moderate you still ought to

BIG VALLEY check that you’re still capable of driving safely. Use a personal breath alcohol tester to find out if you’re over the legal limit; they are on sale at most provincial liquor and wine stores. It might be hard to remember this when under the influence, but a person’s behaviour and faculties are altered by alcohol. When blood alcohol content is over 0.5 g/l, a driver’s field of vision shrinks, distance perception changes, visual reaction times increase, there is more sensitivity to glare, and vigilance and resistance to fatigue are reduced. Perhaps the ultimate danger is that alcohol consumption results in a loss of inhibition, which causes drivers to under-evaluate dangers and break traffic laws.

Halloween
by Hailey Busk and Maddie Long The Friday before Halloween, Jr. High students hosted a haunted house for the elementary students. Students were split into groups of witches, vampires, mummies and cats and assigned spirit leaders to escort them through various activities such as a favourite called the biscuit balance. While in the haunted house, students had to crawl through a maze while people tried to scare them. Overall these activities were very fun and everyone enjoyed them.
