Darcy McGunigal gave an update to council stating the strategies used for crime prevention, one of three goals set out by the RCMP seemed to be effective as overall occurrences were down 43.5 per cent over last year, although property crimes were up four per cent.

McGunigal said they were keeping tabs of everyone living in the area under [court ordered] conditions, and following up with those habitual offenders.

Review Reporter Two men charged in connection with a triple homicide of the Klaus family last December east of Castor still haven’t entered a plea or elected how they want to be tried. The pair appeared in Red Deer provincial court Nov. 12 for that reason but the case was adjourned again until Nov. 28 because Jason Gordon Klaus still hasn’t obtained a lawyer. Klaus fired both his lawyers Oct. 6. He asked the court then for the case to be put over until Nov. 10 so he could have time to go to legal aid. The judge set it aside until Nov. 12 saying this way he would have a couple more days and wouldn’t have to ask for another adjournment if he appeared on Nov. 10. But on Nov. 12 Klaus, appearing alongside his co-accused Joshua Gregory Frank from the Red Deer Remand Centre via closed-caption TV, told his lawyer that legal aid Is busy and it’s a “slow process” and asked that his plea and election be put over until next Wednesday. To that the judge scolded Klaus telling him that when he last appeared he asked for more time. Klaus nodded and said, “yup, it should be in place this week.” An agent appearing on behalf of lawyer Tonii Roulston, representing Frank, asked the court for a Nov. 28 appearance to set a day for a preliminary hearing to see if there’s enough evidence to go to trial. The judge asked Klaus if the Nov. 28 court day would work for him and Klaus replied “Ya, whatever you decide sir.” Robin McIntyre, student-at-law from Roulston Chow out of Calgary told the court a preliminary hearing is expected to last two weeks.
Klaus was denied bail at a hearing earlier this month. The judge’s reasons for denying Klaus bail are under a publication ban. Frank hasn’t applied for bail. Klaus and Frank were arrested Aug. 15 and charged with the Dec. 8, 2013 murders of Gordon Klaus, 61, his wife Sandra, 62, and their adult daughter Monica Klaus., 40. The arrests came after a B.C. dive team from RCMP’s E Division retrieved what police call a ‘key’ piece of evidence from the Battle River near Big Knife Provincial Park July 27. RCMP Ins. Tony Hamori, at a press conference in Calgary Aug. 16 said police were
confident they have the two people responsible for the triple murder. Jason Gordon Klaus farmed with his father Gordon east of Castor in the County of Paintearth. Sandra Klaus - known as Sandi, worked at Castor’s Our Lady of the Rosary Hospital in housekeeping and was known for her kindness and always making time to listen to the elderly in acute and continuing care. Monica Klaus lived in Stettler and worked in human resources at Vortex Production Services, and according to friends, often spent weekends at the family farm.

Making an effort is better than denial Dear Editor, Re: Climate Change Fraud Nov. 13, 2014 pg.6 I am afraid I must respectfully disagree with Mr. Schwenk’s opinion about the lack of climate change impacting our world. The ECA Review should consult with more people of the scientific community before publishing such disappointingly narrow, one-sided perspectives. As a member of the scientific community in central Alberta, I feel the need to set the record straight by first of all pointing out several errors in Mr. Schwenk’s article, his view of environmentalists and his flawed logic. “Environmentalists” (whoever he means by this) do not propose to eliminate all carbon from the planet. As Mr. Schwenk points out, most if not all life forms discovered so far on earth are carbon-based. However, there is insufficient scientific data that with more carbon in the atmosphere “the better plants grow”. Though there is some evidence to support this, if it is enough to offset the amounts we are pumping out is unknown and whether there is a limit to how much and how fast they can store this carbon. Better crop yields may be a result of the Green Revolution, which helped decrease carbon storage in the ground and natural groundcover and put it in the air. Mr. Schwenk seems to be unaware of the science of greenhouse gases. In my opinion, another error in Mr. Schwenk’s argument is that water does not decrease atmospheric temperatures. Though the addition of water may appear to cause a halt to warming, it is only a temporary hiatus in warming because water can absorb a great deal of heat. Water is one of the effective greenhouse gases: It holds more heat, and hangs on to it, acting as an insulator. Without looking at the documents

that he refers to where the US government is in league with NASA to fabricate warmest temperatures, I cannot comment on those. We must not think about just North America when critiquing temperatures. There are more places in the world. Global warming takes into account worldwide temperatures, not just North America. I know what the science says. It says climate change is real and will hurt us and our way of life. Everyday I wade through information about climate change, trying to understand how it will impact our lives in rural Alberta, not just those in ‘poor countries’. Will we have longer, more severe droughts, or worse flooding? Part of the reason our ecological systems are in the state that they are is due to people who are against making the world a better place and having healthy land, water, and air systems and against wealthy philanthropists working to make a change for the better. In many ways, many ecological issues including climate change, global warming or whatever you wish to call it, are rooted in greed. I count myself among those in the developed world who, over their lifetime, have taken too much, most of which was not even ours to take. I and others I work with are trying to live with a smaller footprint so we have something at least as good as what we had to pass on to our children. “Environmentalists” are here to help us think beyond our own gratification and greed. Thinking beyond ourselves is not easy, and thinking to the future is harder still. Yet, making an effort, even though we still buy fossil fuel cars and heat our homes with natural gas, is better than denying the truth and choosing to do nothing. By not acting, we choose to destroy and take without thought of others. Susanna Bruneau BSc, MA Rosalind, Ab

Safety plan being implemented in Clearview schools Review Reporter
Critically serious situations are a new reality in schools stressed RCMP Constable Bill Lewadniuk in his presentation to trustees at the Nov. 13 Clearview school board meeting. In response to recent school events, the RCMP has developed an emergency response plan for all schools across Canada called School Action for Emergencies (SAFE). Lewadniuk described SAFE as a mobile operational computer application program and standardizes response plans in schools across Canada that delivers real time information to front line responders about critical situations such as bomb scares, active shooter or chemical spills. The application incorporates data such as school floor plans and staging areas and closes gaps previously faced by responders.
The information the application uses is available to law enforcement only stressed Lewadniuk.
CARS program
Clearview school trustees listened intently as Eileen Johnstone, Director of Student Services and Don Porter, Clinical Director for Clearview presented an annual report for the Children and Adolescents Being Resilient and SelfRegulating program (CARS). CARS is funded through a Mental Health Capacity grant from Alberta Mental Health. Johnstone also reported that Clearview has received a grant for $50,000 from Alberta Health for mental health initiatives for staff and students. According to Johntone, the district now has 41 students requiring additional support, up from 37 last year, which reflects a continuing upward trend of students at risk.

LACOMBE COUNTY
Remote county shop aimed at improving service Lisa Joy
Review reporter Residents living on the east side of Lacombe County can expect better road maintenance in the future after Lacombe County council unanimously voted in favour of building a remote shop near Tees for $1.8 million. In 2014-15 the county will buy land in the Tees area and construct it in 2016-17. The county will also build a shop in the west end of the county, and consider one for Aspelund Industrial near Blackfalds and one near Joffre near the proposed Deer Park subdivision that would see 521 homes, a golf course and mini village. “There are service issues and we need to move forward with this,” said Coun. Dana Kriel at the county’s regular meeting Nov. 13. “There are service gaps happening on each side of the county.” Coun. Rod McDermand questioned having the Deer Park remote shop in the business plan citing a development application hasn’t even been received. “I just think we’re raising a flag that we don’t need to raise,” he said. County amended the motion to say a remote shop for Deer Park would be considered after the development proceeds. The decision was prompted in part by the need to free up space at the county’s centralized shop to accommodate rapid growth along the central corridor. Phil Lodermeier, manager of operations for Lacombe County said if two remote shops are built, one in the west and one in the eastern portion of the county, staff can handle some growth without adding onto the main shop but that could change if development in the central region continues “its torrid pace.”
Bridge repair in works
Lacombe County approved $3.4 million to repair five bridges and start design work on six more throughout the county. County commissioner Terry Hager told council that the county has been underfunding bridges as they’ve tried to balance mill rate, reserves, MSI funding and possible bridge grant funding. Coun. Rod McDermand slammed the provincial government, which stopped funding bridge repairs and downloaded the costs to municipalities.
“We are going to find ourselves in the same bucket as everyone else in the province, maybe we (Lacombe County) will be better off. It begs the questions where the provincial government will find itself in the future.” Hager said, “We are trying to avoid that, we are trying to get ahead of the curve.” Coun. McDermand said a tragedy on one of the bridges in the province will “illuminate the issue,” and added it will happen somewhere. Hager agreed. As did Phil Lodermeier the county’s manager of operations. “Rod you are correct,” he said adding that a catastrophe would highlight the problem with the public. “We are addressing the biggest issues before they arise as best as we can given the money we have,” said Lodermeier. Earlier this year Coun. McDermand said “a lot of bridges are terminal,” in Lacombe County. “They have been there 60 to 70 years. It’s a big number (of bridges), too.”
Clubroot spreads
Lacombe County urges canola producers to take more precautions against clubroot after the 2014 inspection revealed 28 fields contaminated with clubroot. The county started monitoring for clubroot in 2008 and found 59 fields infected. Last year the cases were in the northern end of the county but its spread to the south now. They have inspected 178 fields. The disease has not taken hold in Lacombe County, said Dion Burlock agricultural fieldman for the county.
Mirror development
Lacombe County tweaked the Mirror Area Structure Plan (ASP) that could become a template for other hamlets including Tees and Joffre. Changes include servicing of wastewater holding tanks in new multi-lot developments be at council’s discretion, lots not serviced by municipal waste and wastewater must be a minimum of two acres, the alternative wastewater system will be determined when the development application is filed, major home-based businesses are a discretionary use and can have up to two non-resident offsite employees.
ChooseWell committee looking for support The Coronation ChooseWell committee has been working in Coronation since 2012, the establishment of the committee driven by a provincial initiative. The committee’s current efforts include enhancing the walking path to the Coronation Dam with a paved path, wide enough for wheel chairs; outdoor fitness equipment along the route, benches and landscaping. This project falls under the goal of providing affordable and accessible wellness opportunities and building community partnerships. The committee is partnering with Communities in Bloom (CiB) and the Historical and Museum society but to date have been unsuccessful in acquiring any grants to support the project. The committee would like to know if the community is in favour of developing this walking path. The committee needs to compile a list of local resources and contributions supporting the walking path project prior to writing a grant application. This would include volunteer time, equipment, supplies, funds. Let them know what you can offer for support and email to to twncoron@
telusplanet.net or drop it off with Diane Schmidt, Coronation’s community liaison. Phone 403-578-2727 for more information. Other committee goals include improving individual well-being through role modeling and engaging activities, encouraging awareness and support for the program, Health Easting Active Living (HEAL) and building partnerships to increase community cohesiveness to achieve wellness. The vision of the Coronation committee is “to celebrate and promote Coronation as a healthy vibrant community. Over the past year events spearheaded by the committee included a walking group, Fruit Friday at Coronation School, fruit sales, Seniors Community Kitchen, a Turkey Trot, Walk to Sochi, UWalk challenge, a winter walk day, a school healthy snack program and a skate-a-thon. The Provincial ChooseWell Communities awarded Coronation’s committee with two awards. In 2012 they received the Creating Healthy Opportunities award and in 2013 the Building Community Capacity, Most Significant Change, Overall High Achiever awards. Advertorial
Terry Hager, county commissioner said the county struggles with utilities in Mirror because of its large geographic area and low density. “If you have predictability on utilities it’s an incentive for people to move there and businesses,” said Hager. The county sees numerous economic opportunities expected to contribute to
Mirror’s growth including its central location and access to a large population along the QEII. In addition, there’s an increased interest in small town living. The county set a public meeting at the Mirror Community Hall on Dec. 9 to bring draft ASP to the area residents for feedback.

GABRIELLA’S STORY Our family has always supported STARS through the calendar and lottery campaigns, but on April 20, 2010, the meaning of STARS in our life took on an entirely new meaning. It was early that morning that our daughter Gabriella was born by emergency Cesarean section at Red Deer Regional Hospital and at only 29 weeks gestation. She was tiny at just over 3 lbs and her lungs had not yet fully developed. There was such panic and fear that day that I remember only parts of it. One of the most distinct memories I have of that day was how quickly the STARS crew was there to help. I remember the sense of concern in the ICU that changed completely when the flight crew arrived, bringing a sense of calm and purpose to the process. The crew had been mobilized from the Foothills Hospital before Gabriella was even born and included an ICU nurse, pediatric respiratory therapist and paramedics; a highly skilled group that operated with speed and precision to have Gabriella’s chest tube inserted and an IV line put into an arm that was no bigger than my thumb. The other most prominent memory I have is following the crew to the flight deck in Red Deer to watch Gabriella loaded into the helicopter. I will never forget
the pilot walking over to me and putting his hands on my shoulders. He said, “Dad, we’re going to have your baby on the ground at Foothills Hospital in 25 minutes. You can’t beat us there, so take your time and drive safely.” Gabriella spent a total of 45 days in the hospital after she was born, until she was strong enough to come home. My experience in pediatric audiology in the past always had me wondering if there would be complications later in life, maybe with her vision, hearing or development. Gabriella is now 4 years old, she shows no effects of her early arrival. She is incredibly bright, already learning to read and write and normally developing in every way. She loves the outdoors and has always had a sense of adventure, and I often wonder if it has something to do with her start in life, riding in the helicopter when she was only minutes old. Today when we drive by the hospital, she always looks for the red helicopter and says, “Where’s the helicopter Daddy? I think there are some tiny babies in there, just like me.” For that, we will always be truly thankful and a proud supporter of STARS Air Ambulance. Gabriella Towers STARS VIP

ECA Review/Submitted
Students gain first hand knowledge of water treatment On Friday, Nov. 7 a collaborative field trip between Grade 9 students from Hughenden, Hardisty and Irma schools travelled to Edmonton to the Telus World of Science. Students were amazed with the extension of space beyond earth by watching an Imax movie about images that have been collected by the Hubble telescope; they went through the Space Gallery collecting various pieces of information to complete an assignment, followed by hands-on activities to learn about telescopes, spectroscopy, weightlessness and researched products developed for space. They got to try on a simulated space suit and made readings of altitude. The day wrapped up with the opportunity to go through the new Indiana Jones exhibit. It was a great day of learning and also an opportunity for students from three different schools to interact with one another as they completed various learning tasks.
Chemistry lesson
The Chemistry 20 class is very appreciative of the time that Mark Wight invested into their learning about water and water treatment which complimented many outcomes for their current unit of study pertaining to solutions. Their teacher and Mark co-delivered the lesson. This past week students had an opportunity to visit the water treatment plant in Hughenden and see first hand the technology involved in the various steps of the process.
Parent/teacher interviews
Staff appreciate those parents who took the time to discuss their child’s academic progress at the recent parent-teacher interview evenings. We especially enjoyed those parents who brought their son/ daughter with them to discuss their journeys of learning.

Ethics and energy negotiations K&C ENTERPRISES INC. Coronation/Stettler, Ab.
Agri-News A spokesperson for the Farmers’ Advocate Office (FAO) says it is important farmers, ranchers, land agents, and energy companies have a basic understanding of ethics as they relate to energy negotiations. “One of the roles of the FAO is to assist farmers and ranchers understand the laws that guide the energy industry and their rights and obligations in relation to negotiations with energy companies,” says Carol Goodfellow, assistant farmers’ advocate-land and energy, FAO, Edmonton. “People who have never undergone energy negotiations may not have an understanding of what the process should look like, and, as a result, may unknowingly sign agreements that aren’t to their benefit. “While there are many excellent companies and land agents, unfortunately there are also some who use questionable ethics in their negotiations with farmers and ranchers. The FAO believes that it is important that landowners are treated fairly and respectfully.” Ethics are the standards of moral behaviour (right and wrong) that govern the behaviour of a society or group. “Legal requirements set a valuable baseline, but they are not a sufficient guideline for ethical behaviour,” says Goodfellow. “Just because something is legal doesn’t make it ethical. A land agent seeking to be ethical in energy negotiations must rise above the legal requirements.” The FAO makes the following recommendations:
Landowners should not feel pressured
A landowner should have enough time to review an agreement, research and ask questions prior to signing, says Goodfellow. “If the landowner lacks specific expertise in the area of surface rights, he should be afforded the opportunity to seek representation. “Landowners should be aware that signing bonuses can be tactics to get a landowner to sign quickly (and ignorantly). Putting pressure on landowners by suggesting that the bonus will be withdrawn without expeditious signing of an agreement is a highly questionable approach.” From time to time, the FAO hears of situations where landowners have been given an agreement for review and been told they have a specified time to sign, says Goodfellow. “In reality, a landowner has 48 hours of uninterrupted time (not

including weekends and holidays) to review the documents. They may choose to take additional time after that.”
The landowner has a right to information that affects them
“Agreements should fully disclosure all impacts of the development and be forthright about the future intentions of the project as they relate to the landowner,” says Goodfellow. “Furthermore, the agreement should detail all commitments that were formed during the discussions. This is vitally important for ensuring a landowner’s needs and interests are reflected throughout the development, maintenance, and reclamation processes. The obligation should be on the land agent to direct and lead the process in cases where the playing field may not be level.”
The landowner should be treated like an equal
Land agents should recognize the business acumen and diversity of skills it takes to be a farmer or rancher, says Goodfellow. “It may not be reflected on a gold-rimmed piece of paper, but farmers and ranchers are also businessmen, financial managers, strategists, stewards, and entrepreneurs who have developed skills in heavy duty mechanics, carpentry, veterinary medicine, crop management, nutrition science and so forth. Landowners should be treated as equals.”
The landowner should feel like they are being respected
“Many Albertans have invested deeply in their properties for generations, both financially and emotionally,” says Goodfellow. “A person who has spent their life on a piece of property will be rightfully insulted if they receive instructions from someone who has been on their property for a few hours. Land agents should be sensitive and polite, remembering that they are uninvited guests in a landowner’s home. Statements such as ‘we

BEEF TALK
Cull deep enough to find those freeloaders Cows that do not produce are just one notch above those cows that are open.
By Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist, North Dakota State University Extension Service Today, with an aggressive bidding for weigh-up cows and market bulls, why take the risk of pushing a cow an extra year? As condition and body weight decline, so does value, but managerial inputs and labor increase. The bottom line: Cows need to survive, produce and repeat the cycle yearly, with no additional pampering. No exceptions. As we move into the fall season, cattle work begins. Part of that work is culling cows, which is not fun. The cows have dedicated their lives to the operation, but there is no reward. The cows must produce or move to the pen destined for market. Even though cow numbers are down, keeping cows that are not likely to produce a worthy calf next year is fruitless. Culling really is a process of drawing a line in the sand, and those cows that cannot cross the line are sent to market. At the Dickinson Research Extension Center, the line is a combination of managerial chute-side judgments and data. On the judgment side, cows without teeth and/or low body condition are culled. One asks: Is that one tooth, two teeth, three teeth or no teeth? Is a body condition score of 1 or 2 too low or maybe even a 3? Oh, don’t forget to check the udder, as well as limbs, joints, bumps, lump jaw, eye health and any other notable problem, including temperament. In reality, the chute operator has just a few seconds to determine which pen the cow goes to. The secret of good culling is in knowing and understanding cattle and assessing the potential of integrating that cow back into the operation. It only takes seconds, but the fate of the cow hangs in the balance. “Out the door,” says the chute boss only to see the next cow cut off to the holding pen. Cows are seldom, if ever, cut back out of the main group. However, cows in the holding pen get another once-over as well as verification of the tag number. Because the decision is final and mistakes are not appreciated, a second look is appropriate. More than anything, visually reviewing
those cows that no longer will be in the herd certainly begs the question of why they won’t be. A little more feed here, a timely rain there or maybe just age: This is the time for the manager to ask questions. We often talk about developing numeric systems to evaluate and score cows for all the numerous problems. The challenge with that is that cows generally are seen and worked only once in the fall. The
A pondering point: I occasionally hear the comment that a producer does not keep any performance data. Performance data is key to moving a herd forward. However, in reality, for many reasons, performance data tends to be a long way down the priority list. Although the actual work is done at the same time, the total number of culls is not known until 3” wide version next opportunity to reassess the the end of the day.

cow’s fault, but the bottom line is that open cows are market beef. So where does the data fit in? Data is critical, but during the work day, its use is not always obvious. Granted, the chute-side evaluator needs to make a keep-ormarket decision, but reviewing the previous year’s data is critical to guiding the operation. Did those changes get made the previous year? Did one see a change in cow longevity? Will a change be seen in this year’s data? Actually, given all the activity, the majority of culls are determined chute-side, so a lot, if not most, of the culling is done before the data sheets are reviewed.

Local employees receive John Deere award
With the development of new technology and high performance systems for John Deere equipment, it is critically important that customers receive exceptional service from highly trained product experts, technicians and aftermarket support personnel. Cervus Coronation participates in a comprehensive training program with John Deere to help their employees reach certain standards of expertise. Recently, Chris Chambers achieved Advanced level recognition for the Service Technician program. Brian Selzler achieved Master level recognition for the Service Manager program. These levels of achievement were accomplished by completing extensive training in the John
Deere University program. They also received special plaques of recognition to honour their accomplishments. John Deere University credits are earned in various categories to ensure expertise in the sales, service or parts departments of John Deere dealerships. The structure for this recognition is similar to achieving credit hours in a university. This ongoing training program is just one of the tools used by Cervus Coronation to improve overall support and service to customers in their trade area. For more information, please contact Cervus Coronation or visit their Website at www.cervusequipment.com.
