Grayson Excavating had a slow start to the water and sewer replacement project on 1st Ave. North reported CAO Plachner at the Sept. 21 council meeting, which put them a week behind. Following a meeting with the Grayson engineer and Coun. Al Bremer and CAO Plachner they are having no problems moving forward in completing the project. Council motioned to provide their annual sponsorship for Morrin School’s awards night. In other correspondence, John Siemens asked council to consider the option of waiving the $1 photocopy expenditure for the purpose of providing people attending the council meetings a copy of the agenda and previous month’s unapproved minutes for the purpose of following along with the political process during the meetings. He also requested that copies of the minutes be available at town office for residents to access. The request went on to say, if “this is too much to ask”, Siemens said in his letter, he was prepared to put a copy of the agenda and the approved minutes on the Morrin web page.

RV units no allowed on motel lot in Clive Lisa Joy

ECA Review reporter A motel in Clive can’t allow people to live in RV units on its lot any longer. At its regular meeting Sept. 26, council passed a motion directing administration to inform the motel owners that RV’s are an inappropriate use on their lot and not permitted. “We will request their compliance,” said Clive Chief

Bev Krochak told village council that the motel was allowing people to live in trailers on its lots and there were complaints from some Clive residents.

Clive council voted in favour of Parkland Regional Library’s (PRL) proposed 2017 budget, which indicates a two per cent increase.

CORONATION COUNCIL

Historical designation denied Council was not happy the hear at their regular council meeting on Mon. Sept. 26 that the request to designate the Coronation Water Tower as a Provincial Historic Resource by the Alberta Government Heritage Division was denied. The letter stated that the tower was evaluated for historial and architectural significance. “I have determined that the site may possess local or regional importance but does not have province-wide significance,” stated David Link, Assistant Deputy Minister. Council will not drop the initiative as they disagree with the decision.

Ambulance Radio system

Council did not reach a decision as to whether they wanted to take on the operation of the East Central Ambulance radio communication system that the association is no longer using it. The local fire departments all utilize the system so council had previously passed a resolution in favour of the proposal pending approval of the other partnering municipalities. Partners will meet on Oct. 20 to discuss the proposal and it’s operational and fiscal implications. Partners include Halkirk, Castor, Coronation, Veteran, Consort, the County of Paintearth and Special Areas #4. There are a number of unknowns stated CAO Sandra Kulyk regarding operating

costs such as utilities and insurance.

Parkland Library budget

Taking into consideration the Alberta economy, Coun. Keith Griffiths motioned that a letter be drafted to Parkland Library asking for a budget with a zero per cent increase rather than the 7.7 per cent increase in the proposed 2017 budget as a result of a revised wage and salary grid with incremental increases.

Foundation Board rep

Town Council does not provide council members sitting on boards that do not have a fiscal implication on the town’s budget therefore did not appoint a representative to the Hospital Foundation Board as per their request however Coun. Jackie Brigley volunteered herself to sit on the board.

Coal Coalition

Council will encourage Paintearth Economic Partnership Society (PEPS) to pay the membership to the Coal Assocition of Canada following a meeting attended by Coun. Griffiths and CAO Kulyk including the municipalities of Halkirk, Castor, Coronation, Forestburg, the County of Paintearth and reps from Paintearth Coal Mine and the Coal Association of Canada.

Harvest Roundup Steak Supper & Dance

The group discussed the need to educate residents about coal and the misinformation that is being spread including the government’s decision based more on ideology than on scientific fact, lobbying, getting the power plants to actively lobby and demonstrate that Albertans rely on all types of power generation. Wind, solar and hydro can’t replace the gap that will be created with the loss of coal generated power. Solar and wind power can’t produce enough to replace the 52 per cent that is being produced by coal generated plants. Something has to fill that gap. The group will continue to work together on this initiative including developing a Facebook page and structure an educational initiative in the schools.

The cost represents about $8.04 per capital for Clive for a total of $5,427, said CAO Kenney. According to PRL, they are the second lowest funded library system of the seven systems in the province.

Both teams fought hard against some tough teams from big schools. On Sept. 24 both teams travelled to Stettler. The girls enjoyed the challenge of facing some tough teams and held their own against teams with more experience. The boys won one of their round th robin sets and lost to a strong St. Thomas Aquinas grade 9 team. This past Sat.

There have been a few staff changes this year as Christine Nichols is welcomed into the front office and Diana Wilson is a new teacher’s assistant in the grade 3/4 room. Christine was at the school a few years ago in a different position and we are glad to have her back! The staff and students at Theresetta school want to send out a huge congratulations to Trish Newman and family on the birth of their baby boy, Cruz. Trish has been a teacher’s assistant at the school for many years and will be missed this year as she is taking the year off.

Cont’d from Pg 1 “Since attending a number of meetings,” stated Siemens in his letter, “I have become more aware of the challenges and decisions Council has to make and I would like all residents to have the same information and to be informed without having to attend should they choose not to.” “I think this will have to be tabled until next council meeting,” said Lacher, “until all [councillors] are here.” Councillor David Macleod was absent.

Awards

Awards: Charlese Gridley, Karson Gridley and Kyra Gridley. Lacher reported that the water had been shut off at the trailer dump. “They can still dump but there will be no water to flush,” stated Mayor Lacher, explaining the need to shut off the water before it “freezes on us.” “It’s happened before,” added CAO Plachner. The short meeting was adjourned by 7:30 p.m.

ON THE OTHER HAND

God save America by B. Schimke There is not a female in the country that has climbed her way to the top or near the top in industry or politics without having had to work twice as hard as her male counterparts with equivalent education and experience. That’s just the reality. And that is certainly how it has unfolded during the presidential campaign between Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump. The stark contrast between the expectations in the first debate was striking. There was no expectation put on Trump. He was just required to show up and keep his cool. If he did that, he would surpass expectations and would likely see a bump in the polls.

held her family together. Lest we have forgotten, it was March 9, 2007 during Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial that three-time married Newt Gingrich publicly acknowledged that he had cheated on his first and second wives. Ironically it was Gingrich who was leading the charge to impeach Bill Clinton because of his infidelity. Trump cheated on his first wife, Ivana, with a younger mistress, Marla Maples, who would become his second wife. Two children later and bored with Maples, Donald ditched her to marry his third and current trophy wife. Giuliani is another admitted adulterer, thrice married and publically unfaithful to his wives. What hypocrisy! It’s all right for these three adulterers with their warped sense of self-righteousness to hold powerful elected offices, but it’s What nonsense, wrong for the wife of an adulterer to hold similar offices of power.

Politicians want to change what your vote means Dear Editor, Politicians want to change what your vote means. Question asked: Should there be a Referendum?

Here is the way I see a new and different election process which is more democratic than the “first through the gate process” we currently have. This process goes for the provinces as well. The current method in my view is not democratic at all. In theory 26 per cent of the popular vote could elect 100 per cent of the seats. Turn to A truly, Pg 5

Often labelled inappropriately Dear Editor, The other day Hilary Clinton made a “gaffe” as the press reported it. A string of very “deplorable” words rolled off her tongue as she belittled thousands of Americans. Their crime is not that of blowing up a building, stealing classified secrets that may jeopardize the safety of all Americans, or manipulating the stock market. Their fault is the fact they are not among those who support her run for president. No, they are the plumbers, coal miners, farmers, carpenters and taxpayers who see in Donald Trump something that they do not see in the political elite. Right or wrong, they are fed up with what we call “political correctness”. Now I ask you, what is really meant by that phrase? It appears those who are the socalled leaders in our country and our neighbour to the south can employ derogatory terms at will when referring to anyone who is not of their ilk. This is so evident when those who do not agree with certain lifestyles or certain political agendas are attacked verbally. It is not uncommon to hear slurs such as racist or bigot spew from the mouths of the politicially correct when they cannot convince the masses to follow their lead. This mindset carries through into all manner of social and political fields and is at the heart of Hilary Clinton’s comments. She illustrated her complete

arrogance and elitism by using the phobic words she employed. But she is certainly not alone. It is a type of bullying used by those who want to further their agenda and they are not adverse to using these methods in order to accomplish their goals. The idea that we are to be kind and loving to all and not call them names only applies to the common Joe, not to these folks. The word phobia is so often misued. The meaning according to Webster’s dictionary is “an irrational, persistent fear or dread”. I think most of us have known or maybe even experienced some sort of phobia . . . claustrophobia, a fear of small spaces; acrophobia, a fear of heights; and yes, arachnophobia, a fear of spiders. What I want to point out is that a phobia is not an opinion. So when a person who does not agree with a certain lifestyle is called homophobic, the word is misused. Or, if I am cautious about who we allow into our country due to certain behaviours exhibited by an ethnic or religious group that does not imply I am xenophobic which means a fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners, it simply means I have a different opinion than some. The idea that our dislike of someone or something stems from fear is a fallacy. I’m afraid of a tiger but I really like them. I am not afraid of a mouse but I really don’t like them!

VIEWPOINT

Alberta government rubbing salt in the wound

by Paige MacPherson, CTF Alberta Director The Alberta government does not control the price of oil. If it’s been said once, it’s been said a million times. It’s the main line of defense from the government when facing its fiscal critics. The Alberta government does not control the price of oil. However, the Alberta government does control its policy reaction to the price of oil. And right now, that reaction is to

grab a handful of salt and rub it right where it hurts. For the first time since Statistics Canada began collecting data in the 1970s, Alberta’s unemployment rate has surpassed that of Nova Scotia. For decades, Nova Scotians have migrated to Alberta in droves to find work. East Coasters are a dime a dozen in Calgary and beyond. But now, alongside other Albertans, many find

themselves struggling with the same lack of jobs they faced back east. Alberta’s unemployment rate was spiked recently by a large number of new people entering the province’s labour force, without the availability of jobs with which to match them. Those hardest hit are aged 15-18. These workers are mostly seeking low-skilled, part-time work – jobs generally created by Alberta’s retail stores and

A truly democratic division

Cont’d from Pg 4 Think back to Social Credit and the Conservatives where around 40 per cent of the popular vote delivered about 90 per cent of the seats. That resulted into dictatorships every time. With my proposal all parties will have a chance of getting at least some members into parliament (even the communists or a pot party). If you think about the Green Party currently having only one member in the federal parliament, while the percentage was about seven per cent of the popular vote clearly indicates for more than one seat. It should have been seven

per cent of 340 seats, which is 23 seats. This may help many realize the justification of the following proposal. Here it is: All parties make up a list of their candidates which will have to be apportioned in accordance with the population of each province. Eg. Party X makes a list of, let’s say 100 candidates (graduated - the party’s choice) with the leader on the top. From there the list goes one for each province and territory and starts with the next tier until the 100 names have been put down. However, provinces with the greater population would get proportionally

Glass houses Cont’d from Pg 4 In today’s politically correct society those who support a traditional view are often labelled inappropriately and are considered either hateful or radical. We are urged to get on the band wagon, after all, this is 2016. So regardless of how immoral or ridiculous some laws, thoughts or actions are, we are suppose to rubber stamp them simply because those in leadership say we should. In a free society all should be able to express their

restaurants. Unfortunately, these businesses have small margins and are the ones hit fastest by tax and wage hikes. With the provincial recession, Albertans are already consuming less. This reality should have signalled that businesses need support in the form of lower taxes and lessened regulation. The Alberta government didn’t drop the price of oil. The government didn’t spark the recession. But they are certainly fanning the flames. Almost immediately, Alberta’s NDP government hiked business taxes, personal income taxes, alcohol and tobacco taxes, train fuel taxes, education property taxes, doubled the existing ‘big emitter’ carbon levy and introduced a whopper of a carbon tax and substantial minimum wage hikes. These policy choices (yes, the government had a choice) were all made at the same time the federal government hiked taxes and Canada Pension Plan premiums, and municipal governments in Calgary and Edmonton hiked property taxes for the umpteenth time.

Protests at the legislature have been frequent. Business groups have begged the government to please take a step back and put their steamrolling tax hikes on hold. Calgary’s small businesses are dropping like flies. None of it seems to matter to the government. Recently, Lethbridge restaurant owner explained to Global News that a minimum wage hike would force him to cut staff by 50 per cent. (It should be self-evident that a business must turn a profit in order to create jobs.) He wrote to Lethbridge East MLA Maria Fitzpatrick. Her response? Fitzpatrick called him selfish. Publicly. Why isn’t the government receptive in the least to the plain-faced struggles of those who are paying our MLAs’ tabs? Perhaps we should start phrasing it in a way they’ll actually respond to: If you want healthy tax revenue, you need a healthy business climate that respects job creators. Just ask the Nova Scotians-turned-Albertans who call this once-prospering province home.

more people elected to parliament than others. In other words, a province with three million people will get three members and the one wth one million people only one. Some figuring has to be done, but it is quite possible to do. Next: for argument’s sake, let’s say that 12 million people vote for 340 seats. That would mean 12,000,000 divided by 340 equals 35,300 votes gets you one candidate. If Party X gets a total of 430,000 votes then each of the provinces and territories will get one member in parliament. The mathematics will have to be worked out to make it more precise.

Fire Prevention

Week Don’t wait! Check the date October 9 to 15, 2016

Replace smoke alarms every 10 years

by Special Areas Fire Chief , Glen Durand As we enter into the fall season trying to wrap up those outside tasks while the weather is so nice, let me remind you of an important task that needs to be checked indoors - that is our Smoke Detectors. Yes it’s that time again, Fire Prevention Week starting on Oct. 9 through to the 16 across North America. Fire prevention should be practiced daily but this week has been set aside for the last century to reinforce that awareness. Each year there is a theme and this year’s theme is: Don’t Wait - Check the Date, Replace Every 10 years. This is year three of the smoke detector theme and appropriately so, because not everyone is getting this lifesaving message that smoke detectors do afford home owners precious time to safely evacuate. This link shows how little time there actually is: http:// www.youtube.com/ Statistic show that fire kills an average of eight people each week in Canada with 73 per cent of these fatalities occurring in our homes. Some other startling facts are: - 25 per cent of home fires started in the bedroom - Half of all home fire deaths happen between 11pm-7am - 3/5 of home fire deaths happen in homes with no alarms or ones not working - A working smoke alarm doubles a person’s chance of surviving a fire and can reduce fire fatalities by up to 90 per cent - 200 CO deaths occur per year With these known facts, why would you chance not maintaining one, let alone not having one? To maximize the effectiveness of smoke detectors, be sure they are firstly placed and mounted according to manufactures suggestions. Typically that would be in center of room, on ceiling or wall close to ceiling ( within 30 cm of ceiling) as smoke rises, keep them away from windows, heater registers, doors, corners or anything that may prevent smoke from reaching detector. Also keep your smoke detector three meters away from cooking appliances, to prevent nuisance alarms. For cooking areas, a photoelectric model

would be a good choice over the ionization type. Along with correct placement they need to be maintained as well which would include that they are not to be painted over and replace the battery once a year unless it is a 10 year battery in which the monthly test will confirm its operation. In keeping with this theme, be sure to check the date of manufacture which is located on the back of the device. This obviously would require removal from the base. Prior to removal some detectors will have a plastic pin that will need to be removed to facilitate the removal from base. If the date is

Replacement detectors needs to be compatible with other smoke detectors if they are interconnected with other detectors within the home. Interconnected is when smoke detectors are wirelessly or hardwired together so if one becomes activated, they all sound alerting occupants on all levels of the building. Each level of the home needs smoke detectors along with one in each sleeping room as many occupants sleep with their doors closed reducing the chances of a hallway detector alerting occupants in time.

Fire Prevention Week Quiet year so far for Hanna Fire Dept. By David Mohl Fire Chief, Town of Hanna 2016 has been a quiet year so far for the Hanna Fire Department. The mild winter weather at the beginning of the year led to less motor vehicle accidents in our area. The amount of rain that the area received in the spring and summer has caused us to have the lowest amount of grass fires in years. During the past year regional training has continued to be a priority with two different firefighter courses being offered. The department had many members in these courses. In September the Fire Department took delivery of a new fire engine, a 2016 Rosenbauer pumper. It has been 12 years since the last pumper was purchased by the Town of Hanna and the Department has been working on the project for over 2 years. This truck which will replace the 1986 fire engine was funded through a grant from the Province of Alberta for $350000 with the remaining

Sound the alarm

Buying smoke alarms doesn’t have to be complicated

$150000 being split 50/50 between the Town of Hanna and the Special Areas Board. The theme this year for fire prevention week is “Don`t Wait, Check the Date, Replace Smoke Alarms that are over 10 years of age” I would ask everyone to test their smoke alarms monthly and replace the batteries at least once a year. Statistics have shown that a working Smoke Alarm cuts your chances of dying in a fire in half. Fires that happen in homes account for about 70% of all fire deaths in Alberta. Some of the leading causes of home fires are cooking, heating, electrical, smoking materials, and arson vandalism. I would ask all the citizens of Hanna and the surrounding area to take the time to

inspect their homes carefully for fire and injury hazards. Also please remember that in the Hanna area you need only to call 911 to contact the RCMP, Ambulance or the Fire Department. Thank all the members of the Fire Department who respond to incidents at any time day or night. A special thank you to the member`s spouses who are always so supportive. My appreciation to the member`s employers who allow the firefighters to leave work with no notice. I would also like to thank the Town of Hanna administration for the support the department receives in the day to day operations, and the Hanna Town Council and Special Areas Board for their continued support.

Fire Prevention Week Message from the Acting Fire Commissioner

October 9, 2016 marks the beginning of another Fire Prevention Week. The theme this year features smoke alarms and the importance of replacing aged, out of date smoke alarms. Why focus on smoke alarms three years in a row? Quite simply, because smoke alarms are your best tool for safety in your home but they are taken for granted. Research shows us that a properly installed and working smoke alarm can cut the chances of dying in a fire in half. Yet we know that too many homes in Alberta do not have this

life-saving device and in too many homes they have been disabled. In as little as three minutes, a fire can become deadly to the occupants due to toxic smoke from burning synthetic materials present in drapes, carpeting and furniture. Fires don’t happen like in the movies. They are fast and dangerous and we need every possible second to evacuate. Smoke alarms are a key part this quick evacuation. So we will continue to remind all Albertans about the tragedies and loss fires can cause. And as always, we will

take this opportunity to remind Albertans about the ways they can prevent fires and protect themselves and their families. Yours in fire safety, Spence Sample Acting Fire Commissioner Office of the Fire Commissioner Municipal Affairs

Which is better?

Cont’d from Pg 8 Most people who die in fires die from the inhalation of smoke which has toxic gases, and not from burn injuries. Statistics from Alberta Municipal Affairs show most fire deaths happen during the night when people are sleeping. It is vital that smoke alarms can give us the warning we need to get out of our homes quickly in case of a fire. When you shop for your smoke alarms, you will find ionization or photoelectric alarms. What do these terms mean? Which type is better? An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoke from flaming fires – like from a flaming pan fire. A photoelectric alarm is generally more Altario Fire Department, from the left, Ryan Davis, Jack Baier, Debra Murphy, Fire Chief Bruce responsive to smoke from smoldering fires – like from a Kohlman, Deputy Fire Chief/EMR Wendy Murphy, Todd Murphy, Jim Murphy, Bob Murphy, EMR cigarette igniting a slow burning Leslie Davis and Dean Forrester. fire on a sofa cushion. “Laboratory tests indicate that either type of alarm is equally effective in the home,” he explains. “Many household fires produce detectable amounts of both visible and invisible smoke. Either detector will provide suitable warning for a safe escape from a fire emergency.” Nevertheless, to cover all possibilities he says families may want to install one of each type of smoke alarm. Dual ionization/photoelectric alarms, which combine both technologies in one alarm, are also available. Be sure that, whichever smoke alarms you buy, they have been tested and labeled by an independent testing laboratory such as Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (cUL) which means the product is certified for the Canadian market, and to the appliBindloss Fire Department, from the left, Fire Chief Cresten Andersen, Deputy Fire Chief Paul cable Canadian standard.

Vacuum the “An ounce of prevention is worth smoke alarm can get clogged and this outside of the smoke alarms to remove a pound of cure.” may prevent smoke entering any cobwebs and dust. His famous quote lends itself perfectly to the discussion of fire safety. “It takes a small investment of time to set your home up with properly functioning smoke alarms,” says Acting Fire Commissioner Spence Sample. “And that investment might just save the lives of your family.” To ensure your family will be alerted to any smoke or fire Veteran Fire Department, from the left: Fire Chief Darryl Tkach, Tracey Caseley, Pauline Howe, Safety danger, Alberta’s Codes Officer Dave Walsh, Paul Lafontaine, Jaime Glazier, Tracy Nelson, Robert Howe and Lieutenant Office of the Fire Addison Tkach. Commissioner has four guidelines. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, including the basement. Install smoke alarms inside bedrooms. Smoke alarms should be mounted high on walls or on ceilings by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid installing smoke alarms near windows, doors or air ducts where drafts might interfere with their operation. In larger or multi-story homes, the sound from a distant smoke alarm may be reduced to the point that it may not be loud enough to Jenner Fire Department, from the left, back row: Deputy Chief Keith Ritz, Dawn Russmison, Fire provide proper warning, Medical Responder (FMR) and Carmen Stopanski FMR.

This means that when one smoke alarm sounds, they all do. A licensed electrician can install hard-wired multiple-station alarms. Wireless alarms, which manufacturers have more recently begun producing, can be installed by the homeowner. “Although the normal life span of a smoke alarm is 10 years, they are electronic devices,” says Sample. “They can become inactive as they age Youngstown Fire Department, from the left: Mark Gregorie, James Laughlin, Ernie Ruppert, over time.

First, press the test button. The alarm should sound within a few seconds. This will ensure the alarm is receiving power. Next, test your alarms with smoke. (Never use an open-flame to test the alarm as you could burn yourself or start a fire). “Monthly testing is essential to make sure smoke alarms are in working condition. This is the only way to know for sure.” If your alarms are battery operated, replace the batteries at least once each year or Cessford Fire Department, from the left, Shelly Keirstead, Scott Williams, Mark Williams, Chad Williams, when the low battery chirping Darin Neufeld, Ken Pedersen, Lane Lucas, Ryan Duckworth and Deputy Fire Chief, Wade Christianson. sound is emitted by the alarm.

Cont’d from Pg 9 Some alarms come equipped with strobe lights to alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing. There are also available specialized notification appliances, such as a pillow or bed shaker, which are activated by the sound of the smoke alarm. Alarms are available that use lithium batteries and ten-year power cells. These power sources can operate for up to 10 years without requiring a change of battery. “Don’t forget that even if you have lithium batteries or ten-year power cells, the smoke alarm unit still needs to be replaced in ten years,” reminds Sample. Combination unit offer a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm in one unit. Make sure to note the difference between the sound of each alarm. Some alarms come with remote-controlled testing buttons. There is no need to climb up on a ladder when you test these smoke alarms. This feature allows you to use most standard TV/ VCR remote controls to test your smoke alarm. Hush buttons allow you to temporarily silence the smoke alarm in the event of a “nuisance” alarm, for example, from cooking fumes. Pressing the hush button automatically switches the alarm to a reduced sensitivity condition for a limited period of time. If a real fire occurs, and the quantity of smoke reaching the smoke alarm is sufficient, the alarm will sound.

Canadian Badlands Pheasant Festival - Stettler 2016 marks the third year of the Canadian Badlands Pheasant FestivalStettler hosted in the Town and County of Stettler thanks to many gracious land owners and volunteers. The festival brings together people from across Alberta and even as far as Vancouver Island to take part in various events learning more about the Chinese ring-neck pheasant. Although, the festival does offer private pheasant hunting opportunities, the festival is more than just hunting! Take part in one or more events from learning to cook pheasant to training dogs to participating in a trap shoot competition. The dedicated volunteers encourage locals and those travelling long distances to participate and learn more about conservations and how to ethically harvest your own gamebird and prepare it. Practice your shot at the Stettler trap shoot Saturday afternoon, October 15. The Stettler Trap Club is hosting a competition 1 mile west of the Stettler Town and County Museum. This is the first year of the competition but is sure to be a fun afternoon with prizes

awarded at the end. A $10 registration includes 1 round of targets and afternoon of comradery, practice and enjoyment. If you are interested in participating and have questions, give Rob a call at 403-740-6702. The Culinary Learning Experience gives you an opportunity to learn how

to cook several pheasant dishes with a professional chef from Alberta. All ingredients are provided and the chef will walk you through the preparation to present a gourmet pheasant meal. Last year’s participants raved about the experience. We had participants from Stettler, Grand Prairie and Calgary learn how to cook Confit

Pheasant Leg, Pan Seared Bacon Wrapped Pheasant Breasts, and Pan Roasted Pheasants. You may be wondering what the best part of the whole experience could be? Enjoying your dishes with new friends at the end of the session, of course! Have you been contemplating training your new dog? Possibly preparing for an upcoming upland game bird hunt? Join Randy Blanchard from Blackfoot Kennels as he goes over the four stages of training: 1. Explain 2. Force 3. Praise 4. Test as well as E-Collar Uses and Abuses. Rick will be in Stettler Saturday, October 15 from 8am-1pm. Online registration is available for the session as well as lunch. We would like to invite locals to partake in the banquet on Friday, October 14. Join the volunteers, landowners and hunters for a delicious supper, live and silent auction, bar and entertainment. This is a great opportunity to interact with visitors to the Stettler area and enjoy a downright good time. The Canadian Badlands Pheasant

Festival- Stettler is committed to the education of ethical hunting practices and conservation of pheasants in the County of Stettler. Upon the completion of the festival additional pheasant roosters along with 300 hens are released into the County. The Pheasant Festival committee has worked with Alberta Conservation Association and Alberta Fish & Wildlife to ensure pheasants are released into suitable habitat. It is the hope of the committee that pheasants will become a natural sighting as they once were. If you would like to support the conservation of the pheasants, we do have an adopta-hen program that allows you to purchase a hen that will be released following the festival. Hunting will take place throughout the County of Stettler. If you are interested in partaking in a hunt or two, we offer full and half day hunts. Each half day hunt includes the release of 8 male pheasants onto a private quarter of land. Limited hunts are available, so register quickly to avoid disappointment.

Dose makes the poison 6 ' 1 6 Co r o n a t i o n / S t e t t l e r , A b .

by Cam Dahl, President of Cereals Canada I was recently being interviewed by a reporter from Toronto when she made a startling statement about crop inputs “even one molecule of these chemicals can be dangerous”. That statement is, of course, completely wrong. But this is a common point of view that threatens the social license of modern agriculture. All of us involved in agriculture must work together to counter this misperception. Warfarin is an example that clearly demonstrates the importance of “how much”. Warfarin is taken by millions of people every day to help manage heart conditions. When the product is used as a drug it saves many lives. But a little higher dose? Then Warfarin becomes what it was originally designed to be used for – rat poison. The dose, or “how much” is clearly important. The science behind product approvals in Canada is not well understood. This is problematic. This lack of understanding is why we have seen the rise of pesticide bans in some provinces. This is why some countries can get away with using pseudo-safety concerns to restrict trade. It is why products like glyphosate viewed with skepticism by some consumers, despite the fact that glyphosate is one of the most studied crop inputs in use today. Glyphosate provides and interesting example. In fact glyphosate is much safer than many things found in your kitchen cupboards. LD50 is the common measure of the toxicity of a substance. The lower the number the more toxic the product. The LD50 of common baking soda is 4,200 mg/kg. The LD50 of vinegar is 3,320 mg/kg. The LD50 of glyphosate is 5,600 mg/kg. In other words, measured scientifically, both baking soda and vinegar are significantly more toxic than glyphosate. Unfortunately science will not win the hearts and minds of urban consumers. It will be hard to convince

By agriculture. in the world. The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (part of Health Canada) employs over 350 scientists whose sole purpose is to conduct evaluations of new pesticides and re-evaluations of products that have been on the market for some time. A potential new pesticide must go through over 200 different health and environmental studies before approval is given for use. Our regulatory system is pre-cautionary. Canadian legislation requires a 10-fold margin of safety before products are registered. This means potential exposure must be ten times below the levels that have been scientifically shown to be safe. Canadian legislation and regulation specifically ensures that new products are safe for everyone including the most vulnerable in society, like pregnant women, children and the elderly. Agriculture needs to do a better job of getting the word out on the rigour of our science based system. Governments too must do a better job of communicating, in plain language, the measures taken to ensure that Canadians are safe. But this is not just a communications exercise. We must do more. “Science-based” applies to more • than just government policy. This is also the basic foundation of best management onDale the farm.

LEGISLATURE

Necessity is the mother of innovation in Hanna by Rick Strankman MLA, Drumheller Stettler, Member of the Official Wildrose Opposition Agricultural producers in Alberta are facing some varying degrees of uncertainty; uncertainty that is being exacerbated by regulations and changes legislated by government. Through the hastily impleStrankman mented regulations and legislation it is beginning to have an unintended negative cumulative effect on the bottom line for a lot of producers. Recently one of Alberta’s largest feedlot operators in Alberta, Western Feedlots Ltd., decided to voluntarily

wind down cattle ownership and cattle feeding operations. In their announcement they revealed that “poor political and economic environment” in Alberta were also contributing factors to this decision. Without a doubt other contributing factors also played a roll in this decision; among them is the existing high risk/low return environment. Economic indicators such as the move by one of the industries major players should be an indication that the market is facing challenges that will most definitely affect profitability and the future of the industry in Alberta. The Alberta government has recently announced that they will be raising the provincial loan guarantee cap of $55 million to $100 million in a move to support the province’s cattle

feeders. The Alberta government is failing to understand that the cattle feeders do not need them to hold their hand; they’d prefer the government clear the way for them to be self sufficient, in the process this would improve the “political environment.” Creating a new web of debt, particularly one that is backed by taxpayers is

“

government is failing to understand that the cattle feeders do not need them to hold their hand.

FLAGSTAFF COUNTY

“

not a fiscally prudent move considering the long term consequences that history has shown to be completely unmanageable. In the case of Alberta cattle feeders, it will make little difference if they are being seduced or whether the offer is made with the best of intentions, based on industry warning of a “poor economic environment”, the offer of more debt does not solve the market problems they face. With the ability to do business unobstructed by government, private businesses have always had the ability to be the cornerstone of our economy. The trap of being caught in a web of more debt will not and can not create wealth, it can however act as a road block and create further instability. Time and again the cost of government interference in commerce results in higher input costs.

Infrastructure assessment key to region’s future Submitted The first phase of the assessment to determine the state of infrastructure in the nine Flagstaff Intermunicipal Partnership (FIP) member communities is nearly 85 per cent complete. Launched this past August, the information gathered is critical to help FIP make informed decisions about the regions’ future. “This assessment is an extremely important piece of the Flagstaff Regional Governance Initiative,” said Bob Coutts, Deputy Mayor of Forestburg and FIP Chair. “It will give us a vital understanding of the infrastructure’s condition and needs for each community as we explore new models of regional collaboration.” Since August, Edmontonbased Urban Systems (www. urbansystems.ca) has been

working with FIP administrators to assess the state of a wide range of municipal infrastructure, including: • Transportation (roads, sidewalks and trails) • Utilities (water, wastewater, stormwater and gas) • Parks and Municipal Facilities (buildings and contents) “This is a very large undertaking, and municipal administrators from the region have been working diligently to provide us with the information we need – they understand its importance and its role in their informed decision making,” said Golnaz Azimi, Urban Systems Community Infrastructure Consultant and Project Lead. “FIP should be commended. Having nine communities do this kind of detailed assessment as one region isn’t very common,

Don’t let windy days worry you!

and the findings have the potential to benefit the region for decades.” The FIP member communities will have a comprehensive overview of the infrastructure they own and their replacement costs by March 2017, at which time it will be presented to FIP and made available to the public. The cost of the project is $350 thousand and was funded by the provincial government. The majority of the costs were dedicated to the large amount of time required to gather and analyze the information for all nine communities, with a smaller portion going towards project management.
