Rod Miller holds an old creamery hand tool called a butter pound maker, just one of over 10,000 antique tools in his collection. According to Miller, his tool collection consists of numerous automotive type tools, as well as bits and pieces from all walks of life. “If there’s anything rare and ugly, I gotta have it,” said Miller. Miller’s tool collection will go into the new building being constructed by the Big Valley Historical Society. ECA Review/D. Johnstone
Construction for new museum underway Construction of a new museum is well under way in the Village of Big Valley. The catalyst for the new construction came when Rod Miller, a member of The Big Valley Historical Society (BVHS), offered to donate his extensive antique tool collection to the society as a legacy on the condition that the society construct a building to house and display the collection. BVHS began planning and raising money for the project around 2008, according to the society’s president Lois Miller, and broke ground this past year. The property designated for the new museum first required demolition and removal of an old house and preparation of the ground for new construction. Miller stated that the society came up against a number of delays in proceeding
with the project that included “difficulty finding a cheaper building that the inspector would allow” and securing funding from the Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP), which reinvests lottery revenue into community capital projects. A CFEP grant of $75,000 was finally approved. When added to the donations the society had already received and $44,000 from two casinos, the project is well underway. According to Miller, after looking at several structure types, a ribbed quonset-style building was finally decided upon because it met the inspector’s requirement that the building be completely engineered. The cost was also within the society’s financial scope and would provide ample space for the massive tool collection.

“We’ve spent about $100,000 so far and everything is paid for up to this point,” said Miller. Miller noted that there was some opposition to the idea of a quonsettype structure but added that once completed, the front of the building will have an old-fashioned façade, allowing it to fit in with Big Valley’s historic look. The building is constructed of ribs, each rib being raised individually. The whole building uses a total of 4,302 bolts, all of which are initially hand tightened. Once the entire building is up, all the bolts will be snugged tight. The interior will be sheathed in R20 value blanket insulation specifically designed for this type of structure. The society is aiming for a 2015 spring official opening. Miller says they are hoping to get heat and lights in before

winter to enable continued work inside to have displays ready for the public. Currently, Rod Miller has a number of tools on display in the rail car portion of the Big Valley Museum. The new building will house tools not seen at the museum before. Depending on available space, the current tool displays may remain in the rail cars. The massive collection represents ‘hundreds and hundreds of hours of cleaning’ said Mr. Miller, to remove rust and bring the tools into a displayable state. As Mr. Miller points out, many modern tools are simply different versions of what has been used in one form or another for centuries. Visitors to the Big Valley Museum will usually find Mr. Miller with the tool collection, ready to answer questions and tell stories about each tool.

Town of Stettler approves new lease with Library Board Michael Stamou
News Reporter
Town of Stettler approved a new lease agreement with the Stettler and District Library Board at their regular council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21. CAO Greg Switenky explained that the current lease with the Library Board has expired so this item was on the agenda for renewal. “The difference between this lease and the old lease is the square footage. The last lease was based on the old square footage and then there were renovations that added space to the building. In the interest of good faith with our other funding partner, the county, we took the old rate, divided it by the old square footage and we found out the rate was $6.19 per square foot.” “We continued with that rate for the new square footage and it equals $42,000 and we are ultimately responsible for 65 per cent,” said Switenky. “I think $6.19 is a fantastic number and we are lucky to have that space there,” said Mayor Dick Richards. There was no further discussion so Coun. Darcy Bachman made a motion that the Town of Stettler Council approve
entering into a new lease agreement with the Stettler & District Library Board for the Library’s current area within the Stettler Recreation Centre (6,777 sq. ft.) for $42,000 per annum, subject to the said lease containing substantively the same conditions as the prior (expired) lease.
Strategic Plan Review
“Every year, in January, Council and senior administration come up with a strategy item list, things that are not within our capital budget and not within our operating budget but could be important to our community,” said CAO Switenky. CAO Switenky then went through each of the strategic items for the public at the meeting. He identified six strategic priorities for 2014 and the actions for those priorities. The priorities included equitable recreation cost sharing, healthcare improvements, a housing development strategy, an indoor sports facility, enhanced public communication of town accomplishments, and a community Internet speed and capability assessment audit. Coun. Sean Nolls made a motion to accept the Strategic Plan Review for information as presented.
Red Deer River Watershed Alliance
The next item on the agenda was a funding request from the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance. “We belong to two of these organizations and we are an active participant at the meetings. We also belong to the Red Deer River Municipal Group, which is a bit of a satellite of this group,” said CAO Switenky. “We have been a member of the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance since day one at 50 cents per capita.” Mayor Richards asked if there were any further questions. There were none so Coun. Will Brown made a motion that the Town of Stettler approve the 2015 funding request to the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance in the amount of $2,874.00 (5,748 X $.50 per capita).
Water Reservoir Lining Tender
“This was a project that was approved in our 2014 capital projects budget. It is for a liner for the big reservoir that is over by Sobey’s. We tried to fix it over the years and we spent good dollars trying to fix it over the years and it continues to have a leak,” said CAO Switenky. “Our director of operations was very pleased with the bid even though we only had one bidder as this is a very specialized project. The price
was even below her budget.” Mayor Richards asked if there were any questions or concerns. “We do have a recommendation from administration. Is there anyone that would like to make a motion?” asked Mayor Richards. Coun. Nolls made a motion that the Town of Stettler Council award the water reservoir lining tender to Knibb Developments Ltd. in the amount of $150,000. The remaining $25,000 of funding will be used to purchase a mixer for the reservoir with the installation by Knibb Developments Ltd. Total project cost is expected to be $175,000 to be paid for by Federal Gas Tax Funding. Kick off the season at the

Paintearth approves medical clinic renovations Michael Stamou
News Reporter
County of Paintearth has decided to move forward with the renovations to the Coronation medical clinic at their Council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21. CAO Tarolyn Peach explained the latest situation regarding the medical clinic renovations. “Representatives from the Physician Recruitment and Retention (R & R) committee and Alberta Health Services (AHS) have met to review proposed renovations to the Coronation Medical Clinic that need to be done to accommodate the two new physicians. A preliminary design has been approved by the R&R committee and AHS,” said Peach. “AHS requires a letter of commitment in order to commence work on the project and they will require that the projected budget costs be paid in advance. Any surplus funds on project completion will be returned.” “We have to put the money up and then if you don’t use it all they give it back to you,” said Reeve George Glazier. When asked who was going to do the work, Glazier replied, “It has to be an approved contractor and you can’t get local people unless they are on the approved list to do anything for Alberta Health Services.” CAO Peach explained that the county will pay for half of the renovations while the Town of Coronation will pay for the other half of the estimated costs of $194,000. “I was concerned whether we need it (the renovations) but I made a phone call and found out we need them,” said Glazier. “Right now, there are two doctors in Coronation and there are three offices so we need another office but there are enough exam rooms.” Glazier then addressed the work the
doctor retention committee has done over the last few years. “I am very proud of our area because, over the last three years, we will have recruited four new doctors to the region so that’s very good. When you have 80-something vacancies in the central zone, we have done very well,” he said. The County of Paintearth unanimoulsy approved the budget for the Coronation medical clinic renovations as presented, and further, that a letter of commitment be forwarded to Alberta Health Services, stating that the Town of Coronation and County of Paintearth will share the construction costs for the renovation project.
Fundraiser
CAO Peach explained that council has been invited to the Regimental Ball in Coronation for the Coronation/Consort Victim Services annual fundraiser. The committee would like to know if we will be purchasing tickets and, if so, how many tickets. “Put me down for two tickets,” said Glazier. “A table of eight is $375 so maybe we should just speak for a table of eight.” There was some further discussion regarding which councillors would attend the Regimental Ball and then a motion to attend was carried unanimously.

Local MP’s re-live Parliament Hill tragedy Leon Benoit, MP
The devastating events that shookParliament Hill were shocking and tragic. I thank everyone who called and emailed expressing concern about my welfare. Your thoughts and prayers are always welcome, and certainly greatly appreciated on a day such as yesterday. Personally, this was a frightening moment where I expected gunmen to walk through the unlocked doors shooting. I instantly envisioned a group of attackers shooting at will because if they had gotten by security there would be no one to stop them. Luckily, it was a lone gunman and thankfully the House of Commons security killed the terrorist before he could kill the Prime Minister and those of us in the Caucus Room. I thought of my wife, our children and our grandchildren and wondered if I would ever see them again. An incredible calm passed over me in spite of the fear. I was so proud of my fellow MPs (especially former police officers and CF personnel) who immediately took action to protect all of us. They, and others, barricaded the four doors and posted a ‘guard’ on both sides of each door with flag poles as weapons – which was all we had available in the room. It was a long day as we were in lockdown until about 9:30 pm, not knowing what was going on. This was definitely not a ‘normal’ day at the office. However, others suffered much more. It is heartbreaking to see the photos of Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, two Canadian Forces members murdered by cowards this week. This morning in the House of Commons Prime Minister Harper thanked all the men and women who stand in the face of evil to keep our Canadian values and people, safe. “In the past couple of decades we see across the world increasing places where the planet is descending into savagery and there are people who, every day of their

Influenza visits Alberta every year. The good news? Influenza vaccine gets here first.
Kevin Sorenson, MP
The Honourable Kevin Sorenson, Minister of State (Finance) and Member of Parliament for Crowfoot, issued the following statement: “In the midst of dangerous and tragic events on Parliament Hill, I witnessed some of Canada’s finest men and women in uniform display bravery that did our nation proud. Many others could have been harmed, but the courage of our first responders kept us safe. My prayers are with the family and friends of Corporal Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada. Likewise, my sympathies remain with the family and friends of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was killed earlier this week by an ISIL-inspired terrorist. We will forever remember their sacrifice and willingness to protect us. This week’s events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of attacks we have seen elsewhere around the globe. Together, we will remain vigilant against those at home or abroad who wish to harm us. We live in an increasingly dangerous and uncertain world, but Canada remains strong. Canadians will never be intimidated.”

Fibromyalgia was taking over her life!
Waking up every day in pain and not wanting to get out of bed is not something I enjoyed but I felt stuck and unhappy on a daily basis. I feared getting out of bed because I knew Fibromyalgia was going to take over. I couldn’t win; I couldn’t sleep at night, yet all I wanted to do was be in bed. I couldn’t work 5 days a week, I couldn’t exercise and all I did was think of Fibromyalgia. I couldn’t commit to entering a golf tournament a month in advance because I didn’t know how I would feel that day. I couldn’t even make supper plans for the same day. My life was dull. It was full of uncertainty and I experienced pain both physically and emotionally every second of every day. It’s scary because somewhere in my life I lost myself; and every ounce of confidence I had completely disappeared. On the first session I walked in with a 50 out of 100 pain level in my back and neck. I walked out Pain Free and I left with a calm mind and body and my severe migraine disappeared! After 5 sessions of hypnosis I am very happy and proud to say that I finally feel
like myself again. I have energy!! I smile and my pain is non-existent. My friends and family even notice a difference in me. I am proud of myself. It’s been so long since I have been happy with myself in any way and it feels great to know that I have the ability to control how I feel. I look forward to waking up every morning feeling refreshed, knowing I can go to work for the whole week and make it through the whole day feeling amazing! I know that after work I am going to go work out and not just because I can but because I want to! I couldn’t be happier with my outcome so far with my hypnosis sessions. It truly has changed my life. My thought process has taken a complete turn for the better and negativity no longer runs me. I own me! Positivity owns me! Any time negativity decides to creep upon me I have the power to shut it off. I recommend hypnosis. It is life changing. No matter what you want in life, it’s completely achievable with hypnosis. ~ Bobbi Wilson *** results vary

Regional cooperation important for Forestburg Debra Johnstone
Review Reporter
“Regional cooperation is not centralization,” stressed Mayor Peter Miller at Forestburg’s Oct. 22, 2014 council meeting. A number of items were covered, many that rely on cooperation between municipalities in the east central Alberta region including a new fire hall, regional policing, economic development and emergency management. Council decided to accept an invitation from Flagstaff County to an informal meeting in early November to discuss regional issues and collaboration. Each participant will bring forward these issues to the table for discussion. There was a lengthy discussion regarding plans for a new fire hall. The new hall would be funded mainly through an Alberta Communities Partnership grant. Flagstaff County and the villages of
Galahad and Heisler were approached to partner with Forestburg on the application for the grant. At the time of the meeting, the Village of Heisler has agreed to partner with Forestburg, Galahad had not yet responded and Flagstaff County had declined to participate. Council elected to await responses from all parties before proceeding. The Alberta Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) has invited a number of east central region communities to participate in an emergency management exercise to be held February 24-26, 2015. The exercise is intended to provide a learning opportunity for local services to work together to manage emergencies. Council decided to accept the invitation to participate. Council addressed a complaint regarding an angled parking stall on 50th
Avenue, in front of the Masonic Hall. Safety was the main issue for the individual who lodged the complaint, both with issues of vehicles backing out of the parking spot or for vehicles turning onto 50th not having clear visibility. Council opted to have public works ensure the yellow no parking zone from the corner to the first parking stall meets the legal requirements of the traffic act. Council gave third and final reading to the Business License by-law. A small number of business owners were on hand to voice their opinions of the by-law. All were supportive of the new fee structure that would see the fees determined by the business’s property tax status. Commercial businesses will see their license fee remain at $25 while home businesses will pay $120. The fine for operating a business without a license within corporate limits of Forestburg is $250.
Gillard back in as Clive mayor Lisa Joy
Review Reporter Anita Gillard was nominated as Clive’s mayor and unanimously approved by Village Council at its organizational meeting Oct. 27. “Thank you everyone for your confidence,” said Mayor Gillard. “I really enjoy this council. It’s the best I’ve worked with.” This is Gillard’s third term as mayor. She was elected nine years ago in a byelection and has been mayor for eight years now. Coun. Luci Henry was nominated as deputy mayor and unanimously voted in as well.
No pay increase
Council voted against giving themselves a cost of living increase this year. “I’m okay to leave it,” said Coun. Marvin Wieler. Mayor Gillard agreed. “Leave it the same for this year.”
FCSS funding
During its regular council meeting Oct.
27, council agreed to approve $5,472 in funding for Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) . They are required to pay $3,472.
Proposed regional fire changes
Village of Clive council unanimously voted in favour of supporting in principle Lacombe County’s proposed changes to the regional fire service. Lacombe County would take over the administrative operation of the regional fire service and dissolve the Lacombe Regional Fire Service Association (LRFS) replacing it with a regional fire service advisory committee. The partnering communities include the Village of Clive and Alix, Hamlet of Mirror, Towns of Bentley and Eckville, City of Lacombe and Lacombe County. Currently the City of Lacombe and the LRFS operate the regional fire services. The change would mean villages, towns and hamlet paying a portion to Lacombe County instead. “Any partnership we have with the county we pay our share,” said Mayor Gillard adding she supported the proposal in principle.
Coun. Wieler made the motion that the village support the county’s proposed change to the regional fire service. Coun. Dan Graden echoed the support saying, “We need it.”
Snow removal bylaw
Village residents must shovel the snow on their sidewalks within 48 hours of a snowfall and council plans on enforcing that bylaw this winter. Last winter council issued more warnings than tickets, said Chief Administrative Officer Carla Kenney, who asked council for direction this winter noting a few problem areas in the village. “Last year we discussed sidewalks way too much,” said Coun. Luci Henry. If homeowners don’t shovel sidewalks within the time frame outlined then the village will have the sidewalk cleared and bill the homeowner. Coun. Wieler suggested council notify residents that the village’s bylaw will be enforced this winter.
Approval was given to proceed with water main replacement in the 5000/5100 block of 49th Avenue to be completed in 2015, but defer paving until 2016 to allow the ground to settle. A number of residents in the 57th Street West area have lent their names to a request that the village consider planting additional trees along the west side of the street to protect residents from wind and snow. Due to overhead power lines running along the street, council’s concern is that power line set back regulations may prevent the addition of trees. Council opted to gather further information about alternatives before making a decision.

chance to get back in the game, however they were able to settle down and maintain their lead. The Saints started to pull ahead of their opponents with strong serving from Kyle Close, who had seven straight service points. The Cobras couldn’t recover and the Saints won the first set, 25-10. “We’ve struggled with our on-court communication, which was evident in our first set,” said Saints head coach Desiree Bargholz. “The boys refocused though, which they are really good at, and fought back to win the set easily.” The second set was a completely different story as the Saints dominated right from the start. Both teams traded points early in the set and then the Saints pulled ahead with strong serving from Bobby Gilbertson, who had six straight service points to give his team a 9-4 lead.
The Saints gained an even bigger lead from the hot serving of Close, who had nine straight service points to give the Saints a 20-7 lead. The Saints then ran into trouble closing out the second set due to
the Cobras hard work and never give up attitude. Even with the Cobras pressure, the Saints won the second set, 25-12. “The second set went much more smoothly and was the perfect demonstration of how
much they’ve improved so far this year. I can see us continuing on to zones this year, and hopefully further,” said Bargholz. The Saints will now prepare for the league championship on Saturday, November 1.

One of the major items discussed at the council meeting was the minimum tax rate for empty lots or vacant premises. Currently, the minimum rate is $400. Knudson was concerned that some premises utilize services just as all other homes, but pay much less in the way of property taxes because the premises are not kept up nor improved upon. “What deters people from buying a house and leaving it to deteriorate?” asked Knudson.
The art of woodworking
Submitted Five Grade 9 students , Stefanie Martin, Freia Gaudreau, Amanda Torpe, Renee Almberg and Nolan Johnson are to be given credit for giving the school sign a face lift. They carefully sanded the sign and then painted it in the Hughenden Public School (HPS) color. Four students travelled to the University of Alberta on October 9 for the Health Sciences Discovery Days. Attendees got to learn about hip replacement surgery and see other body part replacements. They also participated in hands on emergency room techniques with a simulation incident, learned about Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and got to watch the technician take MRI’s and interpret them. They learned about health services career opportunities and extract DNA and hear about medical genetics. The end of the day involved a panel of health professionals who relayed their academic journeys and experiences. Students Martina Fontaine, Nicole Johnson, Charday Motley and Reece Marchand were impressed with the day and left for home feeling very inspired about their post-secondary plans.
Pumpkin contest
The high school leadership class organized a pumpkin decorating contest. Each grade was given five pumpkins that they were to decorate, incorporating some kind of theme. Students were given 40 minutes to implement their plans and come up with their pumpkin families. There sure was a creative buzz going on in the gym ThursdayOct. 23 as students
collaborated with each other to accomplish the task. First place, a class pizza party, went to Grade 5 for their farm theme; second place went to Grade 4 for with their angry birds and third place went to Grade 7 for the Teletubbies. On Halloween, the leadership class will be sponsoring “spooky” activities in the afternoon for all students. The school hosted a dance Friday, Oct. 24. As usual the ‘mocktails’ were a hit. Over 100 students took in the dance. Funds raised helps to cover costs of an upcoming leadership conference. Do you have any old cell phones, pagers and/or palm pilots? If so, the high school English class is collecting them to raise money for their field trip to watch a live performance drama production. Hughenden School is the recipient of a $2000 music grant from Newcap Radio that will go towards an elementary hand bells program. We will all get to hear the bells at the Christmas Concert in December! A good majority of students and staff were wearing red on Friday out of recognition for the recent slain soldier in Ottawa and our military.
Acadia Colony Charolais & Angus
BULL & FEMALE SALE
Council opted to investigate whether a rate increase might be merited. Directional signage for the village was a topic councillors focused on with discussion covering themes and location. All councillors agreed that a western theme would be appropriate. The signs would direct visitors to public sites and services including the golf course or the roundhouse. CAO Michelle White reported that the public washrooms are now closed for the season and the campground will follow. The public washrooms were well utilized as determined by the high water usage. White also reported that public works has completed the flushing of fire hydrants and storage of picnic tables. Council addressed several other items during the meeting. Big Valley Historical Society has applied for and received a variance permit for the new tool museum. Coun. Miller abstained from the vote due to conflict of interest. The Ag Society will see its lease
renewed for another 20-year term. Council approved two FCSS grants. The Legion will receive $500 for their seniors dinner and Big Valley School will receive $1500 for Trickster Theatre. Council reviewed drafts of the multiyear capital budget for 2015 priorities, as well as the first phase of a trail system on the east side of Railway Avenue. Council also had first reading of the Animal Control Bylaw Amendments were made and council determined further research was required for certain aspects of the bylaw. A definition of what defines a kennel, and what to do with visiting animals, such as wagon trains coming into town, or visiting pets were some aspects still underdetermined. Council did discuss that households were only allowed three dogs plus one litter of pups maximum, and that would require a hobby license of $100. Anything over that was a kennel but kennels presently are not allowed in the village.
