Whether to restructure the railing on the West Stettler Park Bridge due to a few complaints has Stettler Town Council looking for some public feedback. At the Sept. 6 regular meeting, Director of Parks and Leisure
Services Lee Penner presented council with options to replace the railings on the 33-year old structure with either chain link fence or steel spindles the entire length of the bridge. According to Penner, the town has received about 10 complaints regarding the possibility of children or pets falling or climbing
through the existing railings. The current railings meet the building code for bridges according to an inspection by IJD Inspections. “Thousands upon thousands of people have crossed that bridge,” stated Mayor Dick Richards, who was concerned that making changes based on a handful of

ALIX VILLAGE COUNCIL
Funding struggles for aging infrastructure Lisa Joy
ECA Review reporter If at first you don’t succeed try again and that’s exactly what Alix is doing as the village applies for funding to deal with its aging infrastructure. Even though the village applied for Alberta
Municipal Water/ Wastewater Partnership Program (AMWWP) grant last year – and was determined to be eligible – they weren’t approve but they are reapplying this year. “We will build on what we did last year and we’re pretty hopeful,” Tanya Meston, Alix’s Director of
Responsibility and care needed Cont’d from Pg 1 Richards went on to say that, while safety is a primary concern for the town, people using the park need to take responsibility and care when walking across the bridge with their kids or pets. The rest of council agreed with Richards that unless there was a greater demand for changes to the bridge, that the town should leave the bridge railing as is.
Downtown property okayed for sale
After over four years of inspections, compliance orders and a court ordered demolition, a downtown property at 5013 50 Avenue, which was in tax arrears, has now moved to the for sale stage. Council approved a motion by Coun. Malcolm Fischer to go through the formal process to acquire the lot, then council approved a motion by Coun. Darcy Bachman to sell the lot. According to a timeline provided by the town, the first inspection of the property was recorded on June
20, 2012 with several inspections and compliance orders following. An Alberta Health Services inspection on June 28, 2013 deemed the building unfit for occupancy. After the town was granted an order for demolition, the work was completed in September 2015. Once the property is sold and all costs associated with the property, including unpaid taxes and demolition costs (which amounted to just over $32,000) are recovered, any remainder will be forwarded to the property owner.
Corporate Services, told council at its regular meeting Sept. 7. Meston, in her report to council, said she continues to consult with their planner at Parkland Community Planning Services. Alix needs about $4 million in capital work over the next five to six years to upgrade its aging infrastructure. Earlier this year a delegation from MPE told village council that the three main projects needing to be done the next few years are the lift station, 49 St. sewer and lagoon upgrades. The province said the village was eligible for $1.2 million in upgrades through the Water for Life Strategy. This would mean the village would only have to pay $300,000 for the project.
Council denies tax break to CP Rail
Alix council unanimously voted against waiving a tax
penalty to CP Rail. CP Rail asked council to waive a $367.31 tax penalty on its $3,060.85 tax bill saying they didn’t receive the bill by the June 30 due date. Chief Administrative Officer Troy Jenkins told council, during their regular meeting Sept. 7, that he “strongly recommends council deny the request.” “We apply tax penalties and rates fairly. They missed a deadline.” Mayor Arlene Nelson agreed saying, “We have denied other people.”
Community works together
Chief Administrative Officer Troy Jenkins said the community of Alix pulled together for Wild Pink Yonder last month. “It was a wonderful event,” he said. “The community came together and everyone did a great job.”

Serious two vehicle collision
Two people were taken to hospital, one in critical condition, following a serious collision on Hwy 9 near Drumheller on Fri.,
Sept. 9 at around 8:30 p.m. Reports were received by the Drumheller RCMP of an erratic driver near Range Road 19 - 3. The small sedan was said to have been crossing the centre line and entering the ditch. RCMP patrols were made but the vehicle was not located. A short time later a report of a head-on collision on Hwy 9 was received. The collision took place five kilometres north of Drumheller. A 2006 Ford Fusion is believed to have crossed the centre line and collided with an on-coming 2012 Dodge Ram. The 43 year-old male driver of the Ford was transported to hospital via STARS in critical condition. The 29 year-old driver of the Dodge was transported via ground ambulance in stable condition. Investigators are attempting to determine if alcohol or drugs played a role in this collision. Charges have not been laid.
OBITUARY
Traffic on Hwy 9 was diverted for several hours while the collision was investigated.
Attempted murder charge
Stettler RCMP officers responded to a shooting incident at a residential property in Stettler on April 7, 2015. An altercation at the property escalated to the point where a firearm was discharged. One male victim was treated at hospital for serious injuries and the person responsible fled the scene prior to police arrival. The victim received non-life threatening injuries and was released from hospital. On Sept. 9, 2016, following a lengthy investigation, 29-yearold Benoit Joseph Lacerte was arrested in Innisfail, Ab. and charged with attempted murder while using a firearm. Lacerte is currently in custody with a court appearance scheduled for Sept. 22 in Stettler.

VIEWPOINT
ON THE OTHER HAND
Greed or compassion by B.P. Schimke Yet again our universal health care is under attack. Dr. Brian Day owner of the for-profit Cambie surgery in Vancouver is taking the British Columbia Health Ministry to court. He is arguing that the Canadian Health Act is unconstitutional as it forces those with money to go on waitlists for surgery. Dr. Day argues that countries with a blended private/public system have better health outcomes, spend less public dollars and have much shorter wait times. Specifically, his supporters speak to European nations such as Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Great Britain but nary a mention of the United States. It’s easy to throw around a few wellchosen statistics to make your point for privatization. But Canadians must be mindful that under the provisions of NAFTA, any move by the courts to allow the private sector to usurp our government’s power to choose how to deliver medically-necessary services, will swing the doors open to American-style health care.
“
Excellence in health care is inclusive, not exclusive; humane not inhumane; people not profits, care not share prices.
“
If we’re being honest with ourselves, we really don’t want U.S.-style private health care. In our heart of hearts we know that unintended consequences come when profit takers become all powerful in health care delivery. Snowbirds know it best. There are those who can no longer afford to go south because of the high cost of medical insurance premiums. We’ve all heard the horror stories. A Canadian has a medical emergency south of the border only to learn a preexisting condition voided the coverage and they are personally on the hook for a mega bill. In fact, as much as snowbirds love the south, they return to Canada even in the dead of winter to access medical services. Most Western European countries score must higher for quality of life and health outcomes. It is also true most have a combination of private/public health care delivery. But so does Canada. Dentists and pharmacists are completely private and most doctors work within private professional corporations. Except for seniors, drug costs and specialty services such as chiropractors operate within the private insurance sphere. In Canada only medically necessary services are universally insured. A major difference between Canada and Western Europe is many corporations and governments do not provide health care benefits for their employees. Instead, countries such as Switzerland

and the Netherlands make it mandatory that all citizens purchase health insurance, with government help for those on lower incomes. Private insurance companies are also regulated. They must first be approved by government and then are required to offer standard insurance packages that include government-approved universal basics. Better yet, these insurance companies cannot deny medical services because of pre-existing conditions. Many Western European countries may have shorter wait times, but they too still struggle with wait times for nonemergency surgery because all citizens have equal access to services. It’s really not the private/public mix of health care delivery that allows many Western European countries to be more efficient and cost effective in health care delivery. It’s also life style. Europeans are generally more active than North Americans as cycling and walking is a way of life. Across the socio-economic strata, their citizens are better educated. They are also not afraid of high taxes. Those European countries that score highest on health outcomes have personal tax rates over 50 per cent. Universality has kept the economic spread between the top and the lowest earners much closer. Exercise, education and standard of living are all positive factors for healthier living. Sweden will be the country to watch. It took a radical turn 14 years ago when it chose to follow neo-conservative policies and move towards privatizing health care, education and social services. By 2015 private equity firms provided about 20 per cent of public hospital care and about 30 per cent of public primary care, all funded by the taxpayer. Unfortunately some of these private equity firms have already let the people down. The Swedish government launched a lawsuit against a major medical provider accusing them of tax avoidance and won. Canada needs to study and take ideas from the European private/public models, but we can do without Dr. Day’s cherry picking, profit-taking, American model. Dr. Day says “competition breeds excellence”! If that were the case, why did 40+ million Americans have no health insurance coverage before ObamaCare? Excellence in health care is inclusive, not exclusive; humane not inhumane; people not profits, care not share prices. Unfortunately, it appears the citizens of Sweden are already regretting their 14-year experiment with privatization. A 2014 survey by the Swedish SOM Institute found 69 per cent now oppose further privatization of public health, education and social services. Little wonder when they see private, foreignowned equity firms hired for health care delivery taking profits directly from tax dollars and then having the audacity to cheat on taxes owed. Profit taking and good health care delivery are mutually exclusive because greed and empathy are incompatible!

A chance for change Dear Editor: In the last federal election the Liberals won 53 per cent of the seats in parliament with only 39 per cent of the votes. So, even though a minority of Canadians voted for them, they have 100 per cent of the power. This month we have a chance to change that. With a mandate to consult Canadians from all walks of life, the Special Committee on Electoral Reform is travelling across Canada this autumn. The Committee is coming to Leduc on Thur., Sept. 29. If you want to appear at that meeting, you can send them a request at erre@parl. gc.ca. But you can also send them your opinion by email. If you’re wondering what ought to replace the current system, Fair Vote Canada has an excellent website discussing the various options, including the risks and the benefits
of each. They also provide information on what other democracies use. There are videos about three different kinds of proporational representation at this website: fairvote.ca/ proportional-representation/. The link to the Special Committee’s web page is: parl.gc.ca/ Committees/en/ERRE, and all the information you need to participate in this decision is on that page. Even if all you have time for is a quick email telling them that you do not support the status quo, I hope you do it, as the opportunity to change our electoral system is extremely rare. If we don’t speak up now, we give this government the opportunity to wiggle out of their promise to make our elections represent the views of all Canadians.

What does CPP expansion look like?
Cont’d from Pg 6 Only a quarter realize this is false; over 70 per cent of Canadians don’t realize that current retirees get nothing from the proposed CPP expansion (one-quarter of current retirees wrongly believe they will see larger CPP benefits as a result of CPP expansion).
Other poll highlights
Eighty-three per cent of employed Canadians do not support CPP expansion if it means employers will cut their wages over the seven-year implementation period. Over 80 per cent agree they want the government to consult them on plans to expand CPP In light of these results, CFIB strongly encourages governments to offer education to Canadians and engage them in consultations before any plan to expand CPP moves forward.
What does CPP expansion look like?
In a scheme that will be doubly damaging for many employees and their employers, the agreement in principle to expand CPP will not only increase the rate of contributions, it will also draw in additional income by raising the threshold on income that was previously exempted from contributions. Employer and employee premiums go up, starting in 2019, from the current 4.95 per cent of earnings to 5.95 oer cebt by 2023. CPP contributions will now be deducted on income up to a threshold of $82,700 (previously, the threshold was a maximum of $54,900 of a person’s income that was subject to mandatory CPP contributions). Beginning in 2024, a new “Upper Earnings Limit” comes into effect, which will be set at seven per cent above the Yearly Maximum
Pensionable Earnings level in 2024 and 14 per cent above it in 2025 (the upper earnings limit is projected to be $82,700 by 2025). Employees and employers will pay a 4 per cent premium on income between the two levels. The new plan aims to replace 33 per cent of income up to this higher ceiling (currently CPP is meant to replace 25 per cent of earnings). CFIB has filed Freedom of Information (FOI) requests with the provinces that signed the agreement, as well as with the federal government, seeking to determine whether governments did any economic impact analyses. CFIB also sent an open letter to premiers and the Prime Minister, encouraging them to share analyses they did on the CPP deal.
said they will face increased pressure to freeze or cut workers’ salaries. When asked about the best way for government to help Canadians save
more for retirement, only 18 per cent of employed Canadians and five per cent of small business owners chose mandatory increases in CPP contributions.
Signs of trouble are clear
The federal government has not committed to any further public consultations on the issue, despite the fact that polls show a low level of understanding about CPP expansion. CPP expansion is not the favoured choice of Canadians for retirement savings. A public opinion poll and corresponding CFIB member survey on the subject found that, if given a choice, Canadian small business owners and employees both prefer RRSPs, TFSAs and personal investments over mandated CPP increases. CFIB has been a leading voice behind calls to scrap the idea, pointing to research showing that an expanded CPP program leads to job cuts, downward pressure on wages, and the risk of business closures, especially during a time of economic uncertainty. Mandatory CPP expansion will also lead to economic pressures: over onethird of employed Canadians said such increases will reduce their ability to spend on essential goods and services; two-thirds of small business owners

But his effort to raise money for cancer research has lived on.
He called his journey the Marathon of Hope.
erry Fox, a Canadian athlete, was struck with bone cancer before he turned 20. Even though part of one leg was amputated, Terry turned a love of running into a challenge to raise money to fight cancer. His goal was to run across the entire country of Canada.
Sadly, Terry had to end his run after 143 days and 5,373 kilometers (3,339 miles). His cancer had spread to his lungs and he could no longer run. Terry passed away a few months later.
More than $700 million has been raised worldwide to date through the annual Terry Fox Run which is held every September in communities around the world.
Good table manners were expected at the Fox home. Use the pictures to complete three important table manners Terry learned growing up. (Some of the pictures would make really silly rules.)
As a child, Terry loved sports. He especially loved basketball. But in middle school, he was _________ than a lot of the team players. And his ________ were not very good either.

STAR GAZING
A nearby earth by Ken Tapping, 9 September, 2016 In the sky this week… Mars and Saturn lie very low in the southwest after dark. Mars is on the left and Saturn on the right. The Moon will reach First Quarter on the 9th. So far we have found well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars, including some that may be Earthlike. However, our excitement has been somewhat tempered by these planets being so far away they are effectively out of reach, at least for a while. Then there was the recent discovery that the nearest star after the Sun, Proxima Centauri, has a planet that could be Earthlike. That could change everything. We could actually send a space probe to have a closer look, using technologies we have. Proxima Centauri is a dim, red dwarf star, producing about 0.17% of the Sun’s energy output. Our Earth lies 150 million kilometres from the Sun, and every square metre of the side facing the Sun collects about 1400 watts of solar energy. This is what makes our world warm and habitable. If our Sun were as dim as Proxima Centauri, that figure would be about 2.4 watts per square metre. That is not much more than what Pluto receives. We would be frozen solid. However, if we were to move closer to the star we would collect more energy. If the Earth were to orbit Proxima Centauri at a distance of 6.2 million kilometres we would receive the amount of energy we now receive from
the Sun. The big difference is that Proxima Centauri is a red star. It would look like sunset all the time. Because our eyes are optimized for yellow light, this would take some getting used to. The newly-found planet has a mass of 1.3 Earths, which is tolerable. We could live on its surface and the feeling of being a bit heavier would wear off in time. It also lies about 7.5 million kilometres from its star. That is 1.3 million kilometres beyond the optimum distance of 6.2 million kilometres. This means it is receiving only about 70% of the energy needed to make it Earthlike. It could be frozen. However, there is hope. Turn to Rich, Pg 12

Plugging into People Power The alarm goes off, your feet hit the floor, and you flip the bathroom switch. You walk through the hallway into the kitchen, and turn on the lights. After filling the coffee pot or kettle, you plug it in, push start, and a few minutes later you have your morning brew. You grab the remote and turn on the morning news, while you unplug your phone charger. How many times a day do you use electricity? In the first few minutes of your day you flip on, plug in, turn on, and unplug from electricity without giving it a second thought. Apart from the click of a switch, the voice of an announcer on TV, or the noise of the appliances– electricity just quietly does its job. These days electricity travels quietly from pole to pole through lines strung across rural Alberta. Thirty-two Rural Electrification Associations (REA) distribute electricity across hundreds of kilometres of line to over 41,000 members. Those REAs are part of a larger cooperative movement in Canada dating back to the 1840s that now includes over 9,000 co-ops in nearly every business sector imaginable. When a co-op of any kind forms, it is exciting and people are involved. But, over time, it all becomes routine, similar to flipping on the light switch. There are the annual meetings with dry financials and bylaws to vote on. Years pass, the excitement wanes, and people go back to their busy lives. Alberta REAs have gone through the same ups and downs, but the REA distribution system has quietly hummed along providing reliable and cost effective power to rural residents. Amidst that quiet reliability we noticed a worrisome trend. Some REA members don’t know they are members. Others may be aware they are members, but they have no idea what the value is apart from being able to turn on lights and appliances at will. We want to reverse that trend and you can help. Check your power bill and see if your power is distributed by an REA. If it is, call your REA to validate your member information. Add the next Annual General Meeting to your calendar and plan to attend. Contact the director who is elected to represent your area. Get involved with keeping a locally owned business viable in your community. Active members are the people power that keeps an REA going strong. REA co-ops are owned by their members and governed by a Board of Directors elected from the membership. They rely heavily on member involvement. So we are taking to the newspaper, the radio, and social media to help spread the word. REAs are powerful coops with a history of energizing their members. Your REA wants you to get plugged in to the power of your REA co-op. Sponsored by the Alberta Federation of REAs Ltd.

Chicago Cubs ready to end historic drought by Bruce Penton When baseball’s history is digitally and visually recorded, how will the credit be dispersed to explain Chicago Cubs winning the World Series in 2016? They are going to win the Series, right? The Cubs, infamous for not Penton having won Major League Baseball’s top bauble since 1908, have been by far baseball’s best team in 2016 — the only club with a winning percentage above .600 and, in early September, a 16-game lead in the National League Central Division — and they can’t possibly blow it, can they? So where will the credit go? To team president Theo Epstein, the onetime boy wonder of the Boston Red Sox who took over direction of the Cubs five years ago and molded a championship team out of very promising
parts? Or will it go to manager Joe Maddon, who steered the Tampa Bay Rays to an American League East title in 2008 and was manager of the year in the NL last season with the Cubs? Will it go to the Cubs’ vaunted pitching staff, which has three players — Kyle Hendericks, Jon Lester and Jake Arrieta — among the top six in the National League in earnedrun average? Or will the reason for the Cubs success land at the feet of sluggers Kris Bryant, last year’s rookie of the year, and undisputed clubhouse leader Anthony Rizzo, both of whom are among the league leaders in home runs, slugging percentage and OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging)? To be truthful, the credit is spread around fairly evenly. The Cubs are a
balanced juggernaut with brilliant decisions being made in the front office, one of the calmest, smartest managers in the dugout and a cast of young talent that has been groomed for — wait for it — a dynasty. Yes, the Cubs, who have gone 108 years without a title, could run off three or four in a row now that everything in the Windy
City is properly lined up. Just keep Steve Bartman away from Wrigley Field. Of course, baseball being baseball, the Cubs might just lose in the first round of the playoffs because that’s what the Cubs are known for — being loveable losers. But their losing has to end sometime, doesn’t it? It says here this is the year.

Rich in carbon dioxide Cont’d from Pg 9 If we look back into the Earth’s remote past, we find that around 3.5 billion years ago, around a billion years after our planet formed, there were liquid water oceans and living creatures swimming or floating around in them. Our knowledge of how stars work, derived through the study of numerous examples, indicates that 3.5 billion years ago the Sun was about 70% of its current brightness. Why wasn’t the Earth frozen solid? The answer is almost certainly the greenhouse effect. Back then our atmosphere was rich in carbon dioxide and methane. These are powerful greenhouse gases, and what applied to the young Earth may well apply to the planet we have found orbiting Proxima Centauri. If that planet is like the young Earth, it too could have an atmosphere rich in greenhouse gases. That could raise the temperature to where liquid oceans might exist and life get started. One really exciting thing is that Proxima Centauri is close by cosmic terms, a mere 4.3 light years away. That is, at a distance where its light takes 4.3 years to get here. It is feasible to consider sending a spacecraft there for a closer look. The fastest moving manmade spacecraft out in space at the moment is moving at between 200,000 and 300,000
kilometres an hour. That would get us to Proxima Centauri in about 16,000 years. However, engineers have ideas for spacecraft that could reach maybe 10% of the speed of light, a speed of 30,000 kilometres a second. At that speed a spacecraft could get to Proxima Centauri is less than 50 years, depending on how hard it accelerates and decelerates. I once read a story where the crew of a spacecraft did the 50 or so years’ trip to Proxima Centauri only to find people already there. In the interim, someone had discovered a means of faster than light travel. The travellers were upset at spending a big chunk of their lives unnecessarily. However, this won’t upset a robot spacecraft.

Trending kitchen cabinet designs The kitchen is the heart of every home. Not only does it need to be functional, but as the hub of your family life, it also has to be visually stunning. To this effect, kitchen cabinets have moved away from the rustic and classical designs of previous years. In an effort to become more modern and sleek, cabinetry has adopted a new seamless style combining appearance and functionality.

Cocktails are back in a big way, leading many to outfit their homes with stylish yet functional bars. Regardless if it’s in a living room, basement or even a garage, your bar will be the focal point of any social gathering. Of course, there’s no need to go overboard; a home bar that fits your tastes and budget will get the job done when entertaining friends and family.
Kitchen cabinets make a move towards the modern!
The revival of the home bar
Bar basics
At the very least, your bar should have a countertop to serve drinks on as well as few stools for seating. It’s also handy to have shelves to house your bottles of liquor and glassware, as well as drawers for your tools. Next, you’ll need to choose between having a wet (sink) or dry bar (no sink). Having a sink is practical for washing your glasses, but it also means you’ll have to install you bar near a waterline. A small refrigerator is a definite must-have for any proper bartender. Outfitting your bar with a mini-fridge will allow you to keep a variety of useful items on hand, such as juices, soft drinks, beer and other bottled beverages.

is just one step towards determining your bar’s location. Its size, shape and functionality will also play a role in deciding where it will go. Ideally, you’ll want to place it on an empty wall away from foot traffic so it’s not in the way. Being close to the kitchen is practical if your bar lacks a fridge or a sink. However, the basement or garage might be better options if you have a rather large and ornate bar. Of course, if space is an issue in your home, you could always go with a quaint bar cart instead. The perfect solution for small spaces, these versatile little carts create a dedicated area for mixing drinks in virtually any room of your house.
