BASHAW COUNCIL

Exploring funding for infrastructure projects Lisa Joy

ECA Review reporter Town of Bashaw Council, at its regular meeting Sept. 1, unanimously voted in favour of proceeding with engineering designs for the Lagoon upgrade project. “They decided it was prudent to proceed with $25,000 to $30,000 approval for the preliminary study that serves as the application for the Water for Life/Water wastewater grant,” said Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Theresa Fuller. But council still has to tackle the 54 Avenue Project, which is estimated to cost about $2.5 million.

CAO Fuller told council, “This amount is a challenge and would involve a fairly substantial debenture component.” A phased approach, completing about half of the project, would cost about $811,750 in the first phase. Administration presented council with funding plan options for the project. One option involved a shortfall of about $335,746 with the town offsetting the amount through town reserves or borrowing. “At this juncture in time, we are strategizing as to which funding plan will enable the town to complete as many priority projects without having to debenture or completely tap out

reserves,” said CAO Fuller Tuesday.

Historical society eyes working with local groups

In spite of a huge programming effort by the Bashaw Firehall Museum and Bashaw Tourist Information Centre, the number of visitors over the summer was low. From June 1 to Aug. 8, the Bashaw Tourist Information Centre had 198 visitors and the Bashaw Firehall Museum had 215 visitors. Coun. Bryan Gust, during council’s regular meeting Sept. 1, pointed out that, “these aren’t very big numbers.” Chief Administrative Officer

Theresa Fuller said the group “put in a lot of effort to stimulate activity” and commended organizer Marj Savage. Savage, in her written report to council, suggested the historical society work with the United Church Youth Group, Bashaw Youth Foundation, Bashaw Library, Bashaw Recreation Board and the Bashaw and District Support Services to review program opportunities. “There is a great opportunity for the Historical Society to be part of a progressive, active coalition to offer the community, and in fact the province, an example of how rural communities can highlight their historic contributions to their community.”

Savage said the historical society could work with various non-profit groups to share resources and manpower to better deliver programs. She also suggested that next year the Firehall Museum and tourist information centre open for the May long weekend. Savage said Bashaw Tourism Community Guide should be reviewed adding “there is a need to highlight Buffalo Lake” because there are no booklets or tourism handouts from either Stettler or Camrose counties showing an effective map with recreation sites, camping opportunities and communities surrounding Buffalo Lake. Council received the report as information.

PRAIRIE LAND SCHOOL DIVISION

JC Charyk renovations continue Dena Clark

ECA Review reporter Facilities Director Kent Spath and the maintenance team “did amazing work to get the school ready”, reported Superintendent Cam McKeage to the board of trustees during the Prairie Land Regional Division’s (PLRD) last regular meeting on Thur., Sept. 1 in reference to the first day of school for the JC Charyk School in Hanna. McKeage shared his and colleague, Chief Deputy Superintendent Steven Nielsen’s initial stress that the school might not be ready for students after their “walk through” of the construction site only days before the first day of school. However, McKeage was quick to compliment Spath and his team for the hard work they did in cleaning and preparing everything in time. McKeage also reported that phase two of the modernization has been completed. Demolition for phase three has begun with classrooms being ripped out. “There will be concerns over the “big” (north) gym bleachers”, said McKeage. The previous capacity was 325 however the new bleachers only have capacity for 146 with the new bleachers having individual seats. That is less than half the previous. Although the gym space is the same

there is an added lift and no stage. In response to the various trustee concerns that were voiced, McKeage mentioned he has met with JC Charyk Principal Mike Kukurudza to discuss how the school can host events for larger crowds despite the lowered seating capacity. In addition to losing bleacher capacity in the “big” gym, the second gym will also be losing bleacher space. Furthermore, teaching staff will also need to be more efficient and resourceful when it comes to storing their teaching supplies, McKeage continued. The school will be losing storage space. Each classroom will have a small storage area however staff will no longer be able to sit on resources for years on end. The entire modernization project is scheduled to be completed on time, said McKeage, in January 2017. With that in mind the board discussed the move date for Hanna primary school. With the modernization being completed in January, which is not only the middle of the winter it is also the middle of the school year - what is best for the students while also considering the expectation that the demolition is scheduled for sometime after the construction has been completed. More discussions on this subject are scheduled.

Parking had a few glitches on the first day of school with the construction taking place. The parents drop off is now along 5th Street however, as was to be expected, not everyone was aware of this change which caused some traffic confusion. Student parking was a subject of discussion amongst board members who were curious about why the green space was not used, but instead students were parking across from Palliser Trail. Administration explained that the green space posed a challenge for rain or snow conditions and the current location is only half a block from the school. All residents in the area were notified of the traffic changes for not only their information but for the safety of the students.

LGBTQ policy in the school

Superintendent McKeage sought direction from board members following a positive response from the minister of education regarding the LGBTQ (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer) Policy 23, the welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environment expectations the school division was required to submit. Although the board considered releasing the document to the public once again, for their final input, many trustees felt that subject had been asked and answered. The board will make the policy available to the public in it’s final format as the motion to accept Policy 23 was voted on and carried.

board by the Primrose family, trustees discussed implementing a transportation cross-jurisdiction policy. The Primrose family, who currently reside near the borders of both the PLRD and Clearview School divisions, but still within the PLRD, requested their children (grades one and four) be released from attending a PLRD school and instead by allowed to attend a Clearview school - Big Valley, as it was a better fit for their lifestyle and family business. The Primrose’s request was approved by the PLRD board for the upcoming school year however that transfer is also dependant on Clearview’s approval of accepting the additional bussing costs. Upon investigation into the matter, Chief Deputy Superintendent Steven Nielsen learned of, what appears to be a case of “discrimination” by a previous board of trustees by denying the Primrose’s transfer request on two separate occasions. Apparently a bus drove right past the Primrose residence to pick up another family however the Primroses were refused when they asked to be included on the route for reasons unknown. Nielsen, although sympathetic to the Primrose situation, encouraged the board of trustees to develop a firm policy on the matter to “be fair to everyone. You either have a border or you don’t”, he said. “Some parents drive their kids to the border.” Nielsen suggested approaching other jurisdictions for the purpose of discussing a mutually agreed upon buffer zone of approximately three miles. More discussions on the subject are scheduled for the future.

Clearview is now expecting 202 students for early learning, which represents an increase of 21 per cent. The school division’s Start Right program is designed for all children ages 3 - 5. Students can also receive additional supports before beginning Kindergarten. “The community and division staff are working well together to support our Start Right program,” explained Superintendent Barron. “The earlier we can bring students into Clearview the sooner we can provide supports in areas such as reading and math, in schools where children

Gus Wetter School is 12 students higher for a total enrollment of 241 students this year. Much of this increase was the result of parents enrolling students in the local community school after a school closed in Halkirk. These numbers are considered preliminary as school divisions in Alberta receive funding based on actual student enrolments on September.

ON THE OTHER HAND

Better the elephant we know

by B.P. Schimke For anyone who is a history buff, it’s quite scary watching world leaders fawn over the brutal leaders and supposed capitalists of Communist China. Unfortunately, this is neither the first time nor will it be the last where capitalists and governments from democratic countries are prepared to make a deal with the devil for the almighty dollar. Oh how excited we were when Russia turned to capitalism and free elections. North American and European businesses couldn’t get in fast enough to make money. And tragically, but usual when the free market takes over a former communist country, all state assets quickly move into the hands of a few select members and friends of the former Proletariat. Today Russia is controlled by ex-KGB Putin, elections are a farce, most Russians are living in poverty and there is an insanely wealthy few. Even more disturbing, Russia is back to its former role as a dangerous aggressor in Europe and the Middle East.

“

Unfortunately the Chinese elephant doesn’t share any of our values and beliefs and has only one goal—becoming the next world powerhouse and usurping America’s influence worldwide.

“

We, as citizens of the free world, have been brainwashed into believing that capitalism and democracy are one and the same. They’re not. Capitalism is an economic model and democracy is a political ideology. Capitalism doesn’t bring the poor out of poverty. Capitalism doesn’t bring peace. Capitalism doesn’t bring human rights. Capitalism can operate just fine under communism, a dictatorship or a monarchy. This past week Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Communist China enthusiastically talking about free trade agreements and membership in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Sure China has a market economy today but it’s in the same vain as Russia. The “free enterprise” part of China is completely controlled by a few upper echelon members or friends of the Communist Party. These repugnantly rich guys got the lion share of all the state assets for virtually nothing. Their wealth and influence is solely dependent on being agents of the Communist Party brass. They are not businessmen as we understand a businessman in a democracy. Chinese elites know if they do not do the will of the Communist Party, they would

instantly lose all their personal wealth, their freedoms and possibly their lives. In the 1980s when Canada signed the free trade deal with the elephant next door it was between two nations who shared common values and each had well-established democracies and an educated public. China is now an economic giant and is increasingly expanding its military presence throughout Asia. Today it is building a military base in Djibouti, a country in Africa near the Suez Canal, a major world shipping corridor. It has purchased electricity assets on four continents. It has bought up Calgaryheadquartered Nexen and wants to buy more oil sands companies in Canada. It is building roads and railways along the old Silk Road to provide direct access between China and Europe. It has bought up vast tracks of agricultural lands throughout Africa. Should we not be afraid that a country that locks up locals and foreigners for criticizing their government now wants Canada to become a member of their investment bank? Do we really want to have our debt beholden to Communists? Is it smart to give Communist-controlled corporations the ability to sue the Canadian government when they deem that our laws or public policies infringe on their right to earn profits? We are between a rock and a hard place. China is now our second largest trading partner after the United States -- $20 billion dollars per year, mostly in the form of raw materials. Canola makes up 15 per cent of the total. Canadian farmers can ill afford to lose that contract, but at the same time, China doesn’t play fair in the international market place. China has been breaking international trading conventions for years by setting the yuan to give their businesses unfair trade advantages. Australia, who was one of the first to sign a trade deal with China, found out Communists have no qualms about imposing surprise rules to disadvantage Australian businesses and keep the trade balance in China’s favour. We’ve hit reality—sustained economic growth to generate wealth means we now have to make deals with the devil. The United States was one kind of elephant. Unfortunately the Chinese elephant doesn’t share any of our values and beliefs and has only one goal—becoming the next world powerhouse and usurping America’s influence worldwide. I’ve been asked, “Why do you call China, Communist China” all the time? Because that’s what China is—a Communist country with a market economy. Too many Western multinational corporations and democratic governments, desperate to do business with China, want you lulled into forgetting that our economic future is increasingly being moved under the indirect power of communism. And that is very scary indeed!

VIEWPOINT

With Alberta’s finances this bad, now is no time for a pub crawl by Paige MacPherson, Alberta Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation This op-ed was published in the Edmonton Journal on September 6, 2016. Alberta’s NDP government is missing the forest for the weeds. In the lead up to the recent whopper of a first quarter fiscal update, the finance minister should have been focusing on the budget quickly snowballing out of control. Instead, Minister Ceci spent his time flitting about from brewery to brewery, promoting his enormous tax hike on all craft beers and subsequent corporate welfare to the local breweries the government deems worthy. On Tuesday, he was back in Edmonton to field questions on the province’s budgetary woes – clearly in dire straits – but failed to take a pint of responsibility for the role his government’s policy choices have played. The province is now in a net debt position for the first time in 18 years. Our operational deficit has ballooned to $10.9 billion. Albertans will now officially be lighting $1 billion on fire every year to pay the interest on the debt. And the government still has no real plan to balance the budget. There’s a vague promise of budget balance by 2024 – a date that’s been revised time and again. Recall, it was only months ago that Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci said deciding on any budget date at all was “wishful thinking.” The government has put 100 per cent of the budgetary blame on unexpected wildfires and the price of oil. Of course those are major factors – but government policies played a major role, too. Choices matter when you’re the big boss of a province. That’s why we elect

governments: to make choices and to take responsibility for the outcomes. Minister Ceci said his government doesn’t want to make “knee-jerk cuts” and put families “in a worse position.” Knee-jerk cuts? The NDP government was elected nearly a year and a half ago. They must be aware that we have a system wherein governments are elected for four or five years. Their mandate is one-quarter eaten up. We’ve blown past the ‘benefit of the doubt’ period. This government has had time to plan – and to act. At this point, ‘knee-jerk’ is nothing more than a talking point. Inaction is just as much a choice as action. Instead of making tough calls, the government has chosen to sit on its hands. What’s required is a serious plan to reduce spending and tighten government’s belt. Alberta’s per-capita spending is among the highest in Canada, and when it comes to healthcare – Alberta’s largest ministry – we’re the biggest per-capita spenders. Turn to Business, Pg 7

Correction

In last week’s paper the ECA Review reported the youth centre was to be demolished in error. Although Forestburg village council had expressed their wish to have the building demolished, Deputy Mayor Miller moved to offer the building, plus land to be specified by the CAO and public works, to the Friends of the Battle River Railway for $1. The village will not be contributing yearly grants to the group nor allowing the property to be tax exempt.

Business tax revenues down by $877 million Cont’d from Pg 6 The government has increased a whole host of taxes, including an incoming multi-billion dollar carbon tax that will raise the price of almost everything (despite the government’s claim that it doesn’t want to make things worse for families). But notwithstanding carefully worded promises from every tax-andspend government in history, raising taxes doesn’t always mean an automatic increase in revenues. The main cause for the spike in Alberta’s deficit is declining business tax revenues, which are down by $877 million. Meanwhile, the gravy train chugs forward. Total expenses increased by $1.2 billion, up to $52.3 billion. Part of

that new spending is the $12 million subsidy to small brewers (which Ceci says could grow to $20 million annually). “We’re doing this to incentivize production in Alberta, to diversify our economy,” Ceci said after heLONG 2C, 100% Black + Green PMSin 368July FLUSH RIGHT raised beer taxes for the second time since being elected. Set aside the downer that this policy will increase beer prices for cashstrapped Albertan consumers. This is the government’s grand “economic diversification” plan? Everyone loves a good craft beer. In fact, we all need a beer now more than ever. But big picture: corporate profits are expected to drop by 27 per cent. Investment is draining out of the province. Alberta’s unemployment rate is

now higher than Nova Scotia’s. The government assured us that its tax hikes were wonderful, coupled with economic diversification that, like our valiant steed, would gallop in and save the day. They had a plan: like governments’ (failed) efforts before

this, “economic diversification” would save the day. Well, the taxes are rising, and the revenues are declining. The debt is ballooning. And the finance minister is pub-crawling.

Extra benefits to collect Cont’d from Pg 5 In fact, for the large majority of Canadians earning less than $40,000 a year, filing taxes doesn’t mean a bill to pay - it means extra benefits to collect. This part of the budget, Helping Canadians Receive the Tax Benefits They Deserve, promises that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will contact low-income individuals who have not filed a return, telling them what benefits they may be entitled to. We often hear about the impact of poverty and income inequality on health, educational outcomes and child and adult well-being. Might encouraging people to file their taxes help people avoid poor outcomes? In Sudbury, Ont., Mary, a single parent with two young children, pays $800 a month to rent an apartment and works part time at minimum wage to earn $14,000 a year. By filing her taxes, she can access child benefits, the GST/ HST credit, the federal working income tax benefit, the Ontario Trillium Benefit and the Children’s Activity Tax Credit. So she could more than double her income to $31,845. That would raise this family above the poverty line. Raj, recently widowed in Manitoba, aged 60 and disabled, struggles to live on $7,800 a year in a private apartment. If she files her taxes, she could receive a $674 monthly Allowance for the Survivor

benefit since her deceased spouse was over 65. This benefit, as well as other federal and provincial refundable tax credits, would raise her annual income to $19,540, bringing her above the poverty line. And filing taxes doesn’t just provide additional income. In Manitoba and Ontario, filing taxes allows some lowincome people to access provincial prescription drug coverage. It also allows people with severe disabilities to receive extra tax credits and retirement savings grants. So why don’t many lowincome people file taxes? Many Canadians have no idea they would get money back. And they fear being told they have to pay the government for back taxes they can’t afford. The CFCS, while accessing $21 million, found the total taxes paid by the 9,000 individuals they saw last year was $169,704. On balance, almost no one owed anything. Tax filing support is a hugely important anti-poverty and health intervention. The Canada Revenue Agency supports programs that prepare taxes for low-income Canadians through its Community Volunteer Income Tax Program. But these programs mostly operate in tax filing season, when waits are long and demand exceeds supply. Before 2008, the CRA had

more funding, provided more personnel, computers, in-person training and assistance with tax issues to agencies in inner city areas. Many of these programs were forced to scale back or close when the CRA’s funding was cut back. Tax filing services such as these should be reinstated and extended to serve low-income Canadians throughout the year. Filing taxes is also often held up by individuals who don’t have the documentation necessary to access certain benefits they may be entitled to. The CRA should work with provincial governments to address this. It’s time we make sure all lowincome Canadians access the benefits they deserve. It is incumbent on the government to make everyone aware of those benefits. The CRA needs to provide strong support to ensure barrier-free tax filing.

When school/playground zones are in effect and what the differences are RCMP press release With school starting, the Stettler RCMP would like to take the time to remind drivers when school/playground zones are in effect and what the differences are: School zones are in effect when school is in session. School zone times are 1.) 8 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. 2.) 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and 3.) 3 p.m. 4:30 p.m. A municipality may make changes to these times set out by the province but if that’s the case, they should be posted beneath the school zone sign. The prescribed speed limit in School Zones is 30km/hr. The school zone ends when either a higher ‘maximum’ speed sign or ‘end of school zone’ sign is present. Playground zones are in effect every day from 8:30 a.m. until one hour after sunset. A municipality may vary these hours, but if the hours are changed, they will be posted beneath the playground zone sign. The speed limit within a playground zone is 30km/hr. unless otherwise posted. Playground areas are identified by a playground sign without a speed limit attached to it. These signs indicate to drivers there may be children playing nearby and to use caution when driving through the area. The speed limit in these areas does not change.

Extra cautious

Alberta’s Office of Traffic Safety is reminding drivers to be extra cautious as students return to school. About 5,000 school buses transport more than 400,000 children to school each day across Alberta. Nearly half of the drivers who have been involved in collisions with those buses committed an error, the most common of which was following too closely. Still, the responsibility to avoid accidents is shared. “Drivers play a big part in school safety by slowing down and showing extra caution in school and playground zones. At the same time, students need to use caution when riding a bus, walking, cycling or skateboarding to school,” said Brian Mason, Minister of Transportation. Drivers are also reminded that school zone times are in effect when school is in session. Children can be excited and anxious at this time of year and they might not be paying attention to their own safety and crossing safely.

Back to School facts

An average of 230 children under 15 are killed or injured as pedestrians or cyclists each year between 2010 and 2014. School buses in Alberta travel an estimated 450,000 kilometres a day – that’s more than 10 times around the earth. The penalty for failing to stop for a school bus with its flashing red lights activated is $543 and six demerit points.
