the horses are. They are a replica of how you are.” No hydraulic rock pickers remove rocks from the field. Instead, they are handpicked by strenuous manual labour. The crop will be harvested this fall using two restored vintage John Deere binders. The public is welcome to watch brute horsepower in action and experience this old fashioned farming event on May 13 - 14. Just head to Lynn Cain and Mike Forsyth’s farm, which is located west of the Joffre plant on Freedom Road and Township Road 38-4. Follow Township Road 38-4 west for two miles and it will turn into Range Road 26-2. Go north for half a mile. The event, of course, depends on Mother Nature and it could be rained out. “The power of one horse is amazing but when you get six and eight hooked up and working together, you have some real horsepower.”

of eight draft horses are Percherons. Getting horses moving in the spring is similar to compelling humans to budge after a long winter of inactivity. “You have to get them stronger and get them in shape,” said Fulford. “If you get them in pretty good shape you can get six to eight hours a day. When they first start out they go three to four hours. You don’t want to exhaust them, their lungs, you want to muscle tire them. You give them a lot of breaks to get their wind; plough 10 minutes and stop for five minutes. Once they are in shape they can go half an hour and stop for 10 minutes.” To get the horses in motion, Fulford commands them with ‘team’ or a clicking sound using the cheek or tongue. To make them stop ‘whoa’ works, and if they’re tired, just hesitating will prompt the enormous work horses to stop. “It does take a lot of patience. The calmer you are the calmer

The lost ways of farming the land with horses are being restored. Brett Fulford and Cam Anderson expect 46 draft horses from across Alberta to help plow and seed land near Clive for 24-2 Draft Horses’ fourth annual seeding event utilizing authentic horsepower on May 13 - 14. “We will be plowing down last year’s barley stubble and then disking, harrowing and seeding with a 1940ish Van Brunt, fourhorse seed drill,” said Fulford. This year 24-2 Draft Horses have teamed up with Old Prairie Sentinel Distillery in Lacombe. They will seed about 15 acres of Newdale, two-row malting barley on Lynn Cain and Mike Forsyth’s land, who practice organic farming in Lacombe County. The entire project should take two days, weather permitting. “With the amount of horses

we will have we should have it all finished up by Sunday afternoon.” The work, however, is physically demanding on the men and women who are bringing back this traditional way of farming. But the rewards are clear. “It’s very relaxing and enjoying doing something different with your horses.” And working together in large groups has its benefits. “I enjoy the visiting, no stress, just relaxing with the horses. “Some old guys remember doing it in their youth for a living,” he said, adding that the old-timers pass on valuable knowledge and skills. Fulford has a day job in the oilfield and farming is a hobby. “It’s pretty much on weekends and after supper that we get to play. Sometimes you’re out there until after, or past dark because you know you have to go to work in the morning or that rain is coming.” Fulford and Anderson’s team

BIG VALLEY

Tiny house project by-law stalls at second reading Linda Stillinger

ECA Review Reporter The land use bylaw amendment to establish a tiny house residential district in Big Valley was given second reading at the April regular council meeting. Information gathered from the April 13 public hearing was reviewed in detail with no new legal implications brought forward. Total development expenses for the subdivision are still unknown and as a result lot prices could not be set. Twenty-one prospective buyers are on the official waiting list anticipating notification. The conundrum of how to fit ‘park models’ into the subdivision’s proposed architectural guidelines was debated at length, with council weighing amendments to the guidelines against excluding potential purchasers. Not able to uncover a satisfactory solution to the issue, council requested that administration seek recommendations from the planners and bring back a report to the next council meeting.

Clean audit

Council approved the 2016 financial statements after being presented with a clean audit report from Justin Tanner of Gitzel and Company Chartered Accountants. According to Tanner, everything is being done as approved and it is safe to say nothing goes out of the office without council knowing about it. The village ended 2016 with $3,117,145 in accumulated surplus consisting of $540,709 in unrestricted surplus and $2,586,436 equity in tangible assets. Outstanding taxes were up at $68,766 compared to $51,908 in 2015. Tanner stated that the increase in taxes in arrears is a trend he has been seeing in municipalities. With $764,523 in financial assets, up from last year’s $670,690 and liabilities of $248,699 up from $170,139, Big Valley continues to maintain a strong financial position.

Taxes increase

A property tax increase of approximately two per cent overall was approved when council passed Bylaw 831, bumping up the municipal mill rate to 9.7700 for residential and 11.5275 for non- residential.

Water, sewer and garbage charges did not increase. Not changing the mill rate would have resulted in a $6,848 budget deficit. Though tax increases are never popular, ensuring Big Valley has a balanced budget is a good move for the community.

Capital Budget

An amendment to the capital budget will result in an $8000 increase to sidewalk repairs this year. Originally set aside for the purchase of a street sander, administration was unable to locate one for less than $14,000. Public works did not request an increase to the budget, instead recommending council reallocate the funds to the sidewalk budget. Staff will be checking all sidewalks in the village to “risk assess” the need for repair and replacement. The 2017 capital budget also includes a significant amount of much needed street paving and a new roof for the village Quonset building.

Bashaw avoids tax increase on operating budget Lisa Joy

ECAReview reporter Town of Bashaw council passed its $1.8 million 2017 operating budget May 4 and residents will only see a .77 per cent increase in taxes for the town’s operations. Council still has to discuss and pass its 2017 capital budget. The .77 per cent tax increase amounts to an extra $710,655 that the town needs for its operating budget instead of the expected $757,304 shortfall. In 2016 the town collected $705,192. Council sent the budget back to administration at its April 20 meeting for tweaking and to avoid a 4.9 per cent tax increase. Coun. Lynn Schultz praised the town for only a .77 per cent increase. “We did some refinements,” said Bashaw Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Theresa Fuller. She said since administration did the draft budget in April, the town was approved for an $8,400 STEP grant to

hire a student. In addition, projects weren’t done last year that were budgeted, such as painting the water tower. The town collects about $18,000 each year for a Fortis franchise fee and this year $13,000 of that will go towards town beautification. Last year the town only put $8,500 towards beautification.

Renews auditor agreement

Council, during its regular meeting May 4 unanimously voted in favour of continuing with auditor Gitzel and Company. The town’s contract with them expires Dec. 31. CAO Fuller said sometimes it’s good to switch auditors. “If you get too good of a rapport it can be difficult and you can get a bias.” Coun. Bryan Gust said there were “advantages” to using the same auditor adding that the town has used them for “quite awhile.” CAO Fuller agreed Gitzel and Company are efficient.

Deciding Botha’s future Linda Stillinger

ECA Review Reporter About a dozen residents gathered at the Botha Community Centre on Thurs., May 4 for a final review of the community’s viability report. Hosted by Viability Review Team (VRT) members Linda Reynolds and Sarah Ranson, both from Municipal Affairs, the public information session was the last opportunity for residents to ask questions before they vote on the future of their community. Reynolds and Ranson highlighted the critical determining factors found in the viability report which demonstrate that the Village of Botha is clearly not viable at present. High on the list was Botha’s shortage of business taxpayers, placing most of the burden on homeowners to raise the revenues needed to operate the village.

PAINTEARTH

Wild boars by-law issue Paintearth County resident raises issue over by-law pertaining to Paintearth County council will take another look at the wording for “wild boars” before passing the amended Land Use By-law. Council heard at their May 2 regular council meeting that the addition to the amended Land Use By-law prohibits wild boars in the county, however Chad Weber’s farming occupation is cross breeding domestic sows with wild boars. Council was unaware of this farming operation. Weber has a market and has recently purchased another barn to expand his operation to 400 sows. “Alberta Agriculture are the ones with the fencing standards,” said Agriculture Fieldman, Jeff Cosens who was in attendance at the meeting. Turn to Falcons, Pg 15

With low revenues, the village is not able to afford to hire and retain qualified personnel to run the municipality effectively. An infrastructure audit revealed over $3 million in required repairs and upgrades with $1.2 million needed in the first two years to ensure public safety and health. The village has no savings to draw from to cope with any unforeseen expenses or to plan for the future. Two viability options face Botha residents. The first is that the Village of Botha remains a village and implements changes to achieve viability. The second is to dissolve the Village of Botha and become a hamlet in Stettler County. Few questions were posed following the presentation. After adjournment, a number of attendees revealed that their decisions had already been made and nothing discussed in the information session would change their votes. One resident predicted a low voter turnout, but hoped that apathy would not leave this important community decision in the hands of only a few residents. The vote on the future of the Village of Botha will be held on Mon., May 15 at the Botha Community Centre.

Bashaw council is reviewing its contract with Can Pak for garbage and recycle pick up in town. They are in the final year of a two-year extended contract. The original contract was for three years with an option for another one or two-year extension. Council discussed whether to have garbage picked up in the front of homes or in the back alleys. CAO Fuller said the alleys are taking a beating with the heavy trucks driving on them when the road is soft and wet. “Those alleys take a pounding because of it.” Coun. Lynn Schultz said he didn’t want to see garbage picked up in the front streets and prefers to have it picked up in back lane.

ON THE OTHER HAND

The rise and fall of populism and their leaders by Brenda P. Schimke It’s just sad to see the hatred that has permeated the world, especially in those nations that were once beacons of democracy and human rights. Hatred is so easy in comparison to love. The fear and dissatisfaction that many people are feeling in countries like the United States, Canada, Germany, France and Britain is real. Since the economic policies of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Preston Manning in the 1980’s, wage and pension security for working people, and full-time jobs for young people entering the workforce have collapsed.

History repeats itself; populist leaders are dissent cheerleaders who consolidate power for their own purposes by stoking continued hate and anger.

Unfortunately the long-term effects of the libertarian economic policies evangelized by these leaders were absolutely predictable--job insecurity, stagnate wage growth and rising inequality. History tells us that desperate people turn to populist leaders. Vladimir Lenin was supported wholeheartedly by the Russian people to defeat the Tsar yet his reign became a totalitarian dictatorship of tyranny. The Germans voted for and supported populist, Adolf Hitler, because of their economic woes after World War I as did the Italians with populist leader Benito Mussolini, need we say more! Unfortunately today history is

repeating itself. In Venezuela, the country tumbles into chaos, hunger and violence as democratically elected, populist President Nicolas Maduro has muzzled the legislature and is working to enact a new constitution that will give him autocratic powers. Turkey, under religious-conservative leader, Tayyip Erdogan, has successfully (or corruptly) convinced the common people to vote for a new constitution that effectively moves Turkey from a modern republic to a theocracy dictatorship. Erdogan’s new constitution takes away civil liberties, law and justice, freedom of speech and jails anyone who opposes his supreme power. Russia’s short foray into democracy was stopped quickly when populist leader, Vladimir Putin was elected in a general election. Through intimidation, killing and jailing of opposition members and constitutional adjustments, he is undefeatable until the next revolution. These examples, past and present, were all voted in by the majority in a national election. Populist leaders are excellent at reading why people are angry and then deriving their power from that anger, whether it is Theresa May in Britain, Marine Le Pen in France or Jason Kenney in Alberta? That’s precisely why the current sitting President of the United States is more interested in campaign-style hate rallies than governing. History repeats itself; populist leaders are dissent cheerleaders who consolidate power for their own purposes by stoking continued hate and anger. They have neither the skill nor interest in unity, compromise and civility—the three pillars of democracy. Citizens fall for these charismatic leaders when they are desperate and think, “it can’t be any worse?” Unfortunately history proves that it can indeed be very much worse.

LEGISLATURE

Volunteers with a capital “V” Rick Strankman, MLA Drumheller Stettler Constituency On Thurs., May 4 a fire started just north of our farm near Altario that consumed about half a section and threatened our home. The need for being prepared was brought home in no uncertain terms to yours truly just this past week.

The point of Emergency Preparedness week, May 7 - 13, is to serve as a reminder that emergencies can happen at any time for any reason. This past week also saw the Alberta Legislature’s Members from all parties recognize the anniversary of the Fort McMurray fire that decimated that Turn to Service, Pg 13 area.

REVIEW R

Published by Coronation Review Limited

Guides provide excellent hunts in Saskatchewan for culling snow geese with skill in decoy settings and use of natural cover to conceal the blinds. The hunts are necessary due to the huge population of snow geese that are destroying the nesting grounds in the arctic.

Spring snow goose season Dear Editor, As a hunter, I was very pleased to participate in Saskatchewan’s spring snow goose cull. The reason for the season on snow geese in the spring is due to the nesting grounds in the arctic being in grave danger of destruction due to over grazing because of the unimaginable populations of snow geese. I was joined by my pheasant hunting buddies from the U.S. The guides provided our group of 10 hunters with excellent hunts and exercized great skill in decoy settings and use of natural cover to conceal the blinds.

The birds are delivered to meat plants and processed for the needy people of Saskatchewan who enjoy the meat. In the 70’s, there was a very restricted limit on snow geese, two geese a day in Canada. The science wasn’t very good and that’s caused the massive population explosion of the 80’s and 90’s. Hunting is an effective tool for population control but I fear at this point, it is too little, too late and governments and farmers are paying the price. Walter Suntjens Spondin, Ab.

PARLIAMENT

Parliament reconvenes Hon. Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Battle River-Crowfoot As Parliament reconvened on May 1, we are holding the Liberal government to account for their uncontrolled spending of billions of dollars they have borrowed, higher taxes, stagnant economic growth and failure to help create jobs for Canadians. We are debating on the Point of Privilege that, in the last week the House sat in April, suspended debate on all of the Liberal’s proposed laws until the Privilege debate is concluded. The Opposition has used the

Privilege debate to “dig in our heels” in protest over the Liberal’s attempted ‘power grab’ on the way Canada’s Parliament operates. This is a very serious debate because the Liberal’s proposed “Democratic Reform Discussion Paper” that they tried to pass quickly and quietly is actually “anti-democratic”. Their proposals provide for a major shift of political power to Parliament’s Executive Branch (the Prime Minister’s Office and Cabinet).

Project Open House Tuesday, May 16, 2017 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Halkirk Community Hall, Halkirk, Alberta Proposal Summary

Capital Power is proposing to build the Halkirk 2 Wind Project (Project), a nominal nameplate capacity 148-megawatt wind power facility located in the County of Paintearth, Alberta. The proposed Project supports Alberta’s commitment to develop new sources of renewable energy.

Schedule and Regulatory Process

Capital Power submitted separate Power Plant and Substation applications to the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) in April 2017 for approval to construct and operate the proposed wind power facility and substation.

Capital Power is seeking stakeholder input into the Project and has a participant involvement program consistent with AUC requirements (Rule 007).

Faith, family, friends greatest treasures Lena Stickel went home to be with her Lord and Saviour on May 1, 2017 at the age of 93 years. Lena was born on October 28, 1923 in Romania, and her family settled in the Spondin area in 1928. She was the sixth child of 10 born to John and Stickel Frieda Motz. Lena married Fred Stickel on June 1, 1947 and from this union they had three children; Larry (Brenda) Stickel, Leona (Ted) Bond, and Carol (Alvin) Olsen. They were blessed with six grandchildren; Carrie (Joel) Cavenagh, Lisa (Jeff) Campion, Jill (Brent) Olesen, Crystal (Ryan)

Quaschnick, Corry (Robyn) Raugust, and Blair (Jen) Raugust, and 13 great grandchildren. Also five step-grandchildren and 11 step-great grandchildren. Lena was predeceased by her husband on Feb 1, 2006, and son-inlaw Garth Hanlon in 2002, as well as seven brothers and sisters. Lena’s strong faith, family and friends were her greatest treasures, and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her. A private family graveside service was held on Friday May 5, 2017, 2 p.m., at the Hanna Cemetery with Pastor Lloyd Kreiser officiating.

RCMP

Seeking assistance on a theft of copper wire Fisherman charged

Stettler RCMP observed a Stettler male on Buffalo Lake fishing from a small boat on Sat. May 6. Stettler Fish and Wildlife confirmed that the fishing season is currently closed due to fish spawning, not opening until May 15. The 33 yr. old male has been charged with offences related to impaired operation of a boat and will attend court in Stettler later this summer. Other offences included unsafe storage of firearms and other provincial statutes. Stettler RCMP would like to remind the public that impaired driving laws pertain to boats, off highway vehicles and any other recrecreational vehicles.

Motorcycle Safety in May

RCMP Coronation Detachment is promoting motorcycle safety in the month of May to coincide with

the 2017 Alberta Traffic Safety Calendar. Police encourage riders to choose the right motorcycle for their skills and abilities, be familiar with your bike’s controls and gauges, and conduct pre-trip inspections. In Alberta, operators and passengers of motorcycles are required by law to wear an approved helmet. Motorcyclists are encouraged to dress for safety and the weather, and drive with defensive driving habits. Other motorists are reminded to share the road with motorcycles, give them space and check your mirrors. On Tuesday, May 2nd at approximately 7pm, Stettler EMS, Regional Fire Department and RCMP attended the scene involving a motorcycle east of the Erskine on Highway 12. The motorcycle was travelling

eastbound on Hwy 12, did not negotiate a curve in the highway and went into the ditch on the south side of the road, causing the motorcycle to flip. Passing motorists noticed the motorcycle in the ditch and provided aid until emergency crews arrived. The 57 year old male operator succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident is still under investigation. At this time, it does not appear alcohol was a factor in this collision. The name of the deceased is currently not being released. Any witnesses to this collision are encouraged to contact the Stettler RCMP.

Service awards presented to two fire department volunteers Cont’d from Pg 6 The effects of which are still being felt. With the help of neighbours along with the Altario and Consort Volunteer fire departments, all worked and fought hard and managed to get the fire contained before it could reach our farm. Words can not describe the gratitude we have for the sacrifices and the huge courage our Volunteer firefighters show every day while protecting our property and our lives. Albertans are fortunate to have volunteers from every corner of the province that selflessly put themselves in harms way. In this case everything turned out alright, but if not for those who stand at the ready every day, this situation could have been a complete disaster for our family. The most ironic thing about the fire this past Thursday was that I was scheduled to be in Donalda that evening to present Provincial Emergency Service Awards, and it was a pleasure to recognize the recipients. If nothing else the strange

coincidental set of circumstances gave me something to talk about at the awards ceremony. Retiring Fire Chief, Frank Sutton and his daughter Tasha an emergency services worker herself, were presented awards for outstanding community service to the Volunteer fire department of Donalda. As mentioned, this weeks Emergency Preparedness should

serve as a reminder to all of us to be prepared. It’s important that everyone understand what emergency services you have in your area and how to contact them should you encounter an emergency situation. A lot of times we neglect these important details but they inevitably become critical should the need arise. The Alberta government has events and information on their website

through the Alberta Emergency Management Agency department. These are useful links to events and information that could just save a life: http://www.aema.alberta.ca/events Use this week to check your first aid kits, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers and other emergency equipment to ensure it is all in adequate working order.

Fatal single vehicle rollover near Strome, Ab. Cont’d from Pg 12 The theft occurred on April 24, between 3 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. The suspect cut a hole in the chain link fence, entered the compound and proceeded to steal copper wire. Call Cst. Travis Norton at the Killam RCMP 780-385-3509, or Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-8477 or Crime Stoppers.

Fatal collision

Killam RCMP responded to a single

vehicle rollover on Highway 13 near Range Road 152, east of Strome, Ab. on May 4. Investigation determined that a west bound SUV with three occupants hit the ditch and rolled multiple times, coming to rest on a Canadian Pacific Rail line. Train traffic on the CPR line was halted and traffic flow on Hwy 13 was down to one lane of travel during the investigation. The driver of the SUV was wearing

a seatbelt and sustained minor injuries. Two passengers, not wearing seatbelts were both ejected from the SUV. One passenger was declared dead at the scene and the other was flown by STARS to Edmonton with serious injuries. Alcohol, road and weather conditions were not contributing factors in the collision. The name of the deceased is not being released.

generated a new wave of criminal activity, and one branch of the RCMP’s National Police Services deals specifically with crimes such as identity theft or sex offences, and provides services related to security, audio and video analysis, and co-ordination of investigations between all police services in Canada. Other branches deal with firearms, education, information, intelligence, forensic laboratories, identification networks and child exploitation. The RCMP’s major areas of focus include organized crime, terrorism, youth, aboriginal communities and economic integrity. On a more local level, RCMP officers still provide everyday policing in areas not served by provincial or municipal police services. They also provide extra support to provinces and municipalities when needed.

While today’s “Mounties” still work to “always get their man”, to do so requires so much more than when the RCMP was created back in 1873. Originally, the RCMP provided general law enforcement for early settlers in Canada, with a role that varied from establishing peaceful relationships between settlers and the First Nations, to fighting fires if the need arose. These officers also established their presence internationally during numerous rebellions and wars. The first women police members were signed on about 100 years after the organization was formed, but are now a vital part of RCMP operations. In fact, the RCMP continues to grow as its role becomes even more challenging with RCMP Hanna Detachment today’s technological 104 3rd Avenue West advances. The use of 403 854-3393 technology has

Falcons, hawks and sound bangers used for landfill bird control Cont’d from Pg 3 Cosens will meet with Weber over regulations put in by Alberta Agriculture as far as fencing requirements and council agreed to relook at the wording in the by-law. “Containment Standards have to be done by the end of next year, the fence has to be in, there’s no if, ands or buts,” said Cosens. According to Weber, as the by-law stands now, if approved, he would not be able to sell his business nor transfer it to his family if he was to get hurt or retire. The ruling was instigated because several provinces were running into troubles with wild boars on the loose due to the unsuccessful sport of releasing them for hunting. “Really glad you came in,” said Coun. Rocky Dalmar, “we wouldn’t have known about it [your farming operation] otherwise.”

Landfill update

Waste Connections of Canada Inc., John Rush and Dan Rochette attended the county council meeting to update council on the merger between two companies that involved a name change from Progressive Waste Management. Rush also noted the efforts put into controlling the sea gulls saying that they use several different tactics to keep them under control which includes bangers and falcons and hawks. “We are talking to the government for a shooting permit,” said Rush. “The bangers, they get use to it. It’s not just one thing you do. The more things we can do, switch them up, the better.” Odour supression is accomplished by covering up the garbage as soon as possible with dirt, and chemical spraying. Rochette noted that the company spends approximately $50,000 monthly locally on fuel, oil, gravel, tires, etc. as well as support for local groups and on average $90,000 annually for the Community Grant Fund that they participate in along with the Paintearth Regional Waste Management body.

Purchases

Council motioned to purchase two light duty trucks from Stettler Dodge for $43,022 each, the lowest tender received, to replace a 12 and a 13 year old truck. The lowest tender of $31,361 from Tom Cat Sales & Rentals was the tender accepted for a grader-mounted packer to help extend the longevity of the MG 30 roads three to four weeks longer between blading before it starts to deteriorate.

Flagstaff County has had great success with seven graders with the packer mounted and are purchasing two more, said Public Works Supervisor, Bryce Cooke. Council motioned to purchase a rock rake from Cervus Equipment for $23,644.71, the lowest of four quotes, for cleaning up three to four gravel pits in the next two to three years, said Cooke. This would eliminate the large amount of small rocks resurfacing after the topsoil has settled over a season or two. Previously public works had rented one but it seemed to be in the shop most of the time getting fixed. Cooke also asked and received approval, if needed, to hire one or two gravel trucks and to approve an additional 50,000 tonne of gravel due to the poor conditions of the roads caused by a prolonged wet spring. “Look at other solutions too,” said Coun. Rocky Dalmar, including MG30, calcium, reshaping, rebuilding and stabilizing the base on some of the roads. Council also approved the signing of a 3-year contract for 30,000 tonnes of gravel at $11.78/tonne in a pit only four miles from the border in the northeast corner of the county. “Cheapest we’ve had gravel for in a long time,”

said one councillor. Approval was given to purchase a Polaris UTV for $18,114 from Heartland Marine & Motorsports in Erskine for the purpose of spraying roadsides for weed control. Council also agreed on purchasing a sprayer attachment, a Pro-Tec 325L UTV sprayer from Univar at $7,304. All approved expenditures are coming from restricted surplus and some from the MSI Grant.

Budget/Mill Rate

The mill rate will stay the same as last year however county taxpayers will see a slight increase in both the Castor & District Housing Authority (Foundation) tax and the Alberta School taxes. Total assessed property in the county has decreased from $1,168,520,290 to $1,112,352,100. Estimated municipal revenues from all sources other than taxation is estimated at $2,938,578 leaving a balance of $13,598,733 to be raised by taxes in 2017. The residental total taxes levied will be $14,123,832 with the budgeted total expenditures for 2017 at $13,598,733. The budgeted draw from restricted surplus is $1,059,572, down 689,517 from last year. The expenses are budgeted at $15,407,569 less the
