Wetaskiwin county denies subdivision following divisive proposal process

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER A proposed subdivision that brought controversy to Wetaskiwin county council chambers was laid to rest when it was defeated 6-1 on Nov. 12.

Reeve Kathy Rooyakkers says council saw too many factors causing issues to approve it, including water flow, the nearby river, sewage and the potential for more accidents along an s-curve near the access where to subdivision was proposed.

“It’s not appealable,” said Rooyakkers.

The subdivision of five acreages, which was to be located south of Township Road 470, along Secondary highway 795, is the second subdivision developer David McAuley has tried to get approved for the area.

In June 2015, McAuley stood before council proposing a subdivision of 14 acreages. After concerns from a collection of nearby and neighboring landowners the number was brought down.

During the public hearing many landowners addressed lingering concerns regarding the proposed subdivision. Many of the nearby landowners spoke of their concern about a commercial trucking operation they all feel was being operated on the land, as they were told the trucking operation would be halted. “This is clearly not the situation,” said Mark Minchau.

However, assistant CAO Rod Hawken informed the crowd there have been on-site

inspections of the property.

Minchau was also concerned McAuley has shallow groundwater on his property, as Minchau does. “We have encountered groundwater in several locations at all times of the year … we’ve hit water on our land at six feet deep and it’s right across the road.”

One of the reasons John Cummings objected to the subdivision is because he felt the impact of water flow on his property had not been properly addressed. “It gives no assurance that it will not be blocked.”

Lois Brown voiced her concerns over how the fire pond dugout was proposed. She questioned how groundwater would be affected in gravel-based subsoil. “If water drains out of a six-foot hole then how can a dugout in the same soil hold water?”

“It’s going to take a lot of water to keep this dugout full,” she added In the proposal it states McAuley would top the dugout with water from his own well if need be. This caused much concern over how that would affect the water table and aquifers of the area.

“If the well is for agricultural purposes it can only be used for traditional agricultural purposes,” said Brown.

“Household wells also have a limited usage, as defined in the Water Act,” she added.

Brown says the static water level of her own well has dropped 20 feet in the last 30 years. “Our dugout has dried up three consecutive years, and that’s our fire pond.”

Linda and Lloyd Earnheart had their letter read during the hearing, as they were not present. “We are opposed to this development mainly for safety reasons,” the letter stated. The approach to the subdivision would sit on Secondary Highway 795, south of a “sharp” S-curve. The Earnharts called on council to listen to the 140 people who signed a petition created to stop the division. It was handed to council earlier this year.

The letter closed by stating if council approved the subdivision area structure plan the upset community may call for councillors’ resignation.

Planning consultant Bob Riddett spoke on behalf of McAuley during the public hearing.

“We changed the layout so that all five lots are at the west end of the quarter section, on tree-covered land. Invisible from the highway and neighboring properties.”

Riddett also told council McAuley’s trucking operation has been moved to other land, east of Wetaskiwin. “There’s no longer any commercial traffic in or out of this site.”

The subdivision was also proposed to be situated on farmland rated at nine per cent; below the county’s 30 per cent cutoff.

“Flooding was raised as an issue. One neighbor asked if the proposed lots might be flooded by high flow of Bigstone Creek,” said Riddett. “Even if the creek back up and overflows the highway it will not flood any of the proposed lots,” he added.

In regard to the access, Riddett says there is little cause for concern. “Alberta Transportation has examined this and they have no concerns.”

With the reduced number of lots, the access would be able to keeps it’s Type 1 classification without having to widen and upgrade to a Type 2, says Riddett. Having the intersection, as well as who would have to pay for it, was a concern of the landowners.

“Water supply was one of the issues that was raised,” said Riddett.

“I will repeat that we had an independent professional engineer examine the well logs in the area. Including the log of the new well on the quarter … he concluded even in a prolonged drought there is sufficient water for 14 new lots without risking the flow to existing wells in the area,” he added.

Riddett says there are also already 26 subdivided lots within two miles of McAuley’s quarter.

We t a s k i w i n - C a m ro s e MLA Bruce Hinkley pointed out a mistake that appeared on this page in the Nov. 5 edition of

the Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer. Among the tax hikes introduced in the much-delayed NDP provincial budget, license/ registration increase were not, in fact, among them.

Our sincerest apologies for any confusion this may have created.

Continuing on, Hinkley was obviously not happy about the newspaper critique of the provincial budget. His email noted, “Please also provide more information about the one per cent insurance increase on ‘premiums’ (for example, a person paying a $1,000 premium will now pay $10

more; less than the rate of inflation).” Duly noted. The statement begs the question, if it’s such a small, reasonable increase, then why bother? It’s estimated by the NDP the hike will generate about $158 million.

All right then as requested, here’s more information: insurance premiums, for example car insurance policies, are mandatory expenses that working families have to pay.

Families have no choice but to pay it, or be relegated to the ranks of the pedestrian. It’s a low blow by the NDP to lay this on working families during a

Safety was issue on Nov. 11 To the residents of Leduc, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the amazing participation and attendance at this year’s Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Leduc Rec Centre, but also to apologize for missed communication to those residents who came out to support our troops at the cenotaph.

Like all RCMP officers, I am always honoured to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies. I have served in many communities in Alberta. While the attendance is always great, I have never seen the amazing attendance as I did this year, and I have never been more proud to be a part of the ceremony. I recall telling the Mayor that next year there will need to be more seating and space for the community who graciously moved back this year to make room for the large number of parade participants.

A huge thank you to the Leduc Royal Canadian Legion Branch #108 for planning this year’s service, as they do every year; it was incredibly moving and well organized.

As we were forming up with the rest of the troops for the parade, the organizing committee reported to me the event at the cenotaph would unfortunately have to be cancelled this year, due to the freezing rain. They

expressed concern for the safety of our veterans, soldiers, members, and others who would be marching on road ice. I support and appreciate the decision they made, but I apologize to the community for not thinking to communicate this decision to our on-duty officers who could have relayed this decision to those waiting at the cenotaph.

When I arrived at the Legion afterwards, I was met by a couple who told me what happened. I felt terrible, but I felt exceptionally proud again to hear from the couple that when almost 200 people at the cenotaph learned the soldiers were not coming they found leadership amongst themselves. They broke out in song and sang O’Canada.

This was followed with a stream of poppy presentations at the cenotaph.

We will have sand ready next year if Mother Nature brings freezing rain again. On behalf of the Leduc RCMP Detachment, thank you to our veterans and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you to the men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces who continue to serve. And, thank you to our residents for your support.

Lest we forget.

recession and an oil industry that, according to the federal government’s Parliamentary Budget Office, will barely reach $72 a barrel by 2018.

So, why bother with a sum like $158 million?

Well, it was revealed last week that former NDP MLA Bob Hawksworth, who has served as both MLA and a Calgary city alderman and who was recently “hired” (it’s not clear how Hawksworth was selected for the job over any or all other qualified candidates) as executive director of the McDougall Centre in Calgary, collects a salary of $150,000. The centre is the provincial government’s centre of operations, generally speaking, for southern Alberta.

Hawksworth lost his seat in the 2015 election, beaten by a Wildrose candidate. Hawksworth is a lifelong NDP man (that may or may not explain why Hawksworth was hired for the job over other and all qualified candidates), and beginning with his Calgary council job in 1980, has spent virtually his entire adult life living off the taxpayers of Alberta.

Glorified secretary positions with a six-figure sal-

ary,say, for example, like Hawksworth’s, obviously require a lot of money to cover. Then it’s a fly in the ointment that the NDP chose to make an apology in the Legislature last week for an invite that apparently solicited a $250 donation to the NDP for access to Premier Rachel Notley and her cabinet for a fundraising event in Calgary Nov. 26. Health Minister Sarah Hoffman made the apology, claiming there was an “error” in the invitation wording.

The invite stated that, after a $250 donation, guests would have a chance to hobnob with Notley and her cabinet.

Albertans interested in paying $250 to talk to Notley… it’s an interesting strategy the NDP could perhaps apply to balancing the budget. With a deficit of about $6.5 billion, she’ll have to attend 26 million barbeques to make it work.

That might explain the $158 million from families’ pockets after all. With the insurance premiums hike, the NDP can “hire” 1,053 and a third more Bob Hawksworths.

Shop around. You can’t beat that deal.

PIPESTONE FLYER 5

Opinion Cake mixes aren’t owned by the devil

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER Urban legends are part of North American culture, and I’m sure everybody knows what I’m talking about. Ranging from razor blades in Halloween candy, a babysitter being terrorized by late-night phone calls (the culprit is usually

phoning from inside the house) or the spider-eggunder-the-skin tale (the victim is always someone who recently vacationed in a tropical third-world nation).

We all know the purpose of an urban legend. It’s like a folk legend but with a dark twist, and usually has a preachy moral at the end, often something to the effect that the world is much more dangerous than we civilized people tend to believe. Being a voracious reader, there are quite a number of urban legends I find fascinating such as the “Polybius” videogame that makes people psychotic, but my favourite urban legend also has to be one of the most famous of all time: the Proctor and Gamble logo.

Well, technically, the former logo. Proctor and Gamble stopped using it in the mid-1980’s because of the urban legend that sprung up around it: it was a satanic symbol, and the company, including all of its subsidiaries like Duncan Hines, worshipped the devil. It also meant that Proctor and Gamble donated huge amou8nts of profit to the Church of Satan.

The first time I ever saw this logo, as a child, it was pointed out to me on the side of a cake mix package. I was told at the time, “That company worships the devil. There’s the proof!”

Connected with the urban legend is the claim this logo is linked to statements in the New

Testament’s Book of Revelation. Apparently, the 13 stars hearken to Revelation 12:1, which has something to do with stars in sky. Also, the urban legend claims that the mark of The Beast (Satan), 666, is visible at the bottom of the logo in the man-in-themoon’s beard. The purpose of the logo was to surreptitiously tell everyone that Proctor and Gamble had signed a deal for wealth and power with Satan, and in return they had to mark all their products as property of the Prince of Darkness and direct plenty of hard currency to the devil.

Proctor and Gamble has done much to dispel the urban legend, and pointed out repeatedly the logo had innocent origins in

the 1800’s. The logo was developed in the 19th century; it featured a crescent-shaped man-in-themoon on the right-hand side (a popular image used at the time) facing 13 stars, said to represent the original 13 U.S. colonies. In years past when literacy wasn’t as common as now, logos were much more important for shipping and retail purposes. In 1985 Proctor and Gamble discontinued using the logo completely.

It should also be noted that a huge multi-national corporation can’t hide massive movements of money as easily as everyone seems to think. If, in fact, hundreds of millions or billions of dollars were being diverted from the corporation, it would be

readily apparent. There is no evidence that has ever happened.

Who started the rumor?

It’s not clear how it originally started, but those dastardly corporate competitors are usually blamed.

The dark purpose is obvious, though. We don’t think that much about what we pick off the supermarket shelves, even products marked with unusual or creepy-looking logos. When it comes to the ingredients in our food and how corporations make their profit around the world, I may have to agree.

Stu Salkeld is the new editor of The Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer and writes a regular column for the paper.

Surprised by joy

BY TREENA MIELKE BLACK PRESS Is your cup half full or is it half empty? I have debated this particular question with myself at great length lately.

With winter’s icy door-

step just one shake of a snow globe away, I’m struggling to mentally capture the “feel good, half full” feeling about life in general.

Every day when I drive the familiar ribbon of highway that eventually takes me to my place of employment, I see changes around me that remind me not to be too happy.

The trees, once all proud and flaunting their stunning fall attire, are starting to look all bare and forlorn. Even the sky doesn’t look friendly anymore, and as often as not greets me in the morning with an icy, cold stare.

And the other day I had to scrape my windshield.

And, I haven’t even mentioned the construction which is very much alive and well on our Alberta highways and byways, and even on other little roads where potholes dare to flourish. It seems in our lovely province where the wild rose lives on license plates and in roadside ditches, our most common roadway signs are “construction ahead” and “detour.”

But, ironically, I’m here to tell you being forced to take a detour is not always bad.

The other morning, I obediently took my grouchy old self and my trusty Hyundai on the detour route just like the

Visit Us Online At

sign said and, voila, I was surprised by delight.

I got to drive by the lake.

Somewhere along the way, I had forgotten about the lake and its many moods and how it seems to hold its own particular charm, no matter what the weather.

Even when the wind is angry and mean and whips up the lake’s blue pudding waters into frothy whitecaps, it is awesome.

And, on a quiet and still morning, when God has ironed out all its wrinkles, the lake just lies there looking all blue and tranquil, making me think of the quiet blue gaze of my youngest grandson.

Steady. Calm. Peaceful!

If I was a wise and philosophical woman, I could, perhaps, relate the detours we are sometimes forced to take simply because the road ahead is under construction, to the struggles that happen to each and every one of us, all the time.

Disappointments.

Frustrations.

Illnesses.

Worry. Exhaustion. Feeling overworked and under appreciated. Exhaustion. Oh, right, I already said that.

Seriously, though I’m not really wise or philosophical, but I certainly am happy because of a detour I was forced to take.

It never hurts to be re-

minded of beauty. It makes it easier to focus on the “half full” concept.

It’s true. There are those little, full of surprise, happy moments that often drop into our day, unnoticed.

And we should remember to notice them.

The other day my husband, out of the clear blue sky of nothing, actually said, “We should clean out the garage so you can park in there this winter.”

Wow, what a good and novel idea. Parking in the garage. Who would have thought it?

I’m excited, already.

Wetaskiwin city council approves amended curling club lease

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER An amended lease agreement between the City of Wetaskiwin and the Wetaskiwin Curling Club was approved in a 6-1 vote by city council during it’s Nov. 9 meeting.

This follows a discussion council had at it’s Oct. 26 meeting, where discussions were tabled.

Coun.

Pa t r i c i a MacQuarrie was opposed to approving the lease agreement. “I have grave reservations with this agreement.”

The Royal Canadian Legion Millet Branch 229 Would like to thank all the businesses who purchased wreaths and collected poppies on our behalf. We would also like to thank all those who purchased wreaths & poppies in honour of Remembrance Day. We appreciate the efforts of all volunteers for this year’s poppy campaign.

“My concern is around the fairness in which we act as a city with all our user groups. The curling club has been operating with amnesty for the city taxpayers for 10 years. We need to be equatable in the manner with which we set our user rates,” she added.

Councillors Tyler Gandam and Bert Horvey were opposed to the initial tabling on Oct. 26.

However, some members of council decided it wanted exclusivity to the curling club of the upper mezzanine taken out of the agreement. They also wanted the curling club and gymnastics club to pay the same rate per square foot. Both will now pay $2.25 per square foot.

The agreement council saw on Nov. 9 meeting came back with those amendments. “We’ve addressed it with the curling club. They were okay with

the costs and adjustments of space,” said city director of community services Kevin Lucas.

However, the newly approved agreement gives the curling club exclusive rights to the concession area. There was a motion to have that changed but all councillors except MacQuarrie were opposed and it stands.

MacQuarrie says she wanted it clearly defined in the agreement the gymnastics club could have access to that space for its annual tournament, which is held at a time when the curling club is not active.

Coun. Joe Branco felt the agreement was fine the way it was worded and the gymnastics club should rent the space from the curling club as needed. That way an amendment would not restrict the gymnastics club to one time of the year.

Horvey says having the gymnastics club sublease the concession area from the curling club will be a good opportunity for the groups to demonstrate goodwill.

“It’s available for lease if the gymnastics club wishes to approach it,” Coun.

Wayne Neilson agreed.

However, MacQuarrie felt the gymnastics club should not have to negotiate each time they wanted to sublease the concession and by amending the agreement it would take away that step by already having negotiations between the two groups in place.

“But it’s us directing the curling club … we’re saying you have no say in this,” said Gandam.

Coun. June Boyda added it is good business sense to have the concession open to all groups but also said the agreement should be left as is, to see how the groups can work together.

MacQuarrie also made the motion the next time the city works out an agreement with the curling club, rates should be set at fair market value comparable with other similar curling clubs in central Alberta. “I would expect this to be phased in over a number of years.”

“This agreement grants the curling club use of ice space for 24 hours a day, for six months a year for approximately $10,000 a year. This is $2.25 a square foot for ice space, all utilities included. This is a quarter what market value

is for this type of facility.

We decide our other user rates based on a complete market value.”

“Just for information, a youth club using the ice at the arena uses nine hours of ice a week for six months for $22,000, more than double, for nine hours ice usage than the adult group is getting … and have the ability to generate revenue off that ice,” she added.

The motion passed with Branco and Mayor Bill Elliot opposed.

Gandam feels market comparison should not only dictate what the club will pay but what can be charged and increased reasonably. “If we don’t have a market here that can support those increases what’s the point?”

Elliot says he felt the follow up motion was not necessary because it can be dealt with in due time.

However, MacQuarrie says this way the curling club has lots of time to adjust to the direction of council. “I would expect this to be phased in over a number of years.”

In a following discussion the gymnastics club lease was approved unanimously.

Exceptional volunteer receives recreation award

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER A longtime Leduc city and county volunteer was recently awarded the Recreation Volunteer Recognition Award.

The award looks to honour individuals in communities across the province who have dedicated their time to volunteer to make outstanding contributions to recreation development.

“It’s a tremendous honour. I didn’t realize how big an award this was , it felt really good to get this award,” said Terry Volsky.

Volsky says receiving the award made him reflect back on his years of volunteering. “At my age I’m getting up there and getting on. I hope to still do volunteering.”

However, Volsky says Leduc itself has a “tremendous” volunteer base and one he is proud to consider himself a part of. He is looking forward to younger volunteers stepping up to the plate and carrying on the culture.

Volsky moved to Leduc in 1980 but already had immersed himself in the world of volunteering while living in Calmar.

When his son and daughter got involved in minor sports Volsky got into coaching. “I did that out of Calmar.”

Volsky says in communities volunteers are an essential part of most projects and without their support many would

not come to fruition, including the arena front, of which 50 per cent was built by volunteers. “If you don’t get help doing these things they don’t get done.”

“When my son and daughter got away from minor sports I didn’t get away from volunteering,” said Volsky.

Over the years Volsky has been involved in the Leduc Minor Hockey Association Board, the Calmar Minor Hockey Association and the Leduc Ball Federation.Volsky has also been a committee member for many hockey events, including the Alberta Cup of Hockey, Telus Cup of Hockey, the Junior B Provincial Championships and the 2015 World Sledge Hockey Championship.

He already has more volunteering plans on his plate for next year. “I’m going to be working as a volunteer for the Alberta Summer Games in 2016.”

Volsky mentioned the success of the 2015 World Sledge Hockey Championship, which was also brought up in a previous City of Leduc council meeting, where the board members were thanked and awarded with Leduc Achievement Awards.

“They were rated by Hockey Canada as the best tournament in Canada so far. I’m proud to be part of this base,” said Volsky.

“Our winter games are one of the top too. That just goes to show you the volunteer base in Alberta,” he added.

Volsky says he has had the privilege

of seeing some of the young children he coached grow up and become volunteers and he feels one of the greatest personal benefits has been creating friendships with many different people.

The Recreation Volunteer Recognition Awards have been awarded to four Alberta recreation volunteers every year since 1977. To date, 209 individuals across the province have been recognized.

To be remembered

BY BOB MAYNARD THE PIPESTONE FLYER Last month’s column received a lot of interest. I hope to continue to get more people researching their family history.

Richard Scott said, “To be remembered is to not be forgotten.”

We have ancestors who never thought about being ancestors. They just thought about daily life and how to survive. So sometimes we have research problems.

All researchers have made a discovery that have transformed the unknown into the known and that is exhilarating.

To be able to bridge the gap between then and now is what the quest is all about.

Do we know how to become and prepare to be an ancestor? How researchable will I be? Can I leave a trail that

someday someone will be able to follow?

My family may not want all the diaries, journals, letters and boxed up photo albums but they are already for someone who may want them. I want to be known and have a story to tell.

You will need to devise a system that works for you. Learning new skills and sharing them is part of the journey.

Help is available and that is where the Millet Library comes in as they have a great many books on family history and a group of people prepared to help out in your research. Meetings are the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Library.

Happy researching until next month.

Bob Maynard is a local historian and genealogist, and will be writing a monthly column about the topic in The Leduc/ Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer.

According to RCMP, a construction vehicle struck a power pole on Airport Road last week. It caused a downed power line.

On November 11 at approximately 2:00 p.m., while conducting traffic enforcement near Airport Road the Leduc Integrated Traffic Unit (RCMP and Sheriffs) noticed a power line on the road, according to a press release from S/Sgt. Kevin O’Dwyer, Leduc RCMP. The traffic unit along with members of the Leduc RCMP assisted in diverting traffic from the exit until Fortis was able to attend and move the power line off of the road. The Airport Road turn off is currently under construction.

The cause of the downed power line was due to one of the construction trucks striking a power pole. One motorist became tangled in the lines and Fortis had to shut the power off to free his vehicle from the lines. No one was injured during the incident.

The road was closed for an hour, but was opened back up to traffic once it was safe to do so.

Police are reminding motorists to give yourself extra time when traveling to the airport and ensure you are abiding by all construction signs and officials.

Lakedell 4-H Report October Hi, it’s me again; Raeanna Schmidt, to tell you about what Lakedell’s 4-H Beef club has been up to lately. I have to say it has been pretty fun.

At the end of September we had our weigh-in, and to sum it up everyone’s steer did amazingly! On October 13 we had our monthly meeting. It was a short meeting because some members were helping their families in the field.

On October 15 families helped prepare delicious food for the Falun Senior Supper, which we catered. The night after was the supper. A majority of the club was there and helped out. The food was delicious!

The next day, on the 17, it was the Peavey Mart Customer Appreciation Day. We had a BBQ and I thank all who supported the Lakedell 4-H Beef Club at this event. So, I guess that’s all for this month or so. See you next time!

Farmers, ranchers and their workers want to return home safely after working hard all day.

We want to help. That’s why we’re proposing changes to laws that keep farm and ranch workers safe and ensure they’re treated fairly.

• • •

Ensuring farm and ranch accidents can be properly investigated so they can be prevented.

Making sure farm and ranch workers can still support their families if they’re injured on the job.

Protecting farm and ranch owners against the impact of workplace injuries and illnesses.

If approved, laws that govern workplace safety and Workers’ Compensation Board insurance coverage would apply to farm and ranch workers as of 15113DG0 January 1, 2016.

We also want your views on how we can work with employers to make lives better for farm and ranch workers. For example: • • •

How should hours of work for farms and ranches be regulated?

How should vacation leave work on farms and ranches?

How do we make these changes while protecting family farms and ranches?

A town hall session will be held Monday, December 7 from 1:00-4:00 pm: Best Western Plus Denham Inn & Suites, 5207 50th Avenue, Leduc Space is limited, pre-registration is encouraged.

To learn more, take part in an online survey or attend a town hall near you, visit work.alberta.ca/farmandranch For further information, call 1-866-415-8690.
