Sun shines on Summer Celebrationby Timothy J. Shearlaw

The Annual Three Hills Summer Celebration enjoyed sunshine and summer heat, at least until mid-afternoon on Sunday, July 14.

About 500 people supported Saturday morning’s pancake breakfast with products provided by Three Hills IGA and the $2,500 in proceeds going toward the “B is for Brady” Memorial Fund in support of the Rotary Flames House.

The Grand Parade, sponsored by the Three Hills and District Chamber of Commerce, was a big success following the theme “What Is Your Superpower”. Prizes went to Kirk’s Heating and Custom Sheet Metal - Best Overall Judges Choice; Sandstone IDA Pharmacies - Three Hills - Best Overall Most Original Superpower; Chateau Three Hills - Best Overall Top Creative; Golden Hills Lodge - Best Overall - Major Spirit; Kneehill Historical Museum - Best Overall (Organizations); and Peters Pharmacy - Best Overall Commercial.

The Annual Sandwich and Pie Luncheon was held at the Knox United Church following the parade.

Anderson Park was the place to be Saturday afternoon for the Annual Kid’s Carnival. Bouncie castles, waterslides, carnival games, train rides, face painting, balloon art and live entertainment was topped up with hot dogs, chips, cold drinks and ice cream dixie cups. This annual event is provided free of charge, thanks to the generousity of 50 Three Hills businesses, organizations and individuals.

The Three Hills Recreation Park

with the fi nals to be played on Sunday. Sunday’s storm and tornado warnings forced the cancellation of the “A” Final resulting in BBS and the One Hot

was packed with campers for the Annual 16-Team Ball and Bash Mixed Slo-Pitch Tournament. Things go started Friday evening and went on throughout Saturday

Wonders splitting the First Place purse. The MudHens won the “B” event with Fire Ballz winning the “C” and the Smoking Aces picked up the “D” event.

403.443.5234T.H.S.A. U19 Girls win Provincial Goldby Laura Ewert

The Three Hills U19 girls soccer team won the Gold Medal at Provincials on July 5-7 in Rocky Mountain House. U19 is the oldest age for the youth Provin-cials and this year it consists of those born in 2000-2001. Our girls team has four in that age bracket, seven that are age U17 and three that are U15.

The majority of the team has been playing for three years together and were ex-cited for the opportunity to go to Provincials.

Our fi rst game on Friday night at 8 pm was against Rocky Mountain House. A very tough team who we have played before and who we knew played a very tight, defensive game. Our team did have possession of the ball for a lot of the game, and Esther Ewert found the goal near the beginning, giving us the lead. Rocky has a strong defence and we couldn’t get past them to score again. The game end-ed 1-0 for us. Esther Ewert was recognized by Rocky Mountain House as our team’s player of the game.

We played Sherwood Park the next day, sched-uled at 5pm. The team was walking on to the fi eld to play when it started to

us. It continued with goals by Julia Hildebrandt, Jessi Zabolotney and another by Esther Ewert.

Betty-Lou Brown played an amazing game on mid-fi eld and was recognized as player of the game. The game ended at 4-0 for us.

The win led us to the Gold medal match against Olds at 4 pm. We had played Olds fi ve times in our district, four games we won, but in the district fi -nal they beat us. So we were nervous to play them as they are a tough, aggressive team. Right before the game thun-der was heard again. This led into another few hours of waiting but both teams were determined to play and not to have the win be decided by a coin toss, which is how they would decide if a game could not be played. At 6:30 we were back on the fi eld. We had agreed to shorten the halves from 45 minutes to 35 min-utes since it looked like an-other storm may be moving in. We started off slow and our defence had to fi ght for the ball. We turned things around and started control-ling the ball during the fi rst half, but that half still ended with a score of 0-0. Our midfi eld, Mariah Hildeb-randt, Julia Hildebrandt,

thunder. ASA has a strict thunder policy and it states that teams cannot be on the fi eld until 30 minutes after the last thunder was heard. All the teams waited through the storm and fi -nally got back on the fi eld to play at 8 pm in the sun-shine. We had a dominant game against Sherwood Park with two goals by Ju-lia Hildebrandt and Molly Brown, one by Esther Ewert and Dani Penner and Brie Leuf got one off a penalty shot. The game ended 7-0 for us and Julia Hildebrandt was recognized as our player of the game.

Our team placed fi rst in our pool and we played the second place team, Bonnyville, from the other pool at 10 am on Sunday morning. The winner of this game would go to the Gold medal match, the loser to the bronze. Bonny-ville has traditionally been a tough team so we were prepared for a hard game. Our defence, Ellie Koch, Kayli Koch, Brie Leuf and Jess Stewart played a strong game and you could vis-ibly tell that the Bonnyville forwards were frustrated that they could not get past them. A beautiful pass from Molly Brown to Esther Ewert started the goals for

Shae Cunningham, Betty-Lou Brown, Laura Scott and Dani Penner, really stepped up the second half and got the ball moving up the fi eld. Esther Ewert fi nally got her break away and it was 1-0 for us. With 10 minutes left and another beautiful pass to Esther in front of the net we were up 2-0. The last 10 minutes were nerve wrack-ing as Olds made their push to catch up but Annika Not-ter, our goalie, kept making amazing saves. She stopped numerous breakaways and made fantastic decisions to stop all attempts on her.

The game ended 2-0 and Three Hills won the Gold medal! This is the fi rst girls team from Three Hills to ever win a Gold medal in Provincials. Three Hills also ranked highest on the sta-tistics page with Esther Ew-ert having the most goals of the tournament at six and Annika Notter with a shut out. Not one goal scored on her!

Congratulations to their coach, Stanley Guedes, and the team! You represented Three Hills well. Three Hills Soccer is excited to see how this team will con-tinue to do as the majority of them will play together again next year. Way to go Three Hills Strikers!

Alberta takes bold step to increase free trade in CanadaPremier Jason Kenney has

announced that Alberta will unilaterally drop half of its ex-ceptions to the 2017 Canadian Free Trade Agreement.

Alberta is also launching a fast-track review of its few remaining exceptions to cut needless red tape and create jobs.

Eliminating procurement exceptions from internal trade agreements means more com-petition for contracts, which in turn will save Alberta taxpayers money. It will also ensure that Alberta companies are not shut out of larger markets across Canada.

“As part of our government’s

this is not possible multilater-ally, we are exploring how Al-berta could do so unilaterally.

“Alberta is proud to take a leadership role on an ambitious free enterprise agenda to ben-efi t our province and promote national economic growth.” - Jason Kenney, Premier

The removal of ineffective and ineffi cient regulations is a key part of the Red Tape Re-duction Action Plan to acceler-ate investment and get Alber-tans back to work.

Premier Kenney made the announcement at the gather-ing of Canada’s Premiers at the Council of the Federation meeting in Saskatoon. He also

job-creation strategy, we are taking the bold step to drop all provincial exceptions to the 2017 Canada Free Trade Agree-ment related to procurement. I encourage other provinces to do the same.

“While there has been some progress toward free trade within Canada, we need to be more ambitious. That is why we’re also extending an invita-tion to other provinces to join the more trade-friendly New West Partnership Agreement.

“We are also challenging other provinces to improve la-bour mobility by moving faster mutual recognition of licensed professionals and trades, and if

challenged his fellow Premiers to move to automatic mutual recognition of professional and trades qualifi cations wherever possible.

*Internal barriers to trade and labour mobility within Canada cost the economy be-tween $50 billion and $130 billion every year — much more signifi cant than the ben-efi ts of recent free trade agree-ments with Asia or Europe. According to Statistics Canada, this is the equivalent of a seven per cent tariff on goods cross-ing provincial borders. By comparison, no such drag was found on trade between U.S. states.

I don’t know how we got

lucky with perfect weather

for the Summer Celebration

Breakfast, Parade and Kid’s

Carnival, but maybe that’s

our superpower. I’ll reserve

comment on Sunday’s

storm that cancelled the

championship game at the

slo-pitch tournament.

I just want to extend

sincere thanks to the

Three Hills Public Works

department, especially the

parks department, for the

work they do before, during

and after our annual events.

I feel a little guilty asking

them for this and that

leading up to an event like

the Kid’s Carnival, but they

are always so gracious and

accommodating.

Anderson Park is an

absolute jewel in our

community but that is due

to the tremendous amount

of work put in by the parks

staff.

I would also like to thank

park volunteer Darlene

Sommerville for the

countless hours she has put

into planting and weeding of

plants and fl owers. Darlene

has had some help over the

years but many, many times

I have seen her working

all alone, making sure

Anderson Park is a place

we can all be so proud of

and enjoy so much.

Now, next Tuesday, July

23, the world famous

RCMP Musical Ride comes

to Three Hills. Be sure

to get your tickets. The

weather is supposed to be

amazing and I know that’s

hard to believe considering

the amount of moisture that

we have had. Things look

sunny and hot from Sunday

right through to late next

week.

For all of the details on the

RCMP Musical Ride see

the ad and story on page

11 (eleven) of this issue.

That’s Life.

Thanks to God for the blessings he has bestowed on our NationsTo the Editor;

In July we celebrated

Canada Day and

Independence Day for

those of us who have family

and friends in the USA, I

give thanks to God for the

blessings he has bestowed

on our Nations.

This is not accidental,

God in His Word, says I

will Bless those who Bless

You and curse those who

curse you, referring to the

Israelis. Canada and the

USA have been Israel’s

main and sometimes only

allies.

During the Obama years,

Israel could only rely on

the Harper Government

of Canada for support.

Today they can only

count on the USA Trump

government as no one

counts on the Canadian

Trudeau government for

anything, except handouts.

Prime Minister Trudeau

has outdone himself by

celebrating the candidacy

of Montreal Liberal Steven

Guilbeault a Greenpeace

activist and enemy of

the TMX expansion, the

same pipeline PM Trudeau

LETTERS TO THE EDITORYOUR OPINION ALL LETTERS MUST BE SIGNED

nationalized, now he has a

candidate (from Quebec of

course,) who wants to kill it.

Sounds like former (I like

that word, former Premier

Notley) appointment of

Tzeporah Berman (an oil

sands hater) to the Oil

Sands Advisory Panel.

Former Premier Notley is

reduced to shrieking sound

bites to the liberal media

which few pay attention to,

and PM Trudeau makes

sure he doesn’t talk to

anyone at the Calgary

Stampede who might not

kiss his ring.

I hope before the end of

the year I can refer to Justin

Trudeau as Canada’s

former PM.

Federal Election on the horizonby Kevin Sorenson, MP Battle River-CrowfootBy the time this column

appears in the paper, the new Conservative candidate for the electoral district of Battle River-Crowfoot will have been nominated. After months of campaigning to gain the support of Conservative members, my replacement will continue to work hard to gain the confi dence of all residents to win the October 21st, 2019 federal election.

On March 30th, I announced my intention not to seek re-election after nineteen years as your representative in Ottawa. After six election campaigns, in which I knocked on many, many doors and met with so people from every corner of this vast riding, I will be taking a back seat. While

Scheer led Conservative government will be elected. The scandal plagued Liberals continue to prove they are unfi t to govern this country.

The Liberals’ latest humiliation is the resignation of the Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff, Lieutenant-General Paul Wynnyk. He took over for Vice-Admiral Mark Norman who was removed from his position after being charged with breach-of-trust in ship building contracts. Wynnyk was originally set to retire this summer until he was asked by Chief of the Defence Staff, Jonathan Vance, to stay on for an extra year. This offer appeared to be rescinded when Vance reportedly announced Norman would return to his old post after there

defence team? How much are Canadian taxpayers on the hook for Trudeau’s settlement with Mark Norman? Why did Trudeau agree to settle given his repeated statements that Norman would end up in court? If I was a cynic, I would say that the undisclosed settlement was all part of an expensive scheme to cover-up a huge political problem before the election.

Many questions now surround the resignation of Paul Wynnyk, an accomplished and dedicated military offi cer, who appears to have been caught in the middle of Trudeau’s alleged politically interference and incompetence. This meddling has not only destroyed the careers of two of our country’s most

I may not be at every event and every door this time around, I will certainly be at some as I lend my support to what I believe will be your next Member of Parliament.

I am confi dent you will once again put your trust in your Conservative candidate. I am equally convinced that after four long years of Trudeau troubles, an Andrew

was a stay in proceedings against him. The offer was then apparently back on the table when Norman resigned after receiving an undisclosed settlement from the government.

Norman served with honour and integrity until his reputation was ruined by Trudeau’s disgusting smear campaign against him. There remains overwhelming evidence that this charade and the ensuing personal and professional hardship Norman endured for over two years was due to political interference on the part of the Liberal government. Serious and credible questions remain about the extent of that political interference such as: Why did the Liberals go to such great lengths to withhold evidence from Mark Norman’s

senior military offi cers, it has caused instability and turmoil within the Canadian Armed Forces. The brave men and women who serve our country deserve stability and respect while Canadians deserve to have a military they have confi dence in to protect them and the sovereignty of this country. Canadians also deserve to have a government that is above political interference and not marred in scandal and humiliation.

Seeking industry input on technology, innovationThe Government is

consulting with industries on the new Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system.

TIER is an improved way to manage emissions from large industries like oil and gas, which account for more than half of Alberta’s total emissions. Under the proposed plan, large emitters that produce more than the allowable limit of carbon dioxide would be required to pay into a clean technology fund or purchase offset credits starting Jan. 1, 2020. Environment and Parks Minister Jason Nixon, Energy Minister Sonya Savage and Agriculture and Forestry Minister Devin Dreeshen are meeting with about 150 stakeholders to explore the program design for TIER – a system that will help energy-intensive facilities innovate and stay competitive by investing in clean technology that will signifi cantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

“TIER is a realistic and effective approach to addressing climate change that will reduce emissions and reassure investors. Hearing stakeholder perspectives as we design TIER will make sure the program meets the needs of Alberta’s environment and economy. This system is the centrepiece of our government’s new provincial climate strategy, to be released this fall, which will focus on innovative and practical solutions instead of punishing Albertans with a punitive tax on heating their homes and driving their kids to soccer.” - Jason Nixon, Minister of Environment and Parks

Under the proposed system, facilities that emit more than 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide will have to reduce their emissions intensity by 10 per cent compared to their average emissions between 2016 and 2018. To do that, facilities can reduce their emissions, or:

• Reduce their emissions.• Use credits from

facilities that have met and exceeded their emissions targets.

• Use emission offsets from organizations that are not regulated by TIER, but have voluntarily reduced their emissions.

• Pay into the TIER Fund, which will be used for new and cleaner Alberta-based technologies that reduce emissions, like research and investment in

carbon capture, utilization and storage, and improved oilsands extraction technology.

• “Innovation and performance improvements are happening across Alberta’s industrial sectors. The proposed TIER system will recognize and accelerate this innovation, supporting investment and jobs. We’re helping Alberta’s industries do what they do best – fi nd better ways to do business.” - Sonya Savage, Minister of Energy

TIER will also require electricity facilities to meet a good-as-best-gas standard, where their emissions are equal to the cleanest natural gas-fi red generation plant.

“Alberta’s farmers, ranchers and foresters are some of the most entrepreneurial business people. TIER will focus on helping them stay competitive with cutting-edge new technologies. Alberta is open for business, and TIER is just one more way Alberta’s government is sending that message.” - Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry

Albertans and stakeholders are invited to read the TIER discussion document and provide feedback through Alberta.ca. The submission deadline for comments is Aug. 2, 2019.

“We look forward to working with the government to deliver a carbon pricing framework that maintains the investment competitiveness of emissions-intensive trade-exposed industries. Alberta’s chemistry industry is on a growth trajectory that could see $25 billion in new investments in addition to the over $12 billion already committed. While these investments leverage Alberta’s abundant, low-carbon feedstock, they are also critical in Alberta’s and Canada’s transition to a low-carbon future.” - Bob Masterson, president and CEO, Chemistry Industry Association of Canada

“The competitiveness of Alberta’s oil and natural gas industry depends on having a reliable and effective regulatory system. We are pleased the government is updating Alberta’s approach to industrial emitters to ensure emissions are reduced in an effi cient manner that fosters both innovation and competitiveness.” - Tim McMillan, president and CEO, Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers

Quick facts• Minister roundtables

will be held over three days with representatives from the oil and gas, electricity, chemicals, fertilizers, minerals and metals, forest products, coal mines, landfi lls, food processors, agro-industry and distilling sectors.

• Stakeholder engagement will continue throughout July, including workshop sessions, webinars and one-on-one meetings.

• TIER will replace the current Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation on Jan. 1, 2020.

Tax relief for industry and municipalitiesThe Government of Alberta

is acting swiftly to provide urgent, timely tax relief for shallow gas producers in dire straits.

Economic mismanagement from the previous administration combined with low commodity prices have left natural gas producers on the brink of bankruptcy. As part of government’s overall action plan, immediate steps will be taken to work with municipalities to reduce 2019 taxes on shallow gas wells and pipelines. Shallow gas producers will receive more than $23 million in total support extended from this tax

municipalities, the assessment model for linear property such as pipelines is determined by the province. The model has not been updated since 2005, despite tremendous changes in the natural gas sector.

“Alberta’s natural gas industry has been hurting for years due to extreme low prices, inaction by previous administrations and an outdated property tax model. Our government committed to protecting Alberta’s natural gas industry and this measure is a tangible solution that will provide much-needed, short-term relief to our producers. We will continue to bring all

which go directly into their local budgets.

• This decision addresses

relief.“You can’t tax business

into bankruptcy. Unlike the previous government, which sat on its hands, our government is taking swift action to support shallow gas producers, protect municipalities and ensure a fair assessment model is in place for wells and pipelines. This initiative will prevent further company failures and job losses in our province, as we saw recently with Trident Exploration, while creating a more viable system for industry and government.” - Kaycee Madu, Minister of Municipal Affairs

While property taxes go to

stakeholders to the table to fi nd collaborative solutions on this critical issue.” - Dale Nally, Associate Minister of Natural Gas

Municipal Affairs will soon provide a list of affected wells to municipalities and companies.

“We recognize that municipal and education property taxes are not the core cause of the industry’s struggle, but are likely the only area in which short-term relief can be found, so we’re pleased with the Government of Alberta’s announcement, as it helps the shallow gas industry without unfairly penalizing rural municipalities. That said, in the long term, property tax should not be seen as a tool for relief.” - Al Kemmere, president, Rural Municipalities of Alberta

When these companies go bankrupt, it’s not just the employees who suffer – leaseholders, local communities and provincial revenues are all affected. This initiative makes it clear that Alberta’s new government is focused on removing barriers to the success of the energy sector.

“This announcement is much-needed, positive news for Alberta’s natural gas sector, and for all Albertans. Rapid and decisive leadership from this government on the natural gas fi le is a demonstration of their commitment to protect Alberta jobs and we welcome this measure.” - Tristan Goodman, president and CEO, Explorers and Producers Association of CanadaQuick facts

• About 65,000 wells qualify.• The wells are

predominantly found in 15 municipalities.

• Municipalities will continue to collect the remainder of property taxes from shallow gas companies,

fi xed costs as referenced in the Natural Gas Advisory Panel’s Roadmap to Recovery report.

Shoot the hoopsThree Hills School had the opportunity of having Avery Harrison, Coach of the Olds Broncos, and 2019 Canadian College Athletics Association National Champions, as a special guest for the Wednesday and Friday sessions of the Basketball Camp which ran from July 8 to July 12. Mr. Harrison was born and raised in Alberta and has taught in both Olds and Stettler. When asked why he chooses to come to camps in rural Alberta, specifi cally Three Hills, Mr. Harrison said that it is because often there are College level athletes in the small towns and rural areas that are missed because scouts don’t see them. As it is, there are three Three Hills School students presently playing with the Olds Broncos Jr. team. There were 30 THS students signed up for this Basketball Camp. The camp included grades four to 12.

Immunization protects against illness

The annual Club Championship was held July 6 & 7 at the Three Hills Golf Course. The weather turned out to be great for both days and the course couldn’t have been in better shape. In the Ladies Division, Norie Tani took advantage of the great conditions and took home the 2019 title. New member Howard Herman was crowned as 2019 champion in the tight Senior Division. Mike Reynolds successfully defended his Men’s Title and will remain as Club Champion for another year.

The new clubhouse continues to progress

Illnesses such as measles can be prevented through immunization. To fi nd out more, go to immunizealberta.ca.

It is important to know the facts about immunization in order to make the best decisions.

Immunization prompts our immune systems to produce disease-fi ghting antibodies, which is a natural function.

Immunization gives us the opportunity to build these antibodies before being exposed to disease, and without getting the actual disease.

If you and your child are exposed to a disease after being immunized, you will both be armed and able to fi ght it off, without getting sick. Without immunization, our bodies do not have the opportunity to build immunity to – or armour against – the disease.

Without the armour of immunization, you and your child are at risk of getting very sick.

All Albertans are advised to ensure they are up to date on their immunizations. For more information, call

Health Link at 811, go to immunizealberta.ca or go to myhealth.alberta.ca.Measles

Given the recent rise in measles cases in North America, here are some quick facts:

• Immunization is very effective at protecting children and adults against infection and is the best way to reduce the risk of disease.

• The vaccine given most often to protect your child against measles is called MMR-Var vaccine. This vaccine protects against four diseases—measles, mumps, rubella and varicella.

• The vaccine given most often to protect adults against measles is called MMR vaccine. This vaccine protects against three diseases – measles, mumps and rubella.

• Measles is an extremely contagious viral illness. It is easily spread through the air (by sneezing or coughing) and by direct contact with someone who is infected.

• Before widespread immunization, measles caused an estimated 2.6

million deaths each year worldwide.

• Today in developed nations like Canada, for every 1,000 people who get measles, one or two will die.

• There is no cure for measles.

• The risk that measles poses to you and your child’s health is far greater than any risk related to being immunized.Do vaccines cause autism?

• No, vaccines do not cause autism. Research has found no link between vaccines and autism. You may have heard about Andrew Wakefi eld, a British surgeon who suggested a link between autism and vaccine.

• What you may not have heard is that the research he published was found to be false, and Wakefi eld had his medical licence taken away because of this. In January 2010, Britain’s statutory tribunal of the General Medical Council found Wakefi eld guilty of four counts of dishonesty and 12 counts involving the abuse of developmentally challenged children, as it pertained to his false research on autism.

A new Seniors’ year has been initiated in Alberta. July 1 of each year starts a new benefi t year (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020) with new fi nancial thresholds and new fi nancial support amounts. If you are eligible for fi nancial support with Alberta Seniors and Housing, you will want to take note of these areas:

Seniors Benefi ts (a monthly payment from the province of Alberta) for eligible seniors who are collecting Old Age Security (Federally) and who are under the $28,150 for a single person and under $45,720 for a couple on line 150 of your 2018 income tax form. These income levels are guidelines only, and are for seniors whose income includes full Old Age Security Pension.

Special Needs Assistance for Seniors is available for eligible seniors in the following categories:

Single Seniors under $28,150 and Senior Couples under $45,720 may be able to apply for the Primary Areaof support such as Appliances (appliance repair, bed or dryer and washer, or refrigerator and stove -one component may be applied for in a seniors year if still living in your own home); Health Supports (CPAP, Diabetic supplies, nutritional beverages, foot care and prescription medication costs); and Personal Supports (celiac groceries, lift chair, medical trips, personal response systems such as Lifeline, utility disconnect situations, etc.).

Single Seniors under $23,750 and Senior Couples under $37,520 are also able to apply for the Secondary Areaof support for further Appliances (appliance repair, microwave, television, and vacuum); Health Supports (custom

for a SHARP Grant. Seniors Property

Tax Deferral Program* allows eligible senior homeowners to defer all or part of their annual property taxes through a low interest home equity loan with the Alberta Government. This loan is NOT based on income and there is no maximum or minimum loan amount. This must still be your primary residence and you have a minimum of 25% equity in the home.

*Please remember these two loan programs, if taken, will be registered on your title and must be repaid when the primary residence changes, the applicant is no longer the registered owner or the home is sold. So if you move, give the home to someone else or sell it, the loan is due.

Seniors Benefi t and Special Needs Assistance program rates have now been legislated to go up each year on January 1 to keep up with infl ation – as measured by Alberta’s Consumer Price Index – to help people manage rising costs of living. The adjustment rate for 2019 is 2.1%.

What this means is that Seniors’ supports have had a legislated increase in funding (2.1% this year) and on January 1, 2020 another cost of living increase will occur for Seniors Benefi ts and Special Needs Assistance.

The Rumsey Centen-nial was a huge success. It all started Friday night with registration of the fi rst 100 or so “Rumsey-ites”. The Cawiezel fam-ily set up two fi re rings in the main parking lot where everyone could gather to have a hotdog and a visit amoungst old and new friends. The evening was beautiful so it was really enjoyed as people lingered and visited. We even had the enjoyment of some lo-cal band members playing their guitars and cello out in the crowd.

The registration con-tinued the next morning as breakfast was served by Morrin Fire Department. By the time the organiz-ers concluded the registra-tion for the weekend, they had reached the amazing number of 738 people! The number could even be higher as I noticed not everyone was wearing the blue lanyard with name tag so there was the odd person who didn’t take

attend as well and gave a quick speech on his fi rst few months as part of our newly formed UPC gov-ernment. Then the band got playing to bring peo-ple out onto the fl oor to enjoy some dancing. We experienced a brief down-pour with lightning and

ing of faith as it was a shar-ing of the history of our different faiths within the community of Rumsey; very enjoyable. Everyone

the time to register. There were 538 people who en-joyed the delicious sup-per in the evening before we enjoyed a walk down memory lane with long-time residents who shared their favourite stories of days gone by. Our MLA, Nat Horner, was able to

thunder just before the fi reworks show but thank-fully it quit in time for the fellows to get their show set up and light the fuses.

On Sunday, another great breakfast was served. This was followed by an ecumenical church service which was as much a shar-

then enjoyed a fi nal shar-ing of fellowship with cof-fee and cake before start-ing to pack up and head for home.

Cultivating native plants is an important part of preserving your region’s wildlife and ecological system. Imported plants were popular for many years, but ecologically conscious gardeners are increasingly opting to grow native plants instead.

To be considered native, a plant must be indigenous to the area. In North America, any plant that was here before Europeans arrived is considered to be native. They have evolved alongside local wildlife, and are uniquely able to support the birds, mammals and insects that live here.

Because they’re suited to the local climate, indigenous plants often require much less care than fl o-wers, shrubs and trees that come from other parts of the world. This means that you’ll spend less time watering and fertilizing and more time enjoying your plants. They also don’t require the use of pesticides, which ma kes them better for the environment.

Having a native garden is far from boring. Plants indigenous to your area come in all sizes, shapes and colours. From tiny groundcover to the tallest trees, you have many options to beautify your yard. As a bonus, your new plants will also encourage visits from local birds and butterfl ies.

Planting a native garden requires some research. To fi nd out which plants are indigenous to your area turn to gardening clubs, the public library or the professionals at your local gardening centre.

Does your garden have particularly acidic soil? If so, there are a number of wonderful plants that would feel right at home in your yard. While most plants prefer soil that is neutral or only slightly acidic, there are numerous acid-loving and acid-tolerating species.

• Vegetables. Some veggies that thrive in acidic soil are radishes, potatoes, rhubarb and peppers. And many tolerate acidic soil, including broccoli, carrots and tomatoes.

• Fruits. A few types of fruit that love acidic soil are blueberries, cranberries, currants, elderberries and gooseberries. Some that tolerate acidic soil are grapes, raspberries and strawberries.

• Flowers. The types of fl owering plants that love acidic soil are numerous and varied. Some of the most popular ones are azaleas, daffodils, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, camellias, heather and bleeding hearts.

Want some more ideas? Soil pH is usually consistent in a given geographical area, so you could take a stroll and see what plants are growing well in your neighbourhood.

Landscaping professionals looking to minimize their carbon footprint are increasingly featuring recycled materials in their designs. Glass mulch is one such product and it’s sustainable, functional and beautiful.

This increasingly popular type of mulch is made from broken glass that’s tumbled to remove sharp edges. Until recently, it was mostly applied in small amounts around potted plants. However, it’s now being used in larger quantities for landscape design. The effects can be stunning, as glass mulch adds colour and sparkle that are impossible to achieve with other types of mulch.

The benefi ts of recycled glass mulch extend beyond being esthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. In fact, this mulch type also offers superior drainage for your plants. Plus, this long lasting material will never need to be replaced because glass doesn’t decompose or blow away in the wind.

If your garden could use a little shimmer and you want to do your part for the environment, recycled glass mulch could be just what you’re looking for.

3 plants with beautiful autumn blooms The bene� ts of growing native plants

Have you heard of recycled glass mulch?

Plants that thrive in acidic soil

Who says fl owers only bloom till the end of summer? These three stunners will keep your garden blossoming until late fall.

1. RUSSIAN SAGE (PEROVSKIA ATRIPLICIFOLIA)This late blooming perennial is as popular with pollinators as it is with people. Known for its lacy spikes of purple fl o-wers and silvery green leaves, this plant will bloom from mid July to well into the fall. It grows to be very tall, so don’t plant it in front of anything you want to be able to see.

2. PURPLE CONEFLOWER (ECHINACEA PURPUREA)This type of Echinacea is native to eastern and central North America, making it ideal for attracting local birds and insects. Deadheading, or removing fl o wers as they fade or die, is necessary if you want to make sure your conefl ower continues to bloom through fall.

3. AUTUMN JOY STONECROP (SEDUM ‘AUTUMN JOY’)This plant is unassuming during the summer, but when other flo wers are fading away, these ones are just beginning to blossom. Its spiky fl owers change

colour over time, starting out white and gradually turning pink and then copper red.

When planning your fall fl owers, make certain that they’ll bloom before the fi rst frost. If you’re unsure what will work in your garden, check with your local nursery.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SOIL PHEvery plant has a particular soil pH range within which it grows best. For most plants, a pH level between 5.5 and 7.0, or slightly acidic to neutral, is optimal. But you can have a diverse and thriving garden even if your soil is overly acidic or alkaline. You’ll need to do one of two things: either adjust the pH through a variety of methods or grow plants that flourish in your particular type of soil. Discover the soil pH in your yard by picking up a testing kit at your local garden centre.

Common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is indigenous to North

America. It’s fragrant fl owers attract pollinators.

Rhododendrons are one type of fl owering plant that will thrive in acidic soil.

Gauging plant health and happiness

Firemen’s FundraiserLinden and District Firemen’s annual Fundraising Breakfast on Saturday morning, July 13 served 480 people and raised $8500. Funds will be used for the replacement hall project for the near future. The firemen entertained the crowd after breakfast with a ‘hose run’, to see who was fastest at getting the hose in place, turned on correctly and held to spray down some traffic cones. Yes, the firemen were very good at it, but then came the volunteers of children and some brave adults.

Comparing and contrasting are key when determining if a plant is growing to its full potential.

“The ability to detect or gauge plant health is a skill that takes time and experience to develop,” explains Robert Spencer, commercial horticultural specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. “It is a bit of an art form, combined with varying depths of science to back it up.”

Spencer says that at the heart of any diagnosis is a clear understanding and picture of what the plant or crop is “supposed” to look like. “It is a simple contrast and comparison between the mental picture and what is right in front of us.”

He notes that there are many variables to consider when determining whether a plant is achieving its full potential. “Many of these require a deeper dive into the

nuances and variations and can be entirely subjective.”

These comparisons include:

• Plant vigour• Plant size• Leaf colour• Plant shape• Amount of root growth

and perhaps the colour of the roots

• Amount of flowering• Odour• Uniformity of the entire

plant, leaves, stems, flowers,

etc.• Evidence of lesions,

spots, stripes, pustules, flecks, pinholes, or any number of other symptoms and signs of infection or infestation

“Diagnosing plant health is very much a subjective, comparative process, where one attempts to judge whether the plant being examined is performing as well as it could, versus the other plants surrounding the one being examined,” he adds.

Submissions on Seniors Housing closeby Debi Moon

Trochu Town Council held their regular meeting July 10.Director of OperationsReport

Highlights from the Operations report include mention that a water line for the tree nursery irrigation at the cemetery has been installed. The trees will be planted in the fall. The Dr. Hay building at the Arboretum got a re-confi gured sump pump plumbing in the basement, to minimize further winter or heavy rainfall concerns. The worn out Canadian fl ags on the light poles throughout town were replaced in time for the parade, but it was close. Areas have been sprayed for dandelions and other weeds. The Trochu Fire Department moved the tower from the community garden to the rear of arena in order to install the siren. Flower pots were distributed throughout the town.

Newborn screening now tests for sickle cell diseaseCALGARY – All babies

in the province are now eligible for routine test-ing for sickle cell disease following an expansion to Alberta’s Newborn Meta-bolic Screening (NMS) program.

Sickle cell disease causes red blood cells to have a crescent moon or sickle shape and become trapped in blood vessels, causing pain, damage to tissue and premature breakdown of the red blood cells. Although sickle cell disease occurs in all ethnic groups, it is more common in people of African, Mediterra-nean, Middle Eastern and Asian descent. In some groups, it can occur in as many as one in 400 people.

“Newborn screening for sickle cell disease has been shown to reduce early deaths in children with this condition,” says Dr. Nicola Wright, pe-diatric hematologist and immunologist at the Al-berta Children’s Hospital. “It reduces the occurrence of potentially life-threat-ening bacterial infections by more than 80 per cent. With diagnosis in the

quality of the newborn screening pathway,” says Dr. Carolyn O’Hara, Chief Medical Laboratory Offi cer with APL. “This will allow better health outcomes for Albertans with the screened condi-tions.”

Newborn blood spot screening begins within 24 to 48 hours of a child’s birth when a few drops of blood are collected from a heel poke and tested for certain treatable condi-tions. The blood is then sent to the APL lab at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton – the only testing site in Alberta for newborn metabolic screening in the province – and ana-lyzed for hidden condi-tions that are present at birth. If certain markers are found, the program notifi es the parents and physicians so the baby can receive immediate at-tention.

Screening through the NMS Program is offered free of charge through-out the province. It’s best for testing to be done at the hospital prior to go-ing home, when a baby is between 24 and 72 hours

neonatal period, parents can be educated early, re-ducing the incidence and severity of complications of sickle cell disease in the early childhood years. I’m pleased to announce the expansion of testing on this, World Sickle Cell Day.”

Until recently, Alberta babies have been screened for 17 conditions through the NMS program, which works to prevent health problems, improve new-born health and save lives through early diagnosis and treatment of screened conditions.

Following a $2 million investment by Alberta Health Services (AHS), and through a collabora-tive partnership between AHS, Alberta Public Lab-oratories (APL), Alberta Health and other key stakeholders, the screen-ing panel has been ex-panded to include sickle cell disease as well as three other conditions. (Visit ahs.ca/newbornscreen-ing for a complete list of screened conditions.)

“The signifi cant invest-ment of resources in new-born screening to expand services will enhance the

old. But it can also be done at a home or clinic visit, or at a lab in the community.

“Newborn blood spot screening is the best way to fi nd out if a baby has a certain condition that parents, their doctor or midwife might not be aware of,” says Dr. Huim-ing Yang, Provincial Med-ical Offi cer of Health with Healthy Living and Med-ical Director of Screening Programs. “When we fi nd conditions like sickle cell disease early, treatment can begin sooner. This has a positive impact on babies and their families, as we are able to improve the health of newborns by preventing potential health problems and even save lives.”

Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and ser-vices for more than four million adults and chil-dren living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, qual-ity health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

Kneehill County Council Reportby Debi Moon

Development of Road Allowance

Artis Exploration Ltd has requested development on an undeveloped road allowance located on Range Rd 25-4, north of Hwy 583 for approximately 0.8km. The purpose is for a battery site yard. Council approved the development with Administration to amend the Road Use Agreement with Artis, outlining conditions and requirements of road development and maintenance.

Redesigination & Public Hearing

Council moved first reading of proposed Bylaw 1799 for the purpose of amending the Land Use Bylaw 1773 by redesignating a portion of the SE 6-32-23 W4 from Agriculture District to the Agriculture Business District. The applicants wish to develop a commercial greenhouse with a parking area. The public hearing is scheduled for August 20, 2019 at 11:00 a.m.

HensOn June 18, 2019

the potential to allow hens in Hamlets, ex-hamlets and Country Residential properties was discussed. Hens are currently prohibited. A proposed Hen bylaw,

50% grant funding from the County, to a maximum of $112,500 for development of a Master Infrastructure Plan. Council approved the funds to come from Contingency Reserve to be transferred to ‘Governments’.

At a 2019 Operating Budget deliberations, Council approved $10,000 to be budgeted for the Youth Sponsorship Policy and as of June 26, 2019, Administration had granted $9800 through this policy. Administration has received four recent requests from the Three Hills Soccer Association requesting youth sponsorship for their teams to travel to Provincials. As well, Administration received a team request, for the Acme Red Sox U11 to travel to Provincials. This would be five teams at $900 each, totalling $4500. A motion was made by Council to transfer $4300 to Youth Sponsorship accounts and have all future applications brought to Council individually. The motion was defeated 4-2. No other motions were entertained.

Council moved to accept as presented an updated Board and Committee Appointments, The website would also be updated.

InvitationsCouncil approved

this time’ an invitation from Lac Ste. Anne County to participate in the development of a rural caucus, consisting of Alberta’s rural municipalities. The stated goal of the group would be to work with MLA’s to ensure that they understand

would require amending the animal control bylaw. Administration is to prepare a draft Land Use Bylaw and draft Master Rates Bylaw for an up and coming Committee of the Whole meeting.

RequestsCouncil declined a

request from Swallwell to mow the Community Hall grounds as part of the regular hamlet mowing schedule. The County has no policy or fee structure in place that allows for mowing requests on public lands as they relate to community halls. There was a bit of discussion around the council table of how granting the request would set up a precedent. Just adding one hamlet mowing to the schedule would equate to an increase of $1,983.25 annually, based on labor, fuel, equipment usage, and the time spent mowing.

Council will request exemptions from the Minister of Municipal Affairs for an Intermunicipal Development Plan and Intermunicipal Collaborative Framework with Starland County and Stettler County due to a very small (1/2 a mile) area of shared boundary.

FinancialsThe Village of Linden

was approved to receive

attendance of the Reeve to an invitation meeting with the Minister. It was held on July 2, 2019.

Council authorized attendance of two councillors for the Three Hills 2019 Community Discovery Night.

Council declined ‘at

the issues facing rural Alberta. The County felt it was already a member of a lobby group that represents rural Alberta and has an existing relationship with the Province. Council does not see any value at this time in establishing another.

Field scouting can lead to more successful crop production.

“There are numerous factors that can impact a developing crop,” says Mark Cutts, crop special-ist, Alberta Ag-Info Cen-tre. “Scouting can help producers understand what is occurring in their fields and help them make prop-er management decisions.”

At this time of the grow-ing season, he says that field scouting can provide information on the effec-tiveness of herbicide appli-cations.

“Scouting after a herbi-cide application will show producers if the weeds were adequately controlled. In the majority of cases, pro-ducers will find that the chemicals have worked. However in certain situa-tions, field scouting may show the weeds weren’t properly controlled and

producers can start to evaluate what might have caused the problem.”

A difference in the pat-tern of weed escapes can indicate poor performance of a herbicide due to en-vironmental conditions or that herbicide resistant weeds may be present.

“If the weeds that es-caped the herbicide appli-cation are found through-out the entire field, it can point to limited herbicide effectiveness due to en-vironmental conditions such as low temperatures,” he adds. “However, if the weeds are found in isolated patches, this may be a her-bicide resistance issue. If unsure of the cause, contact an agronomist or chemical company representative to discuss the possible causes of the weed escapes.”

Scouting of crops at this time also allows producers to assess disease develop-

ment.“For example,” says

Cutts, “Barley leaf diseases such as scald and net blotch move from the older leaves to the newer leaves as the growing season progresses. If leaf diseases are present and environmental condi-tions remain favourable for disease development, a fungicide application may be necessary once the crop has reached the flag leaf stage.

At this time of the grow-ing season, producers can evaluate a number of insect pests and recently emerged insects.

“Another example - as head emergence occurs on wheat crops, producers should regularly monitor for wheat midge. In canola as flowering starts, produc-ers can start to evaluate the presence of cabbage seed-pod weevil.”

Delphine Sitter1941 - 2019

Delphine passed away peacefully at the Peace River Hospital July 7th, 2019 with her daughter Janet by her side. Del was born to Bar-tholomew and Louise Aherne on February 9th, 1941 in Westlock, Alberta. Del was predeceased by her parents Bartholomew and Louise; husband Tony; Brothers John and Leo; children Gwen, Charlene, Blaine, and baby son; son-in-law Richard; and nephews Brian and Terry. Del is survived by daughters Janet, Cheryl (Tom), Val; son Doug (Katie); grandchil-dren Joel, Becky, Cheri, Madison, Serena, Tina, Steven, Shane; great grandsons Ethan and Michael and great granddaughter Nicole. Del’s mother passed away when she was 7 years old. Del carried the load of homemaker at an early age. She recalls cooking for thrash-ing crews on the family farm at the age of 10-years-old. She carried the tasks of being the female pres-ence on the farm on her shoulders, which helped to shape her into the woman that she became. Greatly because of this experience, she was able to instill the qualities of strength, independence, and em-pathy into her children and grand-children. Del met her “Waterloo” Tony Sitter in Westlock where they were married on December 19th, 1959. Together they had six chil-dren and were faced with the hard-ships of three infant deaths and the death of their 23-year-old daughter Gwen in 1989. They lived in several communities in Alberta and British Columbia during the fi rst few years

of their marriage. They purchased a farm in Linden, Alberta where Del worked at the Linden Co-op as the dry goods manager. She did this until her and Tony became owner/operators of Ty-Dal Tank Truck Ser-vices. They later moved to Sangu-do, AB in 1998 to own/operate the Carwash and Laundromat. Once ready for retirement they moved to Berwyn, AB in 2004 to be near their daughter Janet and her family. Del was a fabulous cook, and she was always eager to feed and care for others. She passed on her tech-niques of making bread, “noodles” and sausage to her children as well as to her grandchildren Joel and Becky. Del embraced her Irish heritage throughout her life, en-suring that Irish history and music were passed down to her children and grandchildren. She wished to visit Ireland, but unfortunately her ill health over the years had made that dream out of reach. Del was an inspiration to everyone she met. Her kindness, gentle nature, gener-osity and humour were her greatest attributes. These attributes are the reason that she was immediately loved by those that came across her path in life. She was a devoted and faithful servant to “her Jesus” and the most loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Amidst struggles with her physical health since 2000, Del, being that saint that she was, marched on with grace and humility. “Saints are peo-ple who have made a difference in the world – not by doing remark-able things, but by doing ordinary things remarkably well”.A Memo-rial Service was held at the Cha-pel of Memories Funeral Home in Peace River, AB Friday, July 12th, 2019.

Consultations begin on farm freedom and safetyAlbertans can

participate in an online survey to help shape the future of farm workplace legislation

Farms and ranches operate differently than other employers in Alberta. The previous government’s Bill 6 was passed with limited public input and in the face of strong opposition from farmers. This government will repeal Bill 6 and introduce the Farm Freedom and Safety Act after a period of extensive consultation.

“Alberta farmers need common-sense rules that promote farm safety – not process, not red tape. We’re going to repeal Bill 6, and I plan to meet with farmers this summer to develop the legislation to replace it.” - Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry

“I appreciate that Minister Dreeshen is seeking feedback from the farm and ranch community in advance of tabling new farm safety legislation. We all value farm safety and employee protection, but recognize we are a unique work environment with unique requirements. I appreciate our collective voice will be heard by the government while crafting this bill.” - Allison Ammeter, central Alberta farmer

Minister Dreeshen

industry leaders and will be at events across the province this summer, seeking input from Alberta’s farmers and ranchers.

• The minister

will undertake a consultation tour this summer, meeting with farmers, ranchers and organizations across the province.

In response to initial discussions with agriculture organizations, the government will seek input on:

• recognizing that a farm is unlike other businesses, and that farmers and ranchers require flexibility in meeting workplace standards

• requiring employers to have workplace insurance but allowing a choice of market insurance or the Workers’ Compensation Board, if basic coverage standards are met

• exempting small farms from employment standards legislation, similar to New Brunswick

• promoting education and best practices to improve farm safety

• minimizing red tape and reducing the regulatory burden on farmers and ranchers, while still ensuring basic safety standards

An online survey is also available to members of the public looking to share their views.Quick facts

• The online survey is open until Aug. 31, 2019.

• Minister Dreeshen has already met with key

and other MLAs will participate in grassroots conversations with Albertans about the Farm Freedom and Safety Act throughout the summer.

• This engagement

fulfils the government’s commitment to launch immediate, c o m p r e h e n s i v e consultations with farmers, ranchers and agricultural workers.

Greatest Story Ever ToldThe 2019 production of the Canadian Badlands Passion Play in Drumheller, ends Sunday July 21. One might say that every year it is always the same story, yes, but this year it is “just the same only different.” This year, and last the “Gospel of Luke” has provided the foundation, so it begins with the Luke account of the nativity and geneology and follows the narrative of that Gospel. Of the over 90 actors listed in the program, several play multiple roles. The cast includes names that Three Hills and district readers will recognize as having close ties to Three Hills and area.

Spread the Wealthby Mark and Ben CullenIt’s mid-July and gardeners

are getting wealthier by the day.

are coming into their own and many perennials are pushing up daisies, bee balm and black-eyed Susan fl owers to beat the band. All of this is thanks to long days, summer heat, water and good planning on your part.

We suggest you spread the wealth by cutting many of your garden fl owers to bring indoors – where you live. You just might enjoy them more there.

If you feel this job is over your head, we are here to help you get over that. After all, if we can do it, you can too.Our rules for fool-prooffl ower cutting:

Take a bucket with you with several centimetres of fresh, tepid water in the bottom of it. Plunge all cut fl owers into fresh water as you go. Tepid means “room temperature”: not cold.

When you cut fl owers, include as much of the bloom stem as possible. The more stem surface that contacts water, the longer the fl owers last.

Use a clean, sharp pair of hand pruners or kitchen scissors to cut the stems.

Cut fl owers that are a day or two from their peak. They will last better than those that look their best the moment you cut them. Better still,

fl oral designers. Remember, we’re growers fi rst so beyond this tip we would defer to more qualifi ed fl oral artists.Other tips:

Cut fl owers in the morning when natural sugars are high up the fl ower stem of most plants.

Once indoors, place cut fl owers out of direct sun and change the water every day or two to prolong their life.

Euphorbia and poppies cut fresh from your garden last longer if you singe the stem end with a match. This is true for all latex producers.

If you cut hydrangea shrub fl owers and want them to dry for future use indoors, place them in only two centimetres of water and let it evaporate until the vase is dry. The fl owers should stand up on their own and dry naturally. Some of the natural colour will drain out of them in time.

Finally, if you cut a woody shrub like a lilac or weigela, smash the cut end with a hammer, being careful to avoid your thumb. The resulting exposed fi bers transport water effi ciently up the woody stem.

As gardeners with a general lack of design

That is, if you measure wealth by quantity of colour and fragrance in your garden.

Annual fl owering plants

most fl owers provide the best show while in a vase, when cut in fl ower bud, rather than full blossom.

Once indoors, strip the foliage from the stems to avoid contact with water while in the vase to prevent a build up of bacteria.

Use a deep vase to display your “cuts”. The more water that contacts the stems the better.

Recut stems on a 45-degree angle before you arrange the fl owers in a vase.

Use cut fl ower food. You probably have some left over from store-purchased fl owers in the junk drawer of the kitchen. You know the stuff: the plastic envelopes fi lled with a fi ne, white powder. It works well and helps to minimize the growth of bacteria in the water.

Arrange the tallest fl owers in the middle, the fl oppy ones on the edge. Take that from two guys who are not exactly

fi nesse, this is one area where we might fi nd ourselves standing closer with the accountants than with the fl oral artists. ‘Follow these tips and you will maximize the value from your cut fl ower garden over the longest period’ – it almost sounds like a retirement plan. Here’s some advice you won’t necessarily get from an accountant: share these fl owers widely to maximize their true value.
