Let’s look at diversifi cation

As the recession looks to be settling in, politi-cians, government offi cials and business leaders have begun talking about “di-versifi cation.” The topic has come up before, in 2008 the last time the economy sank into quick-sand. Whether any diversi-fi cation has been conduct-ed on behalf of Albertans since then is a matter of debate.

There is one unsung hero of Alberta’s economy, and that is tourism. Alberta is a beautiful, breathtaking, fascinating place to visit. Even lifelong residents

have plenty to learn by exploring the four corners of this province.

The historical profile of Alberta is interesting. There are plenty of places in Alberta that offer a time machine to Alberta’s past and offer learning and sur-prise.

In southern Alberta, lots of excellent histori-cal and cultural resourc-es are a very short drive apart. Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump is an inter-pretive centre about 90 minutes south of Calgary on Highway #2. The centre offers the history of the craggy area as a hunting trap for aboriginal peo-ple, and archeological evi-dence at the site stretches back at least 14,000 years.

Nearby in Fort Macleod, the NWMP Fort Museum has an impressive collec-tion of artifacts from both aboriginal and non-ab-original sources, including the precursor of the RCMP, the North West Mounted Police. The history of settlement in southern

Alberta, including stories about the famed Blackfoot Chief Crowfoot and the birth of the ranching in-dustry, are on display. In the summertime, the Fort has it’s own equine musi-cal ride.

In Crowsnest Pass, the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre is an eye-opening introduction to the history of mining in Alberta. The interpretive centre tells the story of the Town of Frank, destroyed 100 years ago by a mountain land-slide. It’s a must-see for any Albertan or history buff.

Heading west, Rocky Mountain House boasts the RMH National Historic Site, the place which host-ed the Hudson Bay and North West Company trad-ing posts. The history of famed cartographer David Thompson and the rest of the Voyageurs are present-ed alongside the story of First Nations in the area. The site usually has a herd of bison there too.

Then there’s natural or

what some call “sporting,” tourism including hunting which is an attraction that brings people from around the world. Alberta has world-class fi sheries too; angling is a massively pop-ular pastime. Don’t forget straightforward outdoor activities, like ice climbing, caving, hiking and other exhilarating sports along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.

Even areas of the prov-ince that may not appear to hold obvious tourism, like the Palliser Triangle area of eastern Alberta, have yet to exploit a nat-ural resource that is fast becoming a popular at-traction in the Jasper area. “Dark sky” watching has become one of the best-kept secrets in tourism. The hobby involves enjoy-ing the Milky Way galaxy that’s minutely visible in areas of Alberta at night that don’t have lots of man-made glare. It’s com-pletely unexploited right now in an area of the prov-ince that would be perfect

for it.There are more tourist

opportunities in interpre-tation and heritage that aren’t being exploited. The “Golf Ball” in Alsask, a hamlet on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, was a part of the “pine tree line” of radar stations built during the early Cold War to protect the United States (and of course Canada) from Soviet mis-siles or invasion across the arctic circle. It’s a fascinat-ing part of North American history that many today, especially in the Millennial generation, know little or nothing about. Currently, many abandoned defense bases are simply rusting away.

With the dollar low, Canada should be very at-tractive to American tour-ists as they get 30 to 40 cents more on the dollar; Alberta should be capital-izing on this and making tourism the kind of indus-try that can stand beside energy, agriculture and forestry.

Reader says Wetaskiwin County

budget out of controlDear editor,With all the cutbacks from government freezing wages,

private sector rollbacks, layoffs, wage freezes, the County of Wetaskiwin have approved a three per cent cost of living adjustment (COLA) for all salaries and wages for employees. Can we as ratepayers afford this?

From the County of Wetaskiwin’s fi nancial statement Dec. 31, 2014, salary of councilors, CAO and designated offi cer assessment, here is their 2014 salaries:

Councilors from Div. 1 to Div. 7 salaries 324,980 times 3 per cent COLA = 9,749.40 increase. Can we afford this?

Salary for CAO 193,515 times 3 per cent COLA = 5,805.45 increase. Can we afford this?

Salary designated offi cer assessment 109,822 times 3 per cent COLA = 3,294.66 increase. Can we afford this?

The cost increase for the seven councilors, CAO and designated offi cers for assessment is 18,849.51, this is not counting the rest of the county employees. The allowances for councilors, CAO and designated offi cer assessment is $110,388.

Look at the Pipestone Flyer Thursday, Dec. 24, 2015 page 11, “Wetaskiwin County approves interim 2016 budget.”

We have to question why those we elect to represent us prosper, while those who provide their salaries lan-guish and suffer.

Journalism 30 years ago to today

I began my career in journalism with a certain amount of surprise and a great deal of trepidation.

I, a housewife with three kids, whose expertise had revolved around making melt in your mouth de-licious cinnamon buns, stepped tentatively past the threshold of the news-

Kyoto protocol’s collapse no surprise

Recent talk by our dil-igent provincial gov-ernment about climate change and how our dil-igent provincial govern-ment is working 24 hours a day to save us from ourselves reminds me of something I wrote a lot about early in my career: the Kyoto protocol.

The protocol was an agreement on paper by dozens of nations, which they were concerned about the environment, and the effects of human

BY STU SALKELDTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

activity on the environ-ment (mostly pollution). Generally, the protocol called for keeping nations greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels.

When the controver-sial document came to Parliament, Conservative Party MP Bob Mills set a House of Commons re-cord for longest fi libuster (Nov. 26, 2002, 11 hours), as he was dead set op-posed to the ratifi cation of the Kyoto Protocol; Jean Chretien’s Liberal majori-ty was guaranteed to pass the Kytoto protocol, and showed no interest in ei-ther the opinions of op-posing politicians or the people who elected them, or the economic effect the Kyoto Protocol would have for the benefi ts it offered.

“The Benefi ts It Offered.” Therein lies the meat of the issue.

Mills, MP for not only Red Deer but also Rocky Mountain House, the com-munity where I worked,

was a retired schoolteach-er who reveled in exposing posturing politicians and exposing hypocritical, cor-rupt and pointless exercis-es like the Kyoto Protocol.

Mills pointed out to me in numerous interviews that, though the Kyoto Protocol signatories swore to tackle the demon of cli-mate change, some, if not all, of the largest polluters in the world were not in-volved in the protocol. The United States didn’t ratify the protocol and China ap-parently only signed the Kyoto Protocol on agree-ment that the communist nation wouldn’t have to cut its greenhouse gas emissions.

Globally, China is one of the largest emitters of car-bon dioxide in the world, if not the largest. In 2006, ac-cording to the Netherlands E n v i r o n m e n t a l Assessment Agency, China overtook the U.S. as the largest emitter in the world of CO2. If you pay

attention to international news, you’ll be aware of how air pollution in China has become staggeringly bad. On Dec. 1, 2015 Global News ran a story about a Beijing artist who was able to “vacuum up” the Chinese capital city’s “air” and bake the air into a brick.

The Kyoto Protocol also included “fl exibility mech-anisms.” In essence, these mechanisms ensured that not all Kyoto part-ners were created equally. Some were allowed special treatment. India, for exam-ple, was given “non-bind-ing” targets for the Kyoto Protocol. Meaning, India was allowed to continue polluting as it wished.

India’s contribution to polluting the global eco-system is considerable. According to the report “Country Analysis Brief: India” written by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in 2011, India was the third larg-

est emitter of CO2 in the world in 2009.

Then there are the crooked parts of the pro-tocol. The agreement in-cluded a scheme called “carbon credit trading.” Nations with vast green space, such as Russia, that absorb much more CO2 than the country produc-es, are allowed to offset massive pollution created by other nations, for ex-ample China and India. Of course, payment in hard currency would be includ-ed, and nations with vast green space, like Russia, wouldn’t really have to do a damn thing except cash cheques. Pretty good scam, huh? The complexities of the Kyoto Protocol can’t be explained in a space this limited, but I suspect you’re beginning to see what this agreement of-fered.

Keeping foreign nations like China and India from polluting the atmosphere is impossible; they do

as they wish. Many gov-ernments, including our provincial NDP, feel that reducing electricity use in North America is far more important than lob-bying nations like China and India to cut down the amount of atmosphere bricks they’re creating.

It’s true, though, we can all help in the global bat-tle against climate change. The average Albertan can do a lot to prevent pollu-tion: at home, use energy effi cient light bulbs, buy energy effi cient applianc-es, ensure your home is properly insulated and don’t waste water. At work, try to cut the number of idle electrical devices sit-ting around and, if possi-ble, use public transporta-tion or carpooling. When buying a vehicle, try to buy the most fuel effi cient one possible.

BY TREENA MIELKEBLACK PRESS

paper world, not quite able to believe I had made it past the interview stage.

But, somehow, it seemed the paper gods were smil-ing down on me, and be-fore I knew it, there I was.

A reporter.My fi rst assignment was

to cover a town council meeting, actually under-stand what they were talking about and then write about it so it made sense not only to me, but also to my readers.

I was so nervous my pen was vibrating, but I wrote copious notes, not understanding too much of anything I wrote. I ago-nized over my notes later. “What?” I mused. “What was I trying to say? What were they trying to say?

Oh my goodness, I should have stayed in the kitchen.

Whatever was I doing trying to be a reporter?

What if I wrote the wrong thing? What if I misquoted somebody?

Actually, for about three decades now those ques-tions have continued to plague me.

When I fi rst began my career as a journalist, I was given an old typewrit-er to work on. It did not return the carriage all the way, but I was told to im-provise, so I did.

I banged stories out on that old typewriter prob-ably with more determi-nation than skill, but my stories ran every week and every week I banged out more.

Editors tore my stuff apart and I wrote and re-wrote and I was complete-ly happy.

I also worked in the dark-room, rolling negatives, developing negatives, and fi nally making prints.

I was not happy in the darkroom but no one knew, because it was, after all, dark in there. But it was part of the job so I learned it and I did it and was even a tiny bit impressed with myself until the day I acci-dentally dropped the negs into the wrong solution and they came out blank.

That was the week I learned who my true friends were. A true friend helps you avoid the wrath of an editor and allows you to stage a picture with them in it, even if it is midnight.

On deadline day we cut and pasted all our stories and pictures into strips and somehow we fi t them all into these huge pages laid out on giant light ta-bles. After the pages were done, they were taken to the camera in the back where the negatives were

shot. Then the negatives were taken somewhere, but by this time, I did not care. I was done.

I was terrible at cutting and pasting. Someone from production who was much better at it was al-ways redoing my pages and I would go around muttering “sorry” and feel-ing very inadequate.

Finally, after I cut and pasted for what seemed like forever and people went behind me and re-did all my work, we would order Kentucky Fried Chicken and laugh and talk and be all happy.

Deadline day was over. The paper was done.

Finally, one day the little independent newspaper I worked for was sold to a big newspaper chain.

It wasn’t awful. It wasn’t the end of the world. We all kept our jobs. It was

simply change.As it turned out change

included no more cutting and pasting. We had to learn to lay out the pages on the computer.

I was terrifi ed. I remem-bered fondly the days of my typewriter with the carriage that routinely jammed. Sometimes when I struggle to fi gure out the three remotes we have in our house now, I feel the same way about an old television set we had with a dial that worked only on channels six and eight.

But, of course, change is inevitable and, in the long run, usually good.

Apparently now we are supposed to “tweet” peo-ple.

My goodness. What next?

We get to know you, not just your numbers.

The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) program began in 2009. It is a way for in-dividuals who are 18 and older and who have a valid social insurance number to set money aside tax-free throughout their lifetime.

Contributions to a TFSA are not deduct-ible for income tax purposes. Any amount contributed as well as any income earned in the account (for example, investment income and capital gains) is general-

ly tax-free, even when it is withdrawn. Administrative or other fees in relation to TFSA and any interest or money bor-rowed to contribute to a TFSA are not deductible.

A person determined to be a non-resi-dent of Canada for income tax purposes can hold a valid SIN and be allowed to open a TFSA, however, any contributions made while a non-resident will be subject to a 1 per cent tax for each month the contribution stays in the account.

You can have more than one TFSA at

SUBMITTED BY GOVERNMENT OF CANADA

any given time, but the total amount you contribute to all your TFSAs cannot be more than your available TFSA contribu-tion room for that year.

Generally, interest, dividends, or capital gains earned on investments in a TFSA are not taxable either while held in the account or when withdrawn.

There are, however, certain circum-stances under which one or more taxes may be payable with respect to a TFSA. The following sections provide informa-tion and examples of when and how these taxes are payable, and by whom.

Normally, in most TFSA situations, there is no tax payable, and therefore, a TFSA return is not required; however, where one or more of TFSA taxes are ap-plicable a TFSA return is required must be fi lled out and sent by June 30, of the year following the calendar year in which the tax arose.

There are three types of TFSAs that can be offered: a deposit; an annuity contract; and an arrangement in trust. Banks, in-surance companies, credit unions and trust companies can all issue TFSAs. For more information about a certain type of TFSA, contact a TFSA issuer.

Self-directed TFSA: You can set up a self-directed TFSA if you prefer to build and manage your own investment port-folio by buying and selling different types of investments. For more information, contact a TFSA issuer.

Be aware of these rules and restrictionsYou can contribute up to your TFSA

contribution room. A tax applies to all contributions exceeding your TFSA con-tribution room.

Withdrawals will be added to your TFSA contribution room at the beginning of the following year.

You can replace the amount of the withdrawal in the same year only if you have available TFSA contribution room. Direct transfers must be completed by your fi nancial institution.

To open a TFSA, you must do the fol-lowing

Contact your fi nancial institution, cred-it union, or insurance company (issuer); and provide the issuer with your social insurance number and date of birth so the issuer can register your qualifying arrangement as a TFSA. Your issuer may ask for supporting documents. If you do not provide this information or provide incorrect information to your issuer, the registration of your TFSA may be denied. If your TFSA is not registered, any income that is earned will have to be reported on your income tax return.

Your federal income-tested benefi ts and credits such as: old age security (OAS) benefi ts, the guaranteed income supplement (GIS), or employment insur-ance (EI) benefi ts will not be reduced as a result of the income you earn in your TFSA or the amount you withdraw from your TFSA.

The income earned in the account or amounts withdrawn from a TFSA will also not affect your eligibility for feder-al credits, such as the Canada child tax benefi t (CCTB), the working income tax benefi t (WITB), the goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax credit (GST/HST), or the age amount.

You can withdraw money from the TFSA at any time, for any reason, with no tax consequences, and without affecting your eligibility for federal income-tested benefi ts and credits. More information is available online at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tfsa.

Six tips for spending Six tips for spending your tax refundyour tax refund

A wide-screen TV might entice you. A tropical beach might beckon. But if you can resist the tempta-tions, there are ways to get a bigger bang for your tax refund buck.

1. Pay down debtEspecially that high in-

terest, non-deductible credit card debt. A $5,000 credit card balance at 18 per cent compounded monthly costs you $978 per year. Ouch!

2. Pay off RRSP loansYour RRSP loan was a

smart strategy, and it cre-ated a larger tax refund. Now apply that refund to the balance of your loan. You’ll save on inter-est charges and free up money that would other-wise go toward monthly loan payments. Channel that freed-up money into your RRSP by setting up a monthly Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) Plan.

3. Make a lump sum RRSP contribution for the current tax year

The sooner you contrib-ute, the sooner your in-vestments start to com-pound, and the more you end up with when you cash out.

4. Create a rainy day fund

Are you prepared to cope

with emergency purchas-es or unexpected interrup-tions to your household income? It’s not a good idea to dip into your RRSP, especially if it contains the kind of investments that should be held for the long run. Instead, set up a separate rainy day fund. It should contain three to six months living expens-es in secure, liquid assets. Start building your rainy day fund the stress-free way using monthly Pre-Authorized Contributions.

5. Save for a child’s ed-ucation

Drop your refund into a Registered Education Savings Plan on behalf of a child or grandchild. The federal government kicks in a 20 per cent bonus to the plan, to a maximum of $500 every year. Then, make sure that your child’s education nest egg contin-ues to grow by setting up monthly Pre-Authorized Contributions.

6. Avoid getting a tax re-fund in the fi rst place

After all, what is a tax refund? It’s really an inter-est-free loan that you’ve made to the government as a result of paying too much tax. Solution? Set up a Pre-Authorized Contribution Plan so you can make regular month-ly payments to your RRSP. Your PAC Plan entitles you

Tim Parchewsky, manager, PlanWright Financial

to request a reduction of tax at source. You won’t get a fat refund cheque in the spring, but you’ll have more cash in your pock-et every month. Contact your local Canada Revenue Agency offi ce for more in-formation or speak to your investment professional.

A word about PAC PlansDid you notice that Pre-

Authorized Contribution Plans are recommended in four of the refund tips? Contribute as little as $50 per month, or as much as

Money MattersMoney Matters

your budget allows.When fi nancial markets

are volatile, your PAC Plan acts like a shock absorb-er, thanks to the advan-tages of dollar cost av-eraging. Since you invest the same amount every month, your money natu-rally buys more fund units when prices are lower, and fewer fund units when prices are higher. Over the long term, this simple strategy tends to reduce the average price you pay for fund units, so you can enjoy higher

potential gains.Mutual funds are offered

Incandescent album offers a smorgasbord of genres

Listening to Harlan Wells’ Waiting for June was an unanticipated and surprising journey of dis-covery.

The album opens with Lonesome Road and I im-mediately thought outlaw county but this album has so much more to offer than that.

Within the fi rst few songs, Waiting for June

BY AMELIA NAISMITHTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

also displays lighter tones of country-rock.

Harlan Wells himself of-fers listeners a clear voice to latch onto with a subtle hint of a husky rasp to add another dimension to the music and adds a little character and cohesion to the songs.

However, Waiting for June did not carry on as just a rough and tough country-rock album as initially expected. By the sixth song it was easy to see the album also had a more sorrowful, bluesy side.

These were my original thoughts on Waiting for June.

When I reached Strong it was the fi rst song I was disappointed with. It came off as forcefully enlight-ened and generic (but I think that could be the Judaism-based Christian tones coming through).

Wells’ talent never waiv-ers but such music can get a little monotonous to itself with its singular messages of heavenly love and strength, hence the “generic-ness.”

Even though Wells’ kept the rasp in his voice the song seemed quite out of line with the rest of the album — at fi rst.

Once Strong was fully digested, the eighth of 11 tracks, which heavily references Noah and the fl ood, it changed the fl a-vour of many of the songs on the album, including Lonesome Road to music with similar vibes.

This surprise discovery showed me there really is more to Waiting for June than initially meets the ear and listeners can con-tinue to peel back the lay-ers time after time.

The fact that Wells creat-ed something so iridescent

that will be able to take on and show off different components depending on who’s listening is the mark of a master musical artisan.

While the lyrics of cer-

tain songs may not inter-est the less religiously or spiritually inclined there’s no denying Wells’ talent or the astounding accompa-nying music that married each track seamlessly.

Millet Soccer Association celebrates milestone

With the closing of the 20th anniversary year of the Millet Classic tour-nament, it seemed only fi tting for Millet Soccer Association (MSA) to fol-low this up by inducting 14 lifetime members and two honorary members into its ranks during a spe-cial awards night held on January 29.

In attendance were past presidents who had served MSA from the early 1990’s all the way through to the current president. Over 40 people attended the func-

tion at the Millet Royal Canadian Legion. In addi-tion to the Life Members noted in the captioned photograph, lifetime memberships were also awarded Paul Pay (found-er), Esben Larsen, Terri-Sue Larsen, Margaret Shinness and Randy Shinness.

The lifetime members were all recognized for their immense contribu-tion to soccer in Millet over many years – their unique qualities refl ected how they each gave time above and beyond the time period that their own kids were involved in the sport. For example, Rex Johnson,

SUBMITTED BY ERIN SAUNDERSMILLET SOCCER ASSOCIATION

who was a board member in 2011, showed the cur-rent board in 2015 how to run the paint machine and the irrigation system. David Ramsey, past presi-dent from 2000/01, was on hand at last year’s tour-nament to help with the administration and fi ll in anyway possible. The list of how these past board members, to this day, continue to help with the Association is endless.

Two outstanding individ-uals were also named hon-orary members of Millet Soccer. Chuck O’Neill of C. O’Neill Distributors was not only instrumental in founding the association back in 1989, but he has been a huge supporter of minor sports in Millet. The other individual is Al Hendriks of Pipestone Links Golf Course. Since installing the irrigation system in the Paul Pay fi elds, Al has been MSA’s turf “expert”. Without his expertise and constant nurturing, the fi elds would not have been in the great condition they were in just in time for the 20th Annual Millet Classic tour-nament last year.

A signifi cant moment of the awards evening was recalling the quote made by founder Paul Pay back in 1989. “Why should our kids have to travel to Leduc or Wetaskiwin to play soccer?” Once Paul said that, he and newly inducted honorary mem-ber Chuck O’Neill set out

to start Millet Soccer 27 years ago. And Millet his-tory was made. Also, since Paul moved from the area a few years later, the en-suing board members had never met him. It was with a great chuckle that a pic-ture of Paul was displayed and the attendees said “Oh, that is what he looks

like.”MSA president Erin

Saunders noted that the 2016 board was thrilled to host this event to honour its past. However, “seeing the past made us think of the future,” she said. More board members are need-ed for this upcoming sea-son as registration starts

Feb. 27 in the Hugo Witt room in the Agriplex”. This year, there are 4 registra-tion dates. Feb. 27, March 16, Mar. 22 and Mar. 23. Times and locations can be found at www.millet-soccer.ca, on Facebook, or people can contact MSA registrar Kathryn at 780-362-2369.

Wetaskiwin county council approved community donations

County of Wetaskiwin councillors made multiple decisions regarding different rec-reation and community culture endeav-ours at their Feb. 2 meeting.

Plexiglass donation The Alder Flats Agricultural Society

is being given the plexiglass from the Winfi eld Agriplex as the glass will not

fi t the dimensions of the new, alumi-num dasher system being installed in the Winfi eld establishment come spring.

Wetaskiwin county council received a letter from the Alder Flats Agricultural Society requesting the plexiglass, which is in good condition, be donated to them for a new skating rink in Alder Flats.

The Winfi eld Minor Hockey Association has volunteered to remove the current wooden dasher system and plexiglass from

the Winfi eld Arena, cutting the removal costs from the project, which County of Wetaskiwin CAO Frank Coutney previously stated is being covered by the $1 million in Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) funds the county received late last year.

Coun. Lyle Seely moved council do-nate the plexiglass to the Alder Flats Agricultural Society.

“We’re giving it to them,” said Coutney in an interview with the Leduc-Wetaskiwin

Pipestone Flyer. He added council was able to go through the matter with little discussion.

FCSS donation Council also increased it’s annual do-

nation to the FCSS Seniors Wellness Conference from $200 to $500.

Coutney says the request for an increase is a result of rising costs and that the county has been making the donation for the conference for a long time.

Wetaskiwin community standards

bylaw given third reading

Wetaskiwin city council gave second and third read-ing to a bylaw at it’s Jan. 11 council meeting.

The bylaw comes from the protective services de-partment wanting to com-bine several city bylaws to make information access easier and more manage-able for the public, as well as bylaw and policing ser-vices.

Leigh Sawicki, director of protective services, says the community standards bylaw is an accumulation of several other bylaws that were already in place in the city and no new punishable or prohibited action were added.

“The only thing that’s new is the actual penalty section of the bylaw,” said Sawicki.

During a brief presenta-tion at the council meeting Sawicki said most of the included actions previously resulted in automatic court time. “Which the RCMP had a hard time with.”

“It’s just giving a better tool to our police services,” he added.

The community stan-dards bylaw names 41 of-fenses punishable by a fi ne ranging from littering and bullying — “bullying means verbal or physical abuse, threats, taunts, teasing, name calling or repeated abusive communication, direct or through any me-dium whatsoever”, as stat-ed in the bylaw, to the ac-cumulation of automobile parts visible from outside the property to obstruction of enforcement.

Each action begins with a $250 fi ne for the fi rst of-fence, moving up to $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third. The exception is obstruction of enforce-ment, which begins at $500 to $1,000 and $1,500 for a third time offense.

Sawicki says some of the offences, such as spitting, will admittedly be more diffi cult to enforce than others, but most are still common in community standard bylaws across the province. “If we don’t have them in the bylaw it’s un-enforceable, period.”

The community stan-dards bylaw replaces and repeals the city’s noise abatement, noise abate-ment amendment, nui-sance, nuisance amend-ment, public safety and curfew bylaws.
