Thorhild County approves $24,000
to paint administration building
Thorhild County council approved
spending up to $24,000 to paint the interior of the county administration building.
Administration had two quotes from
undisclosed suppliers — with the lowest
$23,400 and the other $39,500.
During discussion Jan. 27, it was noted
there has been some discussion about
changing the council chamber layout —
possibly moving council to the east side,
with administration and the public gallery
to the west. That layout would replace the
horseshoe council table which seats council and administration. It was mentioned
the revised layout may allow additional
seating for the public. Some councillors
suggested that it made no sense to paint
council chambers in 2015 and then rip it
up later in the year or next year to do a
redesign. It was suggested the room needs
the carpet removed as a higher priority
than a new coat of paint.
Administration noted that if renovation
was to be done of the council chambers,
expert advice should be sought on the
design because it could have an impact on
the accoustics.
Coun. Shelley Hanasyk commented that
council had not approved its budget for
2015 and suggested the budget be in place
before contracting a painter, however
administration advised that the low quote
is available to do the work now.
Council approved the motion from
Reeve Wayne Croswell, with coun. Kevin
Grumetza opposed.
There was no action directed on getting
quotes for the renovation of the council
chambers.

Leadership training seen
as doing a great job
H.A. Kostash School in Smoky Lake students Hayley Prusko and Dryden Lalonde along with
teacher Lorraine Ponich thanked Smoky Lake County council for the $3,600 donation it gave in
support of the school leadership program. The funds helped purchase items, including the books
the students are holding, for the school’s new wellness area. In the photo are coun. Craig Lukinuk
(Front L-R), Dryden Lalonde, Hayley Prusko and Lorraine Ponich with reeve Ron Bobocel (Back LR), and councillors Cary Smigerowski, Randy Orichowski and Dareld Cholak.
H.A. Kostash School in Smoky
Lake’s Leadership Program students are doing a great job of
building their school community,
so Smoky Lake County council
appears willing to continue supporting it.
During the Jan. 29 council
meeting students Hayley Prusko
and Dryden Lalonde, along with
teacher Lorraine Ponich, thanked
council for the $3,600 donation it
gave in support of the program
last year.
“If you need more funds for this
year, get your request in as soon
as possible,” said coun. Dareld
Cholak.
“We definitely will
apply again,” said Ponich.
She feels the program is
“working really, really
well.”
The school’s new
wellness
area
includes books, exercise equipment, pingpong and Foosball
tables, and comfortable places for high
school and junior
high students to build positive
relationships with younger students. Ponich explained that it
helps build a sense of community
within the school.
“I’m very proud of the students
I’m bringing today,” she added.
Prusko said she enjoys the leadership training and the opportunity the wellness area provides for
reading, games and projects. She
particularly values being able to
teach the importance of fair play.
“It has allowed students to connect with other students and gives
me a chance to teach kids new
games and skills,” said Lalonde.

Did you see drifting
truck hit parked vehicle?
On Jan. 24th at 12:50 am, Redwater RCMP responded to a Hit
& Run Collision on 49th Avenue at 58th Street in Redwater.
The suspects attempted to drift around the corner and instead
hit a vehicle parked on the side of the road, causing damage to
the front driver’s side bumper. The suspects were then seen fleeing the scene in a 2011 or 2012 Red Ford F-150. The suspect
vehicle is unique and would stand out as it has a leveling kit and
3 doors.
Redwater RCMP are looking for anyone who may have
observed the incident or can identify the persons involved. Contact contact the Redwater Detachment or Crimestoppers should

Writer backs Croswell
in dispute with MLA
Grades 4 – 8 students from Thorhild Central School attended an Oil Kings game on Jan. 22 at Rexall Place.
It was the 6th Annual Hockey Hooky game – a hockey game with a built-in educational curriculum.
Admission and transportation expenses for the students were covered through the TCS TEAM group.
Demolition tender of
old school awarded
after negotiation with
fourth lowest bid
Thorhild County awarded the contract for the
demolition of the former Thorhild Elementary
School (TES) to Dakota Reclamators for
$232,599 and added an internal contingency of
$23,000 for a total project cost of $255,599.
Dakota had originally bid $275,126 and was
the fourth lowest of 15 bids received. The two
lowest were incomplete and were not considered. Council had awarded the contract to the
third lowest for $225,000 earlier in January,
however that contractor withdrew, so the TES
project manager negotiated with Dakota and
reached agreement on a decrease of over
$40,000 from Dakota’s initial bid.
Coun. Shelly Hanasyk was concerned that
the tender documents for the project stated that
any changes in scope would be sent to all parties, however only Dakota was given the opportunity to revise its price when the initial awarding of the contract failed.
CAO Betty Kolewaski said the County does
not have to notify all parties when negotiating a
price with what was now the lowest complete
bid. However, she added that anyone can file a
law suit over any action so there is no guarantee that another bidder — even the highest —
will not initiate legal action. That doesn’t mean
the company would win a judgment, though,
she added.

Letter to the Editor,
Re: “Thorhild Reeve asks Prentice to Investigate local MLA”, in Jan. 27 Review.
I believe Wayne Croswell. This is a very well
educated, intelligent man, a dedicated, retired
teacher, well versed in what is right and wrong.
Someone who throughout his career was always
a trustworthy friend to his students, colleagues
and friends. He hasn’t changed. His loyalty and
concern has always been evident throughout his
years as a councillor for Thorhild County, striving to attain the best possible objective for all
involved - that means all the residents in the
County of Thorhild - not just a chosen few!
I don’t know whether I would be able to say
the same for our MLA Jeff Johnson. He climbed
the ladder of success under the old PC Party and we all know where that took us! I only hope
that Prentice does the right thing!
Respectfully Yours,
Rose C. Johnson

Reduce your
risk of heart disease
by Alberta Health Services
February is heart month. Did you know your local
pharmacist can be a great source of health
information and treatment when it comes to your
cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels) health?
The Alberta Vascular Risk Reduction Community
Pharmacy Project (RxEACH) is a province-wide
heart disease and stroke reduction program where
pharmacists work with at risk patients and their
family physicians to provide cardiovascular care.
Albertans with heart disease, stroke, diabetes,
kidney disease, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, high body weight, low physical activity
or who want to quit smoking should consider
speaking with their pharmacist as they could benefit
from this program.
Pharmacists are frontline healthcare professionals
who can be reached easily and can play a key role in
helping patients manage their condition and risk
factors, through care plans, laboratory tests,
medication management, cardiovascular risk
assessment, education and working closely with
physicians.

Minecraft Mania at Redwater Library so successful it is back again
The January Minecraft Mania was so much
fun that the Redwater Public Library is holding another one Feb. 4.
On Jan. 28 nearly 20 children and four
adults formed teams and took turns playing.
“Minecraft is the video game that children
are crazy about,” said director of Library Services Gail Walker. “North Parkland Power
REA Ltd. sponsored this event and provided
Minecraft prizes and juice and pizza.”
Games were played on the computer lab
from Northern Lights Library System.
There is limited registration for the Feb. 4
Minecraft Mania, so participants are encouraged to register by phone, email or Facebook.
The creative and building aspects of
Minecraft allow players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the
game include exploration, gathering
resources, crafting, and combat.
Multiple gameplay modes are available,
including survival modes where the player
must acquire resources to build the world and
maintain health, a creative mode where players have unlimited resources to build and the
ability to fly, and an adventure mode where
players play custom maps created by other
players.
Minecraft received five awards during the
2011 Game Developers Conference. In 2012,
Minecraft was awarded a Golden Joystick
Award in the category Best Downloadable
Game. It is one of the best-selling video A group of youngsters play during Minecraft Mania Jan. 28 at the Redwater Public Library.

hosting
variety of
activities for
Family Day
The Town of Redwater is hosting Family Day Unplugged events Feb. 16. Participants are encouraged to log their
unplugged hours because area municipalities have a friendly competition to see
which one unplugs the most.
Redwater’s free family activities will be
at Pembina Place from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00
p.m. with a magic show at 2:00. Activities
include face painting, crafts, family skating, an ice cream sundae bar, sleigh rides
and hot chocolate. The Pembina Place
concession will be open as well.
Community Services co-ordinator Carol
Kassian said, “These activities would not
be possible without our generous sponsors. A huge thank you is extended to
Agrium, North Parkland Power, the Parent
Link Centre and Tim Hortons Fort
Saskatchewan for their support.”
Twenty municipalities in the Capital
Region have joined together to encourage
residents to unplug on Family Day. Everyone is asked to disconnect from technology for the day in order to reconnect with
family, friends and community: go for a
walk, play a board game, eat dinner
together or play outside.
Participating municipalities record how
many hours can be collectively unplugged
throughout the region. Individuals and
families from each participating municipality can log their unplugged hours by
visiting www.fcssaa.org on February 17.
They are encouraged to share their stories
on what they did to unplug.
The collective unplugged total for the
22 communities participating last year
was 129,451 hours.
Family Day Unplugged is an initiative
organized and promoted by the towns of
Redwater, Morinville, Bon Accord, Gibbons, Legal, Beaumont, Calmar, Drayton
Valley and Devon, cities of Edmonton, St.
Albert, Leduc and Fort Saskatchewan, villages of Breton and Thorsby and counties
of Sturgeon, Brazeau, Leduc and Strathcona.

Grades 4 – 8 students from Thorhild Central School attended an Oil Kings game on Jan. 22 at Rexall Place. It was
the 6th Annual Hockey Hooky game – a hockey game with a built-in educational curriculum. Admission and
transportation expenses for the students were covered through the TCS TEAM group.
Councillor upset that he was not informed of right
to counsel when being questioned by inspector
The review of Thorhild County operations
and governance by Russell Farmer and
Associates Consulting hit home for one
Thorhild County councillor who felt the
Reeve and CAO had failed to research and
provide council guidance on the seriousness
of the situation.
Coun. Dan Buryn raised the situation during his council report on Jan. 27 stating he
had been interviewed by Russell Farmer the
previous day.
Buryn said that while there were no specific concerns or accusations being investigated, he was advised that Farmer was operating under the Public Inquiries Act.
Section 5 of the Act refers to people being
compelled to answer questions, Buryn said.
“This was quite the shocking experience, as
I was not aware that I would be forced to
answer questions.”
After receiving an electronic copy of the
Act, Buryn said Section 11 stated he had a
“Right to Counsel” but he wasn’t informed
of this. “If someone is compelled to give
evidence according to Secton 5, should they
not be informed of their ‘Right to Counsel’?”
Buryn concluded, “This experience has
been a very rude surprise in the investigation
process. I wonder why this investigation
process was not questioned and reviewed by
CAO and Reeve, in order that council be
fully informed and legally protected?”
He said there should have been no surprises like this, that council should have been
fully informed. “I am not saying a word
unless I have legal counsel,” Buryn stated of
any future interviews with the inspector.
Reeve Wayne Croswell told Buryn if he
wants counsel he has that right, but as far as
Croswell was concerned there hasn’t been
any serious allegations.
Buryn pointed the blame for the inspection at the Reeve, telling Croswell he opened
Pandora’s Box by tabling a motion to get a
copy of the citizen’s petition signed by over
775 electors requesting a municipal inspection and “you named off names.”
Croswell noted the process is an inquiry
and no one has been charged with anything.
Buryn took exception but said he shouldn’t be surprised by the “limp” attitude when
Croswell said he had met with Farmer and
didn’t feel he needed counsel.
Coun. Shelly Hanasyk said she didn’t feel
the need to have counsel when being interviewed by the inspector but if Buryn wants
legal counsel present, it should be supplied.
CAO Betty Kolewaski noted she had been
interviewed but wasn’t aware that she was
compelled to answer, nor that she was entitled to legal counsel. She said that other
County staff members are also expected to
be interviewed as well as members of the
public and questioned whether council
wanted administration to research council
and staff rights under the Public Inquiries
Act — a suggestion that was unanimously
approved.
Coun. Larry Sisson said he thought it
went well when he was interviewed.
