Producers raise slaughter concerns with ag minister at Redwater
Recent increased enforcement of
mobile slaughter facility regulations is
creating a problem for some beef producers and consumers, so Agriculture and
Rural Development minister Verlyn Olson
is looking into whether or not his department should consider circumstances under
which to allow producers to apply for an
exemption.
During the Feb. 12 Agricultural Advisory Board meeting in Redwater beef producer Lisa Popowich told Olson and
Athabasca-Sturgeon-Redwater MLA and
Seniors minister Jeff Johnson that two
days earlier she had received a call from a
provincial inspector who told her she can
only butcher two head of cattle on her
farm. Breaking that rule could mean a
$20,000 fine.
“As a farmer, I can’t butcher more than
two beef,” said Popowich. “And I can
only provide meat to family, no friends.”
She explained that for many years she has
butchered four head in order to supply a
limited number of people. They prefer onfarm butchering to avoid travel and abbatoir stress and the smells and flavor transfer that can occur at an abbatoir.
Beef obtained from a mobile slaughter
facility is uninspected, so it can not be
sold.
David Sale said that many farmers have
gone out of raising cattle, but they still
want farm beef. Typically, they get it from
a neighbor. Popowich added that some
consumers want local, healthy food and
they go to the farm to select their live animal and want it butchered there.
“Rules are rules,” said Popowich.
“We’re not avoiding tax; we’re tracking
our animals; we’re not selling 150 head of
cattle.”
She proposed providing farmers with an
exemption opportunity such as is available
to people and companies that purchase a

producer at the Agricultural Advisory Board meeting in Redwater Feb. 12.
4-H beef animal but do not have their own
farm on which to have it butchered.
Johnson asked when the rules had
changed.
Olson said the rules are the same, but
meat inspection has been on an outstanding list of Auditor General’s concerns for
a long time. Recently those concerns have
begun to be addressed.
“There is a lack of clarity for who is
responsible,” he explained. “We’re sorting
it out with Alberta Health Services.” He
has not heard of anyone else raising this
issue and will check with his staff to find
out if they have.
Popowich said she was flagged because
she gets four animals butchered at one
time, which is double the two head permitted in a year, but she pointed out that a
producer who butchers one head per
month all year did not get flagged.

County wrestling with dust suppression options
Sturgeon County council will take
another look at the options before setting
the 2015 dust control options for residents.
In December council directed administration to prepare an amendment to the
dust control policy so both calcium chloride and oil would be offered for dust control. When council considered that amendment during its Feb. 10 meeting, it voted
to refer it to the Feb. 24 meeting.
This enables adminstration to report on
all the different dust control options. It
also gives coun. Wayne Bokenfohr the
opportunity to speak to the issue. Mayor
Tom Flynn felt that was important because
Bokenfohr brought the topic forward during budget discussions but was absent
Feb. 10. Flynn asked if there was a payment plan available for dust control.
Calcium costs $1,151 per 100 m and the
county pays $775 (nearly 70%), leaving
the customer to pay $376.
If oil is approved as a dust control
option, it is expected to cost $4,900 per
100 m (one site). That will vary depending
on the number of requests. The county
subsidy of $775 (same as for calcium)
leaves the customer paying $4,125 per
100 m.
Municipal Services manager Ian
McKay said the true cost to the county
will not be known until it is decided how
much it will subsidize the dust control. If
oil is approved and the subsidy is the same
as the county provides for calcium, there
will not be an impact on the budget.
“Yes,” agreed coun. Susan Evans. “It’s
a question of how much we’re willing to
subsidize.”
Coun. Karen Shaw said where Twp 564
was treated with calcium it is packed so
hard it is like pavement. “I by no means
support an oil application,” added Shaw.
“Many don’t because of the environmental impact.” As well, she said there is no
guarantee the $4,000 oil application will
hold up.
Furthermore, Shaw said that once some
people pay so much for dust control, they
feel that stretch of road is theirs and they
“want the gravel swept off.”
Evans said there is a 2005 report from
the Federation of Canadian Municipalities
(FCM) on different dust control options.
“We aren’t alone in dealing with this
problem,” Evans said. “Our residents
aren’t alone in dealing with this problem.”
She said many places do not allow oil to
be used, and she would like to look at the
reasons for that.
Council briefly discussed the use of the
term dust control for action that is techni-
cally dust suppression.
Coun. Ferd Caron said he understands
Bokenfohr’s intent in bringing this forward, but he would like more research on
alternatives.
County Commissioner Peter Tarnawsky
said the county has used oil in the past, it
stopped in 2010, so staff are familiar with
it.
McKay said they stopped using oil
because it was five times the cost of calcium and the expense was not worth the
benefit. Using only calcium allows staff to
do a consistently good job with one product and not chase around with multiple
materials.
If oiled dust control gets added to the
policy, the county will not guarantee the
life of the dust control site due to items
outside its control (subgrade conditions,
traffic types and volumes).
Routine maintenance on oil sites will be
carried out for a period of three years.
When oiled dust control sites degrade to a
condition where the safety of the traveling
public is impacted, the sites will be
returned to gravel.

Alberta’s Industrial Heartland has over 40 industry-based companies
Alberta's Industrial Heartland is
Canada's largest hydrocarbon processing region with more than 40 industrybased companies in five municipalities
which include: City of Edmonton, City
of Fort Saskatchewan, Lamont County,
Strathcona County and Sturgeon Country. The companies produce fertilizers,
energy, petrochemicals and other products for local, national and global markets.
Alberta's Petrochemical Industry
Alberta's Industrial Heartland contributes significantly to the province's
petrochemical sector. Alberta is Canada's leading producer of petrochemicals,
shipping about $12.8 billion of chemicals and chemical products every year.
The Government of Alberta currently
supports value-added development
through initiatives such as the Bitumen
Royalty In Kind (BRIK) program and
the Incremental Ethylene Extraction
Program (IEEP), and through its carbon
This chart shows the value of projects being developed in Alberta’s Industrial
Heartland.
Petrochemical, hydrocarbon industries
have huge potential economic impact
Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA), a key member of Alberta
Plus, commissioned University of Calgary
economist Ron Schlenker of Schlenker
Consulting Ltd. to analyze the economic
impacts of current and potential petrochemical and hydrocarbon processing
investments in Alberta. The report assesses the general magnitude of economic
impact to the entire province.
The report's analysis includes net
impacts on gross domestic product (GDP)
and revenue for the Government of Alberta generated through corporate taxes, job
creation and employment. The analysis is
based on information from industry partners, Statistics Canada, and industry consultants.

Cindy and myself would like to thank the
awesome staff of Redwater Sobeys for
their years of dedication to our business.
Especially the long time employees. We
couldn’t have done it without you and for
that you will always be in our hearts.
Cindy and myself would also like to thank
our customers who supported us faithfully
for the 22 years we were here.
Last but not least I personally would like
to thank Cindy for being my rock during
the good times but most of all the rough
times. Being patient through those 1A.M.
snooze buttons, understanding my long
hours but most of all just being there and
let me vent after a bad day. I love you.
Sincerely Ken, Cindy, Kyle, Dylan

The scope of analysis is limited to the
economic impacts of facility operation
and. does not include the substantial
impacts of project construction or
increased demand for upstream domestic
oil and gas and further royalties to the government. The report included recently
sanctioned projects of North West Redwater Partnership's Sturgeon Refinery,
Williams' offgas processing and proposed
Propane Dehydrogenation Plant, Nova
Chemicals Polyethylene Expansion as
well as further downstream development
identified in a previous study commissioned by AIHA. This previous study was
conducted by IHS entitled Hydrocarbons
Processing Opportunities Study and identified major opportunities in Alberta for
the development of
methanol, urea, ethylene and propylene
facilities.
Overall, the study is
a conservative analysis of the true economic impacts that would
occur if Alberta successfully attracts new
petrochemical
and
hydrocarbon processing facilities. The
report was prepared
throughout the winter
of 2012/2013 and
released April 16,
2013.

capture and storage program.
Value Added Development in the
Heartland
Current projects under construction or
planned in Alberta's Industrial Heartland are valued at over $14 billion. This
includes a variety of value added development such as North West Redwater
Partnership's project to refine bitumen
to high efficiency diesel, as well as
Williams Energy's proposed project to
use oilsands-derived propane to produce
polymer-grade propylene, a major
building block of plastic.
Several existing and planned carbon
capture and storage projects in Alberta's
Industrial Heartland will reduce carbon
dioxide (C02) emissions by 16.2 million
tonnes annually. Two notable projects
include the Shell Quest project and
Alberta Carbon Trunk Line. In addition,
Williams Energy Canada's offgas processing captures offgas from Alberta's
oil sands upgraders that was previously
burned. The first of its kind in the world,
Williams reduces upgraders' annual C02
emissions by 300,000 tonnes (up to
500,000 tonnes by 2015). Williams utilizes the captured offgas and extracts
valuable byproducts like propane and
ethane at its Redwater Fractionator in
Alberta's Industrial Heartland.

County initiates
$1.8 million borrowing
for two road projects
Sturgeon County council gave first reading to two borrowing
bylaws totalling $1.8 million to partly fund two road construction projects with a total cost of $2.9 million.
Council spent more time during its Feb. 10 meeting debating
if those projects should have priority than whether or not to
approve the debentures. Both Twp 562 from RR 244 to RR 251
and RR 241 from Cameron Park south to Twp 552 are on the
approved 2015-2016 local road reconstruction plan.
Coun. Patrick Tighe said he struggles with having Twp 562
reconstructed. He is not sure how it came to be on the road plan
when the three miles being upgraded serve only three dwellings
and had a traffic count of 70 vehicles per day.
Tighe asked if the work on Twp 562 could be delayed or
switched so that a portion of Twp 572 could be done; it impacts
100s of homes, not three. He said the shoulder pull done on it
made it even narrower and residents are frustrated that it is not
being upgraded.
Municipal Services manager Ian McKay said the engineering
and project planning for Twp 562 is underway and should be
done in time for late summer construction. The prework on Twp
572 has not begun.
Mayor Tom Flynn said Twp 562 is an imminent project, but
he understands Tighe wants council to look at Twp 572 from
Hwy 28 to Lily Lake Road. That nine mile stretch could be considered when the three year plan is reviewed in a couple of
weeks.
“We review the three year plan every year,” said coun. Karen
Shaw. “Why question if we will change our minds at every borrowing bylaw?”
Tighe said he had been away when the last three year plan
meeting was held. McKay advised that Twp 572 is on the plan,
but is not in line to be worked on this year.
The borrowing bylaws will be advertised for two weeks so
the public will know about them and can petition against them
if they desire. Council may then consider the bylaws for second
and third readings.
Bylaw 1345/15 is for a 10 year debenture of nearly $1.2 million for Twp 562 reconstruction. The total cost of this project is
estimated at $1.3 million and will be financed with the debenture plus $166,000 in taxes.
Bylaw 1349/15 is for a 10 year debenture of $640,000 for RR
241. The total project cost is estimated to be $1.6 million and
will be financed with the debenture plus $951,000 in taxes.
The current interest rate for a 10 year debenture is 1.538%.
Payments would begin in 2016.
Sturgeon’s audited debt limit at the end of 2013 was $70 million. At that time the total audited outstanding debt principal
was $21.5 million. During 2014 the county took on $5.2 million
in new debentures. Sturgeon County also subsequently paid off
$892,000 in principal debt repayment, for a net total debt of
$25.8 million. These figures are unaudited.

Gerald Genaud (L-R) and Don Grygus from the Athabasca region speak with Athabasca-SturgeonRedwater MLA and Seniors minister Jeff Johnson at the Agricultural Advisory Board meeting in
Redwater Feb. 12.
Olson checking into letters advising
that Growing Forward funding cancelled
Producers who got a letter saying their Growing
Forward grant funding is cancelled because of a tight
provincial budget might want to wait and see.
“I got a letter saying funding won’t be coming
because of budget constraints,” siad beef producer
Lisa Popowich during the Feb. 12 Agricultural Advisory Board meeting in Redwater. She explained that
the letter came only a week after she had received
approval for grant funds for the project she applied
for.
Agriculture and Rural Development minister Ver-
lyn Olson and Athabasca-Sturgeon-Redwater MLA
and Seniors minister Jeff Johnson said hearing of such
a letter was news to them, and they will check out
what is happening there.
“People rely on these programs,” said Olson. “We
need to learn about this.”
He said Growing Forward is in the middle of a five
year program. While some types of projects may have
already been fully subscribed, there is usually some
funding from under-utilized types of projects that can
be transferred over.
Sturgeon County is one of seven municipalities in
Alberta to get a finance intern in 2015.
During the Feb. 10 council meeting Financial Services manager Ed Kaemingh reported that the county
had been successful in its application to host a finance
officer intern through the Provincial Municipal Internship Program.
This is a two year program in which the
county receives a grant of $43,000 per year
to assist with the costs of hosting an intern.
That leaves a net annual cost of $32,000 to
the county.
Host municipalities must commit financial and staff resources to the internship and
provide the intern with comprehensive
experience in financial services. Sturgeon
administration sees this internship as an
opportunity to enhance and develop financial policies and assist in setting financial
standards that meet the needs of all departments of the
organization without committing to long term budget
increases.
Council approved applying for the intern during its
Aug. 26 meeting.

Finance
department gets
standing ovation
during county
council meeting
Sturgeon County council gave the county’s finance department
staff a standing ovation after learning that the county had earned
the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting (CAnFR) for the
sixth consecutive year. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada awarded it to Sturgeon most recently for its 2013 Annual Financial Report.
“Sturgeon was one of 14 winners for 2013,” advised Financial
Services manager Ed Kaemingh during the Feb. 10 council meeting. He said that although it may seem inconsequential to receive
the same award six times, staff worked hard to earn it. They made
a focused effort to meet ever increasing standards and incorporate
improvements in areas such as quality of financial reporting, linkage to business plans and performance reporting.
“Thank you a ton for the work you do and the quality of information you give us,” said mayor Tom Flynn,
adding that it provides the transparency the public looks for in financial reporting.
“It’s impressive to see this happen regularly,”
said coun. Jerry Kaup. “Keep up the good work.

Plan to move air museum activities and exhibits into Sturgeon gets council support
Sturgeon County is providing a letter of support for the
Alberta Aviation Museum’s (AAM) application to Western Economic Diversification for grant funds to assist in
moving museum activities and exhibitions to the Villeneuve Aerospace and Defence Exhibition Centre.
During its Feb. 10 meetin gAAM treasurer Richard
Skermer and director David Jackson summarized the
pending move for three sections of the museum and formally requested the letter of support for the grant. Council approved in principle the museum’s concept
of its contribution to the continued economic
growth of the county.
Skermer explained that as a result of pending
changes at Hangar 14 on Kingsway in Edmonton, the AAM must move its restoration and air
operations sections plus a portion of the museum.
“Villeneuve is the preferred option and a preexisting facility may be able to support our
needs,” said Skermer. “A generous land-lease
option from the Edmonton Regional Airports
Authority has given us some flexibility to think
long-term as to what kind of catalyst the muse-
Alberta Health Services
announces cost
containment measures
Alberta Health Services (AHS) announced Feb.
4 that it is following similar cost-containment
measures as those being implemented by the Government of Alberta. AHS received direction from
the Ministry of Health on Dec. 22, to implement
cost restraints.
“As the organization that receives about 30 per
cent of the provincial operating budget, it is fair
and reasonable for AHS to control costs in light of
the current financial position for the province,”
said Vickie Kaminski, AHS President and CEO. “I
want to assure all Albertans that we are immediately focused on cost reductions that will not have
an impact on direct patient care.”
As was outlined by the provincial government,
AHS is currently implementing cost-containment
measures in three key areas:
Payroll/staffing costs — Each portfolio will
have a hiring restraint initiative that takes into
consideration a number of criteria before filling a
vacancy. Those criteria include whether the position is involved in direct patient care; whether the
duties can be consolidated with other positions;
and whether the position is regular, temporary,
casual, and full or part time.
•Procurement of goods and services – Due diligence is to be exercised for purchases not related
to direct patient care, and use of consultants and
external professional services will be limited.
•Grants/discretionary spending – All areas of
the organization are expected to achieve a reduction in their travel expenditures and travel is limited to circumstances where connecting electronically is not appropriate (for instance, to provide
specific clinical training). Training that requires
travel outside of Alberta is restricted to training
that is associated with specialized clinical procedures.
While these actions are being taken, Kaminski
pointed out that realizing significant savings in
these areas will be limited due to the fact they represent a small percentage of the AHS total budget
and the end of the fiscal year is less than two
months away.
“I believe it is important for AHS to demonstrate that it recognizes it has to contain costs in
administrative areas in a manner that has the least
impact on the provision of health programs and
services to Albertans,” said Kaminski. “However,
we also need to look more broadly across the
organization to identify more cost savings.”
Kaminski outlined several other areas where
AHS has or will take action:
•Contract negotiations – zero per cent salary
increases.
•Management salary freeze – There will be no
salary increases in fiscal 2015/16 for management
and out-of-scope employees.
•Severance – Tightened controls on payment of
severance to ensure it is the last option when terminating an employee.
•Cellphone /mobile device use – New policy
being implemented on cellphones/mobile devices
to control costs, particularly roaming charges.
•Sick leave – Implementation of Attendance
Awareness Program to reduce sick leave costs.
AHS sick time is approximately $190 million
annually.
•Acute care hospital benchmarking – Benchmarking review of the largest hospitals to identify
improvements in efficiency and costs.
•Corporate services benchmarking – Review of
corporate services.
•Management review – President and CEOchaired review of current AHS management structure.
um would be to the Villeneuve Airport.”
Jackson expanded on that, explaining that air operations covers flights while restorations includes work on
the AAM’s planes as well as aircraft belonging to other
museums. The museum plans to feature all the fighter aircraft flown by Canadians. The AAM facility will also
serve as a training area for air cadets and as the base for
air shows.
Skermer said they are not yet ready to host an air show,
but the idea is “more than nebulous.” A trial show is in the
works for later this summer.
“It’s exciting to see the plan start to unfold,” said coun.
Susan Evans. She asked if other municipalities had been
asked for letters of support.
“You are the first,” said Skermer.
Mayor Tom Flynn said more letters of support would
be better for the grant application and offered to assist
with that.

Encroaching outbuilding must be
moved off environmental reserve
Alberta
Agriculture
and Rural
Development
manager of
business
structure and
policy Joel
Bokenfohr
shares
information of
farm
succession
planning
during
Farming For
Generations
in Westlock
Feb. 12.
A land owner in Birchland Resort at Garner Lake is being
directed to move an outbuilding that encroaches onto the environmental reserve and seed grass to return the reserve to its
original state.
Smoky Lake County council voted to have the property
brought into compliance following a closed session discussion
during its Jan. 29 meeting. A deadline for the work was not set.
This action began when the land changed hands, and the
county received a request for a compliance certificate. County staff then determined the outbuilding was not in compliance. The costs to bring the property into compliance are to be
paid by the land owner.
In a later interview CAO Cory Ollikka explained that the
county often gets requests for compliance certificates, generally because they are wanted by a bank. It is a rare occurrence
that something would be found to be non-compliant in this
way.
The compliance issues the county often deals with are generally complaint based: someone reports a trail made on a
municipal reserve or a fence or outbuilding on a neighboring
property.
Because land use bylaws can change, for example the set
back for buildings can be changed, a house that met the former
set back can be declared legally non-compliant.
Strategic business plan important
part of farm succession plan
When making a farm succession plan, don’t forget
the strategic business plan.
“Know the financial puzzle. Make it equitable versus
equal,” said Joel Bokenfohr, Alberta Agriculture and
Rural Development manager of Business Structure and
Policy, during Farming for Generations in Westlock
Feb. 12. He described succession planning as “a big,
big issue” that takes time to plan and implement.
“Starting early is key,” he said. “Keep making
progress in the plan.” It takes time to make a business
plan, retirement plan, succession (training) plan and
estate plan.
Some initial considerations are: Is the goal to transfer the farm to the next generation or skip a generation?
Is the farm profitable? Who are the successors? Have
they been told? Has everyone involved clarified their
expectations? What do the older family members need
for retirement?
A strategic plan includes history of the business,
where it is today and where the owners want it to go in
THIS WEEK
NEXT WEEK
THIS YEAR
NEXT YEAR
the future. Bokenfohr stressed that planning should be
inclusive and address spousal issues. Communication
should cover goals, training and development, the operational plan, management plan and ownership plan.
There is no magic pill for figuring things out when
dividing a farm among children. “It’s really all about
creating balance,” said Bokenfohr. In that balance, consider if the farm will pay a retirement income—and for
how many years—to the retiring parents.
One option to an outright transfer is changing from a
sole proprietorship to a partnership with a child who
wants to farm. Over time that child can purchase more
of the partnership. Another option is to do a Corporation Estate freeze.
If land is being left to a non-farming child, it can be
done with an option for the farming child to lease or
purchase it. A share of life insurance funds can be used
by the farming child to purchase farm shares from nonfarming siblings.
