Alberta Film
Town of Smoky Lake council is looking forward to the
town participating in an Alberta Film project about cabins.
During its March 4 meeting
council embraced the idea of
inviting Marla Touw with
Alberta Film to include the
Luis Bartle cabin in her production.
“It would be excellent exposure for our area,” said CAO
Harvey Prockiw.
Coun. Pat Palechuk asked if
the cabin is in good enough
condition for pictures. Coun.
Randy Mykitiuk said the last
cabin Bartle built will be good
for this.
Council directed administration to work with Touw and
arrange for community members and possibly mayor Ernie
Brousseau to participate in the
film project.
Prockiw said Touw is looking for cabin owners

Dust abatement in

The cost for residents within
the Town of Redwater to purchase 100 meters of dust abatement on a gravel road is $250.
That is the same cost as last
year.
“Is this a break even cost?”
asked mayor Mel Smith during
the March 2 council meeting.
Town manager Deb Hamilton said yes.
Dust abatement is done by
applying calcium chloride to
the section of road. No applications for dust control were
received by the town in 2014.

the competition helped our team grow both score wise and to kick up our dedication to the
sport. Competing with, and against, other skillful shooters in a different environment improved
our shooting. Castor was not only a good experience for the world’s team, but also for the
young shooters. The kids enjoyed themselves in Castor and in my opinion it was a good
experience for us. It also gave the older shooters a chance to demonstrate skills and show
what a very competitive style of archery looks like. Many parents and family members drove
hours to support their children and our school. I believe that having that many people show up
to support us is really special. It shows how important archery is to all archers and our school.

fundraising
event
The Town of Smoky Lake is donating
$100 to the annual Radway and District
Friends of STARS fundraising banquet
and auction.
During its March 4 meeting council
considered a request to support the
STARS event to be held April 18 in Newbrook. Coun. Dan Kotylak commented
that it is on the same evening as the
RCMP Ball in Smoky Lake.
The letter from the event organizing
committee included an invitation to attend
and a request for a monetary donation or
an item for the silent or live auction.
CAO Harvey Prockiw siad he thinks the
town did not contribute to the event last
year. He said council could choose to give
a donation, perhaps $100.
Coun. Dianne Ross moved that the
town donate the same amount as in the
past, but if nothing was given last year, a
donation of $100 be made this year. Her
motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Ernie Brousseau was absent.
Prockiw later confirmed the town did
not donate to the STARS event last year.
This year’s donation will come from the
$9,000 Grants to Individuals and Organizations budet.
Thank You!
The Hawks Archery Club at Holy
Family Catholic School would like to
sincerely thank the following sponsors for
their generosity. With their help we have
been able to purchase NASP certified
archery equipment, and begin an excellent

cost of purchasing
waste-recycling bins
The Town of Smoky Lake will get new
sidewalk waste and recycling bins this
summer. The cost of the bins is covered by
a $20,000 grant from the Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Corporation
(ABCRC).
Town administration has been working
on this for nearly a year. After several
months during which administration tried
to get grant approval for bins from local
suppliers, CAO Harvey Prockiw presented council with quotes from non-local
suppliers the granting body had approved.
“Let’s go with one of these and get it
done,” said coun. Randy Mykitiuk. “Get
the brown ones.”
Council accepted the CleanRiver Recycling Solutions quote of $17,900 for 15
square bins. They are double bins with
one side for garbage and the other for
recycling.
ABCRC is a provincially incorporated
not-for-profit product stewardship corporation. Its $20,000 grant covers 100 percent of the approved bin purchases.
Prockiw said the town will source pole
mounted bins locally.

A shame that Bob no longer at transfer station
Letter to the Editor
I have been away for a week, came
home to catch up on every day life i.e.
take garbage to the Redwater Transfer Station. As I drove in I had the feeling of
“happy expectations” of catching up with
Bob Murland, the station attendant there
of several years.
Instead a young man sauntered out
requesting my permit number. Where was
Bob? A phone call to him at home confirming he had been dismissed - not on
medical leave.
What a sad day that a highly respected
gentleman in the Redwater area is no
longer there to lighten all our days. He
was the epitome of how a major player in
a small community should be - quietly

Holocaust survivor to share insight
on hate, bullying, forgiveness
when she visits Thorhild
Holocaust survivor Eva Olsson shares
what her experience in a Nazi death camp
taught her about hate, bullying and forgiveness. She speaks to the community at
large March 22 at Thorhild Central School
(TCS) and March 23 to students at TCS.
Her riveting story makes everyone who
hears it take a new look at themselves to
see how prejudice and bullying are part of
their lives...perhaps without them even
realizing it.
At 20 Olsson rode the Death Train from
Szatmar, Hungary, to Auschwitz-Birkenau, a Nazi death camp in Poland. Packed
with 100 people in each railroad boxcar,
she called the trip a four-day hell. When
they were finally released, instead of the
fresh air and a brick-making factory they
expected, they stood before a killing factory stinking with the smell of burning
flesh.
Now 88, Olsson is an author and public
speaker telling the story from the inside of
concentration camps with frankness and
detail. She uses her story of the Holocaust
and its extreme examples of hate, bigotry,
and inaction of onlookers to address intolerance and bullying. Her experience led
her to understand that being successful as
a human being comes from the way you
treat others.
Olsson and her prison mates were liberated by British and Canadian soldiers on
April 15, 1945, at 11:00 a.m. After 50
years of silence, in 1996 Olsson began
sharing her horrific experiences and
spreading her message of how to move on.
In 2007, she retraced her steps back to
the camps which took her family. Her
experiences and her mission to end injustice are detailed in her novel, Remembering Forever: A Journey of Darkness &
Light.
Partnering with the school for this event
are the Thorhild Community Church and
Thorhild 4-H Multi Club. Church members are transporting Olsson to and from
the event and providing some refreshments. The 4-H members will set up and
clean up.
“As far as I can tell, Eva herself seldom
makes bullying the major focus of her
talks,” said Reverend Ken Harding of the
Thorhild Community Church. “Eva’s
emphasis is on the evils of hate, intolerance and racial prejudices and the way
those issues become justifications for bullying, as well as other behaviors.”
He believes kids learn to bully from
being bullied. Bullying by authority figures (who seldom realize that they are bullying) is quickly translated by young people into the realization that bullying tactics are acceptable shortcuts to desired
ends.
Harding thinks one of the valuable
aspects of Olsson’s presentation is she
offers a way to break the cycle whether
bullying is caused by hate and intolerance
or because it is a learned tactic to achieve
desired ends.
Storyteller Kathy Jessup entertains Thorhild Central students with her amazing
stories. Kathy treated TCS students and parents to stories and tales during their
annual Family Literacy night held Feb. 25th.
Magnan, Stanford appointed to
Economic Development Board
Town of Redwater council was
pleased to see five applications for the
two vacant positions on the Economic
Development Board (EDB).
“It’s good to see the interest and the
good quality of these people,” said
coun. Jack Dennett during the March 2
council meeting.
“We were actually very impressed
with the letters we got,” mayor Mel
Smith said. He suggested keeping the
letters of interest on file in case more
vacancies open up on the board.
Council accepted the EDB’s recommendation and appointed Bernard Magnan and Diana Stanford to the EDB as
members at large for three year terms
ending April 1, 2018.
Council briefly discussed rising community interest in economic development and the possibility of re-forming a
Chamber of Commerce or establishing a
Business Association.
The EDB was increased from seven to
11 members in December 2014, and a
call for letters of interest to join the
board was put out in early 2015.
The EDB board endeavors to have a
rural community member from either
Sturgeon or Thorhild county as one of
its nine members at large. The other
members at large must be residents of
the Town of Redwater or have a vested
interest in the community.
The other two
board members are
the mayor and a
councillor. At this
time they are mayor
Mel Smith and
coun. Dody Kluttig.

Redwater Museum president Ruth Melander holds a copper Hudson’s Bay pot. It
was found along Victoria Trail near the Victoria Settlement in 1930 and donated to

Melander said. “I just love old stuff like this.” The pots, which had lids and handles,

The long time rural resident noted that council had ing the newspaper subscription. Croswell noted that 60%

He suggested the process should have been to

Letter to the Editor
Re: Concerning the Review article on
March 3, 2015 on page A11.
Unless you print my presentation to
Council in it’s entirety, one loses the
connotation behind the message it
sends. To take a few excerpts and make
assertions and allegations when one
does not have the full context is truly
unjustifiable and unprofessional.
With all due respect,
Rose Johnson
Enough with the games
Thorhild Central grade 3 students, Gavin Woytenko and Nicole Nendze test out
their egg drop parachute science project. Their projects passed the test if the egg,
which was securely fastened into the parachute's basket, made it to the ground
without breaking.
Letter to editor,
Sitting in Thorhild’s county meeting
is truly an experience.
Rose Johnson spoke down to fellow
citizens today and apposing councilors
from her elevated podium.
Why was this delegation sitting with
councilors and not at delegation area,
she had no trouble standing /speaking or
being heard?
It was like listening to story time as a
child, unbelievable and wondrous.
Very similar to the Katherine Bruce
delegation of stories and verbal attack
on two councilors, a few months ago
and other outlandish remarks about
Concerned Citizens.
I find it mind boggling that Reeve
Wayne Croswell who talks about the lies
told by Redwater Review newspaper
(and that’s why we need to change
newspaper at a cost of $58,000) yet lets
his friendly neighborhood delegations
speak in chambers where there were no
truths, slander, twisted half truths, and
suppositions spoken.
The latest delegation also spoke of
county staff being fired for leaking
county information, if this is true, how
did she acquire this information?
This was an obvious well planned
event, but to what end? Just maybe
because a representative of Russell
Farmer, the contract investigator from
Municipal Affairs, was sitting in chambers.
We need more respect shown to taxpayers by elected council and enough
with the games.
—Regards,
Dina Jones
Letter to the Editor
It’s interesting to note that the article on
FOIP (Freedom of Information) appeared
in the next issue of the Review following
my presentation to Council on Feb. 24th.
And it’s a good article for all to take note.
One cannot get information on on just
anybody they feel like. One cannot get
information on any of the councillors or
the Reeve or any employee on staff. But
the CAO contract is public knowledge.
The CAO’s in question was not and it
should have been. The residents of
Thorhild County (the CAO’s employer)
had every right to see the contract and to
know what they were paying for.
Sincerely,
Rose Johnson

Waskatenau will
be a 4-way stop
The intersection of highways 28 and 831 by
Waskatenau is being changed to a four-way
stop effective March 18. Bringing traffic from
all directions to a full stop is an interim safety
measure until a round-about is built.
At present north-south traffic on SH831 has
stop signs while the east-west traffic on Hwy 28
has the right of way and a speed reduction from
100 km/hr to 80 km/hr.
Alberta Transportation communications officer Christine Way said safety has been concern
at this intersection, in part because the two
highways do not meet at right angles and it is
tricky for large vehicles to navigate the intersection.
The upcoming change is posted on signs and
message boards along the intersection
approaches. They include the following signs:
New Traffic Control, Important Intersection
Ahead (with amber flashing lights) and 4-Way
Stop (with red flashing lights). Rumble strips
will be installed in the spring.
Way advised that the design and engineering
of the future round-about is well under way.
She did not have a date at which it will be constructed.

Skill Development Opportunities in our Area?
You are cordially invited to attend a Forum

We live in an area where we often drive long distances to meet family
needs related to recreation and skills development.
With an increasing number of families establishing in the area, what are
the needs and wants related to social, recreational and skill development?
Financial resources to enable new activities, while limited, are available
through public and private resources.
Talents and expertise exist locally in many and varying areas, from sports
to personal skill sets and group activities.
No one community can offer it all – together we can make a lot happen.
The Victoria Trail Agricultural Society is looking to renovate the
Arena Building in Waskatenau and need your input.
Think: indoor soccer, archery, painting, music, exercise gym, bi-weekly
brunches, computer skills, photography, new 4-H Clubs, adult sports,
climbing wall, riding and many more “New Ideas” – Bring them along.
Identifying these opportunities and other unmet needs and wants locally
can help build stronger communities – let’s hear from everyone how we
can move forward – let’s listen and plan together to make it happen.
Your attendance and participation is the first step.
For further information please contact the Village of Waskatenau
