Fyte - Throndson oppose increase in

Mayor's salary

The temperature rose a few degrees in the Town Hall Annex during the Council meeting on Monday night when a proposed pay in- crease for the mayor was under discussion. The str- ongest opposition to the increase, from $8,000 per annum plus $4,000 for expenses to $13,332 per annum plus $6,668 expenses was voiced by councillors Fyfe and Throndson who strongly argued that the increase was not justified.

Coun. Myrna Fyfe asked for an assessment in terms of benefits which would be received by the Town of St. Albert by the increase and Mayor Plain stated that the benefits of his activities can only be judged by the council and by the etectorate. He offered that the position of mayor of a multi-million dollar public corporation, such as the Town, is one which involves between 60 and 70 hours per week of

work for a competent job to be done. Coun. Fyfe persis- ted with this point asking if it was on this basis which the mayor justified pursuing the role of chief executive of the town. Mayor Plain stated that this was an indication of the difficulty involved in doing a competent job as mayor only on a part time basis.

Mr. Plain suggested that one would have to be wealthy if not rich to extend the time necessary to the tasks without being provided with an income. The mayor stated that if one was in such a situation a nominal remun- eration would be sufficient. “If indeed you are in any job of any merit, requiring any degree of competence or exercise of skill, that job in itself will require some considerable time and effort. The trade off is obvious,”’ he stated.

Mrs. Fyfe persisted stat- ing that a management

Town saves $300,000

St. Albert's Town Council accepted a tender from N, S. Pawliuk and Son Contracting Limited for the construction of the second water supply line from the City of Edmonton to the Town of St. Albert at a special meeting held December 23, 1974.

The Pawliuk tender was the lowest of seven tenders received for the project ($300,887.25) while the ten- der received from Standard General Construction (BA- CM) was the highest ($98S,- 008.00).

Stanley Associates En- gineering, consultants for the town in this matter, had made a pre-tender estimate sometime ago which app

raised the total cost of the project at $1,075,000.00. Based on the tender accept- 2d, the cost of the town's pre-ordered material, and an allowance for engineering and contingencies, the esti- mated total cost of the project is now $783,000.00. The savings to the town is about $300,000.

Mr. R. L. Byron, Town Administrator, told the Gaz- ette that the saving is “pretty good stuff"’ and that the project will be completed by late spring as had been anticipated,

She suggested that before any support is given to this proposal an analysis should be conducted by a creditable firtn. To this point Mayor Plain suggested that the councillor perhaps did not have a full understanding of the duties involved in the position of the mayor she should follow the mayor as he proceeds on his duties. He told Coun. Fyfe she could commence the survey Tues- day morning_at nine o'clock. Mrs. Fyfe stated that she was not satisfied with the answer Mayor Plain Bas supplied to justify fave the time spent in perform ance of his duties. The mayor responded that his role required whatever amount of time which he judged nec- essary for the performance of those duties required of him.

Coun. Throndson stated that he felt it necessary to express his own view on the matter noting that he was not in favour of any increase in the salaries for mayor, de- puty mayor, or councillors. He stated that he felt it poor timing to bring the matter forward at a time when negotiations were underway with the unions of the Town employees and also stated that he did not believe that the people of St. Albert had given a mandate for anything more than a part time mayor.

Councillors Smith, Bread- ner, Wetsch and Lukay offered support to the pro- posal to increase the mayor's salary. Coun. Wetsch em- phasized that the salary increase did not represent a whim of thought. He sugg- ested that the matter be adjourned for a two week period to allow the public to express views on the matter and noted that he was

Decision deferred in of interest

conflict

A motion by Coun. Barry Breadner to have the matter of a possible conflict of interest involving Coun. Rod Throndson dropped was de- feated by a vote of 1 to 5S at the meeting of council held on Monday night.

Coun. Wetsch a lawyer summarized the feelings of the rest of the members of council when he stated that they should either take the matter to court or simply do nothing. *‘I do not think we should take a positive step to drop the matter because that may put an ojective value

on the matter,’’ he said. He did not feel that there was a legal obligation to do some- thing on the council level, though he stated that there may be places upon the council, and noted that it is usually through ratepayer action that these matters end up in court, and at this time no ratepayer has indicated that such action was to be pursued.

Council was in sympathy, with all members stating that a possible conflict of interest was dubious in this case. Coun. Fyfe expressed her

willingness to have the matter dropped or following the suggestion of the mayor that the matter be tabled until such time as the provincial government re- viewed the indirect conflict of interest clause within the Municipal Government Act. Mayor Richard Plain stated that he would be in favour of seeing the matter tabled until such time as _ the Legislature clarifies conflict of interest legislation either one way. Coun. Lukay said he was Continued on page 2.

the consultants state that they had reviewed the tender price with the contractor and had been assired that nothing was overlooked in their tender. “‘They are willing to undertake the work in question for the prices submitted,” the letter states. The consultants report that they have also checked into previous projects completed by N. S. Pawliuk angson.ane are satisfied that thoy have the capability of completiftg the work on this project.

Mayor Richard Plain com- mented to the Gazette that there appears to be a down turn in the construction industry which the town was able to take advantage of by pursuing the project in the manner council had decided to follow. The mayor pointed out that by separating the construction aspect and the materials needed for the project, which are being pur- chased by the town, a smaller contractor turned out the lowest bid.

The mayor commented that he was astounded with the bid received from Stand- ard Generai Construction which was three times the lowest bid and nearly $200,- 000 more than the second highest.

Mr. Plain said that the only problem which still remains in the question is with the City of Edmonton

and completion of the work in the Castle Downs. He: stated that if this work is completed on schedule St. Albert’s second water supply line will be servicing this community by early June.

The mayor conceded that he hoped that we do not have airy May.

not convinced of a conflict of interest blatantly committed. Rather, he stated, the action of Coun. Throndson to_vote and discuss a motion that a share of the supplementary tax assessment be paid to the school boards actually repre- sented the setting right of a wrong action done by the town.

Mayor Plain said that he would be perfectly willing to table the matter pending provincial clarification, and hoped that people in town would have ‘‘the good sense’’ to leave the matter alone in the meantime.

Mr. R. L. Byron, town

administrator, advised that it would be better to do nothing than pursue a course of action which was not under the jurisdiction of council. “Council now,’’ he stated, **has the flexibility to take whatever action it may feel advisable or desirable in the light of the information which may be forthcoming as a result of the action in the Legislature or on the advice of whatever information may be forthcoming from any other source.

naire as a vehicle to attack the manner in which the previous survey on school opening and closing times was handled. Generally there was a large area of middle ground where smokers and non-smokers could agree and the majority favoured staff smoking arrangements being handled by each school rather than by board policy or regulations.

Mrs. Shirley McCaffery echoed an opinion put forward by many district staff in commenting that perhaps the board had wasted the superintendent’s time in requesting the survey. Dr. Cuts re-acted to this suggestion by saying that the matter was a very important issue and not a waste of time. He hoped that the recommendation which Mr. Gish will present at the next meeting will not be too liberal in its attitude toward smoking.

Mr. Munro said that regardless of the importance of the matter, he did not consider it to be an issue that the board should deal with. He feels the board should not dictate to teachers when and where they may smoke.

Dr. Cuts countered by suggesting the board would be shirking its duty if the policy were to be revised in what he considers to be the wrong direction.

Coun. Smith pointed out that she had received re- action from the public to the proposed raise in pay and that she was very much in favour of putting the matter before the public. She noted that the salary has been a factor affecting the calibre of persons running for the position (she pointed out that she was not making refer- ence to the present incum- bant or any other). She conceded that it is very difficult for a person to give up employment to pursue a role in government without a living being provided. An- other point she stressed was the fact that the civil service is faced with an enormous quantity of work and that many of the duties allocated to the position of mayor are not those normally assessed to be part of the work load of the civil service. She referred to ‘‘thousands of dollars worth of ideas’’ put forward by the mayor since he took office which represent a great deal of benefit to the town. She cautioned against expecting an earnest effort from the mayor without assuring him an adequate livelihood in return. A final point which Coun. Smith pointed out was the matter of the salary paid to former mayors which she stated re- present figures considerably higher than the amount called for in the proposal at hand. Coun. Smith stated that she considered these salaries should be made public so that the citizens a be in a position tc asSess the increase proposed at this time imthe light of pay given previously without the public being aware of it.

Coun. Lukay noted that the town has grown to the extent where a full time mayor is warranted. He pondered if the concern was one of over-spending or rather con- cern with having a full time mayor receiving a suitable salary. He took isue with the point raised by Coun. Thr- ondson regarding the nego- tiations underway with the unions. ‘‘The unions would be fully aware of factors under consideration regard- ing the increase in salary for the elected officials,’’ said Coun. Lukay.

Mayor Plain stated in defence of the proposal that the salary increase does not represent a set rich scheme saying that he ‘‘must make a living.’’ The mayor also pointed out that it was advantageous to have the salaries laid out so that the remuneration can be identi- fied. He pointed out that the salary proposed was such that he would have adequate money to support his family as well as meet the demands placed upon him. He further noted that the salary as presently set out was dis- criminatory because only someone with a sufficiently large income to support the two duties (that of support- ing a family and serving public interest) could con- sider taking on the position seriously. He clarified the full time/part time mayor question by stating that he would only be serving in a full time capacity during the period when he would not be occupied in his reduced role at the university. He ex- plained that a portion of his time would be spent at the

mayor's increase

university during the period between September and May (allowed for without causing a loss of rank at the univer- sity). He pointed out thet his increased efforts had already paid off in terms of benefits to the town specifically re- ferring to the neighborhood recreational complex in St- age one of Akinsdale (‘‘the like of which has never gone in, in the history of this Town’’). He assured that such ‘‘better deals’’ were the result of negotiations, re- search, time, and discussion resulting in benefits to both those residing in the Town now and those coming in. He identified the focus of the negotiations for the ‘‘better deals’’ was found in the role of the mayor. He reflected that such negotiations should be continued in the future.

“*T think,’’ Mayor Plain stated, ‘‘we all should have a look at what is going on because there is a very clear , account. You have to decide for yourself in the final analysis if you want a chief executive officer with the time to do a job of running this corporation up against the full time people in the private corporation.”’

Nearly 20 persons were in the audience at the meeting

A TS TT LS

and Coun. Smith moved that these individuals be given the opportunity to react to the proposed pay increase for the mayor. The motion carried 7 to 0 and the group was informed that they could comment following the coffee break. (Former Mayor, Ray Gibbon and his wife were noticed in the audience), No comments were forthcoming from the group in the gallery.

Coun. Breadher had mov- ed that the Mayor’s salary be increased and Coun. Wetsch had made the motion re- garding the councillors’ re- muneration (which was not discussed at that time). Both of these motions have been tabled for two weeks so that the public may respond to the proposals.

The proposed councillors’ remuneration is $3,000 per annum plus $1,500 expenses. The remuneration paid pre- viously to this time was a figure of approximately $4,- 000 not including a $500 inflation factor, therefore there is not a substantial change in theis remuner- ation. The practice in the past has been to place the councillors’ salaries at $24 per meeting and expenses of $12.00 (effective September Ist, 1973).

On December 18, 1974, a group of about 30 St. Albert youngsters were invested into the

Beavers, a branch of Scouts for boys between five years old and Cubs. The boys are known as ‘‘Eager Beavers’’ when they have been invested and they participate in a program designed to stress sharing and Scouting ideals.

The growing demand to have a Scouting program for those boys too young to join Cubs has led to the institu- tion of Beavers, a program for boys five years to Cubbing. The Beaver pro- gram was chosen to har- monize with the spirit of nature, to emphasize group experience, and to lead naturally into the Wolf Cub program.

Mr. Jack Hearfield, one of the leaders and organizers of the Lacombe Park Beaver Colony, told the Gazette that the boys start out in Beavers as Baby Beavers or Kits which is the start of the process to investiture. The boys must learn the promise (I promise to love God and to help take care of the world), the Beaver Law (A Beaver has fun, works hard and helps his family and friends,) and the basic ceremonies of Beavering before being in- vested.

Mr. Hearfield says that other areas of St. Albert have expressed interest in forming their own Beaver Colonies. “‘Any pevple who would be interested in having their son join Beavers can contact me,’’ says Mr. Hearfield, “The program involves as- pects of the Boy Scout movement and works to- wards the same ideals.’’ The watchword for Bea- vers is sharing. The philoso-

the Gazette REFLECTS

No real conflict

While the question of Councillor Throndson’s good judgement might be suspect in making a motion that the Town return to his employers, District 6 School District, monies collected for school purposes, we believe his integrity is not in question.

The long arm of the law is a different matter, and there lies Councii’s problem. The province was recently reported to be considering legislation which would state in effect that a person in public office would be in conflict of interest only in a situation where he could derive direct financial benefit.

However Mr. Justice Wm. Haddad, in handing down his decision in the case of Chuck Knight in Fort McMurray, arguc * somewhat differently. If it can be shown that there is ‘Cause for Bias’’ then there is conflict of interest involved, said the judge.

It may be that it will be quite some time before Council has clear indication of their legal position in the situation of Councillor Throndson.

Mayors are underpaid

The move to raise the remuneration of the mayor to $20,000 in salary and expenses will undoubtedly cause mixed and emotivnal reaction from the residents over the next two weeks before the question comes to a vote at council.

It is to be hoped that most citizens will consider the matter from all sides and decide whether this is a good investment of public funds. Mayor Plain points out quite correctly that he has already in fact saved $350,000.00 in the new agreement with Qualico Developers under which they will provide a recreation complex in Akinsdale subdivision. It is also true that the mayor’s hours have been increased and that he had no way to determine prior to his election what amount of time he would require to put in to accomplish the goals he set himseif as mayor.

As Chief Executive of the Town it is the responsibility of the mayor to KNOW what is going on in the administration - and if things went awry in that department he would have to take jthe respqnsibility for the situation.

If the people are to participate in government at any level should they not demand that key representatives, such as mayors, be as fully informed as the administration? People do not have a vote on administrators, nor is their work accomplished in the public eye.

In their work Mayors must deal with developers and professionals in the $50,000 and up bracket. Would the public not be better served to attract into office and be able to choose a man of similar capabilities at the polls?

The mayor has the support of four of the six councillors. If the matter is settled in favour of the $20,000 - not a large item by any means in the town’s budget, St. Albert will be well served in this term of office and in the future.

It is time to take this step in this town and in fact in many of the larger centres throughout Alberta. Otherwise the people will not get the kind of performance they require from a chief executive officer.

SNOW REMOVAL

The unusual weather conditions which existed prior to the week before Christmas were ended by a 9 to 10 inch snowfall which inconvenienced all of the residents in central and northern Alberta. It is useful to outline the manner and way the Town of St. Albert handles its snow plowing and clearing operations.

The first phase in the operation is designed to ensure that snowplowing is carried out on (1) all bus routes and the hospital area, (2) arterial, boundary and collector roads, and (3) residential streets. The objective is to provide vehicular access to roads as expeditiously as possible.

The second phase is centered around picking up and removing snow from (1) the bus routes and downtown area, and (2) ‘drift area’’ and places where unusual accumulations have occurred. Bus stops are shovelled out and snow is removed from all intersections where the ‘‘build-up’’ begins to interfere with sight lines.

After phase one and two are completed, the snow is pushed back to the width of the remaining roads. At this time the Town opens driveways which it has filled in. Prior to this point in the operations, each citizen must shovel the snow from his own driveway.

The last storm cost the Town around $16,000 or approximately $1,600 to $1,800 per inch. It is hoped that we can improve on our efforts and keep within ‘‘reasonable”’ budgetary limits. We are analyzing the complaints that we have received. It is hoped that residents will continue to provide us with their suggestions since this is the only way we can continue to operate one of the most successful and efficient snow clearing and removal systems in the Edmonton Metropolitan area.

COUNCIL REMUNERATION

Two motions dealing with the manner and way as well as the level at which the Councillors and Mayor are remunerated will be dealt with at the next council meeting oh January 20, 1975. The proposals are as follows. First, it is estimated that the present payments of $24 per meeting plus $12 expenses for councillors amounts to an verage outlay per councillor of approximately $4,000 per year. It is my opinion that the per meeting fee should be changed to an annual lump sum amount paid on a monthly basis. The reasons are as follows: {a) Each citizen should be able to easil¥# determine the amounts paid to each councillor, (b) the unnecessary administrative expenses involved in processing numerous small claims should be eliminated, and (c) the discriminatory aspects of the present per meeting method of remuneration should be removed. In effect, all types of meetings regardless of whether they are held with one citizen, volunteer groups or are deemed to be ‘‘approved”’ in the sense that payments are authorized should be considered to be of equal importance. The present method of paying councillors does not recognize this fundamental principle of democratic government.

The second motion deals with an increase in the mayor’s remuneration. The proposal is that the present payment of $8,000 salary plus $4,000 expenses per annum for what was purportedly a ‘‘one-half’’ time job should be increased to $13,330 salary plus $6,670 expenses for a two-thirds position. In effect, the proposal is to increase the salary from $12,000 to $20,000 per year.

It is useful to note that if the same standards of payment were applied to the two-thirds time appointment as prevailed in past years that the salary would be increased to $16,000 per year solely because of the increased time commitment. If, in addition, the mayor’s salary was increased by the same amount as Councillors (12.5 per cent to account for inflation), the salary would amount to $18,000. The present proposal is that the payment should include an additional $2,000. This is partially in recognition of the fact that the position may well have to be converted into a full-time position within my term in office as well as in recognition of the fact that the previous council froze the former mayor’s salary for a period of time.

Both myself and members of the coun ..] would welcome the input (both verbal and written) of the residents of St. Albert before we finalize this matter. It is my personal belief that the public interests in a community of this size cannot be fully represented unless at least one member of the local

Town of St. Albert

The Town of St. Albert Controller requires a Senior Stenographer or Senior Clerk Typist capable of typing financial statements and reports with a high rate of speed and accuracy.

government has the freedom to devote full or near full-time efforts to overseeing the operations and formulating the policies which govern the action of the multi-million dollar public corporation called the Town of St. Albert. It is also suggested that by increasing the mayor's salary \o a reasonable level we will give the electorate the opportunity to select their mayor from the widest possible cross section of the population. As matters presently stand, many highly competent people are prevented from running for municipal office simply because of the fact that they are not rich, semi-retired or a member of a select group of occupations and professions who can afford to stagger their office hours or lose a substantial portion of their livelihood. It is suggested that the key leadership position in the community should be open to all residents.

EDITOR’S NOTE: In accordance with Gazette policy space has again been offered to the mayor for a regular column on town affairs. The previous mayor did not choose to make use of the offer and the space was last used by Dick Fowler when he was in office. It was also suggested that the column might from time to time be used by a councillor involved in a special area of interest.

NATURAL

RATES

The Public Utilities Board has approved an interim increase in natural gas rates

charged by Northwestern Utilities effective January 1, 1975.

This action follows the company’s application for an interim increase filed with the board on December 12, 1974. The interim rates will remain in effect until completion of the hearing of the company’s application. At that time the board will reach a final decision confirming or changing the interim rates.

The last rate increase went into effect in 1959. Since then the company has faced continued inflationary increases in the costs of wages, materials, interest and other

operating expenses.

If you have any questions concerning these matters or the rate applying to your account, please contact your nearest Northwestern Utilities office or agent.

Trustees endorse petition against Bill 22

Mr. Bill Webber, chair- man of the St. Albert Protestant Separate School District No, 6, opened the regular board meeting on Wednesday, December 18, with a request for reports from standing committees.

Dr. W. Cuts reported that he had attended the Zone 2 A.S.T.A. organizational meeting on December =42, at which time Mr. Chris. Mc- Donell had resigned as secretary. Dr. Cuts said that Mr. McDonell was honoured with a plaque at the meeting for his many years of service.

A letter was read from A.S.T.A. concerning Bill 22 (The Official Languages Act) The letter urged board trustees to endorse a petition

opposing the act. Mr. Web- ber felt that Alberta trustees should not interfere with Quebec policies but Dr. Cuts moved that the board comply with the request. The matter Was put to the voteand the motion carried with Mr. Webber and Mr. MacFarlane opposing.

Mr. Gish gave the monthly enrolment report for Novem- ber, 1974, which showed a total of 17 high school students dropping out in the one month. Mr. Webber questioned the high rate asking the superintendent whether this was due to the ‘lucrative labour market cur- rently being experienced and Mr. Gish replied that it was

A request from St. Albert Arts and Crafts for use of a classroom, kiln, and storage space was approved.

Two submissions were received by the board, one from Paul Kane and the other from Sir Alexander Mackenzie. Both schools requested the board to give consideration to installing Xerox 1000 machines provid- ing that there is no additional cost to the district. At the present time the schools are using Gestetner and spirit duplicators which are not completely satisfactory. The schools do have access to the Xerox machine housed in the district office but they consider it to be impractical to utilize this machine to its fullest extent due to schedul- ing and inconvenience. After some discussion by the board, Mr. Murdo MacFar- lane moved that the item be tabled for budget consider- ation.

Under trustee items, Mr. Webber reported that he had received a letter from the Alberta Law Society offering to provide a copy of the Criminal Code of Canada for the high school libraries and the society would undertake to update it annually for a nominal cost of $15. Mr. Elmer Gish, superintendent, commenied that the copy would be of great value and Mr. Webber recommended that the board make a positive response.

Community police interaction supported

Councillor Gary Wetsch put forward a notice of motion to investigate and promote mechanisms to dev- elop RCMP involvement in the community and to pro- mote public awareness of the duties and activities of RCMP at the meeting on Monday, January 6.

Coun. Wetsch explained that the notice of motion came as a result of a meeting

of the Police Commission held on Dec. 19, 1974, where the concerns of various service clubs, agencies, and the School Boards were dis- cussed. He stated that there was a realization at the meeting that there were certain steps which could be taken by the Police Commis- sion, the RCMP and the Town, to further the rela- tionship between the police and the community.

Police said Tuesday that Patrick Heit, just under one year old of St. Albert, died January 4 after an unfor- tunate accident in the home.

RCMP said that his mother Mrs. Robert Heit had put the child to bed at 11 a.m. She returned to the child's room a few hours later to check the baby and found that he had fallen from his crib into a receptacle.

The child was then taken to the Sturgeon General Hospital where he was pro- nounced dead on arrival. Police said that the child died of asphyxiation, the result of having fallen into the recep- tacle in an awkward position.

No decision has been made on an inquest.

Mr. Wetsch told the council that he had been very impressed with the things of benefit being done by the RCMP for the community. He questioned whether the public at large was suffi- ciently aware of this and if there were avenues to be explored which could further inform the public. He also noted that there were areas of expertise within the police department which could be passed on to the public. ‘The purpose of this mo- tion,’’ Mr. Wetsch said, ‘‘is to get some ideas from the council that could hopefully lead to the public becoming more aware.”’

Coun. Wetsch mentioned that the Staff Sergeant of the RCMP had had meetings

with the principals of several schools in the past year to alleviate some of the con- cerns of the School Boards. Another idea put forward by Coun. Wetsch was possibly that some members of the community, who have con- cern about the activities of the police, be invited to spend some time with a member of the detachment and possibly travel with him on his night duty. He said that this matter would have to be investigated in terms of legal liability before pro- ceeded with.

A third idea was further interaction between the pol- ice and the community at large in the form of education programs such as informing trained babysitters what to do when a prowler is about. Mr. Wetsch noted that *‘almost every week of the

8 - ST, ALBERT & STURGEON GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, JAN, 8, 1975,

MPs had had only two pay hikes since 1963 while other sectors of government provincial and civic - he claimed were at a much better salary level.

He asked the public to consider that in 18 years every other pay hike for MPs was in the region of 50 per cent and yet Federal judges could now boast a 72 per cent hike in pay.

Mr. Lambert said that no one had raised the issue of the pay rise since last Thursday ‘‘on the streets’ but he had had calls at the office and also correspon dence.

MP for Pembina, Peter Elzinga said this week that over the holiday period he had held eight meetings in

i his constituency to get the

feeling of the people on the pay raise and the issue of capital punishment.

He said that some of the meetings had been attended by more than SO persons,

He said that the general opinion among his consti- tuents was not to accept the 50 per cent pay hike - that was a definite no-no. Consti- tuents did not find the lesser amount of 33 per cent an easy one to approve and Mr. Elzinga pointed out that they were ‘‘torn”’ on this point. Others he said felt that the pay raise should come in more gradually. He felt that if the proposed SO per cent pay hike, which would take MPs salaries up to $39,000 ($12,000) for expenses, had gone through it would have created a dangerous prece- dent for the country and this would have been damaging. The comments of consti- tuents in this matter were appreciated, he added, and ‘I'll abide by their guide- lines."’

Mr. Elzinga also felt that the issue should be taken out of the hands of MPs and that an independent board should bring in its recommenda tions.

On the issue of capital punishment, Mr. Elzinga said that it should be for all those found guilty of murder, whether a peace officer or a member of the public had been murdered, but that the actual execution should be carried out in a more humane way.

Member for Wetaskiwin Stan Schellenberger said that MPs were in a dilemma over capital punishment, some

thought that it was 4 deterrent to violent crimes and some not. He said that

his constituents were split 50-50 on the issue of capital punishment for any human life. Mr. Schellenberger said that many MPs were ‘‘dis-

gusted’' at the cabinet for commuting death sentences, when the murder of a law enforcement officer was in volved. He said that now il seemed that many people were having second thoughts about joining the force, 4 they felt that the law did not provide them with adequate protection,

On the issue of the pay raise, he said some had

misunderstood the terms on which MPs were seeking their raise, but in his const! tuency, he said most people found the idea of a JJ per cent pay rise over six years totally acceptable

St. Albert Comets rang in the New Year on a winning note. The Comets led by

Comet’s Bob Beaulieu starting one of his many rushes to insure the puck was moved out of Comet’s end and planted in

visiting Leduc zone.

defenceman Bob Beaulieu shut-out the visiting Leduc senior team 6-0 on Sunday, January S.

The play of our senior club proved far too omnious for the younger unexperienced visitors.

Scoring opened at 3:44 of the first period on a goal-mouth scramble when Comets Klassen beat B. Lanman on a low glove side shot. From here on in, the Comets pulle ether to play some o. finest checking and play making seen in the arena this year. Fatyenski rounded out the scoring in the first period at 9:50.

second period, the Comets potted two more markers from Towpich and a beautiful break-away counter from Darling, a former Golden Bear.

In the final frame the hometown club iced the cake further with goals from Kirkland and Stevens. The Leduc team seemed to find their niche late as they started clicking with their passing and moving the puck around, putting pressure on the Comets. Leduc’s Randy Phillips with aggressive hus- tling seemed to booster the Leduc teams attack. But the steady playing of Comets Beaulieu pulled the Comets out of many close shaves.

Zane Jacubec posted his first 1975 shut-out in fine style facing 24 shots.

The Comets sponsored by St. Alber: Inn, Thermelast Coatings, Willowbrook Ho- mes, Ozzies Sport & Cycle and Standard General seem to have a well coached and organized club, with several smooth and polished hockey players.

They play a clean hard hitting fast style of hockey which could prove to be very entertaining for spectators and all concerned. With provincial playoffs coming close the Comets are priming themselves to defend their Intermediate ‘‘D’’ Alberta hockey championship title.

Comets next home game is Sunday, January 12 at 7:30 with Westlock coming to town.

Bruins drop close one to fast skating Knights

In a close match Tuesday night St. Albert Junior Bruins lost a close one to Sherwood Park Knights. The game was almost a reverse of the two teams game on Friday night last week, with both games going right down to the wire.

Sherwood Park opened the scoring on the first play of the game, getting the puck in front of St. Albert's net where Bruce McCaskill pop- ped a quick shot passed ped a quick shot past goalie Carey Winquist at .05 seconds. Then another quick one by Sherwood’s excellent centre Gord Stewart gave Sherwood Park a quick 2-0 lead at 1:15. St. Albert got on the board at 4:20 on a goal by Jerry Gaylin only to have Sherwood Park get three goals in less than two min- utes.

Although badly disorgan- ized by Sherwood Park’s early fast action, St. Albert, by the half-way mark of the first period, had organized and were actually forcing the play most of the time.

Some players deserve mention for the hard work and persistence: Alex Jensen was a stand-out with his good checking and passing and rookies Dave Grice, Stu Ballentine and Matt Lister all were exceptional in breaking up Sherwood Park’s rushes and keeping them disorgan- ized breaking out of their own end.

One weak point on St. Albert is defence in front of the net. Too often men are left unmolested or allowed to roam freely to get an easy shot at Winquist, who although allowing seven go- als played a good game generally.

With good passing prac- tice and some work on tightening up the defence, St. Albert should be in fine shape for climbing out of fourth spot and showing well in the playoffs.

Goal scorers for St. Albert were Jerry Gaylin, assisted by A. Jensen, Tim O’Neill assisted by Gary Mann; Duane Overn assisted by S. Ballentine and Wayne Kuzio; Alex Jensen assisted by Craig Neeser and W. Kuzio and Tim O'Neill from brother Mike O’Neill and Wayne Kuzio.

The Big Gun for Sherwood Park was Gord Stewart with four goals to his credit. He is a quick centreman, fast on faceoffs with a lightning wrist shot from the slot.

The penalties were fairly even for both sides with most penalties going for roughing, although the game was not typically rough.

This is a fast, spirited brand of hockey the Bruins are displaying and is well worth the price of admission, so come on out and support the club.

Bruins pump Riggers

St. Albert Bruins scored a 7-3 win over the Leduc Riggers in CJHL action on Sunday, Dec. 29. The game, the last one for the Bruins in 1974, was a fast, hard hitting game, that saw the Bruins jump into a quick 4-0 lead half-way into the first period. The line of Matt Lister, Scott Ballentine and Dave Grice led the Bruins to their onslaught with Ballentine picking up five points, Grice, three points, and Lister, two points. Other St. Albert

scorers were Mike O'Neill, Alex Jensen and Jim Woro- bec. Replying for Leduc were Ken Stroud with two goals and Kevin Wakeford with one. The game, witnessed by 175 enthusiastic fans, had 13 penalties; St. Albert held the upper hand in that category, leading 7-6 in the sin bin. The shots on goal were 42-32 for the Bruins.

Barons break losing streak with 3 convincing wins

St. Albert’s Sportshop Barons snapped a two-game losing streak by recording three resounding victories during the past two weeks.

The Barons thumped Bar- thead Midgets 11-2 and 11-3 in a home-and-home series and dropped Edmonton High Park 12-4 in a tournament game at Wetaskiwin.

The wins snapped the two-game losing streak, in which the Barons fell 6-4 to Stettler and 9-S to Wetaski- win, in tournament games between Christmas and New Year’s at Wetaskiwn.

The Barons had little trouble against Barrhead, despite the fact Barrhead edged the St. Albert club 5-4 in a game played at Barrhead in November.

A 3ix-goal second period outbreak Sunday in Barrhead sparked the Baron 11-3 win, while St. Albert outscored Barrhead 3-0 in the second period last Thursday in St. Albert, to carry them toa 11-2 win.

Two goals performances from Graham Brown and Dave Kieser, plus defence- man Mark Tworek’s first goal in more than two years, propelled the Barons to Sunday's win in Barrhead.

Earl Evaniew, Rod Olsen, Real Huot, Paul McCann, Lloyd Olson and Ron Sander added the other St. Albert markers.

Defencemen Terry Leddy and Earl Evaniew, each with two goals, and Mark Harmon with a single, scored almost half the St. Albert goals in their 11-2 win Thursday.

Real Huot picked up two, while Lloyd Olson and Ron

Olsen each had singles, along with Dave Kieser.

Against High Park, St. Albert got two goals from four different players, on their way to an easy 12-4 win. Picking up two were Rod Olsen and Lloyd Olson, Ron Sander and Dave Kieser. Singles went to Dave Ship- anoff, Don Ouellette, Ken Strand and Earl Evaniew.

In tougher conipetiton however, the Barons weren't sharp.

Lloyd Olson had the Barons in front 3-2 with just over seven minutes remaining in the game.

But the Barons quit skating and the roof caved in when Stettler erupted for three straight goals before Ron Sander got St. Albert’s fourth goal with just eight seconds remaining.

The Barons also jumped into a 2-1 first period lead over Wetaskiwin, on goals by Rod Olsen and Ron Sander, and led 3-2 early in the second with Dave Kieser’s goal, but Wetaskiwin struck

Throughout the season, the Barons have blown hot-and cold, and sport a 10 win, eight loss record. The Barons were scheduled to play Fort Saskatchewan mid- gets Monday at the arena. St. Albert lost 6-2 to the Fort in a game played in December. The Barons also meet Drayton Valley midgets in a 7.30 encounter at the

OUTDOORS

Alberta generally has very good weather for outdoor recreation, except for about two weeks in July when the ice gets too thin for ice fishing. That could very well be the story for many of the enthusiastic ice fishermen in St. Albert. I know several people here that can hardly wait for the ice to get thick enough to try their luck. They are the same bunch in the spring that don’t give up until they fall through the rotten ice a few times.

You don’t have to be that enthusiastic or dedicated to enjoy ice fishing. The re- quirements are minimal. An ice auger or ice chisel (just a piece of % inch pipe with an old axe head welded on one end) to get through the ice. A few yards of six or eight pound test monofiliment, a few small lures, and some warm clothing and you’re ready. If you want to look down the hole and see the fish you will require some- thing waterproof to lie on and something light-proof to cov- er your head with. I found that one of the best things to lie on, if you can find any, is % inch flexible plastic foain. It’s extremely light-weight and waterproof. The piece I have was some of the excess that came as packing with my canoe. For a small group an old 9 x 9 tourist tent makes an excellent fishing tent. I have such a tent; you can use 10°’ spikes on each corner to hoid it down and cut holes in the floor for access to the fishing holes.

the lures you use should be small and preferably a brass color. There are many varia- tions of this single hook lure available. The one | prefer is in the shape of a fish with a red dot just above the hook. I tie it on so that it hangs more on the horizontal than verti- cal. J. P. Roy makes his own whitefish lures. He uses a small treble hook leaded in on the shaft with various colors of paint. Its very simple and also very effect- ive.

For pike you can use almost any lure that you may have in your tackle box. You can set a baited line for pike and just leave it, but for whitefish the best results come from ‘‘jigging.’’ The lure should be anywhere from one foot off the bottom to about half way to the surface for whitefish. The water depth can vary from four to 20 feet. However most success will be gained in depths of four to eight feet. There are as many ways to jig as there are fishermen.

I generally jig the line about,

three or four inches a few times and then just twitch it a little to continue the action. After about 20 seconds I repeat the operation.

Adrien Gamache, who is an ice fishing addict, tells me that so far this winter fishing has not been too successful. He has tried several lakes with only marginal success, but adds that things are gradually improving.

I tried my luck at the west end of Wabamun on Sunday with some success,-In two

hours of fishing I landed two whitefish in the two and a half pound range. My fishing was done in four and a half feet of water along the south shore, about two miles east of Seba Beach. The ice is about 14 inches thick and of the very hard clear variety. Many areas of ice have blown free of snow and are quite slippery even to stand up on. You can see the bottom clearly to depths of five or six feet in through the ice in these spots.

It’s fairly safe to drive on the ice at the west end of Wabamun now, but stick to areas where someone else has driven. Anyone who drives on this lake at the east end is asking for trouble. The two power plants on the east end of Wabamun cause water to circulate somewhat and remain open over large areas.

On jan. 14 the St. Albert Fish and Game Association will have their first meeting of 1975 in the Community Hall. They will feature a slide talk about a nine day pack trip into Wilson Lake.

The following standings and point totals are for all game sheets left in arena box up until 11 p.m. Sunday,

SPORTS - LEARN TO SKATE COURSE

Combines take

Park in

fine

peewee action

The St. Albert Peewee BB Combines started out the New Year on a winning note by defeating the Sherwood Park team 7-4 in one of the best peewee contests ever played in St. Albert.

The first period started with the visitors jumping into a 3-0 lead, something which hasn’t happened to the Combines this season.

In the next two periods the boys showed the fans the kind of game control nice to watch as they took over completely and outscored the visitors 7-1 in the final period.

A re-match is scheduled for Sherwood Park on Sunday afternoon.

The league president sent in more stats this week, and here they are:

Top Scorer is Troy Murray, No. 1 with 26 points and Kevin Jackson of the Com- bines is also in the top 10 scorers in the league, being in 10th position with 14 points.

The team arrived in Drumheller Thursday after- noon and in their first game that evening soundly trounc- ed the Lethbridge team to the tune of 15 to 5.

On Friday, Dec. 27 they played Calgary but came out on the short end of an 8 to 4 game and in losing went into the ‘‘B’’ Division.

Saturday afternoon they played Stettler and eked out a 3 to 2 win in overtime and thereby won the right to meet the Calgary team again in the final.

The game against Calgary was a very hard hitting, fast game, but due to a rash of injuries and very strong opponents, they came out on the losing end - final score St. Albert 3 - Calgary 7.

To all the parents they are still champions and from ali reports they acted and played at all times like the champions they are. St. Albert can be proud of these gentlemen who carried our name proudly at all times.

The team members wish to take this opportunity to express their thanks to Standard General Construc- tion - Pro-Western Plastics National Concrete and Safe- way Stores for their assis- tance in making this trip possible.

Achtymichuk and Kilburn took advantage of. poor clearing to pick up the visi- tors two quick goals at the 14-minute mark -- the third goal coming after LaFleur had made three straight saves. Kilburn dug a loose puck out of four St. Albert player’s skates and easily tossed the puck into an open net over LaFleur.

Referee Doug Kane called a penalty shot against St. Albert as the buzzer ended the first period, after defen- ceman Mark Harmon threw his stick along the ice at a breaking Fort Saskatchewan forward. Skoreyko made no mistake at the start of the second period as he skated it alone and slid the puck along the ice.

The Fort lifted themselves into a 5-0 lead 12 minutes into the second period, when a booming power-play shot from Pusnak caught the far corner against LaFleur.

With just two and one-half minutes remaining in the middle frame and St. Albert buzzing all around the Fort net on a power play, Noble

picked up his second goal on a breakaway, against Wayne White, who replaced LaFleur midway through the period.

Ron Sander and Graham Brown broke in on a two-on-one six minutes into the third and Brown gave Sander a wide-open net after pulling the Fort goaltender.

Kilburn notched his se- cond o( the night a minute later on a solo effort, but Graham Brown got that one back midway through the period when he blasted a pass from Paul McCann high into the Fort net.

Lloyd Olson’s goal came after some diligent back- checking, in which he stole a pass deep in St. Albert's end and stickhandled through the entire Fort team, beating goaltender Dave Schultz from close in.

The win was the second in two starts over St. Albert, for Fort Saskatchewan, who narrowly lost out in the Christmas Wrigley tourna- ment for a trip to Oshawa and the Canadian midget championship.

J & B beat St. Albert 6-2 before Christmas, also in a game in St. Albert.

SPECIAL FEATURE STORY By Terry Moore Kinsmen Club President

HISTORY - ORGANIZED HOCKEY IN ST. ALBERT

In the early 1960's when St. Albert started to develop on a large scale there was no minor hockey as we know it today. There were only three organized St. Albert teams playing in Northwest Ed- monton, a midget, a bantam, and a peewee team. In the Fall of 1962 a small group of

SECURITY IS

men met in the Fire Hall: Rusty Gavenlock, Roger Gel- inas, Barry Welsh, Erling Winquist, and Frank Joyal, to discuss the possibility of forming an organized hockey league in St. Albert.

They then registered 300 boys and formed the St. Albert Minor Hockey Asso- ciation. This Association ran successfully for four years, however, the number of boys participating was increasing and they eventually felt they must look to the Town or Service Clubs to look after

THE KINSMEN GET INVOLVED

The late Kinsman Rod Erickson presented the idea of running Minor Hockey to the Kinsmen Club who immediately undertook the challenge and have operated the league successfully since 1966. The motto of the Kinsmen Minor Hockey As- sociation is ‘‘that every boy in St. Albert have an equal opportunity to play hockey.”’

THE PROGRAM IS ADMINISTRATED BY A COMMITTEE UNDER A HARD WORKING CHAIR- MAN

The Kinsmen Club Presi- dent appoints the Chairman.

Nuam 1s ATE Committee Chairman

He makes his choice from the general Kinsmen member- ship and must bear in mind the heavy responsibility that this chairman will be should- ering. Minor Hockey will not be a game for this Chairman, but rather a way of life for him and his family for at least one full year out of their lives. His phone will ring day and night. He will spend

NEIL STEWART Past Chairman

untold hours at the arena and at the outdoor rinks around town. Many hours will be spent in scheduling of games, follow-up on game sheets, sponsors, equipment divisions, referees, committ- ee members etc. Between the chairman and his wife they will average between 40 and SO hours per week on Minor Hockey without a day

The Minor Hockey Chair- man is a volunteer. He must

LARRY MITCHELL Statistician be prepared to take a certain amount of unjustified criti- cism as well as justified criticism. He obviously must be a dedicated individual. Would you make that com- mitment? The choice of a chairman is not an easy one nor is it always possible to have a choice once the res- ponsibilities are fully ex- plained to the candidates.

Once the chairman has been appointed then all the Minor Hockey files are turned over to him and he then has the responsibility to form his own committee and to execute the job of admini- stering Minor Hockey in the town.

Since 1972 the Minor Hockey Committee is com- prised of Kinsmen plus non-Kinsmen volunteers.

THE PROGRAM DEPENDS ON COMMUNITY VOLUN. TEERS

Coaches and assistant coaches man hours would total to approximately 1,000 hours per weck during the hockey season on a 17 week season or 17,000 hours during the hockey season.

Minor Hockey committee members man hours would average 400 hours per week on a 2S week season which is 10,000 hours during the hockey season.

THE FINANCIAL STORY

TOWN’S CONTRIBUTION TO MINOR HOCKEY

1. Five outdoor rinks are maintained and supplies with manpower.

2. Arena - charge to Minor Hockey $3 per hour. Nor- mally ice rentals average at $25 per hour.

3. Goalie equipment sup- plied by the town. Average of $3,500 per year.

4. Typing and Xerox cop- ies of schedule for coaches.

STEVE ZDRILL Equipment Manager

5. Take bookings from coaches for outdoor ice.

6. Pays for coaching and referee clinics.

KINSMEN SHARE OF FINANCES FOR MINOR HOCKEY

1. Ice rentals $3,000 per year average.

2. Equipment $4,000 per year for sweaters etc. This is in addition to monies collec ted from team sponsors.

3. Referees - pay all ref- eree costs $3,500 per year.

4. Insurance $900.

5. Miscellaneous $2,000

Registration fees from parents equal approximately $9,000 per year

In addition to the above the Kinsmen Club have spent $45,000 on the instal- plant in the arena and an additional $2,250 this year on a storage shed on the town property for

Costs vary from year to year and the total costs to the Kinsmen Club from 1970 - 1974 have been $11,000.

The average registration charge to a parent for a child to play hockey is $9 per season and we have a family rate of $25 per season to take the financial burden off large families.

Due to increased costs, the registration fees will have to be increased in the 1975 - 1976 hockey Season. At the present time these fees are one of the lowest in the province. Every effort -has been made by the Kinsmen, sponsors, and the town to maintain these low fees.

DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE

REFEREES

The St. Albert referees are 90% local hockey players, their pay is only nominal and unfortunately they receive unjustified abuse from par- ents, coaches, and players. There are approximately 25 referees in St. Albert and they referee the 1,000 approximate league and pl- ayoff games in this town plus another 600 exhibition games

This committee is set up to settle disputes, act on protests, and decide on all matters concerning a breach of the rules. Erling Winquist, Paul Matear, Al Findlay and Bruce Daley comprise this committee.

FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS ON ADDITION- AL FACILITIES

The present program whi- ch involves over 1,000 hockey players requires a new arena. With 72 teams, scheduling games is nearly impossible with 50% of the games and 90% of the practices completely depen-

dent on the weather since they have to be played outdoors, An adequate facil- ity would be a shell with artificial ice.

THE SUPPORT AND APT- ITUDE OF THE PARENTS IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROGRAM

He wants your support but the Minor Hockey Commit- tee requests you follow the 10 points made by the late Lloyd Pervical, fitness ex- pert!

1. Make sure your son knows that win or lose, you love him. Let him know that you appreciate his effort and that you won’t be disappoin- ted in him if he fails. Be the person in his life he can always look to for support.

2. Try to be completely honest with yourself about your son’s athletic capability, his competitive attitude, his sportsmanship, his level of skill.

3. Be helpful, but don’t coach your son on the way to the game or at the breakfast table. Think how tough it must be on him to be continually inundated with advice, pep talks and criti- cism.

4. Teach your son to enjoy the thrill of competition, to be ‘‘out there trying,”’ to be constantly working to im- prove his skills, to take the physical bumps and come back for more. Don’t tell him that winning doesn’t count, because it does and he knows it. Instead, help him to develop a healthy competi- tive attitude, a ‘‘feel’’ for competing, for trying hard for having a good time.

5. Try not to live your life through your son. You've lost as well as won, you've been frightened, you've ba- cked off at times, you've been the villain. Don’t expect

any better of him. Sure, he is an extension of you, but don’t assume he feels the same way you did, wants the same things or has the same attitude. Don’t push him in the direction that will give you the most satisfaction.

6. Don’t compete with your son’s coach. A coach may become a hero to him for a while, someone who can do no wrong, and you may find

AL FINDLAY Peewee Division Head

that hard to take. Or your son may become disenchanted with the coach. Don’t side with him against the coach. Talk to him about the impor- tance of learning how to handle problems and how to react to criticism. Try to help him understand the necessity for discipline, rules and regulations.

7. Don’t compare your son with the other players on his team -- at jeast not within his hearing. If he has a tendency

to resent the treatment he

gets from the coach, if he is jealous of the approval other players get, try to be honest with him. Don’t lie to him about his capabilities as a player. If you are overly protective, you will perpet- uate the problem.

8. Get to know your son’s coach. Make sure that you approve of his attitudes and ethics. A coach can be very influential, and you should know what his values are so that you can decide whether or not you want them passed on to your son.

9. Remember that child- ren tend to exaggerate, when they are praised and when they are criticized. Temper your reactions to the stories your son brings home from the rink. Don’t criticize him for exaggerating, but don’t over-react to the stories he tells you.

10. Teach your son the meaning of courage. Some of us can climb mountains but are frightened to get intoa fight. Some of us can fight without fear but turn to jelly at the sight of a bee. Everyoné is frightened of something. Courage isn’t the absence of fear. Courage is learning to perform in spite of fear. Courage isn’t getting rid of fear, it’s overcoming it.

IDEAS OF THE PUBLIC ARE INVITED MINOR HOCKEY’S FUTURE

We have formed a Special Minor Hockey Committee to

Should a province as rich as Alberta have such poorly staffed hospitals?

Alberta has just received an extra billion dollars in oil revenues. Yet some of the province's most needed workers are forced to live on poverty- level pay. Our hospital employees.

As aresult, Alberta hospitals are becoming dangerously short-staffed. Some are at only 65% capacity.

And your health services are suffering badly.

The provincial government is unwilling to pay hospital employees a living wage. So they simply cannot provide for their families. Or cope with inflation.

Consequently, they re leaving

Many go to B.C., where hospital pay rates are much fairer. A cleaner can make $300 a month more.

Alberta hospital workers want, and deserve, similar rates. They badly need an increase now.

But the province is holding back. Even though that extra money is in the treasury.

The government is being very unfair with hospital workers.

But they're also seriously jeopardizing your health care.

So we're asking you to support our campaign for fair treatment.

St. Albert UN peacekeeper glad to be back home

By Jim Melntyre

“If you're gonna be a peace keeper, you're gonna get a bloody nose and that's what happened to us.”

Those were the words of St. Albert's Bert Rajotte, 45, a Chief Warrant Officer with the Canadian Armed Forces and just returned from a stint in Cyprus with the Canadian contingent of the United Nations peace keeping force.

‘It's just like if you break a fight up on the street, you're going to get hurt,’’ added Sergeant Major Rajot- te, comfortably at home with his family and dog after spending eight months in war torn Cyprus as a regi- mental sergeant major with a regiment of the Canadian Airborne Division stationed at Namao.

St. Albert’s peace keeping resident is now on leave till January 22 after getting back to the homeland December 8. With all the memories, sad and joyful of the past summer on Cyprus, with its plush hotels - good food and a spot of peacekeeping thrown in, it'll be a question of getting back into the routine of things with para exercises in the American deserts and Canadian Arctic.

‘*But it’s a good life,’’ said Sgt. Major Rajotte, glad to be back in his home part of the woods.

Just before the fighting broke out in Cyprus last July, with the Greek coup followed by the Turkish invasion from the North, it looked as

though the Rajotte family would have precious little to worry about.

Sgt. Major Rajotte’s wife Mary Ellen even spent a little time on the beautiful island swimming and sunbathing with her husband before hostilities commenced and it was time for the evacuation of the dependents.

But Sgt. Major Rajotte pointed out that it is not easy on the family - he has five children, two still at home, and they worry about him while he is away.

Sgt. Major Rajotte said he was Stationed at the Wolse- ley barracks in Nicosia - right in the middle of Cyprus, just south of where the Turks landed in their July invasion.

He said that at first he didn’t think the invasion (of the Turks) was going to happen, but the Greek coup changed all that as Greek tanks began rolling into the capital, stationing themsel- ves at strategic points.

‘*We had a grandstand seat and could see the airstrikes coming in,’’ said Sgt. Major Rajotte, as he recalled the invasion and also how himself and a comman- ding officer went up to Greek tanks in the capital at the time of the coup asking, ‘‘What the heck’s going on?”’

The Greeks replied, as their shells still pounded into the police station, ‘‘There’s been a coup and Makarios is dead.’’ The Greeks seemed jubilant at their take over.

Sgt. Major Rajotte said at one point his commanding officer's rifle was snatched from him by one of the Greek soldiers, but the rifle was returned after he demanded that he should have it back. They were told that if they wanted to see anybody about what was going on, *‘See the boss in the police station.’’

Sgt. Major Rajotte said that if the peacekeeping force had not been present backed up as it was with the Canadian Armed Forces’ professionalism, there might well have been a blood bath in Nicosia. That capital's northern half is populated by Turks, the other part by Greeks, with a smattering of both peoples throughout.

The Canadian contingent of the peacekeeping force was at one time caught between two fires from Greek and Turkish mortars and the company office and vehicles received direct hits.

**Fire,’’ said Sgt. Major Rajotte, ‘‘sometimes got too intense on the green line, which separated Greek and Turkish shops in Nicosia, and we'd have to move back if there was a cease-fire.”’

He said that while he was in Nicosia two young Cana- dian soldiers were killed while on patrol; one was shot through the head and the other received two rounds of machine gun fire right through the chest and heart. Eighteen others were woun- ded and many of these soldiers were only between ages 18-21.

Sgt. Major Rajotte singled out the young members of the Canadian contingent of the UN peacekeeping force for special mention. ‘It was satisfying to see their disci- pline and self restraint,”’ pointing out that some of them had just taken their para-training at Griesbach.

Sgt. Major Rajotte said that sometimes the Canad- ians talked to Turkish and Greek people, civilian as well as military. ‘We'd try to get them to agree and they were very friendly people.’’ Once Sgt. Rajotte said, we sawa Greek and a Turk shake hands and give parcels.

He pointed out that the period he enjoyed with his wife in Cyprus was short-liv- ed. Soon 80 Canadian Armed Forces wives were on board a ‘Herc’ July 18 and Nicosia

Once the Turks moved into the island there was no freedom of movement within the Turkish sector, he added.

One of the major concerns as the fighting increased was

the Ledra Palace Hotel where ’

many tourists and journalists were staying, but which was also a highly prized strategic point. The peacekeeping force decided that the best way to solve the problem and look after the people was to move in. As the violence died down towards the Fall, the hotel was the scene of talks between Turkish and Greek politicians.

Federal provincial confrontation likely on airport

By Jim McIntyre

A confrontation seems likely between the provincial and federal governments on the site of a proposed airport

near Villeneuve in the MD of Sturgeon.

Reeve of the MD Bill Flynn, reviewing the pros- pects for the MD in 1975 said

that he hoped the airport at the Villeneuve site would be finally approved by the pro- vincial department of the Environment as it would

bring more jobs to the MD and also increase the tax base.

The airport site has al-

Federal Department of Tr- ansport and will be used to take pressure off the Ed- monton Industrial airport. Light planes will be the main

Heres good news... for CPP contributors—their surviving spouses and dependent children

ready been bought by the

Recent changes to the Canada Pension Plan will result in substantially increased benefits for 1975 and subsequent years. There are other important changes, too. Some affect people over 65 or approaching that age. Others provide equality for the spouses. and dependent children of male and female contributors. These changes may require prompt action or getting

advice. So we suggest you read this message very carefully.

Retirement Pensions Have you contributed to the Plan @ at any time since January 11966?

Are you between 65 and 69?

Then you have achoice ...

Apply now and start receiving your monthly CPP retirement pension. No more need to retire to collect benefits. (Once you start receiving your pension, however, you can't make further contributions to the Plan.)

OR

Continue to contribute to the CPP and possibly build up a larger retirement pension to commence at a later date. Continuing to contribute is also a way to qualify survivors for benefits if you have not already done so. (When approaching age 70, you should consider applying for your retirement pension because after 70 you may no longer contribute to the Canada Pension Plan.)

NOTE: Before making your choice you may wish to seek advice from the nearest CPP office. The staff will be pleased to help you.

Are you approaching age 65?

If you have made your choice and want your CPP retirement pension to commence as early as possible, you should apply two or three months before your 65th birthday.

NOTE: There is no provision for retroactive payment of retirement pensions between the ages of 65 and 69. So if you re in that age group or approaching it, get advice as soon as possible.

Do you now receive a CPP retirement pension?

As of January 1st, 1975, your pension will no longer be affected by any money you earn thereafter.

Other Changes: , The earnings ceiling—that is, the maximum amount on which contributions can be paid and on which benefits

can be calculated—is being raised to $7400 in 1975 and to $8300 in 1976. The initial amount of earnings, on which you are not required to contribute, will be $700 in 1975

Equal Protection for Males and Females.

This means that for female contributors, in addition to being eligible for a retirement pension and disability protection for themselves, and a death benefit payable to their estates, as has been the case in the past, their spouses and dependent children are now eligible for benefits as follows:

Benefits for Surviving Spouses

A monthly pension payable to the widower who at the time of the death of the contributor is over 35 years of age, or under 35 years of age but is disabled or has dependent children; that is, a benefit similar to that which has always existed

for widows.

Benefits for Orphans

A monthly benefit payable to unmarried dependent children under 18 and to unmarried dependent children between 18 and 25 attending school or university on a full-time basis.

In order for survivors to qualify, the contributor must have died in January 1968 or later and must have contributed for the minimum contributory period, which is three years for deaths occurring before January 1, 1975.

Benefits for Children of Disabled Contributors

A monthly benefit payable to unmarried dependent children under 18 and to unmarried dependent children between 18 and 25 attending school or university on a full-time basis, where the contributor concerned is in receipt of a CPP Disability Pension.

NOTE: In all cases, it is necessary to make application for benefits. If such applications are approved, payments can only be made currently —that is, from January 1, 1975. No payment can be made for any period prior to that date.

users of the proposed airport which is located near Villen- euve,

Mr. Flynn said that the Department of the Environ- ment has gone into an investigation of the potential of the airport site for food and agriculture, part of the activities of the Land Use Forum. However he pointed out that although the site covers several sections only a half section would be taken away from agricultural use.

Mr. Flynn also said that he would rather see the land in question used for an airport than gravel extraction or coal mining.

The site for the proposed airport has also been appro- ved by the Edmonton Re- gional Planning Commission and Mr. Flynn said that he does not know why the Department of the Environ- ment iS now witholding approval,

He pointed out that there could be spin off in light industry if the airport went ahead though there would be the complication of putting in new transportation systems he added.

Giving an overview on other matters in the MD this coming year Mr. Flynn said that the MD would be hold- ing an early meeting this month to set their priorities. Top among these are an effort to see an expansion in the water and sewer systems for the municipality, particu- larly for Gibbons and also Morinville which is becoming increasingly short of water as the town expands. Mr. Flynn said that he hoped Gibbons would eventually connect with the North East water- line.

Mr. Flynn also pointed out that he would also like Morinville to join the water- line, though this could again be stymied by the provincial Department of the Environ- ment. Mr. Flynn claimed that the cause for this was that Morinville was not large enough to allow for the large amounts of money which would have to be borrowed; the Department of the En- vironment might therefore suggest an alternate expan- sion to the present, Mr. Flynn added.

He said that when the MD holds its special meeting a number of things will be proposed. First would be an attempt to improve the tax base with the promotion of industry in the MD; second there would be an effort to plump for a regional system of sewer and water lines, as well as transportation.

He stated that he hoped the MD would come up with enough goodies to bring the services to the ratepayers they desire. However he said that if costs spiral the MD would have to decrease services to residents ‘‘be- cause we do not see an increase in the mill rate,"

Finally Mr. Flynn said that the MD will continue its efforts to tie in 16 residents in one corner of the MD into the proposed Edmonton - St. Albert waterline. He said that this task would have to be approached by going through the Public Utilities Board,

A previous attempt to solve the problem with the Local Authorities Board had not succeeded because that Board claimed it was not the proper body to deal with such a matter

THANK YOU

THANK YOU FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS

It is just not possible for me to find the words fit to express my thanks to all those many friends and neighbours who, at the time of sorrow and helplessness due to the tragic and so sudden loss of my dear husband Heini (Heinrich) Eichner, have comforted me and my five children in such a beautiful way.

Everybody has been so wonderful in showing us how deeply they really cared for my husband, and this has helped to ease our pain.

At such times of grief it is a relief to be surrounded by people who honestly care.

Due to the great turnout of people who came from Gibbons, St. Albert and Edmonton to the funeral, there was a parking problem, and I am sorry to hear that for this reason some of our dear friends had to miss part or all ot the service, which was held at Foster McGarvey, Edmonton. I am very sorry for that.

Even though my husband was a humble and modest man, his deep-rooted philosophy and his special talent has made him friends all over the world wherever he went. He was the man who, if anyone would step on his toe, would apologize for having had his foot there in the first place.

The memorial service was done very tastefully and my husband's favourite tune **‘Almighty God We Praise Thy Strength’ was played on the organ. This was the special song he himself used to sing and play on his antique foot organ whenever he was full of happiness. The verse is praising the strength and power of God and is an ave towards his creation and majesty. The entire ceremony was beautifully done and every part of it, and the exceptional sermon of the Reverend R. Brownlie made one feel as if he had known my husband a long time.

In his poetry he spoke of the wide skies and the great mountains, capturing the atmosphere of a world in which my husband lived all through his dreams. Now his dreams are close to coming through, but only for those he left behind. He had worked hard and without pause to secure this family a piece of land up in the Columbia mountains. A mountain stream with trout flows swiftly down our valley, and it is too bad that my husband did not live long enough to enjoy the fruits of his life with us. He has sacrificed a lot for us throughout his life, in order to realize this particular dream.

Just seven months before this fulfillment he has lost his life in a traffic accident, but his remains will go with us so we can put him to rest in the soil that he had chosen to live on.

When the time comes for us to move to the hills it will not be easy to part from the many wonderful friends we have found here. I know we will miss them and remember everyone in our hearts.

Again, | will repeat my thanks to all our friends. It was a great relief the way you all looked after us, and the list would be endless to name you all here. Also my thanks for all flowers and cards and a special appreciation for the donations made to ‘‘Amnesty International Canada, an organization not quite well known yet, and many people have asked about its w ork and purpose,

accident on December 17, at the age of 52 years. He is survived by his wife Edith, two sons, Herbie and Mat- hew; three daughters, Bar- bara, Gabriel and Susan, all at home; and his mother, Mrs. Ida Eichner in Germany

Mr. Eichner, a well known Alberta sculptor, was born in Schweidnitz, Schlesien in East Germany on March 13, 1922, and came to Canada with his wife and family in 1959. They made their home in Edmonton prior to moving to Gibbons about three years ago. He worked at various jobs in order to support his family but his lifelong interest was in sculpture and he had works commissioned for a number of public buildings in Edmonton. Pos- sibly the best known is the Zodiac in the Queen Eliza- beth Planetarium. He also did the outdoor metal sculp- tures at St. Andrew’s Church in Jasper Place and the three-storey mural at Royal Alex Place. At the time of his death he was working as a carpenter for Cana Con- struction.

Heinie, as he was known to a host of friends, was the mainstay behind Eichner Art Studio in Gibbons, which involved his wife Edith, an artist mainly interested in painting, who also did sculptures and his two sons and three daughters. He was interested in folk art in many forms and this interest also was transmitted to his family, so that products of the Eichner Studio reflected the contributions of all.

His untimely death came at a time when he was setting up a stone mosaic business with his two sons, aged 18 and 19 years, with the intention of making tables and other furniture.

His family will carry on with plans to move to a mountain property in B.C., and it is there that the remains of Heinrich Eichner will find their final resting place.

Calahoo WI meeting draws good turnout

By Liz McLeod

The Calahoo Women's Institute met in the form of a Christmas party, held in the Calahoo Church basement December 16, starting with a delicious turkey supper.

All members, except Mrs. F. Lischewski, were present as well as most of the husbands and seven children who immensely enjoyed to- getherness and that card game which is always a source of fun and laughter.

Russell and Hazel Brown from Edmonton brought their mother, Mrs. F. Mad- eline Brown now living in St. Albert, to this family affair.

Never

We were also pleased to have a former neighbor, now living in Onoway, Mrs. Alice Warren.

Following supper a short meeting was held, with vice president Mrs. V. Berry in the chair. Following ‘‘The Creed,’’ minutes and treas- ure’s report, a discussion was held on what to do about this history of the district and when should we get this material to the printers.

It was decided to hold a meeting in January and decide when and where. So to those of you who are planning to send your contri- bution to this book, (and we

a dull

moment

By Liz McLeod

There is never a dull moment in Calahoo. Another successful venture was real- ized Saturday, Dec. 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. when the West Sturgeon Ag. Society joined forces with the Calahoo Sports Association in plann- ing and preparing a Child- ren's Christmas party in the Calahoo Arena.

It was so heartwarming to see so many happy young- sters enjoying the treats and the films. These were, ‘‘The Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly,"’ ‘‘John goes Lumber- ing’’ and ‘‘The Beaver Dam.”

After this, Erwin Roth- weiller and Sharon Anderson (who is visiting with her mother Fiete and cousin Elaine Quintal Majeau sang Christmas carols and hymns with the parents and children joining in.

Incidentally anyone may acquire a film or films from the National Film Board for use at their meetings, all you need is to get a projector, which Richard Finnigan loa- ned for this afternoon.

After all this beautiful music and singing the treat of treats was in store when Santa and Mrs. Claus came

in to hand out the stockings filled with treats and a toy for the 86 children present. Then eight more were taken to children who were unable to attend this wonderful party.

Certainly a big vote of thanks must go to everyone who planned and worked long hours so that this afternoon could become a reality. Thanks also go to the mom's and dad’s who brought their children, be- cause it was a thrill for them too, to watch those beaming faces. The prettily decorated Christmas tree added that perfect touch.

This really was the day Dec. 14 to cater to young Canada because after this wonderful afternoon, the teen group of Calahoo held their dance in the Calahoo Arena in the evening. The event proved that teen-agers are a very fine group of people, because they were having a wonderful time, very orderly, and with good music.

Over 200 young people attended the occasion with a concession booth open for their benefit.

Emile, Jake and Marcel chaperoned and allin alla grand time was had by all.

Mrs. D. Aline Roddick won the door prize, a Christmas corsage, and it was nice to have her husband David among us. He is using crut- ches now that his leg is in a cast.

We also gave a fellow member, Mrs. Margaret Douglas, a hearty vote of thanks for her contribution to this party which was enjoyed by all present.

Let us welcome our newest member, Mrs. F. Isabel Wheatley, a newcomer to the district who was unable to be present, but whose name was put into the hat to draw for next year's secret pals, because this practice is enjoyed by all the members.

Gifts were opened and to our surprise our pal wasn't the one we thought we knew from the handwriting.

Legal CWL

By Mary Kachurowski

The St. Emile’s CWL of Legal held their regular meeting at the Rectory on Dec. 16 with 10 members present. The meeting opened with a prayer led by Father Bissonnette. Spiritual read- ing was done by Mary Quaghebeur. Secretary trea- surer, Claire Yvonne Keanne read the minutes and pre- sented the financial report.

Mary Kachurowski pre- sented the study program for this month, entitled ‘‘The Benefit of Faith.’’ A most interesting discussion foll- owed. We find these study programs very helpful and inspiring both morally and spiritually.

President, Madeline Cor- nelis, thanked the members for helping to sell the Religious Calendars. She also thanked all the ladies who attended the Christmas party at Vimy. It was a very nice get-together, thoroughly enjoyed by all; and our thanks go to the Vimy CWL Council for their wonderful hospitality.

Madline then presented Father Bissonnette with a

gift on behalf of all the CWL members, as a token of appreciation for his thought- fulness and kindness. Father Bissonnette expressed his heartfelt thanks and wished everyone a very Merry Christmas and that Christ be the centre of our lives.

The secretary read the correspondence, which in- cluded a Christmas message from Mona McGregor, pre- sident of the St. Paul Diocese, and a letter from the Sacred Heart Program asking for prayerful, moral and financial report.

It was decided that we continue to donate to the Sacred Heart program.

There was also a letter from the Children’s Mission Stamp Bureau, requesting used postage stamps. St- amps, that would otherwise be thrown out, can be used to build a hospital or equip an operating room. So save all your stamps and help a worthy cause.

Meeting closed with a prayer.

On behalf of all the CWL members, a Happy New Year to all.

‘After some 16 years of service as secretary of the Seed Cleaning Plant, Jim has come to the conclusion that with a new plant planned for next year, the project is too dig for one getting up in years, and the secretary's job should go to a younger man,’’ said Mr. McDonell. “It is a pleasure to recognize many years of dedicated service by Mr. Sharp to this municipality, and behind every man’s success is a good womapr - | would like to ask Jim and Marie to come forward.”’

Mr. Sharp was presented with a digital clock radio and it clearly came as a surprise to him. ‘I sure didn’t know anything about this,’’ he said, ‘‘and we thank you most sincerely - we are not leaving unannounced, so to speak. If I were to single out just one man, over my years connected with the MD it would be Alphonse Nobert - for what he knew and how he helped - right on!"’
