in Strathmore &
Wheatland County An investigation is underway following
(as of August 31, 2020) allegations of misconduct by Strathmore
RCMP during a recent traffic stop.

4 Active | 82 Recovered Aug. 21, when a vehicle operated by
2 Deaths a 25-year-old male was pulled over by
Strathmore RCMP, according to a gov-
ernment of Alberta news release. It is re-
ported the driver was arrested, taken into
custody, charged with uttering threats,
obstruction of a peace officer and resist-
ing arrest. He was released the next day.
Also in the stopped vehicle was the
driver’s mother, Lurleen Hilliard, a
51-year-old Strathmore resident. Hilliard
alleges, through a Aug. 22 video posted
to Facebook Live, that during the traffic
stop, her son was unnecessarily and re-
peatedly tasered, and that both she and
her son were subjected to unnecessary
use of force and injured as a result.
“My son was on the ground, with four
RCMP officers on his back,” said Hilliard
in the video. “They were beating him.
They were tasing him.”

Siksika working to confront crime

SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Siksika Nation is developing new plans to ad-
dress crime, including the establishment of a com-
munity peace officer program.
Councillor Reuben “Buck” Breaker, chair of the
chief and council public safety community rela-
tions task force at Siksika, held a Facebook Live
address on Aug. 26, to discuss topics and address
questions regarding crime and enforcement. Staff
Sgt. Tim Kelly of the Gleichen RCMP and Siksika
Nation Councillor Susan Solway also took part.
Siksika Nation has developed a strategic plan to
address public safety, explained Breaker.
The first stage of the plan was conducting an
assessment. Then, the second stage was to expand
Siksika’s security, such that it is now active 24/7.
However, security personnel cannot enforce by-
laws, such as Siksika’s mandatory curfew bylaw,
and instead work to support efforts by the RCMP.
The third stage of the plan, which is being de-
veloped, is for Siksika to have its own peace of-
ficers that can enforce bylaws passed by its chief
and council.
“We’re working with an agency to provide train-
ing for members, and once they get that training,
they will be authorized to enforce bylaws,” said
Breaker.
Tribal police would also be permitted to en-
force provincial statues, such as those relating to
speeding and vehicle registration, along provin-
cial roadways as well, added Kelly.
During the address, community members sug-
gested that stations should be posted at entry
points to stop criminals coming from outside Sik-
sika. However, enforcing the borders at Siksika
sues and its size.
“I think we’ve counted over 20 entrance points
– I think 24 – all over the nation, with three ma-
jor highways that run through the nation,” said
Breaker.
He highlighted the importance of community
involvement in watching for and documenting
suspicious activity. A citizen crime watch program
is also being developed, which will provide sys-
tems to ensure the anonymity of people providing
tips or observations regarding crime or suspicious
activity.
In the meantime, residents with complaints can
call dispatch (the Operational Communication
Centre), which uses an encrypted radio frequency,
to reach RCMP members.
“If you’re still worried about (anonymity), just
tell them you don’t want your name broadcasted
and that you want to talk to a policeman,” said
Kelly.
The more information provided about suspi-
cious activity, the better, said Kelly. License plate
number, description of the vehicle, description of
the person, and the time and place they were seen
are all important.
There are also plans being developed to restart
Siksika’s Community Consultative Group (CCG),
which is a group of community members, includ-
ing elders and youth, to work as a liaison between
Siksika Nation and the RCMP. The CCG is provid-
ed for under the Community Tripartite Agreement,
which is the agreement between the First Nation,
RCMP and government for the provision of police
services.
“The plan is having more community input in a
lot of these ideas moving forward,” said Breaker.

Tax changes could squeeze municipalities
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
While proposed changes to the tax assessment model for
oil and gas infrastructure could be a big blow to the county,
locally operating producers say change is needed for the
industry to survive.
Unlike residential properties that are assessed based on
market values, “linear” designated industrial properties, in-
cluding wells and pipelines, are assessed through an equa-
tion that considers several factors, such as base costs, de-
preciation, production (for wells) and land value. The
government of Alberta has reviewed this model for oil and
gas developments, reported as an effort to enhance industry
competitiveness.
The review yielded four scenarios (A to D), which are sets
of proposed changes to the assessment model, with each
resulting in different impacts to municipalities and industry
stakeholders. The scenarios differ by such factors as to how
base costs are treated and how depreciation is calculated.
Also, some of the models include breaks for certain types
of infrastructure (scenario C applies an adjustment factor to
SAGD wells and to pipelines with a diameter greater than 10
inches, for example).
If adopted, each scenario has a different impact on in-
dustry (through changes to owed assessment amounts) and
municipalities (through altered tax revenue).
According to the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA), an
independent organization comprising Alberta’s 69 counties
and municipal districts, all four scenarios reduce the overall
assessment values of properties across the province, ranging
from seven per cent (scenario A) to 20 per cent (scenario D).
While some municipalities could gain tax revenue under
certain scenarios, for most, the change would mean a loss
of revenue – and for some, drastically so. Under scenario D,
the scenario reported to be the one largely favoured by the
oil and gas industry, the average rural municipality will lose
over 12 per cent of its revenues in 2021, and 10 municipali-
ties will lose over 20 per cent of their revenue.
These projected losses are for the first year of adoption
only, as no multi-year analysis was provided by the province,
according to the RMA.
The RMA has been vocal against the changes.
“By attempting to use the assessment system to enhance
industry competitiveness, the 2020 review and subsequent
changes to how these regulated properties are assessed has
compromised the objectivity of the regulated assessment
model, and will result in serious fiscal impacts to munici-
palities, while actually compromising the competitiveness of
many small oil and gas companies,” according to a RMA po-
sition statement.
While Wheatland County did not provide an estimate as
to how much it is poised to lose in tax revenue should the
changes be adopted, the proposed changes are “frustrating,”
said Division 1 Councillor Jason Wilson.
“Over the last three years, we’ve done a good job of try-
ing not to let the current economic downturn and increased
service costs affect our rent,” he said. “We’ve looked at the
budget over and over again.”
In doing so, the county has “cut the extra fat off the bud-
get” and delayed capital projects.
The changes would not leave many options on the table,
added Wilson. “Right now, we’re running as fiscally respon-
sible as we can – we don’t have a lot of other choices right
now other than taxation.
“Municipalities like us are looking at a 200 to 300 per cent
rate increase to make up for that (lost revenue).”

Residents concerned
over EarthRenew restart
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
A group of county residents are mak-
ing a big stink about a company look-
ing to produce organic fertilizer by
heating cow manure at a plant north of
Strathmore.
EarthRenew Strathmore Inc. operates
a four-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired
power plant located on the Cattleland
Feedyards, to the northwest of the in-
tersection between Highways 564 and
817, approximately 10 kilometres north
of Strathmore.
But the company’s main claim-to-
fame is not power generation, but
rather holding a patented process for
generating cured, concentrated, organ-
ic fertilizer produced from manure, by
using excess heat from its gas turbine.
However, while its facility was commis-
sioned in 2007, production operations
ceased in 2010 because “some of the
original engineer and design features
made it uneconomical to continue,”
said Brenna Barlow, project manager
with EarthRenew, in an email.
The company has been under new
ownership and management since 2016,
despite its name being unchanged, she
added.
When active, part of the power gen-
erated by the plant can be used to drive
the waste-to-fertilizer process. But
since fertilizer production stopped, the
power plant has operated only inter-
mittently, when prices for power were
sufficient to make generating electricity
cost-feasible, according to a 2018 Ca-
nadians Securities Exchange Form 2A
listing statement. The generated power
is sold into the grid or to Cattleland for
its operations, or is used to generate
cryptocurrency using on-site mining
rigs (computer systems used to gener-
ate cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin). Ac-
cording to a Feb. 1, 2019, EarthRenew
news release, electricity production
at the facility was to restart by March
2019.
EarthRenew is looking to resume
fertilizer production operations, albeit
using a redesigned facility. A May 19,
2020, news release from the company
stated that “front-end” engineering and

design plans have been completed on
this facility redesign.
“We have taken the best of the tech-
nology originally developed and com-
bined it with new processes that are
more efficient,” said Barlow.
The company is now seeking the
necessary regulatory approvals to re-
start operations. EarthRenew’s current
approval by Alberta Environment and
Parks (AEP) under the Environmen-
tal Protection and Enhancement Act
(EPEA), which was originally issued
on Nov. 27, 2009 and subsequently ex-
tended, expires on Oct. 31, 2020. The
company is now seeking to renew its
EPEA approval, as per a public notice
that appeared in the July 24 issue of the
Strathmore Times.
The notice garnered a response from
landowners living around the plant, in
part because they allege that while the
plant was in operation, it caused nui-
sance odours that were so severe they
made being outside intolerable and
caused health impacts, in some cases.
A group of about 25 individuals met to
discuss the issue on the evening of Aug.
26.
“If they were operating, you couldn’t
go out of our house,” said Jan Phillips.
“You couldn’t keep your windows open
(and) couldn’t open the door. I don’t
want to relive that nightmare.”
“It was absolutely disgusting,” added
Ryan Forsyth. “You’d go outside and
you would be just like, ‘yeah, we’re not
having a fire tonight – we’re not doing
anything.’”
“The big problem was air quality
when that thing ran,” said Roger Deed.
“You couldn’t be around if there was a
northeast wind when it was running –
I’d be physically ill.”
The odour issue will be addressed
with new equipment, said Barlow.
“We are currently designing a comple-
ment of odour reduction systems that
includes stack scrubbers as well as an
overall emissions management system.”
The company is required to conduct
air and odour dispersion modelling,
which will occur during the second
stage of start-up. The company also ex-
pects stack testing to be conducted on
Early Bird Air Ltd.

WAA plans 2020-21 season
JANET KANTERS
Times Editor
The Wheatland Athletic Association (WAA) is gearing up
for 2020-21 hockey, and although things will run a bit dif-
ferently, players will be taking to the ice this season.
WAA tryouts are underway right now, with U13 (peewee),
U15 (bantam) and U18 (midget) players taking to the ice
at the Strathmore Family Centre Arena, hoping to secure a
spot.
According to Doug Raycroft, WAA president, once the try-
outs are done, there will be a development stage of the
season, and then in late October and early November, the
leagues will be able to have some competition.
“There’s a plan in place, and for Wheatland AA, we just
want to make sure that we’re following the guidelines the
best we can while still giving all of the kids in our area a
chance to tryout,” said Raycroft,’ who added actual games
will take place “contingent on whether AHS (Alberta Health
Services) says it can happen.”
To that end, Hockey Alberta has come out with some
guidelines to ensure safety for all the players and hockey
staff. In addition, on Aug. 24, Hockey Alberta updated its
Return to Hockey Plan which includes a new component:
modified competition season. According to Hockey Alberta,
the goal of the Return to Hockey Plan and its update is to
provide associations/ teams with an opportunity to finalize
any tryouts/evaluations, register rosters and prepare for an
eventual return to the regular season, when permitted.
“The health and safety of all participants in the sport is
of paramount importance in all activities outlined in the
Return to Hockey Plan,” stated Hockey Alberta in a news
release. “The threats and challenges posed by COVID-19
require specific steps to be taken to allow hockey back on
the ice, and this plan addresses those requirements.”
The Return to Hockey Plan – including the timelines in-
cluded within it – is subject to change, as new guidelines
and requirements are put in place by the government of
Alberta (access the full Return to Hockey Plan document at,
https://www.hockeyalberta.ca/members/return-hockey/).
As for the WAA, Raycroft said the start to the season has
been very challenging for all the groups in the way infor-
mation is communicated so that everyone knows what’s go-
EarthRenew causes concern
Continued from Page 7
But there is also concern from residents regarding the im-
pacts of EarthRenew on local groundwater.
The company has filed for a Water Act license to divert
up to 2,124.74 cubic metres of groundwater annually, at a
maximum rate of 60 litres per minute, as per a public notice
in the Aug. 16, 2019, edition of the Strathmore Times. The
screened interval, where the well is open to the surround-
ing aquifer, is 62.2 to 68.3 metres below ground, as per the
notice. The company has not yet been granted approval,
said Barlow.
“We use our water to live,” said resident Don Gordon.
“They’re not using it to live – they’re using it for greed and
to make money.”
If less groundwater becomes available, there will be a cost
of not only buying extra water, but also of buying and in-
stalling holding tanks, added Gordon.
A petition against the restart of fertilizer production op-
erations at the plant has received more than 160 signatures,
said Berle Hebbes, who started the petition. Once complete,
