Smoke Smothered St. Albert Yesterday
Elke Blodgett of the city wrote, "Smoke is in the air today." That was sure the case when she captured this image early yesterday morning:
Hi Don,
Most every Friday in summer and early fall, I spend several hours weeding or washing produce fresh from the field on my friend's Certified Organic farm just past Opal! It is a great stress reliever, peaceful, fresh air, bird songs, etc. etc.
Yesterday was very smoky, on a scale of 1 - 10 it was an eight, hence the attached photo of the 1KM to Bon Accord sign.

Congrats on being able to work in that stuff, that took some muster to accomplish.
By mid afternoon, the air had cleared somewhat over the downtown core.

City Manager's Capital Growth Fund
Wrong Strategy For City Of St. Albert
Hi Don:
The capital growth fund just approved by Council has significant ramifications for taxpayers. I think it is the wrong direction for the city to go and I've outlined why below.
Lynda Flannery
St. Albert
City Manager Patrick Draper’s proposal to use the City’s financial reserves to finance non-essential, “nice to have” projects like the $14 million Heritage Park project, the $16 million Community Support Centre or part of the $187 million DARP projects is just another way of increasing residential taxes to finance projects of questionable value.
The money contained in the City’s reserves are supposed to be restricted to being spent on particular types of projects, such as utilities. Over the years, St. Albert taxpayers have paid unnecessarily high taxes and utility rates to build up these reserves. Now, City Administration and Council wants to borrow money from these reserves to fund their “nice to have” projects.
The problem with this idea is that the money the City is borrowing from its reserves will eventually have to be paid back so that the reserves are rebuilt. An additional 2.6% tax increase per year over 20 years will be required from taxpayers’ pockets. That means St. Albert taxpayers will have been overtaxed once to build up these reserves, and then overtaxed again to pay back the City’s borrowing!
And it means we can look forward to tax increases in 5.5-6% range assuming the recent 3-3.5% tax increases are maintained as a base increase. If the city goes forward with this, it is even more reason for Councillor MacKay's 1.5% base tax increase proposal to be put in place.
Currently, the “capital pool”, or the amount of money Administration can spend without needing Council’s approval, is tied to the budget at 12.4%. If Council wants to borrow money for particular projects, it has to publicly acknowledge this by passing borrowing bylaws. However, Draper’s proposal would side step this process. It would spare Council from having to do the hard work of making tough political decisions to increase city debt levels and tax rates.
Draper’s “new” idea is just a way of getting more money to finance projects that a bedroom community the size of St. Albert has no business even thinking about. Instead of supporting this idea, Council would serve the public better by gathering the courage to oppose this. If the City is going to have money in reserves, then shouldn’t we only be using that money for the original purposes it was intended for?
Better yet, stop overtaxing the public to build these reserves. The transparency of special large projects requiring higher than normal tax increases over several years or debt financing is far preferable.

In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, "Yes, I have your name here; You want to see the doctor about impotence, right?"
All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at the very embarrassed man. He recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, 'No, I've come to inquire about a sex change operation, but I don't want the same doctor that did yours.'
The room erupted in applause.

Did St. Albert's City Manager's Salary Jump $100,000 In 10 Years?
Did Former City Manager Get Over $400,000 Total Severance Package?
It certainly appears to be so . . .
Hi Don;
Great talking to you the other day.
Here is the number for former city manager Bill Holtby’s severance - $402,263 this is on line #70 – do you think it is enough?
You will see the City Manager in 2002 got $149,088 now the new City Manager gets $250,000 – a super increase over 10 years.
We should only be so lucky! Ha!
Gord Henninger
St. Albert
SINC SAYS:
Wow Gord, that total package is $651,047 on line 70, but what do you expect? This is after all the gold standard for St. Albert. The city manager's salary has risen about $10,000 per year, every year for 10 years in a row! Who would be that brain-dead to authorize it? Oh wait, this is city council's work. Now I get it. Although I suppose it is a bargain compared to over a million bucks for a $tarbuck$ outlet at $ervu$ Place.

Neil Van Dijjk (Guitar and bass)
Neil - A true soul brother who came to us from Winnipeg and a best friend of mine since he moved here in the mid seventies. Neil and I met in school and the first time we met we started talking about getting together to play music with a couple of other school buds I had been jamming with during school lunch hours. Neil quickly became one of the biggest influences on my music career. We played music anytime we had a chance and a room to play in. Neil's tastes and influences brought us ideas and a new feel that really developed over the years into a sort of free wheeling jammin' bluesy, funky, rock style sound especially when we teamed up with our old mate guitarist Dale Collins who was indulging in and introduced us to The James Gang with Joe Walsh in the mid seventies. We never got a lot of gigs with that style, but did a few school gigs and house gigs to the delight of friends and fans. Neil is is an accomplished guitarist and taught guitar for years in St. Albert. Also a great songwriter and dabbles regularly in recording his own stuff doing all the tracks himself. Nick named Jud Alla by my mom put a stamp on Neil being part of our family. I have asked Neil to open the night with some guitarin' and maybe a little singing and a sort of around the fire style set. Happy to have Neil back as our featured guest for the night and a chance for all to see the other side of his talents away from the bass guitar until late in the evening when he will take over bass duties from Big Daddy.

Maple Flag At Cold Lake - Photos By James
A St. Albert's Place regular reader was recently at Cold Lake to take in the annual Maple Flag event. He wishes to be know simply as 'James', but has an obvious skill with a camera and sent us a series of photographs of various aircraft. We are presenting them a couple at a time in an ongoing series. They should be of interest to many of our military family readers as well as aviation buffs.
