Clearview School Board budget to be posted on website for public feedback Brenda Schimke

ECA Reporter

“We’re a service-based industry with 90 per cent of our budget designated to staffing. We’re not going to balance the books on paper clips,” was a comment made by one of trustees at their regular board meeting on April 16. A final draft of the Spring Projection Budget will be approved at the April 23 meeting. The budget will be posted on Clearview’s website from April 30, 2013 to May 10, 2013 for public feedback.

Administrative cuts

The first draft presented at the April 16 meeting clawed back $92,000 from centralized services, board expenses and district office budgets. The cuts were achieved by delaying purchases of equipment, cutting professional development, deleting some Information Technology (IT) initiatives and forgoing one position at central office.

Transportation

The district has not been charging schools full price for fuel used on extracurricular bus trips. Under the proposed budget, this fee will increase from $0.75 per kilometre to $1.10. A $200 annual busing fee will be applied

Middle school modernization

Trustees will be asked to approve a final capital submission for Stettler Middle School’s modernization at their first meeting in May. Although a gym was a high priority, the Department of Education will not consider that request. Adding a gym moves it from a modernization project, with a high chance of approval, into a new building pr oj ec t w i t h l i t t l e or n o c h a n c e of a ppr ov a l . The board will consider three options: changing the configuration of the Stettler schools from three to two school buildings; modernizing the current middle school only; or some modifications to both the Middle and Elementary Schools.

Joint projects

The Government is very keen on jointlyfunded projects. They have often

expressed how pleased they were that the Town of Stettler and Clearview School District built a joint administration building. It was suggested a gym at the Middle School could be looked at more favourably by the Department of Education if it were not owned by the School District but was a joint venture with the school district, Stettler County and the Town of Stettler.

to Catholic riders on Clearview buses, who are outside the 4 x 4 designated area and classified as “school of choice”. This fee is government-sanctioned and will affect approximately 50 students. A more sophisticated budgeting tool for calculating driver costs and transportation costs, than previously used, freed up budget dollars to enables Clearview to keep all current school bus routes in place.

Student ridership

The Department of Education requires that every child who is eligible for busing be assigned a seat, even though many students, especially in high school, never use the bus. This presents an optic and real problem as residents and politicians see half-empty buses bouncing around the District. Provincial politicians encourage public and separate school boards to cooperate more but it’s often government rules and regulations that have precluded rural school districts from making such cooperative arrangements. Examples noted were restrictions on allowing school districts the use of 16-seat vans to transport children in sparsely populated areas, or the requirement to provide seats for those “riders who never ride”.

Trustee Yvette Cassidy would like Clearview to approach the Minister of Education with a proposal for a pilot project where parents, school districts and government come together to solve student ridership issues in innovative ways.

Budget deliberations

In his opening remarks, Superintendent John Bailey highlighted the reality that all rural school districts, including Clearview, have seen continual enrollment declines over time, including the largest school, Wm. E Hay High School. Some argue that teachers have not declined in the same proportion as enrollment. Instead of only six teachers fewer, the district should have 18 teachers less based on current enrollment. Bailey noted that government funding models such as class size initiative (CSI) and board decisions such as drawing down Reserves, has allowed the Clearview School District to sustain more teachers even with enrollment declining. “Every school works very hard to keep as many staff in front of students as possible to maximize student success”, said Bailey. Two schools are in a deficit position, Coronation and Stettler Middle Schools and these deficits will have to be dealt with. Turn to Sometimes, Pg 2

ECA REVIEW

Sometimes schools get caught with deficits because of formula changes Cont’d from Pg 1 School surpluses or deficits are cyclical. A small school that loses one student, or gains one student requiring a full-time teacher’s assistant, can quickly use up their reserves and fall into a deficit position. Sometimes schools get caught because of formula changes. There is also a funding shortfall at the Stettler Elementary School. A previous board decision had moved grant dollars to support a full-time Kindergarten program. Those funds have now been cut yet the

Coronation baseball academy proposal Jenna Cole

ECA Review Reporter There is potentially big news in store for Coronation. Brant Stickel came before town council Monday, April 22 and presented his idea for a baseball academy in Coronation, similar to the Badlands Baseball Academy run out of Oyen. The business proposal, which is still a rough draft, suggests the academy would have seventeen players who each pay $13,500 a year, which after covering the basic costs of equipment, housing, uniforms and other needs makes roughly $7,500 profit per player. The academy would run from September to June, the players would go indoors during the winter months, practicing in the gym where there is talk of a portable turf being put on the gym floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good opportunity for kids to come in and have a place to call home. They will enjoy it here; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good little town. Everyone benefits from it, there is no negativity about it if the kids are good,â&#x20AC;? Stickel said. The council met the proposal with general enthusiasm, agreeing that it would be a positive force in the community and perhaps lead to other things like a multi-sport complex. They gave unanimous support for the idea. According to Stickel, the academy would bring in a lot of

business during weekend home games, as it would draw large crowds to the community and facilities like motels, restaurants and gas stations would be utilized. Stickel is confident this is a realistic endeavour for Coronation, saying the community is one of the best for support and involvement. One of the biggest challenges foreseen is getting the baseball diamond in good playing shape and making it a more friendly and inviting place for family and friends to come and watch. There are plans to flip the diamond so it is facing the other way, which would require a lot of time and maintenance. Stickel said another challenge is the prospect of billeting the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids need a place to stay and taking a random kid into your household is definitely a challenge

for sure. That is one of our biggest obstacles,â&#x20AC;? Stickel said. Finding potential billets is one of the next steps for the plan to go forward, billets would be paid $500 a month which comes out of the playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial fees. The goal right now is to have the academy up and running by the fall of 2014, which Stickel hopes is enough time to get the business plan finalized and all the financial support needed. If not, Stickel said there is no rush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make sure it is perfect before we go ahead and dive into something like this. There are a lot of people and a lot of money involved in it so I want to make sure it is in good shape before we get it going,â&#x20AC;? he stated. Cam Brown, principal of Coronation School was by Stickelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side at the meeting showing his

support on behalf of the school. He told the council the school would benefit by gaining 16 - 17

new students, which would help financially and it would also help the town.

Dry grad fundraising by Jenna Cole Five grads from Coronation High School will be on their way to Disneyland next month having finished their last major fundraiser event on Sunday. The students leave on the night of graduation and stay for three nights. The grads had to raise $1,000 each to fund their trip, which they did through bottle drives, selling coffee and finally a lasagna dinner and dessert auction held at Brownfield Baptist Church. Pastor Terry Belcourt from Coronation approaches students every year with the offer to do something different than the traditional safe grad party. Only two classes out of the last eight had any interest, the last dry grad party was thrown in 2008. Belcourt said the idea to take the students to Disneyland started a few years back when Const. Val Dennis mentioned when he lived in Pincher Creek they took all the grade 12 students to Disneyland instead of throwing them a party. “It put it in our eyes, hey this is a

bigger idea, let’s do something more then just having a party here. Lets up it. So we started talking about it,” Belcourt said. “In grade nine Terry Belcourt approached us. He said that he wanted to go to Disneyland for our grad 12 trip,” said Gerene Cole, one of the students going, “We kind of thought that it was a little crazy, I mean that’s quite a big thing to do.” “We started planning and we realized, ya maybe we can do this. We have been working fundraising and getting it altogether and now it’s going to happen,” stated Cole. Cole said the dessert auction was a lot of fun and huge success. The highest dessert sold for $115 dollars to Brent Altwasser from Brooks, who was represented by Wes Kopas. Other graduates going on the trip are Kaden Kopas, Caylen Belcourt, Lihan Tolmie and Brandon Symons.

Gerene Cole (L) and Brandon Symons (R) took bids for the cherry pie, held by Lihan Tolmie, at the Dessert Auction fundraiser held at the Brownfield Baptist Church on Sunday, April 21. All monies raised will go towards a trip to Disneyland for five Coronation graduates who opted for a dry grad celebration.

OPINION

Controlling and devaluing voices Brenda Schimke

ECA Review Journalist Polls are seldom reliable in predicting elections but they can serve as a snapshot of a nation’s mood. In a nation-wide poll conducted by Ipsos-Reid between March 28 and April 3, 2013, Justin Trudeau scored 10 percentage points ahead of Stephen Harper and NDP leader, Tom Mulcair for qualities of trustworthiness, ethics, values, political vision and the world stage. Now the poll results could be interpreted that the Liberals under Justin Trudeau will gain ground in the next election. Or more likely, it could be interpreted as a chastisement of the current Prime Minister for not delivering on his promises of accountability, openness, honesty and transparency. When first elected, Harper delivered quickly on his accountability and transparency promises. He established an independent Parliamentary Budget Officer and appointed highly respected Kevin Page as its head. Page’s work was stellar. He exposed the real long-term Seen as a traitor costs of the F-35 purchases, the true costs of the Afghanistan of government, war now and later, and the long-term financial conserather than a quences of many of the “tough on crime” legislative proposals. protector of the It was exactly what Canadians voted for. It gave public purse. politicians three sources of input before making catastrophic financial decisions—the bureaucrats/military (the users), the manufacturers (the suppliers) and an independent body representing taxpayers (the financers). Yet Kevin Page was seen as a traitor of government, rather than a protector of the public purse. His contract was not renewed and the role of the Parliamentary Budget Officer is now under review. Trudeau, in his leadership campaign, said “if maintaining power is your only goal, then government oversight by independent bodies becomes very pesky”. Canadians may like Harper’s economic plan. Yet many Canadians also want a Prime Minister who has the ability to balance the need for party discipline with MP grassroots representation. Trudeau uses phrases such as “controlling, and de-valuing voices” and “the need for divergent voices to provide checks and balances and representation”. It resonates with the public and particularly stands out with Harper’s recent move to deny his own backbenchers the right to ask questions reflecting constituency concerns. Ironically, the Brian Mulroney Conservatives were dumped in favour of the grass-roots Reform-Alliance Party because that’s exactly what was ticking off Westerners— Prime Ministerial control. Yet now we have a Western Prime Minister who has taken top-down, hyper-controlling management to a new level of paranoia. The poll results likely don’t speak so much to Justin Trudeau’s appeal, but rather to Canadians desire for better leadership. Canadians are so done with MP’s and MLA’s who say one thing and do another. They’re so tired of Senators, senior bureaucrats, government appointees to quasi-independent bodies, and elected officials cheating on their travel and expense forms. If Justin Trudeau were elected there’s no guarantee he would be different. In fact, if the past is a predictor of the future, he won’t. But that hasn’t stopped Canadians from continuing to search for that Prime Minister who will prove our skepticism wrong.

PRAIRIE VIEW

Mulcair on Keystone XL You listen to NDP leader Thomas Mulcair talk about the Keystone XL pipeline and it makes you wonder if he is living in the real world. I don’t think he has a clue what makes the economy of this country work. Of course, the majority of socialists do not understand the principal of wealth creation. They think all you have to do is tax big corporations to fund government social programs and increase wages and benefits for their union supporters. It doesn’t occur to them that corporations have to make a profit or they would have no money to be taxed. Last week Mr. Mulcair went to Washington and basically bad mouthed the Keystone XL pipeline to US legislators. Shipping our oil to the US was going to be bad for the climate. He did say however that if it was refined and consumed in Canada it would not be an environmental problem. It is okay to burn fossil fuels at home but if we export them we will contribute to global warming. Go figure! He thinks that the oil should be upgraded in Canada to create more jobs in Canada, 40,000 jobs by his estimate. While that may

Direct seeding improves soil quality A gr i -N ew s

Soil quality, including soil organic carbon, was measured 6, 12 and 18 years after the trials were initiated. “There was a significant increase in soil organic carbon, a reflection of organic matter, in the first six years,” says McKenzie. “The increased organic matter has continued after 12 years and 18 years; however, the increase has flattened out as the soil organic matter levels have approached an equilibrium or steady state.” Organic matter acts like a glue to bind soil mineral particles together. Using low disturbance direct seeding systems not only improves soil organic matter, but other benefits include improved soil structure, which in turn improves water infiltration into soil. When the only soil disturbance occurs at seeding, there is less disturbance of root and earthworm channels. This also increases the water infiltration rate of rain water into soil and reduced water runoff. The more water that can penetrate and be stored in soil, the greater the crop yield potential. Direct seeding contributes to increased crop water use efficiency. This is particularly important in the drier soil regions in southern and south central Alberta. Increased crop water use efficiency results in more stable crop yields and farm income.

Starting in the early 1980’s, prairie farmers gradually switched from conventional tillage to adopt direct seeding, the seeding of crops directly into undisturbed or cultivated soil. Direct seeding of crops has improved soil quality, increased soil organic matter and improved nutrient supplying power of the soil. Generally, over a period of years of direct seeding, not only has soil organic matter increased, but there are other improvements in soil quality such as better soil tilth. “No-till leaves more crop residue on the soil surface to protect surface soil from the damaging forces of wind and rain,” says Dr. Ross McKenzie, senior research scientist - agronomy with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “Elimination of tillage means less oxygen is added to the soil, which stimulates microorganisms that break down and decompose residue. “Crop residue on the soil surface reduces contact with the soil organisms that decompose residues. As a result, surface residue and remaining root material stay in the organic form longer. This contributes to increased soil organic matter.” Prairie farmers are using more diverse crop rotations with cereals, oilseed and pulse crops in their rotation. This generally results in higher crop yields by interrupting the life cycle and impact of some weeds, insects and diseases. More diverse crop rotations and increased crop yield means more surface residue and root material is returned to the soil to improve soil organic matter.

Breeders’ Section FCC reports rise in Ben Van Haga Alberta farmland values Trucking

A gr i -N ew s The average value of farmland in Alberta increased by 7.2 per cent during the second half of 2012, according to a new Farm Credit Canada (FCC) Farmland Values Report. A strong agricultural economy, low interest rates, growing world food demand and higher commodity prices have attributed to the national increase in average farmland values. The latest increase is part of a trend that shows farmland values rising in the province since 1993. Alberta farmland values increased by 5.7 per cent and 4.5 per cent during the two previous six-month reporting periods. The FCC report provides important information about changes in farmland values across Canada. The average value of Canadian farmland increased by 10.0 per cent during the last six months of 2012. This increase followed gains of 8.6 per cent and 6.9 per cent in the previous two semiannual reporting periods. Average farmland values remained virtually the same in British Columbia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. Average farmland values increased in the other provinces. Quebec experienced the highest average increase at 19.4 per cent. Recent agricultural outlook reports in Canada and the United States suggest that while crop prices are expected to come down from recent highs, prices are projected to remain above historical averages over the next ten years. These expectations of future crop

receipts are reflected in the current farmland values. According to the 2011 Ag Census, the majority of the total land in agriculture (including areas that were used by others) in Canada was owned by those who operate it, at 61.5 per cent. This is followed by rented land at 21.9 per cent and land leased from government at 13.1 per cent. The FCC Farmland Values Report has been published since 1985. FCC established a system with 245 benchmark farm properties to monitor variations in bareland values across Canada. FCC appraisers estimate market value using recent comparable sales. These sales must be arm’s-length transactions. Once sales are selected, they are reviewed, analyzed and adjusted to the benchmark properties.

Breeders’ Section New training course supports safe livestock handling in Alberta A gr i -N ew s An innovative new training course will help to support the safe handling of livestock when transport accidents and other emergency or loose livestock situations occur. The training course, Livestock Handling in Emergencies and Equipment Trailer Training Course will be delivered by Lakeland College’s Emergency Training Centre and School of Agriculture instructors, Vermilion, beginning this spring. It will focus on training emergency responders, and others who may be involved in these incidents, in the use of a new fleet of livestock handling equipment trailers. Support for the trailers and the course development was provided by Growing Forward II – a provincial/federal/territorial initiative – along with a range of livestock industry groups and stakeholders including Alberta Farm Animal Care (AFAC), which represents all the major livestock producer organizations in the province. “The livestock trailers are a tremendous resource to support safe livestock transport and handling in Alberta,” says Heini Hehli, a Rimbey dairy producer and chair of AFAC. “The new training course will ensure we have well-trained emergency responders operating and using these trailers. It represents an important step forward in helping to provide leadership in animal welfare, while supporting the safety of both people and animals involved in these situations.” A pilot phase for the course produced strong positive reviews and some good feedback that will help the course developers fine-tune the content and format. The first offerings of the two-day course are planned to start in late April. There has already been a strong response in registrations and interest. “The pilot phase and the early response and feedback have been just excellent,” says Denis Cunninghame, manager of Training Services at Lakeland College. “We’re very excited to introduce this course. For emergency responders and others who can benefit from this equipment and knowledge, the trailers and the training combined will provide a brand new resource to dramatically improve their capability in dealing with incidences involving livestock.” The progress related to both the trailers and the training course has stemmed from discussions initiated by the Alberta Farmed Animal Health and Welfare Strategy Steering Committee. The committee was inspired by the vision and forethought of groups in Red Deer County and Ponoka that developed similar livestock handling trailers for deployment in their areas. A sub-committee including representatives from the Alberta Equestrian Federation, the Alberta Beef Producers, Livestock Identification Services, RCMP, AFAC and

STOUT LIMOUSIN BULLS with Rib, Hair and Hip

Jim 403-779-2263 Greg 377-2572 Tim 779-2273

In the past, the cow-calf business was a family business, so the family did the work. by Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist, North Dakota State University Extension Service Deal with the living and care for the dying. If one is in the business of caring for living things, then one always should approach the day with the understanding that the goal is life, not death. Death is inevitable for all, but not our daily goal. As we care for the numerous living things around us, our goal is life. In the world of beef production, all management directives are designed to maintain and improve the herd. Each cow, bull and calf is essential. Calving time serves to illustrate the strong desire and need to focus on each cow and calf. Calf death is unacceptable. We know that calf death will occur. However, that does not mean we accept the death of a calf. Instead, we see it as a challenge to our management abilities. The recent cold spells and spring snows are a challenge for those who chose to have their cows calve early or, for all practical purposes, at the traditional calving time. The family is rewarded well for bringing into the home or even the bathtub a chilled calf that needs warmth. Larger calving operations also are rewarded well for placing a calf in a warmer in the shop. The essence of cattle production radiates from calving. Calving is that time when care is critical and understanding important. Perhaps that is when one really comes to appreciate the “look.” Although it may not seem like much, some people have the uncanny ability to look at another living thing and perceive all that is good and all that is bad. Calving certainly is a time for the “look.” Is that cow really having problems? Has that newborn suckled? Is that calf running a fever? Does that calf look a bit emaciated? The same is true any time cattle are handled, such as the new calves in the feedlot or the new replacement heifers that just arrived. All cattle benefit greatly when they have someone watching over them who has the ability to provide the look. The look is not learned from a book and is not something you can just tell someone. The look is engrained in the depths of someone’s ability to understand and process detail. The little things in life, such as the twitch of an ear, blink of an eye or failure to blink, will mean something to those

who understand how to care for living things. Therefore, one of the lessons of life is to deal with the living and care for the dying. The chilled calf that is not taken care of does not have a future. Taking the time to gather the calf, provide some stimulation and encouragement and to reunite the calf with an impatient mother is critical, if not essential, to the cow-calf operation. Surrounding the herd during calving with those who take the time to do the look is critical to the survival of the cowcalf business. There is not an option to come back later or let the next shift worry about problems. The last looks before leaving or one more check of the gate latch are more opportunities to visually see that the calf is nursing. Such activities are what produce cattle hands who know what is important and that keeping calves in the living inventory is the goal. Unfortunately, there is a greater challenge in the world of beef. It is a challenge that really changes how the beef industry functions, is perceived and the industry eventually will evolve. Who is going to do the work? That is the challenge. In the past, the cow-calf business was a family business, so the family did the work. There was a learning curve, but the younger members of the family watched mom, dad, grandma and grandpa slowly, but methodically, do the day’s chores without missing a beat. A problem cow or calf would be checked and rechecked. Sometimes the checks happened so fast that one did not know they were taking place, but the older family members still had the ability or look to know what and when things needed to be done. Have you ever experienced a day when everyone started to show up all of a sudden because they just knew they were needed? The help always was appreciated and the right timing was there. It was almost eerie because they knew when the time was right. Today, that still may be true for many operations. However, in reality, many operations are managed outside the family, so the elders are not there. The difference is subtle but real. May you find all your ear tags.

Donna Chalifoux supplied the lovely lunch at noon with the help of her daughter, Connie. On Wednesday, the United Church Presbytery meeting will be held in Alliance. This is a two day meeting in the Spring. Tuesday the meeting will be in Forestburg. Since Alliance and Forestburg is a two point charge, they thought it would be nice to share the meeting. A few years ago it was done for the rst time and it was the rst time that many folks had been to Alliance. We had a little work bee at the church one evening last week to x a light, clean the lights and hang the beautiful “Lord’s Prayer” piece of crochet that Marie Rands had done. Guy Godine and Pam LaFontaine came from next door and helped out. Guy didn’t mind getting on top of the tall ladder. There will be a cleaning bee

There were a few vendors at the market with baking. Rob Applegate was there for the rst time with farm fresh eggs. Jolene Weber has some lovely pork jerky. Ruth Peacock came to the market and had a chance to visit many old friends. Ed and Pam Muise went to Camrose to meet up with Ed’s brother for a visit while he is on his trip from the Maritimes. I met David Joseph at the market this week. He has bought the pink house on Railway Ave. He comes from Edmonton. It was the price of housing that attracted him to Alliance. The Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) work to improve the lives of women and their communities all around the world. April 29 is ACWW Day. Local Alliance women, members of Women’s Institute and others will be walking for ACWW to raise awareness and funds for the ongoing projects.

The band, along with Consort’s rock group, Yellow Blackbird, played as the opening acts for the Hunting Hills High School rock show hosted by its headline band, Triple HS. These bands together will showcase a tour of Edmonton elementary schools, along with a performance at West Edmonton Mall at the end of May. 3Day Weekend has been raising money to help fund this trip. Mike’s Munchies is currently accepting bottle donations towards the cause. That, and any other funds, are gratefully appreciated. For more information please contact Dan Kinakin.
