Colt dies after fall at Hand Hills rodeo John MacNeil

Review Reporter The death of a colt shook the cowboys and the crowd at the Hand Hills Lake Stampede on Sunday, but the ever-popular bull-riders closed the rain-soaked show on an energetic note at the 98th annual pro rodeo. A Calgary Stampede colt that just minutes earlier had caused a stir in the chutes, and appeared in a novice saddle-bronc re-ride, fell to the ground just outside the ring and didn’t recover. The horse was covered and towed out of the rodeo grounds on a skid before a hushed crowd watched the delayed bull-riding competition, which lived up to its billing as five riders posted scores and turned the tables on the bulls. Daniel Gratton, a 20-yearold novice bronc rider from Sundre, rode the bucking colt — named X62 — shortly before its demise. “It really never happens,” Gratton said of the horse’s death. “Like, that’s rare. One in a million, almost.” It was a long afternoon for Gratton, who made good on his second re-ride to finish fourth in the novice saddle bronc. Before the young cowboy’s second of three rides on the day, there was plenty of commotion in the chutes as an unsettled X62 showed his bucking potential. “Yeah, he was kind of a mean sucker in the chute,” Gratton said. Novice saddle-bronc rider Daniel Gratton, 20, of Sundre rides a Calgary Stampede colt, X62, shortly before “He’s just a colt, and that the horse’s death Sunday at the Hand Hills Lake Stampede.

horses are bred to buck. That’s what they’re born to do.” Cowboys are born to compete, and the show went on without a mention of the colt’s passing from the announcer’s booth. “That’s the first one I’ve ever seen,” novice bronc rider Cody Resch said of the rodeo roughstock death. “It’s very, very rare. “Whenever you see that, it’s always a little sad. But it’s bound to happen. It’s kind of (inherent in) the sport. Any sport, really, something like that is going to happen.” Resch, an 18-year-old rookie pro from Leader, Sask., also trains horses. He spent an extended period Sunday trying to pacify X62 before Gratton’s first re-ride — and the colt’s last run. “Yeah, I was just trying to calm him down a little bit,” said Resch, the runner-up in the novice saddle bronc Sunday and the Canadian Cowboys’ Association novice champion last season. “Sometimes you’ve just got to play with ’em a little. “It was just a young colt ... that tripped over ’er feet kind of thing. Just like tripping when you’re walking.” Gratton added: “He just slipped. His footin’ was bad or somethin’ — just slipped and fell. “It does (upset people). But there’s the best horse people around here. You can’t ask for better treatment. That was right on scene. We did everything in our power to help him.” Turn to Every, Pg 10

Prairie Land ‘a highachieving school division’ John MacNeil

McKeage believes that a key component of the tech plan is that it’s practical for staff. “A tight document does that,” he said, noting that teachers must not only be expected to execute the plan, but also able to integrate it in students’ learning. The plan requires schools to develop goals for the strategies and timelines for achieving learning outcomes. Technology acquisition supports are going to be enrolment-based and allocated as schools achieve their learning targets, the board reported. “The province outlined a plan for integrating technology in classrooms and in schools,” said superintendent Neumeier. “In keeping with that plan, we’re updating our tech plan. “Our tech plan had a heavy focus on purchasing, and less of a focus on pedagogy, and we’re moving towards a plan that’s based more on usage than on purchasing.”

Review Reporter

Prairie Land Regional Division took home a solid report card this spring after the school division showed continued improvement in provincial accountability pillars. In the May report, the Prairie Land school division scored improvement in 10 of 16 pillars and showed significant progress in six of those categories, while maintaining its position in the six other pillars. “PLRD is a high-achieving school division,” superintendent Dr. Wes Neumeier reported at the board’s May 21 meeting. “Our students enjoy a 90.9 per cent school completion rate, compared to provincial completion rates of 74.9 per cent. “By working collaboratively with families and quality teachers and support staff, we provide a high-quality education program for our communities.” Those communities had direct impact Budget approved in the latest pillar accountability results, Prairie Land moved to accept the 2014-15 which were derived from student and teacher surveys administered in January operating and capital budget.

Clearview school picture not all Professional Directory ‘gloom and doom,’ says chairman Dr.McIver DENTIST

Chapman and Co. Professional Accountants LLP

Lisa Joy

Review Reporter Even though declining enrolments and less provincial funding forces Clearview Public Schools to make tough staffing decisions, there’s still a lot to praise in the division, says a board spokesperson. “It isn’t all doom and gloom,” said chairperson Ken Checkel, adding that students continue to excel on provincial achievement tests. Based on enrolment numbers and funding, the principals just rearrange classes and staff and move forward with 100 per cent focus on educating students. “Our demographics and the province’s funding formula puts some stress on us,” he said. “We adjust and move on.” But with tough budget decisions becoming the norm, the board wants to engage the public and stakeholders and be transparent. At the board’s May 29 regular meeting,

trustees set two dates for future meetings with school councils, which will be held at the board office in Stettler. On June 26 at 7 p.m., the school council chairs are invited. On Oct. 9 at 9 p.m., all school council representatives and principals are invited. “We invite the school council to talk about advocacy with the province and how we can work together,” Checkel said. Next year, student enrolment is expected to decrease by three per cent or 71 students. The largest decrease is expected at William E. Hay Composite High School by 6.5 per cent or 34 students. Middle schools and outreach schools aren’t funded as well by the province, and to offset that, the board has created the Stettler School Reserve, said Checkel. “If there is any difficulty, those funds would be available.” About $200,000 is in the reserve fund, with the money coming out of what was left over from the William E. Hay modernization project. The high school had

County of Paintearth goes to bat for recreation projects In passing its 2014 budget, the County of Paintearth approved an additional $8,000 to FCSS programs in Coronation and Castor. The added support is to be split between the Coronation and District Support Services and the Castor and District Family and Community Support Services. The contribution is over the mandated 20 per cent county support of those programs. The county’s capital budget is $5.2 million, with $2.8 million from grants, $280,000 from the proceeds of the sale of capital assets, and $2.4 million from the restricted surplus — funds strategically set aside for future capital expenditures. The capital budget doesn’t affect the tax levy, the county reported after its May meeting.

Recreation grants

County of Paintearth has approved recreation and community service grants to multiple organizations: $100,000 to the Town of Coronation and District Recreation Board; $100,000 to the Town of Castor and District Recreation Board; $20,000 to the Brownfield Recreation Board; $20,000 to the Halkirk and District Recreation Board and $2,000 each to the Castor Museum and the Coronation Museum. A stipulation in the grants to Castor and Coronation is that the towns must allocate $36,500 to the hockey arena, $36,500 to the swimming pool, $13,500 to ball diamonds/ parks/campgrounds, and $13,500 for “unconditional” purposes.

reserves for furnishings and equipment, so the money from the province for that purpose was put into the Stettler School Reserve fund. The board has utilized the same principal for both the Stettler middle and elementary schools. “It’s not a real long-term solution, but we will continue with that for next year,” Checkel said. The Coronation and Castor outreach school operations are different because they are funded as programs in kindergarten to Grade 12. “So they have the opportunity to cross subsidize each other,” Checkel said. The board put together a document of frequently asked questions and Checkel says the two main ones are, “Is my school getting all the funding it should?” and “Why is my school laying off staff?” The board encourages people to go to its website, clearview.ab.ca, for more information.

Help protect Alberta lakes — Lacombe County Lisa Joy

Review Reporter In an effort to protect its lakes, Lacombe County (including Alix Lake) is asking boaters to help by ensuring boats and equipment are clean. Thus far, there are no aquatic species such as Eurasion Watermilfoil, quagga

Mussels or Zebra Mussels. When introduced into lakes, they might cause extreme change to local lakes ecosystems and water operated infrastructure. They can live out of water for about 30 days and they reproduce one million eggs every year and are almost impossible to eradicate. To prevent the spread of these species,

RCMP investigate mischief in Daysland, theft in Forestburg Between May 20 and 22, the Killam/ Forestburg RCMP detachment received multiple complaints of mischief to vehicles in the town of Daysland. At least three vehicles were vandalized with black spray paint. The licence plate of a vehicle was spray painted black, as were the signal lights of another vehicle, while the numbers “420” were spray painted on the back of a third vehicle. On Sunday, June 1, Killam/Forestburg detachment responded to a complaint of theft from a vehicle in Forestburg. The investigation revealed that between 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, and 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 1, a Garmin Nuvi GPS

and Banks EQ controller for an engine programmer were stolen from a truck parked on a residential street in Forestburg. The value of the stolen goods is estimated to be more than $1,000. RCMP continue to investigate. On Friday, May 23, Killam/ Forestburg RCMP received a complaint that a derogatory word had been spray painted on a fence in Daysland. The offences are still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Killam/Forestburg RCMP at 780-385-3509 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or www.tipsubmit.com.

Lacombe County is recommending: • Clean and inspect watercraft, trailer and gear. • Remove all plants, animals and mud at the access area or dock. • At home, soak gear in two per cent bleach solution for one minute. • Rinse, scrub or pressure wash your boat away from storm drains, ditches or waterways. On land: • Drain bait buckets, ballasts, bilges, coolers, internal compartments, livewells and transom motors. • Don’t release live bait into a water body or transfer aquatic plants or animals from one water body to another. • Drain boat paddles by inverting or tilting the watercraft, open compartments and remove seats if needed. And, dry your watercraft and gear completely between trips to allow the wet

Reporter’s short stay long on memories Katie Davis

Review Reporter It’s never easy saying goodbye. Much as time’s passing draws forth changes in weather, vitality and maturity, so too does it herald new choices to make and new paths to tread. As my tenure with The Review draws to a close, I have had much time to reflect on my experience in this industry and this intriguing east-central landscape that so many genuine, honest and good people call home. Moving to Coronation in 2013 was an immersion in total newness — I recall approaching the town with wide eyes and much excitement, having escaped the frigid metallic land of churning trains, swiftly rumbling city crowds and sky-scraping megabuildings in Ontario. The vistas I would see as Davis Coronation sprouted up from the horizon were like nothing I’d experienced before: the painted fire hydrants, mid-street signage and iconic water tower; the sprawling golden fields and massive happy skies beckoning to the calmed soul. The town presented itself as easily navigable and uncomplicated from the onset, and this was to be carried forth in the easy, happy pace of town life; where people greeted each other by name and lent a smile to any encounter. I consider myself immensely lucky to have been hired by Joyce to work as a reporter in this area. The stories I was able to pursue, from local people with extraordinary histories to faraway towns boasting artistic works of poise and

brilliance, gave each day a new life that was as exciting to witness as it was to write about. Observing council meetings and scholastic gatherings demonstrated immense amounts of care and concern for community well-being. Attending fundraisers and events proved a continual effort to keep rural life invigorated and creatively engaging. Though small, each locality was overflowing with a vitality that was telling of how much rural populations appreciated and valued their way of life in the plains. In east-central Alberta, I saw the merit of community and friendships that transcended circumstance and time. I saw towns and villages that valued the wellbeing of their inhabitants and were always striving for community betterment. I saw a way of life that was strong and time-honoured in the face of great changes in our cultural landscape. I saw the positive attributes within the Coronation and area that many residents know and hold dear. I will never forget the experience of working at the Review and I am excited to have gained valued friendships and memories during my time here. I cannot express how honoured I feel to have been able to write for this readership, and I can only hope that my works reflected a deep appreciation for the experiences the eastcentral community provided. As I move on to new horizons, I can and will never say enough good things about the people and communities I have encountered throughout this journey. Thank you, everyone.

We’re caught in a trap — the greed trap Brenda Schimke

ECA Review Journalist Most Canadians wholeheartedly approve of placing sanctions on President Vladimir Putin’s rich friends as retaliation for Russia’s takeover of the Crimea Peninsula and inciting separatist violence in Eastern Ukraine. Using the powers under The Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act, the government on March 17, 2014, invoked regulations and started to announce names of Russian citizens sanctioned. At the same time, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was warning Canadians with Russian-business dealings to brace for economic pain because these sanctions were about “the greater national interest.” Through March, April and May, names were added to the list, but interestingly enough, CBC News came across evidence that three of the most powerful and richest it seems exxon men in Russia were not on our Mobil, bombardier and list. These men SnC-lavalin are exempted were Sergey Chemezov, Igor from taking part in the Sechin and Vladimir Yakunin economic pain that many — names that were on American and smaller Canadian European lists. It didn’t take long companies have faced for the CBC to conthe dots. since the sanctions began. nect Chemezov is head of Rostec an industrial and military corporation that has an aircraft assembly joint venture lined up with Quebec’s Bombardier Inc. Sechin is chief executive officer of Rosneft, which just happens to be an oil company owning about 30 per cent of an Exxon Mobil oilsands company in Alberta. Yakunin, president of Russian Railways, had signed an infrastructure agreement with Quebec’s SNC-Lavalin for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and additionally Russian Railways signed a commercial agreement with the Railway Association of Canada in 2009. It seems Exxon Mobil, Bombardier and SNC-Lavalin are exempted from taking part in the economic pain that many smaller Canadian companies have faced since the sanctions began. We could blame Harper and politicians generally for their situational ethics but it’s actually a reflection on all of us, this writer included. We’ve become lazy Canadians and lazy world citizens. We like the good life that money provides and we like it to come easy. CNOOC, China’s state-owned oil company, was allowed to take over Calgary-based Nexon and is another example of economically tying ourselves to undemocratic regimes. When China moves to seize those Japanese Islands they’ve been eyeing for some time or uses nuclear weapons on a neighbour, what will our government’s response be? Likely the same, posturing and lip service since today our real “greater national interest” is economic development that requires foreign investment. And, we seem to have no boundaries about who we take money from. Until we are prepared to sacrifice monetarily to uphold our principles, ethics and beliefs, at best our international response toward countries such as Ukraine is more symbolic than sincere. We’re caught in a trap, the greed trap, and Russia and China know it!

To cover or not to cover 5'14

Coronation/Stettler, ab.

Agri-News That is the question. Traditionally, hay and pasture land was seeded with a cover crop as a way of competing with weeds and reducing soil erosion. In these systems the perennial forage seedlings had to compete with the more robust and highly competitive annual crop seedlings which resulted in a thin stand the first year. Often it would take two to three years for a pasture or hayland to fill in resulting in low yields and reduced stocking rates. The invention of herbicides and direct seeding systems has provided more options for establishing hay and pasture and has resulted in shorter times to reach full production. “Using herbicides to clean up the field and direct seeding to reduce soil erosion eliminates the need for a cover crop,” said Linda Hunt, forage specialist at Alberta Agriculture. Another reason that a cover crop may be seeded is to act as a carrier to prevent bridging in the seed hopper. The goal should be to use the minimum amount of grain to minimize completion for light, moisture and nutrients. A high phosphorus fertilizer is sometimes used as a carrier however the fertilizer can negatively affect the inoculant on the alfalfa. The term cover crop is often used to refer to companion cropping. In a companion cropping system the goal is to maximize the yield on both crops. There has been a lot of research on companion cropping systems and the results are

variable. In most cases, yields of the two crops seeded together are lower than if each crop was seeded separately. Results are best when the two crops are even competitors with different harvest dates, and are highly dependent on the right moisture at the right time. Alfalfa and annual cereals are not even competitors and so companion cropping alfalfa with cereal silage is a risky practice and is not recommended. Another type of cover crop system that is gaining popularity is the practice of seeding a mixture of several soil building plants after an annual crop is removed. The idea is that the plants will condition the soil by encouraging the development of favorable microbes and organic matter. The goal of these systems is to have the soil always growing and covered. These crops are then grazed, winter killed, or killed with herbicide and the next annual crop is direct seeded into the residue. This system should not be confused with the cover cropping systems recommended for establishing perennial forages. Clean fields and direct seeders are ideal for maximizing yields in the first year and establishing crops quickly. “Choosing whether to use a cover crop or not will depend on the state of your field and your equipment. When you have the option to not use a cover crop take it,” Hunt said, “the most productive years for alfalfa are the first five to six after seeding. Thin crops that take years to fill in seldom reach their maximum potential yield.”

May 30 moisture-situation update Over the past few days, a major rain event occurred within the province, bringing well over 60 mm of precipitation to the Fort McMurray area, and upwards of 30 to 50 mm across those agricultural areas, lying west of Highway 2 between Calgary and Edmonton and north of the Yellowhead Highway between Lloydminster and Edson. A large part of the province, west of Highway 2 between Calgary and Edmonton and north of the Yellowhead Highway, saw significant spring rains, with many areas seeing well over 30 mm of precipitation, over the past few days. For those areas north of the Yellowhead Highway, this rain may be well received, given that soil moisture reserves in many of these areas were below normal, prior to this event. In contrast, many areas west of Highway 2 had near normal soil moisture reserves prior to this event, and may not have needed the extra moisture quite yet, as seeding is likely still underway. Of particular note is the area west of Highway 2 between Red Deer and Calgary. Some of these areas had soil moisture reserves estimated to be at least one in 6 to 12 year highs prior to the event. The extra 30 to 40 mm of precipitation has certainly pushed soil moisture reserves much higher here. These areas would clearly benefit from warm dry weather over the next few weeks. Across those areas that were previously dry (the extreme northern and central Peace Region) less than 5 mm was recorded over the past several days. They will need at least near normal moisture soon, in order to encourage good pasture growth and help in germinating newly seeded crops. The driest areas of the Central Region, through Camrose, Beaver and Flagstaff County, saw upwards of 20 mm, providing, at the very least, a brief respite to previously rising concerns surrounding a

potential lack of moisture. For those areas west of Red Deer, June and July are the wettest months of the year, on average seeing upwards of 100 mm each month. These areas should be noted as having a potential for “excess moisture”, if above average rainfall accumulations continue.

Bull-ridin’ ‘Every horse has a different pattern’ drama Cont’d from Pg 1 Gratton rode another cantankerous horse before he took a dive and landed in the money on his final go Sunday. “They’re more tryout horses,” he said of the Calgary Stampede stock. “They’re just young, so it takes a couple of trips before they figure out really how they want to pattern themselves, because every horse has a different pattern. I’m sure in another two or three rides, that

Bob Seger’s sweet sounds of Running Against the Wind played on the Hand Hills rodeo sound system Sunday afternoon, but cowboys, cowgirls and spectators were actually running against the rain at the picturesque lakeside site. It rained steadily for most of Sunday’s program, the end of the three-day show. The bulls put up a damper of their own for most of the weekend, with no rides Saturday and for the early part of Sunday’s grand finale. Five riders were bucked off before five of the next six riders posted qualified rides and thrilled the crowd in “the most dangerous eight seconds in sport,” said announcer Barry Boghean. “We’ve got it goin’,” he said after Tanner Girletz (81) and Dakota Buttar (79) cashed in and before champion Beau Brooks (82.5), Jordan Hansen (82) and Jesse Torkelson (77) followed suit. Brooks, with his winning ride on Slow Lane, took home more than $1,100. After a muddy afternoon, the sun was shining Sunday as vehicles left the rodeo grounds. “Hope to see you next year — the first weekend of June,” the sign read.

Filtering information for decisionmaking

Agri-News Information filtering is a process for deciding what information is worth further consideration and what isn’t. It includes deciding which websites, tweets, newspapers, magazines, bulletins, and “junk” mail to read, and what to throw away or delete. “Farmers and ranchers are bombarded with information,” says Rick DeHod, agriculture farm financial specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Edmonton. “Filtering information guides managers in using their time and

eCa review

resources to attend educational meetings, observe practices of farmers and ranchers, and participate in other information gathering activities. “Decisions must frequently be made with incomplete knowledge. Major sources of uncertainty include technological developments, weather, market conditions, and policy issues including government programs and changes in fiscal and monetary policies. These factors and others interact, increasing risks. These uncertainties underscore the need for filtering information and improving decision making.”

How a farm manager decides which information to use is a complex and individual process, says Dehod. “There is no single or “best” way to filter information. However, there are certain factors that should be considered when making decisions, and several tips for filtering information that can lead to improved decision-making.” Dehod has these suggestions to help filter information towards making better decisions: Take time to think. Maintain a curiosity to learn, but do not waste time.

Identify major problems to be solved, opportunities for improvement, and the information needed for decision making. Sort out the big decisions from the little decisions. Concentrate your time on important decisions; this reduces the number of daily decisions. Discuss major expenditures with the record keeper and other family members. Sometimes a mistake is made because one individual keeps the records and another person makes a major purchase without the benefit of record information. Realize the importance of what has gone on in the

operation. Furthermore, project the consequences of a particular decision on the farm business. Purchase with a plan instead of on impulse. Discuss major decisions with another knowledgeable individual, other than family members, who can be more neutral. Do not rely solely on your own judgment. Talking out a decision encourages the organization of pertinent information. Evaluate alternative outcomes. Estimate what will happen to the operation and the family if the decision does not work, as

CoronAtion/StEttlEr, Ab

well as if it does work. Combine an optimistic outlook on life with realistic expectations from decisions. Leave some slack for adverse conditions. Ask if the decision makes common sense. Ask questions, such as how many families can the farming operation realistically support? Individuals starting new farms or enterprises should slow down and not get caught up in the excitement of buying and building. Before committing substantial resources to an unfamiliar endeavor, seriously consider working in an established

JunE 5'14

operation for a minimum of two to four weeks. Sometimes the desire goes away and individuals can avoid substantial losses. It is generally too costly to simply try something. Commitment is needed for success. Use farm planning tools such as record analysis, budgets, and whole farm planning to organize your thoughts and filter information needed for improved decision making.

Successful weed control

Agri-News With seeding recently completed, producers will soon be heading to the field to begin to prepare for the next major management decision – in crop weed control. Controlling weeds after crop emergence is an important part of producing a successful crop. “When herbicides are used effectively, weed competition will be reduced resulting in a crop yield benefit and in order to ensure a successful herbicide application there are a number of decisions that need to be made by the producer,” said Mark Cutts, crop specialist at ARD. A successful weed control program begins with an understanding of the weeds present in a field. The best way to determine weed populations is through field scouting. Although most producers will have a good understanding of weed populations it is important to keep in mind situations that may lead to more weed pressure. For example, fields that have the potential for

increased volunteers from the previous years’ crop (weather or harvest related), fields used for cattle feeding sites and new fields being farmed should all be carefully scouted. An increasing concern in many areas of annual crop production is the resistance of weed species to herbicides. In Alberta several weeds have confirmed herbicide resistance (eg. wild oats, chickweed, cleavers, kochia). Following a good herbicide rotation will reduce the risk of herbicide resistant weeds developing. Herbicide purchases should be based on chemical group and active ingredient. Purchasing pesticide products based on product names could lead to repeated use of a particular active ingredient and increase the risk of developing herbicide resistant weeds. The importance of early weed control has been recognized for a number of years. Weeds compete with the crop for moisture, soil nutrients and sunlight. Turn to A multi-setp, Pg 15

ECA Review/J. MacNeil

A multi-step process Cont’d from Pg 14 Early weed control minimizes weed competition and provides a bigger benefit as compared to delaying spraying in order to allow more weed seeds to germinate. The stage of crop development should also be noted when planning an herbicide application. Some herbicides allow for an early application (eg. 1 leaf stage of the crop) while others require plants to be more advanced (eg. 3 leaf stage of crop). Information on crop stage requirements can be found in the Crop Protection 2014 (“Blue Book”) publication. Scouting fields after an herbicide application will determine if the weeds were controlled. In the majority of cases, producers will find that the herbicides have performed adequately and weeds have been controlled. However, in certain situations field scouting may determine that weed control was not achieved. When this situation is recognized, producers can start to evaluate what might have caused the poor control such as environmental

conditions (temperature, moisture) or the possibility of herbicide resistant weeds being present. “Successful weed control is a multi-step process. A good scouting program, careful herbicide selection, timely application and evaluating the effectiveness of applied herbicides will aid in achieving beneficial results,” said Cutts.

Doing what’s best for our children. Alberta’s students are among the best in the world. To keep it that way, quality teaching is critical. Our teachers are dealing with significant challenges like new technology and curriculum, diverse student needs – and too many young teachers are leaving the profession. At the same time, Albertans want more accountability for what students are accomplishing in school. ‘Doing what’s best for our children.’ That was the direction I gave last year when I formed the independent blue-ribbon Task Force on Teaching Excellence. This dedicated group of educators, school leaders, educational consultants and community leaders used their combined knowledge and experience to make recommendations to achieve continuous improvement in teaching excellence. Task Force membership includes: • Chair Dr. Glenn Feltham – President and CEO of NAIT with an extensive academic and professional background • Vice Chair Sandra Jansen – Associate Minister of Family and Community Safety, MLA for Calgary-North West • Naresh Bhardwaj – Associate Minister of Services for Persons with Disabilities, MLA for Edmonton-Ellerslie and former teacher • David Dorward – MLA for Edmonton-Gold Bar, Chartered Accountant and Certified Management Accountant • David Fraser – Executive Director of Corporate Services with Edmonton Public Schools with more than 30 years of human resources experience • Dr. Sharon Friesen – Vice Dean and Associate Dean of Professional and Community Engagement in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary, recipient of a Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence • Dr. Irene Lewis – a former teacher and the President Emeritus of SAIT Polytechnic, named one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women 2010/2012 • Dr. Craig Loewen – Dean of Education at the University of Lethbridge, recipient of ATA’s Educational Research Award • Mackenzie Martin – a University of Alberta education student, former representative on the Alberta Education Minister’s Student Advisory Committee, recipient of the TD scholarship for Community Leadership • Everett McDonald – MLA for Grande Prairie-Smoky, former reeve, former trustee • Brent McDonough – former teacher serving as an advisor to the Masters in Educational Studies Program at the University of Alberta, co-chair of Inspiring Education Steering Committee, former chair Edmonton Public Library, former member U of A Senate • Michele Mulder – Executive Director of the Alberta School Councils Association, former president of the Alberta School Boards Association 14061DE0 • Andy Neigel – President and CEO of Careers: The Next Generation, has taught at NAIT and the University of Alberta

• Shelley Ralston – National Director of Talent and Culture for a Fortune 500 company, Chair of the Red Deer College Board of Directors, recipient of the Women of Excellence Award 2008 • Laurie Thompson – a current teacher and ATA member, principal at Kikino School – recognized as one of the top 25 Schools in Canada in Today’s Parent magazine • Ron Young – a current teacher, principal and ATA member with more than 30 years of experience

After hearing from 3,000 Albertans, their report is in. Some of their recommendations include: • Increasing the time available to teachers for preparation and collaboration • Internships and reduced workload for first year teachers • Adopting a formal mentorship program to provide more support for beginner teachers, as well as new school and district leaders • Improving evaluation process for teachers and the professional growth plan process • Requiring teachers to maintain certification, with evaluations conducted – with the purpose of demonstrating professional growth and continual evidence of performance – every five years • Increasing access teachers have to technology and specialized supports and services • Requiring new school leaders to complete a leadership program • At education faculties, increasing the amount of current practicum requirements to provide student teachers with more classroom experience before they graduate • Requiring post-secondary institutions to look beyond grades to suitability when admitting education faculty applicants • Increasing transparency and effectiveness of process for complaints of teacher competence or unprofessional conduct – the Task Force report does not recommend splitting the ATA into a college and a union, it prefers the government to work with the ATA to resolve the current issues • Increasing empowerment for principals to deal with teachers that need to improve their skills – the Task Force report does not recommend removing principals from the ATA, it prefers the government to work with the ATA to resolve the current issues

Your government won’t make any decisions without hearing from parents, teachers and everyone who cares about our children’s education. It’s your turn to have a say.

Valley Ski Club ‘already excited for next season’

Submitted by Valley Ski Club From May 12 to 14, members of the Valley Ski Club attended the Canada West Ski Areas Association (CWSAA) conference in Whistler, B.C. The annual conference brings ski industry members from British Columbia to Manitoba together for learning and fellowship. This year, the conference was host to more than 500 delegates who had the opportunity to participate in 62 different functions throughout the three-day event. Chris Blumhagen, Valley Freestyle coach, participated in the Parkscapers Course provided through the Selkirk College Ski Resort Operations and Management program. The ParkScapers program is Canada’s only national terrain-building initiative that focuses on disseminating industry best practices when building terrain parks, air sites, cross tracks and mogul fields. Two full days on snow building jumps, setting up parks and constructing a snow cross track, was complemented by classroom sessions and online pre-conference learning. “Parkscapers was so much more than I imagined,” said Blumhagen, “After such a long, seemingly never-ending winter, I’m already excited for next ski season.” Inside the conference, delegates attended sessions on topics such as Online Reputation management, Occupational Health and Safety, Temporary Foreign Workers program, Small Ski Areas operations and more. Grant Boddy, Valley Ski Club president,

said “the conference was extremely well organized and there was so much information available on every aspect of ski hill operations. ” The ski hills/resorts in attendance ranged from full-service mega resorts such as Whistler/Blackcomb to small community-run hills like the Valley. The conference provides an opportunity to make connections and share successes and challenges. “One of the most valuable parts of the conference was meeting hills who are facing similar challenges to ours in terms of erosion and slippage,” Boddy said. “And to see how they are meeting and in some cases overcoming those challenges. We look forward to continuing those conversations over the coming months.” The Canada West Ski Areas Association maintains a Small Ski Areas Assistance fund to enable small areas with limited budgets to attend the conference. “The conference exceeded all my expectations,” Boddy said. “On behalf of the Valley Ski Club, I’d like to thank CWSAA and all those that contribute to the fund for enabling our attendance.”

On the other hand, by hitting the ball directly there’s a good chance that it will end up on the other side of the green. If the sand trap is fairly shallow and there is a good distance between you and the flag, a pitching wedge or a 9 iron may be used in order to roll the ball. In short, the aim of most golfers is to get out of the bunker on the first shot and thus avoid a catastrophic score. In order to improve your technique and feel at ease in this type of obstacle, don’t hesitate to ask for some tips from your golf pro. What’s more, many golf courses have sand traps on their practice ranges, enabling golfers to perfect their technique.

The secret is in the shaft Golfers often neglect to ask about types of shaft when purchasing golf clubs. While several different materials are available in stores, steel and graphite shafts are by far the most widespread. First of all, golfers should be aware that the design and characteristics of a shaft can vary from one manufacturer to another. The choice of a shaft, whether flexible or rigid, depends on your type of swing and will influence the trajectory and the length of your shots. Heavier and less expensive than those made of graphite, steel shafts normally have a lower flex, or kick point, which contributes to better stroke control. Renowned for their lightness, graphite shafts absorb vibrations more effectively. More and more golfers prefer to use graphite shafts for their drivers and fairway woods in order to optimize

power. On the other hand, they are more likely to use steel shafts for their irons to increase precision. Because of their light weight, graphite shafts are better suited to women, older players, and those who have joint problems. Some golfers prefer flexible shafts, while others are more comfortable with rigid shafts. These days, the majority of clubs are adjustable. The length, the angle of the club head (loft), the shaft, and the grip can all be adjusted, taking into account the swing and the physical characteristics of the golfer. The best way to make the right choice is to try the different types of shaft. Another good idea is to consult a specialist who will be able to steer you in the right direction, according to your game style and your budget.

Bunkers are the nightmare of many a golfer, causing huge frustration and quickly ruining a golf score. As in all aspects of the game, the right technique and regular practice with a sand wedge is the key to success. Getting out of a sand trap successfully means taking an open stance and positioning yourself with the ball centred between your feet. Right-handed golfers should align their shoulders slightly to the left of the target. Don’t grip the club too tightly. Then all you have to do is open the clubface, hit about three centimetres behind the ball, and complete your swing. When all is said and done, it is the sand that propels the ball out of the bunker. If your swing is too short, or if you

You always know how to lift the mood, with your sense of humour. From your countless hours of hitting on poor Mrs. Dunkle, to your obsession with your “sick flow,” and your killer dance moves, you never fail to make us laugh. You are the only person I know who had to get your dad to physically remove your cowboy boots because your feet were so swollen from dancing so much. Not only are you the drift king, but you are the master of geography. You’re endless arguments about farming, and your infectious laugh, is something that we will never forget. Levi, or should I say, world’s greatest baker! Your baking skills are over the top. It doesn’t matter if you mix up a teaspoon and a half of baking soda, for a tablespoon and a half of baking powder, it all does the same thing, right? Your dry sense of humour and your little comebacks never fail to put a smile on our faces. Like telling my mom on our Grade 10 camping trip that she should be able to keep up on our hike, because she has many years of experience walking. Your work ethic, drive and ambition are qualities that will allow you to achieve the success you desire. Taryn, you’ve been my best friend since Day 1. You are probably the happiest, kindest person I have ever met. You are able to brighten anyone’s day with just your smile. Not to mention you laugh at just about everything. Your remarkable abilities, from academics to athletics, make up for what you sometimes lack in logic. Like the time we were flipping through Cooke’s moose calendar, and I decided to test your outdoorsman skills by asking if that was a bull or a cow, and you piped up and said, “What are you talking about, that’s a moose.” Maisie; Now that we move on to the next chapter of our lives, you don’t have to

worry anymore about geography with Mr. Muhlbeier. Your blond roots surely did shine through. I hate to break it to you, but the longest river in Canada is not the Nile, nor is the provincial equivalent to the PM the president. You can make anyone’s day with your loud, contagious laugh, and your outgoing nature. Amberly; we should have known that when Tanya told us we were trouble at the day home, it would follow us through to high school, especially on the basketball court. I think that this season, you proved to us “defence” was your strength. Who would have thought that you, of all people, would take out one of the opponents with a concussion, after setting the perfect screen. Your incomparable laugh and telling people what you think make you who you are. Your friendship and leadership qualities will open countless doors in your future. Brianna, I don’t know how you can look good every day, even when you rolled up in the old Crown Vic. You are most known for your little mouse sneezes, and letting someone know when they have gotten under your skin. Your adventurous and poised attitude will get you where you want to go. Thecla, you are artistic, a scholar and an athlete. You never cease to amaze us with your musical talents and wit. Your well-rounded abilities will allow you to achieve anything you decide to pursue. Meriah Wiart; You are an amazing athlete. Your setting a new track record in high jump, or six-packing a girl this season, proved that you and Thecla are good at zinging people with your comebacks, especially to the boys and Mr. Faber. Your dedication and drive will get you through all that life throws at you. Turn to Unconditional, Pg G4

‘Unconditional love and support never fails’ Cont’d from Pg G3 Donovan, or as we call you Donny (sorry, Marilyn), you are over the top. In everything … from being the class clown, to pushing to try to get a reaction, which usually ends up with someone losing their temper. You don’t care what people think about you — from your outrageous comments to your cat shoes. There is never a dull moment when you’re around. When you see someone that is upset, your empathetic personality shines through. Ashley, oh Ashley, where to start? You’re probably one of the kindest-hearted people I know. Your positive outlook, cheerful attitude and compassion for people are going to get you where you want to go. Not to mention your blond moments and sense of humour. You never fail to make anyone laugh. From asking Tyla what kind of language Toby spoke because he talked with an accent, to arguing with Mr. H. that McDonald’s doesn’t kill a chicken, and with all sass you came out and said, “That’s why I said chicken saaa, to so many more we’ll never forget. You are going to be missed, my friend. Graham, if we can’t find you working on the farm, we now know to just look for Mariah. You have a hard-working, confident attitude that rubs off on the people around you. Mariah Schnell; you were one of the four that joined us from Alliance. You were the quiet one of the crew. But your intellectual abilities always amazed me. The quote, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” always reminds me of you; whether it’s you bringing in top-of-the-notch photos to com-tech class, or sharing that box of Chinese food with Graham. Curtis; you are our Galahad guy with a quirky sense of humour. From paperboy to bowling club, you’ve done it all. You have an easygoing attitude and a positive character that will allow you to achieve anything you

set your mind to. Toby; if any teacher had a favourite student, it’d be you. You take every phys-ed class like it’s the Olympics. You probably are most known for being quiet and innocent, but you didn’t fool us. Like they say, it’s the quiet ones you’ve got to watch out for. Always remember, your little red car is always known … Kayla, you joined us in Grade 10. I remember all we heard about you before you came was how you were a taekwondo master and you could chop wood in half. I’m not going to lie … I was a little scared. You are a great addition to our class. Your unique, determined and fearless perspective on life never fails to amaze me. You’re not afraid to get up in front of people and show us who you are. Candace, you may come across as quiet and reserved, but little do they know you’ve got quite the outgoing nature. You’re not afraid to let your friends know what you think, and I like that about you. Back in Grade 9 when Mr. Muhlbeier asked, “Is the House of Commons’ décor red or green?” and not even thinking, you said, “Blue.” The boys never let you live that one down. Your hard-working, kind character will allow you to conquer anything you desire. Dakota; You joined us this past year. You have a quiet demeanour, but constantly show us your kindness and determination in pursuit of your goals you set. Dylan; you are well-known in and out of the school for your athletic talents and also your loud, booming voice. I don’t know if it’s not thinking before you act, or if it’s you trying to get a rise out of people, but it never fails. Like during the Grade 9 camping trip, you peering behind the girls’ tent to see if Ms. T’s theory about attracting wolves was right, or you and Jake throwing a firecracker in the girls’ change room to see our reactions. … Lacey; you are the only person I know I’ve ever seen fail at T-ball.

Not only did the ball go flying, but the tee did do. Maybe it had something to do with what you call, “the Alliance lazy eye.” You have a heart of gold and the most gorgeous smile. You speak your mind, and I admire that about you. Your optimistic, compassionate attitude will allow you to pursue all of your dreams. Tyla, you joined us in Grade 8. And I’m so grateful for that. You are always willing to give a helping hand when someone is in need. I owe you for the countless hours you spent trying to explain chem and bio, and I still didn’t understand it. I may not be able to help you with schoolwork, but anytime you have car trouble, I’m always here to the rescue. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to open your truck hood, or attempting to drift in your mom’s minivan and getting stuck in the only patch of snow around. As a brilliant, mischievous and ridiculously good-looking class, it is safe to say that we didn’t get through it all by ourselves, which is why we have so many people to thank. For starters, our parents and guardians. You’ve provided us with the first few building blocks of our lives. You have put up and dealt with our drama, our sibling rivalries, and even when we have tried to revolt. Not to mention the countless hours out of your lives to help us with our homework, drive us to sports and auditions, and be our fan base even if you were the only one yelling from the crowd. Your unconditional love and support never fails to keep us going. No matter what, you guys always ensure we have people who love us and to come back to when life gets overwhelming. You ensure we have everything we need to tackle any obstacles on our journey. If it wasn’t you guys getting after us to do our chores or our homework, it was our teachers, who taught us the lessons that extended well beyond the four walls of a classroom.

‘Instilled the creativity and education in all of us’ Cont’d from Pg G4 Starting with our elementary teachers, who instilled the creativity and education in all of us. Little did we know those would turn out to be incredible talents and ambitions. I have to thank them for all their patience they had for us. To our junior high teachers, thank-you for doing everything you could to try to keep us in line. Whether it was the moment of fear that came when Mrs. Fletcher gave us the look, or Mrs. Dunkle’s eye rolls in agony, they always guaranteed we were prepared for our trip to high school. And, of course, a big thank-you to our high school teachers. They had the huge task of providing us with the final preparations before we hit adulthood. They put up with the drama and rebellion, and always kept our futures in mind. I can guarantee that it won’t be months, even years from today, that we fully appreciate the lectures, effort and care you put into us. To our coaches, you gave us the motivation to push us to our limits only so we could strive for the best we could possibly be. Your dedicated hours you put into us, making sure we have perfected all techniques, so we can achieve more than just a gold medal. Through victory and defeat, you’ve taught us, “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”

Thank-you for all the time you put into us. I also want to thank our little communities. You’ve kept an eye over us, making sure we kept out of trouble, and making sure we are safe. One of the best things in growing up in the small-town atmosphere is everybody knows everybody. You can always count on a friendly hello. We all take for granted the depth of the relationships we have made. Each of us on this stage has walked this long road together. After the hardship we faced last fall, losing a good friend, we’ve learned that no matter how hard a situation can be, we have one another to fall back on. We all have endured adversity that has created a bond that will hopefully carry with us on our journey. Remember, “When you’re joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrows has given you joy. When you are sorrowful, look again into your heart, and you shall see that in truth, you are weeping for which has been your delight.” We are now stepping onto the unchartered path to our futures; an entirely new journey. After today, we are leaving the security that we find in our close group of friends, and in our little tight-knit community, and now entering the real world. I am just as inexperienced and unsophisticated as the rest of you. Which means we can no longer just walk into the foods room

scrounging for food, call up grandma to do our laundry, or listen to Mr. Muhlbeier’s life lessons. I wish each of you success in whatever you decide to pursue. But more

than this, I wish that each of you will find true fulfillment in your lives. Don’t forget the greatest things never come from the comfort zone.

With congratulations and best wishes to all the members of Castor and Coronation 2014 graduating classes and their families. Best wishes and every success in meeting your future goals.

VALEDICTORY ADDRESS

‘We now enter one of the most exciting times in our lives’ By Cody Wales Class of 2014 Coronation School Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great privilege to stand before you as the valedictorian of Coronation School’s 2014 graduating class. A school, which I have learned recently, is not against taking bribes. But all joking aside, it is truly an honour to be chosen to speak on behalf of my class. Thirteen years ago, on a fateful day, we began our schooling. Every one of us in an eager nervousness, hoping to make friends and have fun. And although we have welcomed some newcomers throughout the years, we now sit before you as a group of friends. And we certainly have had fun throughout these years. Whether it was building massive snow forts in elementary, eraser wars in junior high, or just hanging out in high school, we have always made the best of the time we shared together. Despite the fact that we will all be going our separate ways in the near future, the friendships we have built will always be remembered as we move forward. However, we will not just be parting ways from our peers. We will also be parted from the teachers that have given us knowledge throughout our schooling.

Although, this knowledge is not always academic and sometimes comes in the form of how best to prank another teacher, thanks Mr. Lawson. No matter what they are teaching, these individuals truly care about us and aim to give us the best chance for success, even when they disagree about some extra sleep being more important than their lectures — right, Austin. Speaking of extra sleep, maybe if Mr. Enright didn’t sleep through half of the workout classes he would have been able to climb that rock wall, just an idea. In all seriousness, we would like to thank all of Coronation school’s staff, as you have been paramount in getting us to where we are today. When thinking of those who have impacted our lives, we most certainly cannot forget our parents. Individuals that have been there since Day 1, always wishing the best for us. We will never be able to repay you for all of the things you have done and continue to do. And although we can get on each others nerves, we know that without you we would not be the people we are today. As we move into the future, we can only hope that we have made you proud and continue to do so. It is because of the support that we have received from friends, teachers, and parents that the

class of 2014 sits before you as a talented and intelligent group. We have provincial medals, both hockey and volleyball, countless dance awards, and many hours of work tucked underneath our belts. We have conquered Mrs. Canadine’s pop quizzes, defeated diplomas, and pretty much anything else this school has thrown at us. While this is only a small sample of what our class has accomplished, I feel as though it speaks volumes to just how gifted we are. I know that once we leave high school we will find all of the success that the world can offer. Tonight, we celebrate the bittersweet freedom that we have worked most of our lives to achieve. After this, we will venture out into the “real world” with no one to hold our hands. We will move away from our parents, friends, teachers, and, for some of us, the community that made us who we are. While none will be that far out of mind, we will be prevented from running to our parents every time we encounter a problem. While we may be leaving behind our school and community, we will now enter one of the most exciting times in our lives, a time where we can truly begin to shape our future. As Abraham Lincoln said, “The best way to predict your future is to

create it.” Now, with the freedom we have earned, we can begin to fabricate the paths for which we wish our lives to follow. While this is both scary and exciting, I know that this class

will venture forth and accomplish anything we could ever dream. So class of 2014, I implore you to embrace your dreams, do this and you will forge a path that will be followed for years to come.

2014 GRADUATES

As one chapter of your life closes and another opens, I offer my sincere congratulations and best wishes to all Castor & Coronation graduates.

PRINCIPAL’S ADDRESS

‘We do indeed love all of you, and can’t wait to see what’s next’ By Cam Brown Principal, Coronation School Good evening, everyone. Thank you for sharing this special night with these special young men and women. I get to finally keep my word to some of my friends that this will be my shortest speech ever. As there are 30 of you up here, and Doug and I get to poke fun at every one of you, and I noticed Jeff is giving the farewell, and we all know we can never get that guy to shut up, people (mostly, you guys) would kill me if I went on too long. But I do want to say a couple of things … It is an honour to be up here with these people tonight on their graduation. They have just been an exceptional group of people to watch grow into what sits before you tonight. I talked with them as a group a couple days ago, and told them we loved them and were very proud of them, and even though I tell each Grade 12 group that they have been an excellent group of leaders, and are the best group yet, it is true because each year, the kids learn from the people before them and become better because of it, and therefore are in ways better than those before. I had a conversation with one of these students later that day, and he said, “Brown, I don’t think I buy that we are the best group yet.” He explained that there are some of us who aren’t exactly model students. What I told him was that whether or not a student likes school, or is even slightly interested in post-secondary education, is irrelevant. It is about the people they have become, and will continue to grow

to be. Because a student’s interest in school doesn’t make them the person he or she is, and certainly is not a measure of a person’s importance. What values guide our important decisions in life, and whether we learn from our mistakes and adjust our future actions, is what really matter, and what makes us who we are. So, is this class a wonderful group of people? Yes, absolutely they are, because they have demonstrated time and time again that they are a kind, giving, fun and talented group of people who have grown together and supported each other through all sorts of life’s challenges. And they make us all extremely proud. I know grass always looks greener across the fence, and I envy other people’s careers at times, like I’m sure everyone does, I wonder if I chose the right career, but when I think about the relationship I have had with the students up here on the stage, I would not change one single day. What you students have done for my life, and I mean each and every one of you, is immeasurable, and I could never thank you enough for it. That gift is the one thing about teaching I wish everyone could experience, because there is nothing else like it. Bright, young people with endless possibilities at one of the most important stages of their lives sharing their dreams, fears and gifts with me everyday; it is worth all the money in the world. That doesn’t mean that some days I wouldn’t like to throatpunch all of you, but hey, that’s what a relationship is all about. We had the unique opportunity

this year to have several new students come to Coronation School, and it has been a completely positive experience. Not all the new students that came are in this group, of course, but we were blessed to be able to share their final year with Brittany, Kayla, Amanda, Heather and Riley. All of these students added to our school community immensely. Riley had been with some of these students before, and with his easygoing attitude and personality, he took no time fitting in. The girls suffered a tragedy within the first month of school, and it was a traumatic time for them as they all lost a friend, but they rallied together, and with support from the entire class, they pulled through it and went on to form new bonds and friendships that I hope will last a lifetime. It is a testament to the type of people in this group that five new people can come in Grade 12, and by half way through the year, it was no longer considered to be a new group of students and the old students. They were all Coronation students and now, they always will be. I am really proud of all of you for how well that went, because there is no guarantee that is how it will happen in the future, but you have proved to everyone, and more importantly to yourselves, that it can if you want it to. So believe me when I say you are an exceptional group, and you will do exceptional things time and time again. So remember to be safe tonight and everyday after tonight, because we do indeed love all of you, and can’t wait to see what’s next.
