Hardisty teen ramps up skatepark pitch John MacNeil

OPINION: Many variations of grey Page 6

Count On Us

Wheel of a Deal

Travis Wurz has a dream that he hopes isn’t a pipe dream.

The athletic 15-year-old wants a skatepark built in his hometown of Hardisty.

It wouldn’t necessarily be an expensive city-style park full of bowls and ramps, but at least a worthy facility that would serve residents of Hardisty and neighbouring communities.

“I think if we do get a skatepark here in Hardisty, lots of kids will use it, because there’s lots of kids here that like to skateboard,” Wurz said on a rainy Friday afternoon, Aug. 8.

“I think that it would motivate kids to go outside and have fun and just hang out with people, and get the community involved. Plus, other kids from other towns could come here, too, and check it out. People from Lougheed, Killam and Sedgewick (to the west), Hughenden just east of us, and Irma north of us.”

Wurz plays hockey and snowboards in the winter, and he remains active in the summer on his skateboard and dirtbiking, while also working two jobs. But other than on driveways and parking lots, the options are limited for skateboarders and bikers in the oilfield hub of Hardisty.

“I think Hardisty gets pretty boring, for a teenager like me,” said Wurz, who begins his Grade 10 studies next month in Sedgewick. “If we could raise the money, doing a couple of car washes and getting some donations from the oilfield, we could actually build a skatepark here in Hardisty. That would just join the community together.

“It would be another thing to do in Hardisty. We want people to stay here and we want our community to grow, especially with the oilfield. If we had more recreational facilities, I think that our town would grow and we could have people move here.”

The well-spoken Wurz has already discussed his plan with like-minded friends and he believes those teenagers and their parents will back him in his pitch to town council to construct a skatepark, perhaps as part of a fitness-centre complex.

“I’ve had the idea for a lot of years,” Wurz said. “I probably have 15 or 20 people that want to do it, and there’s probably people from every town (in the region) that would want to go to the town office and mention this in the town meetings. “(The town) could give us some money, but I think we would have to raise more of the money ourselves. I’ve been starting to research things.

Park would serve all youth Cont’d from Pg 1 “I’ve heard that skateparks (cost) more than $200,000 for the good ones. But I was thinking that if you could get a small pad with cheap but durable and efficient parts and ramps, we could actually do a cheap $100,000 or $75,000 skatepark.”

Wurz is confident such a facility would appease not only athletically inclined youth, but also the greater Flagstaff County community.

“There are kids that aren’t as athletic, but I guess if we had a skatepark, that’s something that they could do,” he said. “It’s something that they could possibly love for the rest of their life.

“Those (less-active) kids could go there and hang out and meet new people. Because not every kid wants to play hockey or play on a

baseball team.”

Wurz, a midget hockey forward and an actor in school plays, likes playing video games, but he also makes the most of the outdoors — summertime and wintertime.

“I think a skatepark would help to get kids out of their house,” he said. “Especially the kids that don’t want to play on those teams.

“We’ve got to keep our Flagstaff County together, have (more) county events, just to keep this county rolling along.”

Hardisty, known for its burgeoning oilfield business, has an arena, a curling rink, a golf course, ball fields, rodeo grounds and a lakeside park. The town’s population is recorded as less than 1,000 people.

“I guess that Hardisty does have the numbers, but people think that because we have the oilfield, we

should be a way bigger town,” said Wurz, the youngest of three brothers. “But that’s not the case.

“With all those oilfield workers here, we should get some recreational facilities, just to keep people here. I think that’s a great idea for kids, for adults and for future families.

“We could get one big building full of facilities, like a track for running, a fitness facility and a skateboard park.”

The ambitious Wurz has a list of allies to strengthen his case for a skatepark for people who ride bikes, skateboards and scooters, or simply enjoy the outdoors.

“I wouldn’t mind (making a presentation to council) this summer, just so they could have the idea this winter of what they’re going to do, if they decide to do it. And they could build it next summer.”

He welcomed talk of constructing a park in Hardisty, even if the concept is still in the preliminary stage.

“That would be pretty nice, especially if it was concrete, or just bigger than this one,” Shaw said from the Killam skatepark.

“I like going to different ones, too, and just explore.

I’ve been to quite a few other parks.”

Most of all, Shaw is at home at Killam’s well-kept layout.

“In the summer, I definitely spend the most time here,” he said on Friday, Aug. 8, waiting for the rain on the ramps to dry. “(Summer in Killam without a skatepark) would probably be pretty boring.

It’s something to do. It’s outdoors. It’s fun. It’s always fun.”

Shaw estimated his wellused bike is worth about $800. He’s ramped up his

game this summer and can perform a wide variety of tricks. He likes to compete, too, against his friends.

“We play a game called Bike,” he said. “You set a trick, and then someone else does it, and you get a letter and you spell Bike.”

Set in a concrete platform, the Killam park features a variety of ramps.

Councillors nodded in agreement as Kulyk gave local highway conditions a failing grade. And it’s not necessarily a new issue.

“In the past couple of years, we’ve brought concerns with Highway 12 and its condition and the deterioration, and we’ve consistently got the message that there’s just not enough money to deal with it,” she said.

“Generally, we try to have a meeting with transportation (officials) every year at the AUMA convention, simply because it is an opportunity to have their eyes and ears, hearing your concerns, not just a piece of paper or a letter or a phone call.”

The concerns aren’t just about road conditions in the spring and summer, Kulyk said.

“There’s (also) been concerns with the Highway 12 maintenance contract, in particular snow removal. It’s universal, all year long, there’s a little bit of concern each season.”

Coun. Brett Alderdice said trucks travelling on Highway 872 have also caused considerable damage to that road.

“That’s where the holes are,” agreed Coun. Griffiths.

Coun. Liz Adams said it’s unacceptable for major roads to be in such rough shape.

Oyen’s Logan, Stettler’s Georget bound RURAL WATER TREATMENT for Western Canadian bantam tourney 3” wide version

(Province Wide)

John MacNeil

Review Reporter For a pair of East Central Bulls, the baseball season is going to extra innings.

The Alberta-champion North Peace Hurricanes have added pitcher/third baseman Paul Georget of Stettler and catcher Gavin Logan of Oyen for the Western Canadian bantam AA baseball championship, which runs Aug. 15-17 in Swift Current, Sask.

Georget and Logan were part of the Bulls team that lost 8-7 to the Hurricanes in the provincial Tier 1 final Aug. 3 in Stettler.

North Peace coach Robin Atkinson, whose Hurricanes rebounded from a 7-4 deficit in the last inning of the provincial final, scouted potential pickups from multiple teams, but he chose to stick with the Bulls in rounding out his 15-man roster.

“I just thought it would be easier to bring two players from the same team,” he said from Peace River.

“It’s nice to have a buddy there.”

At the same time, Atkinson believes he’s picked up two of the

best bantam players in the province in Georget, 15, and Logan, 14.

The hard-throwing Georget started the provincial final and pitched five-plus innings.

“I thought that he was their ace,” Atkinson said. “He’s pitched a heck of a year. In the provincials, he pitched very well against us. I told the boys that we’re facing a pitcher that throws a lot of strikes. ‘We need to get up there and be aggressive and take some hacks.’ That seemed to work.

“Overall, he’s a great pitcher, a great starter. And it looks like he’s a great leader on and off the field.”

Along with an almost-unbeaten season with the Bulls, Georget and Logan participated with their respective zone teams in the Alberta Summer Games, as did fellow Bulls Brandon Buxton and Brendan Logan.

Gavin Logan has been a constant behind the plate.

“Gavin, I would say he’s probably the top catcher that I have seen in the AA (ranks) and probably in the AAA, as well,” Atkinson said. “I went to Summer Games this summer and I saw all of the top players in the province. I

would say he’s right in there, if not the top catcher in the province.

Great (hitter), and you can just tell that kid loves ball through and through. Also going to be a great leader.”

Atkinson’s short list of potential pickups included Bulls left-handed pitcher Carver Zimmer of Coronation and South Jasper Place Thunderstruck pitcher Peter Kope.

“Absolutely, a great candidate,” Atkinson said of Zimmer, who pitched in relief in the provincial final. “(But), being only five teams in this (Western) tournament, taking an extra pitcher I think would be just taking away from somebody on our team that’s got us this far.

“There were three or four kids (under consideration), but I decided to take a catcher (Gavin Logan), being the top player at his position.

And also taking the Bulls’ top pitcher (Georget) just makes the depth on our team that much better.”

Before the provincial Tier 1 championship, the Hurricanes picked up two players — pitchers Eric Turner and Ryan Schwindt — who had helped Grande Prairie

Catcher gavin logan (left) of oyen and pitcher/ third baseman Paul georget of stettler, teammates with the east Central bulls, have been picked up by the Alberta bantam AA tier 1 champion north Peace Hurricanes for the western Canadian bantam AA baseball championship Aug. 15-17 at swift Current, sask.

ECA Review/J. MacNeil

Coyotes pick up three pitchers for Western midget championship The Alberta-champion Clive Coyotes have added three players to their roster for the Western Canadian midget AA baseball championship in Swift Current, Sask., on the Aug. 15-17 weekend.

In the absence of three regulars, Zane Steeves and overagers Riley Anderson and Taylor Mulder, the Coyotes have picked up Greg Dekinder of Fort Saskatchewan and a pair of Bonnyville Braves — Devon Sabatier and Cold Lake’s Will Hewitt.

“They’re pretty strong pitchers,” said Clive coach Stacey Bell. “You need the pitching at this level.

“They’re good kids, too.”

The three pickups worked out with the Coyotes during a three-hour practice Sunday, Aug. 10, at Clive.

On the previous weekend, the Coyotes

won the provincial midget AA Tier 1 championship at Fort Saskatchewan, and had an opportunity to scout potential pickups.

The Coyotes lost Anderson and Mulder because of their overage status, and Steeves isn’t available for the Westerns because he’s attending a junior hockey camp.

Bell said his additions not only provide pitching depth, but Dekinder also plays centre-field and Hewitt and Sabatier can rotate at third base and behind the plate.

Dekinder’s father, Darren, is the operations manager with Baseball Alberta.

The Coyotes are made up of players from east-central Alberta communities, including Stettler, Coronation, Monitor, Tees, Camrose, Red Deer, Bentley and Rocky Mountain House. — John MacNeil

STETTLER TOWN COUNCIL

New fire engine likely to cost much less Brenda Schimke

Review Reporter

The Town of Stettler’s budgeted capital expenditure to replace an aging fire engine was $709,000, but will now likely cost $359,000.

At the regular council meeting on Aug. 5, councillors passed a motion to submit a request for an Alberta Community Partnership (ACP) grant for $350,000, the maximum amount allowed in the 2014-15 fiscal year.

Under the terms of the grant, it must be supported by two or more municipalities, but only one of the partners needs to

contribute money toward the project.

The County of Stettler has given its support and since the fire engine provides protection for Stettler, County of Stettler and the villages of Botha and Gadsby and the summer villages of Rochon Sands and White Sands, it fits the program parameters well.

The town has also lent its support to the county’s application to upgrade the resource ring road.

Raw-water intake

Engineering operations manager Gates Bilodeau’s recommendation for the town to

act as general contractor for the removing and replacement of the intake pipe at the water treatment facility was unanimously approved by council.

“This is the first time I’ve recommended this approach and only because the project is a pipe replacement, not a design/build, and it will allow us to save some money,” Bilodeau said.

Knibb Development Ltd., the construction contractor for the project, is experienced in water-treatment facility upgrades and working with epoxy coated steel pipes.

The project was budgeted at $100,000 and work is projected to be done before the end of October.

Algae headaches

Alberta Environment wanted municipalities to put in raw water ponds as part of their water-treatment facilities, but now algae problems have arisen. Municipalities are working with Alberta Environment to try to rectify the problem in a cost-effective way, council was told.

ECA Review/B.P. Schimke

A motion was approved to re-enter into a five-year contract with the City of Red Deer to provide Fire Dispatch Services (911) for all municipalities within the County of Stettler.

The Town of Stettler’s share is $5,748 of the total $11,830.

The contract provides for a four per cent per year increase, the same provision as the previous five-year contract.

Communities in Bloom

A motion was passed unanimously to authorize Robert Spencer, chair of the Stettler Communities in Bloom committee, and his wife to attend the national symposium and awards ceremony in Charlottetown, P.E.I., at an estimated cost of $4,460.

All council members spoke about the hard work and passion that Spencer puts into the program each year.

“If we’re going to play the game and be part of the competition, we need to be there,” said Mayor Dick Richards.

“When we won the national award, we were conspicuous by our absence to accept the award.”

Other councillors spoke about the value of networking and garnering new ideas during national symposiums.

“This motion shows we are 100 per cent committed to Communities in Bloom,” Mayor Richards said.

OpiniOn

Many variations of grey Brenda Schimke

ECA Review Journalist It’s wise never to forget the lessons of war. The First World War was a horrific war with far too many lost lives.

But it was a powerful lesson on a war won, but not really.

A mere 20 years later, all the same players were back fighting all over again.

Lording victory over the defeated rather than working toward reconciliation only begets further violence.

The Allies placed harsh treaties on Germany after their surrender. One treaty forced Germany to accept responsibility for initiating the First World War and made it liable for all material damages. It left the German people deep in debt and with no hope for a future.

It seems sensible to penalize the enemy. Vengeance and self-righteousness are normal reactions, but for lasting peace, it’s never the right reaction.

The German people weren’t the instigators of the war. A select group of their leaders were, yet generations of Germans were now being penalized.

A proud people were humiliated and ready for a hero to come forward and restore their dignity and lives. In this case, it was Adolf Hilter.

After victory in the Second World War, the Allies did not make that same mistake. They allowed Germany, Italy and Japan to regain their honour. This end-of-war response enabled bitter enemies to become international friends, allies and partners of peace for almost 60 years now.

Then there’s the forever Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

There are two sides to that story, too.

After the Second World War, the Allies needed somewhere for the 1.2-million refugee Jews to go. They were none to keen on having a massive immigration of Jews to their respective countries instead their solution was to create the independent state of Israel. Right smack in the middle of Palestine-held territory.

Why Hamas, you may ask? Why Adolf Hilter? If you’re humiliated, oppressed, see no future, have no hope, why not Hamas, why not Hilter?

The Palestinian people have been outgunned and have spent 55 years losing every battle with Israel. The tense relationships between Israel, the West Bank and Gaza has been peppered by wars, occupation, suicide bombers, rockets, roadblocks, movement restrictions, permanent checkpoints and the Wall.

The hope of peace is further from reality than it’s ever been.

Similar to the Germans in post-First World War, what hope do the Palestinian people really have? Is it for us to say why a civilian population accepts violence and brutality when those of us who are Canadian-born have never experienced the hopelessness of “nothing to lose.”

When I was young, everything seemed black and white.

People were either good or they were bad. One side was right, the other wrong. Then I grew up and realized human conflict is very complicated, with many variations of grey.

Never is one side absolutely right or absolutely wrong.

The only absolute in war is that the innocent on both sides of the battlefield are always the powerless victims.

Riders need to slow down while in town Dear Editor, There’s a concern I believe needs to be said, regarding off-highway vehicle use in town.

First off, don’t get me wrong. I have no problems with people riding their quads, dirt bikes and Ski-Doos when the snow is nice and deep. I have no worries about people using such a vehicle to go to the grocery store or such.

That’s a matter for those in uniform to be concerned with. I, for one, believe that out here in a very rural area that how you get around isn’t that big a deal (though I do also recognize that OHV options cannot legally be on the road other than to cross it).

What definitely is a problem, however, is the way some riders think that they should be able to tear through, as though speed limits were optional or mere suggestions. Why should a dirt-biker tear past the hospital at well over 80 km/h in a 40 zone, when a person in any other vehicle be required to keep to the posted limit within reason.

Double the limit isn’t reasonable.

I live at the west side of town and the number of times I see all manner of off-highway vehicles tear by as though the veritable hounds of hell were chasing them is very concerning. Kids walk on that road. So do folks out for an

evening stroll or out walking their dogs.

In short, if you insist on riding your quad, dirt-bike or Ski-Doo on or beside the road, slow down while you’re in town.

Show a little consideration for the kid who may be playing nearby or the pedestrians you may not see right away.

Speed limits aren’t there for no reason. If you obey the rules of the road when in town, people in town may well be less inclined to demand the cops put an end to such travel options entirely. Your choice, folks. Choose wisely.

there was an even bigger reason to get into camping.

You can really get to know whoever you are camping with when there are no other distractions like phones or TVs or computers; then, you actually work and play with your partner or family. You are spending your time with each other and that will always strengthen the bond between you.

One of the best things about camping can also end up being the worst. I am talking about the food, the hot dog to be specific.

Camping has actually ruined the hot dog for me,. You see, camping taught me that the only good hot dog is one that has been roasted over an open fire until the skin has bubbled and almost burnt, and the best is when you can wrap that wiener in a thick slice of bread that has been lightly toasted over that same fire.

Oh dear, now I want one. I guess I need to go find where my friends are camping.

OBITUARY

Copan was ‘a good dancer and entertained many’ Copan, George Robert 1931 — 2014 George Robert Copan was born April 29, 1931, in Inverness, Cape Breton. He was the second last child of nine children born to Arthur and Bertha (McKenzie) Copan.

He was the son of a coal miner and the family moved to New Waterford when the mines closed in the late 1930s.

At the age of 14, George began working at his sister Tillie’s store and then later worked as a plasterer before heading west in 1953.

He worked briefly in Port Alberni, B.C., for MacMillan Bloedel, a forestry company. In the fall, he came to Coronation, looking for employment, and began working for Vinnie and Jo Copan Farwell. Later, he worked for Clarence Fisher, a rancher in the Neutral Hills.

George met and married Wilma Lang from Talbot in August 1956. They had a son, Maurice Arthur, born in 1957, a daughter who died at birth in 1958 and a son Michael Carson born in 1962. During this time, George worked with his fatherin-law, Maurice Lang, and they resided at the Lang farm.

George and Wilma purchased land from Ole Olson and built a new home there in 1963. To supplement the farm income, George began working with Ted Bullick in construction. Later, with that knowledge and experience, George started Copan Construction with Roger Golby and Bruce Lindmark.

George worked hard and played hard.

He loved all sports; fastball, floor curling, hockey, bowling and curling. He curled his last game at 81 years of age! George especially loved music, singing and playing the guitar. He played with Mr. Banjo (Gerald Lang) for dances in the area over the course of many years.

He was a good dancer and entertained many with his clogging and dancing on

the back of chairs. Playing cards was another pastime he enjoyed. He often attended card parties in the early years and then cards at the Drop In Centre in the later years. George was also an avid fan of the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Blue Jays and attended their games several times.

George loved to travel, going to places such as the British Isles, Nova Scotia, Costa Rica, Alaska, Australia and a multitude of other countries. He shared this love of travelling with Wilma, his sons, his grandchildren, and a wide variety of friends.

George loved his family, especially his granddaughters! He rarely missed their sports, music and school events. He relished his time spent on the farm helping Michael during seeding and harvest, and he loved to keep up with Maurice’s travels working overseas.

He is survived by his loving wife Wilma, son Maurice (Ana) Copan and family Cindy, Bryan and Howard of Costa Rica and son Michael (Michele) Copan and family Alyssa, Lauren and Rayel of Brownfield.

He is also survived by his sisters Sadie Keusch of New Waterford, Cape Breton, and Gladys Copan of Boston; sisters-in-law Mitzi Copan of Wolfville, N.S., Mary Copan of New Waterford, and Joyce (Gordon) Wakefield of Talbot; brother-inlaw Gerald (Adrienne) Lang of Bawlf; special friends Dale McKay and Dale Brigley, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was predeceased by baby girl Copan, parents Arthur and Bertha, brothers Clarence, Henry, Andrew, Mannie and sisters Tillie and Mary.

George and Wilma were married 58 years and over the course of the last few years of marriage, he was patient and kind

and never complained when Wilma was struggling with her health.

George will be remembered for his generosity, quick wit, and his eagerness to help others. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends.

George Robert Copan passed away peacefully at the Coronation Hospital and Care Centre on Tuesday July 29, 2014 at the age of 83 years.

A memorial service in honour of George Copan was held on Tuesday Aug. 5, 2014, at 2 p.m. at the Coronation Trinity United Church.

Officiating was Pastor Darrel Durksen.

Linda Osetsky Kneeland played for the congregational hymn, “Just As I Am.” George’s favourite poem, “The Day Is Done,” was read by Frances Forrest.

Special music was by Julie Schroeder, Candy Brown and Patty Shaw. The eulogy was given by Cameron Brown and Craig Brown. Special recorded music was “Song For The Mira,” by John McDermott.

A tribute to Grandpa was given by Alyssa, Lauren and Rayel Copan. A video tribute was prepared by Alyssa Copan.

The urn bearers were George’s granddaughters, Alyssa, Lauren and Rayel Copan; the family interment took place at the Coronation Cemetery.

Lunch and fellowship was held at the Coronation Community Centre, which was prepared and served by the Talbot Homemakers.

As an expression of sympathy and in loving memory of George, memorial contributions may be made to Coronation Hospital Foundation, “Home Away From Home Room,” Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation or Coronation Trinity United Church; in care of Coronation Funeral Home, P.O. Box 358, Coronation, AB, TOC 1CO, which has been entrusted with the care and funeral arrangements. Phone 403578-2928.

Green a family man Benjamin Green 1976 — 2014 It is with sadness that the family announces the untimely death of Ben Green on June 26, 2014, at the age of 38 years. Ben is survived by his wife Cherie and their children Chantel and Shaun, as well as Breanne, his child from a prior relationship.

He is also survived by his sisters Tracy (Sam) Holtz, Debbie (Brian) Cockshott and Cindy Barton (Rob Fyn), as well as his step-father Glen Wason, father Allan Green and numerous Green aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, co-workers and friends.

Ben was predeceased by his mother Ruby Green and brother Chris Barton.

Ben was born in Port Alberni, B.C., on Jan. 6, 1976. He moved to Stettler, where he finished his schooling.

He married Cherie Weeks and their children, Shaun and Chantel, are now three and five years old. Ben was involved with the Stettler Youth Group and he enjoyed fishing, camping, playing pool and bowling. He particularly enjoyed spending time with family and friends, especially annual Thanksgiving gatherings.

Ben loved to cook and was awesome at it. His early employment was as a restaurant cook. In 2003, he moved on to a successful career in the road-building industry in Saskatchewan. Ben became

adept at all aspects of curb, gutter and sidewalk construction and was an excellent concrete finisher.

He was dedicated, hard working and highly valued by his employer. Not only was Ben a reliable employee, he was usually one of the first to arrive at work each morning.

Ben was a quiet person who worked harmoniously with his co-workers and got along well with people. He is greatly missed.

A gathering for family, coworkers and friends will take place on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2014, at 2 p.m. in the Castor Golden Circle (4903-51 Street, located behind Magnet AG Foods), followed by a barbecue pot-luck to which all are invited to attend at Huber Dam Campground, 11 kilometres east of Castor on Secondary Highway 599, then turn south onto Range Road 131 or take Highway 12 east to Fleet and turn north on Range Road 131. Huber Dam will be on the east side of Range Road 131.

For those who wish to contribute in Ben’s memory, a trust fund has been established for Chantel and Shaun.

Contributions may be delivered to Cherie Green, Trustee, Box 823, Castor, AB, T0C 0X0.

Parkview Funeral Chapels and Crematorium (403-882-3141) were entrusted with the care and funeral arrangements.

Playing cards was another great love of hers. As one of her grandchildren, while playing cards, grandma was always trying to help you out by having a peak at your hand (discreetly).

When Grandma and Grandpa lived in Innisfail, garage sales were their favourite pastime. I’m sure we all got in on a garage sale or two with them. Grandma could always be found in the book section.

Grandpa thought he was getting a deal and Grandma would say that he bought another box of junk. Grandma would smile and Grandpa would giggle.

Going for a drive and ice cream was always a treat. If one of the great-grandchildren decided that they didn’t want what they got, grandma would trade with them and everything would be all right.

Grandma always spoiled the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, even when the parents said no.

Jean will always be remembered and loved by her husband, Winton, her daughters Trudy (Gary) Koleyak and their children Michelle (Darrell) Elsbett and Tracie (Brad) Ion; Emily Elliott (Greg) and her children Curtis (Tammy) Elliott, Kim (Chris) Grubisic, and Jody Elliott; Lorrie (Greg) Franz and their children Kevin (Nicole) Franz and Tara (Blake) Brown; Renie (Brian) McAmmond and their children Colin McAmmond and Sheldon (Jenn) McAmmond; Tammie (Lyle) Ebelher and their children Alicia, Temara and Clayton Ebelher.

Rounding out the family are 22 greatgrandchildren; Brady and Tori Elsbett, Decker, Jordie and Payton Ion, Courtney, Colby and Ryan Elliott, Cole Elliott and Isaac and Bensen Grubisic, Jayda and Sienna Elliott, Tanner and Jaden Baumgarten and Kaycee Brown,

Christopher, Mason and Tristan Franz, Aubrey, Devon and Dillon McAmmond.

Jean will also be mourned by her brothers Henry (Betty) Schmidt, Pete (Alaline) Schmidt, her sister Annette Barnes, her brother’s in-law and many nieces and nephews.

Jean was predeceased by their sons, Ralph 1951, Winton 1959; her parents Henry and Emily Schmidt; her sister, Wilma Glasier; Winton’s parents, Joseph and Anna Wangsness, and all of Winton’s siblings.

Wife, Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma — she was the soul of our family, she was strong, loving, kind, always made sure that everyone had everything they needed, she was a go-getter, never taking a break until she was satisfied that others were taken care of.

She taught us all a lot and we will never forget it. We know that she will be looking down on all of us always and protecting the future she helped grow.

Grandma will live within us always and forever, through our hearts, stories, memories and our smiles and laughter.

Thank you, Grandma, for all the life lessons.

Graveside services were held on Saturday, Aug. 2, at 1 p.m. from the Brooks Cemetery and luncheon at EID Legion, with Rev. Kathleen Jones officiating.

In memory of Jean, if friends desire, memorial tributes may be made to the Brooks and District Health Foundation, Bag 300, Brooks, AB, T1R 1B3. Funeral arrangements are in the care of Smith Funeral Home, Brooks. Condolences may be forwarded through www.sfh.ca; toll free 1-866-362-4652.

Producers in Western Canada might want to give winter wheat another look when planning their crop rotation.

“Tremendous progress has been made since the days of Norstar,” says Robert Graf, winter wheat breeder with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) at the Lethbridge Research Centre.

but the only available variety was Norstar – after a stem rust epidemic and droughts in 1988 and 1989, acreage dropped dramatically.”

In the years since, many new varieties of winter wheat have been developed.

Since varieties perform dfifferently across the prairies, Graf’s program has test sites across Western Canada to determine where new lines have the best adaptation.

Graf’s breeding program focuses on agronomy, quality, and disease and pest resistance, striving to incorporate highyield, good winter survival, strong straw, high test weight, and large kernels into varieties that have an appropriate mix of disease resistance and end-use quality that the customer requires.

“We are actively breeding resistance to the following diseases and pests: stem rust, leaf rust, stripe rust, Fusarium head blight, bunt, leaf spotting diseases, wheat curl mite for protection from wheat streak mosaic virus, wheat stem sawfly and Russian wheat aphid,” Graf says.

In terms of quality, Graf’s program is focused on maintaining the positive milling attributes of CWRW but also improving protein concentration, gluten strength, and water absorption so that winter wheat will garner a higher price in the marketplace, he says.

“We’ve come a long way in improving protein concentration and gluten strength, but still have a long way to go with water absorption, although we are making very good progress that should be seen in a few years,” he says.

Since 2008, Graf’s winter wheat breeding program has had support for five new varieties: Broadview (2008), a general purpose wheat targeted towards ethanol manufacture and livestock feed; Flourish (2010) the first of three varieties touted as “CDC Falcon replacements”; Emerson (2011) the first wheat variety in Canada with an ‘R” rating to Fusarium head blight; and AAC Gateway (2012), a line similar to Flourish with intermediate resistance to FHB. These four varieties have particularly good adaptation in the eastern Prairies, shorter season Parkland region and under irrigation. In February 2014, W495 was recommended for registration – it has good adaptation across Western Canada but appears to be particularly well suited for production in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

One possible new variety that excites Graf is W512, a potential Canadian Western Red Winter (CWRW) wheat line he hopes to propose for registration in early 2015, he says.

“Across western Canada, this line has yielded nine per cent more than the mean of the CWRW checks,” Graf says. “Based on 10 station years for both Alberta and Saskatchewan, W512 yielded seven per cent more than Radiant in Alberta and 13 per cent more than CDC Buteo in Saskatchewan.”

Janine Paly, a winter wheat agronomist with Ducks Unlimited Canada, believes that winter wheat is an excellent, highyielding crop for producers.

“The return on investment potential is higher in comparison with a spring wheat,” she says. “In 2013, the average winter wheat producer return on investment in Western Canada was $144.53 per acre, compared to a spring wheat crop that only averaged $70.47 on return.”

This year’s growing season is shaping up, Paly says. In Southern Alberta there was a little more winter kill than a typical year, she noted, but the rest of the province did not experience that much. She also suggested producers be on the lookout for stripe rust that overwintered in Central Alberta and some that has blown up from the United States.

Going forward, the crops look really good, Paly says. “I saw a field yesterday that had just finished flowering. It should be an early harvest this year.”

ABP congratulates CETA on work to complete text

from Grassroots, August 8, 2014 Alberta Beef Producers joins our industry colleagues from across Canada in welcoming the announcement this week that Canada and the European Union (EU) have reached a complete text for a free trade agreement between our country and the EU. This is an important step following the historic Agreement-inPrinciple last October for a Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). After translation and a final legal review, the complete text will form the basis for approval and implementation of a free trade agreement between Canada and the EU. Further developments on this agreement include planning for a Canada-EU Summit here in September and a trade mission to the United Kingdom in early September led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and International Trade Minister Ed Fast.

The CETA provides new duty-free access to the EU for 64,950 tonnes per year of Canadian beef valued at nearly $600 million. The majority of this quota, 50,000 tonnes, is reserved for Canada, while Canada will share the existing 14,950 tonne Hilton quota with the U.S. With this free trade agreement, we believe there is potential to reach 100,000 tonnes per year of duty-free access for Canadian beef. All sales of live cattle and genetics, as well as sales of most beef offals and processed beef products, will also benefit from immediate unlimited duty-free access.

The EU is regarded as the largest and most lucrative market in the world. A free trade agreement with the EU is a

Working together es around power lin

monumental deal that could provide immense benefits for the cattle and beef industry in Canada. ABP has strongly supported the CETA and the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) has actively worked on the development of the CETA from the beginning of negotiations in 2009. We congratulate the federal government on reaching this complete text and thank the Government of Canada, the Alberta government, and CCA for their enthusiastic and diligent efforts to complete this agreement. We urge all federal and provincial governments to move as quickly as possible to approve and implement the free trade agreement.

“They’d only be here for an hour or two, because they drive here. From Provost, it’s an hour, an hour and a half, to get to a lot of the areas, so if they get here by 10:30 in the morning, they’ll be leaving by 2 (o’clock) in the afternoon.”

Coun. Rocky Dahmer made the motion to proceed with the Halkirk-north waterline project, and it was carried unanimously.

County of Paintearth Reeve George Glazier isn’t ready to close the book on local staffing for the Fish and Wildlife enforcement branch office in Coronation.

Glazier told fellow councillors at the Aug. 6 council meeting that he wants to meet with provincial government representatives, ideally at the Alberta Halkirk area gains waterline project municipalities convention in the fall.

The county has awarded a $1.75-million “I think we should try to make an waterline contract. The Halkirk-north appointment,” said Glazier, the project is scheduled to begin in early Coronation-area councillor.
