play that piano,” said Brenda Grant, Dietary Aid for the lodge. “It’s been great to see.” Shirley Brodersen who lives at the lodge played some songs for residents who had gathered to listen. “It’s been wonderful to have the piano,” she said when she stopped. “It’s great when you can play with someone else,” she said as she nodded at Kaye Taylor who was accompanying her on her own keyboard that she brought in. Taylor, who lives in Castor, said she comes in when she can to play music along with whomever is on the piano. The piano was bought with funds obtained through donations and with the help of an investment fund from a donation left by a former resident of the lodge. Baldwin explained that the donation stipulated that the principal of the donation never be touched and only the interest of the funds could be used and must be used to buy something that will benefit all residents who live there. Residents who were sitting listening to the concert being held said that anyone can sit down and play. “It’s wonderful to have music for everyone,” said resident of the lodge Mrs. Hewitt.

It’s often said that music is food for the soul and that it does us a world of good. The residents of the Paintearth Lodge in Castor would agree. The supportive living complex where the seniors live can often be found to be filled with music and that is in part to the baby grand piano that came to them on April 30. The up right piano that they had before was old and didn’t always sound the way it should so when the lodge found out that Rene Bernard in Stettler was moving and needed to sell his baby grand piano the lodge jumped in. Jackque Baldwin, manager of the lodge explained that when they found out about the baby grand they had to move quickly. “We found out just five days prior to him needing it gone,” she said and so they borrowed a trailer and brought it to the lodge. The piano, with it’s shiny, polished wood stands majestically in a corner of the lodge’s sitting room and staff who work there said that there is often someone on it and that even visitors will sit down and play. “Residents who hadn’t played in a long time now

Minimum wage increase will raise retail prices and could cost jobs Beth Causley

ECA Review Reporter Can you imagine trying to make ends meet on a job that pays $10.20 an hour or lower? For many Albertan’s this is a reality but the newly elected NDP has changed that by increasing the minimum wage in Alberta to $15 an hour. The reaction from small business owners was that the hike in wages would hurt their businesses so the NDP said that in the first year they won’t increase it as much as they could but will rather do it gradually, in stages. On October 1 the government will increase minimum wage by a dollar making it $11.20. Liquor servers who currently have a

lower minimum wage will see it go up a dollar and a half to $10.70 the same day. In 2016 the NDP will increase the wage more and there will be one minimum wage set for all, including bar staff and by 2018 the $15 per hour increase will be in effect. Dale Brigley, owner of R. E Brigley & Sons gas station said that as a business the increase in wages means increase in retail to make up for it. “The consumer always pays in the end,” he said, explaining that it doesn’t matter if it’s an increase in gas or in wages, the cost has to be covered somewhere. While he will have to examine things more closely, Brigley said that he might have

to cut hours or that he might be forced to install self serve pumps. Jodie Belanger who works at Family Foods in Coronation and started her job at minimum wage, thinks that the increase is quite drastic. She said that the employees were talking about it and the worry was for their boss and their jobs. Belanger explained that if their boss had to cut hours to be able to make up the money needed to cover the wage increases, then it will either be herself or a colleague that will pay that price. The work that should have been done by by the employee who’s hours get cut will see the work fall onto other people.

“It shouldn’t be about more money for us because it will put other people out of work,” she said. Belanger said she didn’t know how it would affect the city but in rural Alberta

Provost RCMP were advised that 14 rented sheds at the Provost & District Golf Club were broken into sometime during the early morning of June 30. An RCMP report stated that all owners of the sheds had been notified and that golf clubs were reported missing. The investigation is ongoing and RCMP is asking anyone who may have information regarding this occurrence to contact them.

Beth Causley The Coronation RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in three separate incidents. A rural residence on Township Road 383 in Halkirk was broken into on June 26 between the hours of 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. The suspect(s) drove up to the house in an unknown vehicle and forced entry into the residence through locked doors. Items stolen include cash and a Hugo Boss watch with a white face and black numbers. In the second incident, a hit and run occurred between the hours of 9 p.m. on June 25 and 1 p.m. on Friday, June 26. A white SUV was parked on the corner of 50 street in Castor near the Water Treatment Plant and was struck on the driver’s side front end bumper where it sustained damage. In the third incident RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance to identify those responsible for stealing full gas cans in the town of Halkirk, Alberta over the last several weeks. The suspect(s) have been breaking into locked garden sheds and garages. Some of the gas cans have been recovered empty around the Halkirk Recreation Grounds.

where few jobs are available now, she worried about the effect it would have with fewer jobs being available because small business owners can not afford the wages.

adding airplane gas pumps, Bernard has dedicated himself to promote the airport as a family fun place to come and see his collection of fun vehicles, including aircraft. All of this is to entice people to come to the airport in hopes of breathing new life into it. “You have to have things here to bring people to the airport,” he said adding that he also has a courtesy car that aviators can use when they fly into the airport in hopes that people will go into the town of Forestburg to spend money.

ECA Review Reporter Most people know Sven Bernard as the “motorcycle guy” in reference to the work he does on motorcycles in Heisler but he’s now getting known as the guy that saved the Forestburg airport. Originally from Ft. McMurry, Bernard retired from work at Chrysler and moved to Heisler, where he sits on council. He found out that the Forestburg airport wasn’t being utilized and it needed some revamping so he approached the town of Forestburg and asked if he could lease it and told them that he would do and pay for all maintenance at the airport. Along with cleaning up the grounds and fixing up the airport, including

He has a collection of cars and motorcycles for sale as well as a single-seater Challenger 1 clipped wing special aircraft at the airport. The people who camp at the airport and those that come out for the day bring their own things-that-move including powered paragliders that were at the airport for the weekend of July 4 that saw powered paraglider enthusiasts gather together. Bernard says the airport is open to everyone at all times as he even sleeps there.

Coronation U14 Steelers take silver in provincial championships in Calgary by Coach Tracy Ramsay The Coronation Steelers U14 girls softball team participated in the Provincial Championships in Calgary on July 3-5. They won all four of their qualifying games with Sedgewick, Olds, Westlock and Calgary. As first place winners in their pool, they advanced to the semi-finals to play Airdrie in which they played a great game to win a position in the finals. The final game was an intense game against Calgary. The girls put up a good battle but came out as proud silver medalists. It was a fantastic season.

This team played 36 games and won 31 of them. The Steelers won the Flagstaff league with zero losses. They also took home two golds and a bronze at tournaments. Along the way, many other coaches, players, umpires and fans commended our team on their great talent, sportsmanship and team spirit. They always had fun! These girls represented their communities of Coronation, Castor, Consort, Brownfield, Veteran and Halkirk extremely well and the coaches, families and fans are so very proud of each player. 3,2,1...Steelers....stole it!!

Frank Hymers along with grandson Bret and wife Julie from south of Botha took part in the Klondike Days parade in Donalda on July 4. ECA Review/B.Causley

Health decentralization being scrapped by NDP government by Drew Barnes, MLA for Cypress-Medicine Hat and Wildrose Shadow Minister for Health. In my new role as the Wildrose Shadow Minister for Health, I will be working to see that the change voters want from their government extends to a health care system that so many feel is on the wrong track. While Albertans are supportive of a health system that provides service for all, they expect to see quality results for their tax-dollars spent. The system costs more and more each year – inflating at a rate higher than annual inflation plus population growth – while producing mediocre results. Alberta is not a Canadian leader in health care despite our second-highest per capita spending. We owe it to Albertans to do better. Given the NDP’s enthusiasm for change on the campaign trail, I was disappointed to learn that they will be scrapping a proposed move towards decentralization and enhanced local decision-making. We have all heard at the doorsteps and at public forums about how badly the system needs to be changed and improved. More of the same is not the solution. I believe the move toward centralized health care, brought in by previous administrations approximately seven years ago, has seen our poor trends in health care accelerate.

Joyce Webster Publisher/Editor publisher@ECAreview.com

The system has been become topheavy, inefficient, and bloated with too many managers and too many layers of bureaucracy. Many residents of rural Alberta have seen the inefficiencies of centralization firsthand. And many of us in rural communities and smaller cities have seen local services suffer under the weight of a top-heavy, centralized system that no longer seems accountable to our needs or concerns. Wildrose believes nobody is more equipped or better understands local priorities like the people closest to the ground: the local residents, the frontline workers and local decision-makers. Over the coming months and years, I will be advocating for the empowerment of front-line workers and communities to find efficiencies in the system. I will be will seeking creative ways to take strain off of our acute care and ambulance services. I will challenge this government to create a health system that actually puts patients at the centre, because a truly responsive system is one that recognizes the value of the patient’s time and strives not to waste it. We have the opportunity to do things differently and follow up the change we made to our government with real, constructive change to our health services.

‘Spin’ has platform collapsing, rather than a ‘hanging’ Cont’d from Pg 6 One famous apocryphal story about political spin concerns a well-known U.S. politician whose great-great uncle was hanged as a horse thief and robber. The only known photograph of the uncle has him standing atop the gallows. On the back of the picture, under his name, were the words: “Horse thief. Sent to Territorial Prison 1885. Escaped 1887. Robbed the railway express car six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives. Convicted in 1889 and hanged.” Years later, the politician who knew all about spin tried to rehabilitate the image of his notorious relative. In a formal statement, he said his great-great uncle “had been a famous cowboy whose business empire

grew to include the acquisition of valuable equestrian assets, and intimate dealings with the railway company. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, he passed away during an important civic function held in his honour, when the platform upon which he was standing at the time, collapsed.” Can anyone imagine this kind of spin taking place in Alberta? Recently, it was reported that the NDP government had inherited a one-year budgetary surplus

‘Do you remember’ Cont’d from Pg 8 Lisa, daughter of Dan Knudtson who owns the Coulee Trading Company in Donalda, said that most of the items in their store come to them with a story attached as they are sourced locally and with their family being in the area since the early 1900’s, they know a lot of history. That includes the “barn board” Dan uses to make furniture and other pieces of art that are incorporated into the store. Made from the wood of old buildings like barns, Lisa says her father likes to get the story and a picture, if possible, of the building before it

is knocked down. In his shop adjacent to the original Central Garage built in 1933 that now houses the Coulee Trading Company, he sands down the wood and builds furniture and hand crafted pieces of art including cabinets, head boards and even a fireplace surround from the recycled wood. Often when you walk through an antique store you can hear people exclaiming “do you remember this? In answers to questions like this its possible to learn about items that either you never knew existed or it will renew the importance and pride at

of over $1 billion from the PCs. The NDP said that was good. Wildrose immediately cried foul because in fact, Alberta ended the year with a cash deficit of $1.35 billion. Here’s where the spin comes in: Former premier Alison Redford wanted to be seen as a fiscal conservative. Yet she refused to control spending, and therefore couldn’t balance the budget. Instead, she decided that spin would give her what she wanted. Redford split the government’s finances into separate, and different, budget components. One budget covers operational spending. A second covers capital spending. To understand exactly what Redford did, imagine a one-income family with two budgets. The capital budget lists the car and mortgage payments. The operational budget lists day-to-day expenses. Now imagine that this family tells their banker that they have a $1,000 a month operating surplus, while failing to mention that the “surplus” is in the operating budget only, while the capital budget has a monthly deficit of $2,000. This sort of “spin” budgeting was a shenanigan of the PC government. The NDP knew it. Yet, when told of the

Producers dealing with dry conditions Agri-News A dry spring and below normal precipitation levels in much of Alberta have resulted in farmers and ranchers facing challenging crop and pasture conditions, especially in the Central and Peace regions of the province. Although recent precipitation has improved soil moisture ratings and sustained crop development in some areas, precipitation has been spotty causing an uneven germination, especially on late seeded crops. A number of tools and resources are available to producers to assist them with managing their farm operations.

Online Resources

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry posts regular crop reports and soil moisture condition updates on its website www.agric.gov.ab.ca to ensure producers have current information about growing conditions in their area. In addition, a number of information resources are available to support producers in their decision making. The information includes: • Planning and preparing for dry conditions • Forage, hay and pasture management • Crop management

• Livestock management • Programs and services to help manage business challenges Alberta Agriculture and Forestry also manages a water pumping program in place to assist producers experiencing water shortages for domestic and livestock use.

Business Risk Management Programs

There are a number of existing business risk management programs that are designed to assist producers facing challenging growing conditions. The primary AgriInsurance product available to annual crop producers through the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) is Production Insurance. Producers are insured for 50, 60, 70 or 80 per cent of their individual normal yield history. Generally, if yields fall below this level payments are triggered. AgriInvest is a matching-deposit based program for producers. The program is administered by the federal government and assisted by AFSC. Participating producers can withdraw funds to cover margin declines or to invest in activities that will improve farm income. The AgriStability program

also provides support for participating producers against a significant decline in farm margins for their whole farming operation. AgriStability is funded in accordance with the Growing Forward 2 (GF2) Framework agreement, with the Government of Canada covering 60 per cent and the Government of Alberta covering 40 per cent of AgriStability claim payments. For more information call the Ag-Info Centre at 310 FARM.

Feeding in a dry year Designing or developing a feeding management program requires a 365day focus that includes pasture and winter-feeding management. This is particularly important this year because of the dry conditions that have dramatically reduced the amount of forage growth in pastures and hay land. “Getting the cow through summer in good body condition and maintaining calf growth rates is the first step,” says Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist, Alberta Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “Nutritional requirements of a lactating cow are 25 per cent higher than a cow in mid-pregnancy. If the cow does not consume sufficient

energy and protein because of limited forage availability, milk production will be reduced. For a young calf, it takes seven pounds of milk to provide enough nutrients to have the calf grow by one pound.” If cows are thin or thinner than what is wanted, supplementing grain or higher quality pellets on pasture is an option. “Feeding three to five pounds of grain every second or third day improves the energy intake of the animal and reduces the amount of forage the cows will eat. If calves are alongside the cow, they will try to eat the grain as well. Turn to ??, Pg 14

Consider weaning calves

Cont’d from Pg 13 Providing grain or pellets to the calves on the ground makes the transition to a creep feeder easier. After the calves learn what grain is, scattering some grain around the creep feeder will entice them to eat out of a creep feeder. Calves can start receiving a creep ration at 50 to 60 days of age. One research paper says that the difference in weight gain was up to 125 pounds when creep feed was supplied to the calves.” If cow condition does not improve, or if the calves do not seem to be growing as well as they should, says Yaremcio, wean the calves. The digestive system of a calf is fully functional at 150 days of age and can be weaned as long as they are fed a good quality hay and a grain/protein supplement mix to maintain calf growth rates. “It is important that a thin cow puts on weight and improves body condition prior to the onset of colder temperatures. One body condition score change is roughly 200 pounds. A cow that is in body condition score 3 going into winter (compared to body condition score 2) requires1,400 pounds less hay to meet energy requirements to keep warm let alone put on weight.” Improved body condition also improves reproductive efficiency. “Cows in good body condition cycle sooner after calving and have a higher

first service conception rate compared to thin cows,” says Yaremcio. “The goal is to have 70 to 75 per cent of the calves born in the first cycle or 21 days of the calving season. A calf born 21 days earlier than another animal and maintains a growth rate of two pounds per day should weigh 42 pounds more than the calf born one cycle later in the calving season. If a 650 lb. weaned calf is worth $2 per pound, the cash value of the calf born earlier in the season is $84 higher than the younger lighter calf.” For further information, call the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).
