Road closure challenged by Kneehill residents Debra Johnston

Review Reporter

Caton Korzenowski, a new home owner in Bashaw enjoys halloween and provided an interesting stop for the over 100 treat goers on Oct. 31. Although spending his ﬁrst few years growing up in Bashaw, it’s been 20 years away before returning to the peace and quiet of rural living when he’s not on the road trucking.

Council heard from ratepayer Pat Carney, accompanied by a number of other residents regarding the closure of Range Road 21-3, also known as Rock Hill Road. The road has been closed due to soil erosion and safety concerns. According to Carney, local residents who use the road to transport machinery believe the closure is due to the county wanting to save money rather than safety concerns. He stated that past repairs to the road were improperly done when a 24 inch culvert rather than a 36 inch culvert was installed beneath the road. The ensuing volume of water trying to flow through the smaller culvert caused erosion to the road, explained Carney. According to Carney, the sentiment of residents is “Not favourable at all about how administration is doing things.” He pointed out that the number of times public works has gone out to repair or barricade the road, could have been used to simply fix the road once and for all. “It’s kind of demoralizing to operators to continue to repair the same problem,” Carney said. In response to Carney’s presentation, Reeve Long addressed the costs for repairing the road. An engineering study would cost $209,000 and the estimate to repair the road is $1.7 million, Long stated. Carney questioned the legitimacy of those figures stating that the local farmers would be willing to repair the road themselves if it meant getting it reopened. Currently, residents must detour around range roads and then onto Hwy 27 to access property. Turn to Road, Pg 9

Coronation town council approves curling club funding

eCa review

CoroNatioN/Stettler, ab.

Michael Stamou

Review Reporter

The Town of Coronation unanimously approved a $2,000 request for funding for the Coronation Curling Club at their regular council meeting on Monday, Oct. 27. “The Curling Club is looking to renovate some of the seating in the rink,” said Deputy Mayor Brigley.” “Some of the seats got removed from the curling rink and taken over to the skating rink last year for the provincial championships.” “The club is looking to replace some of seats that are in really bad shape. It’s time, as some of those seats have served their life.” “The club has saved some money through a memorial fund that they will put towards this project and they received another $2,000 grant,” said Brigley. CAO Sandra Kulyk discussed the request and where the funding would possibly come from. “As I have indicated, this would be an extraordinary expenditure that isn’t in the operating or capital budgets for 2014.” “If council does choose to approve the request, the funds need to be allocated from one of the Accumulated Surplus of the General Contingency Capital Restricted Surplus accounts.” “Both accounts have more than sufficient funds to grant the request,” said CAO Kulyk. “Because it is a capital improvement, I would recommend that, if you approve it, the money comes from the Capital Restricted Surplus, which has a balance of $332,212.” There was no further discussion so council unanimously approved Deputy Mayor Brigley’s motion that the Town of

Coronation approve the request for funding from the Coronation Curling Club in the amount of $2,000 for the replacement of the lower level seating, and that the funds be allocated from the General Contingency Capital Restricted Surplus account.

Land Use Bylaw amendment

CAO Kulyk spoke to the agenda item. “As per our previous meeting, we entertained a development permit application for residential property in a highway commercial district. The recommendation was that future considerations we do an amendment to the bylaw and council agreed to proceed, so I have drafted an amended bylaw for the Land Use Bylaw for council to consider that includes the use of residential dwellings existing at the time of the Land Use Bylaw (2009) as a permitted use in a highway commercial district,” said CAO Kulyk. “I have made a recommendation to give first reading as it is an amendment to the Land Use Bylaw and it does require a public hearing.” Deputy Mayor Brigley made a motion to amend the Land Use Bylaw. Coun. Horkoff made a second motion to move first reading of the amended bylaw and Mayor Stannard made a final motion that a public hearing be scheduled. All motions were carried unanimously.

Compensation policy

“Consistent with the policies that were presented at the last meeting, it clarifies and sets out specific guidelines and matters that are related to the compensation policy that were previously buried in that global human resources policy,” said CAO Kulyk.

“My anticipation is, once all of those individual policies have been adopted then I will present a recommendation for you to repeal the old human resources policy.” “Do the people we have meet this criteria?” asked Brigley. “Yes they do and all of the criteria has been reviewed by our department managers,” replied CAO Kulyk. Council unanimously approved the compensation policy.

Communities in Bloom

Council received a letter from Chris and Toni Selzler announcing their resignation from the Communities in Bloom (CiB) committee. Coun. Shelley Cook addressed the letter. “We now have one CiB person and that’s me,” said Cook. “What happened?” asked Coun. Liz Adams. “Chris and Toni have been very busy and they just don’t have time. As for the others, they have left for various other reasons,” said Coun. Cook. “I have scheduled a re-organizational meeting. Hopefully, we get 10 people to come out and join the committee. If we can get enough people, we will keep going.” Coun. Horkoff made a motion that the notice of resignation from Chris and Toni Selzler be accepted with regrets.

Grant application

“All of the communities involved need to write a letter of support so we can move forward,” said Mayor Stannard. There was no further discussion so council unanimously approved Brigley’s motion that the Town of Coronation support the application for funding under the Alberta Community Partnership Grant for a Regional Housing Needs Assessment.

Lightning strike costly for Delburne Debra Johnston

Review Reporter

A faulty ground cable on Delburne’s communications tower appeared to be the reason why a recent lightning strike caused such extensive damage to the tower, shutting down the fire department’s communications system. Delburne’s Deputy Fire Chief Darryl Rinehart presented findings to the council at the Oct. 28 regular meeting. Council carried a motion to pay for the $9,592 in repairs from the fire department’s restricted surplus account. Rinehart suggested that it would be prudent and less expensive to perform yearly maintenance on the tower to avoid future repeats of the damage and requested that the cost be included in the 2015 budget.

Back alleys

Council also received information from Public Works Foreman Gary Rusaw regarding the maintenance of Delburne’s back alleys. Rusaw broke down the costs for one alley that required tree and stump removal, gravelling, sod removal and the costs for the associated equipment and labour. Rusaw indicated that the village could manage to rejuvenate one or possibly two alleys per year with the existing manpower and machinery currently available to public works. The discussion

also covered snow removal from alleys. “The implications are huge,” stated Mayor Reckseidler, regarding the financial costs of proceeding with maintenance. Currently, there are no bylaws requiring that the village maintain the alleys. CAO Karen Fegan indicated that part of the stimulus for the discussion was pressure from ATCO to have access to power lines, which run through the alleys, and that snow removal was a key issue. Rusaw responded by pointing out that some alleys have risers that house utilities going into properties, making it difficult to remove snow safely. Council members considered the fact that the only way to fund alley maintenance was to either divert money from other existing projects, borrow, or raise taxes. Council agreed to receive the information for further consideration.

Assisted living

The Town of Trochu has asked for and will receive a letter of support from the Village of Delburne in its application for a grant from the Affordable Supportive Living Initiative (ASLI) to build a new assisted living facility in the Trochu. If built, the facility will provide additional assisted living housing for the surrounding region as well as the town. Council passed a motion to enter into a new Family and

Community Support Services (FCSS) agreement along with the Red Deer & District FCSS. Members include City of Red Deer, County of Red Deer, Delburne, Elnora, Penhold and Bowden.The new 10-year agreement will become effective Dec. 2, 2014. The previous agreement was for three years. The Red Deer River Watershed Alliance will receive a contribution from the Village of Delburne in the

amount of 50 cents per capita for a total of $415. Council has agreed to purchase an advertisement in the Royal Canadian Legion Alberta/NWT Command’s Military Service Recognition Book at a cost of $445. Council members agreed the advertisement served a dual purpose of supporting the Legion while providing Delburne with effective advertising.

Local collection centre is Stettler Alliance Church, 6109 – 41 Avenue the oﬃce will be open for collection Monday – Friday 8:30 – 4:30 pm and Saturday 12-4pm during national collection week. For info on what to pack in a shoebox visit samaritanspurse.ca

Jason Klaus fires his lawyers ECA rEviEw

Lisa Joy

Review reporter Jason Klaus fired his lawyers in Red Deer Provincial Court on Monday, Nov. 3. Usually saying few words during his court appearances, a talkative Klaus told court that he wants to fire both lawyers, Richard Fritze and Jason Snider, a former Red Deer Crown prosecutor. “Good morning your Honour, Madam Clerk,” started Klaus’ preamble. “I wish to have Mr. Fritze and cocounsel not represent me.” Klaus went on to tell the court that since he doesn’t have representation anymore, he would like to set aside this appearance to Nov. 10 while he goes back to legal aid for assistance. Today Klaus and Frank were supposed to enter a plea and elect how they would like to be tried. The judge asked Klaus if he was firing his lawyers and Klaus responded “yes.” Joshua Gregory Frank appeared alongside Klaus via closed-caption TV from the

Red Deer Remand Centre. Previously there was a no-contact order between Klaus and Frank and they used to appear separately but they are now jointly charged and will be tried together. Robin Mcintyre, student-at-law from Roulston Chow of Calgary, appeared for Frank and told the court that Nov. 10 wouldn’t work for her. Mcintyre also said a preliminary hearing is expected to last two weeks. When Klaus and Frank appeared in court Oct. 6 defence asked the court for an adjournment to Nov. 3 to determine if there was enough evidence for Klaus and Frank to stand trial. Today the judge told Klaus that Nov. 12 would be a better day to reappear rather than the tenth adding that it would ensure he had time to get a new lawyer and not have to attend on Nov. 10 and ask for another adjournment. To that a relaxed looking Klaus agreed with the judge. “You bet, thank you your Honour.” Earlier this month Klaus was denied

The upcoming retirement of the regional fire service co-ordinator, Fred Millar, has Lacombe County planning to eliminate the Lacombe Regional Fire Service Association (LRFS) and replacing it with a regional fire service advisory committee. The partnering communities would still include the Villages of Clive and Alix, Hamlet of Mirror, Towns of Bentley and Eckville, City of Lacombe and Lacombe County. The LRFS, a non-profit society, would be dissolved and an advisory committee created. The committee would oversee regional fire protection services for its partnering departments and an employee hired through the county. The participating municipalities would share in the cost of the position. The county employee could do some

tasks for firefighters such as testing hoses, support the district fire chiefs and would report directly to Lacombe County Manager of Environmental Protective Services. “We need to make things easier for our volunteers,” said Keith Boras, Manager of Environmental and Protective Services, at Lacombe County’s Oct. 23 regular meeting. Each participating municipality would still contribute financially to the regional fire service but would pay Lacombe County instead of the LRFS and City of Lacombe. Councils would work together to set service levels. The structure would also change. The six fire chiefs would report to the fire services manager, who would report to the Lacombe County environmental and protective services manager. Above that would be the county commissioner and at the top, Lacombe County Council. A survey of stakeholders was done and

Clearview picks new chair Submitted On October 23, 2014 at the Clearview Public Schools’ organization meeting, Chair Cheri Neitz was nominated and was acclaimed by all trustees. Out-going Chair Ken Checkel chose not to put his name forward after eight years as the presiding chair since 2006. “It has been a great honour to serve as chair of the Clearview board for the past eight years,” said Ken Checkel. “Clearview has a bright future, with our great staff and a whole new generation of leadership coming forward.” “It is a pleasure seeing Cheri Neitz becoming chair, showing a strong emphasis on people and positivity.” Trustee Checkel will continue to serve as trustee over the next year. Neitz has been a trustee with the Clearview Public Schools since 2007. During her time with the board. She has been a strong supporter of public schools, and has been the Board representative on the Public School Boards’ Association of Alberta (PSBAA) and the Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA). In 2011, Neitz provided herleadership in chairing ASBA Zone 4 for two years, adding her leadership to a group of school boards that meet to discuss and advocate for education issues. Chair Neitz has also been a leader in assisting with a new fieldhouse at the Stettler Complex and more recently on theClearview Communications Committee (now the Communications and Engagement Committee) looking at improving communications in the school division, including the new website and

ideas for a new logo. At the board meeting, Neitz shared her beliefs in education, “Watching children in the classrooms interacting with teachers and peers always instills in me the desire to help our students the best we can.” “I believe educating our youth is essential to the growth of communities. They are vital to our future. We have been given the obligation as parents and leaders to lay the groundwork for our youth to succeed.” Also at the organizational meeting of the board, Vice-Chair John Schofer was appointed. Schofer was re-elected as a trustee from the Botha-Gadsby-Byemoor Ward in 2013 and has been a trustee since 1998 with one term off in 2010-2013. Neitz and Schofer are chairing the board during an exciting time for the Clearview Public Schools. In August and September, the Board of Trustees finalized a set of Board Principals and Priorities after over two years of consultation. Also, the board has requested new superintendent Peter Barron to lead a consultation process for the long term education successes for the four schools in the Town of Stettler. “Interacting with board, the superintendent, staff, parents and community is key to helping our students flourish,” said Neitz. “As board chair, I will work and stand with our board in making crucial decisions. I know those choices affect many lives and livelihoods and every member around this table has an important contribution to make for our Division,” stated Chair Neitz.

bail at a hearing. The reasons for the judge denying bail are under a publication ban. Klaus and Frank were arrested Aug. 15 in connection with the Dec. 8, 2013 deaths of Gordon Klaus, his wife Sandra, and their daughter Monica Klaus. In September Klaus professed his innocence in a phone interview from the Red Deer Remand Centre calling the charges “ludicrous.” But Calgary Major Crimes said they are “confident” they have the two people responsible for the triple homicide on a farmyard east of Castor. The Calgary Medical Examiner’s Office identified the remains of Gordon and his daughter Monica from the completely destroyed farmhouse that was set on fire and smoldered for days preventing investigators from accessing the scene for almost a week. The Klaus family farm was heated with coal and the basement contained coal. Sandra’s remains were never found but police believe she was in the home at the time.

some concerns to the current system included not enough clarity about who is in charge and making decisions, and that fire chiefs don’t have a vote but end up dealing with decisions made by the board. In addition, it was suggested that all fire departments should answer to one board, equipment be standardized at all departments, as well as more training, development and support for fire chiefs and members. There was also interest in having the Town of Blackfalds onboard. They previously opted out of joining. The concept, in principle, has to go back to the individual councils for their approval and from there the county would be able to move forward with the plan potentially being in place by next spring. “Because we are working with partners these things never happen over night,” said Boras. Coun. Rod McDermand said “It’s going to be a working document for a few years.” The model for the new advisory committee would be similar to the regional disaster services model, said Boras. Coun. McDermand said council needs to “roll this thing out so people can understand it.” Lacombe County Council unanimously agreed to have the county commissioner prepare a proposal for fire protection support services.

Wildrose election setback That’s twice! I thought the Wildrose hierarchy would have learned how to run an election after they screwed up in the provincial election two years ago. They should have and could have won that one in a landslide if they had managed the last week of that election like they were 10 points behind instead of trying to coast to a win. Yes, they were competing in four strong PC constituencies and yes the PC’s have an old well oiled ground game that the Wildrose have yet to develop. The simple fact is the Wildrose ran a very unprofessional campaign in those four by-elections. The only strategy that they came up with was to use sharp hard attack advertisements. If you are going to criticize your opponents policy you need to lay out what you would do instead that would remedy the problem. In fact you would be wise to ignore the other parties Schwenk policy and just market you own. It isn’t as if the Wildrose doesn’t have sound policy. If the PC’s had been implementing Wildrose policy the last few years Alberta wouldn’t be in the mess that it is in right now. The first week after Jim Prentice became premier he announced four policy changes that were all Wildrose policy. The first policy change that he announced was to sell the government aircraft. Wildrose had been after the government to do that for some time. Personally I am not in agreement with that policy. The aircraft were not the problem. It was the people [including the then premier Allison Redford] abusing their use that was the problem. Government people do need to get to various functions in a short period of time so the use of an aircraft is essential. The alternative being proposed is to use charter aircraft. By the time the government pays for standby contracts for that service they will spend more than the cost of owning their own aircraft. The second policy change announced

was to cancel the proposed license plate change. The reason that the PC’s wanted that changed was because the logo on the plate said Wild Rose Country. The third Wildrose policy he announced was to cease the closure of the Michener Centre in Red Deer. There would be no more patients removed from the centre and patients that had been relocated could be re-admitted. Fourth policy change he announced was to reopen long term care beds that Alberta Health care had been systematically closing. There are presently 700 active care beds in Alberta being occupied by long term care patients that should be in long term care so the active care beds could be used for active care. The Wildrose campaign team would have been wise to have informed the voters in those byelections that the PC’s were implementing Wildrose policy instead of just using attack ads. The Wildrose election team did not need to waste advertising money to remind people about what they already knew about Allison Redford. There is a serious problem with the management structure in the Wildrose head office in Edmonton. It is absolutely essential that there be drastic changes made if Wildrose is to be a force to be reckoned with in the next provincial election. The Alberta government has a top heavy bureaucracy that really needs to be downsized. Jim Prentice is a progressive, so he is not about to change that. Since he became premier he has announced policy changes with reckless abandonment. His leadership still reminds me of a dictator. Isn’t that how Alison Redford was managing government? Redford did it for personal gratification, Prentice is trying to demonstrate decisive leadership. Either way the government will still be spending more money than it can afford. The only way that will change is to change government. Herman Schwenk Coronation

they toss the word out with no intention to harm in any way, but there are some who know the power of the word and how to use that power to hurt, some are only too eager to use that power. They have their own reasons for wanting to hurt, a lot of the time it is because they cannot accept people who are different than they are, they cannot accept people for who they are no matter what race or religion, and often they know the power of the word because they have felt the pain of it themselves. Sadly, a common reaction to being hurt is the desire to hurt others. I think this is the chain reaction that Eva wants to break when she asks the youth to stop using the word hate.

Hughenden School transformed Strong spirit, keen insight into a ‘correctional facility’ and gentle humour Submitted This past Friday, as it was Halloween, students arrived to the “Hughenden School Correctional Facility”. Staff were dressed up for the part which contributed to the fun for the day. Accolades to student, Reece Marchand, who got up bright and early and painted many of the staff members’ faces. It was fantastic to see so many students dress up. The Senior High Leadership class led a fantastic afternoon of Halloween fun for all students in the school. Last week we had some visitors from Willowtree Daycare come in to elementary classes and do buddy-reading. It was evident that it was mutually enjoyed by all parties. Hughenden School extends a warm welcome to Carmen Lumayko who is an educational assistance joining our staff on Monday. A reminder to all Wildcat families that at the end of the week students will be having an extra-long weekend. Monday, November 10 is a non-instructional day and November 11 is a day when families can partake in a local Remembrance Day Service.

Sympathy to the families Sympathy to the Barry Clampitt family and the Lunde family on the passing of Barry’s sister, Brenda Clampitt of Red Deer. She was a registered nurse in the intensive care unit at the Red Deer Regional Hospital for many years. Her mother, Pat is in the Oyen Lodge. Trenton Lunde and daughter, Tia (9) gave the tribute at the service.

Parent/Teacher interviews are the evenings of Wednesday and Thursday next week. We hope to see a lot of students with their parents come and celebrate learning. In addition, the annual Book Fair will be sponsored in the school library for those looking for some outstanding Christmas gifts or just to add to their home libraries.

info 2 know Chronic Wasting Disease Surveillance Cold Lake

As a deer hunter in Alberta, you play an important role in the province’s chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance program. The government requires CWD testing on all deer harvested within Wildlife Management Units (WMUs): 102, 116, 118, 119, 124, 144, 148, 150, 151, 152, 160, 162, 163, 164, 200, 202, 203, 204, 230, 232, 234, 236, 238, 254, 256, 258, 500, 728, and 730. It is mandatory to submit deer heads harvested in these areas. As in 2013, four voluntary units are identified: 138, 142, 156, and 166.

Senior Angels win league championship Michael Stamou

Review Reporter

The Coronation School senior Angels captured the Highway 12 girls’ volleyball league championship after defeating the Provost Public School Panthers on Thursday, Oct. 30. Both teams came out tentatively; trading points early in the first set but the Angels took the lead with strong serving. The Angels extended their lead by playing strong defensively and winning long rallies. The Angels used their ability and work ethic to take the first set, 25-13. The Angels started the second set with a small lead but gave it away to the Panthers after a number of mental mistakes. The Angels were down by four points when head coach Cam Brown called a timeout. After the timeout, the Angels scored the next four points to tie things up at 15. The Angels re-took the lead 23-20 but Provost didn’t give up, scoring four of the next five points to tie it up at 24. Both teams traded points but the Panthers edged out a 28-26 second-set win. In the third set tiebreak, the Angels jumped out to a 5-1 lead off the strong play of middle Jenna Wuzinski. The Angels never relinquished the lead and they won the third set 15-6. With the

victory, the Angels captured their third consecutive league championship. “In the first set, Wuzinski got rolling and put us ahead. The girls were hitting the floor and diving for loose balls. I was confident in that first set,” said Brown. “I think nerves got to us in that second set. Wuzinski was, once again, great in that third set. She is dynamite and a great player. If she gets rolling and gets the set right, she is as good as anybody we play.” “We are a learning team,” said Panthers head coach Todd Cheram. “And with that you have some flow that changes and you have to be prepared for that. At our skill level, you are going to have that happen. The girls bounced back very well in that second set, got their confidence back and we pulled it out.” “We are pleased when our game flows the way we have it intended to flow so set number one it wasn’t there, set number two it was and the third set it wasn’t,” said Cheram. Brown said he was pleased with his team’s season, the victory and the championship title. “I think this is one of the better teams we have had so it has been nice because we went undefeated in league this year and the girls are playing well, which gives us a big boost in achieving our goal of going to provincials,” Brown said.

Junior Angels advance to next stage Michael Stamou

Review Reporter

Coronation School junior Angels’ volleyball team advanced to the next stage of the league playoffs after defeating the Brownfield Bobcats on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

The Angels came out quickly in the opening set after Angels players Koryn Duncan and Breanne Shaw combined for 11 straight service points to give the Angels a commanding 14-3 lead. The Angels continued their strong serving in the late stages and won the first set, 25-7. In the second set the Angels jumped out

to an early lead due to their strong serving. They jumped out to a 16-6 lead but made some mental mistakes while trying to close out the set. The Bobcats made a small comeback but Duncan had five straight service points to give her team the 25-8 victory. “It was good to see the girls

communicating, working together and they were really clicking. The energy level wasn’t right there but they were playing good, positional volleyball,” said Duncan. “If they keep on doing what they have been doing, they should be fine in the playoffs. There is some tough competition, so the girls will have to have their ‘A’ game.”

second set, jumping out to an early 5-0 lead. Coronation made some mental mistakes, allowing STA to keep it close and tie things up at eight. Halfway through the set, the teams traded points in a back and forth affair but the Saints were able to force a third set after taking the second set, 25-21. The third set was, once again, closely contested as both teams were tied at six halfway through the tiebreak. The Saints pulled ahead 10-6 with their consistent serving but STA was determined and clawed their way back to make it 14-13. The Saints had some difficulty closing

out the match, but managed to after a missed serve by STA for game point. STA head coach Brad Wagner discussed his team’s performance in the championship match. “In the first set, we were getting the pass so we were able to hit and our blocking was in place. In the second set, we started scrambling because we weren’t getting the ball to the centre, so our net play declined,” said Wagner. “We made three serving mistakes and let the ball drop twice. If we got half of those points, it would have been a different game. In the third set, we made some unforced errors,

got into a hole, worked our way back and lost on a serve. It was a good regular season and they were a good group of boys to coach.” Saints head coach Desiree Bargholz explained how her team pulled out the victory. “It wasn’t their best game, but the boys fought hard to get their win. The boys managed to stay ahead of STA for the entire tie breaker, due in part to their consistent serving,” said Bargholz. “With the victory, we will now host the senior boys’ east conference playoffs on Nov. 6.”

Tender bids for a new Kneehill County administration building and medical clinic as well as an addition to the public works shop were opened following the in-camera portion of Kneehill County’s Oct. 28 meeting. Five companies submitted bids for the projects. The top bid was Lear Construction at $8,878,800, followed by Scott Builders $8,806,056, Phoenix Construction $8,275,000, APM

$8,089,000 and Shunda Construction $7,345,000. Council passed a motion to accept the lowest qualified bidder once all bids had been vetted with Coun. Hopkins being the only dissenting vote. Following the vetting of the bids, Shunda was awarded the tender, according to Reeve Bob Long. He stated that Shunda had won the contract because “We’re committed to the lowest bid,” and “We also had no hesitation using Shunda,” as the County has previously worked with Shunda Construction on other projects.

The Veteran School is the ﬁrst to get a ‘Supply Line Discovery Box’ from the Canadian War Museum. It is a travelling box that Veteran School will pass on to the next school in line to receive it. Dr. Paul Kavanagh started ‘Operation Veteran’ with the Canadian War Museum and one important component is the education of youth. A Veteran school class had travelled to Ottawa last year for the Remembrance Day on the hill organized by Dr. Paul Kavanagh for the classes efforts in replacing lost medals for war veteran, Dave Pennington.

Markets experience second perfect storm

Agri-News Cattle markets in Alberta are experiencing the second perfect storm in a decade. “In contrast to the first storm that appeared in the 2000s, this storm is raining big financial gains for the cattle producers who were able to persevere and ride out the last decade of tough times,” says Bruce Viney, risk management specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD), Olds. “Producers now looking to expand their herd are encouraged to take a hard look at past and future opportunities and assess them using a new calculator currently in the producer validation stage from ARD.” Financial losses in the beef cattle sector over the past decade have mainly been blamed on the BSE crisis which severely weakened Alberta prices in relation to the rest of the world, says Viney. “However, there was more to the disaster than just BSE. In fact, the crisis began on September 11, 2001, with the world trade center collapse. This terrorist event initiated reduced business travel and negatively affected restaurant beef demand which quickly turned cattle markets lower for the 2001 fall run. In 2002,

Alberta experienced a widespread drought, feed shortages and extremely high hay prices that were exaggerated as a result of low 2001 hay inventories. This combination of events significantly weakened the financial position of many producers heading into 2003 when the bottom fell out of Canadian cattle markets.” Following the May 2003 BSE announcement, severe financial strain began to mount on producers who had taken on debt or were just entering the cattle business, says Viney. “As borders gradually opened, selling prices were restricted by a large 40 per cent rise in the value of the Canadian dollar. Another wave in the seemingly endless storm of bad news was the long and severe drought in the southern U.S. This drought was a major contributor to low prices as prolonged cow herd liquidation added more beef to the supply chain. “By 2009, even some long-time Alberta producers began throwing in the towel and many good quality mother cows were sold at very low slaughter price levels. Country of origin legislation (COOL) in the U.S. was just one more price insult that didn’t inspire confidence in the

future. Lenders were generally not in the mood to finance cows and many producers were not prepared to see their retirement assets diminish even further. But for young producers entering the business or expanding their herds in 2010, the time could not have been better as the winds gradually began to change.” Today, the storm is blowing the opposite way with a unique combination of positive factors driving cattle prices to record highs. “Cow numbers are at very low levels and the start of herd rebuilding is keeping some heifers out of the beef supply. Competing meat supplies have been reduced due to years of losses in the hog sector and recent pork disease losses in the United States. Feed prices have also declined substantially from the exuberant levels of last few years which is causing a direct impact on our feeder cattle prices. “In addition to the well-advertised supply situation, producers have seen positive price impacts from a Canadian dollar value that has declined by over 15 per cent since 2011. Consumer demand for beef has been very strong due to a better U.S. economy and relatively strong global

Transition planning L. Strom between generations

Custom manure spreading: - equipped for big or small jobs: low sheds and confined areas.

Agri-News One of the presenters at this year’s CowCalfenomics sessions says transitioning the family farm from one generation to the next is never easy, and is something that takes time and preparation. “Finances are important and the most important part of finances is probably living costs for both the retiring and the succeeding family,” says John Reid of Solar Harvest Consulting. “Retirees are living longer, and have things they want to do. This can mean pretty substantive living costs.” Sometimes, the challenges facing the retiring family get lost in the transition period, says Reid. “Retirees are concerned about their legacy – the farm and how they want to see it continue. Many want to travel, or stay active and not totally retired, but not tied down. This all has to be accounted for.” As well, says Reid, transition will not work for the succeeding family if an adequate living is not possible. “As such, it’s vital to know both the real cost of living on the farm/ranch, and the real ability to generate adequate revenue from all of the available sources.” Reid emphasizes that having a will is not the same as having a transition plan. “Wills are important, but are there for when someone passes away,” explains Reid. “What we want to talk more about is what to do when people continue to live. To live well and happily you need more than a will for a plan.” Most of what Reid has to say applies to everyone in general. But he does have one suggestion specific to cow-calf producers. “There is a technique where a farm partnership can be rolled into a company. The time to do that is when your inventory values are high. “Cow-calf producers are now enjoying all-time record high prices for their inventory, and, as such, this is

the ideal time to be taking that step.” Reid is one of the presenters at this year’s Cow-Calfenomics which is being offered November 25 in Medicine Hat, November 26 in Lethbridge, November 27 in Olds, and in three locations in the New Year. To register, call 1-800-387-6030.

economies. This rare combination of reduced supplies and strong demand is making 2014 a great time to be a rancher.” As ranchers think about expanding their herds, planning for both opportunity and downside risk is very important for long-term survival, notes Viney. “Making an investment in breeding stock requires a vision of future prices and an effective long-term plan should things go worse than expected.” ARD currently has a new tool for producers to use in calculating long-term returns to a beef cow or heifer investment. The tool is an Excel spreadsheet template that calculates production costs, cash flow and return to equity given various bred stock prices and future calf selling prices. A free test version can be obtained by sending a note to bruce. viney@gov.ab.ca. “All producers are encouraged to look and learn from the past, assess the tremendous opportunities on the horizon, and make a plan to thrive and survive of the next decade,” concludes Viney. “But, most of all, producers are encouraged to enjoy the day. This storm has been a long time coming.”

Nutrient management and short term manure shortage Agri-News When it comes to getting the most benefit from using short-term solid manure storage sites, it starts with following the regulations and selecting the best possible site. One of the advantages to using shortterm manure storage is financial. “A few operations are using short-term manure storage to reduce manure application costs” says Trevor Wallace, nutrient management specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD), Leduc. “These operations are using large end dump trucks to move manure to the field, where it is stored in a short-term pile, before being reloaded and spread. Often they position the manure down the centre of the field and when they spread the manure, the spreaders operate from the storage pile out to the edge of the field and back. The spreaders then don’t leave the field, and aren’t empty for any great period of time, helping to increase the efficiency of the applicator. Time is spent spreading manure, not travelling empty. This helps to save money. “Another advantage of short-term manure storage is the added flexibility in the operations manure management system. Using short-term manure storage allows operations to clean out manure from pens or permanent storages when conditions for removal minimize damage to the liner, when timing is convenient for cleaning or before road bans are in effect.” Using short-term manure storage can help to reduce pen and road damage while staging the manure in or near the field in preparation for spreading when conditions are right. “When selecting a site for short-term manure storage you need to evaluate the surface water flow of the site,” says Wallace. “You want to select a location that does not flood, that if the conditions are wet you can still access with

equipment, and select a location where all runoff is retained in the field.” Another very important consideration is selecting a site that does not create a nuisance, says Wallace. “When selecting a location consider the neighbours. Select a site so that it won’t cause traffic or visibility issues or that could interfere with sight lines at intersections. Avoid, if possible, placing the short-term manure storage close to public gathering places and neighbours. If that’s not possible, use setbacks to reduce potential conflict.” Wallace adds good site selection will also guard against nutrient losses. “Ideally, you’re picking an area in the field which doesn’t flood or one where runoff is retained in the field otherwise nutrients can potentially be carried from the site,” says Wallace. “You will also want to move the short-term manure pile around to different locations. Using the same location year after year will create nutrient hot spots in the field that may lead to crop lodging or increased nutrient loss. So, moving that short-term storage to a new location is a great way to take advantage of the nutrients deposited on the site. Record, on a map or using GPS, where you had the short-term manure storage so you are confident you are selecting a new site in the future.” For more information on short-term manure storage, Wallace says there are a lot of resources and tools available. “You can always call the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM to talk to one of the CFO extension specialists. They can answer questions or even give you a second opinion on a site. As well, Agri-Trade is coming up in November and we’ll have the CFO extension specialists there, and there’s a manure management update in Lethbridge in January. There are also other farmers at these events that can be a great source of information as well.”

Rural economic development

by Verlyn Olson, Q.C. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development On Oct. 28, Premier Prentice and I released the Rural Economic Development Action Plan. The Action Plan is a blueprint for future rural economic success in Alberta. It lays out clear strategies and specific actions that build on the strength of Alberta’s rural economy by linking existing resources and organizations, increasing infrastructure capacity, and ultimately growing our provincial economy. The Action Plan focuses on five key themes that resonated with our stakeholders: Industry and Business Development Financial and Capital Access Attraction, Retention and Entrepreneurial Development Rural Business Infrastructure Capacity Regional and Cross-Regional Collaboration As part of the Action Plan roll-out we announced immediate first steps, like increased funding for the Agriculture Opportunity Fund which will support industry and business development and changes to the Feeder Association Loan Guarantee Program which will double the maximum individual loan limit to $1 million. Our hosts for the Action Plan release, MacKay’s Ice Cream in Cochrane, are a made-in-Alberta success story… with a delicious made-in-Alberta product. MacKay’s is a great example of a rural Alberta entrepreneurship at its best, where the family business has steadily grown from a small storefront and the local community has created a unique small-town tourism district. Cochrane and its economic success is a great example of regional business collaboration… helping to ensure the long term

viability of the local economy by making Cochrane a destination for weekend getaways, and a stop for travellers en route to the Rocky Mountains. It’s the kind of entrepreneurship and collaboration that we are looking to foster in rural Alberta to benefit our rural communities, our economy and all Albertans. A lot of work went into building the Action Plan. The Rural Economic Development Task Force, including MLAs Hector Goudreau, Jacquie Fenske, Ken Lemke, Bridget Pastoor, and myself, held a series of consultations with over 200 stakeholders in eight rural communities across the province this spring. We discussed priorities, identified opportunities for growth and job creation, and looked for ways to better coordinate current programs and services to enhance rural economic development. We talked, and mostly listened, to the suggestions from economic development organizations, area associations and citizens about how to best address the economic needs of our rural communities. We are all from rural Alberta and know the joys and challenges first-hand. During the discussions, our stakeholders told us how essential it is for government, industry and communities to work together to ensure existing programs and services are coordinated so that they are delivered effectively and efficiently. The resulting Action Plan is grounded in a long-term vision for rural Alberta, recognizes the unique circumstances in different regions of this province and lays the groundwork for successful and sustainable economic growth in our rural communities.

Review Reporter

Children’s Fitness Tax Credit to be doubled and made refundable by Kevin Sorenson, MP Crowfoot Since 2006, our Conservative Government has provided families direct support that has given every parent in Canada (including shift workers) $100 a month to help raise a child six years of age or under. Today, we continue our efforts to strengthen the family unit and provide parents with useful tools to raise their children. Mom and Dad can truly choose what is best for their children. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced our Conservative Government’s intention to double the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit (CFTC) and make it refundable. The maximum amount of expenses that may be claimed under the credit will be doubled from its current $500 limit to $1,000 for the 2014 tax year and subsequent tax years, and the credit will be made refundable effective for the 2015 and subsequent tax years. Our government is on track to eliminate

the annual federal budgetary deficit in 2015. I am pleased that helping our youngest generation begin healthy and physically active lives is one of the first steps we are taking as Canada moves to a financial position of ‘balanced books’. Many of you will recall that the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit was also one of the first measures we implemented after forming government in 2006. It was introduced in our first budget in 2006 to help promote physical fitness among children by making it more affordable for Canadian families to register their kids in fitness activities. We also provided the Universal Child Care Benefit and the Children’s Arts Tax Credit. When fully implemented, the proposed enhancements to the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit will deliver additional tax relief to about 850,000 families who enroll their children in eligible fitness activities. This tax credit currently provides 1.4 million families with total tax relief of approximately $115 million per year.

it did, because we didn’t even have land available until late spring. We have a good landowner who has been willing to work with us,” he said. “For the most part, we are pleased with how quickly we have been able to actually get the land and move forward with construction and get the project underway. Unfortunately, because we had tried to rush this project we weren’t able to work with the utility companies well enough in advance to get them to make their adjustments under their timeframe. That is not an uncommon issue between the two parties.” Peterson said construction crews will have a winter shutdown, as part of the project can’t be constructed. “We are hoping to have the project completed by the end of this season but

unfortunately, we have some utility issues that haven’t been rectified yet so the project will likely carry on until the late spring next year,” he said. “By the time the snow flies, the actual site and the south ramp will be built but the north ramp will not be because that is where the utilities will run through. Any work associated with that ramp, which actually includes some of our own electrical work and the other utility work, will probably carry over until the spring. There is some work that can be competed during the winter, including the installation of the scale. Our hope is that the project will be entirely completed by the end of spring. We are pleased (with the progress to date) and are looking forward to getting the project completed.”
