No tax break Brenda Schimke

ECA Review Reporter County of Stettler councillors, at their regular meeting on July 3, 2013 said “no” to a request by the Court Appointed Trustee for Pheasantback Golf and Country Club Ltd. for a reduction or discount in the amount of property taxes owed.

The request was made because the offer to purchase was lower than anticipated which would result in a significant shortfall to priority creditors. The total amount outstanding is $83,981 which represents a significant amount of revenue for the County of Stettler.

Water connections Approval was given to offer a water connection to those ratepayers, within one mile, who have expressed interest in connecting to the County of Stettler Rural Water Distribution system off the SMRWSC Regional water line (Stettler to Donalda and Stettler to Big Valley). This

Once approved, any new multi-lot residential, recreational or commercial unit development application in the South Shore Growth Node Plan area will require a plan addressing proposed land uses; distribution of the overall development density; transportation improvements; water, wastewater and storm water management requirements; recreation/open space; and strategies for protecting water bodies and wildlife habitat.

HARDISTY

‘Compassionate Earth Walk’ kicks off Logan Taylor

ECA Review Reporter Four visible police vehicles heavily monitored the highway around the Hardisty tank farm on July 8 when three women began trekking southbound from the tank farm, led by retired social worker, author and Zen Buddhist Priest Shodo Spring.

This is the beginning of a long journey for Shodo, a 65 year old grandmother of four.

Shodo intends to roughly follow the 2000 kilometre route of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline to Steele City, Nevada. Shodo calls her journey the “Compassionate Earth Walk” and is joined by people from a diverse variety of backgrounds-- education, journalism, engineering and priesthood, to name a few. Her interfaith and intercultural group currently has six members but it grows and shrinks depending on how much time each individual has commited to walk with Shodo.

When asked why she started the walk, she said she was inspired by her grandchildren.

“What could possibly be done to save the world for them,” said Shodo. “People should be able to have a good life and also take care of the planet for their grandchildren.”

This walk is not an anti-oil protest but rather a call for sustainability in all industries on behalf of the future generations.

Laura Whitney, president of the

non-profit Ojai Foundation and educated in film and anthropology, is one of Shodo’s companions.

“We are dedicated to deep listening to the people and the environment along the trail and asking questions for the future generation,” said Whitney.

A possible documentary on the “Compassionate Earth Walk” is in the making. Members also plan to host public events along their journey.

CLEARVIEW SCHOOLS

Implementing leadership program Ken Checkel, Chairman Clearview School Board In September 2013, the Stettler Elementary School and Stettler Middle School will be under the shared leadership of Principal Sharon Fischer.

With the reorganization, Stettler Elementary School and Stettler Middle School maintain current teacher time in the 2013-2014 school year and will continue to focus on providing the best available teachers to our communities’ children.

This also means the middle school will share the elementary gym space, which will help tremendously with delivery of the physical education program.

Staff in both schools are ready to implement the ‘Leader in Me’ initiative, a program based on Steven Covey’s “Seven Habits of Success” model specifically designed for schools.

Sixteen classrooms will be participating in the program starting next school year, and all staff from both schools will participate in “Seven Habits of Highly Effective

People” training in August.

On August 30, the 16 staff who will be implementing the program in the 2013 2014 school year will get further training at the “Leader in Me” program.

The local Kinettes offered to sponsor one classroom up to $750 to help with the program.

Kindergarten enrollment is currently at 71 students for the fall. Kindergarten will consist of two programs that run five full days per week and two programs that run three full days per week. Parents can choose from Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

There is still room in both the five day and three day programs for further enrollment. Please contact Clearview Public Schools at 403-742-3331 for registration information.

All Gotta Go! “Your Crap is Our Business!”

Calvin & Rita Foot would like to announce the SALE of All Gotta Go Ltd. to Conrad and Brenda Vegter.

Same name, same number, different location.

All Gotta Go will be operating out of Stettler, AB. We would like to thank all our patrons over the past 7 years.

We have built many wonderful relationships over this time, and are pleased to place you in the hands of Conrad and Brenda.

They look forward to your continued support.

Justin Schedlosky attempted to steal second base while playing Spring Lake July 9 at Burma Park. Coronation played Spring Lake in the league playoffs. They won their first game 8 7 in extra innings and then lost the second game 8 - 4, taking them into a deciding third game, which they lost 10 - 9, resulting in the end of league play. The Coronation Men’s team also played in Castor Men’s Ball Tournament July 12 - 14 and came in second place losing to Rosalind 6 - 3 in the A-Final.

SLAP SHOTS

SPORT Inbee Park chasing SPORT Shorts major golf history Shorts • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “The Panthers made Finnish centre Aleksander Barkov the No. 2 overall pick in the amateur hockey draft. He is 17 but said to be ready for the NHL. At 17, I wasn’t even ready to decide between a Whopper and a Big Mac.” • Cote again: “The Texas Rangers signed Manny Ramirez, 41, to a minor-league contract.

Remember when ‘Manny Being Manny’ was sort of charming? At this point, Manny being still here is sort of annoying.”

• Currie again: “Breaking news: In a freak playbook mishap, Bombers quarterback Buck Pierce ran into a bookmark and is out for the season.”

• Another one from Currie: “Sources say Helsinki hockey team Jokerit will join the KHL in 2014. Jokerit? Who’s their arch-rival, Gary Batman?”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “The new turf at Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium is 35 degrees cooler than the old turf. For those of you unfamiliar with the way we do things in Nebraska, selecting turf for our football field is similar to choosing a new governor, only 10,000 times more important.”

Bruce Penton

ECA Review Columnist The most dominating athlete in 2013 anywhere in the world — any sport — is South Korea’s Inbee Park on the Ladies Professional Golfers’ Association tour.

In early August, at the Old Course at St. Andrew’s Scotland, Park will go for golfing history when she attempts to win her fourth consecutive major championship, the 2013 women’s British Open.

Park had one major to her credit going into 2013 (she won the 2008 U.S. Open). But this year, she has stepped above the crowd and is becoming a household name among those who follow golf, and is even getting recognition from mainstream (non-golf) media outlets.

Winning three tournaPenton ments in a row is amazing.

Winning three majors in a row is almost unprecedented on the LPGA circuit. You may have heard of Tiger Woods, who won four straight men’s majors over two years and got a little bit of publicity as a result. The only other woman golfer to win three majors in one season was Babe Zaharias in 1950.

So Park’s performance this year has brought some wonderful attention to the LPGA. ‘Grand slam’ talk is everywhere but even if Park wins the British, she still won’t have the ‘slam’ because there are five major tournaments in the women’s pro game. The Evian Masters, in France in September, was recently granted ‘major’ status, so a Grand Slam now consists of five majors. Hardly fair, but what an accomplishment it would be if Park can somehow win at St. Andrew’s Aug. 1-4 and follow it up with a victory in France. Her smiling face would be everywhere — TV, magazines, newspapers, cyberspace. To the LPGA Tour, it would be Lindbergh crossing the Atlantic, Armstrong walking on the moon. Five majors in one year — wow!

Among those excited about Park’s run are her LPGA colleagues. “ It’s great what she’s doing,” said American Stacey Lewis, displaced in April

by Park as the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world.

“It’s creating a lot of headlines for us, which is good.”

Another American, Paula Creamer, said Park’s incredible run is raising the LPGA bar: “It’s elevating all of us. It’s where we need to be.

If we’re not, she’s going to leave us all in the dust.”

That cloud of dust is definitely forming.

• Dickson again: “According to reports, David Beckham turned down an offer to try out for an unnamed NFL team. Considering he’s a 38-year-old man who’s never played the sport, I think we can narrow it down to the Jets and -- well, it must’ve been the Jets.”

• Another one from Dickson: “Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen took their kids to Disneyland. Someone asked Brady if he wanted to see Grumpy and Snow White. His response: ‘Belichick and Tebow are here?’ “ • Headline at SportsPickle.com: “NFL announces deal with Lexington National Bail Bonds to become the official bail bonds of the NFL.” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “No truth to persistent rumors of a 5.2 earthquake in Cleveland last Sunday. Alas, it was just Prince Fielder stealing second against the Indians.”

• Perry again: “Canadian curler Matt Dumontelle (the fifth man on Brier winner Brad Jacobs’ rink) has been suspended for two years after testing positive for an anabolic steroid. Suspicions were aroused when he started chucking his stones overhand.”

We want our historical agriculture farm restored Dear Editor, Our historical farm between Devon and Calmar, Rd W4-50-26-17-SE that has been in the Bilozer name for 96 years is now destroyed thanks to Imperial Oil, Alberta Environment and The Regional Health Authority.

What used to be good agriculture land is now a contaminated land fill. The water and land is now all contaminated. We could never build a home here and live on our farm. Our family is stuck with this contaminated destroyed farm for life because no bank will ever give a mortgage or loan to anyone if we ever wanted to sell it.

In 1970 Imperial Oil burnt brush in a off lease private land area without testing the soil. The fire ignited the under lying peat moss resulting in a slough.

The land owner at the time, Natala Bilozer, wanted it restored but instead a documented report recently received states the Alberta Environment and Regional Health Authority gave the approval for Imperial Oil to use our farm for a contaminated concrete pit waste disposal site.

They have buried contaminated concrete pump jack pads, various sizes of steel cable covered in black sludge, timber and metal conduit without the knowledge or consent of the landowner at the time, Natala Bilozer.

This is illegal dumping on private off lease land. According to documents we have on this site in 1982 there was a pipeline break that was never cleaned up and another in 1992 that was never reported or cleaned up.

We have stressed many times that we want this all removed and cleaned up. We have had several meetings with Imperial Oil and Alberta Environment over the years but they are all not willing to address our concerns. They just keep saying they need to do more testing to finish the chapter in their book. We believe their book is complete. We have 19 reports from various companies and 41 documents on the Alberta web site ESAR. They have done 101 boreholes 31 test pits and 18 monitoring well on this site alone.

We had a meeting with Minister McQueen in December 2012. She has not yet responded back to us since our meeting. She brushed us off the minute she

left that meeting. Obviously she doesn’t care that her department has destroyed our land that is in her Constituency.

We have asked the Alberta Environment and Minister McQueen to enforce Imperial Oil to dig out and clean up this contaminated waste disposal area

but they don’t seem willing to do this. We have three letters that Alberta Environment wrote to Imperial Oil over the years requesting them to clean this area up but they have never enforced these letters. They just write these letters to the oil companies but they never

enforce them.

It’s about time all parties involved step up to the plate and take responsibility.

Quit denying that you never did this and dig out your contaminated waste disposal site.

OBITUARY

Thurs. - Coronation, Viking, Hardisty

Raised purebred Hereford cattle and loved grain farming Arthur Mattheis passed away on July 9, 2013 at the age of 83. He was born in Hanna, Alberta on December 25, 1929 to Daniel and Caroline Mattheis.

Art grew up and farmed at Scapa, Alberta until 1986 when he sold his farm for health reasons and then moved to Stettler, Alberta until his passing.

Art attended and received his diploma from Olds School of Agriculture for two winters and moved on to Calgary and attended a barber school. He was a barber in a Hanna shop for several years.

Art raised purebred Hereford cattle and loved grain farming.

He was also very musically inclined and played piano and accordion for many local dances.

Another of his enjoyments was beautiful artwork and this was evident in the lovely acreage he developed Mattheis northwest of Erskine, which became locally known as Art’s Park.

Many waitresses in the Stettler restaurants knew him from his frequent visits.

Art was quite reserved when it came to personal relationships, however, not so with his nephews and nieces who seemed to get quite a charge out of him. They shall cherish his friendship and memories: Earl and Ronald Miller, Arron and Melanie Mattheis, Rene, Robert and Karen Debre, Kimerlei and Tyler Mattheis and Devon, Dale and Lynette Pfahl.

Art leaves to mourn his loving family: his brother Edwin and Ruth, his sister Irma and Henry Debre, adopted sister Hilde Pfahl and brother Gus and June, as

well as other family and friends.

Art was predeceased by his sister and brothers-in-law Anne and Harvey Miller and Wilbert Pfahl.

A funeral service for Art was held on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Stettler, Alberta with Reverend Ross Helgeton officiating. Art was laid to rest at Lake View Cemetery in Stettler, Alberta. Donations in memory may be made to Red Cross Society c/o Stettler Funeral Home and Crematorium,

My visit to my grandfather’s former home in Kilkeel, Northern Ireland

by Lavera Goodeye Fifty years ago I saw my grandfather Sam Annett off on his trip to his homeland after 63 years. I was pleased to hear that his grand nephew, another Sam Annett and his wife Lily, would host me on my visit to my grandfather’s former home in Kilkeel, Northern Ireland.

I boarded my British Airways flight in Calgary on May 29. My cross Atlantic journey was not the ordeal I was expecting. Support stockings prevented my feet swelling. I enjoyed a supper meal, a long night of broken rest and breakfast before we landed. The buses that transfer passengers between terminals at Heathrow were timely. I wasn’t afraid to ask for a wheelchair to get me through the lines to my Dublin departure on time.

I had a room at Stanley Park Inn in Dublin for two nights. The first morning I couldn’t get my telephone to work. There wasn’t a clock in the room and I hadn’t changed my watch. I missed breakfast because slept until 11 a.m. I had lunch in the bar.

After paying 35 Euros to get from the airport to my hotel I knew I had to start using the city train called Luas Red or Green. I tried two bus stops before I was directed farther down the street to the right stop where I could buy my ticket before I got on the Luas. I found the train station and Abbey Street. I found Wild Rover Tours Office and booked an evening of supper, Irish music and dancing at the Arlington Hotel. It was called “Celtic Nights.”

I had time to go on a hop on hop off tour in a double decker bus. It was a two day ticket so I stayed on to see as much of the city as possible.

I had to check out Fleet Street which was across the O’Connell Bridge over the River Liffey. It was a happening place. I could have taken part in the bars and entertainment there. It would be a fun place for young people. I got a Thunder Road Cafe Dublin fridge magnet. The Hard Rock Cafe was there but the best bar had traditional Irish music and an enthusiastic crowd.

The Arlington show was a lot of fun. I was a single and got to my table first. They sat me right beside the stage. I was joined by a tour of women from the States. Their driver came too. I think he was the only Irish resident there. He came from Cork, which is close to the southern tip of Ireland.

I had a green drink called a Leprechaun. The five musicians played spirited tunes and I brought home a CD. The dancers kicked high and over our table. I made up a press release stating: Canadian tourist kicked in the chin by Irish dancer at the Arlington in Dublin.

We were thoroughly entertained by the dancers who had amazing energy and skill.

The next morning I pulled my heavy suitcase on its wheels down a slightly sloping street to the Luas. An elevator took me up to the train station. I bought my ticket and had a snack before my train was due. I needed some assistance getting my suitcase settled for the ride. A strong young woman who was selling pop and snacks helped me.

A young student sat beside me. I

enjoyed seeing the countryside. There was plenty of room on the train even though it was a bank holiday.

I was given the right directions to get the train within walking distance of the Belfast Holiday Inn. They said it was a 10 minute walk and I would know the street because the BBC building was on the corner. It was walking distance and all downhill on a curving street. I couldn’t see the building until I was right there. I decided 10 minutes is much longer in Ireland.

The Giant’s Causeway tour bus picked me up at my hotel. I was able to learn a great deal about Belfast and felt the tour guide was informative and diplomatic in describing the troubles that Ireland has experienced. There is history everywhere.

The Titanic Museum provided information about the country at the time of the building of the Titanic as well as interesting details about the ship and it’s construction. The visual details included: individual bedrooms, dining rooms and a staircase. I heard a man in Dublin say that there wasn’t one Catholic that participated in the building of the Titanic.

After my visit to the Museum I caught the tour bus and continued my tour of Belfast. I got off to have tea at Belfast Castle. I forgot my Titanic souvenirs on the bus. Information at the castle phoned the tour company and the owner brought them to me while I had tea. Another bus took me to downtown Belfast where I tried to buy a pair of runners before the store closed at six. I caught a taxi back to the hotel. When the cabbie told me the fare I didn’t understand because ‘eight’ sounded more like ‘hate.’

I found a Portuguese/African restaurant around the corner from my hotel.

The first night I ordered too much food. I liked this restaurant because I was paying too much for huge helpings of food in other places. At this place I could order three meaty chicken wings and a salad. There was a selection of smaller items.

I enjoyed bus travel to Giant’s Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. I would never be able to drive on the left side or find my way in Ireland. There are very few trucks on the road and the cars are all small. I thought the drivers were polite. I sat in the front next to the bus driver so it was like I was driving myself. I could see everything. I returned home with many photos of coastal scenery and vegetation.

A young man helped me climb the rocks of the Causeway and I met interesting people along the way.

When I was ready to go to Kilkeel I called a cab to take a few blocks to the bus depot. I thought this trip might be uphill.

It was a sunny day and I admired the silver Mercedes as he lifted my bag into his trunk. He asked me where I was going on the bus. He offered to drive me at a reduced rate and I really enjoyed the drive. One of my relatives picked me up from Kilkeel and I was visiting their farms and enjoyed seeing their fields, sheep, cows, horses and chickens. The stone “ditches” were so interesting. In Canada we would call them stone fences. I

Sam’s Cottage was a fully restored stone cow barn Cont’d from Pg 9 I was interested to see that many of them have continued farming the land. In some ways their farming practice is similar to the way my father and grandfather farmed. The land is so wet it has to be drained by making rock filled depressions below the fields.

The weather for my Kilkeel experience was wonderful. Each day was as sunny as the yellow bushes that bloomed everywhere. I stayed at a bed and breakfast provided by my relatives. It was on land that was supposed to be my grandfather’s inheritance. Sam’s Cottage was a fully restored stone cow barn. The sun shone in the kitchen window as I made breakfast from the generous provisions. The deep window wells showed me I was in a stone building. A traditional fireplace was available if needed. Cattle and sheep pastured in the fields beside me and my relative Sam came in his car with a sack of feed for his sheep although I thought they had ample green pasture. I could look up the hill and see the house where my grandmother grew up.

Each morning one of my relatives would arrive by car to take me on another adventure. I was taken to my grandmother’s family’s house and enjoyed a day of meeting the relatives on her side of the family.

I was delighted to be in the homes and at the farms of the people my family left behind a century ago. There was a big draft horse, border collie dogs and a beautiful burgundy rooster.

The most thrilling part of my trip was participating in a wedding where the guests were my family and meeting all these people who have made their lives in Ireland while my family was growing in Canada. It was so special to meet each person and feel that family connection.

At the wedding I met Sam’s seven sisters. They were all older than him. He was the only boy in the family. He was

two years old when my grandfather visited. My grandfather’s only surviving sibling was in the hospital dying when he was there. He stayed in her home on a cliff above the ocean so two of Sam’s sisters kept him company. The next morning he had gone down to the ocean to find some food for breakfast. I was able to see this cottage that is another bed and breakfast.

The wedding took place in the Mourne Presbyterian Church where generations of my family have been interred in the graveyard. We went to Hanna’s Close for photos and there was more history there.

It was built in a time when the people gathered and built the houses in a circle for safety. The houses had small windows on the outside.

accommodated tea on the main floor, a reception meal on the second floor and a dance on the third floor. When we got to the third floor I was able to visit the balcony that overlooked the field, stream and parking lot. The photographer had taken a group photo of over a hundred people from that balcony. The Mill was an old stone building eight or ten stories high and operates as a bed and breakfast. I was thinking of the hundreds of workers manufactoring goods at the time the Titanic was built.

The Mourne Mountains were so close to my host family’s farm I could almost reach up and touch them. I could see the famous Mourne Wall built as a boundary for the 9,000 acres of catchment area for water for Belfast. I learned more about this wall when I walked the trail to the dam at

Trucks, ,Trucks Trucks rucks T

Silent Valley. The Wall is visible from Sam’s farm. It was built before the dam and work began in 1904. It stands three meters and one meter wide. It stretches 22 miles and runs over 17 peaks of the Mourne mountains. This stone structure was constructed by men skilled in granite cutting over a period of 18 years.

We took a picnic lunch and spent a day at Ulster Folk Park at Cultra on the outskirts of Belfast. Actual buildings have been moved and restored. We were able to sit inside the city houses, stores, and country homes. There were three working mills complete with a full size water wheel.

When I paid the taxi for my trip back to Belfast City Airport I found 60 pounds was the going rate. My first trip was only 30.

CABINETMAKERS are veritable wizards with wood different pieces are adjusted properly, the last phase involves the finishing steps, including sanding, varnishing, or waxing.

Changes in the furnishing sector over the last few years have prompted cabinetmakers to specialize in producing furniture that can fit into existing décors. Current trends embrace simplicity and the use of locally grown wood in order to minimize the impact on the environment.

Meticulous and careful, these craftspeople combine manual dexterity and artistic awareness with great finesse.

The tiles are laid in such a way as to harmonize colours, shapes, and patterns. Once the tiles are cemented in place, tilers have only to clean or sand their handiwork in order to obtain an impeccable result. If you don’t have the creativity, patience, or skill to install a glass or ceramic tile backsplash in your kitchen, you’re much better off entrusting the task to a tiler.

Ceramic, porcelain, marble, and natural stone: there are many different types of coverings to embellish floors and walls. Some are heavier than others, some more fragile, but whatever material you choose, it’s always preferable to call on the services of a professional tiler.

The tiling trade requires the skill of a bricklayer to make exactly the right mortar as well as a good knowledge of materials and sealants. Aptitudes in calculation, precision, and drawing, combined with a well-developed sense of esthetics, are also necessary. Indeed, you have to be something of an artist to know how to create the perfect layout.

With their knowledge of products, colours, and trends, tilers can help their clients choose decorative patterns and appropriate materials, depending on what the room will be used for. Whether it’s a kitchen f loor or a bathroom wall, tilers first draw up a detailed list of the work to be done. They then prepare the supporting f loor or wall, apply the mortar, and

The world of cabinetmaking is centred on well-stocked workshops, machine tools, and the smells of wood and wax. Creative, skilled, and meticulous, cabinetmakers love working with different materials and styles.

The various types of wood hide no secrets from these artisans who have the knowledge, artistry, and manual skill to restore old furniture, build custom furniture and cupboards, or even reproduce period pieces.

Cabinetmakers must also master drawing and assembly techniques. In consultation with their clients, these tradespeople define the style of the piece or installation, establish dimensions, and choose the type of wood to be used. Next, they produce a sketch, then a detailed plan of the piece of furniture. They cut all the pieces of wood to the exact dimensions required and assemble the piece, using thin sheets of wood for any decorative motifs. After verifying that all the

Barn wood is all the rage at the moment. That’s right, we’re talking about all those old boards holding up sagging, abandoned barns and sheds along country roads. Neglected for years on end, barn boards have a unique weathered look that is perfect for the “shabby chic� and “rough luxe� trends.

Whether used as wall covering, beams, floors, or ceilings, or even to create tables, bookshelves, or kitchen islands, these greying wood planks give instant character and warmth to a room.

For a contemporary look, blend rustic and modern by adding touches of barn wood to accessories in stainless steel, glass, and stone.

You can create your own barn board look on regular wood by following these few steps: • Sand the chosen surface and apply a coat of primer • Paint a base coat of grey • Trace horizontal lines in order to imitate the wood’s grain and lay masking tape over these lines • Combine a container of grey paint with a bit of glaze and repeat the operation with some brown paint • Use a paint brush with stiff bristles to paint each “plankâ€? with both colours • Leave the paint to dry and then remove the masking tape • Spread a mix of off-white glaze on one plank at a time and then slide a small tool, called a wood

That’s why the efficient use of space is a • Position the work zone (countertops) close to the very important element in any kitchen. One cooking zone and the washing zone design rule has proved its worth over the years: the work triangle. Here is a short geometry lesson for those who aren’t familiar with this concept.

First of all, the three main zones of the kitchen are the cooking zone (stove and microwave), washing zone (sink, dishwasher, garbage and recycling bins), and provisions zone (refrigerator, cupboards, and pantry).

These three zones have to be situated at a practical distance from one another in order to create a user-friendly kitchen. Together they should form a triangle which, in an ideal scenario, has three equal (or almost equal) sides.

Planning on Building or Subdividing?

Painting one or more rooms can be an arduous task for many people. However, a bit of preparation can make all the difference.

1. First of all, remove all the drapes, artwork, ornaments, and other decorative objects as well as light switch and outlet plates. Group all the furniture in the middle of the room and cover the floor and the furniture with drop sheets.

2. If the wall has been painted before, wash the surface, sand it lightly to improve the paint’s adherence, and then remove any dust. If necessary, use spackling to fill any holes or cracks and even out the underlayment to correct any irregularities in the wall. Sand and remove any dust, then apply a sealant over the repairs.

3. If the existing paint is oil based, use a special primer before applying water based paint. To know whether a paint is oil based or not, rub the surface of the wall with a cloth soaked in nail polish remover. An oil paint will not lose its shine.

4. For the paint, start with the ceiling. When you’re ready to paint the edges of the walls, tape the edge of the ceiling with a good quality masking tape that can be removed without causing any da mage. Use a good quality bevelled paint brush for an impeccable finish.

5. Lastly, the choice of paint plays a key

ECA REVIEW

Good fences make good neighbours Upon bull turnout, there are no happy faces if a neighbour’s bull is seen in with the cows

by Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist North Dakota State University Extension There is a centuries-old saying: “Good fences make good neighbours.” In his 1914 poem “Mending Wall,” Robert Frost twice uses this saying as two neighbours set about mending a wall, which we would today call a fence.

The points made in the saying are very true. Anyone who has a fence certainly must ponder why all the effort is being made in keeping a fence. Frost notes the difficulty of maintaining a fence as the forces of nature beat upon the structure.

From above or below ground, the seasons of winter, spring, summer and fall all battle against the placement of any fence.

Then come the deliberate and trying repairs because of hunters who take fences down to simply gain access to game or other selected targets. They often leave gates open or gaping holes that cattle can walk through.

Twice now, the Dickinson Research Extension Center has had to retrieve cattle from previous pastures because people have failed to shut the gates between pastures. Pasture rotations are good, but rotated cattle do not stay rotated when gates are left open.

Frost and his neighbour walked the fence line to replace rough rock. We routinely walk fence lines to add staples, stays and fence clamps to upgrade or repair an old fence. The comment is made in the poem of rough hands being pummeled by rough rocks. Today, as we walk, cuts and scrapes crisscross one’s hands with little fuss.

Frost begs the question of his neighbour as they walked through a tree planting: Why have a fence at all? The neighbour,

assumed to be more seasoned in the trade, simply states: “Good fences make good neighbours,” so the two keep on fixing the fence.

Frost notes that cows certainly would warrant a stronger fence. To him, a fence between apple and pine trees made no sense. No tree is going to uproot itself and move over to the neighbour’s parcel of land. However, the question falls on deaf ears and only inspires a stronger effort at rebuilding the fence.

Frost notes that there is something inherently wrong with a fence that seems to have no purpose other than to be an irritation to those on both sides of the fence. After a lengthy oration by Frost questioning the purpose of a fence to separate the pine and apple trees, the neighbour only replies: “Good fences make good neighbours.” The poem ends with this phrase.

There is much about this poem that is very relevant to today’s beef producers.

The main point is that fences have been part of the agricultural landscape for centuries. The ability to keep separate the agricultural products of one farm or ranch from another was critical. In many ways, a fence was the original source verification of farm and ranch produce.

Today, ranchers may have very different selection criteria and will pay good money for bulls that are meant to breed their cows. Upon bull turnout, there are no happy faces if a neighbour’s bull is seen in with the cows. The center does not turn bulls out until August 1, but the crew always is on the lookout for rogue bulls.

There is no joy in separating unwanted bulls, so good fences make good neighbours.

UNRESERVED MACHINE & WELDING SHOP DISPERSAL

AUCTION

If bulls or cows do not stay put despite all the efforts to repair a fence, they need to be returned home. Stronger fences will keep the cows and bulls where they need to be. However, there may come a point where the more difficult bulls and cows simply need to go the way of market beef.

Keeping unwanted genetics at bay or simply not wanting to feed the neighbour’s cattle are the most obvious reasons for good fences. However, there is another reason that often is overlooked, which is keeping unwanted pathogens out of the herd.

Pathogens, although smaller than what can be seen by the rancher’s eye, are causative agents of disease. The more common agents are bacteria or viruses. Regardless of what agent, producers do not want them in their herd because these pathogens will spread. However, they generally do not spread easily.

The best prevention is to make sure only cattle that are pathogen-free enter the herd. If a producer went through the effort to test the herd for common pathogens and the herd is found to be free of pathogens, then the herd is clean. However, if the herd is pastured next to another herd that has

Good biosecurity a must for beef operations

by Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist North Dakota State University Extension The current discussion in cattle circles about bovine tuberculosis certainly brings up mixed emotions. Producers always are concerned when situations are discovered that impact individual herds of cattle.

Perhaps a discussion in broader terms would provide some background. Cattle are no different than other living creatures.

They are a highly refined and well-organized package of living cells. These cells each have a function and must and will do what is expected for the lifetime of the cow.

Most cells are good and perform their expected function in life. Every day, each cell responds to signals that indicate what should be done. Cows have an assortment of cells, such as muscle, lung, brain, rumen, white and red blood, and many more that have specialized functions.

For example, skin cells hold all the cells together and help protect the other cells from harm and invasion by nonfriendly cells. This may sound a little like science fiction, but there is no science fiction here.

Why? Because all living things, not just cattle, must deal with pathogens, which are cells in their own right that causes diseases.

Tuberculosis (TB) in cattle is caused by Mycobacterium bovis. TB bacteria are not welcome cells in cattle or other living creatures. Cells that protect the body form defensive barriers to prevent the mixing of good and bad cells. These cells manage to keep bad cells at bay most of the time.

However, we also need to do our part to limit exposure.

In human terms, most of us have a natural aversion to others if our protecting cells are breached. In simple terms, we realize we do not want to spread an infection we might have to others or get infections that others might have. We simply do not want to spread germs to those around us, so we take precautions.

The first and most recommended precaution is to stay home or at least limit our

contact with others. This is called good biosecurity. In addition, we are encouraged to wash our hands, use tissues or other germcatching material or even use disinfectants when appropriate. We wash, dispose of waste products and clean our environment regularly.

When we fail to practice good biosecurity, there are cells in our bodies specially designed to react or police our systems.

These cells attack to get rid of bad cells that infect our systems. If one has ever coughed or sneezed or had the displeasure of having to forcefully discharge bodily material, one should be happy because that means our body’s system is working and expelling unwanted and perhaps harmful stuff.

What does this have to do with cows and TB? Well, when a cow is infected with Mycobacterium bovis, bad bacteria have taken up residence, which is not good.

Treatment regimens in livestock are impractical, so the eradication of Mycobacterium bovis is the goal.

In the U.S. and throughout the world, the eradication of Mycobacterium bovis has

been a priority, which has been very effective. When TB is located anywhere in the world, a harsh and aggressive offense is activated to further eliminate the bad bacteria.

It’s a war that the living are winning because quick and aggressive action is taken at the beginning of any outbreak.

As far as health goes, cattle and people are better off today than at any other time in history. TB is under control. The moral of this story is that we need to be more focused on future prevention.

Obviously, we need to do our part as producers to maintain effective biosecurity within and across our herds. We always must assume the worst and do everything we can to prevent exposure. The cow does everything she can to avoid harmful bacteria, which in this case is Mycobacterium bovis.

Unfortunately, even when everything is done to prevent exposure, TB can get by the body’s defensive mechanisms. A cow can become an active host for TB and potentially spread TB within the herd. Cattle producers always must be vigilant and avoid cattle that may be at risk of being a carrier of TB or any other pathogen. The best and most effective control of any pathogen that can affect a cow herd is to make sure that the herd never is exposed.

However, even when everything is done right, bad things happen. Support is good and blame is not. An effective response to any bad cells will minimize the impact. That is good.
