Delburne alters plans after facial murals fade R

Workers place photo murals on the side of the Delburne school in June, but the images of local residents faded much sooner than Belonging Delburne organizers had anticipated.

ECA Review/J. MacNeil

John MacNeil

Review Reporter Photo murals of local residents faded from building exteriors much sooner than expected, but organizers of the Belonging Delburne project hope to continue to chronicle area history in other forms.

The large murals, capturing images of Delburne-area residents from all walks of life, were erected on the sides of buildings throughout the village this spring. But they began to deteriorate within a few weeks.

“Right after they went up, there was about two inches of rain — we had that huge storm,” said project co-ordinator Nora Smith, a community worker with Family and Community Support Services (FCSS).

INDEX

“So that didn’t really help the installation. They basically all are down.

Interestingly enough, there’s one little building (where the murals are) still up — the little AGT building that has four photos on it is still good.”

Although disappointed that 300-plus portraits disappeared much sooner than the projected six months to two years, the information gathered in the early stages of the Belonging project is still of use, Smith said.

“We’re looking for a more permanent way to put them up. Right now, we’re engaging the public, because quite often, you have the skill-set within the community. It’s there — you’ve just got to find it, or ask for it.

“We’ll just move forward and make some choices on how we want to put them back up. Because the way people

reacted to (the murals), it was amazing.

In that glimmer of time, it was phenomenal.”

The unique project featured Delburne-and-area residents in everyday photos, from farmyard and school settings to sports and workplace environments. The participants ranged in age from five months to 94 years.

“We had over 300 people come in for photos,” Smith said. “The number was quite outstanding, but the diversity was probably even more exceptional. The whole point of the project was to get people at the (community dialogue) table who weren’t at the table yet — who we just haven’t asked to the table yet.”

Audio recordings were also part of the photo project, so that information is expected to be of longer-term benefit to the community, Smith said.

Wuzinski has been a problem-solver in her educational approach to enforcement, Kulyk said.

“No stone is going unturned and nobody is immune.”

Wuzinski’s report for June was presented at the July 21 council meeting.

“She’s done a really good job,” said Coun. Liz Adams.

Coronation RCMP charge three youths in golf club break-in John MacNeil

Review Reporter Police have arrested three youths as RCMP continue to investigate a string of summer vandalism in Coronation and Castor.

Coronation RCMP announced July 21 that the detachment has charged the trio with break-in and theft after an incident at the Coronation Golf Club on the July 5-6 weekend.

The youths are charged with breaking into the clubhouse after hours and stealing a variety of items from inside,

said Sgt. Darcy McGunigal.

They’re scheduled to appear in Coronation Provincial Court on Sept. 12.

The suspects can’t be named because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The arrests come as police probe multiple cases of break-ins and vandalism in the County of Paintearth.

“We’re dealing with the vandalism,” Sgt. McGunigal said. “(We have plans) for some proactive stuff that we’re going to do to try to curb the vandalism.

“I don’t know if the theft of trailer is related to that. It may have been something that was a little more targeted.”

SPORTS

In the early morning hours of Saturday, July 12, a 16-foot flatbed trailer and slip tank were stolen from the Castor OK Tire parking lot, RCMP reported.

“The trailer was recovered the next day at a rural location near Castor, with the slip tank still missing,” Const. Brian Marinelli said in a news release.

“The suspect vehicle is believed to be a late-model Ford 350 Super Crew, dark in colour, possibly green with a silver stripe on the bottom. The truck has a fifthwheel trailer hitch in the back.”

On the same weekend, police were notified of damage to the Coronation

Coyotes off to Fort Saskatchewan The Clive Coyotes, a regional team made up of east-central Albertans, learned last week that their midget AA Tier 1 championship tournament is set for Fort Saskatchewan on the Aug. 1-3 weekend.

The front-running Coyotes won both July 20 games at Clive — 8-6 over Sherwood Park and 16-4 over Okotoks Outlaws Blue.

Clive is 5-0 in the latest round of provincial play and 16-2 overall in Baseball Alberta action. The Coyotes were scheduled to wrap up their regular season with

two games this week — July 23 at home to St. Albert and July 24 at South Jasper Place.

On the July 11-13 weekend, the Coyotes played six games in the Kelowna, B.C., tournament, losing to Prince George 8-2 in the A final.

“They had a tough, fast pitcher,” said Coyotes coach Stacey Bell, who added with a chuckle: “We’ll beat ’em next time.”

If they meet again, it would be in the Western Canadian championship at Swift Current, Sask.

Stettler-area athletes participating in the Alberta Summer Games this week at Airdrie include (back row, from left) Dacia Gramlick (athletics) and tiana Gamroth (softball) and (front row, from left) Daran tulan (lacrosse) and Daniel Moon (soccer). Among other Stettler participants are Paul Georget in baseball, Sydney Poapst in basketball and Derek and noah Smyth in lacrosse, along with six football players listed in the Jordan lane feature story in this edition of the review.

ECA Review/J. MacNeil

The head coach of Zone 4 is Stettler’s Brian Matchett, whose son Tyler is on the Summer Games roster, along with fellow Stettler minor football products Will McDonald of Bashaw, Edward Kim of Stettler, Ty McCann of Gadsby and Keegan St. Denis of Red Willow.

For most of the past two weeks, Zone 4 has been practising in Red Deer.

“I’m trying to make sure that I can press hard to play starting quarterback, and I’ll do whatever the coaches tell me to do,” said Lane, whose fellow quarterbacks are Devin Desormeau of Red Deer and David Mueller of Lacombe.

“If they tell me to play reps or receiver, because I’m taller and faster than most kids, then I’ll do that. If they tell me to go play DB, because they think I’d be better there, I’ll do whatever they want, as long as I can get on the field.”

That’s the love of the game that permeates Lane, who also plays high school basketball.

“I don’t really like to sit at home and not do much,” he said while participating in Camp Teckla basketball camp at Stettler this month. “I like to get outside and play sports and stuff with my friends.”

Most of his like-minded friends also play sports, where they learn about discipline at an early age.

“It’s easy to make the wrong choices and just live by them,” Lane said. “It’s harder to make the right choices. Like, not going to parties and stuff. If you have homework, doing your homework.

Studying for tests if you have to.”

the Stettler SwAtt posted a 6-0 record to win the provincial under-14 C girls’ softball championship in Calahoo, northwest of Edmonton.

Simply put, seatbelts ‘can save lives’

by Lois Perepelitz I really do not understand why there are still so many people who do not wear their seatbelt. Don’t they have bells that ding or lights that flash in their car until they do the belt up?

What do they think they are proving by not wearing them?

Are they just being stubborn, not wanting anyone to “tell them what to do” in their own vehicle? Do they really think they’re such perfect drivers that they will never get into an accident?

One thing they do prove by not wearing the seatbelt is how Perepelitz easily the human body gets thrown around in an accident.

There are so many times the news anchor person will be reporting on a fatal accident where someone has been thrown out of the vehicle or through the windshield, and they end the report with “the deceased was not wearing a seatbelt.”

Doesn’t that give you a hint, a small idea of what the seatbelt does?

Last spring, my granddaughter was driving a small tin can of a car on a very windy day, when she got to the top of a hill a gust of wind picked that car up and flipped it into the ditch. Her Facebook status that night was “I love my seatbelt.”

She will be the first to admit that the only reason she buckled up that day was because she could not afford the fine if she was stopped by the police. Now she happily buckles up because she has learned from experience just what a seatbelt can do.

It can save lives!

Maybe these people are waiting to learn from their own experience. The only problem with that is, if they’re not wearing the seatbelt, they probably won’t be around to learn from their experience. I suppose

their family and friends could study on that lesson on the way to the funeral.

I can’t even point to any specific age group about this problem. It seems to spread right across the generations, from young to old. Maybe the younger generation is just following the example of the older generation, and before you know it, they’re the older generation setting the example for the younger one. That is a circle that needs to be broken.

Another thing that really puzzles me is the people who strap their kids in as tight as possible, then leave their seatbelt undone. Kudos for keeping your children safe, but what will they do when you don’t make it through the accident?

I guess what I really don’t understand is why someone would care so little about themselves that they wouldn’t do something as simple and easy as putting their seatbelt on.

Hanna readies for Communities in Bloom judges

Submitted Hanna in Bloom and the Town of Hanna ask residents and businesses alike to put their “best foot forward” in preparation for the July 29 visit from the Communities in Bloom judges.

Paint a fence, mow lawns and pull weeds — take time to ensure that properties are tidy and clean. We want a positive image to be the first impression for newcomers or visitors to our community.

This year, the Hanna in Bloom committee continues to promote “people, plants and pride” in our community through the program. The group works

on several projects started in previous seasons, including expansion of the heritage floral beds at the museum.

The committee has also implemented a “Blooms To You” weekly award for deserving businesses and individual residents.

Hanna reached the five-bloom status in 2013, breaking its status of four blooms, which the town held since its initial threebloom rating in 2005.

The committee is working to retain the five-bloom rating this season and perhaps add the provincial title to its list of accomplishments.

Coronation-area residents gathered at the Coronation dam campground on the evening of July 15 to release balloons in support of the Liknes and O’Brien families impacted by the disappearance of five-year-old Calgarian Nathan O’Brien and his grandparents, Kathryn and Alvin Liknes, whose family is from the Monitor and Veteran communities.

The trio has been missing since June 30. Police have charged Douglas Garland, 54, of Airdrie with three counts of murder, though bodies haven’t been found.

He enjoyed the Garden Plain picnic and the many dances, card parties and fun times held at the Garden Plain Hall. He also loved to come to the trade show in Castor and visit with people there.

At the age of 7, Harold found his first arrow and eventually he established an extensive collection of arrowheads that were found within the Prairies of the Garden Plain area.

In 2010, Harold received the 100-year provincial plaque for family members being on the homestead for 100 years. There was a celebration at the Garden Plain Hall with many family, neighbours and friends.

In 2013, Harold donated his 100-year plaque and Model T Ford to the Hanna Pioneer Museum.

Harold moved from the farm to the Hanna Lodge on March 1, 2013. In June 2013, he required further care and was transferred to the Hanna Nursing Home. He lived a long and happy life that was shared among family and friends. He will be greatly missed and will be forever kept in our hearts.

A service of remembrance was held Saturday, July 19, 2014, at the First United Church in Hanna, with Rev. Leila Currie officiating.

Interment followed in the Netherby Cemetery.

Strandberg ‘always thought of others before himself’

STRANDBERG, Harold Ingvald 1918 — 2014 Harold Ingvald Strandberg passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early morning on July 15, 2014, at the Hanna Nursing Home. He was 96.

He was predeceased by his father Charles and mother Anna Strandberg; brothers Stanley and Eric Strandberg; nephew Kenneth Strandberg; and great-great-nephew Ryan Ayoungman.

Harold is survived by his nephew and niece: Lloyd (Sharon) Strandberg, Muriel (Butch) Beach; great nephews and nieces: Shawna (Jamie) Major, Valerie Beach, Rusty (Twyla), Athena, Juliette and Jody (Krystal) Ayoungman; plus great-great-nephew and nieces: Corbin and Tatum Major, Corey Lepage, Elizabeth, Gabrielle, Mackenzie and Darian Ayoungman, Devan Leeks, Roma and Riley Ayoungman, Teylan McMartin and Blake Ayoungman.

Both of his parents had emigrated from Sweden. In 1908, Charles Strandberg had taken up a homstead in the Garden Plain district. Harold was born on March 7, 1918, to Charles and Anna Strandberg. The homestead became his permanent home and residence up to March 1, 2013.

From 1941 to 1946, Harold had volunteered his services to the Royal Canadian Air Force.

After his services with the Royal Canadian Air Force, Harold provided home care for both of his parents while operating the family homestead with his brother Eric up to 1967.

During the year of 1989, Harold cared for Kenneth’s children and later adopted his nephew’s children as his own.

Cow herd struggles to expand, given the numbers

By Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist North Dakota State University Extension Service Numbers always are floating by, but, if one stops to read them, they mean something.

For example, I picked up a pamphlet that had the 2013 net returns per acre for several crops in western North Dakota.

Based on cash-rented land, there was a spring wheat net return of $55.65 per acre, $77.32 for winter wheat, $28.35 for corn as grain, $93.73 for soybeans, $71.04 for oil sunflowers and $36.73 per acre for alfalfa/ grass hay.

The numbers were provided by the North Dakota Farm Management Program (http://www.ndfarmmanagement.com/) in “Highlights from the 2013 North Dakota Averages” pamphlet. The program provides enterprise analysis for many agricultural operations, including beef cows, and is well worth reviewing.

Also listed was the western North

Dakota net return for beef cows at $244 per cow. All the numbers indicated some positive outcomes for production agriculture in western North Dakota; thus, the question or quick thought of attempting to compare the use of land for crops with cow production.

Was it fair to actually compare using the land for crop production versus beef cow production? I dropped the question.

Later, as I was driving by a quarter, of 160 acres, of grass the Dickinson Research Extension Center owns, the question resurfaced. Why do we have cows on this quarter of land when the center could focus on crop production? I dropped the question.

Then, as I was writing this week’s BeefTalk, the question came to mind again. Why does the center run cows on a piece of land that could support crop production? This time, the question could not be dropped for a third time. After all, across the road was a crop field.

Glen Hartel, the manager of the Coronation seedcleaning plant, chats with his predecessor, Gordon Mclarty, during the plant’s 50th-anniversary celebrations on July 18. Mclarty was the manager from 1982 to 1997.

An estimated 100 people attended the noontime gathering at the seed plant.

I was nervous to actually face up to the reality of crop versus cattle production, so let’s return to the opening. Based on cashrented land, spring wheat net return was $55.65 per acre, winter wheat $77.32, corn for grain $28.35, soybeans $93.73 and oil sunflowers $71.04. The average net profit for these five crops was $65.22 per acre.

Compared with leaving the land in hay production, the net return per acre for alfalfa/grass hay was $36.73, so crop production was better than hay production.

However, what about letting the cows graze the quarter section? As noted earlier, the net return per cow was $244, which is a good number. However, if one needs nine acres per cow for the grazing season, the net return per acre is $27.11. If one needs 12 acres per cow for the grazing season, the net return per acre is $20.33. If one needs 15 acres per cow for the grazing season, the net return per acre is $16.27.

Now I know why I did not want to ask the question.

I like beef because I like raising beef cows and I enjoy the beef industry.

However, now someone else is asking me why the center does not break up the 160 acres and switch to crop production. I stutter a little bit and tell the person that I like beef because I like raising beef cows and enjoy the beef industry.

The reality of today’s agriculture is heavily slanted toward crop production if land has the potential to be converted to crop production. Like it or not, for beef production to expand, the economics of the beef cow needs to have a threefold increase in net returns to compete with crop production.

To leave land in hay production, the net return for hay needs to double.

These are very unlikable thoughts, but certainly thoughts that will drive the next wave of young agriculturists. Those involved in crop production certainly can bid away land that is in beef production.

Cont’d from Pg 9 Thus, the cow herd struggles to expand.

This reality places the discussion of the future of beef in a dilemma. Is that future constrained by the current anticipation or expectations of crops or is that future independent of the status of crops? Can the beef business exist by improving a strong business sense, doing managerial fine-tuning and finding expanded markets?

Can the beef business exist as a lowmargin business by excelling in working with tight margins and having stringent operating procedures guiding daily production? Can the beef industry exist as a residual, low-margin side business of crop agriculture or is the future of beef a residual, low-input side business of grassland agriculture?

Does the beef business measure inputs and outputs while producing a food product recognized for its nutritional value and eating pleasure?

What is the future of the beef business?

Low margins and inputs?

Excess overhead will not work. Excess employees will not work. So what will work? I keep pondering and peering

Bulls to host provincials in Stettler John MacNeil

Review Reporter After not playing a home game all season, the East Central Bulls are going to finish the summer in style.

The Bulls learned

Tuesday, July 22, that they will host the provincial bantam AA Tier 1 baseball championship on the Aug. 1-3 weekend in Stettler.

East Central continued its solid season by winning the Strathmore bantam tourna-

ECA Review/J. MacNeil

Midget Royals go to bat in Barrhead for provincials John MacNeil

Review Reporter The Coronation Royals are bound for Barrhead for the provincial midget AA Tier 3 baseball championship, which runs July 25-27.

Coronation had considered hosting the tournament, and Baseball Alberta even listed the Royal Town as the host on its website last Friday morning, July 18, but later changed the championship site as Barrhead.

“There was kind of a mixup there,” said Royals manager Tracy Ramsay.

“We tossed the idea (of hosting) around, but for several reasons, we thought we’ll go to Barrhead. They wanted to host.”

Ramsay said all 14 players — from Coronation, Castor, Brownfield and Czar — are expected to be available to the Royals for the provincials.

Coronation opens Friday night against South Jasper Place No. 2, after the opening ceremonies.

On Saturday evening, the Royals face a familiar opponent in Bawlf, which was promoted to Tier 3 for

the final berth in those provincials.

“Over the years, we’ve played them lots, for fun,”

Ramsay said of Bawlf. “We’re actually looking forward to playing them. Good guys.”

ment on the July 18-20 weekend.

The Bulls, who feature players from all parts of east-central Alberta, cruised past the Edmonton Angels and Strathmore Reds and edged the Camrose Cougars 11-10 in dramatic fashion, scoring five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Four members of the Bulls are with their respective zone teams in the Alberta Summer Games this weekend at Airdrie.

The East Central reps are Stettler’s Paul Georget (Zone 4), Amisk’s Brandon Buxton (Zone 7), and Oyen’s Brendan and Gavin Logan (Zone 2).

The Zone 2 lineup includes Garett Hagel of Three Hills.
