said the two are considered “incompatibles,” which is a term used within the jail system for individuals who should not have contact with each other for a variety of reasons. “The usual reason is that there is hostility between the individuals, which might lead to confrontation,” said Fay. The preliminary hearing was set for Feb. 29 but was postponed until March 7. “We agreed that, in light of the admissions that myself and counsel for the co-accused were prepared to make for the purpose of the preliminary hearing that two weeks would not be needed,” said Fay. There is a publication ban on evidence presented at the preliminary hearing.

remains were found for Sandra Klaus but she is believed to have perished in the fire. The family’s dog was found dead outside from a gunshot. RCMP announced in February 2014 that the deaths were a homicide and the family was targeted. Jason Klaus and Joshua Frank were arrested Aug. 17, 2014, after a B.C. dive team from RCMP’s E Division retrieved what police call a “key” piece of evidence from the Battle River near Big Knife Provincial Park on July 27, 2014. Co-accused Jason Klaus and Joshua Frank are being kept apart at the Red Deer Remand Centre because of a security risk and Klaus was moved temporarily to the Edmonton Remand Centre.

Throughout the first two days of the preliminary hearing, accused Jason Klaus kept his head down and took notes. On the second day of testimony, tears streamed down Klaus’ face during witness testimony. The third day of testimony Klaus looked up more, and around the courtroom. Throughout, Joshua Frank sat very straight in the prisoner’s box. Members of the Klaus family were noticeably absent from the preliminary hearing, with only one family member attending. About 15 family members and friends of Joshua Frank packed into the courtroom. The remains of Gordon Klaus and his daughter, Monica Klaus, were found in the burned out farmhouse east of Castor. No

They will be arraigned in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on April 4 when a trial date will be set. Co-accused Jason Gordon Klaus and Joshua Gregory Frank appeared in court March 7, 8 and 9 for a preliminary hearing. A preliminary hearing is held to determine if there’s enough evidence for the accused to stand trial on the charges.

Alix road paving put on hold Lisa Joy
ECA Review reporter A 6.4 km stretch of road near Alix won’t get asphalt overlay any time soon after Lacombe County voted against sending the project to tender. At its regular meeting March 10, Lacombe County Rod McDermand made a motion that the project go to tender to find out what the costs would be. “All roads need to be brought up to non-ban status,” said Coun. McDermand. The motion was defeated. The 75 mm to 80 mm of
asphalt overlay would bring the road up to a non-banned structure. South and north of this section of road has paved nonbanned roads. The county wants to improve its banned roads to non-banned roads. Alix North was paved in 1989 and has had a spring road ban since then. The project is on the Pavement Management Plan for an overlay in 2030. It has low traffic volumes of about 121 vehicles per day.
Recreation requests
Lacombe County councillors voted in favour of awarding a bid from Driscoll Concrete for
$49,100 for a new skateboard park pad in Mirror. The park will be relocated north of the existing outdoor rink on Lacombe County owned land. Lacombe County will pay $3,000 for base preparation. The project is funded equally from the Mirror Contingency Reserve and the Recreational Capital Assistance Reserve. Lacombe County will meet with Clive Community Hall Association and the Village of Clive on April 4 at the community hall in Clive to discuss its proposed hall. According to Lacombe County’s Manager of Corporate
Services Tim Timmons, based on a total projected cost of $2.14 million for the hall, $428,897 would be needed from the Village of Clive. The association asked the county for $1.74 million. “Get the three parties together,” said Tim Timmons, Lacombe County’s director of corporate services at the regular meeting March 10. “Find out what the Village of Clive will commit to the project.”
Stettler County facing costly decisions Debra Johnston
ECA Review reporter A petition calling for a vote on Bylaw 1558-16 to allow the County of Stettler to borrow $7.6 million of the $9.6 million needed for the new public works shop was declared sufficient by CAO Tim Fox at the Mar. 9 regular meeting. Council set a date for an additional public meeting for Mar. 22 to deal with the petition. Council can opt to proceed with the bylaw and submit it to a vote of the ratepayers or they can choose not to proceed. The announcement of tender awards for the shop was also postponed to the same meeting.
Current public works shop
Now that construction of the new shop is on hold pending the outcome of the ratepayer petition, conditions of the old shop are back under the spotlight. Council agreed to spend the $45,000 required to conduct an intrusive investigation on the old shop. Stantec conducted a property assessment in 2014 but the assessment was a visual inspection only and did not delve into wall interiors. The first inspection found safety code violations that required removal of staff from the second floor of the shop. Temporary portables were setup to replace the lost office space. A more in depth investigation could likely find more problems and, according to CAO Tim Fox, once begun cannot be stopped. Coun. Greggory Jackson asked Director of Engineering Rick Green, who presented the Request for Decision for the investigation,

Clive resident requesting cat bylaw Lisa Joy
ECA Review reporter Village of Clive council will consider enforcing a cat bylaw after a resident asked council for help dealing with the unwanted felines using her yard as a litter box. Dee-Anna Gunsch told council, at its regular meeting March 14, that she has tried almost every natural method of keeping out cats but all it’s doing is attracting skunks. “I feel like I’m getting nowhere and I would really like to see a bylaw,” she said. She said cats roaming the neighbourhood have ruined her flowerbed, adding that even putting up a fence around the yard hasn’t resolved the issue. “It’s very, very upsetting.” Gunsch pointed out cat bylaws in Blackfalds and Penhold as examples of what the village could consider. Mayor Anita Gillard said the village will have administration draft a bylaw to bring back to council to discuss and consider at its next meeting. She added, however, that Clive has diverse lots with some being acreages and it ‘s difficult to license barn cats. She assured Gunsch, however, saying, “We are going to address it.”
Meeting with Lacombe County
Clive Mayor Anita Gillard told council that she wants all
Emergency management plan updated
councilors, and the Chief Administrative Officer, to attend an upcoming meeting with Lacombe County and the Clive Community Hall Association in April. The Clive Community Hall Association asked Lacombe County earlier this year for help funding its proposed $2.2 million hall, which would have a capacity of 350 people. But before the county council commits to funding they want to see more support from both the village and the community. The county also wants more details about the group’s fundraising efforts, updated construction costs and projected annual operating costs. Clive’s current hall has a capacity of 150 and needs major repairs and upgrades.
Clive council accepted its updated emergency management plan. In addition, Lorrie Dupuis, Clive’s director of emergency management, told council that she plans to conduct an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) drill to see how the community responds to an emergency. “I will activate it but won’t say when,” she said. Dupuis said the exercise will help see if everyone is onboard, working together. She added that some councillors may have to fill in and help. In the event of an emergency, the village won’t use an air siren and instead, will notify residents through social media.
Paving streets
CAO report
Council awarded the 2016 paving contract to Border Paving whose bid came in at $204,284, not including GST or engineering costs. Railway Ave. and 46 St., as well as some patch work, will be completed this year. Border Paving was the lowest bidder with some bids coming in as high as about $500,000.
Chief Administrative Officer Carla Kenney, in her report to council, said she attended the Boomtown Trail Rejuventation/ Strategic Planning Workshop at the Red Deer County Office on Feb. 28, and how the group plans to work together regionally. Some ideas include driving routes, circle tours and regional calendars. The new focus will be on tourism as the catalyst for economic development. The group may change its name and leave the past behind as they head into the 21st Century. CAO Kenney told council

Information needed on old shop Cont’d from Pg 2 A number of councillors suggested other shops could be available to rent if staff were required to vacate the shop until it could be brought up to code. The consensus among councillors was that the information on the shop was needed regardless if the new shop moves ahead. The projected costs for upgrades to the old shop are $683,540. That does not include optional upgrades to the mechanical and electrical systems and the building’s interior and structure, which together would add another $725,000.
Road construction hits roadblocks
Getting road construction projects underway is becoming an exercise in futility for Green as he requested council’s direction on where to go with planned projects. Council had approved a five-year plan for upgrading county roads but the highest priority roads have come to a stand still as negotiations with landowners have halted. Aside from the purchase of land for right of way, the county also requires permission from landowners for the removal of trees, backsloping of land, use of equipment on the land and so
on. Without that, the project stalls. “Often the county has been criticized for not building roads. Residents are unaware of the blocks the county is up against,” stated Coun. Les Stulberg. Rather than approach the projects on a piecemeal basis, completing only the parts of a project where agreement has been reached, council approved Green’s request to move to the next project where the county has 100 per cent approval from residents.

Yearly assessments bad news ECA Review reporter Last year’s assessment values were down in Kneehill County, coming in at 93 per cent of the previous year’s totals council learned at the Mar. 8 regular meeting. The Accurate Assessment team of Troy Birtles, Sean Barrett and Chris Meadows presented council with a report of assessments as of July 1, 2015, which dropped to $2,464,348,780 from
$2,647,682,210 in 2014. That represents a loss of revenue to the county of $183,333,430, over half of that due to linear assessments. Of all the municipalities Accurate assesses, Kneehill was hit especially hard stated Birtles, although they could not determine why other than a closer proximity to Calgary. Not only are less wells being drilled in the county – just under 30 in 2015 compared to over 90 in 2013
Troy Slemp was surprised with a $5,000 cheque presented to him by an ATB Financial employee, Jen Kohle during the Castor Atom’s game on Mon., Mar. 14 at the Castor Arena in recognition of his winning one of the five Home Ice Hero awards issued in the province. JD Johnson of Halkirk along with various local hockey and community members nominated Slemp for the award. Slemp coaches two hockey teams and has three children currently active in the sport.

Kneehill Historical Society hopes to save a historic site from the wrecking ball and, at the same time, breathe new life into the century old building. The building that accommodated the first village school from 1914 to 1920, then subsequently went on to act as a municipal office, police detachment, library, fire hall and then kindergarten, has to be moved or demolished according to a letter submitted to Kneehill council from the Society. The Society plans to restore the building to its original appearance and renovate the interior to provide a visitor information centre, classroom for students and a workshop for artifact restoration work. The building will sit on a full foundation just east of the main museum. In order to accomplish this goal, the Society requested a letter of support from Kneehill County for the Society’s application for a Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) grant for $125,000. They also asked the county to consider donating $20,000 towards the project. The cost for the project totals $361,764 broken into two phases, according to estimates provided to council by the Society. Council moved to provide a letter of support and agreed to the $20,000 donation if the Society received the CFEP grant.

GUEST EDITORIAL
The Supreme Court sided with science against Obama This article was first printed in the New York Times, Feb. 15, 2016 written by Will Happer and Rod Nichols In his State of the Union Address, President Obama invited “anybody [who] wants to dispute the science around climate change . . . to have at it.” The Supreme Court’s response? Thank you, Mr. President, for the offer. We will. On Feb. 9, the court upheld a delay of Obama’s war on fossil fuels, which is supposed to “stop climate change,” in the form of new restrictions on factories’ greenhouse-gas emissions. Apparently a majority of the court is less confident of the “science around climate change” than Obama is. As well they should be. Obama’s policies will have negligible effects on the climate and will be all pain with no gain.
“
For tens of millions
of years, plants have been coping with a “CO2 famine.”
“
Two critical points about “the science around climate change” stand out in a review recently completed by the CO2 Coalition, a new independent, nonpartisan scientific-educational group (CO2Coalition.org). First, carbon dioxide, CO2, is emphatically NOT a “pollutant.” All living things are built of carbon that comes from CO2. An increase in essential CO2 in the atmosphere will be a huge benefit to plants and agriculture. Satellite measurements show that the increase of CO2 over the last few decades has already caused a pronounced greening of the planet — especially in arid regions. For tens of millions of years, plants have been coping with a “CO2 famine.” Current CO2 concentrations of a few hundred parts per million (ppm) are close to starvation levels compared to the several thousand ppm that prevailed over most of history. We support the cost-effective control of real pollutants associated with the use of fossil fuels — for example, fly ash, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur or smog-forming volatile hydrocarbons. But CO2 isn’t a pollutant, and there’s no reason to control it. Second, the “warming” from CO2 — and yes, CO2 is a “greenhouse gas” — has been much less than predicted by the climate models Obama bases his policies on. For 20 years, the temperature has been virtually unchanged, in stark contrast to model predictions.

The war on fossil fuels isn’t based on science but on unreliable climate models. Rather than trying to correct the models, Team Obama is trying to “dispute the science” by trying to manufacture scary warming trends. A recent letter to the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology by more than 300 experts on data quality pointed out that the feds’ attempt to erase or ignore evidence of the recent lack of global warming arguably violated the Data Quality Act of 2001, which requires that “highly influential scientific assessments,” bearing the imprimatur of the federal government, be subject to rigorous external peer review. It exposes the hollowness of the left’s claim that “97 percent of scientists” support Team Obama’s version of climate science. Satellite measurements of atmospheric temperatures are the genuine gold standard — and they show negligible warming for the past two decades. Since the Obama administration can’t read just satellite data (as they have tried to do with surface data), they have unleashed a campaign to discredit the satellite temperature record. The observational record indicates that the temperature increase by the year 2100 will be less than 1 degree Celsius as a result of CO2 emissions. This small temperature increase, together with the robust benefits to plants and agriculture, will benefit the world. How about other concerns? Some claim that more CO2 causes extreme weather, accelerating a rise in sea levels or other horrors. But extensive global measurements reveal no increase in extreme weather: The trends in tornadoes, droughts, floods and hurricanes are flat over the past generation. Sea levels are rising at about the same rate they did before the rising concentrations of CO2 during the past century. Inexpensive, reliable energy from fossil fuels has raised living standards in the developed world to levels that only the wealthy could dream of a few centuries ago. Eliminating fossil fuels would do nothing to stop climate change, but it would keep much of the developing world in poverty. Rising energy costs would hurt the less privileged populations of the developed world as well. Bravo for the Supreme Court’s vote for solid science! Will Happer, professor of physics, emeritus at Princeton University and Rod Nichols, former president of the New York Academy of Sciences, are members of the CO2 Coalition (CO2Coalition.org).

PRAIRIEVIEW
Putting an end to expensive nonsense by Herman Schwenk Last week I was made privy to two reports on global warming. Now I know some of you are probably getting sick and tired of me ranting on this subject but I have read just about everything I could get my hands on with regard to this issue for the past 20 years. I cannot print every thing that is in those reports in this column but I will highlight some pertinent information. What these reports confirm is what I have been saying and writing for years. The environmentalists and media reports have hijacked the issue of global Schwenk warming being caused by C02 to fit their agenda for a long time. One report stated that carbon dioxide is emphatically NOT a “pollutant”. All living things are built of carbon that comes from C02. An increase in essential C02 in the atmosphere will be a huge benefit to plants and agriculture. Satellite measurements show that the increase of C02 over the last few decades has already caused a pronounced greening of the planet. For tens of millions of years, plants have been coping with a “C02 famine.” Current C02 concentrations of a few hundred ppm are close to starvation levels compared to what prevailed over most of history. Several years ago I wrote a column in which I stated that at a minimum, C02 concentrations needed to be twice what they are now for optimum plant growth. This report suggests that we need more carbon, not less. What I learned was that eco-activists and “green” scientists love to claim that the last decade or the past year has been the hottest on record. These alarmist claims are mostly based on readings from land-based weather stations. Many of these stations record city heat island temperatures. These temperatures are not as reliable as satellite-based readings that

are taken over the entire face of the planet many hundreds of thousands of times a day. Satellite measurements of atmospheric temperatures show negligible warming for the past two decades. President Obama invited “anybody who wants to dispute the science around climate change ----to have at it.” Well, his Supreme Court did. They upheld a delay of Obama’s war on fossil fuels. Apparently a majority of the court is less confident of the “science around climate change” than he is. “Since the Obama administration can’t read just satellite data, they have unleashed a campaign to discredit the satellite temperature record.” A study was released that found, just as the United Nations own inter-government panel on climate change found in 2013, the world’s global warming stopped in 1998. The fascinating thing about this new study is that it findings are over a time period when greenhouse gases were rising rapidly, “The results support previous findings of a reduced rate of surface warming over the 2001-2014 period.” During this time the temperature varied between minus 0.05 and +0.15 Celsius per decade. Now the UN has come and said that the warming has stopped. What is it going to take for the media, environmentalists and politicians of the western world to come to their senses? If this kind of information was disseminated at the same rate as all the misinformation that we are subjected to day after day the public would soon put an end to this expensive nonsense. The idea that global warming has stopped is “frightening” the people who make their living off of scaring the public about global warming. Unless the public can somehow be convinced that global warming is a fraud perpetrated by vested interests, hundreds of billions of dollars will be spent on this nonsense and we will all be worse off.

LEGISLATURE
Digging canals with a spoon
Rick Strankman, MLA for Drumheller-Stettler Some years ago, there was a story about a federal Cabinet Minister and an Opposition MP who got into some back-and-forth banter about jobs. The Minister insisted that he and the members of his governing party had single-handedly created a large number of new jobs. Rather than accepting the statement as fact, the Opposition MP asked the Minister to explain. How exactly had he and his government created the new positions? If they really did have a sure-fire formula for job creation, why had they stopped at 20,000 new jobs or 30,000? Why hadn’t they created 60,000 new jobs or even 100,000? It soon became apparent that the
Minister couldn’t explain where jobs come from or how they’re actually created. Neither did he seem to understand that employment and wealth creation are different things. Not all jobs are equal. Some jobs consume wealth, while others create it. Wealth-creating jobs always add value. Paying someone to do work that doesn’t need doing can create a job, but if the cost of creating the position exceeds the value added, the job will actually consume wealth rather than expand or create it. In other words, there really are jobs that pay people to be inefficient or to do work that doesn’t need doing. An example of this can be seen in a famous story told by a Nobel Prize winning economist who toured Asia.

Graveyard of rotting rail cars
Dear Editor, I sent a photo and letter that was published in the Feb. 17 issue of the ECA Review. As a result I received sympathetic condolences but absolutely nothing changed – except that more rotting railcars were added to the Alliance landscape. I repeat, we are totally in favour of the rotting rail cars added to our line in order to raise funding for the excellent service the Battle River Railway (BBR) provides to the grain farmers. We just want the damned things outside of the village. My plea to the “powers-that-be” apparently fell on deaf or disinterested ears. So I repeat, if for some strange reason we can’t move the ugly beasts
out of the village parameters then at least provide a three-car break when parked in front of picture windows of the citizens. Is it really okay to inconvenience the citizens in order to welcome a graveyard of rotting rail cars? At this time I would like to extend an invitation to the BBR board members to come to our house for coffee and understand the ugly view they have provided us with. BBR board members, Ken Eshpeter, Reg Enright, John Oberg, Scott Jackson, Howard Vincett, Dennis Freadrich, Jerry Weller and Norman Miller, you’re welcome to have your next meeting here.

“
If a new job doesn’t
facilitate the process of adding value and creating wealth, private companies won’t create new positions.
“
The economist was shocked to see that not a single piece of earth-moving equipment was employed. Instead, massive numbers of workers had been equipped with shovels. The economist turned to the government bureaucrat travelling with him to ask why machines and heavy equipment weren’t being used. The bureaucrat responded, “Oh, you misunderstand. This is a jobs program.” The economist replied, “Oh, I thought you were trying to build a canal. If it’s more jobs you want, why didn’t you give these men spoons instead of shovels?” The bureaucrat didn’t connect the ideas of jobs, value and wealth. The economist did. Historically, many governments have tended to view jobs as existing apart from value or wealth. The private sector is quite different. If a new job doesn’t facilitate the process of adding value and creating wealth, private companies won’t create new positions. The fact is that governments, generally speaking, don’t create jobs. The

best they can do is establish policies that allow private investors to create jobs. It’s a co-labourship. Government’s role is to be the midwife, creating an environment that enables human creativity to be exercised. To attract investment, government has to restrain taxes; avoid unnecessary regulation; ensure that the rules are reasonable, predictable, and reliable; and stay away from vilifying business and industry. If the private sector feels it can trust the government, it will respond to this environment by risking its investment capital, thereby creating jobs. Unfortunately, Alberta’s current government has spent almost an entire year erecting obstacles and sending negative signals to the business and investment community. The result is that many investors are pulling out. To be sure, energy prices are down, but energy prices are down everywhere. Yet only in Alberta do we see the kind of mistrust and animosity that has emerged between government and business.

Concept of a solar farm.
ECA Review/Submitted
Solar cooperative project a first for Alberta submitted by Kristina Groves Due to a growing need and demand for community owned renewable energy projects, a team of visionaries, co-operative developers and solar experts have come together to form Alberta Solar Co-op. Alberta Solar Co-op is a member-investor organization that brings together local capital to fund local investment in green energy production. Alberta Solar Co-op is currently creating the working model for future community owned solar farms in the province and they plan to launch their first project this year. An Alberta resident will have the opportunity to become a member of their co-operative and directly invest in this renewable energy project. Members will essentially own solar panels that need not be placed on their home, yet still provide electricity to their communities, including themselves. Alberta Solar Co-op will issue investment shares to Albertans who would like to become owners in the
project. These shares will be RRSP and TFSA eligible, allowing members to transfer investment from an existing RRSP/TFSA account into the project. The first project will be a one to two Megawatt (MV)solar PV installation which will feed in directly to the Alberta power pool and make a significant contribution towards greening our overall grid. The two Megawatt solar farm, whose location has yet to be finalized, will power over 400 homes, offset over 2000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year and will be equivalent to planting over 10,000 trees. “What we’re trying to do is build a model with this first project that we can replicate elsewhere in the province,” said Kristina Groves, four-time Olympic medalist in speed skating and board member of Alberta Solar Co-op. “It’s a place for Albertans to invest in renewable energy. Not a lot of people can afford a full system for their roof, or they don’t have the right orientation, so this is a way they can invest and see a dividend over time.”

Looking for support to protect water supply
submitted by John Kloberdanz, PAWM Chair The Prairie Association for water management (P.A.W.M.) was incorporated about 30 years ago as a nonprofit grassroots association whose mission was to assist in managing Alberta’s water resources effectively among current and future water users. The reality of water scarcity risks such as prolonged drought and increasing demands by industry and urban expansion make it imperative that all Alberta municipalities, businesses and industries conserve water and use it as efficiently and productively as possible. The initial focus was to work to draw attention to the need for an improved water distribution system for households and livestock in the drought-prone areas of East Central Alberta. The water supply project, through pipelines and canals, would provide increased reliability of water supply for household and domestic use, stock watering, municipal and industrial use, waterfowl
and wildlife conservation and enhancement, recreation and a limited amount of irritation mainly to ensure feed supply for livestock. This work is slowly progressing and it is hoped that present and future provincials governments will recognize the importance of this project and its ability to bring economic stability to the rural communities of that area. Additionally, PAWM continues to work towards advancing public awareness about the issues of Alberta’s current regulatory frame work and water policies as they affect the quality and quantity of our surface and ground water supplies. The prevalence of the use of hydraulic fracturing by oil and gas developments and the short and long term effects of this practice is a great concern to many stakeholders and particularly to those in agriculture whose land would be rendered wortless and totally unproductive should their water wells, their only source of water for domestic and livestock use, be made

Tender bids lower than expected for Delburne project Debra Johnston
ECA Review reporter Nine companies submitted bids to the Village of Delburne for the 21 Avenue project with the lowest bid $650,000 below budget. Foran Equipment of Crossfield was the lowest bid at $879,666.62 including tax. Council moved to accept the lowest bid for the project at the Mar. 8 regular meeting. When contacted for comment, a Foran representative confirmed that the company is also working on a project in Trochu and may try to piggyback the two projects together. Foran is working on projects as far away as Medicine Hat. According to the rep, it has been a tough year but the company has

The Village has been invited to speak at the conference about the fourmonth long Belonging project that began in 2013 and, according to Tamarack, involved 48 per cent of Delburne’s population. Tamarack Institute for Community Engagement is a charity that provides learning tools or “learning communities” promoting social change at the community level.

Sorry for Laich? Maybe, maybe not by Bruce Penton Brooks Laich must feel like the guy waiting in line for a couple of hours to ride the best ferris wheel in the world and then, finally getting to the front, hearing those awful words: “Sorry, closed for the day.” For 12 years, Laich stood in line for the Washington Capitals, never getting to the front — until this year. Finally, the ferris wheel ride would be his: The Caps are the best team in the league and one of a couple of teams figuring to be strong favourites to win the Stanley Cup. Until … trade deadline day arrived on Feb. 29, and Laich was shipped to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sorry, back of the line, buddy. But don’t feel sorry for Brooks Laich, the 32-year-old pride of Wawota, Sask. The guy has a few million dollars in the bank, thanks to a healthy contract he signed recently that pays him $4.5 million a year. He’s engaged to a famous movie star, Julianne Hough, who starred in the recent TV movie Grease and was a TV regular as a twotime Dancing with the Stars champion and more recently a judge on the same show. He has a loving family back in Wawota and a whole community who follows his every move. So Laich has the money, the pretty girl and a reverence among fans in Washington, who loved his willingness to interact as a “regular guy” with Washington fans. He made headlines a few years ago by making a late-night highway stop to change a flat tire on a Caps’ fan’s car after she and her daughter had just watched Laich’s Capitals get eliminated from

March is “nutrition month”! submitted by Megan Beynon (Deleff), RD, AHS March is “nutrition month”! Dietitians in Alberta Health Services across the province are inspiring Albertans to make a change: one meal at a time. Are you ready to improve your health? Now is the time to make small changes at mealtimes that can have big results. To help make these changes easier, dietitians have put together Nutrition Month tips and ideas. You can find these atwww.ahs.ca/ NutritionMonth. To get started, try one or more of these small changes: Boost your breakfast with fibre and protein. A nutrient-packed breakfast will help you get through the morning. How can you boost the fibre and protein in your breakfast? ·Choose whole grain cereals, breads and tortillas. ·Look for cereals and breads that have two grams or more of fibre per serving. ·Include foods from the meat and alternatives or milk and alternatives group on Canada’s Food Guide. Try items such as yogurt, cheese, meat, eggs, peanut butter, nuts, seeds or cooked beans or lentils. Great breakfast ideas that have both fibre and protein are: ·Whole grain toast with peanut butter ·Breakfast burrito made with a whole wheat tortilla, vegetables, cheese and scrambled eggs ·Cooked oatmeal with apples and nuts ·Smoothie with yogurt, frozen fruit, milk and raw bran ·Homemade blueberry bran muffin and cheese Make healthy lunch a habit. A healthy lunch provides much needed fuel and nutrients to help you focus
during your work day. Some easy time-saving tips for lunches are: ·Pack up supper leftovers for readyto-go lunches. ·Wash and cut up vegetables and fruit the night before. Put into small plastic containers or bags. ·Change it up. Sandwiches, wraps and pitas are quick and healthy lunch options. Need lunch ideas? See “What’s for lunch?” found at www.healthyeatingstartshere.ca If you choose to eat out at lunch, make healthier choices: ·Choose lower-fat lunch choices such as baked, grilled, and roasted menu items. ·Choose vegetables and salads instead of fries. Limit the amount of dressings and sauces. ·Downsize portions. Pack half of your entrée in a to-go container for another meal. For more tips see “Eating out the healthy way” found at www.healthyeatingstartshere.ca Dish up a healthy dinner plate. When deciding what to have for dinner, use Health Canada’s Eat Well Plate. The Eat Well Plate recommends: ·Fill half of your plate with vegetables and fruit. ·Include different whole grains such as whole grain rice, barley, couscous, quinoa at each meal. ·Choose lean meats or meat alternatives. ·Drink skim, 1%, or 2% milk, or fortified soy beverage to round out your meal. ·Include a small amount of healthy fat such as olive oil, canola oil or nuts. Use different herbs and spices to flavour meals instead of adding salt. Buy low sodium varieties of condiments and use small amounts. Quick and easy meals found on

Grazing alternatives in a dry spring
Agri-News While Karin Lindquist, forage/beef specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, recognizes that producers are anxious to get their cows to pasture this spring, she recommends producers hold off until the right time to increase optimized forage utilization and available grazing days to reduce feed costs. But what can producers do in the interim, especially if feed supplies are dwindling? As hay may be limited, some producers can incorporate alternate feeds such as pea straw or silage, small grains like oats and barley, or byproducts like wheat middlings or dried distiller’s grains. “Barley and oat grain supplies are currently the cheapest feed alternatives to consider that will help prolong feed supplies” says Lindquist. Considering forages do not hit their optimal leaf stage/height until midMay for northern Alberta, and mid to late-April for southern Alberta, producers may need to get a bit more creative: “Producers can utilize crop-residue grazing by sectioning off the field with temporary electric fencing to strip graze, or by stockpiling grazing areas that have not been previously grazed for some time.”
Still, Lindquist heeds farmers to proceed with caution: “Stockpiling can also set back spring growth if there are young plants coming up in the stockpiled or non-grazed stand.” And there are no guarantees when it comes to quality of stockpiled forages. “Quality may be poor if grasses have not retained nutrients throughout the winter, and have been leached with early melting.” Supplementing cattle with grain or feed pellets will also help reduce grazing pressure and get cattle to consume less stockpiled forage. “Creep feeding calves at 50 to 60 days of age with a 16 per cent protein feed will help alleviate the increased nutritional requirements of lactating cows because it puts less pressure on those cows to eat higher quality feeds for optimum milk production to raise a good-sized, 600 pound calf at weaning” says Lindquist. This also gives cows the opportunity to put on weight if they have fallen short on body condition over the winter. By deferring grazing in a dry spring, forages have a wider window of opportunity to grow, ultimately providing more feed and nutrients for cattle, with the possibility of regrazing later in the year.

Deferred grazing for a dry spring
Agri-News Pasture recovery is an important topic for Alberta producers on the heels of last year’s dry conditions, particularly given this year’s poor snow cover in the central and southern regions of Alberta. “If we have a dry spring, producers will need to balance potential feed shortages with the need to protect their recovering pastures” says Karin Lindquist, forage/beef specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. Pasture quality is key to maximizing the grazing season, so don’t get in a rush to get your cows on the greeningup pasture. “Typically, animals should not begin grazing until pasture forages are at least eight to 12 inches tall, or at the four or five-leaf stage, which is usually in mid-May for northern Alberta, and mid to late-April for southern Alberta.” Early grazing can set the pasture back several weeks or months, and nutrient quality is lacking, “when cattle are consuming plants at emergence, they are getting 90 to 95 per cent water rather than essential nutrients like energy and protein” says Lindquist. So what’s the science behind deferring spring grazing? “Plants use energy stored in their roots to begin growth, and do not start generating their own energy with their leaves through photosynthesis until they are at the second to third-leaf stage” says Lindquist. However, nutrients from the roots continue to be used for growth by the plant until after the plant reaches the fourth or fifth leaf stage.
“After that, energy is primarily produced from the leaves via photosynthesis, and extra energy is stored in the roots,” says Lindquist. The recovery time will ultimately maximize or extend available grazing days: “The rule we use is this: if producers are looking to extend grazing into the fall, for every day early they put their cattle out to graze in the spring, they may have three less days to graze in the fall.”
Livestock inventory
Agri-News The January 1, 2016 Canadian livestock inventory estimates were released by Statistics Canada and Jason Wood, provincial livestock market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry says there were marginal changes and few surprises. “Due to lower domestic slaughter and exports, inventory estimates reported a marginal increase in Canadian cattle. In Alberta, total cattle inventories saw a 0.4 per cent increase, while hogs increased 1.7 per cent in numbers. Conversely, Alberta sheep decreased 6.9 per cent from the previous year as farmers reduced herds” says Wood. Beef replacement heifers were up 4.0 per cent on a national scale, and comparatively in Alberta at 5.2 per cent. “Alberta had the strongest retention of beef replacement heifers, followed by Saskatchewan and Manitoba.” Turn to Inventories, Pg 15
