School calendar approved Bryan Passifiume

ECA Review Reporter The Prairie Land School Division reapproved the 2013-2014 school calendar during the board meeting on Wednesday, March 20.

The school calendar had been previously approved on Friday, February 15, but re-opened after the results of a boardwide parent survey were analyzed.

Two additional professional development days in late August were the only changes made to the calendar.

The school board made these changes after analyzing the report from the survey. According to the survey, the board indicated that the quality of instruction was more important in student achievement than the number of days of instruction, evenly dispersed breaks respect the priorities of families and provide the necessary down time for students and faculty and more time for professional development was needed to improve the effectiveness of teachers.

Diploma exam results Deputy Superintendent Cam McKeage presented the January 2013 diploma exam results to the board, revealing results that ranged above and below provincial averages.

Prairie Land students scored above the provincial average in English 30-1 and Social Studies 30-2. Students scored ‘significantly’ below the provincial average in Mathematics 30-1 and 30-2, Biology 30 and Social Studies 30-1.

On a school by school basis, Consort, Morrin and Delia outperformed other schools in Alberta in Mathematics 30-2, Biology 30 and Social Studies 30-1.

Education, the four-year agreement includes a three year salary freeze and a two per cent increase in 2015 with a one percent signing bonus. The agreement also limits a teacher’s annual instructional time to 907 hours per year, gives the teachers the ability to appeal the decisions of school board superintendents and includes a review of teacher workload.

The Prairie Land School Division took issue with several parts of the agreement, stating that they feel the agreement will turn educational priorities into negotiated points in a labour contract and ‘erode the board’s ability to prioritize student learning and well-being.’ Specifically, the board is concerned about the agreement’s unclear definition of instructional time, the creation of a work environment based on ‘appeal the grievance’ instead of one built on ‘role clarity’ and the ‘delineation of duties.’

The board must ratify the agreement by Monday, May 13.

2013 Budget As reported in last week’s edition of the Review, the 2013 Provincial Budget resulted in a 0.2 per cent increase to funding for the Prairie Land School Division. The board’s position is that the funding increase represents a ‘positive shift’ to the equity of rural education funding in Alberta. The board feels that the increased funding from the Equity of Opportunity grants is an indication of the province’s increased commitment to the funding of rural education.

The school board has announced that it will advocate for the reinstatement of the fuel price contingency grant, an inclusion of colony schools to the student density formula and an increase to the student density factor. The province currently caps the student density grant entitlement at one student per three square kilometres, while the current reality is one student per six kilometres.

Village to elect council by lots Bryan Passifiume

ECA Review With discussion brewing over the Town of Coronation’s history of appointing the town’s mayor among elected councillors, one small east central Alberta village has decided to go public with their unique method of municipal governance.

The small community of Comet, located about 30 kilometres north of Hanna, eschews the use of secret ballots to elect their hamlet’s politicians. In fact, the community has done away with nominations and election campaigns altogether.

Instead, the 57 citizens of Comet gather every three years to decide amongst themselves who will lead the hamlet council by forcing everybody to draw lots.

The process is simple. Fifty-seven identical pieces of straw are selected from the town’s vast straw supply and placed in a fine china vase and each citizen takes their turn pulling their piece. The individual who draws the straw with the end dipped in black shoe polish becomes mayor for the next three years.

At first glance, this unusual method of determining municipal leadership doesn’t sound conventional, or even legal. What sets Comet apart, according to hamlet CAO Constance Liprasloof, is the community’s unique status in Alberta’s law.

“When Alberta’s first census was taken in 1914, our community was left out,” Liprasloof told the Review. “This means that, on paper at least, our community doesn’t exist.”

This quirk in provincial law gives Comet virtual carte blanche in how it governs its affairs. A little-known section of Alberta’s Municipal Governance Act grants certain immunities to what it calls “unincorporated municipal corporations” which is what gives Comet its unprecedented freedom.

How this freedom came to be is disputed. Local legend says that on the night the census taker was to visit Comet, dense fog obscured the hamlet’s railway station from view. Assuming the train had just stopped to take on water, the census taker chose not to disembark at Comet and continued on to Scapa, the next stop on the line.

When the province’s first census divisions were published two years later, town

Clearview Community Meetings Clearview Public Schools Board of Trustees has announced a series of community meetings throughout the school division. These meetings will provide an opportunity for Trustees and staff to discuss with school communities the current financial and educational outlook of our schools.

These meetings will also give the public an opportunity to provide feedback and participate in a question and answer period. Discussion will include enrolment trends, school revenues and expenses, deficits and reserves.

All meetings are open to the public and will commence at 7:00 p.m. with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

founders were surprised to find that Comet didn’t exist on any government documents, maps or tax rolls -- despite operating a railway station, a successful seed cleaning plant, a Masonic temple and a post office. Either by design or procrastination, nobody from Comet chose to contact the provincial government to correct the error. As time went on, the small community continued to thrive -- despite not officially existing.

The history of Comet’s electoral system has an even stranger history. While the secret ballot is the current standard for legal elections in Canada, this was not always the case. Indeed, Sir John A. Macdonald himself was elected to his first federal office in 1844 by 275 “shouts” in favour against his opponent (history would prove that he plied his supporters with copious amounts of alcohol to ensure his victory.)

Comet’s first municipal election took place in 1908, with the mayor and two aldermen being elected by a show of hands in the basement of the Presbyterian church. This method of voting, however, fell into disfavour after the mayor was forcibly removed from office in 1910 after he was involved in a cow milking scandal.

The fallout from the controversy resulted in nobody wanting to put their names forward to replace the mayor. Facing dissolution of the community, it was decided that every citizen in Comet be entered into a mandatory straw drawing to determine leadership.

This unique system has led to some interesting periods in Comet’s history. In 1923 dairy farmer Thomas Riddle passed a by-law decreeing that all buildings in town be painted red, green and white in honour of Bulgaria, his home country.

Five years later Filipino immigrant Ricardo Marquez made Comet’s official language Tagalog and decreed that the hamlet become the first balut production facility in Canada. The period between 1932 and 1934 was governed by a four year old girl, who not only managed to balance the community’s books but also oversaw construction of Alberta’s first gravity-fed underground sewage system.

While the balut plant currently sits silent and the green and red paint peels forlornly from the closed seed cleaning plant, the citizens of Comet still honour the traditions of their forefathers by keeping their unusual system of governance alive. As the mayoral term of 32 year old oilfield worker Jarobi White comes to a close this October, he looks back on his term with a mix of sentimentality and regret.

“While my fellow councillors disagreed with my decision to turn Sullivan Lake into a wave pool, I feel that I’ve made great strides in my term as mayor,” he said. “I just hope whoever becomes our next mayor doesnt repeal my by-law legalizing the use of monster trucks inside town limits.”

“I really enjoy doing that,” he added.

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math.

Chevron and the United States Golf Association (USGA) are bringing science to life by showing how STEM studies play a big role in the game of golf. This page is the second in a series of special Kid Scoop pages created through this partnership.

USGA rules say that a golf ball can weigh no more than 1.62 oz (45.93 grams), and have a diameter no less than 1.680 in (42.67 mm).

Golf balls can’t go any farther than 317 yards (289.9m) when hit at 120 mph by the USGA’s test robot, and they have to go the same distance no matter how you line them up.

Hotel fire ruled accidental Bryan Passifiume

ECA Review Reporter A late February fire that devastated the Pioneer Hotel in Sedgewick has been ruled accidental.

Emergency services received the call just after midnight on Friday, February 22 of smoke coming from the Pioneer Hotel.

The lone occupant of the building managed to escape unhurt before fire crews arrived.

Fire crews from Sedgewick and Killam worked well into the morning battling the blaze, but despite their efforts were unable to save the building. A family who resided

in a residence close to the fire scene was evacuated by emergency workers due to blowing smoke.

An investigation undertaken by the the Province of Alberta determined that the fire was accidental.

Nobody was injured in the fire.

The Sedgewick fire was the third hotel to burn in east central Alberta this winter.

The Veteran Hotel sustained serious damage on Saturday, December 15 after a fire in one of the rooms destroyed the top floor. The Commercial Hotel in Alliance was leveled by a three alarm blaze on Sunday, December 9.

Contractor chosen for Skatepark Bryan Passifiume

ECA Review Reporter A central Alberta skatepark is one step closer to becoming a reality after council selects a contractor to build it.

Five contractors responded to the town’s request for proposals, according to Lee Penner, Stetter’s director of parks and leisure services. Penner presented his report at the Tuesday, March 19 town council meeting.

Penner presented council with a weighted chart where each firm’s commitment to various aspects of the project were ranked and scored. These aspects ranged from meeting the scope of the proposal and their use of local businesses as suppliers to the project to their references from previous clients and their approachability.

Acting on the recommendation of Penner, council awarded the contract to New Line Skateparks, a BC-based design and construction firm with a portfolio of municipally-owned skateparks across Alberta.

“They’ve done a lot of parks in central Alberta, and that’s one of the most valuable things to us,” Penner said.

New Line constructed skate parks in Olds, Taber, Lacombe, Edmonton and AIrdrie. The company is set to open new parks in Medicine Hat and Red Deer in 2013.

The design of the park will be determined via collaboration with the company and local riders. Public input on the park will be gathered through a public open house to be held later this spring.

Fundraising for the skatepark has been almost entirely undertaken by the grassroots group Stettler Skatepark Association, formed by parents of young skateboarders concerned about the conditions of the current park. Organizers of the association state that the current park, located behind the Stettler Recrecation Centre, is unsafe and inadequate to the needs of the town’s skateboard community.

Penner told the Review that the park will cost around $300,000 to construct.

The senior basketball season ended on a high note for Coronation, as the boys team came back from the league finals in Wainwright on Tuesday, March 5 with a solid second place finish.

This was a season for firsts for both coach and playerS. This was head coach Dan Jones’ first season with the team, and it took some time before Jones’ style was accepted by the team.

Coach Jones, according to his players, took a radically different approach than the previous coaching staff. Jones concentrated on building a consistent offensive strategy using a low post offence. Jones also kept discipline on the team by using laps and push-ups as penalties for infractions during practice such as air balls or missed shots.

“They complained about the pushups at first,” Jones said. “But probably a month into it I asked them if they noticed that their arms weren’t as tired by the fourth quarter.”

“They quit complaining about the pushups after that,” Jones laughed. “[Coach Jones] makes sure everybody understands all of the plays properly,” said wing Herby Wold. “If you mess up on passes, you get pushups.”

Jones said that the team’s performance on the court improved as all of the new strategies he was introducing the team to kicked in.

Shooting guard and Grade 12 student Geoff Smith agreed that Jones’ style indeed took some getting used to, but the hard work paid off in the end.

“From where we were at the start of the season to where we ended up, there were drastic improvements,” Smith said.

“The season went really good,” he added. “The rookies really improved, and we played a solid season.”

Point guard Jerene Cole agreed, and credited the team’s success to their speed.

“We’re a fast team,” Cole said. “We have lots of speed, and I think that helped us out and pushed us Section 151 (3) of the Municipal Government through, especially Act requires that this bylaw be advertised to at the end of the season where condithe public prior to it receiving second and third tioning is part of the readings. game.”

Progressive tax or higher flat tax

A very important point was missed Dear Editor, I read with interest the editorial regarding the election of a mayor titled “Voters should elect their own mayor” in the March 21 issue of the Review.

I have worked with various boards and councils for the past 60 years. From my experience a very important point was missed, and that is the functionality of the council or board.

During my life time I have worked with boards where the president was elected by delegates at a convention and the rest of the board members were elected at their regional meetings. In at least two or three of these organizations the president refused to work with the other board members. He felt that he was not accountable to the board and ran the organization like a dictator. End result the board was dysfunctional.

The board and its leader - be it a mayor, president, reeve or what ever - has to work as a team to be productive. When a leader is elected from the council or board by members of the council or board they will pick some one they have confidence in and some one they can work with.

Having a mayor elected by the eligible citizens in large centers usually works, although I can remember about 25 years ago Calgary elected a mayor [whose name escapes me] that was at odds with the rest of the council for the entire term. It was a counter productive council.

I am of the firm opinion that Coronation would be well served by continuing the process of having the mayor elected by the council from the council. The mayor is accountable to the voters in the town regardless of how he or she is elected. If the person chosen cannot work with the council they can quickly choose another member of the council to be mayor whom they can work with.

Private schools, public money Dear Editor, School boards should question the provincial government as to why public money is being spent supporting private schools, so-called Christian schools and charter schools to the tune of $230 million per year while the public system goes begging for funds.

If Conservatives support the notion of “free enterprise”, why do they fund private schools using public money? Public schools are inconclusive whereas charter schools and private schools are not.

The notion that parents should have a choice for their children when it comes to their children’s education should have consequences/limitations. If parents want to opt out of the public system, that is their choice, but they should foot the bill, not the rest of society. We want children to be educated in a well-rounded, inclusive, non-partisan, secular educational environment, not one that segregates children.

PARLIAMENT

Building on a strong foundation Kevin Sorenson, Member of Parliament for Crowfoot is pleased with Economic Action Plan 2013’s commitment to continue focusing on creating jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity.

“Keeping taxes low and our steadfast commitment to a balanced federal budget by 2015 is good news for Alberta workers and their families,” Sorenson says.

“This Budget takes action by: helping Canadians actually connect with jobs they want; continuing to build infrastructure with a new Building Canada Plan; and, working to support Sorenson high-quality, value-added jobs in important sectors of the Canadian economy.

“These initiatives will be useful in our riding. We received funding from the first Building Canada Fund. Our local agriculture and energy sectors will benefit from this Budget’s providing: tax relief for new manufacturing equipment; a new Canada Job Grant; the creation of further opportunities for apprentices; and, the largest investment in job creating infrastructure in the history of Canada.”

“Budget 2013’s Community Improvement Fund will work to support local community projects in communities in our riding, and across Canada. I hope we can work with the new P3 Canada Fund – to support innovative ways to build infrastructure projects faster and provide better value for taxpayers through public-private partnerships.

“Since the depth of the global economic recession, the Canadian economy has created over 950,000 net new jobs – the best record among advanced economies.

“In Economic Action Plan 2012, we made a choice. We chose to take decisive action to ensure our economy will create good jobs and sustain a higher quality of life for hardworking Canadian families. Economic Action Plan 2013 builds on the strong foundation we laid last year – in fact, the strong foundation we have laid since 2006 – to create jobs, growth and long-term prosperity for hardworking Canadian families,” Sorenson concludes.

Dear Editor, The people of this province will have to, someday, introduce a progressive tax system over the present 10 per cent flat tax if they want to maintain our public health care system, our public school system, our public support for our senior citizens, our roads, our parks, or community hospitals, our law enforcement, etc.

All these things require ever increasing financial resources because the population of this province is growing every year.

Depending on our natural resources as our main source of revenue for these services is not working very well.

Either increase the flat tax to 20-25 per cent or introduce a progressive tax. Even introduce a sales tax to offset the fluctuating prices for our natural resources. We can’t keep robbing Peter to pay Paul, and we can’t continue to operate our government services on a beer budget while expecting a very high level of services.

ECA REVIEW

Breeders’ Section Returns per acre Cont’d from Pg 7 The tripling effect may be what is needed to keep cattle on land where there are other options.

Are these real possibilities?

Well, returning to records provided by the North Dakota Farm Management Program (www.ndfarmmanagement. com) that are available on the FINBIN site (www.finbin.umn. edu/) from the Center for Farm Financial Management at the University of Minnesota, the answer is yes and the goal is achievable.

If we look at the spread between those producers who are the top 40 percent in net return per cow versus those who are the lower 40 percent, we can get a feel for how much some producers are leaving on the table at the end of the day.

Keying in on the last time the lower 40 percent actually had a positive net return since 2011, we will use 2006 as our start year. In 2006, the difference between the upper and lower 40 percent of producers in net return per cow was $161.

In 2007, the figure was $185, in 2008 the difference was $191, in 2009 it was $172, in 2010 it was $191 and in 2011 it was $223.

So the answer is yes. Using these two groups of cattle producers, a goal of increasing income by $100 and lowering expenses by $100 would be realistic for those producers

who are achieving lower net returns and admirable goals for those who are at the upper end of net returns. The average difference from the lower return group and the upper return group was $187 per cow per year.

If we are to base the discussion off the producer who averages a net return over direct and overhead expenses of $90 during the 2006 to 2011 period, our goal would be to increase the net returns over direct and overhead expenses to $290 per cow per year.

If calculated on the previous acre example, per-acre returns would be more than $17. This can be done. In fact, in the FINBIN data set, the top 20 percent of cow-calf producers had an average net return over direct and overhead expenses of $362 in 2011.

The time is always right to talk about great opportunities.

However, the time also is right to dream and ask, “why not?”

The challenge of meeting the goal is doable. To meet the challenge is not going to be easy, and often little data is available to guide management decisions. However, the time is right.

Let’s get pen and paper to look at the data we have. After that, let’s do some calculating and get out of the old mind-set to figure out how to meet the goal.

Breeders’ Section Survival comes before expansion in the cow business

By Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist, North enjoy the more structured time crop operDakota State University Extension Service ations offer, especially the time off that is What would you say if someone told you not always available for those who engage that 40 percent of the cow-calf producers are struggling to justify being in the beef business?

After all, the cattle business is a great business and currently humming along through great times.

If that is true, why is the industry not expanding?

Good question and certainly a relevant one.

We can speculate on the many reasons why the cattle numbers are what they are.

In anticipation of this spring’s summaries of agricultural enterprises provided by the Yearling North Dakota Farm Management Program Red Angus Bulls (NDFM) (www.ndfarmmanagement.com), I have been reviewing previous numbers.

With the increasing competition for land and competing crops, the big question is: Why run cattle? Returns from crop enterprises are good, and many will say they

If one reviews net returns per cow, and without going too far back in time, cattle

producers certainly have had positive net returns.

Rebuild your

Lewis Cattle Oiler

Little incentive for those struggling to stay afloat Cont’d from Pg 10 From 2006 through 2011, cattle producers who were enrolled in the NDFM program generally have had positive net returns over direct and overhead expenses.

The actual net return values were $182 in 2011, $111 in 2010, minus $13 in 2009, $12 in 2008, $98 in 2007 and $105 in 2006. It will be interesting to see where these numbers are for 2012, but one would speculate that the industry had positive net returns over direct and overhead expenses.

Are these numbers high enough to keep producers in business? Yes, but let’s look at those producers who were at the lower end of net returns, which are those producers who were in the lower 40 percent bracket.

This group was in the black in 2011 and 2006, but lost money in 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007. The actual net returns over direct and overhead expenses were a positive $76 per cow in 2011, minus $3 in 2010, minus $120 in 2009, minus $91 in 2008, minus $6 in 2007 and a positive $18 in 2006.

The long and short of it is that this group of cattle producers has had to find some other enterprise to pay for an average of $21 per year, per cow for direct and overhead expenses because the cow could not pay her costs.

That may not seem like much, but also what was lost was the opportunity to do something that may have made more money on the same land.

Why do producers who have negative returns through six years remain in the cow business? Speculation is just speculation. The bottom line for the bottom 40 percent of this sample of producers is that the cows are not paying their way.

Why expand or even stay in the cow business? For the cattle operations that

Saving You Time with our

are in the lower 40 percent for net returns per cow, the average gross margin from 2011 back to 2006 was $500. Total direct and overhead expenses averaged $521 for the same period for an average loss of $21 per cow.

As noted earlier, times are good in the cattle business.

However, some serious flags are waving. High income and low expenses are good partners, but high expenses do not partner well with anything. Any lowering of revenue for high-cost operations will take out the option of staying in the cattle business.

Cattle expansion is not a given. Unfortunately, there is a very serious play for land that can be used for more profitable agricultural enterprises. There is very little incentive for those operators who are struggling to stay afloat to keep the cow operation.

Let me repeat myself. In the current world, the competition from the energy- and food-producing sectors of agriculture is real. This competition will drive costs up and, given Mother Nature’s hesitation to provide moisture, the competition gets tougher. Cost control is the driver for sustaining beef operations and is achieved by the continual evaluation of the planning process.

For now, the point remains: What would you say if someone told you 40 percent of the cow-calf producers are struggling to justify being in the beef business? The cost of production is a simple fact, so plan well as the 2013 year engages.

Survival comes before expansion.

Ski hill as good as it gets!

Diane Dammann

ECA Review Submitted Jullian Berry of Calgary was at the ski hill on Sunday. He is on Easter break from school and will spend the holiday in Alliance with his uncle Ryan and family.

It was as good as it gets at the ski hill on Sunday. The weather was perfect, the snow was good and there were lots of folks out for the last day of skiing. The kids had a great time on the tubes, coming down a special area in the middle of the hill. We are so blessed to have such a facility in our midst.

The Food Bank collected $205 from the Alliance Market on Wednesday. Each month there is a contribution made and it makes a real difference to the area residents in the whole county who are in need of assistance. This month I won the cake, just when I decided to get serious about losing some weight.

There was a beautiful hydranga plant on the early bird draw at the Women’s Institute table at the market. Donna Chalifoux won the plant. No calories in that win.

Mary Wold and a couple of friends went on a bus tour to the country music show in Kamloops, BC. They had a great time.

Our Bigway Grocery store is sold. The new owners will take over on April 2. For the time being there is a 25 per cent off inventory reduction sale. Barb Hogg will continue at the store working with the new owners.

The train has sure been busy with oil

and grain cars coming and going a couple of times a week. Be sure that you check out the rail crossings, the train is bigger than you and it can’t stop fast.

Preparations are falling into place for the big dinner and dance fundraiser for the passenger car. It will be April 13 in Alliance. I think it is sold out.

Breeders’ Section When you choose what to eat, your choice impacts your community Dear Editor, I wanted to thank you for the profiles in the recent “Salute to the hands that feeds us” section. Don Ruzicka, TK Ranch and other producers like them are our teachers and mentors and we are proud to be trying to follow in their footsteps. It didn’t pass my attention that at the heart of Mr. Schwenk’s comments was the usual agribusiness message of ‘get big or get out’.

May I just remind your readers that if they want to see schools and hospitals and other services in their community, they may want to consider the population that is needed to sustain rural infrastructure and consider supporting the mediumsized family farms that keep people in the rural, support the local businesses, and provide the populace to educate, feed and to keep healthy.

I was fortunate to travel the world and see how other cultures live. Through that I learned to greatly value the rural culture and values that I grew up in. My husband and I returned to his family farm and are committed to being part of

vibrant, thriving communities and I feel proud that I directly feed more families as a local food producer than I would as a commodity farmer. When you choose what to eat, you are making a choice that impacts you and your community.

If you lament the loss of the rural schools, health care

OBITUARY

Maymie loved working for the Lord and being in the choir MYERS - Maymie Opal Duer Myers was born in Gaylord, Kansas on September 13, 1910 to Charles and Clementine Duer.

She moved in the spring of 1911 with her parents and two year old sister, Ellen, to homestead 18 miles southeast of Coronation. There, four more girls and one boy were added to the family: Rachel, Edna, Annie, Janie and Josiah.

Maymie took her schooling at Kirkpatrick School from Grade one to six and took grades seven and eight in High River where she stayed with relatives.

She returned home and worked for whoever needed help, looking after children, Myers cooking, milking cows or driving horses.

In 1930, on October 29 she married Ben Myers. They lived a mile from the Duer homestead until 1935, when they moved to the Hemaruka community to continue farming and raising cattle.

They raised their five children on this farm: Charles, Grace, Ennis, Leon and Gail. She was a dedicated and loving mother. They still laugh about the words, “Wait until your father gets home.”

She worked hard outside with chores like raising ducks and geese. She could drive a team of horses while bucking hay into a stack. She would stand on the end of the buck and when she got to the slide she would turn the team around to get the next load.

Maymie was always active in the community whether it was with church, Sunday school or organizations such as the Red Cross, Alberta Women’s Institute and the Kirkpatrick Telephone association.

She was also leader of a girl’s gardening club and she liked to write. She submitted articles and stories to the Western Producer, Free Press, the Country Guide and many others.

When Ben started working for the Special Areas and Ennis came back to the farm, they moved to Cereal in 1964.

Having always enjoyed whipping up biscuits and fried chicken, Maymie started cooking for pay at the BA Restaurant by the highway.

In 1968, they moved to Youngstown and Maymie cooked at the Youngstown Home.

By 1971 she had received her Journeyman Cook certificate. She also got certified to do reflexology, which proved to be a painful experience for many.

In 1975 when Maymie retired, they moved to Hanna and soon became very involved in the Bowling Leagues. It seemed then an appointment was needed to make sure they were home when family came for a visit!

They took over Charles’ house after his family moved to Peace River.

With Ben’s help the whole back yard became a garden with lots of fresh produce.

Maymie loved working for the Lord and being in the choir at the Bethel

The programs at the Senior Circle and later at the Manor were fun times for her.

In February of 1997, Ben passed away at the Hanna Hospital. This was hard for Maymie and there were many lonely days.

In September 2001, she moved down the block to the Hanna Lodge. With the help of the staff, she kept active, enjoying the visiting and games.

After a lengthy stay in the hospital because of pneumonia, she was forced to move to the Long Term Care Facility. She knew she wasn’t going to like it there but was soon won over by the loving staff, many of whom she knew from around town or from the Lodge.

OBITUARIES

Always remembered for his love of horses and his joy of living SUNTJENS - Lawrence was born February 8, 1925, the fourth child of big Henry and Marie Suntjens. He grew up and took his schooling at West Wingham School, 20 miles south of Coronation.

Lawrence grew up fast. At an early age he had to work hard and was expected to do a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. In his early teens he was driving his own team and often several hitches. Early on he learned his love of horses. This love would continue throughout his Suntjens life. We can all remember at parades his prancing horse Cactus and his spirited black team, Gem and Jewel.

As a youth, Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother considered him a miracle baby. As an infant he survived polio but he quickly became a hale and hearty fellow. Through his life he endured several health set backs.

Rheumatic fever during World War II, undulant fever in the mid 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and triple bypass heart operation when he was 55. No illness set Lawrence back for long.

At 18, Lawrence volunteered and did active service in the Canadian Army and assisted the Allies in the occupation of Europe until July of 1946. Upon arriving back

to Canada he settled in the Coronation area. He managed a brome cleaning plant in Coronation for many years and in the 1950s he purchased a farm five miles south of Coronation which would become home base.

His family was truly blended. He had an adopted son Brad from his first marriage and in 1960 he married Janet Comeau Foster. Together they raised her three daughters from a previous marriage and quickly added three more.

As you would expect it was a handful raising six daughters! Lawrence was a strong family man. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren and he assisted and encouraged them to do their best.

In 1972 Lawrence and Janet sold the bulk of their farmland, retained several sections of pasture and grassland and moved to town. In 1980 the Suntjens family moved to Kelowna where they started an entrepreneurial partnership with Ken Anderson.

Together they would design, build and operate the first waterslides in Canada. Lawrence and Janet returned to Coronation in 1982 where they continued farming and raising family.

In retirement Lawrence and

Janet went twice to Europe and visited extended family in the Netherlands. They vacationed in Hawaii and travelled throughout western Canada with their show teams.

Lawrence will always be remembered for his joy of living. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember his handlebar mustache, his huge grin, his twinkling browed eyes and contagious laugh.

Into his 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lawrence continued to be energetic and active. Only as he reached his mid 80s that age and failing health took their toll.

Lawrence lived a full and active life. he died peacefully in his sleep on March 15, 2013 at the Coronation Hospital at 88 years of age. He lived the good life. Rest Well!

Lawrence is survived by spouse Janet; children Bradley (Bernice), Diana (Doug), Charlene, Brenda (Mervin), Cindy, Holly (Todd) and Angie. Also by grandchildren Priscilla, Lyndon, Victor, Cory, Kary, Cody, Kay-Dee, Devonay, Mallory, Jeremy, Jordan, Jesse, Kayla, Dylan and Braydon as well as numerous great-grandchildren.

His sister Mary (Elwood), sister-inlaw Donna, numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

Lawrence was predeceased by his parents Henry Sr. and Marie, siblings Siebert, Effie, Francis and Hein and granddaughter Danece Theriault.

Loved retelling escapades and fish stories OLESEN -Gordon Robert Olesen October 29, 1948 ~ March 21, 2013 Gordon was born October 29, 1948 to Peter and Marjorie Olesen in Wainwright. He was the third child in his family with his older siblings, Jean and Alvin and younger sister, Karen.

Gordon attended school in Chauvin until he started his career in the oilfield.

Gordon and Sanna were married and began their life together in Coronation.

They had two children, Leanne and Kevin.

Olesen Gordon worked in the oilfield for most of his working life but was quick to help run a combine or drive truck for a friend when it was harvest time. Gordon enjoyed small town life, whether it be helping out a neighbour or having a long visit with a good friend.

Gordon had many hobbies and interests. He enjoyed flying his airplane whenever possible and, more recently, loved riding his Harley.

One of his favourite trips was a cross-country trek to visit Kevin and Ana in Ottawa. He also loved to just ride around Alberta, with no set destination in place with his good friend Glen Schopfer. He often

ended up in Stavely to see his grandkids and play with the dogs.

Gordon loved the open road and the beautiful scenery that his bike rides brought him.

Gordon was happiest when he was surrounded by his family and friends. He loved it when all of us were out icefishing and all of the escapades and fish-stories that occurred out at the pond. Gordon was proud of his grandchildren Ella and Hannah. He loved watching them grow up, hearing their stories and especially their hugs and kisses. He was a loving husband and father and we will forever miss him.

Gordon is survived by his wife Sanna, his daughter Leanne (James), grandchildren Ella and Hannah and son Kevin (Ana). His siblings Alvin (Maureen) Olesen and Karen (Don) Pegg. In-laws Brian (Jean) Merchant, Arnold Merchant; Ken (Linda) Merchant, Archie (Wanda) Merchant and Wanda (Tim) Bullick. Gordon is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews as well as many dear friends. Gordon was predeceased by his parents, sister Jean, brother-in-law, Marshall, nephews Terrence, Bill and Leonard and

Sannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, Eileen and Les Merchant.

Leaves a legacy of humour, love of life Contâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d from Pg 19 Dementia had taken over her mind making it hard for her to communicate, but she would come alive if you took the time to dig through the fog.
