We’re not going to balance the books on paper clips,” was a comment made by one of trustees at their regular board meeting on April 16. A final draft of the Spring Projection Budget will be approved at the April 23 meeting. The budget will be posted on Clearview’s web- site from April 30, 2013 to May 10, 2013 for public feedback. Administrative cuts The first draft presented at the April 16 meeting clawed back $92,000 from central- ized services, board expenses and district office budgets. The cuts were achieved by delaying purchases of equipment, cutting professional development, deleting some Information Technology (IT) initiatives and forgoing one position at central office. Transportation The district has not been charging schools full price for fuel used on extra- curricular bus trips. Under the proposed budget, this fee will increase from $0.75 per kilometre to $1.10. A $200 annual busing fee will be applied to Catholic riders on Clearview buses, who are outside the 4 x 4 designated area and classified as “school of choice”. This fee is government-sanctioned and will affect approximately 50 students. A more sophisticated budgeting tool for calculating driver costs and transporta- tion costs, than previously used, freed up budget dollars to enables Clearview to keep all current school bus routes in place. Middle school modernization Trustees will be asked to approve a final capital submission for Stettler Middle School’s modernization at their first meeting in May.

Clearview School Board budget to be posted on website for public feedbackBrenda SchimkeECA Reporter
“We’re a service-based industry with 90 per cent of our budget designated to sta�ng. We’re not going to balance the books on paper clips,” was a comment made by one of trustees at their regular board meeting on April 16. A �nal draft of the Spring Projection Budget will be approved at the April 23 meeting. The budget will be posted on Clearview’s web-site from April 30, 2013 to May 10, 2013 for public feedback.
Administrative cutsThe �rst draft presented at the April 16
meeting clawed back $92,000 from central-ized services, board expenses and district o�ce budgets. The cuts were achieved by delaying purchases of equipment, cutting professional development, deleting some Information Technology (IT) initiatives and forgoing one position at central o�ce.

A $200 annual busing fee will be applied
to Catholic riders on Clearview buses, who are outside the 4 x 4 designated area and classi�ed as “school of choice”. This fee is government-sanctioned and will a�ect approximately 50 students.

Middle school modernizationTrustees will be asked to approve a �nal
capital submission for Stettler Middle School’s modernization at their �rst meeting in May.

School surpluses or deficits are cyclical. A small school that loses one student, or gains one student requiring a full-time teacher’s assistant, can quickly use up their reserves and fall into a deficit position. Sometimes schools get caught because of formula changes.
There is also a funding shortfall at the Stettler Elementary School. A previous board decision had moved grant dollars to support a full-time Kindergarten program. Those funds have now been cut yet the
Board would like to keep the full-day pro-gram in place.
The budget debate circled around the issue of whether Clearview is “operating as a school division, or a division of schools.”
Cont’d from Pg 1 Essentially, do the trustees direct dollars to the schools most in need or on the basis of
government-designed, and ever-changing formulas?

Coronation baseball academy proposalJenna Cole
ECA Review Reporter
There is potentially big news in store for Coronation. Brant Stickel came before town council Monday, April 22 and presented his idea for a baseball academy in Coronation, similar to the Badlands Baseball Academy run out of Oyen.
The business proposal, which is still a rough draft, suggests the academy would have seventeen players who each pay $13,500 a year, which after covering the basic costs of equipment, housing, uniforms and other needs makes roughly $7,500 profit per player.
The academy would run from September to June, the players would go indoors during the winter months, practicing in the gym where there is talk of a por-table turf being put on the gym floor.
“It’s a good opportunity for kids to come in and have a place to call home. They will enjoy it here; it’s a good little town. Everyone benefits from it, there is no negativity about it if the kids are good,” Stickel said.
The council met the proposal with general enthu-siasm, agreeing that it would be a positive force in the community and perhaps lead to other things like a multi-sport com-plex. They gave unanimous sup-port for the idea.
According to Stickel, the academy would bring in a lot of
business during weekend home games, as it would draw large crowds to the community and facilities like motels, restaurants and gas stations would be utilized.
Stickel is confident this is a real-istic endeavour for Coronation, saying the community is one of the best for support and involvement.
One of the biggest challenges foreseen is getting the baseball dia-mond in good playing shape and making it a more friendly and inviting place for family and friends to come and watch. There are plans to flip the diamond so it is facing the other way, which would require a lot of time and maintenance.
Stickel said another challenge is the prospect of billeting the players.
“Kids need a place to stay and taking a random kid into your household is definitely a challenge
for sure. That is one of our biggest obstacles,” Stickel said.
Finding potential billets is one of the next steps for the plan to go for-ward, billets would be paid $500 a month which comes out of the play-er’s initial fees.
The goal right now is to have the academy up and running by the fall of 2014, which Stickel hopes is enough time to get the business plan finalized and all the financial support needed. If not, Stickel said there is no rush.
“I want to make sure it is perfect before we go ahead and dive into something like this. There are a lot of people and a lot of money involved in it so I want to make sure it is in good shape before we get it going,” he stated.
Cam Brown, principal of Coronation School was by Stickel’s side at the meeting showing his
support on behalf of the school. He told the council the school would benefit by gaining 16 - 17
new students, which would help financially and it would also help the town.

William E Hay takes third in archery provincials
The National Archery in the Schools (NASP) Provincial Tournament was held from March 14 - 17 at the Edmonton Boat and Sportsmen Show. Hundreds of com-petitors from across the province attended, competing both as teams and individuals.
William E Hay Composite High School sent a team of 16 archers plus �ve indi-vidual shooters from grades 9-12 to compete at the high school level. This was the �rst year Stettler has had a NASP archery program. It was brought in late last spring by Luke Peters, a teacher at William E. Hay.
Each student shoots �ve arrows in a round, with a maximum of 50 points in a single round. There are three rounds at 10 meters, followed by three rounds at 15 meters for a total of 30 arrows, or 300 points. Then the archers with the best 12 totals from the team have their scores added together for a �nal score out of 3600.
The William E Hay Archery Team scored 2911 points, getting third place in the High School category. Individual shooters of note were Will Roberts and Shannon Hammond. Will Roberts, Grade 9, shot 284 out of 300, the third best score in the province for any shooter of any age. Shannon Hammond in Grade 11 tied for third in the High School Female cat-egory with 264 points. Ryan Ponich placed sixth in the High School Male category with 268. It was a fan-tastic showing from a �rst-year team, one they hope to improve on next year.
Sixteen archers from William E. Hay High School participated in provincials on March 14 - 17 in Edmonton taking third place. Participants included (in no particular order) Head coach Luke Peters, Devon Schowalter, Terry Burkes, Dillan Benjamin and Assistant Coach John Campbell. Alex Keith, Erin Yaremcio, Matayah Lloyst, Cassidy Munholland, Hunter Berger, Schubert Hernando, Chris Orlick and Shannon Hammond. Zack Desrosiers, Mackenzie Sorenson, Logan Hadwell, Ryan Ponich, Kurt George, Eric Pitzel, Will Roberts and Brittany Mackay. Missing: Lize-Mari Bouwer.

Dry grad fundraising by Jenna ColeFive grads from Coronation High
School will be on their way to Disneyland next month having finished their last major fundraiser event on Sunday. The students leave on the night of graduation and stay for three nights.
The grads had to raise $1,000 each to fund their trip, which they did through bottle drives, selling coffee and finally a lasagna dinner and dessert auction held at Brownfield Baptist Church.
Pastor Terry Belcourt from Coronation approaches students every year with the offer to do something dif-ferent than the traditional safe grad party. Only two classes out of the last eight had any interest, the last dry grad party was thrown in 2008.
Belcourt said the idea to take the stu-dents to Disneyland started a few years back when Const. Val Dennis men-tioned when he lived in Pincher Creek they took all the grade 12 students to Disneyland instead of throwing them a party.
“It put it in our eyes, hey this is a
bigger idea, let’s do something more then just having a party here. Lets up it. So we started talking about it,” Belcourt said.
“In grade nine Terry Belcourt approached us. He said that he wanted to go to Disneyland for our grad 12 trip,” said Gerene Cole, one of the students going, “We kind of thought that it was a little crazy, I mean that’s quite a big thing to do.”
“We started planning and we real-ized, ya maybe we can do this. We have been working fundraising and getting it altogether and now it’s going to happen,” stated Cole.
Cole said the dessert auction was a lot of fun and huge success. The highest dessert sold for $115 dollars to Brent Altwasser from Brooks, who was repre-sented by Wes Kopas.
Other graduates going on the trip are Kaden Kopas, Caylen Belcourt, Lihan Tolmie and Brandon Symons.
Gerene Cole (L) and Brandon Symons (R) took bids for the cherry pie, held by Lihan Tolmie, at the Dessert Auction fundraiser held at the Brownfield Baptist Church on Sunday, April 21. All monies raised will go towards a trip to Disneyland for five Coronation graduates who opted for a dry grad celebration.

Polls are seldom reliable in predicting elections but they can serve as a snapshot of a nation’s mood.
In a nation-wide poll conducted by Ipsos-Reid between March 28 and April 3, 2013, Justin Trudeau scored 10 per-centage points ahead of Stephen Harper and NDP leader, Tom Mulcair for qualities of trustworthiness, ethics, values, political vision and the world stage.
Now the poll results could be interpreted that the Liberals under Justin Trudeau will gain ground in the next election. Or more likely, it could be interpreted as a chastisement of the current Prime Minister for not delivering on his prom-ises of accountability, openness, honesty and transparency.
When first elected, Harper delivered quickly on his accountability and transparency promises. He established an independent Parliamentary Budget Officer and appointed highly respected Kevin Page as its head.
Page’s work was stellar. He exposed the real long-term costs of the F-35 purchases, the true costs of the Afghanistan war now and later, and the long-term financial conse-quences of many of the “tough on crime” legislative proposals.
It was exactly what Canadians voted for. It gave politicians three sources of input before making cata-
strophic financial decisions—the bureaucrats/military (the users), the manufacturers (the suppliers) and an indepen-dent body representing taxpayers (the financers).
Yet Kevin Page was seen as a traitor of government, rather than a protector of the public purse. His contract was not renewed and the role of the Parliamentary Budget Officer is now under review.
Trudeau, in his leadership campaign, said “if maintaining power is your only goal, then government oversight by inde-pendent bodies becomes very pesky”.
Canadians may like Harper’s economic plan. Yet many Canadians also want a Prime Minister who has the ability to balance the need for party discipline with MP grassroots representation.
Trudeau uses phrases such as “controlling, and de-valuing voices” and “the need for divergent voices to provide checks and balances and representation”.
It resonates with the public and particularly stands out with Harper’s recent move to deny his own backbenchers the right to ask questions reflecting constituency concerns.
Ironically, the Brian Mulroney Conservatives were dumped in favour of the grass-roots Reform-Alliance Party because that’s exactly what was ticking off Westerners—Prime Ministerial control. Yet now we have a Western Prime Minister who has taken top-down, hyper-controlling management to a new level of paranoia.
The poll results likely don’t speak so much to Justin Trudeau’s appeal, but rather to Canadians desire for better leadership. Canadians are so done with MP’s and MLA’s who say one thing and do another. They’re so tired of Senators, senior bureaucrats, government appointees to quasi-inde-pendent bodies, and elected officials cheating on their travel and expense forms.
If Justin Trudeau were elected there’s no guarantee he would be different. In fact, if the past is a predictor of the future, he won’t.
But that hasn’t stopped Canadians from continuing to search for that Prime Minister who will prove our skepti-cism wrong.
Seen as a traitor
of government,
rather than a
protector of the

PRAIRIE VIEW
Hook, line and sinker!
Bryan Passifiume’s April Fool’s story [March 28 issue, pg. 2 titled ‘Village to elect council by lots’] on Comet, Alberta completely hooked me. I serve on the council of a small village in Alberta, and I read the tale thinking, “What a novel governance model.” I got most of the way through before the nickle dropped.

Mulcair on Keystone XLYou listen to NDP leader Thomas
Mulcair talk about the Keystone XL pipeline and it makes you wonder if he is living in the real world. I don’t think he has a clue what makes the economy of this country work. Of course, the majority of socialists do not understand the principal of wealth creation. They think all you have to do is tax big corporations to fund government social programs and increase wages and benefits for their union supporters. It doesn’t occur to them that corporations have to make a profit or they would have no money to be taxed.
Last week Mr. Mulcair went to Washington and basically bad mouthed the Keystone XL pipeline to US legislators. Shipping our oil to the US was going to be bad for the cli-mate. He did say however that if it was refined and consumed in Canada it would not be an environmental problem. It is okay to burn fossil fuels at home but if we export them we will contribute to global warming.
Go figure! He thinks that the oil should be upgraded in Canada to create more jobs in Canada, 40,000 jobs by his estimate. While that may
be true, he doesn’t tell us who will put up the 15 or 20 billion dollars to build the refinery or where the market is for the refined product or how the refined product will get to it’s final market. Heaven forbid that it would still require a pipeline!
He tried to use the global warming argu-ment to justify his trip. He said that Canada is the only country to withdraw from Kyoto. He stated that Canada can not meet the Copenhagan Green House Emission tar-gets due to the oil sands. To the best of my knowledge Canada did not agree to anything in Copenhagan.
He also stated that “global warming is a real issue and that we’ve got to start taking this seriously”.
The last time I checked average global temperatures had not increased in the past 15 years. I recently learned that a Swedish researcher figured out that as CO2 levels in the atmosphere have increased, world average temperatures have decreased. So much for CO2 causing global warming. This global warming, climate change, call it what you want phenomenon has become a cult with environmentalists. They call us deniers of global warming. In fact it is they who are denying the real science. However I digress.
The National Post reported that in a speech to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, Thomas Mulcair said that “the NDP will be a partner with the
development of energy resources. We will be there with you.” The paper went on to say “and he means it. So long as the oil industry doesn’t want to actually extract any petro-leum and then export it to foreign markets in exchange
for billions of dol-lars. That is totally unacceptable.” Evidently he is all in favour of the oil industry as long as it doesn’t actually extract product from the oil sands. How much sense does that make?
It is okay to criti-cize the government
on any issue or policy here at home. It is quite another matter to go to a foreign country to criticize Government of Canada policy. Government policy in Canada is developed through a demo-cratic process that Mr. Mulcair is a part of. The fact that he doesn’t agree with Canadian energy policy is beside the point. As an MP and the leader of the opposition he pledged allegiance to Canada. He should, therefore when abroad, promote the policies that were agreed to by the Canadian Government. In my mind the fact that he went to a foreign country to undermine Canadian energy policy was a treasonous act. I think the leader of the official Canadian opposition is a disgrace to the country. God help us if he ever becomes the Prime Minister of Canada.

farmers gradually switched from conven-tional tillage to adopt direct seeding, the seeding of crops directly into undisturbed or cultivated soil.
Direct seeding of crops has improved soil quality, increased soil organic matter and improved nutrient supplying power of the soil. Generally, over a period of years of direct seeding, not only has soil organic matter increased, but there are other improvements in soil quality such as better soil tilth.
“No-till leaves more crop residue on the soil surface to protect surface soil from the damaging forces of wind and rain,” says Dr. Ross McKenzie, senior research scientist - agronomy with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development.
“Elimination of tillage means less oxygen is added to the soil, which stimu-lates microorganisms that break down and decompose residue.
“Crop residue on the soil surface reduces contact with the soil organisms that decompose residues. As a result, sur-face residue and remaining root material stay in the organic form longer. This con-tributes to increased soil organic matter.”
Prairie farmers are using more diverse crop rotations with cereals, oilseed and pulse crops in their rotation.
This generally results in higher crop yields by interrupting the life cycle and impact of some weeds, insects and diseases.
More diverse crop rotations and increased crop yield means more sur-face residue and root material is returned to the soil to improve soil organic matter.
In a long-term crop rotational study initiated in 1992 at Bow Island, in Alberta’s Brown Soil Zone, McKenzie has been comparing traditional wheat fallow rotations with extended rota-tions that include more diversi�ed crop systems.
Soil quality, including soil organic carbon, was measured 6, 12 and 18 years after the trials were initiated.
“There was a signi�cant increase in soil organic carbon, a re�ection of organic matter, in the �rst six years,” says McKenzie.
“The increased organic matter has con-tinued after 12 years and 18 years; however, the increase has �attened out as the soil organic matter levels have approached an equilibrium or steady state.”
Organic matter acts like a glue to bind soil mineral particles together.
Using low disturbance direct seeding systems not only improves soil organic matter, but other bene�ts include improved soil structure, which in turn improves water in�ltration into soil.
When the only soil disturbance occurs at seeding, there is less distur-bance of root and earthworm channels. This also increases the water in�ltra-tion rate of rain water into soil and reduced water runo�.
The more water that can penetrate and be stored in soil, the greater the crop yield potential. Direct seeding con-tributes to increased crop water use e�ciency.
This is particularly important in the drier soil regions in southern and south central Alberta. Increased crop water use e�ciency results in more stable crop yields and farm income.

Breeders’ SectionFCC reports rise in Alberta farmland values
sweN-irgA The average value of farmland in
Alberta increased by 7.2 per cent during the second half of 2012, according to a new Farm Credit Canada (FCC) Farmland Values Report. A strong agricultural economy, low interest rates, growing world food demand and higher commodity prices have attributed to the national increase in average farmland values.
The latest increase is part of a trend that shows farmland values rising in the prov-ince since 1993. Alberta farmland values increased by 5.7 per cent and 4.5 per cent during the two previous six-month reporting periods.
The FCC report provides important information about changes in farmland values across Canada. The average value of Canadian farmland increased by 10.0 per cent during the last six months of 2012. This increase followed gains of 8.6 per cent and 6.9 per cent in the previous two semi-annual reporting periods.
Average farmland values remained vir-tually the same in British Columbia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. Average farmland values increased in the other provinces. Quebec experienced the highest average increase at 19.4 per cent.
Recent agricultural outlook reports in Canada and the United States suggest that while crop prices are expected to come down from recent highs, prices are pro-jected to remain above historical averages over the next ten years.
These expectations of future crop
receipts are re�ected in the current farm-land values.
According to the 2011 Ag Census, the majority of the total land in agriculture (including areas that were used by others) in Canada was owned by those who operate it, at 61.5 per cent. This is followed by rented land at 21.9 per cent and land leased from government at 13.1 per cent.
The FCC Farmland Values Report has been published since 1985. FCC estab-lished a system with 245 benchmark farm properties to monitor variations in bare-land values across Canada.
FCC appraisers estimate market value using recent comparable sales. These sales must be arm’s-length transactions. Once sales are selected, they are reviewed, ana-lyzed and adjusted to the benchmark properties.

Breeders’ SectionNew training course supports safe livestock handling in Alberta
sweN-irgA An innovative new training course will
help to support the safe handling of live-stock when transport accidents and other emergency or loose livestock situations occur.
The training course, Livestock Handling in Emergencies and Equipment Trailer Training Course will be delivered by Lakeland College’s Emergency Training Centre and School of Agriculture instructors, Vermilion, beginning this spring. It will focus on training emergency responders, and others who may be involved in these inci-dents, in the use of a new �eet of livestock handling equipment trailers.
Support for the trailers and the course development was provided by Growing Forward II – a provincial/federal/territo-rial initiative – along with a range of livestock industry groups and stake-holders including Alberta Farm Animal Care (AFAC), which represents all the major livestock producer organizations in the province.
“The livestock trailers are a tremen-dous resource to support safe livestock transport and handling in Alberta,” says Heini Hehli, a Rimbey dairy producer and chair of AFAC. “The new training course will ensure we have well-trained emer-gency responders operating and using these trailers. It represents an important step forward in helping to provide leader-ship in animal welfare, while supporting the safety of both people and animals involved in these situations.”
A pilot phase for the course produced strong positive reviews and some good feedback that will help the course devel-opers �ne-tune the content and format. The �rst o�erings of the two-day course are planned to start in late April. There has already been a strong response in reg-istrations and interest.
“The pilot phase and the early response and feedback have been just excellent,” says Denis Cunninghame, manager of Training Services at Lakeland College. “We’re very excited to introduce this course. For emergency responders and others who can bene�t from this equip-ment and knowledge, the trailers and the training combined will provide a brand new resource to dramatically improve their capability in dealing with inci-dences involving livestock.”
The progress related to both the trailers and the training course has stemmed from discussions initiated by the Alberta Farmed Animal Health and Welfare Strategy Steering Committee. The committee was inspired by the vision and forethought of groups in Red Deer County and Ponoka that developed sim-ilar livestock handling trailers for deployment in their areas. A sub-com-mittee including representatives from the Alberta Equestrian Federation, the Alberta Beef Producers, Livestock Identi�cation Services, RCMP, AFAC and
Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development created the initial project plan. Funding support was provided through the federal/provincial/territorial Growing Forward initiative.
The recent announcement and deploy-ment of new trailers included several counties/municipalities and one non-pro�t organization chosen as trailer sites, based on animal movement volumes and strategic coordination plans. These included MD of Willowcreek, Claresholm; Cypress County, Medicine Hat; Westlock County; Vermilion River County; and, the Alberta Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), which deploys an Alberta-wide roaming unit. This adds to an existing �eet of three trailers located in Red Deer County, Hanna and Ponoka, for a total of eight trailers in the province.
“In addition to a course location on site at Lakeland College, which will use college instruc-tors and animals, plans are underway to make the course avail-able through distance learning,” says Cunninghame. This will be done in a format that allows local emer-gency services departments to train sta� using their own instruc-tors. There will be an instructor cri-teria allowing for local delivery.
Initial course o�erings at the col-lege will run two
days, seven hours per day, typically on weekends to accommodate volunteer departments. The course is open to any emergency responder, such as �re, EMS or law enforcement, along with agricul-ture services personnel, SPCA, veterinarians and others. “Ultimately we want to accommo-date anyone who might bene�t from this training as part of their role to aid in the response to animals in dis-tress,” says Cunninghame.
Watch for
additional information on the Lakeland College Emergency Training Centre web-site. More information on AFAC is available on the AFAC website.

Breeders’ SectionWhere are the elders?In the past, the cow-calf business was a family business,
so the family did the work.by Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist, North
Dakota State University Extension ServiceDeal with the living and care for the
dying. If one is in the business of caring for living things, then one always should approach the day with the understanding that the goal is life, not death. Death is inevitable for all, but not our daily goal. As we care for the numerous living things around us, our goal is life.
In the world of beef production, all man-agement directives are designed to maintain and improve the herd. Each cow, bull and calf is essential. Calving time serves to illustrate the strong desire and need to focus on each cow and calf.
Calf death is unacceptable. We know that calf death will occur. However, that does not mean we accept the death of a calf. Instead, we see it as a challenge to our management abilities.
The recent cold spells and spring snows are a challenge for those who chose to have their cows calve early or, for all prac-tical purposes, at the traditional calving time.
The family is rewarded well for bringing into the home or even the bathtub a chilled calf that needs warmth. Larger calving operations also are rewarded well for placing a calf in a warmer in the shop.
The essence of cattle production radi-ates from calving. Calving is that time when care is critical and understanding important. Perhaps that is when one really comes to appreciate the “look.”
Although it may not seem like much, some people have the uncanny ability to look at another living thing and perceive all that is good and all that is bad.
Calving certainly is a time for the “look.” Is that cow really having prob-lems? Has that newborn suckled? Is that calf running a fever? Does that calf look a bit emaciated?
The same is true any time cattle are handled, such as the new calves in the feedlot or the new replacement heifers that just arrived. All cattle bene�t greatly when they have someone watching over them who has the ability to provide the look.
The look is not learned from a book and is not something you can just tell someone. The look is engrained in the depths of someone’s ability to understand and process detail.
The little things in life, such as the twitch of an ear, blink of an eye or failure to blink, will mean something to those
who understand how to care for living things.
Therefore, one of the lessons of life is to deal with the living and care for the dying. The chilled calf that is not taken care of does not have a future. Taking the time to gather the calf, provide some stimulation and encouragement and to reunite the calf with an impatient mother is critical, if not essential, to the cow-calf operation.
Surrounding the herd during calving with those who take the time to do the look is critical to the survival of the cow-calf business. There is not an option to come back later or let the next shift worry about problems. The last looks before leaving or one more check of the gate latch are more opportunities to visually see that the calf is nursing.
Such activities are what produce cattle hands who know what is important and that keeping calves in the living inventory is the goal. Unfortunately, there is a greater challenge in the world of beef. It is a challenge that really changes how the beef industry functions, is perceived and the industry eventually will evolve.
Who is going to do the work? That is the challenge. In the past, the cow-calf busi-ness was a family business, so the family did the work. There was a learning curve, but the younger members of the family watched mom, dad, grandma and grandpa slowly, but methodically, do the day’s chores without missing a beat.
A problem cow or calf would be checked and rechecked. Sometimes the checks happened so fast that one did not know they were taking place, but the older family members still had the ability or look to know what and when things needed to be done.
Have you ever experienced a day when everyone started to show up all of a sudden because they just knew they were needed? The help always was appreciated and the right timing was there. It was almost eerie because they knew when the time was right.
Today, that still may be true for many operations. However, in reality, many operations are managed outside the family, so the elders are not there. The di�erence is subtle but real.
May you �nd all your ear tags.

Breeders’ SectionPaintearth 4-H Multi Club spring update
Sydney Dunkle, Club Reporter
The Paintearth 4-H Multi Club has been busy this winter and spring (what spring?) with meet-ings and many activities. In January there was a regional fun day in Stettler that included swimming, Zumba and making duct tape wallets. The district fun day was held in Consort and included bowling.
Many members from the club went to the 4-H Rebels nite in Red Deer on February 15. It was an exciting game that went into overtime, with the Rebels defeating Victoria, 3 - 2. There was a ski night at Alliance, also in February.
The small engine club went to tour the Finning
plant in Red Deer. They reassemble heavy oil equipment from the oil sands. The photography club went to Calgary’s
Glenbow museum to see a Fred Hertzog exhibit. The horse club had a riding clinic with Dustin Grams in Killam.
The club held public speaking and presentations in February and all the members did really well. Here are the results:
Two of the Japanese exchange students did a special presentation for the members. Honoka
Okada showed how to wear a yukata (kimono). Kurumi Kobori demon-strated how to make an origami star. Both are 4-H members this year.
Wendy Dunkle was recently recognized for 15 years of service as a 4-H leader and Tarolyn Peach was recognized for ve years of service.
If you have any tires you want picked up this spring for recycling please call Tara @(403)882-3097. The highway cleanup will be held on May 4.
Dunkle
Club level public speaking winners from Paintearth 4-H’s include (L-R) Back row: Carly Dunkle, Mackenzie VanHienen, Tayven Peach, Tiara vanZandbergen and Sarah Baker. Middle row: Cade vanZandbergen, Kurt Heidecker, Lyn Peach and Taytum Wahl. Front row: Brianne Beverton and Sydney Dunkle.

Seventy-six items entered into the Alliance handicraft competitionDiane Dammann
ECA Review Submitted
There were a few vendors at the market with baking. Rob Applegate was there for the
rst time with farm fresh eggs. Jolene Weber has some lovely pork jerky.
Ruth Peacock came to the market and had a chance to visit many old friends.
Ed and Pam Muise went to Camrose to meet up with Ed’s brother for a visit while he is on his trip from the Maritimes.
I met David Joseph at the market this week. He has bought the pink house on Railway Ave. He comes from Edmonton. It was the price of housing that attracted him to Alliance.
The Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) work to improve the lives of women and their communities all around the world. April 29 is ACWW Day.
Local Alliance women, members of Women’s Institute and others will be walking for ACWW to raise awareness and funds for the ongoing projects. We will be walking Monday morning, April 29, starting from the Valley Inn at 10 a.m.
On Saturday the Ohaton Constituency of WI held the annual meeting in Alliance with the Argyle Branch hosting. Ladies came from Camrose, Roundhill, Lougheed, Bashaw, Sedgewick and our speaker was from Castor. Kay Hauck spoke about her work with the Outreach School Program that she
.noitanoroC ni snurIt sounds like a
really good pro-gram for those for whom the regular school system doesn’t work. She was also very entertaining.
There were 76 items entered into the handicraft
competition. Laura Towers was the judge and she said that she was amazed at the high quality of workmanship.
She awarded a lot of red rib-bons for rst. Donna Chalifoux supplied the lovely lunch at noon with the help of her daughter, Connie.
On Wednesday, the United Church Presbytery meeting will be held in Alliance. This is a two day meeting in the Spring. Tuesday the meeting will be in Forestburg.
Since Alliance and Forestburg is a two point charge, they thought it would be nice to share the meeting. A few years ago it was done for the rst time and it was the
rst time that many folks had been to Alliance.
We had a little work bee at the church one evening last week to x a light, clean the lights and hang the beautiful “Lord’s Prayer” piece of cro-chet that Marie Rands had done. Guy Godine and Pam LaFontaine came from next door and helped out. Guy didn’t mind getting on top of the tall ladder.
There will be a cleaning bee
at the Community Hall on Thursday. The kitchen needs some cleaning of drawers and cup-boards and it is hoped that several
people will turn out to help. If one or two from each group that uses the hall came it won’t take very long to be all spic and span.
The Alliance Castor Choir sang on Sunday afternoon. The pro-gram was called, “This is My Song”.

IN MEMORIAMIN LOVING memory of Keith McGuire who passed away April 27, 2005. Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear, Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach, Sweet to remember him who once was here, And who, though absent, is just as dear. Each and everyday Keith you are always in our hearts. Love Marge, Trish, Joe & Sara, Sheri, Jesse & Family

We cannot bring the old days back, When we were all together, But loving memories from the past will live with us forever. Love Your Family
