CLEARVIEW SCHOOLS
Strankman visits school board
Bryan Passifiume ECA Review Reporter
With the school board’s rejection of the collective agreement framework approved by both the Alberta Ministry of Education and the Alberta Teachers Association, Drumheller-Stettler MLA Rick Strankman sat down with the Clearview School Board during their Tuesday, April 2 meeting.
Board chair Ken Checkel started out by explaining the board’s current situation. The Clearview School District consists of 7459 square kilometres with an enroll-ment density of less than one student per square kilometre. He told Strankman that with the exception of two years, enroll-ment has been on the decline during his 15 years as a school board trustee.
“We do well, but we do have our strug-gles,” Checkel said.
The board’s primary issue, Checkel told Strankman, was an outdated and ineffi-cient funding formula that leaves rural school boards underfunded.
“The province’s funding formula is based on a per-student basis,” he said. “This means we’ve been getting less money over the years, and we deal with it with program cuts and less teachers.”
“It really puts pressure on all of our schools, especially our smaller ones,” he added.
In order to keep programs going, and in an effort to reduce their cash on hand, the school board has been offsetting deficit budgets over the past few years by using reserves. This not only keeps teachers in the classroom, he said, but also prevents
the Ministry from clawing back reserves, as they did in 2005.
“It’s getting to the point where we end up paying close attention when the Minister talks about small schools,” he said.”
“We’re keeping some really small schools open,” Checkel continued. “How long we can keep doing that remains to be seen.”
Indeed, the district’s smallest schools are among the smallest in the province. Byemoor School, for example, has a cur-rent enrollment of 25.
“Per capita funding just doesn’t work,” said trustee Peter Simons. “Expectations are one thing, but having funding based on a per capita basis doesn’t work unless you have the population to support it.”
“Per capita works if you want to drive rural schools out of existence,” Checkel agreed.
As reported in last week’s edition of the Review, the Clearview School Board voted down a motion to ratify the labour agree-ment recommended by both the government and the teacher’s union.
“We saw some good things in the agree-ment,” Checkel told Strankman.
The proposed labour contract, announced on Friday, March 15, is a four-year agreement that includes a three year salary freeze ending with a two per cent wage increase in 2015.
The agreement also proposes bringing salaries in Clearview School District in line with the provincial average. Teachers in Clearview generally get paid less than their colleagues elsewhere in Alberta.

When we use a ruler to measure the
length of a line, that is measuring in
one dimension. Measuring the area
of a flat surface is measuring in two
dimensions. Measuring in 3-D is
called measuring something’s
volume.
In professional and amateur golf, the head of the club can be no more than 2.8 in (7.1 cm) high and 5 in (12.7 cm) wide. The volume can be no larger than 28.07 cubic inches (460 cubic centimeters).
Measuring the height and width of a club is straightforward. But how do you measure the volume? To find out read the Scientist’s Notebook.
The Ancient Greek mathematician, Archimedes, discovered that the volume of an object can be determined by measuring the change in water level (displacement) when an object is placed in it.
STEM workers typically use metric measurement because it is interna-tionally accepted and understood.
Interestingly, the USGA uses the British Imperial System of measurement – which includes inches, feet and yards – in their measurements, because of golf’s history and tradition. After all, the game did get its start in the British Isles.

If a golf club had a targeting laser that lined up a golfer’s shot, a player could get a better score even with poor aiming skills. As technology improves golf equipment, it is important to have rules which keep the game a challenge of skill.
A hollow club head distributes the weight of the club along its outside edges (perimeter). When the club hits the golf ball, the club is less likely to turn. If a club turns when it hits a golf ball, it can change the direction the ball will fly, and the ball will not go as far.

Positive tone to school board meetingsBryan Passifiume
ECA Review Reporter
With the school board community con-sultations at the halfway mark, participants from both schools and the board are pleased with the outcome.
Byemoor’s meeting was held on Tuesday, March 12, Castor’s was on Wednesday, April 3, Coronation’s meeting was held on Thursday, April 4 and Botha’s on Monday, April 8.
The meeting at Gus Wetter School in Castor went well according to principal Daram Van Oers. Gus Wetter is among the largest of the rural schools in the school district, and therefore don’t face the chal-lenges that the smaller schools do in the current economic climate. The school, however, is struggling to maintain cur-rent staffing and program levels with the money they do get from the school board.
“We’re definitely strained,” said Van Oers. “We have been for the last few years.”
Those who did speak at the meeting were concerned about what was going on in the other districts. Most of the school trustees attended the meeting and did their best to answer the questions from the audience.
About 30 people attended the meeting in Castor.
Coronation’s meeting saw about 30 attendees, with several people making the trek from Brownfield to attend.
Coronation School, one of the better financially placed schools in the district, filed a $120,000 deficit in this year’s budget. This, according to principal Cam Brown, was a move to fund several capital projects, spend down the school’s reserve and to keep staffing levels consistent.
Brown said that he was pleased with the meeting, stating that the board seemed impressed with the questions and sugges-tions that the attendees posed to them. Indeed, the future of rural school pro-grams was on everybody’s minds, with several attendees asking the trustees what the acceptable level of programming was to maintain the viability and relevance of rural education.
As for the future of Coronation School, Brown told the Review that staffing cuts could very well be a reality within two to three years.
“Every member of our staff is part of the team,” he said. “You become like a family -- this is not a happy time for sure.”
The school board has promised that there would be no significant changes to schools for the next school year, but board chair Ken Checkel has stated that the point of the community meetings is to lay out the financial situation of the school district and explain the realities of the current situation to parents.
Brownfield, one of the schools threat-ened with closure in 2012, will hold their meeting on Monday, April 15.
Stettler RCMP sets goalsBryan Passifiume
ECA Review Reporter
Stettler shares many of the same issues similar towns in Alberta face when it comes to law enforcement, so says repre-sentatives of the Stettler RCMP detachment.
Sergeant Duncan Babchuk and Cpl. Cam Russell were received as delegations at the Tuesday, April 2 meeting of Stettler Town Council to highlight their objectives for 2013 and touch base with council over their policing concerns.
The two outlined their four objectives for the coming year. These include pro-moting rad safety through increased traffic enforcement, reducing the abuse of alcohol, reducing property crimes and reduce the abuse of drugs through both education and investigating the sale of illegal drugs in the community.
Call volumes for the detachment are on par with what they were last year, according to Babchuk.
Stettler CAO Robert Stoutenberg asked if traffic enforcement included loud exhaust pipes. Sergeant Babchuk told him that it did and that both loud pipes and tinted windows are taken seriously by his members.
“We’ve got people pit there that are tinting windows so dark you can’t see in,” said Cpl. Russell, stating that in his expe-rience, motorists who sport dark window tints usually have something to hide.
He continued, stating that dark window tints are not only a hazard for the motorist, but present issues with emergency workers.
He said that heavy window tints can prevent rescue workers from breaking windows in order to gain access to vehicles involved in acci-dents, requiring more drastic methods of extrac-tion including the jaws of life.
As such, Sgt. Babchuk stated that
the detachment will follow a ‘zero toler-ance’ policy on window tinting.
Mayor Dick Richards told the delegation that he is still distressed at the number of people he sees using their cell phones while driving. Sergeant Babchuk said that there has been talk in Edmonton of adding an additional penalty of three demerit points to people caught using their cell phones while driving.
He told council that distracted driving remains a problem in the area.
“I know people have busy schedules and their phones are always ringing,” he said. “The legislation is there and we’re here to enforce it.”
Improvement of the current community standards by-law, according to Babchuk, would benefit the community greatly. He stated that the crown prosecuters prefer police lay charges under municipal by-laws rather than the Criminal Code -- habitual offenders are less likely to re-offend if they face repeated hits in the pocketbook rather than stints in jail -- which is very costly to taxpayers.
Babchuk said that adding specific offenses such as fighting, loitering, graf-fiti, spitting and public urination would benefit the community. The by-law is cur-rently under review by Stetter County by-law officer Kevin Duval.
He said that adding these offenses would give police better tools to not only prevent crime but add incentives for trou-blemakers to curtail their behavour.

Greyhound cancels local courier serviceBryan Passifiume
ECA Review Reporter
Residents who live in east cen-tral Alberta will have one less shipping option after a popular freight company pulls up stakes.
Greyhound Courier Express announced that, as of Friday, April 12, they will no longer provide cou-rier and freight service along Highway 12 from Red Deer to the Saskatchewan border, less than two years after cancelling pas-senger service.
The cancellation closes Greyhound depots in Alix, Clive, Stettler, Castor, Coronation and Veteran.
Reaction to the route closure has many looking for other freight options in the affected communities.
“I have a lot of customers who are concerned about what they’re going to do for freight,” said Joyce Webster, operator of the Coronation depot. Webster said that local residents used Greyhound because their service was a lower-cost option compared to other services.
Webster, who is also the pub-lisher and proprietor of the East Central Alberta Review, became a Greyhound depot in late 2011, shortly before Greyhound dropped their passenger bus service on Highway 12.
Deregulation of Alberta’s bus services in 2011 saw the end of pas-senger service on many rural routes, including Coronation.
Since the 1960s, Greyhound operated in Alberta under a deal with the provincial government that protected the company from competition on profitable routes under the condition it provide ‘minimum’ service to remote and rural locations. Declining rider-ship and increased costs made
servicing these low-ridership routes uneconomical, prompting the U.S.-based company to with-draw from the deal.
Deregulation resulted in the cut of 12 passenger bus routes across central and northern Alberta in 2011, with cuts to southern Alberta routes taking place in 2012.
Until now, Greyhound’s courier service was unaffected.
Webster blames the failure of the courier service on her route to a lack of marketing by Greyhound to
advertise the service.While the loss of the freight ser-
vice in Coronation is discouraging, she is hopeful other companies might step forward to fill the gap.
“This might be a good thing,” she said. “The alternatives might bring back passenger service.”
When Greyhound dropped their Highway 9 route in 2011, Alsask Bus Service stepped in to offer daily bus service between Calgary and Saskatoon with links to both Greyhound and Saskatchewan
Transportation Company (STC). Webster also suggested that Red Arrow might be a pos-sible contender to resume service on Highway 12.
“There has to be profitability
for a big company to pick up the service,” she said, sug-gesting that affected municipalities express interest to either company to pick up where Greyhound left off.

The board does not agree with limiting the teacher’s annual instructional time to 907 hours per year and increased layer of bureaucracy that threatens the board’s ability to pass policy.
“it just seems like more decisions are being controlled by big government and but union,” Checkel said, saying that the Minister has decreed that school boards must either accept the proposal as pre-sented or have it taken off the table. “School boards are the ones who sign the contracts with the locals, but the minister has all the power.”
“We serve at the pleasure of the Minister,” said Patti Dittrick, school trustee for Stettler, telling Strankan that the minister has the power to disband the school board and force acceptance of the agreement if he so wished.
The issue of board autonomy weighed heavily in the meeting. Many of the trustees were were skeptical that the Wildrose Party, of which Strankman is a member, would push for greater autonomy among school boards - despite cam-paigning for greater autonomy in local government.
Dittrick cited an example made on Twitter by Aridie MLA and house leader Rob Anderson on Wednesday, March 27 . In responding to an article in the Calgary Herald regarding execu-tive bonuses approved by the Calgary school board, Anderson tweeted that he found the move “disgusting” and that the Wildrose Party would “stop this garbage” if allowed to govern.
She stated that while public support is definitely on the side of curtailing execu-tive bonuses in times of financial hardship, the tweet weighs heavily against the Wildrose’s promises of greater autonomy.
Strankman sat during the meeting, taking extensive notes and promising to take the board’s concerns not only to the government, but to the party leadership.

Lil’s love of music was always put into practice
Lilyan “Lil” Adelene Carl -May 26, 1926 – March 24, 2013
Lilyan Adelene was born May 26, 1926 in Coronation, Alberta, the youngest and last surviving child of John and Pauline Osetsky. She came from a large family of four brothers Nick, Ed, Ted and John and three sisters Louise, Juanita and Darlene.
The Osetsky family was well known in local and surrounding area for their family band and for their love of a good party. Ted, Ed, Darlene and Lil were the main members of the band made up of drums, guitar, violin and piano.
Lil grew up in the Coronation area and taught school until she was married in 1948 to Vernon Lester Carl, better known to everyone as “Bud.”
They lived on the Carl family farm at Silver Heights raising their five children Darryle-Lynn, Carson, Debbie, Dena and Cindy until 1967 when they moved into Coronation for Cindy to start Grade one.
Through the years, playing softball and watching the men play hardball was Lil’s passion in the summer months. She was a very competitive ath-lete and always played to win.
In the winter it was curling she loved and she was known for her victo-ries on the ice, but if she lost she always had a mil-lion excuses why…
After moving to Coronation, Lil was an active member of the Legion, later to become an honourary member. She also held the position of District Deputy in the Royal Purple during its active time in Coronation.
After playing ball their love of the outdoors and sports continued with taking up fishing and golf.
Lil was a wonderful seamstress and she loved to sew for her kids and people in the community.
For several years prior to the loss of Bud in 1999 they travelled extensively, going south to Arizona for the winters.
Lil’s love of music was always put into practice wherever she went.
While in Arizona she belonged to a band that enter-tained on a regular basis at the community hall. Happy hour was a great part of her day and she was always ready to break into song if the opportunity
presented itself.They loved their
motorhome and enjoyed camping with family and friends, taking in the good fishing for the summer months.
Lil continued to go south for the winter for a few more years but in the last few she chose to remain in the cold (complaining the whole time). This allowed her to spend more time with her family.
Lil travelled a lot to be with her chil-dren, helping them out whenever she could. She was always teaching someone, something, she was a wealth of knowledge and informa-
tion. There truly was nothing she couldn’t do and do it well.
She passed very sud-denly the afternoon of March 24, 2013 at the age of 86. She will be missed.

Burden of bureaucracyBrenda Schimke
ECA Review Journalist
The proposed contract agreed to by the Alberta Government and the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) is an example of how management and unions work together to protect their own empires by sacrificing the very people they are supposed to be protecting.
Yes, teachers do have an issue with workload, but it’s certainly not the amount of instructional time. Yet the teacher’s union negotiated a max-imum instructional time as the solution to workload complaints.
Having volunteered over a 100 days in the public school system this year, I don’t believe there is a teacher in Alberta that wants less instructional time. I would be more inclined to sug-gest they want relief from the burden of bureaucracy that is bogging down our edu-cational system.
I’ve also sat on the manage-ment side of the table as Director of Instruction at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook, B.C. My first negotiating ses-sion with the union was an eye opener. After weeks of negotiating, manage-ment accepted a deal that favoured those union members around the table and the deal was done.
The proposed contract between the government and ATA smells the same. The government wants to appear financially responsible so they needed a zero per cent increase in teacher’s salaries for three years. The union was happy to oblige as they get a couple more government/union com-mittees and some additional grievance opportunities.
The result . . . bureaucrats on both sides of the table won, but schools boards, teachers, parents and children lost.
If I were a teacher, I’d want more preparation time, fewer meetings and fewer “questionable professional development events”. I’d want suffi-cient time for those students who just need a little extra one-on-one help to grasp a concept and successfully move to the next grade.
I’d want all those Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Speech
Therapists and Psychiatrists, who are assigned to “integrated” kids actually be held accountable for results. Today as employees of Alberta Health Services, they flit in and out of class-rooms observing and writing copious reports then bill school districts $70 an hour. Left in their wake is moun-tains of recommendations that teachers are expected to accomplish in addition to their regular teaching responsibilities.
If I were a teacher, I would want rec-ognition and assistance for the huge behavioural problems rampant in most schools today. Serious behav-ioural problems are growing year over year, disrupting the learning for many other students. Yet neither the union nor the government seems to care.
The decision makers are too many levels away from the front-line educators to be of any earthly good.
I would challenge the government to require senior man-agement from the Ministry of Education and the elected MP serving as Education Minister to serve a minimum six-month secondment as teachers’ assistants in “difficult” class-rooms (25 per cent coded or behav-ioural problems), and in “marginally-performing” schools
(per Fraser Institute rankings). That would be money well spent.
After such an exercise, the decisions coming out from the Ministry and from under the Dome would be radi-cally transformed. The best way to learn about something is to “do it”.
Teachers aren’t off the hook either. They allow their union to agree to a contract without the teachers’ knowl-edge. Teachers heard about the agreed-to deal over the radio just like the rest of us. They’ve allowed their union to grow into an oversized mon-ster that does little for teachers, students or education. The union should be negotiating for more teachers’ assistants, behavioural spe-cialists and smaller classrooms, not less instructional time and more committees!
An educational system dominated by top-down decisions, schizophrenic financing, unfair performance mea-surements and empire-building bureaucracies serves both students and society poorly.
After such an
exercise, the decisions
coming out from the
Ministry and from
under the Dome would
be radically
transformed.

VIEWPOINT
Pipeline lobbying failureDear Editor,
When Alberta Premier Alison Redford meets with policy-makers in Washington DC next week to lobby for the Keystone XL pipeline, she must give no support whatso-ever to the climate scare.
The pipeline is designed to pump 830,000 barrels of crude oil every day from Alberta’s oil sands, the world’s third-largest proven reserves of oil, to refineries in Texas.
That is over 4 per cent of U.S. daily oil consumption and about 20 per cent of all U.S. imports from the Middle East and Venezuela combined.
Besides enhancing America’s energy security, thousands of jobs and billions of
dollars are at stake in both countries. If the project is approved, there will be
significant tax revenue to provincial, state and federal governments and major bene-fits for industry and ordinary citizens alike.
But oil sands processing produces more carbon dioxide (CO2), the gas of most con-cern in the climate debate, than does the refining of conventional crude oil. So activists have drawn a line in the sand with Keystone XL. Even though the oil sands contribute only just over 1/10th of 1% of humanity’s total CO2 emissions, anything that helps the oil sands grow must be stopped, they say.

I have never thought of myself as a com-petitive person but apparently I am becoming one. It all started innocently enough when my husband, Jim was diag-nosed with cancer and we bought a computer. We found a game website that awarded you with virtual tokens when you won a game.
Jim told his friends about the site and the race was on. Who would get to the million mark first? Who was in the lead today? When he needed to go and rest, he would tell me to get on there and make sure no one got ahead of us.
After he passed away I found some games on that site where you played against ‘robots’. I was surprised at how upset I would get when these robots would win the game. I would even swear at them. They didn’t always win and at first my shouts of vic-tory would make my dog jump up ready for action. Now, if he even chooses to acknowledge the shouts, it is with the doggie version of the eye roll.
Next there was Facebook. My grand-daughter got me on that; and it didn’t take me long to find the games. These were great. If my friends played the same game I could see their scores, we could even play
against each other.Yes! Bring it on!Some games are almost addictive. I am
hooked on a game where each level has different obstacles and the intensity of dif-ficulty is higher with each level. Some levels seem impossible to get through but then I see my friends ahead of me and know that it has to be possible. This game
lets your friends help by giving you extra ‘lives’ or moves and eventually you get through the level.
Then one of my friends showed me how I can get that game on my cell phone, she even linked it to Facebook for me. This is not good. Now I see lines of candies and exploding chocolate balls when I close my eyes at night.
The other night I was on a dif-ficult level when I noticed that my
friend had a super high score on that level. My first thought was “Wow. Good for her.” My second thought was “Wait a minute aren’t you competing against her?”
This made me realize that it was not about the high scores as much as it was about beating the game.
In a way it reminds me of life. Like the game, life has levels with different obsta-cles of various degrees of difficulty, and also like the game we can get through them if we keep trying, and with a little help from our friends.

Local taxidermists win Bryan Passifiume
ECA Review Reporter
When it comes to creating champion-ship-grade taxidermy, the Fischers like to keep it in the family.
Recently returned from a world-class taxidermy competition in Billings, Montana, the family from Cadogan brought back several honours for their work, including several top awards.
Curtis Fischer entered a while tail head and placed third in the master’s division game head category, as well as earning two people’s choice awards. Fischer’s seven year old son Quinn won ‘best in cat-egory’ in the junior skull/antler division for his deer antlers, and his wife Jen won second place in the novice bird category.
Fischer said that he was very proud of how he and his family fared, remarking that they faced stiff competition from across North America.
“Lots of people think that it’s just put-ting skin onto a form,” he said. “I try to make sure the animal has motion and tells a story.”
Fischer says that taxidermy is equal parts science and art. Producing an award winning piece, he says, is more than just getting the animal to look realistic.
“There has to be some composition to it,” he continued. “They just can’t look ‘alive’ to win competitions.”
Indeed, the judges in Montana examine all aspects of entrants and award points for both technique and composition.
Fischer strives to produce pieces that not only look realistic, but also tell a story.
He likes to add elements of realism to his work, including snow flakes, water drop-lets and flared nostrils.
Fischer got interested in taxidermy at a young age. As he grew older he received training from others in the field, including world champions. Over the years as his technical skills improved, he learned to appreciate the importance of the art.
“It’s all about seeing the transformation of the animal,” he said, remarking that a lot of what makes a successful piece is what you put into it.
In that, he says that knowledge of the motion and actions of the animal you’re working on is important. That requires considerable study of the animal’s muscu-lature and skeletal system.
“You have to understand the anatomy of the animal,” he said. “That’s the fun part. It’s a challenge to get the animals to look realistic.”
Taxidermy is more than a passion for Fischer, it’s become his life’s work. One of the more interesting aspects of his art is the opportunity to work on exotic animals. One of the most interesting pieces he’s done is a Marco Polo sheep, sent to him by a big game hunter who spent $30,000 hunting the animal in Kyrgyzstan. He’s also had the opportunity to work on unusual animals, including a two-headed sheep.
Out of all of the animals he’s worked on, his favourite is the familiar white tail deer and caribou.
“They are neat animals,” he says. “Every specimen looks different, even though they are all the same animal.”
The science is too immatureIf science supported the hypothesis that
CO2 emissions are causing climatic Armageddon, then anti-Keystone pro-testers would have a point.
But the science is too immature to know how much influence our CO2 emissions have on climate.
Computerized climate models clearly do not work—even the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) admits there has been no overall warming for the past 17 years, something the models failed to predict.
Applied mathematics professor Christopher Essex of the University of Western Ontario emphasizes that “the big policy questions are beyond the best models we can currently make. Climate is far from a simple solved scientific problem.”
The geologic record does not support dangerous CO2-driven planetary warming either. “CO2 has played no role in the dramatic climate change of the ice ages, or at any other time over the past 500 million years”, said University of Ottawa Earth Sciences Professor Ian D. Clark. “Only in unverified computer models cited by the IPCC does CO2 drive climate change.”
It is not surprising that the Alberta gov-ernment dare not contest the scientific foundation of the climate scare. Perhaps they even believe Al Gore when he says that the science is settled.
But it makes no sense for Redford and her cabinet to accept, let alone promote alarm. While they do not have the training to know which side of the science is right, they must know that ending our
use of fossil fuels entirely, the ultimate aim of climate activists, would cripple the province’s economy, and eventually that of Canada.
By more carefully crafting her message, Redford can boost Keystone and the oil sands with Washington lawmakers without helping the project’s strongest opponents.
First, all references to “carbon pollu-tion”, “carbon capture and storage”, “carbon tax”, etc. must be avoided. It should be “carbon dioxide emissions” (it is not pollution), “carbon dioxide capture and storage” (an expensive and useless activity), “carbon dioxide taxes”, etc. Calling the gas “carbon” encourages people to think of it as something ‘dirty’, like graphite or soot. Calling CO2 by its proper name would help people remember that it is an invisible gas essential to plant photosynthesis.
Similarly, Redford must stop referring to energy sources that emit little or no CO2 as “clean energy”. This misnomer wrongly implies that conventional energy sources are unclean because of their CO2 emissions.
Redford and her colleagues must strictly avoid supporting the idea that CO2 emissions are causing a climate crisis.
Saying that the oil sands are only a small part of the “problem” and that the government is addressing the issue in other ways is a poor strategy. It supports the foundation of the scare, and portrays the province as irresponsible, not willing to pull its weight in tackling what many believe to be the greatest threat to our future.
The Ralph Klein memorial service in Calgary, April 5, 2013Theresa Lightfoot
ECA Review Freelance
It was a somber, overcast morning in Calgary, but the celebratory memorial ser-vice for former Alberta Premier, Ralph Klein, was anything but downcast.
People lined up early in the cold, waiting to enter the Jack Singer Concert Hall. Along the long row they greeted one another and shared remembrances.
Former colleagues and other dignitaries streamed past the line and into the hall. Some stopped to talk with reporters and their camera crews.
In front of the Calgary Municipal Building onlookers waited for Colleen Klein to arrive. The air rang with Amazing Grace and other songs played by pipers.
With long-time friend Rod Love, Colleen Klein and members of her family watched, with Mayor Naheed Nenshi, warm slide show scenes of Ralph’s life.
White-hatted volunteers escorted the entourage across the street and into the hall. The Calgary Tower flame burnt brightly behind the trees.
Security guards watched from the roof-tops. Ralph Klein’s ashes in a wooden urn
were escorted by a piper into the hall and laid upon the memorial table.
The service began with a native prayer. Dave Bronconnier, Alison Redford, Stephen Harper and others paid tributes to the man and politi-cian, Ralph Klein.
Klein’s fiscal policies, his way of doing business, his dedication to Albertans, his attention-catching style and lasting legacy were covered.
Speakers told many anecdotes capturing Klein’s unique spirit and humour. They thanked Colleen and her family for supporting Ralph, and sharing him with us.
After the service, guests gathered in the foyer while reporters interviewed digni-taries on the balcony above. The huge bouquets were carried out.
Some guests rushed away to catch planes or attend private gatherings like
the one at the Garage sports bar. Commentators continued to broadcast in the square.
As the hearse drove away, a different line-up of the hungry and the cold was forming at the Street Church’s free bar-becue across from Calgary City Hall.
Thus we said a formal farewell to Ralph
Klein, one of Alberta’s and Canada’s most popular leaders, in Calgary, the city in the province in the country that he had loved and served steadfastly, sometimes sur-prisingly, with a sincere passion and vision—three terms as Mayor, and four as Premier- and before that, as a reporter himself.

Davis has a slugging start to remember
Bruce PentonECA Review Columnist
You can have your Josh Hamiltons and Joey Vottos and Jose Bautistas and Mike Trouts. Baltimore Orioles fans are quite happy with their less heralded first baseman, Chris Davis.
The 27-year-old slugger had a first week to remember in Major League Baseball as the Orioles won three of their first four games. He became only the fourth player in major league history to hit home runs in each of his first four games — the fourth one coming with an exclama-tion point (!) as his grand-slammer helped Baltimore beat Minnesota 9-5.
But as far as amazing first weeks go, he had company: Justin Upton of the Braves and Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers came out of the gate faster than a greyhound chasing an electronic rabbit.
Upton, picked up in a trade from Arizona in the off-season, pounded five homers in his first five games for the Braves, but his RBI numbers paled in comparison to those of Davis’s. And Kershaw’s mound num-bers were sensational: Two starts, two shutout wins, 16 innings pitched, six hits allowed, one walk, 16 strike-outs. Like, wow!
Davis’s numbers after four games were like stats you might see in Little League. Besides his four homers, he was batting .600 and had a whopping 16 runs-batted-in, the most ever in MLB over a team’s first four games.
“You put him in the Grand Canyon, he’ll hit it out,” cleanup hitter Adam Jones said of Davis.
After bouncing back and forth between the minor leagues and the Texas Rangers (for whom he hit 17 homers in 2008 and 21 in 2009 before going back to AAA in 2010 due to a habit of striking out),
Davis finally got a real chance with Baltimore after being traded there in June, 2011. He belted 33 homers for the Orioles in 2012, but still struck out 169 times, the fourth-highest total in the American League. In that magic four-game run to start this season, Davis had only one whiff. His 16 RBIs (a pace that would give him 648 for the season) were more than double that of his nearest rival in that department.
April numbers, of course, mean nothing. The season is long, a real grind that stretches out over a full six months. But for ‘Crush’ Davis, Justin Upton and Clayton Kershaw, it’s been quite a start. The fun part will be seeing how long they can maintain their amazing paces.

Richardson wins athlete of the yearBryan Passifiume
ECA Review Reporter
Claire Richardson from Brownfield has been recognized as female athlete of the year at Briercrest College and Seminary in Caronport, Saskatchewan.
The second year student currently serves as captain of her basketball team. This eason saw Richardson selected to represent Briercrest at the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference First Team tournament, helping to lead the school to their best finish in over a decade.
Richardson, who is working on a degree in Biblical Studies, led her school in points per game, steals, rebounds, blocks and turnovers. She also lead the ACAC South Conference in blocks and ranked third in rebounds.
Head coach Chad Romanuk told the Review that Richardson’s performance both on and off the hardwood was respon-sible for her recognition.
“She’s very deserving,” Romanuk said.

She helped to mould and form her young team to enjoy the game. She credits a strong off-court chemistry with their energy on court.
“The girls were really gung-ho,” she said. “They really bought into coach’s strategy.”
Winning builds confidence, she said -- and confi-dence makes for better players.
While the team didn’t achieve their goal of making the playoffs, Richardson did lead her team to their best finish in over a decade.
Richardson plans on returning for a third year, and then returning home to Brownfield to help
her family’s farm. She is confi-dent, and so are her coaches, that the values of leadership and teamwork she instills in her players will resonate for years to come.
“She’s a really good player in our league, and a good player on the team.”
Romanuk describes the idea team cap-tain as an extension of the coach. He says that she possess strong leadership skills and exemplifies the values that Briercrest expects in its athletes.
Richardson was named captain of a very young team. One of only three returning players for the 2013 season, she was taking charge of a very young and inexperienced squad.
Born in Brownfield, she attended high school at Prairie Christian Academy in Three Hills. While a student at PCA, she led her basketball team to win Provincials -- an experience that helped create the dynamic player she is today.
“She’s the backbone of our team,” Romanuk says. “Not only does she lead in stats, she leads in many other ways as well.”
Richardson had stiff competition for the award, going up against girls from across the university’s athletic program.
“I feel pretty blessed,” Richardson said. “It’s a pretty good award to get.”
Coming off of a winning season at her high school, Richardson came into a team suffering from a severe lack of motiva-tion. After a dreadful first season, she took it upon herself to reignite the spark that she felt during her high school experiences.
Upon being made team captain, she worked hard to introduce passion into her team.
“Winning ignites passion for the game,” she said.

Advertorial
Redford should focus instead on how Alberta is reducing air, land and water pollution while increasing energy effi-ciency. She can point out that such actions will also often reduce CO2 emissions, “a source of concern for many people,” she could correctly say. The premier can appear proactive by announcing that the province will convene open, unbiased hearings into the climatic impacts of the oil sands inviting expert testimony from across the debate.
She can conclude by explaining that the government generously funds research that may someday lead to more accurate climate forecasting so as to help people better prepare for future changes.
Canadians can judge for themselves whether Redford continues to support the main argument of Keystone XL oppo-nents. Her Tuesday afternoon presentation to the Brookings Institute will be broadcast on the Web starting at 2 pm EDT.

‘Climate Reality’ presentations lack supporting factsAl Gore’s “Climate Reality”
presentation witnessed by Friends of Science members featured frightening movie clips of disasters, but when asked the questions about cli-mate change science there was no supporting evidence offered.
Friends of Science stand by the evidence-based scientific method and are concerned that this climate “reality” is being promoted in schools across North America, consequently they announce the posting of a point-by-point rebuttal backed up with scientific evidence on their web-site.
Scientific evidence, not fear-mongering propaganda, should be everyone’s ‘beacon of truth’ in this battle for minds and multi-billion in taxpayer’s dollars.
When visitors to Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project are invited to “Join Reality”, it’s an invitation to climate change science assumptions say Friends of Science.
“We’ve been reviewing cli-mate science for over a decade,” says Ken Gregory, director and author of several papers on the sub-ject. “Scientific evidence, not fear-mongering, should be everyone’s ‘beacon of truth’ on climate change where and multi-bil-lion dollars in taxpayer’s dollars are at stake.”
Friends of Science representatives
spent an evening recently with two of Canada’s “Climate Reality” volunteers who were said to have been trained at an Al Gore training school. However, things became awk-ward when Friends of Science asked for evidence to support the claims in the presentation.
“Showing terrifying pictures of floods and droughts and hur-ricanes without showing any scientific evidence to demon-strate a factual link between these and the notion of anthro-pogenic global warming is just fear-mongering,” says Gregory.
Friends of Science offer a detailed review of the proceed-ings on their web-site supported with scientific graphs and citations showing there is no increase in storms or severe weather events.
According to the research review by the Friends of Science, the sun is the main driver of climate change. As noted by NOAA, stratospheric water vapor is a wild card in relation to the effect of carbon dioxide on warming. Declining upper atmosphere water vapor
offsets most of the presumed warming effect of CO2 emis-sions and allows heat to escape to space.
Likewise, according to the most recent revelations, global warming stopped 16 years ago, despite a rise in carbon dioxide (CO2).
“That surprised the Climate Reality people. They were con-vinced the world was much hotter. They hadn’t heard of UK Met Hadley weather center report showing global warming stopped 16 years ago,” says Gregory.
“We always hear about a 97 per cent consensus, but when you read this study, you find out they chose only 76 people from some 10,000 scientists,” says Gregory. “It inten-tionally misleads the public. Thousands of scien-tists, particularly earth scientists and astrophysicists can present substantial peer-reviewed data
that refutes the AGW theory.”A review of The Climate
Reality Project website reveals that this unsupported climate fright material is entering schools across North America.
Friends of Science offers open membership to the gen-eral public around the world, or one can join the conversation on facebook.
Friends of Science have spent a decade reviewing a broad spectrum of literature on cli-mate change. The core group of the Friends of Science is made up of retired earth and atmo-spheric scientists.

MRTA Grant cut, effect on Castor Golf ClubJenna Cole
ECA Review Reporter
Castor campground and golf club may be facing tough times ahead with their money from the Municipal Recreation/Tourism Areas (MRTA) grant being cut in half this year, and discontinued the next.
The MRTA grant was part of the Alberta Sport, Recreation Parks and Wildlife Foundation (ASRPWF) program. It started in ’81 and promised grants would be available to communities for 25 years. With the provincial funding towards ASRPWF decreased the organi-zation had to make some cuts of their own.
Originally the town received $20,000, as the grant got older this amount got reduced to $8,000. Usually half the money would go towards the campground and half towards the golf course to maintain their washrooms, which was shared by campground users, and any other needs.
Instead of receiving the full amount, the town will get $4,000 this year, which will go completely to the golf club, and
nothing next year. Sandi Jackson, the town’s C.A.O, said it
is more than enough money to cover this year’s needs but next year they will have
to meet with the golf club and figure out what to do.
Bryon Dunlop, president of the golf club, is worried what this will mean for the club.
“Any lost revenue in a small town hurts. We are struggling to make ends meet as it is,” he said

A bit of a population explosion in AllianceDiane Dammann
ECA Review Submitted
Argyle Women’s Institute meeting on Wednesday had four guests. It was a crazy meeting. We have so much on the go: District meeting in Bashaw, Constituency Conference in Alliance on April 20, Provincial Convention in Camrose in May and the 100th anniversary and centennial garden. We had to do a presentation in Bashaw. There will be a handicraft competi-tion at both Alliance and Camrose and we have some entries to go there. The girls club also has entries for the handicraft competition.
Lilas Lysne who now lives in Edmonton is still very much a member of Argyle Women’s Institute. She was here for the meeting and brought lunch. Verleen Spady gave the educational portion of the meeting. Her topic is education. She brought a very interesting report on the local Outreach School Program.
Karen Wiart of Red Deer was here to visit her parents, Chuck and Brenda who just got home from their winter hiatus.
There has been a bit of a popula-
tion explosion in Alliance. Annette LaFontaine and
daughter, Pam LaFontaine, and Guy Godine have moved into the rental house next to the United Church. Pamela and Guy have three children, Guy, Sadie and Lucius who will join them at the end of the school year. The chil-dren are staying in Edmonton with Pamela’s sister.
Brittany and Derrick Eberle and son are back in town after spending the winter in Manitoba where Derrick was working.
Congratulations to Amanda Goudet and Colt David on the birth of their second daughter. Sierra Dawn was born on February 10 in Calgary. Sierra weighed eight pounds five ounces. Big sister, Serenity is now two. The family lives in the trailer at Cecil Van Hecke’s farm.
Barbara Steadman, Randy Wickstrom and I attended the WI District meeting in Bashaw on Saturday. We heard what the other branches were doing as well as some information on the local Victims Services. Ladies came from all across central Alberta. We had a chance to talk to Evie (Allan) who grew up in the Alliance area.
Evie is 91 and still enjoys curling as well as WI. She lives by Leslieville.
The Friends of the Battle River Railway are in the final prepara-tion stages for the big Gala on the weekend. We have gone to great lengths to make it a very special evening.
I met Minseon and Sonny Ryu, the new owners at the grocery store. They say that it has been very nice the way everyone has been in to welcome them. They will have a different supplier. AG will be the new brand. They came from Calgary where they operated a convenience store. They will have an ATM, yes.. a cash machine..in the store soon.
The United Church Women took their meeting to Castor on Friday to include Marie Rands. We met in the kitchenette which worked out very well. Marie supplied tea and cookies.
After church this Sunday, birthday cakes for Peter and Roger Spady were shared among the con-gregation. Happy birthday was also sung for Lila Davidson who had a birthday March 27. Wilma McLeod, the cake lady, had a cake for Lila to take home.
Rev. Jope was away this week
but he left a prepared service including sermon for the Worship Committee to present. Laura Towers read the service.
Ken, Anne and Patrick Clough, Joe and Celie
Hollman, Alex Hollman (Anne’s brothers) Shaun Devra, Kaitlin and Jessica Clough all met for Easter dinner at Red Deer Buffet for the yearly get together.

Local farmers hope for profitable growing season amid near record crop pricesNear record crop prices are fuelling the
possibility of a profitable growing season as farmers across east central Alberta prepare for spring seeding.
“With canola fluctuating around $14.50 per bushel and barley averaging about $5.30 in March, farmers are hoping the weather cooperates better this year – so they can cash in on these high prices with bumper crops,” says Lorelei Hulston, Provincial Insurance Manager for Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC), which administers crop insurance in Alberta on behalf of the provincial and federal governments.
“Producers would like to avoid the dis-appointment of last year,” says Hulston. “Prices were high and the growing season looked promising. Then came a series of unexpected weather and disease issues that left many with below average yields and crop insurance claims.”
Close to $532 million was paid out through crop insurance across Alberta last year, including the County of Paintearth. Claims were triggered by sev-eral factors including widespread hail, lack of moisture, and heat stress caused by hot July weather.
“Many canola fields were hit by an unexpected disease called aster yellows. Diseases like sclerotinia and insects like army cutworms also became a problem,” says Hulston.
Whether prices remain at near record highs – allowing farmers to cash in once they harvest crops this fall – depends mainly on the weather, says Charlie Pearson, a provincial crop market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development.
“Mother Nature is in control.”
Grain prices could drop 10 to 20 per cent
Pearson explains today’s high prices were created by last year’s drought in the U.S., Russia, Ukraine, and South America – leaving tight corn and oilseed supplies worldwide.
“If the world gets good weather and decent crops, we’ll have larger grain sup-plies this fall – causing prices to drop 10 to 20 per cent depending on how much grain is harvested,” he predicts.
“But if drought conditions continue in these major grain growing regions of the world and supplies tighten further, prices could climb higher.”
While he expects grain prices will soften this fall, Pearson says strong demand for meat and cooking oil in China and the U.S. ethanol policy should keep prices “histori-cally high and profitable for most producers.”
SPE protects high prices“However, we’ll probably see wild price
swings. Historically there’s more market volatility when prices are high,” he explains.
“It’s a good year for farmers to consider locking in some of the profitable prices being forecast with a tool like the Spring Price Endorsement (SPE).”
The SPE is an optional crop insurance rider that compensates farmers if prices drop 10 to 50 per cent between spring and fall on harvested crops.
If grain prices climb higher – by 10 to 50 per cent – a built-in crop insurance feature called the Variable Price Benefit (VPB) insures farmers at the higher price if their crop fails, adds Hulston.
The VPB paid out nearly $108 million in 2012 – a record amount – when prices jumped by up to 50 per cent on some crops between spring and fall.
Hulston expects interest in the SPE will rise this year as producers look for ways to protect against falling prices, but she says the production guarantee crop insurance
provides will once again be the key reason farmers insure as much as 14 million acres of Alberta cropland this spring.
‘Every spring brings new risks’Len Solick, a pedigreed seed grower who
farms 3,800 acres near Halkirk, is hoping grain prices stay strong and he can har-vest big enough crops to cover rising input costs.
“Our fertilizer costs are extreme. We’ve got to get that back with a good crop.”
Solick says he’ll be watching for problem insects on his farm this year. Moisture is also often a concern.
“Who knows, it could be wet this year. It was dry in the fall but we’ve had more snow than we’ve seen in a long time. We never know what we’ll be dealing with over the growing season.

“Every spring brings new risks to manage,” he says, explaining that’s why he takes crop insurance and the Hail Endorsement rider every year. Solick says last year he was lucky, harvesting a fair to above average crop with only minor hail damage.
All-risk coverageLike Solick, most
farmers enrolled in crop insurance take the highest coverage levels – insuring 70 to 80 per cent of their average crop yield – because it’s impossible to predict what might impact their crops each year, says Hulston. The majority also take the Hail Endorsement rider, she says, noting about 60 per cent of crop insur-ance premiums are subsidized by government. “It’s all-risk coverage that insures every-thing from drought and hail to frost, flooding, insects, wind, dis-ease, and wildlife.”
As producers fill out their crop insurance forms, Hulston reminds them to declare all acres they intend to seed this year – whether they plan
to insure them or not – to be eligible for the Unseeded Acreage and Reseeding Benefits if those fields become flooded.
Farmers can also Auto-Elect Straight Hail Insurance cov-erage at a 2 per cent discount if they choose that option with their crop insurance before April 30. And pro-ducers wishing to defer claim payments until the next calendar year are urged to notify AFSC as soon as pos-sible, because once claim cheques are issued, payments can no longer be deferred. Producers with ques-tions about crop insurance can contact their local AFSC District Office.

There are probably thousands of old-style, above ground, gravity-fed fuel tanks on farms all around Alberta. They’ve served producers well, but maybe time and technology have passed them by and it really is time to move on. The fact is there are far better and safer options to old-style fuel tanks that offer greater con-venience, security, economy and environmental stewardship. For example, double-walled fuel tanks that sit on the ground, not above it, and are operated with an electric pump, embody all these advances. It’s a definite step up in on-farm fuel storage and accessibility.
The pros and…prosThere are a lot of good reasons to consider up-grading to a double-walled fuel tank, but here are the top five that make it an idea whose time has come. Reduce delay. As farm equipment gets larger, so do the Fuel tanks. It can take forever to fill a 200-gallon tank by gravity, not to men-tion that the equipment itself is getting taller, so it’s harder to get gravity on your side when you’re filling the combine. Because double-walled fuel storage tanks are pump operated, they can move 20 to 30 gallons of fuel a minute for faster fill-ups and fewer delays during busy seasons. Plus they’re bigger, so you don’t have to call for fuel delivery as often and can ensure you have more fuel on hand during peak times. Hedge against price hikes. More fuel
storage space means more flexibility when it comes to purchasing fuel. If you get a bigger system, you can hedge against sharply rising gas prices. In other words, if you fill a 1,000-gallon fuel tank today at $1/L and if the price goes up to $1.10/L the following week, well, a hundred bucks is a hundred bucks. Larger tanks mean you can stock up when you see a good price. Protect against theft. Frankly, it’s just too easy to steal fuel from an above ground gravity-fed tank. Thieves simply cut the hose and take what they want, leaving the rest to spill on the ground, so not only have you lost fuel, you’ve got a big environmental mess to clean up. New tanks have electric pumps, which means you can control where the power switch is and who has access to it. Protect against injury. Because they rely on gravity, old fuel tanks are usually perched on some kind of structure where risk of injury is higher during filling, fueling and basic main-tenance. With on ground fuel tanks, it is safer for farmers, as well as the petroleum employees who come out to fill them. Plan for the future. Double-walled tanks are far less likely to leak than older single-walled tanks. And this is particularly important on two fronts: first, today’s fuel can actually contribute to leakage in old tanks (biofuels scour the in-sides, removing rust and dirt, uncovering cracks and holes and contaminating the fuel itself in the process); and second, whatever the cause,
a leaking tank can lead to a big environmental cleanup bill when it comes time to sell the farm, or pass it on to your kids.
UFA can helpDouble-walled fuel tanks come in many sizes, from 500 gallons up to 25,000 litres, with the 1,000-gallon and larger tanks being the most popular. A 1,000 gallon tank, including pump, can be had for under $4,000, which is not a huge dollar investment given the benefits it of-fers over old, above ground tanks. As well, you need to select an appropriate site and prepare the ground properly to avoid any environmental or settling issues, and you’ll need to be a quali-fied electrician to hook it up. UFA regularly stocks 500 and 1,000 gallon fuel tanks, along with pumps, so you can easily stop by to see what they look like and get expert advice about what would work best for your farm situation. (larger tanks of 11,000, 15,000 and 25,000 litres are available on order.) Farming is difficult enough without having to worry about the logistics of your fuel needs. Bigger, double-walled, on the ground fuel tanks can alleviate some of the hassle associated with busy times on the farm and can be a good in-vestment for the future.

FUEL TANKS: FIVE REASONS TO BE OUT WITH THE OLD.
A G R I C U LT U R E
Should I rent out that land? Agri-NewsThe average age of the Alberta farmer
on one-operator farms is 56.2 years-of-age, which means that there is a large demo-graphic that will be considering retirement in the next few years.
Retirement may mean stepping away from the active operation of the farm, but the retiring farmer may retain ownership of their farm land and rent it out as income generating investment for a number of years.
“One question that may be posed is, if your retiring neighbor comes to you with an offer to rent his land, can you afford to rent it?,” comments Rick Dehod, grain farm business specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development.
“With the strong returns of the last two years, the answer may be ‘Yes, of course.’ The opportunity to rent more land may provide the scale and efficiency to make a farm more profitable.
“But, with recent snowfalls and the moisture conditions in export market competitors’ fields, prices have soften.
However, commodity prices are not the only consideration. The offer of addition land to rent can present challenges that are more than you want to tackle.”
Some potential challenges include:• agreeing on a fair market rent• having the cash, or access to operating
capital, to finance all variable costs until a new crop can be marketed
• the ability to meet all of the farm’s cash commitments until the new crop can be sold
• the additional financial risk versus the potential opportunity
• adequate available seed and fertilizer• the physical ability and time to take on
additional work• family support of the decision• availability of full-time or seasonal
labour in the area, and the staff man-agement considerations
• adequate grain storage and cost, whether existing on current property or on the rented land being considered, or possible alternatives
• enough equipment to handle the addi-tional acres in a timely manner, and whether additional machinery or equip-ment will have to be purchased or
custom operators hired• if more equipment must be purchased,
what additional debt will be incurred and what is the risk tolerance
• will there be a profit after the cost of production and the land rent are paid
• is the land and rental market competitive
• is this a fleeting opportunity that may not present itself again or for at least a long time“Each producer must answer these
questions based on their current situation and unique circumstances and the feasi-bility judged in a case-by-case manner,” says Dehod.
“A lot of producers may have already reviewed plans for the 2013/2014 crop year, but they should remain vigilant and pre-pared should the opportunity to rent additional land arise in the future.”
Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development has many tools to help pro-ducers process the information needed to make an informed decision.• Crop Returns Calculator produces a
whole farm enterprise budget to allow farmers to analyze which decisions will increase their profitability and assess the returns on crop share rent and cash rental.
• CropChoice$ tool can be used to assist producers in evaluating the risk between differing crop plans and assessing your Cost of Production.
• Cash Flow Analyzer reviews the season-ality of the farm’s cash inflows and outflows, and shows how your mar-keting plan affects cash flow and short term viability. You can assess how the addition of additional rental land would affect your farm’s liquidity.
• Farm Machinery Cost Calculator allows you to calculate ownership and oper-ating costs of common farm equipment.
• Leasing Cropland in Alberta is a publi-cation available from our Publications office. This updated book looks at many aspects of leasing and serves as a guide for setting up a lease that is suitable to both the landlord and the tenant. Included in this 50-page book is a sample lease agreement.

One-way ticket to town - caution always should be taken prior to entering the penby Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist, North
Dakota State University Extension ServiceBull 50 just bought himself a one-way
ticket to town. For bulls, there are only two pens. One is the pen for breeding bulls, while the other bulls go to the “for beef market” pen.
I climbed over a fence instead of using the standard gate to enter one of the bull pens. However, Bull 50 decided that was not acceptable. In a fraction of a second, Bull 50 was on me. There is no lack of understanding when one comes face to face with a bull that is seeking domi-nance. He is the boss, so, in this case, I needed to move. I took the quick exit and scaled the fence.
Although Bull 50 won the moment, I won the event. By that afternoon, Bull 50 was on a trailer heading to town destined for the next day’s market. Market beef would become Bull 50’s new name.
Although the need to anchor the busi-ness of beef in data and numbers is real, there always is room for discussion because many day-to-day activities are producer and ranch dependent.
One such point is temperament. The Dickinson Research Extension Center tries to have a zero tolerance for chal-lenging temperaments.
Interestingly, oftentimes those closest to the cattle are more sympathetic than those who are more distant or perhaps not down in the chutes. There are excuses, but the bottom line is that aggressive tem-perament by a bull can’t be tolerated.
Bull 50 was a good 2-year-old, at least by the numbers. He was selected based on excellent marbling and rib eye traits and certainly was a good carcass bull. Those are critical traits when cattle are fed out because ranch profit is a function of har-vest value. That all changed when bull
50’s eyes met mine. The look was not good.The truth is, as producers tend to their
bulls, they become part of the bulls’ pecking order.
More kindness, caring and scratching of the head only make matters worse. The bull slowly adapts to the caregiver as one of the gang. Even if the bull does not mean to, that fateful day simply is a function of a 2,000-pound or more animal picking a fight with a 160-pound-plus person.
Guess who wins?Bull 50 was not kidding. The snort, look
of the eyes, deliberate focused movement, tossing of the head without losing eye con-tact and pawing of the ground were strong signs of aggression. Winning the fight with a bull will not happen.
Anyway, Bull 50 is now market beef and the price probably will be slightly above $100 per hundredweight. At least the day was not all about medical expenses. Cattle
do not pay for medical bills very well, and they do not sit around talking about estate taxes or who takes over once the boss is gone.
Cattle don’t care and only respond to cues that trigger behavior. If attacked, they will retreat or maybe choose to defend.
One never knows the day or time when a bull, or cow with a newborn calf decides this is the day to challenge that two-legged critter who comes to the pen every day.
