We Salute the Farm Families of East Central Alberta

We admire you for your vision, your resilience and your fortitude . We recognize that farming is a way of life, a passion – but it’s also business . Often big business .

With farming comes risks . Reliance on Mother Nature, exposure to dangerous chemicals, the potential for disabling injuries . And those darn insects! (Not the mosquitoes that bug golfers while they’re putting!) It doesn’t seem totally fair that you should be so susceptible to the moods of the markets . While we realize you might have a very good year when prices of grain, livestock or poultry are high, it’s also clear to us there are trying, frustrating years when, through no fault of your own, you suffer emotionally and financially when world prices are down for the products you grow and raise .

We admire you for your entrepreneurial spirit – you have no union leader to complain to because you have to get up in the middle of the night during calving season . You have no one to talk to about having a day in lieu of the Sunday morning you missed because you were pulling a stump out of the innermost bowels of your combine .

Thank you for being you!

As farmers, you support the businesses in our small rural communities . You come to Camrose for many of your large purchases . You have a major impact on our economy . You faithfully read the information we send to your mailbox each week!

And lest we forget, thank you for the blessings of the food we eat .

Without you, where would we be? That’s something, as Albertans, we’d rather not think about!

The COUNTRY BOOSTER, March 18, 2014 –

The Battle River Community Foundation made a grant to the Forestburg Library to assist in ensuring the Storytime program is available year round.

The grant came from the Foundations’ Community Funds, which are available for projects throughout the Battle River Region.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects such as this in East Central Alberta which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Founda-tion are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Com-munity Foundation has granted over $2,250,000 to sup-port community services like children’s programs at the Forestburg Library.

Battle River Community Foundation vice chair James May-er presented a cheque to Peter Miller, mayor of Forestburg.

By Amy LuccianioWe never, and I mean

never, know what will come through the door at our antique roadshow events. Such was the case in Prince George, B.C. when a couple showed up with an old duffle bag; but it was what was hidden inside the bag that took our appraiser’s breath away.

A Stradivarius violin made by a member of the Stradivari family during the golden period of 1770 was tucked away inside an old stinky hockey duffle bag.

After several phone calls and numerous pic-tures sent to a world renown Stradivarius deal-er in New York City, the rare piece was confirmed the real deal and valued at a cool $1 million. An offer was made for $800,000 and the violin is now in a personal collection in New York.

Not everything that comes into the Roadshow is of great value. A vase a lady brought into the road-show in Prince Edward Island was said to have belonged to Queen Anne of Scotland, however, the little tag on the bottom that read “Made In China” confirmed it was in fact a $19 vase from Walmart.

At the roadshow in Saskatoon an elderly gentleman came into the roadshow with a child’s lit-tle red wagon full of what he claimed were gold nug-gets. Our precious metals appraiser and long time gold buyer quickly discov-ered the rocks where just that – rocks from good old Saskatchewan, but again a rare discovery was made because the little red wag-on was built by Renaldo Brothers in 1918 and was in excellent condition. The owner was offered $700, however, he declined, say-ing if he sold the wagon he would have no way to take his gold rocks home, I think the elder-ly gentleman may have thought the appraiser said gold rocks instead of old rocks.

We have heard all the horror stories of folks get-ting ripped off and not being paid a fair price for their gold and silver jewellery and coins. Sim-ply selling one’s gold and

silver jewellery for its melt value is not neces-sary the best way to go. People usually have a few hundred dollars coming to them from the sale of their items reports Road-show manager Amy Kyle, however we were in shock when a gentleman walked into the show with a dolly loaded with three card-board boxes full of silver and gold coins.

When we began to sort through the coins it became very obvious that this would take several hours as there were thou-sands and thousands of coins, both Canadian and US. The huge collection was accumulated over 50 years by the now cur-rent owners’ grandfather, Mike Scotsman, who him-self just recently retired and shared this amazing story of how his grand-father found most of the coins while working at the municipal dump in Bran-don, Manitoba.

“Papa was the only employee at the dump for 33 years and, during that time, he set up a small car washing and cleaning side business at the dump. It was free of charge in exchange for any pop bot-tles or beer bottles the customers would donate.

“Papa also offered a free interior vacuum ser-vice with the car wash and he would always find a few coins in the ashtray or on the floor. Ninety nine per cent of the time his customers would tell him to keep the coins.

“For 30-some years Papa would come home each day and put the few coins in a glass jar. Over the years the collection turned into hundreds of jars of silver coins. I can clearly remember my grandfather saying ‘some day we will be rich, rich, rich when I sell my coins,’ and then he would break into a big belly laugh that would rattle the dishes in gamma’s china cabinet.

“Papa never did cash in his coins; he spent many a night picking out what he thought would some day become rare or collector coins and would tell me some day this coin or that coin would be worth a fortune.

Wednesday, March 26, 2014 – 7:00 p.m.Norsemen Inn, Camrose

The Members will consider the passing of a Special Resolution. The Special Resolution Motion is provided below:

BE IT RESOLVED THATHaving been presented with the Amalgamation Agreement for the amalgamation of the Battle River Credit Union Ltd. and the Caisse Horizon Credit Union Ltd. and upon hearing the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Battle River Credit Union Ltd. that it is in the best interest of the Battle River Credit Union Ltd. to enter into the Amalgamation Agreement and to continue operations as the amalgamated credit union*, the members approve the Amalgamation Agreement.

Summary of the Amalgamation Agreement:

The Amalgamation Agreement means and contains the terms and conditions upon which the Battle River Credit Union Ltd. (“Battle River”) will amalgamate their members and business with the Caisse Horizon Credit Union Ltd. (“Horizon”) in accordance with the Credit Union Act (Alberta).

The board of directors of both Battle River and Horizon have completed the necessary due diligence and they are recommending that the members of Battle River and Horizon approve the Amalgamation Agreement. The proposed new credit union will create a +$800 million credit union serving the needs of 23,000 members through seventeen full-service locations. The new credit union will operate under a new name that will be identifi ed in March 2014 and will take effect May 1, 2014.

The proposed merger has the unanimous support of the Boards of Directors of both Battle River and Horizon credit unions. The shared future vision is a credit union that is operationally competitive and differentiated through its service levels and support for community.

The members of Battle River and Horizon will immediately benefi t from a larger and more diverse credit union that is able to offer a broader range of products and services including access to specialized resources, wealth and advisory services and greater depth in the area of agricultural lending. Horizon’s staff and members will benefi t from a larger and more robust management team that will provide executive leadership to the credit union’s various functions and business lines.

The new credit union will have the capacity to increase its support for risk management and administrative functions to ensure that the assets of members are even better protected in the future than they are today. Finally, the merger will create new economies of scale that will drive enhanced profi tability and the ability to invest in expanded services and/or returns for the members.

The amalgamated credit union will have seventeen branches located throughout north central and north west Alberta, comprised of the current eleven Battle River branches and the current six Horizon branches (the “Amalco*”).

Consistent with prudent business practices all business areas of Amalco will be assessed for viability on an ongoing basis. Should Amalco discover that any one business area is not contributing to the corporate goals and strategy, the Board may elect to discontinue this business area of the Amalco operations.

The Amalgamation Agreement also includes the bylaws for the Amalco. The bylaws are available at your local branch.

The board of directors of Battle River and Horizon have recommended the bylaws for the Amalco for member approval.

The board of directors of the Amalco will continue to be elected from Battle River and Horizon service areas, and represent all regions. The Board will initially consist of 12 members.

The Members of both Battle River and Horizon will become members of the Amalco with all of the rights and privileges they currently enjoy. The Amalco will continue to operate under the existing management structure. The head offi ce for the Amalco will be located in Camrose, Alberta and the current CEO of Horizon will take on the position of Vice President North.

Battle River is currently the highest ranking credit union in the province in terms of capital levels. Horizon has a strong foundation of loyal members and talented staff and the communities Horizon serves present growth opportunities for the future. Horizon lacks the economies of scale and resources that will be necessary to adequately invest in the future, given the increasingly competitive market. The combined assets of Battle River and Horizon will result in a $800 million credit union which will be the second highest ranked credit union in terms of capital levels, serving over 25,000 members.

The transition cost to complete the amalgamation, including professional fees, amalgamation of internal systems, branding, signage, and related cost is estimated to be $1,000,000.00.

Currently members of Battle River each hold one share at par value of $1 per share and Horizon members hold 25 shares at a par value of $1 per share. Following the amalgamation there will be a mandatory redemption of 24 shares for each Horizon member. The total cost of this redemption will be approximately $120,000.00.

If approved by the members of both Horizon and Battle River the Amalgamation Agreement would take effect on May 1, 2014.

A copy of the complete Amalgamation Agreement will be available at the Battle River Annual General Meeting and the Horizon Annual General Meeting.

*The proposed name of the Amalco will be presented at the Annual General Meeting.

On March 5 at approximately 4:25 a.m., Viking RCMP officers responded to a report of a CN train derailment which occurred in Beaver County, Alberta between range road 110 and range road 111 on the rail adjacent to Highway 14.

Officers confirmed that two empty grain cars sustained damage as a result of coming off the track. No one was injured. CN crews attended the scene and the cleanup pro-cess was started.

Criminal activity is not suspected and CN police are on scene investigating the incident.

There was no crossing in the area, therefore flow of traf-fic was not affected.

Continued from page 4“My grandfather

passed on many years ago and left his collection to my sister and I. Now with us retiring we decided we would see what the collec-tion would be worth so we brought them to the Cana-dian Artiques Roadshow.

“After several hours of going over the coins the road show staff had in fact dis-covered 21 U.S. silver dollars that had the rare mint mark from the San Francisco Mint. These coins alone are worth $800 apiece. They also uncovered one-half ounce gold coin and seven quarter-ounce gold coins.

“The gold coins we decid-ed to keep and give to our grandchildren, however, as none of our children or grand-children have an interest in coin collecting we decided to sell the bulk of papa’s collec-tion as the coins were worth many times their face value, as the price of silver is at world record highs. The total weight of the coins was 102 lbs. and the Roadshow staff offered us a fantastic price. Lets just say papa was right when he said some day we would be rich.

“It was sad to hand over papa’s coins but we are sure he would get a huge belly laugh if he knew his silver coins earned us enough to pay for a big part of his great grand children’s schooling.”

The Roadshow staff will evaluate free of charge the dimes, quarters, 50 cent piec-es or silver dollars that any-one wishes to bring. If you wish to sell, Global Gold will pay you cash on the spot. The same goes for gold jewellery: we buy it all. Don’t forget, even costume jewellery can have serious value as well.

“Railways are now required to deliver specific quantities of grain every week and to regularly report on the volumes carried.” – Crowfoot MP Kevin Sorenson.

The Honourable Kevin Sorenson, Minister of State (Finance) and Member of Parliament for Crowfoot, is pleased that Transport Min-ister Lisa Raitt and Agri-culture Minister Gerry Ritz have announced concrete measures to move more grain through the transpor-tation system.

“This is good news for producers in our riding who have experienced delays in the movement of their grain,” said Sorenson.

Minister Raitt announced an Order in Council (OIC) to take imme-diate effect, setting out mini-mum volumes of grain that Canadian National Railway Company and Canadian Pacific Railway Company are each required to move. The Order, under section 47(1) of the Canada Trans-portation Act, also requires the railways to report to the Minister of Transport on weekly shipments.

“The railways will be required to increase the vol-umes carried each week, over a period of four weeks, to a combined target of 1,000,000 metric tonnes per week – more than doubling the vol-ume currently being moved,” said Sorenson. “This Order creates direct legal obliga-tions on railways and will result in penalties for non-compliance of up to $100,000 per day.”

Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced that the government will intro-duce legislation when Par-liament returns to establish measures to ensure Cana-da maintains a world-class logistics system that gets agricultural products to mar-ket more efficiently. The gov-ernment continues to call on all parties in the grain sup-ply chain to play constructive roles to ensure the timely movement of grain, and to continue working together on medium and long-term solu-tions.

“In our region of the prairies, we are all looking forward to this promised legislation and as the MP for Crowfoot, I am looking forward to the debate in the House of Commons,” said Sorenson.

producer Dave Solverson has been elected as the new president of the Cana-dian Cattlemen’s Associa-tion.

Dave will be assisted by Dan Darling of Cramahe, ON, who was named the

vice-president. He takes over from Martin Unrau, who moves to the position of past president. The posi-tions are for two years.

The Solverson brothers (Dave and Ken) manage a 5,000 acre cow-calf to finish farm west of Camrose.

One of the first tasks

for the new president will be to work on a solution of the dispute with the United States over its mandatory country-of-origin labelling (COOL) legislation.

The association will also be working on free trade agreements with Korea and Japan and

ensuring that the Com-prehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the European Union is implemented in a manner that enables Canada’s beef cattle producers to enjoy the benefits that have been negotiated.

Dave Solverson elected new presidentof the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association

And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a caretaker.” So God made a farmer.

God said, “I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fi elds, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.” So God made a farmer.

“I need somebody with arms strong enough to rustle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to wait lunch until his wife’s done feeding visiting ladies and tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon – and mean it.” So God made a farmer.

God said, “I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt. And watch it die. Then dry his eyes and say, ‘Maybe next year.’ I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from a persimmon sprout, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire, who can make harness out of haywire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. And who, planting time and harvest season, will fi nish his forty-hour week by Tuesday noon, then, pain’n from ‘tractor back,’ put in another seventy-two hours.” So God made a farmer.

God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in mid-fi eld and race to help when he sees the fi rst smoke from a neighbor’s place. So God made a farmer.

God said, “I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bales, yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-combed pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the broken leg of a meadow lark. It had to be somebody who’d plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fl eece and strain the milk and replenish the self-feeder and fi nish a hard week’s work with a fi ve-mile drive to church.

“Somebody who’d bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh and then sigh, and then reply, with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life ‘doing what Dad does.’” So God made a farmer.

So God made a farmerby Paul Harvey

Thank you to our farming friends.Best of luck with this year’s crop.

Paddle the Peace named top tourism champion winner

By Murray GreenThe 14th annual Grow-

ing Rural Tourism Confer-ence honoured the champion of promoting rural tourism on March 4 during the Time to Shine banquet at the Camrose Regional Exhibition.

Agriculture and Rural Development minister and local MLA Verlyn Olson brought greetings from the province. “Tourism is such a great vehicle for economic development and a great way to diversify our economy,” said Olson. “As part of the Building Alberta Plan we are work-ing on making communities a great place to raise a family. We talk about living within our means and developing markets.”

Minister Olson said com-munities have changed the focus from being competitive with each other to working together. “(Rural tourism) is an opportunity to open the world’s eyes of some of the opportunities around the province. It is your creativity which will make that possible. Globetrotters want to see an interesting part of the world that they don’t have where they live. However, we can’t forget the four million people who live in Alberta.”

Last year, the province started the Alberta Open Farm Days program that brought urban people out on to the farms in the rural areas. “We had 40 farms with about 3,000 visitors. It was a great opportunity to showcase rural Alberta,” said Olson. “It is important to show them how and where food is produced. There is a lot to be proud of. This is something that is going to grow. It is exciting times for Alberta, whether is it in tourism or other areas. Rural Alberta has been the unsung hero in the past and it is time for all of us to start singing.”

City deputy mayor Ray McIsaac and county council-lor Doug Lyseng also talked about tourism within the area.

The Edmonton Region-al Tourism Group, Alberta Southwest and Paddle the

Peace were nominated for the champion award.

CRE’s Jennifer Philip introduced the Paddle the Peace group. “Through a dedicated group of munici-pal partners, businesses and volunteers, Paddle the Peace was launched four years ago and promotes awareness of the region’s natural recre-ation resources along the mighty Peace River, includ-ing its campgrounds and surrounding lakes,” she said. “Paddle the Peace includes three municipalities working together to promote tourism, recreation and local business-es.”

In 2012, they piloted a new idea with Paddle the Peace Junior. “Created and equipped to trained youth with skills to paddle locally and abroad. Over the years a few of these students became vital paddle volunteers. The project encouraged the theme of stay and play. They encour-age people to use parks that they never knew existed, or have never been to,” said Jen-nifer. “It increased awareness for a local bed and breakfast with recreational activities to paddle as these businesses provide weekend packages.”

The numbers continue to increase. In 2012, they had 80 paddlers on the river. In 2013, they had 120 registered for brunch and over 100 paddlers. “Affordability wrapped up in a great experience is the hook that lures the relationship with the Peace Country and its residents,” said Jennifer.

The Edmonton group also had a strong entry. The ERTG was formed to pool resources and to create afford-able marketing opportunities. It was formed to fill an exist-ing gap in tourism marketing that existed in rural areas around Edmonton.

Alberta Southwest pro-moted the bottom corner of the province. Alberta South-west is an untapped region of energy and alternative energy, agriculture and value-added agriculture and geo-tourism development.

Murray Green, Camrose BoosterAlberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson presented the tourism champion award to County of Northern Lights’ Teresa Tupper, of community services, and supervisor Amber Houle, of community services, for the Pad-dle the Peace tourism program. The award was presented during the Time to Shine event at the CRE on March 4.

outs full so there is enough water for animals. I know it has been a long cold winter, but we are confident that we will have a nice warm spring and we will get going (seed-ing) on time.”

A fertilizer shortage could cause prices to increase more than projected. “In talking to the Canadian Fer-tilizer Institute two weeks ago, they were very con-cerned with the shut down of nitrogen production plants and getting enough fertilizer in,” Humphrey shared. “We expect a fertilizer shortage this May. I encourage all pro-

ducers to lock in or get their fertilizer ordered as soon as possible because it is highly possible we will see a short-age. It will be a challenge for some producers to meet their needs this spring.”

Canola is still the num-ber one grain planted across the prairies. “I see a trend that we will have a little increase in canola produc-tion again this year. Wheat might see a little drop, but not many people are locked into crop rotations and they are going to stick to it,” said Humphrey. “There will be a small movement across the

prairies, but we don’t have much room to move towards more canola right now. Most producers are pushing their rotation as much as they dare right now. I don’t expect to see a big move.”

It could come down to when the seeding dates are and what the markets are like when seeding season hits. “It depends on prices from now until May 1. If you see a spike in one crop it could change the acreage market (the amount of acres planted in various crops),” continued Humphrey. “The commodity buyers could push the prices

up to encourage more growth in the amount of acres plant-ed.”

All said and done, Hum-phrey said the year looks good so far. “We are getting more people (urban) under-standing where our food comes from. That is a posi-tive for our industry. When they see a combine in the field, they know we are pro-ducing food. They are now understanding the entire food process.”

Farmers continue to operate under the thought of feeding the world.

Banack expects good year By Murray Green

Central Alberta and the area east to the Saskatch-ewan border experienced some bumper crops last year to give the area a healthy outlook for 2014.

Although the slow rail-way service has hindered some producers in clearing out their bins to prepare for this year, many farmers cel-ebrated a good year. That trend could continue this year.

“Overall agriculture is positive. We are seeing good cattle and pork prices. There are going to be some chal-lenges in the grain sector. Moving last year’s crop out of the area has been slow. In talking to farmers across western Canada, we are for-tunate to get the shipping we have had here. I know some will have a difficult time get-ting the grain out and that will be a challenge for them,” said Round Hill producer and Canadian Federation of Agriculture first vice presi-dent Humphrey Banack.

Provincial and federal agricultural ministers are trying to get the rail systems moving a little faster.

“That will help move the grain out to the ports,” said Banack. “Right now we have 54 vessels waiting in Van-couver and Prince Rupert for grain and that is a challenge to get the grain there. Rail plays a big part in moving the grain. We have to be able to get the grain to the rail cars, but it’s the railway we depend on to move it to the ports.”

Hog producers in Alberta were nervous the PED (por-cine epidemic diarrhoea) virus getting into their barns earlier this year.

“We have been able to avoid it mostly through good security in our barns. In Alberta, we have done a good job of making sure peo-ple coming on our sites are very low,” Humphrey added. “We thought we survived it in Canada a little while ago, and we have taken bio-security measure to keep it out. We are moving down the right track and we want to keep it far away. It is in Manitoba and Montana, so it is knocking on the door, but we can keep it out with good bio-security.”

The extra snowfall this winter has been a blessing for most farmers. “We are going into the spring with good moisture levels. We went into the fall very dry, so the winter moisture will be welcome. We don’t have a lot of frost right now, so the ground should be recep-tive to any water that is out there,” he said. “This should fill up the sloughs and the ground water should be up and that is good for the cattle industry. We need the dug-

Good agricultural outlook in 2014Continued from page 13

“We have seen more pro-duction and higher prices will do that,” said Humphrey. “In western Canada, we had

bigger crops and people saw the benefit of that with more inputs like fertilizer. China had the biggest use of fertil-izer in their history, so produc-

ers around the world saw the opportunity and stepped up to it. If there are opportunities out there to feed the world, I’m sure we can meet it.”

A Salute to Farmers…Thousands of hardworking farm familieswork diligently every day to bring us the safest, most wholesome and affordable food found anywhere in the world. And

while there are fewer people producing that food, they are more productive while being

more quality, safety and environmentally conscious. It’s done by real people – families

who have deep roots in agriculture and wouldn’t do anything else for a living.

Our farmers work diligently to feed the world. They are also stewards of the land.

We trust them to take responsible careof our land and water so the land will

continue to produce food forever.

As you enjoy your next meal, take time to think about the men and women who

produced your food and what it took to get it to you. Be grateful for those who grow and

raise our abundant and safe food supply.

Thank you to the men and womenof our agriculture industry.

Battle River Community Foundation Director Judy Larson presented a cheque to Clem St. Pierre, mayor of the Town of Sedgewick.

The Battle River Community Foundation has made a grant to the Town of Sedgewick to assist with the refacing the Sedgewick Community Hall.

The grant came from the James and Mabel Quast Fund which was established in to support projects in the Sedge-wick area.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to sup-port projects such as this in East Central Alberta which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of indi-vidual donors and organizations that have created endow-ment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Commu-nity Foundation has granted over $2,250,000 to support local communities undertaking projects like refacing the Sedge-wick Community Hall.
