TSN Kraft Celebration Tour August 21.

Everybody still loves Raymond, it seems — especially
those in the town, who on Aug. 21 benefitted from the
addition of $25,000 towards the new $2.5-million
Victoria Park Sports Field project.
Raymond hosted the 2013 TSN Kraft Celebration
Tour, as well as a live broadcast of the network’s
SportsCentre show with anchors Darren Dutchyshen
and Jennifer Hedger, outside of its town hall Aug. 22.
The town earned the opportunity last month when
its 3,700 residents out-voted those in Vulcan during a
24-hour online matchup.
“I don’t know how you can put a value on how
important and significant this is to our community,”
said Raymond Mayor George Bohne, who estimated
more than 2,000 people were in attendance for the
broadcast.
“It brings the community together in a way that is
different and unique. It’s a great, exciting time for
everyone. It’s a great kickoff for the sports field
complex.”
Raymond will use the money for the Victoria Park
Sports Field, which will include a new 1,500- to 2,000seat football stadium, with FieldTurf, lights and a
services building, as well as three soccer/multi-use
fields. The Town has already committed $1.8 million
and Westwind School Division will provide an
additional $300,000.
Work is set to begin this fall with the anticipation of
a phased-in opening in 2014. Designs for the complex
were on display and Kyle Bullock, the Town’s
communications and finance clerk, said they will soon
have videos on the Town’s YouTube channel.
“This helps the community see the vision of what the
sports field will bring to the town,” said Bullock, who
also led the local organizing committee for the TSN
stop.
“We’ve had amazing support from the town. As you
can see, everybody’s in red out here. I’m happy with

how it’s turned out.”
“It’s an awesome experience for us and we’re
definitely excited about going ahead and providing
amenities to the people in our community,” said
Dustin Ralph, a member of the town’s most famous
family and a town councillor.
“It’s a pretty exciting day for Raymond,” said Jim
Hillyer, MP for the Lethbridge riding and Raymond
resident. “But once the day is over, the money is
what’s going to stay and contribute to that field that
Raymond needs. It’s a very athletic town as everyone
knows and it’s long overdue.”
“They’re very proud of their town, as well they should
be,” Dutchyshen said. “We’re happy to be here and it
translates on TV, too.”
“When you go to different parts of Alberta and
Canada and you talk about Raymond, a lot of times
people associate that with our sporting tradition,”
Ralph said. “We’re definitely proud of that and we hope
that is something we can continue on in the future.”

Fort Macleod
Quinton Crow Shoe named Alto Ambassador
B Y S TEPHANIE L ABBE
F ORT M ACLEOD
Head Smashed-In Buffalo Jump’s (HSIBJ)
marketing and events co-ordinator has been
named the 2013 Alto Ambassador.
Quinton Crow Shoe has been recognized as an
exceptional Albertan. He’s proven to have made
outstanding contributions to Alberta’s tourism
industry. He has been working at HSIBJ for the last
seven years and says he’s grown since beginning
there.
“It is a bit overwhelming. I was in attendance at the
Travel Alberta Industry conference a couple of times
and witnessed the event. The conference banquet
where the award is given hosts around 800 people.
I am already nervous,” says Crow Shoe, in an email
interview, about how it feels to be named the Alto
Ambassador.
“The Alto Ambassador award is a very prestigious
award in my view. Folks within the tourism industry
are already aware of the award and I am receiving
many congratulatory emails and phone calls from
folks across Canada. I guess now I am obligated to act
like an ambassador.”
Not only is Crow Shoe grateful for the award for
himself, but he’s excited for the attention HSIBJ
will receive as well. He’s hoping to see some new
visitors to the jump because of it.
“Also me being First Nation, it is my hope that this
will also raise the profile of Aboriginal Tourism across
our nation, especially Alberta,” says Crow Shoe.
Growing up with hard-working parents taught

Raymond
Raymond set to use grant funding to help preserve history
B Y S TEPHANIE L ABBE
R AYMOND
Preserving the heritage of historic resources is an
important aspect in the Town of Raymond. This year
the community has received an $11,235 matching
grant from the Municipal Heritage Partnership
Program (MHPP).
The MHPP helps municipalities develop and identify
strategies to conserve the historic resources of Alberta.
It not only provides funding to communities, but also
resources and expertise to help them establish and
maintain local heritage conservation programs.
In November 2011, the Raymond town council was
wanting to create a committee to try and identify
historic sites in town and preserve them. A historic
resource inventory committee made up of six members
was created.
As the committee looked into how to do the inventory
ing
introduc
and actually preserve the sites, they realized it would
be much more difficult than expected. They contacted
the MHPP in Edmonton to get some insight on how to
designate a historical site.
Part of the process is to have a historical context
paper, which goes through the historical themes of the
town and identifies what makes the town unique and
what are the town’s specific themes.
“The whole paper would go into a little bit of the
history of the town, identifying ways that a historic
site can be selected,” says Kyle Bullock, the Town of
Raymond communications and finance clerk.
Bullock says they aren’t completely sure how it all
works and therefore they are looking to hire an
outside consultant to create the paper. The grant
funding provided by the MHPP will be used to pay the
consultant to create the paper.
“We applied for the grant to hire a consultant,” says
Bullock, adding the Town will match the grant dollar
for dollar that was received by the MHPP.
In total, it will cost more than $22,000 to hire a
consultant to write the context papers. Once it is
written, the committee will look to establish historic
sites and themes in Raymond.

“It’s kind of a process,” addss Bullock.
The Town put out requests for proposals for some
consultant companies with an application deadline of
mid-August. Town officials will select their consultant
and get the ball rolling on setting up meetings with the
consultant and having them do some research.
Once the paper is finished, it will be a standing
document for the next number of years until the Town
wants to update it. It will be what the Town uses in
determining what is important to residents.
The historical sites will have to fit criteria listed in
the context paper to ensure they are meeting the
themes of the Town of Raymond.
“One thing (it will do is), it’ll help the process to
actually preserve historical sites and heritage sites in
town, like for example the community centre, that
used to be a church and the church transferred it to
the town and now it’s been designated as a provincial
historical site,” explains Bullock.
“It’ll be a big help just to ... budget-wise to be able
to do a project like this, so I don’t think without the
grant dollars we’d be able to hire a consultant, but
with those, it will help with those costs.”
The Town has also received $14,720 from the Alberta
Historical Resources Foundations (AHRF) Heritage
Preservation Partnership Program for the community
centre (former Latter Day Saints Park Avenue Chapel)
to do renovations on the building.

Lundbreck kayakers compete internationally
B Y S TEPHANIE L ABBE
L UNDBRECK
At the age of 17, two Pinch-O-Crow
Creekers Kayak club members, travelled
to Slovakia to represent Canada in the
Junior and U23 Canoe Slalom World
Championships July 17.
Veronica Oczkowski and Ryley Penner
took part in the Championships and
Oczkowski says they had an experience
of a lifetime.
“It was a really different experience
compared to the competitions that I
have competed in. There were around
500 other competitors — so much more
competition than here in Alberta and
even at our national level,” says
Oczkowski about her experience,
in an email interview.
The experience was one to remember
for the two small-town 17-year-olds.
Oczkowski says it was fun.
“Everything went well. I was very
nervous when I was waiting to go and
then even more when I was in the start
gate waiting for the clock to count me
down. It was amazing seeing all the top
athletes across the globe competing for
the chance to make it to semi-finals and
then to finals for a chance to be world
champion,” says Oczkowski.
Oczkowski finished in the
championships as she expected to, she
had a solid run, but ended up finishing
in the bottom half of the competition.
“I was very pleased with my
performance as I executed each run
as I wanted to. It was a good result
for only having trained for a couple
months compared to the other
competitors who train year round.”
Both Oczkowski and Penner had
attended National Team Trails in
Minden, Ontario in the third week of
May. They had to compete in four races
to gain a Top 3 ranking in their classes

her competitions this year.
to qualify for the championship team.
The water levels were double what
they usually were while the two were
competing for their spots on the
championship team.
“Usually, you have to make a certain
percentage of the top race time based on
your category (U23 or Jr.), but with the
water conditions they took the top three
boats in each class. Water level for races
are usually around 20 m3/s (metre
cubed per second), but with heavy rain
prior to the race day, the levels rose to
40 m3/s, which in turn created a large,
fast and more difficult river flow. Despite
these challenging conditions, Ryley and
I both finished as the top position in our
classes,” explains Oczkowski.
Having just nearly missed out on
making the championship team last
year, Oczkowski says she felt relieved
and excited to make it this year.
“It felt good that all my hard work and
training prior to these selections paid
off.”
Oczkowski has been part of the
Pinch-O-Crow Creekers for about six
years with Penner joining about three
seasons ago.
The diversity in kayaking and canoeing
is a fun thrill for Oczkowski. She loves
being able to have fun doing a sport
that’s out of the norm for most people.
Having a general interest in kayaking
from her early years, Oczkowski soon
had an interest in slalom kayaking after
being exposed to it by her coach.
“It’s a lot different than other sports.
It’s very challenging both physically and
mentally. Every river is different and
provides us with a new way of creating a
slalom course every time we paddle,”
says Oczkowski.
Both Oczkowski and Penner left for
Slovakia at the end of June and just
returned home from their trip the
second last week of July. Having been
on an exchange trip in Junior High to
Japan and twice to Mexico and once to
Belize for vacations, Oczkowski was
excited to travel to a new place.
“It was an amazing experience and I
would have a hard time turning down
another opportunity to travel and
experience different countries and their
slalom paddling.”
Being selected to take part in the
Championships, each member received
a little bit of funding from Canoe and
Kayak Canada to subsidize their
accommodations. The rest of the trip
expenses were paid by the participants.
“We helped lower the cost by doing a
steak fundraiser supported by Back
Country Butchering in Cowley. I also
had a little extra help as I won the Spirit
of Sport Award. This award was decided
by the award founders based on criteria
of dedication and perseverance in
kayaking. It was given out to one junior
competitor from all across Canada
that is participating in Junior World
Championships,” explains Oczkowski.
“Just overall, it was an amazing
experience getting to train on a
European artificial course for three
weeks and then being able to compete
with the best in the world and watch
them compete for the top spots.”
Fort Macleod
Fort Macleod a filming location for sci-fi movie
B Y S TEPHANIE L ABBE
F ORT M ACLEOD
The town of Fort Macleod was
startstruck Aug. 29 with filming of
a science-fiction movie directed by
Christopher Nolan.
Interstellar stars Anne Hathaway and
Matthew McConaughey. A casting call
was held earlier this summer for extras
for the movie.
David Connauton, the Town’s
municipal manager, says residents are
always excited about filmmakers using
their town for parts of their movies.
The shooting took place on Main
Street.
Some adjusting was done to Main
Street for the filming. The particular
scene that was shot was of two people
in a vehicle driving down the street
between Second and Fourth Avenue.
Main street was closed to traffic for
six to seven hours that day. None of
the businesses were entered during
the filming and as Connauton
understood, the businesses were open
as usual with people having access to
each business by a rear access.
“It seems to be a place, because of
our historic downtown, other than a
little bit of name recognition here or
there I’m not sure what all of the
benefits would be,” says Connauton.
“It doesn’t hurt to have your name out
there and the industry seems to know
it.”
Connauton says the reason the film
crew chose Fort Macleod and its Main
Street for filming is, because of the
historic look of it. It works perfect for
the scene the film is trying to portray.
Some signage changes were required
for the filming along with special
effects that were cleaned up following
filming. The crew created a dusty
storm blowing through the street using
a paper-based product to create the
dust.
“It’s become something that we …
think it’s a benefit to have. It doesn’t
hurt us and it gives us a bit of
recognition and we think it’s actually
a wonderful thing,” says Connauton.
Town officials were approached
about a month ago in regards to the
filming taking place. Earlier in the
year, Connauton says someone else on
the crew had contacted him looking for
a different scene where there was corn
growing that they could see hills and
mountains. However, there wasn’t any
corn growing in the community, so
Connauton sent that person on to
speak with the M.D.
The Town doesn’t receive any money
to have the filming take place in the
community. They allow it for publicity
purposes. If the town has to have
employees on Main Street for the
shoot, then the film company would
cover the costs of paying for them to
be there.

Border highlights for southern Alberta for July
B Y C ANADA B ORDER S ERVICES A GENCY
C OUTTS
July was a busy month for the Canada Border Services
Agency across southern Alberta.
At Coutts, there were more than 67,000 travellers in
26,000 vehicles and 12,248 commercial trucks. CBSA
officers issued 346 work permits, granted permanent
residency status to 295 people, and issued eight study
permits. They also denied entry to 128 foreign nationals
for various reasons, including criminality.
At Carway, there were more than 35,000 travellers and
13,000 vehicles in July. CBSA officers issued 74 work
permits, granted permanent residency status to 257
people, and issued five study permits.
They also denied entry to 62 foreign nationals for
various reasons, including criminality.
During July, officers also worked hard to expedite the
processing of work permits for people providing
specialized service to flood damaged communities in
southern Alberta.
There were seven cases where vehicles and repairs/
modifications were either not declared or undervalued.
These cases resulted in almost $30,000 in penalties
against the travellers, all of which would have been
avoided if travellers had been truthful.
Coutts
On July 1, a 49-year-old man from the United States
told officers he had never been refused entry before and
denied having any criminal convictions. Officers
conducted routine background checks and determined
the man had been convicted of larceny/theft and absence
without leave, making him inadmissible to Canada. The
man claimed these were connected to another individual
who shared his name. Officers counseled him on how to
complete a fingerprint check to prove his identity and
how to apply for criminal rehabilitation. He was refused
entry and returned to the United States.
On July 1, a 64-year-old Alberta man declared a 2008
pickup truck at US$21,500. However, officers determined
the man failed to declare a 1969 hatchback he had
included as a trade to the seller, with a value of
US$2,500. Because he was untruthful about the
purchase, he was issued a penalty of almost $1,500. Had
the man made an accurate declaration, he would have
paid approximately $125 in GST.
On July 2, a 55-year-old Alberta man was importing a
2010 motorcycle for US$7,250. Officers processed his
paperwork, but were suspicious about the price listed on
his wire transfer. During questioning, the man admitted
he had mailed an additional US$7,750 in certified
cheques to the seller, for a total price of US$15,000. He
was issued a penalty of almost $2,050. Had the man
declared the actual price, he would have paid less than
$800 in GST.
On July 10, a 43-year-old woman from the United
States was towing a trailer with a
15-passenger van. She explained she was only delivering
goods and then planned to visit locations in Alberta.
During secondary examination, officers found
documentation indicating she had been hired to work in
Canada. She eventually admitted to this, and was
counseled on the requirement to obtain a work permit
and Labour Market Opinion. The woman was refused
entry and returned to the United States.
On July 11, a 59-year-old California man was travelling
to Alaska, and produced an expired identification
document. Officers began a secondary examination of his
pickup truck, and found what appeared to be a box of
chocolates with suspected marijuana inside. The man
was arrested, and officers later found three suspected
marijuana hand-rolled cigarettes. The total amount of
marijuana seized was 12 grams, and the man was
arrested, issued a $200 penalty and transferred to RCMP
custody.
On July 11, a 27-year-old man residing in Alberta
declared US$2,000 in motorcycle goods. He said they had
been purchased at a swap meet, but did not present a
receipt. Officers observed a Canadian-registered
motorcycle in the back of the man’s truck, which he
claimed had been left in the United States previously for
warranty work, but had not been altered in any way.
However, officers determined the motorcycle had
undergone almost $36,000 in modifications. The man
was issued a penalty of almost $9,000 and continued
into Canada. Had he been truthful, he would have paid
less than $1,800 in GST.
On July 16, a 54-year-old Alberta man declared a 1969
classic car at approximately $20,800 and a cargo trailer
at approximately $6,250. During secondary examination,
officers determined the actual value of the vehicle was
approximately $27,000, and the actual value of the
trailer was almost $7,800. The man was issued a penalty
of more than $3,100. Had he been truthful, he would
have paid less than $1,750 in GST.
On July 17, a 54-year-old Alberta man declared a 1964
sports car at US$26,000, in addition to a car trailer and
other goods. The man presented a bill of sale for the car
and an invoice, but gave conflicting information about
the method of payment. Officers conducted research and
determined the car had actually been purchased for
US$36,000, and the man eventually admitted to
undervaluing it to save on taxes. He was issued a penalty
of almost $5,750 and continued into Canada. Had he
been truthful, he would have paid less than $1,900 in
GST on the car.
On July 18, a 25-year-old Canadian resident arrived at
the port in a Canadian-registered pickup truck. He
presented an invoice for approximately US$13,400 in
vehicle modifications. Officers examined the vehicle and
found hidden receipts showing US$46,000 in
modifications to the truck. The man was issued a penalty
of nearly $8,150. Has he been truthful, he would have
paid approximately $2,300 in GST.
On July 24, a 50-year-old Alberta commercial driver
declared US$75 in purchases. Officers searched the
man’s laptop, digital camera, and mobile devices and
seized suspected child pornography. The man was
arrested and transferred to the custody of the RCMP and
the Alberta Integrated Child Exploitation Unit.
Carway
On July 5, a 45-year-old man from the United States
denied arrests and previous refusals to enter Canada.
However, officers uncovered he had been refused twice
and had a conviction for burglary. He was refused entry
and returned to the United States.
On July 15, during a secondary examination, officers
seized an undeclared can of pepper spray in a travel
container from a 31-year–old Montana man. He was
issued a $500 penalty and allowed to proceed into
Canada.
On July 26, a 55-year-old man residing in California
arrived at the port. Officers found he had previously
been denied entry into Canada for approximately eight
DUIs. Officers provided counsel on applying for criminal
rehabilitation through a local consulate. The man was
refused entry and returned to the United States.
On July 26, a 30-year-old United States man was
refused entry after background checks revealed he had
convictions for manslaughter and was convicted of a
probation violation.
In addition, he had criminal mischief and assault
convictions. The man was refused entry and returned to
the United States.
On July 30, a 47-year-old man from Alberta declared a
handgun he had brought into the United States for a
shooting competition. During secondary examination,
officers also found parts and ammunition for a prohibited
semi-automatic assault rifle wrapped up in clothing. In
addition to being issued a penalty of more than $50, the
man was arrested and later released. All items were
seized, and the investigation is ongoing.
Reminder to summer travellers:
In order to minimize wait times at the border, consider
crossing at non-peak times before the afternoon rush
begins. Stay updated on wait times at major ports
including North Portal by visiting http://www.cbsaasfc.gc.ca/bwt-taf/menu-eng.html or by subscribing to
Border Wait Times on Twitter.
When returning to Canada, have all receipts ready and
be prepared to make an accurate declaration. The single
best thing to do to save time returning to Canada is to
simply be open and honest with the CBSA officer.
Anyone who is not sure about what to declare,
shouldn’t hesitate to ask. The officers are there to help.
Also, be aware of personal exemptions. The 24-hour
exemption is now $200, with full details available on the
CBSA website. There is a Duty and Taxes Estimator on
the CBSA mobile site.
Anyone with information about suspicious cross-border
activity, can contact the CBSA Border Watch Toll-Free Line
at 1-888-502-9060. For information on the CBSA, phone

Fort Macleod
Grant funding will help restore Fort Macleod historic ambulance
B Y S TEPHANIE L ABBE
F ORT M ACLEOD
Bringing a historical piece out of storage is an
important project the Fort Macleod Fort Museum
is working on for the next year and a half.
Museum officials recently received an $8,000 grant
from the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation to
help them restore the Macleod municipal hospital
ambulance.
The total cost of the restoration of the ambulance is
currently estimated to be $19,194 and will be done by
George Kelly of 2K Carriage Works in Blackie.
“It’s an important part of the community’s history
and heritage. It’s the only one of its kind in Alberta
and the only horse-drawn ambulance still in existence
in Alberta,” says Miranda Grol, the Fort Museum
collections manager.
“It’s a very unique nature to the ambulance and
possibly the only one that has such a unique design
in all of Canada.”
Grol is excited to have the ambulance on display in
the museum. She thinks it will be a large benefit to
the museum and draw people to the area.
“I think it will be a draw to the museum and it will
help teach the community and teach all of the tourists
that come to the area about our history,” adds Grol.
The restoration work that needs to be done on the
ambulance is a new canvas roof and replacement of
the wood on the sides as it is splitting. There may also
be rotting in some of the wood, but it has been painted
over and therefore they will have to take the paint off
to take a look. They want to fix all of the cracks in the
wood to ensure there won’t be any future rotting of
the wood.
The ambulance still has its original structure as well
as original medicine chest, stretcher, the place where
the doctor and/or attendant would sit and bell.
The ambulance has been part of the museum since
the museum opened. However, Grol says they don’t
exactly know where it came from. They know it is local
either coming from part of the barracks site or it first
came from the hospital.
Grol says it may take about a year or more to restore
the ambulance and have it ready for display.
“It depends on the extent of what’s all necessary,
because we don’t know yet until that paint is taken
off.”
The $8,000 grant will help pay for about half of the
restoration. Grol says they need to match that grant
and are currently applying for other grants to try and
match the $8,000.
As well, Grol says they are asking for donations to
the museum from the public to help match the grant.
Since last January, it has been one of Grol’s projects

Talented Alberta artists are
slated to take over the Empress
Theatre stage during the tail-end
of summer 2013.
Tim Hus and His Travelin’
Band open the 2013/2014
Centre Stage Concert Series on
Sept. 20-21, at 7:30 p.m. with
new music as fresh as a spring
daisy. Single tickets for these two
performances are currently on
sale.
Tim Hus, whose original
music has been aptly dubbed
“Canadiana Cowboy Music,” is a
Canadian country/folk singer
and songwriter based out of
Calgary, originally from Nelson,
B.C.
His music has taken him coast
to coast and beyond, performing
at 200 plus shows a year with
his band.
Bull fiddler Riley Tubbs and
lead guitar and fiddle player Billy
MacInnis will perform alongside
Hus at the Empress shows.
His fresh, foot stompin, twosteppin’ style music tells of the
Tim Hus will launch
tales of the Wild Western culture
and help kick off the
we know today and the rough
and tough characters who’ve
created it. From gunslingers, rumrunners, farmers and
oil riggers to ranchers, loggers and gamblers, this artist
sings about it all in a uniquely Canadian and Tim Hus
way.
Hus is set to release his sixth and latest album titled
Western Star with Stony Plains Records/Warner Music
Sept. 10.
The album is produced by Grammy-winning Harry
Stinson of Marty Stuart’s Fabulous Superlatives.
The Empress Theatre presents Hus as part of his CD
release tour. All 12 songs, with titles including Halifax
Blues, Wild Rose Waltz and Gravel Pit Song on this
impelling new album were written and composed by
the artist himself.
Once again, the artist who is said to have “a song list
as long as a Saskatchewan Fence Line” puts all his
energy and star quality talent into songs about this
great nation.
The CD cover photo features Hus at the Empress
Theatre making it a must-have album of the year for
Fort Macleod and southern Alberta residents.
Hus is such a Canadian, so notably he caught the
attention of the late and probably the most notable
Canadian country/folk singer/songwriter Stompin’
Tom Connors.
Hus and His Travelin’ Band were the last to tour with
Connors during extensive tour dates in 2009-2010.
Connors made his appreciation for Hus’s song writing
well-known during their time together and expressed

September 16 is the deadline for
nominations for the Stars of Alberta
Volunteer Awards and Albertans still have
time to submit the names of outstanding
volunteers in their community.
Six awards will be handed out: two in
each category of youth, adult and senior
at the Stars of Alberta Volunteer Awards
gala ceremony on International Volunteer
Day, Dec. 5. Since the program began in
2000, 83 Alberta volunteers have been
recognized with this honour.
“Volunteers are the backbone of Alberta
communities, helping to deliver the
programs and services that matter to
Albertans,” said Culture Minister Heather
Klimchuk. “Nominating a local hero for a
Stars of Alberta Volunteer Award is a
special way of saying ‘thank you’ to the
dedicated young person or veteran
volunteer who are giving so much in
building our communities and our
province.”
The Stars of Alberta Volunteer Awards
Program is an integral part of the
Government of Alberta’s commitment to
Alberta's voluntary sector. Volunteer
recognition programs help set a standard
for service, encourage a sustained
commitment to civic participation and
inspire others to make volunteering a
central part of their lives.

things and hopefully an understanding that ‘it’s not us

The co-operative effort will also see a formal incident
reporting process introduced to help identify high-risk
areas and practices, as well as streamline the procedure
to involve enforcement officials when necessary.
Students also have a responsibility in ensuring
each bus trip is a safe one and the Think of Us on
the Bus campaign includes special assemblies at
each elementary school in Westwind School Division.
Early this school year bus etiquette will be discussed
and every student will be put through a mock bus

Every school year is filled with lessons that will serve
students well for the rest of their lives.
This year, Westwind School Division is joining several
partners to deliver a message to the entire community
that can save lives.
The goal of the multi-pronged, public awareness
campaign – ‘Think of Us on the Bus’ – is to personalize
the issue of bus safety. While Westwind’s Transportation
Department has an impressive safety record, with some
1,200 students being bused a total of 3,500 kilometres
every day, their well-being can’t be emphasized enough.
Instead of looking at a school bus as nothing more
than an inanimate chunk of yellow and black steel —
and an obstacle motorists need to find a way to
maneuver around — Westwind wants to put a ‘face’ on
the bus operator and the precious cargo he transports.
A multi-faceted advertisement blitz over the next three
weeks Westwind will explain the reasons rules exist by
introducing a bus operator and several young students
who take the bus to school each day.
“If you thought that you personally knew someone on
that bus — it could be your child’s hockey coach driving
that particular route, or perhaps one of the passengers
is your neighbor’s daughter — it’s unlikely you’d
knowingly put their lives in danger,” says Bronc Pilling,
Westwind School Division’s transportation supervisor.
“It might make you think twice and decide if gambling
with their lives is worth it.”
The concept is based on a successful campaign first
launched by Palliser Regional Schools last year.
Westwind will join Palliser in running promotions
simultaneously this year so the potentially life-saving
message will be amplified across southern Alberta.
Westwind School Division and its partners in the
Committee for Bus Safety — the provincial Office of
Traffic Safety, Alberta Sheriffs, RCMP, South Zone
Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, Safety City Society of
Lethbridge, AMA School Patrol, the Town of Cardston
and County of Cardston, and Brain Injury Relearning
Services — were able to access money through the
Alberta Traffic Safety Fund to cover the cost of the
public service announcement campaign.
Think of Us on the Bus also takes into account that
bus safety is everyone’s responsibility, including bus
operators. Commercial Vehicle Enforcement and
Sherriff’s department representative sat down with bus
operators from across Westwind School Division prior
to the school year to offer their insights into bus
inspections and other safety issues like distracted
driving.
“The safety of our students has always been our bus
operator’s top priority,” says Pilling, noting mandatory
safety courses for new operators, annual ‘refresher’
meetings with all operators and regular and thorough
mechanical inspections of buses. “But that face-to-face
meeting provided them with a fresh perspective on

Crops look good heading into the fall harvest
B Y R YAN D AHLMAN
S OUTHERN A LBERTA
While it’s not over yet, it’s looking like there will be
a lot of pleased farmers with an excellent harvest in
southern Alberta this year, according to Alberta
Agriculture crop experts.
Lukas Matejovsky, an Alberta Agriculture crop
statistician in Edmonton, indicated that for the most
part, it is good news for grain crops right across
southern Alberta.
“As for harvest, it’s in the high eighties, perhaps
88-90 per cent done and they are in excellent
condition,” said Matejovsky. He added crops from
grains to dry peas are all looking good. “When we look
at the sub-moisture conditions recently, with earlier
rains and the current warm weather and humidity, it’s
been finishing off the crops nicely. That’s important
this time of year. Harvesting is most advanced in the
south. A look throughout the season and while it’s
been a little drier in the south than in the north — it’s
still looking pretty good there. The south region is still
above the 10-year average.”
Matejovsky said harvest was a little delayed in the
north, the west and in extreme southwest where there
had been more rain.
The southwest corner had shared some of the
highest levels of moisture in all of Alberta, along with
an area in central Alberta west and northwest of
Edmonton. For example, in the northern part the
M.D. of Ranchland’s spring wheat fields, there was
still 140-160 mm of moisture as available water for
plants in grain fields (to a depth of 120 cm).
According to the latest Alberta Agriculture stats
(as of Aug. 20), as one travels into the M.D. of Willow
Creek and south and southwest to the M.D. of Pincher
Creek and Cardston County respectively, this level of
moisture decreases to 120-140 mm in the southern
part of the M.D. of Ranchlands and then all the way to
10-20 mm of moisture in the eastern portion of the
M.D. of Willow Creek.
The County of Lethbridge and the M.D. of Taber are
the driest with zero to 10 mm of moisture left for crops.
Matejovsky said overall, the reports indicate spring
wheat and canola crops are looking excellent.
There also seems to be a good handle on the
situation with pests and disease control in southern
Alberta.
Harry Brook, a crop specialist in Stettler said it was
the “same old, same old” in regards to non-weather
related problems this year — not too much unusual
and he indicated overall it “had been a good year.”
As long as crop producers did their jobs and checked
forecasts, checked with specialists, had luck with the
weather and “not relied on what their neighbours were
doing that day”, crop pests and disease could, in many
cases, be properly handled.
“Nowadays, a lot of the bigger producers have hired
agronomists who do it for them, but for a larger
segment of the farming community who don’t do that,
too often (chemical) applications are becoming kneejerk reactions,” explained Brook. “To make the right
decisions, it’s like I always say, you need to go stomp
around in your field for a while.”
Brook said there are some diseases which may be
more prevalent than other years. Farmers need to be
aware what the forecasts are going to be year-to-year.
“Say for stripe rust and leaf rust, if you start
spraying and get started too late, it will reduce your
yields,” added Brook.
The Stettler crop specialist said one unusual
problem this year was a bacterial wilt of corn leaves
called Goss’s Wilt. Brook said it “reduces the synthetic
ability” of the leaves to handle sunlight. The leaves
turn from green to brown and have an almost shiny
appearance to them.
Brook noted fungicides are useless because it’s
caused by bacteria. The only way to avoid the problem
is to use corn varieties which are resistant and to use
proper crop rotations.
The major reason Goss’s wilt has shown up this year
in southern Alberta where it’s usually not a major
issue is because of the heavy moisture, high winds or
even hail damage early in the growing season.
Brook also believed the disease has shown its ugly
head more in southern Alberta because crops such as
corn and soybeans are being planted a lot more
Area farm families honoured with
Century Farm and Ranch awards
B Y C AROLINE Z ENTNER
S OUTHERN A LBERTA
Agriculture is still Alberta’s biggest
renewable industry and that’s thanks to
people like Wanda and David Erickson and
Meryl and Dinah Cook.
The Ericksons, who farm east of Milk
River, and the Cooks, who operate the Lone
Bar Ranch south of Cardston, were among
10 farmers to receive a Century Farm and
Ranch award from Lt.-Gov. Donald Ethell
as part of Whoop-Up Days. The award is
given to Albertans who have farmed the
same land for 100 years or more.
When asked his reaction to getting the
Century award David said, “It’s great.
Having a place in the same hands is quite
an accomplishment I think. I just wish my
dad was around to see the award and
what’s going on on the farm right now.”
His grandfather, Peter, left Wisconsin to
make a homestead on the land in 1908,
probably lured by the offer of free land.
“My grandfather actually died fairly
young. My dad was 10 or 12 when he took
over the farm with his brother and then I
took it over from him,” he said, adding he
didn’t think twice about taking over the
farm. “It’s the best life. I love farming,
you’re outdoors all the time, you’re your
own boss, your mistakes are your
mistakes.”
The Ericksons grow grain now after
downsizing their mixed farm a few years
ago. He and Wanda raised three daughters
and a son on the farm.
“It’s just a peaceful place to be and raise
your kids. They really couldn’t get into a lot
of trouble and if they did you could always
find lots of chores for them to do to work
some of that spunk out of them,” Wanda
said.
Closer to the Montana border, Meryl and
Dinah Cook took over the family ranch in
the early 1970s.
“We started out running sheep and then
we got into the polled herefords. Now the
boys are into red Angus,” Meryl said.
He and Dinah raised three boys who
have pursued interests off the farm, but
who still keep one cowboy boot on the
ranch.
“They still run cattle, but I’m taking care
of them,” he said.
In all his years of ranching, Meryl has
pretty much seen it all. Last year, he
spotted five grizzlies in the yard.
“That kind of gets your interest going,
but we couldn’t do nothing about that,
we had to let them go,” he said.
The Century award is a way to honour
the pioneers who settled the land, Dinah
said.
“It’s an important thing I think for
families to be able to carry on in the
farming and ranching community and
hand it down from family to family to
family,” she said.
Dinah, who is from Raymond, married
Meryl in 1970 and moved out to the ranch
two years later. She found she easily
adjusted to the lifestyle.
“I always wanted to marry a cowboy,”
she said.
Also honoured with Century awards
were Roy Fjordbotten of Granum, Marcus
and Merelyn Harty of Milk River, Robert
George Karl of Foremost, Theo and Regina
Krooshoop of Bow Island, Norman and
Ruby Jean Marose of Taber, James
and Terry Newton of Del Bonita, Lloyd
Vornbrock of Milk River and Lee Ward from
2 Bar Ranches in Arrowwood. This year,
82 families were recognized with a bronze
plaque. Since the awards began in 1993,
1,440 families have been honoured.

extensively due to the fact they are currently getting
some high rate of returns.
“It’s all in the quest for profitability,” added Brook.
He compared some decent grain crops which are
getting for 40 to 60 bushels per acres compared to 180
to 190 bushels per acres for corn. Unfortunately if
crops such as corn are not properly rotated, there is
more likelihood for these diseases or the appearance
of different bugs not seen in the south too often.
Brook indicated crop rotation is critical with corn,
soybeans, field peas or canola which needs a lot of
nitrogen and phosphorous.
Other than the Goss’s wilt, the same pest and crop
diseases made their usual appearances in southern
Alberta.
“South of Highway 1 if you got your crops in early,
there’s always the problem of the cabbage seedpod
weevil in canola and mustard. For peas, the pea leaf
weevil is always prevalent in southern Alberta and if
farmers didn’t take proper precautions they could
have issues.”
One omnivorous forager Brook said was rearing its
ugly head was the cereal leaf beetle which his
department is seeing more of in southern Alberta.
“It’s an interesting predator. It’s a rare problem in
southern Alberta in that it’s not a fungus or disease,
it’s an actual pest. It’s a disgusting beast. Its larvae is
covered in a sac of feces ad then it comes out as a
slug.”
Brook said it attacks wheat and barley and farmers
will have to spray for that.
One crop disease which was predicted to be on the
rise in southern Alberta was wheat midge. Heavy
wheat midge outbreaks were especially predicted in
the Stavely, Claresholm and Nanton regions.
Brook said while this did occur, it was not as wide
spread as first thought.
“Wheat midge is hit or miss,” said Brook who added
farmers who did the proper application of chemicals
for it were fine.
Brook said the problem with wheat midge is, there is
a fairly narrow window of chemical application and if
it is not timed properly there are issues.
