with over 200 participants of all ages. “This family and community orientated 

event invites people from all walks of life,” stated Executive Director of the 

event Aaryn Lynham, “Colour Me Green may get messy, but that’s what makes 

it an absolute blast!” Colour Me Green will be featured at the 4-H Centennial 

to be held in Olds in August 2017. 

ECA Review/D. Johnston 

Future of airport up in air 

Dena Clark 

ECA Review reporter 

Forestburg council members 

will be seeking direction from 

the public regarding the future 

of their airport at a public 

hearing to be held this October. 

In the wake of an airport condition 

report generated by 

Ground Effect Areodrome 

Consulting Ltd., which was presented 

to council at their last 

regular meeting on Wed., Aug. 

17, approximately $3,980,000 is 

needed in order to ensure the 

airport is in adequate condition 

to remain safely and optimally 

operational. 

CAO Debra Moffatt expressed 

concern over the liability issues 

surrounding the operation of a 

municipal airport. 

Specifically that there is no 

training for municipal staff, who 

in many ways are the persons 

accountable for the facility. 

Although council members 

have been urged to keep the airport 

viable from a small number 

of local residents, with the costs 

and, according to Moffatt’s 

report to council, the

administrative responsibilities 

that are involved with keeping 

the airport operational – it 

seems unlikely. 

The airport is to be kept swept 

(a minimum of once a month), 

the airport runway is to be a top 

priority for snow removal following 

each snowfall.

that must be dealt with to comply 

with the minimum airport 

standards. 

Youth centre to be demolished 

Council has contacted Forestburg 

Transit mix to request a quote on

advertised the disposition of the youth 

centre in their June newsletter, however 

after receiving no expressions of 

interest to purchase the building 

council opted to have the building 

removed.

Revised pool safety plan 

A revised Aquatic Safety Plan for 

the Coronation swimming pool was 

conditionally approved by council, 

subject to a few minor wording 

changes at their last regular meeting. 

According to CAO Sandra Kulyk’s 

report to council, the Aquatic Safety 

Plan includes information, policies 

and procedures specific to the 

Coronation swimming pool to ensure 

the health and safety of the pool 

patrons. 

The plan includes operating and 

maintenance procedures, as well as 

emergency procedures to be followed 

in the event of a number of circumstances 

which could potentially arise. 

CAO report 

CAO Kulyk has completed 

reviewing and indexing all of the town 

bylaws for the purpose of implementing 

a repealing bylaw for all 

outdated, obsolete or replaced bylaws 

on record. 

Kulyk has also been working with

issues at the club house. A contractor

completed on a Victoria Ave. property, 

reported Kulyk, and the town is 

accepting tenders for demolition of the 

house and shed. 

Discussions were had to consider 

accepting demolition materials, furniture 

and large waste items at the 

Coronation Waste Transfer site. 

If the changes are implemented for 

a demolition bin, it will result in additional 

operating costs of $20,000 to 

$30,000. 

A bin for furniture and large refuse 

would be $600 per month ($7200 per 

year) and would need to be sorted and 

loaded by the site manager. 

Kulyk met with Sylvia Adams of 

ATCO Electric who provided council 

administration with a demonstration 

of the GE Evolve LED streetlight that 

is being introduced as the new streetlight 

standard for ATCO. 

Use of these new streetlights is 

scheduled to begin in April 2017. The 

town can opt to implement their use 

sooner by simply signing approval. 

The new LED lights provide a soft 

clear white light. Adams will provide 

some calculations and documentation 

on the potential energy savings to be 

realized with these new lights.

LACOMBE COUNTY 

Roadblock trying to buy land 

Lisa Joy 


Building 15.5 kms of the 

Trans Canada Trail from 

Lacombe to Ponoka County 

border won’t go ahead any 

time soon after Lacombe 

County hit a roadblock 

trying to buy land from 

landowners. 

Lacombe County 

Manager of Operations Phil 

Lodermeir told council at its 

regular meeting Aug. 25, 

that local landowners 

refused to sell the right-ofway 

to make way for the 

trail along the C & E Trail. 

“We really want to get this 

trail built but we’re not 

having success getting landowners 

to sell us land.” 

The county could change 

the original route for the 

trail but it would increase 

the original $909,734 price 

tag to $2.1 million. The 

county received three 

grants totaling $695,000 and 

will lose the grants. 

Coun. Dana Kreil asked if 

the money could be used in 

other areas for trails around 

the county. “If the money is 

available I hate to send it 

back.” 

Lodermeir pointed out, 

however, that if the county 

spends the money they have 

to match the funds. 

“This will free up money 

in tough times,” said Coun. 

Kreil. 

Coun. Brenda Knight said 

she was in favour of cancelling 

the trail project. 

“We are in a bit of a need 

CLEARVIEW SCHOOLS 

Teachers take 

on new roles 

Debra Johnston 


Two Clearview schools 

have new vice principals 

this year and one has a new 

principal Superintendent 

Peter Barron informed the 

Clearview School Board at 

their Aug. 25 meeting. 

Charlee Mappin, begins 

her third year at Big Valley 

School as the new principle. 

Mappin, who grew up in 

Erskine and attended 

school in Stettler, began 

teaching Grades 3 and 4 in 

her first year, then junior 

high language arts in her 

second. Along with principal 

duties, Mappin will 

continue in her junior high 

teaching role in science and 

social studies. 

Gus Wetter teacher Debby 

Hronek will step into the 

role of vice principal this 

school year. 

Hronek has taught mostly 

Grade 5 and 6 at Gus Wetter 

for nearly 21 years, which 

she will continue teaching 

along with her new duties. 

There is lots to learn in 

her new role but according 

to Hronek it’s “So far so 

good.” 

Brittaney Code, who has 

been with William E. Hay 

for about 5 years, takes on 

new duties as vice principal. 

Little change for 

upcoming year 

Clearview School Board 

trustees completed their 

organizational meeting for 

the 2016/17 year by 

acclaiming Cheri Neitz as 

board chair and electing 

Dave Goodwin as vice chair. 

The vote for vice chair 

was split evenly between 

John Schofer and Goodwin. 

A coin toss decided the 

final outcome. 

With the departure of 

Staci Gerlitz from the board, 

the remaining trustees 

divided the extra workload. 

With the exception of a $5 

increase for a full day honorarium 

for trustees and 

$2.50 increase for a half day, 

other rates for things like 

meals were left unchanged.

versus want situation in Alberta. 

Grants cost money and sometimes 

gifts cost you more than what you got 

for the gift. The trail is a wonderful 

amenity. There is always the future.” 

Reeve Paula Law said the entire 

trail didn’t have to be paved and the 

county should proceed. 

“We will lose $700,000 [grant]. I 

struggle with closing the door. 

Nothing says it [trail] has to be paved.” 

Council voted in favour of administration’s 

recommendation to remove 

the trail project from the 2016 construction 

schedule. Reeve Law voted 

against the motion. 

Flagpole for Mirror 

Mirror will get a new flagpole and 

fire departments can request flags as 

well after Lacombe County council 

voted in favour of the expense. 

The Mirror and District Museum 

society asked the county for a new 

flagpole. It will cost the county $2,200. 

Coun. Rod McDermand also put in a 

request to the county for a flag for the 

Alix Fire Department. 

“Flags are important in this world.” 

“You should expect other fire 

departments to follow suit,” said 

County Commissioner Terry Hager, 

adding that if the county approves the 

cost of a flag for the Alix Fire 

Department other fire departments 

will likely put in similar requests. 

Council approved the installation of 

a flagpole for Mirror but they will 

have to provide the ongoing upkeep. 

Council also voted in favour of providing 

one flagpole to each Lacombe 

County fire department if requested 

by the fire department. 

Coun. Ken Wigmore voted against 

the motion.

Visitors to the ninth 

annual Torrington Gun 

Show watched attentively 

as Dan Gordon (seated) 

showcased one of the firearms 

he had for sale. 

Gordon hails from 

Drumheller and has missed 

only one year since the Gun 

Show began because he 

didn’t book his spot in time. 

“[You] gotta book it in 

February to get in,” 

explained Gordon. 

“He does a great job of 

advertising,” Gordon said 

of the show organizer, Stan 

Taylor. According to 

Taylor, 50 vendors had 108 

tables at this year’s show, 

which is just the right 

number to allow lots of 

room for both vendors and 

visitors. 

The show has a great reputation 

among vendors and 

there are always new vendors 

hoping to attend the 

show. 

So much so that Taylor 

surveyed vendors about 

five years ago to see if they 

wanted to allow more vendors 

but 75 per cent 

responded they would 

prefer to leave the show as 

is. 

The show typically draws 

over 1200 visitors over two 

days to the hamlet of about 

180 people. 

 

Our Oilfield . . . Our Future 

Abandoned oil wells are an opportunity 

Dear Editor: 

Folks with abandoned wells on their 

property, or people who work in 

drilling, might be interested to know 

that the Canadian Geothermal Energy 

Association (CanGEA), says that at 

least some of the 77,000 oil wells listed 

as inactive or suspended, and another 

180,000 formally abandoned or 

“orphaned, are suitable for geothermal 

retrofits. 

CanGEA says that all that would be 

required to make a promising preexisting 

well operable for geothermal 

capture would be a deepening of the 

well by as little as 10 or 20 metres 

(since water reservoirs tend to sit just 

below oil and gas pools). 

That’s good news for landowners, 

and also welders, steel fabricators, 

electricians, crane operators and pipefitters. 

Geothermal energy production 

requires very little retraining. 

CanGEA is already hosting workshops 

for rig operators. 

But, in order 

for this to 

happen, stakeholders 

have a lot 

of work to sort 

out the issues and 

share the risk. 

Any company 

that takes on an 

abandoned oil 

well also has to 

deal with remediation 

and 

environmental 

concerns. 

Companies who 

currently own a 

messy well will 

be eager to get rid 

of it, and geothermal 

companies are 

right to be wary. 

We have to create 

the right business 

and regulatory 

environment to 

make this 

happen. 

So there is a lot 

to work out, the 

least of which is 

whether to sell 

the resulting 

power to the grid 

or locate 

industries closer to the geothermal 

hotspots to avoid the ridiculous 

expense of transmission. )Some 

farmers are likely sitting on enough 

hot water to power a value-add

GUEST EDITORIAL 

Drilling increases 

across Alberta under 

new royalty system 

by Margaret McCuaig-Boyd, 

Minister of Energy for Alberta 

As a rural MLA who lives in a small 

northern community I have been surrounded 

by the energy industry my 

whole life. 

I have friends, family and neighbours 

who have worked and benefited 

from this important sector. 

I know these are not easy times for 

the energy sector and communities 

and families are hurting in many 

ways. We cannot control the global 

price for our resources but can control 

our own actions and policies. 

It is with this in mind that we introduced 

new changes to our royalty 

system that would help our oil 

industry prosper. 

Dozens of new oil and gas wells are 

now being drilled across Alberta, creating 

jobs in rural communities and 

regional centres, after our government 

made a decision to open up our new 

royalty system early. 

Since we started reviewing our royalty 

system I have said we would listen 

to industry and there would be no 

surprises. 

We pledged to create a royalty 

system would work for all of us; to 

create the fair returns Albertans want 

while allowing companies to remain 

competitive and to create jobs. 

I believe we have accomplished that 

goal and this summer wells in Alberta 

have started drilling under our new 

modernized royalty framework. 

The first ones began drilling in mid- 

August in Grande Prairie County and 

others are moving towards operation 

in several other parts of the province. 

Our new framework is not scheduled 

to take effect until next year, but when 

industry told us they were willing to 

increase their investments in Alberta 

this year if they could access the new

system — we responded. 

These new wells represent investment 

in our province beyond what was 

originally planned for 2016. 

I was pleased to tour an Encana rig 

on August 17 and meet crew members 

from across Alberta working there. 

Each operating drilling rig can create 

135 direct and in-direct jobs according 

to figures from the Canadian Oilwell 

Drilling Contractors Association. 

I was joined on the tour by a representative 

from the Canadian 

Association of Petroleum Producers 

(CAPP) who said our new royalty 

framework will help industry stay 

competitive. 

“The modernized royalty framework 

is a long-term solution that promotes a 

stable investment environment for continued 

growth in the sector. It is both 

flexible to short term market conditions 

and for long term planning. 

When Alberta’s oil and natural gas 

industry is healthy and can compete – 

that’s good for Alberta’s economy, 

that’s good for government revenues 

and that’s good for Alberta families, 

said Brad Herald, VP Western Canada 

Operations with CAPP. 

Our government will continue to 

advocate for sustainable and environmentally 

responsible energy 

development in our province. 

We are demonstrating to the business 

community and the world beyond 

our borders that Alberta is open for 

energy investment and we are a 

responsible and competitive energy 

supplier. 

With this kind of positive initial 

response to our early opt-in for the new 

framework, I’m confident we will continue 

to see activity in 2017, helping 

bring jobs and opportunities to communities 

across Alberta, big and 

small.

CAO and council are 

simply being unreasonable 

Dear Editor: 

The Morrin Council report was very 

well done. I have had comments from 

residents how you hit the nail on the 

head showing how petty and unreasonable 

the CAO and Council are by 

not providing free copies of the agenda 

and the previous months minutes for 

the residents attending council 

meetings. 

I checked at a retail store and found 

a box of paper is just over $30 for 5000 

sheets making the cost per page .0061 

cents. 

I would think that the CAO likely 

purchases paper at a better rate than 

the retail price I found. 

The CAO and council are simply 

being unreasonable in not taking one 

second to touch the nine button instead 

of the four button on the photocopy 

machine so that we all could receive a 

copy of the agenda and minutes to 

follow along with the meeting. 

The cost to us as residents and ratepayers 

who attended the meeting 

would be nine cents.

By doing this it would provide all 

five people in the gallery at the last 

meeting in July a copy of the agenda 

and the two pages of the previous 

months unapproved minutes. This 

would go a long way in showing us that 

we count and that we matter. 

The CAO and council’s original 

policy that charged $55 for the first 

page and a $1 for every page after that 

has since been rescinded because of a 

backlash from residents. 

Also refusing to allow the recording 

of the minutes so that accurate 

reporting could be done demonstrates 

that council and the CAO for some 

reason don’t want any outside scrutiny 

or interference with council meetings. 

When this council and CAO start to 

realize how petty their actions appear 

to outsiders, perhaps they will begin to 

try and help us be a part of the process 

instead of continually putting up 

unreasonable road blocks for residents 

to participate in the political process.

Morrin, Ab. 

The NDP wants you to pay for its attack ads 

by Paige MacPherson, 

Canadian Taxpayers Federation 

When you walk outside and your 

mailbox is stuffed with glossy, 

annoying, partisan junk mail, you 

know it’s election season. Like most 

Canadians, you probably roll your eyes 

and think: what a waste of paper and 

money. Alberta’s NDP government 

now wants you to be the one to waste 

that money. 

Those nasty, silly attack ads that 

clutter your airwaves? They want you 

to pay for them, too. 

On a sleepy, summer day in the legislature, 

NDP MLA Rod Loyola proposed 

a motion in committee to have taxpayers 

rebate 50 per cent of campaign 

expenses for political parties and candidates 

that receive at least 10 per cent 

of the vote. 

Loyola told Rob Breakenridge on 

Newstalk 770 that caucus supports the 

idea, meaning with the NDP majority, 

it’s more or less a done deal. 

It’s bad policy. Taxpayers shouldn’t 

be forced to pay for partisan 

campaigning. 

It raises an obvious conundrum: by 

reimbursing politicians for 50 per cent 

of the money they spend, we’d be incentivizing 

them to spend more – thereby 

VIEWPOINT 

costing taxpayers more. 

The NDP government has suggested 

a solution: capping party spending. But 

if individuals choose to donate their 

money to a party (not businesses or 

unions, because those donations were 

already banned), with the intention of 

having that party spend it campaigning, 

then why should the 

government interfere? That’s democracy 

in action, and it’s totally 

voluntary. 

Spending caps are an attempted solution 

to a problem created by forcing 

taxpayers to subsidize entrenched 

political parties. Here’s a crazy idea: 

don’t create the problem in the first 

place. 

A subsidy to political parties is a particularly 

jaw-dropping suggestion 

when the province is facing a $14 billion 

deficit and over 100,000 Albertans 

have been laid off. Calgary businesses 

are dropping like flies; Alberta’s unemployment 

rate is now higher than Nova 

Scotia’s; and the province’s credit 

rating has been repeatedly 

downgraded. 

Yet the priority of the government is 

to stuff the coffers of political parties?

• Greg Cote of the 

Miami Herald, 

on what coaches 

around the world 

would say if they 

took their cue from 

Donald Trump: 

“The only way we 

lose this game is 

if the other side 

cheats and the 

system is rigged.” 

• Comedy writer 

Jim Barach on a 

study claiming 

that bronze-medal 

winners have happier 

reactions than 

those winning 

silver: “To which 

Michael Phelps 

says, ‘The Olympics 

have a bronze 

medal?’ ” 

• Greg Cote again: 

“A game-worn 

Stephen Curry 

mouthguard sold 

for $3,190 at an 

auction. Proving 

true the old P.T. 

Barnum adage, 

“There’s a sucker 

with $3,190 born 

every minute.” 

• NBC’s Seth Meyers, 

checking the 

final Olympic tally: 

“The U.S. brought 

home 46 gold 

medals, 37 silver 

and four idiots.” 

• Dwight Perry 

again: “Ryan 

Lochte’s return to 

commercial endorsements? 

Our 

money’s on one of 

those Southwest 

Airlines ‘Want to 

get away?’ ads.” 

• Comedian Argus 

Hamilton, on how 

Olympians’ lives 

are different from 

ours: “Late last 

night, Michael 

Phelps found an 

Olympic gold 

medal in his couch 

cushion.” 

• TC in BC: “The 

U.S. 4 x 100 men’s 

relay team didn’t 

win its appeal. On 

the other hand 

they stopped short 

of saying they 

were robbed in 

Rio.” 

• Another one 

from Cote, on 

Twitter: “Ryan 

Lochte reportedly 

will be featured 

in the upcoming 

season of Dancing 

With the Stars. He 

previously starred 

in Dancing Around 

the Truth.”

Garden Party 2016 

Every year at Paintearth 

Lodge in Castor, they have 

their annual Garden Party. 

This is their time to recognize 

the milestones of years 

of service from dedicated 

staff and marks the end of 

summer when they have to 

say goodbye to their 

summer students and wish 

them well in their future 

endeavors. 

On Fri., Aug. 19 there was 

only one service award to 

present and it was to Marcy 

Renschler with their Board 

Chairman from the County 

of Paintearth, Walter Weber 

and Board Representative 

from the Village of Halkirk, 

Doris Cordel. Marcy started 

at Paintearth Lodge in 

March of 1991 as the Activity 

Coordinator and 25 years 

later she is the current CAO 

of Paintearth Lodge.

Congratulations Marcy! 

This summer the residents 

and staff of Paintearth 

Lodge had the privilege of 

meeting and working with 

two spectacular students. 

Max Schaffner joined the 

recreation department and 

kept everyone entertained 

and busy. Who ever knew 

how much fun making 

drums could be! Max is furthering 

his education at Red 

Deer College. 

Juli Schnell worked in the 

maintenance department 

and helped keep the grounds 

looking good all summer 

long. 

She will continue to work 

at the lodge in the dietary 

department as well as 

attending Gus Wetter School 

to complete Grade 12. Best 

of Luck to both of them in 

their futures!

EAST CENTRAL 

OUTDOORS 

by Bob Chapman 

My favourite time of year is upon us. 

As I write this, we are about a week 

away from the opening of waterfowl 

season. 

I am passionate about many things 

out doors, but goose hunting is definitely 

at the top of the list for me. I 

have been hunting waterfowl for over 

40 years and every year opening 

morning is just as exciting as the first 

one. 

In our part of the province we are 

very lucky to have exceptional waterfowl 

hunting, with a fairly long season 

and liberal limits for waterfowl. 

Whether you are a duck or goose 

hunter, or both there are opportunities 

throughout the east central region. 

Field hunting for goose is what I 

spend most of my time doing in the 

fall. I enjoy all aspects of waterfowling, 

spotting, selecting a spot for the blind 

and setting up all the decoys, flagging, 

calling, and of course eating geese. 

There are many kinds of decoys, 

calls and blinds out there. I have my 

preferences and over the years have 

tried many varieties of all of them. 

I have used bale blinds, hayhouse 

blinds, wingshooter blinds, laydown 

blinds and a few years ago after purchasing 

a trailer, went back to a willow 

blind. 

Our area has many pocket bushes 

and a willow blind is one of the most 

natural blinds for our area. I have 

used them in wheat/barley stubble, 

green feed and pea fields. 

A couple of downsides for me when 

using the older style willow blind was 

securing them and hauling all the 

chairs etc. for hunters to sit on. I 

decided to make a custom willow 

blind, so mine has a built in padded 

bench seat, a tray for coffee/shells/ 

remote, binos etc., and brackets for 

holding shotguns while waiting for 

birds. 

I used the laydown style for a few 

years, but found them uncomfortable, 

with poor visibility for birds 

approaching off to the side or back, 

awkward to shoot out of, and for me 

they did not offer 

a shot at birds 

that happened to 

pass behind the 

blind. The new 

blind remedied 

all of these. The 

blind is six feet 

wide, with lots of 

room for three 

adults, and I have 

also made two 

“extensions” one 

for each side of 

the blind so we 

can easily accommodate 

five 

hunters. 

Before I had the 

trailer, portability 

and room 

were a big consideration 

for me so I

Licensed by Real Estate Council of Alberta 

are Big AL’s. They are light, 

pack easily, have a little 

movement and most important 

they bring in the birds. 

When using silos, I space 

them farther apart than a 

shell or full body, leaving 

about eight to 10 feet 

between decoys and face 

them in all directions 

regardless of wind direction. 

Most goose calls will help 

to bring in birds when blown 

correctly. It can take a bit of 

practice to get that sort of 

“deep goosey” sound out of a 

call. 

Blow your call with air 

from the gut, not the mouth 

and vary sounds with the 

fingers you cup over the end 

of the call. 

To get that deep “cluck” 

sound you hear so often 

from geese say “two whit” 

into the call. Resist the 

temptation to call too much, 

call when the birds are far 

off, flying by or don’t seem 

interested. When the birds 

turn and start heading in, I 

usually stop calling, but 

watch closely and if they

My experience has been 

that wood, delrin and acrylic 

calls have the best sound, 

but more importantly I have 

found them much easier to 

get good sound out of. I now 

use mostly Lynch Mob and 

GK calls, each has a bit of a 

different sound, and I will 

use them all when hunting 

to change things up a bit. 

When setting up for geese 

I always try and pinpoint as 

close as possible to the location 

they were last feeding 

in. Sometimes being close to 

the spot will work but being 

right on the spot is usually 

more successful. 

At first season they will be 

in family groups, with small 

five to eight bird groups set 

up in the same general area, 

but not really all together 

like later in the season. 

Regardless of season try 

and duplicate the best you 

can what you observed 

while spotting.

In the field soil health school 

submitted by Eric Neilson 

The Battle River Research 

Group hosted an “In the Field 

Soil Health School” at Redtail 

Farms (Ian and Dana Griebel), 

three kilometres south of 

Castor on Tues., Aug. 16. 

The teacher for the day was 

Jay Fuhrer, a soil health enthusiast, 

researcher and 

educator from 

Bismarck, North 

Dakota. 

Fuhrer works for 

the US Department of 

Agriculture as a

He also accentuated the need for

Several hand-on soil tests 

were then conducted on soils 

that had been collected from 

various locations on Griebel’s 

farm.

Level the playing field 


Apparently under the dome it’s not 

struggling taxpayers or small businesses 

or families who need a break. 

It’s political parties and politicians 

who need a hand up. 

A similar subsidy exists elsewhere 

in Canada and at the federal level, but 

that doesn’t change that it’s the wrong 

thing to do. 

Political parties already benefit 

from generous tax credits for donations. 

If an Albertan family donates 

$200 to a political party, they get 75 per 

cent back. If they donate $200 to a 

charity, they get only 25 per cent back. 

Mr. Loyola has claimed the party 

bailout would “level the playing field.” 

If anything, this subsidy would 

strangle smaller political parties who 

typically receive less than 10 per cent 

of the vote, giving an unfair upper 

hand to the big guys, using purely 

involuntary money. 

That could be one reason why 

Alberta Party leader Greg Clark 

opposes it. 

Mr. Loyola warned on the radio that 

if we don’t subsidize political parties, 

we’ll get something like – wait for it – 

Donald Trump. 

Are Albertans expected to buy that 

nonsense? 

Campaign donations are already 

capped at $15,000, so it’s not as if some 

billionaire could swoop in and steal an 

election here. 

Perhaps Mr. Loyola is relying on 

buzzwords and scare tactics to avoid 

facing the reality that this policy 

would be a ridiculous waste of taxpayer 

dollars. 

It’s difficult to think of any less 

important use of tax dollars than 

shrill partisan campaign ads. 

Political parties should stand on 

their own merits in the battle of ideas. 

Politicians already have massive 

advantages over charities to help them 

to fundraise, without forcing taxpayers 

to bail them out. 

Decoy shy 


Geese will always land into the wind 

so take this into account when setting 

up your decoys and blind. If there is a 

depression in the field, even a small 

one, try and set your blind (if the wind 

allows) in this depression with the 

decoys on the high ground. If a small 

depression is not in the location I need 

I will often set the blind off to one side 

so the geese are not looking directly at 

the blind, which is usually only 

required later in the season when 

birds can become a bit decoy shy. 

Most all of my setups with the exception 

of early season are set in a sort of 

V or U shape. I do vary this but for the 

most part this setup works well. 

I have used many kinds of shot 

shells over the years and have settled 

on SCORE or KENT 3”-BB’s for all my 

goose hunting. 

When selecting a shotgun you can’t 

go wrong with one of the three, B’s 

Browning, Beretta or Benelli. I currently 

hunt with a Browning Maxus, 

A5 or a Benelli Super Nova. I have no 

affiliation to any of the gun, blind, 

decoy, ammo or call companies I have 

mentioned nor am I suggesting that 

they are necessarily the best out there. 

They have just worked well for me. 

Have a great season and remember to 

take a kid hunting! 

the bales have been removed 

every year tested in the “ideal 

activity” zone with an active 

microbe population and good 

organic matter supply. 

The other three soils from a 

hog yard where a mixture of 

plants had been grazed, a cattle 

bale grazing area and a multispecies 

annual cover 

crop mixture were all in 

the “medium-high 

activity” zone was very 

active biologically with 

very high organic matter 

turn-over. 

In the afternoon, each 

of the sites where soil 

samples had been taken 

were visited by the group 

where additional discussion 

and learning 

occurred. Here, Fuhrer 

outlined his five soil 

health principles: 

1) Keep the soil covered 

– an armor or 

residue on the soil stabilizes 

the soil and protects 

it from erosion and 

drying out. 

2) Minimize soil disturbance 

– tilling has a 

negative effect on soil biological 

activity. 

3) Increase crop diversity 

– include warm and 

cold season grass and 

broadleaf species in your 

mixes. 

4) Keep living roots in the soil 

– this means using winter 

annuals, biennials or perennials 

in cooler, drier climates 

like what we have in east central 

Alberta. 

5) Integrate livestock – rotational 

grazing, bale grazing, 

and swath grazing are all 

practices that improve soil 

health dramatically. 

Fuhrer also added a sixth 

principle that he called “take 

your reward, please”. This 

referred to the rewards from 

increased production
