Sherry Beatty-Henfrey, Returning Officer It's got a Hemi somehow When the PT Cruiser debuted, it was one of those things that was cool right up until it wasn’t, and that transitioned quick. OBITUARY WATSON, Richard John (Bud) November 6, 1929 - April 10, 2023 They looked old but futuristic. They were compact yet still underpowered, even for their size. Remember all the independent custom concept drawings from back in the day? There were convertibles, two-door sedans, sedan delivery vans, pickups, roadster pickups, Camshaft everything. Remember the wood Corner KELLY KIRK kits that you could glue on, then have a reason to strap that surfboard onto the roof? Roth-style drawings of cartoon PT Cruisers with huge monsters driving them were even common. These things were the next hot rod, right up until the moment that they weren’t. They were almost like a Plymouth Prowler if it were made into a van, and although the Prowler was a little underpowered, the PT Cruiser seemed a lot underpowered. I don’t think they sold too badly, and I still see a few on the road today, but very few. Not long ago, I saw one for sale that was on a lifted 4x4 chassis with big mud tires. Had it been local, I would have contemplated cutting it into a lowbuck UTV for summer, like a little Bronco from outer space. Although uncool to the ninety-nine percent, there’s that pesky one percent that can’t leave well enough alone. The kind that does things like stuffing a Hellcat engine into these things and re-introducing the cool factor to them. One percent might be a lofty estimate, as I have seen exactly one Hellcat PT Cruiser to date: a boring, white one. Rolling off the assembly line with somewhere between 136hp and 230hp with a It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Richard John “Bud” Watson on April 10th, 2023 at the age of 93 in Stony Plain, Alberta.

Enter the Hellcat V8. Mopar people like putting big Mopar things into little Mopar things. 80’s Daytonas and Lasers with big engines and rear-drive swaps, 440 Valiants, stuff like that. Sure, GM people put small blocks in S10s and Vegas’ and Chevettes, but if those cars were made by Chrysler, the fan base would have the cutting torch handy and the 440 out of the RV ready to go in. This PT Cruiser is exactly what I think about when I think about a Mopar swap. It’s WAAAAAY out of the realm of your normal street rod swap. Terry and Patsy Beaty from Tennessee knew what they wanted, and they trusted Smokey Mountain Chassis of Georgetown to get the job done. What they ended up with was essentially your typical, although drastically overpowered street rod, with a PT Crusier on top. The front end was swapped out for a Mustang II, and the stock, dead rear axle was swapped out for a 9.25” differential from a Dodge pickup. Coilover shocks handle all the bumps and corners. I have almost no information on the chassis, but I’m assuming a whole chassis was built front-to-back, or at the very least, a stout sub-frame system, as there’s no visible cage inside to stiffen the stock body. Is it cool? Yeah, it’s cool, and although I don’t know what it sounds like, the swap is so clean that I bet nine-out-of-ten people think the Hemi decals on the sides are just a joke. 23043aa1 RM of Last Mountain Valley No. 250 NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF ASSESSMENT ROLL Notice is herby given that the assessment roll for the RM of Last Mountain Valley No. 250 for the year 2023 has been prepared and is open to inspection in the office of the Assessor from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30pm on the following days: Monday to Friday, until May 29, 2023.

lmtimes.ca • Last Mountain Times • Monday, April 24, 2023 7 Next hot thing One reason Canadian Prairie farmers have always managed to survive – at least as a collective – is their willingness to try new things. While there are times the sector is criticized for not taking on new production technologies quickly enough, the barrier is often cost as opposed to a general reluctance to adapt to something new. You can go back to the emergence of zero till seeding as an example. While the benefits might have been realized by research data, producers had press drills already, so there was a big cost associated with the changeover to the new tech. It’s a similar consideration with autonomous machinery. It may well be easy to see the benefits – for example, reducing some pressures on finding trained operators for current equipment – but again, producers have an equipment fleet and replacing it is a big cost. By contrast, a new crop might come along like the hype over lupins dating back to the 1990s. The markets never quite developed, and interest waned rather quickly, but farmers could dedicate some acres to trying the crop with less input than some first-generation machinery which makes a technological step forward. It’s the same on the livestock side, Ag Notes CALVIN DANIELS where through my years – first growing up on a farm and then covering the sector as a journalist for more than three decades – producers have been willing to try a massive range of critters. Through the years, there has been a big interest in ostrich, emu and elk. Bison and fallow deer, red wattle and wild pigs, Boer goats, llamas, alpacas and now yaks. Most of the ‘next hot thing’ fizzled away rather quickly – red wattle hogs and ostrich and fallow deer are some examples. But others matured into at least continuing niche markers led by bison and Boer goats. So what about Yaks? Who knows. A report at www. producer.com noted interest in forming an association which would, of course, promote the animals, so that would be a start, but it ultimately comes down to creating a market and ensuring supply, hurdles that are often too high for new farm products to scale. Yak isn’t exactly a new animal to domestication like bison and elk were. They have been farmed in other countries for years. It’s not likely yak will ever be a major ag sector in Canada, but could they be the next bison – a longstanding niche sector? Time will tell, but it is certain Town of Govan NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF ASSESSMENT ROLL Notice is herby given that the assessment roll for the Town of Govan for the year 2023 has been prepared and is open to inspection in the office of the Assessor from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30pm on the following days: Monday to Friday, until May 29, 2023.
