Messiah on the

FrigidaireAn exceptionally strong cast of local actors

from the Kelsey Drama Club is doing what they do best – making people laugh themselves silly! Messiah on the Frigidaire,

by John Culbertson, produced with the permission of Samuel French Inc . and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, is the play being presented at the

22nd annual production of the Kelsey Dinner Theatre.The small town of Elroy, South Carolina is thrust into the evangelical spotlight, when what seems to be the image of Jesus appears on a refrigerator in a trailer park . The discovery sets into motion a frenzy of conflict, communion and good old-fashioned commerce . When The National Investigator

turns the appearance into front page headlines, their trailer park becomes a mecca for miracle seekers, soul searchers and disciples with a decidedly political agenda .

As usual, demand for tickets to the Kelsey Dinner Theatre has been very strong . For current availability call 780 .375 .2418 .

Bob Harley, The Robcan GroupThe Intergenerational Challenge to Family Farms

“Differences are not Diffi culties”Harley has been with the Robcan Group for 17 years and is a recognized trainer, researcher and curriculum developer. Harley farms as well, near Swift Current, SK. His presentation style is informative, interactive and contains a lot of humour.

Today’s world is different. This can present your farm with a challenge or a chore – the choice is yours. What can we do to encourage intergenerational understanding? Have we joined the “I” generation? Are we isolated, insulated, independent, individualized and sometimes even indifferent? Do we pre-judge and get set in our ways?

Working together works when we work at it! Diversity builds the strength we need. Understanding differences can lead to enhanced decision making and informed processes. Celebrating differences will bring excitement and energy to the work we do.

SCHOOL EDUCATION PROGRAMPART OF SUCCESSFUL

CANADIAN BULL CONGRESSThe Canadian Bull Congress School Education Program, sponsored by Camrose County drew 255 students (up from 130 students last year) from seven schools throughout Camrose and county. Along with hearing about the different farm machines and local food products, students learned how to milk a cow, tag a steer or a bull (there were no animals present) and prevent farm injuries. Top right, Alyvia Huard gets an early start on her veterinary career by inspecting the back end of a cow. Right, Will Pattison shows students the seeds used for different crops.

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE

By Murray GreenOld is new again in New

Norway. The Hamlet of New Norway will be turning its outdated water tower into a new landmark for the com-munity.

Camrose County coun-cil has accepted an engi-neering services proposal submitted by ISL Engineer-ing and Land Services to provide professional engi-neering services for the New Norway water distri-bution upgrade and reser-voir replacement project at a cost of $317,000.

Ken Krause made the motion to proceed with the project and landmark Jan. 14.

“A total of $211,500 is for design and tender and $105,500 is for upgrading through construction ser-vices,” said County adminis-trator Paul King. “This is to be paid back over a 20 year period.”

In 2014, administration prepared a local improve-ment plan titled Hamlet of New Norway, Decommis-sioning, Demolition and Removal of the Existing Water Tower and Construc-tion of a New Water Reser-voir.

“I move that council send out a local improve-ment plan to the affected residents of New Norway for the demolition, removal and decommissioning of the existing water tower, and the construction of a water reservoir to accommodate a single family fire flow in the community for a total cost of $2,708,608 includ-ing carrying costs, with funding to come from the New Norway component of Camrose County allot-ment of current and future MSI to 2017 and a local improvement tax to be paid over 20 years,” said former councillor Glen Nelson last fall.

“Since then the cost of $2,708,608 has been reduced to $2,587,000 so there will be a cost saving. All that

will be reflected in the amount of money we need to borrow,” explained King. “Even with the increase in engineering fees, it will be a little cheaper to have the project done based on our estimated costs.”

Administration held community meetings and no sufficient petitions against the project were received.

Camrose County as part of the Regional Cooperation Grant for the dissolution of New Norway, contract-ed ISL Engineering and Land Services to evaluate the potential for cost sav-ings by completing a struc-tural review of the existing water tower to determine if it could be refurbished and left standing as a landmark.

It was determined to be $110,000 cheaper to keep the water tower, than to dis-mantle it.

“How much will it cost us to maintain the water tower for the next 20 years,” asked councillor Jack Lyle.

“By doing the study we found out it is structurally sound enough that we don’t have to do anything to it for three years. If we do struc-ture repairs, it could stand there for 20 to 30 years as a monument,” said King. “At the community meet-ings people strongly recom-mended leaving it in place. They lost their elevator, so they want to keep it to tell everyone that it is the Ham-let of New Norway.”

The blue water tower is found on the east side of the community of New Norway, but is clearly visible to anyone driving along the Highway 21. The water tow-er was constructed in 1958 after money was borrowed from the Alberta Govern-ment for the construction of a sewer and water system. This system is now going to be upgraded.

The original settle-ment of New Norway, which started around 1895 was one mile east of the present townsite.

From Agri-NewsAlberta Barley has

launched its new albert-abarley.com website, featur-ing up-to-date information and resources for barley farmers.

“Our new website is a one-stop shop for our mem-bers,” says Alberta Barley Chairman Matt Sawyer. “The latest updates on our research projects and mar-ket development initiatives are just a click away.

“Our new website is based on our grassroots phi-losophy,” Sawyer adds. “This is a user-friendly, accessible

Bawlf holds council electionBy Justin Brattinga,The Camrose Booster

The Village of Bawlf has been working with a skeleton crew. After the previous elec-tion, only three of the five available spots were filled.

A mayor and two coun-cillors have worked hard since the election ended, but having two more voices will have a positive result as they move forward. Bawlf has been a self-admitted munici-pality with low spirits. The current council wishes to change that, to build a new sense of community. It has worked. This by-election has attracted attention and even competition, whereas before there weren’t enough candi-dates to even fill the posi-tions. With a population in the hundreds, there is a lot of potential for a small com-munity to create a thriving home for everyone, and an identity that each citizen can be proud to adopt.

Small towns such as Bawlf face many challenges in the coming years; on top of those that they have already overcome. So many are in danger of losing population, and attracting new popu-lation is a challenge. Even cities such as Camrose are far from immune to these challenges, which grow more daunting with less popula-tion. By strengthening the community these challenges can be overcome and the local councils are the ven-ue and platform for doing so. A by-election shows that interest has been kindled, and with each vote a com-munity member can show that they are invested in improving their home. Bawlf mayor John Tessari stated in a press release, “We have the nucleus of an excellent team of staff and council and are looking forward to hav-ing the two vacant seats on council filled with two more positive voices after our by-election results are tallied. [The] current village council is focused on being friendly, honest and open, working, with [the community] as partners, to create harmony in our wonderful commu-nity.”

As they work to fill the final two slots, there have been three candidates who passed the nomination pro-cess. Those candidates are David Genio, Paul Lorente, and Bruce Wells. The by-elec-tion is set for Jan. 30, after the deadline for nominations was Jan. 2. Fortunately, the returning staff members were more than capable of handling the building of an election and the nomination process.

ALERT line busy with farm animal care concernsFrom Jan. 6 Agri-News

Since 1995, the Alberta Farm Animal Care (AFAC) ALERT Line (1-800-506-2273) has been providing a valuable service to and been an integral part of the province’s livestock indus-try. Last year, over 500 calls were received at the ALERT Line. Of those, 88 cases that were investigat-ed required some form of intervention.

“Producers were ask-

ing for an alternative ser-vice where the public could report any suspected ani-mal care concerns in a con-fidential way, and enable producers themselves to get some help,” said Pam Miller ALERT Line coordinator. “We know animal welfare is a growing public concern - agriculture is definitely under scrutiny. The ALERT service also helps to educate the public.”

AFAC has established

resource leaders and team members across the prov-ince to respond to situations arising from ALERT Line calls.

“The ALERT Resource Team members have suc-cessfully nipped problems in the bud, providing practical hands-on advice to improve animal care and sup-port responsible producers when the public calls were unfounded,” adds Miller.

Miller explains that

when a call comes in the ALERT coordinator deter-mines the nature of the call.

“If the caller is unfamil-iar with agricultural prac-tices the coordinator will provide information that will enable them to better understand the situation they were calling about. We receive a lot of calls that are unfounded. More and more, ALERT has become a source of information.”

From Jan. 13 Agri-News The Thanksgiving and

Christmas seasons mark the biggest time of year for tur-key producers. In fact, these two holidays account for over 75 per cent of turkey sold in Canada all year. By col-laborating with the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA) and other industry partners, Alberta Turkey Producers (ATP) is hoping to convince consumers to add turkey to their everyday meal plans.

A factsheet recently posted to the ALMA sites highlights the nutritional value and culinary possibili-ties of turkey.

Taste Alberta has weighed in on the campaign by providing information and great turkey recipes through the Edmonton Journal and Calgary Herald.

Haus Falkenstein has

347 different varieties of pan fried schnitzel – a Guinness world record.

Haus Falkenstein co-owners Micha Hentschel and his wife, Silke, start-ed investigating the Guinness World Record for restaurant-style schnitzel over a year ago.

to produce all the schnit-zels on the menu.

The record was offi-cially confirmed in November when Guinness sent out an official certifi-cate.

Of the 40 to 50 meals that Haus Falkenstein serves every day, 90 to 95 per cent are schnit-zel. The costs range from $14.75 to $26.75, depending on the ingre-dients, like the Chan-terelles, green pepper-corn and white aspara-gus, which have to be imported from outside the province.

“The one schnitzel that is ordered the most is the Jager schnitzel, a German classic that is made with homemade mushroom and bacon sauce,” said Hertschel. “My personal favourite is the Green peppercorn cream sauce schnitzel.”

The Guinness World Record has helped increase business at the restaurant, with some customers driving from several hours away.

“We place an adver-tisement in the German

newspaper in Edmonton,” said Hertschel, “so we are getting quite a few Germans coming from there, Calgary and dif-ferent parts in between. Our customers are impressed and amazed about the idea of get-ting the world record to Lougheed.”

Hertschel said the reason he started to pursue the Guinness record was to show peo-ple that there is more to the prairies than just cows, grain and coyotes and that everybody can set a world record with the right idea.

“People who live in the big cities have a strange mind about what is going on in the country. I want-ed to point out that there is a lot more than what they think.”

Guinness World Record lists the largest schnitzel ever made at 550 kg (made by Martin Liebscher, from Germany, in 2011). The record for the longest schnitzel is 96.7 metres (produced by Landgasthof Jossgrund in Germany in 2009.

“I did a search on Google and found out that previous record belonged to a restaurant in Herten, Germany, my home town,” said Hentschel. “They had 180 different varieties.”

Hentschel’s daugh-ter, Hjordis, scouted the Herten restaurant while she was in Germany last summer.

“I asked her to go there to check out what they’re doing,” said Hentschel. “She found out that he (the owner) was using a deep frozen mass produced product. That is not the way it is supposed to be. It should be made fresh, not deep frozen.”

Armed with that information, Hentschel asked Guinness to approve a new category for schnitzel that was commercially available and pan fried.

“They didn’t want to do it,” he said, “so I grabbed the record from the World Record Academy for the largest variety of pan fried schnitzel.”

Guinness also wanted him to provide proof that he actually had as many varieties as he was claim-ing.

“They wanted me to buy a $10,000 computer till where every schnit-zel was listed,” said Hentschel. “They also wanted me to send the sales receipts from each schnitzel variety, some-thing I didn’t think would work.”

The situation was finally resolved when Hentschel agreed to for-ward his ingredients list as proof that he was able

Banack crew helps Round Hillcommunity after wind stormBy Murray Green

A severe wind storm caused considerable dam-age to buildings, vehicles and other items throughout Camrose County and the city last week.

Tom Banack and his construction crew didn’t sit idle in the aftermath. The crew began repairing shin-gles on houses in Round Hill as a good neighbour gesture.

Although Banack worked on several of the houses he was repairing, he was under no obligation to help out because the dam-age was done after the war-ranty expired.

“He was doing this out of the goodness of his heart,” said Rebekah Burnstad, who was on the receiving end of the crew’s kindness. “This morning (Jan. 17), I saw guys pull up and I was wondering what are they doing here. They didn’t say anything, but all of a sud-den I heard banging on top of our roof. They pulled off the shingles that were half hanging there and they put shingles back on. I’m sure the expenses came from

Tom’s pocket and he totally restored my roof.”

Rebekah wasn’t the only one to receive repairs.

“He went around to other houses he worked on and did the same. They took time off from their work to help others and that is a

good news story,” she said. “It’s amazing. Our house wasn’t the worst hit. The Round Hill Main Street was full of shingles. At least five or six houses were hit hard. I think it is awesome that the community can pull together like that.”

SCHOOL C0LOURSCheryl Oslund from Holden School accepts a donation from Don Oslund of ConocoPhillips Canada. The donation will be put toward the school’s athletic programs. With the finan-cial support, Holden School will be able to purchase team shirts, which the students will be able to wear with pride, for a wide variety of events, for several years.

UpcomingBawlf council electionContinued from page 4

The staff and existing councillors were in place to take nominations, and will be able to carry out the elec-tion. These staff members include Kaylyn Genio, the acting CAO in Daysland, at the helm as returning offi-cer. Jody Yuha, another mem-ber, is the deputy return-ing officer. The election is an important event. In a village such as Bawlf, they are vital. The times when a commu-nity member has a chance to give their input into govern-ment in a powerful way are few, and when ballots are so few, every vote counts. If you live in Bawlf, stop by the village office, located at 203 Hanson St. in Bawlf, on Jan. 30 and make your voice heard. Give your vote, and help build the community.

By Dan JensenSixteen 4-H members from the Camrose area, Hanna,

Sherwood Park and Lamont learned how to create a posi-tive impression with their beef projects at the fourth annual Canadian Bull Congress fitting and clipping clinic Jan. 18.

Purebred limousin producer and Richardsons Pioneer agri-business assistant Colin Verbeek and Olds College agriculture management program student Tessa Nybo provided instruction on cattle washing, brushing, clip-ping and blow drying.

“We touched quite a bit on the importance of hair care and ways of making their steer look fuller,” explained Ver-beek.

“In a way they were able to learn what it takes to be a hairdresser.”

The instruction the youth received will help them make the best impressions on the judges during the 4-H show and sales that will be held in the spring

“The advice they received here will let them look at new ways of doing things and enhance the skills they already have,” said Verbeek. “You always have to keep trying and doing different things as part of your 4-H show career and we (himself and Tessa) are here to help in any way that we can.”

Darcy Wold, a volunteer, said it is important to keep the 4-H youth active and engaged in agriculture.

“You have to keep the youth interested and motivated and you have to start from the ground up,” he said. “It all starts with the 4-H programs and fitting clinics.”

Beef cattle showmanship not only generates enthusi-asm and competition within the show ring, but also teaches other valuable lesson that can be applied to everyday life. These lessons include accepting responsibility, winning graciously, losing with dignity, and learning the amount of work and determination it takes to become a winner.

The clipping and fitting clinic was sponsored by the UFA.
