County breaking ground for fire hall

By Amelia Naismith Bentley’s cramped fire department will be moving into their new hall this winter.

A sod turning ceremony July 4 marked celebration and recognition for the joint project between Lacombe County and the Town of Bentley.

The project started in January of 2011 with a small committee that felt the hall was too small for the active volunteer department. “At the time it was determined we really needed to do something about it,” said Keith Boras, manager of environmental and protective services for the county.

Taxpayers are funding the $1.8 million hall and Boras says this is the first hall the county has been involved with without the aid of grants. He knows the project is a big step for Bentley and the town recognizes the need for a larger hall.

The current hall, situated next to the Bentley Town Office, is more than 50 years old, isn’t large enough for how new equipment is being manufactured and is too small to house the five trucks used by the department.

The half-ton utility truck doesn’t fit in the cramped bay, which is so small hoses have to be dried out in the middle of the floor. For a period it was kept outside the building but vandalism forced it to be moved to a members house, just outside of town.

“They have to take the vehicles out in order to check the oil,” said Boras.

“When we deal with HAZMAT materials and have to wash ourselves it’s with a hose. And the water can get pretty chilly,” Todd Gustafson “At this point, during the winter, we had to take the trucks down to the local car wash to get them washed because the building is too small and for obvious reasons we couldn’t do it outside,” added Fire Chief Todd Gustafson.

The hall’s training room also serves as the bunker room, meeting room, class room and kitchen area. There’s one bathroom and the shower has been turned into storage space. “When we deal with HAZMAT materials and have to wash ourselves it’s with a hose. And the water can get pretty chilly,” said Gustafson.

With the new hall in sight, Gustafson and the other 16 members are looking forward to a less cramped future. “It feels good, we’ve been extremely excited about the new facility.”

“I think it’s going to be huge. This building has been designed to accommodate the department far into the future,” said Bentley’s mayor, Joan Dickau.

“I think it’s a great day for the County of Lacombe and the Town of Bentley,” she said.

Agrim Centre more than a future dream

By Amelia Naismith After several years of planning, shovels were finally brought out of hibernation and a few hearty scoops of sod officially launched the third phase of the Rimbey Agrim Centre.

The July 3 sod turning ceremony took place on the Rimbey Rodeo Grounds and was attended by members of Ponoka County, the Town of Rimbey and the Rimbey Agricultural Society.

The 60,000-square-foot Agrim Centre will include a riding arena, meeting space, boardroom, announcers box, concession and a grandstand to seat 900.

Spokesperson Tim Edge says the centre will be one of the biggest and best, as well as the second of its kind in Ponoka County, with Ponoka’s Calnash Ag Event Centre. “With this second building Ponoka County is going to be at the mecca of agri-recreation in Alberta.”

With the hopeful completion of the building by next spring, the Agrim Centre will affect all aspects of Rimbey — bringing in more tourists and business traf- lion cash and purchased more land for ing the ceremony. fic as well as providing more space for organizations project expansion.

Canadians who don’t regularly track how governments spend money might be surprised to find how myths crop up about government expenditures.

Exhibit A is a new report from the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP) that claims Canada needs even more “industrial policy,” academic lingo for subsidies to business, as if governments had not already long practised such policy, and at a considerable cost to taxpayers.

“Industrial policy” is more colloquially known as corporate welfare. Proponents dislike that term as “industrial policy” sounds more technical. It thus conjures up the notion of smart people in government successfully targeting this or that sector for growth.

Space does not permit a full analysis of the report, which urges Canadian governments to enact a “strategy” on corporate welfare. (To be fair, the report acknowledges problems with and critiques of the practice.) Let me instead point out that peerreviewed, academic research on business subsidies cast doubt on the many claims proponents offer up in defence of the practice.

One of the more comprehensive analyses is from Terry Buss, currently a professor in Australia and formerly with the World Bank. In a review of studies that support industrial policy, Buss found most were industry-sponsored, and/or never peer-reviewed and thus lacked scientific rigour. That led to correlationcausation errors and faulty claims of increased investment and employment.

Such studies, Buss writes, are “based on poor data, unsound social science methods, [and] faulty economic reasoning.” He concludes such reports “cloaked in the legitimacy of what appears to be scientific and economical [rationale], provide politicians and practitioners with justification to award political favors without appearing to be political.”

Back to on-the-ground practice in Canada. With the exception of Alberta (where subsidies have been mainly abandoned since 1996 following a disastrous $2.2 billion loss on 1980s-loan guarantees to business), most Canadian governments are too eager to send tax dollars to corporations. (My 2009 report found Canadian governments spent over $200-billion on capital and operating subsidies to business in a 14-year period.)

In contrast, governments are less eager to be frank about the cost of corporate welfare, including chronic government failure on collecting on past loans. This is particularly true of the federal Conservative government.

For instance, one retired civil servant, Cliff Oldridge who once worked for the federal Department of Industry, has tried for years to get accurate numbers from his former department. One example: Over the past year, he filed an Access to Information request for repayment forecasts for five Industry Canada programs that authorized $5.3 billion in taxpayer cash to corporations between 1996 since 1996 through to 2011.

The department denied Oldridge the repayment forecasts, even though such estimates would not reveal confidential commercial information. There is a reason: the department’s own history and internal reports reveal its repayment forecasts are routinely revised downward.

As proof, consider a 2005 analysis prepared for Industry Canada by a consultant who noted “repayments are typically less than originally forecasted.”

The consultant informed Industry Canada its original repayment estimates “totalled about $4.3 billion, while the current repayment estimates total about $2.4 billion, or 55 per cent of the original aggregated estimates.” In other words, the federal government wrote down expected repayments by $1.9 billion.

In another example of non-transparency, since 2008 cabinet ministers and MPs from the Harper government have announced $550 million in funding

from Industry Canada’s Strategic Aerospace Defence Initiative, the main program for dispensing taxpayer cash to the aerospace industry. Politicians eager to make announcements included Christian Paradis, Jim Prentice, Tony Clement, Kerry-Lynne Findlay and Bob Dechert.

Problematically, the accompanying media releases claimed the $550 million given to companies such as Pratt & Whitney, Heroux Devtek, Bristol Aerospace and others, were in the form of “repayable contributions.” That language, wrongly, gives the public the notion such loans are guaranteed to be repaid one day.

In fact, the over-half billion dollars disbursed were “conditionally repayable contributions” in the accurate legal language.

The “conditional” descriptor is critical; compa-

nies that receive conditionally repayable contributions don’t necessarily have to pay them back. Repayments depend on a variety of factors, known only to departments and recipients. However, we do know – as noted above – that repayments are poor.

If the Harper government included the “conditional” word in its public statements, it might flag how billions in taxpayer dollars are sent out with only a chance of a partial return.

Canada’s governments have never taken a breather in “industrial policy” and the call for more of it is ill-advised, strategic or not. The Harper government is also rather non-transparent about the chronic corporate welfare already practised by it and previous federal governments.

Mark Milke is a Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute and author of five reports on corporate welfare.

Gov’t keeps Canadians safe On July 1 many Canadians and their families celebrated the birth of our country. For 146 years this day has been a time to reflect on our great nation, celebrate the past and ponder future possibilities. Municipalities, provinces and the fedMP Blaine eral government have always planned events Calkins designed to bring us all together in peace and celebration. This year was no exception as thousands of Canadians enjoyed Canada Day and the summertime weather in Ottawa and here at home in the constituency.

Unfortunately this was not the case in Victoria, B.C., where two B.C. residents were arrested and charged in an alleged al-Qaeda-inspired terror plot at the legislature building. These two were intent on sabotaging our safety by committing acts of terrorism with the hope their actions would result in death and destruction.

This was not the case, thankfully. Much like the 2006 Ontario terrorism case that saw the arrest of 18 members of al-Qaeda (the ‘Toronto 18’) who were plotting a series of terrorist activities in Ontario, the hard working members of our RCMP Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams that includes investigators from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and Canada Border Services Agency, intervened ensuring at no time the public

was in any danger.

The recent arrests demonstrate a real threat continues to exist for Canadians. It is the first priority of any government to ensure it protects the safety and security of its citizens. This is the main reason why we need a continued, concentrated effort to be vigilant in the defence of our great country.

Our government has enacted new legislation and provided more tools for law enforcement to combat terrorism. Since 2006, we have passed: the Combating Terrorism Act, which provides law enforcement with more tools to fight terrorism; the Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act, which speeds up the deportation of those who pose a risk to Canadians; and the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act, which allows victims to sue perpetrators and supporters of terrorism as well as create the Most Wanted List which has resulted in the removal of 32 criminals from Canadian soil. Our government has reduced the removal backlog of foreign criminals and failed refugee claimants by 46 per cent and prevented the use of fake documents by making it mandatory for those coming to Canada to provide fingerprints and photographs.

Our commitment to protecting Canadians from terrorist threats is unyielding. The arrests in British Columbia have made Canada a safer place.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Kudos for Rimbey’s seniors’ handi-van Dear Editor: I am biased, however, I do want to say the fact Rimbey and area has a handi-van that is successfully run on volunteer labour is just incredible.

What a terrific service in your community.

I live in a small town and we do not have this service. My bias comes from the fact that my father, Neville Roper, has been involved for years.

On June 28, Neville is the driver. He

emailed he hopes it doesn’t get too hot because they only have the dashboard A/C. He will have a busy day of pick-ups and drop-offs including loading wheelchairs, securing passengers and ensuring the seniors are delivered safely and on time. Neville turned 91 in March.

Rimbey has a solid grounding in service to others and the handi-van is one great example.

Pool malfunctions — again Dear Editor: OK, so I know about the flooding in Calgary, High River and the Siksika Nation, and yes, let me first of all tell everyone I am truly empathetic.

That having been said, I must come down to earth and deal with situations that seem totally insignificant compared to the catastrophe faced in those communities, but that in the final analysis is hitting home the most —namely the malfunction of our outdoor swimming pool.

You may think it is insignificant compared to the disaster but for many families here in Rimbey, the closure of the pool on one of the hottest days of this summer, is quite annoying at

the least and begs the question about how the company to construct it was chosen in the first place.

Perhaps our MLA, rather than touring around his constituency in his newly-acquired Lexus SUV, could spend some time determining how his constituents are best served, not by flood dikes but by everyday amenities such as swimming pools and libraries Then, after he has completed that task, he might advise the current government of the people of Alberta, how best to prevent disasters such as the one visited upon the people in southern Alberta in the future (climate change, remember, Joe) Edo Deweert

Young, wild and free Bentley grads

By June Norvila

Twenty-one graduates took part in the Bentley School Grade 12 convocation exercises June 27. Their chosen theme was Young, Wild, & Free.

A catered banquet was enjoyed in the Blindman Valley Ag Centre by graduates and their guests before the doors opened to the public. The hall was filled with family, friends, guests, well wishers, and dignitaries and award presenters.

Emcees for the banquet were Grade 11 students Troy Metro and Carissa Derksen, with grace said by United Church minister Rev. Adam Kilner.

The Toast to the Parents was given by graduates Sevan Schmidt and Falon Vert, with the reply by parent Pat Schmidt.

Hayley Lush, Brooke Szasz, and Brittany Gerbrandt extended the Toast to the Teachers with the reply by teacher Merv Leidl.

Brooke Szasz showed a Powerpoint presentation, then it was on to the formalities with school principal Lane Moore introducing each graduate as they took their place on stage. “You don’t have to know what you want to do with the rest of your life (at this point). Don’t just do what people tell you to do.”

Guest dignitaries who offered congratulations included Bob Huff, ward 5 school board trustee from Wolf Creek Public Schools and Bentley Mayor Joan Dickau.

Rev. Kilner asked the class to ask themselves, “What have I done with my life?” and asked, “What do you have to show for it?”

Guest speaker, Australian-born Christopher Spring, who competes for Canada in bobsledding, said taking the first steps is difficult, but taking those first steps opens up more doors and is the hardest to do, but once you get doing it, it gets easier to make changes in your life. He has gone from the warm, white sandy beaches of Australia to the cold white winters in Canada.

Grads end high school with awards frenzy

Blackouts, a broken system Rolling blackouts across Alberta July 2 that affected families and businesses is a direct result of a broken system that needs to be fixed, says Wildrose utilities critic Joe Anglin.

AESO reported the rolling blackouts in Lethbridge, Red Deer and Edmonton were a result of low wind generation, planned and unplanned maintenance and pointed to the single failure of a transformer at a substation near Edmonton.

Anglin said after last year’s rolling blackouts, it’s unacceptable that for two years running, Alberta power consumers have been put at risk of being nickel and dimed by power shortages in Alberta’s electricity market.

“Despite (Energy) Minister Ken Hughes saying that the system is working wonderfully for Albertans, it’s clear that the system is not working, especially given that consumers have

been gouged by the system before because of planned power shortages,” Anglin said.”We need leadership in this province that is willing to recognize that a problem exists and that it is time to roll up our sleeves to fix it.”

Despite the July 2 peak use of 10,062 MW, Anglin said it is still well below the all time demand record of 10,609 MW set in January 2012. Alberta’s electricity system has a supply of up to 14,000 MW when all generators are running at full capacity.

Youths honour fallen soldiers in art

By Treena Mielke Two talented and creative hometown girls were recognized by the Rimbey Legion at the Canada Day celebrations held July 1 at Pas Ka Poo Park.

Twelve-year-old Triana Hohn was honoured for her poem, Dear Love that won at the area, district and command level of the Royal Canadian Legion, and13-yearold Gabriella Olvera-Najera was recognized for her second-place finish with her poster of a war cemetery filled with poppies.

Hohn’s touching poem is written as if the author were a young solider who had been killed and was writing after he has arrived in heaven.

In an excerpt from her poem, Hohn strives to convey the horror and devastation felt by the fallen soldier.

For freedom comes at a high price And the way it is obtained Is not at all nice War is living hell and I endured it all Right until the moment I fell.

Writing poetry is enjoyable, said Hohn.

“I enjoy writing poetry and the poem seemed like a good way to honour those who died for our freedom,” she said. ìIt seems appropriate to remember about freedom on Canada Day.” Olvera-Najera, who came to Rimbey from Mexico a few years ago with her family, depicted the price of freedom in her own way with her poster of a cemetery filled with graves an dotted with poppies.

She is happy to be living in Canada with her family.

“We don’t think about going back (to Mexico) except to visit,” she said.

The presentation of the certificates followed the marching in of the colors by Legion members.

Former Legion president Barbara Patey and president Tyler Hagel presented the awards to the girls and Hagel gave a short speech before the colour party marched out the colours.

Kassidy Hohn led the crowd in the singing of O’ Canada.

Gabriella Olvera-Najera won second place in a Legion competition with her poster that showed a cemetery, poppies and flags as well as the graves of soldiers.

Drunk drivers arrested Mounties were kept busy arresting drunk drivers this week. Numer-

T hrills, spills, pancakes and chucks at the rodeo Rodeo action is coming to Rimbey.

This year’s Central Alberta Rodeo Association (CARA) rodeo is July 12 to 14 and promises to bring with it lots of thrills, spills and excitement.

The rodeo will kick off with a pancake breakfast sponsored by Rimbey Co-op and Servus Credit Union in the Co-op parking lot from 7:30 to 10 a.m. Friday.

The local rodeo will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, and the CARA sanctioned rodeo is to begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday and again at 1 p.m. Sunday. Mini chuckwagon races, back by popular demand, will also be held on those days.

Gary Gross, the announcer for the International Indian Finals Rodeo and World Professional Chuckwagon Association is the rodeo

announcer. The clown is Ricky Ticky Wanchuk, a well-known rodeo personality who keeps the crowd entertained and laughing while he attends to the more serious job of ensuring competitors are safe.

Each day, rodeo action will be preceded by the grand entry led by the rodeo queen.

Mini donuts and a Lions Club concession will be set up at the rodeo grounds.

A parade, sponsored by the Town of Rimbey, will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

For more information about the parade, contact Pete or Tanya at 403-843-3151.

A cabaret featuring Debra D and the Western Wind will be held in the agricultural building July 13 beginning at 9 p.m

Parade, activities create downtown buzz

By Treena Mielke The Red Deer Royals will add a brilliant splash of color, their wonderful musical talent and a general feeling of excitement to the Rimbey parade this year as in the past.

“We will have the Royals. They love coming to Rimbey and we love to have them,” said Tanya Mercredi, administrative assistant for Rimbey recreation department.

“Also this year we were approached by the Red Deer Adult Marching Band, so we will have them as well.”

Mercredi said there is no entry fee or registration required to take part in the parade July 13.

This year, as in the past, vintage trucks from the Smithson Truck Museum will be used to transport dignitaries along the parade route.

Candy will be thrown out along the parade route but Mercredi cautions parents to ensure their children don’t run out in front of moving vehicles or animals to collect their treats.

The Beatty House Society will be busy on parade day, serving its usual fare of hotdogs, smokies and all the delicious fixings. The Beatty House grounds is a delightful place to enjoy this fare, served following the parade.

During parade day only, the Rimbey Farmers’ Market will be held at the Servus Credit Union parking lot.

Some businesses will participate in a sidewalk sale throughout the day.

Chamber of Commerce president Jackie Stratton said ongoing activities uptown will create a busy, exciting atmosphere.

“We want to create a buzz uptown,” she said.

Keep kids active once the school year ends In many ways, today’s kids have busier schedules than any previous generation of youngsters. Many extracurricular activities, including sports, require a nearly year-round commitment, and the dual-income household has landed many kids in afterschool programs where kids tend to their schoolwork or engage in various activities that keep them from resting on their laurels.

But those busy schedules get a lot less hectic when the school year ends. Once school is out, kids used to a full schedule might find themselves with lots of time on their hands.

Though it’s good for kids to squeeze in some rest and relaxation during their summer break, it’s also important for kids to stay active so they don’t develop poor habits as the summer goes on. Kids who are physically active are more capable of coping with stress and tend to have higher self-esteem than kids who do not include physical activity as part of their regular routines.

The following are a few suggestions for parents looking for ways to keep their kids active throughout the summer while still allowing them to recharge their batteries after a long school year.

• Plan an active vacation. Summer is when many families go on vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more than napping poolside? Though it’s still good to leave some time for relaxation, find a locale where you can embrace activities like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that get you and your youngsters off the poolside chaise and out exploring. Such a trip might inspire kids to embrace an activity more fully, getting them

Swimming is a fun and healthy exercise to keep kids physically active throughout the summer. off the couch not only while they’re on vacation but also when they return home for the rest of summer.

• Teach kids to garden. Gardening might be seen as a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. A garden must be planted, hoed, weeded, and watered, and gardening gets kids out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors.

When growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to

be directly involved in the foods that will eventually end up on their dinner tables. Parents can embrace this as an opportunity to teach the value of eating locallyproduced foods and the positive impact such behavior has on the environment.

• Go swimming. Few adults who work in offices haven’t looked out their windows on a sunny summer day and thought how nice it would be to be spending that afternoon making a few laps in a lake, at the

beach or in a pool. Kids have the same daydreams during the summer, so take a day off every so often and take the kids for an afternoon of swimming. Swimming is a great activity that exercises the entire body, including the shoulders, back, legs, hips, and abdominals.

In addition, swimming helps kids and adults alike maintain a healthy weight while also improving their cardiovascular health. It’s hard for some people to find a place to swim once the warm weather departs, so take advantage of the summer weather and go swimming as often as possible while the kids are not in school.

• Limit how much time kids spend watching television, playing video games or surfing the Internet. Many of today’s kids are as tech savvy as they are busy. But it’s important that kids don’t spend too much time online or on the couch watching television or playing video games. Such activities are largely sedentary, and they can set a bad precedent for the months ahead, even when the school year begins once again.

Parents should limit how much time their youngsters spend in front of the television or the computer during summer vacation, keeping track and turning the TV or computer off if they suspect kids are spending too much time staring at the screen instead of being active. Kids might not love it when you turn their video games off or minimize their access to social media, but explain the limitations at the onset of summer and let kids know you expect them to be physically active even if it is summer vacation.

Host an outdoor movie night this summer Outdoor activities are even more fun when the weather cooperates. Pleasant temperatures and conditions can entice people who are normally content to stay indoors to venture outside and enjoy the fresh air.

There are a number of activities, from cooking to entertaining, that are ideal for summer fun. But what about watching a movie?

Some parks, municipal recreation centres and businesses host movie nights under the stars for large groups in the summertime. However, homeowners can host an outdoor movie night right in their own backyards.

• Establish the “screen” spot well in advance. A few different scenarios can make watching a movie more enjoyable. You will need a large enough surface to act as the movie screen. If yours is a light-colored home, you can project the image directly on a patch of siding that is not broken by windows or doors. Otherwise, you will need to erect a tarp, sheet, shower curtain, or an actual screen to serve as the backdrop. Test out the movie-watching experience prior to inviting people over to ensure that the movie is clearly visible.

• Invest in a projector. To project the

movie onto the big screen, you will need a projector. Electronics stores sell projectors that can hook up to everything from DVDand Blu-ray players to smartphones. Some are small enough to travel in your pocket. A high definition projector is your best bet, especially one with an HDMI input.

• Have a sound system. Don’t skimp on a sound system, otherwise you’ll have a big, impressive movie picture without adequate sound. A stereo receiver or an old sound system that you can buy on an auction site or garage sale should suffice.

• Create the theatre. Theatres are built

with staggered seating in which seats are set on a gradually increasing angle. This may not be possible in a yard unless you have a nicely sloping hill. Place blankets or sheets down front for children or shorter adults and then place folding chairs for adults.

• Have movie snacks on hand. Snack foods, especially finger foods, work best for outdoor movie nights. Give everyone a paper lunch bag they can fill up with snacks from a snack table and then take with them to their seats. Have a cooler filled with beverages in close proximity to your seats.

Step into the past at Pas Ka Poo Park

By Treena Mielke Take a step into the past and visit Rimbey’s own Pas Ka Poo Park, which includes a historic village and The Smithson Truck Museum.

The village, open from mid May to early September, is truly a fascinating journey back in time.

It includes a main museum as well as the Arch Rib Museum built on site in 1970 that displays household and small business artifacts, and the village itself, which is delightful, charming and offers an authentic, hands on lesson in history.

The village has many interesting buildings, including the Bluffton Legion Hall, built in 1952 that houses several war veterans’ artifacts, a barbershop and meat market built in 1915, and a train station from the early 1900s along with a wooden caboose built in 1947.

Also on the premises is the first school in Rimbey, the Kansas Ridge School, built in 1902.

The Rimbey town office, built as a residence in 1915, prior to becoming the town office and Rimbey’s first church, the Church of Epiphany, built in 1908 using vertical logs, are part of the historic village.

A hand-hewn homesteaders’ log cottage built in 1932 is also part of the scenario.

Near the park’s playground are replicas of a blacksmith shop and a trapper’s cabin. Just outside the trapper’s cabin stands “The Traveler,” a chainsaw creation by local artist Darren Jones and donated by his family in 2002.

The medical museum, displaying memorabilia from the Rimbey hospital, is now open. Park officials are interested in obtaining stories or artifacts from St. Paul’s Hospital, which closed in 1930 or the Three Way Hospital, which became the Chronic Convalescent Three Way Hospital.

In 1990 the Rimbey Historical Society added a

museum to house Ken Smithson’s collection of 19 restored International pickup trucks and The Smithson International Truck Museum was created.

The museum houses the most complete collection of International half-ton trucks in the world.

In 2002, for the town’s 100th anniversary, a 1957 anniversary edition truck was refurbished and donated. Volunteers are now restoring a 1928 International truck from the ground up, complete with a hand carved wooden steering wheel.

An extensive license plate collection and many vintage photographs are also in the truck museum, open daily.

Call ahead to book a tour guide at 403-8432004 or simply stop by the park.

Cheryl Jones, administrator for the Rimbey Historical Society, said several events are planned at the park for the next few months to provide fun and entertainment to locals and visitors alike. She reminds the residents of Rimbey of the many attractions and interests the park holds, and invites them to spend some time there this summer.

Activities for August include Gospel in the Park Aug. 18 and a Booknic Aug. 23.

Farmers’ markets will be held every Saturday at the park, unless the weather is unfavorable, until October.

Weddings, mystery tours and senior tours are all part of the exciting scenario at Pas Ka Poo Park throughout the summer. The grounds of the park are beautified by hanging baskets supplied by Holly’s Greenhouse and volunteers from the Horticultural Society who plant lovely flowers.

Artifact donations and volunteer help are always welcome at Pas Ka Poo Park.

The original Kansas Ridge School town office is one of several buildings along the streets of Pas Ka Poo Park.

Reflections on 100 years at Gull Lake

By Mike Rainone and Treena Mielke

Whether we are toddlers, teens, parents or grandparents, just about each and every one of us who has made this area our home has fond memories of swimming, fishing, camping, boating and other great adventures of fun and frolic in and around the sandy beaches of Gull Lake.

This tranquil body of water and the lush rolling hills and landscape surrounding it have developed slowly over many centuries, and along the way have painted a colorful history full of vivid changes and a great deal of pleasure for thousands of visitors from near and far.

The Summer Village of Gull Lake centennial celebration will be held Aug. 2 to 5 with many fun and exciting community events and activities throughout the weekend. For more information contact committee chair Stephanie Davis at msdavis@nucleus.com and/or visit www.gulllakecentennial.com History books claim that in the late 1800s Gull Lake once covered an area of 47 square miles reaching as far north as the present Highway 53 but started to recede in the late 1920s, and would drop at a rate of six inches a year. The late 1920s also marked the beginning of lots of oil and gas well drilling, both on and around the lake. By the 1970s the over-all depth had gone down 10 feet and the water now filled an overall area of just 35 square miles, and has continued to recede over the years to present day.

In the early days there were two small channels at the north end of the lake between two islands located to the east and west but continuous sand storms and debris blown in by strong winds from the south would eventually fill in the channels. In many areas around the lake the sand storms would create piles and ridges of sand as high as 15 feet, which slowly created a steady growth of weeds and trees and left some 200 acres of swamps and sloughs in the surrounding areas where the lake use to be.

Pioneers recall as the forest and foliage would completely transform the pristine shoreline of Gull Lake forever, the area became an early haven for beaver dams, rat houses, and all species of birds and wildlife, then later a hot spot for the ongoing development by hardy families of settlers. To this day, if you went out there and dug deep enough into the sloughs and sand you would likely find numerous small shells left by the l ake many decades before, as well as the skulls and bones of the large herds of buffalo that once roamed this vast expanse of land.

The exciting early history of Gull Lake Peter Adams (fondly known as Uncle Sam) came to scout out the Gull Lake area in 1890 from Michigan, and so much liked what he saw that he went back home and eventually brought his entire family back in 1894 to settle on the east side of lake. Over the years Adams built many of the roads around Gull Lake, while he and his boys cut posts and rails to sell, as well as establishing several kilns, from which they would produce and sell the lime that plastered most of the buildings around the countryside for many years.

He later took up a homestead near Wolf Creek west of Rimbey in 1925, raising a family of 10 children, and also setting up a community saw mill.

The always congenial Peter Adams would became a proficient axe man, making sturdy but exquisite sleighs for countless settler families, all fashioned completely out of wood by hand, and selling for $5. He died at the age of 82 in 1935 while working on his house, and his wife died in Rimbey in 1954 at the age of 93.

Harry Brownlow was born in 1869 in Bristol, England, came to Canada in 1885, and arrived in Alberta to establish a homestead near Gull Lake in 1900. This energetic entrepreneur was not cut out to be a farmer, so he sold his magnificent lakefront property as lots for summer cottages and then developed the posh summer resort of Brownlow’s Landing. This would later include a store for the convenience of the cottage owners and homesteaders, as well as the growing crowds of tourists from near and far. Harry’s busy life also became wrapped up in politics at the municipal, county, and provincial level, serving as a staunch Conservative for over 40 years.

Brownlow also had some experience with river boats, so in 1911 he teamed with Mr. Walker and Mr. Ross to bring a small steam boat to Gull Lake. The fancy double decker 36 x 40 foot vessel called the Sea Gull, was powered by a wood-burning boiler and under the direction of engineer Norman Ross hosted countless pleasure tours and picnic charters out on the lake. One could only imagine what it might be like coming back from a long night of dancing and carousing and then having to walk the single plank of Brownlow’s pier back to the shore.

Thomas and Jane Cummings emigrated from Ireland in 1898, and arrived in Gull Lake in 1900 with their family of four. Son George acquired sawmills on the west side of the Lake at Sucker Creek and at Cook’s Point (now Birch Bay). To The Summer Village of help keep up with the lucrative lumber trade in weekend.

This late 1890s photo shows tourists having a grand time at Brownlow’s landing on the east side of Gull Lake. By 1900 Harry Brownlow was selling pristine lakefront property and had established a resort that included cottages and store.

The Kangaroo was built in 1898 by the Cummings family and was used to haul massive booms of logs across the Gull Lake to the saw mills. The 84 x 19 foot sailing craft was also used at night for glitzy cruises and dances. the area the family built a massive (84 x 19 feet) sailing craft called The Kangaroo, which hauled huge booms of lumber across the lake to the mills, delivered lumber to customers, and was occasionally used as a pleasure craft.

Today Gull Lake offers an opportunity to indulge in a potpourri of fun water sports including sailing, power boating, swimming, fishing and windsurfing.

It is great for waterskiing and tubing, but on some posted areas, either all boats are prohibited or power-driven boats are subject to max-

imum speed of 12 km/h.

The lake is also a fisherman’s haven with northern pike, ling, whitefish and walleye making their home within its waters.

Aspen Beach Provincial Park, established in 1932, was one of the first parks in the Alberta parks system and this beautiful natural area is on the southwest shore of Gull Lake. The scenic park has several campgrounds within its perimeters, each including a large number of sites, a group camping area, a boat launch, beaches, day use areas, flushing toilets and showers.

Gull Lake, popular for its variety of leisure activities, celebrates its centennial on the August long File photo

Canada celebration remains crowd favorite

By Treena Mielke The birthday party for Canada in Rimbey turned out to be a gala affair with lots of out-of-town guests enjoying the festivities.

Pas Ka Poo Park was a busy place with a huge crowd taking advantage of the warm, sunny day to come and enjoy good food, visiting and plenty of games and entertainment for young and old alike.

Linlee Landsiedel from Red Deer came out to the park with her baby nephew, Carter.

“This is fantastic,” she said, as she stood in the huge line up for birthday cake. “We are definitely coming back next year.”

Cathy Fiddler, who lives in Calgary, but was camping at Gull Lake with her grandchildren, said the friendly atmosphere in Rimbey brings her back again and again.

“We’ve been coming her for years. We love it. People are so pleasant and generous and make us feel so welcome.”

Residents of Rimbey rubbed shoulders with out-of-towners happy to be close to home, enjoying the fellowship of friends and neighbors.

Ivette de Bruyn was at the birthday party with her husband,

Dr. Juri de Bruyn and their children, Jurie-Hendrik, Carlie and Erika. The de Bruyns moved to Rimbey from South African several years ago.

“Canada is our home. We don’t have family here, but we have friends who are like family,” she said.

De Bruyn said the Canada Day celebration in Rimbey is well worth attending.

“It’s lots of fun and there is lots of things to do for the kids.”

Eileen Poulsen from Rimbey, who was volunteering at the school set up at Pas Ka Poo Park on Canada Day, was pleased to see the young families show up for the holiday.

“I think it wonderful for the park and wonderful for the families. It is so nice to see them all turn out and have fun.”

“It’s so neat for the kids,” said Donna Heilemann, who attended the celebrations with her husband, Len. “I’m very impressed.”

The celebration at Pas Ka Poo Park included speeches and presentations from the Rimbey Legion, a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Rimbey Historical Society, children’s entertainment, games, music and cake and ice cream.

Avoid the dangers of extreme summer heat The end of summer can be a bittersweet time of year. To some, summer is the most enjoyable time of year, marked by shorter hours at the office and family vacations. For kids, summer is a time when homework is set aside in favor of rest and relaxation.

As enjoyable as summer can be, there are many people who, come the end of August, are glad to see summer nearing its end. Such people may enjoy cold weather or may simply find their tolerance for high temperatures and humid afternoons is starting to wear thin.

Regardless of one’s personal opinion about the dog days of summer, the often unforgiving climate synonymous with late summer is a considerable safety risk for people of all ages. Temperatures approaching or exceeding 30 degrees C, coupled with intense humidity can be dangerous, and it’s important that men, women and kids emphasize safety as summer winds down.

• Check seating before sitting down. You don’t have to spend time outdoors to get burned when summer temperatures soar.

Something as simple as sitting down on a surface exposed to the sun can cause burns.

Before sitting down in a car, on a bench or other surfaces exposed to the heat, check the seats by touching them with your hand. Brief contact with your hand is not likely to result in a burn, and you should be able to gauge whether a seat is safe to sit on or too hot.

Parents should always check their children’s car seats before placing youngsters in the car.

If seats are too hot, cover them with a towel before sitting down.

• Lock car doors at all times. Kids might be more amenable to summer heat than their parents are, but that doesn’t meaning playing outside isn’t a potential threat to youngsters’ health.

In addition to more standard precautions like applying sunscreen to youngsters before they go outdoors and ensuring they drink enough water, make sure the doors to all vehicles on your property are locked. Whether they’re seeking a respite from the hot summer sun or simply playing with friends, kids might climb into cars when mom and dad aren’t looking, and that can put youngsters in precarious positions, especially if the vehicle’s windows are rolled up. Cars can quickly turn into ovens during the summer sun, and kids can easily succumb to the heat if they climb into an unattended vehicle on a hot day. Be sure to lock your car doors so kids are not tempted to climb in on hot summer days.

• Limit strenuous activities. Adults may find late summer is the ideal time to get outdoors and go for a run or enjoy a little sun-soaked exercise. Some may want to get a little sun or simply enjoy the sensation of sweating off a few pounds as they jog around the neighborhood. But strenuous outdoor ac-

tivities should be kept to a minimum once the dog days of summer arrive. Heat stroke and dehydration are very real possibilities when adults and kids overextend themselves on hot days, so keep physical activity to a minimum on especially hot days or schedule activities for those times in the day when the temperature is more amenable to activity.

• Stay hydrated. Summer heat can take a toll on the body, which needs water to stay cool. On days when the summer heat is especially hot, be sure to drink plenty of water even if you don’t feel thirsty. The body’s cooling system can fail in extreme heat or when conditions outside are especially humid, leaving men, women and children susceptible to dehydration.

One way to gauge if you are drinking enough water is to look at the color of your urine. If your urine is clear like water, then you’re likely drinking enough water. When urine is a darker color like the color of apple juice, then you likely need to drink more water.

Dizziness, an elevated heart rate and nausea are each symptoms of dehydration, particularly on hot days.

Summer heat can be dangerous, and men, women and children should take precautions so a summer heat wave does not take a potentially dangerous toll on them.

Limiting strenuous activities to times of day when the weather is at its most co-operative is one way for active men and women to avoid succumbing to summer heat.

Golf is a family sport

Adults who play golf know just how fun and frustrating the game can be. Whether you’re a veteran golfer or someone just learning the links, golf can be challenging.

But as exacting as the game can be, it also can be just as rewarding, even for kids. Children who embrace the game of golf will learn a host of lessons they can apply in all facets of life. A humbling game even for professional golfers, golf can teach kids lessons in humility and the value of persistence even when things aren’t going your way.

Golf is also a great way for parents to get kids off the couch and outdoors for some fun in the sun. Instead of spending summer afternoons in front of the television, kids who play golf are out patrolling pristine golf courses while getting some cardiovascular exercise along the way. Golf can also strengthen a child’s hand-eye coordination, which can help them in other activities, including many different sports.

Though many people do not begin playing golf until they’ve reached adulthood, it’s never too early for boys and girls to start learning the game of golf.

Parents of preschoolers can start their kids off with a toddler play set. Though it’s just a toy, a play set can help lay a solid foundation for future golfers.

Kids who have watched Mom and Dad play golf or practice their swing can develop their own swings on their play set.

As kids approach school age, don’t overlook the nearby miniature golf range as a valuable teaching tool. Miniature golf clubs are small enough for many children to use comfortably, and kids can use miniature golf courses as a place to put any lessons or advice on putting to good use. What’s more, a miniature golf course is more than just golf, with creative courses and other fun activities, so kids won’t feel overwhelmed with golf.

When kids move on from preschool to elementary school, some might want to tag along with Mom or Dad to the driving range. You should try to avoid overwhelming kids with too much instruction or information. Instead, keep things as simple as possible, teaching them the basic swing and encouraging them no matter how quickly they adapt.

As kids enter middle school and approach high school, those who are enjoying the game of golf can take advantage of the driving range if they haven’t already begun to. A driving range typically has markers that indicate the distance of a regular hole, regardless of which tee you will play from on an actual golf course.

Kids can aim for holes at shorter distances to learn how far their drives are going. You can then adjust the lessons you teach your children based on how far youngsters can drive the ball.

As a child gets closer to high school, you might want to buy the child his or her own set of clubs. Look for inexpensive clubs (oftentimes, thrift stores or other secondhand retailers have clubs for sale)

Stay safe this summer (MS) The weather is heating up and Canadians are heading outdoors to soak up the fun.

Warm weather enthusiasts should keep safety on the top of their minds when they’re out camping, boating and barbecuing.

CSA Group, a leader in testing and certification, wants to remind everyone to stay safe all summer with the following tips.

Camping stoves and lanterns • Fuel-burning camping equipment, such as stoves, lanterns and outdoor cookers, should only be lit outdoors and at least three metres from tents, combustible materials and vehicles.

Never light a stove or lantern inside a tent or vehicle.

• Before use, carefully inspect parts for leaks, blockages or damage.

• Keep loose, flammable clothing away from open flames. Carefully monitor children and pets around stoves and lanterns.

Boats and cabins • Ensure boats and cabins are equipped with proper emergency safety equipment, including first aid kits and fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors and fire alarms.

• When first opening your cabin, carefully inspect all appliances for damage from rodents or insects.

• Always wear a personal flotation device. Never consume alcohol while operating any vehicle.

Outdoor gas barbecues • Before firing up your barbecue, carefully inspect burners and burner tubes for blockages due to dirt, grease, insects or rust buildup. Clean or replace any blocked parts or have a certified technician make repairs.

• Propane cylinders must be inspected and re-qualified. A date stamp on the cylinder indicates when it was last qualified. Don’t use a rusty or damaged cylinder. If in doubt, have your tank replaced.

• When purchasing or installing a gas barbecue, make sure that it carries the mark of an approved certification organization, such as CSA Group, indicating the barbecue has been tested to applicable national standards.

The Beatty House and Tourist Information Centre are open daily Monday to Saturday 9 to 5:30 and Sunday noon to 4 p.m.

Visit the Beatty House The Beatty House in Rimbey has a long and colorful history and thanks to the Beatty House Society, the home and grounds have been restored to their original state.

Jack and Violet Beatty came to Rimbey from Saskatchewan in 1919, opening a hardware store. The store later became known as Beatty and Cotton Hardware when Jack teamed up with Wilfred Cotton.

The couple, who remained childless throughout their marriage, lived above the hardware store until their home and the store was destroyed by fire in the early 1920s.

The house, truly a masterpiece in its time, was built in 1925 when Beatty hired a local carpenter to build him and his wife a modern home in keeping with the stature of a successful businessman.

The house, constructed by Joe Jones, is a 11/2 half storey semibungalow built in the Craftsman style.

Though her husband died in the ’50s, Violet lived in the house until 1984. After she died, the house was handed down to relatives, who later sold it to the Town of Rimbey.

After being vacant for two years, the future of the house, located on a prime corner in the town’s original commercial strip, didn’t look good.

However, a group of nine concerned citizens rallied together and the Beatty Historic House Society was officially created and the house was designated as a registered Historic Resource in 1991.

Now, restored to its original solid craftsmanship and character, the house has become a special place for the entire community to enjoy.

Weddings, family celebrations, business meetings, garden parties and live theatre takes place here.

The Rimbey tourist information centre is located inside the house for the summer.

The Beatty House and Tourist Information Centre are open daily Monday to Saturday 9 to 5:30 and Sunday noon to 4 p.m.

The Beatty House Society will be busy on parade day, July 13, serving its usual fare of hotdogs, smokies and all the delicious fixings. Lunch is to follow the parade and will be served at around 11:30 a.m.

Doug Rogers’ Wild West Willie is a popular attraction at summer parades throughout central Alberta, including the one in Bentley.

Bentley holds hot Canada Day fair

By June Norvila

Evening fireworks explode over Bentley.

Photos by June Norvila

Families enjoyed eating free hot dogs.

For the fourth year in a row, the volunteers of the Bentley Firefighters Foundation (BFF), assisted by their families and friends, organized Bentley’s free Canada Day events.

It was so hot and sunny many people tried to find what little bit of shade there was in and around the main street town parking lot.

There was the official singing of O Canada, a bouncy castle, face painting, a water fight area, free hot dogs, pop, water and Canada Day cupcakes. There was also a magic show by Malcolm Russell from Black Diamond, who has performed throughout the world; the BFF obstacle course competition, DJ music, and lastly, fireworks.

Canadian flags and the color red were plentiful. A big impromptu water fight helped cool down some kids.

Lots of business and individual sponsors, a Canadian Heritage grant and a Lacombe County grant, and dedicated volunteers helped make the whole thing possible.

Face painters were kept busy from 4:30 p.m. and on.

Youngsters enjoyed the free bouncy castle.

Be aware out treasure hunting (MS) Summer is here and garage sales and flea markets abound.

As you search for that perfect treasure, be sure to keep safety in mind. Second-hand items, especially electronics, building supplies, appliances and helmets, may carry certain risks if damaged or used. If you are planning on reselling consumer items, check the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s web site for a guide on things that can and cannot be sold, and for product recalls.

CSA Group, a leading certification and testing organization, offers these safety tips for yard sale shoppers.

Second-hand items • Avoid electrical or gas products if a label from a recognized certification organization, such as CSA Group, is missing.

Look closely at the mark to ensure it matches the design and colour of certification marks from the same organization on other similar products.

• Check wiring and extension cords for wear and damage. In particular, look for worn insulation and splices on the cord and loose or exposed parts on the plug.

• Avoid purchasing used bicycle, hockey or construction helmets, as you don’t know their history or what damage may be hidden from plain view.

Counterfeit or illegal goods • Counterfeiters often use flea markets to peddle fake goods. Packaging on counterfeits is often poorly designed or has only partial illustrations.

Misspellings and unclear printing on products and labels may be another indicator of a fake product.

• Brand-name companies want you to know whose product you’re buying, so look for a recognized name. Also, look for return addresses or company contact information on packages.

• Check the “look and feel” of goods. Fake products often seem light and flimsy.

More safety tips are available at www.csasafetytips.com.

RCMP out keeping roads and waterways safe With summer in full swing, Rimbey RCMP are out on the roads, on the lakes and in the camping areas doing their part to protect campers and boaters and to ensure rules and regulations are being followed.

Mounties continue to work closely with conservation officers and fish and wildlife officers in the Medicine Lake and Gull Lake areas.

Rimbey RCMP have their own commercial vessel to use this summer, a 17-foot Titan and officers from the detachment have been trained as boat operators.

These officers continue to do random patrols on the water to ensure boaters are wearing proper lifejackets, using correct paddles, have a proper bailing device and are licensed small vessel operators.

RCMP Sgt. Mark Groves said boat patrols to date have revealed only 60 per cent of boaters in compliance with boating regulations.

Many of them do not have enough lifejackets, a proper bailing bucket or a sound device, he said.

Groves warns fishing without a license can result in a $fine and a

You’ve got your license and updated your electronics. Your reel is strung with fresh line, the hooks on your favourite lures have been sharpened and you’re up on catch limits and slot sizes in your area.

You are ready — or are you.

What about your lifejacket? The Lifesaving Society reports that, in Canada, between 2006 and 2010 an average of 134 people drowned per year while RCMP will patrols waterways to ensure boaters fishing. Traditionally, 80 per cent of drownings involve victims who weren’t are following the rules. wearing their lifejacket. It’s in the boat.

the decision to wear yours whenever you go fishing this year? If you fall in, your chances of survival will be greatly increased, especially in cold water.

These aren’t the same old bulky lifejackets that your dad made you wear whenever he took you fishing. They’re lighter and cooler with models designed specifically for anglers. Inflatables are also a great option for those 16 years of age and older in that they’re lightweight, adjustable and comfortable. They come in manual and auto-inflate models and are available in vest and pouch styles.

Inflatables must, however, be worn while on deck to be legal.

Officers will patrol the trails and campsites on Medicine Lake and Gull Lake areas all summer.

Complaints about the use of ATVs on public land are a consistent problem, damaging the environment, colliding, driving while impaired and disturbing families that are camping.”

Groves said the summer also presents the problem of missing person files that can be easily rectified if people use common sense and let someone know where they are going.

You’ve got them hooked on fishing as a fun activity that you can share together. The Canadian Safe Boating Council asks that your whole family becomes hooked on lifejackets as well.

According to the Canadian Safe Boating Council and the Lifesaving Society, 80 per cent of recreational boaters who drown each and every year in Canada were not wearing a lifejacket or Personal Floatation Device (PFD).

Have a fun summer vacation on a budget

Over the last several years, families have increasingly focused on stretching every dollar they have. Rising fuel costs and an economy that is still struggling have inspired many families to permanently adopt a thriftier lifestyle.

While it's good to be financially prudent, families don't have to give up luxuries like summer vacations. Instead, parents can employ a few simple saving strategies that can reduce the cost but not the quality of a summer vacation with the family.

• Find accommodations that provide a kitchen. A significant portion of a family's

summer vacation budget goes toward food.

Families will need to eat no matter where they go, but cost-conscious parents should find accommodations that include a private kitchen. You won't need to eat in every night, but cooking two or three times over the course of a week-long vacation can save a substantial amount of money. If you can't find a room with its own kitchen, try to find one with its own refrigerator and microwave.

• Stay local. Staying close to home for summer vacation can save families a good deal of money. Rising fuel costs have made both driving and air travel more expensive. Find-

ing affordable flights has become increasingly difficult, especially for families who don't have the luxury of planning their summer vacation several months in advance.

Staying local for summer vacation reduces the need for costly hotel accommodations and saves money on fuel.

• Visit a major city or tourist area. For families who simply must get away, keep in mind that the further you go off the beaten path the more costly it will be to get there. For example, a remote locale is likely nowhere near a major airport, and it can be expensive to get from the airport to the resort. In addi-

tion, it's harder to find affordable flights to remote locales, as there are typically fewer flights available to such destinations, than flights to major cities or more popular tourist destinations. So while vacationing in the middle of nowhere has its benefits, cost-conscious families might be better off choosing a destination that's much more accessible and affordable.

Taking a summer vacation is a tradition for many families. This summer, families focused on saving money can do so in a number of affordable ways.

Your cheerful goodnights, holding her hand when she couldn’t sleep, the laughter and the tears.

You were Mom’s “beautiful girls” and her new best friends. We appreciated all the visits from family and friends, the cards, calls, flowers and food. ~Thank You Dale, Linda Hatala and family

The Rimbey Review, July 9, 2013 37

Politics affect international crops futures As we celebrated the nation’s 146th birthday, positive weather continued to shine down on the Prairies and most of the US Midwest. Unfortunately, all the Canadian pork, beef, beer and fireworks bought up for the celebration didn’t help the strength of the Canadian dollar, which continued its decline past $0.95 US. Not to say that our beloved Loonie is becoming worthless, it’s just that all that work by the U.S. Federal Reserve has increased the relative strength of the American Greenback.

All currency wars aside, the most recent USDA Stocks and Acreage Report on June 28, came out pretty bearish. While the market was expecting planted corn acres in the U.S. to be around 95.5 million acres, the analysts in Washington said that the inclement, wet weather hadn’t actually put a damper on seeding and that 97.4M acres would be planted. Further, the USDA actually increased wheat acres planted in the U.S. to the most since 2009 but moved soybean acres up only 600,000 to 77.7 million acres, a lot less than what was expected.

While improving crop conditions in North America continue to put a damper on prices, the lower prices may bring more international buyers to the table. While Egypt, the world’s largest wheat buyer, said they wouldn’t be putting any more tenders out until December, recent political unrest there may

have forced their hand as the government recently bought 180,000 tonnes. While foreign currency reserves continue to spiral downward and political tension is building, the military there recently started a coup d’état to unseat the not-so-popular Muslim Brotherhood and its leader, President Brennan Taylor Mursi.

FarmLead The majority of the tenders for Egypt came from the Black Sea region, with Ukraine and Romania winning the tender at prices that steeply undercut current North American export prices. This ultimately suggests that there is more grain coming off the combine than we had initially anticipated. As of July 1, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture said that 8.5 million tonnes of grain have been harvested so far, well up from 4.9 million tonnes at this time last year. Further, 6.8 million tonnes of that harvest is all wheat, again, well up from the 4.3 million tonnes brought in by this

time last year. In the Ukraine, six million tonnes of grain had been harvested as of July 3.

Switching gears, the edible oil market continues to get messy as there continues to be a build of supplies, especially in palm oil and soybeans. There are still many demand questions linger on depreciating emerging market currencies (i.e. the Indian rupee weakening past 60 per U.S. dollar, a record low) and worries of economic growth in the E.U. and Asia (especially China, the largest market). Case in point, according to a recent Commerzbank survey, nearly 70 per cent of Germany companies believes that Euro will depreciate in the next year, implying weaker economic prospects.

Ultimately, old crop prices will likely be supported here in North America by smaller inventories, but with more supplies coming through the pipeline over the next few months, not only oilseed, but other cereals will certainly feel the negative effects.

Brennan Turner is originally from Foam Lake, Sask., where his family started farming the land in the 1920s. Mr. Turner spent some time working in finance before starting FarmLead. com, a risk-free, transparent online grain marketplace. His weekly column is a summary of his free, daily market note, the FarmLead Breakfast Brief. He can be reached via email (b.turner@farmlead.com) or phone (1-855-332-7653).
