Page 2-Claresholm Local Press, Wednesday, April 13, 1988 Sports and Recreation Taking to the sky Numerous glider pilots gathered at the Claresholm Airport on Satur- day to take advantage of the fine weather, Though conditions were not ideal for soaring, the pilots were still eager to get airborne in search of blue thermals. Above, pilots prepare their aircraft for take-off (inset) and Claresholm pilot, Tony Burton sails over the Porcupine Hills. Local artist in Arizona Exhibit A Stavely craftsman will be showing his work in the third annual Trappings of the American West exhibit at the Coconino Centre for the Arts in Flagstaff, Arizona, this spring. Custom saddlemaker John Visser will display his work with other top artists from around the West in the popular show, which runs from May 7 through June 12. The juried Trappings show brings fine Western art (painting, drawing, sculpture, photography) together with the crafts of cowboy culture, such as saddles, braided rawhide, hitched horsehair, silver-mounted bits and spurs, and custom-made boots and hats. Sixty-four artists and craftspeople from the Western United States and Canada are participating in this year's show In addition to exhibiting the work of some of the finest artists in the West, the Coconino Centre for the Arts also sponsors workshops, performances, and a documentary film series in conjunction with Trappings. Participants in workshops will have an opportunity to learn the basics of rawhide braiding, horsehair hitching, leather carving, cowboy poetry reciting, and camp cooking, among other things, Performances scheduled during the show include two cowboy music and poetry shows and two short concerts by Canadian singer-songwriter lan Tyson. Documentary films on cowboy culture will be shown each Wednesday evening from May 11 through June 8. The Coconino Gentre for the Arts is a private non-profit art centre located at 2300 N, Fort Valley Road in Flagstaff.

Some of the tennis-playing stalwarts of the Club have already been out bashing balls on the recenitly-renovated courts and it is expected that, with the formal opening of the tennis season, that even larger numbers of players will be out on the courts, The Club will, again, run their very successful skill-development sessions for members and Jay Hawthorne will be at the helm of things displaying his usual patience and good humour that has not failed him during the many years be has been the mainstay of Claresholm tennis. An added bonus for those joining the Club this year will be the added experience that Rob Hale-Matthews and Lee Mainprize will bring to the courts after their winter sojourn at the famous Vic Braden tennis school south of the border. There have already been mutterings from the Barry Taylors and Kim Roberts of this town about what they are going to do to these two: hot-shots What the club is really looking encouraging the many women badminton players who joined the club to start playing tennis. 1988 memberships are now due and anyone interested in joining one of Southern Alberta's most successful tennis clubs is encouraged to get in touch with any member of the committee of the Claresholm Racquet Club.

Granum will take advantatge of We stand on guard for thee? by Norman Storch EDITOR'S NOTE; Hanna- area farmer, Norman Storch. has learned to adapt his farming practices to maximize soil and water conservation. A leading industry spokesman. Storch was this vear named one of Can Outstanding Young Farmers for his farm management ability and commitment to improving agriculture technology. Storch operates a broiler hatching egg operation along with a 1,600 acre grain and cattle farm about 25 miles north of Hanna. He started out in the poultry busi- hess in 1973 and expanded his operation in 1976. He prepared this column to support the ef- forts of National Soil Conserv. tion Week, April 11 - 17. 1988. Since the virgin soil of the Canadian prairies was first bro- ken in the early 1900s, the pro- ductive capabilities of that soil have continued to decline The very nature of farming re- quires that this occur. The farmer must remove nutrients from the soil to produce food for the hungry world. In less than a century of cultivation nearly one-half of the organic matter has been lost from these fre igile soils This loss represents a signifi- cant cost to. the farmer as well as Funds contributed to the Cana dian Cancer Society and allocated to research are used to pay the Salaries of full-time scientists, laboratory technicians and assistants and to buy essential Materials and equipment for cancer research laboratories. Give generously to the Canadian Cancer Society. pet a whole, The cost to the farmer is direct. A good seedbed is more difficult to pre- pare, Germination is often af- fected by crusting or pooling after a rain. The soil is more sus- ceptible to erosion from wind and water The cost to society is less di- rect but every bit as real. If the productive ability of a soil con- tinues to decline. that soil is less able to support a viable agricul- tural service industry The productive value of our soils will continue to decline until we reach a level of-man- agement that creates an equilib- rium between what we take out of the soil and what we put back in. 3 r, Gains need not be large. As an example, if the average farmer. could cultivate one less time per crop, the soil would be better covered, better protected. and better saved. The loss of organic matter and soil degradation is a condition that we can do something about. It simply takes a commitment to the conservation ethic. These gains can be both practical and personal. The most obvious returns come in the form of greater pro- ductivity from a better soil. The personal satisfaction that comes from a farmer knowing that he is doing his part to maintain the soils that have been entrusted to him is really what farming is all about 2 Future generations are de- pending on us to take the proper initiative now annual the Tourism Initiatives Grant. A committee will be established and an Action Plan presented on a 5 year program which would net the town funds in excess of 19,000.00.
