Wheat growers endorse rail service Submitted

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers’ Association strongly supports the decision by the Canadian Canola Growers’ Association to file a formal level of service complaint with the Canadian Transportation Agency regarding the failure of CN and CP to meet their service obligations to farmers.

“We applaud the Canola Growers for taking this action on behalf of all prairie farmers,” said Levi Wood, president of the Wheat Growers. “Given the performance of the railways this year, we’re glad to see the Canola Growers step up to the plate and hold them to account.”

The Wheat Growers are expecting a positive ruling from the agency, given the railways’ poor grain shipping performance.

Until recently, the pace of grain shipments this crop year was below the pace of the previous year, even though the 2013 crop was 34 per cent larger than the 2012 crop.

“Our industry has tremendous potential to increase grain production, processing and exports in western Canada,” said Stephen Vandervalk, Alberta vice-president of the Wheat Growers. “It would be a great loss to prairie farmers and to the Canada economy if we are unable to capitalize on this potential due to constraints in our rail transportation system.”

A positive ruling from the agency will establish that the railways have an obligation to increase capacity to meet grain shipping demand. A negative ruling would point to a need to strengthen transportation legislation to ensure the requirements of the grain sector are met.

“This will be an important test case,” said Wood. “It will help us determine whether the existing legislation is strong enough to meet the needs of farmers and our customers.”

Genetic modification unwrapped Part one of a two-part series by Arnold Malone In the maddening world of news outlets, where science is displaced and the underdog is a champion, too much attention is given to fear and too little to fact.

Too many news reporters believe that giving a voice to a noisy minority while dismissing mainstream research is the road to advancement. It is not. Giving voice to the minority is worthy but in today’s world the minority too often have the full attention while reason and balance is snubbed.

This year, again, CBC will likely run more programs instilling fear and claiming that it is dangerous to eat foods that were genetically modified (GM).

If we did not have biotechnologically developed foods, millions more persons would have died from starvation.

Not one human in the history of humankind has ever eaten a food that wasn’t genetically modified. Our foods have been modified by nature and by our intent for a very long time.

Yesterday, more than a billion persons went hungry.

There are however, only two sources for food – soil and water – and there are no others. We either eat from the land or from the sea.

So, while the world’s population grows, the food capacity of the oceans decrease and our agricultural lands shrink because of erosion, degradation, urban sprawl, and transportation corridors. Still there are groups seeking to smear fear over the success of biotechnology.

Any hope of being able to feed the world must come from science along with our determination to produce food safely and efficiently. There is very little food producing land left to develop.

Daily we use cell phones, back-up cameras, coffee maker timers, and skype to talk to loved ones in far off places. Our admiration for technology is strong.

Yet, media have a propensity to champion fear when science is applied to food. Images are created suggesting that genetically modified food will produce humans with four ears and a single compound eye.

More than 70 per cent of USA food is already genetically modified. The most effective use will be in feeding the third world.

In 1996 there were 1.7 million hectares of GM crops.

By 2010 GM crops had expanded to 148 million hectares, a 87-fold increase,

making it the largest technology increase in modern agriculture. A United Nations University report stated, “Over this period of time … no study has indicated that GM foods are less safe than the traditional counterparts.”

Imagine a worldwide magical transport system that distributes food equally and without cost. Today, then, each human would have just barely enough carbohydrate and a woeful shortfall of protein.

What we have is a full planet with too many empty plates.

Yet in spite of such facts journalists report, falsely, that there is a dangerous risk in bio developed food.

Nearly all persons reading this will have consumed a pharmaceutical product. Yet the same group who regulate our pharmaceutical industries, the Canada’s Food and Drug Act, also regulates gene manipulation in plants and animals.

Canada Food Services and Health Canada, along with a host of International organizations such as The World Health Organization, set the protocols for testing.

Canada is fourth out of 193 countries for food safety and is rated higher than USA. GM product requires about 13 years of testing before being released.

A news article dated May 17, spoke of testing a measles virus in the

treatment of bone marrow cancer. Why would we accept this out of character research as progressive for medicine but assume that manipulated foods are dangerous?

World-wide health organizations find no harm from GMOs. If we can’t use our hearts to stop starvation then we must use our knowledge.

Noise should not trump reason.

What better way to spend a summer weekend than taking a drive to Viking to experience the Scandinavian culture of the community and get the chance to meet real Vikings.

The fourth annual 2014 Vikings in the Streets festival takes place June 20 to 22.

This three-day familyfocused festival starts out Friday, June 20, with a chili cook-off and taste testing at the Viking Legion, and live music. Take a walk down main street that evening to The Rocket, a refurbished building with a bowling alley on the main floor and movie theatre upstairs. Stay for the movie that starts at 7 p.m.

Saturday, June 21, starts out in the morning with a pancake breakfast and parade. Then the activities move to the Viking School grounds where you can enjoy the street hockey tournament, live local talent on the main stage, petting zoo, face painting, and, for the kids, the inflatables at Kiddieland.

There will be an assortment of vendors throughout the school grounds. The country market will be open at the Viking Community Hall, this year bursting at the seams with all kinds of vendors.

At the northwest corner of the school grounds the Viking Re-enactors, Odins’ Ravens, will be set up in an authentic Viking encampment. Take a stroll through the camp and talk to the Reenactors about what it was like to live in Viking times.

These real Vikings will also be participating in the Saturday morning parade, as well as performing combat demonstrations on the main stage.

New this year we are happy to have the Highway 14 Roller Derby Association join us. They will be skating their hearts out at the Viking Carena Complex from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.

For motorbike and car show enthusiasts there will be a Show and Shine on Main Street. Take a walk and view the many models of bikes and reminisce with the owners about the cars on display and see these old gems on the road.

At the north end of Main Street will be the Viking Historical Museum, formerly the Viking Hospital. Converted to a museum, these grounds and buildings are filled with artifacts and displays from the community. The museum will be open on the Saturday and Sunday.

On Sunday, June 23, the festival wraps up with a pancake breakfast and the street hockey tournament playoffs.

The Vikings in the Streets festival is a fun, activity filled weekend with something for everyone. Viking is located at the intersection of Highways 14 and 36. For more information about the festival visit our web site www.vikingsinthestreetsfestival.com or email at vikings@vikingsinthestreetsfestival.com.

Providence Place council unveils park

By Murray Green

The Providence Place Memorial Park in Daysland was dedicated in a brief outdoor ceremony June 4.

The park, a project of the Providence Place resident council, received funding from the Bawlf branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and a plaque from Burgar Funeral Home.

“We have planted 22 trees in the park thanks to generous and supportive people,” said Providence Place resident ouncil chair George Hetzner. “We have two more trees left, but after today, I think they be sponsored as well.”

George, along with John Person and Bob Hanrahan of Burgar Funeral Home, unveiled the plaque to mark the occasion.

“We are privileged to be a part of this and contribute to the park,” said John.

For more information on Providence Place phone 780374-2527.

Austin Munro from Bawlf School wins silver at high school provincials

By Murray Green

Bawlf School badminton player Austin Munro garnered a silver medal at the high school provincials.

Austin is the first singles player in the Battle River School Division to medal in Tier I provincials (at least since the Alberta Schools Athletic Association has recorded since 1996).

The Grade 12 badminton player travelled to Lethbridge on May 2 and 3 to participate in the ASAA Provincial Badminton Tournament.

To qualify for provincials, a player must place first or sec-

Bawlf community celebrates the past 64 years of school

By Murray Green

Badminton provincial silver medal winner Austin Munro, left, and gold winner Wonik Jin of Calgary were in the finals.

ond in three tournaments: city/county, area, and then zones. The top two players from each zone (16 total) then qualify for provincials.

Austin was ranked in the top 10 heading into provincials, which meant he would play the seventh ranked player in the first round.

A win would advance him to Tier 1 and a loss to Tier 2. After winning 21-14 and 21-19, Austin advanced into Tier 1, which had two pools of four players each. He advanced to compete against the first, third and fifth provincial ranked players.

The round robin was incredibly close with almost every match being separated by only two points. After the dust settled, there was a three-way tie for first, but Austin edged out the other two players to place first in his pool.

In the semifinals against the number two seed, Austin rallied to an upset win with two straight 21-17 scores.

The gold medal game was a great match and extra time was needed. Austin, however, was edged out 22-20 in the final set to earn a silver medal.

It was a grand reunion for Bawlf School. Past staff and students over the past 64 years gathered to say good-bye to the old school and to see, through the fences, the construction of the new facility that will open in September.

The first Bawlf School opened in 1905 above the general store and a new building was built in 1907. After several decades a new school was built and completed in 1950. This same school will be closing when the term finishes on June 27.

Bawlf School principal Diana White, former student Brenda Bohmer, current student president Yvette Vermeer, school council chair Gail Cunningham Flemming, former student and teacher Margaret (Piro) Hall and vice-principal Stacey Dunnigan all shared memories with a large crowd.

“This school is my school too. I was in Grade 9 in 1949, the last year at the old school. I remember the two-storey building with wood floors and the trips we had to make to the outhouses. It was such a thrill when a new school was built with running water, large windows, lovely floors and indoor washrooms,” shared Margaret, who didn’t stay away for long.

“I was fortunate to be back here on staff in 1955.”

She taught for about three years and then took 10 years off to raise a family. Margaret then taught from 1968 to 1992.

“I’ll always be proud of how Bawlf School and the community treated me and my family during my fabulous years here. Farewell, good old Bawlf School.”

Former students and staff recalled the memories through a tour of the school, artifacts including pictures and uniforms, and reminisced with other people that had one thing in common: fond memories of the facility.

A new chapter in Bawlf will be written this September when the modern school will again open its doors to the community.

More than 50 of the top agricultural researchers from around the world were able to get a good sense of how Canadian producers operate during a recent visit to the Will Pattison farm north of Camrose.

“They had the opportunity to wander around, look at the animals and talk to some of the neighbours who have some of the bigger equipment for seeding,” explained Will’s son, John, a former Augustana student who is currently working on his Ph.D. while at the same time overseeing the University of Alberta’s $5 million Alleviating Poverty in Malnutrition in Agrobiodiversity Hotspots project. “It was a chance for them to get out into rural Alberta and see how their farms in places like Colombia, Nigeria, South Africa, India and Cambodia compare to what we have here.”

T he resea rchers made special note of the fact that while the size of farms differ, the challenges that farmers face – making sure the soil has enough organic material and fertilizer, water, and access to markets – are the same everywhere.

“We could talk about the same things and relate,” said John. “It was cool to be able to discuss the ways different countries have been able to overcome their food production and food security issues.”

The replacement of the hall’s main level flooring could be one of the next renovation projects.

The hall is busy with many functions throughout the year.

The Bittern Lake Community Association has the local hall booked for many events this year.

The revitalization of the community started with renovations to the hall in order to hold events to bring the community closer.

President Wendy Toms, director Angie Lorente, two other directors and several volunteers knew the hall needed repairs but they weren’t ready to part with the building filled with history.

“We want to make this hall a functional building where it can be used every day, or as much as possible, rather than sitting empty,” said Wendy, who started as president last September.

“I’ve only lived here a year and a half, but my understanding is that it was closed a lot of the time. Now it’s open almost every day of the week.”

With a number of elderly residents who love to go for walks to stay in shape, the doors were opened during the winter.

“They don’t like to walk outside in the winter when it is cold or icy.

They can go up and down the stairs around the main hall and in the basement,” explained Wendy. “We charge $3 for each dropin activity (except Zumba) to help with the upkeep of the hall. It’s only $3, but it keeps us going.”

All event proceeds go towards sustaining the hall, renovations and adding other functions.

A sampling of events includes Easter egg hunt, Mother’s Day breakfast, garage sale and trade show, Halloween dance, Remembrance Day supper, movie nights, children’s Halloween party and a children’s Christmas party.

The building also hosts regular activities such as darts and games on Friday evenings, Zumba on Mondays and Wednesdays, art guild Monday mornings, inside winter walking program and family drop-in centre, as well as weddings, family reunions and private functions. A block party with a corn boil and fire works is slated for Aug. 16. Bittern Lake was also a stop on the MS Bike Tour.

“Our biggest weekly

event is darts on Fridays.

We get about 18 people out,” said Wendy.

“We have a lot of awesome volunteers. Without holding these functions and the volunteers, the hall wouldn’t exist,” said Angie.

The basement in the hall has completely been renovated to include a large kitchen, seating area and dart boards.

“We put in new floors, lighting and paint, and everything was re-done because we had a flood last fall where water came through the walls, so we had to replace everything.

We put in a new stove,” said Wendy. “It was all done with volunteer work, except for the lighting.”

One of the next projects will be to replace the main level flooring.

“We are down to our last sanding on the floor that was also used for floor curling. We have to replace the counter tops along the bar and we would like a storage shed for extra chairs and tables. We would like to go with lighter chairs and tables, so they are easier to move around,” Wendy added. “We just had a company in Edmonton donate three fire doors to us. We were just waiting for the weather to get a little warmer to install them.”

The association is looking for ways to improving the facility. “We are going to get a wheelchair ramp to make the building more accessible,” said Angie.

“We are building a wall of thanks to honour those who have volunteered a lot. We will have plaques,” Wendy said.

Recently, the association held a bottle drive to raise funds to purchase the food for the Mother’s Day breakfast.

“The next big event will be the trade show. We are holding it from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on June 20 and 21.

The trade show will be in the hall and then everybody who wants to can have a garage sale on their property,” Angie said.

For more information on the hall contact Wendy at 780-672-3759. To book a table for the trade show phone Angie at 780-2810879.

Some of the women researchers, in particular, enjoyed talking with John’s sister, who is in the business of raising and breeding sheep.

“It was interesting for them to be able to talk to a female farmer,” said John.

“One of the things they noted was that with many farms throughout the world there is a real gender gap. The women are doing all the work but the men are making the decisions.

International dialogue

The visit followed a conference at the University of Alberta on international food security, the objective of which was to promote Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF) projects in Canada, provide a platform for learning exchange between CIFSRF and related projects in Canada, and to discuss the ways in which research can lead to action.

Themes included sustainable food systems, nutrition and health, economics and policy and gender.

“Those are the key things that you want to talk about when you are considering a food secure world,” said John, who was the conference coordinator. “Can you produce enough? Can you do it so it is nutritionally secure?

Can you do it so the farmers have access to markets for their crops? Can you influence policy so that the government policy makers are actually listening and saying okay, we will take your recommendations.”

the potential to increase the food and nutritional security for women, men and children.

the worst victims. About 50 per cent of the children are underweight at birth, 42 per cent of the kids under the age of five are underweight, and 59 per cent are stunted. Indian poverty has both protein-calorie malnutrition and more widespread micronutrient deficiency, particularly among women and the adolescent. In contrast to this stark reality, India is

one of the 12 mega-diversity countries and also a major centre for crop plant domestication. In particular, India boasts high levels of agrobiodiversity – the genetic resources required for food and agricultural production.

While land conversion to agriculture has increased food production for human consumption, it has come at the expense of biodiversity

and the natural functioning of ecosystems; this enigma often leads to decreased food and nutritional security for the local population.”

The APM project is a flagship project for the U of A, involving about a dozen faculty.

“We knew we had to focus on India, which is a burgeoning and a coming global power economically,” said John.

University names new dean From Agri-News

Stanford Blade, chief executive officer of Alberta Innovates – Bio Solutions, has been named as the new dean of the University of Alberta Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, effective Aug. 1.

“We have all these

great people within the faculty addressing key issues of importance to Alberta and the world. For me, the role of dean will provide a great opportunity to position our work, to articulate the importance of generating new knowledge and the potential it has to solve not only some

of the problems that Alberta is facing, but also problems that exist across the globe,” said Blade.

“It is the perfect fit for that curious farm kid who had a fascination with science.”

Blade succeeds John Kennelly, who has been dean since 2004.
