How much is this worth?

Can you put a price on the nature around us?

One environmental group has certainly tried.

William Stodalka Staff Writer

The David Suzuki Foundation released a study saying that the ecological services provided by the Peace River watershed to farmland, keeping water clean, offseting pollution, providing a home for wildlife and providing a place for people to enjoy nature is worth $7.9 to $8.6 billion a year.

"Even though the cumulative effects of resource development have affected more than 60 per cent of the Peace River Watershed, our study shows that remaining farmland and natural areas have an incredible ability to generate natural wealth," said the David Suzuki Foundation's head researcher Faisal Moola.

“We hope this report encourages discussion about how natural areas and farmland in B.C.’s irreplaceable Peace Region are valued – and undervalued – when decisions are made

that could destroy the region’s natural wealth.”

Moola specifically pointed to the decision over the Site C dam as something that this information could affect.

This area of land stretches south of Tumbler Ridge, west of Hudson’s Hope and hundreds of kilometres north of Fort St. John. This amounts to about 5.6 million hectares of land, about the same size as all of Nova Scotia, the Suzuki Foundation said.

Most of the Peace watershed’s value, according to the Suzuki Foundation, comes from “carbon storage.”

A tree can help “store” carbon released by something like a power plant.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency The David Suzuki Foundation puts the value “valued” a ton of carbon dioxide for $11 to $52, basing it on certain climate change scenarios.

Based on those prices, it eventually calculated that on the low end the Peace River Watershed could provide $6.7 to $7.4 billion per year in benefits to B.C. residents.

Then, while admitting that First Nations cultural lands are “considered invaluable,” the Foundation used a 1991 Saskatchewan study on how much First Nations would pay to keep them and transferred those numbers to the Peace Region and today’s dollars.

The value of the farmland came from an Abbotsford study, in which people were asked how much they would be willing to pay to keep their farmland.

The Suzuki Foundation study also helped lay out what’s what in terms of acreage in the Peace watershed.

Just under two-thirds of the land – or 64 per cent – is forested. Wetlands make up about 9.2 per cent, followed by grasslands at 7.8 per cent, and other types of land making up another 10.7 per cent.

Water made up 1.4 per cent of the land, with developed land only takes up 0.1 per cent.

But the Suzuki Foundation said that much of this land is under threat.

“We’re concerned because the strain on the Peace River Watershed’s farmland and natural ecosystems will only increase with the B.C. government’s plan for increased oil and gas development, including liquefied natural gas, as well as large infrastructure projects such as the proposed Site C Dam,” Moola said.

Chief Roland Willson of West Moberly First Nation echoed these concerns.

“This study confirms what we have known for generations. Our Dane-Zaa people have been blessed with forests, rushing rivers and rolling grasslands that have sustained our communities for thousands of years,” said Willson in a statement.

“However, the cumulative effects of industrial development in our territories have been massive and can’t be mitigated.

They’ve had an enormous impact on our treaty rights as First Nations people.”

The Suzuki Foundation stated that already there are about 16,300 oil and gas well sites, 8,500 petroleum and natural gas facilities, and “tens of thousands” of kilometres of logging Agriculture • Building • Contracting Industrial • Livestock For bookings, rates or more information:

Dave Conway, a spokesman for BC Hydro and the Site C project, said that his company was still going through the data. However, “We’d like to suggest people keep the size of the project in comparison,” he said.

He said that the Site C dam footprint is only 550 hectares, while the Peace River Watershed that the report examines is 5.6 million hectares in size.

(However, previous figures discussed at the Site C Joint Review Panel hearings estimate that the hydroelectric dam would flood 83 kilometres of the Peace River, which would put almost 4,000 hectares of farmland alone underwater.) “Regardless of what you do for electrical generation, everything has an effect, whether you look at wind generation, geothermal,” Conway said.

“We know Site C has the potential for some significant effects. We believe those effects are justified by the need of the project,” he added. reporter@ahnfsj.ca

Steaks (burgers) for Soldiers at CFB Edmonton The Steaks for Soldiers campaign will visit Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Edmonton again on August 6. Approximately 6,000 hamburgers will be served during the CFB Edmonton event, which will mark the third and final Steaks for Soldiers event at this location. Launched in 2007 and restarted in 2010, the Steaks for Soldiers campaign itself will conclude this fall with a final event in Shilo, Manitoba.

The event has served nearly 4,000 kgs of Canadian steaks and burgers to Cana-

dian troops since 2010. Looking back over the years, Harvey Dann, head of the Sponsor a Steak for a Returning Soldier campaign, notes the popular campaign couldn’t have been as successful as it was without industry involvement: 650 people, 97 per cent of whom are cattle producers, donated nearly $120,000 in contributions to this important campaign since 2010 after CCA funded the first event back in 2007.

Dann added that there is never any shortage of cattle producers willing to show their appreciation for the CFB troops. Some donated funds and serving time while others donated serving time by coming out to help serve a great meal to CFB personnel. More than a dozen cattle industry representatives have volunteered to help serve the burgers and fixings to the troops at CFB Edmonton this week.

As well, Canadian Cattlemen Magazine provided the design for the advertising campaign, which they shared with Alberta Beef Magazine, to lead the advertising campaign to raise monies required. This was followed by other beef trade magazines and provincial association newsletters or magazines which helped create awareness of the program.

The CCA has supported the Steaks for Soldiers events

since 2007, when the first troop rotation came back from Afghanistan. The original event was held as a way for Canadian beef producers to express their gratitude for the service of the Canadian troops by treating them to a great steak dinner.

The CCA sponsored the 1,700 steaks served to the returning troops of the Royal Canadian Regiment and their families at CFB Petawawa at the 2007 event. In 2010, Dann and his daughter, Jackie Dann, owners of Alert Agri Distributors Inc., independently spearheaded the Sponsor a Steak for a Returning Soldier campaign as a way for beef producers to extend their ongoing gratitude to the Canadian Forces.

CCA’s John Masswohl, who has been on hand at many of the events, said he’s been very proud to see the look on the soldiers faces knowing that someone cared enough about them and their sacrifices to come to the base and say ‘thank you.’

“The fact that we serve them the best steak dinner that many of them have ever had is just a bonus. Ultimately, it’s about saying thanks to those who serve us,” he said.

As the Steaks for Soldiers campaign winds down, the CCA would like to extend a special thank- you to the Dann’s for all their hard work over the years.

Breakfast Brief

Keep it in Focus

Grains started the month of August with a little oomph as the tension between Russian and the rest of the Western world continues to build. Moscow is building up its military resources on the eastern Ukrainian border, signed a five-year oil deal with Iran, announced a one-year ban on the import of various agricultural products including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, milk and dairy products, and nuts from the U.S., E.U., Australia, Canada, and Norway! (Sidenote: there is also a proposed airspace ban for E.U. and U.S. airlines being tabled by the Kremlin). This is fairly significant as ag imports in 2013 from the E.U. totaled $15.8 billion and $1.3 billion from the US. For Canada, the pork sector looks to be the one taking the biggest hit as from January to May, Canadian pork exports to Russia equaled $207 million, an increase of 103 per cent of the same period in 2013. Ironically, while Russia was the second largest buyer of American chicken last year, they are now playing political chicken with the Americans. Accordingly, the ban on agricultural trade could send food prices inside of Russia higher, given the fact that they import about one-third of their food consumption needs and are the fight-largest food importer in the world! The likely benefactors will likely be Latin & South America (especially the Brazilian meat sector), as well as other former Soviet Union states like Kazakhstan & Belarus. Moving forward, both new and old trade partners watch Russia earnestly as the situation continues to unfold.

Heading east, since the beginning of the year, China has imported 41.7 million tonnes of soybeans (including a record 7.47 million tonnes in July), an increase of 20% year-over-year. Why do China’s soybean imports continue to grow? Simply because of the cost of buying imported soybeans and crushing them is churning out a much bigger profit than buying domestically (the cost of soybeans on the Dalian commodity exchange is currently about $19.60/bushel). Nonetheless, rapeseed imports by China grew by 44 per cent year-over-year in the first nine months of the 2013/14 marketing year to 3.84 million tonnes. C.N.G.O.I.C. is estimating that China will import 4.5 million tonnes of rapeseed this year (USDA is at four million tonnes) as demand for livestock feed (i.e. canola meal) is growing.

Although crop ratings remain above the average, August is a crucial month for soybeans for crop development. Further, there are some reports of corn tip back occurring in a few major U.S. corn growing regions, which could downgrade average yield and total production numbers (tip back is where the corn ear does not fill all the way to the end). Thus, while axles are getting greased up for Harvest 2014, the next two-to-four weeks will be a crucial period to watch for. Wheat prices are starting to see a bit of a rally thanks to some drier conditions in the northern U.S. states, quality concerns in Europe, and the situation in Ukraine. Ultimately, crop development here in Western Canada is fairly variable but generally positive, with yields for spring wheat, canola, & durum reported to be all above their five-year averages. As your crop starts to come off, it’s important to keep focused on the realities. There’s still a lot of grain coming off in a lot of places so when there are some bounces in the market (i.e. durum looks “toppy” right now), make sales when you can, not when have to.

Marty Gilfillan - North Central Livestock Auction In this ever-changing world we live in, it’s important to be able to roll with the punches -- to keep pace with the way people do business. That’s what Marty Gilfillan is doing and he wants to help you do the same.

Oil technology could be next in tit for tat of sanctions war

This need for change has come about due to the cattle industry shifting away from small producers over the last 10 years. The people who have remained in business, have grown in size so they are able to market directly from the farm. Marty says he will still be taking care of orders he has with JBS Lakeside and various other feedlot orders for direct marketing to the feedlots and, going forward, is working to make arrangements with some of the trucking companies so that smaller producers can get their goods to a central market so they can get better prices to compete and keep their business running profitably.

Let Marty Gilfillan and North Central Livestock Auction help your business keep up with the changing times. Call Marty at 780-831-4399 or North Central Livestock Auction at 780348-5893 today!

Marty is a familiar face in the Peace Region. He worked for the Grande Prairie Livestock Market for 36 years, over 25 of those as General Manager, and raised a family in Grande Prairie during this time. He thoroughly enjoyed both, describing these years as a “great adventure”.

Now, Marty is on to other things. Len Hrehorets purchased the Nilsson Brothers Market in Clyde, Alberta, operating the business under its new name -- North Central Livestock Auction -- and has asked Marty to come work for him. Starting August 1st, Marty will be a Field Man for North Central Livestock Auction taking care of people working in the Peace Region.

Pork, poultry industries brace for impact of sanctions

by Russia From the website of CBC News (www.cbc.ca) Posted: Aug 07, 2014 5:03 PM ET Last Updated: Aug 08, 2014 7:12 AM ET The pork industry is one of the agricultural sectors that will “feel the pinch” of a year-long ban on Canadian agricultural exports to Russia, with as many as 1,000 containers of pork currently on the water en route to Russia.

Russia imposed sanctions on Wednesday against meat, fish, milk and dairy products, fruit and vegetables from Canada, the U.S., the European Union, Australia and Norway.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said the ban was a response to escalating sanctions against Russia, which have already put limits on currency exchange for its banks and technology exchanges.

As much as $50 million in frozen pork products may currently be in transit to Russia, according to Jim Laws, executive director of the Canadian Meat Council.

Important market Russia is the fourth most important market for Canadian pork, after the U.S., Japan and China, and sold about $260 million of product there last year, he said. That is down from about $358 million in 2012.

The industry has taken steps to work with the Russian meat industry, adapting its offerings, which include boneless hams and frozen swine products that cater to the Russian taste for sausage.

“This is an important market for Canada indeed. We’ve been a bit worried about this for the past several weeks with tensions rising between the two countries,” Laws told CBC News.

“We hope if consumers in Russia are affected in any way in terms of short supply or rising prices, the Russian government will reconsider its actions,” he said.

Quebec-based pork and poultry supplier Olymel, which calls Russia its No. 2 market, said it is going to try to find other markets for the products it usually sells to Russia.

Poultry, beef, seafood “While it is powerless to change the decision by the Moscow regime, Olymel will make every effort to find other outlets for products that were destined for the Russian market in order

to reduce the impact of this decision.

Olymel does not yet have full information concerning the application of this measure, and is thus unable to assess the consequences,” the company said in a statement.

Manitoba cattle producer Cheryl McPherson is bracing for the impact, on top of a labelling dispute that has cut into sales to the U.S. McPherson says Russia may not be Canada’s biggest market, but any restriction will hurt her bottom line.

“It feels like you’re left out. nobody realizes you’re out there and it’s affecting you,” she said.

Laws said the Canada Meat Council will work with the Russian and Canadian governments to try to get the shipments of meat currently en route to Russia diverted to other markets or returned to Canada.

Pork producers have been enjoying high prices as a virus that kills young pigs has hurt pork production in the U.S., he said.

“The only good news for us right now is pork supplies around the world are very tight and farmers have been enjoying record prices for the live animals – if it had to happen, this was a time it was least detrimental,” he said.

Seafood producers are also likely to be hurt “For lobster, Russia is a small but potentially good market,” said Geoff Irvine, head of the Lobster Council of Canada. “The biggest impact on seafood in Canada will be on northern shrimp, and maybe cheaper fish like Pacific hake and herring.”

Clearwater Seafoods head Ian Smith says the Russian market only accounts for three per cent of his company’s annual revenue, so the pain will be negligible.

“Clearwater has a very broad portfolio of products, a broad portfolio of markets and customers we deal with. The Russian market is about our frozen-at-sea coldwater shrimp and it’s one of many markets we sell to. ... Do we want to be selling shrimp in Russia?

Of course we do, and we expect that market will come back in the future,” he said.

Oil technology could be next But the bulk of Canada’s exports to Russia is in machinery and mechanical Continued on 20

Walter's great escape Sudetens living in Tomslake celebrate 75 years since their flight from Nazis Jonny Wakefield Staff Writer

It wasn't until the first bullets hit the side of their apartment building that Walter Schoen's parents decided it was time to go.

Up until then, Schoen said, his parents had been ardent anti-Nazis during Adolf Hitler's rise to power.

His father was a local leader in the Social Democratic Party, Czechoslovakia's organized political opposition to the Nazis. That made Walter a target.

"You remember things. I was beat up by my Grade 1 classmates over my father's politics," he recalled on

a sunny afternoon in the backyard of his Dawson Creek home.

"People here don't understand what politics is about."

Soon it became apparent that no European power was willing to check Hitler's ambition for lebensraum – "living space" for the German people.

When Britain, France and Italy accepted Hitler's plan to gobble up the Sudetenland, the mostly German-speaking areas of what was then Czechoslovakia, the country's anti-fascist groups were forced to flee.

Those rounds from a fascist mob set the Schoens and hundreds of other Czechs on a journey that would bring them to a dusty clearing by some railroad tracks in northeastern B.C.

Tomslake 75th Anniverysary highlights

DARREN GIERSCH PHOTOS

Celebrations on Sunday included a Ceremony and official wreath laying at the Sudeten Cemetery as well as an open house at the Tomslake Church, Museum and Library.

Continued from Page 8 “It was a culture shock,” said Schoen. By the time the rest of his cohort arrived, the rudimentary shelters had improved, but his family still spent two weeks in an army tent.

The settlement was run at first by an overbearing former army officer who issued orders from atop a white horse.

Eventually, the Sudetens became farmers, though few knew what to do around a cow or horse at first.

“There were little groups of men sent out to clear the land, and they’d never swung an axe,” Schoen said. “It was a steep learning curve.”

More than 40 of those men would join the Canadian Army after the war broke out, despite the government’s fear of arming German-speaking people who could have been considered enemy aliens. (The RCMP confiscated several .22 rifles from Tomslake residents during the war, which the Sudetens had purchased to hunt rabbits.)

Schoen himself was too young for service. He was educated at a small, tworoom school house, before relocating to Dawson Creek for Grades 9 through 12.

He would eventually teach at a number of schools in Dawson Creek, including a stints as principal and vice principal of Ecole Frank Ross.

Political refugees all, the Tomslake residents would later find themselves in disagreement over Canadian politics.

On the one side was Wilhelm Wanka, one of the original leaders of the community and a moderate. On the other was a group that had become enamored with the CCF, the forerunner of the NDP. That’s part of the reason, Schoen said, why there are two Sudeten halls in the South Peace.

“The two groups weren’t even talking to each other,” Schoen recalled.

“These people were strong enough politically that they had to leave their country. The difference isn’t totally dead yet.”

Old timers to this day recall the tensions, but Schoen said the schism is more of a historical curiosity.

As Tomslake enters its 75th year, Schoen says there is still a sense of history in the small community.

This year, he is one of two original settlers on a committee of around a dozen that is organizing anniversary events, which run today through Monday, including a barbecue and banquet on Saturday and a ceremony at the Sudeten Cemetery on Sunday.

“I’m happy that this group is interested in the history, even though they’re not originals,” he said. “The feeling of the history is still there.”

Accordion music entertained the crowds in Tomslake as people from across Canada, the United States and Europe came out to celebrate their Sudeten roots and connections.

Including 10 dignitaries, 320 people were registered in total for the weekend festivities. Among the spirited gathering that well exceeded the small community’s population, were 23 original settlers of Tomslake and St. Wahlberg, Sask.

A barbecue, desserts and drinks were had, and each participant wore a nametag tracing their ancestry or association with the Sudeten heritage.

Later in the day a banquet was held at the George Dawson Inn.

Colt Starting

First Ride, Then Guide To see the first 3 articles in this series please visit www.thehorseranch.com/articles/ Some of you are saying: “Finally, it’s time to ride!” and others would still like to spend more time on the ground. As far as these articles go, it’s time to talk about the first ride on your young horse. If you are just now joining us there are three articles written earlier that have got us to this point in starting a young horse.

We have been preparing the horse by building his confidence, earning his respect and using techniques or a language that the horse understands. Our horses are backing up, yielding their forequarters and hindquarters, moving sideways, circling when we ask, soft on the lead line, jumping barrels on line, carrying and walking over tarps, comfortable with a flag being rubbed all over them or waved around them in front, behind, over top and underneath. They are not scared of us on the ground or on their backs. They have gotten used to the feel of the saddle and move as freely with it on or off. It might seem like quite a list of things to have working well but it doesn’t take long and what you are doing is putting a foundation on the horse. Something you can build on now and in the future.

There is always more that can be done before taking the first ride but this seems to work well for me. There is one more thing that I’m not sure if I mentioned and that is having your horse easily and softly bending his head and neck right and left from the ground. Having him able to be soft in this area and not move his feet tells me that there isn’t any brace when I ask for that particular movement. A horse with a stiff neck and braced jaw is not a good sign.

Another check I like to do is slap the saddle with my hand, shake the stirrups, reach over and shake the off side stirrup which are all good preflight checks. If all is calm I step up in the saddle and step down, then repeat the same on the other side. When I’m standing in the stirrup I will reach over and rub the off side and the hindquarters where your foot might touch one-day when you are mounting or dismounting. The horse should be standing calmly for this and then I will swing my leg over and settle into the saddle. Be sure not to slam down in the saddle they will get hard to mount. Then get off and lead them forward or circle them if they seem to be tight and then get on again

once they look relaxed. The next step is to encourage them to move. Some want to move and others can get a bit sticky. I find the ones that want to move are my preference. I get them moving and allow them to get used to having a passenger. Where he goes doesn’t matter. All I’m interested in at this point is to get some walk, trot, and canter established. Once I have the horse understanding how to go up and back down in the three gaits that is when I would carefully and slowly start to guide them in where they are going.

Too much guiding too early takes away the forward in a horse. It is very hard to do much with a horse when the natural desire to go forward has been taken away.

They need to be comfortable to move their feet so you can do something with the feet. People spending days, weeks and in some cases months walking and trotting and not cantering, really is not a great idea.

PART 4

After they are moving freely and I have guided them by having them follow their nose I generally make sure my lateral flexion works from the saddle and start making it better. I want the horse to know and not forget that I’m in the saddle. (They actually can, and then get startled) I never want to sneak a ride by sitting there quietly. I try and stay active, moving, rubbing anything I can reach, slapping my leg, swinging my legs. Introducing him to things from the saddle. As soon as possible I want to ride with the flag and tarp making sure that they can handle all kinds off commotion from the saddle. We already showed them from the ground and have them very comfortable with these things so from the saddle shouldn’t be too much to ask. I want to be able to progress to cantering with the flag or tarp waving and the colt is relaxed Continued on 20 r001824802

Epistaxis in Horses Epistaxis is the medical term used to describe bloody discharge from the nose. Blood coming from the nose of your horse can be concerning. There can be many different medical causes of epistaxis. They can range from a minor bump to the nose causing hemorrhage (bleeding), to a major catastrophic emergency. Epistaxis can occur from the upper respiratory tract and also from the lower respiratory tract (lungs). A horse breaths exclusively through its nose due to the anatomic location of structures like the soft palate.

The most obvious causes of epistaxis occur after a traumatic incident to the nose, head, throat, neck or chest. Treatment is usually symptomatic and varies according to the degree and location of the trauma.

One fairly common cause of bloody noses in horses happens after strenuous exercise. This condition is called EIPH, or Exercise Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage. This is commonly found in race horses and these animals are labeled as a “Bleeder” once it is detected. This bleeding starts in the lowest portion of the respiratory tract, down in the microscopic air sacs of the lungs. When a horse inhales rapidly under exercise, a massive negative pressure occurs within the air sac. At the same time, high blood pressure creates a large positive pressure in the capillaries around the air sac. Extreme pressure difference causes these cap-

illaries rupture into the air sac and blood eventually makes its way up and out the nose. A large percentage of EIPH horses may never show external signs of bleeding and the only symptom may be decreased exercise tolerance. Risk factors for the disease include viral infections, pneumonia, allergic disease, and upper airway obstructions. Animals can be treated for the inciting cause, and also treated with a diuretic prior to running which helps lower the blood pressure and mitigate the massive pressure differential that leads to the bleed. Nasal dilator strips have also been used to help decrease the incidence.

Another cause of epistaxis, which can be life threatening, is caused by a fungal infection in the guttural pouches of the horse. The guttural pouches in a horse are large air filled chambers which are actually huge out-pouchings of the auditory tube. This is the tube in humans that equalizes pressure between your inner ear and your throat. In equines this large guttural pouch contains many structures, including nerves and the very large internal carotid artery. When a fungal infection occurs it quite often takes up residence on the high pressure, large carotid artery, stealing nutrients from the blood flow. Once the fungus has eroded into the artery enough it can rupture, and a massive catastrophic bleed can result. These bleeds have a very fast onset and can be fatal. In cases that

August fundraiser includes photos with pets and a BBQ for SPCA, pets will be on site for adoption - Saturday, Aug 23 This summer, Create-a-Portrait is partnering with the Grande Prairie SPCA for a special pet-friendly promotion! During the month of August, friends and families are invited to visit Create-a-Portrait for mini drop-in portrait sessions with their pets, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the SPCA. Then on August 23rd from 11am-3pm, they will be hosting a BBQ lunch, where the community will have a chance to meet with representatives from the Grande Prairie SPCA and a few of the pets they have available for adoption – again, proceeds will benefit the SPCA. Everyone is welcome! Lyneah Watson, manager at Create-a-Portrait, says it’s a fun fundraiser.

BBQ for the SPCA Date: August 23, 2014, 11am – 3pm Location: Create-a-Portrait in the Eye West Plaza – North End “The Grande Prairie & District SPCA is thrilled to be partnering with Create-a-Portrait for the Pet Portrait Promotion and the Dog Days of Summer BBQ. We believe all proud pet owners and animal lovers should have professional quality photos taken with

their beloved pet; those pictures capture wonderful memories and the special bond people have with their pets forever. We are so grateful to Create-A-Portrait for contributing a portion of their proceeds to the GPSPCA. This is truly a fun fundraiser and we can’t wait to see some wonderful photos of precious pets and their proud owners. Also we look forward to seeing everyone out for the BBQ!” – Tracey Dawdy, Fund Development Coordinator GP SPCA “Many of our clients enjoy photos with their pets, and since they are animal lovers, we’d like to do this for the SPCA. We also think it’s a great way for people to consider the SPCA for their next pet.” – Lyneah Watson, manager of Create-a-Portrait For more information: Lyneah Watson Manager – Create-a-Portrait 780-539-7969 Tracey Dawdy Fund Development Coordinator Grande Prairie & District SPCA 780.538.4030 ext 118

are not fatal, surgery can be performed to close up the internal carotid artery, which starves the fungus and usually eliminates the risk of future bleeding.

Several other conditions like tumors, blood clotting disorders, foreign bodies, or sinus infections may also cause epistaxis. A good physical exam from your veterinarian is usually needed to find the cause.

Quite often an endoscopic exam is needed to have a look up into the horse’s nose, to find the origin of the bleed. Endoscopy is a procedure which uses flexible fiber optic technology to look inside the animal and help visualize or diagnose the hemorrhage. At the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic we have two endoscopes that can be used for this purpose. www. dcvet.ca Dr. Mike Ross DVM

Gina Teel CCA Communications Ma The latest in a long line of studies attacking cattle production for its environmental impact was quickly brought up short in the social media sphere for using outdated data and incorrect assumptions to formulate its conclusions. The CCA’s tweets in response to the online flurry of ‘beef is bad’ news stories following the study’s release received the most views of all @ CdnCattlemen tweets issued that week. However,

in what is unfortunately becoming all too common an occurrence, the study in question presented an incorrect picture of beef production to the world and told consumers to eschew eating beef. The study’s wrong-headed conclusion was handily autopsied in a Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) blog, Hot Air Doesn’t Just Come From Cattle.

Studies like this deserve to be taken to task.

Missing is any iota of the wealth of readily available research and information that would lend balance and context to the conclusion. Portraying beef as environmentally unfriendly is a default position typically due to a researchers’ narrow focus on the methane produced by rumen bacteria. Here the issue has to do with relying upon a Life Cycle Analysis which is designed to only add up the environmental costs, not the environmental benefits. In order to present a more complete picture it is necessary to take a look at what beef production provides, i.e. biodiversity and carbon sequestration.

Consumers – including Sir Richard Branson, as CCA Manager of Environment and Sustainability Fawn Jackson suggested in her response to his blog about why he no longer eats beef – deserve to have a better understanding of beef production than the image painted by the latest anti-livestock production study. One way to achieve this would be to take part in the Beef Advocacy Canada program. However should Branson accept Jackson’s invite to come and see Canada’s beef production system in action, he would learn that beef cattle are often raised on land that is unsuitable for producing grain or vegetable crops and eat grasses that people can’t digest. This land could be cultivated to try and grow food crops but this process would destroy natural habitat and wildlife. (Think back to the Dirty Thirties for an example of what happens when crops are produced on land best suited to grazing.) Grazing cattle on this land more than doubles the land area that can be used to For Sale: Purebred Simmental Heifer produce food 30+ in Canada.

Moreover, the same rangelands and pasture cattle graze on play a huge role in maintaining plant

biodiversity, wildlife habitats, watersheds, and reducing soil erosion and greenhouse gases. Pasture lands are the preferred habitat for many species of Canadian wildlife, including some species that have been identified as being at risk. Cattle grazing was recognized as a positive practice that can help to preserve habitat for birds in the 2012 State of Canada’s Birds report.

The report said the inclusion of bison, beef and other range-fed meat in the human diet encourages the retention of pasture land.

Sound stewardship of the land base is something Canadian cattle producers have always done. The CCA has recognized this annually since 1996 through The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA). The advent of Ecosystems Services markets present an emerging opportunity for agricultural producers to be compensated to produce the beneficial environmental outcomes described here, through using many of these same management practices.

Another fact routinely ignored by such studies is that efficiencies in genetics, feed production and technologies enable Canada to produce as much beef today as it did 60 years ago, but on 45 million fewer acres. Producing more beef by using a lot less water and feed is good for farm economics, and helps keep

sustainability improvements in the Canadian beef industry.

Together these studies will provide a look back analysis (Cluster) and a look forward (CRSB) to ideals and clear paths to reach those targets. The information will be publically available to researchers and will help to bring a more complete and certainly accurate picture to consumers.

All food production has an environmental footprint. Canada’s beef industry is working to continually improve the environmental footprint of beef production and, as the Cluster and CRSB studies show, is very focused on responsible resource utilization and more efficient use of natural resources.

beef affordable for consumers. At the same time, improvements in feed efficiency mean that less greenhouse gas and manure is produced per pound of beef.

Beef cattle production may be complex but clearly most people will recognize that all of these outcomes are positive for the environment.

As BCRC’s Dr. Reynold Bergen notes in his blog post, Canada’s beef industry prefers that government policy and regulation be developed on the basis of sound science. To this end, Canadian researchers are working to provide a broader and more balanced perspective to the impact of beef cattle production. A study, defining the environmental footprint of Canadian beef production, is currently underway, funded

by National Check-off and Beef Science Cluster. The study will model how changes in industry practices have impacted the Canadian beef industry’s environmental impact over the past 30 years.

Another study through the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) will look forward. The studyis underway to benchmark and set targets for

There is nothing softer than a young horse started correctly and it is always fun and enjoyable to see how soft and willing you can teach them to be. It is ours to have and ours to loose. I was talking with someone the other day and I remarked, “To me starting a young horse is kind of like getting clean piece of paper to draw a picture on. As I draw my picture I hope after each day it becomes clearer and easy to make out. The paper is thin and the pencil is sharp so I must be very careful not to accidently poke a hole in it. I don’t want a picture that has holes in it that I had to patch up.” Have fun and a safe ride.

of the bit as a tool for refinement and at this point there isn’t anything to refine yet. If you get a walk, trot, canter with your young horse plus turns, lateral flexion, backup and some flag and tarp action from the saddle that would be a great session for the first ride and he would be ready for the day off to think about it all.

The next day I would do all my ground exercises again much of it with the saddle on. I go through my steps for mounting, then the riding where I allow the colt to just get moving and then the guiding exercises as well as the flag and tarp. Everyday, I am creating more depth to their confidence, respect and understanding. You will find that the exercises are quicker and easier each day with a more relaxed horse.

Anything that you have been doing on the ground with your horse such as sending them over barrels or walking over a tarp you can start to ask them to do while your in the saddle. Around the third or fourth ride I will start to ask for them to go sideways from the saddle by turning my toe out pushing with one leg and opening the other. I use my Horseman’s stick from the saddle with rhythmic pressure to support what my leg or rein is asking. This is done very much like we did on the ground with their nose to the fence and only a step or two at first and then more as they understand. Also every time I pick up the rein on the halter I look for, wait for, and encourage softness before the maneuver. Always offering and helping them learn to follow a feel with their nose, neck, ribs, hips and shoulders.

Continued from 6 appliances, aerospace and transport sectors, areas that have not yet been hit by sanctions.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper indicated yesterday that sanctions may be extended to cover the oil technology sector.

That might be a good next step, said David Gordon, a former director of policy planning with the U.S. State Department, now head of research at the Eurasia Group.

“The U.S. in its sanctions began that already last week and the week before. The EU has gone there on gas and oil, the U.S. going to go there on gas as well.

The technology is really advanced in North America and so I think here is where the substantial role for Canada is,” Gordon said in an interview with CBC’s The Lang & O’Leary Exchange.

He said he believes the restrictions on the banks and on high-tech exchanges are already hurting Russia and the move to ban agricultural exports may have more impact in Russia than they do in Canada.

“It’s probably going to create more pain within Russia than it does for any of its counterparts,” he said, adding “I do think for Russian middle-class consumers, they’re not going to be happy about this.”

Gordon believes Russia will not go as far as cutting off gas supplies to Europe, though it has already signed a deal to sell to China.

“Russia is really going to need the revenues from gas,” he said and won’t want to frighten Asian customers.

“Part of what the Asians are going to watch very carefully – Is Russia going to politicize the export of energy? If the answer to that is yes, that is going to make them a much less attractive partner,” he said.

Pre-harvest disease watch gears up FARM CREDIT CANADA AUGUST 1, 2014

by Allison Finnamore Producers should start their preharvest disease watch now, according to the Canola Council of Canada.

Yield-robbing levels of disease are easy to spot in canola fields now and up until harvest, the council says.

“Knowing what diseases you have at the end of the season is the only way to know how successful your disease management strategies have been this year and what you need to do for 2015 in order to be disease-free,” says Clint Jurke, agronomy specialist with the council.

“You only get one small window to do this well. Do not let it slip by.”

CCC has released a new pre-swatch disease scouting video available here.

The video offers advice on proper identification, tips and close-up views of typical damage from major diseases.

Three major stem diseases -- blackleg, clubroot and sclerotinia stem rot -are more easily identified in the weeks leading up to harvest, the council states.

Areas of the field with prematurely ripening plants and excessive lodging are signs that any one of these three diseases could be present. Here are tips from CCC to identify each: Blackleg: Pull up diseased plants and use garden clippers to slice through

‘Since 1957’

the stem just below ground level. Look for blackened tissue inside the stem, a distinguishing feature of blackleg. If more than half the area of the stem is blackened, blackleg has likely reduced the yield of that plant.

Clubroot: Carefully dig up diseased-looking plants and look for galls on roots. If clubroot is present, the plant will have large galls at the base of the stem.

Sclerotinia stem rot: As the infected stem dries, it becomes bleached or brown. Twist the infected stem. If it shreds apart, the disease is likely sclerotinia stem rot. Hard, black sclerotia bodies -- similar in appearance to mouse droppings -- found inside these bleached stems are a sure sign of sclerotinia stem rot.

CCC says other diseases easier to identify in the weeks leading up to harvest are alternaria black spot and aster yellows. Alternaria tends to be more common in Polish canola and is rarely a problem in napus canola. Look for small black spots that move up the plant, eventually reaching the pods.

Obvious symptoms of aster yellows are the malformed bladder-like pods, which produce little to no yield.

The disease can also result in normallooking pods that contain only a few misshapen seeds.

Mapping the wheat genome FCC EXPRESS - Aug 1 2014

Experts say it will be another three years before the entire wheat genome is sequenced.

Dr. Curtis Pozniak, a wheat breeder and geneticist at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, says wheat has many more genes than other crops. Scientists from around the world have been working on gene sequencing for nearly a decade.

The international consortium was started by researchers in Kansas. It now has more than 1,000 members from

around the world specializing in DNA sequencing, complex computational biology, genetics and plant breeding.

Sequencing technology has evolved over the past five years, Pozniak explains.

“Our group has been working with the consortium for the past couple of years,” Pozniak says. “We recognize the importance, as breeders, of having a high quality referenced sequence. Having our group at the university lead a project contributing to the consortium is worthwhile.”

at Genome Prairie, points out genome sequencing is important for future breed development.

“Farmers in Canada and around the world must significantly increase production to feed more than nine billion people by 2050,” Barker says. “Clear knowledge of the wheat genome is essential to allow developers to produce wheat varieties to meet these challenges.”

Wheat is the third largest volume crop in the world behind corn and rice.

However, it’s grown over the largest area (215 million hectares or 531 million acres) because it’s able to thrive in a wide range of environments. Sequencing the wheat genome will help plant breeders develop improved varieties to meet the challenges of world population growth and climate change.

The Saskatoon-based team is sequencing one of the 21 chromosomes present in wheat, and Pozniak believes that work will be finished in eight to ten months.

Bee losses decline

wintering losses reached a whopping 46.4 per cent, Manitoba Agriculture reports.

This past winter, losses were 23.9 per cent.

“Beekeepers with low losses typically identified queen problems and starvation as the leading causes of mortality,” says Rhéal Lafrenière, apiculturist with Manitoba Agriculture.

The survey’s findings represented 50.5 per cent of the province’s colonies.

Winterkill was highest in northwestern Manitoba at 35 per cent. Lafrenière says the higher losses there appear to be related to a high concentration of fall aster honey, which has been reported by many beekeepers as poor feed for winter bees.

Canada’s total winterkill for 2013-14 also fell, down to 25 per cent from 28.6 per cent the year before. The highest level was reached in Ontario at 58 per cent, but when their numbers are removed, the national bee mortality drops to 19.2 per cent. That level of winter loss, though, is still considered high for most beekeepers, who target a maximum of 15 per cent.

B.C. had the lowest winterkill at 15 per cent and Quebec too saw improved survival.

“It was encouraging to hear that Quebec reported 18 per cent winterkill in 2014,” says Nasr. “This is the lowest reported winterkill in Quebec in comparison to previous years.”

To ensure continued survival this growing season, Nasr urges communication and co-operation between beekeepers and farmers.

“Bees go to crops when they are in bloom to collect pollen and nectar. If crops are sprayed while bees are foraging in the field, it can be devastating,” he says.

FCC EXPRESS - Aug 1 2014 A greater percentage of bees survived last winter in Alberta, Manitoba and most of the rest of Canada than a year ago.

“Overall, beekeepers reported that 18.5 per cent of Alberta bees died during the 2013-14 winter,” says Alberta’s apiculturist Medhat Nasr. A year ago, beekeepers reported that 23.8 per cent of Alberta bees died during the winter season.

Alberta Agriculture surveyed a group of commercial beekeepers who operate over 90 per cent of honey bee colonies in the province. Seventy-six per cent responded.

Nasr says beekeepers attribute their losses to a cold spring and poor quality queens. An outbreak of the Nosema pathogen, which was tied to the late spring and resulting confinement of bees inside beehives for a longer period, was also cited as a factor. Varroa infestation, however, ranked at the bottom of the list of possible bee colony losses.

“It was reported that Varroa was under control in most operations in 2013-14,” says Nasr. “The application of Apivar in early spring for Varroa control has proven, at this point, to be the most effective treatment time to keep healthy colonies through the season and for wintering.”

But in cases where fall treatment was late, winterkill was high.Alberta’s longer-term bee winterkill rates have been on the decline, dropping from 30 to 40 per cent between 2007 and 2010 to between 15 and 24 per cent over the last four years. Overall, the average winterkill in Alberta is 20 per cent in the past four years.

In Manitoba, 2013-14 looked a lot closer to normal than the previous year, when

Grasshoppers plaguing local farmers William Stodalka Staff Writer

The Peace Region is experiencing “a bit of a plague” of grasshoppers, according to local farmers.

Irmi Critcher, a director with the Grain Growers of Canada, said that Peace Region farmers are dealing with a high number of grasshoppers. And in some cases, the bugs could wipe out 50 per cent of crop yields this year.

“We are experiencing more severe grasshopper population than normal years,” she said. “Every farmer will have a look at it and see how much damage they're doing to their crop and trying to come up with a strategy with some expert advice on how to deal with it.”

This will not only affect farmers who grow crops, but also ranchers, since they rely on hay to feed their animals in the winter. These grasshoppers love to eat hay as much or more than live plants, Critcher said, which means animals.

Critcher said that the increase in grasshoppers is almost certainly due to the dry summer the region is experiencing – and these drier years “seems to be more than they were in the past.”

She said the B.C. Grain Producers Association hired Arlan Benn, an expert on the issue, to try and study the problem and help out farmers.

Benn explained that the dry conditions helped these insects speed up their development cycle, and allowed them to

get into their “eating” stage more quickly.

The bulk of the infestation is coming from the striped grasshopper and the migratory grasshopper – two species that are commonly associated with outbreaks, and that top the list of grasshopper species for how much money they can cost farmers.

These pests develop in ditches, and others are moving out when farmers come to knock out their hay crops – both of which may mean that Peace Region drivers have a few more specks on their windshield than most.

“At this point in the season, they've been developing all year,” Benn said.

“They'll start moving in packs – you'll see them all over the road.”

But the more serious damage is being inflicted on crops. Benn said he was still not sure as to how much damage the grasshoppers could cause on the Peace Region overall.

“I know as far as the distribution of the damage, it’s not widespread across the entire area,” he said. “It’s fairly patchy.”

According to Benn, most of the damage was done on farms north of Fort St. John.

But for farmers throughout the Northeast, the only viable option now would be spraying their crops with chemicals to stop these ‘hoppers, he said.

But even once this is done, the bug parade won’t be. Critcher said that farmers

may have to face other pests like armyworms and lygus bugs in the fall.

And she said the grasshopper problem may get worse, too.

“If this fall is really extended and warm, we could see a similar problem next year,” said Benn.

The Northern Horizon, August 15, 2014

On the open road The Ride Into History for the Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope I was absolutely blessed to partake in the Ride into History.

Mother Nature cooperated with me as I rode into Langley and Holeshot Racing where I was to hook up with my host for the next two evenings, Marq Smith.

Marq used to own Western Powersports!

I stopped in at Barnes Harley-Davidson and got to see Kevin Chow, who has moved from Kamloops HD over to Barnes, while I waited for Mark to be done work.

I also got to finally install the highway pegs on my bike thanks to Waylon in parts!

Marq and I headed over to Fort Langley when he got off work and what I saw there truly took my breath away – there were amazing antique and vintage cars and bikes on hand, lots of vendors and a fully portable stage where we would be treated to a wide variety of entertainment.

The quality of the vehicles on hand was nothing short of impressive!

The evening was filled with magic as the various presenters and speakers shared their stories. In between the speeches and stories a solo guitarist took

the stage as did the headliner, Randy “Elvis” Friske. I cannot remember the name of the solo entertainer, but he was some talented.

Both entertainers did an amazing job and both had people up and dancing and singing.

The kids in particular loved “Elvis” who was utterly incredible. He danced with them, walked into the crowd and made us feel a part of the show. His band was fabulous and man can this dude imitate Elvis!

After the evening festivities we over, Marq took me to his home where I stayed both Friday and Saturday evening. I want to thank him and his family for taking me in!

We were up bright an early on Saturday morning to go on the ride. Mother Nature blessed this ride with ideal riding weather.

We were treated to a pancake breakfast hosted by the Lion’s Club. The ride Captain from the Greater Vancouver Motorcycle Club called us all together for a riders meeting.

The route that had been chosen had historical significance as each stop is planned for it’s historical significance, it’s all part of the Ride into History theme!

We were given a booklet with the route information in case we got separated from the group, which sadly happened pretty quickly.

Thank goodness one of the guys in our group knew the region and we ended up getting to the Birchwood Dairy in Chilliwack before the lead group did! I didn’t have any ice

cream but I was told that every rider in the region comes here on short rides, as the ice cream is phenomenal.

From here on in we had a vested rider with us so we didn’t get lost for the rest of the day!

We next took in the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association Museum also in Chilliwack.

Our next stop was lunch at Cultus Lake where we were treated to a meal of wraps and veggies for dipping. We also had wonderful fruit kebabs for dessert!

Sadly one jerk in a white Dodge damned near backed into a rider and acted like we riders were being asses when we began to holler at him to stop saying I have a back up camera – and then using some verbal diarrhea on us. We insisted he’d best leave instead of being a rude human being.

We had a leisurely ride back into Langley and the Gateway of Hope.

This amazing facility offers far more than a shelter. It offers all sorts of counseling and job retraining programs. In fact, the resident members of the cooking program at the Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope made the lunch we had at Cultus Lake!

We were treated to some rodeo games for about an hour and a half.

We had a blast watching and cheering on the participants.

At about 5pm we were ushered into the centre for our dinner, which was catered by Milestones, a local restaurant that is very popular.

We heard from all kinds of dignitaries

and

took part in the many gift giveaways that took place. Dinner was absolutely marvelous, a beautiful roast beef with veggies and potatoes was served and an amazing chocolate pecan cake closed it off!

The Gateway of Hope is so far much more than a shelter and their ride fee was ridiculously low for everything a person got for the $65 ride fee.

Pancake breakfast, a wonderful lunch, impressive dinner, a tee shirt and a pin!

If you live in the region, this event is a must do. While there were a few challenges with the poker run and not enough outriders in the middle and back of the pack, it was an amazing event.

Thank you to the Salvation Army, the 3 credit unions who joined forces to help this amazing centre (Aldergrove Financial Group, Envision Financial and Prospera Credit Union), the mayor and town of Langley and all of the vendors and volunteers that made this event so memorable!

Watch for coverage on this event on Ride like a Local on YouTube. The episode should air end on October or early November.

Some of the best crops in Western Canada are in northwest Saskatchewan and parts of eastern Alberta.

That was the assessment following last week’s crop tour organized by the CWB. Three separate tours travelled a combined 7,000 kilometres in all three Prairie provinces. The only area not included was the Peace River region in northwest Alberta and northeast B.C. “The most consistent and best crops we saw were in the North Battleford area and west into northeastern Alberta,” says Bruce Burnett, CWB crops and weather specialist. “Those crops are a little further advanced, so there is less quality risk. The yield potential in these areas are similar to last year.”

It’s a different story over eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba.

Excessive rain drowned crops or hurt yield potential. An estimated 3.5 to four million acres have been lost to flooding.

Burnett says crop development is up to two weeks behind normal.

“In these delayed areas, the average crop is in the early filling stage. That would mean the crop is going to mature somewhere around Labour Day, as long as we get some reasonable temperatures,” Burnett says.

“We certainly need to see a frost occur after that point in time. Some of the later fields in the northern growing areas, we might need until about Sept.

15 to avoid frost damage to wheat and canola crops. There is a lot of canola in northern Saskatchewan that is still in full bloom right now (last week of July).”

Based on current conditions, Burnett anticipates better than average Western Canadian grain and oilseed production.

However, it will be smaller than last year’s record crop. The average canola yield is estimated at 34 bushels an acre, spring wheat 43 bushels an acre and 48 bushels an acre for durum.
