THE NORTHERN HORIZON

Byron Hackett Alaska Highway News August 31-2015 The school bells aren’t yet ringing and lunches weren’t quite packed for the first day of school, but in Doig River this weekend many high schoolers in the peace had a first of their own.

More than 80 cowboys and cowgirls crowded the rodeo grounds in Doig River for the kickoff of the British Columbia High School Rodeo Association season.

It was a first for the BCHSRA as they held their kickoff rodeo at the First Nation just 60 kilometres north of Fort St. John and for volunteer Jackie Roberts, the experience was great for everyone involved.

“It’s absolutely amazing,” she said.

High school rodeo kids from all over the north took part in the first event of the new BCHSRA season this weekend in Doig River “When we were approached about them offering [the arena] to high school rodeo, it was greatly appreciated first of all. The sponsorship they have provided, the grounds, all the work that they have done has been amazing. We have this facility that they feel only gets used once a year and they love to give to the kids. They were very proud to host a high school rodeo out here and we are honoured to have our first rodeo of the year here.”

Not only was it the first time in Doig River, it was also the first time for many of the rodeo future stars to show off their talent in the area.

“There are a lot of beginners here for the junior— junior is grade 6, ,7, 8. So grade six they come on and this is their very first rodeo of the season. There are a lot of nerves, anticipation; parents are nervous as well.

It’s a great club for the kids to be a part of and to grow and get experience,” Roberts explained on Saturday.

That included young Kali Atkings, 11, whose family has a deep tradition in the rodeo game and she found it to be a natural transition into the sport. The family ties run so deep that Atkings’ Nana even encouraged her to

“I was being lead [around barrels] since I was four,” Atkings said about her initial introduction into barrel racing. “My sister did it, my mom did it, my nana rodeoed, I’m really happy to be doing it.”

Roberts knows all about getting started in the high school rodeo as she got her twin boys, Wade and Tyrel started three years ago and has loved the experience ever since.

“I absolutely love this experience for my boys to grow up in. I believe it’s the family camaraderie that’s just unlike any other sport that I’ve been involved in.

And that’s probably the biggest thing is the personal development that they each gain for their confidence,” she said.

That confidence can be seen by just about any kid who steps in to the rodeo arena, whether nervous or not, the community of their peers are there to support them— even when they get ready for an interview.

Auzyn Corr, 12, was not shy about his passion to be interviewed and the second year rodeo wonder kid who competes in just about every event the high school sport has to offer said it’s all about having a good time.

“I started out last year and the only thing I didn’t do is saddle bronc,” the youngster said confidently.

“I was kind of nervous today when I got on my first one.”

Dealing with those nerves can sometimes be difficult, but the Roberts twins who have moved up to the senior circuit this year have been around the block and learned the ins and outs of high school rodeo.

They had a few tips for those who are getting starting in the game.

“Just practice a lot and have fun,” Wade said.

His brother Tyrel expanded on that idea.

“It’s a lot of fun, I love doing it and the people are really nice,” he added.

And at the end of the day, beyond having fun, something the kids don’t see the whole value of is the experience and how it will effect their daily lives. That's something the twins’ mother Jackie has already seen with her boys and plenty of the other kids who are regulars in the high school rodeo arena.

“I think one of the biggest things is the personal development that all the kids get to grow within themselves— their self confidence, their self esteem,” she said.

“They can take this out not just in the rodeo arena, but they can take it into their life. With all their experience and their support that they have through their teammates and their parents because it is one family affair.”

The next BCHSRA- North Region rodeo will be in Hudson’s Hope on September 19.

Cereal and oilseed prices across the globe continue to face headwinds thanks to decent growing and harvest conditions, as well as the negative economic indicators that are coming out of China, the world’s largest consumer of commodities. Between lower manufacturing activity, lower consumer spending, their stock market dropping fast and fiercely, the government cutting interest rates, and possibly a removal of the minimum state support price for corn growers (prices are about 30% above imported prices, there’s a lot of questions as to how to – and if – the can rebound. As such, should we be surprised that the C.R.B. Index (a global measurement of all commodities) is at its lowest level since December 2002?

What’s not low is the price that Russian producers think they’re getting for their wheat. Currency moves are being credited with the Black Sea earning so much business but numbers are down in Russia so far this marketing year. While the size of the wheat harvest in Russia is now pegged at more than 60 million tonnes, the current wheat export tax is limiting just how much incentive there is to ship product out of the country.

Usually, a weaker currency means more exports (cheaper for international buyers to buy the same amount of product as their currency is worth more than they country they’re buying from), but that’s just not the case in Russia. I.K.A.R. research suggests that Russian wheat prices today costs about $184/MT USD, down about 24 per cent from a year ago. However, since the start of July (when the export tax was introduced), wheat prices in Russian rubles have grown 20 per cent to 12,700, an indication of how deceptive a currency devaluation can be. Why? The price looks great to the farmer, but it’s the lowest in the rest of the world in globalized terms. Further, when you realize that things like crop inputs have to be imported, the cost of those products are significantly higher because you’re buying them in foreign currency, which are now more expensive to buy as your money is worth less. (Be careful wishing for too low of a Canadian Loonie!)

Another question that everyone is asking is where exactly is this El Nino event that the scientists and cloud-watchers say is around the corner. Contrasting the data, Western Australia looks like it’s going to get good rains from now through November, which can be a critical growing period for wheat (especially significant considering they produce 1/3 of all of the country’s output). Yes, the data shows that this El Nino event could be one of the strongest on record, but as more scientists are pointing out, we still have more questions than answers. What markets could this affect the most? Taking a look at some charts from previous El Nino years, any rallies were relatively short-lived (i.e. 6-10 weeks). Pulse prices could benefit the most, which seems incredible given where prices are right now. A drier system in Asia would negatively impact the ability for all potential acres in India to be realized, in turn meaning bigger price points for things like lentils and peas (assuming demand remains stable). That being said, today’s pulse crop prices are profitable, and we’re not surprised farmers are taking advantage of these levels on the FarmLead Marketplace – holding on to some product for later sales isn’t wrong, but holding onto all of it is when you can lock in profits today.

Farm families honoured in Grande Prairie agri-news SEPTEMBER 7, 2015

Alberta families, who have farmed or ranched the same land for 100 years or more, are being recognized through the Government of Alberta’s Century Farm and Ranch Awards.

“Our province’s farm families are the heart of rural Alberta, and the ongoing success of the agriculture sector depends greatly on their hard work and commitment. It is an honour to recognize families who have contributed so much to their communities and built a tremendous legacy through many generations.”

- Oneil Carlier, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry “I am very proud of what my grandparents did, and the huge effort they, and my parents, put in to build our farm. It is good for the Alberta government to recognize that these people have made a very big contribution to the history and development of Alberta.

It’s important for our kids to see the heritage and what these pioneers have built for us.”

- Dan Doll of Fairview, award recipient Recipients of the Century Farm and Ranch Award receive a bronze plaque to commemorate this significant mile-

Teaching Children about Agriculture agri-news SEPTEMBER 7, 2015

If you are looking for volunteer opportunities to teach children about agriculture, there are lots of options.

“One of those is the City Slickers Harvest, which is being put on September 18 by the Stony Plain Multicultural Heritage Centre,” says Karen Carle, agricultural education consultant, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Red Deer. “The centre is going to host over 1,100 grades four and five students and they are looking for volunteers to escort the classes to the various learning stations. It’s a great chance to connect with kids and local commodity groups.”

Another group to consider for volunteer opportunities is the Classroom Agriculture Program.

“This group is currently recruiting vol-

stone. A total of 58 families are being recognized across the province this year, including 13 families who were honoured in Grande Prairie on August 30.

Since 1993, more than 1,500 families have received Century Farm and Ranch Awards.

Agriculture is the province’s largest renewable industry, with exports valued at more than $9 billion annually. There are more than 43,000 farms in Alberta totaling 50.5 million acres.

Alberta Century Farm and Ranch Award recipients recognized at this event: The Bartlett Family of Fairview

unteers to go into classrooms in the winter and spring. The volunteers give a one hour presentation that is partially decided by the program, but which also includes time for the presenter to speak on their own agricultural experiences.”

As well, agriculture societies, industry associations and commodity groups often have volunteer opportunities.

Carle says agricultural education is important because so many children are removed from the food production system.

“When we do educate children about agriculture, we’re also educating the teachers and parents as well. And, there’s nothing more effective than hearing the stories first-hand from producers. It’s the sort of thing children remember and carry with them into adulthood.”

Stocks at Primary Elevators- Week 4

Rycroft Rage Crowned Wheatbelt Champions The Rycroft Rage captured their third Wheatbelt Baseball League title in the past five years with an exciting 3-2 win over the regular season champion Grande Prairie Brewers in the fifth and deciding game of this year’s playoffs.

The Rage took an early lead and played good team defense to hold off the Brewers despite the Grande Prairie team missing a number of opportunities to score and leaving a number of men on base during the game.

The Rycroft Rage (3rd place in the regular season with a 8-7-0 record) got to the final by defeating the second place Peace River Stampeders (11-4-0) three games to one in the best-of-five semifinal series. The regular season champion Grande Prairie Brewers (12-3-0) reached the final by easily defeating the fourth place Grimshaw Huskies (6-9-0) in three straight games.

The Northern Horizon, September 11, 2015

Time running out for B.C. to modernize water laws Like m a n y British Columbia farmers this summer, Lorne Hunter has been struggling with dry soil and early crops.

“I’ve only got one irrigator and 160 acres to cover,” said Hunter, who farms near Salmon Arm. “The ground dries out faster than I can go over it a second time.”

Hunter doesn’t pay any fees for his water use because he uses groundwater from an aquifer underneath his farm, not water from a stream or lake.

That’s about to change. With the rewriting of B.C.’s century-old Water Act, groundwater will be licensed in the province for the first time. B.C. was one of the only jurisdictions in North America to leave groundwater unlicensed and largely unaccounted for.

“You can’t manage what you don’t know, both in volume and location and the interconnectedness of … surface water and bedrock water,” said Hunter, who will have to license his two wells and pay around $250 extra a year.

Water experts are praising the new act but are also warning that without adequate staffing and money to manage water and enforce the new rules, the precious resource will continue to flow down the drain.

Much attention has been focused on Nestlé’s water bottling operations near Hope, after media reports about Nestlé highlighted the lack of regulation around groundwater.

Public outrage has continued over the $2.25 per million litre fee – considered by many to be too low – that Nestlé will pay un-

der the new water law.

But the issue goes beyond Nestlé: most industrial and municipal users could stand to pay much more than has been proposed, said Deborah Curran, a University of Victoria law professor.

“There is so much more that we need to spend on water administration and management that we could increase the rents significantly before even getting into the issue of whether we are selling water or not,” said Curran, referring to fears that increasing the cost for water bottlers could lead to the commodification of water.

Fees for B.C. water could be raised to 10 times what they are today and still be competitive with other jurisdictions, Curran said.

Those higher fees could then be used to manage water, something experts agree is becoming increasingly pressing as more frequent droughts are expected in the future.

Curran noted that a fee hike would have to reflect how different sectors use water.

For instance, agriculture would need to be charged less in order to remain profitable, while urban household users could stand to pay more.

Business in Vancouver previously reported on oil and gas companies paying between $3.50 and $5 per cubic metre for water in B.C. That compares with the $2.25 per 1,000 cubic metres (equal to one million litres) that the province plans on charging for both surface and ground water.

Even as the effects of climate change are felt across w e s t e r n North America, it’s going to take a long time before the new act is fully implemented.

L i c e n s i n g and mapping groundwater

is one huge chore: the Ministry of Env i ronment doesn’t know the location of Hunter’s two wells or thousands of other groundwater wells across the province.

“How do you get the farmers to come in?” said Ted van der Gulik, chairman of the Irrigation Industry Association of BC and a former senior engineer with the Ministry of Agriculture.

“We don’t even know where all the wells are because it was voluntary as to whether they logged the wells.”

Water sustainability plans, another feature of the act, will allow water licence holders to act co-operatively in times of drought.

But the complicated plans will take years to complete, van der Gulik said.

Meanwhile, reviews of existing water li-

cence holders for need and efficiency won’t even start until 2046.

California’s new water restrictions will take around 40 years to implement, even as the state struggles with dwindling supply and severe drought, said Hans Schreier, a professor emeritus at the University of British Columbia who studies water systems.

The changes to B.C.’s system could easily take that long, van der Gulik said.

"Irrespective of what perspective you come from, we need those numbers," Curran said. “Even if certainty is uncertainty, given the way that hydrology is changing, we need a lot more information to be able to provide trade-offs for the future when we’re dealing with less water.”

8 The Northern Horizon, September 11, 2015

New study shows economic benefits of irrigation in Alberta From the August 24, 2015 issue of Agri-News Every cubic metre of water delivered for irrigation creates three dollars to the province’s GDP and two dollars in labour income.

This is one of the key conclusions in a study funded by the Canada-Alberta Growing Forward 2 program and commissioned by the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association (AIPA).

The study also shows that for every dollar of irrigation related crop, livestock and food processing sales, total GDP increased by $2.54 and labour income increased by $1.64. Overall irrigation contributes $3.6 billion each year to the province’s GDP averaging $2550 per acre of land irrigated. The governments of Alberta and Canada are the beneficiaries $1.3 billion in income annually from irrigation-based economic activity.

“We have known that irriga-

quantify our overall economic impact in Alberta,” explained AIPA chair Erwin Braun.

“A robust irrigation system plays www.gasfireplace.net an important role in the • Thermostatically controlled wood stove • Tested up to 30 hours on 1 load of wood economic, environmental and social fabric of Alberta’s agriculture industry.

criteria, 89% of the irrigationrelated benefits accrue to the region and province, and 11% to irrigation producers.

Because of the growth of irrigation in southern Alberta, irrigated crop and livestock production has resulted in 38,000 jobs and food processing has created in another 17,000 full time equivalent positions.

Benefits from irrigation water and infrastructure used for non-irrigation purposes, such as recreation, hydropower generation, and drought mitigation, generated an additional $85 million to the provincial GDP and $71 million in labour income.

“We also wanted to know the industry’s economic challenges for the future.” Braun said.

“And what the study shows is that there is a clear need for governments to work with industry to plan for potential impacts of climate change on agriculture, both positive and negative.”

The study calls for long-term water and drought management strategies, including increasing Alberta’s water storage capacity and better communication with international markets about the environmental and economic sustainability of Alberta’s irrigation agri-food production and new food production opportunities to meet growing world-wide demand.

tion system to ensure our producers are able to grow and diversify the industry while keeping thousands of Albertans employed,” said Oneil Carlier, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.

Other key conclusions in the study undertaken by Paterson Earth and Water Consulting from Lethbridge include: The irrigation agri-food sector contributes about 20% of the total provincial agri-food sector GDP on 4.7% of the province's cultivated land base.

Almost 90% of the GDP generated by irrigation accrues to the region and the province and 10% to irrigation producers.

THE BIG BEND Blueberry Creek Joseph Kozenko

Reprinted from ‘The Big Bend’ with permission of Mrs. Arletta Hampton, a remaining member of the Historical Society of Blueberry Mountain Alberta.

Family

By Lorene Sopko Sophie Kozenko was born in Orbaka, Manitoba, June 13, 1908. When she was five years old she and her family moved to Samburg, Saskatchewan. There they farmed with a wagon, two Indian ponies, a democrat, two work horses and 12 head of cattle. At age 13 she started school, but classes shut down in the winter because of the cold so she went for only three years.

Sophie was married in 1924 at the age of 16, to Joseph Kozenko. Joe was born in Poland October 26, 1901. As a child he and his family moved to Melfort, Sask. Joe and Sophie met after he moved in with his sister at Strongpine (2 miles from Samburg). This is

where they lived after they were married, and their oldest daughter Mary was born there. She now lives in Surrey, B.C. with husband Jack Weirz. Johnny was also born there. He passed away in 1942, during the second World War, in an explosion at Dawson Creek, B.C. After three years of marriage they moved to Joseph’s homestead at Whitburn. Olga, Matt, and Edna were born here. Olga lives in Medicine Hat with husband Harold Chambers. Matt now lives in Edmonton. Edna lives in Devon with husband Lawrence Breyde and family.

Five years later they sold the Whitburn homestead and moved to Yellow Creek, where they lived on Sophie’s homestead. They leased another quarter, and after doing some breaking Joseph got title to it.

Betty, Katherine, Ann, William and Janet were all born here. Betty farms near Spirit River with husband Pete Bondar and family. Katherine lives in Spruce Grove with her husband Bill Hudema and girls.

William lives in Grande Prairie with his wife Gloria and family. Janet now lives in Edmonton with her boys.

They had six horses which were used to work the fields, and they also had cows and chickens. Sophie

Augers and grain hazards agri-news august 24, 2015

Augers and the dangers associated with grain are well-known hazards during harvest. Protocol for safely working around these elements should be outlined and communicated with co-workers to minimize or eliminate the risk of injuries.

When using an auger, one person should be designated as being in charge of the task, and be sure that the equipment is periodically inspected during operation. While the auger is running: • observe work area restrictions • keep all safety shields and devices in place • make certain everyone is clear before operating or moving the machine • keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts

r001949948

• shut off and lock out power to adjust, service, or clean the equipment “Grain handling entrapments can happen very quickly,” says Kenda Lubeck, farm safety specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

“Flowing grain can draw in a person within five seconds. That time is decreased with the use of high capacity unloading equipment, such as large wagons emptied quickly with large augers. Children are at an even greater risk around flowing grain.”

The best way to reduce the risk of grain entrapment is to eliminate the situation. Farm workers, however, are exposed to some risks. To reduce risk, follow these guidelines: • lock out power to all types of grain handling equipment - disconnect power and place locks over operating switches • always use the buddy system

when you are unloading or loading grain - notify a second person where you are at all times, so that help can quickly be called if needed • never enter a bin when grain is caked or spoiled - mouldy, wet grain clumps and, as it is unloaded, a large air pocket can form just below the surface creating a ‘grain bridge’ that can collapse at any time “Make this year’s harvest season the one where everyone gets home safe and healthy at the end of each work day,” says Lubeck. “Whether it is shift work with an extended team of farm hands or a few family members, make the plan work for safety. With all the potential hazards during fall work, it takes some discussion and planning to ensure everyone is on the same path to a safe and bountiful harvest.”

had a garden, and she also sold cream at Spirit River.

There was no electricity at that time, so no refrigerator, and she dried fruits, fish, and mushrooms, and also canned milk and made jams. After the war they got a little tractor which helped ease the work. Three years later they got a pull type combine, then sold all but two horses and bought a John Deere tractor. They also had a bright green ‘48 one-ton Ford with black fenders.

In 1950 Joseph died of a heart attack. Sophie lived on the farm for another year, then moved to Spirit River. She bought a 2 room house; and four years later, after selling the homestead at Yellow Creek she was able to build on another three rooms. Later she sold the other quarter. There was a little trouble, since the homestead had been in her name, but the other quarter in Joseph’s name.

While in Spirit River she did some baby sitting, mostly for doctors, nurses and teachers, to make a little extra money. Sophie still lives in Spirit River and keeps herself quite busy. In summer she has a garden and all types of flowers, as well as having a lot of houseplants. She has 28 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren, to whom she has given much of the beautiful needlework she does.

Dealing with Anthrax agri-news august 31, 2015

Anthrax has been confirmed on two beef cattle farms and one sheep farm in the Fort Vermilion area, as well as in bison in Wood Buffalo National Park and in the Syncrude bison herd area north of Fort McMurray.

“Anthrax is a naturally occurring disease caused by soilborne bacteria and can affect several species of livestock

and wildlife,” says Jagdish Patel, manager, pathology section, animal health division, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF). “Cattle, bison and sheep are the most susceptible livestock to this disease.”

A few cases of anthrax are reported in Western Canada nearly every year.

“AF is working with local veterinarians to ensure that affected animals are properly

Rabies

Dr. Zoe Ross DVM Rabies can be a devastating disease that is caused by a virus that affects mammals.

Fortunately this disease is relatively well controlled in Canada and is very uncommon in the Peace area. It typically affects wild animals such as bats, raccoons, skunks and foxes.

It can however affect people and domestic animals including dogs, cats, horses and cattle. The World Health Organization estimates that over 55 000 people die every year from rabies and 40% of people bitten by suspect rabid animals are children less than 15 years of age. It is usually transmitted by bite wounds but can occasionally be spread by infected saliva contacting eyes, mouth, a wound or other breaks in the skin or mucus membranes.

Once the virus is introduced by a bite wound, it replicates and spreads through the nervous system. Symptoms can take weeks to months to appear depending upon the location of the bite and how much of the virus has been introduced. Initially animals may display personality changes where quiet animals may become excitable and aggressive or fearful animals may become friendly. As the disease progresses and the nervous system becomes more affected, paralysis may occur and the animal may have difficulty swallowing,

disposed of, and that producers employ other necessary herdmanagement procedures to reduce the risk of spreading the disease. The best protection against anthrax in areas where the risk is high is to vaccinate livestock.”

There is no risk to the general public, says Patel, as none of the infected animals entered the food system.

“Although animal cases pose

minimal risk to humans, caution should be exercised when handling animals or carcasses suspected of having anthrax.

Humans can become infected by direct or indirect contact with infected animals or carcasses, or exposure to infected or contaminated animal products.”

It’s important for producers and veterinarians to be vigilant, says Patel.

moving and eventually breathing. The virus can reach large numbers in the salivary glands.

Once infection has occurred, the disease is often fatal. In people that are suspected of being exposed to rabies, a series of post exposure vaccines may be given to help stimulate their immune system to combat the virus.

Fortunately there are effective vaccines that can be used to protect domestic animals from this disease which in turn can help protect humans. Typically the vaccine is administered to puppies and kittens that are between 12 and 16 weeks of age. As animals get older and have been appropriately vaccinated, these vaccines are typically administered every three years. In higher risk areas, horses are often vaccinated against this virus as well. Ferrets can also be vaccinated. These vaccines must be administered by a licensed veterinarian.

People that work in situations where they are at high risk of being exposed to the virus (such as veterinarians) can also be vaccinated.

It is important that people take precautions around animals to decrease the risk of them being bitten by infected animals. These include using caution when approaching animals they don’t know and not handling wild animals. If a person is bitten by a suspect animal, they should consult their doctor or

Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic Tuesday, Sept 22, 2015 Tickets $10 Includes Dinner

“Suspected cases of anthrax must be reported to the Canada Food Inspection Agency as well as to Alberta’s Chief Provincial Veterinarian. Producers seeking advice on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment or disposal of anthrax cases in their herd are encouraged to contact their veterinarian, or their Public Health Office if they have health concerns.”

August 24, 2015 The Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) is pleased to announce a new group of participants in the Beef Researcher Mentorship Program, an initiative that launched in 2014 to facilitate greater engagement of upcoming and new applied researchers with Canada’s beef industry.

Following a successful pilot phase in 2014-15, the BCRC accepted applications from beef-related scientists across the country vying for an industry mentorship. Four participants were selected for the 2015-16 term. Each has been paired with two notable industry leaders.

Angela Canovas, PhD is the recently hired Assistant Professor of Beef Cattle and Small Ruminant Genomics at the University of Guelph. She is focused on expanding her scientific research program to the field of animal systems biology combining statistical genomics and bioinformatics with further functional validation of regulatory target genes. Her mentors are Mike McMorris, General Manager of BIO, and Daniel Doerksen, a cow-calf producer near Gem, Alberta.

Argenis Rodas González, PhD is an assistant professor in Meat Science and Food Safety at the University of Manitoba. His research is focused on the evaluation of meat composition and quality, with special interest in meat shelf life and palatability. His mentors are Betty Green, provincial coordinator of the Verified Beef Production program in Manitoba, and Trevor Atchison, a producer near Pipestone, Manitoba who

currently sits as Vice-Chair of Canada Beef Inc. Claudia Narvaez Bravo, PhD is an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba in the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences. Her research is focused on the development of suitable pre-harvest and post-harvest interventions to reduce the presence of pathogenic organisms within meat production. Her mentors are Mauricio Arcila, Food Safety Quality and Regulatory Superintendent for Cargill Meat Solutions in High River, Alberta, and Tom Teichroeb, a cow-calf producer near Langruth, Manitoba.

Shaun Dergousoff, PhD is a research scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Lethbridge research station. His work is focused on better understanding the risks associated with different arthropods (ticks and biting flies) that transmit livestock diseases of current and potential concern. His mentors are the Coaldale Veterinary Clinic, and the Allied Marketing Group (five feedlot operators near Lethbridge, Alberta).

“We have been so pleased to hear last year’s participants explain all of the industry learning and networking they experienced thanks to this program”, said Tim Oleksyn, Chair of the BCRC and a producer from Shellbrook, Saskatchewan. “We look forward to continuing to work with them and supporting this new group with many opportunities to discuss and observe our industry’s challenges, which will be so valuable for them and the industry as they plan, conduct and communicate their research”, added Oleksyn.

The Beef Researcher Mentorship Program provides upcoming and new applied researchers with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the needs of the beef industry in practical and meaningful ways. Participants are paired with an innovative cattle producer and another industry professional for a one year mentorship along with a travel budget to attend industry meetings, producer workshops, and farm tours. The program complements similar programs in existence but for which some researchers may not be eligible. Funding is made available through the technology transfer initiative within the second Beef Cattle Industry Science Cluster.

Sustainable beef production is already defined – CRSB tration, water use, greenhouse gas emissions, feed use and animal care, this study will be the first of its kind to assess such a robust spectrum of impacts of the beef industry sustainability at a national scale. In terms of transparency, an independent expert panel has been established to objectively review the Sustainability Assessment project and to help ensure the validity and credibility of the study. The study’s working group consists of multi-disciplinary stakeholders that have been engaged from the outset, offering scientific advice, guidance, and expert connections. The engagement of CRSB membership and scientific advisors is a testament to the understood importance of this assessment and the commitment of the Canadian beef industry to be a leader in global beef sustainability.

The CRSB continues to liaise with McDonald’s Canada on a Pilot Project aimed at creating tools to verify the sustainability of beef production. McDonald’s has committed to purchase a portion of its global beef supply from verified sustainable sources beginning in 2016.

The Pilot Project will serve as a learning opportunity which will help McDonald’s better understand how they can measure, verify and communicate to consumers the sustainability of beef production. One key aspect of the Pilot Project is that it has adopted the principles and criteria developed by the GRSB and has worked closely with key stakeholders to develop sustainability indicators that will apply those principles and criteria to Canadian beef production. The CRSB will build on the Pilot Project work and develop farm-level indicators to measure and verify sustainable beef production in Canada.

Aug 31, 2015 – Canadian Cattlemen’s Association/ CCA Action News Recently Consumer Reports magazine issued a spread on the U.S. beef industry with a particular focus on ground beef. Several aspects of the ‘report’ were immediately denounced by U.S. beef industry groups for misleading consumers on a number of issues based on erroneous conclusions gathered from questionable – and seemingly agenda-based—science. The ‘special report’ even went so far as to ‘define’ what sustainable beef production practices look like, and in doing so concluded (incorrectly) that one production method was more sustainable than another.

Fortunately the area of sustainable beef production is an area of much focus worldwide. The Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) last year approved its Principles and Criteria for defining sustainable beef.

Broadly, ‘sustainable beef’ is defined “as a socially responsible, environmentally sound and economically viable product that pri¬oritizes Planet, People, Animals and Progress.” The definition includes all aspects of the value chain. It is not simply one area of focus or one type of production system. The Principles and Criteria were developed as a way to define sustainable beef at a high level in the context of the mission and vision of the GRSB. The fact that 96 per cent of members representing the five constituency groups—producer, commerce and processing, retail, civil society, and roundtable—voted in favour of adopting the Principles and Criteria reflects the high level of stakeholder inclusion and consultation in the process.

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) applies the GRSB Principles and Criteria to the Canadian context. The CRSB is a multi-stakeholder initiative developed to advance existing and new sustainability efforts within the Canadian industry. Its members represent all aspects of the beef value chain as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

The roundtable also includes observing members from government and academia. The CRSB is currently developing sustainability indicators for the Canadian beef industry. It is also developing a process to measure and verify the indicators in order to track the industry’s progress.

Ongoing work includes a Sustainability Assessment of Canadian Beef benchmarking study. Covering a range of topics including biodiversity, carbon seques-

removing its temporary suspension and resuming imports of Canadian beef. China had earlier resumed trade back in April. The CCA hopes that Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia will be inspired to also resume importing safe and nutritious Canadian beef.

Peru’s imports of Canadian beef had been rising dramatically in 2013-14 from almost no trade before that. In 2014 Peru imported 2,437 tonnes of beef valued at $4.65 million representing 0.77 per cent of Canadian beef export volume. Peru was becoming a significant importer of beef livers – an important outlet for this product following Russia’s politically motivated bans on food from Canada. About a third of the volume and half of the value of Canada’s 2014 beef exports to Peru was beef liver.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said it will commence the issuance of export certificates to Peru as of August 21. Peruvian officials have confirmed that existing export conditions and certificates will continue to be used.

Watershed Alliance to Host Workshops on Water Quality agri-news SEPTEMBER 7, 2015

A recent report by the World Wildlife Foundation rated current water quality in the Red Deer River Watershed as “good” yet also ranked future threats to water quality in the watershed as “very high.” Despite a strong history of stewardship within the watershed, as population grows and development increases in the region, even maintaining existing surface water and groundwater quality will be a challenge.

As part of the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance’s (RDRWA) long-standing efforts to develop an Integrated Watershed Management Plan, the RDRWA will be hosting two workshops focused on water quality in mid-September.

Dubbed Ripples in our Watershed: From Plan to Action, these workshops are an opportunity for anyone who lives, works, and plays in the Red Deer River watershed to contribute to a future of healthy water.

Participants will learn about water quality, help to chart a course forward, and start to take action.

The Red Deer River Watershed Alliance will also share a draft of an Integrated Watershed Management Plan for public input. The forthcoming plan will be a decision-support tool for people across the Red Deer River Watershed to use as they work together to maintain and improve water quality conditions.

The first workshop will be held in Red Deer on September 15th at the Pioneer Lodge. To register for the event, go to http://www.rdrwa.ca/civicrm/event/ info?reset=1&id=125.

The second workshop will be held in Olds on September 17th at Olds College. To register go to http:// www.rdrwa.ca/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=126.

Snacks and beverages will be provided. Entry is free but pre-registration is required. For more information e-mail info@rdrwa.ca or call Kelly at 403340-7379.

prices at the retail counter further still.

Retail beef prices will remain high due to a tight cattle supply and are bound to go higher yet as producers who are in a position to expand retain heifers for breeding, thus reducing the supply of animals available for slaughter.

Producers who are dealing with drought will either retain their animals and pay for feed if they can afford to, or sell calves early if they can’t. This volume will not be adequate to offset the overall tight supply situation due to the contraction in the national herd. Cattle numbers remain tight, as demonstrated by the Statis-

Don’t let your herd become stressed because of any type of lice infestation. Stressed cattle do not perform to their best ability. To help alleviate stress in your herd, you could purchase a Lewis Cattle Oiler or get your current Lewis Oiler serviced. We now have an 8 gallon tank oiler with oil drape and salt feeder along with the 15 gallon tank models. There is a payment program in place though Lewis Cattle Oilers with no banks involved, no credit application required, and you can take up to 18 months to pay with no interest charges.

The prospect of another consecutive year of a tight cattle supply has once again raised the question of how this will impact the price of beef and moreover if the scenario will drive up

tics Canada July 1, 2015 cattle inventories report. The report shows the Canadian cattle herd is down 2.1 per cent at 13.0 million head, the lowest since 1991 and down 23 per cent from the 2005 peak. Canfax, the market analysis division of the CCA, notes the last time the Canadian herd was less than 13 million head was between 1982 and 1991 and prior to that the late -1960s. In the last 49 years only 15 have had inventories below 13 million head.

Canfax notes that despite the drought, slaughter numbers have not increased yet (although that could show up in the data later) and remains below last year.

Consumers can expect retail prices to remain high.

The biggest factor to watch will be growing U.S. herd, which could see numbers increase next year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is currently projecting beef production to be down 2 per cent in 2015 and rebound 4.5 per cent in 2016. How larger production impacts prices will be determined by international demand and particularly what happens in Asia in the coming months.

Aug 31, 2015 - Canadian Cattlemen’s Association/ CCA Action News On August 21, the Alberta Government declared a province-wide agricultural disaster due to extreme weather conditions including dry weather and hail. Although recent rainfall across a broad swath of Western Canada has alleviated the situation somewhat, the repercussions of drought and extreme conditions remain a very real issue for some producers in parts of B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. The precipitation came too late for crops but in time for pastures and later seeded cereals. Sourcing available and affordable winter feed will be an issue for impacted producers and the overall situation has delayed any meaningful herd expansion for another year. The CCA continues to urge those who manage the programs to make decisions in a timely manner to allow producers to make timely decisions that are best suited for their operations.

20 The Northern Horizon, September 11, 2015

Consumer reports information misleading Aug 31, 2015 – Canadian Cattlemen’s Association/CCA Action News Consumer Reports Food Safety and Sustainability Center released its “Beef Report” on August 25. A number of questions, concerns and criticisms have been raised by the North American Meat Institute, the International Food Information Council, Business Insider, and others. Rather than answer the specific questions raised, Consumer Reports has encouraged people to read the report more closely.

Unfortunately, reading the report more closely simply raises more questions about the expertise and/or integrity of Consumer Reports and its “policy and action arm,” Consumers Union.

Here’s one example.

“The Danger of Superbugs” heads a section on Page 10 and 11 detailing the health hazards posed by Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STECs, like E. coli O157). This directly implies that antimicrobial resistance will make STEC infections more difficult to treat. This is not true.

Antibiotics are not used to treat STEC infections in people. Instead, treatments for STEC infections focus on replacing fluids due to diarrhea. In fact, antibiotic use is strongly discouraged in both Canada and the U.S. because they could make the situation worse.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says: “Generally, the disease must run its course. Treatment for those infected with E. coli includes drinking plenty of liquids to replace the body fluids lost

through diarrhea and vomiting, and to avoid dehydration… Antibiotics are not used to treat the illness, as they may increase the risk of developing hemolytic uremic syndrome.”

The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta says: “Non-specific supportive therapy, including hydration, is important. Antibiotics should not be used to treat this infection. There is no evidence that treatment with antibiotics is helpful, and taking antibiotics may increase the risk of HUS. Antidiarrheal agents like Imodium® may also increase that risk.”

Antibiotics are not used to treat STEC infections in people, so antibiotic resistance will not make STEC infections more difficult to treat.

If antibiotics are not used to treat STEC infections in people, why is E. coli used in antimicrobial resistance surveillance programs?

Antimicrobial resistance surveillance programs in Canada and the U.S. use E. coli as an indicator organism for several reasons. First, E. coli is found in all warm blooded animals and birds, and survives to some extent in the environment. Although some E. coli (like the STEC’s) are dangerous, the vast majority of E. coli are perfectly harmless (and some are even beneficial). Because E. coli is found almost everywhere, E. colibased surveillance programs can always find it, and it is easy to grow and identify in the lab. Second, although antibiotics are not used to combat STEC infections in humans, E. coli is exposed to antibiotics that are used to treat other bacterial infections. This makes E. coli a valuable

indicator of how antimicrobial use can affect the overall bacterial population.

Third, bacteria can trade antimicrobial resistance genes with each other, so rates of antimicrobial resistance in E. coli can indicate the degree to which antimicrobial resistance rates may be changing in the overall bacterial population.

What are the actual rates of antimicrobial resistance in E. coli in Canadian beef? The Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS) has collected E. coli samples from retail beef since 2002. The 2013 CIPARS report indicates that 74% of E. coli isolates from retail beef could be killed by every antimicrobial tested, while 4% were resistant to three or more antimicrobial classes.

Canada’s beef industry remains focused on ensuring the safety of Canadian beef. Research funded through the Canadian Beef Cattle Industry Science Cluster has clearly demonstrated that large Canadian beef processors do an excellent job of producing dressed carcasses that are essentially free of microbial contamination. Finding ways to further reduce the risk of microbial re-contamination during carcass fabrication is the subject of ongoing research.

Research, development and effective implementation of improved food safety practices should contribute to ongoing declines in the incidence of E. coli O157 in Canada.

Canada’s beef industry has supported antimicrobial use and resistance research for nearly two decades. This research gives strong evidence that Canada’s

beef producers are using antimicrobials responsibly. They have good reasons for doing so. The beef industry needs to ensure that these veterinary products remain effective to prevent or treat illness in cattle for economic and ethical reasons. Like everyone else, beef producers also need to ensure that medical antimicrobials continue to work when they or their family need to use them.

We need cattle to remain healthy so that they can produce safe, high quality beef.

We also need to ensure that consumers can have confidence that they are buying safe, affordable, high quality beef that was raised in a responsible and sustainable manner.

The numerous misleading statements in the “Beef Report” are no reason for consumers to lose confidence in the safety of Canadian beef, or the Canadian beef industry’s ongoing commitments to keep it safe. Provided consumers continue to cook ground beef to 71oC, science says that the beef for sale in Canadian (and American) grocers is a safe, nutritious, responsible and sustainable food choice.

The Beef Science Cluster is funded by the National Check-Off and Agriculture and Agri -Food Canada with additional contributions from provincial beef industry groups and governments to advance research and technology transfer supporting the Canadian beef industry’s vision to be recognized as a preferred supplier of healthy, high quality beef, cattle and genetics.

Eye in the Sky No Longer a Thing of Science Fiction

Wired/Wireless Camera Systems Improve Implement and Livestock Monitoring While Providing Yard Security

In the past, if a farm operator was to keep an eye on things, they had to use their feet as well; whether by stopping a tractor, combine or seed drill to check on grain levels or equipment operation, putting on the boots and slogging out to the barn or field to check on livestock, or getting up in the middle of the night to find out why the dog was barking.

Recent advancements in the field of implement, cow and farm security cameras are giving farm opera-

tors greater freedom and flexibility while expanding their farm management abilities.

Equipment cameras can put eyes inside an air seeder tank during canola seeding, allow operators to keep an eye on hidden spray boom nozzles and chain drives during equipment operation, or allow for safer and more efficient backing up to an auger hopper or positioning an auger atop grain bins.

A wireless livestock monitoring system can reduce stress on both the farm operator and their livestock by eliminating needless trips to the barn, especially during the middle of the night or facing -30C temperatures, ensuring more and better sleep for both the producer and their family. These systems can also save calves, allowing the producer to save and make money. With current cattle prices, one calf saved can pay for the cost of the monitoring system.

But probably the most important factor making wireless camera systems a near necessity on today’s farm operation is in the protection of farm property, equipment, fuel and personal security. Current systems can include driveway sensors and alarms so you

can tell when someone is coming onto or leaving your property. Strategically placed cameras can also monitor the movement of livestock and persons on your property allowing large farm operators to keep an eye on hundreds of bins or livestock in multiple locations at the same time. They can also allow you to observe and record activity around distant pens, equipment sheds and fuel storage tanks.

Recent improvements in the wireless technology built in to these systems now allow farm operators to monitor their cameras from either a central monitor or their smartphone, providing peace of mind while cutting down on wasted time and steps.

Check with your local equipment supplier about how a wired or wireless camera system can improve your farm’s operation and security.

Sustainable beef – CRSB

“KEEP YOU IN THE FIELD” Schedule maintenance is the first step for a successful harvest season, but a rock or field debris can put an abrupt stop to your day. Your local AGCO Parts dealer has the service, genuine parts and accessories manufactured specially for the extreme demands that your combine and header experience

Harvest Service Special

Perfect time to service your equipment or check over everything in the yard

No charge for travel or travel time Field service work at shop rate

Continued from 17 The CRSB is also well-suited to take advantage of a number of other CCA-led sustainability initiatives, including: • The development of the 2013 Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Beef Cattle. This is an important document which outlines some key areas for developing a sustainable beef practice; • The Beef InfoXchange System (BIXS) is an economically viable traceability and information transfer system; • Verified Beef Production™ (VBP) program is currently expanding with the addition of animal care, environmental stewardship and biosecurity modules to help demonstrate responsible production practices and respond to

marketplace expectations.

Beef cattle production in Canada has made great progress in terms of sustainability - the use of technologies in conventional beef production produces more high-quality, safe beef products while using less land, water, feed, fuel and fertilizer.

Utilizing programs like VBP and BIXS will put producers in an ideal position to capture and communicate their sustainable production practices. The information may be valuable when marketing products, and helps the industry record the broader story that can be shared with regulatory bodies and interested consumers.

Agronomic, Rugged New Case IH True-Tandem™ 375 Disk Harrow Brings Toughness, Flexibility to Any Field (26 Aug, 2015) RACINE, Wis. — Tough field conditions require tough tillage tools.

The new Case IH True-Tandem 375 disk harrow — featuring a pull frame with heavywalled tubing, a spring-cushioned hitch, 24-inch Earth Metal® blades and a new mounted TigerPaw™ Crumbler® option — delivers a new standard for ruggedness and agronomics.

“Saturated soils and heavy, stubborn crop residue this year have reminded producers about the importance of crop residue management and soil tilth,” said Chris Lursen, Case IH Tillage marketing manager. “Our new True-Tandem 375 disk harrow helps improve soil tilth on every front, from crop residue management to reduced surface compaction and thorough soil mixing.”

The new Case IH True-Tandem™ 375 disk harrow gives farmers a flexible yearround tillage tool for a wide range of soil types and moisture conditions.

Case IH Agronomic Design℠ helps make the True-Tandem 375 the best-in-class multipurpose tandem disk, Lursen said. Building on the legacy of Case IH True-Tandem design, blades in the rear gangs track between the blades on the front gangs for a true full-width cut, leaving no uncut gaps. That’s important, whether slicing through crop residue in the fall or taking out an early weed flush before spring planting.

The True-Tandem 375 gives producers a flexible year-round tillage tool for a wide range of soil types and moisture conditions. Best of all, it offers flexibility without sacrificing durability. Features that ramp up the ruggedness and versatility of the True-Tandem 375 include: 24-inch, crimp center Earth Metal blades that • are formulated using a special steel alloy as well as a

proprietary process, and have proven to be stronger and more durable than other blades New rollable blade options for those markets • desiring that sharpening technique Disk blade concavity options to match the • needs of the operation: Shallow concavity blades on the front gang • with standard concavity blades on the rear gang allow for higher ground speeds, more productivity and better ground penetration Standard concavity blades on the front and • rear allow for maximum soil and residue mixing for improved soil tilth An 18-degree gang angle matched to the blade •

“Our emphasis on delivering agronomic advantages really shines in the True-Tandem 375,” Lursen added. “It provides better residue cutting, sizing and distribution into the soil.

Yet, it accomplishes that with a smoother finish out the back for a high-quality seed bed.”

The True-Tandem is available in working widths from 22 to 37 feet so producers can choose a size to match most tractors. Producers can use it alone or in combination with other types of tillage operations to achieve soil conditions for uniform crop emergence and development.

“Since the 1970s, Case IH has led the industry in tandem-disk technology,” Lursen said. “With its flexibility and durability, the new True-Tandem 375 can enhance the tillage program for nearly any size and type of operation.”

province have been subject to adverse growing conditions in 2015,” says Mark Cutts, crop specialist, Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “Crops were subject to many stresses including poor soil moisture conditions, cool soil temperatures and frost. As a result of these adverse conditions, many crops have at least two crop stages present. Fields with variable growth stages will have areas with mature plants, while other areas of the field will be immature. Having variable growth stages complicates decisions regarding timing of harvest operations.”

As harvest approaches, Cutts says producers will need to consider their options for managing these fields.

“The main management options available for dealing with variable stage crops include swathing the crop or using herbicides (e.g. glyphosate or a crop desiccant). Regardless of the approach used it should be recognized that managing variable growth stages typi-

cally requires the growth of the less mature portions of the field to be terminated. As a result, these areas of the field will not contribute to yield. The advantage of these approaches is the elimination of the variable crop stages and improved harvest management.”

One approach that producers could use is the application of glyphosate to a standing crop. Applying glyphosate to a standing crop is commonly referred to as a “pre-harvest application” and is primarily done to control perennial weeds. Glyphosate is a systemic herbicide that moves through the foliage into the plants root system and results in death of the plant. As a result of its behaviour in the plant, glyphosate applied to a standing crop will terminate the growth of the crop and over a period of time the entire field will dry down.

Another chemical option for producers is the use of a desiccant. Desiccants are a non-selective contact herbicide that act rapidly and result in the

termination of the above ground growth of crops and weeds. This allows for a quick dry down of the plant material and an earlier harvest. Desiccants are most commonly used on potatoes and pulse crops. However, desiccants do not provide long-term weed control.

“Swathing the crop can also be an effective management tool for crops with variable growth stages,” says Cutts. “For example, if a cereal crop has late developing tillers the crop should be swathed when the original heads are at the correct stage (kernel moisture of 35 per cent or less) and before there is any amount of kernel development in the late tillers.

This approach will minimize the risk of having green immature kernels that may impact grain grade.”

For more information on managing crops with variable growth stages, call the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

On the open road

Motorcycling in Canada The dirty thirties were harder in rural Western Canada than anywhere else in the world, but out of the dust bowl of the prairies sprung up one of western Canada’s most influential businesses and riders.

Nicholson Brothers Motorcycles was opened in Saskatoon Saskatchewan in 1933 by two brothers, Lawrence and J.B (Bernie) Nicholson.

While their dealership and mail order business was important to the growth of motorcycling in western Canada, J.B. (Bernie) Nicholson himself, is a man who influenced the motorcycle industry in a mighty way.

The Nicholson Brothers started out importing the Douglas and Calthorpe motorcycles and by 1935 had evolved their business into a mail order parts house replete with extensive catalogues of parts that were updated yearly and included information on all of the improvements each manufacturer had made to their motorcycle offerings.

Over the years they imported and sold motorcycles and parts for these brands (and others): Calthorpe, Douglas, Raleigh, Rudge, Scott, Panther, Super Excelsior, A.J.S., Ariel, Matchless, Norton, Royal Enfield, Panther, Sunbeam, Triumph, Villiers and Indian.

At the age of 25, Bernie constructed the first ever repair manual that offered diagrams and information on repairing and maintaining the motorcycles that he had worked on.

He had already been contributing technical articles to Motor Cycling magazine, but was inspired by the compliment paid to him by Graham Walker, the editor

of Motor Cycling over the aide he had given writing and reworking an Indian manual.

According to the article written by Greg Williams: “In a letter from Graham to Bernie dated October 31, 1941, Graham writes, “It is difficult to express in words just how much I appreciate the trouble you have gone to.

You possess the happy knack of describing the necessary work in such a concise manner and in such a logical sequence as to make it understandable to even inexperienced fitters, and yet, at the same time, suitable for the first-class mechanic.”

In the 1930’s and 40’s, most motorcycles did not come with repair manuals.

Published in 1942, the first edition of “Modern Motorcycle Mechanics and Speed Tuning” sold 4,000 copies. In all Bernie produced 7 manuals. The 7th edition of Modern Motorcycle Mechanics included information on almost every Japanese, British and American motorcycle that had been built to date. He covered the topics of motorcycle design, operation and maintenance and included chapters on specific brands.

The 763 page hardcover book sold over 10,000 copies.

Because of the contribution of these repair manuals, motorcycling was able to grow in regions where mechanics/fitters were few and far between.

Many a motorcycle was kept on the road because of “Modern Motorcycle Mechanic” and today, the same is true. His manuals are the bible for antique and vintage motorcycle repair.

interesting marketing tactics in their parts and sales catalogues. They give one an idea of the growth of motorcycling as seen through the retail window of one motorsport dealer.

In 1939, they had a map of Western Canada on the back of their catalogue and it had listed the places they had sold motorcycles to.

Blue Sky, Grande Prairie, Sexsmith and Rochester Alberta were among the places listed on the map.

The caption on the bottom of the map: The popularity of motorcycles is increasing in all parts of Canada and it is interesting to note that the sales of machines in outlying districts where roads are almost non-existent have been growing steadily. As well as the great sporting attractions of motorcycling, the exceptional low cost transportation and the ability to travel to points inaccessible to cars are amongst the advantages a motorcycle offers.”

You see, even in its earliest of days, motorcycles, like their predecessor the bicycle, changed lives by giving people a new found sense of freedom and self reliance.

Today, Greg Williams nurtures and cares for the Modern Motorcycle Mechanics publishing.

Greg has also written a book on the history of the man behind the books called “Prairie Dust, Motorcycles and a Typewriter” Interesting Historical Tidbits: 1910: Sturgess Cycle opens in Hamilton Ontario.

They are considered to be Canada’s OLDEST motorsports dealer and the OLDEST Honda dealership.

1911: Schulte’s easy-start “Free-engine” model with multi-plate clutch in rear hub is available (patented by Schulte in 1908, this is Triumph’s first bike with a clutch). This meant riders no longer had to run along side the bike to get it started, & then jump on! They could just ride away from a stationary position. 伀瘀攀爀 䴀愀爀欀 ␀㘀 Ⰰ 1911: The Manitoba Motorcycle 攀 Club is founded.

is reported to be the 4th oldest in

Motorcycling in Canada 27 Important Lessons from Older farmers

#9

C

1928: Graham Oates becomes the first person to traverse the breadth of Canada on a gas propelled rubber tired vehicle. The trip took him 21 days.

Sponsored by Ariel Motors and Castrol Oil, Graham rode from Nova Scotia to Vancouver on a new 497cc ‘Two Port’ single-cylinder Ariel motorcycle attached to a Canadian-built sidecar – constructed by Sturgess of Hamilton, Ont. 1931-36: The Communist Party of Canada was virtually outlawed when nine of its leaders were arrested and convicted under the Criminal Code Real Estate Listing for being members of an “unlawful association”and was banned when war was declared in 1939.

1946: Ducati produces its first bike, the 50cc Cucciolo.
