DAWSON CREEK — A 21-year-old man accused of killing a calf in the Groundbirch Community Pasture has been sentenced to six months house arrest.

Cody Lee Housego, one of three men charged with shooting and butchering three calves in the pasture July 26, entered guilty pleas on seven charges in Dawson Creek provincial court Friday.

He has been ordered to pay two ranchers $1,000 each in restitution for the calf he killed.

An RCMP constable tracked Housego and the two other men to his home in Dawson Creek after receiving a tip. The officer found the hind leg, hip and shoulder sections of the animals in a box in his truck after obtaining a

search warrant.

Travis Wiebe and William Blanchard, the co-accused, are set to be arraigned Dec. 15.

On the morning of July 26, an acquaintance received a call from Housego, saying he was stranded around 10 kilometres into the Groundbirch pasture with a flat tire.

When he arrived, the man saw Housego and the co-accused with the remains of the calves.

After deciding what he’d seen was “not kosher,” the man called the police and Cattlemen’s Association, Crown prosecutor Tamera Golinsky said.

arraigned Dec. 15.

On the morning of July 26, an acquaintance received a call from Housego, saying he was stranded around 10 kilometres into the Groundbirch pasture with a flat tire.

When he arrived, the man saw Housego and the co-accused with the remains of the calves.

After deciding what he’d seen was “not kosher,” the man called the police and Cattlemen’s Association, Crown prosecutor Tamera Golinsky said.

Continued on Page A6 CATTLE RUSTLER Continued from Page A3 RCMP later arrived on the scene, and two witnesses were able to identify the remains of the calves as belonging to Clinton and Gina Odden, and Victor Remple.

Somehow, the three accused were able to make it back to Dawson Creek, where they were arrested.

Golinsky said the case law on how to sentence people convicted of stealing cattle dates back to the 1970s. In the past, offenders in New Brunswick and Saskatchewan had been given jail time.

She cited two cases which stressed the importance of deterring people from abusing community pastures, which she described as systems “built on trust.”

However, Housego’s guilty plea saved the court considerable time, which the judge looked upon favourably.

During the first four months of his sentence, Housego will only be allowed to leave home for work or medical emergencies. The conditional sentence order bans him from having firearms for five years. Housego was also ordered to stay away from Wiebe and Blanchard. reporter@dcdn.ca

WTO approves $1.01 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods NPPC again urges Congress to repeal meat labeling law to avoid retaliation National Pork Producers Council, Dec 7, 2015 In the wake of today’s decision by the World Trade Organization setting the retaliation amount Canada and Mexico can place on American products in response to the U.S. Country of Origin Labeling law, the National Pork Producers Council renewed its call for Congress to repeal labeling requirements for beef, pork and poultry.

The COOL statute requires meat to be labeled with the country where the animal from which it was derived was born, raised and harvested. (It also applies to fish, shellfish, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables and certain nuts.)

The WTO today said Canada and Mexico can

put $1.01 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods because the COOL law, which the international trade body previously ruled violates U.S. trade obligations, discriminates against Canadian and Mexican animals that are sent to the United States to be fed out and processed.

“America’s pork producers need congressional lawmakers to recognize the imminent harm our economy faces,” said NPPC President Ron Prestage, a veterinarian and pork producer from Camden, S.C. “Retaliation has been authorized, and our exports to the No. 1 and No. 2 markets will suffer and so will U.S. farmers, business people and consumers.

“We need Congress to repeal the labeling provision for beef, pork and poultry now.”

According to Iowa State University economist Dermot Hayes, the average U.S. pork producer currently is losing money on each hog marketed, and retaliation from Canada and Mexico against U.S. pork would exacerbate those losses.

The House of Representatives in June voted to repeal the COOL meat labeling provisions, but the Senate has yet to act on the matter.

NPPC opposed COOL when it was being debated

by Congress as part of the 2002 farm bill, worked for flexibility in the labeling scheme when lawmakers said it would be part of the 2008 farm bill and joined with several other meat organizations in filing a lawsuit against the 2013 regulation implementing the law.

The wheat stem sawfly forecast map is now up on Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF)’s webpage and predicts the risk of economically significant sawfly populations in 2016 will be limited to only a few areas.

“For the wheat stem sawfly, we go into the wheat fields after harvest, look at four spots and count the number of stems that are intact and the number that have been cut by the sawfly,” says Scott Meers, insect management specialist, AF, Brooks.

“This system gives us a percentage cut, and from that we can make a fairly good forecast on what to expect for the next year.”

Meers says the forecast calls for fairly low numbers, especially in the traditional areas such as the M.D of Acadia, County of Forty Mile and the Special Areas, although individual fields may vary.

“We found a fairly significant hot spot in the eastern portion of Willow Creek and the western portion of Lethbridge counties where the two are sideby-side. There are fields in that area that absolutely should be have solid-stem

wheat planted there next year if wheat is to be planted. Numbers are high, but not extreme like during the height of the outbreaks in the early 2000s. However, there are high enough that there could be yield losses.”

Surprisingly, wheat midge sawfly was also found in Flagstaff County, notes Meers. “One field was high there but not extreme. But that’s still pretty

HOW WE DO IT

WHAT WE DO

Mouse Free’s unique formula stops the entry of mice into your RV. We stop mice and other pests from entering through the small holes and cavities on the under side of your motorhome or trailer.

Simply put, a lubricating non drip coating scented with 100% natural essential oils is applied to the entire undercarriage of your RV. This provides two very unique ways to repel mice: 1 Mice have a very acute sense of smell. The scent of natural essential oils are overwhelming to mice, and drive them away.

2 The non drip oily coating is much too slippery to travel across. The coating is impassable by any mouse, squirrel, or insect even ants! If it doesn’t have wings, we keep them out!

10:10 a.m. - December 9, 2015 Don Biegel

Statistics Canada came out on Friday, December 4th with another whopper of a production report, blasting away market expectations by pegging this year’s Canadian canola crop at 17.2 million tonnes, an increase of almost 4% from last year and the 2nd largest on record after 2013’s monster. The market was expecting a number around 15.6 million tonnes, but with average yields in Western Canada climbing 9% year-over-year, the market shifted almost 25 cents/bushel lower after the report. It’s more than likely though that the private trade was expecting something with a 16-million tonne handle, so with a lower Canadian Loonie and higher soyoil prices, canola surprisingly only ended 0.4% lower on the day of the StatsCan report & have since returned to their pre-report levels.

Total wheat production was pegged at 27.6 million tonnes, again well above the 26.7 million guesstimated ahead of the report, but smaller than 2014’s 29.4 million tonne crop. This included almost 20 million tonnes of spring wheat and 5.4 million tonnes of durum, which is almost 15% higher than the 5-year average production number. The Canadian soybean crop was bigger for the 7th consecutive year at 6.2 million tonnes while corn production was up 18% year-over-year to 13.6 million tonnes, thanks to a record average yield of 170 bu/ac in Ontario.

Canadian barley production was also bigger at 8.2 million tonnes versus the 7.6 million expected and 7.1 million produced in 2014, but that’s generally in line with the 5-year average production number. As for the pulse & specialty crops, most results came in line with pre-report estimates with 942,000 MT of flax (+8% year-over-year, +62% from the 5-year average), 3.2 million tonnes of peas (-16% YoY & -4% from the 5-year), 2.4 million tonnes of lentils (+19.4% YoY and 26.7% from the 5-year and you can probably expect that number to climb in 2016). For the mustard crop, 123,000 MT was taken off (-37% YoY, -21.2% from the average), 84,000 MT of chickpeas were harvested (-32% YoY & -37.5% from the 5-year average but that’ll likely be made up by the aforementioned Aussie crop), and 149,000 MT of canaryseed (+19% YoY and +8% from the 5-year average).

Overall, the market continues to be in a net short position on the futures board (except for soyoil) so the fundamentals generally remain bearish in Chicago.

However, currency effects are playing a significant role today, which is exactly why the USDA’s attaché in Buenos Aires, Argentina believes that any major sales of crop by producers there will be limited by further depreciation of the Argentinian peso under new President Macri. Conversely, demand of Canadian exports will likely be higher year-over-year, helped push out the bigger-than-expected crop that StatsCan says was produced in one of the weirdest growing season the country has ever seen. Thus, the sway in the market in the near term for cash prices will likely be moved not so much by supply/demand, but the competiveness of the Canadian Loonie relative to other currencies.

Amendments confirm farm and ranch families will be excluded from new rules AGRI-NEWS DECEMBER, 2015

Amendments to the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act, confirm the government’s intent to exclude farm and ranch owners, and their families, from Occupational Health and Safety and mandatory Workers’ Compensation Board coverage.

“Across Alberta, we have heard farming and ranching families’ concerns. We know that farming in Alberta is more than a business, it is a way of life. It has always been our intention to preserve that way of life. The amendments explicitly exclude owners of farming or ranching operations, and their family members, from the mandatory application of WCB and OHS rules. We are also introducing amendments to assure Albertans that neighbours can still volunteer to help each other out, without being subject to the new rules.”

- Lori Sigurdson, Minister of Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour The provisions for family members and non-waged individuals in the amendments were to be set out in regulations. Public concerns about whether OHS rules and WCB coverage applied to family operations required that they be stated within the Act itself for greater clarity and certainty.

“Families will be able to teach their children the farming and ranching way of life, as they always have, and neigh-

bours will be able to volunteer to help each other out in times of need, as they always have.”

- Oneil Carlier, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry At a glance The amendments to the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act explicitly exclude the application of WCB and OHS to owners of a farm or ranch operation, family members of the owners, and friends and neighbours who volunteer their time on the farm or ranch.

Only where non-owner or non-family waged individuals are involved in a farm or ranch operation will WCB and OHS apply to the operation, and only to those non-owner and non-family waged individuals.

If waged individuals are owners or family members of owners, the application of WCB and OHS will be excluded as it pertains to those individuals.

In all cases, farm and ranch families may elect to choose WCB coverage for waged owners, waged family members and unwaged neighbours and friends.

Easy money, hard lessons: New CFSEU-BC report puts the realities of gang life in stark focus Special to Glacier Media

S

usan (not her real name) remembers the cramped, smelly bus ride from Vancouver to Calgary.

She is carrying a bag of cash, intended to buy drugs from gang members in Calgary.

When she gets there, she meets two men in a parking lot.

The exchange goes wrong. One of the men hits her. She falls to the ground. And then they start kicking her.

When they stop, the money is gone. The drugs are gone. Susan is lying bloodied on the pavement. But she is worried – in fact, frightened to death – about one thing above all: how she is going to explain what happened to her gang bosses back home.

Raw, gritty and told by Susan herself, her story is the centrepiece of the latest Community Report from B.C.’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC), the province’s integrated anti-gang police agency.

Formed in 2009, CFSEU-BC is tasked with combating gang activity throughout the province, and since 2013 it has published annual community reports as

part of its public education and advocacy efforts.

The theme of the 2015 report is “Youth, Girls and, Gangs,” with stories and commentary that focus on the increasing involvement of younger people and women in gangs.

“The gang landscape in BC is continually changing,” says Constable Jordan McLellan, community engagement officer for CFSEU-BC. “The typical gangster used to be a male in his late 20s, but now very young men and women are getting involved in the gang lifestyle. Some are as young as 15 – children who can’t really appreciate the consequences of their actions.”

According to the CFSEU-BC report, the average age of a victim of gang violence 10 years ago was 30. Today, the average is 25, and the youngest victim this year was only 15 years old.

Why the increase? Recruiters for gangs actively prey on youth’s naïveté. Culture plays a part, too, with easy access by ever-younger kids to glamorized gang images in TV shows, music and movies.

For too many, it works.

“There’s an allure to the gang lifestyle – an easy life, lots of

money, girls will like you, people will respect you,” says McLellan.

“The reality is that the life is not easy, the money goes just as fast as it comes, and you end up destroying your relationships with friends and family.”

Sadly, it’s a similar pattern for the increasing number of girls recruited into BC gangs.

Typically, young women get involved because they are seduced by the seemingly lavish lifestyle gangsters enjoy. Many begin the journey as girlfriends, but after a time they take on more active roles, like holding drugs or hiding weapons. Some, like Susan, get more deeply involved.

But there is hope. Although violence spiked in the first half of the year, with 30 gang-related homicides and attempted homicides, the longer-term trend is toward a steady decline in gang activity since 2008, when there were 51 gang-related homicides and attempted homicides in BC. Last year, there were 18 such incidents, according to CFSEUBC. One of the reasons for that trend is CFSEU-BC’s enforcement and investigative activities, resulting in several arrests of

high-level gang criminals this year.

As well, the unit has launched a high-profile “prevention through education” program called End Gang Life (endganglife.ca), whose goal is to keep people out of gangs by telling the other side of the story.

A multi-media campaign that features a website, posters, radio ads, and thought-provoking videos, End Gang Life reveals the hard realities of gang activity, and the damage it does to individuals, families and communities.

The program also provides parent resources in eight different languages, to help adults have frank and effective conversations with their kids about gangs.

“These resources are a good start to having a discussion,” says McLellan. “Parents need to understand that it may be a hard talk to have with your kids, but it will be easier than talking about their funeral.”

For Susan – who is, at last, out of gangs – the impact of the End

Gang Life campaign is very real.

Earlier this year, after she saw the posters and visited the website, she approached CFSEU-BC with an offer to tell her story and help educate other young women on the realities of life as a gang member.

“I was young, I was stupid, and I would caution any kid against this,” she writes in the report.

“What I lived through, I didn’t come out unscathed. I came out damaged, with wounds that’ll never heal and emotional scars that will linger forever.”

“With the holiday season nearly upon us, there is one question causing the good people of the province to lose sleep at night; what to get the horticulturalist in their life?” asks Dustin Morton, commercial horticulture specialist, Alberta Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “With that question in mind (and tongue firmly planted in cheek) I’ve compiled a list of ideas with something for every budget that are sure to keep production humming along in the new year.”

Portable Microscopes “Gone are the days of calling your favourite commercial horticulture specialist with a worried tone and a blurry picture,” says Morton. “Portable digital microscopes allow you to take quality pictures wherever you might be with a resolution previously impossible for most producers. And, there are any number of cellphone/microscope hacks out there that can make field identification (slightly) easier than ever. And as always, the call to the commercial horticulture specialist is still free!”tIrrigation “Dryland production got you down?” asks Morton. “Regardless of where you are in the province, this year was not great for rainfall. Horticultural crops are especially dependent on moisture, making irrigation a very expensive (but

worthwhile) safety net. Alberta has no lack of irrigation equipment supply companies who can design and set up a system for you from pump to emitters, and will have you watering in no time (assuming that you have legal access to your water source). Alternatively, if the horticulturalist in your life is more of a do-it-yourself type of person, there are kits available that you can assemble yourself for as much or as little area as you like. When considering irrigation, don’t forget to consider your water source and quality. This will have a substantial impact on emitters, filters, pumps, etc. and ultimately mean the difference between a system that works and a very expensive soil holder.”

Bugs “Beneficial insects are all the rage right now and why wouldn’t they be?” asks Morton. “Eat bad bugs? Check!

Turn bad bugs into mummies? Check!

Make your crop cleaner with fewer chemicals and worries? Check Check!

Beneficial insect companies can help you find a bug for your problem and your crop. If Canada Thistle is a problem, you may want to look at the Canada thistle stem mining weevil (Hadroplontus litura). These stem mining wonders are typically released in the fall and can significantly reduce Canada thistle stands in as little as two to three years.”

A nice cover crop mix “Who doesn’t love peas! Oats are awesome! How about mixing the two together for a green manure? Weed issues? Maybe some buckwheat is just what the doctor ordered. As the International Year of Soils wraps up, cover crops are riding high because of their ability to smother weeds, add precious nutrients to the soil and increase organic matter. While there is a considerable amount of work that still needs to be done on them in the Alberta context, if you’re looking to dabble, tools like http://decision-tool.incovercrops.ca/ can help you pick species according to your soil and end use (soil builder, compaction fighter, potential biofumigant, etc.).

Some proven winners are the previously mentioned buckwheat (known for its fast growing, smothering capability), tillage radish (for its ability to break through all but the toughest of hardpans), and legumes (for their nitrogen fixing capacity).”

Free resource material “For the frugal or those on a tight budget, the world wide web is an incredible

resource of information just waiting to be printed and bound, pinned to a Pinterest board, or otherwise exploited.

Websites like Cornell’s small farm program, Farm Hack, and Farm Start are great for the beginning producer. Others such as the University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management (IPM), New York State IPM, or Purdue Extension have material that even the most seasoned producer can use. While not all of this information is relevant to our climate and production cycle, much of the research can be adapted and used, making it irreplaceable.”

“With any luck, this list has brought both some levity and actual value to your day. It’s been a very challenging year and the holiday season presents a fantastic opportunity to relax, reflect, and plan for the future. In that vein, it’s been a pleasure working with you this year and from ours to yours, a very happy holiday season and all the best in the new year.”

Liberty: What’s the Point?

Unfortunately, a lot of the things people do are to impress someone else.

If people are doing liberty to impress others, their horse knows and it shows.

If they are doing liberty to see how much of a relationship they can build, that also shows. Making them circle or follow you around until they start pinning their ears is not good horsemanship and is pointless other than it might impress the neighbor but still it isn’t impressing the horse. The more you can ask, or do, with a horse and the horse thinks it is interesting, and the play drive and curiosity is kept alive, the better the horsemanship. When liberty is done with this in mind, then there is a point and a purpose to it.

The depth of trust, timing, feel, understanding, athleticism, heart and desire in both the horse and the human has to be developed and protected, especially in the horse, because it’s our idea and we initiate it. I often see horses doing liberty and a lot of what is going on is strictly for the human’s enjoyment.

When things are done coming from

this place of selfishness, liberty never ever gets real good, and definitely has a ceiling to it. We need to try as often as possible to make liberty as interesting and fun for the horse as it is for us.

From a more pragmatic perspective, liberty with ole Dobbin is easy. Trying to take the liberty people use with Dobbin and use it in a real life setting such as with the wild horses in the mountains, it is quite another story. It takes some real savvy to talk one of those horses into allowing you to touch them without a rope. What we learn working with Dobbin is a start but, generally, there needs to be a much deeper level of understanding to do liberty with a wild horse. It would be very handy to have the skills to use in a setting such as this real life situation. The wild mountain horses we play with won’t accept mediocre timing, too much pressure, too little pressure, poor angles, or lack of feel and flow.

Liberty is also used to develop selfcarriage and impulsion and should be something horses can have fun with.

The more we learn, the more we can see these things. The more we learn to see the things that may be or not be there, like the horse’s play drive or selfcarriage, the more we can develop these areas. Many times it was there, but it’s gone now. Why did it go - where is it, and can I get it back. When I say where has “it” gone, or I’ve never seen “it”, can I get “it”, I’m talking about everything from the try a horse has, the play drive, his self-carriage, suppleness, and roundness to respect and confidence.

Liberty is another way to develop ourselves and our horses that you can’t get by only doing 3 of the 4 Savvy’s (Online, Freestyle and Finesse). I really believe the more gadgets, devices, equipment and tools we take away from ourselves the better we get. The tools and equipment we use are a safety net to use while we learn and should be thought of as a way to help the horse make the right choice easier and help make the answers easier to find. The less reliance on tools, gear and equipment to make the horse do something

Put some “Natural Horsemanship” under the Christmas tree this season

Natural Horsemanship with Glenn Stewart

compared to learning the skills needed to become or develop into things we do together with the horse, the closer we get to becoming a “horseman”. You might have heard me say, “You can fool the fans but you can’t fool the players, you can add that we sure can’t fool our horses.” How’s that for a long-winded answer to your question? If you visit our website at www.thehorseranch.com and look under “articles” you can see a little movie clip you might enjoy. It shows a bit about how a horse’s confidence can be built using liberty.

Have fun and enjoy your holidays with your family and with your horse!

Glenn Glenn is now offering year round educational horsemanship programs at his facility near Fort Saint John, BC and is available to travel and conduct clinics.

Christmas Pet Hazards Submitted by Dr. Emily Wilson December is a month of celebration! A time of holidays and laughter, good food and good company, and being thankful for friends and family in our lives as the old year comes to a close. But it’s also a month of hazards for our furry family members. In order to keep the holidays fun and relaxing for every family member regardless of species, here are a few things to keep in mind when the ‘nog is flowing and the wind is blowing!

Turkey, ham, shortbread, Christmas cake, and other goodies, cooked and uncooked, may be delicious for us, but they’re bad for more than just a pet’s waistline.

Fatty table scraps like meat, stuffing, or well-buttered veggies can cause, at best, an upset tummy and a mess on the rug, and at worst, a painful and potentially life-threatening medical condition called pancreatitis.

Chocolate, grapes/raisins, onions, garlic, anything containing a sugar substitute called ‘xylitol’, and of course alcohol, are all toxic to both dogs and cats.

Even small amounts of any of these foods can cause a variety of health problems or even death. As raw dough rises it may lead to abdominal distention and possibly twisting. The result can be lead to cardiovascular compromise, distress, and possibly abdominal surgery.

Holiday plants such as Lilies, Poinsettias, Mistletoe, and Holly can be toxic to your pets. Lilies are especially deadly to cats, causing acute kidney failure. Mistletoe can cause cardiovascular problems generally however, like Poinsettias and Holly, Mistletoe usually leads to the unpleasant gastrointestinal problems such as, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Christmas trees can also pose a hazard. Ornaments containing liquid such as snow globes often contain antifreeze, which is toxic if ingest- ed or even if just spilled on a pet’s fur. Ribbon or tinsel can be irresistible for cats but if swallowed can tangle intestines into knots, requiring surgery to correct. Another tree hazard is the lights. Puppies and kittens will often chew and play

with electrical cords, potentially leading to electrocution or burns. Sharp glass from fallen ornaments or knickknacks can cause a sharp surprise, while open flames from holiday candles can easily singe fur or burn noses.

Even just the stress of the holiday season can get to our pets. Dogs and cats in particular are both creatures of routine, and routine certainly seems to go out the window when the extended family comes to stay! The stress of new faces in the household, with or without new animals, can often lead to behavioral issues such as inappropriate urination and defecation or chewing. New objects in the house bring new scents with them, which can be overwhelming to sensitive noses. This December, make sure that your pet’s routine stays as familiar as possible, and offer them a ‘safe space’ such as a kennel, spare room, or outbuilding to escape to if they begin to feel overwhelmed. This safe space should have a bed or blanket with the pet’s scent on it, be away from prying eyes or excited family members, be relatively quiet, and contain food and water. Remind children to give the pet some space, and make sure that visitors aren’t slipping Fido some tasty treats under the table. If your pet is really feeling the holiday blues, pheromone products such as Feliway® or Adaptil® can help promote feelings of wellbeing and comfort, while calming medications such as Zylkene® are available for highly stressed individuals.

The team at Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic wishes all of you, your families, and your pets a safe and happy holiday season, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! And remember… “If a Christmas tree falls in the house and there’s no one to see it… was it still the cat’s fault?” www.dcvet.ca

things you should know about the TPP as a deal was on the horizon. After the negotiations ended in October, the TPP text offered a glimpse of future business opportunities and challenges if the deal is ratified and implemented.

“While supply and demand fundamentals in both Canada and the U.S. determine regional prices, the lower Canadian dollar provided strong support to profit margins in both the Canadian crop and livestock sectors.”

Interest rate cuts The Bank of Canada cut its benchmark interest rate twice in 2015, mostly in response to the fall in oil prices and the resulting weakness of the Canadian economy.

In comparison, the agriculture sector in Canada remains healthy.

The low interest rate environment has allowed agricultural operations and agri-businesses to leverage growth opportunities and make investments to position themselves for long-term success.

The declining loonie Canadian farm-gate prices in 2015 were a reflection of the Canadian dollar, masking global price declines.

The value of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar declined by $0.10 in 2015 to its current value of $0.75 due to weaker oil prices and changes in interest rates. While supply and demand fundamentals in both Canada and the U.S. determine regional prices, the lower Canadian dollar provided strong support to profit margins in both the Canadian crop and livestock sectors.

While many factors influence prices, consider the following: U.S. corn prices were approximately 10 per cent lower in 2015 over 2014, but Ontario corn prices were nearly four per cent higher in 2015 compared to 2014.

U.S. soybean prices have decreased over 20 per cent but have fallen on average only 13 per cent in Canada, a result of the Canadian dollar.

Cattle and calf prices increased between three and ten per cent in the U.S., compared to a whopping 20 per cent increase in Canada this year.

Different patterns in farm equipment sales Softening commodity prices and the declining Canadian dollar resulted in weaker sales of new farm equipment throughout 2015.

For example, combine sales are 15 per cent lower year-to-date than in 2014 and four-wheel-drive tractor sales are 33 per cent lower.

A slowdown in equipment sales was not unexpected given the high sales volumes experienced in 2013 and 2014. While new equipment sales have weakened, revenues from used equipment sales, parts and service have all risen. Preliminary data indicates used equipment sales could be up as much as 30 per cent. Check back on our webpage as we will release shortly a farm equipment report which will project trends in 2016.

A slowing Chinese economy The Chinese economy continues to decelerate.

Before 2015, China’s GDP was projected to grow at a rate of seven per cent, a slowdown which we thought was was inevitable. China’s final GDP growth in 2015 at the time of writing is projected at 6.8 per cent. As the country transitions from an investment and exportdriven economy to a consumer economy, China’s demand for some commodities has definitely weakened.

However, the demand for agriculture commodities and food has been strong. We project it will remain a growing market for Canadian agriculture.

In early January 2016 we will write about the top economic issues to watch for the year ahead, so please check back with us, but what do you think will make our top five?

The winners were recognized at Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, Saskatchewan on Friday, November 27. The Canadian Angus Association congratulates the winners and thanks all who participated in the Gold Show program in 2015.

The Gold Show program was developed in 1989 by the Canadian Angus Association to provide an incentive for breeders to move between regions to show cattle. Gold Show winners are determined by the animals that earned the highest number of points in three Gold Shows. If an animal accumulated points in more than three Gold Shows, the points from their best three shows were used in determining end-ofyear awards.

The Canadian Angus Association is Canada’s largest purebred beef breed organization. The Association represents 2,700 members across Canada for the purposes of registering and recording the pedigrees of purebred Angus cattle inBull the closed 3rd Annual Sale Herd Book and promoting the breed across Canada. The memberapproved mandate is to maintain breed registry, breed purity and provide services that enhance the growth and position of the Angus breed.

An open letter to the Honourable R. Notley and members of the cabinet

Alberta Canola Producers Commission, Dec 4, 2015 - Please find below an open letter on behalf of a number of organizations representing the majority of Alberta’s agriculture sector. We are calling upon the Government of Alberta to consider farmers and ranchers concerns and suspend the implementation of the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act (Bill 6), and conduct proper and meaningful consultations with farmers and agriculture organizations.

December 4, 2015 Honourable Rachel Notley The Honourable Rachel Notley Premier of Alberta 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6 An Open letter to the Honourable R. Notley and Members of the Cabinet:

The undersigned organizations representing the majority of Alberta’s agriculture sector would like to call upon the Government of Alberta to consider farmers and ranchers concerns and suspend the implementation of the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act (Bill 6), and conduct proper and meaningful consultations with farmers and agriculture organizations.

Our collective organizations believe the government has lost the confidence of approximately 60,000 farmers and ranchers across Alberta and would urge the government to delay any further consideration of Bill 6 in order to earn that confidence back.

The amendments to the bill that your government has recently announced are not sufficient to deal with the deficiencies in the proposed legislation. More clarification and consultation around the specifics of Bill 6

Agriculture is a significant contributor to Alberta’s economy and farmers and ranchers are an important part of the economic and social fabric of this province. The concerns being voiced by farmers, the confusion around the specifics of the legislation and the misinformation being communicated at the Town Hall meetings are issues too important for a flawed bill to be rushed through the legislature without proper consultation with farmers and ranchers.

The provincial commissions have been extremely proactive in trying to represent the interests of farmers on this issue. Most of the provincial crop and livestock commissions met with government officials on a few occasions in 2015 to discuss the government’s intentions to introduce farm safety legislation, and while we pressed for more information regarding the legislation, your officials said they were unable to disclose any of the details until an announcement was made. This is not consultation.

Moving forward, we will continue to press the Government of Alberta to suspend all action on Bill 6 and to work with us toward a solution that enhances farm safety while ensuring that farmers and the industry as a whole have an opportunity for meaningful input.

Regards, Mr. Kent Erickson Chair, Alberta Wheat Commission Mr. Lee Markert Chair, Alberta Canola Producers Commission Mr. Mike Ammeter Chair, Alberta Barley Commission Ms. Allison Ammeter

THE BIG BEND Blueberry Creek Fred Skoworodko Family

Fred Skoworodko was born in Zabolotzie, Russia, in 1893. Vera Smal was also born in Zabolotzie, Russia in 1900. They were married in 1920 and farmed with Fred’s parents, and also lived with them for nine years. They then heard of “the land of milk and honey”, and came to seek their fortune in Canada in July 1929. They had three children who came with them; Anita born in 1921, John born in 1925, and Mike born in 1927.

At that time many people filed on homesteads, sight unseen, and Fred filed on NE 16-80-7-W 6.

In September of 1929 Steve was born, followed by Olga in 1932, and Katie in 1939, bringing their family to six. All six children attended the Blueberry Creek School, and the family helped with the farm work.

In 1947 Fred purchased a country store from Bill

Matiasow at Devale. That fall the store was moved to NE 10-80-7-W6, in the Ksituan district. The family was kept very busy with farm chores and helping operate the store. In the fall of 1953 the senior Skoworodko’s sold the store and bought a revenue home in Edmonton. They lived in Edmonton until 1971 then moved to Pleasant View Lodge in Spirit River for their retirement. Their health was slowly failing, and in 1975 they were moved to Swan Haven Nursing Home in Grande Prairie. Fred passed away in Grande Prairie in 1977, and his wife Vera was moved to the Alberta Hospital in Edmonton in July 1979, and she is still there.

Anita Skoworodko married Charlie Dolhan in 1938. they farmed in the Yellow Creek district on NE l9-80-6-W6 until 1956, then bought NY2 2778-7- W6 north of Spirit River and sold their land at Yellow Creek. Later they sold the farms and bought a home in Spirit River where they now live and enjoy their semi-retirement. They had one son who died at birth in 1942.

John Skoworodko married Marion Nikiforuk in 1948 and they lived on the farm at Rycroft for seven years. They moved to Spirit River in 1955 but retained the farm at Rycroft. John always did trucking and continued in that as well as looking after the farm. They had two children, Kenneth and Lorraine,

who attended the Spirit River School.

Mike Skoworodko married Anita Didyk in 1950, and they lived in Spirit River until 1957. He did trucking, and owned the Cockshutt dealership in Spirit River. This was later sold to Caryk Brothers, and the Mike Skoworodko’s moved to Vanderhoof, B.C., where they continued in the trucking business.

In 1969 they moved to Abbotsford, B.C., and are presently living there, where Mike owns his own trucking business. They had three daughters, Judy, Betty, and Darlene.

Olga Skoworodko married Ted Vansil in 1951.

Olga owns and operates the Charm Beauty Salon in Spirit River. Ted was the town foreman for the town of the Spirit River for many years, and passed away suddenly in 1975. They had one daughter Phyllis who took her schooling in Spirit River.

Steve Skoworodko is an ordained Baptist Minister and is serving a Ukrainian Baptist Church in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He married in Saskatchewan in 1954, and he and his wife Martha have two sons, Lawrence and Dennis.

Kay Skoworodko married Sam Bilozer in 1969.

Kay, a hairdresser, is employed by the Marvel Beauty Schools of Edmonton, and they live in Edmonton.

On the open road Fear Breeds Hatred and Perpetuates Violence

As I read the comments on my Facebook statement where I ask for courage, strength and love to prevail, comments that are spawned from hatred and fear, I am afraid for this beautiful country that I love with all my heart.

As a female of Irish, Scottish, Polish, English and French decent I want to remind every Canadian that our forefathers all came from somewhere else.

As I look back at the history of my family, I realize that some fled the potato famines, some fled persecution and all came here looking for opportunity and a better life, I am sure you can look at your family’s past and see similar things.

Even our First Nations people came from somewhere else before they settled in Canada. Our First Nations peoples have inhabited this country for some 10,000 years.

I ask you to look at the beginnings of this country we call Canada….. First Nations people were slaughtered, and treated horribly by those who came here seeking a better life, not by all, but by some. And see the divisions, the misunderstandings, the hurt and yes hatred this has caused for many.

I believe that we need to continue to strive to be better people than our forefathers were.

Did we learn nothing from our past? Is history always going to repeat itself?

I believe with all my heart that our government needs look after those who already live here much better than they do. I believe we need stronger immigration policies that help us weed out the bad apples BEFORE they arrive here. I believe that we need to look after our veterans, soldiers and their families better than we do. We need to hold our politicians and bureaucrats accountable far better than we do.

I believe ALL OF THAT – HOWEVER… I have some questions to ask of those who are overcome by fear and hatred….

If I said that all Irish Protestants are

violent because of the actions of the IRA or some members of the Orange party in Toronto between 1867 and 1892, would I be right? My great grandmother’s family was Irish Protestant ; none of them was party to any of that, as far as our family history allows us to know.

If I said that all Canadian Frenchmen are divisive and ignorant because of the politics of men like Gilles Duceppe would I be right? My uncles and aunts that I just came home from visiting are for the most part, pretty open minded Frenchmen. They accept this English speaking westerner and between my broken French and their broken English we get along quite well.

If I said that all Polish people were members of organized crime because of the conduct of those who were members of the Pruszków mafia would I be right? My great grandma’s family on my dad’s side was Polish, but in none of their history can I find any reference to them being party to organized crime.

If I said that all Protestant Scotsmen were gang members and criminals because of the conduct of members of the Billy Boys of Brigton Cross, a Scottish Protestant gang, would I be right? Far as I know my great grandfather and grandfather, Scottish Protestants, were farmers, loggers, but no where in their history can I find a connection to the gangs that divided Scotland in the 1920’s and 30’s.

If I said that all Cops are drunks and murderers because of the actions of people like Monte Robinson would I be right? My uncle Serge was a cop for over 35 years; he was and is a moral man, the same with my adopted uncle, Rick.

If I said that all priests were pedophiles because of the conduct of Father Eric Dejaeger, would I be right? My great uncle Armand Plourd was a priest. As far as I know he never molested anyone and was in fact a good man.

If I said that all Grey Friars were child

匀琀愀爀琀椀渀最 䄀甀最甀猀琀 ㄀猀琀Ⰰ ㈀ ㄀㔀

molesters and pedophiles because of the conduct of Brother Stephen Baker would I be right?

My uncle Christopher was a Grey Friar, and as far as I know, he was not a child molester.

If I said all who ride motorcycles are criminal in nature because of the actions of some members of some clubs, would I be right? I ride a motorcycle; I do not view myself as a criminal.

You see if I bought into any of the above statements, my entire family, from every nationality, every walk of life would have to be condemned as “BAD”; myself included.

We can’t say all Italians are mobsters or all Germans are Nazis.

We can’t say that all Muslims are extremists and murderers.

Generalizations, profiling cause a lot of harm to those who do not fit the generalization or profile. We as riders fight it all the time.

What we CAN SAY is that we, the human race, are composed of people who commit acts of kindness and acts of brutality. We CAN SAY that there are good people and bad people in every walk of society, all around the world.

Organizations like Isis, Boko Haram, Al Qaeda etc. win when we let fear take over.

When we profile, the cowards and bullies win. When we generalize, the cowards and bullies win.

When we use generalizations to describe any group of people we do a disservice to all people including ourselves.

You see they, ISIS et al, want the moderate Muslim to turn to them when we “Westerners” start targeting the moderate Muslim as if they were the same as the offenders.

Through our hatred and fear, violence perpetuates and we will add to their numbers until they become powerful.

Again I will state: I believe with all my heart that our government needs look after

those who already live here much better than they do.

I believe we need stronger immigration policies that help us weed out the bad apples BEFORE they arrive here.

I believe that we need to look after our veterans, soldiers and their families better than we do.

We need to hold our politicians and bureaucrats accountable far better than we do.

I am not saying open our doors wide to all, I am saying open our doors after a thorough screening, do everything possible to protect our country and its values but don’t close the door on all because some are assholes. If we closed doors to all because we are afraid of a few, I wonder how many Germans, Poles, Jews, Irish, Scottish, French and English people would live in this melting pot we call Canada.

We need to remember that above all, be you black, red, white or purple, be you Christian, Jew, Muslim, Protestant or Catholic – we are all people first and to generalize, to profile is wrong.

We riders know that better than most.

WE NEED: Courage - we need to have courage, to exhibit courage.

One definition of courage is: “strength in the face of pain or grief.”

Another is “the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain, danger, uncertainty or intimidation.”

Tolerance - we need to have tolerance, to exhibit tolerance.

One definition of tolerance is; the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behaviour that one does not necessarily agree with.

Caution - we need to be cautious, to be protective.

One definition of caution is: care taken to avoid danger or mistakes.

A wise man once said: When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it-always. Mahatma Gandhi He also said: An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Looks complicated, but is easy enough to make for an Old-World treat. I like it best after the second day.”

Ingredients 1/2 pound poppy seeds 3/4 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon butter, melted 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/2 cup hot milk 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water (100 degrees F/38 degrees C) 2 tablespoons white sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup butter 1 egg, separated - white reserved Add all ingredients to list

Place poppy seeds into a food processor and process until seeds are ground, about 1 minute.

2. Mix poppy seeds with 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter, lemon juice, and hot milk in a bowl; stir to combine. Cover poppy seed filling and refrigerate while making bread (filling will set up and thicken as it chills).

3. Mix yeast with water and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Allow to stand until the yeast forms a creamy layer.

4. Whisk flour with salt in a bowl; use a pastry cutter to cut 1/4 cup butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Pour yeast mixture and egg yolk into flour mixture and stir to make a soft dough.

6. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and slightly springy, about 5 minutes. If dough is too sticky, knead in more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time.

7. Cut dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a 12x16-inch rectangle.

8. Spread half the poppy seed filling over each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the 1-inch border back over the filling on all sides and press down.
