Waiting to see the difference DAVID DYCK STAFF WRITER

B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick announced recently that he has made several amendments to Bill 24, the controversial bill that would see the Agricultural Land Commission divide farmland set aside for agricultural use into two separate zones, cut along a north-south divide.

“These amendments will include the ability of the chair or regional panel to raise significant applications to the executive committee of the commission,” said Letnick at a press conference recently. He said that the criteria would be defined later, through regulation.

Another change he announced was that it will outline the priority of the commission’s criteria when determining land-use decisions in Zone 2, the northern region.

“This change is intended to confirm the ALC’s highest priority remains preserving farmland and ensures panels make decisions in the best interest of

agriculture,” Letnick said. “We said at the outset that B.C. is a large and diverse province with different agricultural practices, different population and development pressures, and it’s a province with different social and cultural realities in our different regions.”

The bill underwent a second reading, which, If passed, would make it easier to use designated agricultural land for commercial purposes, especially in B.C.’s North.

“My question around having two zones is: what are they going to allow in the second zone that’s different than we do now?” said Karen Goodings, chair of the Peace River Regional District (PRRD).

“If the focus is still on the preservation of agricultural land, then where is there going to be a difference? Because it still means that the act will prevail.”

The PRRD sent a letter to the minister, asking him to not allow the bill to pass without allowing further consultation with local governments.

If passed, Bill 24 will allow “value-added activities” to take place on some agricultural land in Northeast B.C. “We put forward our concern and he considered it, and he made the decision he made. So we will accept that and work with him,” said Goodings.

She said that she had seen support from some sectors for the bill as well.

But the PRRD chair maintains that both the North and South Peace already

undergo serious community planning to determine which areas should be used for commercial, industrial or residential purposes.

“If it doesn’t fall within the community plan, then I think we have to recognize that maybe some of it shouldn’t happen,” Goodings said.

Ebola death toll rises to 63

Two more people have died of Ebola in Guinea, bringing to 63 the death toll from the deadly virus, health officials said Wednesday.

In an attempt to curb the spread of the virus, the small West African nation banned the sale and consumption of forest animals. Chimpanzees, monkeys, antelopes and rats are delicacies in Guinea and also potential carriers of Ebola.

Last week, Guinea's Ministry of Health registered almost 100 infections since the virus was first reported last month, noting that the outbreak has reached "epidemic proportions." – Agencies Ebola is one of the most contagious viral diseases known, often resulting in death. The virus cannot be prevented with a vaccine and is untreatable with medication.

Alberta Wheat Commission Invests $1.5 Million into Research AGRI-NEWS MAY 12, 2014

The Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC) is investing $1.5 million in 10 agronomic and breeding/genetic research projects as part of the Agriculture Funding Consortium (AFC), a group of 14 funding organizations that have partnered together to collaborate on agriculture research funding.

“Research is a top priority for the commission with 40 per cent of AWC producer checkoff dollars going into research projects,” said Kent Erickson, AWC director, “and the focus of that research is anything that advances the wheat industry in Alberta.”

Of the 10 projects AWC is involved in, five are focused on genetics, four on agronomic management, and one on both agronomy and genetics. In total, the AFC partnership is investing $9 million directed to provincial, national and academic institutions for the research.

Erickson said that by partnering with a number of different agriculture groups including the Western Grains Research Foundation, Alberta In-

novates Bio-Solutions, Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund, Alberta Pulse Growers Commission, Al-

berta Barley, the Alberta Canola Producers Commission and the Potato Growers of Alberta to name a few, it allows the

NAME IN THE NEWS

Tony Fisher

r001765773

has been fired as president of Target Canada in favour of a veteran of its U.S. business, Mark Schindele.

Fisher oversaw Target’s ambitious opening of 127 stores in this country, but the retailer unexpectedly faltered in this market despite high awareness and enjoyment of the brand by many Canadians.

Sales have been weak and the company recorded a loss of nearly a billion dollars in its first year.

Growing on UP

With some sharp losses this week, many market participants are blaming the end of the calendar month as the reason as funds try to shore up their books and withdraw cash to pay off clients requesting their investment back. In my opinion though, the fundamentals are still the main factor for markets dropping. This is simply the time of the year where the northern hemisphere harvest starts to ramp up and world production numbers are better known. Combine this with the fact that growing conditions are pretty decent despite the slow starts as planting paces are near seasonal averages (although western Manitoba & eastern Saskatchewan are still very wet). There’s a lack of weather concerns not just in North America but all over the world (although that’ll likely change in a few months when the expected El Nino weather pattern makes landfall). U.S. winter wheat conditions seem to be stabilizing as rains in the Midwest have helped the crop. While it’s guaranteed now that the crop will still be smaller, conditions are looking pretty good for the U.S. corn and soybean to grow up out of the ground (which would more than make up for less domestic wheat supply available).

Canola is also off its highs from earlier in the month, despite more demand slated for the Canadian oilseed.

Richardson just completed a $30 million expansion of its Yorkton, SK processer, increasing daily volumes 25 per cent to 3,000 MT. The company, which already has 1.5 million tonnes of annual crush capacity, is considering expanding its Lethbridge plant. Also, as mentioned previously, a new plant in Quebec with capabilities of up to 500,000 MT of canola a year can also assist in supporting prices, but as mentioned, crop conditions are generally solid right now, which in turn is seen as bearish. Switching gears, the Canadian Canola Growers Association joined Louis Dreyfus in filing a service complaint with the Canadian Transportation Agency, arguing that the railroads did not fulfill their duty this past crop year. With the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act still a hot topic, it’s an interesting move to see a producer organization to levy a service complaint with C.T.A (but kudos to them for stepping up).

Getting political, the Chocolate King of Ukraine, AKA Petro Poroshenko, has been elected as the new President of Ukraine. The new leader comes into power with already a full plate, what with trying to calm relations with Russia and civil war certainly on the brink in Eastern Ukraine. Across the Black Sea in Egypt, residents have reportedly voted in former military chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, one of the main architects behind the aforementioned removal of the last president. Just like Porosehnko, al-Sisi will also have his hands full as Egypt continues to be divided. This news is important because these countries are trying to grow out their instability and more importantly, one is one of the world’s largest grain producer and exporter (Ukraine) while the other (Egypt) is only the world’s biggest wheat buyer so I’d say what happens there politically is pretty important.

Canola Growers File Level of Service Complaint with Canadian Transportation Agency CANADIAN CANOLA GROWERS ASSOCIATION MEDIA RELEASE

The Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) has filed a Level of Service Complaint with the Canadian Transportation Agency, contending that Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway did not fulfill their common carrier obligations for the movement of Western Canadian grains and oilseeds this crop year.

“The breakdown of the Western Canadian rail transportation system this year is completely unacceptable for grain producers,” says Brett Halstead, President of CCGA and a farmer from Nokomis, Saskatchewan. “Ultimately, it is farmers who are bearing the cost of this supply

chain failure.”

CCGA has filed its complaint referencing sections 113 through 116 of the Canada Transportation Act, which states that the railways shall provide “adequate and suitable” accommodation for all traffic presented to it for carriage.

“The 2013-14 shipping record shows just how inadequate the railways have been in meeting the needs of grain shippers,” says Halstead. “Farmers simply cannot tolerate a repeat of this year’s events.”

Halstead cites a number of consequences farmers are facing as a result, including, unprecedented carryout stocks that will negatively impact the markets for several years to come; a sustained wide basis; and a potential shrinking or

loss of international markets due to perceived vulnerability and ineffectiveness of the Canadian supply chain.

“A Level of Service complaint is a serious undertaking, but in the face of the dismal rail system performance it is farmers’ only recourse,” says Rick White, CEO of CCGA. “The railways cannot continue to restrict the commercial success of the Canadian grain sector and the broader national economy to fit their business plans or their historic approach to operations.”

Farmers have repeatedly asked for more predictable, timely and efficient rail service and commercial accountability from all supply chain participants.

The Canadian Transportation Agency will investigate the complaint and issue a

determination within 120 days of receiving the complaint.

“We have compelling arguments that the railways have failed in their statutory service obligations, and we are asking the Agency for a decision,” says White.

“This complaint is about clarifying the statutory obligations of the railways to provide suitable and adequate service, now and for the future.”

CCGA represents more than 43,000 canola farmers on national and international issues, policies and programs that impact farm profitability.

Canola to be stored on farm through summer will be safer if warmed up before outside temperatures get hot “The goal is to reduce the temperature differential between stored canola and the outside air,” says Angela Brackenreed, agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada. “This reduces the amount of moisture movement within the bin, and can prevent the concentration of moisture that can lead to spoilage and heating.”

Cold grain should be turned or aerated to raise the grain temperature to between 5°C and 10°C. Joy Agnew, a grain storage researcher with the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI), says now is a good time to warm up dry grain. “If you use air that is more than 10°C warmer than the grain, the air will lose its ability to hold its moisture as soon as it hits the cool grain. This means it will condense on the grain and possibly freeze — which would cause major airflow issues,” she says.

Agnew recommends turning the grain after it has been warmed. “If possible, entirely empty the bin and put it into another aeration bin,” she says. “If this is not possible, pull out several loads and put them back on top of the same bin. The goal here is to try to mix the grain to help even out the temperature variations and help warm up the grain a bit more.” She recommends that stored canola remain below 15°C. The larger the bin, the greater the risk of spoilage if

canola is not warmed. “Bins larger than 5,000 bushels are more susceptible to moisture migration because there will be a greater temperature differential between the outer edge and the core of the bin,” Agnew says.

Canola that went into the bin with moisture above 10 percent, even above eight percent, deserves extra attention this time of year.

“Tough canola is at much higher risk, and it should be dried if it can’t be delivered right away,” Brackenreed says.

A hot air dryer will do the job quickly. Natural air drying with aeration fans can also work, but the ideal conditions for this technique are when outside air temperature is higher than 15°C and humidity is lower than 65 percent.

Agnew adds that canola dried with a hot air dryer should be cooled to 15°C for storage.

The use of plant growth regulators (PGR’s) has garnered a lot of attention as an agronomic tool from growers. PGR’s are synthetic compounds that exhibit hormonal activity to beneficially modify plant growth.

The ones of interest to western Canadian growers alter the plant’s hormonal system so that crops are shorter with thicker and stronger stems to improve lodging resistance.

Sheri Strydhorst, agronomy research scientist with Alberta Agriculture said that in 2013, lodging was a fairly big problem with the high moisture, high fertility and the high yields in Alberta. “While the biggest improvement is with harvestability, PGR’s have oc-

casionally shown increases in yield and improvements in rooting,” Strydhorst said.

PGR’s have been used in Europe for many years and in North American horticulture and fruit production but for cereal production in Western Canada this is fairly new. Currently, two products are in the process of being registered which should be widely available to producers in the upcoming years and focus solely on wheat production.

ARD agronomy scientists are looking to expand the use of PGR’s to barley and will continue to do research on other crops such as peas in the near future.

Grande Prairie Fall Home & Leisure Show is Bringing Home One of Our Own!

(May 28, 2014) The Fall Home and Leisure Show announced today that they are bringing a Peace Country design expert home for the weekend. Jillian Harris, from Peace River Alberta and best known for her practical renovation and design ideas on Love It or List It Vancouver, will headline the fall consumer show October 3-5, 2014 featuring Home and Leisure activities for the upcoming season.

“We are thrilled to have Jillian join us for the show. She is fantastic to work with, and agrees that to truly share her advice she will actually transform the stage before your eyes...no PowerPoint presentation here! “, says Debbie Reid, owner and producer of the Fall Home and Leisure Show. “We want people to be able to actually experience the creativity and design process before their eyes. Jillian is up for that challenge.”

Growing up in the picturesque Peace River valley in Alberta was a catalyst for Jillian’s creativity and vivacious character. A self-proclaimed “polished redneck,” she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty or climb a ladder with heels on. Whether applied to design or daily life, she carefully combines elements of the metropolis and country, low brow and high class, and the classic versus the absurd. From ATV’ing and campfire roasts to perusing the shops of the Merchandise Mart for design trends, or searching endlessly for the perfect pair of heels, Jillian’s motto about ‘doing it all’ never rests.

While this lifestyle makes Jill the quintessential “busy bee,” those close to her would say her passion to make others happy might be the highlight to her multi-faceted personality.

Having previously hosted Canada’s Handyman Challenge, and having worked as a designer on Extreme Makeover: Home Addition, co-hosting Love it or List it Vancouver is a natural fit for Jillian.

“We are so excited to have someone of Jillian’s background join us. She has become a catalyst for ideas that we want to add to the show with the consumer in mind. We have changed up the floor plan to free up some great exhibition space and we have combined the stage and the family friendly lounge seating area. We are also looking for random ideas from our exhibitors to bring entertainment to the show...pop up entertainment if you will,” says Debbie Reid. “We want to take the trade show concept and turn it on its head!”

The Fall Home and Leisure show is held at Evergreen Park Entrec Centre October 3-5, 2014. Visit fhls.ca or like them on Facebook to keep up to date on show details. For more information, contact Debbie Reid at 780-814-1934.

JOHN HARVEY WILES 1931 – 2014 for many years was a goal judge for the Flyers. He and Phylis hunted, camped and enjoyed local rodeos. Family ball games were always great fun. Harvey’s appreciation and involvement in sport was passed down thru the generations.

During his years of ranching Harvey served on the Co-op Board and President of Cecil Lake Community Pasture Association. The North Peace Cattlemen and BC Angus Association recognized Harvey and Phylis’ dedication and commitment to the cattle industry. Also from 1978 to 1987, they sponsored I.A.E.A trainees.

Sometimes a tough exterior was portrayed but the sparkling blue eyes could swell with crocodile tears and give way to a soft heart, especially when the younger generations were involved. Family was important to Harvey making his 2 children, 6 grandchildren, and 10 great- grandchildren always feel special. This love of family was especially evident on cattle drives, 4-H events, hockey, ball, and other sporting events. Harvey was an enthusiastic sports fan that always made his kids and grandkids feel proud that he was present.

Harvey’s sense of humor and quick wit were never in short supply. He was a master tease and good jokes were shared with all. A recent conversation with Robert on the yearling bulls that had been picked for this summer’s breeding: Harvey said one of the young bulls had gotten into a pen, unnoticed, with a few hot cows. Robert replied you are selling me a 2nd hand bull Har-

Harvey Wiles was born May 16th, 1931 on the original Wiles homestead near Taylor, BC. He was the eldest of three children of Hart and Louise Wiles. Harvey attended Taylor School by horseback in the summer and dog toboggan through the winter months.

He graduated from North Peace High School while working at the Co-op Hardware Store.

Harvey had an incredible work ethic that was ingrained from an early age.

After three years at the Co-op, he came home to farm the homestead in 1950 and did so for the next 64 years.

July 16th 1950, Harvey married Phylis Wood; their son, Brad was born in 1951 and daughter, Marion in 1953.

Harvey and Phylis grew grain and raised pigs with a few head of cattle in the beginning. As the grain prices shrunk the cow herd increased. The herd started with dual purpose shorthorns. Milk and eggs were sold to the workers at Taylor when the plant was being built in the late 50s. Angus started showing up in the herd and soon Harvey was showing an interest in the exotic Simmentals. The first purebred herd was Harvey’s Simmentals…and by 1976 the purebred Black Angus herd was on the scene. There were many friendly “discussions” about the merits of Simmental versus Angus. The years passed quickly with calving, branding, cows to pasture, haying, roundup and auction. Year-end saw time for taking in the Canadian rodeo finals and Northlands Farmfair in Edmonton.

Harvey enjoyed playing hockey and

vey assured Robert it wasn’t second hand; rather it was a proven bull.

April 10/14, was the last trip to the DC auction mart, about 3 hours into the sale he closed his eyes for a few minutes, upon opening them he looked at Marion in disgust and said “turn that noise down!” She told him that Shawn, the auctioneer probably wouldn’t listen to her, his eyes twinkled and he chuckled.

As a last request Harvey’s wish was to thank family, friends, and acquaintances who have contributed in so many ways over the decades of his life. He wanted everyone to know how much better his life was for it.

Predeceased by Parents: Hart + Louise Wiles, Brother: Doug Wiles, and Son-in-Law: Neil Thompson.

Lovingly Remembered By: Partner and Wife of 63 years: Phylis; Sister: Ethelanne (Melvin) Stewart; Son: Brad (Marilyn) + Daughter: Marion (Robert) Rhode; Grandchildren: Amber (Tom)

That is the question. Traditionally, hay and pasture land was see ch full production. “Using herbicides to clean up the field and direct seeding to reduce soil erosion eliminates the need for a cover crop,” said Linda Hunt, forage specialist at Alberta Agriculture.

Another reason that a cover crop may be seeded is to act as a carrier to prevent bridging in the seed hopper. The goal should be to use the minimum amount of grain to minimize completion for light, moisture and nutrients. A high phosphorus fertilizer is sometimes used as a carrier however the fertilizer can negatively affect the inoculant on the alfalfa.

The term cover crop is often used to refer to companion cropping. In a companion cropping system the goal is to maximize the yield on both crops. There has been a lot of research on companion cropping systems and the results are variable. In most cases, yields of the two crops seeded together are lower than if each crop was seeded separately.

Results are best when the two crops are even competitors with different harvest dates, and are highly dependent on the right moisture at the right time. Alfalfa and annual cereals are not even competitors and so companion cropping alfalfa with cereal silage is a risky practice and is not recommended.

Another type of cover crop system that is gaining popularity is the practice of seeding a mixture of several soil building plants after an annual crop is removed. The idea is that the plants will condition the soil by encouraging the development of favorable microbes and organic matter. The goal of these systems is to have the soil always growing and covered.

These crops are then grazed, winter killed, or killed with herbicide and the next annual crop is direct seeded into the residue. This system should not be confused with the cover cropping systems recommended for establishing perennial forages.

Clean fields and direct seeders are ideal for maximizing yields in the first year and establishing crops quickly.

“Choosing whether to use a cover crop or not will depend on the state of your field and your equipment. When you have the option to not use a cover crop take it,” Hunt said, “the most productive years for alfalfa are the first five to six after seeding. Thin crops that take years to fill in seldom reach their maximum potential yield.”

Alberta Open Farm Days AGRI-NEWS MAY 26, 2014

Alberta Open Farm Days runs from August 23 to 24, 2014, and offers visitors a fun and educational look at rural life. The event offers farm-to-table culinary events on the Saturday and free open houses at farms across the province on the Sunday.

“We’ve already got 22 farms registered for the open houses and we’re hoping for 60,” says Patricia Macklin, senior project coordinator, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Edmonton.

“Being a host farm is a great opportunity to show the work that you do to provide safe and healthy food, grow alternative fibres, and steward the land and wildlife of Alberta.”

Participating farms are required to offer an agricultural experience, have free admission the day of the event, follow the provided event guidelines, and have adequate liability insurance

to cover the activities taking place.

“You can consider planning an educational experience or activity, a farm tour or a demonstration,” says Macklin. “It’s an opportunity for visitors to learn what you do, and to possibly purchase what you produce.”

The deadline for registering as a participating farm is June 30, 2014. For more information, email openfarmdays@gov.ab.ca or visit http://www.albertafarmdays. com for a list of farms that are already registered, and to download a host farm participation form.

by Allison Finnamore The Canadian Grain Commission has updated tolerances for ergot and sclerotinia for most classes of wheat, as well as new tolerances for fusariumdamaged kernels of barley and Canadian eastern and western foods.

The new tolerances for ergot and sclerotinia take effect in Eastern Canada on July 1 and in Western Canada on Aug. 1.

Daryl Beswitherick, program manager of quality assurance standards at the Canadian Grain Commission says creating consistency in grading will provide clarity.

“While sclerotinia is not toxic like ergot, we keep the tolerances the same for both because sclerotinia is very similar in appearance to ergot,” Beswitherick says. “By keeping tolerances the same for both of these grading factors, we can mitigate risk caused by any potential confusion between the two.”

For fusarium, Canadian eastern will be updated to be a closer match to Oats, Canada Western. The Canadian Grain Commission says the changes are based on recommendations by the Western

Standards Committee and the Eastern Standards Committee at their meetings earlier this spring.

Currently, the ergot tolerance for Canadian wheat varies depending on the grade and class of wheat. Most classes have an ergot tolerance of 0.01 per cent for No. 1 and 0.02 per cent for No. 2, while extra strong, Prairie spring white and Prairie spring red have an ergot tolerance of 0.03 per cent for No. 1 and 0.06 per cent for No. 2.

Although the new tolerances are wider for many classes, they are marginally tighter than Codex Alimentarius standards (international standards related to food). The Canadian Grains Commission explains that means more wheat may be eligible for delivery into higher grades without compromising safety.

The Eastern Standards Committee recommendations from April 9 are located here and the Western Standards Committee recommendations from April 8 are located here.

Elwin Hermanson, chief commissioner of the Canadian Grain Commission, says the grading changes provide uniformity across the country and ensures a reputation of quality.

16 The Northern Horizon, June 6, 2014

Outstanding volunteer leaders are recognized by 4-H Canada and CIBC Ottawa, ON – May 21, 2014 – 4-H Canada and CIBC are pleased to announce the 2013 National Volunteer Leader of the Year as well as provincial winners.

4-H is about building responsible, caring and strong leaders that affect positive change in the world around them. 4-H leaders play the most significant and pivotal role in this development and are the reason young people succeed.

“We are so impressed by the commitment of all our volunteer 4-H leaders and we are honoured that these dedicated people want to be part of 4-H in Canada, said Shannon Benner, CEO of 4-H Canada. We are also very

fortunate that CIBC understands the importance of recognizing responsible and motivated leaders in Canada.”

The call for nominations for the National Volunteer Leader of the Year took place in December 2013 and was driven by member reference letters and recommendations. Seven provincial winners were selected from the applicants and these winners moved forward to a national judging panel.

“At CIBC, we are committed to serving the needs of rural and agriculture communities across Canada,” said Iain McIntyre, Director and Team Leader, Commercial Banking, CIBC. “For over 60 years, CIBC has been a proud partner of 4-H Canada and we’re

Time to Watch for Ticks AGRI-NEWS JUNE 2, 2014

With tick season upon us, Dr. Gerald Hauer, Alberta’s chief veterinarian, says the provincial tick surveillance program is an effective tool to monitor the possible threat posed by the parasites. The program helps officials gain a better understanding of the tick population numbers in Alberta.

“We need to get a better understanding of what’s here and their ability to carry Lyme disease which can affect both people and animals,” said Dr. Hauer.

The program uses a multi-stakeholder approach by inviting Albertans to submit ticks they’ve discovered on their animals to their local veterinarians who will then relay them to the Office of the Chief Provincial veterinarian, a part of the Animal Health and Assurance Division of Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development.

Getting the tick tested can help determine if medical treatment is necessary

for the animal. “We identify them and if they are the species that can carry the disease we test them for the bacteria that causes Lyme disease,” said Dr. Hauer.

If one tests positive, the local vet is alerted who will in turn contact the pet or livestock owner and inform them of the result. The vet will also give the owner advice on what to look out for and what kind of treatment would be necessary.

In 2013 Alberta Health Services and Alberta Health partnered with ARD’s tick surveillance, allowing for ticks found on humans to be submitted. If someone finds a tick on themselves they are encouraged to contact their local public health clinic to get the tick tested.

This reportable disease can cause illness in people, wildlife and domestic animals if the tick remains attached for longer than 24 hours.

Making visits to the vet less stressful ARTICLE SUBMITTED BY DR. ZOE ROSS

Different pets react to visiting the vet differently. Some are so happy and excited to see us and think it is a great adventure while others are absolutely terrified and think that going to the vet is the most stressful thing they have ever been subjected to. We do everything we can to make the visit as pleasant as possible but let’s face it – getting needles, having your nails trimmed and having your temperature checked are not always the most pleasant experiences when you are a dog or cat. Some of the things we have incorporated into our new clinic to make visits more pleasant are: 1) Special cat waiting areas so that cats don’t have to deal with the big happy dogs that just want to say hi or think it might be fun to play a game of tag.

2) Separate dog and cat boarding areas so if cats do have to spend some time at the clinic, they have a quiet area

to stay.

3) Individual dog runs and very large kennels so dogs are more comfortable when they are hospitalized.

4) Treats are always available to make the experience more enjoyable.

5) Our staff has had training in animal handling to help restrain the less cooperative patients in a way that makes it safe and less stressful.

6) Pheromones in the exam rooms to help with calming.

There are also lots of things you can do as an owner to make veterinary visits a little less stressful for your pet.

1) Bring your pet in for “Happy Visits”. If you bring your pet in periodically just for a visit and nothing painful or uncomfortable is done to him/her this may help decrease some of the anxiety your pet feels when coming into the clinic. You can weigh your pet, take it into an exam room, we can give it treats and lots of positive attention and then you can take him/her home.

2) You can bring your pet’s

favorite toys or treats with you to the clinic to help alleviate their stress and make it a more enjoyable experience for them. You can also not feed them breakfast on the day of the exam so they are more interested in treats and we can use treats as a reward and as a distraction when an unpleasant procedure is being done.

3) Cats often get very stressed about being put in a cat carrier and many are only put in the carrier to go the vet or travel which they associate with an unpleasant experience. Encourage your cat to use the cat carrier for pleasant experiences – at home let them have treats in the carrier, explore it on their own or nap in it. There are many different types of cat carriers and I prefer those that the entire top half can be easily removed. This makes it easier both to get cats in and out of the carrier and in some cases cats seem more comfortable being examined curled up in the carrier and if the top comes off I can do this.

B.C. nearing cat crisis: SPCA BETHANY LINDSAY VICTORIA TIMES-COLONIST

The overabundance of cats in B.C. has reached crisis proportions, according to SPCA officials who say they are taking in about 13,000 abandoned cats and kittens every year.

B.C. SPCA spokeswoman Lorie Chortyk said the exploding homeless feline population is now the biggest animal issue in the province, and solving the problem will require a huge attitude shift.

“I think there’s this underlying problem that society just doesn’t seem to value cats in the same way they do dogs,” Chortyk said.

“They’re viewed as disposable pets. Cats are outdoors, they’re multiplying. People don’t invest the money to spay and neuter cats in the same way that they do dogs. They don’t put permanent identification on cats the same way that they do dogs.”

A major focus of the SPCA’s new five-year plan is on finding solutions to this cat crisis, which Chortyk

described as a preventable problem caused by human behaviour.

Tens of thousands of cats and kittens are currently homeless in B.C., and an estimated 75 per cent will die before they reach six months of age, according to the SPCA. “They just die such horrific deaths — from starvation, from predator attacks, from being hit by cars.

It’s just so sad,” Chortyk said.

Those that survive live an average of two years, during which time they will reproduce and create new litters of kittens that will face the same hard odds. The lucky ones may get turned over to the SPCA, but many of those are so injured, sick, dehydrated or malnourished that they will not survive.

Chortyk said that B.C. had a similar problem with dogs in the 1970s and ’80s, when people were thoughtlessly breeding their animals and letting them run wild.

Since then, there has been a big push to spay and neuter puppies, and provide dogs with permanent identification markers.

4) Pheromones are available for both dogs and cats which have some relaxing effects. Feliway and Dog Appeasing Pheromone are both available.

These can be sprayed in carriers or on blankets for pets.

5) Obedience training can help as well as working with your pet especially when they are young to learn to open their mouths, have their feet touched and handled and to lay on their sides so when they are asked to do this at the veterinary clinic it isn’t as frightening for them.

6) In severe cases where pets are very anxious and are at risk of hurting themselves, their owners or the veterinarian, sedatives or anti-anxiety medications can be used.

We strive to make visits as pleasant as possible for both pets and their owners and hope that these suggestions are helpful. We welcome animals any time for “Happy Visits”.

850 pound steers in 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 and 36 week price coverage increments from the purchase date of the cattle. “At the present time, the 32 and 36 week intervals are not available in Alberta,” says Nibourg.

“For the purpose of this example the 16 week coverage level fits best. On May 13th, the 16 week insured index was $184 per cwt. Premiums for that coverage were $1.70 per cwt of expect sale weight. For an additional cost of $13.60 a producer can lock in a profit of approximately $146 per head.”

Nibourg says producers can use these examples to help develop profitability estimates for their own grasser operations, and that using the WLPIP will help reduce downside price risk. Information about the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program can be found at http://www.wlpip.ca/cattle.

“While WLPIP can help manage price risk, there are other risks that have to be considered and managed,” adds Nibourg. “The two main production risks that have to be managed are the potential for reduced gains and increased death losses. These can adversely affect profit.”

to a record $5.55 in the first quarter of 2014. U.S. retail beef prices in 2014 are now expected to average $5.67 per pound, an increase of seven per cent over last year.

“Current live cattle futures markets are taking a more moderate approach to prices for the rest of the year now that the highs of the year are likely behind us,” Hurt says. “Prices of finished cattle are expected to move downward to the mid-to-lower $140s in May and June.

“Prices are expected to dip more in the third quarter with an average in the $135 to $139 range, and then recover into the low to mid-$140s for the last quarter average. Prices in 2013 averaged $126, and this year’s new record is expected to be near $142.”

Is there an imminent beef producer expansion? Hurt says unexplained high prices in the first four months of 2014 have added new excitement for cattle producers as they see strong profitability potential for the first time in years.

This means that the conditions have become positive for some beef-cow producers to move toward expansion.

“The expansion of the beef herd is just beginning and will likely extend for multiple years,” Hurt concludes. “This means small supplies and strong prices of beef in 2015 and 2016. Beef producers on both sides of the border, however, should expect both poultry and pork production to grow rapidly in 2015 and 2016.”

r001683289

by Mike Jubinville of Pro Farmer Canada There are many causes for skyrocketing cattle prices in 2014, but production and price profiles on either side of the Canada-U.S. border are a bit different.

The U.S. herd size is 10 times that of Canada, which means prices in Canada, for the most part, follow the trend established by the U.S. market, albeit with a widening differential due to the U.S. country of origin labeling.

Price hikes higher than expected from production declines leaves demand as the real driver. Or does it? Do we have a case of “buy the rumour, sell the fact”?

High cattle prices this year aren’t all that surprising, but the lofty heights of new price records certainly are, says Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt.

One record, posted by Nebraska steers, shows an average of $147 per live hundredweight -- more than $20 higher than the previous first-quarter record price. In percentage terms, finished cattle prices in the first quarter this year were up 17 per cent and production was down only four per cent.

In Canada, fed steer spot cash prices in the first quarter averaged $137 per hundredweight, up $23 or 18 per cent from a year ago; cash-to-cash price spreads with Nebraska widened out by $8 in the first quarter of 2014; and total beef production from Canadian plants is up five per cent, mostly on higher

kill volumes of steers and heifers offset partly by lower cow slaughter.

Other U.S. meat factors dominate total supplies.

“It is easy to list some possible causes, but none of them seem to be large enough to have caused such startlingly high prices,” Hurt says. “We start with the fact that meat and poultry supplies all were low. The broiler egg hatchability has been low, reducing chicken supplies below expectations.”

The PED virus in hogs may have been the real kicker, primarily because the pork market seems to have sharply overshot prices due to the uncertainty of the actual death loss from the disease, Hurt says.

There were also arguments that demand was very strong, but first-quarter GDP growth of only 0.1 per cent seems to discredit this argument at least for domestic consumption. Data on trade are positive, but not enough to explain such high prices.

“Much like pork, we are left with an incomplete understanding of why cattle prices were so high, especially in March and April,” Hurt continues. “As in the pork sector, this may mean that cattle prices were caught up in the fear of very short meat and poultry supplies and may have become overpriced.”

Hurt says this may be another example of the old market adage of “buy the rumor and sell the fact.”

Record beef prices for consumers have also become a reality. In 2013, U.S. retail beef prices averaged $5.29 per pound but moved

Low-stress cattle handling SAFEFARM SPRING 2013

By R. Gill, C. Pate and R. Machen Source: Cattle Handling Pointers Safe and effective cattle handling has always been important. In the last few years there has been a move toward what has been called low-stress handling or as we prefer to call it a return to sound stockmanship. Following is a list of ten handling pointers worthy of review before your next trip to the pasture or pens.

The role of a stockman is to create movement in cattle and then use position to control and manage that movement to the desired result. When cattle lose movement they become reluctant to work for you and excessive pressure and driving aids are more likely to be used to force movement within the cattle. Creating and managing movement is the key to low-stress cattle handling.

There are three basic principles of cattle behavior that, when used properly, can improve the ease and speed of working cattle while reducing stress and increasing safety and efficiency.

Those principles are: 1. Cattle want to see you An understanding of how cattle see is basic to getting cattle to respond to your position when working livestock.

Cattle can see everywhere but directly behind them or a small blind spot in front of them. Movement toward the blind spot behind them causes an animal to turn their head to keep you in their line of sight. This can be used to your advantage to change direction of cattle or to your detriment if you are trying to drive cattle straight. When working from behind, it is important to keep moving side to side to prevent cattle from turning in an effort to keep you in their line of sight.

2. Cattle want to go around you Armed with this tip, position yourself such that, when they do go around you, they are pointed directly at the gate or destination you had in mind. They’ll think it was their idea to go there!

3. Cattle want to be with and will go to other cattle A herding instinct is natural among ‘prey’ animals. There is safety in numbers and they know it. As stockmen we can take advantage of this natural instinct as we work from the front of cattle. If you start moving the cattle in the front, the animals in the back will follow. This is also why you should never leave one animal alone in a pen.

Keeping these three principles in mind, following are a few suggestions that will improve the ease of handling cattle, whether they are being gathered

zones or points of balance will impact how the animal responds.

Where each animal’s point of balance falls varies greatly and is influenced by pressure in front or behind, draw of cattle ahead or behind them, and whether or not they are comfortable going by the handler. Suffice it to say that the point of balance on any given animal is not where it is drawn on this diagram.

Forget the angles and circles drawn in the diagram. It is the responsibility of each and every person handling cattle to be able to read and determine where these points are on each animal or herd you approach. About the only thing that is correct is the representation of the blind spot in the diagram. It is extremely difficult to stay in an animal’s blind spot. They will turn their head slightly to keep you in their line of sight. You can use this to your advantage to draw cattle to one eye or the other when working from behind.

Apply pressure when cattle have a place to go Low stress livestock handling is not about handling cattle with no pressure.

In fact the success of handling cattle correctly depends on knowing when and where to apply pressure and how much pressure to apply. The other key

from the pasture or processed through the corrals.

The only way to work cattle quickly is slowly Patience is a great virtue when gathering and working cattle. When we get in a hurry, inevitably we put excessive or incorrect pressure on cattle, which usually results in an unintended reaction from the cattle. Then we get to ride (or walk) to the back and start over...

Work from the front to draw cattle to you This goes back to the first basic principle. Cattle can be easily controlled from the front if they are not afraid of a human. (If they are afraid you are a long way from being able to handle cattle using low-stress principles.)

Working from the front helps keep cattle from wanting to turn back in an effort to keep you in their line of sight.

By moving in and out of the flight zone and point of balance, cattle can be easily drawn forward and past you to get them to go where you need them to go.

Most people have seen this diagram outlining the flight zone and point of balance on a cow. However, it is important to remember that these are all just in theory and each individual animal will react differently to body position within these zones. The manner in which you approach or enter these

Low-stress cattle handling component to low-stress handling is setting the cattle up to go where you want them to go before you apply pressure. It is also just as important to release the pressure as soon as the desired result is achieved.

Cattle must be comfortable to go by you and stay straight If cattle are not comfortable going by you, they will not work for you very well. Working from the front requires you to enable the cattle to pass you without balking or spooking. This simple principle facilitates penning, sorting and processing cattle.

The further forward you can make an animal’s point of balance the easier it is to work and sort cattle.

That is why using the draw of other cattle makes it easier to work and sort cattle in an alley or from one corral to another.

If an animal is abruptly stopped when it tries to pass the handler they will be increasingly reluctant to try and come by the handler. That is why it is important to not stop forward motion abruptly but rather allow the animal time and room to turn back until it is time for you to release the pressure by stepping out and toward them and asking them to go by, simply by changing your body position.

This simple procedure of properly stopping and turning cattle away or back will make the difference in how cattle work throughout the day and their life.

If the handler has to move past the point of balance as shown in the above diagram to get an animal out of the group, that can put the handler out of position to control movement of the cattle behind them, further aggravating the problem.

The key is to position yourself such that, when cattle go where they want to go, it is exactly where you intended for them to be.

When working cattle, move in triangles Sounds odd, but it works. Move in straight lines.

For example, if you work in an arch pattern behind cattle, you will find them being drawn from side to side (and consequently walking in a zigzag pattern) as they follow your movement. Move into their flight zone to create or correct movement. Retreat from their flight zone to slow or stop movement.

Pressure cattle from behind only when absolutely necessary Like any ‘prey’ animal, cattle cannot see directly behind themselves. If you assume a position directly behind cattle (in their blind spot), they will turn to one side or the other in order to see you. To ‘drive’ cattle in a straight line, assume a position behind their point of balance (shoulder) and off to either side.

Cattle work best when they are ready – you have to get them there Cattle are not mind readers. You have to teach, condition and prepare them. Unfortunately, today’s cattle owners are short on time and experienced labour, and consequently, don’t spend time with their cattle as did the stockmen of days gone by. Perhaps there’s not time to educate the entire existing herd, but quality time spent with replacement heifers will pay dividends for years to come. Spend time with heifers (in both the pasture and the pens) when you want to, not just when you have to.

Canfax launches new livestock app AGRI-NEWS MAY 26, 2014

Michael Hall, executive director of the Canadian Livestock Genetics Association says the agreement will allow members to grow their businesses.

“The opportunity to export live breeding animals is a key component to the success of the Canadian livestock industry,” Hall says.

In 2013, Canadian exports of agriculture and food products to Ukraine were valued at $75 million. Two-way trade between Canada and Ukraine has increased by 65 per cent between 2008 and 2013.

In 2013, Canada exported over $1.5 million in live breeding cattle to Ukraine.

FARM CREDIT CANADA MAY 30, 2014

by Allison Finnamore Canadian sheep and goat producers are poised to expand their sales into Ukraine with a new federal agreement.

Ukrainian sheep and goat breeders will have the opportunity to expand their breeding livestock genetics, says the federal government, with new market access for live small ruminants.

Canadian livestock breeders will use an updated and improved veterinary health certificate for export of purebred cattle to Ukraine. This will maintain the access to this market that was first secured for Canadian exporters in August 2012.

Cattle producers all along the supply chain now have access to a new, free market prices mobile app based on historical Canfax data. CFXPro is for those looking to have access to breakeven calculators, price projections, as well as standard market information on Canadian cattle.

“This app brings a new level to our service here for the industry,” says Brian Perillat, manager and senior analyst at Canfax. “It’s unique to the Canadian cattle industry as it’s focused on bringing a Canadian perspective to market information.”

Canfax, a division of Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, has provided analysis of markets and trends in the North American beef industry for over forty years.

Perillat said that most of the current cattle market information comes out of the United States, but they’re breaking it down and applying it to all levels of the Canadian beef supply chain such as cow calf operations.

Geared for multiple industry stakeholders, especially cow calf producers,

the app helps project, from current market conditions, what the prices of calves might look like in the fall.

“Timeliness of information delivery is so important,” Perillat says.

Included in this guide are prices of calves, a breakeven calculator, futures market information and daily updates on the new price insurance numbers so producers can check what those numbers are at any given time. Perillat is quick to remind that the app acts as a guide, based on previous Canfax numbers to estimate futures.

Perillat also notes that the app is extremely easy to use. “Operators enter basic information into the application to receive calculations that aid in the decision making process of buying and selling cattle. By entering minimal information, producers can get an idea of what kind of price to expect when they sell their animals.”

The CFXPro app launched in March for iPhones and iPads and older versions of Blackberry. It’s available through iTunes and Blackberry.

Wireless transmission of data between your management system, GreenStar™ and MyJohnDeere.com is now possible!

John Deere New Wireless Data Transfer Technology Courtesy of John Deere OLATHE, Kansas (August 21, 2013) – As more producers use new technology in precision agriculture, they will be gathering increasing amounts of machine and production data. In the past, they had to download the data on a memory card or a USB flash drive and then transfer the data to a computer in the farm office or at home.

John Deere’s Wireless Data Transfer which enables the wireless transmission of data between the GreenStar™ 3 2630 display, MyJohnDeere.com, and the producer’s farm management information system.

This efficient system eliminates the need for manual transfer of data and will be available as a subscription upgrade to JDLink™ Ultimate with Remote Display Access.

“More of our customers are collecting data from machinery operating in the field,” says Kathy Michael, product manager, John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group. “They analyze the data to improve overall operations and share the data with trusted advisors to help make better decisions. With the introduction of Wireless Data Transfer and data sharing on MyJohnDeere.com, overall data collection, transfer, and management will be much easier.”

Wireless Data Transfer allows data to flow wirelessly to the customer’s personalized portal on MyJohnDeere. com. Customers are then able to access this data from their smart phones, tablets, computers, or any Internetenabled device. They can then share

that data with trusted advisors, and easily transfer value-added information to 2630 Displays they are using in the field.

“Producers want a user-friendly system to take advantage of the new data technology,” emphasizes Michael.

“They want their data wherever they are and with more portability. Wireless Data Transfer and MyJohnDeere. com will allow them to receive and analyze data on-the-go. If data is easier to collect and manage, they will be more likely to use the information to improve overall operational efficiency, thus adding more productivity and profitability to their bottom line.”

Data management and security are also a concern of customers. With all the data that will be collected, analyzed, and managed, John Deere has published a general principles document on www.

JohnDeere.com/trust to clarify security and data management details for dealers and customers.

“John Deere has a simple position when it comes to data management,” explains Michael. “We want our new data technology to provide value to the customer, we want to be transparent with customers on data usage, and we want the customer to be in control of their data choices.”

Wireless Data Transfer is the first step to assist customers in collecting, transferring, and managing data easily and efficiently. The overall result will be to use the data to help improve overall productivity in the farm or ranch operation. Retail availability of the new technology is expected in the spring of 2014.

Growing Forward 2 Livestock The Beef Cattle Livestock Welfare Risk Assessment is now available. This allows all producers to fully complete their Growing Forward 2 (GF2) Livestock Welfare Producer Program application.

The GF2 Livestock Welfare Producer Program is offered to livestock producers for adoption of best management practices and technologies that improve livestock welfare. To be eligible for the funding program, you must complete the Beef Cattle Welfare Risk Assessment for GF2, which is based on the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Beef Cattle (2013) (http:// www.nfacc.ca/codes-of-practice/beef-

cattle).

The risk assessment provides an opportunity to evaluate your current production practices, identify gaps that may negatively affect cattle welfare and set priorities for improvement. This risk assessment is an interim tool to enable funding through the GF2 Livestock Welfare Producer Program that will be used until national on-farm animal welfare programs have been launched by your industry.

The GF2 Livestock Welfare Producer Program provides reimbursement for 50% of approved capital and noncapital costs to a maximum amount of $50,000 per applicant over the program

Campaign sends injured farmers back to work

by Allison Finnamore A new social media campaign will help raise funds to put injured farmers back work.

Back to Ag, a partnership between Farm Credit Canada, the Rick Hansen Foundation and the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association, will provide resources to farmers and agricultural workers who have experienced lifealtering injuries.

With each like or share of a campaign post on Facebook or retweet of a campaign post or use of the hashtag #BackToAg on Twitter, FCC will donate $1, up to $100,000. Funds will create a new grant program called Back to Ag where injured farmers can apply for resources to help purchase or modify adaptive technology. The campaign runs from May 29 to June 13.

“With a click of your mouse or a touch of your mobile device, you can show your support for a program that will help get Canadian farmers and agricultural workers back to work after a life-altering injury,” says Rick Hansen, whose foundation aims to improve the lives of those with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities. “It’s that easy, but it will make a big difference in someone’s life.”

Every year, Canadian farmers and

agricultural workers experience lifealtering injuries, such as paralysis or lost limbs both on and off the farm.

CASA will manage the Back to Ag program, which will allow injured farmers and agricultural workers to apply for funding for the purchase of specialized equipment or adaptation of existing equipment in order to get them back to farming.

“This kind of equipment can be very expensive or difficult to access, forcing some farmers to leave agriculture all together,” says Marcel Hacault, executive director of CASA, a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and safety of farmers, their families and workers. “Prevention is still the best way to keep farmers and farm workers safe, but the Back to Ag program will help those who have already been injured.”

Greg Stewart, FCC’s president and CEO says the campaign contributes to a strong and prosperous industry.

“We care about our customers and we want to help those who have been injured, as well as raise awareness that returning to work post-injury is definitely possible,” Stewart says.

The Back to Ag program will be open for applications in October of this year. Visit www.casa-acsa.ca for more information.

On the open road

Quebec: Riding like a local CONTINUED FROM MAY23 ISSUE It felt strange. Waking up and realizing my motorcycle was not outside of my motel room.

I could hear the rushing of the Chute des Pere, so I made myself a coffee and went out for a walk to see the falls up close.

It was an overcast morning, kind of like my mood, I was worried about my bike and the bill that was going to be attached to getting it out of the shop.

I wandered up to the restaurant and had myself a really great breakfast.

The service was really good and the waitress did not let my coffee cup become empty. I think she could sense I needed an intravenous of coffee!

Rejean’s wife had collected the parts that Carl Tremblay had ordered and Rejean had already been to the shop and dropped the parts off. At 9 am he came to collect me and ride me over to see how the repairs were going.

Rejean is a good rider, and riding on the back with him was no hardship. It gave me the chance to rubberneck and really see the area.

I can’t thank these wonderful people enough. Rejean wouldn’t take a penny for all of his and his wife’s efforts on my behalf and Carl kept the bill down and even gave me a bit of a break. Denis – AKA Sweet Pie – thank you for bringing us to this great motorcycle repair shop and for helping pack my gear to the motel!

Here I was handed off to members of the Alma Motorcycle Association (AMLE), Robin & Pierre.

Pretty soon we were back on the road, the first order of business was to go back to the motel and load my bike up. It was wonderful having the bike running the way it’s supposed to!

From the Motel Chute des Pere, we headed of to the Peres Trappistes Monastery to meet with Father Clement Charbonneau (No relation to my husband).

Here we got to tour the Chocolate Factory. The Benedictine Monks who live here have made their living selling chocolates for a long time. Their company is called La Chocolaterie des Pères Trappistes and as we got to find out, their chocolates are magnificent.

There are now only 10 monks living at the monastery and we were allowed to take

a

tour through a good portion of it.

They have a business manager who takes care of their rented out farmland and the factory.

In the monastery, they rent rooms, much like a bed and breakfast for those who are looking for a bit of a sabbatical from life or want to come and study. They have a wellequipped breakfast room and the rooms for rent are spacious.

Much like the Benedictine nuns I met in Ireland, hospitality is a huge part of their culture.

After our tour of the chocolate factory and the monastery, we headed off for the Parc Nationale de la Pointe-Taillon.

Our guide for the day, Jean, met as in the visitor information centre where we had our lunch. After a satisfying sandwich and bowl of soup, we were trundled off in a mini van to go explore the park.

Lac Saint Jean is a warm lake and people who love the water, love coming here.

It’s peaceful, there are no vehicles allowed except park vehicles. The sandy beaches here are odd, they are blacking reddish brown with gold shot through them.

I asked about the bizarre coloration and Pierre explained that the sand was filled with magnetite. The park is immaculate and offers canoe, kayaks and bike rentals along with cabin and Huttopia tent rentals.

People from all over come to the Pointe – Taillon to commune with nature and the re-

serve is filled with beaver, moose and deer.

We were taken to visit the amazing camping that is offered here. These tents are far from roughing it! Called Huttopia tents, they have 2 rooms divided by a canvas wall, a kitchen area, and seating for 8!

We were driven to another area to see the cabins and their amazing views.

The park is an absolute jewel and so was our host.

The guys rode with me to the L’Eternel Spa in St-David-de-Falardeau.

Before we got to the spa, the guys ensured that I knew how to get to my room for the evening, as they would have to hit the road before I was done at the

spa to make it home before dark.

The spa is in a gorgeous forested valley with a beautiful river and so that means game and lots of it apparently.

The road in is still gravel, but the development that the spa is in, is slated to be finished in 2015. The road in will be paved during that time. All I can say is I was sure glad it hadn’t rained or I might have missed out on what turned out to be an amazing experience.

When we entered the spa a smiling young lady who gave us keys and towels and pointed us in the direction of the lockers downstairs.

Our stuff put in the lockers, we met back up in the main lounge for some appetizers and a glass of whatever beverage we wanted. There are times when the word magnificent is the only word that can accurately describe something; this is one of those times.

As we looked out over the spa from the lounge, I thought how perfect this place is.

It’s warm and intimate and yet there is friendliness about it and it draws that out of the customers.

We were chatting with people from

P A R T

3

around the region and as far away as Germany!

After our appetizers, we were taken for a tour of the spa and shown the massage and treatment rooms, the meeting rooms and then we were taken outside. I was in awe as to how well this spa uses Mother Nature to its advantage.

After the tour, the guys headed off. I was sad to see them go, but I was looking forward to some time in the Norwegian spa.

I went and change and showered and hit the steam room first, then I went to the cold pool.

My word that was a shock to the system!

After that I went and spent some time in one of the hot tubs, one with jets!

I took a stroll down to the waterfall and if I thought the cold pool was cold, but strangely, it felt good.

Then I took in the sauna and another cold pool and followed that up with a nice long relax in one of the relaxing tents.

I felt positively wonderful as I headed to the locker room to shower and change.

By the time I was done it was well and truly dark. I had about 20 KM’s to ride to get to my Auberge for the evening.

The guys had been kind enough to call ahead and let them know I would be late for dinner, so I was able to doddle along and take my time to get there….

Next week, I’ll share with you the adventures of my time at the Auberge Caracajou and Whale watching in Tadoussac!

In the mean time I want to once again thank my newfound friends for all their help and assistance during my time in the Saguenay-Lac Saint Jean region. The brother and sisterhood of motorcycling is very much alive and well in Quebec!

A huge thank you to Dr. Mackey, Pharmacist Lori, ER Staff, IPU Staff, Community Nurses, FSJ Medical Clinic and all the other healthcare staff that made his passing smooth! It was amazing to see such great teamwork through all the different fields of healthcare.

A huge thank you to all the Taylor Community members for their help and contributions at his celebration of life!

Harvey was always proud to call Taylor home! Thank you to the Taylor ladies for the wonderful tea, the District of Taylor for the use of the Community Hall, the set-up crew, the many friends and family that attended or sent their warm condolences!

Hitting the road with Rover in tow means additional challenges when it comes to both treats and helping your dog navigate certain situations successfully. Since it’s difficult to pack an entire canine grocery store, having a few snack tricks up your sleeve will help.

Timing: Morning meals provided by hotels can come in handy when traveling with your pet. I’m particularly fond of the breakfast bars, since they have a number of grab-and-go items I use to supplement treat needs while on the road with our Labrador. When she needs distracting, a napkinwrapped bagel half or English muffin tucked into my purse can last for some time if I feed it to her in pieces.

Condiments: The most flexible pet item on the hotel breakfast bar by far is the stash of peanut butter tubs. I recently ran out of the peanut butter we brought with us on a road trip, and needed something to fill her Kong toy with so she’d settle down while we finished up with some online projects. With the nearest grocery store an inconvenient distance away, I snagged a couple of the nut butter servings when I went down for coffee.

These tubs can also come in handy if you need to make canine meds more appealing. Some dogs only need medication for their nerves on the road, and aren’t used to swallowing pills on a regular basis. If that’s the case, anything that makes the pills taste better can speed up the process dramatically.

Shape: If you don’t want to constantly be digging for hand sanitizer in between treat sessions, choosing rod or stick-shaped treats can be a huge help. You can hold one end while your pooch grabs the other, reducing exposure to mouth fluids. My dog is partial to the Fritos spiral-shaped corn chips, but other snacks are equally effective.

Windows: Take-out windows, chain drive-through menus and even food trucks often offer the simplest solution to dining with your pet on the road. There’s no need to hunt down a place with something stronger than a bistro table if you have access to a concession truck and a park bench. As a bonus, you can share your fries with Rover and have an instant place to romp afterwards when “business” needs to get done. Similarly, when you are grabbing coffee and a breakfast sandwich from the car, Fido will feel included if a doughnut hole treat happens to make its way into his mouth.

The Northern Horizon, June 6, 2014

Canadian governments have invested $1 million from the Growing Forward 2 - Growing Assurance program. The Farmland Beaver Damage Control Program is intended to connect farmers and landowners with resources to help them reduce flooding and other damage to agricultural lands caused by beavers -- as well as educate them about humane removal methods.

Highlights of the program include: workshops on humane trapping techniques and non-lethal removal methods a fact sheet detailing additional tools to manage beaver populations and their effect on the landscape

47

assistance for non-lethal management techniques, including devices known as beaver deceivers or pond levelers, as well as a beaver removal incentive.

The Manitoba government is finalizing the details of the program and expect to make them available by early summer.

“It’s encouraging to see information and assistance will be available now on beaver control,” says Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers.

(MCT) SACRAMENTO, Calif. _ Most of the year, Drew Bohan can pick fresh fruit from his Carmichael, Calif., backyard.

In his quarter-acre garden, he has more selection than any supermarket: More than 70 varieties _ and growing.

"I had more than 120 varieties in my little east Sacramento yard," he noted.

"When we moved, I tried to bring my favorite trees, but I couldn't move everything. But that's OK." It's an opportunity to try new combinations: Six peach varieties on one tree or eight different apples growing together off the same trunk. Or how about an all-in-one peach-plum-nectarine tree?

That's the magic of grafting; multiple varieties can grow in the same space.

Scions (pronounced SIGH-ons) are branches that can be attached or grafted to rootstock or existing tree trunks. That budwood will grow true to its variety regardless of what fruit the roots or trunks originally bore. Grafting can turn a peach tree into a nectarine or an apple

This espaliered apple tree pictured April 5, 2004, at Klein home in El Dorado Hills, Calif., contains six varieties of apples thanks to grafting. ( Owen Brewer/ Sacramento Bee/MCT)

ow a rainbow of fruit into a quince. It also can add multiple varieties to one tree.

The popularity of growing food in suburban gardens has extended into fruits and nuts, noted Bohan, the chapter's president. But lack of space limits what many gardeners can produce.

Through grafting, that limit can be stretched _ a lot.

"Take peaches," he said. "Most people have a peach tree and the whole harvest comes in two weeks. It's boom, then bust the rest of the year. I grafted several varieties of peaches onto the same tree. My harvest starts in early June and I'm still picking peaches in November. That's five solid months of peaches off one tree, not just two weeks."

More than 200 gardeners showed up at last year's exchange, he added. "More and more people are interested in this. Anybody can do grafting. I'm completely uncoordinated with my hands, but this is very very easy and it's fun. The biggest Continued on 50

benefit is you can get all these varieties with flavor."

For example, Bohan had a Golden Delicious apple tree _ nice, but kind of boring.

"Golden Delicious is the sweetest-tasting apple," he noted. "I thought it would

be fun to graft on a Granny Smith, one of the tartest apples. Then, I added a couple more apple varieties and a quince. It became a really neat conversation starter; all these different fruit growing together on the same tree. I called it my cocktail party tree."

At a recent scion exchange in Sacra-

Online and on-the-go www.pipelinenewsnorth.ca

mento, Calif., gardeners had their choice of more than 100 varieties of fruit. The scions were free.

"All these people milling about; it's a madhouse," Bohan said with a chuckle.

"We have many conventional varieties but also some rarities. What people want is all over the board."

Some gravitated to the peaches. (July Elberta is Bohan's favorite.) Others clustered at the cherries. (Rainier is consistently good.)

"Cherries are another crop that can be extended through grafting," Bohan noted.

"You can have months of cherries on one tree."

For beginners, Bohan recommends apple, peach, nectarine and cherry varieties. They're easy to work with and grafts grow onto the host tree or rootstock with little effort.

"You can do those with one eye closed,"

he said. "Some can be difficult. I've had lousy luck with pomegranates; the bark is too thin and it can be hard to (take hold).

Plums can be difficult, too. But the others can be grafted in under 90 seconds."

In addition to getting scions and rootstock, gardeners will also find plenty of fruit-growing advice from these experts.

Living up to their society's name, California Rare Fruit Growers cultivate just about everything from avocados and citron to jujubes and walnuts.

"My goal is to get more people interested in growing fruit," said Bohan, the father of two small children. "My kids are fascinated by it. They're ages 6 and 4.

They've already learned how to check to see if it's ripe instead of just pulling it off.

They love fruit."

And they know where to find it _ right outside their back door.
