NATURAL GAS NATION

THE ALASKA HIGHWAY NEWS TRACED A PIECE OF LAND FROM PURCHASE TO PRODUCTION. THIS IS PART III: WHAT'S LEFT AFTER THE GAS FLOWS? WILLIAM STODALKA STAFF WRITER AHN

In 2008, the man in the white pickup truck first approached Roy Verdzak asking if he wanted to open his land for hydraulic fracturing.

By October 2012, the first of the seven wells that includes Wellpad 12-10-7917W6 had finished their drilling. And two years later, that well is still producing natural gas.

And while the gas it produced may be natural, the effects on the water – and to

a certain extent, the people – are not.

According to the data presented by the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission (OGC), testing showed that since December 2012, the well has produced at least 66 million cubic metres of natural gas.

This can be hard to put into perspective for some, but according to Natural Resources Canada, an average singlefloor detached home in Canada requires about 2,700 cubic meters of gas for a whole year’s heat.

Based on 2013’s population levels, the production from one of Verdzak’s wells could heat all the homes in Dawson Creek for two years.

It also means a nice sum. Based on American prices for 2013, over $6 million worth of natural gas came out of Verdzak’s well for that year alone.

But this gas did not come free. It required that some water be polluted, which the industry calls "produced water." At least two Olympic-size swimming pools of water had to be polluted to get that energy from one of Verdzak’s seven wells.

In other words, based on the gas-towater ratio the well has shown so far, it

would require polluting 210 litres of water to heat that “average” home – slightly more than enough to fill an oil drum.

And this well has more life left to go.

Graham Currie, executive director of corporate affairs for the OGC, said that wells have produced up to 594 million cubic metres worth of gas.

But this has some caveats. Currie also said that usually between 10 and 19 per cent of the gas produced in a typical well can’t be sold, depending on how pure the gas is or how good the pipes are.

Not surprisingly, a well will also produce much less gas as time goes on. Currie said that a typical well’s production will decline by about 70 per cent in the year after the initial drilling and testing period.

That’s been the case with Verdzak’s well. In April 2013, it was practically gushing, producing nearly 5 million cubic metres of natural gas that month. By June 2014, it was only producing about 3.2 million cubic metres.

The water that is polluted during the test period goes down, too.

Family farm offers a variety of goods and services for visitors MICHELE TAYLOR STAFF WRITER AHN

Star Bright Farm in Bay Tree, just over the Alberta border, definitely offers more than meets the eye when you pull into the driveway.

With their menagerie of animals, Heather Porrill, her husband Dan and five

children run the farm year-round.

About 30 llamas dot the landscape, and there are horses, mini-horses, sheep, goats, donkeys and a big sow in a number of pens on the property. A closer look into some of the smaller sheds surprises visitors who find cats, Guinea

pigs, rabbits and chickens. The family has lived on the property for about 15 years.

Porrill said the farm would soon be selling llama meat at the Dawson Creek Farmers’ Market. On the same day, she organized a trail ride along the Rim Rocks from the farm; she made

Close to 30 llamas can be found on the Star Bright Farm property; the farm is now offering llama meat products at the Dawson Creek Farmers’ Market.

Building Soil - Creating Land

INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED GROUNDCOVER & SOILS ECOLOGIST

Jones works with landowners to implement regenerative land management practises that enhance biodiversity, maximize photosynthesis, increase soil biological activity, sequester carbon, activate soil nutrient cycles, improve water holding capacity and infiltration, increase productivity and create new topsoil.

“Organic carbon is the basic building block for all life on and in the earth. We cannot live without it. Neither can our soils.

Rebuilding carbon-rich agricultural soils is the only real productive permanent solution to taking excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.”

Porrill said there are farm tours available for the public and school groups where visitors can feed the animals.

“The kids absolutely love it,” she said. “It’s a

big hit with grandmas and grandpas that want to take grandchildren to do something that they relate to from their own childhood.”

a point to inform those coming along that llama stew was on the menu for that night’s campfire dinner.

“It’s not strange tasting, it’s very lean,” she said.

Star Bright will be offering llama pepperoni, stew meat and ground meat at the Farmers’ Market.

“Here at the farm, where I have everything processed in Alberta, we have jerky, ground llama meat and wieners,” Porrill said. “They’ve gone over very well.”

Porrill said there isn’t a lot of meat to a llama.

Butchering only happens once the last of the previous meat is gone.

She also explained that not all the llamas on the farm go to the block – usually it’s the problem animals she takes in from other farmers or pet owners that are culled.

Breakfast Brief LNG foots bill for massive REGIONAL transmission system VISCOSITY Taxpayers won’t be left holding the bag if the oil and gas industry does not end up using power from a new transmission system rising west of Dawson Creek, a BC Hydro representative told a gathering of business owners

B.C. Hydro's Dawson Creek/Chetwynd Transmission project is being built to service oil and gas projects in the Groundbirch area. Jonny Wakefield Photo JONNY WAKEFIELD STAFF WRITER AHN - OCT 15

Hydro is developing two major upgrades to its transmission system in the South Peace to supply power to oil and gas customers. Work started last fall on the Dawson Creek/Chetwynd Area Transmission Project (DCAT), a network of high voltage power lines from the W.A.C. Bennett Dam's GM Shrum generating station to industrial customers in the Groundbirch Area.

Crews are currently installing transmission towers along Highway 97.

The second piece, the Peace River Electricity Supply project (PRES), will replace existing lines from the generating station to DCAT with a higher capacity system. "[Growth in demand] is far greater here than anywhere else in the province," said Lesley Wood, a public relations advisor with BC Hydro, at a Dawson Creek Chamber of Commerce event. "We haven't seen anything like this for decades."

"This area is experiencing some of the most dramatic single industry regional load growth we've seen in the last 50 years," Wood wrote in a followup email. "Over the next 10 years, the annual rate of load growth in the South Peace is forecasted to be 10 times greater than for BC Hydro's system as a whole.

"What we're looking at is growth that's driven by the gas industry.”

That had some local business owners worried about who would foot the bill if the Northeast's promised liquified natural gas boom goes belly-up.

They had reason to be pessimistic. Gas company Petronas said last week that it would pull the plug on its projects in B.C. if the provincial government does not

lower proposed taxes on LNG exports.

Petronas became the front-runner in B.C.'s race to export LNG to Asia after Apache pulled out of its Kitimat LNG partnership with Chevron last summer.

A new sitting of the Legislative Assembly kicked off Oct. 6, and the government's main, repeatedly stated objective is to pass a tax on LNG extraction and new emissions standards for the industry. (Petronas executives have said the proposed 7 per cent tax on LNG exporters is too high.)

While neither of those companies have projects that would be serviced by Hydro's new transmission projects, Wood said the company has already collected securities from gas companies looking to buy more power. That ensures taxpayers are not stuck with the bill, she said.

"Some money has to be put down before we do anything," she said.

She added that BC Hydro is obligated to expand their network when customers ask for more power.

"As they buy the power, their power bills then take into account that they already put the security down. So basically you've got the industry primarily paying for this," she said.

To lay the transmission lines for DCAT, the utility negotiated land usage rights with around 90 landowners. In three cases, BC Hydro took the relatively unprecedented step of expropriating landowners who refused to budge.

However, in no case was anyone removed from their property against their will, Wood said.

The DCAT system will be finished in 2015, she said, while the PRES project is still undergoing design and consultation work. Its scheduled completion date is between 2021 and 2023.

Wheat markets were up about four percent in the post-Canadian Thanksgiving rally as the grain markets all headed higher on quality and harvest progress concerns. That in mind, because of the delayed U.S. harvest, there could still be a lot of grain that doesn’t have a home on the farm and so will be sold off the combines into the cash market. What’s certain is that the crop will eventually get taken off, something that South American producers are a few months away from as they’re just starting to plant their fields with corn and soybeans. For the latter crop, many Brazilian producers could be operating in the red as input expenses have increased dramatically relative to the sale price, costing about $8.55 per bushel to produce a soybean field in Mato Grosso versus the March futures contract of $9.75. Keep in mind that this doesn’t include freight costs to the port, which are usually another $2-$3 per bushel. How does this affect canola market? If another big soybean crop comes off in South America, it would add downside pressure. However, the pesticide ban in Europe is already showing significant negative effects on the winter rapeseed crop planted there. Thus, because of severity of insects doing damage, Europe is most likely the only catalyst to bring canola prices back above $500 per metric tonne in the next 6-9 months!

Heading into Eastern Europe, Russia’s Economic Development Ministry, Russia’s grain exports this marketing year could reach a record high of 32 million tonnes! The Ministry forecasts that production from their comrades could grow to as high as 108 million tonnes with average exports running 31-33 million tonnes a year, well above the previous record set in 2011/12 of 27 million tonnes. With production topping 100 milion tonnes this year, there’s clearly ample supply coming out of the Black Sea but with current western economic sanctions in mind, Russia may be more inclined to keep more of their output for themselves.

That being said, turmoil in Eastern Europe and devaluation of not only the Russian rouble, but also the Ukrainian hrvynia is making things financially difficult for both individual and corporate farms.

One positive thing potentially farmers everywhere is that oil prices are at four-year lows as production has remained relatively high despite demand softening.

With the U.S. producing as much oil as it did 30 years ago (remember 1986 when oil prices dropped 70 per cent?), OPEC may be more interested in letting the price to continue to fall in order to get more Asian business. That being said, a few major banks see oil prices holding the $80/barrel level (I think it could run to $75) after they’ve dropped 15 per cent in the past month. Therefore, the question ultimately becomes after this significant downside pressure recently, which countries will have to cut back on production since it is no longer profitable? Canada could be considered in this mix – just recall 2008 when prices dropped significantly (Fort McMurray was at a standstill!).

Obviously this will affect the Canadian Loonie, which itself has dropped three per cent in the past month to the 88¢ level (most calls are for the Loonie bottoming around 85¢). Ultimately, a lower Loonie correlates with lower oil prices, and with Canadian grain being cheaper in relative terms, there is potentially more demand coming to the Great White North.

Morning Rush: Breakfast Meal Trends AGRI-NEWS OCT. 7 2014 - OTTAWA ON

An Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) specialist says the last four to five years have seen some interesting developments in breakfast trends in Canada.

“Market research shows that while skipping breakfast has declined in Canada, consumers are heading out of their homes in search of breakfast more often than previously,” says Jeewani Fernando, provincial consumer market analyst, ARD, Edmonton.

“Cafes and fast-food restaurants are top of mind for away-from-home breakfast options. That said, many consumers source their breakfast at home more often than any other meal.

Food trucks and ethnic flavours are making their mark on breakfast meals, too. These trends are creating many opportunities for food processors and restaurants owners alike.”

In-Home or Carried-from Home Breakfast Meal Trends Canadians are spending less time preparing breakfast compared to other meal occasions. According to The NPD Group (https://www.npd. com) 80 per cent all breakfast meals are made in five minutes or less.

Ready to eat cereal remains the top food eaten at breakfast, followed by

toast, fruit and hot cereal.

Toast continues its long-term decline while fruits and yogurts eaten as base dishes continue to grow.

The growth of fruit, hot cereal, and yogurt show the importance of healthy eating and grab-’n’-go breakfast options.

Fruit juice, breakfast’s second most commonly consumed beverage after coffee, has been in decline since 2006. However, fruit consumption at breakfast is growing.

“Overall, in-home or carriedfrom-home breakfast trends imply time pressured consumers with a motivation towards eating healthy,” says Fernando.

Food Services Breakfast Meal Trends Innovation in the limited service segment (LSR) has grown overall traffic for the breakfast meal occasion.

However, breakfast full-service restaurant traffic has declined.

Traditional menu options such as eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and toasts are in decline.

Menu options such as breakfast sandwiches and bagels are growing in LSR. Egg and cheese sandwiches are the most popular sandwich category in LSR Coffee is the dominant item ordered

at foodservice, followed by breakfast sandwiches “Foodservice breakfast meal trends also indicate consumers are constrained by time,” says Fernando.

“These trends also suggest that while consumers are demanding convenient food, they also want to ensure this food is healthy and high quality.”

When it comes to food truck sales, Fernando says millennials (those born in the early 1980s to the early 2000s) are the driving force. “This in part explains the tendency of food trucks to locate near where millennials congregate, such as universities

Breakfast accounted for nearly 60 per cent of restaurant industry traffic growth over the past five years. “Tim Hortons is facing stiff competition from rivals who are aggressively contending for a slice of the profitable breakfast market,” says Fernando.

“Interestingly, more than one-quarter of McDonald’s revenue comes from breakfast.”

Weed Control Time is Now: Crop Specialist RICHARD KAMCHEN OCT. 7 2014 - OTTAWA ON

Conditions this fall are ideal for farmers in Alberta to spray for pesky perennial weeds and winter annuals.

Neil Whatley, a crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture, says farmers should be doing weed control measures now rather than waiting until spring.

“There’s been no serious killing frost in most areas, and there’s been a few rain showers, which makes for ideal growing conditions,” he says, adding winter annuals are also germinating due to the rainfall.

It’s best to eliminate winter annuals now, he says, given they deplete soil moisture and nutrients ahead of spring seeding.

Weeds are also smaller now, allowing farmers to use less herbicide. By spring, annuals start growing early and if fields are wet, they can shoot up and flower before farmers have a chance to control

them.

Another reason for dealing with weeds now is that right now, they are pushing food down to their roots to overwinter.

“You get a better kill,” Whatley says.

“Any other time of the year, you just get top growth -- you don’t get those extensive root systems.”

Whatley says some farmers have started weed control already, and there are advantages to finishing before harvest, as excess crop residue can interfere with the chemicals reaching the weeds.

Glyphosate is effective on perennial weeds, he says. For winter annuals, it’s good to mix glyphosate with lower rates of phenoxy herbicides like 2,4-D or MCPA and dicamba, Whatley says.

“But [farmers] have to be careful because there may still be too much residual from these phenoxy herbicides for canola or flax next spring,” says Whatley, recommending farmers conduct a bioassay in the spring.

The projects from Karl Mattson's studio that sit on the family property are in various stages of progress. He might say the same of himself.

That’s what “Lost,” his most recent collection of work, is in part about.

He points out one of his latest pieces, the Life Pod – a casket sculpture Karl created last year. He looks a little misplaced, like his art, as he tells the story of how “Lost” came to existence.

“It's kind of searching for something personal,” Karl says. “Trying ... to figure out thoughts about the future and the present.”

Certainly, his past has become a big part of his present. Karl says even as a young boy, he would bring home cow bones he found around the family property. He laughs about being in trouble for bringing strange things home.

“I've always been a scavenger,” he says.

The Peace Region will be able to see some of Karl’s enormous creations in person at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery starting next week, as “Lost” opens for a three-week run.

One can sense Karl’s enjoyment in working with the metal he's scavenged and creating something that speaks of his environmental activism and his concerns for his home. Karl says his current feeling of being “lost” is, “more about humanity, what we’re doing today to our planet, the arrogance and entitlement that I fear jeopardizes our existence in general.”

That’s where the art stems from: how much he loves the Peace Region, and his feelings about doing his part in his community to take care of the environment.

“It's a way I can save my Peace,” Karl says.

“Lost,” a towering female structure made from scavenged metal, mesh and leather, looks like a mixture of outer space and props from “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” Continued on Page 21

Federal approval contains 80 legally binding conditions for the 1,100-megawatt dam, whereas provincial approval contains 77 conditions Matt Lamers Photo William Stodalka

Staff Writer

Ministries of Environment for both B.C. and the Federal government have approved environmental assessment certificates for the Site C project. “(Environment Minister Mary Polak and Forests Minister Steve Thomson) decided that Site C is in the public interest and that the benefits provided by the project outweigh the risks of significant adverse environmental, social and heritage effects,” the B.C. ministry wrote in a release.

Although the environmental certificates issued today are a major step forward for Site C, the provin-

SITE C $7.9 billion dam handed EA certificate

cial government is not required to build it, and it may take some time to know the final decision on the $7.9 billion project.

The concurrent Federal approval decision, by Minister of Environment Leona Aglukkaq, contains 80 legally binding conditions on BC Hydro if the province and utility decide to go forward with building the 1,100-megawatt hydroelectric dam just down the Peace from Fort St. John; Polak and Thomson’s provincial approval contains 77 conditions.

These conditions include “onsite health care with physician and nursing services to manage non-urgent issues for the workforce residing in camps.”

Hydro must also commit to building 50 rental units in Fort St. John, with 40 of them used for BC Hydro housing and 10 made available for lowto-modest-income households.

There will also be “a Cultural and Heritage Resources Committee that includes Aboriginal groups (to) develop and implement mitigation measures to manage effects on cultural resources.”

Also, $200,000 will be put aside for a community recreation site fund, as well as $20 million for a fund to compensate for lost agricultural lands and activities. The latter fund will be used to

support “enhancement projects that improve agricultural land, productivity or systems,” the release states.

“We are pleased that after a rigorous environmental assessment process, Site C has received Federal and provincial environmental approvals,” said BC Hydro’s Site C spokesperson, David Conway, who said that if the final go-ahead from the province comes soon, initial construction activities could take place as early as January 2015. “The conclusion of the three-year environmental review is that the effects of the Site C project are justified by the long-term benefits it would provide.”

Polak said Tuesday that she did not have an estimate as to how much all of the other provincial conditions would cost. Questions to the ministries asking for more details about these conditions – such as who would be eligible for agricultural and community funding – were not returned as of press time.

The ministries’ decisions will likely cause problems with many environmental and First Nations groups. At least one Northeast B.C. First Nation – West Moberly – has said that if the dam project is approved, they plan to fight it in court.

After the decision was announced, Willson said that he was “not surprised.” He again vowed to fight Site C in the courts if the government were to approve it.

During a media call, Polak said the ministry was in negotiation with certain Treaty 8 First Nations about the dam. However, Willson disputed this.

“I don’t know who they’re ne-

gotiating with – they’re definitely not negotiating with us,” Willson told the Alaska Highway News on Tuesday. “I’ve been talking with all the First Nations that are impacted, and nobody from what they’re telling me is negotiating with them.”

A Federal-provincial Joint Review Panel that evaluated Site C earlier this year chose not to step in the way of the project, paving the way for today’s environmental approval.

However, the panel’s report said the dam “would likely cause a significant adverse effect on fishing opportunities and practices for the First Nations represented by the Treaty 8 Tribal Association, Saulteau First Nations and Blueberry River First Nations, and these effects cannot be mitigated.”

The panel’s report made about 50 recommendations to BC Hydro for further mitigation and consultation should the province go through with Site C. Among them were having the project referred to the B.C. Utilities Commission for review.

Local farmers Ken and Arlene Boon, whose fields would be partially flooded if Site C were to be built, have also been vocal opponents of the project.

“Nobody should be flooding lands in valley bottoms any more, because there are other ways of generating electricity and conserving it,” Arlene Boon was quoted as saying. “But there’s only one way of growing food, and that’s in the soil that’s capable of doing it.”

The Peace Valley Environment Association has also come out against the project.

The Northern Horizon, October 24, 2014

Equine Internal Parasites There are many different types of internal parasites and they can cause different problems in your horse, some of which are very obvious and others you may not even realize are happening. Some of the common problems that internal parasites can cause are general un-thriftiness, poor hair coat, a pot belly, colic and in severe cases death.

Overall parasites can cause a horse to be more susceptible to infections, can rob a horse of important nutrients and can damage internal organs by migrating through these organs.

There are many different types of internal parasites that can affect horses and I am going to focus on the most common ones in this area and those that cause the most significant problems.

Large Strongyles: (also known as bloodworms or redworms) live in the large intestine, and cecum in your horse. The adult worms lay eggs which are passed in the manure. These eggs hatch in the manure and the larvae climb up the grass where your horse eats them.

The larvae can migrate through the large blood vessels that supply blood to the intestines, causing damage to these vessels. In very severe cases, the damage can result in the blood vessel rupturing and the horse bleeding to death. In other cases, the blood vessels can be damaged enough that the blood supply to the large intestine, small intestine, or cecum is affected leading to damage of the large intestine.

This can result in signs of colic (or a belly ache) in your horse. The eggs can survive in horse manure for years, even over the winter. When the weather warms up they hatch as larvae, and become infective. They can be treated with ivermectin, moxidectin, fenbendazole.

Small Strongyles: have a similar life cycle to large strongyles but they don’t migrate through the blood vessels. Instead the larvae move through the walls of the intestines causing irritation to the intestines. They also have the capacity to encyst (become dormant and live in walled off cysts of scar tissue) for several months which can make them more difficult to kill. These parasites can cause colic, diarrhea, decreased appetite and weight loss from the irritation they cause to the walls of the intestines.

The adult worms are susceptible to benzimidazoles, pyrantels, ivermectin, but the encysted larvae are only suseptable to moxidectin, and high dose fenbendazole.

Ascarids: (also known as roundworms) these are the long white worms that you might occasionally see in your horse’s manure. The eggs that pass in the manure can live for years in the environment. The horse actually eats the eggs which then hatch into larvae in the horse’s intestine.

These larvae then take a potentially damaging journey through your horse, particularly the liver and the lungs.

This migration can cause problems in the lungs making the horse more susceptible to pneumonia and bleeding when they are heavily exercised. The horse will cough the larvae up and then re-swallow them where they will hatch into adult egg laying machines. In severe cases, there will be enough of these adults present in the intestines that they can cause a physical blockage. These generally affect young horses the most severely and cause them to be pot bellied and unthrifty by robbing them of nutrients. Horses age two years and older are generally immune to this parasite. Foals become infected from their mother and environment shortly after birth, result-

ing in the need to start there anti-parasitic treatments at two months of age. Once the worm is in the intestine it is susceptible to piperazine, benzimidazoles, pyrantel, ivermectin, and moxidectin. The migrating larval causing the verminous pneumonia should be treated with ivermectin, or high dose fenbendazole. Treating foals for the first time should be done with care. If they have a high worm burden killing them all at once can cause life threatening intestinal blockage.

Bots: (stomach worms) are well known to the horse world for their yellow eggs which stick to the hair of horses. They are commonly seen on the front legs, chest, neck, and muzzle. Bot eggs are laid by brown flies which are bee like in appearance; the fly’s themselves never bite the horse. Interestingly, they don’t have mouth pieces; their sole purpose is to lay eggs. One adult fly can lay up to 200 eggs. When the horse licks at these eggs, they can get them in their mouth. The eggs hatch into larvae which can occasionally cause sores in your horse’s mouth. The larvae migrate to then attach to the lining of your horse’s stomach where they have a warm home and lots of food.

If the infestation is bad enough the bot larvae could cause stomach perforation, but generally no clinical signs are observed. When spring comes they are passed in the manure where they hatch into flies. Your horse should be dewormed with a dewormer that works on bots every fall, once the flies have died. Dewormers that contain moxidectin and ivermectin are effective.

Pinworms: are probably the least harmful of all but are the ones we can often blame when your horse starts rubbing his tail on the fence. These little worms live inside your horse’s anus and then pop out and lay eggs. This irritation is what makes your horse itch so much. They are susceptible to Ivermectin, and moxidectin.

Tapeworms: have historically been considered to be fairly uncommon and non problematic in horses. Part of this is due to the fact that the normal fecal evaluations we do to determine if your horse has parasites, is not very good at detecting tapeworms. In recent years a better test has been developed for tapeworms and more research has been done to show that these may be more of a problem than we expected. Tapeworm eggs live in mites that live in soil and on your horse’s feed. Then the mite with the tapeworm egg or larvae is eaten by the horse. Adult tapeworms live in the opening of the large intestine where they irritate the intestine. Tapeworms have been found to cause colic, diarrhea, ileal impactions, intussusception, as well. Tapeworms are not susceptible to our common dewormer such as ivermectin. They need to be treated using praziquantel or a high dose pyrantel.

Now you know about some of the little parasites than can be living in your horse’s body and causing damage.

What can you do about it? Pasture management, good nutrition and a regular deworming program can protect your horse. Because so many of these parasites live as eggs or larvae in the soil and on the grass, overgrazing and overstocking of pastures can result in your horse having very high parasite loads. Rotating pastures and minimizing overgrazing and overstocking can help with this. Harrowing pastures can also help by exposing the larvae to sunlight and dry air – they can be pretty resistant to cold but they don’t like getting dried out.

by Dr. Emily Wilson

In recent years, parasites have become resistant to certain treatments. This has been linked to the over use of dewormers. Veterinarians can do a fecal floatation test on your horse’s manure to determine what kinds of parasite, and how heavy of a burden your horse is experiencing.

Not all horses carry the same burden, even if they live in the same pasture. 20% of horses carry 80% of the parasites. Younger horses and horses with systemic conditions are at an increased risk. This simple fecal test tells us if the horse is in need of deworming, as well as, if our treatment was effective. When bringing in a fresh sample, keep it in an air tight container/bag, keep it refrigerated.

Samples should be no older than 12 hours when collected from the ground; one fecal ball is plenty.

Horses usually need to be dewormed 2 or 3 times a year, our cold winters decrease the frequency needed.

One of these treatments should be in the fall to target bot larva, and one should contain pyraziquantel to target tape worms. They may need a treatment every 6-8 weeks in the warmer months if, they are kept in smaller paddocks or with lots of other horses. There are too many brand names of dewormers available to discuss in this article but there are relatively few active ingredients so I will try to discuss the important differences between these. Packages and inserts for specific dewormers will give you more detailed information.

1) Pyrantel (example: Strongid T) is an older dewormer that gets most of the common internal parasites I have discussed except bots and the larvae of small stronglyes when they are in their dormant stage. It works on tapeworms when given at a higher dose.

Can You See The Trees In The Forest Can you see the trees in the forest or just the forest? Lately it seems more than usual I have been on a mission to try and have riders, horse owners, and anyone else I can find to look a lot deeper into what is going on with their horse.

Anytime there is a horse around, especially one being handled by a human, there is a great opportunity for us to try and look beyond the smoke and mirrors and see what the horse thinks of what is going on.

Admittedly, it is much easier and requires much less skill to not care, ignore or be oblivious to where the horse is at mentally. It requires a greater level of awareness, skills, knowledge, feel and timing to keep a horse in a good place mentally and still get something done. This begs the question, what does “getting something done with our horses” mean?

Let me ask some questions. Are two different horses that are both being ridden, the same as far as what each horse knows or has been taught? What if it was a colt start and both horses were being ridden in the first session by two equally skilled trainers, do the two horses know, and demonstrate, the same amount of ability? Did the trainers achieve the same amount of skill with their horses in the equal time they were given? Did the two horses both enjoy what they learned, or how it was presented, and did it make sense to the horse? If both horses can canter right and left are the horses in the same place in their development? I could ask as many questions as I could think of and the answer would be the same.

The answer is “possibly” the horses “could” be in the same place developmentally wise, but I have never seen it.

To add to the answer, many times two horses being ridden regardless if they both canter, trot, in the first session or whether they are ten years old. There can be huge differences in what each horse knows and where they are developmentally. How the horse got to where it is has a huge bearing on how far along the horse is and what he thinks of humans. Another question, and skill we have or not, is the human developing the trainability or lessening the trainability of the horse?

Let me give some examples: two horses both being ridden. Both will canter. One rider needs a stick or switch to get their horse to go, the other does not.

The second horse has to be held back or it will gallop off, the other does not.

Or maybe in a colt starting competition on the

third session both horses finish a course. One horse slings its head through the whole course, while the other does not. One horse’s eyes are glazed over, hard and anxious looking, staring, head high, lips pinched together. The other horse’s eyes are soft, relaxed, and blinking, ears still moving, head and neck down.

These are very different scenarios. One of those horses, I would not want to be.

When we work with horses and they are learning, there can be moments and times when their look is not one of relaxation and understanding. However, that is where it needs to be headed. The session with our horse should be filled with a horse that looks like it is learning, bright and trusting, not bored, eating grass and sniffing poop, or completely frustrated, scared, anxious and confused. If you were to keep track of the things a horse was being taught at a colt starting competition, or by your trainer, or by yourself, or count the things your horse cannot do well, it can help us begin to see the trees in the forest.

If two horses are asked to canter, one pins its ears the other willingly canters, ask the question “why?”

If two horses are being lead; one on a tight lead line and the other walks along on a loose lead, ask the

question, “why?” The tough part is answering “why” correctly.

Look for the many signs and all the differences going on. Ask yourself if the look on the horse is one you would want on yourself, if you were being taught something.

The list goes on and on and the difference is many times huge, but both horses are being ridden or lead so many assume the horses to be at the same place and went threw the same process.

There are many trees to make a forest, maybe one forest is made up of dead trees and the other is full of fresh, strong, vibrant, healthy trees. There is much more going on between horses and humans that we tend to see. The more I look, and pay attention and the more I see, the better things get.

If we see a tree in the forest that we don’t appreciate, it is not our job to criticize that tree.

Instead, we need to make sure we are always taking care to improve our own forest.

Continued from Page 11 2) Ivermectin (examples: Eqvalan, Equvalan gold, and Equimax) is a newer type of dewormer that was developed in the 80’s. This gets most of the internal parasites except tapeworms and the small strongyles when they are in their dormant stage.

3) Moxidectin (examples: Quest, Quest plus) most of the parasites other than tapeworms. This should not be used in foals that are less than four months of age.

4) Fenbendazole (examples: Safe-guard and Panacur) is also an older dewormer that gets most internal parasites except bots and tapeworms.

5) Pyraziquantel (examples: Quest plus, Equimax, Eqvalan gold) is the active ingredient that kills tapeworms.

Feel free to drop off fecal samples to monitor your horse’s specific parasite burden. If you have any questions about parasites in your horse or you want recommendations on a parasite control program for your horse, please call the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic where we will be happy to help you. www.dcvet.ca

Federal Court of Appeal gives farmers green light to move forward with Wheat Board case with the single-desk was worth much more than the $17 billion estimated in our original class action.

It is not right for Ottawa to confiscate and sell assets that farmers have built and paid for over the decades and it is not appropriate for Ottawa to offer these assets to private corporations behind closed doors” Wells said.

Wells concluded “the four farmer plaintiffs will now have to study the ruling and decide on next steps—steps which could include moving ahead with a class action fighting for the repatriation of more millions of dollars of farmer money, or seeking leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.”

(Swift Current, Saskatchewan, October 17, 2014) Although the Federal Court of Appeal has upheld a lower court ruling allowing four farmer plaintiffs and the Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board (FCWB) to move forward on a class action based on the misallocation of CWB Pool account funds in 2011/12, the farmers feel the ruling was too narrow and does not address the fundamental injustice of the Harper government selling other valuable CWB assets paid for by farmers.

“Wednesday’s court ruling rejected the government’s courtroom nonsense that farmers were not entitled to money which should have been held in the pooling accounts,” said Andrew Dennis, a Manitoba farmer and one of the plaintiffs, “and this means our farmer-led class action can proceed.

It is our view that farmers did not receive all of the monies properly owed to them from the 2011/12 crop year, and we will have to again use the court to fight for that money.”

“However,” added Stewart Wells, chairperson of the FCWB, “this ruling also continues the glaring inconsistency that although the courts have recognized that farmers have a right to the pool account monies, they have not recognized that farmers have a wider and deeper interest in recovering the full value of the CWB and CWB assets which they paid for.”

Wells observed “the judges took a very narrow view of property rights and ignored the historical partnership between government and western farmers beginning in 1935 with the creation of the Wheat Board and its further democratization in 1998 which saw a farmerelected Board of Directors take responsibility.”

“Farmers know who paid for the assets taken

by Ottawa and now held

by Ottawa’s CWB, and after the marketing fiasco of 2012/13 an even larger majority of farmers understand the collective bargaining power they had

ing show.

Karl says he has worked on creating soapstone carvings, paintings and photographs, all designed to be introspective in some form to his ‘Lost’ show. A figure carved in soapstone sits in thought, his camera captures post-apocalyptic models. Both are art forms Karl just recently delved into.

The solo exhibition at the Art Gallery is going to have a special surprise, says Karl: “We don’t want to say exactly what it is, but it’s going to be a surprise.”

Karl is also working with his brother Dean and mother Emily on a collaboration that will be showing at the Art Gallery of Grande Prairie in August 2015, called “The Expedition.”

The trio, who all live on different parts of the family’s property, will be showcasing coffins each of them has made as the central piece in the family show.

“One evening, we just decided ... my mom works with glass and my brother works with wood, and that will be our centrepiece,” he says.

A short drive up the property is the site for the Sweetwater 905 Arts and Music Festival, which Karl helps organize. An annual amalgamation of musicians and artists take over the farm over a weekend in June.

Karl says the event has grown from a group of 50 to over 400 for the 2014 festival. He adds that although the festival has grown, it’s still something the family enjoys doing every year.

“Getting volunteers is probably the hardest part of running the festival,” Karl says.

The farm also hosts a number of events throughout the year, such as movie nights and music to support the arts community, Karl says.

In his mother’s studio, a chinaware and glass wheelchair hosting a skeleton – a piece honouring Karl’s grandmother – sits at the front of the studio.

Cont. from Pg 09 In her right hand she holds a communication device connected to the speaking end situated in her left hand.

Karl says an underlying theme in all of his work is communication.

Most of his works contain speakers or similar devices of some form or another.

“I’ve been working with this idea of communication, that’s why she has a communication box,” he says. “My coffin has a communication device in it, and a lot of my photographs I’m having in the show are around (communication).”

Karl then shows his newest piece, the pod that he hopes to work on after his Gallery exhibit ends. It’s an old fuel tank from a plane that stands three or four metres tall.

Karl says the piece will be interactive – viewers will be able to go inside the pod and look out from it. That’s partially because the original inspiration was more practical than artistic.

“I started building (pods) because there were no emergency or alarm warning systems for gas leaks around here,” he says.

Karl heads out the back of his studio to another building on the property, the original homestead that has been there close to 100 years and has been his home since he was 19.

Before he heads in, he cranks up one of his sculptures sitting in the yard. As it screeches to life, he points out the details of each of the animal skulls at the top of three arms that stick out from atop a tall stack.

“It was a cannon – I filled it up with gunpowder and it would shoot straight up,” Karl says. “I had a torch up there, so fire would come out for an hour or so. They were doing a lot of gas flaring around here, so I just made a grosser one.”

He heads into the original homestead that he’s lived in and worked on for the past 21 years.

Egg Farmers of Canada shares farming expertise in developing world Egg Farmers of Canada partners with Heart for Africa to launch sustainable farming initiative in Swaziland OTTAWA, Oct. 10, 2014 /CNW/ Egg Farmers of Canada today announced details of their partnership with Heart for Africa’s Project Canaan, an initiative that will help address food insecurity and feed orphaned children in Swaziland by sharing Canadian expertise on sustainable farming. The announcement coincides with World Egg Day, an occasion that recognizes the importance of eggs around the world, falling on October 10, 2014.

One in three people in Swaziland are undernourished1, with more than 200,000 orphans and vulnerable children living in the country2. Currently over 1.2 million people in Swaziland depend on subsistence farming3, a practice that limits food availability and progress in the region. A recent survey conducted by Vision Critical and commissioned by Egg Farmers of Canada also found that 84% of Canadians agree more can be done to help those in the developing world gain reliable access to nutritious and healthy food.

With the support of Egg Farmers of Canada, Heart for Africa’s Project Canaan will continue to expand with the addition of a new egg farm that will help feed orphaned children and teach Swazi locals world-class farming practices commonly used throughout Canada. The initiative is expected to impact thousands of people living in the region by providing high-quality protein that’s essential for human growth and development.

“Sustainable agriculture is crucial for countries experiencing food insecurity and malnutrition,” says Tim Lambert, CEO of Egg Farmers of Canada, who visited Swaziland in June. “This is particularly important when looking at orphaned and malnourished children. I’ve seen first-hand what a difference our farmers can make by sharing their expertise and knowledge. “ Poor nutrition and low protein diet are among the main reasons why the vaccine programs do not work well in Swaziland. Human immune system needs

high quality protein to function and to respond well to vaccines. With 6 grams of protein and 14 key nutrients, eggs are one of the most accessible and affordable form of animal protein there is.

“Egg farming is the perfect way to assure protein and vitamins are incorporated into the diet of orphaned children and disadvantaged adults living in this very special country,” adds Peter Clarke, Chairman of Egg Farmers of Canada, who visited Swaziland in June.

At home, a survey commissioned by Egg Farmers of Canada revealed 95% of Canadians agree that adequate access to protein is essential to a person’s overall health and wellbeing and 86% of them say they eat eggs as an affordable source of high-quality protein, vitamins and nutrients.

There are currently over 70 orphans under the age of 4 years old who live on Heart for Africa’s Project Canaan, most of which arrive as malnourished infants and will stay until they are 18 years old.

The initiative not only provides food, shelter, love, care and education, but will also teach life skills and sustainable farming practices as the children get older, providing them with a brighter future.

“Being able to add eggs to people’s diet is a huge game changer,” says Janine Maxwell, co-founder of Heart for Africa.

“Having access to proteins will help boost children’s immune systems while providing essential vitamins and nutrients that are not always available. Egg Farmers of Canada is making a huge difference to the local community.”

At home, Canadians support the need to feed the hungry overseas. A recent survey conducted by Vision Critical and commissioned by Egg Farmers of Canada found: Canadians love eggs; and say they have access to fresh, nutritious and highquality food Not surprisingly, the majority of Canadians (92%) agree they have access to

Beef Congress at Evergreen Park

humanitarian organization focused on bringing hope to the people of Swaziland by focusing in the areas of Hunger, Orphans, Poverty and Education through a 2,500 acre farm called Project Canaan.

Our goal is to develop a financially selfsustainable farm that provides training and employment for the Swazi people, as well as providing a home for abandoned babies who will live, grow and be educated on Project Canaan so they can become the future leaders of this tiny Kingdom.

About Subsistence and Subsistence Farming Subsistence farming is a form of farming in which nearly all of the crops or livestock raised are used to maintain the farmer and the farmer’s family, leaving little (if any) surplus for sale or trade.

Subsistence farming is not sustainable both from an economic and ecological perspective.

Sustainable farming ultimately seeks to sustain farmers, resources and communities by promoting modern farming practices and methods that are profitable, environmentally sound and good for communities. Sustainable farming is economically viable, social supportive and ecologically sound.

Fall Weed Control AGRI-NEWS OCTOBER 6

There is a window of opportunity this year for fall weed control.

“It doesn’t work out every year that we have this opportunity, but this year it does,” says Harry Brook, crop specialist, Alberta Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “There can’t have been a terrific killing frost, the plants have to be actively growing, there has to be some green leaf material that will absorb the chemicals.”

Brook says conditions like this allow for much better weed control now than in the spring.

“If you have plants that are green, and you’ve got some moisture in the soil, this is the time to hit the weeds with a herbicide. The annual weeds can be taken out with a simple appli-

Your One Stop For New, Used & Rebuilt Ag Parts

cation of a phenoxy herbicide like 2,4D or MCPA, but this is the time that glyphosate really shines.”

As far as winter annual weeds are concerned, says Brook, they’ll start germinating now if there are good growing conditions. “They are easy to kill now, but if you wait until next spring, they can shoot up and flower before you have a chance to control them.”

If producers try to do fall weed control after harvest, the difficulty is having a long enough window for the plants to grow and take up the chemical. “You might also have too much trash on the surface which can interfere with the chemical coming into contact with the problem weeds.”

For more information on fall weed control, call the Ag-Info Centre at 310FARM (310-3276).

Time to increase your Cow Herd?

Cont from Pg 30 These options include: Holding the course “This means managing your herd as you have always done, retaining enough replacement heifers to maintain your herd,” says Dehod. “This will

provide above average returns for the next several years. Continue to evolve your operation to a low cost per unit.

We know that cattle prices will cycle but what you can control are your costs. Those who have focused on costs have had success over the long run.”

Asking that, if a producer has ample feed and water, if this the year to background calves?

“Markets can change quickly,” says Dehod. “Do a partial budget on backgrounding your calves to see if converting your feed into more pounds of beef will actually provide you the extra return on your time and resources.

The initial reaction for most will be to sell these calves at record prices, but if you believe the longer term price fundamentals are sound then putting on more pounds with a sound risk management plan (CPIP or forward marketing) can work. A few lots of 850 wt. steers have already captured reasonable returns when forward sold on computer/electronic auction for late February delivery. Knowing your total cost/lb gain including your own yardage costs is a must!”

Expanding the herd aggressively or entering into the industry “If you’re new to the industry, think ‘out of the box’ to get started with some innovative business arrangements,” explains Dehod. “A few of your neighbors may be liquidating their herds as they move to retirement and have good facilities available to rent. Some good genetics could also be available on a cow lease. Retaining or purchasing more heifers? This may be a time to do a strategic business plan to see if expansion or entry into the beef industry will provide a reasonable return on your investment, service any debt incurred, and allow you to generate some profit over the next several years. How does this fit into your farm family long-term goals?”

Expanding the herd slowly “Strong calf prices could provide you with the income to operate your herd while retaining a few more heifers than

you usually do,” says Dehod. “This may be go against some experts who feel the herd needs to be managed contrary to the ‘cattle cycle,’ but retaining more homegrown replacements without the need for financing can be a slow and steady method of expansion without a lot of risk. This expansion comes down to inventorying your resources. Do you have adequate pasture and hay land, water, and labour, or access to such, if you do expand?”

“A good place to start with all of these options is with a strategic business plan,” says Dehod. “ARD has some great tools that can help.”

Rancher’s Risk and Returns - “Rancher’s Risk and Return is an excel spreadsheet template that calculates costs and expected financial returns for individual cattle enterprises including cowcalf, finishing, backgrounding or backgrounding with grazing,” says Dehod.

“Replacement heifer raising activities are also incorporated into the cow-calf analysis. The economic models provide a framework for ranchers or cattle feeders to build a base scenario and then analyze that scenario with respect to different commodity prices or changes to production and management systems.”

AgriProfit$ Beef Economics -“The focus of this site is to provide clients with information, analysis and tools relating to the economics and management of primary beef businesses,” says Dehod.

“The Cow-Profit$ program is currently being updated and will be available shortly.”

In the fall of 2014 and the winter of 2015, ARD staff will again be on the road delivering the fifth year of the Cow Calfenomics series. Go to the Cow Calfenomics Homepage for more information.

Continued from Page 2 “At the beginning of the test period, the ratio of water to gas can be as high as one part water to 175 parts gas,” said Currie. “After a year, the ratio can drop to one part water to 17,500 parts gas, or even one part water to 175,000 parts gas.”

For Verdzak’s well, the produced water in June 2014 was much less than April 2013, going from about 690

the back of your head.”

Verdzak doesn't have children to pass the land to, but he said that even if that were the case, he would still make the decision to let the fracking go on.

“I don't think it would have made any difference,” he said. “When I was a young fella, you could buy a quarter [160 acres] for a couple of thousand bucks.

Now it's $150,000 to $200,000 if it's a bare quarter, and from there it goes up.”

“So if you look at it that way, if I had a young fella that wanted to start farming, he'd be much better to have that well site to keep it on the table. Because it's tough racket, farming.”

So once Verdzak is done with the land, it will simply go up for sale.

“At this point in time I'll be looking someone to lease the land and do the farming,” he said. “I like living here, but when I'm done, the ‘for sale’ sign gets pounded in, and that's it. It's done.”

But the land will go on.

Even after that land gets purchased.

Even after all the natural gas is extracted. Even after future generations are born, who must then face the question of what to do with the land now that it’s been fracked.

Some of the costs are ones he didn’t expect, either.

Right now, there is a weave of pipelines that cross his property as a result of the wells.

“The way it's set up right now, you have an initial compensation for the line, and there is no annual payment ... pipelines are disruptive critters, because they go right across your land,” he said.

“It takes one year from the time they started on it to when they're put back to bed, so to speak. In that period of time, if you have land on both sides, you're farming around this pipeline development. It's a real huge disruption.”

“I don't feel like we're fairly compensated in the long term for the lines,” he added. “In my mind, the compensation for pipelines probably should be changed from the way it's set up now to another method.”

To Verdzak, this is a bigger disruption than the wells themselves. Since these wells can produce poisonous “sour” gas, Verdzak must also deal with that worry as well.

“Despite all the engineering, there's always the possibility of a leak,” he said.

“You’ve got to keep that in

der is either awaiting disposal or has been injected into disposal wells.

According to OGC records, since 2004, enough produced water has been generated to fill Toronto's Rogers Centre 30 times.

This means there are about 20 watery stadiums buried underground, while the other 10 are still sloshing around.

So that's what happens

with the afterbirth of hydraulic fracturing on Verdzak's well pad.

When the well finally goes dry and production stops, operators must first “suspend” the well. Then they may plug the well, if they don’t think they can get any more natural gas out of it.

There isn’t a time frame for that, though. Even once it’s plugged, the site must be restored “as soon as weather and ground conditions permit.”

Hardy Friedrich, an OGC spokesperson, added: “There is no set length of time that a company must plug a well that has stopped production.”

The proposed dam would provide 1,100 megawatts (MW) of capacity, and produce about 5,100 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity each year, according to BC Hydro, but it comes at a cost of 8,300 acres of class 1 and 2 soil and countless intangible heritage sites.

“Site C will not only give us clean renewable power that we depend on, but it will also give us a competitive advantage to build more hospitals and highways, and fund more doctors and nurses to provide care when we need it,” wrote the agency’s president, Philip Hochstein, last January.

Questions directed to the Federal Ministry of Environment about whether an announcement was going to be made by Federal government about Site C were not immediately returned.

A July poll found that 49 per cent of British Columbians supported Site C without preset conditions, and another 30 per cent approved of it provisionally.

Either way, Willson may have summed it up best.

Johansson went on to say that her community already employs a good deal of BC Hydro’s work force.

“We’re contributing an awful lot, but we’re not getting back from it,” she said.

The dam is expected to bring in at least 2,000 workers to help build the camps.

It would be located about seven kilometres west of Fort St. John. The mayor of the city likely to be most affected by Site C’s construction, Lori Ackerman, said her council remains neutral on Site C, even as the province looks poised to go ahead with it.

“The city’s position is still that we are neither supporting nor opposing the dam,” she said Tuesday afternoon. “Our responsibility as local government is to get our city through this and make sure that we are better off in the long run.”

However, a number of other stakeholders, like the Independent Contractors Association of B.C., have spoken in favour of the project.

r001690396

Continued from Page 10 “The construction of the Site C dam would only make the terrible financial situation at BC Hydro even worse,” said Wilderness Committee Campaign Director Joe Foy earlier this year.

The environmentalist Sierra Club also spoke out against the project.

“Alluvial soil of this quality, created over millennia, cannot be replaced by government fiat – with or without a $20 million fund,” said Ana Simeon, the Peace Valley campaigner for the Sierra Club B.C. “The Federal and provincial governments have made a decision that is at odds with the panel report, laying themselves open to challenge on many fronts.”

Gwen Johansson, the mayor of Hudson’s Hope – a Northeast town that knows a thing or two about hydroelectric dams – claimed that her district hasn’t been treated very fairly by BC Hydro “for the last 50 years,” and that the Site C process wasn’t shaping up to be much better.

“I would say that we were disappointed (by the decision),” she said. “We’ve been working very hard to get some kind of reasonable ruling from BC Hydro, but this is very rushed ... they seem to not want to go to the BCUC, even though this is what the Joint Review Panel wanted.”

(Polak said in her conference call that some of the Joint Review Panel’s recommendations were not appropriate for an environmental assessment certificate, and deferred to the provincial government. She said that the province could vote to have the BCUC look at the project should they decide more information is

Box 3000, Lethbridge AB. 4 BC Pest Monitoring Contactor, Dawson Creek BC. 5 Smoky Applied Research and Demonstration Association, Falher AB. The 2014 Annual Peace Canola Survey was completed

by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada staff based at Beaverlodge1, Saskatoon2, and Lethbridge3. Samples were also kindly collected by the BC Pest Monitoring Contractor, Arlan Benn4, and staff from the Smoky Applied Research and Demonstration Association4 (SARDA).

Since 2003, the annual survey has been performed with the main objectives of (i) collecting insect pest data throughout the region and (ii) to detect introduction of the Cabbage seedpod weevil into the Peace River region. In 2014, a total of 206 canola fields were randomly selected.

Fields were approximately 10km apart and surveying was performed through the main canola producing areas of the BC and Alberta Peace during early- to mid-flower stages.

In 2014, sweep-net monitoring was performed in 205 Brassica napus fields plus one B. rapa field (e.g., each field ≥80 acres in size) using 50 - 180° sweeps on the following dates in these areas: • July 3-5 near Manning, Hawk Hills, LaCrete, High Level, Fort Vermilion.

• July 7 near Dunvegan, Fairview, Royce, Hines Creek, Whitelaw.

• July 8 near Bezanson, Debolt, Whitemud Creek, Valleyview, Little Smoky, Hythe, Valhalla, Beaverlodge, Elmworth.

• July 9 near Grimshaw, Peace River, Watino, Eaglesham, Rycroft, LaGlace, Valhalla, Spirit River, Bonanza, Silver Valley, Blueberry Mountain, Woking.

The 2014 summary includes seven economically important pests of canola reported from 206 surveyed canola fields: 1. Lygus (Miridae: Lygus spp.) were the most common insect pest observed in sweep-net samples collected in our 2014 surveying. Lygus populations of ≥5 adults plus nymphs per 10 sweeps were observed in 32.5% of fields surveyed (Figures 1 and 2; N=206 fields). Densities of ≥15 adults plus nymphs per 10 sweeps were recorded in 6.3% of fields surveyed (Figures 1 and 2).

There were zero Lygus present in only 2.4% of surveyed fields whereas 28.2% of the surveyed fields contained only adult Lygus but 67.5% of the fields were populated by both adults and nymphs (N=206 fields). Note that all nymphs collected during our survey are now expected whereas 28.2% of the surveyed fields to have matured into new adults. This means points d by both adults and nymphs (N=206 fields). highlighted green, yellow, and red in Figure 1 are worth xpected to have matured into new adults. monitoring in order to confirm Lygus densities during the are worth monitoring in order to confirm Lygus early pod stages. the contoured map in Figure 2 ap in Figure 2 includes areasSimilarly highlighted includes he early pod stages.areas highlighted orange and red may warrant close

44 The Northern Horizon, October 24, 2014

On the open road A ride through the Mighty Peace Region of northern Alberta for our kids I was blessed this past week to meet a man named Timmy Michals from Maple Creek Saskatchewan who is undertaking an adventure that I am truly envious of.

Margie who works at one of our local post offices contacted me to let me know about this gent and suggested that he and I should meet, and so meet we did.

Timmy is heading to Inuvik on his Suzuki DR 650 and after he has accomplished that dream he is heading across country to Newfoundland via the Trans Labrador Highway.

Timmy has had a long history with motorcycles and has spent a good amount of time riding in Europe. In fact, he has been a marshal for the Isle of Man TT 6 times!

It was fascinating listening to him talk about the racers and people he has gotten to know.

I admit I was green with envy when he started telling me about his trip across Canada.

This country is so magnificent and he’s going to enjoy the trip more than even he knows!

After our interview, I was photographed with Timmy’s hippo and he with Road Trip Rita, my beaver.

Timmy decided to change his plans and stay in Grande Prairie an extra two days so that he could join the Toys for Tots Peace River/Shaftsbury Ferry ride.

We agreed to meet up at 8:30 am on Saturday morning and take in the

biker’s breakfast at the Stonebridge Hotel.

The morning was glorious and over 100 riders showed up for the ride that would take us through Tangent, Falher, Peace River, and into Fairview before heading back to Grande Prairie and the supper at Local’s Bar & Grill.

The wind got a wee bit nasty in a few places but other than that, the day was perfect.

When we got into Falher, we all headed to the Co-op for fuel, I can’t imagine the bonus to that store that it had to be having 100+ motorcycles fueling up on premium.

Since they had only one premium pump, it took a good bit of time to get everyone fueled.

At the hotel in Fahler there was chili and buns for lunch, all included in the $25 ride fee.

Just as we were getting ready to leave, a lady came up to a small group of us and she had a big garbage bag full of new toys of all sorts. There were tons of board games all still in the cellophane.

She and her sons had been purchasing games when they came on sale with the full intent of bringing them to this ride so that less fortunate children could have some great presents on Christmas day!

Now Timmy was enjoying himself, meeting all kinds of people, but the riding was a wee bit of a challenge. It had nothing to do with his skill, but he was having a tough time keeping up to the others who wanted to ride much faster than was comfortable on the knobby tires he had on the Suzuki.

100 KPH was comfortable but anything over that became hard on the back. I stayed with Timmy and he and I rode at a leisurely pace and at every stop we still managed to hook back up with many of the other riders.

We took the Shaftsbury ferry, which is run by a tug boat and Timmy found that to be unusual as Saskatchewan’s

ferry’s are cable run and it takes longer to load the ferry than it does to cross the river. Not so here.

The wind had died down immeasurably by this point and once we disembarked, we headed into Peace River for fuel and then stopped at the Tim Horton’s for an iced coffee.

While there we met 4 First Nations gents from High Prairie who had just come back from riding the tail of the dragon.

It’s been a lot of years since I have been in North Carolina and watching their faces as they expressed their delight at the 318 curves in 11 miles, well it brought up some longing in my soul.

We parted company with well wishes and headed off to Fairview.

The Dunvegan Inn & Suites is my favorite place to eat and stay when I am in Fairview, because they have some of the best-educated staff when it comes to motorcyclists and the food is fabulous. I have overnighted in Fairview a couple of times and the staff has always been cognizant of my need to have my bike close by, and they have always let me know where I could wash my bike.

After a small snack, I interviewed Timmy on camera one more time for

“Ride Like a Local” and we headed for the Dunvegan Bridge and the last leg of the trip into Grande Prairie.

I was not taking in the dinner at Local’s so I escorted Timmy to the pub where we said our goodbyes. It was wonderful getting to know him and I made him promise to keep us up to date on his journey!

As I fuelled up my bike before heading home, I thought about this most amazing day, 575 kilometers spent under glorious sunshine for a worthy cause shared with over 100 riders….it doesn’t get much better than that!

Last year the Grande Prairie Toys for Tots Association donated over $30K worth of toys and cash to area charities like the Salvation Army and made the Christmas of many Peace Region children better. Hopefully they will be able to top that this year.

You can find Grande Prairie’s Toys for Tots Association on Facebook, look them up if you are ever in the area, there is almost always someone available to go for a ride!

Until next week, I am your Editor, Belt Drive Betty…please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you and please, consider wearing all the gear, the life you save could be your own!

The WILD Atlantic Way is calling...

Fall Manure Application AGRI-NEWS OCTOBER 13

With fall underway, the window of opportunity for manure application is closing quickly. An Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) specialist says producers can make the best use of their manure application time by first refreshing themselves on the rules of manure application.

“To get yourself ready, refresh yourself on the setbacks (the minimum distances required between manure application areas and sensitive areas) from water bodies, neighbours and water wells,” says Chris Ullmann, CFO (confined feeding operation) extension specialist, ARD, Red Deer. “These are the rules we have in place to protect both water quality and to help reduce the impacts that your activities have on neighbours.”

Ullmann says the rules are different depending on how the manure is applied. “It’s worth looking at what the regulations say for how you handle your manure –whether injecting,

incorporating or surface applying – because there are different setbacks depending on what you do.”

There are a number of things producers can do to make sure they are well prepared to deal with the setbacks, says Ullmann.

“ARD’s minimum setbacks for manure application factsheet is an excellent refresher to help you remember the rules and get the best use of your manure while following those rules. To be really prepared, an air photo with neighbours, water bodies and water wells could help you or whoever is spreading your manure follow the appropriate setbacks for the manure application method you are using.

“The other rules you should check into are any restrictions (or opportunities) your county has on manure transport over or under county roads. I have seen that some counties support dragline systems because they reduce the impact on roads and reduce the risk of accidents – check before you run a dragline through a culvert.”

As well as being prepared for

The Northern Horizon, October 24, 2014

what is anticipated, Ullmann advises producers to have a backup in case things don’t go as planned. “ARD would also like to remind producers that, if you run into problems meeting manure spreading requirements, to make sure you contact your local NRCB inspector.”

The NRCB contact information, the manure application setback

factsheet and other information are available from any one of the three CFO extension specialists, or can be found on the AOPA legislation web page at www.agriculture.alberta.ca/ aopa . To contact an CFO specialist, call 310-FARM (3276). Ullmann will also be attending Agritrade in November and will be available to answer questions there.
