Beef prices remain strong Canadian ranchers continue to enjoy unprecedented beef prices that are making small scale farming once again financially viable. This is a far cry from the 2003 crisis, when about 40 countries closed their borders to Canadian cattle and beef products due to the detection of mad cow disease (BSE), eventually forcing many small ranchers out of business. The selling price of a steer fell from $1,200 to $200 almost overnight, and this slump lasted for 10 years, during which time only the large ranches and feedlots were able to survive while having a sizeable negative impact on the culture of small farming. Only a small handful of farmers in the Boundary region were able to survive the market crash, and even today very few are able to derive an income exclusively from farming, despite the current price of cattle. Today, a cow and its calf can sell for as much as $3,800, compared to $250 in 2004, though that has not necessarily stimulated a wholesale return to full-time farming for smaller ranches. In the Beaverdell area, for instance, there is concern over the increasing wolf population, which has deterred some ranchers from reinvesting in cattle. Some area farmers have chosen to open their pasture to cattle that are on their way to feedlots, which provides a steady income throughout the summer without the potential headaches of tending their own animals. The prices have been driven up by several factors, among them the scarcity of cattle these days when compared to even five years ago. The drought that has ravaged the western U.S. has greatly impacted the cattle herds in Texas, which has resulted in a spike in the price of beef. Pete Bonds, president of Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, says even with record prices the entire beef industry is still hurting. “Cattle prices are extremely high right now, primarily caused because in 2011 we had to slaughter so many of these cows. By doing that, what was happening was we were shutting down the factories and now that effect is starting to show up with extremely high beef prices. It has not recovered at all. We have started getting some rains, but what really scares me is this wet spell in an extended drought period. What will make me personally feel good will be two years of normal rainfall.” Also affecting the price is the rising demand for beef in the Asian market, which has driven prices of ground beef here in Canada to more than $5 per pound, and leaner cuts to as high as $20 per pound. Life on the ranch is good for now, and it’s about time.

Facelift is ‘much needed’

Greenwood council sat for its regular meeting on Monday, May 11.

O’Hairi Park facelift proposed

The meeting began with a presentation by resident Chuck Tasaka regarding O’Hairi Park. Tasaka and his delegation made numerous recommendations to

For the record In last week’s issue of the Boundary Creek Times, Elaine Fromme, Guide leader, was misidentified. Also in last week’s issue, Midway Council was mislabelled. The Times sincerely apologizes for the errors.

COUNCIL REPORT

council that would generate a muchneeded facelift for the park, designed as a memorial to the Japanese internment during the Second World War. This list of recommendations included redoing the gazebo to look like a Japanese teahouse or barn, and the erection of a monument for Japanese war veterans that served in Canada. Much of the money could conceivably come from grants and fundraisers, with the city providing some infrastructure to support the project. Council took the recommendations under advisement and said they would be pleased to meet with Tasaka’s delegation to discuss the details.

Bylaws approved Chief Administrative Officer Robin Dalziel presented the council with two bylaws for their reading. Bylaw 888 is in respect to the city’s financial plan for the years 2015 to 2019 and Bylaw 889 is for the levying of rates from municipal, hospital and regional districts. Councillor Ashton opposed both bylaws citing lack of time to examine the details of the laws, though council passed both. Campground on the move Mayor Smith recommended temporarily moving the municipal campground from its current location west of O’Hairi Park to just south of Lions Park by the current washroom facilities. The mayor suggested that removing the campground from its present location would improve access to washroom facilities and result in cleaner activities in the surrounding area. Council agreed.

Introducing

Cody Hardy BCSS grad Cody Hardy says he’s always enjoyed travelling around and experiencing new things. That’s good, because he moved to the Boundary from Saskatoon last October and that involved more than a few changes. His school back in Saskatchewan had 1,200 kids, he played on the school football team and had more course options. While missing his senior year on the football team was a disappointment, he replaced that activity with hockey. “I played hockey for the first time in my life. I’d never skated before I moved here. That would have never happened if I hadn’t moved here and I absolutely loved it! “Another really great thing about this

school is that the teachers focus a lot more on you,” Cody said. “My teachers have always helped me out and taken the extra step. That’s something I have really appreciated because I come from a place where none of that happened. If you don’t do your work then it was see you later.” After grad Cody plans to stick around for a couple of weeks to experience what a B.C. summer has to offer. Then it is off to Saskatchewan where he plans to use family and other connections to find a summer job. This fall he will begin a four-year apprenticeship in welding. He sees his welding ticket as way to get out and travel, saying he’s really keen on visiting Australia. Cody got to experience B.C. firsthand for his Grade 12 year and plans to return to his native Saskatchewan to begin his career. He’s also served as an excellent ambassador from the prairies to his fellow BCSS students.

This summer he is planning to find work, either locally or in Kelowna. He has worked at Vaagen Brothers sawmill and is skilled in operating small and mid-sized equipment, chainsaws and most power tools. He claims a fair amount of mechanical knowledge and enjoys working with his hands. His future will include music and his favourite memories of BCSS was playing during intermissions for the school drama productions.
