THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2011

McGill U fined $2 million for tuition hike PROVINCIAL SOUTHEND, SK, - A four-year-old boy is in hospital with serious injuries after being attacked by a sled dog on a northern Saskatchewan reserve. RCMP say the boy and a care-giver from the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation were helping feed about 14 musher dogs in the bush near Southend last Saturday. The boy had been told to stay in a truck, but got out and encountered one of the dogs that was off its leash. Police say the dog inflicted some injuries on the child before the care-giver could separate the two. The child was taken to the medical clinic before being taken by air ambulance to Saskatoon. The dog was struck by a motorist and died; the remaining animals were destroyed by their owner. The dog’s remains are being sent away for analysis. Southend is 220 kilometres northeast of La Ronge. NATIONAL OTTAWA - It’s a budget that could give Finance Minister Jim Flaherty nightmares, but a left-

leaning think tank says it’s one that would serve the country well coming out of recession. The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is unveiling its annual “alternative federal budget” in Ottawa on Tuesday, a 38-page document that shows what fiscal policy may look like if Canada were governed from the left. The think-tank would roll back corporate tax cuts, create two new tax brackets for high-income Canadians, and cancel the F-35 fighter jet program. It would also establish a national carbon tax and a 28-per-cent tax rate for the oil patch. *** OTTAWA - There’s no need to fear that an earthquake in Canada could cause a nuclear accident like the one in Japan, experts say. Government data analyzed by The Canadian Press show that hundreds of small earthquakes have rattled Canada’s nuclear power plants over the years with no apparent harm. Both the federal regulator and Canada’s flagship nuclear company insist the country’s fleet of reactors can hold up to quakes large and small.

“The CNSC would like to reassure Canadians that nuclear power plants located in Canada are among the most robust designs in the world and have redundant safety systems to prevent damage in the case of an earthquake,” says a statement on the CNSC website. *** MONTREAL - Montreal’s McGill University will be fined more than $2 million for having drastically raised the tuition fees for its MBA program without the permission of the Quebec government. The provincial government announced Monday that the top-ranked university will see its public subsidy cut by roughly $2.1 million this year. In a province with the lowest tuition rates in Canada and a decade-long freeze on fee hikes, McGill has been pushing back. L a s t S e p t e m b e r, McGill began charging $29,500 in annual tuition for its two-year MBA program — nearly nine times higher than provincial limit that caps tuition at around $3,400 per year. INTERNATIONAL BERLIN - Chancellor Angela Merkel says

Germany will take seven of its 17 reactors offline for three months while the country reconsiders plans to extend the life of its nuclear power plants. Merkel said Tuesday that Germany will temporarily shut down reactors that went into operation before the end of 1980, affecting seven reactors. The decision comes amid fears sparked by the crisis under way at Japan’s tsunami-stricken nuclear power plant. Merkel spoke after meeting with the governors of states that have nuclear power plants. *** TOKYO - Japan has been rattled by a couple of aftershocks within minutes, causing buildings in Tokyo to sway. The first, measuring 6.2 in magnitude, struck Tuesday night off the coast of Fukushima prefecture, 200 miles (325 kilometres) northeast of Tokyo and near where a massive quake hit last week. Three minutes later, a second 6.0-magnitude quake rumbled under Shizuoka prefecture, 55 miles (90 kilometres) southwest of Tokyo. Friday’s huge temblor

spawned a tsunami that wreaked havoc along Japan’s northeastern coast, and officials believe it killed more than 10,000 people. *** ST. PETERSBURG, Russia - Icebreakers have been called in to free dozens of ships that are trapped in ice in the Gulf of Finland near St. Petersburg. The administration of St. Petersburg’s port said

Tuesday that at least 97 ships are still waiting for help, down from 160 ships two days ago. The eastern Gulf of Finland has not seen such thick ice since 1992, according to the Federal Agency of Sea and River Transport. Most of the trapped ships are cargo vessels, but some are passenger ferries. Many have been trapped for at least several days.

Perspective Expressed Opinions Jordan Baker Estevan Mercury Reporter

Missing the ‘extra’ hour of daylight It’s about time spring quits lollygagging and gets here already. Once February ends I have an expectation that the snow should disappear. It should realize it has once again overstayed its welcome and should leave us be until next winter. One time of the year I always look forward to is springing forward the clocks. That doesn’t happen here. I know it’s just a mental thing, but every year when the clocks go back to where they belong, it seems like spring is showing up much faster than it did just a couple of days before the time change. In a way I miss changing my clock. The clocks changed everywhere else in North America last weekend, turning March 13 into a 23-hour day. There is something about having the days instantly appear longer that I missed this year. One day the sun sets at 6:30, the next at 7:30. It makes you want to get outside and enjoy that extra hour of sunlight that you didn’t have just the day before. Of course the sun doesn’t actually hang in the sky an hour longer, it simply doesn’t rise as early. As something of a nighthawk, I’m good with that. I don’t need the sun in the morning. I’m not a morning person and feel the solar cycle should share in my dislike of mornings by remaining appropriately dim. In a strange way I feel as though I’m missing out on one of the fundamental signs of the next coming season, which is perhaps my favourite as long as the rain is kept in check.

Costs rising on the farm

The only downside of the time change was losing an hour of sleep once a year, but you always knew your good karma for sacrificing that hour would come back around and you’d get the hour back for one glorious night in November when the clocks would fall back. The time change is just one of the many mental cues that I’ve developed over the years to signal the end of winter and the start of fine weather. These cues are important because they let me know I need things, like a new set of golf clubs. My clubs remains in Ontario and weren’t included in the move, mostly because of space restrictions. I will have to develop some new cues seeing as how I’m sticking with Saskatchewan for the long haul. Maybe I just need to buy a calendar. No matter what province you’re in, the spring equinox is this weekend. Weather, or temperature permitting, I like to enjoy mine on a deck with a cold drink.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) With a potential revision of an old agreement, you can’t beat the Big Cat for knowing how to sharpen a “clause” to the best advantage. Someone close could have the news you’ve been waiting for. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Certain issues in the workplace could put you in the middle of a dispute you’d rather not deal with. Express your honest feelings before the pressure to take sides builds up. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel uneasy disagreeing with someone you’ve been close to. But your rela-

tionship should be able to withstand and even thrive when confronted with your true feelings. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A romantic situation seems to be creating more confusion than

you can handle. If so, own up to your feelings. The sooner you do, the better your chances are for working things out. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With change directing the Archer’s aim, consider a second look at your plans and see where they might benefit from a revision. A workplace matter is close to a resolution. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) New contacts help you learn

some important information about upcoming developments. The week calls for the Sea Goat to be more flexible than usual in a number of matters. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With both change and uncertainty in your aspect, you might feel less confident in a previous decision. That’s OK. Check it out and see where it could be modified, if necessary. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Old relationships that seemed to be

Izabell Taillon’s mother Crystal could not waste any time getting her daughter bundled up for some snow shovelling last week. The youngster arose early and was delighted to see it had snowed overnight. That meant she could grab her shovel and get busy. The duo were joined by baby sister Maya who was content to be the smiling supervisor.

Hockey teen charged with assault for speering NATIONAL MONTREAL - Montreal Canadiens fans are hitting back at the National Hockey League after it gave a pass to a Boston Bruins player who put a Hab in the hospital. More than 1,600 Habs fans are expected outside the Bell Centre today for a peaceful protest of the NHL’s handling of the incident that left Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty unconscious on the ice last week. The protest is being spurred by a Facebook page whose organizers say they’re tired of hockey violence. *** BOCA RATON, Fla. - Gary Bettman fired a pre-emptive strike on the opening day of meetings for NHL general managers, announcing a fi ve-point plan to try to deal with the rise of concussions. It was an unprecedented move for the commissioner at a time when his league is under pressure to act on the hot-button issue. The GMs have gathered here to examine concussions for three days before deciding if they want to propose a rule change, but Bettman wasn’t content to wait. “There are a series of steps that we have been working on from a league perspective to address the issue of player safety,” he said Monday. *** E D M O N TO N - A teenage hockey player convicted of aggravated assault for badly injuring an opposing player with his stick during a game has been given a six-month conditional discharge. But he’ll have to donate $1,000 to the Edmonton Stollery Children’s Hospital and do 50 hours of community service in a hospital unit that treats trauma victims. The 18-year-old cannot be named because he was 17 when he speared Austin Hoekstra last year while play was stopped in a midget AA game. Hoekstra’s parents said they are satisfied with the sentence and hope it sends a message to other minor hockey players. INTERNATIONAL LONDON - Tickets

for the 2012 London Olympics went on sale Tuesday, and the first glitch in the system arose a few hours later. Fans with Visa cards which expire before the end of August were not able to process their orders. Visa is an Olympic sponsor and is the only card that can be used to purchase tickets. “It is an issue with Visa rather than the website or our systems,” London 2012 said. Tuesday marks the 500-day countdown to the opening ceremony for the London Games on July 27, 2012.

Five steps to avoid engine overheating It is a common sight many an automobile owner is all to familiar with: A car is stranded on the side of the road with the hood open and smoke billowing out as an exasperated driver looks on shaking his or her head. An overheated engine can render a car useless in a matter of minutes. A vehicle is propelled by an engine that ignites gasoline and causes controlled explosions within. An engine can produce quite a lot of heat. Compound this with external temperatures and an overheated engine may occur. Other mechanical factors can also cause an engine to overheat. These include a faulty thermostat to regulate coolant supply to the engine and even an

inoperable radiator fan. Experts say an average car engine is designed to operate within 195 to 220 F. Anything above that could cause engine failure. Overheating can cause a lot of damage to a car. It may damage and burn holes in the parts. Rings, pistons or rod bearings may become impaired, or one can blow a head gasket. Coolant is designed to protect an engine to a point, but it can also become compromised under high heat. Boiling coolant may cause the radiator and hoses to burst. The best way to avoid engine and vehicle trouble due to overheating is to prevent an engine from becoming overheated in the first place. Here are strategies to employ.

1. Ensure that coolant levels are maintained and there are no leaks that would cause coolant to drip out. Be sure the right coolant is being used for the particular vehicle. 2. Dirty, inadequate motor oil cannot dissipate heat as well as clean oil. Check the oil level and viscosity. Change the oil before a long trip or if it looks past its prime. 3. Confirm radiator

hoses are in good working order and do not look worn out. 4. Have a mechanic check that a radiator fan is working and that there is adequate air flow through the radiator. 5. Be aware of engine temperature by watching the gauge on the dashboard. If an engine seems like it’s about to overheat, here are some steps to take.

• Slow down, and pull into the right lane. Turn on the heat in the car and open the windows. This may draw heat out of the engine block, while maintaining a slow pace can continue to draw air over the engine. • Pull over and open the hood to allow the engine to cool. • Top off the radiator with coolant. Water can also work in a pinch. • Take frequent breaks

during long road trips to allow the engine to cool down for at least 15 minutes. • Be sure to clear the radiator from obstructions, including leaves or insects that may have collected. Men and women without auto maintenance experience should not touch anything under the hood. Consult with a mechanic to determine engine overheating causes.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2011

How often to change motor oil? Much confusion or misinformation exists about how often drivers need to change their vehicle’s motor oil. Though it pays to change motor oil to keep the engine operating optimally, such changes don’t need to be done as often as the average driver thinks. As engines have become smaller, more fuelefficient, longer-lasting, and better for the environment, engine maintenance guidelines have changed. And motor oils have changed as well. There are additives to help reduce engine wear and maintain the oil’s viscosity, and detergents in today’s motor oils help wash engine

parts and prevent sludge from forming. For years the 3,000 mile oil change interval has been the standard practice. While this may have been adequate for older cars and less advanced motor oils, today’s vehicles can actually go much longer between oil changes. Drivers looking to prolong oil changes can turn to their owner’s manual for the suggested oil change schedule for the make and model. Many have guidelines depending on how often a motorist drives his or her vehicle. Those that routinely drive through muddy or dusty areas may

want to change their oil more frequently. Others may be able to change the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Drivers should not be scared off by the look of their oil. The detergents and additives in motor oil are created to suspend debris in the oil so it doesn’t foul up engine parts. Therefore, the oil may look darker.

This does not necessarily indicate that the oil needs to be changed more frequently. Stick to the schedule in the manual. Individuals seeking confirmation that they can go longer durations between oil changes can have a motor oil analysis done. This will confirm the quality of the oil after having driven a certain amount of miles. The 3,000 mile oil change interval is no longer the industry standard thanks to advancements in both engine and motor oil technology. Chances are most vehicles can go longer between oil changes and still continue to drive well.

Car washing dos and don’ts Car enthusiasts will tell you that one of the best ways to maintain that new car look is to keep up with a frequent washing schedule. Removing road grime and other plagues of automotive paint on a routine basis keeps a car looking its best. There are some rules of the road when maintaining the exterior of a vehicle to ensure the finish remains in pristine condition. Keep in mind these dos and don’ts. DO use products specifically designed for automobiles. Household cleansers may be good at removing dirt, but they may also strip off the protective wax on the car. DON’T wash the car while it is hot, after it’s been sitting out in the sun a while or directly after it’s been driven. The warmth can cause the water and soap to dry faster, leaving unsightly deposits.

DO wash off dead insects, road salt, mud, etc., as soon as possible. Otherwise these substances may stick to the paint and cause erosion.

DON’T assume the rain will clean the car. In areas with acid rain, it’s actually essential to rinse a vehicle off after it rains to prevent

damage. DO move the sponge lengthwise along the vehicle. Swirling the sponge may cause tiny scratches.

“Only Pack What You Can Carry: My Path to Inner Strength, Confidence and True Self-Knowledge” by Janice Holly Booth (National Geographic Books, $24) Reviewed by Larry Cox Janice Holly Booth describes herself as an “average working woman who doesn’t have a trust fund to scoop from, or a second income, or even any particularly good survival skills.” Nevertheless, she embarked on an adventure that many might consider unthinkable. For five years, she packed only what she could carry and traveled solo throughout the world.

Traveling alone, especially for a single woman, requires an ability to face fears: fear of risk, fear of the unknown and, most daunting of all, the fear of being alone with ourselves. Even after considering all of the dangers, the former CEO of the Girl Scouts Pioneer Council in North Carolina took a deep breath and left everyone and everything behind as she struck out on her grand adventure. How and why she did it and what she eventually learned about herself is the foundation of “Only Pack What You Can Carry,” one of the most fascinating and exciting travel books of recent months.

loping across the fields of Ireland, sharpening her circus skills on the trapeze, experiencing the desert of Joshua Tree National Park and horseback riding on the beaches of Costa Rica, she sharpened her self-confidence and learned that exhilaration and danger often co-exist. She also discovered the value of solitude and self-discovery. Booth reveals that by traveling alone, she became a stronger, more confident person. The ultimate lesson she learned, however, was that doing something by oneself and for oneself is often the most transformational step of all. For anyone who has dreamed of hitting the road alone, this book could be the ultimate inspiration. As Booth proves, anything is possible if we dare to take chances.

SOUTHEAST AGRINEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2011

Walleweins nab Farm Family title for 2011 By Norm Park For Agri-news They farm about 2,300 acres of good soil just north of Benson and they’ve been doing it for two generations, heading into three. They do it with efficiency and the love of producing fine crops on a regular basis. That’s why the Wallewein family was named the Farm Family of the Year at the 46th annual Farmers’ Appreciation Dinner held in the Days Inn Plaza on March 3. Gilbert and Helen Wallewein have made room for sons Kevin and Ken to assume more management

of the family’s operation while they seek out semiretirement. But of course, once a farmer, always a farmer. Gilbert Wallewein noted earlier that he had tried other forms of employment with the PFRA and Husky Oil prior to making the purchase of his first parcel of farmland, a half-section in 1962. Since he had grown up on a farm, the lust for the land never left him, so the move toward setting up a producer practice was almost inevitable. Four daughters, along with the two sons, made the family compact complete.

The four girls later moved on to other professions, but Kevin and Ken, along with their wives, Brenda and Julie-Anne have completed the family circle again and all were honoured at the appreciation event cohosted by the Estevan and District Board of Tourism, Trade and Commerce and the Estevan Exhibition Association. At one point the family partnership expanded to over 3,500 acres, but the group has since scaled it back a bit in the name of efficiencies and lifestyle. The presentation, made by Estevan MLA Doreen Eagles, included

the fact that when the earlier generation Walleweins made that first foray into farming, it included a mixed operation that included cattle, hogs, chickens and turkeys among other things. But that concept was eventually abandoned in favour of the straight grain and oilseed operation. The family also believes in giving back to the community. It was noted that Gilbert had served 34 years on the RM of Benson council while Helen, who left a professional career in health care, served on school and church boards. Ken Wallewein noted in his acceptance speech

that “We’re not the largest farm out there, but we’re committed to the effort and we’ll keep a viable operation.” It was also noted that the next generation of Walleweins is expressing interest in keeping the family business moving forward. The commitment to farming was a fact of life for all of them, Ken said, including his sisters Debbie, Denise, Lynn and Loretta as they grew up in the agricultural environment. “We know we all go farming on holidays and weekends,” Ken said with a chuckle. Ken also said that the family realized, along with other farmers, that there isn’t enough room in the industry perhaps for all the quality people who might be interested in it, but for those who are able to get into it, he figured it was well worth the efforts. The evening’s program included an address by outspoken radio talk show host John Gormley who spoke about the new positive attitude that has taken over in Saskatchewan. Also on the agenda were three young public

speakers from the OutramMadigan 4-H Club. Keira Phillips was the youngest, the cloverbud presenter, who recited a poem about her favourite word which was yes. Abbie Brokenshire, a junior division presenter, discussed the effects of sugar on our lives while intermediate level speaker, Janae Wanner, addressed the topic of bullying and how to deal with this growing problem in today’s society.

Canola producers hear upbeat news about market conditions By Norm Park For Agri-news The focus was on canola, but a good segment of a recent seminar held in Estevan also focused on general market conditions, heading into a new crop year in Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission (SaskCanola) and Franck Groenewg of Edgeley, their representative in southeast Saskatchewan, held the seminar in the Days Inn Feb. 17 with about 30 local producers in attendance. Marlene Boersch of Mercantile Consulting Venture of Winnipeg was the key presenter in the morning session, giving the group a glimpse into all crop prospects for the coming year. Weather, political conditions and economics all weighed into her thoughts and presentation. Boersch took a general optimistic route through her address, noting how current world supplies of basic grains, lentils and oilseeds are low, so expectations are higher with regards to prices and demand, which is expected to increase by about three per cent. By the time 2017 rolls around, Boersch said, the agricultural community will have to be producing 2.7 billion tonnes of food with each domestic farmer feeding 155 people according to statistical

SaskCanola’s Patricia Flaten with southeast agricultural specialist Elaine Moats (right). extrapolations. In fact, demand will grow by 23 per cent over the next seven years, Boersch said. And with 2.7 billion or 39 per cent of the world’s population living in China and India alone, the pressure on farmers will be intense since the middle class income in those two countries is growing by between nine and 15 per cent yearly. “They can pay for it now and that means world grain production will have to go up because right now demand is greater than production,” Boersch said. She also noted that only a small segment of the world’s population is seeking higher grade grains. “Here in Saskatchewan

you are sitting on a big resource, but how are you going to manage it?” she asked local producers. “There will be occasional down slopes, but remember the general rule that the trend is your friend and for some time now, the trend has been up.” Corn received some additional attention, even though it is not a favoured crop in this area of the coun-

try. She said its additional use as a source for biofuels, has put pricing pressure on this product. To a lesser extent, the same types of pressure are being put on canola crops, but canola is not an important factor in ethanol production in Canada. She noted however, that since corn, canola and other crops are subsidized in the United States and some other countries, their biofuel

policies mean that these crops can be grown elsewhere for biofuels at a profit for farmers since it lessens their country’s reliance on oil imports. Boersch said the world’s supply of corn is now down to less than 18 days, the lowest it has been since 1974. So the demand is on for more corn, but there is increasing pressure to produce more lentils, peas, grains and oilseeds, Boersch said. She said oilseed production is down in China, wheat production is down in North America and Europe as well as in many areas of Africa. In his remarks to producers, Groeneweg noted that 1.76 cents per bushel check off on canola provides the commission with $3 to $4 million per year to use for development programs in concert with the Canola Council of Canada. He said canola production was 12 million tonnes and the target was for 15 million by 2015. “This is the Cinderella crop for Prairie producers,” Groeneweg said. He went on to say the development of more crushing plants and the use of the

canola meal for value added products, all goes toward making canola an extra valuable crop. Tiffany Martinka, an agronomist with the Canola Council of Canada, made an afternoon presentation regarding impacts on yields. She said that a good stand of canola is imperative to reaping major success at harvest. In other words, a good start on the crop is vital. She also noted how spacing, targeted plant populations and survivability factors all weigh into the picture as the crop season plays out. Elaine Moats, crop development specialist for Saskatchewan Agriculture, and Chris Hotzapfel from the Agricultural Research Foundation at Indian Head, also made presentations focusing on local crop conditions and immediate area concerns as they related to canola. Patricia Flaten, research manager for SaskCanola, served as co-ordinator for the event, the first one staged in southern Saskatchewan this winter since the four previous session had been held in the central part of the province.

Six steps to build a farm safe team By Theresa Whalen CFA farm safety consultant Most farmers say safety is an important and essential core value in their operations. But building safety into everyday work plans for themselves, their families and employees is often a different story. Sometimes it’s tough to know the best way to pass on the safety ethic. But it can be done in six steps. The first step is to identify work expectations. Write a work procedure for each major job on your farm. In it, describe job responsibilities and duties, giving specific performance objectives, standards or requirements for each including safety expectations. This will include describing the quantity and quality of results with emphasis given to critical behaviours. Be sure that you and the worker each have a copy of the written job description. Use it for training and annual performance evaluations. Second, set up to succeed. Successful work has two primary ingredients, the first being the right workers using the right tools. Select and place workers based on matching their capabilities and competencies with the job. Ensure they have or get proper task instructions, skill training or coaching as needed and give a full review of related policies, procedures and practices. Empower workers by giving

them knowledge, responsibilities and authority to succeed at their job. This also means ensuring they have the proper materials, equipment, resources and environment to do the job effectively and safely. Third, monitor and measure performance. The best way to monitor and measure performance is through simple observation that concentrates on objective, measurable job related factors such as attendance, accuracy, quantity and quality of work, safety behaviours and other performance requirements. Evaluate their work and offer both positive comments and areas where improvement is needed. Document your findings as part of your employment business records. Fourth, provide performance feedback. Provide ongoing feedback to their work in general, pointing out both problems and progress. Use facts, figures and specific incidents to discuss job performance so as to avoid getting personal. Ask questions to ensure two-way communications — as they say, “learn to listen and listen to learn.” Strive for agreement on how the person is performing and why — and how they can improve. Fifth, practice workplace coaching. Always set a good example as to how to do things safely. When a worker’s behaviour needs to be changed to become safer, correct the behaviour through re-instruction, reminders, reviews,

refreshers and reinforcement using a mutual problem-solving approach. Base rewards on results and performance improvements by giving immediate recognition for desired (efficient, safe, productive) behaviour. Make a habit of reinforcing positive performance to make positive performance a habit. And finally, stimulate continual improvement. Get to know your workers and find out what motivates them. Demonstrate your concern for their health and well being, career development, professional growth and life-long learning. This means giving them the knowledge, tools and support to work safely. If something goes wrong, help your workers learn from experience by tracing incidents from consequences back to basic causes. Help them enjoy a safe and productive workplace. Plan Farm Safety is the three-year theme of the Canadian Agricultural Safety campaign that was launched in March 2010. Each aspect of the theme will be promoted over the next three years. In 2010 the campaign promoted the planning with safety walkabouts and safety planning. This year the focus will be on the farm part of the program, including implementation, documentation and training. In the third year, emphasis will be on safety including assessments, improvements and further development of safety systems. For more information visit www.planfarmsafety.ca

Safety planning includes your animals Safety measures on farms include those for the animals and farmers and ranchers in Saskatchewan are being reminded to start planning now to ensure their animals will be safe in the event of the anticipated high spring runoff. Recent forecasts indicate some areas may experience above average runoff this spring, especially in the southeast sector. There is potential for flooding in several regions, the forecasters and analysts said. The Saskatchewan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) reminds producers to move livestock to locations where they will not be affected by high water levels or

flooding. Muddy or washed out roads will impact access to livestock. The location of feed supplies, grain bins and machinery should be considered in the event of severe flooding. “Last year there were reports of animals being stranded in pastures or having to swim to safety because of severe flooding,” said Kaley Pugh, manager of Animal Protection Services at the Saskatchewan SPCA. Producers need to have plans in place to ensure animals have access to adequate feed and clean water throughout the next few months. “Once water levels have subsided, producers

Agriculture Minister Bob Bjornerud and Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan have proclaimed March 1319 as Agricultural Safety Week in Saskatchewan. “This proclamation reminds all producers about the importance of farm safety,” Bjornerud said. “It is important to recognize safety hazards on the farm and take the necessary steps to protect our producers and their families.” Saskatchewan Agriculture provides funding to

Safety planning practices and training are very important aspects of safety in the workplace; but when you get right down to it — your safety is a choice you make for yourself. It’s personal. “Farm safety is not an act of fate,” said Marcel Hacault, executive director of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA). “Most farm-related incidents are the predictable consequence of particular acts or omissions. If something is predictable, then it is also preventable.” Plan Farm Safety is the three-year theme of the Canadian Agricultural Safety campaign that was launched last March. Each aspect of the three-word theme was to be promoted in one of those years. The 2010 campaign promoted the planning part of the process with safety walkabouts and planning for safety. The second year, this year, focuses on the farm and that includes implementation, documentation and training. Next year the emphasis will be on the safety aspects of the project itself including assessments, improvements and further development of safety systems.

“The bottom line is that each person must assess their situation and consciously decide to do their work safely,” said Hacault. “They have to decide to turn the machine off before working on it. They have to decide to wear their seatbelt. They have to decide to block the wheels before unhitching the wagon. These may not seem like big decisions, however they can mean the difference between life or death.” Each year in Canada an average of 115 people are killed and at least 1,500 are hospitalized for farmrelated incidents, according to the Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) program. In 2006 a total of 13,801 Canadian farms reported one or more medically treated or lost-time injuries, said a report from Statistics Canada. CAIR studies have also shown that farm-related injuries and fatalities don’t just happen by chance, they are the result of a chain of events typically numbering from 15 to 25. The good news is that there are many opportunities to interrupt the sequence and break the chain of events, altering the outcome. Here are four questions that can help you assess your risks as you do your farm work: What are the hazards? Am I or anyone else at risk? What preventative measures are available? Can anything further be done to make this job safe? An easy way to remember the four questions is the

acronym SAFE, meaning: see, access, fix, evaluate. “Farmers and farm workers have a dual role in risk management,” said Hacault. “They can be a source of risk when they do things carelessly; and they are also the most important part of the strategy for dealing with risk. That’s why it is so important for owneroperators to lead by example and always insist that work is done in a safe way.”

Make your safety plan work for you by Theresa Whalen CFA Farm Safety Consultant “When you identify and control hazards on your farm, you can prevent an incident,” said Ron Bonnett, Canadian Federation of Agriculture President. “Nothing happened because you followed your farm safety plan and it worked.” “Plan • Farm • Safety” is the three-year theme of the Canadian Agricultural Safety campaign. Each aspect of the theme is being promoted with a year-long campaign. Last year the campaign highlighted “plan” with safety walkabouts and planning for safety. This year, the focus is on “farm” including implementa-

tion, documentation and training. And next year, emphasis will be on “Safety” including assessment, improvement and further development of safety systems. The year-long “farm” campaign was launched with Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW), March 13 to 19. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) and Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) deliver CASW in partnership with Farm Credit Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Prevention and problem solving bring benefits not only of better knowledge, skills and attitudes, but also better quality, productivity and cost control without losses due to injury or

illness. Here are six key questions to ask yourself as a general guide to this process. 1. What could go wrong? Agriculture has many variables such as weather, equipment and human resources, among others. Try to anticipate possible problems. 2. What skills and abilities do your workers have? Find out. Offer upgrade opportunities. Keep a record. Offer incentives. 3. How have you prepared to minimize the variables? Set priorities in terms of how serious it might be if it happens, and how probable it is that it might happen. 4. What are your contingency plans in the event of an incident? Write them down and let everyone you work with know where they are.

5. Are you prepared to learn from the close call? Note lessons learned and share them with the people who need to help improve safety on your farm. 6. Do you involve everyone in identifying and controlling safety risks? Hold regular safety meeting. Depending on the number of employees, set up a safety committee. Listen. Learn and act. In farm safety, the old adage, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is as true as ever. And it all starts with a plan followed by action. For more information on this and other farm safety topics visit www.planfarmsafety.ca .

Cultivating a safety attitude Effective agricultural safety practices require skill and positive attitude. It is not enough simply to know how to do things safely — you also have to have the drive to actually do it. You have to walk the talk. So how do you create a great safety attitude in your farm operation? Well, the first is to lead by example, give feedback, provide training, involve employees and offer safety incentives.

Leading by example is by far the most powerful way to establish acceptable and expected safety behaviour on your farm. If the employer makes it clear that the safe way is the only way to work on his or her farm, then employees follow suit. Feedback involves letting the worker know how well his or her performance meets the expected work standards, but first you must let them know what the expected stan-

dard is. Training is an important means of influencing how people think and behave. It not only shows them how to do the job, but also establishes possible consequences of their behaviour to themselves and others. Make sure workers know how to do the whole job safely, not just the one or two steps that they did wrong. Employee involvement in farm safety is an effective way of changing

Include kids in your farm safety plan by Theresa Whalen CFA Farm Safety Consultant Unlike most other industries, in farming, the workplace is also usually the home. Adults frequently work with their children nearby and that can increase the risk of children getting injured. “Farm life can put families in situations that are uncommon to the average household,” said Greg Stewart, president and CEO of Farm Credit Canada (FCC). “As a result, learning to recognize hazards and practicing farm safety is essential, especially with young children around.” Each year in Canada an average of 115 people are killed and another 1,500 are hospitalized due to farm-related incidents. A study done by the Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) program found that between 1990 - 2005,

there were 217 children aged 14 or younger killed on Canadian farms. An alarming number of them, 99, were five or under. For children aged 14 and under, machine runovers were the predominant cause of death (42 per cent), followed by drownings (15 per cent), machine rollovers (11 per cent), animal-related injuries (seven per cent), and being caught in or under a non-machine object (five per cent). For this age group, the first three causes, (machine runovers, drowning sand machine rollovers), were associated with two-thirds of all child deaths. To make your farm more child safe, here are several things you can do to protect them and yourself: • Inspect your farm for hazards that could lead to injury. Involve your children in the inspection and explain the potential hazards.

• Build a fenced-in safe play area for young children and ensure they are supervised at all times. • Give older children age-appropriate tasks. Remember they are children - not small adults. • Make sure children receive and understand safety training before each activity. • Never allow extra riders on any equipment! • Check your provincial laws to learn the legal age for operating farm machinery. • Fence farm ponds and manure pits. Supervise children in and around water. • Teach children the safe way to handle animals. Keep livestock in appropriate pens or fenced areas. • Keep work areas neat and clean and machinery in good repair. • And most importantly, be a good role model for safe practices. Kids learn by example.

worker beliefs by increasing understanding, and offering a greater sense of support and pride in their work. And finally, safety incentives based on things that workers have to learn, do or remember can be effective in improving farm safety behaviour. For example, a worker could be

sent for specialized safety training paid for by the farm. This will give the worker some time away from the farm routine, enhance their employable job skills and make them a more capable and valuable employee on the farm. It is important to remember that rewards should be based on correct

actions rather than based on not having incidents, because that could discourage accident reporting. By getting to know your employees and what is important to them, you will learn the best way to encourage and motivate them into becoming more safety conscious on your farm.

Crop insurance improvements include record levels of coverage On Feb. 24 federal Agricultural Minister Gerry Ritz and Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Minister Bob Bjornerud announced the 2011 Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Program, which includes record provincial funding, record coverage levels, an enhanced unseeded acreage benefit and other program improvements. “Crop insurance is the first line of defence against risk for Saskatchewan farmers,” said Ritz. “Our government is pleased to work with Saskatchewan’s to improve this stable, bankable and predictable program for producers.” “We are continually working to improve the Crop Insurance Program for producers,” Bjornerud added. “The increased coverage and new program enhancements will help producers better protect their crops against risks, such as excess moisture.” Coverage levels are increasing by $42

per acre to $173 per acre on average, up from $131 per acre in 2010. This is the highest average crop insurance coverage ever offered. The 2011 provincial crop insurance budget is a record high $161 million. In 2011, the unseeded acreage benefit will increase to $70 from $50 per eligible acre. The seeding intensity calculation has also been revised to help producers facing excess moisture challenges. For young producers beginning a new contract, it will now be easier to transfer yields and premium discounts earned by family members of the same farming operation. This will allow many young producers to have immediate access to improved coverage and reduced premium based on their family farming history, as opposed to the previous method of using area averages. The 2011 Crop Insurance Program

also includes: increased establishment benefit values for large green lentils, canola and identity-preserved canola; an enhanced forage insurance program; and an expanded number of crops eligible for the crop averaging program. “After last year’s record rainfall, we are pleased to see an increased unseeded acreage benefit,” David Marit, president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) said. “This, along with record high coverage levels and other program improvements, will help address the needs of Saskatchewan producers.” “Livestock producers depend on forage production to maintain their herds and the improved forage insurance program will help them better guard against risk,” said Jack Hextall, chairman of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association. “Canola is a major crop in Saskatchewan and vital to the success of many pro-

ducers’ operations,” SaskCanola chairman Brett Halstead said. “We are pleased to see increased establishment values for canola, an increase in coverage levels and other program improvements that will benefit canola producers.” “We are pleased crop insurance continues to make improvements to the program to help pulse producers manage their risks,” Saskatchewan Pulse Growers chairman Murray Purcell said. “Increased unseeded acreage benefits, coverage levels and establishment values are important steps to helping our producers and industry continue to grow in Saskatchewan.” The deadline for customers to apply for, make changes to or cancel their crop insurance contract is March 31 of this year.

Machinery runovers are preventable by Theresa Whalen CFA Farm Safety Consultant Machinery runovers accounted for almost 20 per cent of all work-related fatalities on Canadian farms between 1990-2005. Overall, unmanned runovers were most common (37 per cent), followed by bystander runovers (27 per cent), fallen operator runovers (19 per cent), and extra rider runovers (15 per cent), reports a study by the Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) program. Runovers are entirely preventable. Preventing them needs to be part of your work procedures laid down in your farm safety plan. Runovers are a significant cause of death among all age groups accounting for 42 per cent of fatalities among children aged 14 and younger; 10 per cent among adults aged 15 to 59; and 23 per cent among adults 60 and older, the CAIR study

reports. With children, 55 per cent of all runover deaths were due to bystander runovers. Forty-one per cent of the children were killed when they fell from a machine where they had been an extra rider. “Most children con-

sider it to be great fun to ride on Daddy’s knee while he drives the tractor,” said Marcel Hacault, executive director of CASA. “But Dad needs to wake up! That tractor is not a toy. The farm is not a playground. Children need to be supervised at all times in a safe play

area and never be permitted to be an extra rider. Love your children enough to say ‘No’, and choose other time to spend with them.” Most adults aged 15 to 59 were run over by machines with no one in the operator’s seat (46 per cent). The practice of
