Verstappen named to Top 50 most influential people in Canadian Agriculture list Rob Brown Managing Editor High Prairie’s Jess Verstappen marked Canada Ag Day 2021 by being named to the first ever Top 50 in Canadian Agriculture list. “It is always humbling and to be included amongst these others on the list is incredible,” said Verstappen to the Horizon. Verstappen was named in the ‘Upstarts’ category. Last year the Canadian Western Agribition and Farm Credit Canada teamed up to launch the search for the Top 50 most influential leaders in Canadian agriculture. The finalists unveiled today come
from all over Canada, working in almost every sector of agriculture. While she hails from Holland, since 2008 High Prairie is her hometown. Verstappen attended Lakeland College in Vermilion and completed a diploma in Environmental Science and Agribusiness, majoring in livestock production. “There is no better way to celebrate Canada’s Ag Day than to recognize the diversity of people, sectors, and ideas that make Canadian agriculture what it is today,” says CWA CEO Chris Lane. A former High Prairie Elks Professional Rodeo Queen, Ag for Life Ambassador, Bashaw All Breeds
mentor, 4-H Ambassador and 2014 recipient of the 4-H Premier’s award, Verstappen says 4-H, College and travelling, has brought many new experiences and people into her life. She continues to volunteer her time to 4-H and many other organizations to help youth grow their passion for agriculture. Verstappen said despite the past year of distancing, the Top 50 in Canadian Agriculture winners will be featured in a magazine that will be distributed by CWA and will celebrate at CWA’s 50th show this November.

mirror Without A Budget Two Years Is Unacceptable
Two years. It’s now been over two years since the Liberals last tabled a budget in the House of Commons with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau holding the record for the longest period in Canadian history without an economic plan. While the Liberals have been using the pandemic as an excuse to avoid fiscal accountability with Canadians, other countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, and Mexico have all managed to present their budgets while also fighting the pandemic.
Instead, the Prime Minister continued to keep Canadians in the dark about when we would actually see a federal budget here in Canada. When asked about reports that his government will not release a budget this March or early April – when they are generally tabled – the Prime Minister simply said: “We are working on the budget. It will be coming soon.” Finally, on March 23 Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced that the Liberals would be tabling their budget on April 19. Meanwhile, we Conservatives have been working hard to secure support for workers in sectors heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes Opposition parties passing a Conservative motion to include sector-specific supports in the upcoming budget. Conservatives have said from the beginning of the pandemic that there would be some sectors that would be especially hard-hit. Canadians who depend on industries like hospitality, tourism, charities, airlines, and small- and

Unfortunately, the Liberals voted against our motion and it will be up to the Prime Minister to explain to Canadians why his government wouldn’t commit to helping these workers and their families. Two years is far too long for Canadians to go without knowing the economic plans of this Liberal government. Canadians have a right to know what shape our country’s finances are in and where their tax dollars are going. We Conservatives are ready to do whatever it takes to get the economy back on track and secure our future. Conservatives got us out of the last recession, and we can lead Canada out of this one too.
Gary and Kathy Ackles – $22,553 for the production of shrub berries and root vegetables on Sweetwater Farm to sell within 100 kms of the property.While the berries (Saskatoon and Hascap) will take a few years to start producing, the root vegetables will produce a crop this year. The intention is to begin with a 10-to-15-acre parcel in 2021 and expand to additional acres over the next two to three years. Eric Hanna – $28,475 for a fence and greenhouse on Hanna Acres. The fence will enclose an existing twoacre field to protect it from deer and elk and allow the farm to grow additional produce. Making this space usable for vegetables will allow operations to continue and expand while allowing for healthy crop rotation practices. Secondly, the construction of a cold frame freestanding greenhouse will benefit the existing operation by increasing the space available for seedlings and permanent vegetation.
Six other projects were approved for funding through the BC Hydro PACF: $8,006 for Suzan Lapp’s riparian and stream protection project, $9,825 for David Braun’s east pasture rebuild, $13,293 for Rustic Market Garden’s high tunnel cold frame construction, $14,024 for Wollen Sons Ranch Ltd. for cattle handling expansion, $18,000 Bob Zimmer for Beaton Hills Orchard expansion and $50,000 for Member of Parliament Summit Acre Farm to relocate a harvester silo.

Northeast residents share why they chose to get vaccinated
DC Recycling Owner Jeremy Parslow beside stacks of recycled materials. SUMMER
Dawson Creek Rotary Manor resident, Jo Depellegrin (pictured above) said he chose to receive the vaccine because he believes that it is a public duty. “To contribute to the data so that future recipients and generations can make informed decisions and educated choices to either be vaccinated or not. I’m happy to share that I didn’t experience any discomfort after receiving the vaccine.” Fort St. John Peace Villa resident, Shirley Unruh said she chose to get vaccinated to stay healthy. “And spend more years with my awesome daughter.” The best resources for information continue to be the Northern Health website’s COVID-19 Vaccination Plan page, as well as local Northern Health Community Facebook groups. Northerners are encouraged to visit the Northern Health website for details on their local appointment eligibility schedules – and to call to book COVID-19 appointments based on those dates to help the booking system operate more smoothly and ensure those who are eligible can be booked quickly and efficiently. editor@dcdn.ca

Despite its significance as a Christian holy day, many of the traditions and symbols that play a key role in Easter observances actually have roots in pagan celebrations—particularly the pagan goddess Eostre— and in the Jewish holiday of Passover. Religious Tradition of Easter The resurrection of Jesus, as described in the New Testament of the Bible, is essentially the foundation upon which the Christian religions are built. Hence, Easter is a very significant date on the Christian calendar. According to the New Testament, Jesus was arrested by the Roman authorities, essentially because he claimed to be the “Son of God,” although historians question this motive, with some saying that the Romans may have viewed him as a threat to the empire. He was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect in the province of Judea from 26 to 36 A.D. Jesus’ death by crucifixion, marked by the Christian holiday Good Friday (the Friday before Easter), and subsequent resurrection three days later is said, by the authors of the gospels, to prove that he was the living son of God.

St. Bede the Venerable, the 6 century author of Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (“Ecclesiastical History of the English People”), maintains that the English word “Easter” comes from Eostre, or Eostrae, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and fertility. Other historians maintain the “Easter” derives from in albis, a Latin phrase that’s pural for alba, or “dawn,” that became eostarum in Old High German, a precursor to the English language of today.

In varying ways, all four of the gospels in the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) state that those who believe in Jesus’ death and resurrection are given “the gift of eternal life,” meaning that those of faith will be welcomed into the “Kingdom of Heaven” upon their earthly death.
PRRD to receive more provincial funding Extra $384,000 to support operations for this year The Peace River Regional District is receiving an extra $384,000 in funding being given to regional districts across the province. Regional districts are receiving the extra funding by the end of March to support recovery of local services and operations, the province announced Monday. “We appreciate that the province recognizes the burden that has been placed on local governments by the pandemic,” said PRRD Board Chair Brad Sperling. The province said Monday an extra $10 million funding for regional districts is a continuation of the COVID-19 Safe Restart Agreement, which aims to ensure essential
service remain open province-wide. There were $415 million in grants distributed to all 188 local governments in B.C. last year, including $700,000 to the PRRD in November 2020. That brings the PRRD’s share to $1.084 million when combined with last year’s funding. “The (last year) has changed all our lives and local governments are on the front line, which is why we have already delivered hundreds of millions directly to communities to support them through restart and recovery,” said Municipal Affairs Minister Josie Osborne.

QuoTE OF THE WEEk
“Citizen’s arrest!”
LANGEVIN: the slide into something Our society relishes in the selfassurance of our liberty, but could it be that we are taking our freedoms for granted? In simplistic terms, slavery requires two ingredients, vulnerability and a master. Slavery also has two images, willful, and forced slavery, but both are still slavery. Slavery has two entrances, indebtedness, and being prevailed upon by force and or by seduction. God sent Moses to deliver His people out of forced slavery, and Jesus came to free us from willful slavery. Let me make it perfectly clear, liberty is not solely the ability to do or get what you want, but is also the freedom to do what is right, both on a personal, and also on a social level. Nor is liberty the rejection of authority, but includes appropriate submission to authority, yet is not the property of any authority except God Himself. Forced slavery typically is when a vulnerable person or people are overpowered, conquered, enslaved, and thus becomes the property of their conquerors. Indebtedness, on the other hand, is the result of being unable to repay a borrowed some, wherein the borrower is dutifully required to repay by whatever means possible, even to the selling of them self, which is just as scary. What I wish to cover is a form of willful slavery. Willful slavery does include the voluntary submission to addictions and any other sinful behaviour. Another form of willful slavery is when people are persuaded to exchange their liberties for promised benefits. A typical method is through seduction by flattery and the promise of personal advantage, but there is always a hidden cost. Every time we
take a responsibility of ours, or of God’s, and give it to someone else, we also give them that power over us. Consequently, the more responsibility we give them, the more right they have to dictate into our lives. There comes a tipping point where the benefactor ceases to become the servant of the person/people, and the person/ people becomes the servant(s) of the benefactor, and gradually we may become powerless to resist them and thus end in slavery. That kind of power should only be the Lord’s and not any man’s, government, organization, or even religious affiliation. Admittedly, we are all vulnerable, but we do get to choose our master. Jesus said that we are to call no one master but Him, Who frees us from the slavery of sin and births us into His family. Every slave or servant’s life will reflect the type of character their master is. If the master is kind and loving, the servant/slave’s life will be accordingly. The actions of any leadership will reflect their motives and type of rule they intend to unveil. Were the people who voted for the Nazis aware where they would be led (by the way, they were democratically voted in)? If anyone contradicts the Bible and the character of Jesus Christ, it is not difficult to discern their direction. Our governments are placed there by God to serve us on His behalf, but never give anyone His place in our lives lest we become slaves to people. So what is required? It is not revolution, but our repentance. Jesus said it like this, “Give to Cesar what is Cesar’s, and to God what is God’s.

By Dr. Christa Harder It is that time of year again when the days are getting longer the weather is getting warmer and with it brings shedding horses, frisky horses (coming in for wound exams or emergency castrations) and the anticipation of competition/ clinics/training with our horses. 1. Dental care – Dental care is important in young horses going into training and to make sure our equine athletes do not have any dental issues that will affect their performance. We recommend getting your horse’s teeth examined and floated, if needed, in spring before the start of the season. You never know what is going on inside your horse’s mouth until you have a get a good exam done. 2. Deworming - We typically recommend deworming horses prior to turn out on summer grass to prevent parasites from being shed onto summer grass. However, deworming protocols have changed over the past few years and we now recommend getting a fecal egg count to determine if your horse is a shedder (some horses will typically harbor and shed a lot more parasites than others). 3. Vaccinations – We typically recommend vaccinating horses in spring. Most of us in the Peace Country are likely travelling/competing with our horses during the summer months therefore vaccines in spring will provide the best protection during this high-risk time. Depending on where you travel and what you are doing helps dictate which vaccines/disease
Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic Committed to friendly, quality care
Do you have a pet that is older than 7 years? If yes, then you have a geriatric pet that is undergoing some changes to their body that may be significant to their health. Over 85% of pets in their geriatric years have some form of dental disease. Bacteria from your pet’s gums can get into their bloodstream and affect other organs such as the kidneys, heart valves and the liver. Weight management and joint care are also common issues. Our clinic carries special veterinary blends formulated for senior pets, pets needing weight and mobility specialty diets as well as a variety of dental health treats and oral care solutions. These are also available on our online store, dcvet.ca! Together we can keep our senior pets happy, healthy and pain free. Visit Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic for a full exam and keep that old dog or cat learning new tricks! Follow us for weekly pet health tips and tricks!

coverage is best for your individual horse. Your veterinarian can work with you to tailor an ideal vaccination program for your horse. 4. Coggins testing – Some equine facilities or crossing the American border require a negative coggins test. A coggins test is valid for 6 months therefore if you know you will be traveling, plan ahead and get your coggins test done early. 5. Hoof care – Regular hoof care yearround cannot be recommended enough. Horse’s hooves don’t grow as fast in the cold winter months, but growth will accelerate now with the spring weather so make sure to have your farrier out to have your horse’s hooves trimmed or shod (which should be regularly performed every 6-8 weeks). 6. Soundness exam – Lameness is one of the biggest reasons we are not able to compete with our horses or compete at the level we hoped. It is always a good idea to have a thorough veterinary exam at the beginning of the competition/ working season to make sure your horse does not have some underlying lameness concern that should be addressed now. If we have a baseline for how your horse is doing we can work with you to create a plan for your horse’s soundness. 7. Reproductive health – Young stallions will start feeling fresh this time of year so make sure to book your castrations in promptly before they are jumping through the fence trying to breed your mare and it becomes an “emergency castration”. Mares will be starting to actively cycling this time of year. If you are planning to breed your mare start tracking your mare’s cycle and contact us early if you are planning to breed your mare at the clinic with fresh or frozen semen. Some performance horse mares also have strong heat cycles that dramatically affects their performance. 8. Check your fences/social order in your horse groups – Horses start feeling energetic and frisky this time of year to run around and play which sometimes results in some nasty wounds. As satisfying it is for us vets to suture up a nasty wound, we don’t want to see your horse out of commission for the summer due to a bad wound from running through a fence. 9. Fitness – Even though our horses are usually outside running around, it is still important to get them into shape well before the start of competition. Start the season with walking and long trotting, progressively increasing in time and distance every week. We wish you a healthy, safe, and successful competition season with your horses. Please contact us at the clinic for more information on preparation and maintenance of our equine athlete.

Hanna to bump, set, spike at the college level
Brandi Hanna will suit up for the Ambrose University women’s volleyball team next season. Advancing to the college athletics level is an impressive accomplishment for anyone, let alone someone who’s only played two years of competitive volleyball. Hanna played her first year of competitive volleyball with the
Northern B.C. Volleyball Club (NBCVC) last season, in Grade 11, and this year, played with the Dawson Creek Volleyball Club. Of course, competition wasn’t permitted this season, but Hanna was able to get recruited anyway. “I’m excited, but also a little nervous, because of my inexperience,” said Hanna. Hanna said she technically started playing volleyball in Grade 9 as a practice player, and developed a lot as a player playing in Fort St. John’s adult drop-in league. As a student at Christian Life School, she had trouble getting on the other school teams in the region. The two tournaments she played during her year with NBCVC are the only two tournaments she’s ever played on the road. “I didn’t know what to expect, walking out there in front of a crowd of people for the first time. I didn’t feel nervous, but I was shaking, and my serve was off. I figured that’s how the first tournament would go, shook it off, and moved on to the next one,” Hanna said. Inexperienced or not, at 6 feet, and with her ability to jump and touch a 10-foot rim, Hanna
caught the eye of many volleyball coaches over the past year. “She’s the best kept secret in British Columbia. She’s one of the better players to come through our program in terms of pure athletic ability,” said Aaron Powell, who coached Hanna at the DCVC this year. “She’s awesome, she works really hard. When I first saw her play in Fort St. John I was blown away by how good she is, and that she touches 10-foot-one is insane for a girl in her age group.” Powell sent videos of Hannah playing out to a lot of college coaches around the country. She also had the help of Jesse Knight - a former coach of Team Canada who Hanna met through volleyball workshops – who sent emails to other coaches as well. She caught the attention of Ryan Hoffer, the coach at Trinity Western University, a U-Sport school. Hanna had offers to play at the U-Sport level, but wanted to start out at a smaller school before making the transition to a big university (her current school, Christian Life, has just 150 students, and she’s currently the only Grade 12 student).
She said she’s looking forward to playing volleyball while studying for her degree, and if she’s able to make the switch to U-Sport, she’ll see what happens when the time comes. She’ll play in the ACAC next year with Ambrose, where she’ll get to compete against DCVC teammates Gabrielle Capelle, Maddie Chabot, and Layla Hingley, who all signed with Grande Prairie Regional College for next season. Even though there were no games this season, Hanna said the experience she gained practicing with the DCVC this year was very valuable. “With my limited competing experience, just being able to practice at all has really great. We’ve been practicing since September and I can’t complain,” Hanna said.

The additional $14 million in funding recognizes that the arts and culture sector in B.C. has continued to face high unemployment and reduced revenue generating opportunities. This new funding provides special consideration for performing arts organizations, regional organizations, and those that operate facilities. The funds will support organizations to: mitigate risk of insolvencies; retain cultural workforce and generate job opportunities; and develop capacity to prepare for reopening and welcoming back artists and audiences. editor@dcdn.ca

Espresso-Chocolate Chip Angel Food Cake
5520 Legal/Public Notices
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Have ready an ungreased 10-inch nonstick angel food cake pan. Sift together the espresso powder and flour onto a piece of parchment paper or into a bowl. Add the salt and set aside. Put the egg whites in the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment and whip on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, increase the speed to high and continue whipping while slowly pouring in the sugar until the whites are firm and satiny, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, add the vanilla and lemon juice and then add the dry ingredients. When the flour mixture is almost completely incorporated, remove the bowl from the mixer stand and fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Make sure that the chips are spread evenly throughout the batter and that the flour mixture is evenly incorporated. But be careful not to overmix, or you will deflate the batter and the cake will not rise fully in the oven. Pour the batter into the cake pan. Cut through the batter a few times with a table knife to break up any air pockets. Bake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Invert the cake and let cool completely upside down in the pan. (If the pan does not have feet, balance the inverted pan on the neck of a bottle or rest the edge of the pan rim on 3 or 4 ramekins.) To unmold the cake, run a long knife around the inside edge of the pan. Then, holding the center tube, free the cake from the pan sides. Slip a knife between the cake and the bottom of the pan to loosen the cake and gently flip the cake over, letting it fall onto a platter. (If the pan does not have a removable bottom, release the sides with the knife, then place a platter on top of the cake. Gently invert the platter and the cake together. Lift off the pan.) To server, cut into slices with a serrated knife, using a gentle sawing motion. Planning ahead: The cake may be made a day in advance. Wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. PC184884
