Most Alberta crops in good to excellent condition Alberta Agriculture and Forestry has issued its latest crop report with conditions to July 19.

This is an abbreviated version; click here for the full report and tables by region.

With significant rains across the province, particularly in the South and Central Regions over the past two weeks, most of the agricultural lands in Alberta have seen at least near-normal amounts of precipitation to date.

Provincially, crop growing conditions improved by two per cent from last week to 83 per cent good to excellent, compared with the

5-year average (2011-2015) of 71 per cent.

About 83 per cent of spring wheat, 81 per cent of barley, 91 per cent of oats, 83 per cent of canola and 80 per cent of dry peas are in good to excellent condition. In terms of crop development, most cereals across the province are in the flowering stage.

Due to recent rainfall, surface and subsurface soil moisture ratings across the province improved by six and five per cent from a week ago, respectively. Provincially, surface soil moisture was rated at 87 per cent good to excellent and two

per cent excessive. This compares to 30 per cent good to excellent a year ago, with no excessive and the 5-year average of 69 per cent good to excellent with two per cent excessive.

Subsurface soil moisture conditions across the province are now rated as 80 per cent good to excellent with almost one per cent excessive, compared with 22 per cent good to excellent last year with no excessive and the 5-year average of 68 per cent good to excellent with one per cent excellent.

as well as organizing and leading ‘Team Canada’ missions abroad.

It is also front and centre when grain buyers have a concern, such about as the presence of genetically modified organisms.

“It could be something like soybean dust that is present in the wheat shipment,” said Bender. “If there’s zero tolerance (in the other country), it might be minute, it might be parts per trillion. But that’s still not zero and that’s an issue.”

Cigi is trying to work with other countries to establish a benchmark or acceptable levels on GMOs and pesticide residues in wheat shipments. It is also dealing with complaints about falling glu-

ten strength in the past few years — a problem blamed on three varieties that became popular with Prairie producers.

Those varieties will be moved into a new class, so growers and seed growers will have time to adopt new varieties into the new Canada Western Red Spring Wheat class as other varieties move into the Canada Northern Harvest Red Spring Wheat class.

The board will be determining what to do with the Western Canadian Deduction, the 15 cents the Canadian Wheat Board used to deduct from final payment for each bushel of grain it sold and gave to Cigi.

Salvaging those problem child, hail-damaged crops Storm damage to crops can result in problems with nitrate accumulations, especially if the crops were heavily fertilized or manured in the spring to optimize yield.

“With volatile weather comes storm damage and, for some producers, this means salvaging crops for feed,” says Andrea Hanson, beef extension specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Airdrie.

Hanson cautions pro-

I M P O R T A N T

ducers to use care as salvaged crops may have high levels of nitrates that are toxic to ruminants and emphasizes the importance of testing salvaged feed to establish quality and nitrate levels prior to feeding.

“Sometimes producers want to wait to see if the crop will recover before salvaging it for feed. That’s when the balancing act starts. The nitrate levels in those damaged crops that were heav-

ily fertilized or manured to optimize yield will have the highest accumulations.”

Hanson says it takes about four to five days after the damage for the nitrates to build to the highest levels. If the plants start to recover, the nitrate levels will return to a lower level about two weeks after the damage, depending on their growth rate. The true balancing act starts when the leaves start to brown off and the plants begin to deteriorate, losing leaf material and yield.

Unless a perennial hay crop is fertilized at high rates, the risk of accumulating nitrate is much lower than in annual crops, Hanson says. “Alfalfa is a plant that only takes up as much nitrogen as it requires on a daily basis. The excess is stored in the nodules. Nitrate accumulation in alfalfa is extremely rare.”

Nitrates accumulate in plants when the plant is stressed. Drought, hail and frost are all stressors that can cause nitrate toxicity.

Photosynthesis is disrupted because of the damage to the plant but the roots of the plant are undamaged.

As long as the roots are still alive, they continue to push nitrogen to the leaves. With damaged leaves, photosynthesis is disrupted, and the nitrogen (in the form of nitrates) accumulates.

“If a producer does decide to salvage the crop, it’s essential that the nitrate levels are known before any of the feed is used,” says Hanson. “Getting a feed test done is cheap compared to losing an animal to something that can be managed.

Once the plant has been cut, the nitrate level is fixed and a feed test can be taken. Be sure to check out Foragebeef.ca for useful information on how to properly sample feed for testing.

Hanson also stresses the importance of finding out from the feed testing laboratory what type of nitrate test was carried out as the limits are different depending on how the nitrate level is reported. “AF’s factsheet Nitrate Poisoning and Feeding Nitrate Feeds to Livestock is a good reference that has the conversion chart for different reporting systems. Often the laboratory will provide the recommendations based on the level outcome.”

“Feeds containing nitrates can be fed depending on the levels of nitrates and the other feed stuffs available,” adds Hanson. “A strategy for feeding high nitrate feed is needed well before creating a feeding plan to reduce the risk of nitrate poisoning.” dcreporter@dcdn.ca

For safety’s sake, read this list and check it twice Baling season is once again in full swing.

Many producers equate baling with hot summer days and a rush to beat the weather. While getting hay baled and off the field is a top priority, doing the job safely should take precedence.

“To increase the safety of baling procedures while ensuring the job gets done, look for hazards related to baler operation, handling, transporting, and stacking,” said farm safety coordinator Kenda Lubeck.

Properly train operators handling tractors, front-end loaders, or forklifts. Tractors with cabs, FOPS (falling object protective structure) or four-poster ROPS (roll-over protective structure) are highly recommended. Two-poster tractor ROPS offer no operator protection

from bales falling back off of forks or baleloading frames.

Ensure bale-loading attachments on tractors and forklifts are secure and well fitted. Carry bales as low to the ground as possible. Ensure sufficient counterbalance on a tractor or forklift vehicle. Hydraulic control valve should be specific to the front-end loader attachment.

Baler operation: Ensure baler is properly connected to the tractor. Make certain adequate safety guards are fitted.

No one should ever be allowed to ride on the baler. Watch for and clear any build-up of loose, combustible material in the baler. En-

sure an updated fire extinguisher is fitted to the machine. Stop engine, disengage PTO, and apply flywheel brake (on square balers) prior to making adjustments or repairs. Take extra care when reversing or turning the machine.

Stacking: Land stack on even ground.

Stacks should be clear of overhead powerlines. Stacked round bales should be adequately chocked and the borders posted. Watch for damaged bales at base of stack. Stack bales tightly and at a stable height.

Do not stack bales higher than safe operating height of farm tractor or forklift. Never allow children to play on stacked bales. Do not handle more bales than is safe for the loader.

Transporting: Carry heavy loads of bales with a sturdy trailer. Ensure proper restraining frames on the back and front of trailer. Use fitted hooks so ropes can be used to secure load.

Watch for overhead powerlines on or near roads. Avoid rough terrain that can cause bales to become unstable. Travel at safe speeds at all times. People should never ride on loaded hay trailers. This is highly dangerous.

“After making this list, check each hazard that has been spotted to assess how likely this hazard is to injure someone, and how severe that injury would be,” said Lubeck. “After this hazard assessment, take the list of hay baling and stacking hazards and number them in order of priority, so that those most likely to cause injury or harm can be addressed first.”

Farm equipment dealers burdened with inventory

By Richard Kamchen The Western Equipment Dealers Association concurs with Farm Credit Canada’s forecast of another dip in new farm equipment sales this year, followed by a rebound in 2017. It adds dealers are currently challenged with a glut of new and used inventory.

FCC earlier this month released a report predicting total new farm equipment sales would fall 7.1 per cent in 2016.

“That’s consistent with what we’re hearing,” says WEDA CEO John Schmeiser.

The predicted drop follows an even bigger decline in 2015 of 13.8 per cent.

But FCC also anticipated a sales upswing in 2017 of seven per cent.

“Every indicator that we have in the marketplace is pointing to that,” Schmeiser says.

He admits, however, a number of considerations could derail that optimistic forecast, including weather, commodity prices and the Canadian dollar’s value versus United States currency.

“We can never overstate the significance of the currency,” Schmeiser says.

“Equipment, by and large, is manufactured in the United States, and as the Canadian dollar drops, that equipment becomes more expensive.”

Inventory FCC also reported total farm equipment inventory rose 25 per cent through the second half of 2014 to March 2016.

“It’s definitely being driven by the manufacturers demanding orders from the dealers,” Schmeiser says.

According to his own survey, 41 per cent of WEDA’s dealers are reporting their new equipment inventories are too high, and 42 per cent said likewise about their used.

“A lot of our dealers want to get rid of their used equipment as quickly as possible, and their ability to order new is dictated by how much used equipment they have,” Schmeiser says.

He explains used combine inventory has been the biggest challenge for dealers, but producers’ hopes for good crops has created an uptick in pricing activity on combines in the last couple weeks.

Dealers’ priorities are on clearing their used inventories, and they are offering discounted pricing as well as financing.

He praised FCC for its retail and inventory finance programs.

“In the end, what dealers are looking for is a stable financing partner that can respond to the marketplace and adjust to marketplace conditions, as opposed to a company that pulls out the moment they realize they can make more money elsewhere.”

Testers wanted for CFIA service delivery platform for cattle exports The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) is assisting the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in the development of an electronic service delivery platform for cattle exports.

The project is now ready for initial testing of the way the system is

organized. The CFIA would appreciate feedback from those who would use the system (cattle exporters in particular) by having individuals complete a 10-minute online survey which illustrates some basic functionality of the system.

This exercise is a first opportunity

for stakeholders to experience these screens first hand and more importantly provide feedback to the developer which will be used to adjust layout, user interaction and language on the screens.

As part of the CFIA working group developing the electronic plat-

form, the CCA encourages producers and stakeholders to participate in the early stage system check to ensure the best user experience possible in the final product.

Meet Kristina Polziehn, recipient of the Nuffield scholarship

The Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC) congratulates Kristina Polziehn as the first-ever AWC-sponsored

recipient of the Nuffield Canada Scholarship. Polziehn’s research will investigate the applications of remote sensing in agriculture.

AWC is investing a total of $60,000 to Nuffield Canada over Polziehn’s three-year research term. The AWC-sponsored Nuffield Scholarship was made available to an Alberta resident involved in the Western Canadian grain sector in studies that benefit the wheat industry.

Bonanza action! RON CARTIER PhOTO

“Our investment in Kristina Polziehn’s research through Nuffield Canada is an excellent opportunity to advance our strategic priority of developing strong leaders for a progressive and vibrant Alberta wheat industry,” said Kevin Auch, AWC Chairman.

“I would like to offer my congratulations on behalf of AWC and I look forward to learning more about how Kristina’s work will benefit grain farmers as her research progresses.”

“Through the Nuffield Scholarship, my goal is to learn more about how remote sensing is being used and implemented in other parts of the world with different crops,” said Polziehn. “By sharing and showcasing how to implement remote sensing data, there is an opportunity to improve our understanding and see the value it can bring to crop production in western Canada.”

Polziehn is currently

employed as president and agronomist at Axiom Agronomy Ltd. and has a Master of Science in Plant Sciences, which followed her completion of two bachelors degrees from the University of Alberta.

“I began working with unmanned aerial vehicles two years ago and was eager to learn more about the technology and value that they can bring to farmers and agronomists. I have learned that re-

mote sensing data in western Canadian agriculture is still at its infancy, but has incredible potential to change and improve current practices in agronomy.

Nuffield Farming Scholarships are awarded to individuals with a passion for agriculture and a desire to expand their knowledge, pursue new ideas and share their findings with others for the betterment of Canadian agriculture.

Breakfast Brief Got It In The Bin?

WHEAT - CPSR #2 - 11.0

Grains this morning are mostly lower led by soybeans down hard as the market continues to get beat up on a combination of both rain and sunshine hitting major growing regions, while Canada is drying out from a few wet weeks. The Argentinian port workers strike has ended as well, pushing that risk premium off the table too. As per our friend Chuck Penner of Left Field Commodity Research, monsoon rains in India are sitting above average, which will surely help the kharif crop being planted/grown now (more impactful on green lentils) while it looks like there’ll be enough moisture carried over into the rabi season (has a bigger effect on chickpeas, lentils, and peas). While the buzz is out there for crops under water or battered down by wind, the overall consensus is that “it’s not in the bin” but with every week that passes, there is still a fairly large crop that’s not that much further away from getting combined.

Drew Lerner at the Allendale Summer Outlook Series says there’s no major potential for a weather disaster to affect this crop but the warmer weather through August could affect soybean yields. Over the next week or so, some hot temperatures combined with high humidity will make it feel like it’s more than 100 F in places across central U.S. states.

While there is some heat headed for the Midwest through the end of the month, the 7-day forecast also shows there’ll be some rain as well with the eastern cornbelt getting up to 2 inches over the next week. While “Dryontario” (dry Ontario) is supposed to get some rains during the day (instead of sporadically at night), parts of already wet southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba are expected to see a little bit more rain as well, frustrating for those already who’ve been tackled by high winds and hail the past few weeks.

In August, the NOAA is expecting above-average rain AND above-average temperatures (rain + sun = grain?). Looking at the long-term, the Climate Prediction Center is calling for higher temperatures across the U.S. through October with average precipitation expected everywhere but the Dakotas, which are forecasted to be wetter than normal.

Harvest 2016 has already started in the Dakotas, which is welcomed by U.S. flour millers who have been shortchanged in the flour department by low-protein hard red winter wheat coming off in the Southern Plains this year.

The premiums for better protein is starting to pick up by U.S. buyers but we haven’t really seen the benefit in Canadian bids yet. Not that it shouldn’t be done every year but knowing the quality of your wheat you take off this year will be paramount so order your quality tests from our partner SGS on our website here ahead of combines rolling and be ready to put grain in sample bags as it’s going in the bin (not after!). You can still send samples to every buyer from here to Timbuctoo, but knowing a base quality (and/or variance) is one of our 3 critical steps to a successful grain marketing plan (the other 2 being knowing your cashflow needs and knowing your buyer options…which, obviously, when using the FarmLead Marketplace, there’s lots…)

Not only is the quality of wheat thus far a little bit disappointing in the U.S., but in many other places like Russia and France as well. Thanks to the readily available supply of feed wheat, it’s currently trading on the international markets at about a $6 - $8/tonne discount to corn, with decent demand from not only Asia and parts of Central and South America, but also in North America!

Russia’s wheat harvest forecasted was just increased by IKAR to 68M tonnes (that’s huge…), as the Kremlin will likely be happy that they’ll be the #1 wheat exporter again in 2016/17, mainly thanks to increased sea port investment that’s grown capacity by over 100% in the past decade to 37.7M tonnes. To date, the Russian Ag Ministry is estimating that 16.2% of the crop thus far is off, harvesting 31.4M tonnes of total grain to-date, with average yields sitting about 20% higher than last year, obviously creating the need for more bins space (or piles on the ground).

This is by the numbers: how waterlogging hurts canola 1. As root oxygen levels decline, energy generation from root stored sugars switches from aerobic respiration to less efficient anaerobic processes (glycolysis and fermentation pathways).

The cytoplasm of root cells becomes acidic which then causes cell death. In addition, cell damage occurs after reintroduction of oxygen to the root system because the systems that deal with oxygen radicals have been affected.

2. As root energy generation declines and root cells die, the active transport of nutrients to shoots declines (most notably the macronutrients). Oxygen-depleted wet soil causes soil microbes to switch to anaerobic metabolism, which not only promotes denitrification (and thus available N loss) but also chemical reduction of iron (i.e. Fe+3 is reduced to Fe+2), manganese and sulphate (and thus available S loss). Iron, manganese and sulphide toxicity can then occur, but this is likely of secondary importance compared to macronutrient deficiency.

3. Warm flooded soil may show symptoms earlier than cold waterlogged soil since soil microbes are more active and deplete oxygen levels more quickly, and possibly produce toxic levels of Fe+2 and Mn+2 more quickly. Plants flooded under cold con-

ditions may end up with higher damage since plant response mechanisms may be reduced.

4. Flooded soil abiotically emits ethylene which is a plant hormone with many different effects on plant physiology. Submerged roots also produce more ethylene precursors (ACC) that are transported via xylem to above ground parts. There is a concert of hormonal changes involving other hormones than ethylene. After flooding and one photoperiod (~12 hours), synthesis of ethylene precursors are accelerated and the ACC oxidase / receptor sites in above ground parts are also up-regulated.

Under waterlogged situations, ethylene promotes stem elongation (premature bolting) which may be a survival mechanism to allow some seed production.

5. Mature plants have been described as more tolerant of waterlogging than seedlings. Canadian studies with cereals and flax have found that young seedlings (2 days old) were more sensitive than older seedlings. Chinese research indicates the seedling stage is most susceptible, followed by stem elongation and pod formation, whereas the least vulnerable was the flowering stage.

However, one European study reported greater biomass reduc-

tions with waterlogged 11 day old B. napus seedlings than 5 day old. Keep in mind that uptake of most nutrients has reached 2/3 to 3/4 of total by flowering, and even higher by early podding.

Waterlogging at flowering and podding will not halt nutrient remobilization into developing seeds.

6. Data on canola yield loss due to waterlogging is sparse, and the Canola Encyclopedia describes one pot report from Argentina. There was a yield loss reported with the shortest waterlogging period of 3 days, so there may be yield loss with even shorter periods of waterlogging.

7. There has been some research that found differences in waterlogging tolerance between mustard / rapeseed species (B. juncea best, B. napus worst) or germplasm (B. rapa waterlogging tolerance could be achieved through recurrent selection).

8. Chinese research has reported some alleviation of waterlogging stress in canola by application of fertilizer (mainly N, but also P and K) and/or growth regulators. Treatments have not been tested in Canada, but given our short season, positive economic response to any water-stress rescue treatment is not expected.

A malathion reminder on bin cleaning This is the season for pre-harvest bin prep.

Remember, malathion CANNOT be used to treat bins where canola will be stored or to treat canola as it goes into storage. These applications can result in residues in the canola that are unacceptable in some of Canada’s key export countries with low minimum residue limits (MRLs) or zero tolerance for malathion. If a bin was treated previously, do not store canola in the bins within six months of treatment.

Detection of malathion residue in canola seed

JULY 30TH – 31ST

above the allowable limit will result in rejected shipments and increased monitoring.

When prepping bins, also…

• Make sure storage bins are free of treated seed (which contains pesticides) and animal protein like blood meal and bone meal.

• Clean bins thoroughly prior to storing canola.

• Keep canola cool and dry to avoid spoilage and insect issues.

European Union proposes plan to approve CETA post-Brexit The European Commission presented a formal proposal to the Council of the European Union (EU) to sign and conclude the EUCanada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). The Commission pitched the proposal as a ‘mixed agreement,’ meaning the deal will need to be approved by each of the EU’s 28 member parliaments. The proposal comes in the aftermath of the Brexit vote and is thought to be the fastest way to get the CETA ratified amid uncertainty over the UK’s future in the EU. If as expected the Council next meets in October and if a consensus decision is attained from all 28 EU parliaments, it will be possible to provisionally apply CETA. “Its full entering into force will be subject to the conclusion by the EU, through a Council decision with the consent of the European Parliament, and by all Member States through the relevant national ratification procedures,” concluded the European Commission news release.

The European Parliament is a separate body which organizes its members, elected from all 28 EU nations, by political affiliation.

It shares power over EU legislation with the Council.

In Canada, International Trade Minister

Chyrstia Freeland told media the mixed agreement means Europeans at the national level will have a democratic say in this agreement, just as CETA will be debated in Canada’s Parliament. Freeland further stated that she fully expects the European Parliament to ratify the deal early next year. Under EU rules this means that around 90 per cent of the agreement would come into force provisionally.

The Liberal government looks forward to signing CETA with its European partners this year and to its ratification in Canada and by the EU Parliament early next year, she added.

None of this impending process changes the fact that the CETA offers tremendous potential for Canadian beef. With nearly 65,000 tonnes of new duty free access, the CETA could be worth as much as $600 million for Canadian beef exports. The ability to realize this potential is dependent upon the EU recognizing critical meat safety protocols used in Canada. Specifically, the use of citric acid and peroxyacetic acid is not yet permitted for beef production in Europe. The CCA is working with the Canadian Meat Council and Government of Canada officials to obtain such approvals.

The Noren’s annual trail ride through history filled with regulars In 1953, a ten year old boy got on his old mare, with no saddle, and set off from Heart Valley to travel, by himself, through the bush of the Bad Heart, Webster, and Tepee Creek to watch and compete in his first Teepee Creek Stampede.

This started off a lifetime of love for horses and rodeo’s alike, and set the tone for the rest of his life. He would continue to make the trek yearly, and a few years later he would find himself as an outrider, along with Gary Wendland, following the chuckwagon belonging to Del Bozarth and Lloyd Wendland, making their way to Teepee Creek as there was no other way to transport the wagon back then. In 2002, he and his wife decided to re-open those same old trails that the pioneers had started over 100 years before, once again taking him to the Teepee Creek Stampede.

Allie and Bunny Noren, longtime residents of the Heart Valley area, along with their family and friends, start their trail ride from their farm at the top of the Bad Heart River and head south and west into the bush of the eastern part of the saddle hills.

They make their 23 mile journey following the same trails that the pioneers and homesteaders used to transport lumber, coal, and other goods into and out of the area, passing some of the abandoned sites of the coal mine and saw mills of the 1930’s and 40’s. Much of this area has seen its fair share of hardships in the past, one of the most devastating being the fire of 1944, which

burned out many homes and livelihoods of the inhabitants, and even took some of their lives. Allie and Bunny have continued their trail ride over the past 14 years, steadily increasing the number of participants from 15 to 95 in 2015.

There are the regulars, like Peter Leriger, Lloyd and Pat Wendland, Orvis and Carol Sorgen, Clare and Faye Miller, Wayne Emerson, Wayne Sather and the late Gary Wendland, and then there are always newcomers that want to experience what it was once like to get to the Stampede, when things weren’t so simple. It takes several days of clearing fallen trees and debris from the trails beforehand to make it suitable for the teams of wagons and saddle horses to pass over them. The group of riders and drivers make only two stops for lunch and a rest during the 8 hours of travel.

At the journeys end, they arrive at the Teepee Creek Stampede grounds, where they enjoy a much deserved pot luck supper that Bunny has organized, and share their stories, new and old, from the trail.

Allie and Bunny started this ride with the goal of reminding and showing people how difficult it once was to get around and the determination it took to reach your goals in a time when everything was much harder. They want people to remember the pioneers who made this area what it is and the history that lies in the hills and bush of the Heart Valley, Bad Heart, and Teepee Creek areas.

Lumps and bumps - these are the diagnostic steps that are taken

As our pets age we often notice changes with their skin and underlying tissues. The most common complaint in the yearly health checkup, is either my “pet has a new lump”, or “the old lump has grown”.

Lumps or masses, as we often refer to them, can be anything from an inflammatory cyst, to an aggressive cancer. Taking the appropriate diagnostic steps can aid us in distinguishing them.

When you come in for an exam, we may recommend performing a fine needle aspirate (FNA) of the mass. This is a non-invasive method used to get a core sample. The needle we use is a very small gage, which means it is relatively pain free for your pet, and can be done without sedation.

The FNA can be a great step in the diagnostic procedure; and although it may tell us what kind of cells are present it may not tell us the seriousness of the disease. If the cells are from a tumor origin, we can’t stage it from the FNA alone, i.e. we don’t know

Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic

how infiltrative the tumor is, or if the tumor has spread to other organs and lymph nodes. Performing an FNA can be helpful in diagnosing non-cancerous masses. For example if your pet has a cyst, or a fatty tumor called a lipoma, the FNA can be a way of ensuring that monitoring the lump is an appropriate strategy, and immediate removal is not needed.

At times the FNA can be non-diagnostic, for example some types of tumor cells can be tightly adhered to each other. In these cases, the cells don’t exfoliate when we poke them with the needle. If the FNA is either non-diagnostic, or comes back as a concerning diagnosis the next step is either a biopsy, or a surgical excisional biopsy.

A biopsy is often done under light sedation, using a local block to numb the area. Once it is clipped and surgically scrubbed a small area usually less than a centimeter is removed from the mass. This is then placed in formalin and sent to the lab. This is quite helpful in getting a diagnosis, as well as how metastatic the tumor is. If the tumor is very aggressive, then it informs us as surgeons that we need to take big margins so that

we can get all the cancer cells. It can also indicate that we should be looking for cancer in other places such as performing lung radiographs, abdominal ultrasounds, blood work, and lymph node or bone marrow biopsies.

There are certain situations where an excisional biopsy can be performed. Some masses are located on parts of the body that have a lot of skin and sub-cutaneous tissue around them. Or the mass is small enough that good margins can be obtained. In these specific cases, the mass and surrounding tissue is removed, it is then sent to the lab, for a diagnosis as well as a margin check.

The margin check is how the pathologist at the lab informs us whether or not all the tumor cells were removed. By doing so it gives us a percent chance of the mass coming back at the same site.

As you can see there are several diagnostic steps involved in the proper work-up of a newly discovered lump. Lumps can be benign, however early detection can be lifesaving, so if your pet has a lump you are worried about it, give us a call at the DCVC. Hope you are having a wonderful summer.

When you are considering the horse, always set the pace Like most things, when it comes to doing a good job with horses it’s easier to talk about it than actually doing it. Setting the pace with the horses that you are handling makes an unbelievable difference in the way they handle, what you can count on from them and how they perceive you.

Having a horse understand that you are the one that sets the pace, not them, is something you do over time and as they are ready. The pace you set might be slow at times or need to be very quick other times. When you can develop different paces that you are in control of, you have entered an understanding with your horse that not many people get. Horses have it with each other but it is elusive to most people. Teaching clinics and camps here at the Ranch I refer to the ability to have different paces as having multiple gears that you can access.

The person has to recognize that a slower pace is required for doing things that are new to the horse.

Things that they already understand you can now ask for a new or faster pace from them to do the same thing.

It will keep the horse engaged mentally and develop them further emotionally. It is very easy to fall into the trap where the horse sets the pace and we don’t. Horses that basically have one pace for everything usually get emotional if they are asked to hurry and they actually don’t realize that you would ever ask them to hurry or grab a gear if needed. I’ve

watched many wrecks with people and horses because they couldn’t get their horse to move quickly enough to avoid it. An example that I’ve seen more than once, is when a horse (with or without a rider) gets panicked they will generally run towards the other horses. Sometimes a horse that is simply disrespectful will take their rider for a run or bolt and it is again usually towards and into other horses. I watched a horse take off on its rider for no particular reason in an arena and it ran into 6 other people sitting on horses before it was over. Why didn’t they just get out of the way? That’s what I did when it headed for my horse. The reason was that some people couldn’t move their horse fast enough. They only had one gear. A couple other riders froze and watched the bolting horse run right into them. Sometimes having more gears is good just so others don’t need to wait on us. The main idea is that your horse has much more depth when he has more gears and you are much safer.

Setting a pace and having more gears means we need to have more gears ourselves and get comfortable using them all. If you think of an escalator in an airport or mall they all move at a certain speed and don’t stop for anything. Doesn’t matter your age, size, ethnic background, color of your shoes, or what you had for breakfast, it moves at the same speed no matter what. If you tried to go slower than the escalator, it doesn’t care; if you try to go faster, it doesn’t

care. Setting a pace means if you walked that pace towards your horse asking him to back up, for example, and he doesn’t move when you get there, then you have not taught the horse that you set the pace. He is setting the pace. Understand that if you ask a horse to stand still that is also setting the pace. If he can get you to slow down, go faster, or move out of his way, then the horse is setting the pace and is running the show. When we set the pace the horse has a bright interested look and his mind is engaged and ready. They look to us for direction.

Think of someone you know that when you are working with them, they always have the next step planned and are doing it. If you’re

building something, they hand you the tool that you need or have the next board ready to be cut before you say a thing. If you’re heading towards a gate on the tractor, they have it open before you get there. If you mention you’re going to hook up your gooseneck horse trailer, the next thing you know the tailgate has been opened and they are moving the bales out from in front of the trailer and are standing in position ready to help guide you into position. These people have minds that are engaged and ready to help making things easy and working together to get something done. They are a joy to be around.

They were not born that way, some wonderful person helped them learn to become aware, alert and mentally

engaged.

Obviously these are examples I’ve used to try and paint a picture of what we can be more like with our horses.

We can use setting a pace whether it’s quick, slow, standing still or anything in between, to help develop engaged, interested horses with a lot of depth and ability.

Have fun with it. See if you can set the pace, and if you have multiple gears at the walk, backup, forequarter turn and so on. The goal as always is to be able to do these things with a confident relaxed horse in any gear or pace.

Enjoy what they can teach us, Glenn Stewart

Excitement rising for first ever Canadian beef industry conference The executives of Earls Restaurants, Sysco Canada and Tim Horton’s on the hot seat. A front-row behind-the-scenes view of the operations of some of the sectors’ leading producers. An All Star lineup of speakers on the important topics of the day. A fresh vision of strong connections and opportunity for everyone involved in Canada’s beef industry.

These are just a few among many reasons why the motto “If you build it, they will come,” is proving true for Canada’s beef industry, as registrations mount and anticipation builds for the inaugural Canadian Beef Industry Conference, slated for August 9-11 in Calgary. The conference is a joint collaboration of four organizations partnering in the event – the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC), Canada Beef, the Canadian Beef Breeds Council (CBBC) and the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA).

Registrations are over 500 and counting, with opportunities to register still available via the conference website. Over 60 major sponsors have stepped up to lend support. And a first rate conference agenda featuring numerous leading speakers on a wide range of important developments, issues and hot topics is now set, offering plenty of options for all types of interests.

“The response we’ve received both in terms of early registration and sponsorship has been just phenomenal,” says Rob Smith, Canadian Angus Association Chief Executive Officer and co-chair of the conference. “It says a lot about the spirit and positive attitude of our industry from coast to coast, particularly given the current economy in Alberta and the fact this is the first time for our conference.”

“We can’t say enough how much we appreciate the support,” says Virgil Lowe, conference co-chair and also an Associate with Dentons Canada LLP. “And the speakers and agenda that have been pulled together are just incredible. We can’t wait to get started and to see everyone in Calgary. If you haven’t already registered, there’s still time to do it now. Don’t miss this chance to participate.”

Among many anticipated highlights, given the recent Earls beef controversy, buzz is building around a Beef Demand panel session that will include none other than Earls Restaurants President Mo Jessa as one of the panelists. Interest is also rising around a unique “Bov-innovation” session covering topics such as best options for pre-weaning management, how to improve forage production, how to strengthen internal parasite control programs and how to take advantage of genomic selection tools.

High on the list of attractions for many conference goers is opening day keynote speaker, the high profile entrepreneur and former Dragon’s Den star Arlene Dickinson. The agenda will also include keynote speakers on each of the National Beef Strategy’s four pillars: connectivity, productivity, beef demand and competitiveness, along with educational presentations and interactive workshops on new developments, market and brand opportunities and product innovations. Related events include meetings of the partners, their provincial affiliates and various other beef industry groups, along with the Cattlemen’s Young Leaders selections and graduation.

The early bird registration has passed but the opportunity to register is still available at the regular rate of $450 per person.

Although the Grey Eagle Hotel has sold out, limited space is still available at nearby hotels. Full registration includes opening night (Tuesday) reception; also Wednesday night banquet and entertainment, featuring the band Ain’t No Rodeo. Extra tickets are available for purchase for both of these evening events, proving an option for additional guests or for those who want to share in the networking but can’t make it to the full conference.

Additional options available by separate ticket purchase include a pre-conference Monday tour hosted by Alberta Beef Producers, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Foundation Classic Golf Tournament on Tuesday, and a Thursday evening Heritage Park supper.

Taiwan re-opens to Canadian beef The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) welcomes today’s news that Canadian beef will once again be flowing to Taiwan. The approval from Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare to resume imports of Canadian beef comes days after a market expansion announcement by Mexico.

CCA President Dan Darling said the resumption of trade in Taiwan, along with the full restoration of trade with Mexico last week, is great news for beef producers. “When the border is open, Taiwan is usually one of our top 10 export markets for Canadian beef,” he said. “All of these market expansions are important; every gain in market access supports competition for Canadian beef.”

Today’s decision by Taiwan restores previous access for Canadian beef from cattle under-30-months of age (UTM).

Taiwan had imposed a temporary suspension of Canadian beef imports in February 2015, following Canada’s last

case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) earlier that month.

Taiwan was Canada’s seventh largest market in 2014, taking $12 million of Canadian beef exports. Once trade resumes, Canadian beef exporters anticipate shipments could reach the $10 million per year range in the short term, and as much as $15 million annually within five years.

Last week’s announcement of normalized beef access to Mexico and now restoration of access to Taiwan are significant, as they mark the removal of some of the few remaining BSE trade restrictions in the world. These are positive developments that will help instill confidence in Canadian beef producers to grow their herds, Darling said.

The most significant remaining BSE-related market restriction that CCA and the Government of Canada are continuing to work on is expansion of access in China from boneless UTM to full UTM.Canadian cents per pound.

Taiwan dishes will now have the opportunity to have more Canadian beef in their mix. SUPPLIED Photo

The AgCoalition recently completed a province-wide consultation process that reaffirmed the agriculture community’s commitment to lead the ongoing work to foster a culture of farm safety in Alberta.

“Farmers, ranchers and employees demonstrated excellent leadership in completing these sessions during a busy time of year,” said Kent Erickson, AgCoalition CoChair. “It is clear that the agriculture community is motivated to lead the process of developing a safety culture that actually works effectively at the farm and ranch level.”

The meetings used a series of workshops to gain specific insights into what will and will not work on a farm or ranch in relation to the five topics being discussed during the Government of Alberta’s Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Worker (Bill 6) consultation sessions.

Participants also took time to identify current leading safety practices and discussed implementing a measurement approach to demonstrate improvement in agriculture safety over time. Throughout the workshops, participants expressed that farm and ranch safety should be industry-led and that the AgCoalition is poised to carry out this function.

“Farm and ranch safety has always been a top priority for the agriculture community and it was clear during our consultations that our industry wants to lead the process of building on this culture,” said Page Stuart, AgCoalition Co-Chair. “Given our far-reaching representation and producer-led structure, we believe this is an excellent function for the AgCoalition to carry out.”

Meeting insights are currently being compiled to inform key policy perspectives. In-turn, producer representatives who are part of the Government consultation process will bring forward these perspectives to ensure broader agriculture community representation. It is the expectation of the agricultural community that these perspectives be honoured and respectfully considered during the consultation process.

It is public consultation time on veterinary drug regulations Public consultation on new regulations for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) related to veterinary drugs The purpose of this consultation is to ask for comments on proposed changes to: restrict the importation of certain veterinary drugs introduce an easier way to access low-risk veterinary health products require manufacturers, veterinarians and compounders to follow stricter rules regarding

the quality of the active ingredients used in antimicrobials require manufacturers, importers and compounders to provide sales information so that the federal government can better monitor the use of antimicrobial drugs These changes are primarily intended to close loopholes in current active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and own use importation (OUI) regulations that CCA and ABP have long advocated for. However, we will need to be sure that non-medically important products

such as implants, ionophores, and parasiticides remain available under OUI due to the cost differential between Canada and the United States that exists for some of these products.

The full regulatory impact analysis statement and proposed regulatory amendments as published in the Canada Gazette, Part I can be found here. The comment period is open until September 14, 2016, and comments must cite the Canada Gazette, Part I, the date of publication (July 2, 2016), and be addressed to:

Research Committee met earlier this month on letters of intent Quantify the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in bovine pathogens in cattle arriving at the feedlot prior to any antimicrobial treatment at the lot, and/or in cull cattle arriving for slaughter.

Research proposals were evaluated for their likelihood to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of Alberta’s cattle producers over the short and long term, based on five criteria: Relevance to the identified research priorities stated above, Scientific merit, including statistical power calculations and economic analysis where applicable, A clear communication and technology transfer plan to facilitate the uptake of research by the beef industry, and to

communicate results to the public and policy makers, Potential for impact on profitability, productivity and/or sustainability, Inventiveness and originality for one-off projects, or an explicit explanation of how the project fits into a larger research program.

Based on alignment with the priorities of the call and the evaluation criteria for project, six letters of intent were selected to move forward to the full proposal stage. Full proposals are due the end of August, then they will be sent out for peer review, and final funding decisions will be made some time in November.

ABP’s Research Committee met on July 5 to discuss letters of intent received through the joint $1.5 million ABP/ALMA research call focused on antimicrobial use and resistance.

Fifteen letters of intent were received, requesting almost $3.5 million in funding. We were also fortunate to have some subject matter experts join us to provide un-biased advice on these highly technical proposals.

Projects had to clearly fit into the following research priorities, which were guided by the National Beef Antimicrobial Research Strategy, developed by the Beef Cattle Research Council and the Beef Value Chain Roundtable with input from producers, researchers, and veterinarians: Identify and/or develop practical and economically viable modifications to current beef production practices that reduce the need for non-ionophore in-feed antimicrobials (e.g. tylosin and oxy/chlortetracycline). The development of pre/ pro/synbiotics, the use of plant-based or other chemical antimicrobial alternatives, and vaccine development were considered outside of scope and were not considered.

Identify and/or quantify differences in animal biological processes or genetics that affect animal health responses to high grain diets.

Develop and pilot rapid and/or chute-side diagnostic techniques that can identify antimicrobial resistant bovine pathogens and help inform antimicrobial treatment decisions in real-time.

Quantify baseline antimicrobial use data at both the cow/ calf and feedlot levels.

THE BIG BEND

More on the history and people of the Blueberry Mountain area William Franklin

COLLINS, PART II

By Elsie Porterfield William Franklin Collins, better known in the area as “Shorty”, came to help survey the Blueberry Mountain area in 1919-1920, and filed on the north half of 26-80-8-6.

He returned to Calgary and in February of 1921 married Jessie Clowes. They came to live in the area in late 1921, and their log home consisted of two rooms. The partition was made with boards taken from packing cases they used to bring their belongings in.

The walls of the log house were chinked with dry moss.

The floor was boards, under which was a cellar where they kept their vegetables and other supplies, to keep them as cool as possible. They used wood stoves and coal oil lamps, and of course had the little biffy out back. Water was hauled

from creeks or dugouts in barrels for household use, and in winter people usually melted snow in barrels which were situated close to the wood heater. Washing was done on a scrub board and tub for many years. White cottons were put in a boiler of water and boiled for a while to keep them white. Travelling to Spirit was done with team and sleigh in winter months when roads were frozen. Supplies for several months were brought in at this time.

Their son Roy was born in Spirit River on May 28th, 1922. At the age of three weeks he was taken home on horseback, the only way of travel at that time of year. It was a distance of about 3035 miles. Settlers would take turns once a month and go on horseback, a three day trip, to town and bring out the mail.

Whoever went, would notify the other settlers what day he

Pole bending! SUPPLIED PhOTO

would be back, and everyone would gather at his place that evening for a party and dance, and to get their mail. This was repeated every month till Mr. Milldrum later became postmaster.

The veterans of the first World War got together and built a log hall, which turned out to be built on the road allowance, so there was a bend in the road. Dances and Armistice celebrations were held here, and as the settlement grew, it became the first school. The first teacher was Miss Walker who later became Mrs. Victor Mitchell. At that time school started when roads became passable in the spring, and ran till it became very cold, usually in November or early December. The winter months were holiday time. This practice was carried out until 1939.

In order to hear the first radio we had, we had to use

head phones. We were always pleased when company came, as we were allowed to take turns listening to the radio while mom and dad visited. Dad bought a threshing machine and tractor in 1927, and it took a week to bring it in from Spirit River. He also had one of the first cars in the district, a Model T Ford. He did a lot of blacksmith work, and also had a grain crusher.

He crushed grain for flour, and also animal feed, for many of the settlers who came many miles to get their grain crushed.

He built a closed in sleigh and put a stove in it. This was pulled by a team of horses, with the reins coming through small holes under the front window. The sleigh had a side door and a window in the back, and one seat under which some wood was stored.

This was used for transportation to school when school operated all winter. There was a barn at the school for the horses, and each family supplied their own feed for the horses. All grain produced on the farm was taken by team and sleigh to sell in Spirit River, until the 1940’s when trucks came into use. Cattle that were sold were herded into town by men on horseback, and someone went with a team and wagon to carry hay, and food for the men for the trip. There were two overnight stopping places on the way to town, where men and horses could spend the night.

In the Second World War, Dad served in the army, and on his return moved to Richmond, B.C. in 1947 where he worked in a cannery until his illness. He passed away in November 1955, and mother passed away in Spirit River in October 1965. They are both buried in Forrest Lawn Cemetery, Vancouver, B.C. Their family consisted of four. A son Roy, now living in Perth, Australia. He has four sons. Daughters – Elsie in Spirit River, has a daughter and son. Marjorie in Canby, Oregon, U.S.A. has a daughter and son. Irene in Richmond, B.C. has three daughters and a son.

Cattlemen’s Association attends NCBA summer conference Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) President Dan Darling and Vice President David Haywood Farmer, along with John Masswohl, Director of Government and International Relations, recently attended the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Summer Conference July 14-15 in Denver. Now that the Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) dispute has been resolved, NCBA’s top trade priority is to get the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement implemented. The CCA shares this objective with them as a top trade priority.

During the opening session lunch, there was a panel discussion on the cost to the U.S. cattle and beef industry of failure by U.S. Con-

gress to implement the TPP. They have estimated the cost at $367,000 USD per day that the U.S. beef sector is losing while Australia has a tariff advantage on beef access to Japan.

The NCBA has launched the TPP Now website (http://tppnow.com/) to further explain the consequences of delay.

The NCBA also expressed concern that Canada and other countries could tire of waiting for U.S. action and proceed with their own bilateral agreements with Japan. This is definitely an approach the CCA has been advocating for in Ottawa. In fact, Canada started negotiating a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA) with Japan in 2012, and has already conducted

seven rounds of negotiation. The bilateral negotiations took a breather when Japan took a seat at the TPP table, but the framework is in place for Canada and Japan pick back up where they left off.

Another major concern and subject of discussion at the conference was the volatility of the futures market. There did not appear to be a clear recommendation about policies or mechanisms that could be put in place to improve the situation, but this will certainly continue to be a predominant topic of study and debate within the U.S. Canadian producers will have a keen interest in the discussion and its outcomes. The

NCBA is very eager to gain official access to China and CCA fielded many questions in the hallways about Canada’s experience and success in that market. Despite China being Canada’s second largest beef export market in 2015, the Canadian beef industry is still looking to expand access to include bone-in product, as well as enable fresh chilled exports. The zero tolerance on ractopamine by China also continues to be a challenge and the goal is to see China adopt the Codex standard for a maximum residue limit.

Currently, Canada has frozen boneless under-30-month (UTM) access to China while the U.S. remains without access.

Princess Auto raises funds to help keep kids safe This past March, Princess Auto raised over $48,000 for child farm safety thanks to the generosity of their customers across Canada. All throughout March, cashiers asked customers to donate a toonie at the till to support Progressive Agriculture Foundation (PAF) Safety Days® for children in Canada.

The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) has facilitated PAF Safety Days in Canada since 2002. This year, Princess Auto helped these efforts through its toonie at the till campaign.

“This year, we have over 90 safety day events scheduled to take place in Canada,” says Marcel Hacault, CASA’s executive Director. “Potentially, over 20,000 children and volunteers could take part in a safety day event in 2016. Thanks to Princess Auto and their customers, we are able to continue to expand the program.”

A typical safety day consists of oneday, age-appropriate safety events that help children learn how to be safe on the farm. It’s the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America. The funds donated by Princess Auto and their customers will go towards the cost of running the PAF safety day program in the province in which it was raised.

“We’re happy to work with the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association to help raise funds for PAF Safety Days in Canada,” says Craig Coutts, VP of Sales at Princess Auto. “Our store cashiers did a fantastic job promoting farm safety by selling the paper symbols and raising $48, 270. This is one of several ways Princess Auto gets involved in communities across Canada.”

This is the second year that Princess Auto has helped raise funds to keep

kids safe. Last year, Princess Auto ran a similar campaign in Manitoba raising over $6,000. Princess Auto is a corporate sponsor of PAF Safety Days and is a Safety Supporter of Canadian Agricultural Safety Week 2016.

For more information about PAF Safety Days, visit casa-acsa.ca/SafetyDays.

The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and safety of farmers, their families and agricultural workers. CASA is funded in part by Growing Forward 2, a federal, provincial and territorial initiative and receives additional support from the agricultural and corporate sectors.

44 The Northern Horizon, July 29, 2016

Betty has filed a baker’s dozen columns on her Fort Mac attack. Part VI

In the last instalment of My Time in Fort Mac, I left off with having had my stuffed Dalmatian firehouse dog, “Lucky”, gifted to me by Jim of the Leduc Fire Department, absconded with.

I have no idea where he went, who took him, or if they felt they needed him more than I, all I knew was he was gone and Brittany and Becca hadn’t seen anything.

Now I am not one to normally cry.

Get mad yes - tell someone where to go and how to get there - sadly, I still do that sometimes...

But for me to actually cry, well it means I have been either been wounded to the core or moved beyond words.

Jim’s gesture and that of his fire crew meant a lot to me.

This was the second time I had something taken from me while on Mac Island and I felt pretty violated. (The first time involved a homeless man taking smokes out of my duffle bag and me catching him.)

Late on Sunday afternoon, Keltie-May Nicoll from Leduc Fire and I were talking and I told her that someone had taken “Lucky”, about 40 minutes later she sought me out with a replacement. She had me in tears.

We hugged and I thanked her from the bottom of my heart. Nicole took a whole lot of sting out of the day - she literally saved the day!

There were some little red bags that could be used as backpacks kicking around and so I grabbed one, put “Lucky” into and never let

him out of my reach for the rest of my time in Fort Mac...

This had been a very discouraging Mother’s Day. It had started out well, but from the time I discovered “Lucky” was missing to the time I walked out of Fort Mac at 10 pm that night, it was pretty much a “shit day”.

You see, I was interviewed by an RCMP officer regarding two young men who had taken items out of the Marks Work Warhorse and Canadian Tire stores on I think it was Thursday and Friday. These young men tried to tell the police that they got their orders from me.

As I explained to the Officer, I didn’t ask them to get me anything. The only man who got supplies for me was a man named Mitch who was accompanied by the Assistant Manager of the Sobey’s & Safeway stores on many a trip and he would come to me and ask if I needed anything.

A little while later, this same officer comes back to get a recorded statement.

And a little while later another interview over these same young guys, this time with both a male and female RCMP officer. Again it was a recorded interview.

By this third interview I was pretty upset.

These two young guys had a little pick up with a small trailer they were towing behind and they had been working their butts off.

They had hauled fire extinguishers, cases of bottled water, they had rescued animals and just seemed to be helping all over the place. We never really got to know each other as they’d come into our area, drop off whatever was

meant for our station, then doodle off to drop other items off.

I am not sure what business they went into the first time, or with whom but they told me they had gone with a police officer and a firefighter had gone and gotten gloves, flashlights, safety glasses and other items that apparently the fire teams were looking for on Thursday night. The next morning they had gotten coveralls, tee shirts, vests, socks...and dumped them on the sidewalk infant of my station which I was not very happy about and so they went about the task of sorting them and making sense of things instead of this huge heap of stuff.

Well apparently these two young guys had just decided on their own to go and get these things.

When the RCMP arrested them, they tried to blame myself and another person for ordering them to go get these items.

I was pissed for a number of reasons. Number one, while I may have a “let’s git er done attitude”, I would NEVER ORDER anyone to go take supplies unless I had permission from an owner or someone in charge at the command centre. I was here to feed people, to purchase the supplies like tobacco, moleskin, foot powder and air masks that could not be had in town at that time and to coordinate donated food and personal stuff - period.

In fact, I had several people call me, give me their addresses, tell me about their freezers filled with meats etc and give me the codes to get into their houses and permission to do so.

I never acted on those offers.

I was upset at tax payers money being wasted on this entire ordeal. Three times of being interviewed over the exact same incident was getting old.

These young folks weren’t taking items for themselves - they were doing their best to help out. The stuff they did take went straight to first responders who truly needed these things.

We, at that time, were in a state of emergency.

Theses two young fellas were not looting for personal gain. They didn’t take TV’s or anything like that, they took things sox and safety

glasses and flash lights, vests and coveralls.

I feel bad for these kids, but I was pissed too that they tried to blame me for directing them when I hadn’t. None the less, these kids were, I believe, very sincere in their desire to help.

I get that the RCMP had to do their job, the incidences had to be reported for insurance etc., but I felt that three times was over the top.

It’s one of those double edged swords, none of these officers were anything but polite and

apologetic, telling me each time that they had been tasked with doing these interviews.

I get it, but I didn’t like it much.

Kimmy and Tony, some friends of mine from Provost, had brought up a trailer earlier in the day and we got it all set up. They had the fridge stocked, sleeping bags and pillows and supplies for the first responders - OH and they had brought some movies!

Well - the plan was, we gals would have a girls night. There were four beds, and Lynda and I would leave in the morning as Lynda was on her way down with my car to pick me up. I needed to be in Two Hills for Tuesday Night as this wonderful small town north of Fort Saskatchewan had just won our inaugural “Canada’s MOST Rider Friendly Community Contest”, and I had meeting with the community leaders and a presentation of a trophy and some road signs to make.

Well wouldn’t you know it, my request to have Lynda drive in for the night to take me home in the morning was turned down. As

Brittany and Becca, I folded up the other blankets and put them in a box for someone else to use.

I said goodbye to girls and grabbed my two duffel bags and walked out to Holly’s tow truck.

It was about 10 PM when I got to Anzac and it was 11 pm before Lynda made it to me.

In the meantime I sat in a car with some young people who were waiting to get in to rescue animals.

I was thankful because it was some cold out.

When Lynda arrived, I hopped in the driver’s seat and we drove as far as Wandering River and I climbed in the backseat and had about a four hour snooze and then headed home, Lynda was curled up in the passenger seat with the seat warmer on.

While I was driving to Wandering River, I got a text. It was from Brittany telling me that I could get a ride out in the morning but that was all AEMA could offer me. I thanked them but explained that “I had already left, remember, I had said goodbye?” From then on I had zero communications with Brittany & Becca, which concerned me but I stayed in communication with Jeremy daily so I could help coordinate supplies. I never thought to ask Jeremy who was now using Kimmy and Tony’s trailer if he had picked up my cooler and Lynda’s king sized blanket and sleeping bag. I guess I should have because now these three items are also gone. Oh well, it’s just stuff and obviously someone needed it more than we did.

The whole drive home I had this plan formulating in my head to help first responders in the future.

I drove Lynda crazy talking it out I am sure.

Up by Sucker creek First Nations, an enormous mountain cat went bounding across the road.

Both Lynda and I were awestruck at his size. He was obviously fleeing the fires, and it was only two big leaps and he was across the highway and one leap and he was in the bush. He was magnificent.

I was so happy to get home mid-day on Monday, May 9th. I lent Lynda my car for the afternoon so she could get some things done as her truck was in being fixed. My hubby had to go to work at 2:30 pm and so I ended up having a long soak in the tub and then hit the hay, sleeping for about 12 hours straight through.

I was happy to sit at my desk on Tuesday morning, May 10th making out paycheques for my contractors with my two guardians looking over me...

Sarge and Lucky....My two buddies - my reminders of some very special people in my life and some very special friendships.

Thank you Keltie-May Nicoll from Leduc City Fire Department for saving the day, that one small act of kindness got me through a really, really crappy day!

was the request for the Tim Horton’s van and some masseuses who were willing to come up and provide some therapeutic massages to firefighters for free.

It appears that the reason for so many things being turned down and so many things about the Mac Island staging area changing in “feel” was due to Task Force 2 moving in, in advance of the Premier’s visit.

I was tired, I was feeling pretty abused and all I wanted was a good night’s sleep.

But that wasn’t to happen.

I asked the guys at AEMA how I was going to get out to the highway to meet Lynda, my ride out and was told that there was nothing they could do to help me.

Feeling defeated, I headed back to the Suncor Centre and the gymnasium that was the gathering place for those eating from the BBQ and ran into a friendly face. Holly from Mobster Towing.

I explained my predicament and she agreed to give me a ride to the Anzac check stop but that is as far as she was allowed to go and we had to go now cause she was on her break. I had left my cooler and Lynda’s big blanket and sleeping bag behind with

46 The Northern Horizon, July 29, 2016

Participants had a real field day at 2016 ... Field Day Following the theme of “demonstrating the value of research at the ranch,” about 120 participants travelled to the Roy Berg Kinsella Research Station on July 20, 2016 for the field day.

Michelle Welsh, a Charolais and Appaloosa horse breeder from Strathmore, AB, provided an overview of her RANGE animal handling philosophy, which stands for Recognize, Area of wellness affected, Need for response, Get into action and E-file documentation, before

providing a demonstration of animal handling with some of the cattle at Kinsella.

An update was provided on the Kinsella Project, which uses a multi-trait selection index based on genomic and pedigree data to demonstrate how selection using genomics can work in practice compared to traditional selection. Participants were also exposed to sessions on beef and biodiversity, the GrowSafe and GreenFeed technologies to monitor feed intake

and greenhouse gas emissions respectively, and introduced to a project examining the effect of implants and beta-agonists on collagen crosslinking in beef.

They are looking for volunteers to participate in a beef genomic prediction trial to improve the accuracy of genomic prediction for a number of traits. Producers wishing to participate will receive a discounted rate on the cost of 50K genotyping and receive predicted mo-

lecular breeding values on the identified traits.

If you would like more information or to participate, general questions can be directed to Darren Bruhjell at darren.bruhjell@agr.gc.ca; scientific questions to Changxi Li at changxi. li@ualberta.ca; and for details on sending samples and genotyping contact Mike Vinsky at michael.vinsky@ualberta.ca.

48 The Northern Horizon, July 29, 2016

In about 1950 a Dominion land surveyor arrived for work

by Orville Hingley In about 1950 Knox McCusker, a Dominion land surveyor, started from the 21st Baseline (which was done in the 1920’s) to survey Township 81, Range 12 (now part of Cotillion). From there they gradually worked east to the Fourth Creek area.

With him were two young surveyors, C.T. Cuff (an army engineer) and Bjorn Rustad. Bjorn was a tall Scadinavian with a red beard. He and I went on a lot of trips looking for water that ended up in a waterhole in Fort St. John. He presently lives in Peace River, but winters in Florida.

Jackie Lowe remembers working the summer before I started. There was also Bill Dick and Dave Knowles from Bonanza.

From Fort St. John, there was Bobby Bremmer, Frank Shyman and Toby Strand. Doug Creer, from Grande Prairie, ran a D^ cat. Jackie did mounding, but once a week made a trip to Bird’s Store at Blueberry Mountain with his dad’s two-ton KB5 International grain truck for groceries and fuel.

There was a picnic and dance in Bonanza one weekend, so Jackie and Bill Dick decided to come out. They were up in Silver Valley at the time. I guess that was quite a trip. They walked for about four or five hours across country, drinking buggy water

out of pot-holes on the way. Anyway, Jackie made a trip to Dawson Creek so the rest of the crew had something more enjoyable to drink by the time they came out.

During the summer holidays of 1952, I started work with them as a rear chainer. This was just east of the Sneddon. While I was in school, I worked holidays and summers. After graduation in 1953, I was with them steadier. The crew at this time was from all over. From Fort St. John were Joe Ferguson, a teamster; Gilbert Bourassa and his grey team; Charlie and Rose Beatton who were cook and helper, and Tom Holman who was a front chainer. From Bonanza were Emmett Iverson who ran levels, and Bill Dick who was a front chainer. From Spirit River was Charlie Herald, a picket man. Pop (Alex) Morrison and his sons, Don and Percy, were mounders from Clairmont. Bill Davis from Grande Prairie ran Gordon Moore’s cat. Allan Webber from Toronto replaced C.T. Cuff as instrument man. Ben Calliou and his team came from Hinton, as did his son Jerry, a picket man.

One of the jobs McCusker taught me, that I really liked doing, was star shots. This was to get exact locations. Two of us would go out, one to read the notes, the other to read the instrument. It had to be exactly on.

We only had a few seconds pr we would have to wait hours.

This couldn’t be done on a hazy night, so sometimes we had to wait even a couple of weeks.

Up in Silver Valley, Tom Holman and I set a record; I don’t know if it has ever been broken. It was for chaining and checkchaining the longest distance in one day. At the same time, Bjorn got the record for the most accurately surveyed township.

Ben Calliou had been a teamster on the original survey in Bonanza in 1929. About 1954, McCusker started thinking about Ben’s age. It turned out he was already in his late seventies. The old Age Pension would only give him back-pay for about five years or so but he was happy. He quit work in the fall and found himself a young girlfriend, but lived only about a year after that.

For the time, life on the survey was good. The work was sometimes hard and monotonous, especially for the mounders, but the wages, for one thing, made up for it. I really enjoyed the evening campfires and the story telling. The teamsters were extra good at that. We always had good food and lots of it but water for ourselves and the horses was a big problem. We tried to camp by creeks, but sometimes we had to dig holes in the muskeg. That was ‘interesting’ drinking. The teamsters carried cream cans of water out of the lines and they always made tea for us. Gilbert used to boil the water in a pail and then throw the loose tea leaves over his shoulder, into the water.

The Northern Horizon, July 29, 2016

Dominion land surveyor, cont.

Continued from previous page.

The mosquitoes were another problem. We always had a smudge for the horses in camp.

Sometimes, if the little devils were really bad, the teamsters carried a smudge in a pail on the wagon tongue! Once, I sent the chaining book into Edmonton; word came back that the notes were good but don’t send the dead mosquitoes next time.

In February 1955 I received a letter from K.M. McCusker asking if I’d like to go chaining for him. We were to “traverse the Peace River in Township 83, Ranges 10 and 9 and bring the lines that cross the river, to and over the ice.” Before I got going, I got word he was in the hospital. He had a crew camped near Many Islands. McCusker, who was elderly, had pneumonia. The crew took him out, but he died. That ended the work that winter. The next summer Bjorn Rustad, who had been McCusker’s assistant, became party chief. I think we were mostly up in Bear Canyon and Cherry Point that summer. Leonard Morrison used to drive Jack Bird’s truck and help haul us back and forth sometimes. We also had a Dodge Power Wagon.

The winter of 1955-56 we camped on an island and traversed the Peace River from Range 13 to Many Islands. Enez Gardiner from Fort Nelson and a poet from Montney each had a dog team. They hauled us around and brought our groceries from Julius Van Horn’s at Bear Canyon. The teams were seven and nine dogs.

Enez’s team were mostly black and three quarters or more wolf. Harnessing them was a challenge. We hooked a stick in the collar of the harness and put it over their heads. This stick

would unhook the tether chain. One dog was especially difficult. One guy would tease him to the end of his tether and the other guy would put the harness on; once the harness was on, he was okay. It was all a person could do to lead one dog. Most of them weighed close to 200 pounds. They pulled on short lines attached to the main line. Mostly the leader made them fan out on their lines, but going down the banks they’d get behind each other and go like hell.

The summer of 1956 I had Dwayne Frostad as a picket man. He said he was sixteen but I’ve always wondered. It didn’t matter anyway; he was as good a man as any of them. Most nights he helped me carry the transit home. We had a light one and a heavy one, but Bjorn usually got the light one. People in the Valley were pretty hard-up then and we were told to hire everybody we could. We had Donnie Seekins and Bob Schallhorn cutting lines. Hans Van Norel chained, and Hank and Casey Van Rootselaar cut lines and mounded for a couple of years. A seismic crew had come through and gone down about six miles of our line. They destroyed our mounds, etc. That cost them a few bucks.

The last I worked on the survey was tying in some lines near where the Pouce goes into the Peace River. I remember driving the guys home to Silver Valley for winter clothes, so we could finish. One guy had a big, heavy homemade moose hide jacket. By the time we were finished, in early December, it was about -30° F; a nice ending!
