Alberta families who have farmed or ranched the same land for 100 years or more are being recognized through the Government of Alberta’s Century Farm and Ranch Awards.

“Our province’s farm families are the heart of rural Alberta and the ongoing success of the agriculture sector depends greatly on their hard work and commitment. It is an honour to recognize families who have contributed so much to their communities and built a tremendous legacy through many generations.”

- Oneil Carlier, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry “It has been very interesting to watch how agriculture has changed over the past century: in technology, machinery, and methods of farming. Our dream is that the family farm will continue to be cultivated and nourished by our family for many generations to come. Our roots and family values are embedded in this land.”

- Hickel Family of Hanna, award recipients Recipients of the Century Farm and Ranch Award receive a bronze plaque to commemorate this significant milestone. A total of 58 families are being recognized

across the province this year, including 13 families who were honoured in Red Deer on July 16.

Since 1993, more than 1,500 families have received Century Farm and Ranch Awards.

Agriculture is the province’s largest renewable industry, with exports valued at more than $9 billion annually.

There are more than 43,000 farms totaling 50.5 million acres.

Alberta Century Farm and Ranch Award recipients recognized at this event: Goddard Family of Rumsey Hickel Family of Hanna Moseson Family of Wetaskiwin Rodgers Family of Rocky Mountain House Bystrom/Lohrenz Family of Centerville District Campion Family of Hanna Petrussa Family of Big Valley Hoar Family of Innisfail Gano Family of Cremona Cire Family of Ponoka Weaver Family of Wetaskiwin Van Petten Family of Kelsey Blades Family of Camrose

Farmers once again have the opportunity to recycle their empty commercial pesticide and fertilizer containers, and to keep them out of landfills.

“CleanFARMS partners with ag-retailers and municipalities to collect empty commercial pesticide and fertilizer containers from farmers across the country,” says Shane Hedderson, operations manager. “Since the program began in 1989, more than 100 million empty containers have been collected.”

Farmers drop off their clean empty containers at the nearest collection site at no charge. The containers are then recycled into valuable materials that can be used back on the farm, such as farm drainage tile. The program operates each growing season.

“Containers 23 litres and smaller are collected through this program,” says Hedderson. “Larger containers, known as drums, totes or shuttles, should be returned to the local ag-retailer or point of sale for proper recycling or disposal. Containers used for home and garden care with the word ‘Domestic’ on their label should be disposed of through an appropriate municipal program.”

When it comes to ensuring containers can be recycled, Hedderson says cleanliness is key.

“Many farmers use a chem handler to properly rinse containers. Pressure and triple rinsing is another way to ensure that containers are clean and all of the product is used up. Also, remove caps and paper booklets as they cannot be recycled through the same recycling process as the containers. The glued-on label, however, can stay on the container.”

For more information on the program, go to www.cleanfarms.ca.

PRIDE Seeds and CANTERRA Seeds have announced a distribution agreement that brings the PRIDE Seeds portfolio of hybrid seed corn and soybean seed to CANTERRA Seeds dealers across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Stephen Denys, vice president of sales and marketing with PRIDE Seeds, says that research into earlier maturing seed corn hybrids and soybean varieties translates to huge acreage growth in these crops across the prairie provinces.

“This agreement furthers our commitment to provide our customers with a full product line, beyond canola and cereals, that now includes seed corn and soybean seed,” says David Hansen, president and CEO of CANTERRA Seeds.

PRIDE Seeds is part of AgReliant Genetics, one of the largest seed businesses in Canada.

This announcement is the third significant one made

by CANTERRA Seeds in the last week, as a joint venture with Limagrain was announced last week in Saskatoon, and a wheat breeding partnership with the Alberta Wheat Commission and Agriculture and AgriFood Canada was announced earlier this week.

bull rider on the 6 The Northern Horizon, July 31, 2015

Byron Hackett

Alaska Highway News

It’s not everyday that a 15-year-old gets to ride in the Calgary Stampede.

With the whole country watching on July 7, that’s exactly what Charlie Lake native Coleman Hunter got to do.

Hunter was invited to ride in the boys steer riding competition at one of the biggest rodeo’s in the world and the rookie bull rider couldn’t believe he was given the opportunity.

He found out on the road to another large rodeo, the National High School

Rodeo Finals in Des Moines, Iowa.

That was two weeks before Calgary, and Hunter said he had a hard time not looking forward to it.

When the time came to ride at the Stampede, he only had two simple goals in mind.

“Hold on and don’t mess up,” the 5-6, 130 pound teenager explained about what he thought going into his ride in front of the sold out crowd at the stampede grounds in Calgary.

Hold on he did, scoring a 67.50 in what he said was a “huge thrill” and in the end put up the top score on the day.

“I think knowing that there were so many people watching, I think that was what motivated me to ride my best,” he said about the 17,000 plus spectators watching from the grandstands in Calgary. “I just hoping I was going to ride, I just wanted to ride that day, I didn’t think I was going to win.”

That score unfortunately wasn’t good enough for Hunter to crack the top six for the final ride on Friday, but the moment he experienced on Tuesday, part of which was his phone blowing up from friends and family texting him about his win, will be something he never forgets.

“Yeah that was awesome,” he said with a smile.

The young steer rider even got to meet one of his idols in the bull riding game, pro J.B. Mauney.

“That was pretty cool because I’ve watched him ride lots and I’ve watched lots of video on YouTube and watched the PBR [Profession Bull Riders] a few times,” Hunter said.

Perhaps even more remarkable is that Hunter has basically only been riding bulls and steers for the last year.

After a chute dodging clinic late in the B.C. High School Rodeo Association season last year Hunter was hooked and steer riding became as natural as riding a bike for the then 14-year-old.

“That feeling when you get into the chute,” he said about what has kept him coming back to steer riding early in his career. “[In lacrosse] When you score a goal or when you’re running to score a goal, you can just feel this – I can do anything [feeling]… and in bull riding it’s the same thing, you are ready to conquer this bull and you’re just focused.”

Last August was when things really started taking off for him, after he spent

Coleman Hunter got the thrill of the lifetime on July 7 steer riding at the Calgary Stampede four days riding with bull riding legend Daryl Mills in Stettler, Alberta.

“They did a little bit of a clinic but they pretty much just ran bulls through and you ride and they would tell you what you were doing wrong and you get on the next one and try and fix that,” Hunter said while adding that he felt the experience really helped him grow as a bull rider.

Hunter then tore it up on the BCHSRA circuit this season, winning the majority of the events he entered including the provin-

cial championship in Hudson’s Hope. He called that ride and the one in Calgary the best of his young career.

He only recently returned from Des Moines, Iowa where he competed nationally, and will once again try and measure himself against the best this weekend in Nanton, Alberta at the Canadian High School Rodeo Finals. Hunter

was pretty clear about his goal in Nanton.

“Pretty much be the best,” he said calmly and confidently. “Be a Canadian B.C. Champion, because I’m the only one riding for B.C. It’s cool that I’m the only one riding for B.C. at Canadians.” sports@ahnfsj.ca

I am sure some of you will recognize me. I have been organizing and Tour Directing bus tours from G.P. for the past 15 years with Mar-Mar Coach Tours, Bezanson’s Golden Years Club and The Debolt Senior’s Centre.

We have travelled to Edmonton, Fort McMurray, MacKenzie, The Passion Play in Drumheller, Waterton Lakes, The Calgary Stampede, Victoria by Via Rail, 3 Valley Gap, The Accordian Festival in Kimberley, The Norsk Hostfest in Minot N.D., flown to Nashville Tennessee and more over the years.

I have to say I have loved every minute of it, as I am sure most all of my travellers will attest to. I believe I have even more fun than anyone on the bus!

Recently I have formed the Diamonds Travel Club. Memberships are only $25 a year and as a member, you receive a $75 discount off the first tour you take as a member, and $50 off of all future tours. Lots of other membership benefits are available as well.

My goal is not only to make the club affordable but to also assist travellers without partners to be able to travel too. Members may draw from our membership list to find a compatible traveller to share with. Accommodations are so much more economical when shared.

I would like to invite all past travellers and welcome all adults interested in future travel who would like updates on future destinations, to phone Dawn @ 780-9572478 to get added to our mailing / email list.

I look forward to seeing my past travelling friends and meeting new ones as we ‘hit the road’ to exciting adventures.

Rabobank upped their forecasts for corn and soybean prices, but at $4 and $9.60 by the end of 2015, these prices are still below the current prices on the futures board for the end of the year (harvest sales pressure anyone?). Speaking of forecasts, the Canadian Wheat Board wrapped up their annual Western Canada crop tour and it spoke a little bit to what things are actually looking like in the Prairies.

It was no surprise that better numbers were found out east in Manitoba, while the worst stuff was in droughtriddled Alberta counties where some wheat yields are expected to be realized around 25 bu/ac!

Total wheat production was pegged by the CWB at 23.1 million tonnes (down 21 per cent from 2014), including 4.2 million tonnes of durum, whereas canola production was pegged at 12.5 million tonnes, down 19 per cent year-over-year. From a comparative standpoint, the C.W.B.’s forecasts are on the low-end from most analysts, but keep in mind that most other analysts didn’t cover 3,100 miles to do their analysis. Here at FarmLead, we definitely haven’t driven that many miles but we’re looking right now at 25.5 million total wheat, 4.6 million tonnes of durum, and 12.8 million tonnes of canola production. One firm that’s way off the market right now is the Government of Canada, as A.A.F.C barely changed any of their output estimates earlier in the week, pegging total wheat production at 27.1 million tonnes (the U.S.D.A. is at 27.5 million) and durum output at 5.2 million tonnes. As for canola, Ag Canada left canola output completely unchanged at 14.3 million tonnes.

However, the ministry did drop its forecast for canola exports to 7.6 million tonnes, a drop of more than 17 per cent from last year and the smallest export demand number in three years! Readily available export supplies on the west coast will likely be challenged this year because of Alberta producing a smaller crop and they’re the lowest hanging fruit for west coast exporters.

Conversely, canola crushers should have plenty of supply to work through, but all this equals the A.A.F.C.’s forecast for 2015/16 canola ending stocks to fall to a “very tight” 500,000 tonnes. In all likelihood, that number could drop to below 400,000 tonnes when A.A.F.C. eventually realizes they’ll have to downgrade things.

The market has ticked up to where it thinks the equilibrium is between supply and demand, and while we can’t discount lower Canadian production, supply elsewhere remains pretty good which will cap price increases and/or lead to more substitution effects. For example, should we expect higher canola prices? In the short-term no, but moving into winter months, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a high $12/bu number on the futures board, but without a big rally in the rest of the oilseed market (namely soybeans), anything above $13.25-$13.50 is likely not in our price 9-month forecast with substitution effects starting to take place. When it comes to cashflow though, looking into 2016 there will be some more sales opportunities but what’s your cash balance look like through the end of the year? It’s worth the time to spend a few hours going over your expected expenses over the next six months – managing the realities of your bottom line should take priority over where you “hope” prices could go.

THE BIG BEND Blueberry Creek Earl & Mary Hoover Family

To begin our life here in Blueberry Mountain I would have to begin in the coal mines of Drumheller.

It was here I was working when a co-worker asked me to drive him to the Peace River country. I was certainly ready to take him and I prepared for the trip. On the morning we were to leave he backed out but I didn’t. His idea became mine and I convinced a friend, Jim Brammer, to go north to look. We left after some deliberation, and travelled through Edmonton, Kinuso, Peace River, Fairview, Spirit River and the end our trail, Blueberry Mountain. The roads were glare ice when we came through that day in October

Extreme Horsemanship Challenge and Clinic with Glenn Stewart In recent years, Extreme Horsemanship competitions and challenges have been growing in popularity. Horsemanship competitions are informative and thrilling to audiences and participants alike, as these events are designed to test the skills of horses and riders as well as celebrate those who have worked hard and invested time and energy to pursue excellence in horsemanship. In Baldonnel, B.C., Glenn Stewart has been hosting what is now deemed, the Extreme Horsemanship Challenge and Clinic at his ranch for the last 15 years. Glenn is well known for his natural horsemanship clinics, demonstrations as well as his competitive appearances in numerous events throughout Canada and the U.S. such as the 2012 Road to the Horse International Competition with fellow Canadian clinician Jonathan Fields and the 2010 Calgary Stampede Extreme Cowboy Champion. Glenn travels and conducts horsemanship clinics across a wide area where he teaches the fundamentals of Natural Horsemanship to a variety of audiences and participants over the last 25 years. An event near Fort St. John, B.C. may seem a little out of the way for a great deal of horse enthusiasts, but a competition that is designed to test the skills of horses and riders and push competitors to pursue excellence is certainly worth the trip. This event has changed over the last 15 years, but what remains the same is Glenn’s dedication to helping riders improve their horsemanship skills and making the competition, “Bigger and better each year.”

Glenn shares that initially, the Extreme Horsemanship Challenge began as a small event where a few riders were invited to compete in what he called a, “Horsemanship Tournament” which consisted of a large course spanning from Glenn’s yard, through the bush and right down to the river. Checkpoints with obstacles were scattered along the way where riders were judged on each task. As the event gradually evolved, it became increasingly important to design a course that could take place within the confines of an arena where a growing audience gathers each year to take part in the fun. Glenn says, “There is always a lot going on over the three days of the event.” For horse enthusiasts, this event contains something for everyone.

In the past, Glenn has performed demonstrations using his own trained horses as well as started a colt over the span of the weekend and provided informative seminars on topics such as saddle fitting and hoof trimming. Other forms of entertainment include evenings around a campfire as well as a Chili Cook-Off where prizes are awarded for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd best chili. Glenn laughs as he shares that there is always great cooking and lots of fun to be had by all who venture out. Contestants and the audience alike often bring campers out and stay for the entire weekend, making for a fun atmosphere of friendly competition and learning about horsemanship.

The featured event of the weekend is the Extreme Horsemanship Challenge, where contestants are timed and judged according to the level of control, finesse, smoothness in transitions and horse handling while completing each task within the allotted time frame. This year’s challenge is set to include two levels of competition, a beginner and an advanced class, but both are scored and timed according to the same standards. Glenn shares that the competition is designed to test all four areas of horsemanship: liberty (where the horse is loose and the rider is on the ground), on a line (where the rider is on the ground with a longe line attached

r001949948

to the horse), freestyle riding (where the horse is ridden without a bridle or on a very loose rein) and concentrated riding (where the rider picks up on the reins and gets a hold of the horse). Glenn says, “All four of these areas are in each competition and are scattered throughout, so you might be doing something on the ground and then have to do something in the saddle at a gallop on a loose rein, manoeuvring through a course and then all of a sudden you have to slow down and do something really precise like a reining or dressage maneuver so there is a real mixture of ranch work, obstacles and so on. I design the course and there will be 13 separate tasks riders have to complete within 30 seconds each, according to a pattern.

The horses have never seen the course and the people have never ridden it, so everything is new to the participants.”

Assuming each contestant completes every task within the allotted time, horses and riders are judged on components of horsemanship such as, “How much control the rider has, are they on the correct lead, posting on the right diagonal, when they pick up the reins does the horse get nice and soft, is the horse relaxed or appear nervous and frazzled… and if the rider handles the horse smoothly… There’s also a speed aspect to this course because you can do almost anything if you go slow enough. The speed element requires the horse to be a lot more broke in order to get through the tasks within the 30 second time limit. The entire course is timed and judged, so you can be the fastest and not win. The judges are looking for finesse, control, unity and want to see that the horse and rider are a nice, pretty team. If there’s high heads, wild eyes and mouths gaping open, that’s not what we’re after.”

This year’s competition and clinic has added another day for those who participate in the clinic, and the event is shaping up to be another success. Glenn says that one of the primary areas that participants are challenged by is the speed component. He shares that, “Lots of people do things very slowly (which is good to begin with), but this is a race, so the horse has to be beyond walking up to a tarp and sniffing it before carrying on with what he is being asked to do.

The horse must be willing to go where he is asked, pick up his feet and be ready to jump or step over anything.” Glenn adds that, “Whenever you add speed, if that’s not how the rider has been operating, riding with the idea that maybe someday the cows are going to get out and he’s going to have to hurry, everything falls to pieces when they get to the competition.”

One of the other challenging aspects of the competition is that no two competitions or course design have been the same. The contestants may have to do jumps, bareback riding, handle a rope, drag something, trailer load and a list of other possibilities. The contestants do what they can and it is all designed to test the depth of horsemanship between horse and rider.

Best wishes to Glenn Stewart, family, staff, competitors and participants for the 2015 Extreme Horsemanship Challenge and Clinic!

The Horse Ranch Extreme Horsemanship Competition is exciting, fun and challenging. Horse and rider test their horsemanship abilities as they manoeuvre through a series of obstacles and tasks demonstrating skill and speed. Glenn Stewart will conduct an educational clinic about the competition, liberty, horse psychology and colt starting. All with his unique twist of capturing the horses mind throughout everything we do.

Join The Horse Ranch for this fun and fast paced threeday educational clinic and competition that gives participants and our community an opportunity to explore this exciting event and expand their horsemanship knowledge.

27 Important Lessons from Older farmers

Poisonous plants #7 in pastures Attention

Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.

white water mark and the flower stem originates from the main stem off the main stalk as separate leaflet stems. Unfortunately most of the clover you see in the peace area is alsike clover.

The most common symptoms that people see and are aware of are the sunburn or “photosensitization”.

Often people think their horses have “scratches” as they get scabs and sores on the backs of their heels.

The scabs are actually a result of sunburn and usually are seen on white feet. Sometimes white faces and noses will scab and peel and in severe cases, we have seen white patches on paints bodies burn and peel.

Unfortunately this is just the surface and what is going on inside your horse as a result of the clover poisoning is much worse. The symptoms are actually a result of liver damage.

It is less common but cattle can be affected by alsike clover as well.

Sweet clover which is often seen growing in our ditches (a tall plant with yellow flowers), can become toxic in the right circumstances. The plant contains a compound called coumarin that can be converted into a toxic substance called dicoumarin when the plants become moldy or are spoiled. The dicoumarin interferes with vitamin K synthesis. The end result of this toxicity is that the animal’s blood doesn’t clot properly. This can result in internal hemorrhaging.

Sometimes blood can be seen in urine, stool, milk or respiratory secretions. Animals can have excessive bleeding as a result of trauma, surgery or during calving.

There are several plants in our pastures that can cause mechanical damage to grazing animals. These include foxtail and thistles. Foxtail can be particularly bad because the awns are barbed and can become lodged in the gums or tongue in animal’s mouths and cause infections. This can result in Woody Tongue or Lump Jaw in cattle. Sores in animal’s mouths can also result in them not wanting to eat and poor performance.

If you have questions about these plants or about other health concerns with your livestock, you can contact one of our veterinarians at the Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic. www.dcvet.ca

Dr. Zoe Ross It is the season when cattle are finally out on pasture and calves are growing. It has been a dry spring in the Peace Country although the recent rains have certainly helped. Along with dry conditions or higher grazing pressure of animals on pasture, comes higher risk of grazing animals eating toxic or poisonous plants. Fortunately there are not high numbers of these plants in our area but there are some that ranchers should be aware of.

Tall Larkspur is one. Tall larkspur has spurred blue flowers that grow on the top third or a single and unbranched stem. It appears similar to delphinium that people grow in their perennial gardens. It usually grows in mountain meadows or on grassy hillsides.

These plants contain toxic alkaloids which can cause neuro-muscular paralysis which leads to respiratory failure, bloat and death in cattle. Affected animals may appear nervous, have a staggery gait, salivate, have muscle twitching, be in respiratory distress or bloat. The toxicity can be difficult to treat and minimizing excitement in affected animals and providing supportive care is important.

Western Water Hemlock is another very poisonous plant. It is found in sloughs and other wet areas in pastures. The root is the most poisonous part of this plant and it is very toxic. It can be easily confused with Cow Parsnip which is not usually toxic. There is an excellent description of these plants on the BC Government website http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/cropprot/whemlock.htm . This plant contains cicutoxin which is a toxin which affects the central nervous system and causes seizures. Animals usually die within 15 minutes to 8 hours after ingestion of the toxin.

Every year we treat horses for alsike clover poisoning. It can be a very serious toxicosis and depending on the amount eaten can lead to the death of a horse. Not every horse on a pasture will be affected as some will selectively eat alsike clover over other forages.

Alsike clover contains a pyrrolizidine alkaloid that causes liver damage. Alsike can have a white, pink or red flower. It can be differentiated from red or white clover as alsike clover leaves do not usually have a

Cattle and Hog Sector Contributions to the Provincial Economy AGRI-NEWS JULY 20, 2015

The Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA) has recently released the results from its commissioned report, Medium-Term Economic Outlook for Alberta’s Cattle and Hog Sectors. Clint Dobson, senior manager, research and policy at ALMA, says the report provides the sectors with a long term perspective on how they can grow.

“It’s a comprehensive report that took into account feedback from multiple stakeholders across the supply chain as well as at global markets to paint a picture of what the markets may look like in 2025,” he says.

Despite challenges each sector faces, their economic outlook looks positive.

“In the past decade the beef industry has faced Country of Origin labelling laws, higher feed costs and overcome BSE. Global production of beef has slowed and export opportunities continue to with strong demands in markets such as China which will remain important factors,” Dobson says. Modest growth of the breeding herd in Alberta is expected over the next years from industry constraints and hesitations on the part of

producers to expand.

Conversely, world hog production is growing slower than it has historically while demand remains strong.

“In Alberta, the sector is still rebuilding from lost equity despite positive margins in 2014,” he says.

Dobson says labour availability was identified as a key challenge to expanding the sectors.

One of the key parts of the study was to understand the economic impact the sectors have on the provincial economy. “What is obvious is how important the cattle and hog sectors are to the provincial economy measured by direct and indirect impacts including sales, service and purchasing trends. The results show that the two industries combined contributed over $7 billion in GDP to Alberta’s economy and employs over 96,000 workers. The report projects that those totals will change to $11.5 billion in GDP and employ approximately 155,000 by 2025,” he says.

The full report and executive summary can be found on ALMA’s website.

THANK YOU!

We would like to say a great big THANK YOU to all of the people who we have done business with and gotten to know as friends during our years at Douglas Lake Equipment and Kenver Equipment. Your support has been very much appreciated.

We would also like to extend a very hardy THANK YOU to all the staff, both past and present, which we have had the pleasure to have worked beside throughout the years.

Your hard work and dedication have not only made our job easier, but played a major part in our successes.

We can honestly say that it has been a privilege and a pleasure to know such a great group of people; people we have grown with; people who were gracious enough to have allowed us into their lives as friends.

B.C. cattle ranchers contend with drought and grasshoppers

Jen St. Denis Business in Vancouver Cattle ranchers are facing some hard choices this summer, including the possibility they may have to sell off some of their cattle if drought conditions don’t improve.

“We’re running short of feed now for grazing,” said Kevin Boon, general manager of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association. “It’s affected the amount of hay and forage for winter feed.”

Conditions are particularly bad in the Cariboo Chilcotin region, but dry conditions are also prevalent for ranchers in the Okanagan and East Kootenay, Boon

said.

Added to the pain for farmers, a grasshopper infestation in the Cariboo has also depleted the amount of grass for cattle.

Normally, B.C. cattle producers would buy feed from Alberta or Saskatchewan if hay is scarce, but those provinces have also been hard-hit by the drought and are facing a shortage of feed as well.

“These ranchers will be assessing this as they go forward and make plans.

They’re trying to secure winter feed but in some cases, financially it won’t pencil out and they will sell some cows.”

Selling cattle is something farmers

want to avoid after years of reducing the size of herds, Boon said. That reduction happened because of the measures taken to control bovine spongiform encephalopathy(BSE), also known as mad cow disease, in the mid-2000s. A drought in 2010 also prompted a sell-off.

“We’ve really shrunk the herd over the past five years,” Boon said. “We’re at the point where we should be growing the herd, the economics are there, and

then the drought hit us.”

In response to the drought, the federal government has allowed cattle farmers in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan to defer a portion of their taxable income to next year.

Boon said the deferral was a welcome tool, especially if farmers need to sell their cattle and then buy cattle back next year at a higher price because supply will be lower.

Renovations continue at Vold Jones Vold in Beaverlodge

I stopped in to the Vold Jones Vold auction yard in Beaverlodge on Wednesday, July 15th to have a sneak peek at the state of renovations there.

Manager Don Fessler took me on a tour and this is what he had to show me ...

The first thing you will notice will be the new offices being built on the west side of the main building. There will be three new offices; one for the new general office, one for Don and another for a general meeting/staff room.

The far western side of the auction yard is being remodelled and reconfigured to allow for separation between vehicles dropping off livestock and vehicles picking up livestock. To that end, a new access road is being built, with a concrete side access road running along the building to allow for easy pick up. Large tractor/trailer units will have their own drop-off and pick-up area, easing the congestion after a sale.

Inside the building, there will be a larger penning area for livestock arriving at the auction mart. This area will also include an area set aside for animal inspection and any tagging or branding that may have to be done prior to sale.

Horse pens have been added to a newly configured penning yard. This area, adjacent to the cattle pens, will allow for horses to have their own separate area to feed, move around and be tended to.

The two biggest areas of improvement are in the pens themselves; they have enlarged and reconfigured to allow for better movement of both small numbers of livestock and larger groups of livestock designated for the show alley. There are also a lot more pens on the sale yard. The facility will now be able to house up to 2,000 head of cattle; a major upgrade.

The thing that Don is most proud of is the improvement made to the area directly adjacent to the sale ring. These improvements will allow more cattle to stay under the roof prior to entering the sale ring; decreasing cattle stress and making it much easier on the auction yard staff.

And if you think they’ve changed everything but the kitchen sink, you’d be wrong. Along with everything else, there will be improvements made in the kitchen area, including a second stove.

So circle Thursday, August 13th on your calendar. That’s the day everyone will be able to get a first-hand look at all the renovations and improvements as that is the date the facility reopens.

And yes, that is THURSDAY, August 13th!

See you there!

The two biggest improvements are in the pens

On the open road Motorcycling in Canada A Ride Through Our History - Part1 Throughout the centuries, man has endeavoured to expand his world through the use of machines.

Man’s ever-innovative and inquisitive mind, coupled with his need to find new thrills and adventure, means the development of the motorcycle was inevitable. The early years of motorcycling are fascinating as they offer up some of man’s most bizarre experimental machinery!

Sylvester Howard Roper built the first motorcycle in 1868. It was powered by a steam engine, and was demonstrated at fairs and circuses.

Many modern motorcycle features, including the twist handgrip throttle control, evolved from the innovations on this machine.

By the late 1880s, motorcycle development became influenced by the internal combustion engine that had arrived on the scene.

Hildebrand & Woflmuller developed the first production motorcycle in 1894, and theirs was the first vehicle of its type to use the term “motorcycle”.

In 1901, Royal Enfield revealed its first motorcycle; it came with a 239 cc front-mounted engine and a belt drove the back wheel.

From 1901 on, the burgeoning sport of motorcycle racing fueled innovations at a fast and furious pace and as a result, hundreds of motorcycle companies sprang up around the world.

Even Canadians got into the act of producing motorcycles.

The CCM (Canadian Cycle & Motor Company) produced the Lightweight Motor Cycle from 1908 to 1911, there are only three known left to be in existence and one of them is at the Deeley Motorcycle Exhibition in Vancouver.

In 1912, Toronto’s Mercer Street was home to the Hendee Mfg. Co production plant. (In 1928, Hendee Mfg. Co. became known as Indian) During the First World War, motorcycles began to replace horses on the battlefield. Dispatch riders carried communications pouches and performed reconnaissance missions.

Triumph Motorcycles provided the allies with over 30,000 of its newly created Type-H bikes in World War I. Dubbed by many as the first “modern” motorcycle, the

Model H by Triumph was the first motorcycle to be produced without pedals.

By 1920, Harley-Davidson had become the largest manufacturer of motorcycles with dealers in 67 countries, although it lost that spot for a number of years to German owned DKW in early 1930.

After World War II, as part of the reparations for the war, Harley-Davidson in the US, BSA in the UK and MMZ in Soviet Union were given the plans for the DKW RT125.

In the US the motorcycle became known as the Hummer, in the UK as the BSA Bantam and in Soviet Union as the M-1A Moskva.

Although many manufacturers in the US had sprung up to build and sell motorcycles, by 1931, only Harley-Davidson and Indian were still standing.

From 1931 until Indian closed its factory in Springfield Mass., and Royal Enfield took over the name in 1953, Harley-Davidson and Indian were fierce competitors.

Here is a short list of some of the oldest American motorcycle marques: • • • • • • • • •

Indian (1901-1953) Pierce Arrow (1901-1913) Curtiss (1902–1910) Harley –Davidson (1903-present day) Excelsior (1907-1931) Iver Johnson (1907-1916) Henderson (1911-1931) Ace (1920-27) Crocker (1936-1941)

The early 1900’s were an exciting time for the fledgling motorcycle community in Canada and Harley-Davidson Motorcycles played a huge role in that excitement and the growth of motorcycling as a sport and a pass time.

In 1907, Vancouver BC became home to the very first gas station in Canada; it was an Imperial Oil station. This would prove to play a significant role in the growth of motorcycling in Canada, and BC in particular, as the lower mainland of BC and Vancouver Island became hot beds for the sport.

• In 1912, the Victoria Motorcycle Club became one of the first motorcycle clubs in Canada.

• In 1913, Fred Deeley Sr. moved to Vancouver from Bromgsgrove England. In 1914 he opened a bicycle shop. He began importing BSA (Birmingham Small Arms Co) motorcycles.

• In 1917 he began importing the Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It was around 1922 when the bicycle and motorcycle portions of the Deeley business became separate entities.

• Fred Deeley Jr. founded the Lions Gate Motorcycle Club in 1922 and took over operations of the motorcycle division of Fred Deeley Motorcycles in 1925. Today the Lion’s Gate Motorcycle Club is known as the Greater Vancouver Motorcycle Club.

• In 1935, 15-year-old Trev Deeley joins his father’s business as an apprentice mechanic.

• In 1953, he takes over the business. Today, Trev Deeley Motorcycles is the fourth oldest Harley-Davidson dealer in the world.

Without a doubt, motorcycling in Canada would not have evolved into what it has today if it had not been for the Deeley’s, Fred Sr., Fred Jr. and Trev.

Some historical tidbits on the expansion of motorcycling in Canada: • 1919, the first retail dealership in Alberta opens up in Edmonton • 1936, Prairie Harley-Davidson opened up in Regina Saskatchewan under the helm of Grant Budd.

• 1945, London Ontario becomes home to a HarleyDavidson dealership thanks to Percy Poole.

• 1949 Laurent B. Groulx opened Pont-Viau Motorcyclettes in Ville de Laval, Quebec, Quebec’s first HarleyDavidson dealership.

• 1969 was a year that would change many things in the Canadian Motorcycle Community. It was the year that Honda Motorcycles officially entered the Canadian market!

• 1973, both Yamaha Motors Canada and Suzuki Canada are founded.

• 1973 is also the year that Deeley Harley-Davidson became the official importer and distributor of HarleyDavidson motorcycles in Canada I hope you enjoyed this little history lesson.
