Farm pesticides dating back 30 years collected by non-profit organization B.C. farmers turned in more than 19,000 kilograms of unwanted pesticides and livestock medications during an October collection campaign run by CleanFARMS. METRO PHOTO

The Province

B.C. farmers turned in more than 19,000 kilograms of unwanted pesticides and livestock medications during an October collection campaign run by CleanFARMS. The program, which targeted farmers in the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island regions, is run by a not-for-proﬁt group made up of pesticide manufacturers and distributors. Many of the collected products dated back 30 years or more to the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, said Russel Hurst, director of obsolete collections for CleanFARMS. “We don’t see a whole lot of new products,” he said. The program is free for farmers and targets different areas of the province at different times, with a schedule that aims to collect pesticides every three years in each region. CleanFARMS collects the materials and hires a waste management company to dispose of them through high-temperature incineration. Since the program begin in 1999, about 270,000 kilograms of pesticides have been collected in B.C., said Hurst. Much of it comes from retiring farmers and those changing crops, and some products have been rendered obsolete or illegal by changing regulations.

The average age of products received this year was about 20 or 30 years old. “Farmers want to do the right thing and responsibly manage the waste on their farms,” said B.C. Agricultural Council chair Stan Vander Waal. “This program really allows them to do this.” For the ﬁrst time, the program also allowed livestock farmers to turn in unused livestock medications. The October collection resulted in 156 kilograms of medication. Hurst said the medication collection ﬁt well with the pesticide collection because the two are disposed of in a similar manner. CleanFARMS recommends farmers label and store their unwanted pesticides and medications until the program visits their area. In the fall of 2015, the program will target farmers in the Okanagan Valley, Kootenay Valley and Interior regions. Pesticide use in agriculture is not without controversy, as evidenced by the growing organic movement. Hurst said pesticides remain an important tool for growers to manage pests, enhance yields and improve the quality of crops. According to pesticide manufacturers, Canadian families save 58 per cent on their weekly grocery bills due to modern crop protection and plant biotechnology tools.

The first American Idol and the most famous Jonas brother are coming to DawsonCreek. On Monday, the Encana Events Centre announced that Kelly Clarkson would be coming to town on Oct. 15. Joining her on the trip will be Nick Jonas and pop artist Tyler Shaw. So far, it is the only “small market” venue announced for Clarkson. Other tour dates include Toronto, Montreal and Calgary. “We’re so privileged to have such a great, amazing, international act, not only with Kelly, but with Nick Jonas and Tyler Shaw,” said Ryan MacIvor, the Encana Events Centre’s general manager. “We’re not part of a secondary tour, or tertiary tour … we’re on center stage with all the big acts, and others in terms of being on the A-list market. We’re very fortunate and pleased.” Clarkson began her climb to fame as the winner of the first season of American Idol, and is arguably its most famous winner. Since her career began in 2002, she has won three Grammy awards and has sold over 20 million albums worldwide. Jonas started his career singing on Broadway at age seven, and in 2005, barely a teenager, he formed The Jonas Brothers — with his brothers Kevin and Joe — which went on to sell 17 million records. In 2010, at the age when most kids are graduating high school, he left the band to pursue a solo career. Jonas briefly reunited with his brothers in 2012, but since then he’s performed solo. Clarkson is promoting her new album “Piece by Piece.” reporter@ahnfsj.ca

More chatter about new crop acres continues help the grain market trade sideways as we moved towards the second half of March. Analysts are mostly focused on acreage estimates and weather forecasts for the northern hemisphere. While the NCAA Final Four Basketball tournament has started, the March Madness seen in the grains market will likely be a result of traders jumping on any headline or weather report that has to do with adverse planting conditions. There’s growing concern that parts of Oklahoma & Texas could see a big wheat rust problem with both stripe and leaf rust being observed. One specialist made the point that when stripe rust is observed before March (in the area), a large stripe rust epidemic is likely for the Southern Great Plains. The good news is that weather conditions for an exponential growth and spread of the disease have been minimal. Staying in the U.S., there’s chatter that U.S. producers will cut back on their purchase and application of pricey fertilizers this year. Intuitively, this would help lower fertilizer prices (would expect some easing as demand falls) but we might see an average corn yield below trendline (which, conversely, would help support corn prices). Keep in mind that Purdue University estimates that it’ll cost about $446 US/acre to grow corn this year (on average soil), compared to just $228 US/acre for soybeans. If you think crop input costs are high here, then consider the Black Sea where currency devaluations have made said costs about 30 per cent higher year-over-year! For this reason, I’m expecting less production that most analysts are calling for in the region. This is mind, the Russian Hydrometcentre (weather forecaster) is saying that Russian wheat winter crops are in worse conditions than they were last year but matches average characteristics from the last five years. We’ll likely get a Russian Ag Ministry official winterkill rate soon but analytical firm SovEcon is expecting the number to be around 11-12 per cent. Next door in Ukraine, the Ag Ministry says that spring seeded acres is less than half of what was a year ago at this time (AKA behind schedule). If you follow any American farmers on Twitter, you know that U.S. producers are hitting the fields already in the Midwest. While wet weather has slowed seeding progress in the Southeast (not a single acre of rice or corn planted in Louisiana), it’s go time in the eastern & western corn belts and even some guys in the Northern Plains are ripping up dirt already! This in mind, the most recent National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration outlook report says that things will continue to stay dry out on the U.S. west coast in 2015, with some of this arid weather possibly heading east into the Northern Plains and even western Great Lakes area (Some of this drier weather would be welcomed by areas of Eastern Saskatchewan & western Manitoba). What’s for sure is that we’re seeing an early snow melt this March (albeit some areas are still getting a little snowfall here & there). Seeing the black stuff re-appear after a winter is given us the itch to get out there and turn that dirt over. Don’t go mad just yet though – spend some time in the shop and get everything ready to go. Proactiveness pays.

Resident hunters refuse to back down MIKE CARTER STAFF REPORTER Resident hunters feel they must continue to fight an increase in the number of animals non-resident trophy hunters are allowed to hunt in British Columbia. But the B.C. government says no further changes to the policy are forthcoming. Andrew Weaver, the MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, submitted a petition with over 16,000 signatures from B.C. resident hunters to the members of the legislative assembly March 2 on behalf of the B.C. Wildlife Federation (BCWF). That same day, resident hunters hosted a rally against the government’s wildlife allocation changes on the legislature's lawn. Signatories of the petition argue that the government must rescind its decision to increase the allowable number of animals harvested by non-resident hunters. “This petition represents a significant block of voters who are extremely unhappy with the recent changes to the province's Wildlife Allocation Policy, which gave a larger share of Limited-Entry Hunting permits to guide outfitting businesses at the expense of resident hunters,” said Al Martin, director of strategic initiatives for the BCWF.

happening. “Now that a decision is made, I am hopeful that resident hunters and the guide-outfitter community can work together with government,” he said. For Clark, it’s a matter of keeping the province’s resources in the hands of the people that live here. “It’s privatizing hunting and making it for people [that] come from out of province getting precedence over residents,” he said. “A lot of us that do hunt here want stuff for the freezer. These out-of-country people want their trophy. It puts money in the government coffers because of the fees for being an out of province hunter, but it doesn’t put money into economy.” dcreporter@dcdn.ca

BCWF wants government to repeal the changes and impose a quota for non-resident hunters and guide-outfitters to a maximum of 10 per cent of the wildlife harvest for moose and elk, and 25 per cent for sheep, bears, and goats.

proportionate amount — up to 40 per cent — of valuable species like mountain sheep, mountain goats, grizzly bears, moose, elk, caribou and bison are allocated for non-resident hunters. “We don’t think this is an appropriate reflection of resident priority or the recognition of how much resident hunters contribute to the local economy through expenditures on vehicles, a variety of equipment, and services,” Martin said. The BCWF wants the government to repeal the changes. It wants a limit imposed for non-resident hunters and guide-outfitters to a maximum of 10 per cent of the wildlife allocation harvest for moose and elk, and 25 per cent for sheep, bears, and goats. 9:25 AM Page 1 SEC-REDW14-T_NH.qxd 3/6/15 Thomson says this won’t be

What impact the allocation changes would have on local economies has been a concern for the BCWF, who have led the charge against the changes that have been put into place by the B.C. government. According to the BCWF, resident hunters spend over $230 million a year in local communities on hunting-related activities and contribute $9 million a year towards conservation work through license fees. The federation argues that guide-outfitters give little to local economies, but the government estimates that figure to be $120 million. Lyman Clark, a gunsmith for Rocky Mountain Rifles (RMR) in Dawson Creek, fears that if more non-resident hunters gain access to more animals in the province, local businesses like RMR could be the first to lose out. Clark represented the Dawson Creek Sportsman's Club at the March 2 rally in Victoria. “The guys [guide-outfitters bring in] might buy a beer or a magazine in an airport, but they are picked up by the guide-outfitter and taken right out to camp," Clark said. "A lot of the guide-outfitters are owned [by interests] outside of the country, or outside of the province, and that’s exactly where the profits go.” Despite the continuing protest, Steve Thomson, Minister of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations — the minister responsible for the changes — maintains that the new allocation is fair for all hunters, and that he has no plans to make any further compromise. “Many of the popular big-game species are not affected at all,” Thomson said, “including mule deer, white-tailed deer, most Rocky Mountain elk populations and black bear. That said, I am sensitive to concerns of resident hunters." Hunter Al Martin has a different take. He says a dis-

Chris Cushway: Man of the land combines art with the outdoors Baldonnel is a small community just east of Fort St. John. There’s a cluster of houses with some horses around, and the biggest building is the school. One of the residents is Chris Cushway, an antlercarver who lives there with his wife and daughter. Cushways have lived in Baldonnel for almost a hundred years, since Samuel Cushway first homesteaded there in 1919. Chris has lived there all his life, with land being passed down through the generations. He and his wife keep 14 large, quiet, strong horses, good for mountain riding, and Cushway has a passion for the outdoors. “We ride around up in the hills looking for antlers,” said Cushway. “We do quite a bit of hunting.” The horns that he does carve aren’t from any of his own kills, he uses only cast off antlers, those that aren’t considered wildlife. He’s always been fascinated with antlers, even from a young age he would collect the antlers he would find and keep them, initially making knife handles, but the hobby escalated. A look around his living room gives a good snapshot of Cushway’s interests: antler and wood carving, mounted game heads, and an oil paining in progress, his first. “The thing I like about it is, I get to go out there and do what I love to do,” he said. “I love picking up antlers. I love going out and spending the time riding around looking for horns. It’s just trying to figure out what to do with them when you’ve got them,” he laughed. “There’s

no rhyme or reason to where they drop them.” Although he has a few hidden spots that he visits regularly to find horns, he said that most of it is simply putting the time in looking for it, and a heavy dose of luck. “I’d like to tell you that it’s easy, [but] no, it’s luck,” he said. “There’s places you can go to increase your luck. If you go up into the mountains to the bare hillsides you can set up with a spotting scope and a pair of binoculars and you can actually see the elk horns laying on the side of the hill sometimes.” Having said that, he said as much as he might plot the path to take to collect them, he can still completely miss PHOTO BY DAVID DYCK Chris Cushway in his shop, with birdhouses he taught local kids to them. construct below and a large antler collection hanging above. Cushway has stories of spotting one antler and, knowing there is likely another To Cushway, it’s a way of life that he’s seen in other one nearby, spending a large amount of time trying to people as well. He was at a farmer’s market last summer find it. One time he had completely given up, and spotwhen he spotted an artisan who made furniture out of ted it shortly after a few yards away. Another time he spotted what he thought was the matching antler, only to driftwood, and said he could spot the same kind of passion in her work. discover much later they were from two different sets. “I said to her, ‘I can tell that you enjoy walking The kind of horses he takes with him are important, around, picking up driftwood, it’s the time that you too.

He said he said. that if he had his way he wouldn’t sell any of them, but he doesn’t have the space. One of his recent pieces that he didn’t want to part with he gave to his wife for Christmas. The inspiration for the images he carves comes from various sources, mostly having to do with images he’s seen himself. One is a standoff between a moose and a wolf, the moose in the water, with the wolf eyeing him from the shore. Another is a giant moose that he saw when he was out hunting with his father years ago. He told the story of how he hunted this moose for three days, the biggest he had ever seen, surrounded by 19 cows, but Cushway said he couldn’t decide if he wanted to kill it. Part of that indecision came from the idea that this wasn’t the trophy he wanted. “If I’m out here hunting for meat, I’ll shoot any moose that’s legal. But when you’re back there looking for a set of horns for a trophy, he’d better be what you want.” Cushway explained. “If he isn’t exactly what you want, why are you shooting him?” It’s a more conscientious way than some people look at trophy hunting, a kind of thoughtfulness that comes through in his art. “It’s not about killing something,” he said, explaining that there should be a lot of consideration behind it. He has an idea of what that perfect trophy will look like, but he still hasn’t found it yet, nearly twenty years later. peacereporter@ahnfsj.ca

B.C.’s beekeepers concerned over potential havoc to hives from large-scale pesticide use Glenda Luymes The Province

Friday’s panel was designed to allow beekeepers to learn about pesticide use in crops, as well as the Ontario situation. “We want to keep a happy relationship with growers,” she said, noting that in Ontario there have been tensions between farmers and beekeepers. “We want to show the growers that we’re on side, and we want to work together on this.” B.C. bees produce about two million pounds of honey each year, while also playing a vital role in agriculture. Pollination services account for about $200 million in farm production, largely in B.C.’s blueberry, cranberry and tree fruit sectors. Culley said farmers seem eager to work with beekeepers to prevent local problems. It is unclear how B.C. bees fared this winter. Any benefit from the unseasonably warm weather could be knocked out if a sudden cold spell makes it hard for bees to find food. “We can’t do a real count until May,” said Culley, although she admitted early anecdotal evidence suggests the bees may have had a better winter than last year.

B.C. beekeepers met in Kamloops to learn about the impacts of pesticide use on bee colonies. A special panel discussion Friday at the B.C. Honey Producers’ Association convention focused on pesticide-linked honey bee deaths in Ontario and ways to prevent local losses. “Although large-scale pesticide-honey bee problems have not been evident in B.C. so far, the recent developments in Ontario agriculture give a Canadian perspective on potential repercussions if it were to happen here,” said BCHPA president Catherine Culley. While B.C. bees have typically fared better than their eastern cousins — Ontario overwinter losses were estimated at 58 per cent last year — some parts of the province saw losses of 32 per cent in 2013. Culley said colony collapse is a complex problem that is likely caused by a variety of factors. Routine pesticide use on crops is believed to be a contributing factor.

Take Pride In Your Work

We have all heard the saying “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well”. I agree and I believe that when it comes to working with the horse, it is even more important. Doing things well is a challenge and is something a person can take great pride in if their horse or horses want to be with them. When I say that a horse wants to be with them I mean that the horse likes to be with them not because of the food they bring or the brushing or scratching they get. All horses like getting fed oats, crunchies, hay, whatever, or getting brushed and scratched but that doesn’t mean they like us. The real test is can you ask something from your horse and they still want to be with you without all the goodies. The more a person asks of their horse the easier it is to see if the horse really likes or wants to be with their handler. For example, if you went to work each day and the boss met you at the door with some snacks followed by a nice massage and said you could leave when you wanted or maybe straighten some papers for an hour or so and text a few people then it would be pretty easy to show up for that job. But if you had a boss that wanted you to work when you’re at work, some days with sweat dripping off your nose if needed, then those are two very different environments. Just because a horse shows up at the gate when we arrive doesn’t mean they like us or want to be with us. However, if you spent time with your horse the day before where you really had a learning, productive and, usually, challenging day and they meet you at the gate then that is one good sign the horse is liking you. There are two things that horses love beyond anything. They trump oats, crunchies or any other horse

r001949948

treat. Those two things are feel and timing. If we read and understand the horse correctly, we can offer the correct feel and timing with practice. Horses feel safe and understood, they understand us and what we want if we can learn the proper feel and timing. Everything becomes clear and comfortable for them. They know what is expected and it feels right. Some things I look for to know if I’m getting it right and if I can take pride in my work would be if they meet me at the gate or, at least, allow me to walk out in the ﬁeld with my halter in plain view and let me put it on. Better yet, if I can lead them back by the mane and, even better than that, if I can ask them to come back to the barn without a hand or rope on them. Other signs that I’m on the right track would be when I’m working with a horse and they get to where they wrap their neck around me in what I call a horse hug. Or, you might be stopped, catching a breather and the horse softly, respectfully with its head down, just kind of steps in close and bends their neck around your hip and legs. Their eye will be soft. Then, when it’s time to get back to whatever you’re doing, the horse does it with ears forward with an eye that is alert and attentive. The request you ask for is done with a positive “yes! Rightaway” response. They should look alive, interested and learning. These responses are things a person could take pride in developing. The opposite of this would be a horse that is slow and dull to follow a request. Another example would be if you have to hide your halter and bring oats to catch a horse, or if they see you and head for the far end of the pasture, then something is not right. A sign that things need to change is when they pin their ears or ﬂash their tail around you or when you ask them to do something. Another sign that things need to change is a horse that whinnies always looking somewhere else. When you are standing there, they look away from you. If a person reaches to touch the horse’s head, they move their head away instead of towards you. If they push into us with any part of their body, then these are all things I could not take pride in. If any or all of these things are happening during the time you spend with a horse, or it gets worse after a session, then it can be changed with understanding the horse and learning to have great feel and timing. If I can spend time with a horse and know that the horse was with me and not somewhere else; if the horse learnt something or I did; if the time spent was a step forward that both horse and human got something positive from it, then I can

sleep easy and look forward to tomorrow and the challenge of doing things well. I can then take pride in my work. At the end of your day, ask yourself: Did I learn Did the horse learn Was the session or time productive Did the horse enjoy it Does the horse have a soft eye and is responsive to requests Does the horse have its head down and a wrapped neck arced around you in a horse hug Or do you have the opposite: Does he look the other way head high and neck bent away from you and whinnying Does the horse want to come see you or be caught the next day Does the horse pin their ears around you, pushing into you or turning hip towards you, ﬂash their tail when you ask them to do something. Fear, respect, responsive Does your horse like you Everybody wants a horse that likes them is responsive not spooky or dull. Take pride in your work and go to bed feeling good about the time spent.

Abortion in sheep and goats and the risk to human health

Ranch Horse Sale

(from aborted fetuses) can get infected by the bacteria which cause diarrhea and vomiting. Chlamydia: Spread through aborted materials, vaginal discharge, the ram, and environmental contamination. Ewes that abort once will not abort until another 3 years at least. Thus, these sheep can maintain an infection in a herd. The ﬁrst year a few abortions occur; however, the following year up to 30% may abort. Typically decrease in subsequent years to remain around 10 to 15%. Chlamydiosis can be transmitted to humans, so pregnant women can become infected and abort their pregnancy. Coxiellosis: Can survive in a dried state for many years. Contracted by inhalation of contaminated air or dust and through contact with aborted materials, vaginal discharge, possibly semen from infected males, and can be shed in milk, colostrum, and fecal material. Abortion rates vary between 5 and 35% in herds. In humans, this is disease is known as Q-fever. Humans can develop pneumonia, severe fever, liver disease, severe myalgia, and endocarditis. People can become infected through contact (via inhalation or handling of contaminated materials). Toxoplasmosis: Cats and mice can become infected, and can excrete toxoplasmosis oocysts (eggs) when stressed. Sheep become infected through eating food contaminated with fecal material. Abortions result when the ewe is infected in early to mid-gestation, and abortion rates can range from 5-100%. Human can becoming infected with toxoplasmosis from consuming undercooked meat or through handling of cat fecal material. 30% of humans have antibody titers to this organism. However, the fetus of pregnant, nonimmune women is most at risk. In conclusion handle all abortions with caution. Wear gloves and protective clothing when handling any aborted fetuses and placenta, dispose of aborted materials appropriately away from any in contact sheep and pregnant women should limit contact with pregnant ewes. Sheep and goat producers in Alberta should also be aware that there is funding available for diagnosing causes of abortion in herds through the through the Alberta Sheep Breeder’s Association.

By: Dr. Jenny Soucy Abortions can have significant economic impacts on the profitability of sheep and goat operations. Not only this, but some of the agents that cause these abortions can be very dangerous to human health as well. Early gestational abortion can manifest in different ways. During breeding, sheep might come back into heat. Some of these ewes are getting bred and losing the lamb in the first few weeks of pregnancy. This is usually noticed by a drawn out lambing/kidding season. There may be blood-tinged discharge from the vagina or a fetus or placenta is found. Lambs or kids that are born at term may be stillborn or weak. A rule of thumb to follow: NO MORE THAN 2% of FEMALES in herd should abort per breeding season. There are many different causes of abortion, but nearly 80% are typically due to an infectious agent. This means diagnosing the cause of the abortion is actually easier than in other species. Some of the causes of abortion can be catastrophic for herds; therefore, testing is essential to confirm the root cause, and then pursue treatment or prevent it in the next season. If an abortion outbreak (>2%) occurs in your herd we need a dead lamb and the accompanying placenta for testing. Some of the causes of abortions include: nutritional imbalance (including over nourishment, toxic weed exposure, toxin exposure including drugs and anti-parasite drugs, extreme environmental conditions, stressful conditions (including predators), illness in does or ewes, and infectious agents. The list of infectious agents is also long, including Campylobacteriosis, Chlamydiosis, Coxiellosis (Q fever), Toxoplasmosis, Bluetongue, Border Disease, Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, Listeriosis, Neospora, Salmonellosis, and Sarcocystosis. The 4 most significant causes of abortion are Campylobacter, Chlamydia, Q-fever, and Toxoplasmosis; all of which have serious human health risks. Campylobacteriosis: Ewes are infected with the bacteria through contaminated feces, aborted fetuses and placentas, and vaginal discharge from aborted ewes during the pregnancy. Aborted fetuses when delivered are typically starting to rot and the ewe may appear sick. Abortion levels of up to 70% can occur in a susceptible herd, but more commonly levels of 10 to 20% are seen. Humans in contact with the bacteria

It’s a warning to producers - up to one-half of Alberta hay supplies may be of lower quality. “This could be a problem for cattle producers leading up to calving time,” says Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “Protein levels in a lot of hay that was cut late or damaged by rain over the summer, is testing 25 to 30 per cent lower than normal.” He says this should raise alarm bells. “At calving time lower protein content in the ration will reduce feed intake and the amount of nutrients the animals are able to consume on a daily basis.

Alberta hay supplies may be of lower quality: half

cent from the previous year. Many producers are taking advantage of record prices to recoup lost equity from the past decade. Other older farmers are using the opportunity to retire. Feeder cattle sales south of the border were strong last year due to a rising U.S. dollar and an abundant supply of relatively inexpensive corn. “The reality is that they have cheaper corn versus barley prices in Canada and cattle move to the feed,” says Brian Perillat, manager and senior market analyst with Canfax. About 66,000 head of Canadian feeder cattle were sold to buyers in the United States during the first two months of 2015, well ahead of the 55,000 during the same period a year ago. Canadian-based processors are seeing the impact. Sandy Russell, an analyst with Spring Creek Land & Cattle Consulting at Outlook, Sask., recently found year-to-date slaughter levels are three per cent lower than 2014, considered in the industry to be not a stellar year. Canadian slaughter levels have gradually declined as weekly Canadian federally inspected kills have not exceeded 60,000 head since May 2012. “It is one of those quiet factors that we have been monitoring that doesn’t get a lot of attention as the industry deals with other issues,” Russell says. “As we erode feeder numbers and start to see the amount of cattle on feed decline in Canada, you statrt to get concerned about your feeding and packing capacity. Once you lose players within the game, it is hard to get them back.” There was a bit of a silver lining in the Statistics Canada beef cattle estimates: the number of heifers for breeding only fell by 1.5 per cent. “We have to retain a lot more heifers if we are going to start getting into any kind of an expansion phase,” Perillat says. “We are still a little ways away from that happening yet.”

Good herd management not only means maximizing the number of healthy calves but also doing so as efficiently as possible. This includes minimizing the costs of feeding and supplementing cows while achieving maximum effect. “Typically, supplementation programs supply energy, protein, minerals, vitamins or a combination of the four,” says Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist, Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “The question you have to ask yourself is whether the product of choice meets the requirements of what you need?” For an example, Yaremcio uses a ration that is short of protein, and one pound of a 20% protein block ($385/tonne, or 17.5 cents a pound) is required. “How does this cost compare to adding wheat distillers grains with solubles (WDG) at 10 cents a pound that has 48 per cent protein? To provide the same amount of protein, the distiller should be fed at 0.4 pounds at a cost of four cents per head per day. The WDG needs to be fed with grain or pellets. The cost of processing and delivering the grain needs to be calculated into the total cost. With the grain and distillers’ feeding plan, it is relatively safe to assume that every animal will receive some grain/protein every feeding. Also, when feeding tubs, blocks, supplements or mineral free choice, there is no way to know how much product an animal is consuming and at what interval. The free choice system has the greatest risk of not achieving the intake that is needed.” In the above example, a 1400 pound cow in late pregnancy requires a 9% protein diet (dry basis) or roughly 1020 grams of protein per day. Adding one pound of a 20% block or supplement increases protein content in the ration by 90 grams. The protein content of the diet increases by 0.5% on a dry matter basis. “If the supplied ration is at 8%, adding one pound of a 20% product improves the situation, but it does not meet requirements,” says Yaremcio. “Without feed test results, the ration could easily be 12% protein and there is a protein supplementation cost of 17 cents a day per cow that is not required. This is hard earned money that does not need to be spent.” Every farm or ranch is different and there are many possible feed combinations to provide a balanced ration, says Yaremcio. “Unfortunately, there is no single answer that will fit all situations. Adopting a feeding practice must fit your management style and operation. It is not acceptable to copy what a neighbor is doing because it seems to be a reasonable thing to do. Use a pencil and paper or computer to figure out costs. If necessary, consult with a nutritionist to balance the ration or if you are comfortable; use a ration balancing program such as CowBytes to do the work yourself.” Contact: Barry Yaremcio 310 (FARM) 3276

Alberta welcomed Gumar Dyussembayev, deputy governor of Atyrau Oblast, and a group of farmers from Kazakhstan as part of a study trip focused on learning about Alberta’s cattle industry. “The delegation visited the new Canada Beef Centre for Excellence, University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and Olds College,” says Liza Sehic, international initiatives officer, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD), Edmonton. “Meetings were also held with the Canadian Hereford Association, Canadian Angus Association and the Canadian Beef Breed Council.” Dave Burdek, assistant deputy minister, ARD, met with the deputy governor and discussed the region’s agriculture sector and their need to develop their domestic herd, as well as opportunities for livestock genetics and technical assistance from Alberta. “We see an opportunity for Alberta companies and educational institutions to sup-

ply the Atyrau Oblast region with livestock genetics, education and consulting services and agriculture machinery,” adds Sehic. “Agriculture relations between Alberta and Kazakhstan began in April 2012 following an official visit from Kazakhstan’s minister of agriculture and the deputy governors of three Kazakhstani provinces. The delegation was interested in purchasing Alberta livestock.” The Atyrau Region is part of the oil-rich Caspian Depression and the region’s overall economy is dominated by mining (oil and gas). The region is diversifying away from oil and gas and is prepared to commit significant funds to the agriculture sector. The agriculture industry is challenged by the region’s mostly desert terrain (hot dry summers and cold winters, with little snow) and is dominated by sheep grazing on desert pastures. Funding for this project was provided through Growing Forward 2, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative. Contact: Liza Sehic 780-427-6403

by Richard Kamchen More Alberta farmers are inquiring about pastureland rental opportunities thanks to the improved financial state of the cow/calf sector. Dean Dyck, Alberta Agriculture farm business management specialist, says farmers’ calls to Alberta’s AgInfo Centre about pasture rentals are up 12 per cent this year versus last. “Prices for calves have increased substantially over the past six months to a year and it’s becoming a more profitable sector,” says Dyck. “Bred cow and heifer prices have just increased enormously. [Farmers’] equity has come back, and it’s become a more profitable business. We haven’t seen that for a number of years.” There’s also a greater trend toward written leases versus verbal agreements. “They just want to protect themselves more than anything else,” Dyck says. “It’s always good to have a written agreement because then you know who’s responsible for what.” A written lease has the advantage of spelling out parties’ responsibilities and obligations and dispute resolution mechanisms. Essentially, there are two types of pasture leases: supervised and unsupervised. Both are related to the degree of cattle supervision and who’s doing the

supervising. Numerous clauses can be included in a written lease, like restrictions and responsibilities relating to pasture management and general cattle management. “For things like pasture management, we’re talking about who’s going to inspect fences, who’s going to furnish the labour for repair, who’s going to furnish the material for the repair of fences, etc.,” Dyck explains. Cattle management stipulations could include who’s going to call a vet in the event of an emergency and who will pay the expenses, he adds. Another clause could deal with accountability regarding death loss and disappearance of cattle: “Who’s responsible for the death loss, and if cattle wander off, then somebody has to be responsible for it.” There could also be restrictions on the health status of cattle coming into the pasture to ensure sick animals are kept off the property and don’t spread anything to the landowner’s herd. “You could have something in [agreement] saying all medications are up-to-date before they enter the pasture,” Dyck says. Another clause that’s become more prevalent, especially during drought years, is a pull clause. In the event of a prolonged or late season dry period, this stipulation would allow the landowner to give the tenant two weeks’ notice to pull his cattle off pasture in order to avoid long-term damage caused by overgrazing.

By Lorne McClinton Everyone loves a good fright. That’s why there have been so many scary stories written about ghosts and goblins, gluten, and GMOs. Every week there seems to be a movie released with a new twist about a zombie apocalypse. Or, yet another news story about how something we like to eat is going to kill us. Harvey Levenstein doesn’t talk about zombies in his books, but the author and professor emeritus in history at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, has been writing about the evolution of North American eating habits for decades. Fear of food, he says, is almost bred into our genes. Food kills. Long before the dawn of written history, we’ve known that eating the wrong things will kill you. There is far less certainty when it comes to which foods or food components might be dangerous to your long-term health. Nutritional experts have been telling us about the types of foods—and their quantities—that should be included in a healthy diet since the late 19th century. Nutritional science is still a work in progress. We think we know more about how different foods affect our bodies than we really do. Often foods that were demonized in one decade are found to be not so bad the next. The case of fruits and vegetables is a classic example, Levenstein notes. A century ago, when scientists first started investigating the building blocks that our foods are made from, most Americans and Canadians ate a diet heavy on meat and potatoes. So researchers were dismayed that Italian immigrants ate one that contained a lot of 2 n fresh fruits and vegetables. “They thought, ‘These people are eating terribly; they’re wasting money buying fresh fruits and vegetables,’ ” Levenstein says. The best nutritional knowledge of the day said eating these foods put them at risk of malnutrition because they contained mainly water. They believed the best way to help immigrants to be healthier was to encourage them to cut back on fruits and vegetables and eat as much meat as possible instead. There are all kinds of examples like this when you look at how the advice on what we should eat has evolved, Levenstein says. When food additives first came

out, they were marvels of science. Later they were feared because they might be poisonous. It didn’t take long before we began worrying that the food industry was taking too much of the natural goodness out of our foods. So with very little evidence they made any difference to most people’s health, the multibillion dollar vitamin industry was launched to make up the shortfall. “Year after year, scientists come out with studies that are brimming with overconfidence about which foods are bad for us,” Levenstein says. “When you read them though, you see they will never say something ‘does’ cause; they always say something ‘may’ cause; there is always a ‘may’ in there. Sometimes the hubris that’s involved is amazing,” he adds. “In 1920, after the first two vitamins had been discovered, nutritionists said ‘we now know 90% of what there is to know about food. There are just a couple more pieces to the puzzle and we’ll have it all wrapped up.’” “The sad thing is the affect it has on people’s lives,” Levenstein says. “My father-in-law developed heart problems just as concerns over saturated fats were getting going. He had to go without all the foods he loved, steak, cheese, and eggs, for the last 15 years of his life. Now the most recent studies are starting to show that it likely made no difference at all.” “It’s very difficult to do definitive dietary studies because people don’t eat isolated nutrients, they eat food,” says Dr. Joe Schwarcz, director of Mc- Gill University’s Office for Science and Society, in Montreal, Quebec. “Much of the data we have is based on dietary surveys. But our memories aren’t that good; we can’t remember what we ate yesterday, let alone recall how many hotdogs we ate last year. The only way to get good dietary information is by keeping a diary where everything gets written down, including the weights, at the time it is consumed. And even these are suspect.” Remote process. Until the 1950s, most Americans and Canadians lived on farms and produced most of their own food. Now it’s produced, processed, and packaged far from where we live. It’s so remote from our daily lives that it’s natural for us to be wary about what has been done to it before it arrives on our plates. “When something goes wrong, it’s part of the human mind frame to try and find an explanation and try to remedy it,” Schwarcz says. “So when most people are diagnosed with some ailment, or don’t feel good, they start wondering what they did to bring it on. Food is there every day, so it’s a very convenient scapegoat.” So when celebrities go on TV or write on their blogs that they think a food is bad for you, it has almost the

same effect as someone standing up and shouting ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theater. It creates a panic. Schwarcz describes current concerns about gluten as a form of borderline mass hysteria. “Gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) is a fascinating story,” Schwarcz says. “Celiac disease is a real condition. It’s an autoimmune disorder that affects between one in 140 to 150 people, and that results in

damage to the lining of the small intestine when foods containing gluten are eaten. Usually it’s diagnosed by a gastroenterologist who confirms it with a biopsy. Anyone who has it needs to avoid gluten or face catastrophic consequences.” Allergies and sensitivity. There’s also wheat allergy, Schwarcz adds. It affects less than 1% of the population. People with a confirmed allergy also have to avoid wheat. Others say they are gluten intolerant. Although they don’t test positive for either celiac disease or to a wheat allergy, they do claim they feel better after they have eliminated gluten from their diet. A small percentage of people can’t tolerate gluten in their bread and pasta, but the vast majority of those who avoid it have no health issues with it at all, Levenstein says. They’re doing it because they heard it was the thing to do. It’s a case of one-size fits all advice. Still there is money to be made in keeping people frightened, Levenstein says. The market for gluten-free alternatives has spawned a $23 billion industry. Perhaps that’s the crux of the reason Canadians and Americans are so nervous about our food supply. “Most food fears are either utterly groundless or blown out of proportion,” Levenstein says. “I think author Michael Pollan is right when he says we should eat a wide variety of foods. Don’t eat too much and try to eat relatively more fruits and vegetables.” “Food is an important factor in our overall health, but it’s not the only one,” Schwarcz says. “I like how Harvey Levenstein ended his book, ‘you can probably eat everything in moderation.‘ Well, moderation in everything, including moderation, because you can’t worry about every morsel that you put into your mouth, and every drop that you drink. You don’t want to be so worried about dying that you forget about living.”

Outrage boils over as B.C. government plans to sell groundwater for $2.25 per million litres

r001946889

More than 82,000 people have signed a petition against the government’s plans to sell B.C.’s water for $2.25 per million litres. “It is outrageous,” says the online petition from SumOfUs.org, that corporations can buy water “for next to nothing.” B.C.’s Water Sustainability Act (WSA), which comes into effect next January and replaces the province’s century-old water legislation, has been heralded as a major step forward. But politicians and experts are raising doubts over whether the newly announced water fees may be too low to cover the cost of the program, asking if the act simply won’t be implemented properly, or if taxpayers could end up picking up the bill. Last month, the government unveiled the new water pricing structure, which will include, for the first time in B.C.’s history, groundwater being regulated and subject to fees and rentals. Critics said that while it’s a step in the right direction, the prices are still not close to capturing the resource’s value. Under the new regime, most residential water users won’t see a big difference. But water rates for industrial users, which are a fraction of what some provinces charge, are “like a giveaway” to corporations, critics say. — The Province

When it comes to vertical tillage we were, so to say, a little late to jump on the bandwagon. We waited a few years after the rst VT tools were launched before we brought out our own. And our delay was not without good reason. Our system lifts more soil, incorporates more residue and keeps a sharp working edge in a true vertical tillage function. It’s true. We took our time developing our vertical tillage tool. Just enough time to get it right.

Hunting guide banned from Yukon free to operate in B.C. Larry Pynn

Vancouver Sun

SELLING TRACTOR IN THE WORLD

PUSH MORE. PULL MORE. LIFT MORE

A B.C. guide outfitter banned from hunting and guiding in Yukon after his conviction there on wildlife offences can continue to operate in B.C. “British Columbians are right to be upset when any hunter violates hunting regulations in any jurisdiction,” Steve Thomson, minister of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations, said in an email to the Vancouver Sun. “Currently, convictions in another jurisdiction do not cause a person to automatically lose their licence in B.C.” Kamloops resident Abe Dougan of Big Boar Outfitters was convicted last August in Yukon of wasting meat and hunting too soon after exiting a plane in 2011. He was fined $15,000 and banned from hunting and guiding there for 20 years. The law requires a six-hour wait after a non-scheduled flight to help protect wildlife from an unfair hunt.

Dougan is also on trial for a dozen poaching charges stemming from a Dall sheep hunt in August 1999. He is accused of cross-border poaching and lying about where he shot a record-setting Dall mountain sheep. Dougan said he killed the sheep in a remote part of B.C. where he was entitled to hunt, but he stands accused of killing it in Yukon. Dougan could not be reached to comment. While it is “rare for a B.C. guide to be banned from operating in another jurisdiction,” the issue deserves further investigation, Thomson said. He has asked staff to “take a closer look at our existing legislative tools to see what options might already be available in circumstances similar to this.” A Hunting and Angling Advisory Panel, announced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in May 2012, is examining the need for penalties such as prohibitions assessed against convicted anglers, hunters and guides in one jurisdiction to be applied equally across the country.

B.C. leads Canada in drinking-water advisories Dan Fumano The Province

B.C. has more drinking water advisories than anywhere in Canada, a new national report shows, a statistic that experts attribute to the high number of small water systems in remote parts of the province. The report, issued last Thursday by the Council of Canadians, found that in January B.C. had 579 drinking water advisories in effect, more than any other Canadian province or territory. Emma Lui, the study’s author and the council’s national water campaigner, said the ﬁndings “point to the fact that B.C. needs to be very careful about the water resources and the water sources they do have.” The council wanted an updated picture of Canada’s drinking water situation, Lui said, since the last comprehensive study was published seven years ago by the Canadian Medical Association Journal. “We decided to see what the updated numbers were. And what’s interesting is that overall, across Canada, the numbers actually haven’t changed that much.” The 2008 CMAJ study also found B.C. had more boil-water advisories per capita than any other province. The new report includes everything from do-not-use advisories, to boil-water advisories, to precautionary water quality advisories. The report’s introduction reads: “Imagine having to boil water for everything you do in your home: to cook, clean, wash. Not

being able to turn on taps and get clean, safe water is a problem that many families across Canada and in First Nation communities face — some for years at time.” The high number of advisories can be partly explained by the fact the province reports on more small water systems, said Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s deputy health ofﬁcer. Most of B.C.’s advisories apply to very small water systems, often in remote communities, Henry said, and despite hundreds of advisories at a given time, “the vast majority of people” in B.C. can still drink clean water out of their taps. “It is a combination of (the fact) we include far more systems in the monitoring that we’re doing. And partly, there are some systems that really need some work, and we’ve been working with the communities to try and get that done,” Henry said. Still, according to UBC water-treatment expert Dr. Madjid Mohseni, “Clearly it’s an issue.” “Many of these systems are very, very small, but it’s not a consolation,” Mohseni said. “It’s not an easy ﬁx,” he said, and obstacles include limited resources and B.C.’s challenging geography. “But having said that, I think this huge number of boil-water advisories is not a good statistic for the province,” Mohseni said. “If we just accept this as the reality, and we live with that, that’s not a good thing.”

34 The Northern Horizon, March 27, 2015

Brilliant skies A pair of “solar belches” recently allowed skywatchers across the northern hemisphere to witness a display of charged particles, mainly electrons and protons, entering the atmosphere on a direct downward flow causing ionization and excitation of present and incident atmospheric constituents and consequent optical emissions. These “excited” protons can also produce emissions as hydrogen atoms after gaining an electron from the atmosphere.

Well, that’s how Sheldon on “The Big Bang Theory” would probably describe it. To the rest of us, we were given a rare display of strong aurora borealis, or “northern lights” Tuesday, March 17th. Darren Giersch caught these images over Swan Lake and Tomslake area.

AgriLife Extension expert warns of possible rust epidemic in Texas wheat crop

Province issues warning over wildlife danger With spring just around the corner, the provincial government is warning residents to be aware that wildlife — including bears, coyotes, cougars and other animals — is becoming more active. The government is asking that people avoid leaving food out to attract wildlife, reminding residents that conservation ofﬁcers can issue a $230 ticket or notice for a court appearance under the Wildlife Act for failure to secure “attractants” such as garbage, birdseed, compost and pet food. Bears emerging from hibernation are particularly keen to ﬁnd food around this time of year. “Whether it’s a dirty barbecue or food scraps in composts, bears only need to locate food once to develop a feeding pattern of returning to the

area,” the Ministry of Environment said in a release last week. Other animals like young cougars, roam wide in search of unoccupied territory, increasing their chances of wandering into residential communities, parks and campgrounds. Coyote pups are born in the spring and by July are attempting to hunt on their own. The ministry says the public should report all human-wildlife conﬂicts that threaten public safety or result in signiﬁcant property damage by calling the Report All Poachers and Polluters hotline, toll-free at 1-877-9527277.

Butler ‘s Farms.com (March 17, 2015) COLLEGE STATION – Early sightings of stripe rust in wheat could indicate 2015 might see an epidemic in infections, according to two Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service specialists. A close-up picture of stripe rust. (Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service photo by Dr. Ron French) Texas producers and AgriLife Extension specialists and agents have observed leaf and stripe rust throughout a large swath of the state from South Texas north into Oklahoma and in the San Angelo, Abilene and Chillicothe areas, said Dr. Clark Neely, AgriLife

Extension small grains and oilseed specialist in College Station. “Right now, stripe rust appears to be more prevalent than leaf rust, and in some cases, it has started to move into the upper canopy,” Neely said. Stripe rust was ﬁrst reported in Northeast Texas on Jan. 29, extremely early in the season, Neely said. In comparison, the earliest record of ﬁnding stripe rust was Jan. 8, 2005, which correlated with a severe epidemic of stripe rust across the Southern Great Plains. Another severe stripe rust epidemic occurred when stripe rust was observed on Feb. 20, 2010.

Alberta’s elm pruning ban starts April 1 AGRI-NEWS MARCH 30, 2015

To help keep Alberta Dutch elm disease (DED) free, the Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease (STOPDED) encourages everyone to pay attention to the Provincial elm pruning ban between April 1st and September 30th. To help eliminate beetle habitat, it is important to properly prune all dead wood out of your elms and dispose of all pruned elm wood and elm firewood by burning, burying or chipping by March 31. Stored elm wood can harbor the elm bark beetles that can carry DED. “Elm bark beetles, responsible for spreading the deadly DED fungus, feed on healthy elms and breed in dead and dying elm trees,” says Janet FeddesCalpas, STOPDED executive director. “If elm trees are pruned during the pruning ban period, these beetles which

are active at this time can be attracted to the scent of the fresh wound and possibly infect an otherwise healthy elm with DED. Once an elm tree is infected with DED it will die within that year.” Having your tree pruned properly is important. Many trees are killed or ruined annually from improper pruning. Pruning like any other skill requires knowledge and should be done by a professional certified arborist who can determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance and safety of your trees. Topping or removing an excessive amount of live wood is not recommended on any variety of trees and will weaken the tree’s structure.

Case IH expands precision disk 500 Air Drill Line

RACINE, Wis. (November 5, 2013) Case IH introduces the availability of two new air drills in 50- and 60-foot working widths. These larger-sized Precision Disk™ 500 air drills help growers cover more acres in short planting windows. “Case IH engineers have taken the best-in-class Precision Disk 500 design and made it even more productive with larger working widths and a five-section design,” says Dale Simpson, Case IH Seeding Marketing Manager. “Known for its accurate seed placement and ability to seed in diverse conditions – from no-till to reduced till to conventional till – the new Precision Disk 500 air drills are designed based on customer requests for wider operating widths to give them greater productivity.” Seed More Acres In A Day Growers can take advantage of faster fill times by pairing these larger drills with Precision Air™ carts. These carts are available in sizes from 280 to 430 bushels in a tow-between or towbehind configuration or 580 bushels in a tow-behind configuration. The larger sizes of the Precision Disk 500 are also an ideal match for higher-horsepower tractors, such as the new Case IH Steiger® 620 – the highest-horsepower agricultural tractor available in the market today with 682 maximum engine horsepower. “The Steiger is a great pairing for the Precision Disk air drill,” says Simpson. “Together they allow producers to cover more acres, making the most of long workdays and lowering input costs. The result is lower equipment investment per acre, and that can make a big impact on a grower’s bottom line.” The rugged, reliable frames of the Precision Disk 500 air drill hold up to changing field conditions – even going from no-till to conventional –

with the main center frame oriented in a “V” to provide exceptional weight distribution and stability. The new frame design also makes transport easier, as the wide profile of the transport wheels provide the stability to move the disk drill confidently, even at higher road speeds. “Ease of transport is increasingly important as growers farm more land that is not contiguous,” says Simpson. “The Precision Disk verticalfold design gives them the industry’s lowest transport height and narrow transport widths.” Additionally, there are no daily maintenance requirements, allowing you to stay in the field longer. “Maintenance requirements are almost nonexistent,” says Simpson. “There’s only one greaseable point on the row unit. And that is on the gauge wheel adjustment spindle – requiring greasing every 50 hours or once per season.” Unmatched Accuracy, Versatility Like other members of the Precision Disk family, these larger drills feature a parallel-link row unit for unmatched seed placement accuracy. The drills are available in either 7.5- or 10-inch row spacings. Newly designed double-edged closing wheels, with three easy-to-adjust pressure settings, eliminate air pockets and ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Hydraulic down pressure across the full width of the disk drill can be adjusted either manually or via an in-cab display option. The 50- and 60-foot Precision Disk 500 also provide the flexibility to seed across multiple crops and conditions: • Meter-roller options available with the Case IH Precision Air delivery systems provide accurate metering across a wide range of crops, including soybeans, wheat, hybrid rice, milo and cover crops. • Single, easy-to-reach “T” handles

select and lock in seeding depth with one adjustment – no tools necessary. Depth settings range from zero to 3.5 inches in 14 increments. • Patent-pending variable down-

pressure springs put the right amount of pressure on individual row units for better penetration across varying residue and soil conditions.

Oregon man says he fears for his safety after a photo of his sled dog team was shared thousands of times on social media, accusing him of stealing the dogs; photo has since been removed, but the musher says the Facebook 'mob' went too far

Musher falsely ac JONNY WAKEFIELD STAFF WRITER

A dog musher from Oregon is worried for his safety after an anonymous photo of his sled dog trailer found its way onto two Peace Region Facebook pages, where he was quickly labelled a dog thief. On Sunday night, a Facebook user posted a small photo of several dogs outside what appears to be a horse trailer on the side of a highway. The post, shared on popular social

media pages for Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, had alleged that the trailer was hauling stolen animals. It’s the latest in an online furor over what many people say is an ongoing string of dog thefts in both the B.C. and Alberta Peace. “There is a truck and horse trailer on the road right now that looks as though it may have some of our dogs,” the post on the Stop Dog Theft by Fighting Rings crowd funding site read. An accompanying Facebook post with the photo was shared thousands of times before being

Creek for several years,” Streeper said. Turner can only guess where the photo was taken, and who took it. He dropped a friend at the Edmonton airport on Thursday, and drove through Whitecourt, Peace River and High Level on his way to the Northwest Territories. Turner said he sometimes stops at a pullout on the side of the highway to feed his dogs and let them loose. “Where ever [the photo was taken,] I was clearly stopping to feed the dogs,”

A post on a crowd funding site raising reward money for information on stolen dogs. Another post, since deleted, included a photo of a trailer and truck belonging to a dog musher from Oregon. The post was shared more than 2,000 times.

removed. The trailer in the photo belongs to Dave Turner, a sled dog racer from Oregon. Turner, who recently drove to Hay River, Northwest Territories with 24 dogs for a race, got a call Sunday evening from a friend warning him that he had been deemed a dog thief by a Facebook “mob.” Many followup posts contained threatening messages. “This is really scary,” he told Alaska Highway News. “I have to drive through that area to Oregon. No matter what retraction anybody posts, there’s going to be some crazy out there who saw this post shared however many times and think I’m a dog thief and put me and my dogs in danger.” Among the people to come to Turner’s defence on social media was Fort Nelson musher Buddy Streeper, who spent part of the season racing with Turner in the Northern U.S. and Manitoba. “He hasn’t even been in Dawson

he said. Turner contacted the administrator of the Stolen Dogs 911 page. By just after 8 p.m. Sunday, it had been deleted and replaced with an apology. Rumours of a dog theft ring in Northern B.C. and Alberta have circulated on social media for some time. The SPCA told CBC earlier this month that they’ve noted “a deﬁnite increase in missing dogs.” Brad Tanner shared the information on a crowdfunding page set up to raise reward money for information regarding missing dogs. His dog Chocco was recently found dead, “shot execution style,” after going missing. Many have reported dogs disappearing from yards and locked homes —especially “bully” breeds like pit bulls. “What happened is we received a phone call explaining about this unit on the side of the road,” Tanner said. “They sent me a picture, and I sent it to

ccused of stealing dogs

SCREEN GRABS

A stream of Facebook comments after an administrator of the Stolen Dogs 911 page posted an apology to Dave Turner, a sled dog racer. A photo of Turner's truck and trailer, taken anonymously somewhere in Alberta, found its way onto several Peace Region Facebook pages, where he was deemed a possible suspect in a string of dog thefts. Many pet owners allege their dogs have been stolen to feed a dog fighting ring, which police continue to investigate.

the administrators of Stolen Dogs 911 and told them ‘hey, this is an eye witness stating there are several pit bulls tied up to this trailer, I think it’s worth looking into.’” (Turner said he does own a pet dog that appears to be a pit bull, but that the majority of his dogs are huskycrosses.) Tanner said he and the Stolen Dogs 911 administrators contacted RCMP before releasing the photos. In late January, the Dawson Creek RCMP said they were aware of the rumours, but that only two dogs had officially been reported stolen. “We always try to exercise as much due diligence as possible before getting it out there,” Tanner said. “But time is of the essence in these cases.” “[Turner] has our sincerest apol-

ogy,” Tanner added. Turner is still worried about the impact the post will have. “To me, that’s not really an apology. And there’s a lot of posts on the retraction I’m seeing, where people are posting ‘no apologies necessary, it’s too bad somebody was caught in the crossfire, but it’s important for us to find your dog.’” “If they think it’s okay for people to be caught in the crossfire, it’s really scary what this person is doing,” he said. The apology had been shared 43 times as of Alaska Highway News’ deadline. The original post accusing Turner of being a dog thief had been shared more than 2,000 times before being deleted. reporter@dcdn.ca

Canadians to get $25 basic TV service, pick-and-pay channels Gillian Shaw

Vancouver Sun

Canadians will be able to cut their basic television service to $25 a month and have their choice of pick-and-pay channels, but they may have to wait almost two years to do that, under new regulations released today by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. Following its public consultation, Let’s Talk TV: A Conversation with Canadians on the future of their television system, the CRTC issued the sweeping changes it termed a “roadmap to maximize choice and affordability for Canadians television viewers.” However, while television service providers can start offering the $25 entry-level service March 2016, they have until December 2016 to implement the changes. The announcement was welcomed by Vancouver advocacy group OpenMedia. ca, which provided feedback from 30,000 Canadian consumers in a report last fall to the CRTC. “Today’s move by the CRTC is a positive step forward and very much has the potential to save Canadians money on their monthly cable bills,” said OpenMedia.ca campaigns manager Josh Tabish. Telus also welcomed the CRTC decision. “Today’s CRTC decision is a real win for Canadians,” Ann Mainville-Neeson, vice-president broadcasting policy and regulatory affairs, Telus said in a written statement. “The decision explicitly prohibits anti-consumer contract terms which have historically limited our ability to enhance consumer choice and flexibility. “In order for consumers to benefit from real choice, content must be reasonably priced and packaged in a way that lets them access the content they want from their preferred provider,” she said. “Today’s decision is a giant step forward in that direction.” Tabish said the rules “will definitely be a step forward” but he said there is still room for television providers to continue to charge Canadians for channels they don’t want. Tabish said that’s because service providers have latitude in the provision of the basic service, which includes local and regional news and information programs. The CRTC said after the $25 basic package, Canadian consumers will be able to buy individual channel on a pick-and-pay basis or opt for small “reasonably priced,” theme packages. But for consumers who want only basic

television services, the new provisions drop the price by slightly more than half of what the average subscriber pays today. “The basic is going to be smaller than I think some of the current packages that are offered today, it’s certainly going to be less expensive,” said Tabish.

On the open road BIG LIVES and the women who live them!

Lisa Brouwer of Sioux Falls South Dakota shared with me her story recently. It is another story of a career banker

who gave up corporate America and the illusion of security to do something that ﬁlled her soul while making a living. She wanted to truly enjoy her job and feel that she was giving back, contributing something worth while in the world. Lisa was what she called a “Guilty Mom”. Having her ﬁrst child at 30, she was in the pinnacle of her career with awards and rewards. BUT - She felt guilty about the time she was away from her kids, working, always working. She realized that she was chasing the wrong success and she recognized how her life had shifted after she had kids. But she had missed the shift and that caused the guilty feelings. Lisa told me the story of her college professor who had inspired her to be a public speaker.

She had stuffed that inspiration to the back of her mind, and many years later, she had a dream about that conversation and it reawaken in her, the dream of being a public speaker. Lisa is a gal who, to use her own words, does not want to live a life of regret and so, she ditched a 21 year career and took courses and became a John Maxwell coach, a writer and a motorcycle safety trainer. She spoke of the fear and the courage it took to leave the security of a career where she had attained a certain level of success, where people knew and respected her. But, she is so happy that she did and she has NO REGRETS. She knew she had to shift her ideas about what success was and attributes some of the mental strength and courage that it took to step out of her comfort zone to being a rider! She expressed that getting on a motorcycle is one way that you can prove to yourself that, “Yes I can do this”. Among the many courses and coaching sessions she offers, the motivational speaking and coaching seminars she runs for women who ride, offer women an insight on how to take the lessons of inner courage and strength that riding offers and use it in their lives as mothers, care givers, wives, friends, employees and bosses. “That courage, that strength translates into every aspect of your lives if you allow it to,” says Lisa. “Sharpening our skills, growing, learning, these are things that are critical to all of our lives, and motorcycling

r001919588

is no different from being a mom or a business owner in that regard!” Lisa wants to encourage other women to embrace their dreams, ﬁll their souls, fuel their lives. She also talks about learning how to take stock, taking a pause and learning how to really listen to what your soul is trying to tell you. “Don’t stuff them, (your dreams) away in some dark recess of your mind. Bring them out into the daylight, examine them and if the pull is still there, do something about it. Growth; the attainment of knowledge, skill, is a life long journey,” says Lisa, “your either busy living or your busy dying.” Lisa Brouwer is a woman with a message! Through her training as a John Maxwell coach, Lisa is sharing the message of empowerment and Full Throttle Living. I deeply enjoyed getting to know Lisa on a more personal level. She is; dynamic, open, approachable and genuine! My interview with Liz Jansen of Ontario Canada is next, and I look forward to sharing her story with you! Have a great day and please, if you are blessed to live where you can be riding today, remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you! Belt Drive Betty Editor & Rider

Fishing license revenue will go to non-profit A new provincial agreement means that more fishing license revenue will go towards the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. Under the agreement, all the revenue generated by the B.C. government from selling licences will go to the society. For 2015-2016, this means about $10 million, or $3 million more than what the society currently receives. The Society is a private non-profit dedicated to enhancing and conserving B.C.’s freshwater fish resources for public benefit, their website state. reporter@ahnfsj.ca

Kindness meters to help homeless Victoria hopes to re-introduce two old-school parking meters as an act of kindness designed to help the homeless. The brightly coloured “kindness meters” won’t buy motorists parking time. Instead, the hope is to see them installed on the sidewalk mid-block as a means of collecting money for the homeless. Meters would be distinctly painted and labeled along the lines of: “The money collected in this meter will be given to community groups dedicated to providing services and resources to the homeless.” — Times Colonist
