Reapers of Hope: Volunteers work to feed the poor in the Third World

by Patrick Raftis

MOOREFIELD – “We can’t all be missionaries across the waters, but we can do our mission work here in Moorefield.

It’s a great cause, a wonderful cause.”

That’s how Irvin Kraemer, general manager of Reapers of Hope, describes the efforts of the volunteer-based operation, which turns excess produce from Canadian fields into meals for those in need in Third World countries.

The group is an arm of Christian Aid Ministries (CAM) of Waterloo, which was founded in 1984 as a non-profit charitable organization through which Amish and Mennonite churches and individuals could “minister to physical and spiritual needs around the world,” the CAM website states.

CAM is based in Ohio and the Waterloo arm of the organization was headquartered in Wallenstein until opening operations at the former Rona building centre property in Moorefield.

CAM purchased the building in 2012 and converted the warehouse facility into a modern food processing plant that opened in April.

The Wallenstein facility is still used for sorting donated clothes, but the administration, headed by Kraemer and longtime CAM secretary Delphine

Horst, is now run from the Moorefield location, which also includes a Christian book store.

Reapers of Hope is one of numerous aid programs operated by CAM worldwide. Others programs involve sponsoring orphans overseas, working to help eastern European families become self-sufficient, disaster response services and distributing medicine in Third World locations.

The idea of a food production facility flows from the abundance - in fact, over-abundance - of produce grown in this country.

“We live in a productive, blessed land and there are a lot of vegetables grown,” said Kraemer. “A lot of it is graded out and doesn’t make table stock.”

Producers donate tons of vegetables that may be too large or unsuitable for stores shelves for other reasons but are suitable for consumption.

At the Moorefield facility, volunteers cut and cull the produce, which is washed and dehydrated to form a healthy vegetable soup mix. The soup is packaged in vacuum-sealed three-pound bags, each of which, after soaking overnight in 25 litres of water, can provide 100 meals. Running at full capacity, Kraemer said the plant can produce about 800

bags, enough to provide 80,000 meals, in a single day.

“It’s just incredible,” said Kraemer. “We feel blessed to be able to produce this much food so that we can feed the hungry and the needy across the ocean.”

Between 40 and 50 volunteers are needed during mornings when the plant is operating. In the afternoons, only a few workers are needed to run the drying operations. Starting this month, production is up to four days a week.

Volunteers come from the various Mennonite churches in the area, as well as from other local churches and individual volunteers.

Although Reapers of Hope is run through a Mennonite organization, Kraemer notes “everyone is welcome to help out.”

Volunteers are given some basic training then put right to work sorting and cutting produce.

When the vegetables arrive, they are stored in a cooler until needed for processing. Then, bags and containers of produce must be opened. The vegetables are then dumped into a washer.

Cutting boards and two long conveyor belts in the cutting room efficiently provide an area for the vegetables to be trimmed and chopped in preparation for the dicer.

Volunteers feed the vegetables onto the top conveyor belts, trim vegetables and provide containers to collect the trimmed vegetables as they return on the bottom belt, which are then diced and dried.

While volunteers must be

to a CAM facility in Ephrata, Pennsylvania for distribution around the globe to the needy in countries like Romania, Haiti, South Korea, Liberia and

at least 14 years old, Kraemer points out there is no upper age limit and stools are provided for those who prefer to sit while they work. The building,

“We feel blessed to be able to produce this much food so that we can feed the hungry and the needy across the ocean.”

Cambodia.

For now, Kraemer says, the Moorefield operation produces only the soup mix, which

which was renovated largely by volunteers except for specialized work like plumbing and electrical, is spacious and fully accessible.

Both volunteers and vegetables have been plentiful so far, but Kraemer said it may be more difficult to run at full capacity through the early summer months.

“That will be a challenge during June and July … last year’s crop will be pretty much diminished and the new year’s crop won’t be coming up until August,” he explained.

Quoting the manager of the Christian Gleaners, a similar CAM operation in Cambridge, Kraemer said, “it will take a lot of prayers for the months of July and August to keep us going.”

The challenges of summer aside, Kraemer said the goal is for Reapers of Hope to be a year-round operation.

Once the food is processed, the soup mix is packaged in large barrels for transportation

includes such vegetables as asparagus, potatoes, beets, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, mushrooms, squash, zucchini and tomatoes. Eventually, he notes, the operation may move into production of apples and pears, which are dried and used as healthy snack food.

“At this point we’re not sure if we will be doing that,” he said.

Reapers of Hope accepts donations of food and monetary contributions, in addition to volunteer help. The organization estimates each dollar donated translates into seven meals. It can be contacted by calling the office at 519638-0828 or through e-mail at admin@camcanada.ca.

by Kelly Waterhouse ELORA - There is no place like home for guitarist Kevin Breit to launch his latest CD, and there is no better place to see him.

Taking the stage at the Elora Centre for the Arts on June 7, the show will be a rare opportunity to be up close and personal with Breit in his most natural state, playing music.

“The CD was initially launched at Hugh’s Room in Toronto,” said Breit. “I thought it would be a great idea to do a launch here too.”

Though he’d never tell you himself, Breit has garnered multiple awards and accolades. He has performed on recordings that have earned 10 Grammy Awards.

Considered a “guitarist’s guitarist,” Breit has recorded with Norah Jones, Rosanne Cash, k.d. Lang, Hugh Laurie, Holly Cole, Amos Lee, Jane Siberry, Molly Johnson, Serena Ryder, Natalie McMaster, Jane Bunnett and many others.

Breit is also a member of the popular all-male quartet, Sisters Euclid, whose album Run Neil Run received a Juno Award for best instrumental recording in 2006. Breit is also part of the trio Folkalarm, recording five CDs and touring throughout Canada.

Breit paired with blues

musician Harry Manx, together winning the Maple Blues Award for Acoustic Act of the Year in 2007. He is also part of the Stretch Orchestra, a band that was awarded a Juno for Best Instrumental Recording in 2012.

In Field Recording, Breit invokes the talents of the mysterious Upper York Mandolin Orchestra, giving credit to producer and arranger Thomas Dooley III. True Breit fans will be quick to uncover the mystery at the performance.

“The band isn’t coming,” he said of the 100-year-old Upper York musicians. “They won’t all fit into the Elora Centre for the Arts.”

Audiences will appreciate why these musicians needn’t bother to show up after seeing Breit master the performance.

He jokes, “I am just a mere conduit. I wrote the songs and I played the songs.”

The art centre performance will be backed up by bassist Russell Boswell, who has played with John McDermott, Mary Margaret O’Hara and Corey Hart.

“Russ has played with everybody,” Breit said. “I’m excited to have him join in.”

On drums will be Breit’s brother Garth, an acclaimed musician in his own right who has toured with David Wilcox,

Long John Baldry and in the Breit Brothers band.

“The show will be music from Field Recording,” Breit said of the album recorded in his private studio over a period of five months.

“It’s a mandolin orchestra,” Breit said, noting the album features 11 songs with himself on vocals, accompanied by mandolins, mandocellos and mandolas.

“It’s difficult music,” said Breit, who wrote all the songs and orchestration for the album. “It’s for an orchestra of mandolins.”

Describing the album as “thought provoking” with “sometimes quirky lyrics,” Breit has created an album that is as unique as he is. It includes the background vocals of fellow Elora artists Gwen Swick and Trudy Artman.

Through the summer Breit will take Field Recording on a tour to venues throughout Canada, including festivals such as the Frost Bite Musical Festival in Whitehorse.

The June 7 performance at the Elora Centre for the Arts begins at 8pm. Tickets ($20 in advance, $25 at the door) are available at Box Social, the Elora Centre for the Arts or via clairemce@yahoo.com.

A homeowner’s guide to metal roofing Here in Canada, our climate is a big deal. We face incredible variations in temperature, and depending on where we live, we might be dealing with long periods of ice and snow, followed by weeks of sweltering heat and humidity. The harshness of our weather is a major factor that has to be taken into consideration when building a house or installing a roof. Our weather is of all kinds and degrees. We get it all!

Our extreme weather conditions take a toll on our homes, and it is our roof that really absorbs the brunt of what nature throws at it. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a “worry-free” roof sitting on your house? What’s up there right now? Asphalt?

Have you inspected it lately? Are the shingles looking worn and weary? Any sign of breakage, curling or tearing? Has the barrier between the weather and your house been compromised at all?

How old is your roof? What kind of shape is it in? Do you know the average life span of an asphalt roof shingle? You’re looking at anything from 7 - 20 years, depending on your roofing product and climate. Re-roofing is a pretty big expense, so if you’re going to do it, wouldn’t it be nice to only do it once?

WOULDN’T IT BE NICE TO NEVER HAVE TO RE-ROOF AGAIN? Yes, you read that right. NEVER RE-ROOF AGAIN! The Benefits Of A Metal Roof You’ve no doubt noticed the increasing popularity of metal roofs. Metal roofing systems offer the homeowner a wealth of benefits. Today, let’s examine the Classic Metal Roofing System from a long-established company that offers a roofing product that has received international acclaim.

They are Classic Products Roofing Systems Inc., and they offer their customers a spectacular product, backed up by a wealth of expertise and a remarkable guarantee.

We’ll look at the Classic product first, which

is an aluminum tile.

What are the benefits of aluminum over asphalt? Certainly, asphalt is a cheaper product.

But is it really? Consider the fact that you’ll likely have to change your asphalt tiles every seven years or so. Think about how easily asphalt shingles can be compromised by weather (definitely a Canadian issue). Think about the environment, and the disposal of those old shingles.

Then consider that Classic Product’s aluminum tile is guaranteed for a lifetime. It’s pretty much weather-resistant and adds substantial value to your home, so it’s the wiser investment.

Classic Metal Roofing Systems have been manufacturing high quality aluminum roofing for over 30 years. They are the industry leader in residential metal roofing of the world’s most beautiful roofs throughout Canada, the United States, Australia, Japan and many other countries as well. With Classic Products Roofing Systems you are insured of an extremely high standard of both quality and service. They have a reputation to maintain, and they take great care to do so.

Classic’s aluminum shingles is a fantastic product. Unlike asphalt, aluminum won’t rot when exposed to moisture. It repels algae and moss. Its tight seal on your roof keeps out mice and insects that find their way under asphalt shingles. Wind, hail and rain have no effect on your aluminum roof. And, of course, aluminum doesn’t burn.

In fact, they’ve done some pretty wild lab testing on these aluminum shingles, including firing steel balls at them and subjecting them to 320kph hurricane force winds. The Classic aluminum shingles held up beautifully.

Classic Aluminum Roofs Are Better Than Steel And Are Environmentally Friendly Too Classic Aluminum Roofs compare most favourably to steel roofs as well. Steel is prone to rust, which is basically a parasite that deteriorates

the structural integrity of steel. Aluminum does not rust or lose its strength through time or exposure to the elements. Also, aluminum is made from recyclable materials, which adds an environmentally-friendly aspect to your new roof.

Energy Savings From Your Cool Classic Metal Roof There’s more yet. An aluminum roof installed

by Classic will lower the cost of your heating and cooling bills by up to 20%. The Kynar/Hylar coating on the shingles incorporates the advance HI-R Heat Barrier. This barrier contains special pigments, designed to reflect the infrared aspect of the sun’s rays. This lowers the heat in the attic space, and so promotes a cooler and more energy efficient home in the summer.

During the winter months, the insulating properties of your Classic Aluminum roof keep your home warmer, so your heating system doesn’t have to work as hard. Also, the reflected heat from the Classic Aluminum tile helps your roof to shed snow and ice more efficiently.

The Appearance Of Your Classic Aluminum Roof is Second To None When it comes to appearance, the aluminum shingles are stunning. This is a world-class quality product, designed to stringent manufacturing specifications. They have been designed to emulate the soft grain of cedar shakes or the smooth surface of wooden shakes. They come in a wide range of colours - everything from smart black to brilliant red. Without doubt, they are a beautiful enhancement to your home.

The Classic Lifetime Warranty To top it all off, a Classic roof carries a ‘bulletproof’ warranty. Your classic warranty will last a lifetime. So if any problem whatsoever arises with the shingles, or the way they are attached, a team of Classic installers will come and fix it at no cost to you. If you sell your home, the warranty transfers to the new owners for 40 years from the date of the original installation.

This lifetime warranty includes an additional guarantee that the look of your roof will remain

NEW FERTILIZER CONTAINER RECYCLING PROGRAM FOR FARMERS LAUNCHED A popular recycling program for farmers is being expanded to include new products. In addition to accepting empty, clean pesticide containers, CleanFARMS will now accept plastic fertilizer jugs and pails (less than 23 litres) as part of its annual recycling program.

Every year, approximately 4.5 million empty, triple-rinsed plastic pesticide containers are safely recycled into items that can be used back on the farm, for example farm drainage tile.

OMAF and MRA Report CleanFARMS encourages farmers to follow three easy steps in order to ensure the containers they are returning, including fertilizer containers, can be properly recycled. Farmers are asked to triple or pressure rinse containers to remove the entire product, remove the cap and label, and return the containers to the nearest collection sites. For more information, including a full list of collection sites visit: www.cleanfarms.ca or contact: Nadine Sisk at 613-218-6063.

Ontario Cattlemen’s Association hosts annual Queen’s Park Barbecue support during the BSE crisis and it has continued over the last decade as a valuable opportunity for meaningful conversation with Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) and their staff and to showcase the outstanding beef produced

by Ontario beef farmers.

Heightening the profile of the event this year, OCA was delighted to host and serve over 600 attendees with Ontario Corn‐Fed Beef tenderloin in partnership with the

TORONTO - The Ontario Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) board of directors were recently in Toronto for its annual Queen’s Park Barbecue held on the south lawn of the Ontario Legislature.

This year marked a special milestone for the OCA as it celebrated its tenth year of hosting one of the most highly anticipated events at Queen’s Park.

The first barbecue, initiated in 2003, was a way of thanking politicians for their

Ontario Premier and Minister of Agriculture and Food, the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, who served a number of hungry MPPs and their staff.

OCA was also pleased that Tim Hudak, Ontario PC Leader and Andrea Horwath, Ontario NDP Leader, were in attendance to help serve and meet with OCA sirectors.

“Each year we appreciate the warm welcome we receive at Queen’s Park,” said Dan Darling, OCA president. “Our

annual barbecue continues to provide a unique opportunity for Ontario beef farmers to meet collectively and individually with MPPs from across the province on issues of concern for rural Ontario and Ontario’s beef industry.”

Throughout the day, OCA directors and staff had the chance to meet with numerous MPPs to discuss the state of the industry and to discuss ways to improve the competitiveness and profitability for Ontario

beef farmers.

Topics of discussion included OCA’s confidence in Ontario’s Risk Management Insurance Program as a valuable tool for the entire industry, the importance of building beef research capacity in the province, and improving programs that encourage the next generation of beef farmers to enter the business or carry on the family operation.

“Ontario’s beef and cattle sector is important to the prov-

ince providing both jobs and contributing billions of dollars to the economy,” said Darling.

“We are proud of our industry and proud of our farmers and we welcomed the chance to share our passion and commitment with our MPPs. We look forward to their continued support in recognizing the value of our industry and the importance of agriculture to all Ontarians.”

The members were able to watch the robotic milker in action and tour the dairy facility. Proper calf halter tying techniques were illustrated by James Craig so there would be no escaped animals at the upcoming fall fairs. Judging of milk processing internet sites was demonstrated by Lisa

The second meeting of the West Luther 4-H Dairy Club was held at leader Angela Fairfield’s farm. It was a night of milk processing. Ice cream and butter were made from scratch and enjoyed later by the members.

The parts of a dairy cow, everything from its muzzle to its switch, were reviewed by leader James Craig so members would understand what the judges look for come fall

fair time. The cow score card shows the percentage that each part of the cow contributes to the cow’s total score. For example, the mammary system is 42 per cent, the feet and legs are 28%, the dairy strength is 20% and rump is 10%.

The history of milk and the processing required before purchasing was discussed by Angela Fairfield and James Craig.

Ontario farmers forced to pay higher crop protection costs than U.S. competitors GUELPH - Ontario farmers are paying an estimated $22 million more every year for crop protection products than their competitors in the U.S., according to the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association (OFVGA).

“Although product mix and volumes vary by crop and region, these numbers represent a disturbing amount of extra costs borne by Ontario farmers compared to our competitors south of the border,” said Ray Duc, a grape grower and chair of the OFVGA, in a statement issued by the organization.

The analysis was completed using data from the 2012 University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus survey of average prices for key agri-

cultural inputs in the US and Ontario, which includes fuel, fertilizer and 28 crop protection products; as well as the results of the latest Pesticide Use Survey conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF).

OFVGA analysis shows only three products of the 28 with a lower price in Ontario – RoundUp Weather Max, Guthion Solupac and Dithane DG Rainshield. All other products are more expensive in Ontario than for growers in the United States.

The 28 products surveyed by the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus represent approximately 85 per cent by volume of the total crop protection products used in Ontario.

The remaining 15% is

Eramosa 4-H Beef Club hosts a special guest speaker GUELPH-ERAMOSA The Eramosa 4-H Beef Club gathered for its second meeting of the year at the Wallace Farm in Ponsonby.

Two of the beef club members joined Wellington County’s 2013 travel connections, a dinner held on June 6.

Tickets for the dinner were sold at Scotiabank, on St. Andrew Street, Fergus.

The members had Jeff Irvin come in as a guest speaker. He taught the group about embryo transfer and genomics. A big thank you went out to Irvin for sharing his expertise and time.

After his talk, the meeting was finished off with the 4-H motto, “Learn to do by doing.”

made up of over 200 other products, including some with prices up to seven times higher in Canada than the United States, which means the total cost difference could even be higher if these were taken into account.

“Crop protection is a significant input cost for our growers and since we compete against global producers of fruits and vegetables, these are extra costs that we cannot recoup from the marketplace,” adds Duc. “We need a more level playing field if our industry is to remain competitive.”

Ontario fruit and vegetable farmers grow over 120 different crops and account for 30,000 non-family, on-farm jobs in rural Ontario, as well as a further 8,700 jobs in specialty processing.

The OFVGA is the voice of Ontario’s 7,500 fruit, vegetable, and greenhouse farmers on issues affecting the edible horticulture sector. For information visit ofvga.org or contact Craig Hunter at 519-7636160 ext. 119 or research@ ofvga.org.

by Mike Robinson ERIN - It looks like the town has a growing concern in a good way.

As the Erin Farmers’ Market gears up for another season, organizers were at council looking for a means to spread the good word.

On tap at the May 21 meeting were representatives of the Erin Agricultural Society Farmers’ Market, however it was Jennifer Girvin, president of the Erin Agricultural Society, who led the presentation.

She was one of several members of the group out to present their pitch to council.

“The mission of the agricultural society is ... of course ... to promote agriculture awareness,” Girvin said. “We’ve been doing that for 163 years through the Erin Fall Fair.”

Last year, the pilot market was quite successful, Girvin noted.

“Because of that, we decided to move forward with another market this year, and hopefully next year.”

Girvin said the eventual aim is for 80 per cent of the vendors to be farmers and 20% be artisans and crafters.

Right now, it is about 67% farmers and 33% non-farmers.

Girvin explained the reason the group aimed for a high percentage of farmer participation is, in part, due to different regulations.

She said to be considered an unregulated market, at least 50% of the vendors must be farmers. In turn, that status means someone could produce food in a non-inspected kitchen and sell it at the market.

“As soon as you get into the flea market category, then everyone is required to have kitchen inspections. The reason is they want to get farmers out there.”

One of the society’s requests was to install big signs across the municipality noting the market times. Girvin realized the town had a sign bylaw regarding event signage.

Typically the bylaw limits signs to be placed for a limited number of weeks before an event.

However, since the market runs all summer long, “we were hoping to have that extended for the entire summer.”

The market gears up on June 14 and continues until Sept. 27.

“We would then take them down as we were putting our fair signs up so there would be no overlap,” Girvin said.

Girvin also hoped the market could be allowed an improved presence on the town website, such as a button on the main page along with the market logo.

She also expressed hope that in 2014, there might be some town funds available, primarily to assist in advertising.

“We promised our vendors lots of consumer traffic, so any help we could get would be great.”

Girvin pointed out any funds generated by the market last year were reinvested into advertising.

She added the idea is to accept vendors from as close to Erin as possible.

This year, nine of the vendors are Erin farmers, three are non-farmers from outside of Erin, five are farmers from the areas surrounding Erin (from Arthur to Georgetown). The remainder make up a total of 29 vendors so far.

This year the group is doing joint advertising with farmers markets across Wellington County such as Aberfoyle,

Elora, Guelph and Minto.

Councillor Josie Wintersinger said that as a patron of the Guelph market, she is aware that at least two of those vendors get their product from the Ontario Food Terminal and then claim themselves as farmers.

Wintersinger asked if there were assurances genuine farmers are taking part.

Girvin said it is within the market regulations that food cannot be brought in from the food terminal.

“There is an agreement signed to ensure they do not.”

Members of the group stated every reasonable effort is made to ensure that is the case.

Wintersinger then clarified that the group wants to have their signs up for the entire summer.

Current regulations allow for signs to be installed for two weeks or a set number of days.

Brennan agreed the current sign bylaw is really oriented for one-off events.

Councillor Barb Tocher pointed out there is a process to ask council’s permission for an exception to the bylaw.

Tocher said generally it involves something in writing.

Another idea would be to have pre-written resolutions every other week to allow exemptions on a rolling basis.

It was pointed out to councillors that during the 16 weeks of the market, there will be different events each weekend.

Clerk Kathryn Ironmonger suggested this really wouldn’t set a precedent because the society was coming before council to request a variance to the sign bylaw.

“Every time a proposed variance comes before council, it is judged on its own merits.”

Tocher said with regard to potential funding for 2014, “there is an application process.”

Council agreed to authorize the placement of market signs for 16 weeks.

This year, the Erin Farmers’ Market opens on June 14.

Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You could be feeling under the weather this week, Aries. Even if your to-do list is a mile long, you need to take some time to recuperate before getting back to business.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Life experience is your advantage, Taurus. When your company is looking to fill a position, they will most likely hire from within. Make the most of this opportunity.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, just when things seem hopeless, a small ray of light shines through and you find a solution to your problem. Scorpio has some wise words, so listen up.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, once you think you have all of the answers, something pops up to make you reassess a situation. It could take a few days for you to find the answer you’re looking for.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may have fun in the sun on your mind, but others are urging you to buckle down and focus on some tasks that need to get wrapped up before you leave.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 There are some changes coming at work, Virgo. You just don’t know if they will be to your advantage or be something that could tilt you off your axis.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you have much to learn, but you cannot cram it all into one week. There is no crash course on life. Make the most of a getaway opportunity.

For the Second week of June

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 You can’t seem to focus on one thing for very long this week, Scorpio. You might have to spend a few days clearing your mind before you can refocus on the tasks at hand.

SAGITTARIUS -Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are not one to let an obstacle block you from your goal. Rethink your strategy and you will soon find yourself back on the path to success.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, changes at home are in store and you may be feeling both excited and anxious at the same time. This is perfectly understandable as you await the news.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, vacation plans may have been elusive until now, but you finally have the funds and the time to take the trip you desire.

Your traveling partner is still up in the air.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a new season inspires you to make changes and reconsider old relationships. Call it a late spring cleaning of your life.
