SD&SG candidates resort to finger pointing

by Matthew Uhrig Press staff

CHESTERVILLE – Residents looking for political perspective had their chance during Dundas County’s provincial candidates’ debate Wed., June 4.

The event, co-hosted by the North Dundas Chamber of Commerce and Dundas Federation of Agriculture, took place at the Royal Canadian Legion Chesterville Branch 434.

Four of the five vying for Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry (SD&SG)’s MPP seat at Queen’s Park were in attendance, including PC incumbent Jim McDonell, NDP Elaine MacDonald, Liberal John Earle, and Libertarian Shawn McRae. Attendees were able to grill candidates on various topics, selecting two to answer a question.

Before the question and answer session, opening statements were

awarded to each of the candidates.

It was during this time the political hopefuls took to smearing each other, and their party affiliations.

McRae led off with ideas about dissecting the current operation of provincial government, but it was Earle who took the first of what was many direct shots at McDonell, SD&SG’s representative since first being elected in 2011.

“We need action, not somebody who toes the party line while opportunities are missed,” Earle said.

“Our party has made mistakes, I won’t deny that. But there are now measures in place so that they don’t happen again.”

MacDonald, meanwhile, said debates throughout the riding are advantageous, helping to make candidates aware of the issues that don’t often get the airtime or newspaper ink they deserve.

“We get to hear from you, and get insight into the concerns,” she said.

“I hope I get to take them to Queen’s

Park and get action on them.”

McDonell used much of his speaking time to champion the PC’s vaunted “Million Jobs Plan,” and the reason 100,000 public sector jobs need to be eliminated.

“Ontario is at a crossroads,” he

said. “In the last five weeks, 2,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost.

That is 42,000 net jobs lost since [Kathleen] Wynne became premier.

The job losses are accelerating, and [my opponents] have leveled a lot of misinformation about our

METCALFE – Brenda Rushton can hardly find the right words to describe the sorrow she feels.

Some eight years after she and her husband, David, watched as their adopted son Shawn, who was afflicted with Duchenne muscular dystrophy,

was lowered into the ground, the couple has once again been hit by a torrent of grief.

“I’m just flabbergasted by it all,” Rushton told the Winchester Press.

Earlier this month, Rushton and her husband attended the memorial service at Metcalfe United Union Cemetery. After the ceremony, the two attended Shawn’s gravesite.

FINCH – What are local would-be politicians willing to do to alleviate poverty in Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry (SD&SG)?

On Thurs., June 5, at South Nation Conservation in Finch, the Social Development Council of Cornwall and Area’s Poverty Working Group, in co-operation with Linking Hands, a project of the House of Lazarus, hosted an all-candidates debate focusing on this question.

Those hoping to become SD&SG’s next MPP talked about how they might impact the region’s

poor through changes in provincial governmental policies.

The June 5 session began with opening statements from John Earle (Liberal), Jim McDonell (PC), Shawn McRae (Libertarian) and Elaine MacDonald (NDP). Green Party candidate Sharron Norman was absent.

“We need to take care of those most vulnerable in our society,” Earle said. “We recognize the struggles of families and we want to help. [We are] focusing on initiatives to make everyday living more affordable.”

Debate

Police Blotter Mischief RUSSELL – On Sun., June 8, Russell County OPP officers responded to a mischief complaint on Concession Street.

At that location, unknown suspect(s) had caused damage to a backhoe at a construction site. Anyone having information on this crime is asked to contact police at 613-443-4499.

Drunken domestic MOUNTAIN – On Sat., June 7, at approximately 1:30 am, Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry (SD&G) OPP officers responded to a report of a domestic situation at a residence on Clark Road. The investigation indicated that an altercation between a male and his spouse resulted in the female being assaulted. The male then left the residence and was located by police in the village.

The 25-year-old male was arrested and charged with assault, and being intoxicated in a public place (Liquor Licence Act).

Under arrest for threats MORRISBURG – On Fri., June 6, at approximately 8:30 pm, OPP officers responded to a report of threats. A male had called police and uttered threats concerning his ex-spouse.

The 45-year-old from Cardinal was arrested at the Morrisburg OPP detachment and charged with uttering threats. He was held in custody pending an appearance in Cornwall court.

Harassment MORRISBURG – On Thurs., June 5, OPP officers began an investigation into a report of harassment at a property on Fifth Street. Subsequent police work revealed that a male had harassed another male. On June 7, at approximately 2:00 am, Collin Fitzgerald, 35, was arrested at his residence on Caldwell Drive. Further information indicated he was in contravention of conditions imposed from a previous incident.

Fitzgerald was charged with criminal harassment, intimidation, and failure to comply with a probation order. He was held in custody pending an appearance in Cornwall court.

Uttering threats CHESTERVILLE – On Wed., June 4, at approximately 7:15 pm, SD&G OPP officers responded to a report of threats at a residence on Queen Street. The investigation indicated a verbal altercation between two males (34 and 38 years old) resulted in one threatening the other’s life.

The 34-year-old from North Dundas was arrested and is charged with uttering threats. He is scheduled to appear Tues., June 24 in Morrisburg court.

Drugs seized CHESTERVILLE – On June 4, at approximately 9:30 pm, OPP officers had occasion to check a suspicious vehicle at a property on Queen Street. The stop resulted in the seizure of a small quantity of suspected marijuana from two occupants.

Much of the evening’s questions focused on the need for job creation in two key sectors – health care and agriculture.

“Both Kemptville College and Winchester District Memorial Hospital have taken severe blows this year,” MacDonald said. “In Kemptville, the NDP has reaffirmed commitment to keep [the school] open. It is so important to our economy, and should be above partisan politics.”

On the health care portfolio, MacDonald said “a revolution” is to get money into the community. “If people can be sick and treated at home, that’s better,” she said.

“But the money doesn’t always follow the patients out [the hospital] door.”

McDonell squared the blame for bed cuts at Winchester’s medical facility at his Liberal counterpart.

“The beds are gone because of this Liberal government, and how they have been taking [Ontario’s] economy to the brink of bankruptcy. People are wondering what has been squandered, and whether the lost money could have been used to cut

our hydro bills and make life affordable again.”

Municipality of South Dundas Mayor Steven Byvelds quizzed McDonell about possible municipal partnering to help better streamline municipal funding allocations, and prevent the downloading of services to lower-tier governments, as it was during Mike Harris’ premiership.

“Our plan is to give ‘gas tax’ money to all municipalities, like the federal government does. Not on a program to program basis, but per capita,” McDonell said.

“There is money there, and we need to spend it wisely.”

Other often-asked questions including improvements to Ontario’s long-term care model, and easing the burden felt by taxpayers when it comes to covering electrical expenses, as hydro prices continue to rise.

“All of us would agree that hydro is a mess,” MacDonald said. “We’re going to start with the household, and give relief from the HST.” Ontario’s general election is set for tomorrow (Thurs., June 12).

Between opening and closing statements, candidates were faced with a host of poverty-related questions specific to SD&SG. What is the most important thing the government of Ontario can do to reduce poverty? Candidate responses to this question, in many cases, varied significantly.

McRae suggested, “dismantling the nanny state.”

He said the province is already in a state of dependency through social assistance programs. While these should not be retracted right away, he said their elimination was something to work toward. “[We] can’t depend on government to do what needs to be done anymore,” he said.

“Putting any more money into the system is just going to make the problem worse.”

His party’s objective, he added, is to “restore liberty.”

McDonell’s answer to the poverty issue was education, giving people the opportunity for increased forms of learning and better paying jobs, and encouraging them to help themselves.

This, however, was not to be confused with increasing minimum wage, as McDonell said doing so “doesn’t help.”

Wage increases compete with job creation, he said.

“The only way we’re going to change that is making it better for companies to create jobs,” he said.

McDonell said minimum wage is not the main contributing factor for the working poor, but rather it is the high cost of living.

PCs will scrap Drive Clean: McDonell

Big prop puts focus on long-term care

by Matthew Uhrig Press staff

CHESTERVILLE – Its proportions are obscene, but it is meant to be that way and is sure to catch the eyes of passersby.

The Ontario Health Coalition-led Giant Rocking Chair Tour touched down in Chesterville Thurs., June 5, setting up its 10-foot tall wooden rocking chair at the village waterfront in order to help raise awareness about the decreased level of care and increased wait times facing Ontarians in need of long-term medical attention.

“For [more than] a decade, the resources have not been there, and there are not enough beds,” Kim Johnston, campaign director, said.

The 27 city and town tour is meant to highlight two main issues. The first being what the health coalition calls “touch time.”

“We’re looking at the levels of care within the homes, and we are proposing that the province adopt a mandatory average minimum care staffing levels of four-hours daily hands-on care for each resident,” Johnston said. “A lot of cuts to health care funding and doubling of patients are putting more strain on providers. People are now staying at home longer, and they have more complex conditions by the time they get into extended care… People simply need more care.”

The second concern is the growing length of provincewide wait times for those looking to get into long-term care facilities.

“There are [more than] 20,000 people on wait lists across Ontario, and the number actually goes up to [more than] 35,000 when you include people that are not in a home of their choosing,” Johnston said.

Within this region, which is governed by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, 2,161 people are on a list waiting for a bed in a care home, while the number bumps up to 3,368 when transfer requests are factored in.

In most, but not all, cases, people are offered a bed in a facility outside of their community or end up being separated from their spouse or support network, Johnston added.

CHESTERVILLE – Calling it an “unnecessary” and “needless” government cash grab, Progressive Conservative (PC) incumbent Jim McDonell lambasted the provincial Drive Clean Program Thurs., May 5.

The Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry candidate made an election campaign stop at Car-o-line Autos in Chesterville where he made an ally in business owner Colin Abbott.

“It is a bit of a farce nowadays, because all vehicles are self-testing,” Abbott said, adding that the program tests for computer errors, not emissions from vehicle tailpipes. “If a car hiccups even the slightest, the engine light comes on. I don’t know one person that doesn’t come in with an engine light on. That is the trouble with [internal vehicle] computers trying to reset themselves.”

Abbott said the process is a hassle for any driver, because nothing can be done for 24 hours and 30 kilometres of driving distance after

Initially, the program was implemented as a temporary measure to reduce vehicle emissions that contribute to smog and poor air quality, allowing time for fuel efficiency and standards to catch up. (The veracity of the testing, however, has often been questioned. As has the coverage area, since drivers in this region must follow the program’s guidelines, but those in the Renfrew area are exempt.)

“The evidence clearly proves that happened four years ago,” McDonell said.

“From 1999 to 2010, the percentage of vehicles that failed emissions testing in Ontario dropped from 16 to five per cent. Virtually all vehicles made within the last 15 years are passing the Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry PC candidate Jim McDonell (left) made an election campaign stop at Chesterville’s test, [proving] that this temporaryJune program has fulfilled Car-o-line Autos Thurs., June 5 to rally Finch against & theDistrict provincial Lions Dance Drive Clean Program.

“These wait list numbers have not changed in more than a decade,” she said.

UCDSB preparing for ministry release of graduation statistics BROCKVILLE – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is preparing for changes to board-wide graduation rates resulting from the public release next year of ministry statistics.

Planning and research officer Phil Dawes said the board can expect to see its systemwide graduation rates change slightly, going from 82.7 to 82.3 per cent for the past two years. Those numbers are based upon an approach the UCDSB has traditionally used, but with the provincial unveiling, the percentage is expected to drop from 78 to 77.1 per cent.

Graduation rates have been presented as one of a series of key results indicators that are being developed in conjunction with the board’s trustees accountability framework.

While both the UCDSB and the education ministry approaches to calculate system-wide rates track cohorts of Grade 9 students throughout a four and five year timeframe, the different results are likely due to the fact the government strategy includes only students that transfer to other boards.

The UCDSB approach only includes students attending schools within the board.

The area educational system has a goal for a 90 per cent graduation rate by the year 2020, while the ministry has a provincial goal for 85 per cent of students completing school with a secondary diploma.

“From the early numerical information we have received from the ministry, we Snake Island are not yet able Roofing to specify the exact difference between

graduation rates,” Dawes said. “We are looking forward to receiving the necessary student information from the ministry to allow us to fully quantify the difference in results, and inform our progress in relation to our 90 per cent goal.”

Education director David Thomas added that the government has delayed its plans to publicly release board graduation rates.

“Originally, [the numbers] were going to be publicly released in March 2014,” he said. “The fact the ministry is now waiting until the spring of 2015 likely indicates that work is still underway to verify their accuracy, and to provide boards with necessary information to compare against locally developed methods to calculate graduation rates.”

Morrisburg firm hired to build new Williamsburg library

by Sandy Casselman Press staff

MORRISBURG – A small group of Williamsburg residents proved speaking up can make a difference.

At Tues., June 3’s council meeting, Municipality of South Dundas politicians unanimously agreed to hire Wells and Son Construction of Morrisburg at a cost of roughly $185,000 for the completion of renovations to the North Williamsburg Recreation Centre on County Road 18, including an ad-

dition, which is to house the Williamsburg branch of the Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry (SD&G) County Library.

Attempts to lower the cost of construction proved to be fruitless, Don Lewis, manager of planning and enforcement, said. It would be possible to lower the price tag by $8,850, but this, he added, would mean lower quality masonry.

“The savings aren’t significant enough to warrant a change,” Councillor Jim Graham said, echoing the sentiments of his colleagues.

Council notes from

South Dundas Upfront drain bills planned MORRISBURG – The Municipality of South Dundas is making a change to its municipal drain maintenance billing procedure. In a Tues., June 3 council meeting report, treasurer Shannon Geraghty said, “administration will proceed with billing the two-thirds costs prior to receiving the grant, and if the grant is not approved will result in issuing supplemental bills to the affected landowners.”

The action came in response to the 2013 auditor’s report heard late last month, which indicated the township was carrying more than $1 million in debt due to unbilled municipal drain maintenance expenditures. The billing change is expected to increase the municipality’s cash flow.

Tower brings monthly income A new communications tower has been allotted space on the South Dundas Water Treatment Plant property.

Following a recommendation from both Don Lewis, manager of planning and enforcement, and Chris Bazinet, manager of public works, council members unanimously voted to enter into a five-year agreement, which includes options to renew for three additional five-year periods, with Rogers Communications, whereby the company would erect a roughly 70-metre tower and pay the municipality $1,083 per month in rent. Going forward, rental fees are to increase a minimum of 1.5 per cent per year. Should the agreement last the full 20 years, Lewis said township revenue could potentially exceed $260,000.

Lewis assured politicians the land in question would not be needed by South Dundas in the foreseeable future.

In response to Councillor Jim Graham’s concern about transmission interference issues, Lewis said it is the carrier’s responsibility to ensure that doesn’t happen.

New floor for fire station The Morrisburg station of the South Dundas Fire and Emergency Services is set to get a new concrete floor and lateral drain, as $50,000 was set aside for the project during this year’s budget deliberations.

On June 3, politicians approved chief Chris McDonough’s recommendation to hire Concrete Cre8tors, the lowest of three bidders, for the repair and resurfacing of the facility floor at a cost of roughly $11,872. The bid was lowest as the contractor suggested using apoxy with stone mix, rather than a stone deck base. While the latter is a better quality, the former will more than meet the requirements of the Morrisburg station, McDonough said.

The floor, however, cannot be completed until the lateral drain is installed. A quote on the cost of the work by Seaway Cutters had not yet been received. However, this part of the project, McDonough assured politicians, would keep the total spent within the $50,000 budget.

It has been almost a year since the village lost its library to the T.R. Leger School, which, at that time, signed a three-year lease with the township for the County Road 31 building.

Originally, the decision to close the branch came from the library board in late 2012. However, by the time the decision was overturned in mid-2013, the branch’s facility was already legally promised to the educational organization, and another “suitable” location was unavailable, leaving Williamsburg’s

Residents then turned from lobbying the board to lobbying South Dundas’ council, as it is the municipality’s responsibility to provide the facility, and the county library’s responsibility to provide staff, books, and furnishings.

On June 3, with petitioning and lobbying now behind them, the soon-to-be-official Friends of the Williamsburg Library loudly applauded, as council members voted to move full-steam ahead with construction plans.

Cost of proposed sewer bylaw questioned IROQUOIS – A new sewer use bylaw is in the works for the Municipality of South Dundas.

Residents of the township had opportunities to sift through the draft, which is also available on the municipality’s website, ask questions, and voice concerns during recent open houses at the Iroquois Civic Centre Mon., June 2 and at the South Dundas Municipal Centre Thurs., June 5.

Notices sent out advised residents “this bylaw will prohibit and regulate the discharge of pollutants into drains, sewers, sewer systems, or sewage works.

Every home and business owner is responsible to determine if and how this bylaw may affect [them].”

While the meeting in Iroquois saw roughly 15 residents attend, the Morrisburg

gathering had approximately 30. At both meetings, the primary concern was cost.

“Council and staff are certainly aware of the cost implications,” Mayor Steven

Byvelds said. “We are looking to do the ‘easy’ fixes, such as roof leaders and sump pump connections.”

staff members, attended both meetings.

“There were suggestions of cost sharing if it makes sense,” he said. “There was also a suggestion to do a full analysis of the storm drain system to ensure it is draining as much excess water away as quickly as possible.”

In the end, the mayor said it comes down to protecting South Dundas’ infrastructure investments.

“The intent of the sewer use bylaw is to ensure that no improper material or excess water go to our new plants,” Byvelds said. “I do not see council placing unnecessary burdens on our residents, but would like to work with them to make our new investments in wastewater treatment work as well as possible with the least cost [and] ensuring the longevity of the plants.”

Work on the recreation centre is expected to get underway soon, and is to be completed sometime in September, Mayor Steven Byvelds said.

The project is to be financed with $10,000 from the accessibility budget, roughly $41,700 from the Park Fund, and the remainder from the Sale of Assets Reserve Fund. “[The money for the project is] coming from funding that isn’t going to affect our taxes,” Graham said. “It’s time we get on with this and get it done.”

“I like that area where you’re going to have the news. The more information we can put out there on the website, the better.”

Meanwhile, Councillor Evonne Delegarde had several suggestions, including a change to the calendar system (from the drop list to a calendar-style page), the homepage tabs (adding drop-down boxes), and content (adding contact information to the bottom of every page, and including links to all municipal forms). While taken into consideration, Turgeon-Brunet said not all of the ideas could be put into action, as they are not within the scope of the current project.

Remember when...

1924 PAGE 6

Electioneering nearing end So it has come to this. What has been one of the most contentious provincial campaigns in recent years reaches its crescendo tomorrow.

Yes, Thurs., June 12 has long been known as the date set for Ontario’s general election. But, really, the politicking has not ceased since the last race to the finish in 2011, or following former premier Dalton McGuinty’s sudden departure in 2012.

The mud slinging has been constant for months, and words like “corruption” and “scandal” have been key platform buzzwords, often flowing from the mouths of Progressive Conservative (PC) contenders.

Canada’s largest province, home to nearly 40 per cent of the country’s population, has hundreds of thousands of people who are unsure of who to send to Queen’s Park to represent their needs.

How to vote is the tough question. A perfect world would allow for the meshing of ideals from each of the three top parties, but that option is not available on the ballot. Back on planet Earth, voters are left with flawed choices, as imperfect as it can get.

The NDP’s platform has been handpicked from the party’s counterparts, albeit with principled tinkering in order for it to appear different. The PC’s look willing to do everything possible to erase “progressive” from its name, pushing forth in a regressive manner with severe job cuts and cash for big business that may or may not improve Ontario’s employment rate. The incumbent Liberals are promising social program funding, and a fiscally conservative budget, but intend to push through with heightened spending as a means to eventually balance the province’s books.

None of these are an ideal choice. And yet, we must choose.

Key issues, such as this year’s anticipated Ontario deficit of $12.5 billion, appear to have fallen, somewhat, to the backburner.

While the raw number is enormous, it must be put into context.

There is clearly a budget problem here, but according to some experts, it is far from a crisis. This province is not Greece.

On this matter, PC leader Tim Hudak says his party will eliminate the deficit in two years. Liberal leader, and incumbent premier, Kathleen Wynne has implored provincial residents to be patient, as her party, if given a majority mandate, will get things in order in three years time. Andrea Horwath and the NDP’s have mimicked the Liberals, and set about with their own three-year deficit reduction plan.

Locally, Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry’s candidates have played the big game known as politics, toeing, for the most part, their party’s line at every turn.

PC Jim McDonell, looking to return to the provincial legislature for a second time, has operated as expected, continually lambasting his Liberal counterpart John Earle and the party as a whole. Instead of offering key ideas about how the riding will be improved under his watch, McDonell has instead played the rhetoric record on repeat.

Earle, meanwhile, is the newcomer in this race, and has received little to no traction in the rural parts of the riding. In his home base of Cornwall, he is a known figure, but outside the urban centre he is no more than the man waving a red flag in a staunchly blue environment.

Perennial NDP candidate Elaine MacDonald, while an astute individual and skilled politician thanks to her years as councillor in Cornwall, is also riding the wrong coloured banner in the area.

This despite the fact she was quite likely the best versed during the area’s two candidates’ debates last week.

Yes, the polls appear to be tipped in McDonell’s favour, if for no other reason than his not being a Liberal or NDP. This riding’s PC contender is making use of the oldest trick in the book – taking the pulse of the riding, and continuously hammering home phrases associated with the blunders of his rivals. He often says nothing of substance, but if he closes with “gas plants scandal” or “increased hydro rates,” he drives his supporters wild.

And so it goes. At the end of the day June 12, Ontarians will have their next premier and a variety of MPPs; either the devils they know or the ones they, perhaps, don’t want to.

The backdrop for a perfect childhood

t’s funny how some things trigger memories of loved ones you have lost.

Maybe last week, as I reflected on the 10th anniversary of my father’s passing, I was looking for things that reminded me of him. Watching the Ottawa RedBlacks practice at Carleton during their training camp brought back a flood of memories of my Dad. Ottawa Rough Riders football was not our life, but it certainly provided a backdrop for our lives. Football was always on in the house. It was talked about at the dinner table, from his stories from back in the day to his favourite trick of pulling his pen out of his chest pocket and diagramming plays, blocking assignments, and different reads on a napkin, usually after dinner and a healthy dose of cognac or Kahlua.

We did a lot of things together. As a kid, he would have me tag along during his weekend photo assignments. He would always give me little jobs, mostly just to keep me out of his hair, while he did his work. I remember one time we went to a dairy farm in the Roebuck-Spencerville area. I was wandering around looking at everything while he was talking to the farm’s operator. They walked outside and I ended up locked in the barn. Even though he figured it out and came and got me after two or three minutes, it seemed like hours.

We laughed about the incident for years.

But that’s the funny thing about time.

Technically, it’s linear. But if you have ever Going to games was always fun, as lost someone close to you, time no longer my father, my uncle, and I would head up makes sense. The days can seem like they Highway 16 and into the city, go for Chilast forever, but then you look back and a nese food, and then go to the game.

Other Side

He was so upset that he got into his car, drove into the country, and cried. He had told me the story before, but it still hit hard.

It was the only time in his adult life he had cried.

I took him to his first Dallas Cowboys game on that trip. I went to the stadium and figured out where the disabled parking lot was, what gate he would go in, what the closest section and row was to the entrance.

Then I went to a ticket finding agency and got the exact seats I wanted so that he and my mother could go to the game.

Again, the game of football was a backdrop. Although he loved the game, what my father loved most was, as always, the people he met at the game. He loved talking to the people in Dallas and chatting.

We stopped and visited welcoming strangers, who were set up with barbecues in the parking lot. He talked about that day for years.

Now, with the RedBlacks getting ready to play, I find myself thinking about how excited my father would be. Sure, he would break down the game and he would talk about Henry Burris, but being in the moment, and sitting with friends, and making new ones would be what he would have loved.

I hope, somewhere out there, there is a Dad like him and a boy like I was, looking at their RedBlacks season tickets and getting ready to create a lifetime of memories.

The Editor: My farm is not an eyesore. An eyesore was when I caught Township of North Dundas Mayor Eric Duncan tearing down my business’ sign last fall as I was driving a tractor on County Road 3 near Morewood.

An even bigger eyesore is the fact the mayor, and his fellow councillors, approved a new subdivision in the south end of Winchester next to Terry’s Wash Mart and Laundromat.

The new homes have been built on a sidewalk, which, to my understanding, has been against municipal subdivision regulations for 50 years.

Working to develop North America’s energy sector responsibly OTTAWA – Last week, during a visit to Alberta, retired Anglican bishop Desmond Tutu caused a great deal of controversy with his disparaging comments about the oil sands.

I believe Tutu based his comments on a lot of misinformation, and I would like to clarify the facts about the Alberta oil sands.

Let me begin by telling you our Conservative government strongly supports Canada’s energy and natural resource sector, which represents 18 per cent of the Canadian economy, supporting 1.8 million jobs directly and indirectly.

Canada’s abundance of natural resources provides tremendous economic opportunity, and our government’s plan for responsible resource development is essential to Canada’s long-term prosperity.

As a major player in the world energy economy, the development of Canada’s energy sector is essential

their objective of acting environmentally responsible.

In Canada, we have taken strong action in the energy sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and operate within a framework of environmental protection. Our government recognizes that the Keystone XL pipeline project shares our economic and environmental objectives.

The U.S. State Department’s latest environmental impact review has again confirmed that the pipeline would have a minimal impact on the environment. On the contrary, the final report indicated that with the continued demand for crude oil imports, not approving the Keystone XL pipeline would pose a greater risk to the environment.

Joe Oliver, former minister of natural resources, has remarked, “Keystone XL has been the most exhaustively studied pipeline project ever proposed in the U.S. In

January, the state department confirmed once again that Keystone XL would have no significant impacts on the environment. The choice is obvious — Keystone XL should be approved, to the benefit of both our countries.”

The Obama administration’s continued delay in approving the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline is disappointing. Based on its strong merits, our Conservative government will continue to support the Keystone XL, as we remain committed to job creation, the responsible development of our natural resources, and Canada’s long-term economic prosperity.

Local pastor shares missionary experience

It was recently decided the Presbyterians of North Dundas’ $1,000 prize money, which they won during the 2012 Presbytery for their FROGS (Fully Relying on God) rap song, would be used to sponsor three area children to attend Gracefield Presbyterian Summer Camp.

Presbyterians send three children to summer camp WINCHESTER – The Presbyterians of North Dundas (POND) recently announced they are to send three local children to Gracefield Presbyterian Summer Camp this year.

In 2012, the POND team, which included members of the Winchester, Chesterville, and Morewood Presbyterian churches, participated in a Presbytery event calling for ideas to support the “Walking with God in the Neighbourhood” theme. More than 90 people participated, but it was North Dundas’ group that claimed the $1,000 prize for their FROGS (Fully Relying On God) idea, which included a rap song performed by members wearing felt lily pads and little frogs on their heads.

Achievement day menu planned

by Kurtis McLean CHESTERVILLE – The sixth and final meeting of the 4-H Pizzaholics Club was held at the Gathering House late last month.

All members worked on preparing the dough and the toppings for the pizzas. As the dough was rising, the group held its business portion of the meeting. Roll call was the favourite pizza made so far. The achievement day date was changed to Sat., June 14, and a menu for the occasion was planned.

Then, members were divided into four groups, with two groups topping pizzas with ham and pineapple, while the other two topped S’more pizzas.

While the pizzas were in the oven, the group discussed the difference in cost between making their own pizzas and buying them, as well as the difference in healthy choice toppings.

Dairy Club visits La Ferme Gillette

by Brandon Scheepers EMBRUN – The Dundas 4-H Dairy Club recently gathered at La Ferme Gillette, where they met Eric and Paul Patenaude.

In addition to meeting and talking with the farm’s owners, club members also met the farm’s Guinness World Recordsetting cow, Smurf, the highest milk-producing cow in the world.

Paul explained how to pick a good 4-H heifer as a show project. Then the group went on a tour of the Patenaude’s show barn, and new calving barn.

Later, 4-H’ers had the opportunity to judge four of the farm’s two-year-old first-calf heifers.

Once the meeting came to order, all members enjoyed a drink and a treat.

Sheep club learns to cook with lamb

by Leanne Zuiderveen OSGOODE – The East Carleton 4-H Sheep Club held its first official meeting of 2014 at the Osgoode Youth Association (O-YA) Centre last month.

The group welcomed 4-H alumni, and chef, Dave Neil, co-owner of Westboro’s The Piggy Market, an artisan delicatessen and craft butcher shop dedicated to working with local farmers who produce pork, beef, veal, poultry and lambs.

Neil taught members how to make lamb meatball sub sandwiches. He began by having the group dice up onions, garlic, and oregano. After chopping the seasonings, members mixed them with “lamburger,” and began to shape uniform meatballs, which soon went into the oven.

While Neil prepared the rest of the sandwiches, the 24-member club held its elections, with the following results: Ryan Gallagher, president; Tim Oude Egberink, vice-president; and Leanne Zuiderveen, Emily Kingswood, Rhiannah Gallagher, Taylor Bazinet, and Galileo Baptist, press reporters.

Neil was thanked for teaching the group the various ways to cook with lamb, and soon everyone was ready to devour the delicious lamb meatball subs.

The next meeting is scheduled for Sat., June 21 at the Lambs Down Park Festival, which is hosted by the Canadian Co-operative Woolgrowers in Carleton Place.

He confirmed that the project is to move ahead as soon as the township permit is received, as Currelly hopes to have the silos in place and functioning for this year’s harvest.

When contacted by the Winchester Press about a reason for the delay, Lewis said, “we cannot discuss the status of any building permit application that is under formal review in order to comply with all applicable laws.”

As well, Mayor Steven Byvelds did not provide comment by press time.

Ag college task force plans public meeting for July 16

KEMPTVILLE – While much of the province is preparing for an election, the Kemptville College Renewal Task Force is pressing forward to find a suitable service provider for the school.

According to organization chair Brian Carre, the recent request for expressions of interest process provided numerous “unique opportunities” that require further evaluation.

As well, according to Carre, the Thurs., June 12 Ontario election “could greatly impact the context” in which the task force has been functioning.

Given the various factors involved, organization members have scheduled a community town hall meeting for Wed., July 16 at the Kemptville school. The session gets underway at 7 pm.

To date, a committee of volunteers has supported the task force, but the Kemptville College Foundation has offered to cover operational expenses going forward.

“Funding to help [the task force] get established and meet its initial expenses is entirely in keeping with our mandate to support students, and the college,” foundation president Mac Johnston said. “In fact, there is no better cause at this critical point in the long history of the college, which remains the backbone of agriculture and agri-business in Eastern and East-Central Ontario.”

Cotnam boots two goals

U13 United edges Seaway 4-3 Connor Findlay posts IROQUOIS – Cameron Cotnam pegged a pair of goals, including the winner, leading North Dundas U13 United to a 4-3 decision over the host Seaway Kickers.

Last week’s (Thurs., June 5) victory opened the 2014 South Side Soccer League season for North Dundas.

Seaway grabbed a quick 2-0 lead, but North Dundas rallied and sliced their deficit to 2-1 when Cotnam chipped a shot into the top of the Kickers net.

Coach Kevin Bell said his keeper Darin Elliott was a little nervous in his first game of the season, but settled down and made some key saves later in the match.

Chase Holmes tied the count 2-2 putting a low shot inside the post in the early stages

of the second half. Seaway responded right away and gained a 3-2 lead.

The coach added a striker to try and generate more pressure and the move paid off when Dylan Barkley cracked the ball past Seaway’s diving keeper tying it 3-3.

Cotnam then rang up the GWG putting a slow roller into the Kickers cage making it 4-3.

“I was proud of the players and how they kept pressing,” said the coach. “They were often relentless in their attack. Although we have some things to work on, it was a good opening match.”

Tomorrow (Thurs., June 12), the United will host Nepean City U13 at the Chesterville Fairgrounds.

personal best at OFSAA MISSISSAUGA – Connor Findlay soared over the bar placed at 3.50m establishing a personal best while competing in the senior boys pole vault at OFSAA. The North Dundas District High School student wound up in 20th place in what his coach Rory Blackadder described as one of the deepest OFSAA fields he has seen.

The coach pointed out that Findlay just missed clearing 3.70m on two of his three attempts in last week’s (Thurs., June 5 – Sat., June 7) event.

“Since Connor is in his first year as a

senior I am certainly looking forward to his Grade 12 year,” he said. “Making it to OFSAA in Grade 11 is an amazing accomplishment since he was competing against Grade 12’s and potentially five year athletes.

“Connor is one of the most dedicated and coachable athletes that I have had,” added Blackadder.

Last year as a junior, Findlay qualified for OFSAA where he broke the 3m barrier on his way to a height of 3.20m and a seventh-place finish.

The victory snapped a two-game losing skid the first-place Blues (5-2-0) had been in. The loss lowered the Bridals record to 0-6-1.

Annable’s Jewellery Greens (4-2-1) held on to second place when they tied the third-place Andy’s Foodland Reds (3-2-2) 2-2 in the late game.

Ball (unassisted) put the Blues into a

2-1 lead at 10:04 of the second session and once again Bridals knotted the count on Alyson Erwin’s unassisted goal. Ball then teamed up with Cummins and Francis and gave her team a 3-2 lead that would hold up through a scoreless third period.

Megan Van Allen posted the win and Roxanne Crump suffered the one-goal setback.

Greens 2 – Reds 2 First period shots fired by Haley Moher (unassisted at 11:56) and Kaila Beckstead (Moher, Laura MacKinnon at 7:04) gave the Reds a 2-0 advantage that held up until Shaelyn McCadden (Rhonda Boulanger, Jessica Winters) sliced Greens deficit to 2-1 5:33 before the end of period two.

McCadden cracked her second marker of the game at the 10:12 mark of the final frame deadlocking the issue at 2-2. Boulanger drew her second assist on the play.

Leigh-Ann Dearing tended the Reds net and Cashelle Baldwin blocked shots for the Greens.

Leafs 6 – Habs 1 The Leafs jumped out to a 3-0 first-half lead against the Habs and cruised to a 6-1 victory, their third in four games.

Drew Cotnam opened the scoring courtesy of a pass from

Hawks 8 – Senators 3 Matt Laflamme extended his torrid scoring pace torching the Senators defence for five goals. The league’s top scorer also picked up an assist as the Hawks preyed on the Senators for an 8-3 win.

an assist. Spencer Kelly engineered four scoring plays while Ben Scharf (2), Nicholas Brugmans (2) and Josh Baron also earned assists.

Bayden Carr supplied the Senators’ scoring sniping three goals. Jarret Williams (2), Zack Nelson (2), Brodie Barkley and Lucas Vanden Broek collected helper points.

North Dundas WR4 and MR6 post OCSL wins OTTAWA – Two of the four North Dundas United Soccer Club teams competing in the Ottawa Carleton Soccer League registered wins in last week’s play.

The Men’s Rec 6 (MR6) United squad got a pair of goals from Mitch Melenhorst as they nipped the host Ottawa Internationals 3-2 last Wednesday (June 4). The following evening (Thurs., June 5), the Women’s Rec. 4 (WR4) crushed the Cumberland Cobras 6-2 on their home pitch.

Sonics tie Wednesday (June 4), the North Dundas MR3 Sonics (0-1-1) erased the memory of their 5-1 loss on opening day by playing the Gloucester Celtic to a 2-2 draw at the Hornets Nest.

Facing the perennially strong Celtic side, North Dundas, who defeated them 2-1 and lost 2-nil last season, put up the first goal when Matt Holmes, at the 10-minute mark, picked up a bouncing ball about 12 yards from the Gloucester net and put it in the top corner. Five minutes later, Holmes and Dave Mathers teamed up and created a solid scoring chance only to ring the shot off the crossbar.

The teams were deadlocked 1-1 at the half. The Celtics gained a 2-1 lead when the ball bounced off of keeper Jacob Tibben, off the post, off the crossbar and then rebounded off of defender Kenny Fenn’s back and into Tibben’s net.

As the Sonics applied pressure, Mathers hit the crossbar and Zach Sloane drilled a shot off the goalpost.

Major Black Sox split little league games, hammer Gan 13-3, mauled by Wildcats 11-5 WINCHESTER – Chris Cotton hit a pair of doubles and crossed the plate three times in the Winchester Black Sox 13-3 Upper Canada Minor Hockey League victory over the visitors from Gananoque.

Chloe Ziegler, Brandon Lovely (two singles), Jacob Sinclair, Cam Hermer (single, double) each scored a pair of runs. Jarid Byers and Seth Christophersen (single) each made the circuit once.

The Black Sox led 5-1 after an inning and 10-1 after three on their way to the 13-3 win.

Chris Hermer pitched the first two frames and allowed a run on four walks and five strikeouts.

Christophersen pitched the third and fourth innings and gave up two runs on a pair of walks. He struck out five.

Hermer and Christophersen teamed up and made a good defensive play in the top of the fourth when Hermer (catcher)

tracked down a passed ball and threw to Christophersen who made the out at the plate.

Wildcats 11 – Sox 5 The visiting Kemptville Wildcats scored five times in the fifth and three times in the sixth inning on their way to an 11-5 victory over the host Blacks Sox last week (Thurs., June 5).

Mathew Roach worked the first two innings and allowed one run on three walks.

He fanned six. Christophersen worked the third and fourth and was touched for a pair of runs on one walk. He K’ed four Cats. Hermer finished up and served up eight runs. He walked seven and struck out three.

Dylan Roberts was able to volley a shot out of the air and into the bottom of the Celtic cage to tie the game 2-2 with nine minutes to play.

Sonics captain Julian Whittam said he liked the play of keeper Tibben, midfielder Jason Catellier and forward Matt Holmes.

“We didn’t panic and kept control of the ball and had really good ball movement,” said Whittam. “A tie is a strong showing against a strong team.”

Tonight (Wed., June 11 at 7:30 pm), the Ottawa Royals will provide the Sonics’ opposition at Mountain Memorial Community Park.

Old Timers The week ended with the Old Timer 5 United dropping a 2-1 decision to the host Sporting Mexico side. Jason Eitzen toed home the lone North Dundas marker.

OMG – Wasn’t That A Party!

I don’t know where to begin. I guess the first ones to thank would be my wonderful husband and my fabulous kids for my 50th surprise party that I will never forget. To my best buds Bonnie, Michelle, Sonya, Lise, Kimmi for all your help in putting this together. Fred, you are the one and only MC who could have pulled this off the way you did. To my third son Ricky and my “challenged” friend Smiley – thank you for your wisecracking sense of humours. Thank you to the cooks for the fabulous chicken. To Alyssa for the spectacular cake! To all the Legion members for your hand in this. I was certainly overwhelmed with gifts and cards. Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I have no words. That is something I will treasure forever and ever. XO. I can’t thank you enough for that! To all who came out to help celebrate, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am truly blessed. Can’t wait for the 60th! (LOL) Love, Liz XOXO Oh, ya, and thanks to Gus and everyone else for the birthday wishes.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS & PROPERTY OWNERS REGARDING NOXIOUS WEEDS Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5 Sections 3, 13, 16 and 23, you are requested to destroy all noxious weeds on your property.

The main purpose of the Weed Control Act is to reduce the impact of noxious weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture. Primarily this act applies to agriculture and horticultural lands that generate income or other benefits to agriculture; this excludes lawns, gardens and private areas for personal enjoyment and leisure.

In Urban Areas - Sections 3, 13, 16 and 18 do not apply to noxious weed seeds that are far enough away from any land used for agricultural or horticultural purposes, as they do not interfere with that use.

Pursuant to Bylaw No. 4869, Wild Parsnip is now designated as a local weed within the boundaries of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and shall be deemed to be a noxious weed for the purposes of the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.W.5.

All properties within the Township of North Dundas and Municipality of South Dundas are hereby requested to be in compliance with the Weed Control Act by the 16th day of June, 2014 and throughout the season.

AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the By-law, by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Municipality of South Dundas not later than the 30th day of June, 2014, a Notice of Appeal setting out the objection to the Bylaw and the reasons in support of the objection. A Notice of Appeal must include the prescribed fee of $125.00 (certified cheque or money order) payable to the Minister of Finance.

Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the By-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the Council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

This By-law will change the zoning for the noted above. This farm lot was subject to a consent application which resulted in the severance of a surplus dwelling lot from a vacant farm parcel comprising the bulk of the property.

This Zoning By-law amendment is needed to fulfill a condition of approval of the aforementioned consent application wherein no new permanent residential uses are to be allowed on the vacant farm parcel.

The zoning is being changed by rezoning the retained parcel from Agricultural (A) to Agricultural Special Exception 8 (A-8).

This amendment is related to the following Consent Application: B-6/14.

This Zoning By-law Amendment is not related to any Minor Variance, Official Plan Amendment or Plan of Subdivision.

An explanation of the purpose and effect of the By-law, describing the lands to which the By-law applies, and a Key Map, showing the location of the lands to which the By-law applies, are attached. A copy of the complete By-law is available for inspection at the Municipal Office during regular office hours.

Cow comfort is key to good production

ow comfort is becoming one of the most talked about issues in the dairy industry. Improving cow comfort is becoming extremely Studies show important to increased cow farmers because it can help producers comfort significantly to increase the increases milk production and production longevity of their herds.

Some ways dairy farmers are improving cow comfort include sand bedding, waterbed mattresses, automatic cow brushes, and rubber mats for flooring.

The use of sand bedding is increasing, and is a great way for farmers to improve cow comfort. The process reduces pressure on the parts of a cow’s body that they put the most weight on. Barns with sand bedding see fewer hock injuries, and decreased hair loss on cow’s This cow is pictured making use of an automated brush system. knees. Sand bedding also significantly decreases the somatic cell count on mattresses have a dual chamber system, dairy farms.

Waterbeds have also been proven much easier to keep clean than traditional stall mattresses, and like sand bedding they show a significant decrease in swollen hocks or hair loss.

Another important part of improving cow comfort is improving flooring.

Studies have shown that when given a choice, cows prefer to stand on rubber mats instead of concrete flooring. As a result an increasing number of farms are using rubber mats in alleyways and parlours to reduce slipping, and make walking around more comfortable.

Pasturing cattle is another approach farmers use to ease pressure on cow’s hooves.

Automatic brushes are commonly seen in dairy barns throughout Ontario.

These brushes are usually cylindrical in shape and spin automatically when touched. They can roll back and forth over a cow’s back or simply rotate against a cow’s side as they brush up against it. Many barns have multiple brushes installed, and cows enjoy using them.

All of these innovations are helping farmers to improve their herd health and cow comfort. Studies show that increased cow comfort significantly increases milk production, and the dairy industry is responding.

are two options to managing corn silage.

The best option is to kill (by burn down or plowing) the alfalfa stand, and then planting a full season hybrid at a normal time. This maximizes silage yield and nutrient quality. Double cropping by planting corn silage after the first-cut of a damaged alfalfa stand can provide some forage to fill short term needs, but this comes at the significant risk of reduced corn silage yield and quality (reduced grain/stover ratio).

This approach can be very disappointing if spring growing conditions and early summer rainfall are insufficient. Similarly, no-tilling corn into an alfalfa sod rather than plowing is more risky without adequate rain.

Repair by no-tilling Where winterkilled areas are large and patchy, some farmers prefer to attempt to repair these areas by no-tilling in red clover and/or Italian ryegrass.

Both are difficult to dry for hay, but can make quality haylage. However, the best option is often just to seed a new forage stand in a new field in the crop rotation. Do not interseed alfalfa into an alfalfa stand because of auto toxicity and disease, unless the stand was seeded the preceding year.

Ryegrass establishes quickly and grows well when seeded early, but does not do as well during hot, dry summer conditions.

Because Italian ryegrass does not head and Westerwold annual ryegrass does, Italian ryegrass is higher forage quality, but more difficult to dry. Red clover establishes a bit faster than other legumes.

Direct benefits with automated feeding systems • The success in calf rearing primarily depends on feeding, management, and housing.

• This system’s main advantage is reduced labour. However, you cannot substitute an automated feeding system for careful management.

• Base your decision to raise calves this way on an assessment of herd health status, and the ability of the person looking after the calves to closely monitor their wellbeing.

• Labour time required to feed the calves can be reduced to one-third using an automatic feeder instead of bucket feeding • Change over from calves in hutches with bucket feeding to group housing with automatic feeding can reduce the labour requirement by almost 50 per cent.

• From a calves’ perspective, the advantage of automatic feeders is the multiple feeding of always fresh

prepared feed several times a day.

• Research indicates that calves can consume much higher volumes of milk, as much as 20 per cent of body weight, without negatively affecting health.

• A computerized calf feeder can take care of 15 to 20 calves • The feed quantity per visit can automatically adapt to calves’ development. Young calves receive more and smaller portions than older animals.

The maximum quantity per visit can be limited too.

• Weaning takes place automatically and gradually according to age.

• If the automatic feeder is connected to a computer-controlled concentrate feeder, the calves can be weaned according to concentrate intake.

• Group housing does not remove the need for good management practices.

Overlooking the calves, especially at a Automated feeders, such as this Rovibec PN-40 installed at Farside Farms near Berwick, are young age, can lead to troubles. becoming a more popular option for area farmers.

Summer seeding oats for forage

by Joel Bagg, OMAFRA forage specialist and Peter Johnson, OMAFRA cereals specialist

when establishment conditions are poor.

Triticale seed can be more expensive and difficult to source. Spring wheat generally yields poorly when summer seeded. At the same stage of maturity, oats, barley and LINDSAY triticale are very similar in feed quality. ummer seeding annual forages can Of the cereals, oats are the most readily be a useful low-cost option for available, and usually give the best yields producing extra feed, either as an emergency forage or a regular double-crop and returns for the dollars invested.

Peas can be added where higher forage option. These forages include cool-season quality is required. Cereal-pea mixtures cereals (oats, barley, triticale) and cerealare popular as a spring seeded companion pea mixtures, as well as warm-season crop. Peas added to cereals improve sorghums, sorghum-sudangrass and forage quality, but do not necessarily millets (pearl, Japanese). increase yields. Summer seeded peas Record acreages of these emergency dislike hot, dry conditions even more than annual forages were seeded last summer, cereals. Pea growth is often quite variable and provided farmers with a “big save” depending on moisture. Peas are more in meeting their forage needs.

Lush cereal, pea mixtures frequently used, as a low cost, low risk approach. They can be seeded in late-July can be difficult to cut. Seed is more expensive. Despite these concerns, peas or early-August following wheat and spring cereal harvest for an early-October improve forage quality where meeting high nutritional requirements is a priority, harvest. Oats can make good feed when such as for high producing dairy cows. If harvested at the correct stage of maturity a cereal-pea mixture is sown to improve and made into “oatlage” or baleage. Oats feed quality, at least 50 per cent should be are more frost tolerant in the fall than peas, with a total seeding rate of about 110 sorghums, and can continue growth after some frost.

However, cereals planted after late July may start slowly but finish strongly in the fall, and can perform very well.

Warm season grasses, such as sorghums, sorghum-sudans and millets do not grow well in cooler fall weather, and are very sensitive to frost. Once they are killed by that first frost, there is no further growth, which limits yield potential.

Also, after frost, there is a very narrow harvest window before forage quality drops significantly. There are also some concerns about potential prussic acid poisoning with frosted sorghums, particularly if pasturing. Oats will outperform sorghums in cooler, wet fall weather, and are much more tolerant to hard frosts.

Seeding Oats normally require about 60 days of growth following germination to reach the boot-stage. However, summer seeded oats tend to mature more slowly as days shorten in the fall, so may require an additional 10 days or so. Oats seeded in early August would typically be ready to harvest by the beginning of October.

Many prefer to no-till drill oats into wheat stubble to save time and moisture.

Alternative seeding methods are to broadcast the oats and then incorporate them with a light disc or cultivator, or to seed into a prepared seedbed using a conventional drill. Summer seeded oats for forage are commonly seeded at about 65 to 100 pounds per acre.

High seeding rates have little impact on improving yields. Cereal-pea mixtures (minimum 50 per cent peas) are seeded at about 110 pounds.

Seeding after winter wheat is harvested can be a good opportunity, but competition from volunteer wheat can be a significant

problem. Without vernalization, winter wheat will not form a stem in the fall to provide significant growth and yields are very limited. A lot of volunteer wheat can result when light grain goes through the combine, such as fusarium infection situations. One approach to reduce the problem is to do some light tillage behind the combine swath to encourage the grain to germinate. A burn down with glyphosate seven to 10 days later will remove much of the volunteer grain.

Varieties There are oat varieties specifically marketed as “forage” varieties. They are marketed as higher yielding, but tend to be later maturing, and with less disease resistance. Preliminary data suggests that western oat varieties respond differently in Ontario conditions and head very late, which results in lower yields, but higher nutrient quality. Ontario does not have a third-party forage oat variety testing program to evaluate variety performance and seed company claims. Many producers use double-cleaned or weedfree bin-run oats to minimize costs.

Other forage options Wheat fields that had red clover underseeded as a cover crop are a good source of forage. Red clover makes excellent feed for high producing dairy cows. Summer seeded Italian ryegrass has also been used with good results, with excellent feed quality.

As the trend of high land costs and strong grain prices continues, and hay acreages continue to slip, many farmers are looking to summer seeded annual forages on a more regular basis as a method of producing additional forage in a double crop system

Wide swath haylage requires innovation

by Joel Bagg, OMAFRA

possible makes sense. Research by Tom Kilcer, from Cornell University Extension, indicates that wide swath width (85 per LINDSAY cent of cutter-bar width) and sunlight ide swath haylage to achieve “haylage in a day,” and improve (cutting in the morning) are the keys to fast wilting for haylage high in digestible forage quality is a management practice that more dairy farmers in Ontario energy and improved fermentation.

Freshly cut forage doesn’t know it’s are adopting.

This is contrary to the more traditional dead yet. Carbohydrates gained from photosynthesis in a wide swath exposed to practice of using the mower-conditioner sunlight typically exceeded the respiration to place the swath in a narrow windrow for a day or two of wilting, and then chop losses.

The Cornell research indicates that directly. Wide swath haylage requires wide swaths can significantly improve some innovation and significant changes forage quality, consistency and “milkin both equipment and management, but per-ton” of haylage. Milk per ton was research indicates that improvements in improved by 300 pounds. As a valuable forage quality can be quite impressive. bonus, haylage in a day also reduces the risk of rain damage.

Respiration losses Rapid wilting after cutting is critical to Equipment changes and minimize the often significant respiration losses of sugars in high quality haylage. This modifications Most mower conditioners have an easy is especially true for higher yielding first-cuts.

Plant respiration continues after cutting swath width adjustment. Dr Ron Schuler to below 60 to 65 per cent dry matter when (extension engineer at the University the cells actually die. Respiration converts of Wisconsin) reports that the average maximum swath width on the North stored carbohydrates (starch and sugar) American market is 61.4 per cent of the to carbon dioxide, heat and moisture, and causes dry matter losses and increased fibre cut width, with a range of 28 to 87 per per cent.

preventing many from making wide swath haylage. Some are adopting the use of windrow mergers that use a pickup and belt (similar to an inverter, but wider) rather than rakes, in order to reduce the risk of picking up rocks, clostridia bacteria and soil (ash). A rock in the chopper is a huge problem to be avoided. Combining two or more windrows into one with a merger creates the need for an extra field operation, but it also increases chopper capacity and speed. Moving an “almost ready” swath with a merger also speeds wilting. A merger is cheaper and faster to run than a harvester.

There is some concern about driving on a wide swath. The Cornell research indicates that in a wide swath situation, driving on the cut swath with the tractor is not an issue that significantly affects drying. However, there may be some potential for soil contamination that adversely affects fermentation, particularly in wet field conditions. Tractor tires can be set as wide as possible.

Before purchasing wide swath haylage equipment, it is important to consider the compatibility of the mower (or mowerconditioner) swath width, merger pick-up width, and the forage harvester pick-up width.

through the stems to the stomata (pores) in the leaves.

In a narrow dense windrow the stomata close, so conditioning is an important drying mechanism. On the other hand, if you have a wide swath and sunlight to keep the stomata open, the Cornell research indicates you could forego conditioning in a haylage system.

Conditioning is unquestionably essential when the stomata close when moistures fall below 60 to 65 per cent during dry hay making. Conditioning stems is extremely important at lower moistures in making dry hay. Strategies for wilting silage are quite different than dry hay making, but wide swaths are advantageous for both.

Morning or late in the day?

Stomata are generally open during the day and closed at night (or on the bottom of a tight swath). A wide swath maximizes exposure to sunlight, which keeps the stomata open and maximizes exposure to solar radiation (heat and lower humidity).

Contrary to some western U.S. research, in conditions similar to Ontario with high humidity and warm nights, respiration losses during the night exceed the extra sugars expected by cutting late in the day.

Impact of conditioning on wilting Bottom line Increasing the swath width is often Bottom line for wide swath haylage limited by the width of the conditioner – leave the swath as wide as possible on the mower. So if I have to forego by adjusting the mower, and cut in the conditioning to widen the swath, doesn’t morning. The full adoption of wide swath that negate any advantage of having a haylage will require some machinery wide swath?

Dry cows are susceptible to heat stress, too

by Mario S. Mongeon, OMAFRA livestock specialist ALFRED

he dry period in dairy cattle is critical in many ways and optimum conditions during the dry period will influence positively the outcome of the subsequent lactation.

During the dry period, the mammary system undergoes many changes. Tissue grows and extensive cell turnover takes place. This process is required to compensate for the cell loss that took place during the previous lactation. The extent of the regeneration process dictates the number of milk producing cells, as well as their production capacity. The absence of a dry period is associated with decreased milk production in the subsequent lactation since the mammary gland regeneration process is altered.

Environmental factors, such as photoperiod and temperature, have been demonstrated to affect subsequent lactation as well. For example, cows exposed to short-day photoperiod during the dry period produce more milk and have improved immune function than similar animals dried-off under long-day photoperiod.

Temperature is another important environmental factor. Dairy cows prefer cool temperatures. As the temperature gets warmer, especially if the relative humidity is high, signs of heat stress may start to show up, including lower dry matter intake and reduced milk production for lactating animals.

Dry cows can be negatively affected by warm temperatures as well, and this is a less known fact. Furthermore, not only will dry cows exhibit signs of heat stress during the warm spell, but the effects may extend well into the following lactation.

From May to November of 2009 a study involving dry cows was conducted at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

The objective of the project was to evaluate the effect of heat stress on the

Winchester BMR caters to dairy farmers WINCHESTER

verything at Winchester BMR revolves around service to the customer, including what makes its way to the County Road 38 store’s inventory.

It is a “one stop� shopping experience, owner Ken Boje said. “We’re a full-line store,� he added, highlighting the shop’s catalogue of products, which includes lumber, hardware, building supplies, housewares, plumbing, electrical, flooring, garden centre, seasonal products, painting, stove and fireplace, kitchen and bathroom, window and door, and agriculture.

In fact, Boje stocks an entire “agrizone� section, which continues to grow, as customer needs and requests come in. “As we’ve gone along, we’ve added,� Boje said.

In terms of dairy farmer needs, Boje currently stocks a variety of materials and brand names, including teat dips, washes, fine shavings, twine, foot wraps, halters, salt and mineral licks, water bowls, buckets, calf shelters, fencing, and more.

Boje said he keeps key items in stock, but can order anything BMR holds in its warehouse, and have it in the store within the week. Customers can search online (www.bmr.co) and follow-up in store with the request.

As well, Boje deals with outside suppliers, and will bring in special request items if the need arises. An example of this situation is a special request from a few of Boje’s dairy customers for the Ecolab brand of teat dips. For this, Boje deals directly with the supplier to bring the product into the Winchester store for his clients. “We’re in a very strong agricultural centre,� Boje said.

Winchester BMR carries a large variety of supplies for dairy farming, including wash, foot wraps, buckets, salt and mineral licks, halters, and more.

The store also stocks a variety of tools and accessories for other agricultural sectors, including poultry, equestrian, the maple industry, and more. As well, there is a full line of work clothing and footwear.

hen industry professionals meet to discuss calf and heifer management, there is usually consensus among the group that many dairy producers invest financial and labour resources into raising too many replacement heifers.

In fact, when looking at the last census, one realizes that pretty much every heifer to raise replacement animals and only born in Ontario gets raised. Unless the the best bulls will be used as sires for herd size is increasing and in order for replacement heifers. heifers to be milked, one needs to make The Lifetime Profit Index (LPI) room for these new comers and older data includes a production, as well as a cows might get pushed out the barn conformation component and can be a prematurely. useful tool to rank all the animals in a Herd Turnover Rate is an indicator herd. The accuracy of the LPI is greater of how many animals leave the herd for cows with actual records. For calves throughout a year, and is calculated by and heifers, the LPI value will be based dividing the number of culled animals in on the combined LPI value of the parents. a year by the average herd size for that For heifers, genomics can be a welcome period.

You then want to divide your list into three groups – the top group, with LPI above herd average; the average group; and the tail group with LPI below average.

DAIRY MONTH RECIPE

DAIRY MONTH RECIPE

Dulce de Leche Ice Cream

Easy Cauliflower Cheddar Soup

Ingredients 2 cups half-and-half or milk 4 large egg yolks ½ cup sugar 12 ounces butterscotch chips, divided 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Preparation instructions Prepare a large bowl or pan of ice water.

In the top of a double boiler, heat the half-and-half over simmering water until steaming. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until blended, then whisk in the sugar. Whisk in about half of the hot half-and-half and pour the yolk mixture into the pan of half-and-half. Stir with a silicone spatula or spoon and cook over simmering water for about eight minutes. Stir in one cup of the chips and continue stirring until blended in and the custard coats the back of the spatula, about two minutes more. Immediately place the custard pan in the ice bath and stir the custard occasionally until it cools to room temperature.

Transfer to a container and stir in the cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about three hours.

Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

When the ice cream is almost frozen, add the remaining one cup chips and churn until blended in, about 15 seconds more. Transfer to a container, cover and freeze until firm, about two hours. Makes about one quart.

DAIRY MONTH RECIPE

Dark Chocolate Banana Fruit Shake Ingredients 1 frozen ripe banana, broken into chunks 2 tsp (10 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder 2 cups (500 ml) chocolate milk ½ tsp (2 ml) vanilla extract

Ingredients 9 cups (2.25 l) chopped cauliflower, (about 2 lbs/1 kg) 2 stalks celery, diced 1 onion, chopped 3 potatoes, peeled and diced 2 tsp (10 ml) minced garlic Pepper 2 cups (500 ml) reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 cup (250 ml) water 2 tbsp (30 ml) all-purpose flour 2 ½ cups (625 ml) milk Ground nutmeg 1 ½ cups (375) shredded Canadian cheddar cheese, divided ¼ tsp (1 ml) salt, (approx.)

Preparation instructions In a large pot, combine cauliflower, celery, onion, potatoes, garlic, pepper to taste, chicken broth and water; cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and boil gently for 15 to 20 min or until vegetables are soft.

Whisk flour into milk; pour into pot with nutmeg to taste. Cook, stirring, for about three minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Using an immersion blender or transferring in batches to an upright blender, purée until smooth.

Return to pot, if necessary. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, for about five minutes or until bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in one cup (250 ml) of the cheese until melted. Season with pepper and up to ¼ tsp (1 ml) salt. Ladle into warm bowls and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Tips To save time, you can often buy pre-cut cauliflower in bags in the produce department of the supermarket Murphy’s Sales DT 14 bc Add one to two large carrots, chopped, with the cauliflower in step 1.

Use a Canadian old or extra-old cheddar cheese or use Canadian gouda or Swiss cheese in place of the cheddar.

Tips For the best flavour, use ripe bananas that are yellow with brown spots. As they ripen, peel them, then seal in a freezer bag and store in the freezer to make these shakes.

DAIRY MONTH RECIPE

DAIRY MONTH RECIPE

Blackberry Crème Brûlée A burst of berries makes this classic, creamy custard dessert absolutely sublime! They can be made ahead for easy entertaining – get out your blow torch for the best brûlée effect and to dazzle your guests.

Ingredients 2 cups (500 ml) 10% half-and-half or 18% table cream ½ cup (125 ml) granulated sugar, divided 2 eggs 2 egg yolks 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla 1 ½ cups (375 ml) fresh blackberries or raspberries

Fried Cheese Curds with Dip Ingredients 1 cup (250 ml) peach or mango, diced 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice 1 tsp (5 ml) tandoori paste 1/2 cup (125 ml) sour cream 1 tbsp (15 ml) chives, chopped Oil for frying 8 oz (240 g) Canadian cheese curds 1 cup (250 ml) tempura batter, storebought or prepared (fairly thick) Preparation instructions In a blender, purée the peach with lemon juice, tandoori paste, sour cream and chives. Pour into a bowl and reserve.

Heat oil on medium-high heat in a deep fryer or saucepan.

Dip cheese curds into tempura batter.

Place well-coated cheese curds into hot oil and fry until golden.

Drain on paper towels and serve with sauce as a dip.

Tips Cooking Tip: Fresh berries work best for this recipe. Frozen berries are too soft and the custard won’t set properly. Rinse fresh berries and pat dry with paper towel just before using.

Variation: Instead of sprinkling the tops with sugar and browning them, make a caramel syrup topping instead. Combine ¾ cup (175 ml) granulated sugar and ¼ cup (50 ml) water in a saucepan; bring to a boil over mediumhigh heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil, without stirring, until syrup turns a deep caramel colour. Let cool until bubbles subside; pour a thin layer onto custards and let harden.

For the Adventurous: Use pitted fresh cherries in place of the blackberries and add 1 tbsp (15 ml) amaretto with the vanilla.

Tip The oil used for frying must be very hot. Fry in small batches and keep warm in a 200°F (100°C) preheated oven.

DAIRY MONTH RECIPE

Bubbly Potato Skins Dip Potato skins are a favourite snack to munch on while watching the big game but making them is labour intensive. This hot, creamy and cheesy dip has all of the flavour with none of the fuss.

Ingredients 1 ⅓ cups (325 ml) shredded Canadian old cheddar or aged gouda cheese, divided 3 slices bacon, cooked crisp and finely chopped 1 cup (250 ml) plain yogurt, (not fat-free) ½ cup (125 ml) sour cream, (not fat-free) ¼ cup (50 ml) finely chopped green onions 2 tbsp (30 ml) cornstarch 1 tsp (5 ml) Dijon or dry mustard ¼ tsp (1 ml) pepper Thinly sliced green onions, (optional) Oven-baked potato wedges, raw vegetables pieces, potato chips, pretzels Preparation instructions In a bowl, combine one cup (250 ml) of the Canadian old cheddar cheese, bacon, yogurt, sour cream, chopped green onions, cornstarch, mustard and pepper. Spread into a shallow 4-cup (1 l) baking dish, smoothing top. (Can be covered and refrigerated for up to one day.)

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Bake dip, uncovered, for 15 to 20 min or until hot and bubbling around the edges. Stir and sprinkle with remaining Canadian old cheddar cheese.

Broil for about three minutes or until top is golden. Sprinkle with sliced green onions (if using). Serve dish on a platter surrounded with potato wedges, vegetables, chips and/or pretzels for dipping.

Tips Be sure yogurt and sour cream don’t contain gelatin as they may split when heated.

If desired, reserve some of the bacon and sprinkle on top of the dip before serving for garnish.

For the adventurous: Use Canadian smoked cheddar or Gouda if it’s available for added depth of flavour. Just be sure it’s not processed cheese – it won’t be the right texture.
