RegionalWith droughts on horizon,farmers consider irrigation

Arrayed across a quarter section just south of the Peace River, in a barley fi eld still muddy from spring runoff, lies a contraption that could be a sign of things to come.

It has five pairs of rubber wheels, mounted on struts that meet at a pipe to form an “X.”The “X’s” are spaced equally along the length of the pipe, which runs several hundred meters. Attached to

either end of the apparatus is a large sprinkler head.

There are around 1,800 farms in Northeast B.C., but this irrigation pivot on the South Peace Hutterite Colony is the only large-scale system for watering crops in the region.

Watering crops in the Peace hasn’t been necessary, but a warming climate is changing that equation.

With hot, dry summers becoming more common, grain farmers in the Peace are looking at irrigation for the fi rst time. Late last month, the B.C. Grain Producers Association kicked off a study on irrigating crops in the Peace — the fi rst time the topic has been put under a microscope. Over the next few months, researchers will determine what water is potentially available for irrigation, how much it would cost and whether watering crops in the Peace is even feasible.

The answers to those questions could change the face of agriculture here, and irrigation would have impacts on both the oil patch and the Site C dam.

“Before, we thought [a dry summer] was a one off,” said Irmi Critcher, a grain grower in the South Peace. Unprecedented droughts in once-lush growing regions of

California are adding to the anxiety.

“[Droughts like that] defi nitely could become a reality here too, which is why we’re trying to be a little bit proactive here,” Critcher said. “We’re kind of looking at it and saying ‘this might be the new reality, what can we do about it?’”

The Peace Region has historically been renowned for its growing conditions. The largest agricultural region in B.C., the Peace has long summer days that are ideal for growing cereal crops and canola.

Around 2.5 million acres are under cultivation — crops which pull in almost $100 million a year. It’s also wet, at least compared to other growing regions in Canada. When drought or other misfortune strike the Prairie provinces, the Peace has traditionally profi ted from the decrease in supply.

That means pulling water from reservoirs and rivers to keep crops healthy has rarely been necessary.

That’s changing.A drought in 2010 was

deemed the worst in 20 years. Last August, the province declared level-three drought conditions in the Peace — one step away from triggering severe water restrictions.

According to Critcher, while the heat did damage some crops, crop-killing grasshoppers were the bigger problem.

The worry is that drier summers are the new normal.

“It seems like it’s a broken record,” said Kevin Henderson, the city of Dawson Creek’s director of infrastructure, after the province declared a drought last August. “[Droughts have] been a fairly consistent thing over the past fi ve or six years.”

The Hutterites at the South Peace Colony, southeast of Taylor, began to have water troubles in the last decade.

The colony typically relied on treated runoff for potable water, said Mike Hofer, a Hutterite minster.

But decreased snowpack led to lower runoff volumes, to the point that the ground wasn’t saturated enough for the water to fl ow. It got to the point where it was a question of “taking

muddy water and trying to make it drinkable,” said Hofer.

They’ve since dug a well, he said, which feeds a reservoir. Most of that water is used for cooking, drinking and washing. Some is used for irrigation.

Hofer said the pivot will likely water a fi eld of barley this growing season, though it can be moved to douse other thirsty crops. That barley will mostly be used for livestock feed.

The South Peace Hutterites bought their irrigation pivot in 2007 from a colony in Washington State, said Colony Boss Ben Tschetter.

Irrigation pivots are a very rare sight in the Peace.

“When I took my kids down south a couple years ago, we were driving through the Okanagan and the Kootenays and they kept saying ‘why are there these big sprinklers in the middle of the fi elds, mom?’”

said Sharla Pearce, general manager of the grain producers

association. “It’s defi nitely a different region up here.”

It’s unclear whether the colony’s setup is workable for other farms in the region.

One of the main reasons irrigation has been fringe in the Peace is because of the water sources. River valleys in the region are cut deep into the landscape.

That means pumping, which would likely be expensive, especially compared to fl at growing regions with existing irrigation canals.

“You’ve got to make the climb over the hills,” said Clair Langlois, the Grain Producers’ research manager, explaining the diffi culty of drawing water from Peace Country rivers.

He’s optimistic about the potential for i r r i g a t i o n , but said the study will tell the tale. (An outside

consultant is carrying out the work, not Langlois himself.) He expects “trickle” irrigation would be the most realistic option — a “gentle, low pressure trickle onto farm fi elds” from small lines. That’s different from the Hutterite’s system, which sits in a valley below the reservoir. Gravity alone generates pressures between 35 and 60 PSI.

It’s unclear whether the cost of pumping water from rivers would be covered by grain crops, which have low profi t margins per acre. But it could open the door to other products.

“For those who are close enough [to water sources] to take advantage of it, there are speciality crops we’re not even

thinking of right now,” said Langlois.

“Even in a good year, we only get six inches of rain. But the sunlight is there, the energy is there. We could grow things like strawberries and cantaloupes if we had the water.”

Any discussion of water inevitably comes back to Site C. The dam, set to break ground this summer, would drown around 3,800 hectares of potential farm land. How the agricultural sector will be compensated for that loss is still up for debate.

Garnet Berge, the grain producers’ South Peace director, said the reservoir created by the dam could be game changing.

“In 10 or 15 years, what’s going to be the value of a body of fresh water like that?” he said. “They talk about the hydro value of [Site C], the electricity, but I think just the body of fresh water is going to be huge.”

The idea of harnessing that water for irrigation appeals to some farmers, but the cost of pumping and transporting the water would likely be out of most producers’ price range.

“I don’t want to jump the gun and make it sound like we’re going to start laying pipe tomorrow,” Langlois said.

Either way, irrigation would increase competition for water.

Province-wide, agriculture still dwarfs oil and gas in terms of water use. According to a 2010 study from the BC Oil and Gas Commission, more than 98 per cent of surface

water licenses in B.C. are for “non-consumptive” uses — mostly hydroelectric power generation. Of the remaining two per cent, 11 per cent went to agriculture, with mining and petroleum splitting around one per cent (another 14 per cent was licensed for other industrial use.) Oil and gas also uses considerable amounts of ground water — much of which is not potable.

In the Northeast, the opposite is true. According to a 2015 study, oil and gas eats up 32 per cent of all consumptive water use. Agriculture comes in fi fth place with six per cent, behind domestic (25 per cent) mining (20 per cent) and forestry uses (16 per cent).

The grain producers’ study should give some sense of how water hungry farmers in the region are.

Field work will kick into high gear during the summer, when demand is at its peak and river fl ows can be

measured at their lowest.At a time when droughts in

growing regions across North America are impacting the local produce section, irrigation would give growers in the Peace an added measure of certainty.

While there are still many question marks, Langlois is optimistic.

“If you’re asking if irrigation would be a good thing to have in the area, my answer is yes it would be,” he said. “We’re a land of extremes, put it that way. Either you get too much or to little. So [irrigation] would allow us to level out what mother nature’s not providing.” [email protected]

Mike CarterAlaska Highway NewsA few hiccups couldn’t stop

the show as the Dawson Creek Exhibition and Stampede put on what was, according to the head offi cial for Pro Rodeo Canada, one of the best rodeos in the country.

The eight-inch layer of dirt on the Encana Events Centre arena fl oor didn’t hold up Fri-day night, which caused some problems for a few different events.

“We had a few mistakes,” said co-organizer and Pro Ro-deo Canada head offi cial Terry Cooke. “We had a little problem with the ground and stuff down there and the rodeo went a bit too long on Friday because we had to fi x some stuff up.”

Despite that, the consensus among competitors and orga-nizers was that these annoy-

ances didn’t hamper the overall product.

Pouce Coupe’s Clayton Moore, who brought down the house last year with a tie for the top time in the steer wrestling event, didn’t do as well this year.

It was “not very good,” he said. “Actually I had a terrible weekend, but that’s the way it goes.” Moore failed to place in any of his events.

Moore’s sister, Chelsea, also did not fare well in the barrel racing event, fi nishing well off the prize list.

“She had no luck,” he said.Moore has been in the Unit-

ed States all winter, already competing in about 20 rodeos in 2015.

But none of them are more special than this one, which allows him to come home and perform in front of a home

crowd.“They’ve got a few kinks to

iron out,” he said of the event which is now in it’s second year. “But it’s getting better and better. I had better luck here last year so I mean, sure I was a bigger fan [then]. But, it’s still a good rodeo and it’s sure nice to get to come home and com-pete.”

Moore echoed comments from other competitors that the arena fl oor didn’t have much give, leaving more than a few cowboys banged up and bruised, one of the few prob-lems with simulating an out-door rodeo grounds inside.

“There is not a lot of foot-ing for barrel horses and calf horses to stop... just not a lot for them to get a hold of. That is something that they should defi nitely look at for next year,” Continued on Page 9

Unlike many immigrants to Canada, Gertraud Martschin had no interest in liv-ing in the big city – including during her first nine months in the country, spent in Montreal.

“I came from a small village in Austria,” Martschin says, over a cup of coffee in her lush garden in Dawson Creek. “That was my only experience in a big city and that was enough.”

Martschin moved to Montreal in 1975 with her husband Robert and two chil-dren, where they awaited citizenship. Back then, she says, it was a very different process to become a Canadian.

Born in Klein-Poechlarn, Austria, Martschin says whenever she brings peo-ple back – she has returned twice as the bandleader for the Kiwanis Community Band, most recently in the summer of 2014 – people ask why she ever left such a beautiful place.

“No one knows unless you’ve lived there. In a small town, everyone knows

you and as a teacher, you’re on a pedes-tal,” she says, adding that she taught el-ementary and special needs classes. “You make a wrong step and everyone knows and I made a major wrong step – I got di-vorced, you know.”

Following her divorce, Martschin met Robert – also divorced – and was already in the process of making the move to North America and encouraged her to move along with him.

“We married three days before we left,” she says, adding that they had known each other for about six months at the

time.They started off in Minnesota where

Martschin taught German for the sum-mer at a Benedictine Monastery that of-fered an exchange program from Melk Abbey near her hometown – where the band also played on their most recent trip to Europe.

They remained in the U.S. for the sum-mer, on the promise of returning to Aus-tria for the school year in September but they moved north into Canada.

In Montreal, Martschin says she Continued on Page 8

Continued from Page 7struggled with both French and Eng-

lish, making life and work difficult – though her husband was fluent in both,

as well as several other languages as a result of travelling around Europe in the service industry.

“What really saved me in Montreal was

playing accordion,” she says. She played at restaurants and bars and even wed-dings – she laughs at the memory of a trilingual wedding: French, English and German that she was hired to play for, only speaking one of the three.

They remained in Montreal for the nine months it took to receive residency, at which point her husband had heard of work in Cassiar, B.C – a town of approxi-mately 1,800 just south of Watson Lake, built up around an asbestos mine.

“As soon as we could get out of Mon-treal, we moved to Cassiar,” says Ger-traud.

While her husband worked for the mine, Martschin taught music and was a theatre manager for the community club. She also washed dishes for the mine cafeteria for some time.

“In those days, working in a mine like that, you were making $7 per hour to wash dishes,” says Martschin. “That was good money at that time, I would wash dishes for $7 an hour.”

Although Montreal remains her only long-term living experience in a city, Martschin says during a mine strike in Cassiar, they took on contracting in Cal-gary where she again found work playing accordion in a bar.

The bar owner offered for her to stay on for the year, but she says with two young children it wasn’t an ideal position – she says playing six nights a week also turned music into a chore, something she never wanted.

They moved back to Cassiar to con-tinue working, though music remained a key strand in her life, starting a small community band in the town.

Eventually establishing his own appli-cation repair operation, Martschin says her husband soon realized they would have to leave Cassiar to pursue the ven-ture.

“Cassiar was a company town, you had to work for the company to live there,” she says, adding that her husband would be out all night for appliance repairs, in addition to working for the mine. “He was working day and night for the company and his own work – my job wasn’t consid-ered company because it was in the com-munity.”

They moved south to Oliver, B.C., just north of the U.S. border for five years, but Martschin says business was difficult – noting that the ‘80s was a hard time to make a go of it.

“Somebody told us about Dawson Creek, that there was work and business was good,” she says. “We moved to Daw-son Creek with the whole shop.”

Initially coming up on contract with City Furniture, they eventually broke off to operate independently.

“We’ve been here since 1986, so for some Dawson Creekers, we’re old-tim-ers,” she laughs.

In the spring of 1986, Martschin says she saw a poster calling for musicians to play in the Kiwanis Community Band and she signed up – having a long history of both playing and teaching music in Can-ada and Europe.

“Accordion was my first instrument, growing up in Austria everyone started playing it,” she says. Martschin moved on to the clarinet and piano, and was an or-ganist for 30 years.

Continued from Page 5Moore said. “But, it is what

it is. It’s a great committee and they’re trying awful hard.”

Final numbers were not available by press time, but organizers said all indications were that Saturday night’s crowd should boost the show’s total attendance numbers above where they were last year, which is a good sign for the growing event.

However, Connie Patterson, president of the Dawson Creek Exhibition and Stampede isn’t

quite sure yet what the future of the Spring Breakup Pro Ro-deo looks like.

“What’s frustrating for us right now is that this is a beauti-ful building, but it costs a lot of money and that doesn’t count anything else that we have to pay for. The announcers, the judges, the band,” Patterson said.

“We bring the best, but we have trouble fi lling the seats. If we can’t fi ll the seats then there is not much point in us keep-ing on doing it. We can’t run it

in the hole. It’s such an opportunity for the people in this north country to get to watch what they are seeing.”

Four time Cana-dian Pro Rodeo an-nouncer of the year Brett Gardiner said that out of the 125 events he announc-

es each year, he may not see a better set of bareback events than the one he saw this week-end.

Gardiner believes it was the combination of bringing in the best livestock from the Calgary Stampede ranch in central Al-berta, and the best cowboys that Canada has to offer which made the event world class.

The word arthritis literally means in� amma-tion of the joint {swelling). It is a word that is commonly used to describe several joint dis-eases. Most people use the word when referring to persistent joint and back problems.

Arthritis can a� ect any of the joints throughout the body, limiting movement and causing signi� cant pain. Over time, it can deform joints, particularly in the hands and feet. Although arthritis can a� ect people of all ages including children, it most commonly develops in adults aged 40 to 50 years. For some inexplicable reason, women are more likely to develop arthritis than men.

Arthritis is characterized by attacks, followed by periods where the disease appears inactive (remission). Attacks, much like remission periods, can last anywhere from a few days, to a few weeks, to a few months. Attacks are characterized by fatigue, joint sti� ness (especially in the morning) and pain.

Only physicians can diagnose arthritis. Blood tests, x-rays and a variety of other examinations are performed to con� rm the diagnosis. To control arthritis and prevent joint deformities, early and aggressive treatment is important.

TreatmentUnfortunately, there is no cure for arthritis.

There are, however, certain drugs that can help alleviate the pain and slow the progression of the disease, thereby preventing deformities and long-term complications associated with arthritis.

The most common medications for arthritis are anti-in� ammatories {ex: Naprosyn®, Advil®, Celebrex®). They control daily in� ammation and relieve pain. It takes 2 to 4 weeks however, for these drugs to have an e� ect. Furthermore, they must be taken regularly to be e� ective. Because these drugs tend to irritate the stomach, they are typically taken with food to reduce this unpleasant adverse e� ect.

When there is persistent in� ammation in several joints for more than 6 weeks, stronger medications may be necessary. Drugs known as disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs {ex: methotrexate, Plaquenil®) can be combined with

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS SrinivasChalagalla

B.Pharm., PhD

the anti-in� ammatories. Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs slow the biological processes responsible for chronic in� ammation.

When dealing with an aggressive form of arthritis or one that has not responded to any of the above-mentioned treatments, biological response modi� ers {ex: Enbrel®, Humira®, Remicade®) are required. These medications rapidly reduce arthritis symptoms as well as the in� ammation responsible for deforming the joints. They are designed to suppress some of the functions of the immune system that cause rheumatoid arthritis. By suppressing these functions however, these drugs make one more susceptible to infections. Since these drugs are injected, irritation around the injection site is the most common adverse e� ect.

The Diff erence between Arthritis and Osteoarthritis

Many people confuse the terms arthritis and osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is characterized by a degeneration of the cartilage at the bone ends where the joints meet. This causes opposing bone surfaces to rub against one another, causing pain. The likelihood of developing osteoarthritis increases with age.

It can appear quite rapidly however, when there is signi� cant wear and tear on joints which is often the case with athletes and manual labourers, for example.

As for arthritis, it is characterized by in� ammation rather than degeneration of the cartilage. In� ammation caused by arthritis can lead to a variety of complications including bone degradation and joint deformities. Age is not a risk factor with arthritis. In fact, it can a� ect children and young adults. The causes of arthritis are many and include infection, injury, autoimmune diseases and hereditary factors.

People of the PeaceDCVC U14 girls grab silver at provincials

Dawson Creek Volleyball Club U14 girls brought home silver from Provin-cials held in Calgary on April 18th & 19th.

They finished first in their pool and won the crossover game against the Co-chrane Jaguars Red 25-20 and 25-18 to put themselves in a position to play for the finals.

In their fifth game they took the Strathmore Chaos to three sets 25-12, 12-25 and won their third set 15-7.

DCVC U14 went on to play and win against the Sherwood Park Panthers (25-

9, 22-25, 15-9). This win put them in the final game playing for first against the Red Deer Queens.

The U14 girls again took this match to a third set; however, were unable to pull off the win a final time, (25-15, 12-25 9-15) and brought home the silver medal.

Head coach Garry Mah explained consistently getting better was the key to success for the DCVC U14 girls this year.

“Through hard work the girls have consistently improved throughout the year,” he said. “It was satisfying to see

that hard work produce an ap-pearance in the gold medal fi-nal. With more hard work, they will undoubtedly find themselves in more gold medal finals.”

Continued from Page 10“When I came to Dawson Creek, the band

leader we had before me said he needed a bari-sax,” she says. “He gave it to me on the Wednes-day and on Sunday I brought it to my first prac-tice.”

Martschin says her saxophone and clarinet days are now over ¬– problems with her teeth have made the instruments difficult to play in recent years. She attributes the problems to the poor post-war diet in Europe that rotted her teeth, though having nothing to do with sweets.

“Accordion is it. It was the first and the last,” she says. “I have a big program for that because I en-tertained so much over the years.”

Through much of her life, she says, playing has been her source of income, though she prefers it to remain an enjoyable hobby. Similarly, she says she knew it was time to step away from her bandlead-er role when it became more of a job.

“I feel really good not having the responsibil-ity,” she says. “At one time I was thriving on it but in the last few years it got to be a chore. When it gets to be a chore it’s time to quit.”

“I played in the band until ’94 when the band leader left and handed it to me,” she laughs. “I had a retirement party…, now I’m officially done.”

The responsibility became onerous, Martschin says, the last few months of her band life was a blur of planning the band’s trip to Europe where they played 13 concerts in three weeks.

The band travelled to Italy, Austria and Hun-gary, playing in basilicas, a medieval castle and in Martschin’s hometown of Klein-Poechlarn – she explains that Klein means small, and Poechlarn is a larger town across the Danube.

“’97 was the first time I brought the band over,” she says, noting that the current group is a much more practiced and refined operation. “My grandfather was a bandleader, my father was a bandleader, I was the second when I left.”

Looking at the musicians in the community now, Martschin says a great deal has changed from her time.

“In 1959, my cousin and I were the first girls in the district to play in the band, it was all males,” she says. “Now, they couldn’t play without the women – the band leader is a woman!”

During their show in Klein-Poechlarn, Martsch-in was surprised with an award from the Lower Austria Band Association for her contributions over the years to music, both in teaching and lead-ing bands.

Another memorable moment was seeing her 90-year-old former music teacher who at their previous performance in ’97 had said the group did well with what Martschin describes as simpler pieces. The new lineup clearly impressed her for-mer instructor.

“Now, when we came back, I talked to him and he says ‘I can see you put 20 years of work in,” she says. “That was my moment, I really felt good about that.”
