  • GRAIN farmers are aggressively seeking land to rent... no pasture is safe. Roll it flat and hit'er," writes a farmer from northeast Alberta. "One fellow I know tells me his neighbour signed up for $65 an acre rent. Times that by 160 (acres in a quarter section) and no cow is safe. "This period from the early 1980s through to the new millennium was probably the worst of times for grain farmers in Western Canada. Interestingly, it was the time when the greatest advancements were made in terms of soil conservation and soil improvement," [Doug McKell] said. That was the era in which summerfallow ended, zero-tillage evolved, and seeding technology became less invasive. Meanwhile, programs encouraged farmers to retire land that was highly prone to erosion from annual cropping. Those develop...

  • [Ron Thiessen] also says that the "east-side First Nations and the province are taking the right approach." I think what he should have said is that a small percentage of east-side First Nations and the provincial NDP are taking "this" approach. Where he commends Manitoba Hydro for their west-side commitment, he "assumes" that letter readers will "presume" that the entire organization is behind this move. May I suggest the truth is far from it. There are several present and past Hydro engineers on record as opposing this idea. I would listen intently to a well-versed engineer.

  • I was a councillor for two years for two different times, and I sat on a lot of boards, hospital boards for two different hospitals, also the education board. I was involved with the powwows. I sort of got it started back in the 80s when I was president [of the band powwow committee] for approximately four years, and before that I was treasurer for, you know, small powwows. But this powwow that I was trying for, I was trying for it to be what it is today. And there was a lot of other work that I volunteered to do, like the sewing clubs and the women's clubs. Oh, I can't remember it all," said [Cora Thomson]. "I'm a person that can't sit still. I've got to be doing things. You know, I just enjoy working, even farming and just all kinds of work," said Thomson.

  • The proposed legislation won't do much to resolve the nutrient overloading in the province's waterways. It would do a great deal to further marginalize the kinds of practices that the province should encourage. The Manitoba Pork Council's "unfriendly Manitoba" campaign against [Bill] 17 is playing up the impact the legislation will have on small hog farmers such as George Matheson, who farms next to his brother Bill near Stonewall. What the ads don't tell you is that George -- a Manitoba Pork Council director -- is not a typical Manitoba hog farmer. At least not anymore. The massive expansion since the 1990s means operations his size account for only two per cent of the hogs produced.

  • As mentioned before, there are few studies of the Turkish Cypriot family. One important exception is Vamik Volkan's psychoanalytical study (1979) of war and adaptation. he notes: "The need of the individual to assert himself is secondary to the mutual identification within the family" (Volkan, 1979: 54). Volkan identifies several "peculiarities" in Turkish Cypriot family groups, in particular child-rearing practices and the role of the mother. Thus, though this family group still shares many traditional values, such as "(t)he patriachical, patrilocal and patrilinear characteristics of the extended family", and despite the fact that: In regards to child-rearing, Volkan notes the practice of "more than one mothering figure." (1979: 57) and goes on to argue: "In the extended family the upb...
