The man not only talks, but he walks

By
 Man, those kids in the Wasa, B.C. 4-H Club are tough. I bet you don’t get membership there just on good looks and a great brownie recipe. It was great to have a brief visit with Bryce Bostock at lunch today.  He probably wouldn’t be a chatter box with me at the best of times […] Read more

A run to Drum

By
  I made a trip to the Drumheller Penitentiary Sunday to visit a rancher friend who is serving time. Apparently Revenue Canada caught him in a lie on his income tax forms. He claimed he made a nice profit in the beef business!  But, it was a good morning for a drive through farm country […] Read more

Darn those miracles! I feared this might happen

By

By

Bryce was […] Read more

Bryce is back (almost)

By
It doesn’t take much to make some people happy. Just a look is all they need. Young Bryce, who has been in a medically-induced coma for the past few days, following a serious accident Saturday, awoke briefly from this prolonged sleep shortly after 12 noon Wednesday and recognized his family. And minutes later as that […] Read more

Swathing tips

By
To say the weather this season has been extraordinary would be an understatement. The virtually non-stop rain that made spring seeding difficult is now making harvest a challenge. It’s not hard to find lodged crops in fields. Getting them swathed will test the limits of machines. In the last issue of Grainews, Lyndsey Smith had […] Read more

Waiting with Bryce

By
I spent most of the Sunday of the Labor Day weekend in the intensive care unit (ICU) waiting room at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary joining family members from south eastern B.C. in a vigil for a young man, who just a few hours before was a vital, living-the-moment teenager, but now lay hooked up […] Read more
