The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast is very happy to bring you a lengthy and educational discussion with Mr Andy Roberts, the long time proprietor of one of Canada's oldest and best truck driving schools - The Mountain Transport Institute, who specialize in teaching you how to navigate the Rocky Mountains while pulling Super B Trains at 140,000 pounds gross weight. Located in Castlegar, BC, and in business since the 1980s, Andy's school stands out as the most effective and high value truck driving school in the industry, where he has long term affiliations with established carriers and even trains drivers from American companies who want to upgrade their skills. Andy and I wander up and down mountains of information together, and he even schools me on one of my most hated topics, automatic transmissions. From his start in trucking, to issues with the bottom feeders who comprise most of his ‘competition', Andy shares with us his professional approach, and we learn along the way why his school has been in business for as long as it has, and much else about what it takes to succeed at trucking.As mentioned on the show, I first read about the Mountain Transport Institute in an old trucking paper which has now merged with the online realm - you can check it out here - https://driverschoice.ca/Andy would be happy to hear from you, and you can send any questions his way, or sign up for a course - andy@drivemti.comI'm working on a book about the fate of the North American Trucker in 2025 - https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorQuestions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are both welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

Anthony and Jodie say, "It is just the most epic, gorgeous views of nature, I think. And it's very accessible. I (Jodie) am an amputee, and so I'm always looking for ways to easily access nature. It felt like we were out in the middle of these beautiful spaces while I didn't have to do a ten-mile hike to do it. " "We've driven things like the Blue Ridge Parkway in, Virginia, North Carolina, we've driven highway one in California. We've RV'd across the entire USA. The Selkirk loop holds its own with any of those scenic drives." Leg 1: Spokane, Washington to Newport, Washington The easiest place to access the Selkirk Loop is from Spokane, Washington.

A Taste for Studies: Tortoise Urine, Armadillos, Fried Tarantula & Goat Eyeballs While eating study specimens is not in vogue today, it was once common practice for researchers in the 1700-1880s. Charles Darwin belonged to a club dedicated to tasting exotic meats, and in his first book wrote almost three times as much about dishes like armadillo and tortoise urine than he did on the biogeography of his Galapagos finches. One of the most famously strange scientific meals occurred on January 13, 1951, at the 47th Explorers Club Annual Dinner (ECAD) when members purportedly dined on a frozen woolly mammoth. The prehistoric meat was supposedly found on Akutan Island in Alaska, USA, by the eminent polar explorers' Father Bernard Rosecrans Hubbard, “the Glacier Priest,” and Captain George Francis Kosco of the US Navy. This much-publicized meal captured the public's imagination and became an enduring legend and source of pride for the Club, popularizing an annual menu of “exotics” that continues today, making the Club as well-known for its notorious hors d'oeuvres like fried tarantulas and goat eyeballs as it is for its notable members such as Teddy Roosevelt and Neil Armstrong. The Yale Peabody Museum holds a sample of meat preserved from the 1951 meal, interestingly labeled as a South American Giant Ground Sloth, Megatherium, not Mammoth. The specimen of meat from that famous meal was originally designated BRCM 16925 before a transfer in 2001 from the Bruce Museum to the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History (New Haven, CT, USA) where it gained the number YPM MAM 14399. The specimen is now permanently deposited in the Yale Peabody Museum with the designation YPM HERR 19475 and is accessible to outside researchers. The meat was never fixed in formalin and was initially stored in isopropyl alcohol before being transferred to ethanol when it arrived at the Peabody Museum. DNA extraction occurred at Yale University in a clean room with equipment reserved exclusively for aDNA analyses. In 2016, Jessica Glass and her colleagues sequenced a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene and studied archival material to verify its identity, which if genuine, would extend the range of Megatherium over 600% and alter views on ground sloth evolution. Their results showed that the meat was not Mammoth or Megatherium, but a bit of Green Sea Turtle, Chelonia mydas. So much for elaborate legends. The prehistoric dinner was likely meant as a publicity stunt. Glass's study emphasizes the value of museums collecting and curating voucher specimens, particularly those used for evidence of extraordinary claims. Not so long before Glass et al. did their experiment, a friend's mother (and my kayaking partners) served up a steak from her freezer to dinner guests in Castlegar that hailed from 1978. Tough? Inedible? I have it on good report that the meat was surprisingly divine. Reference: Glass, J. R., Davis, M., Walsh, T. J., Sargis, E. J., & Caccone, A. (2016). Was Frozen Mammoth or Giant Ground Sloth Served for Dinner at The Explorers Club?. PloS one, 11(2), e0146825. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0146825

Regardless of the method of transportation, by bike or by foot, Jenny Tough loves being in the mountains. I first had the pleasure of chatting with Jenny way back in Episode 3 after she finished the Atlas Mountain Race in Morocco. This time around we're talking about her recent adventure in the Silk Road Mountain Race where she was the fist woman across the line, completing the 1800km race, which boasts a whopping 35,000m of ascent in just 11d:14h:6mI had never met her in person until she tracked me down just outside of Castlegar this past summer, while I was on the return trip of my BC Epic yoyo. Definitely one of the highlights of that trip.Jenny @jennytough is an explorer, an endurance athlete and finds meaning by pushing her limits in the mountains. She has just completed a her major project of running a mountain range in every populated continent. The Tien Shan (Asia), The High Atlas (Africa), The Cordillera Oriental (South America), The Southern Alps, The Caucasus Mountains (Europe) and The Canadian Rockies (North America).Jenny uses her adventures as learning experiences and suggests people challenge themselves physically as an effective pathway to personal development. I couldn't agree more and it's something that I preach a lot. One of the biggest takeaways she has garnered from her travels is just how privileged Canadian women are. She learned this first hand while travelling to places where women are considered second class citizensIn this episode we discuss her adventures and lesson learned along the way. We chat about mindset, setting intentions, mitigating fear as well as other topics. I always enjoy our chats and hope you find inspiration and words of wisdom from this adventurous woman.Heat Waves - Glass Animals 2020 singleSave 25% off a consultation at Cycling 101 when you use the code MB40 at checkout.Save 25% at Dynamic Cyclist when you use the promo code MB40 at checkout.Thanks to Lakeside Bikes in Invermere for supporting me!Visit Rollingdale Cycle!

Welcome to One to Watch Wednesday, featuring independent and emerging Canadian artists and their songs!In the spotlight this week is BC's country songstress Lisa Nicole! She's an award winning and nominated rising star with a stunning voice and incredible songs! This was such a fun conversation!"Hailing from the mountains and nature of small-town Castlegar, British Columbia, Lisa Nicole grew up hunting, fishing, camping and embracing country music. As her childhood was sprinkled with the sounds of Shania Twain, Martina McBride, and the Dixie Chicks, Lisa Nicole discovered her own love of singing at the age of 8.

Hey Friends, today on the pod we have our pal Austen Bietenbeck. We first discovered Austen through Instagram, as he was promoting his short film "Passages; 400 Miles of Exploration", a film he made to document his epic run along the Kettle Valley Trail stretching from Hope BC to Castlegar. The journey was 400 miles, approximately 650 km, and took him 110 hours and 32 minutes to complete. This epic adventure was far more than just a physical feat, but was one of mental and even spiritual significance. Over the course of the run he battles the elements, his own discomfort, a close encounter with a cougar, and finds the will to keep putting one foot in front of the other. It is truly a hero's journey kind of ordeal.We both watched "Passages" the night it came out and both immediately knew we needed to get Austen on the pod. Our conversation flows from the reasons behind his run, and creating the short film and documenting it, to the culture of toxic masculinity, literature, and the necessity for modern rites of passage.Austen is a rad dude, with great style, deep thoughts, poetic sensibilities, and is one hell of a runner. Be sure to check this one out, and take the time to watch his beautifully crafted short film "Passages" you'll be glad you did.We hope you enjoy this episode!

Since they were a child, LEW POPPY has been involved in the creative arts, first through dance and then later through music as they became part of choirs and played several instruments. LEW POPPY was surrounded by creatives and in a time when Hip Hop was exploding, everyone around them was spitting bars and LEW POPPY's poetry soon evolved into rap lyrics out of the sheer competitiveness in them. After coming up against years of adversity in the music industry as a result of their sexuality and determination to not compromise on who they were, LEW POPPY released their debut single 'Thot Thot' in December 2020, which is now being followed by the debut album “Skirt Chaser” both under the name LPOPPY.

Place has a history, often we are unconscious of it. It is our responsibility to think about the indigeneity of our place and learn about different perspectives. We can help students develop a sense of responsibility for the land. Dr. Leyton Schnellert: Twitter @LeytonSchnell Website: https://leytonschnellert.com Today through zoom, Dr. Leyton Schnellert is joining us to talk about place-concious learning in the middle school years. Leyton is an associate professor in the UBC's department of curriculum & pedagogy and Eleanor rix professor of rural teacher education. He has been a middle school and secondary school classroom teacher as well as a learning resource teacher for K-12. Leyton has co-authored 7 books, including Student Diversity, Pulling Together, Developing Self-Regulated Learners, and It's All About Thinking. As a researcher, he has the opportunity to present his work throughout Canada as well as internationally. When thinking about outdoor learning and place-conscious learning, think to yourself:What needs to be transformed here?What needs to be protected here?What needs to be restored here?What needs to be created here?

Novelty Nature Note:My random nature fact is about Wildlife Trees or decaying trees in the forest and how woodpeckers are “primary cavity nesters” which means they dig out the holes themselves to live in. But the next year they move onto a new decaying tree and dig out another hole. This means that a “secondary cavity nester” can move into their old nest – these are often owls, kestrels, or swallows – so an animal that is unable to dig out their own hole. Leyton's Nature Note:The airport near him in Castlegar is nicknamed ‘cancelgar', because of the inversions in the air. The birds have to navigate a lot of weather challenges!He also talks about the forest fires and how that connects to the life cycle of trees.
Es un verdadero gozo recibir buenas noticias en estos tiempos. A nivel sonoro, Way Down in the Rust Bucket se ha convertido en una de las más agradables sorpresas del presente. La publicación de aquel concierto que Neil Young y los Crazy Horse dieron a finales de 1990 en el Catalist de Santa Cruz nos deja “Cinnamon Girl”, una de las canciones de más brillante ejecución de las 19 que conformaron aquel concierto y que hoy ha abierto TOMA UNO. Finding Wildflowers (Alternate Versions) se publicará a mediados del próximo mes de abril de forma independiente en vinilo y CD con un tema inédito como “You Saw Me Comin’”, grabado en 1992, es un nuevo reencuentro con Tom Petty y con su álbum más representativo. Los archivos son tablas de salvación de muchos músicos en estos tiempos de pandemia. El trío Midland no podía resistirse a ello y ha echado mano a unas sesiones grabadas y filmadas en la primavera de 2014 que se han convertido en el documental Midland: The Sonic Ranch. Tras la muerte de Jason “Rowdy” Cope, uno de sus socios fundadores, The Steel Woods ha decidido continuar su carrera y anuncia la publicación del que será tercer álbum del grupo para mitad del mes de mayo. “All Of Your Stones", el tema que da nombre al trabajo, es una canción casi autobiográfica que compuso el fallecido “Rowdy” junto al vocalista Wes Bayliss y Jamey Johnson. A pesar de las dificultades para ir procurando una cierta vuelta a las actuaciones, hay incluso festivales que están logrando sus objetivos, siempre con las limitaciones de aforo y, por supuesto, todas las medidas de distanciamiento y seguridad. El veterano Blues & Ritmes de Badalona se celebrará en la ciudad barcelonesa entre el 19 y el 28 de marzo con hasta cinco conciertos. Y nos alegramos especialmente del regreso de Luke Winslow-King, que se presenta el próximo día 21 junto a Roberto Luti. Mucho más lejos, en las lejanas tierras de Castlegar, en la provincia canadiense de British Columbia, encontramos a Son of John, un dúo formado por Johnny P y Javan Johnson, padre e hijo, que acercan un nuevo single como “Lonely Door”, sobre la pérdida de un ser querido que en la actualidad tiene un nuevo sentido, con las diferentes maneras en que se soporta una situación como la actual. Charley Crockett, siempre fiel a la tradición, acaba de publicar su tercera entrega de esta selección con su grabación más personal, 10 for Slim: Charley Crockett Sings James Hand, dedicada a la música y la figura de uno de las leyendas del honky tonk y con el que mantuvo una estrecha amistad en los últimos tiempos. Otra excelente noticia de estas fechas es saber del regreso de Jon Randall, con una nueva canción en 15 años. Uno de los mejores compositores y músicos de estudio de Music Row, ha regresado al estudio y “Keep On Moving” es su nueva tarjeta de presentación. Y volvemos a ser encantados por la renovada Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, que acompañada por Jason Isbell, Rosanne Cash, The War and Treaty, y Steve Earle apoyan a Feeding America, una organización para acabar con el hambre en Estados Unidos, cediendo sus derechos de una versión magnífica de “The Times They Are A-Changin’”, que lanzó Bob Dylan en 1994. Dave Alvin también ha aprovechado estos tiempos extraños para mirar en sus archivos y completar From an Old Guitar: Rare and Unreleased Recordings, descubriendo algunas de sus debilidades personales. El disco nos deja una versión intensa de “Highway 61 Revisited” que nos devuelve a 1965, cuando Dylan cantaba sobre aquella ruta desde su ciudad natal en Minnesota hasta Nueva Orleans en la que se resuelven todos los problemas. Hoy la despedida de TOMA UNO ha sido todo un golpe sonoro directo al mentón y a corta distancia. Se trata de Uppercut!, el esperado nuevo álbum de Los Widow Makers que fue grabado en directo y que anticipa su presentación del próximo jueves 8 de abril e n un formato más reducido y en el Teatro Muñoz Seca de Madrid.

“I didn't want to go back and regret anything... I don't want to look back and say, I wish I had done that, and I had the opportunity. I want to go through life just doing as much as I possibly can.” – Lorene MacGregor Lorene MacGregor was born and raised in Castlegar, BC and is the eldest child of four. Her drive to be self-sustained, overcome the fears she experienced as a young girl and do as much as she can with no regrets has produced some extraordinary results. Lorene always enjoyed movement and sport and the results from physical fitness fascinated her. She attended the University of Alberta from 1981-1984 to obtain her Bachelor of Physical Education with an Administration major; serendipitously the U of A is where she met Steffany Hanlen-Francey. Business and sport often went hand in hand for Lorene and in addition to being a Master Trainer for fitness leaders, managing sports facilities and golf courses, she also obtained a grant and started the first decentralized YM/YWCA in Canada. Lorene's motivation to take things on and thrive have been evident as a Body Shop franchise owner for nine years, a rental property owner, a successful realtor and within just a few years owner/broker of RE/MAX Home Advantage, western Canada's owner/broker of the year no less, and purchased the commercial building where her business resides in Castlegar. Sport was no different and at the age of 47 began training to compete as a Figure Athlete, achieving her goal of going to the Nationals at age 56! Lorene calls Castlegar home where she shares her life with her husband Kere of 33 years, once a school Principal and now her Operations Manager. She is the proud mother of two grown children Nikole and Mark and proud grandmother to Mercy, Amina and Harrison Fox. Her next goal? Cycle from Castlegar to Vancouver. Just another day and 700km cycle through the park! Show Notes [01:57] Patrick introduces his next guest live from TEDM HQ, Lorene MacGregor. [03:35] Patrick and Lorene get going and are ready to make a splash! [04:00] Lorene gets started with her elevator pitch and what she's up to in her life. [04:47] Castlegar, British Columbia is where Lorene calls home, so she fills us in on this beautiful little city. [05:56] A woman of many skills, Lorene talks a little bit about her turn as a franchisee of The Body Shop for 10 Christmases. [07:01] Lorene reflects on her Mom's desire to start a business and the fears which prevented her from starting. Ultimately Lorene feels she gleaned her own entrepreneurial essence from watching her Mom. [08:28] Lorene explains how she feels hunger was the great catalyst for her to achieve, get educated and stay motivated. Although she was never without three square meals a day, the fear and scarcity she felt from her parents drove her to think bigger. [10:58] In her early teens, Lorene's gut led her to really acknowledge there was more; and she was going to go after it herself. [12:04] As soon as she completed her high school education, she hit the ground running to Edmonton and the University of Alberta to achieve her Bachelor of Physical Education and Administration major. It was now her time. [13:22] Lorene remembers her first job, back in Castlegar, in the era of the Jane Fonda Workout craze. [14:12] Lorene describes her role as a Figure Athlete within the world of bodybuilding. Her curiosity back in University got her excited about her physicality and the way her body changed so she gravitated naturally toward body building which was reignited when she was 47. [18:04] Competing several times over the next nine years, Lorene achieved her goal of competing in the Nationals in August 2018 hitting the stage at her peak physical condition. [19:00] Discipline, training and fortitude is a common thread in Lorene's undertakings. She talks about her Body Shop franchise, how it played out and the opportunity it provided her and her team. [20:37] Lorene recounts the story of how she and her hu...

Forests are a part of Canadian identity, and are the basis of an industry that supports thousands across the country (and has for centuries.) While forestry’s past played a significant role in the development of many rural places, major shifts, including some as a result of climate change, are shaping a future that might look quite different from what we’re used to. Join us for a discussion of the future of forestry. You’ll hear voices (and sounds) from the Harrop-Proctor Community Forest, Greg Lay, a life-long forester, Dr. Sarah Breen, a researcher at Selkirk College in Castlegar, BC, and Dr. Philomena of the University of the Highlands and Islands in Inverness.

As the 2015 winner of the BC Country Music Association/Music BC Artist Development Project, Lisa Nicole is poised to become the West Coast darling of the Canadian Country music scene with the release of her breakthrough EP Come Find Me. Hailing from the mountains and nature of small-town Castlegar, British Columbia, Lisa Nicole grew up hunting, fishing, camping and embracing country music. As her authentic Country upbringing was sprinkled with the sweet sounds of Shania Twain, Martina McBride, and the Dixie Chicks, she discovered her own love of singing at the age of 8. By 15, she was playing regular jam sessions at Kootenay-area bars, which required her to be escorted on and off stage due to her underage status. In 2013, she made a strong entrance into the Canadian Country music industry with her debut EP It Got Ugly. She promoted the release with a coast-to-coast radio tour, including a showcase at the 2013 Canadian Country Music Association Awards. Lisa Nicole’s hot streak has only continued with the release of her 2016 radio single Where Love Goes to Die and her sophomore EP Come Find Me produced by Tom McKillip and Carly McKillip. Inspired by her recent personal journeys, Come Find Me will be supported by a national tour that will invite fans new and old to discover the talents of this Canadian Country music artist.

Broadband, Fibre, High Speed Internet. Whatever you call it, it is to the present and future economy what roads, rail and power were to the industries of the past. In the past, the Kootenay region could not have flourished if they didn't have the roads to get the gold, silver and timber out. Just the same, the economies of today and tomorrow cannot flourish if we can't get data in and out of the region. Following the great recession it was Roosevelt who started the often imitated economic development stimulus of building roads and infrastructure required to get the economy moving. As recently as the great economic crash of 2008 onward we saw vast billions of dollars going into roads and bridges. Those in the know however understand that to stimulate the economy going forward that money could be better spent installing data highways of fibre optic networks throughout the region. Dan Salekin knows this better than most. He has been involved in greater than a dozen IT start-ups, including the raising of a billion dollars to build the first coast to coast fibre network. Moving back to his home of Castlegar he pushed the Columbia Basin Network to consider putting money into connecting the Basin with Fibre. Several years later that has begun happening and Dan's own company Columbia Networks is offering the service in his home region that he's been selling to big centers across western Canada for years. I sat down with Dan in his Castlegar office to hear his inspiring backstory and learn just how important broadband is to the region, and how to make it happen.
An exclusive behind-the-scenes investigative report taking an in-depth look into alleged local food fraud. With the rapid rise in interest among North Americans to support locally produced food and with the premium people are willing to pay for that food, it leaves open an attractive opportunity for food-based businesses to take advantage of this new and growing lucrative market, either honestly or not. In May 2010, Deconstructing Dinner received a tip from a farmer in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia who alleged that a local business who sells eggs to 18 retailers and restaurants and who was marketing their product as being predominantly from their own farm, was not true. According to the tip, the "farm" was not a farm at all, and housed no chickens on the property! The business has also been marketing their product as originating from neighbouring farms in the Creston Valley, however, Deconstructing Dinner received yet another and very strong tip, this one in July 2010, alleging that that too might also not be true. As luck would have it, the property on which the business operates was up for sale, and on August 23, 2010, Deconstructing Dinner's Jon Steinman scheduled an appointment! Guests/Voices Jeremy Lack, farmer/chairman, Mad Dog Farm / Kootenay Local Agricultural Society (Tarrys, BC) - Mad Dog Farm is a small farm of 28 acres in Tarrys, not far from the City of Castlegar. Run by Jeremy and Nette Lack, and aided by their daughters, two dogs and three cats, the Lacks have a passion for growing, local agriculture and preserving heritage varieties of vegetables and other food crops. The Kootenay Local Agricultural Society is non-profit organization dedicated to the production and promotion of local agriculture and products. They are the owner and certifier of the Kootenay Mountain Grown label. Heide Stang, co-owner, Eggs R Uz (Wynndel, BC) - Eggs R Uz has been operating for many years as a registered egg grading station and supplier of eggs to 18 businesses in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. Bonny Kavaloff, co-owner, Nature's Den (Rossland, BC) - Bonny and her husband Sid operate this small health store in Rossland, BC. Cindy King, warehouse manager, Kootenay Country Store Co-operative (Nelson, BC) - The Kootenay Co-op is the largest independent member-owned co-operative grocery store in Canada. In business for 35 years, the store prides itself on supporting local producers whenever possible. Matt Lowe, busted backyard chicken enthusiast (Nelson, BC) - In the summer of 2009, Matt Lowe began raising four chickens in his urban backyard. The City of Nelson does not permit such a practice, and in June of 2010, Matt's household received a visit from a Bylaw Enforcement Officer! Other voices of people wishing to remain anonymous...
Over the past month, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (the CFIA) has embarked on a concentrated effort in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, threatening area businesses with fines unless they remove their ungraded farm-fresh eggs from store shelves. Close to a dozen businesses that Deconstructing Dinner is aware of have received such a visit This episode hears from a number of those businesses including comments on the issue from the BC Egg Marketing Board, the CFIA and the regional health authority Interior Health. While the availability of eggs from local farms in the region has been significantly curtailed following this "crack" down on local eggs, the increasingly popular alternative to store-bought eggs (backyard eggs) is too being met with a crack down of its own. In December 2009, Nelson B.C. resident Monica Nissen was paid a visit by a local bylaw enforcement officer who demanded that Nissen remove her chickens from her backyard, or too face a fine and the possible confiscation of her birds. The City's bylaw enforcement officer was acting on two supposed complaints... and we say "supposed" because according to all of Nissen's immediate neighbours, none of them took issue with the chickens... leaving Nissen and Deconstructing Dinner wondering just what constitutes a valid complaint if it clearly didn't come from an immediate neighbour? We'll also be joined by Nelson city councillor Kim Charlesworth, who recounts the past year's efforts to revise the local bylaw that prohibits backyard chickens within city limits and we'll hear from Ian Fraser - a senior animal control officer for Victoria Animal Control Services - a city that does permit backyard chickens and hence, backyard eggs. Join us for this important broadcast as we explore what Kootenay businesses and residents are calling an afront to food sovereignty following these latest efforts by local and federal authorities who appear determined to ensure that the only eggs easily accessible to Canadians are the factory-farmed options. Guests/Voices Kevin Smith, farmer/baker, Old World Bakery (Balfour, BC) - The Old World Bakery produces a line of baked goods for their own retail customers and many local businesses. Kevin Smith and his wife Darla also farm in the community of Ainsworth. Bonny Kavalov, co-owner, Nature's Den (Rossland, BC) - Bonny and her husband Sid operate this small health store in Rossland, BC. Wayne Popoff, owner, Kootenay Liquidators (Castlegar, BC) - Wayne is a hobby farmer just outside of Castlegar and operates a store that sells feed products and farm-fresh eggs among other things. Amyn Alibhai, board member, BC Egg Marketing Board (Kamloops, BC) - Since its inception in 1967 as the first egg marketing board in Canada with quota, the British Columbia Egg Marketing Board (BCEMB) serves as a non-profit, producer organization financed solely by its Registered Producers through a levy system. The BCEMB is one of eleven provincial and territorial egg marketing boards that meet under the umbrella of the Egg Farmers of Canada (EFC) to address industry issues of regional, national and international importance.

On this episode, we continue where part II of the Genetically-Engineered (GE) Free Zones series left off with Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser, speaking in Castlegar, B.C. on July 10, 2008. Percy helped launch the GE-Free Kootenays campaign. Also at the event was GE-Free Kootenays' Andy Morel who described the steps that the campaign would take in the coming months. Fast-forward to October 20, when campaign spokesperson Kim Charlesworth requested from the cities of of Nelson and Castlegar that both councils adopt a GE-Free resolution and become a GE-Free zone. Deconstructing Dinner recorded the presentations. Also on this episode - an exclusive interview with Percy Schmeiser and his wife Louise. Host Jon Steinman spoke with the Schmeisers about the couple's well-being throughout the heavy-handed intimidation exerted by Monsanto during their legal battle between 1998-2004. Percy also shared his thoughts about the GE-Free campaign. Guests/Voices Percy & Louise Schmeiser, Farmer, www.percyschmeiser.com (Bruno, SK) Schmeiser is a 77-year old farmer who, along with his wife Louise, have received global recognition for their passion and devotion to standing up for the rights of farmers. In December 2007, the Schmeisers were awarded the Right Livelihood Award (also known as the "Alternative Nobel"). "I have always campaigned on the right of a farmer to save and re-use his own seed. This is what I have been doing for the last 50 years. I will continue to support any efforts to strengthen the rights of a farmer to save and re-use his own seed." Andy Morel, Spokesperson, GE-Free Kootenays (Rossland, BC) - Andy is on the steering committee of GE-Free Kootenays. He recently ran as the Green Party candidate for BC Southern Interior in the 2008 federal election.

In January 2008, Deconstructing Dinner launched the first in a series of episodes that began tracking the evolution of a campaign that is working towards creating a region that declares itself free of genetically-engineered plants and trees. The first region in North America to become a GE-Free Zone was Mendocino County, California, back in 2004. Soon after, Powell River, British Columbia, became Canada's first. The Southern Gulf Islands of B.C. have also declared themselves a GE-Free zone, and since November 2007, a group in the interior of the province has been working towards becoming the third such region in the country. As Deconstructing Dinner has long covered the topic of genetically-modified organisms (G.M.Os) or genetically-engineered (G.E.) foods, Host Jon Steinman has lent his knowledge and experience to the campaign. Since November 2007, Jon has compiled many audio recordings of the campaign with the hope that other regions and municipalities throughout North America can use these recordings as a resource and tool if they too are wishing to create GE-Free regions. This series will hear from campaigners and politicians from Mendocino County and Powell River in order to learn how their GE-Free zones are holding up. We'll also explore recordings from the October 20th presentations to the Cities of Castlegar and Nelson, British Columbia, both of whom are, as this broadcast goes to air, contemplating the passing of a GE-Free resolution. On this episode, we listen in on the July 10, 2008, official campaign launch of the GE-Free Kootenays campaign. Featured at the event was the most vocal and well-known critic of genetically-engineered foods, Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser. This broadcast will extend into next week's show when we will hear the continuation of Percy's speech alongside a short presentation by GE-Free Kootenays spokesperson, Andy Morel. You can also expect an exclusive interview with Percy and his wife Louise.

Even before arriving in Lethbridge Gordon Campbell was an established Adult Educator, first in Regina and later as President of the College in Castlegar. Within his first year in Lethbridge, he was already pondering a possible gathering of citizens that would make a difference in the community. In typical Gordonesque manner, no sooner had the idea gelled, he had it up and running, albeit with a little help from his friends. Some of those friends from the early days of SACPA will speak at this special session. SACPA was Gordon's conception. Forty years later it is alive and well and still carrying out its original mission - providing citizens an opportunity to engage in the democratic process. This past winter, Gordon retired from the SACPA Board after a lifetime of continuous service and passionate commitment to the cause of public debate. Insiders know he has given countless hours to ensuring that, over the years, speakers at SACPA Thursday sessions were noted names from across the country and beyond. The people of Lethbridge are indebted to Gordon for this service. As for SACPA, it will always hold on to a piece of his heart. Speakers: Van Christou and Leonard Haney Van Christou is a founder member of SACPA. He is also a founder member of the Board of Governors at the University of Lethbridge and served as its Chancellor from 1975-79. Van and his late wife, Helen, started and have been instrumental in the development of U of L's World-renowned art collection. Leonard Haney is another founder member of SACPA. A highly respected member of the agricultural community, Len has served on school boards, the U of L Board of Governors and Senate and on a Royal Commission on Education.

It is an honour to coincidentally feature two of Canada’s finest on this broadcast. Both are recipients of The Right Livelihood Award (the “Alternative Nobel”). Water, The Blood of the Earth Water has long been taken for granted throughout the Global North. We use it in seemingly ever-increasing ways without thinking much about where it comes from, where it goes, and how much water was used to produce the many products/services we use daily. The food system is just one of these significant users of water, and the current state of water around the world is of significant concern. The Council of Canadians’ National Chairperson, Maude Barlow, believes water is the greatest ecological and human rights crisis of our time. In March 2008, Deconstructing Dinner recorded her speak in Castlegar, British Columbia. This segment will mark the beginning of a more concentrated focus on water issues on shows to come. Monsanto Pays Percy Schmeiser Saskatchewan Farmer, Percy Schmeiser, spent between 1998 and 2004 standing up to one of the most influential agricultural companies in the world – Monsanto. While it was Monsanto that took Schmesier to court on that occasion, the roles were reversed on Wednesday March 19, 2008, when Monsanto found itself being taken to court by Schmeiser. It was the first case between Monsanto and Schmeiser that led to the 2004 Supreme Court of Canada Decision that ruled in favour of Monsanto. While the decision assured that regardless of contamination, a farmer cannot grow patented seeds, Schmeiser recognized that if the company is indeed the owner of the plant, then they should be liable for the damages that their property causes others. There is yet no legal precedent in Canada that has determined who maintains the liability for damages caused by patented plants. Monsanto does however accept moral responsiblity for what are known as “volunteers” (unwanted plants appearing on farmers fields). The company employs a program that offers to remove volunteer plants from farmers fields. In October 2005, Schmeiser’s farm was visited yet again by Monsanto, and again, in the form of their RoundUp Ready Canola. Schmeiser took advantage of the company’s removal program, but discovered that they would only remove the plants if he signed a release form that contained a confidentiality clause, which he disapproved of. What followed led to an out of court settlement on March 19, 2008, and Monsanto paid Schmeiser the $660 it cost him to have the plants removed. Tune in to this broadcast to hear an exclusive interview with Percy by CFCR’s Don Kossick (Making the Links Radio) – the only media standing outside the courthouse on that momentous day. Also learn of the interesting dialogue between Host Jon Steinman and Monsanto’s Public Affairs Director, Trish Jordan.

Fermenting RevolutionHow many people out there would love to hear that drinking beer could save the world. One might ask, to save the world from what, and author Christopher O'Brien would suggest from climate change, from pollution, from corporate control of our lives, from declining levels of happiness, from increasing levels of stress, from gender inequality, and from communities that have lost their sense of community. Fermenting Revolution" is the title of the book released just last year by British Columbia's New Society Publishers. As we often critically examine individual foods or agricultural commodities here on Deconstructing Dinner, beer is of course no different from any other food. It's principle ingredients consist of water, barley (or another grain), hops and yeast, all of which are extracted and produced in ways that can either respect or disrespect the earth. We learn of beer and its role in leading a revolution in small breweries around the world. Soil Matters CSA I One of the greatest threats facing farmers today and hence facing our own food supply is the financial rewards found in the field of farming, rewards that are seemingly more often then not, in the negative digits. Many argue that food and agriculture should be removed from global trade regimes. One of the reasons for such an idea comes from a belief that farmers themselves should not have to bear the financial risks associated with such a volatile industry, and all people should equally share such risks as food is a need and not a desire. One alternative to the dominant food system is the model of Community Supported Agriculture, whereby a set number of people within a city or town become a member of a farm, and in doing so pay the farmers at the beginning of the season when farmers need the money most. Members who join are then guaranteed what is most often a weekly box of fresh produce. As many farmers know all too well how easily an entire crop can be lost due to weather, pests or unforeseen circumstances, members of a CSA share this risk with the farmer and on the other side can also share in the abundance. Just outside of Nelson, British Columbia, two intrepid farmers who only began farming a few years ago, have launched a CSA this year. Host Jon Steinman chose to become a member and document the process of creating a CSA and the potential for such a model to reconnect people with their food and provide farmers with a more secure source of income. This marks the first of a periodic series that will document the creation and evolution of a CSA.
