= Peninsula beef club hosts Nova Scotian exchange farmer

by Glenn Werkman
The Review

A national exchange program
for 4-H beef club members has
come to the Peninsula.

Wayne Oulton, 18, of the Anna-

polis Valley in Nova Scotia, is
spending two weeks with Saanich
Peninsula 4-H Beef. Club family
John and Fran Kennedy of Central
Saanich.

“Its pretty nice,” Oulton said
July 11 at the local club’s achieve-
ment day at the new Saanichton
Fairgrounds at Cumberland Farm
on Stellys Crossroad.

“Some things are different and
some things are the same.”

He finds the weather drier, the
forest and lush vegetation enjoya-
ble, but the cattle is much the
same. —

While here, Oulton will enjoy
some fishing for salmon, visit a
farm family in Cobble Hill for one
week and enjoy some of the best
hospitality Vancouver Island can
offer.

He’s from the 35-member Avon
Calf Club. Members back home
have more “exotic breeds” than
the dominant Herefords here, he
said.

Last year, Clayton Kennedy, 19,
traveled to a rural area outside
Toronto as part of the same pro-
gram. He went to a Toronto Blue
Jays baseball game and worked at
the Queen’s Plate thoroughbred
horse race.

“He had the time of his life,”
Fran Kennedy said. “It was his
first big trip.”

Brentwood Bay Royal Bank
manager John Smeathers said the
inter-provincial program in B.C. is
coordinated by an agricultural and
farm support specialist in Van-
couver.

The program involves one per-
son from each of several Eastern
provinces (Newfoundland-
Labrador, Prince, Edward Island,
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick)
exchanging with five people from
Western provinces.

Meanwhile, Sandi Cavanagh
received the Grand Champion

showmanship honors during the
annual achievement day with her
yearling steer Steel Magnolia.

Kim Kennedy and Baron were
named reserve grand champion.

Local 4-H members are prepar-
ing to auction their animals for
slaughter, with some destined for
buyers at the Pacific National
Exhibition and others going to the
bidding block at the Saanich Fair
during Labor Day weekend.

The 18-member club, between
the ages of nine and 19, is active in
the community with petting farm
displays, Clean-Up Week partici-
pation, extended care facility visits
with animals, and flower planting
projects.

In past years, members have
bagged and sold manure to garden-
ers as a fundraiser.

“We are trying hard to become
responsible and conscientious
individuals through our involve-
ment in 4-H,” a press release said.
