Letter from the PresidentFirst of all I would like to thank the board fortheir hard work and patience in the last twoyears of my presidency. In spite of the factthat it has been sometimes difficult to getpeople to help with projects and activities(as with most boards and organizations), Ireally think that we are going in the rightdirection now.
Because of the new laws being enacted, we must redo all of our bylawsand structuring of the chapters before October of this year. We areworking on this now. As of July, I will turn the President’s gavel over toChristina Marra and I will take up the Vice President’s position.
I will continue to work on the CGSB specifications working group and I
have also agreed to be Champion for the development of thedraft standards. In this role I will coordinate revisions of thedrafts based upon committee comments, for subsequentfurther committee review. The CGSB has formed a board andhas sent out the first draft of one section for comment. Wehave also sent out the framework section on the workinggroup. We know that this is a busy time of year but it would begreat to get some responses so we can get this specificationdone, passed and rewritten.
I hope everyone has an awesome, super busy summer.
Martin McCooey (Manager)Maritime Fence Ltd,[email protected]
FENCE FOLKSMy attempts to interest several companies in being the Fence Folksfor this issue have sadly failed. It may be just that summer is a busytime for fencers or it may be that they have the wrong idea of whatis involved in the process.
Debunking the wrong ideas:
Myth: There is a fee for being profiled on Fence FolksTruth: Absolutely no fee involved.
Myth: I have to write my own articleTruth: This is an option but most people prefer a short telephone
interview by “yours truly” lasting 10 -15 minutes tops.
Myth: I have no control over what is publishedTruth: Article is sent for your correction and orapproval
Myth: Only advertisers can be profiled in the FenceFolks sectionTruth:While advertisers are given first choice, we areglad to profile the readers businesses.
Hopefully this clarifies a few things and there will bea line-up to be the next Fence Folks business in ourfall issue. Now that would be “fentastic”!

Another year has passed and the CFIA Board of Directorswith a new slate of officers. As of July 1st, 2014, ChristinaMarra is President, Martin McCooeye is Vice-President, MartProst is Treasurer, Cathy Hofsetter is Secretary, and NickLeone is Director with Tony Marra as Ontario ChapterPresident and Kim Raymond as Quebec Chapter President.
There have been many issues that the National Board hasbeen dealing with in the past year. Martin McCooeye hasspent endless hours working on updating CGSB specs toconform with the many new chain link materials availabletoday that were not found 20 years ago. Thanks to the greatresponse from members and committees – it has helpedmove the process forward more rapidly. Martin is continuinghis efforts to get them competed under his term as Vice-President.
Also, the Board has had to deal with extensive bylawchanges and legislation rules regarding Non ProfitAssociations. These requirements will need to be completedby the new board before Nov. 2014.
Many companies have already registered for booth space forthe January 2015 Fence Craft Trade Show so I would adviseany participating companies to get their registrations andbooth choices made at their earliest convenience. We did sellout last year!
I hope everyone is having a great fencing season –workinghard, accomplishing much, and still finding time for self-indulgence with family and friends !Warm Wishes,
Mart Prost, Editor
The Fence Focus Team
hopes you're having a great summer.
Have fun and stay safe!

Publisher’s NoteAs the summer busy-ness, and perhaps craziness forthose in the fence business, gets underway a lot of youmay be wondering about being more effective leadersin your business. I just came across something by GlenFuruya on this subject. Glen invites us to considerbuilding trust as a step in the direction of goodleadership and breaks it down into Charity, Clarity andIntegrity. We exhibit charity when we give of ourselvesto the employer/employee relationship. Clarity requiresus to know our vision for our company and somehowcommunicate it to our employees and integrity is onshow in our lives with every word we say and everymove we make. Charity shows our heart, clarity showsour head and integrity shows our character.
On another note, the enthusiastic effort put forth by
the leaders of the Ontario and Quebec Chapters to reviveand make the chapters into vibrant, supportive groups hasbeen very impressive. The rest of Canada is conspicuous byits absence. There used to be Western and EasternChapters which have somehow gone silent. I would like toissue a challenge to those silent chapters to become onceagain important members of the CFIA. It would also behelpful to hear from the members being served by theactive chapters about what is attracting them to attendmeetings and participate in events.
Wishing you a fruitful, busy and safe summer.
Maureen Fodrek, Publisher, [email protected]
Welcome to our new Board ofDirectors (see below) and a bigthank you to the members of theoutgoing one! We owe a greatdeal to these hardworkingvolunteers who give of their timeand enthusiasm to keep the CFIAalive and active.

4 Easy Ways to Save Time & Money when Sealing Loops
1. Using a Flat Sealant TipSimply using a sealant tip is one of the easiest ways to save time on installations, are you using the correct kind?
Using a 3/16" flat sealant tip to seal the loop in one pass from the bottom up is one of the best ways to save a significant amountof time when installing saw-cut loops. Loop sealants tend to come in 2 packaging options, with a flat sealant tip, or with apointed tip applicator. Sealants with pointed tip applicators will often be a few dollars less expensive than sealant that can beused with a flat sealant tip, but the pointed tip applicators will require multiple passes and much more time to seal the loop.
The problem with pointed tip applicators is that they cannot fitdown into the bottom of the saw-cut groove, this means thegroove is filled with thick sealant from the top down. It takes awhile for the thick sealant to seep down into the groove and theinstaller will have to apply additional coats to fully seal the groove.Using pointed tip applicators often means you will be applying 2-3coats of sealant to fill the groove. After a long day of cutting inloops, the last thing any installer wants to do is slowly walk aroundthe loop pattern hunched over with a caulking gun any more thanthey have to. With the use of a flat sealant tip the groove can besealed for the bottom up in one pass! No more waiting around to do 2-3 passes to fully seal loops, and less strain on your backand knees.
We have discovered that most sealant companies offer a flat tip that fits into a ¼” wide saw-cutgroove. When we developed our preformed saw-cut loop we based our design around a 3/16” widegroove for a multitude of reasons:• A 3/16” blade costs less than a ¼” blade.• A 3/16” blade cuts faster than a ¼” blade.• A 3/16” blade uses less gas than a ¼” blade. • A 3/16” groove requires 25% less expensive loop sealant to fill vs. a ¼” groove.
¼” sealant tips will still save installers time when sealing loops, but will require 25% more sealant to fillthan a 3/16” groove.
As far as we are aware there is only one sealant manufacturer that offers a 3/16” flat sealant tip:Chemque has a 3/16” screw on disposable flat sealant tip for QSEAL 209S polyurethane sealant.
Flat sealant tips often come with a straight or angled opening, we found if you modify the tip bycutting the tip at an angle so that it allows the sealant to flow in 2 directions it flow more evenly in thegroove and helps prevents overflow waste.
2. Saw Blade Depth MarkQuickly set your cutting depth and save loopsealant.
Another simple way to save time and money is tocut your saw-cut grooves at the proper depth. Mostinstallers cut their saw-cut patterns too deep, whichwears the blade faster and a deeper groove requiresmore expensive loop sealant to seal. Therecommended cutting depth for saw-cut loops isbetween 1 ¼” and 1 ½”. The easiest way to set yourcutting depth is to mark your blade with a depthmark. Simply take a marker and spin the blade byhand while it is on your machine (and the machineis off ) to mark your cutting depth. Because the diamond segments are wider than the blade’s core the mark should not wear offquickly.
3. Rolling Work SeatSave your back and knees, and apply sealant more evenly with a rolling work seat.Imagine how much easier it would be on your back, knees, and neck if you could seal loops while sittingdown. Rolling works seats are generally marketed for gardening and can be purchased at stores such asHarbor Freight or Home Depot. Besides saving your back, using a rolling work seat makes it easier tomaintain a more even and constant flow of loop sealant and helps prevent sealant overflow waste.

4. Never use a 1/8” wide blade to make a groove to wrap your own loops.
Sure 1/8” width diamond blades are cheaper and cut faster than ¼”blades, but using a blade that is too narrow can cause somesignificant issues. The outer diameter on a 20AWG XLPE wirecommonly used in this industry is .118". The average width of a pieceof copy paper is .004"
.125” - .118” = .007”
If you wrap wire ina 1/8" saw-cutgroove theclearance aroundthe wire will be lessthan the thicknessof 2 pieces of copypaper. This is fartoo narrow forsealant to flow and
encapsulate the wires. Because the clearance is too narrow forsealant to flow air pockets will form. The bad thing about air pocketsis that when water freezes in the air pocket it will expand andeventually push the loop out of the groove.
4 Easy Ways to Save Time & Money when Sealing Loops
The other problem with air pockets- the loop windingcould slightly be moved from ground vibrations, if thewire moves it could cause a false trip or even worse, thedetector will lock up. We get a lot of calls from installersexperiencing this problem when they use a 1/8” blade.Do the job right the first time and save on repeatservice calls. Repeat service calls not only upset yourcustomer, but cost you money out of your own pocket.

KNOWING YOUR BUSINESS MATTERS®What’s Hiding Behind the Résumé?
Background Checking 101.

Barbara Stepic, CHRP is the HR Generalist at Federated Insurance, having joined the company in 1994. Her articles on human resources topics have appeared in numerous trade magazines across Canada.
Before you buy a used vehicle, you check its history. So why don’t we do this with the employees we entrust with our livelihood?When you hire for positions that handle high-risk aspects of your business, whether that means they’re the public face of your company, responsible for your business’ security, or tasked with handling money, how do you know if you can trust the people you’re interviewing to be honest and trustworthy? After all, the news is full of stories about employees who have defrauded or embarrassed their employers. How do you prevent this from happening to you?
�e bad news is, there’s no foolproof method to preventing this from happening at the hiring stage. But have you considered the example of schools, daycares, banks and airports who background-check key employees? It’s easier than you think. But �rst, allow us to provide some, ahem, “background”:
WHAT IS A BACKGROUND CHECK?
A Background Check is a detailed reference on a candidate, requested by an employer to verify and determine the candidate’s quali�cations. A complete Background Check will include a criminal record check, veri�cation of education credentials, employment history, credit history, and driving record. Depending on the situation you may require all or only some of the above be included in your recruitment process.
HOW DO I GET A POTENTIAL EMPLOYEE TO COMPLETE A BACKGROUND CHECK?
Before completing a Background Check, the candidate must sign a disclosure giving you permission to conduct the check. You need to ensure that you are following all laws that pertain to Background Checks as it applies to your Provincial and Territorial Human Rights Commission.
�ere are a few areas a Background Check can cover. A candidate is responsible for obtaining the information on their criminal record, education credentials, employment history, credit and driving record history from the appropriate authority and supplying the employer with original copies. Alternatively, the candidate can provide consent in writing for the employer to contact the appropriate authority to obtain the required information on their behalf.
• Criminal Background Check: �e candidate needs to go to their local police or Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) station and request a criminal record check be completed and obtain a Criminal Record Search Certi�cate or Certi�ed Copy. �ey will have to state the reason why the check is required, and if necessary, provide their �ngerprint and pay a fee to obtain the information.
• Education Credentials: An employer can check a candidate’s education credentials with the educational institute’s administration o�ces to verify the authenticity and completion of degrees provided by the candidate.
• Employment History: Have the candidate provide work references of former and present employers. Contact the Human Resources Department for each reference to verify employment, reason for leaving and if they are eligible for rehire.
• Credit History: �e candidate can obtain their credit and �nancial history from a Credit Bureau (e.g. Equifax or TransUnion). �ey will need to provide their Social Insurance Number and pay a fee to obtain the information.
• Driver Record Inquiry: A Driver Record or Motor Vehicle Record is provided by the Provincial Drivers Licence Bureau or Licence Registry. �e information con�rms

The thief that stole Reggie's Calendar, got 12 months.
A three legged dog walks into a Saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the Bar and announces, "I'm looking for the man that shot my Paw"
It is not hard to meet expenses ... They are everywhere
All Reggie asks, is a chance to prove that money can't make him happy
Reggie stayed up all night to see where the Sun went, then it dawned on him
Reggie changed his Ipod name to TITANIC, It's syncing now
Reggie's Girl Friend thinks that he is a stalker, well, she is not exactly his girl friend yet.
REGGIE WENT TO THE DOCTORS, THIS IS WHAT HE OBSERVED:Doctor: Are you troubled by improper thoughts? Patient: No, I rather enjoy them
Doctor, Doctor, I feel like a snooker ball Get to the end or the cue
Doctor, Doctor, I have a very bad wind problem I've got the very thing for you, here's a kite
Doctor: Does it burn when you pass waterPatient: I don't really know, Doctor, I have never really put a match to it.
Doctor, can you come around and see my wife as soon a possible?She is so ill that I had to carry her downstairs to make my breakfast

Closing sermonwords
A preacher was completing atemperance sermon: with greatexpression he said, "If I had allthe beer in the world, I'd take itand throw it into the river."
With even greater emphasis hesaid, "And if I had all the wine inthe world, I'd take it and throwit into the river."
And then finally, he said, "And ifI had all the whiskey in theworld, I'd take it and throw itinto the river."
He sat down.
The song leader then stoodvery cautiously and announcedwith a smile, "For our closingsong, let us sing Hymn # 365:"Shall We Gather at the River."
A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visiton his vacation.
He wrote: I would very much like to bring my dog with me.
He is well-groomed
And very well behaved.
Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me atnight?"
An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote:
SIR: "I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I'venever had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off thewalls.
I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk anddisorderly.
