Weed-eating goats annual visitors to Lethbridge river valley parks
Article content Getting goats to like the weed leafy spurge takes a bit of patience, says herder Trent Cahoon. Article content Starting earlier this month, Cahoon has been looking over a herd of 205 goats that's been munching on the weed in two Lethbridge river valley parks. Article content Article content When Cahoon took the herd to the Blood Reserve earlier this year, he says the goats took four to five days to get hooked on eating leafy spurge, which he says the animals initially don't like much. Article content Article content 'It's like kids with broccoli — you give it to them enough and then they say it's alright and start asking for it,' says Cahoon. Article content Article content And now leafy spurge is the first thing they'll go for. Article content The southern Alberta Hutterite colony where Cahoon gets the goats from ends up with fat goats that will fetch a good price at market, he says. Article content A 2013 City of Lethbridge report on the state of the river valley health identified leafy spurge as its top problem weed, says Jackie Cardinal, the city's parks natural resource coordinator. Article content 'It's a little tricky to deal with, because a lot of our river valley parks are quite naturalized. We don't want to go in and use a lot of chemicals; we don't want to go and mow large areas of it.' Article content Article content The situation left the city at an impasse, but in 2018 Robert Fink of the Creekside Goat Company suggested the city try goats. The city was impressed with the results of a pilot program that fall, and the next summer started a targeted program focused on reducing leafy spurge. Article content Ever since, the City of Lethbridge has been using goats to cut down on weeds. Goat were used in two parks for the first five years, and last year they started going to a third park. Article content Left unchecked, leafy spurge takes over native plants, chocking out the grass and all the forage the city wants to grow. Article content 'There will be fields of yellow — and not the good kind of yellow,' says Cardinal. Article content By using the goats, the city targets removing 80 to 90 per cent of the flower head during the first round. The goats make a second round in mid-August, as the leafy spurge does regenerate. Article content 'It's really cool to see before and after when they've been through a park. Before, plumes fields of yellow everywhere, and afterwards it's like the yellow was never there,' says Cardinal, who'd like to see the program expanded to more of the city's river valley parks.

Where will Maxime Raynaud's breakout at Stanford land him in 2025 NBA Draft?
Maxime Raynaud didn't distinguish himself in his first two seasons at Stanford as he averaged a combined 6.9 points and 5 rebounds per game. Then the 7-foot Frenchman blossomed as a junior, bumping those averages to 15.5 and 9.6, respectively. He then took his game to another level as a senior this past season, averaging 20.2 points and 10.6 rebounds en route to earning first-team All-ACC honors. With the NBA draft set for this week, Raynaud seems likely to earn the distinction of becoming a late first-round pick Wednesday or -- at worst -- an early second-round choice Thursday. How has Raynaud risen from someone who started just five games as a freshman to someone on the precipice of joining the NBA? He'll tell you it stems from putting in the time and effort. 'You just work,' Raynaud said in a phone interview Thursday morning. 'You get better every year. You stick to your process, stick to your routine and eventually you get better. That's what four years of college are for.' Raynaud received his degree in computer science this month. After the 2023-24 season, Raynaud entered the transfer portal, but he opted to remain on The Farm and become the anchor of Kyle Smith's first season as the Cardinal's head coach. 2025 NBA Draft In his previous job as Washington State's head coach, Smith certainly knew of Raynaud. Once Smith got to know Raynaud personally, the Paris native impressed Smith both on and off the court. 'He does have the growth mindset, which is usually the separator for most of the guys,' Smith said. 'The ability to work through your weaknesses and add a little dimension (to your game), I think he was able to do that every year.' The Cardinal went 21-14 in 2024-25, including 11-9 in the ACC. Smith ran the offense through Raynaud, which enabled the big man to expand his game as a passer and as a 3-point shooter. He went 67-for-193 from beyond the arc as a senior. In his first three seasons combined, Raynaud was 45-for-130 from long range. 'They just gave me a lot of freedom,' Raynaud said of Smith and his staff. 'We meshed pretty well. They really had confidence in me and my abilities, so that helps a lot.' Smith believes Raynaud is NBA-ready in terms of his proficiency in hitting corner 3's and his ability to switch onto smaller players when necessary. 'What people don't know is he can really move his feet defensively,' Smith said. He likened Raynaud to the Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk and the Lakers' Maxi Kleber. Raynaud is listed at 237 pounds and Smith thinks Raynaud 'still needs to get stronger, more physical. He can become a better shot blocker.' Smith quickly added that one reason for Raynaud's relatively low number of blocks (50) this past season was a result of the coaching staff telling him not to leave his feet to attempt to block a shot. The Cardinal simply could not afford to have Raynaud get into foul trouble. Raynaud apparently raised his draft stock with a strong performance at the combine in Chicago last month. 'He looked like an eight-grader playing with sixth-graders,' Smith said. Raynaud estimated that he has worked out for about 10 teams. Last year, one of Raynaud's former teammates, forward Harrison Ingram, got taken by the Spurs in the second round. Barnes had spent his first two seasons with the Cardinal before he transferred to North Carolina. The most recent player drafted directly from Stanford was forward Ziaire Williams, the 10th overall pick in 2021 by New Orleans. The Pelicans quickly dealt Williams to Memphis. He played three seasons with the Grizzlies and this past season with the Nets.

So you still get the bird vibes, but with a unique name many may not know about! Another birdlike name is Avis, a truly stunning girls name that's Latin for 'bird.' The name Aya has many different meanings, all over the world. However, if you look at the Hebrew meaning, Aya is a name linked to the 'honey buzzard' and birds in general.

The name Birdie is quite simple: it's English for bird, but it has so much personality attached to it. Fun fact: two celebrity mamas have named their children birdie, Actress Busy Philipps and soap star Maura West! Just throwing this in there to see if you were paying attention!
