Sandy Christensen’s Saskatchewan Folks illustrated rural life in clay

By Dan Archer Although food from Fresh Start was available in Assiniboia’s Shurniak Gallery during the province’s cautious and phased reopening, the gallery and exhibits weren’t accessible for the public since March.

The closure of the gallery on 122 Third Avenue West, meant the public weren’t able to enjoy Sandy Christensen’s charming display, Saskatchewan Folks, until later this summer.

“Sandy Christensen brought her work at the be-

ginning of March 16, but due to COVID-19, we closed on March 16,” said Gail Mergen, consultant and assistant curator at the Shurniak.

In accordance with the second part of Phase 4 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan, libraries, museums, galleries, movie theatres and live theatres were allowed to reopen on June 29.

The doors to the Shurniak have been unlatched for visitors at limited hours.

“We’d really like to invite people to come. We’re open Tuesday to Friday, 10-4:30

Although Christensen’s exhibit was supposed to conclude at the end of May, the dates to see Saskatchewan Folks have been extended until August, soon after the gallery reopened.

“Our feature artist since early March has been Sandy Christensen from the Watrous-Manitou Beach area,” Mergen said. “We have extended her show past its May 31 end date until the end of August to allow visitors and locals to see her delightful assortment of

rural folks.”

Viewing and studying Christensen’s figurines is similar to watching a Claymation feature of small-town life in Saskatchewan.

Christensen realistically interpreted and recaptured moments of rural Saskatchewan with diorama-like precision.

Coffee shop discussions, snapshots of farming scenes and interactions with pet dogs have been lovingly sculpted by Christensen in astonishing detail.

“My hands love the malleable properties of clay. With

clay, I find the confidence to express what I see and love in rural Saskatchewan,” Christensen said.

Each of Christensen’s statuettes overflow with convincing movements, emotions and humanlike characteristics. These figures – so painstakingly created – are authentic representations.

“Clay allows me to shape my observations of farmers and town people, the folks with whom I have lived all my life,” Christensen said.

“Rural people communicate and laugh easily with one another. They are both

Christensen is a juried member of Saskatchewan Craft Council. She’s also a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan’s Art and Design Program.

Her studio is located at 114 Eighth Avenue West in Watrous – a town situated 261 kilometres north of Assiniboia on Highway 2.

Thanks for Farming Tour by Thunderstruck Ag Equipment visits Assiniboia

By Dan Archer “ We ’r e t r a v e l l i n g across Western Canada through the prairie provinces,” said Liz Hernandez of Thunderstruck Ag Equipment. “We started in Manitoba, then we went to Alberta, and now we’re in Saskatchewan.

Assiniboia was our first stop in Saskatchewan,” Hernandez added.

T h u n d e r s t r u c k ’s Thanks for Farming Tour convened in the Prince of Wales Cultural and Recreation Centre at 201 Third Avenue West on July 24.

The show in the curling rink and the Conexus auditorium started at 113 p.m. and continued in the afternoon with meal breaks.

“We usually have a lot more people than this,” said Jeremy Matuszewski, President and Sales Manager for Thunderstruck.

“So far, there’s been 15 no-shows. Still, it’s been a good day. Eight farmers showed up,” Matuszewski explained, as he described the turnout during the early part of the afternoon.

“We anticipated the numbers would be down because of the outbreak,” Matuszewski said, as he further portrayed the beginning of Saskatchewan leg of their tour. Extra Saskatchewan dates for Thunderstruck’s Thanks for Farming Tour included Craik, (July 27) and North Battleford (July 29).

Overall, the tour through the Canadian Prairies had been a posit iv e e x p e r i e n c e f o r Matuszewski and his team, despite having to manage this on-the-road event during a pandemic, where sanitizing protocols and social distancing

measures were included.

“Alberta and Manitoba were both really good,” Matuszewski noted, describing the tour before it had reached in Assiniboia.

The tour included a presentation of innovative agricultural equipment arranged in the curling rink.

Also, Lesley Kelly from Watrous spoke on the emotional pressures encountered by producers in the auditorium.

“My talk was on mental health and stress in agriculture,” Kelly said.

Kelly is a member of the board for The Do More Agricultural Foundation, a non-profit focussing on mental health across Canada. “Do More in Agriculture is a nonprofit, and they’re champions of mental health for our farmers,” Kelly emphasized Kelly writes a blog titled High Heels and Canola Fields. She’s also a co-host with Rob Sharkey in the What The Farm podcast, which delves into topics regarding food production and the agricultural industry’s relationship with consumerism.

In addition, Warren Ward of the Canola Council – an agronomy specialist from Yorkton – gave a lecture on plant diseases affecting canola.

Thunderstruck Ag Equipment brought a much-needed cash infusion for local businesses, with Fresh Star catering the food at the d a y - l o n g eve n t . 1 2 1 Steakhouse provided the beer for the tour.

Moreover, Thunderstruck Ag Equipment presented a $1,000 donation to the Rockglen 4-H club on Friday.

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER

Saskatchewan Health Authority offers apology to the family and friends of Samwel Uko Statement on behalf of Scott Livingstone, CEO “SHA officials have met with members of the Uko family and formally apologized for the events that transpired in our facilities prior to the passing of Samwel Uko on May 21, 2020.

“Our sincerest condolences go out to everyone affected by Samwel’s passing and most especially his parents and extended family. Samwel was a vibrant young man who sought help from us and we failed to provide him the timely assistance he needed. There are no words that can bring Samwel back, but I do want the public to know that we recognize how deeply we failed him.

“As an organization, we are committed to enhance access to mental health supports across Saskatchewan. Samwel’s tragic experience with our health system will strengthen our resolve to advance this work.

“We thank Samwel’s family for their participation in our review of his care and for accepting our formal apology.”

In the early evening of May 21, 2020, Samwel Uko sought help from the Emergency Department at Regina General Hospital and was denied care.

Facts about the situation point to multiple factors influencing this tragic outcome rather than a

single cause, including (but were not limited to) conflicting information on the patient’s identity; the process for registration of an unidentified patient was not utilized; information sharing practises with key partner organizations; the processes involving the removal of patients and/or visitors.

Additional areas for improvement were also identified around adaptation of COVID-19 screening practices, better coordination of mental health supports in the Emergency Department and additional staff awareness of Stop the Line protocols aimed at avoiding potential harm.

Plan to reopen Fort Walsh on July 21

Fort Walsh National Historic Site has been scheduled to reopen with limited visitor services starting Photo by Hogarth Photography on July 21, 2020.

Saskatchewan’s crops are in a comparatively good condition and developing Crops remain in relatively good condition and are advancing quickly for the period of July 14-20, thanks to recent rain and warm weather.

Provincially, 89 per cent of fall cereals, 77 per cent of spring cereals, 74 per cent of oilseeds and 84 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year.

With further hot temperatures in the forecast, many crops are expected to quickly catch up. Some crops in southern areas are beginning to dry-down and local producers expect harvest operations to begin in the coming weeks.

Rainfall varied through-

out the province this past week with many regions receiving at least half an inch. The Kuroki area in the east central region received the greatest amount of rainfall with 51 mm.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent surplus, 84 per cent adequate, 11 per cent short and one per cent very short.

Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as three per cent surplus, 74 per cent adequate, 18 per cent short and five per cent very short.

Haying continues in between rain showers, although frequent rain and high humidity has prevented drydown of many hay crops.

Livestock producers

now have 22 per cent of the hay crop cut and 20 per cent baled or put into silage.

Hay quality is currently rated as 10 per cent excellent, 65 per cent good, 18 per cent fair and seven per cent poor.

Hay yields have been below normal for many producers and most are unsure if a second cut is possible this year.

Estimated average dryland hay yields at this time are 1.3 tons per acre for alfalfa, 1.2 tons per acre for alfalfa/bromegrass, 1.0 tons per acre for other tame hay, 0.8 tons per acre for wild hay and 1.8 tons per acre for greenfeed.

Estimated average irrigat-

ed hay yields are 2.4 tons per acre for alfalfa, 2.5 tons per acre for alfalfa/bromegrass and 2.0 tons per acre for greenfeed.

Crop damage this past week was attributed to localized flooding, hail, strong winds and lack of moisture.

Diseases such as root rot, ascochyta and other leaf spots are being scouted, while insects such as grasshoppers are being sprayed.

Many producers continue to spray fungicides on crops as weather and field conditions permit.

Farmers are busy haying, applying fungicides, scouting for disease and insects and getting equipment ready for harvest.

Invasive mussels found in out-of-province boat purchase Ministry of Environment inspectors intercepted a boat contaminated with invasive mussels during a routine inspection on July 3.

The watercraft, purchased outside of Saskatchewan, was checked at an inspection station on Highway 16, near the Manitoba border. When the mussels were discovered, ministry inspectors informed the owner and completed a full decontamination of the boat.

“This is very good news, and shows that Saskatchewan’s efforts to protect our waterbodies from aquatic invasive species are working,” Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. “It also highlights the importance of making sure all watercraft purchased outside the province, especially from

jurisdictions known to have such species, are inspected before being launched in Saskatchewan waters.”

The ministry now has eight mobile watercraft decontamination units to support its aquatic invasive species (AIS) inspection and decontamination program, set up at fixed points on the Manitoba border, with others strategically placed throughout the province. The U.S. border remains closed to non-essential travel at this time.

Saskatchewan coordinates watercraft inspection with Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia to prevent AIS from entering Western Canada.

The inspection station that intercepted the mussels was opened in 2020, as part

of the ministry’s expansion of its watercraft inspection program.

“It can be almost impossible to get rid of these invasive species once they become established, so investments in prevention are critical, potentially saving millions in annual management costs,” Duncan said. “In addition to roadside boat inspections and decontaminations, our program focuses on public education, including the Clean, Drain, Dry Program for watercraft, and ongoing monitoring of our province’s waterbodies for AIS

threats.”

Please remember to remove drain plugs on all watercraft while transporting watercraft in the province - it’s the law.

To find out if your watercraft is high-risk and requires an AIS inspection, call the ministry’s Inquiry Centre at 1-800-567-4224.

AIS are plant, animal and invertebrate species that threaten our waterways and can damage aquatic habitat, fisheries, valuable recreational resources and important power generation, irrigation and municipal water infrastructure.

Tim Panas, Public Relations and Communications Officer, Saskatchewan South Field Unit Fort Walsh National Historic Site has been scheduled to reopen with limited visitor services starting on July 21, 2020.

REACHING ABOVE AND BEYOND

STAY SAFE IN THE SUN Sunscreen is an important part of a complete sun protection strategy. Before heading outdoors, follow these steps to maximize your sunscreen's protection: • Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that provides both UVA and UVB protection.

• Always use a sunscreen with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30 or higher.

• Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before venturing outside to allow the sunscreen to bind to your skin.

• Reapply sunscreen every two hours of exposure and immediately after swimming or excessive sweating.

• Use sunscreen on every part of your body that is exposed to the sun, including those easy-to-miss spots: the tops of your ears, back of your neck, part line on your scalp, tops of your feet and behind your knees.

• Apply enough sunscreen to cover all areas that clothing will not cover. About one ounce - roughly the size of a golf ball - is needed to cover the body fully.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer defied Nazism until his death in 1945

R

adical Integrity, The Story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer by Michael Van Dyke, (Barbour Books), retold the history of Germany’s eminent Lutheran theologian, starting with his birth in Breslau (a city in Lower Silesia, now in Poland) to a well-to-do family.

This remarkable theologian who wrote The Cost of Discipleship – a study on the Sermon on the Mount – refused to assent the requirements of the Nazi regime, even as many German Protestants were swayed by Hitler’s anti-Semitic and nationalist views – these Christians joined the Reich Church.

Two months before Hitler’s rise to power in November 1932, the German Protestants were divided between the Old-Prussian Union Evangelical Church, the nationalistic Deutsche Christen movement and the Young Reformers.

Bonhoeffer immediately became a reformer.

The pastor, theologian, writer and spy’s life ended with stark years spent in various prisons under the Nazi regime until Bonhoeffer’s execution.

In a time of political turmoil, Dietrich Bonhoeffer remained a man of integrity, as the Nazis increased their control over the nation’s churches.

Van Dyke wrote: “In the spring of 1933, those in the German Lutheran Church who sided with the Nazis began to try to gain control over the National Church as whole.”

A member of the German resistance movement, Bonhoeffer was killed in the Flossenbürg concentration camp on April 9, 1945, before the Allies arrived to liberate Germany.

Some German Christians were entranced with Hitler’s chauvinistic fervour and racial exceptionalism, but Bonhoeffer had been an outspoken leader in the Confessing Church in the early years of the Nazi regime.

The Bekennende Kirche (Confessing Church), intended to uphold Biblically based Christian beliefs and practises.

The Confessing Church understood that Christ, not the Führer, acted as the head Germany’s church.

Van Dyke wrote “In the early months of resistance (or the Confessing movement, as it would come to be known), Dietrich worked energetically with others to make a break from the German National Church.”

Bonhoeffer produced a radio address two days after the Nazis officially came to power, defying Hitler and cautioning Germany about the developing cult surrounding the Führer, who the theologian, in a sarcastic wordplay, referred to as the Verführer (translated as misleader, or seducer).

Bonhoeffer’s broadcast was cut off in mid-sentence.

Bonhoeffer was also influenced by the ecumenical movement – a vast undertaking seeking to nurture Christian unity across denominations and around the world.

He left Germany in the autumn of 1933, to become a pastor at a German Lutheran Church in London.

While in England, Bonhoeffer hoped to use a network through ecumenical movement to support the Confessing Church in Germany.

Bonhoeffer had been a world-traveller long before he became a lecturer in systematic theology at the University of Berlin in 1931.

Previously, he served as an assistant pastor in Barcelona 1928.

Later, Bonhoeffer travelled to America and took postgraduate studies in New York’s Union Theological Seminary in 1930. But as Bonhoeffer pastored the church in London, he couldn’t stop reflecting on the Christians who were suffering at home under Nazi rule.

“His decision to leave was made on the spur of the moment, and it would soon plague his conscience, making his hiatus not entirely peaceful,” Van Dyke noted.

Bonhoeffer decided to return to Germany in 1935. He became the head at an underground seminary in Finkenwalde for training Confessing Church pastors.

“By the summer of 1936, the Finkenwalde seminary had become known as a spiritual boot camp for the advance guard of the Confessing Church.” (Van Dyke).

A fascinating story about a courageous hero, Michael Van Dyke’s book also explores aspects of Bonhoeffer’s theological beliefs.

In the Cost of Discipleship, published in 1937, Bonhoeffer talked about the differences between cheap grace and costly grace.

Van Dyke discussed Bonhoeffer’s position on the two versions of grace.

“He (Bonhoeffer) characterized costly grace as the grace that leads the recipient into a walk of obedience and true faith.”

Bonhoeffer’s faith was based on Christ’s words and spirit, rather than the church as a weapon of officialdom, representing the absurd and triumphalist will of a far-right dictatorship.

He left Germany again for a brief stay in New York in June 1939, but returned soon after.

After Bonhoeffer resettled in Berlin, he joined the Abwehr, a German military intelligence organization – during this time, he worked as a double agent for the resistance.

“He travelled back and forth between Munich and Switzerland, meeting with contacts that had access to foreign leaders.” (Van Dyke).

Bonhoeffer’s links with the resistance deepened and the Nazis grew suspicious of him once more.

His book on ethics remained unfinished, when Bonhoeffer was arrested by the Nazis in April, 1943. Although Bonhoeffer would remain incarcerated for the rest of his life until his death shortly after, his Christian faith remained strong.

In the book’s epilogue, Van Dyke wrote: “Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s life can serve as a model for twenty-first-century Christians who are faced with the prospect of newly emerging paganisms and overweening rulers.”

Political support for rural voters I’m a farmer who found Mr. Marit’s letter stating the NDP has done nothing for rural Saskatchewan to be most interesting.

He didn’t mention what the Sask Party has done to rural Saskatchewan.

They have put a six per cent tax on insurances, a six per cent tax on building materials and on the labour. The Sask Party put a six per cent tax on farm gasoline. This is way more than the carbon tax the federal government is proposing.

Yet, we are supposed to ignore these new taxes, while being outraged at the federal government.

The Sask Party supports private corporations’ efforts to take control of seed ownership. This is forcing farmers to use seed that they buy from corporations. And they must pay royalties on every bushel sold. Failure to comply can result in fines

and seizure of equipment.

I’m not sure why Marit mentioned guns. It’s obvious he isn’t going hunting for better services to rural Saskatchewan.

What he will be using is a rod and reel, as he trolls for red herring.

He is hoping to find a way to convince rural people to continue to believe the Sask Party is actually working for us.

It takes very little digging to see that the Sask Party runs a tax and spend program that negatively impacts rural communities.

All we have seen in the last few years in our rural communities are government cuts, except for taxes.

If you live in rural and care about your financial bottom-line, it might be time to discuss whether this government is taking rural support for granted.

Assiniboia’s library has moved to Stage 3 in Palliser’s Path to Reopening

By Dan Archer Stage 1 of Palliser’s Path to Reopening was introduced on March 16, when their branch libraries in southern Saskatchewan were restricted to virtual services during the initial stages of the COVID-19 lockdown as directed by the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

Virtual services at the library included a digital academy, online programming, Overdrive/Libby, Hoopla and Tumblebooks.

Customers were allowed to order books at the Assiniboia & District Public Library since mid-June, when Stage 2 of Palliser’s Path to Reopening began by introducing the library’s takeout option, where clients placed holds on quarantined materials at https:// www.palliserlibrary.ca/.

“June 16 was when we started doing library takeout,” Assistant Librarian, Lois Seeley said. “And it was wonderful to see all the people again,” she added. “At this point, we don’t know the dates of the next stage,” she said in reference to Stage 4.

Assiniboia’s public library moved to Stage 3 on July 22.

Appointments for 15-minute, in-library visits are now available on Wednesdays and Fridays from 2 to 6 p.m.

Patrons can arrange their individual appointments by phone at 306642-361 or online.

After each patron leaves the library, Seeley sanitizes the countertops, doors and other high-touch areas before another client enters.

Although patrons are now allowed to physic-

ally return to the library for limited periods in Stage 3, they can’t use the library’s computers in this duration.

“Distancing, sanitizing keyboards – these are things still being worked on.” Seeley further discussed how Palliser is searching for ways to make the computers in their libraries convenient once again for patrons, but safe from transmission.

In Stage 3, stacks aren’t open for browsing, which remains at home and online. Also, patrons aren’t allowed to book rooms.

Curbside services at the library are still available at the library on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Customers are reminded to call the library, or knock on their window when arriving for curbside pick-ups after receiving notifications about their holds.

Although services are limited, the town’s assistant librarian has been busy arranging orders, quarantining materials and answering the phone. She’s also responding to online enquiries. All of these jobs have to be completed within a short window of time because of her reduced hours.

“I’m here in the afternoons from Tuesday to Saturday, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.,” Seeley said.

After a client enters the library, they’re asked to sanitize their hands then participate in a survey.

“The questionnaire is about health-related and travel-related questions,” Seeley said. “A really big ‘no’, is for people to come in if they aren’t feeling well.”

“Masks are not required at this time, but we practise social distancing,” Seeley

added.

“Our main objective is to keep the public and the staff safe while giving the best service we can.”

Both Seeley and Assiniboia’s Librarian, Lori

Crighton, are looking forward to the time when the library will fully reopen, but the timelines for Stage 4 and Stage 5 are uncertain.

In Stage 4 of Palliser’s Path to Reopening, stacks

will be accessible for browsing, the inter-agency will hold services and online programming will also be available.

However, the library’s computers will remain off

limits. Also, in Stage 4 patrons are unable to book rooms in Palliser’s branches.

Full services for Palliser Regional Libraries will resume in Stage 5.

“June 16 was when we started doing library takeout,” Assistant Librarian, Lois Seeley said. “And it was wonderful to see all the people again,” she added. “At this point, we don’t know the dates of the Photo by Dan Archer next stage,” she said in reference to Stage 4.

JULY 31, 2020 CIVIC NEWS

MOSQUITO CONTROL The Town of Assiniboia has undertaken a very aggressive larval control program. This program began in late June 2020. The Town of Assiniboia will be treating all standing water within Town limits, all storm sewer catch basins, storm sewer outfall ditches, and standing water within a 3 km radius of the Town. It is proposed that applications will be made for a period of ten weeks weather permitting. The chemical being used for the larval control program is Vectobac.

COVID -19 INFORMATION Testing for COVID -19 is now universally available to anyone who requests it, regardless of whether a person has symptoms or not. A referral for testing can be done by contacting HealthLine at 811.

Also on July 21, the following activities will be reopened, with operating guidelines outlined in the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan:

YARD AND GARAGE SALES All individuals must observe gathering sizes outlined in the current Public Health Order and ensure that physical distancing can be maintained. Guidelines include heightened sanitation, signage that encourages distancing, and advice around payment options. Sales must be held by a single household—group events are not permitted at this time.

Please remember to physical distance and if you can’t wear a mask, practice frequent handwashing and / or sanitizing and if you are sick please stay home.

REDUCING MOSQUITO NUMBERS AROUND YOUR HOME MOSQUITOS NEED WATER TO BREED. REDUCING OR ELIMINATING STANDING WATER IS AN EFFECTIVE AND ECONOMICAL WAY TO CONTROL MOSQUITOS AND SOMETHING ALL RESIDENTS CAN DO AROUND THEIR HOMES: • ELIMINATE SOURCES OF STANDING WATER IN YOUR YARD (FOR EXAMPLE FLOWERPOTS, GARDENING CANS, WHEELBARROWS, AND PUDDLES).

• DRILL HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF WATER-COLLECTING OBJECTS AND CONTAINERS THAT MUST BE LEFT OUTDOORS, SUCH AS IN TIRE SWINGS TO DRAIN ANY WATER. • COVER ANY GARBAGE, RECYCLING OR COMPOSTING CONTAINERS, TO PREVENT WATER FROM COLLECTING. • REPLACE WATER IN BIRDBATHS AND OUTDOOR PET DISHES ONCE EVERY WEEK. • ENSURE THAT OPENINGS IN RAIN BARRELS ARE COVERED WITH MOSQUITO SCREENING OR TIGHTLY SEALED AROUND THE DOWN SPOUT. IF A RAIN BARREL IS NOT SCREENED, ADD ½ CUP OF HOUSEHOLD BLEACH TO IT ONCE A WEEK. • TURN OVER PLASTIC WADING POOLS WHEN NOT IN USE. CHANGE THE WATER IN WADING POOLS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. • CHECK UNDER SHRUBBERY AND LAWN COVERINGS FOR HIDDEN AREAS THAT MAY CONTAIN WATER. • USE LANDSCAPING TO ELIMINATE WATER THAT COLLECTS IN LOW AREAS OF YOUR PROPERTY. • TRIM VEGETATION AROUND YOUR PROPERTY INCLUDING THE ALLEY. WEEDS, TALL GRASS AND SHRUBBERY PROVIDE AN OUTDOOR HOME FOR ADULT MOSQUITOS.

STAT HOLIDAY – MONDAY AUGUST 3, 2020 The Town Office and Landfill will be closed for the stat holiday. Please see the pool schedule online for hours of operation or call the pool at 642-5620.

Assiniboia Times, Assiniboia Saskatchewan -- July 31, 2020 7

Investor alert-warning about increase in foreign exchange (Forex) scams The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) alerted the public about Foreign Exchange (Forex) scams targeting investors.

Forex investing includes speculating on the change in value of one currency against another.

This activity is legal and regulated in Saskatchewan, but only registered dealers are allowed to conduct the trades.

However, its complexity and volatility can be used by fraudsters to mislead unsuspecting investors into believing a scheme is a legitimate and lucrative investment.

Provincial and territorial securities regulators in Canada have seen an increase in Forex-related scams over the past few months.

Fraudsters have been using social media, online forums and buy and sell websites to target investors with promises of high returns from Forex

investing.

“You should always check to see if the person or company offering the investment is registered,” FCAA Director of Enforcement Harvey White said. “The Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Registration Search (https://www. securities-administrators.ca/ nrs/nrsearchprep.aspx) is a free tool that investors can use to check registrations as only registered dealers can sell Forex products,” White added.

Forex trading is a volatile and a high-risk invest-

ment. If a potential investor can’t understand the risks, they shouldn’t get involved.

Red flags indicating the investment is fraudulent include a guarantee of little or no risk and high investment returns.

Further, unscrupulous dealers aren’t registered with the FCAA. There’s an unwillingness to discuss the past performance or track record of the specialist traders who will handle their money.

Also, there’s a reluctance to identify specialist

traders or traders located in offshore jurisdictions who are managing their cash investments.

Another red flag might include high-pressure sales techniques to buy Forex investments, to purchase software, or take courses related to Forex trading.

Always check the registration of the person or company selling or advising about securities or derivatives.

Research the disciplinary history for the person or company, to discover if they’ve broken regulatory

rules in the past by using the Canadian Securities Administrators’ Cease Trade Orders database.

Investors should know what they are investing in and understand how the investment, product or service works.

Ensure to get a second

opinion and seek professional advice about the investment.

If anyone has been contacted by someone offering a Forex investing opportunity, or any investment that may be fraudulent, contact the FCAA’s Securities Division at 306-787-5936.

RCMP request public’s assistance in solving theft in Lake Johnston The Assiniboia RCMP requested the public’s assistance in locating the person(s) responsible for theft that occurred in the R.M. of Lake Johnston sometime between 10 p.m.

Lanigan RCMP laid charges for trafficking cattle in Alberta and Saskatchewan Lanigan RCMP laid charges following a fivemonth long cattle theft investigation at Caprina Farms and Ranching located near Jansen, Saskatchewan.

Lanigan RCMP, the Alberta RCMP Livestock Investigations Section (LIS) and members of the Livestock Services of Saskatchewan (LSS) were involved in the investigation.

Lanigan RCMP, the Alberta RCMP LIS and LSS members conducted a search of Caprina Farms located in the R.M. of Prairie Rose on June 20.

The search resulted in a substantial recovery of Albertan and Saskatchewan cattle. Reportedly, a sizeable number of animals were trafficked by the accused.

59-year-old Monika Ribi of the R.M. of Prairie Rose was charged with the following offences: Five counts of Theft of Cattle, Sec. 338(2) of the Criminal Code; two counts of Trafficking Stolen Cattle, Sec. 338(2) of the Criminal Code; Fraudulently Marking Cattle, Sec. 338(1)(b) (ii) of the Criminal Code; and Causing Animals to be in Distress, Sec. 4(1) of the Animal Protection Act. Also, 59-year-old

Andre Ribi of the R.M. of Prairie Rose was charged with the following: Theft of Cattle, Sec. 338(2) of the Criminal Code; Trafficking Stolen Cattle, Sec. 338(2) of the Criminal Code; Fraudulently Marking Cattle, Sec. 338(1)(b) (ii) of the Criminal Code; and Causing Animals to be in Distress, Sec. 4(1) of the Animal Protection Act. The Ribi’s have been released with conditions and are scheduled to make their first appearance in Humboldt Provincial Court on August 24, 2020.

“We recognize the challenges that come with managing farming operations – it’s a big job. Having farmers and ranchers able to specifically identify that something was amiss with their herd or that animals were missing and then take time out of their day to report it was key to this investigation,” said Staff Sergeant Greg Abbott of the RCMP Central District Management Team.

“In this instance, it specifically resulted in linkages being made to other inter-provincial files and ultimately resulted in a much larger investigation and charges laid.”

The RCMP Livestock

Section reminded cattle owners of the importance of branding for ownership identification purposes.

Branding is the only definite means of animal identification. RCMP have laid charges following a

five-month long cattle theft investigation with counts of Trafficking Stolen Cattle, Sec. 338(2) of the Criminal Code; · Fraudulently Marking Cattle, Sec. 338(1)(b)(ii) of the Criminal Code; and

· Causing Animals to be in Distress, Sec. 4(1) of the Animal Protection Act. 59-year-old · Theft of Cattle, Sec. 338(2) of the Criminal Code; · Trafficking Stolen

Cattle, Sec. 338(2) of the Criminal Code; · Fraudulently Marking Cattle, Sec. 338(1)(b)(ii) of the Criminal Code; and · Causing Animals to be in Distress, Sec. 4(1) of the Animal Protection Act.

Re-Open Saskatchewan: guidelines for yard and garage sales, as well as door-to-door activities Saskatchewan continued to progress through Phase 4 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan.

Additional activities and businesses were allowed to reopen in a measured and careful manner as part of the plan to reopen the provincial economy.

Starting July 21, modifications came into effect for drive-in theatres: reducing the distance between vehicles to two metres, down from five metres.

Guidelines for libraries have now included the reduction of the length of time for returned or donated items to be held to 24 hours, down from 72 hours.

Fitness facilities: 24-hour access to fitness facilities have been permitted. Guests must register at gyms to enable contact tracing (if required).

Campgrounds: laundry

facilities are now able to open following new guidelines for safe operation.

The following activities were also reopened with operating guidelines outlined in the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan on July 21: Yard and garage sales All individuals must observe gathering sizes outlined in the current public health order and ensure physical distancing can be maintained. Guidelines include heightened sanitation, signage to encourage distancing and advice regarding payment options.

Sales must be held by a single household, as group events are not permitted at this time.

Door-to-door canvassing and sales Physical distancing is to be maintained when visiting a residence and between volunteers and/or

staff.

Guidelines include frequent hand hygiene and no sharing of common materials including pens, pencils and promotional materials.

Saskatchewan residents are encouraged to famil-

iarize themselves with the guidelines and follow recommendations to ensure the province can continue to reopen in a safe manner without a significant increase in COVID-19 transmission.

Ellen Kirby and her sister Shirley Wolfe participated in Assiniboia’s first town-wide garage sale on June 1 in 2019. The provincial government recently updated their policies on garage sales in the Saskatchewan Re-Open Plan on July 21.

Wexit Party changes name to Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan

By Brian Zinchuk In the aftermath of the fall 2019 federal election and the re-election of the Justin Trudeau-led Liberal Party to a minority government, there was an immediate backlash in Western Canada. As the results of the election came in, social media started to resound with cries for western separation from the rest of Canada. Soon a movement solidified under the “Wexit” banner (Western Exit, similar in name and concept to “Brexit,” or British Exit from the European Union).

This led to provincial parties being formed in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia under the name Wexit.

But on July 23, the new party announced it was changing its name to the Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan, with Jake Wall stepping down and Wade Sira appointed by the party’s board as the interim leader.

Born in Saskatoon, Sira spent his life in the city and surrounding areas. The press release noted he is a family man, community leader and participates in church activities, service clubs and has coached, refereed and umpired sports in the area.

Sira was elected as a municipal council reeve and soon was also appointed a representative with Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SA-

MA) in 2016.

He has also been involved at the grassroots level with political organizations, the party’s press release said.

Reached by phone at home in Saskatoon, Sira is a 37-year-old truck driver, based in Saskatoon. “Right now, I’m hauling emulsion across Saskatchewan,” he said. “In the wintertime, I haul salt and fertilizer.”

Sira said there was confusion between the federal Wexit party and the provincial one, so “the board decided that there needs to be a membership vote for the name, and a pretty good majority voted in favour of changing the name to Buffalo.”

Sira said between 65 and 70 per cent of the party members voted to change the name to Buffalo.

Buffalo was the originally proposed name for one province, which would have been the combined territories of what is now Alberta and Saskatchewan. Instead, the Wilfrid Laurier Liberal government decided to split this large region into the two provinces as they exist today, which joined confederation in 1905.

Motivations Sira said, “Ever since I was young, I was. I grew up in the time NDP within this province and the Reform Party in Western Canada and the struggle that Western Canada has had. And

as I got older, and got more involved in politics, I could see like anybody else in the province I was a fan of Brad Wall. Brad Wall was standing up for Saskatchewan.”

But after the change of leadership within the Sask Party to now-Premier Scott Moe, Sira said he saw the party “change from who they were supposed to be to begin with.”

And then there was a 180-degree change in federal administrations, from the Stephen Harper Conservatives to the Justin Trudeau Liberals.

“And we have no representation out West. We’re not even getting close to a fair shake. When Quebec, can have their natural resources not part of the equation for equalization payments, but the rest of us all have to toe the line, that we always include our natural resources, that myself, I feel like we’re almost a colony of Eastern Canada. We don’t get fair representation, but we get sure taxed for it.”

For many in the Wexit movement, the re-election of the Trudeau-led Liberal government was the final straw. It certainly was for Sira, who said, “It was a feeling of helplessness, that we will not survive out here.

And I don’t want that for my son. I don’t want that for his friends. And then, God willing, my grandchildren, and the future generations

to have to deal with what is becoming and what will, what has become.

“We will see 50 per cent added to our federal debt and pushed us over a trillion dollars. And how can we ever pay this back?

There’s only one commodity that we have in Canada that can pay this back and that’s oil. And we can’t do anything. There’s zero drilling going on in Saskatchewan right now.”

Sira also noted, “Saskatchewan is an economic goldmine, not just for us as Saskatchewan but for Canada, and ever since the days of Wilfrid Laurier he knew that the West potentially could be a powerhouse. And what he drew up destroyed the Northwest Territory in our potential becoming Buffalo, as the province in Canada, and divided us into two.”

He pointed out how Saskatchewan and Alberta, with six senators each, have just a portion of what other provinces are allotted in the Senate.

Sira said, “First and foremost, the people of this province we live in a democratic country, we live in a democratic process and they have the right to have the referendum, not Moe to tell them that I’m not giving you the right for a referendum.”

As for their goals, he said, “If the people want

to leave, and we govern them in the best ability to domestically, we can, for us leave. If they want to stay, then we still want our sovereignty; we still want a fair shake within Canada.

We want to have control over own immigration. We want control over more of our natural resources, and to be building these pipelines without having one province hold up the rest of Canada. We want to have pretty much what Quebec was able to obtain within Canada. Why can’t we be treated the same way?

“If people want to stay in Canada, then we want to have our own sovereign identity within Canada. If they wanted to leave and we will leave.”

He continued, “I see Alberta, Saskatchewan being the main two to leave first, and then, B.C. and Manitoba, and even the potentially the Northern Territories.”

He thinks British Columbia might be divided, as there’s too much support for the federal government in the Lower Mainland for that portion of British Columbia to leave.

Golf Saskatchewan crowns amateur winners

Ty Campbell, 23, either led or shared the lead of the four-round event after 54 holes, giving the cushion up early in the final round, but getting the margin back just in time to claim the win on July 24 at The Legends Golf Course in Warman.

Photos by Clark Stork Shell Lake’s Brooklin Fry is a back-to-back champion as well, except the 15-year old’s wins came within two weeks.

Prince Albert’s Danny Klughart won his second straight Saskatchewan Mid-Amateur Championship on July 24.

Golfers at the Assiniboia Regional Park Golf Course enjoyed a round under a mix of sun and clouds on July 22.

Photo by Dan Archer Clark Stork, Director of Communications, Golf Saskatchewan Prince Albert’s Danny Klughart won his second straight Saskatchewan Mid-Amateur Championship on July 24.

The Cooke Municipal Golf Course member chased Krys Wasylowich’s course record of 61 in Warman, before resting at 10-under, 62 in the final round of the mid-am event.

Klughart left the field in awe with a seven-shot win over North Battleford’s Scott Thompson with a three-round score of 205.

“I’m super excited to be the mid-amateur champion again,” Klughart said after the round. “I wasn’t striking the ball well leading up to the tournament. During the first round, I did everything I could to stay in the event and not shoot myself out of it the first day. Yesterday was better and of course to-

day, I was feeling it.”

36-hole mid-am leader Justin Wood of Unity placed third at 3-under par.

Saskatoon’s Travis Fehr placed fourth at 1-under par.

Shaun Dunphy (Saskatoon) and Mitch Matichuk tied for fifth overall at 1-over.

The Mid-Am Championship is open to players 25 years and up. Klughart won both events last year when the two were played over the same 54 holes.

A fourth round was added to the amateur prior to the 2020 season.

The final round of the Men’s Amateur Championship was played on Friday at The Legends.

Ty Campbell, 23, either led or shared the lead of the four-round event after 54 holes, giving the cushion up early in the final round, but getting the margin back just in time to claim the win on July 24 at The Legends in Warman.

“It feels pretty good – it’s definitely something I have been striving for a long time. It’s nice to knock off the bucket list and hopefully there’s a few more,” Campbell said.

Danny Klughart missed winning his second straight amateur title finishing at 10-under, 278.

Two-time amateur winner, Scott Thompson, placed third at 5-under.

Campbell’s Friday win earned him a spot in next year’s Canadian Amateur Championship.

Brooklin Fry sweeps provincials Shell Lake’s Brooklin Fry is a back-to-back champion as well, except the 15-year old’s wins came within two weeks.

Last week in Swift Current, Fry won the Saskatchewan Junior Girl’s Championship.

Fry came from two shots down to win the provincial amateur women’s title as well in Warman on Thursday.

“It felt really awesome – it’s really cool to do that,” she said of wining the amateur event.

Trailing defending champion Kathy Ziglo going into the third and final round, Fry birdied the opening two holes and cruised to a 1-over 73.

She ended up taking the event by six strokes over Ziglo who finished at plus-13.

Autumn Neiszner (Regina) and Ella Kozak (Yorkton) tied for third overall at 17-over par.
