By Terrie Welwood Just about thirteen months ago, Nathan Raymond hit the football field as a rookie player with the Moosomin Generals.

A few months later, successful tryouts and a camp with offensive line coach Matt Sheridan

lead to a trip to San Antonia, Texas with the Sask. Selects where the Selects squared off again the best in Texas, including the State Champion Allan Wild Dawgz. There, the Texas fas were in shock when the Selects actually led the Wild Dawgz on the score board for the

first half, something no team had managed to accomplish in the history of team.

On that field, he was named Captain of the Offensive Squad and later, the Top Offensive Lineman of the Sask . Selects.

After spring ball with the Generals, Nate was again hitting the turf at a more elite level. This time, the Regina Minor Football League was looking for the best players under 16 in southern Saskatchewan. As headcoach Jeff Stusek looked to build the best quad to compete in the ManSask Challenge, well over 100 players were judged for their skill, attitude and coachability over a three weekend tryout camp at Mosaic Stadium. While players were slowly weeded out, the 15 year old kid from Redvers again made the team.

This time, Gene Malkowsky, a 17 year veteran of the Riders would lend his expertise as O line coach.

“It was very interesting from each coach you learned a different style, different pulls and different blocks,” Nathan said.

And right from the beginning there’s been a lot to learn.

The Moosomin Generals play nine ball with Canadian rules. The Sask Selects, the next team Nate was chosen for, played 11 man football by American rules.

“I remember Mattie Sheridan saying to me back in the Selects training camps in Moosejaw that my head must just be swimming keeping up with all the changes in the rules and the plays,” Nathan said with a smile.

At the latest U-16 ManSask challenge, sponsored by the Riders, they played 12 man – with CFL rules.

“But that’s why I love the game so much,” Nathan said. “There’s so much to Nathan Raymond out learn and from each coach, you learn so on a pull, blocking the many different things. running back in Game “My thing is to really listen to the 1 against Manitoba coaches and if I have a question, to ask to Gold in the Man-Sask make sure that I really understand what Challenge they want our line to do and exactly how they want us to do it.”

The first game of the ManSask Challenge was played in Mosiac stadium where the South Sask U16 took on Manitoba Gold.

That game, which ended with 44-7 on the scoreboard, would be the first of what could easily called a series of landslide wins.

Next, it was off to Saskatoon where the team was sequestered in a hotel, bunked together, ate together and trained together – just as a professional team on the road.

Their next challenge came from another Manitoba team . These players, predominately from Winnipeg were no match for the South Sask elite, as they fell 55- 9.

The final game was the best of the best in Saskatchewan when the south took on the north. The South proved their prowess again as they defeated the North by a score of 45 – 14.

Tallies of the ManSask Challenge (formerly the Red River Cup) Raymond and his South Sask teammates put 144 points on the scoreboard, giving up only 30 to their opposition.

After his latest Regina Rams camp a couple of weeks ago, he was advised that he and his team mates have been invited by the Regina Thunder to their home opener on Aug.15th to be recognized at half time, as the gold medal winner of the ManSask Challenge.

Within a couple of weeks, Nathan will return to practise with the Moosomin Generals as coaches Dexter Mondor and Dana Rookes prepare them for their first league game against Souris – in Souris – on Sept. 10th.

While he prepares to rejoin the Generals, Nathan can be found working out daily in his gym or doing speed drills and running the track – usually in full football equipment – at Redvers school.

Of all of the advice he’s had from coaches over the last year, one comment from coach Stusek has really stuck.

“Right from the beginning,” Nathan said, “Coach Stusek said there are key factors that determine whether or not any player makes the team.

“After each camp, you learn different techniques and you get better and better,” he said. “And more and more, you learn from your mistakes,” Nathan said.

Coach Stusek told us that no matter what our level of ability, our attitude and coachability were also key factors ,” Nathan said. “And most of all, what he called Availability. Availability to be ready and pumped to play the game at any time.”

New beach facility under construction

By Kelly Running It was an exciting day in Moose Mountain Provincial Park on Tuesday, July 14, as the Minister of Parks, Culture, and Sport Mark Docherty, joined by other Provincial Park officials, celebrated a sod turning of a new service centre at the Main Beach.

Others present in celebrating the new facility included our local Park Supervisor Joan Adams, along with the Deputy Minister Lin Gallagher, Chief of Staff Morgan Bradshaw, and Southeast Park Area Manager Kathie McFarland.

The facility, which is being funded by the government for nearly $700,000, will become a central hub for people to utilize. Not only will it offer a fully accessible public washroom and shower facilities right at the Main Beach, it will also include a programming area for the Moose Mountain Interpreters to use.

“It’s going to be a change house with showers, will be fully accessible, water and energy efficient, and will be a change house meeting modern standards,” McFarland explained. “We’re going to incorporate the interpreter centre currently on the beach and open up the view, so when visitors come to the beach and are interested in what’s going on everything will be centralized.”

Despite the park doing a great job keeping the current change house in good shape it is getting older and isn’t in the same condition it once was, while it no longer meets certain standards, for example it is not fully accessible. The change house also does not currently contain showers for people leaving the beach, which will be a welcomed addition in the new building.

“It’s time; our other building is just shy of 60-years-old and is wearing out,” Adams explained.

“The new space will have a front office space for our interpreters, so when they’re running beach programs their equipment can be stored right at the beach instead of back at the interpreter center.”

The day of the sod turning was actually the first day of construction as well, which means it should be finished by next year.

“The idea is to build and use the old building still while the new one is being built,” Adams said.

“We’re expecting it to be up and running next year.”

With this exciting new project, Moose Mountain Provincial Park has seen an investment since 2008-09 of over $3 million by the government and capital projects like the new change house are intended to improve the experience of campers visiting the park.

“Moose Mountain Provincial Park is an oasis in southeastern Saskatchewan,” Hon. Docherty stated. “This park is very popular with campers, cottagers and people from surrounding communities. This new service centre will make their experience at Moose Mountain better.”

Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Vaughn Solomon Schofield, was in Wawota on Tuesday, July 28, as a guest of honour at the RCMP Musical Ride.

By Kelly Running It was wet and cold out as the rain came down and the wind blew, but that didn’t stop a crowd from amassing at the natural amphitheatre north of Wawota to take in the sites as the community welcomed the RCMP Musical Ride.

Umbrella’s, plastic ponchos, and rain jackets were plentiful as many were determined to grit and bear it.

Doors opened at 4 p.m. with local musical entertainment following until it was time for the Musical Ride. Between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. there was food booths set up by different organizations, while kids could also have their faces painted. Excited for this they weren’t fazed as the paint began running in the rain.

As it neared closer to 7 p.m. the hill overlooking the stage filled and it was time.

13 Welcomed to the community was Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Vaughn Solomon Schofield, who had made the journey out from Regina for the special occasion.

Excitement filled the air as the RCMP riders crested the hill on the northeast side of the natural amphitheatre making their way down to their arena.

Each year the Musical Ride is performed in different parts of Canada and 2015 sees them riding in the Maritimes as well as Saskatchewan. It is put on by a full troop of 32 riders and horses as well as a member in charge who oversees the performance.

Musical Ride continued from page 4

The RCMP Musical Ride was brought to Wawota this year, 20 years after the community last held it, and was invited to the area by the Business Enhancement Group in Wawota.

Meredith Swanson, of Wawota’s Business Enhancement Group (WBEG), says, “We had the Musical Ride in Wawota back in 1990. I was involved in that one, so I sent in another application, hoping, but never really thinking we’d get them to come again. We lucked out, because they only go to certain provinces each year and in 2015, it’s only Saskatchewan and the Maritimes.”

According to President of the WBEG, Shannon Houff, the day was a success despite the rain.

“Right before the show we looked up at the rain and just said please let it stop,” she said. “And it did, during the performance the rain stopped. …it [the rain and wind] started immediately after.”

“The resilience of prairie people was shown that day, they were able to stick it out through the weather and witness that historic event. For someone who’s never seen it in that setting, it was a treat. I’m really happy

with the end result and everyone who braved it were glad they did.”

Although they had been hoping for 3,000 people to come out, the weather did keep some away.

“We had about 2,000 people including kids and VIPs, and our final total isn’t in but we expect a profit of about $20,000, which will all go towards a community project,” Houff explained.

“The riders have been to a lot of places and they said that this was the coolest natural spot that they’ve ridden in.”

The funds raised by the event will be going towards their WBEG community project of establishing an outdoor kitchen in the recreation area as well as a memorial garden and pathway.

“The outdoor kitchen will be a great gathering spot for family reunions or just a nice spot to sit and have a picnic,” Houff explained. “We’re going to add on a walkway and memorial garden as well, which is part of a five-year plan. We have the cement pad poured which is great and although the building will be more than

$20,000, which was raised with the Musical Ride, that helps a lot.”

“The memorial garden will have memory benches and light posts for people in the community to dedicate to someone.”

Although raising the money is great, Houff says that putting on an event of this magnitude is more about the community togetherness that develops above all else.

“It takes a lot of people to come together,” she explained.

“Thank you to everyone who helped for stepping up to the plate and to the organizers who spent nine months to a year working on this.”

“In the end everyone comes together and we’ve gained community pride which is even better than the money raised; that sense of togetherness to achieve a big goal like that sparks something in the lives of those in the community. Hats off to all my fellow committee members because they know how much work was put into this.”

Life from light – stimulating photosynthesis important for soil health

By Kelly Running Soil health is directly related to the amount of nutrients found in our food according to Dr. Christine Jones an Australian soil ecologist. Whether we’re eating vegetables, fruit, or meat the nutrition levels of our foods have diminished over the years and it is up to those managing the land to find ways to improve soil health as a way to rectify this. Additionally, farming and ranching practices are said to be able to extract carbon dioxide from the air and store it in the soil.

Although holistic management brings with it other benefits to those in agriculture, the two thoughts above help inspire farmers and ranchers who are environmentally conscious to pursue better land management, which

will build up our soil that has slowly been depleting in nutrients over the years.

Jones has been touring Canada to discuss these topics of restoring soil carbon and rebuilding topsoil after being contacted by Neil and Barbara Dennis of Sunnybrae Acres.

Opening speakers’ thoughts Speaking prior to Jones taking the podium Dave Pattyson with the Upper Souris Watershed provided a summary of information regarding the Farm Stewardship Program.

Also speaking was local rancher, Blaine Hjertaas, from west of Redvers. Hjertaas, a holistic land manager, was there to talk about his practices and about Regenerative Agriculture in general.

“Regenerative Agriculture is a system that builds soil, people, communities, and healthy food,” Hjertaas stated.

“This [the land] is our grandkids heritage that we’re playing with. We have to change, we have to build.”

“Soil health and human health are the same thing; if the soil is crap our health is too and if the soil is good then our health is good.”

Hjertaas explained that over the years our food has become nutrient deficient which correlates to our health with 30 percent of the population said to be obese, increased diabetes amongst the population, and early onset Alzheimers – what was once something that people suffered from in old age is now being found in people much younger.

In order to improve soil health, add nutrients to foods, and become healthier, Hjertaas says it is essential for people in agriculture to understand and enhance life processes: energy flow, community dynamics, the water cycle, and the mineral cycle.

Hjertaas also spoke of three holistic management success stories including a farm in Zimbabwe, one in North Dakota, and his own.

“Neighbours now say I waste grass,” he said. “We have cattle and sheep on our operation and have been operating for 15 years, and I still have questions.”

These questions have led Hjertaas to the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), which is a compilation of satellite images from each year dating back to

2008 of Hjertaas’ homestead and the township surrounding it. The darker the green on the image the more photosynthesis is happening in that area annually.

“Every year I’ve been ahead of the average of the township,” he said.

Since the satellite imagery is a compilation of a year’s worth of photos, Hjertaas’ land was greener because he explained that his plants even in mid-December photosynthesizing for a short amount of time because it is still green: “It might only be for an hour out of the day, but they’re still photosynthesizing.”

The additional vegetation which others say he is wasting is used as a blanket which insulates itself, while the bugs and processes in the soil because photosynthesis is feeding them gives off heat in return.

By doing this and managing his land holistically, Hjertaas says, “I’ve gained a month of growing time and I’m still making my soil health better.”

Hjertaas has also been monitoring carbon on his land.

In 2011 there was 221.07 tonnes/hectare of carbon, while in 2014 there was 239.61 tonnes/hectare of carbon within his land. This means an increase of 6.18 tonnes/ hectare of carbon/year, which translates to 22.88 tonnes of CO2 sequestered/hectare/year.

“The key word is change,” Hjertaas stated. “It’s a tough word for people, change. I had to change, to be different than my neighbours, which was difficult. But, I believe that we can put together the life processes correctly and it’s unlimited what we can do.”

“Why change? Because of them,” Hjertaas said as he showed a photo of his grandchildren. “This is their future, if we don’t turn the land over in a better condition than we got it, then we are doomed as a society.”

Dr. Christine Jones “There is something fundamentally wrong with our food and this has been happening for quite a long time,” Jones said. “The nutritional value of today’s food is lower than any point in history. You would need to eat twice as much meat, three times as much fruit, and four or five times as much vegetables to get the same amount of minerals as in 1940.”

“You’d have to eat 10 times as many tomatoes today as one tomato about 50 years ago.”

Soil health continued from page 6

“If you were to take a prime piece of rump steak from the same kind of animal, at the same age, and under the same conditions now and 50 years ago it would only have half the amount of iron in it. So, it’s things that we take for granted, we assume meat will have iron in it, we eat meat for iron, there’s actually 54 percent less iron in it than it had 50 years ago.”

Minerals including copper, zinc, manganese are also diminishing in our food according to Jones: “In some foods there is no longer any trace of copper. Copper is very important in our bodies because we have to transform compounds from one state to another, we need an enzyme – we need a whole lot of enzymes to make those transformations – and every single enzyme has a catalyst, and that catalyst in our bodies is often copper, or zinc, or manganese. These things have declined significantly to the point that the foods that were once high in zinc, there is absolutely none now.”

“As we’re going on our food is getting less and less nutrients in it.”

Jones posed the question of why this was to those at the presentation with the answer being: “Bacteria and fungi are not functioning anymore to make those minerals available to the plants.”

Essentially she says that fertilizers are blocking the natural symbiotic relationship of the plant and soil organisms.

“The plant isn’t asking the biology to interact anymore because we give the plant some nitrogen, we give it some phosphorous. Those are the main things it needs to grow, and it can grow on those things, it doesn’t function effectively in terms of its immune system, but it can grow.”

“We’ve taken away the plants job by putting on synthetic fertilizer, that’s one of the things we’ve done.

Tillage is another. Microbes in the soil go to an enormous amount of trouble to modify the soil environment, to make it favourable for them. They produce sticky substances that glue soil particles together in little lumps we call aggregates... If we were to come in and cultivate it, and cultivate it, and cultivate, we would come in and basically bust up their homes which makes it difficult for things that live in the soil to survive.”

Healthy interaction of soil and plants is self regulating according to Jones, the plant can ask for up to 90 percent of what it needs through mycorrihzal fungi.

“Mycorrihzal fungi can extend where plant roots can’t,” Jones said. “They can bring water from 20 meters away. Have you ever seen trees growing in rocks without soil? That’s because of a myorrihzal fungi interacting with the rock because they’re incredibly efficient in getting minerals.”

These are important biological pathways because a plant is stuck in one place for its entire life.

“If we supply things like nitrogen and phosphorous to plants we actually take away their [the soil organisms’] job,” she said.

“If the roots aren’t signalling to the microbes to bring minerals to it and we shut off that pathway [with fertilizers] that communication doesn’t happen.”

So, how can soil be corrected by using the natural pathways of the soil biology and not simply treating a symptom of the bigger problem? By instead stimulating photosynthesis – not only by encouraging plants to photosynthesize at a higher rate – and to increase a plant’s photosynthetic capacity.

Therefore, any bare ground showing is not assisting in increasing the photosynthetic process, which is why companion crops are becoming more popular amongst grain farmers who are utilizing holistic management.

“We need green plants for CO2 and water, we need good plant roots, deep roots, branched roots, roots with lots of little hairs; lots of excretion of carbon around these plants,” Jones said. “When that is all in place we can build soil.”

Additionally over the years, according to Jones, we have cut down on the amount of light that is intercepted through raising monocultures, using vegetation with short growing seasons also hinders the amount of photosynthesizing within a year, and by spraying things like nitrogen on the plant can also disrupt the light a plant uses.

By diversifying the types of plants on a section photosynthesis can increase: different shaped leaves, increased ground cover, and utilizing plants of varying heights to assist in capturing sunlight energy for photosynthesis.

It’s also important to build ground cover according to Jones. More microbial activity in the soil will increase organic matter in the soil, which will produce CO2 that comes up from soil. The increased organic matter adds to the amount of carbon dioxide the plant takes in, which improves photosynthesis. “We want to recycle it [CO2] before it reaches the atmosphere,” Jones stated. She

“It is not enough to weep for the babies who are killed, or for their mothers who are violated by abortion, or for the young victims of infanticide, or for those medically vulnerable who have fallen to euthanasia....we must save our tears for those of us who let it happen.”

- Mary Senader, (U.S. anti-euthanasia activist)

added that plants are more efficient recycling CO2 from the ground because plant leaves are built with stoma, the part of a leaf that takes in CO2 for photosynthesis, on the underside of it.

The photosynthetic rate has been altered over time as well. Photosynthesis is used for a plant to feed itself and to feed the soil. By providing nitrogen in the form of a synthetic fertilizer the plant’s photosynthetic rate is cut in half because it now only has to photosynthesize enough to feed itself, the symbiotic relationship is interrupted by human intervention. “[If nitrogen is added] it’ll still look the same and it will still grow, it might grow more leaves, but that extra growth won’t have trace elements or minerals in it, so animals will have to eat more of it. There’s more there, but it will have essential things missing from it.”

This is why she says nutrients in our food today has declined to the point it has.

Ultimately, Jones said that no matter what kind of agriculture one is practising that at the core farmers and ranchers of any kind, whether raising cattle, sheep, bison, or growing wheat, sunflowers, or corn, at the core they are all light farmers. Healthy soil is dependent on how good light farmers are at stimulating photosynthesis in their practices because the symbiotic relationship between soil microbes and plants is dependent on creating life through light – photosynthesis.

“There can be no life without soil and no soil without life; they have evolved together,” Jones quoted Charles E. Kellogg – a naturalist from the early 1900s.

“What’s the Big Idea?�

In Rural Development?

By Vern May Weary eyes look across the horizon under a furrowed brow, concerned about what the future holds for our prairie towns. A volatile economy and the devastation of horrific weather incidents that have ravaged our land adds to the stresses of our community officials tasked to ensure our future prosperity.

Taking a passive approach which may have worked for us a generation ago isn’t going to guarantee the results that the community expects to see as a tangible return on their investment. Planting a “Lots for Sale� sign in the ground and hoping that it will reap a bumper crop is wishful thinking. Like everything that grows on the prairies it needs to be nurtured and fed to reach its full potential.

It’s also vital that communities themselves take a hands on approach, recognizing their stake in their own success. When we recognize that our shared challenges and opportunities open doors for collaboration across municipal lines, new ideas start to take shape.

It’s with that context in mind that a partnership has been created pro-actively to cultivate interest in the entrepreneurial opportunities in rural Manitoba. “What’s the Big Idea?� is an business-focused rural showcase scheduled to be hosted in Minnedosa on Thursday, October 22 which has come together through a partnership between the Neepawa & Area Development Corporation, the Minnedosa & Area Development Corporation, the R.M. of Oakview, the R.M. of Minto-Odanah, the Town of Neepawa and the Town of Minnedosa.

The municipal partners, as well as some of the local service groups are taking a hands on approach to encouraging new business in their area with an event which cuts through some of the red tape and offers significant incentives to those looking to launch their business in any of the participating jurisdictions.

With more than $50,000 in cash awards and real estate incentives available at the event, the event will include presentations from applicable support resources and agencies, testimonials from successful rural entrepreneurs and will be highlighted by a Dragon’s Denstyle pitch opportunity where people can bring their best pitch forward with hopes of securing the support that they need to launch their project.

Registration for the event by those hopeful to make a pitch is free and orientation sessions for those attending with their business idea will be held in the weeks leading up to the event to ensure that each pitch includes the elements and information that the judges will need in order to make their decision. For more information, those interested to present their business ideas can contact Marilyn Crewe, Economic Development Officer for Neepawa at edo@wcgwave.ca or 204-476-7607.

This is just one of many innovative approaches being adopted by rural communities to spur growth and development. The R.M. of Pipestone has made national headlines recently with their incentives to encourage immigration to the community, and their approaches for business off another element to that equation with small business loans and the introduction of a Business Real Property Grant, offering up to $32,000 in available grants to businesses setting up shop in their municipality.

While development is not a fast moving process, a number of locales are each exploring avenues to tackle the challenge of maintaining and growing their communities and fortifying faith in new investment in rural Manitoba.
