Wawota celebrates Heritage Days By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

Over the August Long Weekend Wawota celebrated their Heritage Days in the valley. Heritage Days actually began in the 1950s and then there were a number of years when it didn’t happen. The decision was made to bring it back again in 2015 and has been going on ever since. The Heritage Days kicked off with a parade on Friday afternoon followed by everyone heading down to the valley to take in the events there. Although attendance was down this year, everyone attending had a good time. The Ranch Rodeo was scheduled to be in conjuction with this year’s Heritage Days but due to the high number of entries in the Gymkhana there just wouldn’t be enough time to hold both events. “Kids Gymkhana had over 30 participants each day,” explains Kathy Hamilton, committee member of Wawota Heritage Days. The Gymkhana helped fill in the weekend, giving the people coming to Heritage Days something else to do. It went really well and people seemed to enjoy it. Wheels and Saddles held demonstrations throughout the day. “Wheels and Saddles Show and Shine was well received,” says Hamilton. This year, those who came out to enjoy Wa-

The Long Weekend event gave young and old a chance to come out and have some very affordable fun. Families come into the valley to watch the youngsters take part in the Gymkhana or visit and relax under the tent for shade. It also means that kids can play on the Slip

and Slide, go to the Dino Dig, play on the Bouncy Castles, or just run around and meet their friends! There was no extra cost for any of those kid’s activities. Then in the evening, the whole family had the opportunity to enjoy a roast beef supper and stay to enjoy the Talent Show including Hal Garrett the cowboy poet,

Amaya Drumm and her gymnastics routine and of course the fireworks! Where else are you going to find a better deal than that? “The new events were all very successful,” says Hamilton and adds “the Kids Power Wheels Derby was well attended….there was always kids waiting in line.”

“The Dunk Tank was popular and as always a line up for Slip ‘n Slide and the Bouncers,” says Hamilton. After costs are covered, all the money that’s left is put into the Heritage Fund for next year’s event. “Any profits are used for new equipment for example tents,” Hamil-

Carnduff Astros win first Saskota title By David Willberg Estevan Mercury

The Carndu Astros have enjoyed a lot of success since the team’s inception about 15 years ago, highlighted by two provincial titles. But until this season, they had never won the Jack Harbourne Memorial Tournament, which crowns the Saskota Baseball League champions each year. The Astros defeated the Arcola Threshers 15-4 on July 28 at Kenosee Lake to win the tournament. It was one of the more unlikely championships in league history, as the Astros were the ďŹ fth-ranked team in the league during the regular season with a 6-8-2 record, while the Threshers ďŹ nished seventh at 4-10-2. “It’s a great thing,â€? said Astros player Kelby Trimble, who was a co-founder of the team around 2004. “There are a few of our guys that have been chasing it for a lot of years, and we

just had a great weekend of baseball.â€? The Harbourne opened with a round robin. The top four teams in the regular season had their games at home on July 26. Then the tournament shifted to Kenosee on July 27 and 28 for the ďŹ nal round robin games and the playos. Each team went 2-1 in the round robin; in the Astros case, they opened with a 7-6 victory over the Redvers A’s on July 26 in Redvers. They lost 7-6 to the Oxbow Chiefs, who were the topranked team in the league during the regular season, and then edged the Kenosee Cubs 3-2 in the ďŹ nal round robin game to qualify for the semis. Arcola knocked o the Chiefs in one semifinal. (Score was not available). The Astros, meanwhile, edged the two-time defending league champions, the Estevan Tap House Wolves, 2-1 in the other semi. “There were a lot of good things, over the weekend,

that we did,â€? said Trimble. “One big thing was staying positive. Even when you made an error or you struck out, there was always somebody there to pick you up.â€? In the final, the Astros were riding a high after beating the Wolves. According to Trimble, Estevan played great defensively and received great pitching in the semiďŹ nal game. “That was the big dierence going into the ďŹ nal, was that everyone was really conďŹ dent, and we were playing as a team,â€? he said. Against the better teams they faced in the tournament, he said the Astros came up big offensively and played error-free ball defensively. Tr i m b l e n o t e d t h a t throughout the years, the Astros have had a lot of good players going, and on paper, thought they had a good chance to win the Harbourne tournament. But the last time they were in the league ďŹ nal, in 2006 or 2007, they were still using

Provincial titles came in 2010 and 2014. And while they were under .500 during the regular season this year, the Astros scored more runs than they allowed. “We had ‌ ďŹ ve guys that

in place, the team started coming together. “We had a lot of close games against the top four teams. We didn’t play so great against the bottom end teams, but our biggest goal was to make the Harbourne tournament this year.� And as this year showed, once teams get to the Harbourne, anything can happen.

Final results for the 2018-19 ďŹ scal year show notable improvements in Saskatchewan’s ďŹ nances. The province ďŹ nished the year with a deďŹ cit of $268 million—$97 million lower than budgeted, $112 million less than what was forecast at third quarter, and $35 million less than the prior ďŹ scal year. “Our year-end actuals show that Saskatchewan’s ďŹ scal position and ďŹ nancial outlook continue to improve,â€? Finance Minister Donna Harpauer said. “Our government’s plan to return the province to balance remains on track.â€? In 2018-19, total revenue was $14.45 billion—up $206 million, or 1.4 per cent, from budget, and up $430 million, or 3.1 per cent, compared to the prior ďŹ scal year.

“These improved results over budget were largely the result of increased revenue from non-renewable resources,â€? Harpauer said. “Potash revenue recorded the most notable increase, due to both higher prices and higher sales volumes.â€? In 2018-19, non-renewable resource revenue was up $253 million, or more than 17 per cent, compared to budget and up $277 million, or 19 per cent, compared to the prior ďŹ scal year. Potash revenue was $536 million in 2018-19, up $228 million, or 74 per cent, compared to budget, and up $227 million, or nearly 74 per cent, compared to the prior fiscal year. To t a l e x p e n s e w a s $14.72 billion in 201819—up $108 million, or 0.7 per cent, compared

to budget, and up $395 million, or 2.8 per cent, compared to the prior ďŹ scal year. As in previous years, about 72 per cent of government expense in 201819 went toward investment into health care, education, and social services and assistance. Looking ahead, Harpauer said the government remains committed to returning the province to balance in 2019-20. “Each ďŹ scal year has its own set of unique factors that impact our budget,â€? Harpauer said. “Weather, natural disasters, global commodity prices, ďŹ nancial markets and interest rates can all affect the province’s bottom line, and we will continue to manage these risks and variables responsibly on behalf of the people of Saskatchewan.â€?

Safety our focus with this year’s highway construction season kick off The Government of Saskatchewan is investing more than $700 million in highways this year, which will result in improvements to 1,000 kilometres (km) of provincial roadways. Work this construction season will focus on safety and funding improvements to dozens of intersections across the province. “This year’s investment in highway construction has a focus on safety,� Highways and Infrastructure Minister Lori Carr said. “We are launching the Enhanced Intersection Safety Program, which is a multi-year plan that funds a number of safety focused projects province-wide.� The Enhanced Intersection Safety Program will fund: intersection safety enhancements; rumble strips; clearing of sight triangles and other safety projects like guardrails and lighting. “We are also continuing

work on several passing lane projects,â€? Carr said. “Once complete, the passing lanes will improve safety and traďŹƒc ow.â€? Construction is underway on passing lanes on Highway 2 north of Moose Jaw, as well as two sets between Rosetown and Kindersley on Highway 7. Work for passing lanes on Highways 9 and 10 near Yorkton will begin later in the summer months. More than a dozen projects are part of the ministry’s spring tender plan, which include about 100 km of highway work. Projects to be tendered: • Intersection improvements on Highway 1 at Kalium Road; • 15 km of resurfacing of Highway 6 north of Southey; • 38 km of resurfacing west of Delisle on Highway 7; • 32 km of resurfacing on Highway 39 south of the junction near Corinne;

and • 14 km of resurfacing on Highway 47 south of Estevan. All tenders can be found at www.sasktenders.ca. A weekly highway construction update is also published on www.saskatchewan.ca/ residents/transportation/ highway-constructionprojects/weekly-highwayconstruction-update to provide the travelling public with the latest details on projects underway to help plan safe and eďŹƒcient travel. You can report a highway work zone signing problem by calling 306-244-5535. Please check the Highway Hotline for road restriction information before planning your trip at www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline. Since 2008, the Government of Saskatchewan has invested $9 billion in the provincial transportation system, improving 14,000 km of provincial roads.

Public Safety Warning Possible Fentanyl-Laced Drugs The Assiniboia RCMP have reason to believe that some of the illicit drugs within the community are being laced with fentanyl. On March 10, 2019, at approximately 5:25 p.m., Assiniboia RCMP responded to a report of a sudden death at a residence in the town of Assiniboia. When oďŹƒcers attended the scene, they located a deceased adult male. Shortly after, local EMS arrived and pronounced the man dead at the scene. Recently conďŹ rmed evidence has led investigators to believe that the consumption of cocaine, laced with fentanyl, is what caused the death. Public safety is a concern in a situation like this. Therefore, Saskatchewan RCMP wish to warn the public of the dangers of consuming illicit drugs. Street drugs are often sold as one thing but often end up containing other dangerous substances such as fentanyl. Fentanyl is known to have been mixed with other drugs such as heroin and cocaine. It has also been used in tablets made to look like prescription drugs. It is odourless, tasteless, and hard to detect. The particular fentanyl-

laced drug responsible for the death of a man in Assiniboia may still be circulating in Saskatchewan. The general public across Saskatchewan should remain vigilant, in particular those involved in with illicit drugs. Contact with any amount of fentanyl should be completely avoided and police

should be notiďŹ ed. If any member of the public ďŹ nds illicit drugs they are concerned may contain fentanyl or carfentanil, they should leave the area and immediately call 911. Do not handle or touch them. Do not bring them to your local RCMP Detachment. If you suspect an overdose, call 911 immediately.

SAFE!

Editorial PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

Doorway to heaven and finding mercy by Ken Rolheiser k.rolheiser@sasktel.net

“I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens. I’ve been knocking from the inside.” Rumi Our spiritual quest may be compared to the man Rumi describes who has been looking for a door all his life. He finds the door, knocks on it, only to discover he is inside that door. Our search for God is baffling at times because we fail to know that God is all around us and sustains us with the gift of our very breath. We are like the fish in the ocean who asks his mother to teach him about water. The mother says,

“Everything around you is water.” In Genesis 28 Jacob had a dream about a ladder that extended all the way to heaven. Angels were ascending and descending. Jacob woke up and realized God was in this place. “This is the gate of heaven,” he said. Like you and I, Jacob was a sinner. He stole his brother Isaac’s birthright by deceiving his dying father Esau and receiving the blessing and inheritance that should have been Isaac’s. God chose to work through Jacob just as he worked through King David and St Peter and a whole list of us sinners. That is the wonderful news! Every place is a holy place, even the houses and

doors we inhabit. Jesus is present right where we live. The presence of a crucifix or prayer corner can aid us. We can picture Jesus sitting in a chair opposite us, and that can make our prayer corner special. Jesus wants to be with us, and we are always at the place where earth meets heaven. There is a story told about ancient monks who searched the earth looking for the door to heaven. Finally, they found the place where earth meets heaven. When they opened the door, they were back at their monastery, where they lived their daily lives. The good news is that God desires to be close to us daily, to watch over us and to

forgive us our weaknesses. I remember a situation of stress with one of my sons when I reached out my hand toward him. He flinched back as if I were going to strike him. I did a double take and quickly analyzed my behavior. Now I realize that God loves us more than we love our children. God would never be vindictive or judgmental. If we come near God, we are likely to get a hug and not a blow. In Madonna’s song “Looking for Mercy” she says, Every night, bef o re I c l o s e m y e y e s I say a little prayer that you’ll have mercy on me Please, dear God, to

Kipling Rec Report Submitted by Susan Hengen, Recreation Programmer Summer Slam Volleyball Skills Camp 2019 is quickly sneaking up! The camp will run August 20-22 at the Kipling School Gym, with a few spots left in both the Junior and Senior groups. Registration forms are available at the Rec Office (736-8440), #6 – 207 6th Avenue in Kipling, or by calling Susan at (306)736-8440. Summer Slam Volleyball Skills Camp is in its eleventh consecutive season, and we are excited to have Nathan Johnson and Brandon Needham back this year to instruct! The camp is a great starting point for our younger athletes to learn correct technique in all the necessary skills of the sport of volleyball. Our athletes 15 years and up benefit greatly from the expertise these former high-level athletes have acquired through their years of university play and beyond, as well as their many years of coaching. All athletes attending Summer Slam 2019 will have the opportunity to develop and/or refine all the technical skills of the game, learn new fitness and nutrition tips and participate in game play and strategy. Athletes are primarily grouped according to age, with both groups receiving 5 skills sessions, followed by a session of “wrap-up” play on the final day of the camp. August 12-16 is the final session of Red Cross Swim Lessons for the 2019 season at the Kipling & District Swimming Pool! Lane Swim is scheduled for 7:00-8:00 a.m., and 5:00-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday each week, and 12:00-1:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Aquafit is offered Mondays through Fridays at 5:30 p.m. and Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon at the Kipling & District Swimming Pool. Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. feature a “Water Workout” – a more challenging class than the other traditional Aquafit classes. Public Swimming is scheduled from 1:00-5:00 p.m. and 6:30-8:30 p.m. on weekdays, and 1:00-5:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Kipling & District Parks and Recreation’s annual Chil-

dren’s Summer Activities Program – Fun In The Sun – continues weekdays with a great lineup of activities for children and youth, ages 5-12 years. This year, parents are required to sign up their children online by clicking on Kipling Parks & Rec Youth Summer Program’s Facebook page and following the link. Parents are also reminded to fill out the registration and waiver forms available at the Rec Office or by emailing the Rec Office (kip.park.rec@sasktel.net), as well as to send a water bottle and hat with their child each day. Because our program also works in partnership with the Kipling Public Library, parents are reminded to ensure that their child has a library card to be able to take home books each Tuesday afternoon. Take a stroll on Kipling’s new Community Walking Trail. Kipling & District Parks and Recreation Board and the Walking Path Committee will be adding benches, garbage receptacles and signage to the trail, and invite everyone to enjoy walking, running or biking on it. We do, though, remind the public that motorized vehicles are not permitted to use the Walking Trail, and ask that they do not cross the trail with their golf carts. Participating in recreational activities benefits both a person’s physical and mental health. It’s all about balance. North Americans are busier than ever. Finding a way to balance the pressures of work and family with physical and mental wellbeing is important. People who make recreation a priority are more likely to feel satisfied with their lives overall, according to an American Recreation Coalition Study, 2000. In fact, 90 percent of respondents who said they participate in regular, outdoor recreation reported satisfaction with their overall lives. Contrast that to 60 percent life satisfaction for respondents who do not regularly recreate outdoors. It’s clear that simply going outdoors and moving your body is a direct way to a happier, healthier you!

Raising chickens on the farm By Calvin Daniels There is increased awareness of animal welfare needs on farms these days. Not where are concerns more defined for many than in the case of how chickens are raised. There is a perception that the common cages used in many operations are far from ideal in terms of keeping laying hens happy at least as compared a more natural approach to raising hens that would see them with greater freedom to roam. But the idea of large scale laying operations to move to hens running free range collecting eggs in way more akin to the small farm hen houses of a half century ago is not exactly reasonable in our world either, not unless the entire farm system of agriculture reverts to smaller scale farming. The trend to ever larger farms dates back to the end of the first Great War, so don’t expect that trend to suddenly change. That said consumers and common sense are going to push producers to change things, moving at least a step or two away from the image of crowded cages. The question for producers is how to balance the cost of such changes with maintaining production and returns. A recent international study has come out suggesting adopting higher welfare indoor systems doesn’t increase costs as much as once thought. The 32-page report from World Animal Protection, an animal welfare organization with offices in Toronto and around the globe, is suggesting the added cost would be 13 per cent. The 13 per cent may not sound like a great increase, although to suggest every operation could make changes and only see that increase is a bit hard to buy into. It would most likely be a range depending on various factors, meaning increases for some, and maybe even some lower. Either way there are not a lot of businesses that can see costs rise 13 per cent without concerns regarding the impact on the bottom line. While consumers might want better animal welfare there is not a lot of evidence they want to pay more for food from farms investing in change, and certainly no indication the broader food processing system will pay more. So how does a farmer absorb the cost of moving to decreasing the number of birds in a barn, adding straw, and evening changes the bloodlines of the birds is a huge question for producers. There is little doubt farmers are going to be pushed to change, and numbers like 13 per cent make it seem reasonable, but taking that sort of hit to the bottom line will cause issues for producers making the adjustment.

#SlowDown in the #OrangeZone and keep workers safe Police watching for speeders in work zones this month for speeding in work zones. That’s nearly 1,500 times drivers ignored reduced speed limits and put workers’ lives at risk. Drivers can follow these tips to keep our roads safe: Always give the road your full attention, but it’s especially important in work zones. Slow down and expect the unexpected. When planning your trip, expect delays – leave earlier, and be patient. Keep a safe following distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. Obey posted signs and flag persons. You may not see workers right away, and

even if they aren’t there work zones have other safety hazards to keep in mind. When a lane is closed in a work zone, embrace the zipper merge. It makes traffic flow more quickly and efficiently. Both road safety and workplace safety are priorities for SGI. We support Safe Saskatchewan’s Mission: Zero. The only acceptable number of preventable injuries in Saskatchewan is zero. It’s up to all of us, on the road and off, to prevent injuries. *Based on preliminary data

Always obey traffic signs and directions from any flag person you see. “ T h a t ’s s o m e o n e ’s workplace you’re driving through,” noted Honourable Joe Hargrave, Minister responsible for SGI. “The extra time you might gain by speeding through a work zone just isn’t worth the risk.” “The best advice is to plan ahead, check in with the Highway Hotline, and allow yourself additional time to get to your destination, safely,” said Honourable Lori Carr, Minister of Highways and Infrastructure. “Workers and machinery are both very close to traffic in work zones,” said Shantel Lipp, President of the Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association. “Work zones tend to be more congested due to lane reductions, so things can happen fast – which makes any number of speeders in work zones unacceptable.” “These workers are our friends, neighbours, and family members – it’s important that we do our part to get them home safe,” said Collin Pullar, President of the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association. “Through awareness and education, we can prevent many incidents and close calls in our work zones and help create the safest construction environment in Canada.” Drivers are required to slow to 60 km/h or the speed that’s posted when passing a highway worker, flag person or highway equipment with warning lights flashing. Exceeding the 60 km/h speed limit by 20 km/h will cost you $440. If you’re go-

Crop report for the period July 23 to July 29, 2019 Livestock producers continue to make good haying progress as 39 per cent of the hay crop is now baled or put into silage. An additional 27 per cent is cut and ready for baling according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report. Hay quality is currently rated as three per cent excellent, 52 per cent good, 34 per cent fair and 11 per cent poor. Hay yields have been well below normal for many producers this year and will be in short supply in several areas. Most producers have indicated that there will not be a second cut of hay. Rainfall was highly varied across the province this past week, though the moisture will help with ďŹ lling pods and heads in the later crops. Rainfall ranged from nil to 57 mm in the Turtleford area. Provincially, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as two per cent surplus, 76 per cent adequate, 21 per cent short and one per cent very short. Topsoil moisture on hay land and pasture is rated as one per cent surplus, 66 per cent adequate, 29 per cent short and four per cent very short. Crop conditions across the province are also varied, with the majority of crops

being in fair-to-good condition. Producers have indicated that some crops are in excellent condition and some remain in poor condition. Some crops are one-totwo weeks behind in development and this may be of concern depending on weather at harvest time and when the ďŹ rst fall frost occurs. Some early-seeded and winter cereals crops are beginning to ripen, and desiccating pulse crops and harvest operations will be starting in the coming weeks across the province. The majority of crop damage this week was from strong winds, hail, localized flooding, insects such as grasshoppers and aphids and a lack of moisture. There are reports of ascochyta blight causing signiďŹ cant damage in chickpea crops in the south. Producers continue with haying operations, scouting for pests and are getting ready for harvest. A complete, printable version of the Crop Report is available online at https:// www.saskatchewan.ca/crop-report. Follow the 2019 Crop Report on Twitter at @SKAgriculture.

Reconsider passing down the family business After decades of sweat and stress, many business owners would love to pass the family business on to loved ones. But having a spouse or kids take over shouldn’t always be part of the succession plan. Here’s why you may want to consider another option. According to the Family Firm Institute, only about 30 percent of family businesses succeed once the ownership is passed on to the second generation, and just 12 percent thrive into the third*. With stats like these, it might be better

to sell a business instead. However, that’s often easier said than done. It’s a common misconception that, when there are children of a family which owns a business, the kids will eventually be ready, willing and able to take over that business. But let’s say your kids have never shown any interest in taking over your business. If that’s the case, you may opt to keep the business under family ownership but hire or contract professionals to run the day-to-day operations. Depending on your per-

sonal and family situation – say one in which your kids are actively interested and/or involved in your business -- a key to a successful transition would be to ensure you have a proper and robust succession plan in place that brings your kids into your business alongside you to learn all about it long before the scheduled date of the succession. On the other hand, if a full or partial sale seems best, start prepping for the sale, by strategically extricating yourself from the

business. Delegate tasks to others, document how your billing and inventory processes work, why and when discounts are given – everything that will make it easy for prospective buyers to understand your business and feel confident they can continue its success. If necessary, bring in outside advisors to help streamline ďŹ nancial and/or other business systems. Make sure the brand identity is razor-sharp -- and then seek buyers and put together a deal. One reason why business owners like passing

down the family business is that it creates a legacy for future generations. If your kid(s) can run the business successfully, they will, in theory, have enough money for years to come. On the other hand, deciding not to transition the company to the kids doesn’t mean you don’t want them to be ďŹ nancially secure – you just have to use the proceeds from the sale wisely. Talk to your professional advisor about a financial plan that sets you up for a good retirement and helps the next generation with

their needs and wants. That way, life after the family business will be both harmonious and regret-free. *https://www.familybusinessinstitute.com/consulting/succession-planning/ Written and published by IG Wealth Management as a general source of information only.

Connection and reflection from a Saskatchewan road trip Summer road trips make the best stories; it’s undeniable. Last summer, Amanda Perrot spent nearly seven weeks trekking through Saskatchewan in her trusty Subaru, connecting with women, hosting events, and trying to heal. The Saskatchewan Sisterhood road trip logged more than 5,000 kilometres and Amanda connected with more than 1,000 women through her 15 events and plenty of informal and unexpected stops along

t h e w a y. S h e k n e w i t was a story worth telling, but even she was surprised by what she had to share when it was all done. 47 Days: A Journey Back Home is the book that tells the full story of the Saskatchewan Sisterhood road trip and Amanda’s personal journey through fear, failure, and connection. “Writing this book was terrifying and liberating— kind of like the road trip itself,� says Perrot, “but

taking the road trip and writing our shared story allowed me to understand myself and my deďŹ nition of home. I’ve seen ďŹ rsthand what happens when women are honest and open about our experiences, and I just hope this book can inspire other women to do the stu that scares them.â€? The book hit #1 on Amazon in the (spoiler alert!) divorce category when it launched, and readers have been singing its praises.

The book’s oďŹƒcial launch in Melfort on Saturday, June 22 packed the CJVR performing arts theatre at the Kerry Vickar Centre, and reunited many hosts and speakers from the trip. 47 Days: A Journey Back Home is just one more way Perrot fulfills her company mission to spread goodness, even if the catalyst for the journey might seem like a worst-case scenario. “I knew the raw power of sharing our story, thanks

to the events and connections from my road trip, but every time I hear that what I had to say has helped someone else, I’m still floored,� says Perrot. “I keep hearing

that my individual story has resonated with other women and helped them. And even though that was exactly what I wanted to do, it still blows me away every time.�
