Winter Wonderland was a big hit in Kipling

Kipling Home Hardware took first place prize for their float in the parade. By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

The Kipling Entrepreneur Group held another impressive Winter Wonderland this past Saturday! Kicking off the big day was the Santa Claus Parade in the morning with families lining Main Street. The lightly falling snow was just what we needed to set the mood. If that didn’t put you in the Christmas spirit, I don’t know what would! Immediately following the parade, most people made their way over to the Community Centre to sit down and have a turkey

drumstick for lunch. While at the hall youngsters had the chance to play some games while waiting for the main attraction….Santa Claus. And what could be better than getting a sleigh ride around town pulled by magnificent Clydesdale horses. That’s just the ultimate Christmas postcard right there! Youngsters came with their sleds to take advantage of the temporary snow hill at the old hospital grounds and warming up at the firepit. Many made their way back to the Kipling Com-

munity Centre for supper and hung around for the tree lighting and surprise fireworks. It was great to see the entries into the gingerbread house contest with the proceeds from the auction going to the Kipling Food Bank. Congratulations to the parade winners: 1 st place: Home Hardware, 2nd place: Precision Auto Glass and 3rd place: East End Tire. Hats off to the Kipling Entrepreneur Group, and sponsors and supporters, who put on an unforgettable day for the Kipling and area families and visitors.

Johnny McCuaig hits the stage in Kipling By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

There really is no sound quite like the bagpipes for whipping up an array of emotions. And few people know this as well as the Johnny McCuaig Band (otherwise known as Arcana Kings), who performed at Kipling last Thursday, Nov. 28 brought in by Kipling & District Arts Council OSAC tour. McCuaig has been playing bagpipes for many years, and as front man of the band, he spent about a decade starting in 1998 serving up all kinds of electrifying tunes, with everything from funk, blues, rock and of course traditional bagpipe melodies. The sounds are utterly unique. McCuaig started playing a variety of instruments at

a very young age. “I was really lucky. I grew up in Nelson, BC and at the elementary school I went to we had a full on music program there so the teachers were very instrumental in me learning to play guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, singing so by the time I was in grade 5 and 6 we were already touring other elementary schools with a group so it was really the teachers that got me started,” McCuaig explained. “My father wanted myself and my siblings to learn the bagpipes so that’s how I got that going. It’s in my family. My great uncle was in WW2 and he played the pipes so my father wanted me to carry on the tradition. Each of the band members have a different story as they’re Photo by Laura Kish

all from different places. I wear the kilt because it’s actually my family kilt. It’s McLeod of Harris. We were the ones that lived on the McLeod’s land. And we farmed but whenever they had to go to battle they would call us and we would have to go. We were one of many of the poorer families that lived on the big clan’s lands. And so like many other smaller families whenever they were called to war they would call all the clans together. So because we lived on the McLeod land we had to go

Dr. Wendy’s Natural Life News “SLEEP IS THE BEST MEDITATION” Dalia Llama I also think that sleep is the best medicine too! A common concern I hear from my paƟents as well as friends and family is that they typically do not sleep well. Although this may not seem an overly serious problem, disrupted sleep is a risk factor for mental health issues, heart disease, weight gain, digesƟve health issues, and decreased cogniƟve and physical performance. What causes poor sleep? The reasons are numerous. Stress, anxiety, pain, indigesƟon, children/family, excessive screen Ɵme, medicaƟons and hormonal imbalances are just a few of the reasons we don’t sleep as well as we should. How much sleep do we need? Ideally most people funcƟon best if they get at least 7.5-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. Kids under the age of 17 need more, at least 9 hours of sleep. And research has shown that geƫng at least 2-3 hours BEFORE midnight improves the quality of your sleep. How can you improve your sleep? Most people have heard of melatonin as a remedy for sleep, however, this naturally occurring hormone will only

Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy • Menopause & Hormone Balance Digestive Health Management Auto-immune & Chronic Disease Care Stress Support, Adrenal Fatigue and Thyroid Disorders

help you sleep IF you are deĮcient in it to begin with. Stress will reduce the amount of melatonin that is naturally produced as will the excessive use of screens (phones, tablets or tv) before bed. If you feel stress is impacƟng your sleep, taking a small dose of melatonin before bed may help. Reducing your stress levels by making lifestyle changes or taking a high potency B-complex will aid in reducing your stress levels. There is a lot of new research suggesƟng that limiƟng screens 60 min before bed has also shown to be helpful to improving sleep quality and quanƟty. Muscle and joint pain can oŌen be a cause of poor sleep. Ensuring you have a good bed will help improve your sleep, as does taking Magensium bisglycinate before bed. This wonder mineral can reduce muscle tension and relieve mild pain to allow a deeper, pain-free sleep. DigesƟve troubles such as heartburn/reŇux can interrupt or prevent a good nights sleep. Taking a walk aŌer meals as well as limiƟng alcohol and greasy, faƩy foods will go long way to reducing this. Adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to water before meals or taking a high quality digesƟve enzyme with meals will also reduce these symptoms. Hormonal imbalances are a common cause of insomnia as these can lead to increased feelings of anxiety, which prevents both falling and staying asleep. Also, for some, hot Ňashes and night sweats are very disrupƟve. Addressing the root cause with your medical pracƟƟoner is recommended. However, for some, drinking a cup of herbal tea and having a bedƟme snack high in protein reduces these concerns. As you can see Insomnia is a very complex and, unfortunately, common health complaint. I hope that this arƟcle has given you some valuable insights into how to improve your sleep.

to war,” explains McCuaig. “So I wear the McLeod of Harris tartan.” What do you see for yourselves down the road in the future? “We’ll play as long as we can,” says McCuaig and all band members. “As long as people will let us.” “It’s funny…we’re getting the success now but some of us are already in our 40’s.” “We want to make a career out of this …the progress we’ve made as a group and the blood, sweat and tears that we’ve all put into it is paying off now. People are starting to know who we are and we’ve been fortunate enough to travel, not only in Canada, U.S., Europe, Japan, Sweden so things are moving along,” says McCuaig. The band heads to the U.S. once or twice a year. They play Canada when they can. The group just signed to a label in France. They don’t know anything yet…it’s that new. They’re supposed to travel there next spring for a tour. “Unfortunately funding is a problem because when you’re an independent band you still pay your own way. We’re always looking to expand our financial resources, by backers, grants, doing shows, and selling our merchandise. Anything we can do to help us get to these places,” explains McCuaig. When touring Johnny leaves behind his wife and two children, although sometimes they join him throughout the summer

months when the band is doing festivals. “My wife is pretty strong and is the main reason why I can keep doing this. She looks after things and she is an amazing person! I’m one of the lucky ones!” says McCuaig. Apparently I asked the million dollar question… where do you all live? With chuckles from everyone they pointed out the window “You see that van out there?” Because the band members are from all across Canada - Saskatoon, Colonsay, Nelson, BC; Davidson/Red Deer, and Regina. “It’s a heck of a thing to get together for rehearsal!” Their officially based out of Regina. “This OSAC tour is great, we’re getting our name out there and meeting a lot of people.” “I just want to say a huge, huge thank you to the Arts Council for bringing us in,” comments McCuaig “taking a chance on something a little different.” “Kipling has been one of the best stops on the OSAC tour,” comments all band members. “You made us feel very welcome…it’s been a blast Kipling….we will remember you!” Kipling & District Arts Council tried something a little different with this show….they held a cash bar with their show. The hall was set up with tables for seating and a bit of space was left at the front for a dance floor which many took advantage of to kick up their heels.

Editorial PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

How to influence opponents and win friends by Ken Rolheiser k.rolheiser@sasktel.net

“Never can true reconcilement grow where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep.” John Milton “Paradise Lost” Actual event: I was at an executive meeting when one member attacked me in anger. I “should have” done something differently. I could see his vested interest, as he could have played a role in the other way of doing it. I did not reply in kind, but in a calm manner pointing out that, “Yes”, his suggestion had merit. In future we could do it following his prescripts. Situation diffused. Friendship maintained. We are still working together on

committee and when I can, I take his able leadership on a project. It is harder to win people over on Facebook, where people do not want to lose face, especially on topics that generate heated disagreement like politics, religion, and sex. To some it is an “all or nothing” situation. If you oppose Gay Parades you are against love and tolerance of members of our society who are victimized and rightly deserve our respect and love. This all or nothing viewpoint can lead to the very prejudice all should be trying to eradicate. Gay Parades have played a positive role in building a more tolerant society and gaining much needed recognition of some of the most

vulnerable members of our society. That does not mean that as a society we are 100% in support of all aspects of Gay Parades. I would be against Heterosexual Parades that used tactics like nudity and simulated sexual acts to shock us, no matter what the legitimate concerns their demonstrations might be promoting. I believe dialogue is a less inflammatory way of trying to reach accord. The danger is in viciously condemning anyone who does not agree with us. Show no quarter? An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! If we follow that dictum we will be left with a bunch of blind and toothless people. On Facebook, in particular, we find those who swing

from the hip and are intolerant of anyone‘s opinion but their own. As someone who has recently been referred to on Facebook as “uneducated and misinformed” and a “redneck” by association, I have some suggestions in the interests of peace and love. Avoid name calling like “Redneck”. Be open. Once you burn bridges, communication is difficult. Be compassionate. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but? Let us be a little patient with each other. Not everyone sees the “whole truth” as we see it. We need to learn about each other’s understanding of truth and to be patient and respectful about it. Some are too quick to condemn everyone else’s

Kipling Rec Report Submitted by Susan Hengen, Recreation Programmer Are you interested in learning to curl, or would like to get back into the sport and feel you need to brush up on your skills? Kipling & District Parks and Recreation in partnership with the Kipling Curling Club will be holding a Learn to Curl Clinic on Saturday, December 14, from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon at the Kipling Curling Club. A nominal fee of $5.00 will be charged. To register, call Susan at the Rec Office (306) 736-8440. Additional clinics will be held in January and February – everyone welcome! The Learn to Curl Clinic is supported by the Community Initiatives Fund. Kipling Curling Club’s Regular Curling season began on Monday, December 2 and Tuesday, December 3, but there is still time to sign up! Cost for seasonal curling is $125 for one night a week, or $150 for both nights a week (adults) or $30 for students. Participants may sign up as individuals or as part of a team. To register, call Dan Manns at (306) 736-3085 – if you sign up as an individual, the Club will assign you to a team. Kipling’s Youth Curling Program also began on Monday, December 2, 3:45-4:45 p.m. for Grades 1-3 and on Wednesday, December 4, 3:45-5:15 p.m. for Grades 4-6 at the Kipling Curling Club. Through the Youth Curling Program, kids learn the basics of the game, with lots of opportunity to play. The program is offered at no cost, as it is an initiative of Kipling & District Parks and Recreation; however, kids are expected to bring a broom and runners and a slider if they have one. Anyone interested in curling on Mondays at 1:30 p.m. is welcome to join the 49ers Curling group – you don’t have to be 49 yrs or older, and you don’t have to register ahead of time. For more information, contact Karen Bernat at (306) 736-8336. Kipling’s Jr. NBA Program (formerly the Steve Nash Youth Basketball Program) is looking for volunteers interested in coaching the program this winter. The program will be offered to boys and girls, grades 2-6,

if sufficient coaches can be found. As a coach, you are offered a one-day training workshop and supplied with practice plans for the duration of the program. Anyone offering to assist with this program should call Susan at the Rec Office (306) 736-8440 or email kip.park.rec@ sasktel.net. The program will be expected to begin in early January. Older Adult Fitness Sessions are on at the Kipling Friendship Club on Tuesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. 50 minutes of light cardio and strength, balance and flexibility training. There is no charge to participate, and the benefits are great. One of the biggest benefits of regular exercise in older adults is fall prevention. Regular exercise assists in preventing falls by strengthening muscles and bone density; adding mobility to joints and muscles; improving balance, coordination and agility; and strengthening the heart and lungs and improving circulation. The result is a person who is able to do their day to day activities with less fatigue, discomfort and strain. The Town of Kipling will be taking nominations for their Annual Volunteer Recognition Program until December 31. Volunteers may be nominated in the following categories: Seniors, Youth, Sport & Recreation, Culture & Heritage. We have so many wonderful volunteers in our community – grab a nomination form at the Town of Kipling Office and nominate some of these worthy candidates!

I roundly condemn some of his other points of view. To relate to people who have different points of view from us, first, be peaceful. You may disagree, but God loves them too. Second, find

Hemp crop an alternative to canola By Calvin Daniels cdaniels@sasktel.net

When it comes to agriculture there always seems a mix of good news and bad news floating around the sector. Certainly there has been a swirl of concern regarding the impact of the federal carbon tax on the cost farmers are incurring this year drying grain that was taken off in less than ideal condition due to weather. That situation was made more tenuous for a day, or two as propane supplies looked threatened by a rail strike, but that cloud has seemed to pass. At the same time the grain drying concerns swirled a story in the Western Producer about Canadian wheat selling to China caught my eye. To start with it was not a story of doom in terms of trade with China, and that is a key in trade based on population which of late has had some political level beefs with this country which have disrupted trade. By contrast this was a huge good news story, at least in terms of the wheat trade. It reported how Canadian wheat sales to China jumped to 1.75 million tonnes last year from a more typical 500,000 to 700,000 tonnes in previous years. A one-year upswing is good, but often is an anomaly based in any number of factors. In this case the article suggests the higher import volumes might become the more the normal level of trade if China changes the way it administers the tariff rate quota to be in line with its World Trade Organization obligations, a situation that apparently in under way. That is big news for Canada because there is a need for a crop other than canola to become valuable enough in terms of trade that it entices farmers to grow it. Canola has carried the day for several years now but the reliance on the crop tends to push crop rotations and that can ultimately lead to greater issues in terms of weeds, bugs and disease. Similarly, there was also a story at the Western Producer online edition that looked at hemp as a crop that could provide an alternative to canola. It is good that the sector continues to look at alternate crops, and with hemp there does seem to be a huge potential market developing. However, years following the sector recall a lot of new crops that were going to become important cash crops as markets developed. In many cases the markets never quite came into play, or were decidedly small making the crops too niche in nature to fully impact the sector. Still, as it stands, hemp holds a great deal of potential as we move toward a greener future, and the agriculture sector needs its good news stories right now.

Kipling School Gymnasium to be renamed in honour of Late Educator Mr. (John) Mansuy Submitted by Kipling School and The Mansuy Family

Kipling School and the family of Mr. John Mansuy are pleased to announce that the Kipling School Gymnasium will be renamed to honour the accomplishments, leadership and legacy of late educator Mr. (John) Mansuy. The process to name the gymnasium began in the spring of 2019, when Kipling School administration was approached by the Mansuy family. The Kipling School Community Council then became involved, with the decision finalized recently at the Prairie Valley Board meeting in November. “The Mansuy family would like to thank everyone who has made this dedication possible including the Prairie Valley School Division, Kipling School, Kipling School

The late Mr. John Mansuy Community Council, and everyone who has provided a donation. We look forward to the spring 2020 ceremony where the gymnasium at Kipling School will be officially renamed the “John Mansuy Gymnasium.” The Mansuy family has also established a scholarship to be awarded annually to a graduating student from Kipling School. The

scholarship is awarded to a student enrolling in a post-secondary education program with a preference given to students pursuing a Bachelor of Education. The first recipient of this scholarship was awarded in June 2019 to Burke Lyons. Additional information on how you can support the fundraising for the gymnasium dedication (will include interior/exterior lettering and a memorial plaque) or the scholarship can be found by visiting https://jmansuyfund. wixsite.com/jmansuyfund. “Family was everything to Dad and we are eternally grateful to have been part of the Kipling School Family.” A future announcement will be made regarding an official ceremony to commemorate this event in the spring of 2020.

Proceeds from the sale of the Community Birthday Calendars help fund this event. Christmas Memories.... My mother was not fond of baking but at Christmas she made several Christmas cakes and homemade chocolates. She made cherry, coconut, maple walnut (her favorite) and peppermint paddies. We also had homemade ice cream and Christmas candy, (humbugs, Licorice allsorts, gumdrops and creams) ordered from Eaton›s Catalog and of course an abundance of unshelled nuts!! Not being used to many of these items throughout the year is it any wonder that these memories are so vivid so many years later???

First Impressions The exterior of your house is just like the cover of a book, and I know what they say - “you can’t judge a book by its cover,” but I stand by my statement! Let me explain. I am not much of a novel reader, so if I am standing in the airport staring at the huge wall of books and I have no idea what’s inside, the exterior of a book had better catch my attention because that’s the one I will pick up first! In the exact same way, the exterior or the cover of your home needs to have the same effect! It should draw you in saying, “Welcome! If you love my outside, just wait till you see what is hiding behind this beautiful door!” Yes, your home’s exterior is so important, but there are so many looks, styles, and directions you can go these days it’s exciting, but can be quite overwhelming too! One of the main contributors in your exterior appeal is landscaping. It really helps with the overall drawing magnetism in type factor of your home. The landscaping is the background that gives the main focal point, (your home), the pop and attention you are looking for. Let’s start there; the exterior landscaping, the foliage, crushed rock, driveway, pathway, etc. These are places that can and will add colour to your overall look but will also add texture and interest, which is even better! When you can mimic the colour of your brick in your tree foliage or draw out your front door with the beautiful flowers you have planted, you will really start to see the best of curb appeal. You can take the most beautiful home and totally downplay it by not making the right choices on the outside. Take the time to stand back and really pay attention. What do you want to accentuate and make a focal point? If you added in some beautiful dormers or a nice covered deck, make sure you put emphasis on those places by drawing attention to them. Try different textures and combinations of rock, metal, vertical and horizontal siding to create interest and attention to certain things on your home. To keep balance, and avoid a willy nilly looking space my rule is to do everything at least twice. For example, if you use a cedar look siding in one spot, please find somewhere else to balance that colour even if it is with a beautiful chair or a pot on your deck. This creates balance which makes it more appealing to your eye. If you don’t, it almost gives you the message that it was an experiment and it feels out of place. So, make sure you mimic things even if using a different texture like a painted red door and red petunias! I think you get what I am saying. Be willing to put some time into your exterior by doing some research on some new product or work with someone who knows what’s out there for choices! This is your home and every time you want to come home, you want to feel happy and be drawn in. So, till next time, it’s That Girl Shannon saying, “You know what THEY say, you only get one chance to make a first impression, so make sure it’s memorable. Who the heck is THEY anyway?!” (Wink, wink)

KW Oil Kings lose on home ice By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

KW Oil Kings were host to the Redvers Rockets on Friday, Nov. 29th. The Oil Kings were short a few of their players at this game ending the first period behind by three goals. The Rockets would score an-

other six goals in the second to the Oil Kings only goal in the second by Brandon Munro, assisted by James Hassler and Aaron Roth. The Rockets would score yet another goal, their 10th, in the third period. The Oil Kings would go on to score only two more goals in the third period, one by Derek

Bachert, assisted by James Gallagher and Kienen Piper, and their third by Quentin Sproat with assists going to Brandon Munro and James Hassler. There wasn’t much pushing and shoving in this game as there was only one minor penalty handed out throughout the game and

that was to the Rockets. Shots taken on net were 19 for the Oil Kings and 27 for the Rockets. The next home game is December 6th when the Oil Kings welcome Midale to town. The Oil Kings then head to Wawota the following evening, Dec. 7th.

Wolseley registers road win in Lumsden, 4-3 By Stephen Scriver scriverboy@gmail.com

The 4-3 victory the Wolseley Mustangs took away from the Lumsden Arena last Saturday proved one good point: The teams of the Qu’Appelle Valley Junior Hockey League didn’t sit on their hands during the off-season. Looking around the league scores, you can see it will be an entertaining year for the fans. And although the Mustangs outplayed the Jax for most of this contest, they didn’t walk away with the win. The Mustangs struck first and early, as Cam Maier used a Jax defense-

man as a screen, putting the Mustangs ahead forty seconds into the game. One shot, one goal! Lumsden tied it up five minutes later in a goalmouth scramble, but Tristan Holbrow put the visitors ahead about thirty seconds later and the first frame ended 2-1 for Wolseley. The second period was a frustrating one for the Mustangs, as they outshot their opponents by a large margin, but seemed snakebit around the net. A couple of goalposts and many near misses were answered by the Jax with two goals to put them ahead 3-2 after two periods. Halfway through the

third, with the Mustangs controlling a majority of the play, but not solving the Jax goalie, it looked ominous until Colby Holloway and Wade Roppel put the visitors ahead to stay. Then it was the Jax’ turn to come close, almost tying the score in the last minutes. Kade Smith barred the gate for Wolseley and a 4-3 victory was in the books. A cleanly-played game saw the home team take four minors to the visitors’ three. It looks like the Mustangs are starting to find some consistency in their play, and that should improve with practice and familiarity. With two D-

men missing, the call-up of Affiliated Player Carson Macknack was necessary, and he filled the bill admirably. Although a little tentative, he found his feet by the second period. It was good to see his defensive partner, Dallas Schutz, often bringing him into the play by putting the puck on his stick. Good leadership, Dallas. The Mustangs visit Yellowgrass this Saturday, then have two home games, Lumsden on Dec. 13th and Yellowgrass on Dec. 20th. Watch for info on the Teddy Bear Toss, the Wolseley Food Bank Drive and the Puck Toss in future games.

Wade Roppel’s goal against Lumsden last Saturday was the game winner last in the third period.

Chair and Vice-Chair elected for the Prairie Valley Board of Education At the Board’s November organizational meeting, Prairie Valley School Division re-elected by acclamation Janet Kotylak as Board Chair and Judy Bradley as Vice-Chair. Both positions are effective immediately for the duration of the 2019-2020 year. “I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve as Board Chair and proud of the great

work happening in Prairie Valley School Division,” said Janet. “Our Board believes in the value of public education and brings the voice of the public to the Board and provincial/ sector tables as we work to engage parents and communities in public education.” From Montmartre, Janet has served in the education sector since her election to Montmartre’s

local school board in in 1997. She is in her eighth consecutive term as Chair and her fourteenth year as a Board member. She was also re-elected to serve as the Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) Executive Member representing the Southern Constituency at the SSBA Convention in November. Janet and her husband operate a livestock and grain farm.

Judy was an educator for more than 25 years before retiring as principal of Milestone School. She has served on the Board since 2015 and is also a member of the Audit and Risk Management Committee. Judy served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan from 1991 to 1999 and was Caucus Chairperson, Minister of Highways and Transportation and

Minister Responsible for the Status of Women. “I have a strong passion for delivering the very best possible education for students, no matter their geographic location or personal circumstances,” said Judy. “Boards of education face many challenging issues and I look forward to working in partnership with my fellow trustees and Division leaders to continue

doing great things for students.” The annual organizational meeting also assigns Board members to committees and confirms the dates for regular public Board meetings. Prairie Valley Board of Education holds monthly public meetings during the school year. For information about all Board members and Board meetings, visit www.pvsd.ca.

Shopping with product safety in mind: a message from Health Canada Wi t h m a n y h o l i d a y sales just a click away, Health Canada’s Product Safety Officer Tracey Kennedy would like to remind everyone of simple safety tips when shopping online or when travelling across the border. Kennedy says that it’s important to know who you are buying from, and to avoid websites which seem questionable. “Do some research on the vendor, including ratings and reviews from reliable sources, and their com-

pany history and return policy,” says Kennedy. “Remember that products bought online may not be as advertised or work as they should, or could be prohibited or recalled in Canada, or have mislabelled safety information. They might also be held at the border and you might lose your money.” If you are on a shopping trip outside of Canada, similar rules apply. “Be aware of products that have strict Canadian safety requirements or

may be prohibited,” Kennedy says, “otherwise you could end up bringing home items that are unsafe or may be held at the border.” Some examples of items that are banned in Canada include children’s products such as baby walkers, yoyo balls, infant selffeeding devices, and certain balloon blowing kits. Other common products which might not meet our safety requirements include car seats, children’s sleepwear, cribs, strollers, playpens, hockey helmets, face protectors, and toys. “Be careful especially with children’s toys over the season,” says Kennedy. “Even if they are legitimate, always make sure they are well-made and age-appropriate, and check to see if they use button batteries or have small parts that can be a choking hazard for small children. And remember to read the safety information and follow instructions, including on arts and crafts products.” If you are concerned about a product or want to check its recall status, you can find the latest recalls and alerts on the Government of Canada’s online Recalls and Safety Alerts database, which also has a free mobile application. You may also check out more safety tips for

online and cross-border shopping on Canada. ca, searching under keywords: Buying consumer products online; Information for Canadians Travelling Outside of Canada; and Toy Safety. Kennedy says that it’s also a good

idea to register products with the manufacturers to receive regular safety updates. If consumers have further questions about specific issues or products, they may contact Health Canada’s Con-

sumer Product Safety program at 1-866-6620666 or hc.prprodinfo. sc@canada.ca. “Have a happy holiday,” says Kennedy. “And make product safety a regular part of your shopping checklist.”

Saskatchewan Agriculture Scholarship announced The 2020 Saskatchewan Agriculture Student Scholarship Program is now accepting applications from students entering an agriculture-related post-secondary program. “Canada’s youth play a critical role in the continued growth and prosperity of the agriculture sector,â€? said federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau. “Our government is proud to support initiatives such as the Saskatchewan Agriculture Student Scholarship that provide young student leaders with the boost they need to succeed in the agriculture sector.â€? “Our industry oers unique and exciting opportunities for our province’s youth,â€? Agriculture Min-

ister David Marit said. “Careers in agriculture are rewarding and challenging as we continue down a path of technological advancement and environmental sustainability.� The scholarship encourages constructive conversations about where our food comes from and how everyone along the valuechain, from the field to table, shares a role in shaping food production. “Agriculture is my passion,� winner of the 2019 scholarship Caylee Dorval said. “The scholarship was an opportunity to kick-start my career in the ag industry. I’m excited to continue my education and to learn more about agriculture and food production in Saskatchewan.� Students are invited to submit

a creative three-minute video or 1,000-word essay sharing their food story. One winning scholarship of $4,000 and three runnerup scholarships of $2,000 will be awarded to students in Grade 12 and/or recent graduates entering agriculture-related post-secondary studies in 2020. The deadline for applications is March 1, 2020. For more information on the Saskatchewan Agriculture Student Scholarship, visit www.Saskatchewan.ca/agscholarship. This award is funded through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year $388 million investment in strategic initiatives by the federal and provincial governments.

APAS responds to appointment of Federal Cabinet, calls for carbon tax exemption The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan is welcoming the re-appointment of Marie-Claude Bibeau as Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and has asked her to work with new Environment Minister Jonathon Wilkinson to exempt fuel used to dry grain from the Federal Carbon tax immediately, and to engage on further discussions about agriculture’s role in fighting climate change and how the tax is adversely aecting Saskatchewan

producers. We have found Ms. Bibeau to be very open to discussion, and we call on her to work with the new Federal Environment Minister to bring in exemptions from the carbon tax for natural gas and propane used in grain drying. “Prairie producers have faced unprecedented challenges with damp harvest conditions, and millions of bushels of grains and oilseeds must be dried to prevent the crop from rotting.� Lewis

explained, “These are totally unavoidable costs, and the imposition of the carbon tax has added millions of dollars in extra bills that are going to be hard to pay in a difficult year. On some bills the carbon tax is a surcharge of 40% on the commodity cost of propane and natural gas. And then there’s GST on top.� Lewis said that initial estimates of costs done by APAS in April 2019 indicated an additional per acre cost of .36 cents to 89 cents per acre, but said that those costs

may be too low considering the damp conditions and APAS is updating the numbers. “More grain is being dried all over the Prairies than we have ever seen, and producers have been very startled at the extra cost of the tax when they get their bills.� Lewis concluded by saying that APAS is looking forward to engaging with the newly appointed Ministers on the need for immediate exemptions as a first order of business.
