Windthorst Pirates held a special presentation for one of their own, Gerard ‘Nardo’ Hengen, at Thursday evening’s home game. Spokesman for the evening on behalf of the ball team was Rhett Larsen and gave a short speech about their fellow teammate. “We would like to celebrate a great Pirate this evening. He started his career with Pirates baseball back in 1980 and played right up to last year, playing 27 seasons. This

The

Pirate played on many successful teams and won numerous league championships. Only one Pirate has outlasted this man, Norm Jones who in the last calculation played over 37 years, but none the less a great career. He is part of a rich baseball history in Windthorst. He not only played but was one we could always count on to help keep this diamond ready for ball. He helped landscaped the diamond that you see before you today. And after we resurrected the Pirates in 2016, and after the floods

of 2011 wiped out the dugouts and backstop, he was here, bringing his expertise in construction to rebuild a top quality facility. This is his legacy and the legacy of all the Pirates that played before us... many of whom are here tonight, and for that we are forever grateful for all the hard work and dedication to the Pirates baseball club. He is one of the longest serving Pirates. He wore #34 and is fondly referred to by his teammates and friends as Nardo. Also joining him tonight is his

BIG

brother Dominic Hengen who also played many years with the Pirates and also deserves a lot of credit for the legacy left behind. Please help me welcome and celebrate a great Pirate.” Hengen threw a ceremonial first pitch and was presented with a jersey and a framed collage of photos. Hengen ball career started when he was 7 years old. “We had an 8 & Under team in Windthorst, there weren’t many others so we practiced all the time with 12-year-olds,” explains

Hengen and adds “That was interesting!” “I played Minor Ball until I was 13 and then we ran out of players so I started with the Pirates at 14,” comments Hengen. Hengen held many positions on the ball diamond. He played first base and pitched in Minor Ball. When he started with the Pirates he played in the outfield until 1987. In 1988 he moved into the infield and played at 3rd base until his last few years of playing then it was back to 1st base. Hengen continued pitching all the years

he played. Hengen has many fond memories over the years, one of the best was in 1989. “We finally beat Vibank in our league final after four failed attempts in the previous years. Our 1995 team was the best club I was a part of. We had a very successful season that year.” Even though he’s hanging up his Pirate’s jersey, Hengen’s baseball career is far from over. “I probably will play the odd game with the team if they are short of players!”

Box and Romanow compete at Jr High Rodeo By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

Created in 2004, the NHSRA Junior High Division was established to bring the excitement of the sport to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders and to serve as a feeder system into the high school ranks of the Association. Today, all 48 states and provinces that belong to the NHSRA also produce a Junior High Division as well, with over 2,500 members in total now competing. Junior High Division students compete in a variety of events, including Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, Goat Tying, Breakaway Roping, Tie-Down Roping, Chute Dogging, Team Roping, Ribbon Roping,

and Junior Bull Riding, Bareback Steer Riding and Saddle Bronc Steer Riding. Each summer, the “best of the best� from each state and province qualify for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo. Approximately 1,000 competitors show off their talents in the event and compete for thousands of dollars in scholarships and prizes. Gallup, N.M., hosted the NJHFR from 2005 through 2013. The rodeo moved to Des Moines, Iowa, for 2014-15 and was hosted by Lebanon, Tenn., in 201617. After Lebanon, we moved to Huron, SD for 2018-19, and will arrive in back in Des Moine, IA for 2020-21.

School Rodeo in Huron, SD this past June. Kids compete from all across Saskatchewan at rodeos throughout August/September and April/ May and then have their provincial ďŹ nals in June. The top four kids from each event get to move on to Nationals where they compete against kids from the US, Australia and other Canadian provinces. For the Association, kids must submit their report cards twice a year and maintain a 70% average to be able to participate. Mia Box, daughter of Ian and Kerrie Box, of Corning is a Grade 7 student at Kipling School and at only 12 years old she has been on the rodeo circuit competitively for two years, but riding horses since she was a little girl. Box has quite a number of accomplishments thus far. She qualiďŹ ed for Nationals in 2018 and this year in Sask High School Rodeo Finals she was champion Ribbon Roping with partner Kavis Drake, Reserve Champion Barrel Racing and 5th in Goat Tying and Pole Bending. Box’s horse Mabel was named AQHA Jr Horse of the Year and SHSRA Jr Horse of the Year. Box competes in Barrels, Poles, Ribbon Roping, Goat Tying and Breakaway Roping and as for her favourite event‌. “My favorite event is whichever one goes well that day!â€? comments Box.

Box had a good week at Nationals....she placed top 30 with her Ribbon Roping partner, but she didn’t have the runs in goats or barrels she was hoping for. “I had an amazing week with the Saskatchewan team and met lots of other youth from various states/ provinces,� states Box. She is spending her summer competing in CCA & MRCA rodeos in the Jr Girls Barrel Racing and is practicing all her events for the start of the new high school rodeo season in August. Cyson Romanow, son of Clayton and Natasha Romanow, of Corning is a Grade 8 student at Kipling School. This 13-year-old started riding calves when he was just a mere 9 years old. That’s getting practice at an early age. Romanow chalked up a

Romanow is the Provincial One-handed Steer Riding winner in steer riding this year - the top four in Saskatchewan get to move on to Nationals. He also took third place for Saddle Bronc as well. Romanow won his round in saddle bronc on his second ride but didn’t make it to short go as you need two rides normally to come back. He tied with someone else to win the Selkirk CCA/MRCA on July 14th. “I will continue to rodeo for the summer and I will try to qualify for Finals in the Fall,â€? comments Romanow. Maybe one day we’ll see these two competing at the Calgary Stampede!

Have you inspected your barbecue brush? With the warmer weather upon us, many Canadians are getting out their grills. “It’s a good time to remind people of barbecue safety, especially around using wire cleaning brushes,� says Tracey Kennedy,

Product Safety Officer at Health Canada. “Over time they can lose their bristles, and if swallowed, can cause serious health problems.� Kennedy says that there are some simple steps you can take to reduce the risks.

BBQ brush safety Always inspect your brush for signs of damage. Check grills and barbecued food for loose bristles. Replace your brush on a regular basis. Stop using your brush if the bristles are coming loose or sticking to the grill. Report any incidents involving wire barbecue brushes to Health Canada as well as to the store where you bought it. Kennedy also notes that you should make sure your barbecue is in good working order, especially if it has been sitting in storage. “Do a spot check for blocked burners or metal tubes and damaged seals,� says Kennedy. “Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for usage and cleaning, and if you think there is a prob-

lem, consider having your barbecue serviced by a professional.â€? For more information, Kennedy suggests that you check out Health Canada’s Consumer Product Update: Have you inspected your metal bristle barbecue brush lately?, located on the Recalls and Safety Alerts website, where you may check regularly for recalled products or to report any consumer product-related health or safety concerns. If consumers have questions about speciďŹ c issues or products, they may also contact Health Canada’s Consumer Product Safety program at 1-866-662-0666 or hc.cps-spc.sc@canada.ca. “Enjoy barbecue season,â€? says Kennedy. “And make safety part of your summer routine.â€?

Report from the Legislature Dan D’Autremont, MLA for Cannington Today there are more people going to work in Saskatchewan than ever before in our province’s history. According to a report released by Statis-

tics Canada, Saskatchewan set an all-time record for employment last month at 592,900 jobs. Employment was up 9,200 jobs in June compared to June 2018, the

eleventh consecutive month of year-over-year job increases. Month-tomonth, employment was also up, rising by 2,500 jobs between May 2019 and June 2019.

Letter to the Editor To whom it may concern, My family and I have been working with Kipling School to do some special things in memory of my Dad, John Mansuy. We created a $500 scholarship which was awarded to a very deserving grade 12 graduate from Kipling School this year. We will be giving away this scholarship each year at graduation. We are also working on naming the Kipling School Gymnasium after

him. We are proposing it be named the John Mansuy Gymnasium. We feel these things are very ďŹ tting to honour his legacy. We are trying to raise $5,000 in order to pay for a plaque with his picture and a description of why the gymnasium is named after him which would be hung outside the gym doors. We are also looking into lettering for both inside and outside the school. We have created a website which has all of

this information as well as instructions of how to donate if you would like to do so. Thank you to those of you who have already donated. We appreciate your love and support and your contribution to honouring our Dad in this meaningful way. https://jmansuyfund. wixsite.com/jmansuyfund Sincerely, Casandra Mansuy (On behalf of the Mansuy Family)

Infrastructure projects and more top SaskWater’s highlights SaskWater’s commitment to being a trusted service provider and partner led to another successful year for the Crown corporation in 2018-19. SaskWater’s 2018-19 annual report, tabled recently, highlights a year of ďŹ nancial successes, including earnings of $7.9 million, and demonstrates how the corporation aligns with the government’s vision for a strong and growing Saskatchewan. “This year again, SaskWater has delivered innovative and eective water and wastewater solutions to its customers, grown its business, and invested in Saskatchewan’s health and prosperity,â€? Minister Responsible for SaskWater Bronwyn Eyre said. “SaskWater provides unmatched quality and expertise as it delivers its services in the province.â€? Customer growth for SaskWater in 2018-19 included signing a service agreement with the Rural Municipality (RM) of Sherwood. Under the new agreement, SaskWater took on the commissioning duties for the RM’s newlyconstructed water treatment plant, and the RM entrusted its ongoing operation and maintenance to SaskWater’s team of certiďŹ ed operators. Major projects and infrastructure upgrades were also a priority to ensure the sustainability and safety of SaskWater’s water and wastewater systems in 2018-19. The construction of a new water treatment plant in Melville is nearing completion, and commissioning is expected by 2020. In addition, signiďŹ -

cant investment went into ongoing refurbishment of SaskWater pipelines and canals serving areas east of Saskatoon. The 2018-19 year put SaskWater on excellent footing for ongoing success, as three projects were approved for funding through the New Building Canada Plan. The cost-sharing program will provide provincial and federal dollars toward an $8.47 million upgrade to Melfort’s regional water treatment plant, a $3.15 million sewage lagoon expansion in Pierceland, and the construction of a $12.2 million regional potable water supply system, east of Lloydminster. Hot, dry weather conditions this past year caused increased demand for potable water from SaskWater’s customer communities. The corporation also saw a rise in demand from ďŹ ve of its seven operating potash mines. These factors, combined with population growth around the major cities that SaskWater serves, contributed to increased revenue for SaskWater in 2018-19. SaskWater’s continued financial success is a reection of its contributions to community develop-

ment and a thriving Saskatchewan economy. The provincial Crown utility continues to supply safe, reliable and sustainable water and wastewater services in a ďŹ scally responsible manner. Other highlights of SaskWater’s activities in 201819 included: • Delivering 47.7 billion litres of potable and nonpotable water. • Project-managing 32 initiatives in northern Saskatchewan on behalf of the Ministry of Government Relations and the Northern Municipal Trust Account, 14 of which are grant-funded. • Investing $24.4 million into the Saskatchewan economy for capital projects, including new construction and expansion, infrastructure refurbishment and asset management programs, ensuring the ongoing delivery of safe, reliable and sustainable water and wastewater services. • Paying a dividend of $3.7 million to the province. SaskWater owns nine water treatment plants, three wastewater facilities, 140 kilometres of canal and 967 kilometres of pipeline. SaskWater’s annual report is available online at www.saskwater.com.

S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s u n employment rate in June was the third-lowest in the country at 5.1 per cent. Even though our economy faces signiďŹ cant external headwinds, job creators continue to have conďŹ dence in the fundamentals of our diversiďŹ ed economy. With eleven straight months of climbing job numbers, we are seeing very positive trends that supports a growing Saskatchewan economy. Saskatchewan was proud to host Canada’s Premier’s in Saskatoon for the 2019

Council of the Federation meetings. This collaborative gathering of leaders from across Canada made great strides on removing barriers to internal trade, advancing access to international markets and labour mobility and immigration. Through conversation and collaboration, provincial and territorial leaders also worked on shared priorities including strategic infrastructure investments, climate change policy, healthcare sustainability, as well as mental health and addiction services.

Editorial PAUSE FOR REFLECTION

More than beauty inside us by Ken Rolheiser k.rolheiser@sasktel.net

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and shoves you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. You spilled the coffee because coffee was in the cup. If tea had been in it, you would have spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup is what will come out. When life comes along and shakes you, and it will happen, whatever is inside of you will come out. It’s easy to fake it until you get rattled. So we have to ask ourselves....what’s in my cup? When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility? Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and actions? (author unknown) How do we get to fill our cups with what is beautiful and good? Someone is beautiful if you love them. God loves us; therefore we are beautiful. I cannot imagine God saying, “I’m going to make an ugly one.” But there is something much greater than beauty in our appearance and make-up. The Christian has a direct knowledge of God in us: “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him” (John 14:23). And that is the Holy Spirit that dwells in

us (1 Corinthians 3:16). Have you ever marvelled at the presence of Jesus inside us? How we carry him in our very flesh? It is easy for us to accept that Jesus was physically inside Mary until his birth in Bethlehem. How Mary marvelled at this mystery. How she treasured the fruit of her womb and his presence in her heart. You and I carry the same presence in our hearts and in our physical bodies. As St Augustine said, “We become what we receive” in the Eucharist. In John 6:51 Jesus assures us: “I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever.” This was a difficult concept for Jesus’ followers to accept. In John 6 Jesus says several times and in different ways: “I tell you most solemnly…He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in him.” What can be more marvelous? We can deepen our experience of Jesus in us is by carrying out the mission Christ gave us, to be his presence in the world and to serve others. Every day we have the opportunity to really feed and clothe the living, suffering body of Christ in our families and neighbors. We do not have to be on the streets of Calcutta to do this. Can we now cast aside our fears and experience this great mystery? Jean Vanier tells us Jesus came to dispel the “GOD

Kipling Rec Report Submitted by Susan Hengen, Recreation Programmer Are you looking for variety in your summer fitness goals? Give Deep Water Running at the Kipling & District Swimming Pool a try! Deep Water Running can be done whenever Aquafit is scheduled – Mondays thru Fridays at 5:30 p.m. and Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:15-1:00 p.m. The only additional equipment you will need is an AquaJogger. Made from EVA foam, the AquaJogger looks like a belt you strap around your waist. Almost any flotation vest or belt will work as well. Deep Water Running is very beneficial to anyone with joint sensitivity, as it decreases the stress on the joints, while increasing a person’s range of motion. For anyone with an injury, Deep Water Running allows them to keep their fitness up while healing their injury. Because water provides more resistance than air, you may find that you need to take shorter, quicker strides that will intensify your workout. Lane Swim times in July and August at the Kipling & District Swimming Pool are scheduled for 7:00-8:00 a.m. and 5:00-5:30 p.m. on weekdays, as well as 12:00-1:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Public Swimming is scheduled for 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. There are still select spots available for Red Cross Swimming Lessons this summer in the following sessions: July 29Aug. 2; Aug. 12-16 (2 lessons daily Monday-Thursday, one lesson on Friday for one-week sessions). Please note that the one week sessions of swimming lessons are non-refundable. Parents are encouraged to call or stop by the Kipling & District Swimming Pool to drop off their registration forms. Kipling & District Parks and Recreation’s annual Children’s Summer Activities Program – Fun In The Sun – has a great lineup of activities for children and youth, ages 5-12 years. We are excited to announce that July 23, 24, 25 will feature a Mini-Sport Camp at a cost of $10/day for participants, or all 3 days for $25! Our Mini Sport Camp includes Rugby, Tae Kwon Do and Broomball. All sports will be instructed by certified instructors provided by the Provincial Sport Organizations. Pre-registration is absolutely necessary, so get your forms into the Rec Office by July 19th!

This year, parents will be 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. The Children’s Summer Activities Program is supported by the Community Initiatives Fund, Canada Summer Jobs, PIC Canada Ltd., System III Supply Ltd., Gee Bee Construction Co. Ltd, Kipling & District Lions Club, Osman & Company Law Firm and Hub International Ltd. 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. Kipling & District Parks & Recreation has announced the dates for Summer Slam Volleyball Skills Camp 2019! The camp will run August 20-22 at the Kipling School Gym. Registration forms are available at Kipling School, Kennedy-Langbank School, the Rec Office (736-8440), or www.townofkipling.ca under Recreation. Summer Slam Volleyball Skills Camp is in its eleventh consecutive season and is a developmental camp for boys and girls 12-14 years, as well as a high-level experience for males and females ages 15 and up. Athletes 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 will primarily be 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.

of fear”. We used to think the closer we got to him, the greater the danger of his giving us a smack. “The truth is,” Vanier says, “if we get closer to him he’s going to give us a hug.” Jesus is with us for the long haul. His love remains a mystery. He loves us and wants to be present in us: “if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us; if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny himself” (2 Timothy 2:12-13).

Immigration remains an important avenue to filling job vacancies By Calvin Daniels cdaniels@sasktel.net

If one were to believe social media these days, which might be folly but many seem too, immigration is an issue for many. There is a definite backlash at least in some sectors, to immigration these days, although it does seem the concern is focused more on country or origin and religious background, than the broader issue of general immigration of which almost all of us owe our existence here. But, immigration remains important to this country, and in particular to the agriculture sector. Over the past several years, industries such as meat processing and mushroom production have experienced ongoing difficulty in finding and keeping new employees, notes a recent Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) release. This is not a new thing. It was not so many years ago that Heartland Livestock in Yorkton was in the news locally for bringing in staff from Mexico to fill spots that they could not find anyone in this country to take on. Immigration remains an important avenue to filling job vacancies. The Canadian government announced last week that it is “launching a new three-year economic immigration pilot that will fill labour shortages, particularly in meat processing and mushroom production within the agri-food sector, and help meet Canada’s ambitious export targets,” stated the release. As noted in the release, “agriculture and agri-food industry is an important con-

tributor to Canada’s economic growth and vitality, supporting one-in-eight jobs across the country. Agricultural exports hit a new record in 2018, reaching $66.2 billion.” So having access to staff to keep the wheels of the agriculture sector is important, and if Canadians aren’t lining up to fill job vacancies then the next generation of new Canadians is the only logical answer. “The success of our Canadian farmers and food processors depends on their ability to recruit and retain the workforce they need to capture opportunities at home and abroad. This pilot will help to ensure that employers in the agriculture and agri-food sector have the people they need to get the job done, to help drive our economy and to feed the world,” said the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food in the release. Under the pilot program employers in the agri-food sector who intend to be part of the pilot will be eligible for a two-year Labour Market Impact Assessment. A maximum of 2,750 principal applicants, plus family members, will be accepted for processing in any given year. This represents a total of approximately 16,500 possible new permanent residents over the three-year duration of the pilot. The program is at its heart about as Canadian as it gets, attracting immigrants to move here for job opportunities and a new life, not so different from what brought our forefathers here to farm, and build a nation. It’s just another chapter in the story of immigration and agriculture that has always been intertwined.

14,300 More jobs in May For the tenth consecutive month Saskatchewan has more people working in the province than it did a year ago. New employment ďŹ gures were out today showing there are 14,300 more people working in Saskatchewan than in May of 2018 (unadjusted). There were 586,100 people employed in May, 2019. Job growth continues to be largely driven by the private sector which has added 8,900 jobs since May 2018. “ Te n c o n s e c u t i v e months of job growth shows that job creators are having continued conďŹ dence in our economy,â€?

Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Our government is committed to ensuring that our economy has the right conditions for growth despite the economic headwinds that Saskatchewan currently faces.â€? The unemployment rate dropped to 5.2 per cent in May (seasonally adjusted), down from 6.7 per cent a year ago. Month-overmonth, the unemployment rate was down from 5.4 per cent in April. Other May highlights: • Saskatchewan had record high levels for male and female employment, full-time employment and

Chatting it up with Friendly Phone Program There are almost four decades between Evelyn Kowalchuk and Alysia Ness. Evelyn is a retiree who lives in Canora and Alysia is a land and minerals coordinator in Churchbridge. The differences between them are significant and yet they spend hours each month chatting together. They are both members of the Canadian Red Cross Friendly Phone Program. It has been almost a year since Evelyn and Alysia were paired in the program. Depending on their schedules, Evelyn and Alysia visit a couple of hours a week. They talk about anything and everything – their personal lives, current events, anything that catches their fancy.

Alysia enjoys her visits with Evelyn. “I like to visit and learn new things. I am also glad that I can make a difference for someone and it gives me perspective in terms of how things become more challenging as you age.” Evelyn likes the conversation. “It is nice to have a new friend, as it is harder to make friends [as you age].” It can be challenging for people who live in secluded areas or who have mobility issues to maintain a healthy social life. The Friendly Phone Program aims to pair seniors with Red Cross volunteers for occasional phone visits so that they can enjoy regular calls. “It benefits someone who is lonely, especially

for someone who doesn’t have a lot of family around,” says Evelyn. Alysia explains why she volunteers. “I think that nowadays people are so focused on themselves and what is in it for them, that they forget that there are others out there that need help. They [seniors] have so much knowledge and information to share. They also make great friends because they are so thoughtful and considerate.” Folks interested in volunteering or a senior wanting a new friend connection for the Canadian Red Cross Friendly Phone Program can call 306216-6602, email friendly. visitingsaskatchewan@ redcross.ca or visit the website at redcross.ca/ SKVisiting.

Before you hit the beach, know the water quality Saskatchewan residents are now able to check out the water quality at their local beaches before making the trek to the shore. The Ministry of Health will begin publicly posting the results of the Healthy Beach Monitoring Program, which collects data to monitor and identify trends in water quality and

beach safety. “By having this information easily accessible, public beach goers can make themselves aware of potential water quality issues and stay safe this summer,” Zoonotic/Environmental Health Consultant Nicole White said. “This will help people make informed decisions about their in-water

activities when visiting our lakes. It’s important to note that even if poor water quality is reported at a specific location, people can still enjoy activities such as canoeing, sailing and boating.” This year the program is monitoring 67 public swimming areas across the province - private beaches

are not included in this report. Water quality issues such as blue-green algae and poor water quality will be captured in the report and conditions will be designated as safe, caution or swimming advisory issued as below. Reports will be posted at www.saskatchewan.ca/ healthy-beaches on Mon-

days until September. “It’s important to note that local closures can happen evenings or weekends and may not be immediate-

ly reflected in the report,” White said. “Residents are always encouraged to follow notifications posted on the beach.”

New entertainment in Saskatchewan Provincial Parks This summer, Saskatchewan Provincial Parks will welcome Terrance Littletent, an accomplished grass and hoop dancer, to share his gift of dance, song and narrative to 10 different parks throughout the summer. “Terrance shares a unique performance that is sure to resonate with Saskatchewan park visitors,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky said. “We are proud to offer local entertainment that will inspire and educate our park users, I encourage everyone to attend one of these performances this summer.” “The hoop represents the circle of life,” Terrance

Littletent said. “We live in a time where we see issues, like racism, the hoop represents everyone on Mother Earth and symbolizes arms opening and inviting all people in that circle to live together in harmony.” On July 5, 2019, Terrance will kick off his summer tour in Pike Lake Provincial Park, performing alongside the Festival Fransaskois, a family-friendly event that celebrates the Francophone culture in Saskatchewan through music, food and fun activities. To enjoy one of Terrance Littletent’s performances, a detailed event listing is provided below: • Saturday, July 20

Province one stop closer to Household Hazardous Waste Management Program The Government of Saskatchewan recently enacted The Household Hazardous Waste Product Stewardship Regulations, paving the way for an important new provincial recycling program. The regulations require first sellers – businesses that manufacture, sell or distribute household hazardous waste products in the province – to operate a product stewardship program for the collection and safe disposal of these products. Household hazardous waste includes materials with a flammable, corrosive or toxic symbol on the container, as well as pesticides and batteries. “Through consultation and engagement with the public, we clearly under-

stand that household hazardous waste is a priority issue, as it poses a risk to human health, safety and the environment,” Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. “A new household hazardous waste stewardship program will help protect the environment by reducing the amount of hazardous material improperly disposed of in our municipal landfills and sewer systems.” The development of regulations for an industry-led household hazardous waste program has been a significant focus for the Ministry of Environment over the past year. Once the program is established, citizens across the province will have access to responsible disposal options for these

materials. The next step for first sellers is to produce a product stewardship program for review by the Ministry of Environment within 180 days. Once approved, a further announcement will be made on program details and implementation. Saskatchewan has many examples of successful stewardship-based initiatives, including programs focused on the collection of automotive fluids, tires, paint, electronics, paper and packaging, and agricultural plastics. Through this model, producers of these products manage the full life cycle of the products in an environmentally responsible manner and create systems for accountable waste management.

Parks Week 2019 – So much to do in Sask Provincial Parks In celebration of Saskatchewan Parks Week from July 14 to 20, 2019, a variety of activities, events and contests are taking place all week long. “This week will offer something for everyone,â€? Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky said. “Whether you plan to take in a park for the very ďŹ rst time or you are an avid park user, a trip to one of our many Saskatchewan Provincial Parks will not disappoint.â€? Kicking o Parks Week, visitors to provincial parks were encouraged to take advantage of the free ďŹ shing weekend on July 13 and 14. The free ďŹ shing weekend was an opportunity to ďŹ sh without purchasing an angling license. During the month of July, Tourism Saskatchewan and Sask Parks will be giving away free ďŹ shing lures during Sask Parks programming at many provincial parks. All summer long, recipients are encouraged to take a photo with their catch and new lure for a chance to win a prize! Before the end of August, contest participants can sub-

mit their photos to the SaskParks Facebook page for their chance to win a $200 Cabela’s giftcard. Saskatchewan Parks will be hosting a “Take a Hikeâ€? Challenge in all provincial parks on July 20, Canada Parks Day. Participants are encouraged to track their steps using a pedometer and then submit a screenshot of their total steps to the SaskParks Facebook page for a chance to win one of three prize packs. The Sask P arks Learn to Fish program is back by popular demand and oers an opportunity for new or interested anglers to learn the art of ďŹ shing from Je or Jason Matity, two local Saskatchewan fishing experts and hosts of Matity’s GetFishing.com and YouTube channel. This program will be offered at Moose Mountain, Duck Mountain, Saskatchewan Landing and Buffalo Pound Provincial Parks. New to Sask Parks this year, performer Terrance Littletent will perform in Meadow Lake Provincial Park during this week of celebration. Terrance is an ac-

complished grass and hoop dancer and will be sharing his gift of dance, song and narrative during Parks Week and throughout the summer. Returning to Sask Parks, Saskatchewan Express will be performing their timeline series “Reel Musicâ€?, a show packed with the most iconic soundtracks from Hollywood’s best ďŹ lms including Jaws, Titanic and A Star is Born. During Parks Week, Saskatchewan Express will be performing in Cypress Hills, Good Spirit and Greenwater Provincial Parks.

More parents helping children to purchase homes In the long list of parental responsibilities, helping kids buy their first home is making its way to the top. Competitive housing markets are surely contributing to the need for financial assistance but there are other factors. Compared to previous generations, kids have to stay in school longer to effectively compete in the job market, while the cost of post-secondary education steadily rises. Many university graduates are strapped with student loans that make saving for a home difficult, too.

In varying degrees, parents across Canada are helping kids enter the real estate market. In British Columbia and Ontario, the provinces with the hottest housing markets, 42% and 35% of these home buyers, respectively, received financial help from family, according to research from Ratehub*. The Atlantic Provinces had the lowest rate of assistance at 18%. Much of the money parents contribute is going toward the down payment, but how much people put down varies from prov-

ince to province. In British Columbia and Québec, 45% of home buyers put down at least 20%. In Ontario it’s 38%, while only 20% of people in Manitoba and Saskatchewan meet the 20% marker*. Those who don’t put down at least 20% are required to pay mortgage default insurance premiums. The amount you pay for this insurance declines as your down payment increases. Parents helping kids buy a house can make sense, but parents do need to consider the financial implications of helping,

especially when it comes to three main financial assistance options. Loan - This can be a good way to top up a down payment after the minimum is met or it could be used to cover closing costs. But take note: commercial lenders will ask about all outstanding debts, and parents will have to declare interest from the loan on their tax return. Co-sign - Many parents co-sign a mortgage, and while that can get children their own abode it comes with risks, too. If the kids

default on their mortgage payments, the co-signees would be on the hook for the entire outstanding balance. Gift - One of the easiest ways to help a child is to give them a financial gift. There’s no tax on cash gifts, but if the parents purchase a house for the child to live in, then the parents, as owners, may have to pay income tax on any capital gain when the house is eventually sold. If you’re a parent wanting to help your kids buy their first home, make sure you do that without

putting your own financial life in jeopardy by seeking advice from your professional advisor. *https://www.ratehub. ca/blog/canadians-needed-financial-help-to-buya-home/ Written and published by IG Wealth Management as a general source of information only.

$50 Million in highway improvement projects announced The Government of Saskatchewan has released its 2019 Spring Tender schedule, which lists more than $50 million worth of highway improvement and safety projects that will be tendered in the next several weeks. This is in addition to more than $250 million worth of construc-

tion announced in the Fall Tender Plan, released last September. The 11 projects include more than 110 km in resurfacing, grading and paving, spot improvements, two bridge replacements or rehabilitations, and 21 culvert installations. “The Government of

Saskatchewan is focused on investing in our highways, with the release of $50 million in projects people can expect to see crews working on the road,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Lori Carr said. “Please slow down and remain patient when passing through

construction zones so our crews can upgrade our roads safely.” Highlights include: • Highway 1 bridge replacement over the CPR near Swift Current; • Highway 1 intersection improvements including grading, paving and new ramps at Kalium access

road; • Highway 6 resurfacing near Southey; • Highway 7 resurfacing west of Delisle; • Highway 39 resurfacing near Milestone; and • Highway 47 resurfacing south of Estevan. While tender advertisements are underway, the

start dates for these projects depend on when the tender is awarded, contractor availability and weather. All tenders can be found at www.sasktenders.ca. The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $9 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008.

CAA Says: Let’s Plan to Stay Safe this Summer Whether your summer vacation plans include camping, road trips, enjoying the cottage life, cycling, or a staycation, CAA Saskatchewan has put together some valuable tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe this summer. Pedestrian and School Zone Safety: caask.ca/ schoolzonesafety * School yards, playgrounds, and parks are still busy places for children of all ages. Motorists, please watch for children, drive with caution and reduce your speed. Observe the posted speed limit and regulated days and hours as some areas may be designated for lower speed limits during the summer months. * Parents and caregivers, please teach children about pedestrian safety. Remind them to never run out in traffic or between parked cars, buses or buildings. Look both ways before crossing the street, and cross only when safe to do so. Don’t play distracted; avoid using cell phones for texting or gaming. Be alert, keep your head up, look around and always be aware of your surroundings. Driver Safety: caask.ca/ driversafety * Allow plenty of travel time to reach your destination. Set the GPS or review all maps and directions before getting behind the wheel. Stow and secure loose objects. Prepare children with everything they need before heading out. Plan your route in advance and share details with friends or family. Children’s car and booster seats should be correctly installed. All passengers including the driver must wear seatbelts.

* Drive according to the current weather and road conditions. Remember the slow down, move over rule: Slow to 60 km/h on Saskatchewan highways when passing working tow truck operators and first responders. * Please don’t drive impaired. Pack a roadside assistance kit and include a flashlight with extra batteries, a first-aid kit, tire pressure gauge, pliers, adjustable wrench, blanket, or purchase a roadside assistance kit at your local CAA Store. Add non-perishable food and water, windshield washer fluid, jumper cables, and emergency flares or reflectors. Pack a mobile phone with charger, for emergency use only. Ensure that your driver’s license, vehicle insurance, travel insurance, and CAA membership are up-to-date. Highways will be busy this summer with increased traffic of cars, trucks, bicycles, motorcycles, recreation vehicles and farm machinery. Let’s share the road safely and responsibly. Be on the look-out for wildlife. Remember to keep two hands on the steering wheel, remain focused and attentive. Driver Distractions: * A November 2017 CAA Saskatchewan poll found an overwhelming majority of drivers in the Prairies think texting and driving is getting worse. Texting and driving is tied with drunk driving as the #1 road safety concern among drivers, according to CAA’s poll. 96% say that drivers who text and drive are a threat to their personal safety on the road. Eliminate distractions while driving, such as use of mobile phones, eating, drinking, adjusting

entertainment or navigation systems, grooming, long conversations and smoking. Keep your eyes and mind focused on the road. Automotive & Recreation Vehicle (RV) Safety: * Have your vehicle inspected prior to travelling to ensure your vehicle is in top operating condition and to avoid breakdowns during your summer travels. If unexpected breakdowns do occur, be sure to have access to a roadside assistance provider like CAA. The CAA Mobile App is also available to access roadside service or for CAA Member benefits including TripTiks, tour books and maps. * Check the tires, brake fluid, coolant and oil plus window washer wipers and fluid. Examine belts for proper belt tension. Vehicle batteries should also be checked and this can be easily completed at the CAA Care Centre at Regina Battery Depot, or at any CAA Approved Auto Repair Service. * The wheels on recreation vehicles, boat trailers and camper trailers should be checked as well. The wheel lug nuts need to be set to the proper torque to make sure they do not come loose or come off the trailer. Wheel bearings should be greased and adjusted annually, and trailer suspension springs also need to be inspected for wear. Read the vehicle or RV owner’s manual for mechanical or maintenance information. Bike Safety: caask.ca/ bikesafety * Cyclists, remember to yield to pedestrians, stop for stop signs, and travel with the flow of traffic. If you are riding a bicycle,

you are considered – by – law – a vehicle on the road. If you dismount and walk alongside your bike, you are considered a pedestrian and have the same rights as a pedestrian. Always follow the rules of the road when riding on city streets and rural roads. Plan your ride and avoid dangerous routes. To choose the best bicycle for you, consider size, frame, and seat height, as well as the type of roads or trails you ride on. Always wear a helmet. It’s important to be seen, be heard, and be ready.

Senior Judging Bailey McCormack, Whitewood

Cloverbud Showmanship Tanner McCormack, Whitewood

Congratulations to all of the members on a great day and thanks to everyone who made this day possible. 4-H is a great program that teaches leadership, dedication and hard work to its members and leaves them with the tools to become great community leaders. Without the dedication of the leaders and volunteers, and without the support of the steer buyers and sponsors, this show would not be possible, and these young members would not have the chance to complete their projects and showcase all of their hard work.

Fall application of glyphosate The Canola Council of Canada, Cereals Canada and Pulse Canada are issuing a reminder that improper use of glyphosate can create market risk. “Glyphosate is an effective tool for pre-harvest perennial weed control, but is not to be used as a desiccant,� said Greg Bartley, Manager, Crop Protection and Crop Quality at Pulse Canada. “Improper or off-label use can leave residues that exceed maximum allowable limits and put crop marketability at risk.� When using glyphosate to control weeds pre-harvest, growers can avoid unacceptable residues in the harvested seed by following these Keep it Clean! guidelines: Waiting until the least mature areas of the crop reach a seed moisture level of less than 30 per cent before applying glyphosate to avoid unacceptable

This level of scrutiny has the potential to impact the way the product can be used in Canada in the future. By following the steps listed above, Canadian farmers can do their part to demonstrate responsible product use and protect the investments they have made in their crop. “By carefully planning and managing fall applications of glyphosate, growers can protect their investment and help to keep this effective and valuable tool available for use in Canadian crop production for years to come,� said Brian Innes, Vice President, Public Affairs at the Canola Council of Canada. Growers are encouraged to visit keepingitclean.ca/ glyphosate to learn more and to see examples of various crops at the correct stage to receive fall glyphosate application.

winter to gauge feedback on two potential new models of collecting royalties on saved seed. The government consultation process is currently on hold; however, several prairie farm groups would like to hear more from producers on the proposed changes before the consultations resume later this year. “The creation of a new seed royalty model for cereal crops will mean significant changes for producers when it comes to the issue of farmersaved seed. Further exploration and consultation is absolutely critical to ensure that the interests of Canadian producers are reected in any resulting model,â€? said Lynn Jacobson, president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture. “It is crucial that we hear from farmers and producers on the two new

proposed models, because consultation with those who are directly aected ultimately leads to better decision making,â€? Bill Campbell, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers said. “Our hope is that producers will take the time to get involved in this process and ensure their needs are met under a new royalty structure.â€? Todd Lewis, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan agrees. “Producers certainly weren’t satisďŹ ed with the level of engagement and consultation that went into the development of the two models currently under consideration. We want to make sure that producers stay on top of these discussions and have their voice heard throughout the process,â€? he said. The survey is now available at seedroyaltysurvey. com.

Crop report for the period July 2 to July 8, 2019 Crops across the province are advancing as a result of the warm weather and moisture, although crops are behind or at their normal developmental stages. Sixty-seven per cent of the fall cereals and 32 per cent of the spring cereals are in the heading stage, while 38 per cent of the canola and mustard and 54 per cent of the pulse crops are owering. Crop conditions vary greatly across the province, with the majority in poor-to-good condition. Livestock producers now have seven per cent of the hay crop cut and three per cent baled or put into silage. Hay quality is rated as

one per cent excellent, 47 per cent good, 33 per cent fair and 19 per cent poor. Many swaths are signiďŹ cantly smaller than normal due to the lack of moisture this spring. Although many pastures have greened-up from the moisture, they are expected to have a reduced carrying capacity. Pasture conditions are rated as three per cent excellent, 38 per cent good, 42 per cent fair, 15 per cent poor and two per cent very poor. Rainfall last week ranged from trace amounts to 92 mm in the Kelliher area. The Grenfell area reported up to 80 mm of rain, the Leader area 35 mm, the Foam Lake area 26 mm, the Macklin area

25 mm, the Humboldt area 8 mm and the Glaslyn area 48 mm. There were also reports of strong winds and hail causing damage to crops. Provincially, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as two per cent surplus, 79 per cent adequate, 18 per cent short and one per cent very short. Topsoil moisture on the hay land and pasture is rated as one per cent surplus, 75 per cent adequate, 22 per cent short and two per cent very short. Producers have been applying fungicides, where warranted, on pulse, cereal and oilseed crops. Other sources of crop damage this week include localized flooding, strong winds,

hail, lack of moisture and insects such as grasshoppers. Root rots have also

caused some damage in pulse crops. Farmers are busy haying,

scouting for insects and disease, repairing equipment and hauling grain.

More people working in Saskatchewan than ever before According to a report released by Statistics Canada, Saskatchewan set an alltime record for employment last month at 592,900 jobs. In June, employment was up 9,200 jobs compared to June 2018, a 1.6 percent increase, the eleventh consecutive month of year-

over-year job increases. Month-to-month, employment was also up, rising by 2,500 jobs between May 2019 and June 2019, a 0.4 per cent increase (seasonally adjusted). “With eleven straight months of climbing job numbers, we are seeing very positive trends that

supports a growing Sask a t c h e w a n e c o n o m y, â€? Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Even though our province’s economy is facing signiďŹ cant external headwinds, job creators continue to have confidence in the fundamentals of our diver-

siďŹ ed economy.â€? The unemployment rate in the province dropped to 5.1 per cent in June (seasonally adjusted), down from 6.2 per cent a year ago. Saskatchewan had the third lowest unemployment rate in the nation. The national unemployment rate rose to 5.5 per cent in June.

Other June highlights: • All-time records were set in June for the workingage population (888,900), labour force (621,400); employment (592,900); • Regina’s employment was up 4,900 (+3.5 per cent), and Saskatoon’s employment was up 4,100 (+2.3 per cent) compared

to last June; • Major year-over-year gains were reported for accommodation and food services, up 5,400; professional, scientiďŹ c and technical services, up 3,000; information, culture & recreation up 2,200; and • Private sector jobs, up 9,900 (+3.0 percent).
