Health Complex Grand Opening celebrated in Watrous Provincial politicians joined local residents at a grand opening ceremony to celebrate the completion of the Watrous District Health Complex last Thursday, June 14. Minister responsible for Rural and Remote Health Randy Weekes, Arm River-Watrous MLA Greg Brkich, local town and rural municipality ofﬁcials, and members of the Saskatoon Health Region and its board also took part in the milestone event. The Complex incorporates the Watrous Hospital and a new long-term care home addition – Manitou Lodge, named after the former long-term care facility in Watrous. The new Manitou Lodge is the ﬁrst long-term care facility renewal project to be completed out of the 13 originally announced by government in 2009. The integrated health complex offers a wide range of comprehensive health services, including acute care, long-term care, home care, public health, mental health, therapies and addiction services. It has 43 long-term care beds and eight

acute care beds. “Saskatoon Health Region congratulates the Watrous Community Health Foundation and the communities who supported the construction and furnishing of the new Watrous District Health Complex,” Saskatoon Health Region Vice President of Finance and Corporate Services Nilesh Kavia said. “The province had the foresight in 2009 to plan to replace 13 long-term care facilities throughout Saskatchewan. Saskatoon Health Region is one of the recipients of that financial and social investment. But the true beneficiaries are the pioneers of this province. This is truly putting our residents first.” The provincial government, Watrous Community Health Foundation, and the area municipalities together invested $14.4 million in the new Manitou Lodge long-term care addition, and enovation to the Watrous Hospital building. The provincial share is $11.2 million. Residents will move into Manitou Lodge the week of June 18.

Nokomis Legion Flag Day 2012

The Nokomis Legion Branch #290 (incorporating Govan and Lockwood) held its 11th Annual Flag Day in Nokomis on Friday, June 10. The Lockwood ceremony was held at 9:30 am, followed by the Govan event at 11:30 am, and the Nokomis event at 2:30 pm. Flag bearers for all three events were Art Ramshaw and Bill Riach. Doug Potter provided the welcoming remarks and Chaplain Rick Shott performed the Call to Worship. Following the Govan service, some members proceeded to St. Olaf’s Cemetery to place ﬂags in the crosses of Osborne Sorteberg, Harold Sorteberg, Norman Clausen, and Art Larson. Following the Nokomis service, Chaplain Shott read the closing prayer and the participants closed out the afternoon with coffee and lunch at the Legion Hall. This year is the 66th Anniversary of the Nokomis Legion, Branch 290. See page 2 of the June 19 issue of The Market Connection for more photos from this event. -photo by Dennis Simpson

opinions – letters – comments

letters to the editor Dear Editor: The Harper government is going soft, or should I say softer, on foreign takeovers of Canadian companies. In its latest reforms to the Investment Canada Act, the government will give up powers to safeguard the Canadian economy when foreign ﬁrms buy their Canadian competitors. After the damage done by takeovers by Caterpillar, U.S. Steel, Vale, AbitibiBowater, and other foreign companies, one might think the government would strengthen our investment laws. Instead, it is diluting them by raising the threshold for federal reviews of foreign takeovers from $330 million to $1 billion. Thus, if a foreign company buys a Canadian competitor worth less than $1 billion, the government will relinquish its role in reviewing the deal. Worse, the change will be difﬁcult to reverse because of restrictive rules in NAFTA and other trade agreements. The change has little to do with encouraging foreign investment that contributes to the Canadian economy. The review process does not even apply to foreign investment that does not involve the takeover of a Canadian company.

Foreign firms wishing to set up a new business in Canada have long been free to do so. Instead, the review process under the Act allows the government to limit possible harm caused by foreign takeovers. It has been used pragmatically to require foreign buyers to maintain production, employment, headquarters, and research and development in Canada. In its entire history, the Act has been used only twice to block a takeover. The reviews are beneficial because they deter foreign companies from looting Canadian assets. They send a signal to the market that, if a Canadian firm is for sale, foreign buyers should commit to maintaining Canadian jobs and profits for a reasonable period. By diluting the rules, the government opens the door to the wrong kind of foreign investment: that which buys Canadian businesses to raid assets and technology and to shutter competition. It creates an environment where more and more rapacious Caterpillars can eliminate Canadian production and devastate communities. Presumably the government will then throw up its hands as it did in the Caterpillar case – and say it has no role to play. This reflects a pattern with the

current government. Largely on its watch, numerous Canadian companies have been given over to foreign ownership. American, Chinese, Brazilian; capitalist or Communist; it seems no foreign offer to acquire a Canadian asset will be refused. We are a resource economy, but if we do not add value to our exports we are in deep trouble. Unfortunately, the Conservatives seem intent on taking Canada out of the value-added business by shipping or piping away our raw resources for processing in other countries, while neglecting the manufacturing sector. In the long run, this is a major mistake. To support a value-added economy, the government has to play a role alongside markets. It should encourage markets to ensure tough competition but also support Canadian ownership. The aim is to have Canadian firms at the edge of the technological frontier so they can command super-profits for their products, at home and abroad. Obviously this goal is imperiled by a hands-off approach to foreign takeovers. The government defends its hands-off approach by invoking free markets. In truth, there is no free market. There is only a messy world in which markets interact with the policies of governments. If our government chooses to sit on its hands, others will thank us and then fleece us. The real effect of the government’s policy

We are in the midst of changes we never dreamed of, yet one thing has remained pretty much the same – the small town weekly. I can see no difference between the one I remember as a child and those I see now, except that modern pictures are in colour. In fact, many large dailies that used to cover international events are turning more to local news on their front page. That’s what readers want, for they can get world news on their televisions, even as it’s happening. Right now, small town papers carry lots of graduation group shots, and they are not all from the town where the paper originates. Many surrounding towns and villages are covered too, and all the photos must have lists of names. The same goes for club activities, a new business starting

is to favour foreign companies – and the bankers, lawyers, and accountants who service them – that want to buy Canadian assets and then run (or raid) them according to their own priorities. From the U.S. to Brazil to Europe to China, other governments combine markets with conscious support for national firms. They take steps to block foreign raiding of their corporate assets and strategic resources. Canada supports the emergence of Canadian companies through its health, education, and research policies, for example. Yet when our companies prove themselves competitive, the government serves them up for foreign buyers. This is a bit like the general who orders soldiers to fight with batons because he thinks guns are dishonourable. Frankly, the Harper government appears willing to sacrifice a value-added economy in order to appease foreign interests, especially in the resource sector. In the colonial era, those who profited from selling out their people to foreign interests were called compradors. Perhaps we should start using that word again.

up, a new doctor or police ofﬁcer moving to town, or a change in medical or police service. All these are naturally of vital interest to the residents. Small town people work hard to keep their community going, and the paper often reﬂects the efforts of volunteers by featuring photographs of them receiving cheques to carry on the work of their organization. Everyone is interested, too, in events at the seniors’ centre or the retirement home, for everyone in town knows elderly people or has family members involved. Holidays are celebrated and photographed for the paper, as well as pot luck suppers. The amazing thing about pot luck suppers (and I’ve been to many) is that there is always plenty of everything.

Gerry guessed wrong Dear Editor: It comes as no surprise that over 90% of Viterra shareholders voted to sell out to an international commodity trading company. Predictions that ending the CWB single desk would accelerate the sale of Viterra to foreign companies are correct. Yet Minister Ritz claimed in the House of Commons the exact opposite would happen – He boldly stated that Canadian companies would be buying out the multinationals- well, another one Gerry guessed wrong! If the previous consolidations in the grain industry are anything to go by the Competition Bureau will do nothing. Aside from filling desks with drones it’s real mandate seems to amount to making sure sellers advertise properly with no emphasis on lack of competition! Premier Wall and Prime Minister Harper are looking the other way, even though farmers will receive less financial returns, not to mention that many jobs in rural areas that will be lost. What hypocrites! Compare this to the potash takeover. If it affects farmers they do not care as long as they themselves or their governments are not hurt financially/politically. In any case their goal was to kill the CWB and if they have to watch the Canadian grain industry be bought up by foreigners, then their ideological zest will let them watch that happen even if it hurts farmers! Even APAS seems to support the takeover of Viterra. Ironic how a Canadian farm group would be in favour of a Canadian company being bought out by a transnational and losing control of that industry to a boardroom on the other side of the ocean. They then go on to comment on the concern they have with decreased fertilizer competition because of the consolidation. Seems a bit hypocritical, but fence sitting seems to be an APAS specialty! However the most interesting comments on the sale of Viterra came from Marvin Wiens the last full time farmer President of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. He states “there were many people who fought extremely hard to keep the pool because we knew if we lost that farmer input at the board table, farmers would lose, and I think we have lost.” He is absolutely correct farmers have lost; however back then when it mattered, he was not one of those who fought hard for farmer ownership and control. He was told farmers would lose control but he would not listen. In fact farmers have lost and now not only will there be no farmer input at the Board table there will not likely be any Canadian input. We can thank the leadership of people like Wiens, Harper and Ritz for that! Canadian farmers are the big losers in the Viterra sale. Aside from the new owners of Viterra, there is one other major winner in this sale: the former CEO, a man walking away with $37.5 million, presumably back to the States! Kyle Korneychuk Pelly, SK Korneychuck is one of the former farmer-elected directors of the CWB.

provincial news briefs Expanded partnership with Canadian Red Cross The Canadian Red Cross (CRC) will now be operating evacuation shelters across the province, as part of a new agreement with the Government of Saskatchewan. The shelters will be used to house evacuees in the event of disasters such as forest fires or extreme flooding. The three-year service agreement with the CRC will increase the province’s ability to provide for the basic needs of individuals and families by expanding the capacity to provide an Emergency Social Services (ESS) response. This agreement will enable the CRC to take on ESS shelter management across the province beyond Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. “The Canadian Red Cross has a long history of helping Saskatchewan people during times of need,” Canadian Red Cross Provincial Disaster Management Lead Kim MacLean said. “This agreement signals a new era for our organization in this province and we are looking forward to serving Saskatchewan people alongside Emergency Social Services.” This agreement requires the province to pay CRC an upfront cost of $105,700 ($0.10 per capita) to cover CRC’s cost of training a network of volunteers capable of managing and operating multiple shelter accommodations for evacuees in the event of disasters, and for the cost of supplies such as cots and blankets. The government will also reimburse the CRC for direct expenses it incurs in operating shelters for our citizens (food, facility rentals, hygiene products, etc.). This announcement expands the

government’s 2011 agreement with the CRC for shelter management and increases the province’s capacity to respond to citizen needs during a disaster event. Partnership with nurses renewed The Sask Party government, the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN), and the Regional Health Authorities signed a renewal of their partnership agreement last week. This two-year renewal builds on a 2008 SUN/government partnership, which committed the parties to work together to solve Saskatchewan’s shortage of Registered Nurses (RNs), Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs), and Registered Nurse (Nurse Practitioners) by supporting and maintaining an appropriate, experienced, educated and engaged registered nurse workforce for the provision of high-quality, safe patient care. The renewed partnership agreement recognizes the importance of a collaborative approach and the use of Lean principles. “This partnership recognizes the critical role registered nurses play in ensuring the future sustainability of the health care system and we look forward to partnering with both employers and government on this ground-breaking initiative,” SUN spokesperson Rosalee Longmoore said. “We are extremely optimistic about the potential for this collaborative approach to truly transform how we deliver patient-and family-centered care in the province.” The partnership will also explore areas such as: maximizing employment opportunities for graduate nurses; addressing the challenges

of retaining and recruiting registered nurses into rural and northern facilities; working collaboratively toward a culture of safety; targeting recruitment and retention initiatives; and increasing employee engagement. The first of its kind in Canada, the 2008 agreement set out a framework for SUN and the provincial government to work with health regions to hire 800 RNs, RPNs and and RN(NP) s with annual targets set out for achieving this goal over four years. Now more than 900 additional registered nurses are now working in

the province, more than exceeding the goal. Most of these registered nurses were hired as part of the work under the partnership agreement. SUN’s membership includes almost 9,000 Registered Nurses, Registered Psychiatric Nurses and Registered Nurse (Nurse Practitioners). Saskatchewan firefighting aircraft gone south Three Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment firefighting planes have gone to the United States to help fight wildfires there. The planes will work with United States Forest Service

for 10 to 14 days, with a possibility of an extension. Current forest conditions in Saskatchewan have allowed the ministry to make some of its resources, including these aircraft, available to assist other jurisdictions. A pair of Convair 580A air tankers and one Turbo Commander birddog aircraft, along with eight crewmembers, left Saskatchewan last Tuesday for Boise, Idaho. Staff were briefed before being deployed to Grand Junction, Colorado on June 13 to work under the direction of the United States Forest Service.

Honouring Sask’s protective services personnel Provincial Secretary Wayne Elhard joined Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield to present recipients with the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal in Regina last week. “These recipients have affected for the better the lives of every single man, woman and child in this province,” Elhard said. “They represent a long tradition of dedication, excellence and often fearlessness. Each of us owes them a debt of gratitude, not only for the work that they have done, but the example that they have set throughout their communities and our province.” The medal recognizes individuals who have 25 years or more of exemplary service protecting the people of Saskatchewan or their property. This can be in either a volunteer or a fulltime capacity. Current recipients include firefighters, police officers, corrections workers, conservation officers, members of the Canadian Forces and emergency medical responders. Local recipients include Ken Hogbin of Strsabourg EMS and Michael Swift of Watrous & District Ambulance Service. Established in 2003, the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal is administered by the Saskatchewan Protocol Office in close cooperation with the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police, Saskatchewan Firefighters Association and other agencies whose personnel are eligible for the honour. A second ceremony will be held in Saskatoon on June 18 at the Saskatoon Inn to recognize recipients from the central and northern regions of the province.

Nokomis School Drama Club presents The Ransom of Miss Elverna Dower Nokomis School Drama Club presented The Ransom of Miss Elverna Dower on Tuesday, June 12 at Nokomis Centennial Hall. It was a comedic tale about Casey (Kelsey Halstead) and Tim (Chase Holbrook) who nab their unpopular English teacher to avoid having to do an oral presentation, but they ﬁnd that no one wants her back! The new principal of the school (Cara Henry), tries to enjoy her day without the harassing Miss Dower around, but the maintenance man (Tylan Holbrook) can’t manage to keep the lights or the heat on in the school. The school secretary (Ash-

ley Hards), and the assistant principal (Amber Reynolds), try to keep the school running smoothly while the Cookie Captain (Adam Landru), the PTA President (Nina Guan) and her assistant (Cassandra Knouse), try to raise funds for a new boiler. A high-strung teacher, Miss Hightower (Peyton McNichol), the school Viking Mascot (Cylus Zdunich), and his cousin (Sydney Reynolds), Mr. Lockman (Tyson Hunter) with his ﬂashy tie, and the Arts Festival Chairperson (Savanna Kautz), add humour and confusion to the day. The play was directed by Mrs. Stratton and Mrs. Tait. Tea, coffee and delicious desserts were served at intermission. The great turnout was appreciated by the actors and actresses. The evening’s proceeds will go to the 201112 Nokomis School Yearbook. -article by Maureen Tait -photos by Maureen Tait & Lylie Herman

Nokomis School news Principal’s Message June has arrived and a long and emotional school year is quickly coming to an end. In light of this, I would like to recognize some people for their efforts over the course of the year. The parents, your support for the various school activities that involve your kids has been invaluable. The students, your effort and hard work through some fairly stressful times has been commendable. You have made coming to work an enjoyable experience. The Review Committee, your tireless work in support of keeping our school open was outstanding. The staff, your commitment and efforts in providing our kids with many opportunities and a ﬁrst class educational experience has been greatly appreciated and noticed. To everyone, have a great summer of rest and relaxation. You’ve earned it. - Mr. Koenig

do not have any major changes between now and next school year.

Kindergarten, Grade 1 and 2 News Well, here we are on our last newsletter of the year. It has been a very different year full of ups and downs, but in the end I am so proud of all of my students and the great progress they have made! I will miss this group of Grade 2’s that are moving into Mrs. Koenig’s room, but think that they are looking forward to the change. May 4 was a big day at the school because we shot the video for the school song. We were recorded in many different rooms in the school and it was a process that the students and staff will not soon forget. We are anxiously awaiting the final video! We all got a chance to meet the 10 new Kindergartens on May 29. They are a very excited bunch and I think they will fit in beautifully! Our Bike Rodeo was held on May 30 and luckily the weather smartened up and we had a great afternoon. Const. Fontyne from Watrous Detachment came and taught the kids about bike safety and properly fitted each student’s helmet. Winner of the boy’s prize was Mitchell Harding and the winner of the girl’s prize was Claire Kuntz. Kindergarten Grad was held on Thursday, June 7. All of the graduates enjoyed taking their parents around to different centers to show them what they learned this year and then everyone enjoyed coffee, juice, and some goodies. I also want to mention how much I appreciated all of the help from Ms. Decker and Mrs. Friesen this year. Have a safe and happy summer, see you in the fall! - Mrs. Hendry

Science Fair The Grade 6-8 Science Fair was held on June 14 at 2:00 p.m. Also on display was the Grade 1-2’s reports on Animals. The fair was open for everyone to attend.

Grade 3, 4, and 5 News The final newsletter of the year – where did the time go? June always proves to be a busy and hectic month. We travelled to Strasbourg on Wednesday, June 6 for Run, Jump, and Throw Day. On Friday, June 8, we went to Last Mountain Bird Sanctuary to celebrate its 125th Anniversary. Several parents generously offered their time and transportation not only on these days but throughout the year. Without your help these off-site trips may not occur. Our class will be travelling to Regina on Wednesday, June 20 to spend the day at the RCMP Heritage Center. I will be sending more information home within the next few weeks to outline details. June birthday wishes go out to Rebecka Braun. July wishes go out to Kayden Senner and Bethany Pratchler. Lastly, to all my students – it’s been a super year! I’ve truly enjoyed working with you all! You’ve had many successes this year. Have an awesome summer vacation! - Mrs. Koenig Grade 6, 7, and 8 News Things are quickly wrapping up. When I reflect on the year, it surprises me how fast it went. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to my students for a wonderful year. You are the best! The year is almost over, but in the meantime we do have work to do. The Grade 7’s have finished their last unit in May. We will now review some of the concepts taken to make sure they are in good shape to start Grade 8. The Grade 8’s are working on their last unit, Probability, and have a good chance of finishing it! Daegan has started his last unit, Transformations. In ELA, we are finishing off Where the Red Fern Grows, a heartwarming novel by Wilson Rawls. The students have two assignments to do relating to this novel. One is written and one is creating a presentation. They have a number of topics from which to choose. The Science Fair was held June 14. Each student had a question about science, so they researched and did experiments to find the answer. Several parents came to see what had been learned. We are in the middle of the final units in Social and Science, so tests are on the horizon. Our year-end trip Was held June 14. I wish everyone a great summer! - Mrs. Tait Greetings from Mrs. Stratton We have been busy this last month and with only a few more weeks of coursework left, let’s complete the final push ahead and focus in on final exams. The ELA B30 students are finishing their novel study Lord of the Flies by William Golding, and will be reading The Crucible by Arthur Miller before preparing for their departmental examination. ELA B10, students are finishing up reading Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, and ELA 9 is continuing work on Unit 5: Surviving and Conquering. History 30 students are working on Unit 4 and 5, finishing up their last two units of coursework. Social 9 students are continuing Unit 4: Culture, and are learning about Saskatchewan’s Aboriginal cultures. Law 30 students are continuing and finishing their Criminal Law unit. The tour to Saskatchewan P.A. Penitentiary Medium and Maximum security facility was an unforgettable and really educational experience. Thank you to all the chaperones who attended and shared that experience with us. As the school year winds down to a close, let us look forward to the summer and reflect on the great year we just had! All the best to the Graduating Class of 2012 in their futures! As for all you other great students, see you next year! Have a jubilant June! Classroom Organization 2012/13 School Year Due to a change in student numbers in the middle grades, we have deemed it necessary to alter our classroom organization for next year.

Report from the Saskatchewan Seniors Convention and Directors Meetings On the morning of Tuesday, June 5, Ilene Harding and Lylie Herman headed up to Saskatoon, picking up Betsy Redstone along the way, for the Saskatchewan Seniors Convention and Directors Meetings. The day started off with registration and getting the conference rooms ready for everyone. Mid-afternoon, the co-ordinators and directors held a supper meeting which lasted about three hours. In the evening, we had Bob and Marilyn Gregory from Hanley, SK entertain us. They did a slide presentation of Zambia, Africa, and then Marilyn played the accordion and sang some songs in the Zambia language and English language ending with all of us joining in a sing-a-long. That brought the evening to a close. Wednesday morning, it was up and at it early. Byron Trapp, director from Unity, SK, called the convention to order and welcomed everyone who came from miles around. He then called on Lylie Herman, director from Nokomis, to lead everyone in singing O Canada. Len Fallows led everyone saying the Seniors Prayer in unison, followed by a Minute of Memorial Silence for the departed members. We then had greetings from: the Sas-

katoon Police, Chief Weighill; the hotel manager; president of the Sask. Seniors Association, Len Fallows; and the convention chairman, Byron Trapp. After the adoption of the convention minutes and the financial report, we had a coffee break and then Greg Dionne, Market Mall Representative, spoke to us and presented Len with a donation towards the cost of the convention in the amount of $5,000. Because we were going to have an open forum until lunch time, Len proceeded to tell us that with the donation they were able to pay everyone driving a vehicle and passenger’s milage this year and lower registration fee for this year. Len brought up other topics in the open forum to which there were other delegates expressing their opinions. At noon, we had lunch in the hall. At 1:00 p.m., Byron introduced Brenda Yuzdepski, Manager of the Medical Arts Pharmacy in Saskatoon. She gave us some good pointers about buying our drugs and how we could save money on our drugs. When she finished, we then voted on the resolutions that had been put forth to all the delegates at the convention. One resolution had to be put on hold until it had been rewritten. Fern Haight of Hanley, SK, past president of the NPSCF introduced Barry Thorsteinsen, president of the HPSCF. He brought greeting from the National Pensioners and spoke to us about other topics on a National level. We then enjoyed our afternoon coffee break. After coffee, Len introduced Juanita Bascu and Dr. Nuella Novil of the University of Regina. They have been doing a study on aging in the rural areas of Watrous, Kelvington and some at Wolseley, SK. They talked about the availability and pricing of housing in these areas and also the shortage of doctors and home care in some areas and how most seniors can’t afford good housing on fixed incomes. After a good and lively question and answer period, it was time to break. At 5:30 p.m. we gathered for our banquet in the hall. After a very delicious beef supper, Len Fallows introduced our guest speaker for the evening, Kevin Fenwick of the Saskatchewan

Ombudsman. He told everyone about all the different ways they can help people whenever they need the help. After his questions and answers period, we were entertained by The Jammers from Vanscoy, SK. They provided us with some good old-tyme dance music. On Thursday morning, we gathered for the last morning of the convention. The first speaker of the day was the Mayor of Saskatoon, welcoming us to the city. We then had 55 Alive-SGI do their presentation for us. Leanne Nixon spoke on behalf of SGI and Al Richert from 55 Alive. They said they would be glad to come out and do a presentation for anyone wanting them to do so. They stayed around to answer questions, while MarieAnge Rancourt handed out the awards for the walk-a-thon. It was them time for a coffee break. After coffee, Holly Schick from the Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism was introduced. She explained how the mechanism works for all different pensioners groups and is the spokesperson for the different groups and the government. She has helped us out on a number of occasions. She also stayed around and answered questions. The election of officers took place. A vice-president was the only one to be elected. Fern Righi was the only nomination, so went in by acclamation. We went back to the resolution that had to be rewritten and voted on. We then took time to pick out the top three resolutions to present to the government. When we finished that, the draws were made for the ten $500 prizes and the $1,000 prize. There were no local winners from around here. The convention was then adjourned and everyone enjoyed lunch in the hall. After lunch the directors and coordinators had a short meeting while the rest went home. The meeting lasted for a couple of hours and then we were on our way home. It turned out to be a real good convention and meetings. The Heritage Inn is a real good place to hold such conventions. The time passed very quickly. -article and photos by Lylie Herman

History disappears in Govan BEFORE

AFTER DURING The rear of the building was reportedly part of one of the oldest buildings in Govan, built in 1907-08 as Mrs. Paterson’s Café and Boarding House. According to the Govan History Book, Mrs. Paterson and her son Johnny ran the business, which later included a bakery, until 1918 and then sold it to Culbertson and Snydal. In 1965, Jack and Dot Bridges were operating a Red & White grocery store at the location, having moved the old building to the back of the lot, and then building the new store at the front. The business was later operated by Gordon and Jean Braun until Denis and Ruth King purchased it in 1986 and operated it as the Lucky Dollar grocery store until 2005. The business has been closed since then. Harry Schmidt (Harry Hoe) from Strasbourg was recently awarded a tender by the Town of Govan to demolish the somewhat historic building, along with ﬁve vacant residential properties in Govan. - photos LMT staff

LIBRA, SCORPIO & SAGITTARIUS ARIES The new moon will inspire you to spend a few romantic moments star gazing with your loved one. The family will also require some time from you. TAURUS You’re thinking about going on a road trip now that summer is almost here. Take the role of leader and have fun organizing it. GEMINI Even if you do a lot of shopping this week, you probably won’t spend excessive amounts. You’re very skilled in all types of negotiations.

GRO

VIRGO You’re sure to receive more than one invitation to participate in various activities, one more amusing than the next. You’ll feel a wonderful sensation of relaxation. LIBRA You may very well be offered a really nice promotion at work. You may not feel up to the job, but given time everything will sort itself out. SCORPIO You will make a serious investment in learning a new language, either with the aim of taking a trip or purely for your personal development. SAGITTARIUS There will be a few adjustments to make at home because either you or your children are on vacation. You will be very efficient in putting everything in order after a move. CAPRICORN You may be faced with an important decision that will transform your daily life in the long term. You will also seriously consider an interesting project for you and your partner.

Recyling butts A Canadian company turns cigarette butts into compost and pallets. Instead of tossing cigarette butts into landﬁlls, a new recycling program will see the pervasive litter turned into something useful – industrial pallets and charitable donations. TerraCycle is encouraging smokers, non-smokers, environmentalists and everyone to mail in cigarette butts – one of the world’s most abundant forms of garbage – along with cigarette foil and plastic packaging waste, to their Cigarette Waste Brigade program. The company will compost the paper and any remaining tobacco. The rest will be recycled into pallets and other items for industrial use. As an added incentive, each pound received will be compensated 100 points, which is equivalent to $1. The points can be redeemed to purchase charity gifts or converted to cash for donation to a charity or non-proﬁt of the sender’s choice.

Fourth Annual Ultimate Sports Lotto under way Last year’s Strasbourg & District Recreation Centre’s Annual Ultimate Sports Lotto was such a resounding success that they’ve decided to do it again ...for the fourth year in a row! Last year’s event saw the prizes go to individuals from Strasbourg, Govan, Humboldt, Pilot Butte, Regina & Southey, and even with the substantial prizes, the 2011 lottery still made a profit of approximately $13,000. Sports Lotto spokesman Scott Frizzell said the lottery was started initially to raise funds for the Strasbourg & District Recreation Centre. “There were and still are a lot of repairs needed to be done to this aging facility. Significant repairs to the roof over the waiting room needed to be completed and along with that the roof over the skating rink is now going to be scheduled for repair,” Frizzell explained. “Although the majority of the funds will go to the Rec Centre it is a mandate of the Lotto Committee to accept applications from organizations within Strasbourg and surrounding communities for financial assistance. We recently distributed the profits from 2011 Lotto to the Stras-

bourg & District Recreation Centre; Strasbourg & District Memorial Hall Elevator Committee; Strasbourg Tiny Tots and Helping Hands Daycare Inc.; Last Mountain Scouting; the Strasbourg Curling Club; and the Bulyea & District Curling Club. Many of these groups have members that also use the Strasbourg Rec Centre and the committee accepted their applications because we feel it is important to assist these groups financially.” (see page 9 for photos) Frizzell added that this will be the first year that over $40,000 in cash and prizes will be available to be won. And, once again the lottery will stay with sports themed prize packages. This year’s prizes include 2013 NFL Super Bowl tickets; NHL and NBA game travel and tickets; Las Vegas and National Finals Rodeo tickets; Disneyland travel and accommodation with baseball tickets; and even a Hawaiian vacation with NFL tickets. “The lottery has had reasonable success in the past 3 years selling about 50 per cent of the available 2600 tickets,” Frizzell said. “And, although we are happy with that and we are making a small profit, we want

this year to be our most successful Lotto to date. Ultimately we would like to sell out and potentially generate a proﬁt of approximately $50000.” The Strasbourg & District Recreation Centre’s Ultimate

Sports Lotto relies on volunteers help promote and sell the Lotto Tickets. Complete lottery ticket and prize information is available from Ultimate Sports Lotto committee members. Draw date is December 1, 2012.

Long Lake Guiders loved their camping weekend! beach. We toured the bird observatory with Ross Dickson as guide, along with several other representatives from Nature Saskatchewan. We helped capture birds in nets, learned how to weigh, measure and banding techniques. Some of us got to release the birds once they were banded. What a memorable experience! We looked through a telescope to see thousands of pelicans on an island. We

saw barn swallows, American white pelicans, gulls, robins, Morning doves, American Red Start, Philadelphia Vireo, house wren, Baltimore yellow oriole, and warblers. Smaller birds like a wren can live two to three years, while larger birds like a hawk, may live for 10 years. We cooked our food in many different ways. We divided into two groups and went on an adventure hike

where we had challenges to complete. We made crafts: a bird feeder to hang in a tree, a wee nest for our camp hats and a friendship bracelet. We played games and had a singa-long. The Sparks and Brownies went home after supper with badges they had earned during camp. The older girls stayed to hike at the lake, have a campﬁre and snacks before sleeping in tents.

On Sunday, after reﬂections and breakfast, we struck camp, taking down tents and packing up. At the closing, each girl received badges that were completed during the camp. We made it out before the rains came pouring down again. What a lot of fun and all be-

cause we are members of Girl Guides of Canada. One of the girls from Lumsden stated, “it was the best camp ever!” You can join in the fun, too! District Commissioner Janice Graessli Photos courtesy of Brenda Laliberte & Bonnie Pratchler.

William Derby School Arts Ed school year wraps up This was a busy year full of creative growth and opportunities for Arts Ed and Visual Arts students at William Derby School in Strasbourg. In the fall, many students enrolled in Visual Art 10. These young artists took advantage of the fabulous fall weather and work ‘en plein air’ on watercolour images of the big poplar tree in front of our school. The fall trees offer a comprehensive range of colours to inspire all artists. Most of the work that the students created was inspired by Post Modern/Contemporary art work which is largely inﬂuenced by popular culture. Visual Artists included John Park, the Surrealists and First Nations artists such as Norval Morisseau, John Henry Fine Day, David Garneau and Daphne Odjig. Musical/ Video inspiration came from the Beatles Yellow Submarine and the art of Peter Max. Students experimented with acrylic paint, ink, pencil crayon, water colour and mixed media to create response pieces.

We also took a ﬁeld trip to the MacKenzie Art gallery to see Tactile Desires: The Work of Jack Sures. Sures is a Saskatchewan based ceramics artist that taught and inspired at the University of Regina for many years. He continues to be involved in the Saskatchewan arts scene. In the afternoon, we toured the Faculty of Fine Arts Department. We were led on tours of the Theatre, Visual Arts, Film and Video departments by the heads of each department. This was phenomenal; students got to see and feel the magical energy of working creative spaces. On December 20, the Arts Ed 9 students traveled to Regina to see the Globe Theatre’s Christmas show Robin Hood. The weather was co-operative and students were riveted as arrows were ‘shot’ and justice was served, Robin Hood style. It’s always fun to be so close to the actors as they perform live theatre in the round, especially at such a magical time of year. Right after Christmas vacation, Grades 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 be-

gan a special dance project that was funded with an Arts Smarts grant. Misty Wensel, creative director of FadaDance in Regina, came out for eight days, starting on January 30 to show the students some Contemporary Creative Dance choreography and to help them develop their own. The project was largely funded by a grant from the Saskatchewan Arts Board, speciﬁcally the Arts Smarts grant. Local ﬁnancial assistance came from the Duval and Govan Optimist Clubs, and the Strasbourg Rec Board. This special program allows schools to connect and work with professional artists. It also allows the artist, an opportunity to showcase their own art form. In this case, Misty brought out The Prairie Dance Seeds, the FadaDance youth company. On March 29, the young dancers presented ‘Covet’ on stage at the Strasbourg Memorial Hall. Misty acted as the MC and introduced each creative contemporary dance by describing the process and sources of inspiration. The young dancers included WDS girls and boys, as well as the Prairie Dance Seeds. They all gave a dazzling performance that was full of youthful creative energy, imagination, ideas and movement. In fact, much of the choreography for the Arts Ed 7, 8 and 9 performances was developed by them. They were spectacular! While this special project was happening, the Visual Art 20 and 30 students worked on developing illustration skills with ink

portraits of prominent Canadians such as: Pierre Trudeau, Buffy Sainte Marie, Louis Riel, Susanna Moodie and Gabriel Dumont. They also worked on scratch art, self-portraits on canvas and abstracted mixed media self portraits on newspaper with layers and layers of ink, oil pastel, metallic pens, ink, water colour and acrylic paint. These students just finished working on large Steam Punk inspired water colour images that combined elements of whimsy with Industrial Era mechanical bits. Most of this Visual Art work was on display at our year end celebration of the arts, the WDS Coffeehouse. On this evening, Tuesday, June 5, the gym was transformed into a performance and gallery space where dessert and coffee was sold to families, friends and members of the community. All funds raised go toward purchasing special art supplies. This event helps to provide students an opportunity to work with better quality media, paper and canvases. Special Arts Education supplies like Djembe, Conga drums and tinikling bars offer a variety of experiences while working on the four strands of the Arts Ed curriculum: visual art, drama, dance and music. Coffeehouse also provides an opportunity for students to share some of their performance works they learn throughout the school year. The Arts Ed 9 students created songs with lyrics on Garageband. They had to compose music and accompany it with lyrics that they wrote and sang. This is a wonderful introduction to music production and composition. In fact, an Arts Ed 9 student and Garageband wizard, provided sound technician services for the whole event. Arts Ed 8 students performed two Tinikling dances. Tinikling is a Pilipino folk dance that was originally a punishment doled out to slaves. Two students ‘clack’ the bars on the floor while another student or students jump over them. The Grade 8 class had fun pushing creative boundaries with this and came up with wild and complicated choreography. They were accompanied by two drummers performing simple, repetitive, trance-like beats that created an exotic feel; hence ‘The Tribal Tiniklers.’ The Grade 7 drumming band ‘Big Bang’ performed three catchy rhythms they learned: Meringue, Calypso (Latin) and Ga (West African). Studying rhythm this way puts all of the students on a level playing field, whether or not they have studied music or dance in the past. Rhythm is one of the elements of music that students are introduced to. It can be quite difficult to master and in order to succeed, they just need to experiment, make mistakes, be kind to themselves and be willing to try something new. There were two special performances at this year’s Coffehouse. Both of these student artists are passionate about developing their chosen art forms out of school hours. Isabella Wishlow performed a contemporary dance solo called Four Ton Mantis. It was choreographed partly by Isabella and her teacher, Fran Gilboy of FadaDance. To end the evening, Jordy Hansen performed her musi-

cal solo Dirty Southern Shores. She wrote both the lyrics and the guitar accompaniment for this selection. These two young performers displayed a distinct passion for their chosen art forms and communicated that passion clearly to the audience in attendance at the WDS Coffeehouse. It is so exciting to witness the creative and personal development of WDS students! The arts

provide opportunities for these young people to become well rounded and experience more of what our world has to offer. It is also heartwarming to see the support that the greater school community offers these young artists. WDS has a lot to be proud of! Ms. Deadra Oblander Arts Educator William Derby School

Museum hosts Titanic presentation

Larry Mikulcik Saturday, June 2 saw the Titanic sail again through Strasbourg as Larry Mikulcik gave a multi-media presentation on

tanic survivor Eva Hart, was played, which demonstrated the poinant nature of the passengers’ and crew’s experiences as they faced their own mortality, and the horror of drowning or freezing to death in under twenty minutes. Mikulcik ﬁnished the presentation with a photographic tour of the shipwreck as it now rests peacefully three kilometers below the surface of the ocean, nealy 531 km off the coast of Newfoundland. Following the presentation coffee and cookies were provided by the Museum Board as the public had a chance to ﬁnish looking through the display while they visited.

Don and Reta Galger of Strasbourg celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on June 9, 2012 at the Strasbourg Centennial Manor. Their children – Brian (Barb) Galger, Brenda (Lloyd) Small, Glen (April) Galger and Lori (Warren) Wild, 13 of 14 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren were there to help make the day special. In total, 42 family members attended, which made for a very lively and enjoyable celebration. Everyone arrived in the afternoon for visiting and family pictures taken by grandson Ben Galger. A cold plate supper was then served along with a beautiful anniversary cake decorated by granddaughter Jesse Herman, followed by more visiting. Don and Reta were married in Strasbourg on June 9, 1952. After a short time in Regina, they moved out to the farm south-west of Strasbourg where they lived and worked for over 40 years. They were both very active in their church and always supported and took pride in the interests and accomplishments of their children and later, their grandchildren. Poor health forced Don into an early retirement from farming. They

moved into a house in Strasbourg in 1995 and then into a suite in the Centennial Manor in 2009. Many things change in the span of 60 years, but the love of a family is not intimidated by change. Miles may keep us apart, but the love of a family is

not diminished by distance. Family ties are precious threads no matter where we roam. They draw us close to those we love and pull our hearts back home. -article submitted by Lloyd & Brenda Small

“Cowboy, Hillbilly what ever you say We love ’em and leave ’em, It’s just a cowboy’s way, Outlaw or redneck what ever you think, What’s mine is mine, What’s yours is mine, It’s just a cowboy’s way” -Chad Gray

It’s strange to read a song lyric about cowboys as an intro to an automotive column, hey? Well, hold on to your hats boys and girls, as in a moment it will all make sense. You see, it’s a modern lyric, about modern cowboys, by modern cowboys, in a modern cowboy song… A metal song, to be exact. If you go back in time, you can probably picture a stereotypical cowboy, you know, the boots, the hat, the little tie, a few days past the necessary shave and shower, possibly riding a horse, I mean, the list goes on forever. Fast forward to the present day, not a lot has changed (in terms of the wardrobe anyways), yet the horse has began to get phased out by the 4-wheel drive quad and pickup truck. What brand of pickup truck, you may ask? Well… Any of the ‘Big Three’ American brands really, but in 1970, there was only one true Cowboy truck: The Dodge Dude.

I know what you’re thinking, and that is “I wonder what Dodge was thinking?”, which is a very good question, one that I, as a matter of fact, do not have an answer to. Basically what they did was take their sweptside pickup, throw on a few muscle car options such as high-impact paint, custom stripe package, dog dish hubcaps, and optional bucket seats and console. The engine choices ranged from the leaning tower of power Slant Six, right up to the 383 big block. Say, for example, that you wanted your muscle truck with a classier fit and finish, a vinyl top perhaps… Well look no further than the sales brochure at your local dealership, as it was available. It was a spray-on, lumpy gravel-guard vinyl top, that in fact contained no vinyl at all, but really, it’s the thought that counts. Last but not least, sales literature needs someone attractive, someone familiar, someone

who did not play Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show. Since there was apparently no one else on the face of the earth that day, they had to settle for Don

Knotts, who managed to convince a mere 2000 people (or less) that ‘The Dude’ was right for them. John Wayne. Yep, John Wayne was a cowboy, and a successful one at that. He smoked, he shot, he fought, he did what needed doing. He wore hats, boots, a stone face and did not drive a Dodge Dude to my knowledge. In my own personal opinion, I think with John Wayne in the ad, things would have maybe turned out a bit better. ‘The Dodge

Duke’ has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? As for Don Knotts, I think The Duke said it best when he said, “Life’s hard. It’s even harder when you’re stupid”. Kelly Kirk Nokomis, SK Disclaimer: the opinions expressed are those of the writer.

Solutions & Substitutions Column Hi Reena, I always get a kick out of reading your column, and appreciate all the useful tips. Do you have a formula for a laundry stain remover? I ﬁnd the aforementioned smells too strong. Also, why do frozen items (bags of peas, fruit, etc.) in my freezer have SO MUCH frost inside? Sometimes, even before I have even opened the bag! Help! Thanks in advance, and keep those tips comin'! Jaine Dear Jaine, The following formula makes a wonderful, all-purpose laundry stain remover that can be used on any washable fabrics and a variety of stains; it works just as well as store bought brands. In a spray bottle combine: Half cup dish soap (Dawn works best but you can use unscented dish soap), half cup household ammonia, 6 tbsp. baking soda and 2 cups warm water. Shake the solution, and spray area. Leave for 5 minutes before laundering (test on an inconspicuous area). If you ﬁnd the smell too strong, you can substitute ammonia for white vinegar or additional water but it will not be as effective. There is a limit on how long an item can be frozen, because after approximately three months of freezer life, items tend to dry out, which results in frost build-up. Also, inadequate draining of vegetables before freezing makes a difference

and freezer temperatures above 0°F may cause undesirable ice formation. Here are a few suggestions to prevent ice this: Put veggies into a double or triple lock sealable bag, some people even double bag meat and veggies before freezing. Using a straw, suck as much air out as possible. Remove straw and seal bag. Or forget about bags and purchase reusable containers that are manufactured for the freezer. Store bought frozen vegetables can be kept in their original plastic bags and placed inside of a sealable bag to guard against freezer burn. Extra Tip: When using sealable bags, label the bag with the contents and date using masking tape and permanent marker. _____________________ Hi Reena, I was just reading your article today about the pesky squirrels and using the castor oil solution or cinnamon. Would you know of a way to keep rabbits away from ﬂower beds? I've planted some petunias and they love to eat the ﬂowers. Would the castor oil solution or cinnamon work on rabbits, or is there another trick that you know of? I’m so frustrated! Thank you, Susan Dear Susan, Of course chicken wire or some other sort of two foot fence (or higher) is the best way to keep cute little

rabbits from munching in your yard, but that's not always an option. Surround the garden with milk jugs lined with sand. The idea is that the rabbits will chew on the jugs instead of your plants. Or collect bags of human hair from your local hair salon, sprinkle onto garden, this dissuades both deer and rabbits. Other than a fence, what I have found most effective is to add turkey manure in with the soil. Or into a spray bottle mix: 1 tbsp. baby shampoo and 1 tbsp. household ammonia and one quart water. Spray plants every 3 days. Or soak corn cobs in vinegar for five minutes and then place them throughout the garden. The corn cobs should be re-soaked in vinegar after two weeks. When planting your flower beds, mix thyme, spearmint, daffodils and/or eucalyptus in with your flowers, they don’t like the smell and often won’t pass by to get to your yummy flowers. Lastly, if you sprinkle a liberal amount of cayenne pepper around the flowers they are likely to leave them alone.

a “moat” which the ants could not cross. You could accomplish the same thing by gluing on a section of PVC pipe on top of the feeder which would be ﬁlled with water. I don’t know why they don’t make hummingbird feeders with moats built in; this is such a simple modiﬁcation. Peter

wash the area with liquid soap and warm water for less than a minute around 2 - 3 times a day. Just before bedtime, I would apply a dab of liquid soap onto the affected area and allow to dry overnight. Within a day or two, I found the cold sore would go away or be limited in scope.

Poison Ivy: One time I was pulling “weeds” in our large suburban backyard that turned out to be poison ivy. Before I broke out in a huge rash, I washed the area with liquid soap, gently toweled off the area with a paper towel, and after I was dry, I applied an over the counter overnight acne cream that prevented the spread of poison ivy, it made sense because overnight acne medication is designed to dry out the oils causing an acne outbreak. Regards, Victor

Fabulous Tips of the Week: Cold Sores: I used to get cold sores on a regular basis and nothing worked including the expensive over the counter medications as well as prescription drugs costing quite a bit of money. Anyhow, I accidentally found that using liquid soap, especially the commercial grade soap available in the workplace washroom, greatly reduced my frequency of cold sores. For example, as soon as I felt the “tingling” sensation of a cold sore about to appear, I would

A bridal shower was held on Saturday, May 26, at the Silton Community Centre in honor of Nikki Schaeffer, bride elect of Tyler Willcox. Tyler has lived in the Silton area attending both Bulyea and Strasbourg schools. Approximately 30 people were in attendance. Tyler’s sister, Amanda Willcox introduced the head table: Nikki, Lynda mother of the bride, attendants Kayla Taylor, Rebecca McDermit, Kelly Willcox future mother-in-law, and Harla Willcox. Rebecca and Amanda quizzed Nikki on how well she knew Tyler. There were lots of laughs as Nikki tried to answer correctly. A tasty lunch was served while Nikki opened gifts. She thanked everyone for attending to make the afternoon a happy and memorable occasion. Nikki and Tyler were married on Saturday, June 2, at Knox Metropolitan Church in Regina. The reception and dance followed at Truly Unique Country Weddings on Highway 6 north. Everyone was treated to a delicious meal of pit beef and pork with all the trimming catered by

Carmen Anderson of Strasbourg. Bruce Venne, emcee for the evening had everyone in stitches. After supper and speeches guests enjoyed dancing the night away or just strolling through the beautifully manicured yards sharing conversation with friends and family around the ﬁrepits. A social was held the next day at the home of Lynda and Eddy Schaeffer at Kannata Valley. The happy couple left on Monday, June 4 for a ten day honeymoon in Hawaii. Upon their return they will reside at their home in Regina. On Friday, June 8 approximately 115 people gathered at the Longlaketon Church for their annual cold plate supper known to the community as the ‘June Social.’ It was a perfect evening with just enough breeze to keep the bugs away which allowed many to enjoy their meal outside. Following the supper, everyone gathered inside the church for some entertainment provided by our very talented singing group ‘Time of Our Lives.’ The June social has been an annual event in the Longla-

A bridal shower/stagette in honor of bride-to-be, Kim Ball, was held on Saturday, June 9 at the home of Bill and Myrna Pollon of Kannata Valley with around 30 ladies in attendance. Several games were played and there were lots of laughs, wonderful food and beverages. Kim opened her beautiful gifts and thanked everyone. She is excited to see everyone again on her wedding day at the end of the month. A stagette followed later that evening in Regina at the home of one of the bride’s attendants. The young gals had fun and many laughs that will long be remembered. The community sends congratulations to Jake and Irene Fries on their 60th Wedding Anniversary. On Saturday, June 9, a large crowd of family and friends gathered at the Glencairn Rec Centre for an evening of fun, reminiscing, and a toast to Jake and Irene for 60 years of married bliss. The evening began with the arrival of “Her Majesty the Queen” – all the way from Buckingham Palace. Following the “Queen’s” kind words, Colleen McLeod, daughter of the happy couple, was the emcee for the evening. She spoke of her Mom and Dad’s 60 years, and the diamond being the symbol for 60 years of marriage. The diamond is made up of many precision cuts and polishing to make it a precious gem.

The evening began with Colleen and her brothers Kim and Farley, mentioning some of their life experiences growing up in the Fries household. The ﬂoor was open to guests to share memories or past experiences with Jake and Irene. There was representation from the Gorrills, the Fries’ friends from Steinbach, Brandon and Kannata Valley, and the grandchildren. A slide show presentation of Jake and Irene’s 60 years of marriage was viewed throughout the evening. Local gals, ‘Time of Our Lives’ sang and entertained the crowd, while many danced to the music and others visited. A wonderful time was had by all, and Jake and Irene will have another life experience for their book of memories. All the best to both of you and may you enjoy many more years of good health and happiness. -Mae Clarke From the community, get well wishes to our super correspondent Mae Clarke.

Spring is the time for planting gardens and fields. Every seed planted in the earth is an act of faith and hope. Faith that the sun will shine for warm summer days, faith that the rains will come when needed, and hope for a harvest to reward the labours of those who sow the seed. Faith and hope require patience. No farmer expects a harvest the day after he has finished planting. Time is needed for roots to grow down and for stocks to shoot up. Even when the signs of growth are seen, still more time is required for plants to grow and mature. Only weeds grow up overnight. Fruit and grain takes time. Much of the good we do in life resembles planting and waiting. We sow good deeds, hoping that we have made the world a little better place. We faithfully plant acts of love and kindness, trusting they will bless another person’s life. But like crops and gardens, time is required for things to grow and mature before the harvest can happen. Waiting can be difficult, especially when you have worked so hard and spent so much to prepare the ground and plant the seed. It is easy to become discouraged when you face difficult situations that never improve. It is hard to keep going, and to keep doing good, when nothing seems to get better despite your best efforts. The temptation to give up, or to

give in, is hard to resist when nothing is happening and no one sees or appreciates your hard work. We can, however, trust that the good we do will eventually bear fruit, not because we have faith in the laws of nature, but because our faith is in the living God who created all things. The Bible encourages us to “not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up.” There is a time for planting and a time for harvest. Both are in God’s hands. Our part is to keep doing good and not give up. Our motives can help us keep going. We will worry less about the outcome when we are doing good to please God and to show appreciation for all that he has given us. We know that ultimately, God will reward the labours of all who love him. Our reward is sure because it has been promised by God, even if we never see the outcome of our good deeds. Waiting for the harvest can be difﬁcult when the growing season is long and so many things can go wrong in the mean time. Knowing that our sovereign God is in control, and that he is the one who causes both the crops to grow, and our good works to bear fruit, enables us to wait with faith and hope.

Sports news & commentary weekly news The Rustlers regular season continued on Sunday, June 10 with a game played in Bulyea vs Silver Screen. This was essentially a game for first place in the standings due to the loss that the Rustlers received at the hands of Silver Screen earlier in the week. Bulyea would take control of the game early by taking a 2-0 lead after two innings and would chip away to build leads of 3-0 and 5-0 by the end of the sixth inning.Strong defensive play along with some timely hitting kept the Rustlers in the driver’s seat the entire game. A diving catch in left field late in the game by Peter Hill, put an exclamation point on the game and the Rustlers would cruise to a 7-0 victory in front of a great hometown crowd. The win was a total team effort with seven different players collecting hits, six different players collecting RBIs, and a very strong pitching performance from Kevin Young. Game Highlights: • Justin Sievert – 2 for 3 in-

cluding 2 singles and 2 runs scored • Kevin Young pitched a complete game shutout giving up 7 hits and striking out 2. The next evening the Rustlers would put their 7 – 1 record on the line vs the N.B. Petro Hawks. The Hawks would jump out to an early lead scoring three runs off of starting pitcher Kevin Young in the first inning. A homerun by Justin Sievert in the third inning would get the Rustlers within two, but could get no closer. With the score 6-3 going into the seventh, the Hawks would tally three more to take a 9-3 lead and that is how the game would end.Peter Hill and Mike Jordan would both collect two hits on the night. For the third night in a row the Rustlers were on the diamond, this time facing the Regina Rampage. Justin Sievert would be the starting pitcher for the Rustlers and would get into trouble early. The Rampage would come out on fire building a 6-0 lead after two innings. The teams would exchange

scoring runs in the third and fourth innings making the score 9-4 in favor of the Rampage. Josh Jordan would replace Sievert on the mound for the fifth inning and would give up one run increasing the Rustlers deficit to 6. The Rustler bats would then come alive scoring two in the fifth and four in the sixth making the score 1010 going into the seventh inning. Josh Jordan would cruise through the seventh inning giving the Rustlers an opportunity to win the game with a run in the bottom of the seventh. Cory Krahenbil would lead off the inning by hitting a game winning walk off homerun to give the Rustlers an 1110 come from behind win. Game Highlights: • Josh Jordan – 3 for 4 including 3 singles, 2 RBIs, and a run scored • Peter Hill – 2 for 3 including a single, HR, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs scored • Cory Krahenbil – 2 for 3 including a single, HR, 2 RBIs, and 3 runs scored • Winning pitcher Josh Jordan would pitch three innings of relief, giving up 1 run on 1 hit with 1 walk and 1 strikeout.

Ball at Rest Moves Q: A player’s ball lands on the green. The player goes up to the green and marks the ball. When it is her turn, she replaces her ball and removes the marker. After removing her marker, the wind moves her ball eight inches back. Should she play the ball as it now lies or should it be moved back to its original position? Should she take any penalty strokes? A: Refer to Rule 18 – Ball at Rest Moved. By Deﬁnition wind is NOT an outside agency. She had replaced her ball on the green and removed her marker. Before she addressed the ball, a gust of wind moved her ball, so the Note to Rule 18-1 provides some direction: “Note: It is a question of fact whether

Encarnacion a slugging surprise for Jays If you’re a major league baseball player with a need for career rejuvenation, Toronto Blue Jays may be the team to join. Edwin Encarnacion is slugging his way to MLB fame with the Blue Jays in a fashion similar to how Jose Bautista in 2010 suddenly became one of the game’s most feared sluggers. This year, Encarnacion is following a similar script. With a fairly decent career behind him with Cincinnati Reds, Encarnacion never had a season home-run total exceeding 25. So far in 2012, he is among the American League leaders in four-base clouts and is on pace to surpass 50 – Bautista country. Is it something in the Toronto water? Whatever the reason, Blue Jays’ fans are enjoying the turnaround by the Jays’ designated hitter. Toronto is extremely competitive in the A.L. East, a few games over

.500 in late May and involved in a terrific division battle involving all five teams. Pre-season previews of the Jays rarely even mentioned Encarnacion. Pundits raved about the team’s pitching, led by Ricky Romero, and the offense led by Bautista and Canadian Brett Lawrie, who was entering his first full season. Suddenly, enter Edgar. Boom! Crash! Wham! John Lott of the National Post said Encarnacion made two swing changes of consequence since last year. He keeps both hands on the bat on during his follow through instead of letting go with his left hand. And, wrote Lott, he has tried to eliminate the high leg kick he once used to set up his swing. Encarnacion hit 38 homers in the two seasons prior to 2012. The Jays say they thought he had enough pop in his bat to be a 25- to 30-homer guy. Even they were shortchanging their expectations.

The 29-year-old Dominican may cool down as the season goes on, but the same things were said about Bautista dur-

The mandate of the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame is to create, operate and promote a hall of fame to honour the people, teams and organizations of Saskatchewan whom have demonstrated exceptional contributions to the development of hockey. The nomination process for induction into the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame will take place each year, and use of official nomination forms is mandatory. Nominations must be received at the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame by 5:00 pm on September 1st annually. There are five categories for nominations: Builder, Grassroots Contributor, Player, Official, Team. The Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame will be located in the newly renovated Credit Union iPlex in Swift Current. The inaugural induction ceremony is scheduled for the July 28, 2012, and will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Hockey Association. The inaugural induction ceremony will be held in Swift Current. Subsequent induction ceremonies will be held in other Saskatchewan communities across the province.

a ball has been moved by an outside agency. In order to apply this Rule, it must be known or virtually certain that an outside agency has moved the ball. In the absence of such knowledge or certainty, the player must play the ball as it lies or, if the ball is not found, proceed under Rule 27-1.” The ball was not moved by an outside agency so she would be correct in playing the ball from the new position.

Chairman of the Goals & Dreams fund, Devin Smith, commented on the success of the program. “Over the last 12 years, NHL players have donated more than $20 million to fund and assist grassroots hockey programs around the world. We’ve sent equipment everywhere from Australia to South Africa, Europe, Malaysia and North America. The biggest obstacle in participating in hockey is the cost of equipment.

World-Herald, on Barry Bonds’s desire to work for the Giants in some capacity: “Baseball executives said Bonds will be welcomed back with open arms, just as soon as the commissioner can find jobs for the 1919 Chicago Black Sox.” • Norman Chad of the Washington Post: “Do you know how tough the Belmont is? To go a mile-and-ahalf when you’ve never done it before? That’s like asking me to go a year-and-a-half into a marriage.” • Another one from Dickson, on this year’s NBA lottery: “As usual, Kim Kardashian got first pick.” • Blogger Chad Picasner, after the Padres wore camouflage uniforms in a recent game: “With an 18-37 record, this seemed appropriate.” Care to comment?

‘FRED’S DEAD AND DOGS LIKED HIM’ After a long and happy life, Fred passed away peacefully at his home in Ancaster, ON, at the age of 92. Beloved husband to Betty (predeceased), caring father of Lew (Pat), Pat, Frances (Gary) and the late Elsa (Jim). Caring grandfather to Rebecca, Christine, Brian (Barb), Natalie, Kendra, Jessica, Nola and great-grandfather to Xander, Logan, Marley Joan, Charlie, Kate and Eva. Fred was born in Lockwood, SK, on May 14, 1920. Fred graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1945. He went to Ontario to become Plant Engineer of Westinghouse Canada in Hamilton for 11 years. The next 17 years were spent as Plant Manager at Valley City Manufacturing. Upon his retirement from working for other people, he started Hummason Manufacturing which is still in operation 48 years later. Fred’s hobbies were hunting, ﬁshing and trap shooting. He enjoyed the hunting camp in Lockwood surrounded by his friends. He enjoyed their winters in Florida and travelled to many gun clubs there. In following Fred’s wishes, cremation has taken place. There is to be no service – (Don’t spend the money). Fred and Betty’s ashes, along with best friend Breeze will be laid to rest in Fred’s home town of Lockwood at a later date.

Please take no risks or plan big, because you may accidentally succeed. Some take big risks and have marvellous failures that have devastated their communities. They are communities that chase and sometimes catch, big factories or plants that help for a time, but put all their eggs in one basket. Every wonderful invention, every discovery, every idea, every change in the course of human history, originated by somebody who was ready to take a risk. If no one took risks to be ridiculed, then nothing would change.

HAMILTON– In loving memory of Lloyd Hamilton who passed away June 17, 2009. Our life goes on without you: But nothing is the same; We have to hide our heartaches; When someone speaks your name. Sad are the tears that love you; Silent are the tears that fall; Living our lives without you; Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us; Your heart was kind and true; And when we needed someone; We could always count on you. The special years will not return; When we were all together; But the love inside our hearts; You will walk with us forever. Forever loved and dearly missed, your wife Evelyn and Family 32c

Effective immediately, the Peruvian market has been reopened for Canadian bone-in beef under 30 months of age, boneless beef of all ages, and offal. This is the ﬁrst time since 2003 that Canadian beef can be exported to Peru, after it was closed due to BSE. In 2011, total Peruvian imports of beef and beef products from all countries were worth about $49 million. Canada Beef Inc. estimates that this market could be worth up to $2 million annually for Canadian beef producers. On May 11, Peru published a resolution to announce the decision, and ﬁnal details have now been worked out to allow trade to resume effective immediately. Earlier this year, the federal government announced the reopening of the Peruvian market to Canadian cattle, a market estimated by Canada Beef Inc. and the Canadian Livestock Genetics Association to be worth more than $2.5 million in 2012 for the Canadian cattle sector.

RCMP report Two vehicle collision On June 13, Moosomin RCMP Detachment were called to the scene of a two car motor vehicle collision which occurred shortly after 2:00 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 8 before the turnoff to Rocanville. A 91 year old male was driving a car that had collided with a light pickup truck driven by 39 year old male. Both drivers were transported to hospital for treatment after sustaining non-life threatening injuries. Highway 8 northbound and southbound traffic was re-routed locally and Highway 1 east and westbound traffic was reduced to one lane traffic while the scene was cleaned up. The investigation remains ongoing. Charges laid in gun incident On June 6 at around 7:00 a.m., a resident of Hudson Bay was walking to work when he was approached by an adult male. It is alleged that the male asked for directions and after the resident gave directions the man said that it may be easier if he just came with him. At that time, a long gun was observed being loaded. The resident turned, ran away and then heard a gun shot. The resident continued running until he arrived at his place of employment where he called the police. Members obtained a description of the suspect and started to patrol the area. As one member was driving down a street he observed an individual matching the description of the suspect walking from a wooded area. When the member turned his vehicle around, the suspect pointed a long gun at the member and the member relocated to a safer location and contacted back up. The suspect’s mother, and subsequently father arrived and began an argument with the suspect who was still holding the long gun in the middle of the street in a residential neighborhood. Members verbally engaged the suspect from a distance in an effort to get him to drop the gun and surrender. The suspect continued to point the gun at his parents, himself, and the members on the scene. At one point, the suspect’s father was able to break his son’s grasp and remove the gun from his grip. The two members at the scene arrested the suspect with a firearm and conducted energy weapon pointed at the suspect. Charged in relation to this incident is 21 year old Derek Johnston from Hudson Bay. Johnston is charged with the numerous offences: Discharge a Firearm with intent; Point a Firearm X5 (two charges relating to Police Officers); Assault with a Weapon X5 (two charges relating to Police Officers); Mischief Under $5000.00 X2; Careless Use of a Firearm; and Possess Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose. The accused will be receiving a 30 day Psychiatric Assessment and next appearance is July 26, 2012 in Hudson Bay. Arrest made in murder case On March 7, 2009, the Sturgis RCMP were called to a residence in the small community of Usherville in relation to the suspicious death of a local 50 year old

female resident. From the initial examination of the scene, it was believed the victim had died the day before. Gwenda Gregory was found in her home and after the preliminary investigation and an autopsy was completed, it was determined that her death was a homicide. The Major Crimes Unit South, Yorkton Forensic Identification Section, RCMP Yorkton General Investigation Section and the Saskatchewan Coroners Office were all involved in the investigation. Last week, an arrest was made in this three year investigation. 46 year old Jaycee Mildenberger of Usherville is charged with the First Degree Murder. Mildenberger made his first court appearance on June 11, 2012 at Provincial Court in Regina. Death at grad party On June 9 at approximately 6:32 a.m., members of the Spiritwood RCMP were called to an open field on the Pelican Lake First Nation where there was a report of an unconscious, non-responsive male. The Pelican Lake youth were celebrating graduation and an altercation occurred. Upon arrival to the area by members of the detachment and CPR attempts by EMS, it was apparent that the adult male, a 23 year old from the Pelican Lake First Nation was deceased. The death of the 23 year old man is believed to be a homicide and RCMP in Spiritwood have arrested a 18 year old male in relation to this incident. The arrest was made on the Pelican Lake First Nation. In relation to the death of 23 year old Robi Thomas, 18 year old Jay Thomas has been charged with second degree murder and remanded for court in North Battleford. Spiritwood RCMP with the assistance of RCMP Major Crimes out of Saskatoon, are continuing with the investigation. Four die in highway crash On June 10, at approximately 12:20 p.m., Rosetown RCMP responded to a two vehicle collision on Highway 7, approximately three km west of Rosetown. A west-bound car attempted to pass a west-bound transport truck, and collided head on with an eastbound SUV. It was raining at the time of the collision, causing the roadway to be wet and visibility for the west-bound car was restricted at the time of the collision from road spray kicked up from the transport truck. The driver of west-bound car, an adult male from British Columbia, was killed in the collision. A rear seat female occupant of the west-bound car was also killed in the collision. An adult female, a youth male and a youth female from the west-bound car were all taken by ambulance to Rosetown, then transported to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon. The 13 year old female youth died in hospital. All the occupants of the west-bound car were from British Columbia. A 56 year old male and a 30 year old male, both from Plato, SK, were the occupants of the east-bound SUV. Both were taken to Rosetown Hospital, and then to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon. Douglas Janzen, 47 years old, the father of 19 year old Allie Janzen and 13 year old Cassidy

Janzen, were killed in the accident while traveling west-bound in their four-door sedan. Two other occupants of this vehicle are still in hospital. The two occupants both adult males of the east-bound SUV are both still in hospital. The driver of that vehicle, 30 year old Ryan Bridger, of Plato, SK, died from his injuries on the afternoon of June 13. The accident is still under investigation Death in single vehicle accident Shortly after 11:00 a.m. on June 9, RCMP members from Moose Jaw Detachment were called to the scene of a single vehicle rollover on Highway 1 east of Caronport. An east-bound car left the roadway and crossed the meridian, rolling several times. The driver and lone occupant of the vehicle, a 28 year old male from Regina, was ejected and suffered life threatening injuries. The driver was transported to Moose Jaw Hospital, and airlifted to Regina General Hospital by STARS Air Ambulance. He later died as a result of his injuries. His name had not been released. The cause of the collision is still being investigated. It does not appear that the driver was wearing his seat belt. Speed and alcohol are also believed to have contributed to this collision. Fatal accident near Macoun On Sunday, June 10 at 10:35, Estevan RCMP responded to a motor vehicle collision in the community of Macoun, SK. A train traveling northwest was crossing the main road through the community when it collided with a northbound automobile being driven by a lone male occupant. First responders, RCMP and EMS attended as the driver sustained serious injuries as a result of the collision. The driver was transported to hospital in Weyburn before being flown to hospital in Regina by Stars Air Ambulance. The 43 year old driver was treated at hospital but died from his injuries on Thursday, June 14. The deceased is identified as Father Joel Rama, a Roman Catholic Priest from Estevan, SK. The intersection where the collision occurred is marked with railroad crossing signs and the train lights and whistles were functioning properly prior to the accident. The incident remains under investigation, but charges are not expected. Macoun, SK is located on Highway 39, 28 kms northwest of Estevan. Drug arrest On June 13 at approximately 3:00 p.m., members of Kamsack RCMP performed a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling eastbound on Highway 57 in Duck Mountain Provincial Park. Further investigation led to the recovery of a substantial quantity of marijuana from the vehicle. As a result, a 23 year male resident of the Fishing Lake First Nation and a 24 year old female resident of Kamsack are facing a number of charges including possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime. The adult male is also charged with escaping lawful custody as well as resisting arrest. Both accused have been released from custody and will be appearing in Provincial Court in Kamsack on August 7, 2012.

We should also check to see if our parents are getting regular medical checkups, and taking any required medications. As people age, they can become forgetful. They also can be oblivious to subtle changes that could be early signals of serious problems. It is easy to avoid dealing with some of these issues, as we do not want to think about our parents becoming older, and the eventual loss we will experience. Difﬁcult as it might be, it will be easier on everyone in the long run if we do not leave our heads in the sand.

Agriculture news & views Beef cattle welfare Report calls MCOOL a trade barrier symposium a success Canadian organizers successfully hosted the Third International Symposium on Beef Cattle Welfare that drew more than 450 in-person and online participants from around the world to Saskatoon, June 5 to 7. This was the ﬁrst time Canada has played host to the educational event that continues to shed an international spotlight on beef cattle welfare and the future of the beef cattle industry. “Based on the event’s registration numbers and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our speakers and participants, we’ve accomplished our goal of informing a wide range of people about the current and emerging welfare issues that face the beef cattle industry around the world,” said Dr. Joseph Stookey, chair of the 2012 symposium. The symposium attracted registrants from all across Canada as well as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Brazil, Finland, and Mexico. While more than 130 participants travelled to Saskatoon for the event, over 300 registered for the symposium’s live webcasts and recorded podcasts. Dr. Temple Grandin of Colorado State University, Dr. David Fraser of the University of British Columbia and Dr. Hans Coetzee of Iowa State University were among the symposium’s 18 speakers who offered global insights on a variety of topics including pain management, animal welfare, animal behaviour and bovine health management. The next symposium will be held in 2014 at a location yet to be determined. Since the ﬁrst International Symposium on Beef Cattle was held in 2008 at Kansas State University, the event’s popularity has continued to grow worldwide.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) welcomed a joint report released by the Fraser Institute last week that ﬁnds that the Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) law in the United States imposes substantial costs on producers for a labeling system that is of little beneﬁt to consumers. The report by the Fraser Institute, Canada’s leading public policy think-tank, and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a public policy organization in Washington, D.C., recommends that the U.S. and Canada improve their already highly integrated supply chain for red meat by streamlining regulations to create a single red meat regime. Under this regime, Canadian and U.S. products would be priced according to their quality, with a single bi-national country of origin label. CCA President Martin Unrau said the recommenda-

Canada Agricultural Products Act and the Meat Inspection Act, and streamline inspection and enforcement powers across all food commodities,” CCA President Martin Unrau said. “The new Act will address important issues in Canada’s beef cattle industry by improving control over imports and enabling traceability to move forward. I am particularly pleased that under the Act imported foods will be required to meet the same high standards that Canadian producers and processors now meet.”

The regulation-enabling section of the Act will provide for the advancement of the national traceability system that the Canadian beef cattle industry has been diligently working on for years. This means that the development of a cattle traceability regulation should more readily go through a thorough review and comment process. The beneﬁts of traceability in the beef cattle industry include disease control and response, support market access, product differentiation and consumer conﬁdence.

tion makes sense. “The CCA has already been working with the Regulatory Cooperation Council to streamline a number of regulations in the livestock industry to facilitate cross-border efﬁciencies. The recommendation for a single red meat regime would certainly be more productive for the beef cattle sectors in both countries than the MCOOL law,” Unrau said.

“The COOL issue costs every Canadian cattle producer at least $25 on every animal they sell regardless of whether it goes to the U.S. or not. In the U.S., an estimated 9,000 U.S. meat processing jobs are at risk if COOL is left unresolved,” he added. In November 2011, the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Panel ruled in favour of Canada and

Mexico’s complaint against COOL. The ruling supported Canada’s position that provisions of COOL discriminate against live cattle and hogs imported into the U.S. from Canada to the detriment of Canadian cattle producers. The U.S. appealed that decision and the matter is now before the WTO Appellate Body. Their ruling is expected to be delivered on June 29.

AgNotes

by Calvin Daniels

There was an interesting article on the Western Producer website. It was about a speaker encouraging rural area businesses to get involved with the social media craze that has engulfed the world. The article was interesting for its content, but more so for the underlying aspect of the story, that rural areas are behind in terms of using the tools of social media to get their story out to the masses. Using tools such as Twitter and Facebook, have become pretty common place for most people these days. Most of us are as apt to check our Facebook page as we are our email. Certainly a site like Facebook is ﬂooded with a lot of worthless information, updates on what people are eating for breakfast, or the latest bad joke circulating the Internet, but it is also a freeway which can connect an individual business with their customers, and more importantly with potential new customers. A small coffee shop can tell those that

care what soup they are serving for lunch, or what folk singer is making a stop to perform, and they can do it with a few key strokes. The message is also well targeted generally going to those who have at least a passing interest in knowing what the soup might be. And, with another keystroke a person can check with the coffee shop to see if the soup is vegetarian for instance. Social media allows for immediate discourse between a business and customer. For farmers such, social media sites offer a sort of power they have not truly had for years, not since the time everyone bought food directly from the farm gate. It’s not a case where every farmer is going to sell their wheat or cattle direct to consumers, but they can still have the discourse. Over the years there has been a real disconnect between farmers and producers. In more than a few situations, the disconnect has created a level of distrust going both ways. Many farmers are increasingly worried about food safety, even at a time when

almost every farmer in this country is using the more current systems and farm management tools to ensure what they produce is both plentiful and safe. Farmers can use social media to get that message to a broader base of people. Through posts and video, farmers can pull back the veil of what they do on the farm so consumers regain some of the lost conﬁdence. Consumers, and in this case that is anyone a farmer befriends through a social media outlet, can also ask questions, and get answers. Many farmers might see it as imposition posting about what they are doing in the ﬁeld, or cattle pasture, but increasingly public perception is demanding producers become more proactive in telling their story. Social media is an effective way to start that process. Calvin Daniels is a Yorkton-based ag columnist and writer. Disclaimer: the opinions expressed are those of the writer.

Crop Report THE WEEKLY

Ninety-six per cent of the 2012 crop has been seeded, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. for the week ending June 11. The fiveyear (2007-2011) average for this time of year is approximately 90 per cent seeded. Ninety-four per cent of the crop is seeded in the southeast, 97 per cent in the southwestern and northwestern regions, 92 per cent in the east-central area and 98 per cent in the west-central and northeastern regions. Precipitation this week ranged from trace amounts to more than five inches in some areas. Producers across the province are still dealing with very wet soil conditions. Topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 28 per cent surplus and 72 per cent adequate.

Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is 16 per cent surplus, 83 per cent adequate and one per cent short. The majority of crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year, although crop development in some areas is behind schedule due to the lack of warm weather. The majority of crops that have emerged are in good to excellent condition. Most recent crop damage was due to excess moisture, although flea beetles and cutworms are causing damage in some canola crops. Excess moisture and high winds are delaying in-crop weed control applications. Farmers are busy finishing seeding, controlling pests and hauling cattle to pasture.

Roland Richter As most of you know, last month we were treated to a visit by the possible future king and the missus. Charles and Camilla made the fair city of Regina one of the stops on their traipse across Canada. One of the places they visited was Ground Effects, a company that specializes in removing pollutants from the soil. Since environmental stuff is one of Charles’ hobbies, it seems like a logical place for him to visit. So, we were sitting around at coffee time, and I happened to mention that the Royals were in town that day and were visiting Ground Effects. One of the guys jokingly thought that maybe they would visit our shop because we just so happen do some work for Ground Effects from time to time. Now I don’t really follow the Royals much and sort of think that people’s tax dollars could be spent on better things, but never the less, I admit I would be somewhat agog at meeting them face to face. So even if the possibility was quite remote, it still would have been cool if they were to come to our place. My only concern was that my pants would fall down. I agree, some explanation needs to be rendered here. My pant problem really had nothing to do with Chuck and Cammy. I know there have been some less than flattering things said about Camilla, but I shall take the high road here and not go in that direction and leave the Camilla jokes to others. Besides, my concern about my pants falling down had nothing to do with them anyway. It was more a case of coincidence than cause and effect. It’s just that I had forgotten to put on a belt that day. It’s one of the downsides of having to dress one’s own self every day. I had also been losing a few pounds in the past months and just so happened to be wearing a pair of trousers that I had bought in a larger size before embarking on the road to a more svelte me. So since they were only obeying the inexorable tug of gravity, it involved a constant monitoring of their proximity to my butt that day. Charles and Camilla’s agenda probably didn’t include the argu-

in left able delight of seeing some dude in his tighty whities, unexpected thrill it no doubt would have been. Not surprisingly, the day passed without any sign of royalty and I did manage not to offend the overall sensibilities of my coworkers. Turns out that I had misheard the radio on the way to work anyway and the majestic couple were going to be in Regina the following day. It all brings to mind that old adage of wearing clean underwear in case you get into an accident. You should always remember to wear

field your belt as well in case you meet royalty. But in case you don’t, it would still be a good idea to be wearing clean underwear. Roland Richter Nokomis, SK Disclaimer: the opinions expressed are those of the writer.

Nokomis resident Wayne Busch snapped this close-up shot of a Tree Swallow nesting in the Busch yard. Although Tree Swallows are often found in large flocks, they will readily use nest boxes and build a nest with layers of grasses, thin twigs and other birds’ feathers. The female lays 4 to 7 white eggs and incubates them by herself. While there are young or eggs in the nest, adults frequently dive bomb intruders, including curious humans, but that behaviour is tolerated because they subsist primarily on a diet of flying insects like mosquitoes.
