In Flanders Fields

By John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Down the Road

C

by Brian Brannagan

Carolyn

arolyn's first trip to Canada was in 1969. The trip started out on a boat from Adelaide, on the south-central coast of Australia.

The boat part of her journey ended in Panama. From there a series of bus trips going north took her through Central America and Mexico and brought her to California. Carolyn spent a few days in San Francisco celebrating her 25th birthday before embarking on another series of bus trips through the central states of the US and up into Canada. She got off the bus in London, Ontario - she had arrived at her destination.

For Carolyn, that first trip to Canada was to visit her sister and brother-inlaw, who had immigrated to Canada some years earlier.

The sister was pregnant at the time of Carolyn's visit and within a month of Carolyn's arrival the sister and her husband had returned to Australia they wanted their child to be a natural born Australian.

And Carolyn, rather than returning to Australia with her sister, decided that seeing as she was in Canada already, she might as well stay a while, take a look around.

She ended up staying quite a while for 33 years she stayed.

Carolyn had lived in Ontario for 9 years and was newly married when she moved out west to Alberta, settling in Calgary, in the foothills to the Rockies. She and her husband lived there for the next 24 years. When she retired, and with her parents passed on, Carolyn and her husband moved to Adelaide, Carolyn's home town, where they were both to continue living for another 20 years - until now.

Carolyn's first trip from Australia to Canada had been a long one - but at the time, she was in no hurry and the slower, more relaxed travel by boat and bus had allowed her to enjoy the journey and savour the experience.

For the young Carolyn, the trip had been an exciting and epic adventure.

Carolyn's most recent trip to Canada, this one, was much quicker, though more arduous, and was more dutiful than exciting. First, a two-hour flight from Adelaide to Sydney, then onto another plane to Vancouver, BC. This flight was much longer, taking 15 hours to complete the 13,400 km trip.

And her journey wasn't finished in Vancouver - another 1 hour flight to Calgary, where she was met at the airport by her son, Carl, and daughter-in-law, Cathy.

Still her journey wasn't completed.

Carolyn and her son and daughter-inlaw then embarked on a long drive to Kananaskis Park, in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, just outside of Banff. In the Kananaskis Park parking lot, they strapped on their day packs, and carrying precious cargo, they started out on a 3-kilometre hike further into the mountains.

They were looking for the ideal spot, something almost familiar and yet particularly striking in its visual appeal, a place secluded and private but still a part of the wild wide-open grandeur that is the essence of the Rockies.

Finally finding that one exactly-right idyllic spot, Carolyn shrugged off her bag pack, carefully taking out the canister from within and which contained the cremated remains of her recently deceased husband, Brian.

Carolyn and her children each took a handful of ashes and gently lofted them up into the light mountain breeze where they hung and drifted for a mere breath of time before descending into the earth amid the long grass, alpine flowers and granite rock, the ashes becoming part of the forever wonder-scape that stretched endlessly in all directions.

Carolyn had travelled many thousands of miles over several days to fulfill her husband's wish to be laid to rest in the land and mountains that he loved, that they both loved.

Carolyn's husband, Brian had been born in England and wasn't yet 4 when the Second World War started.

He was almost 10 before the sheer mind-boggling horror and depravity of the war was finally concluded.

It was fitting then, that his final resting place would be in the ineffable splendour and peacefulness of the Rockies.

Her husband's wish fulfilled, Carolyn returned to Australia feeling both relieved of mind and eased of spirit.

But the return home was to be a much longer and lonelier trip - she no longer had her husband accompanying her; he was still in the Rockies, part of the Rockies.

Carolyn retraced the long, arduous journey back to her home in Adelaide: Calgary to Vancouver, and onto Sydney before finally landing in Adelaide. She made the trip back from the airport in Adelaide with the help of a long-time friend who drove her home and helped her with her bags.

On the front porch Carolyn dug her house keys out of her purse and unlocked and opened the front door.

She stepped across the threshold into an empty house - there was no husband of 44 years to greet her, only the echo of silence.

Carolyn is well into her 70's, too old one would think, to be making such a long and daunting journey - Australia to Canada and back to Australia again - but make it she did.

Carolyn continues to play tennis several times a week and surely has many more good years to come. And, just like many older widows, her shoulders are slightly stooped and her hair grey but she is still graced with a lively humour, bright eyes and a dazzling smile.

Many Prefer to be Employer Dependent Despite Influencers Claiming 9-5 Is Repulsive

I

empathize with people who dislike the idea of working 9-5. Who likes the idea of constantly putting aside their authentic self so they fit in and being under management's control, who can let you go at any time?

I also understand the appeal of 9-5.

All the turmoil in the job market over the past four decades due to recessions, jobs being sent overseas, erratic consumer demands, a worldwide pandemic, and today's supply chain issues coupled with runaway inflation has made downsizing so common that when the media announces layoffs, we barely shrug our shoulders. Employees are free agents. However, thanks to wishful thinking, a "steady job," which today is an oxymoron, is still seen as being much more stable and less risky than going out on your own.

A self-employed person (an entrepreneur or freelancer) is gambling with their livelihood. Despite what people preach, it takes more than just strategy and hard work to achieve overnight success.

Luck plays a significant role in non-9-5 success. First, you need to resonate with a large audience and then—here is the hard part—offer something of value they will be willing to pay for.

Years ago, the point that luck is a key component in achieving success was made to me on a Friday morning, around 2:30 AM, in New York City's Times Square. It had stopped raining. My friend was trying to hail a taxi to get us back to Hackensack, New Jersey. I took out a cigarette and realized I did not have a lighter. A hunchedover man was walking by, so I asked him for a light. Without uttering a word, he pulled out a Zippo. I commented on how beautiful the neon lights looked, reflecting off the wet pavement. My new friend snapped shut his Zippo. As he walked away, he said, "For every lightbulb on Broadway, there are a thousand broken hearts."

Internet talking heads, peddling lessons they have barely learned, preach that the entrepreneur/freelancer lifestyle should be everyone's dream. Conveniently they do not mention the loneliness, fear, constant instability, and chronic worry that often come with such a lifestyle.

Nowadays, there's so much noise around the best way to earn a living; much of it is just made-up stories by influencers, a subjective label, trying to manipulate you for their benefit.

A sentence designed to make you unhappy: If you work a 9 to 5 job, you are working for someone else's dreams. Is it not possible that working for someone else helps you to live your dream, which could be to save enough money to retire at 55, golf every weekend with a clear mind (When you own a business, it's on your mind 24/7.) or to simply have enough money to pay the rent, eat and enjoy a few of life's pleasures while having two days off a week to chill?

There is no shame in wanting and being happy with a 9-5 job. Most people just want to show up, perform their duties, get paid and have evenings and weekends to enjoy their lives while saving 20% (Having a financial cushion for the inevitable "Sorry, we no longer need you" is a wise strategy to adopt.)

Not everyone wants to work from home, have a side hustle or become a millionaire.

Money is not everything. (Gasp!) The happiest people I know are those chasing a purpose instead of money.

A trend among influencers is to tell their followers to quit their jobs because they are being exploited so they, too, can make $5,000 by creating content. Yes, it is possible not to work a 9-5, as millions do, but you will work, and you will constantly be hustling for your next gig.

By Nick Kossovan Influencers make their money by selling dreams, hopes, and emotions. Their business model is telling their followers what they want to hear. In order to make money, they must tell thousands of people they have a sure-fire 5 Easy Ways to Make Money methodology and then digitally reel you in to buy their book and courses or to attend their virtual boot camp to learn the secrets and skills that will free you from, God forbid, relying on an employer to earn a living.

I am sure your social media feeds, like mine, are full of self-serving motivational quotes and posts designed to make people, especially those who have not yet settled on a career path (READ: young, impressionable, haven't yet taken on full adult responsibilities), feel guilty if they want to be a doctor, accountant, engineer, or chef.

At my age, I am deeply ingrained in the corporate world; thus, it is easy for me to see through these attempts to make those who have chosen to be an employee miserable. In my opinion, their sales pitch is equivalent to, You may be good at working on someone's dream, but you do not feel and look good. So why not blow off your 9-5 to become a millionaire and get plastic surgery?

So, what if a person is happy trading their time for money?

Everyone has different circumstances. Being an employee is far more secure, especially if you adopt the habit of saving 20%, than going on your own.

Many people buy into the self-serving narratives influencers sell. First, they write a blog, but as much as they try, they cannot get traffic to their blog. Then they write a book; only it does not sell because there are 1,000s of books evangelizing what they are evangelizing. Next, they set up a YouTube channel and upload their homemade video, Ten Ways to Cook Eggs. DAMN! NO VIEWS! Much of the craziness, toxicity, and photoshopped pictures that primarily populate social media are desperate attempts to generate the number of followers and viewership believed to be a requirement to becoming an influencer and escaping their 95.

Random people on the internet bragging about their supposed four-hour work week gives many the idea that hustling 24/7 is the life they should be leading.

Welcome to the hustle culture.

I have seen firsthand the consequences of participating in the hustle culture.

• Constantly feeling the urge to be busy. (A recipe for inducing anxiety.)

• Wanting to make everyone around them join the "productivity" cult.

• Being disrespectful to those around them whom they perceive as less ambitious than they are.

• Feeling guilty when spending leisurely, socializing, or having fun.

The definition of success varies from person to person. How someone defines their success is personal. You are no less human because a 9-5 job works for you, as it does for most people. Do not let "influencers," whose purpose is to make you unhappy for being an employee and then conveniently sell you their solution to the unhappiness they created, steer you otherwise—just do not forget to save 20%.

PlayNow.com Online gaming Available November 3rd New PlayNow.com sponsorship partnership with the Saskatchewan Roughriders Saskatchewan’s first and only legal online gaming and sports betting site, PlayNow.com, will be available to Saskatchewan residents beginning Thursday, November 3, 2022.

SIGA will be the official operator of PlayNow.com in Saskatchewan as per an operating agreement with SaskGaming.

“We are excited to be the exclusive provider of Saskatchewan’s first and only legal online gaming site, which will provide a safe and secure option for residents to play their favourite casino games and bet on their favourite sports teams online,” said SIGA President and CEO Zane Hansen.

“The rollout of online gaming and single event sports betting opens up new casino entertainment options for residents,” said SaskGaming President and CEO Susan Flett. “The launch timing is also ideal with Saskatchewan hosting this year’s Grey Cup in November.”

“Residents will be pleased to know that when they play on the PlayNow.com site, the proceeds are reinvested back into the province” said Hansen, unlike other grey market sites. “Similar to the existing brick-and-mortar casinos in the province, all net proceeds from the PlayNow.com site are reinvested back into Saskatchewan,” he said.

Additionally, PlayNow.com, has partnered with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, in a sponsorship agreement for PlayNow.com. The Riders will be featuring the PlayNow.com logo on their jerseys, starting at the home game against the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday, October 22, along with other stadium activations, promoting the new online gaming and sports betting site, coming to Saskatchewan.

“We are excited to welcome PlayNow.com as a valued partner and newest member of our strong Rider Nation” said Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club President & CEO Craig Reynolds.

PlayNow.com in Saskatchewan is provided by BCLC and is based on British Columbia’s successful PlayNow.com business model, with many of the same entertaining casino and sports-betting products, supported by world-class vendors and their strategic partnerships with BCLC. Saskatchewan will be the third province to use BCLC’s PlayNow.com platform, which is the only gambling website in North America and one of few in the worlds with dedicated responsiblegambling specialists – known as GameSense Advisors – available via live chat to support safer play online. PlayNow.com meets high standards for safety, security, technical integrity, age verification and responsible gambling.

The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) and the Province entered into an innovative agreement in September 2021, which enabled SIGA to bring PlayNow.com to Saskatchewan. The agreement is the first of its kind in Canada and further strengthens the partnership between the FSIN and the Province in Saskatchewan’s gaming sector.

Rural Breast Cancer Screening Bus

A

n estimated 760 Saskatchewan women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, and 170 will die from the disease. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer in women and the second leading cause of their death. There is, however, a resource that can help to prevent severe outcomes of breast cancer, improving access throughout the province.“The screening mammogram is such an important, and potentially life-saving exam. It checks for breast cancer in women who have no signs or symptoms of the disease, so it is an absolutely critical tool in detecting breast cancer at its earliest stages.

When cancer is caught early, there can be more treatment options and better outcomes. We know that early detection saves lives,” said Nora Yeates, CEO of the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan. However, for Saskatchewan women in rural and remote communities, access to screening mammograms is challenging. Given the vast geography of Saskatchewan and dispersed population, accessing a screening mammogram is more challenging for some women.

The good news is that the Breast Cancer Screening Bus has been traveling across Saskatchewan since 1990, bringing the exam to rural and remote populations. However, the current bus, purchased in 2002, needs to be replaced. Accessing parts for repairs and maintenance on the 20-year-oldvehicle is now challenging, resulting in time off the road and reducing access to potentially life-saving screening mammograms for Saskatchewan women. To ensure every woman in Saskatchewan has access to a screening mammogram, the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan is committed to raising $2 million to replace the aging bus and its digital mammography equipment. “This bus has facilitated more than

250,000 screening mammograms over the past 20 years, and we need to replace it so that it can continue to offer this potentially life-saving exam to thousands more women in the years ahead,” said Yeates. The Foundation is focused on raising $2 million by March 31, 2023, to enable the replacement and upgrading of the bus. “People in Saskatchewan have been very generous to the Cancer Agency over the years, and I want to thank all of our donors past and present for their contributions," said Deb Bulych, Interim President and CEO of the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency. "A new mammography bus will allow us to continue toreach populations in rural and surrounding communities to improve breast cancer outcomes.” Upcoming Local Bus Schedule Outlook Co-op Store - December 5 - 16 Davidson Health Centre - December 19 - 23 Book Appointments at 1-855-584-8228

Angel Tree Program Supports Delisle Community

hristmas is the most wonderful time of the year for many, but it can also be an extra challenging time for some. The Angel Tree Program is back again this year providing opportunities for all to participate. The goal of this program is to spread Christmas cheer throughout our community, lending a hand to others, that are going through a challenging time and in need of a little extra help.

The goal Last year we served more than 50 local individuals and families, making their Christmas season a little lighter, and we hope to do the same this year with the help from our amazing Community Angels. There are small and big gifts to be purchased and we appreciate all contributions.

Being a Community Angel can be a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn the joy of giving. Families can go in together helping out another local family.

There are families with many mouths to feed benefitting from this program and there are individuals without a lot of family that get to enjoy unwrapping a personal gift.

Nominations You can help out our program by nominating anyone in the community, that you think should benefit from this program. We also welcome self nominations if you find yourself in need! We accept nominations until November 30th (email delisleangeltree@gmail.com or call Rosemary at 306-220-3788).

The committee members will reach out to all nominees and ask if they are interested in participating and get their need and wish items from them.

Everything is kept completely confidential and we will not be sharing any personal or contact information with anyone.

Be an Angel Our Christmas Tree will be up at HUB International in Delisle and from December 1st it will be decorated with Angel tags. Every card on the tree holds need and wish items from a nominee.

Members of our community become our Community Angels by stopping by, picking up an Angel tag and then purchasing the items, wrapping them up and bringing them back to HUB International by December 15th. The Angel tree committee members will then collect the items and distribute the gifts along with food hampers before Christmas.

We also graciously accept donations of non-perishable and naturally non-expired food items to be included in our food hampers.

There will be a box at HUB International for food items and you can also contact Rachelle Domoslai (306-715-2737) or Crista Gessell (306-493-0009).

We also rely on many wonderful local businesses, and we owe a big thank you to these past sponsors. Please support these local businesses, so that they can keep on giving back to our community: AGT Foods Barrich Farms Colborn Farms Delisle Co-op Delisle & District Volunteer Firefighters Association Ingredion Keybrand Foods Mobil Grain NSC Minerals Nutrien Prairie Centre Credit Union RBC Royal Bank Richardson Pioneer Thank you in advance for supporting our program and making a difference in someone’s life this Holiday Season!

AgRICULTURE REPORTS

RM Review

Final Crop Report For the Period October 11 to 17, 2022 Harvest is virtually complete across Saskatchewan as dry weather through much of September and October allowed producers to effectively harvest their crops without major weather delays.

Harvest started early for many producers in the southwest and west-central regions after another dry growing season. Late seeding dates and weekly precipitation during the flowering and seed filling stages delayed harvest in the eastern and northern parts of the province until the latter half of August, but resulted in higher yield potential. However, the weather remained dry, and producers were able to gain momentum with their harvest and get all their crop in without any major issues.

Now that harvest is complete in all regions of the province, producers would like to see some steady precipitation before the ground freezes and winter arrives.

Crop yields vary throughout the province, depending heavily on the amount of moisture received throughout the season. Yields in the southwest and west-central regions are once again below average, with some producers reporting slightly improved yields compared to last year. Yields in the eastern and northern regions were much improved and many producers are reporting yields higher than average.

The largest impacts on yields this year were drought, gophers, grasshoppers, wind and drowned out crops in the spring.

Average yields are being estimated as 44 bushels per acre for hard red spring wheat, 31 bushels per acre for durum, 93 bushels per acre for oats, 64 bushels per acre for barley, 36 bushels per acre for canola, 34 bushels per acre for peas and 1,165 pounds per acre for lentils.

Quality ratings for all crops are largely in the top two grade categories for each respective crop. The largest contributors to downgrading were light kernel weights due to drought, insect damage, grain bleaching or discolouring from rain, and an increase in diseases such as ergot in cereal crops such as spring wheat and durum.

We’re Hiring!

We are looking for FT & PT applicants to join our cattle marketing team.

Miller Livestock has been in the livestock business for over 40 years and is still growing today.

We are looking for eager, hardworking employees who wish to advance their careers in the cattle marketing industry.

Duties include shipping and receiving of cattle, sorting and grading, on farm appraisals and procurement.

Cattle experience is definitely a valuable asset, but not necessarily a requirement.

Please forward your resume to millerlivestock@sasktel.net

Moisture conditions are a concern for some producers, especially those who have struggled through the season with infrequent and minimal rainfalls. Even the regions that started the year with a surplus of moisture are now becoming very dry and producers are hoping for rain soon.

Significant precipitation will be needed this fall and over winter to replenish moisture levels in the soil and dugouts. Heading into winter, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 22 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and 43 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 16 per cent adequate, 37 per cent short and 47 per cent very short.

Hay yields greatly improved across much of the province as higher amounts of precipitation allowed for early growth and rapid regrowth throughout the growing season. Hay land in the southwest and west-central struggled once again through drought-like conditions which resulted in less-than-optimal hay yields. Provincially, average hay yields on dry land are reported as 1.4 tons per acre (alfalfa), 1.4 tons

per acre (alfalfa/brome and wild hay), 1.10 tons per acre (other tame hay) and 2 tons per acre (greenfeed). On irrigated land, the estimated average hay yields are 2 tons per acre (alfalfa), 2.3 tons per acre (alfalfa/brome), 1.5 tons per acre (wild hay) and 3 tons per acre (greenfeed). Most of the hay going into winter is rated as fair to excellent, with only one per cent rated as poor.

Due to improved hay yields, winter feed supplies for livestock such as cattle have also improved. Producers in the northern and eastern regions have indicated they will have surplus or adequate inventories of hay, straw, green feed and feed grain.

Producers in the southwest and west-central report they did not have the ability to replenish their feed stocks completely and are sourcing their feed from other parts of the province, with some purchasing hay from Alberta or Manitoba. For some producers, their feed inventory is too depleted and feed too costly to purchase, leading them to reduce their herd size to fit the feed they have available.

Water hauling was once again common for many areas of the province as dugouts, sloughs and other water bodies dried up and become unsafe for livestock. Producers constantly tested water quality and were forced to move cattle off pastures that had unsafe water, putting increased pressure on already struggling grasslands. More rain and an above average snowfall this winter is needed to ensure that water quantity and quality is not an issue next year.

Now that harvest is complete, farmers will be able to complete fall work such as fixing fences, moving cattle, hauling grain and bales, picking rocks and other miscellaneous field work. Farmers will continue to do their field work until the ground freezes or a big snowfall occurs.

Saskatchewan Agriculture has a group of 200 volunteer crop reporters from across the province.

Thank you for your valued dedication to the crop report. In 2022, there are seven crop reporters reaching their 25-year milestone; one reaching 30 years; two reaching 40 years; and two who have reported for over 45 years.

Congratulations!!
