Macklin Minor Football receives huge support

BY JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group

The Macklin Football Association (MMFA) raised $46,2895.95 at their primary fundraising event, the Charity Sportsman Dinner & Auction, Friday, April 8th at the Macklin Communiplex on Highway 31. Pat Veller, football president, said the amount raised is slightly above the average amount raised over the three times they have hosted the Sportsman Dinner event. Guest speakers for the evening were Glen Suitor and Kelly Taylor.

“The amount raised was all due to the unbelievable support by way of donations for silent and live auction items, as well as cash donations,” Pat explained. Signed jerseys were hot items, with approximately 75 businesses and families contributing a wide variety of services and items to the auction. There was also terrific support from the people who attended and purchased items.

The Macklin Minor Football Association committee consists of eight members: Tim Veller, Wade Dean, Eldon Germann, Lori Cosh, Courtney Bogen, Chris Cowie and Brian Thomas. The committee also appreciates volunteer help received from local businesses such as Synergy Credit Union, and from football parents who helped with the set up and decorations for the event.

The money raised goes towards equipment, field upgrades and new buildings such as the clock tower and clubhouse/booth. “Our final goal was to put up permanent lights for night games,” Pat said.

“The last event helped us pay off our lights loan and also put money away for future equipment and operating costs.”

“This was our last event for the MMFA, however I plan to try to continue the bi-annual event in Macklin moving forward, with the idea of helping other non-profit sports teams or groups,” Pat concluded.

Nodding

I heard someone say, the reason we “nod off to sleep” in a boring meeting is so it looks like we’re emphatically agreeing with everything. We definitely cannot afford to fall asleep now, after decisions were made at meetings in Switzerland last week that impact our lives. If we fall asleep, our silence may be construed as agreement.

Last week the World Economic Forum (WEF) met in Davos, Switzerland. The UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) also held their conference at the same time at Geneva. Billionaires, politicians, celebrities and even dictators met in Davos, the luxury ski town. They presented a contradictory message at the WEF, about the importance of climate change while arriving on their private jets.

The media portrays both organizations as institutions whose purpose is to help the world become a safer place, yet their authenticity is questionable. False store fronts were constructed on the streets of Davos prior to the conference, making it appear much like a movie set. The only authentic kiosks were those set up by The Wall Street Journal, Google, You Tube and Dow Jones, all of which were participants in the conference.

Hundreds of armed men surrounded the area, protecting the elites from the common people. In addition to the Swiss police,

off to sleep mirrors agreement

hundreds of heavily-armed soldiers were present, and convoys of military trucks.

Meanwhile in Canada, the media appears to protect these organizations. Anyone who dares to ask questions about the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) which were voted on, is quickly criticized and demeaned. Anyone who dares mention concerns regarding negotiations being made for a Global Pandemic Treaty, where 193 countries are involved, immediately has those concerns swept away as though they were irrelevant.

When the media issues a public response to any dissenting voices, they utilize the expertise of neutral voices, but fail to mention the connections of these experts. Those connections include everything from the Trudeau Foundation, working for the WHO, or the federal government. Could any of these experts be considered as ‘neutral’ in their opinions?

All endeavours are accomplished one step at a time. Leslyn Lewis, MP, explained, “If this document is passed,” she said, referring to amendments to the IHR, “I believe it lays the foundation for the transfer of powers from nation states to the unelected WHO during pandemics, thus legitimizing the drafting and potential passage of the World Pandemic Treaty.”

The amendments are the first step in the process.

The head of the WEF has already said “the future is being built by us”. However, everyday citizens only recognize most of these people by name. They may be more familiar with others, such as Justin Trudeau, but do they trust these individuals to make decisions on their behalf?

Christine Anderson, a German Member of European Parliament, said, “Granting government powers to a non-elected body is the exact opposite of democratic recourse and takes away any possibility for the people to hold officials accountable. This amounts to no less than disenfranchising the people. I am imploring you, look into this and protect the rights of the people.”

This is easier said than done, since any outsider who dares to “look into this”, is promptly and publicly demeaned. Questions, discussions and even information and data are censored.

When the masses object, they’re described as rebellious, refusing to follow and

obey the wisdom of these leaders, however many people are tired of pseudo leaders. The strength of a movement is not in blind obedience, and alignment can’t be forced upon everyday citizens.

Douglas McArthur once said, “A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He/she does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his/her actions and the integrity of his/her intent.”

Authentic leaders work to empower the people they lead; this happens through relationship. Relationship alignment is not easy to achieve but it’s worth the effort.

We all realize the important role relationship plays in families, so shouldn’t it

be equally as important in our communities, provinces and nation? Why would we allow a global institution to make decisions for us ... institutions that do not listen to people, but expect blind obedience?

We aren’t made to function independent of one another. We are gifted to serve each other. We’re meant to be empowered by leadership, not discouraged. It’s hazardous to forget the importance of the voice of the people, while expecting them to pay their taxes and dues, while the government makes decisions on their behalf. Such a strategy would be a disaster in a family setting; so why would it work provincially, nationally or internationally? This is not a time to nod off to sleep while world leaders make decisions on our behalf.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Does Democracy Really Work?

There seems to be concerns nowadays about the threat to democracy in democratically aligned countries. Why are large segments of the population protesting and even in some cases using violence against their democratically elected government. “Rep by Pop” and “Majority Rules “ seems a fair way of governing. But is it? In my opinion there are cases where democracy works and cases where it does not. I think the success of democratically made decisions depends largely on the size and area affected by that decision. A good example of this is when the city of Calgary voted to accept or reject the fluoridation of their water supply. Hear you had people of a set area making a decision which affected them all equally. To me that sounded like a fair way to resolve the question.

On the other hand when you consider an area the size of Canada and the large variation in its population it’s obvious that the lesser populated areas will receive less consideration when important decisions are being made. This is evident from the staunch defence of the dairy industry in NAFTA negotiations to the perpetuation of the. “Equalization “ formula which sees billions of dollars transferred from the west to the two big eastern provinces. Of course politicians will say that the money first goes to Ottawa and then is distributed according to the formula but this is just a matter of semantics.

Will this situation ever change? As long as 90% of elections are decided before polls open in the west the answer is no. In fact this was so obvious that a number of years ago it was decided not to show the election results until the polls were closed across Canada as it was felt western voters would lose interest in casting their ballots knowing the election was already settled.

So what is the solution to this obvious inequality? I believe that once again the area or size and the population in that area should have greater say in decisions that affect them. This would mean greater power given to the individual provinces and less power to the central government so that certain areas are not treated more “equally” than others.

Presently the leadership of the federal conservative party is being debated. It is interesting to note that many of the candidates are recognizing the obvious presence of Western alienation. They are all aware that it exists but what will they do about it. Are their speeches sincere or is it just lip service? If the status quo continues as I’m sure it will, their concerns Will soon be swept aside and we’ll go back to playing the same old game.

Weekly Crop Report

Seeding progress climbed throughout many regions in the past week, despite a storm that brought snow and rain to parts of the province. Fifty-two per cent of the 2022 crop is now seeded, up from 33 per cent last week. This is still behind the fiveyear average (20172021) of 78 per cent for this time of year. The rainfall received over the past week in drier areas will help improve soil moisture conditions and establishment of early seeded crops.

The west central region is the farthest along with 81 per cent of the crop seeded.

Seventy-six per cent of the crop is seeded in the northwest, 73 per cent seeded in the southwest, 44 per cent seeded in the southeast, 22 per cent seeded in the northeast and 21 per cent seeded in the east-central region of the province.

The east received significant amounts of precipitation. The Hudson Bay area reported 88 mm, the Jedburgh area 85 mm, the Rama area 83 mm, the Indian Head area 32 mm and the Biggar and Cando areas

11 mm. While rain is welcome in the eastern half of the province, many producers are eager to continue their seeding operations.

Soil moisture continues to improve across the province, mainly in the eastern regions where most of the spring precipitation was received. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 15 per cent surplus, 58 per cent adequate, 18 per cent short and nine per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as six per cent surplus, 63 per cent adequate, 20 per cent short and eleven per cent very short.

Pasture conditions are rated as 10 per cent excellent, 27 per cent good, 36 per cent fair, 16 per cent poor and 11 per cent very poor.

Pastures in the western half of province are struggling to establish this spring due to very limited precipitation causing many livestock producers in the area to continue to feed cattle on farm. Earlier seeded crops have started to emerge where moisture is sufficient, but cool weather over the

past week has slowed development of many crops. In general, most crops are rated as normal for their development except for canola, which was rated as 67 per cent behind. This is likely due to the extremely dry conditions in the southwest and west central regions, delaying growth and the recent cool weather across the whole province. Most of the crop damage this week was due to minor flooding, light frosts, drought conditions and flea beetles. Producers continue to report that there is a shortage of farm equipment parts. There are also some reports of input and herbicide shortages throughout the province.

Changes To PST Will Benefit Farmers And Agriculture Industry

Amendments to the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) regulations will provide greater clarity to farmers and help ensure that PST is applied fairly and consistently to farming and agricultural goods and services.

“After speaking with agricultural organizations in our province, we heard concerns that PST was inconsistently applied to farming and agricultural activity,” Deputy Premier and Finance Minister Donna Harpauer said. “The changes to the PST regulations will be more equitable, consistent and protect farmers against perceived ‘PST creep’ in farming activity.”

Effective April 1, 2022, new PST exemptions were made through regulation changes. These exemptions include:

• prefabricated wind breaker panels for use in the protection and handling of livestock

• insulators for electrified livestock fences

• certain farm equipment attached to a registered vehicle

• on-farm dugout excavation and for trenching (in specific circumstances related to farming)

Additionally, it was clarified that the following products are also exempt from PST and are retroactive to April 1, 2016:

• water storage tanks used in spraying or irrigating crops

• storage tanks for weed control chemicals, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, liquid fertilizer

• adjuvants that improve their efficacy or application

• portable seed cleaners used onfarm by farmers in preparing their crop for storage or market (farmers in the business of seed cleaning must pay PST on their seed cleaning equipment)

• farm tractors

“While inflation and operating costs have been rising the last couple of years, cattle producers, and all farmers, simply cannot pass along higher costs including taxes,” Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association Chair Arnold Balicki said. “The recognition of this by the Government of Saskatchewan when it comes to PST on several important farm related goods and activities is appreciated by Saskatchewan’s cattle producers. Keeping this tax out of the industry helps keep it on a level and fair playing field, making us more competitive in the long run.”

The estimated, annual cost of these changes is about $1 million. The Ministry of Finance is also beginning discussions about modernizing the agriculture and farming section of PST legislation, to potentially be considered in future budgets.

“Catholic and Living It” theme explored at first diocesan CWL convention since the pandemic

By Kiply Lukan Yaworski, Catholic Saskatoon News

[Macklin, SK – April 25, 2022]Inspiration, prayer, reports, future plans, and annual business were all part of the 86th diocesan convention of the Catholic Women’s League of Canada held April 25 at St. Mary Parish, Macklin, SK. CWL members from across the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon joined provincial and national representatives, spiritual advisors and other special guests for the convention after a two-year hiatus caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Reflecting on the national theme of “Catholic and Living It,” presenters and participants focused on new ways forward and a spirit of evangelization, mission and regeneration.

The convention opening ceremonies at St. Mary Parish Hall, Macklin, included the presentation of colours led by bagpiper Margot de le Gorgendiere, who is also chair of organization on the diocesan CWL executive. Nancy Hollman, of St. Mary Parish CWL council was MC, thanking the parish CWL members and those from nearby St. Donatus and Denzil councils for their help in organizing the diocesan convention, attended by some 107 participants.

Saskatoon diocesan CWL President Audrey Zimmerman called the convention to order, acknowledging Treaty 6 territory and the traditional land of Indigenous and

Métis people.

Marion Laroque, diocesan CWL chair of spiritual development, and Avis Hardy, resolutions chair, led the opening prayer. “We gather together here today with joy, the true joy of faith in the Resurrection, and with grateful hearts, for it is by Your saving power that we are once again able to meet in person,” prayed the assembly.

St. Mary Parish, Macklin pastor Fr. Binu Rathappillil, VC, brought greetings to the convention, as did Bishop Mark Hagemoen of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon, Jeff Stang of the Macklin Knights of Columbus, Darlene Kidd of Grace United Church in Macklin, and representatives from sister CWL organizations in the Diocese of Prince Albert (Past-President Helen Kayfish) and the Archdiocese of Regina (Janette Rieger.)

“I was looking forward to this for many, many reasons,” said Bishop Mark Hagemoen during the opening ceremonies. “The Church has always been very much held up by women, not just in terms of service but in terms of leadership... the world needs the leadership and the example of Catholic women perhaps more than ever.”

The national Catholic Women’s League organization was represented in the keynote speaker for the day: Cathy Bouchard, National Spiritual Development Chair, who brought a message from CWL national President Fran Lucas.

After the past two years that will

go down in history for challenges faced, “now you can revel in the fact that things have and continue to change -- a return to a more normal life, a more normal way of being a league member,” wrote Lucas. “Take time to reflect on the blessing and pilgrimage of being part of an organization with more than 63,000 members. May the League’s core values of faith, service and social justice help you live out the national theme ‘Catholic and Living It.’”

In her report, diocesan CWL President Audrey Zimmerman also pointed to the challenges of the past two years and the COVID-19 pandemic, and noted that challenges and risks continue. “That does not take away from the joy that we have in being together,” she said.

Zimmerman acknowledged all the CWL councils celebrating milestone anniversaries this year, including those in parishes at Major, Cudworth, and Bruno (95 years); Eston (90 years); and Foam Lake (45 years.)

“Without parish councils there is no Catholic Women’s League of Canada,” Zimmerman said, thanking presidents and councils for their leadership.

“Our diocesan council is here to serve you,” she added, pointing to workshops, including one to be held in Kindersley on May 14 from 10 am to noon, with a focus on prayer and leadership.

“Our theme for the next two

years is ‘Catholic and Living It,’ a topic that is dear to our hearts. We love our Catholic faith, we share it with our families and communities, we embrace the call to holiness and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. So how do we live it?” she asked, giving examples of outreach and service that CWL councils have provided and continue to provide to those in need or in crisis. “This is part of what we do, what we are, what gives our councils life.”

The Saskatoon diocesan CWL is also proud to be involved in IWIN – “I’m Worth It Now” project of outreach and assistance to assist human trafficking survivors by providing them with backpacks of supplies and by raising awareness about this important issue, she noted. “I would like to thank all the parishes and councils who have contributed financially, and the many CWL members who are keeping these victims of human traficking in their daily prayers.”

CWL member Diane Cote of St. John Bosco, Saskatoon, has accepted a position on the IWIN board, Zimmerman reported.

She also pointed to the opportunity of the upcoming 2024 National CWL Convention, which will be hosted in Saskatoon in August 2024, and which will require support and assistance from councils and CWL members across the diocese and beyond. “If you can volunteer, contact myself, Margaret (Schwab), Marion Laroque,” Zimmerman said.

The Clown Family is coming to Kindersley!

BY JOAN JANZEN

Your Southwest Media Group

One of the many highlights of a rodeo are the jokes and antics performed by the rodeo clown, and this is sure to be the case at the upcoming Kindersley rodeo on the first weekend of June. Tyler Wagner from St. Paul, Alberta, will be clowning around, but he won’t be alone.

Tyson’s wife TJ and sons Trace and Tyler accompany him to every rodeo event. Some know the family as the “Clown Family”; the 11 and 13-year-old boys help out in the ring. “They come with me, and most of my acts involve them. They’re naturally funny,” Tyson explained. Both boys plan to follow in Tyson’s clown shoe footsteps.

Long before Tyson became a rodeo clown, he was a kid who was born and raised in Macklin, Sask. where he completed his elementary and high school education. He didn’t grow up in a “rodeo family”; he was a town kid who didn’t even own a pair of cowboy boots. But that all changed when he attended a rodeo with his family.

Tyson’s not sure if it was a rodeo in Unity or in Kindersley that first sparked his interest, but after one rodeo, he was hooked and decided then and there that’s what he wanted to do.

At the age of 19, Tyson took up bull riding and moved to Alberta in his early 20’s. He suffered multiple concussions throughout his bull riding career, was dragged by horses, fell off horses and fences, had his neck broken, and has a permanent hole in his trachea.

But he also acquired prestigious awards, coming away as Lakeland Rodeo Association finals bullfighter in 2006, 2007 and 2008, and the Wildrose Rodeo Association Finals bullfighter in 2008. He’s a member of the Canadian Cowboys Association, Lakeland Rodeo Association and the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association.

After twenty years of riding bulls and horses, he continues to do what he loves, except now he’s entertaining crowds in the ring

with his clown antics. The Wagner clown crew travels to rodeos throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and B.C. Their first rodeo for this season was at the 2022 North Battleford Kinsmen Rodeo on the April 30th weekend.

“I’ve been at it for 13 years; it’s the sport I decided to get into,” he said. “I’m not really good at anything else.”

Every clown has their own unique style; Tyson’s includes props like a t-shirt slingshot that he has been known to shoot at a kid in the crowd. Being a barrel man has also always been one of Tyson’s passions. His funny material comes from what he sees and hears, things people can relate to. “There’s no shortage of funny stuff happening,” he said.

Tyson’s boys started their clowning careers at a young age. His youngest son started before he could walk. “I dressed him up in an outfit like mine,” Tyson said. Trace was dubbed as ‘Tracer - the world’s smallest rodeo clown.’ “It’s all they’ve ever known,” Tyson said.

Tyson and his boys do a different act every night of each rodeo. “The kids kind of dictate what we do. On the way to the rodeo, we have a discussion; they keep me on the straight and narrow,” he said.

The Wagner family and their two dogs enjoy going to rodeos, meeting different people, and seeing various attractions. But the best part of rodeo life, according to Tyson, is being able to do it as a family. “It’s our family time,” he said.

The boys are fortunate to be able to take time off from school to accommodate their rodeo trips and play hockey in the winter. Tyson works full-time as a manager/ice maker at the local curling rink during the winter months and works at the golf course during the summer. “We give ‘er pretty good,” is how Tyson described their busy lives.

In spite of their busy schedules, the Wagner clown crew looks forward to weekends when they get on the road and into the ring to entertain rodeo enthusiasts.

Later in the convention program, Margaret Schwab of Holy Spirit CWL council in Saskatoon described a project for CWL members to take on in support of the 2024 National Convention in Saskatoon: crafting of 15-inch by 15-inch tote bags in CWL colours as a gift for an expected 700 convention delegates.

The struggle to find leadership and attract members is another reality that councils are engaged with, Zimmerman noted. For some CWL councils, the inability to find leaders leads to disbanding a council. “Taking a leadership role in the CWL is demanding, but the rewards are very great, and Our Lady walks with us every step of the way,” said the diocesan CWL president in her report on the eve of the feast say of CWL patron Our Lady of Good Counsel.

Saskatchewan Provincial CWL President Chantal Devine brought greetings to the Saskatoon diocesan convention, and a report.

In her report, provincial CWL President Devine pointed to a need to promote membership in the Catholic Women’s League, and to call forth leaders. “Have you shared the gift of the league with someone?” she challenged. “We should not be afraid, not feel ashamed. We should be proud and so willing to share the gift of the League,” -- the largest Catholic women’s organization in Canada whose main objective is to grow in faith.

“Taking on the role of a leadership position is an act of charity in fulfilling volunteer work.. love God by serving others and step up to the plate,” Devine urged. “Don’t be afraid to make a commitment. One very good way of growing is by serving others.”

She invited CWL members to attend the 74th Provincial CWL Convention June 5-6 in Swift Current, SK, featuring guest speakers national CWL President Fran Lucas and Hon. Russell B. Mirasty , the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan.

The program also included a message from Provincial CWL Spiritual Advisor Fr. Peter Nnanga, MSP. Later in the program, diocesan CWL Spiritual Advisor Fr. John Abban-Bonsu also delivered a message to the convention.

“Times and situations have changed, but the mission and purpose of the Catholic Women’s League has never changed, and that should be our hope,” said Abban-Bonsu. “Our gathering here today is a victory of hard work by the executive and all of you.... a victory of perseverance, a victory of patience -- it is a victory of prayer.”

issues and responses to hunger, and increasing support for those suffering from addictions, abuse and violence, including human trafficking.

In her keynote address “Catholic and Living It,” National Spiritual Development Chair Cathy Bouchard reflected on the gift of living “our sacramental lives.” Each baptized person is grafted onto Christ, called to live out the baptismal role of “priest, prophet and king” in the world, she said, breaking open the meaning and richness of those marks of our baptism.

Bouchard urged CWL members to bring themselves to the Eucharist as their offering to God, “carrying out the work of Jesus, bringing justice, love and tenderness to the world,” she said.

“It is impossible to be a prophet and to share God’s Word if we don’t know it ourselves,” said Bouchard, urging CWL members to deepen their faith by prayer and study, as well as by serving others. “Let us live our lives witnessing to our faith and being gracious.”

The convention’s afternoon program included a presentation on “Poverty: What Can We Do?” by Myron Rogal, coordinator of Justice and Peace for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon, exploring the issue of homelessness and possible grassroots responses, food supply

He described how parishes, CWL and Knights of Columbus councils have an opportunity to partner with community agencies to build relationships and find ways of addressing the largest needs in their areas, including providing volunteers and assisting with existing projects -- as well as simply raising awareness.

Saskatchewan Oilman of the Year Grant Fagerheim

BY BRIAN ZINCHUK www.pipelineonline.ca

Five years ago, Estevan’s Grant Fagerheim, of Whitecap Resources Inc., was inducted into the Saskatchewan Petroleum Industry Hall of Fame. Today he is Saskatchewan’s Oilman of the Year.

Grant Fagerheim is president and chief executive officer of Whitecap Resources Inc. He has worked and served as a director in both the upstream and downstream segments of the energy industry over his 30+ year career in the energy sector. He was founder of Ketch Energy Ltd., Ketch Resources Ltd. and Kereco Energy Ltd. (Cadence).

Grant was born and raised in Estevan, where his father worked in the coal industry and his mother was a long-serving nurse. Grant left home in 1977 to pursue his passion for hockey. He attended, played hockey and graduated from the University of Calgary.

“Hockey has always been my passion and it’s a passion I’ve carried forward into my approach to business. Whether in business or in sports, I’ve always focused on building teams. Each iteration of my ventures in the energy sector has focused on assembling strong teams, durable assets and a plan to create long-term value for shareholders.” Grant says.

Grant had various roles in the energy sector up until April 2000 when he was recruited to take the reins as President and CEO of the first Ketch Energy growth company.

Grant founded Whitecap in the fall of 2009 with a capitalization of $46 million, initially producing around 850 barrels a day. Today, the company is worth over $6.5 billion and produces just over 130,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, almost half of that in this province. Both the market capitalization and production numbers have doubled in the last four years. Whitecap is now one of the largest producers in Saskatchewan and in the Canadian energy sector.

Whitecap, through its counter-cyclical foresight, has enjoyed success in spite of the downturn in the industry that lasted seven years.

“We have maintained a cautious level of debt which has served us well as when the downturn hit, we had the resources to pursue consolidation opportunities. You have to enjoy the thrill of the hunt in this game while ensuring strong returns to shareholders,” Grant commented.

Whitecap has been successful in that hunt. The company purchased the operating control of the Weyburn Unit from Cenovus. That has led to Whitecap becoming a net-zero oil producer, storing more CO2 than its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

Since the start of 2020 the company purchased NAL Resources Limited, TORC Oil & Gas Ltd., Kicking Horse Oil & Gas Ltd., Highrock Resources Ltd., and TimberRock Energy Corp., as well as certain assets in the Kindersley and central Alberta areas.

Grant has been an outspoken advocate for the oil industry as well as energy transformation including greenhouse gas reduction initiatives, with his company putting its money where its mouth is.

The fall of 2021 saw Whitecap announce it was working with Federated Co-operatives Limited to develop the next major carbon dioxide initiative in this province – a carbon capture hub. When it goes ahead, CO2 will soon be captured at the FCL refinery and ethanol plant; as well, plans are underway for CO2 capture from several other large industrial emitters in the area. This captured CO2 will be pipelined to the Weyburn Unit for enhanced oil recovery or into a saline aquifer for long-term storage. This could ultimately result in a larger hydrogen hub in the province in the not-too-distant future.

Flames-Oilers a great sports rivalry

BY BRUCE PENTON Sports Columnist

For a sports fan, there’s nothing quite like a great rivalry. For a hockey fan, that’s defined by the Battle of Alberta.

For the first time since 1991, a National Hockey League playoff series involved the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers. The last two weeks of May featured the two Alberta rivals, and it not only provided an intense on-ice event, but an equally intense off-ice showdown. Case in point: a bar in Red Deer, located within one kilometre of precisely half-way between the province’s two major cities, has a dividing line smack dab in the middle of the establishment — Flames’ fans on one side, Oilers’ on the other. Sharpen the tongue but leave the hardware at home.

Alberta’s hockey fans, non-hockey fans, people of all ages and all stripes have an opinion about the Battle of Alberta. There are always bragging rights at stake, and politics even enters the fray, because the governing UCP has its strength in Calgary, while the opposition NDP is strongest in Edmonton.

The vast majority of fans simply enjoyed the friendly back-and-forth, although some obviously took it more seriously than others. On the world stage, the Battle of Alberta hardly registers as a well-known sports rivalry, but in Canada, it’s by far the biggest. Football might have its Blue Bombers-Roughriders battles, or its Argos-Ti-Cats confrontations, but nothing compares with Oilers-Flames. Globally, however, Yankees-Red Sox ranks up there, as does the Federer-Nadal battles on the tennis court. The best baseball hatred, however, might be between the Dodgers and Giants, both of which were born in suburban New York before moving to the West Coast in the late 1950s.

What are your favourite sports rivalries? How about Ali-Frazier? Those of a certain age will remember that one. Followers of Premier League soccer in the UK will say there’s nothing more intense in the world of sports than Manchester United and Manchester City. On a smaller scale, Pats vs. Warriors in southern Saskatchewan certainly gets fans’ blood boiling. Tiger-Phil was pretty good on the PGA Tour, a full genera-

tion after Arnie-Jack. If you need full names on those golf references, you’re not a true sports fan.

Winning is all that matters to the competitors in these rivalries, but for fans, the buildup and the trash talking is what elevates these battles from the mundane to the can’t-miss.

APAS accepting applications for YLMP program presented by Farm Credit Canada

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) is now accepting new applicants for the Youth Leadership and Mentorship Program (YLMP) presented by Farm Credit Canada (FCC).

“Having been a mentee in this program, I can say with confidence this program is a great benefit to young producers in Saskatchewan,” APAS President Ian Boxall said. “The experience these young producers will be able to take part in will stay with them for the rest of their lives.”

APAS is also glad to have FCC as a sponsor for YLMP for another year.

“We share APAS’s passion for making Canadian agriculture better and recognize the importance of mentoring young producers,” Senior Vice-President of Prairie Operations for FCC Shannon Weatherall said. “Helping each other succeed through networking and mentoring is an integral part of our corporate culture and the way we do business, which makes supporting this program a natural fit.”

YLMP is open for young producers between the ages of 18 and 40. Events the mentees will get to experience include a day at the Saskatchewan Legislature, the APAS General Meeting in the fall, and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture’s Annual General Meeting in Ottawa in February 2023.

The deadline to apply for YLMP is July 31, 2022.

For those interested in applying, the YLMP program application can be found here:202223 APAS Youth Leadership and Mentorship Program Application

How to improve flea beetle management

BY KEITH GABERT

Flea beetles can do a lot of damage in a short time. To avoid beetle shock, growers and agronomists across the Prairies will want to scout as soon as seedlings emerge, and check often – especially in crops advancing slowly.

Seed treatments usually provide effective protection as long as canola reaches the three- to fourleaf stage in three to four weeks. Slow-growing crops under intense flea beetle pressure will likely require foliar insecticide. In 2021, dry conditions were ideal for flea beetles (especially warm and dry). Unfortunately, these conditions also slowed the crop – leaving small canola plants vulnerable for longer. The 2021 experience will have many canola growers on high alert for 2022.

The spray, or action, threshold for flea beetles is when average leaf area loss exceeds 25 per cent across the field. With a slow-growing crop and plant stands below five to eight plants per square foot, a lower action threshold may be appropriate.

To assess leaf area loss, scout for damage in a few spots in each field, checking 10 plants in each spot. Flea beetles tend to prefer fresh new leaves. If cotyledons are chewed up but newest leaves show very little feeding, then plants may be outgrowing the threat or seed treatments may be having an effect (or both). If the first true leaves are not present, flea beetles may be nipping them off at the growing point. Also check for stem damage, especially in cool or windy weather. Plants with extensive stem feeding could be assessed at 100 per cent leaf area loss.

Scout daily in areas approaching the action threshold. With a day or two of warm, dry conditions, damage can escalate well beyond the threshold.

Spraying is likely required if flea beetle damage exceeds the threshold, flea beetles are still feeding and the crop has not reached the four-leaf stage.

Tips to improve spray results

Use pesticides registered for flea beetles in canola. Refer to product labels for proper use instructions. Consider the weather. Insecticide will be effective on cooler days

as long as the flea beetles are active. Malathion is the only product that requires a minimum temperature of 18-20°C. Other product labels say to apply when flea beetles are active, but to avoid the warmest parts of the day. Some pyrethroid labels (Decis, for example) say they should not be applied when temperatures are above 25°C. However, if conditions are cool AND wet, don’t bother spraying anything. Flea beetles don’t like rain, and will take cover in the soil and leaf litter. Product labels also say not to spray if rain is likely within one hour. Use nozzles that provide good coverage. Low-drift nozzles are well-suited for weed control but not flea beetle control. A dedicated sprayer pass with nozzles that pro-

duce smaller droplets will provide the coverage needed for improved flea beetle results.

For more on flea beetle lifecycles and management, please see the flea beetles chapter at CanolaEncyclopedia.ca.

Independent Grain and Special Crops Market Analysis

“News Follows Price”

“Prices lead fundamentals.”

“Prices lead, fundamentals follow.”

Perhaps you have heard these terms before. It can be a difficult concept to understand. It requires an understanding of Technical Analysis.

It took an observation of thousands, then millions of charts.

I believe it now.

“Prices lead, fundamentals follow.” This concept is understood by some of the greatest investors of all time.

Paul Tudor Jones II, the founder of Tudor Investment Corporation, said in Jack D. Schwager’s Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders (1989):

“I always believe that prices move first and fundamentals come second.”

Jones believes that the price looks to the future and anticipates the fundamentals soon to follow.

On May 11, I published my Bullish sentiment anticipating a move higher based on the Kansas City and Chicago wheat charts in the Klarenbach Grain Report.

On May 14, India announced a ban on exports.

Wheat experienced a 14% move five days following the May 11 publication.

On May 27th, readers of the Klarenbach Grain Report were alerted to Soybeans attempting to breakout to 10-year highs.

What will the news be if this breakout attempt is successful?

What will this mean for Canola?

I am fascinated with this concept.

I think you will be too.
