Kindersley Wheatland Regional Library welcomed more than 50 children, along with their teddy bears and their families, to a Teddy Bear Picnic, on June 25, in front of the library. It was part of the library’s kickoff to summer events at the library, and there was a wide assortment of crafts and activities available for the kids to enjoy. Everything from decorating bags, making bookmarks, sidewalk chalk, a bubble station, and Pin the Button on Corduroy. The craft supplies were provided by the library, with help from the community initiative fund. Michelle Yates from the Kindersley library said, “We are very thankful for our many volunteers and staff who put in many hours of preparation ahead of time, as well as during the event.”

Excitement continues at the Kerrobert Courthouse!

The excitement continues here at the courthouse!
Since the opening of Time Capsule last week, professional conservators were contacted and have informed the Kerrobert Courthouse Restoration Society on how to proceed with the artifacts. On Wednesday, June 29th, Veronica Smith and I began the process of unfolding and taking apart each of the individual papers. The results were even better than we could have imagined!
Unfolding each piece of paper took an entire day’s worth of work. We began with the program from the Kerrobert Bar Association’s banquet. The inside revealed a leg-
ible description of the program, including the songs played as well as some of those who were attending.
Next was the piece of paper that hadn’t been identified yet. We carefully rolled back each fold to reveal a list of names of judges, barristers, and court officials in the Kerrobert area in 1920. Included was my great-great grandmother’s name, Christy McCulloch, who was a Deputy Registrar.
After this, we moved on to the stack of newspapers, a very daunting task judging by its size. We first removed the top booklet to find an envelope of coins sitting underneath. The envelope revealed five pennies, two quarters, two dimes, and a five-cent coin which was even smaller than the dime.
LAWNS & YARDS
When lawns grow in excess of 7” in height, this is a violation of the Nuisance Bylaw 2021-01 (8).
The Bylaw Officer monitors yards for grass and weeds along with untidy and unsightly property. If a yard is inviolation of this bylaw and isn’t improved after a warning, the Town will clean it up at the owners’ expense.
Our Google search showed us that in Canada, the five-cent coin was only made from nickel starting in 1922. After the coins, we were able to peel back the stamp, which was stuck to the newspaper, revealing a depiction of King George V on the green background of the one-cent stamp.
Following this, we began work on the booklets, which were laid on top of the newspapers. One of the booklets was a prize list from the Luseland Agricultural Society’s Ninth Annual Exhibition. What appeared to be a “Chautauqua” program was stuck to the top of the other booklet. This made the paper very fragile, and we decided not to continue attempting to separate them. From the back of the booklet, we were able to see that it was another prize list, this time from Kerrobert’s Agricultural Society. Inside each of the prize list booklets were various advertisements for each of the town’s businesses, as well as the cash prizes for the winners of each event.
After these booklets, we made our way to the newspapers. The top newspaper was a Kerrobert Citizen issue from July 8th, 1920, filled with many interesting stories from the area. We did not have time to unfold the other two newspapers, although they appeared to be the Saskatoon Star and the Regina Leader.
Finally, we started working on the Wilson & Wilson envelope. We began by peeling back the small piece of paper that was attached to the front of it. It is believed that this paper once held a list of town officials; however, most of the handwriting was completely illegible. As we were working on opening the envelope, we received news from the Star Phoenix that an article about the laying of the cornerstone had been found in their archives from 1920. The article explained the event itself, as well as a list of what was put into the time capsule. Everything on the list could be accounted for in the box, however, the Wilson & Wilson envelope was not listed at all, indicating that it was placed in at the last minute, likely that day. Inside this envelope, we
found a handwritten letter detailing events during the building of the courthouse, such as the date the sod was broken and the day the first brick was laid. We also found a blank cheque from the Union Bank of Canada, a very faint picture of what appears to be the frame of the courthouse as it was being built, and a fragment of a piece of paper from Wilson & Wilson, although we have not been able to locate the matching piece which would fit with this fragment.
The outcome of our day was incredible. The time capsule has generated excitement in our community, around our province, and beyond. We have already had a significant increase in tourists and locals stopping by to see the message from our past. Even if none of the artifacts
would have survived the 102-year wait, the laying of this time capsule would have still sent a message. It tells us that they were hoping and planning for our future, just as we should be today. I hope this event has inspired others to take pride in their community and continue the hard work of those who came before us.

CF Meridian in Kindersley joined Grade 5 students from Elizabeth Middle School on Thursday, June 23, for an exciting entrepreneurship fair! Family, staff, friends and students were busy checking out all the vendors and purchasing their products. The atmosphere was alive with excitement!
In preparation for this grand event, teachers Ms. Teagan Belitski and Ms. Kirsten Elder had been busy introducing a new youth entrepreneurship class called Power Play to their students. “From day one of explaining this project, my students have been so intrigued, curious, and engaged!” Ms. Elder said. “Their product is all they can talk about! At first, they had some trouble deciding which product they would create, but now I can’t slow them down. I think they surprised themselves by how creative they are.”
Their creativity was visible for all to see in the wide variety of products displayed at the entrepreneurship fair. Products included hydro-dipped baseballs, sportthemed picture frames, hockey lace bracelets and keychains, hand painted upcycled DVDs/CDs, bath salts, bath bombs, Pride pens and pins, lip gloss, all-occasion cards, paintings, slime, paper clip bracelets, tie-dye clothing, animal ear headbands, scented candles, dog treats plus more! It was an impressive display of products.
CF Meridian Region assisted with some funding to help offset the costs of supplies to develop individual products featured and sold at Elizabeth School on the morning of June 23. Vickie Newmeyer, CEO of CF Meridian Region, provided
Pam Lyons awarded Zone C Kinette of the Year
BY JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group
Pam Lyons of Kindersley recently won a well-deserved Zone C Kinette of the Year award for 20212022. Her fellow Kinsmen and Kinettes describe her participation in the club as jumping in with both feet.
Pam was one of the club’s founding members, never missing an opportunity to become involved. She is currently the Deputy Governor for Zone C and loves meeting fellow Kinsmen and Kinette members throughout Saskatchewan.
This year has been filled with many firsts for Pam, including her first year on the District team, her first Districts and Governor’s Ball, and her first in-person Telemiracle. It was there, in Regina, that she was able to announce that
Kindersley Kinettes had raised over $15,000 for Telemiracle!
On social media, Pam said she’s learned a great deal, met some fabulous people and continues to be pulled out of her comfort zone. Congratulations, Pam, on your well-deserved award.
an overview of the program and its integration with the curriculum.
Power Play is designed to help students develop an entrepreneurial mindset and has been successfully running in Canada for over 20 years. Students learn about setting goals for a successful business, market research and how to write a creative product description. They also learn about the financial aspect of business, including loans, budgeting, calculating costs, and making a business plan.
According to Ms. Newmeyer, educators have been very pleased with the strong connections to the curriculum and the engagement level of all types of student learners. The program is easy to implement with the help of a teacher manual, student workbooks and parent information packages. Student-focused videos and teacher tutorials are available for online support. Approximately two hours of class time are required each week, and the program typically runs over six weeks. Educators appreciate that the program makes it easy to create personalized learning experiences, enabling students from grades 4-8 to have fun exploring the world of business.
After all their hard work, Kindersley’s Grade 5 students enjoyed showcasing their achievements and earning money at the “Young Entrepreneur Show” at their school. But they also learned about social responsibility by donating a portion of their profits to charity. According to Ms. Elder, these students are a generous bunch; most of the students have decided to give between 50 and 100 percent of their proceeds to the Kindersley Crisis Centre.

Lady Astor said to Winston Churchill, “If you were my husband, I’d poison your tea.” To which he responded, “Madam, if you were my wife, I’d drink it!”
I’m not sure if Churchill actually said those words, but I’ve always wondered if politicians possess a sense of humour. By the way, its definition is: “a person’s ability to perceive hu mour”.
During a recent inter view, Justin Trudeau de scribed Canadians as being funny in a self-deprecating way, and praised Canadi an-born Ryan Reynolds for having a “brilliant sense of humour”. The host re sponded, noting if you look like Ryan Reynolds you can say pretty much anything and people will think it’s hilarious. To which, the PM responded, “That is an ad vantage.” Perhaps Trudeau intends his advantage will be to use Bill C-11 to censor humour.
But meanwhile, Canadian jazz pianist, John Stetch, has expressed his personal version of humour by putting out short clips impersonating Trudeau. Not only does he nail Trudeau’s mannerisms and voice, but his clips are well written. In the clip entitled ‘Trudeau Does Laundry”, Stetch mimicked the PM
son for writing the book, saying, “With everything that’s gone on over the last two and a half years it was really important to find a way to laugh.

Pop89 The Passion-for-Animals Gene
BY MADONNA HAMEL Your Southwest Media Group
Ilook out my living room window at a field. Some days the field is full of cattle, and in the spring, calves skip and scurry back and forth like puppies. Recently the field’s been graced by horses. “Graced” is the only word for it. Unlike humans, horses never seem to strike a bad pose. Even their rear ends look elegant with those muscular haunches and swishing tail. It’s no accident we refer to long hair pulled back as a pony tail. And whenever I see a woman toss her hair, in laughter or conversation, often in flirtation, I think how much like a horse she is, tossing her mane. I am reminded that we, like horses and cattle, are herd animals too.
And then there’s those muscular cheeks and jawlines beneath those big soulful eyes. In art school, we were encouraged to draw from life. I did my best to find critters, mostly birds and dogs. But when I drove away from the city and home for the holidays, I would pull over once I got to ranch country, sometimes in Merritt, always in Naramata, to draw horses. Their lean legs and barrel chests stirred in me a kind of infatuation, a respect for natural beauty.
In an essay called “Creature Comfort,” Marie-Lynn Hammond writes about how a horse saved her from falling into a deep depression. She writes: “I want humans to remember we are animals too and ought to stop fouling our nest. Because maybe you don’t need a guru, a therapist or a million bucks, maybe all you need is a cat.” Or a horse. Or a ride on a horse.
Yesterday I went horse-riding with sister Michele and my pal Avril in the hills just north of the dam on the West Flat. I have not ridden since I was eight and got bucked. I wasn’t hurt, but I was frightened. And I remember feeling sad that the horse did not like me, or could not feel my awe and respect. Instead, I assumed, he felt my fear and would have nothing to do with me.
Later, when my family
moved to the Okanagan, my grandfather, out of the blue, called my mom and said: “Aurore, you have to come out here and see this horse. You need to buy it for the girls.”
My mom rode horses as a child around Val Marie but hadn’t ridden one in years. My sisters - Mich and Jody, definitely inherited the passion-for-horses gene. And my grandfather was known in Fox Valley as a horse whisperer; it says so on his gravestone.
Mom took me and Jody with her to check out the horse, a feisty palomino. I remember being, once more, in awe. My grandfather was holding the reins, and as mom and Jody approached it, it reared up. “He’s beautiful, Ed. But where would we put him,” she said. I stood back, frightened by its power and feeling sad, once again, that I was afraid when I wanted, more than anything, to bond with a creature so powerful, so beautiful, so untamed. I leaned against the Rebel Rambler, the car I would inherit in two years. Cars, it turned out, became my horses. Cars and bicycles were my getaway vehicles, my chance to fly and flee. Still, I wanted to get back on a horse. I knew I had a chance to do so when I ran into Carmen one day taking a group out on a ride. Carmen, the woman whose horses graze in the field outside my window, Carmen the chillest person I know, would be just the person to get me back on a horse. And what better time than now, when Mich visiting and Avril back in town. Both of them have been making noises about getting out for a ride. I’ll call Carmen, and she’ll en-
courage me to ride, too.
We arrived as the sun was making a slow decline. We were joined by Carmen’s eighteenyear-old son Arliss - brown as a berry after ten hours in the community pasture checking on 3,300 head of cattle, white hat and teeth glowing. “Did Central Casting send you?” joked Avril, who works in the movie business. There was no one else, just the horses and us humans and the sublime landscape of a native prairie that has not changed its look or shape or content - and I suspect its feel - in thousands of years.
And I am in heaven, with only an occasional jolt of fear when CeCe, my chestnut mare (perfect, I think, recalling my days as a blues singer when CeCe Rider was one of our covers) plunges into a ditch or a draw, then boots it back up the other side. Carmen and Arliss, a couple of vocational cowboys, give occasional hints to make the ride easier for both horse and rider, but other than that, there’s no alarm bells, no raised voices or eyebrows. So, I conclude that I must be doing ok.
At the beginning of her essay, Hammond ponders if maybe scientists will soon discover a “passion for animals” gene. At one point in her life, she seriously considered suicide but buys a horse, instead. “Financially, I’m broke,” she writes, “but I’m no longer wishing I were dead, and my doctor agrees he can now stop pushing Prozac.”
Near the end of our twohour ride, I feel a sob rising up from the eight-year-old in me. I hear her little voice say, “Wow, I can do this! I didn’t think I could!” My heart goes out to kids “triggered” by something as unchallenging as a mom telling them to clean their rooms. How will they ever know what they are capable of? How will they ever connect with their own animal bodies or the sensual world of other creatures? How will they discover their passion-for-animals gene? I want to say: Call me. I have a couple of cowboys you need to meet.
Highway #7 fatality
On June 28, 2022 at approximately 8 a.m., Rosetown RCMP received a report of a collision on Highway #7 at the intersection with Marshall Avenue, approximately 1 kilometre east of Rosetown.
Investigation has determined that a car and a semi collided in the intersection. The driver of the car, a 21-year-old female from the Rosetown area, was declared deceased by EMS at the scene. Her family has been notified. The driver of the semi did not report any injuries. Neither vehicle had passengers.
Highway #7 was closed during initial investigation but has since re-opened.
Rosetown RCMP continue to investigate with the assistance of a Saskatchewan RCMP Collision Reconstructionist.
Suspects arrested
On June 21, 2022 at approximately 5:10 a.m., Kindersley RCMP received a report of an alarm at a business in Kindersley. Investigation determined the business was broken into and a number of electronics were stolen.
Later on June 21, two individuals were arrested in Luseland in relation to a separate investigation into vehicles reported stolen from a dealership in Rosetown.
Kindersley RCMP officers located and seized a number of electronics, license plates and tools from the stolen vehicles the individuals were in. Two firearms reported as stolen in Alberta in May, ammunition, and a quantity of methamphetamine and GHB were also located and seized.
Investigation determined some of the electronics were the ones reported stolen in the earlier break-in.
As a result, Lee Falsetta, 36, and Samantha Riggins, 34, both of Red Deer have several charges against them, including:
• 1 count, break and enter, Section 348(1)(b), Criminal Code
• 2 counts, unauthorized possession of a firearm, Section 91(3), Criminal Code
Falsetta has also been charged with two counts of fail to comply with probation order, Section 733.1(1), Criminal Code
Riggins has also been charged with an additional count of fail to comply with release order condition, Section 145(5)(a), Criminal Code
On June 21, we were one of several Saskatchewan RCMP detachments that assisted in a stolen vehicle investigation that stretched across Saskatchewan and into Alberta,” says Kindersley RCMP Cpl. Amy Forbes.
“It turned out, through investigation by our officers, there was a connection to a local breakin. Two have been charged and we were able to recover property stolen from a local business. We’re also working to return some of the other recovered items to their rightful owners, too. Are you missing power tools or hand tools inscribed with initials, or a socket set? If so, please call the Kindersley RCMP at 306-463-4642.

Grand Opening of the Sandhills Credit Union Marketplace in Leader
BY MALLORY CAWTHRA
On Friday, June 24th, the Town of Leader celebrated the much-anticipated Grand Opening of the Sandhills Credit Union Marketplace. The successful implementation of the Marketplace is the culmination of numerous individuals and businesses in the Leader community coming together to see the project to completion. The opening ceremonies got underway at 6:30 p.m., with speeches from Becky Ellis, Manager of the Sandhills Credit Union and President of the Leader and District Chamber of Commerce, Christine Broderick, Secretary and Member of the Board of the Leader and District Chamber of Commerce, and Mayor Aaron Wenzel. Following the speeches, the Sandhills Credit Union presented a $10,000 sponsorship cheque to the Leader and Dis-
trict Chamber of Commerce for naming rights for the marketplace for the next ten years. The ribbon cutting ceremony was then performed by Lee Elsasser, Chamber Development Officer, with the assistance of Becky Ellis. The weather was a little brisk that evening, so it was encouraging that approximately 150 people attended the event. Alan Hudec serenaded the attendees with musical entertainment, as everyone visited and enjoyed various food vendors and complimentary refreshments (pop, water) donated by Sandhills Insurance. Some of the vendors included the Leader Liquor Mart, The Big 10-4, Dry Land Butchering, the Estuary Colony and Shy’s Food Stand. There was everything from spicy tacos and Bannock burgers, to iced coffee and cinnamon buns available for cash purchase. Lee Elsasser explained that, “The whole
reason behind the Leader and District Chamber of Commerce developing this project was to help not only our larger businesses, but also the smaller businesses and to give people opportunities to test the waters on future business ventures, by having the ability to try out pop-up shops.”
There will be upcoming markets every Thursday starting on June 30th, with the occasional Saturday added in until August 27th. The Chamber’s plan is to have rotational vendors each week. Additionally, there will be two “Young Entrepreneur” Markets on July 11th and 26th to encourage youth aged 18 years and under to get creative and try their hand at a business venture. If anyone is interested in more information on booking dates for the booths, they can contact Lee Elsasser at 306-6287887.

Kindergarten kids visit Rosanna Farms
BY JOAN JANZEN Your Southwest Media Group
Grassfed and grainfed are terms used to describe the feeding program for grazing animals like cattle. Here’s an overview of what these terms mean for the beef you’re eating.
GRAIN-FED
Kindergarten students from Westberry School enjoyed a fun field trip on Thursday and Friday, June 9th and 10th. Miss. Robertson and Mrs. Dimitroff brought their students to Rosanna Farms, located south of Kindersley, home of Robin and Brenda Walde.
While most cattle are raised eating grass, many farmers “finish” their cows on feed mixtures made from grains and corn. This process fattens the cattle up faster and gets them to market sooner.
Grain-fed vs grass-fed beef
SaskAg Weekly Crop Report
How to
manage animal waste
While there’s nothing harmful about grain finishing, it does change the composition and flavour of the meat. For example, grainfed beef is heavily marbled and has a buttery, slightly sweet taste. Most people describe it as meltinyourmouth tender.
GRASS-FED
Devin Walde, Payton Walde, Brennon Ness and Colt Beswitherick hosted groups of students at different farm stations. The children learned all about seeding, harvest and bin storage. They also spent time inside the shed where they learned about seed, fertilizer and chemical.
Grassfed beef comes from cattle that spend their entire lives eating grass. Typically, they graze on pastureland in the spring and summer, then eat hay in the fall and winter. Raising beef this way takes a lot of time, as grassfed animals take six to 12 months longer to reach market weight than grainfed animals. This extra time makes it more expensive for the rancher and the consumer.
Though there was general precipitation across the province this past week, additional rainfall is still needed in many areas. Some regions experienced flooding and drownedout crops due to receiving extremely high volumes of rain in a short period of time; producers in these areas hope this water will soak in quickly and the effect on crops will be minimal. In the west, where conditions remain very dry, the rainfall was welcome for crop land and pastures, although the rain did delay the start to haying season for some producers.
Animal waste contains many useful and recyclable components. However, if incorrectly stored, it can negatively impact soil, water and air quality. Here are a couple of the most common animal waste management strategies.
DRY STACKING

in the west; more is needed, however, to ensure adequate crop growth throughout the hot summer months of July and August. The Spiritwood area received 86 mm, the Broadview area 76 mm, the Lipton area 70 mm, the Kerrobert area 31 mm and the Cabri area 23 mm. Many areas in the southwest only received one to five mm and the crops in those areas are beginning to show signs of severe drought stress.
COMPOSTING
had adequate moisture early in the season to allow for recovery and growth. Hay quality is currently rated as 20 per cent excellent, 52 per cent good, 26 per cent fair and two per cent poor.

Dry stacking animal waste involves piling solid manure and soiled livestock bedding in a covered storage bin with a concrete bottom. Farmers must ensure the pile is compacted, covered and sealed to prevent manure nutrients from leaching into the soil. Drystacked manure can be treated with additives such as lime to help reduce unpleasant smells and deter pests.
Composting manure involves turning over a pile of animal waste several times until it breaks down into a stable organic form. Composted manure is dense in nutrients and free of parasites and weed seeds. Many farmers use composted manure on field crops to improve the soil’s waterholding capacity and significantly reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.

Farms can also hire a certified manure hauler to come and remove animal waste from their property. Haulers either take the manure to a centralized composting facility or spread it on farmland.
Grassfed beef is leaner and darker in colour than grainfed beef and has a slightly gamey taste. It is somewhat higher in nutrients like beta carotene and vitamin E. It also has more omega3 fatty acids.
TAX TIPS
Despite variations in cost and taste, both grain and grassfed beef are excellent sources of protein, B vitamins, iron and zinc.
Crop development has been slow due to early season drought conditions in the west and excess moisture in the east. Producers are hoping for improved conditions throughout July to ensure their crops develop properly. The majority of crops in the province are in fair to good condition. Provincially, 76 per cent of fall cereals, 58 per cent of spring cereals, 46 per cent of oilseed crops and 69 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year.
Topsoil moisture ratings dropped slightly this week despite many areas getting rain. Crop land topsoil moisture is rated as nine per cent surplus, 67 per cent adequate, 20 per cent short and four per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as eight per cent surplus, 66 per cent adequate, 19 per cent short and seven per cent very short.
Americanized versions of our articles are included in the online page folder when necessary. Documents are identified as follows: TITLE_US.doc.
Haying operations are just starting in the province. Growth in the west was delayed early in the season due to drought; the hay crop in many areas has also not reached an acceptable height that will allow for cutting.
The majority of crop damage this past week was from heat, drying winds, drought, insects, gophers, flooding and hail. Gophers have become a serious problem in many rural municipalities across the province, with some producers stating that they have lost large portions of their fields. While the rain was a welcome sight to many this past week, it also brought flooding and hail which have left crops either drowned out or damaged.
Producers are busy trying to control disease in their fields by spraying their first round of fungicide on crops such as lentils and spring wheat. They are also continuing with herbicide and insecticide applications on competing weeds and insects in their crops. Livestock producers have started to get their haying equipment ready and should be in full swing soon.
Natural service vs artificial insemination
Natural service (NS) and artificial insemination (AI) are the two most popular breeding programs used by cattle breeders and producers worldwide. Here’s an overview of these methods.
Wage loss replacement benefits are completely tax-free if you paid all the premiums of the plan. They are taxable if your employer paid all the premiums. If both you and your employer contributed to the premiums, you can reduce the taxable portion of the benfits by the premiums you paid.
• Artificial insemination is reproduction achieved by human intervention. It involves collecting sperm cells from a bull and manually depositing them directly into a cow’s reproductive tract.
Rainfall continues to be highly concentrated in the east but there was some good precipitation received this week
Rain delayed hay cutting in the east, although the crops in the region appear to be in much better shape since they
• Natural service is used by most cattle breeders and producers. It’s the natural breeding method where the cow and bull are allowed to mate without technological intervention. In other words, the bull and cow mate as they naturally show heat.

The global demand for fish is steadily increasing. Consequently, fish farming has become a massive industry around the world. Here are eight interesting facts about fish farms.
1. Over half of the fish consumed worldwide come from fish farms.
2. China is the largest producer of farmed seafood and produces over 60 million tonnes of farmed fish every year.
The Rural Municipality of of Happyland recently received a grant from SGI’s Provincial Safety Fund, in the amount of $7,988 for their speed reduction project. Kim Lacelle, CAO, said, “The grant will be used to put up reduced speed signs on our grid roads for big trucks 8 ton and over. This is a safety issue we are wanting to address.”
5. Another word for fish farming is aquaculture. The word aquaculture combines the Latin words aqua and cultura, meaning water and agriculture.
6. Farmed fish often has a milder flavour than wildcaught fish.
7. There are three main fish farming systems: completely closed, flowthrough and open systems.
“The Provincial Traffic Safety Fund Grant program continues to fund safety improvements intended to reduce traffic collisions, injuries and fatalities in our province,” said Don Morgan, Minister Responsible for SGI. Applications are reviewed by a committee made up of representatives from the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, the Prince Albert Grand Council, the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Highways and SGI.
3. The most farmed species are carp, catfish, salmon and tilapia.
4. The earliest evidence of fish farming dates to ancient China, Egypt and Rome. However, the modern form of fish farming was introduced in Germany in 1733.
When done correctly, fish farming is a highly ecofriendly and sustainable way to raise fish. It helps create healthier habitats and rebuild stocks of threatened and en-
Eighty communities received funds for traffic and pedestrian safety initiatives from The Provincial Traffic Safety Fund, equaling a total of $1.34 million. These grants are awarded to communities twice a year, using proceeds from Photo Speed Enforcement (PSE).

Whenyou’re being compared to Bobby Orr, you know you’re special. When Paul Coffey is used as a comparable player, maybe, just maybe, you’re pretty good.
Cale Makar — you’re pretty good.
The 23-year-old whiz from Calgary, who had an unconventional route to the National Hockey League, is on top of the sporting world today after leading the Colorado Avalanche to the Stanley Cup, beating Tampa Bay 4-2 to deny the Lightning three-straight Cups. That he was voted the winner of the Conn Smythe trophy as the playoffs’ most valuable player was about as surprising as …. well, about as surprising as him being voted the winner of the Norris Trophy as the league’s best defenceman.
A neophyte hockey fan would have no trouble recognizing Makar as one of the best players on the ice. His skating speed and ability to handle the puck at high speed is McDavid-like. He’s a near blur when he winds up his own end, Orr-like, and TSN’s archives could easily put together a top-
10 list of memorable Makar moves. He anchors the Avalanche powerplay and it’s almost unfair for opposing teams to have to try to defend Makar and equally sensational forward Nathan McKinnon at the same time. When the Avalanche chose Makar fourth in the first round of the 2017 draft, a few eyebrows were raised because Makar had spent his junior days playing for Brooks Bandits of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. A standard route for a star player usually goes through the Canadian Hockey League, but Makar wanted to maintain his eligibility for a U.S. college team, so he stayed in the secondary AJHL. After two years with Brooks, Makar went to the University of Massachusetts for two years, winning the prestigious Hobey Baker award as the top college player in Year 2. He joined the Avalanche in the post-season in 2019 and was an immediate hit, racking up six points in 10 games. His ascent since has been spectacular — averaging more than a point a game in his career, including 86 in 77 games this season.
“I don’t think I’ve seen a focus in a younger player like him in my whole career,” said his veteran team-mate, Andrew Cogliano. “ . . . How he approaches the game, how he prepares.”
Voting results for the Conn Smnythe weren’t disclosed, but it must have been close to unanimous. Makar led all defensemen in post-season points with 29, and was third overall behind Edmonton’s Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
Makar may have to add a room to his house to handle all the silverware he’s bound to win before his career comes to a close. He already has a Calder trophy for rookie-of-the-year, a Norris trophy, a Conn Smythe and a Stanley Cup. And probably much more to come.

Independent Grain and Special Crops Market Analysis
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the four stages of the market structure.
I wrote:
The most effective method is to follow the trend by identifying and understanding the four stages of market structure.
You see, the market structure has four stages:
Stage 1: Accumulation
Stage 2: Markup
Stage 3: Distribution
Stage 4: Decline
You can find this market structure in all asset classes and timeframes.
How can I determine the market cycle stage?
I get that question a lot.
To answer that question, we must know our timeframe.
You see, the market cycle occurs in all timeframes.
The longer timeframe consists of many shorter-term market cycles.
Multiple market cycles arise within each of the four stages.
Moving averages are effective at determining the trend and the market cycle stage.
When they are advancing, then we are in the Markup Stage.
The indecision of the Accumu-
lation and Distribution Stages is shown by the moving averages crossing over one another.
Declining and aligned moving averages mark the Decline Stage.
Perhaps, the most effective method is an assessment of your feelings.
In a rising market, Long position holders may initially feel Disbelief that the price is rising.
That feeling will shift to Hope and then Optimism.
Following new highs after a pullback, we begin to believe that this rally will last. The market advance continues, and Thrill sets in with the prospects of getting rich.
The market continues higher, and we feel Euphoria, during which we marvel at our business acumen and the wealth generated.
The price begins to correct.
We have become Complacent with the recent highs. We consider this a “healthy” correction required to move the market higher. It will come back. We decide not to sell until the price returns to the high.
The price moves lower after leaving the Distribution Stage. We begin to experience Anxiety. I missed the highs and gave back my gains. What should I do?
As the Decline Stage progresses, we begin to feel Denial. The market is stupid. Don’t they know that production is down? We look for reasons to support our beliefs.
The price moves lower. We begin to Panic. Maybe I should sell. Let’s give it one more week.
The price drops some more.
We become Angry. Angry at ourselves. Angry at others. We search for reasons to validate our inaction.
We reach our Max Pain Threshold.
We capitulate.
We sell. This is when the market bottoms.
The market moves into the Accumulation Stage
The price rises. We feel Disbelief. The market cycle repeats. Do you have any Long positions? Can you identify the Market Cycle Stage?
How are you feeling?

SaskPower chooses General Electric-Hitachi design for first potential small modular nuclear reactors
It might take a decade or so to get the first one online, but SaskPower has chosen the reactor design for its first nuclear reactor ever. The announcement was made on June 27.
Following a thorough assessment of several Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technologies, SaskPower has selected the GE-Hitachi BWRX300 for potential deployment in Saskatchewan in the mid2030s.
“This is an important milestone as Saskatchewan works towards a cleaner, more sustainable future,” said Don Morgan, Minister responsible for SaskPower. “Today’s announcement further acts on the Saskatchewan Growth Plan goal of advancing potential development of zero-emission small modular reactor technology.”
The “300” in the name denotes 300 megawatts in electrical power production capacity. This is roughly the same size as SaskPower’s Poplar River Units 1 and 1, Boundary Dam Unit 6, and Shand Power Station. As the province is considering building four of these SMR, that would be a roughly one-to-one replacement for the largest coal generators in Saskatchewan.
As far as small nuclear reactors go, General Electric has probably more experience than any other company on the planet, building reactors to power the United States Navy submarine fleet since the 1950s. The second nuclear submarine ever built, the USS Seawolf, was powered by a General Electric reactor. Nearly all US Navy submarines built since the 1970s have had GE reactors, without any critical incident occurring during that time.
According to Hitachi, the footprint of a BWRX-300 would sit inside of a CFL football field.
“Using a combination of modular and open-top construction techniques, the BWRX-300 can be constructed in 24-36 months while achiev-
ing an approximate 90 percent volume reduction in plant layout. In addition, reducing the building volume by about 50 percent per MW should also account for 50 percent less concrete per MW,” says the GE website.
“As a “smart reactor” the BWRX-300 uses natural circulation and passive cooling isolation condenser systems to promote simple and safe operating rhythms. In the global race for advanced nuclear power, the BWRX-300 sets itself apart with its proven, less complicated processes.”
SaskPower said its assessment focused on several key factors including safety, technology readiness, generation size, fuel type and expected cost of electricity. The selection follows an independent and comprehensive assessment process that also included close collaboration with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and a review by Calian, an independent engineering firm with extensive experience in Canada’s nuclear industry.
“GEH has been selected by Ontario Power Generation (OPG) as the technology partner for the Darlington New Nuclear Project. GEH will work with OPG to deploy a BWRX300 at the Darlington site that could be complete as early as 2028,” GE notes on its website.
“We are excited that SaskPower has chosen our technology as it looks to SMRs for the generation of carbon-free electricity,” said Jay Wileman, president and CEO, GEH,
in a release. “We believe the BWRX-300 is an ideal solution for SaskPower and customers that want to make an impact on climate change and energy security in a meaningful timeframe. Decades of design and licensing experience coupled with our proven and existing fuel supply chain position the BWRX-300 as the leading SMR solution.”
“Today marks the beginning of an exciting relationship between SaskPower and GE-Hitachi, a leader in the nuclear energy field that has the potential to benefit SaskPower and Saskatchewan for many decades to come,” said interim president and CEO at SaskPower, Troy King. “We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions while providing safe, reliable, and sustainable power for our customers, and GE-Hitachi’s SMR technology could play a powerful role in this future.”
Saskatchewan is currently considering the construction of four small modular reactors in this province, each 300 megawatts in power capacity. The total would almost, but not quite, replace existing coalfired power generation capacity, if all coal is to be retired. (Boundary Dam Power Station now is rated for 531 megawatts, Shand is 276 and Poplar River is 582 megawatts, for a total of 1,389 megawatts) However, the bulk of that coal retirement is scheduled to take place several years before any nuclear plants are planned to go online.

ZACHARIAS - Nancy (Wall) Zacharias passed peacefully at 1:30 am on June 18th, 2022, at the age of 65, in the Kindersley hospital holding her husband Jake’s hand, surrounded by family. Even though we know she is with our Lord and Saviour, it leaves a hole in many hearts that can’t be filled. Her ‘Celebration of Life’ was held at the Flaxcombe Hall on Thursday June 23. She was laid to rest in the Flaxcombe cemetery.
Nancy’s battle with cancer began as an emergency surgery (02/20/22) to remove an undiagnosed brain tumor. She faced many hurdles as things quickly progressed. Though it was very
difficult, she never complained, maintaining her sense of humour through each day. Nancy’s family/ friends are incredibly grateful for the extra time spent creating more cherished memories, including her youngest son, Ryan & his wife Morgan’s wedding.
Born in Chihuahua, Mexico on April 14, 1957, Nancy moved with her family to Frogmore, Ontario, at age 3. As she grew up attending Houghton School, she also worked at McConnells Nursery, Tillsonburg tobacco fields, and vegetable gardens. She was baptized at age 18, living her life with a strong faith in God. She met Jake in Ontario, November of 1973. Jake and Nancy got married in Aberdeen, SK in December of 1976. They settled in Flaxcombe, SK. In 1986, they moved from Flaxcombe to Big River to pursue their dream of farming. Jake cleared the land, built the house & barn & started growing the
farm. It was a great way to raise their kids, and they made lifelong friends. Friends stopped by almost nightly, playing cards, drinking coffee & enjoying mom’s baking, sometimes until dawn. Many adventures were had on that farm before moving back to Flaxcombe in 1996.
Over the years, Nancy enjoyed many hobbies, concerts, and events, and spent a great deal of time gardening, cooking, baking, and preserving food. She helped her husband Jake run his roofing and construction business, doing the administration side of things. Later, she managed their “Prairie Trailer Sales” business in Flaxcombe. She often helped others in the community, donating time and funds to organizations close to her heart.
Nancy was truly a homemaker in every sense of the word. Over the years, Jake & Nancy took joy in hosting many meals, fish fries and BBQs for friends and family. Jake &
