This is another quintessential Saskatchewan summer sunset - late August, about 7:30 in the evening, heavy clouds developing in the west after a 27 degree day, and smoke and
harvest dust in the air creating a ‘red sky at night’ kind of sunset. Beautiful enough to make a Saskatchewanian feel proud to call this province home, and former Saskatchewanians
home-sick. Highway 20, just a few kilometres northwest of Bulyea.

Sask Party says Budget on track
Saskatchewan’s 2018-19 Budget
remains on track, with a deficit of
$306 million projected at first quarter,
$59illion less than the original budget
projection of $365 million, Finance
Minister Donna Harpauer announced
last week.
Harpauer said the lower projected
deficit is attributable to a higher revenue
forecast—up $172 million from budget
due to higher net income and higher
non-renewable resource revenue. This
is partially offset by a $112 million increase
in expense due to higher healthcare
utilization, more spending for child
and family services, higher-than-expected
firefighting costs, and an
increase in pension expense reflecting
changes in interest rates and actuarial
assumptions.
“Our economy grew for the first time
in two years last year and while it is
early, we continue to see somepositive
signals this year. In terms of our fiscal
plan there is still work to do, but we are
on course to return the province to balance
by 2019-20,” Harpauer added.

RM220 McKillop Reeve Howard Arndt announced mid last week that an
interim Administrator has been hired and is now at work in the RM’s office
in Bulyea, replacing the Administrator who was let go earlier this month
following a budget that called for significant, unanticipated tax increases.
“Having an experienced and qualified Administrator immediately in place will
help us keep the office functioning in this very difficult period,” Arndt said. “This
will also help us support the provincial government’s formal inspection of the
RM’s administrative activities. One priority for the Administrator is to establish a
more responsive and cooperative relationship between the office and our ratepayers.
Other personnel decisions are likely to be announced in the coming week.”
Reeve Arndt has also confirmed that the communication lines are wide open.
Because of the budget and staffing issues in recent days, the Reeve has been
unable to personally respond to all media and public inquiries. With new staff in
place, the Reeve says he will now be able to respond to contacts more readily this
week.
“It is important to me that we share as much information as openly as we can
with the public,” the Reeve said. “Some may not have all the facts. And it’s important
to correct a number of errors or outright misstatements that are circulating.”
The provincial government last week announced that it has appointed longtime
municipal administrator and retired senior civil servant Carol Ingham to
officially ‘inspect’ the operations of RM 220 after the Ministry of Government
Relations received a flurry of complaints from ratepayers and residents following
a massive property tax increase.
The Kenny Shields memorial signs, organized by a local committee of Kenny’s loyal fans,
were erected last Tuesday at the south (shown in photo) and north entrances to Nokomis.
Once in place, the signs were covered with tarps to await the ceremonial unveiling on
Saturday, Sept. 1st. Jim and Maureen Tait were on hand, as well as Doug Edwards to help
Sean Edwards with the installation. Wes Kirk had drilled the holes earlier in the afternoon.
The work started around 5:00 and both signs were installed by 6:30.

RCMP working to recover
1959 downed plane

Members of the RCMP’s Underwater Recovery Team (URT), with assistance from Buffalo Narrows
RCMP were on-site at Peter Pond Lake on August 27 and 28. The team was assessing the possibility of a
recovery dive involving what is believed to be a small plane that went missing in 1959. The wreckage was
located earlier this summer by a private contractor who specializes in underwater sonar searches.
The team encountered a number of challenges during the week including: access and distance (the dive
site is two hours by boat from the staging point on shore), low visibility combined with significant depth
(the wreckage is approximately 60 feet below the surface). But it was the strong winds and high waves that
posed the biggest obstacles. While some additional sonar imaging was completed and a remote underwater
vehicle deployed, surface boats could not maintain their positions in the conditions.
Team supervisors have determined that the safest course of action is to delay another potential dive
attempt to winter when the ice can be used as a staging point/dive platform and visibility is expected to
improve. “The safety of our divers and support members is our top priority. If conditions are deemed too
dangerous, no dive attempt will take place,” a spokesman said
RCMP remains optimistic that a dive can be performed at some point that would allow for: a visual and
physical inspection of the wreckage; confirmation that it is the missing plane from 1959; photographs to
document the site, and the possible recovery of any human remains or articles belonging to the two occupants
who were on-board.

Possible Postal Worker strike
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has declared that collective job action could take place
on September 26 if a new agreement is not reached soon.
The two sides have been working to reach new collective agreements with since late 2017. At the beginning
of June, both negotiating teams relocated to a hotel in Ottawa to accelerate talks. Throughout the
entire process, a mediator has been participating in the process to provide guidance and assistance. On
June 29, 2018, CUPW asked the federal Minister of Labour for conciliation assistance in these ongoing
negotiations.
The conciliation process is a normal phase of negotiations detailed in the Canada Labour Code. Conciliators
have 60 days to build consensus and broker a deal. Should the process conclude without new collective
agreements, there will be a mandatory 21-day cooling off period before there can be any legal work
disruption. A 72-hour notice must also be filed before there can be a legal interruption in work.
Royal Canadian Legion awards
Prince Harry
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was named the recipient of the 2018 Founders Award during
The Royal Canadian Legion’s Dominion Convention.
The 2018 award recognizes one of his most notable achievements: the founding of the Invictus Games.
This competition harnesses the power of sport to motivate ill and injured servicemen and servicewomen
and helps them along on the road to recovery. The courage and determination they display while training
and competing leads to a wider understanding and respect for those who serve their country.
“Prince Harry’s inspiring movement has earned our gratitude for how it supports veterans and serves
our military members,” says 2016-2018 Dominion President David Flannigan. “The Legion was proud
to be a Signature Sponsor of the third games, held in 2017 in Toronto, and we wish Team Canada and all
international athletes all the best for the upcoming competition in Sydney, Australia this October.”
Every two years since 2012, the Legion’s Founders Award is bestowed on an individual whose extraordinary
achievement both exemplifies and advances the purposes and objectives of the Legion and is true to
the spirit and vision of its founding members.
Prince Harry was named the recipient of the award at the Legion’s 47th Dominion Convention in Winnipeg.

Regina company fined for worker
fatality
Kyle Ringlein (operating as High 5
Mechanical) has been fined a total of
$23,800 for violating one count under
Occupational Health and Safety legislation
resulting in a workplace fatality.
The Regina company pleaded guilty in
Regina Provincial Court on August 29,
2018 to contravening section 464 of the
regulations (being an employer, fail to
ensure that before any work, other than
work to which subsection 465(4) applies,
begins on an electrical conductor or electrical
equipment and during the progress
of that work, the electrical conductor or
electrical equipment is isolated, locked
out and connected to the ground or other
effective procedures are taken to ensure
the safety of the worker, resulting in the
death of a worker).
The company was fined $17,000 with a
$6,800 surcharge. The workplace fatality
occurred on August 9, 2016 in Regina
when a worker was electrocuted while
installing an air conditioning unit.
Stronger penalties take effect
September 1
Consequences for impaired driving are
getting even tougher in Saskatchewan
as of Sept. 1, including stronger penalties
for drug-impaired drivers and for
impaired drivers who transport children.
The Traffic Safety (Miscellaneous)
Amendment Act 2017 and The Miscellaneous
Vehicle and Driving Statutes
Last Mountain Times • Monday, September 3, 2018 • lmtimes.ca
(Cannabis Legislation) Amendment Act,
2017 were both passed in the Spring
sitting of the Legislature and come into
effect Sept. 1.
As of Sept. 1, zero tolerance for drug
impairment will apply to all drivers. Zero
tolerance means that drivers should not
get behind the wheel with any level of
impairing drugs in their system detectable
by a federally-approved screening
device, or a standardized field sobriety
test. The province has also updated
legislation and regulations so that tough
administrative penalties that impaired
drivers in Saskatchewan faced under
existing legislation will also apply to
anyone charged under three new federal
drug-impaired driving laws.
There will also be longer vehicle seizures
for impaired drivers with passengers
under 16 years of age in the vehicle.
In addition, experienced drivers who are
impaired and transporting passengers
under 16 will face longer roadside license
suspensions.
If police suspect that a driver is
impaired by a drug or alcohol (or a
combination of both), they can demand
that the driver take a standardized field
sobriety test or use a roadside screening
device. If the driver fails the field
sobriety test or registers a failure on the
roadside screening device, they can have
their vehicle seized and license suspended
for at least three days. If the officer
has reasonable grounds to believe that
a driver is impaired by a drug or alcohol
they can demand that the driver submit
to an evaluation conducted by a Drug
Recognition Evaluator (DRE) or a breath
test at the police station.
If a driver subsequently fails a DRE, or
exceeds .08 blood alcohol concentration,
that triggers Criminal Code charges,
which results in a minimum 30-day
vehicle seizure, an indefinite licence suspension
until the charges are dealt with,
and – upon conviction – potential fines,
jail time, ignition interlock requirements
and driving prohibitions.
Sask small business optimism
jumped in August
Last Thursday, the Canadian Federation
of Independent Business (CFIB)
released its latest monthly Business Barometer,
which reveals optimism among
small business owners in Saskatchewan
jumped in August for the second consecutive
month to an index of 57.9, up from
50.0 in July, but remains slightly below
the national average index of 61.6.
“Optimism among Saskatchewan’s
small firms kicked into high gear. The
index went from gaining 5 points in July
to topping up another 8 points in August.
The index shows confidence among Saskatchewan’s
entrepreneurs to be closer to
levels seen in Ontario and New Brunswick,”
said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s
Vice-President, Prairie & Agri-business.
“However, employment plans for the next
three months haven’t seen much of an
improvement though with roughly equal
shares of business owners looking to hire
(13%) as to layoff (11%). The general state
of business improved slightly with 38 per
cent of respondents saying their businesses
are in good shape, versus 17 per
cent who see their firms in bad shape.”
Nationally, after a major drop amid
trade tensions in July, small business
confidence rebounded to 61.6 this month,
gaining 4.8 index points over last month.
“It seems businesses across most of the
country are breathing a bit easier this
month,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s vice
president and chief economist. “Even
markets that have been lagging since the
resource price crunch of 2015 and 2016,
like Saskatchewan and Newfoundland &
Labrador, are feeling more optimistic.”
Nutrien to occupy new Saskatoon
office building
Nutrien Ltd. announced last week
that it will be the anchor tenant of the
new Nutrien Tower at the River Landing
development in the Central Business
District. The new office tower will be the
future home for its Saskatoon Office,
and will be the tallest office building in
Saskatchewan.
Nutrien is the company formed by the
merger of PotashCorp and Agrium, and
is the largest provider of potash, nitrogen
and phosphate products world-wide
“We are proud to be a partner in a
development that will provide a dynamic
new addition to Saskatoon’s cityscape
and the cultural experience of the city,”
commented Chuck Magro, Nutrien’s
President and CEO. “Nutrien Tower will
provide our employees with a worldclass,
modern office environment that
meets the highest levels of office building
sustainability standards.”
The new Nutrien Tower will be
equipped with state-of-the-art technology
and configured in an open-concept
design. The company is targeting a
move-in date of late 2021 or early 2022.
Saskatoon’s River Landing development
is a 2.84-acre parcel being developed
on the bank of the South Saskatchewan
River in downtown Saskatoon. It
will consist of high-end park space and
restaurants, as well as condominium and
office space.
Population numbers up again
Saskatchewan’s population has reached
another all-time high, topping 1.17 million
for the first time. According to new
figures released last week by Statistics
Canada, Saskatchewan grew by 1,488
people in the first quarter of 2018, to
1,171,240 people as of April 1. That’s an
increase of 11,691 people in the past year,
and 157,806 more people in the past
decade.
Stats Canada says the population
increase in the most recent quarter was
driven by net international migration
of 2,731 people and a natural increase
(births minus deaths) of 1,283, offset by
net interprovincial migration of -2,526.

Win / win outcomes
Voting is a right best exercised by
people who have taken the time to
learn about the issues. - Tony Snow
As we await the results of Carol Ingham’s inspection
on the state of affairs of the RM of McKillop 220, all
ratepayers need to turn their immediate attention to the
October 24 election of council members. Additionally,
we will likely be asked to vote on two petition related
questions, one being division boundary changes for
proportional representation, and the second, leaving
boundaries as they are and exploring options for
self-government for resort hamlets.
All ratepayers in the three even-numbered divisions
need to get active and support the nomination
of candidates who place the interests of others before
self-interest. We need reasonable people of good will
who will represent division interests and at the same
time respect the needs of all ratepayers. In other words,
looking for win/win outcomes.
As ratepayers we need to respect the historical legacy
of the RM of McKillop and the current needs of the
agricultural community. At the same time, the needs
of resort communities, which have grown significantly
over the past 30 years, also need attention. The future is
in achieving something that’s rare in Saskatchewan - a
unique rural-urban environment that is sustainable for
everyone. It will take a lot of work and some innovation
to create this, but it’s worth the effort. It’s time for all
ratepayers to publicly call a halt to the confrontational,
divisive dynamics at play within the RM Council. It isn’t
enough to be just attacking others - we need people who
can work cooperatively toward real change, without
personal motives. It’s time for Councillors who put
self-interest before the interests of others and who perpetuate
a destructive win/loose dynamic, to step aside.
A change to proportional representation or a new
model of self-government for resort hamlets will be
meaningless if we don’t elect people who will change the
spirit and behaviour of the RM Council for the better.
Not voting as a form of protest is in reality giving up. If
you don’t vote why should anyone care what you think?
An informed voter is the best voter. Don’t just vote as
someone else tells you.
Help nominate good people, ask all candidates questions
about how they will represent you and others.
Determine any self-interests that compromise their
ability to serve those who elect them. Seek out information
on the implications of the decisions we’re being
asked to make regarding proportional representation
and self-government options. Support town-hall meetings
and expect informed and impartial information
sharing.
October 24 will be here in no time. Check out the
RM of McKillop’s web-site to ensure you are registered
to vote and know your division. There is a prescribed
process and time line for nominating candidates. Let’s
all get involved, get informed and elect people who
are committed to the principles of fairness, respect,
informed decision making and getting win/win results.
We’ve got some good people on the RM Council. Once
the election is over let’s positively support the Reeve
and Council members in their ongoing work.

Carbon offset questions
Dear Premier Scott Moe
I was thrilled to hear that you
turned towards farmer Megz Reynolds’
invitation to take a seat in her
harvest combine. Research shows
that ‘turning towards’ is the best
response. Turning towards is not
giving in, but connecting to seek a
positive outcome.
Are either you or Megz aware of
the “4 per 1000” initiative? It offers
a positive climate change outcome.
4p1000.org explains carbon

rate of that 4.3 billion tons per year.

Making change happen in RM 220
The RM of McKillop is going through a rough time,
and it’s clear things must change. The turnaround is
painful, but the financial facts have to be faced within
the rules the province gives us.
I’ve already committed to changing the RM’s archaic
financial planning calendar so we don’t ever again get
caught in the budget mess we faced this year. There are
also issues that are about things other than taxes.
New staff: After only a few days since we parted ways
with our former administrator, a very experienced
administrator was in place on an immediate, temporary
basis to keep RM business going. I think anyone who
meets her will be pleased at her knowledge and her ability
to cooperate to get things done. Both those qualities
are what I’m looking for in the administrator position.
Trailers: There has been a lot of negative feedback on
bylaw enforcement relating to trailers. While bylaw enforcement
is necessary, I agree with those who say the
way we went about it was heavy handed and could have
been handled better. Given that we are still looking at
options to allow the use of trailers on residential lots,
I’m proposing to Council that we find a way to reduce
the impact of that bylaw. Can we provide a longer time
line for people to adjust, or is there some other way?
Whatever Council decides, I’ll be pressing for a decision
that helps people trying to adapt to fair enforcement of
our bylaws. For too many years, enforcement was weak
and unfair, and it’s the RM’s duty to enforce its bylaws.
But the thing we have to consider is that sometimes the
way bylaws are enforced can make a big difference in
peoples’ lives.
EDITORIALS, LETTERS & OPINIONS
the soil by “4 per 1000” (0.4%) per
year, we can offset all our carbon
emissions.
This offset can be done by shifting
to regenerative agriculture practices
like no-till. Plus, regenerative agriculture
has many benefits; increased
food security, improved soil fertility,
healthier food and environment,
lower input costs, and reduced
ocean acidification. A local farmer
who practices regenerative agriculture
gleefully counts his lower input
costs, especially lower fuel costs.
Individually, every bite we eat
moves us towards or away from
regenerative agriculture. Provincially,
rather than turning against
a carbon tax, would it be wiser to
turn our province towards the “4
per 1000” solution? Defeating the
carbon tax will not mitigate climate
change. Committing to regenerative
agriculture would move us towards
mitigating climate change and could
move us away from a carbon tax.
If you have not investigated the “4
per 1000” initiative, please direct
your Minister of Agriculture to do
so. If you have, please share the
results.
-Nancy Carswell, Shellbrook, SK

City polling station: We need to look at the idea of
a polling station in Regina for the October municipal
election. A lot of people ask for it. The fact is that it
also costs a lot of money. On the other hand, we want
ratepayers to know that their participation in elections
is important. Having Council explore this right away is
a priority.1
Keeping the baby when the bathwater goes: We all
know the expression “don’t throw the baby out with
the bathwater.” Things in our RM that need changing
should be changed, but we also have to be sure to protect
the good things we have.
As Reeve, I’m the one person at the Council table who
is elected across the whole RM, not just in a division.
That means I hear from people from every corner.
What I hear is that residents love this RM for its unique
lifestyle. We offer so much in our country spaces. But
we are a wide range of people living in a wide variety of
locations and lifestyles. So we need to cooperate to keep
the rural qualities and lake shore lifestyles that we all
enjoy in so many different ways.
Getting better by building, not tearing down: One
thing is clear: things can be better. There’s a lot to criticize
when your taxes suddenly jump. How we deal with
it all is important. I want to build something better.
As a total community of ratepayers in this RM, we’ll
achieve what’s important to us by building good things
on the positive platform we already have in this very
special place.

Can anyone hope to beat the Red Sox?
Baseball fans are in for a thrilling
September.
It’s a foregone conclusion that the best team in
baseball is the Boston Red Sox, but Major League
Baseball’s constitution says playoffs must be played,
and the TV networks insist on October games,
so nine other teams will join the Red Sox with a
chance at winning the World Series. But who will
those nine teams be?
Last year, the three division winners in each
league were, on average, about 12 games ahead
of their nearest rival, with only one close race in
MLB’s six divisions (Boston by two games over the
Yankees in the A.L. East). This year? Wow! There
are tight races everywhere, and a few contenders
that playoff viewers haven’t seen in a while.
While Boston is a lock in the A.L. East, and
Cleveland is going to easily reclaim the A.L. Central
crown, a three-team battle is keeping fans in the
A.L. West on the edges of their seats. Defending
World Series champion Houston Astros are being
chased by both surprising Oakland A’s — the hottest
team in baseball in the past two months — and
Seattle Mariners.
All three divisional races in the National League
were tight entering September and fans in about
eight cities were in for some exciting stretch-drive
baseball. Fans in Atlanta, Philadelphia and St.
Louis, none of which had playoff ball in 2017, are
gearing up for a terrific final month. Bottom feeders
the last few years in the N.L. East, the Braves and
Phillies are generating excitement with young
teams that are peaking earlier than expected. Those
two teams go head to head in seven of their final
11 games, while pre-season favourite Washington
Nationals are languishing in third place.
In the N.L. Central, St. Louis fired manager Mike
Matheny in mid-July and the Cardinals have been
on fire ever since, going 25-11 during one stretch
under new boss Mike Shildt. The Cards were within
a handful of games of the division-leading Cubs,
with Milwaukee, the division front-runner most of
the season, neck and neck with the Cardinals.
Out west, L.A. Dodgers and their massive $194
million payroll (third-highest in baseball behind
Boston and San Francisco) are anything but a lock
to make the playoffs, even after acquiring superstar
infielder Manny Machado from Baltimore at the
trade deadline. The Dodgers sat third in late August,
behind Arizona and Colorado, who were the
NL’s two wildcard competitors last season.
A lot of energy will be expended down the
stretch, and the excitement level will be high, but
can anyone really hope to prevent the Red Sox
from winning their third World Series title in
the past 15 years? Likely not, but they’ll have fun
trying.
RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “The Sunday
Times recently ran a feature How to Get the Body

and exercise tips. Being the star
QB for the Patriots also works.”

Sudden death and missing child
During the course of a sudden death investigation
on August 25, 2018, RCMP are looking for the public’s
assistance in locating 7-year-old Greagan Geldenhuys
of the Fort Qu’Appelle area. Greagan was last seen on
August 24, 2018 during the afternoon in the Fort Qu’Appelle
area. Greagan has blond hair and slim build.
The identity of the deceased has been confirmed to
be Tamaine Geldenhuys, a 47-year-old female from
the Fort Qu’Appelle area. Tamaine is Greagan’s mother.
Investigators believe Greagan was with his mother
sometime before she was located deceased on the beach
yesterday. Investigators have not found any evidence to
support foul play in the death of Tamaine Geldenhuys at
this time, and are treating the search for the 7 year old
boy as a ‘recovery’ effort, presuming that he may have
drowned.

Province’s next step in
Climate Change Strategy
Target: 10 per cent reduction over 12 years
The Government of Saskatchewan says it continues to implement key commitments made in its climate
change plan to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and maintain a competitive economy.
As part of the made-in-Saskatchewan ‘Prairie Resilience Strategy’, the Saska Party government has developed
new output- based performance standards that will apply to more than 40 Saskatchewan industrial
facilities. These facilities generate 11 per cent (or approximately 8.5 million tonnes) of total provincial
emissions and are expected to reduce that portion by a total of 10 per cent by 2030. These measures are
in addition to previously announced reductions in electricity generation (40 per cent) and methane from
upstream oil and gas (40 per cent).
“Reductions in these three key areas will reduce emissions by 12 megatonnes of greenhouse gases each
year by 2030,” Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. “Our strategy is designed to responsibly and
tangibly reduce emissions without the imposition of an economy-wide carbon tax.”
Duncan said Saskatchewan’s performance standards will increase over an established schedule from
2019 to 2030, cumulatively reducing GHG emissions by 5.3 million tonnes. The sector-specific performance
standards are expected to achieve the following emissions intensity reductions:Potash, coal and
uranium mining (5 per cent); iron and steel mills (5 per cent); fertilizer manufacturing (5 per cent); pulp
mills (5 per cent); ethanol production (5 per cent); refining and upgrading (10 per cent); upstream oil and
gas – combustion only (15 per cent).
The the PRS program, Saskatchewan industrial facilities will be able to choose from flexible compliance
options including offset credits, best performance credits and a technology fund.

mated at about four people per square kilometre.
Nevertheless, we’re still a highly urbanized country
with more than 80 per cent of our population living
in cities and towns. Despite our vast geography,
we’ve created more density, and the benefits that
flow from it, in our major urban centres.
But do we have the right kind of population
density? Population density is important because
it creates nodes of economic activity and opportunity
that foster economic innovation, productivity
and growth, as well as diverse cultural and artistic
opportunities. Dense urban centres allow for economies
of scale in spreading the cost of infrastructure
such as transit across more people, creating
efficiencies.
Studies have found greater urban population
densities associated with economic productivity
gains, especially in knowledge and creative industries.
And a recent Fraser Institute study comparing
population density in cities across Canada and
other high-income countries found that Canada’s
major cities have relatively low population densities
compared to other international cities. For example,
Toronto, Canada’s biggest city at 2.7 million people,
seems crowded at 4,457 inhabitants per square
kilometre. But compare it to Barcelona, which has
1.6 million inhabitants in a smaller area, leading to
a population density of 15,873 people per square kilometre.
The coastal hubs of San Francisco and Barcelona
are 1.31 and 2.89 times as dense as Vancouver,
which at 5,493 people per square kilometre is
Canada’s densest major city. Chicago, New York and
London are 1.03, 2.45 and 2.48 times as dense as
Toronto. Paris is 4.29 times as dense as Montreal.
This tells us that Canadian cities have room to become
denser relative to other major cities. And not
only do we need Canadian cities to become more
densely populated, we need more large cities. While
Canada is an urban country, it needs more large
and dense cities to provide a larger internal market
that would create economies of scale and further
economic productivity growth. This means increasing
Canada’s population.
Take Canadian and U.S. per capita gross domestic
product (GDP). For much of its history, Canada’s per
capita GDP has been at about 80 per cent of U.S. per
capita GDP. This productivity gap occasionally narrows
- particularly during a natural resource boom
- but then tends back towards the average. It has remained
a constant. What’s also interesting between
Canada and the United States is the difference in
population concentration that has accompanied this
productivity gap.
Canada is a long linear country with much of its
small population clustered along the U.S. border
with a few larger nodes. The U.S. has a population
10 times the size of Canada but spread out across
the country in a hub-and-spoke network linked by
an extensive transportation system. The U.S. has
a larger population and market size and denser
population. But compared to Canada, it’s also less
concentrated in a few large cities. In 1950, about 15
per cent of the U.S. population lived in its largest
10 cities compared to 23 per cent in Canada. While
America’s population has grown and become denser,
the proportion of its population living in its top
10 cities has actually shrunk, from 15 per cent in
1950 to about eight per cent in 2016. Over the same
period, Canada’s population in its top 10 cities grew
from 23 per cent to 31 per cent.
While we need cities the size of Toronto, Montreal
and Vancouver to become denser, we also need
more cities the size of Winnipeg spread out across
the country. The solution? Whether via natural
increase or more immigration, Canada can benefit
from a larger population spread out in more large,
vibrant and competitive urban centres to foster
growth, innovation and productivity.
This is our real challenge for the 21st century.

Open textbooks save U of S
students $1.18 million
SASKATOON – As of this year’s
fall term, free, online textbooks
have saved thousands of University
of Saskatchewan (U of S) students
about $1.18 million since 2014 and
have given U of S instructors the
opportunity to develop reading
material that complement their
class perfectly.
“Saving our students more than $1 million
demonstrates we are one of the leaders in open educational
practices in Canada,” said Patti McDougall,
vice-provost of Teaching, Learning and Student
Experience at the U of S. “I am so happy we’ve had
such broad interest. This academic year, at least
eight colleges and schools are using open educational
resources.”
Traditionally published textbooks are produced
under closed copyright, meaning they cannot be
shared, re-used or re-purposed. They are usually
costly, with new editions published frequently,
making older texts quickly out of date.
“Using open educational resources, the instructor
decides what material their students should learn
as opposed to feeling tied to content a publisher
has decided is important,” said McDougall. “These
resources also provide an opportunity for open
pedagogy, which allows students to contribute to
the creation of learning material, which I view as an
exciting development.”
McDougall said the Government of Saskatchewan
has noticed the university’s progress, and in July of
this year, the Ministry of Advanced Education gave
the U of S, along with Saskatchewan Polytechnic
and the University of Regina, $83,333 to continue
promoting and developing open resources. This is
the fourth year the university
has received this funding
from the government.
The funds have been
used to create and adapt
open textbooks and supporting
resources, raise
awareness about open
educational practices, and
to offer small stipends
to instructors who write
reviews of existing open
textbooks. McDougall
Patti McDougall
said these reviews will help increase awareness of
what resources exist, as well as the quality of these
resources.
Sheldon Moellenbeck, vice-president of academic
affairs at the U of S Students’ Union, is a strong
advocate of open resources and is encouraging
undergraduate students to speak to their professors
about open and affordable reading material.
“I think sometimes students don’t know they have
the ability to go to their professor to talk about their
required reading material,” said Moellenbeck. “It
would be very reasonable to approach a professor in
a respectful manner and tell them how paying for
textbooks affects your life and ask for alternative
options.
“If they are not able to adopt an open textbook,
they might let you use an existing open resource or
they could put the text in the library. It’s not about
shaming the professor, but encouraging dialogue
between students and instructors.”
Moellenbeck hopes that eventually all first-year
courses at the U of S will use open or more affordable
reading material.
“There’s nothing like getting into a class and
knowing your professor is using an affordable alternative
to a very expensive textbook,” said Moellenbeck.
“There is a sense of relief.”
New Broncos president
There is a new president at the helm of the Humboldt Broncos. At their
annual meeting Kevin Garinger opted not to seek re-election as president of
the hockey club.
The new Broncos executive was elected at their board meeting Aug. 21. The
new president is Jamie Brockman, the new vice-president is Maury Simoneau,
and Curtis Wacker is the new treasurer. As well, the board includes seven new
directors marking the first time in recent years that every board position is
filled.
As president of the SJHL hockey club, Garinger has been the spokesman
for the Broncos over the past five months in the aftermath of the April 6 bus
accident that devastated the team. Garinger is the Director of Education and
CEO of the Horizon School Division.

New 10 kW Solar System at
Lumsden’s River Park Centre
Lumsden’s River Park Centre facility prior to the solar panel installation on the roof.
Two weeks ago, a contractor completed the
installation of a 10 kW solar system at the
River Park Centre in Lumsden, as part of the
contractor’s Municipal Solar Energy Program.
“We are very pleased with the installation. The
10kW solar system will generate approximately
15,000-kilowatt hours of renewable energy each
year, which is 54% of River Park Centre’s yearly
electricity usage. Over the next 20 years, River
Park’s carbon footprint will be reduced equivalent to
burning approximately 120 tonnes of coal or 25,000
gallons of gasoline,” Lindsey Sawatsky, General
Manager at Regina’s Sunroof Energy Corp (now Tru-Green Energy), stated.
Bryan Matheson, Mayor of the Town of Lumsden said, “We are excited about participating in the Municipal
Solar Power Program offered by Sunroof. With this new system our kilowatt per hour cost for renewable
solar electricity is less than what we are currently paying, and we anticipate overall savings of approximately
$21,000 in electricity expenses at the River Park Centre over the lifetime of the system.”
The River Park Centre opened in May of 2010. The 2,000 square-foot multi-purpose building includes
a meeting area, a kitchen, an office, laundry and washrooms with showers. The new facility replaced the
River Park Chalet, a building which had been converted from a former train station.

Crop Report For August 21 to 27, 2018
Producers took advantage of the warm and dry
weather to make considerable harvest progress
before light showers later in the week put field work
on hold, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s
weekly Crop Report.
Twenty-seven per cent of the crop is now in the
bin, well ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) average
of 13 per cent for this time of year. Seventeen per
cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to straightcut.
Yields vary across the province, depending on
the amount of moisture received over the growing
season.
Harvest is most advanced in the southwestern
region, where 46 per cent of the crop is now combined.
The southeastern region has 42 per cent
combined, the west-central region 23 per cent and
the east-central region 16 per cent. Ten per cent of
the crop is in the bin in the northeast and five per
cent in the northwest.
Ninety-six per cent of the fall rye, 76 per cent of
the field peas, 78 per cent of the winter wheat, 74
per cent of lentils, 30 per cent of the mustard, 36
per cent of the barley, 32 per cent of the durum, 16
per cent of the spring wheat and seven per cent of
the canola are now in the bin. An additional
43 per cent of the canola and eight
per cent of the mustard are swathed or
ready to straight-cut.
There were some light showers
throughout the province this week, with
the highest rainfall (29mm) being reported in the
Ponteix area. Topsoil moisture conditions remain
unchanged, despite the limited extra moisture.
Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions
on cropland are rated as 25 per cent adequate, 46
per cent short and 29 per cent very short. Hay land
and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 21 per cent
adequate, 38 per cent short and 41 per cent very
short. Many southern and central areas have not
received a significant rainfall in close to two months
and crops continue to rapidly dry down.
The majority of crop damage this past week was
due to lack of moisture and strong wind. There
continue to be reports of stubble and grass fires
even though light showers helped to reduce fire risk
in some areas. Concerns remain of feed shortages
occurring in drier areas. Producers are busy combining,
swathing crops and hauling bales.
SaskPower reports six cases of farm machinery
coming into contact with electrical equipment in
the last week, bringing the total for August to 18.
SaskPower reminds producers to take the time this
harvest season to identify overhead power lines and
to plan ahead when moving equipment.
Spring flowering bulbs
HORTICULTURE
PAT HANBIDGE
SASKATOON, SK
Last week the column was all about lifting and storing summer flowering bulbs.
This week the job of planting spring flowering bulbs who are also very hardy in
our climatic zones will be featured. Spring flowering bulbs must be planted in the
fall to allow the bulb to develop a good root system. These bulbs also need a cold period
(winter) in order to allow their flowers to fully develop. For best results plant them well
before our ground freezes – now is the perfect time! Spring flowering bulbs are inexpensive,
simple to plant and require very little for care.
Size matters! When purchasing bulbs, it is important to remember that this is one
instance when you truly get what you pay for. The larger bulbs of each flower type will
without fail give you a better product. Take time to examine the flesh of the bulb as it
should be smooth and free of any blemishes. Your favourite garden centre should have plenty of stock in
now that will ensure you can enjoy the latest bulbs of your dreams come spring.
Bulbs should be planted in an area that is well-drained.
The soil should be free of weeds and dug to a depth of about
12 inches (30cm). If your soil is a heavy clay soil, incorporate
equal portions of coarse sand and a suitable organic matter like
compost. A good rule of thumb is to incorporate a good 4 to 6
inches (10 to 20 cm) of organic matter prior to planting. Apply a
standard bulb booster fertilizer (9-9-6) or bone meal at planting
time to encourage a vigorous and healthy root system.
The planting depth will vary for each type of bulb, but a good
rule of thumb is to plant the bulb to a depth of 3 – 4 times the
width of the bulb. Therefore, if you are planting a tulip bulb
that is 2 inches (5 cm) wide, it should be planted 8 inches (20
cm) deep. After planting, water the soil thoroughly and mulch
the surface with leaves or grass clippings to a depth of 2 inches
(5 cm).
When planting spring bulbs, you will get the best impact
if you group the same type of bulb together. The bigger the
grouping the larger will be the impact. Most spring flowering
bulbs are low in stature. What that means from a design perspective
is that they should be planted at the front of the border
but also somewhere that enables you to enjoy the show on a

MINISTERIAL MESSAGES
Politics, Economics and God
Anyone that has been following the
news recently knows about the rising
sense of uncertainty in the political
and economic relationship between
Canada and the United States. There is
some disappointment at how our Prime
Minister has been leading our nation
and there is also a rising sense of unease
over how the American President has
been seemingly strong-arming us into
some potentially major concessions
concerning the existing NAFTA trade
agreement. The most recent discussions
between the U.S. and Mexico, without
Canada at the table, has fuelled a notion
that this is another tactic to weaken any
leverage Canada may have had to protect
her interests.
Politics and economics are such an
important aspect of society and of life
in general. These critical pillars require
creative, mature and wise leadership to
steer the ship into calm waters where
good decisions can be made that will
bring benefit to the people. But there is
an inevitable reality that underlies the
very best plans and purposes, and this
reality plagues all humanity—no one is
exempt, and that is this: every human
being is flawed.
To someone that denies the existence
of God, there is still a recognition of the
imperfection of humanity—it is human
nature, in the naturalistic sense of the
term, that admits that no leader can lead
perfectly, mistakes will be made and
people may suffer because of it.
But a Christian will say that this
human nature is flawed because of sin—
that breaking of relationship with God
who is our source of guidance . . .our
North Star, so to speak, our anchoring
point from which we can access fixed
truth that will not be affected by our
own shortcomings.
Let’s be clear here: we need God to
help us to navigate life. He designed it,
and He wants to help us to make wise
decisions that will bring health and life
to humanity, including things like negotiating
the NAFTA deal with wisdom
and honor in the truest sense.
But we need to turn, once again, to the
source of God’s wisdom in order to regain
our fixed point of reference in order
to move forward.
Psalm 23:3 says that God “refreshes
and restores my life; He leads me in the
paths of righteousness for His name’s
sake.”
We don’t often make the connection
between the so-called ‘spiritual’ word,
righteousness with things like politics
and economics, but it’s time that we regain
this ancient and historic anchor in
our lives. God’s righteousness contains
the seeds of honor that are so necessary
now.
Maybe it’s time for righteousness,
or the regaining of uprightness in our
speech, in our honor, in our honesty, in
our leadership to once again rise to the
surface? It just might be the thing we
most need.
My prayer is that God would impress
on us a desire to hear Him say that He
is willing to lead us if we are willing to
listen.

Trans Mountain
Pipeline shut down
Federal court nullifies 2016 approval process
In response to last week’s announcement by the Federal Court of Canada that the
2016 Trans Mountain Pipeline approval process was flawed and the construction
permit is no longer valid, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe urged the federal government
to do everything in its power to get the project back on track. Moe said, if
possible, the federal government should appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of
Canada as soon as possible.
In Alberta, NDP Premier Rachel Notley stated that her government has pulled out
of the federal government’s climate change strategy until the Trudeau government
gets the $7.4 billion pipeline project going again.
Prior to the court ruling, the federal government announced its intention to
purchase Kinder Morgan’s interest in the pipeline project in order to keep it viable.
Prime Minister Trudeau said last Thursday that his government intends to finalize
that purchase arrangement, and push forward to get the project approved by the
courts.

regular basis. Spend a bit of your fall in
the garden planning for spring, plant
some spring flowering bulbs and enjoy
the grand show in the spring!
Choose hardy stock that will survive in
your climate zone. Tulips, species tulips
like Tulipa tarda, scilla and crocus are
your hardiest choices but in the right
location daffodils, puchkinia, fritilarias
and grape hyacinth will also work well.
Hyacinths will be fine for zone 4 and
above, depending on the species.
I have a love of all tulips. You can
extend the spring season by planting a
collection of early, mid and late flowering
selections. Spring on the prairies
is often short so play with the climate
and extend every season by planting for
extending the colour. Do remember that
a lot of the exotic tulips are not really
perennial in nature and you may need
to replant annually. However, if you use
some of the old tulip types like Darwin,
you should be able to get lots of years of
blooming tulips.
Plan for spring......plant now so you
can spend the long winter anticipating
the show you are creating to be enjoyed
in spring.

Others produce wheat
While there are many rather dramatic changes
taking place in agriculture these days, one of
the more interesting, and less talked about is the
increased confidence the marketplace is showing in
the sector’s ability to produce.
A good example of the trend can be seen in wheat.
While wheat may have lost its crown as king of
crops to canola, at least in terms of profitability in
Western Canada, it remains a major food grain on a
global scale.
The fact is farmers around the world produce
wheat almost too well.
While the United States Department of Agriculture
has global wheat down 28.4 million tonnes or
2.9 per cent this year, the modest drop off bucks
a significant run of production increases. Since
2012-13 there has been a year-over-year increase in
wheat production each year up until this one.
The reasons for the constant increase in wheat
production are of course varied, but there are
certainly some obvious influences at play including
better agronomic traits being bred into new wheat
varieties, and optimizing the science of farming in
terms of fertilizer and crop protection products.
And wheat is a crop that is widely grown, and that
too is a key to consistent world production.
We like to think of the Canadian Prairies as the
bread basket to the world because we grow lots of
high quality milling flour.
That of course is true, and most of that production
is exported to some other country making Canada a
major producer of wheat for flour.
But Canada is far from being the only producer.
It might surprise some, but China is easily the

largest producer of wheat,
followed by India, but they
consume almost all they produce
so don’t draw attention
like the exporting countries. Of
course if they have bad crops
they become more aggressive as
importers, which is significant
for farmers here.
Russia in the world’s third largest wheat producer,and
as they adopt better farm technology they
have the potential to boost yields.
In Europe France is the big producer, followed by
Germany, which is where dry conditions this year
have reduced yield expectations accounting for the
world decline.
Interestingly, Ukraine sits 10th in world production
of wheat. It is another country where better
farm technology could boost production significantly,
a comment that could be applied to many
countries. For example, Poland plants about 2.4
million hectares of wheat annually, and wheat is the
largest crop grown in Kazakhstan. Both countries
could boost production if they had access to the
tools farmers have here.
While the opportunity to grow production exists
based on technology transfer, at present the security
of production lies in the diversity of the production
area for wheat.
It is the ability to grow wheat from Australia to
Kansas that has given the marketplace the confidence
to expect production to always be there.

Boo’s and football
A few thoughts today about booing by spectators,
as the Blue Bombers and Roughriders engage in
their time-honoured Labour Day clash in Regina.
The practice of expressing verbal disapproval for a
performance has been around since the plays of the
ancient Greeks, and the gladiators in Rome.
In 2018, it became a storyline in Canadian
football as Winnipeg has struggled with Matt
Nichols running the offence. In a loss to Ottawa
two weeks ago, Matt was booed several times, and
he expressed his displeasure in the post-game
interviews. Needless to say it made a bad situation
worse.
In the Labour Day Classic he may be faced with
booing by lubricated fans who have driven hundreds
of miles to show their displeasure. The folks
who wear green and white at Mosaic Stadium have
done their share of booing over the years, particularly
at quarterbacks who deserved better.
14 years ago, Henry Burris was condemned as a
money-grubbing traitor when he left Rider Nation
for a bigger pay cheque in Calgary. For the rest of
his career, Smilin’ Hank was greeted by a chorus
So-called extras
Years ago I used to enjoy travelling by air. Because
it didn’t happen all that often, it remained a bit of a
wondrous adventure. But my last flight was seven
years ago this month, and I could care less if I ever
boarded a commercial airliner again.
This past week, Air Canada and WestJet jacked
up the cost for passengers wanting to check their
baggage. The fee for the first bag went from $25 to
$30, and a second checked bag now costs $50, up
from $30. I can’t help but wonder why it happened
simultaneously, and by the same amounts. Is there
no such thing as competition any more in the airline
industry?
A closer look reveals that Canada’s carriers are
merely following the lead of their American counterparts.
Despite dramatic drops in the cost of fuel
a few years ago, the airlines all decided simultaneously
that they would not pass on the savings
to their customers in the form of cheaper tickets.

Far more despicable in my
mind was what happened at
old Taylor Field in October of
1978. The Roughriders finished
dead last that year, and it was

career. The Riders lost the game, and Lancaster was
literally booed off the field in the 4th quarter.
He was by no means the first Roughrider quarterback
to receive such treatment. In 1959, Frank
Tripucka left Regina and joined the eastern Riders
because he got tired of being booed. In 1951, even
the much-loved Glenn Dobbs was booed in the 4th
quarter of his first Labour Day contest. The reason?
He was outplayed by Indian Jack Jacobs of Winnipeg.
All in all, it’s another reason to watch with the
sound on mute.

on a long list of things that used to be ‘included’ at

never been higher. Every now and then somebody
tries to launch a true discount airline, but most of
them end up being short lived. All of it would be
easier to take if there was an alternative to flying
other than driving, but there isn’t. Even buses will
disappear on the prairies in a couple of months
when Greyhound abandons the roads.
The bottom line - staying home looks better all
the time.

Still stylish after half a century
I’ve had possession
of some real
basket case junk
over the years.
I’m talking rust,
broken windows,
doors that don’t
open, hoods
that don’t close,
carburetors that
don’t idle, and
transmissions
that don’t hold
oil or even turn
a speedometer…
The list is honestly
endless.
That being
said, for all of the
rusty junk that
I’ve claimed as
my own, only one piece of it hasn’t been
North American. I’m not sure if that’s
a badge of pride or a scarlet letter, but
regardless, there’s been only one, and
there doesn’t appear to be any more on
the horizon. It’s not the style, as Europe
and Asia have made some terrific looking
cars. It’s also not the rust issues, as
North American steel rusts just as bad
as anything. I think it’s the unknown
that I find so repellent. Odd power
trains, parts I’ve never heard of, different
electrical systems, and the fear that
certain repairs may require freight from
across the ocean.
Years ago, a guy I know had a really
cool project. It was this little Honda
hatchback from the early seventies. It
was in bare metal, and the bottom six
inches of the car had been repaired
everywhere because of rust. It didn’t
run well, the steering and brakes weren’t
that great, and it was roughly the size of
a golf cart with a lower roof line, so I’m
sure it wasn’t that comfortable. What
it had going for it, however, was style.
The hood was quite flat for a round little
car, and the hatchback interior was
quite short past the door. It sat low, and
looked more like a squished, penny racer
sports car than it did an econo box. I’ve
never seen another one, but I might not
be able to say that much longer, as Honda
have released a concept for a new one.
I’ll admit, I don’t like it nearly as much

Honda Re:Z is still a pretty cool update.
The hatch is a little longer on the new
one, and the windshield is a little flatter,
but the side profile is pretty close. From
the front, the headlights have remained
gloriously round,
and they’re split by
a plain black grille.
The bumpers are
moulded, and the
mirrors have been
moved from the
fenders to the pillars,
but other than that,
it’s obvious what
they were trying to
mimic. Out back,
the taillights haven’t
changed much in nearly half a
century, and the hatch will once again
be trimmed out in plain black plastic.
Although I don’t have many specs on
it, I’m sure it will be a lightweight, fun,
well-made car. The lightweight part of
the old one was my favourite, as I had
to help push it up a steep driveway that
it apparently had no business in backing
down. I wonder if someone will be
restoring one of these new ones forty or
fifty years from now?
