Part of the crowd that gathered to witness the unveiling of signage honouring the
memory of Canadian Rock music artist Kenny Shields.
There is a beloved and familiar face
that now greets the residents and
visitors to Nokomis. On Saturday
September 1st, signage honouring the
memory of Canadian rock music artist,
Kenny Shields, was unveiled at the
south side of the town along Highway
20. A second sign was unveiled on the
northern edge of town. A large crowd
of both fans, family, and local residents
turned out for the unveiling, which took
place at 2:00 p.m. The unveiling was
presided over by the organizer of the
project, Bonnie Decker, along with Kenny’s
Wife, Elena, goddaughter Isabella,
and his sister Sharlene.
Decker explained where the inspiration
for the project first came from.
“A year ago in March, I was at the
final Streetheart concert in Regina and
I was on the Streetheart website the
next day. Someone mentioned that they
had come through Nokomis on purpose
to see where Kenny Shields lived. And
he said he was surprised that there
was nothing up to honour him, and I
said ‘well, our small town has always
had a section of the museum dedicated
to Kenny’. But that’s true, somebody
driving through town would not know
that. So I decided that we needed to
rectify that situation. Unfortunately, we
did not get organized until after Kenny’s
passing and I felt bad about that.”
A ceremony was later held at the
Centennial Hall in Nokomis in continuation
of the actual unveiling of the sign.
During this ceremony, refreshments
were provided and a number of items
were on display showing some of the
many achievements that Kenny had
earned during his time with the band,
including a number of different awards.
Guest speakers included local MLA
Greg Brkich on behalf of the Premier
and the Province of Saskatchewan,
Senator David Tkachuk on behalf of the
Conservative Party of Canada, the Mayor
of Nokomis David Mark, Don Windsor
on behalf of the band Streetheart,
and Bonnie Decker who recognized and
thanked all who were involved with the
project.
The final speaker for the day was
Michael Rodrigues, Kenny’s stepsonin-law.
“Kenny was a very simple man. He
had a very high expectation of himself,
Kenny’s wife Elena, goddaughter Isabella, and project coordinator (far right) Bonnie
Decker, unveil the sign erected to pay tribute to Kenny Shields.
and those that he surrounded himself
with. So, to find the right words to
describe Kenny becomes a challenge
for me because, I too have high expectations
and want to make this perfect.
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been
a year since his passing. It seems like
yesterday but then again it feels like a
lifetime ago. Before his passing, I asked
Kenny if he had any special requests.
He shook my hand hard and paused. “I
love you all,” he said, “Just make sure
everyone knows that I love them, I love
them all. I don’t want to go, but I have
to.” For those of you here today, Kenny
has sent you a message. He loves you
all.”
Mayor of Nokomis, David Mark, spoke
on behalf of the Town at the ceremony
honouring Kenny Shields.

A crowd gathers at the Qu’appelle river to witness the annual dropping of the ducks.
16,240 rubber ducks!
September 3rd was an exciting day for the people of
Lumsden and area. It was the day of the annual Duck
Derby. The event kicked off with a Pancake Breakfast
at the Centennial Hall that ran from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
After the breakfast, the day began with the opening of
the outdoor Arts Festival & Entertainment, which was
held at the River Park ball diamond. 34 vendors were

on hand, all of which had various products on display
for anyone who was interested in purchasing or
just browsing. Entertainment was provided by Little
Chicago Blues, MoJo, and local Lumsden artist, Justin
Labrash.
The highlights of the day, however, were the parade
at 1:30 p.m. , and the Duck Drop which took place at
2:30 p.m. The parade included a number of floats featuring
businesses and clubs, with appearances from
the Lumsden Volunteer Fire Department, the Lumsden
and District Lions Club and the Wa Wa Shrine
Drum Corps, just to name a few.
The next big event of the day was the Duck Drop,
in which thousands of rubber ducks are loaded into a
crate and dropped into the Qu’Appelle River. Tickets
to participate could be purchased from Lumsden,

Craven and Regina businesses for $5.00 right up until the day of the Drop.
“This is probably my favorite part of the whole day where we load up all those ducks into the crate and
drop them down into the river. We have 16,240 ducks going into the river this year, so that is a fantastic
number,” Jamie Lees, one of the organizers, said. “To the rest of the volunteers who had helped in organizing
the day, and to our volunteer committee, a huge thank you. It’s definitely not just me, there are many
people that go into making this day a huge success.”
The winner of the Duck Derby $20,000 prize was Angelica Walker. There was a possibility that the
winner of the Duck Derby could have won as much as $1,000,000. However, there was no million dollar
winner this year.
The Duck Derby is the main fundraiser event for the Lumsden Sports Association, with 2017’s Duck
Derby raising over $40,000. This helped to pay down a mortgage on a new ice plant and ice-resurfacer for
the local community operated rink.

Through the eyes of our elders
There has been a great deal of change from
the years of 1928 to 2018. Ada Lou Watson
has seen it all.
Through smile lines and sparkling eyes, this 90 year old matriarch
has so many stories to tell. And, many of those stories
were shared at her 90th birthday celebration held in Regina
Beach on Saturday, September 1st. It was standing room only,
as long-time friends of Ada Lou filled the Memorial Hall to
capacity. Many found it a joy to sit with her over coffee, as she
recounted the early days of the Beach community, “I remember,
in winter,” she says, “after all the seasonal residents had left.
When we were kids we used to toboggan right down the middle
of main street!” She laughs, “You sure couldn’t do that now.
Too much traffic, even in winter.” She also has stories from her
youth, when a group of friends would take her Dad’s Model A
car, drive out on to Last Mountain Lake and attach make-shift
skis to their boots.
“Ada Lou, you broke the glass ceiling and were way ahead
of your time,” said Eunice Cameron, who delivered the main
address in honour of Ada Lou. Cameron was referring to
Watson leaving Saskatchewan to attend university in Manitoba
to achieve a degree in architecture, long before women had
chosen that type of career. There were only three girls in that
class of 180 when Ada Lou graduated. “You are an inspiration,
back then and still today.”
It’s true. Watson has been a competitive swimmer most of her
life and well into her 80’s, she still found herself competing at
World Senior events and earning a place at the podium.
Still actively involved in her community, Ada Lou is fondly
referred to as a historian, artist and good friend. “Her fortitude
is something to praise,” says Carol Draper, who leads the
choir at the United Church, a place where Ada Lou has worshipped
for years. It’s why a special song was composed, “For
this remarkable lady,” as the lyrics refer.
The remainder of the afternoon celebrations was spent enjoying
a multi-layered birthday cake, good food and conversation
with family and friends. And through it all, the deep smile
lines and sparkling eyes remained. Happy Birthday Ada Lou.
Mostly though, the crowd gathered to say, happy to know you.

NEWS BRIEFS
Two Melfort residents fined more than $15,000
A multi-year investigation by Ministry of Environment
conservation officers and undercover officers has
resulted in two Melfort residents being fined $15,705
for an illegal outfitting operation. Melfort conservation
officers initiated an investigation after receiving numerous
public complaints regarding illegal outfitting for
migratory bird hunts in the area.
In September 2017, undercover officers booked hunts
with the two individuals and paid for their outfitting
and guiding services, including arranging for hunting
locations and supplying hunting equipment. During the
hunt, one of the accused said he was okay with the undercover
officer shooting his, and his assistant’s, limit of
birds, even though they were not present on the day of
the hunt.
On September 15, 2017, officers conducted a search at
a rural property and seized a large amount of waterfowl
hunting equipment, including two firearms. During the
search, 29 filleted walleye were also discovered, putting
them over the legal possession limit of eight.
A guilty plea was entered in Melfort Provincial
Court on August 16. Garnet Roy Gunderson, age 72,
and Barbara Ann Lynne Gunderson, age 68, of Melfort,
were fined $9,800 under The Outfitter and Guide
Regulations, $3,875 under The Wildlife Act, and $2,030
under The Fisheries Act. Both individuals also received
two-year angling suspensions and a two-year firearm
prohibition. Mr. Gunderson also received a one-year
hunting suspension. Approximately $20,000 worth of
hunting equipment seized during the investigation was
also forfeited to the Crown.
NDP calls for return to public control of Wascana
Park
After widespread public outcry, including the Regina
city council vote last week in favour of restricting
further commercial development in Wascana Park, the
Saskatchewan NDP is calling on the Sask. Party government
to: re-establish a fair balance with the University
of Regina and the City of Regina by undoing the Sask.
Party’s unilateral changes to the Provincial Capital
Commission Act that gave the province a majority of
the seats on the board; work with a newly-balanced
board to end future commercial development in the
park; and make the needed public investments to maintain
the park and its buildings.
“Wascana Park is the heart of Regina and people
are rightly angry to see it being handed over to private
Last Mountain Times • Monday, September 10, 2018 • lmtimes.ca
interests,” said NDP Leader Ryan Meili. “The Sask.
Party has never had a satisfactory explanation as to
why they took control from the city and the university.
These stakeholders, and everyone who has spoken out
in defense of the park, deserve answers.”
Meili said further questions have been raised about
the Sask. Party’s handling of replacing a park legacy
building with a large commercial office building that
will be owned outright by a large corporation. They
initially claimed the new building would have the same
footprint as the existing one when seeking approval for
the development, but later admitted the new building
would actually be four times larger and have twice the
surface area.
“The Sask Party government wants to pave our Wascana
Park paradise and put up a parking lot …and more
commercial office space. We say no more,” said NDP
Provincial Capital Commission Critic Warren McCall.
“Only by restoring the balance of power and ensuring
local voices have a seat at the table, can we keep
Wascana Park in public hands for future generations to
enjoy.”
University enrolments up
Enrolment on the first day of classes at the University
of Regina for the 2018 Fall semester has surpassed
last year’s numbers with 15,475 students registered, an
increase of 286 over 2017. This is an increase of 1.9%
in terms of the number of students and a 2.4% yearover-year
increase in the number of credit hours being
taught. It is the 10th consecutive year of enrolment
increases at the U of R. Officials said a more detailed
analysis of student enrolment, including international
and Indigenous student enrolment, will be available
after the end of the 4th week of classes.
Meanwhile, as of the first day of classes on Wednesday,
Sept. 5, fall term undergraduate and graduate
enrolment at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S)
is at 21,318, up three per cent compared to the first day
of classes last year. Officials expect student numbers
to continue to grow throughout the year and anticipate
the total academic year enrolment (which includes fall,
winter, spring and summer terms) to exceed 25,000
students when announced in June 2019.
Both international and Indigenous student enrolment
increased dramatically as of the first day of classes.
2,368 international students are registered in classes,
up 5.9 per cent compared to last year, and 2,672 Indigenous
students are registered, up 11.3 per cent. U of S
international students are from 107 countries around
the world, and China, Nigeria and India are the top
three countries where students are coming from this
term, according to Pickrell.
Repairs to begin on Northern Manitoba Rail Line
On August 31, the Honourable Jim Carr, Minister of
International Trade Diversification, and the Honourable
Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental
and Northern Affairs and Internal Trade, announced
that the Arctic Gateway Group Limited Partnership has
purchased the Hudson Bay Rail Company, the Hudson
Bay Port Company and the Churchill Marine Tank Farm
from OmniTRAX Inc.
The Arctic Gateway Group is now coordinating repairs
to the Hudson Bay rail line. Construction crews
have been mobilized and work will begin immediately.
All efforts will be made to restore the rail service before
winter 2018. In the meantime, the safety and security of
residents remains Canada’s priority and current community
support programs for food, fuel and economic
development will remain in place until rail service
resumes.
Arctic Gateway Group is an historic private, public
partnership comprised of Missinippi Rail Limited Partnership
and Fairfax Financial Holdings & AGT Limited
Partnership. The consortium brings together First
Nations and community ownership and support, along
with significant private sector leadership and global investment
capacity, and further, short line rail operation
and shipping experience.
“This collaboration represents a progressive approach
towards redefining relationships with First Nations and
Inuit people in Canada,” Minister Carr stated. “It also
reinforces the significance of the rail line and its importance
in the lives of the people in northern Manitoba.”

We’re
paying too
much
The Regina bypass is a flawed
project. It is built within the
east end of the city, it only
goes around 75 per cent of
the city, and it is ridiculously
overpriced.
A lot of Saskatchewan people have driven
the Coquihalla highway in British Columbia,
and the ones who haven’t certainly are aware
of it. Everybody knows that British Columbia
has mountainous terrain, and we can all
imagine that building a highway there would
be no small feat. By comparison, building
a highway here would be quite simple and
would most certainly cost substantially less
money. At least that is what I would think. I
was very surprised to find out that the three
phases of the Coquihalla only cost $848
million to build.
So here are some facts I found on the Internet.
The last phase of the Coquihalla highway
was completed in 1990, at a total cost for
all three phases of $848 million. This was
324 kilometres of roadways through mountainous
terrain with many bridges, overpasses
etc. Adjusting this cost for inflation using
an online calculator, the cost today would be
$1.63 billion. This project included: 18 highway
interchanges, 38 bridge and overpass
structures, 19 vehicle underpasses, eight avalanche
dams, 19 containment basins, two diversion
trenches and three sets of avalanche
benches, one massive Great Bear Snowshed,
50 pipeline crossings and 324 kilometres of
four or more lanes of highway.
In comparison, the Regina bypass will cost
approximately $1.88 billion and the project
will include: 12 overpasses, 40 km of new
four-lane highway, 20 km of resurfaced fourlane
highway, 55 km of new service roads,
and twinning of about five km of Highway 6.
The Regina bypass is built on flat land with
no rock blasting, mountains to move and
valleys to fill in. This is a substantially easier
project to build but it will cost more than the
Coquihalla’s three phases?
Are the Saskatchewan taxpayers getting
good value for their dollar? Looking at the
comparison to the three phases of the 324
kilometres of the Coquihalla highway and all
the rest of the infrastructure that had to be
built, it is pretty easy to see that we are really
paying way too much for our little flatland
project!

Diversity in Canada has the
capacity to inspire the world
It’s imperative for our
political leaders to continue
being strong custodians of
Canada’s pluralistic identity
It’s a time of reckoning for Canada’s
commitment to diversity and inclusion.
A new poll shows that many among us
want to see the number of immigrants
coming into our country lowered. According
to the Angus Reid Institute, 49
per cent of surveyed Canadians want to
see the federal government’s 2018 target
of 310,000 immigrants reduced.
This statistic is both startling and
revealing because this is the first time
since Justin Trudeau became prime
minister that such a large number of
Canadians are saying there should be
fewer immigrants to Canada.
The Liberal government under
Trudeau has raised the target for new
permanent residents from approximately
250,000 under the former Conservative
government of then-prime minister
Stephen Harper. The target for 2017
was 300,000, rising to 310,000 for this
year and increasing incrementally in the
coming years to 340,000 in 2020.
Extrapolate this poll finding and you’ll
discover a troubling consensus building
across the political spectrum. Past
Conservative voters are most critical
of immigration levels, and past Liberal
Public health must become a priority
But across Canada a system that can help ensure a healthy population is being denied
funding and support
In 2010, Canada’s ministers of Health stated in a Declaration
on Prevention and Promotion that “the promotion of
health and the prevention of disease, disability and injury
are a priority and necessary to the sustainability of the health
system.”
So you would think that public health would be a clear
priority in Canada’s health-care system. However, Canada’s
governments have not acted in accordance with those fine
words.
Public health is the only part of the health-care system
that’s wholly concerned with preventing death, disease and
injury. While most apparent in infectious disease control, it
plays a leading role in the fight against tobacco, chronic diseases,
obesity, injury, substance abuse, addictions and mental
disorders.
Not only does public health improve the health of the population,
it’s one of the best ways to sustain our publicly-funded
health-care system.
supporters are four times more likely to
prefer a reduction to an increase, as are
past NDP voters.
What’s even more of a concern is that
Canadians seem to be shying away from
providing hope and a safe haven for
the world’s most vulnerable. While the
global refugee crisis exacerbates and the
need for humanitarian aid increases, a
significant number want to see Canada’s
helping hand pulled back. Conversely
and encouragingly, the other half of
Canadians say we should accept more
refugees and humanitarian-class immigrants,
or at least maintain the current
levels.
While the politics of hate and division
continue to be fuelled by the current
leadership of our southern neighbour
and by the far-right movements in
Europe, it’s imperative for our political
leaders to continue being strong custodians
of Canada’s pluralistic identity.
This new poll shows a fraying of our
commitment to diversity and inclusion.
It’s also a clarion call that we can’t take
diversity and inclusion for granted. If
we want to continue to stand out as a
beacon of pluralistic values, we need
to find out why an increasing number
of Canadians want to shut the door on
newcomers.
At the same time, we need to empower
the other half of Canadians whose
thoughts, words and actions personify
EDITORIALS, LETTERS & OPINIONS
that diversity is Canada’s main strength.
If we help Canadians consider perspectives
other than their own and encourage
civil debate, it will broaden the
basis for critical thought and promote
cultural understanding.
It will also bring attention to Canadian
competencies that have helped
remove racial tensions and barriers to
entry into the job market, and the development
of policies on integration, immigration
and acceptance of refugees.
Our pluralistic values didn’t happen
by accident. And they won’t continue
without concerted and increased efforts
to showcase civility over divisiveness,
compassion over tolerance, and love
over hatred.
That will illustrate that Canadians
cherish the fact that the strength of any
majority is how it treats its established
minorities and newcomers.
And it will ultimately show that
diversity in Canada has the capacity to
inspire the world.

On average in 2015, the health-care system consumed
37 per cent of provincial program expenditures, a proportion
that all provinces are struggling to contain. Because as
health-care funding’s share of the budget increases, it squeezes
other sectors whose contributions to health and well-being
are just as important: housing, education, social services and
others.
There’s only so much the provinces can do to reduce the
cost of health care through efficiencies before they have to
reduce services and access.
But there’s a better way: reduce the burden of disease,
which is the work of public health.
In addition, there are significant economic benefits from
prevention, not only from avoided health-care costs but in
avoided loss of production, income and tax revenue.
Public health is being weakened across Canada. It receives
only three to four per cent of health-care funding, and in
some provinces and health authorities, much less. Public

“Pressure? What pressure?”
says Henderson
Kim Boutin of Sherbrooke, Que., won three medals
— a silver and two bronze — at the Winter Olympics
last February in South Korea, but she should be
in line for another silver when it comes time to vote
for Canada’s female athlete of the year for 2018.
Brooke Henderson, step up to the gold medal
podium.
Faced with every good reason in the world to
choke in the final round of the CP Canadian Open at
the Wascana Golf Club in Regina, Henderson, the
pride of Smiths Falls, Ont., showed her mettle by
firing a sensational final-round seven-under-par 65
to win the title in a romp. She became the first Canadian
woman to win the national open in 45 years
(Jocelyn Bourassa did it in 1973).
The eyes of a nation have been on Henderson
since she broke onto the pro golf scene in 2015 as
a brash 17-year-old. She won once in her first year
on the LPGA tour, won her first major the following
year and now has seven tour titles, one shy of the
Canadian record held by Sandra Post. Her victory
in Regina moved her to No. 8 in the world.
Henderson took a one-stroke lead into Sunday’s
final round in Regina and won by four. It’s tough
enough to sleep on a third-round lead, but when
you’re attracting Tiger-like galleries to watch your
every shot, when TSN is rearranging its Sunday
morning broadcast schedule to offer coast-to-coast
coverage, when the national newspaper has a poster-sized
photo of you on the front page of its sports
section, when the Golf Channel commentators are
proclaiming every five minutes that you’re the pride
of Canada, and when you’re a 20-year-old who has
faced pressure before, but not this kind of intense,
national pressure, well, there’s every reason in the
world to shoot something like 78 or 80 on the final
day and finish 14th.
But Henderson did nothing of the sort, going out
in two under par and, playing through a steady rain,
made four more birdies on the back, including a
three-footer for a championship statement on the
18th hole.
“Truly amazing, a dream come true,” said Henderson.
“The crowds were incredible all week.”
So was Henderson. And that’s why when it comes
time to vote for Canada’s female athlete of the
year this December, Canada’s best female golfer
should come out ahead of a three-medal-winning
speedskater.

health funding in Nova Scotia is among the lowest in the country, at 1.5 per cent of health-care spending in
2010-11. Quebec’s regional public health units were hit by severe budget cuts of 33 per cent in 2015, while
the British Columbia auditor general reported last year that while all the care sectors within the system
had increases in funding between 2012-13 and 2015-16, public health funding actually decreased.
It’s not only a matter of funding. Recent editorials and commentaries in the Canadian Journal of Public
Health point to other problems, including downgrading the status of public health within governments
and health authorities, eroding the independence of medical officers of health and limiting the scope of
public health.
For example, the New Brunswick government recently dismantled the Office of the Chief Medical Officer
of Health, moving some 70 of the 110 staff out of the Ministry of Health and spreading them across three
different ministries. This prompted a former chief medical officer of health for New Brunswick to label
these changes “a recipe for disaster.” But despite this and other strong expressions of concern from public
health leaders across Canada, the New Brunswick government has gone ahead with its changes.
Nationally, the chief public health officer for Canada was downgraded by the former Conservative government
from leading the Public Health Agency of Canada to being little more than an adviser to the president
of agency. Inexplicably the Liberal government - which established the agency in 2004 - has failed to
reverse this change in status and authority.
So significant is the crisis facing public health that last year, Canada’s chief medical officers of health
- who rarely speak out publicly against the provincial and territorial governments for which they work -
wrote in the Canadian Medical Association Journal imploring “health ministers to reaffirm commitment
to the principles outlined in the declaration.”
Public health cannot fulfil its vitally important role with one hand tied behind its back. Our health-care
system and the health of our population depend upon a strong public health sector.
Canada’s governments need to make public health a priority.

You also should think about
the present
What is the shortest path to peace of mind? Surprisingly,
it is to stop thinking. It is the mind itself
that creates its own turmoil. The mind works in the
service of the ego, evaluating everything as positive
or negative. If the mind decides that a situation or
outcome is negative, this may then trigger the emotions.
An emotional reaction fuels more thinking,
leading to more emotions, and on and on. Most
often the mind is focusing on the past, or else into
the future.
We have no control over either. Worry about the
past leads to guilt, regret or resentment. Worry
about the future produces anxiety. Perhaps this is
why so many of the wisdom traditions emphasize
the importance of just being in the present moment.
This is not always easy to do. Just notice your own
mind, as you try to stay focused on just what you
are doing in any moment. Notice how often, like a
curious little puppy, it has wandered from where
you told it to stay.
And yet, if you can simply pay attention to the
weeds you are pulling, the dishes you are washing,

the child you are playing with,
or the traffic around you, you
will notice how much more
peaceful you feel. Not thinking
about what happened back
at the office, how you will
get those grass stains out, or
who you are angry with, will
free you to just be present in
the moment. Try doing this
throughout the day. You will

The Silton Legion Branch #33 had a good
year of activity in and around the communities
of Silton, Bulyea and Strasbourg.
Branch activities from fall 2017 to date included:
hosting the annual Remembrance Day Service at
Silton United Church and Act of Remembrance at
Bulyea Cenotaph last November 11th; sponsoring
participants from William Derby School at the
annual Track and Field Camp; and presentation of
our second annual scholarship award at William
Derby School in June.
Branch members took part in annual school
organized Remembrance Day Services at William
Derby School in Strasbourg and Bulyea Elementary
School. Some Branch members have attended
District and Zone rallies as well. A resolution originating
from our Branch to include a video contest
in the annual Remembrance Contest was accepted
and passed at the Dominion Level Branch members
took part in July 1 parades in Strasbourg and Bulyea. Our annual fund raiser raffle of a cash prize
once again was given out on Mother’s Day in May. The proceeds from this and other small activities go toward
Branch sponsored improvements and projects in the area. We also celebrated long service members
Henry Bergey at 5 years, and Bev Rolfe at 15 years. Our Branch members appreciate very much the support
of our communities in our Legion activities.
Some of our recent projects and improvements in the area include a clean-up and landscaping of the
Bulyea Cenotaph area with the inclusion of picnic tables, repairs to the cenotaph and future plans for more
seating areas. A display case of memorabilia has been created in Silton Community Hall, and some benches
will be installed in the near future in the green space near the Silton Hall.
An important project to our Branch in the past year has been a Veteran Remembrance Program which

A vendor at the Rowan’s Ravine farmers Market using vintage popcorn and snow cone
machines to run the venue.
On the cool and cloudy day of Saturday, September 1st, a small community Farmer’s
Market was held at Rowan’s Ravine, in the parking lot just east of the beach.
There were various vendors present selling a number of different products including
but not limited to, clothing, baked goods, wood carvings, beauty products, and
jewelry.
Each vendor in attendance had something unique to offer. One vendor, selling
candy, popcorn, and snow cones, was using vintage machines to make the popcorn
and the snow cones. Another vendor had numerous wood carvings on display. The
most intricate carving was a custom wooden clock that not only told the time, but
also acted as a calendar. There were approximately 16 vendors in attendance at the
market, however there are a total of 26 vendors who are involved with it.
The Market saw a steady stream of people coming and going throughout the
day from 9:00 a.m. in the morning when the market opened, to 3:00 p.m. when it
closed.
One vendor said that the market is especially great for families who are looking
for something to do when it’s raining and is too cold to go to the beach ….a perfect

From Foundation

The colours of Autumn this year are no
longer limited to yellow, orange and
red - at least that is the case on the
pathway which runs alongside the lake at
Regina Beach. That landscape is tinged with
deep blues, flourescent pink, purple and lime
green. It’s because of something called the
Kindness Rock Project.
It was an impromptu thing started by
Buena Vista resident Geneva Haukeness. “I
can’t take full credit for this idea,” she says,
“It actually came from my husband’s cousin,
who lives in Minot and when she came and
visited us this summer she had seen all my
painted rocks and told me about the Rock
Project they do in Minot.”
That idea was to leave rocks with messages
of kindness, love and inclusion in areas
where the public could see them, “I thought
it was a great thing to start in Regina Beach
and area!”she says.
The first rocks she painted and left for others
were planted in early August. “I started
hiding rocks along the walking path and
along main street and outside of some of the
local stores and restaurants just to get people
excited about finding rocks. They can take a
picture of it and post it on the Facebook page,
keep the rock or re-hide it for someone else to
find! My goal is just to put a smile on someone’s
face! I’d also like to see how far these
rocks will travel. Who knows, someone may
find a rock and re-hide it in a town or city
across the country!”
Since then, dozens of painted rocks have
been spotted along the bike path in Regina
Beach and Buena Vista. Local residents have
been taking part and placing their message
of kindness for all to see. A message which
Haukeness has now been asked to deliver
to school children in Regina Beach. “I have
been asked by South Shore School and the
Preschool if I would come in the first day
of school and talk to the kids and tell them
about the Kindness Rock Project as this
year’s focus is Kindness.”
What started out as a simple idea has turned taking a walk along the pathway into
some kind of wonderment and a reminder that kindness is easy to give. “It makes
me so happy that this has taken off like it has,” says Haukenesss, “and that people
are participating and sharing and having fun with it! I love this community!”

Nokomis Seniors held a Wizard card party at the Centre on August 21, with 12 players taking part.
Winners were Maureen Tait, Judie Purdie and Jim Tait tied for second. Everyone enjoyed the games and
the rhubarb cake, home-made chocolate chip cookies, blue berry bran muffins, coffee and tea at half-time.
(I’ll always remember Kay Hamilton’s remark that she is not really a card player …she just comes for the
lunch!)
On Thursday the 23rd, eight players enjoyed an afternoon of cribbage. Winners were Graham Thomson,
Dave Smith, and Irvin Kelln of Govan. On the 28th, eight players came for an afternoon of ‘Court Whist’
and the winners (skill or luck?) were Claude McNichol, Ross Reynolds, and Jim Tait. Marvin Gilbertson
and Lylie Herman missed the games as they headed into Regina for Lylie’s grandson’s birthday party.
On August 31st, about twenty people attended the monthly birthday party at the Centre. Entertainment
was provided by Al and Eva Shumaker of Lanigan. Everyone enjoyed a great afternoon of visiting over
coffee, cake, ice cream, and strawberries! Birthday celebrants included Hazel Pomfret, Anne Fines, Hazel
Chute, Lorri Walker, Ross Reynolds, and Lylie Herman. Ken Edwards was unable to attend. Next birthday
party is at the end of November.
Crop Report
For the period August 28 To September 3, 2018
-club reporter Ilene Harding
Overheard at the coffee shop
Despite a cool and damp week in much of the
province, producers took advantage of breaks in
the weather to make considerable harvest progress
this week, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s
Weekly Crop Report. Thirty-nine per cent of the
crop is now in the bin, well ahead of the five-year
(2013-2017) average of 25 per cent for this time
of year. Thirty-two per cent of the crop is now
swathed or ready to straight-cut.
Harvest is most advanced in the southwestern
region, where 60 per cent of the crop is now combined.
The southeastern region has 56 per cent
combined, the west-central and the east-central
regions has 32 per cent. The northeastern region
has 14 per cent combined, while the northwestern
region has eight per cent combined.
Ninety-seven per cent of fall rye, 92 per cent of
winter wheat, 83 per cent of lentils, 86 per cent of
field peas, 53 per cent of mustard, 49 per cent of
durum, 46 per cent of barley, 28 per cent of spring
wheat and 19 per cent of canola have now
been combined. Twenty-six per cent of
oats, 30 per cent of chickpeas, eight per
cent of canaryseed and five per cent of
flax have been combined. Fifty-seven
per cent of canola, 34 per cent of spring
wheat and 11 per cent of mustard are swathed or
ready to straight-cut. Not much progress has been
made on soybeans, with harvest progress at five per
cent combined, similar to the previous week.
Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions
on cropland are rated as 22 per cent adequate, 47
per cent short and 31 per cent very short. Hay land
and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 18 per cent
adequate, 41 per cent short and 41 per cent very
short.
The majority of crop damage this past week was
due to lack of moisture and strong wind. There
were some reports of frost causing damage in parts
of the province. Producers are busy swathing and
combining crops.
SaskPower reports four cases of farm machinery
coming in contact with power equipment over
the last week, bringing the total in August to 22.
SaskPower reminds everyone to take their time and
to be aware of overhead power lines crossing fields
and farm yards this harvest season.

MINISTERIAL MESSAGES
Act on What You Hear
James 1: 19-21 says: Post this at all
the intersections, dear friends: Lead
with your ears, follow up with your
tongue, and let anger straggle along in
the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t
grow from human anger. So throw all
spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in
the garbage. In simple humility, let our
gardener, God, landscape you with the
Word, making a salvation-garden of
your life.
James’ words are strong and encouraging
advice that we often do not heed.
There are times when we hear people
complain about government policies
and perhaps we have also done it. We
become anger and discouraged and
speak out, often before we think what
our words will say or the hurt they will
bring. Perhaps James is giving us the
advice to get involved, ask the questions,
and be willing to listen with open ears.
In our society today, the young people
struggle with their identity, the every
day life of fitting in. The pressures of
measuring up and being told: you are
the next generation to govern us, can you
carry that load? We can be sensitive to
their aspirations and help them create a
society that is in tune with their dreams.
Children go to bed hungry, and others
are obese, children are without housing
and parents. There are children who
have only known refugee camps and the
noise of guns. Have seen their parents
and siblings die at the hands of the
terrorists. As we sit in our peaceful surroundings,
is there some small thing we
can do to redress the balance of a world
where this is happening to children.
We live in a world where the ingredients
that are put in our food to improve
the taste can also compromise our
health. We don’t always know if it is safe,
and the use of chemicals is an every day
occurrence on our food. We are small
voices, but we can make a difference.
Look at the man who took a company to
task for the use of a chemical in his food
and won. I believe the company is contesting
the decision but he still made his
voice known. He believed in the system
and did not back down.
Our prisons are filled to capacity,
and there are those that believe the key
should be thrown away. There are those
that believe that they should not be
educated or taught a trade while being
incarcerated. We should work with those
who believe that prison be less a place
for punishment and more a community
where prisoners are fitted for a new way
of life. When they are released from
prison they can be productive people in
our society.
Many things we can do as we listen
and speak out for those who need our
voice in their lives. We can visit the
lonely at home, we can stand with those
who are depressed or disillusioned. We
can be a friend to those who have lost a
loved one or a pet. We can give to church
mission funds for the possibilities for
health, employment and shelter. We can
partner with the local community in
supporting the vulnerable and lost.
We believe that change is possible,
Loving God. We will change. Amen.

Prairie Valley School
Division is Kind
Setting the Stage for the 2018-2019 School Year
Kindness is front and centre in the Prairie
Valley School Division as staff and students head
back to class this week to start the 2018-2019
school year.
“Be kind to one another, because being kind is
something we all can do,” said Director of Education
Ben Grebinski in his opening address to
administrators this year, making this the school
division’s statement of purpose for the 2018-2019
school year. “There is a lot of hurt out there and I
think the world needs a gentler approach. It’s our
job to be kind.”
Each year, Grebinski sets the stage with his
statement of purpose. This year, his focus on
kindness was formed through his work with the
Division’s social workers, child and family support
workers and other learning supports staff, who noted teaching kindness and
empathy would be helpful in an inclusive school division like Prairie Valley.
The direction has picked up steam across the Division with teachers and administrators
alike sharing their gratitude for the direction. “So proud to work in a division
that places kindness in the centre of all we do,” said Kelliher School Principal Lindy
Olafson.
The team at South Shore School in Regina Beach is already partnering with the
community to create kindness rocks, which students hide around the community
for others to find. “We had been thinking all summer about how we could bring
more kindness to the classroom. When we found out that was the statement of
purpose this year, we were elated,” said Nicole Young, the principal of South Shore
School. “So we thought we would start the year off with a kindness initiative.”
Students at that school spent time on their first day back painting kind messages
on rocks that they later hid among the community for others to find and keep.
Others in the Division have created bulletin boards showcasing the statement of
purpose, while the learning supports team made up of child and family services
workers, social workers, speech-language pathologists, psychologists and teachers
also have big plans. They are preparing kindness messages for each school, information
and activity packages for International Random Acts of Kindness Week and
kindness boards in schools, which help guide student learning around being kind
and empathetic.
“We need to remind ourselves that we are here for others; no matter the role,
everyone working in education impacts the lives of children and youth, from bus
drivers and caretakers to teachers and administrators,” said Grebinski. “If we understood
the hurt that exists in any given heart at any given time, we would never
want to add to it.”

was begun in 2017 with placement of markers on all the graves of World War I veterans
in the Silton, Bulyea and Strasbourg area. Cemeteries visited to date include
Silton, Marieton, Bulyea, East Mount, Strasbourg (Crescent Road), Old Strassburg
and Ravineside. The markers, made of stainless steel, are designed with a poppy
and “WW I”. Branch members placed these markers near the headstones of WW I
veterans on graves in the area in the summers of 2017 and 2018. Silton Legion #33
will continue to make and erect these markers for deceased Veterans from these
communities who took part in WW II. Our project will continue with deceased
Veterans from conflicts and service to our country after WW II to present day. The

Canola industry concerned
When the Pest Management Regulatory Agency
(PMRA) released its proposed decision to phase out
the outdoor use of clothianidin and thiamethoxam,
two products used by canola growers to prevent
damage caused by flea beetles, it caused more than
a ripple of concern in the farm sector.
It is not of course the first time a much used
chemical has later been banned from use, Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane,
commonly known as
DDT, being perhaps the most obvious one. It was
developed as an agent prior to 1900, and was made
available to the public in the United States for use
in 1945. It was, over time, found to be having an environmental
impact on birds such as the bald eagle,
and was eventually banned in the U.S. around 1973,
when the courts made a final ruling on its ban.
Some might draw a rather straight parallel between
DDT and neonics in the sense both are chemicals
that research has suggested impacts species
other than those its application seeks to control.
There have been a number of reports where neonics
are being blamed, at least in part, for the sudden
decline in some bee populations. The canola sector
is a key stakeholder in this debate as the chemicals
are used for flea beetle control in the crop. To their
credit they want science to be at the heart of whatever
decision is made. But therein lies the heart of
the concern as well.
There have been bans placed in Europe, but the
U.S. does not seem headed down that path. It would
seem reasonable that all regulatory bodies have
access to the same pure science,
which means interpretation,
or the comfort level with the
potential risk is what drives
decisions. And, it is the comfort
zone of the risk involved here
that seems key. There is risk
in all things, from crossing the
street to taking a shower. It
understanding those risks and
being comfortable the benefits
outweigh them that is the key.
AG NOTES
CALVIN DANIELS
It may well be neonics offer more risk than their
continued use is worth. Then the question farmers
face, and regulatory bodies won’t be answering, if
what tool to control the pests are left to farmers?
“The proposed decisions are of concern for the
canola industry as a ban will reduce yield and increase
the risks faced by growers. A study published
in 2017 based on European growers’ experience
without these products showed that growers faced
an increased risk of insect damage, had lower yields
and, as a result, seeded less canola. With more
than 22 million acres of canola in Canada in 2018,
banning these plant protection tools would have a
dramatic impact,” noted a news release from the
Canola Council of Canada.
That would suggest limited options for control
exist post ban, and that too presents its own risks.

Ford pre-tension
As a prairie person all my life, I sometimes feel
that I haven’t really lived. I have owned ten vehicles
in 48 years, and not one of them was a pickup truck.
The most popular vehicle in North America, if not
the world, is the Ford F150. But it may not be number
one forever. Right now it’s a huge headache for
the company that Henry Ford started in Dearborn,
Michigan more than a century ago. Two million
of their F150’s are being recalled, and 340,000 of
them were sold here in Canada. The reason is the
seat belts that have a bit of a tendency to catch fire.
Excuse me?
It seems the vehicle manufacturers are always
at war with the highway safety people, but it took
a while to make the case about these much-loved
trucks. In announcing the recall, Ford admitted
that there have been 23 reports of smoke or fire
linked to the seat belts in the F 150. Three of the
trucks were basically destroyed. One owner in
Grand Rapids Michigan reported that his truck
burned up in a matter of minutes after a deer ran
into the driver’s door. But the company is not aware
of any deaths or injuries. Somehow that’s not a
Taking it off
Confession time in the era of “Me Too”. Half a
century ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth
and I was a student at the University of Manitoba, I
was known to hang out occasionally in beer parlours
where women were paid to take their clothes
off. The good news is, it was a vice that I quickly
outgrew, along with polyester suits and menthol
cigarettes.
Some of the guys called them ‘peeler bars’ and it’s
a form of entertainment that seems to be quickly
dying. All across Canada, the hospitality industry
is changing. Besides the strippers, neighbourhood
pubs used to be popular gathering places where you
might socialize and dance to a promising new band.
But crackdowns on drinking and driving and other
factors including a ban on smoking have taken a
toll. If it weren’t for VLT’s and break-open tickets,
many of the remaining ‘locals’ on the prairies would
most likely have to close their doors.
Back to strip bars. The one prairie province where
we were protected from such temptation was dear
old Saskatchewan, thanks to a strange conspiracy
of hospitality laws. Decades ago it was decided that
dancers could shed their clothes, but customers

comforting or reassuring.

stories about airbags. This recall will cost Ford
about $140 million U.S. The Americans once had a
President named Ford who was not related to Henry.
His name was Gerry and when he moved into
the White House after pardoning Richard Nixon,
he smiled and said “I’m a Ford, but not a Model T”.
Today he might be glad that he’s not a pickup truck.

were not allowed to drink. The original motivation
was mostly based on moral objections in the land of
the bible belt, but as time went on the powers that
be came up with new and more intriguing reasons
for making sure everyone kept their clothes on.
They said the industry was far too closely connected
to organized crime, ‘the mob’ if you will.
Then came the suggestion that allowing strip bars
would encourage ‘human trafficking’. During his
last term as Premier, before he headed off to the
golden sunset of Swift Current, Brad Wall changed
the rules to finally allow stripping and drinking in
the same room, but he flip-flopped almost immediately,
and things returned to what had gone before.
Now, in 2018, it seems that almost nobody cares
any more.

Monster Movies and
Monster Jeeps
With winter fast approaching, it’s time
for some people out there to lock in the
hubs and check to make sure everything
is functional on their four wheel drive.
A number of years ago, I had a really
cool winter unit. It was a 4x4 S-Series
GMC Jimmy with a fuel injected V8
conversion. It had a torsion bar lift up
front, re-arched leaf springs out back,
oversized tires, 3.73 gears, and a posi
differential. The exhaust was loud,
the ride was stiff and uncomfortable,
and it was drafty enough that only the
front seats were warm. It was fast like a
souped up Camaro, but it was able to do
it through mud or snow banks as well as
on pavement. Had it a bed on the back
instead of the SUV body, I’d have kept it.
I’ve always wanted to re-visit that idea,
but with an older pickup body on the
S-Series 4x4 chassis. The old Jeep J10’s
are pretty cool, as well, and definitely
have the room for a GM V8. They’re so
cool, in fact, that they’re making a (sort
of) comeback.
Bruiser Conversions have recently unveiled
what they’re calling the “Bruiser
Honcho”. Basically, it’s a big, nasty Jeep
Wrangler with a tough looking pickup
bed and roll bar on the back, and the
snout reminiscent of the old J10. Not
only does it look the part, but it can also
play the part. Up front, a fabricated
steel bumper protects that retro front
sheet metal with an integrated push bar.
There’s also a winch, if you were to get
into trouble, and who wouldn’t try to in a
giant Jeep pickup? Getting into trouble
at night is also an option, as there’s a
huge LED light bar mounted above the
windshield. The tires are enormous, the
ground clearance is more than sufficient,
and under the hood you can have your
choice of a GM LS3 V8, or a Cummins

Nokomis Social News items
On September 1st, Stu and Maureen McLellan hosted a pot-luck supper at their
cottage at Last Mountain Regional Park. Attending were Fred and Joyce Johnson
of Strasbourg (former LMRP cottage owners); Don Delhomeau, Carman and Andy
Gorman, Heather Hodgins, Sharon and Wayne Busch, and myself. Janet and Reg
Potter were unable to attend. We do the pot-luck supper thing every year at the park
at cottage close-up time. We used to call it the “clean out your fridge pot luck” !!
Where did our summer go?!
Adam, Kendall, Carter and Zoey Kuntz were in Nokomis on the September long
weekend to do the final clean-out of their house, garage and yard on 6th Street East.
Last year they moved to Calgary to start a new business (Adam said they are very
busy!) and Kendall says they are enjoying their new home.
Best wishes to Lisa and Ella Bart on their new venture as they move to Eston, SK
to make their new home. Always sad to see good people leave our community, but
we wish all good health, happiness and new friends!
I am happy to hear that a new, young family is moving into the house across the
street, and we wish the Jabs family all the best in their new home.
Lorna and Merv Sigstad of Quill Lake were in Nokomis for a couple of days recently.
They attended the unveiling of the new Kenny Shields commemorative signs. Jim
Chute and Brenda (Chute) Olde from Nipawin also came for the event.
