Harvest operations were at a standstill in many areas around central Saskatchewan last week, as intermittent rainshowers and cooler temperatures kept equipment off the fields. This 

field in the Semans - Raymore area will be perfectly suited for harvesting once better weather moves into the area. 

Rising from the ashes 

For the residents of Lumsden and area, the fires of 

April 2018 will not be forgotten anytime soon. But 

for Tiffany and Linely Schaefer, the fires will never be 

forgotten. 

The main store at the entrance to Happy Hollows. 

The Schaefers were some of the many residents who 

were affected by the fires. The owners of the Happy 

Hollows Corn Maze, Linely and Tiffany had run the 

Hollows for three years when the fire swept through, 

causing severe damage and property loss for them. 

Acquired in 2016, and going under the name Pumpkin 

Hollows, the Schaefers had run the business for a year 

when they decided to change the name. 

“We heard that Lumsden used to be called ‘Happy 

Hollow’, so we definitely wanted to go somewhere in 

changing the name and making [at the time Pumpkin 

Hollows] it our own,” Tiffany said. “When we found 

that out, we thought, ‘that’s perfect’! We didn’t want 

to change [the name] too much, and have people get 

confused. If Lumsden was originally called Happy 

Hollow, [which] I had heard from a few people, it 

made sense to go in that direction.” 

It was on April 26 of 2018 that the Schaefer’s would 

have a hard blow struck against them, when the grass 

and brush fires that struck the area came in and 

destroyed both their garage and tractor as well as 

causing damage to the side of their house. 

“I was shocked,” said Tiffany. “Our neighbours who 

had been around for 20 plus years had never seen anything 

like this before.” 

With 50 per cent of the damage being covered by 

their insurance, the Schaefers remained optimistic. 

After clearing away the damage, it was discovered that 

most of the damage that was caused to the Hollows 

was to the vegetation, and would grow back with time. 

“ We were lucky,” said Tiffany, “It could have been a 

lot worse.” 

The Schaefers received help in rebuilding from 

neighbours and community members, so much so that 

they did something special for them. “ We dedicated 

[our maze] design to all the neighbours and departments 

and everybody who came out. There was a lot of 

help for us.” 

Happy Hollows is now back on its feet and in full 

swing, and can be visited throughout the month of 

September and into October until the 14th.

NDP wins third 

by-election 

Yens Pedersen with the 

Saskatchewan New Democratic 

Party will be the new 

MLA for the Regina Northeast 

constituency when 

the Legislature reconvenes 

before year-end. He won the 

Regina Northeast byelection 

with nearly 54 per Yens Petersen 

cent of the vote (2,676) last 

Wednesday. 

Gary Grewal, trying to retain the seat for Saskatchewan 

Party, got 39 per cent (1,945) of the 

vote. Pedersen replaces Kevin Doherty, who left 

politics in March for a job in the private sector. 

Pedersen is a lawyer and small business owner 

who has previously run for election under the 

NDP banner in Regina South, losing in the 2007 

and 2011 elections. He also took a run at the provincial 

part leadership in 2009. 

Turnout in the by-election was almost 40 per 

cent, a typically low turnout for a byelection. The 

NDP previously held the Regina Northeast constituency 

from 1967 to 1982 and again from 1985 

to 2011.

Gone fishin’ 

...for cash and prizes 

September 7 marked the start of a long-standing 

fishing tournament - the 31st Last Mountain Fall 

Walleye Classic. Hosted at the Rowan’s Ravine 

G&S Marina by tournament managers Doug Cramer 

and Kelly Turcotte, the event ran from Friday September 

7 to Saturday September 8 and was sponsored by 

a number of different businesses. 

Also in attendance of the tournament was special 

guest and MC for the event Don Lamont, the former 

host and producer of the TV show The Complete 

Angler and current editor of Hooked magazine. The 

tournament attracted 150 teams, comprised of 300 

fishermen. The event opened at 10:00 a.m. on Friday 

with fish weigh-ins, and Saturday followed the same 

timetable. Saturday also included a wine tasting event 

at 4:30 p.m. for women attending the Last Mountain 

Fall Walleye Classic Awards evening. After two long 

days of fishing, the Awards Ceremony began at 6:30 

p.m. on Saturday and included tournament participation 

draws for teams who were in attendance. Prizes

An 11.22 pound walleye caught on Friday. 

for the tournament consisted of over $118,000 worth 

of cash and gift items, with the largest cash prize 

valued at $29,000. 

Jay Dermody and Jared Gawley took first place with 

a two-day weight of 54.4 lbs. Terry Magel and Ryan 

Stagg took second place, 2 lbs short of first place. Stacy 

and Shane Hastings finished third with a two total 

weight of 49.4 lbs. Rounding out the top five finishers, 

were Larry Johnson and Troy Robinson (47.74 lbs) and 

Paul Brunette and Luke Sholter (47.6 lbs). 

Turcotte spoke to some of the challenges the tournament 

faced in getting started this year. “Finding 

volunteers is the hardest part. We’re raising money for 

the Strasbourg Rec and Rink Committee, so those are 

our volunteers. And unfortunately, because school has 

started and with the event starting on Friday, the difficulty 

is getting volunteers because they are in school 

and their parents are working. But other than that, 

everything really came together.” 

Turcotte also said that she hopes the tournament 

brings more people into the fishing community, and 

gets them interested in taking up fishing. “Fishing,” 

she said. “if you do it right, is fun!”

Govan Town Council 

Sept. 11 meeting notes 

Govan Town Council met for its regular 

monthly meeting on September 11 

with all councillors present. Mayor Del 

Skoropata chaired the meeting, with 

staff person Kelly Holbrook, Administrator 

also in attendance. 

Administrator Holbrook gave a brief 

financial report, noting revenue of 

$37,124 for the period ending August 

31. Revenue included $6,760 from the 

gas tax rebate program, grants in lieu of taxes from Canada Post and SaskTel, and a $27,873 bequest from 

an estate as a donation to the Govan Cemetery Fund. Expenses for the same period were $97,954 most of 

which was $68,793 in final payments to contractors for work on the water treatment plant upgrades. There 

was also a $4,735 expense for a section of new sidewalk. The Town’s bank reconciliation numbers were 

reported as follows: as of July 31st: $187,971 and as of August 31st: $173,981. 

Town Foreman Cody Vowles reported that summer maintenance work is wrapping up, and that he 

recently installed about 20 new / replacement street signs in town. He noted that one of the old signs for 

Amherst Street is actually misspelled as ‘Ammerst’ Street ….apparently no one has noticed until now! 

Some people have expressed an interest in obtaining an old street sign as a souvenir, so Council agreed 

to establish a process whereby people could do that (contact the Town Office for more information). The 

Foreman also reported on two water main breaks on September 9 and 10 which resulted in water service 

being disrupted in the north east portion of town. The breaks were quickly repaired by TSL Mechanical of 

Lanigan and water service was restored. However, as a result of the breaks, the Town had to issue a temporary 

boil water order which was expected be lifted by week’s end. The Foreman noted that the breaks 

were the result of ‘rusty saddles’ (clamps that hold two sections of pipe together) and not due to the new 

reverse-osmosis water supply. 

Administrator Holbrook gave an update on the water meter project. She noted that the Town may be 

able to obtain about 29 meters in advance of the entire order being received, so that the meters may be 

installed in the near future. A tender will be issued for a contractor to do the water meter installations. 

She also reported that: the Orders to Remedy discussed at the previous meeting had all been complied 

with; that a list of properties with tax arrears has been prepared for publishing; that SaskPower has sent 

a notice advising of their plans to replace 3 power poles in town; and that a notice had been received from 

the provincial government noting a change in the 911 Call Service (still located in Prince Albert, but being 

handled by a different service provider). 

In other business, council received and approved a written offer to purchase (for $100) a vacant lot at 

225 Dufferin St. The buyer, an adjacent property owner, plans to use the property to enlarge his yard. 

Govan Town Council plans to meet again on Tuesday evening, October 9th. 

RM220 McKillop upate 

Changes are happening in RM220 

With the recent turmoil in the management and finances of the RM of McKillop, I checked in with 

Reeve Howard Arndt late last week for a quick update. 

LMT: Reeve Arndt, there was a time in the past number of weeks that the RM office was open to the 

public only for limited hours. Has that changed and have any of the staffing issues been sorted out? 

Reeve Arndt: Yes, I’m pleased to announce that we are now back on regular business hours, Monday 

to Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM. And, to help out Jane Laich, our interim administrator, the RM recently 

hired an administration Assistant. Jackie will be the first person you meet when you walk through the 

doors. She comes to us from a neighbouring municipality, is customer services oriented, and brings 

along knowledge, experience. In addition, our new development officer starts Monday, September 17, 

2018. Bobbi also comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience and will be working to ensure that 

the administrative side of your development projects is handled professionally, efficiently, and in a timely 

manner. 

LMT: Municipal elections are coming up in October, and I see that the RM is advertising a Call for 

Nominations. Any other developments on the upcoming elections? 

Reeve Arndt: There have been a significant number of requests for an advanced poll to be held in the 

City of Regina. As provided by the Local Government Elections Act, the Returning Officer for the municipality 

has now authorized the establishment of an advanced poll in the city of Regina in October for the 

upcoming municipal election and referendum votes. 

LMT: So, overall, do you feel that things are progressing well with the administrative review, and the 

effort to get things back on track? 

Reeve Arndt: As I stated in my last column in Last Mountain Times, things need to get better and I 

am committed to doing that. We enjoy a special place here in the RM of McKillop and we will continue 

to fix the things that are broken, improve the things that are working, implement new services to provide 

an improved level of service and work to ensure that your experience with your local government is as 

positive as we can make it.

NEWS BRIEFS 

Prince Albert employer fined 

Bradley Davidson-Vermette 

of Prince Albert has been fined 

a total of $49,000 for violating 

Occupational Health and Safety 

legislation which resulted in 

serious injury to a worker. 

On September 6, 2018, Davidson-Vermette 

pleaded guilty to 

contravening section 134(2) of 

the regulations (being an operator 

of a machine, before starting 

a machine, fail to ensure that 

neither the operator nor any other 

worker will be endangered by 

starting the machine, resulting 

in a serious injury to a worker). 

He was ordered to pay a fine of 

$35,000 with a $14,000 surcharge. 

The offence occurred on 

June 2, 2017 near Wakaw. While 

removing debris from a conveyor 

belt, the conveyor system was 

started up causing the worker to 

fall approximately four metres 

or 12 feet. The worker suffered 

broken bones in his arm, pelvis 

and hip as well as fractures to his 

ribs and spine. 

$1,400 fine for company 

A Blaine Lake company pleaded 

guilty to failing to provide 

records requested by an Employment 

Standards Officer in 

Blaine Lake Provincial Court on 

September 6, 2018. 

Numbered company 101100505 

Saskatchewan Ltd., operating 

as Blaine Lake Gas Plus Creta 

Pizza was fined $1,000 plus a 

surcharge of $400 under The 

Saskatchewan Employment Act. 

One additional charge against 

the company and two charges 

against the director of the company 

were withdrawn. 

Charges stem from Employment 

Standards complaints 

about unpaid wages received 

between September 28 and 

December 27, 2016. Records 

were not provided to the Employment 

Standards Officer when 

they were requested. The officer 

determined that employees were 

owed $598.82 in unpaid wages. 

That amount has since been paid 

to the employees. 

NDP calls out chronic 

underfunding of education 

According to the government’s 

education sector staffing profile, 

there are more students in 

Saskatchewan and fewer teachers 

and support staff in classrooms 

across the province. 

“Premier Moe and the Sask. 

Party have shown nothing but 

disrespect to the teachers who 

educate our children,” said NDP 

Leader Ryan Meili. “We see it in 

their failure to adequately fund 

schools seeing rising enrolment, 

and we see it in Friday’s 

arbitration announcement, with 

teachers handed a contract that 

doesn’t even cover inflation.” 

According to the government’s 

staffing profile, the number of 

regular classroom teachers in the 

province dropped by 30 teachers 

from 2016-17 to 2017-18, and fulltime 

equivalent (FTE) support 

positions declined between 2016- 

17 and 2017-18. Overall, the total 

number of educators decreased 

by 188.8. Meanwhile, the number 

of students continues to climb. 

Government estimates provided 

in committee have public school 

enrolment climbing by 1.4% and 

Catholic school enrolment climbing 

by 2.1%. 

“This year we see fewer teachers, 

fewer educational assistants, 

and more students. The message 

couldn’t be clearer: Premier Moe 

Last Mountain Times • Monday, September 17, 2018 • lmtimes.ca 

doesn’t take education seriously 

and doesn’t treat teachers fairly,” 

said NDP Education Critic Carla 

Beck. “We call on this government 

to stop underfunding our 

schools.” 

Veterans Ombudsman report 

released 

OTTAWA - Canada’s Veterans 

Ombudsman Guy Parent last 

week released his report, Meeting 

Expectations: Timely and 

Transparent Decisions for Canada’s 

Ill and Injured Veterans. The 

report focuses on the number 

one complaint the Office of the 

Veterans Ombudsman (OVO) 

hears from Veterans – the length 

of time it takes to get a disability 

benefit decision from Veterans 

Affairs Canada (VAC). The 

report’s seven recommendations 

are supported by evidence-based 

findings that, if implemented, 

would enable VAC to better 

meet the needs of all Veterans 

and their families in a timelier 

manner. 

“It is taking too long for Veterans 

to get a disability benefit 

decision from VAC and this is 

negatively impacting the health 

needs and financial security of 

many Veterans and their families,” 

said Mr. Parent. “Along with 

the increased frustration and 

stress, some Veterans have no 

access to health care services and 

financial support during these 

long wait times, the gateway to 

other VAC benefits and services 

is often firmly shut until there is 

a decision.” 

The Ombudsman is particularly 

worried about the fact that not 

all groups of Veterans are being 

treated equitably.

EDITORIALS, LETTERS & OPINIONS 

The right of women to choose their 

own futures 

Saudi Arabia’s anti-women laws require a swift dose of 

economic freedom, and they’re not alone 

The Canada-Saudi Arabia diplomatic 

dispute appears to have calmed - for now 

- but the issue at the heart of the dispute 

remains. The dispute peaked in August 

after Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia 

Freeland tweeted her support for women’s 

rights activist Samar Badawi. That 

prompted the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 

to pull its students from Canadian colleges 

and universities (with a temporary 

exemption for medical students). 

But while the spat made headlines, 

sadly, mistreatment of women in the 

kingdom - and other countries around 

the world, particularly in the Middle East 

and Africa - is nothing new. Saudi officials 

arrested Badawi and fellow activist 

Nassima al-Sada on July 30. It was one 

of several recent cases of female human 

rights activists being detained in Saudi 

Arabia. 

Most of these activists oppose Saudi 

Arabia’s guardianship system. It legally 

requires women to have a male guardian 

- a husband, father or other male 

relative - who controls their major life 

choices. For example, Saudi women must 

obtain permission from their guardians 

before they travel, go to university, get a 

job and even marry. And, according to 

Saudi law, they must obey their guardian’s 

decisions. If she doesn’t, a woman 

can be charged with disobedience, which 

is exactly what happened to Badawi in 

2009. She became the first woman to 

bring a court case challenging this system 

- no easy feat, considering a woman’s 

testimony carries less weight in Saudi 

courts than a man’s. Women like Badawi 

are fighting for freedom and the right 

to choose their futures. And in doing 

so, they underline the gender disparity 

that exists in Saudi law while sparking 

a broader conversation about women’s 

rights worldwide. 

In my recent Fraser Institute policy 

report, Women in Progress, I rated 

countries based on the differences in how 

men and women are treated under the 

law. Saudi Arabia has the greatest legal 

gender disparity in the world. But it’s 

hardly alone - 19 countries require women 

to obtain permission from husbands 

or guardians before finding employment. 

Even if they’re permitted to work, women 

in 104 countries face gender-specific 

labour market restrictions on the type of 

work they can do and the hours they can 

work. 

So what’s the solution? How can women 

living in oppressive countries break 

free, prosper and live healthier and more 

fulfilling lives? Two words: economic 

freedom. With greater economic freedom, 

women can choose whether and 

how to contribute to the economy based 

on their talents and interests, move to 

new locations to pursue opportunities, 

and obtain greater access to financial 

institutions and improved legal status, 

so they can start businesses and make 

investments for the future. Of course, 

progress for women not only affects individuals 

- it impacts the economy at large. 

In Saudi Arabia, for example, nearly half 

of the population (women) can’t contribute 

to the economy, so the country is 

missing out on the wealth and talent its 

female population could generate. 

My study also analyzed the relationship 

between economic freedom and 

well-being, and found that women living 

in economically freer countries are better 

able to earn a living, have healthier lives, 

and have more opportunities to pursue 

education and financial independence. 

On the education front, women are more 

likely to invest in education if they can 

use that knowledge in the labour force. 

It’s not surprising that adult literacy rates 

are higher, on average, in countries in the 

top quartile of economic freedom (94.1 

per cent) than in countries in the lowest 

quartile (59.7 per cent). 

Moreover, in economically free countries, 

women are nearly twice as likely to 

participate in the labour market as women 

living in countries with less economic 

freedom. And economically free women 

live nearly 17 years longer, on average, 

than women in countries with limited 

economic freedom (82.3 years versus 

65.3 years). 

The Saudi Arabia regime recently 

granted women more freedoms, including 

the right to drive. But clearly, there’s 

much to be done. Without removing 

gender-specific economic barriers, it’s 

difficult - and in many countries, impossible 

- for women to share in the benefits 

of free markets. 

Sustainable change doesn’t happen 

overnight. But when the potential 

benefits of protecting these rights are 

so significant, the recent Canada-Saudi 

back-and-forth raises a conversation that 

can literally save lives.

No to any NAFTA concessions on grain grading 

Part of a divide and rule strategy 

A United States government fact sheet summarizing the agriculture-related aspects 

of its recent bilateral deal with Mexico suggests Canada’s unparalleled grain grading 

and quality assurance system is now on the NAFTA negotiating table. The document 

says the United States and Mexico agreed that “grading standards and services will 

be non-discriminatory, including for grains and that grading will operate independently 

from domestic registration systems for grain and oilseed varietals.” 

The US-Mexican agreement seems to be part of a divide and rule strategy designed 

to benefit multinational grain companies that stand to gain millions, if not billions, 

in additional profits if Canada’s grading system is dismantled. In a press release, the 

US Wheat Associates said they hope the Mexican deal would “spur negotiations with 

Canada” on the issue of grain grading. With Greg Doud, former President of the Commodity 

Markets Council, as the Americans’ Chief Agriculture Negotiator, it is hard to 

imagine that our grading system is not under attack. 

The National Farmers Union (NFU) is calling on the government of Canada to refuse 

any concessions on grain grading during NAFTA talks. 

Canada’s grain grading system is the key to our international competitiveness, particularly 

for wheat. Our grain growing region is far from ocean ports, so a high-volume, 

low-price approach is a non-starter. Instead, our marketing strategy is to sell 

high value grain to customers who are willing to pay prices that cover expensive 

transportation costs. Our grading system allows us to produce and deliver the high 

quality grain all over the world – not only to Mexico and the USA - and our variety 

registration system is the foundation of our grading system. 

US producers are not missing out on the Canadian market. There are no limits on 

how much US-grown wheat Canadian millers can bring in. But allowing grain companies 

to mix American wheat with Canadian-grown wheat destined for export would 

give US wheat a free ride on the seed-to-port-terminal quality control system we have 

developed over the past century. This would compromise – and ultimately destroy – 

our quality reputation abroad. 

With or without NAFTA, there will be trade between Canada, the US and Mexico 

because we each have something the other countries need. But trade deals like 

NAFTA, the TPP, CETA, etc., are not really about trade – they’re tools the corporate 

sector uses to get governments to give up their ability to govern in the interests of citizens 

and to tie the hands of future governments. We don’t need to, and must not, give 

up critical economic tools that benefit Canadians for the sake of any trade agreement. 

Canada should not legitimize the deadline dramas manufactured by a Mexican 

President in his final days in office after electoral defeat and the US President whose 

focus is on his country’s mid-term elections. Our grain quality assurance systems and 

supply management, institutions Canadians that have created and maintained for 

decades and which continue to benefit farmers, consumers and the national economy, 

should not be sacrificed.

The RCMP honours its fallen 

On Sunday, September 9, the Royal 

Canadian Mounted Police held its 

National Memorial Service at the RCMP 

Academy, Depot Division, in Regina, 

Saskatchewan. 

This year, the name of Constable Francis 

Bertrand Deschênes was added to 

the RCMP Cenotaph, Honour Roll Book 

and Memorial Wall, bringing the total 

number of fallen members to 239 since 

the creation of the North-West Mounted 

Police in 1873. 

Constable Deschênes is also being 

added to the online RCMP Honour 

Roll and to the Canadian Virtual War 

Memorial. Constable Deschênes died 

when struck by a vehicle while assisting 

motorists on the Trans-Canada Highway 

on September 12, 2017 near Memramcook, 

New Brunswick. 

The RCMP National Memorial Service, 

an annual event held the second Sunday 

of September, was attended by close to 

1,000 people this year, including family 

and friends of fallen RCMP members, 

RCMP members, veterans, cadets and 

members of the U.S Customs and Border 

Protection and Montana Highway 

Patrol. 

“On this second Sunday of September, 

we pause to grieve, to remember and to 

celebrate the lives and achievements of 

those we have lost, of those who remain 

with us in spirit,” said Commissioner 

Lucki. “I want to take a moment to thank 

each and every person, past and present, 

who stands up for peace and the safety 

we enjoy every single day. Thank you for 

selflessly putting yourself in harm’s way 

and risking everything for your fellow 

citizens.”

RCMP REPORT 


Detachment, along with first responders 

from Gravelbourg Ambulance and Fire 

Department, were called to a collision 

on Township Road 124, 4 miles north 

of Primary Grid 718. An eastbound 

Jeep Cherokee collided head on with a 

westbound Dodge Ram pickup truck. 

The driver of the Jeep, an adult female, 

was pronounced deceased at the scene 

and the male driver of the truck was 

transported to hospital via STARS, with 

what were described as severe injuries. 

Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to 

remove him from the vehicle. 

At this point in the investigation, there 

is no indication of alcohol use and an 

collision reconstructionist is assisting 

with the investigation, along with the 

Saskatchewan Coroners Service. 

ATM theft and attempted theft 

During the early morning hours of 

September 9, 2018, an off-duty RCMP 

officer came across the scene of an 

attempted ATM theft from a financial 

institution on James Street in Lumsden, 

SK. Those involved were using a pickup 

truck in their attempt to remove the 

ATM from the building. Investigators 

are working to determine if there were 

two or three individuals involved in 

this incident. When the off-duty officer 

was noticed, the individuals fled in the 

truck going in an unknown direction. 

Members were called and responded to 

the scene immediately, but neither the 

individuals or the truck were located 

during patrols. 

Attached are photos of the persons 

and vehicle believed to be involved in 

this incident. At least one of the individuals 

was dressed in all dark clothing 

with their hood up. Another was 

wearing blue work coveralls, also with 

their hood up. The truck is a described 

as a mid-90s to 2006 red Dodge with 

lights along the top of the windshield. 

QB shuffle dominates NFL off-season 

It might take a casual fan of the 

National Football League until U.S. 

Thanksgiving to get clarity on which 

quarterbacks went where in the biggest 

QB shuffle offseason in recent memory. 

Added to the carousel of veteran 

quarterbacks getting new addresses is a 

handful of fuzzy-cheeked QBs right out 

of college who are all projected stars (at 

least by the teams that chose them in the 

draft). History tells us, though, that the 

success rate of college QBs moving into 

the NFL is not that great. 

So let’s forget about the big QB names 

who stayed put, such as Brady, Rogers, 

Ryan, Brees, Wilson, Big Ben, etc., and 

concentrate on those who moved, and 

who moved in. 

Kirk Cousins was the biggest ‘name’ 

player to move, signing as a free agent 

with Minnesota Vikings after five years 

with Washington. The Cousins signing 

allowed the Vikings to go into 2018 with 

none of the three QBs they had on their 

2017 roster: Case Keenum signed with 

Denver as a free agent; Sam Bradford 

was a free-agent signee in Arizona; and 

Teddy Bridgewater was traded to New 

York Jets, and later dealt to New Orleans, 

where he’ll back up Drew Brees. 

To fill the Cousins void in Washington, 

the Redskins acquired longtime Kansas 

City quarterback Alex Smith. The Chiefs 

deemed him expendable because they 

believe Pat Mahomes, a second-year 

player, is ready for stardom. 

Tyrod Taylor, who had moments of glory 

for Buffalo, is suiting up with Cleveland 

Browns thanks to an off-season 

trade, and he’ll apparently start ahead of 

No. 1 draft pick Baker Mayfield. Meanwhile, 

A.J. McCarron, who was acquired 

by Buffalo from Cincinnati prior to the 

draft, was shuffled off to Oakland prior 

to the season. Nathan Peterman will 

start for Buffalo, and college prospect 

Josh Allen will back him up. Bills’ fans 

have their fingers crossed. 

All eyes will be on the five college 

quarterbacks who were the stars of 

April’s draft. Mayfield, as mentioned, 

will be the backup in Cleveland. Sam 

Darnold, from USC, is the starter for the 

Jets. Josh Allen will get a lot of sideline 

time in Buffalo. Josh Rosen is in Arizona, 

and will be the backup for Bradford, 

with Cardinals’ fans hoping the two can 

replace Carson Palmer, 

who retired after the 2017 

season after 15 years in 

the league. And versatile 

Lamar Jackson was picked 

by Baltimore Ravens, who 

with Joe Flacco behind 

centre have no quarterback 

worries. 

Every team with a new 

quarterback has high 

hopes as the season begins. 

History tells us those hopes

And, the Broadview RCMP are 

currently investigating the theft of an 

ATM from the Conexus Credit Union in 

Whitewood. On September 10th, 2018 

officers were dispatched to an alarm 

coming from the bank. Members found 

that the ATM from the lobby area of the 

bank had been removed. 

A review of the bank’s closed circuit 

surveillance showed that the suspects 

were wearing blue coveralls with reflective 

markings, hoodies, baseball caps 

and gloves. One of the suspect’s had a 

logo of ‘TNT’ printed on the back and 

front of their coveralls. Both suspects 

had their faces covered.

Rosetown RCMP’s investigation into 

the June 29th, 2018 motor vehicle collision 

near Elrose that claimed the lives of 

six people is now complete. 

The investigation determined that a 

northbound SUV with a lone driver/ 

occupant, crossed over into the southbound 

lane of Hwy #4 and collided with 

a second SUV carrying five people. Investigators 

were unable to determine the 

reason for that with absolute certainty, 

however, they were able to rule out alcohol 

as a factor. 

Rosetown RCMP were assisted in this 

investigation by the RCMP’s Traffic Reconstruction 

unit and the Saskatchewan

OBITUARY 

STOCKDALE - 

Nancy 

1922 - 2018 

Nancy Stockdale 

(nee Walker) 

passed away to be 

with her Lord on 

September 4, 2018 

at the age of 96. She 

was born in 1922 

in England and 

came to Canada at 

the age of 3 with her mother and father. 

They settled on a farm near Punnichy, 

where she grew up with her 2 brothers 

and went to school. She graduated in 

1945 with her nursing degree after many 

gruelling hours of study and practical 

work. She did find time to be courted by 

William Stockdale, and they were married 

in 1945. Children soon followed, 

and although Nancy practiced nursing 

privately for a while, she eventually devoted 

herself full-time to caring for her 

children and keeping the farm running. 

They moved to a farm outside Raymore 

in 1961 so that it would be easier for 

their children to go to school. Nancy and 

Bill also searched for a church home, 

and eventually settled into the congregation 

at Raymore Baptist Church, and 

found friends and a family in Christ 

that was a vital part of both of their 

lives. Nancy’s husband, Bill, died in 

1999, and Nancy’s life entered a new 

phase that was focused on her children, 

grandchildren, extended family, gardening, 

church and community. She 

was resolute in being independent - she 

gardened and lived in her own home 

until this past May. She will be remembered 

by her family and friends for her 

life of giving to others, her faith, and her 

quiet, gentle, fun-loving spirit. A special 

thanks to the staff at Raymore Home 

Care, Nokomis Health Centre, and 

Silver Heights Home who provided such 

wonderful care to her. 

She was predeceased by her husband, 

William Stockdale, her daughters, 

Joan and Kathy, and her brother, John 

Walker. She is survived by her brother, 

Robert Walker, and her children: 

Gordon (Barb), John (Judy), Carolyn 

(Don), Ruth Anne (Roland), and Fern 

(Kelly), and her grandchildren: Mat 

(Jo), Joy (Blayne), Shannon (Tim), Pam 

(Glenn), Elliott (Randi), Kerry (Trevor), 

Kelly (Travis), Ellen (Colin), Sarah, Jay 

(Christy), Jori, Vanessa, Jessica, Nancy 

(Parker), James, and Deanna, and her 

great-grandchildren. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests 

donations to the Raymore Baptist 

Church or Silver Heights Auxiliary. The 

Funeral Service took place at Raymore 

Baptist Church on Saturday, September 

8, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Douglas 

Armbruster officiating. Pallbearers 

were James Winder, Travis Linford, Jay 

Stockdale, Colin Phillips, Glenn Janes 

and Trevor (Melvin) Walker. Register 

Attendants were Donna Jordan and 

Darlene Jordan. Ushers were Brian 

Jordan and Randy Jordan. Eulogy was 

given by Jessica and Vanessa Richter. 

Soloists were Deanna Stockdale Winder 

and Christy Stockdale. Pianist was Lisa 

Bailey. A Private Family Interment took 

place in Punnichy Community Cemetery. 

A Funeral Lunch was provided in 

the lower level of the church following 

the service.

An inspiring journey 

Local Terry Fox Run participant’s story 

Each year, millions of people, in close to 25 

countries, including Canada, participate in Terry 

Fox Runs and Terry Fox fundraising events. With 

Terry’s dream and hope of raising money to fight 

cancer, first starting in St. John’s, Newfoundland 

Apr. 12, 1980, the Foundation has since raised over 

$715 million to support cancer research in Terry’s 

name. Over the decades, many Canadians including 

those within the local area have been driving forces 

in helping to raise funds toward the tremendous 

cause. Within Jansen and Lanigan there have been 

numerous contributors over the years including one 

lady, who has found the cause very near and dear to 

her heart. 

Mardelle Craven-Robson who resides in Lanigan 

with her husband Jack, has helped garner funding 

for the Terry Fox Foundation while providing 

inspiration and a positive example for others in 

the process. While Mardelle is not the only local 

individual who has made significant strides towards 

helping the Foundation, she is one of a handful that 

were involved first in Lanigan, and then in Jansen 

when the Terry Fox Run began in that community 

in 1994. 

First involved with the Terry Fox Run back in 

the early 1980s, Mardelle pledged money for the 

event while her kids were in school. After her first 

husband Earle was diagnosed with cancer and later 

passed away in 1990, Mardelle, like so many others 

affected by the horrific disease, felt the need to become 

more involved with the Terry Fox Run. 

The first Run this present great-granny of four 

and grandmother of five participated in was in Lanigan 

with her daughter in-law Karen when Linda 

Mallett was the organizer. 

A few years later, local Kinette president Peggy 

Lynch, Mardelle and Jack approached the local Kinettes, 

their proposal of hosting the Run was taken 

into consideration and the Run began in Jansen 

where it has been held ever since. 

“It was a group effort and there were a lot of 

younger families moving back to the community at 

the time, so we just thought it would be nice to have 

it held in Jansen,” said Mardelle. Like other events 

held locally in Lockwood, Watrous and Humboldt, 

the one in Jansen has observed a few changes over 

the years with varying numbers of participants. 

“The first event was out of the former Leisure Living 

Centre, and I believe, it was hosted by Cheekie 

and Arlene Ewen and then when Carol Neugebauer 

took it on, she opened up her backyard and it became 

a social event afterwards as well, with cookies 

and coffee and juice.” 

Now the Outdoor Recreation Facility in Jansen 

has become the starting venue for the event and “it 

has been great to see people making the effort to 

attend and raise money for such a great cause over 

the years.” 

Current Kinette and chairperson of this year’s 

Terry Fox Run in Jansen, Jennelle Schindel, is anticipating 

a good turnout for 2018 and said people 

can circle Sunday, Sept. 16 on their calendars. “Participants 

can choose to run, walk or bike and we 

will leave from the Outdoor Recreation Facility on 

Holloway Street like we have for the past couple of 

years. There will be an 8 km route as well as a 2 km 

route, so participants may choose either of those or 

opt for completing the 2 km route twice for a 4 km 

option.” 

In addition to the route options, Schindel said 

they also added something new this year. “We are 

going to kick off the Run with a fundraising barbecue 

and we are hoping this will allow those who 

do not wish to do the Run to be able to still come 

out and participate. The meal, donated by Humboldt 

Co-op and Jansen-Esk Credit Union, will be a 

burger, a drink and dessert, and will begin at noon 

as well as the registration for the Run. Then after 

lunch, the Run will start at 1:30 p.m.” 

Like Craven-Robson and many other participants 

of the Terry Fox Run in Jansen, the event has meant 

a lot to them for a number of reasons. For Mardelle, 

over the years, members of her family, Jack’s 

first wife Jill, his family and close friends, have 

been diagnosed with cancer and some have passed 

on. Two years ago, her close friend and long-time 

participant of the Jansen Run, Josephine Schindel 

passed away with ALS. With fond memories of 

biking and walking with Josephine during many of 

the Terry Fox Runs, Mardelle said the Run remains 

so important in raising money for cancer research 

to try to rid the world of the disease. Mardelle also 

shared about how her close friend first got involved 

in the event. 

“In 2001, Terry’s mom Betty came to Lockwood, 

and I took Josephine with me to meet her. Betty 

was so approachable and I think that helped prompt 

Josephine to get involved, so Josephine and I begun 

the annual event together. And I remember every 

year, Josephine and I would name each person that 

passed away from cancer in our area as we rode in 

memory of them.” 

Baking cookies for after the Terry Fox Run, 

raising money and sharing inspirational experiences, 

both Mardelle and Josephine teamed up with 

other long-time supporters each year. Then before 

Josephine’s passing, Mardelle said her close friend 

attended the Terry Fox Run one last time. 

“Jack and I borrowed a wheelchair from the 

Lanigan Catholic Church, who graciously allowed 

us to use it for the day and we pushed her around 

Jansen,” Mardelle recalled. “She was there for that 

one and it was a very special moment I will never 

forget. She just loved it and after her passing the 

following year, Jansen held the Run in her honour. 

Her memorial also went towards the Terry Fox Run, 

she was such a great supporter.” 

Not wanting to leave anyone out, Mardelle said 

there have been so many other people who have 

spent countless hours volunteering at the Jansen 

event, pledged numerous times and helped to raise 

money over the years. “The local supporters who 

have pledged or volunteered have been wonderful 

and without them, we would not have been able to 

have a Run.” 

Mardelle has been able to attend almost every 

year since the Run began in Jansen with exception 

of 2010 when she and Jack went to the Maritimes 

where they sported their Terry Fox T-shirts on 

Terry Fox Day. With the approval of Regina head 

office they biked earlier and sent in their collected 

donations before leaving. A few years ago they decided 

to go to Lockwood, participating in memory 

of Margaret Herr. Margaret’s home farm was near 

Jack’s farm and she was a close friend of both Mardelle 

and Jack. “When she passed away, we wanted 

to honour her so we went to Lockwood and participated 

there with Larry and Donna Morningstar 

who hosted that event.”

our recent expansion which includes an 

Another time came in 2000 while Mardelle was canvassing, she came down with 

shingles. “I really wanted to participate so I did a trial run with my bike but was 

not able to get very far. I was diagnosed with cancer and had non-Hodgkin’s in my 

right cheek. I had to have radiation and I think being diagnosed made me even more 

passionate about the Run every year.” 

Then after participating in the 2017 Terry Fox Run, Mardelle began feeling it was 

time to retire. However, with encouragement from family and her passion for the 

annual event still burning strong, the long-time participant felt compelled to put on 

her walking shoes at least one more time. 

With numerous appreciation letters from the Terry Fox Foundation and from 

Betty and Rolly Fox and family, addressed to Mardelle over the years, the Lanigan 

resident said, “I started receiving calls and pledges again this year and had encouragement 

from my son Shane, so I decided I would go again. I think part of the 

reason I have continued to do this, is because of the faith I have in the work that 

the Terry Fox Foundation does. I think knowing that the funds are going directly 

towards cancer research is why I keep going. I want to make sure that people know 

it is not about just me. There are so many others that are doing such a great job from 

Jansen. It is even little things like Dean and Dale Schroeder grading the road before 

the Run so we had a nice path to walk and bike on. I don’t want to unintentionally 

forget someone that has done so much because there are so many that have been 

participating for a long time. I am so grateful for them and for everyone able to take 

part. It is heartwarming to see the Jansen community support Terry Fox’s vision. 

Terry Fox never made it to our province, but his unbreakable spirit continues to 

thrive in Jansen.”

LMVBA monthly 

meeting 

Major event confirmed for November 7 

Members of the Last Mountain Valley Business 

Assocation (LMVBA) met on the evening of September 

5, 2018 for their regular monthly meeting. 

Members representing eight local businesses were 

in attendance, and the meeting was chaired by President 

Kirby Kazeil. 

The financial report given by treasurer Ross McKee, 

who noted that the annual August Show ‘n Shine car show 

Darci Lang, motivational 

speaker 

had total expenses of $1,257 and thanks to RBC’s $1000 donation the cost to the association 

was only $257. Ross also reported that both $500 scholarships for William 

Derby School grads have been paid out. 

Application was made by Carol Schultz on behalf of the association to the Village 

of Bulyea for them to put up the new LMVBA sign in the Village sign corridor. We 

will be notified of their decision after the next Village meeting. 

Discussion on the August 11th LMVBA Annual Show and Shine, noted that the 

event received good reviews. New registration location was very good; the Fire 

Department did a great job in helping to park the cars as they arrived. The number 

of entries was down this year, to about 62, but the extremely hot weather was 

a negative factor, as well as other shows being held in the area that same weekend. 

The delivering of water and selling of burgers to the entrants at their cars was a 

very good added feature. Beth and Doug Krugal did a great job promoting the event 

throughout the year. 

The annual LMVBA Christmas on Main Street event was discussed and a decision 

was made to work on hosting this event this year, with date set of December 5th. 

There was a discussion regarding the RM 220’s financial situation and the affect on 

Business in the trading area. A motion was made and carried to send a letter to the 

Reeve and council of RM 220 outlining the association’s concerns and hopes that 

the RM can be united and the outcome be a successful partnership and working 

conditions for everyone involved. 

Since the meeting, the November 7th event with guest speaker Darci Lang has 

been confirmed to take place in the upper Strasbourg Hall. Sisters Cafe and SynergyAg 

have stepped up as the major sponsors of the event. The cost for the event 

will be $10 per ticket. Posters are being produced by Darci and her staff, and she is 

donating her book to the association to be given away and is giving the Association a 

very reduced price on her event fee. 

The Association hopes that all business owners will take advantage of this speaker 

and bring their staff to hear her presentation on “Being Inspired”

Canadian Grain Commission 

maintains licensing exemptions 

The Canadian Grain Commission announced last week that it will continue to 

exempt feed mills, agents with primary or process elevator facilities, and producer 

railway car loading facilities from licensing requirements. 

“After consulting with the sector, the Commission has decided that grain handlers 

that fall under one of these three categories may operate without a Canadian Grain 

Commission license as long as they continue to meet the conditions associated with 

their respective exemptions,” Chief Commissioner Patti Miller stated. “This decision 

reflects the clear feedback provided by stakeholders, as well as an analysis of the relative 

risks these types of operations pose to producers and the grain quality assurance 

system. This approach will allow the Canadian Grain Commission to maintain 

the quality, safekeeping, and orderly, efficient handling of Canadian grain without 

increasing costs and regulatory burden for the grain sector.” 

The Canada Grain Act mandates the Canadian Grain Commission to license or 

CONTINUES on PAGE 9

CONTINUED from PAGE 8 


exempt grain companies from licensing if their businesses meet certain legislated requirements. The two 

main objectives for licensing are to protect the interests of grain producers and to maintain Canada’s grain 

quality assurance system. In 2016, the Canadian Grain Commission conducted a consultation on proposals 

to license feed mills, agents and producer railway car loading facilities. 

Miller added that the majority of stakeholders that provided feedback were opposed to the proposed 

licensing changes. Further analysis confirmed that producer payment complaints involving these types of 

operations are rare and that the risks to Canada’s grain quality assurance system of exempting these types 

of operations are low. 

The Canadian Grain Commission is the federal agency responsible for establishing and maintaining 

Canada’s grain quality standards.

Crop Report 

For the period September 4 to 10, 

2018 

Favourable weather for most of the province allowed 

producers to continue to make good progress 

in the field, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s 

Weekly Crop Report. 

Fifty-eight per cent of the crop is now in the bin, 

well ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) average of 37 

per cent for this time of year. Twenty-eight per cent 

of the crop is now swathed or ready to straight-cut. 

Rain showers toward the end of the week slowed 

down field progress, particularly in the eastern and 

northern regions, where the majority of the rain 

was recorded. 

Harvest is most advanced in the southwest 

region, where 82 per cent of the crop is now 

combined. The southeast region has 77 per cent 

combined, the west-central 53 per cent and the 

east-central region has 49 per cent combined. The 

northeast region has 27 per cent combined while 

the northwest region has 16 per cent 

combined. 

Ninety-six per cent of lentils, 94 per 

cent of field peas, 73 per cent of durum, 

46 per cent of spring wheat, 38 per cent 

of canola, and 14 per cent of flax and soybeans 

have now been combined. Sixty 

per cent of durum is estimated to grade 1CW, while 

34 and six per cent is estimated to grade 2CW and 

3CW, respectively. Fifty per cent of the pea crop is 

estimated to fall in the 1 CAN grade, while 46 and 

four per cent are estimated to grade 2 CAN and 3 

CAN, respectively. Forty-six per cent of the lentils 

are estimated to grade 1 CAN, while 49 and five per 

cent is predicted to fall in the 2 CAN and 3 CAN category, 

respectively. 

Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions 

on cropland are rated as 25 per cent adequate, 40 

per cent short and 35 per cent very short. Hay land 

and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 20 per cent 

adequate, 32 per cent short and 48 per cent very 

short. 

Most areas of the province have reported frost. 

Crop damage varies depending on maturity of the 

crop and degree of freezing temperatures. Producers 

are busy swathing and combining crops. 

SaskPower says there were five reported cases of 

farm machinery contacting electrical equipment 

in the last week. Producers are reminded to take 

a moment to identify overhead lines this harvest 

season.

It was melted butter running down forearms, and elbow-to-elbow seating 

as local folks packed into the Nokomis Seniors Centre on Sunday, 

September 9th for another Seniors Pot Luck Corn Roast. With apologies 

to the local restaurants (which must have been sitting empty that 

evening!), this important fundraiser for the Nokomis Seniors group must 

have attracted every growling tummy in the area! 

Jim Tait fired up two turkey broilers and kept the folks supplied with 

excellent corn, and the other food brought by the guests rounded out an 

excellent menu of delicious food that kept folks coming back for seconds. And the pumpkin pies, tarts and 

muffins (did I mention the pumpkin pies??) that were laid out for dessert .....mmmmmm!!! 

I’m sure folks have the second Sunday in September already marked on their 2019 calendars!

Overheard at the coffee shop 

I never believe anything until it has been 

officially denied. 

MINISTERIAL MESSAGES 

Of Heaven and Hell... 

Some say there is no such place as hell. Whoa! 

Look around you! You don’t have to GO anywhere to 

see the chaos of hell; all the evil, mean things people 

do to other people. The pain and agony people 

suffer each day! 

There are two forces here. One is for good – 

Heaven. One is for bad – Hell. Then someone 

hollers out “there are no such places. While we live 

we try our best. Upon death we just disappear into 

nothing” 

Then there are those who believe God created the 

heaven and earth and all in them. Scriptures tell 

us that we were all created in LOVE. God loves us 

(1John 4:16 NIV) and through that love our Creator 

God sacrificed His only Son on the Cross that we 

may have life eternal with our Creator. 

So, if we go with the first declaration- there is 

nothing after death - and it turns out to be true, 

then nobody has missed out on anything. 

BUT if eternal life with our Creator is available, 

as the Scriptures say, and we don’t believe and 

trust our Creator and show Him our love and love 

everyone around us, then we are LOST! FOREV- 

ER! That’s what “eternal” means. “Your enemy the 

devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for 

someone to devour.” (1Peter 5:8 NIV) 

Scriptures tell us that things on this earth are 

going to go from bad to worse! You can see that. 

BUT there is hope. Never forget that! Many times 

in Scripture our God says “I will never leave you or 

forsake you.”(DT 31:16, Jos.1:5, Heb. 13:5) NIV 

“Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice O earth; burst 

into song, O mountains for the Lord comforts his 

people and will have compassion on his afflicted 

ones.” (Isaiah 49:13 NIV) 

“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my 

Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will 

prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old 

men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both 

men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those 

days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders 

in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, 

blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be 

turned to darkness and the moon to blood before 

the coming of the great and glorious day of the 

Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the 

Lord will be saved. “(Acts 2:17-21 NIV) 

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through 

faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of 

God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For 

we are all God’s workmanship, created in Christ 

Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in 

advance for us to do.” (Ephesians2:8-10 NIV) 

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as 

some understand slowness. He is patient with you, 

not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come 

to repentance.” (2Peter 3:8-9) NIV

This photo was taken on Wednesday, September 12 along a grid road just north of Govan. As the photo clearly shows, 

the semi-unit loaded with grain caught the soft shoulder of the road and flopped over into the ditch, spilling virtually 

the entire load of grain. Damage to the passenger side of the tractor unit appears to be extensive. A call to the local 

RCMP Detachment didn’t yield much more detail ..only that the accident “wasn’t very serious, and no one was 

injured.” The driver or owner of the vehicle was not mentioned. -photo by Keith King, Govan

World 

Rivers Day 

Farmers have generally 

tended to be responsible in 

terms of caring for the land 

they farm. 

Certainly, there 

are examples to the 

opposite, examples 

of farm run-offs 

causing issues, 

and land being less 

‘farmed’, and more 

‘mined’, but those 

approaches are 

more a thing of the 

past, at least among 

informed modern 

farmers. 

AG NOTES 

CALVIN DANIELS 

The sector as a whole has come to understand 

land is a resource which must 

be managed in a way which ensures 

its viability over the long term. Tightly 

connected to those efforts, at least in 

my mind, is a need to be sustainably 

responsible in terms of the resource of 

water. That is where something such as 

World Rivers Day, set for Sept. 23, is 

important. 

“World Rivers Day is a celebration of 

the world’s waterways,” details www. 

worldriversday.com. “It highlights the 

many values of our rivers, strives to 

increase public awareness, and encourages 

the improved stewardship of 

all rivers around the world. Rivers in 

virtually every country face an array 

of threats, and only through our active 

involvement can we ensure their health 

in the years ahead.” 

Interestingly, although perhaps not 

surprising given the interest in conservation 

many in this country have, Canada 

played a role in the establishment of 

the day. 

“In 2005, the United Nations 

launched the Water for Life Decade to 

help create a greater awareness of the 

need to better care for our water resources,” 

details the website. “Following 

this, the establishment of World Rivers 

Day was in response to a proposal initiated 

by internationally renowned river 

advocate, Mark Angelo. 

“The proposal for a global event 

to celebrate rivers was based on the 

success of BC Rivers Day, which Mark 

Angelo had founded and led in western 

Canada since 1980. A World Rivers Day 

event was seen by agencies of the UN as 

a good fit for the aims of the Water for 

Life Decade and the proposal was approved. 

River enthusiasts from around 

the world came together to organize the 

inaugural WRD event. That first event 

in 2005 was a great success and Rivers 

Day was celebrated across dozens of 

countries. Since then, the event has continued 

to grow. It is annually celebrated 

on the last Sunday of every September. 

“Last year, several million people 

across more than 60 countries celebrated 

the many values of our waterways.” 

Awareness of the critical nature of our 

water, and the role rivers play not just as 

a water source, but an economic driver 

in terms of transportation, including 

grain movement, and recreation, is 

important. 

Also important is farmers recognizing 

their role in protecting and preserving 

surface water sources such as our rivers.

Walking liquor 

bottles 

Before we are totally inundated with 

stories about the problems that will 

result from legal cannabis in Canada, a 

fascinating tale from Winnipeg about 

remarkably free access to a much older 

drug of choice, that would be alcohol. 

The booze business in Manitoba now 

comes under a major crown corporation 

called Liquor and Lotteries. 

Unlike Saskatchewan where the private 

sector is gradually getting a foothold in 

CURRIE’S 

CORNER 

ROGER CURRIE 

the business, hard liquor in Manitoba can only be bought 

at government liquor stores. 

The elders among us in both provinces can recall the 

days when you had to line up and fill out a form, then wait 

while someone went to the warehouse at the back and 

found the bottles of hooch that you wanted. 

Sales increased rather dramatically when one day we 

were allowed to wander the aisles of the store and serve 

ourselves. But recently the ‘self serve’ concept has been 

going too far. 

In the past 12 months, Liquor and Lotteries says $1.6 

million worth of alcohol products has walked away from 

the stores without being paid for. 1,277 times, someone 

has picked up a bottle and walked out without making any 

effort to pay for it. They call it ‘product loss’ or ‘shrinkage’. 

Really? I remember when we used to call it stealing. 

There are private security types at the liquor stores. It 

seems they are trained to keep an eye out for theft, but 

not to really challenge the thieves if they see it happening. 

Given the widely-reported crisis that the real Winnipeg 

Police are having in dealing with criminals who are high 

on crystal meth, it’s not surprising the rent-a-cops don’t do 

anything. 

What happens to the stolen booze? Quite often, apparently, 

the thieves turn around and sell it online. Surely 

there must be opportunities here for the young entrepreneurs 

who are involved with Uber and Skip The Dishes. 

Add in home-delivered marijuana and you can see why 

everyone is excited about the Gig economy in 2018. 

Little sense 

Watching movies continues to one of the essential passions 

of my life, but the way we do that continues to evolve 

in most interesting ways. I am much more selective when 

it comes to movies, and this past summer I was genuinely 

frustrated when a picture called Shock and Awe sank like a 

stone. It played barely one week in theatres, and after that 

you couldn’t even find it in ‘prison and airplanes’. 

For weeks I searched for it on pay sites like Video On 

Demand, but it has yet to show up there. Then I found it 

on that miraculous place called YouTube where you can 

essentially watch shows for nothing . 

Directed by Rob Reiner, Shock and Awe details the 

efforts of the Washington bureau of Knight Ridder newspapers 

to find out why the administration of President 

George W. Bush decided to go to war with Iraq in 2003, 

even though there appeared to be almost no connection 

between Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden who 

masterminded the worst terrorist attack ever against the 

United States. 

Reiner plays bureau chief John Walcott, and Woody 

Harrelson and James Marsden play Jonathan Landay 

and Warren Strobel, the two reporters who did most of 

the legwork. Their efforts proved that the war in Iraq, and 

the removal of Saddam, was based almost entirely on lies. 

There were no Weapons of Mass Destruction and hundreds 

of thousand were killed in the conflict for reasons that 

made very little sense. 

Landay and Strobel should have become household 

names, like Woodward and Bernstein, but even some of 

the papers owned by Knight Ridder refused to carry their 

work. They followed the lead of the New York Times who 

accepted the story that was put out by the Bush White 

House right down the line. 

At a time when the efforts of journalists are valued less 

and less, and the business models of the mainstream media 

are continuing to fail, this is an important movie, and 

it’s good . 

Thank you YouTube for making sure that it didn’t disappear.
