We’re back at work here at the Last Mountain Times office, after taking our annual two week, and two issue summer break. And, what an eventful two weeks it has
been! The above photo, taken by Lynn Gettis, is representative of the kind of weather we had during the last 2 weeks of July ...lots of heat, lots of thunderstorms, and
lots of heavy, but spotty, rainshowers. Let’s hope the remainder of the summer and early fall delivers some more favourable weather and early harvest conditions.

Old farmhouse becomes art
Historic farmhouse
recycled as art
project
It’s a non-discript old farmhouse,
long-abandoned to the elements and
the barn swallows, about 10 kms
southeast of Nokomis. You’d drive
by it, thinking it was just another
abandoned prairie farmyard …an
old house hidden by overgrown caraganas,
flanked by an old unpainted
barn and crumbling outbuildings.
Nothing out of the ordinary on the
prairie landscape. The only signs
of life being a couple of new metal
grain bins, the barn swallows, and
Jessica Richter.
Jessica, born and raised in the Nokomis
area, has family roots going
way back and now she has established
an art installation to explore,
celebrate, and ponder those roots.
For the past number of months,
Jessica, along with help from family
members and other volunteers has
been engaged in a renovation project,
using the house as a ‘canvas’ for
her latest art project.
At one time, the house belonged
to Udo and Trudy Krueger, Jessica’s
great-aunt and great-uncle. Now it
is the site of Jessica’s Haus Project:
Einwanderin an exploration of her
German-Canadian identity.
The family’s story is a long, convoluted
and arduous one: Udo and
Adelheid Krueger, brother and sister,
immigrated to Canada from Germany
in 1945, leaving the community of
Konigsberg (now renamed to Kaliningrad)
to escape the heavy Russian
bombing, and the advancing Russian
Army. Udo was a 16 year old German
soldier, and Erwin Richter (Jessica’s
grandfather) was also conscripted
into the German Army. After the
treacherous and dangerous process
of escaping worn-torn Europe, the
Kruegers made their way to Canada,
as did Erwin Richter who later
married Adelheid Krueger. Erwin
and Adelheid Richter later became
Jessica’s grandparents, settling on a
farm just west of the Krueger farm.
Jessica says her art installation
reflects the “darker history behind a
very happy family and childhood,”
incorporating both bright and morbid
aspects of her family’s history.
As you enter the old farmhouse, now
graced by a newly-built front stairs
and landing (necessitated by the

NEWS BRIEFS
Company fined $50,000 for workplace injury
Last Mountain Times • Monday, August 12, 2019 • lmtimes.ca
3
A Saskatoon company pleaded guilty to one count
under Occupational Health and Safety regulations in
Lloydminster Provincial Court on July 15, 2019.
101296182 Saskatchewan Ltd. pleaded guilty to
contravening subsection 154(2) of the regulations
(being an employer, fail to ensure that only trained
operators are required or permitted to operate powered
mobile equipment, resulting in the serious injury
to a worker). The company was fined $35,714.28
plus a surcharge of $14,285.72, for a total of $50,000.
One additional charge was stayed.
Charges stemmed from an incident that occurred
on July 26, 2017 at a worksite near Lloydminster, Saskatchewan.
A worker sustained severe injuries when
a combine tire fell off a forklift and struck the worker.
Municipalities can access long-term flood
mitigation program
Last week the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency
(WSA) announced that beginning August 1, 2019, the
transition moves from the emergency focus toward
long-term flood mitigation projects. Applications
from municipalities will be accepted until September
15, 2019.
Last year, 16 communities participated in the program.
At no cost, each community received technical
investigations into their long-term flood damage
risk issues. A total of seven communities undertook
mitigation works and received funding from the
FDRP. The FDRP is anticipated to have $700,000
available in grants this year and will accept proposals
in four categories from communities both urban
(cities, towns and villages) and in rural municipalities
(hamlets). The FDRP will cover eligible costs
incurred up to March 31, 2020. Once a municipality
applies to the program, the proponent must have
prior WSA approval and must secure any applicable
regulatory requirements to undertake work. Eligible
projects will be cost-shared on a 50/50 basis between
the WSA and the proponent.
New heliport operational at Jim Pattison
Children’s Hospital
A new heliport on top of Jim Pattison Children’s
Hospital in Saskatoon has opened ahead of schedule
and became operational on Thursday, July 25.
Emergency personnel from Shock Trauma Air Rescue
Service (STARS) will now be able to land at the site,
which received its certification from Transport Canada
on Wednesday, July 24. This technical review and
certification process ensures that the new heliport
meets Transport Canada’s regulations and guidelines
to support safe helicopter operations on the new
hospital.
Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) will
be home to new Royal University Hospital (RUH)
Adult Emergency Department and a new Children’s
Emergency Department, which will open in the fall.
STARS transports about 300 patients to RUH each
year. Previously, STARS landed at Innovation Place
and patients were transported via ground ambulance
to RUH, which took up to 25 minutes. With the
heliport now operational, patients will be inside RUH
about five minutes after landing. Once the new Emergency
Departments (EDs) open this fall, patients will
arrive at EDs within about three minutes of landing
at the heliport.
In anticipation of the potential that the heliport
could be operational before opening of JPCH, staff
and physicians have been finalizing processes and
routes, and conducting mock moves from the heliport
to both the existing Emergency Department in
RUH, and the new Emergency Departments located
in JPCH.
The total capital budget for the Jim Pattison Children’s
Hospital was $285.9 million, which included
$257.6 million from the Province of Saskatchewan.
Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation has
fundraised over $75 million ($28.3 million for capital
costs and $46.6 million for furniture and equipment).
The Royal University Hospital Foundation fundraised
$5 million for equipment and furniture in the
new adult Emergency Department.
Located in Saskatoon next to the Royal University
Hospital, Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital will care
for pediatric and maternal patients.
NDP uncovers Sask. Party’s secret Crown selloff
committee
A newly released report from the Information and
Privacy Commissioner shows that the Sask. Party’s
plans to sell off SaskTel were much more developed
than previously known. Documents released by
the Saskatchewan NDP show that cabinet created a
secret sell-off committee to explore ways to sell off up
to 50% of the Crowns.
The NDP is calling for the release of all documents
the Commissioner recommended be released, and all
the documents prepared by the private companies
the Sask. Party was looking to sell SaskTel off to.
Wotherspoon condemned the Sask. Party for sharing
SaskTel’s commercial information with its competitors
and exposing SaskTel to potential harm.
“It’s clear this government can’t be trusted with
Saskatchewan’s Crowns. They’ve been dishonest
about their plans and they’ve betrayed Saskatchewan
people’s trust” said NDP Finance critic Trent Wotherspoon.
“The Sask. Party knows that people are
opposed to their plan to sell off our Crowns and that’s
why they’re trying to keep these documents a secret.”
Records from an FOI submitted by the NDP on the
sale of SaskTel were withheld by the government. A
review from the Office of the Saskatchewan Information
and Privacy Commissioner ruled that some of
the records should be released.
“If Scott Moe and the Sask. Party have nothing to
hide, they’ll release these documents,” Wotherspoon
added. “We need a government that’s focused on
making Saskatchewan’s Crowns stronger, instead of
constantly scheming to sell them off.”

4 Last Mountain Times • Monday, August 12, 2019 • lmtimes.ca
Letter to the
Editor
Responses
were
straightforward
and
believable
Thank you for the article
titled: “NDP Leader and
two candidates in town”, in
the July 22nd edition of the
Last Mountain Times. The
discussion concerning the
proposed Yancoal project
was particularly interesting
for me. My assessment of the
Yancoal-related questions
and answers relayed in the
article did not “trash” Yancoal
as your by-line at the top of
the article suggested. Rather,
I felt Ms. Nordal’s responses
to questions about the project
were straightforward and
believable. Having attended
several Yancoal project-related
meetings sponsored by the
Rural Municipality over the
past several years, I believe
that Ms. Nordal’s assessment
of the project status, her view
concerning the Environmental
Assessment process flaws, and
her suggestion to be careful
about generalizing about the
level of support for the project,
is accurate. It is always good
to learn about both the pros
and cons concerning significant
projects that would have
a major impact on our farm
community. The Yancoal proposal
is an example of a project
where lots has been written
about potential economic
benefits to local communities,
but very little information has
been available regarding the
local farming community’s
concerns about a major industrial
development that would
be located in their midst.

Myths and misinformation fog
climate change debate
The answers to some questions to help you assess
whether there really is a climate emergency
With energy and the environment
playing an important role in the fall
election, Canadians face starkly different
policy positions from political parties,
together with a bewildering array of both
information and disinformation. Here
is my rather eclectic list of little-known
facts, head-scratching paradoxes and
utter hypocrisy.
Climate Emergency
On June 17, the House of Commons
passed a motion declaring a National
Climate Emergency. Firstly, there is
no such thing as a “national” climate
emergency. Climate change is global, not
national, and Canada’s contribution to
global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is
a minuscule 1.6 per cent.
Here are the answers to some questions
that will help you assess whether
there’s really a climate emergency. How
much CO2 is in the atmosphere and how
fast is it growing? A 2018 report from
the U.S. National Oceans and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) gives
the answer. The concentration of CO2
in the atmosphere is one molecule per
2,500 molecules, compared with one
molecule per 3,000 molecules 50 years
ago. That’s an average growth rate of
just 10 molecules per year. Apocalyptic
projections of rapid sea level rises
are driving municipal and provincial
governments on both our east and west
coasts to implement sea level rise plans.
These include sterilizing waterfront from
development, building sea barriers and
Reality check
Moe’s Sask. Party trumps Ford’s
Conservatives when it comes to
sketchy political donations
Ontario Premier Doug Ford may be catching heat for promoting
a winery on his propaganda network after accepting
$2,050 in donations from its president, but Saskatchewan is
still the ‘wild west’ when it comes to campaign finance laws.
Thanks to outdated laws that the Sask. Party has refused
to change, Saskatchewan is the only province in Canada that
still allows big money to dominate its elected government and
its decisions. Corporations, unions, organizations and individuals,
including those from out of province, are allowed to
donate unlimited amounts to Saskatchewan political parties
and candidates. And the Sask. Party takes full advantage of the
legislative vacuum, raking in millions from many of the same
people and businesses that in turn enjoy lucrative government
contracts and Crown board appointments.
One need look no further than the backyard of the provincial
even buying out and destroying homes
that are deemed vulnerable. So just how
fast are sea levels rising? Here again,
the NOAA provides the answer. Despite
all the calamitous rhetoric, the NOAA
states that sea levels “continue to rise at
the rate of about one-eighth of an inch
(3.2 mm) per year.” At that rate, a house
built 10 feet above sea level today would
still be 9 feet 7 inches above sea level 40
years from now.
Climate Change Hypocrisy
South Africa, India, the Philippines,
South Korea, Japan and China – all
signatories to the Paris climate accord
– are building a combined 1,800 new
coal-fired power plants. Coal plants emit
twice as much CO2 as natural gas plants.
Meanwhile, international environmental
groups campaign against sending Canadian
LNG to those countries.
And here at home, Justin Trudeau’s
Liberals have introduced a tax specifically
designed discourage the building
of new cleaner-burning gas-fired power
plants as they pursue the fantasy that
wind and solar will keep the lights on.
Good luck with that. After hundreds of
billions of dollars invested, wind and solar
contribute just two per cent of global
energy supply. And that’s only when the
wind is blowing, and the sun is shining.
Climate Change Monovision
The Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) would have us
believe that fossil fuel emissions are the
sole reason for climate change. But what
EDITORIALS, LETTERS & OPINIONS
about urbanization and deforestation? A
study by the UN Department of Economic
and Social Affairs states that the urban
population rose from 750 million in 1950
to 4.2 billion in 2018. We don’t need
the IPCC’s complex computer models to
know that cities are hotter. All we have
to do is walk from a paved sun-heated
street lined with concrete buildings to a
grassy park. Rather than reflecting the
sun’s rays back to outer space, all that
concrete and pavement absorbs the sun
rays, creating a giant heat sink. Likewise,
deforestation is turning vast tracts of
cool African and South American jungles
into heat-absorbing barrens. The U.S.
EPA summarizes the combined effect,
“Processes such as deforestation and
urbanization … contribute to changes in
climate.” Trying to deal with any problem
without considering all possible
causes is both a foolish and dangerous
strategy.
First, do no harm
The Liberal government’s proposed
“national clean fuel standard” requires
increased biofuel content in motor fuels.
Government mandated biofuel content
requirements in North America and the
EU have driven the burning of critically
important jungle habitat to make way for
palm oil plantations. On the islands of
Borneo and Sumatra, more than 50,000
Orangutans have died because of palm
oil deforestation.
Who burns the stuff anyway?
Several municipal councils, including
Toronto and Victoria, are looking to sue
fossil-fuel producers for causing climate
change, but 70 per cent of emissions

Legislative building for evidence, where the Sask. Party recently
rewrote the rules governing Wascana Park to push through
a shockingly sweet deal on prime public real estate for their
largest corporate donor, that also donated $10,000 to Scott
Moe’s leadership campaign.
A simple comparison of the Sask Party’s donor list to the
Government of Saskatchewan’s annual payee list (Public
Accounts Vol. 2) reveals a pattern repeated year after year: a
steady stream of cash flowing from donors to the Sask Party
amounting to over $2 million over the last decade, and a long
list of government contracts going to Sask. Party donors.
In 2017, the Saskatchewan NDP tabled legislation to ban all
corporate and union donations in order to hand power back to
the people of our province, but the Sask Party government’s
MLAs unanimously voted against the measure.
Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia
have moved to limit influence on their politics, but Scott
Moe’s Sask. Party seems just fine with the status quo. Doug
Ford only wishes he had it so good.

Home Plan of the Week
Nostalgic porch fronts lofty Clearheart
By Associated Designs
An old-fashioned wraparound
porch welcomes family and friends
to the Clearheart, an otherwise
modern home packed with popular
amenities. Wood corbels accent the
three front gables. Gently arched
windows add grace and charm.
Inside, cozy niches and intriguing
ceiling treatments abound. In
the entry, for instance, the ceiling is
high and vaulted, with natural light
washing down through the overhead
dormer. The vaulting here extends
into the family room. Display
shelves overarch the passageways
to this large space and the bedroom
hallway as well.
The dining area and
family room are vaulted
while a 9’ ceiling defines
the kitchen space. And
there’s more. A lofty
vaulted ceiling adds drama
and volume to the owners’
suite, and a coffered ceiling
enhances the understated
elegance of the
bayed front room.

Human interaction
I went to a bank in the city
a few months ago to make a
simple transaction. The teller’s
response to my request was a
polite, yet pointed, “You know
you can do this online, right?”
I did know. I also know that I
enjoy human interaction and
talking to people face to face.
The way we interact with and
relate to people seems to be
changing at breakneck speed.
You can order your groceries
online and wait in your car for
someone to bring them out to
you. You can pay all of your
bills from your phone. You can
talk to family members halfway
around the world with a laptop
and Internet connection. The
list could go on. I find it sad to

B.C. Green schizophrenia
B.C. Premier John Horgan, a champion of carbon
taxes, called an inquiry to investigate high
gasoline prices, but prohibited the panel from
considering the price impact of provincial taxes.
He also wants Alberta to build a new refinery to
supply his province, but he’s against the pipeline
that’s needed to carry it.
Sorry, only foreign tankers allowed
The Trudeau government implemented a tanker
ban prohibiting movement of Canadian oil on
the northern B.C. coast. Meanwhile, hundreds
of tankers churn through the delicate and much
more enclosed St. Lawrence estuaries carrying
oil from Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Russia, Iraq,
Nigeria, Angola and Algeria. And while ship/
whale collisions are virtually unheard of on B.C.’s
northern coast, those foreign oil tankers move
through waters where a critically endangered
Northern Right Whale was killed in a ship collision
in June.
The great anti-oil industry warrior is
back
in our home because we don’t
have a landline anymore.
There are many benefits to
these advances but I fear that
we don’t realize the cost. It is
not a cost that affects our bank
accounts but rather our emotions
and our ability to relate to
one another. As we transition
into an era where most people
are on Facebook, Instagram or
Snapchat we must be very intentional
to continue to preserve
what makes us human.
There is something very
special about the human race.
We are special because of our
ability and desire to create. We
are special because our being
searches for beauty in things
even when it is rather impractical.
We are special because deep
inside we all have a longing
MINISTERIAL MESSAGES
for justice and love. There is
no question about it; we are
special. We are special and it is
no accident. We were created
special. We were stamped with
the image of our Creator.
So as we consider this summer
how to spend our time,
let’s take a moment to think
about the things that are truly
important. Things that are real.
And in this quest to regain our
humanity, let’s take time to look
to our Creator for direction.
It is only when we understand
our origins that our lives will
take on their true meaning and
purpose. It is a deeper purpose
than searching for the best
deals online or seeing what our
friends posted on social media.
It is a purpose that brings us
back to the reality of finding joy
in face-to-face life.

Gerald Butts, former personal secretary to the
Prime Minister, has been rehabilitated to help
the Liberals win re-election. Before joining the
Prime Minster’s Office (PMO), Butts was CEO of
World Wildlife Canada (WWF), an organization
that aims to “landlock” the oilsands by stopping
new pipelines. In his role as head honcho of the
PMO, he was the mastermind behind policies
that crippled our country’s oil industry. Butts
has admitted via his Twitter account to receiving
$361,642 from WWF during his first two years
at the PMO. He claims it was severance, but how
many Canadians have ever received severance for
quitting their job? Butts resigned from the PMO
after being accused of ethical transgressions related
to the SNC Lavalin scandal, but why hasn’t
this more direct and personal ethical transgression
been reported by news media?
So there you have it, my list of points to ponder
through those long and balmy mid-summer evenings
that “we the north” enjoy.

About those chickens...
There is increased awareness of animal welfare
needs on farms these days, and nowhere are
concerns more defined for many than in the case
of how chickens are raised.
There is a perception that the common cages
used in many operations are far from ideal in
terms of keeping laying hens happy …at least as
compared to a more natural approach to raising
hens that would see them with greater freedom
to roam.
But the idea of large scale laying operations to
move to hens running free range collecting eggs
in a way more akin to the small farm hen houses
of a half century ago, is not exactly reasonable in
our world either, not unless the entire farm system
of agriculture reverts to smaller scale farming.
The trend to ever larger farms dates back to
the end of the first Great War, so don’t expect that
trend to suddenly change.
That said, consumers and common sense are
going to push producers to change things, moving
at least a step or two away from the image of
crowded cages. The question for producers is how
to balance the cost of such changes with maintaining
production and returns.
A recent international study has come out suggesting
adopting higher welfare indoor systems
doesn’t increase costs as much as once thought.
The 32-page report from World Animal Protection,
an animal welfare organization with offices
in Toronto and around the globe, is suggesting
Disclaimer: opinions expressed

AG NOTES
CALVIN DANIELS
the added cost would be 13
per cent.
The 13 per cent may not
sound like a great increase,
although to suggest every operation
could make changes
and only see that increase
is a bit hard to buy into. It
would most likely be a range
depending on various factors, meaning increases
for some, and maybe even lower costs for others.
Either way, there are not a lot of businesses that
can see costs rise 13 per cent without concerns
regarding the impact on the bottom line.
While consumers might want better animal
welfare, there is not a lot of evidence they want
to pay more for food from farms investing in
change, and certainly no indication the broader
food processing system will pay more.
So how does a farmer absorb the cost of moving
to decreasing the number of birds in a barn, adding
straw, and evening changing the bloodlines of
the birds? It is a huge question for producers.
There is little doubt farmers are going to be
pushed to change, and numbers like 13 per cent
make it seem reasonable, but taking that sort of
hit to the bottom line will certainly cause issues
for producers making the adjustment.

and international baton twirling champion, in the parade.

resident Bev Kuntz (right) serving anniversary cake to Monica
Baird and her children.
The Centennial Celebration of
Saskatchewan Beach was an opportunity
for the resort village to celebrate
not only its history, but also its local
community life and spirit. The special
event was held on Saturday, June 29,
2019.
The festivities for the day began
with a pancake and sausage breakfast
organized by the Silton Fire Department.
Later, people gathered along the
streets to watch the awesome parade
which was organized by Deb Piller.
The parade consisted of an amazing
demonstration by our very own national
and international baton twirling
champion Danielle Skinner, and also
included some wonderfully decorated
golf carts, beautiful floats, vintage vehicles,
old farm machinery and more!
During the day, people had the
opportunity to browse at the historical
display in the community hall.
Resident Bert Wilson had gathered
a collection of historical information
and photographs which was printed
on poster size paper and hung on
the walls in the hall. As well, a video
presentation with more historical
information was available for people
to watch. Also, on display in the hall
was Saskatchewan Beach’s Centennial
Time Capsule which resembles a
vintage trunk. Presently, some of the
items inside of the Time Capsule are a copy of the
Centennial Story Booklet, family photographs,
the June 28, 2019 issue of the Leader Post, a
Regina 2005 kerchief and many other interesting
items. Saskatchewan Beach residents can
still contribute items to the Time Capsule until
September 30, 2019. The Time Capsule will be
sealed later this year and will be opened in 2044
when Saskatchewan Beach celebrates its 125th
anniversary.
Another highlight of the day was free wagon
ride tours of Saskatchewan Beach by local area
resident Bob Wilson. Some of the unique places
seen on the tour included a number of cabins
that have been owned by the same family from
generation to generation for an amazing 87 to 114
years; the location of the CPR flag stop; the Lady
of the Lake R.C. Church (designed by famous
architect Clifford Wiens); St. Mary’s Anglican
Church (one of five Anglican churches built in
Saskatchewan with the same design); the Benjafield
Homestead (the family contributed to the
development of Saskatchewan Beach and Silton),
and the location of Sailor’s Rest.
An Information Centre and Centennial Store
was located in front of the municipal office. A
nice variety of Centennial souvenirs were available
for purchase which included photo coasters,
calendars, history story booklets, adult hoodies,
adult and children t-shirts, screwdrivers, mini
flashlights, tote bags, pens and more. These
unique items are on a sellout sale at the municipal
office. A BBQ lunch was available, and
while people enjoyed the lunch, wonderful live
entertainment was provided by Times of Our
Lives. Free popcorn, candy floss, Centennial cake
and ice cream were also available to everyone
during the day. Plus, kids were treated to a free
children’s fair which included face painting and
balloon art by the Street Culture Kidz, a bouncy
tent and a craft making area. During the afternoon
and into the evening, adults enjoyed a cold
beverage in the beer gardens tent which was setup
in the park and enjoyed great music provided
by Evolution Sound DJ Services.
At 4:00 pm, the Official Unveiling Ceremony
took place. The master of ceremonies for the program
was Jacqueline Chouinard. The program
began with having everyone look up, way up to
the sky and towards the lake to witness a spectacular
fly-by provided by 15 Wing Moose Jaw!
The dignitaries, councilors and administration
in attendance at the ceremony included Mike
Molloy who said a few words on behalf of his

Let go of hurt
and anger
Are you upset or angry with someone
in your life? Did the situation
which caused you to feel that way happen
just recently, or some time ago?
What does it feel like, in your body,
when you think about this? Often we
feel a tightening or heaviness in our
heart or our gut.
No matter what someone has done
to us, no matter how right we might
be to feel upset, we are the ones who
carry the emotional weight as long as
we remain upset. The turmoil within
takes a toll on us, while the one who

caused it may have put it out of his or her mind. It is said
that acid eats away at the container that holds it. Resentment
is like drinking poison and hoping the other will die!
Neuroscience has shown that when we are angry or
upset, our immune system is suppressed for six to eight
hours. If we then tell someone about how angry or hurt
we are, the process of immune suppression continues for
another six to eight hours.
If we dwell on our hurts, whether in relationship or in
the workplace, constantly talking about how we have been
wronged, then we can have continual immune system
suppression. Does this mean we will get more cold and flu?
Not necessarily.
However, we do not want those T-cells that fight cancer
to be immobilized. We do not want to suffer more headaches,
digestive problems, anxiety or depression. These
can all be caused by toxic relationships. The toxic part is
how we react to them. We create our own internal poison
either by being toxic ourselves, or staying in an unhealthy
situation.
We do not have to stay hurt. Here are the options. If we
have a generally good relationship with the person, and
they did not intend to hurt us, we can simply decide to let
it go. If the relationship has ‘issues’, and our hurt comes
from ongoing insensitivity to our feelings, we can attempt
to see if there can be a way to resolve the problem.
If the relationship is worth it, professional help would
be a good investment. If the problem is with someone we
do not need or want to associate with, we can just let it
go, along with the person. The relationship is clearly not a
healthy one if we find ourselves always harboring resentment.
The bottom line here is that, one way or another, we
must find a way to let go of hurt and anger: that feeling it
creates in our bodies is the signal that it does unhealthy
things to us. It is up to us to detoxify ourselves, or to get
out of toxic situations.

Bob Hawes Fishing Derby
On July 20, 2019 the 7th Annual Bob Hawes
Memorial Fishing Derby was held at Last Mt.
Reg. Park. Mother Nature provided perfect
fishing weather, the very best ever for this
event. The Hawes family great fully thanked
the 79 participants who took to the lake to
catch ‘ the big one’.
Warren Schmidt and Donna Hawes presented
the awards to Jase McNichol who caught the
largest (26 3/4”) Walleye in the youth division
and Darryl Kerr who caught the largest
(27 1/2”) walleye in the Overall division. I
overheard many of those participating that
they had caught fish very close to those sizes.
Congratulations to Jase and Darryl. There was
a delicious roast beef supper served after the
presentation. Those attending could also watch
the Riders vs Lions on the big screen. A very
successful day with proceeds going to the boat
launch in memory of Bob Hawes.
-Lynn Gettis
I am looking to check into the ‘Asylum’
known as the Council Chambers of the
RM of McKillop
So why am I running in the upcoming by-election for Division 1?
Well, I have been receiving a lot of positive feed back on the
articles that I have been writing, especially the article on “The Tale
of Two Hamlets”. The common thread in the discussions is that almost
no one understood how terribly unfairly the RM of McKillop
continues to manage the privileges and the special tax treatment
that the organized hamlets receive, specifically, being able to direct
a significant portion of their tax dollars towards community
upgrades that the unorganized hamlets can only dream of, and on
top of that, the unorganized hamlets and the rural and Ag sector
have to subsidize the tax shortfall because of that special privilege.
If elected, I will work to pressure council to make changes to
make the tax treatment and services provided for unorganized and
organized hamlets more equitable. It can be done without adding
any additional tax burden to the unorganized hamlets and with no
negative impact for the Ag and rural ratepayers. Some will try to
call me a liar and say it cannot be done. Well folks, a number of
sections within the Municipalities Act provide the tools for council
and ratepayers to accomplish exactly what I am proposing.
As many of you know I resigned from council earlier this year.
The primary reason, I simply could not, in all good conscience,
preside over a council that was obviously prepared to allow Councillor
Rudy Thompson, who by the way is an active developer, to
pressure council to make changes to the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw which support his own personal
financial objectives and agenda. After the draft Official Community Plan and Zoning bylaws were completed
and distributed for public review, it is obvious that he achieved his objective. Had I stayed on I have no reason to
believe that the outcome would have changed and I would also have to wear the shame of assisting someone in
achieving his own personal agenda.
By electing my opponent, a resident of the Organized Hamlet of Alta Vista, the face of council will look like
this: the Reeve and four Councillors from Organized Hamlets whose voters will be really pi--ed with any changes
to the special tax treatment that they receive; one developer who is in an obvious conflict of interest, cares little
about anything else but his own selfish agenda and has stated he has no intention to be on council after the fall
election next year; and one Councillor, who is only a seasonal resident, who owns a cottage in one of the two very
small hamlets that receives special treatment on the land portion their tax levy, which by the way, other hamlets
can only dream about.
So, I ask the residents of Shore Acres, Heritage Valley and Sun Dale as well as the rural and Ag residents of
Division 1 - do you not think you should be treated better and more fairly?
Please get out and vote. August 28th 2019, 9 am to 8 pm Bulyea Community Hall
Thank you for your support

Marjory Smith’s milestone birthday
The extended family members who helped Marj celebrate her upcoming 100th birthday!
In celebration of Marjory Smith’s 100th year of life (birthday Jan. 23, 2020), 75 family members
recently gathered to honour her at an early 100th “summer” birthday party in Saskatoon.
Events began Friday evening, July 19th with a delicious barbeque hosted by Marjory’s grandson
Alan Smith. On Saturday, events resumed with a group of golfers teeing off at Greenbryre
Golf & Country Club, others enjoyed the Taste of Saskatchewan Festival, while some of the
younger members locked themselves up to cooperatively unravel the clues of an Escape Room.
A seven-generation family tree on display was of great interest to all while, the “Grandma Smith
Trivia Game” helped everyone learn much more about the daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt,
grandmother and great grandmother they thought they knew! A delicious meal catered by
Greenbryre was enjoyed, followed up by a cake decorated with pictures of Marjory as a baby and
young adult. A short program began with son Morris, sketching Marjory’s life from birth to present
followed by a slide presentation and video clips of many precious moments, closing with a
few short words from Marjory herself. The evening continued on at son Wes and Michele’s home.
The weekend wrapped up on Sunday with a garden party brunch hosted at the home of daughter
Eldeen and Dan Borys.
Those in attendance over the weekend included: Marjory’s seven surviving children and
spouses, 17 of her 19 grandchildren and spouses, as well as all 18 of her great grandchildren, in
addition to several nieces, nephews and her sister-in-law Verna (Smith) Banford, age 89. Family
members travelled to Saskatoon from Nokomis, Moose Jaw, Eyebrow, Regina, Winnipeg, Lloydminster,
Calgary, Edmonton, North Vancouver, White Rock, Japan and South Africa.

famous its old/refurbished and vintage
vehicles. There it is necessary due to
the decade’s old trade embargo with
the U.S. But, here in the valley, many
of those grand carriers of days gone by
are still maintained and roadworthy,
because of diligent care, a sincere interest
in the vintage,
and a deep love
of keeping with
tradition.
Regina Beach
resident, Art Jacobs explains that he’s
“I have had a old
vehicle of some style
all my driving life,”
had a hands-on interest in cars for
more than six decades. Not surprisingly,
his career before retirement, was
working as a mechanic!
“I bought my first car at the age of
14,” says Jacobs. “It was a 1928 Ford
which I got running and then sold
before I was able to legally drive. I have
owned many vintage vehicles over
the years. Some were Chevrolets from
1939, 1955 and 1957. I owned a 1965
GTO which I drove for a year and then
sold. I restored a 1969 Charger and
then sold it.”
That is almost 100 years worth of
automotive history and knowledge!
Today, Jacobs owns a 1964 Mercury
Marauder which is in perfect condition.
He is the second owner of this impressive
silver grey vehicle. It isn’t used for
every day driving, but he does drive it
around town, and it can be viewed at
car shows in and around the valley.
“I have taken my car to several car
shows including Access Communications’
Show and Shine in Regina,
and the Moose Jaw Car Show at the
Air Strip.” Jacobs says there are also
local car shows, which are always well
attended. “The Lumsden Car Show
and Shine has a lot
of interest, as does
the Watrous Fun
Run Auto Show and
Shine. My Marauder
won the best 60’s/70’s Classic Car in
2018 at the Watrous Car Show.”
During summer months, classic vehicles
can be seen out and about, doing
every day business in Regina Beach.
It causes heads to turn, but there are
more than just a small handful of the
prime vehicles in town. There are
dozens of roadworthy, vintage vehicles.
This is most apparent during Canada
Day when classic vehicles are polished
up and showcased, as part of the parade.
Beach resident Laurie Graff, owns
three of those vehicles, a 1955 Pontiac,
1964 Buick and 1967 Bonniville,
“I have had a old vehicle of some style
all my driving life,” says Graff. “So that
means I have been driving a vintage
model for at least 50 years.”
Like Jacobs, Graff says he learned
about car maintenance at an early age.
“My father was a auto mechanic and
owned his own shop,” he says. “Dad
taught me a lot about old vehicles,
so they aren’t really that difficult to
maintain. Anything I don’t know, I can
ask, and we now belong to the Antique
Auto Association of Regina. There is a
wealth of knowledge available in that
car club.”
Jacobs agrees, saying that keeping
the old cars in working order isn’t as
onerous as might be expected. “Car
enthusiasts share stories. Someone will
know where to find hard to find parts.
Besides, it is not difficult to maintain
most of the vintage cars, especially if
you are able to do the work yourself.
Repair parts are available on-line
through organizations that specialize
in Ford and Mercury parts, like my
car.”
In short, it is a labour of love for car
collectors to restore and maintain. In
doing so stories about a way of life are
kept alive as are the memories, highlighting
just another piece of unique
history on the south shore.

Semans Old Fashioned Saturday
It was a busy weekend in Semans on July
26 and 27, 2019. For many weeks the community
prepared for Old Fashioned Saturday.
The town and cemetery were trimmed up and
ready for visitors. Friday evening the “Class of
94” celebrated their 25th school reunion at the
arena. Saturday morning the Semans Legion
hosted a pancake and sausage breakfast at the
Legion Hall. The rest of the festivities were
held at the school grounds and gymnasium.
The fancy cars, trucks and a semi parked on
the school grounds for display for the Show
and Shine. There were 17 cars and trucks and
one semi. The “Best in Show” was awarded to
Bob Digney of Semans for his 1968 Firebird.
Congratulations Bob, that’s a beauty of a car!
The Semans Gym was open offering a
cool place to rest, visit and eat. The Semans
Seniors and Candlelight Quilters sold beef on
a bun meal, homemade pies, ice cream and refreshments.
A shady spot on the north side of
the gym was a welcome spot for the beer gardens
along with entertainment by ‘Hammer
Jammer’. Wanda Shiels had a busy afternoon
with face painting for
the young ones. Ol’ McDales Friendly Farm
and Traveling Petting Zoo was a great place
to relax and pet the many birds and animals.
A children’s Bouncy house, Blow up Boxing
Ring and Wrecking Ball kept many children
entertained. A high light for the younger
crowd was the Bicycle Parade. Many bikes
were brightly decorated for the day. After a
parade around the school grounds each biker
was given a treat bag and a toy compliments of
Semans Cenntennial Comm and Affinity Credit
Union, Semans. Alicia and Evan Mann gave
horse drawn wagon rides through out the day.
Harvey Linnen arrived later in the afternoon
with his horse drawn stage coach. Harvey gave
rides around town in and on top of the stage
coach. The day closed
with a caberet dance in the gym. Music was
provided by Grim Inc. with Semans own Colin
Phillips as a member of the band.Semans Candlelight
Quilters raffle of a Summertime Fun
Basket was won by Jose Digney. Congratulations
Jose, hope you enjoy your summertime
prize.
The Semans Centennial Committee did
a fabulous job of planning, organizing and
working at this annual event. The weather
was warm and a nice breeze made for a successful
day. They hope you all enjoyed yourselves
and look forward to seeing everyone at
the next Old Fashion Saturday.
The Saskatchewan Lawn and Garden Tractor
Collectors Club gathered in Semans on July 27
in conjunction with the Semans Old Fashion
Saturday. There were 10 lawn and garden
tractors on display. Many of original parts and
some modified. Three pedal tractors were also
on display, rode and owned by Jayce Digney,
Eric Hillis and Harley Lekivetz. Show judge
was Garfield Beaudry of Raymore. Awards
were given out by Malcolm Bains and Narissa
Digney. Best in Show was won by Neil Bruce,

Nokomis social news
Just catching up since my last report before the Times went on their annual 2
week summer break. Some of this may be ‘old news’, but better ‘old’ than none at
all!
On Sunday, July 21st, Hazel Chute celebrated her 96th birthday. She had
a very busy day with friends dropping in for coffee, and in the afternoon her
daughter Noreen, son-in-law Bob Walker, and grandchildren came with a birthday
cake. She also had company in the evening, several phone calls, and 50 or
more ‘best wishes’ on Facebook! She is one amazing, popular lady! Hazel also
has a live-in personal care aide, Ms. Dale LaFrenere …so, if you see her out and
about, say “Hi”.
Word was received on July 22nd that Aaron Boak recently passed away. The
family lived in Nokomis years ago, and Aaron worked for the Co-op and C.I.L.
When it closed, the family moved to Humboldt, then later to Assiniboia where
he managed a hotel until his retirement. Aaron was 89 years old.
On July 27th, Cliff and Kathy Metheral, of Nokomis, Reg and Ruth Greves,
of Lockwood, Lorna and Merv Sigstad, of Quill Lake; Bob and Blandina Pilkey,
of Dafoe, Ross Reynolds, of Lanigan, and I attended the 100th birthday of the
Ammu family farm home. The home is located on Highway 16 between Dafoe
and Kandahar. It’s a big, beautiful old house, and has been home for several
members of the family. It is still lived-in today. The three day celebration attracted
about 300 people, and the Saturday event featured a fantastic BBQ, and
local live entertainment. The evening closed with a performance by the Little
Miss Higgins Band.
Lorna (Mansell) Sigstad enjoyed a week of camping in the Nokomis Campground,
while husband Merv was on a fishing trip to Whelan Bay, on White
Swan Lake with his fishing buddies. Lorna enjoyed her visiting with old friends.
Nokomis Seniors news
On Tuesday, August 6th, we held our regular monthly meeting at the Seniors
Center. Vice-president Dave Smith called the meeting to order. Secretary
Maureen Tait read the minutes of the last meeting, and also gave the Treasurer’s
report. Discussion followed on new floor covering …we have a price, but
now must wait to see if we qualify for a grant to cover some of the cost. All card
games are scheduled for August. It was in the June minutes. Monday morning
coffee parties resume in September; the birthday party has been re-scheduled
to August 30th. Next meeting is September 3rd. There is a poster in the window
showing coming events. The 500 Card party is Tuesday, August 13th, the same
day as the Nokomis Seniors Golf Tournament, so I will be golfing (unless there’s
pouring rain!)
Community condolences to the Hards family on the recent passing of Rick.

Sell your house
The other day I saw a Volkswagen bus, or camper, or
van, or microbus. I honestly don’t know what I saw,
but it was the common van-shaped VW in pretty
minty condition, and with the classic VW sound. Popular for
decades with both painters and hippies alike, I think those
old vans are pretty cool, especially if they’re in good shape,
and lacking the paint spatter and ladder dents in the roof
that a lot of them have. If you own one, you don’t technically
need a house, and I believe that’s why they’re so popular
with hippies. You can live up north in the summer, and
down south in the winter. Sure, it makes steady employment
rather difficult, bordering on impossible, but think of the
cash you’ll save in fuel economy alone. That brings me to my next lack of understanding:
are they actually fuel efficient? They’re kind of bulky, and I’ve always
assumed that they’re fairly underpowered. Also, I’ve seen a lot of them smoke.
Regardless, Volkswagen products had to have earned their fuel consumption
reputation somewhere, so I’ll keep thinking it. Nowadays, the Jetta, Passat and
Golf are the popular cars, with the Touareg and Tiguan giving consumers an
SUV option. What about those who want something larger yet? Perhaps something
they can drive and live in? They’re in luck, as the Volkswagen California
camper van is coming to North America.
If I were working for marketing at Volkswagen, not only would I be horribly
under-qualified, but I’d also be flukeishly lucky, as I would have also chosen
to debut the new model in a two-tone orange and white. Lime green and white
would be my second choice, with maybe pale yellow or light blue as a distant
third. The two-tone option is available on the top shelf package, known as
Ocean, which also includes a chrome grille and bumper. There’s also Coast and
Beach, rounding out the mid and base models. Ocean and Coast both feature the
ultimate in “sell your house” options, a kitchen, featuring a hidden fridge, sink,
and cooker. There’s wood grain inside, a retractable awning outside, and even
the iconic pop-up roof with screened-in sides. Why tow a tent-trailer when you
can drive one, only so much better? There’s hidden storage compartments everywhere,

TDI turbo diesel four cylinder making just under two-hundred horsepower. It’s
been described as “highly efficient” and it powers the front wheels, with an allwheel

Crop Report
For the period July 30 to August 5
Harvest operations have already
begun in some parts of the province,
according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s
weekly Crop Report. As crops
continue to mature in the next few
weeks, most producers will begin to
harvest. Some crops are one-to-two
weeks behind in development and
this may be of concern depending on
weather during harvest.
Scattered rainfall covered parts
of the province this week with some
storms bringing hail. The moisture
has helped later-seeded crops fill and
replenish topsoil moisture. Rainfall
ranged from trace amounts to 94 mm
in the Porcupine Plain area.
Provincially, topsoil moisture on
cropland is rated as one per cent
surplus, 60 per cent adequate, 36 per
cent short and
three per cent
very short.

and we’ll print Kelly’s response in an upcoming issue
Topsoil moisture on hay land and pasture
is rated as one per cent surplus,
48 per cent adequate, 41 per cent short
and 10 per cent very short.
Across the province, pasture
conditions are rated as four per cent
excellent, 28 per cent good, 45 per cent
fair, 19 per cent poor and four per cent
very poor. Additional rainfall would
be beneficial for the pastures as they
mature before harvest.
The majority of crop damage this
week was from strong winds, hail,
localized flooding, insects and a lack
of moisture. There are reports of ascochyta
blight causing significant damage
in chickpea crops in the southern
regions. Producers are haying, hauling
bales and getting ready for harvest.
