Proposed development north of Strasbourg dead
Town invites other
players to come forward
Editor’s note: On Sept 12, 2019,
the Town of Strasbourg posted the
following ‘Press Release’ on its website.
It was not sent out to the ‘press’
and I just learned of the posting on
October 2nd. The following is the
complete text of the Town’s ‘press
release’.
In 2012, a condominium development
company, Bridgeroad
Developments Ltd., along with
local Strasbourg investors, began
pursuing potential development
opportunities in the Town of Strasbourg
(hereinafter referred to as
the “Town”). Unfortunately, at the
time, Water Security Agency (WSA)
and the Provincial Government of
Saskatchewan indicated the Town’s
water and wastewater infrastructure
was at the maximum allowable
capacity. The infrastructure could
therefore not support the development
of new multi-unit residences.
While the Town was not required
to expand the wastewater lagoon or
water treatment plant, the Council
and Administration of the day started
planning for expansions to both
facilities to accommodate future
development.
In December 2016, the Administration
was successful in obtaining
a Federal/Provincial grant of
$2,586,609 to expand the Town’s
lagoon system. The current Council
approved the expansion and capital
spending. Walker Projects Inc.
was the engineering firm hired to
plan and run the project. In 2017,
Council approved additional capital
spending to upgrade the water treatment
plant, without grant money, to
remove any infrastructure limitations
on potential new development.
Money spent by the Town to allow
Nominations closed for 2019 Election
Candidate nominations for the
2019 federal election closed at 2:00
p.m. local time on Monday, September
30. There are 2,146 candidates
running in the election, across Canada’s
338 electoral districts.
In the two federal constituencies
in the Last Mountain Times local
coverage area – Moose Jaw – Lake
Centre – Lanigan, and Regina-Qu’Appelle
– there is a full slate
of candidates running: five in Moose
Jaw – Lake Centre – Lanigan; and
eight in Regina-Qu’Appelle.
The nominated candidates are, in
alphabetical order by last name: in
Moose Jaw – Lake Centre – Lanigan:
Chey Craik, People’s Party
of Canada; Tom Lukiwski, Conservative
Party of Canada; Cecilia
Melanson, Liberal Party of Canada;
Talon Regent, New Democratic Party;
and Gillian Walker, Green Party
of Canada.
In Regina-Qu’Appelle: Ray Aldinger,
New Democratic Party; Jordan
Ames-Sinclair, Liberal Party of
Canada; Dale DeWar, Green Party of
for new development:
Lagoon
Evaporation
Cell - $1,271,253
(Town’s portion);
Water Treatment
Plant Reservoir:
$657,655.00
Total: $1,927,908
spent to allow
for increased capacity for development.
$1,500,000 long-term debt +
$427,908 paid from reserves.
In 2015, two Developers, G&L
Developments Ltd. (hereinafter referred
to as “G&L” or “Developers”),
contacted the Town regarding the
possibility of pursuing development
on their land in the north end of the
town (NW ¼ 25-24-22-W2M, Ext
39 and NW ¼ 25-24-22-W2M, Ext
40). At that time, the infrastructure
was not in place to support new
development, but the Town kept in
contact with the Developers regarding
the status of the infrastructure
expansion.
On March 27, 2017, following the
Town’s announcement regarding the
infrastructure expansion, G&L met
with Council to discuss their ideas
for a large subdivision on their land.
Simultaneously, Steelcreek Developers
(formerly known as Bridgeroad
Developments Ltd.) were contacted
to discuss the possibility of resuming
their 2012 condominium project
and land that would potentially be

Canada; Eric Normand, Rhinocéros
Party; James Plummer, Libertarian
Party of Canada; Andrew Scheer,
Conservative Party of Canada;
Tracey Sparrowhawk, People’s Party
of Canada; and Kieran Szuchewycz,
Independent.
Elections Canada issued a media
release with a list of all nominated
candidates, including their contact
information. Some parties appear
to be running ‘name on the ballot’
campaigns in the local area, as there
is no discernible contact information.
It is indeed strange that
candidates are able to be ‘officially
nominated’ and yet not provide any
direct contact information to Elections
Canada. I discovered this as I
was attempting to send emails to all
the nominated candidates inviting
them to submit a candidate profile
for publication (at no charge) in the
upcoming October 14th edition of
the paper.

available for such a project. The Administration put Steelcreek Developers in
contact with G&L as a way for both entities to mutually benefit in the development.
G&L held three more meetings with Council before hosting a public meeting
on February 1, 2018. The public meeting was well attended, with many residents
expressing support for an assisted living senior’s complex. With the Town’s
assistance, G&L conducted a follow-up survey. The results of the survey demonstrated
that an assisted living senior’s complex was a priority for residents of the
Town and surrounding region.
Council held five meetings with G&L throughout 2018 and 2019 and corresponded
through numerous emails and phone calls. Council’s intent was to cooperate
with the Developers while ensuring the interests of Town residents and
ratepayers were protected. The Developers provided engineering studies that
determined a sewage lift station would be required in order to develop the land
owned by G&L. The Developers then requested ownership of the land owned by
the Town, which would not require a lift station. The Developers requested the
Town transfer the land without compensation.
In 2012, Parcel C, which separates Maple Street from the Developers’ land,
was appraised at $81,500. The Developers requested that this land be included
in their development. They stated that without Parcel C, their development
would be unfeasible. Council agreed to consider the request in an effort to facilitate
development. The Developers also requested the right to develop Parcel
R, a parcel of municipal reserve, located behind the west side of Maple Street.
In order to transfer municipal reserve, Council must first pass a bylaw to either
close and sell or close and exchange the municipal reserve. This means, the
land would have to be purchased from the Town or a portion of land, in equal or
greater value, would need to be provided to the Town. The bylaw would require
approval by the Ministry of Government Relations prior to coming into force.
Since the current Council and Administration are not experienced developers,
and because of the complexity of the proposed development, the Town has relied
upon professional contract planners, engineers, and legal counsel for guidance.
The Town wants to do the best possible job of supporting development while
protecting the Town’s interests. To date, the Town has spent $14,108.04 on planning,
engineering, and legal reviews for G&L’s proposal. The Town did not bill
any of these costs to G&L as Council felt it was part of the learning process and
a show of good faith in the development. In keeping with the Town’s existing Development
Fee Bylaw #345/15, G&L was informed in April 2019 that any further
costs to the Town in support of their proposal would be billed to the Developer.
It is understood that new development requires new infrastructure, including
roads, water and sewer lines, sidewalks, curbs, manholes, street lights,
landscaping, water retention ponds, etc. While the Developers are responsible
for the cost of installing this infrastructure, it ultimately becomes the Town’s
responsibility to maintain and replace them in future years, which can become a
significant cost. Council does not deem it fair to have current ratepayers subsidize
new development, and our professional advisors recommended imposing
off-site development fees to ensure that the current, and any future developers,
pay their share of the capital costs for infrastructure.
In 2018, the Town hired Walker Projects Inc. to conduct an infrastructure
study. The purpose of the study was to determine the estimated capital cost
to service future growth areas, as identified in the Town’s Official Community
Plan. As per the infrastructure study, each new subdivided lot in the development
would be required to pay a fee of $11,300 per lot. As legislated by The
Planning and Development Act, 2007, these off-site development fees are to be
put in a reserve account and to be used to pay for the capital cost associated
with new infrastructure.
At the Council’s last meeting with G&L on April 2, 2019, the Council asked
G&L if they were willing to develop an assisted living senior’s complex only, and
forgo their 30-lot subdivision plan for the time being. The Developers declined
that option, and outlined the information and documentation they needed to
proceed with the engineering feasibility study that they required to proceed
with their 30-lot project. Council agreed to work on a legally-binding land transfer
agreement with G&L and subsequently requested that all discussion on the
land transfer agreement be in writing to ensure that there were no misunderstandings
and no surprises for either party. In addition, Council set a deadline
to prevent unreasonable delays by either party.
As part of the draft land transfer agreement correspondence, G&L was advised
that the Town’s Planning and Development Fee Bylaw #345/15 would be
updated to reflect the increased costs to all current and future developers and
that they would be subject to the updated fees. In addition, Council provided
written clarification on a previous verbal discussion about a buffer zone between
the existing housing on the north side of Maple Street and the new development
to ensure the Developers were not surprised by the Town’s expectations after
any agreement was signed.
Council has been through two revisions of a land transfer agreement with the
Developers, but have not been able to reach an agreement. As per The Municipalities
Act, any municipal land to be sold for less than market value requires a
public meeting. Written and verbal submissions, in favour or against the land
transfer, could be provided to the Town.
G&L held another Public Meeting on August 28, 2019*, where they announced
that they did not agree with the terms the Council was proposing, and would not
be pursuing their 30-lot development on the north side of Town. The Developers
then followed up in writing with an email to Council confirming they were
withdrawing their proposal.
Council has formally acknowledged their withdrawal, and will immediately
begin to promote the idea of a stand-alone assisted living senior’s complex
development in Strasbourg. For those interested in pursuing this venture, the
Town Council and Administration are very much willing to work to get this project
off the ground and will assist in any way they feasibly can.

media to, or made the local media aware of the Aug. 28th ‘Public Meeting.’

NEWS BRIEFS
Government has refused multiple
offers to avoid Crowns strike
REGINA, Oct. 3, 2019 - Unifor says
various offers to find a resolution to the
ongoing contract dispute with Crown
employers have all been rebuffed by
the provincial government, leaving
the union with no other option than to
strike.
“Contract negotiations must be about
a give and take—but the Moe government’s
refusal to bargain fairly is
driving Saskatchewan towards a major
service disruption,” said Jerry Dias,
Unifor National President. “Unifor has
presented creative offers to find a path
forward, but the government seems
intent on forcing a strike.”
Some Crown bargaining committees
collective agreements have been
expired for two years or longer, in
an attempt to find a solution to the
government’s proposed wage freeze
mandate. The union recently offered
to accept lump sum payments in lieu
of a base wage increase in the expired
years of their contract. In the most recent
offer, committees have also made
offers to accept wage increases of 2 per
cent in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Serious
non-monetary issues relating to job
security remain outstanding.
“What’s good enough for politicians
should be good enough for the families
of Crown workers,” said Dias. “Given
the healthy cost of living increases to
MLA salaries, Crown workers are being
more than reasonable in their position.”
On Friday, October 4 at 12:01 a.m.
nearly 5,000 workers at SaskTel,
SaskEnergy, SaskPower, SaskWater,
DirectWest, SecurTek, and the Water
Security Agency were poised to strike
if a tentative agreement cannot be
bargained.
New Saskatoon hospital
operational
On Monday, Sept. 30, the Saskatchewan
Health Authority announced that
Last Mountain Times • Monday, October 7, 2019 • lmtimes.ca
the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital is
fully operational.
As the first pediatric surgery and outpatient
clinics opened, Saskatchewan
Health Authority (SHA) began its first
full day of operations in the province’s
new children’s and maternal hospital.
After years of design, building, planning
and preparation, patients are now
settled in and the new Jim Pattison
Children’s Hospital is officially open..
“Our dedicated staff, nurses and
physicians all worked together to ensure
the big move to our beautiful new
hospital yesterday was a success,” said
Carrie Dornstauder, Executive Director
of Maternal and Children’s Programs
for Saskatchewan Health Authority.
“It’s that staff collaboration, along with
the assistance of our moving company,
Health Care Relocations (HCR), and
the cooperation of our patients and
families throughout the day that meant
we could make this move a positive
experience for our patients and their
families.”
RUH adult and JPCH children’s
emergency, pediatric and maternal
services opened in the new hospital at
6 a.m. on the 29th. The first patient – a
child needing emergency care - entered
the hospital at 6:10 a.m. The first new
patient was admitted to JPCH at 7 a.m.
that morning. The first new maternal
patient arrived at JPCH at 8:45 a.m.
September 29. The big patient move for
Pediatric and Maternal services began
at about 7:17 a.m. on September 29 and
was completed at 11:31 a.m. – three
minutes ahead of schedule, despite
additional patients being added along
the way. All patients moved without incident.
In total, 112 maternal and child
patients were moved from RUH to their
new patient rooms inside JPCH. All
adult emergency department patients
were transferred to the new emergency
room by 1:15 p.m.
Once the doors to the new children’s
and maternal hospital opened, it didn’t
take long for babies to begin arriving.
The first baby born at JPCH was
delivered at 2:32 p.m. As of this 11 a.m.
today, six babies have been born at
JPCH.
The last baby born at Royal University
Hospital, which has provided maternal
services for the province since
1955, arrived at 9:13 a.m. on Sunday.
While all inpatient services are available
at JPCH now, pediatric outpatient
services will continue to ramp up over
the course of the next few weeks and
months in the new facility. Patients
and families are advised to pay close
attention to information provided in
their appointment letters so they will
know where they need to go for their
outpatient appointments in upcoming
months. The hospital is still addressing
several safety deficiencies that were
flagged a couple of weeks ago
New program gives teachers
greater access to counselling
services
SASKATOON – The Saskatchewan
Teachers’ Federation is launching a
new service for its members. Through
a Member and Family Assistance Program,
teaching professionals in every
corner of the province will now have
24-hour access to professional counselling
services.
“Teachers can’t give their best if they
aren’t at their best”, said Patrick Maze,
Federation President. “Just as it is
for the rest of the population, mental
health is an important health issue for
teachers. This new program will provide
teachers timely, universal access
to the services they require.”
Members asked for a program that
could respond to their changing and
diverse needs, regardless of where they
live in the province. While discussed
during previous rounds of provincial
collective bargaining, mental health
supports have never been included in
a provincial contract. Using funds provided
by the government to fund the
Members’ Health Plan, the Federation
is pleased to be acting on members’
requests by making this available to
teachers.
The program will increase services
offered, while enhancing accessibility
3
and equity throughout the province.
Services provided include:
• Counselling
• Legal and financial consultation
• Work-life solutions
• Wellness
Currently, the Federation provides
in-house counsellors to members.
While the in-house counselling service
will be phased out, long-term counselling
will still be covered through the
Members’ Health Plan.

EDITORIALS, LETTERS & OPINIONS
How the leading parties will confront global warming
The Greens offer the most
comprehensive plan. But it,
like all the other platforms,
is significantly shortly on
details about costs
During this federal election campaign,
my youngest grandchild turned
three months old and I had my 79th
birthday. What can I hope for our
futures? I cast my first vote for John
Diefenbaker’s Progressive Conservatives
before most of today’s voters were
born and steadily migrated through
the ideological spectrum. I worked in
Pierre Trudeau’s Liberal office, belonged
to the NDP for 35 plus years
(I ran provincially in Alberta for the
great Grant Notley in 1982), and then
my growing obsession about global
warming sent me into the Green Party,
our best electoral hope to combat this
crisis.
Today’s world is at least dimly aware
that global warming threatens civilization.
But cautious politicians and confused
voters have wasted at least a generation
in denial, grudging acceptance
and knowingly inadequate first steps.
Today’s electorate is more worried as
gloomier projections by scientists and
young people like Greta Thunberg are
galvanizing public opinion.
The 2019 election may turn into a
referendum on global warming. I hope
so, although wealth disparity and racism
need strong responses, too. Indeed,
effective global warming policies will
address them (think of hundreds of
millions of poor non-Caucasian climate
refugees). Furthermore, global warming
is only part of our existential crisis.
Earth is also in the midst of a sixth
great extinction, partly due to global
warming but for other reasons as well.
Global efforts have been inadequate
here as well. I see little evidence that
the world will undergo the necessary
change in worldview that alone can
save us.
What do Canada’s political parties
offer now on global warming? Only
brief summaries are possible here, but
I think the Green Party’s ideas are the
best and the Conservatives’ the least
credible.
Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives oppose
a carbon tax, preferring more expensive
and less effective policies with
unspecified limits to try to achieve the
inadequate greenhouse gas reductions
first put forward by Stephen Harper.
Unfortunately, the situation has become
far more dire and everyone knew
Harper’s limits would never achieve
global goals. According to an analysis
by the Globe and Mail, “The Conservative
Party … staunchly supports the
oil and gas sector and its continued
expansion and does not believe that
policies tackling climate change should
impact household pocket books. The
policy options left to the Tories then
are limited and several experts have
concluded that they will fall far short
of Canada’s commitment.” Scrapping
the carbon tax would be an historic
mistake. Surely not many people will
vote Conservative because of this plan,
unless they want to delay necessary
action.
The same Globe and Mail analysis
says the Liberal government “concluded
a sweeping agreement with
provinces and territories (minus
Saskatchewan) that laid down a road
map for achieving the Paris targets
and promised joint action. The federal
government has embarked on enacting
some 50 measures − from the carbon
tax, to support for electric vehicles, to
regulations on the carbon content in
fuels, to investments in public transit
and clean technology. The government
has also set a target that by 2030, 30
per cent of light-duty vehicles sold will
be zero emissions vehicles. “The carbon
tax is at the centre of the Liberal plan.
…” That policy has just been updated
to “push Canada to net-zero emissions
by 2050, joining the European Union
and countries making the same climate
pledge at the United Nations in New
York City this week,” according to
CBC. “The Liberal Party’s plan is to set
legally-binding, five-year milestones to
reach net-zero emissions in 30 years …
but it’s offering scant details so far on
exactly how the target would be met.”
This sounds good but details are lacking.
The Environment Minister Catherine
McKenna says: “Do we have all the
details? No. We’re going to figure this
out, but the first thing we need to do is
we need to get through this election.”
The NDP “would ramp up Canada’s
plans to cut greenhouse-gas emissions
− bringing them 38 per cent below
2005 levels by 2030. The party says
that’s what is required for Canada
to do its part to limit the global temperature
increase to 1.5 degrees above
preindustrial levels,” according to the
Globe and Mail. “To get there, the NDP
says it would continue with Canada’s
carbon-pricing regime, including
maintaining the pricing set by the
Liberals from 2019 to 2022. “The NDP
is committing to a suite of aggressive
timelines to remove fossil fuels from
the electricity grid, transportation
and building sectors. It would offer
low-interest loans in order to finance
energy-saving retrofits of all Canada’s
housing stock by 2050. …
“Prof. (Mark) Jaccard (of Simon
Fraser University) said that … he
would need to see a carbon price that
is progressively more stringent, but he
said that option isn’t detailed in the
plan. Similarly, he notes that none of
the party’s goals around retrofits, the
electrical grid or zero-emissions vehicles
are accompanied by enforcement
mechanisms. “Finally, Prof. (Andrew)
Leach, of the University of Alberta,
notes that the plan set out by Mr. (NDP
Leader Jagmeet) Singh would spark
even more jurisdictional fights between
Ottawa and the provinces. For example,
building codes are adopted and
enforced at the provincial level, rather
than the federal level as suggested by
the NDP’s plan.”
Not surprisingly, the Green Party has
the most rigorous suite of global warming
policies. It “is pledging to double
Canada’s GHG-reduction targets,
bringing Canada’s goal to cut emissions
to 60 per cent below 2005 levels by
2030,” said the Globe.
“The Greens say they would hike the
carbon tax annually by $10 until 2030,
which would raise it to $130 a tonne in
that year.
More details on costs and targets
will no doubt be released by the parties
as we approach voting day. It would
be disingenuous indeed, however, for
parties to deny that the programs will
be expensive – although nowhere near
the inevitable and tragic costs of inadequate
action.
I have become pessimistic about humanity’s
future and I abjectly apologize
to the youth for my generation’s failure.

Newspapers Matter
– Now more than ever
Every town has one. In Fergus, Ontario, his name
is Ian. He is a champion of history, safeguarding
a vast collection of newspapers titles at the local
archives. Some titles pre-date Confederation but in
recent years his workload has markedly slowed. This
region has lost its share of newspapers as seasoned
publishers faced with shrinking subscription income,
diminishing advertising revenue and ever-increasing
costs, gave up and closed titles. Oddly, it isn’t that
news isn’t wanted, it is that people mistakenly believe
it can be had at no cost.
Nine in ten Canadians derive their news from
trained journalists each week although a scant 20%
value it enough to pay a fee to receive it. Advertisers,
an essential part of the business equation for traditional
media, continue to reallocate their ad dollars
with online marketers—even though published surveys
identify traditional Canadian media platforms
as a more trusted source.
Ironically, 70 per cent of those online ad dollars
are now spent with Google and Facebook—two U.S.-
based, global conglomerates. An American study,
The Knight Commission on the Information Needs of
Communities in a Democracy, concluded that news
is as vital to democracy as “clean air, safe streets,
good schools and public health”. Governments across
Canada, however, continue to rush headlong into the
digital age by shifting advertising to these two companies
with virtually no regard for Canada’s cultural
identity, let alone integrity.
In a recent Ipsos-Reid poll, 63% of Canadians were
unable to distinguish between real news sites and
fake news stories. Truth seems to be a casualty. Perhaps
that is why a generally stoic Ian, introduced at
the beginning of this column, recently became quite
emotional when discussing newspapers and their role
within a democracy. You see, he is not just a keeper of
history; he is a student of history.
The volumes and issues of newspapers past hold
clues as to how corruption breeds, democracy wanes
and tyrants come to power. Seldom has tyranny
taken root overnight, and in virtually all cases,
impairing the ability of journalists and destroying a
free press are part of the process to destabilize a free
society.
This National Newspaper Week, we hope Canadians
will support and encourage journalists because
newspapers matter—now more than ever. Pledge
your support for newspapers at www.newspapersmatter.ca.

Pedestrian struck by vehicle
On October 02, 2019 at 01:00 am a
pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on
Hwy 16 west at a location where Hwy
16 and Hwy 4 merge prior to the bridge
crossing the North Saskatchewan
River.
The pedestrian was provided medical
treatment by Battlefords EMS and
North Battleford Fire Department prior
to being transported to Battlefords
Union Hospital for further treatment.
The injuries sustained were severe
which resulted in STARS taking the
injured pedestrian to Royal University
Hospital in Saskatoon for further treatment.
The pedestrian was a 15 year old
male who was alone at the time. Family
members of this youth have been contacted
and updated on this incident.
Initial investigation revealed that

Oilers wasting McDavid’s brilliance
The pressure is starting to build
on Connor McDavid to add a Stanley
Cup to his resumé, one of the most
star-studded in hockey. Already
established as the world’s best player
after only four years in the NHL,
the Edmonton Oilers centre knows
that history won’t be kind to him if he
doesn’t have a Cup or two on his list
of career accomplishments. Perish the
thought, but a couple of early injuries
in McDavid’s career brings to mind
the abrupt end to the career of Bobby
Orr — who revolutionized the game but
played only eight full seasons and parts
of three others because of wonky knees
— when hockey fans the world over
couldn’t get enough of his brilliance.
McDavid missed half of his rookie
season when he suffered a broken collarbone
in November when he was upended
by Flyers’ Brandon Manning and
crashed into the boards while going full
speed. Fans across the world winced
when he was helped off the ice late in
the Oilers’ final regular-season game
last spring after crashing awkwardly
into the Flames’ net. Though four seasons,
McDavid eclipsed the 100-point
mark three times, two scoring titles
and an MVP trophy, but has played
only 13 Stanley Cup playoff games, all
in 2016-17 when Edmonton lost out in
the second round. Off-season rehab has
McDavid ready for this week’s start of
the 2019-20 season, but are the Oilers’
ready to take the necessary steps towards
McDavids’s first Stanley Cup?
New general manager Ken Holland,
whose resumé shines after two decades
at the helm of Detroit Red Wings, was
brought in over the summer to guide
the Oilers’ fortunes. Beyond forwards
McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan
Nugent-Hopkins and defenceman Darnell
Nurse, the roster is thin. Holland
will have to work his magic, and rather
quickly, to get the Oilers into contention
before McDavid’s best days are
behind him.
There isn’t a generational player of
note who failed to win a Stanley Cup.
Gordie Howe was on four Cup-winning
teams with the Wings. Orr won
twice. Wayne Gretzky’s name is on
the Cup four times. Sidney Crosby has
won three. Alex Ovechkin checked off
a career requirement by guiding the
Capitals to the Stanley Cup two years
ago. McDavid will undoubtedly have
a couple of trophy cases filled by the
time he’s finished as an NHLer. Scoring
titles and MVP awards will likely be
plentiful, and he may get the chance to
win an Olympic gold medal or two. But
he won’t experience career fulfillment
unless he wins a Stanley Cup. The pressure
is on Holland and new coach Dave
Tippett to make it happen.
Humour writer Brad Dickson
of Omaha, urging Nebraska football
fans to make more noise and to quit
being so nice to the opposition, but not
to go too far: “We don’t want to be, say,
Missouri where drunk, shirtless, sometimes
pants-less, toothless, classless
fans with mold growing in their ears
have been known to projectile vomit on
the visiting marching band.”
Another one from Dickson, on
the same subject: “We don’t need to go

fans have a tradition of waving their
electronic ankle monitoring devices in
the air after touchdowns.”
RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com:
“A runaway cow in Austria wandered

“(The NFL) has the PUP List – the

Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Antonio
Brown is suggesting he isn’t done

only burned bridges with three teams,
so he still has 29 left to go.”

On September 26, 2019 at 10:15 p.m.,
an officer from the Carnduff Detachment
was transporting to his residence
in Carnduff, SK, a 65-year-old male
who had been arrested, charged and released
for impaired driving and refusal
to submit to a breath test.
The accused had been cooperative
with the police and was being turned
over to his spouse at their residence
until his court appearance. The accused
was taken out of the police car
by the officer outside of the residence.
They moved inside the double garage
attached to the house where they were
met by the spouse of the accused.
The accused then told the officer he
had to go to the bathroom. The officer
told him not to leave, but the accused
continued to walk away toward a door
within the garage. The officer asked
the spouse if there was a bathroom in
that area; she reported the door does
not lead to a bathroom. The officer got
closer to the unknown door when he
heard the distinctive sound of a round
of a shotgun being chambered. The
officer drew his pistol and backed away
from the door as the accused exited
the room carrying a shotgun pointed
at the ceiling. The officer told him to
drop the shotgun. The accused instead
told his spouse to open the garage door.
He exited the garage and fired rounds
at the police car before fleeing on foot.
The officer was not in the police car, but
still in the garage. The officer quickly
moved the spouse to safety inside the
residence while tracking the armed
accused with his pistol. Additional
RCMP members and Police Dog were
called to the scene and set a perimeter
to contain the accused. Shortly after
the police dog arrived at the scene, the
accused walked out of a nearby wooded
area, unarmed, and surrendered.
The shotgun was recovered from the
wooded area where the accused was
hiding. The accused was taken into
custody where he will remain. The accused
made his first court appearance
on Monday, September 30, 2019, at the
Provincial Court in Estevan. A publication
ban has been issued on the court
proceedings.
Fatal pedestrian versus semi-truck

Anna’s Vision
A charity founded to help children learn through vision
In Saskatchewan, children under the age of 18 are
covered for one eye exam per year through regular Sask
Health benefits, however if your child requires glasses,
this cost will have to be paid out of your pocket if you do
not have supplementary health coverage. According to
the Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists, school
children aged 6 to 19 years should undergo an eye examination
annually and preschool children should undergo
at least one eye examination between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Children’s eyesight
can change rapidly, therefore the cost of buying and replacing glasses can
quickly become out of reach for many families.
Anna’s Vision, a charity that provides full eye exams and eyewear (when
needed) to homeless and underprivileged children, teens and young adults, was
developed in 2010 by Optometrist Dr. Diana Monea. In 2011 the program was
extended to assist Mother Teresa Middle School in Regina, SK and to provide
the same service to unwed mothers in school with the underlying principal that
to learn you must see. The charity is named in memory of her mother Anna.
“She was like a nurse practitioner in the farming area that I grew up in in
Southern Saskatchewan, near Kildeer,” Dr. Monea explained. “Our door was
always open for helping those who were in need and the belief that mom taught
her five kids was: work hard, give back, and if you see someone in need and you
can help because you can, you must!”
‘Giving back and caring, making a difference when you can’ is Dr. Monea’s
philosophy in her charity work and through her clinics with locations in Regina
and Calgary. She does not agree with bureaucratic red tape, therefore children
do not need a referral to take part in the Anna’s Vision program. “Children cannot
wait through a backlog of paperwork in order to be able to see,” Dr. Monea
explains, “I don’t want to have a child refused eye care when seeing is learning.”
Dr. Monea says that 80% of a child’s learning is though vision but unfortunately
only 16% of Canadian children have their eyes examined annually.
“Many families, especially the working poor, cannot afford the cost involved in
purchasing eyewear,” Dr. Monea says, “I believe every child deserves the chance
to see!”
Eye exams and frames are donated to underprivileged children by Dr. Monea’s
clinics, Eye Health Centres, and lenses are provided by Essilor Canada. “Essilor
has teamed up with us to help children so every child, teen and young adult can
receive excellent quality lenses!” says Dr. Monea.
With so many homeless and working poor in our province it is essential that
a charity such as Anna’s Vision exists to help children and young adults get
the eyewear they need to be able to function properly in school. Anna’s Vision
accepts monetary donations to help cover some of the costs associated with the
frames so if you would like to donate or if you are a family in need please contact
Dr. Monea directly at dr.dmonea@gmail.com or see her advertisement in our
business directory for more contact information.

Heirloom tomatoes
and peppers in review
As the summer growing season
draws to a close, we have time to pause
and ponder what transpired since
spring. It was again a different type
of year with very little hot weather
from May to August and what we can
consider a true autumn in spite of the
calendar telling us otherwise.
If you recall, this year we grew a
rather large amount of heirloom tomatoes
and peppers. In spite of a summer
with few heat units those who grew
these tried and true plants were given
a bountiful harvest. It will be a lot of
salsa and other processing done over
the next month as what was harvested
ripens. It is interesting that those gardeners
who only grew hybrid tomatoes
basically got no harvest but our tried
and true open-pollinated varieties
managed to produce quite well in spite
of Mother Nature not cooperating.
We grew over thirty different varieties
of tomatoes and peppers and kept
notes on their speed of germination as
well as their rate of growth. Needless
to say, the harvest rates both in size
and numbers have also been noted.
However, without doubt the best part
of this trial was the tasting.
The big winners for this year in all
categories was Black Krim tomato for
a bountiful and long harvest, amazing
colour and sweetness of taste. The
overall favourite as the tastiest tomato.
Amish Paste produced a bountiful
harvest of large red, elongated tomatoes.
It also was nice for fresh eating
with good flavour but due to the size
and the texture unbeatable for canning,
salsa and tomato sauces. Thanks
to the Amish in Wisconsin for this
great tomato.
Peak of Perfection is an old heirloom
variety that produced an abundance
of large pink, blemish free and meaty
fruit.
Last Mountain Times • Monday, October 7, 2019 • lmtimes.ca
Cherokee Purple is a beautiful purplish
colour with green shoulders that
was originally grown by the Cherokee
Indians. It was a good and reliable
producer and delicious to eat.
Copia turned out to be a beautiful
yellow tomato with red striping. Inside
it was mottled and a good producer
even in a cool summer.
Sweet Orange Cherry and Red Fig
were really nice cherry tomatoes. Both
produced heavily and had a nice sweet
burst of flavour. However, the orange
cherries often split on the vine.
Legend was a steady producer with
a traditional shaped fruit. It did really
well with our cooler summer.
Acadian Cherry was a plentiful
producer although the plant size was
varied. It is a compact dwarf plant
but some were large enough to enjoy a
tomato cage. The fruit was a bit larger
for a cherry tomato and it produced
throughout the summer.
Zapotec produced a beautiful ruffled
tomato that was only outshone by the
Red Ruffled Pimento Pepper. There is
without doubt a need to grow these old
and cherished fruits. Last but not least
the Sweet Chocolate pepper was both
beautiful and tasty. Early Jalapeno
and the Black Hungarian peppers were
the only stars from the hot peppers
grown.
Hope your harvest was wonderful.

on these winners then please go

favourites.

Our lives and Money
1 Timothy 6: 10, 17-19
“For the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil.
As for those who in the
present age are rich, command
them not to be haughty, or to
set their hopes on the uncertainty
of riches, but rather on
God who richly provides us
with everything for our enjoyment.
18They are to do good, to
be rich in good works, generous,
and ready to share, 19thus
storing up for themselves the
treasure of a good foundation
for the future, so that they may
take hold of the life that really
is life.”
Timothy gives us a famous
reminder–one that we often
misquote–“Money is not the
root of all evil”– it is actually,
not money but rather “the love
of money” is at the root of all
evil.
Wealth, material wealth, is
not the danger in our lives.
What is dangerous is how we
use the plenty that we have
been given. Paul in his letter to
Timothy warns us to fight the
good fight of faith, reminding
us not to be haughty or to set
our hopes on the uncertainty
of riches. We are charged to do
good, to be rich in good deeds,
to be generous, laying up a good
foundation for the future, and
to take hold of life, which is
really life.
The purpose of a community
of faith is simple: it is to welcome
everyone into the house
who wants to enter, who wants
to seek to know God and love
their neighbor as they are longing
to love themselves. It is to
be a part of the transformation
of human hearts and the reformation
of society into a more
just and loving place, reflecting
the justice and love of God. If
the root of all evil is the love of
money–at the root of all goodness
is the generosity of God.
The book of 1 Timothy reminds
us that wealth is not the source
of greater security and power,
but a source of greater vulnerability
and responsibility, not
only for us personally, but for
the betterment of all who live in
community with others.
How we use our money and
our relative wealth seems to me
to be a critical decision for people
today. Putting our wealth
to work for the good of others
is a huge challenge for us and
for all people. When we use our
capital, our spiritual wealth,
and our material resources for
reaching beyond ourselves into
the hurts of the world, we are
spending our love and hope
wisely and well. If we keep
ourselves focused on what is at
the core of our heart and life
together, we will continue to use
our wealth and our resources
wisely.
God provides everything for
our enjoyment, for sure, but
also provides everything for a
good foundation for our collective
future. Our communities
are made up of all kinds of people
from various backgrounds
and status; rich and poor, with
various needs that are essential
for their lives and future. Part
of our responsibility, then, is
to be bridge builders, to create
new bridges of connection in
our communities which reflect
both people of wealth and want
so that our future together has a
good foundation.
“I have one life and one
chance to make it count for
something. My faith demands
that I do whatever I can, wherever
I am, whenever I can, for
as long as I can, with whatever
I have to try to make a difference.”
Jimmy Carter, former US
President.

While sitting in the living room with my
children I noticed they were both fixated on
their cell phones. One would giggle, than the
other. They were sitting beside each other
yet instead of speaking to each other, they
are texting back and forth. Was it a big secret
they didn’t want me to hear? No! They
were merely deciding what to do after supper!
A simple conversation that did not need
privacy yet neither opened their mouths nor
made eye contact with the other; instead the
phones were their choice of communication.
We as adults are guilty of the same thing.
Rarely do you receive a phone call from a
friend or family member asking a question.
Instead, they text it,
wait for a reply, than
text back another
response, wait again.
This can go on and
on for quite some
time when it often
would have taken less time to pick up the
phone and place a call.
In fact most people now a days don’t even
answer if they receive a call as they prefer
texting! There is a ton of miscommunication
and misunderstandings between people
through texting as a text message cannot
express emotion. The receiver of a message
may feel you are being rude or flippant simply
by reading your words in a tone you were
not trying to project.
Reading body language and listening to
a person’s voice is how we interpret others
feelings. If you ask someone how they are
doing by text message and they reply with
“I’m fine” (a term we use constantly even
Most people now a
days don’t even

receive a call
BOBBI‐LYNNE
MCGARRY
when we are screaming
inside) we cannot see or
hear their true emotions.
Perhaps they just
found out they are losing
their job. Feeling like
a complete failure, and
they really need someone
to talk to but don’t want
to text all the details, so they pass off an “I’m
fine”. Without seeing their facial expressions
or hearing their tone, one would never know
that “I’m fine” really means “talk me down
from this ledge I feel stuck on”.
We are missing so much in our relationships
with others
when we choose
texting over speaking.
The joy of a full
bellied laugh between
friends turns into
a LOL. The smile
on our son’s face turns into a colon and a
bracket : )
Next time your mom, friend or child texts
you with “I’m fine”, use your phone to actually
call them and listen. Let’s bring back the
humanity in our communication and focus
on the people and relationships in our lives
instead of our screens!!

Crop Report
for the period Sept. 24 to 30, 2019
According to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s
Weekly Crop Report 47 per cent of the crop is
now combined, up from 39 per cent last week.
An early-winter storm slowed down most harvest
operations in the province; however, producers
were able to make some progress before the
storm hit. The five-year (2014-18) average is 75
per cent combined for this time of year.
Thirty-four per cent of the crop is swathed or
ready to straight-cut. Much of the crop harvested
so far is tough and is being put into grain dryers
and aeration bins. Farmers will need several
weeks of warm and dry weather to get the crop
off.
Harvest is most advanced in the southwest
region, where 68 per cent of the crop is now
combined. The northeast region has 50 per cent
combined and the southeast region 46 per cent.
The west-central region has 46 per cent combined,
the northwest region 34 per cent and the
east-central region 33 per cent.
Ninety-four per cent of field peas, 91 per cent of
lentils, 68 per cent of barley, 58 per cent of mustard,
57 per cent of durum, 46 per cent
of canary seed, 44 per cent of spring
wheat, 37 per cent of chickpeas and 24
per cent of canola is now in the bin. An
additional 62 per cent of canola and 17
per cent of mustard is swathed or ready
to straight-cut.
Most areas of the province received significant
precipitation last week. The Admiral area
reported 103 mm, while the Moose Jaw area
received up to 60 mm. Although the moisture
further delays harvest, it helps topsoil moisture
conditions.
Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions
on cropland are rated as 31 per cent
surplus, 65 per cent adequate and four per cent
short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is
rated as 20 per cent surplus, 72 per cent adequate,
seven per cent short and one per cent very
short.
The majority of crop damage this past week
was due to hail, strong winds, lodging, localized
flooding and frost. There continues to be many
reports of crops sprouting, bleaching and staining
and downgrading is expected. Geese and
wildlife are also feeding on swathed crops and
causing damage. Farmers are busy drying grain
and waiting for the weather to improve so they
can continue with harvest operations.

Land values
If anyone is still under the illusion that farming
is anything other than big business these days a
single farm for sale in Manitoba should exhibit
one of the current reality.
What is being described
AG NOTES
CALVIN DANIELS
as the “largest land package
in Canada is for sale on the
Prairies” in a Western Producer
article rather clearly
illustrates how Prairie farms
in Canada have been trending
to ever-larger operations.
The land, located near The
Pas, Man., features 23,800
acres, just over 37 sections,
for cultivation and is going
for $53.3 million. That would mean winning one
of the largest lotto wins in Canadian history, and
signing it all over to make the purchase, and then
still needing money to operate farm. It is suggested
in the article the price tag is reasonable, given
it’s going for about $1,640 an acre. In Saskatchewan,
the article suggests prices can range from
$2,000 to $3,500 per acre, while Alberta can see
land go for $2,500 to $6,500 an acre.
If one extrapolates a mid-value price in Saskatchewan
a quarter section is going to fetch
about $400,000, give, or take a few thousand.
For anyone not sure what a quarter section of
land is, it encompasses 160-acres, which is the
size of the plot of land the early immigrants to
Western Canada were given, if they met certain
provisions.
Certainly there are successful smaller producers,
but even a farmer on a half section doing
some niched farming to generate returns has
a land base valued at near three-quarters of a
million dollars, and then requires machinery,
grain storage and other farm elements pushing
the investment nearer one million.
Of course machinery is the other side of the
coin in terms of farming being very big business
these days. A new four-wheel drive tractor or new
combine will each take huge bites out of a million
dollars before it is rolling around a field.
We often look at new small businesses popping
up in a community with a certain amount of awe
based on the individual taking the risk of investment
in establishing the storefront.
But a farmer driving a new tractor off the lot is
barely noticed although the investment in that
single tractor is likely to be as large as many
smaller business developments.
Farms are now very big business. The size
of farms has generally trended larger in major
dryland farming areas around the world since
the end of the First World War, and when land
prices spike higher that increases farm values.
When land values climb machinery tends to rise
in value as well.
There is a great cost to growing the world’s
food, although often that fact seems to be lost for
many.

LMVBA monthly meeting
October 2nd meeting notes
The Last Mountain Valley Business Association
met last Wednesday evening, with representatives
of eight local businesses present. The
meeting was chaired by president Kirby Kazeil.
Treasurer Ross McKee gave his financial report,
and the meeting continued with a discussion and
update on the 2019-20 LMVBA Business Directory
distribution, and the receipt of an additional
1,000 copies as ordered at the last meeting.
It was decided to cancel the planned Fall Economic
Development Meeting after failed efforts
to contact Yancoal and solicit their participation,
and after the cancelling of the proposed subdivision
development on the north end of town (see
article: ‘Planned Development dead’ on page 1).
After a lively discussion about the subdivision
project, during which members questioned the
wisdom of the Town’s actions, and the accuracy
of the Town’s ‘press release’, it was decided that
the LMVBA should send a letter of concern to the
Town.
Planning is already well underway for this
year’s Christmas on Mainstreet event, with the
date set for Wednesday, December 4th. More
details will be available following the LMVBA’s
November 6th meeting.

Council Gender Parity on
the Agenda
SUMA meetings in Central Saskatchewan
15
Municipal leaders from nine towns in central Saskatchewan gathered in Wadenalast week to discuss
issues important to their communities.
Gender Parity at the council table is one of the discussions at the Central Regional Meeting hosted
by the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA).
“An education session at SUMA’s 2019 Convention highlighted the importance of parity at the council
table,” said Lee Finishen, Central Regional Director and councillor for the Town of Fort Qu’Appelle.
“We are continuing to build on that conversation, working toward equal representation in local
office.”
On social media this October, to celebrate Women’s History Month and highlight the importance
of parity at the council table, SUMA is featuring eight local women in politics who are serving their
communities.
Last week in Wadena, municipal representatives were also discussing climate change, prompt payment
legislation, and building standards. The Central Regional Meeting is the first of seven regional
meetings being hosted by SUMA from October 1 through October 9.
“Regional meetings are a chance for municipal officials to share ideas and discuss challenges with
fellow leaders from their region,” said SUMA President Gordon Barnhart.
Leaders attending the Central Regional Meeting represented: Cupar, Edenwold, Fort Qu’Appelle,
Lanigan, Lumsden, Pilot Butte, Regina Beach, Wadena, and Wynyard.

One day, a few weeks ago, we threw an umbrella,

was a really lovely drive and although it was the
end of summer, there were still lots of campers
soaking up whatever sun they could find. We
roamed around quite happily for an hour, ate
some ice cream and then made our way back
home where I crossed “See Rowan’s Ravine” off
my Bucket List.
Nobody really knows who took the phrase,
“kick the bucket”, (thought to be of English origin,
and an informal or slang term for - not to put
too fine a point on it - “to die) and meshed it with
“list” to create a Bucket, or “before I die”, List.
However, it doesn’t seem to matter how it came
about, as it is obvious that people have accepted
and embraced the term as a focused means for
them to complete a life perhaps seemingly unfulfilled.
A Bucket List acts as a catalyst - a push
to step outside of one’s personal comfort zone; a
way to say, I not only lived, but I accomplished
something I never thought possible!
I am not one to stray far away from the beaten
path as I tend to cling to a life that is neat and
tidy, safe and “square”. But living that way has
never stopped me from creating lists of things
that I wanted to have or wanted to achieve. Some
were not realistic - age and time took care of
those - but the ones that were left, I kept. And
when I was close to turning sixty, I began to dust
them off.
“Grow my hair out”. When I was younger, my
mother kept my hair short, cut just below my
ears. At the time, it was the easiest thing for her
to do, especially after all three of us girls were in
school. When I got older, I grew it to my shoulders;
once when I turned 18 and then when I got
married. It didn’t last. I just didn’t have the patience
for clips and pins as I waited for my hair to
grow past the frizzy stage. Five years ago, I made
the decision to give it another go - age gave me
the obstinacy I needed - and
now it’s down my back … and
I can braid it! Cross that
one off the list!
“Bake Madeleines”.
Have you ever heard of
a Petite Madeleine? It is
a very small, very tasty,
sponge cake that is most
often baked in a pan with
shell-shaped depressions.
I didn’t even know they
LIZ
CAMERON
existed until I watched the breakfast scene in
the movie “The Transporter”. I’m not much of
a baker, but as it seems I will only need butter,
eggs, sugar, flour and baking powder, I figure I
can handle it. I mean, how hard can it be? (Says
she who used the first loaf of bread she ever made
as a doorstop.)
By the way, quite a few movies have been the
inspiration behind my searching for, and obtaining,
Bucket List items. For example, the ceramic
candy box that I purchased at an antique and
collectible shop in Dilke reminded me of a scene
in the movie “Matilda”; a magical moment that I
wanted to emulate with my grandchildren. The
movie “Chocolat” can take credit for the heaps
of Bernard Callebaut milk and dark chocolate
shavings that I keep on hand for the creation of
thick, creamy, hot drinks sprinkled liberally with
instant coffee and cinnamon; proof that items on
a Bucket List don’t all have to be about mountains,
safaris, and evenings in Paris.
To date, I would say that I have completed two
tasks and am going slow with “Write a work of
fiction”. Not sure if I’ll ever be able to wear my
German dirndl again - after all, I was seventeen,
and a lot thinner in the waist - but I’d like
to give it a go. A visit to Jim Henson’s Creature
Shop might remain unrealized, but I don’t mind.
Perhaps everyone’s Bucket List should contain at
least one magical, “pie in the sky” wish. We all
need those truly golden moments to look forward
to.

First Trail Rated, now
Track Rated
In my opinion, Jeep is the best brand under the Chrysler umbrella, and not by
just a little bit, but hands down. Think about it, what competes with Jeep? You
can get a Silverado or an F150 instead of a Ram, and the Challenger can easily
be replaced with a Mustang or a Camaro. Sure, there’s other SUV’s out there,
but there isn’t one that I’d consider putting through the paces that some people
put their Jeeps through. “Trail Rated”, it says that right on the side, and not just
on some cheese ball vinyl decal, but on a hard, 3D emblem. Can the Chevy or
the Ford go off-road without a second guess? How about the Honda, Toyota, Kia,
Volkswagen, Subaru, or Nissan? They might be able to, but it’s not stamped into
the side like it is on the Jeep. When I picture capable vehicles
being air-dropped into a war zone, my go-to first thought
certainly isn’t a Ford Explorer or Chevy Trailblazer. Jeep
has been around forever, and will always be my first thought
when someone talks about getting down the muddiest road
they’ve ever seen, or getting to the top of the highest hill.
Jeep has proven that they’re more than capable on the trail,
so they can now focus on proving themselves in an area well
outside of their usual stomping grounds: the track.
In an exercise of absolute absurdity, a few years ago,
Chrysler decided that they needed an SRT version of everything.
The SX2.0 got a supercharged four-banger and Viper
seats, making it the SRT-4. Later, the Caliber replaced it, and
was also available in SRT-4 trim. A Ram with a Hemi is fine, but a Ram with a
Viper V10 under the hood is an SRT-10, a gas-guzzling, tire-smoking, vulgar display
of unplantable power. I think every Viper wore the SRT logo, as there wasn’t
a Viper sold that was tame enough not to be of SRT performance. The Charger,
Challenger, and even the Chrysler 300 were all available with a big, nasty
Hemi and an SRT badge. It got so absurd, that even the Jeep Grand Cherokee
was equipped with its own big, nasty Hemi, and dual exhaust that replaced the
trailer hitch, which I personally thought was a nice touch. In yet another wave of
“we’re going to put this new engine in everything”, Chrysler has once again put
the knife to the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and created the Trackhawk. Basically, it’s
an aggressive looking all-wheel drive Jeep Grand Cherokee with a seven-hundred
and seven horsepower Hellcat engine under the hood. It’s supposed to get
seventeen miles-per-gallon, and go zero-to-sixty in three-and-a-half seconds.
Also, it’s got exhaust in a conventional location, so you can tow with it. The price
for something like this is over a hundred grand, but if you’re sold on owning
one, it may be worth it, as it has the attention of a pretty big hitter. Remember
last week when I said Ferrari wanted to have the world’s fastest SUV? The
Trackhawk is the one that they’ll have to try and take the title from. Who would
have ever thought Jeep would be competing with Ferrari, and winning? For
now, anyways.

first writings, O Canada, is placed at the War Museum
in England. She has had several of her many
short stories published in the local newspaper over the years. Betty also loved
painting and did some amazing portraits and landscapes. She was known in
the area as “the bread lady” and shared her delicious bread and buns with many
people. Her greatest love was her husband Art, her family and extended family.
Betty was predeceased by her father, Henry Thomas Stichbury (1969) and
mother, Ellen Lillian Stichbury (1993); brother Frank; and sisters-in-law Peggy,
Lila and Joan Stichbury.
