On the fourth Sunday of September each year, Canada celebrates World Rivers 

Day. This is a day that recognizes and celebrates the many values of our waterways, 

and aims to create awareness and better stewardship of our environment. 

Rivers and waterways are the lifeblood of our province; they connect us all and 

provide outstanding outdoor recreation opportunities and drinking water. They 

support a range of species and ecosystems, and are an important piece of our history 

and culture. 

Celebrating rivers allows us to celebrate those that help protect our rivers. Volunteering 

with local conservation and stewardship efforts and fundraisers makes 

a positive difference to the health of your local watershed. Rivers and freshwater 

ecosystems are among the most imperiled ecosystems on earth, threatened by 

pollution, invasive species, and climate change so they need your help. 

World Rivers Day also allows us to celebrate those water watch dogs that monitor 

water to ensure it remains healthy and safe for all users. #4watersheds is a new 

group that is encouraging people to take part in a project to help identify nutrient 

Lumsden’s annual Scarecrow festival was scaled back this year. Social 

events were postponed, however participants still erected their 

interpretations. I can’t help but recognize the irony of putting something 

into society that represents keeping pests at bay during a pandemic. 

Social distancing is our Scarecrow and if that effigy is burned it will do us 

no good. Stay Safe.

TOWN OF LUMSDEN 

PUBLIC NOTICE 

Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Town of Lumsden intends 

to adopt four (4) bylaws under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to 

amend Bylaw No. 15-2002, known as the Zoning Bylaw. 

DESCRIPTION: 

Bylaw No. 2020-15 will establish clear regulations for the placement and use of 

shipping containers for storage purposes. 

INTENT: 

To amend the Town of Lumsden Zoning Bylaw to include updated definitions 

and regulations for the use of permanent and temporary shipping containers 

for storage purposes in the Town of Lumsden. 

DESCRIPTION: 

Bylaw No. 2020-16 will address public works and public utility sites in the Estate 

Residential (RE) and General Residential (R1) Zoning Districts. Specifically, by 

making it clear that public works and public utilities may operate on any site in 

these districts, regardless of site area. Public works and public utilities will still 

be subject to setback requirements. 

INTENT: 

To amend the Town of Lumsden Zoning Bylaw to remove site area requirements 

for public works and public utility sites in the Estate Residential (RE) and 

General Residential (R1) Districts. New subdivisions and developments often 

require public works and public utilities. Removing site area restrictions will 

make the placement of such public works and public utilities more efficient 

and attainable. 

DESCRIPTION: 

Bylaw No. 2020-17 will regulate residential homestays (e.g. “Airbnb”) in 

Lumsden and add the land-use as a discretionary use in several zoning 

districts. 

INTENT: 

To amend the Town of Lumsden Zoning Bylaw to include definitions and 

regulations for residential homestays. The land-use will be added as a 

discretionary use within the R1, RE and Town Centre Commercial (C1) Districts. 

Stating that residential homestays are discretionary will ensure that neighbours 

are provided notification and an opportunity to comment on residential 

homestay applications prior to approval and commencement of the land-use. 

DESCRIPTION: 

Bylaw No. 2020-18 will address the construction of new residential infill 

dwellings inconsistent with the residential character of established residential 

areas by providing a maximum building height. In addition, Bylaw No. 2020-18 

will clarify and provide greater flexibility respecting site frontage and site area 

requirements for new residential sites in the RE District. 

INTENT: 

Firstly, to establish a maximum dwelling height of 10 metres in the R1 District. 

The R1 District pertains to established residential neighbourhoods. Any new 

builds are seen as infill developments, as such, the views and vistas of existing 

homes must be protected. Establishing a maximum height will limit how high 

new residential dwellings in the R1 District can be. 

Secondly, Bylaw No. 2020-18 will clarify that a minimum site frontage of 25 

metres is required for new residential sites in the RE District. However, Bylaw 

No. 2020-18 will also provide flexibility by stating that RE District sites that do 

not have 25 metres of frontage due to constraints (e.g. topographical), can still 

meet the site requirements of the RE District by having a minimum site area of 

0.4 hectares as an alternative. 

PUBLIC INSPECTION: 

Any person may inspect the bylaws at the Lumsden Municipal Office, located 

at #300 James Street North, in the Town of Lumsden, between the hours of 

8:00 AM and 4:00 PM (open through the noon hour) from Monday to Friday, 

excluding statutory holidays. Copies of the proposed bylaw are available at the 

Lumsden Municipal Office for a cost of $1.00 and are on the Town of Lumsden 

website; www.lumsden.ca, under the ‘announcements’ tab. 

PUBLIC HEARING 

Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. 

at the Centennial Hall (basement), located at #40 Third Avenue in Lumsden 

SK, to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed 

bylaws. Council will also consider written comments received at the hearing or 

delivered to the undersigned at the municipal office prior to the hearing. Written 

comments also may be emailed to: l.grazier@lumsden.ca.

update to Council on the ongoing road maintenance 

agreement discussions of the committee.

was a 60 km warning speed sign that was moved.

required. As soon as it’s been signed, it will be 

posted to the website; the federal government has

for the money, nor do they have to report on how 

the money is spent; Renovations on the office are 

continuing. In October, Council will receive the 

annual tax enforcement list, which will show the

Raymore council meeting continues from page 1 

was approved by Council. 

Under ‘Correspondence’ 

– There was a letter from a 

community member regarding 

a partial sidewalk stating that 

the sidewalk serves no purpose, 

is an eyesore and a safety 

issue as it is a trip hazard. She 

requested the removal of the 

sidewalk. Council recalled that 

they had removed a similar 

sidewalk last year. After a 

discussion surrounding the 

logistics, the Council passed a 

motion to remove the sidewalk. 

The CAO brought up that there 

was another community member 

who wanted their sidewalk 

removed. The Mayor suggested 

that as there may be other sidewalks 

that need to be removed, 

he thought the town foreman 

should drive around town to 

assess. 

Under ‘Reports’ – Councilor 

Doug Armbruster reported that 

SaskTel had a total telecommunications 

failure on September 

14. He reported that the 

Weather Network app had sent 

out an alert that caused people 

to believe that the telephones 

would be out at midnight. He 

stated it was intended for northern 

Saskatchewan but was sent 

to everybody. He said that they 

were surprised when the phones 

suddenly went down at 4:30 and 

weren’t coming back on. He said 

that they had no cellular service 

and no internet and that while 

the landlines were originally 

still operational, they too went 

out. 

As a result, Armbruster said 

the Emergency Management 

Plan was activated as per policy. 

Armbruster went to Punnichy 

to make the RCMP aware, and 

he had the RCMP check in with 

their fire department once an 

hour. He further stated that 

the Town’s Administrative 

Assistant put information on 

the electronic town sign, which 

gave the instructions that in 

case of an emergency, they were 

to go to the fire hall. Had an 

emergency occurred, a person 

would’ve found a Raymore Fire 

Protection Co-op volunteer’s 

address on the firehouse door. 

He further reported that they 

did not have any incidents 

but that 911 did not work. He 

reported that the communications 

failure was a cut line by 

Lumsden. Armbruster noted 

that this is the second total 

communications blackout they 

have had - Occurring once in 

2017 and now in 2020. As a 

result, he has made adjustments 

to the Emergency Plan. He said 

that the plan was successful and 

had an emergency occurred; 

they’d be covered. The Mayor 

commended Councilor Armbruster 

on his handling of the 

incident. The Mayor and Councilor 

Armbruster discussed 

making the electronic sign part 

of the update to the Emergency 

Response Plan. 

The Mayor reported that the 

Pavilion bathrooms are in place. 

He noted that they had a few 

events at the Pavilion. He asked 

for direction from Council on if 

the town is willing to share the 

gravel costs with community 

improvements. The Council 

agreed to share the costs. 

Under ‘Old Business’ – The 

Mayor recused himself from 

the meeting due to a conflict 

of interest while the Council 

awarded a spraying tender. The 

Council discussed the submitted 

tenders and awarded it to 

Malcolm Koncz. The Mayor 

then rejoined the meeting. 

Town foreman Brad Paulsen 

joined the meeting to give his 

report to the Council, discussing 

town maintenance matters. 

He noted that they would be 

gravelling the following day. 

The Mayor commended the 

foreman on the work that he 

completed with the summer 

crew. 

After the foreman left the 

meeting, the Council continued 

with ‘Old Business’. They 

carried Bylaw 2020-05 and 

approved The Public Conduct 

Policy. The Council discussed 

and approved paying a bill to 

replace a damaged hydrant and 

invoice the recipient of the bill 

directly. 

Under ‘New Business’ – The 

CAO presented a bylaw for 

2019; the municipal election flyer was mailed 

out. The nomination forms have been posted to 

the RM website. Nominations close on October 

7th. There is a 24 hour period where people can 

withdraw their nominations. By October 8th, the 

official candidate list will be posted. Council did 

not have any questions on the Administration 

Report and accepted it. 

Under ‘Communications’ – The CAO received 

contact numbers from Saskatchewan Crop Insurance 

Corporation for Wild Boar Sightings; An 

approval letter was received from the Ministry of 

Government Relations on Proposed Residential

world’s forests. Our country is incredibly well-positioned 

to better leverage our world-leading sustainable 

forestry practices and Made in Canada 

forest products to create not only a lower carbon 

economy, but also drive much-needed economic 

recovery in rural and northern Canada.

SPORTS 

Spieth’s elite golf game has vanished 

What has happened to Jordan Spieth? 

FROM THE 

In his personal life, the 

27-year-old Texan is in a good 

SIDELINES 

place. He was recently married 

BRUCE PENTON to his longtime girlfriend, Annie, 

and he’s pulling down a couple 

of million dollars a year, at least, 

from on-course earnings and 

endorsement revenue. His net 

worth is reportedly $100 million. 

Professionally, however, 

Spieth’s golf game — as the kids 

would say — sucks 

In his first four years on the PGA 

Tour, Spieth played as if he were going to be the 

next Tiger Woods, or at least the next Rory McIlroy. 

He won three major championships by age 23, and 

fumbled away a fourth by messing up the par-3 12th 

at Augusta in 2016. He was a favourite to contend in 

almost every tournament he entered. He had 11 PGA 

Tour victories by the age of 24. When he won the 

Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in July, 2017, 

the golf world was in agreement that the sky was the 

limit. Since then, however, the sky has fallen. 

His driver became his worst enemy. His short 

game, long the model for youngsters to emulate, got 

loose. Too loose. He scuffed chips. He missed many 

makeable putts. He started missing cuts regularly. 

He stopped winning. He stopped even contending. 

So how long would this slump last? ‘He’ll be back’ 

was the common theme among Golf Channel analysts, 

who spent hours trying to pinpoint Spieth’s 

problems — and possible solutions. 

The height of Spieth’s woes may have happened at 

the recent U.S. Open at Winged Foot in New York, 

where Spieth shot 73-81. Only 12 golfers in the 

144-player field were worse. The second round featured 

nine bogeys, one double bogey and eight pars. 

An NBC broadcaster said Spieth admitted he was 

“lost.” 

Still, he hasn’t given up. “I’ve got a lot of years in 

front of me and hopefully the best years in front of 

me,” Spieth told GolfWeek. “I’ve worked my butt off 

over the last year mentally, physically and mechanically. 

Things will start to come together.” 

Ranked first or second in the world for most of 

2015 and 2016, Spieth ended the 2019 calendar year 

ranked 44th. He had fallen to 67th when the U.S. 

Open started and likely a few places lower based on 

his inept performance. 

Spieth is only 27 years old and some believe the 

biggest problem he’s having isn’t with his swing or his 

putting, but between his ears. Perhaps spending a few 

hours on a psychoanalyst’s couch instead of banging 

balls eight hours a day might get him back on track. 

Dan Daly of ProFootballDaly.com, via Twitter, on 

owner Daniel Snyder’s legacy with the Washington 

Football Team: “Snyder bought Saks Fifth Avenue 

and in 20 years turned it into the Dollar Store.” 

• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com, with an 

MLB who-woulda-thunk-it: “Pretty sure absolutely, 

positively NO ONE had the best 2020 team in the 

state of New York being the Blue Jays.” 

Nick Canepa of the San Diego Union-Tribune, on 

Mavericks wunderkind Luka Doncic: “I love Doncic’s 

game, but at least let him shave before comparing 

him to Larry Bird.” 

Patti Dawn Swansson, the River City Renegade, after 

a Mike Trout rookie card fetched a record $3.936 

million: “Scant seconds later, millions of parents 

across North America grounded their kids indefinitely 

for putting baseball cards in the spokes of 

their bike wheels.”” 

From fark.com: “Gardner Minshew unaware 

that Jaguars are tanking because all the scrubs 

the team has retained are trying really hard.” 

Greg Cote of the MiamiHerald, on a retired 

baseball broadcasting legend opening a Twitter 

account: “Welcome to Twitter, Vin Scully! Social 

media does not deserve but dearly needs your 

civility.” 

Michael Corcoran of golf.com, on the 1974 

course setup at Winged Foot, site of this year’s 

U.S. Open: “… Rough higher than Snoop Dogg and 

greens harder than a frozen Snickers.” 

Bob Molinaro of pilotonline.com: “Last week, the 

University of Colorado became the first college to sign 

a sponsorship deal with an online gambling operation. 

The alumni must be so proud.” 

RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “I heard Toronto 

lost a game last week 20-6. Did the CFL season start 

while I wasn’t looking?”

October Skies 

The Moon is full on the 1st, and Mars is 

once again occulted on the 2nd, but for 

South American viewers. 

NIGHT SKY 

JAMES EDGAR 

For the Northern Hemisphere observer, 

it’s a very close approach. On 

the 4th, Uranus is 4 degrees north of 

the Moon; then on the 8th, the cluster 

M35 shares the stage; on the 13th 

Venus is 4 degrees south. By the 22nd, 

the Moon glides by Jupiter and Saturn, 

as the gas giants close the gap in anticipation 

of the conjunction on December 

21. By the 29th, Mars is once again 

in the picture, and the Moon is full 

again on the 31st. This is the smallest 

full Moon of 2020, as our satellite is at its 

most distant in its orbit just a few hours earlier. 

Mercury is at its greatest elongation east (GEE) as the 

month begins, but it’s a poor opportunity for northern 

viewers to spot the speedy planet – the ecliptic is almost 

horizontal, so Mercury sets about the same time as the 

Sun. By the 25th, Mercury is at inferior conjunction, right 

in front of the Sun. 

Venus continues as the Morning Star, shining high in the 

east before sunrise. Something to watch for on the mornings 

of the 2nd and 3rd is the very close approach of the 

bright star Regulus in Leo (The Lion). The Moon passes 

close by on the mornings of the 13th and 14th. 

Mars watchers will be paying close attention during October 

at this closest approach to Earth – 2035 is the next 

close opposition. Skilled photographers have been getting 

great images of the Red Planet for a few months already 

and this close approach will see many photons captured 

on camera chips over the next while. The last few oppositions 

have seen dust storms kick up as Mars’s atmosphere 

heats – some storms completely covered the planet, aggravating 

photographers attempts at capturing clear images. 

Jupiter in prograde motion, sets near midnight now as 

Earth pulls further away. Watch for the Moon nearby on 

the 21st and 22nd. 

Saturn is following Jupiter, setting in the late evening, 

and joined by the Moon on the 22nd. 

Uranus reaches opposition on the 31st, so it will be directly 

south at local midnight. The Moon has two opportunities 

in October to visit the gas planet – the 3rd and the 

30th. 

Neptune, among the stars of Aquarius, rises in the early 

evening and sets around 4 a.m. It, too, is joined by the 

Moon in the 26th. 

The zodiacal light is visible in the east before sunrise for 

the last two weeks of the month. 

James Edgar has had an interest in the night sky all his 

life. He joined The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada 

in 2000, was National President for two terms, is now 

the Editor of the renowned Observer’s Handbook, and 

Production Manager of the bi-monthly RASC Journal. The 

IAU named asteroid 1995 XC5 “(22421) Jamesedgar” in his 

honour.

Rural Women and 

COVID-19 Care Crisis 

Rural women have turned their mind to how they are going to manage this fall. Many will 

still be working from home or on the farm now that school has started. The back to school plan 

is children in underfunded, crowded classrooms. There are ongoing discussions about childcare 

centres and afterschool programs not operating this year. For those with family members 

vulnerable to COVID-19, this may mean a continuation of homeschooling. This has major 

impacts on rural women because the added responsibility of caring for children often falls to 

them, so they are going to have to figure out how to make this work. It is beyond stressful. 

For many rural women the pandemic has brought into focus why quality affordable childcare 

in rural areas is needed. Access to childcare is critical for moms who work from home, drive 

a combine during harvest, and head off to jobs. Additionally, parents know this generation of 

children has been affected by the disruption to their education caused by the pandemic. 

Many women also care for vulnerable, disabled or elderly family members. Often families 

cannot access care for relatives due to a lack of local availability, space, regulation, appropriate 

staffing levels and the high cost. There are also families who have taken their loved ones out 

of care homes because of the risk posed by the coronavirus. Women know why it’s called the 

sandwich generation; it is mainly women who are sandwiched between looking after the young 

and the old, all while trying to maintain their career. 

Employment figures show that most of the low waged workers who were laid off or lost their 

jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic were women in the service sector and health care. Statistics 

show that the face of poverty in Saskatchewan is largely female, and the pandemic will 

worsen and deepen their poverty. Women have never come close to achieving equal pay before 

Covid-19, and the pandemic will set them back even more. 

Women need a government that is prepared to carefully consider the needs of rural women 

and rural communities. Women need a government to recognize the unpaid work they perform. 

Women need a government that cares about early childhood education. Rural women, 

and rural communities, need high quality home care and long-term care. 

Women across the province, and particularly in rural communities have been let down by 

the current government. 

But we can make a different choice this fall—a government that takes the challenges women 

are facing seriously, and works to address them. Let’s elect a NDP government that puts Saskatchewan 

people first.

NDP will invest in kids’ 

mental health and end 

years of Sask Party neglect 

NDP Leader Ryan Meili announced today that an NDP government will reverse years of Sask. 

Party cuts to school-based supports by making the investments to ensure children’s mental 

health is a priority in Saskatchewan. 

“Scott Moe’s government has failed to support vulnerable students. I’ve heard from too many 

parents and teachers worried about how this pandemic is impacting their kids’ mental health,” 

said Meili. “Young people have been through so much in the past months, and supports were already 

inadequate. It’s way beyond time to invest in students to give them the support they need 

now and good skills for the future.” 

Meili announced that an NDP government will invest $5 million to hire 50 mental health 

nurses for schools and an additional $5 million to work with school divisions to reverse cuts 

and hire child educational psychologists, counsellors, speech language pathologists and other 

mental health supports. This will help in the short term as kids navigate the challenges and 

stresses of a pandemic and will be an important part of restoring needed services as part of a 

long-term mental wellness plan. 

Meili noted that Scott Moe and the Saskatchewan Party have cut per-student funding by 

$300 per student since 2015-16 and that there are fewer counsellors, fewer psychologists and 

fewer speech language pathologists today than there were in 2015-16. 

“The mental health of our province’s youth is not a luxury,” said Meili. “Real support now can 

ensure that kids aren’t left to suffer alone. It can also ease the burden on our health care system 

by helping young people avoid mental health and addictions issues later in life.”

RCMP REPORT 

Break and Enter in Humboldt, SK

FULL-TIME REGULAR BUS ROUTE

Humboldt RCMP File # 2020-1366911 

The Humboldt RCMP and Crime Stoppers are 

seeking assistance from the public in solving a 

break and enter in Humboldt. Sometime between 

September 12th and 17th, 2020, a home on the 

1200 block of 13 Street in Humboldt was broken 

into. Two Xbox One gaming consoles, a Nintendo 

Switch gaming console, and several video games 

were stolen from the residence. 

Yorkton RCMP launch investigation into 

death of 40 year old male 

On September 16, 2020, officers from the Yorkton 

RCMP Detachment, Yorkton RCMP Forensic 

Identification Section and the Saskatchewan 

RCMP Major Crimes Unit-South (MCU-S) investigated 

the report of human remains located near 

Highway 16, approximately eight kilometres west 

of Springside, SK. 

The body of an adult male was located a short 

distance off the highway. 

A forensic autopsy was conducted yesterday 

in Saskatoon. A Saskatchewan RCMP Forensic 

Anthropologist, Dr Ernie Walker, assisted in 

identifying the human remains, which were determined 

to be 40-year-old Darwin Keith Whitehawk. 

He was reported missing to the Yorkton 

RCMP Detachment in late July, 2020. 

The circumstances surrounding the death of 

Darwin Keith Whitehawk continues to be investigated 

by the Saskatchewan RCMP MCU-S and 

the Yorkton RCMP Detachment. 

Three North Battleford individuals charged 

with drugs and weapons offences 

The Saskatchewan RCMP Crime Reduction 

Teams are committed to enhancing the safety of 

citizens in Saskatchewan. 

In July 2020, the Saskatchewan RCMP Crime 

Reduction Team (CRT) in North Battleford 

initiated a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act 

investigation targeting drug activity in North 

Battleford, SK. The two-month investigation 

MINISTERIAL MESSAGES 

Smiles Matter 

culminated in the arrest this week of three North 

Battleford residents. 

The Saskatchewan RCMP CRT in North Battleford 

requested three search warrants to examine 

a residence, a vehicle and a hotel room in North 

Battleford. On September 20, 2020, the search 

of these three locations resulted in the seizure 

of one ounce of cocaine, smaller amounts of 

methamphetamine and hydromorphone as well 

as several prohibited weapons. 

Kyle Caron, (40), Dean Lafreniere, (48) and 

Amanda Wahobin, (31) are each facing charges of 

possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, 

possession of methamphetamine, possession 

of hydromorphone and weapons offences. At the 

time of her arrest, Amanda Wahobin was wanted 

on warrants for property offences, possession of 

crystal meth and failure to appear in court. 

All three individuals have been released from 

custody and are scheduled to make their first 

appearance at the North Battleford Provincial 

Court on November 9, 2020. 

Over the course of the two-month investigation, 

the Saskatchewan RCMP Crime Reduction 

Team (CRT) in North Battleford was assisted 

by the Saskatchewan RCMP Gang Task Force in 

North Battleford and North Battleford RCMP. 

The mandate of the Saskatchewan RCMP 

Crime Reduction Team is to assist RCMP detachments 

across the Province in capturing prolific 

offenders, repeat offenders and gang members 

as well as addressing any specific public safety 

issue a Saskatchewan RCMP detachment area is 

experiencing. 

Note: RCMP news is distributed hourly by 

the RCMP Media Centre in Regina, based 

on reports submitted by local detachments 

throughout the province. If no reports are 

received, nothing can be distributed. 

Of all the changes due to the coronavirus, I think the most AFFECTED profound LAND 

loss is the smile 

The mask which reduces the spread is also 

a dam against the flow of the largest range of 

bodily expression: smiles, frowns, smirks, the 

dropped jaw. It seems to make even a proper 

social distance to be over twice as far. Everyone 

needs proximity with other people, even the 

introvert. No one can function without a social 

group of some kind; even strong introverts need 

social interaction, just less of it. 

Keeping a “social distance” for COVID is good. 

It is not about stopping the spread, but slowing 

it down, or “flattening the curve,” as the health 

officials have said. I think keeping the healthcare 

system from being overloaded is important. I 

also know that our health is more than physical. 

Our mental well-being is equally important, and 

that includes socialization of some kind. When 

COVID hit, and the meeting size dropped to ten, 

we even stopped the Sunday morning meetings 

as well. Online services are passable as a temporary 

measure but pale in comparison to an actual 

meeting. 

Things have relaxed a bit. We understand more, 

and the province is adjusting. With the changes, 

we have reopened our church, a few changes, and 

we meet the guidelines. It is good to see fellow 

church members, even under masks. I believe the 

importance of community cannot be overstated; 

being there with others, even merely seeing them, 

makes a difference. This is, in part, why the Bible 

contains the following verses, “And let us consider 

how to stir up one another to love and good 

works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the 

habit of some, but encouraging one another, and 

all the more as you see the Day drawing near” 

Hebrews 10:24,25 (ESV). It is very encouraging 

to have the congregation together. 

We have been able to meet the recommendations 

for a few weeks because we are a small, rural 

church. Big church or small church each has 

its own problems and advantages. One advantage 

we have had is we can meet the guidelines easier. 

I actually felt sorry for the larger churches under 

the original guidelines. They were onerous for a 

large church. The revised guidelines are better. 

Many churches are opening again, as it is safe, do 

return and be part of your congregation. 

In addition to being a social meeting, the 

church is being brought together REASON by a common 

bond of faith. It is this faith that binds the church 

together—knowing that God is watching over us, 

even in the hard times, as well PUBLIC as the good INSPECTION times. 

We are a gathering that finds rest in the redemption 

accomplished by Jesus on the cross. Assembling 

together to help each other grow to be more 

like Christ. The COVID guidelines may make this 

slightly more difficult, but it is worth the effort. 


In the end, as our church meets on Sunday 

morning, I can only hope when my cheeks widen, 

they can see a smile underneath the mask.

how could this not be true? And 

having all of it on one level makes 

the Hillcrest ideal for aging in place

Exterior textures are intriguing. 

Most of the walls are an unusual

for the cultured stone veneer that 

covers the chimneys and the entry

VANCOUVER—The federal government will not balance its budget over the next 30 years as a 

result of Canada’s aging population and Ottawa’s historically high spending, which existed before the 

COVID-19 pandemic and may be increased further in the Throne Speech, finds a new study by the 

Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. 

“Before any potential new spending is announced in the Throne Speech, Ottawa is facing decades of 

red ink that will inevitably weaken Canada’s federal finances and place a real burden on future generations,” 

said Jake Fuss, economist at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Canada’s Aging Population 

and Long-Term Projections for Federal Finances. 

The study estimates deficits ranging from 2.6 per cent to 3.1per cent of GDP between 2021 and 

2050 based on conservative assumptions, including no recession and both inflation and interest rates 

remaining low. 

Federal debt is estimated to increase from 49.1 per cent of GDP in 2020 to 69.6 per cent by 2050, 

again based on comparatively conservative assumptions. 

“It’s important to recognize that we’re on track to accumulate federal debt at a level higher than 

existed in the early 1990s when the country faced a near debt and currency crisis, and this is before 

any new potential spending announced in the Throne Speech,” commented Fuss. 

The main driver of the deficits is Canada’s aging population, which means more retirees relative to 

the number of workers. The share of the population over 65 has already risen to 18.0 per cent and is 

expected to reach 24.1 per cent by 2050. 

“The aging of the population means more government spending on programs like Old Age Security 

and health care at the same time that there’s fewer people (as a proportion of the population) working 

to pay taxes,” explained Fuss. 

“The imbalance we’re already seeing between Ottawa’s spending and revenues is only going to get 

worse as Canada’s population continues to age,” said Steven Globerman, resident scholar at the Fraser 

Institute, professor emeritus at Western Washington University and study co-author. 

“Governments face a choice: either reform spending and enact policies to improve economic growth 

to mitigate the effects of our aging population or run substantial deficits for decades.”

September 21, 2020 - In response to information released by Statistics Canada today, which suggests 

tuition for postsecondary education in Saskatchewan has increased by 5.7% from Fall 2019 to 

Fall 2020, the University of Regina wishes to reconfirm that it has implemented no tuition increase 

during this time period and through to the end of the 2021 semester. 

Not only has the University of Regina implemented a 0% tuition increase, but it has also reduced 

a number of compulsory fees including Parking and Recreation & Athletic fees. Residence and meal 

plan fees were also kept at 2019-20 levels. 

As a point of clarification, Distance Education Fees (DEFs) have been applied to some online courses 

that required significant instructional development and design work. DEFs have always been applied 

to such courses, well before the University moved to primarily remote delivery. The fee applies 

to approximately 200 online class sections which constitutes less than 10% of the University’s total 

course offerings for the Fall term. 

While the University of Regina is aware of the methodology that Statistics Canada uses in establishing 

its national tuition report, any questions around how Stats Can arrived at a 5.7% increase in Saskatchewan 

should be directed to that organization. Again, their conclusion that tuition has increased 

in Saskatchewan is not applicable to the University of Regina.

Veggie burgers 

notwithstanding

The idea of farms being a 

source of energy is hardly 

a new one. 

Not so long ago, ethanol produced 

from farm grains was thought to be 

the answer to high crude oil prices 

and to low grain prices for producers. 

There were those with a vision of ethanol 

production plants turning corn, 

or barley, or wheat to an alternate fuel 

spotted across North America. But, 

grain prices jumped, oil prices dove, 

and the ethanol 

AG NOTES 

CALVIN DANIELS 

sector growth 

basically burned 

out. In a world 

of low oil prices, 

the desire to find 

alternate sources 

of renewable fuel 

naturally dwindles, 

but if you 

look longer term, 

the need remains. 

Oil reserves are finite, 

even if you wish to argue their life 

expectancy. When the resource hits 

some level in the future, the cost of 

getting at remaining reserves are 

going to climb, adding some eventual 

urgency to alternatives. 

The most natural alternative seems 

to be ethanol, although whether 

grain-based production is viable long 

term is unclear. The world population 

grows, demands to keep people fed, 

maintain a level of livestock production 

– veggie burgers notwithstanding 

– means grain production may have 

better places to be consumed than to 

produce fuel for our all-terrain vehicles. 

An alternative to grain is likely 

to be biomass. That is where some 

current research in British Columbia 

201016g0 

is intriguing. 

“University of BC researchers are 

looking beyond forest material to 

crop straws and chaff to build renewable 

power products,” notes a recent 

article at www.producer.com What 

that generally means is turning cereal 

straw into pellets. The article explains, 

producing biofuel pellets from crop 

residue is the focus of a new project 

by researchers at UBC. The goal is to 

produce pellets with consistent quality 

from under-utilized and low-quality 

agricultural biomass resources, abundant 

in Canada. The amount of cereal 

and legume crop residue produced in 

the world annually is in the billions of 

tons, details the story. 

Certainly, straw is a resource that 

has drawn interest before. Flax straw 

was going to turn into a range of products, 

including car door panels, when 

a plant was built near Canora, SK. The 

project had government support and 

Cargill involvement, and still couldn’t 

create the anticipated demand to make 

it viable, so the plant closed. In nearby 

Kamsack, a plant would turn cereal 

straw into building sheets to compete 

with chipboard in home builds. It 

never managed to find the markets it 

sought and closed. 

The straw, of course, remains, 

renewed with each growing season. It 

sits there underutilized, and maybe 

biomass pellets can be the answer if 

it can be viable given baling costs, 

hauling, pelleting costs, and of course, 

accessing markets. It’s a big ‘ask,’ but 

ultimately, energy alternatives will be 

required.

Watch: Testing the Waters Together. 

Wetlands, potholes, sloughs or marshes are interconnected with rivers across 

our watersheds. By conserving wetlands, people significantly improve the health 

of rivers, as the wetlands capture and store runoff and then slowly release it 

downstream. Nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus are removed in the process, 

excess amounts of which can cause algal blooms that turn rivers and lakes 

green, and can be toxic to fish, people, and other animals. Wetland conservation 

is a value-added approach, since along with water quality benefits, this single 

action also protects us from flood and drought, helps fight climate change, and 

provides wildlife habitat. 

Celebrating your local river is easy! Learn something new about it, the wildlife 

and plants that live in or around it, its history and how it benefits your community. 

Bring others along, encouraging them to enjoy these special waterways as 

well. Take pictures and create memories, and share your experiences on social 

media. Rivers also offer many recreation opportunities including angling, 

paddling, hiking, and bird watching. (Remember, boating can contribute to the 

spread of invasive species like zebra mussels so please clean, drain, and dry your 

boat and equipment before use.) Get outside and enjoy!

A Corvette For Saskatchewan 

Highways and Other Terrain 

Those are some BIG tires. Thirty-ones on the front and thirty-threes on the back. 

Original tire height? About twenty-five and some change. 

In a world where automobiles are no longer valued by their condition, but 

rather by their model year, more and more unexpected cars are getting cut up 

and enjoyed for what they are not. If you had asked me even five years ago what 

I thought about a Ford Crown Vic on giant mud tires, I would have told you that 

you were nuts. How about a Chevy Caprice wagon stock car? A Mazda Miata 

mud machine? All of those things exist. Why? Basically, it’s because they got 

so old and devalued that they weren’t worth anything regardless of condition. 

There’s a Chrysler 300 out there that’s a more highly-optioned model than mine 

on thirty-one-inch mud tires, telling me that I don’t need to worry about anything 

hurting the resale value (or lack thereof) of my daily driver. A few years 

ago, I sold my Corvette, and the same thing, it wasn’t worth a whole lot. It rode 

rough, it was loud, it was cramped, and it was in good enough shape that it was 

seemingly attractive to a potential customer on a budget. Never in my life did I 

expect to see a slightly newer version on gigantic Ridge Grappler tires, but here 

it is, another wild turn in 2020. 

Much like the Model T Ford, a fourth-gen Corvette rides 

CAMSHAFT on a pair of buggy springs front and rear that run side- 

CORNER to-side. There’s a perch in the middle, and the ends curve 

KELLY KIRK 

down into the front control arms and rear four-link. Being 

designed like that, lifting the car is technically as simple as 

putting a lift block on top of each leaf spring and running 

longer bolts. After that, bolt the tires on and trim with a 

reciprocating saw as needed. Don’t worry about being too 

neat. That’s the purpose of plastic fender flares. If they can 

hide rusty truck fenders, they can undoubtedly hide busted 

Corvette fibreglass. How does this one perform? Slightly 

better than a stock Corvette in an off-road situation. They’re 

a car that doesn’t like snow, rain, rutted highways, or even 

the slightest amount of gravel from my experience. One might 

think that’s a tire problem, but it’s honestly an overall problem with these cars. 

They’re not designed around those environments. This one spins, sinks, and 

gets stuck fairly easily. Not only that, but it’s a six-speed manual, so the clutch 

isn’t ready for the extra rotating size and mass of the off-road tires, nor are 

the brakes. Being a six-speed, I’m assuming the differential is a Dana 44, so it 

should handle the added load for a while anyway. Think it’s the car for you? I 

believe it’s still for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Want to see it in action? Look 

it up on YouTube. The channel is “ZeroToSixty.” Wish it was newer? Word is he’s 

building a fifth-gen next. I don’t know if LS power will help it off-road, but I 

know I’ll be watching to find out.
