Questions remain 

around Spring Bay Budget 

In a special meeting on April 1st, the RM of McKillop council sent 

back the Organized Hamlet(OH) of Spring Bay’s budget, making a 

motion to refuse the budget as the budget wasn’t in line with the 

RM’s practices and procedures. 

In the meeting, they said the Hamlet 

would have 30 days to resubmit 

their budget. Council discussed no 

additional information during the 

meeting around what issues had 

occurred in the proposal. 

A source said a meeting between 

the council and the Spring Bay 

Hamlet Board occurred regarding 

the budget and a proposed mill rate 

in May. The legislation allows an OH 

to propose their own mill rate, which 

may differ from the rest of the RM. 

When LMT asked the RM why the 

meeting was not public, CAO Brandi 

Morissette responded that “This 

meeting was not a Council Meeting 

or a Committee of Council Meeting.” 

A Ministry of Government relations spokesperson has confirmed that these meetings are not 

subject to the council meeting rules and procedures unless they occur within a council meeting. 

LMT posed the following additional questions to the RM, which have gone unanswered. 

1, Did all of the council meet with the board? 

2. From the legislation I understand that Organized Hamlet’s can request a different mill rate. If 

council were to approve Spring Bay’s mill rate, how could that affect the RM? 

3. Has the RM ever had, to your knowledge, an organized Hamlet request a different mill rate, 

or had one approved by the RM? 

4. Are the organized hamlets’ tax levy accounts fully funded? If not, why not, and what is the 

RM’s responsibility with those accounts if they aren’t? 

5. I understand there is a dispute resolution mechanism for resolving disputes between the RM 

and OH. where are you in this process? 

Town of Lumsden Council Meeting 

Investigating alternatives after 

RM says No to firearm bylaw 

Denied bylaw request, Boulevard Leases, Care Home, Committee 

report, Office update 

May 25th, 2021 

RM says no to Town’s Bylaw Request 

After a ricocheting bullet from an RM 

property landed near an area where the public 

frequents, the town asked the RM to consider 

adopting a bylaw to assist them around this 

safety concern. The CAO reported the council 

for the RM discussed the matter over two 

meetings and had Sgt Chad Clark of the Lumsden 

RCMP attend a meeting. The RM council 

decided they would support a landowner’s 

rights to protect their animals from harm. The 

CAO explained the bullets were from people 

dealing with gophers on a property and because 

gophers make holes and those holes are a 

hazard to horses, they would not pass a bylaw. 

Councillor Longmoore asked how the RM 

considered the operation of the firearm was 

continues on page 3 

occurring safely. The CAO said that council had 

not considered careless use of a firearm and 

didn’t know the intricate details of the incident. 

Councillor Jim Rawlings noted the difficulty in 

proving careless use of a firearm. 

Mayor Matheson said he understood the 

town council was asking the RM to pass a law 

in the RM; however, if that didn’t occur, they 

would look at passing a law that would extend 

beyond the town’s boundaries. The CAO said 

she wasn’t sure about the legalities of making 

bylaws that would extend into other jurisdictions, 

but they would look into it. Councillor 

Barber said he didn’t believe they had any 

authority beyond the town’s boundaries. 

Councillor Rhonda Phillips supported mayor 

Matheson’s position, noting that she found the 

RM’s position extremely disappointing. There 

continues to be some confusion as to the legal- 

Local photographer 

highlights iconic 

structures in new book 

What was once a regular sight in 

communities across the Prairies 

has now become a rarity as wooden 

grain elevators are becoming a thing 

of the past. 

Mardelle Craven-Robson and Jack Robson 

While hundreds of the iconic structures have 

disappeared over the decades in Saskatchewan, a 

local photographer has not only been able to preserve 

them through the lens of his camera but the images 

are now documented in a new book. 

Lanigan’s Jack Robson along with his wife and 

travelling companion Mardelle Craven-Robson have 

spent a considerable amount of hours in their vehicle 

in search of the iconic structures. 

Jack said the whole idea first began as a hobby over 

30 years ago. “This book is an extension of photographing 

and soliciting elevator photos from all over 

Saskatchewan. When I first started capturing elevators 

with my camera, the goal was to document every 

site that had an elevator at one time in Saskatchewan. 

Through many, many kilometres travelled and 

thousands of phone calls I was able to get all of them 

with the exception of about 15.” 

According to an article published in the May 17, 

2020 edition of the Globe and Mail, the number of 

country elevators in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and 

Manitoba peaked at 5,758 in 1933. In Saskatchewan, 

at one time there were over 3,000 wooden structures; 

however, by September 2018, the article stated 

just 427 remained. 

As the number of wooden elevators started to 

decrease, the images that Jack was able to capture 

increased. With his wife Mardelle recording each elevator 

site as Jack snapped away, Robson also credits 

the co-operation from a number of Saskatchewan 

residents, RMs, community administrators, politicians, 

the Saskatchewan Archives, the U of S Archives, 

and many friends who were able to help him 

ensure he was able to discover as many of the prairie 

landmarks as possible. 

As the number of images continued to grow over 

time, it was not long until Robson was approached 

about producing a book. “It was something that I 

never really thought about but after talking with 

friends and publishers Trudy Janssens and Warren 

Iverson (who also had a hand in providing some of 

the photos for the project Robson was unable to get), 

we thought we would go ahead with the project.”

news, articles of opinion, features, and 

advertising 

ARTICLE 

A piece of writing included with others 

in a newspaper, magazine, or other 

publication. 

EDITORIAL 

A newspaper article that gives the 

opinions of the editors or publishers of 

the publication in which it is printed. It is 

not meant to represent the voice of the 

readers or community, only the writer 

and association. 

OP-ED 

1. Short for “opposite the editorial 

page” is a page of articles usually 

(geographically) opposite the editorial 

page of a newspaper. also: a feature 

on such a page (like on a website, for 

example). 

2. An op-ed, or colloquially “Opinion 

Editorials,” is a written article published 

by a newspaper, which expresses 

the opinion of an author not affiliated 

with the publication or editor. It is 

afforded more space than a Letter to 

the Editor, and can be submitted by 

any reader. Op-ed submissions can be 

an effective way to communicate your 

opinions while initiating or adding to 

an existing debate. Within or around 

700 words. Must be signed by rightful 

name, no anonymous submissions or 

pseudonyms. Contact information should 

be provided with submission but will not 

be printed with the publication. Op-eds 

that anticipate news developments 

such as conferences, court or council 

decisions, local matters, or the subject 

of public interest are especially valuable. 

The publisher reserves the right to edit, 

condense or reject, any contribution 

without cause or print in-full, unedited. 

Submissions made to LMT should be 

exclusive to LMT unless officially rejected 

or unresponded to within ten days. 

LETTER TO THE EDITOR 

A letter to the Editor is typically shorter 

than an op-ed. It’s written in direct 

response to an article previously 

published in that paper, rather than 

any general news topic. It’s almost 

always written by a reader or concerned 

citizen. People write letters to the editor 

when they’re either opposed to an article 

previously published or because they 

agree with something and want to add 

further information. Letters should be 

250 words or thereabouts. Letters should 

cite the article name and date that it is 

referencing. 

OPEN LETTER 

An open letter is a letter that is intended 

to be read by a wide audience or a 

letter intended for an individual, but 

that is nonetheless widely distributed 

intentionally. Open letters usually take 

the form of a letter addressed to an 

individual but provided to the public 

through newspapers and other media. 

Especially common are critical open 

letters addressed to political leaders. 

There are a number of reasons why 

an individual would choose the form of 

an open letter, including the following 

reasons: 

• As a last resort to ask the public to judge 

the letter’s recipient or others involved, 

often but not always, in a critical light. 

• To state the author’s position on a 

particular issue. 

• As an attempt to start or end a wider 

dialogue around an issue 

• As an attempt to focus broad attention 

on the letter’s recipient, prompting them 

to some action 

• For humour value 

• Simply to make public a communication 

that must take place as a letter for 

reasons of formality.

subject to change. lmtimes.ca/glossary

Trost to Seek Conservative 

Nomination in Moose Jaw-Lake 

Centre-Lanigan 

For the last two weeks Brad Trost has been calling 

Conservatives in Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan and the 

message they have given him is clear. 

“Conservatives want a fighter; they want someone who is going to take on Justin 

Trudeau and the Liberals not just in Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan but across Canada.” 

Trost is well known in some northern parts of the riding having represented part of the 

Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan riding when they were part of Saskatoon-Humboldt. 

“People are telling me on the phones that they are excited to talk to me. The Conservatives 

in this riding are telling me they want an outspoken, principled candidate, they want 

someone who is not afraid of the Liberals and their allies in the media.” 

Brad Trost 

While Trost has been calling voters on the phone for the last two weeks, he is looking 

forward to having in person events as soon as covid restrictions permit. “The calendar is being organized, I’ve received invites to 

meet with people throughout this entire riding, and I intend to visit with as many people face to face as is possible.” 

Trost’s goal is not just to win in Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan but to help the Conservatives win in the next election. “No Conservative 

truly wins until we are back in government. I want a principled Conservative government for all of Canada, I won’t be happy till 

that day comes.”

Kathryn Pollack Seeking 

Conservative Nomination In Moose 

Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan 

Tuesday, June 1 - Kathryn 

Pollack officially announced 

she is entering the race for 

the Conservative nomination 

in Moose Jaw-Lake Centre- 

Lanigan. 

While Pollack has never run for political 

office, she believes that her strong business 

and family farming background will bring 

a much-needed fresh perspective to this 

important nomination race. 

“I am not a career politician who needs 

a job,” said Pollack. “I am running because 

I believe, as your voice in Ottawa, I can 

make positive contributions to our future 

growth and prosperity.” 

Tom Lukiwski currently holds the Conservative 

seat but recently announced he 

will not be seeking re-election in the next 

Federal election. 

“My commitment to the residents in 

Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan is that I 

will take your concerns and passionately 

share them in Ottawa,” said Pollack. “I 

will proudly represent you and your family 

on all issues impacting our lives and the 

future of Canada.” 

Pollack also looks forward to being part 

of the Conservative leadership team that 

will help move Canadians into post-pandemic 

recovery. 

‘I am excited to visit with you and discuss 

how we can work together to ensure 

a positive future for our children,” added 

Pollack.

Spring bay / mckillop continues from page 1 

While we couldn’t get the present Reeve, Bob 

Schmidt, on record, former RM of McKillop Reeve, 

Howard Arndt, said that one year at the Spring Bay 

Annual meeting, a different mill rate had been unofficially 

brought up. He said during the two years he 

was Reeve, no organized Hamlet had made an official 

request “because it would have been shut down before 

it even started.” Regarding alternate mill rates, 

Arndt said, “it’s financially unfair to anybody besides 

the Hamlet that is asking that. It’s economically 

unfair.” 

Arndt also said regarding the risks to the RM if 

an OH had a different mill rate. “If [an unorganized 

hamlet’s] mill rate was dropped it would be contributing 

less money into general revenue. Which means 

that shortfall would be put onto the shoulders of 

everyone else.” 

Ardnt also said, “It’s my opinion that once it happens 

with one organized hamlet others will follow 

and it will just become even more inequitable.” 

We asked the Ministry of Government Relations 

about the requirements around an organized hamlet’s 

tax levy account. A spokesperson from the Ministry 

of Government Relations said, “Legislation does 

not require a RM to keep a fully cash-funded account 

for an OH. Monies in the hamlet account are used for 

payments made on behalf of the OH as designated in 

the OH budget.” 

When asked about the responsibility around money 

for an OH’s tax levy account, the spokesperson from 

the Ministry of Government Relations said, “While 

the OH is declared by the minister through Minister’s 

Order, the RM council remains the governing body 

of the OH and ultimately has financial stewardship of 

the OH assets and liabilities.” 

“The RM must keep separate ledger accounts for 

the OH based on revenue and expenses and be prepared 

to fund any budgeted or emergency expenses 

of the OH. This could include using any accumulated 

reserve funding.” 

“The RM shall allocate to the hamlet account, all 

grant monies received on behalf of the OH and at 

least 40% and not more than 75% (as agreed upon 

between the OH and the RM) municipal tax revenue 

and fees.” 

“Section 32 of The Municipal Regulations states 

that unexpended funds are to be accumulated and 

reserved to the credit of the OH account; it does not 

state that this must be a cash account.” 

While the RM has failed to respond to questions 

around what appears to be an ongoing matter 

between the RM and the Organized Hamlet, it is 

notable that the RM Council dedicated an entire page 

to Organized Hamlet’s Tax Levy Account in the May 

edition of the McKillop newsletter. The information 

detailed the legislation and a list of expenditures the 

tax levy is to be used for, noting after each that assets 

attained are the property of the RM and that an Organized 

Hamlet’s Municipal tax revenues go into the 

RM’s general revenue account. 

Communications to the Chair of the Spring Bay 

Board, Karen Kramer, have gone unreturned. 

We will be following this story as it develops.

Town of Lumsden - continues from page 1 

ities around pest control vs hunting. 

Councillor Jenelle Brennan suggested 

that the town complete more research 

into their options because they have 

more responsibility. 

Council directed administration to 

look into the matter and report back 

Boulevard Leases 

The request for a municipal boulevard 

lease for Free Bird was approved 

by council. 

Council discussed the amendment 

to the municipal boulevard lease for 

Lumsden Valley Pizza. As additional 

work needed to be addressed before the 

council would approve an amendment, 

the council sent it back to Planning and 

Development. Director Bryck would 

bring it back for the next meeting of 

council. 

Care Home 

There was a discretionary use development 

application before council for 

a care home in the Canyon Creek Subdivision. 

Notices were sent to property 

owners within 75 meters of the boundary 

of the proposed use. The council 

received three submissions and a few 

inquiries. The care home is a large single 

detached residential dwelling for up 

to five care home residents and a family 

of six who will live at the property. The 

house will conform to the architectural 

requirements of the area. 

Planning and Development Director 

Aimee Bryck explained that care 

homes are listed as a discretionary 

use in Lumsden for concerns around 

parking. However, as the lots are large 

at Canyon Creek and there will be no 

additional staff, this is not a concern 

for this application. 

Several councillors noted that it 

wouldn’t have come to the council if the 

home would’ve been fostering children. 

Director Bryck pointed out that the 

city of Regina changed their bylaws for 

care homes to be a permitted use as 

opposed to a discretionary use. If the 

owner sells the property in the future, 

it would be sold as a single-detached 

home, and the designation of being a 

care home would not go with it. 

Council approved the application. 

Group 1 Committee Report 

The committee looked at increasing 

swimming fees to offset costs. Councillor 

Jenelle Brennan provided information 

around the fee increase. She 

said that the revenue brought in was 

approximately $13,000 and expenses 

around $16,000. The committee looked 

at the costs of similar programs. They 

decided to increase the fees to 45$ per 

swimmer and $120 per family. Council 

passed the motion for the fee increase. 

The committee asked the town to 

look into the costs of improving the 

dike trail, potentially putting in an 

asphalt surface on the North and South 

sides. Mayor Matheson said there 

would be multiple benefits of paving 

the surfaces. Council made a motion 

for the administration to investigate 

costs. 

The Health District has approved 

the license for the town to operate the 

campground with positive reviews 

for the cleanliness of the washroom 

buildings. There are no updates if the 

canteen will open under current pandemic 

regulations. 

Community Coordinator Chris Exner 

is looking at dates for the scarecrow 

festival. A potential date of September 

25th is being considered. Costs associated 

with the festival are around 

$5000. 

The irrigation is in place for the ball 

diamonds. In addition, Minor ball has 

ordered digital scoreboards for the 

diamonds for which they have raised 

funds. 

The trail bridge project west of Lumsden 

is underway. Fabrication of the 

bridge and foundation will be in July 

and August. With targeted completion 

by the end of September. 

A contractor has pruned the trees at 

Riverpark and around the campground 

and buildings. 

Town of Lumsden Council Meeting - May 25 2021 

The swim program will be happening 

again with two pools in use. They are 

hoping to receive a third and will have 

around 300 participants. The tentative 

dates for the program are July 5-16 and 

August 3-13. 

There is the potential for a future 

community garden as a resident is willing 

to allow the use of some land for the 

purpose. 

There were two requests from residents 

to provide a swimming pool in 

the community. Councillor Tumbach 

noted they had asked the administration 

for more preliminary information 

for the September meeting. Councillor 

Barber said the town of Indian Head 

had just put in a new pool, and the 

town of Balgonie had just completed 

a significant upgrade of theirs. These 

towns may be able to provide information 

to assist Administration in 

information gathering. 

Communications 

The council received a letter from 

the Financial and Consumer Affairs 

Authority reminding that all door-todoor 

sellers are required to obtain a 

direct sellers license from the Province. 

If someone has a seller come to their 

home, they recommended people ask 

to see their provincial direct seller’s 

licence. 

The RM of Pense sent a communication 

asking that Lumsden not vote in 

favour of the name change for SUMA. 

Office Update 

The CAO, Monica Merkosky, said that 

70% of the staff are back to working 

on site. The CAO will be developing a 

back-to-work strategy with vaccinations 

rolling out, preferring to give the 

most recent staff member a few weeks 

of experience with the office closed so 

she can provide the best customer service 

possible when reopening. The CAO 

said she prefers the office to be open 

once tax notices go out. 

Bylaws 

Council passed all three readings for 

the mill rate and mill rate factor bylaw. 

Council also passed all three readings 

for the recreation fees. 

The next meeting of the council is on 

June 8th.

European styling graces Picardie Villa 

The estate-size Picardie Villa’s 

chateau exterior is a treat for the 

eye. Behind that fascinating facade, 

it’s a luxurious, two-story 

spread designed for living large, 

both indoors and out. 

Distinctly European influences 

are seen in the iron balcony railing, 

eyebrow arches, half-timbered 

entry detailing, and elaborate 

chimneys capped with decorative 

chimney pots. Inside, the home is 

totally contemporary. 

To enter, you pass through a 

lofty vaulted porch before stepping 

inside a grand foyer with a 24-foot 

ceiling. An opening on the right 

leads into a dining room with 

an attached wine room, while 

the opening 

on the left 

links with a 

vaulted den, 

complete with

RM of Lumsden - Council Meeting Highlights 

Conversions for Airbnb rentals, Fire bans, Disley Road Grading, Little 

Church Bridge Update 

June 3rd, 2021 

Council for the RM of 

Lumsden met on June 3rd 

over Zoom. 

There were three items 

before council for planning 

and development applications 

and reports. 

Zoning Amendment 

Denied 

A moment of levity between Councillors 

A development application 

for rezoning was 

denied by council without 

the opportunity to receive 

feedback from the public. 

The applicant has 72 

acres in the valley, which 

is zoned as R1. The applicant 

requested the land 

be rezoned to Ag because the maximum number 

of animals allowed under R1 restricts the number 

of animals to six, and the applicant wants to 

have a viable livestock operation. The property 

is surrounded by other properties that are also 

zoned as R1. 

In an agriculture zone, up to 300 animal units 

are allowed; over 300 is classified as an intensive 

livestock operation and would need to go through 

a discretionary use approval process. 

Initially, Reeve Kent Farago said that he would 

want neighbouring landowners to be aware of 

what a change would mean to them, with the 

potential of having up to 300 animals next door. 

Planning and Development Director Aimee Bryck 

said because the application is for rezoning that 

public notification would be required for two 

weeks. Bryck also said that she would have to 

confirm if notification was required from neighbouring 

properties; however, the RM could still 

reach out to solicit their comments. 

Bryck further explained that the R1 designation 

is a ‘relic’ and a holdover from the previous bylaw. 

The RM doesn’t use R1 any longer but instead 

designating a property as a CR1 as the two designations 

are similar. 

In a CR1 designation that allows up to six animals, 

there are standards that dictate setbacks. 

Those setbacks allow some assurance that corrals 

and facilities aren’t built up to a property line. 

There are no in-between designations, one allowing 

up to six animals and the other up to 300. 

Councillor Cody Garbutt reminded the council 

that there had been complaints about the number 

of animals around the property and other issues 

in the previous year. Garbutt said he empathized 

with the applicant as he felt they were trying to 

do the right thing as they continue to be over the 

number of animals allowed; however, he didn’t 

feel the land was conducive to an ag operation. 

Reeve Farago asked about the process going 

forward, asking if the council would have the first 

reading and then reach out to neighbouring properties 

or would council reach out to neighbouring 

properties first. 

Councillor Jordison noted that the council did 

not need to proceed with a first reading. Bryck 

confirmed that if the council wanted to proceed, 

they would have first reading, which would 

launch the public notification process that would 

include a public hearing. The public hearing 

would allow neighbours to present any concerns 

about the proposed rezoning. Council would then 

consider the submissions with no timeline to approve 

or deny as the RM could have the process 

be as long as they want it to be. 

Reeve Farago posed a question, “Is there any 

point of going down this road if it’s a no go with 

council right now?” Bryck responded that there 

wouldn’t be if the council didn’t support it, they 

would let the applicant know, and because it’s a 

rezoning application, they would have no right of 

appeal. 

Councillor Neuls asked for a recorded vote on 

Councillor Garbutt’s motion to reject the zoning 

application. Councillors Garbutt, Jordison, 

Langford and Farago voted for the motion, and 

Councillors Neuls and Schlosser voted against the 

motion. 

Subdivision Application #2021-021 

Planning and Development Director Aimee 

Bryck noted she had been working with the applicant 

and their surveyors. The applicants have 

amended their plan, which would reduce one of 

the parcels to meet the size requirements. Bryck 

noted some additional information relevant to the 

application, and after several questions council 

approved the subdivision application. 

Residential Homestays and Short Term 

Accommodation 

The matter had been brought before council 

several weeks ago from a ratepayer who wants 

to rent a guest space room in his home through 

Airbnb. Director Aimee Bryck said that Airbnb 

rentals are classified as residential homestays/ 

short-term accommodations. Bryck noted when 

she first brought the proposal before council, they 

were very supportive and had directed the administration 

to prepare some amendments. Bryck 

reviewed what other jurisdictions were doing to 

regulate similar land use. 

Bryck suggested council reconsider charging 

the applicant with changing the zoning bylaw as 

it currently isn’t provided for in the RM’s bylaws. 

The text amendment cost is approximately 400$ 

Bryck said the applicant felt that other people 

would benefit from the change. 

Council agreed the benefit would be to others 

as well. Councillor Langford noted it was an 

administrative procedure and part of the cost of 

running the RM. 

Council also discussed permitting as a discretionary 

use and if renewals would be required. 

Bryck noted the City of Regina handles similar 

rentals under business licensing. As the RM does 

not have business licensing procedures, it would 

fit best under their permitting structure under 

the zoning bylaw. 

Bryck noted in her review there is a local business 

that has a permit to operate bed and breakfast. 

Reeve Farago asked if that business was still 

approved and operating, noting there had been 

issues with units. The CAO stated the owner had 

removed the two additional units, and the owner 

had filed an assessment appeal. An assessor 

would be verifying the removal. 

Councillor Jordison noted that until recently, 

the business was advertising they were operating 

out of a barn and had a different interpretation 

of the approval. Councillor Garbutt pointed out 

that the barn was the only unit that had been 

approved. 

Director Bryck asked for council’s input around 

some unique opportunities in the RM for barn 

conversions, granaries into cabins, etc. However, 

the RM would need to be careful that they are 

correctly connected to water and sewage facili-


Oilers’ great expectations 

fall short 

‘Great Expectations’ has already 

been taken as a book title, but 

perhaps the Edmonton Oilers 

can use it as a subtitle to their 

reflections on an abbreviated 

2020-21 National Hockey League 

season. 

local photographer continues from page 1 

Called, ‘The Book of Saskatchewan Grain Elevators,’ the 

labour of love contains 190 pages of 1,140 different elevator 

sites and 1,200 photos. Retailing for $99.99, Robson said, 

“We are a non-profit group and any surplus funds that we 

do receive from the sales will be used to purchase books 

for care homes, museums and other places.” 

With a tentative release date of June 25, Jack said people 

who are interested in purchasing copies of The Book of 

Saskatchewan Grain Elevators can contact him or Mardelle 

at 306-365-2004. 

“This project was really a team effort by Mardelle, myself, 

Trudy, Warren and Mr. Print in Saskatoon. I hope that 

once the book is finished people will enjoy looking at the 

photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.”

With the best player in the world in their 

lineup, and perhaps the second-best player in 

the NHL skating beside him, the Oilers were 

not expected to be swept out of the Stanley Cup 

playoffs by the Winnipeg Jets in the first round. 

The Jets are a quality team, and the Oilers were 

certainly not assured of victory, but to lose four 

in a row was not showing up in anyone’s crystal 

ball. 

So now Connor McDavid, closing in on his 

prime, has been shunted to the playoff sidelines 

in Round 1 four consecutive years. Edmontonians 

have had the Great Gretzky and now 

McDavid leading their NHL franchise, and today 

they’re wondering why McDavid can’t produce 

Stanley Cups as 99 did back in the 1980s. For one 

thing, Gretzky’s supporting cast was far superior 

to the one currently aiding McDavid and his 

superstar sidekick, Leon Draisaitl. If Gretzky was 

resting on the bench, the likes of Mark Messier, 

Jari Kurri, Glenn Anderson and Paul Coffey 

could take over, and dominate. Today’s Oilers 

have McDavid, Draisaitl and a plethora of ‘pretty 

goods” — Jesse Puljujarvi, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 

and Darnell Nurse — but no obvious Hall-of- 

Famers. 

Expectations were high for the Oilers this year 

after a second-place finish in the North Division 

(35-19-2), a solid nine points better than the 

Jets. But the better-balanced Winnipeg team got 

exceptional goaltending from Connor Hellebuyck 

and used overtime magic (the last three wins 

were in OT) to send McDavid and Co. scurrying 

to the GolfNow website. 

General manager Ken Holland has a busy summer 

ahead of him as he attempts to fill in some 

of the holes on the roster. He will have salary 

cap space on his side, and he 

FROM THE 

knows what he’s doing, as 

evidenced by his Stanley Cup 

SIDELINES history in Detroit. The Wings 

BRUCE PENTON won two Stanley Cups in 

the late 1990s, after three or 

four “disappointments,” said 

Holland, and he told Terry 

Jones of the Edmonton 

Journal that those disappointments 

in Detroit are 

similar to what the Oilers 

have been going through 

lately. 

Meanwhile, the Jets are currently playing in 

the Canadian division championship and the 

managerial wheels are turning in Edmonton, 

determined to find a talented supporting cast for 

McDavid and turn those great expectations into 

positive results. 

Patti Dawn Swansson, on Twitter: “In the end, 

the Winnipeg Jets out-Connored the Edmonton 

Oilers. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was the 

deciding factor in the playoff sweep, and Kyle 

Connor scored the winning goal in triple OT in 

Game 4, after Connor McDavid coughed up the 

puck.” 

Headline on fark.com: “Ha-Ha Clinton Dix 

is trying out for the Texans, and that’s no 

laughing matter.” 

RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “New Detroit 

Lions bench boss, Dan Campbell, told team 

ownership he wants a pet lion roaming at 

practice to motivate the team. Another statement 

from the coach to give us paws.” 

Headline in theonion.com: “‘We’re So 

Screwed,’ Says Detroit Lions Fan After 

Seeing They Got Matched Up Against Other 

Teams Again” 

Omaha comedy writer Brad Dickson, via 

Twitter, after miraculously no one was hurt when 

two small planes collided over Denver: “Meanwhile, 

every year at least one major-league baseball 

player misses half the season after injuring 

himself with a can opener or dental floss.” 

Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Bigger cloud 

over NFL offseason: Aaron Rodgers wanting divorce 

from Green Bay? Or Deshaun Watson legal 

mess in Houston? Close call.” 

Ron Green Jr., of Global Golf Post, on Phil 

Mickelson’s tenuous lead going into the final 

round of the PGA: “Mickelson started the final 

round one stroke ahead of Brooks Koepka and 

two ahead of Louis Oosthuizen, the equivalent of 

being tailgated at 150 mph.” 

Swansson again, on TNT signing Wayne Gretzky 

to a $3 million contract to serve as an analyst 

next year: “Memo to TNT: Gretzky is known as 

The Great One, not The Glib One.” 

Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel, on Twitter, 

after a fan dumped popcorn on Washington’s 

Russell Westbrook: “The fan has been identified 

as Orville Redenbacher.” 

Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “In a TMZ 

video, Aaron Rodgers is in Hawaii wearing a 

man-bun and singing and playing guitar to movie 

stars. Somewhere the ghost of Johnny Unitas just 

shed a single, broken-hearted tear.” 

RJ Currie again: “LeBron James was once fined 

$5,000 for flopping against the Pacers. That 

was one minute, seven seconds pay he never got 

back.”

Canada’s debt 

ranking falls 

from best in the G7 to 5th worst of 29 advanced 

countries when total debt is measured 

VANCOUVER—Canada’s relative debt 

position is much worse than the federal 

government suggests when a larger 

group of advanced countries are included 

and total debt is measured, finds a 

new study released today by the Fraser 

Institute, an independent, non-partisan, 

Canadian public policy think-tank. 

“The federal government is very 

quick to point out that the country’s net 

debt relative to the size of the economy 

(GDP) is lowest in the G7, but our rank 

falls to 11th when the group of comparison 

countries is expanded to the 29 

advanced countries—including many European countries and Australia—for 

which comparable data exists,” said Jason Clemens, executive vice president of 

the Fraser Institute and co-author of Caution Required When Comparing Canada’s 

Debt to that of Other Countries. 

Moreover, Canada’s relative debt position falls further when total debt is measured 

instead of debt after adjusting for financial assets. Net debt, which is the 

measure used by the federal government offsets a part of the country’s total debt 

by including financial assets. 

Specifically, Canada ranks 25th of 29 countries for its total (gross) debt as a 

share of the economy. In other words, Canada’s total debt relative to GDP is the 

5th highest amongst the industrialized world. 

“Even within the narrower G7, Canada falls from first to fourth in its debt 

ranking when total debt rather than debt after financial assets are measured,” 

commented Clemens. 

No other country experiences as pronounced a change in its ranking when 

moving from a measure of total debt (gross) to debt after financial assets (net 

debt). Canada drops 14 places in its ranking while Finland, which experiences 

the second largest decline in its ranking, falls only 6 spots. 

The reason Canada’s debt position declines so dramatically when gross debt— 

and not net debt—is measured is because net debt includes the assets of the 

Canada Pension Plan and the Quebec Pension Plan, which unlike the public pension 

programs of other developed countries invests in non-government assets 

such as stocks and bonds. 

As of March 2020, the combined assets of the CPP and QPP, some $488.1 

billion, represented roughly one-third of the difference between Canada’s total 

debt and net debt. 

“The idea that the assets of the Canada and Quebec pension plans are available 

to governments and should be counted against the debt distorts the gravity 

of Canada’s indebtedness,” Clemens said.

rm lumsden continues from page 4 

ties. Reeve Farago felt, in his opinion, 

if an outbuilding would be used, it 

should be inspected and permitted for 

public occupation, then the RM would 

be ok with that. 

Bryck noted that there is a unique 

aspect for people who are looking for 

agricultural tourism accommodations. 

She said the council could either limit 

it to people’s residences or open it up 

to outbuildings, accessory buildings 

such as garage and garden suites. 

Councillor Jordison thought that 

Airbnb had to be limited to homes, but 

finding out it didn’t, he was ok with 

opening it up to include other buildings. 

Bryck said she looked at what the 

RM of Edenwold does. She said in 

Edenwold, they are considered a vacation 

rental and have a definition and 

policies for where they are allowed, 

noting that they aren’t designated as 

a discretionary use in their zoning 

bylaw. Bryck said she wasn’t sure if 

Edenwold would use business licensing 

to regulate them and would reach 

out to their planning and development 

manager. 

Reeve Farago noted that if they are 

for public use, they should be inspected 

and approved, saying that was the 

problem council had with the other 

units. Councillor Langford noted that 

it wasn’t long ago that the council was 

in discussions regarding the differences 

between 4-foot roof rafters for 

ag buildings vs 2-foot spacings for 

residential. He thought that council 

would be opening the doors, returning 

to a four-foot rafter on a farm with a 

converted building, and that council 

would find themselves in a ‘real 

dilemma.’ 

Farago responded, saying there were 

other things, such as access to fire 

safety which is why they need to be 

inspected. Lanford said he wanted to 

stick with allowing residential Airbnb 

rather than modified outbuildings. 

Farago was supportive of the opportunities 

for development, such as a 

hobby ranch wanting to convert granaries 

or a barn as per Bryck’s comments 

and that sticking with residential only 

would be limiting those opportunities. 

Garbutt asked where liability falls 

around these developments. Farago 

thought that he would rather err on 

the side of public safety and that if 

someone wants to create these buildings, 

they should do their due diligence 

to make it safe. Bryck agreed 

with Farago that there is an onus on 

the owner that they have to make sure 

their building is up to code and that an 

inspection piece would be important. 

Director Bryck will draft, formalize 

it and prepare the amendment for 

first reading, which will kick start the 

public notification process. 

Little Church Bridge 

The RM of Longlaketon and the 

RM of Lumsden met to discuss the 

estimates for the bridge replacement, 

which straddles both RM’s. Public 

Works Manager Leighton Watts said 

they agreed to go forward with a 

single-lane structure. He has forwarded 

the information to the engineer to 

start the tendering and final design 

process. 

Fire Dept. Delegation 

Fire Chief Jeff Carey presented as 

a delegation before the council to 

answer council’s questions around fire 

bans. Carey said they pay attention to 

all of the conditions that can contribute 

to fire risks. Weather, dryness, 

humidity, temperature and wind, as 

well as other factors. 

He said that in their experience, a 

fire ban has minimal impact on the 

type of grass fires they attend. He 

said the majority of fires are caused 

by mechanical failures or by trains. 

He added that it is not the fire pit that 

gets away or a farmer burning stubble 

because farmers are usually prepared. 

He said they rely on farmers a lot to 

bring them water. 

Councillor Jordison suggested that 

Carey submit a fire condition report to 

let the public know that the situation is 

being monitored. Carey also suggested 

providing some education through the 

website. Carey thought that if they can 

educate people, they don’t have to stop 

people from having their backyard 

fires. 

Lumsden Sports Association – 

Financial Support Request 

The Lumsden Sports Association is 

separate from the town. The town of 

Lumsden has contributed $20,000. 

The RM agreed to match the town’s 

contribution, which will come from 

the safe restart money the RM had 

placed into reserves. 

South Shore First Responders 

Board – Medical and Emergency 

Equipment Grant 

Councillor Jordison was in support 

of the request to purchase mannequins. 

Council carried the motion. 

Village of Disley – Grading 

Request for Village Streets 

Reeve Farago noted that the RM 

didn’t do custom grading for ratepayers 

and said this is the problem if they 

do it for another area. 

Councillor Garbutt said he had 

reviewed the request noting that the 

road is 1 km of gravel roads. He said 

that if the RM did it twice a year, it 

would only be two kms. He thought it 

was justifiable because the RM would 

be assisting another municipality 

within the RM of Lumsden. 

Councillor Jordison agreed with 

Councillor Garbutt but was concerned 

that the RM would be taking on the 

village of Disley’s public works and 

posed what would happen if something 

occurred between grades. 

Jordison was also worried about what 

would happen with snow removal. 

Public Works manager Leighton 

Watts said the commitment would be 

one hour to grade the roads in Disley. 

He said they already grade a section 

of Disley’s road because of its location 

because it is difficult for the grader to 

stop for a short distance. He added 

because the RM’s ratepayers use the 

section of the road, they grade it. 

However, they do not do the internal 

roads of Disley. Watts said he was ok 

with doing it as long as the council was 

ok with the optics of the RM doing the 

work. 

Council put the discussion on hold 

until after the council’s closed session. 

After council came out of the closed 

session, they decided they would complete 

a courtesy grade of Disley’s roads 

once in 2021 and would assist them 

in looking for a company to help them 

moving forward. 

The next meeting of council is on 

June 17th at 7:00 pm.

7 

responsible for 12 gigatons 

In our world, very little operates in a vacuum. 

AG NOTES 

CALVIN DANIELS 

The activities of the human race tend to be very inter-connected, 

with what happens in one sector having a ripple effect 

into other areas of our lives. For example, there are those who 

focus a lot of attention on reducing the use of fossil fuels. In part 

because it is a finite resource, but of more immediate concern 

- what effect burning coal and using gasoline and diesel has on 

the atmosphere. But, what is the impact of renewable energy 

options? 

Do we need to worry about utilizing a finite farmland base to 

grow crops for biofuels in a world where we know people still go 

to bed hungry, and the populations continue to grow, meaning 

more mouths to feed? What about dealing with storage batteries 

when they fail? Or the blades and gears and towers of wind farms? 

Certainly, there is growing awareness of what we do with our garbage having a huge 

impact on the environment. 

The problem of plastics, which can take hundreds of years to degrade in nature, 

polluting world oceans is now a thing of headlines. How we address that issue alone 

is a huge question we must answer as caretakers of this planet. We tend to look at 

agriculture as doing things rather well in terms of sustainability, with increased 

awareness of protecting waterways and wildlife. 

However, a United Nations’ Food Systems Summit, which will be held in New 

York this fall, may well show the sector, at least on a worldwide basis, is not doing so 

well. If that is the case, what will the response be? It is likely going to be a response 

that impacts how farmers farm. The UN Conference of the Parties (COP) meeting in 

Paris in 2015 got the ball rolling on the upcoming Food Systems Summit. Delegates 

attending the COP meeting learned that food production was responsible for 12 

gigatons of the world’s annual greenhouse gas emissions. That was about 25 percent 

of emissions, not from coal-fired factories or grid-locked cars on city freeways or 

passenger planes and ocean freighters. 

Now the UN has never been quick in coming to binding agreements. Getting a deal 

on world agricultural trade tends to be a process that drags on for years and typically 

ends up so watered down its impact is hard to notice. Still, world climate change 

has many much more focused on solutions, so what comes out of this process may 

hit sooner than later. It will impact farming, the energy sector and given their dual 

importance, it will ripple widely.

Official Opposition joins calls to protect rural 

ambulance services 

REGINA – Thursday, June 3, 2021, Official Opposition 

Health Critic Vicki Mowat joined the Mayor 

of the Village of Glenavon Bill Sluser in calling on 

the provincial government to commit to providing 

funding to fill ambulance vacancies resulting in service 

disruptions to communities in Saskatchewan’s 

Southeast. 

“This is another example of how this government 

has completely sidelined the health and safety of 

rural residents. Thank God there hasn’t been a fatal 

accident. It shouldn’t take an avoidable fatality to 

convince this government to invest in rural healthcare,” 

said Mowat. “The people of this province 

expect essential health services like ambulances to be 

available when they need them the most.” 

Since the end of January of this year, Kipling and 

area have been short a paramedic for their ambulance 

services due to a maternity leave. The region 

has been left with limited service, with no ambulances 

available for two-thirds of the month. Should 

there be an incident when a local ambulance is not 

available, often one must be sent from surrounding 

communities, resulting in wait times of over an hour. 

Despite Mayor Sluser and council reaching out to local 

MLA Bonk, Minister Hindley, Minister Merriman 

and Premier Scott Moe, the position has remained 

vacant since January. 

“The Saskatchewan Health Authority has told me 

this position has remained vacant for over 5 months 

because the Ministry won’t fund a permanent fulltime 

position,” said Sluser. “How on earth does it 

make any sense to pinch pennies on paramedics 

when people’s lives are at stake. The Sask. Party 

needs to stop taking Saskatchewan’s rural communities 

for granted and ensure live-saving care is there 

when we need it.” 

Saskatchewan has one of the most expensive and 

dysfunctional ambulance systems in the country. Despite 

undertaking reviews of the ambulance system 

in 2008 and 2017 no meaningful changes have been 

made to improve services provided to Saskatchewan 

people. The Official Opposition is joining the calls 

from the Village of Glenavon and other rural residents 

demanding this government immediately: 

Commit to funding to fill gaps in rural ambulance 

coverage due to staffing shortages. 

Provide current information on what other Saskatchewan 

communities are also without full-time 

ambulance coverage. 

Publicly report on ambulance service disruptions 

the way Emergency Room, Laboratory and X-ray 

services are reported through SHA Service Alerts, so 

Saskatchewan residents can make informed choices 

about how to keep themselves and their loved ones 

safe.

MINISTERIAL MESSAGES 

Who Holds the Keys to the Kingdom of God? 

Matthew 7: 7&8 

Recently I listened to a recording of a great old Gospel 

hymn, “Who holds the keys to the Kingdom of God?” Within 

the words of the hymn is a strong pointed message about 

how we should live day by day and communicate with that 

all-powerful being that creates, controls and guides all of 

us with power and majesty beyond our imagination. We 

are speaking about the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of 

God is described as the realm where Jesus Christ reigns as 

king, and God’s authority is supreme. It is a kingdom existing 

in the here and now in the lives and the hearts of the 

redeemed, the believers, as well as the perfect future that 

awaits God’s children in Heavenly Paradise. This Kingdom 

is the fervent hope of every believer, every churchgoer, 

every reader of scripture, but how do we unlock those Holy 

doors and enter the inner circle to the presence of our Lord 

and Savior Jesus Christ. What are the keys to unlock those 

Pearly Gates? From the great old hymn, “Start with the Key 

that will unlock your heart.” This means our hearts must be 

open and welcoming to Jesus entering our hearts and souls. 

As we know, no amount of effort and persistence will open 

a locked door if your key is not the proper key for the lock. 

The first key is to open your heart and let Jesus come in. 

The welcome mat must be out for Jesus. “Love your 

neighbour,” as love is another key to the Heavenly Mansion 

above. One warning, do not lose your keys as you can not 

buy your way to God’s fold. From the hymn “The Master 

key’s next, my dear neighbour, and it’s one you should use 

every day. Prayer is the key to the Great Pearly Gates, and 

you’re unlocking them when you pray.” Do you pray? Prayer 

is the most powerful and effective means to stay close to 

our Savior and to receive the gentle instructions from our 

Jesus as well. You’ve all heard the quote, “More things are 

wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” To be faithful 

children of God, we must pray! Approaching Almighty God 

may be intimidating, but Jesus understands if we don’t use 

all the correct words or terminology or if our language isn’t 

perfect. We are speaking to the wisest and most intelligent 

and loving being there is. We should have no fear. We must 

remember and approach prayer as a fundamental conversation 

with Jesus. Prayer is an act of faith, and one cannot 

please God without faith. Prayer is the key to Heaven, but 

faith unlocks the door. Prayer is knocking on Heaven’s door, 

on Jesus’ door. “When trumpets ring out in the morning, 

and you step where angels have trod, that’s the great day. 

You’ll be so glad you used all the keys to the Kingdom of 

God. Remember, YOU HOLD THE KEYS TO THE KING- 

DOM OF GOD.

A few things. First, both were promoted in red, a colour that the Ford F-series 

has always worn well, a colour that looks fast, grabbing the eye of both customers 

and cops. Second, and most importantly, both sound like an F-150, which 

the new Lightning just can’t do. I may be biased towards General Motors, but 

I’ll always admit that Ford’s sound better, and although I’m mostly Lightning 

agnostic, it pleases me that General Motors pickups finally sound better than
