<strong>Jan</strong>uary 25, 2022<br />
The Office of the Information<br />
and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC)<br />
released a two-part report on <strong>Jan</strong>uary<br />
13. The Commissioner makes<br />
recommendations to the RM on<br />
what to withhold and release on four<br />
different areas their office reviewed.<br />
READ Here.<br />
The review was requested in<br />
March of 2021 by this reporter after<br />
the RM refused to release records<br />
for: (1) Ethics and conflict of interest<br />
complaints submitted against<br />
councilors since <strong>Jan</strong>uary 2018; (2)<br />
Applications submitted to the RM<br />
from Glamping/Northshore Development<br />
since <strong>Jan</strong>uary 2020; (3)<br />
Quotes received for live streaming;<br />
and (4) A document which Council<br />
discussed when deciding to hire an<br />
RM solicitor.<br />
When the OIPC Review Report<br />
came up for discussion in the<br />
regular <strong>Jan</strong> 25th meeting, Reeve<br />
Schmidt noted that the CAO had to<br />
be designated the coordinator. CAO<br />
Brandi Morissette asked what if she<br />
didn’t want to be the coordinator.<br />
Reeve Schmidt said the designation<br />
would be based on the Council’s<br />
motion. The CAO said the process is<br />
complicated and that mistakes can<br />
be made.<br />
“In these reports they are asking<br />
us to do specific things and we have<br />
to communicate our decisions based<br />
on their recommendations to them<br />
and to the applicant within 30 days.”<br />
Morissette said.<br />
The CAO noted, “the recommendations<br />
are very clear as to what<br />
they would like us to do. At this particular<br />
time, I don’t see any reason<br />
not to do it.” The CAO said that her<br />
only concern was the costs involved<br />
in sending out the information. The<br />
Reeve responded that they will be<br />
responding with information on the<br />
fees, “and there’s definitely going to<br />
be the fees to do it.”<br />
U 15 hockey game on Friday <strong>Jan</strong>. 28,2022. Strasbourg-Raymore-Nokomis Vs Muenster<br />
Flyers. Final score was 7 vs 2 for Strasbourg-Raymore-Nokomis<br />
Reeve Bob Schmidt informed the<br />
Council they don’t have to follow the<br />
OIPC recommendations.<br />
“For Council’s sake, recommendations<br />
by the privacy commissioner<br />
are not…how do you say it…are not<br />
binding on Council. So, we make the<br />
decision on these particular items.<br />
And you can review the privacy<br />
commissioner’s annual report, and<br />
you can find out all the local authorities<br />
that have been cited for not<br />
following the recommendations.”<br />
Reeve Schmidt gave examples of the<br />
Saskatoon and Regina Police Service,<br />
and Saskatoon and Regina City<br />
Councils plus one RM not following<br />
the privacy commissioner’s recommendations.<br />
Reeve Schmidt gave an example<br />
of the RM of McKillop in 2018<br />
being cited for not following OIPC<br />
recommendations. Schmidt asked<br />
Councillor Howard Arndt, who was<br />
on Council at the time as the Reeve,<br />
what the fall-out was from not following<br />
the recommendations. Arndt<br />
said they did follow the recommendations<br />
but said another one from<br />
the CBC was handled after he left<br />
Council.<br />
Arndt said, “Just so that you know.<br />
If we choose not to follow the recommendations<br />
that doesn’t stop the<br />
process. There are other steps that<br />
the person that has filed this can do<br />
or a process they can go through.”<br />
Council made a motion for the<br />
Reeve and CAO to write a response<br />

Read the Report the RM of<br />
Lumsden refused to release<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary 28, 2022<br />
On <strong>Jan</strong>uary 12, the RM of Lumsden held a<br />
“Courtesy Stakeholder Engagement Session”<br />
with landowners to hear feedback regarding<br />
the Service Road Concept Plan from impacted<br />
landowners.<br />
The RM refused <strong>LMT</strong> access to what they initially called a “public<br />
engagement session.” CAO Monica Merkosky said there would be a<br />
public hearing in the future when the plan is finalized and ready to be<br />
adopted into the RM’s Official Community Plan. The RM also refused<br />
to release the report to <strong>LMT</strong>.<br />
CAO Merkosky said once “all comments have been gathered from<br />
the stakeholders, a “What We Heard” document will be prepared,<br />
summarizing the discussion and making recommendations to Council.<br />
Once the final recommendations are accepted by Council, they<br />
will be incorporated into the study. Once the study is finalized, there<br />

Courtney Huber, Returning Officer<br />
continues from page 1<br />
and bring it before Council at the next meeting.<br />
In October 2021, this reporter interviewed the<br />
Privacy Commissioner, Ron Kruziniski. I asked<br />
him about public bodies under his jurisdiction<br />
that don’t comply with his recommendations.<br />
He said when that happens, the person who has<br />
asked for the review can take that body to court.<br />
There are risks with it, though. He said that hiring<br />
a lawyer to go through the process can cost<br />
15-20k, which can take months, and there is also<br />
the added risk that if a person loses, the judge<br />
could apply the other party’s court costs on top<br />
of it.<br />
Because of this, Kruziniski said he had asked<br />
the Government of Saskatchewan for the authority<br />
to make orders, which other commissioners<br />
in Canada have the power to do. Kruziniski said<br />
that even with the authority to make orders, a<br />
public body such as a rural municipality would<br />
still be able to appeal to the court.<br />
“Various commissioners across the country<br />
now do have order making power and it’s hoped<br />
that having that power would sort of speed up the<br />
system and prevent citizens from having to spend<br />
15 or 20 thousand dollars to get their order.”<br />
Kruziniski said.<br />
Kruziniski said that the current legislation, the<br />
Freedom of Information Act and the Local Authority’s<br />
Freedom of Information Act, is outdated<br />
and needs revisions. Any changes to the Act,<br />
including the authority to make orders, would<br />
need to come in the form of an amendment to the<br />
Act undertaken by the government.<br />
The RM has until February 17 to respond to the<br />
OIPC’s recommendations. They will be bringing<br />
the response for council approval to the next<br />
council meeting.<br />

Criticism Over Water Breaks<br />
in Regina Beach<br />
It has been a reality for everyone lately - extreme<br />
cold temperatures here in Saskatchewan.<br />
When a polar vortex crept into the province,<br />
starting before Christmas, it brought with it more<br />
than just discomfort when spending time outdoors.<br />
For many residents of Regina Beach, the<br />
extreme cold also meant being forced to live with<br />
worry and hardship. There have been several water<br />
line breaks in Regina Beach these past weeks<br />
due to the cold. For some, it’s meant having to<br />
live without water, sometimes for days.<br />
That factor prompted resident, Jeremy Phoenix,<br />
to launch an official complaint to Regina Beach<br />
Town Council at its regular meeting on <strong>Jan</strong>uary<br />
25th. “What’s been up with the water system,”<br />
he asked Council members, “the last time the<br />
water went off, it was shut off for five days. It was<br />
devastating.” Other than voicing his annoyance,<br />
Phoenix wanted to know why there isn’t a pro-active<br />
protocol, which would warn residents that<br />
the water would be shut off before it happens.<br />
“Notification is needed. It would have allowed us<br />
to do things like fill up water bottles, buckets and<br />
the bathtub, so we weren’t caught off guard.”<br />
Phoenix told Council that it is not clear to the<br />
public where they can turn for help when problems<br />
like a water main break occur. He says he<br />
first went to the Town website and was directed<br />
to a hotline. After repeated attempts, he says<br />
he was finally able to speak to a person but was<br />
given answers that didn’t answer any of his concerns.<br />
His complaint prompted Councillor Jared<br />
Rommens to agree that the extreme cold has<br />
caused a tense time for residents. “Our staff has<br />
acted professionally and I don’t think anyone<br />
acted inappropriately.”<br />
Rommens recommended that the Town re-examine<br />
how it communicates with residents so<br />
that those affected by something like a water<br />
break will be actively alerted as soon as possible.<br />
That updated information will be sent out to the<br />
public shortly, with the aim of ensuring no one is<br />
caught off guard in the future.<br />
Other discussions centred around how to<br />
administrate dog licensing better. Council decided<br />
to have a one-time license number <strong>issue</strong>d.<br />
That lifetime tag will renew each year once the<br />
five-dollar fee is paid, rather than issuing a new<br />
tag each year. That amendment to the Animal<br />
Control Bylaw was passed.<br />
The Council also took care of regular housekeeping,<br />
such as making plans to attend the annual<br />
Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association<br />
annual meeting held in Regina in March.<br />
As it is the beginning of a new year, Council<br />
affirmed the names of individuals who will sit<br />
on various committees over the coming months.<br />
Committees like Regina Beach Parks & Rec,<br />
Centre Street Beautification, Primary Health and<br />
the Joint Use Committee, among others. That<br />
discussion prompted Councillor Sandi Metz to<br />
add further comments,<br />
“We have to thank the community members<br />
who have stepped up to sit on these committees.<br />
We rely on volunteers and their involvement is<br />
much appreciated.”<br />
Due to Omicron, Council meetings will continue<br />
to be online for those members of the public<br />
who wish to take part. The next regular meeting<br />
happens in mid-February.<br />

will be a much broader Public Hearing where anyone can attend.”<br />
<strong>LMT</strong> asked the RM to provide a copy of the report MPE had submitted to<br />
Council. Merkosky responded, “the Feasibility Study has not been publicly<br />
released, as it has not been adopted by Council. Tomorrow the study will be<br />
shared with stakeholders so that we can receive feedback before it is finalized<br />
and adopted.”<br />
Merkosky continued, “The Study has not been released prior to the meeting<br />
to allow the RM to present the findings and recommendations of the study in<br />
the appropriate context. It is important to the RM that all stakeholders hear the<br />
same information and discussion, and that individuals are not making their own<br />
assumptions about the study. The full study will form part of the information<br />
package presented to stakeholders at the meeting. It is anticipated that any advance<br />
questions from stakeholders are directed to their Division Councillor for<br />
consideration and discussion at the meeting. Following the meeting, there will<br />
be an additional period of time to allow the stakeholders to digest the information<br />
received and submit comments and recommendations for the RM’s consideration.”<br />
<strong>LMT</strong> responded to the RM’s refusal to release the document saying that under<br />
the Municipalities’ Act, there is a provision for the inspection of Municipal Documents.<br />
This provision gives anyone the ability to inspect records upon request.<br />
Section 117 c includes any report of any consultant engaged by or of any employee<br />
of the municipality, or of any committee or other body established by a<br />
council, after the report has been submitted to the council.<br />
MPE submitted the study to the RM council. The language does not say that it<br />
needs to be adopted. It says submitted. The RM did not respond to this subsequent<br />
request.<br />

A Big Option Package For A Little Pickup<br />
Odd option packages<br />
on trucks are one of my<br />
favourite things.<br />
The Macho Power Wagon, Warlock,<br />
Little Red Express, Jean Machine<br />
and Palomino were all great looks<br />
in the 1970s. I once saw a Chevy Luv<br />
Mikado limping through the Safeway<br />
parking lot in Idaho. It was so rusty<br />
that you could see the window regulators<br />
through the door skins, so I don’t<br />
think there’s any chance that it could<br />
be a clone. Even my old C10 had the<br />
Highlander package, featuring tacky<br />
wood grain lower exterior trim and an<br />
even tackier White and orange plaid<br />
interior with heavy scrollwork vinyl.<br />
Less than a year ago, I spotted an old<br />
The option package is cool, and the truck is pretty wellequipped,<br />
but my favourite part is the stripe package. Right off a<br />
monster or Baja truck back in the day.<br />
Bronco with the sundown stripe package, so wild that I think it could be spotted from space. A lot of<br />
these packages were simply appearance add-ons, without a lot of performance gain. This little Toyota,<br />
though. It could walk the walk and talk the talk.<br />
At one point, a Toyota 4x4 was a pretty cool unit for someone to have fun with. I’m almost too<br />
young to remember that, but it was a decent fad. I never got into it, as GM had their own rusty little<br />
pickup that I found easier to understand, although I will be the first to admit that it is inferior in<br />
many ways. The Toyota was affordable, had a decent aftermarket, and was small enough for the beach<br />
or the city. In 1978, Toyota offered a package on their SR-5 pickup that they called “Wolverine,” a<br />
package so complete that you couldn’t just go into any dealership and order one, as Toyota only sold<br />
them to specific dealers. As is the case almost all of the time, special order means a special (expensive)<br />
price. With the everyday low sticker price of a little over five grand for a<br />
CAMSHAFT brand new 1978 Toyota pickup, the Wolverine package tacked on just shy of an<br />
additional four grand, nearly doubling it. Specialized Automotive Engineering of<br />
CORNER<br />
Van Nuys, California and Conversions Unlimited of Sunnyvale, California did every<br />
Wolverine upgrade before they were shipped out to dealers in the west, while<br />
KELLY KIRK<br />
Tolsdorf Industries of Putman, Connecticut handled the dealers in the east. On<br />
the exterior, there was a special California step side bed, tubular rear bumper,<br />
front grill guard, stripes, and decals. Most I’ve seen also have a roll bar and some<br />
sort of arrangement of KC lights, either up top or out front, though that was likely<br />
dealer-installed. Underneath is where the real magic is, with SAE locking front<br />
hubs, semi-elliptical front springs, and a Spicer 30 front axle. Under the hood<br />
was your typical 2.2L four-cylinder engine with a special aluminum oil pan, and<br />
it was backed by a five-speed manual and Dana 20 two-speed transfer case. The<br />
steering box was relocated to a point ahead of the front axle, and everything was<br />
buttoned up underneath with custom skid plates. Overall, a lot of modifications, but a lot of additional<br />
expense, hence why they’re so uncommon. Nowadays, we have trucks like the Ford Raptor, a truck<br />
that I literally just saw today. It looked great sitting there in red, with those black-spattered graphics<br />
that are fairly common. I turned my head, but not as hard as I would have if were an older, tackier<br />
4x4 like this.<br />

Jessica Russell, Planner<br />
Danielle Carlson, Former Presidents of the Legion - Chris Valgardson & Terry Cobbler, Randy Loustel & Jarrett<br />
Wright.<br />
Owners of Regina Beach’s 54 Liquor Store Danielle<br />
Carlson, Jarrett Wright and Randy Loustel<br />
wanted to do more to support the local legion. In<br />
addition to poppy sales, they decided to donate<br />
10% of their net sales on November 11.<br />
Danielle said that even though it was the first<br />
storm of the year, the blizzardy conditions didn’t<br />
keep customers away. They came in to support<br />
the donation efforts. “People were still coming,<br />
and they were still very happy to support the<br />
legion with sales.” On December 12, they presented<br />
a cheque for $250.77 to the Royal Canadian<br />
Legion Branch 234 Poppy Fund.<br />
Chris Valgardson is the current Past President<br />
of the 234 Branch. He said the donation from 54<br />
Liquor was “Just Great!” Donations to the Poppy<br />
Fund are used specifically for veterans. “A veteran<br />
is a veteran is a veteran,” Valgardson said.<br />
The Fund provides help to veterans through<br />
financial assistance, mobility aids, and service<br />
dogs. Valgardson says this past year, and their<br />
branch took in over $5,000. “All of these little<br />
things make a difference because you can make a<br />
difference in a veteran’s life.”<br />
Past assistance of local veterans provided<br />
services such as snow removal and cleaning eaves<br />
troughs to support ageing veterans who remain<br />
in their homes.<br />
10% of what the local branch brings in for the<br />
Poppy Fund goes towards Provincial Legion,<br />
then 10% of what the Provincial Command takes<br />
in goes to National Command for larger-scale<br />
projects.<br />
54 Liquor owner Danielle Carlson says she<br />
comes from a military family and understands<br />
the importance of supporting veterans. They<br />
plan to donate on an annual basis and hope that<br />
others will do the same in any way they can.<br />

Direct human consumption<br />
New canola markets, or expansions<br />
of existing ones, are obviously<br />
a positive for many Canadian Prairie<br />
producers.<br />
Every time the market grows for<br />
canola, regardless of its end purpose,<br />
it means demand should be stronger,<br />
and that should help bolster prices, or<br />
at least help maintain them. So when<br />
recently announced plans to build an<br />
estimated $2-billion renewable diesel<br />
fuel and canola-crushing plant in Regina<br />
in partnership with AGT Foods, it<br />
was huge news for the canola sector.<br />
In this case, the<br />
AG NOTES<br />
CALVIN DANIELS<br />
crushing facility<br />
appears to have<br />
the oil extracted<br />
targeted at the biofuel<br />
sector, which<br />
would broaden<br />
the market, and<br />
might even allow<br />
an opportunity<br />
to better market<br />
lower grade canola<br />
where the oil is not<br />
destined for human consumption. Of<br />
course, the idea of fuels from grains<br />
and oilseeds is hardly a new one. An<br />
integrated facility at Lanigan was<br />
built years ago to extract ethanol<br />
from cereal grains to be used as a fuel<br />
additive, the resulting grain mash fed<br />
to cattle in an associated feedlot. The<br />
facility was built prior to the idea of<br />
biofuels really catching on, and there<br />
was a time government was proactive<br />
in looking to mandate biofuel in fuels<br />
and to offer subsidies to ensure biofuel<br />
such as ethanol was available for that<br />
purpose. But, when grain prices jump,<br />
the use of the grain for ethanol has<br />
simply never proved financially viable.<br />
There, however, remains a realization<br />
that non-renewable energy<br />
sources such as oil and coal are finite<br />
in supply and ultimately not good for<br />
our atmosphere and, longer-term, the<br />
climate of the planet. Although I am<br />
sure among readers, there will be a<br />
number in vehement opposition to that<br />
suggestion.<br />
Good science has its concerns.<br />
Consumers, at least a number of them,<br />
are adding their voices to that concern,<br />
and government and businesses appear<br />
to be reacting with moves toward<br />
greener and renewable energy sources,<br />
so biofuels seem to be swinging back<br />
into vogue.<br />
The question of how high canola<br />
prices, for example, can go before<br />
turning it into fuel makes no sense<br />
remains unclear. The fuel price at the<br />
pumps today is higher than a decade<br />
ago, so one would expect the fuel sector<br />
to pay more today than in the past.<br />
A more basic question should be<br />
asked too – how many acres can be<br />
dedicated to producing grains and oilseeds<br />
just for fuel? There are already<br />
those who question grain production<br />
for livestock feed, reasoning that the<br />
land could produce crops for direct<br />
human consumption and that adding<br />
meat is not required. As farmland is finite,<br />
actually diminishing in areas due<br />
to salinity, erosion and urban sprawl,<br />
there will be added pressure to feed an<br />
ever-growing world population.<br />
What gets grown and for what<br />
purpose are going to be increasingly<br />
difficult questions to answer.<br />

Four Locals Selected as Top<br />
Players in U15 Hockey<br />
As sports games and tournaments are being<br />
postponed or cancelled in other provinces, four<br />
young hopefuls from the area will be taking to<br />
the ice in Balgonie SK for an important tournament.<br />
The Hockey Sask. Sask. First Male U15 top 80<br />
tournament will be taking place from February<br />
18th until the 20th.<br />
The Sask. First program has been taking place<br />
since 1988 and features the best of the province<br />
each year.<br />
Four boys from the area will be attending as a<br />
part of the top 80 in Saskatchewan.<br />
Brady Holtvogt, Kayd Ruedig, Jasc Mcnichol,<br />
and Ty Dauvin, will be playing for their chance to<br />
move into the summer camp as well as represent<br />
Saskatchewan at the Winter Games in December<br />
2022.<br />
The four boys have been playing for approximately<br />
eight years each and growing up at the<br />
rink has been their life.<br />
The opportunity started in December of 2021<br />
with regional camps allowing all players in the<br />
U15 category to come out and play. From there<br />
the numbers would start shrinking down. First<br />
to the top 160 players and then to 80 followed<br />
by the best of best being selected for the summer<br />
camps. The players that are selected have a<br />
great opportunity to play and compete against<br />
their peers in the province but to also be seen by<br />
scouts across elite leagues.<br />
When asked what the opportunity meant for<br />
them, the boys each had a great sense of pride<br />
and excitement towards the event. Holtvogt said,<br />
“For me, it gives me an opportunity to show<br />
everybody what I can do and what I might be able<br />
to do in the future.”<br />
Not only is it a great opportunity for them to<br />
showcase their own skills it allows them to build<br />
confidence. Ruedig explained how it helps his<br />
self-confidence, “For me, it just shows to myself<br />
Ty Dauvin, Kayd Ruedig, Jasc Mcnichol, and Brady<br />
Holtvogt look forward to next month’s Sask Top 80<br />
games.<br />
how I can do (it) and what I can do and I just<br />
have to keep going.” The same could be said for<br />
McNichol, “It means a bunch of confidence that<br />
I am in the top 80 of Saskatchewan.” Dauvin<br />
also added, “For me, it was just a big opportunity<br />
good experience to be in.”<br />
The four boys have been playing together in<br />
Humboldt for many years and continue to bond<br />
on and off the ice.<br />
“It’s good to hang out with the boys and have<br />
fun on the ice and get stuff done out there,” stated<br />
Mcnichol.<br />
Of course, the boys had nothing but thanks to<br />
all their mentors, coaches, and parents for all the<br />
help. Holvogt said, “thanks to our parents and<br />
coaches for pushing us through this covid year<br />
last year and right now.”<br />
The results from the February games will be<br />
available online at Discover Humbolt as well as<br />
the details on if the boys move into the summer<br />
camps.<br />
