Bunkhouse, Boat launch,
Bylaws
The meeting bounced around the agenda and
was the Council’s longest to date, starting at
8:30 am and ending just before 7 pm.
JENNIFER ARGUE, Local
Journalism Initiative reporter
April 08, 2022
Council made a motion to follow
up on the environmental services
analysis report looking at water
quality in Findlater.
The Admin report
consisted of decision
items for Council.
• Municipal Administrators
Internship Program application
- 4 applications were received.
Council discussed in closed
session before making a motion
to Candace Zinn to be engaged
for a one-year internship at an
annual salary of $42,000.
• The Council made a motion to
offer the foreman position to a
candidate they discussed in the
closed session.
• The RM received only one quote
for gravel crushing which caused
the CAO concern as she expected
to see more. The Council
accepted the quote from Emshay
Enterprises.
• Zoning bylaw amendment for
bunkhouses - made a motion for
a maximum of 100 square feet,
single story.
• Lot consolidation request, which
is a holdover from Findlater. The
RM approved the request.

Council made a motion to
repeal Findlater’s bylaws passed
in three readings.
• The RM received approval for
the Targeted Sector Support
Study Grant grant, which will
look at emergency egress by
Buffalo Vista and North Grove.
Urban Systems will prepare a
service agreement.
• Buffalo Vista Shoreline Permit
Renewal - the Council, made a
motion to require the application
to be resubmitted following
the guidelines in the RM policy
for shoreline development.
Councillor Bob Bennett voted
against the motion. He disagreed
with the RM requiring
resubmission of the application
because the policy wasn’t in
place when the Council had

The Fish
in Schools
Program
The program begins in stages at Robert
Southey School.
The first stage involves the eyed eggs sitting in their brooding
pen, being washed over with nutrient-rich cold water. At this
point the students examine the eggs every day looking for
whitish spots or blemishes on the eggs, that could indicate dead or
diseased eggs. These eggs are then removed and discarded to keep the
other eggs healthy. The students also have to check the health of the
water, which is crucial for the eggs to hatch and survive. Chemical,
temperature and water clarity tests are done at regular intervals.
The second stage is the waiting game. Watching and checking each
day to see if any of the eyed eggs have hatched. Success!! Some of the
eggs are starting to hatch. The new hatchlings are called alevins and
they live in the gravel at the bottom of the tank. They feed off the remaining
yolk that is attached to their body for a minimum of fourteen

Government
policies
discourage older
Canadians from
continuing to work
VANCOUVER—If governments in Canada want to help seniors
who want to continue working, they should remove barriers
that discourage them from remaining in the workforce,
finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an
independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“...i’m still holding out for them
to amend ‘no, shirt, no shoes, no
service.’ archaic rules...”
Home Plan of the Week
Willowa suited for families of all ages
By Associated Designs
Graceful pairs of slender posts
highlight the Willowa’s open and
inviting front porch. Being all on
one level, this ranch-style plan is
easily adaptable for aging in place.
But the home is equally well-suited
to families with youngsters or teens.
Vaulted ceilings give an expansive
feel to the entry, the study to
the right of the entry, and the great
room/dining area at the rear. A
bench for shoe removal nestles
into a rectangular alcove
just inside the front
door, where sidelights
provide natural light.

The owners’ suite and a large

twin vanities. Cabinets and counters
line the utility room, which
also serves as a pass-through to the

“All Canadians, no matter their age, should
be free to make their own choices about
working without government limiting those
choices or essentially penalizing those who
want to work,” said Morley Gunderson, professor
emeritus of economics at the University
of Toronto and author of Barriers to the
Labour Force Participation of Older Workers
in Canada.
According to the study, the ratio of seniors
to the working age population in Canada will
double from 20.3 per cent in 2010 to 38.4 per
cent in 2040—yet another indicator of Canada’s
aging population. Currently, if seniors
want to continue working after age 65, they
experience the following consequences.
Reduction in government benefits: Typically,
seniors who continue to work after age
65 will incur “clawbacks” (essentially, benefit
reductions) for the Canada Pension Plan, Old
Age Security and the Guaranteed Income
Supplement.
Higher effective tax rates: Working Canadians
age 65 and older who earn approximately
$39,000 or more (2021) will essentially incur
a clawback rate of 15 per cent on their income

due to a federal tax credit.
Mandatory withdrawals of RRSPs: When a
person turns 71, their RRSPs must be converted
into a Registered Retirement Income
Fund (RRIF) or annuity, and they must begin
withdrawing benefits. If the person continues
to work—while receiving these benefits—they
may move into a higher tax bracket.
Reduction of government pension benefits:
Some government pension programs are
based on income, with clawback rates that
reduce benefits if recipients earn income from
working.
“In Canada, the rules around employment
and retirement seem antiquated and detached
from the changing nature of work and the desire
of many Canadians to continue working
into their golden years,” Gunderson said.
“These barriers to working not only hurt
the economy but can also hinder the ability of
seniors to stay active and healthy.”

Economics, University of Toronto
Inflation in Canada—the
causes, consequences
and beneficiaries
VANCOUVER—The Bank of Canada this week raised its interest
rate to combat inflation, which has reached levels not seen in
decades
and yet the causes, consequences—and crucially, the beneficiaries—of inflation remain largely
unknown to many Canadians, argues a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an
independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“It’s hard to overstate the economic effects of today’s higher inflation on Canadians across
the country, but because inflation has been relatively low and stable for more than 30 years,
most Canadians don’t understand the basics of the issue,” said Steven Globerman, professor
emeritus at Western Washington University, resident scholar at the Fraser Institute and author
of A Primer on Inflation.

Accolades for
Leafs’ Matthews
well deserved
Some Western Canadians tend to disparage Maple Leafs
superstar Auston Matthews, taking exception to the Tiger-like
hype he receives from the national talking heads at Torontobased
networks, but that disparagement should end. The guy’s
a beast.
Matthews has a
solid grip on the
National Hockey
League’s Rocket Richard trophy,
which goes to the player
scoring the most goals. Matthews
had 58 goals in the
Leafs’ first 72 games, a pace
that would bring him close
to 70 season’s end. Seventy-goal
seasons lie ahead.
Give him the RR trophy,
and give him the respect he
deserves.
Just like in Edmonton,
where the offensive duo of
Connor McDavid and Leon
Draisailtl carry the bulk
of the offensive load for
the Oilers, the Leafs have
a two-headed offensive
monster, too. Matthews and
linemate Mitch Marner, both of whom have
been solidly entrenched among the NHL’s
top 10 scorers this season, guide the Leafs’
fortunes.
Unfortunately, neither of the two
high-scoring duos seems to have the required
support to rally their teams to long
playoff runs. Both the Leafs and Oilers have
relatively weaker secondary scoring groups,
which makes it easier for opponents to key
on the two superstars. Tight checking is a
playoff staple, and Matthews will have to be
inventive to find some open ice to take the
Leafs on an extended playoff run.
But overall, his play in 2021-22 has been
sublime. He was the first NHLer to hit the
50-goal mark. He scores with a big shot,
deft, in-close stickhandling, great stickwork
for tip-ins, or just bulling his 6-foot-3,
205-pound body into the crease after loose
pucks. He now owns the Leafs’ franchise
record for most goals in one season. and is
only the third Leaf to surpass 100 points in
a season.
Matthews’ value to the Leafs has been
recognized by pundits who discuss Hart
Trophy (most valuable player) candidates. He
regularly logs between 21 and 25 minutes of
ice time and when he’s not scoring, he’s dishing
the puck to Marner, or Michael Bunting,
or William Nylander, or back to the point to
Morgan Rielly, as his wholesome assist total
would attest.
Matthews, who grew up in Arizona and
may go down as the greatest American-born
player in NHL history, is only 24, and already
has impressive career totals. He made
a huge splash in his first NHL game, scoring
a hat trick in 2016-17’s season opener. Since
then, he has had goal-scoring seasons of
40, 34, 37, 47, 41 and whatever total he hits
this year, perhaps mid- to high-60s. While
McDavid’s overall speed and skill puts him
on a pedestal above all other NHLers, there’s
nothing wrong with owning the title as the
game’s best goal-scorer.
And the Leafs are lucky to have that guy in
their lineup night after night.
• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com:
“There are relationships that don’t last as
long as the last two minutes of a close college
basketball game.”
• Tim Hunter of KRKO Radio in Everett,
Wash, on why he’s hoping the
Seahawks trade for Baker Mayfield:
“I mean, we’d be getting a quarterback
AND someone to take care of
the stadium. What a deal!”
• ESPN’s Bill Walton, to The Oregonian,
on positive influences in his
life: “My wife, Lori, is always right,
30-plus years of marriage. She’s
always right. Like John Wooden.
He was right. I just didn’t know it.”
• Jason Lloyd of The Athletic, on
quarterback Deshaun Watson,
facing a number of civil suits over
alleged sexual transgressions, being traded
to Cleveland: “Watson comes with more
baggage than Delta Air Lines.”
• Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel,
on Twitter: “Pretty pathetic that #Lakers
coach Frank Vogel had to find out he was
being fired on Twitter rather than hearing it
first from the team’s president of basketball
operations LeBron James.”
• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “NBA playoffs
with no LeBron. Is that even legal?”
• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Scottie
Scheffler won the Masters and was awarded
the Masters green jacket, arguably the
ugliest garment in sports. In fact, the only
green sports apparel that is uglier has the
name New York Jets on it.”
• Headline at fark.com, after Raiders’ QB
Derek Carr signed a contract extension:
“Carr gets extended warranty.”
• Another one from fark.com: “Lakers GM
Rob Pelinka explains what qualities he’s
looking for in a new head coach. First quality
is whoever LeBron says is coach.”
• Patti Dawn Swansson, on Twitter, after an
animal-rights activist tried to glue herself
to the floor during an NBA play-in game in
Minneapolis: “So, for those of you who’ve
been wondering all these years, now you
know why they call it Crazy Glue.”
• Amateur golfer Lewis Fraser, on Twitter:
“The good news: I putted like Scottie Scheffler
today The bad news: it was like him on
the 72nd hole at Augusta National.”

CALVIN DANIELS
If not now, then
in the future
BY CALVIN DANIELS
Every once in a while, there comes along what might be
termed ‘game-changers’ across various industries.
For example, the first step toward
zero-till farming began with
a fundamental change in how
farmers farmed. A report at www.
producer.com notes “a field trial of
genetically modified and gene-edited
barley is due to be planted this April.
The research is evaluating whether improved
crop interactions with naturally
occurring soil fungi promote more sustainable
food production and reduce the
need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizer.”
U.K. scientists hope the result will be
cereal crops that are able to pull more
nitrogen and phosphorus from the soil.
The idea of producing a cereal grain
plant capable of fixing nitrogen from
the soil – much as legume crops do – is
not a new idea, but so far, nothing has
come to the market for producers.
Certainly, part of the drag on research
in the area is the concern from some
quarters that genetic modification of
plants is a dangerous path for research
to take. But, if one looks at canola,
which is now the primary crop on the
Canadian Prairies, demand seems to
be exploding. An ever-expanding crush
sector with several new builds announced
is primarily GM varieties. In
the case of canola, many of the varieties
are tied to being able to use specific
crop protection products to combat incrop
weeds.
The tech being worked on with
barley by U.K. scientists is actually a
far more farmer-friendly one since it
would, in theory, reduce the reliance on
purchased fertilizer. That would be a
massive development for a lower-valued
crop such as barley.
Suppose you could reduce the cost of
fertilizer. In that case, you could even
up with a better bottom line for a crop
that is already generally lower cost to
produce with a bit more versatility in
marketing, with the feed market always
a fall-back position if a crop is off grade.
If the U.K. trials are successful, it
could transfer the basic tech to other
cereal crops like wheat and oats.
On the Prairies, anything that could
enhance oat production should be of interest,
given production plants here, but
they might also be an industry resistant
to such tech. The oat sector has become
much more careful regarding glyphosate
than most. Hence, they may have a
lower tolerance for anything they see as
something their customer base would
react negatively.
Still, the technology needs to be explored.
The potential of nitrogen-fixing
cereals is too great not to be developed.
If not now, then in the future, when
farmers, trying to feed a hungry world,
will need all the help they can get.

Walters
Announces
Petition to Force
Plebiscite on
COVID Inquiry
REGINA, SK – Saskatchewan Liberal leader Jeff Walters
today announced a petition to force a province-wide
plebiscite on the issue of creating an independent inquiry
into the Moe Government’s handling of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Village of Bethune
PUBLIC NOTICE
Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Village of
Bethune intends to adopt Bylaw No. 01-2022 under The Planning
and Development Act, 2007, to amend Bylaw 2/90, known as the
Zoning Bylaw.
The following changes to the Zoning Bylaw are proposed:
Textual Amendments and Zoning District Map Amendment
INTENT
The proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment will:
• define day care facilities;
• provide development standards for day care facilities;
• provide for day care facilities as a permitted use in the Commercial
Zoning District; and
• amend the Zoning Map to rezone Parcel A, Plan 101112039, Ext. 8,
surface parcel 111565830 from “R – Residential” to “C – Commercial”
as noted below in red bold outline.
“At this defining moment, we cannot wait any longer,” stated Walters. “It is within
our power, the power of the people of Saskatchewan, to petition our government to
hold a plebiscite. And, through a plebiscite we can create an independent inquiry. The
time is now.”
The provincial government under Premier Moe has some of the worst COVID
outcomes (deaths, infection rates, hospitalizations) per capita in the country. Yet, the
Premier has not just resisted being proactive, but has actively been underreporting,
or not reporting at all, important information that the people could use to make informed
decisions. Now the sixth wave has come and the Moe government intends to
keep doing little to fight it. This deserves an inquiry into how and why the Premier is
making the decisions he has been.
“We all know the Premier is not interested in conducting an independent review,”
said Walters. “He has stated as much. When leaders refuse to lead and the opposition
seems unable to hold them accountable, it is time to step up and use the legal, democratic
tools necessary to do what needs to be done. It is time. Join us at accountabilitysk.ca.”

INFLATION IN CANADA - CONTINUES FROM PAGE 2
Since 1991, the Bank of Canada kept the
annual rate of inflation at around 2 per
cent, but in February 2022, the inflation
rate hit 5.7 per cent and will likely continue
to climb. In an effort to combat higher
inflation, the Bank of Canada raised its
policy interest rate by 0.5 percentage
points on Wednesday.
Here are some common questions
about inflation.
What is inflation?
Simply put, inflation occurs when
the average price of goods and services
increases.
What triggers inflation?
There are many potential causes of today’s
higher inflation including the Bank
of Canada’s recent penchant for financing
government spending by printing more
money—when there’s more money in the
economy, but the same level of goods and
services, the price of those goods and
services increases.
Who suffers from inflation?
When average prices rise (food, gasoline,
etc.) Canadian families must pay
more or reduce their consumption. And
crucially, if inflation rises faster than
incomes, living standards decline.
Who benefits from inflation?
Governments benefit from inflation in
two main ways. First, because inflation
increases the price of goods and services,
the value of money effectively declines—
as does the value of debt. When the value
of debt declines, the cost of debt interest
payments also essentially declines.
Second, inflation tends to increase the
nominal value of assets such as real
estate, which increases the capital gains
tax liabilities of Canadians who sell those
assets, thereby pushing some Canadians
into higher tax brackets. Consequently,
government tax revenues will increase
even though the “real” incomes and
wealth of most Canadians may remain
constant or even decrease.
Why would the Bank of
Canada—or any central
bank—raise its interest rate to
combat inflation?
When the central bank raises its interest
rate, it affects other interest rates
in the economy (mortgage lending, for
example). Typically, higher interest rates
prompt more saving, less borrowing and
less spending. When spending on goods
and services declines, sellers of goods
and services (grocery stores, for example)
lower prices—or at least increase prices
more slowly—to encourage consumers to
buy. As such, the rate of inflation declines.
“Clearly, today’s inflation conditions
are much worse than many experts predicted
at the beginning of the pandemic
and the Bank of Canada believes it’s time
for a more aggressive monetary policy,”
Globerman said.
-STEVE GLOBERMAN, Resident
Scholar,Fraser Institute
PURPOSE
The proposed amendment will provide for the Council to consider
an application to establish a day care facility at the above noted
property, civically known as 690 Main Street. As the affected
property is currently zoned as “R-Residential”, the land is required
to be rezoned to “C-Commercial” to accommodate the proposed
development.
PUBLIC INSPECTION
Any person may inspect Bylaw No. 01-2022 at the office of
the Village of Bethune office located at 101 Railway Avenue in
Bethune during regular office hours. Copies of the bylaw will be
made available.
PUBLIC HEARING
The Council will hold a public hearing at the municipal office for the
Zoning Bylaw amendment on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at 7:00 pm.
The purpose of the public hearing is to hear any person or group that
wants to comment on the proposed Bylaw. The Council will also
consider written comments received at the hearing or delivered to
the undersigned at the municipal office before the hearing.

Resurrection Joy
“ 19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week…
Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with
you.” 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his
side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord” (John
20:19-20)
BY REV RAY PURDIE
MINISTERIAL MESSAGES
This is the Season of Easter, the time when Christians celebrate the Good News
of the empty tomb. In John’s retelling of the story, the disciples gathered in the upper
room had been told of the resurrection, but many still could not believe Jesus’ triumphal
defeat of death until they saw him for themselves. And when they do, when Jesus
comes to them showing the wounds of his hands and side, doubts are overcome
and then they rejoice.
Up to the point of Jesus’ crucifixion, it appeared that humans were controlling the
events of Holy Week. But now, in the resurrection, God’s purpose is finally revealed.
Jesus’ ministry on earth is ending, but if it is to realize the goal of a world made new,
it’s time for the torch to be passed into human hands.
The disciples, filled now with hope, receive the Holy Spirit and are assigned by
Jesus to take up his ministry of salvation. As he says: “as my Father sent me, so now
I send you.” (John 19:21)
But, they lived in a world where Roman oppression meant justice and peace were
unavailable to common folk, where racial hatred divided people and the weak exploited
by the rich and powerful. It is into this brutal environment of systemic oppression
that the disciples are sent to preach a gospel of hope, love, peace and grace. To any
rational person, it might have seemed to be an impossible task. And yet, moved as
witnesses to the risen Christ and strengthened by the gift of the Holy Spirit, the disciples
are quick to respond with enthusiasm, anxious to share the Good News.
“Resurrection Joy “means that every generation of the faithful has the same task of
following in Jesus’ steps in an effort to give love a chance.
The times in which we live are no different. Although our world has been going
through a tough period with the COVID pandemic, unending wars in the middle east
and now Ukraine producing a new refugee crisis, our hope for achieving peace, justice
and love can seem a bridge too far.
Yet, “Resurrection Joy” makes the faithful believers in the possibility of transformation.
And, looking carefully, we see signs of a new creation everywhere.
The pandemic is waning overcome by science and common-sense sacrifices by
people following public health mandates. The bravery and success of the Ukrainian
people in defending their country and democracy in the world is an inspiration suggesting
evil will not triumph. The world uniting behind efforts to deal effectively with
the refugee crises demonstrates compassion. And progress in our own nation toward
reconciliation with indigenous peoples based on truth-telling demonstrates that healing
is possible if we live to love.
So, in 2022, let’s take up the challenge of living “Resurrection Joy,” knowing that we
are not alone in the effort.

HORSEPOWER - CONTINUES FROM PAGE 11
If you’re tired of burning gas and diesel, it’s time to try water. Burning water is
every firefighter’s nightmare, but it was the dream of C.H. Garrett in the 1930s. In
every example I could find of someone trying to create a water-fuelled automobile,
an electrolytic device is used to separate the two-parts hydrogen from the oxygen
so that it can be burned. Sometimes it’s in the spark plugs, but I prefer the Garrett
method with an electrolytic carburetor. Using only a strong battery and generator,
all the power needed to separate the hydrogen, and the oxygen was onboard at
all times. Garrett patented his idea and even provided a demonstration to reporters.
Sadly, nothing ever came of it, but why? Doing a little more research, I came
across an article on rexresearch.com that gave a very detailed set of blueprints and
a great explanation of how it all worked. Underneath that, however, there was an
even more detailed explanation from a man named Norman Green, who dissected
the whole idea with some pretty solid evidence. It’s a long, involved read, but
to sum it up, the electrolytic tank would have to be larger than the vehicle it was
meant to propel, and it would require more horsepower than the engine could ever
produce to spin the generator. Was Garrett using some smoke and mirrors when
he did his demonstrations? Did Norman Green blind me with science or baffle me
with bull? If this took off, would big oil be replaced by big water? Could the government
find a way to tax the rain? Unfortunately, sometimes there’s only information,
not answers.
