Lumsden RBC set to close<br />
A sign in the window of the Lumsden Branch informing patrons that the Lumsden Branch<br />
will be closing on October <strong>20</strong>th and moving to the Northgate Centre Branch in Regina isn’t<br />
sitting well with some residents.<br />
JENNIFER ARGUE, Local<br />
Journalism Initiative reporter<br />
The closure came up at the Town of<br />
Lumsden meeting on Tuesday. CAO Monica<br />
Merkosky noted that RBC had sent out<br />
flyers regarding the closure and that there<br />
would be a virtual meeting on <strong>May</strong> 17th<br />
to provide the public with information. As<br />
a result, the town will be discussing their<br />
future banking needs during their Group 1<br />
committee meeting.<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Matheson said that he received<br />
an email asking what Council would do<br />
regarding the closure. “The Royal Bank<br />
has been planning this; It was a done deal<br />
before they came and talked to us. We<br />
expressed our concerns, but there is not a<br />
whole lot else we can do.”<br />
The <strong>May</strong>or said a resident on Main<br />
Street also approached him at the post office.<br />
The person spoke to Matheson, saying<br />
it was a “disaster” and the “council needed<br />
to do something.”<br />
A concerned citizen contacted <strong>LMT</strong>.<br />
They said they were worried about the<br />
impact of the closure on Seniors in the<br />
community. They also believed the branch<br />
to be busy, noting there was a lineup of<br />
four people when they were doing business<br />
recently, with another two people entering<br />
the branch when they left. They were<br />
concerned that RBC decided based on a<br />
decrease in business during the pandemic.<br />
<strong>LMT</strong> has reached out to RBC for comment.<br />

Raising an extra<br />
dollar<br />
VANCOUVER—For an additional ($1) dollar of personal<br />
income tax revenue collected by the federal government, $2.86<br />
is lost in economic activity because of less investment, less<br />
entrepreneurship, less spending and other behavioural changes<br />
that shrink the tax base, finds a new study released today by the<br />
Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public<br />
policy think-tank.<br />
Overheard at the coffee shop<br />
“Is a padded room for physical<br />
safety or noise cancellation?<br />
either way they shouldn’t use<br />
memory foam, sometimes it’s best<br />
to forget...”<br />
Home Plan of the Week<br />
The same is true for corporate taxes,<br />
with an additional ($1) dollar of<br />
corporate income tax raised by the<br />
federal government costing Canadians more<br />
than double that amount in lost economic<br />
activity ($2.<strong>02</strong>).<br />
“When governments raise tax rates, they<br />
affect the behaviour of workers, businesses,<br />
entrepreneurs, and investors. Specifically,<br />
higher tax rates distort the decisions related<br />
to starting a business, saving and investing,<br />
work effort, and expanding an existing<br />
business, all of which impose costs on the<br />
economy in the form of foregone prosperity.<br />
So when a government raises tax rates, the<br />
actual cost to the economy is much higher,”<br />
explained Bev Dahlby, senior fellow at the<br />
Fraser Institute and co-author of What Are<br />
the Economic Costs of Raising Revenue by<br />
the Canadian Federal Government?<br />
The study finds that since tax increases<br />
adversely affect the private sector’s decisions<br />
related to saving, labour supply, and<br />
investment, society loses more than what the<br />
government collects in actual tax revenue.<br />
In fact, for an additional dollar in personal<br />
income tax that the federal government collects,<br />
the actual cost to Canadians—because<br />
of those behavioural changes—is $2.86, and<br />
$2.<strong>02</strong> for an additional dollar in corporate<br />
income tax that’s collected.<br />
“When the federal government raises taxes,<br />
the cost to Canadians is not simply higher<br />
taxes, it means less investment, less entrepreneurship,<br />
and less business activity and<br />
ultimately a smaller tax base, which imposes<br />
unseen costs on Canadians,” Dahlby said.<br />
“Policymakers need to be aware of the true<br />
costs of raising taxes because this can inform<br />
cost-benefit analysis of government programs,<br />
tax reforms and designing federal transfers to<br />
the provinces.”<br />

To enter the foyer, you pass<br />
through a nostalgic covered porch.<br />
A display niche lines the foyer’s<br />
right side. Double doors on the<br />
facing wall open into a home office<br />
with built-in cabinets.<br />
Just past the double doors, the<br />
foyer angles off to the right, guiding<br />
your steps into a bright and spacious<br />
vaulted living room. Framed<br />
columns flank the wide opening.<br />
Tall windows, multipaned and triangular<br />
at their apex, flank the<br />
wide two-sided gas fireplace centered<br />
on the far wall. Its flames can<br />
also be enjoyed from outside, in the<br />
vaulted, partially covered patio.<br />
Standing at the kitchen sink,<br />
you can join conversations in the<br />
living room and serve quick meals<br />
at the raised eating bar, while<br />
keeping tabs on activities in the<br />
patio and nook. A deep walk-in<br />
pantry fills one corner.<br />
Right past the foyer, another angled<br />
wall clips a right-hand corner,<br />
easing movement into a long hallway<br />
that leads to the study and<br />
kitchen. Three bedrooms and a<br />
utility room are at the end.<br />
The Oakley’s luxurious owners’<br />
suite fills most of the left<br />
wing. Notable amenities include a<br />
large double closet, walk-in shower,<br />
twin lavs, and private toilet.<br />
The direct patio access comes in<br />
very handy if a hot tub is installed.<br />

240 james st n.<br />
lumsden, sk<br />
— Pitcher Roki Sasaki went almost two<br />
FROM THE complete games in the Japan Baseball<br />
SIDELINES League without allowing a baserunner.<br />
BRUCE PENTON He first made worldwide news by throwing<br />
a 19-strikeout perfect game on April<br />
10, and then, unbelievably, followed<br />
it up with eight perfect innings in his<br />
next start. What happened in the ninth<br />
inning of the second game? His manager<br />
removed him after eight, citing a growing<br />
pitch count and concern over fatigue.<br />
— That Japanese league manager may<br />
have taken a cue from Dodgers’ manager<br />
Dave Roberts, who pulled Clayton Kershaw April 13 after the<br />
ace left-hander threw seven perfect innings in his first start<br />
of the season. There have been only 23 perfect games in MLB<br />
history and the impressive part of this story is that Roberts<br />
had the courage to remove Kershaw with only six outs to go.<br />
— Sidney Crosby, no longer Sid the Kid, isn’t slowing down.<br />
He recently became only the third NHLer (behind Wayne<br />
Gretzky, of course) to average more than one point a game for<br />
17 consecutive seasons. At 17 straight, he’s tied with Gordie<br />
Howe. At age 34, there’s no reason to think Crosby won’t<br />
catch, or surpass, Gretzky, who holds the record with 19.<br />
— On Feb. 1, Scottie Scheffler had zero PGA Tour wins and<br />
was ranked 15th in the Official World Golf Rankings. Then he<br />
won tournaments at Phoenix, Bay Hill, the Match Play, and<br />
the Masters in a nine-week stretch and sits comfortably as<br />
No. 1 in the world. Four wins in a career is pretty good. Four<br />
in seven weeks is otherworldly.<br />
— Johnny Gaudreau of the Flames and Jonathan Huberdeau<br />
of Florida are trying to chase down Edmonton’s<br />
Connor McDavid for the NHL points’ title. Gaudreau has<br />
been more than impressive down the stretch, averaging two<br />
points a game over a 17-game stretch to pull to within a couple<br />
of points of the Oilers’ star. Huberdeau had 30 points over<br />
an 18-game period to add some drama to the scoring race.<br />

— Impressive is the current stat line, and<br />
projected stat picture, for Toronto’s Vladimir<br />
Guerrero, Jr., who highlighted the first week of<br />
MLB with a three-homer game in New York.<br />
With five home runs in his first 14 games, he<br />
was on pace for a 58-homer season. Given his<br />
talent, finishing around that number wouldn’t<br />
really be a surprise. A Vladdy at-bat have become<br />
must-see TV.<br />
• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “The new<br />
Grambling women’s volleyball coach cut the<br />
entire team. Upon hearing this, New York Jets<br />
coach Robert Saleh said, ‘Wait, you can do<br />
that?’”<br />
• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: MLB<br />
suspended Brewers catcher Pedro Severino<br />
after he tested positive for Clomiphene, a drug<br />
to treat infertility — in women. He’ll miss<br />
80 games, or well into the season’s second<br />
trimester.”<br />
• Monday Q Info, on Twitter, on the excessive<br />
green fee to play Harbour Town at Hilton<br />
Head: “The day I pay $350 to pay a golf<br />
course, please Chris Rock me.”<br />
• Patti Dawn Swansson, after former world<br />
heavyweight champ Mike Tyson punched a<br />
fellow airline traveller: “Apparently JetBlue<br />
immediately changed its slogan from ‘You’ll<br />
Want To Fly Again!’ to ‘Let’s Get Ready To<br />
Rumble!’”<br />
• Alex Kaseberg again: “Saw the season’s first<br />
USFL game and it was a pleasant surprise.<br />
USFL did not, like I thought it might, stand<br />
for Untalented Scrubs Failing Laughably.”<br />
• Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel: “One<br />
animal rights activist glued her hand to<br />
the floor and another chained herself to<br />
the basket stanchion to protest Minnesota<br />
Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, who owns<br />
a chicken processing plant. I guess you could<br />
say the protesters identified Taylor as a flagrant<br />
fowler.”<br />
• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Jazz forward<br />
Rudy Gobert, 7 foot 1, once claimed his biggest<br />
problem is hitting his head on things. I’m<br />
guessing it was said bashfully.”<br />
• Headline at fark.com: “Junior college pitcher<br />
who tackled opposing player for hitting home<br />
run receives four-game suspension, invitation<br />
to walk on the football team.”<br />
• Another one from Dwight Perry: “The A’s<br />
drew crowds of 3,748 and 2,703 — their worst<br />
two gates since 1980 — last week in back-toback<br />
games. Team publicists, not missing a<br />
beat, retroactively proclaimed them Social<br />
Distancing Nights.”<br />
• Mike Bianchi again, on only five NBA players<br />
appearing in all 82 of their team’s games this<br />
season: “In the NBA, they call it ‘load management.’<br />
In other jobs, it’s called ‘not showing<br />
up for work.’ ”<br />
• • Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera, on nearly<br />
reaching 3,000 hits against the Yankees: “A<br />
scout from the Yankees told me, ‘If you make<br />
it, it’s going to be as a pitcher.’ He got fired.”<br />

Perhaps that is why Earth Day came and went last Friday<br />
with rather little fanfare, especially so locally, where it was a<br />
rather subdued affair at best.<br />
That is rather unfortunate when one pauses for just a second<br />
to ponder that this ball of mud and increasingly polluted water<br />
is all we have, and if we as a species happen to destroy it, we as<br />
a species disappear too.<br />
For those completely unfamiliar, Earth Day is an annual<br />
event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental<br />
protection, first held on April 22, 1970.<br />
Of course, how threatened our planet is in terms of damage<br />
to the environment is the stuff which keeps social media firing<br />
these days. Some see it as a grand hoax perpetrated by ‘the media’<br />
for some unknowable reason, on the other end of the debate, those who see the end<br />
of the world already etched into our collective future. In the middle, somewhere, is<br />
the actual situation we face as a plant.<br />
There are some rather obvious <strong>issue</strong>s we are facing. The question is, are we doing<br />
enough – or anything at all – to address those <strong>issue</strong>s? For example, the world<br />
population continues to grow, with<br />

little to suggest that upwards trend will<br />
slow. When is the tipping point where<br />
there are too many people for current<br />
resources – in particular food, and how<br />
to we slow the trend? For farmers, this<br />
is a rather crucial question as they will<br />
be looked to grow the food.<br />
And likely with fewer acres as growing<br />
populations mean urban spread, turning<br />
farmland into asphalt roads, housing<br />
developments and big-box stores.<br />
A growing population also creates<br />
ever-larger mounds of garbage, which in<br />
itself is a massive environmental <strong>issue</strong>.<br />
A solution has been to look at the vast<br />
oceans as little more than a garbage<br />
dump, hoping mountains of non-biodegradable<br />
waste are somehow not a<br />
problem underwater.<br />
Of course, if that garbage happens to<br />
ultimately kill off tuna, lobster and other<br />
seafood sources, where do we replace<br />
the food lost? The answer would be back<br />
on farmers already facing <strong>issue</strong>s.<br />
How will farmers operate as the<br />
society has growing concerns with<br />
farm chemicals and fertilizer? How<br />
do farmers balance being viable and<br />
dealing with carbon release <strong>issue</strong>s in<br />
their operations? If we don’t control our<br />
emissions, what effects will that have<br />
on climate and, again, the ability to<br />
produce food?<br />
With all the <strong>issue</strong>s, perhaps Earth Day<br />
needs more focus moving forward as an<br />
annual day to focus efforts for change.<br />

SaskEnergy wins<br />
three national awards<br />
for environmental<br />
innovation<br />
SaskEnergy’s commitment to innovation and the<br />
environment has been recognized by the Canadian Gas<br />
Association (CGA), the voice of Canada’s natural gas<br />
delivery industry.<br />
SaskEnergy won three Environmental<br />
Stewardship Awards at the<br />
CGA’s inaugural Energy Nexus<br />
event in Vancouver, a forum on the<br />
growing role of gaseous energy,<br />
such as natural gas, in Canada.<br />
Two of the awards were for innovations<br />
by SaskEnergy in reducing<br />
emissions and the third recognized<br />
superior performance in<br />
SaskEnergy’s operating practices.<br />
“I am thrilled that SaskEnergy’s<br />
commitment to innovative,<br />
environmentally sustainable<br />
operating practices and to reducing<br />
emissions through innovation<br />
has garnered national recognition<br />
from the CGA,” SaskEnergy’s<br />
Acting President and CEO Mark<br />
Guillet said. “These three awards<br />
are a testament to the hard work<br />
of all SaskEnergy employees as we<br />
strive to contribute to a greener<br />
Saskatchewan and meet our goal<br />
of reducing emissions from company<br />
operations by 35 per cent by<br />
<strong>20</strong>30.”<br />
In the CGA’s operating practices<br />
award category, SaskEnergy was<br />
honoured for its environmental<br />
screening tool, a web-based geographic<br />
information system that<br />
allows operational and engineering<br />
teams throughout the company<br />
to screen new gas line projects for<br />
any environmental, heritage and<br />
geohazard impacts.<br />
In the innovations in emissions<br />
reduction award category, SaskEnergy<br />
won for implementing new<br />
technology that captures vented<br />
natural gas from the company’s<br />
transmission compressors, redirecting<br />
it into the engine air intake<br />
for use as a supplemental fuel.<br />
SaskEnergy won its third<br />
award, also in the innovations in<br />
emissions reduction category, for<br />
enhancing its customer efficiency<br />
programming, which provides<br />
rebates to customers who replace old<br />
natural gas equipment with qualified<br />
high-efficiency models.<br />
“As the largest energy distributor<br />
in the province, SaskEnergy plays a<br />
pivotal role in reducing greenhouse gas<br />
emissions while providing critical energy<br />
to Saskatchewan residents, businesses<br />
and industry,” Guillet said. “Moving<br />
forward, we will continue to help our<br />
customers become more efficient in<br />
their use of natural gas, while focusing<br />
on innovation and sound environmental<br />
practices to reduce emissions from<br />
our own operations.”<br />

OBITUARY<br />
VIOLET OLIVIA<br />
HEMINGWAY<br />
June, 1919 - April 2<strong>02</strong>2<br />
Violet Hemingway was<br />
born June 21, 1919 to parents<br />
Tom and Jane Moore.<br />
She passed away on April<br />
19, 2<strong>02</strong>2 at the Nokomis<br />
Health Centre.<br />
Raised in Last Mountain<br />
District near Duval, SK she<br />
had many good memories<br />
of summer picnics, ball<br />
games, Christmas concerts,<br />
local dances and family<br />
gatherings while growing<br />
up. She attended Regina<br />
Normal School and after<br />
graduation taught at Vassar School near Moose Jaw and<br />
at Saline School near Nokomis. It was here that she met<br />
Fred Hemingway and was married on February 4, 1942.<br />
They lived in the Saline Creek area for one year, moving<br />
to the Semans area for three years and then to a farm<br />
in the Richfarms area near Nokomis where they raised<br />
their nine children. Her large family kept her busy with a<br />
huge garden, school lunches, and chickens and turkeys to<br />
raise each year. Church work was important to Violet who<br />
taught Sunday School, served on the United Church Council,<br />
and also as chairperson of the United Church Women.<br />
She enjoyed many trips with both family and friends,<br />
including visits to the British Isles, France, PEI, Nashville,<br />
Hawaii, Disneyland, Florida, Australia, Tasmania,<br />
and New Zealand. Her later years were kept busy with the<br />
Nokomis Senior Citizens Organization and get togethers<br />
with family who often brought her much happiness. As<br />

High-Performance<br />
Hot Water<br />
Remember last week when I tried to explain how<br />
you burn dissected water in a special electric<br />
carburetor, and the result was minimal horsepower,<br />
maximum weight, no emissions, and a whole bunch<br />
of really hard math?<br />
The second I had to do<br />
supplementary research<br />
on the fly and<br />
start re-drawing diagrams to<br />
try and make sense of them,<br />
I should have known it was<br />
a failing endeavour for both<br />
myself and the entire technology.<br />
Water isn’t totally out<br />
of the automotive equation,<br />
however, as it still provides a<br />
nice coolant for both internal<br />
combustion engines and<br />
electric motors. However, I’m<br />
not too focused on cooling<br />
this week, as my next internal<br />
combustion alternative is a<br />
hot one. Really hot. Steaming<br />
hot.<br />
The Stanley Steamer is<br />
probably the most famous automobile<br />
that utilized steam<br />
power, but steam power was<br />
more commonly found in<br />
locomotives and tractors. What makes steam power so much better than separating<br />
and burning the raw elements of water? Quite simply, it worked centuries<br />
ago, there’s no outside electricity required, and it can be made to run off of any<br />
fuel. Want an electric steamer? Bolt on a big old battery pack that runs a heating<br />
element in the boiler, and there you go. Want a diesel-powered steamer? A diesel<br />
heater can easily warm a garage in minutes (and burn the eyes and throats out of<br />
everyone inside), so it can easily heat a tank full of water. Gasoline, kerosene, oil,<br />

OBITUARY<br />
MASUR,<br />
Judy Dianne<br />
Dec 21, 1942 - April 22, 2<strong>02</strong>2<br />
It is with great sadness that we announce the<br />
passing of our mother, Judy Masur. Judy passed<br />
away peacefully at Royal University Hospital in<br />
Saskatoon at the age of 79. Judy, the youngest<br />
daughter of Dr. Hardy and Myrtle Sharp, was<br />
born in Gull Lake and raised in Shaunavon. After<br />
completing Teachers College in Saskatoon, Judy<br />
moved to Nokomis, Sask. where she taught Grades<br />
3 & 4. Judy married Lloyd Masur on December 19,<br />
1964 and made Nokomis her home for the remainder<br />
of her life. They were blessed with two children,<br />
Bruce (Elaine) Whitby, ON and Joan(Shree)<br />
Toronto, ON and four grandchildren, Harrison<br />
& Sophia Masur and Bryn & Eve Bhalerao. Judy<br />
is survived by her children, grandchildren, as<br />
well as numerous nieces and nephews. She is<br />
predeceased by her husband Lloyd Masur, parents, brother Norman Sharp and<br />
sisters Dorothy Sharp, Faye Quayle and Jean Sharp. Judy was involved with<br />
various committees and organizations throughout her life in Nokomis. She<br />
enjoyed travelling and spending time socializing with family and friends in the<br />
Nokomis area. A summer memorial for both Judy and Lloyd will be planned<br />
in Nokomis, SK for late July 2<strong>02</strong>2. Arrangements entrusted to Ashley Knash –<br />

HOT WATER - CONTINUES FROM PAGE 11<br />
coal, propane, LNG, even wood could be used. If you have a method of<br />
heating water that works, you can power a steam-driven engine, making<br />
steam power the most versatile power for transportation. Not only is<br />
steam versatile, but it also makes consistent power, similar to an electric<br />
motor. There’s no specific rpm or powerband that makes more power<br />
than any other. Why did the internal combustion engine replace steam?<br />
Probably big oil money, but it also could be the fact that steam power took<br />
up a fair bit of space in the vehicle way back when. Not only that, people<br />
were afraid of it. With all that pressure in boilers of archaic design, an<br />
explosion was always a possibility, especially in a crash. Sure, explosions<br />
weren’t that common, but people tend to remember tragedy ahead of triumph.<br />
The Goodyear blimp is famous, but the Hindenburg is the one that<br />
sticks with everyone to this day. The best part of steam power, though?<br />
Teaching young people where old expressions come from. When you tell<br />
someone to “pour the coal to it” in a steamer, you mean it literally, just<br />
like in the old days.<br />

Etch-A–Sketch<br />
In my daily devotions recently from ‘The Daily Bread” periodical,<br />
there was an article about the “Etch- A Sketch” product that<br />
came out many years ago and is still available today.<br />
This item had two control knobs for making images and even writing. One knob<br />
was for horizontal sketching and the other was for vertical. It was amazing just what<br />
could be sketched on such a simple screen. The best feature was the fact that if you<br />
“messed up” your attempt at whatever you tried to sketch, all you had to do was give<br />
the screen a shake and it would return to a normal blank position and you could start<br />
all over again. This little product reminded me that this is often the way things go in<br />
life. How many times have we messed up the sketch of our lives and desired to start<br />
again? The amazing thing is that we can start again. God has given us that option.<br />
When life gets messy and our screen is not legible, we can call upon Him. He sends<br />
us His Holy Spirit to “shake up” the screen of our lives and lets us start anew. Isn’t<br />
this wonderful? Got a problem with your lifescreen? Try God’s Etch- A-Sketch plan. It<br />
works, lasts forever and is simple to obtain. It is free, available to everyone, and lasts<br />
for all eternity.<br />

GYM - CONTINUES FROM PAGE 2<br />
gym memberships adds even more barriers to fitness and mental health,”<br />
said Young. “We should be encouraging people to reconnect and support<br />
local businesses. Instead, the Sask. Party is kicking the fitness industry<br />
when it’s down. Gyms shouldn’t foot the bill for this government’s pandemic<br />
and financial mismanagement.”<br />
Members of the Legislative Assembly were joined today by Edward and<br />
Jolene de Vries of Esterhazy and Yorkton Anytime Fitness, Aubrey Shpaiuk<br />
of Main St. Strength in Moose Jaw, Jake Sinclair of Regina Anytime<br />
Fitness and Jon Shiplack of the Kinesiology Association of Saskatchewan.<br />
Business owners and advocates for the fitness industry have voiced their<br />
frustration over the government’s proposed tax hike. Today, they warned<br />
that the effects of the measure could ripple beyond cash-strapped businesses.<br />
“The fitness tax will hurt cash-strapped people and businesses. We<br />
cannot afford to compromise our health and wellness at a time when our<br />
hospitals are stretched to the max,” said Edward. “Everyone I talk to is<br />
worried, and no one was consulted. I fear people will cancel their memberships,<br />
and it’s hard to blame them. Food, fuel, housing, everything is<br />
getting more expensive. At a time when the government should be making<br />
life easier, they’re making it harder.”<br />
“The fitness industry is there to support our healthcare system,” added<br />
Jolene. “For every dollar invested in healthy eating and physical activity<br />
six dollars are saved in the cost of healthcare.”<br />
The Official Opposition calls on the government of Saskatchewan to<br />
scrap the tax hike and introduce a tax incentive for the fitness industry.<br />
