Great Blue 

Heron 

-BY BARRY A. MITSCHKE 

It was a lovely fall worthy of many pictures. 

This one was taken about 10:30 am, Sept. 

26, 2021, just past the Snack Shack along 

Highway #20 to Craven. Can you find the 

Great Blue Heron (GBH) in the Qu’Appelle 

River? 

If you were in your vehicle, you couldn’t see much of this view because 

your speed and the guard rail prevent it. However, if you were 

walking or riding a bike that morning or during one of those sunny 

mornings from mid-September onwards, you might have noticed 

the Heron fishing in the shallows of the river. I was riding my bike 

back home from Lumsden and noticed the Heron on several days. 

When I decided to get a picture, I pedalled past, snuck back, and 

could only manage this picture. Every time the bird would flush, 

and I couldn’t get a better photo. The sketch shows some details of 

the bird (Field Book of Natural History/FBNH). 

The GBH is the front cover artwork of Al Smith’s Saskatchewan 

Birds book (2001; 176 pages). Being Saskatchewan’s largest heron, 

it is hard to miss in summer as it frequents sloughs, marshes, rivers 

and lake edges. “It stands statuesquely, surveying shallow waters 

for its next meal.” It will gobble its prey (frogs, small fish, aquatic 

invertebrates, snakes, mice, etc.) or spear them. It will also hunt in 

moist fields or wet meadows and will scavenge food.

Fern View is spacious yet economical

Open and welcoming, 

the Fern View’s front porch 

spans the front facade of Garage 

this contemporary ranchstyle 

home. Slender posts 

provide graceful accents. 

Having a basically rectangular

economical to build, heat and maintain. 

For young families, this makes 

a stunning starter home. For empty 

nesters it promises lower maintenance

‘Flavour-of-themonth’ 

SMR! 

BY ELAINE HUGHES, ARCHERWILL, SK 

RE: SaskPower Selects the GE-Hitachi BWRX-300 Small 

Modular Reactor Technology for Potential Deployment in 

Saskatchewan 

In response to the recent news that SaskPower has ‘selected’ its SMR of choice to meet the 

challenge of the climate crisis, it is important to examine two issues: 

One, the slick jargon about this so-called technology means nothing to most people. One has 

to read more than half-way through the press release before it is revealed, finally, that they 

are talking about using small modular ‘nuclear’ reactors (the word ‘nuclear’ is always withheld 

with these things), to produce our electricity. 

Second, nuclear energy is NOT the solution to climate change. 

Nuclear energy is an unnecessary, dangerous, dirty, obscenely expensive distraction from employing 

‘political will’ and ‘common sense’ to use truly clean, truly safe, readily available and 

relatively inexpensive renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and geothermal to truly 

meet the climate crisis. 

Sadly, one must wonder what goes through the minds of people who make decisions such as 

this.

Last Mountain Distillery, Saskatchewan’s first micro distillery 

is proud to announce that we are the premier liquor sponsor for 

this year’s Country Thunder in Craven, SK.

year in the event’s history 

that ALL of the liquor provided 

for Country Thunder 

will be produced locally. 

Located just minutes from 

from the Country Thunder 

venue, Last Mountain Distillery 

in Lumsden has been 

working around the clock to 

manufacture Vodka, Spiced 

Rum and even a unique 7 

year Whisky made special 

for Country Thunder. 

LMD will also be the sole 

provider for Coolers (Ready 

to Drink Beverages) for the 

event. 

Co-founder Meredith Schmidt said “It’s a great event that draws 30k people and it’s held in 

our own back yard so it’s only natural that we’d be the sponsor. Lot’s of micro distilleries are 

able to bid on the Vodka portion of the event but LMD is able to provide one stop shopping 

including our hand crafted whisky and coolers. 

We’re super excited to partner with Country Thunder and hope to show everyone what world 

class products we make”.

Craven and country music 

fans alike,” said Don Morgan, 

Minister Responsible 

for SaskTel. “With the power 

of 5G at their fingertips, concert 

goers will be able to stay 

connected like never before, 

while Craven residents and 

businesses will benefit from 

year-round access to one of 

the most advanced wireless networks in Canada.” 

“At SaskTel, we recognize the true potential of 5G and are pleased to bring our new network 

to Craven,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel President and CEO. “Being the first community outside 

of Regina and Saskatoon to receive 5G service, we’re extremely excited to test the network and 

its capabilities in a unique setting which will help us further develop the technology as we work 

to expand our 5G network to all corners of the province.” 

Powered by Samsung, SaskTel’s 5G network can reach speeds of up to 1.2 Gigabits per second 

(Gbps) allowing customers to connect faster than ever before. Future benefits of the 5G network 

once fully deployed will include incredible capacity and ultra-low latency, enabling new 

use cases for wireless technology that will be the foundation that next 

generation innovations will be built upon. 

More than a network upgrade, SaskTel 5G will support more data-driven smart solutions for 

agriculture and other industries that will help to drive economic development and prosperity 

across the province. 

“We’re extremely excited to bring Country Thunder back to Saskatchewan in 2022,” said Kim 

Blevins, General Manager, Country Thunder Music Festivals. “As we get set to kick things off 

later this week, it’s great to know that our patrons will have access to SaskTel’s cutting-edge 5G 

network while they enjoy some of the best country music artists of our time.” 

The expansion of 5G service to Craven is a direct result of SaskTel’s commitment to invest 

more than $1.5 billion of capital across Saskatchewan over the next five years. These investments 

will ensure Saskatchewan families and businesses continue to have access to some of 

the best communication and entertainment services available anywhere in the world.

Sports has its share of jerks 

Baseball manager Leo Durocher is famous for his ‘Nice guys finish last’ quote, but he’s wrong, of course. 

Sidney Crosby’s a nice guy and he’s won a couple of Stanley Cups. Jordan Spieth signs more autographs 

than the average PGA Tour pro, and he’s won three major championships and 15 or so other titles. Derek 

Jeter is beloved for his fan-friendly approach to baseball. 

From the 

Sidelines 

BRUCE 

PENTON 

But while the ‘nice 

guys’ are everywhere 

in sports, the jerks 

and bozos are probably 

more famous 

(infamous?) because 

they make headlines 

for their nefarious 

deeds. 

It was too easy to compile a 

top-10 list of sporting jerks. My list 

might differ from yours, but goes: 

(Honourable mentions: Michael 

Jordan, Tiger Woods, Antonio Brown, 

Aaron Rodgers, Conor McGregor and 

Pete Rose). 

10. Brad Marchand, Boston Bruins 

— Being called a ‘pest’ is almost a 

compliment; Marchand is more than 

an irritant. Licking the faces of opponents 

a couple of seasons back was a 

new low for him. 

9. and 8 (tie): The NHL’s only two 

‘Kanes’ fall into this category. Patrick 

of the Blackhawks has a history of 

out-of-control partying, a couple of 

assaults, including using a taxi driver 

as a punching bag over a fare dispute; 

and Evander, now of the Oilers, has 

had a checkered career including 

charges of assault, ignoring huge 

gambling debts, alleged domestic 

violence, and most recently, using a 

fake vaccination card. 

7. Patrick Reed: Video proof of Reed 

cheating at the Hero World Challenge 

a couple of years ago was only one of 

a number of rules violations of which 

he is accused. 

6. Mike Tyson: The one-time heavyweight 

champion of the world has 

been accused of taking his fistic skills 

to the street, or nightclub, but he’s 

most famous as a big time jerk for 

biting off part of Evander Holyfield’s 

ear during a title bout. 

5. Oscar Pistorius, Olympic-calibre 

sprinter with prosthetic legs (his 

limbs were amputated below the knee 

as an infant), Pistorius was acclaimed 

for his victory vs. adversity, and then 

he shot his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp 

on Valentine’s Day of 2013 and 

is now currently serving a 13-year 

prison sentence. 

4. and 3 (tie): Aaron Hernandez 

and O.J. Simpson — Football players 

whose names show up when the word 

‘murder’ is Googled. 

2. Barry Bonds: Owner of baseball’s 

most prominent asterisk, Bonds is 

the “all-time home-run leader” (yes, 

that’s in quotation marks for a reason) 

but many of his big blasts came 

during the steroid era, during which 

Bonds was king. 

1. Lance Armstrong, seven-time 

Tour de France cycling champion 

(1999-2005) and cancer survivor, had 

his world fall apart and his clean-cut 

reputation destroyed when he was 

found to have been a big-time doper 

after years of denying use of performance-enhancing 

drugs. 

• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “A 

Twitter analysis by betonline.ag 

has named the most hated players 

in MLB. They are, in order, Manny 

Machado, José Altuve and Bryce 

Harper. Congrats, guys!” 

• Phil Mushnick of the New York Post, 

after a fan was robbed — twice — 

while leaving Yankee Stadium: “You 

mean he had money left?” 

• Norman Chad, on Twitter: “Nothing 

worse than sitting down in a Las 

Vegas sports book for the first time 

since before the pandemic and seeing 

the Yankees winning, 10-2, and 

the Mets winning, 10-1. I’d rather 

walk into Popeyes and they tell me 

they’re out of chicken.” 

• Comedy writer Bill Littlejohn: “The 

Cleveland Browns are reportedly 

looking for a site to build a new 

stadium. The lease on their current 

home, First Energy Stadium, runs 

out in 2028 or whenever Deshaun 

Watson’s legal problems are resolved, 

whichever comes first.” 

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “ABC 

News recently reported clowns 

carrying baseball bats had been 

terrorizing people in Bakersfield, 

California. The first people I’d be 

questioning are the Oakland A’s.” 

• PGA pro Max Homa, on Twitter, 

on his next road trip: SCOTLAND 

BOUND! Never been and I can’t wait 

for the next couple weeks. Finished 

my Rosetta Stone and practised 

eating eggs without cooking them at 

all. I’m ready to rock.” 

• Some guy named Mark, on Twitter: 

“Saudi Arabian Goofy Golf will last 

as long as Saudi Arabia is willing to 

give windfalls to has-beens, hamand-eggers 

and heels.” 

• Comedy writer Torben Rolfsen of 

Vancouver, after a flurry of draft-day 

trades by the Chicago Blackhawks: 

“The Blackhawks just tried to trade 

Denis Savard for draft picks.” 

• Comedy writer Brad Dickson of 

Omaha, on hot-dog-eating champion 

Joey Chestnut: “Joey needs to 

apologize to his colon.” 

• American tourist John Dowd, to 

AP, on hand for Pamplona’s first 

Running of the Bulls in three years: 

“We have been looking forward to it. 

And, oh yeah, where is the hospital 

again?” 

• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com, 

on Kevin Durant angling 

for his fourth NBA team in the past 

eight seasons: “Durant is turning 

into the Taylor Swift of basketball. 

But at least her breakups result in 

good songs.”

Blanche rather white 

There are two areas of future development in agriculture which have long held my interest in a significant 

way. 

The most recent of those is 

the potential of robotics for 

everything from tractors 

sans an on-board operator, to 

robotic ‘bees’ pollinating crops, 

to sprayers using sensors to only 

apply a chemical to weed plants. 

There is little opposition to robotic 

development, although in many 

cases, it must be shown to be reliable 

and, of course, affordable. 

The other area of development 

is seen by many to be much more 

of a ‘Pandora’s Box,’ and that is 

genetically modifying plants and 

animals. 

I recall, years ago, 

sitting entranced by 

a presentation in 

Yorkton by futurist 

and economist 

Ag Notes

Dr. Lowell Catlett, 

who worked

at the New Mexico 

State University. 

The presentation at 

the time was called ‘The 

Future is So Bright You need to 

Wear Shades’ – although that might 

be paraphrasing a touch. 

Still, I recall him talking about 

farmers one day being able to raise 

goats which have been genetically 

modified to have cheetah skin. At 

the time, it sounded very much like 

something out of a sci-fi novel, but 

it was also intriguing to think just 

where genetic modification might 

take us. Many consumers blanche 

rather white at the idea of genetically 

modifying plants and animals. While 

GM canola is now very much the 

norm, most modified to not succumb 

Not a real photo 

to particular herbicides; there has 

been significant opposition to wheat 

going down the same path. But, herbicide 

resistance is only the tip of what 

genetic modification might mean. 

For example, it was earlier this year 

that a genetically-modified pig heart 

was transplanted into an American 

patient. The result of the operation 

was not what was hoped, with the 

patient dying some 40 days after the 

operation, but initially, it looked good 

from reports and suggested that the 

technology may well be viable. That 

is potentially huge when you consider 

organs for transplant are generally in 

short supply. GM developments may 

ultimately be life-saving. 

Getting GM organisms from successful 

development to where government 

regulatory offices approve them 

– in particular, if they are to be for 

human consumption –can be a long 

and costly process. 

Depending on which side of the GM 

debate one sits, reams of red tape can 

be positive as it delays the development 

of a feared technology or as a 

roadblock to developments aiding 

producers and consumers. 

What is needed is a balance. Regulations 

allow the science to grow 

while still making sure there is a 

watchdog being vigilant. Ultimately 

though, GM technology will grow. 

Whether that ever means there are 

‘cheetah-goats’ is unknown, but the 

crops and animals we produce in 

the future are likely to be genetically 

different from today.

Australians enjoy 

higher labour 

productivity growth 

and living standards—than Canadians due 

largely to improvements in their mining and 

energy sector. 

VANCOUVER—Australians have enjoyed higher labour productivity 

growth—a key driver of higher living standards—than Canadians over 

the last 25 years due largely to greater improvements in the mining and 

energy sector, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an 

independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. 

“The evidence is clear—Australian workers have improved their productivity 

at a higher rate than Canadian workers over the last 25 years, 

giving rise to a widening gap in living standards between the two countries,” 

said Stephen Kirchner, senior fellow with the Fraser Institute and 

co-author of The Canadian-Australian Business Sector Productivity Gap: 

A Sectoral Analysis. 

The study finds that between 1995 and 2019, Australia’s labour productivity 

per worker—essentially, the ability of workers to transform inputs 

into outputs—improved, on average, by 1.6 per cent every year. Meanwhile, 

Canada’s average annual growth was 1.3 per cent. 

While this difference may seem small, over time it compounds and 

results in larger and material differences in Canada’s average standard of 

living compared to Australia’s. 

Critically, Australia’s overall productivity growth was enhanced by 

improvements in its mining and energy sectors when compared against 

Canada, which lagged. Australia’s mining sector contributed 0.3 percentage 

points to its overall 1.6 per cent average gain in labour productivity 

compared to just 0.04 percentage points to Canada’s overall 1.3 per cent 

average growth. 

“For a number of reasons, Australia is an important comparator 

country for Canada, and in recent years, Australia has done a better job 

capitalizing on its natural resources than Canada,” said Kirchner.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: 

SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN

Work will occupy your full attention. You’ll 

have a host of details to consider. You’ll 

need to pay attention to the minutiae 

and take your time to get things right. 

I’ve always had a soft spot for the El

good as the cars they were based on. 

TAURUS 

You’ll be offered an opportunity to oversee 

a project. Although the situation 

will be demanding, the experience will 

improve your self-esteem and build selfconfidence. 

GEMINI 

Whether or not you’re on vacation, you 

may spend a good part of the week at 

home. Some family stories will demand 

your special attention. Your health might 

also require you to get more rest. 

CANCER 

It won’t always be easy to reach some 

people. Be prepared to wait a while for 

people to get back to you, even if you 

leave a lot of messages. Emergency or 

not, you’ll have to be patient.

for a certain time period, and that was it. It might have varied 

region-to-region, but my understanding is that farm trucks 

were allotted more than passenger cars. The cars got hacked so 

they could drive more. It was a loophole that probably gave a 

lot of Model T cars a longer life on the road as a handy pickup. 

However, the Foreman Coupe is too new for that and was built 

exactly as shown. 

It’s sleek and smooth right up until the moment that it isn’t. 

The bed looks finished, just mismatched to the rest of the body. 

In 1936, it was either a Coupe or a Foreman Coupe. There was 

no “un-trucking” it. In 1937-1942, when you ordered a Foreman 

Coupe, it actually came with a painted decklid wrapped 

in paper, as the bed was removable. 1936 was also the only 

year with a fender-mounted spare tire. After that, the tire was 

mounted under the bed floor, a trend that continues to this very 

day. I’m not sure how it came out of there, and honestly, I’m not 

sure how they come out of most trucks. Mine usually come out 

with an angle grinder and spend the rest of their days ratchet-strapped 

into the bed, as the only thing worse than getting a 

flat tire is getting the spare out of its rusted and seized factory 

tomb. 

If you were the type of person who wanted one of these car 

pickups, there are a few issues even over and above the high 

price tag. The first issue is the fact that they were a truck, so 

they got beat, bent, and scrapped. The second issue is that they 

only made about ten thousand of them accumulated over all the 

years. Honestly, they’re about as common as ivory from a unicorn’s 

horn, but they’re also not that complicated to clone with a 

little sheet metal and the right bends.

OBITUARY 

MODELAND, BILL 

November 1, 1949 - June 26, 2022 

beloved husband of Gail Modeland of the Usherville 

district passed away on June 26, 2022. 

He was 72 years of age. 

Bill (William) was born on November 1, 1949 

in Regina, SK. He was the only child of Donald 

and Willa Modeland. 

Bill grew up in Cupar, Saskatchewan. Cupar 

was a small community yet large in family, as 

Willa’s sisters had also settled in the area with 

their families. Bill spent a lot of time growing up 

at the Maclean and Gibson family farms. As an 

only child, Bill was extremely close with his first 

cousins Glenda, Bill, Jamie, Glen, Sandra, and 

Sharon. 

As with most young boys Bill was inspired by his heroes on TV. Roy Rogers was Bill’s 

favorite and he always dreamt of being a cowboy, unfortunately, one typically has to 

like horses to be a cowboy and Bill & horses just did not get along. From “camping & 

hunting expeditions” in Maclean’s coulee as children, to family road hockey games at 

Christmas time, Bill was always very close with his family. 

After graduating high school in 1967, Bill started work at the Royal Bank in Watrous, 

SK, in a position his father Don had lined up for him. After moving around to a few 

other branches throughout Saskatchewan he ended up finding a career with the Credit 

Union, eventually working his way up to manager and general manager. Throughout 

all this, his constant was the love of his life, Gail Steward. 

Bill and Gail married on May 22, 1971 in Cupar. They lived and worked in Regina until 

1979 when they then moved to Strasbourg. Bill joined his parents in the Robinson 

Store business until 1984, when an opportunity at the local Credit Union led Bill back 

into the banking business. 

After many years of trying, Bill and Gail were ecstatic at the news that they were 

finally pregnant. The arrival of their first child, a son, David William, on October 16th, 

1986 brought the beginning of Bill and Gail’s family and the next chapter in their lives. 

Two years later their family was complete with a girl, Jenna Lynn, on December 4th, 

1988. Bill and Gail’s world revolved around their children. 

Throughout the years they made many memories at their family cabins. Bill grew up 

at Glen Harbour and wanted his family to have the same outdoor upbringing that he 

did. He and his family spent much of their summers enjoying the sun and the water 

at Glen Harbour surrounded by family and friends. In 1994 Gail’s sister Bonnie and 

her husband Pat bought a cottage 1 door down from Bill and Gail’s at the beach. This 

brought the 2 families even closer together and many a good time was had. They also 

made many special memories up at Missinipe in a cottage that the Modeland and 

Williams families built themselves in 1978. This was and still is a very special place for 

both families, being home to lots of core memories for all. Bill’s passion for hunting led 

him and 2 friends (Bert and Paul) to purchase a very small 3 bedroom house in Usherville 

in 1988; this community is where he would ultimately spend his days. Bill shared 

his passions and made many fond memories with family and friends at these special 

places throughout the years. Beach parties and watersports at Glen Harbour in the 

summer, spectacular fishing trips and shore lunches amongst the waterfalls at Missinipe, 

and snowmobiling, quadding and hunting at Usherville. Bill enjoyed nothing 

more than sharing these experiences with his friends and family members. 

Bill retired from the Credit Union in 2006 and was able to put more time into some 

of his other interests, getting big into golf, helping out friends and even taking a position 

at G&S Marina for a season. 

In 2012 Bill and Gail were blessed with the arrival of their first grandchild, Hunter 

(Jenna). Their second grandchild, Brooklyn (David), was born in 2014. Bill and Gail 

spent 9 years helping to raise their grandson Hunter and he and Bill had a very close 

bond. Brooklyn adored her Grandpa and they also shared many special times together. 

In 2019 Gail retired and they moved permanently up to Usherville to a larger house 

and yard they had purchased in 2011 in anticipation of their retirement. Bill’s knowledge 

and passion for hunting also led him to take a part time position at the local 

hunting and archery store in Preeceville in 2021 where he met many new friends. 

Bill’s health started to decline noticeably in November of 2021 during moose hunting 

season. Nothing was going to stop him from getting out for one last hunt with his son 

and his best friends. He was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in February of 2022 and 

his condition rapidly deteriorated. He was admitted to Canora hospital on Monday, 

June 20, 2022 and passed away peacefully the morning of Sunday, June 26, 2022. 

Bill was predeceased by his parents, Don and Willa Modeland. Left to cherish his 

memory is his wife Gail, children David (Chantelle and Arya) and Jenna, grandchildren 

Hunter and Brooklyn, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many, 

many friends. 

Funeral Services were held on Thursday, June 30, 2022 from the Chapel of Preeceville 

Funeral Home with Pastor Hein Bertram of St. John Lutheran Church officiating. 

Tributes and words of remembrance were given by Scott Hubick. Honourary Urnbearers 

were Bill’s grandchildren, Hunter, Brooklyn and Arya. Interment followed in 

Preeceville Lutheran Cemetery with Bill’s children, David and Jenna serving as the 

urnbearers. Condolences can be sent to the family at preecevillefuneralhome.com 

Memorials in memory of Bill may 

be made to the Preeceville Wildlife 

Federation, to the East Shore 

Wildlife Federation in Strasbourg 

or to Preeceville Home Care as 

gifts of remembrance. 

Arrangements were entrusted to 

Preeceville Funeral Home. 

CONTINUES FROM PAGE 1 

This large grey-blue bird has a long curving neck that is 

held back over its shoulders when it flies, distinguishing it 

from cranes (sandhill and whooping). Its body is about 1.3 

metres long with a wing span of about 2 metres; it has a 

large, long sharply-pointed yellow bill. 

A colonial bird, they will build a collection of stick-andtwig 

platform nests, usually in large dead trees, laying 3-5 

bluish eggs to incubate for about 28 days. In the 1970s from a 

respectful distance, I saw one of these heronries near Nicolle 

Flats, Buffalo Pound Lake area. The encyclopedic Birds of 

Saskatchewan (2019), authored by Smith, Roy and Houston, 

reports (p.167) that there are about 175 heronries in the province; 

the longest continuous occupation occurred at Nicolle 

Flats (1883-1999). They will also nest individually in shrubs 

and bedside marshes. When not nesting, they are solitary 

birds. 

Depending on the weather, they may arrive from their 

spring migration in early April and depart by early November. 

Whenever and wherever you see them flying or hunting, 

they are one of our most majestic birds. They always deserve 

our protection as they grace local habitats. Take only photographs. 

Enjoy!

REGINA (July 14, 

2022) — When Karl 

Carbonell scanned his

using the Lotto Spot! 

App, he couldn’t believe 

his eyes. He had 

won $100,000! 

“I said ‘Is this for 

real?!’ I saw a couple 

zeroes and I had to 

count them one by 

one,” he said while 

claiming his prize. 

The winner scanned the ticket four more times before he went inside 

to share the good news with his wife. 

“I ran back in and scared her because she thought something was 

wrong,” he laughed. 

Carbonell purchased his ticket from the Sherwood Co-Op at 1181 N 

Argyle St., Regina. He won by matching the last six winning EXTRA 

numbers for the June 21 LOTTO MAX draw – 2167779. 

The happy Regina resident has a few plans for his windfall.

towards our mortgage and our son’s education as well.”
