FOURTH WINTER
This week's snowstorm
has taken the province
from hopes of spring
back into memories of
winter. The precipitation
has caused some road
closures and made driving
hazardous for many.
- BY JENNIFER ARGUE, Local
Journalism Initiative Reporter
April 20th, 2023
A meme by Saskatoon’s 92.9 The Bull
radio station declaring that we are in
“Fourth Winter” may feel pretty accurate
by many in Southern Saskatchewan
yesterday and today as a Spring
storm has taken the province from
hopes of spring back into memories of
winter.
The snowstorm had roads closed, and
travel was not recommended on many
roads around southern Saskatchewan.
The severe weather alert of a snowfall
warning issued by Environment
Canada said, “A low-pressure complex
near the Canada/U.S. border has
spread heavy snowfall inso southeastern
Saskatchewan and Southwestern
Manitoba. Accumulating snowfall will
taper off through the day on Thursday
into Friday night.”
Saskatchewan’s water security agency’s
most recent spring run-off update said
they don’t expect there to be “significant
flood impacts at this time…Most
of the Qu’Appelle River is now ice free,
reducing the risk of ice jams and also
increasing the river’s ability to move
water downstream, reducing the risk of
potential flooding.”
Taking into the wet, heavy snow
forecast, they said, “Snow is expected
to accumulate but, with cooler temperatures
expected late in the week, it
is expected to melt slower with significant
amounts soaking into the ground.
A slower melt will reduce the amount
contributing to streamflow and allow
more water to soak into the ground and
improve soil moisture conditions.”
For commuters, the icy roads had
some people attempting the journey.
A regular poster on the Facebook
group “Highway #6 North of Regina”
Landon Shreeves, posted, “...I bet you
all thought you heard the last of me.
Sorry about your luck, here I am. So…
if you're a good skater, I would just put
skates on instead of driving. It’s pretty
much pure ice from Southey town to
city...”
The weather didn’t hamper the RM
of Longlaketon’s Wednesday night
AGM from going ahead. CAO Courtney
Huber said the day before they had
discussed potentially postponing it but
decided to go ahead when it seemed the
weather wouldn’t be as bad. She noted
that they had no issues while travelling
to the meeting. Other than Council and
council staff, there were two attendees.
The previous year they had ten.
Don’t expect any super balmy spring
weather for the week ahead as nighttime
temperatures are around -3 to -11,
and daytime temperatures slowly rise
to +7 by Wednesday. Let’s hope there
won’t be a need to update the meme to
include “fifth winter.”
Meeting Chair
remains in chair
Reeve Bob Schmidt is going to remain in his
place around the table after Councillor Arndt
suggested he might move to the head of the
Council table so Zoom attendees could see him.
- BY JENNIFER ARGUE, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
April 6th, 2023
The request at the last regular meeting of Council by Councillor Howard
Arndt as a “point of procedure.” “Given that you are the Chair of
this meeting, and given that we do put it on there,” Arndt pointed to
the Zoom camera, which included Councillor Mark Strong, who was
attending via Zoom, “and people like Mark are attending, we should
either move the camera or you should sit at the head of the table as the
chair so people can see who is leading the meeting.”
Councilor Whitrow, who sits in the camera’s field of vision as the head,
said he didn’t have a problem moving if the Reeve wanted to take his
place.
“Well, I’ve been doing this since 2019 and we started recording in
2020...I’d say we just leave it. The Chair has the role of being the chair,

but the requirement to be visible? Well, we
are not in a room where we can all be visible,”
said Schmidt.
A member of the Zoom gallery pointed out in
the chat the camera was pointed toward the
ceiling, leaving Reeve Schmidt and Councilor
Gilbert out of view of the camera.
Councilor Arndt noted that everybody should
be visible in the meeting “and especially the
chair, because they are the face of the RM.”
The meeting moved on without any changes.
During the open forum, the gallery member
brought up the topic again, asking if the camera
could be adjusted. The Reeve said they
originally were going to put the tv on the side
wall, but it couldn’t support it. A/CAO Camille
Box explained the camera was located on top
of the television so that Council could see it.
She said she would try to make adjustments.
“...’I own that on Blu-Ray’ used to mean you
were really enthusiastic about a movie...
now it just means you spend too much time
at thrift stores...”

- BY BOB WILSON
April 15th, 2023
Despite changes to council after the last
election, some McKillop Council members
still feel the need to denigrate the local
reporter and newspaper. B S, fake news,
bullying, hounding, feeding the parasites,
all directed toward small-town media outlet.
One non-council person has suggested in
the past that all LMT articles be approved by
RM 220 council. While the acting CAO tries
to improve communication with the paper,
some councillors continue with their rants. If
you said it, if you did it, you own it. If it gets
reported in print, councillors should defend
their words and actions without blaming the
messenger, as they have done repeatedly.
Bob Wilson is a former councillor and lifelong resident of the
RM of McKillop 220

It's got a Hemi somehow
When the PT Cruiser debuted, it was one of those
things that was cool right up until it wasn’t, and that
transitioned quick.
OBITUARY
WATSON, Richard John (Bud)
November 6, 1929 - April 10, 2023
They looked old but futuristic.
They were compact yet
still underpowered, even
for their size. Remember all the
independent custom concept drawings
from back in the day? There
were convertibles, two-door
sedans, sedan delivery
vans, pickups,
roadster pickups,

kits that you could
glue on, then have a
reason to strap that
surfboard onto the
roof? Roth-style drawings
of cartoon PT Cruisers with
huge monsters driving them were
even common. These things were
the next hot rod, right up until the
moment that they weren’t.
They were almost like a Plymouth
Prowler if it were made into a van,
and although the Prowler was a
little underpowered, the PT Cruiser
seemed a lot underpowered. I
don’t think they sold too badly, and
I still see a few on the road today,
but very few. Not long ago, I saw
one for sale that was on a lifted
4x4 chassis with big mud tires.
Had it been local, I would have
contemplated cutting it into a lowbuck
UTV for summer, like a little
Bronco from outer space. Although
uncool to the ninety-nine percent,
there’s that pesky one percent that
can’t leave well enough alone. The
kind that does things like stuffing
a Hellcat engine into these things
and re-introducing the cool factor
to them.
One percent might be a lofty
estimate, as I have seen exactly
one Hellcat PT Cruiser to date: a
boring, white one. Rolling off the
assembly line with somewhere
between 136hp and 230hp with a

Tom (Beret), Bill (Muriel) and Larry (Mary).
Bud was born on November 6, 1929 on the
family farm near Govan, Saskatchewan where
he and Anne had a mixed farm raising various
crops and Hereford cattle until they retired

Sure, you could tweak them like

you that violent acceleration that

I think about a Mopar swap. It’s
WAAAAAY out of the realm of
your normal street rod swap.
Terry and Patsy Beaty from Tennessee
knew what they wanted,
and they trusted Smokey Mountain
Chassis of Georgetown to get
the job done. What they ended up
with was essentially your typical,

street rod, with a PT Crusier on
top. The front end was swapped
out for a Mustang II, and the stock,
dead rear axle was swapped out for
a 9.25” differential from a Dodge
pickup. Coilover shocks handle
all the bumps and corners. I have
almost no information on the
chassis, but I’m assuming a whole
chassis was built front-to-back, or
at the very least, a stout sub-frame
system, as there’s no visible cage
inside to stiffen the stock body.
Is it cool? Yeah, it’s cool, and although
I don’t know what it sounds

Next hot thing
One reason Canadian Prairie farmers have always
managed to survive – at least as a collective – is their
willingness to try new
things.
While there are times the
sector is criticized for not
taking on new production
technologies quickly enough, the barrier
is often cost as opposed to a general
reluctance to adapt to something new.
You can go back to the emergence of
zero till seeding as an example. While
the benefits might have been realized
by research data, producers had press
drills already, so there was a big cost
associated with the changeover to the
new tech.
It’s a similar consideration with autonomous
machinery. It may well be easy to
see the benefits – for example, reducing
some pressures on finding trained
operators for current equipment – but
again, producers have an equipment
fleet and replacing it is a big cost. By
contrast, a new crop might come along
like the hype over lupins dating
back to the 1990s. The markets
never quite developed,
and interest waned rather
quickly, but farmers
could dedicate some
acres to trying the crop
with less input than some
first-generation machinery
which makes a technological
step forward.
It’s the same on the livestock side,
Ag Notes
CALVIN
DANIELS
where through my years – first growing
up on a farm and then covering the sector
as a journalist for more than three
decades – producers have been willing
to try a massive range of critters.
Through the years, there has been a big
interest in ostrich, emu and elk. Bison
and fallow deer, red wattle and wild
pigs, Boer goats, llamas, alpacas and
now yaks.
Most of the ‘next hot thing’ fizzled
away rather quickly – red wattle hogs
and ostrich and fallow deer are some
examples. But others matured
into at least continuing niche
markers led by bison and
Boer goats.
So what about Yaks? Who
knows. A report at www.
producer.com noted interest
in forming an association
which would, of course, promote
the animals, so that would be
a start, but it ultimately comes down to
creating a market and ensuring supply,
hurdles that are often too high for
new farm products to scale. Yak isn’t
exactly a new animal to domestication
like bison and elk were. They have been
farmed in other countries for years.
It’s not likely yak will ever be a major
ag sector in Canada, but could they be
the next bison – a longstanding niche
sector? Time will tell, but it is certain
