SEMANS GROCERY<br />

STRUGGLING WITH<br />

INFLATION AND STAFFING<br />

The grocery store in Semans was formerly a Co-op run by the Last Mountain Co-op before they sold it<br />

to the Village for $1.00, stock and all. After the Village cleaned and repaired problems, they ran it for six<br />

months, also losing money before selling it to Tam Nguyen for a six-year deal. Tam hopes to increase their<br />

hours in July.<br />

Nguyen has owned and operated the<br />

Semans Grocery Store for two years. He<br />

also owns the cafe in a small community<br />

of <strong>20</strong>0 and a surrounding rural population of 600<br />

plus.<br />

Like many small businesses post-COVID, Nguyen<br />

has struggled to keep business going. He said<br />

that because no one was coming in the mornings,<br />

he couldn’t maintain staff and has had to reduce<br />

hours to the afternoons during the week and open<br />

during regular business hours on Saturdays. He<br />

said he’s just trying to survive to keep the doors<br />

open.<br />

The cost of perishable goods such as lettuce and<br />

other products that customers want has increased<br />

so much, and since he has to buy a box at a time<br />

Wildfire season in Saskatchewan<br />

The dry conditions with added wind can create an optimal<br />

environment for dangerous grass fires. Area fire departments have<br />

already dealt with such fires and warn people to use extreme caution<br />

and avoid burning if possible.<br />

- BY JENNIFER ARGUE, Local<br />

Journalism Initiative Reporter<br />

<strong>May</strong> 3, <strong>20</strong>23<br />

It’s the time of year between<br />

when the snow has receded<br />

and the first rains, leaving<br />

the dry remnants of last year's<br />

grass and stubble.<br />

On <strong>May</strong> 1st, Bethune’s Emergency<br />

Services responded to<br />

an out-of-control burn south of<br />

Bethune., Ashton Riche is the<br />

Fire Chief with Bethune Emergency<br />

Services. “I would say they<br />

had it contained in about <strong>20</strong><br />

minutes by the time they were<br />

on scene” There wasn’t any loss<br />

of property as a result. “it just<br />

burnt up to the road and into the<br />

bushes, which made it a little bit<br />

tricky,” Riche said.<br />

He said it’s better if people wait<br />

until after it rains. He has a recommendation<br />

for people considering<br />

a controlled burn, “Have a<br />

look at the forecast and see how<br />

much wind there is going to be.<br />

Because over the past few years<br />

that’s been the culprit of quite<br />

a few of these is a controlled<br />

burn that’s been out and with<br />

the wind we’ve been having just<br />

sparks it up again.”<br />

On April 30th, the Silton Fire<br />

Department attended a grass<br />

fire northwest of Silton. They<br />

posted to FB, “Upon arrival,<br />

the fire was observed spreading<br />

westbound through the yard and<br />

encroaching on a nearby barn.<br />

Our fire crew quickly began<br />

efforts to contain the fire and<br />

extinguish the flames around<br />

the barn. These efforts were<br />

successful and the fire was contained<br />

to a relatively small area.<br />

No injuries were reported.”<br />

Due to low humidity and warm<br />

temperatures, the Silton FD is<br />

reminding people to consider<br />

holding off burning, taking<br />

extra precautions if they have to,<br />

I attended the service for Trevor Cary, and I must admit to being<br />

mentally exhausted upon leaving a packed lumsden centennial<br />

hall.<br />

SUBMITTED, Peter Foster<br />

<strong>May</strong> 3, <strong>20</strong>23<br />

From the sheer raw emotion displayed by<br />

members of Trevor's family as they attempted<br />

to discern reason from the impossible. The<br />

number of people in the hall bore mute testimony<br />

to the measure of a man who will never<br />

be replaced. Was there a person in that hall<br />

that did not owe a debt to Cary’s Trenching?<br />

Who do you call when it is 30 below and you<br />

have no water to the barn or the house? If<br />

your very community is under threat of flood<br />

waters? Who do you call on a Sunday when<br />

the ground has shifted and bent and mutilated<br />

the main water line for your entire village<br />

and never leave until water is restored? Or dig<br />

up a frozen water main at the care home when<br />

it’s -39? You call Carys Trenching because you<br />

know full well their excellence and professionalism<br />

will get you out of a tight spot!<br />

I saw hard men weep there, myself included,<br />

when Trevor's daughters spoke about their<br />

unspeakable loss! I have two memories of<br />

Trevor I would like to share. Cary’s replaced<br />

the septic tank and sewer system at my<br />

mother's place. She had a small dog that took<br />

offence to Trevor digging up her yard and<br />

commenced to barking at him sitting in the<br />

track hoe. Trevor took the bucket and flicked<br />

it in the dog's face, and I will never forget<br />

the sight of a dog roughly the size of a loaf of<br />

bread being chased round and round the track<br />

hoe by Trevor, laughing like a maniac, as were<br />

we all! The last time I talked to him was in the<br />

Trevor Cary<br />

Benefit in Bulyea<br />

The communities from around the<br />

area; Bulyea, Strasbourg, Duval,<br />

Govan, Earl Grey, Southey, Silton<br />

and Craven joined forces to put<br />

on a fundraiser for a toddler from<br />

Bulyea.<br />

SUBMITTED, Vicki Ehrlich<br />

<strong>May</strong> 7, <strong>20</strong>23<br />

Little Benson Galgar, who will be two has been<br />

suffering from a lung infection that the cause has<br />

not yet been diagnosed. He has had several hospital<br />

stays, a trip to Calgary and likely one to Toronto as<br />

well. A group of locals decided to put on a fundraiser<br />

to help defray the costs. The organizers did a bangup<br />

job of getting securing generously donated prizes<br />

for a silent auction, preparing a lunch that consisted<br />

Craven bar, he was talking with a friend. Both<br />

of them are chrome domes, so I proposed to<br />

get our hands on a laser, bounce it off their<br />

head, then off Trevor's, then off the moon and<br />

see if we could measure the speed of light,<br />

much to our amusement!<br />

It is a tragedy he is departed from this plane<br />

of existence. Sometimes there are no reasons<br />

for such things, but we as the living must bear<br />

the beautiful curse of carrying on, as best we<br />

can, without him.<br />

Darren Cameron (Left) accepting the $<strong>20</strong>00<br />

cheque from the Bulyea Lions President Drew<br />

Thompson<br />

of chili, bun, pie and a bar stocked with refreshments. All told $14,407 was raised. The Bulyea<br />

Lions Club donated $<strong>20</strong>00, and Duval Optimists donated $1000 to help the cause.<br />

It was heartwarming to see the Bulyea hall full of family, friends and lots of well wishes. A job<br />

well done, and our fingers are crossed, wishing little Benson’s recovery.<br />

RM agrees to go to mediation and votes to<br />

invite a former councillor to represent RM at<br />

mediation<br />

RM McKillop votes former Councilor Gary Dixon<br />

best suited to represent RM<br />

- BY JENNIFER ARGUE, Local<br />

Journalism Initiative Reporter<br />

April 25th, <strong>20</strong>23<br />

The Council of the RM of McKillop<br />

has voted to comply with the letter<br />

sent by Don McMorris, the Minister<br />

of Government Relations, stating that<br />

both the RM and the resort villages<br />

go to mediation over the long-standing<br />

dispute around the maintenance<br />

of the RM-owned access roads into<br />

resort villages of Glen Harbour,<br />

Island View, Pelican Point and Sunset<br />

Cove.<br />

The Minister<br />

wrote the<br />

“I think we<br />

should have<br />

somebody<br />

from council<br />

representing<br />

us.”<br />

February 24th<br />

letter to the RM<br />

as a result of the<br />

Saskatchewan<br />

Urban Municipalities<br />

Association's<br />

request to<br />

the Minister that<br />

he authorize the<br />

Saskatchewan<br />

Municipal Board<br />

(SMB) to make a<br />

decision on the<br />

matter. He wrote,<br />

“I feel this is the first step in working<br />

towards a suitable resolution in this<br />

matter…If the dispute has not been<br />

resolved through mediation, legislation<br />

provides an opportunity for the<br />

matter to be referred to the SMB for a<br />

decision..”<br />

The RM says they are doing what the<br />

Act requires to keep the road safe by<br />

grading, mowing the ditches, and removing<br />

snow. They have also slowed<br />

the speed down to 30 km/hr. The<br />

resort villages take <strong>issue</strong> with those<br />

claims.<br />

After the meeting, <strong>LMT</strong> reached out<br />

to Tom Fulcher, the spokesperson<br />

for the Resort Villages. He wrote,<br />

“In reply to the discussions recently<br />

held by the RM council, we believe<br />

that the RM is continuing to provide<br />

misinformation to their ratepayers<br />

over this matter.<br />

Our resort villages have made a<br />

formal request to the Minister to<br />

have this long standing <strong>issue</strong> formally<br />

resolved by the Saskatchewan Municipal<br />

Board. If an agreement cannot be<br />

reached though the upcoming dispute<br />

resolution process, the Minister will<br />

then direct the Saskatchewan Municipal<br />

Board to put forth a binding decision<br />

on this matter. We are extremely<br />

pleased with this outcome. Therefore,<br />

out of respect towards this process,<br />

which we initiated, we feel that any<br />

further public comments would not<br />

be appropriate at this time.”<br />

Council voted to invite former<br />

Councilor Gary Dixon to head to<br />

the mediation table with Reeve Bob<br />

Schmidt. Dixon was formerly the<br />

Division 4 councillor who lost his<br />

<strong>20</strong>23 re-election bid at a vote of 90 to<br />

22 to newcomer Mark Strong. Reeve<br />

Bob Schmidt said, “Now our big thing<br />

is, who are we going to appoint? I<br />

don’t think it's in our best interest to<br />

appoint anybody on council.” When<br />

a councillor asked, “Who?” Reeve<br />

Schmidt responded, “We have a councillor<br />

who has been through this all;<br />

Gary Dixon can go on our behalf.”<br />

Gary Dixon also holds the position of<br />

President for the lobbying group Provincial<br />

Association of Resort Communities<br />

of Saskatchewan( PARCS),<br />

a position he held while on council.<br />

Their website describes the organization<br />

as “ an independent lobby organization<br />

and continues to represent<br />

resort village and organized hamlet<br />

<strong>issue</strong>s with all levels of government as<br />

well as with SUMA and SARM.”<br />

Councilor Bondar said, “I think we<br />

should have somebody from council<br />

representing us.” There were<br />

suggestions of sending more than<br />

two council members and possibly<br />

including the Public Works Manager,<br />

Travis Herman. This will be the first<br />

time the two parties have met at the<br />

mediation table, despite negotiations<br />

for the past two years.<br />

Schmidt said the Minister’s letter<br />

referenced a list of <strong>issue</strong>s from the<br />

Resort Villages. “At no time did they<br />

send us this list…so we are going to<br />

go blind into mediation.” Council<br />

decided to ask for the list of <strong>issue</strong>s<br />

provided to the Minister.<br />

Councilor Gary Gilbert suggested<br />

After three long years of<br />

downtime due to COVID, we<br />

cannot wait to showcase the<br />

beautiful artwork of local and aspiring<br />

artists alike.<br />

This year, as part of our desire to<br />

nurture young talent, we are including<br />

student works from William<br />

Derby School. One of these budding<br />

artists is Julia Hrycak, a Grade 9<br />

student who has already displayed<br />

her work publicly. This will be Danica<br />

Bracken’s and Aiden Mitchell’s (both<br />

in Grade 6) first time exhibiting,<br />

and we can’t wait to see their unique<br />

Julia Hrycak<br />

perspectives.<br />

At LMAC, we’re committed to mentoring<br />

artists of any age and to providing<br />

exposure as they develop their<br />

skills. We believe that art has a vital<br />

place in our culture and that young<br />

artists, in particular, deserve opportunities<br />

to showcase their talents.<br />

In a world where social media can<br />

be overwhelming, art offers a way for<br />

youths to enjoy some time alone and<br />

express themselves creatively. This<br />

is a good opportunity for the community<br />

to see how the students have<br />

grown during a time of diminishing<br />

resources.<br />

Make sure to stop by the What If?<br />

Gallery to view artwork from some<br />

Danica Bracken<br />

very young students to others a bit<br />

longer in the tooth, ranging from<br />

ceramics and fibre art to painting and<br />

photography. It’s all taking place at<br />

Silverware haul coming<br />

McDavid’s way<br />

Connor McDavid is going to need an extra hand, or perhaps a team-mate<br />

willing to do some heavy lifting, when it comes time for the National<br />

Hockey League awards ceremony to be held in Nashville in late June.<br />

April 24, <strong>20</strong>23<br />

Ntothing is guaranteed, of course, but<br />

McDavid already has three trophies locked<br />

up, with an opportunity for at least one<br />

more (the Conn Smythe award for most valuable<br />

player in the Stanley Cup playoffs).<br />

Trophies in McDavid’s clutches already include the<br />

Rocket Richard trophy for most goals during the<br />

regular season (64), the Art Ross trophy for the<br />

league scoring leader (153 points), which he<br />

pretty well wrapped up around Valentine’s<br />

Day, and almost certainly the<br />

Hart Trophy as the league’s most<br />

valuable player. Not a single pundit<br />

has dared suggest any other player<br />

has even a remote chance of wresting<br />

the Hart away from the 26-yearold<br />

eight-year veteran. McDavid’s<br />

point total was the highest since Mario<br />

Lemieux piled up 161 points in 1995-96. This<br />

From<br />

the<br />

Sidelines<br />

BRUCE<br />

PENTON<br />

is McDavid’s fifth scoring title, trailing only Wayne<br />

Gretzky (10), Gordie Howe (6) and Lemieux (6).<br />

Unless another Connor (Bedard) puts a stop to it,<br />

McDavid is likely to close the gap, or even surpass,<br />

the 10 scoring titles won by Gretzky by the time he<br />

retires.<br />

So where will the other major trophies go?<br />

The James Norris Memorial Trophy goes to the<br />

league’s best defenceman and because it’s obvious<br />

San Jose’s Erik Karlsson is the most talented offensive<br />

player who plays defence, voters are likely to be<br />

strongly swayed by his 100-plus point season and<br />

award him the trophy. Former winners Cale Makar<br />

of Colorado and Adam Fox of the Rangers will get<br />

some voter attention, as will young Rasmus Dahlin<br />

of Buffalo, but Karlsson’s status as only the seventh<br />

NHL defenceman ever to surpass 100 points will<br />

likely earn him the trophy.<br />

The Calder Trophy for top rookie appears to be a<br />

two-player race, between Seattle’s Matty Beniers<br />

and Dallas’s Wyatt Johnston. Both had outstanding<br />

freshman seasons, scoring 24 goals each, but<br />

Beniers outpointed him 57-41. Goalie Stu Skinner<br />

of the Oilers and Arizona’s Mattias Macelli will also<br />

attract some votes.<br />

Hart Memorial Trophy<br />

Boston’s extraordinary regular season (a record 135<br />

points) will almost certainly give them the Jack Adams<br />

trophy as top coach (Jim Montgomery) and the<br />

Vezina Trophy for best goaltender (Linus Ullmark).<br />

The biggest prize of all, though (besides the Stanley<br />

Cup) will be the team winning the lottery to pick<br />

first in the amateur draft. It’s the Connor Bedard<br />

sweepstakes and it will dramatically alter the course<br />

of the lucky team. No silverware involved …. yet.<br />

That will come a few years down the road.<br />

Let's Talk About Insomnia<br />

Fundamentally, insomnia happens because the mind cannot relax. When the mind cannot relax, then the<br />

body cannot either. Relaxation is a natural state in members of the animal kingdom.<br />

BY GWEN RANDALL-YOUNG<br />

<strong>May</strong> 5, <strong>20</strong>23<br />

Our pet can be running around,<br />

playing with us, or wrestling with a<br />

toy. They have lots of energy and are<br />

stimulated. Then, a few minutes later<br />

we find them peacefully dozing while<br />

their bodies seem completely limp.<br />

Babies are like this after being fed,<br />

and long ago adult humans were like<br />

this too. Early humans were right<br />

brain dominant, without language.<br />

The right brain is abstract, and<br />

emotional. With language came an<br />

increasingly dominant left brain, the<br />

logical analytical part.<br />

Over time the left brain became<br />

more and more dominant. With the<br />

rise of technology, humans are more<br />

alert and tuned into that technology.<br />

The left brain became very busy. No<br />

longer thinking only of the next meal,<br />

fighting or mating, it was like there<br />

was ongoing dialogue within the<br />

brain. Everything speeded up.<br />

Now we could worry about the future<br />

or lament the past. We could create<br />

worst case scenarios and wonder<br />

what others thought of us. The brain<br />

did not stop when we slept. We did<br />

not hear it when in deep sleep, but<br />

when we came out of that phase, the<br />

inner chatter woke us. If the chatter<br />

was about something we worried<br />

or were anxious about, a whole new<br />

train of thinking could begin so then<br />

we could not go back to sleep.<br />

Further, if our life situation creates<br />

stress, the muscles contract which<br />

makes it harder to sleep. With a tense<br />

body relaxation is not possible.<br />

Many turn to sleep medications, however<br />

those do not get to the root of the<br />

problem, and if we stop taking them,<br />

sleeplessness recurs. The body and<br />

mind have not learned to shut down.<br />

Of course, caffeine, alcohol, a full<br />

stomach, and too much technology<br />

before bed also affects our sleep.<br />

Notwithstanding a neurological<br />

disorder, I think most sleep problems<br />

would be resolved if we completely<br />

relaxed the body and quieted the<br />

mind. This is not something we can<br />

do overnight (pun not intended).<br />

We must train ourselves to relax our<br />

muscles and gain control of the mind,<br />

so at night we can shut it off just like a<br />

television.<br />

The first step is to pay attention. Lie<br />

down and notice your body. Then tell<br />

the muscles to relax. You should feel<br />

a little release. Then tell it to relax<br />

more. You can keep doing this and<br />

never reach the point where there is<br />

nothing left to relax! You will become<br />

aware of how much tension is in your<br />

muscles. Yoga is great for relaxing the<br />

body.<br />

Next, notice what your mind is doing.<br />

Is it re-running films of your past experiences?<br />

Is it worrying about some<br />

person or problem? Is it re-playing<br />

the day or planning or worrying<br />

about the next day? Is it re-playing<br />

conversations? All of these will make<br />

it hard, or for some, impossible to<br />

sleep.<br />

Start with assessing yourself. Read<br />

up on sleep hygiene. You do have<br />

the power to learn to put yourself to<br />

sleep.<br />

NFL QBs on the move,<br />

and getting rich<br />

There is no higher profile position in North American sports than the<br />

quarterback of a National Football League team.Today we’ll look at three of<br />

them — one coming, one going, and one who was in limbo but is now in the<br />

chips.<br />

April 29, <strong>20</strong>23<br />

In the ‘coming’ category is former<br />

Alabama star Bryce Young,<br />

chosen first overall in the<br />

late-April NFL draft by the Carolina<br />

Panthers. It was a controversial<br />

pick, because Young, who won the<br />

Heisman Trophy in <strong><strong>20</strong>22</strong> as the best<br />

player in U.S. college football, stands<br />

only 5-foot-10 and teams usually<br />

like their QBs to be tall (6-foot-3 or<br />

more) so they can easily see over<br />

the line of scrimmage. But Young’s<br />

play-making ability, quick reaction,<br />

and strong arm have made general<br />

managers believe that he could<br />

be another Drew Brees or Russell<br />

Wilson, height-challenged quarterbacks<br />

who starred in the NFL. The<br />

Panthers’ choice apparently came<br />

down to Young or the 6-foot-3<br />

C.J. Stroud, whose Ohio<br />

State Buckeyes lost in<br />

From<br />

the<br />

Sidelines<br />

BRUCE<br />

PENTON<br />

the college football<br />

semi-final last season.<br />

Caroline chose<br />

the shorter guy and<br />

the scrutiny over<br />

that choice will be<br />

immense among football<br />

fans in the next few years.<br />

In the ‘going’ slot, we have 39-yearold<br />

Pro Bowl veteran Aaron Rodgers,<br />

the long-time Green Bay Packer<br />

stalwart still at the top of his game,<br />

going to the New York Jets. Rodgers<br />

was not shy in telling the world he no<br />

longer wanted to play in Wisconsin<br />

and that the Jets would be his preferred<br />

new team. After a month or so<br />

of negotiations, stalling and threats,<br />

a deal involving a variety of draft<br />

picks was finally consummated, and<br />

Rodgers will face Big Apple pressure<br />

in taking the Jets to the promised<br />

land — the playoffs. The Jets haven’t<br />

made the playoffs in 12 years and<br />

own the longest North American<br />

playoff drought among all major<br />

sports. Pressure? After the Rodgers’<br />

deal was announced, the Jets were<br />

pegged by the betting industry with<br />

the fourth-best odds to win next<br />

year’s Super Bowl.<br />

For the longest time, Baltimore<br />

Ravens’ QB Lamar Jackson was in<br />

apparent limbo, given the ‘franchise’<br />

tag by the Ravens after contract<br />

negotiations stalled. Being ‘tagged'<br />

means any team could sign Jackson<br />

to a contract, but would have to<br />

forfeit two first-round draft picks.<br />

Jackson is a great player (the NFL’s<br />

MVP in <strong>20</strong>19), but injury prone, having<br />

missed 10 games over the past<br />

two years. Jackson felt he should<br />

be able to sign a fully guaranteed<br />

contract, similar to the $230 million<br />

five-year pact — 100 per cent guaranteed<br />

— Deshaun Watson signed in<br />

Cleveland. Finally, Jackson got his<br />

way, inking a $250 million five-year<br />

deal with Baltimore, of which $185<br />

million is reportedly guaranteed.<br />

Jackson is certainly wealthy, but he<br />

also remains injury-prone and that<br />

has to be of grave concern to the Ravens,<br />

and their financial officers.<br />

because they have been trying for years to resolve the <strong>issue</strong>, the RM go straight to<br />

arbitration with the SMB rather than “wasting” the money on mediation. “I’d just<br />

as soon say, just tell us what’s happening and save the money.” Reeve Schmidt said<br />

that by accepting the Minister’s recommendation, “it looks like we are taking steps<br />

to come to an agreement.”<br />

Councilor Arndt expressed concern that if it is decided at SMB, the RM would be<br />

restricted in what they could do and potentially be required to maintain the roads<br />

at the same level as “all the other roads in the RM.”<br />

Council will also request representatives from each Village attend though they<br />

acknowledged they couldn’t control who was sent. The Resort Villages have agreed<br />

to have one spokesperson speak on behalf of the group, Tom Fulcher. He is a current<br />

councilor at Sunset Cove and was the former <strong>May</strong>or. The RM has been trying<br />

to negotiate separately with each Village. In a Sept <strong>20</strong>21 meeting, Reeve Schmidt<br />

said, “Ultimately we should be negotiating that individually with each village.”<br />

Then Councilor Dixon said he didn’t disagree, “but we have tried to get them to<br />

the table, we have tried the divide and conquer routine…which is the way to go, I<br />

agree, but it hasn’t worked.”<br />

Councilor Mark Strong then said he wanted to know the position of the RM representative<br />

they sent. This statement was not responded to during the discussion.<br />

“We don’t have any <strong>issue</strong> with regular vehicle traffic. All of our <strong>issue</strong>s are in the<br />

heavy-weight vehicles. It’s the heavy-weight water truck, sewer truck, garbage<br />

truck, construction truck that will come in and will destroy our road. It will be<br />

wet, and they don’t care when they come in,” said Reeve Schmidt.<br />

CAO, Camille Box, said that the resort villages have always said that there should<br />

be road maintenance agreements, but those are not the appropriate types of agreements<br />

and are typically for short-term hauling projects.<br />

Reeve Bob Schmidt said he would contact Gary Dixon to invite him. <strong>LMT</strong> has attempted<br />

to contact Reeve Schmidt, Former Councilor Dixon and all of the Council<br />

for an update if the invitation has been accepted.<br />

The only response has been from Councilor Mark Strong, who said, “This was not<br />

voted on and was not an invitation from all of council.” <strong>LMT</strong> informed him that<br />

the invitation was included in the motion, and he responded, “Well then I misunderstood<br />

the motion if that is the fact. I think we would still need to vote on the<br />

person as a council. Also I would say it should be a member of council or all of<br />

council who should take part in the mediation.”<br />

that to make a profit, he has had to pass the cost on to customers who aren’t<br />

happy about it. “It's very difficult,” he said the costs have doubled and<br />

tripled, “it's unbelievable.<br />

As a result, he’s unable to keep as many items in stock as he used to. He<br />

understands why people are unhappy because of the cost and lack of items.<br />

He is feeling it too. “I think that they are right…every people care about<br />

their money. They can’t buy from me because<br />

it’s too expensive so they go to Raymore or<br />

“The<br />

community<br />

needs to<br />

support the<br />

place, not<br />

just quit it...”<br />

another big store, they can buy cheaper. I can<br />

understand that.” He is feeling the brunt of<br />

people’s unhappiness about what’s happening<br />

when people aren’t getting what they expect.<br />

“It's been very stressful in a small village.”<br />

He wishes people understood what he’s been<br />

struggling with.<br />

Nguyen worries about the elderly residents in<br />

the community; many, he says, don’t drive and<br />

rely on his business. “If I were to close, I don’t<br />

know where they can go. I sympathize with<br />

them. So I stay open for that.”<br />

“That’s absolutely the people that hurt.” Semans<br />

<strong>May</strong>or, Jay Holmes, agrees with Nguyen.<br />

He noted that the community’s Affinity Credit<br />

Union is also closing, and he told them that “you are not really hurting the<br />

people who are mobile. There is a group of people in this community that<br />

aren’t mobile, and now there is no place to get cash. It’s the same with the<br />

grocery store.” He said there are local people who are struggling and not<br />

mobile, “I see them walking down to the store all the time and leaving with<br />

a bag of groceries. It would be pretty modest, but it’s still something they<br />

need.”<br />

When asked what he would say to the people in the community, Holmes<br />

said, “the biggest thing is, Don’t expect your local amenities and stores to<br />

be the way they used to be. Because that isn’t reasonable. The world has<br />

changed…out in rural Saskatchewan there isn’t near as many people to<br />

support these businesses. So it’s very hard for these businesses to survive…<br />

you should support them to a degree that you can. You go and get a little bit<br />

from them all the time… if everybody buys a little bit, you will keep them<br />

in business…”<br />

Nguyen says, “...many people in the Village, they are very nice...they know<br />

that I sell more expensive than Raymore but they still support us. That’s<br />

why it keeps me to stay here with them.”<br />

Holmes says if everyone quits because they are mad that things have<br />

changed, pretty soon there won't be anything. If people stop there once a<br />

week and buy a few things they need, that will help a lot. Then, they can go<br />

to a major grocery store elsewhere for the rest.<br />

“The community needs to support the place, not just quit it. Just come and<br />

buy what they can and what’s available. And if they all did that, business<br />

would pick up somewhat where there would be certain things that you<br />

could buy at our store all the time.” says Holmes.<br />

Holmes buys about a quarter of their list from the store. He said that the<br />

store needs to know its market and keep in stock those items that don’t<br />

perish as quickly and that people in the area need.<br />

Holmes said Nguyen’s suppliers wouldn’t leave him only four heads of<br />

lettuce, “His point is well taken and that was the problem with the co-op…<br />

they would throw half of it out.”<br />

Nguyen said his trading company has been holding up the store. When<br />

asked if he would be closing, he said, “I’ve tried to find people to run [it].<br />

But if I cannot find people to run [it], I will close, but not now.” Nguyen<br />

says he’s found a couple who will be coming to live in the community in<br />

July and will run both businesses, allowing the store to be open longer<br />

each day.<br />

Ag Notes<br />

CALVIN<br />

DANIELS<br />

But what of tomorrow?<br />

Rare breeds have long been an interest of mine – perhaps because when I was a youth, my dad raised<br />

registered swine, and when I was finally allowed my own, I purchased a Lacombe gilt.<br />

BY CALVIN DANIELS<br />

<strong>May</strong> 6, <strong>20</strong>23<br />

Lacombes are a breed that was developed in<br />

Canada, and when I was just a young lad,<br />

there were quite a few breeders across the<br />

Prairies. But, the breed fell out of favour and is<br />

now almost extinct in Canada, with just a few<br />

animals left. From a purely Canadian<br />

agriculture history, that is unfortunate.<br />

Somewhat surprisingly, given Canada’s<br />

significant farm heritage, relatively<br />

few purebred livestock were<br />

developed here; Canadienne cattle,<br />

the Canadian horse, and Chantecler<br />

chickens are other examples – none of<br />

which have huge numbers today.<br />

A breed of livestock need not be developed here to<br />

have significance to this country’s past. A breed<br />

of cattle such as the milking shorthorn was once<br />

popular because it was a dual-purpose animal<br />

capable of supplying a reasonable quantity of milk<br />

and still a decent beef type too. A combo coveted<br />

on the smaller mixed farms of the past. Today<br />

dairy is highly specialized, with breeds relied on<br />

carefully bred to produce milk in large quantities.<br />

Beef animals are largely reared under standardized<br />

feedlot conditions.<br />

The milking shorthorn couldn’t compete on either<br />

side of the cattle industry, and today, according to<br />

a producer.com article, only 10 purebred Milking<br />

Dairy Shorthorns are left in Canada. Now, it is easy<br />

to question whether the breed’s survival matters.<br />

The milking shorthorn is, at least at this point in<br />

time, as obsolete as the threshing machine is to<br />

harvesting wheat. But what of tomorrow? We increasingly<br />

see governments seeking to impose new<br />

regulations on farmers regarding how they farm.<br />

For example, another producer.com article discussed<br />

“Proposition 12, the California initiative<br />

that could see the state ban pork from barns and<br />

places that don’t have open housing for gestating<br />

sows, as well as requiring open housing that goes<br />

beyond the sorts of open housing that many new<br />

barns have built.” If allowed to pass, it will impact<br />

how swine are raised to access the huge California<br />

market.<br />

Change a finely tuned production system, and the<br />

existing genetics may not thrive as well. If the<br />

system is changed enough, will old breeds such as<br />

Tamworth and Large English Black swine be useful<br />

as they are breeds better suited to range production,<br />

for example. Do we see a day when huge acre<br />

farms give way to smaller holdings again? It might<br />

seem far-fetched to think that today, but climate<br />

change and other factors will be altering the script<br />

of many things moving forward.<br />

However, if a breed goes extinct, the genetics are<br />

lost, and there are reasonable scenarios where that<br />

would be unfortunate for the livestock sector.<br />

more-than-capable 5.0<br />

had three pedals, an option that<br />

seemed incredibly rare in the Camaro<br />

A newer model GT with the right<br />

parts could actually look really<br />

good, as well. Remember how cool<br />

Vanilla Ice was? <strong>May</strong>be, maybe not,<br />

but he did have a sweet white 5.0<br />

litre ragtop. Nowadays, you never<br />

see these cars. They were affordable<br />

enough to get bagged into the<br />

ground by young people, and they<br />

were also rusty. Sure, there are a<br />

few left out there, but they are very<br />

few, it seems. I also never see many<br />

of the Cougars and the Thunderbirds<br />

that were built on the same<br />

platform, and even though most of<br />

them sucked, the 1983 PPG Pace<br />

they could be.<br />

When the new Thunderbird came<br />

out in 1983, it was a drastic change<br />

from the previous generation. It<br />

was sleek, sporty, and right up to<br />

it into something more powerful,<br />

wheels finish off the package.<br />

Under the hood, in my opinion, is<br />

a total bummer. It has over 400<br />

horsepower, but that comes at the<br />

cost of a heavy, heat-puking 390<br />

V8. I’ve never been a huge 390 fan,<br />

but at the time, that was probably<br />

the easiest way to achieve that<br />

power. Nowadays, the 302 can<br />

make big power thanks to major<br />

advancements in the aftermarket,<br />

not to mention I’ve always<br />
