Scott Woods Band to perform at the Prince of Wales By Dan Archer The Scott Woods Band are playing at the Prince of Wales Cultural and Recreation Centre, with the show beginning at 7 p.m. One week before his arrival in Assiniboia, Woods discussed his musical interests, his time as a musical director for Memories of Don Messer’s Jubilee, his love for his hometown of Fergus, Ontario and other details. Scott Woods is a sixthgeneration fiddle player on his father’s side. His mother’s side of the family were also musicians for three to four generations. Since both parents came from a musical background, they encouraged their children to get involved in music at an early age. In fact, Woods received training in classical violin when he was four. Woods’ parents met when his mother joined his father’s band – a band his father started at the age of 12.

The

His father’s ensemble later developed into the Scott Woods Band. “When my mum was 16, she joined the band – the Merv Woods Orchestra. In the mid-1980s, I transitioned to become the leader. My dad pushed me to head the band,” Woods explained. Woods prefers to listen to fiddle music, because this particular instrument represents his musical speciality. However, he also listens to contemporary music, but this musician maintains high standards. “I like to listen to anything, but it has to be good.” For eight years, Woods served as the musical director for the Memories of Don Messer’s Jubilee, a theatrical accolade honouring the televised folk musical variety show broadcasted on CBC Television nationwide from 1957 until 1969.

Cat Country celebrates its grand opening By Dan Archer CIAT-FM, otherwise known as Cat Country, is Assiniboia’s new country music radio station. Cat Country held their grand opening at the Prince of Wales Cultural and Recreation Centre on May 31. There were barbecued hot dogs, cold drinks and cake, with a donation bucket set aside for Assiniboia’s minor baseball teams. The Southern Cruisers were also displaying their restored vehicles at the opening. The station broadcasts on 98.1 megahertz with their transmitting facility positioned near Willow Bunch. Cat Country’s central office is located on the upper level of the POW. Initially, the station intended to broadcast under the callsign of CHOG-FM. But in 2019, the station chose the callsign CIATFM and rebranded itself as Cat Country. The station’s coverage includes a large area of Southwest Saskatchewan from Val Marie to Weyburn. Also, Cat Country’s broadcasts are extending into northern Montana. Huber originates from the Briercrest-Avonlea area. He has an extensive background in radio broadcasting. Previously, he’s worked at the 104.9 The Wolf in Regina. Huber had also been employed with a radio station in southern British Columbia covering an area the size of France, including the Kootenays and parts of the Okanagan. A few years ago, Huber was attending a family reunion in Saskatchewan, when a relative suggested he should start a radio

station in his home province. Huber decided to launch a country station in Assiniboia after reading the results of some market studies stating what the people in this region would prefer to hear on their radios. “We did a bunch of audience research. People want to hear fresh country music.” Cat Country will feature about 85 per cent new country music with smaller amounts of older country hits from the 1990s and earlier. Huber’s application to the CRTC was approved on July 26, 2018. Initially, Huber had a tough battle, as he dealt with a large amount of paperwork and red tape to get his licence approved. However, Huber prevailed and successfully established the station in Assiniboia. The company promises to increase the job market in this community by employing people in the region. “We’re happy to be here and we’re hiring local.” The station has an inhouse news department. Cat Country features regular reports on road conditions, along with bulletins relating to cultural and community-related interests. A section of the programming is dedicated to agriculture – Assiniboia’s central industry.

Smoke from Albertan wildfires drift through southwest Saskatchewan By Dan Archer Earlier last month, Steve Roberts – the executive director of Saskatchewan’s Wildlife Management Branch with the Ministry of Environment – predicted the smoke from the fires in northern Alberta wouldn’t roll through Saskatchewan. “The wind drift is primarily to the west and to the northwest over the next

48 hours. We may get some localized smoke from a couple of the fires we’ve got in the province, but we’re not going to get those big plumes of smoke from Alberta,” Roberts said. Yet, smoke from the Albertan wildfires originating from the High Level area reached the Assiniboia area over the weekend of June 1-2, although western and

central parts of Saskatchewan remain the most affected areas in the province. In Lloydminster, thick patches of smoke spread across northern Alberta then shifted east and southeast towards Medicine Hat last Saturday, before moving further east into the Assiniboia region. However, the situation remains much worse in

areas north of Assiniboia. In Saskatoon, the air quality health index was reported to be rated at four (moderate risk) on May 30. Environment Canada warned citizens in the province about experiencing coughing, throat irritation, headaches and shortness of breath as the smoke from Alberta continued to travel through Saskatchewan.

MP defends Protection of Freedom of Conscience Act

A reader sent in this poster about N. Hanson and his Accordion Band, who played in Limerick in July 1935. The cost of admission was 25 cents.

Woods enjoys being a fiddler Continued from Front During this period beginning in the late 1990s, Scott met and worked with musicians who were on the original program, including Vic Mullen, who played five-string banjo on the original show and the well-known Canadian fiddler, Graham Townsend. Whenever Woods isn’t travelling across the country, he spends time in his hometown of Fergus, Ontario. He has a deep love for Fergus, which he describes as a “quaint town, which has grown from 3,000 to 20,000 people.” “I live in an older part of town in the house my grandfather built, which is right in the centre. I like sitting on the veranda in the summer, when you can hear the bagpipes playing.” Aside from being an excellent fiddler, Woods is

a multi-talented musician, who is capable of playing many other instruments. He enjoys performing on the drums, guitar and mandolin for other bands. “I love being behind the scenes, playing the bass or drums. I love filling in the background.” Step dancing will be a significant feature of the show. ‘Spaghetti Legs’ Leo Stock, a 14-year-old Canadian Step Dance Champion, will be performing the style of dance originating from Irish dancing and French-Canadian clogging. Woods described the beginnings of step dancing – a form of dance with a distinctive Canadian lineage. According to Woods, in the 1800s French Canadian loggers weren’t allowed to drink in camp, so they danced to entertain themselves. They wore hard

shoes, jigged on a plank and sang a melody in a style known as lilting. They kept the time with their feet and their arms were kept to their sides. “It’s really a fun style of dance, it really involves complicated footwork.” Scott Woods and his band are raising money for the St. Paul’s United Church in Assiniboia during their show. He said that “98 per cent of our shows are fundraisers for churches and for charities.” For anyone planning to attend the show on Monday, expect to see Leo Stock step dancing to some numbers. Scott will also perform flips during his famous trick-fiddling routine. Additionally, Canada’s Yodelling Cowgirl – Naomi Bristow – will also be debuting at the Prince of Wales Centre with the Scott Woods Band.

Opinion submitted by David Anderson, MP. Cypress Hills-Grasslands The debate around individual rights in Canada is complicated and emotionally-charged. I can think of no better example than the discussion in recent months around the sanctity of conscience rights, particularly those of medical professionals. Conscience forms the basis of a medical professional’s motivation to pursue their particular field. Doctors practice every day with the knowledge that it is their conscience that motivates them to test the limits of their expertise and skill. They know that patient care will suffer if they are deprived of the ability to live with integrity and follow their conscience. They know the importance of these beliefs to themselves and their patients far better than anyone else. For a great many Canadian doctors, the core of their conscience prohibits their participation in taking a life. Indeed, many doctors remain devoted to the black and white of the ancient Hippocratic Oath - a pledge which prohibits the administration of a poison to anyone. In Canada, the reality is that the provision of a lifeending ‘poison’ is now permitted by the law of the land. Three years ago, taking a patient’s life through medical means was culpable homicide. Doctors were not obligated by any means to provide these services to patients. In 2016, these once unwavering rights were radically challenged through the Liberal government’s legalization of physicianassisted suicide, or medical assistance in dying (MAID), through bill C-14. The Liberals’ attempt to provide protection for doctors consisted solely of a rudimentary clause which stated that “nothing...compels an individual to provide or assist in providing medical

assistance in dying.” However, this provision lacked the teeth needed for its effective enforcement, as evidenced by the ongoing pressure exerted on physicians by their regulating bodies. It should be noted that even the premise of C-14 – the Supreme Court of Canada’s Carter v. Canada decision – explicitly said that the legalization of euthanasia did not entail a duty of physicians to provide it. Despite this assurance, assisted suicide/euthanasia now exists in this country and while the law now permits it, many doctors’ consciences will not. Through the availability of assisted suicide ondemand across Canada, threats to conscience are no longer confined to the rhetoric of the court room – they are increasingly present in the examination room. That is why I believe it is time to take action in defence of conscience rights that have stood the test of time for generations. My Private Member’s Bill, C-418, seeks to amend the Criminal Code to make it an offence to intimidate a medical practitioner, nurse practitioner, pharmacist or any other health care professional for the purpose of compelling them to take part, directly or indirectly, in the provision of physician-assisted suicide. C-418 would also make it an offence to dismiss from employment or to refuse to employ a medical practitioner, nurse practitioner, pharmacist or any other health care professional for the reason only that they refuse to take part, directly or indirectly, in the provision of physician-assisted suicide. My bill would provide the teeth that C-14 acutely lacks. Are these protections necessary? You bet. Throughout the legislative process, I have spoken with doctors who feel overt pressure to leave family medicine because of their conscientious beliefs. I have heard of pal-

liative care doctors in Ontario who have stopped practicing altogether. Nurses feel increasingly bullied, choosing to shift their focus or retire early. The pressure on these professionals exists, and they are looking for relief. What is more, regional associations, such Ontario’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, have introduced regulations compelling conscientiously-objecting physicians to participate by providing ‘effective referrals’ for physician-assisted suicide. A recent court decision has upheld this directive, contravening the assurances provided in Carter v. Canada and creating an even more urgent need among physicians for protection. My bill does not address the social acceptability of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Protecting physicians’ conscience rights is not at all a physician vs. patient scenario. By protecting physicians’ conscience rights and relying on them as the experts, patients’ rights are enhanced. C-418 is about protecting the fundamental freedom of conscience and religion guaranteed to all Canadians in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Parliamentarians from all parties cannot ignore the groundswell of support my bill, C-418, has received from across Canada. Canadians believe it is time to stand up for doctors and health care providers who aren’t willing to leave their core ethics behind when they’re at a patient’s bedside. David Anderson, Member of Parliament for Cypress Hills – Grasslands, began debate on his Private Member’s Bill C-418, The Protection of Freedom of Conscience Act, on May 29 in the House of Commons. For more information and to sign a petition calling on the Liberal government to pass C-418, local residents can visit davidanderson.ca/issues/c418.

We need to learn how to live with less plastic

lastic is a wonderful product – perhaps the greatest invention of the late 19th century. John Wesley Hyatt is responsible for creating the first synthetic polymer in 1869 after responding to a plea from a New York firm who were offering $10,000 to anyone who could develop a substitute for ivory. Plastic didn’t always have a bad reputation with environmentalists and treehuggers. In fact, the invention of plastic originated from a corporate desire to save the elephants. Early billiard balls were made of clay, wood and ox-bone until ivory gained favour for English players in the 1600s. When billiards grew in popularity in the United States in the 1800s, this pressured companies who were manufacturing balls and other related equipment for the sport to find more ivory. The growing popularity of billiards in the U.S. resulted in an increase in elephant slaughter to make balls, tables and other billiards-related components from their tusks. Hyatt took on the challenge to save the elephants by treating cellulose from cotton fibre with a dose of camphor. Soon, the inventor discovered a substance capable of being crafted and shaped into several forms. Hyatt’s new creation could replicate the materials found in a host of animal-derived products, including tortoiseshells and horns. His innovation could also imitate linen. Before Hyatt’s breakthrough, we had always obtained materials from natural sources such as wood, metals, stone, tusks, horns, stone and glass, but this inventor’s discovery changed everything. Early advertisements for celluloid referred to Hyatt’s invention as the saviour of the elephant and the tortoise. So, saving planet earth had been the original intention of Hyatt’s plastic legacy, but in 2019, plastic is considered as a necessary evil. We speak of reducing plastic in our landfills. We encourage each other to recycle plastic, even if most of us (including myself) have vague ideas about recycling. We stuff our bins with Styrofoam, plastic bags and food containers, hoping the rubbish is somehow transferred to a mystic fairyland, thus disappearing from our lives forever. But plastic is durable, recycling most plastics is difficult and our landfills are beyond full. We’ve got to find ways to live with less plastic. At the end of May, David Common reported from Malaysia, where Canada’s been denounced as an irresponsible exporter of plastic waste. After the Philippines, Malaysia is the second Asian nation planning to regift us with the trash we shipped to them. Malaysian officials opened a shipping container filled with plastic bags from Canadian store chains on May 28, and noted the packaging stamped with “Made in Canada” labels from brands only we Canucks would recognize. “I think you need to take back your rubbish,” Malaysian Environment Minister Yeo Bee Yin told the CBC News crew at Port Klang. Earlier, containers filled with contaminated plastic and other waste products were scheduled to leave the Philippines for Canada after a diplomatic row over the fleets of garbage a Canadian company had shipped there in 2013 and 2014. We love our plastic bags, but in other countries grocery shops are reducing this need by providing sacks only when asked and charging money for them. Tesco’s – the United Kingdom’s largest grocery chain – will become the latest major UK supermarket to ditch the 5 pence single-use bag in favour of the 10 pence bag (14.3 cents) for life . This is a great move, but the United Kingdom is fighting their own lopsided battle, since they don’t have institutions such as SARCAN, where beverage containers are recycled for cash. In Canada, we’ve been recycling plastic soft drink containers in exchange for money for several years. So, while the United Kingdom is getting it right about plastic bags, British streets and ditches are filled with used two-litre bottles of Fanta, Irn Bru and Barr Shandy. If we really want to get serious about limiting the use of plastics, we need to learn from each other as a planet to tackle this issue. The greatest, well-planned recycling programs won’t stop all the plastics from entering our oceans. However, if all the industrialized nations agree to implement international-based programs involving source reduction, reuse and recycling, we’ll all get on the right track much sooner.

Submitted by Pastor Doug Miner Messiah Lutheran. Luke 24:1-5. But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, two men in dazzling clothes suddenly appeared beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? Like each of the apostles and Jesus himself, this body of ours is subject to life and death. As Christians we uphold the teaching of the word that in our very faith we have died and rose again. We are new creations in Christ. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said - “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. While we as a society are leaning more and more toward celebrating the life of people who have died amongst our families and friends, let us not forget to celebrate the faith of these people and the Christian faith, for this is the gift of God.

As we gather for a funeral, we gather to comfort one another with these promises of God and with these teachings of Jesus our Lord who said to the criminal dying alongside him on the cross, “Today you will be with me in paradise.” As we visit the graves of those we love, let this same question comfort you and remind you of this Christian faith. “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” Celebrate the gift of God; the faith by which a Christian lives and dies. I know sin causes us to be other than the person we could be in Christ and that there are those who have died who have not been the person we maybe hoped they could have been during our earthly journey with them. Here is where we can even celebrate imperfect faith that is still the gift of God and the possibilities of God’s grace regarding an eternal life; that this one we loved may be in eternal life in Christ the person we had always longed for, the person they always longed to be, but were unable. God’s promise may offer reconciliation and consolation we have not considered. Hope for eternal life that we could not find in our relationship. Build each other up in this most holy faith in Jesus Christ.

Gardener’s Corner LesLie’s LeafLets: Winter BroWning

Browning can be caused by winter desiccation, what that means is winter air can get so cold it freeze dries branches on deciduous plants and leaves of Evergreens. Winter winds and air temperature pull the moisture out ofthe branches of deciduous and Evergreen plants, there is a way to prevent this it is by applying anti desiccant product in the fall before winter comes. Once a plant has lost moisture in its branches or leaves due to desiccation it is not possible to repair those leaves or branches. What you can do is prevention. There are few tips and tricks that will help you help your plants on the prairies.

Water Security Agency urges proper septic waste disposal As resort communities, cottagers and campsites gear-up for another busy Saskatchewan summer, residents are reminded to use the proper disposal methods for septic waste. Improper disposal of septic waste can damage the environment and poses health and safety issues for residents, pets, livestock and wildlife. Inappropri-

ate management of septic waste also presents a genuine threat to our provincial water resources. Septic haulers must possess a valid permit to transport and dispose of liquid domestic sewage. The permit in the hauler’s possession must outline their specific operating requirements – the haulers are only allowed to dispose of

waste in accordance with their permit conditions. When hiring a septic waste hauling operator, residents should ask to see the haulers’ Water Security Agency-issued permit then inquire where the waste is being disposed. For more information about the proper disposal of septic waste, contact the Water Security Agency at 306-787-7911.

All good plants begin with being planted in the ground and watered appropriately every plant needs one gallon of water for every foot of height or spread whichever is greater. when fall comes usually around September it is recommended to reduce the number of watering days. Make sure you do not fertilize your plants after July 15th on the prairies. These tips are to help your plant prepare for winter, Prairie winters can be very extreme, when we can go from -10 to -40 overnight and stay -40 for 2 weeks straight it is hard to maintain life outdoors. Another tip that you can use to help your plants prepare for winter is to avoid pruning any plant after August 15th. The goal here is to prevent the plant from making any new growth in the fall. New growth on a plant in the fall that has to be maintained over the wintertime is often too lush to survive are harsh winters. Last winter was extremely harsh on our plants if you’re struggling with any of your plants this year please give us a call so we can help you help your plants often they are not completely dead but they could be helped with fertilizer and water. Happy planting and I look forward to seeing you at the Garden Centre this year! If you have a question for Leslie’s Leaflets send an email to lesliecornell65@gmail.com

What every car owner should know about brake maintenance

Spring car care checklist Typically, your vehicle needs a bit of TLC come spring. Here are four things that should be at the top of your to-do list at the start of the season. 1. Schedule an oil change. Oil collects impurities as it lubricates and cools the engine. This is a good thing, but it also means that it becomes less effective over time. This is why regular oil changes are essential to maintaining a healthy engine. 2. Get your battery tested. Low temperatures during winter force your battery to work hard. Come spring, it may be on its last legs. To avoid the inconvenience of having your car fail to start, get your battery checked and, if necessary, replaced. 3. Check tire pressure. Fluctuations in

temperature cause changes in tire pressure, so it’s important to check it as the weather starts to change. See the tire pressure recommendations in your vehicle’s manual. 4. Wash and wax your vehicle. Road salt used during winter corrodes your ve hicle’s metal components.Thoroughly wash your vehicle, paying special attention to the underside where salt, dirt and debris tend to become lodged. Spring is the perfect time for a waxing too — this not only protects the finish of your vehicle but also makes subsequent washing easier. This list could be added to. Your car’s fluids, windshield, belts and hoses, among other things, may require attention.

When behind the wheel, your safety depends on the proper functioning of your brakes. It’s important to understand, however, that critical brake components deteriorate with time. Two items that require regular inspection are the brake pads and the brake fluid. Brake pads Brake pads wear down due to friction and usually need to be replaced about every 50,000 kilometres or when there’s one-eighth or less of the pad lining remaining. When brake pads are nearing the end of their lifespan they let you know by emitting a high-pitched screeching noise as you brake. Brake fluid Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture and contaminants that make it less effective. It should be replaced about every two years or every 35,000 ki lometres. However, recommendations vary by manufacturer (check your owner’s manual).

Leaks can sometimes occur but it’s unc ommon that your car’s brake fluid levels will suddenly drop. The most obvious sign of a leak is a puddle under your car that has the consistency of vegetable oil. Your dashboard warning light coming on is another clear indication. Generally, a leak will also change the feel of your brake pedals — they’ll feel squishy or spongy when you pump on them. Verify that your brake fluid levels are in order by checking the brake fluid reservoir under your hood. Needless to say, a leak requires immediate attention. While these are the two parts of the brake system that typically require the most attention, issues with other parts (the rotors, callipers, brake shoes, etc.) can certainly arise. Some signs of these other types of brake problems are grinding, clunking noises and vibrations when braking. If you notice these things, get your car inspected ASAP!

Commonly asked questions about windshield wipers Are your windshield wipers streaking, squeaking, skipping or splitting? If so, it’s not surprising. Wiper deterioration is a common consequence of winter driving and nothing is harder on them than ice and snow. As soon as wipers are no longer functioning optimally, and visibility is compromised, it’s imperative to get them replaced. This is quick and easy to do — you just need to know a few basic things. What types of wipers are available? There are three main types of wipers: • Conventional wipers. These wipers are the most affordable. They’re durable and reliable. • Aero wipers. This type of wiper adheres better to the windshield, ensuring a streak-free cleaning. • Hybrid wipers. Offering the best of both worlds, these wipers are basically heavy-duty aero wipers. What size should I buy? The size of wiper you need depends

on the type of vehicle you own. You can consult your owner’s manual to find out how long they should be. Alternatively, you can go to an auto parts store: most have a computer in which you can input your car’s information in order to learn what wiper size you need. How are wipers removed and installed? Removing wipers is usually a simple matter that requires little more than unhooking them. However, the precise method to do so depends on the type and brand. Installing new wipers is just as easy and involves simply hooking or clipping them on. The packaging will contain instructions to guide you. However, this is a service that most auto shops will perform inexpensively or even for free when you purchase wipers from them. If your wipers are no longer functioning well, don’t wait to swap them out — visibility is essential to staying safe on the road.

Keeping your children safe in the car

Did You Know? On a global scale, there are about 220,000 vehicles produced every day. About 14 of the bunch are Ferraris and more than 13,000 are Toyotas. At the end of the year, this adds up to more than 80 million vehicles.

About 80 per cent of a vehicle’s materials are recyclable. Moreover, vehicles are the most recycled consumer product in the world. So when you take your old ride to the scrap yard, know that it’s not the end of its journey.

Drivers are 23 times more likely to be in a collision when texting behind the wheel. Looking down at a cell phone for five seconds while driving at 90 kilometres per hour is like driving the length of a football field blindfolded.

Today, women buy more cars then men. They purchase 60 per cent of all new cars sold and influence 80 per cent of all new car purchases. Their preferred ride? Generally small SUVs and compact cars.

Thanks to car seats and booster seats, young children and infants can safely travel by car. However, to ensure their well-being, there are certain precautions you need to take concerning their seats as well as the vehicle itself. Car seat safety Infants and toddlers should be in rearfacing car seats until they’re at least two years old and weigh 10 kilograms (22 pounds). Keep your child in their rear-facing seat for as long as possible — until they’ve exceeded the seat’s weight and height limits. When between 10 kilograms (22 pounds) and 18 kilograms (40 pounds), toddlers and young children can sit in forward-facing car seats. It’s best to secure children in their forward-facing car seat until they’ve reached the maximum weight and height limit for the particular seat. Children who are at least four and weigh above 18 kilograms (40 pounds) can move on to a booster seat. Choose the seat that you’re able to correctly install every time and that’s the best fit for both your child and your vehicle. The best place for a car seat is in the middle of the backseat. Vehicle safety If you’re purchasing a new vehicle, your primary concern as a parent is how safe it is for your children. Look for a car with high safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). These

TRUCK

ratings can be found on their website at iihs.org. Also, check the IIHS LATCH rating (also provided on the IIHS website), which evaluates the safety of a vehicle’s child seat attachment hardware. Moreover, look at vehicles’ individual safety features (for instance, back-up cameras, blind spot monitoring, collision avoidance systems and traction control). Whether you’re getting a new vehicle or sticking with your current one, make sure it receives regular maintenance. A well-maintained vehicle is less likely to be involved in accidents. The annual Safe Communities Assiniboia Car Seat Clinic will be held at the Southland Co-op parking lot on Thursday, June 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free car seat checks will be completed by certified SGI technicians.

Saskatchewan removes interprovincial importation limits for alcohol

Brandy Gyman and Dena Peterson gave hot dogs to the attendees at Cat Country’s grand opening. They also collected donations for Assiniboia’s Photo by Dan Archer baseball teams.

Government proclaims Disability Service Professionals Week The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May 27 to May 31 as Disability Service Professionals Week. Disability Service Professionals Week celebrates the important work that people across the province do to provide quality support to people with disabilities. The Ministry of Social Services’ 2019-20 Budget

included a one per cent salary increase for community-based organizations and funding for more direct support positions, along with $800,000 to deliver training for communitybased organizations. Total funding provided by Social Services to disability sector community-based organizations is $213.9 million for 2019-20.

This proclamation supports the Saskatchewan Disability Strategy by helping to create awareness and understanding of the rights of people with disabilities. The strategy also recommends recognition of the value of disability service providers and direct-support workers who provide services for people with disabilities.

Alberta border. The MLA is certain most people living in his district were unaware of the legal issues involved with importing alcohol from Alberta, until this law was changed. “I would suspect that you would find that most citizens didn’t even know there were personal restrictions on importation.” When the question of importing cannabis from another province came up, Harrison was unaware of any restrictions existing which involved the transportation of marijuana from another province to Saskatchewan. However, a $300 fine exists for those who purchase cannabis from a jurisdiction outside of Saskatchewan which neglects to follow provincial or federal regulations. Also, the government recommends travellers to be aware of the cannabis laws in other provinces, as different age limits and distinctive laws on usage exist across the country.

as regions without interprovincial restrictions on alcohol importation for personal use. Note: the recent legal change is only applicable for interprovincial importation limits. Canadians are still expected to adhere to the alcohol duty free allowances when importing alcohol from other countries, as the federal government is responsible for establishing these regulations. Previously, Saskatchewan residents were permitted to import nine litres of wine; three litres of spirits and 24.6 litres of beer, coolers or a combination of beer and coolers from other provinces. However, Harrison was unable to find a record of anyone who had been charged with violating this law in recent times. “I suspect it was just a summary offence, but we couldn’t find a prosecution in the last while.” Indeed, Harrison’s riding of Meadow Lake is 192 kilometres away from the

By Dan Archer Residents of Saskatchewan are now able to transport beer, spirits and other beverage alcohol products from another province or territory within Canada for personal use without facing legal constraints as of May 28. “The government is going to be removing all limitations on personal use on the importation of alcohol,” Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “This change will mean Saskatchewan residents can bring beverage alcohol home with them from another province or territory in Canada for their own personal use without restrictions.” The majority of Canada’s provinces and territories still have caps on the volumes of alcohol residents are able to bring home with them from another province or territory. But with this change, Saskatchewan joins Alberta, Manitoba and Nova Scotia

Seeding is close to complete in SE area Seeding of the 2019 crop is nearing completion, with the majority of the crop being planted this month. Ninety-two per cent of the crop is now seeded, up from 73 per cent last week and well ahead of the five-year average (2014-18) of 83 per cent for this time of year. The southwest region is the most advanced, with 96 per cent of the crop in the ground. Ninety-four per cent is seeded in the southeast, 91 per cent of the crop is seeded in the east central region, 92 per cent in the west central region, 90 per cent in the northeast and 87 per cent in the northwest. Rainfall was reported this past week throughout the province, ranging from trace amounts to 75 mm in a localized area near Turtleford. Topsoil moisture conditions continue to deteriorate across the province due to strong winds and a lack of moisture. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 32 per cent ad-

equate, 48 per cent short and 20 per cent very short. Topsoil moisture on hay land and pasture is rated as 25 per cent adequate, 47 per cent short and 28 per cent very short. Significant rain is still needed across the province to help crops emerge and for hay land and pasture to be established. Hay and pasture growth have been slow due to little rainfall. Provincially, pasture conditions are rated as 17 per cent good, 37 per cent fair, 32 per cent poor and 14 per cent very poor. Crop growth is delayed in much of the province and most crops are behind their normal developmental stages for this time of year. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to lack of moisture, frost, strong winds, hail and insects such as flea beetles and cutworms. Farmers are completing seeding operations and starting in-crop pesticide applications.

Here is a photo of the mural at the Friends of the St. Victor Petroglyphs interpretive centre in St. Victor. Painted by David L Munro and Tracy Britton, the 16’ by 8’ mural depicts Metis deep in a coulee and a Red River Cart and driver, which depicts the arrival of Metis to the area and the remains of the wagon trail in the area.

How does crop HAIL INSURANCE crop in the ground? insurance work? Is your Do you have it covered?

Crop insurance offers farmers financial protection in case of lost crops due to natural disasters or lost profits caused by sudden fluctuations in the market. This type of insurance is subsidized by the federal government and is available for purchase to all agricultural producers. Crop insurance usually falls into two general categories: crop-yield insurance and crop-revenue insurance. Crop-yield insurance goes into effect when crop yield is adversely affected by bad weather conditions or natural disasters like hail, flooding or forest fires. If your yield falls below the guaranteed level, the insurance company will reimburse you for your financial loss. Crop-revenue insurance applies when farmers suffer a loss of revenue due to declines in price for the crops in question. With this type of insurance, you can make sure

you don’t take a loss in profit during a bad market year. In Canada, an all-risk crop insurance program is available to Canadian farmers for a variety of major cash crops und er the federal Crop Insurance Act of 1959 and through complementary legislation enacted by each province. This insurance is heavily subsidized by the federal government and is currently in use by over 100,000 farmers nationwide. In February of this year, federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced enhancements to the 2019 Crop Insurance Program for the province. Saskatchewan producers can access the highest coverage in program history as the Crop Insurance Program evolves and continues to adapt to the changing agricultural landscape in the province.

Adrienne Corkery passed away peacefully on May 17th, 2019 having lived a full and blessed life of 90 years. Adrienne was born on June 3rd, 1928, to Adrien and Jeanne Belcourt in Gravelbourg, SK, the oldest daughter of a family of seven children. She was the first baby born in the new Gravelbourg Hospital. She grew up in Lafleche, SK going to Mathieu School with a love of French and music and upon graduation from High School, attended Normal School in Moose Jaw to become a teacher. Adrienne married Patrick Richard (Dick) Corkery in November 1954 and settled on a farm in the Harwood District south of Lafleche. Adrienne and Dick had two children, Vince in 1961 and Marion in 1966. After Dick passed away in April of 1984, Adrienne remained on the farm for two and half years before purchasing a house in Lafleche in the fall of 1986. She sold the home quarter to nephew David Sproule and rented the remaining land to David and Garth Sproule. David and Shari purchased the entire farm in 2015. After many years, Adrienne sold her house in Lafleche to Merle and Aline Sproule in 2009 and moved into the Wheatland Lodge in Lafleche where she resided until her passing. While Adrienne missed her husband Dick and son Vince greatly after their passing, she had great love for her daughter Marion, her children’s families and grandchildren, her brothers, sister, and in-laws, and her nieces and nephews and their families. She was happiest when she received visitors or when someone called and she cared for everyone.

Burrowing Owls return to prairies After their long journey from the American Southwest and Mexico, Burrowing Owls have finally arrived at their summer home on the prairies. With breeding season well underway, the endangered owls are now pairing up and selecting their nesting spots, where they will soon be laying and incubating their eggs. Finding prime real estate for their nest is critical and not always a simple task. Since they cannot dig their own burrows, Burrowing Owls must rely on those abandoned by badgers, Richardson’s ground squirrels (gophers), and other burrowing mammals. The owls also benefit from livestock grazing, which keeps the grass short enough for the owls to spot their predators. These unique birds can be identified by their yellow eyes and the mottled pattern of their brown and white plumage. Their legs are also long and bare – giving them an appearance

of walking on stilts. The juveniles can be recognized by their solid buff-coloured chests. Burrowing Owls are only slightly larger than a robin and have a height of about nine inches. The owls are known as generalist predators and as such they eat a wide variety of small animals. Their meals might include mice, voles, snakes and insects. The population of Burrowing Owls continues to decline. There were an estimated 795 mature individuals in Canada in 2004, but the 2015 estimate suggests there are now only 270 Burrowing Owls remaining in Canada. There are a number of ways to contribute to the conservation of these owls. Landowners can voluntarily participate in Operation Burrowing Owl and conserve owl habitat as well as monitor the species on their land. If you spot a Burrowing Owl, please call Nature Saskatchewan’s toll-free HOOT Line, 1-800-667-HOOT (4668).

Mandatory training for semi drivers for farm operations New training requirements for those wishing to drive a semi in agriculture operations will be phased in starting next year. The changes follow the implementation of 121.5 mandatory training hours for Class 1 commercial semi drivers that came into effect March 15, 2019. At the time, the government also introduced a temporary exemption for people who wanted to drive a semi in farming operations. Drivers could get an “F” endorsement on their existing licence by passing the Class 1 tests without taking mandatory training. Holders of an “F” endorsement were limited to driving semis within the province. “We wanted to take some more time to consult with the farm sector on the impacts mandatory training would have on their industry, recogniz-

ing that vehicles used in farming operations are – in most cases – not on the roads as much as commercial semis; they also tend to travel shorter distances and through areas with lower traffic volumes,” Minister Responsible for SGI Joe Hargrave said. “That consultation work is now complete. The majority of people we consulted in the agriculture sector agreed training was necessary to improve safety for everyone travelling on our roads.” Effective March 1, 2020, anyone wishing to obtain an “F” endorsement on their existing driver’s licence will be required to take 40 hours of commercial driver training. The “F” endorsement will include a restriction that the holder can drive a farm vehicle normally requiring a Class 1 driver’s licence only within a 100-

km radius of the address on the vehicle registration and is restricted to operating within Saskatchewan’s borders. The “F” endorsement will be eliminated and anyone wanting to operate a semi will require a Class 1 driver’s licence, which will include taking the full 121.5-hour mandatory training program. This includes all “F” endorsement holders, who will need to complete the training program. Drivers who have previously taken 40 hours of training toward the “F” endorsement will be given credit for those hours. The changes mean in 2021 mandatory training programs across the prairies will be completely aligned. Anyone who obtained a Class 1 licence before mandatory training was implemented is allowed to continue to drive a semi.

Ellen Kirby and her sister Shirley Wolfe participated in Assiniboia’s first Photo by Dan Archer town-wide garage sale on June 1.

Assiniboia’s community yard and garage sale a success By Dan Archer Many Assiniboians participated in a community yard and garage sale held throughout the town on June 1. Residents were invited to enrol in Assiniboia’s first Community Yard and Garage sale at no cost. Denise Farwell – the organizer of this community sale – provided the online advertising for free. She also printed the address lists of those who registered with her. Before the day of the town-wide jumble sale on June 1, the addresses of all the participants were printed on the lists, which were also placed

on Facebook. The printed versions of her sales directories were distributed throughout town and were available in assorted shops and restaurants, where the public could pick them up free of charge. In order to enter, applicants were expected to email, call or text Farwell with their information. Sellers were also invited to comment on the Facebook event page: Assiniboia Community Yard/Garage Sale then catalogue their top selling items. “This is the first year of many I hope,” Farwell said as she described her event earlier last week. “We have

55 households registered, so it should be a good day of garage sales.” Farwell is thrilled with the enthusiastic reactions she received from the town before the sale began. “The response was awesome. I was hoping to get at least 25 people interested and here we are at 55 and counting.” “I have heard that a lot of little towns around here do this with much success. I thought it was Assiniboia’s turn to try it and have some fun,” added Farwell. “I am hoping that the community yard and garage sale will become an annual event.”
